[000:00:00;00] ah, it almost seems like a flash back from a time most of us would rather forget overcrowded hospital sick people collapsing on the streets. dead bodies piling up. but it's not spring of 2020. and this is not a to leave the u. s. or india. it's china in december of 2022. 12 days ago the country took a step back from years of extremely strict cove at 19 measures to day, much of china's health care system, that breaking points. experts predict that 10 percent of the world's population could be infected within the next 90 days, and that millions could die. i'm nicolle, roshan, berlin,

and this is the day ah, the exclusion of case the china started long before any easing of 20, called polish. it pretty much paying off a pen. sure. every proceed with the disease was for the intensively because i believe the control measures in themselves were not something that was in my mind. there's no other option. you have to allow this virus to circulate, you have to build up some, some natural images. in other words, v, who health system toward treaty people rather than isolated also coming up the 36 year wait, it's finally over as argentina when the world comes in the most controversial edition of the tournament, history by law got back because i'm tastic, it's the 3rd world cup i've seen,

but it's really the 1st one i've had with my daughters. and we've decided to come here because i think it's a historic moment as he gave us. yeah. ah, welcome to the show. it's good to have you it us. we begin the day in china, which is battling a dramatic surgeon code with 19 infections as it continues to ease the tough restrictions imposed under at 0 coded policy. the streets of shanghai were unusually calm. as many people continue to stay at home to avoid infection. millions of elderly people are in fully vaccinated and remain highly vulnerable to the disease. to day authorities reported the 1st deaths from the corona virus, since the easing of restrictions began earlier this month. but many are convinced the official figures don't reflect the truth. busy crematorium and funeral home suggests the real death toll is much, much higher. experts warn china could face an explosion in cases and deaths over

the coming months. and we can now speak to eric fagel dang, he's an epidemiologist based in the us. and he's falling the situation in china with great attention and concern mister fielding cove with its spreading faster than ever. in china, you say 10 percent of the world's population could be infected in the next 90 days . how is the health care system coping? thanks for having me. i. i think the issue is that china is just completely ill prepared, is wanting to have who han situation. but for this to happen in multiple cities across china, we're talking about dozens and cities and most chinese cities are double digit millions in size. i think this boats very, very poorly and you know, 800000060 percent of china. it's not even a large concern that you know, you k u s. b, we've all had over 90 percent of the people i've already been tested, so it's not out of the question. but if you do the math of the sheer numbers,

how many people in fact it may die, we're talking about over a 1000000, if not to 1000000 within just 3 to 6 months as opposed to 2 years on we've seen us . so china right now on a per capita hospital basis, hospital badges, you were hospital beds in hong kong, your hospital beds, then our most western countries because the sheer population size and we saw exactly what happened when you lift restrictions in hong kong. i think there was a clear 9 day on the list of restrictions in the spring. and hong kong had a huge, huge surgeon, mortality. china is now finally lifting restrictions and there is no rhyme or reason that it will go any better than what happened in hong kong and hong kong, and actually has more western vaccines and higher vaccination rates and mainland china. so china, i think, is in a world of hurt. so is there any way to stop the situation from completely spiraling out of control at this point?

well, i think here's the choices, like basically you have a shorter extreme lock down, which no one should want locked down. you need like the pedestals. oh, okay. in addition to testing your ventilation, you have mass and you have better vaccines. china is not using the good back see it's using for the most part order on crow back back scenes, which is not by the ones and isn't one of the weakest axis. it's not giving out in the mass. everyone does not have ventilation air disinfection standards for all the buildings in which there's a lot of gatherings if you release trying to masses shopping centers. so china has not, does not have all tools in terms of not loaded or many of the other drugs that we use in the west. so china is, you know, triple whammy in terms of not having all the mitigation needs in short going back to adding all these or going back to lockdown. china is just going to have a burn through and he's burned through for size,

and china just means millions of people died. and the official number of deaths alcove at $0.19 the restrictions were partially lifted. is that till? and the numbers of course, believe to be much higher how, how dangerous can this lack of transparency be when it comes to co it 19, not only at a national level, but also internationally. yeah. well, i know it's pretty obvious. there's more than 2 on the crematorium, have been running. 247 homes are completely jam packed up cream. so there was even report, there are 2000 bodies there are just cannot be created in weeks time there backlog by that much in the hospital beds are. these are things you cannot hide on the in terms of these mortality cases. i think china,

