mistook him entry on. the 1st death from the coronavirus outside of china. in the philippines while china steps up its fight against the outbreak that has now killed $300.00 people and countries around the world are imposing more travel restrictions. they will not be able to come in and remain within new zealand. clover and i'm kemal santa maria in doha with the world news from al-jazeera iraq has a new prime minister after months of deadlock but the protesters say they'll continue their anti-government demonstrations the wheels have stopped spinning for india's textile industry badly hit by a slowing economy. so

the corona virus outbreak which was of course declared a global health emergency by the w.h.o. is spreading we have seen the 1st death outside of china reported in the philippines a 44 year old man from with a virus was 1st reported died in a hospital in manila on saturday chinese health officials have now reported 45 new deaths that means the death toll there is up to 304 with more than 14000 people confirmed to have the illness. but. yesterday. a.

however the. worst. and so chinese authorities have been stepping up their efforts to fight the spread of the virus the eastern city of when joe has become the 1st outside of the epicenter of who a province to go into virtual lockdown is about 800 kilometers from on of the people and when only go out once every 2 days to buy necessities public events been cancelled schools and museums have been closed to more than $250.00 people have tested positive for corona virus ok here's the team on the story at this hour wayne hay in hong kong will be with you shortly when i want to start with barnaby no in manila with more barnaby on this philippines man the 44 year old man has died. the philippine star has to confirmed cases of the novell coronavirus one a few heard from the bill of health secretary is that

a 44 year old man from china which is the epicenter of this nobel corona virus the other one is a 38 year old female who is the partner of this 44 year old man she's now in stable condition she's at a government hospital here in manila unfortunately the 44 year old man has passed away he died in that same government hospital on saturday here in manila now the good news is that 24 people who were under observation and have built coronavirus here to philippines have been declared negative of the coronavirus also the other good news is that these 2 people who have been identified as positive for the nobel coronavirus were already sick when they got to do philippines and in other words dave did not acquire this virus locally so there is no case yet as of now of the

virus transmitting from one person to another locally but there are still several people who are under observation in several hospitals government hospitals in various regions here in the philippines commom and how is the government reacted to it because as you point out of business at a local case that is a man correct myself actually a man from who's come to the philippines but yet it is still it's the kind of thing which worry people there. right you know the government has been under heavy criticism in the last few days people have been saying that the government has not been acting with urgency with the speed that other governments have been acting and in the past few days the only flights that were banned were flights from the epicenter of the virus which is hoop a province but just today sunday philippine president will be going to target date

ordered all flights coming from china carrying foreign nationals not just chinese nationals but all foreign nationals who are traveling from china as well china special administrative region of hong kong and macau banned from entering the philippines only filipino citizens traveling from china will be able to enter to philippines but when they enter the philippines they will be subject to a 14 day quarantine so this is the immediate preventive measure that the philippine government has done but you know there is a sense of panic here a lot of pharmacies and grocery stores have run out of masks and you have people lining up outside these grocery stores having their names listed for the next stock of facial masks and you have schools especially chinese schools with mainlander students who have suspended classes for 2 weeks and so there is this real sense of

panic here in certain segments of society here in the philippines not all of course there is of course in most of the philippines life or means normal but with one death already being reported here in the philippines the panic is growing bigger and bigger kemal ok thank you will be low in manila there and now to weigh in hey in hong kong just enough the u.n. on the situation in hong kong i'm reading about a plan struck by medical staff. yes that will certainly add to concern among hong kong people many people here have been calling for the border crossings between mainland china and hong top hong kong to be closed completely to try to control any further outbreaks of coronavirus here now the government says it won't do that so we have one union in hong kong that his call for a general strike among medical workers this week so it's going to stop on monday with

around 3000 what they call non-essential staff who will walk off the job now if the government doesn't meet their demands they're vowing to intensify their action through the course of the week one of the key demands is they want mainland chinese citizens to be prevented from entering hong kong well we've heard repeatedly from the government from the chief executive kerry lamb saying that they don't want to do that they want to keep the borders open for the most part to allow the free flow of people and for goods as well but to try to protect hong kong as much as they possibly can they going to increase things like medical checks temperature checks at those border crossings so it seems unlikely that the demands all of this union are going to would so we're going to at this stage see quite a few medical workers will have the job on monday ok when not to put. you know economic side of the health but still i'm wondering about economic impact in places

