Pray countries outside china are imposing restrictions on tens of thousands of people trying to contain the coronavirus south koreas president has raised the alert level to its highest and urged officials to take what he calls unprecedented powerful measures another increase in cases brings its nationwide total to 602. 00 with 5 People Killed when are you going to. We have vividly witnessed how dangerous it is to have mass meetings in an enclosed indoor space in terms of the spread of a contagious disease i urge everyone to restrain themselves from group of vents corrective it is not only an indoor places but also outdoor places which can harm others schools d and Cultural Centers have been shut in parts of iran at least 8 people have died there with 43. 00 infected the cases are largely linked to a muslim holy city of coma and italy 50000 people are under lockdown in the north to have died with more than 100 and fact it is europes worst hit country in a moment well get more from also bake in tehran 1st its going to rob my bride who is in de doo in south korea so. Tell us how theyre getting a handle on things and. Well thats right to be in these these measures would be welcomed here by Health Officials and hospital officials trying to. Deal with these 2 outbreaks that weve had we have 2 clusters here in the southeast of the country thats the main concern really for the whole of south korea at the moment is making sure that these clusters do not spread here in the city of daegu we have one cluster that we know is centered on a particular church here a number of churchgoers being infected in fact they account for just over half of the total number of infections but in neighboring chango county here weve also had another cluster that is linked to this city where weve had a hospital that had the disease spread very quickly through patients and members of staff that hospital now is being converted being dedicated to fighting the coronavirus many of the patients who suffered from the coronavirus very severe symptoms have been transferred out but extra medical staff of them have been sent in there converting that hospital along with a number of other facilities here specialist wards Testing Centers all these different resources now being put to try to deal with this outbreak and of course by declaring the red alert level the highest level that allows the Central Government to direct more resources down to this southeast area. In the president of south korea within a very grave mood when he announced the new measures saying that the next few days for south korea will be critical saying that the country has set a kind of a watershed juncture its very important that if this is going to be controlled and it has to be controlled at this moment to calling on provinces and also cities to take the initiative to step up to support this effort and there are various other measures being taken such as schools that have been on vacation that vacation has been extended well into the week all the different ways of trying to reduce the risk of further infections trying to stop further clusters from forming anywhere in south korea is there a sense of responsibility there for the citizens themselves ted to self isolate to do their part to try to keep this from spreading. When you go around you talk to people people are very alarmed theyre very worried fearful almost but there doesnt seem to be a sense of panic South Koreans have been through these kind of outbreaks before theyve had theyve dealt with mers for example from the middle east which was a very deadly outbreak that claimed the number of lives so they know what to do they do seem to heed the warnings here in the city of daegu the streets have been eerily quiet as people have basically stayed indoors they also the government made an appeal this being a sunday youd expect to see Church Services take place throughout south korea. Specially in the southeast of the country all the churches seem basically to be locked shut people have heeded that warning they have stayed away from crowds the governments also urged the same to take place in seoul weekends we have large rallies large gatherings but a number of Political Parties especially those opposed to the government it seems have gone ahead with their rallies it seems even the coronavirus doesnt get in the way of politics here in south korea.

