His presidency on the line dont want trunk leaves the United States he opened the World Economic forum in davos switzerland today by posting about u. S. Economy saying america is winning like never before but teenage activists credit she says that leaders like trump are failing to avert a climate catastrophe and sounding the alarm to Chinese State media reporting a 6th person as the phone with that new Coronavirus International airports train stations are screening passengers from china concerned bros as Health Officials with the virus can be passed from human to human plus as all straw use wildfires burn some of the countrys unique wild wife tonight now a mother and her songs are doing their part to help save the king a route. Im burnt goff its good to have you with us and we start in the United States history being made at this hour donald trump is now the 3rd president in u. S. History to face possible remove all from office by a trial the u. S. Senate is the setting for his impeachment trial where truck faces charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress Congressional democrats say that drunk condition Critical Military funding for ukraine on ukraines help in hurting a potential political opponent in the 2020 election and then that he tried to cover it up republicans and trumps legal team say that trumps actions were appropriate neither illegal nor impeachable the senate will spend hours today debating rules for the trial of the leaders of the 2 Political Parties in the Chamber RepublicanMajority Leader Mitch Mcconnell and democratic minority leader Chuck Schumer presented their cases for and against the resolution that sets the rules for this trial mcconnell calls it fair and he says its based on the bill clinton impeachment trial back in 1999 she says it is anything but heres part of what they had to say today finally some tire. On every point are straightforward resolution will bring the clarity and fairness that everyone deserves this will go down this resolution as one of the darker moments in the senate history. Perhaps one of the even the darkest senator graham to pick up and carry on the house was an adequate investigation which set a new precedent that could in son of a very quick and hasty impeachment from future House Majority leader mcconnell claim that the house is run have ran the most rushed least storrow and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history the truth is leader mcconnell is plotting the most rushed least storrow and most unfair impeachment trial in modern history fair is fair the process was good enough for president clinton and basic fairness to coach it all to be good enough for this president as well the rules are not even close to the clinton rules unlike the clinton rules the mcconnell resolution does not admit the record of the house impeachment proceedings into evidence so leader mcconnell wants a trial with no existing evidence and no new evidence a trial without evidence is not a trial its a cover up a cover up that was minority leader there Chuck Schumer lets take the story now to washington and on capitol hill where that trial is taking place our Washington Bureau chief alexander phenomena good evening to you alexander so walk us through the arguments of the 2 sides what have we heard so far. So as we could see for her to be here right now was to pose asides questioning over the rules for the impeachment trial with the democrats complaining that the republicans want to rush through the process that day by doing so wants to cover up hurt the president misconduct and the democrats want to subpoena additional documents they want to depose additional witnesses witnesses who appear to be willing to testify in the senate trial witnesses such as the former white houses security adviser. Or other witnesses but the republican say lets stick with our rules lets hear the case out and then lets just side whether we would like to depose witnesses and subpoena documents and in all of that of course president charms legal team is weighing in saying that the president did nothing wrong and that the charges brought against him dont amount to impeachable offenses you know only gentlemen to make sure our viewers are clear about this the trial is taking place in the u. S. Senate weve got live pictures i think also show of the trial as its taking place right now in the senate has been a place where bipartisan agreements have been the rule for the most part even the rules for the clinton trial impeachment trial those rules were agreed on unanimously are we see anything like that this tone. Not at all i have to say what was put on display so far was the partisan divisions on capitol hill and Mitch Mcconnell the Senate Majority leader is convinced and confidence that in the end he has to move forward and to ignore the democrats demands. However there are reports saying that he might be considering changing for posts rules a little bit sort of. Show that he is ready to compromise bits in this case and we know the u. S. President he is on this side of the atlantic right now he was here for the World Economic forum in davos what does it tell us how nervous is the trumpet ministration going into this trial. I think that this is very telling that President Trump left washington on this very important historic day and decided to participate in the world to Economic Forum to tell it cannot make policies as if he would like us to believe that he doesnt care about his team is of course nervous they know that President Trump wants swift acquittal but they also know that the senate trial is likely to film in the headlines in the coming days and weeks the lights will respond alexander phenomena on capitol hill where the impeachment trial of u. S. President donald trump is taking place alexander thank you. As well as Lawmakers Debate his impeachment back home donald