York mayor Michael Bloomberg comes under attack plus. On the. Northwest one story coming up. With your sports. Always i can say i support the. Going to their. Cities managed to stay at the club regardless of the outcome of an appeal against a 2 year ban from the Champions League. Ok we start this news hour in germany where the shooting death of at least 9 people is being investigated as a far right attack a lone gunman opened fire on 2 shisha cafes in the western city of or near frankfurt on wednesday night some of the victims are believed to be kurdish the 43 year old suspect was later found dead in his home the police say theyve also found the body of the suspects mother at the house lets go live now to berlin and our correspondent there dominic what else do we know. We know that this man the weapon that the man had was legally owned he was a a marksman or he had a sporting license to have the weapon concerned and that as was being said that he visited these 2 different she should bars gained entry to them and then opened fire indiscriminately once inside then getting out of each place by his car and and then driving back to his house where he took the life of his own mother a 72 year old woman and then took his own life the authorities have been quick to respond to this politically at least the interior minister of the states in the state concerned that the state of head has said that 1st analysis of the mans web site of his home pages suggested strongly that he have a far right tendency and they are working along the impression there the lines of inquiry going in that direction that a propensity to far right violence might be the motivation of this man had to carry out his acts the interesting thing also to say is that federal prosecutors have taken over the prosecution of this case in so far as they can clearly because the suspect is now deceased and that suggests that there is more to this than meets the eye that indeed they strongly believe that a far right motive is behind these of these attacks but at the moment dominic it appears as if most of the victims were of kurdish origin. Yes thats a line of inquiry certainly that is being appeared in several different newspapers different news outlets saying that they understand they believe that several of those who were targeted were of kurdish origin that has not been confirmed per se by the or thorough sees there have been News Conferences so far this morning clearly we expect there to be further such News Conferences later in the day there is apparently going to be some sort of Memorial Service at some point later in the day but lets also clear to the matter at hand this issue of far right violence and the tendency that there has been because whats happened now if this is such attendance at such an act of an attack then it is part of a series of such attacks or planned attacks that have taken place in germany in the course of the last year or 2 years just last friday Police Arrested 12 people in eastern germany on suspicion that they were in the initial stages of potentially planning violent acts then of course last autumn there was the shooting outside a synagogue in the eastern german city of halle or for which a 27 year old man is currently standing trial the murder of 2 people and in western germany in the early summer of last year the christian democrat mayor of a town valley whod been associated with the refugees are Welcome Campaign while he was targeted and shot dead by a man who turned out to be linked to quite strongly with the far right in germany so if as i say if the lines of inquiry that the officials the authorities are pursuing do turn out to point in that direction this is not an isolated incident and it is something which points to a tendency that has been growing in this country now for some time dominic thanks very much. South korea has reported its 1st deaths from the Coronavirus Infection theres been a spike in the number of cases in the last 24 hours that brings the total to 104. 00 now the majority are in the city of days youll get 2500000 people have been urged by the mayor there to stay inside that outbreak has been traced to a Church Congregation japans government is defending its handling of infections on the diamond princess ship new york one hummer the vessel has been in quarantine since early this month in that time the number of confirmed cases on board has risen to more than 602 elderly passengers died after being taken to hospital and china has changed how its reporting cases of the virus thats led to a significant drop in the reported number of new infections there were 394 on wednesday down from almost 1900 the day before. Mcbride is a yokohama port and well have more from him in just a moment 1st lets go to beijing and our correspondent there katrina you katrina whats your reading of whats going on in south korea. Well south korea has announced its 1st deaths and theyve had a massive spike in numbers in the last 2048 hours 70 new cases have been declared there bringing the total to about 104. 