Negotiators sign an agreement that could pave the way to delete 2 decades of conflict. And dramatic scenes in the bundesliga but music fans calls this match with oppenheim to be interrupted twice after the show an offensive banner and a talking. To. A math me held welcome to the program the corona virus has claimed its 1st victim in the United States where a man has died in Washington State officials there are given no further details at this stage but u. S. President donald trump has been speaking at the white house. Lets go now to professor peter hes a viral a just an effects an expert at the Baylor College of medicine and joins us from Houston TexasPresident Trump has just been giving a press conference professor is this governments response do you get the feeling is the governments response enough to curb the spread of the virus in the u. S. Well its a good question where china trying to multitask listen to the president figuring out what his next plan isnt and that n. S. P. King to you you know weve weve had a few stumbling blocks along the way in our preparedness in our response to this epidemic particularly in the United States what ive been saying all along is this is actually not unusual ive been at this for 20 years and we saw it with anthrax in 2001 with h one n one and in 2009 ebola 2014 zeek a 2016 and now this and the usual goes by the same patterns things until we get our arms around what it what it means to have this new type of pathogen that we havent seen before we have to better understand how its transmitted who the populations are that are risk was the high risk mortality and theres always a few missteps in the beginning both by the World Health Organization and our government never government and then people rally around me and we start to fix things i actually think a lot of things that go on right both on the World Health Organization and on our end what im most worried about i think for places like germany places like europe in the u. S. Is pretty if youre from what Health Care Workers because theyre the ones of greatest risk right now for. And im not sure were doing were doing a good service for them were not providing them with adequate protective gear and many hospitals are good reliable algorithms for how we manage it and good good rapid diagnostics. Focusing in on south korea at a critical point as you say in europe has seen a vast increase in cases of the past few days given that its the viruses out of control. You know i dont think you can say its out of control i think what were seeing you know may be the beginning of a potential pandemic a Global Pandemic in which were seeing significant levels of transmission in multiple countries that are geographically disparate parts of the world and so trying to understand how thats all related and so this is what it means to be on the throes of a pandemic and and i think the priorities now need to be. Changing strategy getting away from travel restrictions and that sort of thing and recognizing that theres an increasing life the good your nation will have an increased interest as mission of this virus putting all the measures that we need in place protecting our Health Care Workers are on the front lines thats the top priority anywhere because of they go down the whole system collapses so and we saw on how there were more than a 1000 Health Care Workers who perished in the sorry 1000 Health Care Workers who are affected 5 or 6 who died that would be very destabilizing for almost any country so thats thats the number one priority we dont really understand how this virus is transmitted fully and we dont really understand how people present when they 1st see their doctor entirely seeing stories of gastrointestinal symptoms that sort of things we have to sort that out and really improve our rapid diagnostic capabilities so you know as this epidemic morphs into a pandemic which i think is pretty likely then we have to figure out how were going to get our arms around the next step. Professor. Just then backs an expert from the by the college of medicine joining us from Houston Texas thank you so much thanks so much. Well the United States and the taliban have signed an agreement ended ending nearly 2 decades of conflict in afghanistan but sides in the deal and could times capital doha following a year and a half of talks each have committed to a reduction in violence if women paves the way for the United States to gradually withdraw its troops from afghanistan in return taliban have promised not to allow the country to be used as a base for terror attacks against the. U. S. Secretary of state my pump signing of the agreement in doha he called it the best opportunity for peace in a generation today is that historic day for the United States of america and the american people. Today we have taken a decisive step toward peace real peace in afghanistan. Just as any worthy journey begins it is a 1st step and we know exactly who were dealing with if the taliban did up hold their commitments present or up in history and will not hesitate to do what we must do to protect american lives if on the other hand the taliban abide by their promises the United States will undertake a responsible conditions based troop withdrawal u. S. Secretary of state will those also a parallel ceremony in kabul with u. S. Secretary of defense marcus and afghan president ashraf ghani signing a joint statement committing the Afghan Government to support the u. S. Television deal we asked our correspondent there the t. V. To tell us more about that. It was a similar agreement and essentially what that was more of a ceremony with the president and the chief executive in attendance nato officials and it was essentially them you know being very adamant that an increment with the taliban is based on conditions you know the president said he was thankful for the United States and its allies for their help but he reminded them that you know any green with the taliban does come with strings and if the taliban does not abide by those terms there is there should be a way to back out of any deal or to make them face. Rep and to us for it. I leave the t. V. That well in the bundesliga by munich conflict today 6 nil to fate on hoffenheim but the story of the day was the match being interrupted twice due to an offensive banner in binds fan block bond scored 4 goals in the 1st tough to put the match out of reach thomas mullah had 2 assists and for the back continue to bryce but then by and fans started insulting Hoffman Hines on my own a rather deep my hope and the play was to walk off the pitch the teams did eventually return for the final 13 minutes but