Primaries as he takes a dominant lead over Bernie Sanders in the race for the democratic nomination and in School Coronavirus threatens the opening race of the formula one season 3 f one team members placed in quarantine in melbourne ahead of sundays race. So coronavirus to start off and the fears that europe may in fact slip into a recession countries are trying to limit the damage resorting to sweeping measures to fight the epidemic germany 1st of all with a chance less as Health Care Systems will be tested she is warning it is likely the majority of the population will become infected and so im glad merkel has urged european governments to implement measures that will slow the spread of the. Iris as germany now reports nearly 1300. 00 cases but time was one 1st in the north of you will start the have to understand the virus is here there is no immunity in the population against these vitals there are no injection possibilities north head of peace and it means that. A High Percentage 60 to 70 percent of the population can be infected if this is the situation continues like that its a disease why we have to work so very intensively to find the right medication for it right so thats germany now italy has unveiled a nearly 30000000000. 00 plan to tackle the growing crisis this is just a day after the government there imposed a National Quarantine italy has the highest number of infections and deaths outside of china in britain the finance minister pledged to do whatever it takes to protect the economy from coronavirus there he is presenting the annual budget to the u. K. Parliament and in the United States as well an increase in cases more than a 1000 confirmed infections and also the National Guard sent out to one particular suburb in new york state where a cluster of cases has been found so well take you around the world in a moment but well start in london here is nice barker and i said this to lawrence the earlier is only its not often that we would so closely watch a u. K. Budget but how the u. K. Spends its way out of this is becoming quite crucial. And spending its way out of it is exactly the message that weve received from the chancellor of the exchequer this of course just to remind you its the 1st budget from the British Government since departing the European Union so it was off a lot of attention focused on it anyway but perhaps nobody expected it to be primarily dominated with having to deal with the coronavirus and the message from the government is that a lawful lot of money will be thrown out to dealing with the problem to the tune of 39000000000. 00 that money will go towards insulating large and Small Companies form the short term effects of work forces being forced to self isolate whether theyre sick or not it will also go towards helping people in the get color me Cultural Workers on on on contracts that arent fixed term those people that were perhaps most vulnerable to being affected by self isolation because of course if these people dont work they simply dont get paid the message from the government is that the welfare system that exists in this country will be able to be accessed by these people but it does of course raise huge questions this system of the social welfare system is meant to be a safety net here in the u. K. What happens if all of a sudden you have millions of people desperate to help signing on for support these are big promises that really need to be tested in practice ok thank you for that update that is need barker in london we move now to washington d. C. Heres kimberly how could at the white house. Were going to talk to kristen salumi about this later about the markets i mean theyre still reacting very badly what is the u. S. Government offering as a response to falling markets and even falling confidence. Yeah well there are a number of remedies that are being discussed right now the lead on this is being taken on capitol hill House Speaker nancy pelosi putting forward a number of proposals like long term paid sick leave even making sure that children who often got their meals at school will if they have to quarantine at home will still be fed a broad package being discussed along with the support of the treasury secretary steve minutia this is because the House Speaker nancy pelosi and donald trump simply dont get along so as they discuss those different remedies we are also hearing from the Top Democrats in the u. S. Senate that they are considering requesting in drafting up a letter to send to the white house possibly requesting that donald trump declare a National Emergency this would free up more than 50000000000. 00 or rather 40000000000. 00 of emergency funds to try and put in place some sort of National Response but there is a lot of push back here at the white house towards that given this could really create a National Panic one year saying national or months move what i mentioned before can leave out the National Guard in one suburb in new york state can you maybe explain for an International Audience what that means when the National Guard is called out in this manner. Yeah the National Guard is a really a branch kind of a local level branch of the u. S. Military so make no mistake about it well theyre being careful with the language in new york state there is a one and a half kilometer radius around a suburb of new york city known as new or shell that rate now is a containment zone but this is an enforced quarantine now again the language used being very careful by Public Health officials are saying the military is being used to bring medicine to bring food what that means is these folks cant leave their homes if they do theyll be faced with perhaps armed resistance so very draconian measures being taken in new york state to try and spread and could tear rather to stop the spreading contain coronavirus in the United States you know more than a majority of u. S. States now affected and those numbers are being told by Public Health officials only expected to increase extraordinary stuff thank you thats complete with the latest from the United States shes at the white house and now in the. In paris to tell us more about what emanuel mccrone has got planned for the french response. Well the french president has announced that he will be giving an address to the nation on thursday night hell be talking to french people about the situation with the coronavirus how they can help protect themselves better with simple things like hand washing but also more on the French HealthServices Response what we have seen from him and omar cross over the past 2 weeks is really hes cleared his share jule he has focused nearly soley on the Coronavirus Crisis in france there are more than a 1700 cases here more than 30 deaths and of course those numbers are rising all the time now the french president also held a Cabinet Meeting today the 1st Cabinet Meeting without the french culture minister because on monday he was diagnosed positive for the coronavirus he is in isolation we understand that hes not in a grave condition he has what he described it feels like a very strong flu those are some of the messages weve heard from the french culture minister but as you can imagine that made many other ministers nervous we know that others have been tested theyre also 5 m. P. s in the French Parliament that have coronavirus theyve all tested positive theyre all in isolation again none of them in a Critical Condition but it just gives you a sense of how the coronavirus really is touching also a segment of the population here Natasha Butler part of our Team Coverage of coronavirus this news hour which i should thank you for that now lets go back there i mentioned this before that massive stimulus package which has been announced to help deal with the are a total of 28300000000. 