9:10 am
it's a mixture of anti hiv drugs and the flu drug which china used to cure mers patients the mixture of both treatment shows a vast improvement 48 hours after applying the treatment and the result turns negative. further tests will determine whether this cocktail will put an end to the corona virus epidemic china is struggling to contain the disease the army has flown almost 800 medical staff and 60 tons of supplies to woo han the city at the epicenter of the outbreak. after receiving the order we immediately began to make arrangements for the mission carefully selecting cruise and coming out with 4 different flight plans considering the high risk of infection we also took measures to protect ourselves and provide a safe cabin space. more than 300 people have died from the virus in china almost 15000 infections have been registered across the country. and will hand in the
9:11 am
surrounding have a province hospitals are being built in record time to absorb the strain on the health sector. outside her bay the government is desperate to slow the viruses spread in the city event every household is limited to one shopping trip by person every 2 days. public transport is disinfected and next week millions of chinese will return to work on after an extended to noon a new year holiday to put such measures to the test. for more now we go over to mathias berlinger our correspondent in beijing mathias the number of corona virus cases keeps rising in china more and more people are dying is this going to continue getting worse before it gets better. that's what most people expect the numbers are rising the numbers are rising at a fast pace most of the cases that we see the new cases that are registered are
9:12 am
still inside by province inside one mostly and 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. new hospital has more than 1000 bads they have 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
9:13 am
test kits are lacking and other. 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 will 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 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.
9:14 am
today is the day where according to initial plans the holiday the new year holiday should have ended pretty china is pretty much an unlocked own economically around this time of the year because of the holidays but as you can see all these shops 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're going to feel the real reasons when production when commercial activity will not pick up off to the holiday and here is the thank you very much that was correspondent in beijing. and we'll have the latest on health chinese markets are reacting to the coronavirus coming up in business news right

assailants profile. the 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. crazy she says crazy and stupid i mean i'm with you myself and i'm a teacher and to see that kind of thing happening here i mean of my children grandchildren and chiefs happening in your own doorstep it's just let me see but i think it's pretty strange that these things seem to repeat themselves and happen this often i think people are these 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 off to the incident announced new sweeping measures in how it deals with terrorism offenders anti-terrorism experts however also emphasized that lone wolf

low tech attacks like this are always going to be difficult to stop. the president of angola. 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 millions in public funds while head of the state run oil company in angola allegations were published by a team of investigative journalists to santosh insists she's the target of a smear campaign. adrian krishi sat down with angola's president and began by asking about rumors that though santos is negotiating a deal to pay back part of the money she allegedly stole. well as inform us or some spring from that this information is unfounded and we would like to make clear that there are no negotiations. and there will be no negotiations.
9:18 am
and then the think. 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 screwed in the future 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 well 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 what's it's a judicial matter and i'm not a judge of any of the documents indicate that some of the deals happened with the knowledge to sometimes on the orders of the former president for example presidential decrease to give undervalued lands to isabelle's companies why don't
9:19 am
you go after the former president and you must know our legislation what i mean by that good of the former presidents are immune for at least 5 years after they finish their term rumple mentioned question but would you consider going after him after the time. before says. it's the justice system and not politicians that indicts people but as leaders it's the justice system that investigates possible crimes. that is sort of neat the coup the day mission of politicians is to design policies ensuring that the justice system can be free and act within its competence or most will been so that. the president doesn't send people to court i wouldn't even have time for that there are many cases in the country by the opposition their representatives are basically saying the justice system is not as independent as you are saying that it is very well controlled by the government was
9:20 am
a response to that thought before so. that 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. now you served as a 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. not up to it's true that i have worked under president you know say eduardo dos santos and we all did he stayed in power for almost 40 years no one can say he or she was not part of the system. we were all part of the system was there but it's them if you don't put those who are in
9:21 am
a better position to correct what's wrong and improve what's bad are those who knew the system from within. you know. some pussies i meant a can squint and some such 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 no investigations meant the proof that it's precisely because they 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. but would that be correct. we now have got a chance for change. said the equipment and this is the right time to do it as. we know it demands a lot of courage sometimes groups these men. and we face some resistance
9:22 am
a woman's things but we would rather fight that resistance than leave things as they were before. the movie need just want to want. it other news authorities in the italian city of milan have temporarily banned cars from the city center in an effort to curb pollution smaller is a frequent problem in the city but not all residents are happy about the car ban some got behind the wheel nonetheless risking hefty fines. us democratic presidential hopefuls are making their final push for votes ahead of monday's iowa caucuses they were crowded voters in the state will be the 1st to decide who should stand against republican donald trump in november's presidential election 11 candidates are competing for the nomination. stay in the u.s. the kansas city chiefs hold off
