eco friendly solutions to comeback threats to our planet on al-jazeera. israel says it's sending an extra $1000.00 troops into the occupied west bank after a series of violent incidents raises tensions between israelis and palestinians. you're watching al-jazeera live from doha with me fully back to war also ahead the world health organization says the number of new cases of coronavirus has dropped for the 1st time in china. plus thousands of syrians fee fighting in italy province as government forces try to retake the last rebel held territory. and u.s. president donald trump comes out swinging against the democrats after being

acquitted in his senate impeachment trial. these are the army says it's sending a rod a 1000 more soldiers into the occupied west bank after an upsurge in violence in the last 24 hours have been clashes in several cities in the occupied west bank between palestinians and these radiometer after 4 palestinians were shot dead in separate incidents the israeli military is also searching for a suspect involved in a car ramming attack in jerusalem that moon to 12 of its soldiers that spring in need avraham was in ramallah for us in the occupied west bank certainly a tense situation i need to bring us up to speed with the latest steps. so the tensions started in the morning after the israeli army has raided the city of janine north of the occupied west bank where confrontations have erupted between the palestinians and the army and 19 year old palestinian was killed and he was

later relayed to rest another palestinian a policeman a father of 2 was also killed and as we've seen from the surveillance video he seemed to be standing in a police station doing nothing at the time of his injury and later his death it's not sure whether his family is going to be allowed to enter the west bank from jordan to attend his funeral now more than one in more than one location confrontations have erupted between the palestinians and the israeli army medical sources tell us that there are around 80 palestinians who are wounded now in other news the post the israeli army has been reading several towns and villages in the occupied west bank they say they're looking for a palestinian who was injured in israeli soldier in a shooting attack here near ramallah now it's worth mentioning that this tension has been happening more than a week after the u.s.

president has unveiled his plan for what he says the mideast. he says that it is a solution for the mideast peace plan and the palestinians and their leadership have strongly condemned it and rejected it right and israel now saying that it's sending a 1000 more troops in the occupied west bank needa just how high is the potential for escalation right now. it's hard to tell because as we've seen from the 1st days after that announcement of the plan some palestinian factions have called for people to go out on the streets and fruit does but we've seen really really little turnout by palestinians and it's worth mentioning that we never the israeli army goes into palestinian villages confrontations erupt and we see some incidents of. injuries and in some other cases palestinians get killed so it's hard to tell if it's

a direct response to the plan although they're posted in president spokesperson has said that all of the tension that has been happening here in the west bank is a direct result of the u.s. peace plan thank you for that need abraham live for us in ramallah and harry fossett is in western sudan he says some of those this violence is linked to the u.s. says recently proposed middle east peace plan. as the reason a lot of people are pointing to the fact that it is just 9 days after the revelation or the unveiling of the u.s. peace plan there had been talk about possible violent reaction to it or an escalation of tensions at least of course it's difficult to draw a direct line but that's certainly the message coming from the palestinian president mahmoud abbas his office saying that the trump plan has created this escalation in tensions we've seen a couple of incidents in jerusalem in occupied east jerusalem earlier in the

afternoon there was a palestinian citizen of israel from haifa in the north of israel he got very close to an army checkpoint israeli security forces checkpoint just outside the locks the mosque compound known as the temple mount to jews he pulled a gun out of his pocket shot out a group of israeli forces there injuring one likely he himself was shot and killed took place in the early hours of this morning as you said in your introduction a suspected running attack on a group of israeli soldiers who were on their way to a swearing in ceremony at the western wall this was in west jerusalem the driver got away one soldier seriously injured 12 injured in total the car discovered in beit jalla in the occupied west bank and there were raids and searches in bethlehem with some confrontations with palestinians resulting from that in other news the world health organization says this is the 1st day that the number of new

cases of the 100 corona virus in china has dropped but it's stressed that it's too soon to say if the outbreak has peaked. there is still a lot we don't know we don't know the source of the outbreak we don't know what it's natural preserve what it is and we don't properly understand its transmissibility or to see the 80 to defeat this outbreak we need answers to all those questions and there are the tools we don't have we have no vaccine to prevent infections and notoriety acts to treat them well hospitals as they are struggling to cope with a number of people infected and a growing number of countries are closing their borders to chinese travelers adrian brown reports from hong kong he says it will count quarantine all new arrivals on the mainland. china is on a war footing unverified video on social media shows streets in wu han where the

