have reported suspected cases officials there are concerned poor countries are ill equipped to deal with any outbreaks and the growing number of airlines are suspending services to and from china south korea the philippines and new zealand and people who recently traveled there from entering 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 4 to. 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's borders for will be placed at the border we will be reviewing that every 48 hours. from scott hi-lo has this report from beijing. one of the purpose built coronavirus hospitals and opened its doors on monday another is due to go online in the coming

days together chinese officials say more than 2000 patients with the virus will be able to get care at the new facilities but with urgent calls for more supplies and warnings of understaffed and overworked medical teams at the existing hospitals these new facilities will probably take some time before they can run at full capacity this is the announcement health officials around the world have been bracing for the 1st coronavirus death outside of china a 44 year old chinese man from mohan died on saturday in the philippines. however the. worst. more countries are flying their citizens out of province and new zealand has joined the list of nations barring non-citizens who have recently traveled to china from

entering as this was supposed to be the end of the extended lunar new year holiday the streets of beijing should be bustling but the government here has said only a sense the workers will return the others not for another week at least businesses and private enterprises are doing the same. many are stuck inside their homes millions of chinese are taking to social media to talk about the coronavirus mostly venting frustration on the slow reaction of the government when the virus was 1st discovered and how donations have been diverted or delayed this story about a t.v. crew stopped from reporting on the work of the red cross received nearly 300000 comments chinese officials are also taking to social media using it to notify the public about details of cases of corona virus so those who travel on the same flights trains or buses as infected patients and repast oblio exposed can get tested to try and prevent the virus from spreading further god or al jazeera beijing let's bring in rob brown who's live for us from washington d.c.

rob how is the u.s. response evolving now. well the us response is more or less in line with many other countries last week the federal government declared a public health emergency and it announced that no travelers no non u.s. citizens who travel from china will be allowed to enter the united states the number of cases confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the u.s. now stands at 8 with the discovery of a confirmed case of a young man in boston massachusetts who had recently traveled to will han another possible case in the u.s. is largest city new york is being monitored very carefully but so far that has not been confirmed the u.s. in addition to those measures of barring non-citizens from entering the country if

they have been to china in the last 2 weeks is also designated for air force bases as places where u.s. citizens evacuated from china could be quarantined there's already a group of nearly 200 u.s. citizens who flew in last week who are in quarantine now for 2 weeks at a isolated air base in riverside county california rob more countries have been locking out people who have been to china recently what kind of impact or concern is that giving given that we're talking about the world's 2nd largest economy. well of course that's that's an incredible concern and let's start for example with the airline industry united airlines delta airlines american airlines along with the british airways air canada and a number of others have all canceled flights to and from china so that industry is

taking a big hit the tourism industry around the world is going to be taking a big hit because rupe tourists from china have been banned by the order of the government in beijing. furthermore places like that's a major industrial city and with the city locked down and in foreign seen people are not going to their jobs to their factories to produce goods and and and provide services for the rest of the world it is a globalized world as you mentioned china is the 2nd largest economy you cannot simply cut china out of the global economy without some serious consequences already on friday we saw shares dropping on wall street on asian markets a very sharp drop off markets open about 24 hours from now in new york and we will wait and see what the impact is on the new york stock exchange but

in terms of the general global economy this is a problem. rob rails that thanks for that. africa is also dealing with the spread of the virus a correspondent catherine saw is in nairobi she says the threats have created a virus is causing particular concern in regions already affected by both. there's a lot of concerns that have been raised by people living in countries on the continent who are quite worried about how prepared their countries are to deal with coronavirus that's why we see many statements that have been issued by countries in different regions of particularly since statements from kenya and ethiopia all of them trying to assure their citizens that who all is well talking about increased measures talking about increased surveillance border screening screening in all border points and this is something that has been going on from before especially

in this region because of an airball outbreak in the democratic republic of congo's so government officials i've talked to saying that they're just enhancing these measures in kenya they also say they have expanded the capacity of isolation wards just in case we've also seen several national airlines like wonder and kenya suspending flights to china kenya has suspended flights to one zoo there's also this risk on sand that if you open your lines particularly which is one of the largest airlines on the continent has said it's going to continue with its life to people particularly in ethiopia very concerned about that and it's also important to note there are many many africans working and studying in. china there are about 5000 students in one alone it's been an around the clock mission to build those 2 new hospitals or more specifically for treating patients in surgery with the coronavirus the 1st was built in just 10 days and will open on

