Control of most of the rebel held aleppo province and well look at the u. N. Effort to get more countries to help the millions of afghan refugees in pakistan. Hello everyone 2 flights evacuating u. S. Citizens who were stuck on a cruise ship with hundreds of coronavirus cases on board have now left japan those infected are staying behind the ship is being quarantined in the port of yokohama 355. 00 of the passengers tested positive for the virus among them 44. 00 u. S. Citizens as we say they will stay there and be treated in japanese hospitals meanwhile china has confirmed another 105. 00 deaths on sunday this brings the global total up to 1770. 00 around 2000 more people tested positive for the virus and other persons died outside of china this was a taxi driver in taiwan the 5th overseas fatality after an elderly chinese tourist in france became the 1st to die outside of asia so were going to talk to katrina you in beijing in a moment to get an update from there starting those returns in washington she have the latest on the evacuation of those u. S. Nationals. Right now as you said 2 flights took off a few hours ago now one is heading to an air force base in california one is having to now for space in texas once they arrive those on board who do not seem to have any symptoms at least will go will stay at the air force base for 14 days in quarantine anyone who does show signs of symptoms will be sent to a different location were told and its all just the 40 for showing signs of symptoms who you mentioned earlier from the ship who are staying behind in japan and also at least several dozen people who are staying on board the ship itself for several reasons we understand some are saying look weve heard want to take this this long journey and i wouldnt do this freezing call go play into a military base in the u. S. Wed rather stay here for a while and in fact there are rules never been put in place that they will be able to do so this embark on february the 16th but theyll only be allowed to return on march the 4th and the other reason were hearing from people staying behind is that they have relatives who were already showing symptoms of the crater virus and have been evacuated from the ship and theyre in japanese hospitals so the numbers are a little bit all over the place depending on whether you listen to japanese sources or american sources but thats the picture we have right now ok. In washington thank you for that update before we talk to katrina i want to show you the virus tracker from Johns Hopkins university in the United States which gives us a good picture of where the outbreak is concentrated in the just updated the numbers just to continue what she was saying to people coming from the United States they will join the weve got 15 confirmed cases in the u. S. Some over here chicago detroit boston but the most of them are there in Southern California one up in seattle as well but as we move across to asia thats when you start to see the full picture not just china of course itself but across asia is where the concentration is the latest numbers 7171000. Thousands 290. 00 confirmed cases and the total deaths up to 1773. 00 though i would also point out that top number there 10992. 00 the number of people who have totally recovered from corona virus is well lets put it in perspective now with katrina you joining us from beijing kenya those numbers that weve got 100 more deaths in china 2000 more infections can you put that into some sort of context is that actually getting if i can put it this way better or at least fewer. Well we have those new numbers 2000 more new cases total 1717100 deaths as you mentioned but what were seeing so far in china at least is that the vast majority of these new cases and the vast majority of deaths i think theres 1600 also deaths have all been inside who province and if there is any good news as you mention it is that the cases outside of different provisions around china seem to be dropping i think i was just having a look at the numbers i think there were 3 new cases in beijing may be one or 2 new cases in shanghai except for a so this does seem to be its still a concern of course its still a major issue but mostly concentrated inside but of course across the region its also a concern as you mentioned we had a 1st death in taiwan a man in his fiftys who was known to have no travel history to china so the contagiousness of this illness is certainly still creating some tension and a lot of fear about how well of were able to contain this but in china itself certainly in who its certainly just it remains under under lockdown there seems to be no let up in the number of restrictions and measures to try to prevent the spread of this disease we just heard on the weekend that many residential compounds in some cities in who they were actually sealed off and by sealed off i mean what theyve done the authorities have gone around each of these residential compounds and closed off any extra entrances so that theres only one entrance to each compound where people people traffic is tightly monitored and youre not really supposed to leave your house except for to get essential items essential supplies and for many of those compounds you cant even leave the compound residents must rely on deliveries for their food and other essential things so still quite tense there and some cities have also banned vehicle traffic so the only cars and and vans that are allowed on the roads will be medical that is government bans things like that certainly here in beijing miles away from whom. A lot still quite tense if you walk on the street and youre not wearing a face mask somebody will stop you and ask you to wear a face mask all restaurants that are still open or places at the Shopping Centers that are still open they ask you to register