3 days of violence in the indian capital has killed at least 20 people nearly 200 others have been injured as hindu crowds wielding iron bars targeted muslims on the streets of new delhi the muslims were rallying against a new citizenship or that they say discriminates against them other demonstrations against the law have been going on for months tony betty reports now from new delhi. The suburbs of jeffery bad and bad jim bora in northeast delhi have become battlegrounds in the fight against indias citizens amendment rule the 1st successive day Security Forces fought with protesters both for and against the law. This man says he was shot in the foot by Police Shotgun pellets why would anybody even if i was standing with my mother and sisters protesting peacefully and police and people the mob by foreign entities theyre firing tear gas shells one person was shot in the chest im not a shot in the hand at the same time as me. Another wounded used to sped away on a motorbike. Its incidents like these which have drawn thousands of young muslims to join the protest they are angry at the lack of control by the government and are suspicious of the police we i discuss the police from police because police supporting damn police supporting hindus not muslims. Police are being criticized for not intervening in stopping the violence against muslims often simply standing by and watching. Videos on social media seem to show please helping hindu nationalists collect rocks and other images of officers apparently beating muslims no one policeman says so you want your freedom and then beats him here other images show mosque being vandalized a muslim property being damaged hindus also complain that their temples are being damaged and their property destroyed by muslims images on social media are always difficult to verify who what where or when but in this situation is adding to the belief of muslims here that these attacks are both coordinated and with the compliance of the police. On tuesday thousands of armed Police Including special forces and Rapid Reaction units were on patrol in a show of strength but muslims here dont feel protected they feel threatened especially for the youth. The number of those killed and injured in clashes is rising and indias leaders seem to have no solution the state has created a situation of violence and allowed it to manifest for me it is easier than i thought i am that its unfathomable to allow your own people to die like that takes a certain time of it i know this area has become ground 0 in this divisive fight now in its 3rd month and many fear the turmoil is going to get worse before it gets better Tony Berkeley aljazeera jaffer bad ne down. Lets bring in correspondent elizabeth purana who is live in new delhi liz good morning so overall is this beginning to take on religious overtones. But thats certainly what we have been seeing over the last few days peter because of course the protesters the people whove been against the citizenship amendment one. Is widely seen as being discriminatory against muslims socially in the north east in the areas that were seeing the violence and the protest is. A lot of them are muslims and it was a hindu politician from the countrys ruling by the theater jump the party who made those comments on sunday asking protesters to leave demanding that police clear them and saying that if they dont well you just wait till donald trump leaves and were going to take matters into our own hands and it was that politician and his hindu supporters who did attack the muslim crowds and then that led to you know both sides then attacking each other and so that is the danger that we are seeing now being played out elizabeth thanks very much. The World Health Organization is warning the coronavirus is moving quickly action must be taken quickly as well to prevent it from turning into a pandemic becomes widespread around the world. This is a rapidly escalating at the nomic in different places that weve got to tackle super fast to prevent a pandemic i mean its actually were trying to demonstrate is where this goes is within the control of our decisions to apply this kind of rigor and approach to to to this disease well south koreas Health Ministry has announced 169. 00 more infections mostly in and around the center of the break there thats the city of daegu the total number is now nearly 1200 European Health ministers held emergency talks in italy where the virus has spread from caught on yet to tuscany and sicily croatia austria france switzerland and germany all have infections linked to break in italy in iran the number of cases is rising there too the Deputy Health minister responsible for leading his countrys response is among those for the mail americans are being told it is inevitable the virus will spread through to the United States this tracker from the Johns Hopkins university in the us gives you a good picture of where the outbreak has spread to and the number of cases so far that will total is just over 81000. 00 brazil looks to have south americas 1st case a resident from sao paolo who recently returned home from italy live now to south korea so our correspondent there rob mcbride rob would it be fair to say that the authorities are not winning the battle with this as off yet. It is we still seem to be on this upward trajectory as far as the numbers are concerned we get to the numbers updated twice daily here and we are expecting the updates around about now its Late Afternoon here wednesday in seoul but everyone looking with increasing anxiety these bikes as we continue to get more cases because of course weve been told that the next few days are pretty crucial in deciding whether this will be contained around that side of the eastern corner of the country around the city of daigo or not but it certainly is impacting on every day life on the people not going out to restaurants to cinemas people being advised to work from home schools being closed and then you get remarkable one off events such as earlier today right here in the center of seoul one of the big telecoms providers s.

