an extraordinary clash in the world goods between this m.p. for the city of qom that's the epicenter of the outbreak of the corner of us here in iran i meet a body has said that it's actually 50 people that have died he acknowledged that not maybe not all 50 had died from the krona virus but he did criticize the government and said that the performance had been 0 he said that nurses don't have the right uniforms on are fearful of patients he said that the government didn't care about the disease and that the virus had been present in iran for at least 3 weeks but the government had delayed announcing that he also said that he knows of 2 children that have been infected by the virus and he called upon the health ministry to put the city of call on the quarantine now the deputy health minister has responded to i mean about the you know he denied that 50 people had died he said if it was even a half that number he would submit his resignation now i mean nobody responded to that and said that he had sent the names of those that had died to the health

ministry and he's expecting that resignation now the head of the health ministry the health minister has also been speaking he said that iran is dealing with the situation. we need to be honest we need to be transparent in the face of those people who are trying to distort the situation regarding other regions i'd like to say we are dealing with the cases and the symptoms and we have all the capabilities to spot this virus if we have a case that is suspected we will move them to a better place to be hospitalized we have the full capabilities to deter or to treat and we will see everything in a clear way. now iran is finding itself increasingly isolated pakistan has said that the concern about the outbreak of the virus in a closed border to iran that's in addition to flights been suspended between kuwait iraq afghanistan and now oman so there's flights that been suspended between these countries and the land border between iran and iran has been closed but the mood

here and drawn from what we've been seeing we've been seeing greater number of people during the last spring because of this disinfectant in public places some gyms have been closed cafes have been closed schools and universities remain closed and there is concern this is a state of panic but this concern there is fear to a certain extent people all scared but people are also questioning the official government account and that that's said bike there live from tehran the virus is taking an increasingly heavy toll on the global economy stock markets in asia europe and the u.s. fell on monday following the surge in cases and deaths across the globe christian salumi is live for us now in new york kristin so the dow's open just in the past 30 minutes what's the latest. well just after opening bell the dow jones plunged almost a 1000 points it's recovered from that slightly but the markets are down across

who he is in kuala lumpur and says it's unclear wants his next move will be. the same is when the prime minister's office confirming that mahathir had indeed tendered the lows letter of resignation to the king well there was no reason given for the resignation but we've since heard the finance minister coming out and saying that mahathir attended his resignation because he did not want. him to not want the party to have to work with i'm know is the party that was in power in malaysia for decades it had ruled malaysia since the country gained independence from british in 1957 and it was only ousted in the last general election in 2018 its leader was its former leader was the former prime minister of this country not your brazile who's been accused or who's been charged and is on trial for corruption he's been accused of stealing billions of dollars from a state investment fund according to the constitution the person who will become

prime minister and his country is someone who commands the confidence of parliament now if all things had remained the same then this person could well have been on what he brought him but because mahathir is party has left the ruling coalition and because some members of our last party have also either resigned all been sacked from the party on what it's doubtful that anwar will have the numbers to actually back him to be the next prime minister of this country so it's very unclear what's going to happen next we don't know who will be in charge of this country next who or who is going to form part or which parties are going to be part of the ruling coalition but many civil rights groups have already said that if this governing coalition includes i'm no the party that was ousted in the last election then this is clearly wrong it is contrary to democratic principles and it's not what people in malaysia had voted for back in 2018. libya's prime minister has condemned his rival as a war criminal fires also raj addressed the un's human rights council in geneva he

showed members photos of civilians who were killed during war lordly 4 hospitals campaign to overthrow the internationally recognized government. until this very day we have not seen caring and by the international community before you we express our regret and be continuing flagrant violation of human rights which led to the killing of albums and displacement of hundreds of out and your excellent ladies and gentleman many have lost their lives men women children the elderly families have been displaced children have been orphaned because of their aggression perpetrated by the war criminal. the libyan prime minister's comments in geneva came as the latest round of talks between the warring sides conclude that a proposal for a cease fire was discussed but in just the last few alice the book based parliament

