11:00 pm
[ cheers and applause ] >> that's all. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church from cnn world quarters in atlanta. this is cnn newsroom. ahead this hour. a night for the history books. south korean film "parasite" breaks barriers at the oscars. we will hear from the director who took home a handful of honors. people in china are cautiously returning to work as the death toll from coronavirus tops 900. the virus is also sending a chill through the country's economy. voters in new hampshire are set to vote tuesday in the first primary election in the u.s. and
11:01 pm
party unity is a problem for the democrats as candidates lash out at each other. ♪ ♪ good to have you with us. so we begin with the oscars. very unusual for us. and the movie that dominated the night, "parasite." now, the south korean dark comedy won best picture, becoming the first-ever non-english language film to take home the top prize. the film and its director were also honored for best director, best international feature film, and best screen play. the wins are sure to create a lot of excitement in the picture's home country of south korea. so let's get more on all of this. we turn to cnn's paula hancocks who joins us from pyeongchang in south korea. paula, good to see you. so, what an extraordinary win
11:02 pm
for bon jeung ho. how is it being received in south korea? >> reporter: extremely well, as you might imagine, rosemary. they are going crazy. koreans are delighted. the man, the director they have known for a long time that has been famous in this country and well respected in this country for many years is now being appreciated internationally. so it was an extremely big night for "parasite." it is a scathing look at class war. it is an unapologetic black comedy where a poor family manages to assimilate itself into the household and the lives of a rich family with devastating effect. i won't tell you more about the film than that in case you haven't seen it. but let's hear from the director himself. we did have our stephanie lam catch up with him on the red carpet.
11:03 pm
>> your hurdle has been hot and the glass ceiling has been broken. you said you were feeling good. how are you feeling now? >> translator: i think we destroyed the barrier too much. we should have taken our time actually. >> reporter: wait, wait, why should you have taken your time? >> translator: i mean, you just need some time to adjust. but i think it's great in life to have things happen so fast and that's what's happening tonight. >> reporter: so when you won, i think it was after screen play, you stopped and you looked at your oscar off to your side, like you didn't believe what had happened. you looked like you left us for a minute. >> translator: it felt like the oscar trophy was staring at me,
11:04 pm
so we locked eyes for a second. >> reporter: and that was before the drinking. >> yeah, i was sober. totally sober. >> and he said after that he intends to drink all night now. certainly he has a lot to celebrate. we had great reactions from many skrae south koreans, many korean americans have given their congratulations. we saw a tweet from the south korean president moon jae-in who said i'm proud of bon joon ho and how it is giving pride and courage to the korean people as a whole. >> could this mean for his future and the movies he has already made because he's very well known as you point out. could there be a resurgence in his previous work? >> reporter: well, i think there will be many people googling to see what exactly his other films are because they are very well known in this country, but not
11:05 pm
necessarily on the international scene. now, we did speak to one of his friends who is also a director, and he was saying that this not only means a lot for korean cinema, the fact that they have won because it means that those in the western world, those english-speaking film buffs will now be looking beyond just the english language films, but it also shows that subtitles are not an impediment any more as he believed they had been in the past. the likes of netflix, the likes of youtube means people are now used to reading subtitles. so the world has really opened up, not just for korean cinema, he believes, but for many non-english language films around the world. so this will really open it up. >> it is a very good point. paula hancocks joining us there getting a little read on how south korea is feeling in the aftermath of this historic win. just incredible. many thanks. and we will have more from stephanie elam on the red carpet a little later in the program.
