a growing list of countries to impose cove in 19 checks on arrivals from china, the us, japan, india, and italy have already announced compulsory testing. china has denounced the new rules all countries, sculptured mountain prevention and control measures should be scientific and appropriate, and should not affect normal people to people contact, as well as normal exchange and co operation. 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. the wave of cases appears to be overwhelming chinese hospitals and funeral homes. the official number of corona virus deaths being reported remains low. authorities change criteria for recording cove 19 fatalities earlier this month. bobo in la health experts in the u . s. and the e. you say that waste water from airplanes arriving from china should be tested to
8:03 am
detect any new variant. testing waste water has become increasingly common throughout the united states and testing waste water from playing for passengers. in coming from china will give a sense of which strains of the virus are out there. that's very important because the chinese government has been very forthcoming providing data on the various variants of covet 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 war we know about the nature of the viruses that are circulating in
8:04 am
china, the better prepared the rest of the world can be there so much at home testing. and so many people not even bothering to get tests that we have a we don't have as good a sense of weird this virus is spreading in the united states. so test the waste border 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. indonesia has removed its remaining cave in 19 restrictions. president joker, we daughter says that the spread of the virus is on the control with infections and hospital admissions. below the w h. i guidelines. but he does say that people should remain vigilant edging them to continue wearing masks in crowded areas.

south korea says an old has 53 ballistic missiles, who adds the see east of the korean peninsula. the latest in an unprecedented number of missile task carried out by killing young this year. and he comes days off to north korean drones crossed into south korean as space. now the tax information donald trump full to keep private, has been exposed us. house democrats have really 6 years of his returns showing that he paid no income tax in 2020 his last full year as president the spot promising several times to release the information himself trumps to the house of representatives, ways and means committee to keep the records private, but in november the supreme court ruled that the document could be made public, and on friday they were angry. the former president. although these tax returns contain relatively little information and not information that almost anybody would
8:06 am
understand their extremely complex. the radical democratic behavior is a shame upon the u. s. congress. a white house correspondent kennedy hawk. it has moved 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 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 or not the president has done anything
8:07 am
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 of 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. samuel de bronson is
8:08 am
a professor of law at loyola university chicago. he says there is no, no obliges presidents to disclose their tax returns. they are good questions about how the tax system treats the wealthy, 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 fields and he has a lot of money back in. i think that reflects a broader trend of donald trump breaking with tradition in breaking with norms. 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 impressed into obama. every precedent in the
8:09 am
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 had 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 government. as you suggest, who does have an account in income from foreign countries. in those things, me raise some red flags. there are questions about whether if he wants to operate in certain countries in his businesses, 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 as well in opposition parties,
