that you've been recording some of what's going outside of your apartment and will hide and we have a clip about let's let's take a look now 7. was . was was. when explained what we're looking at in hearing in that clip. it was kind of a spontaneous burst where they called each other on on the on the phone on the chaplain ever was kind of a spontaneous burst of. however he said. enthusiastically the wrong word but they're trying to boost each others more around goosed everyone's more round so this does come on. come on let's go to hand. so it's a very positive thing in that sense you know people are trying to build each other

out. and we're seeing this on the street at least i'm seeing this on the street there is there is tension and you know like anything you don't know how much your. your project transference but your you know your for your own tension on to the situation right but when we go out and we've only been out a couple of times you know to the store and i understand what the student was saying we've been lucky and we're a little bit out of the center so when we go to the store we've seen them stocking the shelves and there's been enough there. the meat was a little short but in general the things that they're people are queuing up people are actually quite polite of all waiting for other people. one lady in the store asked me not to take any photos and i respect that you know it makes people uncomfortable. any pictures if all right we'll have to leave it

there a way into place the speaking to us from china where he's a living and working as a teacher thank you for sharing your experiences with us. now officials in the german state of bavaria have confirmed that a 33 year old german man has been diagnosed with the coronavirus state health minister melanie who most said the man contracted the virus from a chinese colleague at a conference in germany that both attended she said varia is well prepared to deal with this and the other cases officials have compiled concise information on the people the infected chinese coworker came into contact with during her visit him and in fact. if you look at the current case the patient is doing well he remains in isolation in the clinic in munich we have urgently attempting to reach people he has been in contact with especially family members and people connected to his company who have already been informed. to feel my. rights in food. and our political correspondent hans brandt was listening in to that press

conference he joins us for more hi hans what else did the bavarian health minister say about this case. i think what's most interesting about this case is the way the infection was spread to the german man the woman came from china but she did not come from who han where the infection broke broke all she came from shanghai and she had been visited by her parents from han just before she left for germany so that's the way the infection got to germany also she did not have any flu symptoms she was asymptomatic all the time that she was here in germany and only on her flight back to china did she feel sick and then go to the authorities there and there in china in shanghai her infection with the coronavirus was diagnosed so this shows that the transmission of the virus is possible from people who don't have any symptoms of the sickness themselves to people who are in close contact

with them the question then is what is close contact and the german authorities have been saying that if you spend maybe of 15 minutes in conversation with such a person that will probably be sufficient to be infected and what about how prepared the state of bavaria is to deal with a possible corona virus outbreak. well all of the officials that have been talking to the press this morning have been saying that the proprietor asians have been ongoing ever since the corona virus outbreak in china in other words they have been reviewed before even the 1st case was detected here in germany so the level of preparation is very high at the moment all the people that were in contact with this chinese woman in close contact with the man the german man who has been infected have been isolated there from told to stay at home that's about 40 people all in all here in germany that are now on under observation and the patient

himself as we've heard is in hospital although he's not particularly ill but he is being looked after in hospital he's being isolated in hospital and the authorities are saying normal hygenic preparation. precautions such as washing hands. and regular airing of rooms where sick people might be or staying at these should be a sufficient at the moment to avoid infection all right our correspondent brand fair thank you let's look at some other stories now making headlines around the world iran has announced it is preparing a series of rocket launchers to deliver civilian satellites into orbit satellite imagery capturing activity at iran's in mom many spaceport appears to substantiate this claim but washington says it believes iran is using the launch to advance its military ballistic missile program u.s. prosecutors say britain's prince andrew has been dodging their requests for help in their investigations into the late sex offender geoffrey epstein and his associates

the british royal had promised to assist investigations into scenes alleging sex trafficking of minors in a number of countries. and lebanon's parliament has passed a budget to address its massive debt and the hopes of protesters who blame politicians for widespread corruption demonstrators vowed to continue protesting until the parliament is brought to how. israel has announced its beefing up forces in the jordan valley part of the occupied west bank ahead of the unveiling of u.s. president trump's middle east peace plan israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in washington along with opposition leader benny gantz where they've been read meeting with a president trump and together they are expected to present to his long awaited peace plan in a few hours time. while details of trump's proposal remain secret there's been speculation that it could give israel the go ahead to annex the jordan valley a move that analysts say is sure to fan the conflict with the palestinians.

