S. Patient to die outside the state of washington where 10 people have died the grand princess cruise ship the man was aboard this now skipping its trip to mexico and its been ordered to return to San Francisco she joins us live from washington d. C. She had this is theres been a lot of talk of cruise ships during the last few weeks about this corona virus so what do we know. Right this is another Princess Cruises indeed and this cruise ship appears to be a potentially another major vector for the coronavirus to spread does this man who was elderly had Underlying Health problems which is what we often see in people who die from the corona virus but he was all in this ship and he does some bug having already felt symptoms off the coronavirus he went home and finally he called my mom one got to help got tested was tested positive but then died at least one other person from that same cruise ship who also disembarked is potentially is presumptively thought to have the current virus but i want him to the other 2000 500. 00 people who got off the cruise ship at the same time as these 2 people so clearly authorities are concerned as to where those folks are according to the california governor at least half come from california where we didnt explicitly connected to the state of emergency but clearly these are concerns of the californians and now that still is now been parked outside off the coast of california affectively and quarantine because 60 people or so from that original crew stayed on the boats and then they were joined by another 2500. 00 passengers and then went off on a cruise to hawaii so clearly theres lots of potential there for this to be a vector of the quite a virus tests are now being lifted on to that ship so that people can be tested its not being allowed to. Reach port in San Francisco for the moment but these seem to be connected to that statement by the governor and governor newsome that a state of emergency has been declared that means he gets to get lots of emergency funding its also to make sure that the price gouging concert that they can get more readily available supplies they can get more Health Workers from out of state but this is what the governor had to say.

The place you want to know all americans that are returning and attempted reassuring words to from the administrations response coordinator ensuring that you touched anything you dont wash your hands and get 20 seconds with cell on Hand Sanitizer at work but i think i was very reassuring to hear the airlines us about their procedures and their 3 levels of procedure because i think that will be reassuring to the american and i havent touched my face and weeks and weeks i miss it a number of u.

Well michel according to Chinese Government officials and perhaps you know it is it is definitely a fact in china the government is very able to quickly control areas of china tell its people give its people directives and make sure they stick to those directives so chinese officials have been basically saying because china has its socialist communist system is precisely because the reason why they managed to control the situation and keep and stem the corona virus from spreading but in essence there still is an issue in china yes weve seen the number distraught at last count as 139 on the daily level of increase in on wednesday and at the moment china has account of 80409 infections in the last official count numbers are still increasing although at a much slower pace and she has said the situation in war high and thats a city where the virus is said to have originated is till severe but experts are also concerned because china has changed the way it counts those infections infection rates several times and at present theyre not including what theyre calling asymptomatic nowi symptomatic means that they do when tested they do show that they have that are carrying the corona virus the corona virus but theyre not showing any symptoms and at the moment thats not being counted so there is still concern by scientists and other experts that that number could still rise but chinas trying to bring back life back to normal 90 percent of state farms have gone back to work people are starting to be allowed back on the streets except for will one hour 5 and that will be a province where its in lockdown let me bring you to hong kong very quickly and in hong kong life is slowly getting back to normal for the 1st time ive seen traffic on the streets in weeks but hong kong skaters is likely to rise in the coming days experts here are warning government officials are warning because the bridge.

The democratic field of candidates to take on donald trump the novembers president ial election has narrowed to just for the search and support for former Vice President joe biden made him the big winner on super tuesday putting him had a Bernie Sanders in the battle for the democratic nomination earlier on wednesday billionaire Mike Bloomberg ended his campaign and endorsed by arnolds has more. Appearing confident and relaxed joe biden listed the states he won on super tuesday with victories in texas Virginia North carolina arkansas alabama tennessee oklahoma. Going to go to massachusetts and just sort of we heard we won maine as well im. Michael bloomberg dropped out of the race and endorsed by offering financial and Organizational Support to the former Vice President ive always believed that the feeding donald trump starts 1000000 knighting behind the candidate with the best shot to do it and after yesterdays vote is clear that candidate is my friend and a Great American joe biden. The 3 quarter 1000000000. 00 price tag for his president ial ambitions one bloomberg 0 states although he was victorious in the territory of American Samoa well i think he underestimated the degree to which politically he was just not acceptable enough to a broad enough swath of democrats Bernie Sanders who won 4 states including california vowed to press on so the American People have got to on this lamp that this is a conflict about ideas about a record about a vision for where we go forward. And id like to you know is a decent guy and i do not want this campaign to generate into a trump type if it were attacking his fellow analysts say sanders may have peaked as a candidate i think were also seeing is that there is a natural limit to sanders appeal to the Democratic Party writ large without mentioning sanders by name biden also called for civility you know what we cant let happen in the next few weeks is that this primary turning into a campaign of negative attacks the only thing that can do is help donald trump get it done do anything to help any one of the candidates who are left in the campaign try to keep our in the ball. As for Elizabeth Warren her failure to win even in massachusetts the state she represents in the senate left the future of her campaign in grave doubt a Campaign Official said warren is assessing the path forward bidens campaign declared that he had joementum moving forward and hell need that in the next phase of the contest when 6 states vote on march 10th including michigan a big industrialized midwestern state that is key to democrats hopes to unseating President Trump in the fall rob reynolds aljazeera los angeles. And this is what some of Bernie Sanders colleagues in the senate have to say about super tuesday. I think he told the president that i think joe bidens got a you know good reputation and he tough to be more moderate than bernie but i still think its trying to lose senator sanders has argued all along that his campaign and his candidacy will bring out a Record Number of voters who hadnt participated previously in the numbers last night show differently they show that the candidate who turned out Record Numbers was joe biden and the candidate who didnt meet his numbers in 26 was pretty soon. Still ahead on al jazeera the desperate search for survivors has mudslides hit brazil.

Hi im Steve Clemons and i have a question is the Democratic Party in the mother of all wars with itself lets get to the bottom line. So after months of debates about health care about whether a woman can be president about billionaires and about americas legacy of racism and social division about russia and its election meddling or about china now and the coronavirus the Democratic Party is finally getting closer to picking a candidate who will face off against republican President Donald Trump in november the process has been a battle for the soul of the party wait not really just the soul but the deep soul which now seems split between the establishment represented by former Vice President joe biden and the revolution championed by senator Bernie Sanders so which way will this all go and which candidate has a better chance of inspiring americans and more crucially getting them to the voting polls
