the witness follows one of the last refugee families from syria and to be granted an american visa from their personal sacrifices to the families, triumph. meet the syrian on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera, ah, hello, and welcome. i'm peace adobe. you're watching the news live from coming up in the next 60 minutes. is found to be in this community, and this proportion and the impact on an object such attacks may constitute war crimes. the un human rights chief res, these allegations of is ready war crimes. as

a special session gets on the way on abuses in the occupied territory. remembering the rwandan genocide, the french president emanuel mccomb arrives in kigali part of an attempt to reset the relations. forced to flee thousands pack up their lives in the eastern congress city of goma on the threats and interrupting volcano also ahead. the u. s. president 6 um says ordering an agent investigation and the origins of cobra 19. now i'm sorry. how much not have all the port span? villareal celebrates winning the police after dramatic penalty shootout when over manchester united in the final ah, it's really striking garza could amount to war crimes. those are the words of the

human rights chief michelle ashley. she was speaking at the opening of a special session of the un human rights council. it was called to assess the grave situation across the occupied palestinian territory. members, a considering a draft resolution calling for an independent investigation into potential human rights violations during the recent conflict is found to be in this committee and disproportionate in the impact on gillian asked me to an object. such facts may constitute war crimes. on the other hand, it is also violation of international humanitarian law to locate military assets in densely populated civilian areas or to launch attacks from them. however, the actions of one party do not of sold the other from its obligations under international law. natasha butler, one of our correspondents tracking that conversation for us here on the news on natasha, take us through what else was said while

the discussions, the focused on their tags. this draw to resolution has been tabled by pakistan on behalf of the organization for economic cooperation. and what this takes to cool for is for the un human rights council to look into violence and abuses in the occupied palestinian territories. andes through them. but it goes beyond the recent violence, it calls for the setting up of a commission and ongoing commission for could look into and investigate abuses and violence in those areas. look at things like it says, a systematic discrimination to roots of attentions in the region. and the idea behind that is that this commission would be able to gather evidence that could be used in the future to possibly prosecute perpetrators of crimes.

the text also calls on all states to mobilize as fast as possible. any monetary and aid and assistance for palestinians that calls on israel to met thought you mandatory and 8 access palestinian people. and it also urges all states not to transfer any ohms, any weapons to any sides, the weapons that could be at risk of being used for human rights violations or for violence. so very complete draw tax, but we know that 60 states currently supported including 20 member states and there will be a vote on the trough resolution at 4 o'clock geneva time. ok. natasha. thank you very much. natasha. about the report in life. the news from paris diplomat to get is a james bay's tracking what's going on there in geneva out of western them as well . very strong words. clearly, james, is anyone listening? well, i think certainly they are listening,

but will it have any action even if they set up this new commission of inquiry we've been here before. yes, they say this time is going to be an ongoing independent commission of inquiry. but for israel, we know how israel is likely to react to this. they're going to dismiss it and certainly they're not going to cooperate with this because that is the pattern in the past. for example, one of the people who spoke at the meeting was the special rockport on the human rights situation in garza michael link, he's been in the jobs his 2016 israel does not cooperate with him. they do not allow him to visit the policy interpreters. in fact, he has to do is work remotely and speaking to whatever witnesses can travel to see him when he visits jordan, israel and israelis are deeply opposed to the human rights council. remember back in the trump administration, the u. s. pulled out of the human rights council that was because of the treatment of israel and was pretty much that they very much supported in that decision. by

israel at the meeting. we have the israeli ambassador mirror show hall, say that there was a ritual where israel is singled out from the palestinians side they, i think looking now beyond human rights reports to accountability. and that's certainly what we heard from red marquis, the palestinian foreign minister who spoke at the meeting and something substantial has changed. in recent years. panel student palestine became a signet treats the rome statute the the treaty that governs the international criminal court. and most importantly, on the 3rd of march this year, a formal investigation by the chief prosecutor and international criminal court into the situation in the palestinian territories. and clearly what has happened in the last couple of weeks could be added to those investigations. and that i suspect rather than the human rights council meetings, it was, is most going to concern israel right now. james,

many things james stays there for us in west jerusalem. let spring in fella he jazzy amnesty international deputy middle east and north africa director. he joins us on skype from ramallah, seller he, jonesy talk of war crimes that may or may not go any place at all. you want a system of accountability. how will that work? it works now very much welcome in the human rights council, dr lucian, coming to both to establish and investigate mechanism that collects and preserves evidence. and that corporates with the ongoing international criminal investigation into the situation in dock by fantasy tories. we believe it's important also that these moves including like allison talk of honest transfer and leading towards a competitive arms in mobile and israel and the policy and groups. most importantly, i think what has come up and this coming up in this room, right?

