we listen so if you replace china's enemy of the with and that's really then yours we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter just 0. 0000 turkey promises to retaliate up to 4 of its soldiers were killed in shelling by syrian government forces in if you. don't haave going on come all santa maria and this is the world news from al-jazeera the coronavirus is alarming investors in china are a stocks fall 9 percent the outbreak is spreading killing more than $360.00 people . also fears of an escalation in violence in libya has suggested off the build up by forces loyal to war 24 have to.

jubilation as kansas city chiefs pull off a big win to lift the super bowl for the 1st time in 50 years. starting with developments in syria where government shelling has killed 4 turkish soldiers in the northern province of idlib took his defense ministry says 9 people were also injured ankara has been sending its reinforcements into the area to counter the syrian government offensive in it and aleppo if you remember in the areas last rebel held stronghold speaking earlier turkish president egypt time once said his forces have responded to that attack and that turkey will continue to retaliate. about $30.00 to $35.00 syrian soldiers were. eliminated within these

positions and as we cede we openly made it clear that we are targeting the syrian forces simply because it was the man who attacked our tutor soldiers we cannot sit on our hands we will hold to account all those responsible for the attack on tooter soldiers turkish forces launched their military operation in northeast syria in october of last year to try to drive the kurdish y.p. g. forces away from the border that had been triggered by the us decision to withdraw military support to the kurdish syrian democratic forces both of them involved in fighting eisel so the turks do control a long strip of territory it goes from the towns of. northeast syria president and russia's president who has been brokered a cease fire in january in that area parts collapsed and syrian forces backed by russia launched a campaign to recapture it laid on her accuses moscow of going back on the deal

his sin of course in istanbul to talk more about this. we heard the details of what actually happened to these 4 soldiers but i guess the crucial thing is that president says the retaliation will continue. this came out exactly he actually framed it that's an operation that will continue. and he said that the turkish intelligence has identified at least 40 locations as a target so turkey has been retaliating against those of 4 to locations and so far at least 30 to 35 syrian army members were were killed during the turkish responses to the syrian army but of course there are lots of questions to be answered because this spied a ceasefire that was announced on january 12th despite us donna and such a peace processes and russia this happened as i have said earlier

turkish most recall moist turkish military observation posts have been from time to time have arrest by some as syrian armed factions which we call as the shia fighter groups but this time it seems they are directly accusing the syrian government and that's why the 1st reaction after present government to present the wrap party spokesperson him actually kept the statement and he said that from now want the syrian regime of the syrian government is our target and they are hostile behaviors in the region is a threat to the whole region and he said turkey expects russia not the share of the regime or protect soft turkey directly targets the syrian government the mascots right now but also trying to tell moscow that we don't have a problem with you but of course i have so on the line that the defense ministry early in the morning sound that this attack again targeted the turkish call more.

happened the spike the coordination information was shared it with the russian counterparts so since the turkish military is into the escalation zone and everything is in coordination with russians and syrian government how could it happen this really needs an answer. soon in course or you're wrapping up developments from istanbul thank you. or president erdogan says his officials have already spoken to russia syria's main supporter in the region about the killing of the 4 turkish soldiers. the turkish foreign minister along with chief of intelligence and defense minister have already initiated diplomatic talks however if the desired outcome is not achieved within this period of time i myself will directly talk to my russian counterpart i will lay out to view on this particular struggle step danson has more from moscow on the behind the scenes diplomatic activity between russia and turkey. we haven't heard anything official here from

from moscow yet all we know is what's coming from the turkish side about this incident but of course this comes at the back of an escalation that has been going on for a couple of weeks actually and also on friday of course the president accused russia of of violating the stan and such she agreements with this continuous shiling and attacking in together with the us up forces there's of course a lot of. hustle and bustle going on right now as we speak president of the one mention that there has been some phone calls back and forth and he is also planning to speak directly with president putin reconsiders a very close friend of course they had this very bombastic cease fire announcement in january not only about italy but also about about libya but that ceasefire never helped at all the shelling and the attacks continued the world

a lot of accusations that the syrian forces together with russia was also bombarding civilian targets russia has always denied this up until friday they weren't denials about this of these attacks on civilians they said they only attacking terrorists as they call them and also we have to know of course that the president putin has been urging her to want to also stick to his side of the stand and such agreement. on to other news in chinese people are returning to their homes after the lunar new year celebrations and they coming back to more grim news about the spreading coronavirus the latest numbers at least 362 deaths and over 17000 infections in china there's a hospital that's been built in just 10 days and it has started receiving patients in city which is the epicenter of the outbreak now chinese stocks have fallen nearly 9 percent which is their biggest full since 2015 even though the central

