but no one seems to want that ship to dock on the shows that some of the passages have described it may not luxury clues clues but a bluff lunch in prison so clearly a lot of anxiety and unrest on both those 2 ships and we also have another one in hong kong where you had $3600.00 passages own boarding quarantine once again after this ship reported a number of infections on a previous voyage well that particular ship some of the people on board it complaining that they're running out of documents running out of milk for their babies and the one that set up and rejected from japan as not to die there are now reports that it's seeking assistance from a u.s. . navy ship to help them adopt some such a clearly the global concern about the rapid rise of infections is spreading but also these cruise ships are being caught in the middle of all of this ok sara thank you for bringing us that update from hong kong. speaking of hong kong hundreds of medical workers there have now rick nord carry lymes pleased to call off their

strike which is now in its 5th day and they're staging a sit in outside the headquarters of the city's hospital thirty's they want the chief executive to close all borders with mainland china because of the corona virus outbreak from saturday everyone entering hong kong from the mainland faces mandatory quarantine but the protesters say that's not enough. i can see from from people. we have to say today. we don't have enough. equipment but the gist of all the government. and we can have safety. and the safety for the whole. other news and syrian government forces have captured the town of set off during their offensive on the last rebel held areas of the province and the fall. nearby strategic highways could pave the way

for a government offensive on in the provincial capital it's feared an assault on the city will worsen a deepening humanitarian crisis for thousands of civilians are already forced to flee turkey's military has sent reinforcements to its observation posts in the area let's bring in. joining us from inside syria and how that's near the border with turkey sort of clarify the situation on the ground and talk to us about these advancement advancements that are being made by the syrian government towards. well there in for the last couple of days tension who was actually around the town knows that arc of. it is right at the intersection point of the famous and $4.00 and $5.00 highways which is the logistic was for whole syria so as the syrian government was known to be or was expected to be trying to take control of the

highways everybody was ready for that but after taking control of the highways the government started advancing through surat. because of its location and position was actually a psychological barrier for both the syrian government and the syrian opposition and as the syrian government forces have advanced. the tension rose because. because we know that the opposition is actually aware that taking control of surat of means that the opposition might be exposed to direct fire by the syrian government especially inside the so last night we heard that the syrian forces have entered inside iraq about this morning we have learned confirmed from our local sources and security sources that the town has full and maybe a few fighters inside but the town is right now under control of the syrian government and in the near future it is not expected to be again backed by the

syrian opposition of course this is a risk for all syrian opposition as the syrian government forces have also at vence 7 kilometers is south of the center yesterday we were in menu by the turkish border where those huge refugee camps are for the displaced and we were clearly able to hear the russian the russian planes shelling and firing even the drones flying over so currently is the psychological barrier has been crossed the syrian government is expected to edmond's towards no. but for now the turkish military observation for 4 of them in the area are known to be safe except except for some harassment of fires by the syrian government but turkey is expected to enhance its in force in the area all right so a clue thank you. the u.s. says it's killed the leader of al qaeda and their arabian peninsula during

a military operation in yemen last month president donald trump says qassam remey was trying to organize and inspire attacks against americans there's been no confirmation of the killing from al qaeda and the gallagher has the latest from washington where the news is just emerging the confirmation of this al qaeda leader's death is just emerging but the strike itself took place last month at the cia an american intelligence officials have been very carefully after previous strikes proved that their targets actually survived them so they were careful to check whether this is actually happened but all really is a significant target for the u.s. authorities he's one of the few al qaeda leaders that predates the attacks of september the 11th the trained at camps in afghanistan before going back home to yemen where he was in prison for 5 years for plotting to attack the u.s. ambassador there he actually broke out of jail in 2006 is thought to be behind the attack on the u.s. embassy and is a significant target for the u.s.

authorities so we do now have confirmation that the 41 year old was killed in these attacks in this drone strike in fact it was a $10000000.00 reward out for him and the u.s. state department says that al qaeda has now been significantly weakened by this strike meaning that both americans and allies on now say for upon is death. still ahead on al-jazeera coming up in a moment the. war on poverty nearly $200.00 refugees and migrants at the serbian border demand entry into e.u. countries. to shining a light on police violence in france we talk to the makers of an acclaimed film that's up for an oscar award this weekend.