monday it'll be run by china's military a 2nd hospital is nearly finished and should be operational by wednesday military deployment was ordered by president xi jinping. dr mohamad monier is a lecturer of or all of g. at lancaster university joins us now on skype good to have you with us what do you make so far of the response to the virus a lot of the emphasis being put on restriction particularly of restriction of travel yeah well this is a virus with month history a completely new virus and we have not seen this one before overall the response has been overwhelming right from the report of the data onto it iris which as a whole of the scientific community to develop a diagnostic assay and all diagnostic assets are not being applied in different countries to money to their disease. about one thing that became very important

nowadays is really onto the travel restrictions so if we look really how the virus has surprised from the beginning why this has been surprising clue for travelers 2000 years from china to other countries so anything that is related to money train and also sort of so containing the movement is really helpful too to sort of restrict the sort of the spread of the virus do you think it's time for health checks before boarding an aircraft become a travel standard just as security checks and immigration checks are the people should expect to walk through i don't know body heat detection machines or do other medical checks for you can get on a flight. well that is no minimum requirement especially for the countries that do not have a mellow cape to health care infrastructure and normally those poor countries but

also in the developed the word i think the major concern at this moment is really to identify the people who can share the virus a video showing any clinical sign so much scanning is is the minimum basic requirement however i have always been saying that there should be an exit screening sporadically any person was troubling from china should be screened before they are allowed to travel one of the primary reasons for this one has been is that if we are going to deploy the entry screening system that would need that means that every country who are receiving passengers from china directly or indirectly they need to deploy that would be a massive burden onto the infrastructure but having an exit screening would be a really a solution to or to help the. trouble of the passengers no one know what you may call so of reports that some hospitals pick the one in thailand the patently there are others in china mixing drugs to treat hiv and

drugs to treat flu that's proving a useful successful caulks hail in countering the corona virus is a cure emerging all beginning to emerge. well we have been looking into it i mean we mean scientific community and my group specifically on to the vaccine we have been looking into this solutions and immediate solutions for can that for sort of restricting the refutation of this infection especially in people who are already in fact and so i have gone through that information after entally and it is like this that any antiviral that is having approval and history abode and you are a lock to be against a virus must have some sort of a minnow stimulate reactivity so it can stimulate the immune system so if any and you are or can be used it could help to sort of reduce the risk of other infections however specifically looking onto the end you are on there isn't any specific

antiviral available for discourse on the virus so animals so not only just that an empty bottle applied on one or 2 people that would be sufficient or not to sort of declare that it is sufficient and that proficient enough to block the infection it has to be done on a larger cord and it has to be a state's distinctly significant well years and that can really demonstrated that it could be effective but as it stands now we don't have any antiviral available that could be attractively inhibiting the replication of that are as in pain and in fact a patient or i thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on that now china's central bank says it will inject on $173000000000.00 into the economy on monday buckets of being clothes for the low lunar new year holiday but that was extended because of the outbreak many stores have also been shot and china's the crisis worsens cities have been placed under lockdown the government is promising

to help struggling companies d'antoni ak is a senior fellow at the center for international governance innovation a says the outbreak will have a significant impact on global supply chains. there are various it businesses around the world globally which are reliant on imports from chinese factories that are being shut down so for the 1st quarter it will seal a lot of red ink slow down and then the real question is how quickly this is contained and whether or not there is a rebound and from as a growth stand point of view what really matters is whether or not we are seeing those factories going people are staying home right now they're not shopping the lunar new year is of course a major period when. shopping is done and when firms realize their profits for the year so this is doubly damaging on that perspective but the hospitality industry around the world which now has come to rely on chinese

tourists is also will be feeling the pinch here and the financial support from government can stem the damage to companies on their bottom lines it doesn't generate economic activity in the meantime. play more still ahead on the use hour including fears of an escalation the turkish military threatens to intervene against the syrian government offensive in a global. war by other means israel tightens the blockading gaza and targets farmers in the occupied west bank. in sport find out which team came out on top in the hotkeys battle of alberta. protesters in iran denouncing the appointment of a new prime minister demonstrators have been marching in several cities including baghdad and not just former communications minister mohammad allow he was named

prime minister designate on saturday he's promising reforms and an early election for protesters say greater political changes needed rockers faced months of mass protests against corruption unemployment and poor government services spawned a faltering reports from baghdad. i was 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 salih chose mohamed allow it to replace other law of the mahdi who resigned 2 months ago amid a widespread anti-government protests days prior to allow his appointment we spoke to protesters in tahrir here 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 on the government start stage 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 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 side or throw his weight behind him. i don't think he has support from all the political blocs but they are important political forces and i expect that the sudras movement will stand with him and if that's the case the other political blocs will do the sign for 4 months protesters have asked for a complete overhaul of the political system and then in the pan then 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 end the months of deadlock and pave the way for early elections and gradual reform. some wonderful team joins us now