your id details you have to put down your name your possible number your phone number they take your temperature just in case they find that there was a case later on and they want to sort of make sure they have the information of all the people who are who are in that one particular location so its still quite tense and of course parents still have their hands full with all the Children Home all schools across china are still out and weve been hearing that the reports of sales of things like printers are going up because parents are starting to print textbooks for their children because parents at least see no end in sight for this illness and no end in sight so far for for the spread of this and for all the measures that have been locked down around the country transmitting insight there with katrina you in beijing thank you. Another interesting story coming out of the chinese capitals the publication of a recent speech by chinas president which is raising some questions about why the public was and alerted about the outbreak sooner adrian brown explains why from hong kong. Chinas president xi jinping knew about the our break of the corona virus in early january that was 2 weeks before the government confirmed the 1st person to person transmission of the virus and more than a week before dr lee one liang was silenced by the government for alerting colleagues the president delivered a speech to the Politburo Standing Committee chinas most powerful political body that was on february the 3rd but details were only released by state media this weekend those details amount to an official timeline of what the president knew and when on january the 20th she says he issued special instructions to try to contain the outbreak 3 days later the city of woo han was locked down a measure praised by the World Health Organization some analysts say chinas leader appears to be covering his back after mounting criticism that he didnt respond fast enough on one hand. Chinese leaders who would like to demonstrate that it had not the late in reacting in taking action to contain the epidemic that it had not tried to conceal the facts from the puppy but then are obviously the cover up conspiracy is very much in the minds of Chinese People president xi also accused Regional Communist Party leaders of not carrying out orders from the government in beijing and vowed to punish incompetent administrators this is the greatest crisis to come from president putin playing since he came to power more than 8 years ago because it indicates the top leadership were aware of the potential for verity of a virus weeks before the public were told of both dangers at beijings new International Airport the Economic Impact from the virus is clear with few Airlines Flying to china one of the worlds busiest travel hubs is it a virtual standstill. Desolate scenes too across the border in hong kong on a sunday the citys world famous harborside would normally be teeming with tourists but this weekend just 3000 visitors arrived deepening the sense of isolation here as well adrian brown aljazeera hong kong i want to show you part of a very informative interview we had earlier with dr ali khan dean of the university of Nebraska Medical Centers college of Public Health talking about the spread of the disease and he said its not actually clear when the worst of this outbreak will be own fate. I think we need to be very careful about making predictions but there is no doubt that this is a global emergency in china and theyve instituted a containment strategy and over the last couple of days weve been seeing a decline in cases in china too early to say whether or not thats permanent or not and across the world people have put in various layered Public Health measures to try to protect themselves they seem to be effective so far but we do know that there are hotspots even outside of china such as singapore is a good example where we are seeing local transmission within the community you know the World Health Organization saying yesterday that beijing is going i think it was 82 trials going on to try to find a treatment for and you know theyre expecting results within weeks again positive sign perhaps take your point that you dont want to get into a predictions business too much its absolutely a positive point that theyre trying to systematically about you wait what good options may be to treat patients starting with the existing drugs that we may already have on the shelf and thats the reflection of these 8082 trials theres also a trial underway to try to look at plasma so this is people whove recovered can you take their blood and use that has a therapy for people who are sick so theres also a trial trying to look at the plasma from people who have recovered from the disease see the paper with a face mask saw and you see people being tested their foreheads being tested for for temperatures are these ole effective measures theres all sorts of layers of measures that people are using so the 1st obviously is sort of temperature monitoring as people come in and outside of countries other measures i clued these mandatory quarantines that were seeing as part of travel restrictions people are proving their sort of finding of people who may be sick with respiratory along infections. Testing them so these are all sort of multiple layers to try to protect countries as long as possible to delay the. Introduction of the disease with into their communities hopefully long enough to get a good therapy or a good vaccine but again well see how this plays out over the next couple weeks can i just saw a few funny about the big picture here because obviously people have made comparisons with sars which happened many years ago that was sudden acute respiratory syndrome i remember mers as well middle east Chris Richardson these