back to their homes and businesses after a week of turmoil in new delhi. and the wind for climate activists plans for an extension to london's heathrow airport. welcome to the program turkey's military is retaliating against syrian army positions after 22 of its soldiers were killed in an attack the air strike happened in syria's in the province where in the last few weeks turkish forces have killed or captured more than 1700 soldiers with ties to the syrian government turkey's president had threatened more attacks against the russian backed regime if any more of their soldiers were harmed. meanwhile ankara has announced it will no longer stop syrian migrants trying to make their way to europe turkish police coastguard and border security have been ordered to stand down and allow any syrian migrants to cross into europe either by land or sea well the latest round of fighting as

only worsen the humanitarian crisis in the country with more than a 1000000 syrians displaced at the border in the last few weeks let's get more on this now from the who's and how to in turkey that's near the border with syria what more do we know about these deaths of the turkish soldiers and how serious an escalation is this. me the day let me just update you on the latest the governor of how tight house just. the number of the turkish soldiers who were killed has now reached 30. 292936 soldiers injured so we talking about a number that has been colliding over the last few hours this is a really critical situation we're talking about a moment that could be the size develop good shape the the future of the

relationship between turkey syria and turkey and russia now a all the soldiers who were injured have been evacuated from syria and now they're being treated in a hospital. on the border with syria we're getting series of reactions from senior government officials. here saying basically that the government is going to retaliate is going to take revenge to the point where almost always the spokesperson of our party the ruling party is saying that from now on what syrian government is the is the enemy of turkey there's been a meeting of national security presided by the president. and it was during that meeting that the they have apparently decided to take many decisions one of those decisions is to continue pounding government positions in different parts of syria

and we do understand that operation is still underway it started a few hours ago with the turkish military law seen major attacks particularly shelling government syrian government positions in different parts of the north western. provinces of sea assizes said that in this is a very delicate situation fast moving there's a growing anger here in turkey about what happened in the turkish government is saying that from now on words it will take a different things will take a different turn in syria are how some so you've talked to us through turkey's response meanwhile turkish backs opposition say they have retaken eastern town of what does this mean on the ground. well the the capture of saddam was

a pivotal moment for the syrian opposition because this is their 1st victory in a bout of few months of in the 1st time they have managed to reverse gains made by the syrian government in different parts of the country in grew out of but also in the southern parts of italy a province the rebels were planning to move forward towards nutter not take it back and they were also saying that they are launching other attacks in. to push the government for forces from those areas but i think with this death toll of turkish soldiers in it live this is likely to sort of shape shift the whole narrative change the political landscape in northwestern syria is it is definitely going to further strain relations between turkey and russia because turkey blames the russia for providing significant military assistance to the syrian government and for also now helping to diffuse tension it is definitely go it's going to.

change the relationship between turkey and the syrian government all the statements that we've been hearing over the last few hours talking about syrian government as an enemy of turkey and this is an indication that maybe in the coming hours we might see the scale ation more attacks more military operation in the northwestern part of syria are there has a in turkey in the border with syria thank you for that. well the syrian government has launched a counter offensive to recapture the town of psyche had been a province that was taken by turkish backed rebels overnight to turkish soldiers were killed by a strike during that fight where sarah is important and if you look at the map we can see why whoever controls the m. 4 m. 5 highways gains critical military and economic advantages the m 5 in particular links aleppo with damascus in the south the growing red areas are controlled by the

government the shrinking green rebel territory yellow in the north and west is controlled by the kurds al-jazeera mullard fadel is in the outskirts of the city of seattle with more. in 4 will available. we are exactly on the m 4 highway connecting aleppo we look back here this highway leads to the meeting point with the international emp 5 highway connecting aleppo and damascus sarika cities the point where both the highways connect but in the. mean soraya to our right was captured this morning by the armed opposition having seized control of the city the armed opposition is now in total control of both the strategic highways. however airstrikes are still carried out by both the russian and syrian regime's fighter jets targeting the city on its outskirts. of the family of a false as you have just seen it was an air strike on the city the armed opposition

