this is deja vu news large from berlin china takes drastic steps to curb a deadly viral outbreak work starts on a hospital to house people infected with a new virus authorities about to have a ready in 6 days 30000000 people are under lockdown in hopes of containing this for. also coming up german chancellor angela merkel is in istanbul for what are likely to be tense talks with turkey's president projectile fair to want to take a look at what is at stake. but also bring you the latest from the world economic forum in davos. the world economic forum tries to brief write the report on how

capitalism works but in the game record maximizing profit is not even possible for coverage up ahead from davos. and an s.o.s. from a berlin nightclub before it's forced to close its doors 1000 sign a petition to save the venue but with the city's nightlife under increasing pressure will that make any difference. i'm sumi so misconduct thank you for joining us china is expanding its unprecedented assets to contain a deadly new coronavirus imposing travel restrictions on more than 41000000 people now the epicenter of this outbreak is the city of new holland that is and who by province but it has now spread to at least 10 other cities and all of them are on lockdown it comes as trying to heads of to lunar new year when millions of people

travel to take part in celebrations or many of those events have now been canceled with more than 800 inspections reported and over 26 deaths authorities are taking any chances. a city of 11000000 people with almost no one on the streets trains planes buses cars almost nothing leaves so enters with han. hospitals and the epicenter of the outbreak of overwhelmed with patients so overwhelmed that authorities have now decided to build a new dedicated hospital from scratch hoping to complete construction in just 6 days. in existing hospitals health workers are working tirelessly against the virus didn't know it was young kids it would of course we're worried and so are our relatives. but we're nurses and will do our job as long as we wear the uniform just by the rising number of cases the world health organization has

refrained from declaring a global health emergency and the question was whether this event constitutes a public of emergency of international concern. to d.g. which is provided by the emergency committee is that no more of the time. but china isn't taking any chances transport links within and to a number of nearby cities have been cut and the fear of contagion has produced dramatic scenes like here at physio airport where a man suspected of carrying the virus was confined to a quarantine container. the lockdown now covers tens of millions of people and it's putting a serious damper on the lunar new year holiday. while chinese authorities are taking strict measures to contain this fire respect do they believe they're getting it under control here's more from correspondent in beijing if you watch the

official news in the evening in the states then they acknowledge yes it's a severe crisis but it's under control and on so. yes you know it really another picture because people are sharing a message the short videos. from the epicenter of the virus overcrowded hospitals that have to reject patients also hospital. in style temporary tents outside their buildings because they cannot cope with the demands and also the needs of all the patients so it really depends also on what kind of information you're accessing whether you're really for eating the young people who share information on social media they are all where face masks one of the older generation is somewhat yeah. but less than the u.s. and they are more. because right now that's also good news and actually it's also be a celebration. let's get some more analysis on the story now we can speak to passy

penton and he's the head of the european center for disease prevention and control in stockholm passive thank you for joining us as we saw there china is expanding its lockdown of including more cities is this an effective way to contain the virus or is it coming too late. well these are very drastic measures that the chinese authorities have decided to take in response to this relatively large and rapidly evolving outbreak that they have on their hands these are measures that would could not be done in european. context. and they are taken with great expense to to the local and chinese government as well as the economy in general in these cities. this is very much done to to minimize the possibility of infectious individuals appearing in other cities in china but also in other cities globally so the chinese authorities are taking these

measures. much to protect the global community. so what makes this virus so serious i mean how does it compare to regular winter flu outbreaks for example. so 1st of all this pirates has evolved and appeared at the worst possible time in one hand but also the worst possible time for us in europe since we are in the middle of this season's influenza outbreak it is likely that in one hand for example a large portion those people that you report on trying to get care in the health care system are actually influenza cases but you don't you do need to have a laboratory diagnosis to differentiate between the 2 the virus that we're talking about now in the novel coronavirus we have very very limited data to base our risk assessments on we have published that on our web site couple of days ago but from

what we understand so far this virus is very similar both genetically in its behavior to the 2003 sars virus which caused globally important outbreak for all in health care systems more than 8000 cases at the time with a 10 percent mortality rate so so about $700.00 cases dying in different locations around the world so we we the national public health authorities globally are all preparing the health care systems to to face these issues you mentioned the sars outbreak i mean what has been learned from that what do we know now about effectively containing this type of virus. well 1st of all we know that it is very important to detect infectious cases early as possible that needs awareness and immediate action from the whole health care systems in those

countries where these cases come potentially be detected and at this stage it is all the countries in the world we have not seen transmission outside imported cases from c.t. in. other countries outside of china and we i'm sorry we haven't seen transmission in countries outside of china but only exported cases from the. but it is likely that you also see cases in europe in the coming week as people are traveling away from ok we'll have to leave it there patty fenton and head of the european center for disease prevention and control in stockholm thank you for joining us here and. let's get a round up now of some of the other states and their country the cleric not opposes all foreign interference in iraq but as recently aligned himself more closely with iran. president trump says it is likely he will launch his long awaited middle east

