take on president trump in november. and further violence in india over a controversial citizenship critics say police haven't done enough to stop writing in the capital. welcome to the program the world health organization has warned that the coronavirus epidemic is escalating rapidly and action must be taken quickly to prevent it from becoming a pandemic european health ministers have held emergency talks in italy where the virus has spread south from called dog no to tuscany and sicily there are also confirmed cases in croatia austria france switzerland and germany with all with links to the italian outbreak well the number of cases continues to rise in iraq as does concern over the government's handling of the epidemic bad that's after the country's deputy health minister the man leading the fight again. the illness seen

here on the left confirmed he's been diagnosed with the virus because somebody better for non-criminal coronary for the i just wanted to tell you that i carries a corona virus as well yesterday i had a fever and late last night the results of my preliminary test was positive since last night i've isolated myself a while ago i was informed that my test has been confirmed and it's positive my general condition is not bad i assure you that with the efforts of the health ministry officials and with the people support in the next few weeks we will defeat the virus to rest assured of that. well it's a different picture in china and that's where the outbreak began in the rate of new infections there remains in decline and could patients have begun returning home and americans have been told to brace themselves for what health officials are calling the inevitable spread of the virus throughout the united states well u.s. president donald trump is ask congress to approve $2500000000.00 of extra funding to fight the virus it comes as the country's health secretary warned they don't

have enough medical supplies for an outbreak white house correspondent kimberly help it has more. on the defense the trumpet ministration is facing growing criticism it's not done enough to contain the spread of corona virus in the united states i'm deeply concerned that we are way behind the a fondness at a hearing on capitol hill on tuesday the us health and human services secretary said development of a vaccine for the virus may still be a year away he openly admitted the trouble house needs 2500000000 dollars in emergency funding from congress to fight the spread of the global outbreak so we do have in the strategic national stockpile ventilators we have masks we have enough for part will of course not or we wouldn't be asking for a supplemental to seek more money to procure more of that for hours later a top u.s. health official issued this ominous warning now it's not so much a question of if this will happen anymore but rather more

a question of exactly when this will happen and how many people in this country will become infected now even members of president trump's own republican party are questioning a top u.s. border official about whether its efforts to contain the virus are even adequate but you can't tell us how many your models aren't to surprising. no senator again i would i would defer you to the health and human services for that so just like you go to check on that wrapping up a trip in india president trump insisted his administration is prepared and tried to downplay fears you may ask about the corona virus which is. you know very well under control in our country. we have very few people with it and the people that have it are or in all cases i have not heard anything other the administration says one of its biggest challenges is data and whether countries

like iran and china are being truthful about the number of people infected china permitted its own foreign journalists and medical personnel to speak and investigate freely chinese officials and other nations would have been far better prepared to address the challenge this as the u.s. centers for disease control is now warning americans to brace for disruptions in their daily lives as the chrono virus is expected to spread to communities across the united states can really help it al-jazeera washington. well as we mentioned earlier the number of coronavirus cases in iran is rising 15 people have died there that's the highest death toll outside of china and now that the deputy health minister is himself down with a virus it's raising more questions about the true extent of the outbreak in iran sebag has more. yesterday he gave a press conference standing next to the government spokesperson denying that 50 people had died he had even said that even if it was half that number he would hand in his resignation but he was seen wiping stretch from his forehead people are

questioning whether his condition is ok back yesterday because he was showing symptoms now we're in a situation where he's been in contact with the government spokesperson that room is full of journalists and politicians the government spokesperson has contact with the cabinet including the president president hassan rouhani so we're potentially in a situation where the government of iran the senior members of the government have come in contact with somebody with the coronavirus and could very well be infected by it at the same time president rouhani spoke this morning he seemed to downplay the spread of the virus he said it wasn't as bad as the spread of the flu virus the country has faced in the past to ask people not to panic and to follow the advice of the health minister well the deputy minister of the health ministry has been infected at the same time president hasn't spoken again he said that it's part of the enemy plot to create panic and shut down the country and they won't be shutting

