like british airways have cancelled their flights to and from china. and in the city of frank efforts to build a dedicated hospital from scratch go on around the clock. scientists at the chinese national health commission expect the outbreak to continue spreading and reach a peak in 10 days' time. our correspondent mathias bowling is following the outbreak for us from the chinese capital beijing and sent us this is us. we are getting to know a lot more about this virus yet anxiety and uncertainty prevail and people prefer to stay home in order not to get in touch with other people and to minimize the risk of being infected people are angry at how their government has handled the situation and they are prepared for this to last a lot longer foreign nationals are being evacuated from one han now another sign

that nobody thinks this crisis will be over anytime soon so how long is this likely to last more let's bring in martin stomaches of raul just of the laboratory for interdisciplinary medicine in frankfurt thanks so much for coming in this morning with us or can you tell us how much time does it take for a virus like this to peak according to china this would be about a week or 2 from now. normally normally not i think they expect the peak in about 10 days because they've done massive. action. so avoiding a huge amounts of people that are small square and therefore trying to in a bit transmission from human to human scent that's why they're the optimistic talk to have a peak in about 10 days normally i would expect that last you know are ok longer how long that they could be a month i mean do do we have any way to know that. i think it's difficult because

we don't know in so much about the transmission activity of the white house yet because we know it let's last 4 for about 6 weeks or no on. it's very difficult to expect if you look at an investor wave we have about 4 to 6 so weeks from the start to the peak. but it's not that's not to say even in the situation. now this virus has been compared to sars it actually now has more cases of infection than sars are we looking at a more dangerous viral strain than the sars epidemic about 2 decades ago. if you if you define dangerous from the point of mortality the no source has a higher mortality in people in the middle about 30 to 40 percent. and we have no a mortality rate with the world of ours at about 2.5 percent what might be if you

define dangerous in the route of transmission then this virus is more dangerous because it can be transmitted even before the onset of symptoms something of the world health organization's meaning today is looking at this being a global health emergency if if it is what steps in the w.h.o. take. you know that they can take a more current coordinate not of way to go for all the states you know we have seen current time. that is the current time in china they can they can order current tide and other states they can cross closed borders they can restrict international travel it's done from different ways from different states but they could do it in a more coordinated way than ok are quarantines the best way to get the situation under control closing borders that kind of thing. to add to his trick the traveler

to avoid the fact that people are travelling from one point to another as a very effective measure and of course. and those countries who took their people from farm. to their home countries they also do these measurements and hopefully this will be effective to it to avoid the spread in other countries that are not. sorry sorry about that we have to leave it there mr sherman thanks very much once terms of our all just at the lab for into disciplinary medicine in frankfurt thank you so very much for coming in this morning. let's get you briefed on some of the old stories in the news germany's biggest lender deutsche bank has posted a net loss of 5700000000 euros 42019 this is the bank's 5th annual loss in a row and its 2nd worst ever result 30 bank says the loss was driven by the cost of a massive restructuring program. the white house is seeking to block the

publication of a book by the former u.s. national security advisor john bolton saying it contains top secret information the book reportedly alleges that u.s. president trump demanded ukraine investigate a political rival exchange for military aid that put undermine trump's defense in his impeachment trial in the senate. well tomorrow the u.k. makes it its exit from the european union marking the start of an 11 month transition period of very tough trade talks britain will stay in the u.s economic arrangements until the end of this year as the 2 sides try to thrash out a trade deal but the u.s. says the time span is simply too short and fears a chaotic exit if no agreement is in place when that transition period ends. the european parliament voted yesterday to confirm the u.k.'s departure from the euro. the final vote which after nearly 4 years european lawmakers

overwhelmingly back brags that happening this coming friday for the architects of the u.k.'s departure from the e.u. it can't come soon enough i mean well it's no accent like i know you're going to service i know you will about our national flags but we're going to wave goodbye i will look forward in the future to working with you i saw grim. if you disobey the rooms you get cut off could we please remove the flags. thank you thank you. but not all the british a b.p.s. in the chamber are happy to be leaving. i hold in my heart the knowledge that one day i will be back in this chamber celebrating our return to the house of europe thank you. what was a sad day for many here oppose brags that the european commission president reiterated that the u.k. e.u.

relationship is far from over i want to use the words of the famous british poet george eliot she said. only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love we will always love you and we will never be far long live europe. the. the. the. the. and emotional day in the european parliament before breaks it comes into force that and the beginning of a transition period with the many more negotiations that lie ahead. or breaks it is already having a knock on effect to start parliament voting to demand the right to hold

a new referendum on independence after the u.k. leaves e.u. but in order to hold a binding referendum all lawmakers need the approval of the british parliament and that appears unlikely still it is a sign of how strongly many scots feel about it as the biggest mass found out when she visited the scottish capital edinburgh. scoffs. in the capital at number more than 70 percent voted to remain in the e.u. . as did most members of the wild once. these hardy winter how to swim is a staunch supporters of yours and they're furious that scotland is being dragged out of the e.u. . phinney ignored and feeling that turn out of the e.u. . with african century and it's horrible and says what oh

sod off england and unfortunately of england. yes give us our independence he. when we can look after ourselves one solution for scotland would be to leave the united kingdom and then we join the e.u. as a separate nation but scots have been favored independence in the past. the last independence referendum in scotland so the remain side win comfortably with the vote share of 55 percent and even today opinion polls don't show a sustained majority for independence the nationalist hope that this will change once britain leaves the e.u. and that will persuade a majority of scots to go their own way. the s.n.p. is scotland's leading political party it's calling for open borders with england scotland's top trading partner as well as an independent scotland rejoining the e.u. . we have had

a lot of extremely generous and friendly overtures from other european governments saying that if things britain leaves the european union and scotland takes political control of the sort of affairs then scotland would be welcome in the european union but that would require a new referendum on scottish independence something the conservative government in london is keen to avoid. that referendum was a once in a lifetime once in a generation of it happened only 5 years ago rather than spending all our time as politicians going over and over having referendum after a from them after referendum well i don't see any but the scottish nationalists i'm not about to back down they may protest us in glasgow have renewed calls for independence. the conservative government may have a majority in the union parliament westminster but its mandate stops at the

scottish border it's a challenge for the prime minister and a challenge for the conservative government every time they say no a few more people of scotland say yes. the strong will and plenty of stamina that's what the scottish nationalists need to push their cause forward perhaps the winter swimming can provide some inspiration. and of live coverage tomorrow from london of the historic moment when after 47 years of membership the u.k. leaves you well anticipation is already growing for this year's belly nala which will be its 70 s edition and all stars from board preparations are well underway here in germany. capital be the 1st festival under the direction of new heads carlos and maria to prison be on his of movies from around the world will be screened including the italian drama hidden away.
