this is news live from her land almost 4000 people on board a cruise liner are being tested for the coronavirus the u.s. operated diamond princess is anchored off the japanese port of yokohama several people on board are ill and one man who left the ship in hong kong has tested positive for the virus will get the latest from yokohama also coming up on kong reporting a death from corona virus the 2nd thing tallaght outside of mainland china and thousands of health care workers walked off the job demanding that the government

close the border with china and which way did they vote on technology issues delaying the results of the democrats' iowa caucuses so no one yet knows which of the leading presidential hopefuls have won the support of the state's democrat. and it took the fox what's will allow it but on world cancer day we find out how we just made from human hair are providing great therapy for pakistani women who have lost their own hair through cancer. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program as the number of coronavirus cases continues to mount a countries are taking drastic action to prevent its spread japan has quarantine a cruise ship carrying almost 4000 people over fee. there's

a big corona virus outbreak on board now the diamond princess is now anchored in yokohama bay a former passenger tested positive for the corona virus after disembarking in hong kong days earlier a medical team has boarded the ship and is checking passengers 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. let's get more now we are joined by reporter michael penn who is joining us from tokyo so michael tell us the authorities have taken this step to quarantine all of these passengers 4000 of them why did they do this well i think that they assessed that there may be a specially high risk. of the krona virus coming in through these passengers and the reason they would think so is that because on cruise ships you have lots of people packed in close proximity to one another and so if you know

that one person had coronavirus and spent several days on the ship they feel that there's a higher private probability or a higher likelihood that this could have been spread to other members of the crew or other passengers on the ship and so they're taking a special measure we've heard that the incubation period is around 2 weeks do we know how long these people will have to stay on board the ship. probably not too long. although there's been no official announcement of that it sounds like they're not going to test every single member they're more they're more going to try to track down which particular people may have caught come in contact with the person and then also investigate the people who are reporting some kind of symptoms and once they've gone through this process it sounds like they're going to let people off the ship and go home but they're certainly still there tonight and you know

we'll see how long it takes the authorities to decide to discharge people and to bring the ship into the port and allow people to disembark what more can you tell us about the people who are on board and how they're coping. well of course they're people who are about a 3rd of them are our crew members of the ship so they're working there and various capacities and then of course you have the the normal you know vacation go or it's not clear on nationality so for example the gentleman who who was who was the crown of ice carrier was an 80 year old man from from china and he was there with his daughters so it may be that a large proportion of the of the of the passengers are chinese but also you would expect many of them to be from japan as well as for the conditions well so far as we know their people are being told to stay in their rooms while the investigation

is going on so there's no sort of collective area where they're all gathering to exchange notes presumably they're there in their rooms and perhaps calling friends but you know each each group is off separately in a sense journalist michael pan with the latest on the situation on the street ship in yokohama thank you so much thank you. well china says that 425 people have now died of the corona virus and the number of confirmed infections has surged above 20000 president xi jinping has announced what he calls a people's war of prevention to deal with the epidemic alarm has also spread to hong kong where the 2nd death outside of the chinese mainland has been confirmed. oh. the best medicine is closing the border with china that's the demand from thousands of striking hong kong health care workers want from the government. a lot

of things i hope the government listens to and demands quickly closes over borders and brings this epidemic under control i felt. it comes as hong kong became the 2nd place outside of the chinese mainland to report a death from the corona virus a 39 year old man who was suffering an underlying illness travel to han in january hong kong's chief executive criticised the protesters and defended her decision to leave some parts of the border open. i certainly would not agree with the allegation that we. are not addressing this public health concern adequately the alarm has long since spread across china including to shanghai featuring unusually empty streets but among those out and about. taking precautions is a must do i make them wear mouth when they go eyes when they come home to have to

wash their hands. i believe in our country will overcome this. the number of confirmed infections rose by several 1000 again leaving many wondering when the worst will be over. let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world kenya's former autocratic president daniel arap more has died at the age of 95 more of world 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. dozens of sick children and their parents have been airlifted out of the war torn yemeni capital sanaa they were onboard the 1st of several so-called mercy flights organized by the united nations saudi back to yemen a government has been preventing commercial flights from departing from rebel held sanaa since 2016. and the u.s.

