Which it was in the National Health commission is very concerned about this with issue technical guidelines for the prevention and control of corona virus infections within medical institutions and weve given a special notice on virus control for key areas and the fever departments of the hospitals through these documents we have imposed special requirements on hudson the personal protection of medical workers. Meanwhile 218 people on board a cruise. In japan have been in. A ship in japan have been infected with the virus making it the largest cluster of confirmed cases outside of china but 11 vulnerable passengers have been allowed to get off the ship and complete their corn gene on land in vietnam 10000 people from villages northwest of the capitol hill noid continue to be isolated 11 people there have been infected bringing the total number of cases in the country to 16 the chinese city of one has been under lockdown for 3 weeks now says it was identified as a source of the outbreak millions have been ordered to stay at home as the government tries to stop the spread of the virus journalists also restricted from traveling there but al jazeera obtained exclusive pictures from one of the residents trapped katrina you has our report from beijing. Empty streets and an increasingly empty fridge there are plenty of vegetables but not much meat for the one familys next meal during the coronavirus lockdown speaking via video call from who pay one should told us his family was doing its best not to panic when we go home with this infection all over our bodies so we go out we wear masks we dont know if we go out we come back with a virus stargirl clothes so we do see in fact every day he lives in ching mn a city neighboring will hunt the epicenter of the Virus Outbreak for 3 weeks the familys been ordered to stay indoors movement is increasingly restricted once every 3 days one Family Members allow to leave the house to pick up groceries supplies and a limited shop to stand in lines one meter apart waiting to enter. Its been almost a month since one saw his daughters who are staying with relatives in southeast china. Does it i feel relieved that my wife and daughters are not me who by now we chat online every day theyre doing ok just worry about me the vast majority of confirmed coronavirus cases will than 50000 are in a province. Patients have been sharing videos and social media of life inside makeshift hospitals and quarantine sentence at least 1700 medical staff are among the infected. Elsewhere in china people taking any chances. Want shin hopes leaders will learn their lesson from the outbreak. At the beginning nobody paid enough attention everyone so it was under control until it was too late. And looks forward to life under lockdown coming to an end katrina aljazeera beijing well it sounds speak to dr mohamed more near has a viral a just that lanka say diversity joins us live from there thank you very much dr money for being with us i want to start off by looking at the big picture they are around 65000. 00 coronaviruses coronavirus cases around the world but the bulk of them 64000. 00 and a bit more are at the epicenter and hope a province what does that tell us for us about how the outbreak has evolved and how it where its headed. Well if we just look on to how the virus has started and from it started to spread or globally i think the majority of the cases those been our own the word they are directly or indirectly associated with the law and order who bear prevents because probably that was the reason that the majority of the efforts were really to contain and to isolate and to lock down the people in that province and since the application of those approaches though what are the number of cases that we see. Are in their own the word start to decline and all those cases that appear off to or were through indirect routes through light from singapore or from other countries where infected people have transmitted the virus so it appear that the control of your that was put in place they started to work and therefore know what our impact is decreasing day by day but the w. H. O. The World Health Organization has criticized as some has criticized some of the measures saying for instance that you know borders should be closed and so on all the restrictions being placed on who are not effective in containing the outbreak. Well if we really look on to the impact of those restrictions those are pretty fruitful however as we have seen the number of cases are not declining within china so this also indicates that there are still a pressure on to the to the government authorities to really take a little more cautionary. You know scenario to were controlling the infection within within the vulnerable population so there are still a lot to be done to really claim that all d the control milieu of that needed to be put in place or being placed because until we start significant decline in the number of cases we call and really say that all those are really up to the mark so far the number of cases has declined but most people who have been sick seem to be recovering on their own so i mean what does this say about just how lethal this virus is is it as lethal as its being made out to be. One thing is pretty clear that if we compare this call the 19 of it was back in 2003 this why this appears to be less lethal is killing less people compared to the virus but it is infectious at the same time so the number of cases that we have seen this within one and a half month is over 60000. 