warning it will strike hard against government forces if they target its soldiers. italy's former deputy prime minister is to stand trial for refusing to allow a boat with a rescued migrants to dock. the 1st there's been a huge surge in the number of corona virus infections in the chinese province where it all began officials in who have confirmed almost 15000 new cases late on wednesday up from 1600 just the day before and the highest ranking communist official in the province was sacked $242.00 more deaths have been announced well the world health organization says reports that the outbreak is stabilizing in china they must be treated with extreme caution it says it's too early to tell when

the outbreak could end. we need to focus on the task the task is to contain the virus to detect cases to treat the cases if we keep doing those things yes we may see a drop in the number of cases but i think it's way too early to try and predict the beginning the middle or the end of this epidemic right now and in vietnam 10000 people in a community outside of hanoi they've been placed under 20 days quarantine 5 people there have been infected and that brings the total number of cases of coronavirus in vietnam to 50. all right we can now speak to our correspondent who's in beijing katrina you 1st of all katrina what's behind this massive surge this this huge number of new cases that are being confirmed in who bay province. we're still waiting to hear more info but the main reason has been given by the government is that they've been expanding the way that doctors are beginning to

diagnose this corona virus no firstly we knew that the doctors were relying on one type of test a particular type of acid test to test all the patients and to confirm that they had the current virus and nationally there weren't enough tests to go around and after there were there started to be reports of this test not being reliable for example some people were having to be tested 4 to 5 times before receiving a positive test and now there have been other reports that this test is difficult to use sometimes it's used to swab particular parts of the body that may not have the virus and then it may be used again for example to be used to take in some samples from the lungs and then patients may be confirmed to have finally the corona virus so the government says that doctors are begin being given more discretion in their ability to to diagnose this some of the milder cases that were suspected to have coronavirus doctors can now use x. rays for example or c.t.

scans to say that those people definitely do have the krona virus so this could be one of the main reasons why we seen such a big jump in those numbers all right katrina you live in beijing thank you very much for that right there was a cruise ship that had been turned away by 4 different asian governments because of fears of the virus will that ship has now arrived in cambodia correspondent wayne hay is at sihanoukville at the port. authorities have allowed this ship to dock what sort of procedures are underway now. yes well the passengers and crew aboard that ship behind me have been at sea for almost 2 weeks now they still can't come ashore and it may be some time yet before they can do that for a couple of reasons there are a number of processes that are underway on board the ship right now one of them is the issuing of visas to those people who want to come ashore here in the next

couple of days then they will once those visas are issued they will be able to travel travel on to their home countries the other one of course importantly is medical testing we have been told that there are no confirmed coronavirus cases on board the ship that is still the case but we are now told that there are 20 people who are unwell on the boat now it's still a tiny tiny percentage there are more than 2000 passengers and crew on board that ship so it's a small percentage but still the symptoms warrant further examination so swabs have been taken from those 20 people and flown to the capital phnom penh via military helicopter where will they will undergo further analysts now the question then becomes if one or more of those samples does test positive for the virus then will the cambodian all 30 still allow the ship to come in tie up at this ports the government is saying we don't know yet whether we will allow that if indeed one of them tests positive for the virus if they are all cleared the plan is far as the

government tells us is for the ship to tie up at this port some time on friday and then the disembarkation of those passengers will begin and what's the general lay of the landing in cambodia i mean how many cases of confirmed coronavirus have been reported. just one so far there was a man in this city actually in san oakville he was hospitalized with the virus has been cleared now and released from hospital the government here has been very keen to downplay the threat of this virus from day one really and also to stress its close relationship with china the prime minister hun sen was in beijing last week he met with president xi jinping and president xi in that meeting according to the government officials who are with them basically praised the cambodian government's response to this situation one of the responses they have taken is to not follow the lead of other countries and stop flights coming from mainland china into

