is astonishingly a part time in-depth analysis of the day's headlines this is the beginning for you iraq of the new conscious and aware youth about struggle against an ethnic sectarian colter inside story on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. hello nor in taylor this is the al jazeera news hour live from london coming up. i'm declaring a public close emergency of international concern the world health organization declares a global health emergency over the coronavirus. what we have seen over the last couple days is a descent into constitutional madness bitter words on a 2nd day of questions and answers in the impeachment trial of u.s. president donald trump. the surgeon syrian government astronauts on the u.s.s.

$700.00 found some people are fleeing towards the turkish border. and a man opens fire in new delhi on a crowd of more than a 1000 protesters against india's controversial citizenship law. and i'm peter simmons in doha with all your sport all domestic football in chinese postponed because of the coronavirus another talk of it beats roger federer to reach the final of the constraint you know that. the world health organization has declared the corona virus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern an expert panel has recommended international cooperation saying that while the response from china has been strong it could be a danger in the virus arriving in a country with a weak health system in china itself 170 people are now known to have died from the

virus with almost 8000 people infected globally and attempts to use hope the spread of continuing russia has closed its border with china while egypt air and ethiopian airlines have joined the tally of carriers avoiding chinese exports. the only way we will defeat this outbreak is for all countries to world to give the spirit of solidarity to incorporation all together and we can only stop it together this is the time for facts not for you this is the time for science not rumors this is the time for solidarity not stigma. joined now in the studio by al-jazeera crossman charlie angela what more did the committee have to say what they said they talked about the factors that have influence sr the increase in the number of cases within china but

also the increases in the number of countries it reported the coronavirus and that now stands at 18 after india finland and the philippines joined join the ranks. they were pains to praise china's efforts in containing the outbreak and said that if they hadn't done what they have done so far the deaths could be many but they also express concern like he said the countries with weak health systems and they said that support for them is now their priority they also made a couple of other recommendations. to share data which is what you would expect from the w.h.o. to combat rumors and misinformation to review preparedness plans and to give advice at the confusing signals though on travel restrictions we do know that more airlines have joined those who are stopping flights to china what was the w.h.o. messaging on that well their message was that. there should be no travel or trade restrictions put in place by countries and they would ask those countries to review

the data look at the science and revise those decisions which is quite surprising considering so far countries have been left up to their own devices when it comes to putting in protocols so in italy we had the grounding with the lock down of that cruise ship with $6000.00 passengers on board where there were 2 suspected cases of coronavirus it turned out that people had not been infected but let's just listen to what the show had to say on that point. or does it mean a travel restriction it means for example visa refused. border closure. sign of travelers who are in good condition why did you take this decision why what is the science supporting this decision could you reconsider this decision and we suggested to w.h.o. that w 2 should inform the world about transparency concerning these measures

which should not constitute an example to follow but the decision to reconsider so a number of airlines as you said have halted their flights to china they'll be listening very closely to the advice now from the w.h.o. but also a number of countries have been evacuating their nationals from will handle the epicenter of this virus and they will be bringing the u.k. is bringing back 150 nationals edgy to touch down in the u.k. on friday be interesting to see going forward if governments make a decision to evacuate their nationals from tyner challenger thank you very much. chicago health officials have reported the 1st american case of human to human transmission of the virus for more matt let's go to gabriel is on doe what more do we know about the new case in the u.s. . well it's troubling because the centers for disease control of the c.d.c. here in the united states announce that this is the 1st case so far of someone in

the united states giving it to someone else within the country the 1st case and that's what makes it so important it's a couple a husband and wife they're both in their sixty's they are from chicago illinois area the wife apparently had traveled to han province had returned back she developed signs of corona virus and then her husband did as well he did not travel to china at all the husband was taken to the hospital where they immediately ran tests and the tests came back positive that he does have it now he's right now in isolation in a hospital being looked at but the investigators are looking at this very closely to try to make any linkages on how this is being transferred transferred from one person to another and how quickly it can spread but clearly very troublesome now this will bring that to 6 the total number of people that have corona virus in the

