a disgraceful hoax china's fear of super spirit is as it confirms human to human transmission of a new virus and the toll climbs again. feel like there is a. young libyans wonder whether their future lies abroad because of the continuing fight for control the. world number one rafael nadal is through to the 2nd round of the australian open advancing his speed. record of 20 grand slam titles. he was president donald trump has delivered an upbeat headline address the world economic forum in switzerland that says the final details of his impeachment trial was set to be hammered out on the other side of the atlantic trump told the gathering of political and business elite that america was experiencing an economic boom like never before he dismissed what he called prophecies of doom as concerns over climate change over chouteau the summit. this is not a time for pessimism this is a time for optimism fear and doubt is not a good thought process because this is a time for tremendous hope and joy and optimism in action but to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse ahead of his address trump responded to queries i for why he chose to be in davos instead of washington at such a critical time for his presidency the way he'll be meeting with world leaders is the biggest most important people in the world and we're bringing back tremendous business it ignited states and they're all here to see me make it a speech and then we'll be leaving shortly but i think it's very important that the others just a hoax it's the witch hunt that's been going on for years and it's frankly it's disgraceful well a diplomat here to the giants but he's joins us now live from davos and joins us with a very optimistic and upbeat donald trump. yes those words you just heard were not in the speech it was going into the speech and that is the only time so far since he's arrived in dallas has been here for several hours now that he's mentioned the r word and we all know from following his recent comments from what he said in recent days on twitter he is obsessed by impeachment but a very conscious decision i think in a speech that was more than 30 minutes long not to mention the upcoming impeachment trial that has been so discussed in the american media and that actually starts formally in the senate in a matter of hours instead very clearly they have decided to use divorce as a backdrop a backdrop for president trying to sell his economic message i'm sure there will be some will be going through some of the list of facts that he gave out doing some fact checking but certainly he presented a very bullish view of the u.s. economy it said it was a very inclusive economy said the poorest were doing better under a trump presidency and even made claims about the environment that the u.s. had the cleanest air and the cleanest water a very upbeat optimistic i would say campaign approach to his speech here in davos terms campaign indeed he may have been speaking in davos but this was a message very much for back home in an election year saying look i've delivered on what i promised. absolutely it was aimed at the audience back home but i think the backdrop was not just this scris ski resort the backdrop was this global business that is the also this world economic forum's will go on for 30 years this is a club that president really enjoys being a member of remember all his time as a business leader as the head of the trump organization they never asked him to speak. and now i think he gets the validation of this invitation we know from accounts 2 years ago when he was here it was one of the events he enjoyed the most he's back here i think in an environment where he feels comfortable and an environment where his advisors thinks he looks good he looks presidential he's on the global stage it's the perfect environment they think a distraction a divorce distraction of what's to come in the senate in a matter of hours time jones thank you for that now while leaders meet in davos protesters who blame them for the climate change crisis are demanding action to protect the planet hundreds of activists across with bartz 3 days to the ski resort to make their voices heard and they're demanding the end of investment in fossil fuels and reforms to the global economy to save the environment which on the whole is davos and he joins us now live and while donald trump is accusing climate change activists of being prophets of doom we've also been hearing the urgency of their campaign and particularly through the words of gratitude. yes absolutely the world economic forum has made climate and environment major issues at this davos forum not least because its own global risks analysis survey released annually discovered that the top 5 risks to the planet in the long term all involve climate change and environmental destruction. gratitude of course given top billing here alongside president trump he's known to be a major climate skeptic in that speech that we heard from donald trump they were perhaps the most tepid signs of optimism for climate activists watching because he didn't simply reject the whole idea he didn't simply ignore the whole idea he did pay it some attention by saying that the u.s. would join up to this 1000000 trillion trees initiative being launched here at davos it's a public private initiative to plant trees around the world to boost reforest rope forestation to sequester some $200.00 gigatons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere over the coming 10 years and that will be held aloft i think by the world economic forum in terms of its climate agenda as a major achievement climate activists. among them it's important to say have already said look planting trees is important but it's simply not enough and we've heard twice this morning from gratitude on 2 different panels saying most recently our house is still on fire echoing the words she used a year ago here your inaction talking to business leaders here is fueling the flames by the