hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us in china concerns are growing over the rapid spread of a deadly corona virus so far the virus has been blamed for 4 deaths with more than 200 patients infected in china and cases also being reported in thailand japan and south korea with millions preparing to travel for the lunar new year holiday several countries are beginning to screen travelers from the affected region. in which an infected patients are treated in isolation wards at the ready is not confirmed over $200.00 cases of coronavirus symptoms include fever and difficulty breathing although there have been deaths authorities say most patients are not seriously ill health authorities believe the outbreak originated at this now closed market in new han which sold fish and wild animals researchers at imperial college london suspect the rate of infection may be much higher than the official figures

they estimate there could be $1723.00 cases in will han beijing says it's taking the situation seriously really wanted to go to vote with regarding our measures to prevent the epidemic spreading i can say that the government is now checking everybody who leaves the city if you take your lot. who hans train stations have been equipped with thermal detectors to screen passengers for fever symptoms and medical personnel are on standby neighboring countries have also introduced checks at airports the virus has been detected in people travelling from move on to south korea thailand and japan airports outside asia are also screening passengers. and joining me now from sydney australia is dr raina macintyre she's head of the bio security research program at the university of new south wales and she's an expert on infectious diseases and epidemic control thanks for talking with

us dr mcintyre what makes this virus so dangerous. well we're concerned because it's similar to 2 other serious chronic ours is most current a virus and front of virus and sons particularly was quite contagious and caused epidemics in several countries including canada vietnam homegrown singapore and we are concerned particularly the chinese new year that the spread of the infection through travel well i understand that australian authorities where you are now screening for infections there's one suspected case what can be done to stop this virus from spreading. detecting cases really early is critical and for that you need good surveillance systems and

screening and then once you've detected someone who's interested placing them in isolation checking all the context of making sure that them one intent for development of symptoms and then the use of infection control measures such as person protective equipment and washing. and so on particularly in hospitals is really important with but and most coronavirus we saw quite serious hospital outbreaks that resulted in the spread to be infection so these viruses tend to cause hospital breaks and so the hospital needs to be a front it's really now this particular outbreak we're experiencing now it's being compared to the sars infections you mentioned sars already those sars infections in 2000 to 2003 killed over 600 people in china does this new virus have that kind of lethal potential. we don't know yet because we haven't seen published

analysis of the epidemiology of the disease we do not know if it's right it seems to be much lower than it was with some has only days and as i said we need to see the complete data analyzed to be able to compare the death rate and entire thank you very much for talking with us that was dr reiner macintyre she's head of the bio security research program at the university of new south wales let's catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today senior while way executive may know one shoe has appeared at a court in canada on the 1st day of her extradition trial saying was arrested by canada on a warrant from the united states which has accused her of covering up attempts to breach u.s. sanctions on iran china says the case is politically motivated. protesters in puerto rico are demanding the resignation of the territories governor over the

botched delivery of emergency aid after recent earthquakes that left thousands in need help like anger erupted over a bit ago showing a government warehouse full of supplies left over from hurricane maria in 2017. u.s. or terry state mike compares says washington plans to step up its support for bennis while an opposition leader was. met with on the sidelines of a regional gathering in colombia at the meeting by the accused venezuelan president nicolas maduro of aiding terrorist groups. members of mexico's national guard have fired tear gas at migrants trying to cross into the country from guatemala hundreds of myra's began waiting through the border river after authorities closed the border gate on a nearby bridge mexico was cracking down on irregular migration following pressure from washington for the country to enforce tougher policies. that questioned reach

the u.s. is ending here for many. mexico's national guard forcibly repelled hundreds of migrants trying to storm in southern border. officials also detained several 100 who may face deportation some parents and children reportedly got separated during the crossing. was most of the migrants are from honduras and say they want to escape rampant poverty and crime. ridden or soon to commit them lou i'm scared and i don't want to get back to my country and because there's nothing that no one my daughter and i go hungry i think i'm a muslim member of the l.g.b. t. community it's very hard to find a job down in flames yet but i think the majority of us suffer from violence and discrimination we just don't have the option of staying in our country no not that a morsel till this thing is to fight. last year mexico stopped allowing migrants to

cross its territory with few restrictions in june officials unprecedented steps to block crossings into the us absolutely the country was responding to threats issued by president donald trump strace he had tweeted in may we will impose increasing tariffs on all goods coming into our country from mexico until illegal migrants stop coming through and into our country. mexico's tougher stance appears to be having an effect since may u.s. officials say there's been a steady drop in the number of people arrested or stopped at its southern border. you're watching news still to come america's pro-gun lobby stages a massive rally of virginia and bourne's democrat lawmakers to try to rein us in. and the ethiopian government wants to open up its country to investment but its

local communities are paying the price we hear from the overload valley where the morsy tribe reports killings and arbitrary detention. the annual gathering of the world economic forum officially begins today in the swiss alpine ski resort boss it's the place where corporate executives heads of government and other leaders from around the globe gather in an informal setting to discuss major issues this year climate change and income inequality are expected to be key issues u.s. president donald trump is due to liver the forms keynote speech later today. our correspondent ben physical and is part of our team in davos and joins me now ben the most striking thing about davos today for most people will probably be the contrast between the 2 speakers daltry and gratitude burg.

