the boat . this is deja vu news live from berlin the number of cases of the coronavirus in china increases the world health organization says all countries now need to be on alert to find out about the extraordinary steps being taken to prevent the spread of the evidence. under america's new plan for mideast peace this village is supposed to be the capital of a future palestinian state we hear from residents who call the idea a nightmare. is also coming up time to say goodbye. to.

abiola was. told a rare moment of emotion of the european parliament after along with lawmakers voted confirmed the u. case apart from the e.u. on friday. plus the dirty business of waste in kenya will take you to the landfill that's a source of income for the poor but also provides rich pickings for criminal get it's alleged the government's hands are clean i. am sumi so much god it's good to have you with us. the world health organization is meeting today to decide whether the spread of the corona virus amounts to a global health emergency 7800 people are now infected worldwide at the vast majority of them in china the number killed there by the virus has hit 170.

in many parts of china this is the new normal there a few people on the streets and the usually crowded public transport system old but empty like here in shanghai. every passenger is stopped. and if we pass and just screened for signs of the coronavirus. high quality i think it's fine temperature was taken both getting on and off the train everyone has a mask on i feel relieved. it might look like a country grinding to a halt but this is china's response to a mass public health emergency. session like it was the government can cure the virus this time the infected cases are increasing these days as well as the number of deaths but i still trust the government and that's why this hasn't got out of. elsewhere a lack of basic necessities and information a roading confidence in the author artes in hong kong people have been queuing

since 2 am hoping to buy face masks warning the hong kong government should do like macos and say every resident can only buy 10 pieces that way every single hong kong person could have a face mask to wear right. as a 2nd plane load of repatriated japanese nationals touched down in tokyo because some to wonder what this type of outbreak could look like if it happened during the olympics here in july. we take it as a wakeup call for us to take precautions against an outbreak like this especially towards the olympics. like i'm like yes to pan is naive i think japan should step up meshes. in south korea the government is building a containment facility for those infected people here feel for their safety. to the what they get the governor and minister should come here and try to find

a point of compromise. what are they doing of bringing troops here are we to battle this is such nonsense. they're really creating a mood of fear who would be who would be. in south korea as in many other countries some residents feel the government's response to the crisis has lacked the apparent intensity and clarity of china's. part let's get some analysis on the story now we can speak to just in jones from the university of reading in england good to have you here on d w i would ask you about the raft of measures that we've seen countries take to try to contain this outbreak multiple countries evacuating their citizens from affected areas we see in china shutting down or locking down entire cities is this the right approach to stop this from spreading. it's the right approach at the current time time will tell whether or not it's been effective in either stopping or slowing the progress of the virus i think as the numbers continue to rise it looks increasingly

like a likely that this will become a pandemic and will eventually spread around the world. we've seen as you said this is spreading we see in 1st cases reported in the philippines in india these are densely populated countries and how worrying is that to you if we look at our for its now to try to contain the spread of. yes it is worrying for 2 distinct reasons one is as you say these are very dense populations so the opportunity for transmission among people is much higher than it would be in a local population density country but in addition to that these are areas of the world which also have quite a high burden over a spirit tree disease particularly things like tb and until the virus gets there we really don't know what to expect in terms of the severity of the infection in those target populations. in you said this could become a pandemic how dangerous is this virus in comparison to other diseases other

outbreaks we've seen like sars in 2003 for example. it's certainly less much less serious than saw as the case fatality rate facades around about 10 percent currently this is running at around 2 percent that is still pretty high it would have that number it would be almost like the spanish influenza or the early onset last century however if it's true that there are many more infected people than the confirmed cases then the actual fatality rate is somewhat lower than that and more like a seasonal influenza which perhaps could be coped with more easily by the existing health resources. the world health organization is set to decide today whether they should declare this a global health emergency should they do so i mean what would that change. you know whether they should do so or not depends on them and the dates of that they have at hand which i don't have i would guess perhaps that on this occasion

they didn't on the last occasion but on this occasion they will consider a sick local health emergency this being sufficient spread internationally i think and what that would do is just mobilize morris' all says with alerts various country boundaries and maybe alert healthcare systems that they need to put mitigation processes in place already in jones seeking to assess from the university of reading in england thank you for your insight. meanwhile a cruise ship is on lockdown off the coast of italy over 2 suspected cases of the coronavirus on board more than $6000.00 people are on the special which is now at a porch near rome local health authorities say samples have been taken from a chinese couple and center for testing one of them was showing symptoms of a fever. let's get a round of now of some of the other stories making news around the world police in