hour she says her fight the fight of global activists has only just begun much more needs to be done take a listen this is not about rights or lefts. we couldn't care less about your party politics from sustainability perspective the rights the left's as well as the center have all failed. no political ideology or economic structure has been able to tackle the climates and environmental emergency and create a cohesive and sustainable. because that world in case you haven't noticed is currently on fire but it's extraordinary that gratitude berg's global activism began just 18 months ago with those school strikes in sweden now of course a global movement this is her 2nd visit to davos we met up with last year when she was strolling the streets of davos along with her father a relative unknown now of course the world's most prominent global climate activist here alongside donald trump as i said arguably the world's most famous famous climate denier but i think for most people here it is gretta tomba as much as the president if not more that they want to see and listen to china thank you john a whole lot for us from davos. so lots going on in the swiss alps but while trump is in davos after months of arguments and build up his impeachment trial is set to begin in the senate later on tuesday senate republican leader mitch mcconnell has proposed rules for president donald trump's impeachment trial and they're designed to win the proceedings as quickly as possible before more on this we're joined by our white house correspondent kimberly helped it uncritically believe is the question of these rules and whether we will hear from witnesses and whether we will hear new evidence being tended as will at this trial. yeah let me give you a sense of what this is going to look like today and given the fact that these rules are being presented as a resolution by the top republican in the u.s. senate mitch mcconnell there controversy old the democratic side in the top democrat in the u.s. senate chuck schumer is in fact calling them a national disgrace why is he so angry he's angry because he does want to force witnesses he's certainly going to try but it appears likely to fail what we know and why democrats are so angry is that the republicans have pushed forward a resolution that will be formally presented that essentially is going to compress this trial into a very tight celebrated timeline so what that means is the impeachment managers from the house of representatives they're like the prosecutors they're going to have just 24 hours stretched over 2 days to present their case the president's defense team they'll have that same time live what it means is we could see this all condensed really into about 4 days arguing into the wee hours of the morning and essential what this could mean is this could all wrap up before february 4th a very important day what is that important day it's the president's state of the union address where he could be facing the congress that in fact has impeached him so it appears designed for a swift acquittal in all of this but again this is something that as we set off about 800 g.m.t. it appears to be quite controversial among democrats as you point out or trying to force witnesses can we thank you complete lot for you today from washington d.c. . well mom is al-jazeera senior political analyst and he's here to talk research all of this by the impeachment and what we've heard from donald trump in davos let's start 1st with davos and yes he respects being in switzerland but this is to be heard back in the united states isn't it absolutely i mean. this was or to be the antidote for what's going on in washington and that's why he would go on for 2025 minutes of course would not mention each month once rather as i said earlier he would be trumpeting some structured as it were in order to show how he can boast to ward leaders political and business leaders about america's greatness and him being so great himself being presidential and all that sends a contrast if you work to the american people that while the democrats are doing their little dirty business in the basement as it were he is at the world stage doing america's business and talking up america's economy america's leadership of the world he's really he's economic record in office as well well you know i just listen to for refreshing my memory listen to the 2018. speech he gave a davos and it's there are some buses incredible actually almost the same brackets with the same ideas and even the break up of the speeches very similar. talking about how his record is so great and all of that but what struck me different this time around is unlike his speeches of the 1st 2 years was he talked about the american carnage now he was all full of optimism talking about confidence that kind of the hopefulness and so on so forth others who are the prophets of doom now and he was a prophet of doom when he took office absolutely and again that goes into the idea that he's projecting the kind of confidence knowing that he's probably going to pass this impeachment trial and trying to tell the world america still in business and as he said then and now open for business just on the question of that impeachment trial and you know because the republicans control the senate there is the expectation of the inevitable acquittal of donald trump but is there more to this than that if there are indeed witnesses called if the reason new evidence tended is the damage for donald trump and beyond that damage for the republicans given this is an election year the thing is that the polarization both in congress and among the american people is so great that it's very hard to detect where the truth and the false ideas and where the accusation of the counteraccusations are credible and in congress the split is so deep that of course the democrats would accuse that their process and the house oprah presenting the was all manufactured in the basement and was all not credible and they were