trump hes in the swiss alps opened the World Economic forum in davos switzerland in a speech today trump held a recent trade deal with china and he boasted of the strings of his countrys economy but its clashing visions on Climate Change that are taking center stage high in the alps returning to the summit for a 2nd year the swedish climate campaigner gratitude she also spoke she said leaders like trump have failed to protect her generation from a coming climate chaos. Leaving behind the heat of impeachment trials few could blame donald trump for seeking out some medicinal alpine. The us president was in divorce to address the global elite but in this selection year his message was meant for households across the u. S. America is thriving america is flourishing and yes america is winning again like never before with just days after reaching a breakthrough with china trump sees this speech to bang the drum for his america 1st approach and these agreements represent a new model of trade for the 21st century agreements that are fair reciprocal and their priority is the needs of workers and families but as well as business this years conference was supposed to deal with the growing plummet crisis with activists like gratitude summoned to rebuke the powerful you say children shouldnt worry you say just leave this to us we will fix this we promise we wont let you down dont be so pessimistic and then nothing. While davos chuen in one man was enormous for lectures 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 all it was an image that left an impression you an honest answer is live it odd. Its because its just mainly all of us i feel little. I think that leaders have to take our not only about themselves but also about other nations because we have the same collective planets he does some good figs were his worthless if you go to think beyond that much more. I propped up the job of lauding his economic record he left a flurry of questions in his week not least more cost to the world he will leave behind. Certainly one of the more bizarre moments weve seen. On this im joined now by my colleague. Is covering the World Economic forum for a skit he needs a huge i mean we had the u. S. President s a day talking about profits of doom and fortune tellers of course hinting at Climate Change there what was the reaction. Well the reaction was of course a lot of criticism against the u. S. President not only because he didnt really mention Climate Change whatsoever in his speech sensually suggesting that its completely irrelevant but most of all because his idea is quite simple his message was essentially hey weve had problems in the past before that we thought we couldnt solve and we somehow figured it out so why are we also stressed about this and that is something that of course is a slap in the face for all those organizations and scientists that are working very hard to find solutions to tackle the Climate Crisis but especially it is being criticized because of one of the measures that we that we saw suggested by donald trump which is planting. A trillion trees. This has been compared to other very Simple Solutions like the border wall to mexico where many of the experts say this is a solution perhaps that can have an effect but its definitely not a solution for such a complex problem thats true and we know the gridded to embarrass you picked up on that comment in her speech today saying planting trees is certainly not enough to stop Climate Change she also said that combating Climate Change is not about politics take a listen to what she said. From sustainability perspective the rights the left 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 world. Because that world in case you havent noticed is currently on fire you know the worlds on fire and. There you know winds beyond her years saying that an entire generation not just one side of the political spectrum here is responsible for Climate Change what else did she say today. Well perhaps the most Important Message that she wanted to deliver is that time is running out we have seen this before but she at this time specifically mentioned the plans that are being announced as a reaction to speeches like hers and to the ones that say that there is a Climate Emergency we see Many Companies and governments that announce plans where it says they are going to achieve some kind of goal by 2040 by 2050 but that of course in true includes a transitioning time for for example giving up fossil fuels and she says that this has to happen immediately that emissions have to be brought to 0 right now and not to net 0 as has been suggested meaning that the emissions are not going to grow no they dont have to stop growing to have to stop completely that is what get a tumor wanted World Leaders to hear and the other thing even though she did not mention donald trump directly but there was a stark contrast aside from the tree plan that dollars from presented and it is that she said that we cannot rely on technologies that have not been invented yet hinting at Donald Trumps optimistic message that we will somehow figure everything out. Reminds you of johnson and his solutions in the brics a crisis with the border with Northern Ireland my colleague is there in davos switzerland thank you. For heres some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world protesters in puerto rico are demanding the resignation of the territorys governor over the botched delivery of emergency aid after recent earthquakes that left thousands in need public anger erupted over a viral video showing a government warehouse full of supplies left over from Hurricane Maria back in 2017 russian Authorities Say 11 people have died in a fire that destroyed a workers shack in siberia most of the victims were migrants from stan a Chinese Company use the hut as a dormitory for sole mill workers.

