this is news coming to you live from 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. i mean no one yet knows which of the leading presidential hopefuls have won the support of the iowa democrats. also

coming up china's deserted streets but lockdown of cities is still not enough to beat the coronavirus as the number infected surges past 20000 the government is threatening punishment for those who don't cooperate. on world cancer day we find out how weak spot made from human hair proving great therapy for pakistani women to flaunt their own truth. so i'm terry martin good to have you with us technical glitches have delayed the release of results in the 1st major test in america's presidential race democrats in iowa voted on which of the 11 candidates should be party the party's nominee challenge president donald trump but. party officials in the state have not

released results citing problems with a new smartphone for reporting local results they ruled out the hack or an intrusion officials are holding calls with the candidate says they scramble to sort out the problems but that hasn't stopped some of the candidates already claiming victory based on their own doubts. well joining me now from iowa is correspondent alexandra fund naaman xandra mold start to the democrats' primary season results have been delayed due to irregularities yet candidates bernie sanders and pete bush again are claiming to be ahead is are we're turning out to be an embarrassment for the democrats. well the history you totally right this is a huge embarrassment for the democratic party in iowa and there is a lot of confusion and nearly all candidates claim to dad that they expected

a strong finish in the state whenever their results are going to be published and the iowa democratic party released a statement saying that they fall into inconsistency in their reporting of the results and that that is a reason for them to go over the paper trail to make sure that the results match and that they have confidence in the number they report but now we are learning that cyber experts warned of problems with the app that would use to report results so people here are asking themselves how that could happen and wherever this is going to shake the confidence in their results so shaken confidence in embarrassment i o. is thinly populated thinly populated state and demographically on representative as we know why do its caucus results even matter. because

that's the state where the contest starts and therefore it is so important even though as you said the iowa caucuses have come under fire recently for not being representative of the country let alone of the democratic party but that didn't stop the candidate from investing heavily in iowa because they know that. can give their campaign more momentum are there going to be some losers to the search chance that we'll see some democratic contenders dropping out of the race after iowa. well that can always happen but we would need the results they would need the results to decide whether they would like to continue and as i said there are questions being raised whether those results are to be trusted at all joe biden's campaign for example has already issued

a very strong letter complaining about the flaws in the procedure here in iowa complaining about what they indicate could be a systematic failure and also indicated that they may question their results so this election year is getting started although with a big pickup what states are up next in the primary and caucus calendar. the candidates are already on their way to new hampshire where the 1st primary in this contest is going to take place next week and next and south carolina which is very important because a significant number of registered democrats there are african americans and then we have over a dozen contests on super tuesday xander thank you so much t.w.

alexandra phenomena in iowa. through now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the u.s. senate has been hearing closing arguments in the impeachment trial of president donald trump the democrats argue that trump abused his power by pressuring ukraine to investigate a political rival joe biden republicans counter their trump did nothing illegal or 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 during a stampede of a primary school the incident took place in the country's west as peoples are being let out for the day it's not clear what triggered a stampede. and dozens of sick children and their parents have been airlifted out of the 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. hong kong has become the 2nd place outside mainland china to report a death from the coronavirus authorities say the man who had an underlying illness traveled to han in january the news comes as thousands of health care workers across home holland walked off the job they're demanding the government close the border with china after embattled hong kong leader kerry lamb left 3 remaining checkpoints open. or more now let's cross over to correspondent mathias berlinger who's standing by for us in beijing mathias this coronavirus fatality in hong kong must be making people even more nervous there how are authorities in hong kong dealing with it. you know authorities have been hesitant to react there are

a few issues in hong kong one is the closure of the border posts. the government has hesitated to do so it has now announced to close several border posts but to the some others open and a lot of people are unhappy about that many demand a complete closure of the border as long as this crisis is lost other issues are that they are struggling to find places where they can set up isolation stations or. to bring in the. the sick. current teen stations and many people living in the neighborhood when the plans show up when the plans become clear that the government is planning to do something trying to block this so it is a big issue for the hong kong government to deal with these countries so we've got

