with other world leaders to mark holocaust remembrance day we'll also hear a survivor's story. plus bangor boils up over greece's overcrowded migrant camps thousands of protesters demand the government shut down facilities on 3 greek islands for refugees squalor and desperation. hello i'm terry martin glad you could join me it's never been tried before and no one sure it will work chinese authorities are attempting to quarantine the city of new han metropolis of 11000000 people that's at the center of the corona virus outbreak that's spreading across asia and beyond all transport in and out of the city has been closed down but will the attempt to isolate it 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 to would not work we know. if this is happening we will note carefully to what extent it is maintained how long it can. or public transport within the city of has also been suspended with residents of byes 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 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. paul mason the been detailed records are very

valuable for analyzing and evaluating large amounts of data going forward. so 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 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. way 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 gold emergency of international concern is one. extremely seriously and one only prepared to make. consideration of all the evidence one case has been confirmed side of asia a man fell in the u.s.

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 most stringent checks are in place at airports across the world in a bid to reduce the risk of the disease spreading further. or 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 looked out on its 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 are originates from the fish market and and they have been spread by citizens from han who then traveled also to thailand to south korea to japan and so of course the forces are focusing on that area but even in beijing where i'm based right now you see a lot of you know body temperature scan us 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 across the country. they're very very very i wouldn't call it panic but you know literally everyone is very face must my father lots majority to protect themselves and people are very skeptical it's what's you know government. numbers and also to 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 file boy has been affected and the reason is many people here they still remember the sauce pandemic in 20022000 at the time the heart has tried to cover up the real threat of the fires 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 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 prominent the about the virus outbreak

at hockey commission from the communist pot his also urged its politicians to not come off any infection to stand not to you know just for the reputation of the local politicians to you know. they french they called from want transparency and i think that's a 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 20022301 thank you very much for bringing us up to date there correspond of probably incredible in beijing. now some of the other stories making headlines 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. new south wales state said the crash of an aerial water tanker used to battle the bushfires created a huge fireball in the mountains of the snowy narrow reach. experts at the united nations say the phone of amazon founder and washington post owner jeff bezos was

lived through what is known in israel as the shoah later the joint with this really president reuben rivlin and other world leaders. our jerusalem correspondent tanya craver is at yad vashem and joins us now from there trying to tell us more about the gathering this taking place there today. yeah i'm standing right outside from. the security of the see there's high security today and you might see the white tent behind me this was built over the side of the wall some in the rio on the side of the. center that this is where all the work leaders will be gathering this afternoon for a memorial service over 45 delegations survived and the last couple of days in israel and dave will be gathering here this afternoon so it will be

a memorial service with prayers with. music but there will be also speeches given by the host. israeli president driven by flynn by acting prime minister benjamin netanyahu but also by the international leaders like russian president vladimir putin the french president in my call and also in a very important gesture to the germans the german president trying to stein my i was speaking. it is the 1st time that a german president was speaking at the yacht for the morea center. tanya this holocaust commemoration comes at a time when so anti semitic by islands are on the rise in many parts of the world and we expect that to be addressed in the speech is there today. well absolutely so the world holocaust forum which is one of the hosts of this event once to

address you know the rising semitism and i think the leaders they will speak of they have to strike a balance between in this speech is and that's what you will be hearing probably later in the dressing and commemorating what happened in the past but also addressing what is happening today and i spoke to a lot of holocaust survivors in the past weeks and you know they said they're very worried about what's going on in the world and i think leaders here do have to address that so on the one hand to speak about to commemorate keep the memory alive what happened 75 years ago but also to say no to racism no to discrimination and no to and to semitism. beyond that high level gathering that's taking place that you have a sham today how is the holocaust anniversary being remembered elsewhere in israel . why i have to know this is a very special event leading up now to international holocaust day it was

said on the day that the house of its concentration camp was liberated 75 years ago so we'll see on monday. it's a common ration. in poland in auschwitz and today's event is very special because it was invites to by. by the israeli president and the world holocaust forum to come together here to commemorate the liberation of auschwitz normandy in israel the remembrance say for the holocaust is an april that's a day when this you know sirens are sounding in the country the country then comes to a standstill for a couple of minutes to commemorate what happened during world war 2 during the holocaust tony thank you so much i just want to remind our viewers that we are looking at live pictures there from jerusalem where we're seeing not just tony of course but also the russian and and israeli leaders of blood near putin and

special coverage that will begin at 12 noon central european time you're watching t.v. news still to come people on the greek island of les paul's protest that they can't take anymore migrants we've talked to one man and his wife getting increasingly desperate in the overcrowded camps on the island. 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 was impeached last month on charges of abuse of power and obstructing congress he's accused of pressuring ukraine to investigate former democratic vice president joe biden a political rival and of impeding a congressional inquiry into the matter trump denies any wrongdoing. lead impeachment manager democrat adam schiff 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 trumps 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 more let's go straight to washington where d.w. correspondent. 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 adam schiff 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 use 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 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'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 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. it obvious public talking mean to me there a little earlier from les posen hears from those who say their communities cannot cope with the press surge of migrants attempts are already overcrowded with squalid conditions. 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 constantino smith who is from the island's capital mytilene 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 you know how do you feel. you know 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 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 shock he built himself it's the conditions in moria that now bother him the most. it's given us definitely. now here

but. what's the what's the knight played. the lead yet in the fridge for the for you don't want to come out but. according to les paul's governor moves to this 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 down 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 want 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 start 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 demand our demands. not just a symbolic move but rather a cry for help to finally take the pressure off these greek islands. to dubbo switzerland now and day 3 of the world economic forum or 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 at the summit

saying it was instead of time to display optimism european commission had personal affront to ally and later focused her speech at the meeting on sustainability. our senior business editor ben visit is on the scene there in davos 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 sort of framework is needed when it comes to investing in things like when your balls and green technology it's the young dictating to the old on what we need to do to save our planet gratitude and back 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 fridge that work that's already been 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 angela merkel is due to speak there today. 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 khat chancellor and has been a huge supporter of german industry it's a huge job creator in germany and the car industry is very successful but how green is it well not all that green at all we know about the diesel scandal we know about a shift to renewables in the car industry's 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 thanks so much to all in their. you're watching d.w. news conflicts with 10 sebastian is coming up next i'll be back at the top of the next hour and you get all our stories online if either of you dr paul thanks for
