the independent uses almost identical pictures of trump and greta thunberg. it says the 17—year—old accuse the us president of inaction that is fuelling the fla mes of inaction that is fuelling the fla m es of of inaction that is fuelling the flames of the climate emergency. to the times, it has the quote from donald trump accusing critics of being prophets of doom. trump dismisses alarmist green lobby at climate focus in davos. the i claims donald trump is the earth's number one climate change denier. jeff bezos had his phone hacked and there is also a dramatic picture about the spread of the caronavirus. and the daily mirror goes on the revelation by 0zzy and the daily mirror goes on the revelation by ozzy osbourne that he has parkinson's disease. so let's turn to our reviews and i think we are going to start with the guardian and the prophets of doom. polly, you start us off this time. donald trump has called for the prophets of doom which seems to be a thinly veiled reference to greta thunberg, held up as a saint of the anti—climate change movement.

that is what greta thunberg wanted world leaders to know. even though she did not mention donald trump directly, there was a stark contrast, aside from the tree plan that donald trump presented and that is that she said we cannot rely on technologies that have not been invented yet, hinting at donald trump's optimistic message that we will somehow figure everything out. brent: also boris johnson and his selection ashes solutions in the brexit crisis. my colleague there in davo's, switzerland. thank you. here are some of the other stories making headlines. protesters in puerto rico are demanding the resignation of the governor over the botched delivery of emergency aid after earthquakes that left thousands in need. public anger erupted over a viral video showing a government warehouse full of supplies left from hurricane maria in 2017. police have summoned the prime minister for questioning over the murder of his estranged wife. she was gunned down outside her home two days before her husband's inauguration. the couple were getting divorced a

tackle climate change. >> we are going to be hearing from greta thunberg. we will see if she's going to be asked directly about donald trump. that comment about people who talked about pessimism when it came to climate. the teentrump. activist had spoken this morning saying she would continue repeating the warnings about the danger of climate onlye and how the world has eight years to keep the temperature rise under two degrees. temperature rise under two degrees. we are waiting to see if she reacts to what donald trump has to say. the president made one other reference to the environment saying the united states would participate in the one trillion trees program. that's being supported by the world economic forum as well. >> thank you for that update. donald trump's impeachment trial is set to begin in the senate later on today. donald trump's impeachment trial is set to begin in the senate later on today. trial rules say senate leader mitch mcconnell he is dedicated to a speedy trial. democrats have already accused republican leadership of orchestrating

the starkest of contrasts here at davos between trump and greta thunberg. the president of the us in an otherwise optimistic speech talking about how great and amazing he felt the us economy was doing, chose to take a couple of minutes to direct his annoyance and it was annoyance come at those climate change protesters. he didn't name greta thunberg but we all know who those words were targeted at, the prophets of doom, as he called them. the fortune tellers, he also called them. he really thinks there is a trade—off, a trade—off between a thriving us economy and too much regulation and climate change alleviation and that was the message he did want to hit back on. it wasn't a message overall popular, even amongst the elite businessmen and financiers here. they are more in tune with the idea of at least trying to do something about climate change. when asked very specifically if he had a message to greta thunberg, he said actually, he was being part of a plan to plant in a million trees and the american water was one of the cleanest water in the world.

greta thunberg. when greta became sharon, the climate change campaigner gets in on thejoke and changes her twitter name. and in this week's click, the team takes a look at facial recognition technology, the future of space travel, and super—fast sports cars. that's in half an hour. the iranian president, hassan rouhani, has said america has made a strategic mistake by killing tehran‘s most senior military commander, and warned the us will face difficult days ahead. the funeral procession for qassem soleimani has been taking place in baghdad after he was killed by a drone strike at the city's airport on thursday night. president trump said he ordered the action to stop a war, not start one, and was not seeking regime change in iran. the foreign office has warned against all travel to iraq, and all but essential travel to iran. david willis reports. american officials say the air strike that killed qassem soleimani was carried out in self defence. they say the man who's been blamed for the deaths o

