some of the last poignant images of lee one liang a doctor who was punished for daring to tell the truth now he's died from the virus that he 1st warned colleagues about late last year to many he'll be remembered as a chinese hero. or their shift in the culture i deeply regret his death and feel sincerely saying for him we need to say if the employer once of his death can wake up anything and i hope he did not die in vain. your heart hurt you here he left us when we needed him to fight the virus and he was a victim of the virus too he was unfairly criticized because of his work so we feel very sad and regretful for certain for he said irresponsible attitude toward society and he is honest and faithful so i think the whole society should reflect on this on social media the grief and outrage is more profound is it that hard for the government to admit it's wrong

a doctor had to die twice that's a national humiliation and the eyes of the people are clear his death is the top trending topic on china's micro-blogging site way below one of the most popular hashtags before being deleted was we want freedom of speech lee had been in the front line of this crisis falling sick from the virus while treating patients his death was confirmed on the website of wuhan hospital on friday morning leader after all rescue efforts said the statement we express our deep condolence as did an official from china's national health commission. your national health commission extends our sincere condolences and respect to the family and wife of dr lee one we know that for medical workers on the frontline they sacrifice their own family life to contribute to this battle against a virus the society needs to care more about our medical workers. in december leader had sought to share information about his concerns only to be investigated

by police who accused him of spreading rumors lee's passing highlights the huge risks taken by frontline doctors and nurses to treat patients a situation made worse by overcrowded hospitals and an acute shortage of beds the government appears to be listening it's dispatched a team of anticorruption investigators to to its words listen to the concerns of the public and in china today there's no shortage of people with opinions about the doctor and the way he was treated. the virus is spread across china with cases also emerging in 2 dozen countries 2 cruise ships carrying thousands of holidaymakers have been placed under quarantine in hong kong and japan as doctors test all on board for infection and another ship currently in the south china sea has been refused entry by japan south korea and the philippines. in china the growing public

outrage will worry the leadership as it threatens to create what they fear most social unrest adrian brown al jazeera hong kong. meanwhile health workers in hong kong have voted to end their 5 day strike the union says frontline staff weren't getting enough equipment to protect themselves while treating patients is in the chinese territory and told my colleague martin dennis say weren't enough votes to extend the walkout. basically there were 7000 votes 4000 voted to go back to work on the other 3 wanted to continue the strike so those health workers will return to the hospitals to deal with the growing number of infections as of tomorrow saturday what these health workers wanted what they wanted a full closure of the borders they didn't get that they also wanted greater access to medical and health supplies in these hospitals which have been running short now on saturday we will have a some sort of a quarantine restrictions placed on the mainland troubles arriving in hong kong but certainly the health workers will resume work tomorrow after 5 days and i would

just add also a report from the princess margaret hospital which is one of the larger hospitals here it is now at full capacity with regards to the number of infections who it which are inside that hospital and the overflow of any more infections of the coming days will have to go to other hospitals as a result you mentioned i think tomorrow saturday is when this mandatory quarantine provision comes into force and anybody coming from the mainland will go into 2 weeks of salacious and that's going to be massively destructive business we have had reports of about 8000 people cross over yesterday so the numbers have been dropping but certainly tomorrow saturday we'll see whether or not the number of travelers does decrease even further this is a particular it's a it's a mandatory quarantine scenario where any travelers from the mainland to hong kong will have to go into isolation at the home or hotel isolation for 14 days but the critics do argue it's going to be very difficult to monitor the hong kong

government has to go if they don't abide people don't abide by this particular law they will face heavy fines and could face up to 6 months in prison and the world health organization says is a global shortage of medical equipment to deal with corona virus even though the number of new infected cases has decreased the chief has warned it was too soon to assume that was a sign the worst is over. for the last 2 days there have been fewer reported new infection infections in china which is good news but we caution against reading too much into that the numbers could go up again and as you know the a.p. curves go in a zigzag but the last 2 days was showing a declining trend. and despite concerns about the spread of the virus a mass unity cation church wedding has gone ahead in south korea many of the 6000

couples wore face masks festivals concerts and graduation ceremonies of them cancelled because of the risk but the church says it went ahead with the weddings as it's the 100th anniversary of its need as breath follow as 7 chinle were asked not to attend. a so far they have been no confirmed cases of corona virus in africa but it's been high on the agenda of an african union foreign ministers meeting in ethiopia. is in the capital addis ababa. as african leaders prepare to meet here in the european cups look at this about for a normal summit there gates are telling us that the continent is making itself ready to combat any possible outbreak of the coroner a virus coming from china the african center for disease control and prevention is coordinating efforts across the continent and in the senegalese copies of the car a training is going on to make more countries ready now as we speak only south africa and ghana have a laboratory it's not contest specimens for the virus but in

a matter of 2 weeks they tell us that 15 more countries will be ready for that testing so far all of the cases suspect what's happening suspected in some countries have been proved negative and african countries are responding differently to what's going on in ethiopia foursomes the best african airlines have not stopped flights to china and that is being received in the wider public here in the g.o.p. with some negative feelings they are putting pressure on the government to follow suit because other countries in africa have stopped flights at least 5 other airlines including morricone madagascar and others we know also that china and africa have huge investments and some african countries are afraid to cut any ties or to current in china because they think that is going to hurt their economies but as this situation develops probably their response in africa will be different. depending on how many cases will be coming from china with regards to

