More coronavirus deaths in china and a sharp rise in infections far beyond the stoking fears that the global spread of the outbreak is entering a new stage stock markets to fall in on worries the epidemic will have a lasting Economic Impact at least 10 people have died in south korea with or almost 900 confirmed cases u.

Well peter i think what is happening right now especially in south korea is what the World Health Organization fears most a virus that is spreading more quickly than they are able to contain and you could also argue that is very much the situation in both iran and italy right now now in south korea the the infection rate is now about to approach is fast approaching you know the 1000. 00 mark and the focus of containment efforts on choose day was this religious group which has been identified as the source of the operate now this group has more than 200000. 00 members its huge and the authorities are now saying that each member of that church now has to be screened and that is going to be obviously a very lengthy process across the border in china yes more deaths on tuesday 71. 00 but thats a lot less than say 2 weeks ago but no sign yet of you know the infection rate stabilizing in any way here in hong kong the government has announced that schools which have already been closed for more than a month ago to remain closed for another month so thats going to be in a lot of states disruption for parents and also we have seen more disruption on stock markets across the region especially the nikkei index in tokyo that was down more than 3 percent shares falling particularly for toyota the reason for that is that the japanese car manufacturer is very reliant on chinese suppliers and of course the virus has disrupted the Global Supply chain theres also a lot of Investor Sentiment and concern about Consumer Spending in china because china is not just a driver of Global Economic growth its also has people who are big spenders and they are not spending at the moment and theyre not traveling either so investors are very spooked by the. Aaron brown reporting live from hong kong for us this. Many thanks well as a dream is mentioning there theres also a dynamic to this story in iran our correspondent in tehran this big joins us live here on aljazeera as it whats the picture where you are and what are the authorities whats mr rouhani been saying about it. Well president Hassan Rouhani has been speaking this morning and he even seem to downplay the spread of the virus or hes trying to get people to calm down now what he said is that the spread of the chrono virus is not as bad as the spread of the flu virus that the country has faced in the past he said yes he acknowledged that it is different but people should remain calm and not panic and follow the Health Ministrys advice meanwhile the extraordinary route between that member of parliament a meter by the from the epicenter of the spread of this virus between him and the Health Ministry continues now yesterday he denied he said that the figures of dead which is 12 yesterday 15 today by the Health Ministry are wrong he said 50 people had died he made a scathing attack on the government and the handling of the spread of the coronavirus he said that their performance was near 0 he also said that the virus had been present in iran for 3 weeks but the government had not made people aware of that fact and that they had basically accusing them of a cover up that this morning hes made further statements that he said how is the Health Ministry denying the people that are being buried in the cemeteries of whom he said that the doctors he claims that doctors are writing down the cause of death causes of death as a response to true problems but the Health Ministry knows that these individuals that are dying are coming out of the quarantine ward for the corona virus and he has tagged there on twitter as the voice of calm and transparency meanwhile here in the run weve been seeing more people very masks more people wearing gloves schools and universities remain closed public concerts for matches still cancelled and increasingly people are concerned they are scared and they are questioning the official government account and that government account says that 15 people have died 61 people are infected also the flights have been suspended amman has suspended. There flights he afghanistan iraq the land border between iraq and iran is now closed iranians are not panicking there isnt a state of panic but many people that ive spoken to one to get out of the country or to stay in their homes said thanks very much u. S. President on from says hes optimistic a comprehensive trade deal with india will be reached as he was wrapping up his 2 day visit he held talks with the indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi 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 another major focus of my discussions with Prime Minister modi is forging bilateral economic relationships that is fair and reciprocal our teams have made tremendous progress on a comprehensive trade agreement and i am optimistic we can reach a deal that will be of great importance to both countries that have both sort of caught on the beach and he had the relationship between the United States and india it is not just limited to the 2 governments it is people driven and people centric it is the most Important Partnership of the 21st century President Trump and i have had discussions to raise it to a comprehensive global and Strategic Partnership my colleague elizabeth ranum joins us live from new delhi solis i mean some people are saying look in the scheme of things 3000000000. 00 worth of helicopters thats pretty modest but the direction of travel for the relationship as far as both men are concerned i guess is in the right direction. Right peter and that is what this visit is seen to be about because as you say 3000000000. 00 as far as military equipment goes is not a lot but theyre playing that up close defense and security ties and donald trump keeps saying they buy 3000000000 dollars worth of the tree equipment because we havent heard a lot else substantial from this visit have donald trump was saying that you know they have made great progress on trade and trade is the biggest Sticking Point between these 2 countries its been very tense on trade 2018 saw rounds of brutality a true tariffs and although donald trump says that theyve made great progress well the u. S. Trade representative robert light highs they didnt actually come to india as planned ahead of Donald Trumps visit because of reports that they werent making any progress and yet donald trump says that they are going to work on the you know yesterday he said the biggest and best trade deal and today Prime Minister in that into more decent that they call this minister is going to get to work on that so thats trade no progress on this visit and that is why you have donald trump talking up the 3000000000 dollar defense deal so much nonetheless you know these 2 leaders who are very fond of each other weve seen that in the past when donald trump welcome to Prime Minister more along with 50000 Indian Americans and Houston Texas in september last year i think that was the biggest audience any foreign leader of a seat in america and yesterday when donald trump visited the 1st u. S. President to go to prominence to that in the modis home state of gujarat he was welcomed 5825000 people and i think thats thats the highlight of this visit so certainly for them. There is clearly a move between the 2 men the both populist politicians american analysts are saying look it makes mr trump look good as far as what florida 5000000 Indian Americans are concerned but domestically in india does this visit make mr moody look good to his constituency as well. It does make him look good to his constituency although his constituency like donald trump in america it doesnt matter what he does he looks good to them but you know those indians and also Indian Americans who like promised a more like President Trump and so this does you know really the visit looks good for both of their audiences and again donald trump this is his 1st foreign visit since his impeachment trial you know its hard to imagine him going to another country right now and getting the kind of reception that he did if the both both of them talked a lot and have spoken a lot again about their shape shared values but you know one thing that we did hear from watch house officials because they both talk so much about their democratic credentials and how both the countries is so diverse and they have unity and diversity but the Prime Minister mori and his hindu nationalist part of the agenda party have come under so much criticism for that citizenship nor that they passed which discriminates against muslims and white house officials said that this is something that President Trump will bring up with Prime Minister modi we havent heard that yet. But we are waiting to see that something that will come up even if it doesnt come up between the 2 leaders they are taking questions from journalists and a little bit later on in the day so well be watching for that Peter Elizabeth many thanks liz peron there reporting live from new delhi.
