As a biogas in tehran with more on how iran is reacting to the outbreak. The government has been announcing some measures to deal with this virus now we know that all cultural events concerts including Film Screenings have been canceled from tomorrow in the cities of iraq the schools are closed for a week the religious schools in calm where the Health Ministry thinks that this virus started from again closed tomorrow now on state t. V. Theyve been showing videos on how to wear the face masks properly and how people can wash their hands properly but there are 28 cases 10 you cases 8 in the city of 2 here in iran and we have had 5 deaths and now iraq has also suspended flights between the 2 countries iran has closed its land borders between the 2 countries and thats only been only open for a week after they have been closed for 4 months because of the insecurity in the protests that were taking pace in iraq iran doesnt think it was safe for the pilgrims to travel but now again those borders are closed we know that kuwait has suspended flights between the 2 countries now there is concern out on the streets of that ron we saw people Wearing Masks resort people question the governments account and also asking how many people actually affected they dont really trust the government and partly due to when that ukrainian airliner was shut down the government spent 3 days deny again people are suspicious but yes the schools are closed the cemeteries are closed concerts Film Screenings everything has been closed now to stop large numbers of people congregating so the south sudans president salva care has formed a new Coalition Government with the opposition a direct mashal whos been sworn in as Vice President of all rivals will lead the government to in an attempt to end years of conflict which is killed about 400000 people theyre expected to guide the country into elections within the next 3 years have a morgan has more from juba. Lets remember 1st of all that this Transitional Government has been sworn in just under an hour ago has been formed after 9 months of delay so people are looking up to this government to see what kind of change they can bring and weve seen this in the newly sworn in vice for Vice President offered to me to recommend char and the countrys president salva kiir holding several meetings over the past 2 days both saying clearly that there are still a lot of outstanding issues the most prominent being the issues of security arrangements but they said that after the swearing in and after the formation of the Transitional Government and appointment of cabinet ministers and they will tackle those issues so people on the streets and country wide are looking to this government to solve the issue of the economy how could i was facing high inflation as a result of the years of conflict in the country theres also the issue of the humanitarian crisis more than half of the countrys really in population are in need of food aid to survive so these are the things or rather the challenges that this Transitional Government will have to tackle in the coming 3 years before they go on to elections the number one guarantee has to be basically the goodwill of the 2 sides but if youre looking at what kind of pressure this Transitional Government has just been sworn in will have to be spending to make sure that they implement the deal that has been coming to 18 then we can look at what happened over the past 2 weeks that led to this government being formed on the 22nd of february which was the final deadline that was had by the working parties youve seen the u. S. Imposing sanctions weve seen the e. U. Imposing sanctions law so harsh words and language coming from regional and International Partners saying that its no Transitional Government is formed if the peace is not abided by if the details of the agreement that has been signed is not implemented then there will be no support for this government so most of the pressure that will force the were inside which are now effectively partners in government to implement the deal comes from what has happened over the past few weeks and there are concerns that if any part of the deal is not. Implemented on time were there any kind of delays a 15 basically does not follow his part of the agreement then. Basically implement more sanctions and that is something none of the more and 5 are the opposition 5 i want to see happening in the coming year and still ahead on aljazeera closed the president s expected to expand his familys 53 year long rep on power.

Hello again has been a lot of snow in turkey in the last 36 hours or so and the same system which you can see is natural clouds moving eastwards is tail end of course tends to produce the optically pleasant weather in the hard ground in Northern Syria and Northern Iraq and it follows on with showers jimi speaking of the levant the heading more free gypped than they are further east to be honest the cloud is clearing through and things are that you could argue improving 16 rocca and 27 in baghdad theres no significant wind further south so its warming up in the Arabian Peninsula as well and throughout iran but when you see a line of cloud like they always think are asking to develop into showers and this one does as well say the Golden Society and iraq there are showers as there are in western iraq this is all monday again society is to war with a southerly breeze which tends to be a fairly dusty one and in contrast to that where you know its happening in the east and its so this way for the satellite picture forecasts its a northerly breeze its not very warm in Eastern Libya north me just not compared with the average and that breeze is quite strong as to how much snow as it turns in science is this hour into the sahara so the countries from chad west which was quite strong breeze tend to see dusty weather at this time of the year dusty and dry throughout most of north africa.