corner virus. in other world news syrian government forces have captured the town been province as says strategically important part of the campaign to retake the whole province which includes the last rebel held areas of the country the follow saraki been hit by highways creates a wave to the prevention of capital which is just 7 kilometers away is also an increased rates of syrian troops clashing with take his forces were about a whole sea in the area seen in kosovo is inside syria had by about how a not far from the take a shorter she describes a tension between turkey and syrian government forces. right now turkey and syria now a turkish and syrian army's risk confronting each other and turkey's president added on sat and he's giving he gave an ultimatum and said that the russia the the syrian army should withdraw from the areas where the turkish military posts are

until the end of february of course this is a very huge risk and they risk we're fighting each other but how turkey is going to come from syria while the syrian army is supported by the russian air forces is a question and this this tension between turkey and the syrian military is also increasing the tension on the civilians inside who already are depressed and suppressed because of the internal displacement the russians and turks also have had some serious discussions within the last couple of days as turkey pushed for a more observation post after the syrian government's advance from south to north and advance through said argument at the city center the russians claim that it's a turkish reinforcements and a military post were not coordinated with that while the turks claim just the opposite so it was difficult for both sides who's who have always said that they

are committed to pursue the astana and sochi peace agreements. a woman who ran away from home as a teenager to join eyesore has lost the 1st stage of her appeal against the british government's decision to strip her citizenship i mean a big gun was found any syrian refugee camp last year she was 15 when she left the u.k. 5 years ago let's bring in emma haywood in london for us emma this is a case as grapes the u.k. tell us 1st about what happened in court today where this tribe you know that's not to look at cases like this the tribunals found that the core the government last year acted lawfully when the home secretary sajid javid stripped. of her citizenship now the lawyers for her had challenge that but the court said that because she has a bangladeshi mother she is a bangladeshi descent so she is not stateless in their eyes and they also interestingly said that her actions her position now has not been brought about by

what the home secretary did last year but by shimmy her bacon's actions herself so this was a 1st stage of the process what happens next. well her lawyers have said they will initiate an appeal immediately and that is of great urgency now we understand that this could now be looked at as a judicial review and that it could even go as far as a supreme court which is the highest court in the u.k. and this is likely to run and run them course the bacon has been moved from the county where she was discovered last year by a news reporter when she was 9 months pregnant that baby died within days of her giving birth she is now in another county in northern syria it would seem that she is no closer to getting back to the u.k. which she wants now i spoke to her family sister a short while ago he said her family are very disappointed by this news that this case has really shone a light on the cases of the hundreds of people who left the u.k.

to fight with i saw 5 or 6 years ago and what happens to what happens to them now and many people believe that she begun the has no right to return to britain because she turned her back on britain 5 years ago i met thank you for that emma harris live for us in london. plenty more ahead on this al-jazeera news hour including the u.s. says it's killed the leader of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula in a drone attack in yemen plus we'll tell you about the biggest issue for irish voters in saturday's election and the man known as the greek freak is unstoppable again in the n.b.a. peta has the action coming up meet. the u.s. president has attacked his political rivals during

a speech celebrating his acquittal on impeachment charges an unrepentant donald trump described the proceedings corrupt and run by dirty cops white house correspondent kimberly halkett reports the address could set the tone for his 2020 election campaign. one day after the u.s. senate voted not to remove the u.s. president from office donald trump was in the mood to celebrate i've done things wrong in my life i will admit not purposely but i've done things wrong but this is what the end result is. troubled railed against opposition democrats who watched the impeachment effort against him at times using language that was derogatory and profane. it was all but. he tried to coerce a now into helping him cheat the truck took a bit congressman adam schiff who led the inquiry into whether trump abused his

presidential powers by withholding military aid to ukraine in an attempt to get them to investigate his political rival former vice president joe biden a corrupt politician named adam schiff made up my statement to the ukrainian president he brought it out of thin air just made it up they say he's a screenwriter a failed screenwriter donald trump earlier that day at a national prayer breakfast trump also went after mitt romney who was the only republican senator who voted to removed from office he also lashed out at house speaker nancy pelosi i don't like people who use their faith as justification. for doing what they know is wrong. pelosi blasted the president in response a pretty hard for him because he's so off the track of our constitution but throughout trumps more than an hour long remarks he repeatedly maintained he

committed no wrongdoing it was a sharp contrast to president bill clinton's more than a minute long statement in 1999 following his own impeachment acquittal i want to say again to the american people. how profoundly sorry i am. for what i said and did. to trigger these events thank you. troubles only apology came not to americans but to his family who he says has been caught up in allegations and investigations since the start of his presidency i want to apologize to my family for having them have to go through a phony rotten deal well the impeachment trial may be over the allegations are not both democrats and republicans are vowing to take this case to american voters in november who will ultimately decide if donald trump is a one or 2 term president can really help get al jazeera the white house. and

