politically. we are we the people we live to tell the real story i'll just mended used to deliver in-depth journalism in cuba. across the globe. he poses in leeds and iowa partial results are announced in the democratic caucus after a day of chaos. by paramount concern is making sure that you are accurate reflect what happened last night. and i'm the stars here today and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up a president trump was quick to seize on that delay in iowa as he prepares for his

state of the union speech and expected acquittal in his impeachment trial. a number of deaths from the coronavirus grows again in china but the world health organization says the outbreak is not a pandemic plus. parents in shock as they struggle to understand how 14 of their children died in a stampede at the kenyan school. now it was meant to be the fast opportunity for democratic presidential hopefuls to make their case to voters ahead of the race to the white house boss it's taken almost 24 hours after the iowa caucuses the partial results to be released now with 62 percent of the votes counted the position is marginally ahead of bernie sanders as if warren is former vice president joe biden is back and 4th place the

democratic party has apologized for the long delay in announcing the results calling it unacceptable. we have been working day and night to make sure that these results are accurate the one thing i will say is that the underlying data the raw data is secure it was always secure this was a coding error in in one of the pieces on the backend but the raw data the data that has come in is secure and i can assure iowans of that. paper this is a has held what he describes as an astonishing victory in iowa this is what we have been working. for that if you're to convince our think we're. going to do better vision can bring about new and better then and now we come to new hampshire this is the fetus we think for itself. and this we enter this tuesday's this is we get to this new hampshire to support decision and then go on i have never been more

confident in our campaign you know our team and then this is the broadest at this point well alan 1st says in des moines way he says but it has early victory was unexpected. these are early results so what you've got to remember is that people to judge will move getting some results from the local precincts last night before everything was essentially locked down he was leading in some of them and then bernie sanders came back in others so it's still too early to draw any great conclusion from it but certainly people to judge is doing much better than expectations much better than predicted people thought he could possibly come in 3rd here in iowa if he's coming in 2nd that is a real boost for his campaign the problem of course with the democrats. and the campaigns they've lost a real opportunity here to send a good message instead everything is about the process that seems to have failed

the out that didn't work the results that didn't happen the fact that no one can say hello to iowa into new hampshire saying that they have momentum and look to boost their fundraising on the back of that this has been really badly handled by the democrats there is a big error here the fact that they've got 60 percent of the results coming out people are saying well when will we get the others they say well as soon as we verify them it just seems like this has been a mess from start to finish that they didn't test the up the didn't do the necessary jew diligence on let's speak to bill schneider who's joining me live now from washington d.c. he's a political analyst and also a public policy professor at george mason university bill this has undoubtedly been a huge mess and i was not only the coding error that caused all this but the way that that that the that the democratic party itself has dealt with it how damaging is this for them going forward. well it's slightly damaging but we'll see what

happens is a long primary season ahead alan fischer was correct no one comes out of this with any real momentum in fact his only negative momentum and that's for joe biden who had a disappointing 4th place finish 4th place finish bernie sanders was expected to have a big win he didn't mayor pete did very well he did surprisingly well better than expected but it's going to be very difficult for him to be able to claim the nomination well as we were saying earlier a lot of the verses in iowa when making their decision seemingly based on electability and as we were just saying that joe biden coming a distant 4th is this the beginning of the end for him especially as his entire campaign is basically premised on his electability it's certainly disappointing for him and he probably won't do terribly well next week in new hampshire because they have 2 local candidates who are running from new england one from vermont senator sanders another from massachusetts elizabeth warren who are well known and well

liked by new hampshire democrats so it's going to be hard for biden to come in strong in new hampshire he's got to give a strong showing in south carolina at the end of february where the a majority of the democratic voters are african-american that's what he's going to have to rely on. bill one went from this debacle in iowa seems to potentially be michael bloomberg i see he is now doubling his ad spending how much could this help him. it could really help him because it while biden claimed electability didn't really didn't materialize my mayor bloomberg michael bloomberg is running on electability on his credibility is someone who can beat donald trump now biden has a lot of enemies from the left wing the progressive wing of the party they voted for bernie sanders bloomberg is not trusted by the progressive democrats he will have to fight for the nomination but bloomberg has got to make a strong showing on march 3rd

a month from now which is super tuesday he's relying on that and boy is he spending money he's hiring 2000 people around the country to work on his campaign i mean it's amazing how much money he's spending the question is can you do with just money. snyder that approach this calloused and public policy professor at george mason university thank you for joining us again on al-jazeera. now the republican and democratic leaders of the senate have traded bob's ahead of wednesday's vote in the impeachment trial of donald trump trump is widely expected to be acquitted on charges of abuse of power and the obstruction of congress last week the senate rejected the chance to hear from additional witnesses senate republican leader mitch mcconnell to announce the democrats may have to impeach trotta while the minority leader chuck schumer accused the republicans of hiding the truth it's hard to believe that house democrats ever really thought this reckless and precedent breaking process would yield 67 votes across the rubicon

