suspected cases officials they're concerned poor countries are ill equipped to deal with any outbreak and a growing number of airlines are suspending services to and from china meanwhile south korea the philippines and new zealand for banned people who have recently traveled there from entering. more now from scott heide now with this report from beijing. one of the purpose built coronavirus hospitals and will hand will open 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 one 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 there. were. 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 were turned the others not for another week at least businesses and private enterprises are doing so. 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 oblique exposed can get tested to try and prevent the virus from spreading further it's got hotter al-jazeera beijing let's bring in rob is live for us in washington d.c. and rob as these restrictions come into place for anyone coming in and out of china how much concern is that raising about the impact shutting out the world's 2nd largest economy will have. well that's certainly a very can concerning thing for people around the world though the u.s. council of economic advisers and some of the advisers to the president from were

meeting at the white house over the past several days they believe that if the outbreak does not. sort of but task the size in an extremely awful way that it will not cause a massive slump worldwide but there are a lot of ifs in that production and that prediction meanwhile here in the u.s. the number of people with confirmed cases of coronavirus stands at 8 the latest being a young man in boston massachusetts who had recently traveled to china you know the united states is one of those countries that has barred foreign nationals who recently visited china from entering the country and there are many flights that have either been canceled altogether or or cut back from the major airlines like american airlines united airlines delta airlines all. carriers that have extensive business with china and you mentioned sami 14000.

confirmed cases right now there is a medical team working in hong kong that published its research in the prestigious journal the lancet saying that according to their calculations the virus doubles every 6.4 days so you can do the math there and it's not very reassuring meanwhile there was a senior white house official today speaking about the outbreak this is from let's listen now to robert o'brien the national security advisor and president trumps white house. this is a worldwide concern we want to help our chinese colleagues if we can and and will say we've made the offer and we'll see if they accept the offer but but this is this is serious is serious for china serious for the region and for the world that's why we're taking the steps we're taking to protect americans right now meanwhile the government scientists and some pharmaceutical countries companies

around the world are working on a virus vaccine for the corona virus but even if they are able to come up with one quickly the amount of time spent in human trials and government regulatory approval process means that any. any vaccine for the corona virus would probably be months if not more than a year away from widespread distribution or rob rials that thanks for that well africa is also dealing with this threat of the virus our correspondent catherine saw is in nairobi she says the threat of coronaviruses calls in particular concern regions already affected by a boa. and there's a lot of concern 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

corner virus that's why you see in 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 hall is while 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 this 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 do this also this response and that if european allies 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 $5000.00 students in one alone china's central bank says it will inject $173000000000.00 into the economy on monday markets have been closed for the lunar new year holiday but that was extended because of the outbreak many stores have also been shot in china as the crisis worsens cities placed on the lockdown the government is promising to help struggling companies. down to the act is a senior fellow at the center for international governance innovation is as the outbreak will have a significant impact on the global supply chains there are various it businesses around the world globally which are relying on inputs from chinese factories that are being shut down so for the 1st quarter will steal

a lot of red ink slowdown and then the real question is how quickly this is contained and whether or not there is a rebound and from his a growth stand point of view what really matters is whether or not we're seeing those factories going people are staying home right now they're not shopping the lunar new year is of course a meijer period when. shopping is done and when realize their profits for the year so this is doubly damaging from that perspective but the hospitality industry around the world which now has come to rely on chinese tourists is also be feeling the pinch share and while financial support from government can stem the damage to companies on their bottom lines it doesn't generate economic activity in the meantime. plenty more still ahead on the news hour including of an escalation the turkish military threatens to intervene against the syrian government offensive in they'd live in war by other means israel

tightness the blockade on gaza targets farmers in the occupied west bank in sport find out which team came out on top in the hockey's battle of alberta. protesters in iraq are denouncing the appointment of a new prime minister demonstrators have been marching in several cities including baghdad nasiriyah former communications minister allawi was named prime minister designate on saturday he's from a single forms and an early election but protesters say greater political change is needed rockets faced months of mass protests against corruption unemployment and poor government services simona 14 is live for us in baghdad so how are all the

