east it calls for a palestinian state with its capital in east jerusalem and it also grants israel control of disputed territories in the jordan valley now speaking alongside israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu with no representative from the palestinians president the us president described his proposal as quote the deal of the century my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security today israel has taken a giant step toward peace yesterday prime minister netanyahu informed me that he is willing to endorse the vision as the basis for direct negotiations and i will say the general also indorsed and very strongly with the palestinians a historic breakthrough under this vision jerusalem will remain israel's

undivided very important undivided capital. to of all right that was earlier today we have team coverage of this announcement i'm joined by our correspondents tanya kramer in jerusalem and alexander phenomena in the u.s. capital washington d.c. to both of you good evening alexander let me start with you the u.s. president revealed his peace plan today with the israeli prime minister netanyahu without any representatives of the palestinians being president how do you read that. well indeed how can you have a win win opportunity for both sides when one party is not present when the plan is introduced to the public so it was very telling and i would assume that the white house wanted to move forward knowing that the palestinians vote to reject the plan

knowing that the palestinian leadership is not on speaking terms with the trauma administration they wanted to move forward hoping that there will be enough pressure on the palestinian leadership to advance to plan to support its president promised to billions of dollars in international investment to establish a new palestinian entity he called on about us to support the plan and what was also notably was that there were 3 countries present at the white house event or mar bahrain and the united arab emirates and that of course was aimed at showing that there is some support for the plan in the region in alexander we're just getting reaction now from the palestinian president mahmoud abbas he has called this peace plan a conspiracy take a listen to what he just said. i would like to say to trump and the tanya who

wanted to know the true solution is not for sale here. well and all our rights are not for sale and they said that by not bargaining with your conspiracy deal when not. tanya so we see right there the palestinian president rejecting this plan from the u.s. president saying it belongs into the trash bin of history i'm wondering from where you're standing could this plan actually maybe even further tensions in the region when it reaches hard to initial reactions of the palestinian president and he said very clearly no to this so-called deal of the century and he made it very clear to sign this is not for sale our rights the palestinian rights as he said are not for

sale so you can say that the plan proposes a contingent state to fold the palestinians but only under certain conditions and also the issue of jerusalem which is so important for the palestinians on the one hand the plan propose it that it's an undivided jerusalem which they remain under israeli control and they could be some part of easton to loosen them up is to assume that could be in the future at the company but it's also not specified in which neighborhood that should be so this tolls very short of the idea at a public stimulants of a viable independent and sovereign palestinian state in turn and we understand that netanyahu plans to ask his cabinet to wind dorce his plan to annex parts of the west bank as soon as this coming sunday so are we seeing trump's peace plan in

action or bound to be put into action. yes there are reports to the media that this could happen as early as sunday and that would be a very dramatic development when we heard mr netanyahu speaking he was mainly speaking you know to the right wing and the settler a community also you know pointing out the gain support for israel the gain from this proposal having said that there have also already been reactions even before the plan was released by some sadness and certainly leaders who have said they would have a problem you know with the notion if enough is step loosing a palestinian state so there could be also some problems here for mr netanyahu going at this in alexander you know we've got these 2 leaders standing today side by side of the white house netanyahu he's been indicted faces charges of fraud

we've got an impeached us president on trial for abuse of power what do you think what does trump stand to gain domestically from this peace plan. well i think that president trump is hoping to demonstrate that he is not consumed by the impeachment trial in the senate that he has more important things to do and that he is not shying away siang way from a soul the big problems and of course he was not only addressing the international audience during his press conference in the white house today he was also addressing his space here in the u.s. as the christian evan jellicoe who strongly support the state of israel and of course also influential figures in the jewish communities here in the u.s. and he needs their supporters to be reelected in november and tanya just briefly what about netanyahu what does he stand to gain with this. well there has been

a lot of talk of course in israel why this peace plan or a dissident of sentries release now just a couple of weeks before the next election so this is clearly seen as also as a house has been speculated as to how. the acting prime minister right now but i have to tell you the biggest news today in israeli media was also that he has been formally indicted. that's the 1st time the prime minister has been and indicted and this will also play a role of course for the elections that are coming up here in a month's time yeah it's interesting how that big story kind of got swept under the rug today by a peace plan alexander phenomena in washington d.c. tanya kramer on the story force in jerusalem to both of you thank you. and we have some breaking news coming in tsunami warnings have been issued for parts of cuba and jamaica that follows

a very strong under sea earthquake we understand between the 2 caribbean islands other island groups in coastal areas have also been included in this morning the quake we understand was initially measured at a magnitude of $7.00 it was that upgraded to $7.00 and again a tsunami warning they are being issued for areas around cuba and jamaica now to the other big story of the day here in germany authorities are trying to downplay fears that the corona virus could spread throughout the country it comes after doctors in the southern state of bavaria confirmed the 1st case in the country the disease emerged last month in china where it has already killed more than $100.00 people. it's believed to be the feste she meant to human transmission in europe. a man in his thirty's has tested positive for the corona virus in germany he's currently receiving treatment at this hospital in munich in perth and

getting very good the patient is doing very well has no fever currently he has no more respiratory symptoms. when i visited him he was awake he could talk and i can therefore say that his life is not in danger of. health officials say the now isolated man contracted the virus from a chinese colleague at a company training event here in this building inched on back near munich he began showing symptoms at the weekend his chinese colleague had traveled to germany from shanghai where she reportedly had contact with people from the will hungry. the woman is now back in china where she tested positive for the virus herself. to sit in for months to receive this information yesterday and immediately informed the relevant authorities such as the public health department that i am from you and we also notified our employees and we made the information public.

