live from studio 7 at cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to viewers from the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. >> and i'm rosemary church. this is cnn newsroom. ahead this hour, coronavirus contagion. china's financial markets plunge as investors get their first chance to react to the wuhan outbreak. >> in london, police say the man suspected of two terror related stabbings, he was released from prison just days ago after serving time for disturbing extremist material. >> and hail to the chiefs, kansas city comes from behind for a thrilling superbowl win. ♪ ♪
12:02 am
good to have you with us. so, we start with the wuhan coronavirus spreading across china, and this word just coming in from china's foreign ministry which is slamming the u.s. for its response to the outbreak. it says the u.s. is overreacting with its temporary travel ban and has not provided any substantial assistance to china. >> this comes as the virus sends shock waves throughout the chinese markets. mainland china just wrapped up its first day of trading after the lunar new year break and stocks plummeted there. the shanghai composite down almost 8% and the zen schenn did even worse. >> china now confirms more than 17,000 cases, 361 people dead. that means this outbreak has killed more people in mainland china than sars back in 2003. >> and cnn covering every angle of this major story across east
12:03 am
asia. >> yes, cnn's steven jung is tracking the spread of the virus and carolyn is watching the markets from tokyo. so, let's go to steven first in beijing. and, steven, more than 17,000 people infected as we said. how is china planning to contain and fight this virus? >> reporter: well, rosemary, they are, of course, trying to focus on their containment effort in the epicenter, which is hubei province. interestingly, you mentioned some of the numbers. 17,000 cases here in china from this virus. but the foreign ministry that you mentioned, their statement slamming the u.s., they actually mentioned some numbers about the u.s. as well. a spokeswoman said, look, in this season alone, the flu has infected 19 million americans and killing some 10,000, according to the u.s. cdc. so it's very interesting the chinese have really decided to come out and lash out at the
12:04 am
washington administration's response to this outbreak with the spokeswoman using some very harsh language accusing the u.s. of going directly against the w.h.o. advice not to impose travel or trade ban and saying the u.s. is doing nothing but creating and feeding mass hysteria and the fear around the country. the spokeswoman said the u.s. has not only provided any assistance to china, but was the first to evacuate its consular staffer in wuhan, the first to start a partial withdrawal of its embassy staff, and also the first to impose this travel ban. i think this is really showing the chinese government's growing concern that they are being increasingly isolated globally as the u.s. started this decision and followed, of course, by a growing number of countries. this, of course, is not only making it challenging for chinese to go anywhere outside of its borders, but also having major economic consequence on a
12:05 am
lot of chinese companies. still, of congressional black caucus still now, of course, it is making more testing kits available to make the confirmation results quicker for a lot of patients there. also having more medical supplies and resources pour in from all over the country to hubei, for example, by building two brand-new hospitals on the outskirts of wuhan with the first one opening on sunday with more than 10,000 hospital beds and now ready to receive patients. rosemary? >> that has to be the number one focus here. steven jung joining us from beijing. many thanks. >> now the view from tokyo following what's happening across asia with this and the markets. and certainly the markets are plummeting. >> reporter: yeah, vicious knee jerk reaction, george, as the chinese equity markets play catch up. this is the first time trading is happening in shanghai and
12:06 am
shenzhen since january 24th. the shanghai market closed an hour ago. it is down 7.8%. that is a huge sell off. it opened down more than 9% with hundreds of shares going limit down. but it's not just the equity markets in china. we are seeing commodity prices, like oil, iron ore, steel, all of these things, excuse me, plummet as trade resumed after the lunar new year holiday. you're seeing ten year government bonds in china also move sharply lower. in response to this, the central bank of china pumped in a lot of liquidity into the short-term money markets to try and prevent a spike in interest rates. this is customary for all central banks in a time of crisis like this. the litmus test, excuse me, will be to see how wall street opens. it already had a really bad week last week. worst week in six weeks. so that reopen will be closely scrutinized. diplomacy aside, if the factories don't reopen on the 10th in some parts of these areas and the 14th in areas like wuhan, these are the two dates we have now, this is going to be
12:07 am
a huge challenge, not just for the world's second largest economy, china, but all the companies around the world who rely on components that are manufactured in wuhan. this is an industrial core for china. and let me just take one example. we recently heard from the fourth largest south korean automobile company. they say they are going to close their factories for seven days because they could not get a wiring harness part. that may seem like one component, but that gives you a big picture. if you don't have that one particular part, that maybe only manufactured in wuhan where you can't get an alternative for a while, this is going to cause a major supply chain shortage. and when you consider that chinese exports are just so much larger now than when the sars epidemic broke out in 2003, the economy as a whole is a large pie as well, this has months of implications on the global economy and i think that is what people are worried about. and, of course, the mental