who is now in control of sarek of city and both the highways say they killed a large number of the regime forces inside the city we can also see that plume of smoke as a result of the airstrike aerial bombardment has not stopped on the contrary it has intensified as i said earlier both the highways are now cut off by the armed opposition it is a big win and a massive advance for the opposition to seize control of seraglio along with a number of its neighboring villages well let's bring in you sir he's an international security and politics analyst and retired turkish colonel who joins us via skype from ankara reports them yourself that nearly 30 soldiers have now been killed in this airstrike how serious an escalation is this in the crisis do you think. well actually to tell the truth this tradition in such floria was very. late being since from almost 3 weeks but what can i say that the

position of the turkey inside to syria is being considered especially by the e.u. and nato on the problem after turkish turkey answer for this isn't the i can say that from now on orchestration builds change especially in the area from the perspective of the syrian armed forces and turkish armed forces because as far as i know are down turkish armed forces using it. and also at the same time to add to their forces from their border are strongly hitting the air defense systems and many him in addition the parts of the regime forces because according to do but is that actual spokesman and the communication department say they're all part of all the regime departments including 8 ports including air defense systems including in positions of the regime forces will be targets would be thought any discrimination

by the turkish armed forces the 2nd issue which is very important to. this problem on his shoulder ell long and is a huge barrier off refugees to the europe what is the side of turkey it did not change you deserve to get policy but may not be a. program to grab europe yourself meanwhile there's a fierce battle on the ground at the summit which turkish backed opposition forces say they have recaptured how much of a boost is this then for the opposition forces generally. especially the said occupy is very important because it is at the intersection of the m. tor and 5 high rate but it is a very important type of 8 in order to connect or to the muscles and the lucky one of the part 3 biggest cities off to syria for disappears and the opposition could be in the states that sees from 24 hours under the control of the or was it dition

forces but nick me remind you that this situation mishti or was he she must be back the turkish armed forces will change everything because from now on the will see not only the opposition on the ground but also the many more and the fire power of the turkish armed forces including the aid of force because now i am talking to you from the capital city of an caracas and i can say that all the 30 ish aid parcels 'd which is traveling to the syrian border and i can see they are roaring worrisome inside onkar skies are at the use of other but we have to leave it there thank you very much indeed sir for your thoughts thank you. well the conflict is further feeling a humanitarian crisis. has more on the situation in. the united nations says nearly a 1000000 people have been forced from their homes since december they're trapped between heavy fighting and the closed border with turkey. as the army comes

close to us here and we have pressured the people here in the camps. we all going to turkey even if they kill us we want to go to turkey and the turks should be prepared to welcome 5 to 6000000 people coming all at once. according to the u.n. more than half of the internally displaced are children and this winter has been unusually cold some infants are reported to have frozen to death or suffocated in tents with their parents as they all tried to keep warm this is the worst wave of displacement we've seen during the syrian conflict with the harsh winter conditions and we see people trapped isolated and running out of ways to cope. in recent days russian back to syrian air strikes have increased hospitals blood banks and schools have been destroyed turkish president recep tayyip or the one has not suggested that the border will be reopened. we are not going to take even

a little step back in the ad lib we will push the syrian regime forces out of the areas that we designated and let people return back to their houses many have lost their homes in the u.n. estimates some families have been displaced 10 times those trying to flee across the border with turkey face a concrete wall topped with barbed wire. to move a good out of the people are taking refuge in the turkish wall but why is the wall here is it to prevent families from entering their women and children their elderly people why don't they allow children in the main can stay here and fight but the children the women let them in. many people like these are desperate to escape the fighting and if a safe passage is not created they will remain trapped leah harding al-jazeera. meanwhile the u.n. security council has met to discuss the worsening humanitarian situation in syria it was told of catastrophic consequences on the ground. has more now from the united nations the situation in italy abused deteriorating by the hour and the

humanitarian crisis is now more urgent than ever that was the message delivered by top united nations officials here to the security council. the assistant secretary general of humanitarian affairs told the council members she has been speaking with aid workers in the country and with contacts inside of libya who have given her heartbreaking examples of what people especially children are facing what is happening in northwest syria these said is beyond imagination it is not human to be tolerable they don't know children so traumatized they no longer speak . as humanitarian needs increase there are also growing calls for un secretary general antonio gutierrez to do more to help in the fighting something i put to his spokesman yesterday 9 members of the security council met with the secretary

