city down in halves over there on the eastern pou dong side, including the financial center restrictions are already in place than the western pu. she section locks down starting friday tunnels and cross river bridges are closed as our highway toll booths and crossings. and there will be testing, testing and more testing in the eastern side than testing and more testing. and the more populous western side, those found to be infected, may be shuttled from health care facilities onto buses and taken to quarantine hotels. this in a country that had previously kept the corona virus under control, through strict 0 tolerance measures for even small numbers of cases, a shingle. i'm feeling very insecure and hearing a lot of rumors on the outside like we're short of this or that. and we need to rush to by them. people are panicking. just i am panicking to some extent. i don't feel optimistic to be honest. i sent in

a city wide lockdown. might do us good. the epidemic right now is quite serious. compared to other countries, the infection numbers are very low in china, and corona virus related deaths. the government says, stand at about 4600 as the us closes in on a 1000000 deaths from the pandemic. but as shanghai is response team has said that the number of intensive care beds per 1000000 people is much lower in china than many countries. facilities are improving. but vigilance, stunning vigilance to many remains and imperative. shanghai has looked on is china's largest city wide lockdown since the stall to the pandemic. we ask or responding fog and gretchen, if it marked the end of the 0 covert policy, no m, i, my interpretation is d m opposite because m actually, there were a lot of speculation going on. whether they, the government would basically have

british i have no idea. no one knows because he didn't see any. you just showed a letter paper actually. and he said that some foreign countries are conspiring against me. so we don't know, i believe it is an attempt to distract people's tension. and also from the know condoms won't that he's facing in parliament. and also, i think it's a very popular, you know, and the u. s. logan's already bought, i think he's referring to water. and that's of any bob, john logan and bob, be sure that the speech that we heard last night is a pre election speech. whether he's or wife to no confidence law or not, they're going to be early elections and box them. so he's trying to get his orders behind him. so hold him. so if and when these elections take place, now he is here ready to deal with it. with are no confidence for give us

there are me as i said, the economic policies are extremely bad over the past 3 and a half years since on the grains of the country. the inflation is record high, the unemployment is rising. the army has a lot of economic stakes and bucks more than anyone else. so the army is run off of the economic, you know, the mismanagement and also the foreign policy has been bothering him and the best politician and the rest prime minister, he went to moscow on mac, wooten, and all that army is not, is very unhappy with allied with the get the funding to get their equipment from from the us and the west and also focused on trade is like immensely it's, it's quite big when it comes to the west and china and russia not as much bricklayer
