number of infected people has risen to more than 837 others have died from the illness bringing the those killed and china to 25 organization and knowledge of the respiratory illness is an emergency in china but said it's too early to declare it a global concern chinese officials are working to contain it spread and han that's a city of 11000000 people transport there has been shut down several other major cities are on lockdown health officials are worried transmission rates could increase as millions travel to celebrate the lunar new year which starts on saturday at a moment we'll go to china and see how people are coping 1st and the has more on the international response. but few maci know imported road they're taking no chances for good reason the people being monitored with scanners have just flown in from the center of the outbreak in the way. they left before the chinese city was put in lockdown but scenes like this have played out around the world but sydney airport serving australia's largest city many of those flying in from blue handled thursday will face mosques they knew they'd be screened but there were no reports of illness and they would say that he worried before we got a good. and. a few. people. to be everywhere and when we get out and. test the fever and ask some questions about your health in the u.s. one person is known to have contracted the virus health officials in the state of washington where the man lives so he's well and should be allowed home soon as of now there are at least 16 identified close contacts local health departments started reaching out to them yesterday and continue to do so. and the list of countries with confirmed cases of the virus is getting larger most of eastern asia but some further afield the data that we've gathered has suggested you know that this could be a very dangerous virus but potential for global spread in and even i don't think it's going to extreme to say even potential you know for a global epidemic. but i don't think that inevitable at this point in. the next couple of weeks will be really important to making an assessment of what the real risk is still the possibility needs checks like this at major airports until medical experts know a lot more there's a whole series of questions we have to ask we don't have all of those answers yet we have some of that we know how to diagnose it we increasingly know how to treat people when they get it what we don't yet know is when somebody is infectious and who they pass it on somebody else the next few weeks could tell us exactly how much of a threat this corona virus poses worldwide. al-jazeera. has got high levels in beijing or authorities are concerned holidaymakers may spread the virus. the concern is that travel for the lunar new year holiday that starts today friday and will continue all the way through next week we're at the beijing west train station this is where if someone's going to go to that epicenter in the province this is where they would get this that the high speed train from beijing so we're seeing a steady clip of people almost 100 percent of people are wearing some type of mask on their faces obviously because of what's been going on in that direction the trains aren't stopping there obviously because you've got this transit he's a walk down in that province in the central problem of china it's it's look that it's seen as as kind of a patient hub so trains will pass through there they'll go further south but they won't stop there so we're still seeing the city of people one big concern that authorities have is that joe and then police here john is that what happens after this travel period after this holiday in the next week what's going to happen when people come back who've been traveling outside of that was in the company that was in the thick of the contact with people who were in that reason and that's the biggest concern because now because there are. reports that some people who have carried this virus possibly had been asymptomatic with all the screening the fever jackson and the health checks that they still could have gone through some of the the systems the having the chance and centers around china so that's a big concern going forward next week but right now this is the 1st day of this 9 day holiday as we've seen now. a 2nd. south korea which is also now saying a large influx of chinese tourists for the lunar new year holiday. south korea is one of the most popular destinations in asia for chinese tourists and in this coming holiday period the country is expecting to play host 213-0000 visitors from china now while direct flights from hand have been suspended this influx is a cause for concern here and south korea is putting in place the usual precautions such as health checks at points of entry and so on the country is no stranger to outbreaks like this one back in 2050 it was badly impacted by another type of coronavirus the virus from the middle east that made nearly 200 people sick 38 of whom actually died so south korea is well aware of the dangers and has in place the kind of precautions a nice to take the same cannot be said of north korea a lack of resources then means it is far more vulnerable to a public health emergency such as this one and it has done in the past for example with the a bolo virus put in place far more drastic measures stopping all visitors now while this might guarantee that it will get no cases of the coronavirus it is very bad for its economy because a tourism especially from china is one of the few areas that are not covered by u.n. sanctions and that has been developing as a much needed source of foreign revenue and that is a stream of revenue that will now strong as long as they seem urgency continues. as president donald trump says he will release his long awaited plan for israel and palestine by tuesday at the head of a visit by israel's prime minister and his political rival benny gantz in washington d.c. next week. that will benefit