general and part of their message apparently was urging the secretary general to do all he can to get an immediate cease fire the secretary general did meet with that the 9 members his goals as stated publicly and privately or really to very simple goals put a stop to the killing and make sure there is humanitarian access for those who need it the most meanwhile be a stone an ambassador to the u.n. might have summed it up most dramatically when he told the security council on thursday this syria that credo a civilization is being turned into a graveyard. for less muscle to come on the news hour including. to asian economic aid to the station in. lebanon's protests may have dwindled but the government's being told that it could change its people suffer in a deepening economic crisis and we'll have all the sports world number one novak

djokovic and to continue his perfect yeah and you will hear that story a little bit later. now the world's biggest economies are being hit hard as the impact of the corona virus outbreak pummels the stock markets all 3 major u.s. indices are now on track the best steepest weekly declines since the 2008 global financial crisis the dow alone dropped nearly 1200 points on thursday and its worst one day drop in history in europe london's footsie 100 fell by nearly 3.5 percent it's now lost more than a $150000000000.00 over the last 4 days and shares also fell in asia japan's nikkei lost 2 point one percent well the i.m.f. has responded to the effects the coronavirus is beginning to have on the global economy a lot just depends on. the speed of recovery in in

china and in other countries the spillover effects and the effects on supply chains and. the extent to which other countries may be significantly affected out there as christine salumi has more in new york with reaction. well another extremely volatile day on wall street the markets saw another major sell off the dow jones industrial average fell more than merely 1200 points that's more than 3000 points for this week alone all 3 of the major indices are now 10 percent below the market highs that means that they're in what's known as correction territory a significant drop this as investors remain very concerned about the continuing spread of the corona virus in particular some new cases registered in germany and one here in the united states in northern california where health officials

couldn't trace and have yet to trace the origin of the contact with the person who contract did the coronavirus and so that has investors worried that corporate earnings are going to suffer that the global economy in general is going to suffer and on wall street what we saw with the markets is that the sectors you expect were hit would be hit hard have been hit hard yet again things like airlines big technology companies that are multinational technology companies energy the crude oil again registering more it's at the lowest levels in over a year all of this related to the spread of this virus and fears about global supply chains especially for manufacturing companies microsoft lowered its revenue projections saying that the supply chains weren't coming back in line quickly and at the end of the day their stocks were down more than 5 percent of something we're

seeing pretty much across the board well let's bring in don sure iacke he's an economist and seen a fellow at the global economy program at the center for international governance innovation he joins us via skype from ottawa let's talk 1st about canada because canadian stocks have been under significant pressure as fears of the virus have been forcing traders to sell off and now a technical hold has been declared in the toronto stock exchange tell us briefly what's been happening. the canadian stocks appear to be mirroring what's happening globally specially in the united states mid afternoon sex was already above its 30 day average in terms of volume and shut down for technical reasons the march on stock exchange appeared on the also shut down for that same reason the decline here was 1.9 percent not anywhere near as severe as in the united states but obviously it was on its way down there too so as in the united states we're

now in a new market has given out a lot of the gains that it had need in that run up since the mid 2019 when monetary policy was eased in north america so at the moment they still really a correction up in the financial markets so that's a situation in canada don as you say u.s. stocks a feeling the pinch too i mean the s. and p. 500 at its worst day since 2011 how much pressure will the u.s. federal reserve be on the rates in response to the virus. well indeed the the runup in the market was predicated on the prediction that you would have rate cuts coming and the federal reserve board does have some ammunition still left to spend in that regard. i think rather than looking at the at the pentagon szell side of things i think it's useful to look at the real side of the economy from mid 2019 till just recently the trade figures

