7:03 am

a safe cabin space. more than 300 people have died from the virus in china almost 15000 infections have been registered across the country. when we hand in the surrounding her baby province hospitals are being built in record time to absorb the strain on the health sector. outside today the government is desperate to slow the viruses spread in the city of venues you every household is limited to one shopping trip by person every 2 days. public transport is disinfected but next week millions of chinese will return to work after an extended to noon a new year holiday to put such measures to the test. well for more now we go over to mathias burling our correspondent in beijing mathias the number of coronavirus cases keeps rising in china more and more people are dying is this going to continue getting worse before it gets better. that's
7:05 am
what most people expect the numbers are rising the numbers are rising at a faster pace most of the cases that we see the new cases that are registered are still inside who by province inside one mostly. on the cases outside of this area are rising at a slower pace so that gives the hope that the virus might be contained inside this quarantine zone but this is far from. from sure because there is a long incubation period and we might as well see the numbers taking off in other parts of china in the next few days i understand a new purpose built hospital has just been finished in han how is that expected to help in tackling the corona virus outbreak.
7:06 am
new hospital has more than 1000 bad they're badly needed considering that several thousands of people in this city have been diagnosed with the virus and we keep hearing reports about people being not able to get their diagnosis because test kits are lacking and are the. admission problems in hospitals so these beds are badly needed but the one government has stopped stepped up other measures as well so for example they have. announced we don't know really what they are really but they have announced to have quote quarantine zones where people who are who are sick but who are not sick that they need to go into the hospital where they have to stay and would possibly be taken by the police into these quarantine zones as the military has stepped in hoping to distribute food and other supplies to supermarkets so we are seeing
7:07 am
everything we hear from one hand is pointing to a severe emergency. health emergency matures is also having a massive economic impact on china how is that making itself felt. today is the day where according to initial plans the holiday the new year holiday should have ended pretty china is pretty much in a lockdown economically around this time of the year because of the holidays but as you can see all these shops here have not opened today the government has extended the holiday so if until now economically there was some kind of a lucky coincidence that this. this crisis fell onto a holiday season now we are going to feel the real reasons when production when commercial activity will not pick up after the holiday but is that you very much

that was correspondent in beijing. german officials say 2 people evacuated from china to germany on saturday have tested positive for the corona virus they were among more than 120 people flown to frankfurt on a military plane from the chinese city at the center of the outbreak appalls of cases both german nationals had been hospitalized doctors say they're doing well the rest of the passengers remain in a 2 week quarantine at a military facility. on sunday germany's health minister defended the situation to carry out the evacuation propped up in fights and he. departure in china we had to and were able to assume that symptom free compact treats were returning to was. they were still symptoms freed frankfurt and in that sense he seemed healthy. but i think the patient tell you means in a situation like this that what we've seen can change relatively quickly and i'm
7:09 am
not sure exactly why the quarantine was right that's on top of the one typing wish to try. for more i'm joined now by d.w. political correspondent simon young and simon what more do we know about the 2 cases that have been detected so far among the back you we the german evacuees from china that's right so these are 2 of these 124 people who were brought back to germany on saturday from. and on sunday the diagnosis was announced these people are being looked after in the university hospital in frankfurt which he's well equipped to deal with with. what we're told really is nothing more than that they reacted with composure to the needs that they have following their eyes for as far as big as can be expected given the fact they've got this virus at the moment so you know the health minister saying also that it was right to bring these
7:10 am
people home so they could be dealt with well one of those evacuated from. one of the germans is yannick vice he's a student who's currently corn teamed to an air base in south western germany let's hear what he had to say we are here in the military base. building is separated from the other buildings we have hands around over so there is no way that an old soldier or somebody else can join us in our home but also we are not the last to leave. overhauls. because we are not to go outside but we are not prost friends. visiting here is very very good everybody else has the singer room you revenge too. he wants to prevents outbreak here also of course in the facility so this kind of his elation is i think the best
7:11 am
opportunity to manage the sting. so as one of the and one of the vacuum we in china is under quarantine now the 2 cases of infections with the corona virus that have come back among the evacuees from they are not the only cases of corona virus in germany ali that's right there are a total of 11 german nationals who tested positive for a corona virus those 2 in frankfurt there's a tourist in spain who had gone to spain from germany before he was diagnosed and then there are 8 people in the varia they are. all employees all connected with employees directly of one specific company so i think you can say that this outbreak so far is not very widespread it's really focused in that main case on one company that had contact from an employee been who come from china so what the authorities are saying is there's no cause for
7:12 am
a major moment this moment what steps are german authorities taking to assure that this outbreak stays contains on the main action they've taken now is since saturday every justifiable case every case with some reason to believe that somebody might be infected has to be centrally reports even followed up so that's the way that they're you know going off to the virus other than that it's really about the international coordination they say they're speaking with other countries in an attempt to find a vaccine and also to agree what procedures should be taken to deal with people suspected or indeed showed to have the virus because it's important that all countries internationally take the same type of action a lot of coordination needed simon yar political correspondent thank you so much thought. now let's catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today turkey's defense minister says 4 turkish soldiers were killed in