what will happen next i want to emphasize is not just what stays in china. it will not only spread, but also the economic impact. you know, you think you have shortages of fever, medication and antibiotics. now, we told china economy crumbles. and then the global supply chain will be even hurt, and inflation might even worse. so people should take care in my what is not in china, and the should care not just look with a shot rider. ha ha, now trying to suffering like we did know, this is a lesson for the world. we don't contain it, it will expire our control, and i have a domino effect on the rest of the world. unlike other countries, you know, the u. k comes to mind, china didn't drop all restrictions at once. where did beijing go wrong? was it just the fact that they were ill prepared for this wave of infections? could that have been averted at some point? because the euro cove, it wasn't tenable anymore,

people were going out the streets and protesting because they didn't want to be locked into their homes or their workplaces anymore. so where, where was that turn? that should have been taken differently? why? i think china should have used a more advanced fax, and you should admitted that there are a vaccine cronum back in which to me by sign back and sign a form or is ill, quit. it's one. it's well known for years already during the pendant. that's one of the weaker since the vaccines, the show use more of an issue updated. although they do have a new set of vaccines and they have the new coastal inhale, the aerosol nebulizer era. the vaccine, which is much more powerful, but the roll out is very, very slow. they don't have a balance update for vaccines for the new strains. and again, they don't have a 95 mass for all. you go around trans, mostly surgical mass, and they don't have ventilation standards. in many ways,

china's done many things in terms of locked out, but they haven't done anything besides those testing lock. you obviously needs do these other things. and i wanted to tell people who are saying, oh, we need to have just the mass infection. massey actually is not the solution. massive action will not only need to doesn't hospitalizations, but also long cobit and debilitate the entire population. the solution is not one extreme or the other solution is have multi layered mitigations, which china had dish did not invest in more of these, backed up and backed up on solutions to stop and mitigates the spread. and i think now we're seeing the end result. and i'm really sad as someone who was born in shanghai and have many families in china. i'm very sad for what is what is to come because the chinese government right now is taking a complete laissez faire attitude. akin to what the u. k and

a western europe and the u. s. has done. and it's unfortunate that having this code is over, attitude will actually in danger and pro long the pandemic. because i think the number of deaths will just climb beyond beyond measure. and i'm very, very sad for that very worrying scenario, epidemiologist, eric, final thing, thank you so much for this insights. ah, a piece fact with nature. that's how un secretary general antonio terrace describing a landmark agreement to protect the planets vital ecosystems. the deal reached at the university summit in montreal. we'll save guard some 30 percent of the world land and sees an per line crucial financing to protect biodiversity and low income countries. after 2 weeks of often bad tempered talks, the conference president, china's environment minister, announced a deal at last. bo bye. this is

a historic moment ago. yes. we are at the end of a long journey, which has taken in meetings around the world. thoughtlessly. we carried on our work, even at the height of the pandemic when it comes up. and now as i, we finally reached our destination for years on this. oh. and the deal is not before time. scientists say 1000000 of the earth's 8000000 plant and animal species are threatened with extinction. nearly $200.00 countries have committed under the so called couldn't ming montreal agreement to protect at least 30 percent of the world's land and sees safeguarding these areas and their inhabitants from pollution, desertification and the effects of climate change. and they'll be funding to

maintain bio diversity, which countries should help poorer nations, to the tune of $20000000000.00 a year? germany's environment minister welcomed the deal. the material decision puts a protective umbrella over the natural world. the threat to people and the environment from pesticides and hazardous chemicals will be huffed by $23500000000000.00 and environmentally harmful subsidies will be faced out signing the deal is one thing. putting it into practice will be a lot more difficult. the agreement is not legally binding and many of its aims are only vaguely expressed. ah, the greening capital key has come under increasing drone and missile attacks from russian forces in recent weeks. keep as far from the front line, but still experiences attacks on an almost daily basis. but despite the dangerous