00 compared to the sorts grown a lot is a bit rich as only 8000 patients in one and a half a year so overall this wires appear to be very infectious is contagious is transmitted between the communities affected really luckily this appeared to be less lethal to overall impact on to the mortality is relatively low dr mohamed money thank you very much for talking to us on knowledge is there. Now in cambodia it was all smiles as passengers disembarked from a cruise ship that had been turned away by 4 asian governments because a fears of the coronavirus there no confirmed cases among the more than 2000 people on board the westerdam when harry for some santa vale port where the ship is stopped. There was celebration and relief as passengers finally received word they were allowed to begin disembarking from the west a dam a ceremonial welcome in cambodia marks the end of a 2 week journey around asia as port up to port rejected the ships request to dock you know the ship was very very safe the crew were spare untasted we had a very good time considering the circumstances everything was very nice its nice to be able to get home feels very good but my remote say on the ship was fairly well the food was well at the table to us well so we didnt suffer at all and we knew it was no illness at book. Cambodias Prime Minister who flew in for the occasion hes consistently downplayed concerns about coronavirus and did so again on the dock in sihanoukville when other government said no to the ship he said yes and he wasnt about to let this opportunity slip by. People aust if there are people on the ship that have coronavirus would allow them to dock i can respond very clearly that if there are people with the virus on the ship i would allow them to dock as soon as possible but there were no confirmed cases on board blood tests taken from 20 passengers who were unwell when the ship arrived in cambodian waters on thursday tested negative these are among the 1st passengers to disembark and sit force on land for the 1st time in 2 weeks the whole process of getting everybody off the ship is expected to take around 3 days so for many on board the frustrating waits will continue. The plight of the westerdam was another blow to the cruise ship industry which is being hit hard by coronavirus its own a carnival is the largest cruise operator in the world and says its share price may tumble this year by more than a half because of cancellations it also earns the diamond princess which is docked in new york a hummer japan with thousands quarantined on board and many confirmed infections among passengers and. Crew experts say the potential for transmission of the virus on a ship is high so the not surprised the industry is suffering so if you are in a confined environment like in a cruise ship or in a train then if you are exposed to like you know within the family or with your next to the cabin of the infected person then you can get infected for those on the wish to damn a bizarre cruise around asia is over ending with a welcome and a farewell in cambodia theyll never forget when hey al jazeera sent a fill. In other world news in syria rebels say theyve shot down a government helicopter in the north west seoul 4 crew members have reportedly been killed Government Forces have been trying to retake the countrys last rebel held territory in the province only of friday Syrian State Television said several missiles had been fired over damascus they reportedly flew from the southwest over the Israeli OccupiedGolan Heights lets bring in hashem forests whos monitoring rather situation for us from the turkey syria border 1st what do we know about this helicopter incidents that the rebels are claiming to have brought on. 40 the helicopter was part of a ongoing military operation to take over areas of the northwestern askers of the fighting has intensified earlier today by midday the the helicopter was shot down now were getting do conflicting reports about exactly what happened the rebels say that the managed to don the helicopter sources affiliated with the Syrian Government quoting the syrian the russian army based here say that the helicopter was downed by a Turkish Military outpost in it live and this is a major setback for the syrian army because helicopters were crucial in the push that started about a few weeks ago by the Syrian Government to take over areas in the northwestern southern parts of aleppo and also parts of live from i think the Syrian Government is going to take into consideration all those recent developments before committing helicopters and fighter jets into those areas as syrian Government Forces fights hashim to retake. Area. Etc billions of course are once again bearing the brunt of this all just how bad is the situation on the ground for them county. Tragic situation as many activists on the ground in many refugee camps have been telling us over the last few days and also 2 days in in many places. On the border with turkey its a very delicate situation were talking about the u. N. Estimates that more than 100 of 140000 internally displaced moved to the border area with turkey over the last 4 days bringing in the number of the refugees in those areas to almost 1000000 refugees because since the start of the syrian armys offensive to take over. Those people fawley have left their homes were forced out of their villages living in tents its observed. Temperature they have no blankets they have the bare minimum to survive and they are pretty much concerned that if the situation continues that could lead to more fatalities in the coming days and were asking the International Community to step in and help the problem as you see on the ground folly is with the space in violence in syria now particularly around it it is going to be extremely difficult for humanitarian aid agencies to redeploy in those areas and provide help to those people who are facing cold overcrowding disease and also. Strikes by the Syrian Government are very desperate situation indeed for those civilians thank you hashem for bringing us the latest there on the conflict in syria from the tech a syrian border. Plenty more ahead on this news hour including digging for the cho families of mexicos drug war victims accuse the government of failing them in the safe for their loved ones. Protesters take to the streets in algeria promising even bigger demonstrations to mark the one Year Anniversary of their antigovernment. And tiger woods is back on the course where he feels most at home as he tries to creature record breaking weight on the of the t. T. C. To express. The i am. Now more than 35. 