of. the w. h. is kink idea actually the same. i'm declaring a public in. of internet c concern. over the global outbreak of normal colonna i coronavirus. the main for this declaration is not because of what is happppening n china but because of what is happening in other countries. our greatest concern is the potential for the virus to spread to countries who is weaker hello systems and which are ill prepared to deal with it. nothing without stories thirty full and lines are reported to have canceled flights to china as the country battles a growing number of corona virus cases and now with the travel chaos continue acacross the globe i would like to cross now too i guess that's jonathan bowl his of a religious and professor at the

university of nottingham. thank you so much for being with us- here in france twenty four we've just had a public health emergencies been declared what does this mean exactly. well recently means of the whl and coordinates the member states to. act and a couple in a coordinated way in a in a collaborative wayay in this been a lots of international collaboration so far. but it just gives w. i chose that extra. bits of teeth to ensure that all countries work together nothing because starts tendrils pointed out that the major concern. i is not so much places like france of the uk or the united states. because these have great- infrastructures have great and health s student systems on the also have fantastic surveillance in plplace. but its the countries that lack that. places like subsaharan africa parts of the- asian consonants. where if the virus is introduced those systems wouldn't be able to deal with

the introductction of the vivir. in the same way and sees of the country's us talk about. so would discussing different mechanisms that i'm place do you think a declaration like this can help galvanise. international funding. yes it can n help the and into of. getting a increase in nj. of cash into the problem but i think it also makes a bold statement that this is a problem. so we no longer thing that you know this will just go away by its own accord we have to act. as a collaboration as as a group of countries to ensure that we bring this under control and that's not only in china but to ensure that it doesn't spread elsewhere. but of course the biggest problem not the moment is china not because he's the threats to the other parts of the world. to resemble eve just said we have to act in of course up until this point the w. h. a has been. criticized by some players pole if you like down playing the situation from the outset. i think that the

organization the u. n. body didn't really pay enough attention to the virus. i'm not sure it's in the case of it didn't pay enough attention if we think about the outbreak. it started probably in the middle of november with the spillover of a virus from an animal into humans. and then at the end of december- the chinese authorities are listed w. h. on made everybody went to the was this outbreak and then about two weeks later they identified as a novel coronavirus. bands so what's h happenedd thehen ase started to get to learn a bit about the viruses behaviorr and interests s is still looks that we don't know about this virus but we do know now is different to things like the sars coronavirus this bill time into two in two thousand two. now we know that because around eight thousandnd infections worldwide resulted in eight hundred deaths but it was fairly easy to control by in what we call infection control in the us identifying individuals who are infected. isolating them and

then tracing contacts and monitoring them but what we see the current viruses is behaving slightly differently. coronavirus used to presentó people who are infected ste transmitting virus presented with simpson's and they're easy to identify and isolate but unfortunately at the moment with a novel coronavirus. that all a number of individuals infected inner think probably about 80% of the individuals infected have mild symptoms or maybe no symptoms at all they might be featured in the virus but they're very difficult to identify. because at this time of year it looks like a normal cold or flu infection. now you said we're learning a the virus este we can to about assigned at this stage of racing they've set to develop some kind of the vaccine but that doesn't appear to be a quick solution if you like because of course this is a new infection that we're dealing with. there's no quick fix it your your ride and at the moment that's starting to

trial- drugs into being used for hiv. we don't know if they'll be effective against a novel coronavirus on in terms of the vaccine. we haven't even you know we only knew what this farce was about two weeks ago- we con just mágica provider cincinnati the has to be some. some of ouour she would to kind at to trying to establish a vaccine candidate will several vaccine candidates. they have to be tested in the lab they have to be tested in animals have to be shown that the safe in humans. and then we can be rolled out in the old takes time. ten of them but like if you for sharing your insights with us here on france ninety full. thank another world news the us secretary of state has said that washington and london. would to retain and in hasta special relationship once the u. k. leaves the european union. according to observers prime minister boris johnsons hades however for us trade deal have been complicated. by donald trump's on popularity in britain. and two leaders of