12:08 am
impact as well with consumers. are they really going to open their purse strings after an incident like this? guys. >> all right. we're seeing the impact certainly across asia. and the question now to your point, how much further does that spread along with the virus that they're trying to contain. thank you both for the report. >> we turn to britain now where what should have been a routine day of sunday shopping turned into a violent terror attack in south london. >> that's right. police say a 20-year-old man stabbed two people in london. a third person injured by glass, shattered glass. that's when police opened fire. they are already saying they had been watching that suspect when the violence started. >> cnn's nic robertson joins us now from london with the very latest. so, nic, what more are you learning about this terror attack and, of course, the suspect at the center of it? >> reporter: well, the suspect had been convicted in 2018,
12:09 am
sentenced to more than three years in jail, but the authorities released him just days ago on terrorism -- from the terrorism charges. he was convicted of possession and distribution of terrorist-related material, including about stabbings. so he was released because there was no legal authority to hold him. he was still considered a danger, and that's why there was an active police operation surveilling him at the time. it's not yet clear precisely why the events that transpired on this busy high street at 2:00 in the afternoon on sunday took place there, why the police hadn't intervened with him at another location. why the events unfolded then, not clear. the police shot him because he was wearing what appeared to be a suicide vest. police later said that turned out to be a hoax. but the picture that is emerging
12:10 am
here for the authorities, at least, is very worryingly similar to the london bridge attack in november last year. and that is that a terror convict recently released from jail is still a threat to society and perpetrates an attack before he is shot dead by police. and we are expecting the british prime minister today, boris johnson, to make a statement about how he is going to handle this sensitive political issue, this very sensitive security issue of terror convicts being released from jail. and in some cases released much earlier than their original sentences would dictate. the police also today searching three premises in and around london. >> all right. many thanks to our nic robertson bringing us the very latest from london. appreciate it. >> a thrilling finish at superbowl liv. the kansas city chiefs rallied from behind and accomplished something they haven't done in
12:11 am
12:12 am
12:14 am
12:15 am
impeachment wednesday. it's looking more than likely the u.s. president will be acquitted after the senate voted 51-49 to block testimony from new witnesses. >> in the meantime, democrat adam schiff won't say whether the house will subpoena former national security advisor john bolton to testify. but he did say that he will hold senators accountable. >> i'm not letting the senators off the hook. we are still going to go into the senate this week and make the case why this president needs to be removed. it will be up to the senators to make that final judgment, and the senators will be held accountable for it. >> well, many republican senators are shying away from directly criticizing president trump's actions on ukraine. take a listen to what senator joni ernst had to say. >> assuming president trump is acquitted on wednesday and assuming you're going to vote to acquit him -- >> right. >> -- are you confident he won't
12:16 am
do this again, try to get another foreign country to look into a political opponent, whether it's elizabeth warren or pete buttiegieg or someone else? >> i think he knows now that if he is trying to do certain things, whether it's ferreting out corruption there in afghanistan, whatever it is, he needs to go through the proper channels. so, again, using the d.o.j. and other international organizations to get to that corruption. >> in the coming hours, the first major contest of the u.s. presidential race gets underway in the state of iowa. >> yeah, caucus goers will gather monday night and choose between a crowded field of white house hopefuls. cnn's jeff zeleny reports many of the democratic candidates have been campaigning across the state making their case to voters. >> reporter: the democratic presidential candidates taking one final lap around iowa on sunday as they head into the iowa caucuses on monday night. the first stop on what they hope will be the road to the white
12:17 am
house. the iowa caucuses are ending a year long campaign without a consensus for who the nominee should be to take on president trump. these candidates are in two distinctive lanes. bernie sanders is ending his campaign there in a position of strength. arguing that it's time for major structural change and, in his words, a revolution. ee liz weather warren is touting herself as a candidate of unity. saying she can bridge the gap between progressives and moderates. of course, joe biden, pete buttiegieg and amy klobuchar making the case a more middle of the road candidate would be a stronger candidate to take on president trump. now, the iowa campaign will not finish the discussion. it will simply begin the discussion. 0 not to new hampshire next week, nevada and south carolina. will mike bloomberg jump into the race on super tuesday? he's already spending hundreds of millions. jeff zeleny, cnn, des moines. >> jeff with the reporting, and now let's bring in jacob with context. jacob, an associate at lse