health officials and the various said they were testing at least 40 people the 2 patients had had contact with their nieces left people in the area concerned. this is said you get scared by this for when something like this comes into our country on long time. but gemini's federal health minister says there's no reason for fia all panic. once would fall but i we're well prepared we will continue to be well prepared we take the virus very seriously but we must not become hysterical. there's no reason for excessive worry him. as a precaution the minister said he would go to allied pilots to pass on information about the health of all passengers coming from china and to keep the recollect if they contact in germany or from or who want to bring in william schaffner he is a professor for preventive medicine at vanderbilt university medical center in

nashville tennessee in the u.s. it's good to have you on the program i want to ask you how significant is it that we're talking about this kid this 1st case in germany being the 1st case of transmission from person to person outside of asia is that important yeah not good enough and can certainly is important this is big news because we know that this virus can be transmitted from person to person and although we have not had that sort of transmission yet in the united states it shows the potential of this virus establishing itself in other countries and i'm very pleased to hear that the the federal health authorities in germany are prepared for this and have this situation currently well and well how prepared are our cities in europe in your opinion because because you are in china we're talking about

a government that has the power to lock down cities of 101112 1000000 people in one decision that doesn't seem realistic here in europe does that worry you as a as a doctor. well quarantine is an issue that is of dubious effectiveness and the chinese are currently conducting an enormous public health experiment i don't think it would work very well in the united states either the issue is case identification and quick public health response around that case that's certainly our process and it sounds like what my friends in europe are doing also ok this is after stay with us when we come back to you in just a 2nd other than germany more than a dozen countries have confirmed cases of the virus in china the death toll has jumped to a 100 with more than $4500.00 cases confirmed a scientific study suggests that each infected person passes the virus on to 2 or 3

other people on average entire cities and as we mentioned already under quarantine and now the government has asked people to delay foreign travel so let's go back to mr sha'ath in nashville what is it then about this corona virus that appears to make it so easy to be spread. well it's spread just the same way that influenza is spread its or aspire atory virus it's in your lungs and your bunker hill tubes as you breathe out you also expel some virus that puts people in your immediate neighborhood 3 to 6 feet at some risk of breathing in the virus that you breezed out and so respond retore viruses can spread very very readily and we know that the clock is ticking for the development of a vaccine how soon do you think we can talk about a realistic vaccine against this strain. well at the national institutes of health

we were told just recently that it will take as you can understand a matter of months before a vaccine might be developed there's also research going on to try to get a therapeutic agent sort of an anti-viral drug that would help people who are already infected but that also will take several months ok we image software from vanderbilt university medical center in nashville tennessee is have to re freezing your insides tonight thank you. are we have some more breaking news coming in there are more cases of the karoly virus here in germany and apparently they are linked to the 1st reported case authorities in the southern german state of bavaria have just confirmed 3 more cases of coronavirus the health ministry in bavaria saying that the infections were directly connected to the 1st confirmed case in the country that case of course we reported on earlier in this

program. are moving on here in germany it's been a decade since the 1st case of child sex abuse in roman catholic institutions came to light the government commission responsible for dealing with it called today for more to be done to protect children although he acknowledged that much has already been done to confront the issue the catholic church has been really from the world wide accusations after an emergency summit a year ago in the vatican you may remember pope francis promised that abusers would be brought to justice but the groups say that the church is still not doing enough the catholic church here in germany has also come under fire for its response to the sexual abuse of children 10 years ago today it was revealed that students at an elite jesuit school here in berlin had been subjected to systematic abuse by their teachers the revelations sparked

a flood of claims against catholic institutions up and down the country but 10 years on many survivors of abuse in germany say they are still waiting for justice we start tonight with stories of 2 men abused as children in southern germany and a warning some viewers may find this report disturbing. it was in discharging back in southwest and any of the 2 men who had repeated the abuse by clerics when they were boys. was a few 3 times a week and 1900 times in total half and he was abused $400.00 times over 80. i get nightmares and wake up covered in sweat. and i have intestinal damage so i went to the doctor and she asked me if i had particular sexual practices that's when i told her my story. you know

why look this is telltale for me i see him in front of me very is abusing me and that feeling boy he stand no chance you can do anything against me i felt like i was at his mercy has. been. a half i don't get heart suffered still has an impact on the everyday lives. it's been. like this i'm not able to be in a relationship if i start a relationship the fear and panic attacks come back i feel that someone will try to control me again. trusting someone allowing them to get close that's very difficult like a half a mile persons of people came forward in germany alone a recent study showed that between 146 and 2014 more than $3600.00 children was sexually abused by more than $1000.00 clerics victims have come forward in other countries too and they want the church to acknowledge its response abilities

last year pope francis made a step in that direction when he spoke at the vatican conference on child sex abuse but it is only. these days we spoke to each other we listened to the voices of the victims who survived the crimes the youth has suffered church to enter the future with renewed courage we need to say like the prodigal son father i have sinned. for the church just paved the way to acknowledging the crimes but in germany extent of sex abuse by clerics and the process to compensate victims is too problematic for the victims to financial compensation currently offered simply isn't enough. when i think about 5000 euros for the approximately 400 times that i was abused that amounts to 101112 year as a time when you look at it that way i was

a cheap number for him. modest almost determined catholic church is now considering an extended investigation into the sex abuse cases an initiative that is supported by the german government in brazil that least 59 people have died in floods and landslides caused by heavy storms across the southeast of the country entire buildings have been washed away 30000 people have been displaced authorities are warning more rain is on the way 1st came the rain then came the mud and took everything they had it's and houses tumbling down hillsides bury them under landslides some were unable to flee. you know how many houses were hit here but the main ones are those where the victims are it was 2 different families one with 4 people and the other with 3 things from thursday to friday the metropolitan area off batteries on tests of the highest rainfall in over
