it is far from over. he turns the camera on himself when i salute take control and his family are forced to flee no where to hide a witness documentary on al-jazeera. her. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm so robin you're watching the al-jazeera news our live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes back at work after his own coronavirus battle the british prime minister says the u.k. lockdown must stay in place. but italy is preparing to loosen restrictions after the deaths of more than $26000.00 the longest lockdown in europe. also masks are made compulsory in africa's biggest city with penalties for those flouting the

rules. also 200 migrants are left homeless after a fire in a greek camp we'll speak to one of the groups working on the island. and then school formula one and now says its plan to start the delayed 2020 season after losing the 10 races to curve it 19 that they hope to begin with the off chance in july with us spectators. welcome to the news hour we are waiting for an update on the current virus pandemic live from the w.h.o. in geneva very soon we'll be bringing you that as soon as we get it but we begin the news hour in the united kingdom where prime minister boris johnson has returned to work after he was infected there have been more than 150000 cases and more than 20000 deaths in the u.k. and he says it's too soon to ease the lockdown he spent 8 days in hospital 3 of

them in intensive care after being diagnosed with the virus a month ago johnson believes progress is being made but is warning of a risk of a 2nd wave. if this virus were a physical assailant an unexpected and invisible mugger which i can tell you propose to experience it is then this is the moment when we have begun together to wrestle it to the floor i know it is tough and i want to get this economy moving as fast as i can but i refuse to throw away all the effort and the sacrifice of the british people and to risk a 2nd major outbreak and huge loss of life and the overwhelming of the n.h.s. of course but in general joins me now from downing street in central london and generally the tone of the prime minister's message was really of one hoping to

rally the public around his cause and his vision of how to deal not just with the virus but a future u.k. free of the virus. moon rallying reassuring he did attempt to talk up a sort of positives up to now not easy under the circumstances chief among them of course bob sips the simple fact that the prime minister is back standing behind a podium addressing the british public outside 10 downing street a real achievement that in itself even if he does return to step straight back into a whole series of controversies of difficult questions and criticisms leveled at him or his handling of the crisis in the early days his government's handling of the crisis while he's been ill the perceptions of a slow rip's response as the death toll the hospital death toll ticks way past 20000 possibly much higher even than that there are still gaping holes in p. p. e. protection equipment for health care workers on the front line the testing targets

are nowhere near being met and louder and louder calls for all sorts of quarters for quite when and how this lockdown is going to be lifted as it tears into the british economy here although many did different difficult questions for the prime minister to grapple with he put his best foot forward here trying to emphasize the positives the progress that has been made flattening the curve up to now the n.h.s. the health service has not been overwhelmed as many feared we're approaching he said the point where we turn the tide but to those people asking when the lockdown will be lifted where there was disappointment the time is not right now he said the numbers are too high the risk of a 2nd wave still far too great and dangerous his message to the public to businesses to members of his own party even calling for the lockdown to be lifted contain your impatience there's still a long way to go. and of course he will have to answer those difficult questions very much questions about the personal protective equipment that nurses and doctors

have been demanding and also the ongoing death toll beyond. the hospital's big question marks. yes there are alarming indications about the size of the death toll in places like care homes outside of those officially registered hospital deaths that's the only thing that makes up the official government number each day care home deaths and deaths in the community are not included in those numbers and there are really quite shocking signs that those numbers may be much much higher than many people feared possibly or adding an extra 50 percent to the u.k.'s death toll and could well be set in this country on a trajectory jek treetops being the worst affected country in europe from coronavirus yes p.p. is a problem yes testing is a problem how we have in this country going to get out of lockdown if the testing

targets are not being met and the contact tracing elements of the overall measure that will be needed to contain a 2nd wave are not being met it was only last week that the government called for 18000 volunteers to come forward and help with context trace you know clearly nowhere near prepared for the 2nd wave and therefore until they are remotely there can't be any talk about a lifting of the law. journal in london thanks so much. now the prime minister made no mention of the various criticisms of him and his government and just to recap medics across the country say supplies of p.p. equipment has been insufficient the target of 100000 tests for day has not been met britain actually tested fewer than 29000 people in the past 24 hours there's concern the death toll is likely to be far higher government numbers refer only to hospital deaths but do not include deaths in the community and care homes