Once and he did a one i think the outbreak is in its early stage and. There they have been more than 100 cases this is a small number compared to the population of 100 which is more than 10000000 become the why people feel we need to be on high alert the outbreak can be totally reversed even measures are taken now and shoddy. Told with teeth Health Authorities believe the virus originated at this now closed market in ruhani which stilled fish and wild animals the outbreak coincides with the Lunar New Year holiday the busiest travel time in china on the streets concern is growing. Could be all my using calico of course im worried i just went to buy mosques i tried buying mosques around my neighborhood before leaving but they were all sold out im worried because so many people will be traveling shot. Wonders. Does it all result honestly on us i have no idea which reports to believe i just trust my instincts im not that confident that authorities have the situation under control i think the number of infected could be far more than a reported.

And our correspondent harvey encroachments is covering the corona Virus Outbreak in john. The numbers of infections by this new mysterious corona virus are increasing and also the concern among the public here in china is growing stronger you can see that literally because every 2nd passer by in downtown beijing is a wearing a face mask nowadays if you look around the pharmacies the markets and also Online Stores then the supplies of face must are running out. Actually many young people they have a feeling that they might not be very well and very accurately informed by the government offered his behalf a feeling that the threat of the viruses is actually bigger than what is being reported in the official news. However we have reason to assume that the authorities he. In beijing and in the whole country are very well prepared to take a bit of virus because china already had to deal with a similar experience namely the pandemic in 20022003 that killed more than 600 chinese and since then 1st of all the Research Infrastructure and also the medical equipment in the hospitals there has been proof vest and also the authorities have the chance to learn from them mistakes that they did in the past they were not very transparent in dealing with sars but now it seems that they give this new threat by the coronavirus a high priority. And that was all being crushed by their reporting from beijing when the hand that feeds you also hurts you in the west african Country Farmers often see no alternative but to migrate to europe some find work here as laborers or massive vegetable forms was harvested forms tomatoes for example are often candid exported globally and that includes to guyana and as an exclusive documentary shows its precisely these competitors imports that are making the life hard for farmers in ghana. Benedict is a tomato farmer. And gonna central farming region. She grows tomatoes on about i think tariff land but even then the harvests are good shes barely getting by would. They be asked weve had to buy water every day for about one and a half months thatll continue until the rainy season starts we have lots of problems thats why its so hard to survive in. The moment. Because all of the domestic tomato processing plants have stopped production and other farmers are only able to sell to the socalled market queens dealers who resell the tomatoes and other cities theres an oversupply in the high season and so the prices drop to almost nothing but within the next 2 weeks ago we sold these crates for twice as much. If theres no demand like today and we fam a smaller less just give the crates away. We sell them at any price. All money and its all you. Need to quantock Financial Difficulties led benedict as husband to go to europe where he works as a farm laborer in italy he is able to send money home every month to provide for his family and pay his childrens tuition.

Even if they work hard for morning until night the men receive at most 20 to 30 euros a day. Who no one in africa would believe how we work here. Abandoned houses huts and tents in the middle of fields where theres no water no plumbing no power or heating the farmhands live here and many have done so for several years. How many years i spent in this country and my country. No really. To have. Without. They only have cell phone contact with the relatives benedicta hasnt seen her husband for a long time.

This situation has moved a group of fallen tears seamstresses half a world away to take action. Here in quetta in southern poland these women are sewing 50 pouches for orphan kangaroo infants known as joeys. I thought about the genocide of my son was deeply touched by a photo of. Him they had been trying to flee from the burning bush but they couldnt escape they were trapped by a wool by the highway and they would been to la and. Im honest. The idea is that a volunteer in australia can wear the pound and take care of the joey the group hopes to deliver 50 pouches to australia by the end of the week a simple and modest jester they say but one that shows how people can help each other no matter where you are in the world. Because 8 year old son and tony who inspired the project has more ambitious plans and in their cars in much if everyone in the wont send one such pallets then probably all congress would be safed is not a tall order but given the scale of the fires big ideas may be exactly whats needed.
