this is the news coming to you live from berlin the european commission president addresses the davos summit or is it up on the line puts europe's top priorities to global leaders at the world economic forum focusing your comments on the meeting score issued sustainability we get an update from davos also the program. the question is whether the server will be complicit in the president's crimes covering them up. 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 as world leaders are gathering in jerusalem to mark 75 years since the liberation of auschwitz look at what is driving anti semitism involve the world's leading centers of jewish life new york our correspondent visits the orthodox jewish community of that. class a new strain of flu a virus that's killing people in china and threatening to spread health authorities are trying to contain the outbreak as millions of chinese embark on travel ahead of the new not new year holiday the virus has also been detected outside of china the world health organization is holding an emergency meeting in geneva.

on the thought she might have their company. the 2 of this is world economic forum is underway in davos switzerland political and business leaders from around the world are gathered for the 40 a meeting it's called theme is sustainability european commission present there is a lot on the line has delivered a special address laying out the use environmental priorities while also touching on concerns over fully economic growth in the block. the forum comes as ongoing inequality and climate change fuel global skepticism over traditional 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 national of dylan joins me now from davos responded to did of your team in down was a general order for the line there pushing the european union as a 1st move when it comes to a new green economy how would that be receive them. 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 the air 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 in hand 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 that china has also been pushing its green credentials all 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 pay tends it's become a pioneer in terms of getting industry to green value chains within china but of course as usual of these with these things it's

a $2.00 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 and more carbon neutral form of transport at the same time it still remains the world's the world's largest carbon emissions emitter it's 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 rambling 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 had trouble letting your commission 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 we probably would have heard from him or 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 attacks

on u.s. tech firms that was 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. well donald trump will return to washington with his impeachment trial in full swing in the u.s. senate later today democrats on the prosecution team are expected to begin oral arguments laying out the case against the u.s. president trump is charged with abuse of power and obstruction of congress stemming from his dealings with ukraine after a bitter debate on monday senators adopted a framework to govern the trial that could remove him from office the republican majority have approved rules that for now will prevent new witnesses from being court and limit the trial to just 6 days so order. that senate is adjourned. the day ended in the early hours of the morning there not with details

finalized 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 trial rules on that terms rejecting democrats' demands for more witnesses republican senate leader mitch mcconnell suggested that many of the votes on the democrats' proposals could be avoided. i would ask and fat as the democratic leader certain some alerted all these men much whether he would be willing to enter into consent agreement to stock. those books but the democrat 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 compelling cases been made for them we will

have votes on all of those. days so heated debate white house counsel for the president claimed donald trump is innocent house managers on the upper hand argued trump should be removed from office polls have consistently shown americans to be stockley divided down parties and lines on whether trump should be forced to leave the white house rob watches 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. dozens of heads of state and gathering in jerusalem to mark the

75th anniversary tomorrow of the liberation of the auschwitz death them but then also we're talking about of resurgence of anti semitism jewish people and institutions have been attacked around the law including in new york city which is a thriving center of jewish life and culture but the rise of anti semitic incidents has begun what in the jewish community did of these vast and hot it has this report feel. were in this as a tense time for the hasidic 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. boroughs firestone and his friends are 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. attacks were so 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. so in that. i have friends i got punched right a little center of crown heights where everyone walks. they say they're not afraid but the attacks has made them more weary going to walk by herself specially at night. just yet thing obviously because of the increase of the fear in the community because of the recent attacks. for the family that added that if the caution added a feeling that you know you have to be more careful often orthodox jews become targets of anti semitic hate crimes because they're doing this 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 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 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 us since the age of 3 you know lives in manhattan huge to me says you need a new community has changed since the attacks. people are talking about getting armed and carrying guns weapons learning self-defense worry wasn't even a subject for. roughly one in 8 new york city residents is jewish for

centuries has been a refuge to jews from the world 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 a 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 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 street. you can train heights raney's friends they will back down they trust that you hate this stronger than the he cheated and there it

tempers. that they have been yet to hit at some other stories making news around the world then israel has opposition says government agents have raided the office off opposition leader won by though he's currently traveling in europe seeking support for his bid to asked president nicolas maduro opposition lawmakers condemned the office raid as illegal and said it's unclear what the agents did inside. this isn't prosecutors have charged 16 people from the mining company valley and the auditor over the collapse of the dam a year ago the disaster in the southern state of amino acids at ice kids 270 people and dumped toxic sludge in a local river the charges include thomas. side and environmental crimes. large crowds of people are protesting on 3 greek islands to demand that the leaders remove all of thousands of asylum seekers camps on the islands of less vast

