coronavirus scientists race to find a vaccine to stop the epidemic plus the environmental damage of drilling for oil in the republic of. counting the cost of al-jazeera. al-jazeera. and i'm a clown this is a news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes 16000000 people a quarantine in italy that locks down towns and cities including milan and venice over the coronavirus outbreak. i'm nicholas hawke on the outskirts of the capital the car senegal with several cases of corona virus across the continent find out next what the governments here are doing to tackle the outbreak and why people are

scared. the silence from saudi arabia as more arrests are reported after the detention of 2 senior princes in talk of a power struggle. also ahead we'll be live in the greek island of lesbos were a fire has destroyed a camp for migrants. with the sport just days to go before the start of the formula one season organists announced the 2nd race on the calendar in bahrain will take place behind closed doors because of coronavirus. so there definitely is imposing tough restrictions on a quarter of its population looking down its 2nd largest city and more than 60000000 people to try and stop the spread of coronavirus is just how it is biggest rise in cases since the outbreak began with more than $1200.00 confirmed on saturday of the lockdown includes the entire region. long body where they tell him

outbreak began and where the most deaths have been recorded home to 10000000 people no one will be able to move in or out of the area and that includes the economic capital of milan the lock down will also impact several other provinces that includes friendless affecting another $6000000.00 people restrictions a set to remain until early april victoria gate and b. has the latest. in casual in northern italy people rushed to the train station desperate to leave the city before it was put into lockdown but it's too good to talk i read 2 hours ago that they may be putting out an urgent to cream putting in the red zone and because i'd like to return down south to my relatives i decided to go earlier. prime minister just said picante has signed a decree to impose an unprecedented large scale quarantine in the long bloody region home to 10000000 people to limit the spread of coded 19 there's.

now we have restrictive measures for a much wider area because it wasn't making any sense to say a lot of small red zones while infections have spread all over lombardi and in the provinces we listed. this comes after italy reported more than $1200.00 new infections in one day there's going to be. many things that again to be closed like jinns cultural centers. all sorts of areas where people get together in large groups restaurants and bars however appear it appears they will be kept. pope francis he's fighting a cold his council public appearances and will deliver his regular sunday press to crowds at the vatican by live stream and the leader of one of his least 2 ruling parties has announced that he has coronavirus all caught on a so it is arrived i have coronavirus today obviously i'll be monitored like

everybody else in the situation i feel fine so it was decided that i'll be isolated at home also my family is falling all the protocols for the situations italy is the worst affected country in europe but france germany and the netherlands have all reported a rise in the number of cases while malta slovakia and serbia have confirmed that 1st infections victoria gave him the al-jazeera. joins us live now from london a. very much the focus of things in europe and extreme measures now employed. absolutely in with more than a quarter of the population effectively under lockdown we're just hearing reports also that the president of the piedmont region is also has also now tested positive for covert 19 but essentially what you have now is you have hospice you have schools gyms nightclubs all areas where sort of public people people can congregate

effectively shut down all these public venues closed until april the 3rd across the country it really is quite a strict lockdown that there is being imposed in the country to try and contain $1000.00 as much as possible and of course you've got 2 major cities of it under lockdown as well and venice but of course the economic capital of italy in venice of course drawing so many tourists every year as well and while you have said he our football games still taking place but behind locked doors the head of the italian football association has in fact written to prime minister conti to stop the games out right another measure that to try and stem further infections as well also religious ceremonies such as weddings and funerals are also

going to be about and as well of course with the large numbers of people congregating at certain points is a prime opportunity for infection to take place across large groups of people however health care workers have had their holiday and their annual leave cancelled during this time as a way of trying to be available as much as possible for this crisis that has engulfed the country. but of course it's not just italy it's also france as well where now 949 cases have been recorded of over 1000 us including 2 national assembly lawmakers that there are now 16 people who died from cove at 19 as well and that's according to the head of the public health service germany there more than $680.00 cases but still as of yet no deaths from the novel coronavirus or it's only really there for the moment thanks very much indeed for that update so if you're there in london let's take this on we can speak to dr

laura tell yani she's a professor of infectious diseases at the clinic of infectious and tropical diseases disciplines university of rome joins us on skype from rome though to tell jani 1st of all these measures that have been put in place is this the sort of thing that just has to happen to beat the virus. well this seems to be very difficult to observe measures but indeed we really need them but it's like a kind of war a war makes restrictions our work makes. and this is a war against a virus and the only way we know it's possible to control the virus is to restrict. the spread and since we are responsible of the spread. by which the virus passes from the person to another and moved replies the number

