were seen streaming across the border earlier in the day to evacuate the wounded. returning to hatay as crowds gathered outside the hospital turkey says it's responding by attacking every known syrian government target. or says using it me sorry and also it's a lot of their forces while the border are strongly hitting the a defense systems many in the nation the pulse of the regime forces this situation was he she must be back the turkish armed forces will change everything because from now on you will see not only the opposition on the ground but also the many more around the fire power of the turkish armed forces including to aid of course it did that get the developments and it would have turned back in our favor. hours earlier president richard type had hailed the battlefield successes.

turkey has thousands of troops in its lip supporting rebel forces at war with syrian troops backed by russia turkish airstrikes have been pounding syrian government positions for days. a deescalation zone agreement between turkey and russia signed in 20 team was intended to prevent such fighting and protect 4000000 civilians living there far from deescalation there is an unfolding calamity for civilians in its loop as turkey and its rebels battle syria and russia the situation is worsening by the day. the escalation of fighting in the northwest since december has pushed over 900000 people including over half a 1000000 children away from their homes and into danger. whatever happens with socket it bones and there or any time soon turkey says it will deepen its involvement in syria against the government it's now labeled the enemy and al

jazeera let's go live now to simcoe syria lou she's in istanbul far as 33 turkish soldiers have been killed that's a significant escalation is it not walking. well those soldiers were killed during in there struck by the syrian regime as governor said last night and those people were were said to be in a building for an operation according to a recent statement by the russian defense ministry they say the incident happened where the turkish soldiers shouldn't have been and it was not coordinated this was the statement by the russian defense ministry yesterday many accuse russians because there were also talks between the turkish and russian delegation in the turkish capital ankara which lasted for 2 days and the incident happened

despite those mediation talks how to sort out the problem in school a sions zone so this statement by russian defense ministry is it perceived as as as a support again to turkey as if they are continuing their violator corp over it but also some argue that this is also a message both to the syrian rebel government and the turks because the syrian airspace is controlled by the russians and the syrian government and many experts say that the syrian government will not do anything without consulting the. russian air forces so this is a conflict right now but i have to tell that the incident yesterday happened around 4 pm in zawiya. and around 6 pm local time after the turkish soldiers were hit in that building again there were numerous casualties the turkish military had used drones both weapons both form than

on armed drones it which entered syrian airspace and the russian the russian government didn't say anything against turkey when the turkish drones violated that it was. grayson entered syrian airspace and bombed some specific areas that belong to the syrian government this is the situation and also addition to that those soldiers who were killed were brought to a 100 district border town with syria and as far as i have learned from my sources only 9 of the soldiers were and were able to be identified because most of them were heavily burned and they are trying to collect d.n.a. samples from the families to be able to identify and the rest of the killed soldiers sin if it turns out that russia is behind this strike this is aggrieved escalation in this conflict is it not how is turkey going to respond to this.

well. so far it has been a conflict between syria and turkey but now the dynamics of the ground have changed and now the concept is more like a war concept and the reactions of course came from the turkish officials yesterday yes the last night we heard from several high level turkish sources confirming a line by an international news agency that suggests a turkey will not stop refugees from crossing crossing from turkey to europe anymore you know turkey and it has a deal to stop those illegal crossings from turkey into the european countries and most of the syrian refugees also afghan and pakistani refugees have been through a have been trying to seek asylum and refuge in europe by illegally crossing the agency or illegally crossing turkey's border with bulgaria and greece on the

western side and you will all remember many people were were killed during those dangerous trips in the agency because the boats got flooded a baby is died so the same turkey is corso gars how worked very hard to stop those illegal crossings based on the deal but last night our party spokesperson ruling party spokesperson said that there is no change in turkey as a refugee policy but it's a fact that turkey will not be able to control laws or refugees then or more and people are expected to flock to the borders and to the coast ok sin and cos we were there live for us in istanbul thank you very much in seeds. now the world's largest economies are being hit hard as the coronavirus i'd break rocks the stock markets in asia shares permitted on friday morning japan's nikkei stock

average was very nearly 3.5 percent at the end of the morning session and all 3 major u.s. indices are on track for their steepest week later kline's since the 2008 global financial crisis the dow alone dropped 4.4 percent on thursday that says largest one day point drop in history now in europe london's footsie $100.00 index fell by nearly 3.5 percent it's lost more than a $150000000000.00 in the past 4 days now the international monetary fund has responded to the effects of the virus on the global economy here's what we had to say a lot just depends on. the speed of recovery in in china and in other countries the spillover effects. the effects on supply chains and. the extent to which other countries maybe significantly

