things i want to pick up on. when you say -- concerning the spread, that it is happening, how is it spreading? >>t is spreading human to human. initially, someone was in contact with someone from china. in iran, there isin a lot of rchange between iran and china. there was a case. theyvi caught ths and then they have been silently transmittiun it in the coy. by the time you pick it up, it has already spread quite widely. judy: when you sa silently, what does that mean? >> what makes this so tricky is that it has a low death rate but people canmi trawhen they are asymptomatic. they mig systems p -- mild symptoms. another thing of deep concern is

the fact that we are seeing rapid spread in congregant seings as in prisons, hospitals, churches. anywhere someone -- anywhere have a large outbreak which isld happened in korea. judy: h we are seei china has handled this where it hasum been for ar of weeks. what is your assessment with how these other countries like south korea --how are they capable of handling it? >> south korea is an enigma o because it h of the best health systems in the world though they did notane the mers epidemic. they did not pick this up early. it spread quite widely. and there are runs on hospitals. hospitals cannot cope. that is not good a we don't

really know what is going on in iran. imagine this -- it is foreseeable that it could leave iran and go to syria or afghanistan. once he got into a country that had a fragile state, a week help system, that -- a weak health system, that would be a game changer. you would have refugee cps, ma migrations around the world. we n take this seriously. the good news is it has a for talladega rate. judy: i wanted -- a relatively low fatalityate. judy: how can the u.s. keep it from spreading? local health departments are the best and the world and are well. i do foresee some problems. if we do have sustained

community transmission a that would ossibility and even some poinod at you will start to see a run on hospitals and clinics. capacity.eed a lot more congress willat allocate an emergency allocation for this. judy: and by community ontransmisou mean --? >> it is not a travel related case. it is just human to human transmission. it is here. we are communicating it within our neighborhoods. judy: that is what we are watching for. . lawrence gossen, thank you very much. and now, to the financial fallout and for that, we turn to the chief economist advisory firm, grant your tin. welcome back to the "newshour" to you. what have the financial markets seen today? >> you saw over the weekend this

crescendo of information. it is no longer just a china ing. i am surprised markets had not reacted sooner to be honest given that china has touch points into every other economy in the world includi our own. they are part of the global supply chain. you can utdown productio i the u.s. by shutting down production ichina. what they saw er the weekend was at it moved to sit -- it moved to south korea and then italy. you will see parts of korea shutdo. those kinds of economic lost sale in february will not come back in april. you have lost sales. imyou ve act on supply and demand. and you have these sales not the inmate and putting some

businesses out of business entirely. it could stress a lot of profits and the u.s. is not immune. judy: a reminder that this economy is global. if anyone doubted it. >> exactly. we have lkages all over the world. our financial markets are inherently tied and you cannot undo those ties. we have the g20 meeting. maybe we should be more reonally based and not so globally-based is what they are thinking. ieyou cannot put the gack in the bottle. judy: the virus has been in the news for weeks. we have been watching ghat has beng on in china. what is it about right now that triggered today's selloff? >> over the weekend you saw that it was not jusioa china in scope.hat it was global it is going to hit and all of

these different places as the professor laid out. it could cause massive disruptions. and the disruptions are t easily fixed with fiscal stimulus, tax cuts orin cut interest rates. you cannot recoup some of these and there is a lin effect. the reality of what was once horror movie on a screen is now a reality check that this c actually happen and that will businesses.behavior of a fear factor will act like a tax on the global economy. and in the u.s., people will be afraid to congregate or go to public laces. conferences being canceled. judy: is there a sense that governments -- you just said there were limits to what governments can do. is there anything governments can do? taking health precautions. >> there are thing-- some

reina consumers are big consumers everyw in france, they are seeing a 30%-40% reduction in tourism. >> yes because it is withingi te nafta and the usmca. that would mean more production closer to home rather than in china. people will be pulling out of china and moving to mexico. not necessarily to the u.s. but it keeps it within the north american free trade region. judy: a lot of moving parts. diane swan, thank you so much. ♪ christy: good evening. i am filling in for stephanie side. we will return to step -- judy woodruff. in a late development to our top story, the white house is addin

