this month 8 soldiers were killed in an attack by syrian army in the same area and escalation that increases the risk of a full blown military confrontation between ankara and damascus. the main aim is that the cease fire should be respected as soon as possible in a labor of a 3 must stop it's a question for a permanent understudy to cease fire. grows a sudden counter offensive by the rebels they launched an attack to retake the town of sirte that is now under the control of syrian government troops. as the turkish backs syrian national army fighters will close in in. the bombardment intensified. turkish army units in targeting syrian troops positioned in the town while turkey sends more troops and vehicles into it at an unusually fast pace.

we hope that this convoy will do what they promised and force the regime back to where they were we hope that they will do what is promised and not to be deceitful straddling the intersection of the major 4 and m 5 most always but government held cities of damascus aleppo and latakia. could shape the future of rebel held territory it is the last rebel held area in syria and for many defending the province is a matter of life after the death of the turkish soldiers in india is likely to put more pressure on the government here many are waiting to see if president. will order a tough response or show restraint as talks with russian diplomats and military officers are underway in ankara. istanbul the u.n. says nearly 700000 people have been forced from their homes by the fighting in northern syria 100000 moved in the past week alone it's thought to be the biggest

displacement in such a timeframe in the 9 year war government troops and their allies are advancing with the help of russian air power they've captured nearly all of the m 5 highway which links some of syria's biggest cities aleppo damascus and attack the road is crucial for the government's economy turkey has 12 observation posts in the provinces along its borders several of them are now surrounded by syrian troops. the one that came under fire on monday fronting turkish retaliation so of course all is in the turkish border region of her she says the turkish military is determined to press on with its offensive. turkey vows to continue its reinforcements to protect this military observation post inside it live and these pows were brought here according to our style and sochi agreements. as part of the escalation there so the main

objective of this observation post was to observe the cease fire and the escalation violations however since the syrian government forces have violated the cease fire and the escalation zone agreement turkey started to. store up for reinforce these military posts and not only to protect the soldiers but also to protect the civilians being pushed from south to north and being displaced but on the other hand we're hearing that the syrian government forces also keep reinforcing and so this reinforcement being used as a tool for a possible deterrence doesn't seem to work and for the very 1st time in the syrian civil war on qur'an damascus are about to confront each other's. bullen televisor is the director of the turkey project for the center for strategic and international studies says the pressure is on russia to keep this from escalating between syria and turkey. it's unclear whether it's going to lead to

a full blown war between the 2 sides something that they have avoided in what was in essence a proxy war between syrian opposition forces backed by turkey from 2011. 12 and the syrian armed forces backed by the russians and and the iranians there was a russian military delegation in saturday. for talks with the turks that was inconclusive they've come back for a 2nd round of talks in ankara and in between there was the attack by the syrian. artillery and artillery elements against the turkish forces leading to the death of 5 soldiers so the question is are the russians who have decisive influence over the assad regime are going to use that influence to restrain the syrians and use their own going contacts with the turks to prevent them from from proceeding to

a full blown war it's unclear at the moment. the number of people killed by the corona virus outbreak has passed 1000 chinese officials just announced another 109 deaths the biggest single day jump since the outbreak began number of cases has risen to more than 43000 globally and scientists in london are working on a possible vaccine. johns hopkins university in the united states has been tracking the latest updates on the spread of the corona virus its interactive map shows the vast majority of cases are concentrated in mainland china head of the world health organization is warning though because risk of a global pandemic has the world sees more human to human transmission outside china . in recent days we have seen some concerning instances of onward transmission from people with no travel history to china like the

cases reported in france yesterday and the united kingdom today the detection of this small number of cases could be the spark that becomes a bigger fire but for no it's only a spark our objective remains containment let's go to katrina you in beijing for the latest we understand cheating ping as been seen in public for the 1st time since the outbreak began what's his message been in is it assuring people. that's right so she didn't being for the 1st time since the outbreak began the scene in public you was seen donning a face mask you visited 2 hospitals in beijing in beijing itself there are about $300.00 or so cases of the coronavirus and you also spoke to by video conference those doctors and health workers in rwanda in the front line of this and he said

that was a city of heroes and that this is really what he's called a people's war against the outbreak and it seems to be that his his tour yesterday his appearance really had 2 goals one it was as you mentioned to reassure the people this is a time of extreme tension and fear around china people are staying home every day were watching the headlines watching these numbers go up so really he was trying to reassure the people that the government has this in hand and that at the very top level the government are really doing what they can and i think the 2nd message perhaps more directly was to also quiet any challenges or any suspicion of challenge to his leadership i think there was a lot of talk that this is the biggest challenge that she didn't think has faced so far and that they could be a crisis in confidence in his government so i think that was also to sort of quiet any murmurs that there could be some shaky loyalties inside the party as well. one of the things though that he has in his appearance did prove is that this fight

against the outbreak is far from over i mean we were supposed to see on monday the end of the chinese lunar new year holiday resort to see some semblance of ordinary life but it's far from the case still in beijing certainly it's extremely quiet i'm sure it's the same for many cities around china so it seems to be that she jinping has also acknowledged that this far this fight is far from over and so we could see it continue for weeks if not weeks for months to come or monday's numbers are in let's talk about the largest number of deaths since the outbreak began but a significant drop in the number of new cases how is all being interpreted between . that's right so we did hear from the world health organization this weekend saying that the number of cases appears to be stabilizing now what the government is saying certainly in the most recent press conference just this past hour or so is that the number of cases the rise of cases appears to

