where it all began authorities have traced the outbreak of the corona virus to a seafood market in ruhani since then the city has shut down outdoor transportation to cut off from the world some fear a repeat of the deadly outbreak of the sars virus which killed over 800 people in 2003. and i think those i'm really worried i'm really scared it will become the next ours that's why we all ran off but some are still traveling to you know who on is a city often 11000000 people just about 400 have been infected that's a very low percentage and the fatalities are all old people. hospital wards have had to deal with hundreds of cases but the world health organization has not yet declared a global health emergency. if you look at w h o guidelines there has been no guidance for any private or today there's dictions. so the look down is in excess of the current guidance w.h.o. is providing and therefore the down of 11000000 people is unprecedented in public health history on thursday the government announced the transport links to the cities of one gun and the jewel what also be cut and the fear of

1st transmitted to humans from snakes now we know that it emanated out of a particular market in ruhani in china where they so live exotic animals and suspicion 1st centered on bats but chinese researchers have just published a new paper where they conducted genetic research genetic sequencing and they found that snakes are the most likely source now what we don't know is how the virus moved from the snakes to schumann's and in any case it doesn't actually need snakes to continue spreading now because it has become a human to human virus transmitted via the respiratory system and of course that is the worrying development and we have seen the world health organization sitting down discussing that what have they had to say so far well what we're waiting to hear is whether they're going to call it a public health emergency of international concern but it doesn't actually matter whether the sorry to say it's the reaction from the rest of the world means of that will have less importance because countries are already responding very proactively we're seeing checks placed the airports around

health authorities believe the virus originated at this now closed market in ruhani which sold fish and wild animals the outbreak coincides with the lunar new year holiday the busiest travel time in china on the streets concern is growing. could be your money may make our own dollars of course i'm worried i just went to buy mosques i tried buying mosques around my neighborhood before leaving but they were all sold out i'm worried because so many people will be traveling shot. if the job was. done to all result but honestly honest i have no idea which reports to believe i just trust my instincts i'm not that confident that authorities have the situation under control i think the number of infected could be far more important. but there's also a kind of a little fear to take us a canoe you are going to cause i'm worried and the virus could spread rapidly if crossing fiction happens during this travel period the epidemic will be terrible in the myopia although you and all. other countries including australia are also implementing enhanced screening measures authorities there say they are m

this is how donald trump likes to do things he likes the duel he likes to be in the limelight so ruhani trump meeting could happen. also as chris just said it seems that everyone can or can't peered over the edge and decided that they did not want the war so what is it that they want. well i think. as far as the iranians are concern of course they have shown in inclination to be able to return to a situation where they can develop their country the country's in a very bad state it's not able to. provide for its own people so i think that is primarily what they want they want of course the preservation of the theocratic regime so those 2 things which are mutually supportive is i think where ron is coming from what i think the the americans want is very much more difficult to evaluate because during the bush administration in my opinion and it's only an opinion based on observation. u.s. foreign policy was hijacked by a small cabal of extremists who were influenced by external. interests now what we're seeing i believe is external interests countries outside america who have learnt to pre
