this is the day of the news coming to you live from above in the corona virus spreading sickness and fear beyond china chinese authorities say the virus has killed 9 people and cases are also being detected in several other countries including the united states. trying to contain the virus and head off the busy lunar new year travel period also coming up. requested with the senate will be complicit in the president's crimes for covering up. rhetoric in washington before

a key vote in the trumped impeachment trial republicans set the tone for the proceedings to allow no new witnesses at least for now. and. as world leaders are gathering in jerusalem to mark 75 years since the liberation of auschwitz we look at what's driving and to semitism and want to was eating centers of jewish life our reporter visits the orthodox jewish community of new york. to los lebanon takes a step forward as a finalist to unveil a new cabinet but he faces a massive task to satisfy protesters who've been filling the streets demanding radical change. calling of a warm welcome to you i'm on the. the death still in the outbreak of a new coronavirus in china has risen to 9 and there's growing fear the disease

could spread jonas confirmed more than $400.00 cases infections have also been reported in thailand taiwan south korea and japan and a case is also being detected in the u.s. the world health organization is meeting in geneva to decide whether to declare a global public health emergency we talked of ironic just in just a moment about what that means but 1st a look at how authorities in china are battling to contain the virus ahead of the lunar new year holiday which is believed to be the world's largest annual human migration event. it's possibly the worst time of the year to try to stop the spread of a virus in china. hundreds of millions of people are crisscrossing the country this week to celebrate the lunar new year with family. also coming from abroad these passengers are traveling to beijing from seattle where the 1st u.s.

case was confirmed on tuesday i think what i can do is to wear a mask washing my hands and stay away from the problem. since that outbreak in the city of the deadly virus has jumped a number of international borders prompting large scale screening measures at airports bus and railway stations. containing the virus is an absolute priority as quickly as possible because they are fears that the virus could mutate. the evidence shows that the disease is currently transmitted through the respondent retract and there is the possibility of a viral mutation. for our future in an attempt to minimize the risk of contagion during the current travel rush a number of airlines and railway companies have announced they will waive cancellation fees for trips to and from will harm. the city's mayor has also won't against travel to the epicenter of the outbreak and urged the people who are

already there to stay. some people have canceled their trips due to the current situation but it's unlikely to stop the majority from traveling. for many chinese the lunar new year holiday is the only chance they get to see their relatives all year. and joining me now for more on this story is dr mohamad monies he's a biologist who has been closely following these developments dr way what happens when the world health organization declares a global health emergency. so don't natalie you had sure has a policy in place since 2000 and indies 20 years it's already been 5 times and the emergency has been declared and so this meeting especially being out organizing the numbers jency only for one main part that had 2 days of 3 days before it had been consumed a human to human transmission is possible which is really

a main concern for the health officials to really sit back and decide about what possible implications could a pause in new york future so if americans you want to declare that you mean there were a lot of restrictions on the travel of the trade but there would be a lot more controlling it would be in place not only that in china but also all countries that are receiving travelers from china now what are the symptoms off the virus and how long is it before people realize that they are sick so the symptoms are mainly desperation associated so there will be an ammonia they will be difficult leading it would be to a preacher so these are the indication when we initially looking too far into cation to clone a virus so whenever there are these kind of conditions the 1st thing flora for people to do is to contact the torah these so that the containment can be made so these clinical trial could appear fit in 6 to 10 days. and so these are the

conditions one disease is already established that even the infection is there there may be a possibility that at the clinical sign has not yet appear but that doesn't mean the virus is and they have now authorities say that this virus a could mutate what that make it more contagious. yes so these kind of why to say it's based on their history in 2000 to 8 all these crowds of us have a potential to mutate all due to mutation has not been yet proven for this flight is because we have a very limited amount of data but if the mutations have been proven which is very likely for these kind of viruses that mean a virus will get more features or it can transmit from people to people more easily and it can escape longer duration of time in the population. if the spike in new cases like to do mutation or because of improvements in detection and monitoring.

