The Lombardy Region of northern italy is in lockdown as more cases of the covert 19 coronavirus are confirmed could donya is effectively a ghost town after at least 3 people there tested positive for the virus the sudden spread has led local authorities to take swift action urging businesses schools and churches in several towns to close their doors several train stations are closed and tens of thousands of italians have been told to stay home as a precaution if. There is a high level of panic now wearing a mask is the right thing to do but i think there is too much paranoia plays now and if you treat is going too far thats an attack you put on a woman that if there is a lot of panic the situation maris us all we can do is wait and see what happens doctors suspect a hospital near cafe have helped spread the virus and theyre trying to limit the outbreak. To meet this. We are working to identify the people who came into direct contact with those who are confirmed to have the virus these tests weve done so far appear to show 3 more cases of the coronavirus the corona virus has spread to 8 countries in europe including germany france and the u. K. Catherine stansell aljazeera Samina Kausar franco is an Italian Journalist in venice there wall of the affected regions that she says there are fears about how the outbreak will affect the local economy. What were seeing here in venice is people out in the street for carnival but effectively in the town where there has been one dead person invent it the situation is very different and the same goes for the towns that you were mentioning that are in a lockdown many streets are empty as you heard on the report before i mean there will be no sunday masses there will be no sunday soccer matches public gatherings demonstrations ive just not going to be allowed to be held and the authorities have told the residents as southwest of milan to stay indoors and so were talking at least 50000. 00 residents who are basically staying at home at this stage that the governor of the venator region has even suggested suspending all Carnival Events which of course this is a very big month procon of all events here in venice and there are the governor along that he has also asked for Counter Measures and is very concerned about the economy and has asked the Prime Minister to deal with this because he feels there may be repercussions on the economy with people not going to work well in iran 2 cities are on lockdown little thought he is the border trains and buses to be cleaned daily of the bugs into probably explains what other measures the government is taking. The government has been announcing some measures to deal with this virus now we know that all cultural events concerts including Film Screenings have been canceled from tomorrow in the cities of iraq the schools are closed for a week the religious schools in calm where the Health Ministry thinks that this virus started from again closed tomorrow now on state t. V. They have been showing videos on how to wear the face masks properly and how people can wash their hands properly now iraq has also suspended flights between the 2 countries iran has closed its land borders between the 2 countries and thats only been only open for a week after they have been closed for 4 months because of insecurity in the protests that were taking pace in iraq iran doesnt think it was safe for the pilgrims to travel but now again those borders are closed we know that kuwait are suspended flights between the 2 countries now there is concern out on the streets of that ron we saw people Wearing Masks we saw people questioning the governments account and also asking how many people actually affected they dont really trust the government and partly due to when that Ukrainian Airline over shutdown the government spent 3 days deny again people are suspicious but yes the schools are closed the cemeteries are closed concerts Film Screenings everything has been closed now to stop large numbers of people congregating. There is to decide which democrat will take hold the u. S. President all trying to develop a selection has resumed in nevada the same story vers population could reveal which candidate appeals to voters amongst minority communities all turns of thousands of people participated in early voting suggesting a record turnout is expected well senator Bernie Sanders is going into the nevada caucus on saturday with a slight momentum after his win in New Hampshire democrats are meeting in schools libraries and casinos to show their support for a particular candidate the harder the. Its the 1st state in the west of the u. S. To hold the caucus on the 1st with a sizable hispanic population the a 3rd of its residents identify as a spy they call it tino and winning here will help hispanic voters in states like california and texas on super tuesday next month democrats will have 7 options but one name that wont deal but its just Michael Bloomberg his campaign didnt file in time to participate in the caucus lets cross over to rob reynolds whos in Las Vegas Nevada and those results just slowly trickling in what source of results are we seeing at the moment well its still too close to call so hale only about 10 percent of the total reallocated caucus votes are in but everything is looking like this is going to be a very good night for Bernie Sanders he is leading well ahead of his nearest rival former Vice PresidentJoe Biden Sanders maintained a very Strong Organization here in nevada helped by a small army of young and enthusiastic volunteers and so confident was he sanders that is of victory in nevada that he actually skipped the victory parties here hes in texas where hes held several rallies texas of course is one of the many delegate rich states that will hold their primaries on super tuesday in early march here is what senator Bernie Sanders had to say in remarks to one of those rallies. We can win the texas primary we can win the democratic nomination we can defeat donald trump. And we can transform this country looks good thank you the old and of course in going into those super