a quarantine cruise ship in japan as hundreds of passengers are finally allowed off . american to be bullied or influenced by anybody and the u.s. attorney general is reported to be considering quitting his job as anger grows over the president's attacks on judges and prosecutors. on his 4 titleholders a little full face an uncertain future in this season's champions league liverpool beats in spain both let's go madrid in the 1st leg of the last 16 tie. now the united nations says it's hoping to resume talks aimed at reaching a ceasefire in libya the internationally recognized government suspended involvement in the discussions in geneva after the port of tripoli was attacked at least 3 people were killed on tuesday when rockets were fired by forces of. khalifa

haftar now the port is the main entry point for supplies into libya have to us forces say their target was an arms depor tripoli's government is now insisting that the talks can continue until the well to firmly responds to what it calls have to violations have to has since met with russia's defense minister sergei show who well russia says the pedigreed that a political solution is the only option for libya well enough whatever wahid is standing by for us in the libyan capital tripoli but 1st let's go to a different james bays who is in geneva where do we go from here how these peace talks going to get restarted if at all. well the u.n. has been trying to pick up the pieces of this peace process in the last few hours off that late night announcement by the internationally recognized government the g.n.a.t. that they were going to pull out of the process remember they gathered here they say in good faith. choose day and sat down with the other side with represents is

the general have to and as they were meeting the rocket attacks starseeds all newport of tripoli i have to say that the delegation from the g m a although they said they were pulling out have stayed in geneva we believe there may well have been the meeting between them and the u.n. special representative gets on salami and about an hour ago his office put out a statement saying they were hoping to restart the the talks that have been stalled and have been started this morning because of this situation that followed a late night statement in which the u.n. said the attacks on the port of tripoli were deplorable but it is a confused picture we've also heard fresh news from tripoli saying that they still aren't sure that they will rejoin the talks so not clear but both delegations are remain in geneva the u.n. working very hard on my suspect mr salami is not just speaking to the delegations

he's also trying to engage international actors in this because remember there is a resolution last week from the u.n. security council pushing this process and only a couple of days ago in munich foreign ministers from all the key international players were saying that this was the way for with these talks and that included countries that is supportive of both sides in the libyan conflict ok outs of quiet meetings going on then there was this meeting in moscow between have to and the russian defense minister and what if anything came out of that. well i think that's interesting because clearly gen half was in moscow and i don't think he travel to moscow of. the overnight problems and breakdown of the talks that was of c. pre-planned suggesting perhaps that he's not fully in control of the situation of use out of the country maybe kimonos on the ground and not following his orders

that is an area that will have to explore but what is clear from the words coming out of the russians both in moscow and at the u.n. security council in new york is the russians at least in their words are saying they fully support even now this process and ceasefire talks must continue if what they're saying publicly is what they're telling general have to privately that he may well have got a little bit of a scolding to be told to stop and the attacks and get back to the table here in geneva james bay is there for us live from geneva thank you very much james well let's now go to tripoli where our correspondent up i had joins us live with all the latest developments what this hole to negotiations al is all of this being viewed in 70. well the still a kind of frustration especially among civilians and the government of national accord is partly blaming the international community as it sours that.

the bad prime minister. sad told reporters today as he was touring in the targeted seaport there must be a strong signal from international players who are trying to talk to us as you can see here that the conflict is intensifying and the regional backers backing both warring factions are also. a strong support to their local allies turkey the president of egypt of the van stated that they will continue supporting the. government to government of face of he also stated that the european union has no right to make decisions concerning libya so now the government of national accord here in tripoli is not very hopeful louis

