everyday objects women make science robot gals episode full on al-jazeera. the on. the o.r. . japan faces anger over its decision to impose coronavirus travel restrictions on visitors from china and south korea. my. i'm out of my head scene and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up it's tense but moves the calm in syria said the province after a cease fire agreed by turkey and russia takes effect syrians who flooded labor among the refugees who say they feel like political pawns stark and unwanted only in whose orders and so do visit the ghosts of libya's past and explore the ancient connections to today's conflict.

my. a new political storm is brewing between south korea and japan over coronavirus quarantine measures japan's prime minister has impuls the mandatory quarantine on all visitors from south korea and china but so has protested against that calling for it to be revoked and warning it may launch cancer measures it's also protested against similar restrictions and forced by vietnam and singapore south korea has more than 6000 confirmed cases. local color new goetia cornton for visitors from both countries will be strengthened and the be required to be quantified 2 weeks of the location designated by the quantity director to be asked to refrain from using public transportation in the country. or of mcbride has more now from seoul where he says the coronavirus has rekindled all disputes. increasingly

south korea is feeling like a pariah nation and it puts up with it largely it does object to some of these travel restrictions but it does accept grudgingly that for a lot of countries especially developing countries they simply cannot afford 2 important outbreak of coronavirus from south korea they don't have the medical resources to deal with such an outbreak but there's a feeling here that japan is a big sophisticated country it has the kind of medical services you need to keep travel going to have in place screening rather than taking draconian measure such as a complete ban like this south korea is already struggling economically with this with this outbreak it's going to have dire consequences for later on this year putting in place bearish budgetary measures to deal with it but japan is such an important trading partner this is going to cause further economic pain this is what south

korea's prime minister had to say about it. yesterday the japanese government imposed a measure practically blocking the entry of all our citizens to japan we find the speed right to build and the japanese government to withdraw such an excessive and reasonable measure immediately our government will devise a proper counter measure against japan's measures. south korea's national security council has met friday to consider its response and it has talked about following a principle of receipt reciprocity which would seem to indicate that it is possibly considering exactly the same kind of ban in retaliation that should cause concern for the international community because of course it faces this global public health crisis and 2 of the most important partners in tackling that japan and south korea seem to be taking the gloves off and getting stuck into age old animosities. well johns hopkins university in the u.s. is tracking the outbreak based on w.h.o.

figures and infection numbers released by governments worldwide it's the big red circles over china and the virus viral epicenter was han indicate were most cases are right side asia the major concentrations are in the middle east mainly iran and in europe chiefly it's really over almost almost 100000 people have caught the corona virus 55000 have recovered and some 3300 have died or are to account as a medical student who has been under quarantine in an apartment in one since january 22nd a sports center there and he explains how hard it is being confined for so long the chain you go and sort of they are going to pull out it's on the basic facilities they are trying to get based on the ground of who is to provide exactly what they can do and we had a very good bead from the government of children are found in chimneys people from

the school. but. work new york. used to have this dying and we will be in order for the last 4 or 5 days and there's not possible for a human to stay and one place for their loss or definitely yeah we'll be going for the last 40 to 45 years. of the mind blowing most on the students they are. there he'll be in kind of they're here been in a kind of street they are. going to go in as they grow you can bob some sort. of issue for all of us. well as many as 300000000 students are missing classes worldwide as governments temporarily cool schools and universities in the sponsors to the outbreak

suspensions are in place in 22 countries across asia europe and the middle east thinking 14 days series several weeks the united nations says the disruption to education is unprecedented. while the virus is also spread to bethlehem and now the israeli military isn't allowing people in or out of the occupied west bank city palestinian president mahmoud abbas earlier declared a state of emergency after the confirmation of 7 cases tourists and pilgrims are banned from the area for the next 2 weeks the church of the nativity revered among christians as the birthplace of jesus is among the sites that have been closed we are abraham is in ramallah and says palestinians are worried about whether hospitals and clinics will be able to cope with an i break. well i can tell you driving this warning to the officer of the law sounded more like or looked like a ghost town it's a friday it's a weekend usually not many people are out on the streets on this hour of the