down the country and he said life would turn to turn back to normal by saturday unless there is an exceptional case now i'm not sure whether you consider the coronavirus to be an exceptional case but not many people seem to believe that life will turn back to normal for u.s. markets have fallen sharply for a 2nd straight day amid fears over the spread of the virus wall street's 3 major indices 3 percent on tuesday the day after the s. and p. $500.00 on the dow jones suffered the biggest day in losses in 2 years. has been crunching the numbers in new york. there's not necessarily outright panic here on wall street but there is certainly a lot of worry that is closely inching towards panic let me just give you a couple more of the numbers that we've been seeing there are $505.00 stocks on the s. and p. 562 percent of those are in correction territory now what does that mean that

means one correction territory it means that the stock has dropped at least 10 percent we've also seen that the dow is the lowest it's been since early november and if you look at some of the individual stocks that are directly tied to travel because no a lot of people are not traveling now because of course on a virus fears things such as master card down 7 percent bisa 5 percent hurts the rental car company 14 percent drop marriott hotel chain 12 percent drop these are huge numbers these are just a few of them i could go on and on forever with the individual stock drops but things not looking good here as wall street is very worried about how this coronavirus is going to affect the economy and the outbreak is dampening investor confidence in asia it's also threatening to disrupt global supply chains adrian brown reports now from hong kong. on monday the w.h.o. said that they didn't feel it was necessary to declare

a pandemic at the moment but they are concerned that many countries simply aren't prepared for that eventuality and that sentiment has been feeding into investor confidence here in asia markets in tokyo and hong kong were both down on choose day shares in car manufacturers have been falling that's of course because many of them are reliant on chinese suppliers and many chinese firms factories remain closed they've been closed now for more than a month and they could remain closed for several more weeks because of course the the global supply chain has been thrown into chaos in that vein the french finance minister today has been talking about this he said that the virus had been a game changer for globalisation and that it was time to rethink the global supply chains because he said it would be in his words unreasonable and unthinkable for that to happen in other words for the world to continue relying on china in the way

that it has particularly for things like pharmaceuticals now state media in china is reporting that china could begin testing a new vaccine in several weeks they say that a professor at a university in the northeast of the country has been experimenting with a vaccine he's taken for oral doses with no side effects but other experts have been saying in the past couple of weeks that actually we are several months off from a vaccine being developed because of course a new vaccine would require extensive clinical trials to ensure that it was safe. hosni mubarak the egyptian president who was forced from power during the arab spring uprisings has died aged 91 he passed away in a cairo hospital where he'd recently undergone surgery al-jazeera was nor birdman in looks back on the later gyptian route his life and legacy. maintained

a grip of power in egypt for 3 decades. until finally in 2011 the people had enough millions took to the streets hundreds of killed but after 18 days this. president mohamed hosni mubarak has the cited wave the office of the president of the public. the crowds reacted as they heard the news that brought the man with an iron fist down. the military council took the reins of power but it was from the bullet train the mubarak had originally risen to power. a former air force chief in 1973 he led an air campaign the regain the sinai peninsula from israel it has been a humiliating loss in the 967 war president anwar sadat's made him vice president. mubarak was just meters away from sadat when

he was shot dead in 1980. 8 days later. became president almost immediately he implemented emergency laws giving the state sweeping powers of arrest and cousin basic freedoms that would remain in place for his entire presidency there were a number of assassination attempts like this one during a visit to ethiopia in the mid 990 s. nearly 60 people were killed in luxor. mubarak cracked down rounding up thousands of suspects from the inside many egyptians considered his rule oppressive although he won 4 elections there were allegations of fraud but he continued to impress mattie in the global political arena as he made international diplomacy

a cornerstone of his rule. to secure a steady flow of oil supplies into world markets and burger deals between the palestinians and the israelis the americans enlisted support of 2 major allies saudi arabia and egypt the saudi kingdom use its financial power and egypt under mubarak use its political leverage to influence arab league decisions the strategy paid off and he received crucial u.s. military aid with billions of dollars. but unflinching western support from the bark soon faded when the arab spring began mubarak was arrested and charged with corruption and abuse of power in 2012 he was sentenced to life in prison the failing to stop the killing of hundreds of protest says after a retrial mubarak was acquitted in 2017. but his legacy has

