Some countries have stepped up measures including quarantine measures which are reasonable and understandable but some countries have overreacted and which has triggered an unnecessary panic charge or this go live now to sarah clarke our correspondent in hong kong and sara i can imagine that beijing will be with Something Like i dont know 11000000 residents must be reeling from these new restrictions that have been put in place by the Chinese Government. Recently this is the Chinese New Year holiday break its come to an end and this is why beijing is clear china has put in place is pointing restrictions all those people the residents for turning to beijing must go into this 14 day so far selection or quarantine time for at least 14 days have also set up some designated areas in beijing to cater for the huge numbers of people returning after this annual a chinese he holiday break which is of course was extended after the credit Virus Outbreak was felt was 1st reported and that we also mentioned the drop the number of the drop in infection writes within touch of the think it because its accurate its clearly a very good sign to the foreign minister in beijing whos done this interview as well hes defended chinas handling of the i said it the handing of the helpful to the trying to confinement of the corona Virus Outbreak hes described as timely affective and strong he said that the into Agency Task Force is set up and theyve done vigorous assessments but certainly a big move on behalf of china put into place these quarantine or isolation areas for the people the residents returning to beijing after the Chinese New Year holiday break and i must correct myself im looking now and seeing that the population of beijing is is twice what i said its more like 21 and a half 1000000 anyway where you are in hong kong theres a certain amount of disquiet thats building over the over the administrations plans to put in corona testing centers. Its look weve got a number of coronavirus treatment clinics that are being put in place over coming weeks this was a decision by the government its created a lot of anger in the community where one of the locations where there are protests planned across hong kong on saturday afternoon there are 5 protests planned and theyre angry about what they say is a lack of Public Consultation theyre also angry about the location of these particular clinics in an area where we are which is its in quite a populated zone and of course in recent weeks weve had protests one area a Quarantine Zone in family which is further west. Further west from where we are and we had that particular Quarantine Zone it was firebombed by protesters so the certainly a lot of anger within the community at the Hospital Party says that these particular treatment clinics are being set up to try and ease the pressure on the hospitals that are trying to deal with the increasing number of infections and the workload that these hospitals are having to deal with as a result but certainly protests on saturday and more protests on sunday in hong kong sarah clarke live in hong kong thank you there is a deal that lasts only a week but u. S. Officials say it is a success it could lead to the withdrawal of its troops from afghanistan the taliban and american negotiators have agreed to a proposal for over duction the violence in the country the announcement is the result of ongoing peace talks in qatar a senior u. S. Official says if this deal holds it could be followed by a more permanent to call but the u. N. Secretary general spokesman has welcomed the agreement. If this were to succeed it would obviously be a notable step in bringing peace to the country. And the dialogue is a vital pe is of is vital to paving forward the constructive intra afghan negotiations on peace i think its very important. To find ways to reduce the levels of violence in afghanistan is specially the violence that is harming civilians well our correspondent you have written on the is in washington d. C. And they explain how this u. S. Taliban deal could possibly work. Its a 3 stage process we have the 7 day reduction of violence there is an element here that there is an acceptable level of violence to will be allowed but from what we can understand the taliban have specific prohibitions they the roadside bombs. Rocket attacks no suicide attacks however the u. S. Is still allowed to carry on what it calls Counterterrorism Operations whatever that might be one of the questions we have and there is no understanding that the taliban doesnt control all the factions in afghanistan so they may be you still violence in afghanistan but there will be a channel of communication between the u. S. And the taliban so that if there is an incident then the taliban the u. S. Can question each other as well what was that what happened here what were the reasons behind it was that you. Seem to be very conscious about the possibility of false flag operations that might be designed to try and scope of the deal after that 7 day period of everyone is satisfied that the taliban will pledge that it wont support any what are called terrorist attacks on the u. S. And its allies and the u. S. Will put in place its phased withdrawal from afghanistan that then leads to direct talks between the Afghan Government who by the way had nothing to do with all these talks and the taliban and then hopefully to a lasting peace deal however clearly still lots lots of questions here what is acceptable violence what it what a Counterterrorism Operations for that matter how why and when was this will going to stop the u. S. Say its going to start really soon c. B. S. Going to tell about a source apparently to say that theyre expecting the 1st stage in february 22nd the 2nd stage fabry 29th a week later and then the peace talks to begin march the 10th but many questions before rolling out there will occur in munich on saturday morning local time.
