the philippines in new zealand have now joined the us and australia in banning foreign tourists from entering if they've traveled to china in the past 14 days and hong kong calls a growing for its border with mainland china to be closed hospital workers have voted to go on strike from monday to pressure the government and more countries around the world flying their citizens out of china russia is the latest with the military sending planes on monday and tuesday within china $304.00 people have now died from the virus has asked the e.u. for urgently needed medical supplies as it struggles to contain the virus has more from beijing. it's been confirmed by the philippine authorities that a 44 year old chinese man from han died on saturday he developed pneumonia while he was in in the hospital in quarantine with a companion a 38 year old chinese woman who traveled with him they landed in the philippines on the 21st of january they connected through hong kong on their way to the philippines yes this is the 1st death now from the corona virus outside of china and now it's interesting you know it came comes in the philippines and that's when as you mentioned one of the 4 nations that are really kind of clamping down on allowing non-citizens to come in who have traveled to china who have been to china the 1st announcement of a procedure like this is restrictions like this came from the united states and it didn't it was not received well by beijing here they said that it did was not a show of good faith in the united states said that that wasn't their intention but they were just being very protective there was no big threat in the united states they said but they wanted to be as protective as possible for the united states citizens so what it what it really is is that any person non citizen from the united states coming to the united states who's traveled to china who is not a relative a close relative of an american citizen or has a green card that legally can be in the united states as a foreign national they will be turned away in a straw you had announced a similar situation similar restrictions the philippines and then new zealand to new zealand said that there is going to go into a place into place on monday the u.s. has confirmed it's a case of the virus software man fell and ball stitt elizondo has those details. there are 3 in the state of california 2 in illinois one in the state of washington and one in the state of arizona the latest confirmed case comes from the state of massachusetts particularly the city of boston that's where officials there said it is a. man in his twenty's a college student who is a student at the university of massachusetts at the boston campus who had come back from china showed signs or symptoms of being sick was tested in the test came back positive he is now being held in isolation at his home in boston and being closely monitored 24 hours a day by medical officials there we also have from the city city of new york city the mayor bill the blast to confirming the 1st suspected case the u.s. is preparing potentially for hundreds if not thousands of people that they're repatriating from china or visitors that they need to quarantine and where they're going to put them or the department of health and human services has requested that the military set up some sort of quarantine areas on military bases and the pentagon confirm that they are doing that they're having beds if you will for as many as 2000 people to be quarantined they've already identified 3 different military bases where they will put these people that potentially could have coronavirus should this be necessary in the coming days all 3 major u.s. airlines united american and delta have canceled all of their flights to china however there are flights from chinese carriers that are coming to the u.s. still and those flights are all being diverted to 7 different international airports in the u.s. where there is going to be extensive extra scoop screening of all passengers who are either coming from china or could have come through china to the u.s. all of this is going to be starting on sunday. the given is from the university of washington medical center he says china has responded well to the outbreak but the virus has proved almost impossible to track you know i have to applaud the chinese government because i think they've learned the lessons of 2003 with sars because corona virus this current virus is behaving very similarly to sars it kills elderly individuals more so than younger otherwise healthy individuals it seems like it's actually more transmissible than sars that if you are asymptomatic or if you're recovering from this illness you're so likely to transmitted that's why it's so concerning and frankly even more concerning than sars so i would say the chinese government has done has learned the lessons of the past they've there are some concerns that maybe they delayed their detection or weren't issuing red flag warnings as soon as the should have but they've done a lot and if it's true that if you're in asymptomatic individual that you can still transmitted and major studies in major medical journals have confirmed that then then the transmission patterns of corona virus are unlike anything we've ever seen previously with a droplet or airborne transmitted disease like flu or sars or murders this is different and this is concerning that's why our pentagon in our military services are setting up quarantine beds because what else are we going to do but the fact is you can't quarantine everybody's so i think we should all be prepared that case loads will increase i think i'm hearing numbers of 75000 just in who pay province we should expect that number we should expect the number of dead to increase we should think spec the number of suspected cases here are confirmed in the united states to increase as well and i think that should not be surprising to anyone of us. china is also struggling to contain bird flu an outbreak was