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. whole mostly unanimously concluded the. coroner virus outbreak is a public health emergency of international concern. that's 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 of board because 2 passengers showed flu like symptoms they tested negative for the new virus. my duty has been to adopt the 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 the virus at bay. and we can speak now to martin. just at the lab for interdisciplinary medicine in frankfurt marking thank you for joining us the w.h.o. has declared a global health emergency what does this mean for containment efforts. before

yesterday many states did their containment efforts on their home alone we don't do that in a more structured way so they give the measurements the measures they say got to do and most of the other countries can follow these recommendations and so we have a more starch a lot more anymore a single. ok so it's a more coordinated approach to tackling this outbreak martin what have we learned since this outbreak began about this virus and how it spreads. spread. draw. the patients. in these news or when the car has come out of the body and the carrying the wires to the office are on the. door and also whatever you can imagine and other people who just these knobs the contain . a contagious part of the with carrying the virus they will infect themselves and

by carrying the hand in their face and the way that we were when i was transmitted right ok that's the person to person transmission that we've seen who is the most vulnerable here. elderly people most the age of 60 or more. and what you have to from now on that. they have to be have to have a basic disease. mostly water for the infection to die from the infection ok martin looking at how quickly this virus has spread in your opinion are we you know at the end of this how long do you think it will take before we see this virus peak at a global level. global it's quite difficult to estimate in china we would expect the pekin that say we could go one of how we mostly depends on if you see just only seeing the. other countries like in germany and france or in italy or if we have large breaks if we know from now on in 14 days.

breaks in other countries then you might have the chance that it's not spread globally all right martin. joining us from frankfurt thank you for your analysis you know a. german foreign minister has announced that germany is joining the growing list of countries evacuating citizens from china around 100 citizens are set to be flown back home. because we now have all the required permissions from chinese authorities to evacuate our citizens. a military plane will leave for china shortly to bring our people home. i'm relieved that we can now end this difficult situation in which our citizens find themselves as we are ready to fly those out who are willing to leave that's

a total of around $100.00 people. no one among them is infected or suspected of being infected it's. all good. meanwhile in china the lunar new year holiday was supposed to come to an end instead it's been extended with travel restrictions and lockdowns in many cities across the country staying in place the vast majority of the nearly 10000 coronavirus cases are in china's hu bay province and the city of will hand the epicenter of the outbreak people there are on high alert. on the border with today province where the virus passed a managed few are braving the streets many shops are closed and town centers does that it residents are cautious working as a writer to not only 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 go for

a short walk in the small area but i didn't dare go too far that would remember. top utilize or to do normally this time of year a lot of people come here you know now there's nobody for them normally there are at least a few 1000 people walking about here. the latest figures from chinese health authorities sure 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 and i think they will be made a small mental check from the chinese government. i'm not sure that i think i will like germany and after this be isolated. for 2 weeks locals

life there is on what ever present precautions in the middle and how about if you go let's check in now and some other stories making news around the world democrats in the u.s. senate have been dealt a blow in their bid to call witnesses president donald trump's impeachment trial one of the few republican senators thought to be undecided said he would not support the move his announcement means that trump's trial could end with a quick acquittal. israeli aircraft struck military targets in the gaza strip in response to new rocket fire from the palestinian territory it said 3 rockets were fired at israel overnight without causing any casualties the strikes come amid heightened tensions after the release of a controversial middle east peace plan by a us president trump and australian officials have declared a state of emergency for the capital city of canberra and surrounding regions as soaring temperatures and strong winds threaten to worsen a large bush fire that's burning out of control it is the 1st stage of a minute emergency in the capital since deadly wildfires almost 2 decades ago.

you're watching d.w. news still to come on our show less than a week after the death of kobe bryant the l.a. lakers are set to return to the court will look at how the team will be commemorating with their greatest players. by 1st brags that day has arrived after years of squabbling a negotiation that britain is set to end almost half a century of ever closer integration with its neighbors as a bid farewell to the european union in brussels the brags that party delegation left the european parliament building for the last time party member sense of duty to stop their departure came after brussels also said goodbye to britain by lighting up buildings in the city's main square the colors of the british flag the u.k. will officially leave at midnight central european time after 47 years as part of a bloc. right let's go to london now our correspondent standing by for us there hi berkut what are you hearing from people there in the capital on this brings that

day. it's obvious is a reward people are talking about at the moment most of my friends remain as they are going to solve the night away i think but i also you have a great city a friend and she admitted she's going to quote you pop open a bottle of champagne i think that really reflects the sentiment of most people it's like being in a for a football team you either for this one off or the other one there are strong emotions attached to either side of course it's also the biggest story for the british media and for the pro european guardian it reduces britain to a small island whereas the pro brags the daily telegraph goes with boris johnson's message this is not an end but a beginning so really makes we've been speaking to people on the streets of london about this big historic day so let's have a listen to what they have to say. sovereignty back and have a lot more control i think that's the main thing that's what we're really going to