coronavirus has now claimed more than 20700 lives in the u.k. hospitals with more than one 152000 confirmed cases. mayor goodfellow is a journalist and political commentator in london she believes the prime minister's words and tone don't match the reality. he talked about the people looking at the u.k. and apparent success in relation to corona virus that actually we have at the moment have one of the death rates in the will and 20000 more than 20000 deaths in hospital and now they get seems to be much higher if you take into account deaths in the community and deaths in cannes and you know these are not just figures on it and see these are human beings these are people across the country who have lost their family their loved ones and will be mourning enough of this very moment and i think it's quite insulting to boris johnson's take this turn to not mention p.t.e. shortages do not mention the crisis not at social classes don't do not even engage

with leavening be any failures in these criticisms of government and i don't so say is he used the analogy of the virus being something like if there's a cliff say and he talked about being as invisible an unexpected mother and as well as we just like in this kind of natural language unplanned helpful it's also a natural this was not unexpected in so far as the u.k. had a bigger lead time than many other countries in the world more time to pass through this and it seems that the government has not done that has not followed w.h.o. advice and him's of testing trades in not isolating and you know for a lot of public workers frontline workers there that we've been supermarket and it just that camera because people working in hospitals it is upsetting i think to hear the prime minister talk like this as if their experience in their day to day isn't happening at all and i would say that it's only a few weeks ago that adult child 3 and it just doctor was desperately pleading with

p.p.p. and died from coronavirus there is a big disconnect he of the between her prime minister was talking and what's actually happening and i think government needs to engage with these criticisms not just the criticism sake that to learn from it and to respond to those cases. well it's only is preparing to emerge from the longest coronavirus lockdown in europe for next week people will be allowed to visit relatives and some businesses will reopen it seen the 2nd highest number of deaths in the world after the us but on sunday the daily toll fell to its lowest level in more than a month however prime minister just happy commentate says people who still need to wear masks and observe social distancing we have got to imagine that they are committed to a legal so for me for the wholesale sector will restart but it is obvious that we'll need a market and therefore from 18 we expect to reopen the retail sector from then we are also planning to reopen museums exhibitions and libraries and sport teams can resume training we also hope that june 1st will be the date for the reopening of

bars restaurants beauty salons and hairdressers basically our personal care activities and just go jumbo tony has more from the land on how they were hoping plan will work. prime minister does a pick on turnout last night how the country will enter now and phase 2 of the pandemic italy will try to restart the economy without pushing the curve of the infections up again factories and building sites in italy were reopened from may 4th this was the biggest announcement people will be allowed to leave their houses to go to work and also to visit their family social gatherings are and away still bend and it's not possible to move from region to region sporting activities could be now practice also far from home but people need to do to do it on their own and have to keep the distance from each other parks will reopen but it won't be

possible to meet others their shops museums and libraries can reopen from may 18th so if the new wave of cases will be allowed will be avoided other businesses will follow restaurants bars and hairdressers will open from june 1st qantas said that the reopening is allowed on condition that all companies involved strict the respect new security protocols in the workplace wearing protective masks become mandatory in or enclosed spaces anyway schools will remain shut until september and this will gave families childcare problems for many months to come germany has combating the spread of coronavirus by making the wearing of mass compulsory while on public transport free musk's have been available in cities nationwide for the past week germany has the 4th highest number of confirmed cases

in europe fewer than 6000 have died which is far lower than neighboring countries john mccain has more from berlin. the mosque order is in place across germany in all the states the 16 states that make up the federal republic but the enforcement of it differs from state to state so in berlin from where i'm from austin right now the order relates purely to public transport so if you use buses like the bus station i'm standing outside now or trains or the metros then you have to wear the mask but the moment you step off public transport you can remove the mosque so if you want to go to one of the shops that have reopened in the course of the last few days you don't need to wear the mask elsewhere in germany you do need to wear the mask the point here is that the decision making by the relevant state governments and by the federal government is informed by the science by the numbers being tabulated by grab a coffee institute which has the authority in this area and right now it is thought

that something around 2 and a half 1000 people are in intensive care perhaps 75 percent of them are on ventilators but equally fewer than $6000.00 people have died from corona virus in germany despite the fact that it has amongst the highest number of infections in europe and one other key statistic which is informing government decisions is getting up to around 3 quarters of all of the confirmed cases of coronavirus have now resulted in the patients concerned recovering which explains why you see the mask order in place but loosening of restrictions in from from state to state. restoration has restarted on the not to dime cathedral in paris after a pause during the coronavirus shutdown the 1st step is ensuring construction crews are protected from the virus while they repair the damage from a year ago despite the delay stance a plans are on trying to reopen the famous landmark in 4 years' time.