11:06 pm
coverage is among the top stories now. you can see the highlights at any time you like. head over to cnn.com, take a look. now, this could be the news. passengers under lockdown on a quarantine ship have dreaded. cnn has confirmed at least 66 new cases now of the wuhan coronavirus have been found on that cruise ship in japan, and that, of course, brings the total number of infections to 134 on the diamond princess. some people have been taken to hospitals already, but thousands remain on board that ship under lockdown. meanwhile, it is the end of the lunar new year break, and millions of people across china are returning to work right now. even as the number of deaths from the virus climbs at an alarming rate. the disease was first discovered in the city that bears its name, just as the holiday began. and since then it has killed at
11:07 pm
least 910 people globally with another 40,000 still infected. of course, the vast majority of those cases are in mainland, china. the world health organization says a team of experts has been sent there to investigate the outbreak. and our matt rivers is in yokohama, japan, where the ship we just mentioned is docked. and steven joins us live from the capital beijing. good to see you both. matt, i do want to start with you because as we mention you are there in yokohama. you were just near that cruise ship. it's docked, under quarantine, now we are getting news of 66 new cases of coronavirus being reported. this is what worried a lot of the people on board because their main concern is now they'll have to go back to square one and start those 14 days of quarantine all over again. that was certainly their understanding. has there been any confirmation
11:08 pm
or clarification on that? >> reporter: yes. let's give our viewers the latest, rosemary. we got here to the ship about half an hour ago and it was within the last 15 minutes we heard the captain of the ship start to give an announcement over the loudspeakers on board the ship. and with two different passengers on board, we've confirmed and we listened to a recording of the announcement ourselves where the captain gets on the loudspeakers and says, there have been 66 new cases reported of the coronavirus on board the ship. that is nearly a 100% increase since yesterday. yesterday we were at 70 cases. now 66 additional cases brings us up to 136 total. and it's not over yet. this quarantine started on monday, so -- excuse me, it started on monday. we're in the 8th day of it now. however, it's not going to end until february 19th. these cases, according to what we've heard from the captain, are -- were expected, as he put
11:09 pm
it -- that's the word he used -- they were slightly expected in the sense that these cases could very well have been contracted prior to the quarantine being in place. so what the captain said is that the quarantine is working and that there doesn't seem to be plans to change that. that these people that have shown these new symptoms and have tested positive for the virus could very well have contracted it before the quarantine took place. the quarantine is a two-week period, because the incubation period for this virus is up to two weeks. so that's what the captain is saying is very common measured in his announcement. we are expecting a press conference within the next hour or so from the japanese ministry of health or they are expected to confirm this information themselves and will also likely give the same information the captain just gave because he said his information came from the ministry of health. so that's where we're at, rosemary. to your point about the quarantine period starting over, that was the understanding of some of the passengers from everything that we've heard, from government officials, that
11:10 pm
is incorrect. the quarantine period will end on february 19th. now, officials say they could always choose to extend that based on what happens because this is a fluid situation, but we are expecting that quarantine period to stop on february 19th. despite the fact this relatively dramatic news here, nearly 100% increase in the amount of confirmed coronavirus cases on board the diamond princess behind me since yesterday. >> all right. so, matt, that means the people on board -- i mean, they're still looking at another nine days, at least, on board. they've been confined to their cabin. some of them are lucky enough to have balconies at least have access to fresh air. a lot of people were complaining there, a lot of passengers, saying they weren't getting a lot of water. from were real restrictions in terms of food and water. do we have an update on the situation there? >> reporter: yeah, it seems -- we're in touch with probably half a dozen or so people at
11:11 pm
least on the ship. they say they're doing okay, all things considered. they're getting enough to eat, they're getting water. medical supplies, medical prescriptions had actually been requested from passengers on board. some 2000 requests have gone out to japanese authorities from everything from aspirin to blood pressure medication. you can imagine those are the kinds of things that run out during the quarantine period. and just behind us over the last hour, we've seen supplies being loaded on board the ship. there's japanese self-defense forces here bringing supplies on the ship. while it does appear japanese authorities are going to completely enforce this quarantine through february 19th, they recognize in order to do that safely and effectively and as comfortably as possible for the passengers on board, they're going to need to bring in certain supplies, get laundry done, get lenins changed out, get prescription medications on board. they know that's what needs to happen and it does appear they are meeting those demands. >> so nine more days for those passengers and crew who are
11:12 pm