virus originated being sprayed with disinfectant. but questions linger over how china's government is dealing with this invisible enemy few countries can marshal the resources now at china's disposal and that's the thrust of the narrative on state controlled television but hospitals are swamped with an acute shortage of beds gymnasiums and sports stadiums have been turned into temporary medical centers to cope with demand on thursday the death toll reached 565 the latest infections included a newborn baby but china's government says the number of virus victims who are recovering is also increasing here in hong kong the fear of catching this virus appears to be more contagious than the virus itself on thursday morning there were reports of panic buying in some local supermarkets with shelves being cleared of rice and other staples forcing the hong kong government to say there's no need to

worry there's plenty of food. but there are not plenty of facemasks those that are on sale costs 3 times what they did before the crisis began people we spoke to don't understand why the government isn't providing them for free there are many poor people they have to queue up to buy to us and having a government should do more of that to solve the problems they're not doing enough because they did not plan ahead so precious was for it as it. is so now that prices were mass is like going out. the day after the hong kong government announced it would soon begin isolating all arrivals from the mainland it remains unclear how that will happen the 2 options appear to be self isolation or being placed in holiday camps converted to quarantine centers in hong kong a luxury cruise liner the 2nd in asia with infected passengers is now

a floating quarantine center as medical teams continue screening the 3600 passengers and crew the authorities are also appealing to passengers who were on a previous foraged to get in touch fearing thousands more may have been exposed to the virus adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong. we want to take you now to geneva and the united nations where the u.n. special envoy for libya has done salami is speaking as libya's rival factions are attending talks in geneva hoping to turn a fragile cease fire into a lasting truce let's listen in to the un special envoy has been made. on many important issues and we have before us a significant number of points of it's due are we happy it was what you have certainly yes is this. complete

certainly not. and that is why you are still. working on refining our basic draft and on. bridging the gap on a few points of divergence that still exist between the 2 delegations this is headed by this sense of urgency we have and they also share about the necessity of transforming the truce and to a lasting and permanent cease fire. during these talks the negotiators would be certainly helped by. a more calm on the

fronts and by the absence of any ak provocative act on the military side by any of the parties in conflict so that they can from the us. in as. rational and moderate environment as possible you know that this military attack is one of the 3 tracks we are trying to organize. in application of the meddlin conclusions that were reached on the 1900 january. we will move to reactivate the 2nd track which is the economic

and financial track that we started on january the 6 by a meeting in cairo in 2 days from now on the 9th of. january february i'm sorry. and the political track as a bit lacking because we are. still waiting for the 2 chambers to select their representatives one of them has finished the job the other is having some difficulty having its act together but we are hopeful that. the 40 participants in the political dialogue will be here. for the start of the political dialogue on the 26th of february that is before the end of the months

as i have already said so the 3 tracks are. sort of in action the military track has made. good progress in the past few days the economic factors going to have a 2nd step next sunday. and the political track is going to be opened on the $26.00 of this month and this lady face. thank you i'm ready to take your questions now. maybe with the gentleman there. yes you gyptian maybe you can introduce you know differently from another bee in your children so i said i'm not going to ask you a question a lot of atrocity out of your senses. i've watching now

a press conference life. how much to have us did you achieve a lucky. and really god in there with the grower of the libyan national army from the south of tripoli and dismantling the militias. thank you very much for your question i had we told me since we arrived here. about the necessary images to turn the current truce in and they remain to ceasefire agreement a lasting cease fire agreement and an alleged steroid to say that the situations in principle is of both sides and this is normally in. these situations were far away from each other. and this was and

clear. but we have. a sort of understanding about certain main points regarding this bro says the process of turning the truce into a comprehensive sea is fire agreement nationwide in libya this and this is it dates commitments from both sides. from the national. army libyan national army and commitments from the army affiliated. to the government of national accord. today. has kindly accepted to summarise what he just said in english yes i was just saying that that has been the question was about the. the. the

progress made during the negotiations. about the commitments of the 2 parties and i said that the ceasefire agreement is made of a number of issues and there has been points of convergence on many. of the commitments to be taken by the parties but there are still 2 or 3 points of flavors and we are going to treat in a new draft the mission will be preparing today for their consideration tomorrow. other requests other questions i to tina. could you elaborate a little bit more about these points of diversion and also. when your last when

you last reported to the security council on january 30th you did finish your remarks there by saying 'd that you were deeply angry and disappointed about the lack of translation underground about what has been agreed upon in berlin are you still in that frame of mind but there are 2 aspects to your questions there is the aspect i was angered by and frustrated by and they don't type which is the fact that many countries present at the berlin conference had committed to have a more. honest respect of the arms embargo and they did it. we have evidence that the 2 parties have benefited from a new idea i was of fourpence new kinds of weapons and

