india's textile industry has been badly hit by a slowing economy. but over in the corona virus outbreak declared a public health emergency by the united nations is spreading we have now seen the 1st death outside of china it's been reported in the philippines a 44 year old man from the epicenter of the illness died in a hospital in manila on saturday. as chinese health officials reported 45 new deaths bringing the number of those killed in china to 304 crucially there more than 14000 people are confirmed to have the illness. that also confirmed that the. male die yesterday federally.

but over the course of the beijing admission he developed to her no value in his last few days the patient was able and showed signs of improvement however the can do short of the patient. waiting in the last 24 hours resulting in his that my. meanwhile chinese authorities have stepped up their efforts to fight the spread of the virus the eastern city of when john has become the 1st outside of the epicenter of a province to go into virtual lockdown some 800 kilometers from people when judge can now go out only once every 2 hours to buy necessities public events have been canceled schools and museums have been closed or than $250.00 people in the city actually have the coronavirus now right we've got wayne hay in hong kong. bring us up to date with everything let's start with the case in the philippines when. yes we'll all thirty's there the philippine government and the world health

organization announcing this fatality that took place on saturday very keen to stress that this was not a local transmission that the 44 year old man from holland where it's thought that this outbreak 1st started brought the virus with him from china he traveled to the philippines from china via hong kong on the 21st of january 4 days later was hospitalized and then died on saturday with sylvia pneumonia he didn't travel alone either he was with a 38 year old woman traveling companion she is also from and she had earlier been confirmed as the 1st coronavirus case in the philippines so she's being kept in isolation in a hospital in the philippines so the confirmation all of this fatality coming on sunday just hours after the philippine government had tightened its travel ban now stipulates that all foreigners traveling from china including hong kong and macau

not just mainland chinese citizens but all foreigners traveling from china to the philippines now banned previously it was just citizens from who bay province so we're seeing the philippines following the lead of several other countries now in implementing these sorts of travel bans and what about hong kong as well. actually where are you today i mean you're outside a pharmacy yesterday what's happening behind you today. well we are outside a commercial building in hong kong one of the big challenges in this city at the moment is a shortage of face masks so there is a private company here right to a company that has managed to get hold of around 5000 protective face mostow giving them away for free so people have been lining up right around the block to try to get some of those face masks out one thing many people in hong kong want is for the government to close the borders between mainland china and hong kong the government

is not doing that so one group the a union representing thousands of medical work is going to go on strike beginning on monday initially that saying it will be around 3000 non-essential medical staff but they are vowing to increase that action to step it up as the week progresses if the government does not bow to its demands one of the key demands is that it prevent mainland chinese citizens from entering hong kong again the hong kong government it doesn't seem likely that it will bow to those demands they have said repeatedly that they will not close the borders the chief executive of hong kong carrie lamb has said that she favors keeping the borders open for people to travel through and also for trade to continue instead opting for increased medical checks and things like that at the borders and that is certainly something that the will health organization advocates as well and yet we are seeing as i mentioned previously country after country member nations of the world health organization

like new zealand australia singapore the united states introducing these bans on people traveling from china into their countries thank you wayne in hong kong. more now on the global response to the crisis and when is mentioned some of this the philippines and new zealand becoming the latest countries. banned foreign tourists from entering if they have recently visited china south korea has banned any foreign nationals who have recently been to a province as well more airlines have suspended flights to china you've got the u.s. carriers delta united and american all canceling services also cutter airways vietnam airlines and some other asian carriers and russia has said is that it is suspending all visa free travel for tourists to and from china vietnam's government also stopped issuing visas to people have recently been there meanwhile authorities in new york city say they're investigating the 1st possible case there this individual

this patient who is being evaluated right now did exactly as they should have followed the guidelines that the new york put out and they met these specific criteria they had traveled to china they did have the specific symptoms associated with coronavirus and they did come to get medical care here at the hospital when the investigation in new york comes as the u.s. confirms its 8th case in boston carol is on the has those details. there are 3 in the state of california 2 in illinois one in the state of washington and one in the state of arizona the latest confirmed case comes from the state of massachusetts particularly the city of boston that's where officials there said it is a. man in his twenty's a college student who is a student at the university of massachusetts at the boston campus who had come back

