are coping under lockdown and president trump gets set to unveil his middle east peace plan israel is hoping that trump will give it the green light to annex the jordan river valley a move sure to spark conflict with palestinians and i'm. sad . to w.b. it's a protester in lebanon who says that sectarianism is out but reform is and a complete redesign of the political system is the only way to end the country's problems but veteran politicians say that's just wishful thinking. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program it may be the 1st person to person infection of a coronavirus. side of asia and it is here in germany officials say that

a man contracted the virus from a chinese colleague at a conference other confirmed cases of the viral outbreak in europe have so far involve patients who had recently been to china here's more this is where the 1st person in germany confirmed both corona virus was infected it was at a company training event here in the southern state of bavaria a week ago a chinese colleague attended it but after her return to shanghai she tested positive for the virus. according to local health authorities a german colleague then started showing flu like symptoms at the weekend. test was carried and yesterday evening the results came back positive for the. people is where the patient is now being monitored in hospital doctors say he is awake responsive and without a fever also already has have said further protective measures have been put in

place. in kentucky but the focus now is on the people who were in contact with the chinese women but the people who had contact with the infected or german especially close contact them talk health officials say the man is in an isolation room and is doing well. and the chase is on the story she joins us now with more emmanuel what else was discussed at this press conference. was that in the most interesting information from that press conference was to learn more about the way the infection was spread now this woman came from shanghai and she yes they'd only a couple of days in germany between the nineteen's and the 23rd of january both parents come from the affected region and they visited her shortly before her stay and that's how the infection got to germany this woman didn't have any symptoms and only on her way back from germany in the plane did she start to feel sick and then

she was checked by the sanitary of cemetery authorities back in shanghai where she was diagnosed we as a virus so that shows that the transmission of the virus is possible even during the convention phase before it even any symptoms and one of the big concerns of course is how to prevent this from spreading now what efforts are underway. well here in germany there are cemetery checks for people coming from the f.a.a. today areas in china in 5 different airports there's the biggest airport in germany so in barely knew nick off in hamburg now the authorities say they found he prepared even before break because they were training they had simulations and all measures have been reviewed before a difference case was detected and therefore in a phrase ministry issued a travel warning for a german citizen and we still waiting for a decision whether or not to repatriate the 90 german nationals currently in will

hunt ok so i mean that's the situation on the ground right now in bavaria how about the country in general. well so far has officials don't think that's taking measures such as wearing a face for example are necessary but they warn that even 15 minutes face to face with someone infected could suffice to contract the virus and now it's quite difficult to differentiate the symptoms of the corner virus to those from those of a regular suv but like i said they were preparing us. for a show that's ongoing even before the chinese breaks and they were reviewed before even the 1st case was detected here in germany and older people who were in the press and infected was the woman who was infected have been isolated we are talking about 40 people who currently operate observation and the man currently staying under observation is not feeling particularly so so far that has authority to say that with no mo hygenic precautions are washing hands

a regular airing of rooms additional be sufficient to prevent the spreading of the virus emanuel to chase thank you thank you. now other than germany more than a dozen countries have confirmed cases of the virus in china the death toll has jumped to $100.00 with more than $4500.00 cases confirmed scientific studies suggest that each infected person passes the virus on to 2 or 3 other people on average entire cities are already under quarantine and now the government has asked people to delay foreign travel for millions worrying and waiting are the new normal . the love and support that's most needed in china right now the news popping up on their phones is mostly to worrying so of the scenes in some cities and the virus at peace and to woo hun checkpoints everywhere with the lockdown in place streets of completely emptied out if you're a woman for me and. when we face

a new type of virus of which a lot is still unknown a lot of people may feel anxious. psychologists have been deployed in hospitals to treat patients yeah hi-lo and experts are there to instruct people on how to protect themselves and then meldon you couldn't be under good info to beijing says it has to situation under control images released by the state media show that supermarkets have sufficient supplies and prices are stable but some dismissed those images as propaganda this student from thailand in who han has such a different experience it's very difficult to find. if you want to buy it right now because this is a shortage everyone wants. but it's retreating very very well it's basically just said well here well you should well jack get one. you really can't get

so used to being out and out together as you know it's a very social culture and sewer very good reasons they're being told to stay at home and that's all that's the heart of just meant to make and you do see people out occasionally and you know the 2 times that i went out on food runs to get food and to get water you know wearing a mask and. and have you know as the stew discussed you dress up as best you can but i have seen people out and i've certainly seen some families out walking and i've seen a gentleman in the school to pajamas storing a mosque exercising there a lot there are a lot of parks with exercise equipment that's quite common here and you know things that we've used ourselves when to place this so we thank you so much for joining us this afternoon to give us a little bit of a window into what is going on there and of course from all of us here at the w.