ammunition and also from their arrival of new recruits or new foreign fighters for their side therefore this was a reason for my frustration which i live inside of the security council what we are talking about today is nothing zakk is that that is the commitment made by the states and that's why there was at that i think those states in the security council what we are doing here is and entered libyan purely into libyan they are low on the best foundations to have a translation of the. truce that has been accepted by both sides on the 12th of january into a lasting cease fire and as you know and i greenman from a cease fire necessarily. involves a number of points. what do you do with the.

heavy weaponry what how to allow the internally displaced persons to go back to their homes how to receive really analyze the areas that have been basically here sort of for. how. was the was there are. was the monitoring of the ceasefire who should monitor this fire. what is that all of the mission and the monitoring of this is 5 this questions are quite technical questions and that is why our discussions have been basically one into libyan was no presence or interference or any country but the libyans themselves on both sides and 2nd technical in the sense that we are not talking about politics or about the government or about the role of foreign countries we are talking about what is

acceptable to both sides in libya to make that translation from the truce and to the full fledged agreement on a cease fire. sorry just one question person i let me give you a chance the u.n. special envoy for libya. speaking to the media in geneva saying progress has been made on a number of issues between libya's rival factions as a meets in geneva. hoping to turn a fragile truce into a lasting cease fire salami says or sell however a number of issues but that they are working on bridging the gap on a few points are virgins that still exist between the 2 sides libya as you know is divided between 2 rival administration the internationally recognized government which is based in the capital tripoli and the forces of warlords the have tahu is supported by a number of foreign countries including egypt and the u.a.e. we'll bring you the latest from geneva as we get it in the meantime let's cross

over to washington d.c. . the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives nancy pelosi is speaking after the senate acquitted president donald trump on impeachment charges let's listen in of his holiness to the pharmaceutical industry. so we got 2 major sayings accomplished these are things the president said he wanted to do reduce the cost of prescription drugs and build the infrastructure during the campaign especially infrastructure hardly ever had a conversation with him when he wasn't talking about infrastructure and for structure and structure i think he really wants that i think you know as a country needs that and i hope that we we were almost there and the took the time to pay for it and then it was it out the door well that would be up to him it certainly hasn't changed in terms of us as people said to me why would you give him a victory on the trade agreement as it is not a victory for him not to do that for the benefit it provides for our farmers our

manufacturers our workers and our country our hemisphere. and what i think would be wrong i mean he just wasn't that important that we would walk away from what they were conceding to us but they were conceding to us and that legislation if we didn't get what we want we couldn't go that path but we did now didn't it we get everything you know the negotiation but it's a path to much better trade agreements and i'm pleased we did it was necessary and . what a. president. what. you're that's one. of the best. but i think that has anything to do with it why have this. white.

what does that mean well let me just say that that language is 1st of all the whole state of the union was believed the dignity of the white house an insult to the congress of the united states in american people so their language is nothing that surprises anyone but they have to know when a white house speaks so those words weigh a ton and they are giving encouragement to people to do things just says remember charlottesville people are coming down that hill with tiki torches saying the jews will not replace us the jews will not replace us and what was the president's statement there but people on both sides really the jews are not replace as a people on both sides so that they if there is a. mysterious there that they have about what their words the weight their words carry and there are people out there who. for whatever purpose i know

i'm constantly i'm not i don't even go into the target that i am but because of them but i can't worry about that but that was the. even before them just working with president obama stirred up some of those same people but they. and i would like to think that had nothing to do with what the white house was saying but i do think they should rein in their comments but that's what they're saying is they're going to be payback to us for upholding the constitution of the united states for honoring the vision of our founders for democracy a republican if we can keep it for something our men and women in uniform fight to protect our freedom our constitution and the aspirations of our children that depend on living in a democracy that is on question in terms of that where we have freedom of the press to be guardians of that democracy so. you know i'm not very fond of commenting on anything they say but if it's threatening it's wrong as

we don't know if there is. one. what's your position on that and went. i want to 1st salute our managers i think they did a magnificent job and presenting that case for our founders for our constitution for our country we could not have been better served each and every one of them did a magnificent job and i am shiflet the leadership was a blessing to our country and proud of the work that the senate did in terms of their response to all of this and their unanimous vote on the house democrats and support of our constitution we are now the senate has spoken in terms of any punishment to the president he's impeached for ever no matter what he says or whatever headlines you want to carry around your mph for ever you're never getting