were plummeting and you saw the the baltic dry index which is a useful indicator it measures the price of fall create a shipping it was just dropping like a stone through that period even ness of financial markets were levitating so the real side of the economy was getting different signals from the financial side so we can take it from that that the actual site was running up on interest rates and what's interesting right now is that even as we getting the news of the tremendous declines in the bottom of quartic t.v. for example hong kong we something reported was down 23 percent right rooms of the bar in europe year los angeles was down 25 percent but now we start to see actually a bottoming out on. that let me just jump in there quickly and let me just sorry let me just jump in quickly because they're running out of time i mean there are

signs that china may be starting to recover with people getting back to work do you think this will then be a good sign for investors to help perhaps shore up asian markets which have also taken a hit. i'd say that the 1st quarter is going to be a real blowout in terms of earnings and revenues it's going to take a while for china to get back in full gear we've just seen the bottom of this this decline right now but i do believe you know that it is actually bottoming out remember china is 98 percent of the coronavirus issue and there is a big risks as to whether or not other countries are going to be able to contain this and really localized any you know breakout but at the moment the what you've seen is a significant approaches between the real and the financial so the real side you start to bottom out into are not the kind of catching up with reality than surely at great to talk to you thank you very much indeed thank you. well there are now

more than 82000 cases of coronavirus across 44 countries and one new infections have slowed in china the reopening of all schools and universities there has been postponed elsewhere south korea reported to hundreds of new cases on thursday while it's and it remains a virus hotspot in europe and in iran one of the vice presidents has joined the deputy health minister in being diagnosed with the virus well the outbreak in iran has prompted authorities to cancel friday prayers in several cities including the capital tehran as a bag is there and has more on the restrictions announced by president hassan rouhani through. well the president has and ronnie signed off on a number of decisions today made by the catcher coronavirus committee now schools will remain closed for a further 3 days from saturday universities will be closed for another week now many of these of were to be closed for a week public events such as concerts and film showings a still canceled but most significantly friday prayers a cast of the 23 cities now let me explain how significant that is even in the

early 1980 s. when they were assessing nation's political assassinations taking place in mosques friday prayers were never canceled even at the height of the iraq war the saddam hussein was attacking the rangers cities those friday prayers were never canceled so this shows as seriously iran is taking that break of this virus and how hard they're trying to bring it under control but despite that today we heard that the vice president for women's and families family affairs. was diagnosed with a chroma virus that makes full politicians members of parliament and that's including the departure health minister also we heard that the former ambassador to go back to can hardly question to show he was 81 years old he was diagnosed with. contract in the virus yesterday now it's been we've heard that he has actually died he's 81 years old but iran is still finding itself continually isolated many countries have suspended their flights between iran and themselves but iran is

trying to bring the matter under control but iran is also suffering economically under u.s. sanctions and they want to get this under control so that the economy doesn't suffer any further meanwhile in neighboring iraq how far it is they're enforcing tough restrictions and public spaces so manifold and as in the capital with more. coffee shops are still open here and back without a day after the ministry of health issued a decree banning public gatherings and ordering the closure of coffee shops cinemas and clubs to prevent the spread of the coronavirus here but business is clearly down you can see that there are many empty tables here this is on a thursday just before a weekend where you would usually see large numbers of customers coming to this mall which is one of the biggest malls in the capital and of course business owners are not happy about this we spoke earlier to the director of this mall who complained about this directive that has been issued by the ministry of health criticizing the minister for not consulting the private sector would certainly have

a lot of negative impact as a result of these decisions the director did tell us that the mall itself has taken its own precautions to try to mitigate the spread of the virus by for example procuring devices to measure the temperature of customers coming in we can also see that some of the employees as you can see here are wearing plastic gloves to prevent the spread of the virus and the director also told us that for example in the cinema which is further up stairs that they would be limiting the numbers allowed into the halls to make sure that people were not sitting too close to each other now it remains to be seen how exactly the ministry of health will enforce this decree we actually overlooked an argument between business owners and ministry of health health officials with come to inspect the mall and to try to force the closure of some of these coffee shops and it's unclear whether there would be penalties certainly there was

