the super bowl. well we begin in china where a surge in the number of coronavirus cases from city officials to impose severe restrictions on a 2nd just city residents in the eastern city of one show will only be allowed to send one family member out of the house every 2 days to buying the cess it sees well the illness is not responsible for the deaths of at least 360 people in china within 17000 people are infected with the virus a man from 100 became the 1st to die outside of china at a hospital in the philippines or a number of african countries including botswana and go all the. have reported cases and a growing number of airlines are suspending services to and from china south korea the philippines new zealand and the u.s. of all bands people who've recently traveled there from reentering the country where barbie laws in manila this is the death of a chinese man in the philippines has caused alarm across the country. there has been one death here 2 cases positive for the one corona virus the one death is off a 44 year old man from one which is the epicenter of the corona virus the new corona virus and the other patient is a 38 year old woman was also from one and was actually the partner of the 44 year old man who died on saturday at a hospital government hospital here in manila and now there is fear and a little bit of panic here because this couple arrived on january 21st in manila via hong kong han and then traveled to the central region of the philippines and then they stayed there for 4 days they were going around the region for 4 days so they may have been in contact with if not hundreds thousands of people on the plane filipinos on the streets and they reportedly also attended a street festival in the province of sybil and now the health department has a lead fears by saying that they have been diligent in tracing or in contact tracing they are now trying to trace all the people who may have been in contact or in touch with this couple but that is going to take a lot of time a lot of effort and people here don't trust that the government will be able to do that but the government is saying that they are on top of the situation well that's cross live that's a scott high blair he joins us from beijing scott those numbers just keep rising and just bring us up to speed on the latest if you would. caller yes you know those numbers as you said every morning they come out of pretty early almost around the predawn hours the new figures come out and as you mentioned in the beginning you know it's 361 confirmed dead and over 17000 confirmed to have contracted the corona virus so yet every day these numbers come up the dead the death numbers around 20 percent it seems increase over the last 56 days so that is continuing monday today is an interesting day here in beijing that's because you know this is supposed to be the end of this extended lunar new year holiday the government announced last week that they were only going to bring back those essential employees government workers and just kind of underline how seriously the government's taking in how they're trying to control this the spread of this virus as you mentioned earlier hala you know the certain cities are locking down even though they're not at the epicenter but they're still locking down and controlling the people to go out in the streets heavily and doing everything they can to try to stem the spread of this virus one thing that's kind of a good example of house how far they're taking this usually every day in the afternoon the ministry of foreign affairs has a press conference here in beijing this is kind of the the way that we hear what the central government's saying that day that's the one way to do it they're not even holding that in person this week at least possibly even longer they're doing it over we chat which is a social media platform so they're not even having people come to the ministry for the daily press conference are going to do it all over we chat and it's about scott i should say the china's not really setting on it sounds here they are taking measures they're taking quite radical measures if you will spit so as just being complete seeds are these measures have a practical impact center people reassure. i would say it's a mixed reaction at best you know it'll all be extinct yes that new hospital built just in 10 days will come online today supposed to be coming online today a 1000 extra beds staffed by over 1000 military medical personnel so that will obviously alleviate some of the stress these current hospitals are dealing with and will hon with all these patients but you know is it enough is it going to help you know in the longer run there's been a lot of online criticism which is a rarity here in china because it's usually controlled heavily about some way some mechanisms the government is putting into place and some actions by the local government there was another case kind of overnight into monday were government officials are meeting with with medical staff who have been on the front lines dealing with this down with the government officials had better mass than those on the front lines dealing with the patients so a lot of criticism about that there's been a lot of criticism about donations getting to the right places going through through the right channels so there's been a lot of criticism exactly how this has been handled by the government but again they're doing everything they can to counter that and and i would imagine with this new hospital coming online we'll see a lot of images coming out a lot of discussion about this from the central government ok scott hynes of that life is a friend thank you very much. well the chinese markets have reopened and the funds almost 9 percent starts after the lunar new year break markets have been closed for that holiday which was extended you'll remember over fears of that coronavirus spreading meanwhile china's central bank says it will inject $173000000000.00 into the economy this