00 now this woman who died were getting some more information but as far as we know shes an elderly woman who died in hospital and she may have just caught that disease inside the hospital so it should have may have been human to human transmission now as you mentioned earlier the cluster of cases in south korea seems to center around the city of they go which has about 2500000 people in terms of its population and the clusters specifically seem ceridian a inside this particular church there appears to be in a woman in his sixtys who is the who is the reported super spreader who is responsible of puff of passing on the crown of our is to many of the confirmed cases in south korea now in the past few hours the mayor of daegu has come out and said that this is an unprecedented crisis for the city telling people to stay indoors public kindergartens and libraries and other public gathering places have been closed and school may delay its opening because of this so many much of daegu city now resembles many chinese cities hardly anybody on the street people indoors and even advised inside when mosques indoors and we do expect some more tight measures to prevent the outbreak of the current virus or prevent the spread of the current virus in south korea over the next few days and as to the impacts of the virus potentially in china is there a sense there in be jeanne that the authorities are done playing the rates of infection whether its going up or going because clearly they do not want it to be seen to be getting to those big conurbations big cities like beijing and shanghai. Thats right its kind of this dual kind of the messaging were getting from the government on one hand weve seen a change in the screening standards for corona virus cases so that number has dropped drastically about 20000 now and were also seeing lower cases of the current virus reported outside of who bay province and this is all playing into what the government wants to say to the public because theyre quite keen to get people back into the office they want to get the economy moving again theyre really worried about the Economic Impact of this coronavirus but at the same time in cities like beijing and shanghai were seeing much tighter measures because the authorities here are concerned about the millions of people streaming back into the cities getting on public transport getting on the roads and theyre worried because of course beijing is the capital its the control center of the city in the last thing they want to see is an outbreak in beijing itself so over the past few days weve actually seen a tightening of measures in the city in beijing for example if youre coming back into the city from overseas or from another part of china youre supposed to isolate in self koren in your apartment for at least true weeks everywhere you go in the city be a restaurant or an office or a residential compound youre going to have your temperature checked and noted and for many residential compounds are not allowed to entertain any guess youre not allowed inside unless you have an express reason to be there for living there or for work and for many restaurants there it actually telling the public that theyre not accepting groups of more than 3 people at a particular restaurant sort of thing is still far from ordinary life here in beijing and definitely the chinese battle Chinese Government is still in the middle of the battle to fight the spread of this coronavirus katrina thanks very much ok from china to japan my colleague Robert Mcbride so rob weve got 600 infections 2 people have died and yet the authorities there are saying some people can leave the ship and go home. Thats right it is a very mixed picture here and certainly the news of these 2 deaths have raised concerns about just what the conditions are like onboard this ship and about the process to get people off it weve heard from Health Ministry officials more details about the victims they are a man and a woman both in their eightys they both became sick on board the ship about the same time about a week ago they were found to have high fever which refused to go down they were getting sick they were taken off this vessel as other people have been taken to hospitals for profit on shore conditions deteriorated breathing difficulties and then confirmation today thursday that both have passed away it has to be said that the coronavirus we know people in the older you are the more susceptible you are the more vulnerable you are but nonetheless has added a sense of urgency i think for the countries who still have nationals onboard this ship who are making a range of wants to get them home again get them off this ship and also of course for the people on board this ship to get off the end of whats been the 2nd day of this disembarkation process. Quarantine behind them passengers from the diamond princess have been disembarking in the hundreds. Many of them taken by bus to the middle of yokohama with mixed emotions about their shared ordeal cardew mother every day i would worry that i was going to test positive. Believe the movement when the number of people getting infected spiked we knew they were sick in your infections so i was afraid to leave my cabin and then i couldnt and as i knew the crew members did very well so i was grateful to them. The passengers were then allowed to continue their Journeys Home sharing public transport with fellow japanese who have mixed emotions of their own causes your good world i feel so sorry for them its a good idea to relace them theyre going to get sick that will begin with Foreign Countries say their quarantine the people for a certain time so i want to plan to do the same. The confirmed deaths of 2 elderly passengers have raised concerns for those still on board and for foreign governments who are still arranging to fly home their citizens but insisting they undergo further quarantine still japan is standing by its decision to end the quarantine of the cruise ship you were in to you could at least of us are