is it the beginning of the end for a socialist candidate bernie sanders plus returning to the scene of a crime we'll hear from a survivor of france's worst terror attacks and find out how she copes with the trauma 5 years old. hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program the world health organization says almost 120000 people around the world have now been infected by the corona virus many have recovered but more than 4000 have died europe's worst hit country is italy some neighboring countries have closed their borders with italy and there's an unprecedented nationwide lockdown to try to slow the spread of disease.

on lockdown its streets on obscured by the usual hordes of 2 just. the shutters came down at 6 pm as bars and restaurants closed in accordance with new measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus the message is simple stay at home it's advice italians are taking seriously after the number of confirmed cases of covert $1000.00 top $10000.00 and the death toll rose above $600.00 and florence to the normally bustling streets were unusually quiet and for some the financial consequences of the nationwide lockdown are already beginning to bite. from around 140 plates a day we've gone down to 25 place this afternoon. this nice year we've decided to stay open to see if we can do something even if it's a small thing we have in chloe's and rent to pay.

meanwhile there's trouble with the neighbors slovenia has closed its border to italy well austria has banned incoming journeys by train and plane moves criticized by french president the manual mccomb. because we don't want things to get out of proportion that's why because it needs to work good because it's only the beginning of this epidemic and if we take disproportionate measures they'll be unsustainable in the long run and that's counterproductive i sincerely believe that these are bad decision was the european coordination is much more efficient as if it just for. european coordination means working from home the brussels based president of the european parliament is in self isolation after a visit to his native italy. back in rome the president of the italian football federation said that the season already suspended could be abandoned as the coronavirus affects every pillar of italian life. let's take

a quick look at some other coronavirus developments around the world there's good news from china which has officially reported its lowest number of infections since the outbreak started there in han the epicenter of the outbreak workers in key sectors are due to go back to work but elsewhere infection rates are still increasing in the u.s. there are now more than 10000 confirmed cases the national guard has been deployed to a new york suburb that's been quarantined and greece is shutting schools universities and daycare centers for 2 weeks and in the u.k. a huge health minister has announced that she has tested positive for the virus. well it was widely reported on tuesday that south korea's outbreak was waning but now a new cluster of infections stemming from a call center in the capital seoul is causing concern so for 93 people have tested positive among the centers employees and their families before that news correspondent frank smith sent us this report from seoul on help paramedics are

dealing with suspected cases. paramedics in south korea are answering some tough calls in battling the coronavirus for each prospective covert 19 emergency like this one they take time to put on high level protective gear and only one paramedic attends to possible patients to safeguard the team paramedic is ready for what comes watching for the telltale symptoms of coronavirus. high fever and coughing. $1000.00 calls are difficult to respond to because we still don't have a clear idea of how to distinguish an actual case from a false alarm. even if a person hasn't traveled overseas but is running a fever you still have to assume the worst because there's an outbreak in the community. there when a 3 hospitals in seoul have suffered clusters of the outbreak closing their

emergency rooms other hospitals are at times unavailable because they are overcrowded when transporting possible coronavirus patients ambulances in seoul sometimes travel long distances so 3 a c.d.c. and emergency command center route paramedics to designated hospitals with space in trio in a negative pressure isolation room which has special ventilation to prevent the spread of the virus faster each called the ambulances are thoroughly disinfected in their interiors sealed to ensure their virus free. and if i ever get infected i'm confident that i would eventually recover given my young age. but i live with my parents and they are older so i'm most worried that i might pass that on to that and there are no guarantees that they could receive the

treatment they need in a timely manner because emergency services are so overstretched right now. the medics at the ambulance center are required to live in isolation eating alone at separate times and maintaining social distancing still team members say that morale has remained good. that we work in a field team now so putting in an extra shift and now it's another clone is simply a possible job description. if they needed a supreme allowance or simply have to head down and work time out instead of fretting about it. it looks like there will be no let up in work. has just been dispatched for a week with more than a dozen colleagues to dig the epicenter of south korea's corona virus outbreak. and frank spears who filed that report joins us now from seoul frank 1st of all how

bad is the corona virus outbreak in south korea. well today the total was nearing $8000.00 cases here in south korea but what's changed over the last 2 days is an outbreak here in the capital which has remained largely isolated from the big part of the breakdown in daegu as i mentioned just 93 new cases were announced just in the last day that brings the total here in the south korean capital to 150 that took place at a call center at a subway junction where 2 subways lines intersect and so there are concerns that cluster a new cluster could develop here in the capital is this new spike in reported infections frank a sign that containment efforts are failing. well i'm not sure about that