12:18 am
ideas, the foreign policy think tank at the london school of economics live this hour from lagos, nigeria. good to have you with us. >> good morning. >> looks as though it's going to be a busy week stateside when it comes to u.s. politics. the state of the union, then the president's likely acquittal to follow. republicans are calling this a win, but the way things stack up, mr. trump will not be able to claim that he is free and clear of impeachment when he delivers that state of the union. >> that's right. and i think the -- what you're likely to see will be a repeat of what happened after the mueller report. the mueller report did not exonerate the president. we simply weren't able to within the confines that we had demonstrate conclusive basis of a prosecution. i think what's likely to happen after the very, very likely acquittal vote will be that the democrats will make the case
12:19 am
reasonably enough that the trial in which there were no witnesses, in which witnesses were prevented by the white house from speaking either in the house or in the senate, doesn't represent a fair hearing of justice. and the republicans in congress will try to move on as quickly as possible, whereas trump will broadcast that he has been exonerated by his likes. with all due respect to senator ernst who was quoted earlier, i think the likelihood he'll take this as a chaseening is unlikely given the behavior that we've seen him in the past. i think he will see this as a victory and he will engage in more behavior of a similar kind. >> but you can already hear democrats saying, what about those emails, right, the emails that came to light that showed the president's direct involvement in withholding ukraine aid despite the fact that it won't be considered evidence given what we know about them. what's the overall impact there on public perception? >> well, the public polling has shown a fairly clear story that
12:20 am
a significant majority of the american people wanted to hear from witnesses. this was depending on the pollster anywhere from high 60s to high 70s percentage of residents wanted to hear from ambassador bolton, they want told hear as much of the story as possible to tell in public. that hasn't happened. so i think there is a good chance that this will rebound on trump and the republicans in the short term, but, of course, the short term these days is very short. and whether anyone will still be talking about this, whether it will still have any impact ten months from now when people actually go to the polls in november, i think is a very open question. >> all right. let's get out of washington and get out in the states on the campaign trail. the state of iowa, it is going to be a big week there. talk to us about how important that primary is for these democratic candidates. >> um, it's both very important and not that important. let's start with the not that important side because the number of delegates that will be assigned from iowa is a tiny fraction of the total number of
12:21 am
delegates that are required to actually gain the nomination. and what's more, given the democrats rely on proportional representation and the fact you have a fairly tight cluster of forefront runners, the number of delegates between the winner and second and third place is probably not going to be that much -- there is probably not going to be a significant numerical difference. but there will be a huge boost in terms of visibility, in terms of the impact on media commentators, the public, party elites, donors. to be able to say i won iowa is a major feather in the cap even if numerically it doesn't make that much difference. >> it's all about that momentum, right? look, this will certainly be a defining moment between candidates that are more centrist and candidates that lean more to the left. who do you see as a front runner in either there? >> well, the polls are telling -- the story the polls are telling have either joe biden or bernie sanders on top,
12:22 am
and elizabeth warren and pete buttiegieg not too far behind. but the critical thing here is that, a, they're all clustered quite closely together. and, b, the caucus isn't a primary election. so supporters of candidates who don't make the 15% viability threshold can then move over in the second round and support another candidate. so both buttigieg and warren have relatively high favorability ratings amongst democrats generally. to be clear, both biden and sanders do, too, but they're more likely given the polling to cross that 15% threshold in the first instance. but you could see a late surge in the second round towards buttigieg or warren from people supporting other candidates who haven't made the 15% cut off. i think it's anyone's game or anyone's game in the top four. someone could break into the lead or second place position, but i think it's very hard to tell at this stage what the
12:23 am
likely outcome or the narrative coming out of iowa will be. >> 9:22 a.m. there in lagos, nigeria. again, thanks for being with us this morning and giving the context around what's happening this week here stateside. >> all right. superbowl liv is now in the books, and what a game it was if you're a fan of the kansas city chiefs. >> oh, a lot of people were watching this game. they scored 20 straight points in the second quarter to beat the niners. patrick mahomes won the first superbowl victory in 50 years. >> unbelievable. let's get more from cnn's andy scholes. he's live in miami where the game was played, of course. andy, after 50 years, a great win for the chiefs. what are the fans saying about all of this? >> reporter: rosemary, i was actually sitting right behind some chiefs fans when it was pretty certain they were going to win this game. and i saw a grown man start
