film to win best picture at the oscars. and in sport in our milan make a big move in the race to win the italian league title and her comeback from to kneel down to win the man darby and gold top the table. we begin in syria where government forces have killed 5 turkish soldiers in the northwestern it liberal vince a turkish base. in the region came under heavy shelling on current has deployed soldiers in response to the syrian army's recent advances meanwhile opposition fighters have become a military offensive to push back against the government's video appears to show rebels with newly supplied turkish armored vehicles now it'll a province and parts of neighboring aleppo are serious last opposition strongholds nearly 700000 people have been displaced by fighting in this part of the country since december the syrian government forces say they have advanced 600 square kilometers into both adlib and aleppo provinces and that includes the capture of the town of sara keep in lip the army is also set to fully take control of the m 5 that is syria's longest highway collect connects rather aleppo to its capital damascus well. who is inside syria at the bob hour how a crossing not far from the border with turkey says sin and that's this is quite an escalation that we are seeing just not just tell us more about what's happening on the grounds. well approve of leave this is the highest tension biggest escalation between damascus and on car since the syrian civil wars began 9 years ago because 2 armies have never confronted each other directly they have never combats of each other directly until last week syrian army hits a turkish convoy that was meant to bring reinforcements to do turkish military observation posts inside declared that were agreed upon the. agreement this collations on agreement and by the request of the syrian government along with moscow sorry for this long sentence but when you're talking about this region you're all you need to also explain the background this tension is very high it has been on the ground since last week this way and probably the turkish reinforcements that have been deployed in the area since last week and maybe even more than what turkey has deployed to the euphrates to other area peace bring a area operation all of branch area these areas are currently under turkish either turkish military control or the turkish backed opposition control the escalation is expected to rise because of the the diplomatic talks doesn't bring any solution on the table turkey and russia as a go in terms of. this clinicians on 2 delegations met in the turkish capital ankara last week and today there was a meeting which lasted less than and shorter than expected that the legation and it is still for its base and turkish foreign minister said today that there is no response i meant to size couldn't come around in a good point so right now it is it is actually a question for everyone what is going to happen what moscow is going to respond because it seems the syrian government wants the turkish military observation post the turkish military presence out of at the school a. zone this right brokered cease fires and everything they want to advance because current then they are controlling at this one 3rd of the province and they are they have the syrian government has vowed to take control of all of lip but by naming anyone they're opposed to the regime as terrorists this is what turkey has been against turkey has been telling moscow many i don't want to put in that people opposing the syrian government's policies are not terrorists for them even a child is a terrorist does that best why they cannot come around a common sense common point and that's why the people actually are suffering here because as the syrian government continues to push from south to north the number of the displaced people are increasing every day and the situation here inside that would in side all these camps are terrible and people are suffering they don't have enough resources to sustain their lives over here no blankets no tents even there is not enough bread for the people here but it seems like diplomacy isn't at the military tension is used as a tool for negotiation whether it's going to bring a solution to the table table is still unknown so there are 2 options whether we will see whether turkey and the syrian government are going to come out small direct to hit each other or there will be another solution given the current tension ok so number one for now thank you very much indeed. from the crossing without so. explore those options now with john mark military and defense analyst joins us now on skype from geneva good to have you with us we heard there from our correspondent touching on what could potentially happen next whichever way you look at it this conference is bringing in parties from all sides turkey is now preparing to square up to syria and the russian backers potentially just how bad do you think this is likely to get. well i think as a correspondent say it's the most important is hellish and we've seen between turkey and do the syrian regime supported by by russia so you have to look at that from a strategic perspective 1st i mean that whole thing started we in 2017 with the so-called saves on these 4 saves own that the regime put in place and basically what happened free of this event have been clear and all of the rebels we're sent to to bend to their them 18 russia and turkey reach an agreement to basically secure a demilitarized zone along the. province and these are green and has never been respected and basically lost here you had. that are a sham which is the former al-qaeda group in the region that did not respect the agreement to regime push for. a province and by december of last year you had a major offensive which led the regime to conquer half of the. province now the situation is the following for turkey d.c. is a matter of strategic interest because turkey does not want to see more refugees and migrants cross the border we are talking here about 600000 possibly migrants and that's that creates a pressure on the turks to to secure this region where the same time the syrian regime is moving beat by beat to re instore it's all