the skulls of my people a witness documentaries. i want to focus on the pentagon's top concern the people's republic of china the u.s. describes china as the biggest threat to the global order as it steps up efforts to persuade european countries to bar the tech giant way. hello once again from doha i'm kemal santa maria with the world news from al-jazeera coronavirus claims its 1st victim outside of asia and elderly chinese tourist dies in front. look at why a german community is having to make way for expanded coal production even though the industry is due to be replaced by renewables in 2 decades. and football club

manchester city's moving sports court of appeal against their punishment for breaking financial fair play rules. but a breaking news to start us off though the saudi u.a.e. led coalition has confirmed one of its planes as gone down in al jawf governorates this is in yemen's northeast who the rebels say they're the ones who shot down the royal air force plane on friday the media also reporting at least 30 civilians were killed in coalition air strikes in the region's. districts earlier we spoke to he has a hoody journalist and he told us the hutu rebels are showing that they have the ability to control the country's airspace. it seems to be that was a retaliation strike because just yesterday after the yemeni out of force even some hot shot down the saudi tornado fighter jet there was 8 to strike on that on the

wreckage of that fighter jet they think they will try and like why any evidence of but in the early hours of the morning they have targeted several homes and near that area and they believe that they were. i just want to just mention that some unconfirmed report has sort of created in sanaa that one of the pilot was injured and he was captured by some offices and i think that's why he has conducted a massive wave of air strikes on areas needed that the wreckage of that fighter jet because they believe that they want. to kill this pilot and maybe they have some believe that he might be captured in those areas that's why there was $35.00 civilians who were killed and many of them are women and children. civilians as well were injured in that way for air strikes at this stage in the conflict in yemen how important how big a deal is it if the who these did actually manage to shoot down

a saudi warplanes. they made this book son of a yemeni i mean when i. say that about 30 minutes ago that they would release in the coming hours footage of the shooting down of the niece and the shooting down of that the fighter jet on a they were so full that of that i could show you that the assad forces has been able after they have shot down. several of the american drones over the sky of yemen in the last 3 months now it seems to be that they are able to shoot down those fighter jet on they can say that if they stop at this stage this means that we are going to end that a new stage of the lot because if the saudi cannot conduct that ike the support of its forces or its a loyalist on the ground this means that the yemeni army has the upper hand. to me and i have the up on because now they have all type of ballastic missiles they have that all and they can control the sky of yemen on as well they can defend it on top

of that they can i was well thought to get inside saudi arabia to stop it from conducting any strike in the future and i think that the latest attack that killed 55 civilians showed that yemeni out of me would it tally 8 with massive attack against saudi arabia on to other news in the u.s. defense secretary is calling china the biggest threats to the global order speaking at the munich security conference a few hours ago marcus for a q. to the chinese government of seeking advantage across the world by any means and at any cost and he again european countries to stay away from the chinese tech giant while way a demand that has been rebuffed by european allies under president she's ruled the chinese communist party is heading even faster and further in the wrong direction more internal repression more predatory economic practices more heavy handedness and most concerning for me a more aggressive military posture. it is essential that we as an international

community wake up to the challenges presented by china's manipulation of the longstanding international rules based order that has benefited all of us for many decades covering the conference for us from munich is john help. well the world's 2 most powerful nations squared off against one another here in munich 1st the united states secretary of state mike crapo and defense secretary marc esper giving notice firing the starting gun essentially on what could be a new era of u.s. defense and foreign policy. china as enemy number one the pentagon's top priority said mark s. but because of its more aggressive military posturing in the region its trade economic and territorial ambitions further afield he said we do not want to conflict with china we want china to play by the rules abide by international norms in short we want china to behave and making the point in no uncertain terms that

the u.s. expects its allies to view things likewise noting in particular chinese telecom giant huawei some european allies the u.k. in particular in talks with huawei to help build their 5 g. networks where the u.s. of course sees huawei as a trojan horse for chinese intelligence well it wasn't long before china had the opposite opportunity here to respond when ye the foreign minister saying china will not follow the western model and seek a germany in the world but rather choose a policy of peaceful development working for shared prosperity and he had this very pointed response to those u.s. comments. before i came here my colleagues told me about what the 2 american senior officials said and they have been once again repeating their smears and criticism of china it has become a common scenario they basically say the same thing wherever they go about china and i don't want to waste our time responding to each and everything they've said

what i want to say is that all of these accusations against china are lies they are not based on facts so china emerging here presenting itself certainly as an unlikely standard bearer for multilateralism the very policy plank and pillar upon which western diplomacy has been built and practiced for decades and the very thing that many here and elsewhere would say that the trumpet ministration has abandoned . so here's my own bashara a senior political analyst in london to talk through some of this now and the fact that mark spitz said this in munich jonah described it earlier as a platform for people to say what they want but he says that in unity in europe there's a very specific audience here isn't there. absolutely and i think the statements should not be read seen or understood outside this context that this is that acted . to europe not even to china per se or to to the u.s.

