opera also standing by in washington d.c. for fiscal 2 barnaby lo who is in manila said barnaby tell us more about what we know this for about this person who died and a hospital in the philippines. hi michelle you mentioned earlier that the w h o is worried that poor countries may be ill equipped to battle this virus and that is exactly what filipinos are worried about their word that the health care system here will not be able to handle it in case an outbreak happens here right now there are only 2 cases of confirmed cases rather of novell coronavirus one is that man that you mentioned 44 year old man from one china one being the epicenter of the nobel corona virus outbreak he died at a manila hospital on saturday now the other one is a 38 year old woman also right now in that same hospital where the man died she is reportedly in stable condition however these 2 who were reportedly a couple they had traveled for 4 days when they were here in the philippines after arriving in the philippines on january 21st and they were symptomatic and so they were traveling in the central region of the philippines and that is again what's worrying a lot of filipinos they may have come in contact if not with hundreds thousands of filipinos on their flights and on their travels in the central part of the philippines so a lot of worrying here there's a bit of panic here but for the most part life continues here in manila and elsewhere in the philippines ok barnaby give us a broader picture then beyond the philippines of where things stand. well beyond the philippines of course elsewhere in asia there are many more cases of confirmed. virus patients the philippines only has 2 other countries have the u.s. has only already has confirmed 8 cases there are cases in japan and south korea hong kong and in many other places here in asia as well as in other parts of the world and of course flights have been canceled in many routes from china go into many of these countries in asia that includes the philippines and earlier you mentioned new zealand has also canceled or barred entry of foreign nationals traveling from china or those who travel recently traveled to china in the last 14 days and so it's not just in the philippines there's is that sense of panic it's elsewhere in the region as well but here in the philippines there is a sense that the government did not act with urgency that's what a lot of filipinos have been complaining about in the last few days were asked other governments have been quick to bar entry of foreign nationals traveling from china it was only today sunday that the philippine government decided to do that michel ok arnie low with the wrap up there in manila are to be thank you so let's go to washington d.c. now that's where al-jazeera is rob reynolds is standing by so rob there are some confirmed cases in the u.s. so get us up to date on that and more about how the u.s. is dealing with travel restrictions except era. well richelle the 8th a confirmed case of corona virus has been identified in the united states this is in boston massachusetts and the patient is a student in his twenty's who recently traveled to rwanda and then returned to boston he is being quarantined at home and his close contacts are being traced meanwhile in new york city mayor bill de blasio confirmed that there is a suspected case of corona virus in the largest city in the united states but that the patient is still being tested so it is not confirmed that that patient has the virus in fact meanwhile 195 u.s. citizens who were flown from woodland earlier last week are remaining in quarantine at a remote air force base outside riverside california they're going to be held there for 2 weeks as tests are conducted on them. the reports from the people inside the air force base so everyone there is in pretty good spirits but getting a little tired of having their temperatures taken continually the last week echoing what barnaby lo was just saying in your report from new zealand the united states government barred all travelers from china who are not u.s. citizens for an extended period of time to be determined they are not going to be permitted to enter the united states other americans american citizens u.s. citizens who are in china may be evacuated and the united states is set aside now for air force bases 2 in california one. in colorado and one in texas to accommodate up to $1000.00 evacuees again placing them under quarantine if and when they arrive in the united states these would be u.s. citizens and perhaps. chinese citizens who are closely related to those u.s. citizens meanwhile you know the markets are opening tomorrow on monday wall street had a big downturn on friday a lot of the analysts attributed that to concerns about the coronavirus concerns about china's. economic vitality in the face of this enormous crisis of course it's an interconnected world what happens in china reverberates around the world in new york of frankfurt and london so we'll have to see as those markets open how badly the woman virus is having its effect on the world economy all right so far but also with the latest in washington d.c. rob thank you al-jazeera catherine so is and nairobi she says the threat of krajina virus is causing a real concern in regions already affected by pola. there's a lot of concern that have been raised by people living in countries on the continent who are quite worried about how prepared their countries are to deal with corner virus that's why you see in many statements that have been issued by countries in different regions of particularly since statements from kenya and ethiopia all of them trying to assure their citizens that hall is while talking about increased measures talking about increased surveillance border screening screening in all border points and this is something that has been going on from before especially in this region because of an airball outbreak in the democratic republic of congo so government officials i've talked to saying that they're just enhancing these measures in kenya they also say they have expanded the capacity of isolation wards just in case we've also seen several national airlines like one and kenya suspending flights to china kenya has suspended flights to one zoo there's also this response than that if european airlines particularly which is one of the largest airlines on the continent has said it's going to continue with its life to people particularly in ethiopia very concerned about that and it's also important to note there are many many africans working and studying in. china there are about 5000 students in one alone. china's central bank says it will inject $173000000000.00 into the economy on monday markets were closed in china for the lunar new year holiday but that was extended to 2 coronavirus many stores have been shut in china as the outbreak grows in cities placed under lockdown chinese authorities have pledged to support struggling firms to interact a senior fellow at the center for international governments innovations global economy program joins us from the canadian capital on skype thank you so much for your time so obviously when something