are working on a possible vaccine testing on animals is set to begin on monday and it could be ready to test on humans in a few months and cases are continuing to rise to more than 40000 globally in japan dozens more people are confirmed to have the virus on a quarantined cruise ship has now at least 130 cases on board back in china millions of people were expected to go back to work on monday as an extension to the new new year holiday and it is katrina new reports from beijing many people stayed home. street is usually bustling with crowds but this week it's living up to its name. holiday has ended but fears of the coronavirus are keeping many businesses closed. his store is one of the few that are open that customers are scarce but he's still careful about who he allows inside delivery men are kept at a distance. how you would hire should come to you and that deliver driver has been

to too many places and has had contact with too many people so i need to be walk around workers like you. those staying indoors rely on these drivers for food and he says but the threat of the virus is taking its toll you know you through italy and of course i am scared virus is very serious but what can i do i have to keep this all i can do now is wearing the mask and gloves. millions of workers have yet to return to the city those who have missed telephone or cheese which provinces they have traveled from. beijing's usually crowded subway is operating at how capacity those not wearing masks are being turned away before entering residential compounds or office buildings people must 1st have their temperature checked you know. those fun the temperature is higher than 37.5 degrees celsius let's go directly to a hospital to be test. in hyde the epicenter of the outbreak streets remain

deserted residents are allowed to leave home only to collect food and supplies but elsewhere scenes so quiet. unverified videos of people being forced from their homes into quarantine vans a circulating on chinese social media the world health organization has called for calm it sent a team to china to observe the government's response team will be greeting some of the world class epidemiologists from the w.h.o. that will be able to really understand the transmission dynamics going on understand the severity of 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 medical experts say the majority of coronavirus cases are mild but many in china are not taking any chances to train e.u. al-jazeera beijing i join brown joins us now live from hong kong adrian as have been

saying the world health organization team is due to arrive in beijing what's there i. well i think what we're going to get from this group of experts who now arrived in china is basically on the ground independent analysis up until now of course we've been relying on what the chinese authorities have been telling the world it's worth remembering of course that it was the w.h.o. not the tell not so long ago was praising china for its efforts in containing this virus and of course china has been very resistant to the idea of a global public health emergency being declared and questions i think continue to be asked about why the w.h.o. actually didn't do that sooner but certainly now that they're on the ground we should get a better idea of you know whether china's containment efforts are proving successful now the concern that the. show has right now is the fact not just that it's

spreading in china but we're getting you know people being infected outside of china people are being affected by people who haven't been to china and the head of the w.h.o. says what we're seeing at the moment with more than 360 affections globally may just well be you know the tip of the iceberg and i joined we've had a pretty disturbing really economic figures released today what are you hearing. that's right china has released figures that show that the consumer price index rose by more than 5 percent in january the sharpest increase was in food now this was before the outbreak of the virus was really confirmed and started to take hold but i think it's fair to assume that if prices were rising already in january they are going to continue to rise now and that's why the government is so anxious to

ensure that it can get the food supplies that towns and cities need in china right now wants to avoid some of the panic that we've seen especially here in hong kong actually as well so you know i think as this virus continues we're going to see the economy continuing to take a hit it's already disrupted the global supply chains we know that car manufacturers in south korea for instance have had to halt production because they can't get spare parts from china so it's not just you know the virus that chinese officials are trying to contain it's also trying to keep a handle on the economy and also to control and contain the simmering anger that continues over the government's response to this crisis i think that that's adrian brown there live from hong kong well as we had the number of confirmed coronavirus cases on board a quarantined cruise ship in japan has now almost doubled is that the port in yokohama. we're hearing. incidents of infection among

us injures on the crew members on board of the ship just a few hours ago when the health ministry announced that more 60 more people have been infected it wasn't actually a shock to many people here because the experts have been warning of the possibility of more infections on this confined place. am of this of the current enough. time on the princess for 14 days was to prevent the virus from spreading but the experts say that in such environment virus could spread among the passengers and crew members especially the crew members who who have to stay in come on places and who have to stay even double bedrooms so. many of the infections now which. might be might be on the crew members that are around 1000 crew

