World leaders try to salvage the iran 2015 Nuclear Agreement but little progress has been made and its for one of chinas says highest profile players has announced her retirement 5 time grand slam champion reassure a part of or is stepping away from the day at the age of 32. For the 1st time since the corona Virus Outbreak began the number of new infections outside china has exceeded the number within 37 countries have teles 427 new cases of beijing says its counted 411 earlier the World Health Organization warned immediate action is needed to prevent it becoming a pandemic where its widespread around the walt but the infection of her right appears to be slowing down and Mainland China where the outbreak. Again the virus is spreading through europe with new cases and from spain and germany the majority are initially 378 confirmed infections there and 12 deaths brazil has also just reported a case it is a latin americas 1st confirmed fiction the 61 year old had traveled to italy earlier this month more than 81000. 00 cases have been reported globally and from those about 2700. 00 people have died we have 3 correspondents across europe and the americas reporting on the epidemic that is standing by in paris complete is in washington d. C. But 1st we go to our latin america editor to see a new man whos in the 2000000 capital santiago to see just tell us what can you tell us about this stuff 1st case on the continent. Yes latin america especially south america which has very very close ties with china and other Asian Countries that they are their main trading partners were bracing for this confirmation and it has come from brazil the Health Ministry in brazil and also the w t os say that they are very very keen to determine how the virus will respond to the summer to halt whether it is summer all over south america 35. 00 degrees where i am right now and so most of the countries until now where that virus has spread are in winter old record climates than the ones that we are experiencing right now brazil has expanded its list of suspect countries that they will be looking out for the people arriving in the country from for example germany france australia the United Arab Emirates the philippines and malaysia this as well as china and and of course south korea and iran so theyre taking this very very seriously here in chile 26 people have been quarantined as a quote precautionary measure says the Health Minister but presumably they have been showing some symptoms that could be consistent with the corona virus so far they are being kept out of home but the authorities in the region are saying that its not a matter of if the virus will arrive here but rather when and that is something that is worrying people all over latin america and just going back to that 1st confirmed case i mean it comes at a bad time in brazil doesnt it with the kind of the holiday. Absolutely this means that there are a lot of people on the street all very crowded all very close to each other and that brings up another very important point the region is not well prepared for this that i cant think of a single country in latin america that can say that its Public Health system is up to scratch that it couldnt that it has enough funding that it is properly staff so its very very difficult and in top of that you have cultural problems for example kissing in brazil youll kiss on both cheeks constantly and its almost sacred not to say hello that way also here in chile everywhere in the region and so now people are being advised not to do that in order to try to keep down the possibility of the spread of this could very very contagious virus fellow have to see what happens in brazil right now carnival as part of a poll of sacred things is something that will not keep people off the streets or close together and that could make this could just virus spread even faster that is the latin american is a new c n human thank you Health Officials in the United States a warning its only a matter of time before the corona virus spreads there they want the government to allocate more than 2000000000. 00 in funding to wood fighting the disease President Donald Trump is expected to make an announcement on the issue in a few hours lets go live to complain how good news im washington d. C. Kimberly so were expecting this announcement from truong on the coronavirus efforts but hes been on the fire what can you tell us. Yet president has been under criticism by both the left in the right democrats and republicans who feel that not only has he not asked for enough money but maybe he should have asked for it sooner so in other words bipartisan backlash and a lot of the problems stem from the president himself in the contradictory statements in terms of this emerging crisis the president has downplayed the severity of coronavirus saying the risk of mortality is low things are under control even that there may be a vaccine very soon but the problem is his own Public Health officials are not saying that in fact they are already saying that americans should be prepared for disruptions to their daily lives not so much a question of if this will happen anymore but rather more question of exactly when this will happen and how many people in this country will become infected and how many of those will develop severe or more more complicated disease. Now one of the biggest problems for this white house has been that their message does not match the headlines that are playing out here in the United States as americans grow increasingly anxious theyre trying to be reassured by this white house but theyre also seeing things like the stock market taking an impact with regard to corona virus so the problem is the president now is seems to be taking this personally he has pushed back on social media blaming the media for the coverage for scaring americans if you will hes announced as you pointed out a press conference happening 23. 00 g. M. T. It really will be a test of confidence for this president now already there has been talk that this white house may appoint somebody to coordinate this response much like we saw barack obama do with ebola known as the coronavirus czar but as for right now the white house is pushing back on that reporting saying that is not the case so we watch and wait very carefully for this press conference that we taking place later today to see what the next steps will be we will be checking back in the dot com live from washington d. C. Thank you. Shift our focus now to europe is in paris and the 1st french citizen to contract the krona virus has died he had not traveled to a contaminated country do we know how he may have been infected. Well that is a real mystery for french Health Officials in a region north of paris called was 2 men were infected with the coronavirus one of them a 55 year old whos still in hospital in a Critical Condition these 2 i should say dont know each other the other a 60 year old man who died overnight in a paris hospital key oh was showing symptoms of the corona virus 2 weeks ago i should say he was showing flu like symptoms 2 weeks