A number of doctors and nurses have been putting messages on social media complaining about the fact that they dont have adequate protective clothing so i think its fair to assume that those who have become infected those who have died have so because they havent had the correct protective gear now chinas government concedes there is a shortage of this protective clothing and of course it underscores just how vulnerable frontline medical workers are in china right now the World Health Organization has got more experts arriving at the epicenter today and over the weekend to supplement the team that arrived there a few days ago the w. H. O. Is also saying and this is i guess a grain of good news that the rate of infections outside of who by province dont appear to be rising as dramatically as they were during the past few weeks when president xi jinping urged transparency in mid january suddenly it was gangbusters with the state controlled media they were all over this story covering all the angles that has now changed because theyre not touching on the negative they are accentuating very much the positive showing pictures of people who have recovered leaving hospital and also in the last 24 hours showing more pictures of soldiers and volunteers arriving in will hand there has been a Mass Mobilization of people and it has in many ways echoes of the maui era this is what president xi jinping has called a peoples war against you know the devils virus well the chinese city of who has been under lockdown for 3 weeks now since it was identified as the source of the outbreak millions have been ordered to stay at home as the government tries to stop the spread of the virus journalists are restricted from traveling there but i was 0 has obtained exclusive pictures from one of the residents whos trapped there katrina you reports from beijing.

Steve sighing is director of the China Institute of diversity of london he joins us now via skype from nottingham in the u. K. Good to have you with us steve to what extent is the Central Government in china using the tried and trusted communist party methods mobilizing people and resources on a massive scale to fight a common enemy right now while youre certainly doing that but we have to be aware that the pirate party is much more one up seizing the retailer and controlling the. Spread of old and the negative news about how the government is in many doing it then with the actual management of the Public Health crisis we see in the composition and all the top medical specialties. By xi jinping or 9 members only one doctor is responsible for Public Health the others are responsible for public and and Public Security so how much credibility should we give to chinas claims that it is being open and honest about the corona virus infection rate and the number of deaths. Well chinee statistics in the p. R. C. Is always somewhat problematic because statistics are required as to who in quotation marks certain people who are the people the party is the only one that can represent the people shows that if sticks are always weak why is to compute a Political Mission and we have to abandon in mind when we look at government statistics coming out from the Chinese Government. The vast number of cases of course are still within china the cases the majority of cases globally are are linked to to china in any case what expose extent is the spread of this virus in the way in which its being tackled uniquely chinese. Well i think we have to make is think should between the spread of the virus beyond china and how the Chinese Government is actually working with the International Community to tackle that and the issue of spread of the virus within china i think they are actually more open and when they are dealing with the spread of the virus ill try from within china we have debate in mind that when 100 was locked down in this city all 1x1w5w have already left what will the new Year Holidays and very High Percentage of them would have gone to the countryside with very little medical support practically no testing kits and where they are and how many are not in my youth factored i dont think are fully retracted in the statistics does this this entire episode have have the potential to change the Chinese Governments obsession with controlling the narrative that you were telling us about earlier will china after coronavirus be a more open or closed society. What you start to be will not be a more open society if any lesson will be drawn by xi jinping and the top leadership in the communist party in the next sentence necessity for damage who cannot control and be able to steal in the radio or even more effectively than they have many studios during this crisis i think they are not happy with the way how things are going and they will do only way they know to do is to tighten up control even more it was good to talk to steve perry thanks steve steve saying that director of the China Institute at university in london a Syrian Government helicopter has been shot down in the northwest of the country state news says that all crew members have been killed its not yet clear who is responsible for shooting the aircraft down but rebels say that they shot it down Government Forces are trying to retake the reigning remaining rebel held areas lets go live now to aljazeera.

