there will be healthy implications on the other side if you go too soft on the iris and on the pen demick of course then you risk crashing the health care system which will have a low impact on the. health of the population so you balance things here i think it makes sense that we do it in a somewhat different way because people culture our history are different and that means that the french the german dissuaded the russian way will be a little bit different in terms of new insights because so our respective countries history and experience. you also say the same at the economy is to a large extent driven by hope. yes i hope tracks investments are consumption but to be quite honest sounds thinking about that and i mostly dream about the day when i get out of home back to work and i jus like the simplest things right my county coffee on a terrace humming a friend you know i taking a walk and i'm certainly not thinking about investments or consumption and i am thinking that may be on hold for a while for me and there are a lot of people around b. who think the same way so where it does in

and the chinese government and make their behavior more up and demick oriented ok so we have accusations coming from china coming from the i think states and from others that china is behind this pandemic let's let's stay with this accusation that the w.h.o. is china's century where's the evidence well let's look at it let's look at the hand of it dr tender skin breezy is was former health minister a member of an oppressive regime government in ethiopia and was handpicked and lobbied for extensively by beijing for the world health organization top job incidentally he was the only head of the world health organization to not meet be a medical doctor he was china's pick he's not even a doctor he has consistently praised china and been reluctant to criticize china not only in terms of the origins of the pandemic but its handling of the data and its truthfulness to the rest of the world in lobbying for adult to his appointments that they show the china do anything that the u.s. and other other countries was doing when they were love bring for that men or women to be in charge. i'm not sure t

which would imply you just think there's a sort of conspiracy behind coronavirus and demick and so i asked a filmmaker. what is the point of your film i mean i watch the film it's 26 minutes long it has all kinds of very wild conspiracy theory stacked on top of each other and there are so many wild statements in the film that you have a hard time sorting out what the allegations are so i asked the filmmaker if he could just try and explain the point to me just help me understand his thesis and i said i said my understanding of your thesis are you saying that. this was a planned. in 1000 pandemic so that wealthy people could make money from vaccines because that's one of the themes of the film and he actually told me that he wasn't sure what his point is either i mean he told me that he's a they're still exploring what their point is this this film is just a preview of future film that's going to be coming later this summer so this is sort of a 26 minute preview and it was just surprising to me that he didn't really know whether he's exploring right now what what the film is going to

now that means that one of the places that's been most successful at combat in the coronavirus and demick won't have a seat at the table taiwan responded quickly to the outbreak and has suffered relatively few infections and deaths we have this report from taipei. no lock down of any kind despite its proximity to china taiwan is one of the few spots on earth where life has continued close to normal throughout the pandemic with only a few 100 coronavirus infections and less than 10 deaths taiwan's handling of the crisis is a unique success story all the more surprising that the w.h.o. doesn't seem to be interested in taiwan's approach the organization blocked taiwan from taking part in its annual meeting several years ago under pressure from beijing that has deprived the island of access to crucial information about the virus. we were successful yes. we do not have to pay for it was very hard like we don't have many serious cases so keep more probably teves protocols for serious cases powerlifting will taiwan we need to stop this kind of political rights and we want to hold on to the more
