hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and from all around the world. i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm george howell. this is cnn newsroom. and ahead this hour. >> stocks sink in china as the markets open for the first time in more than a week amid coronavirus fears. as the first death outside china is reported. >> the u.s. presidential election season kicks off monday with the iowa caucuses. democrats running for president will set the tone for the race, the primaries. >> and after 50 years, they're
11:01 pm
superbowl champions again. we will go to miami for a live report on the big win for the kansas city chiefs. ♪ ♪ >> all around the world, good day to you. we start with the wuhan coronavirus spreading across china and stoking fears in that country's stock market. trading got back underway in mainland china monday after the lunar new year break. markets have just closed after plummeting as much as 9% there, you see. >> as stocks fall, the number of infections keeps rising. china now confirms more than 17,000 cases and 361 people have been killed. that means this outbreak has killed more people in mainland china that's sars back in 2003.
11:02 pm
the first known death outside of china has been confirmed in the philippines. for more journalists, keri is live in tokyo. let's go first to cnn's steven jung in beijing. steven, with more than 17,000 people now infected, what's china doing to contain and fight this virus? >> reporter: well, rosemary, their focus right now is still containment in the epicenter, that's wuhan. when you look at numbers, rosemary, the majority of confirmed cases still happen in hoe bay. on sunday, for example, hobei reported 2000 confirmed new cases and 66 new deaths. there was one worrisome trend in the province. that is now more than half of the cases happens outside of wuhan. why is this alarming? that means more cases now happening in smaller poorer places with even less of a health care infrastructure to deal with -- to cope with this
11:03 pm
kind of outbreak. that's why you are seeing authorities further tightening their quarantine measures in this province which, of course, already locked down almost 60 million people. in one city, for example, next to wuhan, the authorities there now requiring every household only sending out one representative every other day to buy groceries. everyone else has to stay in. now, of course, they are also addressing the problem, the shortage of medical supplies and the personnel and other resources throughout the province. already we see more than 8,000 medical workers from the rest of china being sent in to reinforce overworked local doctors and nurses. the authorities, of course, are also building two brand-new facilities on the outskirts of wuhan. one of which just got completed and they are now open, as we understand, with the chinese medical taking over the thousand beds ready to receive patients on the outskirts of wuhan. rosemary? >> all right, steven jung,
11:04 pm
thanks for bringing us up to date on the situation there across china. appreciate it. >> live in tokyo, people are certainly nervous and staying off the streets. that is having an impact on the economy throughout asia. >> reporter: absolutely. this is as expected. a knee jerk reaction in the capital markets today with billions, hundreds and billions of dollars wiped out from the equity markets in china. shanghai, shenzhen opening down very, very sharply and still languishing around those levels. we are seeing reaction one week of closures in these markets and they're playing catch up to that. but it's not just the equity markets that are responding like this. we've seen a sell-off across the board. take a look at commodities. iron ore, copper, crude oil all down very sharply in asian trading. and on top of that you're seeing a reaction in yields as well. i think the big litmus test is going to be how wall street opens because what's down
11:05 pm
already on friday, they've had all this time to digest it and see whether or not these new cases of the coronavirus are going to wreak havoc on that market again when it opens later on today. the central bank of china, in times like this, central banks are worried that rates are going to spike. they flood the money markets with cash. that's exactly what they did today to try and stem this flow. this injection, what they call of liquidity is the biggest we've seen by the people's bank of china since 2004. that's the market reaction. i think the longer term focus will be on the supply chain, and this is very worrisome. i covered the earthquake in 2011 here in japan. i covered the thai floods that wreaked havoc on the chip industry. it took months for the supply chains to come back. this is a very different environment we're now in in 2020. industries are much more specialized, which means that there might be a chip factory. there are lots of chip factories in wuhan that makes a particular
11:06 pm