senate has heard closing arguments in the impeachment trial of president donald trump democrats argue that trump abused his power by pressuring ukraine to investigate a political rival republican said that trump did nothing illegal campaign the republican controlled senate is expected to acquit trump on wednesday. technical glitches have delayed the release of the results from the iowa caucuses that kick off america's presidential election democratic voters attended local meetings across the state to start the process of determining which candidate will challenge president donald trump in november the party officials say there have been problems with a new smartphone app for reporting local results. was the rallies had long been organized but the victory speech is now on ice democratic presidential candidate joe biden was one of the favorites to win in the iowa caucuses his words hinted it had been

a difficult night the war in the case is going to be close we're going to walk out here with our share of delegates we don't know exactly what it is yet but we feel good about where we are and look so so our song new hampshire. the red south carolina well beyond the rest of our of. the issues is the delay has caused embarrassment for the democrats biden's campaign wrote a letter demanding a full explanation for the problems. i put so they can. it's used to delay to declare their successes regardless of when those results are in our lives 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 it is too close to call so i'm just going to tell you what i do know you was was the vote 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 my bought up all the candidates say united in their dislike of president donald trump but his campaign has laptop what it called a meltdown a concierge in run a 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 committees. and let's bring in now diego reeve us who is the chair of the democrats abroad in

berlin he joins us now so i mean these democratic primaries they haven't gotten off to a good start in iowa how much do you think this could impact whomever does emerge as the front runner yes oh i feel like obviously we don't know the outcome yet but it's actually been a very successful caucus in the sense that we implemented new rules last year to make it more transparent and actually more democratic one example being actually on one of the have more written. a paper trail and that's what we're actually counting right now verifying everything and making sure that everything is actually dramatic when we look at iowa itself i mean we have to look at the situation in this state because it's thinly populated it's democrat graphically on representative why does this caucus results even matter so it's a really important question i think you know the primary season is just beginning for example democrats abroad also times 13 delegates and that's just under one 3rd

of the delegates i will actually to the democratic national convention and july so this is a really important result of course a sense of momentum and the pace for the rest of the campaign season and during the primaries but the same time there's many more. primaries and caucuses to be had tell us a little bit more about you know the survival rates after iowa because and we have all of these candidates here they spent a lot of time in iowa some of them as many as 2 months in fact campaigning in what you've highlighted in such a small state representative lee what are the chances that we could see some of them drop out after this yes i think all of them have to take a hard look but we're very proud this year to have a very diverse and large field of democratic candidates we think all of them will do a great job and if you can trump we'll see where. happens we're still waiting for the results that would be verified by the written statements on the photos i would taken of all the. results from all the $600.00 caucuses and once we have this results i think many of the candidates will make a hard choice but they will make

a choice that would benefit the party at the end of the day diego rivera of democrats abroad in berlin thank you so much thanks. the world health organization says that the number of people suffering from cancer is likely to rise sharply in the coming years the warning is included in a report that the organization has released for world cancer day and the good news is that more research better treatments and programs to prevent cancer could help save the lives of many over the next decade cancer kills an estimated 9600000 people in 2018 only heart disease causes more deaths now 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 of preventable causes of cancer deaths it's followed by an unhealthy diet obesity and lack of exercise

and joining us now from geneva is the world health organization's dr andre eld bolli welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us there have been great strides in preventing and treating cancer as we've heard but the w.h.o. reported warns of a spike in the number of cases saying that we can expect a 60 percent rise in the next 2 decades one is that forecasts oh hi. thanks sarah the cancer burden we know will grow in high income countries and this report shows that it is also going to increase significantly in low and middle income countries as governments are no more effectively treating traditional challenges infectious diseases maternal deaths we know that people will be exposed to the chronic risk factors that will increase the likelihood that they will develop cancer perhaps in their forty's fifty's and sixty's so what this report shows is that in fact governments in low and middle income countries will see an 80

