The verity of the at the demick in the affected nations and the deeper the blue on this map but the larger the number of reported cases as you can see here china still has the highest number more than 78000. 00 cases there altogether 50 countries or territories have confirmed cases of the virus that total stands at more than 82000. 00 Numerous International flights have been canceled heres a closer look at how countries around the world are fighting to ward off a pandemic. Streets does that as infection set in italy several new cases across europe more deaths reported in south korea and many global events from sporting matches to conferences canceled. Around the world preparations are ramping up as fears of the virus turning into a pandemic grow. Australia has kicked off emergency measures wall that. Is yet to declare. The night of the bars and its move towards a pandemic fries. We believe that the risk of a Global Pandemic is very much upon us and as a result as a government we need to take the steps necessary to prepare for such pandemic. As the number of cases in the middle east to rise travel to holy sites in saudi arabia has been halted months in advance of the annual hajj pilgrimage. Even north korea yet to report a single case is taking preventative measures closing its borders and postponing the new school term the virus is at the center and move on in China Remains the west hit most of the reported deaths and cases are in the city and the surrounding who bay province. Chinas infection rates the virus is now spreading faster more and more countries are reporting cases. Outbreaks earlier i spoke with. A spokesman for the World Health Organization and i asked him why the virus is spreading so quickly in places that dont have a link to china the vast majority of all infections come from symptomatic people and from those. Who we can trace back the link but it seems all we still have to understand more about possibly asymptomatic people have been transporting the virus. And then have been showing up in countries or infected without a direct link yet back to the origins of these tests and is looking into history all travelers of infection history is ongoing because we need to understand that how these infections are possible. If there is a link or if theres no link and if theres no link where these infections come from. Here in germany the government is taking measures to contain an outbreak of the virus thats after a sudden rise in infections this weekend a warning from industry of a severe impact on the economy 10 new cases have been reported since tuesday a couple is being treated at a hospital and schools and kindergartens in their town have been closed while officials try to trace the chain of infection and the government has announced interior and Health Officials will have a joint Emergency Task force to deal with what they say is an inevitable epidemic this site. Shows that we are taking this outbreak of the corona virus seriously and we are reacting to a new situation that Germany Europe and the whole world are confronting this is the beginning of a coronavirus epidemic in germany i said this yesterday very deliberately in order to prepare ourselves for this new scenario and new developments. Forts and brady is with us shes been taking a look at how germany is coping with the coronavirus we heard that theyre setting up a federal crisis unit here in germany what measures will be taken as i say were not at this point expecting to see any large scale measures the kind of which weve seen in parts of italy for example where entire small towns or villages have been quarantined and closed off but there was some new measures announced today during the press conference for example with deportations of rejected Asylum Seekers back to wish to they where they originally arrived those will be temporarily halted and people returning from countries most affected by the coronavirus have been asked to contact local authorities when they return back to germany or just arrived here on the travel so thats countries like china south korea japan iran and italy but the main aim right now is to slow down the spread of the virus here in germany and to break down the chain of infection thats the main aim of this Crisis Commission and so you. One of the main measures that the governments are relying on people to be active in as well is self quarantine so if you know that you have been nice and one who is who is being affected by current virus to quarantine yourself at home for the 2 week period so at the moment the German Government is very much taking each day as it comes as the Health Minister said again today we know very little about the virus right now and were learning more and more every day we know already know more now than we did 4 weeks ago and so are the governments of the Health Ministry and this Commission Plan to then adapt the measures as they see fit as the virus develops spreads even all also doesnt how worried you think germans are about this virus germans are concerned this is something new as i mentioned we still dont know everything about it and of course theres still no vaccine at the moment but so far people seem to be acts in quite responsibly theyve been approaching local Health Authorities if theyre showing symptoms and at the same time it does seem as well that taking on board the recommendations. By the Health Ministry as well very simple measures like making sure that youre not coughing and sneezing into your hands and also making sure that theres a washed extremely thorough really. Keep brady with us thank you so much while the World Health Organization is calling on social Media Companies to help stem misinformation about the coronavirus Health Officials are calling it an info demick a day lose of information about the virus some accurate and some not is making it difficult for people to keep themselves properly informed. As the corona virus spreads around the world theres another outbreak going viral. Misinformation online from scammers angling for a quick buck to shadowy actors so when chaos manipulators lie in wait. Here a website with wild exaggerations of the number of dead and infected false hype from a notorious american white supremacist and another Conspiracy Theory in the right wing Washington Times linking the corona virus to chinas bio Warfare Program a rumor rejected by Public Health scientists. Online peddlers are looking to profit from public panic selling products with unproven claims this influenza that is now circling to go youre saying that silver solution would be effective well lets say it hasnt been tested on this strain of the corona virus but its been tested on other strains of the corona virus and has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours another site advice is people to ward off the corona virus by drinking chlorine dioxide a form of industrial bleach the u. S. Food and Drug Administration says is dangerous. Public Health Experts warn such false claims can cause the virus to spread further and faster distracting people from proven prevention techniques. The World Health Organization is fighting back putting pressure on social media giants to place reliable sources about the coronavirus higher in search results. And the w. H. O. Has launched its own Public Information task force. There are several measures. To protect yourself and others from getting the new coronavirus the appropriate use of math their top Counter Measure to dissent from ation is actually simply putting the truth out there really with soap and water for more