the hot tub solutions my name is on the top sheet on and i work in detail. the. last. place the to play play. this is due to a new slot from berlin a welcome for israel's president and a warning for the future israel's ruben rivlin addresses the border stock to commemorate the victims of the holocaust and calls for vigilance against resurgent anti-semitism. also coming up the country started back to eating their citizens from the chinese city at the heart of the corona virus outbreak and some airlines

are suspending their services to and from china. u.s. president trump unveils his mideast peace plan alongside the israeli prime minister in washington it would hand israel control of the more disputed territory one reason the palestinians mediately rejected it. and rising sea levels have started displacing millions of people in coastal areas we look at what's already happening in the philippines. i'm serious i was gonna thank you for joining us. israel's president has addressed the german parliament in berlin to mark 75 years since the liberation of the auschwitz death camp griffin rivlin attended a special session of the board to fog and an annual event to remember the victims of nazi germany he warned of the rise of anti-semitism in europe. today europe

is seeing once again the specter of the past. seems people are talking of racial purity there is racism there is hatred of foreign as anti semitism. this ugly and extreme and to semitism which is rearing its head across the whole of your of. from the extreme right to the extreme left wing we are hearing these sentiments. i mean we must not relax we must be aware of any beginnings of new anti-semitism racism intolerance people who hate muslims people who hate jews all of this is raising its head once again. w's john barrack follow the speeches in the bundestag and also the commemorations in auschwitz this week he's with us here in our studio hi john we heard there that there is this factor of rising anti-semitism across europe here in

germany what else did we hear in the but aside today on that well i think it's really interesting because usually this is national commemoration of course usually the emphasis is on the past and then looking towards the future too hard to prevent and symbolism future and i thought it was interesting that in both speeches the one by the the german president franco to steinmeyer and also by rivlin the president the emphasis was very much on now not just on the past there is a very real rise documented rise of anti-semitism particularly among. white young males internationally. the movements linked through the internet and so on and so there is a very real urgency in addressing the question now so you mentioned the speech from the german president by this time i let's listen to what he had to say on this topic even to this country i wish i could say with conviction especially in the

presence of our guests from israel that we germans have understood. the becoming as not how could i say that when hate and incitement are spreading when the poison of nationalism is again seeping into public discourse in germany as well. it's the kind of how could i say that when it's risky for someone to wear a yarmulke and and i haven't made this up jews hide them in nora's. for. you know john as we saw there really there has been a focus today as you were saying on anti-semitism in present day europe if you look at the commemorations however for the liberation of auschwitz the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the past few days the focus of the really on on the survivors the remaining survivors have those commemorations shifted in the way that we look back. when i think one was very aware of the survivors of course are all very

elderly and the 75th anniversary is probably the last major anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz which they are going to be able to attend and so the real concern at the moment of course is what is the how we going to how we're going to commemorate and remember which is very important for the future or is it what happened in auschwitz when these people are no longer among us the there was a shift i thought of emphasis to young people i was very moved by poignant speeches there were a couple of very poignant speeches by survivors at auschwitz saying in appeal to young people it's their world after all they're the ones the generation from x. to said who are going to have to decide what kind of world they want to live him and where they want to world that is anti semitic cool and xenophobia go where they want to fight for the for the values of of western civilization well i mean these

come commemorations we also heard the israeli president ruben rivlin commenting on the middle east peace plan that was presented by the u.s. president donald trump yesterday unveiled at the white house what it will have to say about this plan well it was an interesting aspect he devised he did die and he moved away from his main speech in a way i thought to talk about a current a very topical situation this peace plan he he seemed to be very optimistic about it possibly working although we know it's been already rejected by the palestinians and the fear is of course that it may be simply. just upon the palestinians whether they want to kill not rivlin one i have to say as a politician is somebody who believes in the greater israel not in the 2 in the 2 state solution he would be believes in a greater israel in which would have minority rights guaranteed to them that is a difference between the german position which has always been to support the 2