united states would be one in the state of washington one in the state of arizona 2 in the state of california and now 2 in the state of illinois illinois the c.d.c. says that there are they are also testing more than 100 different people within the u.s. right now but those tests have yet to come back positive and gabriel given the guidance from the w.h.o. on american airlines continue to come back flights. they are the 3 main u.s. carriers which should be united american airlines and delta all have flights to china of course and they have all cut back their flights to china and to hong kong or over 330 flights canceled between those 3 airlines united airlines just today on thursday they have the most flights from the u.s. to china 24 flights a day that was recently cut back to 12 a day and now on thursday united saying that they are cutting it back to only 4

flights a day to china so that gives you an idea of what the airlines think about all this they're saying that they're doing it because there's just less people that are wanting to go to china now for obvious reasons but also i think their heating and health officials advice here within the united states just don't travel to china if you don't have to any flights that come from china to the u.s. of course are at risk of bringing people back that could be infected gabriel is on to thank you very much indeed well the outbreak of the current virus has sparked a massive surge in demand for protective mosques from the czech republic to south korea factories have been scrambling to fill orders and shops are selling out when he reports now from hong kong where actual residents were left queuing for hours to get their hands on one. concern is growing in hong kong but the number of coronavirus cases here could be about to sharply increase a shortage of face masks has resulted in long lines forming outside some shops as

people try to protect themselves as much as possible i'm starting here it's 2 am. this morning. so i've been waiting for all 6 to 7 hours. to get my ass to try to control the spread of the virus the hong kong government has suspended most rail and ferry services to and from the mainland. but some border crossings are still open and flights are operating which is led to criticism from many in hong kong who want all routes between here and china closed adding to the concern it's estimated as many as 300000 hong kong residents visited the mainland during the lunar new year holiday with many still to return government medical experts say the city needs to be on alert for more infections most of the confirmed cases in hong kong are being treated at this hospital where this week several nurses went on strike for a day as part of

a wider union protest against the government's response to the outbreak of the virus that threatening more strike action next week which could coincide with an increase in the number of cases in hong kong in tokyo a 2nd flight landed carrying japanese citizens evacuated from han as it did the government confirm some passengers on wednesday's 1st flight tested positive for the virus over which god says you're going the national institute of infectious diseases have reported to us 3 new cases of corona virus related diseases the city they left behind remains largely under lockdown most people are choosing to stay indoors but among the few signs of commerce delivery businesses of being kept busy taking medical supplies to hospitals my extravagant hope is to get some sleep as delivery man. we cannot be called great but there are many people out there who need medical supplies but there is a shortage of some equipment including kits needed to test patients because of that

many experts outside china believe the actual number of cases may be a lot higher than what the government is reporting wayne hey al jazeera hong kong. one of the world health organization has declared a public health emergency what changes are firstly it puts in place legal requirements that all countries must adhere to principally to share all information they gain on the virus and its spread including from people diagnosed with it it is recommended that all countries should be prepared for cases of the virus but in place active surveillance and isolation and case management protocols while the w.h.o. said no restrictions on travel were currently needed it says controls may be required on a temporary basis and that countries should report back if they put them in place war nor this i'm joined by mohammed monier who's a lecturer in viral legit lancaster university thanks very much for being with us now when we listen to the committee giving its decision about calling this a public health emergency on a global scale there was

a lot of praise for china do you think china has handled this as well as the committee seems to think it has. well if we make a comparison between the sauce cone alliance in tools and rituals of and make and caused mortality in more than 700. people so compared to that one this time the that is false has been significantly back tax information became available today in scientific community much earlier and the response has been quick and that really helped to develop new diagnostic and sensitive diagnostic gases that help to not only diagonals the patient but also to look on to the classical nature of the virus so certainly the efforts that are being made by china has been unprecedented but at the same time looking onto the scientific evidence is there has been few we areas where the cases for example are reported much lower than what they actually are when you say well you think that actually the scale of this is bigger than

china is admitting. that that is absolutely right because if you apply prediction tools and sort of predict that this would have been spreading the there have been days we are there cases are reported which are not really fitting into the cove indicating that there have been some cases those are not reported and then the other element is merely that the case the best case for this will want to know why disappeared in at the end of december but then there are evidence of strong evidence that indicates the disease has been there much earlier like at least 3 months before and so all those cases that have appeared before that there was never been in and calculation to me that. the issue of travel they said that they will probably have negative and they seem to be questioning the use of travel and trade restrictions saying that countries need to need to justify those do you think that's the right response. well that is one of my major criticism onto the public