12:24 am
breaking into tears. he started crying. i saw other chiefs fans embracing each other because they've been waiting their whole lives for this moment. 50 years, most of them have never seen the cheefrz win a superbowl. the emotions involved in this game is one of the reasons why it was such a joyous moment for chiefs fans. they were down 20-10 with just seven minutes left in this game. like the chiefs have done all playoffs long, they found a way to rally. patrick mahomes wasn't his best in this game. but when it mattered most he was able to come up with the plays, third and 15. he hits travis kelsey for a touchdown. and damian williams on another touchdown to give the chiefs the lead for good. mahomes, your mvp. he's now the only quarterback in nfl history to have an mvp award and superbowl trophy before turning 25 years old. and our own coy wire was on the field and caught up with the superbowl mvp.
12:25 am
>> hey, when we're coming home, it's going to be amazing everybody out there for the parade, bring the lombardi home. >> i got a bunch of guys. they're phenomenal. i could coach another 20 years with this group. >> come back here how? >> heart, it's heart. so i'm proud of them. >> reporter: you're just the third african-american quarterback to ever win a superbowl. what does your story -- what does that message send to kids across america? >> i think it means no matter where you come from, how you were raised or what race you are, you can go out and follow your dreams. that's what i've always believed. no one thought i was going to be a football player. everyone thought i was going to be a baseball player. i followed my dreams and now i'm here winning the superbowl with all my teammates. >> reporter: now, the chiefs were the sentimental favorite in this game. the main reason was their coach andy reid. he coached in the nfl for 21 years but had never won a superbowl. he was always thought of as the best coach to never win the big game. but he's a superbowl champion now and his players could not have been happier to make that
12:26 am
happen for him, guys. >> and so much energy there in the stadium. of course, a lot of excitement for all of us watching from the newsroom. andy scholes, thank you so very much bringing us up to date on the situation there. appreciate it. >> all right. and thank you for watching around the world. super charged is next. >> and if you're watching here in the united states, of course, do stay tuned. we'll have more news for you after this short break. when you have nausea, heartburn, indigestion,

12:30 am
good morning and welcome back to our viewers here in the united states. you are watching cnn newsroom. i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm george howell with the headlines we're following for you this morning. closing arguments are set monday in the u.s. president's impeachment trial. this followed by a vote on those two articles of impeachment on wednesday. that means president trump will be delivering his state of the union speech tuesday before his likely acquittal by the senate. >> in the coming hours, caucus goers in iowa will make their picks for u.s. president in the first major contest of the 2020 race. democrats vying for their party's nomination held rallies
12:31 am
this weekend, hoping to gain more support. the contest winner usually enjoys a lot of momentum heading into the primaries. >> the coronavirus, china's foreign ministry is angry, slamming the u.s. for its response to what's happening there. the outbreak. the move comes as a temporary u.s. travel ban takes effect. it denies entry to all foreigners who have been in china for up to 14 days before traveling to the united states. one city, that is the vegas of china, macao, it is certainly on the radar with this, but with the coronavirus threat, officials say gambling revenue is down. tourism for the lunar new year also dropped around 80%. cnn's ivan watson now has more on what that city is trying to do to turn things around. >> reporter: this is what the coronavirus crisis looks like. an ambulance delivers a patient to the emergency room in the tiny former portuguese colony of
12:32 am
macao. health workers fully protected against the new disease. the authorities in macao aren't taking any chances. they are informing the public that if you suspect you have symptoms of coronavirus and that you've been in touch with somebody that you fear may also be sick somewhere in mainland china, call for an ambulance which will deliver you here to the emergency entrance of the city's main public hospital. images from inside the isolation ward, at least seven patients are being treated here. the health emergency has had a startling impact on this semi-autonomous corner of china. macao with its small population of around 600,000 people is normally a major tourism hot spot, welcoming nearly 40 million visitors last year alone. the main draw, macao's towering casinos. this is the gambling capital of the world, with the casino
12:33 am