Irans neighbor iraq is setting up quarantine areas aimed at preventing the spread of the corona virus there are fears hundreds of thousands of iranian visitors to holy sites could spread the virus matheson reports. These quarantine wards in baghdad are part of iraqs frontline against the covert 19 strain of corona virus many of the rooms and corridors of sterilized and sealed a nurse recorded these pictures from aljazeera recently iraqis arriving from china have been tested here even though they werent showing any symptoms medical staff say no one was carrying the virus. Who gropes from the stuff from the doctors. The feeling of the hospital. Groups this. About this why of us. Do you think this one symbol of. Every month thousands of religious travelers visit shia holy sites in iraq including the shrine of him on hussein in the Western Province of caterpillar and the shrine of him in the jeff they also spend much needed money in nearby hotels and restaurants many of from neighboring iran which is reported infections and deaths linked to corona virus the governor of najaf province says he wants visitors to stop coming. In and i do not have the right to prevent anyone from coming in but we have asked the Health Ministry and they have asked people not to come from around or to travel there. But planes from iran some carrying iraqi passengers are still landing had not jeff airport. Yes people are afraid there are rumors most iraqis are Wearing Masks and even after landing here they kept their masks on. One popular shia holy site is the shrine of him im quoting here in baghdad one of iraqs most crowded cities iraq says that its opening up quarantine areas at various crossing points along its border with iraq its also a hole to flights between iraq and iraq for the forseeable future but there is another issue iraq and iran do about 12000000000. 00 worth of trade every year and a lot of that comes across the border if the borders limited or even closed iraqs economy itself. Iraqs doctors now have to wait to see if their defense against the virus is Strong Enough rob Matheson Al Jazeera back down. 50000 people in northern italy had been told to stay at home as the government tries to contain the virus emergency measures following 2 deaths and around 100 infections in northern italy reports. Life inc you dont youre in northern italy is now happening behind closed doors the towns mayor has told the 15000 residents to stay at home to prevent the spread of the coronavirus rosica valley is one of the few people venturing out she owns a pharmacy and the man has told her to keep it open to. Manny were all afraid but were crossing our fingers hoping all right if someone doesnt feel well they should react early because people can be cured if they come to hospital in a desperate situation its much more difficult to cure them 2 people have died of corona virus in northern italy and with dozens infected its europes was hit country in course in course i mean doesnt it be. An indepth investigation is being carried out by the local Health Authorities with the support of technicians from the National Institute of health the aim is to reconstruct the transmission chain and we expect to have some answers in the coming days. Prime minister picante has announced a ban on people entering or leaving zones designated coronavirus hotspots but hes ruled out suspending the European Union shang going to agreement and says the Free Movement of people and goods across italys borders will continue. At the moment there are absolutely no conditions for an initiative of this kind not to mention the devastating impact it would have on our economy and paradoxically i want to reverse the question why would we want to make italy an outcast there are no conditions for it to come to this nor do we want to do it. Could own your is one of a dozen towns in northern italy thats in lockdown italian say theyre frightened and have no idea when life will return to normal Victoria Gate and be aljazeera. Its definite arjun is a journalist based in milan he joins us from there stefano i appreciate your time so much of the numbers and italy seem to be going up fairly quickly as far as you know are these truly confirmed cases that have been specifically tested for corona virus. Or yes this is what the telling authorities are saying that these 78 cases are. Cases that are for sure people infected by the corona virus but on the other hand as many experts are saying probably see many more cases of infection over the next days as people now are more afraid of the virus and more likely asked more for a check by a medical stuff whereas up to 23 days ago the virus was perceived as something very far from italy and so many people with maybe some flu symptoms just did not think about going to the hospital or ask you for a check. Because these numbers seem to be escalating fairly quickly is it is it your sense there that people feel the government has a handle on it or not quite yet. Well i would say yes in respect to what the experts are saying the ministry of health that are better spent on the terror and National Health system is Strong Enough to face this situation and many many italian experts have said the same thing actually italy was the 1st country in europe to suspend so old china flights at the end of january. So yes theres been theres been a debate on these for for the for the 4 weeks. On the other hand up to a few days ago it was not communicated very well and wisely that a person possibly infected by the virus should not go to the hospital but he said ask your medical staff to reach him and this is what allegedly happened with the 1st italian infected so these person a few days ago went to the hospital and by going to dust will spread the virus within the ospital and to be armed its an interesting point really interesting point there you would think you go to the hospital but thats not necessarily always the case and 7 of us and i thank you very much thank you japans Health Minister has apologized after a cruise ship passenger tested positive for the crown of virus after she was allowed to go home elderly woman is in the hospital after being stuck on board the diamond princess the ship which was quarantined for 2 weeks and the port of yokohama 23. 00 passengers were eventually allowed to disembark without being tested for the virus around 80 percent of the 770. 00 infection cases in japan were on that ship the governments facing increasing criticism for the response with the Tokyo Olympics to end july. As been a month since china and posed a wide reaching walk down on who bay province the epicenter of this outbreak and its having an Economic Impact how annoying is managing director of asia analytic she says a slowdown is being felt across the region so as korean come at you fracture currently has essentially stopped production because some crucial parts that they source for china have not been available and that was just a couple of weeks into the lockdown so no because this is such a globalized world such a connected world that if youre missing 11. 00 part from your production it could essentially hold the antiauthority so this supply Chilling Effect is going to be very important but this too just on the International Level even if its domestic business and you are selling to the domestic market but if you are so certain your supply from one really stuck so good to see yourself after this should i 1st applied are some in guangdong or some in shadow i dont put my x in one basket so theres still we need to be a big reshuffle in sync.

