heaven tell me to get in wednesday passionate words from kobe bryant's widow at a memorial for the basketball legend and her daughter giana killed in a helicopter crash along with 7 others last month. welcome to the program the world health organization says it's deeply concerned by the sudden increase in corona virus cases outside of china 3 main clusters of infections are growing in the middle east europe and asia iran has confirmed 12 deaths there and has denied reports that the toll could be much higher kuwait is also among several countries in the region reporting their 1st infections kuwait civil aviation authority says it's temporarily barring flights from dubai in sharjah as a protective measure kuwait national day celebrations scheduled for tuesday have now been cancelled. in europe meanwhile 7 people have now died in northern italy

which has more than 220 cases the highest concentration outside of asia and the u.s. and south korea say they're considering scaling back joint military exercises after 13 korean soldiers tested positive for the virus in total $893.00 cases have now been confirmed in south korea at least 8 people have died there well the head of the world health organization says that despite the continued spread the outbreak can still be beaten for the moment we have not weakness see the uncontained globally spread of this virus and we are not witnessing largest gives if it does or does does this virus have pandemic potential absolutely it has and we vary it from our assessment not yet but the key message that should give all countries hope courage and confidence is that this virus can be

contained indeed there are many countries that have done exactly that well shortly we'll cross to south korea's capital where our correspondent rob mcbride is standing by with the latest on deaths and infections there but 1st let's get more from katrina you in the chinese capital beijing on new numbers of infected being released from china katrina new numbers have been given out now from china's health ministry what more have they been saying there. that's right so we've just heard in the recent hours that they have been 508 new cases across china now that's not a final number are going to hear more of the next few hours been more provinces do report but that that number is already up from the day before yet yesterday we had just over 400 cases so that is slightly up but still the government here is is emphasizing the general downward trend so another new number we had is 71 deaths

compared with 150 yesterday and only 9 cases outside of who a province compared with 11 cases yesterday and conversely we're seeing. more people recovering from the corona virus here in china more than 2000 people are said to have been recovered from this and then that number is continuing to surpass new confirmed cases so chinese government is very much saying that the containment measures that they have put in place locking down the province of they saying that those measures have worked and that sentiment has been very much eckerd by the world health organization who gave a press conference in beijing on monday evening saying that it was very much thanks to these a bold moves china has made that this seems to be contained and the world health organization world health organization says in china that indeed it seems that there is a decline and that's it the outbreak has peaked but of course officials in have said that they're the epicenter of the outbreak it's still very much

a grim situation we still have 10000 people in critical condition 4000 people waiting to be diagnosed and 3000 medical staff themselves have been infected and we actually. heard that there were 3 doctors who lost their lives in recent days or still a very serious situation in china definitely in who a province an asian stock markets have taken a tumble katrina clearly the virus has rattled the markets. that's right so this morning we saw china in china in shanghai and change in the market dropped about 8.8 percent one percent in australia just over one percent independent that took the biggest tumble when markets open there it dropped as 'd much as $3.00 but now it's kind of stabilized around the 2.9 percent mark but south korea actually recovered and is starting to stabilize it went up by one percent back from yesterday when it plunged 4 percent on news that korea south korea was on

high alert so not as big as a drop as we saw in the u.s. markets but definitely investors are rattled especially at concerns that this could turn into a global pandemic but it seems sort of all of that at least investors in china and in south korea have confidence in their government's ability to contain this and they're not really selling their stocks as much as we've seen in north america all right to katrina you there in beijing if you know thank you let's cross have a now to the south korean capital seoul and talk to rob mcbride reports that both the u.s. and south korean militaries are considering scaling back their joint training exercises juta the coronavirus what more can you tell us the. there had been reports that the exercises they traditionally take place these spring exercises between south korean and u.s. forces in march would actually be postponed but the military here in south korea is denying that but it does look likely that they will be scaled down obviously the

military would be concerned about putting forces together in close proximity with each other it's not the kind of thing you want to be doing when you do have an epidemic and when you have the country on the highest level of disease alert so it does that likely it will be scaled down of course these exercises have been scaled down over the past couple of years as we've seen this dialogue take place between north korea south korea and the united states there are more command and control simulation type exercises rather than boots on the ground but it does look likely to be further scaled back the military is very concerned about infections running through its military bases both the u.s. forces down south korean forces and we have several 100 soldiers in a quarantine in isolation having made contact with other people who have been found to be infected and just yesterday monday we had the 1st confirmed case of