reported on a farm in the city of show young and hunan province where 4 and a half 1000 birds died the government has called a further 17000 $800.00 chickens the h 5 n one strain of bird flu can be transmitted to humans but that is rare and you a political leader in iraq but signs that it won't satisfy protest president barham salih has named former communications minister mohammad alawi as prime minister designate but his appointment hasn't been welcomed by demonstrators have camped out for 4 months demanding political reforms simona faults and reports from baghdad. the streets response to iraq's prime minister designate came fast and it was loud and clear. the hum of the law is rejected protesters in tahrir square chanted on saturday night after 2 months of political deadlock president barham saleh chose mohamed allow it to replace other loved the mahdi who resigned 2 months ago amid widespread anti-government protests days prior to allow his appointment we spoke to protesters into here who saw him as another incarnation of a political system that has failed them. hold for sure he's rejected any person who has a relation with the parties from close or far is reject from all the people in general because for 16 years we haven't seen anything from them just destruction. indeed alawi is part and parcel of iraq's post 2003 political establishment a cousin of former vice president and prime minister ayad alawi he served as a member of parliament and communication minister but resigned in 2012 after he accused the government of sectarianism upon his appointment allowing addressed iraqis in a late night speech pledging to address their demands. i want to point towards the necessity for the peaceful protests to continue that support reforms until they achieve their legitimate demands on the government start stage genuine reforms. just like his predecessor allow a promise to create jobs and fight corruption and he vowed to bring those responsible for the deaths of over $600.00 protesters to account. that we're going to investigate some bring those responsible for the violence against peaceful demonstrators to a town which is. the prime minister designate has 30 days to form a cabinet which must be approved by a parliament that has been deeply divided over how to handle the latest crisis some factions have rejected allowed his appointment but influential shiite cleric mokhtar sutter threw his weight behind him. i don't think he has support from all the political blocs but there are important political forces and i expect that the surge wrists movement will stand with him and if that's the case the other political blocs will do the sign it. for 4 months protesters have asked for a complete overhaul of the political system and then independent head of state who isn't beholden to any domestic or foreign powers allow is appointment doesn't fulfill either of these demands but it could and the months of deadlock and pave the way for early elections and gradual reform. al-jazeera but that. the arab league has rejected the us president donald trump's middle east plan at an emergency meeting in cairo palestinian president mahmoud abbas attacked the proposal saying his people will never accept its need to abraham reports that. palestinians were banking on the support of the arab states and they got it. from the ministerial council confirms the palestinian government's rejection to the so-called deal of the century in its current form the council stressed that the acceptance of such a deal would mean waiving the historical rights of the palestinian people because it's considerably less than the legitimate ambitions of the palestinian people president obama with a back detailed at length the reasons why the u.s. mideast plan should be rejected saying it adopts the israeli position in full leaving little or no room for any negotiation u.s. president donald trump has given the palestinians 4 years to engage with the plan but the best that is rated we use that time to push ahead with policies which are contrary to international law and further sort of defy the occupation and we're going to have the will and approach the moment they said jerusalem is and next to israel i knew i have to say it loud and clear we will never accept that under any circumstances i will never sell jerusalem the arab league has presented the arab peace initiative from 2002 as a solution for the palestinian israeli conflict. it calls for the end of the israeli occupation before arab and islamic states normalize relations with israel. and the influence of the regional conflict led some states to go along with the us administration for me brown pushed them closer to the main enemy who accuse israel reflected negatively on the obscene of the official level the palestinian leadership hopes that diplomatic pressure could help keep israeli plans in check up on us things we spoke to here today say that they've been hearing similar statements from different organizations for decades and their lives under occupation have only been getting worse could not do it if the arabs are with us the u.s. and israel won't do this to us. i'm not waiting for the arabs they already sold us thought if we are split amongst ourselves what are we expecting from the palestinian officials say the arab league's position helps them rally support especially as the israeli prime minister promised to push for an extension as early as next week i do believe that the the dejection of this plan must must be come from the community because it is illegal and it's undermines the international law not only undermines the rights of the palestinian people the palestinian leadership is also looking for the backing of the african summit the organization of islamic cooperation and the united nations security council officials here say it's not the u.s. plan itself they fear it's how israel can use it. the occupied west bank. still ahead on al-jazeera i owe the out oh oh. why protesters from across lebanon have gathered and
