you're still with the sport french champion's parents become the latest team to be disrupted by the coronavirus as they came to strasburg is called all. 3 saudi arabian princes a reported to been detained by mosque men in what may be a new power battle in the kingdom one of them is the king's younger brother the other a former crown prince said to be accused of a coup attempt well just as alexey o'brien begins our coverage. the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon has moved to consolidate power since removing his cousin mohammed bin nayef is age of the throne and $27.00 tane now 3 years on the knife is reportedly accused of trying to push out the crown prince and that seen him and his brother detained as well as the saudi king's youngest brother ahmed bin

abdulaziz there are some kinds of rumors and innuendoes and there is turmoil within the family in the form of criticism but that doesn't justify you know being arrested like criminals with mass security forces coming to their homes and yanking him out of their private residences mohamed bin solomon known as has a reputation for cracking down on anyone who opposes him 27 tane dozens of senior members of the royal family and billionaire businessmen were rounded up and detained at a luxury hotel in riyadh the saudi government said it was an end to corruption drive rights groups disagreed. hundreds of activists including women's rights campaigner illusional have to are also in prison. he's not worried about people trying to make a call he doesn't want any independent voices that don't agree with him and it's not for the. rumors of 3 people on the council of royal members in saudi arabia

that decides the succession he was one of the 3 who didn't vote for him had been summoned to become the crown prince mohammed bin solomon's most notorious legacy so far is the 2018 killing of saudi journalist. in the kingdom's consolation a stone boat he was murdered by a hit squad made up of some of been solomon's personal entourage his body dismembered and of a found the cia concluded that the crown prince must have known about the operation if not ordered it himself. who is the most senior 3 and. actually overseas for many years came back. ears ago to kind of try to calm things down. after b.s. took over and there were some. kind of turmoil within the royal family the prince of wales' return to the kingdom in 2018 came weeks after he appeared to criticize

the saudi leadership during a protest in london against the saudi u.a.e. led war in yemen one of my it is you know what does the whole of the al saud family have to do with this there are certain individuals responsible in the king to try and prince and others in the state. prince ahmed and mohammed bin nayef were both seen as possible rivals to the throne when i say 4 year old king solomon dies reports suggest they now face long term imprisonment or even death brian al-jazeera . is director of the gulf studies center cattle university he says that the arrest reflects a crisis within the saudi royal family. what we see today is actually has a great link to what happened in 2015 since a concerned man came to power and then he assigned his son the crown prince and we know that for example 100 iraqis came back from london in 2018 who did get into it with a british and european guarantee and he would not be they will not have

a new role in politics we know that mohammed bin nayef and really you know house arrest so it it doesn't make sense to speak about actually sort of anything what happened reflects a crisis within the house of saud that number 7 man is not sure about was the reality of this family and that that is takes us to other where basically if man or he is in a situation to pass to pass away this means he needs people and he doesn't need any . i would say war against him and those are the most important figures in the family so far i think it's important to see that 100 percent man and the severe depression since the killing of 2 my heart stopped because basically the united states. you know had the support time he has he lost the credibilities that is little communication with him personally with the americans as he used to have so there is severe pressure on him and also there is severe pressure inside saudi

arabia about you know the economy is not moving in a good direction that i'm cool project is fading apart you know there's a lot of criticism about the entertainment policy he's basically promoting saudi arabia all of this to do that with him and there's a bit of pressure an iranian politician has died after contracting the coronavirus as health authorities there reported $21.00 new deaths over the past 24 hours it brings the total number of fatalities in iran to 145 while daily 6000 infections have been confirmed across the country but iran's moscow thora say has postponed all group present gatherings until further notice let's go by now to the iranian capital tehran al-jazeera same bus ravi is the. tell us about some of the challenges the greatest challenges that are affecting iranians right now. well it has to be said that one of the biggest problems the government is facing while trying to address this while trying to control the spread while trying to stop the spread and treat those that have contracted the coronavirus is getting the public