things will happen you know mutations changes new outbreaks i mean can you get into the preventative business here so without a doubt this is sars lets not confuse our audience its just are closely related virus and sars marzi polo all of these have a common theme which is these are animal viruses that in fact people and then if you dont have good Infection Control and other practices and good Public Health they go on and infect other people so weve seen these for over 10000 years of these diseases coming in from animals and then going from human to human some have been successful like measles they remain human pathogens and some like stars on mars are ebola wed be back into the bush our hope is that this version of sars we beat it back into the bush although we need to be careful about live animal markets in the future. Lets have a look at whats coming up on this news hour actually more on the corona virus and is this quiet before the storm indonesia hasnt reported any cases yet but find out why its feared it could be spreading undetected its. Also libby is about to mount the 9th anniversary of its revolution but people there saying its nothing to celebrate is the conflict drags on. And in sport the reigning italian champions put a big boost in their fight to retain the title the details are far under the late. Looking at libya right now and a u. N. Envoy to the country says the weapons in boggo in the country has become a joke the issue was discussed at a Security Summit in munich Foreign Ministers agreed not to intervene in libya but many of them have been deeply involved in this conflict diplomatic editor james bass as well. This was diplomacy is groundhog day Foreign Ministers and other representatives from 13 countries repeating the same thing their leaders said exactly 4 weeks ago but as someone. But despite their words arms have continued to flow to both sides in libya and showing what some might call great hypocrisy the countries who are breaching the embargo are actually all among those here mr foreign minister you talk about a deplorable breach of the arms embargo we know who is breaching the arms embargo they were in the room with you what did you say to them now when all of those who continue to breach the embargo need to know that they will be detected and they will be named we will discuss that with the e. U. Council on Foreign Affairs tomorrow and we will discuss the contribution the e. U. Can make the arms embargo has become a joke and so it you know we all need to step up here and. It is complicated because there are violations that are happening on land sea and air and that all needs to be monitored and there needs to be accountability ultimately attention will now move to geneva the other problem apart from the breaches of the arms embargo is the lack of a ceasefire talks at the uns European Headquarters between representatives of general haftar and those of the internationally recognized government resume on choose day the un have ambitious plans to keep the diplomatic momentum moving they put in a diary a date of the 26th of february for talks with all the libyan Political Parties and then the plan is for elections brokered by the un that if there is a cease fire and that remains a very big if james pays out 0 munich. And we spoke to mohammed ali a little bit earlier he is the Senior Adviser for u. S. Affairs to the internationally recognized government in tripoli he also previously served as a libyan congressman he told us theres actually little hope for any political reconciliation. This is a continuation of the same thing that weve seen for the last several months and the International Community seems to be thinking that maybe one you know some magic potion will appear at some point and have you know what if i have to change his behavior or his backers possibly change their behavior without any kind of consequences were actually worse off today than we were at the berlin conference thousands of tons of. Thousands of tons of weapons have continued to flow into libya since january 12th report by International Monitoring groups and media reports as well as just you know applications that are available on the internet that any person can access are showing these military flights that are nonstop just a few hours ago another military cargo jet landed in benghazi that came from the u. N. Bringing weapons into house of militias and this is continuing to be ignored there are sanctions that can be imposed on these parties that are bringing in these weapons there are sanctions that can be imposed on hostile himself being a u. S. Citizen just a few days ago there was a hearing held at the u. S. Senate Foreign Affairs committee where u. S. Administration representatives basically stated that this guys carrying out work right and that he is continuing to violate all of these resolutions and all of these International Laws however no one has showed any kind of initiative to step in and actually take action against him and against his backers and this is something that today or tomorrow libyans are celebrating the 9th anniversary of the february 17th revolution a day that libyan spoke out and said we will no longer accept here and he will no longer accept oppression we will no longer accept dictatorship. Well as we mentioned earlier libyans are about to mark the 9th anniversary of the revolution that led to the downfall of longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi the power vacuum there left behind has led to this current conflict the capital tripoli has seen intense fighting in the past few months ill stratford has met some residents who fled their homes and still arent sure when they can go back half built a neglected for almost a decade these towers are unfit for habitation more than a 100 families who have fled fighting on the