a threat of penalties but it's unclear exactly what these penalties are and how far authorities will really go to enforce the closure of public spaces like these well the death toll in italy has risen to 17. with more on the outbreak and the impact it's having on these economic hub. normally bustling now virtually at a standstill. the corona virus outbreak in northern italy slumbered the region means even the site's historic duomo cathedral is closed to visitors and many here aren't happy spero. i hope next week they manage to solve the problem because the restaurants are empty the cafes are empty the trams and trains are empty i don't know how long we can cope with the situation. since the 1st coronavirus case was detected in italy the stock exchange has plunged 8 percent making many worry about

how exactly the fragile economy will cope it's not just tourists who are missing from this famous where it's also residents many of whom now find themselves working from home. like modern monty and academic coordinator at a university in milan who's trying to keep things calm for her family so they can all adapt to the situation because cern is there. i receive messages from all over there were from my students and over to where the concerned if they are concerned about me about my situation by the university my family motto wants to make sure her son and daughter take the necessary precautions by the sound of it her advice has already made an impact yet concluded but i always bring my sunny days in and gel with me like yesterday when i was having ice cream with my girlfriends and i made them all washed their hands. at night milan looks and feels even emptier tables with no want to sit around them waiting staff with no one

to serve before we have so much cause to mumble it's not every raise dragged off even a discharge to the make sure. the sky is dark but so is the mood yes the tram still run even though it seems more and more uncertain where things are heading. the french health minister says. 2 of its citizens infected with corona virus recently returned from a trip to egypt they were part of a tour group of 20 people officials are working to check the other travelers for the virus along with anyone else they might have been in contact with it's raised concerns about egypt's efforts to contain the spread of the virus. well past outbreaks of new viruses have been declared global pandemics but so far the world health organization has stopped short of doing that for the coronavirus some critics have suggested they w h i was acting too cautiously a shot of dallas. there is no one definition for

a pandemic the world health organization scrapped its criteria 10 years ago after the h one n one outbreak now it's more subjective anybody mick is when a new disease spreads from person to person in a community region append dimmick is when that spreads around the world no one more than 50 countries coronavirus or coded 19 is increasingly global and consuming sprayed with more than $82000.00 and fictions in less than 2 months. yet the w.h.o. says it still doesn't meet the standard for a pandemic. our message continues to be that this virus has. no country should assume it wouldn't get cases that could be a fight that mystic and quite literally this virus does not respect borders. the tell you a choice is countries should be in

a phase of preparedness for a possible pandemic if one was declared governments would have to roll out a full scale response with mobilization down to local level and distribution of personal protective equipment antivirals and other medical supplies it's costly and in 2009 the last time the w.h.o. declared a pandemic some countries criticized the move for burdening them unnecessarily w.h.o. when others don't like to use the word pandemic but by the classical definition we're really teetering very very close to that because there are a number of countries outside of china there do have a considerable number of cases the costs of a moderate to severe pandemic a high the world bank puts it at nearly $570000000000.00 even without meeting the threshold coronavirus has shaken financial markets but the human cost is still low

relative to past pandemics the 1900 spanish flu killed 50000000 people infected one 3rd of the world's population the most recent pandemic swine flu in 2009 killed up 257-5000 people coronavirus sits at 0.5 percent of that the w.h.o. hoping it levels off and it doesn't have to declare a pen to make shallow ballasts. and we'll have more on the coronavirus later in the program scientists in america search for clues of a cure for corona virus in caterpillars. and in sport why this new method of cooling down the fans at some of sporting events may have to be put on ice on that stay with us.

but. how i would have some of the nasty weather just pulling away from the middle antic states of the us. quiet weather will come through behind as we head towards the latter part of the week and on into the weekend still so wintry flour is just around the lakes east and possible kind of their own teria over towards canadian maritimes will stay someplace and places of snow if a central areas not see bad crisp sunshine in central parts of canada we're back with a top temperature but it's 5 degrees celsius s. and more rain is now coming into the pacific northwest just pushing north of the border into base a and that will continue to just ease its way further east with as we go through sas day for much of the west coast all the us california certainly dry and central parts generate driving to see dry weather too is at least the side for a new england into that eastern side of kind of the little bits and pieces of plow coming through has a fair amount of meanwhile sliding across the southeast of the us through florida