public to the american public because there's nothing that we've heard new from the from a miss a shot about what sort of a strategy are they envisioning a new strategy to deal with china because we all know that they've abandoned the strategy of the previous president president obama's benefit to asia and the trans-pacific partnership that was abandoned by the trump administration 2 strategies that were meant to contain china militarily and economically so what we hear here today is basically also similar to what we heard from the obama administration that china why it should be underwriting the international order with the united states has been undermining it and that's why the term administration is upping the ante but where and who well it's towards europe because it wants europe to get with the program and get behind the united states and it comes to while away or it comes to anything else the united states feels

that you'd of must support the united states but what we've heard from other speakers like present micro-loan alan the german president is that there's a sense in europe that the united states or rather the administration has been taking it for a ride been taken advantage of it and that europe needs to speak more united independently of the united states including on question of china and whether or not to incorporate while weigh in it's. technology or artificial intelligence or busy what have you so we have a bit of nuance a bit of. i would say disagreement 'd between europe and the united states on this issue. mowen can i ask you about afghanistan as well because this is something which i think we all thought would be front and center at this conference before the china statements were made this is the idea of the the u.s.

and taliban reducing violence for a week can you explain it to us in actually what that achieves long term you know the fact that the united states could not enforce a cease fire at troops on the side of bonn speaks louder than a 1000 pages of of an agreement i mean the fact that after 20 years of war the superpower the world superpower could not impose even a ceasefire even a truce on the taleban in order to pave the way for more political and more technical discussions it really does speak louder than than anything else that i've seen before in the sense that when when when the powerful fights the weaker party for too long it's the power for that becomes weak and what we have here what many are around the world see perhaps a diplomatically. complicated process moving forward perhaps politically

expedient. process on the part of the throat by administration in an election year but strategically this sounds like america is giving in because america needs to get out now and to share as a senior political analyst in london thank you my one europe has recorded its 1st death from coronavirus softer an elderly chinese tourists died in france the filthy 4th person to die outside of mainland china the outbreaks killed more than 1500 people now but the world health organization says china is now running 82 trials for possible treatment the director of the w h o's emergencies program is calling on nations around the world to work with beijing to fight the virus. this dainty little different trials underway in china right now everything from traditional medicine all the way through to and drugs. and that's done in collaboration with trying to expand scientists with extreme investigators. that's an incredible advances in just basic knowledge over the next

2 to 3 weeks or so all these trials will have results in 2 to 3 weeks. china's foreign minister wang ye who you saw earlier has also accused some countries of overreacting and causing panic at the right he says china is confident determined to defeat the virus but as i jim brown reports there are growing concerns over the shortage of protective gear for the front line medical workers medical workers in china are fighting a battle for the world in some cases without adequate protection more than 1700 nurses and doctors have so far been infected several have died many of them look so exhausted in front of the camera when you're exhausted you will get infected because you just lost your. you cannot follow the guidelines well. last week the chinese government conceded there was a shortage of essential medical equipment including protective clothing but state

t.v. says that's changing now it's been showing pictures of army medical teams arriving at the epi center with specialist gear further proof says china of its intensifying efforts to control the virus a virus that the country's foreign minister says has created excessive alarm among some governments really good winter will pass and the spring is sure to come china's vigorous and thorough measures are paying off the epidemic has posed a severe challenge to china's economic and social development none the less the difficulties will be temporary and short lived the latest official figures from china's national health commission offer a crumb of comfort these latest figures don't show a significant drop in the death rate but the number of new infections in who by province is falling they were half what they were on thursday but experts outside china urged caution saying these figures can be independently verified analysts say

it's become a pivotal moment for china's leader xi jinping if this works and it looks like this thing is contained and they get thumbs up from the world health organization and other you know epidemiologist it's going to look like they've done the right thing and he could come out of this looking well but at the moment it's such a go on saturday china's government extended its quarantine restrictions to the capital beijing anyone returning to the city following the extended lunar new year holiday must now isolate themselves at home for 14 days state media says those who don't will be punished without specifying what that will mean in hong kong the infection rate is under 16 with one dead now the chief executive kerry lam says the government has to spend more than $4000000000.00 of taxpayers' money helping workers affected by the virus she says around. $200000.00 low income families will be given a one off grant of more than $600.00 each but there's no help yet for many small to

heard in the last few minutes or so sounds like outgoing and incoming shelling we've also heard what sounds like small arms fire despite this push for a cease fire there is ongoing fighting here we heard last night one civilian was killed very close to here the majority of this area now is completely clear of civilians they have left part of the what the u.n. says around 160000 people that at least been displaced by this conflict many of them staying in schools in other areas of tripoli the been a number of schools that have been hit by shells as well according to the u.n. around half a 1000000 children have been affected by this conflict now we spoke to one of the field commanders operating in this area and this is what he had to say this but.

