corona virus. people with the illness can now be forcibly quarantined. and two hospitals have b been designated as isolation facilities. the incidence or transmission of novel coronavirus constitutes a serious an imminent threat to public health. and the measures outlined in these regulations are consididered as an effective means of delaying or preventing further transmission of the virus. while the e. u. has said it's time for facts not fear brussels is also taking the crisis seriously. calling a meeting of the council of health ministers later this week. this is whatt is s some epididemic this is a serious danger for public health this virus as you know spreads with great speed. sold measures have to be taken and- we are trying to see that they are taken in a coordinated manner. the outbreak was the cat a global emergency by the world health organization on the thirtieth of january. outside of china the virus has been detected in

at least twenty four countries. pausing a grim milestone head over nine hundred deaths the corona virus has already killed more people than the songs crisis. which cool seven hundred and seventy four deaths worldwide over the course of several months in two thousand and two. it's full it's the true number of cases globally could fall out number the figure that's been officially confirmed. the shortage of testing kits has made it difficult to get accurate statistics some epidemiologists say they could be up to a hundred thousand people withth the e disease. turkish forces claim they've had a hundred and fifteen syrian government targets. destroyed a hundred one of t them i in retaliaiatior an attack that t killed fivee turkish soldierss i in syria's rebel held north west. via official sources inn turkey say that the- trips to continue to retaliate on a a attacacks upon the it's a personal- whichever observation posts in the

is a head. w. party for the gale of p prime minister leo varadkar looks like the biggest loser the other traditional party government. on a foil is well placed to take a key if not dominant role in any coalition. under leader merit in the tunnel shin fane formally referred to as the ira's political wing. is moving away from that era and its agenda is left wing focusing on the inequalities in our society jobs and housing she says that is a two party domination and i was politics all over. feeling reflected it seems on the streets. wewell what's worse thy could do you know we've had twenty thirty years how many years of faithful in a gale. so they've had a shot and again again sign for some yes give a shot whether it's- there trouble pastor as a parody or not. you know they deserve a shot same as everybody else so. why not. but i hope we see slightly in sentences maybe to the left i hope to find form some sort of a- i notifications

and- because the policies s and we need to be chananged. watchig for older elelements- on thosose servrvice alters the- keep comig in and we'll bring cash everything to you as it happens that the issue of iran's politics is also of course the topic of the front of the whole debate. which you can see the course after midnight here. on this channel. next taking off from cape canaveral in florida europe and nasa's solar orbiter. rocketed into o space last night. on what is an unprecedented mission to capture the first. images of the sons of joseph homes. one point five billion dollar spacecraft will join nasa's pockets so the probe launched one and a half years ago incoming perilously close to the sun to unveil its secrets and as we all know you get too close. you get but. it's been down to the space mission of the century. a rococket carrying the seven the oldest croft has been sent to the space f from cape canavaveral. now beginning

the pitch over maneuvuver bodyy response l look good known ching unprecedented mission araround the sun. traveling at a maximum speed of two hundred and forty five thousand kilometers per hour. the probe will fly by venus and mercury before settling into orbit a around the sun. developed by the european space agency in close cooperation with nasa the probee will study the sun from a unique vantage point. getting a glimpse of the styles puna regions. scientists say the serial butter is equipped with state of ththe art instruments o protect it from extreme temperatures. it has avavailable shield temperatures will reach five hundred degrees on the site is exposed to the sun temperatures will drop to minus fifty degrees on the other. also the she'll have to protect the instruments that will upset the sun from the heat on the cold u up something or somethin. the probe will observe celellulr robson's that h have the potential to disrupt power grids and satellites in orbit. we see that embedded in the

solar wind when they arrive here at us they can really disrupt our technology they can cause problems for g g. p. asked for communications and of course full astronaut. the mission is set to last for ninety is incomplplete twenty to orbits of the sun. get someone else is on this one yet so zidan elia is from the european space agency he is deputy project scientist of the solar orbiter mission he joins us live now from cape. canaveral which i think sounds absolutely fantastic- yenice i'm expecting to learn lot seeee is- and i'm relying on you to give us some kind of explanation been seen the imagess in the e report i it looks like. a looks like star wars looks like sci fi but it's the reality of your job i find this absolutely remarkable and kudos to you tell us more about. bringing it down to earth i suppose one of the applicationsns of this what coud it lead us to what could be find out what you hope to get from it. well good evening it