basically quarantined in lockdown there on that cruise liner. we thank matt rivers bringing us up to date from yokohama in japan. let's turn live to steve. he's in beijing. we brought our viewers up to date on the death of the doctor in wuhan who basically sound the the alarm about the coronavirus. he's since dead as we say, but what more are you learning about the disappearance of a citizen journalist who had been reporting from wuhan, warning everyone about the spread of the coronavirus just like the doctor had? >> reporter: that's right, rosemary. the case of the citizen journalist reminded a lot of people of the doctor because obviously the doctor who passed away last friday contracted the very virus he was trying to warn others about. now, the citizen journalist also 34 years old, had been roaming around in wuhan two weeks before
11:13 pm
he disappeared last thursday. now we have confirmation from his friends and family that he has, indeed, been taken away by local police and placed under forced quarantine. ostensibly for his own health. but these friends telling us they are actually worried about his safety because they feel the authorities definitely view him as a troublemaker because what he had been doing in wuhan, he was carrying his camera to the hospitals and just to the streets of wuhan and really recording the misery there, the very grim scene there often in stark contrast to what was presented in state media. he in his films and his videos, we have seen desperation and helplessness from people on the ground. whether they were trying to seek medical attention or just feeling nobody was really helping them when their loved ones got sick or even died, that, of course, despite his -- the citizen journalist's social media account, totally blocked here in china, he managed to
11:14 pm
upload these videos on youtube and attracting millions of views as well as huge attention. now, rosemary, all of this is happening against this background of the government here ramping up its own propaganda and trying to control the narrative of this outbreak. they have been shutting down independent reporting on the ground and censoring more posts on this topic. and then, of course, according to the government's critics, they are not only trying to control the flow of people to contain the virus, but control the flow of information, rosemary. >> yes, some heroic work done by that citizen journalist, and also by that doctor. steven, many thanks to you for bringing us up to date on the situation from beijing. appreciate it. we'll take a short break here. still to come, democratic hopefuls bernie sanders and pete buttiegieg are taking swipes at each other with the new hampshire primary less than a day away. we will look at the heated race there. that's next. you ever wish you weren't a motaur?
11:15 pm
sure. sometimes i wish i had legs like you. yeah, like a regular person. no. still half bike/half man, just the opposite. oh, so the legs on the bottom and motorcycle on the top? yeah. yeah, i could see that. for those who were born to ride, there's progressive.
11:16 pm
11:17 pm
than rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz xr, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis or active psoriatic arthritis for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. it can reduce pain, swelling, and significantly improve physical function. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections like tb; don't start xeljanz if you have an infection. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra can increase risk of death. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. as have tears in the stomach or intestines, serious allergic reactions, and changes in lab results. tell your doctor if you've been somewhere fungal infections are common,
11:18 pm
or if you've had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. don't let another morning go by without asking your doctor about xeljanz xr. well, voters in new hampshire will go to the polls on tuesday for the first primary of this election year in the united states. in a new cnn poll, bernie sanders is leading the pack in
11:19 pm
new hampshire with pete buttiegieg in second place. joe biden and elizabeth warren are in third and fourth place respectively. cnn's jeff zeleny has more now on those numbers. >> reporter: remaining before the new hampshire primary voting begins, bernie sanders leading this race over pete buttiegieg by about 7 percentage points in our latest poll. notable, elizabeth warren falling behind. she was one of the leading competitors here to bernie sanders throughout the last year in this new hampshire primary. joe biden also trailing even below that. that is a central question in new hampshire. has he been able to change the dynamic to vault him back into the conversation? he placed fourth in iowa. that certainly was a stinging defeat. he now is going aggressively hard after pete buttiegieg urging new hampshire voters to consider his experience or, in the view of the biden campaign, his lack of experience to be president. now, the new hampshire primary campaign can often deliver surprises, so the sanders team
11:20 pm
is not taking anything for granted. there is no question that bernie sanders is certainly enjoying the moment where he believes he's rattling the democratic establishment. of course, we'll see what happens when the voting comes on tuesday. and then this race goes on to nevada and south carolina. it's just beginning. but the question, will all these candidates remain in? certainly that is unlikely. that's why the voting on tuesday so, so important. jeff zeleny, cnn, hanover, new hampshire. >> meanwhile, the results of last week's contest are still coming into focus. the iowa democratic party says u.s. democratic presidential candidate pete buttiegieg has won the most delegates in the iowa caucuses. the updated numbers show the former south bend, indiana, mayor with a very slim lead over senator bernie sanders, but the sanders campaign says it will ask for a partial recanvas of the results on monday.