ago it turns out he had the corona virus but of course he didnt suspect that because he had not traveled like the other man to a contaminated country so really french Health Officials are trying to find out how on earth he could have been if infected theyre also checking everyone he came into contact with over these past 2 weeks because he was a teacher he fell ill just before his school broke up for a 2 week break however he would have been in contact with some children parents and other teachers so great concern as you can imagine in his region and across the country more and more people are starting to be concerned about this virus of recent opinion poll suggested that although most people feel comfortable that the Public Health authorities are doing enough they are still increasingly concerned about what it will mean for them and they are taking precautions. Natasha butler there live from paris thank you very much lets speak now to dr marcos banal in washington d. C. Via skype he is the director of the department of Communicable Diseases at the pan american Health Organization the Regional Office of the World Health Organization just tell us 1st off how prepared is latin america for the corona Virus Outbreak. Well you know we just have a report in a case in brazil. We have been working with all of our countries and sure in doubt they are prepared to contained a minimize or stop the. Dissemination transmission however given the fact that 3 countries. Iran and south korea are now experiences ill brakes or Community Transmission we are making sure they know their Health Services of the countries in latin america have prepared as you know some of the countries are me that income and others are high income saw there is a level of that countries are now losing track of the chain of infection the cant tell where confirmed cases have been contracted what does that mean for projections of how this virus might continue to spread well china has been reporting decline of cases in the last few days and decline of that. While we have seen some Community Transmission in other countries as i mentioned we have also seen that there are about 9 countries that reported a case that is seen as the last 2 weeks they have not reported cases so so its a mix issue and then the next 2448 hours will be crucial to for us to know if if how these viruses behave and we cannot rule out that the virus can come back and pick again so we need to be food and prepare not only for containing but also start thinking on me to going to show measures in case the. Country see not sort of cases do you think that the current a virus is something that the world will just have to get used to like dealing with the flu or with this is this something that is just going to become the new norm. Well there if we look at there on the corner of our east sarsour murders that is not the case so we respect that we can contain break we think it can be contained and it will go so so it doesnt look like it if you follow the same pattern as the other via coronaviruses then issue not behave like their influence ours or germany cant trace its coronavirus cases a latin america as ive said its got its 1st case in brazil from someone had been france and greece spain are reporting cases pakistans got it around numbers seem suspiciously low at what point does this become a pandemic well there is a dozen very good question there is a fine line. From demi to really we cannot over use the term because it can also create damage it can also create. A stigma it can also suggest that were not able to contain the outbreaks. But we still think theyre going to still think that we can do that least the key issue for pandemic is sustained transmission while there are 3 countries with al breaks the countries in austria switzerland greece are all related to to the problem in italy so all or i think we need to see more sustained transmission in other countries and as i said if we look at countries that reported cases 2 or 3 weeks ago many of then at least 9 as not reported cases again in the last 2 weeks thanks that we have to live if a time talk to their life from washington d. C. Thank you thank you. But more head on the news hour including turkey says it will push back Syrian Government forces in Northern Syria as the number of displaced people reaches nearly a 1000000.

The major violent scenes are stopped at least for now and now theyre assessing the damage as you can see quite extensive in this part but also the human cost the death casualty figures are going up by the hour almost and Something Like 250 people have been injured and killed and now theres a mop up operation that has been a piece really because of women who were decided to stop their protest in jeffrey bad at a station. After intense provocation by hindu nationalists now that violence is spin some of the worst that delhi has seen in decades and the casualties show that so theres a big deep rooted problem that has now overshadow what this whole matter was about this was about civil rights over the citizens Amendment Act but its being come in northeast delhi something about religion between ms muslims and hindus and thats not how it was this whole protest Movement Began because of across the board all religious denominations all minorities protesting about this new law which they say was racist now the problem is now this is being used as a kind of victory now by some of the hindu nationalists they said they wanted these women to be moved they were moved and now it sets a dangerous precedent what will happen in future if theres another protest will they do the same thing violence seems to work now weve had nothing from the Prime Minister mr modi until today 3 days are this whole thing started and he calling for calm hes calling for peace and harmony with be no peace and harmony here quite the reverse the problem is how can they rebuild now from this how can they regain the trust if you look at this damage its superficial compared to the deep rooted scars weve spoken spoken to people whove lost their loved ones hindus and muslims they have suffered their ones have been killed we dont know exactly who was responsible for the killings most of the people seem to be killed by gunshot wounds but some are. Also have been stoned and beaten to the point where their injuries me meant they died so we dont know what the situation is there needs to be an inquiry human rights activists are calling for the government to actually take deeper stronger measures to find out the root causes of this and find the people who were responsible and bring them to justice that we may be one of the 1st steps needed to bringing these communities together again. Delhi police has been criticized for its role in the handling of the violence critics say thats because the force is not accountable to the Delhi Government the Central Government controls the police force in delhi the local government has no power of a law and order the political divide in delhi is also adding to the tension at the moment he is the party in power in the National Government the a.
