migrant crisis. now behind this. village we know they do this for money. and this hysteria over the coronavirus outbreak peaks people of asian descent find themselves on the receiving end of racism. wednesday afternoon one here in the russian capital. news this hour 1st to the palestinian president formally rejected donald trump's middle east peace plan into resolving the israel palestine conflict it was described at the u.n. security council as a reward for occupation and mahmoud abbas became metaphorical about where it leaves his state sovereignty. this is the state that they will give us which is like swiss cheese which of you will accept such
5:02 am
a state. palestinian leader mahmoud abbas spoke before the 15 member body that leads the united nations and made his case about why palestine is rejecting the proposal put forward by the white house and israel take a listen i have come to you to call for a just peace on behalf of the palestinians that is all i have come to you today to reaffirm the palestinian position which rejects the u.s. really american proposal this is supported by the results of meetings of the arab league the organization of islamic cooperation and the african union they have all concluded that this plan must be completely rejected that's in addition to statements by the e.u. russia china japan and others now abbas did mention he was open to negotiations with israel as long as the negotiations were sponsored by what is referred to as the international quartet united states the u.n. russia and the european union now the israeli representative got up and spoke and
5:03 am
indicated that israel feels that in the past negotiations with palestinians have been unsuccessful here's what we heard from the israeli representative president abbas few the to be plugged. to negotiate even interested in finding a balance to do the conflict. mr president. let's not beat around the bush. peace would not be made of longer than the. vision the reality only when he steps down. in the move fooled already on the very day when this u.n. security council meeting was taking place there were clashes taking place on the west bank between palestinians and israeli security forces near the palestinian city of ramallah there was conflict at this point there were jewish settlements there was tear gas dispersed against palestinian protesters rocks were thrown quite
5:04 am
a heated and into. exchange a lot of injuries took place it seems that this proposed peace plan is not leading to peace and stability and it's not just palestinians who are unhappy with the so-called deal of the century it's proving divisive in the e.u. as well where the foreign policy chief voiced his skepticism over trump's plan and its ability to end the long lasting conflict in the middle east while stating that the majority of the you members don't consider the plan to be a good starting point in. your proposal to table 2 weeks ago. really challenges need to a nation but i'm at this and it is difficult to see how this initiative can bring both parties back to the table. the u.s. plan would formalize its recognition of jerusalem as israel's undivided capital and claims to double palestine's territory it also offers $50000000000.00 worth of investment in the new state we heard from a senior political advisor to president abbas who's unconvinced and says they're
5:05 am
being offered next to nothing. this is not a deal this is an attempt to liquidate the palestinian problem give it a big part of our land in the west bank to israel and. israel responsible for our security whatever. with us. and take over all of the. jews a little and stop giving on your rights to the refugees there is nothing call for the really for this to our best to accept the security council he was very clear. i am i want peace based on a 2 state solution i want to negotiate directly with israel not through america i want the quartet which includes russia and. the united nations and the united states but i will not submit to be knighted states and make it the sole
5:06 am
all not of this peace process because it is so totally biased with israeli. greece now where the migrant crisis has become a battleground between the authorities and n.g.o.s operating there as organizations have been accused of inciting hatred and violence between locals and refugees. there is a galaxy of golgi n.g.o.s operating alongside a network of doctors lawyers and other people making a mint out of the human misery of these people they are leeches and these practices must end all of this contributes to illegal migration they are land of less boss has been a constant scene of protest since camps were established to handle the migrant influx large rallies of often turned violent just last week police were called into action to disperse crowds we've been asking local residents who agree with the government's stance that n.g.o.s are feeling the situation but like you know we all
5:07 am
know what. they're behind this bad situation our village we can understand the migrants we cannot leave just watching them killing our animals setting fire to the fields and you it's destroying all the trees that we had here for years and years now. but yes the ngos are behind this bad situation we know they do this for money of course they are not all the same it will make shift camp in question is located on the island of less boss it was originally designed to host 3000 migrants maximum but the number of people currently being kept there is 6 times more than that amount with little or no access to health care the united nations is calling for urgent action stressing that the camp should be moving some of those residents out meanwhile the refugee crisis across greece which has been on the front line of this for years is deepening last year it was estimated that around 74000 migrants reached greek shores and more than half of them remain in makeshift camps scattered
5:08 am
