beginning to realize it to. morrow. at least 20 killed and almost 200 injured as hindu gangs fight street battles with muslims in the indian capital. alone welcome i'm peter dhabi you're watching all to 0 live from our headquarters here in doha also coming up warnings the worst is yet to come in the global corona virus outbreak the number of infections in south korea has crossed 1000. pressure builds on cameroon as leaders after a rights group accuses the army of being involved in a civilian massacre. also ahead egypt which forced hosni mubarak from power and

a popular uprising goes into 3 days of mourning after his death in cairo. 3 days of violence in the indian capital has left at least 20 people dead nearly 200 others have been injured as mobs wielding iron bars targeted muslims on the streets of new delhi the muslims were rallying against a new citizenship law but they say discriminates against them other demonstrations against the law have been going on for months tony berkeley starts our coverage from new delhi. the suburbs of geoffrey 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 protest as both for and against the law. this man says he was shot in the foot by police

shotgun pellets by. nobody but i was standing with my mother and sisters protesting peacefully and police and people of the mob by foreigners beating me up they're firing tear gas shows one person was shot in the chest not a shot in the hand of the same time as me. another wounded you to spend 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 supporting him do they not 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 please 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 here

other images show mosque being vandalized and 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 tuesday 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 the militants the latest reason that i am i that it's unfathomable to allow your own people to die like that takes a certain kind of hit on your. syria 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 ne down. well our correspondent elizabeth for an m joins us live this hour from new delhi liz good morning so what's the latest from that northeastern area of delhi. so peter as you mentioned the death toll now is 20 people and nearly 200 injured and that is only from the main hospital that's been treating the injured there out to all the hospitals at the moment there is a massive paramilitary presence on the streets of the suburbs of the north eastern suburbs to try and control the situation after what's been happening since sunday the delhi high court passed an order that was sitting off to midnight and pasta orders saying that the injured have to be given passage to make it to hospitals and

that is because an ambulance was attacked a fire engine was set on fire it has been a riotous situation of the last few days and we've had. the home minister the interior minister how 3 meetings i believe over the last 24 hours and also in the middle of the night protesters gathered around the chief minister's house the chief minister of delhi you know demanding that he and his newly reelected common man party do more but but the reality is that security in delhi is because it is the capital is controlled by the central government and it is really up to the central government to do something so now there's a huge power military presence out on the streets that people are asking delhi has a police force of something like $85000.00 people and so few police officers were

seen for the 1st 2 days when the fighting broke out. and you know all the journalists all police officers standing by and doing doing nothing while people were attacking each other and in fact while journalists were being attacked what's led to this leads to spoil you can the violence. so peter as you know the protest against the citizenship amendment has been going on since it was pasta and december and while there was some violence in some places after the door was possibly done mostly in the station with him for the for the most part these protests have largely been peaceful when they turn violent is there was a passion so what happened on sunday was a member of the of the prime minister that in the movies bought of the the party the b j p held a protest close to where the protests against the citizenship nor were taking place

saying asking protesters to clear the roads demanding police do it and saying that they're going to keep quiet while donald trump is in town but after trump believes they're taking matters into their own hands now this is exactly what his supporters did on sunday they started attacking the people protesting against the normal and that soon turned into. a huge scale of people attacking each other and again as i mentioned this is something that we've seen before in the election campaign for the delhi state elections to be j.p. politicians the banned from campaigning you know one for likening protesters to rapists and murderers and another to saying that protestors should be shot and often those comments were made there were something like 2 shooting incidents in one week so there is really dangerous rhetoric at the moment and despite that you know we haven't heard anything from the

b j p we yet to hear from the prime minister about this or in fact the interior minister who is in charge of security. thanks very much the world health organization is warning the coronavirus break is escalating rapidly and action must be taken quickly to prevent it from becoming a pandemic were becomes widespread around the world. this is a rapidly escalating at the nomic in different places that we've got to tackle super fast to prevent a pandemic i mean 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 to to this disease in south korea the health ministry has announced a 169 more infections mostly in and around the center of the us the city of daegu the total number is now almost 12 hundreds european health ministers held emergency

