And chaos as hundreds of migrants cross from guatemala into mexico as they continue their desperate journey to the United States. Be disturbed in doha with only a small door for the bush fire consumes its rain which hampers the opening day of the Australian Open but on the court under the roof framing. The lights the crowds in melbourne. A low a very warm welcome to the program our top story this hour at least 2 people have been killed in baghdad after Iraqi Security forces used tear gas and live ammunition to break up antigovernment protests meanwhile in the south of the country hundreds of demonstrators that blocked main roads in several cities the had been a brief lull in protests as regional tensions between iran and the United States took center stage but iraqis continue to say the Prime Minister has not fulfilled his promises and they are calling for an overhaul of the political system in iran. On reports now from a capital. In one of the main squares in central Baghdad Police and protesters confront each other it again in the early hours of monday as protesters tried to block the road leading to the square they want a change of government and accuse the current one of corruption a cool had got out to protesters to block main roads in baghdad a major highways in the south cutting off access. Police used live ammunition and fight a gas in attempt to disperse the crowds in the capital but a standoff sued lost in several i was angry iraqis determined to get their message across. The idea isnt just blocking the roads all the people here often straighted so we make noise here to make sure that we are heard not about to show them a days did you want to for months no one has listened to our demands theyre killing us its just bloodshed. Throughout the day took took 3 wheelers have been ferrying to gas victims to makeshift hospitals like this one. I went to Tyrone Square in baghdad and the people wanted me to help them i was also attacked by tear gas i fell down the Security Forces have been using tear gas and live ammunition to iraqs National Security council has authorized the arrests of protesters but so far thats had little impact on the movement there wasnt the same level of violence elsewhere in the country as the wars in baghdad and the roadblocks in the south the protesters considered a success the real question for the protest movement is where do you go from here once you started knocking off roads in the south of the country effectively cutting off the cell from the rest of the country where do you escalate your demands being listen to and thats really angering the protest movement now it really remains to be seen whether the blockade of the roads is going to work and whether the government will listen as a result of it. Aljazeera baghdad. Well now to our other top story this hour the World Health Organization will convene an emergency meeting in geneva on wednesday to address the spread of a mystery illness which originated in china a virus has killed 3 people since 1st being detected in the chinese city of one hand more than 200. 00 cases have now been confirmed and on monday officials said they had evidence of human to human transmission south koreas centers for Disease Control and prevention also reported its 1st case a chinese woman who flew into insurance city from will hand on sunday has been quarantined that follows one case being confirmed in japan early in january and 2 in thailand 6 days ago katrina you reports now from beijing. Stothard hospital are working around the clock to identify a mystery virus which has been linked to stars Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome at least 3 people have died and the number of those confirmed to have the virus is growing the chinese Officials Say the outbreak is under control. All the. New cases have been a been tips to a visit to the hospital and we have concentrated resources experts to treat the patients in one place sheba. The virus which causes pneumonia like symptoms originated in a womb and seafood in meat market cases have been confirmed in beijing and shenzhen and found in chinese visitors japan thailand and south korea this week marks the official beginning of chinas busiest travel season hundreds of millions are using Public Transit ahead of Chinese New Year celebrations checks are being conducted in railway stations and airports but what hasnt it is the growing concern about the spread of the virus people here are looking to the gun world to do more to keep them safe but god i dont think the government is doing enough because im just not here enough details about it i dont think they will give us the true number of those infected im worried and thats why i wear a mask when im out others say they trust the governments handling of the virus i believe the government or give us past and Accurate Information i think theyre more worried than the public they were have to figure out how to deal with it so im not worried but the outbreak is bringing back an easy memories of the 2003 saw outbreak which killed almost 800 people worldwide and left more than 8000 sick authorities initially withheld information about the epidemic leading some to question the chinese governments transparency around the new virus british researchers say they could be as many as 7100 cases the World Health Organization has sent a Research Team to work on for us to fully otherwise the extent of human to human transmission we need to collect more and more information so this is obviously the new diseases and so many things we still dont know videos are circulating on chinese social media of passengers being tested on flights for move on but the government has appealed to the public to remain calm 8 people were arrested earlier this month for spreading rumors about the outbreak online but preventing the spread of the virus may not be as straightforward as controlling the spread of information katrina you aljazeera beijing. Well joining me now is rosalind an assistant professor at the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine 1st of all how quickly is this fire spreading well its hard to know early on in an outbreak how quickly its spreading what we need for about is robust data to understand when the people who have it got ill when they sought care and how many of them there are and then we can better understand how quickly this outbreak is progressing tell us more about the symptoms is it easily identifiable well at the moment