received for these 2 sexual offenses it's been a dramatic day in the. past and we thought the weinstein being wheeled into the courthouse in a wheelchair in handcuffs another sign of his significant fall from grace we heard move from a movie mogul actually addressed the call and make a sound for himself and we also heard from the victims in that case the 2 women the harvey weinstein was convicted pathetic the parents again. addressing the court saying how for example many highly one of the in fact production assistant who. was to be oral sex on in 2003 she said that the assault had crushed a part of her spirit and that if weinstein were free he would go on to attack women again and again and again the other victim in the case jessica man a former actress. convicted of

charges we're going to be hearing more about that case as it progresses towards what could be another dramatic trial a top sentence in that case 28 years on top of the $23.00 go on today and of course that's not where the legal actually legal action is going to when we've heard from once the defense lawyer charges not just the a merger it would have got a 20 year sentence so obviously there's going to be and he'll again the conviction and. i think i could talking to thank you so much james ronnell in new york germany's chancellor angela merkel house was that up to 70 percent of the german population could become infected with a new coronavirus that figure equates to about 58000000 people 3 people have been confirmed dead in the country from the because of the virus and about 1300 are infected the chance to assess the country is ready to spend whatever it takes to

prevent the viruses spread appearances from the chancellor at such news conferences are rare but medical went on the offensive after weeks of holding back unlike the german health minister beside her she hasn't visited any hospitals now she has stepped up to appeal to the public. doesn't so does our solidarity our rationality and our compassion for one another are being put to the test i hope we pass this test. but the chancellor warned the crisis shouldn't lead to a europe in total isolation co-existence has to continue she said a remark echoed by the health minister who said it required discipline and that everyone would have to make some sacrifices. for this reason we've called for the cancellation of major events and changes in our daily routines. that means everyone has to do something for themselves and the society as

a whole the same applies to businesses authorities and all of us. the message don't panic but the signal is clear the situation is serious the president of the robert koch institute estimates that 2 thirds of the german population could become infected and that the number of serious cases will increase. the government offices mayors and hospitals have to prepare for more patients. were at the beginning of this epidemic so they need to set up their plans and strategies to deal with as many of these patients as possible. time is of the essence now the sooner the preparations are made the more effectively hospitals will be able to manage the certain infections with their existing capacity as well as from. science political actually political and. who is at our studio so welcome both let's start with you. through some of the chancellor's other parts. well

it was a rather sober assessment of the situation and she basically told the public that this fire was was now here and that it would be here to stay for some time that there would indeed be more deaths and that this was a situation where the government doesn't really have all the answers yet so that's pretty strong stuff for a country that likes to see the political brand of stability that you provided bungler machall in place she pretty much echoed the scientists who's pretty much in charge of this the head of the whole box call institute here in germany those recommendations to take care not to have gatherings of more than 1000 people and at the same time just reminding ourselves that she came out of a conference call with e.u. leaders calling for you approach of course also knowing that joint

approach will be cut short spur tensity just by the very fact that every country is pretty much fending for itself right now in trying to track this disease and trying to stop it from spreading so it's chancellor merkel right the best we can do now is slow this outbreak down rather than fight it back well that's what the experts are saying i mean that was really the main one of the main focuses of this conference was to say we have to slow it down and the 2nd thing that the reason that we have to slow it down is because we have to give ourselves time in order to do things like develop a vaccine against a vaccine is going to be incredibly important and further and further fighting this virus because a vaccine for example will help the people the medical personnel who are on the front lines they would be the 1st people to get a vaccine if and when one came but also will give us more time to develop antivirals are there is one actually invest in the running right now it will give us time to test it so the longer we can push out the eventual wave that is going to

come the better off will be. at the moment that it does come and then of course she also said and she repeated it repeatedly over and over again that we need to protect the people who are most vulnerable that means the elderly people who are over the age of $65.00 are much more likely to suffer to end up dead from this virus than people that are under that age and so we need to those people and the chronically ill of the people that need our protection and that we can only do that as a society ok so what's the most important thing we should remember as this outbreak spreads well i mean the most important things are still always the most simple things are the things that individual things that individuals can do or go to the w.h.o. website and look at the look at the rules for interaction you can do something wash your hands regularly there's simple things as a list of 4 or 5 things when you're in public transport for example use cough etiquette cough into your elbow rather than their very simple things that you can do and also don't forget it's important not to panic because 4 out of 5 people who

get this virus have very mild symptoms or are even asymptomatic so it's it's important to really to remember that and not fall into this frightened atmosphere ok. let's just pick up on one of the points you made at the start this talk of a europe wide response so the corona outbreak what do the chancellor say about italy which is suffering the biggest outbreak outside china at the moment. if there was a focus in the european a person she mapped out on the financial system systems of stabilizing the economy and then she got a concrete question from an italian journalist what about it's really were many doctors and she was being a bit more cagey there she said that germany was of course not indifferent to what is happening in italy where the situation is far less in the control than it is here in germany of right now but that she would have to act responsibly and consider what assistance to provide bearing of course in mind that this was