saying in the us the chair of the democratic national committee has called for a review of the results of the iowa caucuses after days of technical today's with all the votes finally counted pete who has now really defeated bernie sanders in the 1st contest between the democratic contenders vying to take on president trump in november the committee says a review is needed to assure public confidence after technical glitches in its small bought up slowed down reporting of the results robert gucci is the author of the presidency journalism and democracy and he's also an associate professor at lancaster university he says to move forward the democrats almost need to forget iowa happened at all. so there are some on the far left thinking that bernie sanders really won the day as the democratic socialist but that doesn't go too well for the for the hardcore democrats who want there to be more of

a central figure somebody who's a little more centrist who can bring in some people from the republican side but with donald trump winning at almost every single downfall he's had that's going to be really hard to pull people over no matter how central a democratic candidate is iowa does seem to be historically the place that does push and launch people ahead but that would be in a traditional election year this one is not a traditional alexion year you're seeing the infighting within the democrats become even stronger than than before because they really want to get somebody out there who can take down donald trump certainly people like biden who have decided he hasn't really but his his numbers are showing him sliding aside and you still have people questioning the validity of the democratic party if they can even. figure out their 1st caucus of the year so going into new hampshire it's a repositioning for democrats to say remember this is who we are this is who i am

individually and i'm the person who's going to win forget about what happened in iowa we're going forward the u.s. says it's canned their leader of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula joining a military operation in yemen last month present donald trump says cassim out of remey was trying to organize and inspire attacks against americans has been no confirmation of the killing from. and to gallagher has a detail some washington. the confirmation of this al qaeda leader's death is just emerging but the strike itself took place last month at the cia and 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 al really is a significant target for the u.s. authorities he's one of the few al qaeda leaders predates the attacks of september the 11th he 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 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 safe upon is death. my job is way is director of the gulf studies center at qatar university he says the al qaeda leader had been active in yemen for many years it's the same group basically announced its responsibility for more than one operation or want to touch one of the you mentioned in florida but they're also responsibility of other attacks on foreigners inside yemen as well on spanish a group. i think 6 of them were killed in yemen as well so basically this is an

activity started since 2006 but he was active even before that in yemen i think the context of. targeting this leader is not the 1st time we witnessed another operation in spring 2017 words from. that attack on. a village south of yemen and assuming that there would be. a need that there that time has been reported that actually 6 people were killed from. yemenis but so it is a trend. you know how the american the station with the war on terror this yemen now is needed to divide that there is no central government and all of those so-called and non-state actors like that that is an amazing opportunity for them to be more active so that is the reason why the american security departments believe that you know this is the strongest the group in yemen because they are benefiting

from the political sphere which is basically very weak. refugees from the war in syria are among protesters in serbia demanding hungary open the border to allow them into the european union that's unlikely to happen and it means that thousands fleeing war and poverty are stuck in the balkans and garion troops on the heavily fortified border recently fired warning shots at refugees or abroad money has a story. coaching what little possessions they have left and wrapped up against the biting cold. these people are demanding serbian authorities that some pass into hungry. at a sit in protest in the border village television they hold signs demanding they be allowed into hungry a member of the european union i didn't go there to get money from their opinion is i'm only look for a better life you know my country have a lot i going to go back to syria it's not just syrians trying to cross refugees

better protection slashing of the national budgets of many health research and monitoring facilities and services actually is worsening the situation they hope they see that the government will react fast because time is of the essence they also remain committed to their cause and they will continue there were a call on the government for more support for better protection compensation and better equipment in many government facilities across the country. the island's general election is on saturday the governing finagle hoping to defy the opinion polls and retain power but the opposition party cian fein is enjoying a surge in some force the government call this not be election because of the crisis in the public health care system and the long wait to see a doctor paul brennan reports. around cool city political posters gazed down from the lampposts but it's island's health care crisis which the voters want the

politicians to look out for you know when the need of a woman to bring in pillows but. if you have probably this insurance it's it's it's appalling it's no problem for the ordinary man industries it's not good to see people waiting on trolleys proracing hours doctor said if it's given has worked in a deprived area of north cool for the past 15 years her dedication is self-evident and so are her frustrations so a child presenting today with mental health issues that i feel requires specialist intervention if i put them on a waiting list. they might be seen in 4 years time which is just that's not a service in 2014 nearly 359000 outpatients were on the public waiting list to see a consultant by 2017 the number had risen above half a 1000000 for the 1st time and in 2019 it had grown to more than 553000

trying to tackle those relentless increases in the waiting lists the irish government is throwing millions every year of public money into buying private health care in 2019 it was the equivalent of 82000000 dollars and this year it's going to be closer to $110000000.00 and still the waiting lists go up having private health insurance meant that when john wall was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer in 2017 prompt treatment helped extend his life in the time he has left he's advocating urgent reform frontline staff to their absolute to do whatever they can given the resources that they have but that's the problem they don't have enough resources they don't have enough beds they don't have enough staff and the resources that are being allocated is basically telling good money after bad a universal health proposal called sloan has been suggested but the different
