wrong and this is why they use no evidence or why the evidence isn't but now and make sure that doesn't happen again. turkish forces shoot down a syrian government warplane province the 3rd in 3 days. everyone kemal santa maria here in doha with the world news from out as 011 more people have died from coronavirus in iran now the government is considering a military response to stop the spread. was of benjamin netanyahu claims victory after israel's latest election but doesn't yet have the numbers to form a majority and endorsements boost joe biden on a crucial day in the race to the white house as he tries to catch up with rival and sounds.

so turkey's shot down a syrian government warplane in the north west where turkish forces have intervened in the battle for this last major rebel held area it is the 3rd syrian fighter jet to be shot down in 3 days turkey's escalating campaign against bashar assad's forces is threatening to bring it into direct confrontation with his ally russia meanwhile 8 civilians killed in an explosion in city these the pictures from the aftermath of that a rebel controlled area dozens more people were injured in that and elsewhere fighting intensifying in the south of the country much of it said to be going on around the city of al sunna main despite a cease fire that's been in place in the area of since 2018 there are reports of at least 5 people being killed well cynical so you has more now on the from the turkey

syria border. the turkish defense ministry announced that they shut up plane along with some drones and tanks and other military vehicles all to syria and they hit those military vehicles it's throughout to operation that was conducted in the framework of a spring shield operation over the last 24 hours and the defense ministry said that there are at these $350.00 casualties among the syrian government as soldiers and it will peroration which is after it which is named after favorites went to sell one that. they were to answer to treat turkish soldiers were killed maimed us bring spring shield operation which meant to protect civilians it is still on their way and the turkish military is aiming to destroy more military capacity of the syrian government forces right ahead of a meeting between turkish president rejects a baton and his russian counterpart vladimir putin next thursday which is in 2 days

because turkey wants to have an upper hand on the diplomatic table and by pushing the syrian government forces it to the corner because in many believe that the syrian government and most school also suffer from dire economic conditions and of course the most expensive part of a war is the military and military side providing acute meant providing an air and ground capacity and it seems that the turkish military is aiming at that but the operations are still underway and this is still they are fighting over to take control as a rocket. meanwhile hundreds of refugees have been living in turkey and are trying to get through to the european union most of the massing at the border or taking boats despite warnings from greece that its borders on not been assata trying off to turkey said it would no longer stop people from going to europe something the prime minister in athens has called buckeye. this is

a blatant attempt by turkey to use desperate people to promote his jew political agenda and to divert attention from the horrible situation in syria the 10s of thousands of people who tried to and to greece over the past few days did not come from it live they have been living safely in turkey for a long period of time most of them speak turkish fluently. and europe will not be blackmailed by turkey over the refugee issue. one of the places migrants are trying to get to is the greek island of lance bass which is close to the turkish coast john psaropoulos is there for us. at the moment we don't have refugee both arriving here today because a very strong winds in the area but it is clear from what we've seen in the last 24 hours that the greek policy towards those that do come and will continue to come in the coming days has changed to the policy of open borders uneven promotion of

refugees towards its western borders with europe has led to a change in the greek policy from one of search and rescue to one of deterrence and deflection not only on land but also at sea and we've seen that in videos released by the turkish government yesterday the greek migration minister will be traveling to brussels tomorrow to ask for help specific things the greek government wants in equipment and personnel to help defend this 1000 kilometers along maritime border which is europe's main maritime border with turkey but he is also going to ask them he said this morning for pressure on turkey diplomatic pressure economic pressure i presume that means in order to bring turkey back into line as he said to respect its international commitments right now he said. is giving out fake news and weaponize and human beings in order to blackmail europe the latest on

coronavirus now another 11 people have died in iran from the disease and the virus bringing the total there to 77 which is the highest death toll outside of china more than 2300 people of south awful and ill in iran. from tehran to take us through government reaction how are they now planning to deal with this. welcome all you know ever since the beginning of this outbreak there's been a lot of criticism of the government for not reacting soon enough for prioritizing the public. response to elections for not wanting to interrupt elections and therefore not reacting quickly enough or seriously enough to reports of this outbreak but now the government is compelled it is trying to win back public trust trying to do what it can. all along members of the government have been diagnosed with this virus more so than in many other country we've seen countries we've seen

