government advance towards western outlet or main made to the said rocket to the a reality. where there are syrian civilians. turkish convoys circuitry forstmann have been that packed 5 syrian government factions which are mainly shia militia groups the military calls them but in the early morning i was. there for turkish soldiers that have been killed because of kurds because that's on agreement never happened yesterday military posts have been harassed by the syrian government factions the shia fighter groups yes. convoys have been attacked by the same groups before retaliated in the same scale but it seems yesterday and this morning was something different and let's not forget everything is happening despite the donna and sochi

peace process that was kind of undergone a grantor chip of russia and iran and i have spoken to some military forces early in the morning and they were sound as well it's really government is now trying to push the opposition for a minute said solution rather than a political solution that has. that has think. 1st the geneva accords you know. currently there is a committee to convert people to members that are there they are trying to write a new constitution syria which will allow all citizens of the riyadh the same rights but many now argue that the syrian government is not there biding advisors is not actually supporting the constitutional court that this incident is very important because turkey and russia has been on the same page and syria for a while did 9 by neutral political and diplomatic crisis like shutting. 9 both

sides each other jets. over to ramp but now people are afraid whether russia and turkey will come from to each other or turkish army resided to come from syrian army which could which could be named as a real war at that time because so far all the harassment came through the shaft 5 church groups which were under control of the syrian government the syrian government has never directly attacked the turkish army but we know that the syrian government has advanced inside syria and has gained back its territory. from the syrian opposition held and other areas and now they are pushing to evacuate the military posts into the escalation is done which is and let's not forget turkey is into the escalation zone. 12 military observer ation post on the request of the syrian government and under the mediation of russia and turkey says

really lie to me here why should i leave right now unless there's a real political solution with the syrian opposition and also this goes for the say is the schools the same way as for the other territories that are under the control of the syrian opposition. which is backed by the syrian by the turkish army that is . or. other areas so now it's. going to be everyone but of course there are going to get larger ukraine to great britain and you always been a big record before his. message is that he's going to deliver before line to bring are going to be very absolutely thank you so much for that we'll have to leave it there for now that's an inquest shoulder there live from istanbul thank you. in china a surge in the number of 1 coronavirus cases has led officials to impose

a very strict sions on a 2nd major city in the eastern city of when joe anyone family member will be allowed out of the home every 2 days to buy necessities the onus is now responsible for the deaths of at least $361.00 people in china well then $17000.00 people are infected a man from will haunt became the 1st to die outside of china at a hospital in the philippines some african countries including botswana and angola have reported suspected cases and more airlines are suspending services to and from china south korea the philippines new zealand and the u.s. have banned people who've recently traveled there from entering go now to scott who joins us live from beijing just bring us up to speed with the latest numbers and also how the the medical system is coping. well the medical system is trying to catch up really it's you know obviously it's been stretched to its limits down with han and

a province we know that thousands of army medical personnel have been flown down to the affected there have been over the last week or so but we know more so probably in the last 24 hours because that is because they're going to open the doors they're planning to open the doors they said they're going to open the doors on a new purpose built hospital today monday down and with and it's going to be staffed by these army medical technicians and doctors so we're expecting that to be happening as we speak now how the government has been dealing with the situation and updating the public they held a the state council held a press conference earlier today and discussed a couple of things but overall the theme was reassuring the chinese people that they have the situation under control as much as they can as much as possible that there really isn't that big of a shortage of medical supplies this kind of goes against what we heard days before they said that even now 20000000 masseur being produced a day so they're saying the situation is is you know as in hand is as possible in

this kind of situation but more kind of a reassuring. message to the chinese people this comes you know after a 24 hour period that saw a lot of backlash on social media against how local governments have been handling the situation with the coronavirus as well as the central government comes to yes those medical supplies treatment of doctors as well as how donations have been filtered through there is a lot of media reports. online social media reports of how the donations were getting to where they needed to be the most so that really got a lot of people angry and they went to the on line to complain about it to complain that they needs to be done more need to be done by the government of local and central. i am interested and how people the everyday people are responding to this and hong kong medical stuff i walking off the job because they want the government they had to close off the border with mainland china but how are people in general responding to to how the government in mainland china is dealing with the outbreak