a last thing since. his forces would continue until in his words he took control of all of tripoli. now coal fired power stations in germany are all due to be closed in the next 18 months but the government's accused of breaking its promises to replace coal with more environmentally friendly sources of energy as well coal mining is threatening some communities as dominic cain reports. the guard's violent mind has been here for decades producing lignite or brown coal to fuel the nearby power station which produces more energy than any other in germany a symbol of the country's continuing dependence on fossil fuels in 2019 brown coal and hard coal or anthracite provided more than 29 percent of the electricity used nuclear provided 14 percent renewables accounted for 46 percent but ministers are committed to combating climate change by reducing emissions and spent much of the

last year deep in discussions about how to meet those commitments then surely they found a compromise we have both forms of coal will be phased out within the next 18 years that's hard these are tough negotiations they took a long time in my view too long but you can see the result where the 1st country with a binding agreement to exit coal and nuclear power and that's an important signal internationally. felix martis was a member of the commission which advised the government to prioritize a steady phasing out of coal he says they've not taken that advice and broken their promises in doing so their viral loads are to dis recommendation of the study phase out the pathway at the moment is to wait until the year 2013 and to wait until the year 2038 and shut down the major share of the listener plans shortly before abuse that alliance one of the consequences of that will perhaps be felt

most here bare for heart just down the road from guts failure with the mines immediate future guaranteed its owners want to expand it by buying the properties in bear the heart relocating the residents and then destroying the houses to mine the coal underneath already some people here have taken the money and moved out but not litter cox whose family has lived here for 6 generations she is fighting to stay we need to go back onto the streets we must show people above all we must show politicians that what they're planning to do is absolutely mad we must show them that we won't put up with it ministers are clear that minds like me will one day disappear and that renewable sources of energy are. the trouble for the people living around here is there things will have to go 1st of all this white the government stated commitment to

a green future dominic came al-jazeera. thousands of people have gathered in indonesia's body as part of an annual cleanup of the island's beaches is the 1st clean up since the popular tourist destination introduced a ban on single use plastics so that i could difference well jessica washington post story. it's only morning but these volunteers are braving the heat and spending their weekend picking up plastic for years bali's beaches have attracted millions of tourists but plastic pollution has spoiled the natural beauty oh chain age sisters are behind the push to cut down the island's waist it's the 4th year they've organized this annual mass clean out this is to say the beaches are clean assumes a ban on many single use plastics began but there's more work to do we saw a definite overnight shift change in modern retailers and bigger businesses but when it comes to you know smaller family owned businesses or you know the

traditional markets it's definitely a longer process the ban applies to plastic bags straws and some packaging but there's no penalty for businesses that preach it food wrapping and bottles make up most of these plastic waste at this market traders start their day early selling fruit vegetables and traditional sweets all of it is still covered in plastic. and sometimes people forget to bring bags so we have to get them out we also need plastic to repost. a lot myself and i think that's like i've noticed bali is cleaner since the band started but sometimes i differ get to bring a bag but it's still new here. away from the tourist hot spots locals come to this speech on islands south east coast to fish and kulov the situation on the beaches can change from day to day when there's heavy rain the incoming tide often washes in a deluge of plastic waste the local government here has set an ambitious target of

reducing marine plastic by 70 percent by the end of the year but not all of bali's plastic comes from bali itself a large proportion comes from other internation islands. indonesia is one of the world's worst marine pollution is one recent study found around 15 percent of marine plastic around the world is thrown away in indonesia bali is the 1st province in indonesia to introduce anti plastic regulations but environmentalist here hope it won't be the last bali was definitely i think the pioneer island in egypt going back 3 but we did see canadians come up from jakarta you know wanting to go plastic bag free as well in the next 6 months in other places as well and we definitely see a ripple change in fact it's a message even bali's youngest are getting behind just to washington al-jazeera. now in football manchester city are to appeal their 2 season banned from the champions league for breaking financial fair play roles the club's amorality own is
