constitutions that protect freedom individual rights and the rule of law during our visit we discuss the importance of a secure 5 g. wireless network and the need for this emerging technology to be a tool for freedom progress prosperity not to do anything where. would be even conceived as a conduit for suppression and censorship to guarantee that the infrastructure of the future is built in a safe transparent and accountable manner the united states is working with a range of partners including australia and japan to create the blue dot network a major initiative to ensure countries around the world have access to private sector lead sustainable and trustworthy options for high quality infrastructure development and that's what's happening i know the major focus of my discussions with prime minister modi is forging bilateral economic relationships that is fair

and reciprocal our teams have made tremendous progress on a comprehensive trade agreement and i'm optimistic we can reach a deal that will be of great importance to both countries since i took office u.s. exports to india are up nearly 60 percent and exports of high quality american energy have grown by thank you very much 500 percent that's great as india grows so do its energy needs yesterday exxon mobil signed a deal to improve india's natural gas distribution network so that the u.s. can export even more l.n.g. to india we are pleased to be joined by the chairman of exxon mobil in the l.n.g. market development alex falcoff thank you alex wherever you may be where is alex someplace alex thank you very much thank you very much alex and the c.e.o.

of love that they had been on the receiving end though he said it's been a very productive visit so far confirming what we've been reporting that talking about a deal worth $3000000000.00 for military helicopters and the equipment the insular equipment that goes with them they've also had conversations about radical islamic terrorism quotes they've been talking about 5 g. the coming next evolution of how we all use our cell phones our mobile telephones talking about bilateral trade talks he also said exports have gone up from the united states to india by 60 percent since he took office i suspect somebody'll be fact checking that as we speak we'll stay with these pictures for a bit and we'll bring in correspondent elizabeth piron joining us live from new delhi so liz on the face of it a very warm productive relationship between these 2 world leaders. certainly a very warm relationship and that's what we saw yesterday when donald trump was welcomed on his 1st visit to india and the stage i'm going to rock the 1st u.s. president to go to good europe which is the one state of prime minister that in the

movie and welcomed perhaps. you know white house correspondent can be held at the saying yesterday that perhaps the biggest crowd he's ever got anywhere so a huge welcome yesterday but listening to what they've been saying today when they have got down to all of those bilateral meetings told o'donnell tom says that it's been a very productive meeting for both of them i didn't actually hear anything new as such he did announce that big 3000000000 dollar defense deal yesterday at the stadium when he wasn't going to iraq and we were expecting that so with that said so that is good for the united states and they're you know both playing up their strategic partnership and they are playing up the defense deal because security and defense is of course a key pella of the relationship between. 2 countries that in the more days the. elusive trade deal between these 2 countries the biggest sticking point between the

u.s. and india is trade they have had serious differences a year of retaliatory tower of so i think it was in 2900 and absolutely no progress on that in fact that's why the u.s. trade representative all that lot has a didn't actually come to india ahead of the u.s. president's visit but yet we heard donald trump say yesterday that they're planning on you know the biggest and the best ever trade deal and that is the board he did say today that they've agreed that they call most ministers will sit down and stocks were called on that so that's. that sums up wash we got from the visit so far peter we did see those pictures in the past 24 hours of those people demonstrating on the streets elizabeth the people who are angry over the new citizenship legislation that mr moody has been introducing did that impact the visit the tall and also of the back of the there was speculation that mr trump would talk about kashmir but is that too much of

a hot potato for him to get close to. well on the protests paid to but certainly the mood is much more subdued today than it was yesterday things a still tense in the northeast of delhi where the death toll is now 7 people including one police officer something like 160 people injured in the more than 2 months of protests against the citizenship law which was passed in early december while they have been deaths around the country they had until last night been no deaths and deadly this is the capital and what we're seeing here pictures of rioting you know shops cars being set on fire this is exactly what the u.s. the indian government and prime minister in the day and more deep did not want to happen during the u.s. president's visit it has happened and that is because. people that actually support

the citizenship law attacked a protest site of people that are against that law that led to clashes so it is still a tense this is not what the indian government wanted at all and we have heard from white house officials that this is something that donald trump would bring up with the indian prime minister we haven't heard that yet we'll wait to see if he does. need you know this u.s. president as someone who's offered many times to mediate on that is completely goes against india's policy which will which is that they would never accept 3rd party mediation on this issue we will see if he does if he does bring it up again but we know what india's answer will be elizabeth rhonda reporting live for us from new delhi liz good to talk to you as a thank you. more coronavirus deaths in china and a sharp rise in infections far beyond stoking fears that the global spread of the

