for 3 decades during that time be forged stronger ties with the united states and israel while crushing opposition at home that was until 2011 when he was ousted from power during the arab spring after more than 1000000 egyptians angry about poverty and oppression called for him to go he ceded control to the military he served time in prison his conviction was later overturned. let's get more we have our reporter i even him here in the studio studio for us and we also have in cairo correspondent ruth michael sam i welcome to both of you and let's begin with you ruth how are people reacting to the news of his death well i think we see mixed emotions in many ways here in egypt and a lot of that will depend on what people feel willing to express publicly and what if you're willing to express in private there are many people that had a kind of

a stunt or hosni mubarak's 30 years saying that yes he was an autocrat but it was all manageable kind of. the kind of look we see under the president of the fattah el-sisi there are others that will also remember who are out to challenge he and say that he set the template for the kind of political repression that we're currently seeing now but for others he was also a symbol of egyptian great things he was an international statesman who maintained egyptian time. with the united states with international callus and maintained egypt status and reached your house. you know as we've heard rick highlight there he was certainly a significant political figure for the country just walk us through why i mean this is a man who ruled egypt for around 3 decades i mean up until his removal and 2011 there was a whole generation of egyptians myself included who had never had

a different president had never experienced an egypt that was not ruled. by mubarak but he you know he was also someone who you know was it was a figure of stability to the west under his rule u.s. aid to egypt reached you know the highest of records about one point $3000000000.00 u.s. dollars per year he was also seen as the most important important regional partner in maintaining you know. the peace deal with israel he's also someone who came you know came into power as a result of a traumatic experience after former president anwar sadat was assassinated he was his vice president he was never initially elected and he left it also at a moment of where the nation was having a you know a moment of significant awakening and as ruth mentioned he's a very polarizing figure because in the 34 years after he was removed egypt has seen levels of instability whether on the security front or the economy front that

made people very very nostalgic actually they said you know he was an autocrat but he did there was some sort of stability that he provided and we have more on his life and his vocal now for our viewers i just want to have a listen and then we'll get reaction from both of you. and me assure you. it was one last triumph for hosni mubarak egypt's former president was acquitted off through a trial that lofty is the judges found him innocent of involvement in the killing of protest is during the 20 levon arab spring uprising that ended his 30 year rule his career ended with a revolution. it began with an assassination. in october 1981 at a military parade islamist militants shot and killed then president anwar sadat mubarak the vice president escaped with minor injuries and took over the presidency

in the same year he implemented emergency laws as part of his battle against militants he also expanded police powers. in another of his 1st moves he told the u.s. he would stick by his country's $979.00 peace agreement with israel the 1st by any arab nation. but barack became an important mediator between israel and the palestinians for 3 decades he was seen as a guarantor of stability in the middle east in return his country was given billions of dollars in aid from the u.s. he was courted in europe and respected by israelis and arabs alike but it term of barack showed a different face he cracked down on islamists ofter they orchestrated attacks and threatened his rule egypt democracy was little more than a facade all elections were rigged mubarak did little to address the poverty afflicting millions of egyptians as his in a circle and his own family became wealthy as egyptians resentment grew and mass

demonstrations broke out mubarak reacted with force when that failed to curb the protests he attempted to make concessions but in the end the might of the arab masses forced him to step down mubarak was put on trial and jailed for 6 years mostly spent in a military prison having served his sentence for corruption the former president was released and returned home to his villa one of many properties owned by his family his wife and sons administer the assets accumulated during his time in office but barrick road egypt for 30 years is on edge and feared in equal measure and now his life has come to an end at its 91 we are back here with him did of you correspondent and in cairo we have correspondent with michaelson with the let's begin with you how likely or how widely is he likely to be mourned both at home and

abroad. next glass there i mean i think there are some questions about what kind of a funeral he is likely to see where they see some kind of state or military funeral or whether it be a private funeral with his family and. that will still be the case and all of. the current egyptian state will handle are its legacy. rule and he's likely to be mourned by people whose saw him as a kind of military dictatorship the pasta they do business. bar scene is such a potent symbol of the kind of corruption that persisted before the arab spring it was also a kind of rule of sorts support from international powers and he is likely to be more about research and his authoritarian approach we talk in the context of today's egypt what what is that like right now and i mean you know. the