get from at the moment we're very disappointed. you know where we're being followed while the country is being you know i missed lived in this decision so it's 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 thing we purchased i have to sort of course later so you know the church really really you know it's been a long time and it's been very bitter and i think. you have to move on and i think everybody is going to try and do that you know from the government and also it's an institution. it's a think is cross. right back and as we heard their voices for and against so what events are planned in the u.k. to mark breaks today. here where we are at the moment polman square is going to see later on the bridge city is gathering and partying without alcohol i've been told

but then again also remain as will come into the city there's going to be some sort of pro european procession later on with candles we know that in scotland there is some sort of wake a pro european wake later on in front of the scottish parliament scots are hoping that for them this is also a new beginning because they are hoping that in the course of bricks that they will become european at least a large number of nationalists are hoping that then just across the right here in downing street there's going to be a countdown well the minutes are being mocked the seconds are being mocked until the end of the membership of the european union later on i do leaven a clock british time and it's also going to be a speech by the british prime minister say a lot is going on on this symbolic historic day for the u.k. and we'll be covering all of it right here on the including that moment as you said as the time shifts over from to midnight and the u.k. officially leaves the european union did have these big mass covering the story for

us from london thank you. meanwhile in brussels the new leaders are now turning their attention towards the future of post brags that europe the presidents of the european commission the european parliament and the european council presented a united front when we addressed media and they reiterated that the remaining you member states would continue to build a common future and have britain as a neighbor and friend if it respects civil. realignment always we want to forge the closest possible partnership with our british friends but at the same time it's clear that the e.u. will stand up for its interest and with great determination yes britain will now be a nonmember state and the same rules apply for all non member states only those who respect the rules of the e.u. single market can enjoy the full benefits of that market does seem. all right you have used brags that analyst rob is with us for more on the story hi

rob we heard the european commission president was a law funded mind speaking there what did you make of what she had to say i think is a completely valid position and the only warm the e.u. can say coming it's quite clear if you leave the policy you don't get the same benefits and especially on these new standards the the level playing field in terms of environmental protection taxation and labor policies if the u.k. wants to enjoy that treatment special treatment that it will have to adhere to those guidelines otherwise it can't have a comprehensive access to the single market it really hints that what could be really tough negotiations ahead of trade negotiations when the u.k. actually leaves the e.u. tonight a stroke of midnight what will change on the ground on the ground initially not so much i mean with and so this so-called transition period for 11 months in which during that was on both sides were trying to thrash out some sort of deal. but

essentially for the 11 months coming up the u.k. remains in the single market in the customs union it continues paying into the budget. it has to abide by the norms and regulations but can no longer shape or form or influence them. but essentially legally what changes the article 50 which is the withdrawal process is now officially in effect the divorce is set. the only way it could change is if the case would apply to rejoining which probably won't happen anytime soon which some are wishing for the remainders are wishing for but that looks unlikely as you're saying russia and as it as the e.u. and u.k. are looking forward now to these trade negotiations what do you think are going to be the biggest hurdles to get past i think. the think boris johnson idea the. he can come to some sort of comprehensive agreement by the end of this year is

farfetched to put it mildly i think they'll try and agree on the bed bones deal that concerns many kurds. think maybe they can perhaps move on the issue of the fishing rights which is a major problem but i think all the other issues like security defense aviation education i think they're probably leave that to one side initially to see how far they gets in terms of the focus on goods but again if they don't gets necessary or don't make the necessary progress then by july 1st the u.k. government and indeed the e.u. would have to decide whether they want to see an extension and right now boris johnson has repeatedly said he would not seek an extension so. i think everyone thinks that you know we've gone from get bricks it done to got brakes it done but i think the fun will actually start now it's not really done yet now is it

a year and right if you look back if we take stock at this long and arduous process this road to break that over these past 3 years where do you think it does leave the united kingdom is it really a kingdom more divided than ever i would say so yes and not just politically for look at the situation now in scotland 1st minister nicola sturgeon is pushing for a 2nd referendum. westminster obviously has a veto but i think if the pressure reaches breaking points then i think they have no choice but to accede to to another referendum. but i think apart from that political dimension i think it's also caused a blitz and a divide within british society. i think it you know sometimes you bandy about these terms like it's damage the psyche but i think there's definitely that kind of splits in that divide within british society now all right our break that analyst

