china has now confirmed a 4th death from the corona virus and says it's being transmitted between humans there's now concern about so who spread as off to one man and will hunt infected 14 medical staff more than 200 people have now been infected but scientists warn that number is actually likely to be far higher than the world health organization will meet on wednesday to consider declaring the outbreak an international public health emergency cases have now been confirmed in thailand south korea and japan and there are fears that it may have spread outside of asia to a man was quarantined in a strain on his return from china. we've got one gentleman that we're just following at the moment who has travelled to work and has developed a response to this but he says he's for covering his heart and so it was done. and the spread of that virus is also discussed as a meeting of japan's cabinet where they've confirmed one case. with the number of patients of coronavirus continuing to increase in china caution is needed for this reason based on the response policies decided today the minister of health labor and welfare and other related mrs fu the strength and coastline corn tunisia's who let's take a closer look at this new virus it's being cast to find in a family of viruses that cause symptoms ranging from the common cold to saw as severe acute respiratory syndrome that killed nearly 800 people worldwide back in 2003 and chinese authorities suspect the virus originated in a seafood and meat market in the city of wood and thought that the virus made a species to species jump there's a 10 day delay between infection and detection and that includes an incubation period and then a further delay before hospital admission while katrina you has more from beijing she's explaining the measures taken by the government to try to contain this outbreak. this afternoon we just received a statement from the government saying there are new measures in place for those in the city tour groups will not be allowed to leave on cars are being randomly checked for poultry and other wild animals it's understood that this may have come from a wild animal from field and all public buses must now be sanitized on a daily basis and people who have any travel tickets out of able to freely exchange those tickets or apply for a refund so this is increasingly being taken more and more seriously we also heard from hong kong an expert in hong kong who has experience in dealing with the saws crisis in 2003 and he mentioned that there are estimates that there could be more than 1500 people at 700 people with this virus and that up to 20 cities could be affected of course at the moment we only have confirmed cases in in guangdong in shanghai and beijing and suspected cases in other provinces throughout china rosso hearing that this virus there might be some cases not only in history earlier but also potentially live from this is a major concern for the government and why president xi jinping on monday evening released a statement saying that this is going to be a priority for the government to make sure that the people have a safe and a stable chinese new year we have hundreds of millions of chinese traveling across the country and outside of the country for this major public holiday this is the christmas of china and millions of people going in and out and hunted self is a major transport hub a population of 11000000 people well earlier i spoke to benjamin khouri who is a specialist on infectious diseases at the peter doherty institute for infection and immunity he says it's possible that the virus will mutate as it transfers between humans. all indications would suggest that this does is a virus that has crossed the species barrier which indeed was the case for saas and also for the most current of our us which arose in the middle east and as so many from 2012 i would score significant down perhaps there that's also suggested by the fact that it was initially opinion logically very strongly linked to that modified food and seafood market in. and it may well be the case that ultimately. a different mammalian or bad species is identified as being the host sorry it has crossed the species barrier what we can see then is that as viruses progress through human to human transmission they can change and certainly the past need to infect more people who can become a higher infected right to a higher more virulent but sometimes we see through the course of an epidemic that the actual pathogen is that you are the severity of the illnesses drop that maybe due to some bar or factors of a time it can also be due to the fact that testing expands into people with lists of the illness maybe those who have been presented to hospitals and side of the people who are being tested and those who have mala forms of the disease and it's early days when we see this happen as the other investigations occur in china and elsewhere well moving on now and u.s. president on a trying to set to deliver a headliner mox at the wild economic forum in the same day his impeachment trial is due in the senate trump says that he is attending the gathering in the swiss town of davos despite the impeachment proceedings in order to encourage investments in the united states the global political and business elites are also said to hear from teenage activist press a ton bag with climate expected to top the agenda that the countries need to cooperate on multiple fronts to raise grow old and spread prosperity the need to reverse protectionist trade measures a result the impasse over the world trade organizations appellate court. they must adopt strategies to limit the rise in temperatures of the severe consequences of weather related national disasters the new international taxation regime is needed to adapt to the growing digital economy and to curtail tax avoidance and evasion while assuring that all countries receive their fair share of tax revenues or protesters are also calling on wild vegas to do more to tackle climate change hundreds of activists have marched for 3 days across with us they say those attending the meeting are largely responsible for the climate crisis well our diplomatic editor james bays joins us live now from davos jane is one of those attending as we've been saying is u.s. president donald trump and he is expected to speak in just a few hours any idea what he's likely to say. well actually the president landed in switzerland air force one landed about half an hour ago we're expecting him in the next few minutes the sound of helicopters over our heads landing here in the hall so what is he going to talk about he's the special address at the start of this meeting of the world economic forum the 50th year of course taking place here and i suspect you're not going to hear a lot of what is the main theme of this year's gathering which is the climate because clearly president trump is somebody pulled out of the international climate deal the paris climate deal nearly 3 years ago and he is here or morsi is a very important day for his presidency here on the day that