this is news coming to you live from berlin in a state of the union address president tells americans you've never had it so good in american adventure has only just begun and my fellow americans the best is yet to come. republicans cheer and chant 4 more years but the democrats speaker of the house sitting just behind the president makes clear what she thinks of his speech. also coming up coronavirus confirmed on a cruise ship at least 10 people from that ship quarantined off the coast of japan

have tested positive almost $4000.00 passengers and crew could be stuck on board for 2 more weeks. and the rare moments when the children of it live can just be children we visited for an age taking care of youngsters who've been bombed out of their homes says syrian government forces advance on the last rebel stronghold. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us u.s. president all trump hailed what he called the great american comeback in his annual state of the union address to congress in a speech covering a wide range of policies topped off at times with spectacle reminiscent of his reality t.v. background he celebrated america's booming economy that's his main platform in this election year trump also touted his moves on

a range of signature foreign policy issues including trade deals and pressuring nato allies to increase military spending. as donald trump made his way to the podium it was clear he had the support of his republican party . but as they chanted for more years there was no escaping the fact that this hell since democratic controlled impeachment wasn't mentioned but president trump appeared to snub house speaker nancy pelosi the most powerful elected democrat by refusing to shake her hand. and this was to be his show 3 years ago we launched the great american comeback tonight i stand before you 2 share the incredible results jobs are booming incomes are soaring

poverty is plummeting crime is falling confidence is surgery and our country is thriving and highly respected again. i from the economy to trade foreign policy to defense donald trump in short he was sent to stage america's enemies are on the run america's fortunes are on the rise in america's future is blazing bright. the years of economic to k are over. before ever the entertainer donald trump had a few surprises up his sleeve we'll take this message back to you before he called venezuela's opposition leader one why i don't know who was watching from the gallery the legitimate president of venezuela the best is yet to come

thank you but this drama drew to a close it was what was going on behind him that stole the show nancy pelosi ripping up his speech the bitter feud between the 2 boiling over once again. our washington correspondent alexander phenomena was following the speech of course and she sent us this assessment president trump didn't mention impeachment once his address but it was clearly on his mind the speech began with donald trump not shaking house speaker pelosi offered hand an awkward way to start the night as the president continue to focus on the u.s. economy praising his role in the goshi new trade agreements and reducing regulations he addressed his democratic rivals by criticizing their alleged socialist policies and she laid out his administration's foreign policy

achievements again and again the democrats express dissent and protests that the atmosphere in the chamber was tense reflecting partisanship in u.s. politics and culminating in nancy pelosi ripping up her copy of the president's speech. well as alexander mentioned trump focused mostly on domestic policies but he did mention a couple of foreign policy issues as well as one example the ongoing tensions with iran let's have a quick listen and recent months we have seen prouder rain ians raise their voices against their oppressive rulers the arabian regime must abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons stop spreading terror death and destruction and start working for the good of its own people because of our powerful sanctions the iranian economy is doing very very poorly we can help them make a very good and sure time recovery it can all go very quickly but perhaps

they are too proud or too foolish to ask for that how we are here let's see which road they choose it is totally up to them. see which road they choose well from our asia desk bearish bad energy is with us he was following his speech as well of course good to see you bearish what kind of message is trump sending to iran with those comments very clear message to turkey the strategy of maximum pressure is going to continue nights a strategy that is designed to bring it on to the talks table to negotiate on u.s. storms and of course here the biggest option is that iran is going to do that because what's happening with the strategy of maximum pressure is that the hardliners in the regime are getting more power and they are moving away from the west which is not what hasan rouhani the president of iran wanted remember he really signed up to do it in a nuclear deal which the u.s.