bank pledged $173000000000.00 to stabilize the world's 2nd biggest economy and over in hong kong hundreds of medical workers have decided to walk off the job demanding the border with the mainland be close let's talk to adrian brown in hong kong about that specifically 1st of all ager in medical workers walking off the job right now just not what anyone needs. yet it's a reminder kemal that this public health emergency in hong kong this spreading emergency is being politicized because those taking part in this industrial action that began on monday involving we believe more than 2000 medical workers are medical workers who joined a union a newly formed union that in a sense was born out of the protest movement that began just over 8 months ago now

this group is demanding that the chief executive carried them close the border between hong kong and china they say that is the only effective way to prevent the virus from spreading kerry land though it is digging in her heels she says that to do so would be discriminatory and also it would go against world health organization guidelines the government is appealing to this new union to put the interests of hong kong patients 1st now the hospital authority here in hong kong which controls about 42 of hong kong's more than 50 public hospitals says that a number of surgical cases have been postponed delayed a fact about half the operations that would you take place in hong kong on monday have had to be halted now this group say that frontline staff to say doctors and nurses are jew to join this action on choose day they say up to 9000 doctors and

nurses could take part in that industrial action if that were the case it would mean by my estimation that about a quarter of medical workers in hong kong would be taking part in that industrial action but we have been to 2 hospitals near here and outside one of the hospitals there were no strikers outside another there were about 20 so it's hard to assess for the moment just how serious and damaging this action is but as you say it's the worst possible thing to be happening to home. comes public health service at a time when it's you know resources are already dangerously stretched a quick word on the markets no great surprise i would say that the markets have reopened after a lunar new year and have fallen but a full in the 10 percent and be the chinese government was already trying to shore up the economy. the markets in in shanghai was that you pointed out in your introduction down almost 10 percent

a monday i think that's the worst performance we've seen in about 5 years on that particular index here in hong kong the market was already pretty anemic it not to stop just a few percent on monday are off to noon but not a lot of confidence there at the moment the government in beijing has been pumping more money into the banking system more than $173000000000.00 that is because it wants to try to avoid a credit crunch he wants to encourage banks to lend at all costs and to create more liquidity in the market you know there have been some projections kemal that economic growth in china because of this virus could drop down to as little as 3 or 2 percent if that is the case then that is bad news not just for china of course the engine of world economic growth but also for the entire world economically ok john brown in hong kong the latest news on coronavirus thank you. well in the news ahead questions over malawi's presidential election will the constitutional court

actually nullify the results. i'm alan fischer in iowa where they're about to cast the 1st votes in the 2020 u.s. presidential election campaign it's not fox because it's important it's important because it's far. from. hello again welcome back to international weather forecasts we're here across europe over the next few days things are going to change or we're going to seeing more of a wintry mix across much of central and eastern parts of europe now things have been mild all the way through the weekend temperatures have been above average into the teens and we're still seeing parts of that here on monday with about 15 degrees paris at about 13 degrees but really as we go towards tuesday and also into midweek that is when the change happens we're going to see

a lot more of that air and that flow coming out of the northwest bring that colder air in in temperatures are going to be dropping across much of this area we'll be seeing a lot of snow as well in terms of snow here across the alps we're talking probably about 70 centimeters of snow over the next 3 days over towards ukraine probably about 50 and the down towards the balkan peninsula we're talking anywhere between $20.30 centimeters of snow in the forecast here for zurich though take a look at those temperatures as we go towards wednesday rain in the forecast with 15 degrees here on monday but by the time we do get towards wednesday it is going to be a chilly day with temperatures only reaching to about 5 degrees there well here across another part of africa we could be watching the system as well winds are on the increase across much of the northern coast and for ghazi expect to see about 17 as forecast. gives you a deal dead and did you get the peace prize too soon. is this going to hurt or help

donald trump's reelection chances it is very true when they fail to cheat somebody on 5th avenue and not have any consequence this is not a muslim issue this is a human colony issue join me maddy huff and as i put it up from questions to my special guests and challenge them to some straight talking political debate here on out. here with al-jazeera and these are the top stories turkey's president says his military's hit back at syrian government forces after turkish soldiers were killed shelling and it was deployed troops in northern syria to counter

