Ovl stock markets and Subsaharan Africa are the latest to feel the impact of the corona Virus Outbreak is the threat continues to spread way beyond china on friday china did report its lowest number of new infections in over a month the number of cases though in south korea thats risen to more than 2000 the u. S. Dow jones index has recorded its biggest one day drop ever while taking his key index plus plunged more than 3 percent on opening and then theres nigeria in lagos theres been the 1st confirmed case of the virus making it the 1st in Subsaharan Africa meanwhile in iran one of the Vice President s has been diagnosed with the virus weve been seeing to katrina you know she is live for us in beijing lets start off with those numbers is rather worrying numbers coming from south korea katrina. Thats right in recent hours we had 256. 00 new cases added to that toll making it more than 2000 there in south korea which is the largest epidemic outside of china i think many people in south korea are scratching their heads how the situation could happen so quickly because we have to remember at the beginning of february there were only true dozen cases or so in president when julian said at that time that he was confident that this would disappear very quickly and that obviously has not been the case because of this were seeing a lot of public anger directly directed an interior directions 1st and one day and in his administration with opposition members saying that hes been incompetent accusing him of mishandling the situation of not closing south koreas borders to china quickly enough because he was reluctant to offend china and theres also a lot of anger directed at this particular Church Called the church of jesus which is its sect in south korea and more than half of these 2000 more than 2000 cases are members of this particular church and theres been a lot of public outrage directed at this church saying that the members did ministration of the church they were not cooperating very well with authorities at the beginning that they were not forthcoming with this information and certainly the mare of the city digger which is the city most affected has come out recently and said that he will take legal action against this church for possibly violating infectious control laws there in south korea. And thats in stark contrast them to those numbers coming out of china which on the face of it quite encouraging. Thats right we seem to be having a positive picture here in china in the last 24 hours we had 327. 00 new cases which is lower from yesterday and outside of who be a problem at the epicenter of the outbreak there have been only 9 cases reported so here in china its not business as usual but many people are starting to go back to work there are more peoples in the city they say back to work not back to funds that people are still by and large staying home except to go into the office and people are telling their attention to the Economic Impact of this virus there have been a lot of concerns that a lot of companies are shedding jobs and this is also the year that china is supposed to achieve its Poverty Alleviation deadline and how can it do that a lot of questions have been raised as to how that can happen if companies are now shedding jobs of people who need it for people who need those jobs the most so the government has come out just in the last few hours and said that its encouraging local governments to give subsidies to people who may have lost their jobs its saying to companies that they need to prioritize lower socioeconomic workers and make sure that they are getting back to work so that we do have people moving on looking at what are the longer term impacts of this coronavirus here in china certainly its going to hit the economy hard at the same time many people are saying when can this really go back to normal schools are still out for example and as well china did post bone earlier this week its National Peoples congress which is the most important political event here in china all right katrina thank you for that katrina you there live in beijing.

Now there been a few examples in the past of new viruses being declared a Global Pandemic so far this time though the show the World Health Organization has stopped short of doing that for the new coronavirus and some a criticizing that decision saying that the w. H. O. Is being too cautious shelagh bellis experience. There is no one definition for a pandemic the World Health Organization scrapped its criteria 10 years ago after the h one n one outbreak now its more subjective anybody mc is when a new disease spreads from person to person in a community or region a pen dimmick is when that spreads around the world no one more than 50 countries coronavirus or coded 19 is increasingly global and consuming sprayed with more than 82000 and fictions in less than 2 months. Yet the w. H. O. Says it still doesnt meet the standard for a pandemic. Our message continues to be that this virus has. No country should assume it wouldnt get cases that could be a fight that mystic and quite literally this virus does not respect borders. The tell you a choice is countries should be in a phase of preparedness for a possible pandemic if one was declared governments would have to roll out a full scale response with mobilization down to local level and distribution of personal protective equipment antivirals and other medical supplies its costly and in 2009 the last time the w. H. O. Declared a pandemic some countries criticized the move for burdening them unnecessarily w. H. O. When others dont like to use the word pandemic but by the classical definition were really teetering very very close to that because there are a number of countries outside of china there do have a considerable number of cases the costs of a moderate to severe pandemic a high the world bank puts it at nearly 570000000000. 00 even without meeting the threshold coronavirus has shaken Financial Markets but the human cost is still low relative to past pandemics the 1900 spanish flu killed 50000000 people infected one 3rd of the worlds population the most recent pandemic swine flu in 2009 killed up 2575000 people coronavirus sits at 0. 5 percent of that the w.

Environmentalists are celebrating after a u. K. Court grounded plans for a 3rd runway at europes Busiest Airport expanding london heathrow was deemed in breach of britains Climate Change commitments under the 215. 00 Paris Agreement lawrence lee reports. That describe this is the most important environmental decision in a generation and so it was no surprise they were cheering 6 there seems no way back for the expansion of londons main airport for the foreseeable future but the judge said that the government had been given a notice to appeal so it doesnt a lot they are so where we go from here i dont think as a white black face wrote my message to the government is rather than tinkering or tweaking with plans for a 3rd runway abound in these plans because its quite clear there are serious consequences of a new runway on Climate Change on air quality or Noise Pollution on the road a real network but also the faulty of life of people live in the city. Expansion would have been vost destroying entire villages rerouting rivers as well as londons orbital motorway but it wasnt that the last days for the government and the airports it was the courts ruling that the governments a broken the law the crucial part of the ruling was of the government was found to be in breach of its international Climate Change obligations that not only means that heathrow now wont happen it also calls into question all sorts of other big Infrastructure Projects in Boris Johnsons postbreakfast in britain. And thats the much bigger issue raised by this ruling how do governments and industry balance their demands for continuous Economic Growth with their obligations to slow down Climate Change the politicians and leaders have got to say we really are serious about being a Global Trading nation in Great Britain because were going through the process of the moment and were seeing help capacity potentially moving elsewhere because were for what we do about that we grow it globally the spotlight is on the u. K. We have the Climate Summit in glasgow we have all of all vegas flying in here to discuss Climate Change so really the Prime Minister now needs to show leadership he needs to show that hes taking time and change seriously he needs to really rethink all of these high carbon Infrastructure Projects the next target in the sights of the environmentalists will be the governments plans for a 100000000000. 00 rail line from london to the north which is also loathed by communities in its path they will be cheering this ruling as well barnsley aljazeera london.