rob thank you so much. well throughout the break the process much of the focus has been on london but brags it will affect everyone in the u.k. some more than others at the very southern tip of england just a few kilometers across the dover straight from france lies st margaret's at cliffs a small village that's traditionally benefitted from it's a geographical and political proximity to europe but starting tomorrow that might begin to change. nestled among the white cliffs of dover a small pick to rescue english village located about 30 kilometers across the channel from france st margaret sutcliffe has had a long and special relationship with continental europe totally dependent on one another. and i don't think they can do without so we can all do without them. despite the close relationship over 60 percent of the towns and habitants voted leave in the 26000 bricks it's referendum and some people in the area say that they

are really worried about what brics it will mean for business market this time of year especially and so for pretty much time is usually the european market we have got show belgium it's germans and i have to bring all that ice and i come in last year we did ok this year. it's looking pretty bleak. in this bar residents say they're relieved that at long last breaths it is finally happening for the. future pretty cumbersome you are the last 3. people on the rigs to democratic shoulder from the real job to try to do the trick if you try to go in the minute. to pick from. however some are not ruling out that one day britain could rejoin the e.u. enjoy your work all divorces are people with the next 24 years are also.

really is. machine reason we are back here maybe we're in a different for 50 years from now but it's an interesting. you know fortunately. for now britain is preparing for a life outside of the european union and the tide is changing in st margaret's at cliff. 5 days after the fatal helicopter crash that killed basketball star kobe bryant reports are emerging that the craft's operating company was not certified to fly in poor visibility heavy fog is said to have contributed to the accident brian to his teenaged daughter and 7 others were killed the island express helicopters company was reportedly only certified to operate in conditions where the pilot could see outside the aircraft of the l.a. lakers are planning to hold a pre-game tribute to their former star player when they were turned to the court friday night for their 1st game since the stuff. a memorial in the

making to kobe bryant and his daughter giana. this los angeles artist known as cable has been working on it for only a few days he's not sure when he'll finish it. cable has painted other murals in l.a. but this one is different if i kind of like my 1st time doing like somebody like a tribute. and. thanks so much energy out here in the street you know people like coming together like. i feel like it is like a place where people can actually write gather. like embrace a character the loss of the basketball star his daughter and 7 others in last sunday's helicopter crash has devastated funds working on the mural has given cable time to come to terms with the tragedy and focus on what legacy coby leaves behind here with fire a lot of keep going and i hopefully. hear his dad. i know i was right

again you know. people and i like a few a few trout today 3 cardiff will emerge from there if you know expired by biased person. across town in central los angeles heartbroken funds have created a memorial outside the staples center the basketball arena work obed's former team the l.a. lakers play their home games his death has resulted in an outpouring of grief. as to day turns to night the mourners multiply many of spoken of how they followed kobe's entire 20 year career playing until his retirement in 2016 as the n.b.a.'s 3rd highest all time score for each and every fun coby even though at times tribe had been controversy was special and his death aged $41.00 came too soon. it's not just. coby that the championship winner the m.v.p.

the all star it's you know we lost a family member eliot los angeles lost a family member and he's going to leave a legacy of an amazing father i think and so much more than just basketball obviously he won an oscar he did a lot more so i think he is going to be. i can't even put into words but the biggest thing that l.a. ever lost in california ever lost because we all loved him and we're going to miss him greatly. what he had me for us is that anybody you can do it anyone can do it you know did because you're black or white or hispanic it doesn't matter you could do what you want to do and call me by show us that been a young black man you can do whatever you put your money to. the l.a. lakers will play their 1st game since kobe's death on friday night an emotional time for funds who are determined to never forget their hero.

now these are the northern lights are one of nature's most spectacular displays if you're lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time a vast curtains a color cascading across the night sky or something you will never forget and now sky watchers have discovered a stunning highlight in northern europe a totally new type of the old over finland and sweden take a look. at the overall row borealis egos sky gazes set up their cameras to get the perfect shot and it's photographers like these who 1st captured a new type of northern lights of about finland and sweden the wavelike formations on the left of the screen being referred to as june i physicist mina palmer is part of the research team that analyzed them. if you think about that or are arcs you can. say that they are like curtains or vertical structures but these.

horizontal and they are in a constant out the layer northern lights are created when electrically charged particles of solar wind into the earth's magnetic field they react with molecules in the upper atmosphere creating light in many shades mainly green however research is still not quite certain as to why the light takes on such peculiar formations we think that these dunes represent atmospheric waves which are growing on about 100 kilometer altitude this discovery has made one thing clear amateur photographers can play a key role in helping scientists illuminate phenomena in the earth's atmosphere. let's get a recap of our top stories on d w more countries issue travel warnings for china as the corona virus continues to spread the u.s. and japan are among those urging citizens to avoid non-urgent trips to the country
