Handcuffs after he was found guilty of Sexual Assault and rape charges. More coronavirus deaths in china and a sharp rise in infections far beyond stoking fears that the global spread of the outbreak is entering a new stage stocks of fall and on worries the epidemic will have a lasting Economic Impact at least 9 people have died in south korea where there are almost 900 confirmed cases u. S. Forces there are considering scaling back their military exercises irans confirms 12 deaths while bahrain kuwait iraq oman and afghanistan have all reported infections the authorities in italy have sealed off the worst affected towns in the north of the country 7 people have died there and more than 200. 00 and now infected the highest concentration outside asia as for china numbers of new infections in areas outside of who bay province are for link but there have been another 71 deaths mostly in the epicenter lets go live now to adrian brown our correspondent in hong kong so adrian on stocks and shares 1st the markets clearly a lot more nervous than they were say just 7 days ago. Yeah this time last week the markets were really shrugging off this coronavirus but i think on choose day they started to become spooked alarmed by the idea that perhaps this outbreak was going to continue for another few weeks now the worst performing stock in japan where the market was down 4 and a half percent on the opening of trade on tuesday was toyotas another reason why toyota shares are doing so badly is that its been hit really hard by this virus it relies on spare parts made in factories in china and those factories are closed because of course the whole Global Supply chain has been severely disrupted not just for carmakers like toyota in south korea but also for big other corporations like nike and apple economists though do say that there is another reason dragging down the market right now and thats this you know china is the driver of Global Economic growth but also china has the fastest number of consumers in the world months of expanding middle class and theyre not spending at the moment theyre not travelling theyre not buying stuff so thats also hurting Investor Sentiment but once this thing is brought under control once the virus is contained then a lot of economists say theres going to be a huge sort of rebound because of all that kind of pent up demand and we see as well that theyre closing schools clearly the authorities in hong kong identifying areas where people come together and if youve ever been near a Primary School if you want to spread infection you go to a Primary School. Thats right the authorities here have announced that schools are going to remain closed until easter they also say they are making plans to bring home from who bay province some 2 and a half 1000 hong kong citizens whove been stranded there since really just after the Lunar New Year holidays now amongst the people they want to get back a pregnant woman and these people are trapped because of course they are spread out right across this province or not in one place most foreigners those who arent citizens of china anyway have been concentrated largely in the provincial capital but the hong kong people are scattered right across this province and so they have to work out how they can somehow get them to hand but of course that is difficult because public transport has been so badly disrupted people cant use private cars theres no public transport so what the what the government hasnt really said is how its actually going to get those people to a Central Point where they can be taken to the airport. Thanks very much rob mcbride joins us live from seoul so most of the cases in south korea still focused in this area this place called daegu whats the latest from there. I think its a measure of the urgency now that the government is giving to this evolving crisis the countrys president moon j. N. Is this tuesday afternoon in daegu seeing for himself the work that is being done there on trying to control the outbreak this daegu and its neighboring counties where weve seen the 2 major clusters which accountable most of the what the nearly 900 cases of corona virus that we currently have in south korea he has echoed the views of his ministers and officials who are saying that this week really is an Inflection Point as far as the control of the outbreak is concerned that if the authorities are going to contain it in this area rather than allowing it to spread and accepting the fact that it is spreading throughout the whole country then it will achieve that in the next few days so a very important time very crucial few days ahead the Prime Minister of south korea is being based down in daegu to oversee the efforts there were hearing that personnel from the police and the military are also being assigned to help in this effort we know that there is a shortage of medical staff the medical staff who are there have been working around the clock and an appeal has gone out for volunteers in the area to step up and staff these medical Testing Centers and all that also these special wards treating the people as they become sick and the whole the whole aim of course is to stop it spread and we do know there have been individual cases throughout south korea the whole object now is to stop any more larger clusters forming but there are some worrying trends we have know that in busan that is south koreas 2nd city there has been a cluster of cases in one another church a congregation 23. 00 people there and in a clinic just north of daegu there is also come from. Mation of another outbreak amongst the staff and patients that another 22. 00 cases have been found and thats in out of a total staff and patient headcount of 60 so thats a 3rd of all of the people in this clinic so those are worrying worrying trends ok rob thanks very much.

Moving on Donald Trumps on the last day of his visit to india the u. S. President and his wife melania have taken part in a wreath laying ceremony at Mahatma Gandhis memorial in new delhi the trips designed not only to boost ties and trade but also mr trumps reelection chances at home by appealing to Indian American voters trump has already announced indias planned purchase of 3000000000. 00 worth of u. S. Military helicopters. While the drum visit is going on as violence continues of indias contentious citizenship war 7 people have been killed and dozens were injured in new delhi during confrontations between groups supporting and opposing the legislation hundreds of muslim activists have been protesting against the war which they say discriminates against their community our correspondent tony burke joins us live this hour from new delhi so tony inferi the 2 men get down to business today. Yes theyre going to sign agreements that should be announced later on today were not expecting any great surprises with those basically it will done and dusted before president trunk came that was the 3000000000. 00 contract for helicopters deals on trade and tariffs and most of the things theyre still going on behind closed the closed doors but theyre not going to be achieving anything in this visit and that was made clear but its interesting that President Trump has happened very very happy with this pomp and circumstance of this visit hes basically continued this love in the started yesterday in ahmedabad and its very clear that there these 2 men Prime Minister modi and President Trump are getting on very very well its about business and its all also about defense and security because india plays a big part in this part of the world about defense and security considering the expansion of china in the South China Sea and into the indian ocean there needs to be a very Strong Defense strategy so these approaches of the helicopters are perhaps one of the 1st stages in india developing a closer military ties with the u. S. Arms but its interesting to see that when President Trump was laying the wreath at the memorial for Mahatma Gandhi thats less than 10 kilometers away from these scenes that have been happening in the capital overnight there was violence as we reported earlier and the death toll i can report now is up to 7 dead from those violent clashes in the northeast of delhi and about 160. 00 injured and perhaps that that toll is going to increase also has no mention by President Trump about any of these problems no mention about kashmir but we do understand that he has announced through local media that there will be in and showed your press conference at 5 pm local time today so perhaps he will take questions then answer some of these pressing matters about whats going on in india at the moment with these anti.
