this is d.w. news live from berlin and it is day one of britain's future outside of the european union after night one time celebrations among those who voted to leave the country finds. on the morning after that the hardest part of threads that may be yet to come also coming up more and more countries have acted with their nationals from china and made a global scramble to curb the spread of the new coronavirus and to vote shy democrats hoping to call witnesses in president trump's impeachment trial are

defeated in the senate clearing the way for trump's almost certain acquittal in the coming days. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program after 3 years of high stakes political drama since it voted to leave the european union and britain is out of the block at the stroke of midnight brussels time the u.k. ended nearly half a century of membership in the european union of bragg's it is still not a done deal the 2 sides now embarking on an 11 month transition period and the difficult work of finding the terms of a new relationship. bringing in the change is a recording of big ben bricks it's at the prime minister's residence in downing street but the country is. still written by the is you. know you celebrating

britain's exit from the e.u. in parliament square did so with a fierce passion for some britain had been set free. expression really like. this. i think. the so-called breck's it is like nigel for us who fought a long campaign to take the u.k. out of the e.u. it was an historic day the decades he held a minority view but with britain's exit he led the celebrations at the nation's departure. the. i made history i. tried to move in the movie history i was but the nation

is far from united in joy at the move. e.u. supporters gathered outside the scottish parliament here in adams and in other parts of the u.k. there was sadness a majority of scots voted to stay in the e.u. but their voice is being ignored in westminster. i think it's because i'm a 62 percent of us fortitude in europe some are being dragged out against our will it's absolutely a disgrace and. sorrow in brussels to hear and in other cities on the continent young britons rallied their future less certain and their vision of a nation at home in europe seemingly defeated. the need breaks the thank you kate. he didn't pay for.

rex it has exposed a huge division in british politics but the show of emotion i'm trying to listen in the u.k. on its point of departure from the e.u. indicates that the debate over its place in europe is far from settled. and joining me now is the mass with standing by in london where it is day one after brags that bear get what is the mood like on the streets there. well sorrow these feelings that have been displayed last night these patriotic feelings by the brick city is who feel that they have finally broken free and overjoyed but also the sadness of the remain as to where are holding candlelight vigils here next to parliament square while the rexx tears were celebrating these deep feelings are not going to go away i think it's a little bit like you are either for this one football team or for the other but

there is no not much in between and for boris johnson to bring the country together it is going to be a big toss i brought you some newspapers also to give a flavor of what's going on the fruit bricks a daily express is gushing patriotically saying our time has come then the sun. that's also a break to pay for. is looking more forward and saying make leave no it was so joining in with prime minister boris johnson's message of trying to move forward and bring the country together but indeed it's not an easy talls for boris johnson and his government at all it is not an easy task indeed but you know he has promised to make brags that what he calls an incredible success so what are the next steps for the u k. he has a long to do list there is 1st of all their relationship with brussels he only has

11 months time to look forward look to the future a new free trade agreement with brussels a lot of experts say that this is not enough time and that there is still a risk that the u.k. will leave the european union with out to the at the end of this so-called friends asian period which is going to last until the end of the year so there is still a huge danger that there will be huge economic consequences if that indeed happens soon he has to work on that and he has to he has promised that he levels up the country say a lot of people in the north of england in particular have voted for greg said because they feel forgotten they feel somehow left behind and he has promised to put money into these regions huge infrastructure projects so there is a lot of work i had for boris johnson to do that mass and london thank you. let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world police in chile have fired water cannon and tear gas at anti-government protesters in the capital

santiago protesters responded by throwing rocks at vehicles to lay and have been demonstrating for greater social equality since october. demonstrators in algeria have marked 50 consecutive weeks of protest against the ruling elites the heraclea ment's marches had drawn diminished crowds in recent weeks but friday's rallies saw a larger turnout calling for change and the removal of the army's role in politics . and more countries are now confirming cases of the new coronavirus that has infected almost $12000.00 people in china and killed $259.00 those countries include sweden russia and the u.k. several countries have restricted travel to and from china in an effort to curb the outbreak many governments are also evacuating their citizens including sri lanka indonesia and germany a military plane bringing more than $100.00 people home is on its way to frankfurt the german government says there are no confirmed or suspected cases onboard but

it's not taking any chances. in order to guarantee the safety of the population in germany. those who were flown out will be held in quarantine for 2 weeks at a blunders fantasise. this will ensure that no infection exists in any of the evacuees floor for the. simon young here in the city as i meant you know many countries evacuating their citizens from china now terminal killing cell tell us more yet this. boss carrying these people back to germany left hand the city most seriously affected by this outbreak and was just to land at frankfurt earlier but it's been delayed that's because a plane refusing stop in moscow couldn't happen because the russian authorities refused permission for that so that's been done in helsinki in finland in state and

obviously the purpose of this is to keep them corinth. and so to prevent any possible spread of the disease and completely separately we have to say that there are confirmed cases that are already in the country that's right there are 7 confirmed cases they are all linked one foot in bavaria where it seems that one of the employees had picked up the virus and spread it to the rest of the group including in one case we're told the child of one of the employees so this is more evidence of this person to person spread transmission of this virus and the government is taking a cautious approach it saying all suspected cases must be reports aides and the health minister said you know if i'm accused of being too cautious well that will be a good thing if signing on. to the united states now where the senate has voted against hearing from witnesses in

the impeachment trial of president donald trump senators voted $51.00 to $49.00 against the motion only 2 republican senators sided with the democratic members of the senate in an attempt to hear from witnesses including trump's former national security advisor now the defeat it paves the way for trump's likely acquittal and a vote set for wednesday are there any senators in the chamber wishing to change his or her vote if not the a's are 49 nays are 51. after 11 days of marathon arguments republican senators all but very democrats hopes of removing president trump from the white house the battle centered around whether or not to subpoena new evidence and witnesses including former national security adviser john bolton new revelations from his forthcoming book seem to corroborate the charges that the president abused his office for his own political games. but with democrats in the minority in the 100 member senate

their hopes of questioning bolton hinged on winning over a handful of moderate republicans. that hold died even before friday's vote when lisa murkowski announced i carefully considered the need for additional witnesses and documents but ultimately decided that i will vote against considering motions to subpoena with republicans and willing to budge democrats were left fuming if my republican colleagues refused to even consider witnesses and documents in this trial this country is headed towards the greatest coverup since watergate trump's defense argued the democrats had missed their chance by rushing the impeachment investigation through the house of representatives. you've heard from a lot of witnesses the problem with the case the problem with their position is even with all of those witnesses it doesn't prove up an impeachable offense the