its the middle of the usual influenza season and this is seems to be a disease that causes a flu like illness and so its really can be difficult to detect whether this is a normal flu like illness a non flu infection or one caused by the new coronavirus so authorities will test people who have suspected symptoms and we now have a standard Case Definition that might do tests and then they can identify it the virus is sort of originated in the central chinese city of. New how do you i mean its very difficult at this point i know because youre still gathering data this but what does it suggest to you that it into human transmission has now been confirmed beyond chinas border is so there has been human to human can transmission confirmed within china but and theres been some International Spread but we dont yet know if theres epidemics happening in the countries that its reached so far its only people who have confirmed links back to the region so that will be something to discover next if there are sustained human to human transmission or of the cases were seeing just very close contacts of early cases and when it reaches new places is there transmission happening there its very difficult question to answer because in the patients of all come from one so we know that whenever it spread the the the individual. That has passed it on has been traveling has been on in some respects. Where do these viruses come from what is it that might cause the creation of the mutation of Something Like this well so we this is a corona virus and we know that corona virus is circulate within wildlife and we know that when people and wildlife come together closely then those viruses can pass from animals to people and this is called who are not expel over so when an animal disease animal virus moves into humans and that happens wherever people and animals come in close contact and its likely whats happened here can it be prevented then. To prevent preventing zoonosis is very difficult because people and animals always come into close contact you know we those animals that we use for food animals that we are that live in our houses so we have to be. Yes we can try and prevent nurseries in the future by by safe practices around animals but this is a risk that is always present. How worrying is it that we are imminently going to see tens of millions of people traveling across china crisscrossing the country for the upcoming year that excel rate the pace of it being passed on theres a potential that that could affect the size of the epidemic but right now the chinese authorities are implementing strict surveillance and containment measures theyre tracing the contacts of all of the infected people and this will not only help us understand how transmissible the virus is but will also aid containment and so thats the most important thing right now to gather more information to try and contain and to do the really great epidemiological work that the authorities are doing right now thank you for sharing your expertise with us appreciate it rosalind eco system presser at the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine thank you. It the news hour live from london much more still ahead as ceasefire talks try to stop all out war libyas u. N. Recognized leader says hes facing an economic catastrophe. It is a time to be very very well. Africas Richest Woman says she is the victim of a politically motivated attack after shes accused of corruption hundreds of millions of dollars. And a bit later well tell you why chiefs fans are getting shirty ahead of the super bowl in 50 years. The white house has filed a 110 page legal response laying out their defense ahead of president Donald Trumps trial in the senate starting choose day is lawyers argue that democrats have diluted the standards of impeachment they argue that the House Democrats novel theory of abuse of power improperly supplants the standard of high crimes and misdemeanors with a made up fairy that would permanently weaken the presidency by effectively permitting impeachments based merely on policy disagreements live now to see whos in washington tell us more about. What this argument suggests a the approach that trumps legal team might take. I mean the main message of the argument is this is a shiling this is the democrats trying to overturn the results of the 2016 election and affect the forthcoming results in the 20 twentieths action and as you suggested that the made all humans rule based on this idea of separation of powers between the executive the presidency and colin grass 1st of all it is the president s job to to direct Foreign Policy of the United States under the constitution if hes interested in issues of corruption in ukraine or the conduct of joe biden the former Vice President and southern ukraine thats his right to ask questions about that added to the National Interest corruption is a major a major issue and its all very well to bring lots of Civil Servants and as the democrats did from the state department who say well this is all against received american Foreign Policy bedrock to guide Foreign Policy its the president s job to govern Foreign Policy and anyway they say no quid pro quo was ever proven all that the democrats would rely on is 2nd hand in direct witnesses in direct testimony saying yeah we kind of figured that i must be a quid pro quo the democrats say well thats because were relying on these 2nd hand witnesses because you know allowing those with potentially 1st time knowledge to testify but then the president says yeah but thats because the president has the right to private deliberations on Foreign Policy with his advisors and then we have the argument that it all for that to be proof or a charge of high crimes and misdemeanors the has to be in the quiver looms equivalence of a crime that the president is being accused of in the actual criminal Justice System in the law otherwise and there are standards otherwise as you suggested just before coming to me whatever the opposition has no votes in congress and i dont like a particular policy they can just say oh you see thats an abuse of power oh thats a vote for an impeachment so those are the arguments that were seeing and. I mean obviously that theyre arguing here that the impeachment investigation has no legitimacy whatsoever but godless of the outcome the fact that a conviction is highly unlikely obviously the senate is controlled by the republicans how historic these events. Well