flights from mainland to hong kong will be slashed by half in terms of sea travel all across border ferry services will be suspended. brown's our correspondent in hong kong many told us more about the impact of these new measures. for kerry to have taken such a decision he would have had to have had the approval of the leadership in beijing because this is a major major decision but the view of many people here on the streets of hong kong is that it's basically too little too late they wanted the border shut down several days ago and indeed many legislators have been calling for the same thing but carolan has said that that would be impractical but he hasn't ruled out shutting down the border eventually for the moment it's going to be a partial closure and it's going to severely destruct you know travel between hong kong and the mainland you know flights between china and hong kong are being hard that's going to hit airlines like cap

a pacific the main carrier here in hong kong and of course all rail and ferry links are also being severed and this is going to remain in force we don't know how long for the foreseeable future says kerry but here in hong kong there are also signs not of panic but of a deepening armys over what is happening the way this far east is managing to spread so quickly face masks are really at a premium their prices have gone up by between 20 and 30 percent in the past couple of days that's a measure of the deepening concern here. but china's government says 106 people have now died from the virus while infections exceed 4600 elsewhere in southeast asia there are 14 confirmed cases in thailand 18 hone kong taiwan macau south korea japan singapore malaysia vietnam and cambodia they've also confirmed infections people of all say fallen ill in germany and france nepal australia the

u.s. and canada now many of those countries are working to get their citizens out of the chinese city of will hand that circles the center of the outbreak but the world health organization is cautious about that approach. evacuating staff or any anybody from an area always bears the slight possibility that they carry the virus with them or especially if there's a possibility of asymptomatic or very small symptoms. at the same time i understand that countries who have been already talking about bringing their nationals back which is of course in the full sovereignty in the interest of those member states have been taking measures or have announced measures to either contain these people on the on the way back or contain for a certain amount of time. the chinese president xi jinping has told the visiting. he's confident of defeating what he called

a devil virus got high levels now from beijing on the restrictions. and the effect that having. a 50 year old man was the 1st person in beijing to die from the corona virus he had returned from the epicenter in mohan on january 15th just 5 days before he died he texted a friend saying that he was sure that he'd get better some of the capital are not surprised by the 1st death. i am not too worried it is a serious disease it's normal to have some i don't think we have seen the peak of. the beijing government has last train service 10 percent even though the holiday has been extended until sunday many people here are coming back early they're worried they'll be more restrictions on transportation lays out danger of my train stopped for a few minutes nobody got on the tray but i was still scared and a few very uncomfortable the united states is evacuating its will haunt consulate and some civilians still in the city who are on lockdown japan is also dispatching

a plane to pull its citizens out and deliver supplies. the 1st plane to the airport tonight we also deliver a mosque protected and the other relief supplies to chinese and japanese people. but kind of kooky. among other countries south korea is planning a series of flights over the coming days to evacuate their citizens and once they arrive home they'll face days of quarantine the director of the world health organization was quoted by chinese state run media saying that he does not agree with the evacuations and the people need to remain calm and not overreact but with the city of 11000000 bunkered in their homes and more than 50000000 people on a transportation lockdown it's far from clear how long a plea for calm will last god or al jazeera beijing. the british prime minister boris johnson's decided that the chinese tech giant huawei will be granted a limited role in building the u.k.'s 5 g.

mobile network in doing so he risks the r. of us president donald trump who'd pressured him to keep our way out the u.s. suspects china's government could use well ways roll in next generation communications to steal secrets let's go live to london our correspondent following this is dean barber what's the nature then exactly of the decision it's kind of half in and half out it seems. that's exactly right it's half and a half out in terms of the next generation 5 g. communications network but let's not forget that hallway the company at the center of the argument is already highly involved in britain's 4 g. network and that was a crucial factor the the government what it met with its ministers and key intelligence officials on tuesday morning came up with advice to the various network the various mobile operators here in the u.k.

