al-jazeera correspondent. there are some of the media stories a critical look at the global media spread on al-jazeera government shut off access to social media. al-jazeera. you're watching the news hour life from a headquarters in doha and coming up in the next 60 minutes hong kong confirms its 1st death from the corona virus a striking medical workers demand the closure of borders with mainland china. the race to pick a democratic presidential nominee in the u.s. gets off to a confusing start with results delayed. and national mourning declared in kenya and

a cruise ship is under quarantine docks at a port in japan a passenger who got off that ship in hong kong was later confirmed with the virus we have 2 correspondents following the latest developments will join us in beijing in a moment but 1st we'll bring in adrian brown who give us an update from hong kong and confirmation that one person has now died from the virus in hong kong adrian what more do we know about this. well hospital officials here in hong kong have been talking about this case the softer noone they say this said the 9 year old man went to woo high and by high speed train on january the 21st returning 3 days later they say that in the days before his death they were able to talk to him and he apparently told them that he didn't visit any hospitals or health facilities in will hand or indeed visit any markets live selling live produce remember that's important because it's believed that

a market selling wild meat has been identified as a source for this virus now he has infected his mother who is now in hospital being treated on this dark day doctors and nurses have been striking as part of their campaign to try to persuade hong kong's embattled chief executive to close the entire front here with china but for now carrying them insists she will not do that . as hong kong confirmed its 1st death from the virus a quarter of its doctors and nurses went on strike seriously affecting emergency services several 100 demonstrated outside the offices of their employer hong kong's health authority they say the complete closure of hong kong's border with the mainland would help prevent the disease spreading their members of the new union born out of the protest movement politics have now entered this growing public health emergency headline thing i hope the government quickly listens to our

demands quickly closes all the borders and brink this epidemic under control by choose day 10 of the 13 border crossing points with the mainland were closed but the bridge to china remains open now one of the few ways into or out of hong kong when this bridge opened almost 3 years ago it stood as a symbol of the deepening links between hong kong and china today it stands as a symbol of the few. border links that now remain between the 2. hong kong's leader kerry lam is resisting calls for a total shut down of the front here saying it would go against the guidelines of the world health organization and rejects accusations that her administration is the one playing politics i certainly would not agree with the allegation that we saw for not addressing this public health concern adequately and suddenly i

don't agree with the allegation that we are putting politics of public health the economic fallout from this emergency has spread to the nearby gambling hub of macau popular with mainland tourists all casinos will be closed for 2 weeks in a new hand a new hospital built in just 9 days has begun treating patients another 3 mobile hospitals are being assembled in a rare move china's government has appealed to the outside world for help saying vital medical equipment is needed including more face masks and protective clothing for medical workers doctors also say there's a shortage of testing kits. in another unusual development china's top leadership has admitted to shortcomings and failures in its response to the crisis the politburo standing committee chaired by president xi jinping warned that officials who failed in their duty would be punished that amounts to

a public acknowledgement that they failed the people adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong and for more on that public acknowledgement adrian was mentioning let's bring in scott heiler he's joining us from beijing so the leaders in china as we're hearing they're calling this epidemic as a major test the china system what were they saying and what are we to read into these comments scott. yes absolutely the top 7 leaders of this nation led by president xi jinping had another very rare standing committee of the pullup euro meeting and out of that they said they were short comings and that there were difficulties in the early stages of dealing with this coronavirus crisis and they're carrying the way through they're trying to correct as much as they can they said that and they say they there are systems that need to be corrected and improved that's quite a rare admission from the very top government officials here in the central

government here in beijing that what's going to be interesting moving forward ok they are saying this this is they say this is a difficult situation what are they going to do to change things we do know now what they're trying to do is beef up the facilities down in the epicenter of this coronavirus they're building they've completed one purpose built hospital there in the process of building another one so that's one way they're trying to to help with the situation but you know there's still a lot of short comings and one of them is medical supplies and of the national health commission had a press conference earlier today saying that they still need a health equipments health medical supplies garments for the medical workers who are on the front lines so that's something that's another following that they need to make up for they fled for overseas out of china help in procuring the materials they need they've stepped up the production of these materials here in china but just to underline just how many they need each medical. practitioner on the front lines dealing with patients they have to change their mask every 4 hours so you can