Serbia and kosovo signed a deal to restore railway and highway links out to more than 2 decades the agreement brokered by the us was signed at the Munich Security Conference on friday it comes after the 2 agreed in january to launch direct commercial flights so that doesnt recognize kosovos independence and still considers it part of its territory talks to normalize relations between the 2 ended in november 28th. I can say on behalf of the republic of sort of youre in the hall of force or you will feel. Model brother in the future and well be able to stabilize the region and secure the peace for the next decades which is often of more significance for all the inhabitants who are simple homes what were signing today gives another positive message that there will be more peace more stability more development into board jobs exactly what corsa vote serbia and the whole region need and the Munich Security Conference this year features more than 35. 00 World Leaders along with hundreds of politicians diplomats a 3 day summit is one of the worlds top gatherings focused on security and Foreign Policy issues lets take you there live now aljazeera the whole is there for us in munich youve got the wars in yemen and libya tension in the middle east whats top of the agenda. Youre pretty fraught security environment in the world being discussed here adrian its always a very diverse attendance list at the Munich Security Conference making for a very broad agenda no different this year of course youve got everything from attempts to broker peace talks with the taliban in afghanistan to as you say simmering wars in the middle east in libya and in yemen youve got tensions in the European Union nato iran and the United States are both represented at a high level here all the way to Digital SecurityMark Zuckerberg facebooks chief is here as well as is indeed my guest elizabeth broad shes a Senior Research fellow at the Royal United ServicesInstitute Thanks for joining us elizabeth thanks for having one of the big issues of anxiety particular to western leaders here is this idea a phrase a term coined here is a theme of this converse of west listen its the idea that the west is sort of lost its collective sense of values its common purpose as a bedrock of International Security hows that being manifested here in discussions where there is a lot of in science yes you said and even being able to coin a word like restlessness how often is anybody able to do that but actually i think that the real problem is the United StatesEuropean Countries feel i think pretty sure of their role in the world but where does the United States fit in and thats that the great anxiety here and if you look at the large u. S. Delegation thats here and essentially a whole planeload full of representatives from congress and the government in the think Tank Community but the man himself is not here and he is obviously the one who caused the shots and who has caused a lot of this west lessness not jimeno him but he has been fitted to it and of course the push back effect of the west dismisses new alliances forming russia which china the e. U. Trying to figure out whether it needs to be friends with russia or whether it will eventually be allowed back into the arms of the United States its all been thrown up in the years and it thats right come. Bleakly new alliances and unpredictable alliances because wherever the west retreat or wherever the west even expresses the hosts that they might want to be involved might want to remain involved wherever that happens another country usually russia china pops out of business where were happy to help and those countries dont really have a choice but to accept whichever country comes along and offers to help iran and the us here at a high level not all trump level of course but the 1st time at this level that theyve been in the same venue since the killing of course im sort of money at the end of last year any sign hint of backroom discussions between them. Well at a conference like this the main point is not what they risk being said in the Conference Hall thats being beamed out all over the world it is what is being said in the backrooms so it is highly likely that that there are talks going on obviously not at the. State level of head of states but still between officials and thats a positive step even if nothing comes out of it this time because we have to remember with International Crises like these its important just to keep the dialogue going it sounds very very. Imprecise but its that dire if it doesnt happen it means that when there is a huge crisis even bigger than the one we have now the countries dont have a way of talking to each other so even if its just to work and never official level at least its good that that that the dialogue is kept going for those of us who have to live with it thanks very much elizabeth exploding that its not just whats on the agenda the battersea but the fact that people are actually able to meet very often behind closed doors but you are serious you know the whole reporting live from munich but he thinks deja. In a rare rebuke of donald trump u. S. Attorney general william has criticized the president s use of twitter a series of tweets by trump called for a reduced prison sentence for his close ally roger stone stone is trumps former Campaign Advisor whos been convicted of lying to congress witness tampering and obstruction of justice all 4 federal prosecutors quit on tuesday after the Justice Department said that it would reduce their recommended sentence of up to 9 is to have public statements and tweets made about the department about. People in the department our men and women hear about cases pending in the department and about judges before whom we have cases. Make it impossible for me to do my job and to assure the courts and the prosecutors in the in the department that were doing our work with integrity and White House Correspondent kimberly how the boss unusual critique of trump has raised many questions. Its enormously surprising its very rare public criticism from one of the president s biggest defenders and so thats what makes it so on usual because donald trump is a president that while he doesnt offer it he demands loyalty weve seen others in his cabinet who have sort of broken ranks eventually quietly being dismissed sometimes not so quietly the former attorney general Jeff Sessions also the former chief of staff john kelly so theres a lot of speculation in washington right now about why william barr might be doing this is it to protect his own reputation were simply left to