live now to hong kong al-jazeera sarah clock is there for a sarah but number of new cases that of corona virus in china on the mainland has slowed for the 3rd day in a row is it perhaps too early to say that this epidemic has peaked. i think it's definitely too early to say that this epidemic has picked there was a new sparkle the sparks appeared earlier in the weight when china changed the way we're sitting it's counting method of the crime of virus infections but certainly on sunday china has announced a drop in the number of infections that's for the 3rd consecutive day but on sunday evening we have had confirmation of another death outside of china and at this it is in taiwan it's believed to be a man over the age of 60 is old he's also reportedly having or had underlying health conditions. i have no recent travel history no this was announced by taiwan's health minister he died on saturday taiwan's health minister confirmed this on sunday evening now basically this is the 5th this outside of china we had

the elderly tourists the chinese tourists who died in france on saturday and we've had a number of other for the deaths so that was basically japan the philippines taiwan hong kong france and that's of the 5 deaths outside of china certainly the government in china has announced a drop for its 3rd consecutive day with regards to infections but the number the diff tally globally is has now risen to 5 as we reported to go so they've been home there been protests there in hong kong what a lot of people mostly concerned about. well i dreamed of been a number of protests on saturday and sunday across hong kong and then there's a community rallies there in districts with the government has announced that they will set up these coronavirus treatment clinics in these particular areas on sunday we had about a couple of 100 people at one particular one encounter and the anger is from the

people in those areas the residents there saying the government failed to consult with the community about number one sitting at that location they only found out when the government announced earlier last week that was carrying them and they're also concerned about the fact that these clinics are being set up in quite hollywood high density areas overly populated big population areas of big population so they concern is that there's a risk or greater risk of community outbreak or the one in kalin where we were certainly it's certainly one of the poorer areas and there's a lot of elderly residents who live in that particular district and a number of high rises so if they do set up these chronic virus treatment clinics in those areas these communities are worried or concerned that there will be a greater risk of infection and we had the protests on saturday and sunday we had police also join some of those rallies trying to keep things under control but we also had some pro-democracy groups join that movement so it appears that the pro-democracy of the end of government groups which were part of those protests which we say no the last ice or 9 months or so they're now joining those community

groups who are against the government regarding the protests over these coronavirus treatment clinics being set up across the city i was there a sort of clock reporting live from hong kong sara many things do. well in mainland china this controversy over reports the president xi jinping and top leaders knew about the threat of the outbreak weeks before it was revealed to the public which is there is a dream brown is following that story from hong kong. chinese president xi jinping knew about the operation of the coronavirus you know early january that was 2 weeks before the government confirmed the 1st person to person transmission of the virus . and more than a week before dr lee one liang was silenced by the government for alerting colleagues the president delivered a speech to the politburo standing committee china's most powerful political body that was on february the 3rd but details were only released by state media this weekend those details amount to an official timeline of what the president knew and

when on january the 20th she says he issued special instructions to try to contain the outbreak 3 days later the city of woo hand was locked down a measure praised by the world health organization some analysts say china's leader appears to be covering his back after mounting criticism that he didn't respond fast enough on one hand. chinese leaders who would like to demonstrate that it had not the late in free acting in taking action to contain the epidemic that it had not tried to conceal the facts from the public but then are obviously the cover up conspiracy is very much in the minds of chinese people president xi also accused regional communist party leaders of not carrying out orders from the government in beijing and vowed to punish incompetent administrator this is the

greatest crisis to come from president putin playing since he came to power more than 8 years ago because it indicates the top leadership were aware of the potential for verity of a virus weeks before the public were told of a very injured at beijing's new international airport the economic impact from the virus is clear with few airlines flying to china one of the world's busiest travel hubs is at a virtual standstill. desolate scenes too across the border in hong kong on a sunday the city's world famous harborside would normally be teeming with tourists but this weekend just 3000 visitors arrived deepening the sense of isolation here as well adrian brown al jazeera hong kong in japan 70 more people aboard a quarantine cruise ship of tested positive for the corona virus brings the total number on the diamond princess to 355 around 33800 passengers and crew