concert is the tackling and investigation of what is called the root causes of batteries and round up bivens. and these are the institutionalized discrimination and the method oppression that is running board is on our students. this is at the heart whether it's happening right now in the world or no p t. and we certainly book this commission of inquiry. this investigative mechanism will bid more on the body of the bodies that are working towards accountability. important to know that there's a real test here for specifically that you states to walk the law when they're talking about accountability, to not make israel an exception when it comes to human rights and respect for international. okay, i think just just allow me to put you there for a 2nd. we'll come on to the root causes in a 2nd. but when you're talking about a mechanism there where you're talking about, in effect tightening, the financial screws on israel. the reality is that will not happen because of who

israel big best friend is on the other side of the atlantic, namely the united states, whether the united states needs also to walk the walk by then president biden, and his secretary of state lincoln have made it very clear that they want human rights to be front and center for policy. so they should also act on their words here and support any effort to ensure that there is an entity appear to be that is a so so black and israel and or p t. and to ensure that those accountability also is one site where we could possibility ensure die to see very important the is another one. this is a new development. as your colleague was pointing out, it is a crucial development. and it is to what's empowers who have human rights and

international law as essential part of their point policy. for the reality surely is this, if you expect the united states, even under a democrat president joe biden, the reality is he's got decades of years of being plugged into the same kind of settle position when it comes to israel. that his predecessor, donald trump, donald trump, as we were just hearing from james bass, i, diplomatic of it pulled the united states out of the human rights council because of the relationship in effect with israel. mr. biden had to play catch up during the 11 days of this most recent conflict, the 4th war in 3 and a bit years because his settle position is israel has the right to defend itself. that's the starting point. sure. we see something very positive happening in the united states with democrats, members of the congress pointing to the structure and nature of some of them. calling the situation in israel is apartheid. this is basically pointing to what i

was saying, the root cause of this situation. i just from a nation and the systematic oppression against palestinians. so members of the congress are waiting up to this pointing to solve the calling on the post in to tackle this. and we certainly book that this is a new chapter. ok, we have to leave it there a lot. he chancey there in ramallah. thank you very much. well, the conflict between israel and palestinians have been marked by protest by territory as well as within israel itself. critics of accused israeli police abusing excessive force to disperse those crowds using rubber coated steel bullets, which of course, permanent, ida, i mentioned more than 20 protesters for the delta me reports now from occupied east jerusalem. because it let the head, it was a day tensions between palestinians and israelis boiled over in occupied east jerusalem. the war in gaza had just started. but at columbus had gone to l as some most put adorned prayer. the when israeli soldiers term to compound and

effect worshippers with pig rubber coated bullet and stung gloomy rad, tried to escape through a side with about the room. no one was throwing rocks we were trying to leave. i remember seeing a soldier very close up 2 or 3 meters away. he fired a rubber coated bullet at me. i knew i was wounded in my face, but i didn't know where my glasses were gone. i touched my face and my left hand was full of blood. i closed my right eye and it was all dark. i couldn't see anything. at this point i fell to the ground is that the hospital that murat was told his left eye was lost. hundreds of people were injured that day, doctor se many of the serious wounds were to the upper body and eyes. if we think it is, by chance, you will find one case, 2 cases. it's a serious cases. you have like 30 injuries in the eyes with

direct trauma to the forehead, to the eye, or between eyes to the nose. i just can think that this is organized and clown action to take the eye out and to cause severe disability to policy. and in an email, a spokesman for israeli police told al jazeera, these railey police uses a variety of means to prevent friction, violence and conflict. the use of these measures depend on the occurring event and situation analysis. we will continue to act decisively against violence and violation of order of all sorts, all for the safety and security of the public. some of the fact excuse by the security forces go against the rules of engagement. and there's little palestinians can do in terms of legal action. many will also tell you that those same security