a government offensive. the newly built hospital in china has become treating patients affected by the coronavirus the death toll has risen to 361 plus a person in the philippines as well 17000. and chinese stock markets have reacted by fail 9 percent early on monday the biggest force since 2015 china's central bank has pledged $173000000000.00 to stabilize the world's 2nd biggest economy in the way they operate. morrow is a senior partner for control risks covering the pacific region and told us he believes china will be able to manage the economic impact. 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 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 brokerages not just on the list and he's so they can when they have a drop like this after the new year it's not uncommon they can there's a lot of measures they can take including the type that you mention of and injecting funds into the economy to boost the market back again they can start brokerages not to not execute sell orders they can instruct the biggest so easiest they don't any of these that are listed in china to not to sell shares for example are not allowed so shares to be sold they can in you know coerce them into buying back shares there's a lot of things that they can do you know there's no the circuit breakers that the chinese markets have like most markets. to bolster to bolster confidence if they think that that's necessary and i suspect you know as the as 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 the projected 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. well concerns are growing in libya that the forces loyal to war khalifa haftar may be preparing to renew their full scale fighting analysts say half to has received large supplies of weapons from the united arab emirates while on the other side turkey has sent naval frigates troops and weapons to support the internationally recognized government. in tripoli. the libyans have been voicing their frustration and anger what many see is the lack of meaningful effort to end the conflict. much of the anger is directed at those who they see as responsible for prolonging hostilities but it's also aimed at the international community which they see as giving all or khalifa haftar equal status to the internationally recognized government to. the building conference 2 weeks ago was meant to ease tensions and in force

a ceasefire it has done neither the international community and europe in particular is as divided as ever over how to solve the problem europe is a big failure europe they are not united and they are fighting for libya france and italy. england is trying to watch their did or did they are involved not too much now. out of europe now maybe they will act more because it may be they will have their own policy we hope so. the united states once so vocal on libyan issues has remained largely silent the u.n. envoy to libya gas and salami has been visiting both sides to try and broker a lasting cease fire but so far with no success there have been more than $100.00 violations since it began on january 12th there is supposed to be an arms embargo here but with 2000 kilometers of coastline and 3 and

a half 1000 kilometers of land border with 6 countries enforcing it is near impossible and there are concerns that both sides are stockpiling weapons and equipment and government forces are preparing in case there is a full resumption of fighting there are unconfirmed reports that the united arab emirates has given more than 3000 tons of weapons including drones to have to ask forces and 2 turkish frigates like these arrived off the coast of libya to add to the approximately 2000 soldiers and pro turkish syrian fighters who are said to be reinforcing tripoli's defenses now turkey make a balance to him from the door was a window or from the bag it came because they have an agreement with the government so if he would like to now they are coming. you know flights that you know on smuggling that what they were what they what they see from him written in egypt they are smuggling weapons after us forces have been attacking tripoli

with rockets and artillery fire for 10 months they've also imposed a blockade of oil ports that has so far cost the country nearly $700000000.00 the economic impact can already be seen rubbish is piling in the streets of the capital because there is not enough money to pay workers and prices are starting to rise. the government has dedicated soldiers but needs international help it says it is the only way for this conflict and but have to our side has said repeatedly that any solution will be done on the battlefield tony berkely al-jazeera tripoli. a man's been shot dead by police in london after he stabbed 2 people on a busy street it's believed had recently been released from prison and he said the incident in the southern suburb of stratton was terrorism related to this report from catherine stone's. a moment of panic on a bustling streets in south london police target a man suspected of stopping people within minutes he was shocked at. armed officers

drawn out and complicated presidential campaigns can spark into life here or be extinguished that gives people incredible power when reports suggest voters in iowa have 20 times more influence than almost any other state the weight and meaning of iowa is really supplied by our national media establishment this is the 1st time they have hard results from actual voters and so if you as an opportunity. to essentially understand where these candidates are in the race iowa is predominately white it's mainly rudel has few big industries essentially it doesn't look a lot like the rest of america there are plenty who would like to see the 1st contest held in the state this more representative of america as a whole but that's simply not going to happen if somewhere were to move its primary or its caucuses then i would move it to one because the state law says it always has to be flushed and the people here insist that they take their responsibilities very seriously in vetting presidential candidates and i just think that you know

we've made good decisions in the past not always the one you want but it's very important to know that the people that are on the 1st line for cook is doing our knowledgeable and can represent minorities throughout the united states when experienced political watcher says the people here know they're doing their job for the rest of the country i will say in terms of the diversity of the state. iowans care about a wide variety of issues there's a lot of issues including issues that relate to the minority communities they get aired in the iowa caucuses there's a brown and black forum specifically dedicated to giving candidates an opportunity for their issues where basically all we may. not be health care some politicians who skipped iowa complaining of its size influence it's never worked out for them whether they like it or not for the moment the road to the white house goes through here alan fischer al-jazeera des moines iowa. still in the u.s.
