choice to enslave people and america's debt to the black people today some other source even scared to speak out because it's a brand new. al-jazeera correspondent a moral debt. this is al-jazeera. the whole robin you're watching the al-jazeera news our live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes the world health organization declares coronavirus a global health emergency as the death toll exceeds 200 began under. president xi jinping has expressed china's willingness to work alongside the w.h.o. try to says it's willing to work with the global community but are countries taking

the right approach also they have gone to extraordinary lengths to put a muzzle on john bolton democrats keep up the pressure on donald trump's impeachment trial as they seek to hear from a key witness. in a senator's debate his future in washington president trumpets to iowa where the 1st votes of campaign 2020 will be cast in just a few days. and the mission accomplished nasa bids farewell to the spitzer space telescope. to the news of the world health organization has designated the coronavirus as a global health emergency there is spirit treat disease has now killed more than 200 people in china exceeded 8000 confirmed cases of infection and spread to 18. in

other countries although the w.h.o. has no legal authority to sanction countries it has asked governments to provide scientific justification for the travel restrictions they've imposed just as countries around the world work to evacuate their nationals from a province the epicenter of the disease charlie small declaring an international public health emergency is rare but with the corona virus spreading globally the world health organization says it warrants a coordinated international response i'm declaring a public close emergency of international concern. over the global outbreak of normal call a number of voters the main reason for this declared mission is not because of what is happening in china but because of what is happening in other countries greatest concern is the potential for the virus to spread to countries with

weaker systems and we ill prepared to deal with it. countries like india one of the latest report cases is the respect to disease until now individual nations have made their own decision in response to the outbreak in italy more than $6000.00 tourists were under locked out aboard a cruise ship near rome after 2 chinese passengers displayed flu like symptoms the couple were put into isolation until their test results came back negative for corona virus. meanwhile evacuations of foreign nationals from we continue turkey sent a military cargo plane to bring back $35.00 turkish and 10 azerbaijani citizens and their families all including the crew will now be put under quarantine for 14 days the e.u. is bringing back another 350 europeans on a flight into portugal and 150 british nationals will touch down in the u.k.

on friday this as a number of commercial airline suspended flights to china a decision the w.h.o. is now asking them to revise why did you take this decision why is the science supporting this decision could you reconsider this decision. we suggested. that w.h.y. should inform the world. transparency concerning these measures which should not constitute an example to follow but the decision to reconsider for china the w.h.o. only had praise for the efforts to contain the virus but it is still spreading fast and message what will protect us is not in a version but solidarity and cooperation charlie angela al-jazeera our correspondent gave. the global response from washington d.c.

just bring us up to speed now that the w.h.o. have announced this as a public health emergency what we know is going on globally. well we're knowing that there are more cases that are popping up almost by the hour we're hearing in italy at least 2 new cases from there and italy the 1st european union country to block all flights going in to to china we're also hearing from germany as as well 5 cases now in germany that number has gone up and here in the united states we've heard here on thursday the 1st case of a person to person. contamination or transport of this disease here in the united states in the state of illinois this was a husband and wife in their sixty's the wife was in china she came back apparently the husband then had signs of illness was taken a hospital in the tests came back positive for

a krone virus on the husband so those are cases now in the united states 6 total in the united states that was the 1st person a person though that we saw here and over 100 different cases people being tested in the united states but their results have not yet come back positive so while the c.d.c. is saying this we also are seeing these cases they continue to spread and spreading globally. for the moment gabriel we'll leave it there thanks very much for the update let's cross over to john he's a senior scholar of the john hopkins university center full health security and joins us now from pittsburgh in pennsylvania good to have you with us. i think you could just see our international viewers if you just off the beginning i mean what is the virus and how sort of does it present it cells when identified in the human body. so this virus is part of a large family of viruses called coronaviruses and there were 6 known coronavirus

before this new discovery 4 of them caused common cold like symptoms and were responsible for about 25 percent of our common colds that everybody separate from the year 2 of them are more severe sars and mers middle east respiratory syndrome which had this capacity to cause severe disease in this virus this kind of it's gets into that family and it has some characteristics of sars and it has some characteristics of some of the other coronaviruses what's really important to understand is we don't understand the severity yet we know there are people that have died but we don't know how many mild cases there are in the symptoms are very much overlapping with the flu for example so fever chills cops or throat runny nose very nonspecific upper respiratory symptoms which can make it very hard to diagnose in the early stages so when the world health organization and i'll say global a c how should we as the public career act to this. it all depends upon where you're located so right now in places like china this is really

