an exclusive report from a destroyed city. in the science of. starts may 20th. this is. on the. way the world health organization. for the 1st time ever. prevent best practices.

scuffles between. it's all about abuse of national anthem. and gets back to business. after months of. welcome to the program health experts and diplomats are preparing for days of tense talks starting shortly at the world health assembly the annual meeting is the governing body of the world health organization and should be focused on combating the coronavirus but disputes between global rivals are threatening to overshadow the it's being hosted at the geneva but if you take place online the united states is again expected to. and its leadership. which it accuses of being too lenient on

china the u.s. has also been pushing for the w.h.o. to end its exclusion of taiwan china which came styron as it stood a tree has been blocking its ought to special for 7 yards. this of course means that one of the places that's been most successful at combating the coronavirus pandemic won't have a seat at the table taiwan has said it won't prestige to but taipei wants to share how it managed to keep its infections and death rates or law. no locked down of any kind despite its proximity to china taiwan is one of the few spots on earth where life has continued close to normal throughout the pandemic with only a few 100 coronavirus infections and less than 10 deaths taiwan's handling of the crisis is a unique success story all the more surprising that the w.h.o. doesn't seem to be interested in taiwan's approach the organization blocked taiwan

from taking part in its annual meeting several years ago under pressure from beijing that has deprived the island of access to crucial information about the virus. we were successful yes. without that form it was very hard like we don't have many serious cases so treatment what are the t. protocols for serious cases a living will taiwan we need to stop this kind of political right to we would talk hold on to more important issues like health of everyone involved dr lu used to be a delegate to the w.h.o. when taiwan was still allowed to attend the assembly as an observer but that ended on beijing's behest when taiwan's president from the pro independence party took office 4 years ago china claims that island has its own territory and therefore

deems taiwan has no right to w.h.o. membership. in that politics should be set aside when it comes to health issues it's good for taiwan to share its experience with the world but you know again i have to pay one or 2 made a contribution to public. now you know it's unclear to be excluded however from. taiwan has maintained its infection rate lower than almost anywhere else with 0 domestic infections for over a month even so the taiwanese haven't let their guard down perhaps this is one of the things the world and the w.h.o. could learn from this island. we're joined now by dr daniel moore the former time when he's delegate to the world health assembly who was featured in that report he joins us from taipei dr no welcome and despite not being a member of the doubler true or taiwan has had spectacular success and ling the coronavirus spend demick how was that possible yes good going

from taiwan one it was possible many because of the sas experience with the thing including a legal basis with the company cation a company he sees in place but we have a challenge this time from the koran the virus and also despite of our society from this our long mutation of the so-called ignited we will prepare and we prepare early and we prepare earnestly i think this is important. in public health it is the way we have been doing this work for so long we need almost a trial so spare isee and truthfulness that we deal with health lives of people not politike and when we do that

a front if you see they people trust this the officials have been trust us so well that i am. i can't describe in words how much we have been. depends up on and without being loose in the face of both taking out in these disease without any issues but despite that despite all the trust that was reported in your own taiwan is to not a member of the doubler drew on this membership has been opposed in china and us president donald trump has in fact said that the double interest court very china centric do you agree. to a point yes because i.p.t. that as a separate show work in mckenney isn't all the members should be respected for not interference of a certain group of certain. member. if s.

they want to say no one to be left behind then how they should be more. open and more direct to the most fundamental principle of the international public health rights my piece right to speak on bike and sort it out but speaking about international optical venue would you say that taiwan not being a member of the w.h.o. puts lives at risk in taiwan very much so so specially when the formations not reiki develop will cheney mention that if we already understand disease viruses quite dangerous and yet there are some vital information it's not radio level it and the strains them and also a very specific space if the item the primer tests if we cannot get the prime or

the tests we need require each extra efforts to sow to set out and to get the proper results done without that it's not possible. or to daniel lu in taipei relieve it there for the time being but thank you very much for joining us thank you let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world u.s. president donna from as rushed out that is very decisive barak obama following the former president rossley incompetent in a short question and answer session with reporters trump's attack came after obama criticized his administration's handling of the pandemic escorts and absolute chaotic disaster. japan has plunged into recession the government reported a 3.4 percent drop in gross domestic product in the 1st 3 months and exports had their worst month since a 2011 awkward tokyo has come up with

