Today China's new coronavirus has claimed more lives in China as the global effort to continue to contain the outbreak schools in China and Hong Kong have been delayed to try and contain the virus or China's exclusion zone of cities on lockdown continue to widen Reuters Jayson albino starts off with the death toll from China's new coronavirus continue to rise Monday as the global efforts to contain the rapid outbreak double down the number of confirmed cases in China is in the thousands u.s. Officials reported multiple cases on Sunday and it's already spread to other countries including Thailand Australia and France more than 10 cities in who Bay have already been shut down who Bay is the province in which will han the city where the outbreak began is located and neighboring provinces are anticipating the exclusion list will only widen. China said it would extend a weeklong Lunar New Year holiday in a bid to slow the spread of the virus state media reported that Beijing will also delay the reopening of schools and universities after the holiday Hong Kong announced a similar plan with schools to remain closed until February 17th Hong Kong. So said it would ban entry to travelers who have visited who Bay in the last 14 days the government's plan for a quarantine zone were stalled after protesters torched a newly built residential building that authorities plan to use as a quarantine facility. Our message is very simple don't make this a state into a corner area as there are lots of residents here it's that simple airports around the world are ramping up screening measures of Chinese passengers though its effectiveness has been questioned by health officials some foreign governments are working to evacuate their citizens from all Han France said its evacuees will spend 14 days in quarantine to stop the possible spread of the virus also on Sunday Chinese officials confirm that the ability of the new virus to spread is getting stronger and that infections could continue to rise no deaths have been reported outside of China from the virus so far that was Reuters reporter Jason albino Chinese Premier League Achang visited the city of who Han on Monday to meet with health officials and examine their response to the outbreak will stock markets plunged on Monday as investors fear the economic impact from the coronavirus the latest figures reported by Chinese media include almost 4200 cases and over 100 deaths in all cases have been reported in Australia Canada France Hong Kong Japan Macau Malaysia Nepal Portugal Singapore South Korea Taiwan Thailand and the United States as well as Vietnam Meanwhile the u.s. State Department has updated travel advisory to China to level 3 advising citizens to reconsider to travel China due to the noble coronavirus now to dive deeper into the topic I spoke earlier to Dr Jose Vasquez division chief and professor of medicine and Infectious Diseases at Augusta university I began our conversation by asking him the large number of cases each year of influenza and ammonia. That affect each person around the globe wiser so much concern about the coronavirus I think the important difference is the fact that it's a new or what's called a novel virus right from the prior respiratory viruses that we've had nobody has heard about it and because nobody's heard about it and it's coming from another country especially in the United States I think we are you know a little uptight I guess you could say are anxious about this disease the other thing that makes it a little scary to the population is the fact that we don't know anything about it we don't know how it spreads we don't know how contagious it is another words is that a couple of days where you maybe have no symptoms and then all of a sudden you have favor in a cough and then you're infectious or have you been infectious since you've been so it's really the unknown I think that's the big fear I saw some reports of the debate Joe is really putting the emphasis on health care workers health care facilities to really make sure that their screening procedures are really tight and stringent when you're dealing with people coming from on or who may have been exposed what kinds of things do people need to keep in mind so that's a good question so in the health care facilities we have been prepared for what we call emerging infections or emerging diseases way back since the SARS the initial SARS was back in 2000 to 2003 right so what we do is our 1st question that we have when somebody comes in with a fever and cough is have you traveled anywhere has that person traveled anywhere within the past $2.00 to $4.00 weeks if they have it in those people will immediately be put into place mask on and then they will go into isolation and so we get it right away in the emergency room or the walk in clinic or the walk in doctor's office so we really jump on it quickly to prevent that spread is a mask good enough that's a good everybody asked me. That so I'd like to because it's a big question right I mean whether whether we mean whether whether it's it's SARS or the corona virus that we're talking about now are the things the 1st thing is going to put on a mask but there are certain masts that are better at filtering out particular matter than others there is one school of thought that it does help there's another school of thought that it doesn't really help I think I tend to be somewhere in between so what happens with most mask is after you've been a wearing it for an hour or 2 because of the humidity and your breath the mask gets wet right as long as the mask gets wet it doesn't work all right one last question your physician your doctor you're the head of the Infectious Disease Program at Augusta university What is something that you're looking at in terms of the reporting in