morning but you could definitely see the effects of the declaration made late on thursday by the palestinian prime minister mohammed stay he said that all educational facilities more churches parks will be closed for a month in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus the 7 cases remain in a hotel in bethlehem they were infected after a tourist delegation was in their hotel we've seen some protests in jericho actually in the west bank trying to prevent some of those patients from going there so you can sense a state of panic palestinians are scared whether their institutions is going to be able to deal with that situation particularly their day or under israeli occupation but what we know for now is that limited movement is going to be happening between palestinian cities for a month the palestinian prime minister told person is to be awaiting for more

instructions the church of nativity remains closed all tourist. areas are visions have been cancelled in an attempt to kind of control who really goes and comes to the palestinian territory as we know it is under israeli occupation and they don't have control over their borders. now people in syria as it were proven some are describing a tense calm in the more sleep rebel held region after a cease fire took effect turkey back the opposition forces brokered a deal with russia to these syrian government presidents russia time burdwan and vladimir putin agreed the deal during talks in moscow on thursday they said that they will establish a 12 kilometer wide security corridor along m 4 highway that connects the government stronghold of the tukey with syria's largest city aleppo the rival forces have been fighting for control of the m 4 and m 5 highways for months know

the town of sarah has been at the center of this because whoever controls that time has access to both motorways and skeins crucial military and economic advantages of the various areas in this map or are in government control those in green or position territory and this is the joint security corridor that russia and turkey have agreed to establish let's get more now from sin and cos yoshi joins me live now from the turkey syria border at the job because a crossing scene and the cease fire has no been brokered it's in place now and for the moment it appears to be holding what are you seeing where you are. well it is actually as you put through it's a tense and quiet day inside it there right now we haven't heard much from the

opposition or the church of the shows yet but everybody is thankful that at least there is a ceasefire brokered but no one is sure whether it's going to last or not because several cease fires have been brokered so far hella and none of them last and the free swan last of even less than 24 hours this fight agreed by moscow and so still there is. expectation that this ceasefire will not last over a month last and it is not designed to last either this is what many people think right now but of course now people are happy at least the air raids have stopped at this for today and people can have time to breath and today is friday and as you know friday prayers are important times for the civilians it together around the most ration since there are no error rates right now people are expected to gather in the demonstrations and express their opinions or reactions it's warts this cease fire agreement signed between presidents are gone and president putin well the.

e.u. a top diplomat say that the ceasefire was a precondition to provide increase the humanitarian aid inside it which is the hope by this means more than one to tarry in aid organizations might be reaching out to the civilians inside to syria and that's that's a safe area that is of all the m. 4 highway which is a bowl the name to control area might be a safe place for the civilians they say but of course there are many factions both on the syrian government side and the opposition side how they will control those factions is a question mark for instance all the syrian government's side they're also shia fighter groups backed by iran and on the opposition side there are some other factions who of who have more radical ideas about the ongoing process and side and for turkey turkey seems to have an advantage to have secured its military

observation post but many analysts say that because there is this control zone on the m 4 highway which is going to be patrolled by the russians and the turks turkey it might need to really relocate its military observation force but at least for now the turkish soldiers is seem to be safe for a while but god knows how long the says fire is going to last ok sin and cos your life is on the turkey syria border frank you. a ceremony in afghanistan's capital kabul attended by top political figures has come under attack ahead of highest cancel karim kahlil was giving a speech that was being broadcast live when shots were fired afghanistan's chief executive a door was also there but witnesses say he wasn't hurd's is not yet clear who was responsible for the attack. so to come here and i'll just seriously been brought up