Continue to fall out of turkey at least 8 people in the eastern band province border in iran have died in a magnitude 5. 00 earthquake several people are also believed to be trapped under the rubble dozens are injured on the iranian side are joins us live from had today in Southern Turkey i know youve been gathering more information on this what can you tell us. Well basically the rescue operation is still under way the authorities are traveling throughout all those districts and villages on the border with iran to assess the situation the damage to the buildings but they say they are the governor has just said that hes confident at this moment theres no one trapped and rather we do understand that 8 people were killed 21 injured and 8 of those injured severely injured according to the authorities but i said this still trying to gauge the stance of the scope of the magnitude of the earthquake. In the 7. 5 magnitude earthquake in the area and as you know richelle these are some of the most earthquake problems in the world last month for example in 2 provinces and also 41 people were killed and a 1500 people were injured and this is because of the major active fault lies. In each time one of the bus the other this is where earthquakes occur in 2011 for example in valley itself the same province of. More than 500 people were killed in a 7 point one magnitude earthquake and this explains why the authorities are saying now that they have managed to go so are most of these areas thats fresh from problems all the way to establish exactly what happened and they say that for the time being this is what they could establish 8 were killed 21. 00 injured ok. The latest on that on that earthquake thank you.

Bernie sanders has cemented his front runner status in the democratic race to choose a contender against donald trump but the decisive win and the nevada caucuses as the 1st contest with a racially diverse electorate its rivals are now looking to the South Carolina primary to keep their chances alive probably annals reports a las vegas we have now won the battle clark in. A resounding victory for Bernie Sanders as he sealed his position as front runner and moved a step closer to winning the democratic nomination we have just put to go. A multigenerational multi ridge Racial Coalition which is going up not only win in nevada its going to sweep this country. The vermont senator set up a strong and Sophisticated Organization in nevada winning strong support from white and latino voters with his calls for universal Health Care Student Debt Forgiveness and a Green New Deal to defeat Global Warming the victory came through the efforts of a small army of enthusiastic mostly young volunteers. Many of them gathered in downtown las vegas to celebrate as the results came in for our sanders was so confident of victory here in nevada that hes good this r. T. And spent the day instead holding rallies in texas now thats one of the big delegate rich state that holds its primary on super tuesday march 3rd sanders now as a boost of momentum going into super tuesday joe biden came in 2nd in nevada and is hoping to do better in South Carolina next week losing centrist candidates like pete would a judge warned sanders is too left wings to defeat President Donald Trump in november senator sanders believes in an inflexible ideological revolution that leaves out most democrats not to mention most americans. Earlier in the vetted democratic voters gathered in schools libraries and casinos to stand for their candidates at 0 a Vista High School outside las vegas caucus goers argue sometimes passionately to win over other voters. And what this man made a good movie but in the end the night and nevada the warm to Bernie Sanders robert oulds al jazeera las vegas. Its national and state as a professor of u. S. Government at the university of essex she joins us via skype from birmingham where prescience her time very much so what do you attribute such a such a big way and by Bernie Sanders to nevada well he had already been doing well so he had a lot of momentum because he did so well in iowa and New Hampshire a lot of it is the fact that hes a really effective campaigner hes very electrifying when hes on the campaign trail people see him in person hes able to really speak to people and resonates with them he has been really effective in raising money so he has a huge war chest so there have been all kinds of ads playing not just in nevada but of course hes looking to super tuesday looking to california looking to texas he wants a lot of delegates there and apparently youve been spent on 1000000 in just Spanish Language ads in california so he has a very Broad Coalition as as nevadas rebuilds show hes not just attracting young people and Students College students but also hispanics he had a sizable chunk of support from africanamerican voters and thats also going to learn some moderates to so hes been able to so Big Coalition lets talk about that the africanamerican vote yes nevada is more diverse than the New Hampshire and then iowa but its not nearly as diverse as South Carolina will be how significant is it to to South Carolina for the the africanamerican vote to really be tested i mean they are they are the base