you couldn't get any more different terry could do it you've got big business represented by donald trump he's going to be using this as a platform for reelection touting his economy how fantastic things are running in the u.s. but the world as a whole isn't running so fantastically well talk to gratitude back and she says we're facing a climate militancy that companies need to act now you hear a lot of talk here about companies going carbon neutral even carbon negative it's a rethink as i say it is not seeing all of this action according to the figures according to the surveys you see a consultancy just released a survey he's saying that only 24 percent i think it was a 42 percent rather of a c. saying no 24 percent of c.e.o.'s say that they're extremely concerned about the climate whereas the world economic forum has been listing climate topics as the big

long term risks so we're still seeing a very skewed. vision and a skewed skewed opinions as far as companies go here and it's going to be very interesting to see what your book and trump say today. social entrepreneurship is something we're hearing a lot about too regular focus of the davos summit tell us more about that. well the thing is. promotion has been huge here every of us for the past decade but the thing is these are projects that social entrepreneurs are engaged in fantastic stuff that they're doing and changing the world and making sure that societal needs are addressed it's whether or not the big companies adopts this type of framework that they start also leading the way in addressing societal needs and not just shareholders and that's what has been saying the founder of the event that we need

to see a stakeholder attitude taken on that everyone the community the customers society and our planet is addressed so environmental needs as well not just profits we did catch up with some of the social entrepreneurs here in davos let's have a listen in to what they had to say. getting around town it felt to be a challenge some venue as i location as now to cheat of 1800 meters making them accessible only by cable car put social entrepreneurs among the martin poor kids worth the journey to draw attention to what they feel is the world's most pressing issues business cannot continue as usual business just for profit maximizing profit destroys the planet and destroy the population. some 20 social entrepreneurs have come to davos at the invitation of the shot foundation and the world economic forum they're demanding

a new kind of capitalism. no time in history has it become more important for us to look at this concept of stakeholder capitalism we are facing such widening inequality a sense of non inclusion of everyone that i think the time has come for business government and social entrepreneurs. to really understand how each other works the social entrepreneurs acknowledge that change won't come overnight but the concept of uniting business with social change does appear to be gaining traction. for me being a social entrepreneur is identifying a social problem seeing what i can do creating the solutions and then taking them to scheme working with the government or the private sector so that they can be included in the system the winds may be changing but some say not fast

enough while the work of social entrepreneurs may now be acknowledged there often still fighting to be heard listen to the people listen to what young young men and women are saying listen to what people are saying in the villages the good news is that we have technology today so we can have in addition to a top down effort like the world economic forum a participatory bottom up approach. social entrepreneurs have come from a round of the worlds to be in. their message there is a fairer and more sustainable way of doing business. social entrepreneurship may sound like good p.r. but the main concern for many businesses remains profit can that to really be reconciled. it's very difficult putting these 2

topics together and trying to get a good result terry what the forum is doing though is running up and you manifesto which is very interesting saying that companies need to pay taxes 1st of all 0 tolerance as far as corruption goes up holding human rights in their supply chains and also advocating a level playing field when it comes to competition and that's a lot to expect from business but it would give us fantastic results if all these companies did start doing that today ben thank you so much that was spent for us and he'll be back throughout the day together with more members of our team there in switzerland ben thanks so much for now the impeachment trial against u.s. president donald trump who's also in davos today gets under way in washington today trump is charged with abusing his presidential power by asking ukraine to investigate democratic political rival joe biden and of obstructing congress as it

looked into his conduct trials legal team is demanding a swift acquittal by the senate. back to what house impeachment manages the democrats prosecuting u.s. president and will trump a brief making fresh demands for a fair trial in the senate. almost simultaneously trump's defense lawyers filed a brief of their own slamming the trial as a dangerous perversion of the constitution. but as both sides get ready for the showdown the president himself boarded a plane headed thousands of miles away to the economic forum in switzerland even if trump doesn't get an outright acquittal with republicans in control of the senate a confident he'll be clear it's the way. we know that he's not going to be removed from office we need help be acquitted in