was their vision so clouded by partisanship that they really believed they really believed this would be anywhere near enough for the 1st presidential removal in american history or was success to the point. it was just an effort to hijack our institution for a month long political rally the majority leader can come up on the floor and repeat his talking points but there are some salient points that are irrefutable the 1st this is the 1st impeachment trial of the president or a trial impeachment trial of anybody else that was completed that has no witnesses and no documents the american people are just amazed that our republican friends would not even ask for witnesses and documents. while in just 2 hours the us president will deliver his state of the union address on the eve of that expected

acquittal in the senate impeachment trial donald trump's speech is titled the great american comeback he is expected to use it as a reelection platform focusing on jobs and the economy will be making the address in the house of representatives the same chamber where he was impeached last month and a number of democrats are expected to boycott the event for the white house correspondent can be how it is live at capitol hill for us kimberly when bill clinton had to do this the state of the union during his impeachment proceedings he didn't mention the impeachment i was at once can we expect the same of trump. we can't ever be sure what to expect from donald trump he is consistently inconsistent i like to say and i think that's true of this this state of the union address but what we have seen in the past is that donald trump has stuck to the teleprompter for the most part during the state of the union address this is 3rd we don't typically see twitter trump but if we look back to when he was under the cloud of

the investigation the rusher probe by the special counsel robert muller he didn't exactly rail against his opponent so we expect that we might see the same thing this time with regard to the fact that the impeachment cloud does hang over this address as you pointed out the president making this address in the house of representatives where he was impeached and even though he's expected to be acquitted in the u.s. senate across the capital in about 24 hours or less there's no question that it has had an impact on the tone of this event will tell us a little more about the tone of this can be an election year presumably an upbeat speech. we certainly know that the president is expected to outlet some of his top policy goals we expect that the president will talk about tax cuts as something he sees as a success the low unemployment the strong economy but as you mentioned not everyone

is particularly pleased with the president's what he sees this is accomplishment so far there are 8 democrats who will not be in attendance alexandria cassio cortez is one of them she said that she feels that by attending this would normalize terms lawless conduct and his subversion of the constitution there are also the members of his own party who are not sure what to expect of this president in fact there was a republican member that was speaking not a short time ago but just in the last hour or so nearby where i'm standing right now he said that when it comes to the president he doesn't know what a low key speech is so it's very possible that we could see this president tempted to rail against his opponents but i think most people are looking for this president to kind of be respectful of the body in which he is addressing the house of representatives and sort of reflect on that moment but again this is a president we're never sure what to expect and so we're watching very carefully to see just how he takes this moving forward given the fact that he is not yet

acquitted of that impeachment charge house correspondent live for us on capitol hill thank you committee. well still ahead. israel says it's establishing diplomatic ties with. a secret meeting between the 2 countries. opposition celebrates after a court rules that. rings. hollow the weather slushy quiet now across china at present to across the southern parts of japan but we have got some rain some sleet and snow into northern honshu into

hello again you're watching out of there a reminder of our top stories this hour partial results from the iowa caucuses put people just slightly ahead with senator bernie sanders coming in 2nd in iowa democratic party officials have apologized for and the 24 hour delay in the release of those results citing a technical glitch with the u.s. president will soon deliver his state of the union address on the eve of his expected acquittal in the senate impeachment trial donald trump is expected to use it as a reelection platform focusing on jobs and the economy. now authorities in the chinese city of say they are conversing an additional 8 buildings into hospitals to treat patients suspected of having the coronavirus a total of 11 buildings will now house $10000.00 people at least 490 people have died in china a nearly $25000.00 and now infected that includes 10 new cases on

a cruise ship that's currently in lockdown in japan the world health organization says the corona virus outbreak is showing no signs of mutation and has not caused a pandemic well the w.h.o. is also a warning of the dangers of misinformation during an outbreak. when you deal with epidemic. disease that in addition to the epidemic of diseases we often have an epitome of information and this is what we call in for demick and it's really a nippy dimmick of rumors of false information that is circulating at the same time and every outbreak as it is in food in mc and so we have realized over time that this in for them it could be really. a call for a good response and humper effective implementation of countermeasures well earlier i spoke to peter de hotez he's a professor at the baylor college of medicine and he says any sort of vaccine will

still be at least months away. the actual technology to develop a vaccine against this virus may not be so challenging because it's relatively straightforward we have to prevent the binding of the virus to its host receptor in the long and there are several different technologies that you could use to do that the issue is with coronaviruses we know there's a particular problem as with some other respiratory virus vaccines in some cases the vaccine can make things worse it's this phenomena known as an a body dependent and handsome and so we've got to really do careful safety testing to make sure that doesn't happen our vaccine does not seem to do that and laboratory animals but now we've got to confirm that in people so it's not a quick fix it's going to take a few months to to do that so we'll see how this plays out there's a lot of variables that are in place right now another is the seasonality of these coronaviruses historically coronaviruses tend to peak in winter then they've declined precipitously in the spring and summer months so that's

