And brian is standing by for us in hong kong but 1st lets go to teheran and said big asset some initial confusion over the death toll in iran but i mean either way those figures are rising arent they.

We need to be honest we need to be transparent in the face of those people who are trying to distort the situation regarding other regions id like to say we are dealing with the cases and the symptoms and we have all the capabilities to spot this virus if we have a case of a suspected we will move them to a better place to be hospitalized we have the full capabilities to deter or to treat and we will see everything in a clear way. Now pakistan have said that they are concerned by the outbreak of virus and have closed their borders now thats in addition to many thats in addition to many flights that have been canceled between iran and many other countries so turkey could wait iraq and afghanistan of canceled flights to land borders of gene iran and iraq have been closed but here in the wrong weve seen more people Wearing Masks the people wearing gloves disinfectant in Public Places theres fewer people out on the streets here some gyms have been closed some cafes are closed universities schools and museums remained closed and public gatherings have been canceled now there isnt a state of panic here but people are concerned people are scared and people are definitely questioning the official government account.

Aljazeera aging. Well lets get more now from a dream brian in Hong Kong Adrian the persist for months of the National Peoples congress is usually significance in their think conflicts and messages about the would say what does this suggest about the authorities control of the situation. Well thats right earlier on monday the authorities and who had announced that people who werent residents of the province of who by shown showing no sort of outward symptoms of the virus could apply to leave then just a few hours later another Government Department in the provincial government said actually thats wrong that order that instruction has now been rescinded so it was more confusion coming of course after what was a week of confusion last week when china change once more the way that it has its testing method for people who have the virus so what were seeing in china at the moment i think is gradually gradually the sort of infection rate and the death rate is is falling people are still dying but theyre not dying in the same numbers they were say this time a month ago we also know that the recovery rate now stands at about well almost 25000 thats about a 3rd of the people have been infected so a 3rd of those infected have been recovering thats good news the bad news came from the World Health Organization in beijing on monday they held a joint News Conference with officials from Chinas National Health Commission and they had the shocking news that some 3000 medical workers have so far been infected with the virus one of the reasons for the high infection rate poor protection and also the fact that these doctors and nurses are the team didnt any doctor will tell you that if youre very very tired youre much more prone much more vulnerable to infection and also on monday is katrina pointed out in her report china made the almost historic decision to cancel the nath National Peoples congress this is you know the biggest political event of the here in china i cant recall an occasion or my years of covering china when the n. P. C. Has been cancelled its very important because you know what happens at this conference is keenly anticipated by economists all around the world because of course they want to know what. Chinas economic targets are for the year ahead particularly now as chinas economy is slowing and of course as a result of this virus its going to be slowing even more and if chinas economy slows down the whole worlds economy slows so today weve seen in a sense the economic and political impact of this virus ok its inbred their life as in hong kong thank you well lets get more on this now from i know tangan hes a China Affairs analyst and joins us now live from beijing good to have you with us on the news are at lets start with the canceling of the n. P. C. Would you say this is a purely practical measure or is certain is there a political element to this as well no i think anyone whos looking at this and sounding some sort of alarmist tone is wrong im here in beijing theyre leading by example no basketball games will not resume until april 1st this would have taken place in early march around march 3rd 4th and what theyre doing is just simply acknowledging that the logistics of bringing thousands and thousands of people from all d over china literally every corner of china into beijing and then having them stay and then take them back is too daunting when youre in the midst of a Health Crisis right now the focus is simply on dealing with what is in front of them and that is this virus well in terms of how the authorities are coping with this do you think that we heard there from adrian brian there are conflicting messages about the locked in on rouhani who were told at the beginning of the day that people would be allowed in and out now were told actually that was a mistake the lockdown remains in place over Health Workers who are exhausted in contracts in the virus does this suggest that the authorities arent saying control and theyre losing control of this or would you say everything is progress in flight. Well nothing is progressing fine while people are being sick and dying but under the circumstances given a very highly Infectious Disease and the numbers that you were quoting earlier the fact that the vast majority of provinces have reported a downtick no new infections it seems that china has come up with a way of solving this it was very aggressive they told people they basically quarantine 100000000 people they cut off different cities and towns they slowed the economy down they delayed going back to work i think theyve had it pretty much in control ive actually being here in beijing you know adrian is in hong kong that its very calm sort of collected very cautious and surprisingly people are very kind the communities have come together people offer me facemask and these are very precious things and its something that you know unless youre here you dont really know how to how to assess it which would you suggest that this way of sorting things out i mean yes the chinese something on practically everything at set but the virus has spread senate has spreads now its a europe for nice in large numbers of people contracts in the virus that any wrong on china deadlocked and things very very quickly but it still managed to spread despite chinese efforts. Yes it did i mean there was a slight delay in the beginning due to and i think the Chinese Government has acknowledged that there were a lot of municipal and provincial of officials who wanted to avoid bad news they did not assess it correctly there was some delay i dont know that that was dispositively what caused it because if you start looking at the difference in times if this is a 14 day incubation period these people caught it you know 2 weeks ago and that was well after this quarantine started so i dont know that its necessarily going to be productive by pointing fingers the issue is what kind of response are these countries going to do and i think youll see that china is very supportive of them which was not the case for a lot of countries in terms of when china was going through this. Thanks very much for joining us that live from beijing.