particularly pronounced this is a place that draws thousands of tourists from china and up until recently they would dozens of direct flights operating from the epicenter of the virus but indonesian authorities say they have the situation under control and the world health organization also agrees that in these are is doing everything to their standard. we need 100. back to have a good day and we have. to have already a member. of the i mean the proper. elected more. we have $100.00 we're going to. reach her because. we're in. and. bali is quieter than usual that's because tens of thousands of chinese tourists have already cancelled their holiday plans earlier in

the month the indonesian government suspended all flights to and from china but there are at least 3000 chinese tourists currently in bali and while some plan on returning home by flying of a country at least $300.00 have already applied for a visa to enter. the rest of the day's news one of the un's top representatives on libya says of the weapons and bongo that has become a joke and that those who preach it must be held to account it comes out to foreign ministers from around a dozen countries met to discuss the conflict on the sidelines of a security summit in munich member. the libya international committee reaffirmed calls to end foreign military support for the warring sides and to stop the flow of weapons into the country war $24.00 half those forces have been fighting to capture the capital tripoli since april. the truce is holding only by a thread with numerous over 150 violations reported and it is the libyan people

that continue to suffer the most the economic situation continues to deteriorate exacerbated by the oil blockade and the looming banking crisis. let's go live now to munich and diplomatic at the james bays 'd who's following that meeting for us james. has something on your tie there. the german foreign minister said alongside that u.n. representative that real progress has been made today has it. well we'll see felt a bit like diplomacy is groundhog day today 13 foreign ministers here it munich from the same countries that were just summit in exactly 4 weeks ago saying basically the same thing saying that there was an arms embargo that needs to be respected but it was actually among those countries the ones that don't violate

saying. go up point at a news conference i put to germany's foreign minister. mr foreign minister you talk about a deplorable breach of the. we know who is breaching the arms embargo they were in the room with you what did you say should i'm not one of. those who continue to breach the embargo need to know that they will be detected and they will be named we will discuss that with the e.u. council on foreign affairs tomorrow and we will discuss the contribution the e.u. can make so that everybody knows that if they breach the embargo that they also violate a security council resolution and this will have a fix on them. look as the s.r.c. has said i think on numerous occasions the arms embargo has become a joke and so it you know we all need to step up here and. it is complicated because there are violations that are you know happening on land sea

and air and that all needs to be monitored and there needs to be accountability ultimately. so far we seem to have had a lot of talking a lot of hot air what happens next. well there are 2 problems we're facing here one the arms embargo we've talked about the other is the lack of a ceasefire on the ground in libya now that is going to be trying to be tackled again in geneva from choose state what are called the fly plus 5 talks military representatives all the 2 sides of the internationally backed government in tripoli and of general huff does he runs his own. operation in benghazi those 2 are going to talk about a cease fire and the u.n. a trying to create some momentum to this process they'd rather ambitiously put into dari an event 10 days from now which is when they're hoping they'll be a cease fire in place and get all the political actors in libya together in geneva

big talks and then the idea was still a long way away from this is un brokered elections to take place in the country al-jazeera is to promote it as a james base reporting live from munich james many thanks indeed sudan's ousted president omar al bashir has appeared in court for the 1st hearing on allegations of war crimes in the darfur region the conflict that began in 2003 when mainly non the arab rebels rose up against bashir is government accusing it of neglecting the region well this hearing is separate from the charges the pussy efface is at the international criminal court in the hague the i.c.c. has been pursuing him for more than a decade in 2009 he was charged with 2 counts of war crimes and 5 of crimes against humanity a year later the i.c.c. added 3 additional charges of genocide they all have to do with bashir his role in the darfur conflict years of fighting between pro-government forces and ethnic rebels left $300000.00 people dead and displaced 2 and

a half 1000000 earlier i spoke with simon adams who is the executive director of the global center for the responsibility to protect he says this hearing could indicate a date with the i.c.c. may be getting closer. the sudanese tragedy transitional authority have kind of indicated that they are prepared to hand over the shia to the i.c.c. and that's the 1st time that they've ever kind of given a hint of that so something is clearly under way and i think you know it's amazing to see just how quickly that country has changed in less than a year members only april last year when when bashir was overthrown and now they're literally talking about potentially handing them over so you can go in handcuffs to the hague but is what's happening in sudan today going to come up to international standards yeah i think that's a real question and i mean the one thing that's very interesting here is that the international criminal court hasn't actually said anything at this point and i assume that's because behind the scenes they're probably talking to the sudanese