so the current increase in number of color license ect people is many faults so there are many reasons behind that the 1st and the primary reason is that now we have very good tools to apply and to detect the infection 2nd thing is that they have in essence a lot more as you can see you know many international act countries an airport they have started to launch this meaning programs and turley i think the overall strategy has changed especially with the intended you actually doing emergency meetings like this one so what we're all scenario is changing 'd that is all together leading to an increased number of cases that is not just because the virus is spreading could potentially be because we have a lot more to be announced and the tools to detect them dr mohammed monied a vajrayana just thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us and you can be. this article or some other stories making news around the wild brazilian prosecutors have charged 16 people from the mining company valley and its german auditor over the collapse of a dam you have ago the disaster the southern state of north said ice killed $270.00

people and dumped toxic sludge in a local river the charges include homicide and environmental crimes. venezuela's opposition says government agents have raided the office of opposition leader one why though why this country traveling in europe seeking support for his bid to oust president nicolas maduro opposition lawmakers condemned the office raid as illegal and said it's unclear what the agents did inside. to washington now and after a long night of heavy sparring in the u.s. senate lawmakers have finalized the framework for the impeachment trial of president donald trump the did a came to a close after some 13 hours of debate and individual votes on the proposed amendments to the impeachment procedure with control of the senate republican nor makers were able to approve most of the trial rules largely on their own terms

rejecting democrats' demands for more witnesses in the trial and during the debates republican senator leader mitch mcconnell suggested that many of the votes on the amendments could be avoided considering the predictable. i would ask the democratic leader certain similarity dollars a man much whether he might be willing to enter into consent agreement to start. this book the bottom line is very simple as has been clear to every senator and the country we believe witnesses and documents are extremely important and compelling cases been made for them we will have votes on all of those. so to have a diversion views this for me let me now draw involved to gucci from lancaster university specializes in u.s. politics and was to go see tempest fled in the senate and ultimately trumps

republican solidly and rejected pretty much all the demands of the democrats does this work for all against. well you know donald trump is going to find himself a winner in almost any situation he's in simply by being in it. republicans though have positioned themselves now as this trial becoming some sort of retribution against democrats in the house for impeaching trump in the 1st place. and so the democrats what they have to do if they do want to have witnesses or evidence if that's even possible in the future with future motions is they have to make their arguments so strong and so clear that they pull over republicans from the other side of the aisle who say i want to hear more too but of course those republicans would have to do so only if they get the approval from senior leadership and that might be really hard for them to do so the outcome of the trial as this now seems predictable with everyone expected to vote along party lines do you think these proceedings will have wide to implications for the democratic

process in the u.s. . well we have to remember the impeachment of bill clinton was the process was that was just as equally divided what we have here differently is the heated you know the amount of heated discourse that's going on of the senate floor that is replicating the same sort of discourse that's happening out on the streets of the united states it's very tense there is name calling there's. uncivil. interactions almost going back to when congress was 1st formed where people were actually outraged violent on the floor i hope we don't see that here but we sure see that in the language that's going on so that is going to be one of the missteps of democracy here for the united states the 2nd is if it does go along party lines as we also expect and donald trump is acquitted and asked the question of well then what virtud the impeachment process to begin with if the house is controlled by one

party says one thing and then it goes of the senate controlled by another and they say forget about it what does that mean for watchdog those people who are in the oval office and what do you think the bottom the vote is in america how will they be viewing these proceedings in a very politicized atmosphere. you know social media is not helping us here at all this is where we're seeing a lot of the anger and a lot of the resentment a lot of the fear and a lot of the concern that is just being bounced around on social media and then in between people at wal-mart in between people in their own neighborhoods and in their own families so the discourse that's going on here is really going to tear voters away from each other instead of within their parties coming together and finding ways to either reelect trump without some sort of visceral response from

the left or defeat trump with some sort of unity on the other side and so what we have to see here is can the tone the tenor of this be diminished a bit so that it's not so much about hotheads but it is about the evidence of what may or may not have happened. senior lecturer at the university of lancaster thank you very much faithful it's thank you dozens of heads of state are gathering in jerusalem tomorrow to mock the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the auschwitz death camp but they'll also be talking a bunch of resurgence of anti semitism jewish people and institutions have been attacked around the bugs including in new york city which is its frightening center of jewish life and but the rise of anti semitic incidents has begun wiring jewish community boston heartache has destroyed. there.