gardening get resuming the peace talks despite the fact that the united nations support the mission in libya is still hopeful that this peace process will work out but the situation on the ground is not at legg that especially with the have to his forces continue targeting get his attention as you know that the government of national court has set forward a prerequisite to continue talks that have to the forces must hold hostilities or stop targeting the state facilities that is the areas this is as a prerequisite for the government to resume the peaceful talks or the peace talks in geneva are not going to go by had there for us on the ground in tripoli thank you matt. now turkey's president is warning that an operation into northern syria could be launched imminently resupply to one once government troops to withdraw behind military positions in the province and he says turkey's demands haven't been

met during recent talks with russia the kremlin says it's strongly opposed to any turkish military operation the syrian government is currently conducting an offensive to retake the last rebel held areas while taki says it's planning to establish a safe zone in northern syria well let's go live now to house and had say in turkey for us how some you've already seen so much suffering there from civilians who are heading for the border how likely and how imminent is this offensive. what it could be just about sort of to a time before before before there's an agreement if there's no agreement that i think the chance of that an outright war between syria and turkey was significantly increased the article 15 now is about syria no from a turkish perspective the latest advance of the syrian army is a violation of the terms of the agreement that was signed between russia turkey and iran in 2018 and that established save zones in its live

that's violation explains from the turkish perspective the need for them to send more troops on the ground to monitor the situation but ultimately to prevent president bashar assad from moving forward towards it now they haven't seen any indication that syrian army is going to hold the offensive and this explains why president as if they. had delivered some of the strongest rebuke so far to the syrians and to the russians about the situation it live let's listen to what he had to say. to you. but on the subject of it turkey has made all preparations to carry out its own operational plans but as with every military operation on this subject i'll say we could enter it suddenly one not yet we're more clearly the operation in libya is imminent to the regime and those who encourage not having understood our determination on the subject we will not leave

it lip we spoke to mr trump on saturday and i shared with him our findings we have no intention of blatantly shouldering the burden that regional developments will put on our country we are determined to turn it into a secure place both for turkey and for the region's people at any cost. that's the turkish perspective now we comes to russia and syrian government they say something different they say basically that groups like the show which is the most organized and powerful alliance of rebel groups operating in libya is a terrorist organization and therefore is excluded from the ceasefire agreement syrian army has also been saying that its offensive will continue until it live which is the last stronghold of the rebels in syria falls back into the control of the syrian government the next coming days there's an ultimatum that has been put forth by the turkish government which is the end of february by the end of february if there is no agreement about

a new ceasefire and about the demilitarized zone so the chances of a military confrontation will was significantly increase and this is something that could just further compound exacerbate this humanitarian situation that has been unfolding in the northern part of the country. across all those developments for us from turkey thank you. well there's plenty more ahead here on this news hour including they say they're on a mission from god but they're peddling drugs we investigate the evangelical traffickers of rio de janeiro. choosing between a dynasty more than 50 years old or a new leader people in tokyo get ready to fight. and unfortunately losing the 10 to tour action for the newly crowned astray and i think champion. now u.s. attorney general william ball is reportedly considering stepping down i have

a conflict with president donald trump the justice department has locked in a dispute with an association of judges over the handling of the sentencing of transform advisor white house correspondent candy how it has the story. less than 2 weeks after being acquitted by the u.s. senate of abusing his presidential powers don't. trump is once again facing similar accusations as he fights his own department of justice somebody has to stick up for the people trump is being criticized for intervening in a case involving close friend and political ally roger stone convicted last year of lying to a congressional committee investigating whether trost political campaign colluded with russia federal prosecutors recommended stone go to jail for at least 7 years trump tweeted the recommendation was a miscarriage of justice that same day his attorney general william barr downgraded the recommendation prompting for federal lawyers to quit the case complicating

things further bar took the unusual step of admitting publicly the trump's tweets don't help if i do make his job harder i do agree with that i think that's true now as trump defends bar and lashes out at federal judges and prosecutors a group representing the judges is accusing trump of overstepping the legal boundaries of the presidency with unprecedented involvement in politically sensitive judicial cases their actions trump defense i'm allowed to be totally and i'm actually i guess the chief law enforcement officer of the country but i've chosen not to be involved in reality it is the attorney general that is the chief law enforcement officer in the u.s. not the president but that hasn't stopped trump from undoing other sentences through a series of pardons for high profile individuals including convicted financier michael milken former new york city police commissioner bernard kerik and even