of infected people the only way we can we have to control the spread of the virus is reduce contacts between humans right because initially there was some criticism of the effectiveness of coron team but it is proved to work in china and today we're hearing that china is reporting 44 new infections which is the lowest daily number since the outbreak began do you think that's because of the lockdown that they put in place there. sure the most effective measure were in china was the parent team and it's clear that in a large population of 60000000 people that rare the area how who are in all around. cost reduction the firm strong attraction of an infected old number of infected person and the state of the art yesterday the number of new infections in china was less compared to the number of new

infected in in italy and in means that if we really end you gently need to. to impose this kind of restriction right and all the authorities are climbing the need for respecting them and it argues that it all it depends on the attention with which italians will observe these restrictions writes a guide to learn english that italian sound much better than we majored in so i am confident we can apply these measures very effective well not to tell on a given everything you've just said is there for ben something that should have been done sooner in italy and should other cities around the world kind of preempt the spread by going into lockdown straight away. welcome by the but as a matter of fact the current teen in some areas of lumber he started on the

23 of february so no complaints about what happened because really it appeared to be even a little bit too extreme when did the current team in d.c. area as rare a plight but now we know that it was a very well there are. very good decision. dr gloria tony on is just fantastic to get your professional expertise on this to do appreciate it thanks very much indeed thank you. let's bring you up to speed on the other crane a virus updates from around the world in the united states cruise ship with an outbreak onboard will dot now in the city of oakland off to san francisco turned away 21 infections have been confirmed after testing kits were dropped on board the grand princess is carrying 3 and a half 1000 people mainland china reported 44 new infections on saturday the lowest

daily number as we were just discussing since the outbreak began but no new cases were were reported outside the epicenter of a province and at least 10 people in china been killed after a hotel used as a coronavirus quarantine center collapse rescue workers pulled 47 out from under the rubble many are still missing well let's speak now to katrina you who is live for us in beijing let's just start with that hotel collapse what more do we know. right so we know that this hotel collapse on saturday evening trapping about 70 people this hotel has about between 5 to 7 stories it's a steel structure and it's not an old building it was only built in 2018 so we're trying to find out the reason for this hotel collapse there has been some speculation that some refer bushman being done on the ground floor was a reason behind why the structure gave way and there's been an awful lot of

frustration around this because many of the people trapped in the hotel were people who were being told to stay in there to be quarantined an isolated to prevent the spread of coronavirus so they weren't there by choice they were there essentially to be monitored for the sake of their health and the health of the community outside so it's extremely frustrating that that protective measure has had devastating effects on the people there the hotel manager has been other than a lot bigger part and has been detained and is currently being questioned and we know that emergency teams are working around the clock there still several people underneath the rubble and the central government has also sent an additional workers to help try to rescue people but yes as you said 10 people have died so far . the flipside to the joint reporting its lowest number of new infections since in a single day. that's right

according to official figures it looks like the spread outside of hoover province has essentially been contained we had $44.00 cases reported in the last 24 hours 41 of those cases were inside who bay but outside who were there were only 3 cases reported and of those 3 cases they were all cases where people were infected abroad not inside china so the chinese government is really latching on to this and and sort of declaring a kind of victory we're seeing headlines was she didn't things picture saying victory is at hand at this in this people's war against the outbreak and it's definitely i mean it is a very positive sign considering that 2 weeks ago we were seeing thousands of cases reported in a single day so it's definitely good news at the latched onto by the government as a as a sign that their heavy handed measures locking down 60000000 people that's the equivalent of the population of the u.k. preventing them from leaving their homes has essentially work to shutting down public transport have been people from going to work but of course it's also in

a way being used to laze some of that criticism that they mishandled the outbreak in the 1st place when it 1st started early in this year wrote well that's a picture of america to you thanks very much lead swim across to hong kong where protests is taking place over a plan to set up coronavirus clinics in residential neighborhoods without consulting the locals today there are $113.00 confirmed cope with $1000.00 cases in hong kong and 2 people have died let's get more from sarah clarke who study by force in hong kong. tell us more about why people are so upset. well we've had a number of rallies over recent weeks the one on sunday this is in an area called typo which is in the northern part of the city it was yet another community rally in this that the people here are concerned about these quarantine centers or the coronavirus clinics being set up in these districts which are of got a quite a high urban density quite highly populated areas and they're simply concerned