the information coming out from health care professionals who have firsthand experience with this that we as as laypeople people who are just reading the news may not be keenly aware of well I think I think the important part of this is how is it can to become contagious right that's the key because that can go from a few people to a couple of 1000000 so what we do know is and what should it be recommended is anybody who feel sick who has symptoms of a respiratory tract infection should be staying home right expensively if they've come from Asia that was Dr Jose Vasquez at Augusta University speaking to me from Georgia. An American military aircraft crashed in eastern Afghanistan Monday is no indication so far that it has been brought down by enemy fire according to the u.s. Military spokesman u.s. Forces in Afghanistan said Bombardier 11 a crash in the. Best occasion of its causes was. Monday's plane crash is not expected to derail u.s. Taliban peace talks if it turns out to.

As u.s. President Donald Trump Senate impeachment trial continues it's been jolted by new claims that undercut a key defense argument a.p. Washington correspondent Saager McGann a has mall. More on today's presentation by the White House but the president and his lawyer say he did not tie withholding military aid to Ukraine to his demand for investigating Joe Biden but former trump national security advisor John Bolton alleges in a forthcoming book that's exactly what the president did as they resumed their case the president's lawyers did not directly address Bolton's revelations but Jay Sekulow says there's no proof the president did not a single witness testify that the president himself said that there was any connection top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer says they're out there we want all we want Mulvaney upping pressure on Republicans to allow witness testimony for g.o.p. Senators would have to sign on and 2 are now publicly indicating they are onboard Mitt Romney and Susan Collins like war. Impeachment is how former independent counsel Ken Starr's investigation of President Clinton led to the house impeaching Clinton he's now on President Trump's legal team and says there's nothing more divison for the nation those of us who lives for the Clinton impeachment understand Starr told the Senate impeachment requires 2 things an actual crime and a genuine national consensus that the president must go away he says neither exists in this case and after just one presidential impeachment in the nation's 1st 200 years Congress is now too quick to act we're living in one I think an apple a be described as the age of impeachment one Democratic senator calls that absurd and quite rich coming from Ken Starr Saager Magni Washington now for analysis of those arguments and more our earlier spoke with Joel Richard Paul professor at the University of California Hastings College of the law. For. Many Republicans now. That they need to call other witnesses even if they have no intention of voting to remove the president from office they may still feel I think that if they fail to call those witnesses and if more evidence continues to come out in the press any way that they're going to look like they have it on their chops and there may be political consequences for them if they fail to sell the other way in which effects the sense I think more immediately if this it appears in the case of John Bolton that he has submitted the manuscript involved to the White House that they are you and I have to believe that Mr cyclone e knows that he must seen this manuscript in advance and he handed the for some weeks and if he knew what John Bolton said in that text. He could not in good conscience end up and make the argument he has now made before the Senate which is that Mr Trump never condition a business discipline and has made a false statement to the Senate in this trial before the chief justice the United States Supreme Court he may have some ethical problems and he actually should probably recuse himself from further development in the trial he's also in a position now where you've got presents the office of the president not the president himself and now there's a conflict between the interests of the office of the presidency and the president if Mr Bolton's allegations are true the president's team concludes its presentation on Tuesday and then it opens up the floor to questions to both sides if you were a senator sitting as a member of the jury in this impeachment trial what kind of questions would you want to ask I think what I would want to know about as earnings is what they knew opt out John Bolton's claim and when they bill it. I would want to know what the truth is that thing you know that is not being made available to Senate and in this representations that they may have said it but I really think the interesting question of an evidentiary point of view which. I don't think anyone is exploiting at this point is how this whole transaction was financed Where did the money come from that financed alleged Parnassus and Rudy Giuliani and others in all of their travels and all of their engagements there is this continuing story about large transfers of money between. Parness and Mr Giuliani that money must have come from somewhere and I think we would want to know where it came from because the implication is that the money may have come from across and there would be an outside influence I'll lecture and correct. You know on the election that violation of finance laws also further story as to which whole narrative Ukraine and Russia. Respond here in the 26 election. To us whether that narrative. Well that was Professor Joe Richard Paul from the u.c. Hastings College of the law speaking to me from California and you're listening to v.o.a. News. This