The coronavirus continues to spread at speed. This time a week ago, there were under 3000 cases in china. There are now more than 17,000 and more than 360 people have died. 0utside china, there are more than 150 confirmed cases and a fatality in the philippines. In a bid to contain the virus, some countries are denying entry to people from wuhan, the city where it started. And china is accusing some countries of overreacting and stoking panic. For example, its unimpressed that the us has declared a Public Health emergency and is denying entry to all foreign nationals whove visited china in the past two weeks. Well, thats for the americans. This is what the world health 0rganisation is saying. There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with International Travel and trade. We call on all countries to implement decisions that are evidence based and consistent. In china, millions of people have returned to work after the lunar new year. These are the latest pictures. These are public areas being disinfected. There have been fever checks at transport hubs to try and spot people who have raised temperatures and could have the virus. Workers disinfecting these public spaces. China issuing an urgent appealfor public spaces. China issuing an urgent appeal for more protective suits, goggles and masks because its running low. And in the philippines there has been a rush to buy facemasks after a man from wuhan died. And in hong kong, hospital staff have gone on strike, demanding the border with Mainland China is completely shut. Lets focus now on the experience in wuhan. It remains on lockdown. People arent being allowed to leave or come in, and those there are being encouraged to stay at home. 0ne russian man who works there filmed this. Wuhan. Around 5pm, sunday. 0n the street you can see only fake people. Fake people here. Fake people there. And remember the new hospital that was promised in wuhan . Its finished. This is a time lapse of it being constructed in nine days. It is now admitting patients. Those images have been enthusiastically distributed by Chinese State tv. And the machinery in that construction being hailed as heroes. And there are other images circulating on chinese social media of fan art featuring the machines, a lot of it created by people stuck inside cities currently on lockdown. This one has a love heart in front of it. This one has been given the nickname, the cement king. Several countries are now trying to get their citizens out of wuhan. Australian evacuees had a long wait at the airport in wuhan. Eventually they were flown out. 89 children among those on board. Its the first plane of australian citizens and permanent medicines to be flown out. The plane flew to Western Australia before passengers were put onto smaller planes and taken here, to Christmas Island which is known for a large immigration detention centre. That will be used to house the australians in quarantine. Theyll be held here for two weeks. And these images from channel 7 show some of the the medical set up there. You can see an inflatable room to be used for isolating any potential confirmed cases of the virus. Its known as a negative pressure because it allows fresh air in, but stops potentially contaminated air from getting out. Since 2003, thousands of Asylum Seekers have been detained on Christmas Island under australias refugee policy. It currently only houses a family of four sri lankans who are fighting deportation. And the plan to house australians on the island has raised concerns particulrly whether it has adequate medicalfacilities. Indeed, not all of the 600 australians in wuhan are choosing to leave. But one woman from sydney told the abc i got a lot of pressure from my husband. He said the situation is not very good, all the other countries have started to close the borders. He said if we stay over here, it would probably take a couple of months to get out of wuhan, so he started to get really nervous. She got on the flight. Four flights carrying evacuees are scheduled for this week. Two other important parts of the story. Misinformation and racism. This post has been widely shared with information supposedly from an organisation called the department of diseasology paramatta, except that doesnt exist. And the information in it, advising people to stay away from suburbs with large chinese populations, is baseless. This is a doctor in australia. Shes tweeted a patient made jokes about not shaking my hand because of coronavirus in front of my team. I have not left australia. This is not sensible Public Health precautions. This is racism. Well, on misinformation and conspriacy theories, heres will sommer, a tech journalist for the daily beast. Were seeing a lot of these fake claims, whether its drinking bleach to ward it off or the idea that this is spread from Chinese People eating bats. Frankly, many of these ideas are very, very racist. They are blowing up on social media. Its tricky. Weve seen some tweets, even from epidemiologists, people who are experts in this field, being taken out of context and blow up online, by people who are very concerned about the coronavirus. The solution i think is very responsible reporting and people going to the experts on this, rather than seeing whats going viral and running with that. Angela hui has written about this for metro newspaper. In the article she says highlights some of the Media Coverage including this headline from the herald suns front page headline, chinese virus pandamonium, in which the word panda is highlighted. Shes also spoke about some of her personal experiences including this incident on the underground here in london. A white man, about in his 20s, 30s, sits next to me and then immediately shoots back up and mutters under his breath, oh, im not sitting next to the coronavirus and then goes across the carriage and sits somewhere else. At the time i was just like, taken aback by it, like, did this reallyjust happen . Not thinking too much about it and not saying anything at the time because i was in shock and i dont really want to kick up a fuss. I think thats what happened. And now youve shared this story, have other people come to you and said theyve experienced something similar . Yeah, quite a few people have experienced the same thing. The problem was, when the coronavirus broke