officially got underway in the swiss by and ski result of davos u.s. president donald trump has arrived for the summits just as his impeachment trial is due to get underway back home also attended the conference is swedish climate campaign a good talk to in bag she's already been speaking at a panel this morning with other young climate activists to beg said the global movements sparked by her friday's school strikes was only the very beginning of the fight against global warming and that more work remains to be done let's take a listen to climate and environment is is a hot topic right now and not saying i see young people pushing but of course if you see it from another perspective pretty much nothing has been done since the global emissions of c o 2 has not. reduced and that is of course what we

are trying to achieve among other things. i mean we are all fighting for for the environment and the climate and if you see from that aspect what has concrete have been done i mean if you see it for a bigger perspective than. basic in the things that of course we we had expected. it will require much more than this this is just the very beginning. let's go straight to our senior business editor ben physician who spotted at davos been the 1st live event this morning was a discussion with gratitude and activists what signal does the world economic forum want to send this. it wants to tell the world that it's green and sustainable the fact is though that many companies are not that's why they've brought along these young change makers they call them there are 10 in total moving about davos this week spreading their messages and i got to meet up with

a few of them last night which was really interesting i asked them if they were intimidated because this place is or has been often billed as a talk shop for the global elite one of them told me that she's not intimidated at all but rather inspired to be heard to have her chance to take to the stage and give her message after all she says her generation is the generation that knows the big picture. was for us was at the speech of credit to bags for us and she said that it was packed out it was a case of adults listening to teenagers for the 1st time here in davos. at the same time the opening speak up off the summit is u.s. president donna many would say he doesn't exactly fit into this pattern of a progressive sustainable economic future. he doesn't fit into the picture all he's all about giving tax breaks to companies at the same time as allowing the

polluters to get away with murder the environmentalists say they say that these companies are killing our planet for short term profits and what we need is taxes on the polluters so a price on carbon no more government subsidies for fossil fuels that's what's destroying this planet they say it's a cost for our society and a cost for our planet at the same time mr trump is letting. his billionaire buddies basically that's what critics here say it's definitely a very different message to the one the 2 back at the sustainability bennett is engaged focus at this in the green base is already accusing a banking executives attending the summit of hypocrisy and double standards what's behind the. well it says the top 10 banks have been pumping a trillion dollars into the fossil fuels in an industry which is a huge amount of money of course money that could be better spent on saving the

planet rather than wrecking it according to these environmentalist's when you look at the bigger picture of course renewables have been grainy gaining a lot of traction and when you look at the total energy mix they make up 3 times more of the investment than coal oil and gas put together so there is movement there is a change as far as investment goes in creating sustainability in a green a planet but it's not enough that's what we're hearing time and again from quiet. and from environmentalists here as well as business leaders who say the green policies are more sustainable policies will bring more for shareholders in the long term than physical of the world economic forum in davos thank you very much. let me put some other stories making news around the china has changed the former head of into poland for 30 years on bribery charges men always 10 yo as into poor chief scott shortly after he vanished on a visit to china in 2018 at

a trial last june he pleaded guilty to accepting 2 and a half $1000000.00 in bribes staying with china which has shipped the coal caps sued off its planned orbit in space station to launch space for testing the capsule will undergo fundal up tests in beijing china aims to complete construction of the space station by 2022. confirmed that 2 missiles were fired at a you're creating an airliner that was brought down in tehran earlier this month 176 people were killed and iran initially denied downing the plane before its revolutionary guard accepted for responsibility. concerns are growing over the rapid spread of a new strain of corona virus in china where it's being blamed for 6 deaths and laws and fact it almost 300 people cases have also surfaced in thailand japan and south

korea as a traveler of russia ahead of china's lunar new year holiday gathers space domestic and overseas air force have begun screening travelers from the affected region airports and train stations on high alert across china this after authorities revealed the coronavirus can be spread between humans something they had previously ruled out officials there say vigilance is key to stopping the spread. what. i think the outbreak is in its early stages. though they have been more than 100 cases this is a small number compared to the population of 100 which is more than 10000000 because of it but we need to be on high alert the outbreak can be totally reversed the measures are taken now and show you go. health authorities believe the virus originated at this now closed market in wu han which sold fish