in a dern a turkey for days they're stuck here trying to figure out how best to cross into greece and continue on to western europe to find the good life i'm still young but i have to of course i must live on my life here or in city of course in this situation that's. what i love i mean i think to go out from city because it was pretty good country before late in the day as the wind picked up police officers walked through the tents and clusters of people telling them they could take buses to a warm place suspicion spread as fast as the wind gusts only then we just think it was not able to we weren't be taking buses because they take us to the rev and they will give us to the creeks they take all our belongings and money and be tests and they will send us back we human beings not animals the turkish minister of interior has announced $1000.00 members of turkey's special police forces are deploying to

the merge river border with greece this is an effort to prevent greek troops from pushing back migrants who reached the country by boat the interior minister says greece tried to send 4900 people back to turkey and injured $164.00 get it military anger limit we will not provide an opportunity for the maltreatment of the people there i would like to express that we've taken the necessary measures to protect our borders from a push back and to prevent several attempts by greece which were in violation of the international. the greek government has not responded to the accusations but it's deployed additional troops along its side of the border refugees say greece is just a transit point for them many like ibrahim have crossed into the country and been deported back to turkey with awful memories ibrahim says a few days ago greek police shot him in the knees with

a rubber bullet and beat him. mean that the women attired men a target we're all tired of the police open the gate. as miserable as these refugees are they're more anguished about their loved ones back in it live at least in turkey they have found a refuge from the 9 year war in syria. al-jazeera adderley turkey. more refugees and migrants arriving on greece's islands to the government suspended new asylum applications for a month john psaropoulos tells us what it's like for families left out in the cold only islands of last boss. now this boatload of asylum seekers arrived just before sunday there are 42 of them 36 afghans 4 from african countries and 2 syrians they are going to spend the night here in this courtyard of a small chapel by the sea. but they've been given

a tarpaulin to bed down on they've been given some blankets and an evening meal and passes it there is nowhere else for them to go and that is a problem because when they arrived it was raining and their clothes soaked among them 12 very small children and infants who could easily get very sick here tonight where the air is damp there's no fire going there's no source of heat other than body heat they could have spent the night in a tent or in a local death by the unit unfortunately that was burned 3 days ago by a group of angry locals who don't want to have any sort of reception center here on the north shore of the island for more asylum seekers because the fact that turkey has opened its borders to europe and is actively sending asylum seekers to greece has angered many people and one particular faction has decided to also try and

sabotage the normal procedures that are undertaken by charities by the police and by the coast good the worst of all of course is that these people whom we've been speaking to earlier on not aware that greece is no longer accepting asylum applications as a result of turkey's border opening and that they will be picked up in the morning by buses they will be held in detention taken to athens on board a military transport ship and then the greek plan is that they will be deported back to their home countries. a court in india's capital new delhi has ordered 4 men convicted. of the 20 tiles gang rape and murder of a woman to be executed later this month the men had filled the pill since their convictions but they were rejected by the president the crimes against the students on the bus and widespread protests the fact led to tougher laws against sexual

violence including the death penalty because he's a christian and his secretary of the all india progressive women's association she says the government has not done enough to keep them safe we feel that in fact the state by. conducting this death penalty and giving it a lot of public city basically takes away from the failure to deliver on all the very many things that it can do and should do in terms of keeping women safer and more sleep for instance the status failed to spend on. invest in more of the judges and more courts so that all cases will foster it has not tried to make the whole process of investigation and trial more friendly towards women what survivors it has failed to invest in women's shelters and women support it has failed still invest even in something as basic as public transport which would allow women to

access the cities of our country more easily and more. so while we understand the anger from which the victim spent. you know the place where they are coming from their sense of anger and their sense of vindication i'm sure that it is easy to understand that but i feel that most of us in the feminist movement in india are on a different page when it comes to this issue because we feel that. questions of justice collective the question of for making women making the world more just and more see for women is not solved by hanging. germany's interior minister says the threat of right wing extremism isn't being taken seriously who is c. who for is pushing for gun owners to undergo psychological tests germany has had a spate of attacks linked to the far right most recent a gunman killed 9 people near frankfurt. thank you lee harvey of links extremists
