asked. the world. at least 18 people have been killed during protests in india as police in new delhi are accused of helping attackers target muslims. hello i'm sam he's a than this is al just live from doha also coming up warnings the worst is yet to come in the global corona virus outbreak the number factions in south korea crosses 1000. this is a rapidly escalating epidemic in different places that we've got to tackle super fast to prevent a pandemic. form of vice president joe biden faced with what is considered

a do or die primary contest in south carolina lashes out of front runner bernie sanders democratic the. egypt announces 3 days of national mourning us hospital barak who ruled the country for 3 decades dies. 3 days of violence in india's capital has left at least 18 people dead more than $150.00 have been injured in one of the most violent riots in a decade of the fighting began in muslim majority areas in delhi it started after a local leader from prime minister narendra modi's party called for protesters to vacate the area tony bertie reports from new delhi. the suburbs of jeffrey bad in belgium bora 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 would 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 discuss the police from police because police supporting damn police support the hindus not muslims we fear fire the police also 5 on them is only with them on muslims only not into the police do not support me and 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 manifest. it is easier than i thought and . i like that it thought of it. this area has become ground 0 in this divisive fight now the month and many theer the turmoil is going to get worse before it gets better. tony burke joins us now live from new delhi and tony are we expecting the death toll to rise any further yes some of the prediction is it will go up much higher before the day is out there are hundreds of people in hospital the problem is getting the exact number because the injured were taken to several different hospitals so each hospital is giving their own information out circulating it is a bit of a bit of a muddle but it does show one clear thing that this is being an extremely violent

set of 3 days the most violent period that delhi has seen in decades and it underlines just the depth of the feeling but also on both sides of this sensitive argument there are concerns that this war will explode now the original kind of protest in this northeasterly was about the sit in of some muslim women around jaffer abaddon they blocked a road now the hindu nationalists were very complaining about this and they threatened that if the police did not move them they would step in and that's what they started doing the police moved in last night and for the protection of the women they agreed to move so they have moved to a different site the problem is this sets a kind of dangerous precedent because on the hindu side they may see this as a victory so what's to stop them doing that elsewhere and also the whole issues about this citizens' amendment law are becoming clouded now originally this was a country wide protest with hindus and muslims all across the religious divide complaining about civil rights issue of the problem in the moment in northeast

delhi it's becoming a religious one and that's what people and civil rights advocates don't want to happen or a turn of birth of and thanks for that. well world is ation is warning the coronavirus epidemic is escalating rapidly it says action must be taken quickly to prevent it from becoming a pandemic this is a rapidly escalating epidemic in different places that we've got to tackle super fast to prevent a pandemic it's actually we're trying to demonstrate is where this goes is within the control of our decisions to apply this kind of rigor and approach to this disease south korea's health ministry has confirmed 169 more infections bringing the total to 1146 and in china there were

52 deaths on tuesday that's the lowest daily toll in 3 weeks european health ministers of held emergency talks in italy where the virus has spread south from cold dollars to tuscany in sicily cases have also been confirmed in croatia austria france switzerland and germany its links to the outbreak in italy the number of cases is rising in iran along with concern over the government's handling of the epidemic and so after the deputy health minister was diagnosed with the virus seen here on the left he had been leading the fight against the illness americans are also been told to prepare themselves for what the health officials call the imv inevitable spread of the virus throughout the u.s. robert bryce joins us live from seoul so it's crossed the 1000 mark is there a concern there are a feeling or a wire that this is now getting even more out of control.

well the government has given repeated warnings all this week that really it's a point of inflection that basically the next few days will be crucial that if this is going to be contained if it's going to remain down in the southeast of the country which is where these clusters are where most infections have taken place then it will be as a as a result of the measures being taken now and over the next few days but if we continue to have these spikes in the numbers of people being infected then it does seem to be inevitable that eventually by next week or the week after we could well be seeing the infections across communities nationwide that is the concern here yes definitely there is widespread concern you do not sense there's any real panic amongst people but certainly there is a widespread worry and even a fear amongst people when you talk to them about what might happen next and it is

changing the way people live their lives here you have people working from home people students are working online rather than going into classes people aren't going out as much to restaurants to cinema as we have some places of work especially down in the southeast of the country factories and so on have had to close and then you have these single incidents and they crop up which we people have not seen before for example just today wednesday one of the biggest telecom providers here s.k. telecom they discovered that one of their members of staff contracted the coronavirus they took the unusual step of closing down their headquarters building sending people home to work from home while they disinfect the whole place and it'll be closed for the rest of the week so where the country is going through extraordinary times and talking of extraordinary times i understand the health services are extremely worn out in places like they go through the situation there

