along the indian border where there's been a significant increase in illegal crossings since india introduced a controversial citizenship. on the south korean film parricide wins an academy award for best original screenplay whether to take the big prize. for the global death toll from the corona virus outbreak has reached $900.00 and only 2 of the deaths are outside mainland china most are into a province where the virus is believed to have originated the world health organization says it's remains gravely concerned more than $40000.00 people are now infected w.h.o. team of experts is heading to china to investigate the government in beijing says it's allocated. $10000000000.00 to fight the outbreak it's facing growing criticism

for its handling of early warnings about the new virus millions of people were expected to go back to work on monday as an extension to the lunar new year holiday . but mainly stayed home normally busy commutes or routes or quiet let's go live now to katrina you in beijing for the latest now katrina the government says it's throwing $10000000000.00 into the fight against coronavirus where is the money going that's right but we know the priority for the money was to getting people diagnosed people who had suspected cases some symptoms making sure that they had access to testing kits and get access to the right treatment we've seen many pictures on social media and on chinese media popping up on these next shift hospital or quarantine centers stadium schools are the government calls and that really goes to show that

resources are really thin on the ground in who they province are and the epicenter of the virus so many people have been affected so many people are still waiting to be tested so that money will go towards much needed medical supplies. not just testing kits we've got masks gloves hazmat suits for medical staff we know that 6000 medical staff were sent from all over china to rouhani just over the weekend to try to help those overworked and understaffed teams so that money will go towards paying them and making sure that those hospitals are running and aside from the direct impact in fighting this illness that money is also being put aside to help with the logic economic impact if you like many businesses have been massively affected by the krona virus people are simply not going out so small and small businesses and medium enterprises waltzer receive some support from the government and indeed they're already receiving some preferential policies so that they can delay paying their rent and insurance so that they can survive as wealth in this really tense period. committed to roots also looking empty we're told the people

simply too afraid to go out to homes and go to work today. it seems like it i mean it spurs to be the 1st day of the official were 1st working day of the new chinese new year but it's a far from normal day here where in the city of beijing this is the capital of china one of the busiest urban centers in the world but it's still relatively quiet i mean technically government offices are supposed to restart their working day today but many companies are encouraging their employees to stay and work from home the government is also telling companies that if possible can you stagger the starting date of the starting times of your staff can get them to work in batches us to minimize the chances of the virus spreading schools have been closed until march as well and we know that from some figures today just in beijing just the amount of people taking public transport has as it has dropped drastically this

should be one of the busiest periods of the year for people using trains and railway systems and we've got for example flights are down 42 percent the amount of people going in and out of the airport has dropped 63 percent the subway is only at 10 percent capacity so definitely this virus even laws away from the epicenter of the outbreak and rouhani is having a massive impact in disrupting everyday life all over china katrina you. doctor is the senior scholar at john hopkins center for health security he says with w.h.o. experts in china the world could gain a better understanding of the virus. that he will be bringing some of the world class epidemiologist from the w.h.o. that will be able to really understand the transmission dynamics going on understand the severity of the illness understand the challenges that china is facing with this outbreak and it will really give the world hopefully

a good glimpse of what's going on in china because there are a lot of unanswered questions in mysteries about how this outbreak is unfolding there the actions of chinese government is taking and i think it will help us to risk stratify this for the rest of the world i do think that there may be some issues with local communist party officials there to not be as forthcoming about what happened we already have heard about how they have silenced doctors how they have silenced journalists and of scrub the internet all of that is something that we already know about so i do think that that will be a challenge for the chinese government to explain and i think the w.h.o. team actually knows this already because the world knows that what happened in china. early results are in for island's general election. to take 24.5 percent of 1st preference votes just ahead of the 2 center right parties seen a foil and in a gale who have dominated mainstream politics for nearly a century paul brennan reports i mean leader mary lou mcdonald was

welcome to the dublin county like a hero the left wing nationalists for 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 phina foyle and fiona gale it's in the 2nd city she says it makes sense this case is now free to ferry system. secrets that's. a different type of coffee that keep every confidence in us and i say that with all humility written off by some as a party just for those with short memories shin fein confounded the conventional wisdom that 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 could be the fall of the 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 council in dublin. but the party has evolved i think one thing to pull the brake lever things one was gerry and charlie when you did mary lou mcdonald is in no way associated with troubles in the war and guts you know the terms of marketing communication cuts work really well it's created an ideological headache for the establishment parties the current irish leader the t. shirt leo veronica of phoenix gail accept that the results mean talks with sinn fein are probably going to be necessary but agreeing a coalition not for us all this machine is not an option. but we are willing to talk to other parties and form a government one that can lead the country forward for the next 5 years fully to me how martin looks most likely to become the country's next leader his local county corkey to describe chin fein as incompatible for a coalition to teach a cliché in spain may prefer to bide their 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 with the ballot boxes being packed away now could be back out again in just a couple of months paul brennan al-jazeera. has about john's ruling parties claiming victory in a parliamentary election but the opposition says the poll is a sham exit poll suggests the new as a beige party of president has won a majority in the national assembly several parties have boycotted the vote there accusing ali of persecuting political opponents and silencing the media in northwest syria government forces of taking control of more villages they're advancing in the southern part of aleppo province towards the rebels last stronghold of i think his say 17 civilians were killed by strikes on sunday