former democratic illinois governor rod blagojevich convicted for trying to sell former president barack obama's vacant senate seat once obama took office and president says he may continue to try and influence the legal case involving his friend roger staubach. around stone sentencing is set for thursday and trump hasn't ruled out pardoning kim kimberly help at al-jazeera the white house. joins us now live from washington d.c. patty there was initially some speculation about whether bob's comments about trump a genuine or if it was about trying to emphasize the independence of the justice department but now it seems there is a real rift developing now if this is pretty classic washington so we saw barr getting a lot of heat we saw 2000 members former members of the justice department writing the letter saying he needs to resign there were people in congress saying he needs to be impeached because this is really an unprecedented move that he is so directly

helping the president of the united states to democrats they're saying he's forgetting that he's actually the chief law enforcement officer of the united states and acting more like a personal attorney let's not forget this is not the 1st incident where william bars integrity has been called into question when it comes to serving the president remember special counsel robert muller he submitted his report to bill barr and then barr put out a statement basically what he said was a summary saying the president didn't commit any crimes and then he let the moeller reports basically sit in a shelf for about 3 weeks and then he came out in the motor report was really different from what bart initially said it was so democrats have been pretty harsh about bars integrity threw out his tenure and so what is happening now is you're seeing him send a message to the president through the press he already did it once on television now he's doing it through the washington post saying that he might resign here's what he had to say though when he was interviewed about the roger stone case let's

listen. as i said during my confirmation i came in to serve as attorney general and i'm not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody and i said it and whether it's congress newspaper editorial boards or the president i'm going to do what i think is right i cannot do my job here at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me well given all of this how do you what are you hearing from the white house is this likely to change any behavior at all it was very strange this is a president who when anyone criticizes him no matter who they are he lashes back and you saw in kimberly story there the president was saying very nice things about bar that he has confidence in him that he does make his job harder that is a very unusual admission from the president so we saw this so far took these actions the president tweeted are did an interview the president continued to tweet

now he's sending the message through the washington post that he might go in keep in mind this is a president who hasn't seen a lot of his cabinet members quit he's fired up plenty of them but they don't tend to quit and we know this is a position that is very important to president trump he has said that we need somebody who can be his protector in that position so this is bar using that through the media to send the message the president that he has his limits now will the president hear him this way when he hasn't heard him all the other way as well we'll have to keep our eyes on twitter and see what he has to say about that and just that. there for us in washington d.c. thanks betty. now after weeks trapped in quarantine on a cruise ship in japan hundreds of passengers have now been able to leave but the corona virus is still spreading around the diamond princess increasing concerns for the hundreds hundreds who remain on board now another 79 cases have been confirmed on tuesday and it's all raising questions about how effective the quarantine was in the 1st place robert bride reports from yokohama. this was the day all of the

passengers and crew on the diamond princess have been waiting for the start of disembarkation after 14 days of quarantine people who have tested negative for the corona virus were allowed to leave yokohama support in a stream of vehicles through wednesday some sharing their experiences on social media continuing journeys that they had expected to complete weeks ago the spread of infection through the ship during the quarantine sickening hundreds more people has raise serious concerns here and internationally that's been made worse by an infectious disease expert taking to social media to describe his visit to belowdecks i never had a fear of getting infection myself for. a south. because i know how to protect

myself but inside prisons diamond ever thought scared i was scared of getting caught between 19 because there was no way to tell where the virus the no green zone not red zone everywhere could have virus and everybody was not careful about it there was no single professional infection control person in the ship. the japanese government insists it's happy with the way the quarantine has been handled. it's going. since february 5 we've taken thora action to prevent infection such as asking passengers to stay in their rooms and reduce risk to the entire ship we conducted small tests of the earliest time for priority passengers such as those who are symptomatic and the elderly and if necessary taken them to medical facilities we are taking measures with utmost consideration for the health