monday to help offset the economic impact of the outbreak and many stores have been shots that crisis worsens let's get more now from casey wally's c.e.o. of achievement that's an employee motivation web based platform he joins us from tokyo by skype could have you with us here on the user we knew the markets were going to take a hit but do you think they were going to take this much of a hits i mean a 9 percent drop did you think it would be that bad. it's . called a result. we're not seeing that kind of trouble or. this is going to have a big impact. level in terms of an impact with hong kong open their stock markets certainly before mainland china has hong kong to go ahead but they have started to recover at this monday at g think this is a short term blip and stocks will rebalance or idea to split this being more of a long term scenario. i hope it is a sort of her live and i think everybody around me is hoping it's a sort of a. i think we're just starting to see the impacts of the series starting to take over 'd and here in japan people's behaviors are starting to change you know later realistically we're only seeing like a 10 to 20 percent impact of tourist numbers of a single economy rather than what we saw were like 90 percent of the south koreans or was last year enough it was going on but i think it's just the beginning of his really changing behaviors here is becoming more pervasive so that's going to get out into the economy and i think we like to talk about the the markets have been impacts is the stock exchanges going up and but for the average individual in china and in the library region what sort of impact does this this kind of economic shock have on day to day life. there is a lot how do you see it selling out of masts people can get mass on the secondary 'd market the different outside of southern those are some 10 for like $100.00 in japan for example people are trying to stay out of. public transportation. here in tokyo for example where we don't have so many cases yet but here is starting to happen and people that have the ability to drive around in a car which is a luxury are doing have to get in that is rather than the alternative for patients but specifically here for japan what i'm really hopeful can happen is remote work might actually be really happens other than is them talking about changes in the works for a long time and nobody's are starting to send their employees home managers saying wait for a month or so so i think we're starting to see people take actions whether it's an area other than south korea taiwan or or china by the fear however we're seeing so is changing behavior a lot becoming company behavior ok casey well great to get your thoughts like you so much in seats at case of all joining us there from tokyo. let's turn to other news no protesters in iraq are denouncing the appointment of a new prime minister protest as a b. marching in several cities including baghdad nasiriyah and not just former communications minister mohammed alawi was named prime minister designate on saturday he's promising reforms and an early election now iraq is in months of mass protests against corruption unemployment and poor government services so wonderful tina's in baghdad she says many protesters are very to continue action until their demands are met. the opposition to allowing was known the well before he was appointed and still president barham saleh went ahead and that ignited him the new prime minister doesn't that perhaps because he was the only candidate that the president thought the parties could agree on now he's unlikely to reverse that decision where we have to wait is how parliament will react the next 30 days parliament will have to meet and vote on the cabinet that allow it put together which will then essentially decide whether or not the prime minister has the confidence of the political establishment but in the meantime what receiving on the streets is a split within the protest what we're seeing on the one hand you didn't you came out today opposing allow women on the other hand we have the followers of hey let's call it cleric looks at a set of one so now we're supporting and protecting the protest movement and they have come out in support of allowing what it seems to be happening now is it looks at us that are a force to lose weight behind allow us try to basically limit any opposition in the streets to allawi so we have to see how that will but play out but we're seeing a lot of opposition to allow it among the protesters among the students and they are determined to keep going until their demands are met and these demands are a complete overhaul of the political system and an independent candidate who does that sort of not represent the political establishment that is in place so far. now the turkish military

try. ourselves of being in close inclusive welcoming community and so many people from so many different backgrounds living in a very harmoniously together it's a place where you just wouldn't expect

very fast area unknown but enough assume. really really not to well policed and the military capability to actually cover this white extract is actually a challenge see if you have this vast set of place and it's not very easy for all you know to have to pass a communicator permitted to actually cover the host trade i mean the french special forces sound very well equipped and they had intelligence as well as you know at the african forces swept in alongside them but if you've got such a vast area and you've got a set of jihad these attacks that that is always going to be a challenge to keep things have been a the last meeting they had the january was he said that there was going to be joints coalition forces sudanese joint command this joint boots on the ground francis our forces mixed with african forces in order to actually be able to combat this you had this attack that i think previously it would not be a defense now forces were sort of acting on their own going