assailants profile all too familiar for london is it's the 2nd terrorist related stabbing spree in london in 3 months attacks committed by men who had already been convicted on terrorism related charges but this time the attack wasn't in the city center but in the suburbs. it's crazy she says crazy and stupid i mean i'm going to myself and i'm a teacher and to see that kind of thing happen here i mean to my children and grandchildren and 6 happening in your own doorstep it's a sad place to but i think it's pretty strange that these things seem to repeat themselves and happen this often i think people are the sensitizing to issues like this which i think is a big concern seems pretty similar to what happened at london bridge the short while ago it's pretty scary that it happens in your own backyard the u.k. government after the incident announced new sweeping measures in how it deals with terrorism offenders antiterrorism experts however also emphasized that lone wolf

low tech attacks like this are always going to be difficult to stop and indeed. to angola that country's president while the lens who has told d. w. that his country is facing an unprecedented opportunity for change in the wake of corruption allegations against the former president's daughter billionaire isabel dos santos is accused of stealing hundreds of billions in public funds while head of the state run oil company in angola the allegations were published by a team of investigative journalists the santos insists she's the target of a smear campaign. krishna sat down with angola's president and began by asking about rumors that the santos is negotiating a deal to pay back part of the allegedly stolen money licensing from a source saying from the. this information is unfounded and we would like to make clear that there are no negotiations. and there will be no negotiations.
7:17 am
and then leaving. over there was an opportunity to do so with people who were involved in acts of corruption benefited from a 6 month period of grace to return assets they illegally took out of the country which of course is in the view that meant that at the time the british those who haven't used that chance would now be responsible for any consequences that may result. in some appendage this war this winter. you know the documents that are really quite quite clear do you want to see her behind bars for that i'd prefer not to answer that at once it's a judicial matter and i'm not a judge of any of the documents indicates that some of the deals happened with the knowledge just sometimes on the orders of the former president for example presidential decrease to give undervalued lands to isabelle's companies why don't
7:18 am
you go after the former president and you must know our legislation what i mean by that because of these very former presidents are immune for at least 5 years after they finish their term rump and mention question but would you consider going after him after that i'm ok before says. it's the justice system and not politicians that indicts people but is it's the justice system that investigates possible crimes. that aside a need to the nation of politicians is to design policies ensuring that the justice system can be free and act within its competences and most will been so that. the president doesn't send people to court i would not even have time for that there are many cases in the country by the opposition or representatives of basically saying the justice system is not as independent as you are saying that it is very well controlled by the government was the response to that that we foresaw. that
7:19 am
may have been the case in the past but not today today they have absolute liberty to act equal fact. that is the reason why there are so many trials particularly related to corruption but if you meant the. best of what they did with the courts well now you served as the secretary general of the m.p.l. as a defense minister as well you knew the former president very well worked under him for a very long time why didn't you bring all these criticism up during that time. no it's true that i have worked under president you know say eduardo dos santos son we all did he stayed in power for almost 40 years no one can say he or she was not part of the system that. we were all part of the system here but of them you know if you don't put those who are in a better position to correct what's wrong and improve what's bad are those who knew
7:20 am
the system from within. even. some pussies i meant to can squint as they will put a dent but then you must have seen that is a very corrupt system because this is what the documents now show us and that's what even you know investigations it seems that meant the profile that it's precisely because i have seen these high levels of corruption and because i think that situation shouldn't continue that we're fighting what we have seen for decades . it might be comfortable for us to leave things as they were before the full score but would that be correct. we now have got a chance for changes to the. city of corporate and this is the right time to do it as. we know it demands a lot of courage subscripts is when. and we face some resistance