protests impacting his chances of being sworn in. or rather these cabinet beings being approved by. what we've seen a pretty big show of defiance on the streets today with many students turning out to voice their disapproval of mohamed allowing. the new prime minister but at the same time there is also growing fear that now that a new prime minister has been appointed there may be increasing steps to try to end the protest movement and spoken to several protesters who are into here and that fear at the moment is not so much coming from the government security forces who are blamed for a violent crackdown on the protesters over the past few months but it's actually coming from the sudras movement which is a movement led by that outsider and which until recently supported the protest movement and protected it now about a week ago we've juvies support from the protesters his followers left but now they are bad and there are increasing tensions between the followers of mr savva and the

protesters we understand that the followers of that are sort of of course supported mohamed allowing as the prime minister in line with looked at a satirist and the worst moment of the new prime minister designate but on the other hand you have the forestry who oppose him so there are increasing tensions between these 2 sides and there are growing fears on the part of protesters that the followers of moderate outsider may actually try in some way to end these demonstrations or at least to limit that much that assad himself. spoke with today he said that he would encourage punishments of any students from the classes or he would actually punish anybody who is blocking roads so there is a lot of expectation of what might happen overnight and what might happen tomorrow that there might actually be some kind of steps taken to end the protests when the in terms of the actual inauguration of mohamed allow as prime minister will have to wait until he puts forth his cabinet that cabinet will have to be approved by

parliament and that should happen within the next 30 days. all right thanks so much simona faulty in. well police in london. to 3 people were injured in the stabbing it's mostly poles and police will be called a terrorism related incident. in the. stress of. death and stansell joins us now from london so it will details emerging on the suspect who was shot. yes well 1st of all i would just like to mention that one of the people who are injured is suffering from life threatening injuries in hospital and while police say that the incident itself is over this cordon is still in place a forensic team forensics teams are on the scene here and they're expected to be here through the night to continue their investigation now security sources are

saying that this was and is famous for later the talk police confirming within an hour of the incident that this was terrorism related it was after the man was shot police had urged everyone on the streets to take shelter in the various shops here because there was a worry that the suspect an explosive device around his chest or in his. later confirmed that's the explosive device he. actually wasn't viable. now if this attack happened during a very busy afternoon this is a very busy shopping area full of shops and so people in this area were absolutely terrified and shocked that something like this could happen here and their neighborhood politicians have been speaking out for us johnson has just returned

from his country home back to downing street taking to twitter 'd saying it is thoughts are with the victims and the effected by this incident and the london mayor city. john issuing a statement saying that terrorists seek to divide us and destroy our way of life here in london and we will never let them succeed now you will remember that it was just over 2 months ago that there was a terrorist related stopping attack monday and bridge where 2 people died so leaders here are trying to really easily imply 80 people in london. thanks so much for that catherine stance. well a few minutes after that attack was taking place in london belgium police shot a person who reportedly stabbed 2 people on a busy street ghent according to local media the suspect was not killed and has been taken into custody. the turkish military is send reinforcements to northern

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 when we're about i don't know where we are i don't even know which ways and that sound we all suffered so much and. with all the airstrikes and all marble and 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 are 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 russians just a food water and medicine and if the bombardment doesn't stop it could soon create one of syria's worst humanitarian disasters mohammed al jazeera. an israeli ban on palestinian agricultural producers go into effect israel's defense minister says the import ban is in response to a palestinian boycott of israeli cal trader's palestinians export millions of dollars worth of farm produce to israel every year and there's rows also stop the delivery of cement into gaza as well as placing 500 business permits on hold it's another setback for those in the strip who live in dire conditions after 13 years of blockade 70 deca 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. jobs to be able to provide for their families everyone has taken 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. of the actions from the different political groups in the same time from the individuals. there's been a slight increase in cross border tensions in the last few days a cycle of escalation and shaky truces 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. 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 food. 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. they've also been protests outside the u.s. embassy in lebanon hundreds gathered in beirut to rally against tom's proposed middle east demonstrates and set fire to a banner outside the compound as that in these troops and riot police looked.

