Grapples with angie cemetery a politician has proposed compulsive compulsory missives to concentration camps for everyone living in the country we will ask you that can help put a stop to the hate. Plus day four of the World Economic forum in switzerland and our Senior Business editor ben because owen is there and so who is u. S. President. Is and he globalization agenda is likely to clash with the doubles crowd but you business will have full coverage for you life throughout the day. And the races for the european places in Germanys Bundesliga is as tight as ever frankfurt and bloodbath fight it out tonight as they try to get ahead of the pack. Im sara kelly welcome to the program its great to have you with us a fire has torn through a hospital for the elderly in south korea killing at least forty people and injuring dozens more the disaster unfolded in the southeastern city of near young reports say that the fire broke out in an emergency room of the hospital and soon engulfed the building firefighters needed several hours to extinguish the place some people had to be rescued in a daring operations several are in Critical Condition its being called one of south koreas deadliest fires in recent years and for more lets bring in our correspondent Jason Strother who is standing by with the latest from south korea so jason the number of casualties has been rising what more can you tell us. Right and dozens were injured according to local officials so unfortunately it does seem that theres the potential for even more casualties coming from this Early Morning fire this was not an old hospital it was built in two thousand and eight an investigation is still underway to determine the cause of the blaze as you noted it is believed to have started in the emergency room and only spread to the first floor there are just over one hundred or so people in this facility many were evacuated but some died on the way to the hospital and you know that leads us to the question here because south korea of course one of the worlds most advanced countries how can a fire in a hospital have catastrophic consequences like this on these scales. Sure well i mean these types of accidents occur in any country we should point out but South Koreans are lets say acutely concerned about these sort of the lapses in Public Safety ever since the say wall ferry sank in two thousand and fourteen were about three hundred passengers died. The south korean public has held Government Official officials accountable for these types of accidents and thats why the president in here called an emergency session of this cabinet after news broke of this fire politicians from all from both sides of the political spectrum here have called for an investigation some of travel down to mere young to the scene but this is the second fire deadly fire in the past two months in december a fire in a gym south of seoul killed twenty nine people and given that as the government said anything. Right well the investigation is under way so i think just to stay ahead of any public on rest that could follow president moon other politicians have called for the investigation to find out exactly what caused the blaze to identify what was the exact cause of death for each talent easy. This could turn into light like in previous incidents like this the fire back in december or other safety hazards that of courage here in which people have lost their lives the public want to see their president contrite they want to see political leaders doing something so i think president is trying to get out as far ahead of this as you can as he can Jason Strother in south korea thank you you thank. Lets head to turkey now where president wretch of type area won has traveled to his countrys border with syria for the briefing on the turkish offensive against Kurdish Forces there on january twentieth turkey began what it calls operation all of branch its targeted the area around a friend in Northern Syria in an attempt to clear the town of Kurdish Militia which turkey views as a Security Threat the attacks have opened up a new front in the already complex syrian civil war. For more lets bring in correspondent who is following the story for us from istanbul good morning to you we know that the turkish troops are continuing the offensive and attempting to move eastwards what our president wants plans there. Well almost a week into the African Campaign now took soldiers and their rebel allies appear to have made only limited gains so far at least thats what we hear from the border region. Of course the plan is first to take over the enclave of offer and then move further east towards another majority kurdish area called monday each thats more than one hundred kilometers away from where the turkish army is right now and thats also where u. S. Troops are stationed so moving further east for the Turkish Military means increasing the risk off confronting a nato ally but the turkish government thats what i get from recent remarks is willing to take this risk so this is one worst Case Scenario that International Observers are discussing right now another one is the possibility of the Syrian Government actually intervening on the halls of the Kurdish Forces in north and syria at least the often Regional Authority cold for help cold on Bashar Al Assad to intervene and help protect the Syrian Border against the Turkish Military so this shows you how complex the situation can get and how messy it is actually on the ground and despite the fact that it is messy there i mean it does have broad support among turks right why is that. Well patriotism and nationalism are really running deep in Turkish Society and thats what political leaders are using and appealing to when mobilizing when actually preparing the population for such a military offensive and there is a strong enemy image here i mean for im current the Syrian Kurdish fighters are practically the same as the outlaw p k k that is fighting a war inside turkey since decades so there is a strong am enemy image here and of course media reporting has been very much in favor of this offensive so this is shaping Public Opinion you barely hear any critical voices let me show you what i mean i follow the reports here from istanbul lets have a look at this. War on every channel the military operation in syria as the top story on Turkish Television the tenor of the reporting they repaired how critical the majority of to people it seems support operation all of branch in this teahouse at least no one thinks the offensive is a mistake the terrorists are looking for an opportunity to divide the country but we wont have them used. To fighting against isis and other terrorist groups those who dont want to help us should at least not stand in our way or in general most of. The fighting in. In strength of that and i hope that. We will take home to reason that it was. Me. When im absolutely sure of it. Turkish politicians agree as well and its not just the ruling a. K. Party that supports the offensive in syria Opposition Leader kamal kill each told says he also backs the operation as does meryl action are the head of the new party that wants to challenge president dredge of tired aragon in the next election she tweeted that shes praying for a Glorious Army the only party to condemn the offensive is the pro kurdish h d p jamie a former spokesperson calls it inacceptable. You know could have to put a lot of the olive branch has always been a symbol of peace but now it is stained with blood its also now everyone is extending the olive branch to Bashar Al Assad in syria who once used to be his ally said it was