A washington correspondent stuff and simons gives us this is cessna president addressed to the nation president saddam trumps address to the nation was the president s reaction to getting under steadily increasing pressure from all sides of the political spectrum america was waiting for President Trump to stop downplaying and under playing the serious threat of the coronavirus pandemic for and in the United States the president had to reassure americans that he understands the significance and seriousness of the coronavirus threat that he can lead the nation out of what experts say is going to get only worse in the United States more infections more cancellations of events and more significant changes to the normal life routine of americans all over the country now everybody expected typical self congratulatory remarks in his address but nobody had a travel ban from europe to the u. S. In the books and many questions remain unanswered as to the details and the specific procedures of this measure just one thing is a lot clearer President Trump seems to understand now that the coronavirus pandemic is looking to be a major problem for his presidency specifically when considering that he has to stand in a president ial election come november. The World Health Organization has declared the coronavirus a pandemic and accused governments of quote alarming levels of inaction the w. H. O. Says it hopes using the word pandemic will shock lethargic governments into pulling out all the stops one of the worst hit countries italy has announced another wave of restrictions now all shops except food stores and pharmacies will be closed to try to halt the spread the disease. A major airport him milan missing its travelers. A ghostly silence in the heart of rome. As italy surpasses 12000 coronavirus cases the government is tightening its restrictions. Now we are closing down all commercial activities except for grocery Stores Pharmacies and drug stores. Then if there is no need to run and buy food in supermarkets. Then initially. We will close shops. Pubs and restaurants. And. Other European Countries are struggling to avoid the same fate greece closed schools across the country and the czech government banned all public gatherings of 100. 00 or more people now the World Health Organization is warning that the spread of the respiratory illness also known as covered 19 has become a pandemic. Deeply concerned by the a lot of mean levels of spread and see very easy and maybe a lot of mean a level as well be an auction. We have that fota may have a system and that 19 can be contacted eyes as a pundit make. More than 90 percent of global cases are in 4 countries china italy iran and south korea but the corona virus continues to cross borders its why el salvador quarantined returning is from spain and announced it would ban all foreign visitors for the next 21 days in a bid to keep the virus out. But he. Is covering the story for us and joins us this morning good morning nina so double trump has ordered flights from Continental Europe to the u. S. To be stopped for 30 days how is that going down here in germany. Well he. Of course has announced that britain is not part of this ban which is interesting but of course in germany here its going to affect a lot of people in 2019 alone some 5600000 people flew to the u. S. From germany so thats a very drastic step and we must say that an e. U. Diplomat has told reuters that you were not informed about this decision by the u. S. President in advance so of course this is probably also not going to help the already strained relations the diplomatic relations between europe and the u. S. The head of the w. H. O. The World Health Organization hes calling for more Decisive Action in dealing with this crisis several countries have imposed travel restrictions can we expect more drastic steps to be taken in germany saying well you always have to remember that germany is a federal state that means those issues when it comes to health when it comes to education when it comes to decisions whether to close down schools or whether to impose travel bans it cetera or whether to cancel Mass Gatherings they are always taken at the regional level then not taken at the federal level so angle americal cant just go ahead and close down germany as a whole and in fact he doesnt intend to do so thats the message that were getting whenever we talk to politicians they have recommended to cancel Mass Gatherings of more than a 1000 people and some of germanys most affected regions have already implemented that ban and theyre calling on everybody to actually ask themselves do you really need to meet your friends in these drastic weeks but im glad america went to the media and actually addressed the public for the very 1st time in the crisis and maybe we can take a look at that. Appearances from the chancellor at such News Conferences are rare but merkel went on the offensive after weeks of holding back unlike the German Health minister beside her she hasnt visited any hospitals now she has stepped up to appeal to the public doesnt. Mean our solidarity our rationality and our compassion for one another are being put to the test i hope we pass this test. But the chancellor warned the crisis shouldnt lead to a europe in total isolation coexistent has to continue she said a remark echoed by the Health Minister who said it require discipline and that everyone would have to make some sacrifices. For this reason weve called for the cancellation of major events and changes in our daily routines. That means everyone has to do something for themselves and the society as a whole the same applies to businesses authorities and all of us. The message dont panic but the signal is clear the situation is serious the president of the Robert Koch Institute estimates that 2 thirds of the german population could become infected and that the number of serious cases will increase. Government offices mayors and hospitals have to prepare for more patients. Were at the beginning of this epidemic so they need to set up their plans and strategies to deal with as many of these patients as possible. Time is of the essence now the sooner the preparations are made the more effectively hospitals will be able to manage the surge in infections with their existing capacity. You know at that News Conference yesterday chancellor merkel herself pointed out in her own words that if things dont change 60 to 70 percent of the population could be infected by the corona virus how are people reacting to that i think it is beginning to dawn on germans that the virus really is here to stay for a long time there was a thought we dont really have high numbers so maybe its not as serious as in other countries but now people are beginning to change their behavior that made it very clear that the German Government is taking this issue very seriously indeed people are beginning to think about whether they really need to travel and then today for example the education ministers of all the regions they will discuss the topic of School Closes is that something that needs to be considered of course then the argument against that is that you would also have to keep parents at home who are potentially doctors nurses etc people the needed in germany hospitals the czech Prime Minister whose country shares a border with germany has accused the chancellor of spreading panic with her statement that i just described 60 to 70 percent of the company perhaps good of the country perhaps becoming infected what does that tell us about European Court nation in addressing this issue well i believe it tells us 2 things i think it tells us very clearly that one the german chancellor is a scientist herself shes a Firm Believer in experts opinions that is not something that can be said of some of the other european governments that we have in place at the moment so she actively consults fire or just she wants to hear the facts and statistics she wants to be prepared and then she believes its her duty to convey these messages to the public so that everybody feels informed and can draw conclusions from this that is one point in the 2nd point of course is that european can coordination. Absolutely needed and took part in a Video Conference between you 2 leaders on the topic. This week maybe this step came to late that european the European Union has now decided to coordinate its efforts but of course again its an issue that every country deals with at National Level for now in some countries have just not been as affected so of course the sense of urgency has not been that but that trying to improve that situation and the Health Ministers are going to talk to each other on a daily basis from now on in a thank you very much of course well keep following the story nina has our Political Correspondent and for all the latest on the coronavirus including information about what you can do if you think you might be infected please do visit our website at www dot com now lets take a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today students in chile have clashed with police in antigovernment protests the students were participating in a day of civil disobedience to mark the 2nd anniversary of president sebastian and yet or is entry into Office Wednesday marked 30 years since the end of dictatorship.