health emergency is that if you look on to the scientific evidence as to how the disease has spread to other countries all people who have been infected abroad have direct or indirect links to people are covered from one meaning that travel has been the major source for spreading the infection not having any legislation at this moment on the travel or the trade is pretty really put the whole situation in a you know very made. and not justified as quickly on the virus itself can you tell us how it compares with previous similar outbreaks and why you think it's so dangerous well despite this is very close to the source scroll of august which appeared in 2003 it's based on the genetic make up this virus is their own 80 percent similar to the source coronavirus not only the genetic makeup but also the disease the way it has spread the cleaning cold sign it causes in the human well they are pretty similar however there are few things that making this white is a little unique than the source krone virus is that it is being spread in people

who are not showing any clinical sign and overall fitness of this one disappeared to be much quicker so that is probably one of the reason that we are having relatively less and all of the link that this 11 of us compared to sauce going to is given the competitive time i don't have i'm going to have one yes thank you very much indeed to have to thank you. still to come on out of their news hour protesters in sudan and not giving up keeping up the pressure for proper civilian representation. clashes in iraq for a 2nd week as a deadline to appoint a new prime minister nears. a new sport house super bowl organizers in miami a guarding against the threat of coronavirus. u.s. democratic congressman and house impeachment manager adam schiff is called arguments

made by president tom's noise a descent into constitutional madness he was speaking on the 2nd day of the question and also a phase of the senate pietschmann trial he was responding to an argument made by the president's lawyers that getting foreign help for a political campaign does not violate the constitution trumps alleged to have made aid to ukraine dependent on an investigation into a political rival. it's astonishing that on the floor of this body someone would make that argument now didn't begin that way in the beginning of the president's defense but what we have seen over the last couple days is a descent into constitutional madness because that way madness lies if we are to accept the premise that a president essentially can do whatever he wants in gage in whatever quid pro quo he wants now the only reason you make that argument is because you know your client

is guilty and dead to rights as going to hide your pastor who's at capitol hill so what's the latest from the question and answer session. lauren so still many senators submitting questions for clarification on that legal argument we heard introduced yesterday by trump's defense attorney alan dershowitz which need to go something like this that because the president believe that his own reelection would be in the public's interest that does soliciting even for an aide in getting him reelected this coming november goes the theory that trump was not acting just out of the social the selfish purpose of helping himself but also to help the country democrats responding to that you just heard adam schiff being very incredulous we also heard other democrats saying that this is a kinda watching the coronation of president trump with republicans holding his train senator cory booker another democrat told al-jazeera that this argument made

on the floor was even moral today is the last and final chance for senators from both sides to submit their questions to the 2 sides as this trial hurdles towards its conclusion what are the next steps. sure so today the questions will and then tomorrow there will be a vote on whether or not to end the trial pretty much then and there a likely with an acquittal given that this chamber is dominated by trump's own party the republicans or open this trial to more witnesses which could extend it for weeks on end and at the top of the list of witnesses that democrats want to subpoena is john bolton he's the former national security advisor to trump who has written in and still unpublished manuscript of a book that he has evidence that directly ties trump decision to withhold security

80 ukraine to the president's demand that ukraine announce investigations into joe biden democrats say that this is information that is worthy of being assessed by the senators in this legal setting and that the american people should also be considering meanwhile republicans who are still you know taking in this novel argument which is essentially says according to the president's attorneys that even if he did everything that john bolton and democrats accuse trump of doing that he should still not be impeached and removed from office so people are really watching to see what those moderate republican senators will do with that with these 2 arguments whether or not they will consider opening this trial to further witnesses to get more information out into the public how did you question thank you very much we're not joined by simon rosenberg he's the president of the new democrat network and a former visor to president bill clinton thanks very much for being with us so just on that issue of witnesses just going to be here do you think we'll end up hearing