Rounds of retaliatory retaliatory tariffs they also dont agree on things have big differences on visas issued to indian workers in america on the pharmaceutical industry so we will wait and see if they make any progress on that that its not expected so. Very much is about these 2 need is the spectacle of trump coming to india their clothes on they do have things in common especially in their style of leadership that is 9 months before the president ial election and the u. S. Coming to when the. Indian americans can trace their origins to. Those political upheaval in malaysia after the king accepted the resignation of the Prime MinisterMahathir MohamadPolitical Party house quits the Coalition Government well this falls top spot is some members of the Ruling Coalition exclude from a new administration the Prime Ministers chosen successor. Brahimi sloans louis is in kuala lumpur she says its unclear what my next move will be. The statement from the Prime Ministers office confirming that mahathir had indeed tended allows letter of resignation to the king well there was no reason given for the resignation but weve since heard the finance minister coming out and saying that mahathir attended his resignation because he did not want. Him to not want the party to have to work with im know is the party that was in power in malaysia for decades it had ruled malaysia since the country gained independence from british in 1957 and it was only ousted in the last general election in 2018 its leader was its former leader was the former Prime Minister of this country not your brother whos been accused or whos been charged and is on trial for corruption hes been accused of stealing billions of dollars from state Investment Funds according to the constitution the person who will become Prime Minister and his country is someone who commands the confidence of parliament now if all things had remained the same then this person could well have been on what he brought him but because my heart is party has left the Ruling Coalition and because some members of on was party have also either resigned or been sacked from the party on what its doubtful that anwar will have the numbers to actually back him to be the next Prime Minister of this country so its very unclear whats going to happen next we dont know who will be in charge of this country next who or who is going to form part or which parties are going to be part of the Ruling Coalition but many civil Rights Groups have already said that if this governing coalition includes im no the party that was ousted in the last election then this is clearly wrong it is contrary to democratic principles and its not what people in malaysia had voted for back in 2018. The Israeli Military has carried out air strikes in syria killing at least 2 members of the Palestinian ArmedGroup Islamic jihad has it also bombed the gaza strip wounding at least 4 people the army says the strikes were in response to the group firing rockets into southern israel and we understand more rockets have been far today lets get more from ari force that she joins us live from west jerusalem just bring us up to date on whats happening and how we got see this point. Well whats happening right now is just the last 10 minutes or so there have been further sirens announcing the rocket fire from gaza towards the israeli towns near the gaza strip that is be investigated we understand by the Israeli Military and follows a round of strikes from the Israeli Military after some 14 rockets were fired by Islamic Jihad earlier in the day 12 of those these are military says were intercepted by the iron dome antimissile system and this is a 2nd day of such events because on sunday evening there were some 30 rockets fired and there were strikes following those both inside gaza and as you said towards Islamic Jihad targets inside syria as well this entire round of escalation triggered by what happened just after dawn on sunday when the Israeli Army Says passing Islamic Jihad fighters were trying to plant an improvised explosive device along the fence they were fired upon one of them killed and then an israeli bulldozer and tank came on to the scene to take the body of the dead man away the defense minister of israel has said that will be the policy Going Forward that not just hamas fighters but all fighters if killed by israel their bodies will be taken and used as bargaining chips the very distressing video of this caused a lot of outrage and promises of retaliation by Islamic Jihad and now weve seen the the escalatory ladder been going up in the hours since and hairy of course this all comes as another election is looming it is feel at just how does all this playing domestically. Well yes the election is jew on march the 2nd thats a week today and the prevailing wisdom is usually that the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu tries to avoid getting dragged into a major escalation because of the dangers theyre in in the days ahead of a vote and that there have been escalations ahead of elections and he has stepped back from going too far in terms of an Israeli Military response but the rhetoric coming from both him and some of his ministers in the last few hours has been pretty strong he said that war is a last resort but there may be no escape from it hes talking to hamas that they have been targeting Islamic Jihad installations in these airstrikes and so separating out hamas which controls the gaza strip from Islamic Jihad in terms of the military