transparency jiang high a resident of son john is angry with the government for not making public details about the virus which he claims could have prevented the death of his father in. this small neighborhood park near his home in gin is a place filled with memories for john high. didn't is over for him last year my father used to sit at this place. every time i come to these familiar places i go to places i used to visit with my father. i'm overwhelmed with grief at the same time i feel anger jungly far john high's father was a veteran of china's nuclear testing program he was a 100 didn't but he spent his last years at his son's home in the coastal city of shenzhen about 1000 kilometers from one in january he broke his leg as

a veteran he enjoyed good medical insurance but he was required to get treated in his hometown. so when he needed treatment i took him to war and when he was in hospital i sat by his. this was my way to show my love for him we chinese don't like to talk about our feelings to express our love with words but we show them with deeds. don't. know how i feel haunted by remorse i feel that by taking him to han i sent him to his death. at that time covered 19 was already spreading in the city and local officials were reassuring people that the virus could not be transmitted from person to person alive as it later turned out his father contracted the virus in hospital just how i could do nothing but to sit by his bed and watch him get weak

and. he has kept videos of his father's final days on his phone. jungly fast drugged for one week before he died his body was immediately taken for cremation. in my opinion the officials who covered off the disease in its early days had behaved like criminals. china since largely managed to control the spread of the virus life is back to normal in most places the government prides itself on its ability to contain new outbreaks through testing and quarantine the public mood has shifted from anger to appreciation of the government's response and those who want to remember the sufferings of the past under pressure to keep quiet john myers try to file

a case in court against your forties his case was rejected his social media accounts were shut down he has received threats from the authorities so this isn't a matter. these events have left us relatives of the victims with a boundless feeling of pain it's a pain that will stay for the rest of our lives but the local authorities just say this matter is already over their tone shows a complete disregard of other people's lives. moore says nichols all that's left of his father's live up of happier days john has not even retrieved his ashes from the criminal for fear of public outbreaks of anger the government requires that victims have to be buried in the presence of vishal the condition he refused.

that report by correspondent mathias burning in the philippines president drugger to tetter has volunteered to be the 1st in his country to try a new covert $900.00 vaccine developed by russia to ted has suggested that russia wanted to offer the vaccine for free to the philippines there's been no confirmation from russia on this but a senior official said clinical trials were expected to begin in the philippines so on here is more of what detectives said. president. i will tell president putin that i have huge trust in your studies income botting covert 19 years. in. maybe leave fiend. it's really good food we want to be very profitable to show my trust and then i will tell doctors that i will be the 1st to get vaccinated when the vaccine arrives you know that we will see if it works if it

works on me then it is good for everyone. who would you want at school cross to my colleague did i'm a correspondent and i santarus who joins me now from manila and i good to see you i'm wondering how filipinos view it would be good to turn his offer to try out the claimed russian covert vaccine on himself well it's that statement has gotten a lot of mixed reactions there are a group of people who are saying that it's absolutely preposterous to volunteer in south and at the same time there's another group that just says you know what if you want to be the 1st one to try out a vaccine that has not according to global health authorities has not gone under mass clinical trials then be our guest you can be the 1st one in line for that we have to remember that the philippines is still suffering from its traumatic experience with vaccines because of the botched dang good vaccine program from

a few years back that's where a lot of this is coming from so this lack of confidence in vaccines in general plus this over quantity and in an over promise of a russian back scene has caused incredulous sarcasm among the public and a lot of skepticism as well and of course this offer from the president is coming in addition to it as such in some cases in the country and this has already pushed the capital manila into another lockdown something you are experiencing your sort of how is it going. well we're in the middle of the 1st week of lockdown and we have yet to see a drop in the new covert infection this law down was called for by the medical community who issued out a distress call saying that if we do not do this the health system can collapse you can imagine that the kind of state of emergency that that quote from the medical community had spurred no motion in the if i could just go into that what people are

telling me is that they're very emotionally and economically hurting that we had 3 months of lockdown before this starting march so a lot of people feel that that was valuable 3 months of one of the longest and most punitive and strict lockdown could have been used to prepare the health system so that we could have avoided this kind of mis managed approach to cove it 19 additionally a lot of people are just so very emotionally distraught just today if i may share you know there was a friend who had to deal with the death of a parent and a husband who she had lost in a span of one week both due to coal that the cases are hitting very close to home and underneath all of this economic suffering and this emotional pain is a lot of. i should say so simmering of anger now people are calling for 3

things there is ignition of the health secretary a complete revamp of the colvin task force which is mostly comprised of retired generals and replacing them with scientists and epidemiologists and mostly they are demanding for a concrete health driven plan and they're telling the president that waiting for a vaccine no matter where it falls a comes from is not. just time some are sold on a sometimes an 11 to so much of these states. it's not just the philippines but vietnam as well which is fighting artists. after more than 3 months without any domestic transmission the latest outbreak began in the central city of denying and then spread to more than 13 locations around the country are thought of things have moved quickly to contain the name just outbreak planning for the worst vietnam has converted this sports arena into a back of covert hospital should the outbreak worsen the 1000 beds here would ease

the pressure on hospitals in vietnam's coronavirus epicenter the city of denying there on july 25th confirmed its 1st domestic coronavirus case in 3 months 2 more infections were reported the next day the government wasted no time in responding it banned wildlife imports reimposed social distancing suspended the domestic football league and on the 27th all tourists were ordered to leave denying 80000 people mostly vietnamese holiday makers were abruptly evacuated from the beach resort authorities were taking no chances and people were not protesting. i should go back tomorrow afternoon but i'd rather flood back tonight. this is a situation no one wants so even though it's not convenient we totally understand for years i just want to return to one noise. emptied fast

a shock for vietnam which earlier one international praise for being a pandemic success story no domestic cases in months thanks to quickly imposed travel bans lockdowns quarantines and widespread tracing and testing suddenly those achievements seemed in danger. and then get all provinces are at high risk and should raise their alert level senior officials there and the whole political system should take action the public should be careful and alert and follow instructions. the virus has since passed and with over $400.00 additional cases and at least 16 deaths compared to most countries those numbers remain miniscule the government hopes the tactics that prove themselves in the past will again do the trick but this latest outbreak shows how quickly the virus can reemerge when people think that it's been beaten. that's it for today be sure to