when. it's true that we've lost a month and a half but i think that won't affect the overall 5 year plan it doesn't necessarily mean that the entire restoration will be fully completed by the end but it means that we will once again be able to enter the cathedral for worship by. u.s. president donald trump is blaming democrats for late payments to those claiming unemployment benefits in a tweet he said that he had wanted money to be paid to people directly but democrats insist the cash be sent to states for local distribution if the latest in a string of tweets in which he criticizes his opposition and the media our white house correspondent kimberly standing by to analyze what he's been saying the president again tweeting his anger some of it addressed at the media but also we

have some clarity about how press conferences at the white house will. result in the future. yeah we have at least some clarity for today i don't know if we have clarity moving forward the u.s. president has been very frustrated since that public relations fiasco that occurred last week with the u.s. president suggested that injecting disinfected or even shining light inside the human body could potentially get rid of covert 19 well the criticism of that here in the united states and around the world has left the u.s. president tweeting extensively over the weekend lashing out at the news media monday morning no exception when the president said they had a fake news enemy out of the people but what this is led to it appears is some soul searching inside the white house in terms of messaging so the clarity that we've gotten is from the white house press secretary kelly mcenaney and what she's saying

is that for now the briefing at least today is cancelled now we could have a white house briefing later in the week they are working out fine tuning that message saying it could have a new look and feel and chances this is not a result of what occurred last week but the timing certainly is coincidental what we're expecting is that there will be an effort to fine tune the president knowing that his poll numbers are sinking having him speaking more on the economic message not the public health one where things went so horribly wrong so we expect now that we will see the u.s. president at 20 g.m.t. he'll be meeting with retail industry leaders again the desire here of 5 the white house in terms of messaging is to try and focus the president on the economic crisis in this country not the public health one of course can be does seem that the economy opening up continues to be far more important in the president's so in his mind rather than the potential worry of

a 2nd wave of the virus hitting the united states. absolutely in fact that's not just the president saying that but also the treasury secretary steve minucci and even the vice president mike pence who have caused a bit of confusion because they're insisting that social distancing may be behind most americans buy more day which is the end of may a holiday weekend here in the united states but that's not what top public health officials like dr deborah burke's are saying in fact she suggesting the social distancing is here for some time at least through the summer months now this is caused some confusion as states are reopening their economies and they're doing it at different paces in different ways at different times you know over the weekend we saw it in georgia south carolina oklahoma ask alaska that essentially there were hair salons opening up the tattoo parlors bowling alleys and then we've seen in colorado another state in sort of the middle of the united states that they are

allowing curbside retail starting today but then we've had other states that never shut down at all or at least sort of an extensive stay at home order so this is really lead to confusion for a lot of americans what's opened when how this is happening knowing that this is locally there are different restrictions than the federal government is bringing down can be held at a white house correspondent thank you use depends on millions of phone workers to maintain its food supply that come to working and living conditions are putting them at risk increased risk of infection from covert 19 robles or pools. in california the country's largest cultural producer. strawberries are right dinning in the fields waiting to be picked but for farm workers like maria harvest time is a season of fear but. i am afraid of getting sick because if i don't recover i will die so i would leave for children in the all finance i am obviously afraid but

i have to whack maria who is undocumented and asked that her surname not be used is one of an estimated $3000000.00 farm workers in the us all are considered essential workers like doctors nurses and law enforcement but unlike them they are paid low wages have fewer legal protections and many lack protective gear on to seem to me the bottom line the last line think about them they are about. any form workers as a group are already among the least healthy in society poverty lack of access to basic medical care high rates of diabetes hypertension and lung problems from exposure to pesticides means that farm workers are at high risk of becoming extremely ill or dying if they get corona virus a corona virus flare up among farm workers could spread like wild fire extremely

difficult to prevent the spread if there's a there's a major outbreak in the agriculture industry even a good one outbreak among say one careless finally the contractor can cause an outbreak among the whole industry many farm operators do allow workers to practice social distancing for example by working alternate rows of crops but the pay structure discourages stringent hygiene and many workers are being paid piece $3.00 per box to plaster 20 seconds washing your hands can feel any less secure waiting in line during a break and want to get back out there in the fields to pick up more california and a handful of other states have laws. laws providing unemployment insurance and compensation for injuries on the job to farm workers all of the others. do not know just. not. for workers like maria working from home obviously isn't an option and even staying home while sick is an impossible