forces have double standards when it comes to dealing with israeli citizens. the right group says that security forces, active friendly when it comes to jewish israeli police regulation that specifically thing that you should only point to the lower part of the body. but as we've seen probably here job, but he's still short to get reckoned, no matter what the situation is, there's no way on the other side of the page you were standing. the police was very toto and no one was arrested and nothing was done today. the critics say excessive use of force against palestinians is systematic. for many living here is part of a policy aimed as silencing their voice. put the meat al jazeera in occupied east jerusalem casa, has pledged half a $1000000000.00 towards garz's postwar reconstruction. the energy rich gulf nation

regularly contributes millions of dollars in humanitarian aid. to the proceed, strip cutter was part of the mediation. f, secure the ceasefire as broken by egypt. you may also lead choices lies from gaza. so human away from the meetings in geneva. and these allegations of war crimes, or talk of war crimes and accountability. the reality is, gardens have to carry on rebuilding garza yes and not just 3 building gods, the reconstruction, reconstructing the amount of destruction, but to drown them. also golf and tough to live in the reality that they are still living under a stiffening siege. so the entrance to the reconstruction material, the entrance of the fuel. the enter is that all the aid is just up to the israeli authorities and up to these meetings as long as they are going on. so how they are

impacting the lives of the palestinians is just up to the amount of how much, how much understanding they can get through these meetings. but the reality stays that the palestinians have been living under a stiffening siege for more than 14 years now. so what the policy and need now is not just that temporary humanitarian aid or temporary fuel for, for the gas station or a hospital or, or, or house, you know, they want to cease to be listed. they want to any employment rates to decrease. we're talking about employment rates that are over 60 percent for the youth who are graduated from university. i have never had break before. we're talking about industrial that have been destroyed and need to be reconstructed. we need more

investment in the gaza strip for the amount of people to be working. we're talking about 2000000 people living in a very densely populated area. that is, that is under constant these until now, which is really some actions that are going on opening the sea and closing the sea with every tension that is going on. this, what the palestinians require is far beyond just a temporary solution. they need to focus on this thing, the seas of because it's just for a change to happen in the life to be using god. okay. you know, thank you very much. human said live for the in garza plenty more still to come here on the news for you, including the military and molly released detained. civilian leaders for the army appears to remain in charge and the sport will light things strike twice for the

top of a. they take a huge step towards winning another championship. ah, the french president emanuel macro has asked rwandans for forgiveness. phase countries rolled in the genocide of 1994 micro acknowledge that france ignored warnings. and in his words, de facto stood by a genocidal regime ties had been strained for years. now, following accusations that france was complicit in. what happened? france, back to the president polk armies, rivals in the previous government. during the civil war, many of its officials took part in the genocide. sudden only those who have been through the night can perhaps forgive. and therefore, we ask for them to give us the gift of forgiveness. sudden we ask for them to give us the gift of forgiveness. a welcome web is life for us here on the news in kigali,

malcolm, will this be enough? well from my call, he's between a rock and a hard place to some extent. he has to think about france, his interest in africa generally and hearing mironda, and definitely a requirement to win. the allegiance of full gummy. and the government of rwanda is to basically to make the friends narrative now much the, the narrative of the r p, f. all of these versions, events, by the way, her data, highly controversial and much questioned and have been for years. but we're seeing the kind of french one coming to the, the p f one this moment. but on the other hand, is an election coming up in, in france, next year, was off the recording has to stave off critiques, from the far right. and certainly if he'd apologized here, that's very likely would have been attacked by the far right in front. wouldn't been appreciated by powerful people in the military. and he didn't apologize. and he didn't acknowledge complicity. but in,

in recent publications from was sponsored by the french government, they talked about being blind to their role. so they haven't really taken a lot of responsibility. he did acknowledge some responsibility, but no kind of direct responsibility. but it does seem to be enough. certainly this stage for the government of rwanda in so far as he's here today, i just visited the genocide memorial area, just down the hill from where we are right now. poker got me and my new out my home sitting together in a meeting in the presidency here in rwanda's capital regarding me waiting to hear a public statement they're expecting to come from them afterwards. so rather than today being we are now best friends. let's move on. this is probably on balance the beginning of a process where they, they come together in a more friendly atmosphere. well,

