shelling in the northern province of at liberty yes recently sent and reinforcements russia a key syrian ally is denying syrian forces were targeted but turkey's president says 30 to 50 syrian troops were killed. about $30.00 to $35.00 syrian soldiers were eliminated within these positions and as we cede we openly made it clear that we are targeting the syrian forces simply because it was the man who attacked 2 if your soldiers we cannot sit on our hands we will hold to account all those responsible for the attack on toother soldiers turkish forces launched a military operation in northeast syria in october of last year to drive kurdish y.p. g. forces away from its border that was triggered by the us decision to withdraw military support to the kurdish syrian democratic forces who are involved in fighting eisel the turks control a long strip of territory between the towns of. lenin and ne syria present his russian counterpart vladimir putin brokered a ceasefire in january in that area but bad agreement collapsed when syrian forces backed by russia launched a campaign to recapture and live ankara accuses moscow of going back on that deals so we have 2 correspondents on this step mas and is standing by for us in moscow for russia's reaction 1st let's go to jim cosell who's in istanbul associate and 1st of all what is the latest. well rachele the latest is that the clashes continue right now and live between the. turkish backed a syrian national army and syrian regime side then the clashes are intensified their answer aka where it turkey was trying to establish another military post and a yesterday's turkish convoy that was headed by the syrian government factions. was was because the those were the reinforcements being deployed to the area according to turkey's presenters of taper are don this is this is unbelievable because he has every piece of this before many times he always told 2 journalists here in turkey that russian president vladimir putin didn't want to understand what's going on in the field so he's trying to actually differentiate between moscow and the mascots right now but he stays turkey turkey will respond to it will turkey will continue to retaliate and current that the retaliations are pursuing and he said that he will be taught after the counterpart to groups like foreign ministries defense ministers and intelligence is between moscow and ankara evaluate this latest incident he will also speak to russian president vladimir putin to lay out turkish opinion turkish point of view and this is interesting because these attacks happened the spider cease fire that was brokered on january 12th the spike a standout there spiked sort of peace processes and according to turkish defense ministry statement in the morning which and now set for turkish soldiers were killed 9 were voted in this incident happened despite a coordination between moscow and uncorrupt because this is their skill ations all inside it live there are yes turkish military observation posts but also there are russian military on the ground in iranian. security forces on the ground so when it comes to everything everything is coordinated between the 2 sides but currently moscow seems to be denying the score to nation and turkey now believes that the hostile attitude to style of behavior by the syrian government which is actually which they are referring to last night's incident is a threat to the whole region and turkey will direct the target the syrian government from not one but of course this is a question mark for everyone and will turkey confront government army syrian army in live if so too if 2 states begin to confront each other directly this is going to be an other proxy war this is going to be a direct war between the 2 so there are things to be answered it whether this our son a peace process is holding or not because a couple of days ago again present our dance state of that it has collapsed because no one neither moscow nor. damascus was abiding with the cease fire and a stance the period they must have been revived so will it be possible to revive their son a cease fire or is it just hope or to missed behavior by the syrian government to push more in turn of the displaced people to turkish border to persuade them to evacuate the military posts inside it live we all need to wait and see dancers for that or it's in for so we're live in istanbul cinema thank you very much so let's go to step vase and she joins us with the angle coming out of moscow so what is the russian response to all of this step. well it's very interesting russia as the main important power broker in syria is pretty quiet about what has been happening in the early morning live there has been one statement from the recon reconciliation center which is based at a russian air base in syria and they basically have a very different version of the events as what we've been hearing from turkey there's no mention of anyone being killed no turkish military has been killed they say there were some several injuries off turkish serviceman that happened when they didn't notify russian troops about their troops movement and then syrian forces attacked them while they were doing an operation against what they call terrorist so basically blaming the turks for not coordinating their movements and this is sort of an accident that's basically the russian federation and also they say that there is no attack by turkey at the moment or anything about clashes that we are currently hearing about is being denied by the russian side they say we haven't seen any reports of turkish air space turkish airplanes violating the airspace in syria and it has not been any attacks by turkey on syria's syrian forces so it is a plain denial here and russia seems to be downplaying this whole event as i shouted there are pretty quiet we haven't heard anything from the ministry of foreign affairs for example or directly from the ministers at this stage there is maybe a phone call expected between one and put in maybe later today but we haven't heard anything about that at this stage. with the latest out of moscow step thank you. growing pressure to contain the corona virus in hong kong has forced the territory to shut down most of its borders with mainland china leader kerry lam says 10 border points which temporarily closed the city is now facing a shortage of protective face mask earlier in hong kong hundreds of medical workers walked off the job as part of the push for leaders to shut down the border with