Ground. This is where the action is on the red carpet in downtown berlin were 2 films are having their premieres tonight including the much anticipated film 1st crowd ill have more on that soon. Im called aspen thanks for joining me the World Health Organization is warning that the window of opportunity to contain the covert 19 corona virus is narrowing the number of cases outside of china is still relatively low but new clusters of the virus have emerged in iran south korea and in italy raising fears now that the virus is spreading rapidly outside of china. This plane brought taiwanese evacuees harm from a quarantined cruise ship in japan hit by the corona virus. While their plane and all luggage get a thorough disinfection the evacuees will be isolated for another 2 weeks. These precautions are the new normal in the fight to contain the corona virus. In italy top officials met after the virus claimed its 1st victim in the country an elderly man in northern italy died after being hospitalized. It could on your town southeast of milan officials shut down schools and businesses local residents are worried that you dont send it back if they dont you didnt official order to close down all the shops and were following the order so were closing theres a lot of alarm and thats also worries me that you know that the scientists will tell that. Public events are banned and that includes Church Services the virus apparently spread in northern italy for a hospital and cafe. The World Health Organization warns that time might be running out to contain the virus. The cases we see in the rest of the world although the numbers are too small but the north to lean good to know to china. Although the window of opportunity is not all we need to contain the outbreak we still have a chance to contain it but were doing that we have to prepare at the same time put any evil into early to say because this outbreak could go anywhere. It could even be missy. The latest country to report deadly cases of the virus is iran where many fear that the number of deaths and infections is higher than the figures being reported by the authorities. Concerned about the virus and afraid that it may spread here in iran i am wearing a mask and gloves and washing my hands more often as a precaution against infection. Iranian officials are working to quell fear of the virus and have asked the countrys media to coordinate their reporting with the health ministry. Earlier we spoke with their ologist alexander who says many countries have been too slow to take action against the spread of the virus plea this face has begun quite some weeks ago already. Knew already that this is taking place and now we have evidence that this is taking place people have been warning about this all the time and i think we in europe especially begin quite late to stop to start controlling people at the ports and do some measurements to contain the outbreak here in other countries like iran or an african countries i think they have not many means to do anything they dont even have to tests for this new virus so i think we would be just watching how this virus. Continues spreading there because now it is clear that not only the connection to a traveler from china is important but also people who dont have any apparent connection might be infected what i call this hint hinterland surveyance its its very important to know what happens in the country and its not only a question of what you do it your borders you have to keep in mind that the whole outbreak is at the end only only a disease its a disease and what makes this disease a disaster is really our reaction if we over react if you produce panic if you have a lot of Collateral Damage in this social area then it really becomes a disaster and we have to really focus on this things which are necessary and voigt overdoing it.

The 70th for Lin InternationalFilm Festival is underway here in the german capital and some of the favorites for the prestigious golden bear award are already leaving a lasting impression on audiences after johnny to add stole the headlines and the limelight on day 2 of the belinelli as his latest film minamata and its World Premiere day 3 has even more in store for us one of the highly anticipated films on saturday night its called 1st cow its a tale from the twentys by american director Kelly Reichardt. I mean to see it as our reporter hes got the best seat in the house at the bell and all of this weekend and we find him right now at the red carpet i mean youre lucky man you got to see 1st cow 1st hand one of the films that has a lot of hype going into the festival what stood out for you is right carl i saw this film that has been highly anticipated and for me it definitely lived up to expectations i know its a western film it has all the trappings of a western but it isnt a western in the sense that it tells the tender side of the wild wild west so we see at the center of this film a friendship between 2 men who dont fit the type of the hardboiled frontiersmen they come together in this gritty land and have to find a way to make money and they do that by using the milk of one of the 1st cows to come out there one of the friends is a cook he goes by the name cookie and he finds a way to make a really tasty biscuit thats loved by all these gritty frontiersmen so at the center of it is this friendship i asked orion leader who plays the chinese gold digger whos the other of the friends i asked him what he thought about this friendship and he said essentially the story of 2 soft guys 2 gigs who meet in the land of guns says well this as we heard the 1st cow in the running for the golden bear i mean how does it stack up to the competition. Well if the judges are looking for a film that put a lot of work into it they wont be disappointed now Kelly Reichardt is a very well respected director and this is not one of her minor films i would say without giving away too much just to give an idea of what kind of effort she put into this she had a dedicated researcher to make sure that the costumes and the props were historically accurate she befriended the members of the local chynna tribe in south oregon where this film is set even had them make some of the props based on their old tradition and she even sent the 2 main actors to a sort of reenactment camp where they had to spend time learning how to make the crafts that theyre seen making in the film so she definitely put she went all in on this film and i imagine shes hoping that the jury will respect that. Celebrity watchers were busy yesterday with johnny depp on the red carpet any big name celebrities out there today well its going to be a slow night tonight we dont have a johnny depp he was definitely the headliner of the festival in the next coming days were going to see the likes of willem dafoe out here but tonight is really about some films that were highly anticipated despite the fact that they dont have any big hollywood or european stars in them so this was really an arthouse night if you could say and in terms of films on me and whats in store tonight well we have a big french director out hill out here filipe filipe.