the process has been going on for quite some years. nicholas soccer, the foreman french president came here in 2010 just over 10 years ago. that was the 1st visit overhead of state. since the events of the early $900.00 ninety's could not meet, visited france twice since macro and came to power. now, micron come to berlin. the said it's definitely been as to the steady thawing process over quite some years, but this also fits him with other events, regionally, and internationally. now ever since poker got me on the r p, f took power in the hearing kigali in 994. they forged strong relations with the u . s. in the u. k. a very critical of from the fact the enemies about that relationship with the u. s doesn't seem quite as solid as it used to just in recent months. we've heard the u. s. and the u. k. raising concerns about rwanda's human rights recorded to

a level that they haven't really done before. so for the french and possibly an opening to, to get an eye in a region where they once had more influence. and for wonder, it certainly doesn't do any harm until to have another powerful european ally in among the, among their friends. ok, welcome. thanks very much. milk and web life was in kigali. molly's transitional leaders have been released after being removed by the country's vice president. that's according to the military colonel asked to go into one of the military officers who lead last year as coo, arrested the prime minister and president. on monday, the un security council used an emergency meeting to call for the immediate release . they were held in a military base and a ton of carty. when i go to representatives, say they have resigned from their positions. nathangelo is in the money in capital, pamlico. so nick, if they've resigned, they don't have any government power. so what happens next?

well that's a big question on everybody and live is in charge of molly, but it seems according to the resignation from the printer, president of transition into prime minister, the strong man, the one in charge is no other but the vice president, the, the leader of the military to and stuff who toppled a very move. i got kate, i in august. i see me going. now it's in the release has to be made official of the government after the president of transition by and and the premier most are ones. there's been some relief among many malia and to see perhaps that the situation is slowly returning to normal, but there's also a lot of anger about deep grievances among money. we're just outside the russian embassy, where all the growing crowd of protesters and when they're protesting about they're saying they want to see an end of the french military president and molly and they want to see the russian intervene. so this is one of the key issues here in bali is

the security situation. the situation has gone from bad to worse than the french military intervention in 2013 when they came to the country to stop a rebel group coming from libya in the north of molly to fulfill the government here in molly. but since 2013 millions of volumes have been displaced, the security situation has gotten worse just a few weeks ago. during the month of ramadan, there was an attack and he just was 50 kilometers away from the capital by my cope . and there's a sense among the values that are here, protesting is that the french military president isn't helping, but making matters worse while the presidency, by the way, my cold doing this during the, the removal of the president, the transition, the prime minister, call this a qu, within a qu, here among the values that you speak to on the street,

they feel that this situation has put a reset button. and perhaps that it will be an opportunity for molly and to get to grips and gets a job, going to return to the civilian rule that they wish for as quickly as possible. heater ok now many thanks, nicholas talk that live 1st in alma cope. still to come here on the news for you. iran supreme leader. cool. throw high, turn out the full coming election, but there is growing condemnation about a narrow field of candidates and in sport has been a while that basketball fans of the world's most famous arena finally have something to show about. ah hello there,

there's good news for north western parts of europe. that spring warm is finally coming through, particularly as we go into the weekend. but for now we still got the cooler weather weather dominating across scandinavia. some strong winds and heavy rains, the sweden affecting finland as well. and estonia, latvia, seeing some of that weather weather. and if you found the storms as well across lithuania, but much of the stormy weather is going to be across the balcony. serbia seen some of those sharper thunderstorms as well as north eastern areas of italy. but the south seas a lot of the heat spain, the temperature, so climbing 30 degrees in madrid and there will be some showers along the southern coast. but by the time we get into friday, those will ease and the conditions are looking very sunny and bright, little bit a cloud over madrid. and it's a similar story for western areas of france. sunshine really coming through 20 degrees in bordeaux. and let's have a look at what happens in the u. k. some of that heat really coming in in london.

seeing a lot of sunshine by the time we get to monday, 22 degrees. and it's a similar story for the north of africa. the heat continuing to build across northern areas. the college is there a world that goes to algeria and she needs to meet some of the world's most passionate football fan? i sold my to go to go to the stadium. lloyd supported all football, hooligan, waving streams, fandom can have life changing consequences. i don't remember how i only felt the flame burning deadly gay algeria and she dizzy and firm on al jazeera. how does that seem from a school league? draw the big crowd? why does the irish flag fly high? you got this club?