be slowing outside of who we still have the large majority of cases inside of in one hand in surrounding areas but outside of china the seems to be a drop in that city the government is saying that there containment efforts the effort to lock down 50 or so 1000000 people a prevent them from leaving they seem to be saying that that is in fact working but we've also heard conversely that they're still finding out more about this virus in the still so much that we don't know for example many people have mild symptoms and they continue to have mild symptoms but others have mild symptoms at 1st and then they deteriorate very quickly we also heard from a medical expert in china this week who said that the incubation period for some people is typically about 3 to 7 days we start to see symptoms but actually the incubation period could be as much as 24 days so we're still getting more and more information about this. the government has said that they're sending about 16000

more stuff into because they have this goal of what they say is containing the 4 types of people the 4 types of people are confirmed cases suspected cases cases with fever and cases of people who have been in contact with those people so that's a massive undertaking to try to give treatment and to try to really to put those people in the right kind of care and in war hungry no there's still a massive shortage of beds this still a massive shortage of of stuff as well people are still struggling so even though cases outside of here they are starting at the rate of growth is starting to drop and that is comforting there's still much to be done certainly to contain the virus and to help those who are confirmed so far here in china or katrina you their friends for. as countries outside china work to prevent the current virus from spreading thailand has denied entry to a cruise ship carrying more than a 1000 people the westerdam has already been turned away from japan and the

20 years more than a 1000 people have been killed according to human rights watch borders and we don't want any more killings in the border there can arrest and can punish the people jailed them or find them but instead they're shooting them dead they want to get what it is our there are sometimes the indians will take people just for crossing a few centimeters into the other side by mistake and detain them for years we want some fair justice and a peaceful border this is our request to the government this is india's border fence but ours is the practice internationally it set back from the actual boundary line it's in the indian territory between the fence and the markers that the shootings happen now add to this easy to stray from bangladesh into india you can just about make out india carved in the stone there now the indian or parties have repeatedly promised to bring the number of border killings down to 0 and to introduce non-lethal weapons but it's clearly not happening. the indian government

considered a clue to the level of support presidential contenders have results can build all kill campaign went to independent voters are important in new hampshire there are more of them than republicans and democrats and unlike most states they can cast votes in either primary when it comes to the general election democrats have won the state and 6 of the past 7 presidential votes but in 2016 hillary clinton won by just 0.4 percent kristen salumi is in daraa in new hampshire so let's start with how it's shaping up for the democrats especially in the all important pete vs burnley match. yeah well i was just at a rally and for bernie sanders you can see they're clearing out it was have to so energized and enthusiastic 10000 people here according to the campaign

a lot of young people were at a university but older voters too who left before the rock stage the strokes to the sound. in terms of supporters we also saw congresswoman alexandria castillo cortez speaking out on behalf of bernie sanders he has a really strong base of support here in new hampshire that goes back to 2016 where he unexpectedly beat hillary clinton in the primary by 20 percent very unexpected and he's leading in the polls here and now he's gotten these me. facing us to challenge though from people who to judge as you mentioned the i the mayor from south bend indiana who eked out a surprise win in the iowa caucuses just inching ahead of bernie sanders but bernie pointed out here tonight that he actually got more votes whereas pete and it up with more delegates and he is now contesting the results there in some of those

precincts bernie sanders seems to be pulling away from the other liberal candidate in this race elizabeth warren but the race right now seems to be among the moderates joe biden vice president expected to be leading the pack had a poor showing in iowa he's not doing great in the polls in new hampshire and while he tries to downplay of that saying that he's focused on nevada and south carolina where he's got a lot of support among the african-american community the momentum is not good the buzz here has been for pete for bernie and another senator amy clover sharne finished better than expected in iowa and then had a really strong performance. in the democratic debate on friday here in new hampshire she raised almost $3000000.00 just since last friday so there's a lot of buzz about her as well but this right now it has been the biggest event for a democrat so far in new hampshire and it looks like bernie is going to be the man

to beat come tuesday here well the president is trying to pull the rug from under the feet of the democrats at the same time right kristen. that's true bernie may have the biggest event so far among democrats but not too far from here president held a rally where thousands of people showed up as well he is feeling good right now his popularity among republicans is that an all time high approval rating 94 percent among republicans and he said earlier today in the tweet that he wanted to come to new hampshire to shake things up for the democrats he called the democrats boring in fact and we saw people waiting in line it was a snowy and cold day here in new hampshire and people waited outside to go to the trump rally for hours so a lot of support for trump among republicans but a lot of fire among democrats to be president come come november

and well you know president may say that the democrats are boring i think the people that attended this event tonight would care to disagree is a very enthusiastic crowd and in the words of bernie sanders he claims that he is. waging the strongest grassroots campaign in the history of the united states he's vowing to take it all the way to the white house right kristen salumi that thanks for the. the u.s. department of justice is charged for chinese military hackers with suspicion of hacking a credit reporting agency in 2017 it resulted in a dot a breach which affected nearly $150000000.00 people one of the most severe ever reported the hackers spent weeks in equifax system breaking into computer networks and stealing company secrets and personal data this kind of attack on american industry is of
