Spread of the virus this is not the time to give up. This is not a time both for excuses. This is that dive for pulling out all the stops. Research is racing to develop a vaccine bob they warn it could take longer than heart. Im Rebecca Ritters welcome to the program greek Prime Minister to carry on to talk to says the migration deal between the e. U. And turkey is dead he accused techie of using migrants to create a crisis at the border between the 2 countries this morning great Border Police once again use tear gas to repel an attempt by migrants to push through the border from turkey it followed similar sainz on friday. Fear pain union has worn migrants they will not be allowed to enter. Frustration turns to anger for these migrants. Theyre stuck on the Turkish Border unable to get across this fence and into greece. Trying to avoid the tear gas thats being fired at them by greek police romo not only one if you want to see is firmly in this country is now for everything we all migrant families take refuge in this bus station in the turkish town of it in or near the greek border. Theyve traveled here off to ankara said it would no longer stop migrants from crossing into europe but in the nose of the ball those who are opened. We can hear the borders of the borders. Europe union. Or all until. The e. U. Is determined to contain whats become i k arctic situation dont go to the border. To bulldoze not open if someone tells you that you can go because the borders are open you can go freely to ewood of greece or to cyprus thats not to avoid the situation in which you could be in danger the migrants came to the border with high hopes encouraged in part by turkey now theyre facing the reality that the European Unions gates will remain close to them. Lets cross over to turkey now where balls are down a guy here standing by is a correspondent in istanbul for the independent newspaper thanks very much for joining me these tensions are continuing even intensifying what are you hearing from the border. I mean the same as your reporters have said you know theres a lot of migrants and refugees from mostly from south asia a lot of afghans some from the arab world theyre gathered there trying to get across they are mostly very desperate people escaping war and economic deprivation they see in europe a hope for their own future and for their childrens future and you know its a its a real humanitarian dilemma for everyone what will can you tell us about the cycle Turkish Special forces who feign sent to the border to try and prevent people who are turning back to istanbul well i mean weve seen these reports. Im not sure exactly what their orders are and what theyre d kind of direction is in terms of rules of engagement but ive heard that as well from other migrants they went to the border they try to cross they couldnt they started going back and they were told by the turkish authorities no you stay here for now and theyre not being allowed back some are being able to go back if they pay their own way they get into a taxi and pay for their way back to stumble or other cities but some no longer have i. D. s those who crossed and were caught by the greek authorities were often stripped of their i. D. s as well as their clothing and other belongings and were sent back sometimes naked or near naked and so they have no more papers and that is causing a lot of trouble for them as well in the e. U. Suddenly seems very nice said behind great efforts to secure the border what do you think will say next. Well i think that youre going to see a lot of back room talks turkey has its position they argue that the e. U. Has not held up its end of the bargain and they make a pretty decent argument in that with that regard the e. U. Says for example that theyve allocated the all of the 6000000000. 00 or 6000000000. 00 euros rather that they were supposed to under the 2016 deal to stem the flow of migrants through turkey thats a little bit of a tricky kind of wording there because although they have allocated they have to disperse half of it and turkey is frustrated by that and you know you go to brussels which i was in recently talking to some of the e. U. Officials theres absolutely no sense that this is a crisis its like number 4 on their middle east or north africa agenda. Before libya its below libya its below iran its below iraq even this Syrian Crisis and the turkish president recha type early on with this act of political theater i would call it is probably hoping to bring this higher up on the e. U. s agenda. Borzou daragahi. If an independent newspaper thanks very much. As take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. 2 members of the saudi royal family have been arrested for allegedly plotting to oust king solomon and his designated heir one is the former crown Prince Mohammed bin nayef the other is one of the cames brothers both have been charged with treason and. A u. S.

