Hello china is reporting a significant drop in the number of new coronavirus cases thats after medical authorities reverted back to a less comprehensive method of testing so beijing has been taking a series of drastic steps in recent weeks to fight covert 19 which has killed over 2100 people right across the country now there were only 394 confirmed cases on wednesday down from nearly 1700 the day before 114 people have died in the past 24 hours the middle east has experienced its 1st casualties 2 elderly people have died in irans coal province. And schools in universities have been closed on thursday to stop further spread of the disease south korea reported 31 new cases bringing the total number of infections to 82 and hong kong residents who were on board the japanese cruise ship diamond princess have now returned home after the korean scene was lifted on wednesday 2 people have died in that passenger liner lets get more from katrina you shes joining us from beijing what more authorities saying about the drop in the new number of new cases in china a katrina. Yes just a few hours ago the cases were about about 75000 and now were seeing its about 56000 and the reason that were being given is that they are no longer adding clinically diagnosed patients to the list of people with confirmed cases of corona virus so last week we saw this massive jump about 20000 people added to this list in a matter of days simply because they said they were expanding the diagnostic criteria theyre allowing doctors more discretion in diagnosing cases not using this one specific are in a kind of test but they could diagnose cases with c. T. Scans and lung x. Rays and things like that so now it seems that theyve returned to using this one type of test this r. N. A. Or the nucleic acid test as the only means of confirming a krone virus case and what were hearing is one of the reasons that theyve done that is because when they added to these numbers what they did by doing so was that they were pushing down the mortality rate so they would sort of worried about giving people a false impression about how serious or how not serious this disease is so now weve seen the numbers drop significantly. The government says that they are on a general downward trend because aside from that change in the number weve also seen a change in the amount of new cases announced in the last 24 hours theres only been about 400 and i say only because this is the 1st time weve seen a number below 1000 and also the number of new cured cases seems to be surpassing there seems to be a trend of these new cases of people who are confirmed to have been cured from the krona virus free of the corona virus that seems to be surpassing these new cases but we have to also look at these fatality rates and that is remaining steady weve had more than 110. 00 fatalities in the last 24 hours including weve just been hearing 2 elderly passengers from the diamond princess cruise ship which is docked docked in yokohama have. Also lost their lives in addition to the 2 in iran so definitely this is not a time for china or countries around the world to put down their guard and certainly in south korea there is been new alarm about the amount of cases there are 31. 00 cases in the last 24 hours have been announced in south korea specific lee in the city of they go which is a city of up about 2400000 people and theyre saying that in this city there seems to be a cluster of cases a concentrated around this one church and south korea has a total of 80 cases now so theyre going to discuss whether theyre going to raise their let levels in south korea from the 2nd highest alert level to the highest alert level certainly a lot of people are calling for a socalled paradigm shift in the way the government in south korea are addressing the outbreak there alright so its really using 2 for that update from beijing.