chip, the company, an electronics device maker's needs. if you can't get your hands on that, even if the capital markets start to resume, this kind much resumption in business could take a long time. not to mention if the cities are on lockdown, even if the factories come on board, how are you going to move them outside into the places that need them? so i think the longer term implications are going to be fairly significant. but having said that, let's take a look at numbers because you want to know exactly what kind of impact we're talking about. take a look at the chinese economy. chinese economy now is eight times larger than it was during the sars outbreak. so that gives you a little bit of sense of scale. take a look at the exports that are coming out of china. exports are six times larger than they were in 2003. that means the impact compared to the sars situation 2003 could be more significant. and then, of course, you have the impact on sentiment. are consumers really going to be spending after an outbreak like this? guys. >> to your point there, china
11:07 pm
just a much bigger player at this point. so certainly these numbers, the concerns among people there will have an impact. thank you for the reporting. >> and later this hour we will have a live report from ivan watson in macau where the coronavirus has turned the gambling mecca town into a ghost town. all right. well, the first major contest of the 2020 u.s. presidential race is just hours away. >> we are talking about the state of iowa. caucus goers there will make their pick for president and take a look here. the numbers, you can see the number of candidates that they'll have to choose from. a lot of candidates on the democratic side. >> yeah, many of those white house hopefuls held rallies across the state this weekend making their case to supporters as well as undecided voters. >> the future of this country is dependent upon what happens in november, and it all begins
11:08 pm
tomorrow night here in iowa. >> that's the key. get in this fight because this moment will not come our way again. this is the moment that we will be measured as a nation and as a people. this is the moment. >> we choose unity over division, and we choose truth over lies. [ cheers and applause ] there is not a single thing we can't do when we do it together. we've never, ever, ever, ever failed to meet an objective when we set our mind to it and did it together. >> are you ready for that sunrise when we put this presidency behind us? are you ready to tell your friends? [ cheers and applause ] i believe you're going to make me the next president to the united states. and if you do, i will work all day every day to make you proud. >> so join us, caucus with us.
11:09 pm
we're going to do this and we're going to win! >> all right. from iowa, and now to washington, d.c. in just a few hours' time, closing arguments will start in the impeachment trial. the vote on two articles of impeachment will happen on wednesday. >> and it's looking more than likely the u.s. president will be acquitted after the senate voted 51-49 to block testimony from new witnesses. one key senator republican lamar alexander who voted no on witnesses explained why he thinks president trump should be acquitted. >> what i believe he did, one, was that he called the president of ukraine and asked him to become involved in investigating joe biden. the second thing was, at least in part, he delayed the military and other assistance to ukraine in order to encourage that
11:10 pm
investigation. those are the two things he did. i think he shouldn't have done it. i think it was wrong. inappropriate was the way i'd say, improper, crossing the line. and then the only question left is who decides what to do about that? >> well, who decides what to do about that? >> the people. the people is my conclusion. >> all right. joining me now from london, leslie benjamori, head of the u.s. and americas program at chatham house. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, rosemary. >> quite a week in politics in the united states. monday, of course, a big night for democrats where the iowa caucuses polls show joe biden and bernie sanders neck and neck. some democrats haven't even made up their minds yet which is extraordinary. what's your sense of who might come out on top, and why is iowa still so very important? >> well, iowa is important, first, because it's starting out -- it's always been a barometer of where things will go.
11:11 pm
obviously things could change, and i think especially this time quite dramatically. but, you know, it's really -- this is a state that voted for obama twice, then voted for trump. it is a swing state. it tells us a lot about the divisions in the nation. it's an aging state, but it has a very important younger demographic as well. and i think if you look at those polls, you know, it's very -- even the pollsters, the pollsters say it's difficult to predict. we have bernie sanders and joe biden coming at the top in many of the polls. and this in some ways represents, you know, what we are all seeing in the democratic party which is that divide between a very progressive base represented by bernie sanders and elizabeth warren, and a more moderate side which is what joe biden represents. and the fact that they're both polling strong i think tells us a lot about what we know very much about the democratic party. so this is one that everybody will be watching.
