World Health Organization is using social media giants to counter what it calls an. International polar bear day we take a look at what makes these are so special and how the majestic creatures have become an icon for the threats posed by Climate Change. Fellow attorney martin good to have you with us the corona virus is now spreading faster outside of china than in it here in germany 9 new cases have been confirmed since tuesday evening and the government has set up an Emergency Task force to deal with the outbreak 2 patients are being treated at a hospital in the city of those football authorities warn that the number of cases is likely to rise signify. As they are no longer able to trace the chain of infection. Health minister young says the country is at the beginning of a coronavirus epidemic and has urged regional authorities to review their Emergency Planning if. We are at the beginning of a coronavirus epidemic in germany the cases in north rhinewestphalia and bought in verdun bags are a further sign of this change of infection are partly and this is a new aspect not traceable its there are multiple persons who have had contact with the infected patients. And thats a qualitative difference to the 16 infectious cases weve already had in germany where in each case the chain of infection could be traced back to the art break in china. Well for more on how germany is coping with the coronavirus are joined here by our Political Correspondent kate pretty good morning kate so the Health Minister there we heard him saying that the country is now facing its own coronavirus epidemic whats the government doing about it well at the moment were seeing a very clear headed and level headed approach to this actually of course the German Government is in touch with other european governments as well particularly with italy but at the moment germany for example has no specific time demick plan in place for the. Virus but we are seeing the situation change very rapidly so we could see Climate Change measures being increased in the coming days and of course the federal government has been asking local governments to review measures and health plans as well but was seen not at the moment were not really seeing any large scale measures no towns being closed off for example like weve seen in italy but of course the government is still trying to make sure that people who are affected isolated and that has been the case so far and also people who have been in contact with these affected people. For a couple of weeks. Pyrogen of course the general the general call on the public as well is to keep following very simple measures of hand washing as well making sure that that is carried out thoroughly ok well one place where the buyers spreading in germany is the state of north rhinewestphalia man and his wife have both been hospitalized there in the city of ft. Authorities transported the 47 year old man and his wife to Golf University clinic early Tuesday Morning the mans condition is critical he tested positive for covert 19 as the new coronaviruses named on wednesday officials confirmed both he and his wife were infected. The man is gravely ill hes suffering badly from pneumonia and is on ventilation. The good news is that his condition did not deteriorate overnight showing signs of improvement if the woman is also illness he has inflammation of the lungs and a fever but she is by no means in the same serious condition as her husband. The couples 2 children have so far show no symptoms of the virus and it being closely monitored. The couple has an active social life and as you might be aware weekend there were carnival celebrations throughout the state of north rhinewestphalia. Whats important is that the woman is a Kindergarten Teacher and of course was working in child care until the beginning of carnival celebrations. Children enrolled in Daycare Centers and schools in the area as well as parents are being told to remain at home for the next 2 weeks the goal is to break the chain of infection. And this is why the challenge considering the man was in various places while displaying symptoms during the virus is 10 to 14 day period so his attention he came into contact with an almost endless number of people. The man was recently treated twice at the University Clinic in cologne for an unrelated illness stuff who had contact with them there are now under quarantine. So the crude a virus is continuing to spread the german Health Minister is warning of an epidemic in this country how worried or people in germany because people are concerned this is something new we still dont know everything about this virus and of course at the moment thats still currently no vaccine available but some 5 people seem to have been acting rather responsibly and calmly people quarantining themselves for the required amount of time as we saw the reports and some schools have also been closed as well as a precautionary measure during that. Period and of course people have also been reaching out to Health Authorities where necessary and it certainly seems here in berlin things that people have been taking hand washing take it very seriously and weve been very lucky to try and find some Hand Sanitizer at the moment as many of the shelves here at least in the capital empty alcohol and lots of soap as well all must be said also that Germanys Health system is pretty well set up to deal with at least the countrys Health Minister is confident about the of course germany has a very strong Health System and i think that something as well thats keeping germans as well extremely calm right now and they are of course following the advice of the of the of the Health Ministry as well and the best thing that people can do is just keep listening to see what the local measurement measures offer from local governments as well ok thanks so much Political Correspondent kate great fear. Well the new form of the coronavirus officially named code 19 emerged in the chinese city of wood in december to date the virus has claimed almost 3000 lives each other still has the highest number of reported cases more than 78000 and this is what has happened just in the last 24 hours south korea has reported its biggest one day jump in infections brazil has confirmed latin americas 1st case and in europe italy remains the line in the struggle to contain the outbreak which is now claimed 12 lives australias Prime Minister has warned that a pandemic is on its way and has initiated emergency measures to stop the disease from spreading and has just come in that denmark has confirmed its 1st corona virus case heres a closer look at how countries around the world are fighting to ward off a pandemic.