do the math that is a lot of mass that are needed on even just an hourly a daily basis so that's the great need that they are reaching out outside of town as borders for help on that is there were worries the death toll as well as the number of people infected in mainland china is just going to continue to rise. well as it was described by the the health department here the press conference they held that had a panel with medical doctors and officials within the ministry they said that there hasn't been a turning point yet and that means with this virus that means that the numbers have continually gone up there hasn't been a plateau nor has there been a decrease so that they're still waiting for they say they're hoping obviously for that turning point to come soon because i think once that happens then they can get to get a better idea of you know how long this period is what they can do now with those

who are in the facilities currently now so i think that will help them kind of map out the future but right now they say that that turning point hasn't happened they're not quite certain when it's going to happen ok scott thank you for bringing us that update from beijing. now the 1st attempt in the u.s. to pick a democratic presidential nominee has gone off to a confusing start after results from the iowa caucuses words in late so local party officials blame in consistencies for the setback alan fischer reports from jim warren was it was a night of frustration and questions in iowa after people cast their votes in the democratic caucuses the process of adding them up and sending them to headquarters was plagued with technical issues it created a terrible image as the country watched the 1st real contests that the 2020 election tun into a farce meeting it was the candidates decided to claim victory and move on leaving iowa and its problems behind pending sanders is looking like the eventual winner of

the self described democratic socialist finish tonight or 2nd 4 years ago now he believes he's taken a big step to securing the democratic nomination to date more the beginning of the end donald trump was here mose dangerous president in modern american history the biggest loser of the night is shaping up to be former vice president joe biden for a man who campaigned on electability it's not clear to even phoenician the top 3 normally that would kill a campaign he played to continue so it's on a new hampshire exteriorize south carolina well beyond during this time of. elizabeth warren seems to me to solace sure it was suggested the massachusetts senator would be competing for the same grind with bernie sanders she says the result sends

a message tonight she's already showed that americans have a deep hunger for big structural change it was also a good night for the youngest candidate in the field near people to judge had no problem the clearing victory by all. all indications we are going on to new hampshire victory. for others there's a question of how long they can sustain their campaign no filters are beginning to have their say. on the republican side no technical problems and a clear and predictable win for president donald trump his 2 opponents but even getting 3 percent of the vote as the campaign jeweled out of iowa all were demanding to know what went wrong it's not a good look for the democrats as a far step on the road to the white house it's also not good news for iowa which is keen to retain its 1st in the nation status when it comes to help picking the

candidates alan fischer al-jazeera demoing lets us speak to brendan o'connor who's an associate professor of american politics at the university of sydney as united states studies center and he's joining us via skype from sydney itself hi thanks for joining us on the news hour how would you describe your problems in iowa how much of a setback is this for democrats. well it's very anticlimactic some people have been lighting. this is the disappointment of not winning the election thinking that the democrats do this and i. think democrats. are not saying really very much of an american lot. started going to chronic or democratic side. for the senate and trying to win in america last night that would bring in the normal. momentum so it's a bit of all round really. is very concerned about the electoral

system and the questions with the quote this is a sitcom i didn't listen they really choosing a president and it. was many of being that one of the shadows and having union smart united states and then probably don't from being acquitted and in the senate. yeah and speaking of donald trump i mean how will this nicer you know some people calling it the democratic the democrats embarrassing night how is it going to help the president's and particularly as you're saying with the state of the union an impeachment vote coming up this week. well like right in the atmosphere. confusion and crisis and implying that since since aaron called me one of the big god from from the white house i ought to be confident and see if. the democrats look well organized managing their own well

