In this weekend the number of new cases has risen alarmingly by the hundreds and he stressed that the next few days will be critical in stemming the outbreak. The situation has become completely different since the outbreak of mess and fiction extra resources will be directed into trying to stop the spread of the corona virus the urged everyone to avoid massive events well you know you want to. We have vividly witnessed how dangerous it is to have a mass meeting in an enclosed indoor place in terms of the spread of contagious disease everyone to restrain themselves from group of interactivity not on the indoor places but also outdoor places. Sunday across south korea Church Leaders were asked not to hold services yeah. Its sad that we cant hold a Church Service but we are following government policy and we dont want any further spread of the disease in the affected areas most people have heeded warnings to stay indoors as they wait to see if the emergency measures work the south korean government is hoping its latest measures will help limit the clusters of infection to this part of the country knowing the price of failure could mean the kind of travel restrictions imposed on china with the damage that would cause to its economy rob mcbride aljazeera chango county south korea. And south korea has lodged a complaint with israel after a plane load of South Koreans was refused entry 12 israeli passengers were allowed to get off a Korean Airlines flight when it arrived in tel aviv but 130 other passengers were turned back israel is now banning south korean and japanese visitors the move follows the discovery of chronic virus among a group of south korean tourists who visited israel last week and chinese president xi jinping says the situation remains serious and complex leaders are debating whether to cancel next months annual Parliament Session to concentrate on fighting 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 Growth 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 weve 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 in that period 2 weeks afterwards it 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 the show at the us in saying that us making the virus worse than is discriminatory against china but when nowadays russia made a. Decision to close the border for all the chinese nationals they do not 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 saying us director of the China Institute at the university of London School of oriental and African Studies he joins us via skype from nottingham we appreciate your time very much so how would you characterize the language now that chinas president is using to describe the situation. Now is certain he is a step forward here is something that i think people in china and perhaps in the rest of the world have been waiting to hear for a long term it has been obvious for quite a while an economic consequences or the 19 threat is going to be very serious why why the hesitancy to do this to talk about it this way to address it this way. Well the poetry of the Chinese Government we really has been seizing in the region of the challenge that china is facing reality is that it will still look down on one hand not the existence or the virus that transformed a major Public Health challenge into a crisis and panic in the whole country theres no way to the Chinese Government can acknowledge that knowledge and honor is acknowledging that president xi jinping see the ship has failed something that they will never do ok so whats at stake now besides clearly trying to save lives and stop the spread of this what is it stake for for his particular leadership and is china equipped to handle this well and the Chinese Government has more of a ministry to capacity to and force control again almost any other major countries in the world and forcing that kind of control may not necessarily be sufficient to do with the Public Health challenge or that they need quick ability in the government and they need corporation from the population at large and those areas are somewhat wanting at the moment with president xi jinping acknowledging that there is going to be a severe economic crisis coming up there and it is something which i think hes preparing people in china much better not to confront the question that they moved face in the coming weeks and how how care is it that china have some sort of International Involvement at this i mean at 1st it seem that theyre a bit hesitant to even let people from the show now as he understand that has happened but how key is it now for china not to be too closed off. Well i think simpleton that china is not closed off that we all Work Together to confront these. Public Health Challenge that is potentially going to go global is very positive to think of you actually has been involved from fairly early honed but did the Chinese Government is comfortable with it w h o u woman because the show has gone out to persuade to be not critical of what the Chinese Government has done a full medical services in any other country that may be less than them about the Chinese Governments response is i suspect a chinese coming next we welcome you more ok stay saying fresh air expertise on this new look japan has confirmed a 3rd case of a passenger from that cruise ship that was corn chain for 2 weeks earlier the Health Minister apologized after another passenger tested positive for the corona virus after she was allowed to go home 23. 00 passengers were eventually allowed to disembark without being tested for the virus about 80 percent of the 770 infection cases in japan were on that ship as we said earlier restrictions are in place across iran because of krona virus lets go live to dorset ari in tehran or so they seem pretty clear on where they think that this all started so how are leaders there getting a handle on it. Well the president held an emergency session of the Supreme NationalSecurity Council on saturday where he gave the powers to the House Ministry to do as they fit to try and control control the spread of this disease and the Health Ministry has since issued a statement saying that the pharmacies across the country will longer be allowed to sell any of the protective gear is because the government will be handing them out free across the country in various Public Transportation stations and we know that theyve already started that here in the capital tehran where there have been a number of cases confirmed we also know that the holy city of calm is still at this epicenter of this outbreak officials there have urged many people to not pay a visit visits to that city home is about 120 kilometers south of the capital tehran and its home to just over a 1000000 people but many visitors go through that city because of the pilgrimage site that is there and we also know that the Foreign Ministry and the Government Spokesperson have canceled their oppressors on monday morning in the capital trying to contain the spread of this disease we know that many of the confirmed cases have also been reported in the capital out of those 43. 00 that we believe the Health Ministry has confirmed to be true we also understand that the dormitories at Tehran University have been evacuated as the request of the dean of the university thats home to just over 2000 students there is an effort across the country to try and minimize peoples movements and gathering a Public Places the local schools about 2 thirds of them have been closed until the end of this week as well as universities and we also understand that the theaters and cinemas across the country have also been closed until next week this is all in an effort to try and contain the spread of this disease all right dorsetshire baria live in tehran dorset thank you.