was this is a tense time for the city jews of crown heights a neighborhood in new york spiraled brooklyn. community has become the target of an increased number of attacks in recent months. and now there's more police on the streets protecting synagogues and other jewish institutions. firestone and his friends were students at a local yeshiva a jewish religious school anti semitism is always been an issue in this ethnically diverse neighborhood but the recent string of attacks has hit uncomfortably close to home. attackers on someone threw a chair at someone else i was screaming kill jews there's different attacks i have a son that pointed a gun out so in that put out i have friends i got punched fred

a middle center of crown heights where everyone walks. they say they're not afraid but the attacks has made them more weary they want to walk their selves specially and i. just yeah i think obviously because of the increase of the fear in the community because of the recent attacks. on the family that i did that caution added a feeling that you know you have to be more careful often orthodox jews become targets of anti semitic hate crimes because their jewishness is plainly visible. only colin is a rabbi in the community he knows being recognizable is a risk but he says hiding is not an option never be afraid never be afraid to show who we are never afraid to remain and or run away never the idea would come of running away somewhere else this is this is our community and we're going to take whatever it takes to stay here and be strong but not to be afraid or to hide or to fear. but it's not only the orthodox community that's feeling uneasy and all

feldman is jewish too and as with many of new york's jews you can't really tell from his looks born in israel he's been in the u.s. since the age of 3 you know lives in manhattan here to me says the mood in the community has changed since the attacks. people are talking about getting armed and carrying guns mace weapons and learning self-defense were even a subject for. roughly one in 8 new york city residents is jews for centuries has been a refuge for jesus from the world and this city is home to the biggest jewish community outside of israel that's why rising anti semitism here is particularly unsettling jewish advocacy groups are saying the phenomenon is surprising as it is complex because the sources of these recent semitic attacks here in the united states are multiple that they're not all coming from white supremacists or white

nationalists they're also coming from street attacks in new york. by young african-americans they're coming from black hebrews what seems to be constant is a sense that there's a copycat phenomenon now it's become sort of more involved. to go after jews or identifiable on the streets. back in town hates green his friends they will back down the chance that you hate this stronger than he cheated of their attempt to use. your washing did have been years since to come the bone the damage caused by the astray and bushfires millions of animals including kangaroos have been killed or injured the devastation has inspired a young boy thousands of kilometers away to find a way to have. the 1st 11 on which has a new government and a 3 month power vacuum triggered by mass demonstrations against the country's

political establishment the most urgent priority for the new prime minister and his cabinet will be to pull lebanon out of its deep financial crisis it's led to soaring inflation and banks restricting access to cash but the new hezbollah backed government may find itself having trouble winning support both at home and abroad. months of protests left rudderless without effective leadership but now lebanon finally has a new government. prime minister has sunday announced his cabinet chosen after intense wrangling by shiite group hezbollah and its allies getting a handle on lebanon spiraling economic crisis is the most urgent issue at hand. or haiyan intifada thoda i salute the uprising that pushed for this path to be taken lebanon has one this is a government that meets the aspirations of the protesters across the country after

more than 3 months of anger that what. he did and it will work towards addressing their demands with a family that some of the majority to him that instead of calming them protests flared up again on the streets of the capital beirut and around the country. demonstrate to say they wanted a government of independent experts who be able to deal with the country's financial crisis and not ministers selected through horse trading by political parties. and we want a government of experts the politicians should not have brought their advisors. this is these leaders do not represent us this government doesn't reflect us we want a government that's ours. protesters are demanding swift progress which may prove difficult for the new government with hezbollah does ignatius' a terrorist group by the u.s.