an impeachment is always historic but as far as the republicans are looking at it and perhaps the president himself they plan to get this done very quickly by february the 4th the the state of the Union Address and he can not combine on being acquitted so what the long term ramifications of the short term ramifications of all this are uncertain because basically all in trouble now come out of this saying i was acquitted by a sham a sham inquiry and he can do that at the state of the Union Address but what we do know there is an impeachment is a historical event as i have both leverkusen on troubles personally troubled by that but politically at least in the short term going into the election its all something hes probably going to campaign on and the polls have been consistent 50 percent think he should be impeached 50 percent dont think he should be impeached or really dont care all right thank you very much you have a chance in washington. Now Foreign Ministers have agreed to look at ways to support a ceasefire in libya but only if a tentative truce holds comes after a summit in berlin on sunday and could include a Monitoring Mission and we starting a Naval Operations hold a u. N. Arms and that has been a shaky trees between eastern based government and the u. N. Recognize administration based in tripoli after has been fighting to take the capital for months meanwhile in an exclusive interview with al jazeera the leader of libyas un recognized government. Says hes hopeful the meeting marks a real opportunity for peace. Because probably we are cautiously optimistic about the berlin summit simply because we have had previous meetings and understandings but we were not met by a genuine political partner on the contrary we were met with malice and treachery along the way now all have come to realize that there is no military solution to the crisis in libya despite the fact that half her and us forces do not believe in diplomacy nor a political process we hope that half stars our allies and supporters have also come to this conclusion and would recalculate their moves in order to revive this political process the berlin solution has introduced 3 main courses of action military political and economic progress must be achieved on all these 3 fronts simultaneously in order to arrive to a comprehensive solution in libya the core problem is the negative intervention by foreign forces. For us and he says that there is likely to be some skepticism that the e. U. Is able to make a difference to the situation in libya. He was basically saying the situation on the ground is must better no hint of this could be because of the european interference thats not true its because of the agreement between the russians and the turks the 2 of them have absolutely massive leverage over one lot of money for how to and also the government of phase assad us the european role in libya has become pedophile absolutely irrelevant and they are trying to say that we are united and we are willing to set aside our differences and our divisions in the past about the it remains to be seen how can the european on their own put together a new mechanism to ensure the cease fire holds and the flow of arms into libya comes to an end without having the 2 key players now russia and turkey on board so until yesterday when they were here in berlin there were they have managed along with the United Nations special envoy to libya to convince her if i have to name 5 military commanders from his side and the Prime Minister named 5 minister commanders from his side these are the ones who will talk about all the details of the cease fire agreement when it comes this is why brad was talking about this is just a truce not a cease fire the cease fire agreement once we have full commitment from all the parties the libyans and the International Community to start a genuine secession of hostilities on the ground those commanders will be the ones to discuss the logistics and the modalities of that agreement along with representatives from turkey from russia and european. France is to send an extra 220. 00 troops to fight armed groups in the sahil president emanuel said he had agreed to create a joint command structure with regional states to fight growing violence in the region speaking after a summit with the leaders of those states and said we have no choice we need results france already has about 4000 about 400000 troops already operating in the sile u.

P. s he has more now from this summit in bogota the issue of venezuela was front and center in this regional conference against terrorism where the u. S. Secretary of state mike pale accused of being a swell of being a failed state in a supporter of terrorism saying that the government of Nicolas Maduro is sheltering and assisting groups as the land the last active rebel group from colombia or dissidents of the former rebel group the far and also accusing them i do it of assisting cells of its ball or the iranian proxies operating or he said in latin america tanks to Nicolas Maduro and thats why he praised the government such as colombia and another a number of governments in the caribbean and latin america that have decided to label is a terrorist organization. We. The really regimes talk to. This isnt acceptable. One of the surprises here was the arrival of the dog the leader of the ministers well an opposition who arrived here in defining a travel ban imposed by the government. He met with pompei on the sidelines of the conference and its talking to journalists here now that there will be new actions that will be taken by the United States to put more pressure on the government of Nicolas Maduro but no concrete new sanctions have been announced. We undertook this tour precisely to find the tools to take action against the dictatorship and to continue back in the years long struggle of the venezuelan people also announced that on wednesday he will travel to brussels to meet with the chief diplomat of the European UnionJoseph Burrell and will then travel to dabis in switzerland for the World Economic forum where he could meet with the United StatesPresident Donald Trump the question is though if this trip would will do anything to break the deadlock in venezuela where the military still stands behind the president of my daughter and where my daughter himself seems to stand on firmer ground where he was for example a year ago the last time that way though trying to ramp up pressure against him.

