S. Response from washington d. C. And now the u. S. Has accused iran of covering up information about the coronavirus the u. S. Secretary of state has called on countries to tell the truth about the growing outbreak what else did i have to say. Mike pump aoe the u. S. Secretary of state holding a press conference at the state department the last few hours for the 1st time pointing the finger very sharply at iran and also at china quite a departure from the the rhetoric coming out of this Administration Early on when this outbreak 1st occurred the knish really applauding china for its transparency now saying just the opposite saying that there has been no transparency or that there has been limited transparency and even accusing both nations of potentially not being truthful about the numbers urging both nations and in fact all nations to be transparent about the numbers and also to work with International Aid organizations to contain the spread further to china permitted its own foreign journalists and medical personnel to speak and investigate freely chinese officials and other nations would have been far better prepared to address the challenge similarly the United States is deeply concerned by information indicating the Iranian Regime may have suppressed vital details about the outbreak in that country as of yesterday afternoon around with 2nd only to china and coronavirus deaths all nations including iran should tell the truth about the coronavirus and cooperate with International Aid organizations. Now in the midst of all of this is the u. S. President wraps up his trip to india he is trying to quell fears inside the United States saying that his administration has things very much under control but i can tell you theres a lot of skepticism particularly as his administration briefs lawmakers on capitol hill they are asking questions not only about what a vaccine could be ready being told that it could still be more than a year away but also considering the emergency funding request from the Top Administration some 2500000000 dollars what members of the president s own Republican Party are calling wholly an adequate in fact top democrat saying that the response so far by the administration has been in their view incompetent can they how could they live from washington d. C. Thank you well highest concentration of cases outside of a series and initially. Joins us from nic in the north of the country a moment just in the past to believe our also weve seen an official tally come out and theres been a somewhat spike in the numbers what more can you tell us. You know thats right kim were actually back in milan now we spent several hours outside of that quarantined area the center of the operate is that town you mentioned could dont you know and in fact 3 of the latest cases of people who died from the corona virus are all from that from the slim body region in the north 2 of them from the town of could dont you know all of the 3 victims people over the age of 80 now every few hours today it seems that there has been another spike in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases just in the past hour weve heard now the number is 320 to 10 dead and now again we must remind our viewers its not exactly a surprise that the numbers continue to go up because weve repeatedly heard from officials the past few days that its expected that the numbers will rise and thats because Health Officials here are taking more proactive measures to try to test people and to try and diagnose the corona virus so they are expecting that we will continue to hear about a rise in the number of cases now also in the past hour there was a meeting held between European Health ministers in rome and also officials with the World Health Organization to try to figure out some kind of consensus on how to contain the virus from spreading further we heard from from italys Health MinisterRoberto Speranza he told assembled media we agreed to keep borders open speaking about borders in europe and borders from italy to other countries closing borders he said would be a disproportionate and ineffective measure at this time all that being said though the level of alarm here is continuing to rise we spoke to residents from those d affected areas throughout the day they are concerned the measures to try to contain the virus may not be as effective as the government is trying to claim that they are and because of that theyre worried about what exactly is going to happen next weve been told by residents in towns around dont you know that its a very difficult for them to get so. Applies that they can only go to a couple of Grocery Stores in the area at specific times the supplies are running out so there is concern people are trying not to panic but at the same time they are worried that perhaps the situation is worse than they are being told him. Live from milan thank you the outbreak is affecting Investor Confidence in asia its threatening to disrupt Global Supply chains and jim brown has more from hong kong. On monday the w. H. O. Said that they didnt feel it was necessary to declare a pandemic at the moment but they are concerned that many countries simply arent prepared for that eventuality and that sentiment has been feeding into Investor Confidence here in asia markets in tokyo and hong kong were both down on choose day shares in Car Manufacturers have been falling thats of course because many of them are reliant on chinese suppliers and many chinese firms factories remain closed theyve been closed now for more than a month and they could remain closed for several more weeks because of course the the Global Supply chain has been thrown into chaos in that vein the french finance minister today has been talking about this he said that the virus had been a game changer for globalisation and that it was time to rethink the Global Supply chains because he said it would be in his words unreasonable and unthinkable for that to happen in other words for the world to continue relying on china in the way that it has particularly for things Like Pharmaceuticals now state media in china is reporting that china could begin testing a new vaccine in several weeks they say that a professor at a university in the northeast of the country has been experimenting with a vaccine hes taken for oral doses with no side effects but other experts have been saying in the past couple of weeks that actually we are several months off from a vaccine being developed because of course a new vaccine would require extensive