played. this is didn't use live from berlin the world so wealthy and powerful gather in the swiss alps for the 50th world's economic forum president donald trump opened the gathering of the world's business and political elite by hailing the strength of the u.s. economy and boasting america is winning like never before climate activists to agree to to work has also been addressing delegates were in davos for you with the latest also coming up trampled on trial the u.s. president may be away in davos but on capitol hill lawmakers are debating removing

him from office a contentious and partisan spectacle is on the currents as strums in teaching a child begins in earnest plus sounding the alarm chinese state media reported a 6th person has now died from a new a coronavirus international airports and train stations are screening passengers for mainland china concerned growing up as health officials now were the virus can be passed from human to human and mexican border guards clash with migrants trying to cross into the country from guatemala while people have been waiting across the river on the border after authorities closed a nearby bridge they were using. thank you so much for your company everyone the world economic forum has kicked off in davos us for. donald trump opened gave the opening speech rather at the high

profile 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 to the global business community gathered in that ski resort saying the country has seen an economic turnaround that is quote nothing short of spectacular he also used to the platform to criticize the climate change activists some of whom are attending the event calling * them quote prophets of doom. all right let's get you the very latest now do we have you our gave us is in davos for you to report on the world economic forum or have your good to see you president dollar terms more esoteric speech we can see the opening speech at the world economic forum evoking profits and fortune tell us what more can you tell us about it. well i will tell you that he did not really receive

an overwhelming applause or a standing ovations after his speech but of course he made a big effort to stress out the fact that the u.s. economy is working for the middle class in the united states helping those who have been struggling in the last few years and that it has taken the millions of people out of poverty that is maybe maybe the message that he thought it would resonate with the elite here in davos that meets only not only to stress out some of the problems in certain countries but also the global problems and maybe that was the main reason for the criticism around his speech the fact that it was so centered in the united states that he did not really address any of the big global issues that people here are trying to bring forward to discuss in a global forum of course we're talking about the countries where did that are under privileged that do not have the resources sources that the united states has and that cannot follow the policies. that donald trump is touting as

a role model for the rest of the world to follow now let's talk about gratitude also had the opportunity to take it to the stage show what did he tell powerful that were gathered there. well gratitude stayed on message delivering what we would expect from her specifically the warning signs that it is already almost too late to act and that what has been proposed so far will not work she can consistently criticized the net 0 policies that are tackling carbon emissions saying that we have to get to 0 emissions not net 0 emissions and that is maybe the most important part of the message when we compare what donald trump said about those prophets of doom citing basically or mentioning the climate change activists that are saying this is the time to act we have to do something he thinks that technology and innovation can bring forward solutions that will tackle the climate

crisis where great us exactly on the other hand said that we cannot rely on technologies that are not very yet in order to solve this problem so we have very contrast in visions of what can and should be done right now the u.s. president may be in davos where you are but on capitol hill back home a lawmakers are discussing potentially removing him from office did he say anything about that. he did not say anything about that on his speech and as far as we know here we haven't heard a single word of donald trump regarding this impeachment process of course in line with how he has perceived this impeachment trial in the 1st place often mentioning it as being a witch hunt we know that already he seems to go into line with the profits and the which is in that matter however of course this tells many of the critics here in davos that there is

a significant part of the united states that is not pleased with how donald trump is governing and is not pleased with his policies and of course that should bring a lot of discussions on the table in the next few days here in davos to how do i get us that reporting at thank you. and as we just heard impeachment trial against the u.s. president to donald trump begins in earnest in just a few hours time will present trump is charged with abusing his presidential power by asking the country of ukraine to investigate democratic political rival joe biden and of obstructing congress as it looked into his conduct well the trump's legal team is demanding a swift acquittal by the senate. back to house impeachment manages the democrats prosecuting u.s. president donald trump filed a brief making fresh to months for a fair trial in the senate. almost simultaneously trump's defense lawyers filed a brief. slamming the trial as

a dangerous perversion of the constitution. even if trump doesn't get an outright acquittal with republicans in control of the senate a confidence to be cleared the way. we know that he's not going to be removed from office you know they hope 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 i think that our president's been attacked for no reason he's done good things for the country probably so some stuff you shouldn't say from time to time but no it's not perfect but there's no we've heard him for we've already impeach one president here you know anywhere so i'm just hoping that someone actually get in there they can do the job right trump is one of these guys that can kind of get away with anything because everything he does controversial so people

can become immune to the controversy surrounding him with republicans calling for 12 hour daily sessions what's only the 3rd presidential impeachment trial in u.s. history is set to be a grueling one. all right and we can take you now to do is washing bureau chief alexander von naaman she is joining us now from capitol hill on what is i think by all descriptions a momentous day does it feel like a momentous day for americans. or does it feel like a momentous day where you are how americans perceiving the opening of the trial. yes indeed it is another historic day i would say here on capitol hill and another a day that will probably show us how divided this nation and its lawmakers lawmakers are. well it really feels like

a historic day here on capitol hill and a day that will probably once again show us how divided this nation and its lawmakers are and because those alone may grow makers of on both sides of the aisle are bracing for a very heated contentious debate over the rules for this impeachment trial today chuck schumer. the senate minority leader said today that watch the republicans are proposing is a national disgrace that they want to cover up the president's crimes while the republicans are saying that the whole impeachment thing is a hoax and that the president didn't get a trial in the house proceedings so as you can see this is a very toxic partisan atmosphere here in which this impeachment trial is going to take place in a pause and i understand that we have

