join me mary up front as i put it up for questions to my special guests and challenge them to some straight talking political debate here on al-jazeera. the or. this is al-jazeera. hello there i am how my hits an end so how the al-jazeera news are coming up in the next 60 minutes. time's up britain leaves the european union after 47 years. this is the bit with the dawn breaks and goes up on the u.s. our great national drug. donald trump could be days away from being acquitted in

his impeachment trial as the u.s. senate rejects calls for witnesses to give evidence. foreigners who travel to china in the past fortnight and i banned from entering the u.s. as the coronavirus death toll rises again. and the sheer destruction of a tyrant in syria after a bombardments by governments and russian forces last in days. well there's been drawn i debate still is an division in the house no officially left the european union.

well the departure was greeted with cheers by progress and cried see gathered outside parliament for the count and becomes more than 3 years after a referendum but the need for it's not really won the u.k. now enters a transition period with ease you want a new trade agreements negotiated speaking shortly before the u.k. left the blog prime minister boris johnson heard citizens to come together to move the country forward. and many people this is an astonishing moment of hope a moment they thought would never come and there are many course you feel a sense of anxiety and loss and then there's a 3rd group perhaps the biggest who had started to worry that the whole political wrangle would never come to an end i understand all those feelings and our job as the government my job is to bring this country together now and take us forward the most important thing to say tonight is that this is not an end but

a beginning this is the moment when the dawn breaks and the curtain goes up on a new act in our great national drama well john hall is in london he says the still a long road ahead for the u.k. government's. there couldn't be much bigger official celebrations here there were no fireworks displays it was all pretty low key it seems the government keen not to put on a show great triumphalism to deepen the sort of wounds that are very clearly felt in this country boys johnson is all too aware that his victory in december the beer me a fact of bricks and as well have both come at a significant cost both to divided communities sad hurt anxious people on the other side of the divide damage that has been done in the tumultuous 3 and a half years leading to this point to bedrock institutions like parliament behind me i could you just like the civil service the very union in this united kingdom is under threat or is johnson this evening promising to level opportunities north and

south of this country big infrastructure spending big public service spending it's money that the but the government will have to borrow in all likelihood in addition to all of that he's got 11 months now to make a trade deal with the united kingdom as a transition period until the end of the year not much will change until then but 11 months is perilously short experts will tell you it takes years that means they'll probably be a bare bones deal something very simple with a whole series of additional deals to come in years to come that will only increase uncertainty for business at a time when the bank of england has just this week downgraded growth prospects for this country symbol tenuously trade deals to be done with the united states with china with india with japan all these great promises of brics it to come. while brics it's officially happens the u.k. is still a long way off from disentangling itself from the e.u. charly angela explains. just because it has happened it doesn't mean the story is

over britain has now left the easy institutions and lost its vote in the e.u.'s bodies but the 11 month transition period means almost everything else stays the same it's now crucial for the u.k. that it so it's a trade deal with the e.u. the u.k. is still signed up to e.u. rules but can negotiate a new deal up until the 31st of december can a deal be done by then well the european commission president us live underlay and was blunt she said it would be impossible to complete in the time frame. and without an extension of the transition period beyond 2020 you cannot ex expect to agree on every single aspect of our new partnership we will have to prioritize one option to speed things up is the slicing tackling the negotiations area by area making smaller separate deals on aspects of trade fisheries and transport for example then there's an interim deadline at the start of july the final time britain can extend the transitional period but prime minister boris johnson says he

won't i made it against british law to do so this means the u.k. could be left with the prospect of a cliff edge the deadline expiring with no trade deal in place doing business on world trade organization terms with all the tariffs border checks that entails but don't forget one final date december 31st 2022 that's when the transition period could be extended to if boris johnson changes his mind and asks for an extension. of the impeachment trial against the us president says shuttle to wrap up on wednesday after the senate votes its a book any witnesses from. donald trump is all but certain to be acquitted given the republican majority in the senate trump is accused of abuse of power and obstruction of congress for threatening to withhold military aid to ukraine in