people that went out on the streets and 2011 were certainly going out against a certain kind of authoritarian dictatorship an oppression that was the worst they had seen at that point but i think it's safe to say that the kind of oppression that egypt has seen at least since the current president of the for the city has taken off and office is in many accounts way worse i mean a lot of analysts say that you know in egypt you know under mubarak of egypt there was a sort of censorship to the media but there were certain and certain underwritten rules that if one knew that you wouldn't cross you would still be able to operate as a journalist or in the media and under out the fact that it seems that the state has become so unpredictable especially in its handling of issues that related to freedom and i think you know his mubarak's removal if we're talking about the kind of egypt that he said it really cemented the impression that people had that you can't really rule without egypt if you don't have the support of the military

establishment i mean of course he was he was forced to resign because of popular protest but at that point. the military had abandoned him as well and decided that he was kind of not worth a to support anymore and that's something we're certainly seeing now and i think that's perhaps his most enduring legacy the reporter for him and also correspondent ruth michelson in cairo thank you so much to both of you. to other news now the world health organization has borne that more must be done to prepare for a potential coronavirus pandemic more than 80000 people have now been infected worldwide most of them in china south korea has the 2nd highest number of cases at close to 1000 president and saying that the situation there is very grave several countries have imposed travel restrictions in a bid to contain the virus the other main hotspots outside of china are japan iran and italy now italian health officials say that the number of cases there is

growing rapidly they've now confirmed a new case in the south in sicily prompting concerns about the spread of the virus which has so far been concentrated in the north police have sealed off a number of towns in the region around milan as they battle to contain the outbreak italy is to post a summit of health ministers from neighboring countries later to discuss a board meeting response officials from the w.h.o. and the european union are due to meet in rome. keep. for more we are joined from milan by d.w. correspondent behrendt regard so back walk us through what the italian authorities are doing right now in order to extend the measures to contain the coronavirus. the government tries to restrict the movement of italians especially here in the laws and in specially in long body which is the center of the industrial production

in italy and also the economic center. is a center of tourism and these measurements of measures that lead to the fact that the square behind me is more or less empty it's very it would be very crowded on a normal day you know there are only a few tourists and a few shoppers here because all of the rest runs the bars the shops universities offices everything is more or less closed and locked out on the government wants to avoid the spread of the virus but it doesn't help obviously because now we have this 1st case in palau tamil in sicily and this case comes from a man who was from the north traveling to the house and now that the cases are no longer isolated to the north how concerning is that for people. now the people in the south the reason say we have to restrict travel even more we

would not come anybody from the north now and the people in the north say that condi you cannot prevent us from going some places in italy so there's no tensions tensions running high between the north and the solids and there's also discussion of what to do with the borders of italy to the neighboring countries the far right populist legal knowledge which is raining here in the us says we have to close the borders to france to austria into slovenia but so far the italian government says that would have no effect because the virus is already in italy how is the economy being impacted bound. well monday the stock exchange she experienced a black monday 6 percent value was just burned 40000000000 euros just going away and we don't know what will happen today the estimates that the italian government economy have a slide into recession this year and that would mean less taxes for the state and

more state debt and it's not clear if the state would be able to cope with all the impact and also critical voices that say you are doing too much it's over done corona is only an influence don't bring the country to a grinding halt with your measures down to make x. correspondent thank you. and more coverage on the corona virus may be found on our youtube channel or on our web site t w dot com in the meantime let's get a check of some other stories making news around the world former movie mogul harvey weinstein has been found guilty of rape and sexual assault a court in new york acquitted him of other more serious charges weinstein will be sentenced in march and faces up to 25 years in prison his lawyer says he will appeal the verdict. floods in the indonesian capital jakarta have paralyzed parts of the city and cut power many residents have been evacuated the latest inundation

leaders made sure that the u.s. president would be greeted with a lavish extravaganza and mighty words you have them on this relationship the most important partnership of the 21st century. throughout the meeting the tone between the 2 leaders was friendly even loving. where at a point where a relationship is so special with india it has never been as good as it is right now and i think just because the 2 leaders of each country were really we we feel very strongly about each other while the president and the prime minister seemed at ease with each other the outcome of the talks was meeker both expressed optimism at the prospect of a future trade deal and left it at that. the meeting was overshadowed by violence that every up to another part of delhi over a new citizenship law claiming several casualties those opposed to the law believe

it discriminates against india's muslim citizens the timing of the clashes is an embarrassment for the indian prime minister eager to show a polished picture of his nation. protesters also showed up to object to trump's visits their message to the u.s. leader was clear. in term of the white although new for everyone for the indian people but you know. possibly here they are not going to feel that your world will come to india so you go back. to. the trumps unaffected by the criticism visits tourist sites between their official engagements while the president will leave india with many pics to rest good memories for ones to deal maker has to go home without a trade deal in his pockets. in germany 52 people were injured 18 of them tilter and when a man plowed his car into