Former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and Sexual Assault the sentence was close to the maximum term of 29 years sought by prosecutors the announcement was greeted with loud cheers by women outside the new york courthouse where weinstein was sentenced. To Harvey Weinsteins accuses its an outcome few thought was possible. Attorney gloria own read says justice has been done for her clients this is what justice looks like 20 plus 3 years sentence handed down by judge burke this morning was just raced movie mogul who faced his final appearance in the same new york courtroom where he was convicted of rape and Sexual Assault against 2 women. Since his conviction last month the former head of mare max underwent hot surgery arriving at clarks in a wheelchair. Weinsteins lawyer is asked the judge to take his poor health as well as his age and Young Children into account and was scathing of the outcome. I mean i think we all know that sentence that was just handed down by this court was obscene that number was noxious there are murderers who will get out of court faster than Harvey Weinstein will. Spoke to the pressure of movements and the public weinstein has denied any wrongdoing and his lawyers plan to appeal the verdict prosecutors had sought a lengthy sentence given the foreman produces abuse spanning 4 decades and lack of remorse. Old read who represents accuser just a command part of a testimony outside court she said ive never felt vengeful and going into this initially i didnt feel anger.

Why lets get more now from entertainment journalist k. J. Matthews in los angeles k. J. We saw weinsteins lawyers reacting to the sentencing there any word on how weinstein himself is responding.

He absolutely is his lead lawyer said the doctor probably file an appeal to the sentence sometime in mid july and even the Los Angeles County District Attorney here in hollywood today tweeted that they have already begun the paperwork to file extradition charges to get him to be transferred to los santos to face the Sexual Assault charges you remember those Sexual Assault.
