world today province the epicenter is facing a severe medical situation according to an official the military has been deployed to the province which is urgently appealing for more supplies such as mosques and protective suits with the city where the outbreak began is banning all non-essential vehicles starting on monday a doctor treating patients in who bay has become the latest victim of the virus well the doctors death brings the total number of those killed to 42 with close to 1300 others infected in china malaysia is the latest countries to report the virus infections of also reached europe with 3 patients confirmed in france in an effort to contain its spread the chinese government has expanded its travel restrictions now thanks to some 40000000 people we're covering the outbreak from all angles french officials have confirmed 3 cases of the coronavirus there we have to touch a bottle standing by for us in paris adrian brown is live for us in hong kong which is just to clear the health emergency but 1st let's go to scott hyla who is in beijing scott chinese new year celebrations going ahead despite the threat from this corona virus but they will be muted to say the least this year. absolutely yes and we've been to a couple of parks in here on the streets here in beijing and it's a very very quiet day this would normally be a time when people would come out they did their spending time with their families but they would come out for these festivals and in fairs that normally would be held at the parks and around here the capital beijing but that is not happening today here it's not happening across the country as well obviously because of the concern of this coronavirus being spread even further and what's raising part of that concern is that there are indications strong indications that people can be asymptomatic yet still carrying this coronavirus another words so it might be carrying it in unwillingly pass it on to others before they know they actually have it so obviously taking every precaution here also in beijing the subway cars are being disinfected almost every hour movie theaters have been shut so there's a lot of things going on to try to prevent the further spread of this virus but as you alluded to adrian that but the big concern is what about those people that possibly got out before all these restrictions were put in that particular out of the who bay province down in central china a centralized medical observation has been announced what's that all about. you know that's going to be people who province down in the south province had taken the step to actually watch people medically observe people who had just visited the area will han city and have returned to this province or travel to this province they're going to be under observation even though they haven't have any indication symptoms or testing them to prove that they do have the virus but they're going to be monitored they say for about 2 needs 2 weeks now it's interesting we spoke with. father husband in move on and just to get kind of an idea of what it's like inside that city he said you know things are are ok so far they still have enough food but the problem is he's worried about he's the only one that's going out onto the streets for his family to get more rice he's worried about infecting his family if he does happen to get it when he goes out to get supplies he said he's been able to. through a smartphone app an online order supplies to be brought to his apartment but he's worried that that that's going to delay even further because now he's saying it takes $2.00 to $3.00 days to get some supplies so he's going to have to go out probably before that he's a very concerned about bringing the virus back into his family on a serious call hardly reporting live from beijing let's go to hong kong i was there as a dream brown is that adrian tell us more about kerry lamb's announcement of this health emergency that. well adrian carey lamb arrived back in hong kong early on saturday morning and then a few hours later she called a media conference to announce the fact that she was raising the crisis level here in hong kong to the emergency category she also outlined a raft of measures that the government would now take to try in her words to slow the spread of this far as among the things that she is now calling for and insisting on is that all visitors coming from the chinese mainland will have to fill in public health decorations people providing false information will be fined up to $650.00 u s dollars of course this for this to work it's going to rely on the honesty of people filling in those firms to really state where they've been in china especially if they've been too high and she's going to extend the school holidays from now until the middle of february and also she wanted to send out i think a message on the message was this the health of the whole for hong kong people is absolutely paramount let's hear more of what she had to say. hop on when you get to our responses breached imagine sea level i will personally chadha into department to meetings and we have a command center so we can get the views from the experts and come up with strategies and initiatives when we deal with this public health event i think you'll understand that we need to be quick in making decisions then we can make decisions for the society of hong kong. well of course adrian there is a rather dark irony to this chinese new year because chinese people are celebrating the year of the rat a creature of course that is synonymous with plague and pestilence you know the mood here rather like beijing where scott is is pretty subdued it's very flat it has to be said there is no panic but there is a deepening sense of unease and that arny's of course has now been officially underscored by the comments that came from kerry earlier that we now are in an emergency stage with this virus. we've also been hearing today from one of hong kong's leading micro by all the just the reason why his words matter is he was at the forefront of the efforts to contain the sols outbreak in 2003 which