that they should exclude what they call high risk vendors which is a category that will come under they should exclude them from core functions in sensitive parts of the 5 g. network they're talking about things like data centers they say that it should be excluded from safety related networks and from sensitive geographical locations like near military bases but it should be allowed into known core areas with a maximum of a 35 percent market share in those areas such as constructing mobile phone masts now you can see mobile phone masts masts in this country that have already been constructed by hallway for the 4 g. network which many operators not all of them use the government is insisting that this decision means that it can roll out 5 g. quickly they feared a delay of several years otherwise and more cheaply basically analysts here are

saying that whole hallway is not the only company that could have done it but certainly the cheapest given its or its presence at the moment the company has welcomed the move many members of boris johnson's own governments are still extremely worried about the security implications they say under chinese law the company could be ordered to actually spy on britain the companies say that that's nonsense and they've already mentioned the fact that the americans were pressuring boys johnson to say no to huawei any reaction from them. well mike pompei will be here on wednesday he's warned that this was a crucial decision and there have been warnings from from washington d.c. that the u.s. could actually re to look again at intelligence sharing with britain now that could be a bluff but behind that there's this trade war between the u.s. and china so this will about and could the americans on top of that britain has

caused tension with its plans to go ahead with the digitals sales tax against tech firms like google in the u.s. so certainly mr pompei o will be raising that with prime minister boris johnson but at the moment the decision sticks and it is as you say part in part out whether that will be safe enough for the likes of the u.s. remains to be seen and i deem thank you for that that in baba there live in london israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been formally indicted in court after withdrawing his request for immunity from prosecution the attorney general filed the allegations in west jerusalem that effectively launched trial proceedings netanyahu was charged with fraud breach of trust and bribery in november he's denied wrongdoing but says immunity proceedings in parliament would have been a circus akiva eldar is a columnist at monitor he says netanyahu has immunity bid was only ever

a tactic to buy time. he doesn't have the majority in the knesset to get the immunity so it was just you know a cheap shot at trying to was very transparent to gain few more weeks and it didn't look very presidential so to speak to go through the knesset the you merely ation and every day again until the elections to catch the headlines with the corruption at 1st so i think that now his looking at the elections he is hoping that the deal of the century will hijack the headlines and instead of the immunity process in the knesset and here he can lead with his slogans that you know this is a one time opportunity it's an historic move and blah blah blah and people some people i think the people on the floating boats that the guns wants to move to

his side will probably make many of them will buy this. here from now benjamin netanyahu is due to stand beside donald trump as the u.s. president reveals his middle east peace plan but the palestinians have already rejected it they're calling for an emergency arab league summit as a white house correspondent kimberly hocket. president alongside israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu u.s. president donald trump announced he is releasing his long awaited middle east peace plan many of the arab nations have agreed to it they like it they think it's great it's a big start trump didn't say which arab nations supposedly liked the plan only that he'll unveil it on tuesday after white house consultations with the israeli leader and his political opponent blue and white chairman benny gantz gats was invited to the white house and met separately with trump amidst an intense election campaign

back in israel. but missing from any announcement are the palestinians there are concerns tribe's plan will deny palestinian refugees the right of return palestinian leaders have declared proposal dead on arrival given there's been no consultation this is actually the fraud of the century the fraud of the century. cancelling everything get into international law and international. discussions broke down when the us embassy to disputed jerusalem from tel aviv in december 27th teen the white house also cut off aid to the palestinians closed the palestine liberation organization offices in washington and recognized israel sovereignty over the golan heights moved seem to support netanyahu especially as he attempts to win reelection amid corruption allegations 1st. that the people of the structures

the opportunity the israeli elections are in march trump denies he's interfering instead to. rob is touting this plan as an economic opportunity for palestinians. months ago his son in law jared cushion or proposed a peace to prosperity plan to raise $50000000000.00 to improve the lives of palestinians in the west bank and gaza it's something they should want they probably won't want it initially but i think in the end they will i think in the end they're going to want it the unveiling of president trump's middle east peace plan has been delayed repeatedly initially the white house said it was waiting until after the israeli elections given israel is now preparing for its 3rd vote in under 12 months the white house now says it's moving ahead with the plans release can really help at al-jazeera the white house people have already been out in the palestinian territory protesting against the peace plan around 2000 also on the

streets and goals of the burning tires and they're waving flags they're accusing president trump of putting together a deal that will only benefit the israelis and in the occupied west bank israeli troops and then numbers closer ramallah small protests have already begun their larger crowds are expected later extra soldiers have been drafted into the jordan valley that's an area the netanyahu has pledged to partially it's. still to come here at al-jazeera caught in the crossfire unicef warms of the devastating effects of conflict on children in africa. a frustration grows among ranger refugees in bangladesh about fencing is being built around them.