thunberg, who was in the audience when the president announced the u.s. will join an initiative to plant 1 trillion trees saying - >> this is not a time for pessimism. this is a time for optimism >> reporter: in her own panel later in the day, thunberg seemed to fire back saying "it's not enough to plant trees. and adding -- >> you say children shouldn't worry. you say just leave this to us don't be so pessimistic. and then nothingng news here, ukraine's president zelensky at the center of the impeachment controversy expected here in davos tomorrow in an interview with "the wall street journal," president trump said he has no plans to meet with zelensky, but he is open to it lester >> all right, kristen welker in davos, thank you and the president's team of course closely monitoring all this from davos all the way back to the white house nbc's hallie jackson is there for us tonight hallie, what can we expect the rest of the week >> well, listen, lester, today was about the rules of the road, but starting tomorrow, the rubber really meets the road with hou

and climate change activist greta thunberg had this message for world leaders. how dare you! you have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. what a year it's been. welcome to a year in science, where we'll be looking at the biggest stories of 2019. there was, of course, one issue that dominated. that was climate change. not so long ago, people thought of it as a theoretical issue. but this year, we began to see the impact of a threat that's all too real. australia is enduring a bushfire crisis that has destroyed many homes, killing several people. bushfires happen here regularly. he'll need rescuing, won't he? blazes in new south wales and queensland have never occurred on such a scale and so early in the fire season. it's led many to ask how closely the fires can be linked to climate change. in venice, the problem was flooding. it left much of the italian city underwater. many of the ancient city's historic landmarks were damaged and there are also fears of structural damage to its famous cathedral, st mark's basilica. the city's mayor said he believes that

attending this year will be president trump, teenage climate activist greta thunberg and top executives from firms including google, netflix, coca—cola but is there the will to tackle the issue? there's clearly a business impact, a report by the imf and cambridge university found that if temperature continue to rise by 0.04 degrees every year, for the next 80 years people's wealth on average will 7% lower compared to if action is taken. however it's not all bad news, the global commission on adaptation has calculated that a $1.8 trillion investment over the next decade — in measures to adapt to climate change, could produce benefits worth more than $7 trillion. well to get more on this, the bbc‘s sally bundock is in davos for us this week and sent this report. world leaders chief executives, celebrities and others gathered here at the world economic forum are being forced to face the multifaceted climate crisis. for the first time ever, it dominates the forum's annual report. we spoke to one teenage climate activist here who talks of her frustrations. we see that their intention i

greta thunberg. one of these awful moments. mind blank. i have had lots of those on any number of quiz shows over the yea rs. on any number of quiz shows over the years. plenty on programme as well! a clip of her answer has been viewed more than five million times online. the video soon made its way back to greta thunberg herself, and yesterday she changed her name on twitter. i like that! sharon is with us now! we have all done it! i think it happens to everyone. we are talking the fa cup to begin with. the little quys the fa cup to begin with. the little guys against the big guys. manchester city won the competition last year, and it is a special place in the weekend schedules this weekend because it is the fa cup third round, where the smaller teams get to shine against the big boys, and they don't come much bigger than the holders manchester city, and thatis the holders manchester city, and that is where league 2 side port vale are this evening. they enjoyed a comfortable win against cheltenham, but they won't recognise the etihad stad

among those present was the teenage climate activist, greta thunberg, who tore into political leaders, and the economic priorities driving their decisions. you say, "just leave this to us, we will fix this, we promise we won't let you down, don't be so pessimistic." and then... ..nothing... ..silence. we'll have the latest from davos and from washington, on the impeachment process against president trump. also tonight: in china, experts warn that a new respiratory virus can be expected to spread right across the country and into other neighbouring states within days. the duke and duchess of sussex have issued a legal warning, after the latest photographs by paparazzi were published around the world. and in australia, after the devastation of months of wildfires — we report on the signs of hope emerging at long last. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news: a busy night in the premier league, but will manchester city miss the chance to close the gap at the top? good evening. at the world economic forum in davos, president trump has directed some of his hardest criticism to date at cli

greta thunberg. well this was how the climate change activist responded last night, clearly seeing the funny side of the story. she's since changed her name back for her 3.9 million followers on twitter to the more predictable greta thunberg. a portrait of the queen and her three heirs to the throne has been released to mark the start of the new decade. the photograph, which was taken the week before christmas, shows the prince of wales, the duke of cambridge and prince george standing alongside her majesty at buckingham palace. it is the second official portrait of the four generations of royals together. now, it's time for a look at the weather. we can cross the newsroom to ben rich. it is not too bad at the moment if you like it dry, a lot of dry weather out there, but the sunshine varies. some of us are stuck with cloud today, it is rolling in from the west. the east of the uk