action but addressing hamas is saying if you dont shoot them will shoot you im talking about a war not looking for a war but we have prepared something you cant even imagine so that is that is the threat coming from measurement and you know but obviously going further than that does risk getting him brought it in an unpredictable conflict just a few days ahead of elections and indeed there are political tensions all these political consequences inside gaza as well the last time there was a round of escalation like this with israel exclusively targeting Islamic Jihad and Islamic Jihad firing rockets that was in november though lots of calls on hamas to join in and those part of the opposition and difficulty for hamas given its policy to to sit this one out so little sort of hands on hamas is response in the coming hours and days to ok very far said that thanks very much gary foster reporting live from west to receive them. The Prime Minister overseas who has been in court 3 days afterwards almost to bonnie failed to appear its face allegations of murdering his strange wife people the author of army was shot dead just before his inauguration in 2017 so the armys new wife has already been charged with murder the case has been referred to the Constitutional Court to determine whether the Prime Minister can be prosecuted lets get more from for me the miller she joins us live from the the c. Z. Capital maseru has the Prime Minister managed to evade a murder charge. It certainly appears that way at least using the law to try and avoid having those charges read out and so formally laid against him so far the defense team of the Prime Minister has questioned whether or not is sitting Prime Minister can actually be charged and prosecuted so now that questions been taken to the high court which will act as the Constitutional Court to determine whether or not the Prime Minister will indeed be charged and rounded these developments in a lawsuit or theyve been a lot of questions around the division of power and the independence of the judiciary from the executive and what is concerning for many here is that the High Court Judge or the chief justice rather is known to have a close relationship with Prime Minister bonnie so this certainly is concern around just how long it will take for that case to be heard because the chief justice will set that date and so will the Prime Minister face these charges while still in office and while i under the protection of potentially immunity or if this will be prolonged to a later date ok for me as a miller live for us there in the city thank you. Had to go as president for the same day has won a 4th time in office according to preliminary results he thinks 70 percent of the vote far ahead of his main rival and they only tojo the opposition alleges fraud to place during the election and the interest is following the story for us from only. With a massive win of 72 percent of the vote as declared by the independent National ElectoralCommission President is set to extend his 15 year rule on the state of the west african nation and effectively solidifying the group the family had on power in this country for more than half a century now with this result will be no need for a 2nd round of voting or an off between the top 2 candidates the results will now have to be forwarded to the Constitutional Court for it to ratify within the next 6 days however that one opposition figure who had already declared himself elected president is saying that he is not agreeing to the results as announced by the independent National Electoral commission we knew he proceeded to change the to change the result is some way. Of the former head of state over the new people who write their name on a pool so we know and the media know and my we. Do have the power we dont boot we do it problem so as we. Do what is paid quote these people. To leave and to give that power now a lot of people will be watching closely to see the reaction of people on the streets and what will be the response of the security forces. Time for the weather now heres rob your take yes see straight yes finally this thing became a cycler now weve been weve been watching this satellite picture and this cluster of thunderstorms for about 3 days now its not named as a strike until it gets just stronger for the baby grew up and just made landfall as it became a name cycling cold esta has now moved inland now this is a particularly highly populated part of australia of course but they contain some people so this is worthy of note is still got a lot of rain still to produce now given its over a very dry part of the world may be quite surprised at that because generally speaking these things need to feed warm air warm moist air all the time once they give a land that often comes off the feed in this case not so quite likely for the next 3 or 4 days it will warm the slowly through this part of australia until it finally makes exit sometime over some well like 80 mile beach in 4 or 5 days time most of these places ago a population of want 2000 for thought youd be interested in hearing on the biggest scale in australia were less concerned about the amount of flooding like to be in New South Wales or even in queensland has been the case recently but theres a bit of good news for those in Western Australia particularly around person but it pretty poor some of her right may not see some rain the some of these thunderstorms coming in could be quite substantial and therefore welcome.

