The head of the w. H. O. 1st lauded chinas containment efforts including the isolation of 60000000 people and urged countries not to cut off travel and trade with china Health Officials say the reason for thursday sharp rise in death and infections is because the testing criteria has been broadened chinese virus experts say the epidemic should peak in china this month before subsiding what officials dont know though are the number of people whove not been tested because they either are unable or unwilling to visit overwhelmed hospitals. The government continues to put out a reassuring message to the outside world that it has this virus under control. In facing it we have always adopted an open transparent and highly responsible attitude not only for the sake of china but also for the world at large. State t. V. Is stressing the positive showing patients who recovered and gone home. Its all reminiscent of them our era with a Mass Mobilization of medical workers who volunteers and soldiers the nations being encouraged to fight war president xi jinping pools of peoples war against the devils virus and theres another virus his government is trying to contain growing calls to protect freedom of speech and Online Campaign led by academics who are demanding an end to Media Censorship seems to be gaining momentum that amounts to explicit criticism of the leadership which is rare in todays china in hong kong as in Mainland China the death of dr li one liang has increased that anger he raised the alarm about the virus 6 weeks ago for doing his job he was reprimanded by police and forced to sign a humiliating confession he died from the virus on friday president xi jinping has offered condolences to the families of medical workers who died but hes yet to publicly mention dr lee by name adrian brown al jazeera hong kong. As a consultant for ologist he says until now only one type of test was being used to detect the virus. Now what they did was to change that Case Definition today or in the last 24 hours and said that rather than just calling a person positive if the test they were positive what were going to do is to use the clinical diagnosis clinical diagnosis means the person has the symptoms and if you look at their chest x. Ray or their c. T. Scan for example you can see the characteristic changes on there that we know signify a person has this or a very similar infection and given by and large that the majority of the cases are going to be this those are reasonable criteria so not surprisingly we went from about 2 and a half to 3000 cases a day here or 2 to today declaring 15000 new cases so it looks very alarming but in fact actually its a statistical measurement it is not reflecting a sudden up scale in the spread of the infection why its interesting is that right along throughout the course of this weve been saying well the numbers that are being reported theyre the numbers ok we know about those but whats the reality out in the community how many people really have got this how many people are part of this clinical iceberg where the numbers were seeing and being reported to us theyre the tip of the iceberg but hes been on to the waterline whats the reality this gives us a closer idea as to what that likely reality is perhaps there really are 15000 People Per Day being diagnosed with this thing there probably are theres 1400000000 people in china and this virus has been spreading there for a couple of months now and the u. S. Senate has voted to let president hold trumps ability to go it alone and launch a war with iran and they have several days as president ial power says back to 8 members of s. Are Republican Party or powers resolution means trump would have to say congressional approval to launch any future strikes prompted by the assassination of Iranian Military leader qassam salem money and a u. S. Strike last month which led to a counter strike on u. S. Soldiers trump is expected to veto the measure. The President Trump or any other president cannot plunge the United States into an endless conflict in the middle east today our constitution worked exactly as the framers wanted it to work senators Work Together to assert congresss authority and serve on the check of an overreaching executive branch all 47. 00 democrats 8 republicans stood up and said enough is enough sheratons in washington d. C. With more on the political motives behind the feds. Multiple president s of trampled over what the framers were very clear about that its congresss role to declare war on a different country and the way the president s have tried to get out of it say yeah but these are military excursions incursions but actually was president obama very big on all of this 2011 libya. Congressional approval went in democrats grumbled a bit republicans grumbling but they did nothing they didnt do anything like this for example out of course president obama also always using the authorization for use of military force passed after 911 the 2 and you have to go into 100 countries expand the military footprint and bomb all sorts of all sorts of people who groups the dream exist after 911 so this has been going on for some time now and its only the democrats rediscover their constitution and theyre saying look enough is enough and they were joined by some republicans republicans they have various motives as well in that some of them were just simply rather annoyed by the briefings they got after the assassination of general sort of just too dismissive of the constitutional niceties they felt the white house should have at least paid lip service to but there are always the libertarian side who say look these endless wars have to stop in fact or you could ask why more republicans didnt vote for this given the opinion polls have been clear for years thats why dont tread on this bipartisan majority say weve got to bring our troops back from at least we cant have any more war. Is a former federal prosecutor and partner at the Public Affairs farm some our strategy is expected to veto the resolution his Foreign Policy will be closely scrutinized because this is an election year. I think president s have ignored the war powers act and periodically you hear members of congress upset about it and there has been this great expansion of executive power over the years but i think the country is feeling very tired of the endless wars in the middle east and obviously mr trump ran on that so. Too i think not only democrats but some members some members of his own party when he made the strike on iran potentially bringing us into a greater conflict with the middle east republicans really crossed President Trump at their peril as theyve learned and he has been very clear that you expect people to be in lock step and if you will go after members of his own party in an incredibly tough fashion so i think the only reason that so many of his members were willing to cross him on this i was because americans dont pay that close attention to Foreign Policy sadly so when theyre not as worried that trump will feel the need to call him call them out or that americans will be closely following this vote. In the full contest for president because as we have heard while President Trump previously said no americans were injured in all of this now weve learned that at least 100 members of the our forces