in 50 years. we begin the saw in china where a surge in the number of coronavirus cases has prompted officials to impose severe restrictions on a 2nd major city and residents in the eastern city of when zone will only be allowed to send one family member out of the house every 2 days to buy necessities the illness is now responsible for the deaths of at least 361 people in china within 17000 people are infected a man from who became the 1st to die outside of china at a hospital in the philippines a number of african countries including botswana and angola have reported suspected cases and a growing number of airlines a suspending services to and from china south korea the philippines new zealand and the u.s. of bands people who've recently traveled there from entering let's go now to scott

hyde lee who joins us live from beijing scott let's start with the numbers 361 deaths labs are running thousands of tests a day how is the chinese medical system coping. well right now hopefully they're going to be getting a little bit more assistance that's because a new hospital purpose built hospital for coronavirus patients will be opening today monday down and will hon this is one of 2 hospitals that together will facilitate about 250-2600 beds specifically for the coronavirus now we know that this is you know obviously very hastily built in about 8 days it will be staffed by army medical workers and we just don't know how much how quickly there's going to be a transfer either from the existing overcrowded hospitals and will haunt into this new hospital or they'll be just receiving the new patients that are coming in as well we're not sure exactly how that's going to unfold but at least there's that that will assist them down in area but we also are hearing from state council which

is a board of leaders here for the central government here in china they held a press conference earlier in the day and essentially they were reassuring the people of china that they do have enough supplies medical supplies something that that there's been a big call out for down and one area that they need more supplies these the general at this table said that they have enough in country and actually they're making 20000000 masts a day so they're saying they're ok with medical supplies but obviously it's distribution that is a big challenge right now because there's so much so many these areas are shut down but that's something they say that they can alleviate and also they just pretty much told the public not to panic but on social media there's really been a backlash about over how the government both local and central government have been handling this by the people of china online scott of interested in how life has changed for everyday people in china i mean people when's out now only allowed to go out of the house every 2 days to get supplies so how is the how has life

changed. well here if you look at beijing you know the life here over the last 10 days has been very very quiet quite honestly you know a lot of you know what a bit of holiday period anyway but most of the shops stayed closed most of the roads have been empty you know today is the 1st day for some workers coming back essential workers with the central government here so there's a little bit more traffic on the streets but it still really has a ghost town feel to it a lot of the restaurants public places are still shut down or empty when you look at the affected area and areas around it they're in lockdown you know and it's unlocked and we've been speaking with people on the phone and and we checked in and skype they are saying that for now they're fairly good their biggest concern obviously behind not getting the virus preventing themselves and their family members from getting the virus is. the question of what's going to happen next right now they don't know how long they're going to have to be locked down it keeps

getting extended the date so that's their biggest concern food and water and supplies seems to be ok a lot of these families had a lot of food in the house anyway because they're expecting guests for this lunar new year or they're preparing for the lunar new year but how long will that last we know that the delivery services in these communities is very taxed at the moment you place an order it will come for another 23 days so obviously there you know things are still operating but as best it can i guess but the big question is how long can it stay that way and how long can these people you know be bunkered in their houses without really needing to get outside think that update that scott had to live there live from beijing chinese markets have plunged almost 9 percent upon reopening off the new year holiday markets had been closed for the break which was extended of the fears of the corona virus spreading meanwhile china's central bank says it will inject $173000000000.00 into the economy on monday to help offset the

economic impact of the outbreak many stores have been shah says the crisis worsens . i say while is c.e.o. of a tearing sense an employee motivation platform he says fair of the outbreak is already changing company and workers behavior i think we're just starting to see the impacts and the fear is starting to take over and here in japan people's behaviors are starting to change you know like realistically we're only seeing like a 10 to 20 percent impact of tourist numbers of a thing on economy rather than what we saw were like 90 percent of the south koreans were last year were not if i was going on but i think it's just the beginning like he's really changing behaviors fear is becoming more pervasive so there's a lot happening right i think you see selling out of masks people can get masks on the secondary market the different outside of something those are something 10 for like a $100.00 in japan for example people are trying to stay out of public transportation . here in tokyo for example where we don't have so many cases yet but fear is

starting to happen and people that have the ability to you know drive around in the car which is a luxury are doing how to get to meetings or out of their own transportation but specifically here for japan what i'm really hopeful can happen is remote work might actually really happen so depend it's been talking about changing the work style for a long time and now companies are starting to send their employees home and just stay away for a month or so so i think we're starting to see people take actions whether it's and whether i want to or trying to buy the few number we're seeing so is changing behavior a lot in common company behavior. in hong kong thousands of hospital workers have begun a 5 day strike over the government's handling of the coronavirus up break doctors and nurses a demanding official shut all of hong kong's borders with mainland china to prevent further spread of the illness 15 cases have been confirmed this so far there are fears that number has rises hundreds of thousands of people return from mainland

china following the end of the holiday. and now the news protestors in iraq are denouncing the appointment of a new prime minister demonstrations have been marching in several cities including baghdad and former communications minister mohamed tawfik along the way he was named prime minister designate on saturday he's promising reforms and an early election in iraq is seen months of mass protests against corruption unemployment and poor government services simona fulton is in baghdad she says many protesters have valid to continue action until their demands are met. 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

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 what receiving on the streets is a split within the protest from what we're seeing on the one hand the student who came out today opposing allow we on and on the other hand we have the followers of he has put it very smoke set aside of one so now we're supporting and protecting the photos when they have come out in support of allowing what it seems to be happening now is a mix but a set of points 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 allowing among the protesters among the students and they're 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

not represent the political establishment that is in place so far. the turkish military has sent reinforcements to northern syria it's warning it may intervene against the government's offensive in aleppo and activists say 9 civilians were killed by airstrikes on sunday last week the u.n. said almost 390000 people mostly women and children had fled their homes since the start of december we're hearing mohammed reports. smoke doctors the skies above aleppo's countryside syrian russian backed forces have launched an offensive to seize the area. syrian armed groups. fighting back. but civilians are caught in the fighting. my uncle's house was hit by a messiah 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

a very fast area unknown but enough assume. relatively not well policed and the military capability to actually come are these white stretch is actually a challenge so you you have this vast threat of place and it's not very easy for you know to have a pass sort of mini committee to actually cover the host traits i mean the french special forces are very well equipped and they have intelligence as well as you know where the african forces went in alongside them but if you've got such a vast area and you've got a set of jihad is a pattern that that is always going to be a challenge to keep things have been a the last meeting they had in january was he said that there was going to be joints coalition forces sudanese joint commandos joint boots on the ground for instance our forces mixed with african forces in order to actually be able to combat this you had these attacks that i think previously it would appear that the
