happy scrappy campaign while senator amy klobuchar shah surges to 3rd place in the democratic race emerging as a new centrist contender also this hour a cruise ship quarantined at a japanese court reports the knowledge just crossed of coronavirus cases outside china will be speaking to one of the passengers on board. coming up in sports the n.b.a. is number one pick zon williamson gets his highest score yet on a long delayed start to his debut season. thank you very much for joining us we start this news hour in turkey where president. has worn the syrian government against further provocations and says he will strike syrian forces anywhere if another attack is soldiers in italy province 15 turkish soldiers were killed by syrian government forces in recent fighting are due on says syrian forces must be pushed back beyond turkish observation polls by the end of february. really hard to know where the these attacks are directly targeting our soldiers and directly targeting turkey there is no more time for talk we have to look at the realities on the field and by the end of february the regime must be pushed behind observation point whatever is needed on the ground when we are not going to have any hesitation and we are going to act on it. now in a moment we'll get the latest on the fighting in syria deadly province with c.n.n. who is in 1st to hashem had any some bore hashim we heard some strong words there from president to want a very tough message is he likely though to follow through with this threat of more military involvement in syria. well follow this is what he's doing here is stepping up the pressure on the russians and the syrian government to pull out from the areas recently controlled by the syrian government and he's saying that turkey will take all necessary measures it will even contemplate harsh reaction to the syrian government if its offensive continues over or if turkish soldiers were targeted in the near future 13 turkish soldiers were killed over the last few weeks in lip but at the same time has given one last chance for you to produce this explains why the turkish foreign affairs is saying that the turkish delegation is flying to russia to talk with russian officials about implementing the sochi agreement and the center agreement that talk about the need to maintain safe zones in italy now the problem that all the parties will face in the near future folly. is that turkey has been established in some 12 military outposts in 2018 but the reality on the ground has been changing to the point where some of those outposts were completely under siege by syrian government forces part of the agreement would be is for the syrian government to pull over for all those areas pull out from all the areas it's cup shows over the last few hours will syria agreed to put out from those areas is russia going to put more pressure on the syrian government to halt its offensive and its think of those questions will determine the scope the size of the say of the turkish military intervention or reaction to opposite it live in the coming weeks hashem thank you very much for that live in istanbul let's cross to sin and cos it will now zain. inside syria c.n.n. president are the ones saying that syrian government forces will have until the end of february to withdraw from turkey shops evasion posts what is currently the situation on the ground and any indication that syrian forces might be indeed turning around. well foley about the time that president are down was delivering his speech earlier today there were still bombs there were still rockets falling over these civilians inside live right after a completed his speech at this 4 civilians were killed and some injured during an airstrike in the village of covered a number in the western side of the countryside developer so at the spite of the climatic talks the fighting still continues the syrian government forces continue bombarding the areas and there are clashes between the syrian opposition fighters and the syrian government forces turkey continues its syrian force minster the military observation posts and as so that as the syrian government forces so on the ground 2 things are still the same things are very tense and a humanitarian tragedy continues so given the latest developments and despite given that despite the course for a cease fire that the syrian government had also agreed before they didn't abide with it it's seems to continue so what is going to be discussed on diplomatic table yes it is going to be. it is going to be telling us what's going to happen on the ground but it seems the syrian government forces or the decatur it's devoted to get control of all there right now i'm in a bubble how very close to the turkish border and just 17 kilometers beyond this to disarm there are rockets falling and we can hear it clearly here so. no one and no one has any idea with whether the syrian government will stop these this violence or these attacks. to its own citizens but i have to add that the tragedy is still going in even the verse we are hearing that people had to leave their homes. just a couple of hours ago on foot because there there aren't enough because nothing is enough here foley basically this is the situation for the hook for the people for the civilians and the tents are not enough there is not enough bread there is not enough clean water there is not enough medicine there aren't enough vehicles so it is getting more and more difficult every day more people are being displaced from their homes their houses and moving towards the borders so. given the situation people are hopeless and inside. in the camps even inside the city center it is not only a military conflict between the syrian government forces and the opposition but also psychological war that is affecting most of the children the women and elderly people an uncertain situation indeed in a tense one as well a cynical subaru in baba how are inside syria thank you very much for that. in other world news u.s. senator bernie sanders has now really beaten peacefully to judging the new hampshire democratic primary showing the divisions between the leftists and centrists wings of the party in the race to choose a nominee against donald trump in november adding to the uncertain nature of the race amy club was shot to 3rd place after a strong debate performance last week while once favorite joe biden slumps to 5th has more from manchester new hampshire oh he was expected to win and he did was the