india have arrested a man who fired a shot during citizenship law protests in new delhi wounding one person the incident occurred outside a university where protesters have been gathering the new law has sparked widespread demonstrations in india where critics say it discriminates against muslims. the white house is seeking to block the publication of a book by former u.s. national security advisor john bolton saying it contains top secret information the book reportedly alleges that u.s. president trump demanded ukraine investigate a political rival in exchange for military aid and that could undermine trump's defense in his impeachment trial. and germany's biggest lender deutsche bank has posted a loss of 5700000000 euros for 2019 it's the bank's 5th annual loss in a row and its 2nd worst ever result bank says the loss was driven by the costs of a massive restructuring program. now israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has arrived in moscow for talks with russian president vladimir putin the leaders are

expected to discuss u.s. president trump's controversial peace plan for israelis and palestinians the plan would give israel the green light to annex parts of the contentious west bank it also grants israel virtually all of east jerusalem which palestinians want to claim as the capital of any future state the u.s. plan is widely seen as supportive of israeli goals in the region while ignoring the key demands of palestinians. let's get more on the story now. standing by in moscow covering this for us hi yuri do you have any indication of what russia's position is on this proposed peace plan. well the kremlin has many times expressed its concerns that washington species deal my to blow up the region especially given the fact that in the united states which are doing everything on the on the it's own from the russian point of view but ever since the u.s. plan plan for israel was published the reactions from moscow have become more coaches

russian foreign minister lavrov for example has expressed his of course traditional fiesta that the united states would trying to solve all problems in one fell swoop but at the same time it's interesting mr lavrov also sad that it would be necessary to consider the reaction of what he called a list stein's arab friends of the arab league for example as well as all of the international mediators in the conflict like the u.s. and russia as he has and views and is that sunni sounds like russia is prepared for coordination and pushing for peace in the middle east how much influence does president putin have on the israeli prime minister. i think that on the i was sneaking with putin today is more of a symbolic step it will likely not actually change the new house policy in any way but the meeting will be a nice political bonus for to tell you how to show off to his voters as well as it

to the united states despite the fact that mr netanyahu is a frequent visitor to russia despite the fact that there the 2 countries closely coordinated their military actions in the middle east including in syria when it comes to the israeli palestinian peace process has been always emphasizing that he's a position would be independent from moscow for example israel has refused moscow's repeated offers to host a meeting between mr mr yahoo and palestinian president mahmoud abbas and russia after all for they meet putin visit is very welcome for all of the same reason as for the israeli prime minister the russian president has a chance to play his favorite role as a peacemaker and mediator at least for this time maybe more symbolically did have these yuri reset a reporting for us from moscow thank you very much. well let's take a look now at a one of a controversial suggestions outlined in donald trump's mideast plan the future of

jerusalem it's a city with many names known as you. could say in arabic and from many simply as the holy city jerusalem hosts religious sites that are key to islam to judaism and to christianity and it carries huge religious emotional and political significance for israelis and palestinians will both sides claim the city as their capital and many analysts believe that solving the jerusalem question is key to any future peace deal in the region previous plans have called for a shared city with becoming the capital of a future palestinian state but trump has a different vision kill ready recognized as the capital of israel in 2017 and this plan affectively hands over control of the entire city to the jewish state so what would be left for the palestinians is a potential capital on the eastern outskirts of jerusalem likely in a village called. this concrete wall blocks the view

of the real dome of the rock for people living behind it in. israel built the wall in the early 2000 at the height of the 2nd palestinian intifada. since then has been cut off from jerusalem this is one of the few spots and i. can see jerusalem's old city just 2 kilometers away. this part of his village but he dismisses trumps proposal to make it the capital of the future palestinian state. the mayor says was discussed as a possible capital back in the 1990 s. when there was hope of peace and no walls yasser arafat's even commissioned this building for a future parliament. today i would he says pour. there are few jobs

for young people. the only bright spot is the hour could sooner versity. the school has a solid reputation and some 14000 young people from across the west bank study here mahmoud in m r are both studying medicine exams are coming up but right now it's trumps peace plan that's on everyone's mind. either because if you have. been i think there's always the possibility of a compromise even in this conflict. but it shouldn't be the palestinians who will always having to make concessions. this has been al that for generations of you can't just give it up you know. but the students are also critical of their own leaders they say of course trump is only concerned about israel's well being but they say it's also not right that there haven't been any direct talks between israel and the palestinians since 2014 that there is only one path to peace well in