authorities right now saying what would a domestic process look like what would a process in the hague look like and how could the international community potentially assist with some domestic process of that's the course they choose to pursue but the transitional council in sudan is not excel of itself full of people who are known for being defenders of human rights is far from it in fact there are some people inside the transitional council who you know probably belong at the hague as well not least of all humanity who controls the rapid support forces which willing to of course of the gender weight in darfur and so what's clear is that there's kind of a debate obviously behind closed doors at the moment inside the transitional authority to say what does needs democracy look like but also what does justice and accountability look like. this is the news hour from our series still to come on the program put the rebels say that they shot down a saudi well played and have a problem think a retaliation from the kingdom. for u.s. vice president joe biden battles for

a much needed victory he hopes to keep his race for the white house alive. and in sports tiger woods loses his way in pursuit of an 83rd career title saga here with that and the rest of the sport a little later. saudi he asked trikes have killed at least $31.00 civilians in the world and yemen the u.n. humanitarian chief again calls the attacks shocking the strikes happened all to hurt the rebels said they shot down a saudi warplanes al-jazeera as muhammad reports from the capital sanaa this is the moment yemen's these say they shot down a saudi air force fighter jet the group aired this video on saturday the saudi yielded qualis and confirmed to one of its planes it went down you know joe for governorates in the country's north east. the what these also broadcast what it

says is the aftermath sounded it was strikes in the area full of which the who these claim will retaliate to at this hour the quality released the statement saying there was a possibility of what it calls collateral damage to civilians this show you that the us and our forces has been able after they have shut down. several of the. american drones over the skies of yemen in the last 15 months now it seems to be that they are able to slow down despite that get on they can say that if they start at this stage this means that we are going to end that a new stage of the war the who these claims the plane was downed with then it's to missiles some another say that if that's true it would be a very significant development and yemen's long running war this is a big deal knowing that already there partners the iraqis you know how for all practical purposes withdrawn left and now the saudis are there and incapable

of finishing the war and certainly cable of winning the war and now perhaps with this game changer beginning to lose the war. more than 900-1000 people have been killed and another 3000000 displaced by the fighting millions more have been brutes to the brain to famine struck room agreement of 20000 raised troops for peaceful settlement suppose there is been news sign of that. if it's confirmed now these have new weapon in there that could change the direction. whatever happens it's billions who's in the middle who continue to pay the price. so no. qatar's foreign minister says that efforts to end the old this 3 year long blockade have failed but katsaris remain open to solving the resolving rather the

speirs saudi arabia the united arab emirates bahrain and egypt are refusing to restore political trade and transport links as a serious our hideouts reports. for months says been speculation that the blockades of katsav by its neighbors could be nearing an end the foreign minister announced at the munich security council that talks to ease detention came to an end last month in 2017 saudi arabia the u.a.e. behind and egypt cut all diplomatic and economic ties with cats we are open to any genuine intention to resolve this problem and we have been we demonstrated this in fact when there was an opening. here and november and of last year. and unfortunately these efforts didn't succeed and spears suspended at the beginning of january but. remain at the same position that we are often the 4 blockading countries accused katz of supporting terrorism which it's repeatedly tonight it's

also rejected a list of 13 demands which include closing a turkish military base downgrading ties with iran and shutting down the al-jazeera media network. in december cats all since its highest representation since the blockade then prime ministership. then any to the annual gulf cooperation council summit in saudi arabia at the time capsule had said they'd been positive talks with saudi leaders his attendance came after the national football teams of saudi behind and the u.a.e. all took part in the arabian gulf cup in cats on november reversing an earlier decision not to participate. katz all is home to the largest u.s. military base in the middle east and gulf region the us has called on its gulf allies to end the feud fearing it might undermine. efforts to contain will to seize iran's growing influence in the region normally the united states should have been involved in pressing all the countries involved. saudi arabia the