because number one they worry about the risk of infection in these highly populated areas and they're also and the angry about the government and not consulting the community before setting these clinics up now there are couple 100 people there the right place didn't take long to move in and then we saw a number of other anti-government or pro-democracy groups join this rally now pepper spray was used on some of the people attending this particular rally and the police tried to disperse the crowd of certainly some chaotic scenes in the area of typo this merely rallies against a crowd of vice clinics but these particular rallies are turning into what most why the movement the anti-government movement is uniting with these communities against the clinics and the police are moving in and being quite heavy handed when it came to today's rally that dispersed the crowd they declared it and legal assembly and move those people out now we've also had a police press conference in the last hour where the police have confirmed that overnight they arrested 17 people over what was up by a number of bomb plots across the city where 2 of those bombs actually detonated

and one near a hospital another one nations in so it's part of a crackdown by the place to try and arrest those people who are part of this bomb plots they've confirmed 2.6 tons of chemical devices were found and they describe it as a bomb making factory at some of the homes where these arrests were made so certainly the government still moving in and the police are still moving in to try and make arrests of those people involved in those anti-government protests or 0 thanks very much indeed a circle out there in hong kong. spread across to the other side of the world to the united states pretty cold rain is in washington d.c. where there's been a significant development in the coronavirus outbreak linked to 2 political conferences held in the city recently. there is news coming out of washington d.c. that is going to have political leaders very concerned there were 2 big conferences in the capital in just the last couple of days one was the conservative political action committee that's basically a republican lobbying organization and they had a huge with the american israel public affairs committee or

a pac they had their annual conference in washington d.c. now we are hearing reports that the attendees at both of those conferences have been detected to have the coronavirus so the big concern is going to be did it spread among that group the conservatives and the organization and all of the 800000 attendees that were in that giant conference center so this is obviously going to become a great concern for political leaders we expect that the numbers in the united states are going to rise dramatically here's why there really hasn't been very much testing for the corona virus in the united states because at 1st the federal agency that was tasked to create the test sent it out it didn't work they just then a few days a few days ago a lot of private labs to come up with their own test well they sent out their test to the public health agencies so there just aren't a lot of test kits out there now u.s. president said anyone who needs a task can get

a test but we're hearing from other health officials on the ground and also within the administration that that is simply not the case they hope to ramp up the testing a lot by hundreds of thousands in the next couple of days perhaps by the millions so we should see a pretty sizable increase in the number of coronavirus cases here in the united states but in large america it's now reported the 1st coronavirus death filmy told in several countries in the region including colombia chile and peru have all of the 1st cases. meanwhile israeli and palestinian authorities are continuing their efforts to try and contain the virus that's after 16 cases were identified in the occupied west bank city of bethlehem and tourists have been banned from entering the city and a roadblock has been put up to quarantine quarantine the area and ramallah teams in protective clothing have been disinfecting and the sites countries in africa have been till now escaped the worst of the coronavirus operate but there have been new

cases in the cameroon and in togo and at least 45 infections have been confirmed elsewhere on the continent nicholas reports now from senegal where authorities are implementing measures to try and stop the spread. the corona virus is spreading in africa on tuesday a french couple with flu like symptoms tested positive for the virus in this hospital with multiple new cases many of the nursing and medical staff have been sent home hundreds are in self-imposed quarantined pharmacies are running out of masks and sanitizers some are even resorting to traditional remedies and the hope of fighting off the virus is going to individualize you need to eat garlic at least 3 times a day and that will stuff carone of others especially older people have been coming to me hoping that this will protect them when you're going to be i mean don't count on that remedy though the world health organization says there's no evidence that eating garlic has protected people from the new coronavirus so far all the cases on

the african continent are not coming from china like experts predicted but from europe the outbreak that began in the north of italy is quickly spreading beyond european borders we are not far from the pandemic most on the continent is not enough capacity for example for intensive in senegal an emergency crisis cell has been put in place similar to the one during the 201416 bull outbreak over 11000 people died from that virus mostly in west africa. the government does not want to see the virus spread in neighborhoods like this where there's a shortage of water frequent power cuts and the sanitation systems are not up to scratch people here live in close proximity and this is a virus that's highly contagious so help that authorities say the way to stop the outbreak is early detection this is where blood samples of suspected cases are being tested a facility few african countries have and so for professor county avoiding contact