a stress test for all health structures in every european country and beyond mckenna thank you derek williams thank you. all coronaviruses now in fact to the professional football in germany 23 year old to you know who burst place for 2nd division side heart of the team said he was probably in fact to the to social event on saturday evening and has had no contact with players or staff since i was teen on staff i've now been testing the names in corners. when well the italian government says it will dramatically increase some of money it is prepared to spend on the racing the effects of coronavirus roads putting aside 25000000000 euros to mitigate the impact on the economy italy's the worst hit country by the virus in europe it's in the 2nd day national quarantine which most italians seem to be observing. on lockdown its streets on

obscured by the usual hordes of too 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 in 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 yet 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. focus 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 a much more efficient book 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 affect every pillar of italian life. but it will take

a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world joe biden has made significant gains in the latest round of u.s. presidential primaries solidifying his position us a front runner for the democratic party and nomination came as a blow to the party's left wing which had been banking on a strong showing the bernie sanders. japan has been paying tribute to the victims of the 2011 fukushima nuclear power plant disaster powerful earthquake and ensuing tsunami killed more than 800000 people because the country's worst ever nuclear accident this year's ceremony was kept small because of the corona virus outbreak. now europe is remembering the victims of terrorism today especially events in paris will pay tribute to people killed or affected by terror attacks the e.u. established the european day of remembrance of victims of terrorism following a deadly attack in madrid in 2004 on march the 11th of that year islam is militants

on how people are coping in the aftermath of such a traumatic incident. can and his colleagues from the victims advisory board at the market place where the attack took place 3 weeks ago since then the city has not been the same. because. we're getting more and more responses from relatives and eyewitnesses and from the city community that there is a latent fear. not because they're too often asked there's a gives us cause for concern. so our afraid to take their children to school that they're scared to go anywhere. this is actually the case at the moment moment. here in hanna as town hall the advisers try to give the victims' families help and support each family has its own advisor. relatives need a lot of peace and silence and sympathy now above all they need

a lot of stability a feeling of security that we are there that we take care of things that things are on their way common. tasks range from organizing the funerals and paperwork to simply listening and being there. after and the families are in deep pain. they bear wounds which we will never be able to heal. but what i see and really appreciate is that they're not just in despair and they are not at all angry and resentful towards us or toward society. after. today holbert and his colleagues are visiting the kiosk come up with the bill he watched from his shop as the assassin shot through the door of a shisha across the street he knew many of the victims and like many other locals has been terrorized by the experience. in any case we can't forget it

it will be in us. and we will carry it with us for years. because we all knew the guys. and i was there that night as i said. and it's just hard to forget something like that but we have to live on far as we can as best we can. get. it to this day he's afraid if someone comes into the kill ask later tonight or person more stuff or listen to his concerns. or see if we know one or 2 people who are always there for you and back you up and say come on you need to go here or get this done that's very nice this year and all those 14 ish. i think the others are also very glad that they take care of us and ask.

relatives and friends of the victims say a thorough investigation is crucial to come to fake news about the perpetrator and help soothe their sense of insecurity they also say the state urgently needs to do more to tackle racism. now to the biggest arctic expedition of all time the research ship or polar star set off in september is now about halfway through its year long journey $300.00 researchers from 17 countries are on board trying to work out how ice water and the atmosphere interact with each other progress is slow as when the ship set out from tromso in northern norway it deliberately got itself frozen into the snow so it's rely on the ice to move it forward and so the will cover about 2500 kilometers is the double it has been tracking the expeditions progress. stuck in the ice in the total darkness of

the polar night the international mars 8 expedition is surveying the arctic for a whole year the region is crucial to the whole globe. while they're there the scientists aboard literally go with the flow of the natural eye stripped beyond the reach of ice breakers until some team leader marcus rex made a brief trip back on land and shared his experiences at this. time for for the it's fascinating when you turn off the ships and and let it freeze into the ice it suddenly goes silent a moment. before the ship was always moving through waves in the ocean breaking through ice. it's got this and then all movement stops it can be a bit scary often for from this the scientists have installed a huge research camp around the ship $100.00 tons of scientific equipment kilometers of cables measurement stations with a range of 50 kilometers. the science team measures more than 100 different aspects

of the climate for example the composition of the atmosphere or of clouds they want to understand the so-called new arctic under the influence of climate change the 1st observations already show. that the ice is more fragile. more rethink it is. ok. in f.a. in that he expected us to get there to look for an ice flow that was thick enough. that was already difficult to find one with but then i expected that there would be some rifts and shifts in the ice for the front but not to the extent that we experienced them. how movement of one of the most impressive moments was when i was called to come on today because met city huge installation of different instruments moved past the ship. for the whole part of the flow just drifted by the strict with

characterize the next part of the expedition but. until september the research vessel and its science team will drift together with the ice over the arctic ocean to better understand this region that is so crucial to our whole planet. now london's tate modern art gallery is staging a new exhibition of the work of pop art pioneer and the warhol from thursday more than $100.00 of his works will go on display including his famous images of marilyn monroe coca-cola bottles and soup cans would shine a light on american consumer culture. have belonging to the artist and the warhol fake of course after he lost his real hair in his twenty's he chose to wear ostentatious weeks instead he owned $100.00 of them at the time of his death the mark of a man he treats his fake hair as he does everything else in the pursuit of the