a u.s. relative of u.s. personnel being confirmed to be carrying the corona virus and rob south korea now has the largest number of confirmed cases outside of china just bring us up to date now what's been happening there the bigger picture. that's right the other figures just released in the last hour or so show that there's a further 60 cases so they have a total of $1893.00 confirmed coronavirus cases in south korea and of course the country is no dealing with a growing list of territories and countries who are putting travel restrictions on south korea or some like 13 or 14 that the latest to join has been hong kong with a travel ban on visitors nonresident visitors arriving from south korea there's also restrictions imposed by taiwan we know of course that there are hundreds of south korean visitors and tourists on their way back to south korea having been

turned away all rounded up and put on planes from israel and we've just heard in the last hour or so that in fact the united states has now advised against all nonessential travel to south korea so very troubling situation just finally the national assembly has been closed today because a senior lawmaker there was found to be infected and as we speak the whole national assembly building is basically being disinfected teams wandering around hosing down the place. in seoul rob thank you well coronavirus fears have triggered a share market selloff across major economies the tokyo stock exchanges opened a short while ago with a drop of 3.5 percent and earlier the u.s. stock market registered biggest fall in over a year with the dow jones industrial average losing over a 1000 points so let's get more now from christine salumi in new york. investors

took a beating on monday with all 3 of the major stock indexes in the united states showing sharp declines the dow jones industrial plunged more than a 1000 points or 3 and a half percent and the declines were reflected in all of the major sectors of the economy from energy to technology perhaps the greatest declines were seen related to manufacturing stocks like apple which relies on china for manufacturing it's also one of its big growing markets and it was reflected in the sharp decline in its stocks at the same time investors were looking to put their money in safe havens moving from these stocks into government treasury bonds also gold prices went up at one point hitting a 7 year high as investors look for someplace safe to put their money this all happened just less than a week after the market hit new record highs in the united states word that the

coronavirus had spread outside of china spikes in italy near a major manufacturing hub there are concerns that that could affect the economy of europe south korea also saw an increase in cases and this has investors spooked that the worst of this epidemic has yet to come. because in tehran says the number of cases rise is there's disagreement over how bad the situation really is. there's been an extraordinary exchange in clash a war of words between a member of parliament and a buddy he's a member of parliament for the city of qom the epicenter of this virus here in iran and the health ministry now he said he puts the number of dead from the virus at 50 now he acknowledges not within maybe from the coronavirus but he says that the government's performance on the issue has been 0 he says that nurses don't have the correct uniforms on are scared of treating patients he says that the government

isn't really concerned and the virus has been present in iran for 3 weeks but their names meant was delayed by the government he also said that he knows of 2 children that have been infected by the virus and has called upon the health ministry to impose a curfew on the city of call now the deputy health minister has come out and as has denied that figure of 50 and said that even if it was half that number he would submit his resignation now about the responded to that and he said he sent the names of those that have died from the virus to the health ministry and he expects a resignation now the health minister has come out in response to all of this and he said that the government is dealing with the situation but moving out of those latest cases of the coronavirus surfacing in the country's northern regions of lombardy and the netto of close schools universities museums and cinemas for at least a week june has more. interior than usual downtown milan

a sense of anxiety but no signs of panic amid the 1st major coronavirus outbreak in europe landmarks like to do more cathedral and less scala opera house have been closed temporarily. a headline screams out virus the great fear even though fear at least for now isn't all that apparent yes schools have been shut down but his vegetable market remains open. so let me have bad. but i didn't i didn't see any danger is we'll looking a lot of the people are not leaving their houses and they call us and we bring the shopping t. them that's the way we're working at the moment milan's mayor says the main mission now is contain the possible further spread of the virus and that while numbers of those infected have indeed been going up that could be because health officials are proactively looking for new cases he also urged residents not to clear supermarket shelves but videos posted on social media like this one suggest that advice may be

falling on deaf ears in northern italy the number of coronavirus cases continues to surge even though at least 10 hotspot towns are effectively under lockdown. police check vehicles trying to enter one of the quarantine towns authorized lorries carrying essential goods and medical supplies are allowed through everyone else is turned away. in an effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus even the venice carnival was cut short a medal that you know what i might. fight it another thought i would have to sign in order to shut down the venue it's one of the thought we'd have to close the schools churches museums and all public places so i nor my skin a lot from aussie thousands so i know all the way things go we can pull together well we just need to think about internally to be able to shut up inside us a little to even it. inside the town of lingo authorities have allowed select shops to reopen. outside long lines of shoppers wearing protective masks and gloves