a rescue package worth nearly one trillion dollars but analysts expect a deeper slump and a slow recovery. to hong kong now where for the 2nd time in 10 days scuffles broke out in the legislative council between pro-democracy and pro-government politicians there was sparked over the question of who heads a key committee in the parliament told the house committee it could oversee a debate on a bill that seeks to criminalize abuse of china's national and. joining me now is experience lawmaker and former chairman of the democratic party albert hall mr hall welcome laws that criminalize abuse of a national anthem out in force in many countries around the world why is this last such a problem for hong kong when it is a part of china. well this. we need.

why the council. on this go and does that all women know. all in all i see that. we have a law and. that's the goal that we are. the everybody should all. get in that get in the way that although that was the. scoop and why i could answer. you know you know i lost it don't know who rushed through with this and get this and they've been cool why did this call and then on the date which is steel box you know as they all call so you go up. and bowl completed also pretty old softball that's a statement you can pick up with this mr hope now we can talk about you speak about

why do consultations but no consultation can happen because beijing says the pro-democracy lawmakers and essentially filibustering essentially pantomimes in the walk of the midst of council so how do you expect when the consultations will happen it's an instance of cannot get on with its work. also its incipient and. you know all speaking up and because they didn't keep the deputy you know they didn't bust they're just getting. quite ok so the in every the ottomans you know well i want to live in a way to the point 6 months of clinton turn up again but this didn't happen but the past 6 months in the midst of constant on cong. but they had said in all that well wait but will all of you go and smiled a smile a way of it in with. this this is about the way it is the law. will sound al.

and they're all next thing you know kowalski and. not only does about this letter they can that's the end but also all their ways they state and local issues so i'm and this is in police who did it so we have to look at it they brought that we get to the spot only it's not only about that but that oval office mr who you talk about and good of them they just that i was and that has been visible in the not just part of council do true democracy not just that those in hong kong believe there is a democratic process that can happen in hong kong. yes we have been limited we have received all coffee and possible go. you know. and it could be that i didn't i will be confined to. the let's speak in the sand let's do the people you know the next state this and you have the backbone to walk out opposite

extradition bill that was eventually scrapped in the midst of council do you foresee that in the coming months there will be father street protests as a result of this national anthem been. not only about it. but all these that it ok there has been almost you know i think in the end in this deal within the community including you know what that awful lot from before stepping foot inside. an independent income and comprehensive and cry we all. think. obese what kind of. you know i and then the night ok and so you can go in the last 3 months that society has become combat what we call socket every day and they. find that and then but at least in the you know we'd be. in

news now the bundesliga resumed over the weekend after the 2 month suspension because of the coronavirus there were no fans in the stands and the players had to contend with strict new hygiene rules but one thing to mean the same leaders by a new nick one they beat. 2 nil away. happy to be back at work. and grateful to be healthy with bard munich gunning for an 8th straight title they needed maximum points against you in berlin and they got them. from the corner thomas thought he put the defending champions ahead early in the 1st half but. had to settle for an offside call instead just before the break you know it's never been so but it's helped by aaron take the leave after a falla leader on gretzky who sold it well. byron

penalty taker robert live in dusky back from a knee injury got the goalkeeper to guess wrong for his 40th goal in all competitions this season. after the break byron were successful from the quarter thanks to been told us that are the defenders 3rd goal this season wrapped up the 2 nil victory and what about say one of the buntings are highly motivated and i think preparing for these games these last weeks there was so much anticipation for this moment to finally start again you could see that in the players' cup because then the s.p.l. and also missing america despite their slow start byard munich re stuart their 4 point cushion at the top of the table. so buy on one but what was the whole buddhist leader weekend like in corona virus dime's mark meadows sports is here to tell us more marc welcome this experiment was