Patients have mild symptoms and are over. In the us President Donald Trump out a special press conference on the coronavirus emphasizing that the risk to americans was low he said the u. S. Was prepared to escalate its response to a potential outbreak. We were ready to adapt and were ready to do whatever we have to as the disease spreads if it spreads. Meanwhile 11 towns in northern italy where the virus has been diagnosed remain under lockdown military police is stuffing roadblocks allowing or he authorized personnel access nearly 50000 people have been placed under effective quarantine that. And later in this program well find out from the reporter peter a lot of misinformation about the virus is spreading fish now heres a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today in the u. S. 5 people have been killed in a shooting at a Brewing Company in milwaukee according to Police Reports the shooter took his own life and hes been identified as a 51 year old employee of the brutal. Officials in indonesia say the death toll from the floods that hit the capital jakarta has risen for 25 at least 3 others are missing and nearly 10000 people have been displaced floodwaters submerged entire neighborhoods on tuesday following a heavy downpour. Germanys highest court has overturned a ban on medically assisted suicide a group of patients and doctors brought the case arguing that a law banning assisted suicide was unconstitutional the ruling touches on an emotional debate about euthanasia and end of life decisions and it is an especially sensitive subject here in germany where the nazis used a socalled Euthanasia Program to kill hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities. The decision by the German Constitutional Court took many by surprise. The ruling means assisted suicide may soon legally take place in germany. The common rights of the individual allow the right to a self determined death. That right includes the freedom to take ones own life therefore also to seek help from a 3rd party as long as its offered and that what. One of the people who brought the case to court was held. He has a terminal illness and wants the right to end his life when its no longer worth living. I dont want to reach that stage the difficulty breathing. Perhaps i wont be able to communicate. My quality of life will have reached its limits. And i wont want to go on. But not everyone welcomed the courts ruling at a Catholic Charity hospice in berlin many see things differently some are. Simply concerned that they will now suddenly just be a really lousy way thats quicker and also cheaper thats not something i want in our society many forms and i want to be certain that Everything Possible is done so that people can live with dignity until the last moment. There are various opinions on the high courts ruling also out on the street yavin as that is a good point if everything is done according to the rules and all the paperwork is there and the family agrees and i think its a good Thing Company to school to. Think that people should always give life a chance among all the times a terrible misery something good can happen i find it hard to then get a doctor involved its not students its all is it. If its about someone who is terminally ill and has decided they dont want to live anymore then they should also have the possibility that someone can help them. Go from. The courts decision now puts pressure on the government lawmakers will soon have to establish regulations for medication and procedures. World Health Organization is calling on social media giants to help stem the new break miss an outbreak of misinformation about the Coronavirus Health officials are calling it info demick fake news about covert 19 is making Difficult People to inform themselves properly about the virus. 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 and 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 is influenza that is now circling the go so 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 cited by says people to ward off the corona virus by drinking chlorine dioxide a form of industrial bleach the u.

Has launched its own Public Information task force. There are several measures you can adopt to protect yourself and others from getting the new coronavirus the appropriate use of math their top Counter Measure to descend permission is simply putting the truth out there with soap and water or alcohol based hand. Were joined here in the studio by reporter peter. For social media has been watching. The how this virus information war has been working out online peter we just saw in that report how much misinformation is circulating online about the corona virus whats the motivation of people who produce and spread that material well there are a number of Different Reasons as we saw in that report for instance one is you know just stone cold great people are trying to make a quick buck off of other peoples fears but the more dangerous kind that were seeing is really when this information is used as more of a political weapon so its an attempt to you know weaponized information to soap is trust in governments destabilize governments potentially. You know at a time when people are really looking to their governments and authorities for answers right so that can be very detrimental just last week the u. S. Intelligence community warned against essentially an army of russian ling troll so thousands of fake accounts that are spreading wild allegations like for instance the cia having created the virus in order to hurt the chinese economy weve seen similar attacks directed at china and one that ive also seen a lot of is you know rightly populist who essentially jumped on this outbreak to stoke and tame a great sentiment i spoke to a number of asian people who said that theyve experienced attacks. And physically in the wake of the outbreak so a lot of Different Reasons none of them are good now a lot of people are really unsure where they should look for Accurate Information about the coronavirus online what rough guidelines would you all for of them on how they can get the information that they need right i mean the good thing that weve seen is as a lot of Health Ministries have been have been done a pretty pretty good job you know actively debunking the misinformation thats out there theyve rolled out very clear guidelines as