day usually 1st love underlying tells you to renew use what you can do to save lives. i'm glad mark thank you so much for joining us so well we start this broadcast with iowa's caucus chaos technical glitches have delayed the release of results from the state's caucuses that kicked off america's presidential primary race on monday democratic voters attended the local meetings across the state to start the process of determining which candidate will challenge president donald trump in november party officials say the delay was due to a cooling issue with a new smartphone app for reporting local results the fischel vote tally is expected later this evening. release 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 was hinted it had been a difficult night was of the war and the case is going to be close we're going to walk out of 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 it's on a new hampshire was south carolina well beyond what mr roth. is the delay has coolest embarrassment for the democrats biden's campaign wrote a letter demanding a full explanation for the problems. but some of the candidates used to delay to declare their successes regardless when those results are already filed so 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 what it is to cluster call so i'm just going to tell you what i do know you was it was really 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 a reporting my ball app all the candidates are united in their dislike of president donald trump but his campaign has laps out what it called a meltdown they can see from around 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 i want you some committees. let's get you the latest now want to take you to do that we correspond apollo fully ileus he is standing by in washington d.c. public so good to see you what does this all mean for the democratic presidential hopefuls these paul problems in iowa well it certainly doesn't look good for them in many respects press think what we need to focus 1st and foremost is in the fact that we should have soem results at some point this afternoon it's being said now that the iowa democratic party dave committed saying at that the majority of the iowa caucus results will be in by 5 pm e.d.t. that's of course 6 hours later in central europe it's definitely given us plenty of discussion here it's you know basically all the continents are trying to sort of move on from this this problem nothing has happened in iowa and focus on what's happening in their next sort of most important campaign which is of course the new

hampshire primary which is taking place next week so that's very much what they're trying to do focus on the focus on the positives so they've moved on now president donald trump took aim at the caucus chaos in i were the tweeted earlier today that the democrat caucus is an unmitigated disaster how damaging really was it pablo that what unfolded in iowa for the democrats. well it's really how much thought or they've given in many respects to president trev we've seen that there in those tweets you know his message is being very much that the democrats are incompetent so this is sort of playing into that once again he's saying that the democrats really messed up and you know it was even mentioned in the report there how that trims campaign manager as well has had plenty of very critical words for the democrats and he's even gone on to say that they if they can even run a coke is how they plan on running

a government so this is all sort of very good for the trump campaign and not very good for at the democrats who at the moment still of course don't have a candidate who is jumping out from from the ones who are who are remaining but of course president trump is using that and it's a way of him focusing on the positives in his campaign ahead of course of his expected acquittal in the impeachment vote which is going to take place on wednesday all right i've got to wrap up the debacle in iowa comes of course just right before president wraps angle state of the union address taking place just hours from now what can we expect from the address where we can expect him not to talk very much about the impeachment that's what senior republicans want they want to him to focus on the positives of his presidency talk about how the economy is doing how well it's doing now focus focus on the fact that there's been no recession under his presidency talk about how wages employment is down and the markets are doing well and you know he's also been big to talk about how his

approval ratings have actually increased and they just basically one of focus on those issues and not focus on impeachment at all and i'm sure he'll be talking as well as what's happened in iowa publicly is reporting for you from washington as always thank you. want to turn our attention now to our other top story a 2nd death from the corona virus outside the chinese mainland has been confirmed in hong kong well the 1st was in the philippines china says 425 people have now died of the disease on the mainland and the number of confirmed infections has surged above 20000 are present using thing as a clear what he calls a people's war of prevention on the virus but alarm is 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 won't from the government. i don't think i hope the government listens to our demands quickly closes all the 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 saw dolphin 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 if you will make them wear masks 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. now although the virus is spreading fast in and outside of china the world health organization is that today that the corona virus is not yet a pandemic that is an epidemic that crosses in national borders and occurs worldwide all in white areas of the world are going to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. libya's warring factions have met for face to face cease fire talks brokered by the un in geneva they're trying to end years of conflict between rival governments fighting has continued since last month's conference in berlin in which foreign powers pledged to stay out

of the war. there's been a 2nd day of unrest on the greek island of less boss with police again breaking up a protest staged by hundreds of migrants they're angry over poor conditions and slow processing at the island's makeshift camps the country's migration minister concedes the situation unless boss is a problem. kenya's former autocratic president daniel arap mori who has died aged 95 or 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. the world health organization says the number of people suffering from cancer is likely to rise sharply in the coming years the warning is included in a report 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 while cancer killed an estimated 9600000 people in 2800 only hard disease causes more deaths while the most frequently diagnosed forms of cancer are lung cancer and breast cancer each responsible for just under 12 percent of cases their closely followed by colon cancer at around 10 percent while smoking tobacco tops the list of preventable causes of cancer deaths is followed by an unhealthy diet obesity and lack of exercise and we use a mag sander spoke to you commission president gore's live under lying about players to roll out and campaign to tackle cancer rates. commission president as a health professional yourself as someone with a personal history of history related to cancer what does this program your beats cancer mean to you personally it is

a very personal one because me like everyone else knows somebody be it a relative or a colleague or friend who died of cancer. sadly the numbers of cancer disease are on the rise but we can do something against it therefore today we want to call on everybody in europe to beating cancer plan to contribute to a solution and what are the concrete steps what can the european union do with the individual member states cannot do we have a large convening power 1st of all if we look at the topic of prevention we could do with a more because we know that 40 percent of all cancers are preventable and only 3 percent of the health budgets i invested in prevention so broaden the knowledge about prevention secondly modern technology the european budget can contribute in investing in modern technologies that are lifesavers for cancer diseases and for example the horizon europe program can contribute massively in developing these

modern technologies and the 3rd part is screening and early detection so we know that every woman every man should have access to screening because this is the best way to fight cancer you just touched on screening and there appears to be some inequality within the individual member states when it comes to screening and access to medical treatment what has to be done about this we have to find a common ground on access to screening and it's the right of every person to have access to screening for example vaccination when we're talking about cervical cancer and it is very important for us to make understood that this screening is lifesaving so a lot we know for example that 15000 women persia here are dying of cervical cancer in. the european union part of these deaths could have been prevented if there would have been early screening and access to vaccination and to broaden his knowledge and to find a common way to move forward is important in this you are beating cancer plan and

you do remain positive that in 20 years time nobody in the european union will have to die from cancer anymore this is our goal we have to step up and work hard for it but there's a lot of things we can do put together a commission president thank you very much thank you. now to south korea a court there has ruled that 2 football fans will be awarded more than 300 years each after christiana ronaldo failed to show up in a pre-season friendly held in the capital seoul last july while the court ruled that the pair should receive compensation after purchasing tickets from organizers who promised the uganda star would play at least 45 minutes of the match dozens more lawsuits have been filed with some fans claiming to have suffered quote mental anguish over the portuguese forwards no show. you're watching it every news coming up next in business africa. and judge issues and arrest warrant for former south
