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 do this also this response and that if european airlines particularly which is one of the largest airlines on the continent has said it's going to continue with its 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. the turkish military has sent reinforcements to northern syria it's warning it ly intervene in the government's offensive in aleppo and activists saying 9 civilians

worst humanitarian disasters. al-jazeera. protesters in iraq are denouncing the appointment of a new prime minister they've been marching in several cities including baghdad nasiriyah and. former communications been a sim howlett loveliness named honey is a designate on saturday is promising reforms and an early election but protests to say greater political change is what's needed so mona fulton is in baghdad she says the opposition to allow it was expected but his appointment does seem to have split the protest as. the opposition to allowing was known the well before he was appointed and still president barham saleh went ahead and designated him the new prime minister doesn't that perhaps because he was the only candidate that the president thought the parties could agree on now he's unlikely to reverse that

decision where we have to wait is how parliament will react the next 30 days parliament will have to meet and vote on the cabinet that allows put together which will then essentially decide whether or not the prime minister has the confidence of the political establishment but in the meantime or drifting on the streets with a split within the protests from what we're seeing on the one hand he didn't he came out today opposing allow we are on the other hand we have the followers of he had a cleric knocks out a set of one so now we're supporting and protecting the protest movement and they have come out in support of allowing what it seems to be happening now is that makes us better off course to lose weight behind the law and try to basically limit any opposition in the streets to allow weaker we have to see how that will but play out but we're seeing a lot of opposition to allow it among the protesters among the students and they are determined to keep going until their demands are met and these demands are a complete overhaul of the political system and an independent candidate who does

that sort of not represent the political establishment that is in place so far. israel has stopped the delivery of cement into gaza and put 500 business permits on hold it's another setback for those in the strip who continue to live and die conditions after 13 years of blockade stephanie decker has more now from gaza city news of u.s. president donald trump so-called deal of the century reached 9500 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 would. still have to 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 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 israel or egypt 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 and 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 use 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 hamas doesn't 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. still ahead on the program complicated process of electing a u.s. president we explain how iowa chooses its candidates. and the traditional posture a style it's been included on a prestigious united nations registry. hello again welcome back to international weather forecast well here across southeastern australia much better weather over the next few days now we did have some very windy conditions as well as some rain pushing through along this frontal boundary

that is going to continue to make its way towards the northeast and we're going to be seeing those showers really along the coast so for sydney expect to see the showers here on monday down towards the south though a big drop in temperature for melbourne only getting to 18 here on monday and that front continues to make its way towards the north on tuesday up towards brisbane also across the tasman sea that front will cause a big problem over here towards new zealand we're talking christ church really seeing a change of weather really a very stormy conditions as we go towards tuesday very windy temps are starting on monday at 34 degrees but by the time we get towards wednesday dropping down to about 90 degrees there and then here across the northern part of japan we're going to be seeing a system coming across the sea of japan and with it we could be seeing some snow as well as well as some cold air over the next few days sapporo minus 2 is your high with some snow in the forecast there but for tokyo we are seeing attempters drop down to about 11 and heavy rain across much of southern china over the next few days also cooler over here towards taipei a rainy day few there but not too bad over here toward shanghai we do expect to see

with al jazeera live from london a look at the headlines now a lockdown has been imposed on a 2nd major city in china as authorities try to contain the coronavirus the eastern city of one joe is home to 9000000 people and a 100 kilometers from the han by the virus was discovered more than 300 people have died from the virus in china so far syria's government and russian forces are intensifying as strikes in a ground offensive in the cities of live in aleppo united nations says almost 7000 people have been forced from their homes in the past week and then protesters in iraq are denouncing the appointment of a tough economy as the prime minister designate he's promising reforms in an early election but demonstrators are calling for greater political change in the country . now here in london police have shot dead a man off to 2 people was stabbed on a busy street it's believed the assailant had recently been released from prison

police say the incident in the southern suburb of stratham was terrorism related catherine stansell reports. was. a moment of panic on a bustling streets in south london police target a man suspected of stopping 2 people within minutes he was shocked at. people ran into shops for shelter well armed officers cleared the area within an hour police declared it a terrorist related incident and. this is the 1st such attack to happen in a relatively unknown london suburb and it's shaken the people here. credibly shocked and devastated that we should. patent in this in from here in stress and we pride ourselves on being close inclusive welcoming community and so many people from so many different backgrounds living in a very harmoniously together it's a place where you just wouldn't expect this to happen i think it's you know obviously that was like one street away from where you live it makes you feel a bit unsafe because you know if we had left the house 10 minutes earlier we would