on the story peter dials from data via social media team is with us hes been looking into the story for us hi peter this is extremely worrying and dangerous i mean why would people want to willfully spread misinformation well there are number reasons obviously we saw some of the reported ones like still cold greed so basically trying to make a quick buck off of you know other peoples fears. More worryingly i think theyre using the misinformation to really as a political weapon so its to destabilize governments its to sow distrust in authorities at a time when a lot of people are really counting on officials to tell them how to how to go about the situation how to handle deal with a crisis. In the u. S. For instance weve seen the religious right really mobilized to you know raise doubts and call into question the effectiveness of science weve seen right wing populist jump on this to really stoke anti immigrant sentiment spoke to a number of people from several Asian Countries who described you know racist attacks physically and verbally and just last week u. S. Intelligence warned that. Basically an army of trolls linked to russia has created thousands of fake accounts that are spreading. Effectively these wild allegations like this cia created the virus in order to you know wage war in the chinese economy all of these things you know effectively call into question or raise doubts about whether or not we can trust our governments a lot of reasons for misinformation none of them are good ok with that see event misinformation out there what can people do to find out what information is reliable right i mean the good news is that were seeing especially Health Ministry is really stepping up theyve done a pretty good job at providing providing easy to understand guidelines so definitely check out your local or your Health Ministries home page a lot of them have also take the social media to actively fight back against misinformation debunking myths but also use your common sense if you see some of the numbers that we saw in that report right there hundreds of thousands of deaths well checked other outlets check other major news sources are they reporting similar figures if not well but its probably not true ok and we seem to w. H. O. It says on that report to set up this Public Information task force if you think thats going to be effective well i think its actually a step in the right direction but i think the problem is also much bigger then the w. H. O. One is a problem that they cant really contain and that is the fact that it remains too easy to abuse the social media platform to weaponize information they still facebook and twitter still rely to a to great extent on their users really policing and flacking misinformation as long as that policy continues this threat is going to persist and its definitely not helping in situations like this rank it at these dollars thank you so much for joining us here in studio. Well you can find reliable information about the spread of the corona virus on our website dot com now to some other stories making news around the world Syrian Rebels say they have kept recaptured a strategic town northwestern it live province that comes as the syrian army is pushing to gain control over the last large rebel held region a syrian Human Rights Group says Government Troops have seized full control of southern it live and the adjoining hum a province in the last 3 days and heavy rains have triggered severe flooding in western and northern colombia Officials Say at least 8 people are dead and 12 are listening after mudslides left a trail of devastation major roads are blocked hampering rescue efforts. In india some of the worst sectarian violence in years has left more than 30 people dead in the capital delhi the root of the rioting is a controversial citizenship law that fast track citizenship for certain religious groups from neighboring countries but not muslims violence between hindus who backed the law and muslims who oppose it 1st erupted on sunday since then the clashes have left parts of the city in ruins and many people fearing for their lives. Its days after the clashes began and these communities are still burying their dead this months friends say he was hit by a stray bullets as he went out to buy groceries others have managed to escape with their lives but only just mohammed was attacked by a violent mob as he made his way home from the local mosque. 20 to 25 people started beating me up the rest were standing by as if they were watching a show there were thousands behind them they kept hitting me nobody came forward to safe me.

The clashes prone to demands for a curfew in some areas authorities have banned people from assembling it is the worst sectarian violence to hit indias capital in decades no matter our hindu brothers houses were attacked by people throwing stones and the muslim brothers homes were also attacked as much childhood we havent heard of such violence crime hindus and muslims but now were hearing this. Theres an uneasy calm across the city after more than 3 days of attacks and arson with sparring communities left counting the cost of this violent unrest. Lets bring in. From delhi for more on the story behind misha what is the situation like in delhi today. Well its already the situation continues to be dams that arent the shocking visuals of running dry its that he was seeing coming out of the location on monday and tuesday so it has been carmel yesterday the police took out a massive flag marches through the era to reassure people that there is Police Presence but once again in the evening we heard reports of targeted violence against muslims the death toll has risen over the last day and reports say that it could be much higher Going Forward there is a lot of feel in muslims not only living in the neighborhood but in other parts of the league as well as that are rumors flying around of mob trying to attack muslim neighborhoods but its also heartening to see that there are other neighborhoods where hindus and muslims are taking out these marches together to say that they have will stand against such violence and that also see experiences and and and and shelter being offered to muslims who are trying to flee from their neighborhoods which is also happening so the situation will have to continue being one of the riots and not quite over yet what caused these riots i mean what led to this outbreak of violence weve seen politicians are accused of sparking the riots with inflammatory speeches is that true. Well definitely some of the 1st attacks have not been documented so were not exactly clear what was the 1st thing that provoked the riots but one piece of information that has been coming out is that there was a blue chip people edition of the g. O. P. Leader who had come out in front of police threatened the protesters against the citizenship law saying that if the police doesnt clear them he will take matters into his own hands now a deadly hot at the Delhi High Court has called for the police to take action against other political hate speech me good me because this is not new and hate speech has been spiking from the ruling b. G. P. And this has also of course been the cause of concern because this is now it looks like nothing to do instances of violence but of course once again. And the opposition is calling for the home minister to step down just a lot of criticism of the major piece but the party itself has not taken action against these do you know even though the Delhi High Court has called for such action to be taken right.