the jordan valley in the occupied west bank the area running along the jordan river bordering jordan is to teach equally important for both israelis and palestinians the fertile areas home to israeli settlements palestinian villages and many farms. at this israeli pepper from your version is waiting to hear more about president trump's way forward. we don't need anyone to lay out a peace plan having said that we trust president trump and prime minister netanyahu that they will strike a good deal. expectations are particularly high among israeli officials that the term plan could lead to the annex a sion of the jordan valley area that means it would officially become part of the state of israel as prime minister benjamin netanyahu promised during the last election campaign. i think it's

a historic and dramatic moment for the state of israel. the adoption of israeli law in the jordan valley and the dead sea will give security personal security to the residents of the coastal plain and the people of israel. for decades israeli politicians have demanded that the jordan valley remain with israel as a security buffer as it eastern border with jordan today it is already controlled by israel as a result of the oslo peace accords 1993 this particular area makes up about a quarter of the west bank israeli say they cannot give up on the jordan valley 1st for teaching reasons palestinians say they cannot be a palestinian state without the jordan valley. in the palestinian village of people are waiting to hear what the trump plan actually entail it's the leadership in ramallah of us not consulted because it has cut diplomatic relations with the

trump ministration. he doesn't have the right he owns his own country that he can give to israel to britain to france to germany but he doesn't have the right to just hand out land that isn't his it's not the property of his father that he can just hand out. skepticism also prevents among palestinians in east jerusalem the part of the city palestinians would like to see as their capital in a future state in 2017 trump recognized as the capital of israel many palestinians have no hope that his plan will take their interests into account. this deal brings fear it's a humiliation because since 948 we've trying to establish our presence but we're just humiliated and we don't have any say in any decision making. of this deal of the century is being imposed on us anything that's imposed doesn't invite peace and invites war why because i as

a human i asked for peace and you impose on me peace in your way so you are saying to me you know the phrase i mean the little. people are counting down the time until about the trump plan one thing is all but certain this is the cause for the tensions in the region. that report from did i use tanya kramer and she joins us now from jerusalem for more on this story hi tanya as we just saw in your report this peace plan hasn't been unveiled yet but there are already very strong reactions tell us more about what you've been hearing. well i mean many people don't call it really a peace plan especially on the palestinian side as you heard in that report the palestinian leaders had cut off ties with the ministration. president trump declared. back in 2017 they have not really been consulted in this plan and there's

a sense here that the plan might not take into consideration their interest. rights of the palestinian people and then narrative to be understand there is an emergency meeting being called by the palestinian leadership tonight about the same time that this peace plan of the plan the deal of the century is about to be released in washington older factions have been invited to also hamas which is kind of significant because fatah off its roots dominates the west bank and hamas which was in the gaza strip in the bitter political divides but they also have been reactions of course under israeli side as to the timing of this plan it comes out just about a month before the next elections and also read been hearing from right wing a settler didas although it is sad that this plan might be in favor of israel they already have said that it would not accept and the plan that would have to

notion of a palestinian state 10 year we're talking about a plan that we haven't seen yet i mean what about the details here do we know really what it is likely to include. well there have been a lot of speculations obviously also leaks especially in the israeli media but washington has been very tight lipped about it so we have to wait and see until this is actually released but we will have to look at how this deal is being framed and what power meters it is being done for example will it be based on the principles of 2 states for 2 people that is something that the internet most of the international community has been backing over the past decades of so the trump administration didn't actually cater for this at all really have to look at how palestinian state will be defined according to this you know what about the borders what about the settlements other issues very important is jerusalem of course and

also the issue of refugees so this is what we have to be looking at once this is being released. cramer reporting on the story for us from jerusalem thank you now israeli president reuben rivlin has begun a 3 day trip to germany together with his counterpart. he was welcomed at a jewish high school here in berlin the moses mendelssohn high school is open to both jewish and non jewish students the high profile visit comes amid an alarming rise of anti-semitism here in germany now on monday rivlin and steinmeier attended commemorations at auschwitz marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the nazi death camp the last survivors joined world leaders and dignitaries to bear witness. reliving the horrors of aushev it. the agony etched