From the talks in geneva and he says he wont return to the negotiations until the world firmly responds to what he calls health or surveillance. Tripoli. While the uns libya envoy has been trying to convince representatives of the internationally recognized government to stay and resume cease fire negotiations our diplomatic editor is there. The un has been talking all day to those representatives from the g. A. O. We believe got some salami the u. N. Envoy has been chatting to them has been meeting but also talking to their bosses Prime Minister<\/a>s iraj and others in tripoli to try and keep them engaged in this process remember that we have the u. N. Security Council Resolution<\/a> at the end of last week we had a meeting in munich which had 13 Foreign Ministers<\/a> representing all the Key Stakeholders<\/a> in 2 in the International Community<\/a> including the key supporters of the g. M. s a and of general hafta and all agree there should be these talks taking place and despite that weve seen the same thing that happened back in april last year general haftar going ahead with his military action and basically destroying the peace efforts everyone has said publicly theyre committed to the u. N. Process but clearly some of the countries supporting general haftar gave him the green light in april to march on tripoli and try and take the capital and since then general have to supporters have been sending in of memes to his forces planes have been coming in from the United Arab Emirates<\/a> weapons of be coming over the border from egypt and theres been support from other countries as well. A battle over control of the Worlds Largest<\/a> aid operation is putting millions of yemenis at risk thats according to the Associated Press<\/a> wood says the rebels have blocked off of the uns aid programs while pushing for a sheriff humanitarian funds for months of who these allegedly demanded a 2 percent cut from aid budgets amounting to between 60. 00 and 80000000. 00 a year but aid agencies rejected the demand leaving nearly 300000. 00 mothers and children under the age of 5 without nutrition supplements for over 6 months a. P. Says of these 2000000 people have been affected by the delays 10000000 people in yemen are on the brink of famine and 80 percent of the population needs aids but the law is a middle east analyst and editor of the arab digest he says the these are quote winning the battle over aid in yemen. These have been very successful in how they have used the situation used aid really as a weapon they have withheld aid they have been prepared to allow their own people to do star they have seen situations where children are dying as you mentioned with rolling nutrients from women pregnant women and expectant mothers and children under the age of 5 so they have been very ruthless and how they have played the aid game and of course the u. N. And all of these supporting aid agencies are faced with this almost impossible choice because their duties are saying you give us more access give us more control or we will simply let these people die and its a very harsh and awful approach but very much a useful tool for the who g. s and as i said in the front the humanitarian war front they are winning this battle aid organizations are faced with this really impossible choice and the who these are are playing a very very tough game and in a in a sense calling the bluff of these organizations what are they going to do they have said that they would recalibrate indeed they might lure them out of it theyre going to put into yemen who these are not pushed back on that they pushed back on that very strongly and said you know what we dont we dont really care well tennis is Prime Minister<\/a> has named a new coalition government. To deal with that and not the party the largest and soon as he has parliament and brings it to an end the ongoing political crisis thats lasted for 4 months the proposed government is likely to win a confidence vote in parliament in the coming days avoiding an early election. At least 8 people have been killed in 2 shootings in germany they happened a short time apart and she shot bars in the western city of her now thats near frankfurts police are now looking for the suspects who fled this scene in a car and according to a local newspaper one person has been detained the u. S. Justice department has refuted reports that its really general william barr is considering resigning over president Donald Trumps<\/a> tweets barr recently called on trying to stop tweeting about criminal cases but the president s comments particularly those about the trial and sentencing of former advisor roger stone have only intensified more than 2000 former Department Officials<\/a> have now signed an open letter calling for a. How to on the controversy surrounding the Justice Department<\/a> from washington. Roger stone a very close confidant of the president hes going to be sentenced in about 24 hours time so the but is the president going to be able to not tweet well he hasnt shown the ability to do that in his entire presidency but this is pretty classic washington if bill barr what it does is hes under intense pressure within the Justice Department<\/a> and from outside the Justice Department<\/a> there was a letter with a 2000 former d. O. J. And department of justice employees that said that he needed to step down there were members of congress has talked about started impeachment proceedings he does have republican backing but he took the unusual step of coming out and criticizing the president s tweet habits on television what was more unusual as we saw the president didnt fire back at him really he kept tweeting but the president facing any criticism his normal m. O. Is to lash out at that person he didnt do that but he didnt stop either so now we see this selective leak to the Washington Post<\/a> saying that barr might step away that could be a trigger for President Trump<\/a> he has said repeatedly that he thinks that this attorney generals job is to protect him personally and politically not this is really to be the top Law Enforcement<\/a> officer for the country because President Trump<\/a> actually said hes the top Law Enforcement<\/a> per officer in the country which hes not by habit or tradition. But he has said that he needs somebody to protect him in that world bar has gone a long way to do that so why is that enough to get the president from tweeting well well probably find out pretty soon. Business groups in canada are demanding the government and demonstrations that have paralyzed the countrys rail network they estimate the disruption is costing the countrys economy billions of dollars the protesters oppose the building of the coastal gas pipeline apostles through the lands often degenerates people known as 1st nations in canada are reports from toronto.
