A coronavirus as officials report another huge jump and cases infections are increasing theyre faster than anywhere else. And the golden bear for helen mirren the british actress takes home the like time Achievement Award at the Berlin InternationalFilm Festival. Im sumi so much gonna its good to have you with us nato has scheduled an emergency session today as tensions grow between turkey and the russian backed Syrian Government is vowing retaliation after Syrian Forces killed at least 33 turkish soldiers and an airstrike in northwestern syria and its calling for an international no fly zone in the it liberation to protect the civilian population there further military action threatens to put on a collision course with moscow. A major escalation in dozens of texas troops dead the wounded taken back to turkey for treatment. Of result of the airstrikes 33. 00 soldiers are martyred. None of our Wounded Soldiers who are being treated in hospital are in critical condition. Martyrs rest in peace. Takis response was swift turkish officials released footage showing their retaliatory strikes saying they have fired on all known Syrian Government targets. Meanwhile takesh Officials Say that opening the border to the millions of Syrian Refugees who want to go to europe reversing a pledge turkey made to the European Union and 2016. And me of the turkish greek border refugees are ideal waiting to cross into your i. Heard the news and thats why i came because i want to go to europe this is. The way for over 22. 00 and a half hours. This. Is we were living in istanbul we want to go to greece the International Community is scrambling to respond to these developments with the fate of these refugees still unknown. Lets get more on the story now we can speak to military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer in moscow and correspondent yulia han in istanbul good to have you both yulia lets start with you there what more can you tell us about the latest developments. Well weve seen a number of clashes that between takesh and russian backed Syrian Regime forces in recent weeks and but from what we understand this airstrike a yes a day has caused the largest death toll for turkey in a single day since it 1st intervened in syria 4 years ago now attack he has been retaliating against Syrian Regime positions thats according to the president ial palace in onkar there has been a National Security meeting last night chaired by the present in selve this gives you an idea of just how serious of an issue this is for turkey so there are no signs of backing down here from remember the present add on has given damascus a deadline to retreat to previously agree cease fire lines in the it live by the end of the month which is today or tomorrow there has been also a phone call as we understand between president and one of president putin with no immediate outcome they have reportedly agreed on setting up a top level 6 meeting sooner or later but considering the situation on the ground right now there are no signs that bush will back down that he will retreat so its safe to assume that we are going to see rather more confrontation than less in the coming days all right so the situation. In puzzle lets come to you in moscow now as we just heard there has apparently been this phone call between president s everyone and putin talking about the need to normalize the situation but at the same time russia is very clearly supporting the Syrian Government here is also sending additional warships to the region what message is moscow sending. Well the message from moscow is be the same for the last i dont know a priest a monster maybe a bit more and this is not the course the 1st time aired then you know where on the phone. From moscow saying that he had no terrorist threat in that he did should be dealt with and who is a terrorist they will decide to sit together with the asset government and it anyway this is a sovereign syrian territory and the Syrian Government internet which they believe is the legal see Syrian Government over us that is free to do what it wishes on its own territory and should not be opposed by outside Turkish Forces so thats a guy so its a basically state that would draw a padley in the talks that continued for some time between our russian answer to shed spurts some russian rules of new maps were good for war for redrawing the next soco the escalation zone to take into account the late this excess as the Syrian Arab Army the s. S. Forces so much cut so much smaller the area they dont not do not control the most likely leaving a bit at that there is a border still without damascus control but these locals are not good enough for the turks public just quickly you know the un and nato there are calling for a cease fire here is that something that russia would be willing to honor to pressure damascus to do so. Russia saying that the ceasefire with terrorists is impossible and that the turks the Russian Military saying that the turks kind of got mixed up with the. Socalled quote unquote terrorists and thats why they were quoted there heap of course by to be Syrian Arab Army air force the course load Bombing Missions and with are controlled by the russian air controllers the military control center in nearby base the Russian Military gave a go ahead. Their russian ascending to frigates the met training though thats more of a