11:21 pm
well, sanders and buttigieg also clashed on separate appearances on cnn, taking mild swings at each other and treating the upcoming new hampshire primary as a two-person race. >> i am running against a candidate, pete buttiegieg among others, who has raised contributions for more than 40 billionaires, including the c.e.o.s of some of the largest drug companies in america. so we are independent of our revolution. all these other groups, they are legally able to do what they want. so my message to all of the candidates, let's end all of that stuff. >> bernie is pretty rich. i would happily accept a contribution from him. look, this is about making sure we bring everybody into the fight at a moment when we're going to be going up against donald trump who, with his allies, are raising -- i think the other day they raised 25 million bucs in one day. this is a fight of our lives. >> and joining me now from
11:22 pm
munich, james davis, director of the institute of political science at the university of saint callem. thank you so much for being with us. >> good morning. >> ahead of tuesday's new hampshire primary, cnn's latest poll shows bernie sanders leading the pack, but late sunday we learned pete buttiegieg won the iowa caucuses just ahead of sanders. so they're in this tight race. we saw they are sort of fighting each other trying to make it like it's a two-man race here. what could this mean for tuesday, do you think? >> i think the question on tuesday is going to be who has the best ground game. we clearly have two front runners here. two of them, buttigieg and sanders, have been running ahead in new hampshire quite a while in most of the polls. and most of them show sanders ahead, but buttigieg has been surging. he had a bit of a boost coming out of iowa. he's been solid in his performances in the debates. and so i think he's going to be trying to mobilize his people on
11:23 pm
the ground. the army of young people that are behind sanders who are going to be doing the same thing, and we'll see who gets their people to the ballot box. >> yeah, that's the name of the game, isn't it? former vice-president joe biden had previously been seen as the one presidential candidate who could beat donald trump, right? but that doesn't appear to be the case any more. what's happened to biden? what is going on with him and his campaign? >> well, i mean, the voters are speaking. people are not as excited about the vice-president as many people thought they might have been. he came limping out of iowa. if he comes limping out of new hampshire, basically all his eggs are going to be in the two baskets that are coming up at the end of the month and that's nevada and south carolina. and if he doesn't win those, i think he's going to have to pull out. i don't see a way for him forward if he doesn't win at least one or two of these remaining campaigns this month.
11:24 pm
so i think he's wounded. i think thor in ange energy is behind these new faces. people want a new face. bernie's message isn't new, but they find him genuine. that's what you find when you talk to people over and over at his rallies. he's a genuine proponent for change and for a certain part of the party that seems to resonate. >> but the democrats might find that energy new and exciting. which democratic candidate, though, has any hope of beating donald trump, would appeal to the masses across the united states? and, of course, they're going up a president emboldened by his impeachment acquittal in the midst of the iowa debacle. he had a good week last week. >> he had a good week. he has momentum of his own. they are mobilized, people are
11:25 pm
fired up about his campaign on the right. but you're right, the question that democrats are asking themselves is who can, who is best positioned to beat donald trump in november. and i think what we see with the rise in sanders is nervousness on the part of many of the traditional big names in the democratic party, the traditional party bases. they don't quite know what to make of this revolutionary style of this populist message and are nervous. i think that's why you will see people looking for the best alternative. i think that's one of the reasons people are moving away from vice-president biden because they think he just doesn't have it. they're taking a hard look at mayor pete. we see some of them going to amy klobuchar. she seemed to have a little bit of momentum coming out of the last debate. but then there is the wild card out there of mayor bloomberg. after sanders performed so well
11:26 pm
in iowa, you did see renewed interest on the part of many in the candidacy of the former mayor of new york, and that's such a wild card because he's playing this very unconventionally. he's avoiding these early states, these early primaries and focusing on the big basket of votes that is out there on super tuesday in early march. >> he came in so late, though, didn't he? when you look at his numbers, they're not looking impressive at this juncture. is it just too early to tell? have you seen instances in the past where someone's turned it around at this point? >> that's the interesting thing about bloomberg. it's a very unorthodox candidacy. he's had major advertisements during superbowl and the like that are running nationally. it's just hard to know what to
11:27 pm
