that people be doing it in the evening as already planned as was just requested by the supreme court of india but if in the evening a mismatch is found if there's any trouble with the verification of ray's electronic warding machines it is expected that there will be trouble brewing and that results could still be delayed till the next morning you may as well thank you . in pakistan a spike in the number of children testing positive for hiv has sent parents into a panic over the past several weeks entire families have shown up at clinics demanding blood screenings at least 500 people have since been identified as hiv positive most of them children the epicenter of this outbreak appears to be in the southern sindh province in villa carnot district here's our story. news of the outbreak trickett stampedes to ratu darrow's hospitals hundreds of frightened women wanted to get themselves and their children tested for hiv as