speculate but there is some thinking that perhaps this was coordinated and calculated given the fact that william barr has seen the departure of 4 attorneys from the department of justice that he oversees as a result of that stone case and whether or not theres concern that more attorneys might leave and what that could do to the integrity of the department so there certainly is some concern but were also watching very carefully to see what donald trump says in return because he often will still about these types of things for days and then lash out we do know that the president is scheduled to leave the white house later on this afternoon here in washington he does have the opportunity to speak to cameras whether or not hell choose to respond to his attorney general publicly is still unclear because you know from arena show whos a republican strategist and consultant joining us now live from washington d. C. Good to have you with the writ what do you think what do you make of the attorney generals comments. Well i certainly like everybody else and feel that this is such an unusual situation but that its got to be masquerading Something Else what we know right now is that attorney general bill bars words that are expressing frustration hes frustrated that the president kind of wont keep his mouth shut but whats really tally is what barb will say and i think you know where we are right now is a moment in rage and we have to be skeptical the president has just survived being removed by the u. S. Senate hes acquitted for all intensive purposes hes feeling rather emboldened and he takes to twitter when hes feeling confident strong and wants to get his point across so what we learned from his tweets is that he is going to operate how he always did as a private citizen and and as a candidate as somebody whos turned it into the white house and of course somebody who is now approaching reelection he wants to use his bully pulpit to show that he doesnt believe hes a he doesnt believe that the law is something that touches him he does believe that there are and i think there are these very general sense in terms of get me to say you know mr president are required to these comments then suggest that all is not well in the relationship between the president and his to the general. No i certainly dont think that we should jump to that right away to eventually wisdom would have led us to believe that in previous administrations where certainly what was being reported out from an agency and from the white house would be quite telling and its specially in terms of our brand but this attorney general loves the president he has always loved the president and hes been his biggest offender so i think whats happened here is that these are frankly just a bunch of words it smoke and mirrors to cover up what will essentially continue to be a cover up and surely john the global are continuing to do the president spinning from the coast of the department of justice will live to the generals coas at least it gives the president pause for thought is it likely to change his behavior in a way no i dont think the president will change behavior in the long term i think in the short term you might hear him perhaps to pause be a little bit more careful and krauts things but the long term implications are not here weve seen that the president really wont stop at anything this is a 6 associate thats been indicted in from the special counsel russia investigation that i think scares the president and the more he scared the more he takes to you public twitter comments anything that he can say to make sure that the American Public thinks hes clean and i think the president believes that when he he speaks directly to the American Public the American Public will believe him and so he will continue down this path he will continue to use a coward of the bully pulpit to say theres nothing to see here nothing associate them i have done wrong and essentially congressional may say theres need to spam break and be quiet particularly down the suit sooner or later hes going to make a false move the president on them talking about him in his behavior is going to get him into trouble is that particularly on social media. You know i think the fact that he survived being removed by the u. S. Senate and you know look there were even republican senators who said this was wrong it even venture to say there was a crime here people like Lisa Murkowski the senator from alaska said that she felt that there was so much wrong with the process that she couldnt bring herself to indict the president people are waiting for an inventor and they are waiting to see what the American Public thinks of this present behavior in the meantime i think the president is not afraid of anyones wrath certainly not that of the u. S. Congress he continues to say that the democrats were after him in a witch hunt and that impeachment was a great time so he believes his behavior is not wrong and i think well continue to see him act in the manner in which he wants to because he does not find it inappropriate good still to read about it thanks for being with us many thanks again for having me. Well get a weather update next here on the day is out then journalists take to the streets in the philippines to protest against government plans to shut down the countrys largest t. V. Network. Record setting temperatures in antarctica as the military rises to more than 20 degrees celsius. And small the n. B. A.

R. Congo blue orange top thunderstorms are the big ones to the south of that still a few in south africa but again not many. If you were looking at this from the outside you would really wonder what was going on but what is this race is a religion that they have an indepth exploration of global capitalism and our obsession with economic drugs this is still the center of capitalism there is no limits i view myself as a capital artist for the trying to pay for the well smaller and smaller we dont want to face that realistic in the world we would rather have a fantasy growing pains on aljazeera thanks love to make loans to some friends because behind the suffering a millions of taxpayers because us taxpayers never go away is a new one born every single day a 19 it is an Urgent National missile city to put it real fishel your quest is rationing of the support mechanism we created together because i happen to live in greece somehow im a sinner im a bad person. Thats machine on aljazeera. Again adrian so to get here in doha with the news out from aljazeera the headlines chinas government is demanding that all people returning