it's piero in picking lebanon's ministers who make it harder for the country to win the foreign support it so vitally needs. data of this is what economic forum is underway in davos switzerland political and business leaders from around the world are gathered for the 4 day meeting it's cool seem sustainability european commission president has enough on the line has delivered a special address laying out the environmental priorities while also touching on concerns over falling economic growth and the block the foreign comes as ongoing inequality and climate change feel global skepticism over traditional capitalism the european green deal is our new growth strategy the novelty and the difference. to our fossil fuel based model is that we will force to growth that is not extracting resources but that gives back

to the planet more than it takes away from it. and europe has the 1st mover advantage. then physical senior business editor joins me now from davos when we heard or is it a formula and they're pushing the european union as a 1st mover when it comes to a new green economy what kind of reaction sentiments likely to get that. well it's interesting because it's actually the corporations here and reader and the investors here who pushing for this new green wave of investments and it's quite toxic over his whole the other way round and it's politicians and and diplomats like fun to lie and who are taking up this call it was quite interesting to hear her tell the devil's crowd that some 44 investors recently approached the commission to sign carbon neutrality into law representing some 6 trillion euros

it investment so there is a huge new push for green investments and it's coming from the corporations another example for you germany and france announcing just today that they're joining up with black rock the world's biggest wealth fund to put money and private investment into projects in developing countries to fight climate change which these developing countries have been asking for for so long for help from the developed world because the developed world has already gone through its industrialization has already polluted the world so much and don't these countries don't want to see the developing ones do the same thing and make the same mistakes so it's all about working together which china has also been touting here exactly it seems john is also pushing its green credentials or green ambitions to do was to florida.

well this is interesting especially on the back of the speech from also fund a lion who said it's all about inclusion not exclusion working together no nationalism that will only hold back economies but rather joining up scientists with innovators to create sustainable jobs and europe's green you developments and green new deal will be our new growth strategy or fun the line said but. the chinese seem to be way ahead according to some economists here they say china is winning the green race and has come up with so many initiatives is already making it easier for multinationals to ensure that their supply chains throughout china a very green indeed the chief economist of china's people's bank was talking all about data and technology and how innovation is going to

basically be behind this next great leap and that china is making that great leap 1st that the europeans are going to have to hurry up that's for sure who i think have to leave it there ben fizzling did everything in business editor a pleasure to talk to you and. thank you amrita and recent weeks australia's been battling some of the us bushfires in living memory 100000 square kilometers of land has been scorched scientists say a pot of the country's landscape has been permanently damaged and also is biodiversity images off the devastation have moved people around the was including a young boy in poland who wants to have. the australian bush fires have been devastating to wildlife an exact figure is all but impossible to come by but the estimated telly is 1000000000 animals killed among them australia's beloved kangaroos no one knows just how many have died or got lost but many of the little

ones are on their own without their mother's pouch to keep them warm their lives are at risk. this situation has moved a group of fallen tears seamstresses half a world away to take action. here in quetta in southern poland these women are sewing 50 pouches for orphan kangaroo infants known as joey's. i thought about going genocide that my son was deeply touched by a photo of us they had been trying to flee from the burning bush but they couldn't escape they were trapped by a wall by the highway and they were burned alive. i'm honest. the idea is that a volunteer in australia can wear the power and take care of the joey the group hopes to deliver 50 pouches to australia by the end of the week a simple and modest gesture they say but one that shows how people can help each other no matter where you are in the world. because 8 year old son and tony who

inspired the project has more ambitious plans because. if everyone in the world so one such pouch then probably all kind groups would be saved. about a tall order but given the scale of the fires big ideas may be exactly what's needed. she was indeed. at the top stories that we're following feel the death toll in the outbreak of a new coronavirus in china is down 9 and this growing fear the disease is spreading cases have been reported elsewhere in asia and in the u.s. the world health organization is meeting to decide whether to declare a gilbert emergency. and as the 1st day of u.s. president donald trump's impeachment trial extended into the early hours of the morning the republican majority approve rules to adopt prevent democrat prosecutors for now from calling new witnesses come faces charges of abuse of power and could
