Heaven tell me to get in wednesday passionate words from kobe bryants widow at a memorial for the basketball legend and her daughter giana killed in a Helicopter Crash along with 7 others last month. Welcome to the program the World Health Organization says its deeply concerned by the sudden increase in corona virus cases outside of china 3 main clusters of infections are growing in the middle east europe and asia iran has confirmed 12 deaths there and has denied reports that the toll could be much higher kuwait is also among several countries in the region reporting their 1st infections Kuwait Civil Aviation Authority says its temporarily barring flights from dubai in sharjah as a protective measure Kuwait NationalDay Celebrations scheduled for tuesday have now been cancelled. In europe meanwhile 7 people have now died in northern italy which has more than 220 cases the highest concentration outside of asia and the u. S. And south korea say theyre considering scaling back joint military exercises after 13 korean soldiers tested positive for the virus in total 893. 00 cases have now been confirmed in south korea at least 8 people have died there well the head of the World Health Organization says that despite the continued spread the outbreak can still be beaten for the moment we have not weakness see the uncontained globally spread of this virus and we are not witnessing largest gives if it does or does does this virus have pandemic potential absolutely it has and we vary it from our assessment not yet but the key message that should give all countries hope courage and confidence is that this virus can be contained indeed there are many countries that have done exactly that well shortly well cross to south Koreas Capital where our correspondent rob mcbride is standing by with the latest on deaths and infections there but 1st lets get more from katrina you in the Chinese Capital beijing on new numbers of infected being released from china katrina new numbers have been given out now from Chinas Health ministry what more have they been saying there. Thats right so weve just heard in the recent hours that they have been 508 new cases across china now thats not a final number are going to hear more of the next few hours been more provinces do report but that that number is already up from the day before yet yesterday we had just over 400 cases so that is slightly up but still the government here is is emphasizing the general downward trend so another new number we had is 71 deaths compared with 150 yesterday and only 9 cases outside of who a province compared with 11 cases yesterday and conversely were seeing. More people recovering from the corona virus here in china more than 2000 people are said to have been recovered from this and then that number is continuing to surpass new confirmed cases so Chinese Government is very much saying that the containment measures that they have put in place locking down the province of they saying that those measures have worked and that sentiment has been very much eckerd by the World Health Organization who gave a press conference in beijing on monday evening saying that it was very much thanks to these a bold moves china has made that this seems to be contained and the World Health OrganizationWorld Health Organization says in china that indeed it seems that there is a decline and thats it the outbreak has peaked but of course officials in have said that theyre the epicenter of the outbreak its still very much a grim situation we still have 10000 people in Critical Condition 4000 people waiting to be diagnosed and 3000 medical staff themselves have been infected and we actually. Heard that there were 3 doctors who lost their lives in recent days or still a very serious situation in china definitely in who a province an asian stock markets have taken a tumble katrina clearly the virus has rattled the markets. Thats right so this morning we saw china in china in shanghai and change in the market dropped about 8. 8 percent one percent in australia just over one percent independent that took the biggest tumble when markets open there it dropped as d much as 3. 00 but now its kind of stabilized around the 2. 9 percent mark but south korea actually recovered and is starting to stabilize it went up by one percent back from yesterday when it plunged 4 percent on news that korea south korea was on high alert so not as big as a drop as we saw in the u. S. Markets but definitely investors are rattled especially at concerns that this could turn into a Global Pandemic but it seems sort of all of that at least investors in china and in south korea have confidence in their governments ability to contain this and theyre not really selling their stocks as much as weve seen in north america all right to katrina you there in beijing if you know thank you lets cross have a now to the south korean capital seoul and talk to rob mcbride reports that both the u. S. And south korean militaries are considering scaling back their joint training exercises juta the coronavirus what more can you tell us the. There had been reports that the exercises they traditionally take place these spring exercises between south korean and u. S. Forces in march would actually be postponed but the military here in south korea is denying that but it does look likely that they will be scaled down obviously the military would be concerned about putting forces together in close proximity with each other its not the kind of thing you want to be doing when you do have an epidemic and when you have the country on the highest level of disease alert so it does that likely it will be scaled down of course these exercises have been scaled down over the past couple of years as weve seen this dialogue take place between north korea south korea and the United States there are more command and control simulation type exercises rather than boots on the ground but it does look likely to be further scaled back the military is very concerned about infections running through its military bases both the u. S. Forces down south Korean Forces and we have several 100 soldiers in a quarantine in isolation having made contact with other people who have been found to be infected and just yesterday monday we had the 1st confirmed case of a u. S. Relative of u. S. Personnel being confirmed to be carrying the corona virus and rob south korea now has the largest number of confirmed cases outside of china just bring us up to date now whats been happening there the bigger picture. Thats right the other figures just released in the last hour or so show that theres a further 60 cases so they have a total of 1893. 00 confirmed coronavirus cases in south korea and of course the country is no dealing with a growing list of territories and countries who are putting travel restrictions on south korea or some like 13 or 14 that the latest to join has been hong kong with a travel ban on visitors nonresident visitors arriving from south korea theres also restrictions imposed by taiwan we know of course that there are hundreds of south korean visitors and tourists on their way back to south korea having been turned away all rounded up and put on planes from israel and weve just heard in the last hour or so that in fact the United States has now advised against all nonessential travel to south korea so very troubling situation just finally the National Assembly has been closed today because a senior lawmaker there was found to be infected and as we speak the whole National Assembly building is basically being disinfected teams wandering around hosing down the place. In seoul rob thank you well coronavirus fears have triggered a share market selloff across Major Economies the tokyo stock exchanges opened a short while ago with a drop of 3. 5 percent and earlier the u. S. Stock market registered biggest fall in over a year with the Dow Jones Industrial average losing over a 1000 points so lets get more now from christine salumi in new york.
