7:02 pm
something prime minister boris johnson try to counter with a positive message for the future. as the government my job is to bring this country together and take us what the most important thing to say tonight is that this is. but a beginning. but brecht's it is like nigel who fought a long campaign to take the u.k. out of the e.u. set triumphalist tone. i meet the really. good trading moves in there's 3 i. did as the day dawned on a new u.k. the newspaper headlines mark the moment in history and almost half a century of e.u. u.k. corporation but the nation is far from united some voice their sense of loss it's a great tragedy. for my life i've been in the european union my grandfather fortune
7:03 pm
was in europe we thought that was all over we thought we would be one continent peace. and harmony and now it feels. it was a fearless peaceful as it should be while others felt for the vigor what some called freedom or excitement returning to the days before the e.u. . i feel absolutely delighted it's what we wanted to do. and i feel that's probably peculiar to my generation but if we. move to push inflation it's undeniable that bret's it has exposed a huge division in british politics but the show of the nation and tribalism in the u.k. on this the point of departure from the e.u. indicates that the debate over its place in europe is far from settled. and as this video message projected on dover's white cliffs by pro remain pressure group led by don't put it there is even now hope that perhaps the u.k.
7:04 pm
might one day return. earlier i spoke to our correspondent who was in one dinner as britain adjusted to breakfast day one after breakfast and the country is still divided a joyful event a devastating moment for others but lots of parts of the country also feel like now that the divorce from the european union has done the rifts that breck said has cost can finally be overcome those hopes were marriage by prime minister boris johnson when he mocked the historic moment and called upon his people to unite and to heal he is now painting the picture of a prosperous and global britain off to break that but the reality is that nobody knows what's in store yet the real work though is about to begin a new trade deal with the european union needs to be found by the end of 2020 a task which many trade experts say is next to impossible. our let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world demonstrators
7:05 pm
in algeria have marked 50 consecutive weeks of protest against the ruling elite the heroic movement's marches have been smaller in recent weeks but a larger crowd turned out for friday's rally calling for change and the removal of the army's role in politics. iraq has a new prime minister mohammad alawi a former communications minister will now try to form a new government and will run the country until elections are held his predecessor resigned following months of political unrest protesters have been demanding an end to corruption in the country. the los angeles lakers of honor their former player kobe bryant in their 1st game since his death last weekend tens of thousands of fans gathered at the staples center to pay tribute to the star who died in a helicopter crash alongside his daughter and 7 others a key accuser in harvey weinstein's trial has testified that she was raped twice by the former hollywood mogul actress jessica man said she remained in
7:06 pm
a relationship with him out of fear weinstein has been charged with several counts of sexual assault or more countries are confirming cases of the new corona virus that has infected almost $12000.00 people in china and killed at least $259.00 those countries include sweden russia and the u.k. and here in germany a military plane with more than $100.00 people on board as landed in frankfurt the german government says there are no confirmed or suspected cases onboard but it's not taking any chances the passengers are going through a series of checks at a specially built medical assessment center at the airport if anyone is found to be infected with the coronavirus they'll be transferred to frankfurt's university hospital. well to get more on this now i'm joined in studio by our political correspondent simon young no simon as we heard many countries started to move their citizens out of china germany now doing the same today with this plane landing in frankfurt do we know who's on that plane and what's going to happen to the now that
7:07 pm
they've landed now that they're back in germany. 124 people were brought back on this military boss to frankfurt the soft of just over 100 german citizens and. their family members some of them anyway from various nationalities and those people as you say. confirmed as not having any symptoms not being sick when they got on the plane but of course it's important because those symptoms could develop in the in the 12 hours or so that they've been traveling. again and that's what's been happening and those that are said to be still clear of the virus at the moment will then be taken to a quarantine sent to be held for 14 days and the government saying this is a precautionary measure it's part of the cautious approach that the government is taking the health minister gives on has been speaking earlier and we can have
7:08 pm
a listen to a little bit of what he said about some shoots in order to protect the evacuees themselves their families and also the german population it's important we ensure nobody is infected as the month. treaty it is. there is an incubation period of up to 2 weeks for these fires kind of during which noise symptoms to get feasible but in fiction may still be present in order to be able to exclude these quarantine is necessary journey in this period which it was i mean clearly germany is taking this seriously no no suspected cases at least no symptoms by anyone on the plane and yet they're likely to be quarantined tell talk about how germany is handling this they're taking this seriously well yes seriously and as i say very cautiously the health minister also said in that press conference that you know if people accuse him later of being overcautious that's just only by him and you know you
7:09 pm
could say it's a bit ridiculous a plane load of healthy people arrives at frankfurt airport something that happens many times every day but just to just to be sure because there's still not so much experience with exactly how this virus looks how it can develop and so to have these people in a place where they can be monitored where they can be treated immediately obviously for their own health but to keep them away from the general population it's also part of dealing with any potential spread of panic we've seen a lot of people buying up face most in germany so i think the government just wants to demonstrate that it's got the situation under control all right of course there are confirmed cases in germany so they are taking precautions do you correspondents i mean young thank you so much. all right turning now to the controversial middle east peace plan being proposed by u.s. president donald trump the plan is seen as favoring israel and on saturday it was rejected at
7:10 pm
a meeting of the arab league in cairo of palestinian president mahmoud abbas has gone further cutting all ties with israel and the u.s. including security relations the plan has also sparked protests among palestinians who also strongly projected the plan proposes a palestinian state and recognition of israeli settlements in the occupied west bank. let's get more i'm joined now by our correspondent in jerusalem tanya kramer tanya 1st of all how significant is this. when i think stuffing security coordination would be significant if it happens it would change the realities on the ground in the occupied west bank having said that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has in the past already threatened to cut security relations security cordon nation with israel and we have to wait and see whether he will implement those steps soon in the coming days but also significant
7:11 pm
today is probably told the palestinians to support they got through the arab league through this statement that they reject this plan by the terms of ministration because initially the statements by some of the arab states where. except for jordan and it's important for them to get this broad rejection by the arab league of the plan showing a united front there now going back to this move to spend relations with israel in the u.s. and what exactly does that mean in practice. well we're talking here about security relations the palestinian leaders have already cut off diplomatic ties with the trump administration in december 2017 that was when president trump. recognized too slim as the capital of israel but still kept some relations with u.s. security agencies and intelligence services so they could be cut off now the other
7:12 pm
thing is the security coordination with israel that happens on the ground between security agencies palestinian and israeli agencies in the occupied west bank that is a very controversial issue actually that for a very long time among the palestinian public has been a lot of pressure always on president abbas to stop this kind of security cordon nations so if he goes through with it this time this would be a big headache for the israeli security establishment now tanya when trumps peace plan was it was released abbas responded with quote 1000 no i mean it would just walk us through again why was this plan so unacceptable to the palestinians. well fallen post palestinian president the perception it was you know taking all the position off the israeli side i mean they think that it did doesn't take into
7:13 pm
account their interest their quest for a palestinian state and the plan doesn't vision a palestinian state but it will be it will not be an independent sovereign state but just some sort of limited sovereignty with only parts of east jerusalem the rest all of jerusalem would be under the control of israel and this is unacceptable for palestinians who want to see is to islam as their capital and also it would allow israel to annex parts of the occupied west bank right on a crime reporting for us in jerusalem thank you very much. all right sports now in the bundesliga by munich and bruce a dormant enjoying comfortable think the reason today's games let's take a look biron have actually taken over the top of the table now after winning 31 and mights dortmund thrashing when 5 nil hoffenheim came from behind to be deliver