Clinical Trials to ensure that it was safe and also affect it. Plenty more ahead on the news on including one striving syrian areas have become ghost towns as the Government Presses on with a major offensive. The furnace is could go call that europes only nickel and spectrum. And in sports well hear from the changes in tennis star you standards for players in the arab or. Muslim mubarak the egyptian president who was forced from power during the arab spring uprisings has died aged 91 he passed away in a cairo hospital where he had recently undergone surgery the current president sisi is among those offering tributes to mubarak or a better man looks back on the late egyptian role as life and legacy. Both mubarak maintained a firm grip on power in egypt 3 decades. Until finally in 2011 the people had in the millions took to the streets hundreds of killed but after 18 days this. President Mohamed Hosni mubarak has the cited wave the office of the president of the public. Reacted as they heard the news that brought the man with an iron fist down. The military council took the reins of power but it was from the bullet train the mubarak had originally risen to power. A former chief in 1973 he led an air campaign the regain the Sinai Peninsula from israel it has been a humiliating loss in the 967 war president anwar sadats made him vice president. Mubarak was just meters away from sadat when he was shot dead in 1990. 8 days later. Became president overseas immediately he implemented emergency laws giving the state sweeping powers of arrest and cousin basic freedoms that would remain in place for his entire presidency there were a number of assassination attempts like this one during a visit to ethiopia in the mid 990 s. Nearly 60 people were killed in luxor. Mubarak cracked down on rounding up thousands of suspects from the inside many egyptians considered his rule oppressive although he won 4 elections there were allegations of fraud but he continued to impress mattie in the Global Political arena as he made International Diplomacy a cornerstone of his rule. To secure a steady flow of oil supplies into World Markets and brokered deals between the palestinians and the israelis the americans enlisted support of 2 major allies saudi arabia and egypt the saudi kingdom use its financial power and egypt under mubarak use its political leverage to influence arab League Decisions the strategy paid off and he received crucial u. S. Military aid with billions of dollars. But unflinching western support from a bark soon faded with the arab spring began mubarak was arrested and charged with corruption and abuse of power in 2012 he was sentenced to life in prison for failing to stop the killing of hundreds of protesters after a retrial mubarak was acquitted in 2017. But his legacy has endured with the current regime led by another military figure. Using similar hardline tactics to crackdown on dissent in order to stay in power. Several leaders have reacted to mubaraks death the countrys current president sadat r. C. C. Praised the barks role during the 1973 conflict with israel which he called a war that restore dignity and pride to the arab nation. Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas praised mubaraks support for the palestinian cause the Palestinian People in achieving their freedom and independence and israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu held mubarak as a great leader theirs were. On behalf of the people of israel i wish to express deep sorrow over the death of president Hosni Mubarak he was a personal friend of mine a leader that led his people to peace and security to peace with israel i met him many times and i was impressed with his commitment and we will continue to walk this joint path i wish to send condolences to president out sisi the mubarak family and all the egyptian people while i shall joins us now live from the tunisian capital tunis for more jamal you covered the protests in 2011 you witnessed 1st hand the anger and mubarak during that uprising what is your take on his legacy. Well of those 18 days are probably the most. Clear indication is true what his legacy meant for so many egyptians are on the one hand you had millions of people who took to the streets and good at 3 decades of corruption oppression and demise in the egyptian economy and on the other hand there were elements who were loyal true no bark that he used to essentially fight those people off the streets and in some cases even kill them it was probably in a country where there has been little free or for our scope for people to express themselves in those 18 days we saw the most honest response or the most honest accounts of what millions of egyptians felt was the mobarak legacy in if we try and wrap them up in a couple of minutes here are some of those highlights from those 18 days. Because the mubaraks death comes almost 9 years to the day since he was forced out of office by an historic uprising for 18 street days egyptians from all walks of life on the streets demanding the resignation of the man who tragically for 30 years the 2011 uprising had begun on january the 25th at the at the mubarak government had to celebrate egypts Police Forces but for millions of egyptians there was nothing to celebrate. Here at security apparatuses locked up Political Prisoners tortured detainees and in several cases killed them. Mubaraks response to these protests was to crackdown on the demonstrators Police Snipers trained their weapons on the crowd and then the likes riding camels charged towards the hotel stores several 100 people were killed in suicide xandra and the soon to become iconic to your square. I but the peoples resolve proved to be greater in a unique demonstration of unity secularists liberals islamists men and women young and old turned to here square in the central cairo into a protest site that gripped the worlds attention. Mubarak tried to appease them 1st by reshuffling his cabinets and then by promising not to stand for another term he pleaded with the youth to go back to their homes and promised to listen to their demands but it wasnt enough as mubaraks speech was projected onto screens of protest sites across the country demonstrators threw their shoes at them and shouted we are not leaving he must leave the box grip on power largely depended on the army it was his military career that propelled him to power so when the army decided they would no longer support him it was announced that he was stepping down. Oh yes many revolutionaries believed that