live from baghdad to be in plenty of protests against the new prime minister what impact is that having on our louay. well student protesters turned out in large numbers today skipping class just ahead of a midterm exam to voice their disapproval of mohamed allowing now we have seen student protests. quite frequently over the past few months what is particularly not for free today is that they turned out in the streets despite mounting political opposition to the protests and that opposition is surprisingly coming from shiite cleric mosques that the solder who until recently supported the protest movement and protected the protesters he said today that anybody who is disrupting classes who is disrupting education and was blocking roads should be dealt with and punished and in fact his followers cooperated with security forces to open some of the roads and bridges that have been closed for the past few months but these

student protesters remain very much opposed to seeing a certain pleasure in the protest movement between the protesters who are not aligned with looks at the site or who oppose mohamed allow is nomination and on the other hand the followers of look to the side of who have on and off taken part in these demonstrations who of course support him because my father himself and the horse candidate so it remains to be seen how these dynamics on the streets will play out whether set aside or follow such as followers will in fact be able to control the protest movement and to scale down on some of the opposition that we have been experiencing. some oh no there is the question of course of parliament him getting approval from parliament with the protests going on like this what are the expectations for the parliamentary approval process. well not that asserted to throw his weight behind allowing he also controls one of the

biggest blocks in parliament which is called on they were in fact they won the $2800.00 parliamentary elections but however they are not the largest bloc in parliament that block is led by backed political groups and at least some factions within the bloc have worth their opposition to allow it now we haven't seen a lot of statements come out of the now which is this biggest block we've only had a statement today saying that they will not be suggesting any candidates for the ministerial positions so it remains to be seen whether we'll in fact approve mohamed allowing of course that will only become clear once the prime minister designate actually present his cabinet to the parliament which here to within 30 days and that parliament will then vote on his cabinet which will also be so to say the vote of confidence towards the prime minister himself. in thanks so much

syria's government russian forces are intensifying airstrikes and the ground offensive in the cities of and aleppo the bombardment is forcing many to flee towards the turkish border where the turkish army is also sending a military convoy with reinforcements 100 reports. smoke darkens the skies above aleppo's countryside syrian russian backed forces have launched an offensive to seize the area syrian armed groups the large sharma's fighting back. the new battlefront is close to the capital damascus in the north. but civilians are caught in the fighting. my uncle's house was hit by a missile and his wife was in the kitchen and she was killed the strike was so severe that the missile penetrated into the lower floor. government forces have been making important gains most recently the town of moderates.

nearby and stark heb fighting is also taking place in densely populated areas that's despite a cease fire deal agreed between turkey and russia it's another strategic town as it's near the m 4 highway that runs west to east across. the casualty numbers are growing on. a center for rescue workers the white helmets was reduced to rubble and some wounded. fighting has extended to the northwestern town. which was under eisel control 3 years ago one missile hit the turkish baths free syrian army and opposition positions. turkey has since sent a military reinforcements to president. on friday that turkey could intervene if the violence escalates. strikes and

a ground advance by the syrian government has given people only one option to flee . packing their cars and trucks with whatever they can carry. others haven't had homes for years forced to move on to other places several times now some live in makeshift camps on the side of the road ran by about i don't know where we are i don't even know which ways and with a sound we all suffered so much and. with all the airstrikes. we don't get help we'll go to sleep hungry we don't own anything we can't afford to buy food. and the young are suffering the most the u.n. says the situation is turning into a crisis for children more than 6500 have been forced from their homes in the past week there are about 3000000 people in this area these are people these are civilians who are trapped in a war zone so you know this is why we're so shocked and horrified at the continued

military onslaught on the civilian population because you know the international humanitarian law must apply aid groups say the rational to just a food water and medicine and if the bombardment doesn't stop it could soon create one of syria's west humanitarian disasters mohammed al jazeera. 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 boy called of israeli coward traders palestinians export millions of dollars worth of farm produce to israel every year and israel has stopped the delivery of cement into gaza and put 500 businesses business permits on hold it's another setback for those in the strip who live in dire conditions after 13 years

of blockade stephanie decker has more from gaza city news of u.s. president donald trump so-called deal of the century reached 1500 kilometers away here in northern gaza after all this is where it's all about. but she's more concerned with providing for her 6 children cooking gas is the latest shortage so she has to cook outside using collected wood lot. of people want to be able to feed their children to have a dignified life and a future for their kids some people went out to protest against the deal sure but what's more important for us is better living conditions hopefully one day things will get better. but there is no sign of that israel's blockade of gaza is into its 13th here the water supply is sporadic as is electricity sanitation is an issue and there is widespread poverty and unemployment the shop