make of this because we don't have experience with this type of candidate. it's a big question mark out there. but i think the question mark is really about who is best positioned to take on this president. and i think once the democratic party has decided who that is, they're going to do their damned best to get that person voted for. >> absolutely. james davis, thank you so much. always appreciate your perspective and analysis. >> thank you, rosemary. >> well, vote counting in ireland is producing some unexpected results. sinn fein has won the most seats so far in the country's general election. 29 seats so far, almost twice that of the second place with the ruling in third. it is still underway. an exit poll suggested an unprecedented three-way tie for the main parties. it may take weeks for a coalition to be form. the current prime minister says he's unwilling to govern with sinn fein, the party once associated with the irish

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. you're watching cnn newsroom. i'm rosemary church. let's check the headlines for you this hour. the best in film were honored at the academy awards sunday night. joaquin phoenix won the oscar for best actor for his
11:32 pm
performance in "joker." renee zellweger won for her role in "judy." best supporting actor for "once upon a time." and laura dern won. four wins including best picture and director for parasite. voters in new hampshire will go to the polls tuesday for the first primary in 2020 election cycle in a new cnn poll democratic hopeful senator bernie sanders leads in the state with 28% support. former south bend, indiana, mayor is in second followed by former vice-president joe biden and elizabeth warren. the number of people who have died from the wuhan coronavirus have jumped past 900 worldwide with more than 40,000 infected. most of those cases in mainland china.
11:33 pm
meanwhile, the number of cases on a cruise ship quarantined in japan has nearly doubled, now with 136 people infected on board. the japanese government is treating patients in dozens of hospitals. cnn's will ripley spoke with one passenger from the diamond princess who has the virus and is now recovering in a quarantine ward. >> reporter: i'm standing outside one of the hospitals here in japan that is treating coronavirus patients, and i have to say when we arrived, i was surprised there's no signs, no additional security that lets you know they are inside this hospital which sits in a quiet residential area in tokyo. when we spoke with one of the patients, an american named rebecca frazier from the u.s. state of oregon, she was tested positive and she was taken off diamond princess cruises and i spoke with her, waived to her from the hospital room and i
11:34 pm
have to say she's doing very well. she's not showing any symptoms at all. they're not even giving her fluids or any sort of medication to treat coronavirus because it's simply not an issue. and she was telling us about some of her friends on the ship who have also tested positive and they are in a similar condition. and so i think this is one of the under reported angles of this story. this is absolutely a global health emergency that needs to be taken very seriously. people need to be washing their hands on a regular basis, mindful of protecting their health. some of the stories coming out, particularly out of china and wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, they are just heart breaking. but what we often don't hear about are the vast majority of other patients who have this virus who maybe have some symptoms or many of them are not showing any symptoms at all and they are going to recover. they are going to be okay. and hopefully hearing from rebecca will help dial back some of the hysteria, some of the fear that people are feeling right now. you can see that interview on cnn's new day on monday morning in the u.s. will ripley, cnn, tokyo.
11:35 pm
>> and it's worth noting the economic impact of the virus is also being felt in the world's second largest economy. economists fear it may even be worse than sars. china's auto industry could be the first to take a hit as most of its assembly plants have closed. and economists say the lack of parts coming out of china could hurt global supply chains as well. the luxury goods industry is also seeing a drop in demand because people are spending less and not traveling. meanwhile, the gulf industry is hurting as well. the lpga is cancelling tournaments in thailand and singapore due to concerns over the outbreak across asia. we're going to get some perspective on this. simon baptist, chief economist at the economist intelligence unit, joins me now from singapore. good to talk with you. >> hi there. >> so, of course, the impact of the coronavirus already having an impact on some industries,
11:36 pm
particularly the auto industry. what other consequence are you seeing and how bad do you think this could get? >> the economic impact, of course, does depend on the trajectory of infections and how quickly the virus has come -- is going to be brought under control. we have downgraded our expectation for china's growth this year, down by 0.5% to 5.4%. that's on the assumption that the outbreak is brought under control by the end of march. so if it takes longer than that, down further, earlier than that, it won't be as bad as we currently expect. but that's going to have a big ricochet effect all around the rest of the world. our global growth forecast is going to be cut from something like 2.3% down to probably 2.1%. and some of the economies that are going to be hardest hit in the immediate term is those that are really reliant on flows of chinese tourists and chinese students. so places like thailand and