of the Democratic Party. Right so it is critical that you win the support of africanamericans and that would be another big test for sanders in South Carolina and it looks like biden will win South Carolina based on the polls and that is absolutely important providing to turn things around but sanders has been able to attract africanamerican support i mean of that it does have about 10 percent africanamericans and some of them have decided to support him and hes been in particular been able to attract young africanamerican voters and so well i didnt and sanders are looking to to South Carolina for sanders hes hoping to make huge inroads there and just keep the momentum going in providing he needs a big win and to show the democratic voting public that he is the best candidate not only to win over moderates but to attract these key demographics of minority voters i want to ask you about something that Bernie Sanders tweeted of a couple days ago that got a bit of attention he said ive got news for the republican republican establishment ive got news for the democratic establishment they cant stop us. And that does that sound unifying a unifying message to you for the person who may end up being the candidate of the Democratic Party. Right now it doesnt sound unifying that was what judge was saying and in his speech that he made right after the nevada caucuses that this is a candidate that does appeal to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party but may not be able to attract everybody in particular sanders has a little bit of a chip on his shoulder because of what happened in 2016 when the Democratic Party was hacked and it revealed that the higher up leadership in the Democratic Party did not want him to win the nomination because they felt that he just was too extreme a candidate and wouldnt be able to to resonate with with moderates with independents thats going to be one of the big issues just with this whole democratic race and we Bernie Sanders in general if he wins the nomination he has to appeal to more people than just progressives and i dont know that hes going to be able to pivot but he has to unite people and not just motivate the base and so thats going to be one of the questions let me ask you this though obviously hes one of the most progressive people in the party clearly hes not even technically from the mainstream Democratic Party as a democratic socialist right but if you look back the republicans largely used the term socialist as a criticism also barack obama which obviously wasnt true i mean he was he was moderate with maybe a tad of progressivism so are they are there democrats over really concerned about how theyre going to be labeled because it may not be based in truth anyway. Well they are just concerned about winning over in the pendants and that would be a concern for really any party that you do need to. Both win over independents and moderate voters and also energize the base so its an understandable concern because what happens in the primaries is that the party moves to the more extreme both part. And in the democrats you see more extreme things happening because you only have about 25 to 30 percent of the people coming out to the primaries that would seem that way and then whoever gets the nomination has to pivot back to the center in order to win it is very difficult to win if you have a very extreme platform so search egypt really the democrats are thinking that they need to be able have a candidate that has a broad base appeal while at the same time not polling in the trap that they did 2016 where they just completely didnt animate the base even had lower turnout than you had in previous elections the toss the thank you so much for your insight we appreciate it thanks for having. Our eyes turn to weather now with richard. Thank you very much for shell but im going to show you the breach ill wind occurring at the moment no regional and local winds occur in the hundreds and thousands or around the globe but i could fill a whole program with this and i suspect we use a few viewers a long way but never some fascinating to dishes weve got one such wind affecting the Canary Islands at the moment those are on the satellite picture you see a bit of cloud there but if we switch channels obviously change the wavelength of the satellite picture you can see this great musser suns moving out across in particular for it to ventura and gran canaria and this wind is called the collimator the cleaner as already been affecting growing canary found significant flight delays and cancellations visibility extremely poor and because this wind is coming out of the sahara thats the cause of all the dust all the pollution is also bringing up some very very warm air and deeds and weve seen temperatures in the southwest of gran canaria up to 31 degrees with nighttime temperatures no lower than 27 degrees now as a run the forecasting see those winds are strong winds coming out of Western Sahara and also morocco temperatures but 22. 00 degrees not last pumice but the sound the eastern side the honors it could be considerably warmer but its hard to get through to monday the winter days and hopefully that visibility should improve michel thank you very much.