exchange for an investigation into his democratic political rival joe biden well since the vote stone would trump has taken to twitter where he says no matter what you give to the democrats in the end they will never be satisfied in the house they gave us nothing how did you castro has more from washington d.c. . democrats say the impeachment trial of president donald trump is the 1st trial in u.s. history without witnesses is this a fair trial without the ability to call witnesses and produce documents the answer is clearly and unequivocally no but despite hours of arguments trying to convince republican senators to allow new witnesses in the trial the yeas are $49.00 the nays are $51.00 the democrats last all but 2 republican senators voted no it's a grand tragedy america will remember this day unfortunately where the senate did

not live up to its responsibilities where the senate turned away from truth and went along with a sham trial democrats had hoped to get the support of moderate republican lisa murkowski but in the end she rejected the idea saying in a statement i have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the senate i don't believe the continuation of this process will change anything it is sad for me to admit that as an institution the congress has failed this means the senate jury has essentially sealed its ears to john bolton chums former national security adviser in his soon to be released book bolton reportedly says trump asked him to help pressure ukraine for dirt on political opponents and it tied u.s. security aid to the request trump has denied the reports his attorneys argue even if true trump should still not be impeached so this idea that they haven't had

witnesses. is that's the smokescreen you've heard from a lot of witnesses the problem with the case. the problem with their position is even with all of those witnesses it doesn't prove up an impeachable offense the articles failed the impeachment trial now nears its end with trump's acquittal all but certain given that republicans hold the majority trance political fate more likely lies in the hands of american voters who will decide in november whether to give him a 2nd term. castro al-jazeera washington. well jason the course is a political analyst and lecturer at the university of maryland coach park he joins us live from washington d.c. good to have you with us on the program once again. given the events of the past few weeks surprised are you by this this verdict in the in the senate

well i think the coming verdict did not surprise does not surprise me the fact that donald trump will be acquitted by the senate is not surprising at all but the idea . senators didn't want to hear evidence that they didn't want to see documents that they wanted to close their eyes and their ears to actual facts and proof didn't want to hear from witnesses that is utterly shocking it's a disappointment and it is something that's really sad it's this is a very sad day for our republic this is not what the framers intended. really disappointing. but this isn't you think this is a bit of a miscalculation from the democrats because the a lot of democrats were resisting this impeachment because they knew that would be cleared by the senate they knew that the arguments we've been manipulated in the

media and though the sets it's a little once again this is a miscalculation by the democrats. i don't think so i think number one we see that the polls say that 51 percent of americans believe that trump should be removed hopefully those people will go to the polls in november and i also think that the house's job is oversight its oversight of the executive branch we have 3 co-equal branches of government and one of them is the legislative black branch and their job is oversight of the executive branch and they did their job. in the end of the day it's about doing your job it's not necessarily about guessing the outcome or guessing the political consequences we've seen impeachment has had difficult consequences in the past politically but it still has to be done to keep so that we don't have a monarchy and that we actually have a republic and so that's where the house managers were trying to argue

unfortunately it fell upon some deaf ears in the senate and this is a very troubling outcome and sets a very dangerous historical precedent where many of the votes that we've seen much of the rhetoric we have seen not just in the last few months but certainly since donald trump was elected president of the united states has fallen to partisan lines the country is more polarized than ever and now we're seeing that the senate that congress on the whole is voting along partisan lines it doesn't matter what you present any where do you think congress is broken do you think the american political system is broken or indeed fit for purpose. think you are very much correct that it certainly looks as though it's broken it looks as though senators are thinking about their political futures rather than thinking