11:37 pm
vietnam, terms beyond that there is going to be some supply chain disruption. that's both a reduction in demand for intermediate components of electronics from places like malaysia or the philippines. it's also going to mean a disruption from companies who are reliant on exports from china who see this accelerating somewhat to supply chains out of china into the rest of asia, particularly southeast asia, already happening because of the u.s./china trade war. this will probably just cause firms to accelerate their plans. >> so, how long term would you expect this impact to be, do you think? i know it's difficult to sort of look ahead. but just using the impact of sars as a guide here perhaps, just give us an idea on what sort of impact you're looking at there. >> yeah, we've done some modelling to have a look at what
11:38 pm
we think will happen to 60 or so largest economies over the next couple of years. earlier models show a lot of places almost everywhere is going to have a reduction in growth in 2020 as a result. but a big chunk of that should be recovered in 2021 as there is a bounce back. >> that's still a bit of a wait, though, isn't it? >> -- to trend, there is a wait. there will be activity that will never be recovered. for example, places like thailand and vietnam reliant on the tourism impact, people who are not taking trips in the first quarter or first half of 2020, they may never -- they may never take those trips. there will be some expenditures that are simply never replaced or students decide not to go abroad to study at university. so not everything will come back. >> could you see the possibility of some businesses sitting back and going, okay, certainly if they were involved in the sars incident, could they possibly look and go, okay, we need to find somewhere else that will
11:39 pm
supply some of our goods, that will assemble some of our cars. all of those sorts of things, do you see it as a long-term impact like that? >> i think not from coronavirus itself. most businesses that i speak to in the asia-pacific region are expecting, expecting this to be a short-term issue. so perhaps playing out over the next six months, and then things largely going back to normal. so businesses are not going to make decisions based on a temporary chain of events. however, what it will do is those firms that were already looking to diversify their supply chains because of the u.s./china trade war as well as rising wages in china, this is just another little push for some companies sitting on the fence, this might tip them over into being a little more active. >> it's going to have a huge impact on so many businesses, even the clothes line. when people go to order clothes, all of those suppliers, those items are going to start drying
11:40 pm
up, aren't they? because they're not coming in from china. so there's going to be incredible ramifications. >> it will differ sector by sector. garments and textiles is a diversified supply chain. it has a lot of capacity. in vietnam, in bangladesh, in sri lanka. the trade war did already cause quite a lot of garments, manufacturing, to move already over the last 12 months. the supply chain, so orders can move around pretty quickly. the sector that i think is going to struggle the most is going to be electronics because electronics supply chains are very rigid. they are reliant on having a lot of specialist staff and specialist suppliers and there's real economiesing from being co-located in a cluster from similar firm. it's not easy to move electronics manufacturing around. china supplying to other markets and also the components that other countries are selling into china. that's where we'll see most
11:41 pm
disruption. >> of course, with all the infrastructure already established, that would be very difficult, wouldn't it? simon baptist, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> we'll take a short break here. still to come, democratic presidential hopeful joe biden is going after his rivals as he trails in third place in a new cnn poll ahead of the new hampshire primary. we'll have the details for you just ahead. you've tried so many moisturizers... but one blows them all out of the water. hydro boost with hyaluronic acid to plump skin cells so it bounces back... neutrogena® and for body... hydro boost body gel cream.
11:42 pm
11:43 pm
11:44 pm

>> reporter: former vice-president joe biden spending sunday talking to voters here in new hampshire ahead of tuesday's primary. this after we've seen him take a much more sharpened attack toward his two closest competitors, bernie sanders and pete buttiegieg. in fact, on saturday we saw his campaign release a video that directly compared the experience of joe biden as vice-president to that of pete buttiegieg as mayor of south bend. really knocking the mayor's experience and saying that he doesn't have the experience to be president on day one, which is an argument that joe biden has made for months now. now, today there is a little bit of a softer tone on the trail, but he did say this. take a listen. >> not a single person has won without overwhelming support from the black community, overwhelming, overwhelming, okay. >> reporter: joe biden there alluding he is the candidate that gets overwhelming support from black voters, and that is what polling data has shown as we get closer to south carolina.
