Coronavirus precautions are being stepped up as new cases are concerned in other countries china is reporting a shop full in the number of new infections but doctors say its too early to draw any conclusions and a rod a 5th death from quote a virus was reported on saturday with 28 infections some border crossings with iraq have now been closed infected travelers from iran have been reported in canada lebanon and the u.

And concerned in northern italy 30 cases have been reported since the long body region where at least 10 towns are in lockdown and concern is growing in south korea current virus cases there more than doubled overnight to more than 431 south korean government is urgently sending medical support to the south where many of those infected can be traced back to a Church Service from abroad reports from daegu which has been declared a special case on. The streets of daegu eerily quiet fear of the disease means most people here are heeding warnings not to venture out those who do are careful about where they go and whom they meet. For more money as long as were a mask and wash our hands properly we can get through this particularly i hate wearing a mask but now i have to wear it all the time its hard to go out and i avoid cafes business in this normally bustling city of 2 and a half 1000000 has been brought to a virtual standstill on the road to my house i hope tonight i open my shop today just in case there might be some customers but theres been none so ill soon close up and go home nearly half of the infections are linked to a church in this building which is locked up and deserted Church Members have been told to quarantine themselves while medical teams are quickly testing them for the corona virus in daegu in the neighboring county of chung though more Testing Centers have been set up and hospital wards designated to treat the flurry of new cases who can did you know you are no more and im worried its like the whole city is in lockdown and people are afraid of coming here a large number of the new cases have been at a hospital in chango that could be linked to the outbreak here in daegu the infection has spread rapidly among patients and staff prompting the authorities to lock it down. The government says the situation is still manageable and that while new cases are being detected across south korea they seem to be people with links to this part of the country rather than from new clusters and your cultures have a troubled child further investigation is needed and many of the cases confirmed today are links back to the clusters a hopeful sign for south korea as it races to contain the spread but not much comfort for the people in daegu wondering how bad this outbreak will get. Bryde al jazeera daegu south korea the world out of it as asian has warned African Health systems would be ill equipped to deal with a potential outbreak with partner support we have gone from having only 2 countries with Laboratory Testing for covert 19 a few weeks ago to now 26 countries that have been confirmed in the afro region that have the capacities to test for this and we were building on an already established Influenza Laboratory network. Were anticipating that by the end of february or for the 7 Member States of there for a reason will have this capacity ethiopia has stepped up prevention measures as it maintains daily flights to china right now as i mentioned African Union Health Minister is amazing in ethiopia to discuss how to contain a potential corona Virus Outbreak of all reports from.

Ray machine which detects body temperature passengers are also asked to fill the Health Status forms and disclose where they have been during the past 14 days at the time of landing we would check their temperature you think the 3rd time was coming and again we have mass time or scana commuting in their own interest and finally we check again we see vitor most commonly when they look in their bags in between again we have passports tipping which is again strict nowadays the border International Airport in addis ababa is one of the busiest travel hubs in africa resource of the continents main gateway to china while many countries have a distributed air services to china after the corner Virus Outbreak Ethiopian Airlines continues to operate 35 flights a week to 5 chinese destinations the airline has ignored please both form if you open the public and some african countries to suspend its flights to china we base our decision based on the what the heads of sharks tell us the. Cysts ok minister has a few places its ok now when they say that its no more Health Issues so it becomes a business decision and a business decision is that for us it is a long term. Operation and. We have 40 percent market share for travel between africa and china even though no case of infection has been detected in ethiopia until now Novel Coronavirus medically known us cope with 19 is a major concern here 18 suspected cases were tested and found negative 11 of them were sent to south africa while 7 were tested within ethiopia in a new laboratory specially equipped with a purpose with the help of the World Health Organization and Emergency Center has also been set up were dozens of doctors and medical trainees artwork every day of the week collecting data studying ways to confront the virus and this is perhaps one of the most Vital Services set up by the National Institute of Public Health these hotlines manned 24 hour 7 they receive alerts and information related to suspects is cases of coroner virus they also provide information and advice for people in need doctors say they receive a least 5 infection rumors of a less every day one of the tasks of these men is to make sure no Unwanted Panic spreads among the population how much fun are disease are. 