are among those urging citizens to avoid non-urgent trips to that country this is the world health organization declares the outbreak a global health emergency triggering tighter containment and better information sharing among global health officials. red alert at the world's airports from los angeles travel to destinations like shanghai is no longer possible as the u.s. has told its citizens not to travel to china medical authorities are working desperately to prevent the corona virus spreading further now the world health organization has taken a strong stance the emergency committee hold most to unanimously concluded the. corone a virus outbreak is a public health emergency of international concern. that because of an increasing number of cases of person to person transmission outside china like in the u.s. midwest and city of chicago doctors are reporting the country's 1st case of one

person infecting another with the virus on american soil are newly confirmed patient is a man in his sixty's as you heard the husband of our 1st confirmed case he is also currently hospitalized and in stable condition the risks posed by the corona virus mean authorities have been taking drastic measures to prevent it spread like locking down this cruise ship in italy with thousands aboard because 2 passengers showed flu like symptoms they tested negative for the new virus. my duty has been to adopt necessary measures because i'm responsible for my citizens and their health. and that's the strategy being adopted by authorities in many countries like here in spain strict quarantines at this military hospital are planned for spaniards returning from china the hope is that secure facilities like this one can keep. this outbreak under control. let's get more on the outbreak now

with stereos mafiosos of c. a professor and cellular and molecular sciences at north korea university thanks so much for coming in for us this morning and what does this global declaration mean especially for global containment efforts. and this declaration is a result of very careful discussions very high level of w.h.o. the purpose of this is to unlock resources and collaboration on a global scale so about countries that haven't got the necessary health care systems are able to treat individuals that have symptoms and possibly the infection of corner virus in their territory ok what about the global containment efforts professor in terms of getting everyone on board how does that work show i will. used the words of the professor who chairing the

show he take this is not an event where we need to to be telling people to stop travel the mainland china but we need to understand he has been into china he knows inside out what the situation is and yet he saying we must not stop international problem on the other hand i do understand the governments around the world need to be seen to be doing something in order to protect the population my personal question. my own personal opinion is whether or not mining travel is the correct answer if the high level experts at the w.h.o. think that this is not the case then the question needs to be asked where should be centric i think it we're talking about resource investment here we're not talking

about probably it's ok in your opinion is it safe to travel and if people do should they be wearing face masks. in the sars outbreak the use of face masks was located as a very useful tool for the face mask will actually stop. large particles of sunlight all for the liquid but lives our lungs from being and expectorated when we cough if you have all the symptoms of coughing then it is likely that the mask will catch those particles and therefore prevent the transmission as easily to other individuals whether the mask itself can protect the person wearing it from inbound virus i'm not convinced many people are not convinced in the community i don't think we have the data to be making a clear statement the recommendation is to out these masks are to be used because

it has been useful in the past and therefore one has to say yes it's a good idea to be wary those must. say thanks so much for coming and thanks so much for these these insights an opinion dr sturge rose a motion us from north korea university thanks very much and you. will meanwhile in china the lunar new year holiday was supposed to come to an end instead has been extended with travel restrictions and lock downs in many cities across the country remaining in place the vast majority of the nearly 10000 thrown a virus cases are in china's who are problems and of course the city of the epicenter of the outbreak people there are still on high alert. on the border with hu bay province where the virus passed a managed few are braving the streets many shops are closed and town centers

deserted residents are cautious watching this i mean to normally i don't want to go around but today i feel that i've been home for quite a few days so i went out to get some sunshine and her 1st short walk in the small area but i didn't go too far and then. top utilize or to do the normally this time of year a lot of people come here you know now there's nobody. normally there are at least a few 1000 people walking about here the latest figures from chinese health authorities share the number of cases are rising nearly 10000 people are infected in the country and over 200 people have died. under several airline suspend services in and out of china governments have started flying the citizens out of the city who han the center of the crisis. today my government told me i have to go to the airport i think it will be made to small mental check from the chinese

government i'm not sure that i think i will like germany and after this i will be isolated. for 2 weeks food hands locals life goes on but what ever present precautions i know you can undergo. let's get you briefed on some of the other stories making the news today the u.s. senate and set to vote on additional witnesses today and president from some piece from trial democrats are pushing for further testimony including that of former national security adviser john bolton but if the senate leadership gets its way the trial could end with a quick acquittals with this list. palestinian protesters have clashed with israeli security forces in the west bank as demonstrations against a controversial u.s. peace plan continue palestinian leaders of strongly rejected president drum's peace plan which would give israel key parts of the occupied west bank australian

officials have declared a state of emergency for the capital city canberra and the surrounding regions that is soaring temperatures and strong winds threaten to worsen a large bushfire burning out of control it's the 1st state of emergency in the capital since fatal wildfires some 2 decades ago. well today is brecht's a day in the e.u. capital brussels is preparing to bid farewell to britain in 17 hours time now the u.k. will formally leave the european union on the eve of the ukase exit the buildings in the city's main square were lit up in the colors of the british flag celebrating a long friendship with the british people the u.k. will officially leave at 11 pm local time this friday evening but rather than the and it's just the beginning with a year of post threats of those nations to come. or break that analyst rob a mug joins us now in the studio good day to you probably the u.k.