across various locations was more grace doesn't see an end insights with the country expecting up to 100000 more asylum seekers in the coming year and the governor of the region as well as the president of maria village where the camp is located say some n.g.o.s do help to ease the crisis. we have about 450 n.g.o.s act in and around the country many of them are very active on the islands where the immigration problem exists and some of them are doing a very good job with the help of the our government people but also some of them are really very obscure and ceo's we don't know where they coming from how they deal with the money where they receive money from how they spend the money so we have been asking the government to act strictly and to right to control all the sec to do so of this and this government has passed the new law in the parliament a few days ago according to which there will be a strict control of the indios. my personal opinion is that everybody knows we have
5:09 am
n.g.o.s that help with the situation and others that help the migrants to protest there are also religious n.g.o.s who are helping by giving food to poor and vulnerable people i don't have evidence to prove that they are behind any negative actions but i am sure that there is more here than meets the eye. lattes are several of the n.g.o.s in question has a comment on the situation as soon as we have anything back from any of them we will let you know their responses. next turkey's president has threatened immediate retaliate against syrian government forces if damascus doesn't scale back its offensive against a rebel held it live province president also suggested the military may attempt to dislodge the syrian army from parts of the stricken region where turkey has observation post let's get more on this now from our correspondent a goshdarn of ego this is fighting talk from the syrian president is now as he got to this point well indeed he is furious and really he does have sort of some reason
5:10 am
to be because his troops have died in a recent confrontation it's not clear with whom though but he clearly blames the syrian army and in fact this is the turkish president has de facto threatened to he told the syrians to get out of syria because he has threatened to do as you mentioned to this slaughter syrian troops from the province by the end of this month already so clearly the turkish president views himself i think is sort of a little sort of something but clearly he feels very much at home on the syrian soil he didn't stop with his rhetoric there too for instance he has accused both the syrians and the russians the russian air force of hitting civilians in that northern syrian province have a listen. to the syrian regime as well as russian forces in the run by militants. continuously attacking civilians committing masochism.
5:11 am
so this is clearly some very strong words from the turkish president and he has already talked and discussed apparently his rhetoric with the russian president vladimir putin and the turkish foreign minister has also announced that he will be visiting moscow soon clearly because of all these incidents that this syrian province has seen lately because for instance in the latest 15 turkish troops were killed in a mortar shelling and in response the turkish army targeted dozens of dozens of targets excuse me dozens of position of the syrian are about army as well so clearly this is not the 1st time that this is happening to turkey getting any backing for this latest threat and escalation oh yes of course i mean the united states and as you know the relationship between washington and ankara they have been quite rocky lately with turkey purchasing russia's as 400 defense systems and
5:12 am
so on and so forth so clearly in the white house people are very happy to see that now the strong words coming out of coming out of ankara directed not at the united states but of russia so my pump aoe has already announced that the united states will be lending a helping hand to turkey have a listen. my condolences to the families of the soldiers killed in yesterday's attack in the ongoing assaults by the assad regime and russia must stop i've sent jim jefferies to ankara to coordinate steps to respond to this destabilizing attack we stand by our nato ally. the so the united states are clearly trying to take control to get behind the wheel in this whole conflict and again this is not the 1st time that the turkish troops have been killed in it live there have been other instances as well and previously russia's foreign minister outlined what would be one of the key problems as why this keeps happening because he said that turkey
5:13 am
failed to deliver on one of the promises and that is to. divide the radical radical hardline jihadist groups from those groups who are ready to move forward as a dialogue we're ready to talk with damascus with bashar assad and so on and so forth this is according to russia this hasn't happened and clearly the visit of the turkish foreign minister to moscow which is imminent now they will be trying to sort this thing out 1st and ok so the flashpoint to keep watch on again all right for now a question of thanks very much. the world health organization surging the media not to cause hysteria surrounding the corona virus outbreak after reports of bird sighting about to collect from hong kong warning that 2 thirds of the world's population could be at risk of contracting the disease. some concerning instances of transmission from people we know travel history to china could be the spark that becomes a bigger. but no it's only
5:14 am
a spark object to the remains containment of the corona virus which is now been named covert 19 has a mortality rate of 2 percent compare that to the sars epidemic back in 2003 that killed 10 percent of those who caught it and a more recent health emergency in africa the a bone a virus was also much more deadly than the corona virus because the backdrop of panic and exaggerated reports people of asian descent are increasingly becoming the target of racist abuse around the globe we asked people in london's chinatown if they'd noticed a chain. an attitude. terrible loss we feel. sadness and sorrow but i don't think people should be targeted or hated on because of. thinking. people into captivity into a box and think it's a dangerous way of thinking this is chinatown in the center of london it's going to be one of the most popular destinations by locals and tourists alike but today as