in the world of the senate leader playing with the constitution now it is that them across that are accusing the republican leadership of the senate of playing with the constitutions and. basically. masterminding a cover up for busy the president when the situation is so dire when the when the when that with the accusation is so important. talking about of course the abuse of power by the president using his office for private profit in this case winning the next election again i think this being so short on all of us who probably has some dents in the public opinion i'm not sure this is going to be enduring because let's all remember the elections is still some 11 months down the road let me ask you about the impeachment trial i suppose what we heard from donald trump today in davos is will is being received internationally how does the international community see what it's playing out in the united states given the u.s. is seen still as being the essential power in the world you know it's not just a sense of power it's actually also you know the beacon of flight when it numbs to democracy if you will i mean let's not all. forget that this is a country that's 200 plus years democracy and that is has endured in so many ways with its liberal democratic and republican principles and values and every once in a while we see it tested and this is one of those times that we see tested is this a government of laws or is a government of the people because it's supposed to be a government by the people for the people but once again we see this major crisis if you will what by a president as many sets in a majority of the house of representatives think he was not acting presidential and that he was in fact violating the law and in this sort of public no one is above the law when internationally people look at this they actually i am sure most people out on the world look at my own ringley at a country that can put its leader even a leader that you know claims of boasts. of doing such and such greatness still put him on trial as it were if he violates the law this is something that you would never for example see in a place like the middle east except that evolution that would probably put the president like president mubarak for example otherwise we don't see any such thing on the other hand i think not much is expected of this president as the commander in chief. since he is so preoccupied by that by impeachment then later on by elections that he will not be as effective on the world stage certainly not in terms of conflict resolution certainly not in projecting american leadership and hence people will probably be very unexpected if you will of the united states in the next months or so moment thank you moshe are joining us that is putting more head on the news hour including india's supreme court prepares to begin hearing appeals on a controversial citizenship. nationwide protests. thousands of people in

new virus is causing increasing concern in asia doctors in china say the brits praetorian fiction has killed 6 people and infected almost 300 as it spreads it's also been confirmed that the corona virus can be transmitted between people increasing worries of so-called super spiritus i dream brown as bull from hong kong . china's tightly controlled state media says the mysterious virus has now spread to some of the country's major cities. in addition to more deaths new infections including hospital workers. and for the 1st time confirmation that this respiratory virus can be passed from person to person by means it's usual some cases happened in 2 places one in guangdong the other one where human to human transmission has been confirmed that the disease was 1st identified in wu hand late last year the majority of the confirmed cases of the virus in china are here but a handful have also been identified in other parts of asia where authorities are ramping up their defenses with a mandatory screening of air passengers from who had this week china becomes a nation in motion as people travel home to mark the new lunar new year but many are also traveling overseas and from will

another virus called sars severe acute respiratory syndrome claimed the lives of around 800 people almost 300 of them in neighboring hong kong at 1st china's leaders asserted there have been only a handful of cases but later admitted providing false information about the epidemic a city mayor and health minister revenge sacked professor olio pune of hong kong university was one of the 1st scientists to decode the sars virus he says the city has improved its disease control work but he and other scientists were racing to understand this new virus is it very efficient or not. right now we only know that there's a limited human to human transmission but what does that mean we need data to actually come up more our career estimation so it's a race against time. i agree we need more information pharmacies are stocking up on face masks the growing health emergency across the border now replacing media coverage of the young going protests demanding political reform and while there is no panic there is deepening concern adrian brown al-jazeera hong kong. security forces are trying to clear protestors in iraq is a new wave of demonstrations spreads across the country. in the southern city of basra police officers attempted to remove barricades while in baghdad protesters fought back against security forces with rocks and fire bombs at least 5 protesters were killed in the latest round of violence after police opened fire in the capital on monday assad binge of a joins us now from baghdad just tell us what you're hearing about these latest round of protests. well at least one protester has been killed today in this ongoing clashes between security forces and protesters what protesters have been trying to do is choke off major points leading to the capital baghdad and our trees going through it at the moment some freeway there have been clashes and in one such clash one