deal of the century u.s. president donald trump is preparing to unveil his plan to end the israel palestinian conflict israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in washington for a summit with the president as netanyahu is political challenger benny guns both men have indicated their support for trump's proposals for the details have yet to be released but 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 who have already rejected the plan before it's been unveiled. jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world and one of the most divided it's key to the israeli palestinian conflict with both sides laying claim to the city. palestinians want east jerusalem which is really occupied it as their capital in

any peace agreement. for decades international negotiators let's by the us have tried to find a way to satisfy both sides a viable 2 state solution is the only way this conflict can end and there is not much time to achieve it and there is no other alternative. us president donald trump has also promised to solve the crisis it's not easy i've heard it's one of the toughest deals of all but i have a feeling that we're going to get there eventually i hope. but in the controversial move trump decided his administration would recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and in 2018 moved the u.s. embassy there this infuriated the palestinians the territories allocated to them by

international law are already controlled by israel due to its occupation of the west bank and a total control it excerpts over the borders of the gaza strip. in the member 2019 the trump administration excess are paid at the situation by declaring israeli settlements the president has also stopped giving financial aid to the un agency for palestinian refugees the un r w a it supports 5000000 palestinian refugees across the region. no wonder then that palestinians say they don't have much faith and trumps the latest plan. ending this decades long conflict looks nowhere in sight. you're watching news still to come on the program bringing a writing system back to life we need a nigerian painter who's letting these ancient symbols speak again are you. but 1st it is to lebanon where there has been no letup in the protests despite

a new government that has been installed to address protesters frustration on monday security forces fired tear gas at demonstrators trying to stop lawmakers from entering parliament where a new budget was approved on top of the political turmoil lebanon has been grappling with a deepening financial crisis w. reporter i.e. travel to the capital beirut where she spoke with young young one young protester excuse me who is fed up with politics as usual. oh you. heard that joe has been protesting on the streets of lebanon since october 17th. for her this is personal. and we've been touring in my home and this is part of the why i remember the stuff between my school and university because i couldn't because it's so expensive this is part of

the why i remember electricity being a minute being capable of turning on the heating when i was in my family this is where the one. she's not the only one a failing economy white spread unemployment and adequate public services have taken their toll on lebanese from all walks of life. and others blame career politicians for lebanon's problems. some of them has been there ever since i was born 922070 speaking with the name of the people while generations are rising within the thinking within the from consciousness within the indication when i was born i felt that after 2 weeks of demonstrations the prime minister resigned in late october and a new government was formed. but many like perla want more of the. way for things to work today is to actually. move this. more of the political.

group of improved the through over 4 years lebanon needs to. get out of its experiences then in its politics. getting rid of lebanon sectarian system which protesters say hinders reform and fosters corruption isn't as simple as changing a government. the country has 18 officially recognized religious groups and they all have to somehow participate in government. parliament seats are divided among most of these groups even the 3 highest political offices are allocated based on religion the quota basis jim has roots in lebanon's history and was reinforced following the country's civil war and there are some like lawmakers alone the disagree with protesters and still see a need for the system its need for the needs of course you know all these are

diversified societies and you need a minimum of safeguards to ensure everyone that they are being able to to get their rights you cannot move from a sectarian government and system to a secular one from a day to another it's a process. i support the process but not to an overnight switch. probably knows that getting to bigger goals will take time but says the social cohesion born out of the movement has brought the country one step closer to change . she's convinced her presence on the streets is necessary for that change to continue. and let's bring in i.e. abraham she filed that report for us she just got back in fact from lebanon she's here in the studio welcome. about your experience and the people especially that you spoke with in beirut what is driving them out onto the streets day after day

