biggest night of the year joker the irishman and 1917 or lead the way in the nominations for the oscars. and far as small have all the sports news including roxanne's teenage cricket sensation becomes the youngest bowler to take a test trip. welcome to the program our top story is the death toll from the coronavirus hits a new milestone chinese government has announced it will allocate $10000000000.00 to help fight the spread of the disease $814.00 people have now been killed by the corona virus more than the 774 killed by the sars epidemic in 2003 in both cases the majority of deaths were in china both strains of the same type of virus but the new outbreak has infected far more people more than 37000 saw only had around 8000

confirmed cases but it's also considerably more deadly killing one in 10 people and then in all the developments 300000 passengers and crew stuck on a cruise ship have been allowed to disembark the world dream was quarantined in hong kong when a chinese passengers on early a voyage were diagnosed with a virus katrina you reports to us from beijing. more than 6000 medical workers are being sent 100 from all over china they'll help overworked and understaffed teams struggling to cope with a coronavirus crisis the number of deaths from the outbreak has now surpassed those killed by saws in 2003 a lack of resources has forced some doctors to turn patients away as a hobby or as a senior doctor i felt terrible when i look into their eyes but i have to control myself to continue this fight against the epidemic chinese factories have in order to boost production of desperately needed medical supplies the government says it's

allocating $10000000000.00 to fight be honest but criticism over its handling of the crisis is growing for a group of academics has signed a letter demanding more freedom of speech and condemning the treatment of whistleblower dr li when leon who died from the virus this week jean is a citizen journalist who was forced into quarantine after posting videos of overcrowded hospitals and behind the world health organization says the number of people with the virus appears to be stabilizing but it's still too early to know whether the outbreak has reached its peak the un agency is sending a team to china to observe its response to the virus as a winded global health authorities to ring the door and experts in hong kong say existing measures aren't enough to prevent the outbreak spreading in the territory dozens of people there have been infected i think for hong kong definitely it will be the beginning same as other part of the well maybe 4 main a is in the middle of the crisis one of the epidemiologist contacted by professor

gable and of hong kong university medical school he predicted that the disease may go on and the peak may or a pro some time in that before the summer so we hope we think that the disease may still lingering on for this but while millions in china remain under lockdown there was good news at least for the passengers of this cruise ship docked in hong kong faves. to leave office 57 days he pointed. out is irritating. so we can now speak to anthony rancho he's a medical director at wynn international s.o.s. so you saying the corona virus has now killed more people than the sars epidemic dead how important a milestone is that. well clearly there are some similarities between corona virus and sars and it's the same type of virus it has very similar symptoms it's a response virus and it has a very similar transmissibility but there i think the similarities should

be looked at with a little bit of caution this is a very different scenario sars does not kill the same rate of people as as as the novel coronavirus does 5 times more people were killed during that and also the story of sars is very important to understand the response to sars was a lot more delayed than this response and we know that the chinese government both identified and responded to it in an extraordinary amount of time and so i think we need to just look at that with a little bit of. but i suppose there are concerns that they were very slow at least the local authorities in one itself because of the layers of bureaucracy and were very slow to report initial cases and then they were behind the curve in how they reacted obviously since then the government has taken very stringent measures in

prevention and control but are you confident that we know the full extent of the epidemic but i think the authorities were very open and transparent actually in terms of the speed at which they notified people and the speed at which they notified the international community in particular the central chinese government. yes and the the speed at which their colleagues overseas were notified was incredible really going to compare it to the sars epidemic and actually any other similar outbreak in the past is a very different world we're living in and i think we also saw them and criticize and pressure dr lee who is one of the 1st people the doctor who tragically died from the virus or at least treating patients but he tried to sound the alarm over it and he was silenced. i think what we what we