is indeed the science fiction becoming through so t the first time will go so close to the sun and getting pictures frorom the sun and the spores. from that distance. so first of all these mission is about science this is fundamemental research e want to learn how the sun works. and how the solar wind and the eruptions will work.k. noww from the practicalal pointf viview there i is also. the fact that- we always have problems during- options we might have problems during your options with. our telecommunications with. possible blackouts energetic blackouts don't discuss h happened in ththe pas. and we want to prevent this. in order to prevent it we have to understand i'm very well in. the summer x. okay. that might make sense to you to me make a little sense i'm being honest nonow because- i count myself as one of those ignorant people regarding these things my questions may seemm very simple- but i think maybe other people might. appreciate them as well. the sun has poles. i didn't know that and tell us more

about these polls why is it important to locate them. so you know just like the air send all planets and the sun is a huge sphere. that is turning its rotating around itsts center so it does have pulled the north pole and the south pole. and we have never fleww above them with the telescope so this is the first time so this is why we want to go to see them. it's just likeke the e earth's boulders. as the post of the errors they are much different from thehe rest of the planets. and we didn't know that before going there. so it's's kinind oa new w exploratioion we want to . and i'm sorry to the region a region that we have never seen bebefore. absoluty amazing- you must feel like- a great pioneer the universe with what you have right now. well of my self. uniquely so we are thousands of engineers and s scientists workining coming north on the mission and w will work in the future. soo we are yeah we are modern explorers and pioneers. are discovering you regions of

the solar system. ancient mythology spoke about icarus flying too close to the somebody's waxwings any fell to less. out of the city. is there a danger that your project coululd have a s similar fate. e you concerned about what might happen. to your space craft as he gets closer to the sun. . so you know i'm greek so we have taken all measures so. more seriously mercer is it we have a very specific heaeat soooon tt will protect us from the five hundred degrees celsius and we have designed the uniquely for solar orbiter and we have taken all measures so that. way you could take one hi and this is whwhy w we cannot get closer we don't we go 228% of the distance between the sun and the earthh and we have- takaken extreme measures in order to make sure that everything will be good indeed so it caresses problem was he didn't have a team of scientists behind him when he was putting his wings

and keeping the government lacks. he took a big risks in terms of what you're doing coming back to the practicalities of the applications of this me clearly the more you learn about the sun the more you learn about our future i presume because- clearly. our survival depends on the some survival. so ththis time is thehere is t there is te main source of energy of our solar system are treated and the only onene. and that the moe we learnrn aboutut the s some oe morere we u understanand physice more we understand how this energygy i is produceded and al. probably some day being able to do. a producer and actor i can is it fromom a solution. so do you think the past like this on bass gigi honest you think that could be perhaps. somewhere down the line he is some kind of solution to the world's energy problems. in what you're trying to research now i think i'm just kind of thinking of possible applications of what you might discover. so our spacecraft is not designed to

stop the fusion it's so it's our it's about the e environment of the sound that magngnetic fields this on a wednesday matter that isis. getting ejejed out of our star. but of course we you never know withh fundamenental research so when you would have up the case since the exhaust like.e. whehee discovered electricity to centuries ago. and more than that at that time you wouldn't have. even imagined. 1% orr even less of the apppplicationons toy so some day. everything we learned will always be up and i. yeah this is an area from the european space agency and- deputy project scientist of the solar orbiter mission thank you sir joining us from cape canaveral. over the in florida and thank you for bringing us. some more insight into this amazing project which i'm convinced will one day make- a major. big screen film which brings us to our next story movie fans all over the world still come to terms with the- best picture oscar award. odds of the south korean film parasite director bong joon ho

