the boob. tube i am. this is due to abuse coming to you live from berlin the european commission president addresses the davos summit or is it up underlined puts europe's top priorities to global leaders of the world economic forum focusing her comments on the meeting score issue of sustainability we'll go live to davos for the latest also on the program the question is whether the senate will be complicit in the president's current up. and down the rhetoric in washington before a key vote in the trump impeachment trial republicans set the tone for the

proceedings allow no new witnesses at least for now. and world leaders are gathering in jerusalem to mark 75 years since the liberation of auschwitz we look at what is driving and to semitism in one of the world's leading centers of jewish life new york our correspondent visits the orthodox jewish community that. the new stream of corona virus is killing people in china and is threatening to spread health authorities are trying to contain the outbreak as millions of chinese embark on trips ahead of the new niger holiday the virus has also been detected outside china the world health organization is holding an emergency meeting in geneva.

i'm a touch of a good to have you with us day 2 of this year's world economic forum is underway in davos switzerland political and business leaders from around the world are gathered for the 4 day needing it school theme is sustainability the european commission president was a laugh on the line has delivered a special address leaving out the environmental priorities while also touching on concerns over a feeling of falling economic growth in the block. the forum comes as ongoing inequality and climate change fuel global skepticism over to distil capitalism the european green deal is our new growth strategy. but novelty. and the difference. to our fossil fuel. based model is. that we will foster 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.

nationale dylan joins me now from davos she's part of the d.w. team in down was general or cell phone the line they're pushing the european union as a 1st move when it comes to a new green economy how would that be received there. well it's certainly a very welcome message and no politician diplomats or otherwise stakeholder here at davos would be able to get away from here without talking about the environment without giving without acknowledging the need to act on the climate crisis but really what's interesting here is that the emergent question of who is leading whom is it the government leading the private sector or the other way around in fact that was from this press conference that we learned that 44 investors worth a total of 6 trillion euros had pushed had pushed the e.u. to agree on carbon neutrality and in fact last week ahead of the world economic

forum bloc announced that it was a black rock of course that is the world's largest wealth manager it announced that it was putting sustainability at the core of its strategy and just today they announce a partnership with germany and france so you see that the government state the state stakeholders state representatives are working with the private sector hand the net and it's a question of i guess the investment having to come from somewhere and now we're seeing the mechanisms as they work and to then china has also been pushing its green credentials on green ambitions today in davos tell us more about that. indeed well china actually does have reason to brag here it how it holds a number of climate change related peyton's it's become a pioneer in terms of getting industry to green their value chains within china but of course as usual of these with these things it's a 2 edged sword so china for example could be the leader in terms of forcing the

auto industry to walk towards electrification towards more electric cars a more carbon neutral form of transport at the same time it still remains the world's the world's largest carbon emissions emitter it still it still has a reputation of having a very polluted industrial cities such perhaps they're leading this charge mainly because they have to be. and just before he left chanel trump gave an impromptu and somewhat grambling press conference and he drew a fairly unflattering comparison between europe and china on trade let's take a quick listen the united states has been losing 150000000000 and more for many years 150000000000 more i mean really more than that with the european union they have trade barriers where you can trade they have tariffs all over the place they make it impossible they are frankly more difficult to do business with than china.

as you will trump met in your commission the chief underline yesterday for bilateral talks and there were some reports that he was going to announce progress on u.s. trade talks but after that statement i guess not indeed since trump has been all about telling his trade successes here if there were trade successes to announce he probably would have heard from them from him on that already but it has to be said that trade the trade disputes between the e.u. and the u.s. are of course a very complex matter nobody really expected concrete results come out of that let's just say the evasion subsidy dispute this is one of the longest running trade disputes in the world if not the longest but there were some wins between on the transatlantic front for example france has has agreed to delay its digital tax on tech firms that was a that was announced earlier this week and that that could have been

a win that trying touted but that was not something that he considered perhaps was really a win with the whole of the e.u. as such he didn't mention it. in davos thank you very much for that. let me now bring you have to read some of the stories making news around the wild large crowds of people protesting on 3 greek islands to demand the immediate removal of thousands of asylum seekers camps on the islands of less force chiasson and some lost house over 10 times the number of people they were built for in some cases. resilient prosecutors have charged 16 people from the mining company valley and its german auditor or the collapse of the dam a year ago the disaster in the southern the state of maine asked at ice kills 270 people and dumped toxic sludge in a local river the charges include homicide and environmental crimes.