and wild animals the outbreak coincides with the lunar new year holiday the busiest travel time in china on the streets concern is growing. could be your why even make our own dollars of course i'm worried i just went to buy mosques i tried buying mosques around my neighborhood before leaving but they were all sold out i'm worried because so many people will be traveling. if they don't want it. done to the will result but honestly on us i have no idea which reports to believe i just trust my instincts i'm not that confident that authorities have the situation under control i think the number of infected could be far more already reported. but there's also a lot of locals to take as a canadian i don't know because i'm worried and the virus could spread rapidly if cross infection happens during this travel period the epidemic will be terrible in

. other countries including australia are also implementing enhanced screening measures authorities there say they are monitoring a possible case of the virus. the world health organization will meet on wednesday to decide if you outbreak should be declared an international public health emergency. joining me now is huge obvious signs correspond to derrick williams welcome adenike within the space of last few weeks we have 3 people 300 people who were infected with this virus 6 people have died how dangerous is this new grown up iris well it's a group the coronavirus is belong to a group of viruses that up until now around 7 different strains have been identified that in fact human beings and they range from things that cause sometimes like the common cold to stars or mariners which are actually quite deadly diseases i mean mers kills more than 30 percent of the people who contract it sars

kills about 10 percent of the people who contract it so for this disease doesn't appear to be nearly that lethal not that deadly the numbers of people who have died are keeping within a fairly small group. and if people don't have compromised immune systems it appears to not affect them too badly so how deadly is it it is a core can be deadly in its current form how deadly could it become that's another question entirely and it's already spread to 3 of the asian countries and 2 other countries australia and the philippines looking at patients with these food symptoms what can you tell us about these cases well most of these cases all of these cases actually originated with people who apparently contract the disease in han so they've flown on to those countries from that epicenter if you will of the current outbreak now in will 100 appears that it that it came from an from an a market that sold seafood and also wild animals within the city and how wild

animals often serve as reservoirs with these kinds of viruses which can then if they're in close contact with human beings can also leap what's called the species barrier and mutate and viruses like this one that were apparently saying right now how well prepared is china to contain this 5 because as we know the. holiday starting and millions of chinese on the move well they're probably actually could have happened at a really at a worse time but on the other hand china seems to have understood the message that it needs to be transparent now back in 20022003 with the stars are bringing that was one of the biggest problems china tried to cover up the fact that in this epidemic was going on and that just made things worse because in the modern world obviously people are moving their crossing international borders people we have to be transparent and outbreak kinds of situations like this so that we know where things are starting and where we need to put measures in place to make sure that they don't spread further now the sars epidemic that you mentioned killed 600

people does this new corona virus have the same kind of potential when you're talking about viruses potential is kind of a tricky word because as. viruses can also mutate quite rapidly so could it become deadly yes but is it deadly now no wait appears not and it never has to become that way really the next few days the coming days and months are going to be critical of these kinds of outbreaks they don't start overnight and they don't end overnight we're going to have to wait and see whether the measures that in place that are now in place are able to contain it and we're really we've come a very very long way since the stars epidemic of 2000 to 2003 and the question is have we gone far enough right that have to wait and see dedicate their lives for this science says thank you very much. now members of mexico's national guard defied tear gas at migrants trying to cross into the country from guatemala

hundreds of migrants and refugees began waving to the border river after authorities closed a border gate on the nearby bridge mexico is cracking down and is regular 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 that 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 also to give them i'm scared and i don't want to go back to my country and the cause is nothing that no work 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 in player yeah but i think the majority of both suffer from violence and discrimination we just don't have the option of staying in our country no not anymore old son decided to fight. last year mexico stopped allowing migrants to cross its territory with few restrictions in june officials vowed unprecedented steps to block crossings into the u.s. absolutely the country was responding to threats issued by president donald trump it was 1st 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.