the senate so but again we respect the senate process so if a republican senator or a democratic senator wants to make a motion to dismiss will follow along in the vote with the trial just hours away the nation is split. we're definitely divided in the country but i think the majority feel the same way that i do but i'm no longer be the commander in chief it's enough for from democrats to try to get some of the power that they seem to be losing is slipping away from them i am very hopeful that there will be witnesses there will be documents and they the truth will come out that this president put our country in danger. with republicans calling for 12 hour daily sessions with only the 3rd presidential impeachment trial in u.s. history is set to be a grueling one. the clerk will and staying in the u.s. thousands of gun pro-gun activists from across the country have staged a rally in the state of virginia urging lawmakers to abandon plans for stricter gun

controls democrats promised to tighten gun legislation after they gained control of the state legislature in november but their proposed package of controls has infuriated gun rights campaigners. pro-gun campaign is gather in richmond every january but this year they are here in fog greater numbers with new reason to rally for that cause no make is in virginia are pushing forward with a package of gun control legislation including universal background checks a ban on assault style rifles and a limit of $100.00 gun purchase per month gun rights supporters a furious are all of these rights are god given no one can take them away we have a right to defend ourselves and our families. so we're here to let them know that they can take our rights away we don't need the government telling us where our rights are are not there our government does not take away our rights. and if the

governor keep fortune like his do a crowd of friends there you go to say a 2nd revolution in america like the 1st revolution where people get shot. for possible violence prompted governor ralph northam to ban weapons on the capitol grounds and declare a temporary state of emergency. she is fueled by the memory of shot at still in 2017 when a white supremacist attending a rally drove his car into an anti-racism protest and killed. a nice kept some gun control activists away from planned kind of protests with all of the threats and all of the terribly violent rhetoric that's going on right now our main goal is not to engage with going to extremists today we're really here to be present in the legislature to make our voices heard to underscore a majority but also to honor for the moral agency that we have as our generation

affected by gun violence figures show 2019 was the worst year on record for mass shootings in the united states. the total number of people fatally shot also increased last year according to data from gun violence a nonprofit that tracks shootings. and these activists insist guns on the problem they say any attempt to tighten control is infringes their constitutional right to bear and as a key rallying point for the fight against what they see as a national liberation of gun rights. the ethiopian government is moving to privatized the country's 13 sugar factories as part of a drive to open up the economy where the move has left local communities feeling marginalized 4 of those factories known as the state are located in the southern valley military crackdown there aim to disarm local communities and reduce the chance of conflict witnesses have spoken of killings an arbitrary detention in this

report their identities have been kept anonymous to assure their safety. this woman from the bodhi tribe is mourning her husband and children they were killed by the military about 3 months ago part of a government campaign to disarm if you move ali and when. they came to our village and started to hit us and kill us anyone who started to run away was a whole chicken many people lost their lives and the village is empty now. like many other bodies' she had her family lost their farmland now owned by one of the area's for sugar factories she says she didn't receive any type of compensation that's left her and others frustrated and there have been revenge attacks including an factory employees according to this man the military attack is a retaliation for those incidents. to move the government collected the guns because they think if the bodies have guns they will not allow the factories to

produce sugar and they will try to protect their land. after they took our guns they started to kill us and many have been jailed. about to him with mercy is the tried famous for the plates the women where were also detained and tortured in the military camp in october and november some are accused of killings hiding weapons or stealing cattle from other tribes and this man says he was denied food for 6 consecutive days along with women and children. at some point they took 15 elders in sword and started keeping them they also pulled the gentleman's water rose from her bed. you know coulthard he's refused to come and visit in michigan factories to find out more was impossible despite official requests we were not allowed to get past this checkpoint or visit any other sugar plantation the local police also considerably restrained our freedom of movement in the area some suspect that the

military crackdown is part of a government effort to make the area more attractive to investors by reducing conflicts the disarmament campaign started many years. but it was not usually so violent according to data they can't speak research. factories we have to keep in mind that the cross project is not only in agricultural development scheme but it's actually like a regional development scheme which was meant to modernize. the region that the people the people living in the lower leagues and this also involves something. which can be called a civilizational mission. and also what has been described to me ass establishing law and order so i think you know it's just a continuation but stopped it maybe 10 years ago he says it will be difficult to find investors at the moment although that's a key goal of the state owned sugar corporation it's still a lot of technical challenges to actually make those those estates operational but it's also the reputational risk involved for investors and the project got

a lot of negative publicity over the last couple of years mainly due to very bad information management from the site of the sugar corporation and the way local communities that traditionally used the land that's been treated or not included in the entire decision making process researchers working on the valley have urged the governments to investigate the allegation mercy's now fear a new attack in the coming months some villages are still refusing to hand in their guns clinging to their own names of protecting their families and cattle. and just a reminder the main stories we're following for you here today on the news chinese health officials have confirmed a new strain of the corona virus can be transmitted from person to person raising fears of an epidemic the virus has killed 4 people so far and infected more than 2 . and as world leaders and c.e.o.'s gather in davos switzerland for the world
