12:02 pm
this reason on a previous full wage at the end of last month it seems that 3 passengers became infected now those passengers of thought to be from the mainland because the alert has come from health officials in china they contacted officials from hong kong's center for health prevention on wednesday morning to raise the alarm as a result officials from the center now on board the vessel in protective clothing they are taking the temperature of all passengers aboard the vessel it's not clear though what is going to happen after that because of course as we know this virus has a very long incubation period you can have the virus but not show any symptoms so the dilemma i guess for hong kong authorities is do they effectively quarantine these people aboard the vessel for the next 14 days or allow some of them to go if they're not showing signs of the virus we know this vessel had actually left hong kong in early february and about 4 days ago its sales of vietnam which is not too
12:03 pm
far away also dock to the mainland and then wanted to sail on to taiwan but was denied permission to dock there finally coming back to hong kong it's a reminder really of the many different ways at the moment this virus has to spread and just an update on what adrian was saying about hong kong and the leader kerry has been speaking and she says that anyone entering the territory from mainland china will be quarantined for 14 days for signs of the virus meanwhile japan has also quarantined a cruise ship with more than 3000 passengers 10 people who are on board are confirmed to have the virus all those on the vessel are now facing up to 2 weeks of quarantine. china has seen its biggest jump in deaths from corona virus there were 65 more confirmed deaths that brings china's total death toll to 490 and the number of global cases has hit more than 24000 officials with the world health
12:04 pm
organization have called on all countries to improve data sharing on the coronavirus more than 2 dozen countries have reported the virus just to washington is on michu an island that's where indonesians citizens returning from china are under quarantine she says some locals are concerned there's a risk of having a quarantine center near them indonesia has somehow despite this virus spreading across this asia pacific region there is still no reported cases off the coronavirus here in indonesia but authorities are taking precautions those citizens who were evacuated from the who bay province have been brought here to then a tuna regency this is one of the more sponsored populated parts of indonesia those citizens are in quarantine at a military base and they'll be there for the duration of the viruses period so around 2 weeks but authorities are stressing that if even one of those passengers
12:05 pm
shows symptoms of the virus all of the evacuees will have their quarantine period extended beyond 2 weeks there was a bit of anxiety from the tuna locals who i suppose were sort of fearful that having the quarantine centers so close to where they live could in fact put them at risk so where i'm standing now is the town that is closest to the military base many of the locals actually left when they heard the news that the evacuees would be quarantined so close to their houses but since then some of those locals have returned they've been appeased by the sense that they have been told that none of the evacuees do have any symptoms of the virus. it's supposed to be a moment when the us comes together of a donald trump's 3rd state of the union address as instead emphasize the disunity in american politics he came face to face with the democrats who impeached him in the house of representatives a subject he avoided instead used his speech to relaunches re-election campaign
12:06 pm
heidi culhane reports that at stake. the president of the united states. a u.s. president impeached by the house walking in to face the full congress expected the senate will vote down the charges against him in the coming hours thank you the chants from the republicans in the chamber made it clear what this speech would be about his reelection the state of our union is stronger than ever before was the democratic response was this obvious they're out but for the president he saw this as his time to herald what he sees as his accomplishments this is a blue collar boom. thank you but many of his due to sticks were overblown out of context or simply untrue as with many other promises in this speech i have also made an ironclad pledge to american families we will always
12:07 pm
protect patients with preexisting conditions. his administration is actually in court trying to get some of those protections removed and his administration has rolled back most efforts to combat climate change but the president made this promise to protect the environment days ago i announced that the united states will join the one trillion trees an initiative an ambitious effort. in the democratic response some subtle attacks but they mostly focused on promoting their agenda it's pretty simple democrats are trying to make your health care better republicans in washington are trying to take it away but this speech will be remembered less for the substance than for the made for t.v. moments highlighting the president's past as a former television reality star he surprised the chamber by inviting one why don't know venezuela's opposition leader please take his message back that all americans are united with the venezuelan people in their righteous struggle for freedom thank
12:08 pm
you very much for. he had his wife present the presidential medal of freedom to an ellen conservative radio host and highlighted the family of a deployed soldier only to reveal he had come home. this was a night for symbolism planned and unprompted as he entered to give a speech the president seemed to refused to shake the hand of the speaker of the house and as it ended she sent her own message about what she thought of the speech the tension on full display the president departed making it clear he will fight to be back here next year and the opposition party will fight just as hard to make sure this will be his last party call him al jazeera washington ofter trump's address the house speaker explained why she tore up his speech. it was a manifesto but true and i wonder what you think about him not shaking your head.
12:09 pm
feel. like you take. your advice when others do the. same. not expect it. from you and as we mentioned the venezuelan opposition leader 1.0 attended the state of the union zeros latin america editor of the sea a new in his in santiago and she says why those invitation was very last minute certainly it was not expected in fact the invitation to attend the state of the union address wasn't even confirmed until it just took just a very very short time before it actually happened and what is also very notable was the expression on kwang why those face he was extremely stern and i would venture to say that the reason is that he has felt snubbed by president up until now remember that there was a highly anticipated meeting that was supposed to take place are expected to take
12:10 pm
place in florida in miami over the weekend not only that did not take place but the president went to his retreat to play golf instead did not invite why the law there did not invite him to the white house and and this certainly was seen as i say as a snub at the same time of course president trump probably did not want to draw too much attention to what has clearly become a foreign policy failure at least so far with regard to venezuela so at least one by the old can go home and it's expected he will do that very very shortly with this invitation under his sleeves. plummer's a democratic strategist he says while there were some obvious moments of tension there also shows of bipartisan support. with this particular state of the union we saw a very very different atmosphere whether it was president trump not extending his hand to the speaker or the speaker you know i think motioning throughout this
12:11 pm
speech her disapproval as well as tearing up the speech at the end it was a speech that was full of theatrical i think a lot of it hollow but there are areas where there was you know bipartisan support really was around those stories of those americans who have made sacrifices and or are benefiting from the actions of democrats as well as republicans the president has tried to take credit for things that he just did not do he is quite frankly lied and been dishonest about the impact of his policies whether we're talking about the growth that we have not seen compared to president obama whether we're talking about the number of jobs that were created compared to obama and president trump or whether we're even talking about the african-american employment rate which we saw decreased dramatically under president obama and has slowed down under president trump and so present trump has made a number of promises i will say that he tried to you know speak to what he said
12:12 pm
were his promises but i think many americans saw through that it was a dark speech it turns it was a speech that i don't think spoke to the reality of his policies and the impact that he has had more over i think those that have benefited under this president have been those who have generally benefited in general so you know those americans are actually able to afford to invest in the stock market etc. still ahead on al-jazeera. i'm alexia ryan in the thai capital bangkok where there is the corona virus could cause the terrorism and it's straight more than a $1000000000.00. and we're in peru where fishermen say they're risking their lives as they dive to make a living. hallow