On now to another story were following piracy in the gulf of guinea has and it the title of being one of those dangerous shipping routes in the wild region accounts for more than 90 percent of global abduction of crews and thats increased by hoff in the past year as nicolas hack reports from the car and meeting is being held by senior west african Navy Officials to counter this illegal maritime activity. So they go special forces on patrol on newly purchased boats its a Training Exercise but the threats are real more hijacking attacks take place in the gulf of guinea than in any other waters in the world. The operating here are looking for sailors to kidnap or merchant ships to hijack the only way to stop this is to patrol or territorial waters to secure our borders in 2014 huge reserves of oil and gas were discovered in waters senegal shares with mauritania a potential of billions of barrels of oil in a trillion cubic feet of gas the navy fears of once it starts to flow this newfound wealth could come under attack from piracy gangs as it happens regularly in the niger delta and so its been a buying spree for dozens of new high speed boats. Its boats like this that are used by the kenyan these. The gulf of aden to try to fend off pirates also by the Colombian Police trying to stop the darker traffickers and while this is in the central tool to stop piracy that old lone will not stop armed robberies here in the gulf of guinea. The heads of the various west african navies are meeting in deckard to find ways to cooperate more closely on security 90 percent of global trade takes place in these waters easy to do many teams through maritime insecurity is a threat to the stability of the coastal countries and despite the growing menace and the political will to tackle it effectively little has changed as. The number of attacks has doubled in the gulf of guinea and although the United States is pulling out many of its troops from west africa the Us Government is funding the regions navy fleet this issue goes beyond the borders of africa its a world while issue that weve seen in asia the middle east this well however specifically for africa we have seen that with the pullback of the International Troops many of the nations are being required to step up and protect their own territorial waters. The piracy gangs are often made up of fishermen who are struggling to earn a living and who have no access to this newfound wealth sinegal has not yet suffered from such attacks but once the oil and gas starts to come on stream possibly in 2023 the navy wants to be ready Nicholas Hawk aljazeera to car. The 50 s the World Economic forum is getting underway in the Swiss Mountain resort of davos and the climate situation is top of the agenda the International Monetary fund is among those calling for an action off it was revealed that for the 1st time Environmental Concerns are dominating the top 5 long term global risks for business. The countries need to cooperate in multifold friends to raise grow old and spread prosperity the need to reverse protectionist trade measures and result the impasse over the world trade organizations appellate court. They must adopt strategies to limit the rise in temperatures of the severe consequences of weather related National Disasters the new International Taxation regime is needed to adapt to the growing Digital Economy and to curtail tax avoidance an evasion while assuring that all countries receive their fair share of tax revenues. Paid to andrew scott the director of the climate and Energy Program at the overseas Development Institute he says governments missed incentivize businesses to cut their emissions i think the governments and Business Leaders at davos know what needs to be done. But im not sure that. Their discussions at davos will lead to any meaningful change in any of that the environment Climate Risks of being in the top list of risks with the World Economic forums are no review for several years now. But emissions keep going up so the extent to which davos is making much difference is is questionable i think the real question is whether even whether davos could enable change to take place at the rate but it is necessary to avoid catastrophic Climate Change governments need to set the right policy frameworks in place the right taxes regulations standards to incentivize businesses many businesses do some do take action without government control microsoft for instance recently announced they were going to go carbon negative but many others require governments to take the action to increase. The the emission Emission Reductions and incentivize companies to take those actions there are many Things Companies can do in their supply chains to reduce their own emissions to do reduce their supplies emissions. Well along with the Climate Emergency health is another big issue that is going to take center stage at this summit with campaign is trying to persuade some of the richest people to pay for more health care for some of the poorest although some estimates that if the richest one percent of people spend point 5 percent more tax on their wealth it would pay for health care to save the lives of more than 3000000. 00 poor people such as the roughly 38 percent of people globally u. N. Aids estimates have but are currently not receiving and retroviral treatments we need by email is the executive director of u. N. Aids which is leading the global effort to stop the virus from posing a Public Health threat by 2030 she joins me now from the World Economic forum in davos and i suppose companies will try to minimize the amount of tax they pay they see that as a efficient Corporate Governance and they do it using legal tools available to them what is your message to many of those companies there in davos how will you try to persuade them to do otherwise hello. Thank you very much for having me were living in a world that is where extreme inequality is out of control about 2100 billionaires owners march wealth more wealth than 4600000000 people in this world while they enjoy such wealth that they could never spend half the world live on less than 5. 