this is news coming to you live from berlin which way did they vote technology issues delayed the results of the democrats' iowa caucuses they packed school gyms and community centers across the state but checks mean no one yet knows which of the leading presidential hopefuls have won the support of violent democrats we'll go live there also coming up china's deserted streets but the walk down in cities is not enough to keep the coronavirus as the number infected surges past 20000 the

government is threatening punishment for those who don't cooperate. and booting up to cancer world cancer day we meet one woman who uses exercise in the great outdoors to help defeat her breast cancer. well i'm terry martin good to have you with us it's the 1st major test in the 2020 u.s. presidential contests democrats in iowa have voted on which of the 11 candidates they want to be their nominee to face president donald trump but officials in the state have delayed the release of the results saying they're carrying out quality checks they've ruled out a hack or an intrusion as the calls of the delay the outcomes expected to be tight between several candidates and as the 1st state to. iowa has an outsized influence

on where the presidential campaign goes from here. for the latest from iowa we've got correspondent alexandra naaman with us out xander a muddled start there to the democrats' primary season is this something about embarrassment for the. well yes of course this is a huge embarrassment for the democratic party here in iowa and this is always a huge disappointment for the candidates especially those of them who hopes to win iowa and a huge disappointment for the caucus goers and for the polls and of volunteers who are involved in the caucuses here in iowa you want democratic party issued a statement stating that they found that phone inconsistency in the reporting of their results and that they are now going over the paper trail to make sure that

their results match and that they have confidence and the numbers they report but of course it's a very messy situation and now questions are being race whether those results when they are published can be trusted it's a messy situation indeed but those results will be looked at very closely iowa is thinly populated and demographically un representative of the united states as a whole why do its caucus results matter and all. because this is the 1st state where the contest starts and even though as you sat the iowa caucuses have come under fire recently for not being representative of the country that alone the democratic party didn't prevent to candidates from investing heavily in because they know that winning. give

a campaign instant credibility at that means more favorable media coverage and that means more of momentum for a campaign is there a chance of xander that we'll see some of the democratic contenders dropping out of the race after iowa. normally i would say yes but we don't have the results now and as i said the question is if those results are going to be trusted joe biden's come pain has already issued a very strong letter suggesting that they could be systematic failure and that they would question the results so there are still many months to go before the election actually takes place the presidential bird what states are up next in this primary and caucus calendar. almost all candidates

are already on their way to new hampshire where we will see the next primary taking place next week and then it's nevada and south carolina and then we will all be waiting for the super tuesday xander thank you so much good to see alexander from norman in iowa. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the u.s. senate has been hearing closing arguments in the of pietschmann trial of president donald trump democrats argue that trump abused his power by pressuring ukraine to investigate a political rival republicans counter that trump did nothing illegal or at least impeachable the republican controlled senate is expected to acquit trump on wednesday. in kenya at least 13 children have been killed and over 40 more injured in a stampede at a primary school the incident took place in the country's west as peoples were

being let out of the day it's not clear what triggered the stampede. and dozens of sick children and their parents have been airlifted out of war torn yemeni capital sana they were on board the 1st of several so-called mercy flights organized by the united nations saudi backed yemeni government has been preventing commercial flights from departing from rebel held since 2016. chinese president xi jinping has announced what he calls a people's war of prevention to deal with the coronavirus epidemic he has threatened punishment for anyone who shirk their responsibilities in bringing the outbreak under control officials now say 425 people have died while the number of confirmed infections has jumped above 20000 tight controls on movement remain in place and will haunt where the outbreak began some residents have been filming the

eerily quiet city stranded in. a city that remains in virtual lockdown on a street you can see only. people the people here. the people there. a lot of men markov is a dual dutch russian citizen who lives in who han he ventured out to document it's empty streets authorities have banned transport out of rouhani and other cities to limit the viruses spread but special evacuations of foreign nationals are underway the numbers of confirmed cases for still quite. scary and it's reason risin every day quite a lot. so i decided still to be recreated to russia the alarm has long since spread across china including to shanghai some 700

kilometers east of han here to scenes of unusually empty streets. but among those out and about. taking precautions is a must poor to make them wear masks when they go ice when they come home to have to wash their hands. i believe in our country will overcome this. many are still waiting for a sign that the worst is over the number of confirmed infections rose by several 1000 again on tuesday. well as the number of confirmed cases of corona virus rises so does misinformation about the disease for the world health organization stopping the spread of pulse foods is as critical as stopping the spread of the virus itself. can garlic or smoke from fireworks protect you from corona virus the answer in both cases is no the world health organization says there is a flood of misinformation about the disease on line it's spreading faster than the

virus itself the antidote to this is an awareness campaign and the w.h.o. is counting on cooperation with online platforms we have work with google to make sure people searching for information about good on our virus c.w. join formation at the top of their search results. still the director general has not lost his sense of humor you know what it's not good on. the w.h.o. has also said that facebook and twitter have taken steps to stem the tide of misinformation hospital workers and hong kong have rallied in favor of sealing off more of its border with china almost every border crossing there is already closed but the world health organization warns against isolation. is no reason for the measures that unnecessarily interview is international travel and

trade we call on all countries to implement this is ins that evidence based and consistent the w.h.o. is calling on all countries to better coordinate their plans to combat the coronavirus. the world health organization says the number of people suffering from cancer is likely to rise sharply in the coming years and warning is included in a report the organization has released for world cancer day most of the new cases will hit low and middle income countries but there's a bright side to more research better treatment and programs to prevent cancer could save at least $7000000.00 lives in the next decade cancer killed an estimated 9 point $6000000.00 people in $28.00 teams only heart disease causes more deaths the most frequently diagnosed forms of cancer are lung cancer and breast cancer each responsible for just under 12 percent of all cases they're followed by