allegations about former hollywood mogul, harvey weinstein were revered -- revealed and i-17 but there is no questiothat the weinstein investigation was a milestone moment for what would become an international movement. weinstein's convictions today on two felony sex counts is seen as another important milestone. amna: six women testify during the trial that weinstein assaulted them that it was cases involving jessica man and miriam haley that led to the convictions. jury of seven men and five women on charges of rape in the third degree and aminal sexual assault. he was acquitted of the most serious charg -- rape in the first degree and predatoryal sessault. elizabeth was in the courtroom today. she reports for variety and welcome to the "newshour."

when the verdict was read, what was the reaction in the room and specifically from harvey weinstein? elizabeth: it is interesting because after covering this nce january 6, it has been a long trial. everyone that has been in the courtroom every day has been waiting for this moment. when the moment finally came, it almostea seemed su there were no loud, audible gasps. it felt like no one in there was breathing. i looked directly at harvey deinstein and his face loo stoncold like there was no reactionts really wver but i have to be honest, it was hard to see harvey because he was surrounded by a swarm of court officers. every day, there ar tofficers insi courtroom but the second the bell rang saying the jury had reached a verdict,

double the number of officers came surrounding harvey he did not do anything signaling he would need the court officers there but it is typical that they surround a defendant. amna: he was found guilty on two counts. they were relateto the cases involving two women whose stimony you heard in great detail. we have t heard fromurors yet. but from what you heard in the courtroom, what was mo compelling and their testimony that may have leto those guiltyharges? elizabeth: what is really interesting, particularly with jessica man -- she had a grueling testimony that took three days. she had to be taken off the stand numerous times. t.e felt she was having a panic attack aone po there was a lot of conversation was.t how complex her testimony would jurors believe her? the defense brought up a lot of

evidence of phone records and emails from these women but particarly jessica man who had about five yearsn f communicatth harvey weinstein. she admitted on the stand that part of the relationship was ensual that it was complex because he was abusive a he raped her on march 13.os that was thesurprising part. that was the most surprising part of the jury's verdict. i would imagine that something of her testimony was very compelling to them. maybe what her defense was thinking what not be credible with her, that it was so complex , workedn her favor. the jurors felt it was so compgx that there was someth there. that she seemed so credible. amna:nghis is the that everyone is wondering. what does this mome you were there every daywa

hing the testimony. do you think you can say -- this is the significance of this verdict? what is ur biggest take away from the trial? elizabeth: harvey certainly is and was emblematic, a big and powerful figure certainly in hollywood but stretching across numerous industries. this is something his defense brought up from day one. this is why the trial is not fair. this is harvey weinstein, he has been the poster boy of a moment. that is why this is not fair and he should not be found guilty. thats a significance.ay. for all of thesert years, nly in hollywood, that he has been seen as big, powerful figure that can never, ever be taken down and now that it has

been shown that in a court of law, women can be hard. these are allegations. he was fnd guilty on two fferent charges. amna: that is elizabe reporting for variety and joining us from new york tonight. let look at the significance of that verdict not just forhe weinstein case but the arrger questionnd us all, the law, and the me too movement. national women's law center which works to change th laws to make it easier for women to come forward. you issued a statement after the verdict that red -- the verdict today delivers what you called a measure of justice. not fall, undeniable justice. >> my thoughts are with the silence breakers generally. it was not every count. what we know is that there was someustice and i hope it begins to bring them some healing.

