completely so when the prime minister advised against going to pubs the sound that was fine we need people to start working from home where they possibly can and you should see the void pubs clubs theaters and other such social venues well london's liquor lovers are waking up to a new hangover free reality but for others if you need a drink you need a drink especially if you played a part in creating the man. behind this very strange change of sobering rules when you go to the cops are not. the problem you think what you think you sounds going to say like just told you not who he said before going to the pub but if i had to go to a pub i go to a bar so the p.m.'s does go to plan cheers for that one but then say use a bring up a storm online some are questioning why the prime minister's very own father is questioning his own coronavirus meshes is he wrong whereas others are saying well actually the situation has been blown up long i mean larger than proportion. what
1:18 am
creates a need for want to go to the park after consulting with my father stanley johnson we are updating our coronavirus advice from now on anyone who developed symptoms must head straight for the pub can we stop bringing stanley johnson on to the t.v. he's not an elected official and he's a danger in the current climate well we tried all day to find a single punter in london but to no avail well tonight might be a bit more fruitful at least not at this pub because there's no one here and check out this park right in the heart of london it's wine time brews a clock and not single insight on the story is no different in this pint or not exactly having a whale of a time with all of my friends hardly the world's greatest pub crawl but with a general u.k. lockdown looming it seems like pubs like this will be calling all stores anyway though it does seem that started johnson is the last man standing.

in the u.s. the number of corona virus cases has now surpassed 10000 and president donald trump has tried laying the blame at china's door he says beijing of failing to share information scale i'm open takes a look at the coronavirus pandemic is not just claiming lives it's also threatening to take down donald trump's number one boast a strong u.s. economy at this point with the stock market going while donald trump has decided to blame china if we had known about this a number of months earlier it could have been contained to that one area journal word started and certainly the world is paying a big price for what they did in the world is paying a very big price for not for not letting them come out everybody knows that trump has decided to even give the virus a new name i would like to begin by announcing some important developments in a war against the chinese virus the chinese virus that comes from china
1:20 am
that's why this kind of language has of course infuriated beijing the country's foreign minister put out a strong message for those playing the blame game. facing the pandemic nations should cooperate to bustle the coronavirus insulting others or passing on responsibility at this moment is not helpful to the epidemic control of any individual nation or the joint efforts of the international communities to curb the spread of the virus. now it's not just china disapproving of trump on this one the world health organization has asked donald trump to cut it out viruses no new borders and they don't care about your ethnicity the color of your skin or how much money you have in the bank so it's really important would be careful in the language we use less did lead to the profiling of individuals associated with the virus now for all those looking to blame china it's worth looking into their vast

1000 pandemic in iran have been seriously hampered by u.s. sanctions in them to cease observing them it is immoral to that's a bully kill innocents cuba and venezuela are both in the early stages of an outbreak now both countries are going to face huge hurdles of crippling us restrictions if the us government is going to assist other countries let's assume provide some kind of leadership role during this global crisis the 1st thing it should do is cause new home economic sanctions as the u.s. is applying against iran cuba venezuela and other. trees cause immense to state the obvious the virus does not discriminate we're all in this together so why would anyone want to inflame international tensions or inflict economic damage to a nation at a time like this trump is. as a nationalist he is trying he's always trying to drum up hostility to foreign countries especially china these days these makes a point of saying the woo ham virus or the china chinese virus rather than
1:23 am
a cold night same he's definitely trying to use this to draw international still it is china was slow in the beginning and it took a china few weeks to get it get its act together present court emphasize that trump is no one is in no position to be criticizing china because the us real 'd response so far has been chaotic haphazard there aren't enough masks there aren't enough tests i think that a one sided playing games is not only ridiculous but the worst thing possible in the current atmosphere. the democratic primary race is now down to just 2 candidates bernie sanders and joe biden that's after hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard dropped out and threw her support behind the former vice president who's emerged now as the clear front runner now after tuesday's
1:24 am
election it's clear that democratic primary voters have chosen vice president joe biden to be the person who will take on president trump in the general election so today i am suspending my presidential campaign and offering my full support to vice president joe biden in his quest to bring our country together and although i may not agree with the vice president on every issue i know that he has a good heart and he's motivated by his love for our country and the american people and shortly after the announcement joe biden thanks god for her support the congresswoman was thrust into the spotlight last year when hillary clinton accused her of being a russian asset above rejected the allegations and sued the former secretary of state with 38 year old politician entered the race for the democratic ticket in february last year and was the last woman standing we heard from professor of latin american studies danny sure who says that the primaries are being weighed down by
1:25 am
a climate of fear. that he will have to work the most thoroughly of say in are afraid to go out it will if they have children you know the old and 'd the only with their double the year free so clearly being inside a row primary is in crisis and in a sense still see garrett a woman of color who represents a columnist people hawaii thing a lot of people hopes that she would support bernie sanders who is of course the most critical incident theory was candidate so to see her fall in line with joe biden in incremental biden was clearly an establishment candidate who represents a continuation of us foreign policy was clearly very disappointing and this is bigger than just a primary this is a movement for universal how i'll cheer for a u.s. foreign policy it is diametrically opposed to we're trying to be biting in it but i mean the really close represent so this move is going to continue to fight a notch is in the electoral reading arena but more importantly historically in the