not a good stock but the primary part is the study it went wrong long some will say that is when it good to have the fights counted correctly from a very complicated system so i think this will go down again. in the future because last. night but i think it's much that new hampshire primary next wednesday massada south carolina where the shot rolls on and i think is why this will be forgotten within chalets. eyes keep rolling across the united states but will questions i mean you talk about some the questions that will be raised as a result of this what about the integrity of the whole process will democrats be questioning whether integrity was maintained it'll be interesting to see how the campaigns themselves respond once the numbers start coming in if the candidates

don't agree with the numbers. and that's probably why they didn't rush it out. saying that a new rat that was the huge physical cow. out there might as well get it hardly right place down in the dirty harry from some of these great very sleepy areas outside or past from california in the last election not being probably out of some of. the slow and the science rather than rush out. of the incorrect but it is the night tripper partisan i was people had the cold this isn't the hell smoked out a whole. study is not an element of the thing and democracy. was 25th century so the silicon valley s nice to think for free

diet got together entirely well only saying it was not. quite that disappointing because america probably made the shock. that its democracy can function and found back. well right ok we'll leave it there brendan o'connor thank you for speaking to us from sydney my place to. know when young former president daniel arap moi who led the country for 24 years has died and during his time in power from 1978 to 2002 he had absolute all 40 over political and judicial systems violently repressing calls for political change preference oil looks back on his life and career. was daniel are up more in kenya 2nd president ceded power in 2002 after

24 years of what was seen as autocratic leadership many called him the accidental president he came from my minority ethnic community called the token was regarded as being not as charismatic as other leaders and was humiliated by clothes that friends of founding president john working atta when morley was his deputy when kenyatta died why to cova and was seen as a shrewd and calculating politician president mourners always kept in mind that his 1st duty is to the people of kenya as head of state he'll be remembered for his passion about education and other social programs he gave the go ahead to build schools universities health centers and charges across the country is selfless personal example has given kenyans a new sense of urgency and purpose but he also spearheaded a campaign to protect the environment passing a leading efforts to build fortifications to prevent soil erosion. present

a more deserve accidentals as a populist populist to wanted to be seen as a compassionate. and they wanted to be seen as a god fearing figure but everything that he did went to contrary to what what he wanted the people to believe some analysts say the timing point for his leadership was in the 982 quick temper by a group of soldiers and politicians in the years that followed his government ordered a violent crackdown on opponents some blame for plotting the coup thousands were detained and tortured though the country remained broadly stable ethnic clashes in some parts became common especially during elections. divide and rule like most politicians do you know that's how he kept. he remained at the helm but then he had to be ability to see when he was not.

always provided on the. tension is credited by many for allowing a peaceful transition of power to his successor why keep backing but by the time he retired critics argue that the economy was in drains with extremely high rates of unemployment and poverty in addition to all that corruption patronage and tribalism had been nominally his most kenyans just wanted him gone. he's a lawyer he's a political analyst as well he's joining us from nairobi thanks for your time with us on the news hour so his critics call him an authoritarian leader and his allies credits him with maintaining stability in the country where do you stand in this debate. well as you have the boat the 3 tenors in that more you did visit. some extend in kenya.

my stand would be very possible because my very media. member of my family was detained by. the late former president and so it is with that memory that i personally look at it he's. i was young and many of us were young when some of these things is happening in the country but as you rightly put it it depends on who you us there are those who will fondly remember more you are you just need to look at the social media platforms in the country and see the discussions going on there those who fondly remember him for his social program the. program for primaries school children that he produced when he was president there was as you heard before were talking about the educational institutions that he did help.