the mainland at least 361 people have died in china while more than 17000 people have been infected and the hospital has started treating patients in the epicenter was on chinese stocks plunged by nearly 9 percent on monday their biggest fall since 2015 the central bank has pledged a $173000000000.00 boost so hong kong later kerry alam says she is confident the border closures will lead to fewer people going to and from mainland china but there are logistical reasons to keep some open our strategy is really to consolidate as much as possible de existing control points now is really don tool excluding the airport they will need to one is descendant bay the. bridge and the at this you know benefit of doing that is we are doing. the traffic to cross border control points and because of the inconvenience that we have cost to people as a result so the numbers will come down. and now to our aid train brown hear more about the border shutdowns and the situation with some hospital workers striking as well and what's going on into. yet a lot of fast moving developments richelle in hong kong today you heard there from caroline the embattled chief executive of hong kong she's been under pressure to close all of the front between hong kong and china she has declined to do that but it means that effectively hong kong has only 2 crossing points now between here and china excluding the international airport now of course health workers have been on strike here in hong kong today because they say they want the chief executive to close the entire border they say that this is the only way of being able to contain this fire as it would carry around the set that would be a discriminatory move and also would go would go against the guidelines of the world health organization but these health workers who began their strike action on monday say that it's going to continue on tuesday and will involve they say front line health workers including doctors and nurses now they say that up to 2400 non-essential medical workers took part in action on monday we haven't been able to verify that we've been to 2 hospitals today outside one of them now absolutely no strike because outside another just a handful of strike because now the government is appealing to these medical workers to put the priorities of hong kong's patients 1st so it's you know worried that this will perhaps spiral into a strike that could go on for 345 days because that of course is the last thing that hong kong needs right now it's medical resources already badly stretch this is a time of year when you know hospitals are inundated because it's you know the flu season here in hong kong also another reason. i carry now and i think has been reluctant to close the border entirely is that a lot of people in hong kong actually work just across the border in chains then on saturday for instance 40000 people went from hong kong to the mainland and then came back again so that's a logistical problem that the chief executive was referring to today the other important thing to remember michel is that hong kong depends on the mainland for a lot of food stuff you know milk water vegetables they have to be trucked in from china so if more border crossings would close then of course that could potentially lead to shortages here in hong kong going forward considering how complex and complicated this issue. to closing some of these border crossings how do you think that this nasal day rate or same by by the public. well last week when kerry announced the partial closure of the front here between china hong kong a lot of the people we spoke to actually in this same street felt that it was too little too late they said the borders should have been closed you know several weeks ago because of course it's quite possible that you know people have been coming back from the mainland to hong kong after the new year new the lunar new year holidays and remember some 202300000 people a queue to come back to hong kong this week could well be carrying this far as i'm not knowing it because we know this virus has a very long incubation period you can have it but not show the symptoms so yet people here feel that most people you speak to say that the border should have been closed a long time ago but karen i'm says that simply would not be practical. and they trained around with the latest in hong kong thank you. now scott high dollar has more from beijing on how china is working to treat the thousands and in fact people . 1400 army medics are now in ruhani ready to work in a newly built hospital for coronavirus patients completed in just 9 days the images of supplies on the way and more medical help on hand the chinese government wants its people and the world to see china has criticized the united states for no substantive help with the outbreak and accuse the u.s. government of spreading fear and panic the new facility is modeled after a similar hospital built outside beijing during the sars crisis 17 years ago the number of dead from the corona virus now exceeds that of sars a 2nd hospital is expected to be finished by the end of the week together they will have 2500 beds for those infected with the virus there is frustration and anger on social media over conditions for the infected and doctors in ruhani china's central government the 1st day back for essential workers after the prolonged holiday focused on easing concern over the supply of needed medical equipment it also look to build confidence in the economy the 2nd largest in the world after factories have been shut and businesses closed because of the virus. could be far as far as we know many export companies are now quickly resuming their production capacity and very slow calories are also taking targeted measures to help create a sound and favorable business environment the central authorities and local governments have all made plans to introduce target measures to help businesses resume their operations. during the 1st day of trading since the lunar new year break the chinese mainland markets close sharply down around 8 percent shy of the 10 percent one day decrease limit set by the markets. to help curb the slide china's central bank injected $174000000000.00 into the market but the spread of the virus is far from over and the lock down of millions of chinese still does not have an end date so the virus has impact on the future of china's financial markets and economy remains unclear it's got to either al-jazeera beijing. yes it is cel up a town if