that he's going to see a chanson of the land welcome to the new capital of palestine that's the tongue in cheek greeting at. shop they say here that humor is more useful than hope and that no palestinian was really expecting peace from a plan put forward by donald trump. be given this is only one basis for legitimate based talks an independent international committee. under trump's plan this border wall would separate the 2 capitals the u.s. president calls it a vision people here call it a nightmare. a leading figure in germany's far right party is being investigated for tax evasion after lawmakers lifted his parliamentary immunity the 78 year old is one of the most prominent figures in the populist alternative for germany party and he was co-leader of the party until late last

year prosecutors say the investigation into tax affairs will include a search of his private premises. our political correspondent tracking all the latest details on this story for us hi hans tax evasion is what suspected here what is gulen supposed to have done well this concerns his personal tax affairs we have to say that it has nothing to do with the tax affairs of his political party which in fact also being questioned but in his personal taxes it concerns the fact that he has been married for many years to a woman that he actually does not live with that he's separated from he has another partner that he live with and they seem to be some irregularities in the way he has declared income from this wife on paper as it were as well as his income from various parliamentary jobs that he's had over the years his personal premises his home here in the a bill and possibly also another home that he has in frankfurt in the city of

frankfurt have according to reports been searched today and there is a possibility that awkward documents have been seized but his political party the f.t.c. says that all of this concerns a sum of less than $10000.00 euros somewhere around a few 1000 euros so not a huge amount they regard as excessive and full of harassment. tell us more about who alexander galland is how important he is for the alternative for germany party . well this man is actually 78 years old but he still remains probably the most influential politician in the party he's very recognizable because it tends to wear tweed jackets and try to present himself as someone from the british landed gentry as it were that some kind of nostalgia for maybe for royalty or something like that but in the background he's really very very influential in that party he's one of the most important thinkers in the party he's someone who also laws for the way for

the far right to neo nazi aspects of the party as entry leader one of the 2 parliamentary leaders he's in the front row literally. in parliament which has given the quality of very prominent position in parliament and a very destructive position in problem so the fact that he is now being investigated for tax to mean those although it's not something. that concerns a large sum certainly is very embarrassing for him and for his party our political correspondent reporting for us to talk to you you're watching news still to come on our show digging up dirt on the garbage industry kenya these are how the government's hands are alleged to be far from clean when it comes to waste disposal in the capital nairobi. but 1st tomorrow the u.k. will officially leaves the european union and that will kick off an 11 month

a multimillion dollar venture the people here try to and a few dollars a day picking and selling waste to make ends meet it's a dangerous place like gangs and can tell rule with violence. it's every man old boy for themselves says 12 year old grey cheese binds on monday he's scared of the older boys and men who tried to steal the waste others have collected. just yesterday ritchie himself was attacked traumatizing experience. for suckers mind you locked me up inside a truck it was about 7 in the morning he may have been struck by the double he beat me up until 10 o'clock that evening. into may be government owned and looks like a mess but this place is highly organized with every inch tightly controlled by gangs. but it's not only the scavengers who have to follow the rules

hundreds of truck drivers and charged in the legal security and off loading fee of $5.00 to $7.00 every time they enter. your duty when you come in that's when you pay everything at the gate. not only was it in daraa dumpsite. was supposed to close down years ago but it's also become a magnet for violence and going to snow. so why has no robey stress gold-mine been allowed to continue existing for so long. one of the so-called dumpsite lords was part of a lethal takeover in which at least 14 people died and agreed to speak to us but on the condition of anonymity he says it's the prospect of money that has kept the side running but that it's not the gangs who make the serious money rather it's those who have a ons into the garbage patel's networks of private companies and subcontractors

that owned a multi-million dollar government tenders to manage the waste. there are the cartels or those powerful people if you open the speak about the dealings they're involved in you're in danger. they all hide how they make their money but they are in attendance. narrow because governor mike song called and other senior county officials have been accused of irregular payments for garbage collection services amounting to $3500000.00 and having received bribes. since the law forbids officials from discussing cases which are before court we asked them to comment on corruption surrounding tend towards in general. it is a serious problem because it involves money. because it is the private companies that are doing business with government that part of the coverage of this

problem. the county department in charge of awarding the garbage contract declined to talk to us for this report. deep in the downside is finally full time to go away in the pickings of the day. to day ritchie has collected 5 kilograms of plastic he is going home but $75.00 shillings that's less than one u.s. dollar. tomorrow he'll be back. now anticipation is already growing for this year's ballet nala the 70th edition of the film festival it all starts on february 20th and preparations are well underway in the german capital it will be the 1st festival under the direction of new hands. and maria to rescind the hundreds of movies from around the world will be screened including the italian drama hidden away in the film as one of 18 to win the coveted