with the images that. people need solutions i need money jobs to be able to provide for their families everyone is taking out loans and can't repay them i've only had one client since this morning. our own 2000000 people are stuck here in the gaza strip a tiny shut off piece of land where no one can leave without. permission and most people have never left at all the united nations issued a report 8 years ago predicting that gaza would become quote unlivable by 2020 while it is 2020 and still no political solution in sight and judge shower tells me that this plan offered no new ideas and nothing that the palestinians could take as a starting point to work with this will lead more and more. anger for more. actions from the different political groups from the individuals.

there's been a slight increase in cross border tensions in the last few days a cycle of escalation and shaky truce is that everyone here has had to become used to. reiterate what so many others have told us to people are fed up with their leaders. no one. i blame the officials who are sitting on their chairs and don't care about us even her masters and care about us they're enjoying their good lives in their homes while our children can't get through. gaza needs a long term political solution one that allows freedom of movement and the building of infrastructure needed to sustain 2000000 people one that creates jobs and opportunities people tell us they just want to be able to breathe but what this so-called deal of the century does manage to do is highlight just how very far off that political solution is stephanie decker al-jazeera gaza. now there have been protests outside the u.s.

towards armenia pushing across as a job and a georgia but for many say this dry and 5 is dry and 5 across north africa not too much going on here at present so some warm sunshine coming through temperatures around the 20 degree mark my just want to showers around eritrea the ethiopian is pushing down into we're kenya uganda could catch one or 2 showers a slide there way over towards the gulf of guinea but for much of west africa warm sunshine hot sunshine for some we have seen some record breaking heat in a recent days for the south while the showers continue across the tropics extending all the way into northern parts of tanzania. a journey of personal discovery by a great grandfather he was a slave of the only property al-jazeera is james gunn and expose his family's legacy of slave owners shut down like my family's status and while for has

welcome back you're watching al-jazeera reminded now of our top stories nearly 1500 chinese dramatics of being deployed to a newly built hospital to treat coronavirus patients and then in the philippines has become the 1st person to die outside china death toll is now $304.00. protesters in iran denouncing the appointment of mohamed tawfik we as a new prime minister have been marching in several cities including baghdad. and niger and now is a former communications minister. the turkish military said another convoy towards province in syria that's where government forces backed by russia are on tens of firing in assault against rebel forces activists say 9 people were killed by a strikes on sunday. the corona virus outbreak has led to complaints about horizon

anti chinese sentiment in france for example the hash tag i'm not a virus is being used to share stories of discriminatory treatment from subways to schoolyards media outlets across europe and australia are facing criticism for cartoons and had lines that reinforce old anti asian stereotypes in japan some stores of place signs in their windows banning chinese people from entering and brian levin is the director of the center for the study of hate and extremism at california state university san bernardino he says misinformation has a big part to play. we have you know what folks have called for sometime a pyramid of prejudice and at the lowest level is kind of avoidance and passive rejection and then the next level is discrimination so unfortunately what we have

is a what we call a printed circuit of stereotypes now that are identifying conflating asian people and specifically chinese people with some kind of risk for for there's a coronavirus prejudice works with regard to its depth to some people might just be honestly fearful but ignorant and we're in a very tribal and polar ice time where the information flow sometimes is stove pipe where people are talking to other conspiracists or ignorant people and what we've learned is that if people feel fear we have we have 3 parts of prejudice one is the the cognitive how we experience and perceive something the other is how emotionally we feel about it and then how do we behaviorally respond to it and unfortunately when there is a surfeit of ignorance that will allow that will be like a funnel that will allow these other negative stereotypes to take root that's why

it's so important for government agencies and officials to be ahead of the way that and explain as best they can about the risks indeed the united states we have thousands upon thousands of people die from the traditional flu every year so we have to put it in some kind of perspective when we're reporting these kinds of things. in the u.s. democratic hopefuls are making their final pitch to voters ahead of monday's presidential nominating process all 11 candidates in the state of ohio each has traditionally does a vital launching point so burial ground for presidential campaigns there's no clear front runner in this vast field poll suggests senator bernie sanders is a narrow lead of the former vice president joe biden sanders and biden the views that rallies to take a swipe at president. iowa is a small state but it's important in the election process whoever wins that could

