8:21 pm
for the president to cross the city. the rally was organized by one of also not as best friends as the show of support to the president, especially after the polls have indicated that he would lose next year's elections to former president lucy, now sula silva no longer was banned from running the 2018 election, which was so not a one because was charged with corruption and imprison. but this year the supreme court on know that trial and said that the judge had treated lula unfairly. so no light is back on the scene. just as brazil faces the cove at 900 pandemic, which has killed 480000 brazilian. this is right now, meeting an investigation on the government handling of the pandemic. and this enquiry, this probe is one of the reasons why the president's popularity has dropped. so now the president is trying to show that he has the support of the tree. meanwhile,

8:23 pm
and serial government incompetence delays in following scientific medical advice. the lack of a proper plan and so on. the central claim here is that in the early months of 2020, it was according to cummings government policy to fall to allow the virus to spread through the population in the hope of achieving so called heard immunity by september. that some of the government has repeatedly denied. indeed they've denied it again on sunday. cummings describes those denials as lies. he said that it was only when it was pointed out to the government that this policy would result in catastrophe that it fell back on a plan b, a notion to suppress the virus through the lock downs. and on that point of lockdown, he goes further. he mentioned by name, people like health secretary, mat hancock and others. when he writes this, if we'd had the right preparation and competent people in charge, we would probably have avoided locked down one, definitely no need for locked downs $2.00 and $3.00. so there's
8:24 pm
a very clear contention in all of this that it is, these delays in following advice. it is this lack of a proper strategy and coming to view that contributes through the pandemic to one of the highest death tolls per capita in the world. and made, according to him, the situation as it was even worse. while the philippines is walking for years since a large scale military operation against an armed group, the battle of morale, we saw government forces fight. i feel affiliated rebels for more than 5 months. jermel alan, doug reports now from an a la on me $2327.00 seen a group of around 2 wanted aren't mandy pledge allegiance to be on group. i saw lead cj to the city of morale. we in the southern philippines and raised the group black flag over several government facilities. thousands of civilians were held hostage and the philippine military launched and all not offensive to free them. 5
