anger against those helping refugees on les pauls. welcome to the program our top story the world health organization says the number of global coronavirus cases has now passed 100000 with almost 202000 confirmed around the world iran's death toll is reported to reach 145 with a conservative m.p. among the 21 who've died in the last day and more than 5 and a half 1000 people infected and numbers are rising across europe as well the leader of one of italy's ruling parties is among the 5883 now confirmed as infected rise of more than a 1000 in one day 233 have died there all together the government has announced tough new restrictions and then in china a hotel in the city of joe which was housing people who had contact with virus

patients has collapsed 30 people are still thought to be trapped in the wreckage of that katrina you has more from beijing. this hotel is located in the city of 20 in china 7 for jen province and the collapse happened in early evening around dinner time trapping about 70 people including people who we know were being monitored because they were in close contact with corona virus patients now the province of food yet has about 300 coronavirus cases but it's monitoring an isolated in quarantine thousands more people known to be linked to those cases for monitoring by medical authorities we know that they had been put in this hotel since about need february now we know that emergency teams as you said a working to pull out people and so far they've succeeded in pulling out dozens of people were also getting some more information about the hotel itself it's not actually a very old building it was only built in 2018 it's a steel structure about 5 to 8 stories and we know that the hotel occupied at the

heart of the building in the lower level had some stores and shops located blow it it's still unclear at this stage exactly what has caused this collapse but we do know from witness accounts that when it did collapse it sounded like an explosion well iran has been a group prayers to spend a major events and reduced working hours across the country to slow the outbreak it's now spread to all $31.00 provinces as well as infecting and killing a number of current and former politicians samus ravi is in toronto and says that despite that situation many people are ignoring the advice from authorities. they're definitely trying to do whatever they can to convince people to listen to the advice that they are given that's really been the biggest challenge from senior leadership here in iran in terms of combating this corona virus ever since the outbreak was publicly announced ever since it began in rome last month now if you speak to iranians even those that do believe the government then the recent poll by

a number of the mystical authority in teheran estimates that only 50 percent of the people are truly concerned about this is a public health crisis even if you speak to iranians who might wish to follow the government's advice to the letter they say they simply can't afford it even if they might like to stay indoors and not open their shops not carry on with their businesses many shops are closed many are not one business operator i spoke with said that he worries that shutting down his business will mean not only laying off workers but because of the economic impact over a long period of time of the corona virus and having to shut things down it might mean that he'll never be able to open his business again taxis are available on the streets but when you get in most drivers are wearing gloves and masks and they provide you with hand sanitizer and will spray your hands before you start the journey as much of a service to their passengers as a way to protect themselves really iranians will tell you that they simply can't

afford for life not to go on as normal and that is something that the government has been aware of ever since this outbreak began. well the italian government is introducing restrictive new measures in parts of the country's north which worst affected by corona virus drafted will tell people not to enter or leave the body or 11 on the province's it also opposes ski resorts museums cultural centers and gyms schools will remain closed until at least april 3rd comes after they reported more than 1200 new infections in the past day francis who's fighting a cold has canceled public appearances in milton of his regular sunday pret a crowd at the vatican by life stream and then the leader of one of its knees to ruling parties has announced that he has the coronavirus. to. go to interview so you have coronavirus to obviously all the money to lock everybody else in the situation feel fine so used to saudi that old be are slated

to home also my family's falling all the protocols the situations. contacting all the people who were close to me at work to be interviewed and to be checked. elsewhere here in europe france diagnosed more than 330 new cases of corona virus on saturday that's the biggest daily increase the country's recorded so far 7 more people have died bringing the total to 16 police in spain of deployed a force to implement home quarantine in a town in the north with a high number of infections there and then the number of people here in the u.k. diagnosed with the corona virus has risen to 209 meanwhile in the united states 21 people on a cruise ship that's been barred from docking in san francisco have tested positive for corona virus most of them a crew u.s. vice president might present says only about 50 people of the 3 and a half 1000 passengers and crew have been tested so far graham princess will now be taken to a noncommercial port where more tests will take place meanwhile

a man who contract the virus on the vessel sister ship the diamond princess which was held at a port in japan last month has died he is the 7th person from that ship to dive coronavirus you can get the latest from patty cohen now who's live in washington and patty i guess has been a great deal of concern about the the slow rollout of diagnostic testing. there hasn't been as you were mentioning cruise ships it's interesting vice president mike pence who as you know u.s. president down from has put in charge of the effort here in the united states he's just now speaking with reporters he's been meeting today with executives of the cruise ship cruise lines he's basically putting it on the cruise ship companies saying you need to do a better job of screening you need to have protocol in place to make sure that you know how to check for people how to evacuate people if necessary and it really shows the fine line that this administration's walking they're trying to send the message that yes people should still keep going on cruises but just not people who

