Well there are fears of course that the outbreak could cause a global recession so far the Aviation Industry has been particularly badly affected the e. U. Says it plans to step in to help. I asked the Coronavirus Response team this morning to look into further tools about the commission can mobilize in order to address the overall impact. CoronaVirus Outbreak has on the economy throughout europe many sectors are already suffering and we will need to look for ways to support them for instance and this is just one example every ation the coronaVirus Outbreak has a major impact on the european and International Education industry we see that the situation is deteriorating on a daily basis. Well im joined in the studio by neves. Leaders are meeting Via Teleconference to discuss the coronavirus obviously most of them must be worried by italys example right now what is in their priorities are or 1st is a real sign of the times that these e. U. Leaders and other senior officials including the likes of Christine Lagarde the head of the European Central bank has been meeting via video link up such as the concern about the spread of the virus given that several lawmakers in france including the minister of culture has tested positive for the virus ordinarily its down to individual e. U. States to come up with their own policy when it comes to health care but given concerns about the impact on the whole of the economy particularly in countries like italy theyre already already teetering on the edge of recession the feeling is now is the time to try and connect the dots put aside regional differences and come up with some concerted action on how to move forward in the best possible way we know also that the European Parliament has been meeting and debating the role of a future Coronavirus Task force a vote will take place on thursday to establish what exactly that body will do outside the European Union the United Kingdom as of january 31st no longer a member of the e. U. Saying that its come up with its own strategy to deal with the coronavirus based upon science as ive been finding out. The u. K. s keep calm and carry on approach to the coronavirus is in sharp contrast to many other countries france germany and several other e. U. Nations have banned large gatherings of people and as italians woke up to a countrywide lock down the tightest restrictions since the 2nd world war it was business as usual of britains child and horse race meeting the event drawing tens of thousands of visitors the differences are stark in italy syria our football matches went ahead but without any fans while in the u. K. S Premier League stadiums were packed although players did have to forgo the traditional pregame handshake the British Government says its putting science at the heart of all coronavirus planning its resisted introducing checks in airports and banning public gatherings saying theres very little Scientific Evidence the moves will help instead the governments promoting a phased approach contain delay with search and mitigate we remain in the contained phase of the outbreak but watching what is happening around the world our scientists think containment is extremely unlikely to work on its own and that is why we are making extensive preparations for a move to the delay phase the main strategies based on stalling the peak of the virus until the summer where therell be less strain on the countrys Health Service however experts now warn the virus will change pace in a matter of days requiring action so we are now very close to the time probably within the next 10 to 14 days when the modeling would imply we should move to a situation where we say everybody who has even minor Tract Infections or a fever should be so faisel ating for 7 days afterwards the call for calm hasnt been entirely heeded supermarkets have been stripped of toilet paper and Hand Sanitizer as people stockpile for a crisis and no one has. You feel like youre getting information saying not to worry but then you also are wondering if you are downplaying it has come back or think the big trouble is knowing what to believe in the governments worst Case Scenario 80 percent of the country could fall ill the question is whether britain will look back at this time and ask whether anything could and should have been done sooner leave barca aljazeera london well as the numbers of those infected surge in europe its a different story in china where things that seem to be slowly returning to normal present paying has made his 1st trip to the viruses epicenter of patients who contracted the virus have mostly recovered and people are returning to work scott hyder reports now from bangkok.

Hello welcome back heres a reminder of the top stories on aljazeera with all 27 Member States of the e. U. Now reporting coronavirus cases leaders of held an emergency link up by teleconference the Virtual Meeting was held on a chinese 1st day under major nationwide restrictions in spain schools have been shot in several regions flights from recently suspended and the lower house of parliament to suspend it for a week after a member test a positive. Life though is beginning to return to normal in the chinese a city at the center of the outbreak president s paying as made us 1st trip to the city of 100. 00 patients who contracted the virus of mostly recovered and people are returning to work. Voting is underway in 6 u. S. States at a critical point in the Opposition Democratic Party race for the president ial nomination to tackle donald trump its the 1st opportunity for voters to choose since the field a narrow 2 effectively a choice between 2 men. Biden and Bernie Sanders put former Vice President biden in the lead against sanders well gabrielle is on the joins us live now from detroit which is the largest city in the state of michigan and gabe just how important is michigan itself in this contest. Well its critical especially between the 6 states that are voting here on tuesday in the United States michigan is the big prize why it comes down to one thing and one word delegates this state has the most amount of delegates of all the states that are voting here on tuesday 125 delegates here at stake in the state of michigan and essential with now as you mentioned 2 candidates the 2 main candidates going head to head now with biden and Bernie Sanders theyre pretty much in a race for delegates and right now its biden with 635 and Bernie Sanders with 558 so the thinking with the Biden Campaign is if they can win michigan and when it big that will extend their delegate lead to reach that magic number which is just a little under 2000 delegates that are needed to secure the democratic nomination so michigan is key for the delegates also key because its a very diverse state huge africanamerican population here in the city of detroit but also White Working Class democrats in the in the suburbs in other cities so key for many reasons but the big race is the delegates and biden does look to be the frontrunner for now but what is the feeling about how successful he would actually be against all trump. Well thats the big question and a lot of these socalled democratic establishment if you will these are long time politicians and and movers and shakers within the Democratic Party clearly feel that joe biden prevent provides the best option to be donald trump although lets lets make it clear though that by no means that joe biden secured this nomination yet. Bernie sanders and his supporters certainly would have a lot to say about that or as they go to the polls perhaps however the thinking is with many that joe biden does very well in states like pennsylvania states like michigan perhaps and here michigan and these are big big states are going to be important in the general election although to me its of course going to come down to the voters. Joining us live now from detroit in michigan thank you. Turkey says its agreed with russia on the details of a joint patrolled buffer zone in syria as it leave the province theres only extends either side of the m 4 highway that connects the government stronghold of letter kiya with syrias largest city of aleppo turkey says it will patrol 6 kilometers to the north of the m 4 and russia will patrol the Southern Side well turkish president richard sipe head of the one is to meet his french and german counterparts for more discussions on the refugee situation and the ban is back in turkey after fruitless negotiations with European Union leaders in brussels on monday the e.

Weve heard from the turkish president saying that hes going to be welcoming the french president and the german chancellor to istanbul on tuesday and this is coming off the back of the heels of his meeting there with the e. U. Leaders last night for he spoke to them and he said hes made his point about why what the e. U. Needs to do more about thinking of its fair share of what he says its response ability in terms of the refugees that he has been hosting more than 3 and a half 1000000 refugees from syria have been in turkey and that is something that has been reiterated by the turkish president as well as his foreign minister that the border the southern border of europe does not start at greece but rather at the Syrian Border and turkey is an ally it is in nato member and has been facing difficulties in not just housing those refugees in providing for them but also the security situation that it has faced in the last 80 years so this is an ongoing issue in simultaneously there is a russian delegation which is in town in ankara where talks are underway to thrash out the details of the deal which was signed between the turkish and the russian president s last week the modalities of which as you mentioned will be the 6 kilometer buffer zone along either side off the m 4 highway the important point of contact between the Syrian Government side and the rebel side and more details about that and those joint patrols are filtering through.

Into afghan talks if the. 2 things happening one the beginning of the pull out of. The release of the prisoners president has been saying ever since it was signed that he will he did he hadnt agreed he hadnt signed to release any of these up to 5000 prisoners as guaranteed by.

That harry potter and the findings in the immediate action contained in it were invalid.