from china showed signs or symptoms of being sick was tested in the test came back positive he is now being had held in isolation at his home in boston and being closely monitored 24 hours a day by medical officials there we also have from the city city of new york city mayor bill de blasio confirming the 1st suspected case the u.s. is preparing potentially for hundreds if not thousands of people that they're repatriating from china or visitors that they need to quarantine and where are they going to put them where the department of health and human services has requested that the military set up some sort of quarantine areas on military bases and the pentagon confirm that they are doing that they are having beds if you will for as many as 1000 people to be quarantined they've already identified 3 different military bases where they will put these people that potentially could have

coronavirus should this be necessary in the coming days all 3 major u.s. airlines united american and delta have canceled all of their flights to china however there are flights from chinese carriers that are coming to the u.s. still and those flights are all being diverted to 7 different international airports in the u.s. where there is going to be extensive extra scoop screening of all passengers who are either coming from china or could have come through china to the u.s. all of this is going to be starting on sunday. the thoughts now of talk to vin got to he's from the university of washington medical center and says china has responded well to the outbreak but the virus has proved almost impossible to track . you know i have to applaud the chinese government because i think they've learned the lessons of 2003 with sars because corona virus this current virus is behaving very similarly to sars it kills elderly individuals more so than younger otherwise

healthy individuals it seems like it's actually more transmissible than sars that if you're asymptomatic or if you're recovering from this illness you're so likely to transmitted that's why it's so concerning and frankly even more concerning than sars so i would say the chinese government has done has learned the lessons of the past they've there are some concerns that maybe they delayed their detection or weren't issuing red flag warnings as soon as the should have but they've done a lot and if it's true that if you're in asymptomatic individual that you can still transmitted and major studies in major medical journals have confirmed that then then the transmission patterns of corona virus are unlike anything we've ever seen previously with a droplet or airborne transmitted disease like flu or sars or murders this is different and this is concerning that's why our our pentagon in our our military

services are setting up quarantine beds because what else are we going to do but the fact is you can't quarantine everybody's so i think we should all be prepared that case loads will increase i think i'm hearing numbers of 75000 just in who bay province we should expect that number we should expect the number of dead to increase we should think spec the number of suspected cases here are confirmed in the united states to increase as well and i think that should not be surprising to anyone of us. on to other news and after months saskin for a new prime minister iraq his demands have been fulfilled but inevitably not everyone is happy president names the former communications minister mohammad as prime minister designate on saturday but his appointment has not been welcomed in some areas where demonstrators of countdowns demanding greater political reforms a live update in a moment after this report from some wonderful team. on the streets response to iraq's prime minister designate came fast and it was loud and clear.

mohammed the law is rejected protesters in baghdad to hear square chanted on saturday night after 2 months of political deadlock president barham saleh chose mohamed allow it to replace other loved the mahdi who resigned 2 months ago amid widespread anti-government protests days prior to allow his appointment we spoke to protesters in tahrir he had who saw him as another incarnation of a political system that has failed them. all for sure he's rejected any person who has a relation with the parties from close or far is reject from all the people in general because for 16 years we haven't seen anything from them just destruction. indeed allawi is part and parcel of iraq's post 2003 political establishment a cousin of former vice president and prime minister ayad alawi he served as a member of parliament and communication minister but resigned in 2012 after he

accused the government of sectarianism upon his appointment allow addressed iraqis in a late night speech pledging to address their demands. i want to point towards the necessity for the peaceful protests to continue that support reforms until they achieve their legitimate demands and the government starts their genuine reforms. just like his predecessor allow a promise to create jobs and fight corruption and he vowed to bring those responsible for the deaths of over $600.00 protesters to account. i'll confirm that we're going to investigate some bring those responsible for the violence against peaceful demonstrators to a crown which is. the prime minister designate has 30 days to form a cabinet which must be approved by a parliament that has been deeply divided over how to handle the latest crisis some factions have rejected allow his appointment but influential shiite cleric mokhtar souter threw his weight behind him. i don't think he has support from all the

political blocs but there are important political forces and i expect that the surge wrists movement will stand with him and if that's the case the other political blocs will do the sign it. for 4 months protesters have asked for a complete overhaul of the political system and then independent head of state who isn't beholden to any domestic or foreign powers allow his appointments doesn't fulfil either of these demands but it could end the months of the blog and pave the way for early elections and gradual reform some want to fold to an al-jazeera but the dad. and his imran khan now in baghdad to talk more about this it's an interesting approach the new prime minister is taking is an enron saying to the people continue to protest peacefully but continue to protest continue to demand everything you want. it just goes to show you come all exactly how powerful this protest movement is bombing to be allowed we knows he needs to get these people on the his side in order to be able to put pressure on the parliament take