know is that the measures that they've put in place are according to public health best practice in terms of isolating those people that might be affected and limiting movement of people. that's what that's what we know yet but also have been new cases reported outside of china in britain and in spain also in the u.s. and in parts of southeast asia and in many of these countries are not going to take the same measures they're not going to put millions of people under quarantine or under effective house arrest so could we actually see it suddenly spread very quickly is that possibility i think that a lot of. what we know about corona virus we can we can we can mirror that in our response and so that the public health authorities are using their best practice in terms of what they're doing so they they are you know limiting

transportation to and from the affected areas in china and they are using best practice to try and limit the spread at the moment the rate of spread of cases outside of china is still very low and we're seeing very small pockets of cases cropping up which is actually a positive thing thank you very much appreciate it dr anthony rancher. now to island the left wing the party shin fein is expected to make a historic breakthrough in the general election counting is underway with polls predicting a 3 way split between shin fein and phina galen phina for oil who were previously considered the 2 main parties so let's cross to paul brennan who is live for us in dublin and where are we on the counting now. well counting is well on the way merriam what 12 hours in now 9 am this morning the counting started out say progress has been a little slow to be honest with you there are only $34.00 of the $39.00

constituencies of so far declared their 1st choice candidates as having been elected to the irish parliament doyle what's interesting though is those 1st choice candidates have come from which parties they've come from and of the 34 that have so far been elected 24 of them are chin fein candidates so we've got 24 m.p.'s 24 t.d.'s as they call them here in ireland elected to the doorbell and the other parties the biggest opposition parties female galen finn a foil how many have they had elected so far one each it's massive it's absolutely massive and the what we are essentially witnessing here is an extraordinary weekend in irish politics as have a look at the report. by action fein leader mary lou mcdonald was broken into the dublin county like a hero the left wing nationalists force a campaign of eye catching pledges on housing and pensions which caught the imagination of an electorate crying out for an alternative to the 2 biggest

opposition parties fiona foyle and fiona gayle thinks things change she says it makes statements this is now 102 ferry system it's statements that people use a different type of office and they keep every confidence in us and i think that with all humility written off by some as a party just for those with short memories shin fein confound the conventional wisdom it was in the build up to the election people saying oh this is young people who don't remember the troubles in northern ireland and i think that we see that's not the case it's only the much older voters who still feel for them to get past links to the republican paramilitary group the ira linger as evidenced by a group of jubilant shin fein supporters singing a rebel song at the count center in dublin. right. but the party has evolved i think painted a couple of great clever things one was gerry adams tarring pretty good on mary lou not donald is in no way associated with troubles in the north and dots you know

$33.00 terms of marketing communication cuts were pretty well it's created an ideological headache for the establishment parties the current irish leader the t. shirt leo veronica of phoenix gail except that the results mean talks with sinn fein are probably going to be necessary but agreeing a coalition not for us this machine is not an option but we are willing to talk to other parties but still you form your government one that can lead the country forward for the next 5 years for fully to me how martin looks most likely to become the country's next leader his local counting corkey to describe chin fein as incompatible for a coalition to teach a cliché in spain may prefer to buy that time rather than be a minority partner in a coalition government but with the outcome as close as it seems now the wrangling could last for weeks and such is the nature of irish politics that the ballot boxes being packed away now could be back out again in just a couple of months. now what's happened in irish politics recently

particular with the labor party last time around is that they went into a coalition as a minority party under the how much of the following election because the their own core support felt that they hadn't done enough that they kind of been betrayed to shin fein we think is very cautious about going into a coalition despite the fact that the 2 big parties philadelphian aforesaid last and don't want to go into a coalition loss to talk about joining me to talk about some of these issues is down pichai he's a man based journalist who's been following these elections very closely down. shin fein has been 1st choice in 34 of the 39 constituencies now in one of those constituencies that's because own constituency the shin fake candidate sailed through the of reich i think the last time we looked was on the 4th count of 4th preferences and he still hadn't got enough votes to get support that's extraordinary it is really extraordinary i mean i think just before we came to