show of flag actually because actually they have so the wont range cruise missiles that can head any target in turkey or in syria from the blacks militarily that does not make the situation worse but it is very important its getting worse the problem right now hes a little there be or will there not be and not fly zone and close the. Posing that Russian Air Force and that could lead to direct question is between Turkish Air Force russian their force or Turkish Air Forces supported by other nato countries that guy named various recess coach ok so youll be i want to come back to you to ask you about the hundreds of thousands of people who are on the move here not just only fleeing the fighting in england but also those refugees who are in turkey heading towards europe what does all of this mean for them. Well 1st of all the hundreds of thousands of refugees currently stuck in the live near the Turkish Border staying there in the overcrowded refugee camps and the very very horrible conditions that these people for the time being will remain there because it because turkey has not opened its borders for these refugees what you also mentioned are refugees that are apparently currently on the move here in turkey towards euro a turkish official told reporters last night that turkey will no longer be able to stop the 4000000 refugees residing in cite turkey already from trying to reach a europe and we are seeing the consequences of this now theyre all t. V. Images of people gathering. Land border with greece and bulgaria people trying to move to the greek islands in boats and these of course are pictures that will cause quite some concern in europe they might also force euro to act when it comes to live right our correspondent yulia han in istanbul and felgenhauer in moscow thank you both for joining us. Here in germany the Health Ministry has just confirmed almost 660 rather cases of the coronavirus thats a significant jump from just 16 at the beginning of the week 56 countries or territories have reported cases of the virus south korea has seen a sharp rise with more than 300. 00 new infections bringing the total there a total of 2000. Cases of the virus in Subsaharan Africa and iran which has seen the highest number of deaths outside china called off friday prayers and some major cities in a bid to stem the spread of the disease well this week south korea surpassed china with a number of new daily corona virus infections the south Korean Public Health response has focused largely on the city of daegu with the disease spread rapidly among members of a secretive church but all over the country people are worried. Sneaking round the block queuing up for face masks says korea has the highest number of coronavirus cases outside Mainland China and people here in the capital seoul are worried. Me of course im concerned because there arent enough mass. But im still thankful because we can at least get our hands on the news. Without it we can do is trust the government when they say theyll ramp up this attack even toyed with the government. And the k. Pop scene is taking a coronavirus hit megastars b. T. S. Have canceled 4 of their soul concerts shadowed for april their management say the large numbers of crew and concert goers would have been a concern. In japan authorities have taken the decision to close schools for almost a month affecting 13000000. 00 children. There will be many challenges. If children in the lower grades of Elementary School have to stay at home due to School Closures their parents will have to take time off work but you want to put the government was thinking about measures we can take for these situations to. Protecting the Global Economy is becoming as important as protecting people from the virus itself. So it is the good of it that even if it may seem excessive once youre infected it will be too late so closing schools and canceling events and might be difficult for those people involved but its better than catching the virus even the kids who study. Here theres broad public support for japans efforts to contain the spread of the outbreak continues to affect more and more countries around the world. While Global Markets are heading for their worst week since the financial crisis in 2008 investors are ditching risky assets on fears that the coronavirus could trigger a global recession germanys dax plummeted by more than 5 percent in morning trading asian markets closed well down on friday with the nikkei index ending the week on most 10 percent lower and u. S. Markets took a dramatic tumble on. Thursday after the World Health Organization warns that the epidemic was now at a decisive point. And lets go to date of you shall see delaney shes at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange for a side show see put this into context for us how significant are these drops. We havent seen this level of panic in this level of volatility and markets really since the financial crisis here in frankfurt the docs is down more than 12 percent this week the Dow Jones Industrial average had its worst one day point loss in history were talking about trillions of dollars that are being wiped off of Global Markets here and a lot of investors say that given the level of uncertainty and the level of unpredictability with this virus these routes could really continue to spin it to us i mean why exactly is this