to how to deal with the outbreak so look to those i would say number one. Also just use your common sense if it sounds too wild to be true like the example we saw number port hundreds of thousands of people who died you know look to other major outlets are they reporting similar numbers have not you know its probably not true now the w h os recent report is set up a special task force to help inform the public accurately about the current virus how effective do you think that will be i mean its a step in the right direction but the much greater problem thats none w. H. O. Cant contain is the fact that too many of these social media platforms they still grill lie predominantly on their users to report the misinformation. And until that changes you know that death threat that a lot of those keys personally you know a lot of this keeps reading is really still exists and it really risk exacerbating a crisis completely unnecessarily peter thanks so much peter lets dial from our social media to us. Well its world polarbear day to day aimed at reminding people about Global Warming images of those animals roaming an ever shrinking habitat have become symbolic of the threats of Climate Change conservationists hope world polar bear day will encourage people to do even small things such as turn down their thermostat or take the train instead of the car to help save the majestic animal. They can smell you from a kilometer away run most humans and crush a seal skull with their jaws no doubt about it polar bears like these are seriously scary theyre also the best known victims of Climate Change the one that is not really thought of the polar bears living in the arctic rely on pack ice with survival of the seals by waiting for them to come up through holes in the ice. If the ice melts and increases and saw use that becomes a very real threat for the public. But the warm for the i spend. Satellite images of the arctic show red areas where the ice is fading that makes it more difficult for polar bears to hunt seals their main source of food the bears also depend on snow and ice to build dens where females give birth to their young and where they stay for 3 to 4 months after theyre born as a bath in a few surprises many people is that although polar bears can get really big and on the largest land based presence on the planet when the born there about the size of a guinea pig. Almost make it blind and deaf and without the support of the mothers they cant survive. For just a few months later they develop into a really handsome but i have to think on and they could be unstuck here bill. Only 26000 polar bears are left in the wild Scientists Say they warn that 2 thirds of them might disappear within this century if the earth continues to get warmer if governments dont take action to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions these magnificent animals could even become extinct. Things are hotting up in the Champions League on wednesday night Manchester City travel to dredge Jonathan Crane from the sports is here to tell us all about it. So Manchester City we know theyve been banned from next seasons tournaments but could they still stick around a bit longer than this one well they said they managed to pull off a 21. 00 win in madrid recovering from a goal down to stun a side this one is competition more times than any other 3rd a really impressive victory now as you might expect. For the hour mark the 1st go through rise by. Capitalize on the mix up in the mountains the defense but then back to baghdad d. L. Hazy glancing had it from him and then 5 minutes later they completed their comeback coming to bring in that the man of the match really in the penalty spot he was absolutely super bowl nights and then to make matters worse for a ramel this was a straight red card death bringing down his use when he was thrown goes thats a huge play for them because he will not miss the 2nd leg in Manchester City that was you that did it i see it with victory we can see them so what do you think could. Could run their Manchester City not really all out of the cup to me i mean theyve given themselves a great chance really that taking away goals baxi manchester that means even a 10 win for round madrid wont be enough remember waco was the facts of the counts and we really need to give. Credit for the way they set up. And approach the game because it was quite brave he drops his best attacking play as they and says they were grier that allowed him to pack the midfield and that really had the effect of stifling in the trades a kevin to bring and then really steps up and of course this all comes against the backdrop of this european ban on Manchester City that fans were chanting against the way for a drought that they now go out every said look this is not given us that insensitive im not sure we can really believe in because one of the reasons you cited so hes expensive is because the owners once were in the competition now while they study cost of the game and he said if any side can see on this one around israel madrid lets listen we will play better we can see took will that we should not concede in these level but sometimes we do these kind of things when mother play and then we scored a little enough to. For no one read them and. We scored the 2nd one so. Yeah to those who are happy about the schools will be the 2nd leg. To be worried no worry but ok this deal is not over still not what about wednesdays other match another upset yet i want to say still not over there it was a big result for the on the short events this one theyll be in the game at the goal of the game came off the half an hour because south toward it now his name sounds familiar its german football fans its because hes actually signed for half a 1000000000 already they loved him back to leon so smart signing by then frustrating night for christiane i have another one inside of i would still bet on them to make it through to the course of finals ok jonathan thank you so much Jonathan Crane from do you know the sports. Well by munich striker robert levin doest is facing a month on the sidelines after he suffered a knee injury in tuesdays Champions League victory over chelsea he will likely miss the 2nd leg of that time on march 18th in munich the polish hitman will be sorely missed by the german champions as they try to win and 8 consecutive domestic title.