is the Internet. Astronomers have found a number of exoplanets Cruise orbits are in what is called the habitable zone a planetary systems habitable or Goldilocks zone is an orbital region around a star where it's not too hot or too cold and any orbiting planets could have liquid water on its surface something that's essential to support life a new study from Rice University in Houston Texas suggests simply residing in a star's habitable zone it may not be enough to determine the planet's actual habitability the planet star also needs to be on its best behavior according to the study a number of Earth like planets from orbiting in the habitable zone also circle too close to their stars to escape the a thanks of the stars a strong magnetic fields and associated radiation to the study authors are building a computer model to help determine how a star's atmosphere and magnetic fields affect the planets and in time of the bull's eye I'm viewing lays Rick Banta Layo. We'll ways international edition continues I'm Steve Miller with just over a month to go before Israel's next election both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and chief rival Benny Gantz held separate meetings with u.s. President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday on the table as Trump so called Deal of the century which will reportedly give Israel control over large parts of the West Bank some in Israel say Mr Trump is trying to influence the election when the Gradstein reports for v.o.a. From Jerusalem President Donald Trump has been working on his Israeli Palestinian peace deal for almost as long as he has been in office but it is only now just ahead of Israel's 3rd round of elections on March 2nd that he is releasing the details of the plan Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the plan is a great opportunity for Israel and the sun I want to. The prime minister also said he is leaving for Washington with a great sense of responsibility and that he hoped he and President would make history Natanya whose rival Benny guns wrangled a private meeting with Trump hoping to show that he is a serious contender for prime minister but the focus in Israel has now shifted from corruption allegations against Natanya who to the political and diplomatic spear where he excels details of the plan have not been released but Israeli press reports say it gives Israel control over chunks of the West Bank including the Jordan Valley which runs along the border between the West Bank and Jordan most Yadlin former head of military intelligence says the plan is a dream from Israel's point of view impossible. Yadlin said that this plan offers parameters that are much better for Israel and include total control over the Jordan Valley control over the airspace in the West Bank and again militarized Palestinian state. Palestinians who have cut off all ties with the trumpet ministration have responded angrily to the reported details Palestinian prime minister Mohammad steadiest said Trump is interfering in Israel's election and that of the UK do I know how the. Diocese in the news is meant to say they found something to be determined by news and made time Yahoo from going to jail some Israeli analysts agree that Trump is trying to get Natanya who his friend to win the election Mark sellers the chairman of Republicans overseas Israel a political group for Republicans who live outside the United States Zell tells Israel radio it could mean that the results of this election will give Israelis what they wanted all along a partnership between the tenure who and guns so I think the president may well be trying to do something that's connected to the peace plan but somewhat apart from it and that is to help Israel on the principle protagonists in the battle for the Israeli government don't you know and guns to somehow overcome their difficulties and come together and form a unity government so that we can get on with the business of conducting foreign policy and defense here in the Middle East Israel said the prior elections have failed to produce a government and that the deal of the century could change that Linda Gradstein Jerusalem January 31st is this coming Friday not only is it the end of the month but it's a day that brags that officially takes place all the world has been occupied with news of the corona virus outbreak in China and it spread around the world or what's been happening in the United States with President Trump's impeachment trial a major economic and political story has seemingly fallen off many of people's radars but Britain's exit imminent I spoke earlier with London based reporter Henri Ridgwell to find out how people are preparing for breaks in at week's end. Well as you say they were been so many other things in the news lately the coronavirus the impeachment here in the United Kingdom as well a lot of focus on the role families troubles as well it's almost as if bricks it day has come up with a bit of a surprise and it's out of the week there is a party and in central London by the backers a vote leave a celebration they wanted to get the bells of Big Ben charming but that's undergoing renovation of the moment so they can't so there will be some events to mark bricks if they they have minted a new 50 pence coin with the words peace prosperity and friendship to all nations to mark the moment the government itself and Prime Minister Boris Johnson are treading carefully on this because I think they still recognize that the country is divided on this at least half of the country is not celebrating on the 31st of January they don't want breaks it to go ahead and the country remains bitterly divided so there will be some celebrations there will be some angsty among a lot of remain as well and it remains to be seen what happens on