to celebrate the lunar new year at least $26.00 people have died and more than 8 $130.00 cases of the coronavirus have been confirmed but health authorities fear the infection rate could saw during what is normally china's busiest travel period of the year the outbreak 1st. emerged in who bays provincial capital will han it's a transport locked down the number of other cities in the province of also enforced restrictions affecting around 14000000 people but the virus is spreading the 1st 2 deaths outside of who have now been confirmed one person has died and who by which borders beijing the other heilongjiang cases of the current virus and now confirmed in the early every province of china new year's celebrations have been cancelled in the capital beijing and shanghai this new land will be shut down from saturday let's go live to scott highly joins us from beijing and the latest casualty of parts of the great wall to. that is yes parts of the great wall have been close now to tourists and visitors because of concerns of passing along this virus from people that that really aren't showing symptoms but might be carrying the virus other news coming out of the capital here beijing today the government has now put the cabinet the government's cabinet in charge of dealing with this crisis they've also appointed the head a sars expert who led the reaction and then the organization for the combating the sars back in 2003 he is now in charge of a new group that they're putting forth here again that will be controlled by the cabinet here now it's as you mentioned it's quite amazing when you think about you know over 40000000 people are on lockdown now because of this virus in the government taking it very seriously and sending the order up to the cabinet level they'll control and handle the situation and they're also introducing new restrictions in tell us about that. the other news chickens in there you know we know that you know there are more than then a dozen cities who are in complete lockdown we know that we're getting word that reports that that even mcdonald's restaurants in 3 of these cities are on lockdown have closed also what's very interesting is a hospital is being built in this is the epicenter of the virus now that's going to be built officials say within 6 days they broke ground late thursday night and they say that will be done early next week now this is something they did during the sars crisis as well just outside here beijing they built a hospital just to deal with cases this hospital is going to have about a 1000 beds they say but many things going on across china as are many developments on the day and this is how it unfolded. rushing to catch the last trains before the lunar new year many of these passengers at the beijing west railway station i thinking of the corona virus you were judging i don't think this virus has been properly controlled i just came back to china i read a lot of news i'm too med i'm not very satisfied with how the government prevented and controlled the disease and they're afraid of getting infected i am really afraid of those people were relieved and left but i do hope the situation will be improved soon. and those inside the city of will han are becoming more frustrated because medical supplies are running short and hospitals are short staffed many festivals for the lunar new year holiday have been canceled across china and not just in the central who province the epicenter of the virus in a rare move the government has closed the forbidden city here in beijing over health concerns related to the coronavirus something they didn't do some 17 years ago during the sars crisis. the chinese government was criticized for the way it handled the sars virus back in 2003 mainly for its lack of transparency the world health organization has decided not to declare the current outbreak a global health emergency but there's growing concern over the coming week when the millions of people who have traveled for the holiday return again raising the risk the virus may be spread further by people who are contaminated but have yet to show symptoms scott hodler al-jazeera beijing. hong kong health authorities say they're investigating more than 200 suspected cases of the virus thousands of people have been turning up to the city's hospitals. yesterday we have more than 5000. and the attend this. medical bets occupancy rate is 97 percent and sure it's quite full but not as full as the peak of the window so right now it's just like the thought that but we often we perceive that after the chinese new year long holiday usually there will be a further search in the amount of the amount not just from the isolation that but from the other things like the fruit symptoms. other kinds of the season. adrian brown is in hong kong where he says many residents choosing to stay home amid the outbreak. i am at a flower market in causeway bay in central hong kong this is an annual lunar new year event but as you can see far fewer people here this year various reasons is that the virus of course and also the ongoing political protests here in hong kong now we do have more than 200 suspected virus cases here in hong kong we have 2 people confirmed with the virus and we've been hearing today from the hospital authorities of hong kong outlining the challenges they face in trying to ensure they have enough beds to cope with demand if indeed this virus spreads and continues to spread here they have been speaking to a doctor who represents 6000 doctors working in the public sector here in hong kong and she says you know in a good month occupancy rate in hospitals is about 9899 percent so she questions actually whether hong kong is capable of actually handling a major outbreak we have to remember that you know the hong kong china border is one of the busiest in the world hundreds of thousands cross backwards and forwards every day and in fact we learned tonight that more than 2002 groups from hong kong and china have now been canceled because of that as well as a number of carnivals and lunar new year festivals here in hong kong. let's take you now to the world health organization in geneva which is giving a briefing that's the name to what they're saying you know here quickly. very quickly. it is just a clarification so for coronary risks there is no antiviral no medicine no vaccine nothing for coronary years. sorry ok so let's be let's be very clear here so there is not particularly treatment but it doesn't mean that you cannot treat people because you know and if you look into our clinical guidance and i was reading it it's really like you look what symptoms the person presents to you so you look at if there is dyspnea breathing problem is it is it a fever in a severe case of a good book pneumonia so depending on symptoms and stages you will then provide certain treatment but there is no particular treatment for this particular virus just as there is no particular treatment for mercy that is being around since 2012 there are some trials looking into what could work better but there is no particular antiviral treatment same for the scene there is no particular vaccine there is there is some work being done and there are some trials now for mers and we may look at some point whether those treatments and like scenes would have some effect on this novel coronavirus so this is work that is being done so we are working really we did we did our networks to try to understand the virus try to see how diagnostics could be done to see what works and what doesn't but if we are still at the early stage. ok thank you very much. stiffened 70 sorry you had a question. thank you do you with this surge in cases overnight and reports the chinese have said that they're building this 1000 bed hospital in han there's also some reports in different cities now that 10 are affected in china 10 cities that there are some people it's going to russian masks and so forth are you getting you know is w.h.o. supplying anything in terms of. protective equipment for health care workers or others are you have a flow of any support to china at this point and can you comment. also there are some reports about some of the symptoms been changing that there is more vomiting and diarrhea in some cases that's just one report which i'm not to anyway but you know i'm not aware of any changes in in and sometimes we were really for we did we do we do with the national authorities from day one as we have been saying we had a mission that was in you know was a couple of days ago and then they were really looking into mourner to me logical data. to finish earned and the sort of things are not aware that we have received any requests for material supplies. when listening in there to the world health organization official talking about the efforts they're making from trying to stock up on supplies in some areas where both supplies deleted depleted to attempts to try and come up to experiment with trials of a vaccine. still no breakthrough though and cases of the current virus are being reported in other asian countries a 2nd has been confirmed in south korea which is seeing a large influx of chinese tourists so the new year holiday from a bribe is in the capital with more on the precautions being taken there. south korea is one of the most popular destinations in asia for chinese tourists and in this coming holiday period the country is expecting to play host 213-0000 visitors from china now while direct flights from hand have been suspended this influx is a cause for concern here and south korea is putting in place the usual precautions such as health checks at points of entry and so on the country is no stranger to outbreaks like this one back in 2015 it was badly impacted by another type of coronavirus the mers virus from the middle east that made nearly 200 people sick 38 of whom actually died so south korea is well aware of the dangers and has in place the kind of precautions a needs to take the same cannot be said of north korea a lack of resources then means it is far more vulnerable to a public health emergency such as this one and it has done in the past for example with the above the virus put in place far more drastic measures stopping all visitors while this might guarantee that it will get no cases of the coronavirus it is very bad for its economy because a tourism especially from china is one of the few areas that are not covered by u.n. sanctions and that has been developing as a much needed source of foreign revenue and that is a stream of revenue that will now stop as long as this emergency continues thousands have been a rallying in the iraq's capital against the u.s. military presence people responded to a call by a cleric. he controls the largest bloc in the last house of parliament earlier this month and he's passed a bill asking foreign

