the world health organization says the number of people suffering from cancer is likely to rise sharply in the coming years and warning is included in a report the organization has released for world cancer day most of the new cases will hit low and middle income countries but there's a bright side to more research better treatment and programs to prevent cancer could save at least $7000000.00 lives in the next decade cancer killed an estimated 9 point $6000000.00 people in $28.00 teams only heart disease causes more deaths the most frequently diagnosed forms of cancer are lung cancer and breast cancer each responsible for just under 12 percent of all cases they're followed by colorectal cancer is at around 10 percent smoking tobacco tops the list to prevent all caught preventable causes of cancer deaths it's followed by an unhealthy diet obesity and lack of exercise the w.h.o. warns that if current trends continue the world will see a 60 percent increase in cancer over the next 2 decades. well joining me for more on this is our science correspondent derrick williams good morning terry

the world health organization warns that time might be running out to contain the virus. the cases we see in the rest of the world although the numbers are small but the north to link to china it's very worrisome although the window of opportunity is not all we need to contain the outbreak we still have a chance to contain it but we're doing that we have to prepare the same time for any eventualities because this outbreak could. it could even be messy. the latest country to report deadly cases of the virus is iran where many fear that the number of deaths and infections is higher than the figures being reported by the authorities. concerned about the virus and afraid that it may spread here in iran i'm wearing a mask and gloves and washing my hands more often as a precaution against infection by the. iranian officials are working to quell fear of the virus and i've asked the country's media to coordinate their reporting with the health ministry. let's bring in virologist alexander who joins us from the german city of hama professor thank you so much for joining us so as w

the world health organization has upgraded the global risk of the virus. it calls for all countries to educate their populations, to expand surveillance, to find, isolate, and care for every case, to trace every contact, and to take an all of government and all of society approach. iran is now the biggest cause for concern, with more than 200 people reported to have died. as authorities there try to get control of the situation, friday prayers in the country were cancelled for the first time in a0 years. worldwide, there have been more than 2,500 deaths from this strain of coronavirus. the united nations says each country has to do is bit. we know containment is possible, but the window of opportunity is narrowing. and so i appeal for solidarity and full global support, but with all countries fully assuming their responsibilities. italy continues to be europe's biggest cause for concern, with more than 650 cases and several towns in the north of the country still on lockdown. the uk has reported its first case of a patient who caught the virus from within

the world health organization says there is now a very high risk of the corona virus spreading globally warning it could reach most if not all countries in the world at least 57 countries or territories have now reported infections of origin as a whole the 1st death of a british citizen a man who had been quarantined aboard a cruise ship off japan china is reporting 47 new deaths more than the number on friday of the u.s. is supposed owning a summit with leaders of southeast asian countries due to fears of the virus it had been set for las vegas 2 weeks from now. in just 2 months more than 50 countries have reported cases of corona virus beginning in china's hu bay province the disease has now reached every continent except antarctica prompting the world health organization to upgrade its global risk assessment we have no increased assessment of the risk of spread and the risk of the impact of 192 very high global. italy has registered the highest number of cases of the virus in europe so far with the tourism industry already feeling the impact. iran meanwhile has seen the highest death

the world health organization has called on all countries to improve data sharing on the coronavirus it also plans to send a team of experts to china to help health authorities struggling to contain the outbreak 490 people there have died from the virus on the number of confirmed cases around the world is now more than 24000 meanwhile 10 people who were on board a cruise ship in japan are confirmed to have the virus there are more than 3000 passengers on the vessel all are now facing up to 2 weeks of corn seen and over in hong kong around 800 people are being held on board a cruise ship there while health authorities carry out tests for coronavirus the vessel was earlier denied entry into taiwan let's get more on this and bring in a drone brown joining us from hong kong what more we're learning about the situation unfolding at the harbor in hong kong. yes well the drama is taking place just in the distance behind me you can just make out this giant cruise vessel the world dream which docked in hong kong on wednesday but the passengers on board are not being allowed to leave that vess

the world health organization says there are signs coronavirus has stabilised in china. however, it has cautioned against reading too much into the data, saying the outbreak could still worsen. in the last few hours, there has been a sharp rise in the number of confirmed deaths in china's hubei province. 2a2 people have died in a single day, along with nearly 15,000 new cases of infection, and scientists have been meeting. 0ur correspondent nick beake has the latest from hong kong. quite interesting, these official figures that china's authorities have been giving us. that particular statistic you quote, 242, that is the highest number by far of daily reported deaths. 2a2 people died with the new coronavirus yesterday. just for some context, the previous highest number was 103. now, we've been trying to get to the bottom of this, and it turns out that what the chinese authorities are now doing, they are including both in the number of deaths and also the number of overall cases, people who have gone to see a doctor and the doctor has thought yes, probably you do have the

well ahead of the world health organization says the epidemic has reached a decisive point he's urging countries to redouble their efforts to contain the spread of the disease china the epicenter of the outbreak has postponed the reopening of all schools and universities until further notice south korea has confirmed another 505 cases meaning it's overtaken china a new daily infection numbers welcome 700 and now infected there and 13 people have died in italy europe's biggest virus hotspot the death toll has increased to 17 with more than 650 cases one of iran's. vice president has joined the deputy health minister and being diagnosed with a virus iran has the highest fatality rate outside of china with the death toll rising to $28.00 and saudi arabia is halting visas for the film pilgrimage and restricting tourist travel from affected countries there now been more than $82000.00 infections across $45.00 countries in every continent except antarctica no country should assume it wouldn't get cases that could be a fire told me stick and quite literally this virus does not respect borders