that has to do with the fact that is a political heartland it was ground 0 for the disease a lot of political serious political players were in home during the elections and now we're seeing that at least 23 members of parliament today confirmed to have contracted the coronavirus and one of the things that they've been instructed to do is even though the parliament is now in recess because of the outbreak and he's have been instructed not to interact with their constituents back home not to interact with any members of the public to help try to prevent the spread of this disease the supreme leader himself speaking today trying to urge the public to trust the government in its response and trust the government and what it's saying of course there's been a loss of public trust ever since the mishandling of the shooting down of the ukrainian airline airliner in january the government kept secret for 3 days that it was in fact responsible for accidentally shooting down the aircraft the public protested there were demonstrations there was

a violent crackdown and the internet was shut down to help control that so ever since these things happened there's been a loss of public trust the supreme leader in his speech today saying that all government agencies must cooperate with the health ministry including the military and he said that anyone who or any activity that helps stop the spread of the d.c.s. is a good deed anything that helps the spread of the virus is a sin so really putting a religious point on requiring the public's cooperation of the government thank you for that that same bus arrives in teheran. the world's top finance ministers and central bankers have promised to take action to try to protect the global economy from coronavirus though the g. 7 ministers didn't announce any immediate steps the outbreak has already affected markets infection numbers are easing in china but i also reading around the world especially in south korea and in japan there's reports the train a year. inspecting a research lab in beijing president xi jinping urges scientists to develop vaccines

leading the election results but is still one seat short of a majority with most votes counted the courage and its allies have secured 60 seats in the parliament exactly half netanyahu already claiming victory though against his main rival benny gantz his opposition bloc a social $153.00 seats this is the 3rd general election in israel in less than a year after months of political deadlock the latest now with hari forsett in west jerusalem harry what more does prime minister netanyahu have to do to get that one state. well his spokesman was on the radio this morning saying that there are members of the knesset up for grabs from other parties who could be tempted across to join a wider right wing coalition the kinds of names that have been talked about though they were very quick to say nothing doing and that these rumors were baseless so at the moment we are still stuck in the same kind of mass that we've been stuck in for

the last year or so without an obvious functional majority coalition nonetheless benjamin netanyahu is starting to have talks with members of his presumed right wing bloc he's had talks of the leader of the shas ultra-orthodox party already in the knesset he's due to have talks with the entire right wing block a little bit later on tuesday so he is seeming to take the same tactics as he did with the last election trying to shore up his core right wing block and then see if anything else could be done there are those as well who are talking about the prospects at least of a national unity government again with the opposition blue and white led by benny gantz however that would be very difficult because dance himself has consistently ruled out sitting with an indicted prime minister netanyahu trial on 3 corruption cases due to get under way in 2 weeks' time there's no doubt that he has some real

remend momentum now that he has an election victory but still not enough of a victory at least not yet with 97 percent of the votes counted to see him across the line those extra votes to be counted overnight tonight the votes from prisoners and soldiers and diplomats and then again on wednesday morning the votes from the special coronavirus voting stations they will be counted in a special tent where extreme caution be taken with those ballots harry falls and keeping an eye on the israeli election results for us from west or islam thank you your mother secretary general of the palestine liberation organization says the election results just mean for the annexation of palestinian land results we're hearing it's obvious the. settlements the next station. have won the elections in israel. and now the next step will be an accession there's the joint american israeli team that's working on it and that would only mean one thing it would mean that mr netanyahu thinks that conflict is

what provide israel's security and prosperity. in the news ahead the war in libya and how tribal loyalties are being put to the tests. welcome back it's time to take a look at weather conditions across asia and the northeastern areas we've got this developing area of low pressure giving some heavy snowfall across northern parts of north korea and the far east of russia and that's going to make its way across the sea of japan into qaida meanwhile we've got rain for the south in japan so we're seeing rain in tokyo quite a contrast with tuesday's fine day further south we've got rain across taiwan extending across southern parts of china and hong kong is likely to see some rain at times but that rain will clear way during the course of thursday for that heavy