forces have killed or captured more than 1700 soldiers with ties to the syrian government. turkey says it will no longer stop syrian migrants trying to get to europe according to the voices news agency turkish police coastguard and border security have been ordered to stand down and allow migrants to travel by land and sea. on the economic impact of the coronavirus in the u.s. is dow jones index dropped nearly 1200 points on thursday and its worst one day drop in history all the major u.s. indices are now on track for the steepest weekly decline since 2008 global financial crisis. but more on the coronavirus and scientists in the u.s. are racing towards finding a vaccine government agencies universities and about a dozen private companies are also involved al-jazeera is hadija castro visited a lab in maryland where researchers say they're making some progress. the potential answer to stopping the coronavirus maybe swishing around inside these traits

researchers at the u.s. vaccine company novak's say they have made a protein that stops the virus from binding to human cells we are working. and i think the hell made a significant progress in a couple weeks scientists here receive the coronavirus gene sequence on january 10th they say within weeks they've cloned a noninfectious element of the virus using ovary cells from a north american caterpillar as a protein factory so now we have insect ovary cells making a spike protein which we then purify and that becomes a vaccine the novak's procedure has worked to make vaccines for the flu ebola and murmurs for the corona virus that appears to be effective as well clinical tests are expected to begin this spring the full licensing takes years vulnerable communities could receive the experimental vaccine on a compassionate use basis much sooner the incentive is still save and healthy as

quickly and as soon as possible in the race to contain the corona virus a win for the 1st to cross the finish line with a vaccine or a treatment is a win for all and so government researchers here the national institutes of health are partnering with private labs to quicken the pace of drug development. is another u.s. bio for making progress it's coronavirus vaccine is already in the end i was hands in preparing for clinical trials in april and i think that's commendable if we have to come up with as you might actually be you know several vaccines that are that are working the corona virus has killed thousands and is heading toward a pandemic u.s. health officials say this is the fastest science has ever moved to develop a vaccine but it could still be more than a year before any is massively deployed heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington.

saudi arabia's face more criticism of its human rights record from the united nations it's demanding the release of political prisoners at a briefing in geneva the un's human rights commission also pushed for more transparency around legal proceedings relating to the murder of the journalist. our diplomatic editor james paine's has more from geneva. this is the high level session of the human rights council and michelle by chalet the commissioner for human rights was laying out what she saw as the problems around the world she had very pointed comments about saudi arabia remember saudi arabia is the only arab member of the g 20 and it's been chosen to host this year's g. 20 summit but she said with regard to human rights there were obligations that had to i encourage religious that the frameworks to app called freedom of expression peaceful assembly and association for all and reviews of the jets rights of those who have been convicted for expressing their opinions including human read the

here during the last few days we were all extremely scared so scared that we moved all our women to a safer place only the main stayed. people were killed and injured here homes and businesses were burned. mohammed's fruit and vegetable shop provided a livelihood for his family for 30 years he was burned during the riots and he's not insured he's part of the muslim community that suffered the worst of the violence but he's not vengeful. we have to live peacefully together whatever has happened we have to treat it as a one off we have to forget we can't just blame the hunters or muslims both groups where there are. 3 shops down is his neighbor ganesh who's a hindu his fruit and veg shop was also burned but even after losing his livelihood he still believes in coexistence. then there is peace speaking once again start our business we have to do it to survive to earn our living there is no other way to

earn a living. it's a seed of hope that hindus and muslims can return to the peaceful coexistence they enjoyed for years a senior police commissioner visit bag thursday to reassure locals the peace has been restored but it's the presence of large numbers of security forces that people find more reassuring not words alone this is a very public confidence building measure designed to show people that the security forces have control of the streets and is now safe but many people are asking the question where were they when they needed them most. delhi police have been heavily criticised over its handling of the violence which has been described as at best negligent and worse complicit. families are slowly returning to this battleground feeling more apprehensive than safe. it seems to be peace and calm but we lost everything after our home was set on fire we only managed to salvage this cooking gas cylinder. but others like this hindu family have decided to leave the district