state solution and it's an interesting example i think of how it's possible to have a respectful and deep friendship as exists between germany and israel and nevertheless to disagree on the nuts and bolts of contemporary politics all right john barrack with us here in studio thank you. well as john was just mentioning there in a speech the israeli president referenced the new trump peace plan for the middle east at the white house when it was unveiled israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu welcomed the proposal as the deal of the century but palestinian president mahmoud abbas swiftly denounced the plan it calls for a palestinian state for the capital in east jerusalem but it grants israel control of disputed lands president trump and prime minister netanyahu pushing their international peace plan but they've both got troubles at home impeachment hearings against 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 either of those scandals at the white house. under this vision jerusalem will remain israel's undivided very important divided have. 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're 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 of this i would like to say to trump and the tanya who wanted to know that jerusalem is not for sale or. well portland all our rights are not for sale. but not for a bargain anymore your conspiracy. she. turned into if this new plan will need to move quickly israeli officials saying netanyahu plans to ask for cabinet approval on sunday to make the proposed new

quotas a reality. let's get some perspective on the story now we have baker with us he's a political consultant who has worked closely with palestinian leaders akram thank you for joining us here and i hear what you know what do you make of this peace plan how does it how much does it really shift the situation well it's not a peace plan it's an absolute abdication of all of our palestinian rights it is a deal done between. trump which just exemplifies the right wing extremist views that are propagate in the world today is that you said it's completely denouncing essentially a palestinian state but it does of course allow for palestinian land and a capital in east jerusalem no it doesn't it is 1st of all they're not disputed territories they are illegally occupied territories. as we heard the israeli prime minister who are correct and they are illegally occupied territories and it gives

israel and gives the right wing of israel and the united states and the evangelical right wing evangelical christians every single thing they want and it's giving the palestinians some vague promise of becoming a bantustan because that's exactly what they're getting if you look at that map it kind of looks like south africa in the 1970 s. and eighty's ok where you said in an interview on t w that essentially israel does already claim or control all of this land already and that palestine essentially doesn't exist on the maps it does not confirm the situation that arises so in my opinion let's thank the. trump for finally giving the death knell to the so-called peace process which i was involved with 30 years ago from 30 years ago till today we're talking about the same things israel controls all of palestine and all israel and the problem is that this is going to continue and if this is going to formalize it them bring everybody

in 2 into one state and we'll call it call it is roll call it palestine let it become a democratic state where there's 11 man one woman one vote donald trump has said he's open to negotiation so what options are there for palestinians at this point and not in my opinion the only option the palestinians have this and i've been calling on this for quite a while and maybe this is the time that they'll finally do it is to absolve to dissolve the palestinian authority it is nothing but a sham there should be no so-called security cooperation with israel israel rules that area they occupy that area they should be responsible for all of the palestinian people in the population living within these territories we cannot give them any more figleaves it's the only way to do this otherwise this is a fast track to war or genocide ok you'd say that would be the solution going forward how do you feel about the reactions that we saw from germany for example from europe fairly muted we did see the u.k.

say that they welcome any step towards a solution that means peace between israelis and the house in which i actually hold western europe just as much responsible for what's happening right as if they're just going to say oh we protest or it's mute or we're not going to do anything they are the ones who are perpetuating this israel's largest trading partners not only united states with the european union so what should germany there can you believe in you to put their foot out and hit israel weren't hers to say there are costs you have to be held have to be held accountable for their policies which are going against everything in the european constitution rights all right that's all we have time for at this moment ikram baker a political consultant who has worked closely with a palestinian leader's thank you for joining us here to give you. now to some other stories making headlines around the world president trump's legal team has concluded its opening arguments in the impeachment trial with an appeal for trump to be swiftly acquitted trump's lawyers also try to marginalize former national security adviser john bolton whose testimony should the senate allow it could be

incriminating for the president. britain's ambassador to the european union tim barrow has delivered a letter confirming britain's divorce from the e.u. he delivered that to the european council in brussels the european parliament is set to vote later to ratify the u.k. withdrawal agreement britain is set to officially leave the e.u. in 2 days and brazilian media say floods and landslides in the southeast of the country have now killed at least 59 people some 30000 people have been displaced a state of emergency has been declared in more than 100 cities and towns including the state capital but you know what he's on to. you're watching news still to come on our show we go to the philippines where climate change is forcing people to leave home as parts of the country sink beneath the sea. but 1st hundreds of foreign nationals are being evacuated from the chinese city of