5:15 am
you can see it's very quiet and the reason for that well after talking to locals and people on the streets they say it's plain and simple xenophobia the old is chinese community group in chinatown has been handling the backlash against the corona virus and the fear factor is clear. what about your personal experiences i think it was last thursday i was to train to work a normal guess what happened. beside me and i thought 1st was the. mother because we were standing. sit. because i'm trying these and people think oh i mean he be a potential carrier. what kind of reaction have you had from own members of your community
5:16 am
a lot of people just absurd to suppose for young children because i. didn't hear a lot of complaining from the parents the children got picked up. children just don't understand that student here hear from their own parents when the call school or when it's each other's student or young children this is so but the mere you because you might have a virus education for important the law is very important people understand that. the. transport and the global problem here so are the one thing the people with the thing that's just because you're trying to or you're peter chinese. your potential cameras the way that we've documented the things that go on in the eastern world has always there's always been a tone like that anyway it's always been around a think the moment that something like this happens that there is a virus they just allows people to say the things that they're actually have been fed for a very long time up probably out that they harbor they have these feelings anyway and it just gives people
5:17 am
a platform to say what they want because this fear and here i feel like it's just a very boring hard time right now for the chinese people i feel like using the disease. way to be easier for this just terrible. if it was someone from the usa i don't think people would treat people americans coming over the same way as they are treating the chinese people and chinese students etc it was crazy i mean i mean you can see that we hear the 1st 2 cases chinese today are the cases in which people come from singapore so you can see that. you could be an human being can be can you carry we have seen this before and now the coronavirus has instigated another wave of racism despite there being only a small number of cases confirmed in the u.k. and there's no doubt that the effect on the british chinese community has had huge
5:18 am
implications. are take. all the way around from marking the 41st anniversary of the islamic revolution and a day mixed with celebration and mass protest we'll tell you who that was i'd ask after this. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. i mean the world to be yet to shape out these days to come out to it and in games from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
5:19 am
what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be close it's like that before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. city. thousands of iranians have turned out for an anti us rally in the capital tehran which comes as the country about the 41st anniversary of the islamic revolution choose day tensions spiral with the united states is
5:20 am
a look back at how the republic was molded by events in the late 1970 s. . us around relations hit a new low in early january after the top iranian commander of the money was killed in an american astronaut in baghdad less than a week after that iran retaliated with missile attacks against u.s. bases and iraq addressing iranians during the rally president rouhani struck a defiant tone. somebody called that even though sadly it was that stage in the past 2 years america has put so much pressure on our beloved people and all of our treat all of our and. sports all of our imports and all of the countries needs to
5:21 am
exhaust the patience of our people the americans did not understand the grievances of the iranian people the united states believes it is facing 41 years of civilization no the americans are facing thousands of years of iranian civilization . we discussed washington's possible goals with a number of experts and asked whether there's any hope for the escalation as the u.s. ramps up the pressure on terror. do you see a chance here for iran to mend relations with the united states with europe or things through improvement terms of foreign policy or things just going to get tough for us things go on if the united states continues down this path that they will get nowhere with iran if they think that they can overthrow this comic proposed iran they're deeply misguided i think the american people are ill informed about the reality because the media in the united states is controlled by their leaders and those are leads have their own interests as well as talking points
5:22 am
directly from ayatollah khamenei but i see a bright future for you ryan i think you take is asking for all of the deposed or isn't. i see they are a mystery with the united states is it because of the problems or maybe they don't really like that or as it is. i don't think so now where you try to treat people are flocking to people rise out of. the united states to america populating cambodia already i don't suppose nobody really wants to go and live in iran iran is a is a viable nation state it has a legitimate role to play in the region we can debate whether or not this is malign or otherwise but it is a legitimate role just like any nation has a legitimate role the problem isn't iran per se the problem is the united states the united states needs to learn how to deal with with iran i think it's a miscalculation in the united states even imagine that iran is in any way or form
5:23 am
