concern over whether the government is prepared for an outbreak president trump is expected to hold a news conference on the virus in the next hour i want to ask question of can be held at joins us live from washington kimberly the u.s. president in the past has downplayed the threat from the virus what can we expect from his address. well the u.s. president has almost taken the criticisms that his administration is not prepared personally he early this morning blamed on twitter the media for perhaps exaggerating the threat trying to reassure the american public but it's been the president's own statements that have caused alarm among some lawmakers even members of his own republican party not only is there concern the administration has not requested an off funding to adequately deal with an outbreak here in the united states the initial request is $2500000000.00 some democrats say should be

$8500000000.00 but there's also concern about the president's statements that he may not understand the severity of the situation for example saying that the risk of mortality is low that this is under control even that a vaccine is close on the horizon but his own public health officials have said is some cases just the opposite they've said to prepare for disruption in daily lives it's not a question of if but when and there's also concern that there hasn't even been enough testing done in the united states so the number of cases could be higher than is actually being reported now we're watching very carefully as the president is set to speak and make a rare appearance in the white house briefing room there are some questions about whether or not the president will go beyond what he's done so far in terms of declaring a task force and potentially appoint a czar if you will something we saw under the brock obama administration with the case of a bolo sort of a central point person to coordinate resources and response so far the white house

says this is not in the works but again this is something that could come up as the president asked for and rather answers questions of reporters and again that is set to take place in the coming hour committee haokip thank you very much indeed. several european countries reported their 1st cases of corona virus with the biggest outbreak in northern italy around 400 cases of the virus there the highest number of infections outside asia but every bust approach is being taken to stop the spread i'm a gem jhoom has more from milan on life under knocked out. in less than a week life in the small town of castle push that lingo has completely changed. the corona virus outbreak in northern italy slumbered the region is what did forcing checkpoints to go up and keeping residents from getting out. since we're barred from accessing areas under quarantine we speak to volunteer medic marco on skype. he worries about what will happen next but also tries to stay calm don't.

a physical cost to these of the scarred remains of muslim owned businesses in cardwell nagar in northeast delhi some people have lost everything the major violence may have stopped at least for now but it's been so damaging the question is how long will it take communities both muslim and hindu to heal and how can they ever fully restore trust. lawyers have started the legal process for those who were sponsible for inciting the violence to face justice the protests against the new citizenship law which started in december were joined by people from all religions of minorities across india there is a concern now that hindu nationalists may try and turn this into a religious issue i am seriously concerned about this is the players from where this movement is going to be given a religious shape which is in fact not. after 3 days of silence prime

whose legacy divines many nearly a decade after the arab spring and he was a military man and he achieved a lot for egypt we will not look at his shortcomings only no one is perfect it is mubarak's wartime record that the government would like he remembered for his 3 decades in power brought relative stability but also economic stagnation and repression it's quite a lot of pomp and circumstance when you when you really stop and think about it for a man who only 9 years ago was ousted by a popular revolt and then a year later sentenced to life in prison we forget for ordering the killing of hundreds of protesters he was openly mocked and ridiculed. in egyptian society and egyptian media hated by millions of egyptians but all we've seen over these last few years is a counter revolution in egypt they've reframed the narrative around the january 25th revolution and now they're honoring the man who was who was ousted it's really

quite the change of circumstance. mubarak's rule invites uncomfortable comparisons with the egypt of today under another former military officer who rose to be president. sisi freed mubarak in 2017 off 2 years in jail for conspiring to murder demonstrators during the 2011 a prior. the egypt of today still remembers the rejoicing on the streets after mubarak was swept from power. but a new era of democracy proved a full storm. mohammed morsi was deposed by sisi lasting only a year as egypt's 1st freely elected leader after he died while on trial and in detention last year morsi is funeral took place on the heavy government restrictions and out of the public eye in stark contrast hosni mubarak was buried a hero for his role in the 1973 arab israeli war apparently forgiven for an era of

that in the reports around 20100 g.m.t. that there was an active shooting situation at the campus of a brewing company the miller cooks company in milwaukee we are now they're getting various reports i'm officially from from several different sources of local media suggesting that at least 7 maybe 8 people have been dead that may also include the gunman there's now multiple reports of this is basically one of those situations where someone was fired they returned after they were fired to their place of work and they began shooting these are the reports we're getting from multiple sources but nothing confirmed officially yet so i would caution that every all of this information made me change the police are simply calling it a critical incident and that which they are still stabilizing we're waiting any official word from them we understand that the employees within this of off this campus complex brewing complex are sheltering in place one to stand the local

schools and businesses are in lockdown as we understand interesting lee that there's a big presence of the bomb squads in the in the vicinity which might explain why we're not hearing very much so far as to what actually is going on but the multiple reports now saying 7 perhaps 8 including the gunman dead following another mass shooting in the united states and you say another. you have very frequent. well off the point i mean a mass shooting as defined by the brady ensued the gun violence and soon enough to 2019 there were more mass shootings then there were days of the year but mass shooting defined the us for all people not necessarily everyone including deaths this is something the united states live with it has it was an issue in the democratic debate last night one of the you know michael bloomberg is making the most about the fact that he he's been very big on trying to challenge the n.r.a. and so on it is an election issue as always but as so often the case often mass shootings very little is actually done because of the power of lobbies because of

the power of the lobby is can actually move lies in elections and in fact actually often after mass shootings gun sales go up because people are actually worried that there will be stringent gun regulations put in place but the number of she have a chance of thank you very much. to become us president may have been going on for months but to relative newcomer is joining the nomination process senator bernie sanders is leading the democratic race for the new york city man might be invoked it was just referred to just that by she had is going after him with billions of dollars and an unconventional campaign strategy christianson to me the ports from new york. amid a crowded field of democrats mike bloomberg is positioning himself as the electable moderate in for oil to party front runner bernie sanders i don't think there's any chance of the senator beating president trump you don't start out by saying i got 160000000 people i'm going to take away the insurance plan that they love the