luxury for many couples i'm the only person in my family that is ending in income so if i'm me it's either you work or you don't. or that i have. they are essential workers putting food on the country's tables every day yet somehow they remain invisible and vulnerable rob reynolds al-jazeera oxnard california. let's just go straight over to geneva on the w.h.o. press conference with the doctor ted ross who will be speaking of course with local audience that's listening to what he has to say. so if you own soon please look for interpretation and switch the channel you want and you are welcome to ask a question in one of those languages if it's more suitable for you also for the 1st time today we have captioning of of the president that's not on zoom that's on

doubly joe remains committed to providing access to as my information as possible in as many languages as possible and reach every corner of our world i have said since the beginning that the most important resource in the fight against corporate 19 is solidarity solidarity solidarity solidarity the launch of the access to coffee of $19.00 accelerator on friday was a powerful demonstration of that. deadly joe is deeply grateful to them many world leaders and partners who have come together to ensure no one misses out on life saving vaccines that are no sticks or therapeutics we

look forward to more countries and stakeholders supporting this global collaboration this global movement this initiative is a vital investment in that response boards for the short term and the long term diagnostics are helping us now to find cases and me should people out of isolated and get the right care. and we're hopeful that the trial will shortly help us to understand which type beauty excited them was safe and effective for treating patients but ultimately we will need a vaccine to control this virus the saxes in developing effective drugs and vaccines for ebola remind us ours of the interim this value of these tools and the enormous power of national and international collaboration

to develop them doubly joe played a key role in the development of the ball of vaccine and we are doing the same for corbett 19 developing a copy of 19 vaccine has been accelerated because of previous work doubly joe and partners have done over several years on vaccines for the record and i voters including cyrus and marius. also copied 19 is taking a heavy toll deputies deeply concerned about the impact the pandemic will have on other health services specially for children children may be added to relatively low risk from severe disease and death from corbett 19 but can be highly scrum other diseases that can be prevented with vaccines this week is world

immunization week immunization is one of the greatest success stories in the history of global health more than 20 does this can be prevented with vaccines every year more than $116000000.00 in funds are vaccinated or 86 percent of all children born globally but there are still more than $13000000.00 children around the world who miss out on vaccination. we know that the number will increase because of course 19 already polio vaccination campaigns have been put on hold and in some countries routine immunization services are being scaled back or shut down with the start of the southern hemisphere flu season it's vital that everyone gets their seasonal flu

vaccine even when service is that operating some parents and caregivers voiding taking their children to be vaccinated because of concerns about 19 and myth and import a mission about vaccines that are adding fuel to the fire putting vulnerable people at risk when vaccination coverage goes down more outbreaks wheelock including of life threatening diseases like measles and polio garvey the vaccine alliance has estimated that at least $21.00 low and middle income countries are already reporting vaccine shortages as a result of border closures and disruptions to travel so far 14 vaccination campaigns supported by the gobby against polio measles called human papillomavirus yellow fever and meningitis have been postponed which would

have immunized more than 13000000 people. the tragic reality is that children will die as a result since 2000 garvey and partners including doubly joe have helped vaccinate more than $760000000.00 children in the world's poorest countries preventing more than 13000000 does. gabi has set an ambitious goal to immunize city $100000000.00 more children with $18.00 since by 2025 to reach this goal garvey will require $7400000000.00 u.s. dollars in its upcoming replenishment we call on the global community to asia garvey's fully funded for this life saving work this is not

a cost it's an investment that pays a reach dividend in lives saved specially in our children just as immunization has been disrupted in some countries so have services for many other diseases that affleck the poorest and most vulnerable people including my leiria as you know saturday was world malaria day and then new modeling analyses published last week estimates the potential disruption to my leader said a visit from corbett 19 in 41 countries in sub-saharan africa in the worst case scenario the number of my leader does in sub-saharan africa could double but that doesn't have to happen and we are working with countries and partners to support them put measures in place to ensure that services for my letter continue

even as quoted 19 spreads as looking down the sea in europe is with declining numbers of new cases we continue to urge countries to find isolate test and treat all cases and press every contact to each sure these declining trends continue but the pandemic is far from over i repeat the pandemic is far from over. w.h.o. continues to be concerned about the increasing trends in africa eastern europe latin america and some asian countries as in all regions cases and is under reported in many countries in these regions because of low testing

