japan has quarantined a cruise ship carrying almost 4000 people over fears of a corona virus outbreak on board the diamond princess is now anchored in yokohama of a former passenger tested positive for the corona virus after disembarking in hong kong days earlier a medical team has now boarded the ship and is checking passengers for so far 8 people on board have shown symptoms such as fever passengers say they have been told to wait in their cabins for virus tests. 4 point where you go to reporter judy and ryle who is in yokohama julian more than 3000 people are under quarantine on that ship why have authorities taken a step in the japanese authorities a desperate to keep this virus out you can see yokohama behind me that's about 3 or

4 kilometers distant where i am i mean a residential district overlooking the ports but the japanese authorities i just want to keep this out they have had 20 confirmed in japan's fall i'm but they're very concerned that if 3700 people go to the bug it's actually all of the might be carrying this disease and then they could have a bigger problem will need hands is it clear how long these people are going to have to stay under quarantine. lavan what's in their cabins at least 24 hours and we know from messages that are coming off of the bug that some of them get a little antsy they are asking why and more isn't being done more quickly but it looks like we're going to have to go through the entire book from stem to stern very very carefully and check every individual on there and that might take a couple of days and of course often than we have to wait for the results of these tests to come through to be confirmed and of course the boat then has to be cleaned himself from stem to stern it's going to be alone i'm kind staking process or can

you tell us about the people on that ship and how they're coping with the situation we know that food is being taken along so they're being faithful and they've been on the boat some of them for 4 or 5 days previously it's just been yokohama they were knocking out it was there the problem was 1st identified with already thought the best thing to do would be for them to come to yokohama was to follow large portions far better facilities for dealing with a crisis like so they've not been allowed to get off the boat in the now here in. oklahoma and it's like a funeral days and they are doing everything they can japanese authorities on i've thrown everything out but it's just amazing at this we need to identify who might be carrying us and i understand that several people on board heaven dave taken ill are they are when do we know if the symptoms they are showing are consistent with a coronavirus they would appear to be so yes that's ok about high fevers and that

we have at least 8 people on board out of a ship of 3700 people that's not a huge number but of course the concern is that it's going to spread very quickly within the bounds at which point we could have a major problem it's julian thank you so much bring us up to date that was totalist julian ryle there in yokohama thing. well 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 in january the news comes as thousands of health care workers across kong walked off the job there demanding that the government close the border with china after embattled hong kong leader kerry 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 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 teach some others open and a lot of people are unhappy about that many demand a complete closure of the border as long as these crises last 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 team 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 these 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 of course very careful they try to avoid meeting each other they try to avoid contact with each other so they can not 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 author or a cheese. 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 these the spread of the disease under control. and that was correspondent mathias bellinger in beijing now to some of the other stories making news around the world kenya's former autocratic president has died aged 95 more ruled kenya for 24 years until 2002 becoming the country's longest standing leader he ran the country as a one party state in which corruption and human rights abuses became widespread. migrants clashed with police during protests on the greek island of les paul so officers used tear gas to disperse some 2000 migrants who were rallying against conditions in camps on the island rights groups and the un have expressed concerns over conditions and long application processing times. and the u.s.

caucuses his words he had been difficult nights i. warn you case is going to be close we're going to walk out here with our shared delegate. we don't know exactly what it is yet but we feel good about where we are and look so so it's on a new hampshire was south carolina well beyond the brightness of the movie hot. flashes is the delay has caused embarrassment for the democrats biden's campaign wrote a letter demanding a full explanation for the problems. but some of the candidates used today to declare their successes regardless of when those results are an old saw i have a good feeling we're going to be doing very very well here was a night an improbable became an undeniable reality

was and if the candidates weren't getting ahead of themselves the supporters were his to cluster call so i'm just going to tell you what i do know you was of the law it will be early voting is headed to more than 1600 locations across the state to take part in the caucus democratic officials responsible for communicating the results plain to folks with the reporting mobile app all the candidates are united in their dislike of president donald trump but his campaign has laptop what it called a meltdown because he would run the caucus and they want to run the government no thank you trump's campaign manager tweeted. it's unclear when the results will be announced for now iowa is on committees. well joining me now from iowa is to be

a correspondent alexandra lemon xandra big global 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 our 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 today 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 relearning

that cyber experts warned of problems with the ad 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 the results so shaken confidence in embarrassment is thinly populated thinly populated state and demographically representative as we know why do its caucus results even matter. because dad still states 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 or they're 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 is nevada 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 examiner thank you so much t.w. alexandra phenomena in iowa. in other news 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 the saudi backed yemeni government has been preventing commercial flights from departing from rebel held since 2016. in bolivia political parties have

heart disease causes more deaths the most frequently diagnosed forms of cancer or lung cancer in 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 of preventable causes of cancer deaths it's followed by an unhealthy diet obesity and lack of exercise. well for the more for more on this w.h.o. cancer report i'm joined by our science correspondent derrick williams morning morning so we're making great strides in preventing and treating cancer but the w.h.o. is warning that the number of cancer cases is still expected to rise by 60 percent over the next 2 decades why this is mostly

