shut down with residents of bodies to stay at home so far 17 people have died from the respiratory illness and almost 600 cases have been confirmed across china. a doctor in will hand shows the isolation wards to a camera team from state television no other journalists are allowed access to this is where the infected patients are treated and their data collected in an attempt to bring the virus under control. there's a whole mess in the detailed records are very valuable for analyzing and evaluating large amounts of data going forward it's also that. most patients it will hands clinics have only mild symptoms fever and breathing difficulties. 5 of the dead and known to have had preexisting health conditions. that beijing isn't taking any chances. we have evidence that the onus spreads through the rust pretoria

passages and there is the possibility that the virus could mutate and pose a greater threat. and china is on the move some 400000000 people are travelling ahead of the lunar new year holiday many a nervous. energy away i am worried about the virus not just for my own health but for my whole family everyone is travelling for new year. to muncie in this book called the bar i'm just relying on myself i'm not so confident because i don't believe what i hear was the number of infections could be a lot higher than is being reported. in. the evening news on state television mentions the virus for the 1st time 20 minutes in prime minister lee could chang called on all affected places to be efficient and

transparent in their response. engineer the world health organization emergency committee extended talks for an extra day after hearing reports from several countries. with. a public emergency of international concern is one. extremely seriously and one only prepared to make. consideration of all the evidence one case has been confirmed. in the u.s. state of washington on the west coast after returning from. russia has also reported suspected cases. carrying out temperature checks on all passengers arriving from china. checks are in place at airports across the world in a bid to reduce the risk of the disease spreading.

in beijing far beyond the city of at the center of this outbreak tell us more about what authorities are doing there to contain the virus. already yesterday the authorities have issued a travel warning people not to travel to one and also not so if the city and now of course the city and lock down it's isolated that's a pretty radical decision am just have to look at the 11000000 people living there and also from the space i mean it's basically like putting a greater london area under lockdown but from a medical point of view the sun a standard bill because of all the. consomme virus cases they originated from the fish market and and they have been spread by citizens from who are han who then traveled also to thailand to south korea to japan and so of course the forty's are focusing on that area but even in beijing where i'm based right now you see a lot of you know body temperature skinless especially at hawks and also at the

train stations and yet people are also very cautious well there are concerns that this virus has spread more widely in china in fact and more people than officially claimed you say people are cautious how worried are they are across the country. they're very very very i wouldn't call it a penny but you know literally everyone in this very case must buy father lots of authority to protect themselves and people are very skeptical you know government. numbers and also see the official state news and i think it's safe to assume that the numbers are much higher that's also you know in line with estimates from scientists from the imperial college of london or the city university of hong kong and they assume that far more has been affected and the reason is many people here they still remember the sauce endemic in 20022000 at the time the hartleys tried to

cover up the real threat of the virus so what else can authorities do now that they aren't already doing to make sure that this doesn't get any worse. i mean the isolation of one is already a pretty radical step also if you consider that the virus outbreak is still at an early stage. i would say that actually the authorities take a different step mom pets who what they did and bring the sauce condemning them more transparent i mean they're reporting no more prominent the about the virus outbreak the party commissioned from the communist pot his also urged its politicians to not cover up any infection the stem not to you know just for the reputation of the local politicians to you know. they french they call from want transparency and i think it's a big sign and a big any indication that they take it much more seriously and they don't want to repeat the same mistakes that they did in 20022300 thank you very much for bringing

us up to date there correspondent probably in creswell in beijing. now to the united states and the impeachment trial of president donald trump the republican controlled senate has been hearing the opening arguments from house impeachment managers trump has or was impeached last month on charges of abuse of power and obstructing congress is accused of pressuring ukraine to investigate former democratic vice president joe biden and a political rival and impeding congressional the interim firing into the matter denies any wrongdoing using the lead impeachment manager and democrat adam schiff told senators that trump's actions represented a danger to america's constitutional order and must not go unchecked if not remedied by his conviction in the senate and removal from office president trump's abuse of his office and obstruction of congress will permanently alter the balance of power among the branches of government inviting future presidents to operate as

if they are also beyond the reach of accountability congressional oversight and the law for more let's go straight to washington where d.w. correspondent public is standing by so president trump's trial has now gotten underway in earnest what have we learned so far. hi terry well the impeachment managers who are basically like prosecutors began to their case against president trump as we saw there in the clip he's the lead manager he focused very much on protecting the united states is democracy and he talked about the importance of that the constitution and protecting also the u.s. is standing globally as well now it wasn't just shifty other managers as well they use dozens of video clips video clips that those who have followed. this case