members on board of the ship and if this numbers prove to be among the crew members then we may hear of more and more numbers during the coming days. let's break down for dr mohammed good air who's in lancaster he's of religious and lecturer at lancaster university thank you so much for your time teams around the world of working very quickly to get vaccines into the trial stage tell us how difficult or otherwise is that process and then the process going from trial through to production. well one thing i would like to highlight that for such kind of disease is good control mayors and very good vaccine are probably the only solution to really the further spread of these infection so right from the beginning the vaccine efforts have started quite extensively governments have started to put in the money and there are serious efforts ongoing around the word

however making a vaccine is not really a big challenge vaccine can be constructed using different approaches within a month or so the major challenges really come from to prove it's a minute initiative which means how good the vaccine is afaik ac and the safety that require a lot of trials preclinical and clinical trials in animals before a vaccine can be make available for a human application so really challenge lies in the testing the efficacy and immunity an s.d. which is taking most of the time we've also as of a reporting say the largest jump in the death toll in a single day since the outbreak began are we likely to see more records like that being broken as time goes on. since before look at the history of the virus since it has been reported there hardly been a few days as. the number of cases have started dipping but overall the

number has increased significantly for example if we talk just about last 9 days 3 days of 1000 cases been added so if we really look on to the trend of the increase i think the peak has not yet been reached and we are expecting more kisses before we start seeing any decline in near future the world health organization is warning that the low rates of person to person transmission that we've seen outside of china so far may be and i quote the tip of the ice why is that. well that is really an important concern at this moment because if you really compare this war on a coronavirus fixes cousin. which caused the damage and makes back in 2002 and $2.00 doesn't tweak the this why does appear to be more infectious for example within one and a half month history we have more than 40000 cases. we had only $8000.00 cases for the for the entire year so this why does appear to be more infectious

which means the transmission is relatively more smoother and more frequent compared to the sorts coronavirus however luckily this white house is not as little as the source coronavirus is so because of this infectiousness it is likely that the cases would increase in the near future as well thank you for your time that's for all just dr mohamed morsi there live from lancaster. a syrian opposition forces have begun a military offensive to dispell government troops from the northwest footage shows syrian rebels and if their province with newly supplied turkish armored vehicles trying to recapture the town of starke it reports suggest text troops are shelling syrian army. syrian government forces are advancing in the southern part of aleppo province toward the rebels' last stronghold of at least 22 civilians have been killed by airstrikes since sunday reports from neighboring turkey. 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 show 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. over the past few days. forces have managed to make significant achievements its troops that were coming from eastern little had 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 of already skate. is among thousands. they have nowhere to go. but. we're 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 a new outpost near. 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 in. its 2 years since turkey russia and iran agreed to establish

a little rise there. 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 has about al-jazeera istanbul. dozens of graves have been vandalized in the southern suburbs of it live video appears to show groups affiliated with syrian government forces destroying the graves income and village syrian forces have controlled the area since late last month with an impartial though is inside syria how are not far

from the turkish border seen him what more can you tell us about this rebel counter-offensive. well it seems more than an hour ago the opposition fighter groups have launched this offensive in the countryside of sirach and a rub against the syrian government forces it seems they they will try to take back surat group which a couple of days ago was that that was not possible in the near future now we this is the clashes are confirmed even by the turkish military sources on the ground also we are hearing that turkish army is also supporting the syrian fighter groups the opposition fighter groups. extra shellings and they're also videos circulating on social media that turkish military members are literally on the ground to back the syrian opposition fighter groups. the f.s.a.

. well it's if this is like this this is what prisons are down turkey's are don has been mentioning that turkey will launch an a for ration inside syria and turkey has been sending reinforcements so far we have heard that more than 2000 vehicles of reinforcements have been deployed to live since since last week and even just last night. around 250 vehicles full of equipments and other things have been deployed to turkey insists to reinforce its military observation post and by the way there is a meeting between between turkish and russian the legations underway in turkish capital ankara and let's not forget that this offensive by the turkish backed syrian opposition fighters just began almost simultaneously at the very same time

with the russian delegation meeting and so far it seems that turkey is also trying to gain a leverage on the diplomacy table with a military. 3. using some hard power inside but of course it is expected that the syrian government is going to retaliate and this situation might also force more displacement actually the serac of area is a ghost town right now if they only had the syrian around army over there but for now the tension is triggered on the ground and clashes are under way and probably be the fate of the military tension situation inside will depend on what is being told in ankara today thanks for that that sent him there live from our. thank you my head on the news hour including. in bangladesh along the indian border

