a long way to go before it can compete with sars but at that time china faced international criticism for acting too slowly and withholding critical information from other countries. are for more on this says bring in dr mohammed when a he's a viral interest at lancaster university in the u.k. welcome to you docs in the near now in your assessment is china going about its response the right way. not really because i think the horse has already been bolted however to the efforts they are making now to contain the movements and to lock down the cities these are at the shooters but these already definitely late we if we look into the history of how devices have been contained in in the past into the knowing mexico has been one of the example when they have shut down their restaurant their cafe and their characters and so on that definitely have to.

suppress the limit of the suppression of the infection however it did not really fully how to control it so based on these observations i think it is a start it is a smart move although it looks bad on people oh we have 2 confirmed cases in france now how for pay this year at this outbreak well that is another thing europe has. put in place a precaution in years much slower than other countries such as america and australia all over in currency a situation a majority of the busy or the main airports they are having very good scanning system in place and all of them they ought to be given information has already been so proud all over the europe and people have a lot more information so i think personally that that the infrastructure and the overall prepared ness that is in place at the moment it's probably suffered just

enough to be vigilant enough and to catch the cases that my ligaments actions right now we have 40 deaths and i have a. 100 people infected there are likely of course a lot of people who have been in contact with the virus so how much worse do you think it will get before it starts to get better. well it's i think probably too early to predict this one however if we look on to the previous diseases i think we have not reached to the platter but there are still teams that need to be done more onto the reporting system and especially are looking into the what are the factors that are contributing to to suppress the infection between different people and what are the main strategies that are effectively working against them so until we do those conclusion is probably a little too much to undertake that inspection or declining in coming coming weeks i think it's too early to predict anything on that absolutely out of work to be down there to establish those key factors dr mohammed one year from lancaster

university in the u.k. thanks so much for your analysis. here. well just let you know that you can also find more information on the virus and tips for protecting yourself and that is on our website w dot com well let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world lawyers for donald trump have begun making their case to the u.s. senate in his impeachment trial saying the president did nothing wrong trump's attorneys will speak for 24 hours over 3 days the same amount of time given to the democrats to present their arguments against trump one. iraqi security forces have begun appearing anti-government protest camps at locations throughout the country the crackdown comes after the populist politician watada as the idea that he would no longer support the protesters several demonstrators were reported injured in clashes with the police. millions of hindus have gathered in northern

patience our animals died we have to spend the night here by the fire. surrounding villages have been devastated as well. some inhabitants are now are deuced to sleeping in tents. just consider that last night we were watching television when all of the sudden there was an earthquake and it shook. the floor collapsed and we went to the window. after we had figured a way out we broke the door and got out. besides we did we saw the other houses had collapsed through most of the search there was a. back and sort of authorities are warning residents not to return to damaged buildings because of the risk of further aftershocks. for thousands of people in the city and beyond there is no home to return to. and we're joined now by

a t w correspondent han in istanbul your rescue efforts are still underway what more can you tell us mr h. . well the good news is time and again rescue workers have pulled people alive from the rubble of collapsed buildings these scenes are being widely shared here on t.v. on social media too because these are moments of hope and many people in the affected areas there in eastern turkey are clinging to every spark of hope right now rescue teams and aid food for example tens and blankets have been sent from across the country thousands of people had to leave their homes because they were damaged or for safety reasons of aftershocks have been reported in the area and there might be more so people had to stay in emergency shelters emergency shelters was set up in schools in sports holes in mosques so this is where many people will

face another disastrous quake so you i mean you say that it's been described as a test for the country how well is turkey prepared for big earthquakes like this. well in terms of. emergency response the authorities have probably learned some lessons from previous quakes but many say that's not enough to take istanbul especially a city of 16000000 people very densely populated there has been huge criticism of the government that it has allowed widespread building without them this is the necessary safety precautions that it had given amnesty to illegal buildings that it had taken away or sold out to a space where people could go to for safety and if you take all of that together this is causing many people to be scared all of another loss earthquake here in
