services commissioner at the time was unlawful. essentially illegal. now, the supreme court of appeal has also said that it is an up to the court, specifically whether the time that he spent out of prison on this medical bro, if whether or not that would count towards the server, the prison sentences, or you should have served 15 months, but instead it would be up to the current commissioner and that he is empowered by law to do so. the commissioner might take that period into account in determining any application or grounds for release. he was supposed to serve 15 months. as you mentioned that he was released after just 2 months and so he served the remainder of that sentence, not under house arrest, but at his home under correctional services supervision. and that's one of the arguments that his lawyers have put forward, that he is ill. that he is 80 years old is too old to be in prison. and that should be taken into account. but now it's up to the commissioner to decide if in fact

that is the case. but essentially, the supreme court of appeal has said that ruling, although that medical parole allowance was illegal and he should return to prison. and now we are waiting for word from the commissioner, the correctional services commissioner to determine whether or not the former president returns to prison immediately, or whether it will take some time in deciding whether or not the time spent out of prison on parole will count all right, thanks so much for minimally china is vastly a surgeon covey. 19 infections on sunday, beijing recorded to virus related deaths. in addition to one reported on saturday. there the 1st since late may, patrick falk reports for the situation in china is getting more serious and warm. joe, just across the border from here and hong kong authorities ordered a 5 day locked and, and by your district that the city's largest district, they also suspended in restaurant dining and some entertainment venues. in 10. her