keen to stock up all this as officials are still struggling to confirm the origin of the outbreak in italy mohammed al jazeera milla. let's also to come here on the news hour including. weinstein is a vicious serial sexual predator hollywood movie producer abbi weinstein was taken straight to jail after being found guilty of sexual assault and 3rd degree rape. as he battles a warlord trying to overrun his capital libya's internationally recognized leader takes his case to the world's highest human rights body. and in sport the life of basketball legend kobe bryant is remembered at a service in los angeles. 4 people have been killed and dozens injured in new delhi during violence between

groups supporting and opposing india's new citizenship no hundreds of muslim activists have been protesting against the law which they say discriminates against their community they were targeted by hindu groups linked to prime minister narendra modi's party the bay j p hundreds of police have been drafted in to restore calm in the area of jaffa bad for my tony i reports. took police several hours to regain control after a 2nd day of unrest some of the most violent protests for weeks in the capsule against the citizen amendment law the fighting was in the districts of just for a bad and. in northeast delhi between hindu groups who support the law and muslim communities they say the legislation is racist and discriminates against india's muslim minority and look as if we were all sitting here peacefully protesting near the jeff about school and there was no provocation from our side all of violence that happened took place from their side the mob came and threw stones at the mosque they be making provoked if slogans and speeches like the traitor.

we have figured out that all this violence was pre-planned they've actually called people to assemble and there was a plan in place when they attacked us it also seems that the local police were on the side everyone how the web. carried a gun they were the ones who threw the flare stones. but i waited for you as the trouble escalated a number of people were seriously injured and investigations into the deaths have begun it's not clear yet who was responsible for the death of the police but he underlines just how volatile the situation remains here and it shows the deepening anger still exists on both sides of this sensitive issue was this video seems to show hindu protesters throwing stones while a policeman does little to stop them the scene show others setting fire to muslim property the video cannot be independently verified the violence followed threats by hindu leaders to remove a group of muslim women who sit down protesters forced the closure of

a major road. mosque in jeffrey bag was attacked and cars and homes were set on fire in efforts to maintain calm police have imposed emergency measures banning gatherings of more than 4 people but we saw little being done to enforce the natures. the relationship between the hindu and muslim communities has become bad and this tension is now spreading to other places surrounding this locality and also further afield outside delhi. as more security forces were drafted in to guard areas overnight the flames still burned and local people are fearful for the violence to come to you 30 al-jazeera just for bad northeast. well in contrast there are different scenes as u.s. president donald trump was welcomed by more than 100000 people at a rally in the indian city of i'm at a bad his 1st visit to the country is designed not only to boost ties and trade but also his reelection chances by appealing to 4 and

a half 1000000 indian american voters and as a parent and reports from him at a bad in the state of georgia. on his 1st foreign trip since his impeachment trial donald trump could not have looked more pleased with the reception he received it was. of the 10000000 people trump said greet him in good iraq before leaving for india bought more than 100000 people packed into the saadat voted by patel stadium to hear the u.s. president praise all things indian from one of its founders mahatma gandhi to cricket stars and the bollywood film industry his gracious admiration though was reserved for prime minister in the day of the movie you are living proof that with hard work and devotion indians get accomplished anything anything at all anything they want. promise to morty into spoke of what he called the 2 countries shared values i don't. believe the 3rd money today you are the $1.00 india which is

full of diversity with thousands of languages a spoken with just thousands of costumes cusins and several religious group and communities all rich diversity and unity is a strong foundation of india u.s. relationship i. but president trump visit comes at a time when that instability and his hindu nationalist but at the agenda party of facing criticism for the treatment of indian muslims. in contrast that i heard him . not to be disbelieved. he talked about. india's peacefulness is really just. but these are only 3 things that have been under threat in the last 66 years. there have been 2 months of nationwide protests against the citizenship law which fast track citizenship to minorities from 3 neighboring countries but excludes muslims white house official said president