colorectal cancer is at around 10 percent smoking tobacco tops the list to prevent all caught preventable causes of cancer deaths it's followed by an unhealthy diet obesity and lack of exercise the w.h.o. warns that if current trends continue the world will see a 60 percent increase in cancer over the next 2 decades. well joining me for more on this is our science correspondent derrick williams good morning terry so scientists are making great strides in preventing and treating cancer yet the world health organization tells us that the number of cancer cases is expected to rise by 60 percent in the next 2 decades why support us so why this comes down to a couple of fairly simple factors one of which is that of course the poppy the world's population is just continuing to to boom there are there going to be many many more people and on the other hand it comes down to actually a positive development as well which is that the number of communicable diseases

that are being passed on that word that in the past used to be lethal are now being are now being healed so people aren't by dying as much from communicable diseases they're growing of course older so the planet's population is growing older and cancer of course although chilled. and young people do get cancers cancer is primarily of course something that affects the aging you know it's these these mutations that happen in your body over the course of your lifetime so as the population ages it's clear that there are going we're going to be dealing with a bigger cancer problem so a big demographic shift playing a role there that cancer is often portrayed as a great level or that anyone can get it yet it seems that there's a lot of inequality in exactly who gets it and who survives talk us through that well this is one of the things that was pretty eye opening for me actually reading this report you know they said it says in the developed world events that have led to had this 20 percent reduction in premature mortality in the developed world over

the if that was in the 1st 15 years of this of this century that number is just 5 percent in the developing world and there are many reasons for that as well one of which of course is that a lot of our industry the carcinogens that we use in our industry has been have been exported to those developing countries those people are simply exposed to more personal gins in the environment that's one big thing and the big thing of course is then is realizing diagnostics diagnosis of cancer at an early stage if you diagnosed cancer earlier which happens much more often in the developed world then you have a better chance of treating it before it metastasizes than for course there's the treatments themselves which are quite are more advanced in the developed world and it's there are simply more effective and last but not least of course there's the question of information which is which is prevention the information about prevention is simply not as disseminated in the developing world as it is in the developed world will help us on the when it comes to prevention what is the the

latest in terms of what we can do to avoid getting cancer well they mentioned this was this is also kind of a shocker or maybe not a shocker we all know that smoking is bad for you right but but they they they said that smoking is actually directly respond. simple for one in 4 cancer deaths so it's really the usual suspects in many ways smoking is a big killer the other one is actually obesity obesity they've discovered more and more in the last couple of decades if you're overweight it actually has an impact on the chance of whether or not you're going to develop cancer at some point in your future. on the other side of course with obesity exercise to help prevent cancer exercise that shown actually has a very very positive effect in helping to prevent it they're not sure exactly why on things that people don't maybe know a little bit less about. hepatitis b. getting back the next native against hepatitis b. helps prevent liver cancer for example or getting for young women getting back to

the needed against human papilloma virus h.p.v. that will prevent them from getting cervical cancer so prevention is actually the best way to prevent cancer you want to prevent it before it actually develops rather than have to treat it prevention is worth a noun an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure get your shots lead a healthy lifestyle sounds like good advice to menteri williams for a science test thank you so much. well as derek mentioned exercise is also good for you but that applies even if you already have cancer research has shown that sports can help some doctors even include controlled exercise in their cancer treatment programs we met a cancer survivor who says regular support and fresh air help her overcome the disease. he was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 several malignant tumors were found in her breast but the 58 year old didn't panic i don't have to fight this disease. i will now 5.

test results are promising suggesting she has indeed beaten cancer have best weapon to survive the extreme retraining therapy with exercise and the great outdoors to be outdoors because the inspiration odors. life life is not indoors life is outdoors and. you are in immune system is stimulated by being outdoors. while still undergoing treatment formed an organization called outdoor against cancer in order to share her knowledge with other patients teacher now runs training groups in 5 countries she encourages cancer sufferers to exercise in the open air weather here in the austrian alps or in a city park after work there. are. all these women developed cancer

a few years ago peter thomas started working with them while they were undergoing treatment. they started to do sports and they never stopped doing sports they are healthy for. that so really for me it's an amazing thing why 432 was 31 who recruited gives me incredible strength i drag myself in every time after work because i know others they have to and i follow their example when it feels like i can't go on i think if they can do it so can i. still stare of pain that's benefited them all sports alone does not kill cancer cells but it could help in the fight against the disease. now to the conflict in syria turkey has attacked targets in the north of the country in response to shelling by syrian government forces that killed at least 8 turkish soldiers and civilian contractors

turkey's president russia typewriter one said his forces quote neutralized dozens of syrian government troops the flare up in war torn provinces heightening tensions between turkey and russia 2 of several participants in the long running conflict. ankara is keen to show it means business. more military vehicles continue to head towards its lead today after the killing of turkish soldiers in the province the turkish president said his country had been forced to retaliate against syrian troops and he warned moscow not to stand in his way. because of those as a result of these airstrikes people 5 of whom are soldiers and 3 civilians were martyred of course we said this cannot go on and the necessary response was given. at the moment we are doing what is necessary from the ground and from the air.

while the turkish defense ministry says that damascus had shelled their troops despite being aware of them movements moscow claims to turkish units had failed to notify them monday's tit for tat shelling comes as the syrian government and its russian ally up their deadly bomb and of the last rebel held territory in northwestern syria all too often it's displaced civilians who are caught up in the fighting today 9 people were killed in a reported russian asteroid on their vehicle near the city of aleppo turkey which already has 3600000 refugees from syria fears and new wave of migrants as a result of the new offensive. follow. up to the latest figures unfortunately approximately 1000000 people are marching to our borders. people