refused to play properly instead having a kickabout between themselves. So a great performance on the pitch from boston yes but clearly the action in the stands will remain the talking point Chris Harrington from data sports joining us from all. Chris took us through exactly what happened you know you pretty much said it in a nutshell they were being molly whopped hoffenheim off instantly the 77th minute you know thats when the referee stepdad initially he warned you know the ultra fans from the abusive inoffensive banners in verbal abuse in the direction of de mar hop you know but then ultimately be saw the antiracism protocol execute you know was basically theres a 3 step process youre warned the players walk off if things calm down the players resume and thats what we saw take place the players are zoomed in theres a bit of a kick around and so forth so why did mar hop all deep water hop in a nutshell hes a billionaire hes the owner of hoffenheim and he opposes you know the rule german football fans hold near and dear to their heart the 50 plus one rule preventing owners from having majority control of a club in hobbs been on the receiving end a few times now and we finally seen the antiracism policy take place rice ism in football is a wakely accounts chris why dont we see players walk off the pitch more often you know thats one of these issues that scratch my head. At about 2 i didnt think a billionaire would be the reason we saw the antiracism you know policy executed you know but we have seen what tends to happen when players are racially abused as they tend to be encouraged by their their players their teammates or coaches to endure the abuse and stay on the pitch and kind of just finish conducting your job you know we saw jordan. A player for head to berlin the capital club during the german cup match he was on the receiving end of racism is a good shelter will the shock of fans were just find players and walk off weve heard German National player antonio he believes players should have a unified front to set a precedent its all walked off together and some on social media are calling it hypocrisy because you know why is a billionaire benefiting you know from this rule that was put in place to kind of protect the players on the pitch you know but theyre arguing some people are arguing freedom of speech and in so on but you know i think its important just to see regardless of who was the victim in this case the players walked off the pitch in solidarity hopefully when a player is abused racially the next time it does occur we see the same because then you know a lot will be screaming see if we dont right to have you here Chris Harrington from sports thanks for your time ok well and on the other bundesliga action dortmund kept up the pressure on 2nd place with a narrow victory of a fribourg. Was the difference between the 2 sides the englishman finished from talking has a cross off the 15 minutes it was his 14th bonus they could call in this incredible season for the englishman dogman clung on to they laid their level on points now with watching. But it played one more game. Well its the gala ceremony at the 70th International BerlinFilm Festival and Helen Humphreys got rough have been watching the bears being handed out do we know yet guys who got the gold in bed. And me we have just a moment ago heard on the golden that. Hes no evil and every movie by mohammed there are still some mazing this is phenomenal choice this is a film made by a dissident already and filmmaker hes been banned from making films around here to make this film completely in secret and its a full on attack on the Iranian Regime which is almost impossible to even imagine doing i think jeremy irons the president of the competition jury made a very brave choice a very Strong Political and a very Strong Political message with this film plus it was actually my favorite film of the festival so he made the correct critical choice in my opinion an amazing an amazing night an amazing night figuring instead of just to add a little bit more to the poignancy of it the director himself is not able to collect that name because he is still in iran and he has not been allowed to leave the country since 2017. Popular choice from the sound of it what about the soviets. Yes silver banners we had a phenomenal director another korean after the korean. Hole one at the oscars with parasite his contemporaries signing soon one best director here with the woman who ran a very different movie the parasite minimalist a tale of a woman who might just be on the edge of a nervous breakdown phenomenal a story told with the with the eye of a true master another great choice from the jury in my can still the best for the best actually going to get a man though for his depiction of antonio. In italian film body of the National Dead me he didnt away which is all about the life all that paints a very physical performance from him hes mentally troubled and it was his suffering physical ailments i mean he just completely and you know jett amount of just completely commit sin self i think and i think this is really star making performance this is an act you hear a lot be hearing a lot from the best actress went to. A german local for her performance in indiana a german drama from a cost on petrol and the jury prize a sort of runner up prize went to another of my favorites this year never really sometimes always via lies i had been an american director this is an abortion story about a 17 year old trying to get a terminations with her parents consent a very delicate take on a very political subject another great choice i have to say almost all great choices from the jury in my opinion i think. So were taught a ribbon around the belinelli what did these awards tell us about the 70th edition of this festival. I say very briefly for me the fact that the golden bear went to then is no evil says that the bad and it remains true to its cause and it is staying both and remaining political yet definitely that sets the case weve seen this is the 3rd iranian film to win in 10 years here at the bell and they definitely like to make a statement political statement weve seen that again this year but what i found as well this is the 1st time. Under a 2 a new directors and they put more of an artistic stamp i think the quality of films artistic all the films this year were better not quite as many stars but a lot better quality films Helena Humphrey and scott roxboro thank you so much. And this is day doubly news live from berlin im Anthony Hallett thanks watching. Were all set. To go beyond. All of the stories that matter to the. Country. Whatever it takes.