that is an employment evasion platform he says care of the outbreak is already changing company and workers behavior i think we're just starting to see the impacts and the fear is starting to take over and here in japan people's behaviors are starting to change you know like realistically we're only seeing like a 10 to 20 percent impact of tourist numbers of a thing on economy rather than what we saw were like 90 percent when south koreans were last year enough i was going on but i think it's just the beginning or his really changing behavior is fear is becoming more pervasive so there's a lot happening right i think you've seen selling out of masks people can get masks on the secondary 'd market the different absalom something those are something 10 for like $100.00 in japan for example people are trying to stay out of public transportation. here in tokyo for example where we don't have so many cases yep a few here is starting to happen and people that have the ability to you know drive around in a car which is a luxury are doing that to get to meetings or out of the on transportation but specifically here for japan what i'm really hopeful can happen is remote work might actually really happen so demand as been talking about changing a work style for a long time and now companies are starting to send their employees home and just stay away for a month or so so i think we're starting to see people take actions whether it's and whether the south korea taiwan or or china by the few number we're seeing so is changing behavior a lot in economic and company behavior. let him or her the news hour including weapons and military contractors arrive in libya despite international arms and more growing calls for deescalation. us culture on a plate the pottery style that's receiving international recognition. and sporting bucks bounce back against the knicks and action from the n.b.a. coming up a little later. iran says it will no longer share information with ukraine on the investigation into last month's plane crash after recordings of air traffic control conversations were leaked an official from the iranian civil aviation authority says a recording given to ukrainian experts was published by media there appears to detail exchanges between the control tower and tehran in the pilot of another plane flying in the area when that ukrainian jet was shot down until now teams from both countries were cooperate in an investigation of this crash that killed 176 people us a big is in tehran so i said this this audio this is the 1st hearing about it what else do we know about this audio. well it's a conversation between air traffic control and a domestic airline us the man. in iran and the flight was on its way from shiraz which is just over 1000 kilometers away from the conversation between the pilot and air traffic control is very interesting the pilot contacts air traffic control and asked if there's any activity in a certain region because he's seen a light that looks like a light of a missile in the air traffic control off for more details the pilot then again responds off see the light it's a light of a misfire he says then the air traffic control says they've had no reports of any incidents but also the pilots stay on line then we hear air traffic control contact the ukrainian airline and he contacts them 9 times and at one point raises his voice trying to get in touch with them he then goes of back to the domestic airline pilot and says have you seen anything and says yes we have seen a big explosion and asked us if it's ok to continue traffic control says yes we've had no reports of any incidents now this puts the reigning government in a very difficult position because the narrative coming out of the front has been that it was the revolutionary guard that shut down the aircraft with a missile and it took them 3 days to investigate and then inform the government but this conversation between air traffic control and this domestic airline pilot shows that someone within the civil aviation authority must have known and if they didn't know why wasn't the government informed or if the civil aviation authority heads didn't know why was that information fed up the chain of command so it puts the ring in government in a very difficult position because they've put out a narrative that they didn't know that the government didn't know it was the military that knew and it took them 3 days to come out with the information but this ordeal says otherwise so said what now on the diplomatic fallout between iran and the crane who it seems that the investigation would benefit from them working together. well we've had an official from the civil aviation authority here house and rice speaking and he said that he surprised at the need that this information is part of investing information given to a special investigation which the ukraine is a part of he said that he's been surprises and taken aback but this is prompted iran to say that they will not be sharing any more information with the ukrainians but there's no ukrainian investigations in iran in one fact there's no investigators from any other country in iran at the moment so it could be that iran's already handed over everything but this has the iranians iranians also say that the conversations between air traffic control and pilots' likes treated a secret documents and shouldn't be released with that the country of origin being informed 1st so this has upset them very much so not only because that this information has been decreed that anyone telling them but also domestically and politically it puts them in a difficult position that this comes days after the ukrainian president told reporters that iran has offered $80000.00 for those families that died in that ukrainian airline crash that the earring is put down with a missile something that ukraine has rejected they think that the office should be higher but iran didn't want to discuss that but this is the 1st time that leaks have happened in this conversation so in this incident but this particular one has really upset the iranians and they don't want to cooperate with the ukrainians anymore as a bank and tehran said thank you airport in yemen's capital saana has partially reopened and to allow humanitarian flights out of the country it's been closed to commercial planes since 2016 united nations is expected to supervise the patient transfers and flights although the who the rebels control son of the coalition they are fighting controls the air