one of the things about this new cluster is that 2 of the people that were working in that cult center that tested positive were members of shin john g. that's the cult at which one so-called patients $31.00 spread the virus to many people and sort of initiated that outbreak in daegu which now includes more than 60 percent of those in south korea it's unclear whether that was to sion junji members at the call center initiated the outbreak here in seoul so whether or not the containment is succeeding i think we have to compare where we would be if the government wasn't engaged in the intense p.r. campaign to see people wash their hands more wear masks and stay indoors more and refrain from from large public gatherings south korea is a major industrial power in asia what impact is the coronavirus outbreak having on the economy there well i'd like to refer very specifically to to

a story i was told today a business person that i know was trying to contact his accountant he couldn't get ahold of them all day yesterday and finally got a call back from his account late in the day and and asked why why were you so busy all day today and the accountant answered i was answering calls from business people about how they can lay off employees that are regular workers that have you know some 10 years some some experience and you know some seniority because the intensity of this outbreak is having a serious effect on businesses not just small markets but but also large businesses frank thank you very much that was reporter frank smith in seoul. well for all the latest on the coronavirus including information on what you can do if you think you might be infected please do visit our website there's reliable information there

that's at d.w. dot com through now to the u.s. and joe biden appears to have cemented his position as the frontrunner in the us democratic presidential race the former vice president has scored big wins in 4 of 6 states holding contests in the race to select the democratic nominee including the largest prize michigan the results are a blow to biden's rival for the nomination for months senator bernie sanders although some of his supporters say he still has a slim chance of winning. here's what joe biden had to say to his supporters this election is it more and it has character on the ballot you character the candidates the character the nation is on the ballot is more than a comeback in my view archaea. see comeback for the soul of this nation. this campaign is taking off and i believe we're going to do well from this point on take nothing for granted one earn every single vote in every single state. well in last

week's super tuesday biden leapt ahead in the delegate count and now he's putting that leave the total account currently stands at 823 delegates for biden compared to 663 for sanders the number of delegates reflects popular support in each state and a candidate needs at least 1991 to win the democratic nomination outright . well our reporter peter want to dial has been following the primary all along good to see this morning peter a big night for joe biden but is it enough to not bernie sanders out of the race well we're not quite there yet but it is certainly hard to see how sanders bounces back after that as he went from you know front runner to truly pretty badly in just a few weeks next tuesday could then sound the death knell of sanders we have $577.00 additional delegates up for grabs in 4 states florida arizona illinois

ohio minus a favorites win in every one of them so it is very hard to see how sinners bounce back but this was an important primary michigan sanders had staked his comeback his hopes on a comeback on michigan what went wrong for him great i mean this is this is a state that he won surprisingly against hillary clinton in 2016 hillary clinton not that different of a candidate than joe biden. sander staked his his whole campaign and his whole can see this year on you know being the person who can bring together broad coalition of you know white working class voters black voters latino voters young voters. for all the fervor we've seen at his rallies though those people have not turned out especially young voters have not turned out when it mattered on election day biden on the other hand we've seen you know

a search on like anything anyone had expected we've seen black voters turn out in droves for and we've seen. you know especially suburbanites who really really crucial here in michigan turned out for biden you know say people vote with their wallets the economy is doing well so what people are focused on right now is who is the best candidate to beat trump that for them seems to be biden well that's my next question given that biden does have a commanding lead can we. back to democrats to come up with a common strategy now rallying behind biden to beat trump awfully optimistic questions he says you know he's racked up a long line of indorsement from you know it specially a lot of the candidates who dropped out of the race just most recently yesterday we saw. you yanks for instance who many thought would make you side with sanders he went for biden not a lot of support left in the democratic party you know the establishment for

sanders and. so that does not bode well for sanders definitely it bodes well for biden the problem is that a lot of people on the left are not excited about mine and spoke to a lot of sanders supporters say they simply can't see how they can back a guy like biden. what about the corona virus that has exploded in the middle of this campaign is it making itself felt on the campaign trail well we've definitely seen them scale back to complaints both biden and sanders have called called off rallies tuesday evening there's a debate coming up on sunday that's been it's not been canceled but it's going to help with out a live audience but the turnout itself does not appear to suffer so i think essentially what we're seeing is you know they decided to be trump is for now at least as big as the desire to beat the coronavirus peter thanks so much for the reporter peter lola doll thank you for. so you quick look out some of the other