Who gropes from the stuff from the doctors so this was a bill for the killing of those for the. Groups of 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 im 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. To him that 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 it various crossing points along its border with iraq its also halted 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.

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.

Runner status of the democratic race to choose a contender against donald trump but the decisive win in the nevada caucuses this was the 1st contest with a racially diverse electorate its rivals are now looking to the South Carolina primary to keep their chances a live report from las vegas we have now one. Quarter of a resoundingly victory for Bernie Sanders as he sealed his position as front runner and moved a step closer to winning the democratic nomination. A multigenerational multi ridge Racial Coalition ringback 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 StudentDebt 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.

Or should i say Democratic Political strategist explains why nevada is an important indicator of support from minority voters people may have heard about the 1st 2 contests New Hampshire and iowa they make big news because they make big news the importance of the nevada caucus though is that this is a caucus in a population that far more resembles a democratic electorate nevada is a diverse state with voters Asian American voters africanamerican voters this is a demographic that New Hampshire and iowa really lacks so this gives us an idea of how the electorate in general are more representative idea of the electorate general and at least in terms of the democrats themselves South Carolina will be similar theres a large africanamerican population for International Viewers if it isnt clear racial. That the way that candidates interact with different demographic groups and different racial issues is enormously important in our politics particularly in Democratic Politics so this is that 1st contest that really factors that people been voting in a german city state election that seen as a major test for mainstream parties have been a stronghold for the social democrats for 10 years now that are under threat from Coalition Partners the greens germanys latest largest rather porch is vulnerable to rising sea levels and Climate Change and its important for many voters dominate cain is live for us and hallmarks to tell us more about how how the issue of Climate Change is playing in this election. Its the central issue for the central parties as it were in this government which has presided over this city state for the past 5 years the greens in the social democrats in government with each other but now at loggerheads with each other about how fast they should approach changing policies to prevent Climate Change the greens say no thats accel or at the process whereby we can banish carbon completely from everything the City Government does they want that to be much quicker than other parties would suggest the social democrats say no thats its easy to say such things but hard to implement them instead they think that its better to prioritize doing away with coal powered power stations and that sort of thing each making different pitches to the voters in so far as how things are going today while the poor weather in this city state so far has not prevented voters from coming to the polling stations like the one im standing outside the last projection was a few hours ago 29 percent of the population and already come to vote also the postal vote is much higher this time around than it was the last time this city elected its State Government much higher which suggests many more voters are taking an interest in the politics of this state dominic tell us more explain how what happened there is that reflect ever can be indicative of issues for the country as a whole. The thing to remember is that this is the 2nd largest city in germany it is an economic and industrial powerhouse in germany and as such when its citizens go to the polls its almost like an opinion poll of urban germany certainly that is how many parties will look at it and theyll say ok well if the if a particular party is prospering maybe that the policies of that party are something that the other parties might want to to grab on the coattails as it were the other thing to say is that a federal level we know the social democrats have been at a low ebb politically for some time in successive parliamentary elections in other states they have not prospered and yet here they consider this is a stronghold of theres a shining light for them so how they perform might well suggest might well be a pointer to how their politics will progress and then for the other parties too for the greens will they be able to boost their presence in the parliament to boost their presence in government and then one wildcard would be what about the parties of the right certainly of the far right the alternative for Germany Party never really prospered in this part of germany nor indeed in the west german states how will they do in this election me should get a 1st suggestion of how all the parties have performed in the next few hours ok. Thank you are on a system now to its lowest voter turnout since the 1979 revolution with just 42. 5 percent of people going to the polls at that to be a line of flight for a coalition of hard line conservative party they have won all of tehrans 33 final results are still coming in from elsewhere had limited options with thousands of mostly moderate candidates disqualified from fridays election.