greta thunberg. well this was how the climate change activist responded last night(oov) clearly seeing the funny side of the story. she's since changed her name back for her 3.9 million followers on twitter to the more predictable greta thunberg. now time for the weather. good afternoon. we have had a lot of cloud in some parts of the uk so far today. that has broken up a little bit in places to give a little bit of sunshine. this is how it looked in county durham early on with some sunny skies overhead. through the best of the afternoon, the eastern side of the uk. brightening up a little bit across the south—west as well. further north and west, decal thick enough to produce the odd spot of drizzle. temperatures between seven and 10 degrees. tonight we will bring in more cloud from the west, still producing the odd spot of rain. slightly more persistent into northern scotland but for eastern scotland, where we do see some clear breaks, temperatures will get quite close to freezing. four and 9 deg

greta thunberg. well, this was how the climate change activist responded last night, clearly seeing the funny side of the story. she's since changed her name back for her 3.9 million followers on twitter to the more predictable greta thunberg. a portrait of the queen and her three heirs to the throne has been released to mark the start of the new decade. the photograph, which was taken the week before christmas, shows the prince of wales, the duke of cambridge and prince george standing alongside her majesty at buckingham palace. it is the second official portrait of the four generations of royals together. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's gavin good morning. batting line up england are making headway into the south african batting line up as they hope to stay in contention, in the 2nd test. they finished this morning on 269 but have taken 3 south african wickets in reply. stuart broad with two of the wickets, and james anderson with the other. they're at lunch in cape

you also have teen climate activist greta thunberg and top executives from companies including google, netflix and coca—cola. but is there the will to be able to tackle the issue of climate change? there's clearly a business impact because a report by the imf and cambridge university found if attempts continue to rise by 0.01; found if attempts continue to rise by 0.04 degrees every year, people's wealth on average will be 7% lower for the next 80 years compared to if action is now taken. sally bundock is there for us. world leaders, chief executives, celebrities and others who are gathered here at the world economic forum are being full to face the multifaceted climate crisis. for the first time ever, it dominates the forum's annual report. we spoke to one teenage climate activist here who talks of her frustrations. we see that the intention is in the right place but the change isn't happening fast enough, so one of the roles us as the ten selected young changemakers here is to not only add pressure but convince them if we can lead by example, why can't they? business leaders recog

the president then locking euroar-old -- mocking 16 greta thunberg. mocking ahis week deceased, for possibly being in hell. guest: i am not going to defend the president. point,to speak to the barron trump is a child. he is the son of the president. greta thunberg, she put herself in the middle of a very hot debate about climate change in this country. she is 16, but she has become the face of a very hot political debate in this country. i think there is a large difference between barron trump being the son of the president and greta thunberg being a spokesperson for a political issue. host: you are right on that point, but melania trump in her be best campaign, one of the mantras is to make sure there is more civil discourse and social media, but you get that from her present. she is only 16 years old and she was mocked by the president because of what she believes in. sure, i think the 63 million people who voted for donald trump knew what they were getting. he was bombastic on twitter years before he was sworn in. i just don't think that those peop

you can be sure that greta thunberg will be harsh on these executives today. sonali, we are seeing equities tumble and havens rising in asia based on this coronavirus. there has been confirmation of human to human transmission. you could argue that after seven weeks of gains in equities, perhaps people were looking for an exit point. jean raby ceo of natixis investment said, one small isolated event does not have the potential to derail markets at this point. is this likely to cause concern among delegates today? sonali: it will definitely come up, especially because we have delegates from all over the world here. another question that is underpinning what you said, people were worried about this bull market, the short answer is yes. someone from guggenheim partners put out a note last night say that the market is a ponzi scheme fueled by central banks can lead he is worried about the sustainability of these asset prices in the longer term. nejra: thank you so much, great to have you with us with the diary. as she was saying, sustainability is one of the main

turning to the other big speaker of the day and mentioned in the report there, greta thunberg. she had sharp words again for government leaders and business leaders accusing them of empty words and empty reassurance, do you think that's a legitimate charge?m certainly true that not enough is being done and it's a little too much to say empty, some of them are empty but some are trying to do stuff. in the uk the government is trying to do stuff commits that 2050 at the target for zero carbon and now it's going to implement, we hope various ways in which it can be done. so there's a lot of rhetoric and not enough action but let's hope they are getting going on it. and not enough action but let's hope they are getting going on itm and not enough action but let's hope they are getting going on it. if you we re they are getting going on it. if you were at kavas, and we know it's very —— davos. we know it's very focused on these challenges and founded by a business leaders who have commercial power in their hands, what would be your top message them? on that not a business person

