this is news coming to you live from the city of aleppo in 1000000 people down to. the. 1000000 people is new to science it has not been tried before china halts flights and trains internet out of world han the metropolis at the center of the corona virus outbreak health officials scramble to contain the outbreak as fears grow of a global pandemic also on the program anger boils up over greece's overcrowded

migrant camps thousands of protesters demand the government shut down facilities on 3 greek islands for refugees face squalor and desperation. we also bring you the latest from the world economic forum's. just how green can germany so-called chi chancellor be. takes to the stage today here in davos but critics say she needs to forget her obsession with a balanced budget and focus on saving the planet. so i'm terry martin good to have you with us it's never been tried before and no one is sure if it will work chinese authorities are attempting to quarantine the city of. a metropolis of 11000000 people that's at the center of the corona virus outbreak spreading across asia and beyond all transport in and out of the city has

been closed down but will the attempt to isolate the city work. trying to contain a city of 11000000 people is new to science it has not been tried before as a public health measure so we cannot at this stage say it with order it would not work we know. if this is happening we will note carefully to what extent it is maintained how long it can take public transport within the city of will haunt has also been suspended with residents of bars 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 we'll hand shows the isolation ward 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 binnie detailed records are very valuable for analyzing and evaluating large amounts of data going forward so for the. 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 illness spreads through the respiratory 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 traveling 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 traveling for new year. month. and this. i'm just relying on myself i'm not so confident because i don't believe what i hear. the number of infections could be a lot higher than is being reported. the evening news on state television mentions the virus for the 1st time 20 minutes in prime minister called on all affected places to be efficient and transparent in their response. in geneva the world health organization is emergency committee extended talks for an extra day after hearing reports from several countries. with. a public old emergency of international concern is one i take extremely

seriously and one only prepared to make. consideration of all the evidence one case has been confirmed side of asia a man fell ill in the us state of washington on the west coast after returning from a week ago. russia has also reported suspected cases they're carrying out temperature checks on all passengers arriving from china more stringent checks are in place at airports across the world in a bid to reduce the risk of the disease spreading further. for the very latest let's cross over to our course. in beijing far beyond the city of homs 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 urging people not to travel to han in the city and now of course the city is and in lockdown it's isolated that's

a pretty radical decision i'm just have to look at 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 all the. consomme virus cases they originated from the fish market and on and they have been spread by citizens from who are on who then traveled also to thailand to south korea to japan and so of course authorities 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 infected more people than officially claimed you say people are are cautious how worried are they across the country. they're very very very i wouldn't call it panic but you know literally everyone is

very taste must buy pop the lots majority 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 a 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 pandemic in 20022000 at the time the parties tried to cover up the real threat of the parts so what earth 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 states. i would say that actually the authorities take

a different step compared to what they did and bring the soft pandemic down more transparent i mean they're reporting no more from him than the about the virus outbreak hockey commission from the communist pot he has also urged its politicians to not come off any infection to stand not to you know just for the reputation of local politicians to you know. they fret they call from want transparency and i think it's a big sign and a big and the indication that they take it much more seriously and they don't want to repeat the same mistakes that they did in 2002301 thank you very much for bringing us up to date their car spun upon the encroachments in beijing. now to the united states and the impeachment trial president. republican controlled senate has been hearing the opening arguments from house impeachment managers trump was impeached last month on charges of a. use of power and obstructing congress is accused of pressuring ukraine to

investigate former democratic vice president joe biden a rival and of impeding a congressional inquiry into the matter denies any wrongdoing lead impeachment manager democrat adam schiff you just saw there he told senators that trump's actions represented a danger to america's constitutional order and cannot 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 if 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 50 other managers as well they used dozens of video clips video clips 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 terms 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 a 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 that out they're pushing ahead with their as i said before they want witnesses to be cold but there was talk that perhaps it's that they can have witnesses called and the republicans could have their own witnesses called leader of the senate minority leader in fact chuck schumer said that was not going to happen so it was a pretty hectic day terry. the problem fully ali is there speaking to me a little earlier now to some of the other stories making news around the world today 3 american firefighters assisting with the bushfire crisis in australia have been killed in a plane crash south of the capital canberra the premier of new south wales state