snowfall pushing into northern parts of japan so blizzard conditions are likely here for the south more just a case of some snow showers coming on to the west coast let's head into southeastern parts of asia pretty wet picture here much as you'd expect certainly for the cross into borneo is looking very wet indeed in the same goes for much of java but should be fine conditions for kuala lumpur and singapore as we head into south asia fine picture that we have got a few showers just affecting the western guys but a more general area of rain across northern parts of india and pakistan and that's likely to stand further south into pakistan during the course of thursday we may even see some showers affecting you delhi. where there are on line like probably would be one of the worst drought to mainstream media about. or if you join us there is

a different city and inclusion. is it a listen see here this is a dialogue saying. the new ways in which they're tied to iran are and i'm a welfare everyone has a voice we as a society that is simply too big to blame need to just sit down and listen and join the colobus conversation amount to 0. top stories for you on i'll just say with this hour in turkish forces of shutdown the syrian government warplane in italy province the 3rd syrian pfizer jet to be downed in 3 days as turkey escalates a campaign against bashar al assad's forces. iran has reported another 11 people

have died from corona virus bringing the death toll to 77 that is the highest number outside of the epicenter of the virus in china. and with most of the votes counted from israel's general election prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his allies are in the lead but the right wing block is still just one seat short of a majority meaning political deadlock could yet continue. it is super tuesday big day in the race to become the democratic party nominee for u.s. president voters in 14 states will pick the person they think should take on donald trump in november's election joe biden he got another boost when the former vice president got the endorsement of 2 candidates who dropped out that is senator and he called russia and the former mayor of south bend indiana pete who judge is john hendrick he's in charlotte north carolina one of the states holding primaries so

much at stake today john. that's right and then there were 5 candidates there are actually 15 democrats listed here on the ballot but really only 5 of them are major candidates and with the exception of tool c gabbert really all 4 of the candidates who are really polling well in this race are white and over 70 that is after peter judge and me close which are both bailed out of that race and that was in an effort to try to help joe biden both of them have endorsed biden and the idea is to try to make this a 2 man race between by moderate and bernie sanders the liberal but there is a spanner being lost in that whole scenario and that is the candidacy of mike bloomberg he has not appeared on the ballot until today on super tuesday when those 14 states a territory and americans abroad all vote and bloomberg has pumped $500000000.00 into advertisements around the country hasn't performed particularly well in

debates and he's been completely untested on the ballot so today will be a test of exactly how well michael bloomberg could do and i'm here in north carolina this is a state where joe biden is going to be tested himself and that's because it's not completely dissimilar to the race that he won decisively in neighboring south carolina one out of 3 democratic voters here is african-american that is a population he has done well with this is a highly educated population as well in this state but because all of the polls were predicated on people to jamie clothes which are being in the race but none of the polls that have led up to this race are really meaningful there was one yesterday that showed senators and then bloomberg and then biden winning another one showed biden ahead and none of that means anything because really don't know with those who judge and close which are voters will go with the end of the day we could have a big surprise here on super tuesday thank you john hendren in charlotte north

carolina. we'll pick up on some of those thoughts now with rhenish on who is a conservative commentator the founder of relax strategies she's in our washington studio rena that point about amy chua and pete good to judge pulling out how big a spanner in the works do you see it is there's no doubt this is certainly a pivotal moment and this is a critical point let's not make any sort of excuses for what today could really mean bloomberg has known this for a while as your reporter just said this is a time where i believe the centrists the moderates in the democratic party are coalescing around biden because they understand the frankly what the republicans are looking for they understand that president trump once a match up with bernie sanders or even elizabeth warren that really progressive left wing portion of the democratic party and look let's let's also not to be immune to the facts here the progressives have made it very hard for the democrats

to come together early on in this primary as what was needed and so i think today what we will learn is that democrats are still divided a bit divided because biden search on saturday may not have been enough it's interesting you talk about donald trump wanting to go up against the left wing side of the party and earlier guest who we spoke to last hour actually said the opposite and gave this idea that trump might want to match up with joe biden because it's someone who he can characterize well sleepy joe biden as he calls them don pretty sure he's got names for everyone he can go after his son he can go after him with those issues as well. well this is a 2 prong attack that's going to take place before the general election of ember and it's going to come from the republican national committee and it's going to come from the truck team look they're one of the same in many ways but the republican national committee has been really stomping the pavement with this message for many years back in the day when you know over 12 years ago i was on

