a lot that's not known about it and as you mentioned a lot of travel restrictions down in the epicenter the province of a province and the city itself will honduras 1st discovered heavy travel restrictions there but then you look at countries and territories of china and provinces of china putting on their own restrictions of people who are from there and coming back in stand that's going to be a big issue come toward the end of the week because this lunar new year holiday even though it's been extended is going to come to an suv a lot of people from there trying to get back to where their jobs are we've already seen some very very busy scenes from some of the high speed rail stations here in beijing the corona virus outbreak is sending jitters through global financial markets. will be on tuesday as china took drastic steps to control the virus indices in the u.k. france and germany deep don't feel as if the potential economic impact china's you honestly to its lowest level this year of 15 commodity linked currencies like the australian dollar. is asia business editor. he explains where

the economic fallout will be felt most. there are 2 forces that drive financial markets and that's greed and fear and right now with all the uncertainty surrounding the virus and the impact the potential impact that it's going to have it is that fear element that is driving the markets dition lee when market traders are faced with such a scenario what they switch who is a default risk off. mode as it were so what that means in practical terms is that they're going to be selling off things like stocks commodities like oil for example so what that money goes into what they consider to be safe haven assets like the japanese yen and u.s. treasury bonds gold for example gold prices have surged to their highest level

since about 2013. in the markets over here in asia we've seen a big selloff in places like korea remember a lot of markets are still closed for the chinese new year including china and hong kong. but when these markets open up chances are they're going to see a big sell off just like you pointed out in europe in america we've had big sell offs overnight on all 3 of the big major indices in the u.s. and that is once again feeding through into the markets over here. the. pressure is growing from us democrats for a key witness to testify at donald trump's impeachment trial but what the president's former national security advisor john bolton to appear before the senate following his claims trouble. with an investigation into rival joe biden.

we now have a 3rd witness who is apparently a direct witness to the president's tying of military aid to investigations of bastard bolton we could not have made a more powerful case for calling him then the case the president's lawyers just did in trying to contest that link between military aid investigations so once again they underscored the importance of john bolton as a as a witness who would corroborate exactly what the uncontested evidence that the house put on shows that president trump used hundreds of millions of dollars of military aid to coerce an ally to conduct these political sham investigations. tester has more now on the call for bolton to give evidence democrats say the new information from john bolton that trump directly linked to u.s. security aide to his demand that ukraine announced investigations into joe biden could significantly bolster the impeachment case this is stunning it goes

right to the heart of the charges against the president. ambassador bolton essentially confirms the president committed the offenses charged in the 1st article of impeachment that article is abuse of power for allegedly putting his personal interests above that of the united states trump denies the allegation he's characterized bolton once his national security adviser as a disk run toward former employee who wants to sell more books i haven't seen him at this group but i can tell you nothing was ever said to john but i have not seen a baby. i guess he's writing a book i haven't answered but several moderate republican senators appear to have been moved by bolton's revelations only for republicans would need to side with democrats to cold bolton to testify i think it's increasingly likely that the republicans will will join those of us who think we should hear from john bolton inside the senate chambers the president's legal team ignore the bolton development

completely not a single witness testify that the president himself said that there was any connection between any investigation and security assistance a presidential meeting or anything else by the end of the week the u.s. senators will likely vote on whether to call bolton and other witnesses but with or without witnesses the odds remain squarely in the president's favor it would take a 2 thirds majority of the republican controlled chamber to remove trump from office castro al-jazeera washington richard good stain is a democratic strategist and former outside adviser to the clinton white house during the 9099 impeachment trial he says republicans are adamant about not letting key witnesses be hood in the senate hearing. the complaint from republicans has been well we haven't heard firsthand from anybody who actually spoke directly with the president hearing him say that he was predicating the delivery of this military

aid on political favors by presidents alinsky well john bolton is that person and he's written about it. but i will tell you this to so people watching don't get their hopes up i think most of the republicans have set their mind that there will not be witnesses no matter what i mean it's an odd argument on one hand they claim well we haven't heard firsthand but they don't actually want to call the people that have 1st hand experience and i think it's a simple political calculus which is donald trump knows and senate republicans know that if they're witnesses they will not reflect well on president trump and therefore if there are witnesses they will make him weaker and by result make the senate republican candidates weaker well if you're one of those you don't want that to happen to you so people come up with all sorts of convoluted explanations i'm sure but again the day i'm fearful that there will not be witnesses and this trial