you have mentioned greta tim berg —— greta thunberg is hip, but also climate activists. they have been given very prominent positions at various speeches and events throughout the world economic forum. when president trump arrives, and he is due to arrive in around an hour, we are listening out for the helicopter, he will in some ways not be able to avoid the conversations about climate change. of course he famously pulled the us out of the paris agreement soon after he was elected, so it's not his favourite subject but he is addressing delegates here at 11:30am at local time, so 10:30am gmt. there is huge anticipation about what he will say. of course he has come here a week after signing phase one of the trade agreement with china. so he is expected to have a softer tone on trade but the concern on part of the europeans here is, will he turn his attention to europe? there you go, you can see the footage of president trump. he is actually landing. 0nce he has landed he will be whisked to the intercontinental hotel, which is down the road from where i am standing. he wil

greta thunberg is due to be speaking there. whether she is keeping an eye on the prophet, if you like, of some of these businesses, we will seem. before tax better than the first half of 2019. full-year capacity sent to grow by around 3%. this is a sector that has been hit by higher oil prices. today, down by 1%. certainly that was the talk once we saw elevated tensions in the middle east. we do talk again about this being hurt. let's leave the prophet story there for a moment and the earnings season. as you were saying, selling across this asian session. the downgrade by moody's to hong kong having an impact, but also the coronavirus being cited by one of the reasons we are seeing this selloff. the hong kong market down by 2.6%. theresting to see on japanese sovereign bond markets a little bit of movement right out at the 30 year time horizon. boj, noheard from the change in policy stats. keep an eye on the earnings season. week we will be wrapping up the earnings story. news from ubs will be in focus. you have other breaking

—— with greta thunberg ben ijalana delegates. the other micro she is at the heart of the world economic forum and is here with nine other teenage climate activists very much putting their message that time is running out, that the business leaders here, the heads of state, of which there are 53, including president trump, must take action to avert a climate crisis. previously when greta thunberg was here at the world economic forum she was somebody who just showed up uninvited, conducting a silent protest. now she is very much at the centre of this year's davos. as you say, president trump has literally arrived in the last a0 minutes and is due to address delegates here, world leaders, in about an hour. everybody will be hanging on his every word. i would imagine of course he will push the american first message, he will be talking about global trade and the fact that he has made so much progress when it comes to a therapy in fields when it comes to a therapy in fields when it comes to a therapy in fields when it comes to trade,

and greta thunberg pressured leaders to cut carbon emissions and he had this message for greta thunberg. >> i want us to have the cleanest water and air, that's what we have right now. >> the u.s. will join the 1 trillion trees initiative and tomorrow he has and one-on-one meeting with the president of iraq. this will be the first meeting with a top iraqi officials since the recent hostilities with iran. >>> police are investigating a deadly mobile home fire in sunnyvale. flames broke out at the el dorado mobile home park. they were able to rescue a 67- year-old woman from the burning home. once they spotted a second woman, a 71-year-old man, it was too late. >> it was very quiet. so, i don't know how the fire was actually going. >> it gutted the place, i was only outside for a half-hour and the entire place was gun from the inside >>> woman is in the hospital in critical condition and it's unclear what started the fire. >>> police are trying to figure out what caused a deadly crash in san leandro overnight. this happened near interstate 80. one person was found dead and the car is char

i talk about, since we brought up greta thunberg, the united states in the epa's global output the epa released status of the united states hit a record low in carbon emissions in 2017. in researching this book, i really just remember hearing the mainstream media report that. in fact, the united states leads the world in carbon emission decreases i think it was andrew yang who said it as i wrote about in the book that the united states accounts for just 15 percent of the carbon emissions. i think the angst the uneasiness and probably the raise you here in jim's voice is probably not specifically directed at you steve and your colleagues but just at the sense that the media at large is not telling the whole truth and going along to get along and propping up people like greta thunberg and isn't exactly reporting that it is countries like china, it is the european union it's north korea it's around, it's russia who are leading the world in carbon emissions and quite frankly have have no plan and intention to meet whatever the united nations global admissions standards are. that rage and f