set him and his cabinet and form a government and he has 30 days to do that and then yes to call early elections. actions for the for the protesters to be even fake be satisfied but let me just say show you're going to get out the way at the camera now these people have been camped out since october they had very big demands at the very beginning of the protest movement they wanted a complete of the whole of the political system in the months since then they've actually template that to say actually we just want now a youth prime minister because of the elections or you want a change that way now is to have it to become law we demand that be able to deliver that well that's the really big question the protests we've been a vote isn't very different views on what the protest protest is what these 2 key schools of thought the 1st one is well if

a law we support supports this movement then we should support him and the other one says well actually he's part of the old school he's part of the problem and we want a complete change that's what i was going to ask you i mean the name we itself that goes back to. was it his cousin the former prime minister. top salute you write he has politics of the political establishment but he has actually taken issue with his own party he was the communications minister nuri al maliki's government he actually resigned from that because he felt that nouri al maliki was pushing forward sectarian policies that he simply couldn't agree with now he does have the backing of a key share cleric from tada also there who has one of the largest books in all but i don't know if you can see it but just like that way is a very huge building if chakra square is the focal point then the turkish threshold as it's known is huge for 5 story building is the focal point of the focal point

now several sides and his supporters they pulled out of the protest movement for a week but they're now back in and they've taken over that building and this is concerning to the protesters because they say they may well be cold to the protest movement but others say well actually we do need something political in order to push this forward so maybe we do have to deal with books how to put all of this well is just is iraq and politics is a lot of false trading going on but ultimately much like prime minister of the mahdi himself. but having to think a lot we may well just get this job because simply no one else can greet everyone. that something might come out about in baghdad thank you for that in the news ahead . impoverished and ignored tripoli rises to become the heart of lebanon's protests.

purchase. the arab league has completely rejected donald trump's proposed middle east plan calling it unfair at their emergency meeting in cairo palestinian president mahmoud abbas criticize the proposal saying its people will never accept it in abraham reports from the occupied west bank that. palestinians were banking on the support of the arab league's faith and they got it. coming to the ministerial council confirms the palestinian government's rejection to the so-called deal of the century in its current form the council stressed that the acceptance of such a deal would mean waiving the historical rights of the palestinian people because it's considerably less than the legitimate ambitions of the palestinian people president abaft detailed at length the reasons why the u.s. mideast plan should be rejected saying it adopts the israeli position in full leaving little or no room for any negotiation u.s. president donald trump has given the palestinians 4 years to engage with the plan

but the best is rated we use that time to push ahead with policies which are contrary to international law and further sort of defy the occupation we're going to go and approach the moment they said jerusalem is and next to israel i knew i have to say it loud and clear we will never accept that under any circumstances i will never sell jerusalem the arab league has presented the arab peace initiative from 2002 as a solution for the palestinian israeli conflict. it calls for the end of the israeli occupation before arab and islamic states normalize relations with israel. and the influence of the regional conflict led some states to go along with the us administration their fear from iran pushed them closer to the main enemy israel reflected negatively on the obscene of the official level the palestinian leadership hopes that diplomatic pressure could help keep israeli plans in check

but i think it is we spoke to here today say that they've been hearing similar statements from different organizations productive and their lives under occupation have only been getting worse could not do it if the arabs are with us the u.s. and israel won't do this to us. we are not waiting for the arabs they already sold us thought if we are split amongst ourselves what are we expecting from the palestinian officials say the arab league's position helps them rally support especially as the israeli prime minister promised to push for an extension as early as next week i do believe that the the rejection of this plan must must be come from the community because it is illegal it's undermines the international law not only undermines the rights of the palestinian people the palestinian leadership is also looking for the backing of the african summit the organization of islamic cooperation and the united nations security council officials here say it's not the

u.s. plan itself they fear it's how israel can use it need a break him al jazeera the occupied west bank. protesters in lebanon have marched through its poorest city to show the government they're united in their calls for political change there is still widespread anger of corruption and mismanagement the slightest rally comes ahead of next week's confidence vote to approve a new cabinet sort of hide it reports from trip. so. revolutionary songs play out says activists board buses taking them to tripoli it's the 1st time they've come together from different parts of the country to meet in the poorest city in lebanon we came from label to thank tripoli for all the birds everything she did for baby and all every single digit game yet also. the team of today is hand in hand so we're putting i would hunt together that's the one heart one blood and one heart beat. just weeks ago protesters