they did not find him guilty on the charge that really looked at the pattern of conduct that he had. and for the silence breakers who came forward and -- in spite of all of the risks and had to sit in that courtroom as the defense brought up every rape myth imaginable. i hope the verdict today gives justice and healing.eling and relief. amna: it is worth reminding n 80 womhat more t have come forward with some kind of allegation against harvey weinstein. i do want to ask you -- we are waiting to see what the defense attorneys are saying. they have put out a statement sayingan they will appeathey also said there were issues in e triathat were troubling and they prejudiced hvey weinstein's ability to have his

case fairly judged. the defense rested their case in part on the idea that if someone raped your , why would you e in touch with that person? why would you remain tact with that person? that is what they went after jessica man with in cross questioning. i look at it as the lifecycle of a survivor is not what they were describing. it i, not to come forward right away. especially if this is a person in the same business as you, to see that person. what happened in the courtroom is they put out every rape myth which is so sticky in our culture andre the jurcted it. they relied on what is far more typical survivor behavio that is important. it demonstrates tha hperhaps we ha some real progress in the last two years.

stople really undding what violence looks like in this country. amna: another part of their defense -- this is not about believe to be tru about this man. raas we know wit cases in sexual assault cases, we are talking aboutt w happens between two people typically when they are alone. how do you balance that when yoc are talking countability and burden of proof? >> there are lots of ways to judge credibility of witnesses, not just in sexual violence cases but in any case. there are ofteno witnesses to particular crimes. it is only really in the issue of sexual violence that we start with the trope that the person is lighting. and the defense attorneys continued to put that myth out there. that they are likely lie yang.

and they did so in the courtroom as well as in interviews outside of the courtrooms well. amna there was a big question when these six women first came forward sharing their stories -- will it matter? will powerful men be held accountable in some way? it took dozens of stories. it took the new yortimes breaking stories. it took all of these women coming forward. it took years of holding this man accountable. this is not necessarily inspiring for women. >> here is what is inspiring -- because you are totally right that we had to have two different investigations. but i have been inspired by the fact that so many people did come forward. not just about allegations around harvey weinstein but about allegations regarding their own personal of user acro sectors.

the silence breaker is united i movement. and for the last few years, n people have blling their stories. they have been prompting states to introduce and pass laws. we have had over 200 bills states have passed laws tover 10 prove their harassmt -- or the way harassment works in their state. amna: and that was just in the last few years. >> the last two years. reot done and we won't be done until everyone can tell their story and know it will be received and taken seriously and amna: from thnational women's. law center come at thank you for being with us. judy:mitay with us. up on the "newshour"

about to shift in two supersonic mode. stake on saturdli in southe at ca. three days later, 1344 delegates will be up for grabs on super tuesday when the primary race goes semi-national. 14 states will vote that day along with american samoa and amereaans abroad. campaign has limited time and their own plan to tackle bernie. forl joe biden it is all about south carolina where he visited a church yesterday hoping to be the first contender to beat e.sanders in the popular v he singled out sanders in a recent >> bernie wanted to primary rack in 20 12. i have had his back the whole time.

bernie wanted a primary. >> i am so exced to be with you. reporter: another tactic, go wide. pete buttigieg spent the weekend in colorado and in virginia. >> i respect my friend, senator nders. i believe the ideals he talks about are those that we share. but i also belve that the way we will t bui movement to defeat donald trump is to call people in t our tent and not to call them names online. reporter: today in south carolina, marching for a hig or minimum wautside of the donald's,eg butti faced a sharp challenge himself. protestersollowed him to his car challenging him on his record as mayor. even elizabeth warren is taking on sanders, a ange from distressing camaraderie with

him. her approach and denver, senate process. >> there are a lot of places e agree on things we wan to fight for. but bernie supports the filibustering. i want tget rid of that. porter: and then there is the northern campan taken by amy klobuchar. focusing on her hometown state. as a race around the country, democrats are also competing for key gropes and as a result, some are still launching take policy ideas. sanders is speaking to families this morning releasing a sweeping plan to guarantee free, all infants and kids sco young for hool. for biden, relying on minority support, itn his p housing.

and that brings us to politics on monday. i am here with amy walter and camera keith from npr. -- tamara keith from npr. ladies, let us talk about bernie sanders. there are some who say he is not the most electable of the democrats and they point to things like his 60 minutes interview this weekend. let us play a clip. this is what he said about fidel castro. >> it is unfair to say that everything is that when he came into office, he had a massive literacy program. even though -- reporter: on the other hand, there are those that may say -- th say he is the most electable democrat.