is a preachment trial starts in the senate there was lots of talk about this trip possibly being council of the last minute but he's gone ahead with it his advisors clearly wanting him to be seen as presidential all the world stage on this around economic leaders from around the world at a time when there are stock market highs the economy clearly is the one big selling point of the trump presidency and verities where. they want the attention to be on this were clearly a lot of the focus will be all mad impeachment trial which starts in just a matter of hours james while trump is in town he might also run into question turning back you understand this and given pretty much top billing this year. for and you get the sense that there's a real shift here towards carbonized the economy. she does have top billing you look at the official program and her picture is there 1st. above anyone else and she has been one of the 1st speakers in fact she's on the stage assertion that started about half an hour ago talking about climate change. but there have been achievements in the last year she and the you spearheaded this campaign but she says it's only the beginning and really we haven't got to grips with the real crisis as i say she's been speaking already on the cheer president trump speaking in about 2 and a half hours time and immediately after his speech she then has a 2nd address to the world economic forum so her appearances sandwich the presidents is she actually going to meet president trump remember they did see other and she certainly gave her a withering glare back in september the u.n. general assembly will actually meet it's not clear she has recently said she has very little to say to someone who doesn't listen to science james there are diplomatic editor he is across all happenings and of us for us thank you very much j. . well as we've been saying while u.s. president on trial was in davos after months of arguments and build up his impeachment trial is set to begin in the senate later on she is today trying to accuse of abusing the powers of his office by trying to force ukraine's media to investigate a political rival and of obstructing congress as investigation alan fischer takes a look at the events that led up to this point. this was the day after donald trump to call for us. exactly 3 years on he no faces a trial in the u.s. senate which could make that a reality it's an historic moment and it started in july last year with what should have been a routine phone call from his desk in the oval office donald trump called the president of ukraine a whistle blower was worried about what they had about the phone call and filed a complaint and that a letter to congress the allegation president trump was holding back hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid meant for ukraine and it would be sent if the ukrainian president announced an investigation into trump's political rival former vice president joe biden and his son hunter who want to new crane don't trump didn't understand the fuss i made a call the call was perfect he released the transcript but it seemed to cause more trouble the key section as the ukrainian president promises to buy more u.s. missiles trump responds i would like you to do is a favor though he asks for investigations into debunked conspiracy theory about the election and later brings up the biden's asking for help from foreign governments that could impact u.s. elections is against the law the president must be held accountable no one is about the law the democrats who control the house of representatives announced an impeachment inquiry would begin the white house refused to cooperate several career diplomats came forward anyway. the testified under oath what the whistleblower said was true colonel alexander vivan was on the call to reported it to white house lawyers is improper for the president of the united states to demand a foreign government investigate a u.s. citizen and a political opponent the former u.s. ambassador testified that she was removed from her position after the president's personal lawyer rudy giuliani pushed to get her removed and ukrainians who prefer to play by the old corrupt rules sought to remove or continues to amaze me is that they found americans willing to partner with them and working together they apparently succeeded in orchestrating the removal of a u.s. ambassador others said a small group of people close to the president were running a kind of shadow back channel u.s. policy in ukraine it became clear to me that giuliani's efforts to gin up politically motivated investigations are now infecting u.s. engagement with ukraine leveraging president selenski desire for a white house meeting. then came testimony from embassador gordon sawn blend he told congress the new ukrainian president wanted a white house meeting and he knew what he hired to do to get it investigate the biden's was there a quid pro quo as i testified previously with regard to the requested white house call and the white house meeting the answer is yes sunderland was a $1000000.00 donor to the president's inauguration he was rewarded with the job of ambassador to the utopian union as he was a key player week ukraine and insisted senior figures knew what was going on everyone was in the loop the suggestion that we were engaged in some irregular or robe diplomacy is absolutely false the democrats of delivered 2 articles of impeachment one for of use of poa the 2nd foot of struction of congress to key facts have not changed that are critical to these impeachment proceedings one ukraine in fact received he aid and to there was no investigation into the biden's throughout it all present trump insists he did nothing wrong we're achieving what no administration has ever achieve before and why do i get out of it tell me i get impeach that's what i get out it by these radical left lunatics i get him paged do you solemnly swear no the senate has been sworn into act as a 100 strong judy in the trial of president trump this is only the 3rd presidential impeachment trial in american history when the trial gets under way there may be witnesses there may be new evidence there will be votes or not there will be long days and at the end it will take 2 thirds of the senate to vote to convict the president and remove him from office alan fischer al jazeera washington paul still ahead on al-jazeera violence on the streets of iraq as frustration grows ever lack of political reforms. or. how

sporadically the police all firing take out of the protesters to draw and disperse them but as you can see they are gathering of a larger number. now european union foreign ministers have agreed to

that there is no military solution to the crisis in libya despite the fact that haftar and his forces do not believe in diplomacy nor a political process we hope that half stars our allies and supporters have also come to this conclusion and would recalculate their moves in order to revive this political process. oh the half dozen battling to take over the capital since i broke and fighting