a public health emergency where there is there are cases circulating in the community where people have to take protective actions in places like the united states where i am this is very well contained but just 6 cases in no sustained community based spread there actually is no community based spread going on in any of the exporting countries there's been no deaths in any of the exporting countries so that's an important reassuring thing but what this declaration will do will send a message to the world that this is an important outbreak that we need to break bring resources to we need to align our response to this outbreak we need to think about how we're going to move forward in cope with this outbreak and we need to discourage countries from taking punitive action such as travel bans trade restrictions that will only make the operate worse the words public always comes to mind when you have these sorts of pandemics being released globally is is is or all governments panicking too much or not enough or is that the right way to be using at this moment well i do think that you're going to see over reaction

from certain countries that may be under reaction from certain countries so for example quarantining a whole ship full of passengers 6000 passengers that probably was an overreaction so i do think you have this this content and see to overreact that happens in certain countries because people are nervous and they're scared this is something new we don't understand the severity that's going to happen but hopefully the w.h.o. declaration will lead to recommendations and guidance that will help to minimize in the overreaction and under reaction and sort of right size the response of this outbreak and of course i suppose there is a difference between the rural areas industrialized countries a lesser industrialized countries because the w.h.o. is said that really also trying to help results those countries whose health services don't quite come up to the mark how important is the. it's very important so what we're seeing is that there is this ability that this virus has to transmit between humans and the fact that we're not seeing it in certain countries really

speaks to how well the public health system and health care systems work to isolate those patients monitor their contacts and limit exposure that may not always be the case if you have patients in areas where the health care system isn't robust where the public health system isn't well equipped to deal with that in weeks we've seen that for example with ebola outbreaks in the in west africa in 2040 not every health care system can handle these types of cases in the same way so it is important those places who need help can actually get the help and get the guidance in order to prevent any kind of transmission in their countries it's been great to get your insights our best at all joe thanks for joining us from john hopkins university there in pennsylvania thank you. well 1st of all head on that these are including asteroids kill at least 21 civilians in syria as it did the province. facing the music her british artists are grappling with the changes greg sips may

make to the music industry. and it's all of the talk of its present to the australian tennis open file he's a major. democratic prosecutors have been trading barbs with the u.s. president's defense team in a 2nd day of questions a double trumps impeachment trial his lawyers arguing that whatever the president does to boost his reelection prospects a say in the public interest and therefore not impeachable democrats say they're trying to pull lies lawlessness trumps accused of making aid to ukraine dependent on an investigation into a political rival. we're discussing the possible impeachment and removal of the president of the united states not only during election season in the heart of the election season and i think that this does

a disservice to the american people again we think the basis upon which this is moved forward is your regular to say the least 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 engage 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 or we have 2 correspondents covering the latest on the impeachment trial a vicious. rally in des moines iowa the 1st let's cross over to capitol hill where heidi jocasta is standing by and heidi let's start with the debate it's obviously

continued today we've seen the debate about calling witnesses to the stand i mean one of the main takeaways from the 2nd day of questions announces a stay. well so today started with democrats really expressing their outrage at this novel legal defense argument that we heard that essentially says because the president believes that his own re-election would benefit the country that him asking for foreign interference to help his reelection does is not an impeachable offense now we saw the attorney alan dershowitz who made that argument actually walk it back a bit on twitter saying that it had been his characterize and he notably hasn't been one of the principal speakers on the president's team today but we heard democrats reacting saying that argument if followed through to its conclusion is like watching the coronation of president trump with republicans holding his

training center cory booker a democrat spoke to al jazeera and said that this argument was moral and through the rest of the day we've heard some of the same talk you talking points repeated on both sides with the president's defense attorneys saying that he had done nothing wrong and that these articles of impeachment are deficient all democrats arguing that if the republicans simply blindly support this president who they think is flouting constitutional norms that is essentially playing with fire and threatening the very democratic of the country of course this is all teeing up to that important question of witnesses which we expect to be decided tomorrow indeed of course not because it's all about the vote friday and whether those witnesses will will be called depending on the voting fluting john bolton the former national security adviser the other one we can all be finished by the weekend. it could be so there will be discussing this for at least half the day tomorrow

will be deliberations on whether or not to call witnesses john bolton who you mention he is at the top of the list for witnesses that the democrats want to bring in because of course he wrote a book whose manuscript reportedly says that bolton heard the president directly tie security aid to ukraine his decision to withhold that aid to the president's demand for investigations on his political rivals so democrats want to call bolton to the stand they need to convince at least 4 republican senator colleagues to cross the aisle that is if all this all the democratic senators vote yes on calling bolton and only then with that bipartisan support could they make that happen the other scenario is if this goes purely down partisan lines then the way they answer to these witnesses question would be no with republicans likely to move immediately on that final vote to likely acquit the president heidi thanks for the update so