over the province but everybody seems to have the strategic interests here every keep seeing these political solutions these potential cease fires being proposed no one disrespecting them nobody is likely to back down from their strategic goals just bluntly do you think that we are going to see this situation escalating to a much more serious level or is there a way for all the different parties to dial this back some. well here basically haven't symmetry because you're a to mention you have lots of different groups in the province and it's typical what we call surrogates war theory turkey has you know some groups in the region depravities that have. these groups do not report to turkey and are former al-qaeda affiliated each year. and dearest basically are very difficult to control so even though an agreement could be reached which has happened in the past no one can guarantee that it will be respected and probably not so because the. verses are pushing more and more your crisper mentions iraq if that was a taken over of this weekend for now the operational goal of the regime is to secure the m 5 highway that links aleppo to massacres and if we look at what happened in the past pearlie the regime wants to be the thing to clear up the area so it's very likely that we will hit a point where the turkish armed forces and the c n n forces will will come to. to the to confrontation ok margaret great to get your thoughts there thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera. thank you. so other news now and with the global effort sickened tain the coronavirus under way the rates of infections issuing little sign of slowing in china health officials have reports is the biggest single day increase in fatalities from the illness since the outbreak began has been $97.00 more deaths in the country bringing the total to $910.00 the world health

months a number of cases has risen to more than 40000 globally in japan dozens more people are confirmed to have the virus or quarantines cruise ship there's now at least $130.00 cases on board that ship were back in china millions of people were expected to go back to work on monday as an extension to the lunar new year holiday ended but saskatoon a year reports from beijing many decided to stay home. street is usually bustling with crowds but this week it's living up to its name the loonie holiday has ended but fears of the coronavirus are keeping many businesses closed. leda his store is one of the few that are open that customers are scarce but he's still careful about who he allows inside delivery men are kept at a distance. how you would hire should come to your entire door that deliver driver has been to too many places and has had contact with too many people so are cautious workers like him. those staying indoors rely on these drivers for food and assess it is but the threat of the virus is taking its toll on you know you through italy and of course i am scared virus is very serious but what can i do i have to keep this all i can do now is wearing the mask and gloves. millions of workers have yet to return to the city those who have missed telephone or she's which provinces they have traveled from. beijing's usually crowded subway is operating at half capacity those not wearing masks are being turned away before entering residential compounds or office buildings people must 1st have temperature checked. those spawn the temperature is higher than 37.5 degrees celsius let's go directly to a hospital to be tested in hot the epicenter of the outbreak streets remain deserted residents are allowed to leave harm only to collect food and supplies but elsewhere scenes aren't so quiet. unverified videos of people being forced from their homes into quarantine vans are circulating on chinese social media. the world health organization has called for calm it sent a team to china to observe the government's response that he will be bringing some of the world class epidemiologists from the w.h.o. that will be able to really understand the transmission dynamics going on understand the severity of illness understand the challenges that china is facing with this outbreak and it will really give the world hopefully a good glimpse of what's going on in china medical experts say the majority of coronavirus cases a mild but many in china are not taking any chances to train e.u. al-jazeera beijing well trained as president has appeared on state television promising his government's efforts to contain the epidemic will prevail if in prime brings us more from hong kong. we haven't seen much of president xi jinping during the past couple of weeks that changed on monday when state television broadcast pictures of him visiting a district of beijing he met neighborhood representatives volunteers and medical workers and there he was wearing a surgical face miles i think that's possibly the 1st time we've seen the chinese president wearing a face mask he also had his temperature taken this was president xi jinping doing his best to burnish his man of the people image he also came to deliver a message he said that together the chinese people the country can overcome this virus if they work together. we must fight the battle for total warfare and the people's war against the epidemic with full confidence we must have the confidence that we will definitely when president xi jinping also wanted to deliver another reassuring message today and that was on jobs he said that the government would prevent large scale job losses that's because of course china's economy has been battered by this virus thousands of factories across the country are now standing idle it's a reminder that the world depends on china for so much but so much of what is producing simply isn't leaving the country and this cern one of the world's largest car producers in japan announced it was shutting production of one of its major plants the problem is the supply chain just last week high on day a south korean car manufacturer said it was having to hold production because it couldn't get the parts it needed from china it's bad now it's going to get much worse. frenzy more so to come on this news are including. a hero's welcome for our we should feel leader after