as for all time to study the sound of fresh starts from hillary serving. w. home. this is d w news live from the corona virus is now in all mainland regions of china despite widespread lockdowns and public screenings the virus has been confirmed in to bat so all mainland provinces are now affected the world health organization is deciding whether to declare a global health emergency also coming up could this unassuming village become the

capital of a future palestinian state that's what might happen under president trump's middle east peace plan you will hear from residents who call the idea and nightmare that their dirty business of waste in kenya we will take you to the landfill that is a source of income for the poor but also provides rich pickings for criminal gangs it's said that the government's hands aren't clean either. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the world health organization is meeting to decide whether the spread of the corona virus amounts to a global health emergency 7800 people are now infected worldwide the great majority of them in china and 170 people have died there every province of mainland china now has at least one confirmed case. in many parts of china this is the

new normal very few people on the streets and the usually crowded public transport system all but empty like here in shanghai. every passenger is stopped. and every passenger 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. one week after these drastic measures were introduced the numbers of infected still keep climbing up people are anxious they prefer to stay at home and not to go out on the streets or wear a mask when they go out on the streets this here is a major tourist destination usually this area is quite busy with people walking

around having snacks sightseeing now people prefer staying at home nobody really knows whether the measures the government has taken will be able to contain the virus so people are taking their own measures of precaution and that means minimizing social contact as much as they can elsewhere a lack of basic necessities and information are eroding confidence in the all thirty's in hong kong people have been queuing since 2 am hoping to buy face masks warning the hong kong other men 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 how was the money you how dull your momma. as a 2nd planeload of a repatriated japanese nationals touchdown in tokyo because some to wonder what this type of outbreak could look like if it happened during the olympics here in july. we might take it as

a wake up call for us to take precautions against an outbreak like this especially to what the olympics will i am like yes to plan is naive i think japan should step up meshes. pick. in south korea the government is building a containment facility for those infected people here feel for the safety. of the what they give 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 would you 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. and let's bring in now dr said he is a molecular biologist at northumbria university and he joins me now from newcastle

in england welcome to the program sir thank you so much for joining us i'd like to begin by asking you because we know that china is implementing strict measures multiple countries now evacuating their citizens from affected areas is this the right approach to stop the virus from spreading. in my humble opinion someone who's worked or not break responses in the past i think this is correct one has taken mind about the chinese political system and social system is very different to what we're used in the west and what the chinese are doing is implementing a top down approach to make sure transmission is contained as much as possible on top of out what the developed nations around the world are doing repub treating the . nationals is also correct in that they come to look after their nationals in the best possible way my humble opinion again is that the measures taken by the australian are actually the. best along on.

pension leave affected with a virus or potentially exposed with a virus in their region away from the mainland and more importantly for the period of time we know that the virus may incubate up to 2 weeks so that that way they minimize the chance of a local tradition so i'll talk about this a little bit more about the spread because now we have the 1st cases reported and the philippines and in india of course these are densely populated countries how worrying is that in trying to contain the spread of this virus. it's not it's not good news you imply the developing countries are known for not having the necessary infrastructure systems to look after the patients and we have to add on top of the social parameters answerable logical parameters that come into play so for example we know there's a lot of superstition and there's a lot of other kinds of problems in the communication misunderstanding not to

mention the fake news which comes into play with these people will respond to the arrival of the virus i think the onus is on us in the developed nations to step in and help them as we've done in the past with ebola in west africa and make sure this doesn't get out of hand. how dangerous is this virus i mean because a lot of people are really concerned there's a lot of worried out there worry out there compare it for example to the common flu . yes that's the best possible comparison as far as i'm concerned because common flu transmits through. those this virus now the major difference is on lethality the flu virus in the united states right now this year. killed 7 percent of the people who have been diagnosed with it by contrast the data from mainland china suggests about 3 percent of people dying from corona virus so we could say roughly speaking this corona virus outbreak is twice less lethal. the.