to little beijing a quarantine for 14 days to prevent the spread of the corona virus officials have warned that those who refuse will be punished it comes as the number of deaths rises to really 1400 and infections in china to around 64000. Syrian government helicopter has been downed of the countrys northwest state puce says that all crew members have been killed Government Forces trying to retake the countrys last rebel held territory. In a river bucharest attorney general william barr has criticised Donald Trumps use of twitter assaults the us president commented on the sentencing of his close ally russia started earlier this week. Lets return to our top story out the corona Virus Outbreak dr mohammad when there is a viral a just at Lancaster University in the u. K. And says that efforts to lock down the city of war hong have been largely successful but theres still pressure on the chinese authorities to do more. In the majority of the cases those been our own the word they are directly or indirectly associated with the han or the who bay provence and because probably that was the reason that the majority of the efforts were really to contain and to isolate and to lock down the people in that province and since the application of those approaches the what are the number of cases that we see. Are in their own the word start to decline and all those cases that appear afterward were through interactive routes to light from singapore or from other countries where infected people have transmitted the virus so overall it appear that the control of the year that was put in place they started to work and therefore the overall impact is decreasing day by day however as we have seen the number of cases are not declining within china so this also indicates that there is still a pressure on to the to the government authorities to really take a little more cautionary. You know scenario to controlling the infection within within the vulnerable population so there are still a lot to be done to really claim that the older control may year that needed to be put in place or being placed because until we start significant decline in the number of cases we cant really say that all those are really up to the mark in cambodia it was all smiles this past just to some box from a cruise ship that had been turned away by 4 asian governments to the fears of the virus no confirmed cases among the more than 2000 people on board the westerdam zeros way hey reports now from civil ports where the ship and stopped. There was celebration and relief as passengers finally received would they were allowed to begin disembarking from the west a dam a ceremonial welcome in cambodia marks the end of a 2 week journey around asia as pulled up to portray rejected the ships request to dock you know the ship was very very safe the crew was fantastic we had a very good time considering the circumstances everything was very nice its nice to be able to get home feels fairly good but my remote say on the ship was fairly well the food was well at the table to us well so we didnt suffer at all and we knew it was no illness at book. Cambodias Prime Minister who flew in for the occasion hes consistently downplayed concerns about coronavirus and did so again on the dock in sihanoukville when other government said no to the ship he said yes and he wasnt about to let this opportunity slip by. People asked if there are people on the ship that have coronavirus would allow them to dock i can respond very clearly that if there are people with the virus on the ship i would allow them to dock as soon as possible but there were no confirmed cases on board blood tests taken from 20 passengers who were unwell when the ship arrived in cambodian waters on thursday tested negative these are among the 1st passengers to disembark and set forth on land for the 1st time in 2 weeks the whole process of getting everybody off the ship is expected to take around 3 days so for many on board the frustrating waits will continue the plight of the westerdam was another blow to the cruise ship industry which is being hit hard by coronavirus its own a carnival is the largest cruise operator in the world and says its share price may tumble this year by more than a half because of cancellations it also learns the diamond princess which is docked in new york a hummer japan with thousands quarantined on board and many confirmed infections among passengers and crew experts say the potential for transmission of the virus on a ship is high so theyre not surprised the industry is suffering so if you are in a confined environment like in a cruise ship or in a train then if you are exposed to like you know within the family or with your next to the cabin of the infected person then you can get infected for those on the wish to damn a bizarre cruise around asia is over ending with a welcome and a farewell in cambodia theyll never forget wayne hey al jazeera send up phil.

Government leaders in mexico are being accused of giving only half hearted support to families of people whove been killed in the Drug Cartel War as a. Report from that a crew was heartbroken families say that theyre forced to rely on volunteers to search for the remains of their relatives buried in secret graves. A search party has assembled on the grounds of a Catholic Church in vera cruz the volunteers of the Family Members of missing persons nationwide more than 60000 people have disappeared since the story of the war on drugs in 2006 most are believed to be the big domes of criminal gangs or corrupt authorities theres no doubt in recent years its become commonplace for the families of the disappeared to participate in organized searches for possible clandestine gravesites. The recent discovery of a human bone fragment in this field means other human remains could be hidden nearby. But yet it is traveled nearly 2000 kilometers from her home in sonora to join the search. Sometimes for a Family Member being given just a small piece of bone can make them feel better because thats their family that fragment could mean some months parents with children can finally have peace. False alarms are not uncommon. But a few volunteers like that have gotten quite good at spotting clues. He says he cant remember exactly how many bodies has helped uncover in that time. And nobody neal the families of the missing that have learned and are now teaching the government how to conduct a search these families dont have forensics training but were the ones finding the bodies this should be an embarrassment to the Mexican Government. There are fishel observers and police