Also coming up through the course of the next hour, we will be looking at european markets which has taken a sharp tumble. Paris has lost more than 3 , the german dax too. We will find out why with our business editor. We will take a train trip to get away the from it all, a trip that could be the next big trouble destination iran. The talks have been planned and cancel before, but the chief executive of hong kong says he is now ready to speak with protesters as early as next week. The breakthrough comes as the protests of the streets in hong kong in its third week. Here is what the chief executive had to say this morning. The most constructive thing that the Hong Kong Government can offer the students is to sit down and listen to the students what we can do together, within the framework position of the National Peoples congress. The Hong Kong Special Administration Region cannot make something that is not in the basic law possible. The announcement comes after two days of scuffles on the street with hong kong between protesters and police. How is that announcement going to go down in beijing, though . That is the question we are putting to our beijing correspondent joining us live from the chinese capital. It was a fairly measured announcement made by the chief executive of hong kong but one in which he did mention the possibility of dialogue around the democratic reforms. How is that being taken where you are . Van beijing has a serious position, reiterating a statement saying many times that these protests are illegal and that protesters should be punished accordingly. He has also implied and Chinese State media has explicitly said that these protests have western backing, so severely the backing of the United States, that there is money coming from the United States and some hong kong legislators that ngos or nongovernment organizations are organizing these protests and that allows very little room for compromise. Another interesting thing to come out of Mainland China in terms of state news Media Coverage is state news Media Coverage has drawn analogies and compared these protests to the Color Revolution which happened in the former countries of the soviet union. This analogy, some experts believe this is very dangerous because it allows no room for negotiation, it portrays these protesters as enemies of the Chinese Government and allows almost no room for compromise. It means that the Chinese Government thinks these protesters are really revolutionaries and want to challenge chinas rule. And so possibly a hardening in the line from beijing. Also weve seen some western coverage of the hong kong protests curtailed or censored. It is what the bbc has been covering about hong kong. That is right bbcs website was recently blocked and of course china blocks websites frequently. Bbcs website has been blocked before, but it has been almost a complete news blackout here. Instagram is blocked, the photo sharing service that many people use, vpns or Virtual Private Networks to connect to the internet, those have been having trouble. I have been having trouble with my email. Anytime cnn or the bbc or a western network will broadcast images of the hong kong protest the screen will go to blacks, so it is very difficult here for the average chinese citizen to get any information from a western source about what is happening in hong kong. Shannon van sant story is live from beijing, thank you very much indeed. The warning this morning is of a major food crisis if the Ebola Outbreak continues to grow over the coming months according to global famine warning system. U. N. Agencies are scribbling to help. Already in west africa that are an estimated 750,000 people in need of food who have not been reached by eight coming from the u. N. Much of the help so far has been focused on treating the outbreak itself. In love liberia, u. S. Applies ebola Treatment Centers. The library and in u. S. Military sidebyside setting up ebola treatment units or etus. Liberia is at the epicenter of the outbreak in west africa. Many of the countrys own Treatment Centers are overcrowded by patient sleeping on the floor. These etus are the centerpiece of the u. S. Effort being erected across the country with the 20 including 100 beds. They should provide much needed relief to thousands of patients. It has taken about two weeks to get to this stage, maybe another two weeks to be fully operational. We are building 17 etus, supporting throughout the country. Some u. S. Military officials hope all 17 etus will be set up by midnovember but heavy rains have push that date back several weeks and it is a race against the clock for the u. S. Efforts to unfold. Washington has said to spend up to 14,000 personnel and they are setting up ebola testing labs, cutting the time it takes for people to know if they are infected from the disease from days to hours. There are only for such labs in the entire country. The washington has agreed to be more effective after a second has contracted the virus in dallas. Agencies canceled a planned trip to hold urgent talks with officials on the outbreak. Here is what he had to say at the start of this tour. We are going to make sure the cement like this is not repeated in that we are monitoring, supervising overseeing in a much more aggressive way exactly what is taking place in dallas initially and making sure that the Lessons Learned are then transmitted to hospitals and clinics all across the country. Here in france, new checks have been put in place from friday from the Health Minister announcing that passengers arriving at the airport from new guinea would be screened even as they stepped off the plane measures that could be taken europewide and that will be discussed in the European Parliament today. Many special measures, and extra screenings come up until wednesday this notice to watch up for symptoms of ebola have been the procedure in paris, but france has since changed his mind. On thursday, the french Health Minister announced new measures to attack the deadly virus. We have a twopoint plan taking the temperatures of passengers on the walkway before they enter the airport and the distribution of questionnaire so that we can find these people if we ever need to contact them afterwards. Across the channel, the United Kingdom expanded its measures from the major air hubs to smaller airports in the euro star will rail rate terminal. Passengers who have traveled from high risk countries answer a questionnaire and have their temperature taken. Symptoms of ebola resemble the flu and include fever, severe headache, muscle plane, vomiting and stomach pain and can take up to three weeks to manifest themselves, making the virus hard to detect. On thursday, meps and brussels will debate introducing airport screenings across europe. To syria now where Islamic State militants are said to be retreating from strategic parts of kobani according to kurdish officials. Kurdish officials have of course been backing the militants on the ground in the last couple