it's a very big obstacle to cooperate with other, but on the other hand, now japan, china and south korea are trying to promote the free trade agreement among three countries in the total cooperation scheme. this is very interesting. so now japan, south korea and china already have a total cooperation scheme and the secondary actor is located in seoul. among the three countries now the more pragmatic cooperation are considered to be promoted. it's a very important point. for the u.s./japan alliance, yes, i totally agree with shoji. so now japan and the united states have to put substantial substance to the free and open indo-pacific by promoting the cooperation as well as infrastructure development. the substance of the free and open indo-pacific is a key point po not manage or divert the lives of china's influence in the region. that's my opinion. >> we're going to turn now to the global g-7, g-20 and united nations. you had a nice display of the challenges, but also the really proactive thinking going on in japan about how to strengthenenutional structure and how to strengthen the allia

however, in south korea, always sailing for japan i think. ow to form the cooperative framework across our region. south korea is a big economic power over southeast asia and south korea has its own initiative towards southeast asia. in this regard even when japan strongly promotes cooperation with southeast asia, how to cooperate with south korea also entering japan's storage and also with regard to the us-japan alliance, i think one of the key issues is how much you can cooperate in developing in implementing specific projects regarding infrastructure in relevant regions. my sense from a viewpoint of a japanese researcher, southeast asia needs a huge amount of money. india and china cannot afford the finance that southeast asia needs. in this regard, southeast asia also seeks sources of support. in this regard japan and the united states have great potential to effectively promote development in the region. >> for the south korea issue, japan and south korea, politicization has a very big power to shape the attitude toward each other and so

chinese city of wuhan, but there are a number of confirmed cases elsewhere, including thailand, south korea, japan now seattle in the united states. the world health organization is meeting now to consider whether to declare an international public health emergency, as they did for ebola, zika and swine flu. so far, health authorities in china say 17 people are known to have died after catching the virus with more than 500 cases confirmed. tulip mazumdar reports. this is the epicentre of a new outbreak. hospital staff are dealing with hundreds of patients. more than a dozen health workers have been infected. this virus, which can cause severe lung problems, appears to be spread through close contact with infected people. there are particular concerns ahead of the lunar new year, as millions get ready to travel for the holidays. chinese authorities say they are working hard to contain the outbreak, but to expect more cases. translation: the wuhan government advice is basically if there is no urgent need, outsiders should not visit wuhan. wuhan residents should not leave wuhan unless there are speci

heard from the foreign ministry here in china, and they say that they are in close contact with south korea, japanwell as thailand and health officials there in trying to learn as much about the spread of this coronavirus as possible. they also say that they are adamant, that they will try to protect the region's hiygienic security and one they are working to control. the reality is there is a lack of information, if you will. there is a lot of uncertainty. people, quite frankly, do not know what guidelines, if any, they should take with them as they are preparing to go forward with the holiday travel. as you mention, millions, hundreds of millions of people use this stretch of time, this 40 days that will go from january 10th into february to go visit loved ones and they're taking railway as one of the options. 440 million trips expected by train this year alone. so with that much close contact, there is concern that if this virus is one that can spread human to human, then this would be the prime place that it could happen. places like airports, places like railways. so that is what they're tryi

overnight we saw it had gone to the us, previously it had already arrived in south korea and japan.ion period in china so people are moving around, people are travelling internationally. so at the moment i think it is unlikely but it is not impossible. there may well be cases here. that is why as you mention in your introduction, public health england on the government here i've decided to put in some additional screenings at airports for flights coming in from wuhan and actually there are only three flights a week from their but there will be additional checks to pick up no sort of things. we are going to go back to davos in switzerland. president robbie speaking again at the world economic forum. if you take a look at this and what everybody tells me, all i do is and what everybody tells me, all i doisi and what everybody tells me, all i do isiam and what everybody tells me, all i do is i am honest, i make great deals. i'm make great deals for our country. now we are working with the wto, you are probably surprised by that but this has been a long abusive situation to the us. i ma

more cases have also been confirmed in singapore thailand south korea and japan. a hospital in tokyo carried out a drill to train staff in dealing with an infectious disease. in vietnam a chinese father and son tested positive for the disease making them the 1st confirmed cases in the country. every day it seems the deadly virus is traveling further. doctors in scotland said they were testing a number of suspected cases and a man was briefly hospitalized in london. 2 people literally like house says kate corbett what. seo is here and seriously. from the u.k. to india to australia countries around the globe are on edge and monitoring closely where the virus will pop up next. while chinese authorities putting draconian measures in place to try and contain this mysterious new virus but are they getting it under control or in beijing tries to find out. the health crisis concerning the corona virus has become more severe the number of infections have gone up and also the number of deaths has also gone up we know that in where the virus originated from the situation is

and they have been spread by citizens from who are han who then traveled also to thailand to south korea to japan and so of course the forty's are focusing on that area but even in beijing where i'm based right now you see a lot of you know body temperature skinless especially at hawks and also at the train stations and yet people are also very cautious well there are concerns that this virus has spread more widely in china infected more people than officially claimed you say people are cautious how worried are they are across the country. there were very very i wouldn't call it a penny but you know literally everyone is very face must by father lots of authority to protect themselves and people are very skeptical. you know government . numbers and also see the official state news and i think it's safe to assume that the numbers are much higher that's also you know in the line with estimates from scientists from the imperial college london or the city university of hong kong they assume that farm boy has been affected and the reason many people here they still remember the saucepan demick in 2002