chiasson and some us house over 10 times the number of people they were designed to host in some cases. the discovery of an unexploded world war 2 bomb led to the evacuation of almost 2000 people from central berlin on tuesday public transport was disrupted and street traffic diverted experts have since successfully defused the device. you're watching did every news coming up ahead the phone damage caused by the australian bushfires millions of animals including kangaroos have been killed or injured the devastation is in part inspired a young boy thousands of kilometers away to find a way to have. detached children the outbreak of a new grown up virus in china has risen to 9 and there is growing fear the disease could spread shiners confirmed more than 400 cases and the virus is on the move

with infections reported in hong kong and macau other regions have also confirmed cases thailand taiwan south korea and japan there's also been a case in the united states the world health organization is meeting in geneva to decide whether to declare a global public health emergency now health authorities believe the virus originated from wild animals at a seafood market in war hunt in china this still trying to figure out the exact source and if it's mutating but they have confirmed human to human transmission. if you look at the evidence shows that the disease is currently transmitted through the risperidone tract and there is the possibility of a viral mutation not quite have and joining me now for more on the story is dr mohamad money he's a 500 just who has been closely following these developments dr may what happens when the law has organization declares a global health emergency. so don't know that i'm sure has

a policy in place since 2000 and indies 20 years it's only been 5 times around the emergency has been declared and so this meeting especially being organized in a number jency only for one main part that 2 days of 3 days before it has been consumed at 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 the near future so if evidence you would be to clear that i 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 within 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're sick. so the symptoms are mainly desperation associated so there will be an pneumonia there will be

difficult bleeding it would be to a preacher so these are the indication when we initially looking into our indication to clone a 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 signs could appear and fit 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 they have no authority to say that this virus a good new new to it what that make it more contagious. yes so these kind of why to say it's based on their history in 2003 all these croats have a potential to mutate although to mutation has not been yet proven for this virus because we have a very limited amount of data but if the mutations have been proven to exist very

likely for these kind of viruses that mean 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 that is the spike in new cases largely 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 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 accurately center airport that started to launch this meaning programs and turley i think the overall strategy has changed especially with the intended that we actually can imagine some meetings like this one so we're also are you is changing that is all together leading to 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 mom of money vajrayana just thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us and you to be here tonight 11 in vitez a new government to ending 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 have 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 see at group hezbollah and its allies getting a handle on lebanon spiraling economic crisis is the most urgent issue at hand or

intifada 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 what. and it will work towards addressing their demands. what's a family to be him. but instead of calming the 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. about this establishment and 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 vitally needs. in recent weeks astray has been battling some of the was bushfires in living memory 100000 square kilometers of land has been scorched scientists say part of the country's landscape is the in permanently damaged and also its biodiversity images of the devastation have moved people around the blood 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 tally 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 volunteers 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. 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 and. 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 for it keynes because 8 year old son and tony who inspired the project has more ambitious plans to because. if everyone in the world so one such pouch then probably all can go roos would be saved is. a tall order but given the scale of the fires big ideas may be exactly what's needed. news from the us for a lot of jelly stuff referees as criticize suckers video assistant referee technology known as the a are for not adapting to meet the needs of the game the technology was supposed to make the game will fair and accurate but it's close look on traversing than expected the german referees association says it may look to american football for changes. making speed 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.o.r. of video assistant referee was supposed to help eliminate human mistakes but has it cause more confusion than carriage yet. when you look at how many wrong calls we've already prevented then it's fine but there are always things we can continue to improve the. critics say they still way too much human and. reputation is that the cars are inconsistent and that the delays take the punch out of goal celebrations. one of germany's elite referees man would prefer who was in charge of the door versus outspoken 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. just. that clarification could go on a long way in appeasing the system's critics. if you're just joining us you're watching news coming to you live from berman here's a recap of our top story as the 1st 2 of us president trump's impeachment trial extended into the early hours of the morning the republican majority approved rules that prevent democrats prosecutors from now according to new witnesses that's wrong faces charges of abuse of power and could be removed from office. coming up next on news. as a new and potentially deadly virus outbreak spreads how does china plan to fight it amid the huge. travel rush. and the trash from