industry that dwarves las vegas. but since the coronavirus outbreak, tourism to macao dropped 87% in january compared to the previous year. you've never seen it this empty before? >> yeah, never. i never saw something like this. >> reporter: martinez is a portuguese economist long based in macao. >> you go to the streets. i never saw streets empty. you go to the main square, totally empty. i never saw this in my life, and i am here from 1981, so too long. never. i think people are scared, maybe scared because of the speed of these infections. >> reporter: the macao authorities say they have been rounding up every visitor from the chinese promise of hubei, the origin of the coronavirus. those people get a choice. either leave the territory or go into quarantine.
12:34 am
but they're drawing a line when it comes to the critical engine of the city's economy. >> could one of your melt measures be to close the casinos? >> reporter: we do not rule out the possibility, the economy secretary tells me. at this point casinos in macao are totally safe. for now macao's glittering gambling houses are still open. but like the rest of china, the city is struggling with the new virus, and everyone here agrees this is just the beginning of the crisis. now, this morning i went into one of the bigger casinos here, the galaxy casino. it was pretty surreal because everybody is wearing a mask there. except when you actually enter the premises when the security guards ask you to drop your mask and then they film you with a
12:35 am
thermal camera to see whether or not you have a fever. and then inside, everybody, the dealers, the people at the roulette tables, the bartenders, the waitresses, everybody is wearing a mask, including a very small number of customers that i saw gambling there. now, the president of a casino workers union estimates that the casinos right now in macao have less than 10% of their normal customers and she is publicly calling on macao to close all of these casinos and hotels to protect the workers and employees from the deadly coronavirus. as you just heard, the macao authorities insist these establishments are still safe. however, two people from the neighboring mainland city of zhuhai that work in and around the casino industry have been diagnosed with coronavirus, and
12:36 am
that adds another risk factor for this former portuguese colony. not only are there many chinese tourists that typically come here that could bring the disease. there are also many non-resident workers from across the internal boundary that cross every day. and that could be another avenue for bringing this deadly disease to this small city. back to you. >> understanding what it means there for macao gives viewers around the world a sense offer how concerning this is for people. ivan watson, thank you for the report. >> and with nearly a dozen cases of the virus in the united states, officials here are not taking any chances. >> that's right. americans are traveling back to the united states on evacuation flights. well, they face two weeks of quarantine when they return. cnn's lucie kafanov has this. >> reporter: well, the focus now might be on that second
12:37 am
evacuation flight taking americans out of the chinese city of wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. but at least one u.s. officials who's been briefed on the matter told cnn this is not likely to be the last flight out. we could see more planes taking americans out of china due to the high demand. most of the americans in wuhan at the moment are ordinary citizens. the diplomatic staff and their families were able to get on that first flight which landed right here at the march air base. they are housed here under quarantine now for 14 days they are expected to be here just to make sure that nobody is contagious, that nobody has the illness, that folks are safe. now, the pentagon is preparing four additional bases to house americans who need potential quarantine. two of them are right here in california. fort carson and colorado and the air base in texas. the pentagon is preparing for up to 1,000 people to be housed at
12:38 am
those locations if need be. now, officials had bumped up the number of days folks need to spend under quarantine from three days to 14 days. that is because we are now learning that someone infected with the virus could be contagious long before symptoms appear. i did manage to speak to one american who is housed right here at the march air base. he said that folks are keeping their spirits high, that the base actually organized a superbowl football watch party for the 200 or so americans who were under quarantine here. it's a barbecue party. it was intended to help people feel a little better about the fact they are away from their families, away from home for so long. while he said most of them do want to get back to their families, they want to get out of here, most of the folks understand the importance of remaining under quarantine in order to keep this disease from spreading. reporting from the march air base in california, i'm lucie kafanov. >> joining me now is catherine wisnov, she is an assistant professor in the school of public policy at the university
12:39 am
of maryland. thank you so much for being with us. >> i'm glad to be here. >> now, i do want to point out your background is political science, not public health. so with that, let's start with the likely impact of the various travel bans that have been put in place. of course, with china confirming more than 17,000 cases of the coronavirus and 361 deaths so far, a travel ban seems to make perfect sense. but you and the world health organization disagree. why? >> that's right. so, yes, it does seem like a common sense public health measure, but on the one hand, public health folks will say that it has actual -- actually limited evidence that these measures stop disease spread or limit disease spread. on top of that, these measures can also cause a range of harms that can undermine outbreak preparedness and response to this current outbreak and to future outbreaks.
