2:02 pm
some heard about it he's our correspondent standing by for us in istanbul speaking to us by telephone hashim what are you hearing about this. wales started yesterday when a bus was struggling in a mountainous area in back just a lie in vine province when there was a blizzard snow fall the weather condition was was very bad as the bus was stuck and the snow when the violence pit the area there's been a massive rescue operation underway the rescuers managed to. risk you dozens of people fortunately 8 people were killed in that incident but how was it when the rescue operation was underway another of aunt's hit the area raising concerns about many people still trapped and. there's been a 1st under way to look for survivors but this is an area that
2:03 pm
faces bad harsh with conditions snow falls and raising many concerns among people that this could hinder the rescue operation in the coming hours yeah has and that's what i wanted to ask you about so any more clarity on what exactly this means for the rescue operation currently underway. when you see the 1st images of the frantic rescue operation underway parts of about bodies buried under the. under the snow really gives you an impression that this is going to take quite some time for them to be able to clear the whole area and to make sure that they had managed to rescue all the people still trapped there's no sense of clarity about the number of people. missing in the operation the biggest concern now for the rescue operators is that on one hand you
2:04 pm
have many civilians who have want to take part in the rescue operation this is mike leigh's many concerns in the coming hours in the bar to concern is the bad weather condition now in one province particularly in. discrete districts and they're concerned that with the snowfall expected to continue over the coming hours and the coming days this could still love the rescue operation and the chances for looking for survival survivors the risk limb ok has some will cross back to you later thank you for that update from turkey. now authorities in hong kong have announced new border restrictions to contain the corona virus so anyone travelling from mainland china will go into compulsory quarantine for 14 days and here the other development so far on tuesday china saw its largest spike in deaths from the virus 65 in a single day that brings the number of dead there to
2:05 pm
a 490 people and thousands of passengers on 2 cruise ships in hong kong and japan have been quarantined japanese authorities have confirmed 10 cases on a vessel in yokohama while evacuations continue in who bay province at the center of the outbreak and on wednesday was about to stun flu out 84 of its citizens and put them under quarantine while the chinese government has opened new facilities for those infected with the coronavirus in who've a province but a scot heiler reports people and we are still concerned. trying to make the best of the lockdown. john and his family travel to holland for the new year even once the coronavirus locked down and they would place an additional 14 day quarantine when they get back home to shanghai like millions of other chinese across the country the children might be smiling but the adults are very concerned. how you feel what do what do you want to tell people out there
2:06 pm
how you feel and what it's like so i think every city is just the 1st on its. own. as it was and. was. no no no no no it's dr. tutu treaty and that's something he has had to speak with these children about age 2 to 13 i'm going to seriously. to do my. it won't. since. this is. schools photos show the empty streets of will haunt but the shelves in the supermarkets are not supplies he said are being brought in by the military like on the big concern for the central government here in beijing is increasing the medical capacity for the growing number of infected in
2:07 pm
a province more beds for the ill and more supplies for those treating them large gymnasiums in an exhibition center have been converted into makeshift hospitals in melbourne along with the 2 new hospitals built for the coronavirus completed this week there are now more than 6500 new beds for those infected but with the spread of the virus these new beds barely cover the increase of confirmed new cases and will be a problem from just the last week about how to al-jazeera beijing let's cross over to hong kong and speak to adrian brown he's joining us from the cruise terminal in hong kong that's where the core unseen truce ship is docked so what led to the circumstances for that cruise ship to be quarantined and what happens to it next danger in. well yes as you rightly point out to rename the odyssey of the dream world ocean liner is now at an end this vessel is going nowhere the $3000.00 or so passengers and crew aboard are now
2:08 pm
in effective quarantine why well that's because of a previous 4 age that the dreamworld undertook that was in mid january now what happened on wednesday was that mainland officials contacted their counterparts in hong kong to say that they had 3 confirmed infections from this vessel they now knew that 3 people on this boat had become infected but what hong kong says is that on january the 25th 200 people left this vessel went ashore in hong kong before they knew of course about those 3 infections and the hunt is now on to find those $200.00 people all of them hong kong citizens it has to be said at the moment everyone on board is being screened they're being checked but we don't know for how long they will be remaining in quarantine but i think it's fair to assume that given what kerry lamb said earlier on today about basically forcing everyone coming
2:09 pm
across the border from the mainland into hong kong to go into mandatory 14 day quarantine that everyone on this boat is probably going to be basically in the same situation now what kerry has announced is going to have a profound impact because about 100000 hong kong people commute to the mainland every day they work just across the border in shen's and so those people are going to be very worried about their jobs now the government says that this mandatory 14 day quarantine will not come into effect until saturday to give those people time to prepare but it is another reminder now of how increasingly isolated hong kong is becoming from the mainland and in a further blow today to hong kong's economy cathay pacific has said that it wants its 27000 employees to take 3 weeks unpaid leave between now and june
2:10 pm
ok adrian thanks very much for that update from hong kong. it's supposed to be a moment when the us comes together but donald trump's 3rd state of the union address has instead emphasized the disunity in american politics he came face to face with the democrats who impeached him in the house of representatives a subject you avoided instead he used a speech to relaunches reelection campaign as party culhane reports that at stake. the president of the united states. a u.s. president impeached by the house walk in to face the full congress expected the senate will vote down the charges against him in the coming hours thank you was 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 there out but for the