dozens of heads of state are gathering in jerusalem to mark the 75th anniversary tomorrow of the liberation of the auschwitz death camp but they also were talking about a resurgence of anti semitism jewish people and institutions have been attacked around the world including in new york city which is a thriving center of jewish life and culture but the rise of anti semitic incidents has begun writing the jewish community there did obvious boston heartache as this report. this is a tense time for the keys of crown heights a neighborhood in brooklyn. who community has become the target of an increased number of attacks in recent months. now there's more police on the streets protecting synagogues and other jewish institutions. and his friends. a jewish religious. anti semitism it's been

an issue in this ethnically diverse neighborhood but the recent string of attacks has hit uncomfortably close to home. the tax was on someone threw a chair at someone else on a screen kill jews there's different attacks that have a sound that pointed a gun. so in that that i have friends i got punched by the middle center of crown heights where everyone walks. they say they're not afraid but the attacks have made them more weary they want to walk by yourself especially at night. just yet thing obviously because of the increase of the fear in the community because of the recent attacks. on the family that had it in that apartment had that feeling that you know you have to be more careful often want to gets jews become targets if anti semitic hate crimes because they're doing this is plainly visible and the colon 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 to remain and or run away never to the idea what kind 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 out of 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 lips born in israel he's been in the u.s. since the age of 3 you know lives in manhattan huge to me says the mood in the community has changed since the attacks. people are talking about getting armed and carrying guns makes weapons and learning self-defense worry wasn't even a subject for. roughly one in 8 new york city residents is jewish for

centuries new york 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 but 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 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 juice or identifiable on the streets. back in town heights grayness friends say they will back down. this stronger than he cheated if they return for years.

we stay in the u.s. that fi heads to washington and after a grueling final stay in the u.s. senate lawmakers have finalized the framework for the impeachment trial of president donald trump trump is charged with abuse of power and obstruction of congress stemming from his dealings with ukraine democrats on the prosecution team wants him removed from office but the republican majority have approved rules that for now they prevent new witnesses from being court and limit the trial to just 6 days so ordered. the senate is adjourned. the day ended in the early hours of the morning with details fine lines on how to proceed but not before senators voted on each proposed amendment to the impeachment procedure with control of the senate republican lawmakers were able to establish the rules on their terms

rejecting democrats' demands from all witnesses republican senate leader mitch mcconnell suggested that many of the votes on the democrats' proposals could be avoided communications made by presidential but i would ask the democratic leader and for certain some alerted all these amendments whether he would be willing to enter into and set agreement struck. those books but the democratic response came quick and defiant. 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 a compelling case has been made for them we will have on all of those. in the days so heated debate white house counsel for the president claimed donald trump is innocent house managers on the other hand argued trump should be removed from

office. polls have consistently shown americans to be starkly divided down parties and lines on what the trump should be forced to leave the white house but rob what is a republican strategist believes that this trial may be damaging to the democrats people don't like when a process is up and if you're democratically elected and if you've won they don't like to think that they're going to be invalidated that's why impeachments are so damaging to the party that does it because it up and the will of the people. of $100.00 senators have now decided what's to come both sides have 3 days each to make their case. a death zone in the out for the new coronavirus in china has risen to 9 and this growing fear the disease could spread china has confirmed more than 400 cases and the virus is on the move with new infections reported in hong kong and macau other regions have also confirmed cases thailand taiwan south korea

and japan the u.s. has also had a case the world it organization is meeting in geneva to decide whether to declare a global public health emergency now that dread disease nation is reserved for the grievances of outbreaks authorities are still recent to figure out the exact source of the virus and if it's mutating but they have confirmed human to human transmission. the evidence shows that the disease is currently transmitted through the responder tree tract and there is the possibility of a viral mutation. and joining me now for more on this story is dr mohamad money he's a 500 just who has been closely following these developments talked about a what happens when the world health organization declares a global health emergency. so i don't know actively you had sure has a policy in place since 2000 and indy's 20 years it's only been 5 times and the

emergency has been declared and so this meeting especially being organized in our numbers jency only for one main part that today so 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 implication could a pause in new york future so if evidence you were to declare that you mean there were a lot of restrictions on the travel of the trade but there would be a lot more control 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 the for people realize that they are sick so the symptoms are mainly desperately associated so there will be an ammonia they will be difficult leading there would be to a preacher so these are the indication when we initially looking to for indications

are calling virus so whenever there are these kind of conditions the 1st thing for people to do is to contact the authorities so that the containment can be made so these clinical side could appear of it in 6 to 10 days. and so these are the conditions one disease is already established but even the infection is there there may be a possibility that the clinical sign has not yet appear but that doesn't mean the virus is and a half now authorities say that this virus a could mutate one that make it more contagious. yes so these kind of why this is based on their history in 2003 all these caller says have a potential to mutate although the intention has not been yet proven for this virus 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. is the spike in new

