that says for this episode of generation change from lebanon, teddy mazda, thank you so much for taking part. it's been a very enlightening conversation, thankfully ah. ready the world health organization, the urge is beijing to share more information on its coven. 19 search is more countries and post checks on travelers from china. ah, i'm darn jordan. it's about as they rely from dough are also coming up. donald trump remains defiant as touch records, the former u. s. president. for to protect

a finally made public venezuelan opposition parties vote to dissolve the interim government led by one. why don't and the hometown hero, we look at how fans in santos are saying a final goodbye to brazil, king of football, penning ah . the world health organization has held a high level meeting with chinese officials to request more information on its surgeon cobit 19 cases. double h r. officials asked us for sharing of real time data and tracking of any potential new variants. also offered to provide practical support to china, which has seen a dramatic rise and infections since rolling back at 0 coven policy. it follows growing doubts about the transparency of official chinese information to the u. k. and france have joined a growing list of countries to impose cobit 19 checks on arrivals from china,

the us, japan, india, and italy have already announced compulsory testing. china has denounced the new rules as discriminatory or contagion. all countries score with 19 prevention and control measures should be scientific and appropriate and should not affect normal people to people contact as well as normal exchange and cooperation in recent days, many leading medical experts for multiple countries have said that there is no need to impose restrictions on entry of travelers from china. while the way the cases appears to be overwhelming chinese hospitals and funeral homes, but the official number current of virus death being reported remains low. authorities change criteria for recording cobra vitality is earlier this month. will help experts in the us and the e se wastewater from airplanes arriving from china should be tested to detect any new very testing waste water has become increasingly common throughout the united states and testing waste water from playing for passengers. in coming from

china, who give a sense of which strains of the virus are out there, that's very important because the chinese government has not been very forthcoming . providing data on the various variance of coven that are circulating in china. but if we test the waste water on, from planes coming from china, we may be able to get a better sense of whether new variants are cropping up in china, variance of possible concern. could they evade the protection of our current vaccines? and so the more we know about the nature of the viruses that are circulating in china, the better prepared the rest of the world can be there so much at home testing. and so many people, not even others, to get tests that we have a we don't have as good

a sense of where this virus is spreading in the united states. so testing wastewater actually is giving us an additional helpful information so that we can track the spread of this virus in this country. and now using it in this circumstance, airplanes coming in from china. that's a very clever idea. meanwhile, indonesia has removed its remaining coven 19 restrictions president, yoko with dodo says, the spread of the virus is under control with infections in the hospital admissions below the world health organizations guidelines. but he says people should remain vigilant, urging them to continue wearing masks in crowded areas. north korea has fought a ballistic missile towards the sea east of the korean peninsula. it's the latest in an unprecedented number of missile tests carried out by p young young this year . it comes days after north korean drones crossed into south korean s. but now the

tax information that donald trump fought to keep private has now been exposed u. s. house democrats, separately, 6 years of his tax returns showing he paid no income tax in 20. 20 is last full year as president. despite promising several times to release them himself. trumps, sued the house of representatives, ways and means committee to keep the records private. but in november, the supreme court ruled the documents could be made public, and on friday they were angering the former president. although these tax returns contain relatively little information and not information that almost anybody would understand, they're extremely complex. the radical democrats behavior is a shame upon the u. s. congress. a white house correspondent, kimberly hallett has more from washington dc. right now we do know that the president avoided paying tax for the most part, but he didn't for the most part legally because the tax code has been designed for

of not just the wealthy in the united states. but anyone who can afford to pay an accountant in the u. s. so this could be in the middle class as well. a is able to take advantage of sort of loopholes if you will, to essentially take losses on income in order to reduce their tax burden or tax bill. and so that's what this president has done. and that's what he's done is taken business losses by the 10s of millions in order to avoid paying tax with regard to whether or not the president has done anything wrong. and there certainly are some curious things about these tax returns as people are poring over them. for example, the fact that the president had foreign bank accounts has certainly been alarming given the fact that as president of the united states, this opens him up to suggestions that he could be under foreign influence. another concern is the fact that the president did sign into law. although it's the

congress that makes law, ah, he didn't change law that benefited him personally, as well as a millions of others americans. and as well, the president did also claim some income in terms of interest. they had some people suggest, could be disguised as gifts. we don't know where those gifts came from. so certainly, this could mean that the president could now be audited further by the internal revenue service or iris, or this could become weaponized by his political opponents. so let's bring him, richard, good steen. he's a lawyer and democratic strategist, to join us vos, skype from washington. dc which a good job you with so many people are asking the question, why did trump feel the need to fight so hard to keep his tax returns a secret what we have to hide anyway? well, we know that the truth has not exactly been down. trump's best friend over the years and the fact that he fought this tooth and nail all the way up to the supreme court