. for the most part like here in beijing you know most people are it hearing to you know kind of a social norms in this environment but also what the government has been saying you know it's very rare that you see someone if not at all someone without wearing a mask on public events have been canceled a lot of public areas have been pretty much rendered empty shops bars restaurants all mostly for the most part clothes that are probably start to change as we go into this week but you can't go into any public facility hotel that is open without getting your temperature checked and even going into certain neighborhoods a certain on claves within beijing you'll have your temperature checked so you know it when you look at it from that standpoint yes people are hearing to what the government is saying that again you know there's this growing dissatisfaction anger on social media because of some of the stories that have been leaked out of stories

that have been that have been shown through video online that is really kind of stoking some anger in the chinese people again i think what we're going to see from the chinese central government is they're kind of countering that with their communication machine and we saw the beginning of that i think with his press conference earlier i think they'll probably really touted this new hospital being being opened as also another way that they can show the chinese people that they're doing as much as they can think that scott highly there live from beijing the chinese markets have plunged almost 9 percent upon reopening after the new net new year holiday markets had been closed for the break that was extended of a phase of the chronic virus spreading meanwhile in china central bank says it will inject 173000000000 dollars into the economy on monday to help offset the economic impact of the outbreak many stores are closing as the crisis worsens the chinese government says it will be business as usual once work has returned from the holiday. as far as we know the export companies are now quickly resuming their

production capacity at very small colleges are also taking targeted measures to help create a sounded favorable business environment the central authorities and local governments have all made plans to introduce target measures to help businesses resume their operations. well during tomorrow is seeing a partner covering the asia pacific region for control risks and joins us by skype from singapore thank you so much for your time how is it likely to respond to this 100 and $73000000000.00 injection from china's central bank. i think i'll probably respond positively the chinese markets don't function like like markets free markets in the west in many ways a lot of government controls most of the listed entities or at least most of market cap is just is are you know in a place of state owned enterprises so the government has a lot of controls in terms of buying and selling orders that they can. enforce it

on programs is not just on the list of entities so they can when they have a drop like this after new year it's not uncommon they can there's a lot of measures they can take including the type that you mentioned up and injecting funds into the economy to boost the market back again so why the measures can i take. well they can you know they can start brokerages not to not execute cell orders they can instruct the biggest so he is a state amenities that are listed in china to not to sell shares for example are not allowed so shares to be sold they can you know coerce them into buying back shares that has a lot of things that they can do you know addition to the circuit breakers that the chinese markets have like most markets. to bolster bolster confidence if they think that that's necessary and i suspect you know as it has the injection of funds that they've announced is you know that they feel that's necessary and so to recover not just from the virus but a few of the other things that they have projected a kind of drop in g.d.p. growth and all these things that have kind of accumulated particularly over the

lunar new year holiday and want to restore confidence in the market so i would expect to see some more things like that taking place there are things simulations that are being carried out by well they do you know business leaders and the takeaway it's always been from those previous simulations looking at what would happen during an outbreak the takeaway has always been that that governments and economies businesses need to be prepared how prepared is china do you think. you can be prepared for an economic slowdown or prepared for things like coronavirus or pay for things like coronavirus and the economic slowdown that may come as a result all is coming as a result. so i think one of the. you can always argue about how much businesses are prepared or you know depending on what they say how much of that is actually true you know our china was hit by several things in a row and part of it was the trade friction the united states part of a swine flu remember that china's eliminated about half of its. swineherd as

a result of swine flu and you have the projected or announced. slowdown in the economy which you know is actually probably slower than been what official statistics rip represent and then you've had the coronavirus over the lunar new year which is typically a very big time of spending in particular consumption spending so remember that china's economy now is majority driven by consumption so when you have something like this happening over the new year which is typically a very big time for consumption. really hurts the consumptive side of the economy and that's that's increasingly important china as it shifts from kind of being an industrial industrial export driven economy to a consumption driven economy so you know with things like fall and export orders that's been happening in some parts of china for example southern china for several years that's nothing new parts of china of the northeast for example century china's rust belt where you have heavy industry heavy steel heavy petro chemicals have been in recession for 20 years so that's you know for certain parts of china