2:11 pm
president he saw this as his time to herald what he sees as his accomplishments this is a blue collar boom. 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 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 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
2:12 pm
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 all americans are united with the venezuelan people in their righteous struggle for freedom thank you very much. 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
2:13 pm
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 well after trump's address the house speaker nancy pelosi explained why she tore up the speech. yes it was a manifesto of mr and why did what do you think about him not shaking your hand. off the optics stick to the kind of. leadership are you invited to notice to the. public not expecting everything if i'm on from that meeting still out on al-jazeera rallying to a different tune we look at the divide between english and french speakers ahead of cameroon elections we're also in peru where fishermen say they're risking their lives as they dive to make a living. from
2:14 pm

2:15 pm
it 7 degrees but then beijing's at 4 and beijing should be a little bit colder than that. there are no vast changes going on over india except we've seen showers in the dishes and i think in the full cost you'll see them moving up towards west bengal if the whole thursday then on friday which means few showers anywhere else in fact for the rest of india with the exception maybe at the bottom here where dry as we are in pakistan. from fossil fuels to modern day renewable as societies develop the energy demands increase requiring innovative solutions to meet such demands as a global power development of investment companies nebraska power is uniquely positioned to deliver against the stigma we provide business growth promote social economic benefits and provide innovative safe and in foreign mentally sound energy

solutions for future generations the breast pioneering future energy. oh. hello again the top stories on al-jazeera this hour at least 20 people are still missing after an avalanche in eastern turkey rescue workers were searching for victims of an earlier avalanche when the 2nd one hits let's get an update from our correspondent in istanbul what. talk us through the 2nd that has now hits and the fates off those who've been reported missing. well daryn it all started yesterday when an avalanche hit area.
2:17 pm
district in the some province of van a minibus was trapped and along with a snow clearing vehicle there and when you rescue operation started with many civilians who were trapped in those areas join the rescue operation to help the survivors and dozens of people were rescued but the number of those who were killed in the avalanche at 8 as we speak now about 3 hours ago when the rescue operation was under way a 2nd avalanche hit the area and many of the rescue. staff were. in the clothing civilians now we do understand that in but just what i wish is the rounded by huge mountains is facing bad weather conditions with blizzards and snow falls which is hampering the rescue operation the government is saying
2:18 pm
that the rescue operation will continue but most likely even if you are sending more rescuers towards those areas we do understand that most of the roads are the network of the roads leading to but has been has been closed by the balance which is likely to further hamper the rescue operation and way we do understand also that dozens of people are still being. looked for believed to be missing since the 2nd. yeah has some and the latest numbers that we're getting are that 20 are now missing as a result of this 2nd avalanche so is the expectation that that number is going to climb . there's been loads of panic in that particular area and fronted rescue operation under way because when it started yesterday it literally speak we're talking about many people stranded in those areas so they are still finding it extremely
2:19 pm
difficult to establish the number of missing people from yesterday those who were not rescued those fear and the 2nd number of people who were under the snow with the 2nd of the loans. about 3 hours ago and this is why they're saying that they have managed to rescue a least $25.00 people over the last few hours but they are still concerned by the dozen more people and under the snow and with the blizzard ongoing and we're expecting more heavy snow falls in the coming hours in province it is extremely going to be extremely difficult for the rescue operation to establish the exact number of the people still missing or managed to get through to the those who were trapped by the about a while ago so it's going to be
2:20 pm
a frantic rescue operation under way for the coming hours to risk you those who are trapped under the snow ok it has to my head but i thank you very much. now will stay with turkey and the president there is threatening further action against their syrian government if its forces an adlib don't hold back the announcement comes 2 days after a 7 turkish soldiers and one civilian were killed by government shelling in rebel held in a province the turkish military says it's hit dozens of syrian government targets killing many troops enough a lot a lot of the problems out not only largely on the men are going on from now on we are not going to accept any steps that would be a violation of the agreements that we already have in the phone conversation i had with mr putin yesterday night i stressed that it. it liberates she needs to pull back to the stuff she agreement borders behind our observation points at this stage to club observation points are behind the regime lines hoping that in february withdrawal of the regime forces will be completed if the syrian regime does not
2:21 pm
pull back now turkey will act. malawi's president is to appeal against a court ruling overturning 3 election peter mubarak and their only want to 2nd term last year months of protest followed over accusations of vote rigging and on monday judges and the results saying it had been compromised by vote stuffing and altered ballots they ordered a new election within 150 days the president's spokesman called the decision a miscarriage of justice karma to the latest from malawi it's a long way. will the president is going to address the nation on when they're going to tell people what he's going. to school in the ruling party they would have thought of organizing the paperwork the legal documents for the appeal village go in they plan to file the paperwork at the supreme court the supreme court to say there is no case and throw the matter out or they could set
2:22 pm