certainly suggests he thought he had something to hide. and what would that be? well, we now know, for example, you said he was going to donate is $400000.00 salary every year to a charity. we know he didn't do that now in 2020. we know that he took, as you just heard these massive business losses, it tends to undercut his notion that he was such a successful businessman. if he had tens and tens of millions of dollars of losses to carry forward against whatever income you may have had in particular year. and let's remember, these tax returns are only from 2015 to 2020. to really have the full picture. we need to have access to his returns previously, and those are not sacrificed authorities. prosecutors can get their hands on those and kind of combine what we now know from these returns about his losses against his business practices predating his getting into politics. so there's actually

a lot that i think has come to light. he since, since he's come public, richard comes been ranting that the democrats, the supreme court should never have approved the release. so what happens next then? i mean, he's the iris likely to dig deep into trump business affairs. i think it's not just i arrest. let me, let me give an example. he brought a property nice near new york city of very massive est with huge chateau as a personal home. then when there was the limitation imposed by congress on the amount of a deduction that could be claimed on your taxes for personal homes, he turned that into a business expense. although nothing else changed, his use of that property was totally unchanged. so it's not just the i r s, but there would be tax authorities in new york state, for example, or the county in which that the state exists. that could look at his tax returns

and try to get some redirect. so there are a lot of different ways in which his being shady with his taxes, including gifts, to his children that were really in the form of loans. a lot of different ways that people can get to the bottom of this, not just from the ira. richard, how much does all of this just reinforce what we already know about the us tax system, but illegally allows wealthy americans who can afford a good tax accountant to stay rich because they can avoid paying their fair share of taxes? well again, we don't know whether these claims that trump is made. our taxes are legitimate. we know what he submitted to the arrest. we just don't know again and given what we know about his, his lack of attention to the truth, we don't know that what he claimed was actually honest. it is certainly the case that the u. s. tax system is riddled with loopholes. trump, you may remember in his 2016 debate again,

hillary clinton boasted of the fact he didn't pay taxes that he said made him smart, will see after the authorities get to the bottom of all these taxes and the implications whether he was a smart, as he said he was rich and a final vote for me before you go was like you then to be the political fallout from this. i mean, is it likely to affect trump's intentions to run for the presidency in $22040.00 as well as we know we've already declared that he's running. there's some suggestion that he actually announced as early as he did to immunize himself against prosecution. the theory being the prosecutor wouldn't come after a political opponent. i think that was a little cute by him and probably won't stand the test of time. look, his supporters believe that if he did shoot somebody in the middle of 5th avenue in new york city, it wouldn't matter. but most people don't share that you. and i think with all these shoes that are dropping, whether it's regarding taxes or other possible criminal implications of his,

i think his popularity seems to be thinking. but among republicans, if a primary was held today with multiple candidates, chances are he would get a plurality, as he did in 2016. richard. good thing, really good force and your analysis, richard. thank you. thank you. they're not venezuelan opposition. party the voted to dissolve the interim government led by one guy joe was formed after president nicolas medulla was widely distributed victory in the 2018 elections. alessandro patsy has moved from baton in neighboring columbia. majority of the opposition representatives have lost faith in the ability of one way to reach the 2 goals for which the alternative parallel interim government was created. now more than 3 years ago, which were house my, do it all and restore democracy and venezuela. it's clear now that my daughter remains fairly in power and it's quite clear indeed,

there will be free and fair elections in 2024 presidential election. and there is a new negotiation in place that it's happening in mexico. with him, i dirty of the opposition parties with the backing of the mexican government and the united states. so it was at this point quite clear what the role was for one way and is government. now from one way perspective though, this is a mistake because he thinks that the maintaining and entering government was the necessary tool to keep confronting my duel. and until the last moment he did indeed try to find that consensus among all the opposition parties to maintain this government in place yesterday, he said that he was ready to step aside as long as they are in government was

maintained the but instead of majority of the representatives have decided that a new strategy needed to be put in place, but more so to come here now does air including how ukraine's reactive to the launch in a series of kamikaze drawn strikes by russia. marianna, stay with us. ah hello. we got yet more snow in the forecast for japan over the next couple days. nothing like the kind of amounts that we have seen recently. but the will still be more wintry weather. the wind still coming in from a general north wesley direction. and in fact, saturday doesn't actually look too bad, largely dry. perhaps want to rain showers, perhaps a little bit of sleep as it pushes him over the high ground. i was out of the mountains. tokyo should be largely dry temperatures here,