officially leaving the at the stroke of midnight in london what's going to change well not that much actually knisley i mean the sky isn't going to cave in over many people will have that feeling i suppose but as of february 1st as of tomorrow we're into the transitional phase for 11 months and during that time the u.k. actually does remain part of the e.u. single markets in the customs union has to pay into the budget has to essentially still follow the guidelines and rules but has no policy in actually shaping of forming them so within this eleventh's period where both sides are going to try and hammer out say free trade deal people won't notice that much of difference in terms of the rights that supports here enjoy and you nationals in the u.k. enjoy so up until the beginning of 2021 things stay as they were they say is they

were until they if they can reach a deal within the 11 month period before the end of the year then obviously then those changes will kick in but essentially the only real change is legal and constitutional article 50 which determines the withdrawal agreement is now irreversible you know the divorce has been set. the only way to get around that would be if the u.k. were to apply to rejoin again and not possible longer this leadership on our prime minister board that i very much to have said ok all right well we went to london to ask people there for their thoughts as britain leaves the e.u. after 47 years of membership let's take a look at that. sovereignty back and have a lot more control i think that's the one thing that's what we're really going to get from at the moment we're very disappointed that. you know where we're being followed while the country has been you know misled into this decision so

it's a sad time there's nothing we can control sadly about so it's done so i think we need to try and be forward and see what happens to our best of it we'd better destroy it sort of shows that should really really go it's been a long time and it's been very bitter and i think you know you have to move on and i think everybody is going to try and do that you know from the government to all sorts of institutions it's a thing is cross fingers crossed rob it sounds like a people are except in bracks and we heard that woman saying you know there's a desire to move on is that a widely held sentiment of people now move i think so because you know it's been on it's been 3 inhofe years of more oil and almost torture and i think people have reached that stage of apathy even and do want to move on although we shouldn't kid ourselves that the period now the negotiation period. is going to be anything but

a walk in the park i think. actually starts now let's put it outward from from what we heard there from london sounds like the people are going to back off they're going to leave it to the negotiators the politicians now to move forward with the bracks a process you think that that's the case. well i think that's the only thing they can really to mean i'm sure that there will be over the coming months we'll see maybe more protests if things don't go in the way that many people would like things to move but i think it really is down the gushing seams of both sides really gets down to the nitty gritty i think talks are supposed to start on march 3rd and boris johnson has a very ambitious goal of trying to sort things out by the end of this year ok well the path of bragg's that brought us to today has been a long and often rocky one let's take

a look at that they are just be introduced to provide different in our 2 referendum on membership of the european union before the end of 2017. that single sentence from the queen's speech set off a process that would disrupt e.u. politics for years. david cameron prime minister at the time introduced the referendum he didn't want britain to leave the e.u. would all he wanted to bring his party's many critics into line a month long campaign followed that hardliners especially nigel farage and boris johnson sought to turn public opinion against europe with aggressive slogans and as would later become clear lines. the date of the referendum was june 23rd 2016 and the day after. this means that the u.k. has voted to leave the european union. in august during.

the run up to. prime minister cameron resigned and tourism a took over as boss at 10 downing street. president potent and brags that supporters were irreconcilable the new prime minister tried to make the best of it . bricks it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it march 29th 2019 was set as the braggs a date but it was still a long way off. negotiations dragged on for more than a year. then may and her e.u. counterparts signed the bracks a deal. the problem was may was unable to get parliamentary backing for it so they're no use having the news having. twice may had to ask the e.u. for a postponement of britain's leave date breck's it became breck's tension and may

ultimately resigned. boris johnson became her successor the bracks champion from the very outset. but even he failed several times at 1st because of opposition in parliament and the bracks a date had to be postponed once more the prime minister made a gamble early elections his strategy worked. boris johnson's conservatives won an absolute majority with this bag and this majority we will at last be able to do what. was there your tension now after years of political tug of war nothing else stands in the way of britain's departure from the european union. ok it is just hours to go down until that happens and after it does negotiations between london brussels will start in

short order and there's already looks to be a bitter fight over fishing rights in the atlantic it's an issue that played relations raw back in the 1970 s. absi is it as if the last 47 years didn't happen we're back to the 1970 s. your fishing rights exactly i mean for the past 47 years they've been part of the common fisheries policy which granted access to each other's waters but the the british fishermen the industry always felt hard done by they always felt that the fishes were infringing on their rights taking away their fish so it's always there in the issue of pride and you know to be fair the coastal waters off britain are richer in terms of the fishing grounds so there gripes may be understandable to this extent but i think we'll have to see we'll probably see some of the quid pro quo on that the e.u. side might say you need to continue granting us access to your waters and in return

we will you know give you some leeway in terms of the service services industry which is a key part of it is the british economy it is services industry london very important that this is also part of after they get fishing out of the way the comprehensive deal that boris johnson wants us that's his ambitious goal to to come to some sort of order in compas a deal by the end of the year but i think that really is wishful thinking i think they'll probably concentrate initially on a bare bones deal that looks at trade in goods. then if that goes smoothly then they can turn to the issues of security and safety asian education travel movement that sort of all those that we are very difficult to say and if we put into perspective i mean the seated deal the deal is really in canada took 10 years so we got her she hates well we'll have to streamline the process of the house isn't that i love and months rob budge thanks so much our friends at alice
