Good morning, NBC News readers.
The Democrats presented their opening arguments in the Senate impeachment trial, three Chinese cities are now on lockdown as coronavirus fears grow, and Eli Manning bows out.
Here's what we're watching this Thursday morning.
Democrats paint Trump as election cheat on Day Two of Senate trial Opening arguments began in President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial on Wednesday, with Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., telling senators they need to remove Trump from office because he's shown he's ready and willing to cheat in the 2020 election. "The president's misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box because we cannot be assured the vote will be fairly won," Schiff told the Senate. He called Trump's efforts to get a foreign government to announce an investigation into his political rival "a gross abuse of power" that requires the Senate to act.
Three Chinese cities on lockdown, travel disrupted amid coronavirus outbreak Millions of Chinese had to cancel travel plans and hunker down in their homes to avoid exposure to a new, mysterious coronavirus Thursday as three cities in central China went on lockdown to curb the spread of the deadly virus that has already claimed 17 lives.
Health officials in China said that as of Wednesday more than 570 cases of the coronavirus have been confirmed across China.
Officials at the World Health Organization (WHO) are expected to hold a press conference on Thursday to announce whether the outbreak can be classed as a global emergency.
New cases have also been popping up outside the country's borders, including two new cases in neighboring Hong Kong and one in the U.S.
Many Chinese were stocking up on face masks and avoiding crowded places like cinemas and shopping centers.
"I couldn't find any mask on the market for sale. I dare not go outside," said college student Du Sijia, 21, from Xiamen on China's southeast coast.

In a statement published Wednesday morning, David Kaye, the U.N. special rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression, and Agnes Callamard, the U.N.'s special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, wrote that there is a "reasonable belief" that the accusation has merit.