a significant delay i hope we have sorted out in the meantime what are we expecting on the senate floor to take place now on this day day number one. since today we probably are going to see a very fierce heated debate over the rules for this impeachment trial senate majority leader mitch mcconnell proposed that he would like to give every side legal team and the house managers each 24 hours over divided over 2 days to present their case the democrats are not happy with that because they say that that would mean that the senate is going to debate

a world beyond me tonight and that is the time that no one is expected to be watching so here again they're accusing the republicans of trying to distract the attention from this trial and they also say that they would like the republicans to put the evidence gathered in the house proceedings on the record something that the republicans are denying them so far so a heated and fierce debate that is what we have to expect today alexander van naaman reporting from capitol hill think you and apologies for the significant delay. all right when i bring in some of the other stories making news around the world. protesters in puerto rico are demanding the resignation of the territory's governor over the botched delivery of emergency aid after recent earthquakes that left thousands in need of public anger erupted over a viral video showing a government warehouse full of surprises left over from hurricane maria back in

2017. meanwhile iran's civil aviation authority has confirmed that 2 missiles were fired at a ukrainian airliner that was brought down in tehran earlier this month 176 people were killed iran initially denied downing the plane before its revolutionary guard accepted full responsibility. russian authorities say 11 people have died in a fire that destroyed a worker's shack in siberia most of the victims or migrants from was based on a chinese company used the hut as a dormitory for sawmill workers want to turn our attention now to concerns that are growing over the rapid spread of a new strain of corona virus in china while the virus has cost $6.00 deaths and infected almost $300.00 people cases have also surface and other asian countries as in travel russia now ahead of the china's of china's lunar new year holiday gathers

pace domestic and overseas airports 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 had 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 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 you because we need to be on high alert the outbreak can be totally reversed if all measures are taken now and shoddy. health authorities believe the virus originated at this now closed market in ruhani 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 money may 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 shot. if the job was. done to all result but honestly honest 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 important. but there's also a kind of a little fear to take us a canoe you are going to cause i'm worried and the virus could spread rapidly if crossing fiction happens during this travel period the epidemic will be terrible in the myopia although you and all. other countries including australia are also

implementing enhanced screening measures authorities there say they are monitoring a possible jency. indeed has a lot of people worried a list taken out of the chinese capital beijing we're joined a correspondent fabiana fabiano so the numbers now reported by authorities there are 6 deaths and 300 people infected how reliable are those numbers. well i mean that's what we have and that's what you have to trust but i can tell you that every young person in china and beijing that i've talked to says. it's really skeptical whether that's accurate or not and i think what enhanced is this paranoia against information of the government it's also that there's a lot of online censorship going on and you can see from the government reports from the news reports that the government is really concerned about calming down the population i am so. if you look at other estimates for example from the

imperial college of london scientists they assume that roughly $1700.00 should be affected but that's of course only calculation models that are based on probability so we don't know for sure but we what we can assume is that the number 60 higher than what the government has told recently and how of some people are on high alert where you are i presume how are they protecting themselves from a contract to this mysterious virus. and it's quite interesting starting from today you can actually see this growing sea of the people because they do work face masks i would say in downtown beijing every 2nd passer by roughly wears a face mask and checked several pharmacies and also online shops and we're out of sales i mean that's definitely a sign but i think the you know a device by a medical experts say actually quite simple washing your hands regularly with hot water and soap and soul and also maybe wearing your face mark and that's enough

that's basically simple hygiene and of course that's making this so difficult to contain is that what is a happy occasion the lunar new year is coming up very soon a peak travel season of the year how could that affect the spread of this virus. yeah i would expect that it affects very much because the recent cases that we've seen in south korea in thailand in japan were all by travelers from and that's one of the transports hops off the country to be treated in central china between the east coast and provinces in the west and drink lunar new year 400000000 chinese people will be traveling so of course the virus will spread but just to put it into context their exports medical experts don't really share that panic that you can see among many people because the numbers are actually still quite low and. the endemic that we had in 2000 to virus doesn't seem

esmie thought and also the danger of infection is not that high it's about 400000000 people on the move that is a staggering number correspond to talking on a crutch or reporting from beijing thank you if you're watching t.v. news still to come. faces of life after the holocaust 75 years after the liberation of auschwitz and then for it was even here in germany puts the spotlight on survivors and the story. that 1st mexico's national guard has fired tear gas at migrants trying to cross into the country from guatemala hundreds of migrants began or wading through the border river after authorities there close a border gate on a nearby bridge a sicko is under pressure from washington to crack down on the regular migration. to question reach the u.s. is ending here for many. mexico's national guard forcibly repelled hundreds of

restrictions in june officials dowd unprecedented steps to block crossings into the u.s. absolutely the country was responding to threats issued by president donald trump squares 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 many u.s. officials say there's been a steady drop in the number of people arrested or stopped at its southern border. or to bring up to speed with some of the other stories making news around the world and back to china where a court there has jailed the former head of interpol for 13 and a half years on bribery charges making a hung ways tenure as in a poll chief was cut short after the then ist on a visit to china in 2018 at
