We mentioned iran as well which has had the largest number of deaths from the virus outside of china our correspondent there is still such a bari with more on how thorough fees are responding. The number is of course significant because they are worried that the containment process is really something that they need to address as quickly as possible the outbreak started in the holy city of home which is about 120 kilometers south of the capital tehran officials believe that a chinese worker construction worker was the source of the outbreak in that city you know they have since closed schools and universities not only but in about 2 thirds of the cities across the country in the capital and all the major events have been canceled including the governments Foreign Ministry briefing that was to be held on monday and we also understand the terror on university dormitories have been evacuated as well the Health Minister has also said that the masks and this in fact and will no longer be sold in pharmacies because the government will be hanged handing them out in public metro stations as well as buses across the citys japan now which is confirmed the 3rd death all the passenger who was on that cruise ship which is corn train for 2 weeks earlier japans Health Minister apologized after another passenger tested positive for corona virus after she was allowed to go home in fact 23. 00 passengers were eventually allowed to disembark without being tested for the virus around 80 percent of the 770. 00 infection cases in japan were on that ship earlier i spoke to mohammed money or his a lecturer of Lancaster University in the u. K. Explain what options are actually available to help beat this virus. There are really only 3 ways by which we have prevented such infections in the past 1st is that people have a genetic to sisters against these infections 2nd is that we have a very good vaccine that can be applied to control this infection well the told is that people change the behavior so changing behavior is the only option at this moment because the 1st 2 options are not available yet in this looking face off the outbreak so any leaking has in changing behavior is the major reason that the widest would suppress from one country to another struck in from one percent when other person by changing behavior specifically i mean is that in this Current Situation the main factor that can either help to prevent the infection or facilitate further suppression is the personal who is infected or who who who is well known at all so the person who are well neighbor or in fact it or likely having contact with them they all are having to moderate responsibility to maintain a high level of personal hygiene and also to keep in contact with the Public Health authorities that any suspected cases are reported in a timely manner so when the time of the matter pours are they are we will have a possibility to intervene but the trust mission pattern of this infection for one person to another person and i can explain in a few. d simple ways how we really are kept can protect from the sort of spread of this infection personal hygiene is at the top most pretty oddity so everyone should be avare that they have to sneeze into bed and elbowed a white contact and discourage the public gathering and quite you know get into places where there are possibility for the trust mission that is a priority however that there are National Responsibilities and then the interNational ResponsibilitiesNational Responsibilities have been that really veeck especially in this situation when people who are of year china has given a lot of information early time point but many countries still been really poor and been really putting those efforts and to controlling it in. Place and that is really no the major reason that the why does is encourage sing enter and really american into the countries where it hasnt been before and then there are International ResponsibilityInternational Responsibility by that i mean that we were actually and other Health Control authorities theyve been proactive in the beginning but really they came up with all of the probably you know of the sport in a really slow manner and still there are a lot lot of question onto what really is the Public Health doing Public Health emergency for example is really putting in place for the countries especially the pinnacle i mean they would be at the same level to cut in kenya and to screen and to put all those controlled 1000000 in place because china is the center of the sound break in the chinese president xi jinping says the situation does remain serious and complex that leaders are now debating whether to cancel next months annual Parliament Session to concentrate on fighting the virus support for major brom. The National Peoples congress is chinas biggest political event of the year drawing almost 3000. 00 delegates from across china. One of the few occasions when all of chinas leadership is on show but the governments own advice is for people to avoid large public gatherings that means this years n. P. C. Is almost certain to be postponed possibly delaying a key announcement on Economic Growth targets chinas president xi jinping says that getting the economy moving again while containing the spread of the virus remains his priority he has to tell the Chinese People something you can choose total blackness or you can choose a sort of veneer of transparency what we dont know as with all governments is whats happening behind closed doors over sorts of things and more importantly for transparency what we dont know is that whats coming out in the media is something we can necessarily trust ryan manual is an expert in chinas Public Health system he says the governments initial response to the outbreak in early january was correct it reacted very quickly it found out what the virus was test for the virus and in that period 2 weeks afterwards it reacted appalling. This past week chinese diplomats have been on the offensive defending the expulsion of 3 foreign reporters and brushing aside international skepticism over the constant changes to chinas testing criteria for the virus but that criticism has been very selective says one analyst they show at us and saying that us making the virus worse and is discriminatory against china but when nowadays russia made. Our decision to close the border for all the chinese nationals to say a word its not just the National Peoples congress thats now in doubt so too is a key economic conference known as the bow echo. Forum also held each year in march if the National Peoples congress is cancelled then analysts say theres one thing guaranteed to be missing from the agenda when it does eventually convene a call to hold chinas leaders to account for this crisis adrian brown aljazeera hong kong were moving on to other news in iran has announced its lowest voter turnout since the 979 Islamic Revolution that about 43 percent of people voting in front is parliamentary elections the hard line conservatives are set to dominate they won all of 1030 seats on a result still coming in from elsewhere thing is voters did have limited options with thousands of moderates and reformists disqualified from running irans interior minister those as the turnout was adequate given what the countrys been facing mother shadow. We held these elections when there were several incidents in the country we had bad weather there was this coronavirus disease there was the plane crash also the events of january and november in such a situation the turnout right seems perfectly acceptable for us all from our correspondent us had begun to run. Well this is very embarrassing for the establishment voter turnout is around 42 percent in the last election it was 61 percent hare in teheran where i am 25 percent in the last election it was around 50 percent now this is one of the most conservative parliaments this country has ever seen takes place when the turnout is the lowest since establishment of the Islamic Revolution now we need just to give you an idea of how low the turnout was in the last election here is the around there were 30 seats up for grabs all of them were won by reformists moderates candidates every single one got over 1000000 votes this time around all 30 seats were taken by conservatives and only one of them the former mayor got over 1000000 votes now we knew this election will be controversial because the Guardian Council the body that vets candidates disqualified over 5000 candidates including 81. 00 current sitting m. P. s but despite the Supreme Leader coming out and president hasnt romney coming back encouraging people to vote they just didnt come out and vote and its a very very low turnout its very embarrassing the Supreme Leader spoke this morning and hes blamed western propaganda that try to deter people from voting but this also puts president Hassan Rouhani in a very difficult position he presides over a conservative palm and a politically opposed to him to have been politically critical of him and the 2015 nuclear deal and many people see him as a sitting president because the president ial elections are next year and he just doesnt have a majority out of the 290 seats around over 201 by conservatives and hes reformist moderate allies only have around 20 seats now lets not forget the position of the economy here inflation has been very high unemployment is high and also the economy is suffering under sanctions so it does put him in a very difficult position and also theres a lack of trust and confidence in the gulf. And the political establishment because of the low voter turnout so it is so despite the sea of support that we saw after the assassination of gen dostum so the minute the hundreds of thousands of people that came out onto the streets that just didnt transfer into people coming out and taking to the polls the 2nd largest quake has struck the turkey iran border region the magnitude 6 quake hit late on sunday following a magnitude 5. 7 earthquake in turkey is van province earlier in the day that killed at least 9 people several of believed to be trapped under the rubble and dozens are injured on the iranian side as well.