iowa campaign is just about being trolled it is about transforming this country the was the it is about how the the courage to take on wall street the assurance coffee's the drug companies the fossil fuel industry the military industrial complex of the not far behind former marriage softened indiana people to judge a relative newcomer so many of you decided that a middle class mayor and a veteran from the industrial midwest was the right choice to take on this president not in spite of that experience but because these were not the expected frontrunners but with former vice president joe biden and senator elizabeth warren faltering new faces came to the front voters said that was a big reason so many were undecided up until the last minute some of the front runners i'm not sure i think their ideas are good but i'm not sure they have the right guy and they have the right ideas so i think that's why people are now leaning this way and kind of at this last minute like this is a strong possibility and he was he coming in 3rd another unexpected candidate moves to the front of the pack. minnesota senator a.v. club which. i may be and i will be donald trump. new hampshire is important for momentum attention and money raised clear tonight from the numbers that we are not going to win this race 2 of the lesser known candidates quit after this vote but all the top contenders said they were staying in you know remember and we're just. still have 98 percent of our delegate for our nomination up for grabs and americans in every part of the country are going to make their voices heard in exit polls democratic voters made clear their number one priority is finding someone who can be trouble but they're split on the best way to do that from the far left or the center leaving new hampshire it's still not clear which camp will win in the end pedicle who else is there a manchester new hampshire. for some more analysis on the new hampshire primaries that speak to joseph or who is an associate professor of political science at texas a and m. university here in qatar thank you so much for coming in so a big night for bernie sanders though which judge is not far behind him. it's not really a surprise that bernie won new hampshire his from vermont he won in 2016 but what does this result mean for the rest of the democratic race well the what does it say about what voters want new hampshire is a very tough political contest it's an open primary it's a state where voters have high expectations for being able to see candidates and put them under a lot of scrutiny to win their you have to appeal to people particularly when your party doesn't hold the white house are willing to cross over and vote in primaries that they wouldn't vote in so bernie winning there shows that he can compete in a tough state compete in a crowded field and still come out on top so it's a real sort of nod to his overall it toral i was going to ask you what does it say about what voters are looking for precisely right now well i think democratic primary voters have to. things on their mind of course they want to nominate someone who'll be as competitive as possible with president trump so they're weighing the different personalities and the different platforms of the candidates but they also have preferences of their own and sort of conditional on being able to be donald trump want to choose someone as close to their own ideals as possible . was the big surprise of the night i think i mean she stood out from the pack and she's looking and sounding more like a contender what's changed for her i think i think. some reasons why she maybe wasn't getting the attention at the beginning was a crowded field elizabeth warren bernie sanders have been prominent national politicians for some time people would edges sort of has an interesting narrative but she also sort of closure also has a traditional background for a presidential candidate and as these other contenders have come under scrutiny and falter to some extent she was there waiting for her time in the spotlight and is taking advantage of the opportunity that she has to impress voters another big surprise was joe biden in 5th place despite his experience and his fame what do you think is going on with biden here it's hard to say. there's a lot of warm feelings towards joe biden from his service as vice president but you know my gut feeling is that democratic voters are looking at him and not seeing the person who can be competitive with with president trump this was the 2nd stage of course in the democratic race right to decide who will run against donald trump in november. there are some big votes primaries coming up including south carolina and nevada yes and i guess they're all eyes will be on the demographics because who will have more minority voters mol african-american voters and a lot of people are saying this is way joe biden needs to make a difference has been popular among african-american voters if he doesn't make it through south carolina will that be enflamed you think it will be certainly very difficult for him to proceed right the iowa and new. i'm sure are relatively white states even among the democratic primary electorate relatively wealthy states to move on to south carolina nevada which are much more diverse and sort of reflect the overall constituency of the democratic party across the nation a little bit more being able to make a strong showing there and demonstrate that you can marshal those political forces to get behind you is a really important test of strength for a candidate so whoever wins in those states assuming it's the same person or someone who makes a strong showing there will have a lot of momentum moving forward and so it's pivotal to everyone who is in the top tier or hopes to be in the top 2 all right so where does this leave the race for the white house not just if is it too early to tell at this stage who's going to it's still very hard to tell senator sanders is an unconventional candidate he has until very recently refused to affiliate with the democratic party properly has always maintained his independence so seeking their nomination is unusual it's still a crowded field. mayor bloomberg from new york is jumping in and spending hundreds of millions of dollars so there are more questions than answers but certainly things will be clarified over the next few weeks perhaps after 2 super tuesday for sure thank you so much as it were for talking to us about this just aura is from texas