capacity we are continuing to support these countries was technical assistance regional in country of his and we supplies solution all the dirty flights in the past week we have delivered supplies to more than 40 countries in africa and more are planned globally doubly joe has shipped millions of items of personal protective equipment to 105 countries and lab supplies to more than 127 countries and we will ship many millions more in the weeks ahead and we are preparing aggressively letter this week doubly joe we launch its 2nd strategy preparedness and response plan with an estimate of the resources needed for the next stage of the global response i would like to tying

the people's republic of china portugal and vietnam for their recent contributions to their villages strategy preparedness and response plan we are also grateful to the more than $280000.00 individuals corporations and foundations who have contributed to the solidarity response fund which has now generated more than 200000000 years dollars and i tank crew labs specially for its contribution of $10000000.00 is dollars we have an wrong road ahead of us and a lot of work to do. doubly joy is committed to doing everything we can to support all countries but political leadership is also essential including the vital role of parliaments as a former parliamentarian i fully recognize the big role that parliamentarians can

can play to morrow i'll be participating in a way for parliamentarians hosted by doubly joe the into parliament or a union and the united nations of his for disaster risk reduction to discuss there are all parliaments can play to reduce risks strings in emergency preparedness and increase resilience i continue to call for the world to come together in solidarity and national unity to come from this pandemic but also to prevent the next one and to build a hell did save a fairer wallet for everyone everywhere but i repeat national unity is the foundation for global solidarity. so you don't e.t. solidarity solidarity that's what we will see every single day this

virus will not be defeated dr titus gregarious of the director general of the w.h.o. speaking there in geneva of course telling us on world immunization week really an update of what's going on and that the solidarity response fund the appeal to the global community to raise funds to fight not just this pandemic but pandemics in the future is reached at least 2 $100000000.00 and he says that the pandemic for him is not over and they will be committed to seeing it completely eradicated in the months ahead obviously raising the world's awareness to the fact that while the pandemic continues across the world. many as 13000000 children may miss out on vaccinations as countries. move resources towards the covert 19 scenario and scale back their own immunization programs of course we'll be talking more about this in clarifying this in the hours ahead and of course we will

continue to monitor what he and his colleagues say from geneva nigerians living in the largest city lagos are being warned that they'll be punished if they don't wear masks when they're out side the state's governor says the compulsory precaution is needed because the spread of the virus is still in its early phase nigeria has around 1200 confirmed coronavirus cases with 14 deaths let's cross over live to our correspondent embedded to assume joins me now from a booth for more on this. so not all of nigeria will be expected to wear a face mask during the curfews even but lagos certainly could be an example of how the country might be moving in that direction. absolutely legacy is the epicenter of this. this pandemic by the way and this is the frost state in nigeria even before the federal government declared a lockdown on 3 states in lagos state in the south west of the country and the

administrative capital here in a butcher so if we look at the legal situation we will understand the reason why the government is taking such measures in recent times over the past 4 days we've seen daily infection rates doubling and in some cases tripling over the past 3 or 4 days so for the lagos state government this is key in sort of halting the wild spread of this virus in the state this is also the economic capital of nigeria it could be signs of things to come it could be that the state is preparing to. probably ease some restrictions we understand the some riots here and there in such an areas plagued us because of the continuous not stayed it's been weak from lot. of lock down by the way and it has brought and poured hardship on residents a lot of people pressurizing be government are putting pressure on the government

to ease the restrictions so that people can go out to work or live calls we are expecting the president to address the nation in the next few hours about the situation situation in the country of rule but as you say many will be eagerly listening out for his thoughts all about extending the lockdown easing the restrictions. absolutely and the president also on this on this on the side is under pressure to ease the restrictions in the country but the pressure is coming at a time when we're seeing high in number of cases being reported many states have now registered cases index cases and in some cases cases of community based infections beginning to fight. and a lot of people in the northern state of kind of the most populous state in northern nigeria we've seen in the peace of 3 days how hundreds of people are been reported to have died over the government came out to say that the deaths have

nothing to do with coverage 19 could be due to some other courses like malaria like the heat which is currently revenue parts of northern nigeria or something like that but body is expected to make a declaration today because the 2nd batch of lockdown announcements made by president bloody and still a this is a 4th week by the way that the federal capital lagos and ogun state have been locked down so a lot of people watching closely to see whether or not the president will lift the restrictions in the capital in lagos state in or good state at a time when states the other 34 states in jeddah i did play in the under lockdown for the next one week or so simply because of the rising cases of corner virus in their states and it is just in a big thanks to the update. let's go to europe now where around $200.00 asylum