from witnesses or do you think the republicans have the votes to block that. i think we'll find out tomorrow i mean if we don't hear from witnesses will be the 1st trial in 200 plus years of united states history where there were no witnesses i mean there is no such thing as a trial in our system without witnesses just to give your viewers some understanding of how extraordinary the events are here and the efforts that the senate is taking to cover up the president's misdeeds it's a disappointing time here in the united states so there's some suggestion that there might be superseded little methods that the minority leader chuck schumer might use to try and prevent it being a speedy trial which at any rate you have any clues about what's things he has in mind. this in this it is clear and evident that the president wants this over tomorrow you know the campaign begins in earnest next week here in the united states the presidential campaign you've got iowa on monday in the state of the union are the big speech the president gives every years on tuesday he wants this

finished in behind behind him and so there's tremendous pressure on the senate to end tomorrow you know my hope is that for republicans break from their their brother in and vote to allow the you know a few witnesses it would be normal and routine in any trial it should be expected in a trial of this magnitude that senators want the most information they can get i mean imagine that we haven't heard from a single eye witness and that the president has held back the people who have direct knowledge i mean people like john bolton and mick mulvaney his chief of staff who know what happened right or being prevented from telling their story to the american people into the senate it's a tragedy just that well one thing i mean politically isn't it dangerous in part at least for the democrats to have this keep on going to mention that campaigning us to go into some of the people who are stuck in the senate also have campaigns to randomly yeah. listen i have been talking about this a lot and i was an advisor to the house democrats during the election in 2018 and

worked with speaker pelosi and others and so i know all these people i will tell you that when the decision was made to go ahead with impeachment they had no idea whether it was going to be positive for them politically or negative it was done based on a sense of obligation and a sense that it just can't be that a president can commit felony level serious a serious serial level of felony level crimes and just get away with it and that in our system which was designed to check the power of an executive to make sure that we didn't go back to having a mad king running our our land like we did in the 18th century that you know that there was an obligation to rein in this out of control leader and it may end up at the end of the day he may be acquitted i don't think he'll be exonerated he's clearly guilty of the crimes least in my mind that he's committed and i think that our i think the most important thing is happening here is that the institution of

the institutions that have been so critical to making america a world power and such a virtuous nation are being dramatically weaken right now and i think we're going to be a different country next week i don't know that donald trump will be a monarch but he won't be a typical american president anymore either and i think the scale of what's happening here may be hard for people to understand but the nature of the united states may be changing permanently in the course of the next few days simon resnick thank you very much and if you're i say thank you. sure thank you. at least 23 people have been killed by a rebel group in eastern democratic republic of congo the allied democratic forces armed group is suspected to have been behind defensive in the city of beni brings the number of civilians killed this week to at least 59 on wednesday at least 36 people were killed in attacks which also took place in the east of the country. yes special envoy for syria says at least 200 ass trucks have hit province in the last

fire culprits used facebook's live broadcast feature to warn people that he was taking his final journey before the shooting but just as have gathered to rally against india's new controversial citizenship law which excludes muslims indian police have arrested the suspect gunman. there's a fair number was at the demonstration a says a similar incident occurred earlier this week at another major protest site in the capital. when you're johnny a millionaire is to me a university where a man shot at a protest is injuring one person who's being taken away to a hospital now mobile phone video of the incident shows the man brandishing a gun waving it at protesters and to the lists looking backwards to a line of police officers before being apprehended by police john media has beat one of the center of protest since the citizenship amendment act was passed by the indian government 7 weeks ago most of the rallies here have been peaceful and

people outweighed any os seeing how a man is allowed to enter with a gun and why he wasn't apprehended. now this is not the 1st such incident in the capital of earlier in the week and not the battles that are headed at another of one of these major protests sidestepping he. has a gun and these incidents occurred as members of the ruling thought of the job of the posse all the b j p having making statements saying that cases should be shot like killing the protesters that he bought 2. murderers and rapists. was. a head of the election. next week head. forces loyal to libya's un recognized government say they have shot down a russian made drone in southern tripoli the french president in one year macos

accused his turkish counterpart. of breaching an agreement to halt foreign interference in libya but who was accused of sending warships enough to the country well he does pledged not to interfere in libya's conflict and vowed to uphold a u.n. arms embargo at a summit earlier this month. well the u.n. special representative for libya has expressed anger and disappointment at countries involved in the conflict there are unscrupulous actors inside and outside libya who cynically nod and wink towards efforts to promote peace and bias left their support for the u.n. meanwhile they continue to double down on a military solution raising the frightening specter off a full scale conflict and further misery for the libyan people. thousands of protesters have gathered in the capital of sudan to call for military governors to be replaced they were civilians to take the roles and