doing the ship does not compare to a hospital we are working there with temporary measures we have a basic standard but various issues there that pointed out every day we keep correcting these issues on a daily basis with cases being reported across japan this outbreak is causing increased disruption Public Events have been scaled back or canceled including an annual Birthday Celebration for the emperor and there are growing fears if this goes on about the possible impact on the upcoming summer olympics in tokyo. A passing cruise liner sounds its horn in a show of support for the diamond princess for japan finally resolving this crisis is a priority and it knows the world is watching. It has to be borne in mind that of all the. People who have been confirmed to be carrying the virus who have been infected a good number of them have had very mild symptoms or indeed havent shown any symptoms of cough or fever at all but its also worth bearing in mind that with the spread of the disease throughout the ship of all of the thousands of people who came on board all of those weeks ago now roughly around one in 6 despite all of the precautions despite the quarantine have gradually been infected which is a pretty grim race you were up many things lets talk Mary Louise Mclaws shes the World Health Organization advisor and a professor of epidemiology at the university of New South Wales she joins us from sydney welcome to the new here on aljazeera were talking south korea china japan at the frontline of the fight against the coronavirus what do you make of her the authorities in those countries are handling this. Look at the last meeting that we had and the face to face meeting for the roadmap for the current virus we were reminded to always include thinks about a thing of who to be the epidemiology the Infection Control back since inception and what concerns me is that as an epidemiologist we really value quarantining its a very effective method of trying to put holds to an outbreak however it has to be done very ethnically and very safely and you dont put a lot of susceptible people together and hope that they are going to remain. An infected without an awful lot of education of those the susceptible and also read out very very rigorous cleaning of high touch areas so i am concerned about why one in 6 as you quarter that have acquired. Co the 19 while they were under quarantine the now some of them may have been incubating before just before they were quarantined however a lot of them may not have been so really very we really cant put people in quarantine unless we keep them safe why is it therefore if youve got that right and of course you have why is it therefore that the authorities are going so far but not going further it seems to me that what youre actually doing then is turning the ship into a massive breeding chamber and if the authorities in beijing for example or south korea telling people to self quarantine with their families then youre turning their apartments or their houses into a big petri dish. Look its very difficult because humans are like the contact of a human being so its very difficult to put them in quarantining by themselves and some families do need to be together the other problem is so im sounding very critical of the ship and certainly i would be very concerned about their big cleaning methods they teaching them how to use a mask properly with clean hands how to take the mask off and have a new mask every time they have to wear a mask and to keep the passageways which are sometimes a little stuffy or internal cap and they have to be all very clean but when we ask people to stay at home. Its its probably the kindest place because theyre very familiar there. But we still need to teach them how to disinfect and rigorously clean bathrooms and high touch areas is one of them is incubating and now one of your reporters mentioned that the majority of cases a mild and thats what is coming out from the doctor and china that 80 percent of mild but whats also coming out recently is that the period of infectivity saved to be much sooner than it was in sars so people are mild but also infectious very early on so it could also be a driver for a lot of the infection of either clusters in families and clusters on ships as well you mentioned sars there in effect it was Mother Nature that did for sars because saw us as a virus didnt like the way the weather developed around and in those sars related countries could this happen could that happen with the corona virus. Well look out i was very fortunate to have a look at the doctor and find out what was going on in beijing and in hong kong and both countries didnt amazing job trying to put in place Infection Control measures but Mother Nature also played a part so our. Scientists did a study in the oratory to find that some didnt much like wall weather or increase humidity so as soon as they start to become may in 2003 the numbers started dropping so it could have been a combination of both excellent Infection Control but also Mother Nature helping as well. Although i dont want to reassure in the Climate Change issue happening in china why no really hopes that the temp the temperature will start to increase so that they can be helped along with this massive challenge that they have ok Mary Louise Mclaws in australia thank you very much thank you. Lots more still to come for you here on the news hour including nearly a 1000000 syrians trapped in the u. N. Is warning of a humanitarian crisis in syria raising by the day.