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 fire and 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. They have been showing videos on how to wear the face masks properly and how people can wash their hands properly but they are 28 cases 10 new 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 are 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 chris smith is a consultant for all that is stand the naked scientists he says all the outbreak will likely continue to spread Health Authorities do have some control. Well obviously anyone catching an Infectious Disease and catching it in large numbers is concerning but this is kind of what we expected to happen and its kind of mirroring what happened in china because if you remember if you caution my back to the beginning of january there was just a handful of cases in will have which were linked to a Seafood Market and within a month those handful of cases that turned into thousands of people every single day so from very small acorns big oak trees can grow and thats sort of what we expect with the source of outbreaks because you get a small number of people who start the fire burning and then it spreads quite rapidly this is quite Infectious Disease everyone is potentially susceptible to it because its never circulated before so very quickly with an infectious illness that can spread via the air youre going to get big numbers and thats what were seeing theres no way that we can stop this and the reason that i say that is that its with an infectious outbreak in a major center like which has been very closely linked to many other cities by air travel people moving over land etc and then subsequently evidence of spread in other geographies is obvious that this is already spreading outside china weve got an infectious entity so we know this is going to its only going to get bigger so im not surprised by this theres no way were going to be able to completely stop this and put the lid on it because too many people have had it and its gone too far but what we should be putting the emphasis on is the control of the rate at which is brets because that is something we can do something about south sudans president salva care has formed a new Coalition Government with opposition they dont read myself as a sworn in as Vice President the former rivals will lead the government in an attempt to end years of conflict which has killed but 400000. 00 people theyre expected to guard the country to elections within the next 3 years and that morgan has more from to the. 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 the government to see what kind of change they can bring and weve seen this in the newly sworn in Vice President s office in the direct machar and the countrys president holding several meetings over the past few days 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 that 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 called 1000000 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 if youre looking at what kind of pressure. Transitional government has just been for and will have to be spending to make sure that they implement the deal that has been a theme that 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 within the e. U. Imposing sanctions loss of harsh words language coming from regional and International Partners saying that if 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. Implemented on time without any kind of delays a 15. 00 basically does not follow his part of the agreement then the International Committee basically implement impose more sanctions and that is something none of the war and for the opposition i want to see happening in the coming years.

An unusual come in wardak province southwest of the Afghan Capital whats called a reduction in violence agreement between us forces in the taliban is underway for the next week providing a brief pause from attacks by both sides the taliban gave al jazeera permission to visit wardak very moot a meeting with many in our amir have a tall order to us not to clash with anyone in any of the areas that we control we completely about him according to the full meaning of this would the sound of sirens and bullets is common in the capital kabul but so far its been quiet some minor clashes have been reported in parts of the country but not a side has publicly said what would constitute a violation of the agreement. Or charter member member i hope the one week truce will be extended until we reach a final peace in afghanistan.

The raise to decide which democrat will take on u. S. President donald trump and novembers eviction has resumed in nevada that states diverse population could reveal which candidate appeals to voters among minority communities tens of thousands of people participated in early voting suggesting a record voter turnout is expected lets go now to rob reynolds whos in nevada rob given everything that we just mentioned there this is an interesting one to watch tell us who is out in front. Yes extremely interesting race to watch right now Bernie Sanders has by most of the polling in this state a gotten a wide lead his next. Second 2nd place opponent is former Vice President joe biden but that could be shifting. This is the cafeteria here and it like to welcome you kim and our viewers to Sierra Vista High School in the cafeteria home of the mountain lions where people are now setting up for the caucuses which will begin shortly what is a caucus ok instead of a straight primary vote where you just vote for one person in a caucus you rank your preferences 12 and 3 and then if in each individual caucus which consists of a fairly small number of a few dozen people if one candidate doesnt get a sufficient number reach a certain threshold