Senator Bernie Sanders is claiming victory in the caucuses the latest stage in the race for the democratic president ial nomination so only a fraction of voting stations have reported results but theyre giving sanders a clear lead over his rivals if confirmed it would cement his status as the front runner to take on President Donald Trump in november. Delighted to bring you pretty good. And that the popular vote in iowa it was we won the New Hampshire primary it was and according to all 3 networks and the a. P. We have the one that at that a caucus way with our shots haasan is a Democratic Political strategist he explains why never as an important indicator of support from minority voters people may have heard about the 1st 2 contests New Hampshire and iowa they make big news because they make big news the importance of the nevada caucus though is that this is a caucus in a population that far more resembles the democratic electorate nevada is a diverse state with latino voters Asian American voters africanamerican voters this is a demographic that New Hampshire and iowa really lacks so this gives us an idea of how the electorate in general are more representative idea of the electorate in general and at least in terms of the democrats themselves South Carolina will be similar theres a large africanamerican population for our National Viewers if it isnt clear racial that the way that candidates interact the different demographic groups and different racial issues is enormously important in our politics particularly in Democratic Politics so this is that 1st contest that really factors that in. The spread of the coronavirus is growing outside of china with italy seeing the worst outbreak in europe its reported at least 79. 00 cases and 2 deaths most of them in the long bartie and then thats a regions the government says it will forcibly lock down affected areas hit the. Zones considered hotspots the entry exit will be authorized without special permission. So iran as 6 deaths from corona virus was reported on saturday with 28 infections infected travelers from the country have been diagnosed in canada lebanon and the United Arab Emirates and china has reported an increase in new infections at the epicenter of the outbreak thats a province they found 630 cases on saturday thats up from 366 the previous day lets bring in rob mcbride who is in chengdu county that is over in south korea robin that is where infections have been traced back to a hospital what can you tell us about that and the latest numbers that youre hearing. Thats right the latest increase thats been released in the past couple of hours or so shows there are another 123 cases it brings the total number of cases there in south korea recorded here to 556 its a similar kind of increase to the same time yesterday saturday so it is still this steady growth weve also had confirmation of 2 more other deaths over that brings to 4 the total number of people who have died as a result of the corona virus now 3 of them were linked to this hospital in county thats where we are 3 of them former patients here we have 2 major clusters in this part of southeast south korea in daegu city nearby and then here in chengdu county they had an outbreak a very serious outbreak of the corona virus its spread through the hospital made more than 100 staff and patients sick tragically a lot of the patients were in a psychiatric ward up here on the 5th floor of this hospital it was a place of confinement it spread very quickly before the hospital realized what they were dealing with when they realized how serious it was they locked down this facility they moved out many of the sicker patients some of the less sick patients were kept in here along with all of the stuff they were basically sealed in basically told to stay on site and this hospital is now being dedicated to being part of the effort to fight this coronavirus extra stuff is being sent here and they are treating patients with the corona virus at this facility and sink a south korea has the largest number of confirmed infections outside of china rob what extra measures are being put in place in the country. They are still looking at basically trying to contain these clusters to this part of the southeast corner of the country and so far they have managed to do that what they obviously theyre concerned about is having other collapsed as a crop up in other parts of the country but all of the cases they are seeing and they are seeing cases throughout south korea now they are still linked back to individuals who are linked back to this area so they do seem to have managed that and they are putting in place the measures that they have been advocating for several days now avoiding large gatherings large crowds what were seeing here are being a sunday is the government is urging that Church Congregations dont hold services across south korea and as weve been driving around here weve been seeing that basically all of the churches in this area at least are closed and of course one half of all of the cases of the coronavirus were in the neighboring city of daegu from one particular congregation of a particular church there in the efforts are still ongoing to trace all of the members of that church to screen them to check that no more people are infected those who are suspected of being infected are told to self quarantine all right robin wright thank you for that update now in hands in hong kong and hes got more on the latest figures from china. The numbers do tend to be trending downward slightly recently despite those latest figures being released on sunday morning from the Health Commission in beijing showing an increase compared with the previous day in the