because they are passionate about what they are protesting well this is a this is a protest movement that's been going on since october 17th so it's over 100 days old and you know it's had many ups and downs but i think the underlying drive is that people are just fed up the look around the world $2192020.00 and there's still a lack of basic services when we were there we would experience up to 6 hours a day of electricity cuts health care is. affordable corruption is everywhere the basic services that lebanese people expect to have you know since since the civil war ended in 1009 years still be they're being promised them but they're not they're not getting them at the same time there's a complete lack of trust between the people and the ruling political class which has been there has been there for decades they just don't want to even have a kind of dialogue with them anymore it's looks awful a bit more about the structures that are in place because it has this ethnic and religious political system protesters say that that is blocking reforms currently

but there was a reason why this was put in place i mean it was supposed to defuse some of those tensions in fact by giving each group representation in the government is there a way to reconcile that and still provide for an environment of inclusion i mean lebanon is really a very unique country in the middle east no other country in the middle east is as diverse as lebanon and no country has in shrines in its political system this inclusion of all religious sects and i think no one i spoke to with have anything to say against inclusion but the criticism is is that you know this kind of engineering of representation has created a cold peace. between the political leaders but has not been you know fostering of development development in the country the politicians have been too busy with their own rivalries to really focus on building the infrastructure of a country and then in the absence of that infrastructure that they have failed to build we see sometimes 11 on these political parties acting as

a sort of alternative social security system so if you if your child wanted to have a surgery you would in all likelihood go to a political party that your that you support and ask them for money to help to help your child and it's and then you know you support them with what so you know it's reduced the kind of you know the the services that people are supposed to get as a right into a political transaction and people are saying well we're all for inclusion but we also need the system to work i think another thing which is important is that you also have a younger generation that doesn't relate to the reasons why the system exists the system exists because of you know goes all the way back to the ottoman empire french rule and then the civil war and young people don't relate to that and they don't want to be boxed in their religious identity 1st and being the b'nei 2nd they want to be citizens and this system is also not addressing corruption this is also another massive point of the protesters isn't it true i mean

a huge topic in this protest movement has been accountability lebanon is a country it's a tiny country of 4000000 people has the 3rd highest debt to g.d.p. ratio in the world the banking system when we were there people are you know the banks because of the protests have imposed defacto capital controls on people's withdrawals because you know there are a lot of rumors of the banks are not liquid because of money that they have lent to the government which is bankrupt and is in all of this debt so you know people want accountability and they want transparency and they want to know how how their country is being run and you can definitely see if there's a positive outcome of this protest movement a huge interest in how this country is being run in an effort to hopefully change in the future. thank you. nigeria is a country of more than 500 languages nowadays almost all of them are written in the latin alphabet but it wasn't always that way one system arriving using symbols has

a long history our next report an artist is hoping to bring back to life. a controversial figure in the tree may judge. the mind that. 50 years ago. it's ok if you pass that many people would want to remember but. the artist has chosen to tell the story in a very unique way by making use of an ancient right insists the he did in the piece to messages of peace and unity. you see. scribble. scribbles. and give them. these signs and symbols ancient form of communication that was used by sound.

before. they're called in c b d. o b. c b d is an evidence that africans have been writing before the arrival of european he's part of the movements that are preserved in the ancient african symbols it's a movement that gained more attention after the right scenes were featured in the. movie black part of the c.b.d. is one of the official routine languages in the fiction our country. african art experts say the movie pays homage to the almost extinct wage to be ignorant of history. is to be ignorant of life because it is who we are it is our culture it is a great heritage we need to prove tactics with our lives we need to prove

preserve it with everything we have got. be no always incorporates incivility writings into his artwork he says the symbols have stuck with him since he discovered them a few years ago i got screenshots from the internet you know and i so the thing embraced me too because i came to understand a way of being able to you know give it flow and give video give interpretations and make things. related and connect with themself in a particular piece so i going to see the answer because in to me too it's been less personal mission to educate more people about the writing system and to make the world embrace it. now the top stories that we have been following for you here on news germany has confirmed its 1st case of coronavirus