her party edges 82 mainstream center right parties. and find out why lebanese women protesters say now is their moment to finally be arabs. plus we'll have the sports and pakistan's cricketers celebrate a huge win on a whole new soil fireable bring this more basic in the show. but the woman designated to replace german chancellor angela merkel has unexpectedly quits as leader of the governing c.d.u. party and a gret current power is stepping down amid a crisis over a decision by regional representatives to vote alongside the far right a.f.g. party that broke a longstanding agreements among mainstream parties to shun far right groups the cd you must know alexa new chief to take it into the general election next year let's get more now from dominic cain he joins us live from berlin are dominic just as significant a development is this for german politics. well strictly speaking hala a very significant development indeed because if you cast your mind back to december of 2018 many people perceived that come on bar the previous prime minister of the state of czar and a small state in western germany as merkel 2.0 as her protege or somebody who could as it were take on the reins of power in germany from the autumn of next year of 2021 when angolan arkell will cease being chancellor now all of a sudden all those hopes of gone up in smoke is it worse she's having to metaphorically for her own sort and to go and she will be going in the summer allowing for a process to unfold in which a successor will be chosen but there's more to it than that because the party that she has been in charge of well there have been many mistakes that she has made something that's what analysts and indeed some of her own. members of her own party senior members of our party have cited things that she has done where she hasn't really given a great steer made the party you realise where she wants to take it certainly that's the case in the state of the ring year that's well last week members of her party members of the state parliament there voted for a liberal candidate as prime minister but did so with the air 50 the alternative for germany party the far right party which until now effectively no one has worked where there's been a to boot the mainstream party said we will not work with the far right now all of a sudden it looked as though her her members of parliament were doing so and so for her this is obviously a terrible moment but for her party it's a particularly poignant moment who do they choose angle americal has as a mandate but also has a time limit or to next year they've got to find somebody to replace her and now that race is wide open ok dominic cain bring as all the latest there from berlin and i thank you. what can sing is continuing for a 2nd day in arlen's historic general election a surge in support for leftwing shin fein has put it ahead of the 2 dominant sense of right parties for the 1st time leader mary lou mcdonald has called it a revolution in irish politics and no one party will win enough seats to form a government spokesman donald has already approached other left wing leaders for coalition talks but says she is open to discussions with rivals well let's get more now from sean hoare he he's a lecturer at the institute of irish studies at the university of the report and joins us now from that good to have you with us on the al-jazeera news hour just for those of us who aren't perhaps familiar with the ins and outs of virus politics it does seem quite inconceivable that a parsi with the historical connections that shin fein does to have them coming in a pool position in a mainstream election it just seems rather extraordinary how do you explain this. well i think you've used the right word there are extraordinary and i think people in a lot of people in the republic of ireland are fighting the c.m. way this is an unprecedented election for 100 years since the formation of the state that these 2 parties feel a foil and finicky will have been in part one of the other or sometimes both so it is highly significant that that kind of job really has been broken but it's doubly significant that it is shin feehan party that we are familiar with the northern ireland as a party in government that's been in government and the north since 2002 it has never been in government and the republic of ireland and is not he said to be so very very difficult for the to me and parties because only a few days ago both of them in the size making pledges that they would never sit with sinn fein and government and neither facing. the the winner of this election. what do you think that staying in ca i mean has there been some kind of detox if occasion or should faint brands because for many of our international viewers when you hear shin fein you do you think of the history with the i r e is that how they're seen in. among the electorate in arlin's or has there been some kind of shift over the years. i think well as far as the of the to me and parties are concerned whenever sinn féin started to rise in the polls last week and the week before they did try to. fit in with its kind of historical affiliation with the provisional ira it hasn't worked people in the republic of ireland on saturday voted on not a day in delia issues they voted on housing on homelessness they voted on issues to do with the retirement age in the republic of ireland position on those issues was a popular position so i think what we've learned is the electorate in the republic of ireland are not i are less concerned much less concerned western vians history the kind of political spokes person for organization for the provisional ira they look to the north and northern ireland were 3 and has been a party of government for for many years and i think not about any just starting to filter through the chin thin might be a quote normal party of government and here you know they did so that their voices were perhaps more swayed by these kitchen table issues the day to day electoral issues but it is difficult to discount the fact that should raise on d'être if you will is this campaign to award a united ireland how does this election results are still waiting on that results of course but how does that change