alben terminal for phase one of the project. india's prime minister appeals for calm after street battles kill at least 20 in delhi. alone welcome on peter w. watching al-jazeera live from doha are also coming up a warning the worst is yet to come in the global coronavirus emergency the number of infections in south korea has now passed 1000. pressure builds on cameroon's leaders after a rights group accuses the army of being involved in a civilian massacre. and egypt which forced hosni mubarak from power and a popular uprising goes into 3 days of mourning after his death in cairo.

the indian prime minister narendra modi has called for calm after 3 days of violence in delhi killed at least 20 people nearly 200 others have been injured as hindu crowds targeted muslims burning buildings and ransacking mosques and muslims were rallying against a new citizenship law that they say discriminates against them other demonstrations in opposition to the law been going on for months 2030 years outside a hospital in northern delhi where some of the injured are being treated so tony is there a sense that this might get worse before it gets better. well at the moment peter there is a sense of calm after 3 days of violence which have been a very bloody time in delhi it's been the most violent time in decades they are now counting the cost of those 3 days i'm outside the mortuary of the g.t.

be a government run hospital where families hindu families a muslim families are waiting to receive the bodies of the people who were killed the death count as you mentioned it's over 20 now $250.00 people injured but the streets are quiet but there's still an unease on the streets of northeast 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 . and 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 and police and people the mob by foreigners. 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 discussed the police from police because police supporting damn the hindus not muslims. police are being criticized 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 no one 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 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. the latest reason that i am at it's unfathomable to allow your own people to die like that exultant dying of it under this area has become ground 0 in this divisive fight now and its 3rd month and many fear the turmoil is going to get worse before it gets better. some people this express surprise that it's taken 3 days for the prime minister

narendra modi to make any comment about what's happening in north easterly he said in a tweet that's the favorite way of donald trump who the man he's entertained for the last 36 hours likes to communicate and he appealed for his brothers and sisters in delhi to return peace and normalcy and that is central to the peace and harmony of india now this whole episode has been a scarring effect on what will happen in the future we don't know but this whole issue is now taking on a different meaning in northeast delhi it became hindus against muslims and this is not what the. citizens and memon act was all about this was a cut across all religious divides with all minorities involved i think what you see now in the coming days if there's not a renewed episode of violence that rallies will be held around the country to show that this is a civil rights matter and not a religious matter tony thanks very much. the world health organization is warning the coronavirus brick is moving quickly and action must be

taken to prevent it from turning into a pandemic 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. will certain areas health ministry has announced $169.00 more infections mostly in and around the center of the outbreak that's the city of daegu the total number is now nearly $1200.00 european health ministers held emergency talks in italy where the virus has spread from cold on your to tuscany and sicily croatia austria france switzerland and germany all have infections linked to the italian outbreak in iran the number of cases there is rising the

deputy health minister responsible for leading the country's response is among those who fall in ill and americans are being told it is inevitable the virus will spread through the united states well this tracker is from the johns hopkins university in the us it gives us a picture of where the outbreak has spread to and the number of cases the world total is now just over $81000.00 and brazil looks to have south america's 1st case a resident from sao paolo who recently returned from italy right mcbride's in the south korean capital so he says the next few days are crucial as new laws are being introduced to try to stop the spread of the virus that. everyone looking with increasing anxiety these spikes as we continue to get more cases because of course we've been told that the next few days are pretty crucial in deciding whether this will be contained around that eastern corner of the country around the city of daegu or not but it certainly is impacting on every day life on the people not

going out to restaurants to cinemas people being advised to work from home schools being closed and then you get remarkable one off events such as earlier today right here in the center of seoul one of the big telecoms providers s.k. telecom it was discovered that one of its employees had come down with a corona virus that had been in the office so they took the incredible decision to basically close the whole headquarters send everyone home and disinfect it for the rest of the week a building that has just reopened this wednesday is the national assembly that was closed for 24 hours while it was disinfected because they discovered they had a visitor there last week who was infected and they have got right down to the business this wednesday afternoon of passing emergency bills to try to help in the fight against the virus one bill forces empowers various departments in fact forces departments to provide facemasks to vulnerable groups there is. another