cases likely due to mutation or because of improvements in detection and monitoring . so the current increase in number of color license art people is many faults so there are many reasons behind that the 1st and the prime reason is that now we have a 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 there are many international countries an airport they have started to launch this meaning programs and turley i think the overall strategy has changed especially with the intended actual meeting emergency meetings like this one so what we're all scenario is changing that is all together leading to increased number of cases that is not just because the virus is spreading court potentially because we have a lot more to be announced and the tools to detect them dr mohamed monied a vajrayana just thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us and you can

be lebanon has a near government ending at sea month 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 deal has been 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. and it will work towards addressing their demands with a family type of him. that instead of calming them protests flared up again on the streets of the capital beirut and around the country. demonstrators 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 stablished menton 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 ignited

a terrorist group by the u.s. its key role in picking lebanon's ministers who make it harder for the country to win the foreign support it so by to lead needs. for more i'm joined by reporter welcome to we heard about reports the new plan this is sounding very upbeat but how different is this new government from the previous one so i mean i think the biggest difference is that this government is really tasked with this. task of really pulling lebanon out of a crisis unprecedented since the days of the civil war which ended in 1990 but on the formal level this is a reduced government it is composed of 20 ministers as opposed to 30 ministers from the previous government that has a large female presence as well 6 of the 20 ministers are women including the defense minister for the 1st time in lebanon a woman is taken this post some ministries have been merged and some of these

mergers have raised some question marks with the protesters if you will for example the merger of agriculture and culture these are now one ministry social affairs and tourism so even on that technical level the government is causing some agitation. that's with the different but in terms of the similarities it seems that the political maneuvering the goal was on behind the scenes of established. there's a good party's getting in there people of you will hasn't really changed with this government there are indeed people that are new to the political scene but a lot of them are previous advisors to ministers. and established politicians that have actually been the target of anger so in that sense it seems like not a lot has changed yet this been some support for the government from the outset for example the un 6. looks forward to working with this government but most importantly how will the people of lebanon accept this government from. the most unhappy indeed i mean it is taking

a month for this government to be formed and in this month a lot of agitation has or has already been mounted a cut against the prime minister has sent india precisely because there was a lot of you know political maneuvering. by others by some political parties for example that it was delayed because you know it was said that certain political groups wanted this ministry and not that ministry so already there is there's kind of bad blood between this new government and the protesters another important thing to remember is that the future movement former president prime minister said that her party has boycotted this and this is a huge part of lebanon lebanon's political political spectrum so we might also see other political parties that have boycotted this government now mobilizing people against it and finally you know these 2 just beginning of a peaceful manner but now we can see there's a lot of anger on the streets combined with this political chaos as well as financial problems what does it mean for the country. i think one thing that's very

important to remember is that yes the protest movement has perhaps made lebanon more unstable but they are there as a symptom of the country being dysfunctional that's what the protesters keep telling me is that we are on the streets because we didn't have electricity we didn't have jobs the economy there's no economic growth in lebanon the country has the 3rd highest the to g.d.p. ratio in the world for a tiny country of 6000000. so that's an important thing to remember with that being said it is not helping the situation because for investors and for the outside world it looks like this is an unstable place and already yesterday with the announcement of the new government the lebanese near increased in value. it had been it had been losing its value against the dollar in the past couple of days so a lot of challenges for the new government and thank you very much for sharing those insights with us. news in the world of sport and one of germany's top referees is criticize football's video assistant referee technology known as are

for not adapting to meet the needs of the game the technology was supposed to make football more fair and accurate but it has caused low controversy than expected the german referee association says it's made up for the n.f.l. america's national football league for changes. making split 2nd decisions is what makes this one of the toughest jobs in football but the fast paced sport also makes it difficult for referees to always make the right cards the introduction of the a are a video assistant referee was supposed to help eliminate human mistakes but has it cause more confusion than clarity. when you look at how many wrong calls we've already prevented and it's fine but there are always things we can continue to improve. i predict say they still way too much newman interpretation and that the cards are inconsistent and that the delays take the punch out of goal celebrations. one of germany's elite referees mom would prefer who was in

charge of the doj month versus out spoke match on the weekend is pushing for an n.f.l. like system where the coaches have 2 challenges per game and referees can explain their decisions to fans in the media it's an idea that is slowly gaining some ground in the bundesliga. we're working on how far we can integrate the referees to communicate directly on the field they may even sometime in the future explain their decision and clarify the process. of. that clarification could go along way in appeasing the systems critics. coming up next on news. as a new and potentially deadly virus outbreak spreads how does china than to fight it amid the huge lunar new year travel rush. and the trash from europe that's