where there's been a significant increase in illegal crossings since india introduced a controversial citizenship bill. passed damage and disruption will have more on the impact of strong kira back to parts of northern europe. and in the world number 229 it was too good for a 5 time major champion. early results are in for ireland's general election sinn fein has surged to take 24.5 percent of 1st preference votes just ahead of the 2 center right past fall and feeney gales that have dominated mainstream irish politics for nearly a century old brennan reports from dublin i lead a merry new mcdonald was welcome to the dublin county like a hero of 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 on fianna gael it's a big stake in sochi she says it makes statements that this is no longer a 2 party system it's a state that's. a different type stuff and if you have great 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 there 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 stuck with 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 count center in dublin. but the party has evolved i think painted a couple of great never 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 traditionally terms of marketing communication guts 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 accept 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 australia for me government one that can lead the country forward for the next 5 years feel 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 the 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. well the barker is with us now from dublin named one of these results named for the formation of a new government. well it opens up a whole load of questions i think that's the 1st and foremost thing to say. given that the early figures indicate that shem fein as not just the head of the 2 parties of power that of occupied a dominant force in irish politics for generations but doesn't in any way indicate that they will run away with this completely because of the political system and the voting system used here in ireland it's called the single transferable vote where people are allowed to vote for difficult it's for different parties rank them in order of preference and the votes then need to be counted multiple times so people's 1st choices have currently been completed it looks as if she impatient fate have it there but now the 2nd and 3rd choices need to be calculated as well i

think the greater indication of what the final results will be probably was came out of the exit poll on saturday that had the 3 main parties or now 3 main parties level pegging and that of course raises the prospects of a coalition government because of course no one party can win this individually the problem there is is that to finagle fall and she would fain of never work together in the past when a gale and its leader leo veronica the prime minister has said categorically he cannot work with sinn fein for the full have suggested that they possibly could and soon fain have indicated that they may try to go it alone in partnership with some of the smaller parties so it may be a few more days before we have the final definitive result saying that though in the meantime already discussions are taking place to work out what kind of government may take shape over the coming weeks very much uncharted territory tell us what i think a issues that can find campaigned on and it has obviously been successful with.

in short health care housing homelessness fane has been significantly gaining ground on the 2 main parties for over the last few years in which live rank has been prime minister he's presided over a period of massive so true social and cultural change in what is still a culturally conservative a predominantly traditionally at least catholic country same sex marriage is legal abortion is now legal for actors also paid a tremendous amount of attention on the brakes in negotiations with the neighboring united kingdom but he's been accused of missing the mark here at home and failing to pay attention to the soaring housing crisis as a whole generation of young people who simply can't afford to ever own their own home house prices have gone up 86 percent of the last few years rents here in dublin a higher than in singapore and tokyo and it's these issues where fane of really

focus their attention and clearly that message seems to have landed but it is early days when it comes to having a full idea of what these results will be think that that's a lie from dublin thousands of homes were left without power and hundreds of flights canceled care ahead to europe winds of up to 150 kilometers an hour battered ireland britain and parts of the mainland the worst has passed meteorologists warned that heavy rains and blizzard will continue on and gave has more. sounding the sirens warning residents in this northern english town of the young coming. across the region storm carol lashed with hurricane force winds more than 100 kilometers per hour accompanied by torrential rain as police closed the roads people scramble to

be able to export them if the crisis stays as it is last week israel's defense minister imposed a ban on all palestinian agricultural produce from entering its markets this prompted palestinian authorities to cut down on some israeli imports but the crisis started last september when palestinians decided to stop importing beef from israel with the aim of becoming more economically independent now the israeli military says it will block palestinians from transferring their shipments through the jordan crossing it's the occupied west bank only direct export route to the outside world and strains are already being felt as palestinian goods are being sent back here this is a systematic policy in the retaliation that came at the height of the agricultural season to struggle that is the backbone of the palestinian economy in the jordan valley trade tensions have escalated in recent months and have been further aggravated by fears of violence in the region over