including handshakes is a best way to prevent the virus from spreading we need to explain to. them that they don't need to be afraid they guess need. before law or prevention aspect while fear of the virus is spreading faster than the virus itself so was the misinformation on social media rumors that africans are immune to the virus so that hot weather or local remedies can destroy it with some saying that covert 19 is a western invention it's a challenge for african states with the epidemic gaining ground and misinformation has become ass contagious as the virus itself nicholas hawk al-jazeera the car. by moving on a 4th senior prince is reported to have been detained in saudi arabia but the hasn't made any official response from the government has made the report say the former head of army intelligence that's prince not been ahmed is among those now

being held the wall street journal says dozens of officials and army officers have also been arrested alexia bronzes from the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon has moved to consolidate power since removing his cousin muhammad bin nayef as edge of the throne and 27 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 words and innuendos terrorist 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 your 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 anti corruption dr rights groups disagreed. hundreds of activists including women's rights campaign allusion i'll 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. reason one of the 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 some man to become the crown prince mohammed bin solomon's most notorious legacy so far is between 18 killing of saudi journalists. in the kingdom's consolation a stent. 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. as 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 prince wade's 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 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

well as now speak to simon mabon who's a senior lecturer in international studies at lancaster university joins us by skype simon so lots of speculation out there is what's your take on. well you know i think what we have that there was is really way through all of this speculation all of the room as all of the conjecture and figure out what we actually know here and we know that a number of troubling meant saudi prince says with close ties to the royal family as your package has just documented have been arrested now the reasons for the arrest are not clear the justifications for those arrests are not clear but we know that that these arrests have not taken place in a vacuum that there have been a range of other things going on inside the kingdom predominantly the longstanding efforts from the crown prince mohammed bin solomon to seize power and ensure that he has no pull of internal or external dissent as what we saw with the case of shoji and this latest round of purges against his rule and against the legacy that

he's trying to create himself for the next 50 years or so as he becomes king right and so crown prince mohammed bin solomon is disappearing from put into context for us if you would what is his his grip on power if you like because the kings to live for as we know. the king lives but he lives in name alone really i mean the room most that suggest he's got he's got a very high onset of dementia and he's very frail you see that when you see images videos of him so i guess from from all the more reports that we hear mohamed bin sultan is the one pulling the strings he is the one with whom power lies and that certainly makes a lot of sense in terms of the killing of jim on his show and this latest round of purges following the rick's cult events a couple of years ago we know that mohammed bin solomon is the one who orchestrated

the killing of her mother shoji and we know that yoko straight said the crackdown on that the other princes in the ritz carlton we know that he is the real power there was some. people calling him anecdotally the sun k. the son of the king but the person who is actually the sovereign power in the saudi states is his situation and kind of a you'd expect the king approaches the end of his life and it sounds like the kind of power struggles you would have seen in the old royal courts of europe. well i think that's a good way of putting it because let's not forget that the saudi state was built on on a particular vision of succession and as i think it was there i mean corey was suggesting there is a there is a panel that determines who was to come to become king after the death of the king so it's not a case of the son of the king and the king's son and the son of the son that power passes successively down the family line but rather since the formation of the saudi status passed from brother to brother to brother amongst the sons of it and

so is the founder of the saudi state but that of course while there's a large number of members of the royal family and prominent princes those initial sons of of it been so dog are all in the eighty's or ninety's those that are still alive of course and so there is going to be this this movement from a generation that was the direct descendants of it's out to the next generation and that's where we start to see this jockeying for power where we start to see princes trying to rally support for that cause us and i think this is fundamentally what we're what we're getting at when we're looking at what mohammed bin solomon is doing making sure that there is no one in any type of position of power to really challenge his rule as he becomes king and as we move to the 3rd generation of saudi rulers all right simon thanks very much i just wanted to get your expertise on this do appreciate it so i may be on that thank you. robin standing by with the weather does australia i guess yes the murray darling basin particular the ever changing

weather of australia recently there's been a lot of rain in what was of course drug ridden eastern half of australia on the murray darling basin it is dicey is now you might say is not unusual this is a massive pelicans on a bit of river the bobbin river the tough one the feeder rivers into the murray darling system now this was draw it has been dry for a long time so i think they're just taking advantage of what is supposed to be river but hasn't been now this is a close a major structure they're very darling basin it comes off more it covers sudden queens and most of new south wales a.c.t in victoria and the eastern bits of south australia it feeds the agriculture storage and been in drought affected a trice period last 36 months all record starts to see the rainfall again but even so this whole area this summer has only seen 50 cent of the average rainfall so we've got a long ways to to bring it back up to what would be considered normal for probably wouldn't be seen again to be honest the climate is changing that we have got more