a possible scenario that could play out as well at least in the northern hemisphere so the world health organization is not the clear this a pandemic just yet because there's not sustained transmission and multiple countries but we're getting really close so we'll have to see how that pans out as well. now draft wording for a u.n. resolution seen by al-jazeera cause the u.s. president's proposal to solve the israeli palestinian conflict a quote breach of international law the plan which was unveiled by donald trump last week allows israel to annex large parts of palestinian land about ikeda to james bay as has more from un headquarters in new york. the pushback against the trump plan on the middle east has begun here at the united nations i've seen wording for a draw resolution for the security council drawn up by the palestinians by tunisia the current arab member of the council and by another security council member indonesia the wording says strongly regret the fact that the trump plan is

a breach of international law that's very strong wording and it's very interesting i was told earlier by an arab diplomat but they didn't want to criticize directly the trump plan because they wanted to get their support for this resolution from 2 permanent members the u.k. and france the palestinian ambassador has made it clear he already knows how the u.s. is going to vote we know it will be defeated by a veto but we want to show that the international community is the reflecting the same position. by all of us and articulated by the secretary general today again as he articulated that days ago when this very bad plan. announced in washington d.c. negotiations on the wording of this resolution will continue later this week in the

palestinian president mahmoud abbas will be here in new york on tuesday when the resolution is voted on by the security council. now techie's president. says attacks on his soldiers in syria damage wider peace efforts in the region he has warned his russian counterpart vladimir pray. as in the turkey will defend itself against any future attacks turkey's military had dozens of syrian government targets on monday after 8 turkish military personnel were killed by shelling instead the kremlin says persian and other one have agreed to take steps to coordinate the actions of their militaries in northwest syria well the united nations says more than a half a 1000000 syrians have been displaced in the northwest of the country just in the past 2 months the syrian government backed by russia is trying to take the last rebel held area which is mostly made up of province the u.n. says many people are in urgent need of food and shelter in just 2 months more than

520000 people have been displaced from their homes the vast majority of them being women and children many of the displaced have left with nothing but the clothes on their back or what they could pile onto ramshackle vehicles and the urgently need shelter food water and sanitation support health support emergency education and not least protection and an additional 280000 people from urban centers on the m 4 in 5 highway axes that runs through the area are at imminent risk of displacement of ongoing military operations continue. the head of sudan's sovereign council has defended his meeting with the israeli prime minister saying it's to protect national security. benjamin netanyahu in uganda on monday the sudanese cabinet says it was not informed in advance and the main protest group the forces of freedom and change have rejected the meeting saying it was a violation of the policy on foreign relations the palestinian leadership has

called the meeting a stab in the back while the strain in relations can be traced all the way back to 1967 when in the aftermath of the arab israeli war sudan hosted a summit where several arab nations decided not to recognize nor negotiate with israel israel for years considered sudan a security threat because of what it said was its support of armed groups under former leader of al bashir israel also believe that iran used sudan to smuggle weapons into the gaza strip and bashir accused israel of attacking a munitions factory in khartoum in 2012 and also an arms convoy in 2009 well anti-government protests are continuing in algeria demonstrators are still demanding political reform despite president of logic to boone's election in december the mass action that led to abdul aziz beautifully his resignation began almost a year ago and many people want to fish will link to him to leave their positions president of iran has pledged political and economic reforms but protesters have

rejected his election while the ruling party in malawi is considering its next move after monday's ruling by the constitutional court and now last year's presidential election results he said was rica narrowly won a 2nd term but months of protests followed over alleged voting irregularities the has more from the capital a long way. there are no bases his business has been slow for months months of anti-government protests over last year's disputed presidential election sometimes made coming to work to sell his goods difficult constitutional court judges recently said that focus marred by widespread irregularities some people may have voted more than once there with ballot stuffing and some numbers were changed using typewriter correction fluid they nullified mase election results and ordered a rerun the businessman says living in a country that seems to always be in election mode isn't good for his profits. as

business people. to survive here in town we need to have to be. aware so it is very difficult for us to make business. after kenya malawi is not the 2nd country in sub-saharan africa to recently have a presidential vote overturned the court has ruled that piece of metallica's stays in power until a new election takes place parliament is expected to meet within 21 days set a date for that election from allowance it means more political and economic uncertainty. the opposition is still celebrating monday's court ruling and many are preparing for a new election opposition leaders want election officials fired what the judges of done is to give parliament an order to make sure that what they have. in terms of a fresh election in 150 days should happen and so we will look to parliament now to make sure that these things. are put in place that it is

actually possible but i don't believe that anybody will have confidence in this electoral commission. ruling party officials say they are considering the options they have 2 options. to stick in follow the ruling. and the get ready for a fresh election. and that means a lot of politicking within the party. with the person a candidate who will continue to be the candidate in the fresh elections or they want to change and things like that the 2nd option is for them to go to the supreme court and appeal. but if they really have to look very critically head to the ruling to find you know suitable grounds for appeal if a legal challenge is launched some here fear it will lead to further crisis al-jazeera. now the kenyan government says it's investigating how 14 children died