After activists threatened to take action unless police removed the group well 20 berkeley isnt jaffer abides in delhi so any just bring us up to speed whats been happening where you are. Well weve seen some of the most violent clashes and delhi over the sea yeah since december and it shows the volatile situation here can erupt at any time as you mention some of the extremist elements in the Hindu Community have threatened to remove these muslim women from their protest thats been going on now for a few weeks unless the police did and today they kind of escalated the violence from what weve seen in the aftermath weve seen burning cars burning buildings you seen piles of bricks that obviously were put there with the intent to stop throwing the the Muslim Community and also weve been hearing very very much troeh hindu songs and chants coming from the Hindu Community at the end of this road here im about 300 meters away from where it all happened thats now been sort of a no go zone police have been poked a penal statute one at one for which prevented groupings of more than 4 people but there is a very sizeable Police Protest here on the streets sorry Police Enforcement on the streets so i have to say its very very tense here and people are very concerned about whats going to happen of course where the stalemate these are the scenes that Prime Minister modi didnt want donald trump to see so he wont see them in the shadows on the t. V. Tonight have been quite violent and show us how tense the situation is and we are still without a conclusion to this but both sides of the community so you are showing their anger and frustration in a violent way and we give references there to any the timing on this is all very unfortunate coming as it does when the brick carpet has been rolled out for donald trump and presents quite a different picture and to the outside world from the. A mass rally that we saw up in the north of the country. Going over the wall this is the picture those dominated life in india for the last 2 and a half months these are scenes that theyve been witnessing on a daily basis i think in india and it shows that theres a very serious situation that has to be resolved in no time words from President Trump is going to help that along in fact it seemed almost like an endorsement thats how a lot of people here see that but there is concern about where do we go from here the police as a say on the streets but they cant control everywhere all the time and the such a depth of feeling that i heard from the Hindu Community that they obviously feel that they are having theyre not being answered with calls for calm here they want to take action in their own hands one of their m. P. s who was defeated in the local elections recently said that unless the police took action they would then it seems they have started that process. Ok tony burke there live for us in just provides thank you now hearing into whether wiki leaks founder Julian Assange will be extradited to the u. S. Has begun in london as ours was indicted in the u. S. Last year on 18 counts including computer hacking and fire late in the espionage act but the charges relate to the then leak of hundreds of thousands of secret military documents and diplomatic cables 10 years ago effects survey says he could face up to 175 years in jail as call life now it seems london where lawrence lee is for when that trial lawrence whats been happening at the court today. Well look its its the 1st day only of months and months of dates and so theres been nothing particularly newsworthy its just the prosecution in the hearing war who threw. Their main claims but it doesnt also the very serious nature of the question thats being asked of the judge in the extradition hearing clearly from the american side in a song shes is guilty of not bad journalism but bad character and treason and espionage and as the lawyer said this morning in his allegation putting peoples lives at risk they they say journalism can involve breaking the law the alternative view of course from all the soldiers supporters who are in very good voice. Is that in the digital age its very very important that people are able to get hold of even classified documents and put them into the Public Domain particularly if theyre very much in the Public Interest which is frankly always what what what wiki leaks did and so it is a very serious questions being asked is journalism a criminal activity. Or is it not and thats the determination really the judge has to make ok Lawrence Leigh following that trial in london and i thank you and libyas Prime Minister says the commander of the offensive to capture the capital is a war criminal addressing the Human Rights Council of the United Nations in geneva. Highlighted the worsening humanitarian crisis showed members photos of libyan children killed in the 5 to 10 month military campaign to overthrow his government. Until this very day we have not seen a peep tearing stance by the International Community before you we express our regret at the continuing flagrant violation of human rights which led to the killing of thousands and displacement of hundreds of thousands your excellences ladies and gentleman many have lost their lives men women children the elderly families have been displaced children have been orphaned because of their aggression perpetrated by the war criminal have gotten. From us because their james base is in geneva. 2 Different Things are going on at the same time right now at the u. N. Here in geneva and the way they both into intersect is libya one is the Human Rights Council that exists solely year round but it has a high level session which is underway now serves addressed by antonio good terrace the secretary general by the high commissioner for human rights michel bash away and among those who also addressed it was the libyan Prime Minister so he used that forum with Foreign Ministers and other leaders around the table to make his case about what he said will war crimes being carried out from benghazi by general hafta and his forces elsewhere though in the u. N. Here in geneva talks on libya continue and thats the reason i think that hes making this into jackson in the Human Rights Council right now what weve had for some time nearly a week now is the 2nd round of military talks they were near collapse a few days ago after general haftar decided to fire rockets at tripoli they have though continued we believe sporadically over the weekend very limited updates coming from the u. N. Mission on xm and in fact they havent updated reporters on whats going on since friday but i think thats because theres neither been a breakthrough or a breakdown. Elsewhere in geneva the latest round of talks between military representatives from the warring sides in libya has concluded under the guidance so if the un theyve prepared a draft sees far agreements and more presented their respective leaderships talks are set to receive next month.