outbreak is entering a new stage stocks of fall and on worries the epidemic will have a lasting economic impact and he's 9 people have died in south korea where there are almost 900 confirmed cases u.s. forces there are considering scaling back military exercises iran has confirmed 15 deaths while bahrain kuwait iraq oman and afghanistan have all reported infections your thought is in its elite have sealed off the worst affected towns in the north 7 people have died there and more than 200 are infected the highest concentration outside asia as for china numbers of new infections in areas outside who'll be province of forming but there have been another $71.00 deaths mostly in the epicenter let's go live now to hong kong and our correspondent adrian brown adrian what's the latest picture where you are. well i think the impact of this virus on the stock markets is really starting to be felt last

week stock markets were sort of shrugging off this virus and i think today there was a realisation sinking in that this virus could be around a lot longer that warning from the world health organization that the world needs to perhaps prepare for a pandemic has rattled stock markets now we saw that huge fall in new york on monday well that was followed in tokyo on the opening of trade on choose day the market down there around about 4 percent on opening and one of the companies worst hit is toyota the car manufacturer it shares fell by about 2 and a half percent now the reason for that is that toyota has really been hit hard because it relies on spare parts made in factories in china that have basically been closed for more than a month the global supply chain as we know has been severely disrupted not just oil and high on day the south korean car manufacturer but also other big multinationals like nike and apple are also suffering so we're also seeing weighing in on that of

course depressed consumer sentiment now china's not just the driver of global economic growth it also has a large number of consumers especially in its burgeoning middle class and these people aren't traveling and they're not spending so that's also having a real impact but a lot of analysts are saying peter that you know when this virus is eventually contained let's hope there will be an enormous rebound because of all the pent up demand that will be out there of the i'm getting a sense perhaps as well adrian. when it comes to the timeline of this closing done some schools until easter. that's right no schools here in hong kong have been closed basically for more than

a month since the chinese lunar new year holidays now the authorities in hong kong are saying schools are going to remain closed for basically another 2 months until april the 20th now that is the hong kong government playing it safe because of course what you don't want is to run the risk of this infection in schools where it would spread very fast so i think they're taking the better safe than that than sun sorry attitude but it's also i think a reflection that they must perhaps feel that this virus is not going to be brought under control anytime soon across the border in china the global times newspaper has been reporting on choose day that a university professor and t. and jen says that he believes he may have found a vaccine and he says he's been testing for all doses of this vaccine on himself there were no side effects and he believes that production of this vaccine could begin soon but you know a lot of health experts are urging caution on that because they're saying you know

it could be many more months before a vaccine is developed and when one is that will require months of clinical trials to ensure that the vaccine is affective and of course safe adrian many thanks so he's president has confirmed the deaths of 2 turkish soldiers in libya typer the one sent in troops in january to support libya's internationally recognized government in tripoli government forces are battling fighters loyal to the warlords after they've been trying to capture the capital for the past 10 months. to libya correspondent mark abdel wired who's in tripoli mark what what else do we know about these 2 soldiers. well. as you know the the military existence in libya is according to the government of national cord by virtue of the military and security agreement signed

with turkey. in november last year but again the president. as he was addressing his speech to the opposition he is justifying their existence the military individuals and also the advance of weapons with the government of national accord so the government here says that the existence of the military equipment from turkey and military individuals is again by virtue of the military agreement signed with turkey in november last year turkey seems to be playing a major rule to turkish military existence on the ground to the government forces has achieved a supposed to. change on the ground. offensive by have to forces that started on april 4th last year but again it seems that

these. violations by have to his forces according to the government of national court are derailing the peace process in geneva so the fact that the president of egypt alone is mentioning that they have lost soldiers in libya that could be some kind of justification to any counter offensive as you know peter that have to the forces have been violating the cease fire they have been targeting get civet in areas civilian facilities presidential areas with random rockets until last night 5 civilians were injured by a random rocket lands should by have to forces induce aleem neighborhood in the city so. that is old derailing the peace process due to be held in geneva and the government of national accord as you know peter has suspended its participation in these talks due to what it calls the multiple violations of the ceasefire by have

to us forces including the targeting of the ports last week and also other civilisation areas and the only operation airport in the city airport peter welcome and thank you very much. a un and egyptian brokered cease fire has come into effect between israel and the palestinian group islamic jihad ceasefire follows 2 days of cross border violence the israeli air force says at least 80 rockets were fired from gaza on monday israel and so carried out attacks using aircraft and tanks 6 people were killed in syria on sunday nights including 2 islamic jihad members and 4 wounded in the gaza strip and forces joins us live now from southern israel near the border with gaza so far is it holding. it appears to be the that cease fire that you referred to is not confirmed by

