the printer german culture. is very high class. in this country. gramma. to me it's all that. i'm rachael. post. this is. coming up. to the philippines nearly 2 decades. in the country. to find out why and look at what's being done. another weekend of hong kong protests follows a similar. warning from china does not president xi jinping indicates how much he's willing to tolerate. flooding across.

the island nation. welcome. it's good to have you with us it's a threat the philippines thought. that sparked off in 1000 years. at least 2 children have been found to have contracted the virus it has also been detected in sewerage in manila and a waterway in the south of the country the government has declared an outbreak and efforts are being made to immunize billions of children by some estimates 3 out of 5 children in the philippines are not immunized against polio is a highly contagious disease that spreads through contact and immunization is the only way to prevent it. that's one of the n.s.a.

has been monitoring the philippines response to the outbreak and joins benaud from manila and estimates for the number of children under the age of at risk at about 11000000 what is being done to reach them. so the philippines after eradicating polio for nearly 2 decades confirmed 2 cases and the health department has classified this as an outbreak to curb this outbreak the health department has launched 3 rounds of vaccination targeting some 6 point $6000000.00 children under the age of 5 suspects the nation dr will be in 2 sites one is in metro manila and the other is in selected areas of mindanao which is in southern philippines this is where the 2 sites where the 2 cases of polio were confirmed that i went with the health department workers today and they were doing a sweep of the neighborhoods literally knocking on every door to ask if there were children under the age of 5 in the house and if they could be vaccinated they

visited daycare centers they even set up kiosks at train stations it was a very intensive vaccination campaign to make sure that no child left behind but children are being left behind i know that's appears to be the reality why is that happening why is the vaccination program not being as effective as expected. that's true but actions very unfortunate that a few years ago there was a vaccine scare over the dang back so in the dang good vaccine scare that caused vaccination rates across all diseases and all health department programs to just. parents were terrified of vaccines they refused to have their children vaccinated health care workers told me that when they would do a vaccination right like the ones they did today parents would hide their children they would slam the door in their faces and in one very extreme case a parent chased away health care workers with a knife so they were just very very terrified of vaccines and this caused the

vaccine trust to just plummet. health emergency to hit the philippines. after the measles and brick and build these together the lives of more than $1500.00 people what does that say about the philippines is. the philippine health care infrastructure is insufficient and it's got more bad news because for 2020 the health care budget has been slashed by about 10000000000 paso's or the women of about 175000000 euro this is going to affect the manpower that's needed by the health department for monitoring and surveillance programs of outbreaks that this one with polio and i think we also have a think about the vaccine scare is continuing to impact the public's perception of vaccines there's been a massive loss of trust in vaccines and in the public health care system now the

budget that would have been used to fund education programs and information campaigns to bring back that trust has now been slashed the health care department definitely had its job cut out for it. was from manila thank you very much for that . thank you. in just a few words china's leaders has conjured a chilling image of how he might deal with those who want to break with the state while a visit to nearby over the weekend president xi jinping said this anyone who attempts to split any region from china when the parish with their bodies smashed and bones ground she did not blame anyone specifically but his comments come. to hong kong over the weekend protestors in flash mobs across the city businesses and metro stations police organized

a muscular response and made scores of arrests. a correspondent phil asked them what they thought of she's comments. so you guys are taking part in another protest this evening you all heard president she's comments over the weekend how does that make you feel does it does it worry you just along here it doesn't worry just another people it's just the fact that we all listen want. speech was but she still hadn't listened to our voices 5 demand not one last i hopefully after the other 4 immediately ok so one of your demands the complete scrapping of the exhibition which stops these protests is the one that's been met the other 4 demands included into bed independent investigations of the police and universal suffrage and how about you you have launched by president she's comments i don't feel we'll worry about what he said because. because he's afraid about his people. you know once one country

is already there so there's so many ways. we can use only one way we can do so we have to stand out and fight for it ok and how about you you consent. really bother me because i think it gives us a real team. session harassment and. it's about him he led government to give to the policeman and it has been used to he says you're harassed a girl oh boy some protesters and also the pro is pros here is so it really gives us a break here so what you are firing to there is allegations that are doing the rounds here among protesters in hong kong that people have been sexually harassed and police stations after they've been arrests arrested and so when it comes to your 5

to mons having heard what president she has said how confident are you that the remaining 4 will be met we are very very close because of one. demands already been answered the other for hopefully with the coming elections the chinese government will know the hong kong people will full o. the people who support the hong kong government with that elections. everybody will be a part of it and hopefully. the chinese government will know what our choices is being as heard today the district select yes that is taking place next month and how about you are you still confident. because you know. you can see the hong kong people in. their face to enough to to see who's to see people face to face. yes yes yes how about you and for me yes i am confident too. for the protests to

go but. for now i think many people are afraid of the policeman because behave b.s. right now for me i am also afraid of the police because when i go out to the street when i see the person i walk away so it really scared me but i still. finish and achieve our goals. thank you thank you. thousands of rescue workers in japan have been working day and night in the wake of typhoon i give you this fighting rising floodwaters and helping stranded residents are the best which means speed in the philippines language tagalog is one of the most powerful typhoon typhoons to hit the country in 6 decades just say that in some areas up to 40 percent of your leverage fall was recorded in just 2 days
