A global stock sell off. Im Rebecca Ritters welcome to the Program Hundreds of refugees in turkey have been moving to the countrys borders with the e. U. After turkish officials threaten to allow them to cross into europe it comes off the dozens of turkish troops were killed in an airstrike by Syrian Government forces in the region of adlib turkey has recently been pressing european leaders to support its military campaign in Northern Syria the tensions are fueling fears of a revival of the 25th day migration crisis. Refugees slip under the border fence from turkey to greece when the Greek Security forces arrive some of them turn around and look for another place to get through. More and more people have been making their way towards the greek border since late thursday they want to cross into europe and career has made it clear that it wont prevent syrians from entering the european union. We heard the border is open we took off right away to come here just the. Turkish president. Decided to open the border late last night as an apparent response to an airstrike it kills 33 turkish soldiers in syrias province in recent months he repeatedly warns the e. U. That he will open his countrys western border to refugees if brussels didnt help anchor in its fighting. For weeks syrian troops loyal to president Bashar Al Assad have been attacking Turkish Backed rebels with Russian Support in response turkey sent thousands of Ground Troops to italy province theres been heavy fighting and since last year after thursdays syrian attack on the Turkish Military anchor our nato for a special session the head of nato has offered verbal backing to nato member ankara and has called for syria to exercise restraint we also call all russia to fully respect International Law because you have seen warning of civilian targets this latest escalation has again shown how quickly the war in syria spills across borders escalations quickly cause ripples far beyond them. Lets go straight over to data correspondent yulia han shes just arrived at the turkish great land border where a lot of people have been arriving here tell us whats going on down there right now. Well yes so many refugees have had it here during the day off if they had news reports that turkey would no longer stop refugees from trying to cross into europe now right behind me is the borders zone between taki where i am im greece on the other side so theres some kind of no mans land in between and this is where many refugees have gathered today right now its quite difficult to say how many people all there are in this area but ive spoken to turkish reporters whove been here during the day and they put the figure at 200 to 500 people interesting lee not too many Syrian Refugees and many people weve spoken to are actually from afghanistan or iraq and they just told as you know that they took a leap of faith after they heard the news that the borders to europe would be open they grab their belongings and they made their way here by buses some individually apparently also smugglers were involved only to learn that they will not be allowed in that they wont make it to europe so frustration here right now is high with many people who are hoping you know to cross into greece but now actually they they dont know what to do because they also dont want to go back to techie so it seems of the even though the turkish side does appear to be now open the greek side is still closed and theyre not still not able to let people through but yulia how have authorities been reacting to the arrival of the migrants there. Well the greek authorities have tighten Border Control today Security Forces here at this crossing where using tear gas to hold people back one afghan lady told us that she was actually beaten we can very 5 this claim but the greek authorities here have made it very clear to people that they wont let them in weve also heard from the. Greek Prime Minister who said illegal crosses illegal crossings wont be tolerated and greece will not bear the responsibility for actions other countries actions there in syria now these are harsh words of cause all of these all of the latest developments for the people here for the refugees who came here mean a huge amount of uncertainty many people dont know where to spend the night its already talk here its getting colder some people have been burning things to stay warm. And sounds like a dire situation down there on the border. On the turkish great border thanks very much the. World Health Organization says there is now a very high risk of the corona virus spreading globally warning it could reach most if not all countries in the world the Organization Says the increase in cases and countries affected is warring at least 57 countries or territories have reported cases of the virus a short while ago or thora has confirmed the 1st death of a british citizen a man who had been quarantined aboard a cruise ship anchored off japan south korea saying the shop rise in infections with more than 500. 00 new infections bringing the total there to more than 2300. 00 and nigeria has registered registered the 1st case of the virus in subsaharan africa. Lets take a closer look now at south korea where as we have seen infections have shot up sharply authorities there are struggling to keep the illness from rising further out of control over the virus are also putting a doubt now on the countrys pop music industry. Snaking around the block queuing up for face masks south korea has the highest number of coronavirus cases i cite Mainland China this store is packed with people trying to get their hands on masks nearby the streets are almost empty as the general public take precautions but he would show up to work for a Welfare Organization but it has shut its doors for the time being and says it will remain so until the corona Virus Outbreak has subsided so i have to find another place to work but im finding that difficult because of the outbreak because the. My university is forcing me to go home who ive only been here for a week so i mean better than nothing but id rather not go back one woman square here in the center of the south korean capital seoul usually functions as a hub of activity including cultural events and rallies but demonstrations and public gatherings here have been banned schools museums theaters and sports venues of all suspended operations as the government tries to stem the spread of covert 19 and that government is now coming under increasing pressure. And the cape scene is also taking a hit megastars b. T. S.