of passengers and crew members. even so health officials in japan will continue to monitor its citizens who were on board. but for many passengers even finally getting off the ship doesn't mean the end of their journey countries like the united states and australia are telling their citizens to wait another 2 weeks before returning home or face another stretching quarantine if they go back now. the whole disembarkation process is expected to take several days with those infected being transferred to medical facilities on shore the occasional wailed of ambulance sirens a reminder that this outbreak is making even more people seriously rob look bright al-jazeera yokohama japan well china's government has now offered incentives to health workers to encourage them to work in the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak the government has been struggling to contain the spread of the illness

and restrictions on movement are being tightened katrina you reports from beijing cleared at the new coronavirus these blood donors are hoping to contribute to a cure that plasma antibodies that could help patients who are seriously ill their identities have been concealed to avoid them suffering any stigma when they return to their communities because my blood may help more patients to be here and a critical conditions go home and reunite families as i did. china's military has said more supplies and medical staff equal bay to help fight the outbreak there are almost 12000 critically sick patients in the province alone in addition to salary bonuses the government has announced new incentives for health workers the children of frontline health workers restores 10 extra points in the high school exams younger children are given preferential access to public kindergartens and those

who die fighting the outbreak given rational miters status meaning their family allowances and benefits after they pass away tough measures have been imposed to protect the healthy tens of millions of people have been restricted from leaving their homes and have to rely on local teams to deliver food the world health organization says controls on movement have helped to contain the outbreak measure on the movement restriction of delayed. the dissemination of the outbreak of 2 or 3 days within china and and few weeks outside china to 3 weeks so based on these then choose the measure if well implemented could have an impact on the propagation of the restrictions have brought much of china to a standstill but some 3 just starting to resume production some analysts say the outbreak will slow china's growth by up to 2 percentage points this quarter but it's still too early to count the longer term economic cost of

a coronavirus katrina you al-jazeera beijing or let's go live now to adrian brown who's in hong kong about developments there and also on the mainland where we're now hearing reports of china expelling 3 wall street journal reporters it and we've been talking a lot about how the chinese government is trying to control this narrative is this a crackdown. well i think it's possibly a warning shot to other western news organizations operating in china i can't recall a time recently when so many journalists from one organization have been expelled from china they seem to be paying the price for an article that appeared on the opinion page of the wall street journal recently under the headline china is the real sick man of asia well that i think was clearly a red rag to a bull for the officials that monitor the western media in china and as

a result the foreign ministry on wednesday afternoon addressed journalists and said that the article in their view was racist and denigrated china's efforts trying to contain the virus now the phrase no sick man china the sick man of asia references i think a period in the late 19th and early 20th century when china was often referred to as the sick man of the stage or this was a period when china was riven by internal division war and what it was forced to sign a number of what it saw as humiliating treaties like the one that forced it to hand over hong kong to britain so it's a very sensitive subject but we also have to see it in the context of what happened 24 hours earlier when the trumpet ministration announced it was going to tighten restrictions on 5 chinese news organizations operating in the united states they now have to seek approval when they want to buy property and also submit the names

of all their employees to the state department so i think we have to see it possibly in that light as well or very sensitive at my age and i'm also saying that even as the number of new infections in china is dropping seemingly we're also hearing about more deaths in hong kong. yes we had one more death in hong kong that was announced on wednesday this was a 70 year old man he had an underlying condition reportedly diabetes another man who died 2 weeks ago also had an underlying condition and that's been a sort of common theme of the deaths we've seen so far in hong kong and also on the mainland the number of deaths in the mainland though is beginning to fall as is the rate of infection now also in hong kong the government has announced tonight wednesday that it's sending an aircraft to japan to bring back more than 50 home kong citizens who've been on that cruise liner the diamond princess there are 3

