i really really not getting anywhere near. the am. the i. know watching others there are a mind of our top stories this hour the views un recognized government is pressing on with an offensive to reclaim territory from warlord holy father of its forces say they're entering the city of sirte one of the strongholds and rejected a cease fire plan put forth by egypt. some of the biggest protests yet against police brutality and racism of taken place largely peacefully u.s.

oh say i've been trying to. reason action mates maybe. fly to national accused about the steal a exposed. situation of the core new virus to the rest well i think maybe part of. a part of the chinese they have done something well nor that a controlled and that me inside that country for example the holes the crows found at most 8 seriously seriously affected see he's in a very shock you it just climbed actually. actually it's stopped it no activities all it knows and human travel is allowed it in a very short period of time and already in the very early part of the pentagon make actually they did not close in for the

a lot of the trouble of the mainland trouble due to from part of the well and actually this is people accuse that actually trying to be the one who exploit holes in next pieces to the west and willow however often they have a lot that moves on their own and which were seriously affected by. it seems to take the battle inside the city of quickly and also arm they said that they have found out many trials are about treatment and also recently about the vaccine however i must pay attention will be cautious when we read out how those state tipple by the main end of the show because we don't know that whether they have the best of pictures all of what happened well i guess that's the crux of it isn't it we getting that the true picture a launchpad also of this white paper report is about how transparent the country

was and sharing information and sharing that information early on what do you think do you believe that that the country was transparent in those early days. oh for me china. has never been a very transparent country except i specialize about information delivery so long because health care crisis in main that is treated as one of the strat for their local security issues so even look up the health care issues you won't get very transparent information but look very expression the 2 people outside the countries even in hong kong are our special eye ministration governments should be closely linked to main and in fact we are no longer not nothing earlier than now the rest and rest in country know that actually this virus can transmit to m r humans and actually at this virus can cause the case so even we are so close to

that we don't get the information in fact. first to know that this virus can transmit it among humans and it is quite legal in the late january however there are quiet numbers of human to human transmission already in the early gender so i think there is the lay of information transmission about this to read in the net thank you so much for your time that is dr r. seen a mom president of the hong kong public office association you're welcome. brazil's government has stopped publishing its running total of coronavirus deaths and infections critics say it's an attempt to hide the real extent of the pandemic and president diable sanaa has repeatedly talked down the threat of covenanting threatening to leave the world health organization. reports. the sign on the window

never taking the pandemic seriously. anything it's sad but he didn't wear a mask he made fun of it didn't believe it shook everybody's hand and unfortunately he caught it it's very sad but that's the tree. but none of this is the tearing the president in his efforts to minimize the gravity of the situation the newly designed ministry of health daily report on the spread of the virus no longer records the total number of deaths. and the minister has announced a review of the criteria used to confirm coverage in 1000 deaths which critics fear will be used to manipulate the real numbers but some are. under a huge price from here because they face. a public policy against. and now they are trying to find out people are out how to solve the problem the problem is huge so that government is trying to act in
