trump. finally worshipping at the temple of truong we'll tell you about one man's american idol. i'm melissa chan and welcome to news asia thank you for joining us attention is shifting from china to south korea as the country sees a spike in new cases of the coronavirus south korea now harbors the greatest number of infections outside of china as we go to air more than 200 koreans have tested positive with the disease that's could drupal the number from earlier this week there's been one death so far a man from the city of chengdu oh but most of the new cases have centered around the city of die a guru that's where a group of people congregated. for religious services.

more vile teams dispatched in daegu to disinfect the site of the country's worst mass outbreak of the coronavirus. church of jesus where a 61 year old woman attended services while infected health authorities describe it as a super spreading event the mayor has advised people to stay indoors raising fears that this city of 2500000 is the next global hotspot for the virus. then i think obama has more cases here in daegu than even seoul i'm worried that they become the 2nd was gone. with the don't tell you the charge should have been more careful with you know. the church has a reputation as a cult and south korea and issued this apology we are deeply sorry that one of our

members thought of her condition as a cold because she had not traveled abroad led to many in our church being infected and cause concern to the local community. this is day goes temporary treatment center where people are showing symptoms more than 80 church members have confirmed infections. and there could be many more. temporal hendricks so far we have checked with 4475 church members and among them 544 answered that they had symptoms so they are undergoing the virus test we have obtained a list of remaining church members and are taking measures. so is also on edge over the virus health workers retrace the path of a coronavirus patient who reportedly used to train authorities have also found rallies to fight the outbreak. some families aren't taking any chances

missing big life events like this father's own university graduation and watching it online. with the explosion of infections hitting the country many south koreans worry the worst is yet to come. thailand's constitutional court has dissolved the future forward party which has been very popular among young voters it had come in 3rd in the elections last year and the governing military establishment views the opposition party as a threat future forward is led by china torn kit a charismatic billionaire and the court ruled that he had illegally loaned his own party some $6000000.00 u.s. dollars that has passed the legal limit for more we have journalist florian news in bangkok florian will people think this is a politically motivated decision. definitely and

it's not only the supporters of the future forward policy who call it a put to a politically motivated verdict there are also a lot of independent experts that actually say that thai chlorides especially the highers courts have a history of ruling in favor of you know close devilish and elites and. there are even indications after a leak we have seen a few months ago about papers that in fact more than 30 other political parties have taken loans from their respective totty leaders so i think it is safe to say that the chords may actually apply some double standards that they're using something like a selective jurisdiction where some people are targeted by the chords and others

the left in peace and what's the fallout what is going to happen with supporters of the party and how is the country as a whole reacting. well the immediate fallout for the m.p.'s the future for what m.p.'s said are still in pollen and they have 60 days now the ones that are not part of the executives the party leadership because they have been banned from politics for 10 years but there is 65 mph left in palm and they have 60 days to find a new political home and there are indications that a back up potty was already established and that those m.p.'s can actually switch over under a new and can continue their political work under a new brand new poteen name but it will be more difficult without the pods the executives the party leadership but it's actually not impossible so in the end

this verdict might actually have been a shot in the foot for the regime because the opposition might get even more fired up and tunneled tong the party leader actually said this fight is not over keep on marching this point this future forward is more than a policy it's a movement and we will keep fighting on florian nation thank you. u.s. president donald trump heads to india next week for a 2 day state visit on the tenor ery is a trip to the taj mahal and a long awaited trade deal to be signed a new delhi the highlight of the trip is elsewhere donald and melania trump will be welcomed with a mega event in the western city of the hand of god in prime minister home state of gujarat india promises an unparalleled spectacle trump has said he expects millions

of people to show up to greet him here in michigan as well. aloha more from the suspicion and lips the city up ahead of the bot. no one can miss that the american president is on his way. the products are certain that this was it bodes well for the 2 countries they have called home after 15 years of studying and living in the u.s. they did turn to good shots as american citizens to start businesses shadowville partick and investment banker is confident that even the perception of a good relationship between the 2 leaders could spur growth and investments to have the president of the united states is a force. for people of gujarat and when i say my companies in and about they ask me when i'm the bad news so this would be you know this gives contract so much exposure in the u.s.

that you know this is where trump can force several members of this family still live in the u.s. and power them from other indian americans like them who migrated from the state a good route are expected to return to and i bought for the number 3 trump mag i ran the program which will feature cultural performances and speeches by the 2 leaders is set to take place amidst heavy security at the new more better stadium the largest cricket grounds in the world must to jump an echo of the how the more the event held in texas last show out at the largest gathering for a for an elected leader on american soil in the run up to the u.s. presidential election this event a scene of an attempt for president jumped to appeal to the largely democratic indian american voter bill but not everyone is celebrating the presidential visit. political analyst cunt sharp sharp is concerned about the massive state expenditure

on the street are sure he is also skeptical that the jury how dozens expected after the show will all be willing participants. and suspect many may be paid off they would not like to spend dying when money. to come home or long distance industry for somebody then the thing. so people know that this is a yawn when one is doing the. best in the other the. but the city is almost literally leaving north tone on tone for trump. parties i've been lead batter kids raised and roared spruced up this wall was raised overnight on the road of the presidential convoy will take. hundreds of the city's poor live behind it they say that this expenditure could have been used to improve

their living conditions instead itself minimally nobody has done this to keep us out of sight. and bathrooms to build this wall where we supposed to bathe and. spirits we have to keep it on the verge of the water supply has been carved up by the poor where are we supposed to go. even asked paos and are expected to turn out to welcome the american president not everyone will be saying there must be a trump. a mixed welcome may await donald trump in 100 but a bit further afield in rule telling gonna province he's got one diehard super fan for him presidential visit to india will likely be a religious experience. how do you treat the man of your dreams. chris no

worships him. 4 years ago the u.s. president appeared to him in a vision i've. faced idol trumps all others as the object of his devotion. i carry his message on the morning before any work i pray to. god to me and for me and that's the reason i made a structure but every friday i fast for trips. 6 so far the neighbors don't mind the new god on the block. people didn't stop him they are also very happy when i meet the structure of the u.s. president. donald trump comes to his house. it will be great. for . a presidential visit to christian as humble

home is unlikely the real trumps upcoming trip to india pushes him toward the sublime. and he hopes that his trump worship will pay off with the fortune and fame of his idol. and on that note that for now we'll see you next week. it's a lot of the people go for over the edge and home the force and. the closeness even the thinking about. the bottom of the valley that the last dragons in those words as you call it the hard truth. on. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language the 1st word of the physical nico is in germany to germany. but. why not
