We're all in this together, and we can only stop it together.

The World Health Organization praises China's response as some Canadians criticize Ottawa It's been rudderless.

Ah, global news Exclusive.

New revelations about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is disastrous trip to India.

Good news for smokers.

Why it's never too late to butt out and footwear dumped a runner's soulmate shoes kicking off controversy in competitions.

Global National With Donna freezing Good evening and thanks for joining us.

We begin with news about the new Corona virus outbreak.

The World Health Organization has now declared it an international public health emergency.

It's concerned countries with weak health care systems may not be able to cope.

The W H O stressed 99% of cases are in China, and it praised that country's response.

The numbers, though, keep rising.

Chinese authorities are reporting more than 9400 confirmed cases worldwide.

Now the vast majority are in China, and there are thousands more suspected cases there.

Every province in mainland China now has confirmed cases on this map.

The darker the red, the higher the number.

Wuhan, the capital of Hu Bei province where this outbreak began, has the most over 1000 cases.

213 people have now died from this new strain of Corona virus, all of them in China and the W.

H O says China, which has put millions of people under quarantine, is rapidly building new hospitals to handle all the sick people to.

It says it's set a new standard for outbreak response.

I have never seen in my life this kind of mobilization, the measures they're taking, which I believe will reverse the tide.

But not only what they're doing is protecting their people.

But I know from the figures also you know that it's protecting the rest of the world.

There are no more than 100 confirmed cases outside mainland China.

They're scattered across the least 19 countries and territories.

India has now confirmed its first case, and so has the Philippines.

Canada's health minister says the risk here remains low, and declaring a global health emergency does not change that.

The government is still working on a plan to airlift Canadians trapped in Wuhan.

The center of the outbreak will get to that in just a moment, but we begin with Redman Shannon on the W H O declaration and what it means.

This was the World Health Organization's third emergency meeting on the Corona virus outbreak.

On this occasion, After hours of debase, the panel voted to declare a global health emergency.

The main reason for this declaration is not because of what is happening in China, but because of what is happening in other countries.

The head of the W.

H O repeatedly praised China's response to the outbreak, saying It can turn the tide.

It's actually doing more than China is required to do.

This is to protect especially countries with weak our whole system.

Labeling this a global health emergency means Maur international resources for prevention and more help in finding a vaccine.

But it doesn't mean restricting travel for now.

Doubly, Joe doesn't require mend and actually opposes any restrictions for travel and trade or other measures against China.

Regardless of the decision concerned about the virus has already spread globally.

Air France is among the growing list of airlines suspending all flights to and from mainland China, the head of the cabin crew union said.

Staff demanded the airline Take action.

6000 cruise ship passengers were stopped from disembarking at an Italian port after a Chinese woman onboard showed symptoms of Corona virus.

It was later confirmed she was not infected.

Turkey is among the countries sending planes to bring citizens home.

Spanish and British citizens will be held in quarantine for two weeks when they arrive back on Friday.

Meanwhile, the Philippines and India have both declared their first cases and in Thailand stores air selling out of face masks at a contract.

Truly, this Chinese virologist says it could take 2 to 4 weeks before the virus is under control, but at the current rate, that could mean hundreds of thousands of people could be infected by then.

Redman Shannon Global News London Canada has not acted as fast as some other countries to get people out of Wuhan, where there's been a lock down now for days.

Almost 200 Canadians who are stranded want help getting home.

The government has a plane in place, but beyond that the logistics are still being worked out.

As Abigail Beeman explains.

Okay, we'll talk to you again, certainly as soon as I have news, I will tell you, but for Monte gives.

Born in coke wetland BC, and his wife, Daniella Lewin, Wu Han's has been no news that finally got a call from Canadian officials.

Ah, formal phone interview, they said, would happen in an hour.

But 12 hours later, nothing.

Lou, along with their daughter, Domenica, also in Wuhan, are permanent Canadian residents.

They don't even know if they'll be allowed on the Canadian plane whenever it arrives.

They keep focusing on the fact that Canadians will be on that airplane.

What does that mean?

I mean to us.

It's got a different perhaps definition and maybe most other people.

The risk to Canadians way strong measures in place.

But no one can say when the plane Ottawa has secured will arrive, nor what will happen in terms of screening or isolation.

We're flying a non commercial flight into a new country that is under quarantine that has some very strict protocols about where planes can land and what the protocols might be, and so that requires negotiations with the Chinese government.

Trudeau has asked multiple times about a Globe and Mail report saying the government has already helped some Canadian diplomat families get out, but he wouldn't answer, as so many other Canadians struggle to get consular, help invasion but also right across the country.

Way are in history right now.

And she's worried about him for from the government who towed US thieves.

You're stating inside.

The chance of your survival is much bigger than if you go out.

Even your where a lot of protection, your gloves, your glasses and your most importantly, your mask was has to be changed like every form hours, so many considerations as Ottawa tries to figure out how to bring Canadians home.

The latest information is 196 people want consular help of some kind, and China is saying if anyone is sick, they won't be allowed to leave.

Abigail Beeman Global News Ottawa This virus is a reminder how interconnected the world is.

Apart from making so many people in China sick, it's put a chill on doing business with that country.

The World Health Organization made a point to say today China should not be punished because of this outbreak, and it opposes any restrictions on travel and trade companies that rely on the country for their supply chain.

Though we're worried about production is factories sit idle.

And today, the American commerce secretary said, the blow to China could be good for American jobs.