trump will raise concerns over the citizenship law with prime minister modi the 2 leaders will discuss defend security and trade in new delhi on tuesday while there's no progress expected on the big differences when it comes to trade president trump believes a happy man after the him he received it might not be the country's most populous state but nearly a 3rd of indian americans have connections here and 9 months ahead of the u.s. presidential election. coming to. help popularity among the 4 and a half 1000000 indian american voices elizabeth al-jazeera. well donald trump has already announced the u.s. will sign a $3000000000.00 weapons deal on tuesday india relies heavily on washington for its military hardware new delhi's bought $17000000000.00 worth of u.s. military goods since 2007 the us is india's 2nd largest trading partner off to china but serious differences of cropped up in recent months before trump's visit

u.s. diplomats failed to ease the friction india in the u.s. have both been affected by the tit for tat tariffs on imports since $28.00 c. let's bring in southern and duminy he's a resident fellow at the american enterprise institute and a columnist for the wall street journal he joins us via skype from washington d.c. this is the 1st time we've seen confrontation between hindus muslims on the streets of the capital over this issue how much is this an embarrassment to the modi government given donald trump's praise for india's inclusive it's a big rally yesterday. well it's obviously something that the more the government would have wished for than plea not to happen they would like the images that go around the world to be pictures of you know either the president along with mr modi at the stadium in gujarat or perhaps the pictures of president trump and 1st lady melania trump at the park mahal but instead you're going to have you're going to

have those pictures of course but you're also going to see really some of the most troubling pictures we've seen out of the protests over the citizenship law which as you pointed out has been very controversial and yesterday's violence has been partly blamed on modi's b j p party is likely to have an impact on the talks do you think between trump and modi you know at this point the details are still not clear to me so i'm not going to sort of jump to sort of into a post-mortem but it's certainly true that we have seen rhetoric from many b.g.p. leaders that has been in my view quite irresponsible and instead of trying to calm tensions the really been stalking them it's going to be a delicate dance for the president he wants to keep this relationship on track i think it was deliberate that he did not mention these contentious issues in his public speech but we're given to understand that at least privately that he will signal somehow that the u.s. is wired about the direction in which india 'd is headed and would like to sort of

at least hear what the indian government has to say about this sudden and how much is this visit by trump to india likely do you think to appeal to the millions of the in american voters back home in the run up to u.s. elections how will they be watching this trump visit. you know i know a lot of people have sort of pointed this out but i'm a little bit skeptical because 1st of all you know most indian americans work for the democratic party overwhelmingly more than more than more than 70 percent secondly most of them are in solidly blue states they're in places like california new york and new jersey turly they vote for 'd things that matter to them in their lives in the united states i think a very small percentage of them would be you know voting based on what trump does in india and many of the people who really care about that are not even u.s. citizens or people who have green cards and so on so i'm not sure if the electoral impact is going to be as significant as some people have said sudden a final thought from you and you've written that donald trump's visit is

a reminder that geopolitics still binds the u.s. and india together even as economics and human rights threaten to pull them apart i mean that's an interesting observation you've made i mean there may be friends but big tensions still exist and they are right so it's a 3 legged stool you have you have defense you have economics and you have values and 2 of the 3 legs are wobbly economics and that and the one like that's quite strong is the defense and strategic one all right a sudden and you may thank you thank you very much indeed for your time thanks for having me. hollywood producer harvey weinstein has been convicted of sexual assault and rape in new york but he was acquitted on the more serious charge of predatory sexual assault his case led to the birth of the global me to movement cable is under reports now from new york. harvey weinstein's days as hollywood's most powerful movie producer officially are over he's now a convicted felon and rapist after the verdict some of harvey weinstein's accusers

said they hoped his day would finally come weinstein was found not guilty of the most serious charges of predatory sexual assault but was found guilty of a criminal sexual act and a 3rd degree rape as a verdict was read weinstein showed a little emotion as he was handcuffed and taken to jail make sure to be tears to get emotional just kept saying we're not in a subsequent and it's ideal you know it's going to set up the verdict caps nearly a 3 week trial and 5 days of jury deliberations he was on trial for allegedly raping an aspiring actress in 2013 and sexually assaulting another woman in 2006 in 2017 investigative reporter rich mchugh was one of the 1st to report allegations of rape by weinstein he has since interviewed dozens of other women who accused him of sexual assault and harassment i know at least one of the women who will be testifying and her case is horrific. and so i think it's i can only imagine the

case will be even stronger in los angeles that is here in new york and. i imagine you know the verdict will be i don't i don't i that's hard for me to predict but the case is pretty pretty strong from from all that i know at his peak of power weinstein was a hollywood legend many of the greatest actors or actresses over the past 40 years have worked with him in some capacity here directly or through his movie studios throughout his career weinstein has been associated with 81 academy awards weinstein's conviction is a victory for the me too movement that began in 2017 when actress alyssa milano tweeted if you've ever been sexually harassed or assaulted write me to is. reply to this tweet millions did and the movement took off harvey weinstein now sits in jail awaiting his sentencing by the judge next month if he's given the maximum should be