upmarket this operation is an attempt to massacre the kurds opus we hope that statements like this one by jimmy are dangerous right now in the past days the turkish government has detained dozens of people including politicians activists and journalists for criticizing the military operation in syria the official charged terrorist propaganda. The journalist who gucci new servile colleagues who got into trouble with authorities over reports criticizing the offensive he says the government gave editors of turkeys leading Media Outlets directives on how to report the trio to clean. I mean you know how all of the newspapers have similar headlines. This is actually government propaganda. For their journalists must censor themselves to avoid trouble. Unfortunately you cant do you proper journalism in turkey anymore. But mahmoud a columnist for the government friendly daily said disagrees he says the government is not influencing coverage of the friend offensive. When it comes to National Security every journalist bears responsibility thats how it is everywhere in the world. But that doesnt mean theyre not free to report on everything but there are some media and intellectuals in turkey who cannot use a freedom of speech with hatred of the government. Or the offensive enough in looks set to stay turkeys main story for now the government has announced that it intends to further expand the operation. And as we saw there in your report we saw some turks basically mentioning their doubts about this ongoing offensive do you have the sense that their voices are being heard. Well barely so actually i mean since most of the parties the Major Political parties are supporting the operation critical voices are not given any ad time on progovernment channels so you would really have to look for those critical voices somewhere else in independent online media for example but as journalist mentioned selfcensorship is a really big issue here many journalists fear for their safety for the familys safety so its really its become really difficult for them to speak out and towards criticism. Hanumant thank you. Lets get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world a Brazilian Court has barred former president Luis Ignacio Lula disserve from leaving the country a federal judge ordered authorities to seize the seventy two year olds passport earlier this week an Appeals Court upheld lulas corruption conviction and increase his sentenced to twelve years in jail.

But first it is over to monica jones who is really tracking davos and today it is all about trump isnt it and as far as i know he wined and dined his peers last night already serono the last day of the World Economic forum in davos is about to get underway the high point as we just heard off todays proceedings is likely to be u. S. President Donald Trumps closing address he arrived in the Mountain Resort late on thursday and he wasted no time in getting cozy with his peers the eagle had finally landed President Trumps arrival in davos was perhaps the most eagerly anticipated moment of the World Economic forum so far but not everyone was pleased to see him there. He started his visit with an informal dinner with a group of some of europes most powerful Business Executives and just as had been expected he wasted no time in pushing his America First agenda congratulations i just want to say that theres been a lot of war a lot of respect for our country and a lot of money billions and billions of dollars coming into the u. S. And people are very happy with what weve done not only on the tax bill but also cutting of regulations and i think also prematurely or for a country you know if youre not a cheerleader for your company or for your country. No matter what happens its not going to work and thats what ive been and thats what my whole group has been so audience included top executives from Corporate Giants including nakia nestle and by the Business Leaders seated around the table introduce themselves and describe what their Respective Companies were doing to make America Great again trump is due to give the w e f closing address later today of just over four hundred speeches which have been made during the forum this one is likely to attract the most attention. More from want to stress over to our very own ben facility would join us now from davos trump already made quite an impression and i get the impression. Definitely making a big impression monica and its a mazing how all of these c. E. O. s oza sucking up to it. I mean theyve got to do business with this guy and this guy is making great giving them great conditions youve got to admit to that weve got weve had greg watch the c. E. O. Of ca technologies the Huge Software company from the United States here on the balcony telling me just yesterday how fantastic these tax reforms of trumps offer his company and for all businesses he said almost all businesses it means theyre saving a heap of money on and are able to reinvest that money expand and create jobs and he said when you can give people jobs give them back their dignity and it doesnt matter whos in charge whos in the oval office theyre going to do with stream lee well it was the same case from the German Companies evens and its c. E. O. Joe kayser at a dinner last night he posted he congratulated mr trump for these tax reforms and said it was the reason that his company is developing gas turbines in the u. S. A huge business a lot of money goes into that and top managers have tens of thousands of workers in the u. S. So its definitely something relevant on both sides of the atlantic trump saying that billions and billions of dollars a pouring into the u. S. And that hes basically every industrialists dreams hes cutting taxes reducing regulation and weakening Environmental Standards the environmentalists are up in arms about that but i bet a Perfect World loves it but yet not everybody in the corporate world theres certainly one very famous us investor who has a not exactly praise for it on the trump. No george soros the billionaire investor has been quite scathing over night at a d n a he said that trump is a danger to the world that he is not good for the United States but that hes not going to be around all that long hes only there temporarily he was even more scathing of the big u. S. Tech Companies Say hes saying theyve amassed way too much power and should be treated as public utilities. It was also very interesting to hear from other Global Leaders throughout this conference they havent been as scathing as soros but they have denounced protectionism and protection as trade policies they are very careful about what they say about trump because they all need something from trump. To reason may for example the u. K. Prime minister she wants a bilateral deal between the u. K. And the u. S. True dog the canadian Prime Minister he wants to salvage nafta the north American Free trade agreement and modi the indian Prime Minister well he has a heap of indians in the tech sector and he wants the u. S. To and based in india so so i should think that at least those people will still intend to this afternoon when trump takes the stage today because a lot of the participants are leaving on the last day of doubles. Yeah normally but a lot of people are staying for this speech of trumps its the big thing the big events this week the media has just been going crazy there are real suckers for punishment when he arrived yesterday they couldnt get enough of mr trump African Leaders on the other hand will be boycotting the speech and n. G. O. S say theyre not interested in hearing mr trumps America First poli