where i think that 40 that 4 count just happened and he was only 20 votes shy of making the quota there and he'll still get in it's his constituency is a foresees or his his seat is pretty much safe it's not going to lose that seat but it will be extremely embarrassing for him the 1st choice east has gone to a shin fein candidate a candidate in paul donnelly for the 1st time in the history of that constituency that is going to faint candidate that and the other thing for those people looking in about the single transferable vote system the proportional representation we have here is that although female and female for all of them just have one seat each they should pick up some more as they get as the 2nd and 3rd preferences come through so it's not a disaster for them just yet yeah 100 percent i mean you know finish fit again and finish all of traditionally in in an awful lot of constituencies around the country and including the t. shirts what would always run a running mate and that's maybe where shin fein reviewed this at the end of the weekend and think well we really should have run more maybe you know. one or 2 in

an awful lot of constituencies are said as at around the country they might feel that maybe they would have been in a stronger position given how many seats they've managed to take so far so it's important to say for the outsiders that you finally feel that 42 candidates now they need 8 they would need 80 for a majority so they could know when they're going to get a majority it but it's the impact of those $42.00 or however let's say 30 that they might get it just to finish there and that is what happens next because of free to go for for both say it's incompatible that they would even consider a coalition with sinn fein but is that a position that they can hold while i was listening to the party president mary lynn mcdonnell just as she was elected here as i write to the council enter here and she said that she's willing to sit down with all parties she said is willing to sit down and have a discussion with all of them what she would like to see is a government that isn't funny galen that isn't finished but that she'd sit down with them anyway both of the finny gayle and fin of fall party leaders have said absolutely no but i think what what happened then especially with the poll last

night the exit poll that had them all level pegging going into today it shows that they're probably going to have to have a conversation whether or not they can come to some sort of agreement a different issue thank you thank you very much to another issue the wrangling is going to take some time but we're not going to have a resolution anytime soon all right thanks very much for the latest from dublin paul brennan. and at the news hour live from london we'll still had. told you. a vigil in thailand for the victims of a soldier's shooting spree he was apparently most abated by a prophecy just. the u.s. wants israel against any immediately of statics land in the occupied west bank. and a special go piles on even more misery and now i mean i'm actually from the city's top division coming up and.

now at least 11 people have been killed by syrian government attacks on towns in aleppo's countryside they've taken control of dozens of villages in the northwest of the country's a campaign continues to seize the last rebel stronghold but turkey has sent major reinforcements to the region now and says all options are on the table to stop the government's advance. the moment the syrian army seize control of the hilltop village on the southern outskirts of aleppo will give the army the height advantage to monitor and shelled rebel positions the army has also recaptured other rebel held territory in northwestern aleppo that's seen as another major setback days after the rebels lost control of the city of. the government insists it's fine it will continue to defeat what he describes as terrorist organizations syria's leaders in damascus also brushed aside warnings

from turkey to halt its offensive or face bitter repercussions. going to. back over the past few days are barely an armed forces have managed to make significant achievements its troops that were coming from eastern little met with the advance forces from southern aleppo and managed to regain control of the geographical area more than 600 square kilometers. as fighting shows no signs of abating civilians in rebel held territory fleeing their villages following the large numbers have already skate most of the has is among thousands. they have nowhere to go. where 3 families i mean my brother both have 7 children we're looking for a house or a camp or something i really don't know what we're going to do. turkish soldiers

recently deployed in province have been asked to set up new outposts near we have and must allow turkey's minister of defense hosea has warned of possible military intervention in the last remaining rebel held province turkey is giving syria's leaders until the end of this month to withdraw its military units from positions near turkey's observation post. it. 2 years since turkey russia and iran agreed to establish a d.v.d. to rise. but tension between russia and turkey has increased following the deaths. of 8 turkish soldiers in a recent syrian army attack by deploying more troops into syria turkey is sending a clear message that it stands ready to retire if syrian government forces continue their offensive turkish leaders are determined to prevent the worst scenario which