israel but the bit talked about on the gaza side of the equation has apparently held since it went into force at 1130 local time on monday night there was an earlier announcement from islamic jihad earlier that evening saying that it completed what it called its military response to israel but that it would stand ready to respond to any further israeli air strikes israel said that it was striking against the the earlier rockets there were further exchanges for some hours after that initial announcement by islamic jihad but now it does appear that things are holding certainly some of the restrictions imposed on daily life in southern israel here have been lifted roads have been reopened trains are running again feels like this one are allowed to be farmed with express permission if close as this one is to the border from the israeli military some restrictions remain in place though schools are canceled so tens of thousands of students aren't going to

school there are still restrictions as well on the border with gaza in terms of border crossings cargo is not going in fishing has been closed down entirely israel exerting a blockade on all fishing and only humanitarian cases being allowed in and out of the erez crossing between israel and gaza and harry just take us through and explain to us if you can how this messes with what happened on sunday nights across the border in syria. well yes that was after there was a. barrage of rocket fire from islamic jihad earlier on sunday evening islamic jihad saying that it was carrying out revenge for an israeli shooting attack on 2 palestinian islamic jihad fighters which israel's who israel said were planting an i.e.d. explosive device on the border and then israel moving

a bulldozer in to try to and succeeded in taking one of those bodies away under its policy of trying to hold fighters bodies to use as bargaining chips for israeli soldiers bodies that israel wants back after all of that there was this strike untypically by israel not just the fact that it happened but also that israel trumpeted it. on the islamic jihad interests inside syria to islamic jihad fighters were killed 4 iranians it's been reported in in those strikes and that led to further calls for vengeance from islamic jihad and a much bigger conflagration and cross border exchange throughout the course of monday now though it does seem just a few days out from the israeli election that there are enough interests on both sides with news release and indeed from hamas which sat this one out as it did in november and has been negotiating a longer term deal with israel it seems there are enough interest on both sides to

try and quieten things down given their domestic interests but we wait to see if that holds in the coming hours we'll leave it there are many thanks. the united nations is warning of a bloodbath as the fighting in the northwest of syria moves closer to makeshift camps for internally displaced families opposition fighters backed by turkey and gaining some ground in southern province but a face in attacks by government troops supported by russian airpower printed as more. in the cold winter of northwest syria and underground cave is the only refuge for these displaced families some find shelter in abandoned prison cells they have nowhere else to go the russian backed government offensive to recapture it live from rebels has forced nearly a 1000000 people from their homes when. the russian shelling forced us to leave our holders we took what we could and came to this prison we decided to stay in

a cell which is about 20 square meters and we divide it between 3 families we still need things like blankets and food for trapped families this concrete border wall between turkey and syria is the last frontier between safety and government troops small children try to skew the high walls but cannot get in. turkey hosts about 4000000 syrian refugees and says it can't cope with more. the regime is advancing from the east and from the south people are now completely surrounded and there's been a lot of displacement people are forced to go to the closest point to the turkish border there's a border wall there are tenser 50 meters away from the turkish wall roll freight. on the front line turkey backed rebels are fighting government advances and opposition fighters have recaptured. a town on the strategic

m 4 highway between syria's commercial hub aleppo and the coastal city of latakia but government forces are closing in from the south syrian activists say the aim seems to be to control the m 4 highway that runs through major rebel strongholds and that means bloodier battles and more civilian displacement the u.n. and aid groups are calling for a cease fire the crisis really demands immediate action from the security council from member states around the world because this is a crisis now on a scale that we've not seen throughout the entire syrian war another doc chapter in the 9 year civil war as preston bashar al assad's forces keep pushing ahead for a final victory. al-jazeera the united nations world food program says more than half of zimbabwe's 15000000 people are in need of food aid it's one of the world's least food secure nations

a half percent on the opening of trade on tuesday was toyotas now the reason why toyota shares are doing so badly is that it's been hit really hard by this virus it relies on spare parts made in factories in china and those factories are closed because of course the whole global supply chain has been severely disrupted not just for carmakers like toyota hi ondine in south korea but also for big corporations like nike and apple and the u.n. and egyptian brokered ceasefire has come into effect between israel and the palestinian group islamic jihad that follows 2 days of cross border by. was on the headlines up next it's the stream also used to. work to al-jazeera english since its launch as a principal presenter and as a correspondent with any breaking news story we want to hear from those people who would normally not get their voices heard on an international news channel one