the palestinians but they have already rejected the initiative after a series of pro israel knows find the trump administration christian salome is in washington d.c. with more details on trump's plan. well we know that the trumpet ministration has been working on this deal for 3 years with the president's son in law jared cushion our senior advisor taking the lead on the negotiations we know that president trump would really like to deliver on this campaign promise he's in the middle of an impeachment. exercise here in the united states it's an election year and he considers himself a deal maker and he has said that peace in the middle east would be the deal of all deal so there's a lot of incentive from the administration to get something done here as far as the details though don't have a lot of information at this point we know that there's an economic component and a political component to the deal the economic component was announced by kushner back over the summer he said $50000000000.00 in economic development package politically though the united states has already made concessions to israel they recognize jerusalem as israel's capital moved the u.s. embassy there over the summer just recently secretary of state my pump aoe said that the united states would no longer consider israeli settlements in the west bank illegal all of this up undoing tradition in the u.s. for a long time international agreements international law these were issues that were supposed to be part of final status negotiations in the united states kind of unilaterally moved ahead and took sides with israel now we have prime minister netanyahu talking about annex in part of the west bank and so there's been some speculation some reporting that that could be the next phase of something that the united states is considering. democrats in the u.s. are pressed on with the 2nd day of opening statements and president on the trams and pietschmann trial they focused on what they call his dangerous abuse of power idea castro reports from washington d.c. . with cameras banned from showing the full senate chamber a sketch artist captures the scene 100 senators without their phones barred from speaking and some even looking bored with the process the democrats lead impeachment manager opened the 2nd day of arguments in the case against president trump with a moment of where levity remarking on his audience's silence of course it doesn't hurt that the morning starts out every day with the sergeant at arms warning you that if you don't you will be in prison but then it was back to the arguments thursday focused on the allegation that trump abused his power when he asked ukraine for election interference to his own benefit the articles in the evidence conclusively established that president trump is places own personal political interests 1st he has placed them above our national security above our free and fair elections and above our system of checks and balances this conduct is not america 1st it is donald trump 1st republicans have stuck by the president some calling the democrats' arguments repetitive and unconvincing i want the american people to pick the next president not me the president's attorneys will present their case for acquittal in coming days arguing trump did nothing wrong and that the accusations against him are not impeachable offenses you still have to meet basic fundamental constitutional obligations and they have to expect to hear more arguments from both sides for the next few days than senators will have a chance to ask questions before democrats make their next big move they hope to open this trial to new witnesses only possible with some republican support the question is whether the democrats arguments will be convincing enough to leave the senate wanting more heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington. al-jazeera has more now on the republicans and democrats over whether to allow witnesses in the trial we're going to get a better understanding of the republicans arguments against witnesses both to its own caucus the republicans and to the democrats to the republicans are saying look if basically they're saying if more of you say you're going to want witnesses bear in mind this will go to court donald trump will sue this will take months and months and months and in the end if witnesses finally do appear in the senate will have the same result donald trump will be acquitted why waste our time if the house wanted witnesses so much why didn't they go through the courts they just do their dirty work so that's that's the republican argument to its own members and to the democrats becoming pretty clear that they're suggesting look if you somehow by some miracle perhaps get someone to testify we will go after we will go after joe biden and that would be a bit of a disaster for joe biden as he's trying to fight for the nomination of the democratic party already from the left of the democratic party he's facing accusations of corruption there was an editorial in the guardian just a few days ago from a left winger saying biden has a problem with corruption for its entire career he's just done the bidding of the fossil fuel industry the banking industry the the health care industry by and taking that as taking their donations biden denies all that but now if he was actually to be cross-examined in the senate as to why his son had a plum droll but a ukrainian energy even though he his son had no experience in energy while biden was in vice president that would be pretty disastrous for him to. still ahead on al-jazeera neighbors meet for an urgent conference to stop the fighting will have reaction from tripoli. in congress with the sole function designed to sustainability is more than a fashion statement. hello the picture of a very unsettled across northern sections of the middle east has been streaming in again of the last year as i was saying quite a bit of rain but also some snow but it's also old