various other bills to force the testing of for the coronavirus on people whether they like it or not well the corona virus has reached at least 5 chinese prisons more than 550 inmates are sick believed it was brought in by guards who shared a bus with people who'd been to a hospital. do you want to be a country some prison guards did not report after having contact with people from affected areas in who'd be the failure of complete isolation cause the spread of the virus missions and. the spread in these prisons has revealed the loopholes in management of the prison guards and the lack of effective epidemic prevention and control measures 5 months from the olympics in tokyo japan's prime minister is calling for sporting and cultural events to be delayed or canceled. organizers should reassess events after 2 weeks once the government knows more about the

impact of the outbreak that's a look at about the money or not considering that there's a large risk of infection for nationwide sports and cultural events where a large number of people gather will consider measures such as suspension put spawn meant and reduction of size for the next 2 weeks afghanistan's health care system is already creaking from decades of violence and neglect so an outbreak there could have a devastating impact and reports now from kabul an open border as the very real potential to allow infected people from elsewhere to come right in the. first suspected afghan coronavirus cases are held in the isolation ward of iraq hospital to face confirmed patient 35 year old men who just returned from the epicenter of the outbreak in iraq. we don't have proper means to deal with patients the medical staff and also in danger of 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 samples are 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 in iran has increased vulnerability of afghanistan as well. 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. is in poor condition and. the 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 420000 people in some remote areas the shortage is even worse the province of herat has been declared a medical emergency area 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. we are worried 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. still to come here on al-jazeera. that the us family the only showing a 6 year old child being addressed. so at school. the but. we still have plenty of heavy showers since the malaysia into indonesia we've had the flooding recently just around to cause more showers coming through here as we

back you're watching al-jazeera a reminder of our top stories of the indian prime minister narendra modi has called for calm after 3 days of violence in delhi killed at least 20 people really 200 others were injured after listening. more protests against the contentious citizenship more than. the world health organization has warned the corona virus outbreak is rapidly escalating and action must be taken quickly to prevent it from becoming pandemic. in south korea the health ministry has announced 169 more infections mostly in and around the center of the bringing us this is. really 1200 people affected. cameroon's president paul bia is under increasing pressure after a human rights group accused his security forces of killing more than 20 people including children it's said to have happened in an english speaking region where

separatists are fighting to establish their state let's get more now from nicholas who joins us live from dakar in senegal nick the opposition leader has just arrived back how's that going to affect the political situation. well peter i mean paul b. a is clearly under pressure this morning the economic capital there were hundreds of people waiting for the opposition leader now it's well to thousands of people people there are scared the chanting the name of the young cameroon refugee that intercepted our doorstep president just a few days ago at an agriculture conference in paris shouting at him asking him questions about his relationship with cameron france being the former colonial power a close ally of cameroon and president mike or answered back saying he's putting maximum pressure on because the situation there as he describes it is. and

so that that video of him of president michael answering the question of this young cameron and refugee was widely spread on social media and sparked protest outside the french embassy in the economic capital but also in yeah there were hundreds of pro-government supporters are chanting against. against micro take a look at this report we've been following events in cameroon. demonstrators outside the french embassy the police were there not to stop them but to protect them they were supporters of president paul b. he's been in power since then $982.00 they're angry at the french president emanuel michel he's been openly critical of the government security crackdown on the english speaking regions of cameroon where armed separatists are seeking autonomy supporters of the government hold signs saying no one can divide cameroon and don't mess with our country's affairs minister. who is this young 40 year old who's

trying to teach a lesson to our old president says this protester look what they've done to libya ivory coast and mali they're not going to mess with us. they then all insult the french president. mr maxwell it's this mobile phone video widely shared on social media that sparked the protest the person filming is a cameroonian political refugee in france he shouts to michael to get his attention he says more than 29 people were burnt to death last week in the english speaking regions by security forces everyone is clean what are you going to do he asks. i am putting maximum pressure on poll bia so that he deals with the crisis in the regions and that he treats the political opposition with respect and eventually freed opposition leader. we are seeing that the situation is deteriorating and i will call him so that the intolerable situation seizes with

a 1000000000 displaced in over 3000 killed since 2016 human rights groups blame both armed separatist and security forces for the violence and displacement of people in the english speaking regions human rights watch believes the rapid intervention battalion backed by ethnic salami militias are behind the latest attack the elite force trained and managed by former israeli navy commandos shot 13 children then set their homes alight with the parents and children inside. the government 1st called it collateral damage then denied being involved in the killings where soul outrageous and the abuses sold blatant and the evidence i mean the killings went deliberate and well aimed at punishing the population suspected of harboring and collaborating with the separatists. the opposition believes these demonstration against france are orchestrated by the government