are potentially. at risk for the disease as they're saying if you're elderly with underlying health conditions you should probably skip that cruise is going to come in this country in the next couple of days i expect you'll see a huge number of increases in the cases and here's why they haven't had the tests ready and available for people who suspect that they have the coronavirus to actually find out if in fact they have part of the problem the centers for disease control came up with the test it didn't work they came up with a new test they were slow to get private companies and academics to give them the license to go ahead and come up their own test they've now done that the vice president just 24 hours ago said no there aren't enough tests out there and then we saw the president come out and say if anybody wants a test they can have it and so that's the best test in the world so what happened in that time frame is that people thought they might have it but they weren't getting tested and then those who could find the tests the c.d.c. had this very tight criteria of who was allowed to have the test and it was only

people who travel to china so what you're hearing health experts across the political spectrum say is this was a really bad thing that they had a chance to try and keep it contained but now it's out in the community and they say it's been transmitted through community transmission is what they call it which means it is no longer to the point where you can find the one person who has a track down the 300 people they saw and try to make sure they're ok. because now it is so widespread they believe that we're just going to see more pockets of people more communal transmission so those numbers are going to grow increasingly quickly and we've already had alarming predictions for the global economy with the end to dissipate that is over the coronavirus will result in a global recession what about fear is fear economic activity specifically in the u.s. patty it is growing and i think you saw that reflected in the stock market it's just been plummeting and the president complained about that just 24 hours ago he said we were on pace to have this great stock market but now there's all this

uncertainty so with the backdrop of his upcoming reelection he needs the economy to be strong to have a shot at being reelected so you're seeing the administration send the message that everything is going to be fine part of the reason is this is a service based economy 70 percent of the economy is made up of people providing services well if you're afraid to leave your house if you don't go to stores if you don't go get your hair cut those stores start to suffer this excuse me but there's another bigger issue for this country and that has to do with sick days and insurance the vast majority it is 2 thirds of people in the lower income they don't get paid if they don't go to work and these are people for example in the food service industry who don't exactly have savings so that even if they're sick there is an incentive for them to go to work because they need to pay their bills the other problem 27500000 americans don't have insurance so if they're sick they're not necessarily going to go get tested because they can't afford it so this is

a bigger issue that i think the country's going to have to come to terms with these are very unique issues in the industrialized world when it comes to the united states we're going to watch it how it plays out in real time does feel like a new type of crisis thank you very much patty had to call him in washington. well in all the stories we're following this hour 3 senior saudi princes are reported to have been detained by mosque 2 men in a major security crackdown which suggests a new power battle in the kingdom they are prince ahmed bin abdulaziz who is the younger and only surviving full brother of king solomon the king's nephew mohammed bin nayef a former interior minister and crown prince who was replaced by the king's son mohammed bin cylon in a palace coup in 2017 and then mohammed bin nayef half brother prince now off the 9th said to be accused of attempting a coup the wall street journal is also saying security forces detained dozens of interior ministry officials senior army officers and all of a suspected of supporting an alleged plot and o'brien reports. the

of incidents that have taken place in the past 7 days despite that the taliban is still jute hold talks with the afghan government but those negotiations are facing many hurdles on the abdel-hamid reports from kabul. celebrations have been taking place in taliban held areas since an agreement between the u.s. and the taliban was signed in doha nearly a week ago that was going to this is a big achievement for all afghans says the local commander they lost and now we have gained their freedom for civilians caught in the middle and welcome relief. it's been very difficult there were a lot of night reads the taliban fighters were escaping and it's civilians who suffer we were the victims not the taliban the message here is that the taliban inflicted the historical defeat of the u.s. but there's another war going on one between afghans at least 80 attacks have been carried out since sunday killing dozens of people mainly members of the afghan

security forces. the increase in hostilities was triggered by afghanistan's president a 70 refusing to release up to 5000 taliban prisoners as guaranteed by the agreement the afghan government did not take part in that agreement and says this is a matter that should be negotiated during the upcoming interim afghan talks the taliban insist they must be free before the negotiations start they needed it in the used to be free to sooner rather than later degree wind has been criticised within the taliban's ranks and there are reports of fighters defecting to other groups like isis. brutally. they are one thing but inside their. differences there are taliban in afghanistan there are taliban you different parts that you don't agree. clarence and prior

systems and all through politically there are taliban who are trained and educated in one place and groups who are educated in another area that has a difference the group feels this now in a position of strength general routine should worry says it has also evolved since the day he was attorney general of the taliban government in the 1990 s. . the taliban is definitely the winner but before we rule alone that has changed the taliban wants to have a government that will include all ethnicities but there are red lines one is the withdrawal of all foreign troops and their advisors the implementation of islamic law is also a red line because we paid a heavy price but whether the country is called islamic emirates or not is open to negotiation the government wants the taliban to desire after agreeing on a ceasefire that attacks are likely to continue just as they did during negotiations with the us leaving afghans paying the price once again but at that