to them is president bashar al assad's troops defeating the rebels and the millions of refugees trying to cross into turkey and join the many already here past about al-jazeera islam board. a vigil has been held in thailand after a mass shooting a soldier went on a gun rampage at a military base before seizing hostages in a shopping mall the army trained marksman killed 29 people and injured dozens of others in the city of car at the thai prime minister says the soldiers motive was a dispute over a prophecy deal when hay has more now from the capital bangkok. in the final dramatic moments of this 18 hour siege the last remaining people inside the mall were brought to safety they had spent a terrifying night hiding or trapped inside the building where a gunman roamed shooting at people as he went at that stage early sunday morning the shooter was still inside the building evading capture by security forces but that around 9 o'clock they killed him in the last post of gunfire captured in this

video say that. we have ended the perpetrators criminal acts at the moment we are gathering evidence and witness material to start an investigation to give justice to all sides this was the gunman 32 year old soldier . a trained sharpshooter with years of experience and he went on his killing spree he posted updates on facebook before entering the mall date on saturday afternoon he could be seen spraying bullets towards people and passing cars as the siege dragged on into the night bursts of gunfire could be heard coming from inside the building hour after hour the situation became more tense and more desperate as the wounded were brought out under heavy protection. god is the one. i was scared i'd hear gunfire and i was wondering if he was going to come near me because it felt like it was so close to where we were hiding with confirmation that the ordeal

was over thailand's prime minister visited some of the injured in hospital and he sought to shed some light on what may have motivated the killer. it was a personal conflict over a house still he had an issue with money and fought for 3 days nobody expected to turn violent. that dispute may have been the reason for the initial murders of a commanding army officer and another person but it doesn't explain why he then traveled more than 20 kilometers to the center of town entered a packed shopping mall and elevated his killing to another level when hey al jazeera bangkok. iran's defense ministry says it's a domestically made satellite but it's failed to reach orbit the move could lead to more tensions with the u.s. after washington previously raised concerns about the iran satellite program calling it a cover for ballistic missiles but iran denies this charge saying that it's for peaceful purposes also big has more now from the capital tehran from what we know

the satellite was launched on this rocket it went out for about 9 minutes but the spokesman for the defense ministry aerospace division has said that at the last stage the rocket didn't reach to quite speed and wasn't able to north a satellite into orbit but iran says that it was successful they would keep most of the gold in fact 90 percent of the gold so they're very much spinning this as a success even though they didn't achieve getting that satellite into orbit now this had been delayed we were expecting it was the end of last week but it was delayed until today we are expecting it this morning we've been watching you all day but the news finally came that they had launched but were unsuccessful now this was a domestic satellite made inside iran and it is an imagery satellite so it was supposed to go up orbit the earth and take pictures of iran specifically concentrating on agriculture mines possible oil fields but also also earthquakes to help iran deal

with natural disasters but again it has not been successful. pakistan's prime minister has to create a national emergency is billions of locusts devastate farming communities in the eastern part of the country the crop eating insects have ravaged costs and wheat and maize fields raising fears of food shortages pakistan's government says this is the worst locust infestation in more than 2 decades swarms of the insects rules are destroying crops in east africa. on and spoke to local farmers there about how they are coping. very large warm of low good drivers are from out for a god saudi arabia iran and has also moved through some of the. right now the government in a war against the. border for day

tripper entire crop leaving them bad. the locust attacks have damaged the cause huge losses we're trying our best to protect against it but we're unable to get rid of them the government must do something to help us if these crops are only means for survival the bugs not the prime minister had already declared a state of emergency it had already on the agriculture department. grow die on the movement of locos which are traveling through much of agricultural breadbox gave it to. the. crop and not only the standing problem if it succeeds in getting i mean it's a breed right here coming crop season it damages it but the locust slams their presence up to prove to be a real threat if we fail to protect these crops and then ultimately it affects the