was broken the mold. in more ways than one. the pools from soul train station to the office of the president's. some greens is celebrating a huge win for born june whose latest film parasites at the oscars is the first non english film to ever win best picture in more than ninety years of the wards and the first south korean picture ever to win an oscar to find conventional wisdom that the economy will always overlook subtitled films. i don't want to re open the deal can come t talk to you o on that this kind of event is a huge national celebration. quitting is all- wanna know much and i feel proud is a south korean knowing a south korean film won best picture at of all those films in his rooms one is a pool. i think it's a great honor that the film is being celebrated in america. despite the language barrier. some of

korean media cold it's well good. as the country struggles with fears over coronavirus and its economic full amounts. of the direct his old university film club students got together to watch the ceremony despite the uniniversity's recommendatin to avoid public therings. this is very meaningful from korean film history is being made it opens the way for furtheher development of content so need to detect quick witted it's happened impact not just on the world of cinema but also on the global discussion of inequality. south korea has one of the most extreme wealth gaps of all which countries but parasites betrayal of those left behind has resonated across borders. reservations the- film that really did- break at the molding of more action between that now but not paris time. it's not the business now get me to join us the us presence turning his eye to a brewing trade dispute with the european union yes having

already sealed that phase one trade deal with china in january. donald trump now says hihis administrationon will be tackling stole talks with brussels the top economic advisers white house is also indicated negotiations with the e. u. could be prioritized over talks on a new trade relationship post by exixit brititain. the t trump admininistration h has threatend to impose tariffs on european cars if it doesn't agree better terms washington is also impose tariffs on goods including french wine and italian cheese in a separate dispute over subsidies. and is threatened still more tariffs on french luxury products over planned attacks digital giants now president trump says a very serious talks with the u. officials are in the pipeline. over the last ten twelve years it's been a tremendous deficit with europe they have. barriers center incredible i didn't do that i wouldn't want to do that whwhile we were doing c china jn south korea you know i don't want to do the whole worldld at one titime. meanwhile the white house is submitted it spending proposals for the twenty twenty

one fiscal year. thehe four poit eight trillion dolla budget blueprint outlines a very slight increase in military spending. a 5% cut in non defense spending. that would include the department of housing and education. nasa would receive more funding well the environmental protection agency but it's the it's a federal budget slashed. there's also a request for two billion dollars for the wall along the us mexico border. the proposal would cut four point four trillion dollars in spending over the next decade. t the bulk of it from what social welfafare prograrams. thehe democrat controlled house of representatives is unlikely to approve the budget but it serves as a blueprint for the president's fiscal talking points. as he pushes his reelectition bid. the usus juste department hasas chargrged for chinese nationals with involvement in the hacking of credit rating from equifax. which affected nearly half the us population back in twenty seventeen. the trigger has the story. it took two years of investigation but the us justice department has finally

revealed who was behind one of the largest data breaches in history. i'm here to announce the indictment of chinese military hackers specifically for members of the chinese people's liberation army. for breaking into the computer systems of the credit reportingg agencies equifax the hackers obtained the names birthdates and social security numbers of nearly a hundred and fifty million americans. and many more besides around a million british and canadian citizens also have their information swept up in the hack three years ago. that led equifax to make a seven hundred million dollar settlement last t year with the fecec to consumerers ar a transponder did fail to fix a known security issue the crarack is exploited to gain access. the phone call this huge amounts of consumer data it sells to o businesses seeking to verify idedentities recess credt worthiness. us authorities traced back three dozens of service in twenty countries

back to china and along the us would be able to arrest those indicted for authorities it serves as a warning. confronting this threat effectively does not mean we should not do business with china what it does mean is it when china violates our criminal laws and international norms. we will not tolerate it and we will hold them accountable for. the us is blamed several. high on there including the in twenty fifteen on the u. s. office of personnel management that led to phase of beijing using the information to a mosque on the cover us spies. let's check in on the day's trading action now the nasdaq and s. and p. five hundred both closed at new record highs. led by amazonon shares which closed up two point 6% wallstreet broadly shshrugging off the concerns about the spread of the corona virus and the possible impact on us companies. major european indices closed lower german carmaker daimler was about half percentage point a report it's planning fifteen thousand d job cuts as part of a cost cutting scheme. well the major brands