number of new infections in a province so there are some encouraging signs generally but certainly no reason to celebrate yet from the Chinese Governments point of view or the point of view of the World Health Organization they are certainly sounding plenty of notes of caution one encouraging statistic though is the number of ongoing cases in who bay province is declining so these are people who have symptoms of corona virus and are going through a testing procedure or confirmed infections who are being treated so that number is trending downward so again that is encouraging we may get some more clarity on the situation in. In the next day or so there is a team of World Health Organization experts on the ground in the city the now the looking at things like transmit transmissions within hospitals as well so people who were in hospital who had no corona virus infection maybe medical stuff as well who have now contracted the virus we know back in 20022003 during the sars outbreak that that was a big problem in china so things like that that the w. H. O. Expert team will be looking at will no doubt be of great interest not just to the Chinese Government but also governments in other countries who are just beginning to deal with their own outbreaks. Let us speak to pauline lucias the managing director of asia analytical which delivers alternative research on chinas political economy shes joining us from hong kong as well via skype thanks very much for speaking to us on aljazeera if we look at the impact this coronavirus is having on the chinese economy how would you assess it because we heard just earlier today that the i. M. F. Is warning of a downturn in growth and has particularly focused on the chinese economies downturn the impact on china its not just the immediate slowdown. Because she can bounce back from that when the virus is contained the longer term effects on the chinese economy. In high businesses are going to look at china they are saying that if they can go from. No problem no human to human transmission. Transmissions. Right down to virtual lockdown at the end of the month people are going to say well im with you safe in having a supply chain focused on only one country now at this is simply talking about diversification since forever but in good times its too hard shortage new new suppliers its all who are now going to be great to see not to put all of your suppliers apes as it were in one basket right and one is large as this had on the supply chain if you just drill down a little deeper on that particular point because wool han is really a big Manufacturing Center and it has really been impacted by the coronavirus. Thats right south korean come and you fracture couldnt date has essentially stopped production because some crucial parts that they sourced from china had not been available and that was just a couple of weeks into the lockdown so because this is such a globalized world such a connected world that if youre missing. One parts from your production chain it could essentially hold the antia say so this supply chain effect is good to be very important but is still just to the International Level even if its 8 domestic business and you are selling to the domestic markets but if you are some sourcing your supply from why youre really stuck so good to see just after this should i 1st supply the us something i want dont want some in shandong and not put on my action one basket so does still mean to be a big reshuffle in sync even after this virus is all over what about Peoples Trust in the information thats been provided by the Chinese Government i mean is there a sort of a long Lasting Impact here. Citizens confidence in their own government because as you recall the 1st few days of the coronavirus the Chinese Government was accused of mishandling the information that they were putting out so is the credibility of the government on the line here a long term. Problem is that very often. Aging to china there is a lot of local Decision Making so even when on the National Level there are certain broad policies its up to the prudential the city the village to decide how things are implemented and how the local officials will disseminate information what is detrimental to business to the economy is the fact that there has been no adult alert gurgling from test no problem one week and then to insulate to its a long down there is no way for a business to be able to make a turnaround in its policy said that strategy in dealing with something so great usually there is some sort of an alert in china because of the frontier ition the various sides of the country local levels you never know whats going to happen even in some belief just people are being told one person from every household are allowed to leave the house once every 2 days to get basic groceries i mean this is the sort of thing that means that the workers cant get to work even if the lockdown results are so this is going to be a very long term impact ok our polling long we thank you very much for speaking to us from hong kong.

That taking a bath in a poisonous soup of decades of untreated waste water from tanneries battery and pharmaceutical factories and other industries on which bangladeshis economy relies. Of high polluted it is but where both men and when where around here this is where we have to wash now the government is finally making some progress against the worst polluters with a High Court Order forcing the closure of 231. 00 illegal tanneries but the pollution continues licensed tanneries as opposed to pump their waste to this new Treatment Plant but its not yet fully equipped to operate at capacity so every day thousands of liters go straight into the river.