to the west african nation of ghana amid drilling opportunities many farmers migrate to europe some have found work there as liberators on massive vegetable farms was harvested on those farms tomatoes for example often can't and exported globally including ironically to ghana and as an exclusive video of the documentary shows it's precisely these competitors imports that are making life hard for gandhian follows. is a tomato farmer. and ghana central farming region. she grows tomatoes on about there of land but even though the harvests are good she's barely getting by. they'd be asked we've had to buy water every day for about one and a half month that'll continue until the rainy season starts we have lots of problems that's why it's so hard to survive in. the moment. because all of the

domestic tomato processing plants have stopped production and other farmers are only able to sell to the so-called market queens dealers who resell the tomatoes and other cities there's an oversupply in the high season and so the prices drop to almost nothing. it's 2 weeks ago we sold these crates for twice as much. if there's no demand like today and we farm a smaller less just give the crates away. we sell them at any price. i might be honest. and chronic financial difficulties led benedict as husband to go to europe where he works as a farm laborer in italy he's able to send money home every month to provide for his family and pay his children's tuition. many gun hands and other africans have ended up in southern italy the tomatoes that grow here are canned and mainly sold abroad

including to ghana the men work for low wages few of them are working legally with permits criminal middlemen take advantage of the situation. they're going to get if it's major for these crates you get 3 or 50 or 4 for such a huge crate you. would to come from coca-cola you know. even if they work hard for morning until night the men receive at most 20 to 30 euros a day. who are often no one in africa would believe that we work here. abandoned houses huts and tents in the middle of fields where there is no water no plumbing no power or heating the farmhands live here and many have done so for several years. how many years i spent in this country and my country. to have all from that.

would have to. they only have cell phone contact with the relatives benedict hasn't seen her husband for a long time. even so she's glad he went to europe. almost immediately and thanks to the money we have a roof over our heads and can continue to build i have spent by bit if he were here it would be very hard for us i'm happy that people leave and seek greener pastures . the tomato farmer frequently sees young men carrying backpacks she knows that the next group of gun ians are on their way north. joining me now is francisco a lot of the focus is an agriculture trade for the german n.g.o.s bred for the wild welcome francisco as we saw from our report of

a vicious cycle in global trade but this is a globalized how does gonna cope from competition from tomatoes from italy as well as china which is also flooding the gandhian market for tomatoes. tried to build factories. with huge produce of fresh tomatoes they have enough tomato. but not the whole year long and then. once the. chinese special italian ones which started to flood the market they are cheaper and that's the question if i have opportunity. to recover their own mark but how does one explain that tomatoes from overseas are cheaper than local tomatoes because the got

a gun in government is trying to encourage people to buy look at produce but on the price is right people will still buy what is cheaper. yes that's true and it's all started 2025 years ago this was europeans up to decent agriculture as you might know we have a lot of subsidies until 2010 there were subsidies in south italy for. italian 2 major producers so the teams were the cheaper the gunney and once then the. subsidies stopped and the chinese came in with a because they have a huge production of tomato paste and italian were still there but they put the paste tomato paste tense in ghana even in qana themselves but then the refugees came to south italy and as we have seen the italian are now back increased 400 percent exports again to ghana because of the cheap labor they have now with the refugees and internally they tell you things are back in the. market.

for producers especially for those who want to build up factories there is no chance in the market so what do countries like ghana do then i mean is one of the countries that for example. set in important areas in export so that their markets would be protected is that a way out it could be one but ghana has an obstacle they have a trade agreement with the european union and in this trade agreement there's a stance that clause which prohibits the increase of terrorists to protect themselves neighboring nigeria has done it at the beginning of the year and in part then. gonna do it even not increased terrorist but also in part possible okies is of a difficult situation specially in the case of ghana francisco money from bed for there was an ngo thank you fail toilets. and you can watch the 1st documentary called tomatoes and greed the exit of ghana's farmers. from brain stay.