a controversial middle east plan put forward by the united states the palestinian authorities are calling on israel to revoke its decision but israel's government says normal trade will only resume if the cattle ban is lifted. meanwhile the harvest here continues but the border remains closed to exports and the farmers have no way of getting their projects to market mohammed al jazeera. many lebanese women say they'll no longer be silenced by law as they consider to be discriminatory of in the forefront of nationwide protests that started in october and led to the resignation of prime minister saad hariri. some of those leading new projects. well michel assist is making their voices heard music cannot criticizes the political elites corruption and raises. awareness' monitored louder than what it isn't and this is their latest

the program the recently visited became a fossil in the sahara region he told al-jazeera is diplomatic editor james space he was shocked by what he saw. displacement the number of people forced to leave their homes have increased exponentially and the country the situation that has struck me most was book enough us where really do proportions of the humanitarian crisis. s. kelly very very rapidly do you think the media and for that matter policymakers haven't quite realized how bad this is well i have to tell you that even i who read about this situation talk to colleagues every day i had not gauge the extent of the gravity of the crisis until i reached in particular as i said work enough us there . i observed a situation i spent actually 2 days in

a situation of massive displacement so armed groups armed terrorist groups are operating in the area bordering mali work enough are so nice there it's a like it 3 way border area saw in speaking with so many people in particular we heard stories of men killed children brutalized and separated from their families and what struck me more sed women raped i don't have statistics but they think the proportion of women that have that have suffered sexual violence is staggering in that particular situation and. is most likely the most urgent feature of the most the compelling feature of this very very grave situation that is developing as we speak african union

a long time but now there are problems there and they're being forced to leave sometimes smugglers are necessary and these are indian border force officers handing people over to their bangladeshi counterparts they're all muslim they say there is a new hostile environment towards them in india in decades past bangladeshis left their villages and crossed the rice paddies to india more than 2000000 are there now according to the government in new delhi. in december india's parliament passed a fast track citizenship act for people from neighboring countries that explicitly excludes muslims now it's impossible to say exactly how many people are illegally crossing the border from india into bangladesh but we do know that the border force has detained more than 500 people just in the last couple of months and the smugglers tell us they're crossing between 40 to 60 people every night and that's

just along this 45 kilometer stretch of a border that runs for more than 4000 kilometers the indian government says its new law is for persecuted religious minorities living among its muslim dominated neighbors that's not convince these bengali speaking muslims they say they faced harrisson from police in new delhi and bangalore who told them to leave or risk being sent to a detention center near how lada says he was just 18 months old when his parents took him across the border 26 years ago. they have been cracking down and there'd been no arrests 60 people from our community were detained and we haven't heard from them this caused panic and we decide it's time to leave and head for bangladesh cookie begum says she been in india with her husband and daughters for 11 years that's her indian work permit. there was a lab it's absolutely clear the ruling party in india doesn't want any bangladeshis living there anymore that only allow bengali speaking indians to live where we were

what can we do we have to live without dignity and honor so we came back. bangladesh prime minister sheikh hasina says she doesn't understand the purpose of india's new citizenship law our government is already struggling to cope with 1200000 reading or refugees from me and mark it can't afford another influx from its largest neighbor bernard smith al-jazeera on the bangladesh india border. and a campaign to win the white house goes up by daguerre on tuesday vote is in the battleground state of new. it will cost about us in the 1st primary election the state often shows the level of support presidential contenders have and the results can either build all lose momentum independent voters are important to new hampshire because they far outweigh republicans and democrats and unlike most states independents can cost votes in either primary and when it comes to the general election democrats have won the station the 6 of the past 7 presidential

less sweet is the trees making less sugar because maybe they're too caught up climate change is impacting all aspects of life in new hampshire and this state has an outsized role in determining who gets to be president and they say climate change really matters to them but it doesn't seem to impact their vote after all when he was on the campaign trail donald trump pretty much denied climate change and this state overwhelmingly voted for him in the last primary that is a challenge for catherine corkery of the sira club i think trying to find solutions to the climate crisis is hard and there is not a lot of. solutions that come to mind quickly that will address it i can explain politics i can just tell you about budgets and carlson though thinks it's changing because the climate undeniably is the sugar producer said they are by