killed $300.00 people here in hong kong he says that this virus has an 83 percent attack create that sounds pretty scary he also wants everyone in hong kong going out in public to wear face mask and he says the next few days are going to be absolutely crucial the the window the of the window of opportunity to try to contain this is getting smaller and smaller i was there as a green brown live in hong kong let's go to paris which is there is not such a buck or is there so the french health minister has confirmed that there are now cases in france what more do we know. yes and yes so the french health minister confirming the fact that there are 3 cases confirmed of the kora virus coronavirus i should say in france now she says that the cases are all people who came from china there are 2 people who've been hospitalized in paris and one in the southwestern city of bordeaux we don't know a lot about these patients we have though a few more details about the one in bordeaux it is apparently a 48 year old man who was at home he called the doctor because he was having these flu like symptoms when the doctor came he ascertained that this man had actually traveled from one city the epicenter of this virus where it all began and then he come through the netherlands on his way to france now that point of course the doc to raise the alarm and the patient was immediately hospitalized and what the french health minister says is that it is likely that there are other cases in france they are surveying all the people that these 3 patients came in contact with very carefully and she says that the reason perhaps that these cases have been confirmed in france isn't necessarily because they are elsewhere in europe but because these are the 1st confirmed cases in europe it's more a question she said the french authorities have been very fast to assess and test the coronavirus and then announce the fact that these cases have been found so what actions of french health authorities taking no. well the french health minister is saying that french health authorities of course are going to be a woman and she's also calling on anyone in the french public if they are feeling the symptoms these flu like symptoms to immediately go and have them checked out she has also said that each day the french health ministry will be updating the public giving a public announcement telling them exactly what the situation is that people should be alarmed but they should be extremely vigilant the had been calls for the borders to be closed for people coming in from china perhaps to be prevented by the french health minister says that that is simply impossible in this global eyes world but of course vigilance is the kid out of there as potential but alive in paris natasha many thanks matt because it is an american living and will han he joins us now via skype from there will of course the epicenter of this virus how is a lockdown in the city affecting daily life their. daily life has come to a halt everybody goes outside the only goes to the market to get their food and they go back inside everybody wears a mask everybody stays clean and we use a cemetery devices and and everybody's watching everything just the streets are empty protecting yourself i suppose you it's by staying indoors is that right i stay indoors and do my work on the computer but i'm also very carefully like many other people watching the news of watching the updates we know that they're building a 1000. bed but still a 3 in another part of han as an emergency facility they're going to have an image that they were in so we're looking forward to making sure they can contain the virus as soon as possible the chinese government's doing the best they possibly can we know is there a sense of a fear of panic and we're one. no there's not a sense of panic there's just a sense of unease and everybody wants to see this through if anything i see a lot of my chinese counterparts in colleagues. you know on the on the offensive want to make sure only the best thank you and pass the word things are going to get better we're all trying to keep ok not really good to talk to many thanks indeed for being with us today leisure research of the johns hopkins university in the us a mapping out the global spread of the virus the bright orange dots the you're about see here. where cases have been confirmed in china the majority of those in who bay province with the outbreak was 1st reported transportation has been shut down at least 13 cities in china around the world that been confirmed cases in southeast asia a strain the u.s. and now in europe emmanuelle couple bianco is director of health and care for the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies he joins us now via skype from geneva. is a chinese authorities and indeed authorities all over the world we talked about kerry lamb in hong kong and the emergency measures that putting into place there are they doing the right thing to contain this virus. i think of the outdoor use all over the walls are doing all they can to contain the virus and that means 1st of all being extremely transparent on the information something that has been done extremely well from from the government of china from the very beginning is setting those mechanisms to detect cases and to treat cases when not really then to find one important element east to managing the message or any providing the right messages through to people in the void spread of and as we heard just a few seconds ago it seems that the situation is a situation where all the nice within the population but not all these is absolutely free critical and of course for those countries outside china what is extremely important now is to invest in he's getting ready having the contingency plan ready in case the virus spreads through those countries put this into some sort of context for us emanuel 42 people have died so far close to 1300 others have been sickened in. the average flu season each year how many people die of the flu. well we have numbers at the moment are fairly normal in terms of all the people effected in