12:21 pm
a deep dive into what exactly happened at the early stages of this and that make. and we have been preparing that in discussions with our chinese colleagues the chinese government has been accused of a lack of transparency about the origins of call that 19 if this mission is gonna happen how optimistic are you that you can find the truth well truth what we are there for is to really look at what is what is there and of evidence so the idea is to go really to the place where the 1st problem was china so far has really agreed to the terms of reference of course there is. nervousness which is you know the. the discussion about the origin of the pandemic has become a little bit politicized it's a blame game it's a blame game and i think that that's wrong frankly.