out, it was around the lunar new year, so many people werent allowed to go back home and visit family because many people were on lockdown. It was quite sad in chinatown. Many people in chinatown. In london, you mean . Yeah, london chinatown. Many people were avoiding the area because of fear of catching something, catching coronavirus. A girl i spoke to, she was also on the tube and then she saw a man, she saw a man holding a newspaper and then there was a group of east asians who got on the tube and he was using the newspaper to cover his face like this, to get away from them. As soon as they got off the tube, he relaxed. Its just this, i think its kind of, really sad that everyone is being lumped together, it doesnt matter if youre east asian, southeast asian. Everyone is lumped together. Its regardless of whether your chinese or not, which i think is the sad thing. In your article you were just talking about your personal experience. You are highlighting some of the Media Coverage youve taken issue with. Have you been surprised by the tone youve seen in some newspapers . To be honest im not that surprised because i feel like a lot of east asian people experience this discrimination that isnt reported on and is often ignored. The scaremongering headlines, thinking the worst. Its making everyone think irrationally and do irrational things. Its just causing a frenzy where everyone is just scared. There is much more information on the coronavirus on the bbc news website. Between Syrian Government forces and turkey. Turkey has responded to the killing of six of its soldiers by artillery fire, by carrying out airstrikes against Syrian Forces in idlib province. That province is in the north west of syria. It says 35 syrian troops were killed. We cant confirm that. An independent Monitoring Group says at least 13 people died. Russia is also relevant to this it backs the Syrian Government and controls the airspace in the area. Heres president erdogan warning president putin not to intervene while turkey retaliates. Translation we are determined to continue our operations for the security of our country, our people and our brothers in idlib. Those who question our determination will soon understand that theyve made a mistake. Lina sinjab has this analysis from beirut in neighboroughing lebanon. There has been tension in the past between turkey and russia and both countries are pragmatic. Both leaders, putin and erdogan, are pragmatic and theyve found ways to protect their own interests. Now mr erdogan is also under huge pressure because six of his soldiers were killed in artillery shelling by the Syrian Government. He must address the public inside turkey and he must assert his position and turkeys position on syria and retaliate. Idlib is the last opposition stronghold in syria. Its home to 3 million people, including 1 million children. And its long been feared that it could host a final showdown between the government and rebel groups. Turkeys concern is a new refugee crisis. It has already taken in 4 million syrian refugees, who moved north, and it fears an escalation in idlib could see many thousands more seek refuge. The turkish troops whove been killed were involved in policing a demilitarised zone that was established in 2018 between russian and turkey. And these are pictures of Syrian Government forces, backed by russia, which have been pounding towns in idlib with airstrikes and artillery. President assad argues that this offensive is to drive outjihadists who were supposed to have withdrawn as part of the 2018 agreement. And that turkeys troops were caught in the crossfire of this operation. Despite that, turkey says russia has reneged on the 2018 agreement by backing the Syrian Government. Very complicated and important. I got the details from 0zge 0zdemir from bbc turkish. President erdogan has said that five soldiers and three civilian personnel from the army have been killed and because of the de escalation agreen between russia and turkey, turkish soldiers have been in the area. Russia say they have not communicated. The turkish soldiers have been but the turkish say that they have been saying they have communicated that to you as we always do. It is a bit complicated. We dont know the reason very well. The role of the turkish troops, were they just there to maintain this buffer zone, or were they working with rebels in idlib . Turkey have been saying they have been there because they want to prevent the refugee crisis. They dont want an influx to the border. In the 2018 de escalation agreement between russia and turkey, they agreed upon putting soldiers over there to control the zone but syria. They want to attack idlib back so the situation there has been complicated. How does that connect to the turkish efforts to create a longer buffer zone on the border with syria, so that any refugees can perhaps go there rather than into turkey . Has turkey been successful in establishing that . They havent put that on the table. It hasnt been completed, it hasnt been established, not yet. Stay with us on 0utside source still to come. We will turn to iowa in america because the first electoral contest of the us president ial election begins, the iowa caucus. Well bring you up to date. Officials at downing street today ordered seniorjournalists from some of the uks main news organisations to leave a briefing on borisjohnsons brexit plans, prompting a walkout by colleagues across the media. A number ten source said it reserved the right to choose which journalists it briefed. Dawn foster is a Political Columnist at the guardian, one of the papers that was excluded. I think they fully expected journalists to go in, listen to the briefing, maybe send a couple of tweets, but that the general public wouldnt really care about it. But because we walked out, the stories who walked out were right to walk out. You cant pick and choose who comes into a briefing. You cant withhold information from some publications and not others purely for propaganda purposes. It is number ten following their weight around to see what they can get away with and they discovered quickly that they cant get away with this. This is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story isl china builds a new hospital in 8 days but is struggling to deal with the spread of coronavirus.