unstable iran has been able to stand firm despite u.s. sanctions despite the fact that the united states is trying to strangle the iranian economy it's a tension is to make ordinary people suffer i think president trouble stated very clearly in the policy is that iran will not develop. a nuclear program and he will do everything he can to stop the policy is not regime change but rather a regime. for the current regime of kamini to change course and stop destabilizing its neighbors and offer you know a brighter future for the people of iran it was the united states that withdrew from the. iran nuclear agreement not iran what iran has been doing since the american withdrawal is exercising exercising its rights in accordance with the the agreement to back off of its commitments so long is one party or multiple parties
5:24 am
are not in compliance. u.s. tariffs the way heavy on one of france's most iconic products even wine makers pleading for help official reports suggest the market is suffering significant losses right now here's a france correspondent. well just imagine that the u.s. is the 2nd largest importer of french wine so the idea of this 25 percent tax that was announced back in october and has been since slapped on those french wine products is really hitting the market for example we had some figures from the french federation of wine and spirits exporters say that since that tax was introduced they've see those exports plummet by some 33 percent and they're suggesting that the loss to their. their members could be something worth more than a $100000000.00 euros this year alone so they're very concerned they say that
5:25 am
those tariffs have already hit somewhere winemakers so hard that they've cut jobs and some of even had to go into bankruptcy as a result of this now that tax was imposed by the u.s. following a decision by the world trade organization last year that the e.u. had in the lead given subsidies to the plane maker airbus and then those taxes were slapped on a range of european products but it really seems to be that that french wine makers are the ones that are suffering we're demanding the creation of a $300000000.00 euro fund to compensate those who have suffered they want that money to cover the losses from their losses so far but also to cover any tax increases the wine exporters say this was a political decision to give those subsidies to airbus and they've been caught in the middle of something that has nothing to do with them and they're even more concerned that they could be even further tax hikes around the corner this is over
5:26 am
the dispute between the u.s. and france over the so-called gas attacks this is a tax on digital giants so last month president try to ease the pain and said you know what we are talking with us and we are going to look for a solution to this. group discussion with trump and digital tyrants will work together on the good agreement to avoid tariff. well that is not easing concerns because there is a suggestion that that 25 percent tax could be raised all the way up 200 percent and that many say would completely decimate the industry here now we are expecting an announcement in regards to that from the u.s. later this week city watch this space on that but many say even if that's avoided and there is an agreement the damage has already been done and that's because french products of already lost shelf space in the u.s. market that was a market that took me years to conquer and they say reconquest of that market may

just not be possible. but he's under his claim victory in the 2nd round of the democrats' presidential candidate race in new hampshire however the vermont senator has a real battle on his hands from people to judge with support for signs on the rise president trump even acknowledged that he could have a tough to win reelection in november. frankly i would rather run against bloomberg than bernie sanders because senator is real followers where they like him and whether you agree with them on that i happen to think it's terrible what he says but he has followers bloomberg is buying his way. meanwhile 2 more democratic hopefuls have dropped out of colorado senator michael bennet and entrepreneur. leaves 9 in the race as things stand right now barack obama's vice president joe biden canceled his new hampshire event instead going on the campaign trail in south carolina biden and his nearest rival elizabeth warren have failed to win any
5:28 am
delegates in a primary. lawyer a new york city council candidate money alaska told me that the average democrat supporter wants a major overhaul of the party. interesting i made the mainstream media even events the night when sanders is winning their very quiet you know like nobody is like jumping up and down the jubilee that sandra swan and all the mainstream media america they're still talking about who to judge but you know what senators that was not know who to judge and so it's interesting you see there there is definitely a state in this is really a progressive candidate against a centrist candidate and it's they're both sort of fighting for the soul of the democratic party and it's actually the fight that the party should whether to be transformed you know so it is really the party of the working people and not corporations or issued state it's status quo very centrist and i think what you're seeing and with sanders winning new hampshire. i think you're seeing that americans
5:29 am
they want transformative change ok that's it from a thanks for watching cayman islands here in the coming hours to keep you up to speed on all the stories were across here at all to h.q. but i think for me a great thing. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to sell fractional food on my table it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids and ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments there's a lot of conflict in the game between the 2 most of the conflict i would say. that money has made. us want each other. each other is good because
5:30 am
the state of california makes 6000000000 dollars a year of prison complexes you get some 20 year life where. you don't care. so you care mind anything. we know in psychology that the more people are told that they can't or shouldn't do something whether it's sexual or otherwise the more it makes them want to do it and so trying new things violating taboos are some of the most common and pervasive elements in our sexual fantasies.