are suffering some kind of traumatic brain injury so you can expect that that will be brought back when you get to the debate. About health and iraq and iran to mark the end of 40 days of mourning for cost him some money demonstrators in baghdad block the road near the airport where he was killed last month he was behind irans efforts to spread its influence throughout the middle east president onil trump ordered the killing saying he posed an imminent threat. An iraqi air base in cricket province where u. S. Troops are stationed has been targeted in another rocket attack there have been no reports of any casualties a previous attack on the same base in december killed a u. S. Contractor triggering a chain of events to cause regional tensions to soar the attack was blamed on the cutty of Hezbollah Group and led to retaliate or u. S. Strikes that killed iranian commander. Rob matheson is in baghdad with more on what could follow this latest attack. The next question that were all really asking now is how is the u. S. Going to respond to this latest incident well since that attack in december there have actually been several rocket attacks many of which have happened here in baghdad but the u. S. Has not responded principally we understand because nobody has been injured and there has been very little damage but it is significant that this is coming towards the end of the mourning period for some silly money and there are still many of the his followers here in iraq in iraq but also those members of the Popular Mobilization forces as well all of whom are determined to get foreign particularly u. S. Troops out of iraq who saying that they did the like the killing of customs of the money has not yet been avenged and that further attacks will should take place of course no information is given about what those attacks are likely to be or planned but theres another section which is saying well actually the fact that iran carried out a rocket attack on the al assad base here in iraq was enough to avenge the death of customs for the money and theyre happier for a diplomatic a government process to be gone through in an effort to try to find a diplomatic solution to moving the foreign troops out of iraq still ahead on aljazeera the calls are mounting in allowing for the countrys top election official to step down.

This is al jazeera lets recap the top stories for you chinese Health Officials have confirmed nearly 5000 new coronavirus cases in her bay province the epicenter of the virus they also announced 116 more deaths in the region on thursday. And the u. S. Senate has passed legislation requiring the president to seek congressional approval for any future strikes on iran a republican senators backed resolution which was prompted by the assassination of a top iranian commander qassam so with mommy any u. S. Strike last month another rocket attack is hit or no rockier basically the province where u. S. Troops are stationed then no reports of any casualties previous attack on the same base in december killed a u. S. Contractor triggering a chain of events that caused regional tensions to escalate. The u. K. s finance minister has abruptly resigned just a month before he was to deliver britains annual budget statement says a job that stepped down after the Prime Minister said he could only keep his job if he fired his close aides he said no self respecting minister could accept what the Prime Minister was demanding economists say johnson will now be free to launch more aggressive efforts to support the british economy of its resignation was part of a wider cap and reshuffle which also saw the departure of the man who helped restore power sharing to Northern Ireland after 3 years of deadlock Gillian Smith the Northern Ireland secretary was one of 5 ministers sacked by the Prime Minister or a challenger has more from london. So what i had been anticipated to be a pretty mundane Cabinet Reshuffle had his doors run completely off by the shock resignation of the chancellor although there have been differences between him and the Prime Minister particularly over Boris Johnsons plans to increase Government Spending it was expected that javid would keep his position but that was until number 10 gave him all this to essentially suck his team of advisors and accept a new team appointed mostly by number 10 itself this amounts basically to a power grab on treasury autonomy and lets listen now to what such a job would have to say about that the conditions that were attached was a requirement that to replace all my political advisors you know these are people that have worked incredibly hard on behalf of not just the government but the whole country did a fantastic job i was unable to accept those conditions i dont believe any self respecting minister would accept such conditions and so therefore i thought the best thing to do was to go his replacement is richie sue naca 39 year old relative novice a breakfast and a johnson loyalist he is unlikely to give too much trouble to Boris Johnson and his team but he takes this position at a very tricky time for the United Kingdom is just a month away from a budget that the he has to deliver and then of course there is the very difficult negotiation period on what the u. K. s new relationship is going to be with the European Union and the rest of the world to brics it south africas president says state of the nation address to defend his record on the economy. The Opposition Party repeatedly disrupted the speech when it resumes sherrilyn the personal knowledge to more needs to be time to kick start the stalling economy to blame widespread power shortages for sluggish growth and admitted debt was reaching unsustainable levels. Our country is facing a stark reality. The economy has not grown at any meaningful rate for over a decade even as jobs are created the rate of unemployment continues to deepen we need to fix our public finances. Low levels of growth mean that we are not generating enough revenue to meet our expenses our debt is heading towards unsustainable levels aljazeera samina miller is in johannesburg she says the president outlined options to deal with the countrys Energy Issues now the president when he finally was able to begin that address did say that whats referred to as a low trading in south africa these power cuts these rolling blackouts would indeed continue and this of course wouldnt be you know of any a consolation to investors and businesses in this country who are already struggling with the Unemployment Rate is at 29 point one percent so the president did say these rollouts blackouts would continue but they would also allow room for the use of independent Power Producers in speeding up licensing and regulations easing to allow for there being options for Energy Production in south africa but just going back to the Economic Freedom fighters at least this address by the president was delayed by almost an hour and a half thats the extent of the disruptions at that time the Health Officials<\/a> have just confirmed early 5000 new coronavirus cases and who pay province that is the at the center of the virus they announced 116 more deaths in the region on thursday the surge in numbers comes as doctors and who bay have been started a new approach to detect the virus adrian brown reports from hong kong.