. rather it still is the epicenter that's where all the medical resources are being directed at the moment because we have those clusters down there it's an effort that's been led by the prime minister who's effectively moved his office down there to oversee the efforts being taken and one of the most important priorities at the moment is getting more staff in there as you said people have been working around the clock they are exhausted down there so they are calling for more volunteers to go down to that area they're also looking at other measures they can take nationally to try to improve the situation for example supplies of facemasks places you go around seoul a lot of the pharmacies are running short or running out of face must so the government is taking steps to keep more supplies here rather than have those things exported finally the government is having to deal with a growing list of countries and territories now up to 24 who are basically lining

up to close the door on south korea imposing travel restrictions on south koreans traveling or trying to travel to to other places so there is a real concern about that about becoming increasingly isolated and amongst the places they were imposing travel restrictions ironically is in mainland china some of the cities there are imposing restrictions on south koreans wanting to visit. thanks so much rob mcbride their u.s. democratic presidential hopefuls of held the fiery debate in south carolina 4 days before the primary was also the final debate before super tuesday next week gallacher live for us from charleston south carolina how did it go what the pundits saying. well bernie goetz patted the appropriate top lloyd headline and this wasn't to be unexpected bernie sanders is

the front runner at the moment he must have been expecting the other candidates to attack him and they attacked him on all the issues from how we will pay for his health care plan his record on gun safety and all sorts of issues bernie sanders handled it all fairly well he seemed to be on his back foot for for much of the debate but it shows the importance of the south carolina primary this is one of the most diverse states that comes just before super tuesday is a big test of the african-american vote has 60 percent of democratic voters in this state are african-american so i think as things get down to the wire as we get towards super tuesday in which 14 states get to vote all the candidates want to eat up the air time and at times this debate seemed almost chaotic everybody was talking over the top of everybody else elizabeth warren in particular had. not much love lost with that mayor bloomberg the former mayor of new york so it was kind of a messy debate at times but most candidates are the leading ones seem to hold their

own more and they gallica their thanks for that person ahead on how to sarah will be discussing the downfall and legacy of former egyptian leader hosni mubarak died at age 91. hello and welcome back has take a look at weather conditions across the levant and middle east region the great mass of clover a frontal system is giving some significant rainfall and indeed snow for across parts of iraq through into iran in fact temperatures in iran at just 5 degrees during wednesday baghdad up at 20 buses and then moving further on to wards the east so clearing away during the day but the front is subject to introducing cooler

air across the region so kuwait looking at highs of just 19 degrees by time we get through to thursday the pressure change will be such that we're going to see quite a decent shemale developing so windy down through the gulf region just picking our temperatures back here in doha to 23 degrees celsius but it should be fine on the red sea with very light winds here and a fine day in mecca with a mix from there of 32 degrees heading into central parts of africa and we've got to heavy showers as you would expect for this time here across southern parts of kenya and also into tanzania as we move on through into southern portions of africa heavy showers for more eastern parts of namibia and also for angola as we head down in society africa weather conditions to the bit make central areas looking quite unsettled should be a fine day in cape town and it should be largely sunny in johannesburg with highs of $27.00.

programs. or a serious mistake. fishel intelligence is slowly invading every aspect of our lives . but very few of us really understand its capabilities for better or worse. in a new documentary al-jazeera explores the impact of a are accessing vast amounts of our personal data data land on al-jazeera. and the. world. was. a come back you're watching al-jazeera time to recap our headlines now at least 18

people have now been killed in 3 days of violence in india's capital more than 150 others have been injured in riots over the country's divisive new citizenship law. the number of coronavirus cases this serves to more than 1000 in south korea most of the new infections were reported in and around the southeastern city of daegu that's the center of the outbreak the latest cases include one u.s. soldier is the 1st american service member to contract the virus. the world health organization meanwhile is warning the coronavirus epidemic is rapidly escalating it says action must be taken quickly to prevent it from becoming a pandemic it follows the confirmation of a number of new cases in europe and the middle east. oh back to the democratic debate before the critical south carolina primary in the u.s. thomas gift. of political science at the university college in london joins us by

skype from stanford california good to have you with us no doubt you were watching the debates to who won well i'm not sure if there was a clear winner in tonight or at least i'm not sure if a fundamentally changed the dynamics. are a lot of i mean where do you stand are you going to hear national runners. most the attacks but i think you would challenge you to well you know some of it answered by doubt will make the critics who are concerned about who or what my sense of the primary race about your line are you still very much a 2 way in 5 and sanders had a lead in that. inning but it's. you i mean it's very much an. how is talking of joe biden did he do as well as his supporters is

hopes at this critical point for him to really turn things around the do or die a moment did he pull it off. joe biden i think his performance was solid if not extremely memorable his strategy simple bury the standing as really hands down the electability he's trying to conjure up this knowledge of that many democrats how ominous administration you just tried to 1st train and. significant experience in domestic and foreign policy so all of those claims were on display tonight and i don't know if he's kind of given not affirmative message to voters that forward looking message order that's really going to resonate i really do think that south carolina is a must win for him and it will change the concours of the race i think significantly give him some momentum going into super tuesday and also a challenge this motion. and challenge front runner when those