have been here as it was happening rather than you know just as ad finished you know it's it makes just feel yet very different say foreign 6 teams remain at the scene combing the area for clues police are trying to determine a motive and whether the man acted alone politicians took to twitter including the british prime minister who extended his sympathy to those affected and london mayor city khan who said terrorists seek to divide us and destroy our way of life here in london we will never let them succeed. police say the suspect was under surveillance at the time of the attack which may explain the quick police response this is the 2nd terrorism related stabbing incident in london in just over 2 months as it's likely to put in months pressure on 4th johnson and his government to do more to prevent such attacks in the future if it's done so al jazeera london the

2020 u.s. election is so far been dominated by democratic presidential hopefuls but on a monday in iowa voters get a chance to take part they'll be meeting out more than 600 sites to choose their preferred candidate john hendren explains now from the state capital des moines. 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 number in fact 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 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. as the caucuses don't work like voting in most states with primaries and secret ballots republicans will caucus too 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 put a 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 off of work to participate in an office 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 own jersey or des moines iowa and out there is alan fischer

joins us now from des moines less than 24 hours ago alan before the 1st votes has have their say in the nominating process tell us more about what the candidates up to today how they're making their case to voters. well it's the last day of full campaigning for many of the candidates and of course the 4 senators who are involved in the race including 2 of the front runners elizabeth warren and bernie sanders the heading back to washington tonight so they can be in the senate for the next stage of the impeachment trial and then their plan is at the end of business on monday wolf why back to iowa to thank supporters depending on the result there are many events like this across the state this is the progress iowa super bowl watch party you can see the big progress sign and to the right you can see the t.v. which will be showing the super bowl but you don't just get away from the politics here 5 of the campaigns are going to be speaking we're going to have andrew young's

campaign here and a few others including bernie sanders but the big draw is going to be elizabeth warren herself she's coming along here early sanders not very far from here is who will be used on super bowl watch party and he's been drawing really big crowds particularly over the last couple of days and he's obviously hoping that he is going to do well in the caucuses which are just about 24 hours away no. 24 hours away and it's not clear. who the winner is going to be tell us more about the polls and what's been happening that. well there's normally a big pull that comes out on the saturday night before the caucus and that's posted by the des moines register unfortunately they had to cancel the poll because they found out that at least one instance when someone was asking the questions they didn't mention people choose one of the front runner so they couldn't be certain

about the quality of the results so they essentially said well we're not putting the poll that through everyone for a loop because that is normally the thing that all the campaigns look for because it gives a rough indication of how things are doing 12 years ago that was the poll that said barack obama is doing better than you expect 8 years ago the 1st time i came here i told is that rick santorum could be a surprise he ended up beating mitt romney in winning so what's going to happen well we know that donald trump is going to win the republican side even though his 2 points are here campaigning that's a foregone conclusion what's going to happen on the democratic side well if you look at the latest polls bernie sanders is subject he's definitely has the momentum he looks like the front runner joe biden has dropped back a bit in the last couple of days elizabeth warren she's doing very well people expect her to finish in the top 3 and then with 1110 other candidates who are here michael bloomberg didn't register in time to get into the race in iowa it's going

to be a bit of a battle people but a judge has to finish in the top 4 or for him his political ambitions are all done and the person to watch the state always through is opposite price i would suggest is him equal bashar who is a senator from the next door state people in the border areas know her very well because she's on t.v. there all the time and that leaks over into iowa and also in the last 3 polls hard numbers have gone up giving her supporters the chance to say that she has close mentum terrible phrase but she's actually doing quite well if she finishes 4th that will be a big big win for her so you don't have to win in iowa to be a winner but will be interesting to see who actually talks the poll and if we get voting when we get voting numbers not if we get the numbers when we get voting numbers for the 1st time and the democratic caucus might not be the only touching phrase in the campaign thank you very much allan in the morning. well now france is deploying $600.00 more soldiers to africa's sawhill region to fight groups french