5 dollars a day huff the world struggle and do not have access to Health Care PriorityHealth Care Every day every 3 minutes a woman dies in childbirth every day 10000 people die because they couldnt Access Health care its unacceptable its immoral its unsustainable right so this is a massive issue and it points to another i suppose data point for Global Inequality whereabouts is health care particularly bad people really struggle to get access to the basic health care let me let me tell you what is so painful 1700000 people last year where newly infected by hiv we were not able to prevent them from getting this virus deadly virus at the same time 15000000 people are still not own treatment for hiv and yet we could do this here in davos there would be at least about 400. 00 billionaires here if they sat in one room they could solve the problem of a child v its like loose change for them considering the 1000000000 see how we i know. A situation where theyve talked preach on their companies are allowed to not to pay their fair share of taxes and the poor people ordinary people pay with their. House q how. Broad spend it on peoples emptied its such a broad complicated issue and how much Big Companies pay in tax has been very much under the spotlight for some years now and its been controversial mean a lot of these companies you know they make a distinction between tax evasion and tax avoidance tax evasion obviously being illegal tax avoidance while its its unethical is technically illegal so whose responsibility what is the responsibility lie for these companies to pay more tax if theyre not going to cough it up themselves im not concerned with what is illegal because what is legal has been constructed by the very rich at the top im concerned with what is moral what is what is sustainable you cannot tough more than half of the worlds population unable to us you cant tough hill for being the privilege of a few and half the world living without health care or adequate telfer care let me tell you 1700000 people who are newly infected by hiv the do your know that 4 out of 5. Of people who are newly infected by hiv in africa adonis since there are children and out of those almost 2 thirds of girls we have to do something to save our girls and civil way young people and give them health care so they can have a future we can top a few people sitting buck and their media creating more billions for themselves while people are denied the right to health and the right to life this is a human right and im here to tell governments to do the right thing tox control talks door to tax the rich and spend on Peoples Health spend on our Childrens Health well thank you very much for sharing your perspective with us winnie be on ema executive director of u. N. Aids it is of course a very important issue and hopefully it will get the attention it deserves there at davos now its estimated that up to 3 point 6000000. 00 e. U. Citizens live in the u. K. And after the brics a transition period they will all need to prove they can stay in the country settlement scheme is an online application that grants legal status to remain but a new report shows that many people feel that its not providing them with any sense of security Charlie Angela has more. Catarina roo pick is anxious for the past 8 years the 32 year old german has called the u. K. Her home she studied here rents a home here is employed and paid taxes here but when asked to retrospectively account for her time in the u. K. Time she spent abroad unemployed but she does not have a continuous Record Online application granted her preset old status while her boyfriend who followed exactly the same trajectory but with the u. K. Employer was given settled status is there to status and one of them is special then the other and obviously ive been here since 1012th thats obviously the one i would want to go for and ultimately i still feel that even the home office cant really tell us what the status is as well as wes so lets say i would like to try and rent again to find a new flats lets try and apply for a new job or maybe even want to buy a house and how is that the states perceived a new study shows those concerns a shared by many launched by the Campaign Group 3000000 they say some who had not yet completed the online application were being discriminated against they cited evidence of employers withholding job offers people being denied health care and others prevented from opening Bank Accounts so in the survey we have a quite a high number of people who are choosing not to apply for Different Reasons and the one high bracket there is people who dont apply out of principle a lot of them have been at home in the u. K. For a very long time and that clearly is playing a fact a part in their decision not to apply they feel revolted disgusted by the fact that they even should have to apply and therein lies the crux they say if it was a Registration System we might well do it but enough to cation system very different its estimated that tens of thousands of people have still not applied and when the deadline expires in less than 18 months will be left without legal rights risk of a victualling detention and deportation.
