rule have not been broken but to some those guarantees now seem worth of this adrian brown al-jazeera on kong robert scott is a senior international economist at the economic policy institute he says the u.s. has limited options to put pressure on china. certainly we can sanction china in international arena as we can consider terrorists from putting limits on their diplomats that mean limits on their voting rights in forums like the international monetary fund we're trying to china has sought to increase representation so there's one step we can take and i think the key is to actually curtail china's economic power which we have failed to do over the past 2 decades it is still the enormous trade surpluses and its uses to fuel this growing gemini around the world there are sanctions the united states can put in place on businesses operating in hong kong specially chinese businesses so that's one option available to us and i think that would make progress unfortunately i think china has decided that it does not need a financial power and that was tested in hong kong before it is powerful of itself china si

adrian brown al jazeera singapore. let's bring in our guests in washington d.c. scott snyder senior fellow for korea studies and director of the program on the u.s. korea policy of the council on foreign relations in singapore time a junk research fellow for the east asian institute of the national university of singapore and joining us on skype from beijing. director of the china national association of international studies thank you all for joining us. scott isn't this an historic meeting by all stand. it was definitely an impressive and historic event this is the first time in seventy years us the north korean leader have match it was certainly well stage and i think a change in many respects in the international environment in east asia. first of all u.s. president was willing to meet with a north korean leader but secondly i don't think that sort of meeting could have occurred without the facilitation and support of south korea and president in which has been who has been the most active supporter in trying to put these two together time who would have ever thoug

well for a number of reasons adrian as has been reported in scott's piece a few moments ago the boys it's hoped knew the cave system fairly well they most of them anyway had been inside it with their coach a few times before so there is hope that once the water level began to rise on saturday when they went in there that they were able to push forward to an area that they would hope would be dry because it is very. inside that cave system but inevitably in these situations you eventually get questioned you get to allegations that perhaps the process to begin the search and rescue operation hasn't been fast enough and we are seeing that already from some people in this community saying that look the alarm was first raised on saturday afternoon late on saturday when one of the boys failed to return home the navy divers didn't arrive on the scene until very early on monday morning so some people are saying that just simply wasn't fast enough the governor of chiang rai province has responded to those questions to those allegations saying that they are moving as fast as they can the reaso

or oh thanks so much for that update there from scott continue this though with adrian brownies in hong kong outside a theme park has now been shut down to prevent the spread of coronavirus so clearly the economy they're taking a hit. that's right some eon not actually outside that theme park i mean anymore we're actually in the center of hong kong where a short time ago officials from the hospital authority and the health department met the media to provide an update and they say in fact that the number of suspected cases has now gone up by 77 taking it to more than 380 suspected cases and the number of confirmed cases have risen from $5.00 to $6.00 also another confirmed case in macau taking the total there to 3 the hospital 30 also say they are readying another quarantine center turning a former holiday camp into a quarantine center and we've also heard from a microbiologist who was talking yesterday he says that he believes there are number of undetected cases in hong kong now some experts are now warning the incubation period for this virus could be up to 14 days so it's possible t

determine the outcome of his planned meetings with president trump next weekend adrian brown al jazeera asia. let's bring in scott snyder who is director of the u.s. korea policy program at the council on foreign relations joins us live from washington d.c. scott so what do you make of this especially given the time you had of the g. 20 summit. well the timing is axel in terms of especially generating speculation about the possibility that she could bring a message from kemp to trump obviously this really helps xi jinping in terms of having an issue in the u.s. trying to a relationship where the u.s. united states and china actually have a prospect of agreeing with each other you know the trade issue hong kong taiwan those are all much more difficult than north korea and this also puts xi jinping back in the game on the korean peninsula in a way that we haven't seen in a long time for china so 1st and foremost it's about repairing a relationship that's been pretty strained over the nuclear issue. yes i think that remains the outstanding issue one really interesting question is how she jinping is talking to kim jo

from the protests which marred what was never going to be a day of celebration adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong. well scott hi-lo is live at the queen elizabeth hospital in hong kong where the protester who was shot is being treated to a custom by asking you whether off to this upsurge of violence you think that this is something of a tipping point in the protests where do we stand up to this critical much. needed could very well be a tipping point because as we heard in agents report there this is the 1st time that a protester has been shot wounded by a police bullet we know that live rounds had been fired in the past as warning rounds this is the 1st time a protester was actually hit a teenager in the hospital behind me he was initially brought to a hospital the other part of and then brought here to queen elizabeth for specialty services especially treatment we know that he no major organs were hit but he is still in critical condition he underwent surgery when he arrived here late on tuesday we know that his lung collapsed and he was hit in the chest earlier police said that identified it more as lay i