what is it about the celtic that has the world over healing them on politics and football goes with the oppressed around the world. the defends, who make football on the oh. a welcome back. you're watching the al jazeera news outline from hotline pizza w, recapping the main development so far this our, the un human rights chief, michelle actually says it's really striking. garza could amount to war crimes. members of the un human rights comes look, considering a resolution calling for an independent investigation. the french president and

manuel my chromosomes per landon's for forgiveness for his country's role in the 1994 genocide, france back to the previous government during the civil war. many of us official to part in the killing. and molly's military says, this really is transitional leaders who attained on monday, the prime minister. and the president resigned after being arrested by one of the military officers who let the coon last year thousands of people are evacuating the city of goma in the democratic republic of congo after warnings that volcano could erupt for a 2nd time mount and yet congo erupted on saturday, sending rivers of lava flowing towards the city and destroyed hundreds of homes along the way. dozens of people were killed and many are still missing her. my cancer is following developments for us from zimbabwe. she joins us live from harry, there. her people reacting to what the government officials are telling them this time because there wasn't much of

a warning last time or are they just doing it on their own? well, authorities of or did a partial evacuation say, looking at about 10 neighborhoods in gone, their city and this panic for people seem to be moving. try to get out of the city by road or by boat because of the chaos in some places. parents are being told to write down on piece of the paper. i've been named and the phone numbers in case that gets separated from the children and families are being told to carry as much as they can in case it could be a while before they get to come back into the city. i thought he's doing this now raised the law because they could have 5 last time back in 2002. when the volcano erupted, they will qualify for having reacted to lay to thousands of people back then died at the time is thought they trying to get ahead of thing for the credit for the time seems to be that they having people to leave goal my go to so called safe area, but people are asking if we get to the same areas, what,

how will be going to get where we got to stay? what we going to say trust that seems to be on the back of everyone's minds. now this is an area that's known for a lot of problems over the way to the volcano erupting the insecurity in the region as well. overnights in been he was about 200 kilometers from goma. several villages were attacked by a melissa group from the 80 s people. they are saying that they came in over night . they attacked these villages, killed people using knives. and miss said he, some people say to be a kid, that's the authorities who are dealing with insecurity in that part of the country, but also with a trace of this. okay, no erupting by. right through the ground. seems to be people try it out. and many of them as possible by boats or by road try and get it to one, or it's with a feel it's relatively safe. ok, how many thanks have a task with a report in life. the news from harry?

well, the democratic republic of congo has been listed as the world's most neglected displacement crisis. in a new report from the norwegian refugee council calls the situation a mega crisis fuel by spiraling conflicts and reco levels of people going hungry. there were 2000000 displaced people last year the most in the world. and the situation has worsened with 20000 more made homeless by that volcanic eruption in goma. well including the d, r. c, 8 african nations from the list of the 10 most neglected crises. cameroon, number 2, people in several different regions are on the threats from violence, from differing on groups. children have been specifically targeted with many attacks on schools, but foster is home to the fastest growing crisis. the number of displaced people there has doubled in one year. more than a 1000000 people fleeing violence. other countries on the list are both in latin america, venezuela and for the 1st time, honduras to devastating tropical storms last year for thousands of on durance from

their homes. and in every country on the list. problems have been made worse by the cobit 19. pandemic moore mcgee is the regional director of the norwegian refugee council for western central africa. she joins us on skype from dock are in cynical where maggie, welcome to the news out. what's the u. r u s. p, about the democratic republic of congo here. why is it? number one? thank you very much for this opportunity. if number one, for a variety of reasons, we are looking at decades of conflict, much of this conflict is related to land dispute. it is a fundamental issue that needs to be addressed. there are issues of disarmament. there are issues demobilization of the various armed groups stabilization and of course community reconciliation. that's all need to be addressed. none of these countries clearly fits into a one size fits all solution because they've got different political situations.

they've got different, you know, paramilitary situations on the ground. they've got different situations of violence or not on the ground as well. but people do cross those porous borders. so in that regard, when people are displaced, do they take the issues with them across the border into the other countries on this list? i think i'm at one point we have to recognize that displacement many times happens within the borders of a country. if you take the democratic republic of congo last year, every single day, 6000 people had to flee their home. some of these do flee across borders, for instance, into uganda, but many stay within their own country and are also in need of urgent assistance. so many countries that would ordinarily, and i used the phrase advisedly throw money at this issue because just, you know,