which supports all autographer whole thought suspended its participation in the talks last week the internationally recognized government after an attack on a port in tripoli where charles stratford is live for us now in tripoli charles softer side is suspended its participation is this another set of talks coming to the. it certainly seems that way yes we had almost 6 days around 6 days all the the ministry side of these tools says bear in mind that there is a military track a political track an economic track to try and galvanize some end to this crisis in libya certainly those would have described as the 5 plus 5 talks of the being going on in geneva representatives of the un government here in tripoli and 5 members of. the. i have to side from benghazi participating in these tools and so we all evidence would suggest that they have

come to very little if anything a toll the u.n. saying that they handed what was described as a draft agreements to both sides the u.n. backed government is saying that it wasn't happy at seoul with that agreement that draft agreement saying that there was nothing concrete in it enough for them to wants to participate in the next told which was scheduled for wednesday on a political track the u.n. backed government has pulled out of those tools and then it was literally about an hour or so late that decided in benghazi say that they are not going to participate in those political chael that was scheduled as i say full wednesday now bear in mind it's been 10 months. since off this full season their offensive on tripoli the capital it was fair to say feels sometimes as if it's almost on the

siege there is a ceasefire but i suppose that is really not the best way of describing it there are constant violations may we speak to fight this on the front lines bush me every day they say that they accused in a full season of firing at them and vice. and of course these are civilian areas around $150000.00 people that have already been. forced to flee the fighting since this crisis started hundreds of people killed so yeah on a military on the military track things have not gone well and of course the worse these talks the carmel the less that comes from these talks the more the phase grow other potential military escalation and we've been looking at some of the konami fallout from this crisis over the last few years but especially over the last 10 months or so and this is our report. this is the entrance to the old city in tripoli people have been coming to shop in the market here from all over north

africa for centuries. but business no he's not good. it's virtually impossible for customers to travel across the front lines of fighting in the suburbs to get to tripoli the capital the fields increasingly under siege since warlords khalifa haftar his military offensive against the u.n. backed government started last april it's winning season in libya. this is supposed to be one of the busiest times of the year for them the jeweler makes the conoco saw. a traditional necklace and a must have for libyan bryant's only wedding day. he says sales have halted in recent years and the fenwick lost a fentanyl after the revolution around 20122013 we had lots of customers since the war started and people want to hold on to whatever pennies they have to

be prepared for the worst food to be shopping with her daughter who's getting married soon even that the on the actually there of illusion we hope that the government would be more engaged in helping the young generation find jobs even in the private sector and helping them settle but that hasn't happened this current crisis is making things worse. off of the revolution that overthrew mama gadhafi in 2011 there were hopes that libya could use money from its vast oil resources to try and stimulate an diversify its economy but here is a political instability and conflicts have made that i personally impossible to achieve. this forces trying to surround the city and county of the capital his loyalists of closed all facilities in areas they control depriving the u.n. bank governments of around $50000000.00 a day how they lead one to lead their aggression against us means we've had to stop

our $21000.00 development initiative which focus on investment and the private sector this had an effect not just in tripoli but the whole country that we cannot diversify away from oil and help the private sector until this aggression against us stops. despite efforts to agree a ceasefire there's little sign of a meaningful solution to end libya's crisis. says none of the hopes he had for a prosperous future after the revolution 1000000 years ago a from true. chance stop at al-jazeera tripoli. the prime minister of the suits who has been in court 3 days off to thomas the body failed to appear to face allegations of murdering his strange wife. he was shot dead just before his inauguration and 2017 the bodies new wife has already been charged with murder the case is being referred to the constitutional court to determine whether the prime minister can be prosecuted for me to milage joins us now live from this into the

capital for me to sir thomas de bonny is now claiming immunity can you tell us. well at this point members of the old us who to convention this is the party that thomas to bonnie leads there are members of that parties who have described that move by to barney as just trying to buy time a very similar to him having left the country when he was 1st due to appear in court they say this is just another did delay tactic and i think it's quite interesting that that comes from within his own party i think it demonstrates as the the the friction and the divisions within that party now this is a party that is also consumed by a political battle a succession battle they're trying to find a name to announce who might replace to barney the a.b.c. has said that they want the prime minister gone given that they has these charges