overall production the produce michel can lead us into the article situation the government had indeed come up with steps and solutions to solve this problem the floor and protection games are all all word d.-i current district where we are trying to control the spares from moving further into other carriers. they sell that practice nations against attack will limit the damage if it weren't for that some could wipe out the whole standing cops. and even white flags in a single. day every easter hyperfocal far from it and then our question as to whether more should have been done at the early stage where the government in the province days decided to sleep over it and not do anything now it's an emergency situation 7 point. 8 that is almost $50000000.00 to try and control

are preparing once more to bury loved ones villages here say armed men abolition them with machetes and guns security forces blame the democratic forces or a.d.f. a rebel group in the area with roots in uganda its fighters are accused of killing at least 5000 congolese in the last few years and more than 100 in the past week. they were dressed in the same uniform as they killed my husband in our kitchen when i 1st heard gunshots. but i met them and they told me to get back inside. many homes have been deserted people are too afraid to go back. there talks are frequent and happening as a congo one of the largest when peacekeeping missions in the walled. are carrying out an offensive against the rebel group those forces are now working with a local militia called my my to help defeat the a.t.f. the other group shows us the comp and equipment they say they've captured from an

a cycle of violence across the continent in ethiopia many kilometers away from benny the heads of state are gathered for a conference labeled silencing the guns in 2020 and beyond it's an ambitious lochan many believe. and want to be anything it can achieve but like millions of others living in conflict areas across the continent they say they just wanted to be in safety catherine al-jazeera. well now the cameroon polls have closed their elections have been held for the 1st time in 7 years but it comes at a time of political division and concerns over security votes reportedly been disrupted by separatists and english speaking regions people in those parts say they are discriminated against by the french speaking majority and they want more independence has been following the election from douala an opposition stronghold. we've been observing these elections not just in this polling station here but across the economic hub and really it's been an underwhelming experience because

there's been really a slow trickle of people coming out to vote bear in mind this is a stronghold of maurice morris come to he's the opposition leader and he had called for a boycott of this election saying that given the situation in the northwest and southwest southwest region the english speaking region that an election like this cannot take place at the moment we're hearing in those regions and mend that earlier during the day there was heavy gunfire that could be heard people are in lockdown staying indoors a city of 2000000 people most people were too afraid to go out to vote or they're boycotting the election because separatists have direct and those that come out to vote even election campaigners or election commissioners that have been abducted by the separatist group social media has played a critical role in promoting the boy cost of the elections in southern cameroon

hashtags like and the exit and manic sation trending in the country they are doing has more on that. the conversation online in the english speaking region conflicts with what the government is saying that angle phone say there is no election and what they call amazonia describing themselves as amazonian they say the french speaking government does not represent them this user asking his followers to disregard any result the leader of the cameron renaissance movement was the 1st to announce a boycott of the elections but he has come to said supporters should avoid giving credibility to elections which will not restore peace and peace has been hard to come by in 2018 the cameroonian government shut down the internet in the english speaking region to prevent more protests this created so-called internet refugees people who travel to find a signal to keep their conversations going online hashtags like bring back our internet started trending while the internet is up and running for election day

there are reports that it is slower than usual we've been asking many online about what they think of these elections. come over to the. creator of democracy i don't need the finger to the international community organizing elations of genocide we the people of. j. . young given to. us yes 2 key. pieces there is no. such an os recently. we see. people. well a boycott of schools courts and other government institutions was started by people in the english speaking region and 26 team they wanted greater representation in

government many schools have been shut ever since and the message this time is to stay away again from vote. and polls their leaders say offer them no representation . the u.s. ambassador to israel has warned against unilaterally onyx in parts of the occupied west bank before the trump of ministration completes the middle east proposal they would friedman says if israel does it could put the whole plan in jeopardy is ready settlements are illegal under international law between 900 672017 israel has built more than 200 illegal settlements in the occupied west bank an estimated 6 120000 israelis live there and about 215000 israelis live in and claves built in palestinian neighborhoods in occupied east jerusalem and the trump was unveiled last month was ready prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he'd push ahead with an expansion plans within days but he's now move a good about the timetable well there have been protests in various places against