protesters in jordan are calling a deal that will see israel pump $10000000000.00 worth of gas into the country and and the mean invasion. has a peace treaty with israel it's also home to the largest population of palestinians outside the occupied territory but the actual name has been speaking to those rallying against the deal and. 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 is like literally it's like funding the zionism project in palestine which is like it's funding is really like government like or like you know violate 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 the deal in 2014 protesters ranging from palestinian refugees to members of parliament have united in opposition even if we are poor we cannot exchange our community and we cannot change our rights with the wealth with with it anyway and this is what we when we think we can survive jordan relies on imports to meet its energy needs it also survives on foreign aid it's waiting for the i.m.f. to inject a loan into its economy the government says this 10000000000 dollar 15 year deal with israel is the cheapest cleanest and most reliable option it has at the moment and it could decrease the cost of electric bills which jordanian say is too high. jawad and is a former deputy prime minister he. says until jordan can become energy independent

the israeli pipeline offers the best alternative it will be pumped as guess and it will reach us as gas so there is no need to liquefy it and leave us a fight. and that would have saved so much on the course as long as there's a nice peace with job i think of jordan stability as. helpful to the israeli disappeared. i don't that they would would actually interrupt the guest supply protesters remain unconvinced and say they'll continue to try to halt the deal but public opinion may shift if you're a genius electricity bills start getting cheaper natasha going to aim al-jazeera man. israel has been transporting gas to its other labor in egypt since january the 20 1000000000 dollars deal is seen as one of the most important since the 2

you're watching al-jazeera time to recap on headlines now nearly 1500 chinese military medics are being deployed to a newly built hospital to treat coronavirus patients a man in the philippines has become the 1st person to die outside china the death toll is down $304.00. protestors in iraq are denouncing the appointment of mohamed tawfik allawi as the new prime minister had been marching in several cities including baghdad and not just. a place in london and shot dead a man after 3 people were injured in the stabbing attack person is in a life threatening condition quadripolar some police are calling it terrorism related incident. world health organization says it doesn't recommend trade and

travel restrictions in the wake of the outbreak so that hasn't stopped at least 22 countries from imposing some form of travel restrictions on people coming from china they include the united states israel the philippines australia singapore malaysia vietnam new zealand and north korea indonesia and iraq which are of issued temporary travel bans on people traveling or transmitting or transiting rather from the mainland china's neighbors like russia mongolia and the pole are closing their borders and checkpoints while others are introducing stricter controls in while single poor vietnam russia sri lanka bangladesh kazakstan and mozambique have temporarily stopped issuing visas to chinese nationals nearly 40 airlines from across the world has stopped or partially suspended operations to and from china something else appears to be spreading fast

to communities big and small due to ignorance and misinformation under schapelle has more. the corona virus outbreak has led to complaints about a rise in anti chinese sentiment around the world and france for example the hash tag i am not a virus is being used to share stories of bullying in school yards and city streets and of hostile treatment by the media a regional newspaper has had to apologize for this headline that use the phrase yellow alerts while scenes like this one you're about to see here are widespread of people appearing to cover their face just because they're sitting next to someone who's asian. only told. you so i was in the metro going to work and i sit down on the seat when the person sitting next to me moved over by a few centimeters i could have moved a few meters he would have but at least it was just a few centimeters but he didn't cover his mouth with the scuff i was shocked and speechless i didn't know why and i didn't want to fan the flames so i didn't say