S. Presidency but the divisive where and the devout are honest. About our top story the corona Virus Outbreak chinas leaders are contemplating whether to cancel next months annual Parliament Session the delay would allow government officials to concentrate on controlling the virus adrian brown reports. The National Peoples congress is chinas biggest political event of the year drawing almost 3000. 00 delegates from across china. Was one of the few occasions when all of chinas leadership is on show but the governments own advice is for people to avoid large public gatherings that means this years n. P. C. Is almost certain to be postponed possibly delaying a key announcement on economic. Both targets chinas president xi jinping says that getting the economy moving again while containing the spread of the virus remains his priority he has to tell the Chinese People something you can choose total blackness or you can choose a sort of veneer of transparency what we dont know as with all governments is whats happening behind closed doors over sorts of things and more importantly for transparency what we dont know is that whats coming out in the media is something we can necessarily trust ryan manual is an expert in chinas public Health System he says the governments initial response to the outbreak in early january was correct it reacted very quickly it found out what the virus was test for the virus and then that period 2 weeks after that reacted appalling this past week chinese diplomats have been on the offensive defending the expulsion of 3 foreign reporters and brushing aside international skepticism over the constant changes to chinas testing criteria for the virus but that criticism has been very selective says one analyst they show at us and saying that us making the virus worse and is discriminatory against china but when nowadays russia made. Our decision to close the border for all the chinese nationals it cannot say a word its not just the National Peoples congress thats now in doubt so too is a key economic conference known as the bow Economic Forum also held each year in march if the National Peoples congress is cancelled then analysts say theres one thing guaranteed to be missing from the agenda when it does eventually convene a cause to hold chinas leaders to account for this crisis adrian brown aljazeera hong kong. Polls are open in a german city state election which is being seen as a major test for the mainstream parties americas been a stronghold for the social democrats for 10 years now theyre under threat from former Coalition Partners the greens germanys largest port is vulnerable to rising sea levels and Climate Change is an important factor for many voters started again as live in harbor for for us so tell us more about what that the issues are dominic. Will its effectively Climate Change has been one of the central policy differences as it were between those previous Coalition Partners of the social democrats and the greens and so far as today is concerned well a steady stream of rain has been falling for several hours and yet that hasnt deterred a steady stream of voters here at the polling station behind me the point of difference between those previous government partners has been about the speed with which they implement changes in policy regarding Climate Change the greens well theyre very clear they want to accelerate the pace with which this city and all the city states rather makes itself carbon free they want to make it much quicker than at a federal level the social democrats will they say no we are not a party thats all for the talk shows we are a party that wants to implement policy and from that perspective that means abandoning coal fired power stations in this state a question will be what are the voters make of that to find that out and several hours from now so why and how is it that what happens there what are the implications for that for the country overall. Well the point to make here is hamburg is one of the biggest cities in germany and so what happens here is a good reflection of how the urban population of german citizens feels politically then there is the thing to the point to make that here the social democrats govern and of course they govern in the federal sense too as junior partners to wrangle americas christian democrats but their poll rating at a National Level well they have been at a low ebb for some considerable time in other elections theyve struggled to get momentum so many social democrats are hoping that perhaps a positive performance here might portend a revival at a National Level meanwhile the green party well they too look to hope to increase upon the amount of votes they won the last time this city state elected its parliament and then the wild card here is what about more right tween parties what about the far right party of the alternative for germany which traditionally has not prospered in this state how might they do because remember the back of everyones mind is that there will be a general election in this country in less than 18 months so when you have affectively a large city state opinion poll like whats happening today it gives people a sense of well what policy issues might we need to bring to the fore as we get up into election mode for next year ok john mccain live in hamburg thank you.