through. self-help programs but again the heavy hand of all 3 terry. where some will recall it was a test court will recall that many what. many what detained without trial and many love lost lives in trying to liberate kenya from. but also from the politics that while i'm speaking in the parlance they saw another side of the mill here in 1982 when he survived that coup attempt how decisive was that incident in shaping of the type of president he came to be. quite decisive and significantly saw because when more he came into power he was seen to be very very compassionate as been stated to be very pro people and to be almost

a very soft kind of president but after 982 i think that's when the clothes his clothes started showing and he started hitting buck for those who he did seem to to to perceive. his regime and his president and also that to a very unfortunate time because it did help to entrench tribal politics. a. politics in the country where he did. push away and push buck people from ethnicities that what deemed unfriendly to his rule and promote those that didn't seem to be. helping his regime sustain so the patronage system the issues to do with the how even politics and the issues that kenyans are grappling and struggling with to be right

very much find their roots post 982 ok we thank you very much bob kanga for speaking to us from nairobi now we'll stay in kenya where at least 14 children have been killed during a stampede at a school it happened in a western region or students were leaving the building to go 40 other students were injured in the cross there was no clear cause for the panic and they're investigating what went wrong. malawi must hold a new vote for president within 5 months after the results of last year's election was thrown out peter with a rico was returned to power for a 2nd term in may prompting opposition protests but the constitutional court has ruled there were widespread irregularities. more. than. it was a unanimous decision 5 constitutional court judges not if i'm

let's get a check on the weather now with kevin that's right we got some messy conditions across europe but there are some places across europe that are actually very mild right now and that is here across the bering peninsula up towards bilbao actually the temperatures the air temperatures are actually so warm that these people decided to get into the bay of biscay unfortunate the thames was in the water about 13 degrees there i don't think they stayed in the water too long down towards seville it felt more like spring and that's going to continue over the next few days but the big weather system that is really changing the weather across europe is this right here across central europe that are of low pressure with adjoining fronts now we're seeing some very windy conditions associated with that wind gusts right now across parts of france gusting up to about 100 kilometers per hour that is going to continue for the rest of day today we're also seeing widespread rain widespread snow across much of the area as we go towards tomorrow that is going to continue notice all the snow the rain changing to snow then down towards the south

that is where most of the energy is going to be shifting as we go towards the end of the week but in terms of the snow across much of the area we're going to be seeing anywhere between about $50.00 to $60.00 centimeters here across the alps over towards the ukraine 50 down towards turkey probably about 40 centimeters there and it's here across the eastern med over the next few days we're going to be dealing with some very very gusty winds not just for the eastern part of the med but also down here across the northern part of africa we will keep you updated on that towards the end of the week back to you daryn thank you very much for that well still ahead on the al-jazeera news hour the chinese community in the philippines is facing growing hostility over the corona virus outbreak last evolution. is basically a result and i believe that it's why residents of india's capital want pollution brought to the top of the political agenda. coming up in support the italian veteran who shows no sign of slowing down after 21 years and we will have more

hacking or an intrusion. kenya's former president daniel are up more has died more like the country for more than 2 decades is governments was criticized for violently repressing those who spoke out against its leaders are. now returning to our top story and that's the spread of the coronavirus is chilling reports of racism and xenophobia towards the chinese in the philippines the asian nation confirmed its 1st death from the virus on saturday prompting a temporary travel ban to and from china to below reports from manila. empty streets empty shops and restaurants this is manila chinatown bustling on almost any day of the year but recent days have been anything but normal beer script the city's chinese community a cyclone of virus outbreak continues to spread the community itself has now become

a target of discrimination on facebook photos of chinese businessmen distributing face masks were met with offensive comments this one reads you can keep those face masks go home to china one university was criticised for a memo requiring isolation for all its chinese students regardless of travel history. a number of chinese schools however took it a step further by suspending classes altogether for 2 weeks the beauty of the beauty that we have because it was like a prototype and i think you know. because you know it's also about. you i know. many people. and it's not just in the philippines elsewhere in asia there are examples on social media a growing hostility against those who chinese if the city leaders of the chinese filipino community however say the issue of racism has been blown out of proportion