against president trump in previous months may have seen it was their attempt to basically hammer home the fact that president trump in their eyes is guilty of using a u.s. military aid as a bargaining chip that would lead at ukraine to investigate president from potential rival in this year's presidential election of course the investigation would be into joe biden and his son the managers also time and time again spoke of the need to be allowed to call witnesses and also have documents which they want included into the trial to be included among those witnesses will be the former national security adviser john bolton there was also a lot of talk of a witness swap here in washington today with the democrats ruling they are pushing ahead with their as i said before they want witnesses to be cold but there was talk that perhaps if that they can have witnesses called and the republicans could have

their own witnesses called the leader of the senate minority leader in fact chuck schumer said that that was not going to happen so it was a pretty hectic day terry the public most observers are saying that this trial will be over rather quickly how can we expect things to unfold in the coming days. well that's what some are saying but some are also saying that it may not have the monitors that they've used their 1st more or less 8 hours of the 24 hours that they're at it. there's they're saying that basically will wrap up by friday which means that on saturday president trump's lawyers would then have to respond because we can forget that of course at the proceedings will also be taking place on saturday night if nothing changes with regards to witnesses it could be wrapped up pretty quick but there's a lot of focus on republicans who may change their opinion with regards to those witnesses being told if they are alive be cold or if they join forces with the

democrats it could mean that the trial could stretch a little bit longer and not be wrapped up as quick as they're hoping which will be for the state of the union address at the start of february so at the moment it's all up in the air terry thank you very much the public in washington now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today 3 australian firefighters are feared dead in a plane crash south of the company the premier of new south wales state said the crash of an aerial water tanker used to battle bushfires created a huge fireball and there appears to be no survivors. experts at the united nations say the phone of amazon the founder and washington post owner jeff bezos was likely backed through a file sent from an account used by saudi crown prince mohammed bin so the experts allege the hacking was an effort to influence or silence the washington post's

reporting on saudi arabia saudi official has denied the allegations. dozens of leaders from around the world are gathering in jerusalem ahead of international holocaust remembrance day on monday they're also marking 75 years since the liberation of the auschwitz death camp the millions of jews murdered in the holocaust or the shoah as it is called or commemorated the yeah morial w.'s tanya kramer visited and saw how it's keeping the memory of the holocaust victims alive for younger generations. leading a tour through jerusalem's holocaust memorial yeah it was always special for jonathan matthews today the young israeli researcher is guiding a group of israeli school children with its monumental architecture a powerful exhibition it's a place like no whether to learn about the shoah generally speaking the whole concept of telling the story in this museum and perhaps connecting different

generations story the holocaust is by focusing on the victims and when they focus on a victim we have a natural historical information museum but we also have personal artifacts and video testimony of the survivors the individual stories of the victims are an essential part of the museum making the horrors of the show a ton jubal over 75 years later the increasingly elderly survivors are slowly disappearing fast poses a challenge with the museum educational programs it's comprehensive archive and a large collection of documents yet the sham aims to keep the victims memories alive the exhibition also deals with the nazis rise to power to tell a tarion regime's andante semitism an issue that is just as relevant today this is a topic that worries me and to semitism in the holocaust denial and this is one of the reasons i believe that it's important for me to work yourself as an individual but also i think demands more active involvement of different governments in the

world to deal with this problem for me to use the whole of names many victor. never left a trace never had a headstone or a grave it's a memorial for all of the 6000000 murdered jews. young israelis often learn about the holocaust through their own family histories annual memorial services and school from the age of 16 school groups usually go to a sham but a visit like this is never easy. it's my 1st time here and i walked in and it was overwhelming and difficult to see. if you feel their suffering what they went through. you can see and hear many artifacts from that period and it's really tough for me. i think it's very important to conserve this because people need to know what happened. and to prevent this from happening in the future again here and to

show that even in hard times there were people who kept up their hopes and helped others and tried to survive. yeah beacham a place to reflect on what's happened over 75 years ago and a commitment to keeping that memory alive for generations to come. and the correspondent tony kramer joins me now from memorial tanya tell us more about the gathering that's taking place there in jerusalem today. well i'm just standing here outside of a sham and i actually wanted to show you the tended was being built over the wall some in the area just behind as a bit further on the side of the show but it's a very very cold and foggy morning so you don't see much of that there's also security paramita now around you have to say because of all the international leaders that made their way already over the past 2 days here to jerusalem they