tuesday contests a victory in nevada will give Bernie Sanders some momentum as for his and nearest rival former Vice President joe biden hes in 2nd place currently im in again many votes to remain to be counted hes hoping to do well in the South Carolina primary which happens in a weeks time and as for the other candidates well theyre going to have to try to hang on somehow until super tuesday but then they will face not only the sanders momentum but the vast amount of money that Mike Bloomberg the former mayor in new york and billionaire is pouring into those states so hell for the moment trump thanks very much and of course well join you through the day of course to see how those results pan out lets cross over to las vegas as well anyway because Amy Klobuchar who is also one of the candidates there is speaking now lets hear what she has to say the people in the middle the people that are tired mud slinging and the name calling well have a place to call home this november and that has been our mission from the beginning so if youre working 2 jobs but still struggling to choose between medicine and rent you have a home with me if youre frightened for your kids safety and sick of n. R. A. Lobbyist blocking gun violence. Then you have a home with me if youre trying to raise a family and tired of corporate titans lining their pockets. While you are selling the holes in yours you have a home with me and if you think it is shameful that an american can be stopped and profiled because of the color of his skin if youre sick of a president that sees diversity as a weakness rather than our countrys great strength then you have a home with me. Which other one of the candidates. Fighting you might say for public support in las vegas certainly fighting talk there lets bring in Michael Fauntroy hes the acting director of the ronald walkers walters leadership and Public Policy center at Howard University joins us again on the program good to have you with us again amy club which are speaking there obviously Bernie Sanders also fighting the good fight this is a very important state really to make your mark in before you move on to the carolinas to texas to california. Absolutely indeed if you can make the case. And have a strong showing a better then you really can make the case around the country that you can reach a very wide ranging kinds of voters because nevada is much closer to the wider range of americans and a particular state or New Hampshire and so for Bernie Sanders that this appears to line up to be a really good day for him because theres still a lot of people who have doubts about his National Ability and he can make the case now i think Going Forward that he has the strongest case there when the nomination now of course was still very early in all of this even after next week in South Carolina only 4 percent of all of the Democratic Convention delegates will have been allocated but Bernie Sanders at this point looks to have the momentum in terms of the margin of victory that any one candidate needs or the gene between candidates in caucuses like nevada how important is that at the moment in terms of the Democratic Caucus nationally deciding who theyre going to vote for who they think could rival and fight the good fight against double trump. Well in the matter im not sure that there is a particular number that indicative of it of anything but as we go deeper into the caucus. Of the primary calendar there may well be a margin of error that speaks more toward who has the best option Going Forward than than it might otherwise. Be the case what i will say though is for someone like joe biden the Vice President out of state if hes not able to show or have a strong showing here in the next week in South Carolina and beyond then for him margin of defeat if you will the margin of victory will tell a lot really big story because he is somebody who has all of the name recognition he has all of the endorsements and if he can translate that into significant support Going Forward theres going to be difficult for him to continue it is going to be difficult to continue some of the candidates could we see some of them drop out from this. From nevadas race or will lay old do you think continue to South Carolina next week i dont see anyone dropping out after nevada id be surprised if there were more than 2 more than one maybe but after South Carolina i think well have a good sense of who the top 4 candidates are if you will and from that point on certainly super tuesday i think will be dispositive texas and california are the 2 largest states in the country in terms of democratic delegates will have cast ballots and we will know at this point who is the real front runner and if there is anyone else who has a chance to challenge the person going for a free ticket good to get your insights michael thanks so much for joining us Michael Fauntroy the in washington d.

Have a morgan reports from juber there are still more issues to sort out. People are looking up to the government to see what kind of change they can bring and weve seen this the newly sworn in Vice President cheney direct machar and the countrys president holding several meetings over the past few days saying clearly that there are still a lot of outstanding issues the most prominent being the issues of security arrangements but they say that after the swearing in and after the formation of the Transitional Government and appointment of cabinet ministers then they will tackle those issues so people on the street and countrywide are looking to the government to solve the issue of the economies that i was facing high inflation as a result of the years of conflict in the country theres also the issue of the humanitarian crisis more than half of the country so 1000000 population are in need of food aid to survive so these are the things or rather the challenges that this Transitional Government will have to tackle in the coming 3 years before they go on to elections the number one guarantee has to be basically the goodwill of the 2 sides but if youre looking at what kind of pressure.