keep, residents seem determined to try to live a normal life, including going to clubs and partying. as our reporter, my son found out there's no getting away from the fact that key is a city at war. but sometimes it's important to try wife here in the city continues where the poor deal, neighbor. now this may seem like your ordinary residential street, but don't let yourself before. see this truck over here. this is a massive generator that is connected to an actual club breakdown that alley club that right now is filling up with people. want to live in ordinary life via just for a couple of hours. let's have a look. the 11 pm curfew means it's an early start. to have come to party at hotel. this could be a grungy club, almost,

or in the world with advice. but it's not even 7 o'clock and it's already pretty busy. the main floor is filling up. it is a rare opportunity to dance, even if it's chilly most you're keeping their coats on. to those who have come. this is more than just a night out. but you guys that were gone. good. this is a life now. yeah. it's just the we already tired of reacting to muscles full in my mouth. city. people are already tired of the war. less pain user can at keeps us going. i feel good. i think all that i'm here, i'm and cave and i can see and hear all this. a baby. yeah. missouri and the children budget there. but then, oh, so it seems, this is

a purely part of partying and cube at the moment. just seconds ago, there was massive red going on. now there is a power cut the big generator outside soon does its work, though. and we had downstairs where there's a different by oh, oh, chris gotta wraps about the war and ukrainian identity. all the dia coordinate a make love, but not to moskowitz. that's what philosophy i will forward. it's so loud. we have to talk yeah, that i shaw was it got it. i believe that music is a powerful force that can influence not only people's moods, but also your feelings during the war. that's why you should sing when it has

really, if you need to speak must be what you need to shout, but not besides what they did not go to chad the on them of chat. yes, america azalea of zone, which other people, the other to me. i served in the military for a year, so i understand how important it is for the people that there is music that inspires them to live hours at the does. so just imagine days ago these people were shelter because the russians were attacking key with rockets and today. so they need to go out. they need to feel happy. they need to celebrate a little bit, live a little bit and to be honest, feels good. the pseudo ah, argentina is celebrating its 1st world cup victory in 36 years. so we're star. leona massey guided his team to glory with a spectacular performance in the final against france. in argentina,

there were tears and tears as hundreds of thousands poured into the streets to celebrate messy. finally lifting the trophy. oh, they came by the thousands to the capitol. the streets of one was iris a wash in a sea of blue and white and smiling faces. there were singing, cheering, dancing, and no shortage of tears. no wonder i'm 41 years old and we suffered in the 1990 championship watching this world cup with my children. it was something wonderful. oh, argentine lost to west germany in the 1990 final. the country's last world cup. when was 36 years ago, that was with football legend, diego merit donna. all laugh, i'm back. fantastic. it's the 3rd world cup i've seen, but it's really the 1st one i've had with my daughters. and we've decided to come

here because i think it's a historic moment as he gave us. yes, the game was a nail biter until the very end. when argentina dethroned former champions, france in a penalty shoot out, ah, for many in argentina and fans around the world, this game was about one man, you know, messy. the 35 year old is considered by many to be the greatest player of all time . winning almost every trophy imaginable. during his long career. now he's achieved his life goal and produced lifelong memories for thousands of argentinians along the way. ah, and journalist, i me, you is in what today i think it's safe to say is the capital of football. when aside, us, after 36 long years, argentina, finally, when the world's comp again, what does this title mean for the country? hi nicole. good evening to all of you. well,

it has been madness and is still madness. today's, in the streets of one side, it means really a lot as the report room shed because there, this title was, has been waiting for many decades 36 years after my but i made it in a final walk up lexical. and also was a very personal issue for, you know, missy also has been criticized for not achieving this long awaited tessie for so long. and this was like the scene of the last of all to see for him to do it. and finally, he cleans the title, and he at least a massive wave of celebrations in the streets of when a side is, it's a 3000000 people live living in the city and poli, the half off of them were out in the streets yesterday. most of them located in the least been to see the center of the city, which is also will be there may location from the celebration of the world to