$150.00 hong kong citizens in total on that line up $52.00 of them have been confirmed to have the virus but $200.00 others have been tested negative but once they are brought back to hong kong they're going to have to undergo 14 days of quarantine which means in total they will spend a month in quarantine including the 2 weeks of course on board the diamond princess and with a very long time until it adrian brown bear and hung around for us thank you very much. well now it's time for the weather and richard is going to tell us about the bad weather over the leavened that's right yes and certainly across the levant region and the eastern side of the mediterranean we've had some disturbed weather through the gym you've had some very heavy rain of last couple of days some big rainfall totals being reported further east it's still looking pretty disturbed here this shot comes from the gaza strip you see the children making the most were pretty appalling conditions in this city being fairly cold here also you can see is

around the sequence of the rainfall that it generally seems to be just dying away and that is a general trend because what we're going to find is that the main focus of the rain is going to transfer further towards the east so let's move out again and look at particularly iran and iraq and northern parts of syria eastern parts of turkey and it's here where we've got this weather system which is a run the sequence develops into fairly heavy rain you can see on the border of syria turkey the some snow developing and that extends into parts of iraq and also iran so they should focus for wednesday moving on to thursday you can see the intensity here re some very heavy snow fall down through the psych ross mountains that could be up to meter snow at the highest elevations and further south there's also going to be a fair amount of rain moving to the middle east region generally across arabia there's even a chance they'll share coming into dough and what we will find over the next few days is temperatures coming down quite significantly and look at where they're highest of just 22 degrees. thanks very much richard while still ahead on

hello again and the stars you take and a reminder about top stories this hour the u.n. says it's hoping to resume talks aimed at reaching a cease fire in libya after the internationally recognized government suspended its involvement and comes as russia says war khalifa haftar has met with their defense minister and that both agreed a political solution is the only option for libya. turkey's president is threatening an imminent military operational problems if a syrian government forces don't withdraw behind its military positions russia says it's strongly against that narrative. and $79.00 new cases of corona virus have been confirmed on a cruise ship quarantined in japan bringing out total to more than $600.00 hundreds of passengers who were declared healthy were allowed to leave after 2 weeks of being stuck onboard and south korea has seen a rise of 20 new cases in just one day. now followers of after brazilian religion say they're facing prejudice and even attacks as evangelical

and 176 temples with african based religions shut. things were bad enough that a police department was set up in the city to investigate those attacks along with other hate crimes chief joe but stephen a joke told us the worst case is a link to a bizarre phenomena evangelical drug traffickers from the pure 3rd c'mon gang who feel they're on a mission from god one was even a pastor some of the bosses down south and say i do not want. african religions be cracked here anymore cause they belong to the evil and they started are there in cream enough other criminals should get inside of those samples and tell people to stop stop their reach roles stop wearing their clothes us and everything men off the times they call themselves. the cream in the halls of quad soldiers of jesus. that something they should far

down south i'm sure that really really just people want to accept that stephen a jew emphasizes the off to work from his department attacks have gone down. the religious leaders say federal government which relies on evangelical support is not doing enough to protect them there's a sense that it's a serious blow to them in tolerance and violence against the choice and that sony courage more to the many like to see how the it is a racial element to. this is basically a way of breaking black people's legs these temples are places of empowerment welcome in care as black people become stronger these institutions will face more attacks. the fights on to preserve beliefs that for some brazilians are as much part of their identity as sand and see. john homan.