outskirts of libyas capital shelter here now this tiny room is where samir heady and her 2 children have lived for the last 3 months theres no electricity or Running Water samir a says her son used to be top of his class at school but the school was closed because of the fighting she described what happened when she tried to return to her home with her daughter to collect more of their belongings. As where the horror theres this little girl has seen no other child has witnessed in all of libya the whole building front of us collapsed the bombs were coming from all sides our home was completely destroyed we could have been killed. Nation says that more than 150000 people have been forced to flee their homes since general haftar started his offensive on the tripoli in april more than 600 people have been killed or injured now many libyans will be celebrating the anniversary of a revolution that overthrew gadhafi at the same time as the country is ensuring what many describe a civil war. International efforts to pull just cease by the failed. Really gay general hurley for half the citys offensive against the u. N. Backed government based in tripoli will continue. Organized by Government Forces to honor their sons killed defending the capital how much says he still dreams of peace and a unified libya well i dont know when i heard my son had been killed i was shocked but i hope god willing that he just like so many others who died for this country will be deemed a martyr and in next years revolution anniversary will be better and all libyans can celebrate one unified libya where we and generations to come come across. Back in their tiny cold room in the town samir a says thousands of families like her have nothing to celebrate as i feel. That there are so many tragedies huge problems and theres people suffering even more than us i dont have any hope left there is no security through why and what all the celebrated another generation too young to understand can only wait for the peace and prosperity that was promised to their parents almost a decade ago. Tripoli in yemen the government backed by the Saudi Led Coalition has agreed to the biggest of a prisoner swap with the rebels the timing and the number of prisoners hasnt been announced but the u. N. Special envoy to yemen is urging parties to move forward and do it urgently in a deal brokered in 2018 the warring sides agreed to exchange about 15000 detainees. Lets look at news from syria now 1st of all state media reporting that Government Forces have seized most of the rebel held aleppo province russian planes have been bombing the region in the northwest president Bashar Al Assads forces have made significant gains in the past few days seizing the strategic m 5 highway which links aleppo with damascus turkey has sent thousands of troops to shore up its observation posts in. Turkey trying to stop that advance of course into the last rebel held areas and its foreign minister has told his russian counterpart ankara will take quote necessary steps if diplomatic efforts with russia fail. Cover so you and so they held talks in munich the Syrian Government with the help of russia is advancing in this last rebel held region mostly made up of a province there are turkish soldiers on the ground there and several have been killed. So as the Syrian Government tightens its grip on the north rebels have abandoned their strategic areas in aleppo and in but as turkeys involvement in syria increases those fighting Bashar Al Assads forces seen a chance to regain some ground. Reports now from how to tie turkeys border with syria. These are fighters from the National Liberation front a Rebel Alliance backed by turkey outgunned and outnumbered the fighters secret behind a new directive embankment on the other side Government Troops are stepping up their campaign. We are consolidating our defense lines setting up small flexible command centers and most of the factions are coordinating their operations in our image to drag Government Forces into our own areas fighting has surged over the last few days president Bashar Al Assads forces have regained control of many areas in and live. Their advance infuriated turkey which accuses us of violating the terms of a cease fire agreement turkey signed with russia and iran 2 years ago. Has sent more troops into it and expanded its military outposts despite that damascus insists its campaign wont stop turkeys growing involvement in the syrian conflict is welcomed by the rebels who see it as an opportunity for a cold. We are still fighting to prevent assads army and the militias backing him from destroying our villages and evicting civilians the morale of our fighters is high and we are all determined to defeat assad the rebels have been weakened by internal fighting and divisions the National Liberation front is one among many operating in rebel held territory but hey at the us. Is the most powerful its an alliance of many groups with a strong presence in it live the rebels have no hope of defeating asserts troops who are making more gains and determined to take over the last area held by the opposition now their last chance is that turkey increases its military presence in syria stops the government offensive and imposes a ceasefire but such agreement will be decided by 3 key powers russia turkey and iran has.