capitol hill and the message was truly that socialism is bad socialism kills and that's what the democrats are taking you closer and closer to your my belief is that some of it is change and that more younger americans are briefing the really the flavor of what bernie sanders and elizabeth warren are prescribing which is democratic socialism but the republicans feel pretty certain that with the large the large segment of the demographic they can still win on that message that bernie and elizabeth want to take you really off the cliff stay with us you've had a good 4 years economically speaking with another 4 with trump and i think i think that's what makes this entirely different i think trump really knows that the impeachment process weaken biden in a bit and that the mainstream american media has also been highlighting biden's gaffes how he doesn't always say the right thing i personally believe that makes him more relatable and real to the average american and so in some sense trump

knows that he will win when the republican national committee uses all the millions of dollars that he as well as i'm sorry the trumpet ministration as well as the republican national committee have raised millions he feels pretty certain the president feels pretty certain that they can win with that playbook just want to mention reno we were looking at some live pictures there of elizabeth warren in cambridge massachusetts today one of the states voting obviously a hometown for her these pictures coming in lots of us all well she's just out of there she is hugging some of her supporters elizabeth warren just for our international viewers rena just to explain. superman. choose day could reap attention they have a very clear idea of who the nominee would be or could be potentially if the white house that because i've heard that california with its large number of delegates could actually take a few days if not a week or so to actually get the full results certainly and i think that's what

makes this time very unusual and we also should not make any mistake about election interference americans in general want those free and fair elections without foreign interference people are concerned about that so i do believe that localities and states largely will take their time in counting votes the delegate allocation process on the democratic side is far more complicated than it is for republicans i was elected as a republican delegate from d.c. to the 2016 republican national convention and we don't have super delegates on the republican party side however the democrats do and that's what makes it far more complex so yes i think we're in a very different moment where we may not know by the edited a tomorrow morning about who really may be the nominee because it's not enough to say that elizabeth warren may drop out because she doesn't see a clear path in the past few days people been saying elizabeth warren does not have a clear path but i think her motive is is actually quite innocent it is not to

strip away from bernie it's a i'm a woman with a plan and you should reward me with that because bernie may be a little bit too left of even her yet and she's talking about taking it all the way to the convention in milwaukee isn't she. joining us tonight as they are thank you for that. they 7 people have been killed after a series of tornadoes swept across the state of tennessee this was the trail of destruction left in downtown nashville buildings torn apart power lines and trees brought down some polling stations also damaged which will affect the super tuesday voters. the un's nuclear watchdog is demanding answers from iran over undeclared activity at 3 sites international atomic energy agency says in the last 3 months iran has tripled its uranium stockpile 5 times the level it committed to under the 2050 nuclear deal which is made with world powers the i.a.e.a. says it wants access to those sites in question the united nations special envoy

military or the political will they could they could be doing all this did they do it the way they committed to do it my answer. libya's internationally recognized government in tripoli is also cutting nearly $30000000000.00 from this year's budget because of lost revenue from oil exports the finance minister says sensitive areas health and education for example what its major ports and oil facilities have been blockaded by have to forces since mid january it's cost the state oil company $2000000000.00 in the past month alone. and then there's tribal identity and loyalty to think about in libya these play a fundamental role in society that some reconciliation between groups has been possible but as the conflict goes on the divisions are forming child strafford reports from tripoli. the bullet holes and destruction a testament to the ferocity of

possible because of the great effort of tribal leaders and civil society groups the repeated failure of u.n. sponsored ceasefire talks means fail is a growing among many libyans that tribal divisions are being exploited. again strafford al jazeera tripoli. past the hour on al-jazeera and these are the headlines turkish forces of shot down a syrian government warplane in a province the 3rd syrian fighter jet downed in 3 days as turkey escalates a campaign against bashar al assad's forces from sin and cos you know you're on the turkey syria border poured into the turkish defense ministry the plane was shut down today. it was shut down today actually during an operation that was conducted by the turkish armed forces overnight and along with that plane there are drones
