become the latest victim of the virus or the doctor's death brings the total number of those killed to 42 with close to 1300 people infected in china malaysia is the latest countries report of the virus infections of also reached europe with 3 patients confirmed in france in an effort to contain it spread the chinese government has expanded its travel restrictions now affecting more than 40000000 people out 0 scott hyder reports from beijing. like the past several days the people of china again woke up to news that the corona virus has claimed more lives and more people have become infected. living with his family in will han moved to china 25 years ago we spoke to him in skype are you worried even further down the line that this this quarantine could last a month 6 weeks so this is like for you and you were. so yes.
4:03 pm
oh we don't go out. on monday right so there's already all these concern is shared by people here in beijing and they're worried about the disease i always wash hands before nap to me and every time a girl out i wear a mask back inside this time we didn't realize all serious to situation was but we've learned and doing much more actively knowing the government of responding quickly and we fully support them 17 years ago the chinese government was criticized for acting too slowly when the sars virus killed nearly 800 people well most of the province the epicenter of the corona virus is now under lockdown there is concern about the people who traveled before restrictions were put into place this as there's growing evidence that people might be carrying the virus without showing symptoms unwillingly passing it on to others the detail in park here in central beijing would normally be teeming with people out celebrating the 1st day
4:04 pm
of lunar new year but like right across china the festivities here have been canceled over concern of spreading the virus nationwide measures are being put into place on airplanes trains and buses to detect infected people the people of all han are being told that starting sunday no cars will be allowed on the streets of the city center. hundreds of military medical personnel have been sent to han to help with the growing number of cases and this is in addition to the more than 1000 civilian medical staff who have already been sent in from around china to hospitals are overcrowded and some who have been treating patients have been infected so as the people of china have a muted celebration it's still far from clear what impact the wuhan coronavirus will have on the chinese new year ahead scott either al-jazeera beijing. hong kong hong kong has declared a health emergency over the outbreak of the virus let's go live there now as a tree and brown can tell us more adrian about what exactly has been declared.
4:05 pm
yes indeed adrian kerry hong kong's chief executive has decided this health crisis is serious enough to raise it to the emergency category now that followed a meeting with key advisors including some of hong kong's top medical experts that meeting was convened just after kerry am i arrived back from davos in switzerland where she's been attending the world economic forum now in addition to the various measures announced today kerry didn't decide to impose a temporary closure of the border between hong kong and china even if she had wanted to it's doubtful that her political masters in beijing would have allowed it instead she's decided to embark on other measures including requiring all visitors from the mainland to sign and fill in health declaration forms this will apply to people entering hong kong by rail train plane and boat she's also going to extend
4:06 pm
the school holidays for universities kindergartens and schools until the middle of february also flights and train services between who hanna and hong kong will remain suspended and of course all official lunar new year celebrations have been cancelled the message that kerry wanted to send out on saturday was this the health of the people of hong kong is my priority more important even perhaps than the protests that are we going on for almost 8 months. and yet the delay in our response is breached imagine sea level i will personally department to meetings and we have a command center so we can get the views from the experts and come up with strategies initiatives when we deal with this public health event i think you'll understand the. we need to be quick in making decisions then we can make decisions for the society of hong kong. well kerry couldn't change a lot of things but she can change joe griffey of course hong kong is welded to the
4:07 pm
mainland and let's remember this is one of the busiest borders in the world tens of thousands of people go backwards and forwards every day and of course it's possible the people are coming into hong kong from via other cities the mood in hong kong like beijing where scott is is so jude and flat there is no panic here but there is a growing sense of unease we heard earlier on today a dream from one of hong kong's top microbiologists he has said that the next few days are going to be absolutely critical how does a dream brown reporting live from hong kong adrian many thanks indeed the french consulate in woodland says that it's working to provide transportation for french citizens to leave the city and i was interested sasha butler is in paris with more now on how authorities there are handling the discovery of the 1st cases of the virus in france. the french health minister confirming the fact that there are 3
4:08 pm
