3:05 pm
other viruses this virus is the death rate is about 12 percent and that many effects people and normally they have to be have to have basic disease so it 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 they've said that you're too up to a year it would be reasonable or. realistic talk to have a vaccine the question is. if it's too late if you have a vaccine that about half a year or year is a moment worst total maybe to go back seen against all kind of coral know why this
3:06 pm
is i don't know if this is possible but that would be maybe a better better strategy instead of developing a vaccine to this is a specific strain which we don't know with affect us in the 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've seen some countries evacuating their citizens for example from rouhani 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 is it would be if i am told to get out of this area on the other side. flying with planes does this area. you have a risk for all the crew and the pilots. 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
3:07 pm
a risk to maybe. the 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. let's get a round up now of some the other stories making news around the world a powerful earthquake has struck in the western caribbean sea between cuba and jamaica shock waves sent people staggering into the streets the 7.7 magnitude quake was felt as far away as mexico and florida. 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 base jodi's on tape and president trumps a legal team has concluded its opening arguments in the impeachment trial with an appeal for the president to be swiftly acquitted trumps lawyers also try to marginalize former national security adviser john bolton his testimony if allowed
3:08 pm
by the senate could be incriminating for the president. meanwhile president trump has unveiled his long awaited peace plan for the middle east alongside israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu now under the proposal palestinians would gain statehood but they would also give up large tracts of land let's take a closer look at this 1st of all the current map of the region that's been released by the white house you see israel here in dark orange and you see the palestinian controlled territories the west bank and gaza here on the map in yellow so let's take a look at what donald trump calls his vision for peace his plan for peace in the middle east and as you can see here in this map it grants vast tracts of disputed land including of the jordan valley here to israel and these spots that you see are these controversial points it israeli settlements they would remain within palestinian torture territory now the palestinians would receive parcels of land that you see here marked in the south of the country but critically jerusalem would
3:09 pm
be the undivided capital of israel palestinian president mahmoud abbas has denounced the plan. 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 ness and you know he was formally charged with bribery and fraud but there was no mention of interest in his scandals at the white house. under this vision jerusalem will remain israel's undivided very important and divided 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
3:10 pm
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 in talk 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 after all that is i would like to say to trump and the who wanted to know that jerusalem is not for sale.
3:11 pm
well corn and all our rights are not for sale. but not for a bargain anymore your conspiracy of not. sure. 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 i can 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 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
3:12 pm
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 is correct and they are illegally occupied territories and it gives israel it gives the right wing of israel and the united states and the evangelical right when you christians and 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 well you said in an interview on t.v. that essentially israel does already claim or control all of this land already and that palestine essentially doesn't exist on the maps of does it not confirm the situation that arises so in my opinion let's thanked all will try. and for finally
3:13 pm
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 then bring everybody in 2 into one state and we'll call it call it is roll call of palestine to 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 in my opinion the only option the palestinians have is 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 and they should be responsible for all of the
3:14 pm
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 process actually actually hold western europe just as much responsible for what's happening does 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 the united states it's with the european union so what should germany of the european union living in to put their foot down and hit israel where it hurts to say there are costs there 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 i cram baker a political consultant who has worked closely with
3:15 pm
a palestinian leaders thank you for joining us and to give you. well the president of israel has addressed the german parliament here in berlin to mark 75 years since the liberation of the auschwitz extermination camp riven rivlin attended a special session of the bundestag 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 meet seen people are talking of racial purity there is racism and there is hatred of foreign as anti semitism. this ugly and extreme and to semitism which is rearing its head across the whole of europe. from the extreme right to the extreme left wing we are hearing these sentiments. we must not relax we
3:16 pm
must be aware of any of the killings of new anti-semitism racism intolerance people who hate muslims people who hate jews all of this is raising its head once again. john barack 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 book assad today on that well i think it's really interesting because usually this is 9 year commemoration of course usually the emphasis is on the past and then looking towards the future it's too hard to prevent future and i thought it was interesting that in both speeches the one by the way the german president. also by rivlin he was ready president the emphasis was very much on now not just on the past there's a very real rise documented rise of anti-semitism particularly among.
3:17 pm
white young males internationally. movements linked through the internet and so on and so there is a very real urgency in addressing the question well you mentioned the speech from the german president francois this time i let's listen to what he had to say on this topic. i wish i could say with conviction especially in the presence of our guests from israel but we germans have understood. the chemist as about 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. because 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 their menorahs. immuno barbers i don't women. you know so john as we saw there really there has
3:18 pm
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 the survivors the remaining survivors have those commemorations shifted in the way that we look back . when i think one was very aware now that 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 are we going to commemorate and remember which is very important for the future or that 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
3:19 pm
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 in and whether they want a 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 comer ations 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 did we will have to say about this plan well it was an interesting aspect he did 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. posed upon the palestinians
3:20 pm
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 palestinians 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 so i did have used john barrack with us here in studio thank you now the european parliament is preparing to vote today to ratify the terms of britain's divorce deal from the european union the historic vote will also be the last for the chambers 72 british members that will leave after takes place britain is due to officially leave the european union in 2 days' time and the debt is spoke to one british m.e.p.
