epidemic from 20022003 in which 800 people died so 17 years on what lessons have been learned or tara just heritage is the spokesman for the world health organization we spoke to him earlier from geneva he says there are multiple measures people can take to protect themselves. so to general law they're also those issues that this is already an emergency china and there is a high risk of spread to other countries now we can reconvene arts you could be a very short notice and we are obviously considering the. situation but the what is really important to say is that the clearing lot of works or not does not mean that there are not to be dispy done for the deewana is in contact daily contact with chinese authorities trying to understand that this situation trying to understand the virus together with the chinese culture officials also the

appropriate measures can be recommended we need to understand really disability for the time being the symptoms are after the floor like a respiratory illness like and also we have noticed that a lot of people who fall severely sick are older people underlying health conditions so we have to understand all of these things that we have to try to understand what is the source of this virus at the same dot we really want that people get the right message but it doesn't mean we recommend everyone to follow all precautionary measures that are wholly commended for respiratory illnesses such as hand hygiene such as covering model translate using such as avoiding contact with people who may have a food like symptoms and especially people who are having fever who are poor feet and who are having problems with breathing should immediately look for medical care

at least 7 people have been killed in a car bomb in northern syria the truck exploded in the city of a in aleppo province injuring several others no one has claimed responsibility. running battles have broken out for a 2nd consecutive day in iraq in security forces fire tear gas and bullets to clear antigovernment protests the crackdown began on saturday shortly after influential shia cleric. with through his support for the demonstrations imran khan has been in central baghdad and has this update on the protests and the security forces response. this is colonial square in central baghdad just over there you can save a tear gas being fired by anti-riot police into the crowds there are hundreds of people well they're doing is they coming in from takrit square just behind me and they are moving towards where they gathering in their hundreds to make that point now will the iraqi security forces are trying to. clear everybody chromed base as

area and push them towards career square where they're trying to contain them will they try to do is open up all of the roads and the bridges leading into trying. back in to central baghdad but these protesters are absolutely determined to make their point they say it's been months these protests began in 03 but they did still haven't been heard there is no prime minister there is a new prime minister and there's no new elections and they determine however as you can see it's a gas is very thick and heavy in the air now how long this will go on for is unknown there's a bit of a kind of cats and mouse game going on the protesters running they throw rocks they throw molotov and then they're beaten back by the iraqi security forces. israelis can now visit saudi arabia for religious or business trips under a new directive from the government does not have diplomatic relations with israel

and doesn't allow israeli passport holders to visit saudi arabia unless on a muslim pilgrimage the announcement comes as u.s. president donald trump is expected to release he's much touted middle east peace plan our correspondent in west jerusalem harry forces says this is another indication of the warming of relations between the 2 countries. what it does is that it allows anyone with an invitation from a saudi arabian official and a visa to exit israel to go to saudi arabia to pursue business interests seek investment opportunities for a period of up to 90 days now this is a very major change in the public relationship between these 2 countries and it comes at a very interesting time just ahead of the expected unveiling of the trump plan in washington d.c. we believe an event with benjamin netanyahu the israeli prime minister on tuesday

before that on monday president trump will be speaking to both netanyahu and the israeli opposition leader benny gantz and this normalization of relations which this is an increment of between saudi and israel really put saudi arabia at least in tension with its own initiative the arab peace initiative of 2002 which says that normalization can only come about after the palestinian issue is settled including a withdrawal of israel from the occupied territories including palestinian sovereignty over east jerusalem and all the indications all of the leaks that we've seen so far of the trump plan suggest that it blows through all of those sorts of palestinian red lines about what they would require and expect from a future state so if this is an indication of the current state of the relationship between israel and saudi arabia it was very interesting at least to see how saudi reacts to that announcement and other arab neighbors of israel later this week.