enjoyed with the current regime led by another military figure. using similar hardline tactics to crackdown on dissent in order to stay in power. while several leaders have reacted to mubarak's death egypt's current president has praised mubarak's role during the 1973 conflict with israel. the war restore dignity and pride to the arab nation palestinian president mahmoud abbas president barak supports the palestinian cause for the palestinian people and changing their freedom and independence and israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. as a great leader so. on behalf of the people of israel i wish to express deep sorrow over the death of president hosni mubarak he was a personal friend of mine a leader to lead his people to peace and security to peace with israel i met him

many times and i was impressed with his commitment and we will continue to walk the . joint paths i wish to send condolences to president out see see the mubarak family and all the egyptian people. take a look back at the revolution that ended hosting about its reign for. the mubarak's death comes almost 9 years to the day since he was forced out of office by an historic uprising for 18 straight days egyptians from all walks of life were on the streets demanding the resignation of the man who had altered practically for 30 years the 2011 uprising had begun on january the 25th at 8 that the mubarak government has dedicated to celebrate egypt's police forces but for millions of egyptians there was nothing to celebrate mubarak's feared security apparatus says knocked up political prisoners tortured detainees and in several cases killed them i will box response to these protests was to crackdown on the demonstrators police

snipers trained their weapons on the pound. and then this. flags riding camels charged towards the protesters several 100 people were killed in suez alexandria and this route to become iconic tahir square i thought i but the people's resolve proved to be greater in a unique demonstration of unity secularists liberals islamists men and women young and old turned to hear square in the central cairo into a protest site that gripped the world's attention. mubarak tried to appease them 1st by reshuffling his cabinets and then by promising not to stand for another term he pleaded with the youth to go back to their homes and promised to listen to their demands but it wasn't enough as mubarak's speech was projected on to screens at protests sites across the country demonstrators threw their shoes at them and shouted we are not believing he must leave mubarak's grip on power largely depended

on the army it was his military career that propelled him to power so when the army decided they would no longer supports him it was announced that he was stepping down. although you know many revolutionaries believed that meant that they had won but the child that had been ringing else in the streets of egypt for those 18 days was the people demond the form of the regime and what those revolutionaries didn't realize was that while mubarak may have full and the regime was to remain even stronger. or just you know. lots more to come on the news hour including afghanistan's recalled its 1st coronavirus case but can the country's health care system cope with a possible outbreak. major defense deal agreed but differences remain of a trade the highlights of u.s. president or donald trump is because it to india and support one senior and then pick official says organizers are in a race against time to make this year's games happen due to the corona virus

outbreak. now in the u.s. democratic presidential hopefuls are about to take part in a debate in the state of south carolina which will hold primaries on saturday the front runner bernie sanders is expecting challengers and all sides even the former vice president joe biden is ahead in the polls there the other candidates michael bloomberg people to jail amy club which are elizabeth warren and tom styer are all hoping for an upset victory or a strong 2nd place finish to breathe fresh life into their campaign let's go to and the gallagher who's live for us now from charleston south carolina and he said bernie sanders is expected to come under fierce attack by the other candidates tonight tell us why. well that is the expectation simply is because he is the front runner that's how he's emerged from his pretty

decisive victory in nevada early may have given his opponents some good material in the last few hours in an interview just last night bernie sanders was saying that he believed fidel castro did good things in cuba referring particularly into the literacy program there that means that bernie has come under a great deal of fire from members of his own party i think you'll see the other candidates using that kind of material to attack the man that is the front runner roman they're also going to be asking him questions about how he will pay for his universal health care program so i think you will expect to see bernie attacked quite a lot tonight not could be good practice for bernie sanders it's. does well that may meet and that may give voters confidence that he can take on donald trump if he does win the nomination of course it's very early days here in south carolina and the primaries take place here on saturday and he let's talk about joe biden for a 2nd i mean his campaign so far has been extremely sluggish is this make or break for him do you think well i mean south carolina is the