Will publish a hash it has scrapped plans to release the autobiography of filmmaker woody allen the move comes following criticism and a staff walkout over allegations allen molested his daughter the book was due to be released next month. The number of cases from the corona virus has topped 100000 worldwide in the u. S. To paypal have died from the virus in florida bringing the death toll in the u. S. To 17 a cruise ship with 3 and a half 1000 people on board has been bought from docking in San Francisco 21 people on board that ship tested positive for the virus and the south by southwest festival a major gathering of music film in azza vents in austin texas has been cancelled in Australia Health authorities said theyve closed a clinic and were contacting around 70 patients of a doctor whod been diagnosed with corona virus to race in returning from the us. Main while china has published figures that reveal the huge effect of the coronavirus on its trade with the rest of the world chinese exports would down more than 17 percent and imports fell 4 percent during january and february compared with the same period last year china was as also seeing a record decline in manufacturing output resulting from factory closures less than half the plants that closed were back up and running at the start of macho food imports to china also down sharply. For more about the financial impacts of corona im joined by cliff and co china expert and from our data are you business this cliff and thanks so much. Containment of the virus still seems quite a way off for saying if it is every day how markets reacting to this when markets dont like us for sure there are there china has been such an engine of growth now for the Global Economy for so many years. This has been the timing and the impact of the corona virus has been disastrous for china there are signs that the number of new infections is dropping has occasionally bored the markets during the week we saw the bus but theres still a sense that as we saw with these export figures an import figures trade is trade is still a very bad way and this is huge and for configurations everywhere we also have german figures this week which showed just how reliant germany is on on china so. Containment is more than just about the virus its also about containment of the damage to the Global Economy and thus in a very difficult position right now and of course the supply chain is a knock on effect of course so governments to try and counter that effect are rolling out stimulus packages is that the way to go it seems to be something that stephanie welcomed in the markets to try and spend the way out of trouble certainly to help contain the virus to put in best went into finding some way of keeping economies ticking over while this there are so many unknowns about the coronavirus that governments are looking for anything they can to try and keep a lid on things so it seems to be. Best a sensible approach anyway what about the political ramifications i sort of mean more domestically people people in china losing faith in their later well i think people remember back to sars in 2003 when the government tried to hide it and. Didnt go down very well domestically now were seeing with the with the coronavirus thought there were signs that initially they tried to do it but that they did try to hide things but now were seeing more that. The Chinese Government is really pushing it and it is trying to contain it so it may be that because they control the media that they can put a message out there that they are trying to do their best and that theyve been working on this since the beginning but you do see a lot of stuff in social media a lot of dissatisfaction the Chinese Government is all about stability so if it doesnt manage to communicate this message and convince people that it is the best option when it comes to 2 major catastrophes or black swans or whatever you want to call things like the corona virus then its going to have a problem on its hands yeah if it couldnt do you any business thanks very much for coming in. Well the head of the World Health Organization is calling on governments to pull out all the stops to combat the Virus OutbreakHealth Officials around the globe are scrambling to build a Robust Public Health response while research as a race to develop a vaccine has a closer look now at just how vaccines work the most effective way to prevent specific infections is to harness the bodys own immune system that scenes like those used to prevent flu are made from either a weakened version of a virus or pieces of its genetic code the vaccination puts the immune system on the alert it makes antibodies that help it respond quickly to the target virus if exposure occurs under ordinary circumstances it can take up to 5 years to develop a safe and effective vaccine but in a race against the Novel Coronavirus some labs have already begun testing candidates in animal models sounds promising does that mean well be seeing one in the next few months thats been implied. Were talking about a vaccine and theyre moving along very quickly all of the pharmaceutical companies are moving along very quickly but in Vaccine Development experts say quickly is relative if everything moves as quickly as possible the soonest that it could possibly be. A half to 2 years that still might be very optimistic in the meantime could antiviral drugs and at treating those who are already infected help the Development Curve for a new medicine is even steeper than for a vaccine that can easily take 10 years for a new pharmaceutical to gain Regulatory Approval and the industry claims it costs upwards of a 1000000000 euros around 9 out of 10 drug candidates never go into production they fail at some point during testing but theres also hope that some medicines that were originally developed to fight other diseases could be repurposed like a compound called rem does a fear that was originally planned as a treatment for ebola and was tested when a major epidemic had west africa back in 2013 though it didnt prove very effective against that disease the company says it does affect corona viruses and hence could help covert 19 patients disease experts say repurposed drugs originally developed to fight malaria or hiv also show promise Clinical Trials with all these compounds are ongoing.