let us look at pennsylvania and michigan. bernie sanders bting trump. solve this riddle for us. is he the most or least electable democr? >> right now, the racea i referendum on donald trump. how people feel about donald trump is how they say they are voting at this moment in time. if you like donald trump, youg are go vote for him or if democrat or say you aree for a undecided. a do not have a sense of who these democrats are if you are a democrat, you want the race against donald trump to look like the 2018 midterm you wanted to look feke a ndum on donald trump and his policies. if however it becomes a choice

between donald trump and fill in the blank candidate, it becomes much more challenging for someone like bernie sanders who has positions on issues that we know are unpopular. and the cook report and the kaiser foundation went into a lot of the state that you mentioned, midwesterstates and we asked the question about how voters felt on issues like fracking. swing voters in those states -- those are unpopular positions. we know what that looks like. candidates on the ballot in the districts who ran in 2018 are now membersf congress, democrats. they are not aligning with bernie sanders either because they know the voters and the catching -- try to tie them to socialism and me for all. >> electability has alwa been

an amorphous thing. reporter: you can get it wrong. >> and there is a history of democratic voters sometimes going for the most electable candidate like john kerry. or president obama at the time was seen as the risky pick at least for a whilentil he wasn't anymore and the pareh consolidatedd him. in some ways, itkn is hard to . other people running against him would argue that no matter which one ends up ruing against donald trump, they will say he is a cop -- ty will say they are a communist. reporter: we do have five other democratic candidates stillr o six -- w have five minutes left

which is why i am thinking of that number. i want to talk about their potential paths. doesormer vice president joe biden have to win in south carolina? caroli, he needs to win south look at super tuesday. a lot of those states have a demographic makeup that los a lot like south carolina where african-american voters make up a significant chunk of the electorate. texas, 27%. arkansas, north carolina, tennessee, and virginia. he did not do as well in nevada ith latino voters. yes, doing well there -- if he wins it means he did well among african-american voters but just how well? did he blow the doors off or did he squea by? and remember, biden does not

have a lot of money. at the end of january, he only had about $7 million in the bank. does he have the juice to go into the super tuesday states which are already voting. >> and a couple of things could prevent him from blowing the doors off. one is tom steyer who has that his campaign on winning over ourican-american voters in carolina. and the other is bernie sanders who in nevada showed he performed pretty well with black voters and cut in to what in the should he been joe biden's lock on that part of the electorate. reporter: michael bloomberg has not been on any ballots yet. what is his path? >> he was not a moving picture.

a still photo. he has been preparing for the next debate he needed to prepare because the last one was pretty bad. i think universally viewed as catastrophically. he and bernie sanders are the only truedidates to have the resources to compete in every super tuesday stage. they have the organization on sanders organization is more organic. and bloomberg's comes from him spending money. super tuesday. for >> the pitch is that these other guyso not have the resources sanders or donald trump he has to show himself to be competitive for super tuesday. he hass already spentch money as president obama spent

on his entire reelection. reporter: elizabeth warren seattle, washington drawing huge crowds. 7000. she seems toe having a moment with some of her supporters. and then pete buttigiergg in ia, in arlington. talk about them and the rest of the race. >> we are going into the most diverse states now. thoseandidates look at nevada. and only elizabeth warren broke into double digits with african-american vots. the other candidates were only able to get single digits. it is going to be hard for them to get any traction. >> we are in a moment of a collective action problem. every one of these campaigns has put out a memo saying those other candidatesou should drop

that candidate should go. none of them wanto go. none of them see themselves as part of the problem. unless they can come together and figure out one hand or bearer, then berni sanders -- one standardbearer, then bernie sanders will continue to rack up voters. reporter: thank you for joining us. ♪ judy: now, to americapolitics abroad. president trump is in india receiving a warm welcome from the prime minister and crowds in aacked stadium. as our special correspondent reports from delhi, the embrace was also met wpoh protests. er: president trump got a hug from the prime minister as a