let's cross over to elevation now joins me now from des moines in iowa and of course in the caucuses really begin on monday but democrats have already been campaigning in the state for months i suppose really the president feels does he comes to believe he can now to head to campaign and despite what's going on in washington. well i think if you watch back 4 years at that point donald trump who is fighting for his political survival who is behind in the pool before the iowa caucuses in the end of 32nd it took a victory in new hampshire to propel him towards the presidency he is 4 years on again looking at the political abyss perhaps this time slightly more rusian with the unlikely event of 2 thirds of the senate pushing for his removal from office sent. only if you look across iowa the democrats have been dominating the airwaves

you everywhere you go you see forster. people drumming up support for the caucuses on monday but every single local t.v. channel is here and most of them will be taking donald trump live he's still the president is still big news and he will be dominating the headlines when we talk about impeachment almost certainly what's he going to say well he's going to revisit the same old theme that it's a hoax and he should not be on trial and certainly speaking to the people he had as i have been doing over the last few hours that is something that they would back up they also think that what is happening in washington is a hoax and this president should be allowed to get on with his job by not only that but he'll be in prime position to house for. the general consensus of the people that you've been speaking to certainly tom supporters about this whole scenario of the impeachment or what they actually think about it. you

know so you remember 4 years ago i was on the campaign trail with donald trump then went to events like this all over the country and at that point you got the feeling that people came along you know if you were asked to see the picture show because donald trump was a box office draw he was the one that was generating all the headlines in there were many people who weren't entirely convinced that donald trump would be president but they want to see what all the fuss is about speaking to people here over the last 3 hours that he's change the people that are coming here know are die hard supporters and they believe that he has done a great job not just a good job you never hear people say don't jump well he's ok they believe he's done a great job they point to what's happened over the last couple of days where the so-called peace process for the middle east with the signing of the new trade deal with. to canada and mexico and the to the point to the stock market and the law

unemployment rate and they think he's doing a great job and they don't see why he should not get 4 more years and if you speak to who they fear moist they don't care they really don't care they think that donald trump has got such a growing well of support in key states like here in iowa that he is going to be president again come november but when the democrats fight it out. president trump obviously you know is there to rally support for his own campaign in terms of the democratic side of things alan i mean how has the campaign gone there because they have been sort of slightly distracted have they not by what's been going on in washington and unable really to get off the campaign trail that they have been called back to to speak in the house all anywhere else certainly in the capital. igs exactly when you think that poor senators have not been here to campaign it's made it a slightly different election campaign and if you think it's well. sure you.

are among the front runners here in then that makes it even more or you've got to remember that when it comes to iowa if you finish outside the top 3 there is no party has ever normally it's someone who has finished in the top 3 in iowa so the battle is on the other thing about iowa it's important you know always tend to throw up a surprise either someone winning or someone coming 2nd let's go back some time and then there was a senator from illinois who surprised everyone by talking to paul was barack obama that's what our iowa is capable of so it's been a different sort of campaign but we're seeing the people who are rallying support for their candidate and we'll see if the polls are correct the last call we saw joe biden bernie sanders neck in neck elizabeth warren sitting in charge in the call but sure he put it gedge fighting it out for court many people came to i was hoping

that they'll be fighting for the presidency come november there's going to be a few campaigns that are going to end a nice noise here in iowa in the next few days of we'll leave it there because we will be coming back to you of course through the day to see what president trump has to say there and i'll and thank you. the u.s. special envoy to syria says that at least $200.00 are strikes hit the last rebel held province in the last 3 days and estimated 700000 people in italy have been and fleeing towards the turkish border over the past 24 hours at least 21 civilians have been killed in government strikes backed by russia a hospital in the city of was among the sites hit victoria gave the reports. this is what's left of al shami hospital in the province. we were at home with their kids when a russian warplane carried out an aerial raid against a hospital and also a residential area people are fed up with life here we don't know where to go no