00 allocated to address the Economic Impact of the virus only less than half of that would actually be available straight away itll be partly used to support the hill system and Civil Defense services the rest goes on protecting jobs and propping up businesses. Well get the thoughts now of nicola bodie who is an economist at the universe stays on skype from rome for us thank you for your time so whats your take on those sorts of measures that have been announced i know thats a very broad look at it but doesnt sound like the Italian Government is going in the right direction. I think so i think this is a package that it was so much needed that and even you need to mention its about one percent thats part of what we dont get the. Size it needs are much bigger much larger than what people expected. Its true that only of this package will be available immediately but i think its important to know what he said we should know the source is available the economy people are basically oh im not working so in your economy you know situational stars so its important to stay in and ward cares for that in the next weeks will face some difficult time i also think about the tourism factor were just looking at some pictures from milan i think it is of i mean its empty squares there weve seen the trevi fountain in rome completely empty is well the coliseum tourism song important to a city as well. Absolutely to the cinema makes about 13 percent of italian g. D. P. And clearly its a sector that not always the working and the next minute months when the war because of the situation immediately and probably. Also in the situation in other countries that like the u. S. What are you looking at countries that might find themselves in the same situation. Currently now so this is a big problem and hopefully in a situation will be a sort through a clear and a secular city eat in fact part of the economic package injection of money by the government is. Warfare say in this sector how would you describe the hi jennifer its the mood of the italian people but the result of them they know that there is a very stark reality for them that is basically a lockdown of the whole country how do you think people are really coping so its a its a better student really out situation. Desolated there nearly anywhere he said are on that web where people are of our own and that is care. But at the same time that is full court give up its measures so even though an example you dont find any or much control in this city is by police when of course the cesspit measure that prevent people one example where i dont know what nobody set out and everybodys. As much as they can take on a body thank you so much for your insight on whats going on in his family right now we do appreciate it thank you very much. And more on the Economic Impact of coronavirus coming up a little later an update from wall street as i mentioned trading opened a little over an hour ago and also the rest of the days news and how queuing up for bare essentials scrolling anger in sit down amid an economic crisis and what that could mean for its new governments and sport us soccer balls has kicked off a huge argument with their own World Cup Winning Team and we will have your sport at about 10 to the hour. Some breaking news right now though the former hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has just been sentenced to 23 years in jail for rape and Sexual Assault youll remember weinstein convicted of rape also 2 counts of Sexual Assault in new york last month since 2017 dozens of women have come forward accusing the 67 year old of Sexual Misconduct including right there weinstein who has consistently consistently denied any wrongdoing Patty Callahan following this one from washington d. C. Hi patty how did all this unfold today. Well i think its 1st important to remember that this article about Harvey Weinstein really launched the meat to Movement People who are asking how is this going to end well we know how it ends for Harvey Weinstein hes likely going to die in prison he has been sentenced to 23 years hes a 67 year old man in bad health lets not forget he had to go to the hospital for her procedure after he was sentenced hes now been moved to the prison where we believe hes had at least one concussion from a fall so Harvey Weinstein was facing between 5 to 29 years in prison for those Sexual Assault charge criminal charges that he was found guilty of the judge went with 23 years again hes 67. 00 in bad health this will likely mean he will die in prison if he doesnt get any sort of special treatment and this is the only case hes facing and hes also facing potential charges in los angeles so for the man who launched the me to movement apparently not coming to grips quite yet with what he is now convicted of doing according to the Associated Press in court he said to the judge he doesnt really was confused by the rape charge and said thousands of men are losing due process im worried about this country so that might have been a factor in why the judge lobbied such a very stiff sentence on Harvey Weinstein were not sure more will come out of whats just been breaking news out of new york right now but again Harvey Weinstein launch to me to move in people wondered all around the globe would there actually be accountability the answer for at least Harvey Weinstein is yes hes going to likely die in prison maybe tell us a little bit more if you dont mind patty about the meter movement i know people be well aware of but how much momentum i guess that jabot as a result of Harvey Weinstein in the moment meant it still has today even if its not totally in the headlines. Well i think its still very relevant and i think what you saw as the election of donald trump we saw the largest protest march in the history of this country which was the womens march it was absolutely massive it was across the globe it across the United States for sure then you saw some really dedicated journals come out the New York Times and the new yorker wrote in faro the new yorker and they did this expose in weinstein and keep in mind he was considered untouchable in hollywood he won his movie studio launch careers want to ask he was the big man in Hollywood Well these allegations were that he had raped dozens and dozens of women and some of these women very famous women were brave enough to go ahead and give their names and so then it went to twitter and we saw actresses say if youve actually had this happen to you if youve been harassed if youve been assaulted retreat with me too and it exploded it was everywhere and all the sudden came to the public consciousness just how widespread of an issue this is its not just in hollywood weve seen lots of men in the media be brought down because of all their own allegations of impropriety Sexual Harassment in some cases Sexual Assault you are seen as much though moving to other industries at least not as publicly but there is much more awareness of it there are women who have created a fund so that they can help lower income women for such as maids in hotels be able to get the assistance they need to be able to repel their own me to movement so it was the 1st case it was by far not the last but it does send a message to predators out there that there can be punishment. With the update on the sentencing of Harvey Weinstein to thank you patty.