unilaterally walked away from and all of this is happening in an election year not just for the united states but also for it on which holds legislative elections this month so therefore the pressure is on on both sides to show a hard face a hard stance so one should not be expecting a thaw in relations between both countries any time soon ok the. was a rant he did touch on a couple of other countries he took the opportunity to talk about china in his speech the trade war between washington and beijing has featured prominently in the trump presidency so far here's what he had to say about that i also promised our citizens that i would oppose tariffs to confront giant is massive theft of americans. our strategy has worked days ago we cited the groundbreaking new agreement with china that will defend our workers protect our intellectual property bring billions and billions of dollars into our treasury and open vast new markets

for products made and grown right here in the usa. u.s. relations with china have changed significantly during the trumpet ministration what are the implications of these changes for other countries in the region terry u.s. relations with china have been central to u.s. policy in the wider region which is generally called the free and open in the pacific if you like i can in the morning. the trade wall with china and that donald trump began which is seen some sort of progress with the phase one trade deal between china and the united states has taken up so much attention that it's taken we from what this if all ip was trying to achieve it was to build up some sort of an alliance of quote coalition between india and australia japan for example along with the united states to come to chinese influence in asia not much attention has been bid to that instead it's the us china treats but that's taken up

all the time talking about paying attention the state of the union address of course everyone in the united states watches it here on the side of the atlantic to get some attention but what about an asia to people there watch it do they care about it honestly terry no it's not on the on the viewing agenda for ordinary people in asia but of course for governments it is very important bit in mind that the us is the only country with that it's possible in shock utley to china and therefore what the us presidency is in the state of the union does provide some peeps as to what the euro could be for those countries so therefore the government's obviously it's important but not so much for people there is thanks for your insights bearish battery from our desk. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today partial results of the iowa caucus show democrat pete booted cheche in the lead followed closely by bernie sanders just over 70 percent of the results of now been released after unexpected delays iowa

chinese government would have its people believe for a conference some to convert it to an enormous makeshift hospital particular hands response to the flood of new infections. chinese state television broadcast fitch have recently completed hospitals with multitudes of doctors taking care of a few patients. but secretly recorded videos from hospitals paint a very different picture body bags containing the dead lying close to patients even in waiting areas this citizen journalist visited for hospitals and. people are not being informed about the real situation state t.v. doesn't go where it hurts but i think this needs to be seen. the journalist found more body bags outside one hospital. inside he saw dying

what's happening with the passengers. terry it is a very anxious wait for the 1800 passengers who are still on board the cruise line of behind me at the moment they don't know at this stage how long they will be forced to stay on board the cruise ship all that is known is that several crew members have shown symptoms of the new coronaviruses also known that on a previous journey 3 passengers were later confirmed to have the corona virus a lot of questions being asked as to how this cruise line was still allowed to carry on with its trips off to that now clearly it's going to be a very big logistical challenge to figure out exactly want to do with these 800 passengers now stuck on board this cruise line of what is believed about this virus is it can take up to 2 weeks to display symptoms so anybody who's been in contact with somebody with

a new coronavirus is encouraged to stay in quarantines not then gauge with other people so the question is what will happen to these passengers on board this cruise liner next. we just heard that a man has been taken from the hong kong cruise liner on to an ambulance after coronavirus shock we've seen already one deaths from the corona virus in hong kong on tuesday how much of a risk is hong kong facing from the coronavirus. well hong kong now has 18 confirmed cases and as you say terry one confirmed death that was an 839 year old man known to have traveled to know something that's particularly been concerning people here over the last couple of days that we've seen local transmissions a number several of the recently diagnosed cases all watch on xm it is likely that means that those people aren't believed to travel to mainland china particularly

the epicenter of this virus woohoo hands so that's causing deep concern here in hong kong what has to be remembered is hong kong suffered very deeply from the songs virus back in 2003 almost 300 people lost their lives to everyone here remember just how devastating that was hong kong is very densely populated making a spread of a virus like this that bit easier so of course people taking all the precautions that they can to try and stop the spread of this virus. thank you very much. in hong kong. you're watching t.v. news coming up later in the program the fascination of abandoned buildings as we look at the work about the target for who finds new life in decay as nature takes back it's. the 1st to syria where a government offensive against the last rebel stronghold has caused one of the
