a new strain of the corona virus which emerged in china is not yet a global health emergency now the virus has claimed 18 lives or so var including one hundreds of miles from the virus epicenter chinese authorities have locked down several cities in a bid to contain the virus 1st and foremost is the city of new han the metropolis at the heart of this outbreak. a city of 11000000 people with almost no one on the streets transportation on lockdown trains planes buses nothing leaves the city outbound cars are also forbidden hospital wards have had to deal with hundreds of cases and thousands more beds have been reserved for patients health workers are on the front line of the fight against the virus and those which includes it would of course were weren't and so our relatives may hit but we're nurses and we'll do

our job as long as we wear the uniform despite the rising number of cases the world health organization has not declared a global health emergency and the question was whether these event constituents of public of emergency of international concern. the advice to d.g. which is provided by the emergency committee is that. on thursday china announced the transport links to the cities of one gun and joe would also be cut and the fear of contagion has produced dramatic scenes like here at fuzhou airport where a man suspected of carrying the virus was confined to a quarantine container. the outbreak comes as millions of people are all the move to visit friends and family for the lunar new year it's one of the biggest annual migrations in the world the government has canceled many festivities in an effort

to contain the virus and joining me tonight is muhammad. at lancaster university in england it's good to see you again doctor the world health organization as you know says that this new strain of the virus is not yet a global health emergency but what does that mean and what does it tell us about efforts to contain the virus. so not implementing articulating a global health emergency means that they're really that show village rely only on the national control strategies which mean whatever is ongoing at the moment will be at considered sufficient to and even be something trimix control in the years that will be added into the existing control approach and that also mean that the actual will not exploit explorer to clay to international efforts into a single platform and make it a concrete effort to control their disease not yet they will be discussing in the

future according to their kind of decision that came up today even in that they are going on to the national control strategy those are already on point and what do you think the doctor are you confident in what the chinese are doing they've basically locked down several major cities trying to prevent this strain from spreading do you think that's enough. if you look on the scientific evidence says all the outbreaks that have come. in recent times and made in china and also were seized they have directly or indirectly links we can move on so we have been flying from there we have contact with the seafood o.d.m. contact with people who have already been infected so this could really highlight that everyone has been at the center so so they couldn't as tensions that have been put on out of destruction onto the travel and discouraging the gathering is certainly appreciate it however as a scientist i can clearly state that these are too late to get to people who have already been crushed i will. tell you why this is all and that is an extra layer of

complication that is being and he put in place but never. better to have now that it never buddies are something that should have been done 2 weeks before ok so you're saying better late than never what about the numbers that were being given there are some concerns that this virus has spread further and infected more people than what china is officially retiring 40 i mean how likely is that do you do you trust do you believe what the chinese are telling the world. well i only missed because of the scientific line so i have been it was only in this snotty right from new year eve and there have been a few days and a number of reported cases does not faking the color of a beach mean that the number of cases were significantly be higher than what is being reported now however that is not really a concern at this stage because the number that has already reached to 600 plus

that is sufficient enough allowed us to sustain yourself so at this moment major concern is whatever order ported positive out at this stage they should be put under control mayor so that the white history month spread any farther rights are to mohamed mir viral it is joining us from lancaster university in england with his assessment of attempts to contain this strain the coronavirus document here we appreciate your time tonight thank you listen to the young that was the message today at the world economic forum german chancellor angela merkel told the world's business elite to heed that young activists who are demanding action on climate change she warned of a rift between you through c.n.n. uncertain future and an order generation that denies the dangers of global warming . dodgy doors were not going to stop anglo-american from delivering today's warning to davos this is the 12th time the german chancellor has spoken at the forum but

never have the stakes been higher merkel appealed to the world to arjun li make good on the paris climate accords. the question of achieving the goals of the paris agreement could be a question of survival for the whole planet being uncertain is why we need to act or instead it is a known fact that. it's also why environmental themes have played bigger than ever this year with activism royalty meeting actually to the future king welcome greta to embark the us president is not a fan the german chancellor try to mediate. but that's up to think good side time is a thing as and when the older ones have to be careful. i am 65 years

old all the impatience of our young people is something we are to tap as a potential investor that really we are to understand that they obviously look at a far different horizon well beyond 2056 in the us. the talk of intergenerational divisions jarred somewhat with the calm outside. perhaps why merkel saved her last with a call to arms for the business elite to work together to avoid a climate disaster. they call it does for a cohesive and sustainable world that's an stakeholders for a sustainable world i would argue where all this talk politics can start this you are this cell of young we trying to take this seriously there are a whole host of opportunities open to us but we can open it inward looking and going it alone that would be the completely wrong lesson to take all these years after the 2nd world war in that is so i think that it's. now what matters is whether the class was paying attention. you're watching news coming up on

d w business of illegal coronavirus threatening to further disrupt a slowing global economy that's next in business with kate ferguson stay with us should be right back. there i'm david and this is climate change. happiness increase books. for your. children smarter for free to double your books. you're going to unofficial estimates more than 1200000 venezuelans live in colombia needy and illegal.