of said they won't be attending one of the tech industry's biggest events because of concerns over the corona virus. amazon is withdrawing its exhibition from the mobile world conference. which set to take place in barcelolona from february twenty fourth. sony will replace it stand with an internet news conference to present its new products. sweden's ericsson south korea's lg any american should make a new video has also camp. their appearances. they all say they're trying to avoid exposing their employees to the virus by limiting their international travel. chinese groups zte and huawei still plan to attend for it now mark this is just the latest slew of cancellations for these kinds of events we've seen a similar. thing happening at the singapore airshow this week a lot of big companies pulling out- a as the c corona virus spreads. it's fair to say we're going to see this country and continuing. on data nervously on that issue of charting old problems that we find- on that virus and- the measures being taken to control it. kate as ever for the business thank you

very much indeed great to see you. time for. now the present all trump but doesn't like people who disagree with him. especially if it's that the media that we're talking about- trump spoken from official platforms to condemn journalists. as the enemy of the people. n now as a result it seems so maybe just a coincidence that more more journalists have been getting attacked. since trump was elected in twenty sixteen. and the worst of these cases was the at twenty eighteenen. occurrence five journalists killed by government. at the capitol cassettes in maryland. a focus by funny allah and chemical just on. of the fourty four presidents who held this ofoffice before him many have at times criticized the media but none have declared a full on war against the press. like donald trump. is disgusting. news media and the fake news reviews to call it. under trom

white house rules havee changed gone are the daily preress briefings replaced by the president's own string of tweets way to bypass reporters reaching his audience directly but also to attack them since kicking off his campaign in twenty fifteen donald trump has tweeted more than eighteen hundred attacks on the media. some of these exchanges with reporters have gone viral like his tense back and forth with cnn's chief white house correspondent jim acosta turned on when you report fake news which she and does a lot you are the enemy of the people go ahead. the enemy of the people a tagline t that has hit a whwhe industry. in the u. s. there about twenty eight thousand tv reporters and about twenty three thousand more working in print. like reporters from the sentinel a weekly based in maryland where editorial meetings often fococus on dc politics. democrats have made a pretty strong argument about

trump abusing power in the coursing a- foreign entity to interfere with that of american election. this is where the legendary bob woodward started his career before breaking one of the biggest stories in american history watergate. in the face of repeated attacks on the press this local news room is finding disinformation paternalistic rigor the perception journalism i think is being tarnished a little bit. because of the things that trump says and- if you do your job and you can back whahat you found. you know is there should be nothing left to say whether you like the journalist or ifif you don't agree with theieir views that's a personal thing but the truth is the truth at the end of the day. local community journal journalism that's's a grarassroots that's where everything starts here the center we make sure that we that every source every time we copy it we go through it- three to four times make sure everything is accurate. since thee twewenty sixteen presidentl campaign. verbal and even physical attacks on reporters have increaseded yeah. last year

five emploloyees of thehe capitl gains that were killed by a man who didn't like their coveragee of this trial. making itt the deadliest attack on the press in american history. when the capitol goes that shooting happened i remember- it was later in the day and- a lot of our reporters are on n assignmet i was just. you know you're almost in shock like you it's become so real so quickly and all i could think of is you know all these people just want to go to work. and you know someone then come home. and just just to deliver news i mean i think that's- it's heartbreaking. according to a recent gallup poll only 41% of americans trust the media the lowest number since nineteen seseventy y three. and off to wy press freedom activists like thomas amelia of pan american. it's very hard these days to be a journalist who has never had

the kind of systematic overwhelming denenunciation of the media as a profession coming from the highest office in the land it's a also dananges people don't have a place to go to get the facts of the day- because they're distrustful. anand if you can't. if you're gonna go to the newspaper you don't believe that. what they said the president said. is accurate then are you gonna believeve that the weather repot for tomorrow is true either are the discord yesterday's baseball game was accurately reported me where is the distressed begin and end. in the us freedom of expression is protected by the first amendment there's eveven a musem dedicated to promoting free speech and a free press though it has just officially closed its doors. for jean paul since ski of the freedom forum donald trump's attacks on the press are part of a larger political strategy. he has made himselflfa

store soo i t think it's hardedo say you shouldn't cover me. because you make yourself the story everyday by tweeting or what the president has saturated both local and national news every attackn the mediaia seems to momotivatee more reporting and more revelations.
