5:20 pm
learn from the hearing heidi? ah, elizabeth, this 1st hearing that is set to focus on the origin of the co made 19 virus. now we've already had some or shadowing of what the debate will center around and that is the lab leak. theory that this virus may have somehow accidentally escaped out of the will, han virology institution which happened to be studying corona viruses at the time. now we saw this because republicans released a memo over the weekend that was critical of anthony valgy who was seen as the foremost american doctor and researcher on decoded, 19 response critical of him republican saying that he was not open minded enough to this possibility that the virus leaped from a lab and was more insistent, as he still believes that this virus occurred in nature and then jumped to humans.
5:21 pm
now doctor voucher is not among the invited witnesses though before this panel. rather, we are hearing from 3 witnesses called by the republican lead committee will include robert redfield, the former director of the centers for disease control and prevention under for as a president, trump, as well as 2 other non government experts. those 3 have all said that they believe the virus could have accidentally escaped from a lab. and then as far as the democrats, they have called one witness, the director of infectious diseases from the johns hopkins medical school. now it's unlikely though that will learn any new information on this theory that it, that the virus escape from the lab and these witnesses rather to turn to more so of answers. those may be coming from another hearing before the senate, also occurring to date. april haines. the director of national intelligence will be briefing senators about the u. s. intelligence communities assessment of the origin of the coven viras. and as we know, that's
5:22 pm
a divided assessment at the moment with the energy department and now the f. b, i stating that they believe with low confidence that the virus quoted accidentally escape from a lab. while other intelligence agencies believe it's more likely to have heard in nature, still a very much raging and ongoing debate here and given that it's such a good day given the attention on those, what are the expectations for political future? heidi of course there's always expectations for that here. elizabeth on capitol hill. this committee the subcommittee on the coven. and before the house is controlled by republicans, the republican leader and the democratic leader here have both said they are hoping for a substantive and thorough investigation into the facts. but we have plenty of members here who may have other other priorities in mind, including marjorie taylor smith,
5:23 pm
who is an about conspiracy theorists. and she has in the past called doctor anthony felt she an enemy to the world in regard to his response to co that. and what we also have represented ronnie jackson, who was a former white house physician, who painted a very rosy outlook for president trump, tell them who was later investigated for drinking on the job and for bully staff members. so there is plenty of potential that there will be political drama here from the 7 republicans and rather than 9 republicans and the 7 democrats who make up this committee record to it how i do. thank you very much for that. how does your cost ro live from washington dc? ah, in the agency say the humanitarian response in northwest soviet february's to devastating earthquakes has been inadequate. they blame it on

5:25 pm
help has been slow and adequate. they blamed this partly on the lack of funding, without which the ability to respond will be limited. we cannot skate to the level of needs, mostly because we lack funding. and because also the coordination structure is that we're responding to not with cd before being in turkey. and most of them have been all selected. earthly syria was already among the most underfunded humanitarian crises in the world. and so far less than half of the $400000000.00 requested by the un to deal with the immediate needs from the disaster has been funded. but it's not the only problem. a coordinated effort is needed in a largely isolated region which lacks the capacity and resources to face its latest catastrophe. all the while access to northwest syria depends on
5:26 pm
a political decision by the syrian government. biggest thing is predictable access . we saw the addition of 2 border crossings for you and 8. access was a good start. but at the 3 month window that you know they're operating off of is wholly insufficient, the skill to humanitarian response and to northwest syria. furthermore, is the 2nd piece, which is that we need a principal not a political response. an unconscionable failure is how some aid workers described the international response in syria so far for those who survived. the recovery from the aftermath of this disaster has yet to start setting whether i should, you know, iraq is facing an unprecedented water crisis because of drought. many don't have access to safe drinking water as much without the while head reports from nothing. yeah. these land used to be covered by thriving fields and orchards, but like many other areas in iraq, southern provinces,