other side to this problem however is that the corona virus is much more likely to give you severe respiratory symptoms so these are the level of breathlessness on incapacity to breathe that would require hospitalization and the data from china so just one in 5 people that will. get the virus develop symptoms will actually require medical attention in the host so one has to bear in mind however that we're talking about chinese people and how the populations around the world will respond to the infection is anyone's guess dr. molecular biologist at northumbria university in newcastle england thank you so much. you're very welcome. well a cruise ship is on lockdown off the coast of italy over 2 suspected cases of the

coronavirus that have been onboard some more than 6000 people are on this vessel which is now at a port near rome local authorities say that samples have been taken from a chinese couple and sent for testing one of them had feverish them. while it's going to journalists gupta who's standing by for us in rome so sima what more can you tell us about this chinese couple. well what we do know is a statement that was given to us by the acosta cruises now that's the company that's running the last us miralda cruise ship that we now know he said to a 54 year old woman from but cow is said to have developed soon like symptoms she's supposed to have a fever and as such she has been taken a pots we need from the rest of the people on the cruise as well as her husband that she was traveling with them she was said to have traveled from hong kong to milan arriving in milan on the 25th of january the dent traveled to stillborn not

where they then boarded this who ship together with some $300.00 or so at the chinese nationals that there are supposed to be about $751.00 chinese nationals on this ship and the ship did already travel to my saying to us alone not as well as to part might that might your current speed before arriving to come back yeah which is some 60 kilometers or so from roll now we do know that 3 doctors and nurses from the hospital invoke that specializes in infectious diseases have traveled to the ship and taken samples from bulls this woman as well as her husband and the are conducting tests to see where it is indeed that corona virus or not but in the meantime as you mentioned the people on board this ship some 6000 all sorts there as well as the crew members they're all on lockdown and the woman in question as well as i was but is not displaying any symptoms they have been quarantined on the ship is as well sima gupta in rome for us thank you.

a look at one of the most controversial suggestions outlined in trump's middle east peace plan the future of jerusalem it's a city with many names known as the lime in hebrew could see an arabic and for many simply as the holy city jerusalem hosts religious sites key to islam judaism and christianity and it carries huge religious emotional and political significance for israelis and palestinians now both sides claim this 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 east jerusalem becoming the capital of a future palestinian state but trump has a different vision he already recognized through slim as the capital of israel in 2017 and his plan effectively hands over control of the entire city to the jewish state what would be left of the palestinians is 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 eastward residents can see jerusalem's old city just 2 kilometers away. out of his village but he dismisses trump's proposal to make it the capital of a future palestinian state. with these is. the mayor says it 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 use is poor. there are few jobs for young people. the only bright spot is the al could soon a 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 in everyone's mind. and i think there's always the possibility of a compromise even in this conflict. but it shouldn't be the palestinians who are always having to make concessions. this is being al that generation it's. just give it up. 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 there is only one of the other 2 pieces fall in that is negotiations that of. welcome to the new where the global trash business has become a multimillion dollar venture 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 are charged in the illegal security and offloading fee of $5.00 to $7.00 every time they enter. when you cover that's when you pay everything at the gate. not only

a critical juncture only 14 percent of the population in germany think the catholic church is credible sites you kept order secure. the scandals about sexual abuse in the church of raise the pressure to make major changes to catholic teachings. congregants have a number of complaints and proposals. there can be no progress without change. the church needs to question many of its dogmas and perhaps abandon them like the off question it's really brought celibacy should be abolished the christ never required that it's nowhere in the bible. 6 was hostility to sex it's for generations the church has robbed people of happiness in their youth and in marriage. to put it to see if women must play a greater role in the church without women i wouldn't be any church. their families

a says women should be allowed to fulfill all the functions that men do in the church establishment she says it's a matter of fairness and a way to transform the very male view of the world but prevails among catholic clergy men deal even when they are living in a bubble because they often only register what they as men experience and have no idea how women see things what's more they are all unmarried celibate that means they are living in a world that is very remote from my world from the world of women to fall short it is. the debate about change pits modernizes against those who feel they have to defend over doxie the traditional teachings of the church. the earlier efforts a change of often led to nothing this stuff can be fun to sit it mustn't just pretend to do with the issues that would be a disaster we've had so many events over the years and decades or at the end many