people dying compared to what would be a number of. number of people infected enough to you know a few year that is not a reason to say this is. something that we shouldn't be concerned about because the evolution of the. outbreak is happening and we are still in the early early stages so if we look back at one not one week ago we are only a few cases 4050 cases and one or 2 deaths these in all in china one we can tell 1300 cases in 13 countries 41 people died of that in terms so the the the this is the early stages so we need to follow these very closely we need to put. in place measures to avoid the need for the spread of the disease and we need to inform the public about the big risks without exaggerating them and i think they will these doing to be some job in the right information out national authorities are really central and partners like the red cross red crescent societies a lot of the world are there to provide support to ensure that the population he's reading for and not in as a panic because to do all of these out to want to do an accent of the red cross societies. involved in an outbreak such of this what's what's the level of preparedness and what is it that but they will be doing. we know we have around 13000000 volunteers all over the world and they are critical individuals like you know. for 10 messages for prevention all the mission of the disease anyone in countries like. china lake in japan we are already activating at least these volunteers more on person to person within communities we're also activating our response who used social media there a process has hospitals in some countries that are you know on a state of a higher alert for so for management of patients we manage all lines for response and we are ready to provide services. water and food and anything else if the situation requires but i did moment we are focusing will force our support to do countries that have been affected particularly china so working the government health authorities there for the rest we are preparing and getting all of our volunteers and our systems ready in case of the outbreak has spread further and there is a more need or engagement good stocks many thanks to you for being with us mario couple bianco the director of health for the instructional federation of red cross red crescent societies. thank you the world health organization says that while this virus is a crisis for china it has not declared a global health emergency for that to happen the world health organization has to take into consideration the risks to human health and the international spread of a virus it also needs to determine whether local officials have the resources to contain an outbreak in this case chinese authorities have taken measures that include restricting public transportation and public screening of people at risk but if the world health organization does decide that this is a global health emergency it will allocate resources to china and recommend preventative measures. this is that he was from his era still to come more than 18 years after 911 the alleged mastermind of the attacks appear in court . the

epicenter was in a town about 4000 of about 4000 people in the sponsorship populated province of that's around 700 kilometers east of the capital ankara. and. this was the moment the earthquake struck interrupting this live broadcast many people run outdoors for safety those with damaged homes are still afraid to return 007 costello is in a lousy what's the situation that sent him. and grin we are in the city center of alaska and we are in front of a building collapse which got the rest 8 of last night this building right behind me it's a 2 block building and current the there are at least 14 people we are told who are waiting to be rescued by the search and rescue teams people have gathered around the building there trying to hear good news about their family members or friends let me say the casualty the number of the casualties are not very high but there is also one more building in inside the city center and currently there are some dozens of people being stuck under that building. 5 buildings collapsed and $25.00 buildings collapsed in malata but the loss of lives is more in that as the buildings are current made of concrete not like the ones in ellison made of brick stones but turkish authorities how this all the disaster management agency personnel here n.g.o.s are this year trying to rescue people and people are afraid some of them spent the night in their cars some of them outside and the weather is very cold but i must say it is the fickle to figure out how many buildings are actually damaged which should be reported into the agencies to be demolished by the authorities but let me say in here in front of this rubble people are waiting and this waiting is long. people are impatient to see their loved ones being out of these rebels behind us what are people telling you sort of about the moment the earthquake struck on friday. well this was a very strong earthquake 6.8 and if people felt it here in the immediate cities we know people felt it in lebanon in

strongest fault line and all those geologist is say that they were all already expecting a 7.0 magnitude earthquake it was late but they say thank god this happened 6.8 magnitude earthquake happened and finally old danger is gone this is it there are after shocks but there is no major risk awaiting for these cities this is what the geologists have been telling since yesterday but of course people when we speak to them they said they were very afraid and everybody is curious about their family members living in the surrounding neighborhoods or in the surrounding cities but let me say this is just so waiting for now people are waiting are waiting to hear good news but the weather conditions as i said a few minutes ago it is the fickle currently there is some but it's one degrees and at night it's going to minus and this will be some difficult days for. the residents living here because most of them will be afraid to go inside their homes even though the buildings are staying where