rain to come this similary because we've just talked about the east a book just then but most of the rain is now focusing further north so new south wales maybe had his last gasp but for queens in particular the top end we're going to see an increasing amount of rain and eventually flooding right which is normal and of course welcome nic rob great thank you very much needs still ahead here in. libya's precarious economy we meet the young entrepreneurs determined to build up their businesses despite the move running the country. and in sports fans melbourne cricket ground is the defending champions australia face india the women's team 20 cup final. much on al-jazeera after their own spin on the nation witnessed. brings a new film this time from africa for international women's day as yemen's war

a refugee facility on the greek island of lights bosses cleaning up after a fire late on saturday it happened with operated one happy family center for refugees just outside the island's capital there were no immediate reports of injuries more than 1700 migrants have landed on lesbos and 4 other jian islands from turkey over the past week let's bring in john thruppence now who's on lisbon john tell us more about what happened. well as you can see behind me the school is completely destroyed you can see the melted sheet metal and the buckled steel girders of the school roof underneath that there are steel frames of long benches and long tables where the children used to sit the plywood has been burnt it's lying in piles of dust on the floor and there's an acrid smell still in the air the fire service was here earlier to see if they could find any clues as to who or what started this fire it could be an accident but obviously at

a time of high political tension on the island where right wing groups of clashed with volunteers and n.g.o.s helping the refugees there are also suspicions that it might not be an accident this is the school of peace an israeli and joe that operates on the grounds of one happy family joining me now to talk about that project is i'm not sure hon she's a volunteer with school of peace and that i know that it's been very tense on the island since the government attempted to build closed refugee centers which would be detention centers to replace morea where people are free to come and go and since then people have risen up against almost any refugee activity on the island can you tell me whether you have had any form of threat to the school before now. the fall and i would be of any follow thoughts to the school and we have a lot of power in the. local community and in the past 2 weeks it's completely

different than before we get out of breath and attacked our self and other n.g.o.s but it's a big difference than we feel when you say it's been very different to the past in the last 2 weeks how do you mean different i mean before we felt safe around here we felt safe to walk in the state we love this place we have a lot of very good friends and in a lot of people that work with us every day in the past 2 days no one is going out of the house people are scared industry everyone is the species of everyone the thwack sound there are some loads we came out the diving them anymore you know what happens if you go into the wrong places or if you talk to the wrong people we would get we would then and our car would get beaten oh they would try to go inside the car have you had any. view of the refugees that you teach

tell you that they have been intimidated. and if you have told us many of the ones that lives in with you leaving that they're worried about going out of the house and into the streets and they don't know how people really react in that they prefer to stay home in these days well obviously this is a very recent political development it is difficult to know how long this atmosphere will continue it doesn't help that there is a hostile attitude from neighboring turkey which has intentionally opened its borders in order to promote refugees on the greek church 3 the greek government has seen that as a threat to national security that has done much to color the political mood on the island as well. are generally there for now thanks very much the joints are up with their own lives boss in greece or migrants and refugees trying to cross from turkey

capital tripoli technology which figures our driving groups for drivers and calculates the distance and fare is something new in libya we did our soft launch for the application in march 1 month before the attack on tripoli. after about a month when everything happened. we saw a significant drop in our numbers we were a bit worried about that but luckily that didn't continue this company provides work space for students and business owners who can't find it in their own areas with frequent power and internet cuts in many parts of the city especially in the areas affected by the fighting it also provides a safe place for customers we find that with markets and that there are many people like it. there is a good demand for it. and you know for any business if you have

a with the monk then then you are ok. the conflict in libya has foresaid many young people to seek new carriers abroad but despite the challenges in the country some are still enthusiastic about creating their own businesses and bringing new ideas to the market but many here say they're worried what will happen if the fighting in southern tripoli moves closer to the city center many businesses have been shut down since the war lord hefted launched his military campaign to seize tripoli from the internationally recognized the government in april official figures suggest the war has cost the economy more than $40000000000.00 that includes losses caused by the blockade of the oil facilities by forces loyal to have turned these entrepreneurs say their businesses should be able to with this stand the declining estate trivia news they are now hoping the fighting will in to