29 years that would mean he's not released from prison until he's 96 years old gabe rosendo al-jazeera new york well let's bring in debbie hine she's a former baltimore city prosecutor joins us live now from baltimore in maryland debbie this is a stunning downfall for the hollywood mogul what do you make of the verdict because sex offenses on the touristy hard to prosecute all day yes definitely i mean sex offense cases are much more difficult to prosecute than even murder cases basically because many members of the jurors just find it very difficult to believe women who are sexual assault victims they find it difficult to believe that you can continue to have a relationship that you can continue to see. your accuser your cues rate this as was in the harvey weinstein case and what you know in reality most sex offense cases occur with individuals that you know it doesn't usually occur the way people

think that it's some way down a blind alley so this was definitely a tremendous victory for women everywhere not just in new york not just of these 2 victims but internationally it was a it was a verdict and a victory for everyone once it was cleared of the most serious counts of predatory sexual assault why do you think the prosecutors went for that charge was a bit of a gamble. yeah i mean you know i honestly as a former prosecutor i think if they had to bring that charge because even though the case was being tried in new york with about 2 women and what he did in those particular cases at the end of the day he was a predator he was cute as a predator we heard that there were 80 other women that were you know had alleged allegations against him but that was a very uphill climb for them i kind of would say maybe almost overcharging one the one hand but however one the other hand because of the egregiousness of the accept were alleged against him they had to basically go for that they just had to do that

and that was a charge that would have carried a life in prison as well as a 1st degree rape charge for which he was also acquitted and he was found guilty of 33 rape offense but it's something that the prosecutors had to go yes you call it began to think that it was it something that they had to do the reason why it's a gamble is it could also backfire. all right so let's through forward what happens next then in the legal process i mean there are reports tonight that weinstein's been carted off to hospital in anomalous but is he likely to ask for a new trial and does he have any grounds to ask for that retrial where every defendant has a right to x. for a new trial after a conviction and so that he will definitely probably acts for a new trial which undoubtedly i think will be denied and he also has the right to appeal and he definitely has the right to appeal and his attorney is already saying that they intend to appeal this verdict but at the end of the day it's up to a judge if he starts his sentence and i would think in his case he's going to even

if he does appeal he's going to be awaiting out his appeal in jail or in prison and at the same time he has the cases that are waiting for him in l.a. so it's not over for him and i think that at the end of the day mr weinstein has probably seen the last of his freedom to behind great to get your thoughts on social conservatives or thank you thank you. time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back malaysia's prime minister steps down the what's believed to be a bid to cut his chosen successor out of a new administration. decades of violence in south sudan is hurting those with physical disabilities. and in sport the hosts and tournaments favorites get their campaign back on track at the women's t 20 world cup more still. ahead

of it is a case of rain now across much of the northern areas of asia particularly the great peninsula and japan of course you see nothing but snow over several days but this cloud you can see this is going to be bringing the rain the air is certainly a lot milder now on the up side it's heavy rain but on the up side we all seeing the system move very quickly and so maybe just 50 millimeters of rain at best accumulating over the next few days across into the korean peninsula but it will work its way across into western areas of honcho moving quickly throughout wednesday again we could see some snow to those higher elevations not by generally throughout much of china some showers across the central areas but really the story here is the time which is very mild celsius in shanghai and a very warm couple of days in hong kong $26.00 on wednesday and as against an average of just 19 degrees usually at this time of year more rain farther to the south much of indonesia saying fine and dry throughout much of southern thailand vietnam scattered showers really across much of the philippines and very little change as we head to wednesday of the not a bad day across much of the

a little bit light rain still in the forecast into northern india particular cross into bihar and across into odisha west bengal and again caring east as you have through wednesday so a dry day generally on a warm one in need at 27. motor sport is big news in libya but staging car and bike rallies here comes with its own particular risks our club couldn't take part in the 26th rally because we were fighting a war as i said sir to al-jazeera world travels to the libyan desert to see how schooled on 4 wheels come to be a unifying force you know war chill country video a rally for hope on al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks the syrian army is soon determined to defeat the rebels and continue