a and m. university joining us here on the. thank you for your time thank you. now plenty more ahead on this news hour including an appeal to the young people of cameroon from the president to stop the fight for independence costs big wave surfer alex patel is in hospital in portugal after an accident at one of the world's most dangerous events details in sports coming up meet. the. first another $39.00 people on board a cruise ship docked in japan have been infected with corona virus bringing the total to $175.00 the japanese health ministry says a new cases include a korean teen officer with more than 3700 people on the cruise ship it's become the whole to become host to the highest concentration of cases outside of china where the virus originated a diamond princess had been under quarantine since february 3rd after a passenger who got off the ship was diagnosed with a virus while joining us now is matthew smith who is one of the passengers who doesn't have the virus but is under quarantine on this ship he's on the phone from yokohama thank you so much matthew for speaking to us under these circumstances 1st of all 'd what sort of information have you been getting from japanese authorities about your plight. we get the news about the authorities from a captain who makes several public announcements every day so for instance this morning she announced that what was understood 3 time was 38 new cases had been. diagnosed and most people would be evacuated from the ship he came on later this evening and corrected that to the certain are in. to the extent there is anything he knew he learns from the facials health officials he he does provide that to us you know 39 new cases matthew what's the mindset of people on board the ship people stress they tend what's it like right now you know it's it's really hard to measure an overall. mindset for the passengers as a whole i and in fact the only information i really get about what other passengers are thinking is what i see on social media that they're sharing or in the news that they've reported to journalists because we're. fine to our cabin we're not among the groups that are allowed out onto the deck because we have our own balcony and can get. fresh air and and light there and we don't associate it we don't go out and talk to the other people on the balconies because we just want to maintain the isolation right that makes the quarantine effective right so we don't have any chance to talk to anyone else about how they're feeling and so i'm not it's strange because here's this ship of 3700 people but it's almost like 30 feet you know 1500 cabins of individual isolation from our perspective do you know if everyone on the ship has been tested for the virus. i know that they haven't min when we return to yokohama initially last week the japanese health officials did come on board and take everyone's temperatures and based on that and and self reporting of symptoms they identified the initial batch of people who then got the actual test for the virus and since then they've been testing people who come down to the medical center complaining of of the symptoms but the only ongoing monitoring of everyone else is that we've been provided with her mom and others and asked to take our temperatures and then if you identify it gives me a high temperature your your supposed to go down to the medical center so i don't i haven't wrists heard a figure from the captain about exactly how many people have been tested but it's a very small portion of the rightful passenger count matthew you know more people quarantined on the ship are getting think are you worried that the more time passes and the more you are at risk of being infected do you think the quarantine. i personally do believe it's working and i'm i'm confident that this time of the cases we're seeing are people who. either there well people who. were infected with the virus before the quarantine because now it's like them an incubation period that could be easily be you know back to an acquisition of the virus before we were isolated and everything i see from again we're in the cabin 24 hours a day and our only interaction is with the crew several times a day for food and other items and the crew escape is carefully get around in and mask and gloves so i don't have any reason to sink at this point that there are additional infections occurring now under our circumstances thank you so much matthew for speaking to us matthew smith is a passenger onboard the diamond princess cruise ship which is docked off the coast souls japan where their passengers quarantined because of fear of the coronavirus thank you again matthew for your time i mean while in beijing the

primary but the field is still wide open as more states prepared to choose the democrat who ran against donald trump in november and another 39 people onboard a cruise ship docked in. japan have been infected with corona virus bringing the total to $175.00 the diamond princess is host of the largest concentration of cases outside of china. a company that sold encryption devices to more than $100.00 countries for decades was secretly owned by u.s. intelligence according to the washington post the cia bought swiss firm crypto eiji at the height of the cold war it sold cold generating machines and software to diplomats military heads and product companies the cia then rigs the devices to spy on clients with help from german intelligence this allowed its agents to listen on communications that use crypto agee's devices the clients included saudi arabia iran and the vatican before the company was dissolved in 2018 or for more on this let's speak to robert pre-charge who was the director of the cyber security expert a firm that advises institutions across europe he also used to work for the british government on cyber security related issues is via skype from chamonix in france thank you so much for being with us robert now this is making its cry by some as one of the greatest intelligence operations in the last few decades how unusual is this type of intelligence gathering 1st of all. i don't understand how to say because. these kind of operations never comes to light but it certainly extremely successful and i'm sure once extremely valuable warrant was running so. very impressive operation are you surprised at the keep the secret was kept for so long. i think not believe because it started during the days of the cold war and it seems that the old late today in particular the