looming over his head even though the court hasn't yet formally charged him and there appears to be now a long legal battle ahead of this country in terms of the prime minister answering those murder charges but while they await any sort of conclusion in that the main issue for this a.b.c. party here is just who will be the next prime minister once time to bond he steps down he says that will be in july but they aren't any guarantees on the surface of it you know this case has almost a soap opera quality to it had a prime minister one wife and another murder charge run us through the specifics of this case what it's alleged happened. well these are accusations and in fact the crime when a deeper level or barney the 2nd wife of the prime minister was killed in 2017

there were rumors surfacing that alleged that the prime minister's wife my cea that's at the time was a woman he was in a relationship with had something to do with that murder just 2 days after the poor little was murdered prime minister tom to bonnie was sworn in for his 2nd term in office at that time he was involved in quite a bit of divorce battle with deep in fact there was a court case where she was trying to protect her position as 1st lady and the court had ruled in her favor saying that she should enjoy the benefits of 1st lady and that these shouldn't be they shouldn't be given to his goal friend at the time my cea once deeper to bonnie was killed tom to bonnie they're married my sea about 2 months late say in a very big affair here in the capital must sero now since then there's been a lot of speculation around the power that my c.i. has on the prime minister if he's fit to lead this country and just who holds the

political power who's making the decisions as far as having influence over ministerial positions and this is caused a lot of tension and concern within the ruling a.b.c. party and throughout government and even the coalition partners just around the prime minister's fitness to hold office and what happens next we do know that my seat before being charged for organizing the murder of her body she had fled the lawsuit to at one point it's only when she returned and turned herself into police were these murder charges as well as attempted murder and laid against her now those attempted murder charges relate to the woman who was with people. hello at the time she was wounded in that shooting but it is a very complicated saga that is grab the attention of people in lawsuit 2 and neighboring countries given that salva africa surrounds list 22 and this is where

. from india's point of view this is something the indian navy desperately needs we have some excellent warships but the washouts i've been without medium lift helicopters their defensive weapon basically there and it's submarine helicopters so from our point of view it's a win win i would say to win win thing the u.s. get the big scene india gets helicopters which it desperately needs but i must point out that normally presidential visits are not the occasion for these deals but i think this time around they needed some kind of a deliverable and so this was pushed into this it was almost certain we were going to buy those helicopters that would not be sure but the very fact that the president himself think about it to be implies that this is seen as a deliverable because we've had no trade be accompanying the. violence has broken out in parts of delhi between supporters and opponents of india's new citizenship

chants coming from the hindu. you see at the end of this road here i'm about 300 meters away from where it all happened that's now been sort of a no go zone police of invoked a penal statute 114 which prevents groupings of more than 4 people but there's a very sizeable police enforcement on the streets so i have to say it's very very tense here and people are very concerned about what's going to happen because we're a stalemate these are the scenes that prime minister modi didn't want donald trump to see so he won't see them unless he turns on his t.v. tonight or they have been quite violent and it shows how tense the situation is and we are still without a conclusion to this but both sides of the community are showing their anger and frustration in a violent way future ford was thailand's newest political party its candidates and young supporters looks to challenge and change the government run by pro channel china the army general who gained power in

a social movement he says but it will continue at all costs no one wants to go to toe ride but somebody has to do it if somebody has to do it and if that means we have to confront it with the junta you know. you have to do it otherwise you can bring you cannot bring about change and that the challenge will be how to convince as to basement. as a whole you know the window is just part of this is to be human how to communicate to them how to convince them that it's time to let go of the power of. the fall and it's not change you know some people that continue to oppression of those who speak out against the centers of power something that future for was trying to do inside the parliament will lead to further discontent and that's something that kind of falls into on rest maybe a build up accumulation of grievances economy economies mismanaged societies deeply

disenchanted political authoritarianism is more rampant and therefore a kind of a showdown people want to take back that country. they want to have their own. parliament has a history of showdowns like that after this ruling there are more than $6000000.00 voters who wanted you to forward to lead that charge inside the system but now they might be looking for ways to get it done outside on the streets it's got harder al-jazeera thank. togo's president for nothing but it has won a 4th term in office he took 72 percent of the voted far ahead of his main rival the opposition alleges frauds took place during the election the president's family has ruled the west african nation for 53 years. interest ones us now live from the capital just tell us one of these allegations that the opposite opposition leader is burning. well basically he said he