panic being caused by a group of voters. Well if you think about a Global Pandemic that could really impact every part of the Global Economy so if you think about people and their work people could not be able to go to work factories could stop producing consumers could stop spending back could really have a significant Financial Impact on the worlds companies that are already here in europe and in the u. S. Have been struggling with the quarantine measures that were put in place in china that really. Cut sales for a lot of a lot of companies abroad but it also boiled their supply chain so there are already circling without Financial Impact and now theyre facing the same risk and their home countries so i think thats creating a lot of fear but we also came into this week with a lot of complacency from Global Investors a lot of Market Participants really thought that the disease would be contained to china and now theyre having to really reconsider their share of their exposure to Global Markets so could we be looking at a global recession. A lot of economists are saying that could be in the cards the Global Economy was already on the project will ground the ground coming into this especially here in europe italy germany were on the brink of recession this could really. Them are pretty ads. A lot of people are expecting policymakers Central Banks to step in but theres really only so much that that could do its really more of a bandaid on this issue. Delineate the Frankfurt Stock Exchange thank you. Now china has perhaps the most advanced system of censorship in the world the internet and news media are tightly controlled but there is widespread anger over the governments attempts to suppress warnings about the corona Virus Outbreak and then cover up the death of the doctor behind those warnings did as much as putting a spoke to one activist whos put his personal freedom at risk to take the government to task over it it is of course approval cation few people in china would dare to walk around with a who did openly demanding freedom of speech yet since the outbreak of the coronavirus would ya is far from alone in taking issue with chinas censorship. I think in the whole world you wont find a better example of an example thats happening here and now and concern so many people if the communist party and state media had not tried to cover up the outbreak we would not be suffering like this. Who has signed an open letter by some 700 citizens demanding freedom of speech the letter was drafted after the death of when young a doctor who warned other Health Care Professionals in chat groups about the disease and was silenced by the police later he died of the virus his death triggered an outcry on social media and led to demands for him and to censorship the police made him sign a pledge not to talk about the disease again a copy is circulating on the internet to get. Cottle who remember him who are posting demands for freedom of speech on social media see themselves and lee went beyond. They say i would have done the same i would have signed and kept silent and now we are seeing this huge crisis so remembering him has become an act of resistance. She said of god i took. Speaking up is not without risk for whom he has spent 4 years in prison and has been warned repeatedly that he might be sent back any time most likely for many years who is suffering from Liver Disease and thinks he might not survive another sentence. So you know they also told your parents are already 83 years old they are in poor health so if you go to prison again your whole family will perish. But who has decided not to comply he is under constant Surveillance Police guard the entrance to his apartment and he had to sneak away from them to meet. The doctors are saying when there are many people around you can take off the mask. I want to take a deep breath. Who is a marathon runner but recently has been mostly staying in people are advised to stay at home in some cities they even forbid him to leave their houses after signing the letter was confined to his apartment by the police now the restrictions have been eased but he never knows whether the next day he will be allowed to go out again. June its been quite a while more than 40 days its so depressing for you most people have never experienced this suddenly theyre experiencing something we dissidents have known for a long time just bakes parents what it means to be lost at home and youre not able to go out at all. So now he hopes to get back to regular training when things get back to normal he wants to run another marathon. And since filming that report was my virginia we have heard that the activist who is now back under house arrest. Now to some other stories making news around the world one of hong kongs most high profile entrepreneurs has been arrested on charges of Illegal Assembly and intimidation the prodemocracy media tycoon jimmy lee is accused of taking part in a band antigovernment march that took place in august to veterans prodemocracy activists were also arrested. And tunisias new government has been sworn in after winning a vote of confidence in parliament the backing for Prime Minister and he is fox cabinet and more than 4 months of political wrangling since the election the coalition includes parties from across the political spectrum but continues to disagree on major policy issues.