11:12 pm
but even afterwards, things will continue to develop. >> it does. but for the democrats, they're really looking for the person that can beat president trump, and which one of them, if it comes down to biden versus bernie sanders, which one could do that? >> yeah, that is the $100 million question. and i think, you know, a lot of people that are watching this assume that right now the nomination is joe biden's to lose, and that across the board he might have the better chance. but, again, this is a difficult thing to call. and as we know, this election is likely to come down to just a few states. and so it's not about looking at a popular vote. it's about looking at what will happen in wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania when it comes to november. so a lot at play, a very specific electoral set of
11:13 pm
institutions. but i think there is a big question about whetherunite, wh turn out for the candidate that eventually emerges on the democratic side. that will really make all the difference to what happens in november. >> all right. so let's turn now to the impeachment trial. of course, it's looking more likely now that president trump will be acquitted wednesday. so what all did this impeachment trial achieve? and have the democrats inadvertently strengthened president trump's hand here? >> well, i think this has been, as we know, a remarkable period in america's politics. remember the republicans have moved -- the people haven't moved. the vote looks, as you said, very much like it will go towards acquitting the president. but the fact that so many republican senators now even recognize that the president did put pressure on ukraine, that he withheld that military aid. the argument now is who decides?
11:14 pm
is this something for the senate to decide or is this something for the people to decide? so i think even having gone through the process, having heard the arguments, it's changed the historical record of what we will come to know about this period of american politics, about president trump. and it will undoubtedly influence voters when they go to the polls. now, i think there is a big question about -- remember, 66% of american voters wanted to see witnesses called. we know that they won't be called. but a lot of independent voters, right? that number remains extremely high amongst independent voters. wanted to see the witnesses called. the fact that they weren't may well have an influence on how independent voters think about this and how they vote when it comes to november. >> and extraordinarily, only two republicans dared to vote with the democrats last week to bring in new witnesses. that vote, of course, failed. but how surprised were you that
11:15 pm
republicans lisa murkowski and lamar alexander voted against hearing from new witnesses? what does that tell us about the way republicans think now and their support for mr. trump? >> well, i think, you know, we have seen this for trump's entire presidency, with a few exceptions. we've seen the republican party really coalesce right around the president, come out in support of him, even on issues that we would not have expected the republican party to support the president on. obviously trade is one of those. but on this trial i think that the writing has been on the wall for sometime, had looked from the start that the republican party would really back the president. part of that comes down to this argument of executive privilege that the republicans really push on. part of it comes down to tight politics in their own local
11:16 pm
constituencies, concerns about reelection. and then it does come back to this broader question of trying to read the american people, which remain very, very divided on that question of impeachment and wanting to leave the choice with the american people. the american people have seen the evidence. they've seen the trial, and they will decide when it comes to november what they think of president trump. >> we'll see what they do decide in the end, of course. leslie, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> still ahead, a day of routine shopping turns into a terror attack and a shooting. coming up, how london police were able to respond as quickly as they did.
11:17 pm
11:18 pm
for those who were born to ride, sini wasn't sure...clot was another around the corner? or could things go a different way? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didn't experience another, and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk
11:19 pm
if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. what's around the corner could be worth waiting for. ask your doctor about eliquis. you leave it to me. i'll get your taxes in an ok place. what? just as soon as my audit is over, this gets my undivided attention. you take a lot of trips to the islands, phil? pretty great, right? oh phil's legally dead. fell off a boat. going by denis now. celery. long story. what do we got here. oh. not going to want to see this. i don't think this is going to work. at&t has america's best network, now with our best plans, at our best prices, starting at $35 a month per line for 4 lines. new from at&t. diarrhea? pepto diarrhea to the rescue. it's 3x concentrated liquid formula coats and kills bacteria to relieve diarrhea. the leading competitor only treats symptoms it does nothing to kill the bacteria. treat diarrhea at its source with pepto diarrhea.
11:20 pm
police shot and killed a 20-year-old terror suspect after a stabbing attack in south london. >> that suspect was already under police surveillance when the violence started. he had done prison time for possessing and distributing extremist material. cnn's nic robertson has details for you. >> reporter: police are describing this incident as isolated. they say they have it contained.