well the gambian army has been deployed in the capital to help police disperse crowds were demanding the resignation of president adama barrow security forces fired tear gas at thousands of people rallying in banjul they angry at a decision to complete his 5 year presidential term when he took office he had promised to stand down after 3 years and more on this we bring in nicholas hawk induct our in neighboring said ago we see people out on the streets obviously a lot of anger what about the response from the military here in trying to crack down on these protests is that a surprise. well that does come as a surprise of course the military has come under pressure and it's seen as an entity that was close to the former president made that rule the country for 22 years that use the military to stifle in dissent and so to put them out on the street like that in such an obvious way is seen as

a provocation by many protesters and we're here right now it's down that there are . tear gas being fired outside the hospitals where the injured have been taking place tear gas fired at angry protesters seeing yet the response of the government in regard to what they wanted to do as a peaceful protest. protest that they force wanted to organized a week ago the government wouldn't allow it and then they gave them just a 3 hour window for it to take place in just before it began security forces fired tear gas worth remembering stan that in the gambia there is a west african forces deployed to keep an eye on the military and the security services there so president barrow is clearly under pressure from a large proportion of the population because when he was elected to power in 2017 he made that promise that he would stand down that she would organize free and fair

election years after after his mandate but that did not take place and the reason that promise is important for so many people is that when he came to power a lot of the political leaders and dissidents were all imprisoned during his time so they weren't allowed to take part in those elections so i think for a lot of people in the gambia this is about the process in the respect of democracy in the game and that's what's at stake not so much adam barrow himself although he's come under heavy criticism from the victims of his rule those that have been victims of torture and for disappearance and those that have survived time in. because adam a bear in december said that the former president is welcome back to the country as a private citizen then though the information minister told me that if he did come back he would face the law there is a feeling that barrow is aligning himself closely. trying to trying to get support from supporters and so this is really

a dangerous political game and as you can as we saw today we can see right now it's creating this situation where people citizens feel that they have to go out on the streets and express their concern over at my barrows mandate and his rule stand you nicholas for us there from dhaka in mali 22 soldiers have been killed and 6 wounded after an attack on the army barracks it happened in the town of sick kolo in the border with mauritania the attack has been down the mali and other countries in the whole region have been struggling to deal with the rise in attacks by several groups. well still ahead on al-jazeera the worst violation of libya's truce so far the largest misrata with more details. of the regime is some day of mourning problems before the city or the television that's dividing all stripes.

a permanent lasting cease fire to bring the warring parties to the negotiating table. officials from libya's 2 rival governments say fighting has broken out near the western city of misrata the un backed government in tripoli says its soldiers have retaken the town of grain misrata is libya's 2nd largest city and is home to groups who oppose the war lords only for have to take control of the of the city is an important part of the government's defense of the capital of the have to launch these offensive in april last year tony berkeley is in misrata live for us is going to bring us the latest on that fighting in tony given that is meant to be a ceasefire in place why are we seeing this outbreak of fighting now. big question stan we don't exactly know the answer to that at the moment this was a surprise offensive launched this morning they went 20 kilometers into the territory held by the government of national accord forces they then retreated they

really rearmed reinforced and went back and talked back and then went on beyond that to take up territory that was previously held by have to troops they responded in a very strong way this is most serious violation if you like of the cease fire which started on january the 12th a cease fire that khalifa haftar has not signed by the way but nevertheless it's been holding up held quite well in the last week or so apart from some violations around tripoli but nobody knows the reason for this was this a way of flexing their muscle showing they're still around they still can actually inflict damage but also it's a way that the jna forces a show that they can respond when needed and they of actually given they have to or force a bloody nose so everybody says this is a conflict that cannot be resolved militarily is this going to be the start of something bigger we don't know it may be just a one day wonder but we have to watch and see i think the main action is going on in european and western capitals as leaders try and find

a way to resolve this conflict and there's the turkish president is saying there's a lot of dismay here a lot of disappointment that an internationally recognized government is not getting the support from the world and there's not pressure being put on what they call is a renegade general who's holding the country to ransom by blockading these ports and causing a financial economic crisis how long will the international community let that go on for that's the question that the libyan government is asking and the people tony thank you for there tony burke who live there for us in misrata. italians voting in regional elections the league party is hoping to make gains in areas traditionally dominated by the lift it's a crucial test for its leader a former deputy prime minister. who pulled out of a coalition government last year a strong showing on sunday could help him in the next general election. bangladesh's economy is showing signs of growth but so too is inequality one in 5 people live below the poverty line the average wage is less than $5.00