u.a.e. bahrain egypt and qatar to come to some kind of detente we have very very extensive relationships with all 4 of these governments all 5 of these governments and really it's a failure of u.s. diplomacy 3 years after the blockade began the 6 nation regional bloc is still struggling for unity it's not a hyena it's al jazeera the ha. in india there been protests over a supreme court ruling that says that states are no longer bound to reserve job promotions for the so-called lower costs and other tribes india correspondent elizabeth for autumn spoke to some of those protesters in new delhi. people have gathered here in the center of the indian capital new delhi to protest against the supreme court's ruling on friday that affirmative action in government jobs and promotions is not

a fundamental right while the various groups and political parties have spoken out against the ruling they say that the indian constitution guarantees affirmative action for the most socially disadvantaged groups now these reservations of quotas as they're known here i've given to cost based groups made to a group called the ballots and also to tribes people to rectify historical wrongs perpetrated by the hindu religions caste hierarchy. trick by the money by the forces of. so we are here with this simple slogan 1st save constitution save the sea of citizenship save constitution to see here for. the obvious respect we need to believe as i believe. this protest has been created by a very popular man by the name of chandra shaker as that who is a leader of the community he's asked people to march from here to the indian parliament but there is

a large police presence are there to stop people from reaching parliament has also asked politicians belonging to the costs and tribes to ask the indian government to nullify the supreme court's verdict. las vegas's when democratic party candidates for the white house hoping to find political fortune they include former front runner vice president joe biden who's fallen behind in the race to replace donald trump contenders of campaigning in the ahead of next weekend's nominating contests early voting for the caucuses began on saturday. river president who owned by the n.r.a. where the president's own by the gunman a fracture and i promise you. president not president to live a breath and me i'm going to do everything i can to go after those governments. in order to win in november we're going to have to have strong support from the african-american community the latino community the asian community and the native

american community we cannot take these communities for granted anymore. that danger is real our democracy hangs in the balance we can get 10 that we can back up or we can get in the fight me i'm in the fight well they had nevada caucuses also the 1st test of candidates a pail of a state with a more diverse population i was serious i have pretends he was from washington. it's about a 30 percent latino population here 9 percent african-american or an 8 percent asian american that might help explain some of the figures we're looking out in the 1st poll we've had for ages from from nevada but the soul is in the lead 25 percent he has a really strong latino base in nevada and now actually by the way that that leave that he has right now does that is reflected in the national polls we're going to

last national poll we had on thursday he had a double digit lead over joe biden he was at 29 percent joe biden at 19 percent but he sounds looking very good at the moment joe biden 18 percent in nevada he has to do well now after his disastrous performance in new hampshire and iowa where he's going to continue to say that he's the electable one he has to start winning or at least vaguely doing well in elections he's hoping that the african-american base that he's always hoped for will come out with as evidence in the polls that even that is declining now as what we were told in the pose of the main reason why the african-american community is. coalescing around it is you know maybe they do prefer other policies from someone else but they feel that he can beat trump but if that is the priority and if you call and win elections it's not good for elizabeth warren for 13 percent told in style and now this is the really interesting one as well make or break for him perhaps as well so we haven't heard off much before. is

another 1000000000 a businessman and his pitch is i can beat trump because i can be the sort of centrist than and i can beat him on his own on his own ground and so on he's put huge amounts of money in nevada if he doesn't do well here he's probably going to be out of it and then peter amy close 10 percent each this is their opportunity these are on the on the rise of the democratic party is their opportunity to perhaps or that they have any support whatsoever amongst ethnic minorities because certainly if they don't then it doesn't look good for them moving forward certainly the evidence right now is that they have minimal support amongst the democrats diverse base. peter matthews is a professor of political science at cypress college she says that it's do or die for biden joe biden that was his major base of support the argument mary he has to hold on to them and yet their main quest was they want someone who can be trump and yet joe biden has not won a primary yet or a caucus and thus putting a dent in his african support because you know they are having doubts about him