11:21 pm
they have named the 20-year-old man, a former terror convict, sudesh uman who they say was shot to death on the scene. there were police following him on foot when the events unfolded. >> the suspect had been recently released from prison where he had been serving a sentence for islamist-related terrorism offenses. the officers saw that a device was strapped to his body and called in specialist explosive officers and armed officers to deal with the potential threat that posed. cordons were put in place and it was established this was a hoax device. initial first aid was provided to victims by our officers and london ambulance service continued their treatment once they were able to do so safely. >> reporter: what isn't clear yet is how this all took place on a very busy thoroughfare in
11:22 pm
the middle of london a sunday afternoon where there were lots of people walking about going to the shops. this will be a big cause for concern, not just for the police, not just for the public, but for politicians as well. british prime minister boris johnson has said he's going to address the issue of terrorism prisoners and their release from jail. this particular person, sudesh haman had been released after serving only part of his sentence. very clearly he was still a danger to the public. and this is a very big ongoing political issue right now, and something, it appears, the prime minister is going to address and what can be expected to be very strong terms on monday. nic robertson, cnn, london. >> nic with the reporting, thank you. now for context let's bring in the security management consultant and security and terrorism expert joining via skype this hour from the haig. good to have you with us. >> thank you.
11:23 pm
>> look, we've seen these attacks so many times. this one very similar, a busy area in london. people could only react when they realized what was happening. what, if anything, can be done to protect people when it comes to these soft targets? >> well, it's extremely difficult. i mean, from what we've heard so far already, the context here again is what was going on with surveillance. in other words, we hear that this person was on the radar authorities. we hear there were under cover officers near him. it's not clear who they were yet, if that was security service mi-5 or police agency. it could be several different organizations. but when we're looking at following somebody in this context, the big question here becomes what's the purpose. was it just for investigative purposes to figure out who someone was connected to? or do they also have a role to intervene and is that what they did in proper fashion here?
11:24 pm
that's one of the big questions coming out of this. related to that, we have this question of the revolving door of justice. this person was sentenced to three years. only did a year and a half and came out again, and was a threat to the public. and, again, acting in the center of a major city here. so we've got sort of two key questions i think our authorities are looking on for that. >> you know, one thing that definitely stood out as i understood the details of what happened here, the fact that he had a fake device with him, which obviously raised the level of concern of what he might be capable of doing. how critical was that in those moments? >> well, i think it's certainly a factor, george. we've seen these devices before these fake devices. we've seen it in france, the united kingdom and outside the region. it's a key factor in the sense it requires a bigger response protocol and it requires
11:25 pm
essentially law enforcement to respond differently with deadly force. when we look at how police are trained to intervene in these situations, of course, you don't want any kind of explosive to go off, so you have -- you're sort of forced to try to contain the person. on the other hand, you're forced literally to take the person out. so this brings in an added element of danger because you're rushing assets to the scene, at the same time you're trying to get everybody in the area safe in a big hurry. and there will be gunfire and there might be an explosion if the person -- if it turns out the bomb was real, of course, it's a major threat to officers and bystanders. so even a fake bomb situation causes much more disruption and consternation than one without. >> and we also know the police were following -- they were monitoring the suspect as soon as he was released. talk to us about that practice here and how important was that in this particular incident.
11:26 pm
>> well, we have yet to hear the details on this particular one. but in general you sort of put a package together, depending on what you as law enforcement or security service want. do you want to figure out what the network of this person is, where this person is going, who this person is talking to to give you leads into other organizations, or do you simply want to monitor this person and make sure that this person isn't doing anything, for instance, buying explosive bomb components or buying knives or buying -- trade fighter arms to use in an attack. so may be a combination of that. quite often these operations are a mix of people on the street literally observing, but sometimes also cameras hung in static positions, other means of virtual surveillance. >> all right. >> we have yet to hear what the situation was here. >> glenn scoon, we appreciate
11:27 pm
it. thank you. >> thank you. >> well, for the first time in 50 years, the kansas city chiefs are superbowl champs on sunday. they rallied from a double-digit deficit against the san francisco 49ers to pull off the 31-20. >> they are happy. let's talk about it with andy scholes. he was at the game. he is live in miami. andy, a lot of anticipation around this game, and guess who won? >> reporter: yeah, george. this was one of the most anticipated super bowls in a very long time. and i tell you what, the 49ers and chiefs played a great game. it definitely lived up to all of the hype. and in the end chiefs fans leaving here from miami with a big smile on their face because for the first time in 50 years they are superbowl champions. but there are plenty of nervous moments for those fans in this game because the 49ers jumped out to a 20-10 lead in the second half, and the chiefs, like they've had to do all playoffs long, had to dig out of that hole. and patrick mahomes, what more could you say about him?