you know this could mean anything the chinese were going there this would mean the thing is the koran of the good though then the or this from the bin those came from and then his coughing in the reserve in the bin as i would do think him. community leaders and health department officials have nonetheless come together to address the allegations of racism and so find ways to help each other in preventing the further spread of the virus as recently as last week hundreds of tourists from china and even will haunt the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak or being allowed into the philippines that seems to have fed into the alarm we're seeing now and to some extent what many are saying is you know phobia philippine government has also barred entry of foreigners would recent travel history to china and its autonomy as regions but with the country having been the 1st to record the death of outside china some worry that move may be too late barnaby lo al-jazeera

government targets killing dozens of troops the strikes were launched after several turkish soldiers and one civilian died from shelling in syria's rebel held in the province and ankara has now sent more reinforcements to the area and is threatening further action. more. towns and villages and don't press syria under attack by government jets. a grim reality throughout the 90 a civil war. for the 1st time the government to seoul today has put turkey on the syrian regime it direct military confrontation. os off to turkey sent military reinforcements into syria which it says was to prevent more bloodshed in the province its soldiers and civilians came under attack prompting a retaliation from ancora yeah

a good day. how is all of this and what we see is an aerial assault by regime forces an adlib which result in a people dying and we concluded that it was unacceptable and retaliation was carried out. the u.n. says it's along this escalation underscores yet again the threat to regional and international peace and security post caused by the ongoing conflict in syria. we also remain deeply concerned by the continue reports of civilian casualties large scale displacement of civilians. turkey says nearly a 1000000 people are moving towards its border to escape the relentless bombing campaign by the syrian government it's fast capturing towns and villages in it live at aleppo provinces leaving destroyed neighborhoods and devastated families homeless once again in syria's harsh winter. this found the if 9 never stood

a chance or do you know that a diverse communities he these people were coming they were displaced we heard the airstrike we came running and found the bus burning inside it there were bodies small children. over the past few weeks syrian government forces have been trying to secure 2 major highways that link cities under government control and isolate the rebels the m 4 highway runs from west to east and the m 5 highway from north to south connecting aleppo to the capital damascus and latakia after the latest russian backed government advance some turkish observation posts built to monitor a cease fire need lib are now surrounded the russians are saying nothing really happened now turkey bombardment kind of in denial meaning that. we use wiggling space to try and find some kind of magic formula to prevent the herd on

collision the russian military 1st say have their own political interests inside syria where they're with one help the syrian regime to quins out their. strategies on the battlefield with dangerous consequences and a tragic human cost priyanka gupta all dizzy or israel has announced it's normalizing relations with sudan it follows a meeting between prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the head of sudan's sovereignty council. in uganda kerry falsities in west jerusalem and he says this is part of a wider strategy by the israeli leader. well the word from israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is pretty celebrate 3 he says that they've agreed to start a cooperation that will lead towards a normalization of relations between sudan and israel and he calls that history it is part of a wider strategy both in africa and in the middle east to try to get friendly

relations going with majority muslim and arab nations in the region and of course it comes very soon after the trump plan which was released last week which attracted at least not immediate arab state condemnation of course there was a rejection of that plan at the weekend and so there has been a slowing down of the provisions in that plan for potential annexation of the occupied west bank something that netanyahu had hoped to start moving on in this past weekend so it is about time given the fact that he's in the midst of an election campaign for another major foreign policy announcement of this one serves netanyahu very well it also serves sudan to some extent that the leader of sudan's been invited to washington so there's a recommendation from israel. as far as the prime minister's office is concerned

sudan is moving in a positive a positive direction away from iranian influence and also potentially provide something more practical for israel as well as airspace over sudan would make it much easier for israeli flights to fly directly to south america where there is a large jewish population president trump is set to deliver his state of the union address on the eve of his expected acquittal in the senate impeachment trial kimberly halkett looks ahead to what the president is likely to say. during the senate impeachment trial to decide whether to remove him from office u.s. president donald trump said he'd like to address his accusers directly sort of love to the front row and stare in their corrupt faces on tuesday he'll get the chance when he delivers his annual state of the union address to the u.s. congress it will be the 1st time trump speaks to lawmakers as a president who has been impeached it will also come just one day before trump's