a transit transitional legislative council to be formed and emotions were enshrined in the country's constitution after former long time ruler over on bashir was removed from office last year as she dons prime minister said achieving peace is his 1st priority every moment was at the rally and says people are becoming impatient. once again thousands of people have taken to the streets here in the sudanese capital khartoum most of them have gathered outside the office of prime minister out the law who was appointed in august last year following a deal between the military and the protest movement known as the forces of freedom and change coalition now today's protests have been called for by the sudanese professionals association the body that has been spearheading calls for protests since december 28th seen and they're demanding that the prime minister and his cabinet appointed guardian governors in all 18 states of sudan to replace the current military governors and to form a legislative council those 2 demands are included in the constitutional

declaration that was signed between the protest movement and the military we need immediately the government to take care of this because the situation that economical situation in sudan is not good at all we suffer no transport and you know that people are just waiting to get bread and this story is going back and looking at the transitional council was supposed to be formed 5 months ago we're not supposed to be protesting for it today it was one of the 1st amman's in the fact i have to go out to mounting for it is wrong and people should rush to form it . but when it comes to responding to the demands of the protesters today the prime minister and his cabinet may face some issues at the trial the prime minister has previously stated that achieving peace in various parts of the country is his 1st priority and the transitional administration has embarked on peace talks between itself and various armed groups in the south sudanese capital juba they've already

signed something called the principles agreement and as part of that agreement they cannot be an appointment of any civilian governor or the formation of a legislative assembly and till a comprehensive peace deal is signed but people here are saying that they're impatient and that the reason why the country's economy is in turmoil and that there are various insecurity incidents happening not just in the capital khartoum but various other states as well are because there are no civilian governors in place and there's no legislative council and they're saying that they're here to put pressure on the prime minister and his cabinet to let them know that they're here to guard their revolution and make sure that their demands are listened to and heard and that they're there to make sure that the the articles of the constitution declaration are implemented so that they can feel that their revolution is complete israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has visited moscow to brief the russian president on a u.s. plan for the middle east is president of trump's proposal recognizes israeli sovereignty over west bank settlements considered illegal by most of the

abused pellet rifles for the 1st time in attempt to disperse anti-government protesters in baghdad clashes have continued in the iraqi capital for 2nd week as protesters threw rocks at police who responded with live fire and tear gas just as angry at unemployment and alleged corruption with a 450 of them have been killed since demonstrations broke out 4 months ago rox president has given rival political blocks until saturday to appoint a new prime minister imran khan has been among the protesters in baghdad he says the security forces are trying to push demonstrators back to square. that's what the square just down there where classes have been ongoing for days now you can see the protesters they knew full well i do already in the last 5 or 6 minutes we've seen to gas being fired we've also heard life going on now the baghdad operations command has urged the protesters to go back to tucker

a square where they say they are allowed to protest what they doing is they don't want them moving any further away from here now just a few days ago we were told what the police were trying to do was to push the protesters back into town for a square however the protesters have moved forward they've been here for days now way these have been the scenes on going now the protesters say their demands haven't been listened to there's still no new prime minister and new elections so they want to try and keep up the pressure and that's exactly what they doing. thousands of central american migrants have tried and failed to make their way into the united states in the past year many of been sent back to mexico while the country has prevented war from even reaching the northern border said some people to say that mexico is now the main enforcer of president trump's migration policy a strong home and report. that. this was

a border caravan of thousands of honduras expected when they entered mexico there you 2 know right there in a big gas does from where parents are here with their children. but this kind of crackdown on migrants is what president trump's come to rely on his southern neighbor to do. may not have his will yet the miscarriage become the next best thing a web of checkpoints cover the south and president nope is obrador even deploy the new national guard to stop those from whom do this they'll salvador getting to the u.s. if makes chris become trumps will the question is why this all comes from june 2019 when donald trump basically said that unless we mexicans contain the flow of people from the border he was going to impose a specific tax a fee of up to 10 percent to every single expert in mexico from mexico that terror