that candidate is declared not viable and then the. Opposing candidates backers try to convince and coax the people who are. Who are supporting the nonviable candidate to join them so theres a lot of sort of wild west horse trading that goes on then there is some fairly complicated math that goes on we the caucus officials insight leaders factor in all of those early voting. Caucus holders caucus attendees voters that you mentioned kim and then they will phone in all of this information to headquarters unlike iowa which as you might recall was a big meltdown in terms of the results theres no app here theres a minimum amount of technology in fact at the last minute the Nevada Democratic party decided that they would just use paper and pencil and phone in. All the results to a central. Headquarters now as we mentioned Bernie Sanders is im hot on top so this is really a battle for 2nd place if joe biden manages to win 2nd place he will have some strong headwinds tailwinds and advantages going into the next contest which is in South Carolina which is joe bidens fire wall if on the other hand Elizabeth Warren manages to edge out biden for 2nd place she might be in a good position to have a strong showing in the super tuesday primary which happens early in march and thats with big states like california texas North Carolina and massachusetts lots of delegates at stake there so this this primary caucus rather here in nevada could set the stage for the next couple of. Contests and its also important to mention as you touched upon that this is a state unlike iowa unlike New Hampshire which are virtually all white states. With an Elderly Population this is a state that looks a lot more like the United States as a whole in fact that the demographic racial makeup here of whites africanamericans latinos. Asian americans and Pacific Islanders is what the United States will look like at mid century in 2050 so this is almost a glimpse into the future of the u. S. Electorate so well be getting results as the day goes on how fast those results come in whether theyll be any. d foods we dont know yet but well keep on top of it for you jim thanks for that thats rob randalls there live from the home of the mountain lions in the vada. Bill schneider is a political analyst and he joins us now live from washington d. C. To talk about nevada a little bit more crystal she will never run it as weve been saying is one of the most diverse states explain to our view is why its important for these contenders and how you think its going to go. Well the nevada is more diverse certainly than i win New Hampshire doesnt have a Huge Population of africanamericans that will come a week from now in South Carolina but it does have a sizeable minority of latino hispanic voters and this is the 1st state the 1st primary well theyll show where they will show up in numbers Bernie Sanders is expected to win here hes fairly popular among latino voters and other voters in nevada hes also a strong trade unionist and there are a lot of Union Members in nevada although the major union did not endorse Bernie Sanders because they did differ with his Health Care Plan so theres still some drama going on there it will be a boost to sanders if he wins the data going into South Carolina where joe biden is expected to win right now the race has come down to 2 candidates sanders and not senators the question is whos the not sanders is it biden is it mayor pete booted ish of south bend indiana is it amy holmes sure there are number of candidates trying to become the alternative to Bernie Sanders which the Party Establishment desperately thinks they need because they dont think sanders can beat donald trump big news in the past 24 hours that sanders was briefed that ross it was apparently trying to help his campaign do you think this news will work for or against him how do you think it will affect things in nevada. I think his supporters basically dont care they just think its soviet its russian interference in the campaign but its pretty clear what the russians are trying to do the russians want to get President Trump reelected and thats what theyre concentrating on theyre not only doing things to help the Truck Campaign theyre helping the Bernie Sanders campaign why because he is widely acknowledged among political insiders to be the candidate who is likely to be weakest against donald trump in other words if sanders becomes the democratic nominee as the russians are trying to promote hell probably lose and thats what the russians want they want trump to remain president abu point so will the democratic nominee field be narrowed down to waiting until signatures that what point will we start seeing people dropping out. Probably not to have to super tuesday which is only 2 weeks away theyre going to try to hold on until then because the do the margin look you have 2 kinds of voters in the Democratic Party very committed liberals who seem to have gathered behind Bernie Sanders not who is a bit worn Bernie Sanders is their guy their candidate and you have moderate democrats joe biden be brutish and maybe probably sharyn some others but there is no consensus about who the alternative to sanders should be you know what happiness in politics is a divided opposition and thats the problem for the anti sanders democrats right now theyre divided among several candidates and they cant seem to settle on one alternative really good to hear your analysis as always thats folks neither political analyst live from washington. Still ahead on aljazeera voting is closed in tokyo where the president is expected to extend his familys 53 year long grip on our. Casualties of conflicts victims tell al jazeera how they were deceived by their attackers and democratic republic of congo.