the conversation a range of potential votes for a united ireland is that something we're likely to see. i think talk about the border. will be on the up and the deputy leader of sinn féin michelle name she said this morning that the republican project will be part of the discussions on any potential partner with government but it is worth pointing out that the good friday agreement the 1998. that leaves the responsibility of a border poland northern ireland with the british secretary of state so regardless of what happens that and the in the south the responsibility for calling the border poor remains with the secretary of state at the united kingdom secretary of state for northern ireland that said the optics are that we're not going to have shin feehan and government north of the border and quite likely vian and government sides of the border so i do think that those. impulses to the campaign for a border post and i think at the very least it will feature in the discussions with . a foreigner for an appeal in the next couple of weeks is. on those other 2 parties try to work out if they are able to get a coalition to govern and in the south so in the in the immediate. short term i don't think we will see a massive push for a border but research that come out for the recently in the republic of ireland showed that there is a majority of support for the border post in the south it's the north that is going to if there's any delay in a border post it's going to be because of delays and the north because of the responsibility for the border port remaining west the british government and boris johnson's conservative government will be in no hurry to have a referendum on arlin's position on arms position in the united kingdom when it has already been so for arm with nicolas arjun and denying her a referendum on scottish independence ok well it sounds like we'll be talking about ireland the u.k. says the bracks of a quite some time to come but for now shaun harvey great to get your thoughts and your insights on how he there joining us from the university of liverpool. now leaders from across africa have concluded 2 days of talks on high to bring security to the continent's this year's african union summit focused on curbing regional violence so countries can embrace developments and boost their economies after hours of meetings they use peace and security council cold on the international community to stop outside interference in libya we want this iteration of force to be fully respected. we want the un embargo on armaments to libya also to be strictly respected and 3rd we want an immediate cessation of all external interventions and interferences in libyan affairs. so to come here on al-jazeera donald trump unveils his the budget proposal that looks a lot like his presidential campaign promises a budget that kids be dead on arrival in congress here in the u.s. state of the hampshire climate change is on the minds of voters but will it change their preference for president and in sports history really his record goalscorer kicks off a new chapter in his career. extending a little chilly across the middle east at the moment we had temperatures around 6 or 7 fold damascus and jerusalem recently the cholera sinking its way further south which you can see a cloud through iraq into iran a sense of place in places a plow and right in that cloud also stretching down across the gulf even here in casa we'll see temperatures falling away quite noticeably over the next choose day would have a top temperature in doha of around 80 degrees some rain on the other side of the gulf that would straighten moves some big downpours a possibility in some wintry weather there into afghanistan back up until event so wet so windy and so wintry weather here as well but creeping up to around 9 or 10 celsius in damascus for tuesday into wednesday a tad warmest still but temperatures really struggling in kuwait 10 degrees celsius is absolutely bad we'll see temperatures around 15 degrees there for doha certainly feeling very cold with that wind blowing across the region lifted dust and sand certainly a possibility for many. got a few showers just around the 8th european hadas but across much of north africa mali could see some wet weather having said that dry and fine weather continues across a good part of the region but i have it was the far west of the area we could see a few showers. but. radicalism is on the rise across the globe and we're told it's every west we're told we're supposed to be highly suspicious of everybody and everything but our government policies aimed at tackling radicalization in fact pushing youngsters to the fringes of society the impact is huge typing on them and there's only so much they can take before you say ok that's me rethinking radicalization of the radicalized youth series on al-jazeera the plundering of armenia's natural riches has uprooted residents and desecrated the habitat of some of europe's most endangered species. but the remarkable campaign by local residents is challenging the miked of the country's investors and putting high hopes on its newly elected prime minister people in power investigates armenia mining out the left. on a. the and. the . the. this is al jazeera a quick reminder of our headlines this hour turkey says the syrian government forces have killed 5 overt soldiers in northwestern it live syrian government troops attacked their military posts there earlier syrian opposition forces began a military offensive to push out its regime troops a team of w.h.o. and experts has now rights in china to investigate the coronavirus outbreak global death toll from the illness has breached $910.00 china and einstein 97 more deaths on sunday the biggest single day increase since the epidemic began and the woman designated to replace german chancellor angela merkel has unexpectedly quit as leader of the governing c.d.u. party and a great scrub of current power is stepping down over a decision by the beach of representatives to vote along sides the far right f.t. party. a us president donald trump is expected to unveil to congress his blueprints for the u.s. budget in 2021 he's proposing a $4.00 trillion dollar plan the largest in