peace plan early next week trump was traveling back to washington from the world economic forum when he told reporters he believed it was a great plan that really would work and at least 7 people have been killed in the sears winter storm that has been battering spain for several days it has caused major flooding and brought extreme temperatures the regions that catalonia and the islands have been the worst hits. german chancellor angela merkel has arrived in istanbul for talks with turkish president reza tie affair to one they're expected to focus on the future of a migration deal between turkey and the european union that helped curb flows of migrants to europe but the visit comes at a time a strained relations between berlin and. chancellor angela merkel's 1st stop in istanbul was the opening ceremony of the new campus of a turkish german university agra and berlin have extensive cultural and economic

ties but the 2 nations are looking for a fresh start in a new decade and their leaders could be hoping 2020 brings about progress on some prickly issues for starters there's libya's complex civil war turkish president wretch up type 0 to one took part in a peace conference in berlin earlier this month having to point troops to libya turkey has become one of the key players there that a used 2016 refugee deal with turkey will most likely be up for discussion to under that agreement turkey must stop migrants from crossing into a new territory in exchange for billions of euros to help look after the refugees it hosts. one has warned he can't up hold his end of the deal if fighting in syria as it led province causes more people to flee. merkel though is likely to urge other want to stick with the pact. finally germany will probably seek answers over the issue of german nationals detained in turkish prisons or banned from

leaving the country some a jolt turkish nationals and have suffered under the government's crackdown on dissent following the failed military curfew 3 and a half years ago. we are high on is covering transamerica as visit to istanbul and she joins us for more hi yulia good to see you as we heard there are plenty of issues for these 2 leaders to discuss tell us what's going to top the agenda today. well yes the list of issues that might potentially come up during today's at talks between the german chancellor and president edwin in the prom the premises right behind me here is quite long the crisis is in syria in libya in iran but from what we understand the so-called a migrant pact will be high on the agenda the number of migrants trying to cross into the european union from turkey illegally has gone up sharply in recent months

in the past a year and there are fears that that the war in syria is a province could cause many more people to flee and try to cross into turkey now this migration pact signed in 2016 between ankara and the european union is looking more fragile the longer it is in place turks present add on has repeatedly threatened to open the gates for migrants to europe as he put it basically saying he can shoulder the burden of hosting nearly $4000000.00 refugees here in turkey alone he's also accused the u. e.u. of not having paid and sends the promised 6 a 1000000000 euros of aid to money which the e.u. says is not true now chancellor merkel on the other hand has made this pact the core the center of hell migration policy so my take is she's here in istanbul today to make. sure taki the turkish president is still committed to that deal at the same time relations between germany and turkey have to teary rated over the past few years what needs to happen to improve those relations. well

some visible attempts are being made today just a little earlier the german chancellor and the present add on in or go right to the new campus of the turkish sherman university here in istanbul a place with students from both countries can study together merkel has called it an extraordinary project of cooperation and one called her my idea friend but of course these displays of harmony can't hide the fact that there is a lot of tension still there in this relationship you've mentioned german citizens allegedly for political reasons here in turkish jails of price freedom freedom of opinion have come under attack here in turkey increasingly that's something the german chancellor has repeatedly criticized and many here in turkey but also at home in germany hope she'll find some clear words today now the turkish side on the other hand has repeatedly accused germany of aiding terrorists of the outlawed p k

k for example so i think it takes a lot and it's still a long way to go until these relations between germany and turkey can be called normal again given that backdrop what concretely do you think we here expect to come out of today's meeting. well i don't have to a high expectations there i'm not expecting any breakthrough initiatives to be announced but probably chancellor merkel wants to take home a commitment by add on that he still opposed as migration pact an add on for himself will press for political concessions under this refugee deal for example visa liberalization for his citizens that something he has promised his citizens that they can travel more easily into the european union our correspondent there for us thank you. throughout leaders from around the world attended ceremonies in jerusalem to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the nazi death camp auschwitz they pledge solidarity with israel and they vow to uphold the

series the sopranos has accused former producer harvey weinstein of raping her she was the 1st accuser to give evidence at his trial in new york weinstein is pleading not guilty to charges of assaulting 2 women he says all of his sexual encounters were consensual. and swarms of locusts are eating their way across large parts of east africa it is the worst outbreak some regions have seen there in 70 years researchers say they could severely affect food supplies locusts reproduce rapidly and if left unchecked they could balloon to 500 times their current number by june . now it is the final day of the world economic forum meeting in davos this year has largely been dominated by one subject the environment there's been a strong messages from activists credited to him as well as a call to action from u.n. secretary general antonio tennis international trade and artificial intelligence