greta thunberg, the swedish climate change activist. she accused many of the companies and leaders of countries of basically making promises but not doing anything of any significant substance to tackle the climate change emergency. president trump is trying to keep the message focussed on a safe ground and as you pointed out earlier, he is having a business breakfast with a number of top-level ceos of european and u.s. tech companies. that's taking place imminently as we speak. it appear there had was only one female ceo who had been invited, a ceo of a spanish bank. his pitch is come and invest in america, hire our workers. he also pitched that to his many millions of followers on twitter saying earlier on twitter, quote, making great progress at davos. tremendous numbers will be coming to the u.s.a. hottest economy and in capitol letters, he wrote three times jobs. so, jobs, jobs, jobs. he's also with the likes of larry kudlow and his daughter. she spent much of the evening tweeting that she got a japanese company to push investments

he is 12 minutes behind and they just asked about climate change, greta thunberg will be speaking as part of a group of people talking about climate change, a big focus on that this year. >> greta thunberg was named person of the year by time magazine. i can't hear you. the control room is talking to us right now. taking a live look at what is going on in davos, switzerland, greta thunberg is supposed to have a debate on how to diverge climate apocalypse. donald trump said i'm a believer in the environment and that is all we heard from him about what is going on with the impeachment trial. rob: focusing on getting businesses to come back to the united states, stuff he likes to talk about. he doesn't talk about climate change much. more interesting is the irony of an event focused more on climate change being attended by a wealth of people arriving in private jets, helicopters that has been talked about ad nausea. >> we will keep you updated. we have other headlines to get to. michael avenatti waking up in the same jail cell that once housed drug kingpin el chapo. he awaits trial for

climate cha teenage activist greta thunberg gave hard-hitting speech while the american president took some shots of his own. s jamerobbins has more. james: donald has flown over 4000 miles from washington to the alne heights of davos, hoping to look more like a president on the world stage, less like a defendant back home. he is treading carefully on all the ice and snow. any fall here would look will this gathering of the world economic forum 5000 feet up in switzerland give an embattled president the high gund he craves even without impeachment, he is way out of step with the main goal of this meeting, to do much more to tackle level temperature rise. >> but to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow, we must reject the perennial prophets of doomic and their prons of the acalypse. they are the heirs of yesterday's foolish fortunetellers, and i havvethem and you them, and we all have them. they want to see us do badly but we do not let that happen. james: being here todain switzerland and not in washington, the pree dent may feel among friends, surrounded by more than 100 fellow billio

. >>> coming up, a war of words between donald trump and teen activist greta thunberg today. >>> plus, several u.s. groups working to save the lives of hundreds of animals left homeless in puerto rico. >>> coming up, all new at 6, a flight fight over aging ficus trees in san francisco. why people are trying to reject the canopy of the city are preventing new trees from being planted. >>> as president trump's impeachment trial begins he is thousands of miles away in switzerland attending the world economic forum. in a speech this morning and the president touted the u.s. economy and announce the climate change initiative while his impeachment trial is not far from his mind. skyler henry reports from the white house. >> >> reporter: in a meeting with the president of the european commission, president trump sounded off on his impeachment trial just getting underway back in washington. >> i'm sure it's going to work out fine. >> reporter: it was the second time the president publicly denounced his impeachment since arriving at the world economic forum in switzerland. in his speech, in fr

thunberg, who was in the audience when the president announced the u.s. will join an initiative to plant one trillion trees, saying -- >> this is not a time for pessimism. this is a time for optimism >> reporter: in her own panel later in the day, thunberg seemed to fire back saying "it's not enough to plant trees. and adding -- >> you say children shouldn't worry. you say just leave this to us don't be so pessimistic. and then nothing silence. >> reporter: also making news here, ukraine's president zelensky at the center of the impeachment controversy expected here in davos tomorrow in an interview with "the wall street journal," president trump said he has no plans to meet with zelensky, but he is open to it lester >> all right, kristen welker in davos, thank you and the president's team of course closely monitoring all this from davos all the way back to the white house nbc's hallie jackson is there for us tonight hallie, what can we expect the rest of the week >> well, listen, lester, today was about the rules of the road, but starting tomorrow, the r