of weeks. For its part, the pentagon says hundreds of militants have been killed there as a result of the intensification of usled air strikes that indeed over the town has been hit by no fewer than 39 strikes and hundreds of fighters have now been killed. Smoke fills the sky line of kobaniai. American led forces have intensified and according to the pentagon, the aerial campaign has succeeded in slowing down their advance. Kurdish fighters have retaken few districts. Now they are working in clear contact with american pilots giving them the coordinates of Islamic State militants. They have continued to flow fighters to kobani, many there are more targets in and around kobani so you are seeing more strife there because there are more isil there. We believe we have killed several hundred isil fighters again in and around kobani. Despite the air flights kobani could still fall as it still controls a most happy the city. The pentagon warned again on wednesday that the campaign was in its early stages and the ups and downs in the months to come were to be expected. Be careful about assigning a winner or a loser. We had come in early with the intention that the airstrikes were to buy white space to impede the tactical momentum of isil, and that in fact has occurred in some areas. They still retain some type will momentum in other areas set other areas like iraq, which has made essential gains moving toward the capital of baghdad dog we had now to iraq where the country has been dealing not just with the advance of the evolving state organization forces over the last month but over the last few weeks a growing influx of syrian kurds fleeing the Islamic State organization in towns like kobani. Conditions are becoming increasingly difficult in the refugee cancer and the North Country done in the Refugee Centers in the North Country. They have left weeks ago to escape the Islamic State Group Fighters satellite the first stop turkey, but these refugees were allowed to stay there. We left on most everything. We do not have anything that we walked here and faced many problems on the way. It was difficult to get here. I swear to god it was our decision to leave three days of war came and i am very tired. A week ago, this refugee camp housed only a handful of people but the last few days have seen 6000 refugees arrive at the camp near the northern iraqi town according to the u. N. This is the beginning of what we believe is going to be a huge catastrophe. We are expecting 50,000, maybe more than 100,000 people coming in. Children will make up half of those new arrivals. Unaccounted for after a massive snowstorm caused the lives of more than 29 people according to the latest figures released on army and civilian rescue workers say the number of those missing is based on the registered climate in the area may not actually reflect the brill numbers of those in danger.

Global markets have been volatile for the last few weeks that the Global Economic recovery is faltering, seeming to become to a head in the session you might say. We just heard from the European Union they will continue to help greece and whatever ways are necessary to support its economy.

Kate moody, thank you very much. It is 1 21 paris time. It is time not to take a look at what is grabbing headlines in the weekly news magazines. A lot of focus on the spread of ebola and the growing feeling of panic in many western countries. That is right, there is a call for calm this week talking about it is urgent not to panic and ive pulled together articles from across the world that are try to reassure readers, especially in the west for instance the american weekly Popular Mechanics goes it like student explained that ebola is not that contagious within a wellinformed population and it is also well equipped medically. I spent a lifetime focusing on the case of nigeria, where there is little or no risk of contracting ebola. Since july the country which has a population of 170 million, had only registered 20 cases of ebola and it is days away from being declared ebola free by the world health organization. How is this happening . What is nigerias response and how is it working . Courrier International Says it is centered around worldclass epidemiological detective work, and that is why it is working so effective in fact that the American Center for Disease Control and prevention has sent a team to nigeria to see just how they are working. The magazine says the hope is that a lot of other countries are going to follow these methods. Price we go to the american magazine the atlantic, florence. This is a very interesting article i recommend reading it asks the question what is black america were a country . The very concept of black america is a very controversial idea that has been debated for decades, but the atlantic carries out this thought experiment if black america were a nationstate, how would it compare to other countries . How would a fair on standard measures of National Power and weakness . The atlantic has done calculations graphs, charts, very interesting, and the results are fascinating. For instance, like americas gdp would be 46th richest country in the world, so how to you compare these results and what did they tell us . According to the atlantic, statistics reveal that black america is a fragile state that is embedded within the greatest superpower the will has ever known, so basically a brings to light a lot of inequalities in america. Over to france, papers are focusing here on the governments 2015 budget. That is recommend that budget was sent to the European Commission this week, and the European Commission even before it received the budget said it was probably going to reject the budget and fine france unless the government carries out some serious spending cuts in other tightening reforms. The rightleaning magazine here in france wonders what in the world is the government up to that is it going to reform, when as a going to reform, how is it going to reform, and you can see some key players here at the top of the government, you have for us while on, prime minister, but also the economy minister they look kind of mischievous in this photo, and he wonders what game are they playing. Whatever game theyre playing le poi says they are not doing it well in their contradicting each other. And florence, this is nothing to do with politics or does it . It might, le poi is focusing on jealous people, not people who are just a little envious of their neighbors these are people that are so jealous it is a sickness, and le point says jealousy can be a motor for growth, for success because people compare themselves to their neighbors and they want the same car, a bigger car, a bigger house etc. So you have to get your dose of jealousy rights, and le point takes a look at and takes a look at famous jealous people across history looking at cain, who was so jealous of his brother abel that he killed him a comment and elizabeth taylor, who was also a famous jealous people according to le point.