a question of demographics it's as you know as we all know the world's population is rising and rising and rising so there are simply more people out there so in real terms the number of you would expect the number of cancer cases to also rise along with it however on the other hand there's another aspect actually a positive aspect that's causing this this rise in cancer cases is that communicable the disease is people dying of communicable diseases is actually following the number of people that die from communicable diseases and so that means that in effect people are getting older now cancer is of course a disease of the primarily of the aging young people and and children can also get it but mostly older people get cancer so people are surviving communicable diseases which means that they're more likely to get cancer in later life everyone wants to avoid getting cancer all because what's the latest advice on prevention well the latest advice is actually sort of more or less the usual suspects most getting

responsible for one in 4 cancer deaths worldwide smoking is terrible for you it makes you makes me really glad that i quit a couple of decades ago the other big killer is also not a surprise it's been on everyone's radar for a while which is obesity obesity for a variety of different reasons can cause you to be more likely to contract certain types of cancer in particular and of course exercise when it comes to prevention exercise is also. for a number of different reasons is a good preventive measure and. not only is it good preventive measures not only is it a good measure for helping us to avoid cancer people who have cancer also it helps them and doctors in fact in controlled situations are actually even prescribing exercise we went to meet a cancer survivor who says that regular support has helped her remain cancer free.

peter tyler 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. test results are promising suggesting she has indeed beaten cancer her best weapon to survive the extremely training therapy was exercise and the great outdoors to be outdoors because the inspiration all doors is . life is not indoors life is outdoors and your. immune system is stimulated by being outdoors. while still undergoing treatment picher formed an organization called outdoor against cancer in order to share her knowledge with other patients teacher now runs training groups in 5 year countries she encourages cancer sufferers to exercise in the open air whether here in the

austrian alps or in a city park after work at a. bar. full 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. strong that's so early for me it's an amazing thing why 432. and 31 how we treat it gives me incredible strength i drag myself to every time off to work because i know others are here too and i follow their example when it feels like i can't go on i think if they can do it so can i. get. back to. school spirit being that's going to tip them old school it's alone does not kill cancer cells but it could help in the fight against the disease. so sports therapy or just regular exercise seems to be

helpful in fighting cancer but do we know why derek well there's no we don't really know exactly why but of course there are some things that seem to be clear doing exercise improves your immune system and it makes it a little bit stronger changes your hormone levels that can have an impact for example and things like some things like breast cancer and of course it changes your attitude is not to be underestimated so i mean you know the old saying that if exercise were a pill we'd all be taking it. cancer is often portrayed as the great leveller anyone can get it but it appears that there is a lot of inequality when it comes to who actually survived talk us through that. there is a big difference between the developing world and the developed world when it comes to contract in cancer and the treatment of cancer in the developing world in particular for example nowadays we know that the people in the developing world are

exposed to much higher levels of carcinogens in very many cases and carcinogens which are these substances that cause cancer toxins basically toxins basically that's one aspect of it another aspect is early diagnosis the earlier you're diagnosed with with. answer the more likely you are to be treatable because at the point where the cancer metastasizes when it moves when the tumor breaks off and begins to decide to settle other parts of your body that's when cancer becomes really and truly very dangerous the 3rd part is actually the 2 are the obviously the treatments themselves which people in the developing world don't have the same access to as we do in the developed world and so all of those all of those factors together mean that someone who's in the developing world is more likely to die of cancer than someone in the developed world very thank you so much derek williams from the w science now the flemish artist young front i was one of the great innovators of renaissance art in the early 15th

century so realistic so realistic were his 3 dimensional illusions that some thought he was a sorcerer fun i can optical revolution is the title of the most comprehensive exhibition of his work ever except it's just opened at the museum of fine arts in the belgian city of ghent. the statue seemed to leap out of the frame the figures are given a 3 dimensional quality by the painted reflection in the background they have a physical presence but they're actually just 2 dimensional paintings in the middle ages eon fun ike was the 1st artist to paint optical illusions on wooden panels. it was the one who showed us how we need to look and he still has a decisive influence on how we see really as a more to this day. sun i did that by perfecting his own oil painting technique 600 years ago he was rendering detail down to the millimeter he made

garments so real you can almost feel their textures he created masterpieces so realistic that they almost seem photographic that's me helped i think he was grabs short sighted because short sighted people above one and concentrate on detail. but find i can also never lose this view of the complete picture that the. fine ike depict of the people of his time and biblical figures in equal measure this is a unique opportunity to get up close to numerous fan hikes there usually scattered around the world in various museums these alter panels adorn the cathedral and get his 1st large work is protected behind bulletproof glass yeah and fun i master of realism i'm a revolutionary who changed the course of art history. the epic annual female and sled dog race drew to a close on monday with
