and. more than 90 fatalities in the last 24 hours at the epicenter of china's corona virus outbreak the death toll jumps to above 1900. a questionable evacuation over a dozen americans infected with corona virus are allowed to travel with hundreds of healthy passengers. blown down jordan this is down to 0 live from doha are also coming up. the european union says it will try to enforce an arms embargo in libya with c.n.n. patrols. at least 4 people have died in the u.k. of the 2 storms caused some of the worst flooding in 40 years.

the number of people who died in china's coronavirus outbreak has now surpassed 1800 new figures released by health officials say 98 people have died in the last 24 hours in china mainly in her bay province that's the epicenter of the epidemic more than $800.00 new cases were detected there on monday well beijing has taken some drastic steps to contain the virus has deployed more medics from the army to for the 1st time in recent history the ruling communist party is considering delaying its annual congress its biggest political gathering well the world health organization says according to new data the china coronavirus known as call it 19 is less deadly than sars but it's more infectious. the data also appeared to show

a decline in new cases this trend must be interpreted very cautiously trends going change as new populations are affected it's too early to tell if this report the decline will continue every scenario is still on the table but it also appears that quoted 19 is not as deadly as a quarter an hour viruses including service and murders more than 80 percent of patients have mild disease and will recover well katrina you joins us live now from beijing katrina so the death toll is now past 800 just talk us through some of the latest steps chinese officials have taken to control the virus. well the timing of this is very much seems like the their ability to control this outbreak hinges on their ability to restrict and monitor the movement of hundreds of millions of people and this at that is especially concentrated in the ground 0

the epicenter of this outbreak and we've just been reading some state media reports that have been saying that this week officials there have begun this mass mobilization effort so we know some 30000 government officials communist party members and other neighborhood workers have been mobilized to help fight the outbreak this week it seems that undertaking this massive task of basically noting down the whereabouts and health status of every resident in city now we know usually there about 11000000 people who live in one hand about half of those people the government says have been have left the city before the lockdown so we're still looking at about 5 to 6000000 people that they're trying to track down and record the status of so what people are doing is at every level of government neighborhoods they're going and they're knocking on every door they're even going so far as to check the electric meter tricity meter at apartments to make sure that if somebody is living there they know about it knocking on every door making phone

calls using social media using surveillance systems to try to find out where every person is and making sure basically that every case of corona virus is reported and said to a hospital or a center for treatment so that's just one example of what the government are doing the lengths that they're going to some very heavy handed measures and it's not just in a province. of china different cities have different restrictions in place for example many cities you cannot enter the city if you're not a resident if you cannot prove that you live there. you don't have or you work they will simply not allowed inside and in hung joe for example they've had this regulation that if you go to a pharmacy they are not allowed to sell you cold and flu medicine instead they must point you in the direction of a hospital so you. this is sort of i guess to make sure that people are going to the hospital if they have any symptoms but of course that also raises a question as to whether these heavy handed measures are instead actually just creating fear and making people stay indoors more than anything but we are seeing

these kind of restrictions and the government does seem to be convinced that these kind of measures are the the ones that will be crucial in fighting the corona virus outbreak all right to continue there in beijing katrina thank you well some conference on moving quickly to evacuate their citizens from china's who by province other countries like pakistan or uganda not dylan as a ugandan student stranded in the city she spoke to my colleague come on santa maria we are allowed to move out of apartments once a week you need to get permission from. landlady before you can move out all the best years of being still go if you're not allowed to go on campus if you don't stay on campus so we currently look to know how this is even to look downstairs in the book up means i mean buildings it's difficult

for us to be in goes all the time but none of my friends are effected well look who we're just days a little you know apartments which is. staying in goes all alone all the time but you know that's what we have to do stick so now tell me about efforts to get out as we pointed out there are governments that have repatch reacted the citizens and your government the uganda government is one that hasn't what sort of contact have you had with anyone representing the ugandan government. we have gone through . the embassy they are going to never see it as a sort of being brought up in that podium and in uganda and all that means those are aware of what's going on and they're well we're praying for it booky ration but we say they're kind of ok wait that's because they don't think they are able to contain the virus in case it broke out in uganda so the decided to send us money but money is not really what we need i know the other hand is that they were able

to quarantine the other ministers who came from china and went to uganda so get your books pointing to. the i mean he still is but i don't understand why they don't do the same thing for us the student gets us out of here they can still pointing to us so we went up to the meanest so and they know about this situation and how does it make us sorry this sounds like a stupid question how does it make you feel when you see other foreign nationals who have governments who are helping their citizens honestly makes me angry makes new feel like they don't matter to the country locally our lives don't matter they don't care. it's not actually the best decision and if you look at the evacuation going still being made it and it's best we're preventing that is then having them to treat us later leaf we get the. some u.s. citizens who were evacuated from

a cruise ship quarantine in japan where already carrying the corona virus in the airlifted back home they were part of a much bigger group that were on 2 flights the symptoms only appeared as i boarded the planes. not. at all in the norm for the u.s. government's original plan had been to keep off the planes anyone suspected of or known to be carrying the coronavirus but that's not how things turned out the state department says all 338 americans evacuated from the diamond princess cruise ship had appeared healthy when they disembarked but during the 40 minute bus ride to the 2 awaiting cargo planes the japanese health ministry called with news that 14 passengers had tested positive for corona virus american officials then decided to allow those passengers to continue with the evacuation isolating them behind white curtains near the plane's tails other passengers then boarded the route we're down

here where we're on in the morning there and after that if we go through pretty miserable where there's massive crowds and everybody had to go the bathroom on the bus was good revising their private 5 hours a week to get off for a. crazy crazy while on the buses the infected and apparently healthy passengers had mixed given that they were still on a learning curve while iris i think u.s. public health missions in the code recognizing that the alternative leaving them on a ship was not. by the time they landed in california and texas 5 apparently healthy passengers had developed infection symptoms now all the evacuees are in coron teen with 13 high risk cases transported to the university of nebraska medical center. well there's been no documentation that came with them so