like hong kong and in china is all because there are a lot of retailers and commercial interests shutting up shop at least temporarily. yes i think undoubtedly people are going to look more and more closely at what the potential economic impacts of this outbreak of coronavirus will be on places like hong kong mainland china the u.s. take giant apple was the latest onset date set today to announce that it is closing more than 40 all the stores around mainland china closing its offices as well temporarily a microsoft did something similar we have the food companies mcdonald's and starbucks closing many many stores around mainland china car companies scaling back production so undoubtedly that is going to have an economic impact on an economy that was already starting to slow down significantly still feeling the effects of that long trade war with the united states and things like border closures travel

bans things that the world health organization lobbies against it says they can be counterproductive because they can stop the flow of information between countries they can stop the flow of medical supplies and we know that in some of those affected areas in mainland china there is still a severe shortage of medical supplies and ultimately they have a negative effect on the economy and that flows down to smaller communities and has a negative impact on society in general there is an irony here though of course that the chinese government is busy closing down as you mentioned entire provinces and cities ordering government departments private businesses to remain closed and yet it has been very critical of some of these foreign governments that are imposing travel bans and closing borders so a bit of a contradiction there as well ok when hey in hong kong thank you for all of that it's. let's go further afield look at the global response to the crisis as we've mentioned the philippines and new zealand have become the latest countries to ban

foreign tourists from entering if they have recently visited china south korea has also banned any foreign nationals have recently been to a province o.l. and suspended flights to china particularly the u.s. carriers delta united an american council the services also kataria as vietnam and other asian carriers and russia has said it is suspending all visa free travel for tourists to and from china and their governments also stopped issuing visas to people who have recently been to china we mentioned new zealand there the prime minister just says her country is taking a precautionary approach new zealand permanent residents and citizens who have been in mainland china will continue to be able to return home they will be required to go into isolation for a period of 14 days for anyone who has visited mainland china and the last 14 days they will not be able to come in and remain with the new zealand borders frustrations will be placed at the border we will be reviewing that every 48 hours

now there are also 8 confirmed cases in the united states the latest is in boston and authorities in new york city so they are investigating the 1st possible case there as well. 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 travelled to china they did have the specific symptoms associated coronavirus and they did come to get medical care here at the hospital. now to other news in iraq's president bottom sollars name former communications minister mohammad allowing as prime minister designate of his appointment hasn't been welcomed in all areas particularly where demonstrators been camped out for weeks demanding greater political reforms more

from baghdad now with some wonderful scene. 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 at the here 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 a good model 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 alawi 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. that we're going to investigate some bring those responsible for the violence against peaceful demonstrators to a town which. 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 allowed his appointment but influential shiite cleric mokhtar souter threw his weight behind him. i don't think he has support from all the political blocks 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 is appointment doesn't fulfill either of these demands but it could and the months of deadlock and pave the way for early elections and gradual reform some want to hold in al-jazeera but that. and also reporting from baghdad imran khan is into where the center of the anti-government protests with more of the public mood of this new appointment. because i we know he needs to get these people on his side in order to be able to

put pressure on the politics set him and his cabinet and form a government and he has 30 days to do that and then yes to call early elections. elections for the for the protesters to be even vaguely satisfied but let me just show you i'm going to go out the way at the camera now these people have been camped out since october they had very big demands of the very beginning of the protest movement they wanted a complete overhaul of the political system in the months since then they've actually template that actually we just want now a new prime minister who cold elections or you want a change in that way now is the habits of the man that be able to deliver that well that's the really big question the protest movement is a unified very different views on the protests protests as well there's 2 key schools of thought the 1st one is well if

a law we support supports this group and 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 in the news ahead. and ignored tripoli rises to become the heart of lebanon's protests. hello once again welcome to another look at the international for causes fire and dry across saying that china will see that dry weather stretching across the south china sea into the philippines settled in sunny here little bits and pieces if that weather cloud the wetter weather as for the south down towards the equator and to the south of that some malaysia still seeing those big heat of the day showers will see some really big or rumbling storms there for borneo from time to time and

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 mahmoud abbas 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 negotiations u.s. president donald trump has given the palestinians 4 years to engage with the plan but the best that 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 handle an approach the moment they said jerusalem is and next year 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 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 the 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 a 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 dejection of this plan must must be. 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. the occupied west bank just another note from the region an israeli ban on palestinian agricultural produce has gone into effect israel's defense minister says the import ban is in response to a palestinian boycott of israel. palestinians export millions of dollars worth of agricultural produce to israel every year. protesters in lebanon of march through its poorest cities to show the government they're united in their calls for political change there is so widespread anger over corruption and mismanagement