a pitch perfect i'd say it was a success yeah there are a few problems i mean as we saw there the players didn't really know what to do when when they scored a goal i mean they meant to touch elbows 'd or touch with feet nervously they touched elbows and it sort of became a whole going to slap on the back which they'd been told not to do but it's very hard to tell a footballer ignore social distancing during the match you can put in whatever tattles you want get as close as you want to be of a player but then when you've got a goal you're not allowed to touch each other it's human nature is going to happen and there was one unfortunate scene right at the start of the live broadcasts on saturday actually where one player immediately spat on the ground as soon as the camera panned to him and that's obviously not allowed either but you know it's professional sport it's stuff the coaches would generally well behaved some of them kind of ripped off their masks the soon as they got out there which again they were supposed to do but what happened is most of the coaches then stood on the sidelines barking out their orders without their mass but that then meant there was natural

social distance back to the bench where everyone else was wearing masks so that sort of worked out quite well so i think all in all the winners they go be happy with how it went so that was the action on the pitch but what about in the stands north fans what must have been tough being no fans in the stands yet it was tough for the players it was very eerie wasn't it without a crowd noise you know to hear what the actual players are saying to each other that was no but yet tough on the fans there will worries from police that fans would congregate outside the stadiums in large numbers sort of defeating the whole point of not having fans that didn't happen there was a few people here and there but nothing serious so the fans were left to watch it i would homer and are in a pub obviously pubs have just started opening in germany again but it is not quite the same when you go to social distance so it was tough for people at home it was also. because although it was free to wear on one particular channel not everyone have that channel so yeah we followed a few fans watching the door and shouted game which is the big darby on saturday

terrible fish out there they were wiped out for now but even dortmund fans so happy with it let's have a little listen. to buses per team driving them to the stadium in dought and not because the players have double the number but the practice social distancing fans are also keeping a distance most importantly from the stadium they are searching for new ways to watch football matches for example at a drive in. only get a professional i never would have thought that i'd be back at a drive in especially today when you can watch games live from home or at the stadium which we miss now but honestly football is the driving is a 1st for me to fit with others stick with tradition and go to a bar they've been allowed to reopen under certain conditions of course. everyone is usually greeted with a hug but that's all gone now you can even shake hands yet. i. cheering almost without contact well apart and with a subdued mood

a step towards normality but it doesn't really feel liberating for many. from the set of the mind i'm happy to be back at the bar with my friends again watching football enjoying football and a beer but it's still quite surreal part is that possibly. others prefer to stay home with a barbecue and to be here it's almost like being at the stadium but it's clear that without the fans there cheering their side on even the match on t.v. is lacking something. i must say that now that the game is over it was even more lifeless and money emotional than i expected. for many fans the excitement of the season has been lost. now and you know it's actually a season with 3 different rounds. of i don't know i i hook by the

there's a 1st round a 2nd round in a corona round we play in the game as usual. the ball is bouncing again but the excitement has largely evaporated whether football played like this will serve as a model for other sports and leagues is open to question. without excitement the bundesliga becomes the 1st major european league to resume during the coronavirus crisis will other european leagues follow suit i think they will now yeah i mean there was another game yesterday which was cologne against minds and the big worry was that the games wouldn't be exciting we can actually watched a little bit of that game now it actually was exciting even without the fans that was a $22.00 draw and it was a good comeback for minds a bit of drama and i think some of the other leagues and worried that it would be too sterile but that game proves that you can still have a good marketable products and the english premier league are actually meeting today to decide if they're going to come back and i think they will have watched

the banners they can probably closely and said it's not brilliant it's not perfect but it's still football so i expect that the english premier league will come back in june we also have the spanish league they started training for the 1st time today so i think they'll come back as well the french and dutch leagues act their divisions because they decided they couldn't finish it they probably think maybe were a bit too quick rash with that decision so germany leading the way live there for the time being mark meadows thank you very much for that. i think more news and updates on beat up the doc opens you back at the minutes.

i cringe as you very well. plan to drive years a big or small i can do it all real is not for. fast small and sustainable. cause. i live right.