being able to win that's a real problem it's a do or a contest right now not the counting of the as it should be just fine in the vatican as it was 4 years ago because of the process and procedure and i believe it will be this kind of problem like in iowa and so very exciting to see what will happen with these contenders that the numbers are shifting so quickly and bernie has a pretty solid lead over here and we'll see if you can hang on to it though that's the real thing he's done no major outreach toward the latino voters in the african-american voters much more than 2016 and that is paid off actually in latino voters want the issues that he's for universal's you know single payer medicare for all that appeals to the because many of them are not insured or fully insured the same thing with education tuitions for education is very good for all working class people and many of them are in the working class as sort of the african-american people who need to have as are all the other people working class whites they want to have guaranteed medicare for all and also tuition free education sound is offering that and seems to me that's really attracting a lot of people. well it's kind of weather update storm dennis is being

a right old menace in parts of northwestern europe his meteorologist rob mccallum it's still a small yes on his way out of the u.k. at least now that is when the u.k. not as strong as last weekend and flooding was always the risk and that's now been realized in south wales particular pontypridd where unfortunately rescues events take place but as you can see this quite a depth of water here start the end of it when the rain has almost stopped for the clearly more rain going to come out of the hills and into the rivers that is also $240.00 or flood warnings throughout the u.k. from scotland down to the south coast of england a few of them still severe flood warnings but the storm itself though still producing pretty strong winds is moving into northern france where they're going to have similar problems i have to tell you but they're not quite as serious take it quite as seriously i have to say don't lament any way surfing or want sudden a break or 2 when the winds are that taken away from the other side and of course sure it was a good thing for me but there it is this is the position for the rest of today is

going to drive rain and strong winds across the low countries and scandinavia a byproduct of this sort of reflects the winter throughout europe is the temperature distribution is particularly warm in france germany belgium and poland as temperatures into the middle teens i remind you what data says we're into late february the 16th it should be in single figures with 10 degrees above average but i have to say much of the winter has been this ridiculously will agree. rob many thanks indeed come here all the news. i. was getting away with in mexico demonstrators say the epidemic of violence against women must be stopped plus. at that point in queensland when millions of tonnes of all the shit out of us trying to. find out why some communities remain divided. and climate change. i would support

the makings of a neo fascist mold international filmmakers and world class journalists bringing programs to inspire you. on al-jazeera. hello again adrian for going to hear but the news from out 0 of the headlines doctors in china reporting a slowdown in the number of new cases of parana virus for the 1st day in a row but the world health organization chief says it's impossible to predict which direction the epidemic will take taiwan has now reported its 1st deaths from the outbreak. the u.n. envoy to libya says the weapons and bongo there has become

a joke and has to moderate that those who preach should be held to account the comments come off to foreign ministers from around a dozen countries met on the sidelines of a security summit to discuss libya's culture. and sudan's ousted president obama the shares appeared in court for a hearing on war crimes allegations in the darfur region a conflict that began in 2003 when minority rebels rose up against the shias government. 3 missiles have landed near the u.s. embassy in the iraqi capital baghdad a 4th facade exploded close to the office of the popular mobilization forces a paramilitary group backed by iran no casualties have been reported. washington's top diplomat has arrived in senegal at the start of a 4 country whistle stop tour of africa the us secretary of state by compare has already warned of what he called china's dangerous influence on the african continent like the player said the chinese investment feeds corruption on the minds

the rule of law but not everyone sees it that way as out zeros the close hock reports now from some of those capital dhaka. in the trade war between the united states and china a small garment factory in west africa sees an opportunity chinese owned but made in senegal 200000 sport suits have been shipped to the united states for sale in the wal-mart supermarket chain after delivering the goods a month before scheduled the senegalese workers have been sent home to wait for the next order of the loss of them we have good trade deals in place to us we can export to the u.s. treaty free and best way to tracking chinese investors to come here in senegal and more generally to africa also it takes us 14 days from dakar by ship to get goods to the us compared to shanghai where it takes 2 months chinese investors have found in african countries a way to avoid u.s. trade tariffs imposed on goods made in china in the past 20 years china loaned 180000000000 dollars to african countries including senegal some of the money's

being spent on building john you know joe a new city on the outskirts of the capital where chinese manufacturing companies are setting up operations in general u.s. secretary of state might pump warned against chinese investment in africa. it's tempting to accept easy money from places like try there's a better alternative we all know it and we can all achieve it together. western firms american firms operate according to values proven to produce good deals and quality work bumppo is trying to change the perception that the world's leading superpower has no clear strategy for a continent that's home to over a 1000000000 people namby is health system isn't donald trump has shown little interest in africa so far trump is the 1st president since ronald reagan not to have visited the continent despite strong historic and economic ties compare this with his predecessor barack obama who's visited senegal twice and in fact on this road where tens of thousands of people lined up chanting the name of the united