on board with guidance to restrict their movements and really that is the compounding problem here in iran there are really 2 tracks here there is the health ministry trying to control the illness trying to deal with the spread of this virus and the economy of the country and really if they don't want to bring the country to a standstill placing mass quarantines on cities and towns bringing the country to a standstill will definitely hurt the economy so the government is really caught between what how to address the health crisis and how to keep the country from bringing coming to a total standstill the health ministry during the public briefing today said that it is considering severe restrictions on people's travel on people's movement that's compound and what they said yesterday which is that they could use force to keep people from moving between cities to keep people even from moving inside their own cities but when you're out on the streets you see that there are still people

going about their day they're going to work there they're going to their shops they're opening their doors to customers and really that's because iranians if they stop working the economy is already struggling so much that any sort of hit economically see people's home incomes to their to their. income on a daily basis we could be catastrophic and that could create the instability of a different kind the interior ministry today taking a decision that seems to contradict what the health minister is trying to do announcing that all government jobs will go back to normal later this week people will begin working normal hours once again this while home the city where this outbreak was 1st detected the number of cases there continues to rise. today the city is on lockdown as government workers sanitize city streets and during the health ministry briefing mr numrich you say no mickey said that we are dissatisfied

with people who are not heeding government advice we were forced to tighten quarantines inside cities and towns and prevent people not from those cities and towns from entering certain provinces he's also asked people to cancel any sort of large ceremonies or weddings during the period of this crisis al-jazeera same describe the reporting live there from teheran saying many thanks indeed meanwhile governments around the world are introducing new measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus in south korea the sale of mosques is being restricted to 2 for every person once a week or more than 7000 cases they're the most outside china and it's only the number of deaths has risen to 197 after the biggest daily increase in fatalities since the outbreak began schools universities and cinemas have already been ordered to close and there's concern in a straight after it was revealed that a doctor who has the virus treated 70 patients the doctor had recently been on a trip to the us and returned showing symptoms the doctor from that tareq clinic in

mulvane wrote consulted approximately 70 patients for 5 days between monday the 2nd of march and friday the 6th of march look i have to say i am absolutely flabbergasted that a doctor who has experienced flu like symptoms has presented to work let's hear now from al-jazeera is rob mcbride in seoul with updates on how the government there is dealing with the outbreak. we've seen in the past few days a fairly steady increase of between 4 or $500.00 per day if anything it's a slight decrease day on day but we're told by officials not to read too much into that they continue to see spikes and could expect to see more spikes as they as they go through doing more testing especially around the daegu city area of the southeast of the country and come across more clusters of cases especially amongst the congregation members of the sheen changi church which is at the center of the

outbreak down in the south of the country the other thing that the officials here remind us about is of course that the testing now is almost on an industrial scale i think something like more than 170000 individual tests for the corona virus have been carried out here in south korea since this crisis began it's not a very enviable reputation but south korea has found itself has pretty much willed experts in detecting the corona virus testing for it and trying to contain it and you compare how the testing is so extensive here with for example neighboring japan which despite its sophisticated medical services has been criticized for not undergoing so many tests and also of course the united states which is faced a lot of criticism for its lack of tests it's not surprising that the experts here in south korea are often being referred to are often being asked for guidance from other countries medical services around the world the proportion of people who have

died after contracting the coronavirus is in disputed the world health organization says that it's around 3.4 percent but some health experts believe that would be much lower if more people were tested under serious katrina given spoken to harm resident who was considered a symptomatic he didn't know he was infected until he had the test. the change and shown daily meal deliveries are the highlight of his day the 100 residents has recovered from the current of ours but he has to stay cornton at this hotel for 2 weeks he says getting infected came as a surprise. i almost had 0 symptoms i steer a few times and it was a few days that's all i always want to sleep but i was never feeling too bad ching gen is considered a symptomatic displaying few or no specific symptoms his parents also caught the