anything but i really wanted to tell him what he done was an ok it's the 1st time it's happened to me of it when upset via we've seen the awakening of a latent racism which we already knew was that which is now completely out in the open which was a behavior that is disrespectful impolite or even clearly racist and media outlets across europe and australia are facing criticism for cartoons and headlines that reinforce old asian stereotypes as our business is like this nail salon in vietnam which has banned their chinese customers now these stories naturally make people feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome in their own communities brian levin is the director of the center for the study of hate and extremism at california state university san bernardino he says that ignorance and misinformation about the coronavirus has a big part supply prejudiced works with regard to its depth to some people might just be honest we fear full but ignorant and we're in a very tribal and polarized time where the information flow sometimes is still

piped 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 just one is the economy 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 it works only 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 wade 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 now in

the u.s. democratic hopefuls are making their final pitch to voters ahead of monday's presidential nominating process all 11 candidates are in the state of iowa which has traditionally there's a vital launching point told burial ground for presidential campaigns there is no clear front runner in this vast field but polls suggest the sand is has a narrow lead of a form of vice president joe biden both sanders and by who have used their rallies to take a swipe at president donald trump. i believe. that we cannot continue to have the president we use a pathological i was told that i was in the thousands of all eyes to see the president we cannot ministration were cheers go off because i don't know i don't know the situation which seems like. everyone

knows who donald trump is we have to let him know who we are we choose hope over fear we choose science over fiction we choose unity over division and guess what we chose truth only. so fall we've only heard from the u.s. democratic presidential hopefuls but on monday in iowa voters get their 1st chance to take up 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 for the iowa caucuses are run by the democratic and republican parties for republicans by secret ballot for democrats publicly. and iowans demand hand to hand contact ioway has turned underdogs like jimmy carter and barack obama. into winners. and bernie sanders headquarters they're looking to redeem a stinging loss in 2016 and the self-proclaimed socialist revolutionary and establishment candidate joe biden are trading front runner status. to the caucuses don't work like voting in most states with primaries on secret ballots republicans will caucus to mostly for president donald trump democrats will argue for their

candidate they'll bicker 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. as 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 off of work 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 and his ear des moines iowa oh pete tucker is a freelance journalist and political analyst he joins us live from washington d.c. good to have you with us 1st of all what do you think i was going to tell us about the democratic party's winners and losers well we'll see finally they'll be some votes cast and bernie sanders certainly is going in with some momentum spars recent polls and crowd size but. a lot to term and will be determined. with what iowans do tomorrow and we'll

see i think they can be a lot of analyzing that that has happened and will happen but it will be interesting to see what the voters do and that your segment pointed out that rightfully that it's an interesting situation where you don't have a huge turnout because it caucus are difficult to get to and i was not a particularly representative state but it certainly will set the the groundwork for what's to come what is said the groundwork as well for what some call the struggle between reformers in the democratic party and the establishment will center yeah. and we'll see how that we'll see how that plays out obviously bernie sanders and elizabeth warren have come on the scene in a big way and this election of course bernie's familiar from 2016 and the establishment wing whether it's biden or call bashar bluejay edge is well

represented as well so there's a lot going on and i think in addition to that the media. whether it's the washington post in new york times are especially as you've seen bernie served in the polls putting their finger on the scale and trying to ensure that. play a favor they would rather establishment win than bernie sanders or elizabeth warren so that's at play as well is the situation a little bit different this time around though compared to 2016 because some would say the reform a wing has evolved since the last election this squalled they see it all more and so on and so forth. well it's a it's more difficult to carry out the narrative that these are bernie bros you know pejorative that you heard in 2016 again and again and actually as bernie is

surge in the poll you've seen or surgeons of the use of that word as well not to the extent that was in 2016 and that's meant not so much to tarnish supporters of standards as much to keep their numbers from growing and it's hard to carry that out when you have strong women of color at the forefront of the standards campaign . the message is remarkably consistent from 2016 to 2020 when it comes to centers it's it's been for many many decades with him but yeah it's a different field and 2016 you had one very strong stablished candidate hillary clinton and here there is not one leading strong candidate biden maybe maybe but he's not in a position of strength the way hillary clinton was 4 years ago all right thanks so much for your analysis on that pizza. mike pump kazakstan to press china over its detention of we go muslims the u.s.
