a company the world economic forum has officially begun in davos u.s. president donald trump has given the opening speech at the summit which is taking place as the senate in washington prepares to open his impeachment trial the president used his address to pitch the united states the deal with business community saying his country has seen an economic turnaround that is in his words nothing short of spectacular he also used the platform to criticize climate change activists some of them who are attending the event calling them prophets of doom have a listen this is not a time for pessimism this is a time for optimism fear and doubt is not a good thought process because this is a time for tremendous hope and joy and optimism in action but to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their

predictions of the apocalypse. they are the heirs of yesterday's foolish fortune tellers and i have them and you have them and we all have that. and they want to see is too badly but we don't let that happen joining me now is the w.'s genelle adama line she is part of the d w a team in don was welcome janelle are one of donald trump's more is a terry comments talking about prophets of doom and fortune tellers what's been the reaction there. as a terrorist is a nice word probably kinder than the words many would use here to describe that particular sound bite that particular part of his speech and he also said it in the same breath as he said that he was going to the u.s. was going to join a one trillion tree planting initiative and it was really the only nod to the environment in his entire speech he came very late and it very much communicated to
3:04 pm
the listening audience where his priorities were in terms of the environment which is to say not very high everybody noticed that at the sort of forum where sustainability has been the buzzword throughout that donald trump was making the keynote speech address at davos and he spoke for quite a wide what else struck you about what he said well it was certainly a very colorful speech that he had he talked about how the u.s. was it exploding geiser of op of economic opportunity followed by the wreckage left by previous administrations i guess what was most noteworthy about the speech was how out of step it was with the topic and also with the audience remember that the this is a forum about multilateralism and co-operation but his speech was a campaign rally style speech that seemed more designed for the voters at home who are of course going to vote in the upcoming elections or perhaps even as a distraction to the to the impeachment proceedings that are facing him also at
3:05 pm
home so in the end this was a speech about the u.s. a speech about himself and that had actually very little to do with the goals that the world economic forum is that these purportedly trying to achieve here and you know good to talk to anybody has also been talking to delegates in davos and one of the things she said was combating climate change is not about politics let's take a quick listen to that from sustainability perspective the right the left as well as the center have all failed. no political ideology or economic structure has been able to tackle the climates and environmental emergency and create a cohesive and sustainable world. because that world in case you haven't noticed is currently on fire so little that was quite a fresh burst but perspective there from britain but she seemed to be saying it and
3:06 pm
die generation the older generation is feeling the environment regardless of political direction what we have to say i think along those lines one of the most powerful things that she had to say was that the older generation should behave like it loves its children so she was saying that there shouldn't be a low carbon economy there shouldn't be low emissions there should be 00 emissions and that is that is the way towards saving the future of these children now what she's hoping to do here is to be able to convince the industry to follow her lead on this and turn and turn its back on fossil fuels now whether this will actually happen they support her outwardly but whether this will actually happen is something that we're going to have to see after the world economic forum they have to play the long game here. rights are 2 very very different visions coming out of davos on the fullest day of the world economic forum summit one from daughter from

breach u.s. sanctions in iran china says the case is politically motivated. concerns are growing over the rapid spread of a new strain of corona virus in china the virus has cost $6.00 deaths and infected or list $300.00 people cases of also surfaced in thailand japan south korea and the philippines as a traveler russia head of china's lunar new year holiday gathers space domestic and overseas ample its have begun screening travelers from the affected region. airports and train stations on high alert across china. this after authorities revealed the corona virus can be spread between humans something they have previously ruled out officials there say vigilance is key to stopping the spread. what if you did a one i think the outbreak is in its early stage and. though they have been more
3:09 pm
than 100 cases this is a small number compared to the population of 100 which is more than 10000000 because we need to be on high alert the outbreak can be totally reversed if all measures are taken now and show you go. to 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 body we make our own dogs 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. 50 to one. does it all result but honestly honestly i have no idea which reports to believe i
3:10 pm
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 important. but there's also a lot of little to take as a canoe you are going to cause i'm worried and the virus could spread rapidly you 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 the outbreak should be declared an international public health emergency. the impeachment trial against u.s. president gets underway later today trump is charged with abusing his presidential power by asking ukraine to investigate democratic political driver joe biden and of
3:11 pm
obstructing congress as it looked into his conduct trump's legal team is demanding a sphere ft for by the senate. back to work house impeachment managers the democrats prosecuting u.s. president donald trump filed 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 devil swell 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 either way. we
3:12 pm
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 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 that he should no longer be the commander in chief it's an effort 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. and for more i'm joined by reporter jill dougherty joins us
3:13 pm
a huge amount of interest in this trial which is due to start in a few hours in washington tell us it's not a trial in a traditional sense though is it well it has a judge it has prosecutors it has so-called jury members there may be witnesses and evidence called but don't let any of that distract you because this is all about politics and it's not about justice so the senators have all sworn an oath of impartiality but we already know some of them have taken sides for example the leader of the senate the republican leader of the senate mitch mcconnell before christmas he said that he's taking his cues directly from the white house let's have a listen to. well exactly how we go forward i'm going to coordinate with the present lawyers so there won't be any different for the trade offs on how to do those cases so darn week coming over from the house we all know how it's going to be on there's no chance the president's going to be removed from office so that's kind of like a judge taking orders directly from the defendant and we also know it's on the
3:14 pm
other side on the on the democrat side were actually elected specifically saying they want to impeach trump so this is going to come down to party loyalty in the end and the majority of senators are loyal to trump ok so tell us more about how the impeachment hearings we proceed today is going to kick off at 1 pm washington time which is in the evening in europe $100.00 senators are going to file into the chamber they have to hand over their mobile phones they may elect to kick the media out now also they're going to be if that's going to be followed by 4 days of opening arguments which competes last 12 hours each then there are going to be another couple of days of questionings and debates so that might seem like a really long time but what you have to remember is that bill clinton's impeachment trial lasted for over a month and a half so this one could be comparatively short interestingly the accused himself mr donald j. trump doesn't have to appear and he can't appear today because he's in davos he may be back in washington tomorrow but nobody's expecting him to show up he's being
3:15 pm
represented by lawyers and until any surprises expected in this trial is it going to be fairly predictable the surprises may come from the witnesses the democrats want to call a specific list of people to give testimony they include john bolton the former national security adviser. to the secretary of state as well as some white house insiders and associates of donald trump's lawyers now whether or not they're going to be able to do that will come down to 4 republican senators who are on the fence if the depart if the democrats can over the next few days convince those swing voters to allow witnesses this could be a very interesting trial indeed we could hear some evidence we haven't heard before it will totally change the dynamic if however they fail to win those swing voters this could all be over next week with a very predictable outcome which would be acquittal so we just have to wait and see joe thank you very much for that. getting out to