itself while france may be cameron's closest ally the relationship is changing the violence in the english speaking regions is intensifying in proving to brutal to ignore. there has been municipal and local election in order to quell this this need for independence from the english speaking region as described by the government but the election commission just announced that the results in the 11 of the constituency have been canceled the separatist armed separatists movement in the english speaking region had called for a boycott of the election so has more it's come to the opposition leaders saying that there isn't the circumstances in place to have free and fair elections now the english speaking region is home to 4000000 people it's about the size of switzerland the opposition more is opposition leader more it's come to said that he doesn't want clear dependence of this area but more autonomy but what's clear peter

is that paul b. who has been in power since 1902 for the last 36 years is under increased pressure and that's likely to continue in the months to come peter back to you nick thanks very much. egypt is holding 3 days of national mourning after the death of the former leader hosni mubarak a military funeral is expected to start soon about it was in power for 3 decades until it was forced out during the 2011 revolution jamal sheil looks back at those meant as events. across 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 brought all to practically for 30 years the 2011 uprising had begun on january the 25th at 8 that the mubarak government had 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 crack down on the demonstrators police snipers train their weapons on the power. and then this. flags riding camels charged towards the protesters several 100 people were killed in suez alexandria and destroyed 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 clear square in the center of 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 leaving 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 support him it was announced that he was stepping down but there's no you know many revolutionaries believed that meant that they had won but the child that had been ringing out in the streets of egypt for those 18 days was the people demand reform of the regime and what those revolutionaries didn't realized was that while mubarak may have fallen the regime was to remain even stronger and jamal joins us live now from tunis jamal as egyptians pause

and reflect i guess today would it be fair to say that there was kind of 2 hostile about x. there was that some people the war hero from 3530 years ago and then there was the totally or thoughts hereon figure in charge inside the presidential palace who lost the fight against the people in 2011. for sure i mean he was a divisive figure and people will be looking at him from their own respective lenses but that has more probably to do with what type of life they were afforded under the rule of hosni mubarak more than it has to do with. pursuing 2 different types of policies throughout his career ultimately if you are a well off person in egypt who benefited from a corrupt state and more able to maneuver around the difference governments institutions greasing pockets as you went along or getting contracts or getting your. different interests delivered then you would be looking at the mubarak era

just as you would be looking at the fatah to see see iran as a positive one if you're one of the millions who. can cure poverty more and more or had people in your family arrested because of their political views or saw essentially the degradation of the basic state's infrastructure then you would be looking at the mubarak era as a failed one to say the least and that's essentially how many people will be looking back at those 30 years depending on what type of life they were afforded and for many millions of egyptians it wasn't the most prosperous of ones with saying he's getting a military funeral is it's when it comes to how egypt sees itself today with mr sisi in charge is it in effect a state funeral. essentially it will be i mean they will put out all the stops for hosni mubarak most likely because ultimately hosni mubarak didn't just represent

himself he represents the military institution the military institution which has been controlling and governing egypt since $1052.00 there is one of the famous sayings the egyptians have about egypt is that egypt isn't a country with a military it's a military with a country because the army in egypt use itself essentially as owning the country and responsible for the entire country and that's why the military didn't allow for mubarak to be tried the same way for example his successor morsi was tried didn't allow for him to be treated in any way that they saw was degrading because any thing that was degrading to mubarak would be degrading to the army so when they will do the funeral today it will be done in a way that reflects what they perceive to be the prestige of the army the authority of the army and to ensure that the common egyptian know was that ultimately this is

what's egypt's army status is because ultimately if we're talking about the legacy of hosni mubarak one of the biggest representations of that legacy is actually the hazy so you wouldn't have sisi in power now if it wasn't for hosni mubarak jamal thank you. u.s. democratic presidential hopefuls have held a fiery debate in south carolina 4 days before the next primary moderators often struggle to take control of a shouting match between the contenders and a galaxy reports now from charleston. well bernie goetz batted the appropriate top lloyd headline in this wasn't to be unexpected bernie sanders is after all the front burner at the moment he must have been expecting the of the 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

blatantly wrong the bottom line on us politics and policies and their effect on the world. there is a huge group of people at work behind our screens they called behavior architects dissuasive designers or user experience specialists and the power they have is massive that urge to keep swiping through your twitter feed that's designed the way we all click i agree to the terms and conditions that's designed swiping left or right on tinder that's designed to. we live in an online world of someone else's making and most of us never even give it a 2nd thought and actually that's design is what.