Hello once again is a huge contrast in temperatures that moment across northern and central parts of japan is due to this weather system on the north would side with a lot of snow further south winds coming up from a long way south and therefore the air is quite low thats why youve got a high of 17 in tokyo contrasting with a matter of just 2 in sapporo and this circulation of low pressure in the northern part of the sea of japan is likely to high ground and that will bring further showers to jeer in the course of choose day but through monday southern honestly wanted to showers is fine across the Korean Peninsula but pretty chilly there maxim of just minus 4 in seoul but fine across a good part of china sunshine there in hong kong and highs of 16 so theres your choose day forecast is the air of low pressure just moving into qaida the showers still there the temperatures still struggling with the winds 20 more towards the northwest then it should be somewhat cooler in tokyo heading into southeastern parts of asia here lots of showers as youd expect certainly through java and bali and were going to see a fair few showers across borneo certainly for malays imported looks pretty wet at times but it should be a largely brighter day as we head on through into choose day northwards into vietnam you see the strength of winslow on the coast there could be some big surf be careful about from there in the highs of 33. If you were looking at this from the outside you would really wonder what was going on but what is this gross is a religion that they have an indepth exploration of global capitalism and our obsession with economic drug this is still the center of capitalism there is no limits i view myself as a capital artist we are trying to evade the world smaller and smaller we dont want to be set realistic in the world we would rather have a fantasy growing pains on aljazeera when the news breaks. When people who need to be heard of general situation of course is affecting both of any advantage in graphics and the story needs to be told with exclusive interviews as a country that is used to being polarized and indepth reports moving through have i feel quite a bit out is iraq has teams on the ground there saying that theyre against you on the united to play a neuro bluetooth documentaries and live news. Youre on the news are from aljazeera and these are our top stories china has reported 105. 00 more coronavirus deaths spring in the global total to 1770. 00 also 2 flights evacuating u. S. Citizens who were stuck on a cruise ship left japan those on board who tested positive for the virus to stay behind. A u. N. Envoy describing the arms embargo on libya as a joke Foreign Ministers from 13 nations discuss the issue at the Munich Security Conference they greet not to interfere that many of those countries have been deeply involved in conflicts and in syria state media is reporting Government Forces backed by russian warplanes have seized most of the rebel held areas of aleppo province part of the governments offensive to take the Northern Region near the Turkish Border including italy its. So lets go back to the coronavirus epidemic has done a lot of things as well as killing and infecting people its curbed travel and disrupted Global Supply chains its spread to more than 2 dozen countries but interestingly one of asias most populous nations is yet to report a single case indonesians who were evacuated from the chinese epicenter we have now been released with a clean bill of health jessica washington reports now from one of indonesias most important Tourist Spots ali. Its quieter than usual on balis beaches tens of thousands of Chinese Tourists who would have spent their winter holidays on the island have had to postpone their plans because of the corona Virus Outbreak who visit is from china who landed here before the outbreak escalated there were 2 choices return home or extend this stay at least 300 out of the 5000 who are here have applied for visa extensions but you and her husband are ready to go home the couple say theyre confident chinese authorities and governments around the world handling the situation you know what we need to go back to our jobs and our children need to go to school so in our holiday ads we will immediately return home every year around a 1000000 Chinese Tourists visit bali and they would direct flights from the outbreak began until they were stopped a few weeks ago as many ask how indonesia has seemingly avoided this outbreak for now this concern the virus is present here but undetected somewhere in this vast archipelago a recent study by harvard researchers looked at data around the outbreak and its link with a travel volume it calculated the risk of an outbreak in countries with direct flights to when the outbreak began and found the disease could already be in indonesia some say indonesia is vulnerable. There are many ports of entry into the country so many airports and ways for people to get in and some areas dont have the right equipment to take to the virus. But authorities here are defending the measures taken by indonesia. Weve been mapping the spread of what would happen if there was a right we have 100 hospitals ready now and getting ready the facilities and personnel are prepared. The World Health Organization also says the country is taking the right steps to detect the virus and prepare for cases. Have. And. Its been confirmed one Chinese National who traveled to bali has constructed the virus but its not clear whether that happened in bali where authorities are looking into the case and on this island many are anxiously waiting to know jessica washington aljazeera. There are details emerging of a massacre in cameroon at least 22 people including 14 children were killed by an armed group on friday it happened in the following village of me got about in the northwest of a has been fighting there between rebels and the government over a push to carve out a separate English Speaking nation u. S. Secretary of state might compare is now im golar after his trip to senegal this is his 1st visit to africa since c. Took office more than 2 years ago but pompei is trip comes at an awkward time as nicolas explains. Explaining chums policy towards africa its the Challenging Mission set his secretary of state mike