2:03 pm
there's really a lot of questions around the and they really don't know the answers yet so that is really kind of the frightening factor growing frightening factor to this coronavirus and one way they want to try to curb it from spreading further is the clamp down on transportation systems in the cities in the provinces. yet more measures to curb the spread of the corona virus outbreak everyone entering the beijing subway system is checked for symptoms and subway cars are disinfected every hour still concerned about infection some head out any way they try i'm really afraid that the virus might infect me or my family members i'm supposed to go back to work in a few days and my son will go back to school soon well there's no more maybe i need to go to work or i have no other choice if i do need to work i will definitely stay at home keep wearing the mosque and keep washing the hands this is one of several long distance bus stations here in the capital beijing they're all closed now that's because the government is concerned because the bus system is less regulated
2:04 pm

2:05 pm
more supplies and staff. the united states and france has worked out a deal with the chinese government here to help a vacuum wait their citizens and diplomats in han. south korea and japan are working with the government here on that and probably will take place over the coming days as a serious count hyla reporting live from beijing scope many thanks indeed will health authorities in hong kong have provided an update on the situation there a day after emergency measures were declared in the city which is here as adrian brown has an updated tally of cases. but the number of suspected cases has now gone up by 77 taking it to more than 380 suspected cases and the number of confirmed cases have risen from 5 to 6 also another confirmed case in macau taking the total there to 3 the hospital 30 also say they are readying another quarantine center turning a former holiday camp into
2:06 pm
a quarantine center and we've also heard from a microbiologist who was talking yesterday he says that he believes there are number of undetected cases in hong kong now some experts are now warning the incubation period for this virus could be up to 14 days so it's possible that somebody who was in will hand 2 weeks ago is now in hong kong and could have the virus now in response to the spreading virus the hong kong authorities have announced that a number of big tourist attractions in hong kong are going to close for the forseeable future that includes the ocean park theme park and also the big disney theme park that attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year just a few days of course disney announced that they will be shutting their theme park in shanghai also for the forseeable future it all has echoes of course of the sars epidemic from 20022003 in which 800 people died so 17 years
2:07 pm
on what lessons have been learned research is a johns hopkins university in the u.s. a math in the spread of the virus the bright orange dots here show the areas in china where cases have been confirmed the majority of those are in a province where the 1st outbreak that's reported millions of people in china now face travel restrictions and around the world that been confirmed cases in several countries. running battles a broken arm for a 2nd consecutive day in iraq as security forces fired tear gas and live bullets to try to clear anti-government protests the current town began on saturday shortly after influential shiite cleric. withdrew his support for the demonstrations let's go live now to baghdad our correspondent in rome con is there what's the mood among protesters right now. we're hearing tucker is where major and it's
2:08 pm
relatively notable well the goal is again be square you can see there are a large number of people slightly larger crowd the we have seen in the last few days now what's happening here is that the government are trying to open up a lot of the bridges that have been closed for months now in central baghdad what they doing is in what the square which is about 3. about perhaps about 4 kilometers away from that have been clashes as security forces have fired tear gas into crowds of hundreds of protesters wearing at least 13 people have suffered from the effects of take gas in that area what's happening really is this sort of cats and mouse game between the protesters and security forces they go from here and they go to and they make their protest and the police try and beat them but the idea what the security forces are trying to do is contain everybody in tact great square trying to open up all of the bridges and all of the roads that are being shot in central
2:09 pm
baghdad now they've had some success doing that a number of bridges are actually open the moment but like i say the protesters are determined and so they keep going from here to other places where we're saying those clashes take place you say iran that they're determining how long can they keep this up. well this is the really interesting question. is one of the most influential shia muslim clerics in the country has the largest political bloc what he did. was remove all of his supporters from the protest but he had a number of tents just almost that they've all gone that's worried a lot of the protesters because what they say is that will temporal saddam and his supporters gave them a little influence and it also gave them physical protection from security forces coming in it's hackery square now the reason he's with his protests is he says that a lot of the protest movement isn't behind his anti u.s. agenda he has a very clear agenda he wants to get rid of all of the u.s.
2:10 pm
troops plus the diplomatic presence from iraq now he says the protesters are backing out and that's why he's withdrawn now the other protesters say actually we don't need him we have a very clear agenda we want a change of prime minister we also want a new elections and let's have all said it wasn't supporting that so there's a number of different viewpoints how long the protests we've been here will last main street scene but we are hearing that there may well be a slight change of strategy from the protesters to try and separate themselves away from. other leaders like that and concentrate on that the bonds which some fall haven't been met and let's not forget this has been going on now since 00. 0 as him on calm reporting live from baghdad in rome many thanks due to finding us flared up again in libya despite a recent surge of diplomatic activity there were talks in berlin and algiers last week to try to end the conflict but rockets fired towards tripoli international

2:14 pm
a lot from that but there's the cloud needs just about left china and the rain is now falling in japan but what fell in china leaving a dry legacy was twice what you might expect in january this is the normal picture this is a little bit abnormal it's true therefore for south korea and japan the temperature soccer here is 8 degrees in tokyo 60 bones a bit below the average the rain though is excessive in any regard but if you move it over when you move it up as august only gets warmer 13 degrees is well above where it should be so temp is wrong here compared the average and the rain is excessive however once that's gone we leave behind a rather more typical picture in shanghai about 700 home car on the cold side but the sunnies act similarly you would expect very much in the way of rain in india and you don't get much except again in the north in pakistan and northern india that rain will turn eventually into snow there are very few showers in what was the
2:15 pm
northeast monsoon which is now curling back and giving showers up in this northeastern part of india an unusual sight again but not quite so unusual as happens in china we have got the strong very narrow. stories just sounds so headline the media angles in this story are. separate the spin from the facts the misinformation from the journalism the listening posts on al-jazeera americans live side by side in 2 parallel universes the truck parts of america are getting trampy or there is a poll out a few weeks ago that you had almost 30 percent americans believing they were on the cusp of civil war both sides accuse each other of doing things that are so blatantly wrong the bottom line on us politics and policies a matter of fact on the world.