but. it is going to be a very unsettled picture throughout much of japan over the next few days the rain has been coming in steadily for the last day or 2 and some snow in the cold add to the mountains plenty of clouds showing up on the satellite where we haven't got central and eastern sections of china all that weather as being pushing across into home she particularly over the last a day or 2 will stay in the forecast on wednesday by thursday not a great deal of change the very heavy rain tends to push to the north into hock either turning over to snow in that cold air over 3 celsius is the high end sub par a 15 degrees and take it. in hong kong on the south coast of china and sunny skies mostly county skies throughout much of indonesia more those scattered showers and thunderstorms heavy on wednesday into all central areas of borneo and very heavy into western and southern sections of sumatra but java policing the bulk of those showers as we go on in 2000 again of course at times some of this that shows becoming pretty strong slightly less in the day the rain is continuing to fire back

to northern sections of india particularly it will work its way east with wednesday also west bengal up into bangladesh this is where we're going to see the snow up into the mountains or all of it just really lingering on thursday but the fog is back in place in new delhi with a high of 80. when was the last time you were out on the streets protesting whether on line you feel the weight of the system going to walk through each and every luggage or layer further and further into the jail or if you join us on set free entry has to start from day one whether again you and attention or your incarceration this is a dialogue everyone has a voice over there are studies that support our coverage will be varying accounts but i want to give people the reason for joining the global conversation on how does iraq.

by terrorists take a look at the top stories here it out in syria hong kong zita carol lam has announced drastic cuts to cross border travel with mainland china in the hope of stopping the spread of coronavirus all ferry and train services are to be halted flights will be of impersonal travel permits suspended the british prime minister boris yeltsin's decided that chinese tech giant huawei will be granted a limited role in building the u.k.'s 5 g. network donald trump pressured him to keep 4 way out because of security in sands. and hours before its to be amounts protests have begun in the palestinian territory against president obama's middle east peace plan people have been out in gaza and

there were a mullah denouncing a deal they say will only benefit the israelis. that least 40 civilians have now been confirmed dead in an attack in bikini fast so they were killed by an armed group in the northern province in this a whole region on saturday so far it's unclear as to who was responsible for the attack scuffles have broken out between iraqi security forces and antigovernment protests as in baghdad live ammunition and tear gas have been fired on crowds who are resisting attempts by the security forces to clear their camps from the capital . is among the protesters. this is khiladi square where protesters have been beaten back by security forces you can see the target canisters just over there what's happening is there's a cat and mouse game going on the protesters run that way and they use rocks and

they throw sticks at the police and then they fire back we've heard a lot of fire but as you can see all of. the protesters are very determined they say they want. this is been going on since october or the protesters say they want a new prime minister and you elections are going back to the african saheli region which is now facing staggering levels of violence and the u.n. has warned that almost 5000000 people will be in need of aid this year it says they're increasingly the target of attacks of abductions and forced recruitment by armed groups unicef says 670000 children fled their homes last year and that of course is hampering their access to food to water and to education alexia bryan reports. across large parts of west and central africa these scenes are all too familiar a village burned in an attack and families on the run carrying whatever they can.

see even months ago we had to flee our village because armed groups arrived they killed and took away some of the villages we got scared so we fled and took refuge here and. is among $5000000.00 children the u.n. says will need aid in the region this year the most vulnerable now increasingly at risk children. violence because children do not access any more to aid the occasion to facilities and to for short services in general but also we have noticed an increasing grave violation so getting children here compared to the previous years unicef says hundreds of thousands of children have lived through trauma been sexually abused kidnapped or forced to fight for armed groups the u.n. secretary general has warned the world is losing the war in the sahara fight as

affiliated with al qaida and i still have increased their presence in the region they've also stopped ethnic violence. thousands of troops have been deployed to the area from the sahara countries but also france and the us the french minister for the armed forces was in washington on monday she says expected cuts by the pentagon to its africa mission would severely limit counter-terror operations our friends in the us so are in a situation where our assistance is critical. and i have expressed the hope that boasts the united states and france will keep on supporting them but the impact of the conflict goes beyond violence there's hunger too and not enough water 670000 children who've been forced from their homes into camps like this say stop and what used to be a school. this little boy may be in a classroom but there's no math or science here just tough life lessons taught to