finally some we know arrive tomorrow. we're early in the morning to like kind of celebrations all on the streets coming in of us. yeah, matthew was a national hero already before, but this title has really made an immortal in argentina has met. yeah, it was a little long discuss whether was missio mother though. now the pay in the wonderful the country. i think this discussion has a least template put an end to it. um, maybe if they told before it was like a could you say that, you know, given the country a title and having a to so many things with his gloves, mainly with barcelona. but now the images of messy of being like places in social media reproducible with the city. and she has now become like the king. she's also been waiting for so long journalist alfredo can i mean yeah, and when, as i,

as thank you so much. no, you're welcome. and this world cup was by far the most controversial in history overshadow. and my guitar is human rights record, with hundreds of migrant workers said to have died during the construction of the stadiums and the discrimination of women and minorities, especially members of the l. g b t q, community faced and could tar. most of our country as a human rights and labor rights specialist and joins us from london. now. mr. kyrie, welcome back to the day. what will this world can be remembered for the beautiful game or the ugly circumstances? but she thinks nicole full had to be on the show and congratulations to argentina on a re historic victory. well, you know, it is bit us ways, but i have to say the 1st thing that i did when i learned that argentina one, the tournament was speak to on ish, a weapon to paul, who was one of the builders of the stadium where the final was held, i met him 2 months ago when i 1st met him, he was wearing

a little messy taisha. he's probably the biggest little missy argentine a fan in the world. he was over the burn that his team won the tournament. and yet, he's one of the founders of workers. he's owed money, he's owed full $1000.00 for food, the way he did on the construction all of that stadium. so you know, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. this is the reality. the reality is that the workers who built the stadiums worked on the hotels, they would pay them money, they faced exploitation discrimination and some of them died. so you know, the woke up trophy is going to argentine of the question is can cut up when the human rights of trophy, well in some way is quite simple, which is compensate these workers give them a safe space in the country. but i think you're right, i think we have to also reflect on the fact that during the tournament, there was some very sobering images about people doing very,

very minor forms of protest. rainbow flags amazingly bright iranian and fans talking about the conditions in the country that didn't get the support that they deserve. so i think that once those celebrations died down and you know, i don't think i should die down too quickly. it's a wonderful celebration is full with the woke up that we should really be thinking about what kind of, well, what to live in. and critically conduct can still play a really positive role on human right to spite those very big concerns. you can't are certainly wanted to drown out the criticism already it or the competition of course. and then we saw the signs of protest. the one love arm band was a huge issue at the beginning of the tournament. but as the tournament advanced, it seemed like the, the sports aspect kind of took over and the critical voices were more and more drown out. did cutters plan work out? i think you said, oh, i think a one level, certainly a data in that as you say,

the football took over, but there's no reason why it shouldn't. and i, i mean in a very simple way. and that is that you know, sport and foot board. i'm a big fan for goal is one, the few spaces people have to figure about the real world to forget about all those complexities. and at the end of the day cutter and fif on that, that's the product that they're selling. at the same time, i think that there's been a lot of damage done to cutters. reputation potential so far. i don't like to think that that will lead to changes the will come now ships to north america will be hosted for his time in the united states, canada, and mexico. these are 3 countries, particularly the united states, but also mexico and canada that have quite severe human rights concerns will be monitoring that as well. so there is some positive that can come out of this, which is a faith learning from the mistakes here, making sure the human rights requirements that they put on the next post,

which does include cotton, are actually fulfilled. and when it comes to cut their, you know, it was pretty simple. i and my team are tracking down hundreds of workers. some of them still ain't got there and a face, you know, shocking abuse. we're talk about workers working in the middle of the sun. i have not been given enough literally given ice water, so they don't drink too much water and waste time of sauce. workers witnessing other dying workers being physically abused or thousands of dollars like i said. so what we will be doing is tracking down these and thousands of workers, giving those details to cut their feet for to say, you know, what? well done in terms of the spectacle over wilcox lead. now focus on these issues and deal with that address these issues because then we can actually celebrate as well . now, great job shedding lights on on this issue. thank you so much. again, was stuff a cadre human rights and labor rights specialist. thank you player. and that's our time,

but from me and the entire team here at the day. thank you so much for spending part of your day with with with be me undone, filing, the austrian physicist can actually be even if only in the world of the smallest