cambodia those flights still landing or to place travel bans on chinese nationals coming into this country so people still can come here will be at the numbers are significantly down so by allowing this ship to come into this port which may happen again on friday morning some time it is going to be seen certainly as some sort of geo political public relations coup for the government in cambodia but also will be welcomed by the likes of the united states remembering that there are almost how off the number of passengers on board that ship are u.s. nationals so again this will be seen as something of a p.r. coup for the government of this country all right wayne thank you for that wayne hay reporting there live from c.n.n. fail in cambodia. well there's a nother line coming out of china this morning and that is that beijing is set to its chief on hong kong and macau affairs jang meaning is the most senior official

to be removed from his post since mass anti-government protests began in hong kong that was last june and he's to be replaced by the deputy chairman of beijing's top political advisory body the months long protests were against the controversial extradition law that's now been scrapped. turkey has sent in more reinforcements to its observation posts in northern syria president bedouin is warning he'll strike back if syrian forces in the province attack turkish troops syria's ally russia accuses ankara of making the situation worse in the last rebel held region by having its military on the ground. and there's the confrontation between american troops and government supporters in the northeast in syria. as more on that from istanbul. a russian patrol in north east syria near. after u.s. troops in the area opened fire killing one civilian. the u.s.

of touch with reality but despite his anger and frustration president is still hoping he would be able to narrow differences with russian president vladimir putin the 2 signed agreements into $1018.00 which allowed for save lives and respect of the rebels movements the deals also prevent a syrian president bashar assad from launching a military campaign to take over the last stronghold of the rebels. as turkish russian relations remain strained the u.s. has stepped in during a meeting with turkish officials u.s. syria ovoid james jeffrey delivered a sharp rebuke of russia iran and the syrian government which the us blamed for the escalation as tension mounts turkey sending more troops into it live adding more

out opposed to the 12 already established after the degree meant with russia and iran 2 years ago. the syrian government has been increasing its offensive in the north taking over crucial highways and towns from rebels but it can only do this with a close support of russia's military and it's up to the russians and to the turks to decide what happens in syria next. it's on board. robin go to another of our correspondents in cause here lou she's in bob our that's in northern syria right by the turkish border and so we hear sinan the turkey sending in reinforcements and in fact extending the number of outposts what exactly are these outposts supposed to be doing and what kind of reinforcements are being sent. well martin turkey has 12 military observation posts and the desk relations are

agreed upon a star and sole chief. agreement under to go into a ship of turkey russia iran and of course the syrian government was involved and though those were agreed back in september 2018 it's not all the turkey that have that has observation posts into the escalation zone but also the russians as well and the mission of those military observation posts was basically to observe the possible violations of the the escalation zone agreement and report them so that it's a check and balance system to see whether the syrian government or the opposition who are inside the escalation zone are abiding with the calls agreed in a start and sochi or not so that was the mission those though the mission was not the call was not a combat mission but from time to time especially through these shia fighter groups

embedded with the syrian government forces those forces turkish forces have been subject to harassment fires those were small incidents for instance that happened last august in a turkish force in more egg however and the syrian government started to this obey the agreement of the escalation zone and violated the borders and start to advance from south to north basically to gain could. troll over the m 5 and am for highways that we have been reporting for recently if because those highways are actually connecting aleppo to damascus mainly artery to the vanes for the country straight so as the syrian government advanced some of the turkish force were left were encircled by the syrian government forces which ended up as through a close and current thing especially in military post number number 68 and 7 basically inside iraq of an ira there is

a very close contact the distance between the syrian government forces and the turks is 1.2 kilometers or 3 kilometers which causes attention that's why turkey is trying to protect those military posts from another attack by the syrian government forces or its allies fighter groups that's why sending reinforcements and among those reinforcements are tanks armored vehicles personnel carriers and recent that turkey deployed hole it says a special to set up of unmovic and those who would search were used for the 1st time yesterday when the opposition forces launched an offensive against the syrian government forces in the late afternoon yesterday sin and cause here lou in northern syria thank you. still to come here at al-jazeera. i'm adamant in malawi after months of anti-government demonstrations of a disputed election people a case of rape and sexual abuse have still not been prosecuted. as dead