impeachment trial is expected and we're going acquittal. meanwhile administration officials insist the president who likes to go on the attack will instead focus on his successes. the speeches titled the great american comeback trump is expected to tout the solid job market low unemployment and health care advances. trump will also continue to promote his wall of the southern border which is caustic the u.s. billions of dollars in spite of his promise that mexico would pay for it foreign policy officials are being deliberately vague on the content but expect the ongoing trade war with china to get at least a mansion and the killing of ice a leader abu bakar al big daddy by u.s. forces in october as well but. 6 last year trump delivered his remarks as the justice department conducted an investigation into allegations

trump's campaign worked with the russians if there is going to be peace and legislation there cannot be war and investigation but aside from that brief mention trump steered clear of any vitriol and that's why it's so incumbent on this president to look presidential so this is an opportunity for the president to actually set the stage for what another 4 year term in office will look like with president trump's expected acquittal in the senate both republicans and democrats are now leaving the decision on trump's future to u.s. voters in november election can really help get al jazeera the white house so the impeachment trial of donald trump is nearing its end as you're hearing after both sides delivered their closing arguments on monday senators who have a chance to deliver a closing speeches but trump is expected to be acquitted by the republican majority

train back on wednesday on the president's legal team say it should be up to voters to decide his fate in november's election democrats say trump pressured ukraine to investigate a political rival and that he'll continue to use his power. today we urge you in the face of overwhelming evidence of the president's guilt and knowing that if left in office he will continue to seek foreign interference in the next election to vote to convict on both articles of impeachment and to remove from office donald j. trump the 45th president of the united states now cancer is the world's 2nd biggest killer the only thing that causes more deaths is heart disease but the world health organization says millions of lives could be saved if the gap between rich and poor nations can be bridged around one in 6 deaths are caused by cancer last year or killed nearly 10000000 around the world and the number of cancer cases has grown sharply in the last 10 years it's expected to nearly double over the next 2 decades

lung cancer is the deadliest type accounting for more than 18 percent of deaths colon cancers are the 2nd deadliest type that's followed by stomach cancers which cause more than 8 percent of deaths the world health organization says more than $2000000.00 people die every year from cancer caused by so bako products and air pollution is also leading to an increase in cases and accounts for 29 percent of deaths and diseases from lung cancer dr andre bo is a cancer control technical officer at the world health organization and he says by investing in cancer care then poorer countries can save money in the long run. we know that the cancer burden in poor countries is increasing quickly if we focus on prevention now we can avoid the cancer cases that we know will come in the next $23.00 decades at the same time we have to also invest in treatment capacity because many cancer patients who live in poor countries are unable to access even

the most essential of basic cancer services so if you're going to tackle this major cancer and public health challenge we have to do both prevention and control because in fact there are many lifestyle changes that we can make that will reduce our cancer risk for colon cancer as an example we know that diet makes a big difference both the foods that we eat and the risk that we have to develop obesity that is related to the foods that we eat those 2 factors significantly impact the likelihood that an individual will develop cancer there are many countries that are struggling to get health on the agenda because there are limited resources and there is a perception that diseases have to compete amongst each other but what we've done with this report this is show that cancer should not be seen as a competing disease in fact if we invest wisely we can save lives and add societal value that is in the form of reentry into employment productivity gains and broader

societal benefits it's one of the most polluted cities in the world and the people of new delhi or parts of vote in local elections this week when they are demanding action to improve air quality in the indian capital last year air pollution levels were 40 times the limit set by the world health organization let's withdraw them story from. jane up to me that lives in one of the poorest neighborhoods of the deadly region it's also one of the most polluted the tiny home she shares with 6 other members of a family backs on to the 2nd biggest dumping ground in the city toxic air from the dump is just one of the hazards that the 40000 residents of. i have to live with. the doctor says that besides my lungs my kidneys are also affected now he told me to stop going to the landfill that you're not going to live a very long but i said if i stop going to the landfill who's going to feed my children. jane oben others and make