11:28 pm
but he is a fantastic leader. just 24 years old, and made some incredible throws to keep the chiefs in this game. one to tharik hill. that made it 20-17. he would lead the chiefs down the field once again, getting a touchdown to damian williams to put the chiefs up for good. they go on to win 31-20. patrick mahomes, the mvp of the game. he's the first nfl history to have an mvp award and a superbowl trophy before turning 25 years old. >> andy scholes for us live. i'm sure they'll celebrate. >> finding a way to win in the end with these guys around me, we'll enjoy this for a long time. it truly is historic to be here and to win this game. >> yeah, and george, patrick said he dreamed of winning a
11:29 pm
superbowl and stand being on that stage and saying, i'm going to disney world, and he did just that. >> he deserves it. andy scholes, thank you. >> all right. >> well all right. macau is a major tourist hub known for its casinos, of course. but right now it's telling some tourists to go away. how the wuhan virus is impacting the so-called las vegas of asia. we'll have that just ahead. vise you will see great and look great.

goers inow will make their picks for u.s. president in the race. democrats vying for their party's nomination held rallies this weekend, hoping to gain more support. the winner in the contest usually enjoys a lot of momentum heading into the primaries. >> a terrorist had to plead out in lone. lone police say the 20-year-old stabbed two people in south london sunday. he had been under surveillance at the time and police shot and killed him. he was recently released from prison after being convicted of possessing and distributing extremist material. >> the streets of wuhan have been nearly abandoned as china faces the escalating coronavirus outbreak. the country has confirmed more than 17,000 cases along with 361 deaths. that's more deaths than it reported from the sars outbreak
11:34 pm
back in 2003. >> macau is known as the las vegas of asia for its casinos, but with the coronavirus threat, officials say gambling revenue is down. tourism for the lunar new year is also down. it dropped around 80%. cnn's ivan watson is in macau and has the latest on this. ivan, this is a big deal certainly. you get a sense of the fact that people are just not spending money. >> reporter: no, and it is a big deal because macau is a relatively small city in chinese context. it has a population of 600,000 people. it's just found its eightth case of the deadly coronavirus and the real struggle here is that macao relies on millions of mainland chinese coming across the internal boundary to this semi-autonomous corner of china, and they're mostly drawn by the
11:35 pm
casinos here, and the hotels. and now macao has to figure out how to function as a city and as an economy without having these mainland chinese tourists import more of the coronavirus. and that is the dilemma that this former portuguese colony is facing. this is what the coronavirus crisis looks like. an ambulance delivers a patient to the emergency room in the tiny former portuguese colony of macao. health workers fully protected against the new disease. the authorities in macao aren't taking any chances. they are informing the public that if you suspect you have symptoms of coronavirus and that you've been in touch with somebody that you fear may also be sick somewhere in mainland china, call for an ambulance, which will deliver you here to the emergency entrance of the
11:36 pm
city's main public hospital. images from inside the isolation ward. at least seven patients are being treated here. the health emergency has had a startling impact on this semi autonomous corner of china. macao with its population of 600,000 people is a major tourism hot spot normally we will culling 40 million visitors last year alone. the main draw, macao's towering casinos. this is the gambling capital of the world, with a casino industry that dwarves las vegas. but since the coronavirus outbreak, tourism to macao dropped 87% in january compared to the previous year. you've never seen it this empty before? >> yeah, never. >> translator: i never saw anything like this. >> reporter: he's a portuguese economist long based in macao. >> you go to the streets. i never saw streets empty.
