Sky News host Chris Kenny says Cai Liping, the head nurse at the Wuhan Hospital in the epicentre of the epidemic is “distraught as a van leaves with the body of her husband”. Mr Kenny said Liping’s husband Liu Zhiming was “the hospital director” and was “killed” by the coronavirus.
“How harrowing is all this for health professionals exposing themselves to grave risks as they care for others,” he said. “The death toll has reached well over 2000 now - from more than 75,000 infections - the overwhelming majority of them in China. “All this makes Australia’s tough travel bans and quarantine provisions look pretty wise and well-executed so far.” Image: AP

Terror deradicalisation often 'a forlorn hope': Former NSW judge | Sky News AustraliaFormer NSW Supreme Court Judge Anthony Whealy says worldwide evidence has shown it is often a 'forlorn hope' to deradicalised convicted terrorists.\n\nThe comments come as counter-terrorism police are preparing to use controversial new powers, including continuing detention orders, to prevent the release of those deemed dangerous to society.\n\nThose could include some of the 11 convicted terrorists due to be released in 2020.\n\nJudge Whealy told Sky News that despite best efforts, it is difficult to change the ideology of religious fanatics .\n\n“When you sentence somebody to prison, particularly for [terror-related] offences, you hope that they will be reformed and rehabilitated, and deradicalised”. \n\n“There is always the fear that when their sentence is coming to an end… that they may in fact, in an extreme case, pose an unacceptable risk to the community,” he said. \n\nThis is a religious condition of a fanatical kind...is very different from the ordinary criminal”.\n\n“It is hard for these people to be changed or altered.”\n\nImage: Getty
