and several sick children and their parents are airlifted out of yemen's war torn capital the flights are offering hope to the country's desperate citizens and a chance at a diplomatic breakthrough to and again civil war. and putting up to beat cancer on world cancer day we meet one woman who uses exercise in the great outdoors to help her to feed her great press council. i'm sorry kelly walked into the program a 2nd death from corona virus outside of the chinese mainland has been confirmed in hong kong the 1st death within the philippines china says that 425 people have now died of the disease and the number is confer of confirmed infections has surged above 20000 president xi jinping has declared what he calls
3:02 pm
a people's war of prevention on the virus but alarmist spreading in hong kong which was badly affected by the sars virus 18 years ago. ah. 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. in my hope the government listens to our demands quickly closes over borders and brings this epidemic under control. 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 harm 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
3:03 pm
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 i know. taking precautions is a must but you might make them wear masks when they go 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. and as the number of coronavirus cases continues to mount to countries are taking drastic action to prevent the spread of the disease japan has quarantined a cruise ship carrying almost 4000 people over fears of an outbreak onboard the diamonds princess is now anchored in the oklahoma bay
3:04 pm
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 conducting extensive health checks on all passengers and crew so far 8 people on board have shown symptoms such as fever passengers say that they have been told to wait in their cabins to be tested. and journalist julian ryle is at yokohama bay and following developments he told us a little earlier why the japanese government felt it was necessary to put diamond princess in quarantine. you can see oklahoma 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 are saying i just want to keep this out they have had 20 cases confirmed in japan's fall but they're very concerned that if 3700 people got off the boat it's actually all of those might be carrying this disease and then they could have a bigger problem will move hands but it looks like we're going to have to go
3:05 pm
through the entire book from stem to stern very very carefully and check every individual may not want to tell you a couple has done and of course often done we have to wait for the results of these tests to come through to be confirmed and of course the boat and cross to be cleaned whoso from stem to stern is going to be alone i'm kind staking process and that was julian ryle there reporting from yokohama in japan like many people around the world he may be concerned about the spread of the corona virus to spite its relatively low mortality rate but you shouldn't panic if you start to feel ill because you could be suffering from the common cold or flu as some symptoms are similar the flu can cause body aches and fever and more than 38 degrees celsius and that is just like the corona virus so it seems too easy to confuse them most common viruses affect the upper respiratory tract causing a runny nose sore throat and sneezing but coronavirus affects the lower respiratory
3:06 pm
tract causing a severe cough breathing difficulties and pneumonia but not a runny nose or a sore throat. remember you can only get the corona virus if you come into contact with somebody who is infected and the best way to prevent the spread of any disease is to regularly wash your hands so if in doubt over your symptoms appear dr. now technical glitches have delayed the release of results from the iowa caucuses that kicked 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 but 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

3:08 pm
was and if the candidates were. getting ahead of themselves their supporters what it is too close to call so i'm just going to tell you what i do know you was was early a 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 mobile app all the candidates are united in their dislike of president donald trump but his campaign has lapped up what it called a meltdown mekons even run the caucus and they want to run the government no thank you trump's campaign manager tweets it. it's unclear when the results will be announced from now. he's on committees. get

86 children and their families have arrived in the jordanian capital amman after being flown out of war torn yemen it was the 1st of what the united nations hopes will be a series of so-called mercy flights the 5 years civil war has left yemen's main airport cut off to civilians but an agreement between the warring parties need some critically ill patients can now fly out of the country to get the treatment they need. ordinary children about to embark on an extraordinary journey. these are some of human sickest youngsters today that being flown out of the war ravaged country for medical treatment. is the 1st time in more than 3 years that aid flights have been allowed to leave the airport in the yemeni capital sana'a and it's a day the children and their families have waited for. him since he's been suffering from kidney failure for the past 5 years and there isn't any treatment in yemen they don't do transplants in yemen. my son has
3:11 pm
a birth defect in his spinal cord and thank god now the journey has started the journey that we've been promised for the past year and a half that we've been waiting for. most of the other patients are women and children are. these children are almost too young to remember yemen in peace time now after 5 years of misery that's at least a flicker of hope for the country's most vulnerable citizens. thank you. 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 the good news is that more research better treatment and programs to prevent cancer could help save lives over the next decade cancer kills an estimated 9600000 people in 2018 only heart disease causes more deaths the most frequently diagnosed forms of cancer are
3:12 pm
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 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 el dolly 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 why is that forecast so high. they think sarah the cancer burden we know will grow in high income countries and this report shows that is also going to increase significantly in low and middle income countries as governments are no more effectively treating traditional challenges
3:13 pm
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 and research and investments in cancer control in high income countries that we know both within high income countries the poor
3:14 pm
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 to 8 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
3:15 pm
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 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
3:16 pm
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 bowery from the world health organization in geneva thank you. exercise is also a good for you once you have cancer and are being treated for it research has shown that sports can help and even some doctors include controlled exercise as part of their treatment programs we met with a cancer survivor who says that regular sport and fresh air help her overcome the disease. peter tyler was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 several malignant tumors were found in her breast but the 58 year old didn't panic buy i don't have to fight this disease. i will now do 5.
3:17 pm
test results a promising suggesting she has indeed beaten cancer her best weapon to survive the extreme retraining therapy was exercise in the great outdoors to be outdoors because the inspiration odors is. life life is not indoors life is outdoors and your you're in in your own 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 a-p. in countries she encourages cancer sufferers to exercise in the open air whether here in the austrian alps or in a city park after work getting. 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
3:18 pm
healthy funny menthol strong that's so early for me it's an amazing thing clive for 3 to walk on is from one who treated gives me incredible strength as i drag myself in every time after 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. still spare a p that's going to fit the mold sports alone does not kill cancer cells but it could help in the fight against the disease. to some other news now the united nations says that it believes libya's warring factions are prepared to meet for face to face cease fire talks they're trying to end the years of conflicts between rival governments and has sentenced a man to death for spying for the cia
