this is a show coming up a containment effort never seen before china has been praised by the blue a chore for its response to the corner of august outbreak now a model for the world to follow someone in the chinese or for the 1st time plus. one country 2 presidents. with a bit of polish makes a u.s. troop withdrawal.

welcome. it's good to have you with us as coronavirus cases worldwide crossed 110000 mark today on the program we'll look at if anything can be learned from the country where the outbreak began china we all remember these scenes from late january early february 2 new hospitals built in under 2 weeks the epicenter of the outbreak all part of what the world health organization described as the most ambitious and aggressive disease containment effort in history and effort the global health body says worked its part of the report double actual health experts submitted last month after a visit to china i'll be speaking to an expert who was part of that team shortly but 1st here's more on china's response not all of which has been without

controversy. and here at this life food market in china a mysterious virus born in shops triggering a wave of. the internet soon failed with pictures of hospitals are breaking point and the body bags piling up on buses. brought to the world by citizen journalists risking life and liberty. mark you well i'm not even scared of death you think i'm a communist party. china scrambled its massive resources in the most ambitious containment efforts ever seen. this is something all chinese people are involved in each person will pitch in and will play their part. health workers from across china headed to the front lines of the outbreak putting themselves in harm's way.

of course we're worried and so are our relatives. but we're nurses and will do our job as long as we wear the uniform the school of china's response is unprecedented new medical centers built in days. universal temperature monitoring controversial strict. rules that included locking down a city of millions helping to stop the spread. meticulous contact tracing and 10000 epidemiologists aggressively traced every passenger to coronavirus patient had been in contact with. hundreds of thousands were tested at fever clinics like this scientists were charging from a fact finding mission praised the efforts. this is a rapidly escalating epidemic in different places that we have got to tackle super

fast to prevent a pandemic it's actually what china demonstrates is where this goes is within the control of our decisions to apply this kind of rigor and approach to this disease i expect say that china is a blueprint for the world but the question is can the and we'll be following. professor david fisher is one of us an investor of singapore and he was part of the team that visited china in february professor fischer thank you for joining us the report commands china for the kind of response it had to the corona virus outbreak my question to you is is the wall ready to follow the china playbook. well that's a good question dear ish in fact one of our comments was that we had major concerns about whether the world was ready some of the interventions that were acquired in

china. really work required a lot of community engagement and a lot of foreigners the decisiveness and we thought some countries could struggle. would you like to mean these countries is most of the world ready to follow the china response you know that the world is full of countries with completely different contexts so you know i think they the countries that are being taken by surprise you know that the ones with many cases at the moment. you know in many ways the lucky ones they were the 1st ones tested and more and more now the people can say what happened in italy which is not completely different to what happened to move on compared to what's happening in iran or south korea you know these countries were tested very early

and and. other countries i think got the opportunity to learn from what happened in china but also from what's happening in these other countries and and try and have the preparedness in place so that they don't follow likewise much along the lines of a try and it clears effectively imposed a nationwide lockdown would you say of the based on the current situation of the number of cases worldwide that there are other countries that should have potentially important on lockdown by now and they haven't. it's really about whether you're able to bring in the interventions one of the major interventions is early case detection and identifying the contacts and being able to follow them up closely enough so that if their case if they become cases then we can stop that chaman transmission because they're being

identified early and the date in many cases isolated even before the symptoms began so. you need to have sort of these more drastic measures such as lockdowns i think when the number gets to the point that you physically can't track everybody anymore so it's like stay still because we can't follow you. just as a final question if there are certain measures or would recommend to governments around the world which would those measures be that should definitely be followed in the event of corn of others are bricks. so it might surprise you to hear my answer but to me the biggest measure is community engagement if the community is not on board with the response then this can't be were the solution is in the community and that's because spread occurs through the community and if people don't have that that sort of social responsibility to be part of the

solution then any government is going to struggle governments need to provide the context tracing and they and the the overall surveillance the enhanced approach to testing the easy availability of testing ideally for a testing. but governments can do that but it's the communities that need to have to say ok when i'm sick i'm not going to go out but if i do have to go up i'm going to wear a mask and i'm going to cop into my own work and i'm going to wash my hands frequently and i'm going to stay away from from people as much as i cannot know going doors to large large gatherings because that's where a lot of these sort of larger outbreaks occur president fischer will have to leave ever the very being but thank you so much for joining us. my question.

the united states has begun withdrawing its troops from afghanistan following the terms of a droll deal with the taliban and on 13000 american troops are stationed in the country or u.s. been spokesman says it will carry out conditions based the doctrine of forces by about 40 percent over the next few months and america is trying to keep up the international momentum the u.s. has called for a vote today in the u.n. security council backing its deal with the taliban but political chaos in kabul threatens to derail the next crucial step intra of come peace talks on monday incumbent president of danny to the far right and his political rival. held inaugurations ronnie was declared the winner of september's election but abdullah has alleged alleged election fraud here's what both leaders had to say at their viral ceremonies well as any funny i ask for my political rivals to come and serve this nation together shoulder to shoulder. that i need work that in my.

mom a shot we are and have always been prepared for negotiations. we work for the unity not the division of afghanistan not that i've talked enough for more we're joined by journalist a leader of the fee who's following developments in afghanistan and the good to have you with us now both a short ghani and a do love do love are sounding conciliate 3 yet both of them have declared themselves presidents of ghana sun surely somebody has got to give. this is a world this is exactly what people are wondering because now it's been 24 hours since both inaugurations took place. and no one knows what's going to happen you know there is a lot of fear that when doctor of the law would go to his office doctors that he occupied as the chief executive for the last 5 years that there might be police at

the door that he might not be allowed in and if such a thing happens that it could lead to some kind of standoff so far nothing like that has happened but there is still the fear that if not today possibly tomorrow or the day after and it's just really this question of you know one person you know one person had there not in the other and they're both claiming to be president. and what does that actually mean politically in any in those sort of the realistic sides and what does it also mean for the interim afghan talks which was supposed to go on the road today i mean what is the future run of god given that a government together off an election. this is the philosophical question that arises from people people are saying look if you want to sit there and talk to the taliban and you are the 2 you know leaving cracks in the country and you and you are literally holding parallel inaugurations you know what does that mean for coming together to talk to the enemy you have a common enemy but you know can you joining in in positively sort of counteract

that enemy and talk to that enemy in a way to come to a peace and to come to an agreement you know for the last 56 years there's been a lot of talk of disunity amongst that i'll pull a lawn and now the taliban are sort of you know making fun of that claim saying ok you said we were and this is not unified look at you to your both you know the leading democrats of this country and look at the state you're leaving it in. kabul thank you very much for that. that's a bit of a 2 of you was in selfish. really good all with something which is all celebrations of the 1st of us come up from across india and pakistan we're back tomorrow with you there.