keeping watch over the search brigade but its the volunteers digging holes and sifting through the soil that seem to be doing most of the work. One of the most common things that weve heard from members of the search brigade is that its the Mexican Government that should be out here in the heat and the sun searching for Human Remains Found in what is a guy again this is the 5th time a National Brigade has gathered for this kind of search and its the largest one to date. By the end of the day authorities arrived to examine the scene and determine whether or not this site will be counted among the more than 600 clandestine graves discovered in better coups in recent years. Up a little. Bit a cruise. Still to come all the news. Were just a few minutes away from the cash super cup final featuring 2 mizzy is esperance and egypts and some uplink. A record high temperatures been recorded in antarctica for the 2nd time in a week and it exceeded 21 degrees celsius for the 1st time ever thats hasa of madrid is right now in spain or dallas in texas but it is winter the experts warn that night out of 10 glasses in the region have shrunk contributing to rising sea levels temptation is a expert at the Antarctic Research center in new zealand and surprise the results. 2019 was the 2nd warmest year on record and previous record holder was 2017 so were seeing each year be at least as will or even warmer so it doesnt surprise me at all that were seeing january as one of the will miss mansel the will this month on record were already seeing some pretty significant impacts on antarctica we know that the ice sheet is beginning to lose mass that its me means its noting and that no water is contributing to sea to rise and its doing that with an external writing right and we expect that to continue in tactic to mitchell or itself has always been a hot spot its experience more warming than anywhere else on the antarctic and we see big changes they have were seeing new species coming from south america that never have lived in antarctica so its seeing invasions of spaces were seeing loss of habitat loss of sea ice. For opinions. But this is really just a small window into much Greater China now it will ultimately come for antarctica and will relate to significant civil rise at the moment the science predicts that we could get up to a meter of suitable rise by 2100. Time sport history adrian thank you in the next 2 minutes 2 of africas biggest football clubs will face off in the calf super cup but one of the continents top cover much is being held in asia as fronts of tunis it will play egypts. Capital its a showdown between the winners of the African Champions league and the holders of the Confederation Cup this is the 2nd year of a 3 year deal that sees doha hosting the much i keep on. Of course were here for one goal were going to play a great team thats won 2 consecutive continental titles but we have an advantage the huge presence of our fans here in cata have been very welcome and supportive i cant describe how lucky we feel to have them were very excited to play for them. The club has won every title the only one missing for the current team is the african supercuts we prepared for this in tunisia were ready to face the other team and god willing we will take the title. Well this time it is at the county bin jasim stadium in doha ahead of that game for us peta so an african months in asia whats the benefit to cats and african football of having it here. Well joe they are benefits to both sides from an african point of view its an opportunity to expand into a different market this match could just as easily have been held in a place like tuna so cairo the stadiums would have been full anyway but if you look at the example already set by italy and spain where they have taken they supercuts abroad theyve taken it to other venues expanding their markets and the city nothing wrong with expanding the fan base as it were and im not sure if you can hear it but i can certainly hear it in the stadium behind me here it is rocking right now so certainly the fans appear early on anyway to be getting they moneys worth it is a sellout i can tell you and from a couple of points of view well they all the host nation of this as you mentioned the 2nd year of a 3 year deal but instead of letting me tell you the benefits of it why dont we hear from the c. E. O. Of the fee for world cup 2022 year in qatar. For us the main benefit is to begin testing our operational plans testing new teams these are all people that are going to eventually be working at the world cup and its another opportunity for us to showcase its hosting gig capability as all the new facilities that have been built here the 2 teams are training on state of the art brand new training sites and you know theres a lot that needs to be tested whether its Security Operations venue operations transport operations accommodations. Yeah ok to tell us about the pedigree of the 2 teams that are playing tonight. Well joe these are 2 teams that are easily powerhouses of african football if you look at the domestic records for example esperance have won the 2 new Zealand League 29 times that is an incredible number its comparable to the dominance that you see from buy in munich in germany or you ventus in italy for example theyve also won the African Champions league 4 times previously the most recent one as well thats how they qualified for this match and then in terms of theyve won the African Champions league 5 times and theyve won the local league in egypt 12 times they do enjoy a rivalry maybe enjoy isnt the right word the with. Between the 2 of them they pretty much win everything on offer in egypt but these 2 sides differently among the top clubs historically in africa and the fans here in doha certainly in full retreat and they couldnt hope for anything really much better quite frankly yet sounds like its going to be a good one all right peter enjoy a bit later now liberal manager says no decision has been made a Weather Satellite will play for egypt this years olympics in tokyo so i was named in egypts provisional squad but if lupo give him permission to go to japan theyll be without him for the 1st few weeks of the next premier League Season theyve already complained about losing players to the africa cup of nations next january. We cannot discuss it really because we dont know anything about it and we. Are not a lot about it actually but we heard about 2 things they said in the match of.

A. Lakers before his death last month. That roddick you know. He was nice i start i dont know but putting that on.