talks in italy where the virus has spread from court on europe to tuscany and sicily croatia austria france switzerland and germany all have infections linked to the italian break the number of cases is rising in iran the deputy health minister charged with leading his country's response is among those who fall ill and americans are being told it's inevitable the virus will spread throughout the united states well this track from the johns hopkins university in the us gives you a good picture of where the outbreak has spread to and the number of cases so far the world total is just over 81000 brazil looks to have south america's 1st case residents of sao paolo who recently returned home from italy. to so and our correspondent following the story for us as of a rope mcbride so rob the number there breaching the 1000 figure significant perhaps. other big spike and

everybody here looking anxiously as these figures come out every day wondering just when and if the various measures that the government has put in place are going to have an impact because we keep on hearing from the government this week is pretty crucial the net what happens over the next few days will determine whether this outbreak can be contained in the southeast corner of the country down around the city of daegu or 'd whether if you're going to get increases and new cases by the hundreds every day that there is almost an inevitability about this that eventually you have to accept that this thing is spreading across communities nationwide that is the fear so everybody looking anxiously as the figures come out every day and it does impact on every day life here you sense it in the streets there's not necessarily any panic but worry certainly that affects the way people go about

their lives that they avoid crowds they avoid movies avoid restaurants we know that schools are closed today as work online more and more companies are getting people to work remotely from home not to come in to their offices and of course down around they go itself we do know that this is a impacting business that a number of factories have closed and you have the strange events happening there we are living through extraordinary times just earlier today wednesday here in seoul in the center of seoul one of the big buildings here it's the headquarters of one of the big telecoms companies s.k. telecom they had a member of staff come down with a coronavirus they took the unprecedented decision just to close the whole building 7 send everyone home have the place disinfected and it will be closed for the rest of the week is there anything else the authorities can do as we're talking right now rob we're looking at pictures you're describing it for us as well just washing the sidewalks with presumably some sort of disinfectant there closing schools

they're closing places where people would interact with other people what else can they come up with. well that's what they are doing down around daegu the prime minister is they're leading the leading the efforts to try to contain the coronavirus in that area one of the big shortages they have there are medical personnel and they're calling for volunteers a number of brave you'd have to say brave people have volunteered to go down there and to start the testing centers and the hospital wards dealing with this they are calling for more people to. answer the call there's also things like shortages of face mask we're now having here in south korea so the government is working with companies not to export the new face masks that they are churning out by the millions but to keep more of them here meanwhile we're also hearing today from the epidemiologists from the specialist doctors in

a news conference they're very much trying to project what is going to happen here in the experience south korea will go through based on what happened in china and as we know that there break talk about 2 months from the 1st cases to really reach a peak and you've got to remember that here in south korea we're still in the early days it's only about this time last week that south korea was dealing with cases in the dozens and we are now well over $1100.00 so you would have to conclude we still have a ways to go rob thanks very much. in the news ahead this half hour for you why some fighters backing the libyan warlord early for her after being described as the new ice. also ahead the former u.s. vice president joe biden faced with a do or die contest lashes out at the democratic front runner bernie sanders.

a large number of people gather will consider measures such as suspension put spawn meant and reduction of size for the next 2 weeks. since the libyan warlord. began his offensive to take the capital tripoli is caught in the west by saying he's trying to rid the country of in his words terrorists but elements within afters forces have been accused of sharing an ideology similar to al qaeda and i saw stratford reports from tripoli they. have also been accused of war crimes. these are fighters loyal to walter khalifa haftar battling un backed government forces in eastern libya. i have to says the world should support him because he's a secular force the west contrast to fight terrorism. with many of the most powerful militias fighting for half the are considered by western governments to be a threat to the future stability of libya and the security of their own countries because of the ideology they embrace. the big contradiction is in what have to

tries to promote about himself and the evidence which is clear his forces are comprised of so if you had these their ideology scares many people we have seen them storming mosques and forcing others to follow their version of islam they are in an open war against the moderates in libya. these are monthly fighters saying that huffed is god's chosen one the muckle is follow what some analysts describe as an ultra conservative 6 with a jihadist ideology based in saudi arabia this is a saudi based shaikh telling mudhoney fighters loyal to hafta that their fight against the un backed government in tripoli is a religious one. the government in tripoli in western libya says it wants to dissolve all militias fighting on its behalf and integrate them into a national army have to has far more solid peace fighting with him by thousands