about the country 1st which is the oath that they take many of them are thinking and we're going to so-called ride the trump train think that if they go against the president he's going to go after them on his very active twitter account that he's going to turn their base against them and that they're going to lose so they're going about their employment prospects rather than thinking about history or thinking about this republic and what it means to so many people it's a very very troubling moment we're in and i will say that i think that our republic is in danger we will have a democratic president in the future that's without question and he will have those favorable circumstances where the senate he or she excuse me will have the senate on his side and what happens when that person breaks the law the g.a.o. says that trump broke the law now we have it where they don't have to do we're over documents we don't have to see witnesses we can hold

a bunch of sham trials and the fact that impeachment will not be a check or balance on their power we're essentially moving towards autocracy and it's a very dangerous thing i can't stress that enough well the real. the real trial many of our kids is in the court of public opinion certainly the republicans were keen to stress they didn't want president from impeached and removed and taken ice of the election because this is for the american public to decide given that what is the democrats get the democratic party strategy moving ahead for the elections and secondly how do you think the the american public are going to going to judge president trump when it comes to the election in the vendor. well i think his base is always going to stick with them it doesn't matter what he does doesn't

matter what crimes he commits it doesn't matter if he is racist or sexist doesn't matter what allegations come out from his past his base is absolutely going to stick with him i think democrats their job is number one we are a why the democratic party has people with all kinds of ideological positions their job is to unite and unified behind whoever the nominee is who will face donald trump and i will say that there is one thing that unites democrats who are progressive and ones who are moderate even some conservative democrats the thing that unites them is opposition to donald trump so wherever beats or whoever's going to face donald trump needs all of that support they've got to go out and get big turnout register new voters that's exactly how president obama won in 2 $1008.00 and they've got to follow that game plan. to have your thoughts said jason neck host joining us live from washington d.c.

nationals who've traveled to china in the past 14 days from entering the country a public health emergency has been declared in the u.s. with 7 confirmed cases there american citizens who've been end china in the past 2 weeks will also be screened and quarantined for 14 days the risk of infection for americans remains low and with visa and or previous actions we are working to keep the risk low it is likely that we will continue to see more cases in the united states in the coming days and weeks including some limited person to person transmission the american public can be assured the full weight of the u.s. government is working to safeguard the health and safety of the american people. meanwhile japan turkey germany and the u.k. are among the nations a vacuum in their citizens from the city the heart break reports now on the

international evacuation efforts. a mission to get foreign nationals are to hand as quickly as possible as this german air force plane departed from cologne airport it was one of a number of countries that intensified efforts to get its citizens out of the city at the center of the outbreak. there are more than 100 people one of whom are infected there are also now suspected cases amongst these people in order to guarantee the safety of the people in germany evacuee florentine for 2 weeks into german army base to ensure that none of the evacuees is infected. at least half a dozen people in germany were confirmed to have tested positive for the virus and the pressure to contain it is urgent in the u.k. on friday the 1st cases of the illness appeared the same day as the british government transported its citizens back from the lockdown region aboard

a plane another 110 evacuees who managed to make it out. but there are still many other foreign nationals trapped in the city unable as of yet to get out. those who arrived were immediately taken away by coach to a health facility in the north west of england they will now spend the next 2 weeks in quarantine monitored for any signs of the disease and if any one of them develop symptoms they will be taken to one of 4 specialized hospitals for treatment. with a vaccine still months away from being remotely ready countries are focusing on containment and management of any outbreaks mosques are becoming prevalent in high risk areas such as airports as a threat of the virus is still to be assessed sony vaio al-jazeera brize norton england when he is standing by for us in hong kong where there are 13 cases of the coronavirus but thailand has the highest number of confirmed cases outside china so

let's go 1st to alexia bryan in bangkok lexi dozens of toys are set to be evacuated from. first of all just tell us what the plan is to get citizens of china. that's right a plane is leaving bangkok here on saturday morning to go and pick up the thais who've been stranded on one hand as you said there it's the a.p. center of the virus and the city has been on lockdown since january 23rd when the chinese government stopped all public transport going in and out and in an attempt to stop this virus spreading it's estimated there are about 60 ties in with. a team of doctors will be going on the plane to check those boarding the plane not only when they're leaving one hand but also when they arrive here in thailand and anybody showing any symptoms of the coronavirus will be quarantined and hospital