a date to hear the matter what does it mean because the constitutional court has ordered that a for a solution has to be held within 150 days this appeal could delay the procedure so what will be up with this is the head of the n.c.p. party as a whole clearly has stated that the ruling party and the president have every right to appeal the constitutional court ruling but he is very confident that the president did not win the elections and he says opposes must take its course but of course the key thing of course is how the opposition supporters are going to react kristie days now they've been gathering at the party of course is here in the capital a long way to adding for these elections looking forward to the election. they are planning to hold them in stations and mosques in the capital and elsewhere. saying that you really want to take me to prove they say that they can't get one direction so they are being that the longer it takes to get the election they could be violence on the street if people go out on the street and potent is the very
2:23 pm
delicate face for people in malawi right now all i'll wait to see and hear what the president may be to people make wrong on when. it was meant to be the 1st opportunity for voters to put their democratic presidential choice in the upcoming election but it took almost 24 hours for partial results from the iowa caucus to be released they put pete marginally ahead of bernie sanders although both are claiming victory alan fischer reports from des moines. i think. for the democratic campaigns iowa is already in the rearview mirror they've moved on that in new hampshire the next step in this process results from iowa new problems. each candidate is telling everyone what a huge success they've been even if it looks like they've struggled where. is. going to. really be going well. in des moines an apology from the
2:24 pm
democratic party chairman that the system to count votes at the caucuses failed so spectacularly but he insists the results no being published can be trusted 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 conspiracy theorists online are suggesting the result is being manipulated that's not something bernie sanders is buying into you know there's no excuse for not having results but it's like but that doesn't mean to say but the votes at the polls like comment will be an awkward and i think that's an unfair i think to try to get the youngest candidate in the race former mayor people to judge is performing ahead of predictions and expectations but he's already looking forward to a similar result in new hampshire this weekend this tuesday's this is we get to
2:25 pm
this new hampshire just for decision. i have never been more times than in argument here you know i don't see and this is the this is the failure and i want to deliver results quickly and clearly has amplified calls to drop the state as the 1st in the nation to vote in the presidential process but one experience political observer says there's no obvious solution that doesn't mean that they rest of the nation will come up with the alternative that everybody can agree on new hampshire has a primary so that straight up election style voting the next state to hold a caucus is nevada later this month the democratic party there has already said it won't be using the system they used here in iowa. a draft wording for a u.n. resolution seen by al-jazeera calls the u.s. president's proposal to solve the israeli palestinian conflict a breach of international law the plan which was unveiled by donald trump last week
2:26 pm
allows israel to onyx large parts of palestinian lands or diplomatic editor james based reports. the pushback against the trump plan on the middle east has begun here at the united nations i've seen wording for a draft 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 the 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
2:27 pm
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 person your president mahmoud abbas will be here in new york on tuesday when the resolution is voted on by the security council in one of peru's most ecologically diverse bays fisherman who die from crabs and shellfish say they're now putting their lives at risk to make a living stocks a fish are increasingly scarce which means they have to go further out to find them and there is my honest sanchez reports from south of the capital lima. looking for crabs and scallops is not only 26 year old will dives for nearly
2:28 pm
a minute every time sometimes 5. 6 hours nonstop he says finding shellfish these days is difficult. the water is warmer so the crabs hide underground there's been over fishing in the past 3 years we haven't found any squid around here. the bay of lima is an area protected for its diversity fisherman are assigned a part of the bay where they can hand pick each shellfish especially scallops but now the surface trucked in wheat consuming more time in catching and cleaning before they can be sold after 40 years farming shellfish says the richness of this bay is being lost. over fishing in the change of the water temperature as to form the natural banks the industrial activity around here also increases and is warming up the water it's a series of reasons for this bank to be scarce. it is coast is among the most

productive fishing areas in the world more than $70000.00 families depend on fishing they produce at least 65 percent of the fish consumed in the country large scale industrial fishing is also taking a toll on small fishing communities. out at sea for days. for hours but unlike years before now they don't know if they'll arrive here at the port with enough fish or shellfish to make ends meet that's why fishermen are putting extra pressure on themselves alexandra ramos suffered a decompression accident that left him with permanent muscle damage says they have no option but to dive deeper. we often risk decompression because sometimes we feel we have to run back to the ports or products so we get anxious and come to the surface faster so now we risk more and sell less. fishing ministry says it will implement vigilant committees to supervise the quality and amount of seafood
2:30 pm
harvested in the poor people turn to fishing indiscriminately as a quick solution to providing a lively. good their chance to make money fast impacts on the most superficial starts so that's why more divers are risking no more accidents which are now frequent many academics say the effects of climate change on the fish and shellfish stocks is still under investigation because government is fast tracking regulation of fishing and shellfish gathering but already these small scale fishermen say it is much harder and dangerous to make a living by the n.s.a. than just. hello again the headlines on al-jazeera this hour at least 20 people are still missing after an avalanche in eastern turkey rescue workers were searching for victims of an earlier avalanche when the 2nd one hit at least 8 people have been
