correspondent mathias belinda has more from beijing indeed a new reporting method the local authorities have decided to include patients who show clear symptoms of viral monia but. not tested positively for the virus into their statistics the reason is that many patients could not be tested so far because there is a lack of laboratories and testing kids and we're also hearing cases where people have tested negative lead. despite clear symptoms that point to the corona virus infection i have spoken to some of them one woman told me that a mother who was suffering from c. was suffering severely could not be admitted into a hospital because she tested negatively twice despite her symptoms and only the 3rd test was positive so hopefully this new method of. counting will also lead to more patients having a chance at a proper treatment because they can be admitted to hospitals now it might also mean that the queues for the hospital beds will be longer and people and people will still have this sort of dr simon clockers a salad a microbiologist from the university of reading in england welcome

they don't miss chief political correspondent melinda crane is that welcome belinda what sort of reaction has there been so the jenna president's words. well we heard nancy pelosi the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives a short while ago on stage and she complimented the president on his speech and in general it must be said that those words about the u.s. followed equally frank words accusations against russia and china a sensually for the same thing for putting their own national interests 1st for undermining international institutions and transgressing international rules and norms with the german president saying that taken together what that represents is essentially a 0 sum view of the world meaning of you in which one nation's strength is another nation's weakness and he went on to say that basically all of us lose out when countries take that approach that both the weak and the strong lose because we are increasingly unable to work together to solve problems that only can be solved internationally that and he cited for example nuclear escalation and climate change as 2 ex