1st test of the african-american vote about 60 percent of democratic voters here are black and historically joe biden's enjoyed a great deal of support among those voters but it's steadily being eaten away there is a generational gap here younger black millennial is like bernie sanders tom styer the billionaire has been spending and that salute fortune here all of which is eating away at joe biden support support he has been able to depend on in the past now what analysts are saying here is joe biden can't just win here in south carolina he has to win big his campaign is running out of money so in many ways i think south carolina is make or break for the former vice president or to in the galaxy in charleston south carolina andy thank you for that let's bring in michael isikoff he's chief investigative correspondent of yahoo news and joins us live now from washington d.c. michael so several of the candidates have been attacking bernie sanders with t.v.

ads ahead of the debate did they seem south carolina as a chance to slow down bernie's momentum going into super tuesday. i think they are hoping that tonight's debate will slow down bernie sanders momentum this is in many ways the most consequential debate that we've had yet and it may be the last chance to really put the brakes on what a lot of people in the democratic party say looks like a bernie sanders train that is running straight to milwaukee to get that nomination . you know super tuesday is enormous it's a quarter of the delegates will be selected. next week and that includes you know states of california texas massachusetts these are big states with big chunks of delegates and i think a lot of the democratic rivals were spooked by just how strong sanders performance

in nevada was he won going away nearly 20 points or 20 points over joe biden in 2nd place ok blowing away the rest of the candidates so this is this may this is make or break for all the democratic candidates let's talk about michael bloomberg if we can i mean he was a late start in the race but he was ripped apart in nevada wasn't especially by elizabeth warren how crucial is the night's debate for him. oh you know essential because yes it was a pathetic performance by bloomberg he had no response to the attacks on him the one you know bright side for berlin byrd tonight is that the guns won't likely be aimed at him so much as they'll be aimed at sanders but bloomberg has to reassert himself show that he can be a forceful presence on that debate stage can go up against donald trump something that he did not look like he was prepared to do in the last debate so yeah if he's

got to prove his mettle now he's still got that you know vast you know checkbook writing checks to pay ok with this enormous t.v. barrage but it may be worthless if he can sort of self in this debate michael let's us run through joe biden because presumably he'll be hoping that a good performance in south carolina tonight might resurrect what's been unlocked the last campaign from him yes absolutely and while biden has done ok in the in the more recent debates he hasn't yet dominated any of the debates he hasn't yet shown that he is up to the job of taking on the president and that's you know this may be his last chance to do that now south carolina is obviously crucial that's that's the real make or break for biden but i think as your correspondent pointed out before we started

he's got to win big there basically biden you know it's interesting because all the other candidates knowing super tuesday is around the corner have been flying all over the country for rallies biden has been spending all his time in south carolina he knows this is it for him michael isikoff thank you very much indeed for sharing your thoughts with us thank you thank you. to india now where the number of people killed a number rest in new delhi has risen to 13 more than 150 have been injured in 3 days of unrest over the country's new citizenship law seen by many as discriminatory against muslims nationalists hindu protesters in the northeast of the capital denied provoking the muslim community there tony bertie reports now from a suburb of jaffer about. the suburbs of geoffrey bad in belgium in northeast delhi have become battlegrounds in the fight against india's citizens

amendment law for the 1st successive day security forces fought with protesters both for and against the law. this man says he was shot in the foot by police shotgun pellets why when nobody but i was standing with my mother and sisters protesting peacefully when police and people with the mob started firing repeatedly they fired tear gas one person was shot in the chest and another one in the hand. another wounded youth who sped away on a motorbike it's incidents like these which have drawn thousands of young muslims to join the protest they are angry at the lack of control by the government and are suspicious of the police we i discussed the police from police because police supporting damn police supporting in those not muslims being very fire the police also 5 on them was only with them on muslims only not into the police not supporting a muslims. police are being criticised for not intervening and stopping the

violence against muslims often simply standing by and watching. videos on social media seem to show police helping hindu nationalists collect rocks and other images of officers apparently beating muslims. on policeman says so you want your freedom and then beats him. other images show mosque being vandalized a muslim property being damaged hindus also complain that their temples are being damaged and their property destroyed by muslims images on social media are always difficult to verify who what where or when but in this situation is adding to the belief of muslims here that these attacks are both co-ordinated and with the compliance of the police. on choose a thousands of armed police including special forces and rapid reaction units were on patrol in a show of strength but muslims here don't feel protected they feel threatened especially for the youth. the number of those killed and injured in clashes is