virus his mother had a fever but his father also had very few symptoms after 2 weeks at a makeshift hospital and without undergoing any treatment change and tested negative for the illness former world health organization official do says asymptomatic patients are not unusual. we've seen that everywhere all over the word these people test positive show no symptoms if we group them as patients after the tested positive with have too many patients they are not strictly patients but rather the virus carriers while the corona virus can cause pneumonia and lead to other health complications health officials say 80 percent of people who catch the current virus only have mild symptoms experts say this means asymptomatic patients may go untested and can spread the illness without knowing but there is good news the good news is many people who don't show symptoms can develop immunity if people

develop this immunity the epidemic eventually with slowly disappear medical experts are still learning about the severity of the virus but over the age of 60 and with other underlying health concerns appear to be the worst affected ching jentzsch says his experience shows there's no need for people to be too alarmed. the subway is a bad thing for the whole society but as individuals we don't all have to panic for me i didn't feel much i had no fever it was a better than the cold with a week left in quarantine he's looking forward to leaving the hotel and daily food deliveries behind. al jazeera beijing in the u.s. at least 15 people have died from the virus the number of confirmed cases is on the rise now since of more than 250 among those cases a 21 people aboard

denied the allegations at no time during this response has c.d.c. ever denied a request that came from a public health official either state or local to test the patients out of all the patients who needed to be tested and the opinion of the public health officials have been tested but officials also struggle to answer has the corona virus in the u.s. been contained we're going to see more cases because we're getting more diagnostics out there but i would say that again what i said before that at the present time don't receive or probably remain slow but also on friday new cases were confirmed in houston minnesota colorado and maryland and while sanitation workers try to scrub the gritty subways of new york the arts and cultural festival south by southwest which brings hundreds of thousands of visitors to austin texas every year

a $1000000000.00 stew on monday the debt repayment is just a small part of the $91000000000.00 that the country owes that's 150 percent of lebanon's economic output one of the heaviest debt burdens in the world the prime minister president and central bank governor met on saturday to reach a decision let's go live to beirut and to al-jazeera. has it come to that cena. well a formal announcement is expected in the coming hours but statements that are being made by officials signal that lebanon is going to default on that this will be the 1st time in history assign a signal on how deep the financial and economic crisis is in the country $1200000000.01 of a few payments that the lebanese government paid before the end of the year up to $5000000000.00 until the end of the year it may seem like just a small amount but it just shows you that this country does not have enough foreign

currency reserves the foreign currency reserves are dwindling so the government has to make a choice pay the debts or pay the imports that that are needed fuel medicine $10000000000.00 just to import the basics. before the end of the here and this is a government that does not have many friends in the international community for 2 reasons one it hasn't showed any commitment that it is ready to carry out structural and economic reforms this is a demand the international donors have made time and time again one of them is to trim the public sector they believe that there's a lot of waste in the public sector politicians use the public sector use the state's resources to maintain support among its own among their own constituencies and that's not the only reason why some of the international community led by the united states and its allies of the region consider this government to be hezbollah

controlled the iranian backed group that they have been trying to contain they're trying to contain iran's influence in the region so they see this government is controlled by hezbollah and that is why they don't want to give it any source of funding and the only option levanon has right now to secure foreign funding is to resort to the international monetary fund but the government is against the big reasons the 1st it's because it's going to involve raising taxes on popular measures that will not be welcomed by the lebanese and hezbollah considers that a tool that is being used by the united states so this country really doesn't have a lot of choices the economic crisis is only getting worse you see companies closing unemployment is on the rise inflation is on the rise and the lebanese lira is losing its value at least 40 percent of its value on the black market and the words of the prime minister the new prime minister he said that we face immense difficulties and the state can no longer provide