cases confirmed of the kora virus coronavirus i should say in france now she says that the cases are all people who came from china there are 2 people who've been hospitalized in paris and one in the southwestern city of bordeaux we don't know a lot about these patients we have though a few more details about the one in bordeaux it is apparently a 48 year old man who was at home he called the doctor because he was having these flu like symptoms when the doctor came he ascertained that this man had actually traveled from one city the epicenter of this virus where it all began and then he come through the netherlands on his way to france now that point of course the doctor raise the alarm and the patient was immediately hospitalized and what the french health minister says is that it's likely that there are other cases in france they are surveying all the people that these 3 patients came in contact with very carefully and she says that the reason perhaps that these cases have been
4:09 pm
confirmed in france isn't necessarily because they are elsewhere in europe but because these are the 1st confirmed cases in europe it's more a question she said the french authorities have been very fast to assess and test the corona virus and then announce the fact that these cases have been found by the last name is director of the vaccine confidence project she's also professor of anthropology and risk at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine she joins us now live via skype from london good to have you with us do we know yet just how dangerous this vaccine is when you compare it to something like sars. well the disease it's a novel coronavirus which means it's news so we don't have all the information but i think we see the seriousness of it in the fatalities but we've been talking more about the fatalities and not the amount of serious illness and hospitalization
4:10 pm
needed. what i've heard is there is 25 percent that are serious cases that puts a tremendous stress on the health system hong kong in particular has i had history of knowing what they went here with sars so i certainly understand their urgency to to react here i mean there are 7 and a half 1000000 people there with i think it's about 18 and i have 1000 per square mile and it's that density and the risk of the spread in terms of. and i understand the urgency sort of professor in terms of ease of transmission how does this virus compare to something like influenza the common cold or the face masks that we see people wearing in china and in hong kong protection enough well it's certainly an important measure and it is a respiratory illness yes not unlike other strains of respiratory illnesses so it
4:11 pm
is highly infectious i mean that's. much more so than something if you take something like a bowl you really need person to person contact contact with bodily fluids that's not the case with corona virus how quickly can a vaccine be developed to combat this particular virus can can it be done when we have a. vaccine for influenza. well i just returned from davos where it said be the call of coalition for epidemic per prayer preparedness to innovation which was an initiative launched 3 years ago following a bola saying we need to fund it not ready next to do backs scenes and start tracks in development as soon as possible to prevent these things they launched 3 programs to accelerate the development of crown of buyers vaccine to respond to this one but
4:12 pm
you don't make a vaccine overnight. but at least it's been a very quick. and she ation of the new vaccine or vaccines to respond to this moving forward professor really good to talk to appreciate you being with us today many thanks indeed heidi lawson there in london banks. such and rescue efforts are underway in turkey after a powerful earthquake struck in the east of the country on friday evening at least 22 people have been killed or more the little 1000 injured buildings collapse near the epicenter of the magnitude 6.8 trauma emergency crews are searching for people feared trapped in the rubble of the epicenter was in a town of nearly 4000 people in the sparsely populated province of allows aig around 700 kilometers east of the capital ankara. this was the most the earthquake struck interrupting
4:13 pm
a live broadcast many people ran outdoors for safety those whose homes have been damaged are afraid to return home. for more let's bring in algeria sort of course after the scene in sick daylight fading fast now so what if it's cold. what's the situation oh. well that i must say that the numbers of the buildings that have collapsed that have been devastated is relatively low compared to previous earthquakes that happened in turkey especially. back in 2010 there is one right behind me under this building there are still some people who are trapped there and waiting to be rescued and the risk your teams are working there are hundreds of frisk you workers that have been dispatched to the area in order to. protect you know order to try to save those people so far 36 people have been pulled from those wreckage is about
4:14 pm
the disaster agency believe there are about 20 people who still remain under those buildings that are 5 buildings in this position like the bomb behind me in that the ones that have that have collapsed in mulatto which is an immediate right next. they were made of must break so the they were they weren't much losses in mothercare but in enters the we see that we witnessed that the reaction of fear from here from the people around that those buildings that have collapsed were already damaged before so this was this was in the making and in a way that i should say with the buildings that have collapsed were over the problematic but of course when we are walking in the streets we see the cracks on the on the faces of the buildings which means they are damaged but of course the level of the damage is not known for now experts are working on to figure out the