that proposal in turkey demonstrators are holding a rally in istanbul demanding the decision that be revoked and they're calling on people to stand up for jerusalem which the plan hands entirely to israel now the 92nd annual academy awards ceremony kicks off in less than 4 hours' time this is the scene from the red carpet at the dolby theater and assigned duties where preparations are underway for hollywood's biggest night in cinema among the films up for the most number of awards on the cut the irishman in 1917. well film critic rebecca perfect joins me in the studio now those are a couple of the films leading the way but tell us more about the other films that you're watching oh well there's such a great selection that we've got there tonight so you mentioned joker is leading the nominations with 11 nominations happening tonight the irishman 917 and once upon a time in hollywood following close behind with 10 nominations across the board we've

got a fantastic array of different nominees from actors through to. directors as well we're hoping for some mendez maybe pick up the best director award for 917 that would be a great win for us brits a best picture category is between 917 and parasite is. a sight might be the big surprise here i think it's almost a shoo in to win the best international film award but whether or not it does make that jump and move up to picking the biggest prize of the night will have to wait and see but $917.00 is probably the front one run of for that why is that well it's such a feat to cinematography and itself it's just an amazing film which a lot of people of obviously lauded semenza picked up the bafta is you know it's one of those films which i think in terms of appreciation of what it actually does films if it's in one long cut it's brilliant however parricide on its own it won the palme d'or at cannes so that's what could be the big surprise as well and it's also great if it does win that as a foreign film to be picking up a large prize as well what about the acting races you. walk in phoenix

and yes i mean again they're all in great company here if we look at the actor in supporting role brad pitt is the front runner for that as well and he's up against people like tom hanks and hopkins and that is an amazing cats a great to be in but yet i think the real winners who won across the whole of award season have has been joaquin phoenix and also run a zellweger her portrayal as judy judy garland in the film judy has been phenomenal as has working phoenix as the joker as well and that's why they've been winning all throughout the season what a. possible surprises you saying that you are expecting it to be a predictable evening but could it still come up with a few surprises why do you think the power site could be that big surprise that we could expect i think across the board if we have to look back at what's been happening over the last couple of months we have to see what's been predicted what's been winning and those are your main catches i i couldn't see anywhere else

particularly acting categories that being any major surprises there if there is anything it's going to be parasites we always hear about netflix in recent years as a lot of buzz around nominations for netflix pieces and whether this is going to be the next netflix moment and ixia well they haven't done too badly they've got 20 nominations across the board 3 major films that come through which are the irishman obviously the scorsese film we've also got marriage story as well and the 2 popes fantastic films all doing very well and all showing that change in the way that we're watching content is really reflected all starting to be reflected more within the academy awards as well sort with the bafta didn't we but how disappointing is the lack of diversity yes i mean it is very disappointing i mean the thing is that we're expecting things to progress and get better and unfortunately and everything from for instance the directing category there is a lack of female directors there which is a shame we've got some may just snobs as well who was in the fair well she picked up a golden globe she didn't get nominated to talk were anybody seeing cynthia revoke

being nominated for the best in the best actress category we're also missing a big snub for jennifer lopez you know a lot of people were expecting her career best performance and hustlers to really pick up a good nomination for her and it's massively disappointing not see that across the board oh well thank you very much you know you have a long evening but a good strong cup of coffee a perfect. and also al-jazeera is up for an oscar with a nomination in the best documentary short subject for st louis superman you can watch it at $2230.00 g.m.t. that's just say. you know if you're in 5 go you drive toward the. it's night you were about. something else happened on august 9th you're. supposed to be 41 really 6 or 8 years ago it's really we saw my son in 50 you