Predictions on the china experience im looking at particular at the amount of time that it took to get from the start of this outbreak all the way through to the peak and it is they reckon that based on that of 2 months to that timeline then south korea still has a long way to go its you have to bear in mind that it was only this time last week and it does seem like a long week that south korea was dealing with cases in of a few dozen its now well over 1100. 00 so you would have to conclude that south korea still has a long ways to go rob thanks very much well coronaviruses reached at least 5 chinese prisons more than 550 inmates a sick the authorities believe it was brought in by guards who shared a bus with people whod been to a local hospital do you want what you cant some Prison Guards did not report after having contact with people from affected areas in who be the failure of complete isolation cause the spread of the virus missions and.

S. Health official issued this ominous warning now its not so much a question of if this will happen anymore but rather more a question of exactly when this will happen and how many people in this country will become infected now even members of President Trumps own Republican Party are questioning a top u. S. Border official about whether its efforts to contain the virus are even adequate but you cant tell us how many youre models arent to surprising. No senator again i would i would defer you to the health and Human Services for that so just like you go to check on that wrapping up a trip in india President Trump insisted his administration is prepared and tried to downplay fears you may ask about the corona virus which is. You know very well under control in our country. We have very few people with it and the people that have it are or in all cases i have not heard anything other the Administration Says one of its Biggest Challenges is data and whether countries like iran and china are being truthful about the number of people infected to china permitted its own foreign journalists and medical personnel to speak and investigate freely chinese officials and other nations would have been far better prepared to address the challenge this as the u.

In south korea the Health Ministry has announced a 169 more infections mostly in and around the center of the outbreak of the city of new 1200 people are now focused on 3 days of violence in the indian capital has killed at least 20 people 200 injured after a hindu school with muslims in new delhi. Protests against the tensions citizenship law tony burke he is our correspondent outside a hospital in northern delhi where some of the injured are being treated 20 what kind of injuries to people have there. A lot of gunshot wounds a lot of book shot they call it from shotgun pellets stone injuries rock injuries that sort of thing. The death toll at the moment is reach Something Like 18 but we expect that to rise throughout the course of the day in Something Like 250 people have been injured that this is one of 3 hospitals in northeast delhi which is handling the casualties no casualties so far today but that may have something to do with the fact that for the time being the whole thing is sort of cooled off a little bit because the original sort of protest started with a sit down sitting by a group of muslim women that blocked a road that cause and some frustration from certain hindu nationalists who then threatened to remove them physically the police eventually went in last night and persuaded them to leave for their own safety thats moved away that actual sort of flash point now has gone but there are several questions about that because this may be seen as something of a victory by those hindu nationalists whove been pushing this violence for the last 3 days and they if this sets a dangerous precedent because if they can do this here. Northeasterly you can do it anywhere so theres concern about that and also the entire issue of this whole thing is begun to change a little bit in northeast delhi at least because this whole protest against the citizens of men act was across the board across all religions with all minorities participating it was a civil rights issue whats happened in northeast delhi is become a religious thing hindus against muslims and that is what the Muslim Community says the hindu nationalists want they want that narrative to go forward they want not to go on from here they want to blame the muslims and put pressure on them so its a very murky situation at the moment it is calm but there is still concern about whats going to happen in the coming days because theres no solution to this and this still anger and frustration deep anger and frustration about this citizens amendment acts ok tony many thanks on kongs government has unveiled its largest relief fund in over a decade to meet the demands of antigovernment protesters permanent residents over 18 years will be given cash and votes salary and property rebates and low taxes for companies the government hopes it will increase local consumption spending spree will lead with a deficit of 50000000000. 