wasting resources trying to appease every unemployed person this way the skilled individuals can set up businesses to employ young people but reviving the economy is not the only concern for 2 goalies in these elections. in rural areas where most of the population lives about 60 percent of the people like access to electricity and clean water. there is widespread poverty among the population there is little or no economic empowerment for the poor some voters want to change to the current regime to them that will mean economic freedom togo is rich and as the president himself acknowledged resources are currently controlled by a few individuals this is unacceptable. campaign rallies are underway as political parties try to convince the voters to support their. members of the i said before being in power here since 967 many talk on short change in the ongoing assembly

application of artificial intelligence particularly in high risk sectors like health care and policing well for more on this let's speak to neve baka who joins us now live from brussels need we've been hearing this over the last hour or so the european commission announcing all these new initiatives what's the main priority here for them. the main priority for the european union is to balance the rights of its many millions of citizens with the desire to actively compete with the united states and china the have much more relaxed attitude when it comes to data regulation so what the e.u. have done is come up with a white paper that they hope after months of consultation will end up being the backbone of future legislation going forward that will essentially dictate the kind of direction the e.u. will go in the years to come will indeed of course the e.u. end up being able to fight off potential competition from outside the bloc that is the big question so some of the details of the white paper that have been discussed

cover everything from facial recognition use in public spaces it looks like the e.u. have backed away from a total ban for the next 5 years leaving it down to individual countries within the to decide what kind of legislation they into g.'s they've also talked about how environmentally sustainable data storage needs to be and all susie mentioned earlier those high risk areas that extra bits of protection may be needed we're talking about access to health care records or security or policing records as well so going forward as the e.u. has a tremendous amount that it needs to think about and it does of course come at a major major financial commitment we're talking about many billions of dollars over the next decade or so money that the e.u. insists is a vital to ensure that the public here across the east $27.00 states have trust in

technology. have it live for us in brussels thank you name of well let's dig into this a little more with mako whole bag he's a member of the high level xpect group on artificial intelligence for the european commission and he joins us now from komo in italy on skype so mark the e.u. isn't really thought of as being very active when it comes to ai the us has its tech giants china has the government leading the charge what's fueling this push in the e.u. because i think the u.s. is not afraid to sue some p. to eat sweets us to china. and i understand the full that there is no. financial commitment there are also impressed. from the export specter of i think it's an opportunity for europe to to leads. not lead perhaps in consumer goods but leads for an ethical approach to ai and i think we can see if we see what the g.d.p. our general data protection regulation does and how it see my other countries start

the new i think there's a there's a good chance for that there's a 70 sort. to make to kind of combine you know patient and ethics will need botanist saying there is this tension here right between trying to regulate the space but also to expand it at the same time so how do you try to walk that fine line. it is in the. difficult balance to strike. i think it's important to have an approach where over the line there's clarity on regulation what the e.u. will do what we have in this document but i think it's that there's too much. things are too open too much possibilities for regulation are present and it's not very clear what he was actually going to do in terms of details regulation a good example is the environment and climate change i think what else could be

done as much more clear requirements. instead we see. some vague references to the importance of responding to destroy homes and. i think from an ethical point of view i want to fly to see more more concrete requirements and more sort of framework for question the regulation in this area mark i want to ask you more about that because this white paper that's released was leaked already some time back and there's already been quite a lot of criticism about the lack of consideration given to the environmental impact and i feel like a lot of people don't think about this a lot i was looking at some numbers here the volume of days a store across the world that they said that would be used to train artificial intelligence would likely quadruple by 2025 i mean to 175 bytes that's quite the carbon footprint when it comes to all the hardware needed to do that. exactly many many people forget that it's

a kind of information stick knowledge in general that they actually do not immaterial they're not just virtual things also software it's all connected with material with viruses with infrastructure it's like data centers and these are made for searchers and with your own devices they have to be produced and there is a sudden she they they consume energy themselves so it's important we do see a new development if we now have an opportunity to regulate this new technologies to do caesar but you've got to also. do it in a way that. not only not environment but also positively contributes to dealing with climate change and that's a space will continue watching very closely indeed my bag there a member of the high level expectation on artificial intelligence for the european commission thank you for joining us on al-jazeera thank you. well now what do