bad this is van in eastern turkey and look at this plenty of enjoyment being had with the snow that is on the ground there but there is some more on the way there's also plenty of snow working its way quite steadily through more central and northern areas of afghanistan snow and rain in the mix rain of course further to the south and then certainly by friday a very unsettled picture throughout much of iraq some very heavy rain to the north it should be mostly dry in baghdad 15 degrees celsius but that system is working its way through so you will see showers later friday on into south and in the time it's a little bit lower by then just 13 degrees at the same time very strong winds you could even see the windows here really showing up quite a strong place it could actually kick some dust into northern areas of saudi and also it will stream down the gulf so those temperatures pretty thing a little bit lower than that 20 celsius in and that 23 in dubai and now the good news for madagascar the rains that have been so heavy we have a little some rain in the 4 calls but nothing like as heavy over the next couple of days some fairly heavy amounts of rain into where mozambique and tanzania and also want to showers and thunderstorms east and south africa. well this last time you out on the streets protesting whether on line you feel the weight of the system you do walk through each and every leg with more layers further and further into the jail or if you join us on saying retention has to start from day one whether again you and attention or you incarcerate this is a dialogue everyone has a voice for you know it's 36 o'clock rush coverage will be

the country's conflict in egypt sudan in tunisia are among the countries that have suffered from the war in libya tony burke has more from tripoli. at the meeting in the algerian capital libya's neighbors renewed their support for the enforcement of an arms embargo and called for an end to foreign involvement in the conflict. are the we agreed on many principles the only solution for the libyan crisis is a peaceful solution a political solution the solution must be a libyan solution with support from the international community. libya's internationally recognized government of political experts say that support is vital and the only way a lasting peace can be achieved but they're disappointed there has not been greater international pressure against the united arab emirates in particular which they say is supporting have to with arms and finance we are surprised because international community cannot see. as we expect more white. kids who are white because the money. maybe because the money warlord khalifa haftar as forces control 2 thirds of the country for the last 9 months they pounded the suburbs of tripoli with rocket and shell fire trying to capture the capital there has been an uneasy ceasefire for the last 10 days but there has been violations in the south of tripoli the capital main airport was closed after the government said it was hit by 6 rockets and an unmanned drone was destroyed both sides claimed they had shot it down. have to us forces are blockading oil ports bringing libya's life blood industry to a virtual standstill as oil output plummets the cost to the economy saws at least $77000000.00 a day but the lost revenue will also hurt have to our side already hurting because their guys were debris from benghazi electricity will go off. and i don't think we will be able to or to hold on for for a long time have to ask forces continue to receive their salaries from the central banking tripoli one of the many ironies in this complicated conflict 1st the berlin conference and now the algerian conference and on the 27th of this month is going to be another conference in geneva the libyan people have heard a lot of talk about ways to end this conflict but what they haven't heard are concrete measures about actually how to do so. most libyans are concerned with security and day to day living including the price of food or medicine the simple solution i don't feel it's the same old story in berlin or moscow they talk but in libya people are dying why is just wants to go back home he fled with his wife and 2 children when his home in south tripoli was destroyed by shelling home now is in a school. life is hard here we have very little and our home was destroyed it's not safe to go back we just above the water. is one of the 146000 people who've been displaced in this conflict the hope is there won't be any more but in libya there are no guarantees tony berkely al-jazeera tripoli s. secretary-general the un secretary-general that as any good terrorist told al-jazeera there is a danger a conflict will spill over to the rest of the region. what has happened in libya is that libya became a playground of neighbors and actors and the libyan people is of space so it's very important and one of the things that was achieved in berlin was a commitment by all of those states not to interfere anymore in the internal affairs of libya and not to interfere in the conflict we know that there is a long way to go to make sure that it's fully happens but i think there is an element of hope and the element of hope comes from. a serious the situation became because it's no longer a question in which you have a fighting among libyans with some international support that it's your support again such as i mention that there is no risk of a regional conflicts and in my humble opinion it is there to risk that to a certain extent made 1000000000 possible and forced all those that are involved to understand that now it's becoming a dangerous game it's better to stop it to the benefit of the libyan people but also to the benefit of peace in the region libya has been a center. of arms export and also fighters export let's remember arms that went to syria from the beginning and that the most worrying impact is of course with the sale and with the lake charles because more and more these 2