one can help no one can protect us from these attacks. many of the patients here have been injured and evacuated to other hospitals dozens of medical facilities have been destroyed in airstrikes in recent months say these facilities were attacked deliberately. i work in the rehab hospital it was directly targeted the hospital is not operating now and is completely destroyed due to the direct shelling so many were killed in dozens wounded the syrian civil defense group known as the white helmets all say blames russian warplanes for the attack. the russian warplanes targeted a hospital hundreds surrounding residential areas in a real and 3 air raids civil defense units rushed to the scene and were trying to evacuate a woman and a boy under the rubble. rusher is supporting syrian government forces and has denied bombing a real hospital moscow insists it avoids attacking civilian targets turkey's

network or saying in the u.k. britain leaves the european union at midnight on friday after years of wrangling about how to order the result of a 2016 referendum on the bishop many sectors have raised concerns about the impact brics it will have on business not least the music industry which wants to ensure musicians can carry on talking freely ever hayward reports. hersh. writing about love to travel and is that spirit says along the way hasn't john smith a fan base in the u.k. . and he spends a quarter of his touring time in mainland europe every year like many artists who live in the e.u. he's been able to work with out of what life will be like in the future isn't there you can organize a tour bus or amsterdam cologne. buy off copenhagen

buy off. and you can do it all on the train so if it gets really expensive to tour europe for a little financial gain then it could be a tough choice i think for people at my level british artists have benefited from decades of being allowed to work freely in the e.u. and sell them merchandise at no extra cost it is a reciprocal arrangement leaving the e.u. means that will and unless a future negotiations allow it u.k. music and the artistic producer has always been central to the global music industry and is highly valuable to western estimated $6700000000.00 to the u.k. economy most musicians work on a free lance basis don't earn big money and some play in different orchestras so go back and forth figure every week so the musicians union which represents more than 32000 artists is pressing the u.k. government to ensure that members can still thrive in a post. draper had

big success in the ninety's with his band and now works as a solo artist and producer when i go into an exclusive voluble for the fans we can just run your no problem but when we try to take it to china we can get it with. so things are going to change. and whatever the trade deal is looking at. the terms we've got already the u.k. government told us it is holding talks with the creative industry and it said a world class orchestras and musicians make an invaluable contribution to the u.k.'s cultural reputation around the world we are continuing to work closely with the sector to ensure the needs of musicians are considered as part of our preparations believing the e.u. . many artists will tell you that the power of music is that it has no borders no flags that it's all about bringing people

it out as iraq has teams on the ground that say that they're against the united to play a more role modeling documentaries and live news. it's . all. talk about what you have is there a news hour with me so ho rob a reminder of our top stories the world health organization has declared the corona virus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern more than 200 people are now know to have died from the virus in china with at least 8000 confirmed cases of infection. also a growing number of allies around the world have been canceling flights to the

chinese made land in response to the outbreak russia is also closing several direct border crossings with china and the czech republic has announced temporary visa restrictions for chinese citizens. also donald trump's trial defense team has told u.s. senators that the president should not be impeached for doing anything to do says reelection prospects democrats say they're trying to normalize enormousness. back to our top story now governments globally are grappling with the challenge of how to get the citizens out of china's who had city they are the center of the coronavirus where millions of residents now live under virtual lockdown but pakistan is divakar everyone leaving hundreds of foreign students in limbo because the gauge reports. inside the city of new han the epicenter of the coronavirus the streets are unusually quiet come run on a pakistani student has been confined to his dormitory but his briefly left to buy

food like many others he's stuck in a city that's under lockdown pakistan has announced the health risks are too high to evacuate any of its citizens all the foreigners and all the chinese are well aware of all the precautionary layers and you can see like we always try to be at home and try to be as much alone as possible across the border in pakistan want to know about your health and current situation in your city it's been an anxious wait for cameron's family who want him home. but the concern my family is very concerned my parents are very concerned and we are very. concerned about his conduct his movements his food his care at least 4 pakistani students studying in we han have been infected by the virus the city is in education hard with more than 30 colleges and universities hosting students from around the world many are

feeling isolated hoping they can get out but pakistani officials say quarantine regulations prevent it from evacuating more than $500.00 of its citizens there but in contrast to other countries including neighboring india and bangladesh which are working to bring their citizens home. our loved ones who are in china at the moment we are not going to evacuate them and it's better for them and for the larger interests of the region this is what the w.h.o. is advising for more than 50000000 people locked in and around we han it's an uncertain future with the world waiting to see if this virus can be contained nicolas cage al-jazeera. palestine's a bus in. the united nations says there's no way any official will consult with the u.s. over what he calls the earthquake of a middle east plan comes after america's own representative said that she was ready