said the crash of an aerial water tanker used to battle bushfires created a huge fireball in the mountains of the snowy more narrow region experts at the united nations say the phone of amazon founder and washington post owner jeff bezos was likely hacked through a pile sent from an account used by saudi crown prince mohammed bin so money the experts allege the hacking was an effort to influence or silence washington post's reporting on saudi arabia a saudi official has denied the allegations. there's no let up in lebanon ongoing protest movement despite the formation of a new government the end of the power vacuum protesters clashed with police in the capital beirut after nightfall earlier the new prime minister said the country must tackle the twin challenges of the protest movement and a nose diving economy. and

a message to the government and up and the island can no longer bear the brunt of europe's refugee crisis. now how. do you 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 to get there. 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 shock he built himself it's the conditions in moria that now bother him the most it's killing us. now we have.

what's the what's the night plight. he would love you. if. you don't want to come out but. 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 ground 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 to be bothered 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 and stolen her equipment she believes they came from the more you can. 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 dancing 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. to davos switzerland now and day 3 of the world economic forum for german chancellor angela merkel is expected to bolster the environmental theme of this year's gathering this

after u.s. president donald trump railed against climate change doomsayers summit on wednesday saying it was instead a time to display optimism european commission had looked under ally and later focused her speech at the meeting on sustainability in line with what merkel is expected to discuss today. our senior business editor ben visit is on the scene there and joins us now ben from what i've heard this is a very different davos this year. everything's upside down this time around terry it's the companies dictating to government some what sort of framework is needed when it comes to investing in things like renewables and green technology it's the young dictating to the old on what we need to do to save our planet gratitude bad for example and her gang of teenage change makers who've been pressing the davos crowd and investors here and the old ones here listening prince

charles took to the stage yesterday saying that nature is not a separate asset class but the lifeblood of markets he wasn't all doom and gloom like the teenagers and he had 2 reasons to be quite positive and optimistic he said that the leverage of the work that we've already done can see that we can progress so much if we just they for it that work that's already being done and that there is no lack of capital it's just how we use that money it's funneling it into the right projects he also said the returns on investment will out through traditional portfolios and we're already seeing that trend with the likes of black rock broke the world's biggest wealth fund saying it wants to put sustainability at the heart of its strategy and germany and france the 2 biggest economies in europe joining blackrock just yesterday to say it will also speed up the access to capital to fund

these projects speaking. german chancellor going to do to speak there today we're going back. well the greens are also here the green german party and its leader. was saying that the german chancellor needs to drop her obsession with balancing the budget and instead focus on saving the planet she's known as germany's chancellor and has been a huge supporter of german industry it's a huge job created in germany and the car industry is very successful but how green is it well hold that green at all we know about the diesel scandal we know about a shift to renewables in the car industries shift to electric mobility but it's something that's taking way too long and we're running out of time if you listen to the teenagers here in davos ben thank you so much ben fizzle in there in davos

what's. 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 show as it's also called or commemorated the memorial. tanya kramer visited sherman saul 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 a special for jonathan matthews today the young israeli was searcher is guiding a group of israeli schoolchildren 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 stories the holocaust is by focusing on the victims and when they focus

on a victim we have a natural historical information in the scene 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 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 regimes and donte semitism an issue that is just as relevant today this is a topic that worries me and to semitism and a holocaust denial and this is one of the reasons why i believe that it's important for me to work yourself as an individual but also i think it demands more active involvement of different governments in the world to deal with this problem i'm

going to use the whole of names many victims never left. ptrace 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 on school from the age of 16 school groups usually go to the 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 and 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 the sham of 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 of course by trying to 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 us a bit further on the sides of the same 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 pensive arriving in jerusalem now there is a ceremonies get so full of this afternoon here in 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 from but just on my end of course whole close survivors 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 speech as they are today. yes that is also part of this program there was holocaust forum that has invited

together with the presidency here and the. memorial to this event they've want to point to the fact that of the rise of the 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 the 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 it's here in israel people are calling them married this usually in april there will there's usually a siren the country comes to a standstill and people you know commemorate what happened during the 2nd world war then tony thank you very much correspondent tanya kramer. and as the holocaust commemoration gets underway w. will be bringing you special coverage throughout the day for dow just reminder of the top story we're following for you china has walked out of the city of new haunt the metropolis of the center of the corona virus outbreak flights train spotters and ferries in and out of the city 11000000 have been stalled health officials around the world are scrambling to contain the outbreak as fears grow up a global. so you tune in for
