Where Syrian Refugees are taking ever more dangerous risks to reach europe. And billionaire Mike Bloomberg endorses Joe Bidens White house bid to bring out the race. My. Hello there an emergency has been declared in the u. S. State of california for corona virus has been a rise in cases there and the 1st fatality a 71 year old man had recently returned from a cruise that ship the grand princess is now being held off californias coast where thousands of people still on board she has returned see reports on how californian authorities and i are trying to determine if other passengers are infected. This cruise ship appears to be a potentially another major vector for the coronavirus to spread this man who was elderly had Underlying Health problems which is what we often see in people who die from the coronavirus but he was all in this ship and he does some bug having already felt symptoms off the coronavirus he went home and finally he called my mom one got help got tested was tested positive but that died at least one other person from that same cruise ship who also disembarked is potentially is presumptively thought to have the current virus but i want him to the other 2500 people who got off the cruise ship at the same time as these 2 people so clearly authorities are concerned as to where those folks are according to the california governor at least half come from california where we didnt explicitly connected to the state of emergency but clearly these are concerns of the californians and now that cruise ship is still is now been parked outside off the coast of california affectively in quarantine because 60 people or so from that original crew stayed on the boat and then they were joined by another 2500. 00 passengers and then went off on a cruise to hawaii so clearly theres lots of potential there for this to be a vector of for the credit virus tests are now being added lifted onto that ship so that people can be tested its not being allowed to to to. To reach ports in San Francisco for the moment but these seem to be connected to that statement by the governor and governor newsome that a state of emergency has been declared that means he gets to get lots of emergency funding its also to make sure that the price gouging concert that they can get more readily available supplies they can get more Health Workers from out of state but this is what the governor had to say we have a number of passengers and crew members that develop symptoms on this cruise. Ship grand princess cruise ship as a consequence we are going to be flying testing kits to the cruise ship so that plenty of questions on california as to where those others from that cruise ship are currently now and clearly the california governor he says that tried the administration is trying to reach them. U. S. Politicians are backing an 8300000000. 00 package to comb the coronavirus is expected to pass the senate and be signed off by President Donald Trump most of the money will go to agencies dealing directly with the outbreak.

Thats right hala i mean for instance india now has 29 these are new cases its very worrying its a sect worlds 2nd most populous nation behind china and the doesnt have to go back to your question of why it doesnt have the same kind of governments that can impose directives and measures and enforce them immediately like china can and thats basically why china is men managed to contain it spread of the virus and if you look at japan thats had its biggest jump in a day it now has 36 meanwhile south korea its the 2nd most infected or stricken coronavirus stricken country behind china that also had a large number of cases on wednesday that was 438 and as of today as of right now just from today a burn 134 new cases now that is very worrying because while china has managed to maintain and lower the rate of its infections it seems other countries are now struggling to contain their rate of infections now the ones in south korea originated from china comes from most of the cases are in a city called daegu from a religious group that had traveled to one in the early days of the wars virus and then brought it back to korea so that is what south korea is struggling with but as you said enter a verse or china is now trying to keep people or carriers of that virus out of china instead with the measures ok devika bell and that life for us in hong kong thank you.