greta thunberg is talking so we will listen. we are not telling you to keep talking about reaching net zero emissions or carbon neutrality by cheating and fiddling around with numbers. we are not telling you to offset your omissions byjust telling you to offset your omissions by just paying telling you to offset your omissions byjust paying someone else to plant trees in places like africa while, at the same time, forests like the amazon are being slaughtered at an infinitely higher rate. planting trees is good, of course, but it is nowhere near enough for what is needed and it cannot replace real litigations and real—world nature. let us be clear, we do not need a low carbon economy. we do not need to lower emissions. our emissions have to stop if you have two —— if you want to get below the target. until we have the technology that can put our emissions to minus at that scale, we must forget about net zero. we need real zero. distant net zero. we need real zero. distant net zero emission targets will mean absolutely noth

last summer at my home state in california and young people like greta thunberg powerfully reminded us that we are the last generation that can prevent a catastrop catastrophe. i decided it was time for me to do more. the united states fonda says it is failing to act. civic protests have defined her as much of an actress that brought her two golden globes and one emmy. but it is not always without controversies. during the tour in vietnam in 1872 to protest the war, fonda's photo in hanoi appears to be aiming at american planes landed on the wrong side of public opinion, sidelined her career and stuck her with the nickname hanoi jam. it was a mistake she wrote that she will "regret to her dying day." >> changing climate, the world must address. each of us one day will have to answer this question. what did i do to protect the planet for our children, grandchildren and so many precious species while we still have time? please join me and welcoming jane fonda to our national press club. [ applause ] >> thank you very much. thank you for being here and thank you to the national press club

he doesn't appear to be a fan of greta thunberg who is speaking later. what will he say about climate change? that remains to be seen because, as you said, he has pulled the us out of the paris agreement. a large part of his campaign in 2016 was funded by the coke industries and others, and he is appointed to the environmental protection agency of the united states a succession of people who do not actually believe that climate change exists and he himself has called climate change a chinese hoax. it will be interesting to see what he says and he has also insulted greta thunberg on a few occasions as well. president trump is not necessarily known for being consistent with what he says and certainly there is not much consistency in what he says to what he actually does on a number of different questions. i await with interest. what is not chinese hoax is the trade were with china. presumably that will, because he is addressing political and economic leaders. it will, because the phase one deal with china was signed very recently. he has bigoted up as the

how do i keep them encouraged after president trump intimidated greta thunberg? >> ah, yeah. well, help them feel sorry for him. help them understand that a man who could do that to a girl like greta is so empty, so lacking in empathy and compassion that we need to be compassionate. we may hate the behavior, but we have to understand that the behavior is the language of the traumatized so we don't hate the traumatized. and then encourage them to see what's happening with the students all over the world. tell them they can join a movement. say here's the thing that i've discovered, and it wasn't just with the fire drill fridays, i learned it a long time ago. activism is the antidote to despair. better than prozac, better than all the other things. it lifts you out of despair when you align yourself with your deepest values and start doing something more than you did before. when trump was elected, i like many of you, i felt like a truck had hit me, i was so desperate. then i went to standing rock. and the depression lifted. i was very depressed before i moved to d.c., because

that may help, and, again, greta thunberg. i think the politics has changed. the question is whether the political action is there. amir? well, it takes around 50 years for an idea to become fashionable in the west, and this idea has not become fashionable. the first time they talked about it was harold wilson in 1964 during the general election, that the planet is in danger and so on. mrs thatcher talked about it at the united nations during her speech there, but gradually it has become fashionable, for example a few years ago it was the ozone hole that we were worried about. before that it was colonialism, before that it was development... and is fashionable enough to trigger action? i don't think so. i don't expect anything to come out of places like davos. i went to davos, from the first meeting, for 20 years... you know, because human affairs cannot be planned. this is a pseudo—marxian idea that some people can sit down... i am going to take your pseudo—marxian idea and one word from each of you on the individual action that can be planned. i know the

donald trump clashes with greta thunberg by attacking the pessimism of environmental campaigners. we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse. health chiefs warn that a deadly pneumonia virus is spreading beyond china, with a case confirmed in the us. campus concerns. a warning from lawmakers about the influence beijing may be having on british universities. hello to you. republicans, who are in the majority in the us senate, have now rejected three attempts by democrats to obtain documents in president trump's impeachment trial. it's an early sign of the partisan divide that seems very likely to see mr trump acquitted. democrats see the refusal to allow new evidence as a cover up. the latest live in a moment but first, here's our north america editor, jon sopel. hear ye, here ye, here ye, all persons are commanded to keep silent on pain of imprisonment. 1868, 1999 and now 2020, for only the third time in american history, the serjeant—at—arms tells senators on pain of imprisonment that they must maintain silence and decorum in the tri