00 World Leaders have joined hundreds of politicians and diplomats and germany for this years Munich Security Conference the 3 day summit is one of the worlds top gatherings focused on security and Foreign Policy issues on diplomatic editor james spaces covering the summit forests from munich joins us now live so whats on the agenda this year. Well its whats on the agenda and also what is discussed when all of these important people all of these senior politicians diplomats from around the world are in the same place at the same time but lets talk about the agenda 1st and discuss it with me is dan smith hes the boss of set free the european think tank west of the snus is what theyve come up with as the theme for this years security conference no i know youre not the boss of this conference but tell me what you think that means well i think its got 2 angles caught up in the pun restless west so the 1st one is theres a lot of discomfort the Munich Security Conference obviously theres a quite diverse participation but at its core is what you could call the your Atlantic Security community these are the sort of the traditionalists of european and indeed u. S. Politics who believe in transatlantic solidarity and transatlantic cooperation and frankly since President Trump has come in since hes been elected theres been increasing worries about that corporation about that solidarity really being able to continue and at the same time youve got the fractiousness within europe itself you have breaks it you have the rise of more populist nationalist leaders you have complete uncertainty now about who will follow angular machall is the chancellor of germany so theres all of this discomfort caught up in restlessness so that then west lessness is the west actually losing its influence and its power not necessarily as hard power as a military force it remains to be reckoned with but its soft power its influence its ability to persuade to win arguments before theyre even had that seems to be deteriorating and thats also one of the wire is behind this and with this backdrop you obviously have efforts to try and sell solve some of the worlds leading conflicts this is going to. Clearly make it worse and i think weve seen it getting worse in recent years with the war in syria the war in yemen lets talk about some of the areas where there may be discussions among those that are attending here where perhaps they could be praised progress when ashraf ghani the president of afghanistan is here as are the american secretary of state defense secretary s. But those conversations will be interesting because it looks like the u. S. Is getting closer again potentially to a deal with the taliban yes and i mean one of the sore points in this for the Afghan Government is that the taliban refuses to negotiate with the government of president bush afghani so there is a in a way they are spectators to a process which is going to define their future and that has not been so far as im aware a great deal of coordination between the u. S. Administration and they the Afghan Government i think the afghan president has spoken quite openly about their fears of essentially being just thrown off the train as a peace train departs from the station i think theyre very worried about that so these talks will be extremely important now the other issue where perhaps there could be progress but only anyones holding out too much hope is libya it was almost 4 weeks ago that World Leaders came together in berlin with a new plan for libya a cease fire and then the idea of talks among all the libyan parties and after that big meeting in berlin it seems those who were actually supplying arms to the various sides completely ignored what was said now in the margins of this conference we believe on sunday theyre going to have another ministerial meeting to try and get everyone on the same page do you have any hopes that will work well you know one always has hopes that it will work but the odds i think are not very favorable at the moment on the one hand you have the u. N. That government in tripoli on the other hand you have general after in his forces more to the in the east of the country and theyre backed by by turkey and by other external forces who are there for all this with their allies both within the u. N. But also turkey at odds with nato allies over this so if we go back to the agenda if we go back to restlessness and west listeners are actually unfortunately the the libya negotiations the libya prospects are a really vivid demonstration of what the problems thank you very much for that as a say folly the libya part of this is not actually happening in the main conference but on the sidelines taking place on the sunday ministers trying to get everyone back on the same page and then things move to geneva next week where representatives of the 2 sides the tripoli jna government and general have to his delegation of 5 plus 5 military Commission Meets again to try and work out the details of a cease fire in geneva james thank you for that james diplomatic editor live there from munich.