12:40 am
>> how do you convince countries that travel bans are not the best way to deal with this situation when most politicians want to show their citizens they are making every effort to prevent infected individuals from arriving in their country. it's counter intuitive to let people keep coming in. >> sure. >> how do you explain that to people? >> so, it is a real communication challenge. it turns out that normally viruss move too quickly for these bans to have an effect on the overall number of cases. but in addition to that, they can actually really encourage countries to conceal or downplay the extent of outbreaks. this is a real concern for global cooperation during these events. and for actually all of our security from this outbreak and future outbreaks, we need countries to want to be open and transparent. it >> it's going to be a difficult sell to individuals to say, hey, let's not do the travel bans
12:41 am
because it's not fair to that country of origin because of trade and various other issues. >> right. >> how do you sell that? >> that's a very good point and it's tough. a few things would have to change. so, first, all of the messaging around these measures needs to be very carefully calibrated. it can't just be we're not doing these bans in order to protect the target country. it actually needs to be reframed in terms of these bans undermining all of our security from these events specifically because they encourage a lack of transparency. also in this specific case, others have reported that these travel bans could actually disrupt supply chains which actually could be really problematic. so how do you change behavior? first this messaging needs to change in the way that i just described. second, you could actually kind of publicly name and shame countries that do not comply with their commitments to the
12:42 am
international health regulations. who could do that? well, the world health organization first, and then other states. >> it's a tough sell. we're out of time unfortunately. catherine, thank you so much for explaining this to us. we shall watch and see what these various countries that have put travel bans in place, what they do next. many thanks. >> thank you. >> still ahead, in northern syria four turkish soldiers were killed in fighting. >> and we will find out who zuckerberg i says is responsible when we come back. this, is why we no longer have to worry flushing too much toilet paper, will back up our system. but dad, rid-x contains billions of enzymes proven to break down even paper to keep your whole septic system healthy. for paper, grease or waste breakdown. use rid-x. we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money.
12:43 am
shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free. this is charlie not coughing because he took delsym 12-hour. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. and this is charlie still not coughing while trying his hardest not to wake zeus. delsym 12-hour. nothing lasts longer for powerful cough relief. uh, "fifteen minutes could save you 15%ain? or more on car insurance." i think we're gonna swap over to "over seventy-five years of savings and service." what, we're just gonna swap over? yep. pump the breaks on this, swap it over to that. pump the breaks, and, uh, swap over? that's right. instead of all this that i've already-? yeah. what are we gonna do with these? keep it at your desk, and save it for next time.