4:15 pm
level of the damages but people are afraid people are scared they took to the streets last night as soon as they heard. a $6.00 magnitude of earthquake which is a very strong earthquake especially to this region but we have heard to geologists say that the risk is gone there will not be any other. such a strong earthquake in the area but of course the aftershocks continued some people spent the night in their cars or in the streets some of them stayed in their homes feeling that it was safe but when you when you stand around these buildings like the one behind me there are lots of people who are trying to hear some word some some news from the people that they know who live and in buildings like the one behind us and what sort of conditions are the rescue workers working in right now i say but the sun is still off it's sunny the but but it's a race against time isn't it yeah it is sunny but it is very
4:16 pm
cold i have to say that but the turkish rescue workers search and rescue teams are experienced because turkey has his story of earthquakes at ri and back in 1999 in yvonne back in 2010 so the rescue workers are dispatched from many other cities to here they are working properly they are working very carefully but of course now it's a long wait for the relatives all those people who who remain on those wreckage all right so many thanks indeed of 07 crossing over there reporting from elastic in turkey this is the news hour from our syrup still to come. the final day of the opening arguments by the prosecution have been heard in president trump's impeachment trial now white house lawyers are preparing to respond. one year on the families of those killed in brazil's worst mining disaster still wait for justice
4:17 pm
we'll take you there live. and this proves to be too hot for miami basketball action coming up in schools. in just a few hours white house lawyers will begin their defense of u.s. president donald trump at his impeachment trial in the senate on friday democrats finished the final day of opening arguments accusing him of being the ringleader in efforts to push ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden al-jazeera reports from washington so ordered senate is adjourned on friday democratic party house managers concluded their opening arguments against donald trump over 3 sessions they meticulously presented their case the trump abuse the office of the president in an attempt to gain a competitive advantage against his democratic rival joe biden by attempting to blackmail the ukrainian president president tried to cheat he got caught
4:18 pm
and then he worked hard to cover it up. he is a dictator. and that is why another reason he must be removed from office and that the president obstructed congress as it proved his alleged wrongdoing by withholding evidence i didn't imitating potential witnesses. the president of the powers. the american people. to suppress evidence. skate accountability and orchestrate a massive cover up any did so in plain sight and his obstruction remains ongoing now it's up to the president's lawyers to make their case we're going to rebut and refute and we're going to put on an affirmative
4:19 pm
case tomorrow unlike the democrats the white house lawyers are not expected to use all of their time they will be a short morning session on saturday but their arguments are expected to start in earnest on monday donald trump has made it clear that he wants his case made in weekday t.v. primetime and not during the weekend the white house will argue that it was in the national interest to ask the ukrainian president for an investigation into biden and his son and potential conflicts of interest why did hunter biden hold a lucrative position at an allegedly corrupt ukrainian energy company despite having no expertise in the area while his father was vice president why they opened up the door and why does a double door. job. i guess they figure that was their way of getting ahead of it we will address it in addition they will argue that it is the democrats who are abusing their power as they seek to overturn the results of the 2016 election and influence the next and violate the
4:20 pm
constitutionally mandated separation of powers between congress and the president the sense here is that it's still very unlikely that any witnesses will be caught so the white house is still on track for an acquittal of the president before the state of the union address on february the 4th ever time see al-jazeera washington james warren is executive editor of news god he was the washington bureau chief for the chicago tribune and joins us now live via skype from chicago good to have you with us so the democrats have ended their opening arguments how did they do did they land a decisive blow. no i think on one level on their performance was a very methodical very efficient very systematic and if you had not been paying attention and that includes prison with some of the senators republican and democrat to the house hearings in recent months you would have gotten a superb summary of the evidence and. some new pieces of evidence particularly
4:21 pm