giving over cash is not necessarily the best solution to this is got to be deployed and used properly. they have to organize and finance their own fight against corona virus globally worldwide. of course they do. does your organization accept that? but where do you want the money to come from? if people are making sure that their own finances, non african countries, they're making sure their own finances are ok and their sound. i think the impact of the pandemic has been 2 fold in terms of resources being redirected towards domestic concerns, which are absolutely fundamental. but the other impact has been the secondary effects. so the economic downturn in general, but within many of these countries already affected by conflict. now without having access to markets and other border restrictions linked to public health concerns,

this has made their lives even more difficult. we also have to recognize it is a worldwide pandemic. and if we address the issue only within the borders of some of these more affluent countries, this will not address the problem. every person needs to be able to protect themselves from the virus or it will continue. you'll calling this a, make a crisis between the, the african countries that you've identified. and also we're talking on this program about 2 countries in latin america. the statistics are depressing and genuinely scary. you're saying that a country like d. c is only funded up to a percentage of 12 percent for the month of may. does that mean that you have a shortfall of 88 percent of what you need to get through the rest of this calendar year? that is correct. so the international community has identified needs and put a,

you know, a price on that of $2000000000.00 us dollars. very important to say that that would not address all of the people in need. there are over 20000000 people in need, just within the democratic republic of congo. many millions are facing acute food insecurity. and in order to ensure that they are able to feed themselves, have safe access to schools, have a safe place to sleep. we need the international community to commit to funding and as of may, it is only 8 percent secured. ok, we have figured ok, thanks so much for joining us from deca that maureen mcgee. thank you. iran supreme leader is urging citizens to votes in the forthcoming presidential elections. i told somebody called, and iranians to ignore calls to boycott the june votes. there has been condemnation of a decision to exclude several prominent figures from running the president hassan route

honey, is among those expressing concern that limited competition will mean a low turn out as a big choices life from tehran asset. if there is a low turnout, would it naturally favor one or 2 candidates over other candidates? well, even before this process, there's already poll saying that there was going to be a low turn out. if i take you back to last year's parliamentary election, that was a lowest turn act. since the revolution 1979. and whenever there is a low turnout going back to your question, it generally favors the conservative candidate. now that candidate is a brian, right? you see the current judiciary chief, but this decision has not gone down. well, a president hasn't. ronnie had written to the supreme need asking him to intervene to reverse the decision or allow some candidates had been disqualified by this vetting body. the guardian cancelled to stand nice. they were looking to the supreme needed intervene. well, he hasn't. he,

in fact he praised the process of the guardian council and he thanked those candidates that accepted the decision despite being disqualified. now of course that doesn't include the to term former president, mahmud didn't a judge who has been very vocal before, during and after this entire process. before this he said that if he wasn't, it wasn't like to stand, he would, it wouldn't be voting for anybody. and he wouldn't vote himself. and since then he said that he's willing to debate members of the guardian council live on t v as to the decisions as to why he has been disqualified. but the supreme the to did say that people don't come out to vote for individuals. it's about policies. what really mattered isn't social media on foreign policy is domestic issues such as unemployment. but yes, if there is a vote, turn low turnover as it seems, they will be people here. now, i think it's all but done the brain right. if you will be around next present. i said, thanks so much as a big the reporting life for us on that complicated story out of terror in

us president joe biden today ordering us intelligence agencies to investigate the origins of cooper 19. he's expecting them to report back in 90 days. mister brighton says the intelligence community is divided on whether the virus emerged naturally or whether it escaped from a lab in we'll catch a lopez for the young picks up the story with more than 50 percent of us adult no vaccinated. president joe biden is turning his focus to the origins of covered 19th of he's given his team 90 days to investigate how and where the virus 1st emerged. perhaps most controversially, the report will look at whether the virus was leak from this chinese lab in want china needed to provide more access to the lab corporate more fully with the scientific investigators. and we don't think that they have met that standard once

dismissed as a conspiracy theory. now leading scientists say the possibility of the lab leak should not be ignored. we're hearing about people who work at the institute of i ology, becoming sick with an illness. we know that this has been spreading since november . we've seen the chinese government been very reticent to allow press to investigate the origins of this virus. we know the wall street journal reporters have been detained by police. we know the b, b. c has been chased out of certain areas where people are looking for the origin. so i think that raises question back in march, a joint investigation by china and the world health organization concluded the probable source of the virus with animal to human transmission from a work market, an accidental lamp leak. it said was highly unlikely that many governments have criticize a report credibility, they say access was limited and a chinese government withheld data. they are, you china? the parent influence on the w h. o has tainted the reports. validity,