a decent life at night to the lebanese people i was there as i know how to reporting live from beirut let's talk to somebody not a who's the director of the levant institute for strategic affairs he also joins us live from beirut good to have you with us sami what does this decision mean for credits confidence in lebanon if it defaults now what does that do to anyone who might want to loan to lebanon. i mean this would be detrimental for the bond prices and for that have been. especially if decision is an ounce with any commitment for reforms without any decision to go to that. because it's expected that about on has nor has any has not anymore that equated he required to pay for for the bomb squad bomb. this is this is no secret however what is expected from the government

is to announce his willingness to go to the i.m.f. because this may ease the bond holders because they will see that the government is serious about that he form and the value of the bond. will be contained because in absence of a decision of that sort in the absence of the government announcing that he's he's going to i have if he didn't do it this would be death 3 months for the one crisis and can see quickly for that event easily it out we will witness a shot of the body ation because it was sold out of this government has no intention to go for the deform and to fix. finance other i was going to ask you what what this is going to do to the lira and what it will do to the spending power of ordinary people in lebanon who are struggling already obey.

yeah exactly been easier has lost up to now 40 percent of its value was a such a decision today i mean announcing that the 4th will do enormous pressure on very bad knees and consequently on the purchasing power of that he benny's citizen this is why the only decision that is it acquired today to contain this sudden collapse is the decision. of a clear cut decision of the bunny's government that he's willing to go to the i have because this is the only available option and knowledge that they would live on a did not miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity to lead the last opportunity god was during april 2018 more than one year ago when the international community in paris at what we call the said conference proposed

a financial package of 811 $1000000000.00 provided that he got a d. for up to now that the forms were not get it out this option was gone and now his left was our only and sole option the i.m.f. and their fears are very hard that he would not go because he will abide by the will of hezbollah who is politicizing the issue could start to say many thanks for this summit out of that live in beirut. turkey's president. is expected to head to brussels on monday amid a border standoff with the european union last week turkey said that it would open its border with europe because it could no longer cope with the number of people playing conflict in syria greek police of 5 to gas of migrants and refugees trying to cross tens of thousands of been attempting a journey thousands more have been heading for the greek islands that's triggered a backlash against aid groups are supporting refugees and migrants there johnson

a wind up by the government as well as the local authorities every thinks the ngos fault. you know the ngos come here they take all the money everything couse the refugees are getting $400.00 a month and think that it is just the constant lies coming out in the press and everything counts and the constant propaganda coming out at the height of the refugee crisis in 2015 lesbos became a symbol of humanitarianism and tolerance more than half of the 1000000 or so asylum seekers who arrived in europe from turkey came here and locals and close to them 5 years on however island communities are tired of protecting europe from irregular migration those who live near the refugee camp of moria are upset about the loss of security and property but only brush with the house next door has been burgled 7 times we've lost count he even took the roof tiles off to get in on one occasion they took what they could and destroyed everything else. but refugees

carried out since sunday killing dozens of people mainly members of the afghan security forces. the increase in hostilities was triggered by afghanistan's president a 70 refusing to release up to 5000 taliban prisoners as guaranteed by the doha agreement the afghan government did not take part in that agreement and says this is a matter that should be negotiated during the upcoming interim afghan talks the taliban insist they must be free before the negotiations start they needed it in east to be free to sooner rather than later degree wind has been criticised within the taliban's ranks and there are reports of fighters defecting to other groups like isis and. brutally the around the city there are one thing but inside there are differences there are taliban in afghanistan there are taliban leadership from pakistan who don't agree there. clarence and prior

systems and all through politically there are taliban who are trained and educated in one place and groups who are educated in another area that has a difference. the group feels this now in a position of strength. says it has also evolved since the day he was attorney general of the taliban government in the 1990 s. . the taliban is definitely the winner but before we rule alone that is change the taliban wants to have a government that will include all ethnicities but there are red lines one is the withdrawal of all foreign troops and their advisors the implementation of islamic law is also a red line because we paid a heavy price but whether the country is called islamic emirates or not is open to negotiation the government wants the taliban to desire after agreeing on a ceasefire that attacks are likely to continue just as they did during negotiations with the us afghans paying the price once again but at the.