00 us dollars hong kongs economy has been battered by the months of protests and further hit by the corona Virus Outbreak clark joins us live from hong kong. Will this be enough. Well of her nose but to poor chad the financial secretary said these are extraordinary times require extraordinary measures and as you mentioned its a 15000000000. 00 relief deal its cutting taxes cutting rights and a number of one off payment some every adult or permanent resident above the age of 18. 00 in hong kong will get a one off 1200. 00 payment weve got 100000000. 00 which is also been assigned to the Tourism Industry and as you mentioned its been hit on a number of fronts over recent times more than 9 months or so of protests over the last year and now of course the cry of virus the government also said it will provide for guarantees on loans taken out by individuals and companies to simply pay the wages and taxes but the Government Spending has outstripped revenue and as you mentioned this particular time its the 2nd budget deficit now in a row after 15 surpluses so certainly a huge 15000000000. 00 relief deal to try and push hong kong out of the current recession that seems to be paralyzing and has done for about a year or so is there a calculation on the part of the authorities syria that poorer people will spend faster so that might be enough just to get the beginnings of a kick start going for the economy because to wealthier people in hong kong is not that big an amount of money but to poorer people that significant. Well interestingly youve said that some critics have suggested that this one off payment to every single permanent resident in hong kong is potentially unnecessary and should particularly be more targeted towards those who are living in poverty and certainly the older generation but when it comes to whether or not the people have welcomed this or not both sides of politics have welcomed this relief package theres been calls for some time now to extend the relation to a larger group of the population here in hong kong and as we mentioned weve got the corona virus which has been hitting hong kong hard as well as the actual so months of protests in hong kong so certainly at the moment as thailand mentioned she said extraordinary times there are quite extraordinary measures and theyre hoping this by push hong kong out of the slump of the economic slump thats found itself in their thanks very much. Since the libyan warlord relief after the began his offensive to the capital tripoli has courted the west by saying hes trying to rid the country of in his words terrorists but elements within his forces have been accused of sharing an ideology similar to al qaeda and i saw a chance transferred reports now from tripoli the much alice faces have also been accused of war crimes. These are pointers loyal to walter Khalifa Haftar battling un backed Government Forces in eastern libya. I have to says the world should support him because hes a secular force the west contrast to fight terrorism. With many of the most powerful militias fighting for half the are considered by western governments to be a threat to the future stability of libya and the security of their own countries because of the ideology they embrace. The big contradiction is in what have to tries to promote about himself and the evidence which is clear his forces are comprised of so if you had these their ideology scares many people we have seen them storming mosques and forcing others to follow their version of islam they are in an open war against the moderates in libya. These are monthly fighters saying that huffed is gods chosen one the muckle is follow what some analysts describe as an ultra conservative 6 with a jihadist ideology based in saudi arabia this is a saudi based shaikh telling mudhoney fighters loyal to hafta that their fight against the un backed government in tripoli is a religious one the government in tripoli in western libya says it wants to dissolve all militias fighting on its behalf and integrate them into a National Army have to has far more solid peace fighting with him by thousands than the western government so what he says and whats actually happening on the ground is quite different the backbone of his libyan troops the Strongest Force armament highly salafist to follow an obscure saudi sheik and and have what some claim is a quietist philosophy although this is an anomaly to you for all the analysts because what kind of quiet is silent this should get people every day this is general haftar with one of his top commanders mahmoud a willfully. And this is a lawfully killing prisoners in benghazi he is wanted by the International Criminal court to face war crimes after reportedly detaining a wolf for leave for a few days after released him and promoted him to Lieutenant Colonel in the near 6 years since warlord Khalifa Haftar launched his military operation to try and seize power here in libya Rights Groups such as Amnesty International have accused both sides of committing war crimes after describes himself as being a secular leader fighting terrorism a leader the west can trust but for the un backed government here in tripoli military analysts and many people across this country that simply isnt true.