like this happens that the most immediate concern obviously is loss of life so that's being dealt with with what the medical needs but there are also political and economic concerns as well when when we when something like this affects an economy how so what's the 1st thing that's impacted . well what we're seeing right off the bat is in fact the impact on trade you're seeing the 1st of that with the blight shutdowns into china kind of has shut down 33 blight so we can to china now a lot of cargo of goes in the belly of those passenger aircraft. the baltic dry index which measures the price of flat bed of shipping it's been dropping like a stone since mid twenty's 192019 came in and close a just above recession levels of the global level with 2 point one percent growth 2.5 percent is the margin for recession and and now we're seeing a trade which is only one percent growth last year is on a very very steep downward path right now so the 1st quarter is going to be will see a lot of red ink and the supply chain impacts from china reverberated around the world as you've just heard. and so there are various businesses around the world globally which are relying on inputs from chinese factories that are being shut down so when the 1st quarter will steal a lot of red ink slowdown and then the real question is how quickly this is contained and whether or not there is a rebound so when chinese authorities say that they will support struggling firms what does that mean what does that look like. that will likely be financial support because the financial or the the chinese firms are losing money but that will not translate into real economic activity in the short term and from as a growth stand point of view what really matters is whether or not we're seeing those factories going people are staying home right now they're not shopping the lunar new year is of course a meager period when. shopping is done and when realize their profits for the year so this is doubly damaging from that perspective but the hospitality industry around the world which now has come to rely on chinese tourists is also who could be feeling the pinch share and while financial support from government can stem the damage to companies on their bottom lines it doesn't generate economic activity in the meantime so one more question we're talking about you know the companies big firms and countries that might there be just some average mom and pop shops that don't survive this they take such a financial hit for the fact that there's just not people going anywhere that they actually might lose their business. you will undoubtedly see a lot of financial pain us at that level we see lots of. stalls with in empty markets and these people mean only not the beneficiaries of the of the need to be allowed which tend to go to the large corporations so yeah the knock on effects of this over the coming months or a lucky to be quite severe again it would be a lot depends upon how long this goes. right now for example the airlines have shut down travel to china for at least the month of february the some have gone as far as april so there's a lot of uncertainty yes and i just might add that this is coming in the year of black swans we've had the australia. ferocious forest fires which are shutting down its economy to some extent the riots in hong kong which are have said that economy into recession we have the prolonged uncertainty of a bracks in the us election year and so on and so forth so this is almost a perfect storm of uncertainty for the will economy and for trade and extremely and our connected world interact thank you so much for your insight we appreciate it you're most welcome thank you for having me on. plenty more ahead on the news hour including we'll have more on the corona virus outbreak should she be wearing a protective face mask or get the answers from a health specialist my protesters in iraq say they'll continue to demonstrate despite a new prime minister being named. and sport with just a few hours to go until super bowl $54.00 kicks

to work with this will lead more and more. anger for more. actions from the different political groups from the individuals and. there's been a slight increase in cross border tensions in the last few days a cycle of escalation and shaky truce is that everyone here has had to become used to. only reiterate what so many others have told us 2 people are fed up with their leaders. no one it was not a

term political solution one that allows freedom of movement and the building of infrastructure needed to sustain 2000000 people one that creates jobs and opportunities people tell us they just want to be able to breathe but what this so-called deal of the century does manage to do is highlight just how very far off that political solution is stephanie decker al-jazeera. there have been protests outside the u.s. embassy in lebanon hundreds gathered in beirut to rally against on all fronts proposed middle east plan demonstrators set fire to a banner outside the compound as lebanese troops and riot police looked on iraq's president named former communication mr muhammad alawi as prime minister designate on saturday but his appointment as an op unwelcome and sudden areas where demonstrators have camped out for weeks demanding greater political reforms sort of fulton reports from baghdad. the streets response to iraq's prime minister designate came fast and it was loud and clear. mohammed the law is rejected protesters in tahrir square chanted on saturday night after 2 months of political deadlock president barham saleh chose mohamed allow it to replace the who resigned 2 months ago amid widespread anti-government protests. days prior to allow its appointment we spoke to protesters into here who saw him as another incarnation of a political system that has failed them. for sure he's rejected any person who has a relation with the parties from close or far is reject from all the people in general because for 16 years we haven't seen anything from them just destruction. indeed allawi is part and parcel of iraq's post 2003 political establishment a cousin of former vice president and prime minister ayad alawi he served as a member of parliament and communication minister but resigned in 2012 after he accused the government of sectarianism upon his appointment allowing addressed iraqis in a late night speech pledging to address their demands. i want to point towards the necessity for the peaceful protests to continue that support reforms until they achieve their legitimate demands on the government starts their genuine reforms. just like his predecessor allow a promise to create jobs and fight corruption and he vowed to bring those responsible for the deaths of over $600.00 protesters to account. a concern that we're going to investigate some bring those responsible for the violence against peaceful demonstrators to account. the prime minister designate has 30 days to form a cabinet which must be approved by a parliament that has been deeply divided over how to handle the latest crisis some factions have rejected allowed his appointment but influential shiite cleric mokhtar aside or throw his weight behind