12:45 am
welcome back. we now know that in syria four turkish soldiers have been killed and nine more wounded in heavy shelling by syrian regime forces in the country's idlib province. >> yeah, turkey retaliated by destroying targets in the region. the turkish defense ministry added that syria carried out the shelling despite being notified

about turkish positions beforehand. well, president trump's middle east peace plan is being met with criticism in the region. the organization of islamic cooperation is meeting in jeda to discuss the proposal monday. it comes after the arab league already rejected it at their meeting over the weekend. >> in the meantime, objections are also coming from within israel. many among the country's arab population, they are protesting the plan for its proposed borders. our sam kiley explains more. >> reporter: israelis demonstrating against donald trump's peace plan which he believes could lead to a palestinian state alongside israel. but they're not jewish, they're ethnic arabs and make up about 21% of israel's population. they're saying no to a plan which, among other things, proposes redrawing the boundaries of a future
12:47 am
palestinian state. among the proposals coming from the trump administration is to incorporate israelis who identify as palestinians into a future palestinian state. that means moving the boundaries between the two from there, maybe to here. now, that's a journey of only about a mile, but it incorporates a population of about 50,000 people. that's in this town of taibai alone. the total number of people who could end up moved into a new palestinian could be over 250,000, human rights groups say. the doctor and family have lived on this boundary between israel and the west bank for decades. so if there was going to be a movement of palestinian ownership, if this town was going to be moved into a future palestinian state, that fence effectively would have to be moved from there to somewhere over there. >> yes, yes, certainly.
12:48 am
>> reporter: how many people in your town? >> we have about 50,000 people, palestinian people living in taibai. >> reporter: who would get fenced into a new palestinian state? >> yes, along with the other neighboring, you know, towns. >> reporter: these youngsters are israelis. removing their citizenship could violate the geneva conventions. he leads the arab joint list, the third largest block in israel's parliament. >> it's racist because their sending a signal and a message for the arab citizens of the state of israel. because you are saying that you are palestinians, you can be moved or transferred. so ridiculous and so unjewish. has authorized only prime minister benjamin netanyahu to
12:49 am
comment on the trump plan. it includes a u.s. green light for unilateral annexation of jewish settlements on the west bank and of the jordan valley. netanyahu stood next to trump when he said the plan will double the amount of land under palestinian control. >> mr. president, israel wants the palestinians to have a better life. we want them to have a future of national dignity, prosperity, and hope. your peace plan offers the palestinians such a future. your peace plan offers the palestinians a pathway to a future state. >> reporter: but these israeli citizens are insisting that they don't want to be forced into being part of it. sam kiley, cnn, in taibai.

welcome back. want to get back to that story we're following in syria in idlib province there. four turkish soldiers have been killed and nine more wounded in heavy shelling by the syrian regime forces. >> and for more on this, we want to turn to our daman who is joining us from istanbul. what more are you learning about this deadly attack on these turkish soldiers?
12:54 am
>> reporter: well, rosemary, this is the first time that we have seen this kind of casualty being caused by a confrontation between the turks and the syrian regime. now, in response to this -- and we just heard from turkish president erdogan. he said their country has identified 40 targets, and that they already neutralized, as they say, 30 to 35 people on the other side. they're saying this is an ongoing operation, that it is well within turkey's right to respond in kind, and that turkey would continue to potentially use artillery and even f-16s. this really, rosemary, is an indication of just how frustrated and angered turkey -- angered turkey has become because for months, even more so in the last few weeks, we've really been seeing an intensification of rhetoric from the turkish side, warning the
12:55 am
syrian regime to stop pushing forward because in the last few weeks, there's really been a very rapid push forward with the regime and the russians using air-strikes to literally obliterate entire areas, to then allow ground forces to push forward. all of this, of course, has caused a swell of internally displaced people within idlib province itself. the province is already home to well upwards of 3, 3 1/2 million people, many of them internally displaced from parts of syria. as the regime and the russians have been advancing, this flow of human it has been crushed up against the border with turkey. turkey has been warning of this growing humanitarian crisis. those who are arriving there don't have adequate shelter. the temperatures are freezing. illnesses are on the rise. and turkey is also very worried about another potential refugee influx into turkey itself, saying that it cannot handle this.
12:56 am
turkey, again, has been warning and it seems as if with the turkish -- with the syrian regime, that launching this artillery strike that ended up causing deaths among turkish forces, that is what prompted this retaliation by turkey. of course, the big question right now is going to be is this the beginning of another potential strategy by turkey? is turkey actually now going to take a more active role to protect the civilian population and stop sharing government troops from advancing? >> bringing us the latest on the deadly attack from her vantage point in istanbul, many thanks. and thank you for joining us. i'm rosemary church. >> i'm george howell. "early start" is next. hi guys. this is the chevy silv