to talk about the future of a palestinian state our diplomatic editor james bays reports from u.n. headquarters in new york there's still be no security council meeting about the trump middle east plan the u.s. ambassador kelly crafters not briefed her colleagues but she did come to speak to reporters outside the chamber in the days to come that will be able to work with the countries that were very positive and hopefully have more dialogue and i'm open to conversation with mandatory what is there in this deal for the palestinians to like doesn't this just reward 'd israel for illegally taking palestinian land over many decades you know i think i think what you say is a dialogue that has become normal and we need to move away from that dialogue because it's not normal and we need to focus on the palestinian the children the future of a palestinian state she says she's prepared to discuss the plan with the palestinian ambassador to the u.n. but he made it clear to me it's a meeting he won't be taking there is not

a single palestinian official will meet with american officials now after the subnet it at an earthquake the essence of it the destruction over the national aspersions over the palestinian people that is the palestinians and the united nations no israel may declare its sovereignty over settlements in the west bank sooner rather than later secretary-general what's your message to israel on possibly an ex in the settlements. it's very clear that her statement is very clear on that he didn't answer so i put the question to his spokes person for our position. last week last month last year and today remains the same is that according to security council resolution $2334.00. israeli settlement activities are flagrant violations under international

law i mean that's that's been our position the focus now will be on palestinian diplomatic outreach at the weekend president mahmoud abbas will attend an emergency meeting of the arab league in karo just over a week later he'll be at the african union. and then on for the 11th he'll attend a meeting here of the u.n. security council james pays out of the united nations. u.s. president. the small town of this in the occupied west bank has a potential capital for a palestinian state in his proposed middle east plan but as mohammed germ june explains residents there say they don't want the distinction nothing much surprises in and around what rod anymore the 62 year old palestinian spends a lot of time in his garden trying to enjoy life but politics constantly intrudes his hometown is once again in the headlines and iran can't make sense of it. so

i've been out with it with all my respect to our bodies and there's a son of lebanese that's not qualified to be the capital and it doesn't even have qualifications to become a city it's needs a lot of things 1st of all it's surrounded by the wall from many directions the possibility to expand and to become developed is very difficult this small town is getting a lot of attention now because of u.s. president donald trump's proposed middle east peace plan where it was suggested as a potential capital of a palestinian state. on a nearly empty street younger residents of up with these gathered looking for something fun to do i asked 1000 year old now that hamish what he thinks about mr trump's proposal it's impossible to have as a capital because jerusalem remains the capital in our hearts all that they said was england paper and it's not useful it's worthless. pieces close to jerusalem's old city residents say it feels further and further away israel's separation wall blocks most of the view but from some vantage points you can still see the aqsa

mosque compound. the idea of having a play a larger and more significant role in palestinian politics is not a new one this structure behind me was for a time in the mid 1990 s. intended to how was the palestinian parliament but the building was never finished many palestinians felt completing its construction would indicate that i would these had in fact been selected as a future capital of a palestinian state something they did not want to happen and something all the residents we spoke with still don't want to see become a reality and lastly right now our capital is to resell them and we don't accept any other option no matter what they sale what they do history shows that people's rights will be returned to them resolve running deep through a palestinian town that's not seeking the spotlight even though it's been thrust into it. would be nice in the occupied west bank i said to africa

now a protest doesn't sudar have been continuing black holes for officials to keep the promises made after the removal of the country's former president they say the government still doesn't have proper civilian representation the military has been in charge since x. need to overhaul the share was ousted last year it will cause more from the capital khartoum. once again thousands of people have taken to the streets here in the sudanese capital hot assume 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 10th to 18 and they're demanding that the prime minister and his cabinet appointed to valliant 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 this economic situation in sudan is not good at all we suffer no transport and you know that kills people are just waiting to get bread and this story is going back and looking at the city 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 in part 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 hard 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 . and. police and protesters have clashed in india's capital after. being a peaceful rally it's the latest outbreak of violence and weeks of nationwide protests against a citizenship law passed last month which critics say discriminates against muslims

infrared cameras capable of looking through the dust a day brianna get together images that even the hubble space telescope can't do by cather explains. this is the last image the spitz transmitted back to earth the tarantula nebula named after the filaments of gas that resembles spiders legs stretched out across the cosmos. it was one of the telescopes 1st observation targets when it was launched 16 years ago and spencer allowed us to again look at things lift the cosmic veil and see the super massive black holes that we couldn't see previously since then it has revealed twice as many galaxies as any other observatory and most importantly perhaps advanced human knowledge of black holes and the birth and death of stars spitzer's operational life was expected to be 5 years at the most but even after its helium fuel ran out the telescope continue to