Jackson Prospero reports the world's factory.

China is slowing down production Car makers have idled plants.

Companies like Google and Facebook have closed their offices.

The emerging threat from a new strain of Corona virus is a reminder of the need to be vigilant, economic experts have warned.

It all poses a risk to the already shaky global economy if companies can't manufacture their goods and if consumer demand in the world's second largest economy drops off In China, stores for Mikey up to Starbucks have already shut their doors.

What's harder to predict is what happens over the longer term you're here.

The SARS outbreak in 2003 cost the world economy more than $33 billion.

Nearly two decades later, China is a much bigger player now Canada's second largest trading partner.

But they're far more connected, and that means that when you have something like the Corona virus, the impact felt throughout the world could be far more significant.

One example.

The ubiquitous iPhone made in China.

There are warnings that production could be vulnerable to supply chain or labor disruptions.

And as airlines cancel flights to and from the country, the demand side is taking a hit.

Chinese tourists, the highest per capita spenders, are staying home way.

Need Chinese customers because it's Chinese customers who buy the most, says this worried parents.

Shopkeeper Economy Comes to a Halt in Washington President Trump's commerce secretary bluntly called Corona virus an economic win for the U.

S.

I think it will help to accelerate the return of jobs to North America.

The reality is, with the world economy already slowing, everyone is at risk even if the Corona virus is contained.

Jackson Pross Go GLOBAL News Washington We explain more about the virus and what it means to declare a global health emergency on our website.

Global news dot see a slash Global national Now to a global news exclusive, We've uncovered a key document government document that sheds new light on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's trip to India nearly two years ago.

He went there to strengthen Canada India relations, it turned into a diplomatic disaster.

He was criticized for everything from what he wore to the guest list.

Our chief political correspondent, David Achon, obtained the document.

David, what are we learning about the visit?

Well, Donna, it took global news nearly two years to obtain this ah 300 page briefing book prepared for then Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland as she accompanied the prime minister on his India trip.

Some sections have been blacked out by government censors, but there is much that is coming to light for the first time.

Throughout the briefing book, there is a sense of hope, of optimism that the Trudeau government could take the relationship to new heights.

This visit, the book says, has the potential to reflect a genuine turning point in the Canada India relationship.

Well, it was a turning point, all right, turn in the wrong direction, absolutely of the turning point towards a much worse situation between the two countries in Canada and in India.

The trip flopped amid snickers at elaborate Trudeau, photo ops and clothing changes.

One plan photo op could have been a doozy.

Trudeau, his wife, Sophie and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had planned a joint our long yoga session in front of the cameras.

That photo op was canceled before Trudeau left Canada.

But in the experts say, Canadian planners seemed not to have had a clear objective for the trip.

They haven't gone in with a plan per se.

There's no ask of India, and there's no offer for India on, and that in itself has been the challenge to meet.

It reflects the absence of a larger, deeper strategic agenda.

But to the Indian government, the trip was a dud for a much more serious reason.

The Trudeau government was not seen as taking Indian concerns about seek terrorism seriously and, of course, almost literally blew up at the final high commissioner's event with a convicted would be assassin.

Uh, that was somehow on the guest list for this reception of Canada House, and it couldn't have possibly played worse.

And yet the bureaucrats who wrote Free Lands briefing book warned time and again that she and Trudeau must quote, clarify Canada's position with respect to perceptions of seek extremism in Canada to reset bilateral relations on a new footing.

That 2018 India trip though, failed to reset relations.

And now, two years later, a frozen relationship is just beginning to thaw.

Donna Okay, David and Ottawa.

Thanks.

And tomorrow, David will look at where the relationship between Canada and India stands now on whether India will help Canada win a seat on the U.

The police in Ottawa have launched a hate crime investigation.

After the National Holocaust memorial was vandalized, the monument was pelted with eggs just days after the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

A week ago, the Ottawa Police Service announced it is reinstating its hate crime unit and adding to investigators to its security intelligence section to address a surgeon hate crimes.

It says incidents such as this are deeply disturbing and will not be tolerated.

That tunnel runs from San Diego to Tijuana, Mexico, and its elaborate equipped with an extensive rail and car system, air ventilation, drainage, even an elevator.

Mexican officials made the discovery in August in a Tijuana parking lot for cargo trucks and worked with U.

S authorities to map it.

It's unclear who built the tunnel, but the area has been a stronghold of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel.

Prosecutors in Tokyo have issued arrest warrants for three Americans suspected of helping this.

Ant's former boss, Carlos Goan, escaped from Japan to avoid criminal charges going, skipped bail and fled the country in December while awaiting trial on charges of hiding income and breach of trust.

The warrant claims the three men, including a former U.

S Special Forces soldier, helped smuggle Gonen portable luggage so he could sneak through immigration checks and get on a private jet to Turkey, the first leg of his escape.

He made it to Lebanon.

That's where he is now, where he holds citizenship.

Prosecutors also issued an arrest warrant for Goan, who they say left Japan illegally.

Japan has no extradition treaty with Lebanon, though, so it's unlikely you'll be arrested Facebook has agreed to pay $550 million to settle a class action lawsuit over its use of facial recognition technology.

It's never too late for smokers to quit.

You're watching.

Global National smoking is a leading cause of premature death.

Yet about 15% of Canadians continue to light up.

The link between smoking and lung cancer is irrefutable and has been widely assumed The damage smoking does.

Toe lungs can't be undone now.