were also high on the agenda in davos and thursday saw a call from german chancellor angela merkel for a countries to talk more to one another. on the ground in davos are our senior business editor ben facility and reporter. they've been covering events there for us this week and here are their takeaways. this forum pitted u.s. president donald trump against young swedish activist gratitude bag you could not get any different no you couldn't bend on the one hand you have the elderly climate denier in chief on the other hand you have a much more youthful face of climate activism so she railed against him and other world leaders for their own action in the face of an environmental catastrophe he called her a prophet of doom but who do you think won that battle that's an easy one trump got the most laughs got the most what were they laughing at him or with him that well he was here basically campaigning on an election what people here wanted to hear was who's going to save the planet well he did say that the u.s.

was going to join this initiative to plant one trillion trees this initiative that by the world economic forum but how much does that mean really yeah that's the hard part davos is always full of pledges and promises it's action we want to see of course but we have seen companies sign up to a new manifesto and a new framework in which they will now be held responsible to society and the environment not just profits and losses and that's a huge change the big for auditing firms signed up to it scores of companies did as well now i'm willing to believe in the goodwill but i do see a bit of a disconnect there amber earlier this week when there was a survey released of c.e.o.'s that put environment and climate catastrophe as the number 11 worry that they have number one was what then it was over regulation exactly so companies are too focused on the short term not the long term and it's the transition that's going to be very very key mikkel the german chancellor said

that we can't leave anybody behind this has to be a joint effort the chinese also said that the world needs to work together and then not at the moment but what they did do this week was talk they all came together to davos to talk now picking up on what he said about miracles he did say the impatience of the youth had to be understood and had to be top after all they are going to inherit the planet they're going to live beyond 2050 and we may not. and it was the young change makers here telling the old white guys how to run their economies and how to save the planet perhaps that's how it should be maybe. stranger things have happened one of the strangest things that happened to me this week was bill browder the u.s. financier who used to be one of the biggest foreign investors in russia but was expelled from veiling corruption i was standing here on the balcony with me and then told me how the swiss officials had unfolded a plot to possibly kill him did you feel safe standing here with him i did know it well i'm glad you made it to the end of the forum alive i'm glad we both did it

right then fizzle and there for us now here in berlin it looks like time might be running out for one of the city's mainstays its legendary night clubs the german capital has always been known for its wild club scene but with international investors and property developers driving rents up nightclubs are feeling the pressure hundreds of people turned out to protest against the closure of one berlin venue. it's 1 30 in the morning at greece now in berlin district one of the city's most popular techno clubs the party is just getting started and the line outside is growing and the christmas party the greeks miller is known throughout europe and even the world many people come just for certain d.j.'s. we also have lots of regulars who live nearby. live in quotes but in a new. but the clubs lease runs out at the end of january investors want to do

something else with the former industrial size and that means closing the venue more than $40000.00 people have signed a petition to save us several 100 turned out to protest the decline of berlin's nightlife. dying out the city has lost about a 100 of them in the past 10 years but of course we're seeing a decline in the quality of clubs caused by a growing city that's getting more expensive clubs in mid to used to be of on guard now have to sew champagne and play lots of pop music to make money the list of clubs that have already closed or risk doing so is long the stories are often the same places that once hosted wild parties like the original tres or have been turned into shopping malls. not only is there an outcry from the music scene other creatives have written an open letter to demand action. oh.

for them the only ones that we have very diverse projects are crowded out for techno clubs alternative living spaces for the social cultural centers. thus the city's lifeblood is being drained the start to make way for some boring office buildings instead will grow towards a good boat. the berlin city government is mediating between landlords and club owners but this has little power when it comes to tenants rights. the truth is we would need stronger regulations for commercial rentals bubblin houseboats in the federal council initiative has wide support for federal government hasn't done anything debating whether to classify clips of couture venue's that would have legal consequences for construction planning sequences wished. the public outcry seems to have made a difference for greece the city has now offered the proprietors

a new venue but it has become emblematic of concerns that serious measures are needed to save berlin's legendary club scene. let's get a reminder now of our top stories here on new china has started building a hospital to house people instructed with a deadly new virus they help to have a grady in 6 days 30000000 people are under lockdown in the hopes of containing the virus spread. and german chancellor angela merkel is in istanbul for talks with turkish president friendships have to want they're expected to focus on the future of the migration deal between turkey and the e.u. that help curb sloes of migrants to europe. coming up next sunday that we are show to the point turn international debate from berlin and today's guests are looking at the power struggle in libya and the question does peace have a chance that in just a few minutes here under that you've secured. the