for 14 days because it's thought that any symptoms of the virus will show in that time and if they're not if they don't have any symptoms at this stage they will be monitored at home for the same period. and the 1st case of human to human transmission has no been confirmed in thailand well morkie tell us about that that's right on friday 5 new cases were announced now 4 of them were chinese men who had a history of traveling to one hand one of them though in the most interesting case he is a thai taxi driver he has no history of traveling to china it's thought that he may have picked it up from carrying around a chinese tourist here in thailand now china is the biggest source of foreign visitors for thailand about 10000000 visitors last year and about 2000000 just in the past 2 months since this virus has broken out now there has been a little bit of disagreement within the chinese government about how to deal with it some say there's no need to block all flights coming out of china because of if

it's that have been taken by the chinese government already they say that numbers are down about 80 percent but the health minister has been pushing for perhaps a block on chinese visitors getting a visa on arrival here and saying that maybe they should show a doctor's certificate proving that they don't have the corona virus but the terza minister has been against their plan he says that's not necessary and it's too important to maintain that relationship between the thai and chinese governments and the time chinese people because they're the backbone of the multi-billion dollar tourism industry here. in bangkok for no thank you let's cross live to hong kong where when he joins me in the situation on the mainland is getting worse just how are the authorities a medical staff coping there. yes certainly another dark day in mainland china it seems that each day is worse than

the previous one in terms of the numbers that are being released by the national health commission most of the cases and the fatalities are still in who bay province where it's thought that this outbreak began and there the medical staff are still struggling to cope with the sheer number of cases we know that thousands of extra doctors and nurses were flown from other parts of the country into a province to try to help but there is still reports of a shortage of medical equipment including those protective suits that those medical staff need to wear to treat the patients and also testing kits to try to confirm where the suspected cases true or not and because of that that is why some experts believe that the actual number of infections in mainland china will be a lot higher than what the government is saying also there is a shortage of hospital beds as you can well imagine which is why everyone is anticipating the completion of 2 makeshift hospitals that are being hurriedly built

and city they are expected to come online within the next week or so and that should allow for around 2 and a half 1000 extra hospital beds this fire is now spread to all provinces and territories in china including the city of chen jin which is a long way from. a province in the northeast that is neighboring the capital beijing and there the local government on saturday morning has announced that it is altering all schools and non-essential business to remain closed indefinitely so just a sign of how much this has spread around the entire country and. wait here in hong kong what steps are being taken where you are to contain this fire. this was you mentioned the numbers here still relatively stable and low the number of confirmed cases in hong kong only 13 at the moment but again there is concern

that that could grow because transport routes between here and the mainland are still open they have been reduced but there is still transport options available for people to travel from mainland china to hong kong and vice versa and that's why experts are expecting that we could see a spike in the number of confirmed cases in hong kong soon many people here want the government to do more especially closing the border crossings completely and that is something the government has refused to do we heard again from hong kong chief executive kerry lamb on friday in a media conference saying that they will not close the borders completely but what she did announce is that all schools will remain closed until much the 2nd day possibly will be an extension beyond that as well we have at least 5 universities here that have followed that example and she's also asking that civil servants with the exception of course of medical personnel to remain working from home for the entire next week so that's an extension that has been the case this week as we came

to an end of the lunar new year holiday period but that has now been extended for the entire next week as well. live for is in hong kong thank you very much indeed. now airstrikes on opposition held territory in northern syria forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee to the turkish border at least 21 civilian something killed in government attacks banks by russia in recent days mohammad's reports. there's only rubble and de brézé left off the days of strikes by syrian forces backed by russian air power the target the northern syrian town of and it led province the last major rebel held stronghold and insecure red activists showed the extent of the damage there an area devastated by barrel bombs. from an elephant out of the bombardment continues here a helicopter just dropped a bomb on the syrian civil defense group known as the white house myths has been