rising and india's leaders seem to have no solution the state has created a situation of violence and allowed it to malady. it is easy that i'm i'm i it's unfathomable to allow your own people to die like that takes a certain kind of heat on this area has become ground 0 in this divisive fight now in its 3rd month and many fear the turmoil is going to get worse before it gets better tony berkeley al-jazeera jaffer bad northeastern. well the violence was taking place as u.s. president donald trump wrapped up his 1st trip to india while the 36 hour visit had plenty of pageantry little progress was made on the 2 countries differences on trade and as with piron reports in the capital new delhi for. donald trump's 1st visit to india's capital coincided with the worst violent protests against the government citizenship law since it was passed in december before he arrived white

house staff said the president would raise concerns but promised in the day the modi about the critics condemned as anti muslim. but didn't seem too concerned when he spoke to reporters the prime minister was incredible on what he wants people to have religious freedom and very strongly he said that in india india they have. worked very hard to have great and open religious freedom tom said he didn't discuss the latest in 3 months of protests happening just 15 kilometers away in the suburbs of the capital he was keen to emphasise the sate of $3000000000.00 worth of military equipment to india even though the deal was expected we expanded our defense cooperation with agreements for india to purchase more than $3000000000.00 of advanced american military equipment the saide of u.s. military helicopters was the one big takeaway from the trip. we discussed every aspect of our partnership including defense security energy strategic partnership

and technology cooperation growing defense and security cooperation is a vital part of our strategic partnership but there was no progress on the biggest sticking point between 2 of the world's largest economies a comprehensive trade deal we've had a massive massive deficit but a large deficit $30000000000.00 with india it's now down to $24000000000.00 because of what we've been doing but still that's too high we should have a $24000000000.00 deficit both leaders said they were hopeful of reaching a deal soon the us president returns home boasting about selling billions of dollars worth of military hardware to secure american jobs 9 months before his bid for reelection while india's prime minister received nothing but. praise from trump when he's facing criticism at home and aboard his hindu nationalist government citizenship bill and mistreatment of indian muslims elisabeth pran of al-jazeera.

well both the us president on india's prime minister have been using social media during trump's visit to donna support from followers and showcase their relationship as more indians greeted the u.s. president online with the hash tag trump prime minister narendra modi has the most viewed tweet welcoming the trump family this was seen more than $2000000.00 times and with tens of millions of followers each leader shared their meeting openly on twitter describing the occasion as unparalleled an electric one user tweeting al-jazeera is the stream saying it seems to be a grand meeting of egos will be interesting to see who strokes whose ego best and gets the most out of it for their respective countries on september trump posted modi in houston in the us state of texas using the hash tag howdy to promote that visit many saw both visits as trump's attempt to secure more indian american votes and his reelection bid in november fewer than 20 percent of indian americans

supported trump in his initial campaign to win the white house retreated photos such as this one here showing his support for indians worldwide the affection between the 2 leaders palpable their embrace went viral followed by tweets about how much they love and support each other's country but did the trip go as planned on the times of india newspaper site the trending story focuses on the latest violent protests in delhi against a citizenship law that critics say discriminates against muslims the trends on social media have followed suit overshadowing the 2nd and final day of trump's visit. time for another short break here on al-jazeera when we come back once thriving syrian areas of become ghost towns as the government presses on with a major offensive. and it's for the hour for the former head away champion while there's planning for his defeat against tyson fury or not stay with us.

warned of the coronavirus epidemic is rapidly escalating and action must be taken quickly to prevent it from becoming a pandemic follows the confirmation of a number of new cases in europe and the middle east. iran's deputy health minister seen here on the left has been diagnosed with a virus he was seen coughing and sweating during a news conference on monday. she had been leading iran's fight against the outbreak . and egypt announced 3 days of mourning after its longtime former president hosni mubarak died at the age of 91 barak who for 30 years that was forced from power in 2007 following mass protests. to afghanistan now where health care infrastructure is already under strain because of decades of violence fears of a corona virus outbreak put all sources on alert public gatherings have been banned but the border with iran remains open and as how to abdul hamid reports now from kabul an open border has a very real potential to allow those infected to come right in the. first to