federal history that he wants to raise military spending by 2 and a half $1000000000.00 that would make it reach $740000000000.00 he also wants to reduce foreign aid by more than $10000000000.00 trumps also cutting billions of in funding from the commerce departments the environmental protection agency state departments. and the centers for disease control and prevention and once again he's asking congress for money to build a wall along the mexican border he wants an extra $2000000000.00 for that project that's less than the 8600000000 he asked for last year let's get more now from campbell hole critz our white house correspondent she joins us live i just can't believe what does this what does this tell us about trump's priorities for the coming year. well it certainly outlines his wish list and i think the key word in there as you sort of ticked off the highlights of this budget it's what the president wants it's not necessarily what he's going to get in fact it's pretty unlikely he's going to get this but it does give us a sense of the administration's priorities and this is particularly interesting in an election year because this is all about trying to satisfy those who you're hoping will come to the ballot box in november and that is certainly the case for donald trump so when you look at all of this certainly there is a little bit of something for everybody there's infrastructure there is internet for rural parts that helped donald trump win in 2016 year hopes will help him win reelection but there are also some concerns about what has been cut and that is some social spending despite the promise by the president that that wouldn't be the case as there certainly is overall a shrinking of government which is something that most conservatives in this country are looking for but again when it comes to priorities the certainly is very consistent with the president's campaign promises and his america 1st packaging and promises but at the same time in terms of the president actually getting all of this it's pretty unlikely but one of his campaign promises from the last election because you will be back on the kosi for this election is of course not border won't trump sequitur policy but it's interesting here the requests it from certain for the war has been significantly greater tell us more about. well it's because in some cases the president has gotten some money in the other case it was really difficult to get it so the expectations have been downgraded but you're right this is still a promise that donald trump has had some difficulty executing in so he's looking for another term to try and complete that now the concern from this president is that there has been an unchecked border for decades in the united states that has allowed millions to enter and now live illegal or without documentation this is something that he promised to crack down on and while there have been significant reductions in the illegal border crossings certainly the problem is far from resolved so you're right this is something that the president is putting out into the forefront making a top priority it really is essentially what we're seeing here a blueprint for the president's 2nd term should he win reelection ok. thank you very much indeed for us our white house correspondent joining us there live from washington d.c. . campaign to win the white house goes up another gear on choose the voters in the battleground state of new hampshire will cast a ballot in the 1st primary election the state's often shows the level of supports presidential contenders have and the results can build or lose momentum individual independent voters are important in new hampshire because they far outweigh republicans and democrats and unlike will states independents can cast votes in either primary and when it comes to the general election democrats have won the states in 6 of the past 7 presidential vote split 2016 hillary clinton barely won by just 0.4 percent a poll suggests that one of the biggest issues is combating climate change but his own desire is practical hail reports from the town of some which that wants necessarily impact the votes. new hampshire is all about the outdoors in every season most will tell you it's why they live here but everywhere you look you see signs it's not like it used to be when i started studying climate change into martha carlson is a sugar maker one of the hundreds responsible for creating new hampshire's iconic maple syrup about a decade ago she noticed her trees were changing the syrup was getting darker so she went back to school and got her doctorate to understand what was happening in the short answer climate change as it's less sweet than it was a century ago a century ago the average sap for material would be 3 percent or even 3 and a half percent now it's 2 or maybe 1.8 per cent sugar now why is it less sweet is the trees making less sugar because maybe they're too caught up climate change is impacting all aspects of life in new hampshire and this state has an outsized role in determining who gets to be president and they say climate change really matters to them but it doesn't seem to impact their vote after all when he was on the campaign trail donald trump pretty much denied climate change and this state overwhelmingly voted for him in the last primary that is a challenge for catherine corkery of the sierra club i think trying to find solutions to the climate crisis is hard and there is not a lot of. solutions that come to mind quickly that will address it i can explain politics i can just tell you about budgets and carlson though thinks it's changing because the climate undeniably is the sugar producer said they are by and large conservative thinkers they said climate change was a hoax slowly over these last. how long as i meant 10 years or more they've seen the darker syrup and they have seen these odd seasons the seasons are much more variable seen the problem and in a unique position to try and fix it by deciding the people that make the policies getting another chance this tuesday bad call hey al-jazeera sandwich new hampshire . many lebanese women say they'll no longer be silenced by laws they consider to be discriminated they've