would be joined today also by the russian president putin and the american vice president penn's arriving in jerusalem now there is a ceremonies get so full of this afternoon here and yet for some time to commemorate the anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz 75 years ago there will be speeches given by the russian president putin by french president mccaul just to mention some of them but also by the german president fine but just on my end of course whole close survive his will be there will be prayers and music to commemorate and to keep that memory alive of what happened 75 years ago. this holocaust commemoration comes at a time when acts of anti semitic violence are on the rise in many parts of the world and we expect that to be addressed in the speeches they are today. yes that is also part of this program that was holocaust forum that has invited

together with the presidency here and the. memorial to this event they vons to point to the fact that of the rise of semitism the rise of and to semitic attacks in the world you know talking about north america also also what happened in germany i think this is what really he also in the speeches you know the leaders will have to make a balance between commemorating what happened in the past but also to look what's now happening in the woods and i think this is the message they want to give on the one hand keeping that memory alive but on the other hand also to say no to anti semitism today briefly beyond that high level gathering there how is the holocaust anniversary being remembered elsewhere in israel today well usually israelis to commemorate their holocaust memorial day in april what we're seeing

here this is just 3 days before the international holocaust day that is happening then on monday there will be the big ceremony then in auschwitz here in israel people calling them married this usually in april there will be there is usually a siren the country comes to a standstill and people you know commemorate what happened during the 2nd boat war then tony thank you very much correspondent tanya kramer. now to greece and tensions over migration on the other end of lesbos thousands have been demanding that the government close squalid migrant camps there and to other islands protesters say their communities cannot cope with a fresh surge of migrants into camps that are already overcrowded inside those camps the situation is desperate. it's likely to be the largest protest in the

history of the island more than 8000 people have followed the call of this man. this post governor constantine is from the island's capital need to lean he wants to send a message to the government in athens the island can no longer bear the brunt of europe's refugee crisis here in america now how do you feel. you don't want our islands back we want our lives back. you don't have to go far from this scene to see how the crisis has taken hold of the island. this is the notorious morea camp europe's fastest growing humanitarian crisis just a stone's throw away from the capital more than 20000 people are stuck here. for refugees like khalid winter has made life even more difficult together with his wife he came here 2 months ago on terrorists in somalia shot him in his leg and shoulder he says the 26 year old can hardly walk and is in constant pain. being

forced to live in this shack he built himself it's the conditions in moria that now bother him the most. it's. definitely. now we're but. what's the what's the nightlight. good luck yet in of reach for the 5th leg and if you don't want to come out. according to les paul's governor roughly a quarter of the island's population is made up of migrants he says nobody outside of lesbos seems to feel responsible for the situation. i'm afraid that the rest of the european to the rest of the european union close the borders to these problems because they don't have to they don't want to be bothered by this and i'm afraid that there is the grace is closing the borders to the islands here because they don't work for the bebothered so it's a situation of the blow was. a situation that is also affecting people in the

village of moria opposite the camp everyone here tells us their life changed for the worse when the greek government started sending people here in large numbers. christina runs a hair salon in town twice people have broken in installed in her equipment she believes they came from the maurya camp now if the situation continues like this we one manage the next few years we will have to leave in order to live why do i have to live it doesn't sound fair that it has to be me leaving my place back to the protest in mytilene the government who has at 1st seemed skeptical that the government in athens would listen to the islanders but leading a protest this big seems to have encouraged him never have been so much crowd here in subsequence drazen and they were very happy and we feel very powerful now to go dodson to demand our all our demands. not just a symbolic move but rather a cry for help to finally take the pressure off these greek islands. in sports news

one of germany's top referees has criticised soccer's video assistant referee technology known as v.a.r. for not adapting to meet the needs of the game the technology was supposed to make the game more fair and accurate but it has caused more controversy than expected the german referees association says it may look to american football for a solution for. 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 then it's fine but there are always things we can continue to improve. and i critique say there is still way too much room an interpretation that

that the costs 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 and the media it's an idea that is slowly gaining some ground in the bundesliga. we're working on how far we can integrate referees to communicate directly on the field they may even sometime in the future explain their decision in clarifying the process. that clarification could go on long way in appeasing the systems critics. this is news and these are our top stories chinese authorities have put the city of new hun on a virtual lockdown as they try to stem the. threat of