on the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak more cases of the virus have been confirmed in china the death toll has risen to over one $130.00 australia says its citizens who are being brought home from china will be quarantined quarantined on an offshore island at 1st some airlines including british airways have suspended all flights to and from china. for 206 japanese workers based in this was they most welcome britain. a flight that brought medical supplies to the chinese province fighting to contain the coronavirus delivered them back to safety in japan the 1st of some 650 japanese citizens to be repatriated 100 soil i spoke of the situation they were thankful to leave behind. him sincerely relieved to have returned on this charter flight were difficult to travel but we were there it was

a worrying situation which was changing very quickly through. a strike the also plans to bring patch read the most vulnerable of it $600.00 nationals we will be standing up christmas all that is a quarantine area will be transported to christmas all and with all we will also be putting in place the met which will be travelling there to provide the medical support and that will be supplemented as is necessary by the defense support which can assist the united states and south korea also both working to move their citizens out of china as the international community mobilizes china is grinding to in these standstill in beijing the streets a deserted subway stations largely empty. if it's to set up a dedicated hospital go on around the clock a chinese national health commission says it expects the outbreak to continue spreading and reach a peak in 10 days' time. well here in germany authorities have confirmed 4 cases of

the coronavirus all 4 people are employees at the same auto supply company it's believed they fell ill after a seminar with a colleague from china the infected individuals have been quarantined in the hospital way they are receiving treatment meanwhile germany's health minister says there are plans to evacuate around 100 german nationals from by plane. and for that we need to be vigilant and prepared but we should maintain a proper sense of scale for example the 4 patients in germany are having just mild symptoms thank goodness we now have the genome sequence for the virus that was published on twitter and the 1st rapid test was developed here in berlin so gradually we're learning more about the virus and. ok let's get more on the story now we can speak to martin he's a viral exist at the lab for interdisciplinary medicine in frankfurt martin thank you for joining us here on t.w. we just heard the german health minister there say we have to be vigilant but we

also have to maintain a proper sense of scale so how worried should we actually be about this virus and how dangerous is it. actually it's a little difficult to explain or to estimate oh how dangerous in comparison to other viruses this virus is the death rate is about 20 percent and it may be affecting people and. they have to be have to have a basic disease so seems to be as dangerous as a strong influence on. ok what about efforts to stop the outbreak you know we've seen australian scientists saying they've created a lab version of the virus russia and china started working on a vaccine how fast realistically could we see a vaccine delivered to stop this outbreak. from from the point of view of these scientists as they did they said that year to year it would be reasonable or

. realistic though to have a vaccine the question is. if it's too late if you have a vaccine that about half a year or year or is it more so to maybe develop. scene against all kind of color on the viruses i don't know if this is possible but that would be maybe a better better strategy instead of developing a vaccine so this as a big strain which we don't know with affect us in helping year on year that is a long time to wait martin meanwhile we've seen measures that authorities are taking to try to contain this outbreak we see in some countries evacuating their citizens for example from which is the epicenter of this virus what do you think of those measures you know will that really help to prevent the spread of this virus even further. from the point of view of there was waiting in what it is it would be if i am told to get out of this area on the other side. flying with planes towards

this area. you have a risk for all the crew and the pilots to be infected as you heard you have to cover in time those people for at least 14 days maybe maybe even longer so it would be also a risk to maybe more infection into the home countries or something also to consider there. just at the lab for interdisciplinary medicine in frankfurt thank you for joining us on our program. yo. now this week d.w. is featuring a major new documentary on how the climate crisis is generating its own refugee crisis experts predict that the effects of climate change could force up to 1000000000 people to leave their homes this century one such effect is rising sea levels now they render low lying areas on inhabitable visited one community in the philippines that is slowly succumbing to the sea. is
