suzanne, you wanted to pick up on what agnes was saying?to pick up on what agnes was saying? i wanted to do about how xi jinping is talking about theirs. they‘ve already been in the public eye over the hong kong protests, and i think there is a consciousness there that this is a big global news re with global ramifications. and, you know, it‘s 17 years since the stars crisis as well but china has become so much more a major player —— sars crisis. there are still a lot of challenges facing china at the moment, the trade war with the us, 0k, they are starting a phase one trade deal in the last week or so but there are still significant tariffs on chinese goods, there is a conflict over huawei, the telecoms provider, the us is asking other countries to block huawei. so i think china is approaching this crisis at a very delicate time in terms of their reputation globally. steve, what about the global indications of this? if this is to a degree, b doesn‘t get much worse than it is, a of useful rehearsal for the bigger pandemics that the world‘s

my guests this week: agnes poirier of french news weekly, l'express. suzanne lynch of the irish times. political commentator steve richards. broadcaster and journalist ashis ray. thank you all so much forjoining us. a week ago, it was mostly business as usual in china. now tens of millions are under virtual lockdown and many lunar new year celebrations have been cancelled. is china handling coronavirus well and if this turns out to be the rehearsal for a lethal virus pandemic, is the world ready? agnes, why don't you start us off with then an assessment of how china is doing? i should really call it a corona virus. we will have to call it 2019 novel the coronavirus. no i remember the sars epidemic and i see a real difference because they were gathering sars up, although the mortality rate wasn't actually that great. it was about 10%. and it looks like this virus, the mortality rate is rather low at the moment. but they have, at a distance of course, as i am not in china, but it looks as if they have reacted rather soon, quick and transparency and clari

agnes, why don't you start us off with an assessment of how china is doing?should be 2019 novel coronavirus. yes, because there are a lot of them. i remember the sars epidemic and i notice a real difference because 17 years ago china, you know, started covering it up and it must have cost quite a lot of lives then. although the mortality rate was not that great, about 10%. it looks like this virus‘ mortality rate is kind of low. but at a distance of course, i'm not in china but it looks as if they have reacted rather soon, quick, and transparency and clarity is key to avoid panic. they will also put whole cities on lockdown, it will be at the spring festival and a lot of families are staying at home. they are going to build 10 hospitals in ten days, only the chinese can do that. of course it is travelling because the chinese are bigger travellers than they were. i don't feel the same sense of panic, it is always scary, and epidemic as such. and it has all been really sequenced. we know where it comes from. so we will talk about the impact on the economy later

special repertory extrajudicial executions that agnes color she said she one writes expert and joins us on the line this column of thank you for being with us here on d w the u.s. is claiming that it's strike on general so the money was in self defense saying that he was planning an imminent attack on u.s. interests on that could attack u.s. citizens as well what does international say law say about that. well the international law allows self-defense but in very narrowly defined situations and conditions one of which is that the the threat of an arm attack must be instant overwhelming and all to be even and now we've seen within the legal scholars they are much differences of opinion as to the meaning of imminent in terms of time our ever it is clear or at least clear to me that even and cannot be about a long time frame because otherwise you would suggest a constant state of war or pre war so is the overall was even on immanency that each should be a very narrowly place to time and that has not been well evidenced by the by the u.s. so far in fact the the stories of the fact that h

agnes, another thing do it. and are these issues all related?r thing we saw last week was the very same chancellor, sajid javid, sitting on a platform at davos alongside the us trade secretary and they were trading threats in the way we don't normally see between the uk and the us. well, this time the uk is not going to be part of a party of 28 members, who can together as the eu be as big an actor as china or the united states. so the uk is going to find itself very vulnerable to the american pressure. i mean, imagine. so even president macron, and there isa so even president macron, and there is a truce that france wants to implement... and we had to bow down really because president trump said 0k, really because president trump said ok, i'm going to apply tariffs on them. and so, the big difference is to go about it alone. what i find important... since boris johnson cosmic election, is that there is temporary relief. brexit is happening so there is no use crying over spilt milk. it is happening, it is inevitable, no second referendum, it is

an important female pioneer was agnes driscoll, a texas schoolteacher who joined the navy during world. there was a brief period when women were recruited into the navy during world war i, she joined, then the women were discharged after world war i. actually a law was written which is to bar women from the navy. but she came back to work as a civilian in the u.s. navy and during the 1930's it was agnes driscoll who broke the japanese fleet code, meaning she figured out how it worked, the five digits, adding of another five digits using a non-carrying addition s)pá we would have to subtract those numbers out. that is one way codes are broken, is when somebody diagnoses just how it works, and then there is the daily breaking of messages. that was done by agnes driscoll at a time when most male officers did not want to do this non-prestigious work that was not good for your career. as a civilian, she was in washington looking at a japanese codebook that we had captured from the embassy, i think in new york, that helped her figure that out. she ultimately trained rocheford and safford, pe

i say that conducts any investigation obviously the united nations has spoken up already we heard agnes kalama speaking before but i mean i was think of the u.n. is something which investigates which mediates between. countries between states the hey you've got a state actor definitely but jeff bezos is still a private citizen. well i think that the investigation probably should be with the u.s. in the 1st instance and to the extent that i totally agree with rami about compiling the evidence as best one can even though the state actor refuses to acknowledge or comply with with any requests for information or even assertion of jurisdiction and then if once the investigation uncovers more evidence then the consequences can be economic because it seems to me that with what have been some. vision 2030 efforts and incredible efforts to have investment in the kingdom that if the investigation uncovers credible information that it was at his command request his purchase of israeli spy software and working with israeli companies to do this then the there should be economic consequences by the m

when you hear the un special raconteur on extrajudicial executions, agnes callamard, concluding thattest of legality or illegality is unlikely to be met, i.e it looks illegal to her, you must be worried, musn‘t you? i'm worried about the reputation of the united states but frankly the reputation of the united states is still going to be shaky given the policies of the trump administration in many other places in the world. the reality is there's also a strong argument to made for self—defence, and that's the argument the american administration is making. i am personally aware from my time serving as a us diplomat of what qasem soleimani and some of the groups he supported and trained in iraq and elsewhere have done to try to target american diplomats, american servicemembers and other coalition members serving in iraq and in other places in the region. i'm quite certain he was behind the escalating attacks in 2019, the attacks on shipping outside the strait of hormuz, attacks on saudi civilian infrastructure, the downing of an american drone and the attacks on abqaiq, the saudi arab