pompei on a 5 day visit to the continent the visit comes after the white house and now and a travel ban on 4 african nations and a withdrawal of troops from west africa as long as terrorism which endangered 350000000 people right here in west africa. It threatens americans too we are counting on setting go it is an important ally in this fight my assured our friends that the u. S. Will keep up this fight as well. According to the u. N. Attacks by armed groups like the Islamic State in the Greater South and book doubled with 4000 deaths in the last year we know those are key roles actually United States plays an entity junks some bands and training i think it just demonstrate the fact that africa isnt a priority for the us and for Top Administration despite tribes travel ban being extended at the end of february to take in the 4 african countries including nigeria the continents biggest economy pompei all insisted that the u. S. Is open for business. And warned against chinas growing influence since 2000 china has invested over 280000000000. 00 in africa and now it seems that the investment is paying off chinese investors are using african nations to avoid u. S. Trade tariffs imposed on goods made in china or go outside the fed and if the we have the trade deals in place with the us we can export to the u. S. Duty free and thats what is attracting chinese investors to come here in senegal and more generally to africa also it takes just 14 days from the car by ship to get goods to do us compare that to shanghai where it takes 2 months and its a lot more expensive. After senegal pump it was heading to angola then 3 countries benefiting from chinese investments compare calls it a debt trap saying American Investments are a lot better the challenge for the secretary of state is to put word into action and on that china is one step ahead Nicolas Hawke aljazeera deckard William Lawrence is the senior i junked professorial lecturer at the school of International Service at the American University he told us earlier. To counter the influence of china. U. S. Policy towards africa was articulated in the speech 2 years ago by bolton at the Hudson Institute and its mostly about sort of Less Government spending for more Better Outcomes in terms of trade and investment and countering chinese and russian influence now china is the biggest state investor and the biggest lender in africa and thats increasing but the u. S. Is the biggest private sector investor and thats increasing too so its 2 different models of engagement private sector led where the terms are sometimes better but its not necessarily as much in the Public Interest except in terms of job creation and the chinese model which creates a big debt burden which is what prompted i was referring to but may reach sort of National Objectives in terms of say building housing with the african urbanising population certainly the chinese one is succeeding because theyre investing more and so thats thats the trap the pump is referring to because. If you find someone who will lend you lots of money on disadvantaged just terms then the problem is a long term problem not a short term problem the main problem for Us Investment is that companies are a bit skittish about going into africa but jumping ministration has a number of mixed signals including over these travel bans and other things and so thats making us companies not as lets say interested in taking risks in going into africa but with these moves and a number of other sort of Africa Investment cond conferences of the u. S. Has been organizing there is some Forward Momentum and u. S. Investment in africa is up and thats the point of pumping. India has rejected an offer from the un to mediate in the kashmir dispute its a bilateral issue but the un secretary general antonio terrace made the offer during a visit to pakistan and some about has been lobbying to put pressure on india after it withdrew the autonomy of kashmir territory under its control. And then deeply concerned about the increase in tensions that we have witnessed last year i have repeatedly stressed the importance of exercising maximum restraint and taking steps to deescalate bill smily terribly invertibility while rhetoric thing my offer to exercise my good offices should both sides us diplomacy and dialogue remain the only tools that get into peace and stability. Linnaeus Supreme Court recently ruled that states are no longer bound to reserve job promotions for the socalled lower costs and other groups but now people are pushing back and thats a bit purana spoke to protest as a new to me. People have gathered here in the center of the indian capital new delhi to protest against the Supreme Courts ruling on friday that affirmative action in government jobs and promotions is not the fundamental right various groups and Political Parties have spoken out against the ruling they say that the Indian Constitution guarantees affirmative action for the most socially disadvantaged groups now these reservations are quotas as theyre known here ive given to cost based groups made to a group called the dollars and also to tribes people to rectify historical wrongs perpetrated by the hindu religions caste hierarchy. Trick by the man who are the forces of. So we are here with this simple slogan 1st save constitution. See if citizenship saved constitution we are to see here for the respect we needed to believe as i believe. This protest has been created by a very popular man by the name of chandrashekhar as that who is the leader of the community hes asked people to march from here to the Indian Parliament but there is a Large Police Presence are there to stop people from reaching parliament has also asked politicians belonging to the past and tribes to ask the Indian Government to nullify the Supreme Courts verdict.