everything has been sort of passed along and passed along you know and they've had a very long journey so i think we're not going to make any assumptions about anything that's passed along virtually we're going to go ahead and just test everybody by the government's numbers 5 of the evacuees who tested positive in japan are being treated at undisclosed hospitals near military bases meanwhile a number of americans still remain aboard the diamond princess in japan they had turned down the offer to evacuate and instead hope to complete their corn teen on board the ship the news now that 14 infected people on the flight with everyone else has just confirmed to us that they were really providing a safe method of transportation back to the united states the u.s. state department has completed a half dozen evacuation flights from asia since the corona virus outbreak began those other evacuations happened as planned but this latest incident draws scrutiny to the u.s.

government's response and nearly double the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the u.s. overnight hi joe castro al-jazeera washington the european union is to launch new c.n.n. app patrols in the eastern mediterranean to try and stop more weapons reaching libya's warring sides it marks a major breakthrough after weeks of negotiations diplomatic editor james bays reports now from geneva the foreign ministers of the european union meeting in brussels have decided in principle to start monitoring illegal arms flows to libya however they've also actually cancelled an already mandated e.u. mission operations fear that you still have ships in the mediterranean from 2015 to deter migrants until the naval vessels were withdrawn as a result of a tally in prussia. instead of retard skiing that help aeration they now have to set up a new naval and air mission which may even need fresh u.n.

security council authorization it could all take months to find some of the international arms embargo isn't the only major problem affecting peace efforts in libya in the coming hours talks will resume here at the u.n. in geneva between 5 representatives of the internationally recognized government in tripoli and 5 from general have to decide to try and get a cease fire can you give us a readout of how they went the government's representative at the u.n. in new york libyan ambassador sunny told me the previous round of talks had been far from easy there's a lot of issues that we don't need and together but there are some parts that as mentioned from the u.n. led process that could be a breakthrough but i'm still. have to be cautious because we noticed that there are certain elements that we look into in terms of the return of i.d.p.'s the area and

where the withdrawal areas are these are things that are still and who have discussions and are not clear yet at the munich security conference the u.n. is except the special representative of libya made it clear if they can silence the guns the plan is for wider political talks in just over a week's time james pays geneva and the un's humanitarian coordinator for libya says the latest diplomatic push to end the conflict well amount to nothing unless the international community names and shames countries were helping to prolong the fighting. the forces loyal to general have to and generally have their insults are supported by the united arab emirates by russia or at least private russian companies as is claimed by egypt and also by other countries and less we start naming and shaming we will have the

resolutions but the reality on the ground will remain appalling is specially for civilians and particularly for children and for women and for people who just want to go about their daily life because they have done absolutely no wrong except being libyan in their country there's been heavy fighting between saudi troops and tribal forces in yemen's al mara province in the east it happened near the armani border saudi troops attempted to storm the town of shannon but have been repelled attack helicopters and ahmed vehicles were deployed as part of the assault this region of yemen has largely escaped the worst of the fighting that's on gov the rest of the country since 2015 or something humvees the editor in chief of the international interest magazine he says the saudis are in a difficult position with yemeni tribes not going against them. they would have to understand the context in which these clashes are taking place it seems that there have been increasing discontent has been increasing discontent in southern yemen that the plan now from the u.a.e.

in particular is to seize the pervert's is to back the separatist movement in the south is in order to expand this maritime policy that extends on the coast of east africa early the way to the mediterranean and it believes that it's an convince saudi arabia to abandon this idea of restoring yemen as one nation by essentially bribing it with having a stake in building a pipeline that goes in the vicinity near the border of arm and through of those posts and it seems that the yemenis in this area have been complaining for some time saying we do not want to can only our power you came here to help us to restore the international recognized government stop trying to centrally steal our resources in the midst of this conflict so these clashes are taking place in this context we should remember that the tribes who are purportedly involved in these clashes with saudi arabia were only a few days ago part of keeping representatives of the international recognized government safe from any potential kidnapping and the like to see them today attacked by saudi arabia say that they ambushed

a saudi convoy suggests that the discontent is reaching a very serious level for saudi and the u.a.e. if we talk about how these clashes might change things these clashes would only add to the antagonism towards saudi bombardment in other words it would increase the pressure on the saudis to start growing for that negotiated solution and this is significant because in the past it's been the goofy's who have been the ones who have refused that negotiated settlement the whole of these have believed in the military victory to keep to keep the cities and force the entire community to recognize them but if suddenly the southerners turn on saudi arabia if the tribes start turning on saudi arabia saudi arabia will slowly and very realistically see itself being pushed more further and further into a corner and having to cede conditions to the 7 separatists and the forces. time for a short break here and al-jazeera when we come back from manufacturing to shipping we'll tell you about the economic impact of the corona virus outbreak. moscow's eyes in the sky we take a closer look at the face recognition system broken thing is

supply chains could be hit that could eventually have a knock on effect on the availability of goods around the world well robert scott is from the economic policy institute he says the economic impact of coronavirus it's significant but won't be felt in the long. well i think the economic impact is certainly been the strongest within china itself for example them announced today that they're going to delay the annual auto show in beijing this is a big disruption and it reflects the fact that industries that have big complex supply chains like us are no beals and electronics with thousands of parts going to each of those kinds of products and i phones and computers and cars are very vulnerable to supply chain disruptions and i think this could have an impact but i don't think it's going to extend beyond perhaps one or 2 quarters. i've looked at some of the previous major epidemics and environment was asters and the evidence is