there i think fairly the fact that the video. testimony before the house committees and is that he or president trump. there was a big mess here and that trump probably did. but as your report just made clear is there much chance that some of the pins will not even vote with mrs it's looking exceedingly unclear and that this may be almost as preordained a vigorous passionate appeal that for the democrats all right so what can we expect from the white house lawyers when they begin the defense later. i don't i think that the defense will be absolute predictable and they will need all our plans to an audience of one with their boss donald trump as your report made clear he doesn't want to much of this on
4:22 pm
a saturday because master of television. is not many americans will be looking at a lot too or it's a basketball game or 2 miles away so i probably won't have a chance to look and someone wants to but most of the. higher audience curds on monday in terms that both are going to do is make this all the tickle say that this is by the democrats an attempt to basically deal in jiddah minds the whole process actually when it comes to war of the 2 charges because of which is obstruction of congress where a case can be made a. democrat or a little bit of preempt a brown courier and that they probably might have gone to the courts 1st and exhausted their possible remedies in the courts before coming this way that's going to be the rationalization that these so-called moderate republicans that the democrats believe they needed to lease for even get witnesses that could well be
4:23 pm
the rationalization that they hang their votes on in not having witnesses and that's going to be a top kill to client ok or the house managers leave the fact of prosecutors so we know how this is probably going to end but in the court of appeal of public opinion . will the public feel robbed if the president of the allowed to remain in office well what i have to see how what we're told sent the only one this is once it's all over i mean as you well know look at most of the polling it's still pretty polarized you may have. of stomach problems some republicans who think that something was wrong or trump went overboard but have not been totally convinced that the remedy there is to throw him out of office and there's also the question of how many people have really been paying attention i was looking at some ratings on the 1st big night and there are
4:24 pm
something like 7 or 8000000 americans looking primarily on the major cable news networks and by comparison there's no popular entertainment show color and c.i.s. that well 1000000 people so it's a fairly decent audience but it's not as if people in chicago are used. are talking all about this the grocery store when they go get their food to that extent i think trump itself but watch the managers come out today and try to make this all about politics and to bad mouth joe biden and say the president at a reason to try to investigate nefarious dealings by the vice president and his son craig and i think the democrats have really blown most of that argument to bits but now the president's men have it they want. 24 hours to keep repeating it and they will be. the modus operandi of their boss who will be watching
4:25 pm
for sure every single moment transcripts talk to me thanks to james more of that in chicago but the world will commemorate international holocaust day on monday but in germany there's growing concern that the rising levels of anti-semitism both new and old dominick came reports from east in germany. that and back makes much of its link with the mediæval protestant martin luther from here he would preach to the faithful but it's what he and this church said about another faith which remains controversial for in the 14th century this sculpture was placed on the outside of the building it's called the you wouldn't know or jewish south considered by most people to be a deliberately derogatory depiction of jews and judaism michael dillman is so incensed by it he's repeatedly gone to court to have it removed the humans are

there by side of the unions out selfless of terrible for sophistication of judaism rubbin ical judaism and the defamation of the jews falsified cation of judaism defamation insulting the jews the jewish people of israel with the terrible effect up to this day. the church shares his distaste with sense the sculpture should stay as a warning from history successive court rulings of up held that view as his antagonist the memorandum we're not happy about. it's a dilemma and we've got to reconcile with history and thereby try to reach reconciliation between judaism and christianity because the debate about this culture really matters because it's not just in resitting that such historical anti semitism is on show in fact there are similar so-called new one in and on churches right across this country. and how modern germans deal with anti semitism is
4:27 pm
perhaps best symbolized here at the holocaust memorial in berlin where one leading academic told me of the dangers anti semitism still poses today the jewish community leverage leaders are particularly pointing to those new groups new motives of anti-semitism that are occurring let's name it so wispy it was speaking of the so-called new right across europe saw a sort of amusing nationalism or monday the world will mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the auschwitz nazi death camp a moment to remember those murdered by mechanized anti semitism back in vision back a plaque lies under the you wouldn't dedicated to the many millions whose only crime was to have a different face one which depictions like the one above the plaque has been desecrated for centuries dominic cain al-jazeera in eastern germany.