a death in hong kong another in the philippines 20000 people infected now what's the reaction from mainland china. people here are of course very careful they try to avoid meeting each other they try to avoid contact with each other so they cannot get infected the government is issuing a lot of measures some of them more useful some of them less useful for example everybody who is coming back to beijing from somewhere else no matter whether it is inside china or outside of china has to register with the or thora tease. the government is of course struggling to get this disease under control this epidemic under control and there is quite a lot of anger with people blaming the government for having reacted too late and not getting the spread of the disease under control so people are angry

understandably but are they generally satisfied the people in china with how their leaders are dealing with this crisis. the maybe these drastic measures like locking down a whole province. locking people up in their apartments when they show signs of influenza or when they just have returned from one of the places that have been hit hardly probably met with less resistance than one could expect in other countries people expect their government to react bowed lee but it doesn't change the fact that many people see this as a failure of the government and that they do blame their government for not being able to contain this crises it is thank you correspondent here spelling in beijing

. thing as the number of confirmed cases of corona virus rises so does misinformation about the disease or the world health organization stopping the spread of false hoods 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 online 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 virus c.w. join formation at the top of their search results. but. 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 in 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 his international travel and. we call on all countries to implement this isn't that evidence based and consistent the w.h.o. is calling on all countries to better coordinate their plans to combat the coronavirus. now to syria where the turkish military have hit 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 present one said his forces quote neutralize 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 techies 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. 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 their movements moscow claims to turkey she knits had failed to notify them monday's tit for tat shelling comes as the syrian government and its russian ally up their dead end 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 air strike on their vehicle near the city of aleppo. turkey which already has 3600000 refugees from syria fears a new wave of migrants as a result of the new offensive. i saw you know a quarter to the nation's figures unfortunately approximately 1000000 people are marching to our borders. people including children and elderly are coming to our borders with whatever they can retrieve. with pressure at the border growing

tensions between ankara and moscow over the rebel enclave seem set to escalate further. 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 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 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 our so on 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 there are 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 children 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 leveller 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 and over the it 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 person injuns 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 diagnose 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 they're 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 responsible 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 they've 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 that that's needed against hepatitis b. helps prevent liver cancer for example or getting for young women getting back to need it 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 know an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure get your shots lead a healthy lifestyle sounds like good advice to me terry williams for a science test thank you so much well hair loss as a result of cancer can be devastating to a woman's self-esteem and is often cited as the single worst side effect of the disease a unique pakistani organization hair to help encourages women to donate hair for wigs that are then given to cancer patients but it took a tough walk to allow it to happen she made the cut reports from lahore. since being diagnosed with breast cancer none of that shot has pierced many challenges after several rounds of chemotherapy the 52 year old wasn't prepared for the side effects of her treatment and. fell out i cried

a lot it was very long and beautiful i asked my mom if it would come back. my hair has now regrown but it's not like it was before. this is a devastating loss but we believe everything is a test from god. over the last 25 years but the start has witnessed a significant rise in the number of people diagnosed with cancer according to the world health organization 174000 pieces were recorded in 2008 to. 20 percent of those for vim and with breast cancer but years of foreign investment in the health care system is highlighting the country's inability to tackle growing health crisis and it aftercare and afterthought it is often left to

charities to help patients feel like them says again. here to help is one such organization members of the public do need their hear which is then turned into bricks and given to those in hospital wards 3 of charge. initial resistance from some people to the initiative forced the charity to get an islamic scholar to issue a fatwa in favor of people donating hair who get beat but people still believe that this is a sin especially if the head they donate is misused but i assure them we have nothing to do with black magic what i encouraged by telling them that their hair will grow back on that for women who are going through this trauma these weeks can be a huge boost to their self-esteem back into their good looking right there. human here again because star i am looks more natural which is why it is preferred over

synthetic. but they're more expensive for me so the charity offers donors free here kurt as an incentive to come forward. when they're difficult to cancer patients go through a difficult time finding this disease and then they suffer from hair loss and hair is important to the overall appearance of a woman in pakistan as citizens it's our duty to encourage those in need. and for donors like someone they know this small gesture can make a big difference to him and recovering from. another news migrants have clashed with police during protests on the greek island of last boss officers through tear gas canisters to disperse some 2000 migrants suydam seekers were rallying against conditions in camps on the island rights groups in the un have repeatedly expressed concern over conditions and slow process in their. an air canada plane has made an emergency landing in madrid after experiencing technical