the 1st of February and where the government goes from here you mentioned thanks by remain ors and possibly some other people who did not want to leave the European Union but hey there's a lead in months of deal making time remaining to solidify all the nuances of the divorce deal but until then things to argy remain the same so why why are people experiencing. On the surface of things it doesn't look like much will change on February the 1st I think there's 2 reasons The 1st is the direction of travel of the government and of Boris Johnson and the rhetoric that is coming out of Number 10 Downing Street he as I've said is insisting Boris Johnson is insisting that he is not going to extend that transition period there is an option to an extended by another 2. You years he has put into lure that he will not extend it and if you look at all past trade deals that the European Union has done the most recent being with Canada and Japan they have taken several years to negotiate and several years to ratify and to cram all of that into the space of a few months given that probably every single national parliament in the European Union will have to ratify it you would think that raises the chances of the again of us going back to what we were talking about in the fall of last year of there being a big cliff edge and all that some certainty coming but Boris Johnson moreover has made it very clear that he does not want a close relationship with the European Union go forward so all those who. Proposed it or were supporters of e.u. Membership and wanted to remain close I think they know now that Boris Johnson having won the 80 seat majority in parliament their hopes of staying close to the European Union of retaining those rights to live and work and travel around the continent are pretty much dashed and they are going to have to live with whatever this new government negotiates and I think the 2nd aspect of this is really something to do with identity and this goes deep down into the divisions in the country the heart of the country really no embrace the European identity or at least enjoyed or appreciated the perceived benefits of European Union membership the other half see much better future outside of the European Union and that really is what is coming down to now is a question of identity that was reporter Henry Woodrow speaking to me from London who was on Monday 75 years ago Soviet Union soldiers liberated the Auschwitz death camp in Poland where over a 1000000 people mostly Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis ever since hallmark. Survivors their descendants and supporters have reminded the world to never forget the horrors of the Holocaust and the evil humans everywhere are capable of the ways Adam Phillips has this report of how one Jewish family whose matriarch survived Auschwitz keeps the memory of the Holocaust alive so does Robin now $64.00 was born 10 years after his mother Livia and her 2 sisters were freed from Auschwitz and began the long trek that eventually led them to the state of Israel but Dr X.'s his parents' memories of the whole acoss were a constant underline presence in their otherwise happy home they told us about the label about clothing you know they were youngsters my mom was a teenager and all of a sudden she found herself in a couple cut so she couldn't move and she saw that she will wake up and it will be over but it was. Al a city and German shepherd dogs and the s.s. Shouting the scene must some look like insane and then having them all the tools and then the you move all of humanity and then the clothing that they have to take off my mom explained. You know to us in detail how how shameful they all were you know that the Germans were laughing and kicking and and couldn't think. At terrible experiences one could ever have run fixes the experience still haunts his mother at night even at the age of $93.00 still he has never viewed his mother as a victim I always saw his will and could never understand how she could smile I should believe the family and have a good humor and live long and very fulfilling life with this hanging. Over the head knowing that when night comes it always takes a back to Auschwitz and then the next morning she is just full and happy the reality is about this came driving when he and his wife and children and other relatives traveled with his mom to the camp which is now a museum that's when he got the idea to get his own Ted to bearing the number thank him to his mother's arms it was a way to honor her and her fading generation and to offer a visible reminder of the Holocaust to others my mom may she be well is just 93 and that generation is dwindling so as so many so I had many people stop me and ask me what what is the number you would think in this day and age people would know about the holocaust but I explained to them why I have the number you know I'm talking to people about the events that happened not only to my mom but to a whole lot of Jews from all over Europe Roddick's son Amir is one of several family members who followed his father's example abuses his dad too has often given him strength during hard times you know a lot of times like life gets you down whether financially whether emotionally and and like sometimes you know I really do want to give up and I don't want to continue my stuff and so when I when I think of like I want my grandma to run through and then what I personally go through nothing really in my feet that I have to dig no problem seems to tops you know you've never seen anything in your life that compared to really bring things to a place where I'm so grateful to be alive and how lucky I am to exist well the world remembers Auschwitz on this day over there who of exists his mother lives it every day for him it's a time to work.