secret operations have become much harder to keep secrets in nature in the cold war discipline was that's a bit stronger and it predated the days of into the internet and wiki leaks and things like that. so you are not not surprised today that an operation like baseball's was 'd kept secret for so long because not that many people actually knew about it say outside of the media touches community so what more than do we know about this was. how important was it to the global security market at the time and do you think this is something the swiss government were known for its neutrality would have known about. so i think it would be they were quite bored yes and let the history is the history behind the company which are very good which it great detail is quite interesting that the founder had the story call. introspect capability to develop cryptography devices and he fled to the u.s. special the during the 2nd world war. they became extremely significant not least because they would get excited to get assistance from the cia but they were very important cryptographic hardware manufacturers and as to whether the space knew about it i'm not actually sure if the. if the article makes actually or not or if it's known but you know i don't i don't honestly don't know it wouldn't surprise me if they did and i suspect their company not operating under swiss terje would have been subject to scrutiny anyway by local intelligence because they would be very interested in the countries they were supplying the equipment or even those fits and is neutral obviously it doesn't mean it doesn't necessarily take in less than objectivity when necessary so i'm sure there's risk but if an intern clients included a number of foreign governments including iran nuclear rivals india and pakistan and even the vatican what i find surprising is that so many of these countries would be willing to open up their systems to one single company how do you think they were able to convince so many countries to go with them. honestly i mean i'm guessing that probably much of that was done by the sounds the sounds will split the company itself so i'm guessing they just had good sales people in there probably wasn't much competition at the time because you know they have a good pedigree the products every use had a good pedigree and you know many decades by the time of the cold war in this market sector and also i guess at the factory it was a swiss kind of company respects and being neutral as you've already sent and brought it some some cretins i thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us on the pitch director of the cyber security expert joining us there from chamonix thank you for your time thank you. 04 prosecutors investigating a close ally of president donald trump have quit the case after the u.s. justice department overrule them to reduce his prison sentence roger stone was convicted of lying to the u.s. congress obstruction and witness tampering gambit elizondo has more from washington . roger stone is flamboyant a provocative ruler and the man who shaped donald trump's political image and encouraged him to run for president he's also been a close personal friend of the president for decades so when federal prosecutors from the justice department recommended stone serve 7 to 9 years in prison trump took the unusual step of intervening in the case i think it's a disgrace stone was caught up in special counsel robert muller's investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election a grand jury indicted stone on 7 counts including witness tampering and lying to investigators prosecutors also accused him of threatening witnesses stone was found guilty last year and is awaiting sentencing on tuesday trump tweeted the sentencing recommendation of 79 years was a miscarriage of justice later in the day the justice department revised its recommendation percent its ink prompting criticism that the president was abusing his powers no i have not been involved with him at all by tuesday evening all 4 federal prosecutors here at the justice department that were working the case have reportedly stepped down in protest and the top democrat in the senate is accusing the president of acting inappropriately roger stone should get the full amount of time the prosecutors recommend it all comes less than a week after the president was acquitted by the senate and charges of obstruction of congress and if use of power some critics now feel the president feels emboldened by the acquittal so he's basically saying he will wield the instruments of power. to favor his political friends and punish his political enemies trump voters likely won't see this as the president doing anything wrong however democrats in congress might see otherwise and argue it's another example of the president getting involved in something he shouldn't give rules on to. washington now a recent report by the world wildlife fund says spreads to nature can lead to economic losses it's urging countries to take action against the harmful effects of climate change natural disasters that lead to coastal erosion and a decline in wildlife can end up costing hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 80 is the study says these risk could be escalated by an increase in the use of fossil fuels or if it is an expansion in agriculture and urban development it goes on to say the u.k. could be one of the worst states countries after the u.s. and japan joining us now is karen ellis was the director of sustainable economy at the world wildlife fund in the u.k. she is in london thank you so much for being with us quite an alarming report how were you able 1st of all to assess the impact of the environmental crisis on the global economy i understand that this was a new method of analysis. that's right we're in a climate of nature emergency we're destroying nature incredibly fast globally we're destroying the area of a size of a football pitch of forest every 2 seconds so what we wanted to do with this report was to look at the economic costs of that destruction so we used for the 1st time as you say a new methodology that combines analysis of how nature delivers benefits to the economy where the global economic trade model looks at how economies sell goods to each other to look at how those nature losses will affect different countries in the world and it showed that overall we stand to lose at least 10 trillion dollars of global g.d.p. by 2050 to tell us a bit more about the