4:33 pm
a dalit and doesn't i came here to make money and it's better than staying in your own country because here your mind is more free but now there isn't work like before you sometimes don't even have enough to eat. they won't openly say they want to go to europe that would provoke arrest but most not all want to joshua made that crossing and spent 6 years in europe before being deported from austria last year his dream was to become a rap artist but he found only hardship and difficulty in europe i can midmorning evil better than the people living abroad so i decided to work my morning and my computer and go back to my country and establish my talent because i'm a good musician. but you can tell from the drain faces that optimism among many african migrants is in short supply these africa workers do their jobs that they don't want to do they earn just a few dollars a day but it's still more than they can earn in their own countries they often live in basic deprived conditions but even so in some respects they are the lucky ones
4:34 pm
these migrants are some of the estimated 40000 detained in libya most were arrested trying to cross the mediterranean sea to europe at this center in zawiya west of tripoli there are almost 500 detainees some of whom have been held for 4 years many of applied for political asylum or settlement in europe it's a place of bad living conditions and broken dreams 16 year old adel de brett see on a skate political persecution in eritrea with a dream of a new life his life ended in a detention center in tripoli when he died in mysterious circumstances aid organizations say that getting explanations and access to migrant centers isn't easy it is a sovereign state and where we can advocate to. improve the conditions close the centers and find alternatives to this approach but. in the state that the country is in right now. it's very very difficult undertaking. the cash

strapped internationally recognized libyan government says it's doing its best under the circumstances but can't adequately help its own people who've been displaced in the conflict let alone migrants that's no comfort to a large who is from nigeria she's been in detention for nearly 4 years 3 of her 5 children have been born in centers and she's being caught trying to reach europe 4 times my kids are going through a lot of going through christ these. strikes going through their roots go on this is the. constant pressure and that's makes i'm not proud of my. own. myself cause i kept on asking myself why am i brought them to this award. but the migrants have learned to cope with hardship in limited choices they've had to the so-called crossing season with comma sees in the mediterranean is approaching and many will be making the choice of either sticking with what they have or
4:36 pm
gambling on a dangerous voyage and the unknown prospects in a europe which is not as welcoming as it once was tony berkeley al-jazeera tripoli . as you heard in tourney's report most of the migrants speaking held in libya were detained while attempting to reach europe aid agencies say that the conditions they're being kept in are appalling there are at least 4 and a half 1000 people in detention centers across libya thousands more are in prisons run by armed groups and the number of detainees is increasing last year the libyan coast guard intercepted nearly 9000 migrants who are trying to reach europe and the 12000 people have drowned since 2060 and one attempting the dangerous mediterranean crossing barrier. is a journalist and coeditor of critical perspectives on migration of the 21st century she joins us now live via skype from birmingham in the u.k. marianna good to have you with us why are things so bad in libya as i understand it
4:37 pm
the e.u. helps the libyan government with funding to look after these migrants why isn't the e.u. ensuring that they are looked after properly because they you cannot actually control the libyan state yes it does give funding for the detention centers but. it cannot do anything now but at the same time it found a state that is a failing state a state that it cannot control all the tribes within it. so how can it control what is going on in that the bench in centers ok and where are these people coming from why do they continue to use libya. as their route to europe libya is the only easy access to europe because it's in such an unbelievable mess because it's being controlled by smugglers and it's being controlled by the by gangs especially in the areas that
4:38 pm
are of their sub-saharan countries and those people come from countries that are. in conflict alone or it or they have been asked the human rights violations or countries where people live in this situation they wouldn't leave their countries if the if they had if they were safe or unsafe from poverty office or safe from conflict so what needs to happen to fix this problem to stop people making the journey in the 1st place and to ensure that if that those who have are looked after properly in libya and less and less worst of unless poverty stops and less conflict stops people will keep on moving and this is this has been happening for centuries is not something you know it's not something that started in turn 16. and we cannot improve libya because libya
4:39 pm
is a is a mess it doesn't have a successful government the only thing that can happen in the only thing that should happen is to provide safe passage because people will keep on moving and people will keep on crossing the sea and in order to prevent their deaths we should provide safe passage and by we i mean the european union very good story to many thanks indeed for being with us by our kind of thank you in birmingham. ceremonious will begin shortly to mark the 1st anniversary of brazil's worst industrial disaster at least 259 people were killed when a dam collapsed sending a tide of toxic waste into the city of burma daimio many of the families of the victims say that they're still waiting for justice al-jazeera is not a load traveled there is his report a security camera captured what happened exactly one year ago the collapse of the