going to be a very increased concern here in china all right good stuff there from scott let's cross over now though to adrian brownlee is live for us in hong kong with the latest right now there in adrian as we look at the headlines more cases in more countries it looks like a virus that spreading right. that's right here in hong kong the seriousness of the situation was underscored on saturday afternoon when the chief executive carrier addressed the media she had arrived back in hong kong just several hours earlier from the davos world leaders' economic forum she announced that she was basically. changing the government's response to this crisis to emergency that's a very high level and that and as i say reflects just how serious the government is now taking this she setting up no less than 4 task force to look at various aspects aspects of how to contain this spreading virus other measures she announced did not though include the temporary closure of the border between hong kong and china that's what many people here in hong kong had wanted her to do instead she's going to insist that all people arriving f

people adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong and for more on that public acknowledgement adrian was mentioning let's bring in scott heiler he's joining us from beijing so the leaders in china as we're hearing they're calling this epidemic as a major test the china system what were they saying and what are we to read into these comments scott. yes absolutely the top 7 leaders of this nation led by president xi jinping had another very rare standing committee of the pullup euro meeting and out of that they said they were short comings and that there were difficulties in the early stages of dealing with this coronavirus crisis and they're carrying the way through they're trying to correct as much as they can they said that and they say they there are systems that need to be corrected and improved that's quite a rare admission from the very top government officials here in the central government here in beijing that what's going to be interesting moving forward ok they are saying this this is they say this is a difficult situation what are they going to do to change things we do know now what they're trying to do is b

their anger but we'll find out how beijing is looking at those developments with adrian brown in a bit but 1st let's talk to scott hide and hong kong. scott you outside the legislative council we've already seen riot police deployed that this morning is there a concern about further violence especially given those numbers. council building known as let's go is that block building behind me you'll see in front of that black building at least on this side there are thousands of protesters and we've been here for over an hour and there's been a steady stream of protesters gathering this group back here they've also been dragging the gates and coridon is in front of them as well that is because mainly 200 meters down this road behind the camera riot police have started to stage about the same time a 90 minutes ago i would say dozens at this stage so right now obviously this is a point where there could be some kind of confrontation you know we have seen a scuffle we saw scuffles sunday night during that 1000000 person protest here around let's go right now there haven't been any scuffles we know that a few 100 protes

during can't t, the fires have been put out for the most part were south of scott about 20 kilometers are right on the adrian coast. i can see to see from where i'm standing and what you might see behind me is a burnt olive grove. and we're seeing a lot of these in these region. they're mainly family operations. people make their own olive oil. but these olive trees just fueled fires over the weekend weekend and families are now coming back families we've been seeing and assessing the damage at their properties. some of these olive trees date back century. so there's a lot of heartache and heartbreak that we're seeing with the family to as they return. some of them have lost property as well in addition, but they're really assessing the situation to fire brigade just passed us moments ago. there also seeing if any of these fires still have dangerous embers, but here in the center of italy, they've gotten a break in the hot weather. it's still warm. it's about 30 degrees where i'm standing right now. but the real problem is south of here in puleo and calabi and sicily, where fire brigades are struggling again

be punished that amounts to a public acknowledgement that they failed the people adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong scott hyder is in beijing he explains how chinese officials are reacting to criticism of their response to the virus. you know they've said that their short comings and difficulties in the way that they've dealt with this so far you know that that kind of goes from the low levels of government all the way up to the 7 most powerful leaders here in china know 2 times since this crisis has really surfaced over the last 10 days the pope or a standing committee has met that's the 7 most powerful leaders in this nation led by xi jinping the president and they met just within the last 32 hours 24 hours and they said that there were short comings and problems with the way that this was handled so obviously that's a big admission now later in the day we heard from the health commission the national health commission and they said that they do not yet see what they called a turning point a century when the numbers of those infected and deaths related to corona virus they haven't plateaued or they hav

they've ignored it before let's see what they do in the coming hours adrian 00 school heidi reporting live from bangkok they thanks scott. the governor of afghanistan's helmand province is accusing the taliban of working with al qaida and other foreign fighters. says that the armed groups are supporting the taliban and attacks against government forces fighting has been escalating in recent days raising concerns that stalled peace talks may collapse completely lived out of kabul filio contraflow is for us what are we to make of the the governor's comments . well you know i demanded to important to say at the moment that the fighting heavy fighting between government forces and the taliban in the south and province of helmand and its 7th day we contacted the governor's office and he's in helmand and he spokesman confirmed to us what the government has been saying that. and other foreign fighters have been supporting the taliban offensive in home on it when we asked where are they basing this he said that they have all the evidence however it sensitive information that cannot release at the time now should this turn out t

away from the protests which marred what was never going to be a day of celebration adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong. scott hi liz live from the school of the teenager who was shot by police during protests. we seem to be something of a crossroads when it comes to the process that we know. particularly after the firing of live rounds against demonstrations where do we stand. yes and where in front of a secondary school that you and you can tended now something amazing here just over the last hour or 2 you know hundreds were gathering out front it's a bit empty out here now that's because they are now inside the secondary school the principal came out addressed the crowd for a little bit and then they brought them in for into the assembly hall so they could have a discussion almost immediately after the principal came out he brought them in so it's quite an amazing feat for this principal he is just the principal of the school secondary school where this shooting victim attended he's brought them in these people a lot of them themselves alumni of this secondary school they were out here protesting they're i