this is nothing new and certain parts of china again because it's a big country it's very difficult to take as a whole and say it's slowing or it's or it's not he's closer china you know urban areas like shanghai and center are probably growing significantly in excess of the overall national g.d.p. statistic so some of the businesses are prepared because they've been dealing with the slowdown already i suspect some trick on the consumption side you've seen a number of brand names close numbers up to half of their stores in china foreign brands as well as chinese brands retail so retail will take a big hit and that's you know that's now increasingly as a consumption consumption driven economy that's a much bigger part of the economy they used to so it will affect the overall economy more than it would have passed thank you so much really great analysis there that staying there sing a part not covering the edge pacific region for control risks. well still to come on al-jazeera an attacker is shot dead on

a busy london street in what police describe as a terrorism related incident. and could the result of malawi's presidential election be nullified the country's constitutional court has said to decide. hello again welcome back we're here cross parts of the middle east we are watching one storm system right now making its way towards the east now this did bring some snow across parts of iraq as well as iran we do expect to see some more snow here as it makes its way towards afghanistan as well as into pakistan it could well you could see as some snow flurries in your forecast for the temps there on monday of minus one now the big story as we go towards the beginning and towards the middle of the week is what is going to happen over here towards parts of turkey we do have a system that is coming out of europe and with it there's going to be

a lot of cold air as well as some very windy conditions you can start to see it up here towards the edge of a map all of the rain as well as the snow here on tuesday but the big difference will be as we go towards wednesday very windy conditions a car cross parts of greece as well as into turkey plenty of rain through istanbul as well as along the coast we are going to see some rain and the higher elevations it is going to be some snow this will continue as we go towards thursday as well over here toward still have though it's going to be a nice day as we go towards wednesday with a temperature of about $21.00 degrees while across madagascar we do expect to see some increasing rain showers across much of the north there is a developing system we think out here towards indian ocean but over the next few days the rain shows will stay mostly along the eastern seaboard. in the philippines the black market for gold is worth hundreds of millions but not everybody is repeating the rewards from some pain the ultimate prize when i went

east investigates why people like dying for gold on al-jazeera. you want your knowledge is there a reminder about top stories this hour turkey's defense ministry says 4 turkish soldiers have been killed by syrian government shelling 9 were wounded in the attack and it affects the turkish military sent reinforcements to northern syria on sunday. the number of people who have died from coronavirus in china has risen to at least 361 a surge in infections has prompted the government to heavily restrict movement in a 2nd major city. chinese markets have plunged almost 9 percent upon reopening

after the new year holiday markets have been closed for the break that was extended over fears of the corona virus spreading. well as the corona virus spread so is reports of racism directed at chinese people and for schapelle explains. 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 when 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. is the only tool. of those in the metro going to work and i sit down in the seat when the person sitting next to me moved over by a few centimeters i could have moved

a few meters he would've but at least it was just a few centimeters he didn't cover his mouth of 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'd done wasn't ok it's the 1st time it's happened to me of it when upset 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 businesses 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 honestly fearful 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 on. and what we've learned is that if people feel fear we have with 3 parts of this one is the the kaga how we experience and perceive something the other is how emotionally we feel about it and then how do we behaviorally respond to 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 wrist indeed the united states we have thousands upon thousands of people died 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. a man's been shot dead by police in london off to 2 people was stabbed on a busy street it's believed the attack a had recently been released from prison and they 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 cheap people within minutes he was shot at. all the offices he were parts of a proactive counter-terrorism surveillance operation and were following the suspect on folks who were in immediate attendance and shot a male suspect dead at the scene. the suspect had been recently released from prison where he had been serving a sentence for islam in straight state terrorism and the whole thing was.
