a lot of people had no way to get home i really feel for them because i can understand what it's like to have been working hard to way from home for a year everyone looks forward to being with their family i want but in this situation there's really nothing we can say that innocent for. the outbreak even featured on state television saloon a new year broadcast with hosts ending messages of support to medical staff. in airports across the globe scenes like this are becoming common officials using thermal monitors to screen travelers for signs of fever around the world concern is heating up. well we have team coverage on the spread of the virus i'm joined now by correspondent lisa lewis she is in paris and. in beijing for us we want to start with lisa lisa the 1st european cases of the virus have now been confirmed those
11:04 am

11:05 am
with other diseases that was similar in the past ok fabienne crush for now in beijing it's the chinese new year today but celebrations not taking place as usual how is china responding. yeah i'm in beijing right now and hear every of the public gatherings they've been canceled also the tourist attractions have been closed the parts of also the chinese wall have been close and down definitely doesn't feel like that typical chinese new year usually it's also the season where domestic spending that's really high but now people prefer to stay it's cold they don't go to restaurants they don't spend so much on gifts for the 70s so yeah definitely it's quite different and asa population and especially among the young there's also some kind of anger against the local authorities in holland and in a province because just 2 days before they shut down the city you know it's not done all the transportation they were attending lavish sing and song dinners and.
11:06 am
they really cannot understand well the hockey authorities tell the people to wear face masks and to avoid all public gatherings but of course they themselves are quite different because i mean family and what's what's the feeling there i mean you mention the frustration but given the number of cases now is there a feeling that the chinese government is doing enough within china to stop the spread of the virus. well it's quite ambivalent question or tricky to end so if you ask the older people then yeah they have trust in the government also in the authorities and also that's also the picture outside of the country that i mean china was priceless while operating much more and more transparency with the world health organization and so on but we have within china i mean i get a different picture for example just yesterday the people stayed the official. newspaper of the communist poppy didn't even mention the coronavirus on their front page you can use it's just

11:08 am
like this in france and she also said that probably these cases were 1st detected in france because france had developed as one of the 1st countries a method to detect the virus now people here obviously quite concerned about this is you look at social media they're really wondering why there aren't systematic checks at airports because there are people who've talked to french media in the past saying you know i just got home for dinner and no one actually checked me no one controlled me i had lisa lewis with the leaders there in paris and fabienne question for us in beijing thank you both. well there's more information on the virus and tips for protecting yourself it's all vailable on our website w dot com now let's take a look at some of the of the stories making headlines around the world tens of thousands of demonstrators have returned to france the streets to oppose a planned overhaul of the pension system the government has unveiled its final version of the draft law which critics say will force millions of people to work