protester was killed today and more than 14 we've been told by activists have been injured as well there have also been injuries on the police side because protesters have been throwing molotov cocktails as well as stones and this is this all started on monday when the deadline to give in to the government to and what the protesters called a reign of corruption expired and protesters are saying that they want to tell the government that they will come out and forth they will remind them that they have pushed this government out of power and they will continue to come out until the government has the demand we've been hearing from protesters from all corners of the country you mentioned buster there's also been protesters in divine in another of karbala and other parts of the country including wasit where what were the protesters are doing that they will come on to the major highways they would block the roads burned tires blocked traffic and then there would be clashes between the security forces and the protesters some of these clashes have resulted in injuries in other cases the roads have been reopened only to be closed again so that what the protesters are telling the government is that there are enough time has passed you are not listening to our demands yes you did push out the government but what happens next how are you going to make sure that there is no corruption services are maintained and the influence of foreign powers including the u.s. and iran is taken out of iraqi politics and the leaders who rule them are honest people and not part of the current political elite so some of that does raise the question of how does the government to be wrong but whether the government is prepared to deliver on but whether the government is capable of delivering on those demands. well the 1st thing that the government needs to do is to form a permanent government the politicians need to come up with a name that all parties can agree on and that is a divisive issue whether you talk to the sunnis the kurds the shia led groks because they want their their person to be in power when this crucial time passes where there's going to be amendments to the constitution where the future course of action of iraq is going to be laid out and then there is foreign interference protesters allege it is from coming from the united states as well as iran and that is going to be a very difficult task to come up with a name which is agreeable to all sides we've heard names that have been proposed before which have been rejected immediately by protesters and the moment one of the names is leaked to the media you see a picture of that person and the allegations against their corruption because anyone that the that the government and their allies try to push forward has to be somebody they know and everyone who they know as we at some point part of the government and according to protesters that's not something they want so it is a very difficult time for the political process in iraq but it is a divisive issue which has divided everyone and the street seem adamant that unless they see new faces not just a change of face with the same ideology they want to see a complete revamp of iraq's political system and it is likely that this will take on much longer and has already gone on since october the 25th and more than 500 people have been killed and 25000 wounded in these ongoing protests a summer thank you. european union foreign

year olds don't really know what it means it was a common gesture in the revolution 9 years ago now it's being used as libya is mired in conflict once again this school in tripoli has been hit 3 times by rockets these children are caught in the middle of a fight between government forces and those led by warlords khalifa haftar and they are learning about death and destruction 50 percent of the $450.00 peoples at this school is said to be suffering from trauma. with war destruction and indiscriminate shelling this is an extremely hard and difficult psychological impact on the children can see many are completely broken and they have no desire to continue their education. it's not a good time to be young in libya life is precarious the economy is suffering and the staples of life will become luxuries and once they finish school the opportunities are limited to us the sky's the limit but in when you kind of live in libya that limit is kind of you know decreased. more and more are leaving they prefer to take their chances abroad and stay and face unemployment and hardship at home 100000 students at tripoli university just half of them are expected to find a job after graduation. many have left their studies to fight because the government did not give to the use the opportunity to study in these hard times it's destroyed the future of half of young. men let me make my last year in the middle of nowhere i wish i could leave who doesn't hope for that when a country cannot guarantee you a job abroad they show appreciation that you're educated. there are no official statistics of how many of the young educated are leaving but everyone agrees it's not an insignificant number next to achieving a lasting peace here the biggest challenge is going to be how to stop the departure flow of libya's young talent before it becomes a flood. at this intellectual form they're trying to do that by helping people set up their own businesses like so large and utilize the sentence you feel like there is no hope if you have a lot of them are trying to go upward and various you know departments of that very special seed but it's it's very worrying because

who say they're doing the best they can to provide the very basic needs that civilians need behind me is financial assistance being given out to residents they're being made to sign their financial assistance record and we've spoken to civilians evacuees who say no matter how small the amount they are grateful because they can slowly save enough money to rebuild their homes medical assistance is