iraq and he's got these people behind him now they've come from all over the south of the country many people have been bussed in to show support to the very influential shia cleric now this is a rally that's likely have been planned for a while motel i let me say with a militia leaders over the last few weeks to join discuss what they would need to do to put pressure on the government to get rid of u.s. troops and u.s. presence in iraq now they decided something like this would be the 1st way of sending a message. the message is very clear like i say it's about getting rid of u.s. troops however this is a government that's in turmoil there are going on going on see government protest since october this is quite separate from those protests and there is a caretaker prime minister prime minister. now he hasn't been able to put any pressure on the u.s. indeed what the u.s. has said is that we're here at the invitation of the rockies and we're going to start. still ahead of al jazeera

senate chamber a sketch artist captures the scene 100 senators without their phones barred from speaking and some even looking bored with the process the democrats lead impeachment manager opened the 2nd day of arguments in the case against president trump with a moment of where levity remarketing on his audience's silence of course it doesn't hurt that the morning starts out every day with the sergeant at arms warning you that if you don't you will be in prison but then it was back to the arguments thursday focused on the allegation that trump abused his power when he asked ukraine for election interference to his own benefit the articles in the evidence conclusively established that president trump is places own personal political interests 1st he has placed them above our national security above our free and fair elections and above our system of checks and balances. this conduct is not america 1st it is donald trump 1st republicans have stuck by the president some calling the democrats' arguments repetitive and unconvincing i want the american people to pick the next president not me the president's attorneys will present their case for acquittal in coming days arguing trump did nothing wrong and that the accusations against him are not impeachable offenses just don't have to meet basic fundamental constitutional obligations and they have to expect to hear more arguments from both sides for the next few days than senators will have a chance to ask questions before democrats make their next big move they hope to open this trial to new witnesses only possible with some republican support the question is whether the democrats' arguments will be convincing enough to leave the senate wanting more heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington donald trump says he'll

states it's an election year and he considers himself a deal maker and he has said that peace in the middle east would be the deal of all deal so there's a lot of incentive from the administration to get something done here as far as the details though don't have a lot of information at this point we know that there's an economic component and a political component to the deal the economic component was announced by kushner back over the summer he said $50000000000.00 in economic development package politically though the united states has already made concessions to israel they recognized jerusalem as israel's capital moved the u.s. embassy there over the summer just recently secretary of state my pump aoe said that the united states would no longer consider israeli settlements in the west bank illegal all of this up undoing tradition in the u.s. for a long time international agreements international law these were issues that were supposed to be part of final status negotiations in the united states kind of unilaterally moved ahead and took sides with israel now we have prime minister netanyahu talking about and axing part of the west bank and so there's