The country exports Entertainment Worldwide abroad to save koreans and people from other region countries say theyre facing discrimination as a result of the virus. I wish people around the world will come to realize that the problem is with the spread of the virus itself. And that it has nothing to do with asians in general. Public targets. Hospitals in south korea are stepping up their efforts to contain the virus as the outbreak continues to affect more and more countries around the world. And people are around the world are worried about the corona virus for obvious reasons many people have lots of questions about the best way to keep themselves and others safe we put some of the most important ones to virologist last shadow from the robert carr institute one of germanys most prestigious wrist Research Institutes how high is the mortality rate of the virus if you. Start with you it was a reported case its wrong to bar 2 to 3 percent but it may be lower because they are still cases undetected and this would always the number. Who is most at risk the other only people mainly and people with underlying conditions for example coronary Heart Disease diabetes mellitus. Cancer these uses and the lung disease as many. How do the symptoms develop usually it starts as a rather mild respirator a disease comparable to a common cold and this will go on in the most cases for one week or a little bit more than one because and 80 to 85 percent of the patients will recover them but there is a number that of cases that will have a 2nd face off disease and this is probably more severe and they may get a lung infection and pneumonia then in the 2nd phase of the disease but this is a minority of cases how can i protect myself covering you or your mouth or nose when you cough or sneeze but it was a tissue so always there to shoot wash your hands and if you dont have a case she would tissue youll see her elbow 2 to 2 nice and. Frequent hand washing as well very important and keep some distance from from your. From the people you talk to we dont recommend the use of a face mask in the usual daily living or in women you go out so theres no indication scientific indications that this is a useful measure should we consider sealing off cities to protect ourselves the 1st issue is what do you do with the people inside the blocked up city so you have to do Contact Tracing and separation of the patients from the front of the Healthy People even in the cities it is locked up 2nd point is that you have to have an idea when you would. Lock up off the city again so when there are contacts between cases and heads of people inside so called also need to hear. Theres a time for for there for lockup. From a scientific point of view has to start again so but you can separate the 2 from from the outside for weeks or months probably a lot more problems than you solve with such an emotional and well have more about the coronavirus and how its affecting Financial Markets coming up in the Business News straight after the show. Now to some of the other stories making news around the world muslims in indias capital new delhi held friday prayers under heavy security after a week of deadly violence the religious riots have claimed at least 38 lives russias broke out early this week over a new citizenship law thats widely viewed as anti muslim. The teenage climate activist gratitude bird has appeared at a rally in the inner city of bristol where she denounced politicians for failing her generation she told the rally attended by thousands that she would quote not be silenced while the world is on fire. But its over to the birla an International Film festival now with d. W. Correspondents im in s. F. And scott rocks for down at the red carpet. Gentleman its the last day youve seen or they attain competition films give us your predictions for who will get the golden bear. Hi rebecca yes my prediction i think will be the film from iran its called there is no evil its essentially for short films all dealing with the theme of the Death Penalty in the psychological toll it takes on irans executioners now thats by iranian filmmaker Mohammad Russell he is actually he wasnt able to make the premiere of the film because hes not about to leave iran and was even banned from making films but he did it anyway and i think the courage of the filmmaker combined with the important themes in this film and not to mention his great filmmaking style it might win over the jury here at the bit in oh yeah i think thats probably good a good pick but for me i go for another film i think it might be a sensation this year could be the 1st time in 20 years an american film wins the battle and im going for never or rarely sometimes always its a film by an american filmmaker lies a hit man and its a story about a 17 Year Old Girl who crosses state lines in order to get an abortion without her parents consent now that makes it sound like a political polemic but it definitely isnt instead its a really gentle touching film thats sort of quietly devastating i think a combination of political theme and it being an amazing movie and also being directed by a woman who put it over the edge coming tomorrow nights awards or looking forward to that i mean as if and Scott Ross Fred thanks very much.