spectate afghan coronavirus cases are held in the isolation ward of iraq hospital defense confirmed patient a 35 year old man who just returned from the epicenter of the outbreak in iran medici quote i'm not sure that we don't have proper means to deal with patients the medical staff is also in danger the virus can be transferred to us during the check up we don't have proper gloves and masks or protective closed this is a very big risk to us. detection is slow. sent to kabul for testing health ministry officials say they are prepared in case the outbreak spreads located. in provincial hospitals more than 30 in. regional hospitals but. like any other country of the world afghanistan is also vulnerable. positive cases and iran has increased vulnerability of. this hospital for communicable diseases in

kabul donated by japan has been designated to treat coronavirus patients in the capital but it's a far cry from the reality in the rest of the country the health system here is in poor condition and can barely cope with. this shortage of everything from medicine to equipment to train nurses and doctors and even there are not enough facilities around the country and about 50 percent of afghans live under the poverty line like everything else here health care has suffered from food decades of war there are fewer than 3 doctors for every 10000 afghans and one bed 220000 people in some remote areas the shortage is even worse the province of herat has been declared a medical emergency area where dean calls and other places of public gatherings are temporarily shut but border crossings with iran have reopened after today closure

thousands of workers traders religious pilgrims and refugees crossing back and forth daily. because the border is open and people are coming from iran we cannot detect any positive carrier of the virus the screening teams cannot do their job effectively they can only inform about the symptoms and bring awareness he is in a trading route linking afghanistan to iran and beyond. it is also from where the corona virus spreads throughout afghanistan as several more suspected cases are tested areas far from the border with iran that have meat. to syria now where government and russian air strikes have killed at least 10 people sheltering in schools across in the province the last remaining rebel stronghold the white helmets rescue group says at least 8 schools were targeted with cluster bombs on tuesday there are fears the death toll will rise the u.n.

is warning of a bloodbath this fighting in the northwest move closer to makeshift camps for internally displaced families. well nearly 900000 people have been forced from their homes by the fighting in them since december there stranded on the border with turkey and of nowhere left to run or hide bar reports from. turkish border with syria. this is an unusually eerie quiet in what was once a street bustling with activity people have left. is one of many ghost villages and towns in and rural. syrian government troops have stepped up their military offensive. shelling residential areas as the advance. of also pay was among thousands forced out of must. by the villagers he stayed in also.

feeling hopeless and angry here we turn to muster almost saying he'd rather die where he was born. or used to walk the alleyways every day met my neighbors and have tea together now i do the daily walk alone everyone has gone. as fighting continues the humanitarian situation deteriorates and civilians carry on their journey hoping for shelter and war. a journey that turned into a tragedy for one man his wife his daughter and granddaughter. my brother mustafa was desperate for a tent a tailor provided my limb fabric but because my brother had no experience the tent he built didn't hear went to lucia they all suffocated to that in their sleep.

blames the international community for the death of his brother's family he says his failure to act in syria was a betrayal. i wot is most of us. he was with his parents the night they died but had to go to another village to bring back for a niche they had left behind. and never forget that night my father called me to help him install a stone i remember my niece came to me because of the called and i was still under shock he will carry with him the memory of his parents and his brother who was killed in a war a few years earlier. like the millions of other syrians grappling with loss and despair. for the hundreds of thousands of displaced syrians that exodus mcentee knew for as long as the government funds does not come for turkey and russia have failed to agree on a ceasefire and if there is no ceasefire those stranded on the border fear they may

be the next target. on turkish border with syria the un's human rights council in geneva has been discussing the situation in syria our diplomatic editor james bays is there and says russia has been defending its actions in libya . russia's foreign minister has been speaking at a high level meeting of the human rights council here in geneva he defended his country's military operations in the lead in support of the assad government saying they were fighting extremism and terrorism there is though great concern among the humanitarian community i spoke to one of the un's top humanitarian officials covering syria mark cuts well this is been a mass exodus of people in fact it's the biggest single displacement of civilians we've seen throughout this entire 9 year war and it's just continuing day after day