countries in the regions whose economies stand to be worst affected it's not just countries who have large number of citizens living in poverty is it. it's not just know most countries will be affected significantly so the the hardest hit countries in terms of percent of g.d.p. are of the poorest countries so a country like madagascar for example stands to lose 4 percent of g.d.p. per year by 2050 which is massive for for a country like madagascar would probably wipe out their growth prospects so the poorest countries are the hardest hit but. the west japan and the u.k. of the top 3 countries to be hit and for them the risks are more related to coast on ability increased coast of on ability as a result of sea level rise but also as we've destroyed some of the natural capital things like sea grasses and mangroves and coral reefs that protect the coasts from storm surges and flooding so as a result of this nature loss they stand to lose a huge amount going forward so how then can this disastrous outcome be averted and what concrete steps should governments be taking. here can you hear me. karen ellis can you hear me. i think ok we've lost our connection to karen alistair of the u.s. in the u.k. thank you anyway for speaking to us of obvious macumba is set to find out shortly whether the european union will scrap its preferential trade agreement under the deal it can export most goods to europe tax free but concern about workers' wide send democracy is putting that at risk when hearing for some numpad. it's closing time after another long tough day in a factory making clothes and shoes for some of the world's biggest brands cambodia's garment industry employs around 800000 people and is the driving force behind its economy but their jobs are under threat because of a decision by the european union which is cambodia's biggest customer that could make it 12 percent more expensive to send products their workers say they haven't been warned about the announcement but the prospect of factories closing all reducing their hours is worrying. it would affect me a lot because i need all that money to spend on my family especially for daily expenses like food my small daughter needs milk so if this factory closes it won't be easy to find not a job a year ago the e.u. signalled that it would end cambodia's preferential trade arrangement that allows most goods to be sent to europe tax free the announcement came after the government launched a crackdown on dissent banning the main opposition party and charging its leader with treason among the demands from the e.u. is that the case against can be dropped and it wants better protection and rights for workers in factories according to leaked documents from the european commission in parliament likely to walk for a partial withdrawal of the agreement rather than a complete cancellation with one of the main concerns being job losses and communities like this in the e.u. may also be trying to limit geopolitical space for china which is becoming increasingly assertive in southeast asia according to a cambodian government official chinese president xi jinping urged cambodia's prime minister hun sin not to bow to european demands when they met in beijing last week but china would also lose if the trade agreement is cancelled most of the investor from china. can import all the roman fear from china it seems certain the e.u. will want to follow through and punish the cambodian government to some extent when the final announcement is made any changes to the tariff free trade deal would come into force in 6 months which could have a big impact on hundreds of thousands of cambodian workers wayne hay al jazeera phnom penh. levanon spawn amende has voted for a new cabinet and

catholic church in the coming hours last year bishops in the amazon region voted to relax a celibacy rule dating thousands of years to address a shortage of priests in america at its illusory and human resource not everyone thinks it will work. latin america is home to the largest number of roman catholics. is dwindling as dramatically as the churches influence revelations of widespread clerical sex abuses are greatly to blame but they're not the only reason. they had greasewood get out and former priest luis pena are newlyweds lease took his vows of chastity at age 17 but 10 years ago he fell in love with bad priests they kept the relationship secret but although he loved his pastoral work he says he couldn't keep living a double life so he left the priesthood last year. if i could have been married and remain the priest 'd i would have been overjoyed but it wasn't possible i wish that would change because i believe it's completely compatible to devote oneself to a family and also to pastoral work release it only excellent this is louise was an excellent priest he was very close to everyone young and old the parish loved him so it was hard. now the catholic church is rigid disappeared the norm that demand celibacy from priests could be changed or dietz loosened starting in the amazon which is shared by 9 south american countries during the panel and the song synod of bishops last october there was consensus that it happened to desperately needs more priests not only for the sake of souls but also to save the amazon rain forest from deforestation which has been one of the pope's she focuses and in order to get more priests it was argued that it might be necessary to end the prohibition on marriage. the idea is being resisted by the vatican's most orthodox wing with the blessing of former pope benedict a controversial new book by cardinal robert sarah argues that lifting the celibacy law would strongly damage the catholic church the world's oldest institution but others insist that enforcing the celibacy law is discouraging priests from joining and damaging the reputation of those who've already taken their vows one of them is father. day who believes that making an exception to the amazon region is not the answer even if. i don't think this reform should apply to one specific case whether there should be a profound study carried out about the celibacy requests it and the decision that results from it should apply to be entire catholic church not just a segment of it. still the vatican has defended celibacy for more than a 1000 years and given its historic a version to reforms abolishing it could take a long time to see in human al-jazeera santiago. more problems for the usa bowing the company failed to take a single order for new
