a finally made public board. a barriers are gradually being removed. we look at what's behind the tensions between kosovo and serbia and their hometown hero of fans. and santos are saying a final good bye to brazil, king of football. ah . the world health organization has held a high level meeting with chinese officials to request more information on its surge and coven 19 cases. double h. r. officials asked for sharing of real time data and tracking of any potential new variance. they also offer to provide practical support to china, which has seen a dramatic rise in infection since rolling back at 0 cobit policy. it follows growing doubts about the transparency of official information. while the u. k and france have joined a growing list of countries to impose coping 19 checks on arrival from china,

the us, japan, india, and italy have already announced compulsory testing. china has denounced the new rules as discriminatory organs, haiti, all countries scoured 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 wave of cases appears to be overwhelming chinese hospitals and funeral homes, but the official number of corona virus deaths being reported remains low or authorities change the criteria for recording cobit 19 deaths. earlier this month, dr. brought pan carney from the university of exit his medical school. he says it's likely the strains taking hold in china are already in circulation. elsewhere, over understanding with respect to china is that it does not have a unusual different where in to what is sake,

elating in other parts of the world. having said that, because there is that issue of trust and transparency with china, we can never be 100 percent. sure. but my empirical feeling as a clinician in somebody working with this be this issue is what is circulating in china at the moment is also circulating in other parts of the world. this is a clear case of how china tragically very tragically, has mismanaged. the 2nd half of it span that make it did really well with it. test trace contain when we had no vaccines. unfortunately, after the vaccines arrived, china did not deploy the better quality, the better performing vaccines, the m r n. a vaccines that the west used and china pursued a absolute 0 policy. so now we have a chinese population that is not immune has not encountered this virus before. so

when they open up and they open up suddenly, all these people are as if they have never come across this virus before. some of them, the wonderful elderly old people will get very ill. they will clog up the hospitals . and unfortunately, a small percentage of that elderly, one of the population will die as well. now the tax information donald trump fought to keep private, has been exposed us house democrats, severally 6 years of his returns showing he paid no income tax in 2020. his 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 their extremely complex. the radical democrat 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, 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 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. while samuel de brunson was a professor of law at leona university in chicago,

he says there's no law that obliges presidents to disclose their tax returns. they are good questions about how the tax system treats the what the, how the wealthier able to offset income with losses that aren't available to most people. and from what i've looked at, i don't see any red flags that you just did. he cheated in using these offsets, rather he had the ability to use a lot of deductions because he has a lot of business heels and he has a lot of money as offers. i think that reflects a broader trend of donald trump breaking with tradition in breaking with norse unfortunately, or fortunately, i guess in his case, there is no law that requires presidents to disclose their tax returns. and possibly, congress never thought there needed to be a law because between president nixon and precedent. obama. every precedent in the vast majority of presidential candidates did voluntarily disclose their returns to

the public. but when donald trump declined to do that, it turned out that norms only have teeth to the extent that people believe in those norms. so there are a whole lot of pages, there are thousands of pages of tax returns, and i haven't had time to look through all of them yet. i suspect though, that there won't be any clear indication of transactions with governors. as you suggest, who does have an account in income from foreign countries. in those things may raise some red flags. there are questions about whether if he wants to operate in certain countries in his businesses, it, if he's going to be unduly unduly deferred to those countries in terms of foreign policy. but those are issues that he faced in that were publicly known during his prior presidency. between 20172020 kosovo as open to northern border crossings with