have huge momentum al-jazeera as john hendren explains. every 4 years iowa jealously guards the gateway to the white house iowa has done a good job of narrowing the field and i think iowans know we aren't selecting the nominees or selecting the president we're helping test who has a good message that resonates across the parties who will do well on a national stage and iowa votes in its own peculiar way the iowa caucuses here at the state historical museum of iowa what they're trying to explain it with an exhibit it works like this unlike political party primaries run by the state with secret ballots driven by t.v. ads. the iowa caucuses are run by the democratic and republican parties for republicans by secret ballot for democrats publicly. iowans demand hand to hand contact iowa his turn underdogs like jimmy carter and barack obama up

into winners. and bernie sanders headquarters there looking to redeem a stinging loss in 2016 and the self-proclaimed socialist revolutionary and establishment candidate joe biden are trading frontrunner status. the caucuses don't work like voting in most states with primaries on secret ballots. publicans will caucus too mostly for president donald trump democrats will argue for their candidates will bigger then vote this year iowa has new rules some caucuses are so small voters putting name in a hat if any of those candidates get less than 15 percent of the vote those votes are tossed out and those voters pick their 2nd choice but this year there's a twist in order to be more transparent i would democrats are disclosing not just the delegate total but also the wrong vote totals so conceivably more than one candidate could claim victory that means the effort to be more transparent could

lead to more confusion. the caucuses are often criticized as not particularly representative in a largely white agricultural state nor democratic with low turnout dominated by political activists i do feel that it's unfair to a lot of people who are able to take away from take time awful flirt to participate in it but because it 1st iowa sways the nation give people with fewer resources the opportunity to present themselves and eventually get the resources that they need to run in the bigger places from these frozen fields someone will carry the momentum to the next states and just possibly the white house john hendren which is era des moines iowa well scott lucas is a professor of american politics at the university of birmingham and joins us on skype from birmingham good to have you with us so it's iowa caucus time what do you

expect will come out what sort of indication do you think iowa will give us. it's wide open it's not just joe biden the former vice president or bernie sanders the 2016 candidate we've got a top tier that includes senator elizabeth warren. the mayor from south bend indiana and with the surge in the last 2 weeks in the polls senator amy klobuchar of minnesota so it could well be that sanders and biden are the top 2 and take that momentum and in new hampshire the 1st primary next week well i fully expect it won't just be those 2 that you could have a war on or about as even maybe a close which are who claims a significant as it were a victory basically of you know a share of the vote which is about 15 percent above 20 percent and some delegates and the race goes on i fully expect this democratic primary although some call it confusing i think to be very illuminating in terms of issues and you go all the way

until at least super tuesday in early march with states like california coming into the mix there are those who believe when it comes to bernie sanders his real obstacle is the democrats think is dabbling in what do you expect iowa to tell us about that question i don't like this whole center versus left narrative this idea of moderates versus socialist at the end of the day all of the democratic candidates in the debates have brought the south have been dealing with issues like health care issues like education issues like economic justice climate change and those issues i think can go beyond a center versus locked in terms of who's most capable with handling those challenges as well as dealing with donald trump in the final race for the white house so sanders has got his strengths he does have witnesses but the same is true of all the other candidates i don't think this is an establishment versus outsider question and we really shouldn't treat it as such all right what do you make of michael bloomberg candidacy in the fight he's joining things

a little bit later than some of the others in the. good luck to him mike bloomberg has decided look i won't deal with iowa i won't deal with new hampshire next week even though those are the traditional 2 states to get everything rolling he's not even competing in south carolina nevada he doesn't come again and till super tuesday on cheap on of the 1st week of march with about 1213 states including california coming up in other words his strategy is to simply try to take it all over by spending about $200000000.00 in ads so far nobody has come in late since bobby kennedy in 1908 succeeded and to show you why i think bloomberg is more of a media block rather than a serious runner the latest california poll he got exactly 4 percent a month respondents never say never in american politics especially after the last 4 years but i think bloomberg is more of a sideshow than the real deal all right thanks so much scott lucas the thank you. now protests isn't jordan calling

a deal that will see israel $10000000000.00 worth of gas into the country an enemy invasion although jordan has a peace treaty with israel it's also home to the largest population of palestinians outside the occupied territory a touch of what i am has been speaking to those rallying against the deal non-money . protesters describe it as an enemy invasion of every jordanian home by accepting natural gas from israel to generate electricity they say each time they turn on their lights they'll be giving the israeli government money does deal it's like literally it's like funding the zionism project and palestine which is like it's funding is really like governments on like who are like you know. the human rights unlike a killed by the syrian people last month and israeli american consortium began pumping natural gas from a pipeline in the mediterranean sea to jordan since the public 1st learned about