affected. well with more on how the virus is affecting global markets we're joined by our business editor the abbot good to have you where there's just explain for us how significant is this shift so what we're seeing right now is a lot of panic because we just don't understand where the end of this process is going to be where the virus is going to go in the future this is not something that central banks can rescue the situation with rate cuts this really does require policymakers to make a shift it requires the medical community say yes you know we've got to hang on this particular problem so as long as that happens we can expect markets to go lower now we're down 10 percent what happened in 2018 was that markets came down about 20 percent especially in the us which is a bear market and that was because they were concerned that the u.s. federal reserve was going to keep interest keep raising interest rates and that

concern was overcome by basically the fed stepping up and saying you know we're going to we're going to cut rates so what we're seeing here now is is basically a real fear that profits at companies will be really hit hard and a lot has been said by goldman sachs on this particular thing but also microsoft apple both of them are come out and say listen you know our supply chains in china have been badly affected by this so you know you won't expect new x. box coming very soon you won't expect your new your latest laptops coming through so that's going to hit or hit our bottom line so we're seeing a real supply side effect on the global economy as well as demand because consumers you know they might go into the into panic mode and start buying you know medical supplies or whatever but you know that kind of panic can be kind of negative to the to the global economy now the i.m.f. is likely to come out and lower the growth rates for the global economy from 3.3 percent to possibly. below the 3 percent mark now in china

itself you know we're expecting growth rates off of. possibly 2 percent in the 1st quarter and it's really important these percentage points are really really important because china's been aiming for 6 percent and they need 6 percent to create jobs they've lost 4000000 jobs because of the trade war last year and they have between 8 to 10000000 people coming to the market every single year that's young people coming on to the market who need jobs and you need to have continued growth in the economy to create jobs for those people and so it sounds like there's a lot of moving parts here is still very very uncertain but whenever we see these numbers stock markets 14 percent 10 percent or whatever just give us a sense of what sort of real time effects people are likely to feel as a result of this crisis so you know 1st of all let's remember that these markets are trying to catch up with news you know the u.s. is really bad a pricing in what's happening in asia asia is really bad at pricing in what's

happening in the middle east and so you see overall reactions in different parts of the world because they don't have a speciality to understand what's happening regionally and so we're seeing that we're seeing a possible possible overreaction but possibly because you know we just don't understand where this this possibly this pandemic is going to end up so that's the reason why we're seeing this now it was considered that many of the markets were overpriced currently and people are looking for a reason to get out of stocks to sell down to cash in on the profits and that's possibly one of the effects that we're seeing at this very moment as well ok. thanks very much indeed. now the number of confirmed new cases in china continues to slide on friday as reported 327 new cases this is lowest in more than a month cases in south korea though rolls by 200 and $56.00 that takes the total to

more than 2000 south korea's the hardest hit outside of china and the military has been drafted in to fight the outbreak of the spiking cases that's forced vietnam to suspend visa free travel to south korea it's a so far recorded 16 cases of covert 19 and nigeria has confirmed a case the 1st in sub-saharan africa while in iran one of the vice presidents of the country has been diagnosed with the vice with a virus rather let's get more now from sarah clarke she joins us from hong kong sarah just give us a sense of the general developments across asia how is it looking there. well as you mentioned south korea still has the highest number of cases out of china 256 new cases confirmed on friday now i should say of that 256 cases and 182 of them were in the area of daegu which is

a city in the southeast and this is the city where the secret what the biz been described as a secret cult or the religious group in the shin changi. more than a week ago and this is true this particular case of this gathering triggered quite a large cluster of positive cases there's been a lot of anger targeted towards that church for failing to identify themselves earlier and failing to identify the situation there earlier so $25060.00 cases in total 2022 cases across south korea and now south korea has escalated its testing capacity in the last 24 hours it's tested around 9300 people about the government's top trying to track down members of that religious group whom it at that particular gathering trying to identify who they are and test them in a bid to try and contain the spirit across south korea but the concern in the area of daegu which is the area where that church group met the concern there is a lack of the number of hospital beds to deal with the rising number of cases or

infections of the coronavirus that the government has announced 2 tranches of a relief package in total around $30000000000.00 where they'll try and deal with not only the economic fallout from the corona virus spread in south korea but also target all boost and medical supplies to deal with the situation now while the crown of our spirit continues globally china appears to be stabilizing at the moment 327 cases on friday 44 deaths but most of those were in the province and this is been the last rise in the new cases since january 24 panshin zurab i mentioned on thursday that all public schools will be closed and this will affect around 11000000 students across japan and in japan they've got about 200. 14 cases but that doesn't include of course madonna princess which was there the cruise ship which had the high number of cases from a different number of different nationalities and i should say in the last couple of hours new zealand has confirmed its 1st case it's
