i bring coffee it's good to have you with us more cases of the coronavirus have been confirmed here in germany doctors in the southern state of bavaria say that 3 people have now been infected bringing the total to 4 so far all of them apparently contract did the virus from a chinese visitor to a trade fair here in the country that is easier merged last month in china where it has already killed more than 100 people the announcement comes just hours after the 1st german case was confirmed today. it's believed to be the fest 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 sympathy and getting real good if the patient is doing very well he 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 and in fog. health officials say the now isolated man contracted the virus from a chinese colleague at a company training event here in this building in stanback 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 wu hungary. the woman is now back in china where she tested positive for the virus herself. in 4 months we received this information yesterday and immediately informed the relevant authorities such as the public health department from you and we also notified our employees and we made the information public extend. health officials in

bavaria said they were testing at least 40 people the 2 patients had had contact with the niece has left people in the area concerned. this is said you get scared but is right for when something like this comes into our country. but germany's federal health minister says there's no reason for fia all panic yeah it's good for why 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 is that 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 recollection of the contacts in germany so i'm joined now by my colleague of mine well sean she is following this story for us so we've got the 1st case confirmed in bavaria today

and they all 3 more and we're also hearing reports about a possible case here in berlin what more do we know. well what has been confirmed tonight by the very end herself are it is that indeed 3 more cases of the virus have been discovered they all are of the 3 persons are employees of the same company they took part 2 to same training they are being treated in the same unique hospital as the initial cases there in isolation so far germany is so far the only country outside of asia where the virus has spread past some to pass and today we. learned more about how the infection was spread from that a woman who was coming from china who wasn't living directly in one hand but in shanghai but before she came to germany she had been visited from her parents who came from and that's how she got infected but she infected but she didn't have any

symptoms while she or she was in germany so we find out we found out that the transmission of the virus was possible even during the in convention phase before any symptoms show it what exactly is being done here in germany to prevent the virus from spreading. well that cemetery check so people coming from definitely the areas in china in 5 airports in germany in munich can decide off in hamburg and of course in berlin said in a report pilots are advised to warn airports ahead of landing should any passenger aboard show any symptoms and the authorities say that so far they fairly prepared even before those announcements about the new cases was exercises simulations and the measures that had been reviewed before defense case was even detected here in germany now foreign affairs ministry also 6 issued

a travel warning the decision to repatriate 90 german nationals. to germany is to pending and of course one of the difficulties that it has 7 says here is that it's difficult to differentiate the symptoms from those of a regular flu so older people in touch with the chinese woman have now been isolated it's about 40 people who are in the operation and the observation and. also as you say that no mahogany pick cautions like washing hands or a regular airing of rooms should be observed ok my colleague of mine well she was on the story for us here in berlin tonight thank you thank you more than a dozen countries have confirmed cases of the corona virus in china there have been more than 4500 she says so far scientific studies suggest each infected person passes the virus on to 2 or 3 other people on average entire cities are already

under quarantine in china and now the chinese government has asked people to delay foreign travel. u.s. president on trial has unveiled his long awaited peace plan for the middle east it calls for a palestinian state with its capital in east jerusalem but it also grants israel control of disputed territories in the jordan valley a speaking alongside israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu today with no representative from the palestinians trunk described his proposal as the deal of the century my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risk 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 endure 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 and to the right that was earlier today we have team coverage of this announcement i'm joined by our correspondents john you 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 trump administration they wanted to move forward hoping that there will be enough pressure on the palestinian leadership to advance their plan to support its president promised to billions of dollars in international investment to establish a new palestinian entity he called on about to support the plan and what was also notably was that the worse we 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 general 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 truth is not for sale. and all our rights are not for sale very fair cannot solve bargaining for your conspiracy deal when not. tanya there we see right there the palestinian president rejecting this plan from the u.s. president saying it belongs into the trash bin of history and 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 post syrian president and he said

very clearly no to this so-called deal of the century and he made it very clear to send this is not to say oh our rights the palestinian rights as he said are not for sale so you can say that the plan proposes a contingent state full of the palestinians but only under certain conditions and also the issue of to roost limits is so important for the palestinians on the one hand the plan propose it that it's an undivided jerusalem which would remain under israeli control and they could be some part of easton to send them off east to a semicolon be in the future to the company but it's also not specified in which neighborhood that should be so this tolls very short of the idea i thought public stimulus of a viable independent and sovereign palestinian state in turn and we understand that

netanyahu plans to ask his cabinet to in divorce 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 in the uber 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 not this step loosing a palestinian state so there could be also some problems here for mr netanyahu

going at it this is. going to 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 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 shang way from solving 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 you as the christian evangelicals 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 briefly what about netanyahu he's stand to gain with this. well there has been a lot of talk of course in israel why this peace plan or at this deal of centuries released now just a couple of weeks before the next election so this is cutie seen as also as a house has been speculated as to how out of. 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 a 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. talking you kramer on the story for us in jerusalem to both of you thank you.

and up next indeed over your business news air bus agrees to settle a corruption probe the cost and fines could be sky high that story and more with rob wants right after the break we'll be right back. to it is prudent to give a considerable. amount in support. of. the group.