The actorjoaquin phoenix has used his baftas speech to call out what he says is systemic racism in the film industry.

At least 1a pupils have been killed in a stampede at a Primary School in western kenya. It happened in the town of kakamega, which is almost 300 kilometres from the capital nairobi. Rhoda 0dhiambo spoke to me from there earlier. The information we have is that at about 5pm, when the bell was rung signifying that the lesson had come to an end, the children rushed out of class and its at this point that some of them used a narrow staircase inside the school. Some of them fell on of the students and parents flock to the school trying to find out what had happened. The people from the Red Cross Team pitched a tent at the Red Cross Team pitched a tent at the school to try and control the situation. Is the situation still ongoing . Have the Emergency Services left . Emergency services are still ongoing. The children were admitted to the ka kamega ongoing. The children were admitted to the kakamega hospital where they are receiving treatment. The parents of the students studying at the school are present in the hospital.

Police in london have been searching a hostel where a man who carried out a knife attack, had been staying. The attack took place in streatham, in the south of the city on sunday. Three people were injured, but no one is in a life threatening condition. The knifeman, sudesh amman had just been released from prison for terror offfences. Lucy manning reports. This unfortunately is not the first time. The high street, forensic teams, Police Investigating an attack, a former prisoner using his freedom to try and kill. Yesterday, it was streatham. Plainclothed officers, guns drawn, have shot a man after he steals a knife and start stabbing others. They have had sudesh amman under surveillance, so more officers quickly arrive, one on a motorbike. One of the armed officers approaches him as he lies on the ground wearing a fake suicide vest. Get back, they shout. A surveillance officer uses his armed colleagues for cover. They start to clear the street. People rush to help the injured, blood on the pavement. Start moving backwards, very quickly, please. A man and a woman were stabbed, both are recovering. A shopkeeper was running out and shouting he had stolen something. Then it happened really quickly, lots of people running and then we heard three bangs. I heard two shots. I noticed the policemen had guns on them. The third Police Officer was next to his side and then fired one more shot and that is when the guy dropped on the floor. When he dropped, he was trying to move his hand to reach out for something. When i looked closely there was something strapped to his chest, like a silver canister. I saw a trail of blood that was leading to a middle aged man who was on the floor bleeding. I knew that i had got a blanket in my bag. I pulled it out and we used that to stem the bleeding. And all i could think was, he is going to die in the middle of the street. Sudesh amman had only been released from prison ten days ago, automatically let out halfway through his three year sentence for terrorism offenses. He pledged allegiance to Islamic State and had manuals about knife attacks. Amman lived at this bail hostel around a mile from the attack. Because he was under active counterterror surveillance, it seems the authorities thought he was possibly one of the most dangerous people in the country, so why was he living behind these gates, rather than behind bars . 0fficers searched the hostel, removing evidence. The Police Stopped this attack but how will the politicians prevent it . New emergency laws. De radicalising people is a very, very difficult thing to do. There is a big psychological barrier that people find it hard to get back over. And thats why i stress the importance of the custodial option. And that is why i have come to the end of my patience with the idea of automatic Early Release. They are let out of prison, but the public is not out of danger. Stocks in china saw their biggest losses in four years on monday because of concerns about the coronavirus. Chinas central bank had tried to fend this off by announcing it was pumping 22 billion into the economy. Heres one economists reaction to that move.