percent increase or greater this is an urgent call for a global response to the cancer burden to set priorities and to invest wisely to prevent and to control cancer cases everywhere let's talk about one of those priorities which is you know survival after diagnosis because it appears as if there's a lot of inequality in who survives especially between developed and developing nations what do we need to do to narrow that disparity. yeah that's absolutely right sara now we know that progress has been made in high income countries there's been incredible innovation in the research and investments in cancer control in high income countries but we know both within high income countries the poor communities and developing countries have not had access to those innovations and now to set the global agenda we have to make decisions as to what are the most impactful and effective treatment and prevention options in that regard for example we see that within the w.h.o.

we've called for the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem this could be a major achievement and it's achievable in the next $5.00 to $8.00 decades so before $2100.00 that means cancers like cervical cancer can be wiped out entirely now to do that we have to focus on pillars of action prevention early detection and treatment we will need action in all those domains for example h.p.v. vaccination detecting cancer early or screening to prevent cancer from starting cervical cancer screening and then building capacity in treatment because there will be many women there will be many individuals who will develop cancer even in the best situations of prevention in fact in the next decade alone we know that 200000000 people will be diagnosed with cancer and will require treatment so we must focus on building capacity that is how do we establish a stronger set of workforce how to rebuild cancer centers and doing that will ensure that that divide you're mentioning can be narrowed and that pillar of

prevention that you have mentioned the report also focuses on the importance of exercise to fight cancer why is it's effective. that is in fact one of the increasing risk factors that we have to consider as we look at the next $1.00 to $2.00 decades obesity and a lack of physical activity will in fact increase the cancer burden for high income countries but also for low and middle income countries in the past 15 years effectively every country in the world has seen an increase in obesity and obesity is a major risk factor for cancer so physical activity and healthy diet is an important pillar for prevention as you're saying but in fact it's also an important pillar for people who are actively receiving cancer treatment and also for cancer survivors we know that cancer survivors who are able to be physically active maintain a healthy body weight are in fact at lower risk for their cancer coming back and at lower risk for developing a 2nd type of cancer dr andrea bowie from the world health organization in geneva

thank you it's thanks to sarah. well hair loss as a result of cancer can be devastating and is often cited as the single worst side effect of treating the disease a unique pakistani organization hair to help encourages women to donate hair for wakes that are then given to cancer patients but it took a fatwah to allow it to happen the reports from the whore. since being diagnosed with breast cancer none of that shot has pierced many challenges after several rounds of chemotherapy the 50 year old wasn't prepared for the side effects of her treat coming. here 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 you have everything is a test from god. over the last 25 years but the star has witnessed a significant rise in the number of people diagnosed with cancer according to the world health organization 174000 cases 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 often here and afterthought it is often left to charities to help patients feel like them says again. hey 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 c. of charge. initial resistance from some people to the initiative force the charity to get an islamic scholar to issue a fatwa in favor of people donating here will there be the people who 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 encourage don't use 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. they're in let's get it right there. here and here again because the word star i am looks more natural which is why it is preferred over synthetic. but they're more expensive to me so the charity offers donors free here kurt as an incentive to come forward. but they difficult in cancer patients go through

a difficult time fighting 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 them as a need. and for donors like someone they know this small gesture can make a big difference to women recovering from cancer. now to some other news and in bolivia political parties have begun registering their candidates for upcoming presidential elections exiled former leader evo morales will not be standing his party has appointed former economy minister luis r.k. as its candidate the vote is due in may. migrants clashed with police during protests on the greek island of last 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 in australia some 80 koalas have been injured and dozens killed after
