china there are about 5000 students in one alone. well actually can is gina the university of nebraska college of public health research the coronavirus will be a stress test for public health capabilities worldwide. i think it's too premature to predict how long it's going to take the chinese to get this under control however has we have seen increasing restrictions of movements from people out of china i think we will see fewer and fewer cases outside of china at this point currently the reports are that approximately 2 percent of people with this disease are dying but i would not trust any of those numbers because we're not sure what the ability is to test everybody and who's being tested at this point killing 2 percent of people. public health people would prefer that that not burn itself out in a population of 6b6b to 7000000000 people so i think the effort still is
3:07 am
to try to contain this 1st obviously in countries that have had cases and then are back in china contain this in china so that it doesn't spread more widely yes we would love to have a vaccine we would love to have drugs that are available but those are likely months away from now so what we have available to us is good public health measures and that means identifying people who are sick getting them put into the correct in hospitals to take care of them making sure we're doing good contact tracing so it really all comes down to good public help. protesters in iraq are denouncing the appointment of a new prime minister demonstrations have been marching in several cities including baghdad that's now sphere and measure from a communications minister mohamed tawfik kolob he was named prime minister designate on saturday he's promising reforms and an early election well iran has

3:18 am
a patent on this should happen 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 may still be on safe because if we had left the house 10 minutes earlier we would have been here as it was happening rather than just as ad finished you know it's it makes just feel yet not very very safe. forensic teams remain at the scene coming the area for clues 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 this is the 2nd terrorism related stabbing incident in london in just over 2 months and it's likely to put in pressure on 4th johnson and his government to do more to
3:19 am
prevent such attacks in the future and so are there. at least 18 people have been killed by gunman in northern virginia faso armed men on motorbikes that's a village in the release of palisade north of the capital was good to go or became a fossil is among the countries in africa region but france is deploying $600.00 more troops to fight armed groups the french defense ministry says the soldiers would be sent to an area that also includes parts of mali and well france already has around $4500.00 military personnel in the region michael moore is a visiting fellow at the london school of economics he says french troops and african forces must cooperate if they're going to defeat zone groups in the so how . this particular issue is that it's an easy one to solve it's a very fast area unknown but enough assume. really it's really not well
3:20 am
police and the military capability to actually cover this white stretch is actually a challenge see you have this vast set of place and it's not very easy for all you know to have the capacity of many committee to actually cover the host traits i mean different special forces sound very well equipped and they have an intelligence as well as you know at the african forces swept in alongside them by a few glasses of vast area and you've got a set of jihad is a pattern that that is always going to be a tell a steep keeps things have been 8 the last meeting they having january was the center that there was going to be joints coalition forces sudanese joint commandos joint boots on the ground francis our forces mixed with african forces in order to actually be able to combat this you had this attack that i think previously it would not be a defense now forces were sort of acting on their own going where the light. were
3:21 am
ass some sort of intelligence wasn't quite been said and this seemed to be a separation of forces not think now they're overeating working together and actually concentrate their efforts in the uk tax against the slummy state and agreed to say as well last book o'hara. in the u.s. democratic hopefuls are making their final pitch to voters ahead of monday's presidential nominating process in the state of iowa and there's no clear front runner but pull such a sense of bernie sons is as a narrow leads over former vice president joe biden i was a small states fight it's important in the election process as john 100 explains. every 4 years iowa was 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 hoping test who has a good message that resonates across the parties who will do well on
3:22 am
a national stage in iowa votes in its own peculiar way the iowa caucuses here in 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 this state with secret ballots driven by t.v. ads numbered samples 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 iowa has turned underdogs like jimmy carter and barack obama. into winners. at 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. the caucuses don't work like voting in most states with primaries and secret ballots republicans
3:23 am
will caucus too mostly for president donald trump democrats will argue for their candidates bill bigger than 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 off work to participate in
3:24 am
this 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 era des moines iowa. around fischer has more from des moines where he says the campaigning has been intense. well it's really the last dot showing this many events as we can possibly get to elizabeth warren was literally just here she's heading back to d.c. in the next couple of hours along with 3 other senators who are running here in iowa they have got important senate business part of the impeachment trial on monday so they're trying to do as much as they can speak to as many voters as they can during pension is they will fly back at the close of business on monday to be
3:25 am
here for parties or weeks depending on the result and then they'll go back to washington d.c. for more of the same on choose the sushi really all about getting the messages but it's not just of course for senators we also vice president joe biden who's held events bernie sanders someone from his campaign will be speaking at half time this is progress iowa's super bowl watch party combining the 2 big events over the next 24 hours the american football game which is all on the t.v.'s all round here and of course the iowa caucuses which take place tomorrow night as hands of thousands of american football fans have gathered to watch the super bowl in miami where the kansas city chiefs are playing the san francisco 49 er's it's the nation's biggest sporting events for the 30 seconds television commercial costing 5000000 dollars some of the biggest spenders for us president donald trump as well as presidential hopeful michael bloomberg and the gallagher is in miami where he says the event is
3:26 am
about to much more than just sports. the game's going well and i have to say miami has been really building up to a frenzy over the last few days about $150000.00 extra people i've been reading that the average ticket price is closer to $7000.00 going up to $20000.00 designer cisco $49.00 ers are trying to go for their 6 victory kansas city chiefs haven't won since 1970 so there is a great deal of stake in now if you notice sportswriters plenty of other forms of entertainment and news came there is of course the hard time show was she keira and jennifer lopez and then there were those all important ads they all watched and repeated over and over again and that's important this year with just 10 months to go before the presidential election in that both donald trump and mind bloomberg are running those extremely expensive 32nd ads both opposing candidates one the president either one a democratic candidate for the presidency they are spending
3:27 am
a great deal of money but think about the viewing figures here last year they got about 98000000 viewers this year because it's going to be a tough a hard fought game that could well top over a 100000000 serious searching reaching almost a 3rd of the american population with your political ads so that just shows the kind of power this game has i asked a sports fan earlier what this really all about and they said in sporting terms this is like all your christmases come at once and of course this is the 11th time that this part of florida has hosted one of these games it's a huge boon for the local economy you can see this is just one of many private parties going on not just all across the country but all across the world ask people get to watch to see you wins are the san francisco 49 ers or the kansas city chiefs. style of ceramics that things back centuries santa tradition like spain and mexico that the cultural significance of television upholstery has officially been