11:37 pm
you go to the main square. totally empty. i never saw this in my life, and i am here from 1981, so too long. never. i think people are scared, maybe scared because of the speed of these infections. >> reporter: the macao authorities say they have been rounding up every visitor from the chinese province of hubei, the origin of the coronavirus. they people get a choice. either leave the territory or go into quarantine. but they're drawing a line when it comes to the critical engine of the city's economy. >> could one of your health measures be to close the casinos? >> reporter: we do be rule out this possibility, the city's economic secretary tells me. at this point the casinos in macao are totally safe. for now the glittering gambling
11:38 pm
houses are still open. but like the rest of china, the city is struggling with the new virus, and everyone here agrees this is just the beginning of the crisis. george and rosemary, it's pretty startling measure that the macao authorities undertook, which was to send police to dozens of hotels here, rounding up everybody they could find from hubei province. the chief of police last friday said there was still more than 100 people from hubei still at large, still somewhere in the city. and they wanted those people to turn themselves in. again, either for deportation or quarantine. the head of a casino workers union here has called multiple times publicly for all the casinos and hotels to be shutdown. she is arguing that this is a health threat to the workers at those casinos. and it's worth noting that across the internal boundary,
11:39 pm
the very nrb zhuhai in mainland, china, they have recently diagnosed two more cases of coronavirus and those two people worked in and around the casinos here in macau. macau doesn't just rely on mainland chinese tourists. it relies on labor that comes across the border every day as well, and that potentially could also transmit more of the virus back and forth. one more avenue that the authorities have to keep their eyes out for. george and rosemary? >> ivan, to see these major casinos essentially empty, you know, as people are concerned about this virus, it certainly does give a sense of what's happening there. ivan, thank you. >> yeah. the outbreak has spread to more than 20 countries and territories, infecting more than 170 people beyond mainland china. a number of countries are halting travel to and from
11:40 pm
china, one of the latest is russia. which is suspending all rail services with its on neighbor. joining me now is catherine, an assistant professor in the school of public policy at the university of maryland. thank you so much for being with us. >> i'm glad to be here. >> now, i do want to point out your background is political science, not public health. so with that, let's start with the likely impact of the various travel bans that have been put in place. and, of course, with china confirming more than 17,000 cases of the coronavirus and 361 deaths so far, a travel ban seems to make perfect sense. but you and the world health organization disagree. why? >> that's right. so, yes, it does seem like a common sense public health measure. but on the one hand, public health folks will say it has actual -- actually limited
11:41 pm
evidence these measures stop disease spread or limit disease spread. on top of that, these measures can also cause a range of harms that can undermine outbreak and response to the current outbreak and to future outbreaks. >> how do you convince countries that travel bans are not the best way to deal with the situation when most politicians, they want to show their citizens that they are making every effort to stop potentially infected individuals from a arriving in their country? it's counter intuitive to think, just let people keep coming in. >> sure. >> how do you explain that to people? >> so it is a real communication challenge. it turns out normally viruses move too quickly to have an effect on the overall number of cases. in addition to that, they can actually really encourage countries to conceal or downplay the extent of yet breaks. this is a real concern for
11:42 pm
global cooperation during these events and for actually all of our security from this outbreak and future outbreaks. we need countries who want to be open and transparent. >> it's going to be a very difficult sell to individuals to say, hey, let's not do the travel bands because it's not fair to that country of oregon and various trade and other issues. >> that's a very good point. a few things would have to change. first, all of the messaging around these measures. needs to be very carefully calibrated. it karnt just be we're not doing these bands in order to protect the target country. it actually these bans upped mining all of our security for these events, specifically because they encourage a lack of transparency. also in this specific case, others have reported that these travel bans could disrupt supply chains which actually could be
11:43 pm
really problematic. so how do you change behavior? first, this messaging needs to change in the way that i just described. second, you could actually kind of publicly name and shame countries that do not comply with their commitments with the international health regulations. who could do that? the world health organization first, and then other states. >> it's a tough sell no doubt. we're out of time. catherine, thank you so much for explaining this to us. we shall watch and see what these various countries that have put travel bans in place, what they do next. many thanks. >> thank you. >> still ahead, a small town in israel is protesting president trump's middle east peace plan they say could rob them of their citizenship.