over his face. and yet despite the pain these holocaust survivors have returned to this form a death camp to remind the world where anti semitism and racism can lead. in front of the gates of auschwitz known as the gates of death a commemoration ceremony in which delegates from $61.00 countries are taking part and $200.00 auschwitz survivors each with their terrible memories of what happened here. was a naked women trucks from the barracks. castree i can hear. screaming i can hear it in my subconscious when i

remember the event missed you. elza baker who's blind was 8 when she arrived at auschwitz she was one of the 23000 sinti and roma people to portage here it isn't it olmert for me to to be here among so many people who have suffered so blatantly perhaps even much more so than oh i. and. i think. if you. don't know. it i'm upset but in spite of the past anti semitism is on the rise again. in 2020 we hear the same lies the nazis used so effectively in their propaganda they

said jews have too much power through to control the economy and the media jews control governments jews control everything we have this madness online in the media and even within democratic governments these brave men and women know the cost of anti semitism they can't fake it but it already seems that too many have gone listening what on. you and for more on the story we can speak to pinch goldschmidt he is the chief rabbi of moscow and president of the european conference of rabbis mr grossman thank you so much for joining us here on d w we were seeing those images of survivors speaking yesterday saying it is so important to remember it it seems that message is more urgent than ever at least that's what we took away from those ceremonies yesterday why is that in order that the suffering should not be in vain to give meaning to those in

a lot of people who did not survive auschwitz the last words was the scribbled on the wall was never forget and i think that this is the message to our generation and to the future is in order for this not to happen again we're not allowed to forget are people listening to that message i think that the fact the 50 heads of states when jews and last week to commemorate the 50 years of the 75 years of the bridge of auschwitz the fact that was just great effort in auschwitz yesterday speaks for itself speaks volumes. there will be a time in the future which are portals to look like looked at were those survivors will no longer be around to take part in the ceremonies how do you carry that message forward. the message is carrot foot forward through i think

that today in europe which is wished. almost 500000000 citizens every person every child every school child should be one day in his life should go visit auschwitz just see what's going to happen in the center of of the world culture in the sense of woods who does asian what can happen if things go wrong it just hate and there's intolerance you can end up in auschwitz what about the fact that we're seeing at the same time as we're remembering auschwitz we're seeing a rise of an anti-semitism not only across europe from right here in germany why is that. there's a lot of political turbulence the european project is on the question and when things are fine when the know it cannot have difficulties so people don't

search to blame the other today because of such problems because of the fears experienced by a large part of the european population so we're looking always to blame the want the immigrant to do so and this is the reason why at the summit isn't reoccurs but . i have to say that a large part of this resurgence of anti-semitism is because of the social media the social media is totally an edited contents of of. of people a totally unbalanced can and influence millions of people so radicals can influence minds of people and they are being given this platform they don't even have to pay for it and this is the great danger and i think part of the political troubles today is. that all those people have on the social

media mr grossman you also rebuilt the jewish community in russia after going in there in the very early early ninety's looking at the jewish community you have in moscow and also across russia but also non jews how do you teach them to remember what has happened and to carry that into the future what is the message that you give them. the message. we give to our coast citizens in all those countries where today the is again a jewish community and i think the revival of the jewish communities in eastern europe after the fall of the wall is has been one of the great miracles of our times and i thank god that i was able to do my little part in this the renaissance of the jewish community in eastern europe and i think that when was tell the governments the fact that you have today a functioning jewish community in your country this is adding to the beauty

of your country and you place so i think this is a message to which it is being received with a lot of understanding we'll have to leave it there goldschmidt the chief rabbi of moscow president of the european conference the rabbis thank you for joining us here and thank you for having me. you know we have some of breaking news coming into us now of britain will allow the chinese tech giant while way to build out limited portions of its high speed 5 g. network now the u.k. government said the company would be excluded from sensitive aspects of the system but this move goes against u.s. objections that china could use the company's equipment to steal western business secrets and we'll have more details on that story as the day progresses now let's get a recap of our top story here and you know if you china has asked the citizens to delay foreign travel on the global fears over the spread of
