in believe is basically resulting in a family basis with elections on the horizon a call for action from residents of one of the world's most polluted cities. now hong kong as reported its 1st death from the coronavirus is the 2nd fate aleksey from illness outside of mainland china well on monday hong kong close 10 of its 13 borders with mainland china in a bid to stop the spread but medical workers have been demanding that the border be completely shut and the man who died have been kept in isolation since his illness was confirmed last week adrian brown has more from hong kong. he was 39 years old and he had visited the city of which is the epicenter for this virus on january the 21st but we also understand that he didn't visit any health facilities on the mainland or go to any live produce markets that simple because it's of course alive

produce market is believed to be the source of this outbreak now we know that he is responsible for the 1st person to person transmission here in hong kong that was confirmed or monday night the other person who was infected was his mother now the man who died also had an underlying illness and that of course is the case with many other people who have died on the mainland the only other person to have died outside of china is of course in the philippines that case was confirmed on sunday now this latest death in hong kong was confirmed just hours after the chief executive of hong kong announced he was shutting down more of hong kong's front here with china one of the few crossing points that remains open is the bridge to china behind me that goes to macau the former portuguese colony as well as the chinese city of zoo hi it's about 55 kilometers long but traffic today has been

very light indeed now has been under pressure to close all of the border with hong kong and china put she says that simply isn't practical because of course there are many people who live in hong kong but work across the border in china for 425 people are now known to have died from the virus within china and has more than $20000.00 confirmed cases more than half of those are in who bay province that's the epicenter of the outbreak but it's continuing to spread elsewhere with more than $150.00 cases confirmed in 23 countries meanwhile south korean comic ohio and i have suspended some of its operations because of part shortages due to the outbreak the company says the disruption was inevitable because of chinese government restrictions on plant operations. now in the u.s. state of iowa results are trickling in from the 1st electoral contest of the 2020 democratic presidential campaign caucuses have been held in more than 1600 venues across the state results are seen as

a key indicator of who go on to challenge donors from in the year than the election the last 4 democrats to win iowa all went on to win the party's nomination well we have 2 correspondents following those developments in iowa in a moment we'll hear from john hendren who's at bernie sanders campaign h.q. but 1st let's go to alan fischer. the final results are still delayed any indication yet as to what's happening and who's ahead. no there's a real problem here and the problem is that the democratic party was using a new up to gather all the results and that seems to failed and the system to call in if there was a failure with the op seems to have failed as well so they're trying to just confirm the results but it is causing a problem and it's a bad look i mean everyone in the united states is watching iowa to see who the democrats put forward as a potential candidate to take on donald trump in the vendor and if you can't seem to get this sorted that is really going to damage their image as they move through

this election campaign we're getting a few airlie results it's bad news for joe biden he looks as if he's going to come in probably fair which is not what was expected he was the early front runner of course is the former vice president to barack obama a very popular president and he seems to have disappeared off the map no he has spoken in the last hour says that they go on to new hampshire but you would expect him to see that he's obviously hoping to do a lot better in states like nevada and also south carolina at the moment it looks as a bernie sanders is is going to win and john will tell you more about that shortly in 2nd place at the moment it looks like elizabeth warren is doing very well. in 3rd place pete booted gedge the youngest candidate in the race he's the 30 year old mia from south bend in indiana and in 4th place surprisingly in the club she was incredibly smart she was the 1st candidate to break cover and go and speak in front of the cameras she did it in primetime in the united states give her a chance to sell itself to the country as well she told everyone they were punching

above their weight which is probably true and they were going to take the campaign on to new hampshire whoever is advising her that was a really smart campaign move but the big story in the next couple of days is not about who won in iowa or who did well who failed that will be part of the narrative but there will be questions about why it went so badly wrong for the democrats in iowa when it came to handling this new technology and what it says about the democratic party as a whole all right so that's the democrats. let's talk about the republican caucuses they've already happened and no doubt as to who was the winner. let me tell you on twitter republicans are loving the mess that the democrats are currently in. crowing about it their caucus went through very smoothly but that was expected that there were only 3 candidates in that and of course donald trump was always going to win and win by a significant margin in fact he took 97 percent of the vote that reflects roughly

where he stands as far as his support in the public in party is he not on the ground here he's back at the white house he has got surrogates here including 2 of his children. and eric trump and they are obviously very pleased that their father did well there are 2 candidates who are up against him joe walsh former congressman from illinois he's likely to drop the race i would suspect in the next week or so he simply can't keep going with this level of support william weld former governor of massachusetts he may stay in until next week which is in new hampshire massachusetts new hampshire right next door to one another he's got name recognition in this state he'll be hoping to do more than his one and a half percent that he did here but a big win for donald trump and that one getting even bigger because of the mess that the democrats are making of declaring the results normally we would have something before no but the fact that we've got next to nothing just is not a good look for a party that wants to show it's ready to take over the reins of power at the white house all right allan thanks for that all right let's cross over now to john

hendren he's in des moines for us john you were at bernie sanders campaign headquarters there you were there 4 years ago you were there tonight what's the atmosphere like. well i would never fails to be suspenseful and this is no exception 4 years ago here in this very same spot of this very same hotel it was a late night a nail biter in which hillary clinton ended up slightly defeating bernie sanders with about a 49.8 percent versus his 496 percent he declared a kind of victory but she ended up getting 2 more delegates well this time they don't have an answer at all so one candidate afterward another as you've seen seems to have gotten up and declared plaintive looks great without running our eggs are all i heard actually address what's going on tonight was bernie sanders he came out of the 1st thing he said was i have a straw are laying at some point the results will be out and when they are i have

a good feeling we will 'd be doing very very 'd well here and that's about all he will say but as one of his supporters got up to the mike and said we will wait we will be patient but we all already celebrating and you can see behind me that celebration is still going on i don't know what's happening at the other campaign headquarters but here this is definitely a celebration there have been chance of bernie bernie. lots of people raising sort of thing but sanders did get down to business already combating president donald trump here's a little of what he had to say. was so naive in this seeing nor mostly consequential 2020 year lection the 1st state in the country has voted and said i am a. marks the beginning of the end for donald try.

the most dangerous person. that ends it in modern american history was. the sanders went on to call president trump the most dangerous president in american history a pathological liar he said he was growing up he didn't understand the u.s. constitution law but really by the time any of these candidates gets the results there's a good chance they will all be in new hampshire so we may be learning the new hampshire results it is in time we're learning about these iowa results but all of the polls that i looked at before this seemed to have good news for bernie sanders that we know from 2016 of course are always reliable the standards people are confident and you can just seen the mood there and we don't know how many hours or days it'll be into final results are here they're hopeful for the john hendren the

and des moines iowa john thank you. now turkey says its military has hit several syrian government targets getting dozens of troops the strikes were launched out of 5 turkish soldiers and 3 civilians were killed by shelling in syria's rebel held in the province turkey has now sent more reinforcements to in the distracting further action braca gupta reports. towns and villages and don't press syria under attack by government jets. a grim reality throughout the 90 s. civil war. and for the 1st time the government to soltan it has put turkey on the syrian regime it direct military confrontation. ass off to turkey sent military reinforcements into syria which says it was to prevent more bloodshed in the province its soldiers and civilians came under attack prompting a retaliation from ancora yeah