stories making headlines around the world a pakistani air force plane has crashed in the capital islamabad the officials say the u.s. built f. 16 was taking part in rehearsals for an upcoming military parade there's been no immediate word on casualties. russia's president vladimir putin has backed proposal that would allow him to stay in power until 2036. hooten told lower house of parliament that he would support the measure if it was approved by a constitutional court and supported by voters in the next referendum in a month's time well 2 months after hosting a summit on the libya conflict germany's chancellor angela merkel has met the libyan military commander general califano in berlin merkel stressed the importance of a ceasefire and finding a political solution after his forces have been fighting the un backed libyan government for control of the capital tripoli for almost a year. and violence broke out in venezuela's capital caracas as demonstrators

there have been many more deadly attacks in europe or mind ourselves of a few of them one was in norway in 2011 on july 22nd of that year right wing extremists and us having planted bombs in the capital all slow and then went on a shooting rampage at a youth camp killing 77 people terrorist strike again here in berlin on in 2016 on december 19th the tunisian asylum seeker radicalized by islamic state stole a truck and drove it into a christmas market killing 12 people and the year before that paris was hit by a series of attacks on nov 13th islamic state militants struck the national sports stadium as well as numerous restaurants and the buffett clan music club 130 people were killed a reporter lisa lewis met one survivor in paris. returning to the

battle plan is an act of for assistance for cutting that hole it was inside that she survived one of france's worst terror attacks the massacre at the batter clan was part of a series of assaults across paris in which 131 people died and should. have . been for you to me i still get a knot in my stomach when i come here but i didn't want to develop a phobia so quite soon after wards i started coming back to the battle plan it's like a pilgrimage i'm remembering the dead and reminding myself of how lucky i am. catherine survived the assault unharmed or so it seemed shortly afterwards she developed what many other victims of terror attacks suffer post-traumatic stress disorder p.t.s.d. . head 1st i was in denial about the symptoms but then i developed

a cold hypervigilance noises like doors slamming shut things hitting the ground or balloons bursting really scared me i had auditory house in nations and imagined hearing sirens and i blamed myself for being a life like the others had to die so that i could live on it felt like i was going crazy. her family and friends were struggling to understand what she was going through and katrine felt incapable of putting her feelings into words so she found another method to express them. i put all my suffering into my drawings and it's a great relief it's like a fasces i wanted people to understand how i was suffering from this invisible injury this huge millstone stands for all the symptoms of my p.t.s.d. but how much. but she realized her drawings could do more than just help her alone

that's why she decided to put them in a book. my fellow survivors said that my drawings showed exactly what they were going through they took them to their relatives and friends and that helped them reconnect with their loved ones i think my drawings could also help other victims of terrorism or people suffering other traumas across the world. kathleen has since published a 2nd book which includes drawings of more every day ordinary problems that's her way of getting back to some sort of normal life but the attack changed her forever from lessons. catherine to pretoria for what it's like i'm a new cutty now the old me is dead i have no time to lose and i want to live life to the full the 2nd book is a symbol of my new life i have

a lot of goals and want to further develop my art. cutting will also keep returning to the bottom line she says she's determined not to give into the fear the terrorists have awaken in her. coronavirus is set to disrupt german football with some teams playing without hearing a cheer chant or a boo the stadiums will be empty for the 1st time black box match against cologne is the 1st to be played in silence. german football is known for attracting a sea of supporters last week some fans have glovebox to precautions against the coronavirus but the same seats will be empty during their next home match against rival cologne 7 a historical precedent for the top flight in germany. the $52.00 primarily affects the fans but of course it will also hit. since most you can imagine there are

financial consequences if you will have to see whether it's just going to be for this game or whether it's going to affect more games what is the next stage answers to those questions are left up to local health authorities and german football stadium seats over 50000 and the club says it's set to lose an estimated 2000000 euros in revenue for their upcoming match under the circumstances fans forced to miss the action understand the idea of safety 1st. on the one hand i think that's good for people's health. i think you have to make sure that safety comes 1st for people. and games will unfortunately get cancelled and this is already the case and it's only games without fans are already planned. dortmund's home match against shoka arguably the league's biggest rivalry will be without the $80000.00 spectators normally on hand and the good clubs alex