states president now for mike pompei oh look at it now those special arrangement he's being received like any other foreign minister and that's because for many senegalese and many africans across the continent america's influence on the region is waning. it's 2 years since the white house and now it's a pullout of u.s. troops from the saheli region of west africa where armed groups are attacking regularly and gaining ground in african states will find themselves weakened in the face of armed groups like the islamic state or boko haram who are regrouping in the hell region and soul we are seeing russia and china trying to take position the us administration is sending mixed signals open for business but close for many africans washington is imposing a travel ban later this month on 4 african nations amongst the confusion fast growing economies such as senegal regard china as a more reliable partner nicholas hawke al-jazeera to car. so just how big

a role does china play across the african continent or beijing supposed washington as africa's largest trading partner more than a decade ago that relationship is worth around $200000000000.00 a year in trade according to china's ministry of commerce they doing is also financing power plants roads and other infrastructure projects and to get billions in loads each year as a governments and states densities across the continent that's made china africa's largest debt holder the u.s. is one of chinese debt traps that could see countries give up oil minerals and land rights if they don't pay off the loans that speak to political analyst and commentator on african affairs joseph chain of is with us live from london good tell you with us joseph what do you make of mike compares comments that china's a dangerous influence on the african continent. and that's sort of the rich if there is a dangerous interest then we can ask many questions who else is not you know i

think it is a crime we. rather unfortunate rather almost hypocritical isn't it. talks about easy money no for the chinese when it's not easy money is but i think generally my course on would be that the u.s. is realizing that. they were playing games with africa but china came in and came in came in very fairly big chad it comes with the minimum if any conditionalities and the reality is that china may beat the u.s. and other nations on the african continent my biggest cause on the eve of the u.s. president barack obama for president that is sayed africa's biggest challenge. a lot of institutions how do we on the continent how a strong strong institutions of government that arrest was an accountable i think china would have been a very huge opportunity for the continent particularly in the areas where chinese are the moment and that is investment in infrastructure for which the continent is

at a huge deficit the issue is chinese money us money in the in the profit motive and profit driven market today who provides you with the best deal i think that's the issue the issue then is that in the absence of basically abolishing octave amounts african leaders the americans can actually shower play the moment unmade the hope that some of their allies will keep quiet but the pump does have a point doesn't he when he when he talks about corruption in africa undermining the rule of law as to whether china is responsible for that i suppose is debatable. all of this very true except that corruption in africa is not about corrupt deals with africa with the chinese companies is rather a general question of pattern age and us a lot of institutions engine western companies have covered some of them have been implicated major corruption scandals only after and partnered with african

governments i think that's the issue i don't really think that the u.s. can tell africa that american companies without detail and this that will begin the ones when it comes to the continent yes that is because on about the quality of chinese investment beyond infrastructure and the manner in which and these companies and in fact some of their bus and rail on offer on the continent and treat and deal with africans i think that's the major course none of us and region some few pieces on this particular matter but generally i think africa is for grabs unfortunately for me as an african my course on is whether or not the opportunities that china was or the opportunities that now will in mind as a result of this apart and competition is one in which african governments and african. economic leaders able to strategically peak and make the best deal for ordinary people and what about this issue of debt. pompei or calls. it a chinese death trap i mean there are other countries in the world who have allowed

have taken chinese investment and found that they've lost control of. that infrastructure ports for example in sri lanka is one which china has got control of it because they couldn't repay the debt. that's very real i think that's a very and is very true just out of a decade ago. 2000 came to the rescue of many african governments because of lack of of institutional systems and because of for corruption and lack of accountability accountable under what kind of governments many of which governments in africa anyway have been fueled and supported by the us until today you know we have a box seeming to the to the same spot and on that one i think china might be able to have it much more freer hand than the west at least in the u.s. and in london you can walk in the streets and then the voters able to influence the governments to simply say that look you know maybe less of a deadly i don't know which way to go for china i think they're going to be going to africa that we're beginning to build a sufficient