one of mexico's most iconic species the monarch butterfly has just lost perhaps its greatest advocate. they're not going to. known as mexico's monarch butterfly defender was found dead in a pond in the state of the chalk on. his mysterious disappearance 2 weeks before his body was found has raised concerns among many in mexico who say violence against environmental activists has become commonplace isn't that. he was a defender of the environment in a region with many conflicts me jochen is a perfect example of where natural resources are under a lot of pressure especially when it comes to 4 is being cleared for avocado plantations. the iconic monarch butterfly is known for its annual migration to the forests of central mexico where millions spent the winter is. is now my days before his disappearance gomez posted this video on social media

surrounded by thousands of flapping wings gomes invited tourists to visit his butterfly sanctuary a federal investigation is determining how gomez died but one thing is certain the death of the monarch butterfly defender has dealt a significant blow to environmental conservation efforts in central mexico nationwide mexico continues to shatter records for violent homicides especially in states like me to account for many of the deaths of conservation workers highlights the government's inability to curb violence. and that's not only does this threaten the butterflies but the risk exists for those who defend against illegal logging the threat is also against indigenous people who defend their culture and the history. a funeral for. those was held in the village of admiral saadi. the country's president called his death painful and has vowed to fight the criminal gangs suspected of being behind his death madrid up in mexico city.

gaza lebanon and turkey thousands protested in the gaza strip for the parents u.s. and israeli flags the proposal of those israel to maintain control of all of its settlements in the occupied west bank where the head of the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees as urge the international community to polls the u.s. plan the plan that was released this week is extremely unsettling for the palestine refugees living under occupation under blockade and through conflict after conflict and cross off the crisis hoping for justice and human rights and with the constant fear that the international community will want to abandon them today more than ever there is a need for stability and today the international community must send a clear message to the palestine refugees and to the world at large that the international community stands firmly behind them well stephanie director was at the process in gaza she says people haven't been coming out in huge numbers as many

weren't surprised by the plan. a few 1000 people came out after friday prayers fair to the northern parts of the gaza strip to protest for by far the last about an hour or so people now starting to leave the service at the mosques across gaza focusing on injecting the teaching of the century specifically talking about is a. good law and that they too should be rejected and that was the unspoken mainstay false but certainly if you have these numbers a few 1000 to get to the population nearly 2000000 people and that's because people say they didn't expect anything to. participate today to express our rejection of this shameful deal the trumpet netanyahu made along with the traitor arab leaders we're here to say palestine from the river to the sea and no one has the right to sell or give away any part of it. if these public activities will be followed by a fight is and these public movements are preparation for all the forces we have in

gaza and that with spanking resistance will undermine completely the deal of the century one other thing the sermons of the last little is the only one in the complete absence of condemnation of the arab world to the leaders something that a lot of people do not highlighted to or they would also do that all they want really what they focus on the americans are trying to ease the blockade lift the blockade and give the car the opportunities that everyone else how did not meet a long term political solution what this plan is done people didn't expect anything different what was done todd was only highlighting how far away from a political solution we are. no surprise east jerusalem he says israel has stepped up security. just after dawn pres this morning there were those confrontations between israeli put security forces and palestinian worshippers dozens of them in or around the alexa mosque compound and we had already heard from israeli security forces that they were beefing up their presence

in the old city because of the current political tensions off to the release of the trump peace plan and just before those present underway we did hear that in the immediate area around the locks the mosque compound and as the temple mount to jews in that area the security presence was a good deal more visible and had been increased to the general security presence as a here has been increased as it has in the occupied west bank as well all of this coming after tuesday's release of the trunk plan and the apparent green light that it gave to israel to start an acting annex ation in israeli settlements and indeed the jordan valley the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had indicated he wanted to move almost immediately this sunday to vote in cabinet to start that process but the brakes have been put on by the americans it seems in the last couple of days so we wait to see whether that reality the fact that there isn't
