that his life is not in danger. health officials say the now isolated man contracted the virus from a chinese colleague at a company training event here in this building and down 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 wall hungry. the woman is now back in china where she tested positive for the virus has self. informants we received 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 in that area said they were testing at least 40 people the 2 patients had had contact with the niece has left people in the area consent. this

is you get scared by this with something like this comes into our country. but germany's federal health minister says there's no reason for fear or panic here . we are 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 sense of worry is that as a precaution the minister said he would order airline pilots to pass on information about the health of all passengers coming from china and to keep a record of their contacts in germany. emmanuelle shay's has is covering germany's efforts to stop the spread of the corona virus she said health checks are being put in place of the country's 5 major airports pilots are advised to warn airports ahead of landing should any passenger aboard show any

symptoms and the authorities as say that so far they fairly prepared even before those announcements about the new cases we sends us ises simulations and they will measures that had been reviewed before defense case was even detected here in germany now foreign affairs ministry also issued a travel warning the decision to repatriate 90 german nationals from to germany is to bending and of course one of the difficulties but it has said it says here is that it's difficult to differentiate the symptoms from those of a regular flu so older people in touch with that chinese woman have now been isolated it's about 40 people who are under our patient and that observation and. also as you say that no mahogany going to pick cautions like washing hands or a regular airing of rooms should be observed now most of the dozen countries have

confirmed cases of the virus in china have been more than $6000.00 infection so far and authorities report almost $10000.00 suspected cases scientific scientific studies suggest each infected person passes the virus on to 2 or 3 other people on average and cities across the country already under quarantine and now the chinese government has asked people to delay foreign travel. that will take a brief look at some other stories making news around the world. a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck in the western caribbean sea between cuba and jamaica shock waves sent people staggering into the streets and were felt as far away as mexico and florida. in peru a judge has ordered opposition leader keiko fujimori back to what he called a vent of detention for 15 months that's while investigators continue to probe allegations of money laundering against him or he denies wrong in had previously

president trump and prime minister netanyahu pushing their international peace plan but they've both got troubles at home impeachment hearings against trump a continuing in the senate and on tuesday yes and you know he was formally charged with bribery and fraud but there was no mention of interest there is scandals at the white house. under this vision jerusalem will remain israel's undivided very important undivided capital. but that's no big deal because i've already done that for you right. we've already done that but that's ok for too long far too long the very heart of the land of israel where our patriarchs prayed our prophets preached and our kings ruled has been outrageously branded as illegally occupied

territory well today mr president you are puncturing this big log. you are recognizing israel sovereignty over all the jewish communities in judea and samaria large and small alike. this is what donald trump says a future palestinian state could look like the map he tweeted chose palestinian areas into green but the west bank and gaza connected by a tunnel he said east jerusalem would be the capital of the state of palestine the palestinians have already made it clear this isn't a plan they're prepared to back or even hold on this i would like to say to trump and. wanted to know that jerusalem is not for sale. and all our rights are not for sale. and not for bargain. your conspiracy

deals who are not. if this new plan needs to move quickly israeli officials saying netanyahu plans to ask for cabinet approval on sunday to make the proposed new borders a reality. joining me from washington d.c. is the doubly correspondent oliver salad i all of a donald trump revealed his plan together with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu without the presence of palestinian representatives the palestinians are rejecting this deal so what trumps 2 state solution. well it's basically at the heart of his plan that so-called 2 state solution where the palestinians would get their own state as they say they have always called for jerusalem being the common capital as we just heard president trump speak but that would come at a very high price for the palestinian side so the israelis essentially would

maintain control of the contest at west bank settlements that are considered a breach of humanitarian right by critics and it's pretty obvious that president trump was taking sides here in the run up to those proposal and he's not hiding that he was he tweeted today that it will always stand by the jewish people and the state of israel so essentially really is singling out here israel and it's also interesting if you take a closer look at how to how that plan came together that was the game negotiated without the palestinians. or you have a 2 state solution with only one side included in the negotiations and therefore the response of the palestinian side came very quickly the palestinian president mahmoud abbas fiercely rebuked the plan talking about a conspiracy deal and he also said that jerusalem is not for sale and trump impeachment trial continues and said what does he hope to get from this middle east

peace plan domestically all right so he's under a lot of pressure told me with the ongoing impeachment trial that is continuing today and in particular here with the latest revelations of his former national security advisor john bolton and it's interesting to follow the presidential and gender and recent days and weeks he's been doing a lot of events in speeches and travels. in an effort to impress his voter base he's you talk to anti-abortionists for instance just very recently that's a presidential 1st he also attended the world economic forum in sweats. where he didn't go last year and now he unveiled that middle east peace plan which is also a very important point in the presidential agenda so one goal is pretty clear he's trying to distract from that impeachment trial but also let's not forget it's election year in the united states and we are just a week before the iowa caucuses