Hello again has been a lot of snow in turkey in the last 6 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 north in iraq and it follows on with showers jimmies be 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 so for those in saudi and iraq there are showers as there are in western iran this is all monday going to science is to war with a southerly breeze which tends to be a fairly dusty one and in contrast to that where you know whats happening in the east and it so this way for the satellite picture the forecast its a northerly breeze its not very warm in Eastern Libya north major 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.

Also being a cast of franco is an Italian Journalist and she joins us now via skype from venice in one of the affected regions thank you so much for joining us so 12 towns now on the lockdown what are you seeing where you are. Well what were seeing here in venice is people out in the street for carnival but effectively in the town where there has been one dead person invent it the situation is very different and the same goes for the towns that you were mentioning that are in along down many streets are empty as you heard on the other the report before i mean there will be no sunday masses there will be no sunday soccer matches public gatherings demonstrations are just not going to be allowed to be held and the authorities have told the residents as southwest of milan to stay indoors and so were talking at least 50000. 00 residents who are basically staying at home at this stage so we heard there in catherine report that there is a sense of panic a missing reports that face mosques are now sold out can you give me a sense of how people are feeling. Well people are feeling very panicked and in fact i arrived at venice afterwards this afternoon and was handed this in addition to being tested for corona virus this is a pamphlet a leaflet that is being handed out and tells you how to behave it gives you a number to call if you feel like you have symptoms it also tells you that you should be using disposable you know as a precaution disposable kleenexes you should be washing your hands very often and also wearing surgical masks so this leaflet is being handed out in addition people arriving in the van into region are being tested and the actual that the governor of the venator region has even suggested suspending all Carnival Events which of course this is a very big month procon of all events here in venice and there are the governor of long but he has also asked for Counter Measures and is very concerned about the economy and has asked the Prime Minister to deal with this because he feels there may be repercussions on the economy with people not going to work sabina castle thank you thank you for an update from venice. Well the chief executive of europes largest law and riaa is facing a backlash over comments he made about Muslim Travelers Michael Oleary told a british newspaper that he thought muslim men should be profiled ports because quote that is where the threat is coming from the businessman went on to criticize existing security and said that checks for family should be less strict he also referred to obese passengers as months as the comments have been condemned by charities who accuse a larry if using islamophobia and racism to seek publicity the airline chief has since apologized for any offense caused well honey for credit as an advisor and consultant on county extremism terrorism recruitment and dea radicalization and he joins us live now thank you for joining us are you can you just tell me 1st of all what has been the reaction to these comments from across the board a lot of people i mean this guy has obviously come across and he made similar statements in the past about many other minorities with disabilities as well. Some of the people ive been talking to i mean the come on call him an ignorant you know not just more i dont think the far wrong but its very difficult not to take this guy seriously because of the the impact it has on young muslim men and women in society already facing the you know difficult challenges you know moving forward in their life trying to be part of mainstream and this guy comes across and stays up very flippant and very ignorant straight in like this it puts you know paid to the you know schilens in the chances of young men and women trying to make a go thing is in western society at the moment. Michael or larry does seem to revel in his reputation as being controversial hes even said that negative publicity sells more seats than positive publicity so what is the best way to deal with someone like this i mean its like i said its difficult. To ignore this guy ordinarily would like to ignore him because hes a he comes across as very ignorant always and he makes these kind of statements but in this instance its a challenge for young men and women like i said change difficult trick ignore this person because look into society i work with young men and women who already got a lot of grievances about things going on in their lives trying to make way for you know because of a minority people within our community who are causing a lot of problems but the majority people are facing the difficulty so its its hard not to you know ignore this person but i think its important that everybody look we unfortunately have another backlash and we havent had any voices you know positive voices come out of you know our parliament our government or of the you know Senior Leaders in our society one labor m. P. Did denounce it in Parliament Well i didnt i didnt i didnt hear that so yeah i mean but one is not enough we need a lot more people to come out and so voice their concerns over this again you know i understand this person is known for coming out with ridiculous and pathetic statements but in this instance you know if it was for instance another religious minority how would that be perceived while shes attacking muslims lets see how it would look like if it was for instance the Jewish Community would we have the same kind of reaction from from people and from our government i dont think so and weve got there thank you so much for joining us.