rid of that scar and history will always record that you were m.p.h. for undermining the security of our country jeopardizing the integrity of our elections and violating the constitution of the united states. our purpose in all of this in addition to holding him accountable so he stops doing what he's doing and no future president thinks that she or he could have liberty to take us away from the republic if you can keep it to a 2nd amendment neighbor for me to do whatever i want no that's not what our constitution is about so we will continue to do our oversight to protect and defend the constitution which is 3 co-equal branches of government each a check and balance on the other and we have some cases in court now mccann in texas and that and and that will take time we didn't need to have that come to fruition. because we had

a strong enough case to impeach and remove but those cases still exist if there are others that we see and it's an opportunity will make a judgment at that time but we have no plans right now. as the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives nancy pelosi addressing the media there off a day after the u.s. senate acquitted president trump of all impeachment charges she says the democrats moving ahead with the next season in full swing not to proceed trying to put a positive spin on all this let's bring in kelly hall in washington d.c. for more can believe been misnamed to nancy pelosi there this is a tough time for the democrats what's her message. well clearly with we listen to the house speaker there still is a lot of acrimony between not only herself but also the u.s.

president she was referring there to the state of the union speech that occurred on tuesday evening and the fact that is you know there still is some hard feelings to put it mildly over the president. speech in the eyes of democrats yes republicans the fact that she tore up that speech just underscores it exposes the deep divisions that exist and now all eyes look towards the president most the acquittal and a in the u.s. senate where things are headed next and you heard there from nancy pelosi she's not real happy with the warning coming out of the white house that it has been very threatening she says in some regards so this is the tone in which we head towards election season not particularly a positive message one process can really has left the president seemingly in a more powerful position where says mood like right now i mean it's a day after we saw him earlier at the prayer breakfast what message what tone do we

expect him to take when he speaks at 17 g.m.t. from the white house not one of contrition in fact just the opposite not only was he at that per breakfast touting the acquittal in the headlines in the newspapers but also lamenting the way his family has been treated as everybody knows my family our great country. and your president have been put through a terrible ordeal. by some very dishonest and corrupt people they have done everything possible to destroy us and by so doing very badly hurt our nation. he is over accompanied by the politics are not how well this acquittal factor into the presidential race. it is that you're exactly right this is not over

anyone who breathes a sigh of relief thinking finally let's move on it's going to be disappointed because already republicans are calling for new investigations into the former vice president joe biden his son hunter biden what they were doing with regard to ukraine policy when the president was barack obama also the house democrats saying they are still seeking testimony from the former national security adviser of the trump administration john bolton who has just said in an upcoming book and leaks that have been revealed that in fact the president was leveraging his political powers in the presidential office for political purposes not only to influence the 2020 alexion but also to abuse the powers of his presidency now of course again the president has been acquitted in the u.s. senate of those charges but expect that this is going to be played over and over on

the campaign trail we should also very quickly point out another thing that has happened is the trump administration is already taking action to try and quassia future investigation something that was slipped through underneath the headlines of the impeachment vote of the last 24 hours or some changes coming by the department of justice to to quell the political investigations much like we saw into hillary clinton's e-mails in 2016 this is going to have an enormous impact on a lot of criticism as the trump administration continues to try and push the headlines in the president's favor again looking ahead for the president as he may do just that himself as he speaks from the east room of the white house in the coming hour who quickly came but what about mitt romney i mean he became the 1st senator to move to vote to remove a president from his own party what's going to happen. he's getting a lot of blowback from the republican party because of course he is the lone

republican who on one count the abuse of power charge article of impeachment he did call the president guilty with that vote so republicans are not happy the president has the lashing out at him on the other hand he's also being looked at as a hero by democrats who believe that it was very courageous for him to be able to step out from the party line on that one impeachment vote candy thank you very much for that committee white house correspondents live and we'll have plenty more from the white house side 700 g.m.t. president trying to you can speak from the east room a day after he was acquitted by the u.s. senate to stay with us on al-jazeera.

think of some of the biggest companies in the world today all of them big tech with algorithms that they call them all that we use them the more data we produce where in the midst of a great race a dot and big tech companies are on the cheeks and fires are rising on a wealth of information and we do all the commodity and the 2nd of the 5 series on the re-examined is where the proliferation is our colonizing internet. 30 an hour of think tank on a just. over the.