seekers in greece have been moved from their overcrowded camp hours after the fires broke out now firefighters on the island of summer say the main income from aids in tact to fire started during what's described as an internal dispute between 4 migrants and refugees it's unclear if any are left without shelter now the camp is in somerset was built to house fewer than $650.00 people but nearly 7000 the greek government was planning to relocate more than 2000 asylum seekers on several greek islands to the mainland but the virus emergency halted that operation all fears of contagion has made things worse for migrants who are waiting for their asylum applications to be processed the desperate situation is the violence of monks migrants or directed at the camps managers stephanie is the feel coordinator for doctors without borders he joins me on skype from the greek island of summers good to have you with us on the program they're locked down for migrants in greece is getting tougher and their plight becomes tougher with access certainly to

medical care and legal representation of the pandemic especially with those fires breaking out how difficult is a situation for them right now. it's very difficult because we had yesterday 2 fires breaking out into campion but the hundreds of people lost their shelter there was a lot of tension yesterday evening and also today in the morning that was a lot of tension another fire broke out and again people lost their shelter so it's really difficult for the people has been there in place from the beginning to support the people with the medical care psychologic care we provided blankets and we provided also shut the what some people could use just to have could you just describe for us we often hear about conditions being bad and issues of overcrowding but could you just take that extra for us and it tell us exactly what we're talking about i mean people how many people to a room or to a building or to

a section so you can understand why those conditions are described as as bad. yeah i mean. the conditions are bad because our the camp here is on an ongoing mountain so i would 7000 people are sleeping there and small tents they don't have really access to hygiene and water and good food this makes it really difficult. the government and the european union they don't take care of these people and the persons sometimes staying here for a long time 3 years and they are not taken to. the mainland what i was after was really pushing for indeed if the politics of what's happening is something that you know we would need the greek government to discuss with us but of course the greeks themselves are saying that you know they continue with the lock down they have to for their own country as well they continue to test and they are policing the area

would you have some sympathy for the or because they would say that they have to keep. the care of the why did greek community in their minds as well as the migrants or for the best that they are doing. yes of course but we really need to consider that we have more than $500.00 people which are without shelter now and the risk. here definitely have to take care on these people and provide a space where these people can be taking and be safe and to support greece was very early to recognize the dangers of covert 19 and they lock down their country very quickly to save lives in your opinion where could the authorities improve their processes to help the migrants with regards to covert 19 and make your job a little bit easier. very important especially to people which are in the high risk people which are elderly and also people we. chronicle

and need to be taken to the mainland to other state places otherwise they are really in high risk if they get caught with 1000 year that they probably would be dying. from doctors without borders thank you for joining us from the island of some us thank you for getting. syrian state media says at least 3 civilians have been killed in israeli rocket attacks near the capital damascus 4 others were injured now the syrian military say they shot down most of the missiles fired by israeli jets the attack is the 4th in less than a month during rising tensions between israel and hezbollah in syria the u.n. envoy for yemen is urging all parties to stick by a peace deal in the south after a separatist group declared self rule over the areas it controls the southern transitional council announced a state of emergency on sunday accusing the government of failing to improve the lives of yemenis the united arab emirates says it's also against the southern

separatists decision even though they previously supported the group. now a song released by china to highlight its partnership with the philippines against the covert 19 outbreak has been criticized as propaganda it has been disliked more than a 100000 times on you tube many filipinos say the lyrics are if in me vial the time to buy beijing to reassert its claims over the disputed south china sea. ports. the video is on you tube and the song is called essent that which in the filipino language means one scene the song was written by china's ambassador in manila. the video is supposedly dedicated to those to contributed to the 1000 fight in the philippines and china but it's causing outreach here mostly from filipinos who say

the message is subliminal and insulting. calling this one c.b.c. is this graceful because china continues to encroach philippine territory in the south china sea but joining. me now. so. there is. because. it was released just a day before the philippine government launched 2 diplomatic complaints against china chinese navy mounted a radar gun at the philippines biggest people warship in the spratleys china also declared some of the philippine terror chief there as belonging to hina province on the chinese mainland the philippine government says international law and its
