Coverage in this Program Spans continents in bus robbies in tehran chalons is in london Trafalgar Square but we start with theres life for us in hong kong so do mixed messages mixed news coming to us out of china. Thats right peter he said there are 200 percent increase in imported cases this week in china for the longest time china had been battling the the outbreak within its borders and now its having to fight cases that are coming into the country and many of these people that are coming into the country are students or other residents who had been abroad and are facing lockdowns in other parts of the world and are returning home china has warned about this and has taken very heavy steps to try and enforce screening in fact theyve stopped allowing flights to come straight into beijing diverting many of them to smaller cities where the passengers will be screens and if they are seen as having passed the test they will then be sent to beijing and then put in Quarantine Centers china the government has been warning about this from the start saying that they cant control what happens within their borders but what comes in from outside is the next challenge as they say the 2nd wave meanwhile as you say there have been no need to mess to cases for 3 consecutive days now in china china is now considering lifting many of the heavy restrictions it has place that lockdowns its place to try and keep people social distancing in care it keep people from contracting the virus from others in the city of who bit one in the province of who bay which was the epicenter of the virus if you recall thats where the virus was 1st detected at the end of last year there have been no new infections again and this is for another 3rd consecutive day so china is lifting that heavy lockdown that has kept people locked in their homes for weeks now theyre saying people will be allowed to go out theyre starting to open shops and retailers particularly those which provide necessities and food and theyre saying that the house households will be able to send one person out for 2 hours a day to do the necessary shopping systole the easing those heavy restrictions thanks very much lets go to the iranian capital tehran and i correspond of the another day more comments from Haasan Rouhani zain was he saying. Well he was speaking as he was chairing another meeting of the counter Corona Task Force here into iran and he advised people on how to keep away from hospitals how to continue to take precautions to not become infected but really the main takeaway here was that restrictions that have been put into place around the time of naurus when streets are relatively quiet anyways he made a point of mentioning that those restrictions will only last for a matter of weeks not a matter of months and really the point he was trying to make here is that the economy is still important as much as the government is desperate to get a hold on the spread of this virus limit the spread of the corona virus throughout the country really it seems like from his comments that the country is being led by Economic Indicators more if not exactly the same amount as they are being led by Public Health indicators and one of the reasons that is is the president said that the economy cannot be used as a weapon he said that the countrys enemies would like to see iran suffer economically past experience shows that the United States has used sanctions and what iranians describe as economic terrorism to try to destabilize the situation inside the country and the government knows that economic instability is something that could lead to things like protests and demonstrations and it is the kind of long term implication of the coronavirus that they want to avoid they cannot suffer any more economically since they are already in very difficult Financial Condition so the government seemingly from president Hassan Rouhani is comments wanting to obviously combat the coronavirus but hoping to at the same time do so without making economic sacrifices by limiting people and their movements throughout cities and throughout the country something we know cannot be done but one of the comments he made was very interesting that really tells us of perhaps an internal struggle within the government he said that any decisions about putting stoppages on public transport will be made by the central government. And to iran it is not up to governors and officials and provinces and that really does give us a sense of the fact that president rouhani is in disagreement and is going against the advice of hundreds of politicians through out the country including local provincial officials and lawmakers and members of parliament here into iran that have instructed him to shut down entire cities to lock down parts of the country something he says he has been unwilling to do because the economic ramifications of that for iran are simply too high a price to pay zain thanks very much live to londons Trafalgar Square and london correspondent rory challenge is there for us so rory it looks almost completely empty behind you london londoners the u. K. Processing the new normal as unveiled announced by Boris Johnson last night. Absolutely this is usually one of the busiest points in the whole of the capital of felda square youve got the National Gallery close of course at the moment on the other side of the square not many people around here at all today in fact it was so quiet that about 20 minutes ago a fox run past us this life is ition here in Trafalgar Square.

Questions have also been asked about trades made by several other senators including the georgia senator kelly lefler who sold stock on general of the 24th the same day of a close Senate HealthCommittee Briefing democrat. Senator Dianne Feinstein also traded stocks in this period though she contends that was a decision taken by her Financial Adviser you would look at whether those senators made unusual transactions during that period or whether this was part of their normal buying and selling and if its not doesnt amount to a significant amount of money or if it is as you said par for the course for these senators then that would suggest that they were deliberately trading on the inside information of the coming pandemic President Trump says he knows nothing about these reported trades though he was quick to remark that a democrat was also apparently part of the group that conducted trades so the whole group waiting for the return for that head of the Intelligence Committee and it also would include senator kelly muffler and so the question is whether or not they should be investigated for that here or also includes day in feinstein a democrat you didnt mention her name what in you mentioned her name and i think shes a very honorable person by the way so im not but you know its interesting you mention to people that you dont mention one that happens to be a democrat or a senator should they not i dont know because i have to look at it possibly but i find them to be honorable people the matter will now be referred to the Senate Ethics committee which will decide whether these trades constituted unethical if not criminal behavior mike hanna out to syria washington while staying in the states more american states are establishing unprecedented lockdown rules telling tens of millions of people to stay at home new york illinois and connecticut are full of california in rolling out sweeping measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus it means all but essential businesses will be closed and that people should only leave home for trips to supermarkets pharmacies and gas stations rob reynolds says most people in california are following the order to stay at home.