and indeed greta thunberg. it takes around 50 years for an idea to become fashionable in the west, and this idea has not become fashionable. the first time they talked about it was harold wilson in 1964 during the general election, that the planet is in danger and so on. mrs thatcher talked about it at the united nations during her speech day, but gradually it has become fashionable, for example a few years ago it was the ozone hole we were worried about, before that it was colonialism, before that it was development... and is fashionable enough to trigger action? i don't think so. i don't expect anything to come out of places like davos. i went to davos for the first meeting in 20 years because human affairs cannot be planned. this is a pseudo—marxian idea that some people can sit down... i am going to take your pseudo—marxian idea and one word from each of you on the individual action that can be planned, i know the big structural issues are less easy to plan. greg, what is your resolution for 2020? i hav

greta thunberg speaking there. representatives of australia's tourism industries say the country's recent bushfires have already cost them almost 700 million dollars with that number likely to increase further in the coming months. many international visitors are expected to stay away even though most of the fires are now out or under control. tourism is estimated to account for more than 3% of australia's annual economic output, and one in every 13 of itsjobs. the bbc‘s phil mercer reports from kangaroo valley in new south wales. tourism has been badly affected by the bushfire crisis. this is kangaroo valley, with its famous bridge, about two hours to the south of sydney. now this is a place that this time of the year that should be full of visitors, but it's not because people are staying away because of the fires. and this is the story that's been repeated in many other parts of the country. everyone's devastated, you know. their livelihoods are at risk at the moment and people are being laid off and, you know

one of them was greta thunberg who blasted politicians for continuing to ignore global warming. now one of trump's minions is firing back. >> u.s. treasury secretary steve mnuchin unleashes verbal act on teen climate activist greta thunberg, both at the world economic forum in switzerland. she said in a speech she wants businesses worldwide to stop investing in fossil fuels. mnuchin told reporters considering her an economist is a joke and she needs to come back after she goes to college and gets an economic degree. >> trevor: yeah, steve mnuchin, u.s. treasury secretary says greta should go to school before she comments on the global economy. why don't you go to school, greta, before you comment on the economy? since when does the trump administration listen to anyone with an education? there's no difference. ( laughter ) seriously, this is not a white house that cares about education. the education secretary doesn't care act experience. they put a sleepy doctor in charge of housing. the current head of the e.p.a. was a coal lobbyist. forget an environmental sign degree, he wou

and teen environmentalist greta thunberg will be there in davos. can we expect the two of them to expect paths in any ways. we've seen him spar at her in the past. >> reporter: yes, at the general assembly president trump smirked at her and had nasty remarks on twitter at the same time. this is a different venue and i'll explain why, rosemary. i think the global chief executive community is feeling the heat of climate change and can't talk about it any more and have to put forward concrete actions. coming into the world economic forum, we saw an announcement from microsoft and net zero carbon emissions going forward. the u.k. was the first country to do so. we saw a trillion dollar fund put forward by the european union and say by 2050 we'll have zero emissions going forward. the president is not in denial about the forum and putting greta thunberg on the stage. she'll get a lot of support from the global community for them being slow to adapt on this worldwide on the issue. >> we'll be watching to see if their paths do cross in any way. it should

there's obviously the team activist, greta thunberg there putting the spotlight in, the president also taking a bit of a swipe at her again. >> reporter: yeah, that's exactly right. she was in the oaudience when h gave his speech. when he said climate change is not a real thing and said that america has the cleanest water and air in the world. the confrontation between them continues. i will say, there's a powerful sense at this conference where there are 119 billionaires with climate change front and center of the agenda, whatever the president has to say. >> 190 billionaires, you're in good company there, keir. >> reporter: 119. not quite so many. >> i was going to say. >> thank you. we're going to be watching for the president's meeting with the iraqi president. >>> hillary clinton walks back comments about bernie sanders. what the senator and 2020 candidate is saying about her remarks, next. could be your kind of cure. i just found out about mine. i knew for years epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate. i had no symptoms of hepatitis c mine caused liver damage. epclusa is only one pil