soon brian al jazeera. that the u.s. is disputing ripples that taliban fighters shot down an american military plane in afghanistan it crashed in a mountainous area of girls in the province large parts of which are controlled by the taliban now these are exclusive pictures that were obtained by al-jazeera and they show the wreckage of what could be an aircraft that provides communications in remote areas our correspondent zain bizarrely has more from the afghan capital kabul. there's been a great deal of confusion all the journalists in the capital here have been trying to piece together the details and many people are saying that the taliban indeed has claimed responsibility for this attack interpreted in the statements put out by the official spokesman as a claim of responsibility however it has to be said if you look at the dari language translation if you look at specifically what was said they don't actually ever specifically claimed responsibility for the attack

a longer message from the taliban leader earlier this morning in the english language has vague references to the fact that they've shot down planes or helicopters in the past in several provinces but again no specific claim for this attack and really that would track with the fact that the americans seem to think that it wasn't any sort of sinister act or sort of threatening attack that brought down this aircraft but to give you an update on the crash site what we know last night we activated our stringer on the ground in gaza a province and he reached the location earlier today and reported back what we know is happening at the crash site at the moment is that there are american aircraft in the area what we're told is from our eyewitness on the ground that there are 'd american jets and drones in the area there have been warning flares fired to keep people away and that has cleared the area earlier we saw pictures of local people i witness as we also heard reports of taliban presence was there at the crash site in the hours following the incident yesterday afternoon but what we're being told now

is that no one is going close to the site for fear of the american aircraft in the area. fresh ations going among ranger refugees in kut seems bizarre because of restrictions being placed on them by bangladeshis on the rallies and protests in refugee camps a band and now a new fence is it being felt time to challenge the reports from cuts is bizarre. more than 2 years after 700000 rohingya fled a military crackdown in myanmar they're still can go home and continue to live in what is the world's largest refugee camp but cox's bazaar in bangladesh far from being a refuge for growing up from death and destruction they experienced in myanmar is now to many nothing more than a prison camp. begum was tortured and abused by me and more security forces she still has nightmares about the violence she suffered but as a member of woman said look as a group now helps others at the camp however she fears for their future might have

been my see what i don't like there are a lot of restrictions on us in myanmar now i'm afraid we will be kept under similar restrictions here in bangladesh many of us now want to leave and head to another country rallies and protests are no longer allowed at cox's bizarre but that didn't stop some elderly rohingya woman expressing their views about the new fencing despite protests by the rights groups bangladesh army is building fences around our owing a refugee camp together with restaurants and recently imposed on their movement and communication blackout refugees said increasingly frustrated and anxious the government say it wants to stop the flow of drugs into the camps stop human trafficking and prevent crime but the rights groups say the fencing and guard towers violate refuges right to freedom of movement i want. the barbed wire fencing around us reminds me of myanmar it now appears that the authorities here want to keep us under confinement and restrictions as well. restoration has been growing in

bangladesh about hosting the refugees particularly since the last 2 attempts to repair trade them to me and my failed this sympathy and compassion to as their own anger in bangladesh aims to be slowly fading and for the refugees as the prospect of returning home to me on my looks even more distant then i fear they are no longer wanted in bangladesh either. cox's bazar bangladesh. police in france are begun dismantling a camp and removing migrants in the north of paris they say the camps illegal and people will be relocated to temporary facilities $1400.00 people were moved including $93.00 children madagascar has seen a week of floods and landslides triggered by heavy rains at least 30 people have died large parts of the northwestern town of morrow voigt is submerged and that's forcing thousands to leave their homes priyanka gupta reports. this is what

a week of torrential rain has done to the people of marta way. their homes swept away paddy fields and rice stalls destroyed thanks the few belongings people like lisa have disappeared in the flood waters now she just wants to survive. i need food for my children and for me my children don't have any clothes to see. we have nothing to wear. i've had to bar this. at least 16000 people have been displaced by floods across 7 regions of madagascar in recent days roads linking northwestern parts of the island to the rest of the country have been washed away and that's making it difficult to get aid into the area with most of the quene and cattle gone people are trying to salvage what little they can some

a survivor and fish swimming on flooded streets them softer than i am begging you to help past everything we have has been destroyed even our house has been destroyed a house made of bricks we had only recently built it. the government has declared a state of national emergency and there are fears the flooding in madagascar mainly why scoring areas may lead to shortage of food and malnutrition. little the problem is food there isn't enough because their houses have been damaged the food and everything else is in the water they left everything behind the main thing is to survive and now we've launched an appeal on television and with donors. madagascar is one of the poorest nations in the world 3 quarters of its population live on less than $2.00 a day it's in the middle of a 6 month rainy season tropical storms are common at this time. and saw cyclons