super tuesday then do you think. well i think super tuesday is basically going to be a make or break for a lot of these candidates and so it's sander is able to win south carolina or do very well in south carolina i think the potential to almost run the table and super tuesday for super tuesday is a very diverse array of states different in terms of their demographics but given the momentum that fandor has at this point if he's perceived as a front runner sometimes these dynamics take on a life of their own and momentum that there's a powerful force and also that it's difficult sometimes to to move on so we'll see how this turns out you know certainly not over by any stretch of the imagination we've only have 3 primaries up until this point but super tuesday is where we'll

really get a sense of which candidates are viable candidates and all right thanks so much and you. egypt is marking the death of its former leader hosni mubarak he died in a cairo hospital on tuesday aged 91 a military funeral is planned for wednesday followed by 3 days of mourning barak ruled egypt for 3 decades before he was forced from power during the 2011 arab spring uprising warburton manley looks back on his life and legacy i. maintained a firm grip on 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 cited

a 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 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 1990. 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 on rounding up thousands of suspects from the inside many egyptians considered its rule oppressive although he won 4 elections there were allegations of fraud but he continued to impress many 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 brokered deals between the palestinians and the israelis the americans enlisted support of 2 major allies saudi arabia and egypt the saudi kingdom used 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 a barak soon faded with 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 protesters after a retrial mubarak was acquitted in 2017. but his legacy has endured with the current regime led by another military figure. using similar hardline tactics to crackdown on dissent in order to stay in power. or join me now is the head of policy analysis of the arab center for research and

policy studies good to have you with us had a controversial past how will he be remembered do you think particularly by those inside egypt well i think sam if you look at the life you can see almost a century of middle eastern history starting with the established. of the state of his that in 1938 that obviously conflict the 1956 war 967 war one which was the organic actually participated in 1073 he was the chief of the air force. his role actually became only prominent after the end of the cold war because he managed to an extent to bring egypt out of the cold you know certainly that egypt actually was suspended in the arab league of nation in 1998 in the back of that up summit after signing live close a nice agreement with those are exactly now is going to be my next question is him you know he was identified with leading egypt back into one of the arab world again

after how. important a role did he play personally in that i think he played a very important role at that time he took advantage of the iraq invasion of kuwait in 1990 he decided to side with our oldest is saudi arabia mainly and kuwait against saddam hussein he became a major u.s. ally in that region against the iranian against iraq because actually after the invasion of kuwait in 1981 he sided with saudi arabia against iraq he was the main u.s. ally actually in that war the main us our ally in that what we call egypt contributed like 20000 soldiers to the war effort against saddam hussein to expense of them proceeding from kuwait and that actually played a very important role in bringing egypt out of the cold and back to and out of the cold and back to the are the arab world egypt became also very important peace partner for both there is that it is and that america as he put it was a pressure on the palestinians in order to accept the loss for. he was

definitely useful on the international stage but he leaves behind him of course a country still in term or with the revolutions you leave the military behind him and still is in power how do you think the domestic dynamic will absolutely this is why has no work is very controversial. because on the other hand having said all that about his history as a leader of egypt on the other hand he's a symbol of a 3030 and his i'm on the board and the 2011 revolution egyptian revolution was seen as the main at a turning point in the history of the arab world because after actually that would you share most of the arab world actually followed suit in syria in libya in yemen and in many are other countries here with egypt in with an eye on 1st for 3 decades . and he was that it presented the actually of egyptian army because since 1952 there gyptian army has been the ruling egypt with an iron fist starting with jamaal

of the north of the 1954 and ending actually with assisi who is ruling egypt in a much more a 330 where there was no wall of good in the past and so much more one else could have you in. one of the opening of a major music festival in chile has been hit by violence. over economic inequality in 4 months of protests our latin america. being at the mad is chile's version of monte carlo a seaside city famous for hosting the spanish speaking world's most prestigious song festival for the past 60 years. but this week the so-called garden city is on recognizable the latest epicenter of months of unrest. wild pop star ricky martin opened the dean of the modest festival outside protesters chanted yes we can . as put it then sprang back to car dealership others burned vehicles and

destroyed property. president of us stamping it out who is under fierce pressure from his conservative constituency to crack down on 4 months of ongoing unrest this was the last straw. the dividing line is between those who believe in democracy and want to live in peace and those who practice violence and want to destroy our democracy this park for peace democracy and against violence to translate into concrete are. among his proposals is legislation to strengthen security forces and intelligence services as well as to fast track a bill to allow the army to secure key infrastructure such as the water system and electricity grid. but these will do little to quell the main causes of the social unrest which of also brought out hundreds of peaceful protesters here in the nya. nya 68 percent of the population lives below the poverty line with no water or

sanitation this city has more important needs in this festival. meanwhile the now the modest iconic otello higgins is closing says management until authorities can guarantee the safety of guests and staff living other matter festival is widely being seen as a litmus test of how authorities will deal with a new wave of unrest which is widely expected to start in march that's when students return to class and congress reconvenes the government has already announced the arrival of more modern weapons to deal with crowd control including new fortified water can be a girl's and possibly pink bombs and acoustic graves the president is commending the police for what he calls their hard work making no mention of the scores of human rights abuses committed by security forces and documented by the un and other human rights organizations as things stand now if you expect these violations nor