than the western government so what he says and what's actually happening on the ground is quite different the backbone of his libyan troops the strongest force armament highly salafist to follow an obscure saudi sheik and and have what some claim is a quietist philosophy although this is an anomaly to you for all the analysts because what kind of quiet is silent this should get people every day this is general haftar with one of his top commanders mahmoud a willfully. and this is a lawfully killing prisoners in benghazi he is wanted by the international criminal court to face war crimes after reportedly detaining a wolf leave for a few days off the released him and promoted him to lieutenant colonel in the near 6 years since wall of khalifa haftar launched his military operation to try and seize power in libya rights groups such as amnesty international have accused both

sides of committing war crimes after describes himself as being a secular leader fighting terrorism a leader the west can trust but for the un backed governments here in tripoli military analysts and many people across this country that simply isn't true stop al-jazeera tripoli. egypt 1003 days of national mourning as we've been reporting following the death of hosni mubarak a military funeral is planned for weapons day mubarak ruled for 3 decades before he was forced from power during the 2011 revolution joining us here on set is marwan column head of policy analysis of the arab center for research and policy studies ma and grits tortuga if you would be fair to say that his life is kind of a roadmap through the immediate history or his life was of the broader region absolutely i would certainly agree with this assessment because if you look at the bar 7 decades i mean has risen somehow his life actually summarize the history of

the entire middle east starting with the establishment of the state of his and the fears of a war and also than 956 war between egypt france the u.k. and these leaders will not forget that not bother keep up dissipated in the 1967 war and 1973 or some actually consider them as war hero against is about in 1973 because he was the chief of the egyptian air force but then actually when he became president after that was assassinated in 1981 he became the mean u.s. ally in the region and the palestinians in particular with remember him as putting huge pressure on them not to accept is that an elite terms. later on of course he became a symbol of what they thought he and his i'm in the region because he would egypt with an iron fist for 3 decades but of course when you compare what barak to c.c.

most people actually would agree to that he would be representing somehow a softer their agenda of the theater there to see see see see the policies actually made for some people actually. perhaps when they compare him to the sea so more or less actually here in brazil and. the hysteria over the middle east over the boss some in the us and dems are failures sex s. and downs of authoritarianism conflict and peace so you have to take all this into account in order to have a clear perspective or fear a car for your account of his life and contribution how are egyptians processing what we're going to see unfolding today in as much as when the news broke yesterday that he died at the age of 91. social media i was surprised social media people saying he slaughtered 900 people in the run up to being toppled and other people

saying no actually he turned a blind eye and i got the sense that egyptians can't agree on a settled version of events on a settled this is who he was and this was what he did and this all the other potential consequences of what he did as the country has to inevitably move forward absolutely i agree actually because as said i mean people actually within to disagree on on how to see or look at the mubarak's life. some people actually when they're combat him to the to the current leader of egypt as i said before. he doesn't seem to be a very lifelike bloody dictator in that in that sense but on the other hand we shouldn't also forget that that he crushed the opposition especially in the 1900 s. when he was actually challenged by the islamist manatee and he also used a very heavy handed approach in actually cutting down at the opposition starting in

1993 and ending in 2000 so i think as i said i mean there is there is this sort of this agreement on how actually to assess his life and the role and contribution to egypt and to the politics of the middle east you keep us company in the coming hours as we monitor the funeral but moment for the moment thank you very much thank you. the news agency bloomberg is reporting that saudi arabia and its allies are. sting u.s. calls to open the space to cast the currently routes over iran according to bloomberg and his supporters want more concessions from the head of the 2022 world cup tournament has been under a blockade for nearly 3 years. cameron's president is under increasing pressure after a human rights group accused his security forces of killing more than 20 people including children is said to have happened in an english speaking region where separatists are fighting to establish their own state as nicholas reports the president still command support among the majority french speaking population.
