i want to welcome commissioners carington and jung. i want to say thank you for joining the commission. i'm so glad you dedicated your time and effort to us, and your thoughtfulness. it's kind of awkward to immediate -- well, wanda, i know you, and commissioner jung, i know you. kind of weird to meet on zoom or webex, and i hope at some point in the near future, we get to meet together in person. so i just want to start, as i usually do, by talking about the federal level. i mean, obviously, everybody knows that we had an election, and that we have a new president coming in, and so it'll be interesting to see how that affects older adults and people with disabilities. right now, what we're waiting for really is to see if the legislature can manage to pass a stimulus bill because that would really be helpful, especially as we find ourselves really needing to continue to fund covid response efforts in san francisco and in california. one of the biggest issues we've had is we in das are responsible for helping to coordinate the food respo

so, jung takes her to a special customer reading group.recommends the book in which the heroine battles discrimination. >> three years ago, we followed another new movement in south korea. the entertainment district is home to a wide variety of performers. comedians sing about the latest twists and turns of current affairs. people express themselves through direct connection with an audience. this is also one of asia's most popular districts with over 150 her forma performance areas. it's sometimes called south korea's broadway. we visited the new universe theater company, who have won awards at korean music festivals. they focus on social issues and use historic events for their shows. >> the script, direction and management of the group are all handled by the leader, kim su-jung. we spoke to her online. >> kim's group had started meeting in this building for rehearsals. they pay $600 a month in rent. it wasn't easy to find such an affordable space. >> none of the group make a living by performing. they all have part-time job. yet their p

oriented as possible and that has been carried on through now and the communist revolution but kim jung-un is refusing because of his father's relationships he feels like the chinese big brother is too heavy-handed sometimes he feels he doesn't control kim jung-un but the pressure campaign that hr and his staff designed, maybe put incentives to put more pressure on kim but it was like pulling teeth in us something they wanted to do in and of itself. after so many years we realize that china and our interest don't really align. we would like them to. the only time they align is of china sees the alternative with immense pressure as something much worse than the status quo and that's a hard policy to sustain. >> we have that strategy to figure out how we use north korea to push us out of northeast asia and out of japan. monday see the nuclear and missile programs through that lens we did have some initial success with the chinese counterparts to convince them this is not in china's interest not only because it is a direct threat to countries around the world but also the fact north korea try

with those relationships of china and then president xi feels that he doesn't control kim jung-un but the pressure campaign and then to make that incentive to put more pressure on kim but and after so many years and to see if china and the interest is not really a line. we would like them to and then live with the status quo. that's a very hard policy to sustain. >> and with that career strategy and to have that north korea problems that to push them out as the first step to isolate the level of japan. and with the nuclear and missile programs. and with rephrase that chinese counterparts to say this is in china's interest. and with that nonproliferation regime also north korea hasn't met a weapon it doesn't try to sell to somebody with that herculean efforts of nikki haley that is to be enforced by china who controls 95 percent of the trade with north korea. we haven't put secondary sanctions on the chinese banks and with those flows into north korea. we have use those two authorities to be sufficient then to work with other countries to interdict in the maritime domain for example. a

and in korea that was carried on through a communist resolution but recently kim jung-un is refusing because his father's relationships with china but also just because he feels like the chinese big brother is too heavy-handed he feels like he doesn't control kim jung-un and the pressure campaign that hr and his staff designed for incentives to put more pressure on kim but it was like pulling teeth. but after so many years what we realize is china and are in on - - in their interest don't really a line. would like them to but when china sees the alternative which is immense pressure is something much worse than living with the status quo it's very hard policy to sustain. >> and with that north korea strategy in china has us strategy to figure how they can use the word korea a problem set to push us out to the arrival of japan. and then nuclear and missile programs through that lens. and you can have initial success to rebrand with chinese counterparts not only because of those around the world and also the fact that north korea has never met a weapon including the nuclear program. so

the statement from sher jung—lee — a virologist who's spent years studying forms of coronavirus — cameisation prepared to travel to the city next month to start its investigation into the origins of covid—19. but as our china correspondent john sudworth reports, the chinese authorities appear to be far less keen on scrutiny. the origins of this pandemic may well lie in the jungle covered hills of china's yunnan province. but reporting here is not easy. we're constantly followed and turned back at makeshift barriers and roadblocks. the bat populations here are known to harbour hundreds of coronaviruses, some of which can pass to humans. but it's the years of scientific research collecting those viruses in yunnan's caves that is suddenly highly sensitive. because many of the samples were taken back to this laboratory, almost 1,000 miles away, in wuhan. suggestions the virus leaked from here have so far been met with angry denials. but now the lead scientist, professor shi zhengli, when asked by the bbc whether she would welcome a formal investigation, replied by e—mail. she is correct, o

we keep hearing, professor jung, about the strain on the nhs at the moment, as we go through the secondce to the situation as we see it now? the difficulty is that we are in a perfect storm at the moment, we have increasing hospitalisations, yesterday we saw the largest single daily increase in numbers of cases. of course, we have the additional pressure on the nhs to roll out the vaccine. it really is a perfect storm. i think what we've got to remember is that the vaccines will prevent people from getting sick. the sooner we can roll those out to the most vulnerable in the population, the more protection it will give the nhs because it will stop those individuals from having to be hospitalised. i think this is why it is a bit of a catch—up process. the sooner we can get on and vaccinate the most vulnerable, and vaccinate the most vulnerable, and that is the prioritisation of different risk groups, and do that as soon as possible, then we can start to see some protection of the nhs. but it is going to take some time. and it is a bit like playing catch—up. it's not going to be easy. we a

steven jung joins us with the latest. what are you learning about this, and what mores are put in place to prevent this from happening again. >> this one local case is getting attention because this is taiwan's first locally transmitted case in months. health officials are revealing information about the woman and the pilot from new zealand who supposedly gave her the virus. the two had close contact between december 8th and 12th after this pilot flew to the u.s. in late november and returned to the island in early december. now, this pilot is now actually facing a potential fine of over $10,000 because the authorities said he failed to report his activities during the contact tracing investigation. and now health officials say they have also tracked down over 160 close contacts of this woman with over a dozen of them being placed under a home quarantine while her workplace, and other public areas have been disinfected. they also said this pilot had visited multiple public places without disclosing such information to the

. >> martha: there was data back from april 22nd and back in jung that children were not big transmittersid not suffer terribly when they did get covid. so why have we been locked on for so long, doctor? >> well, i mean, we better get our facts straight. first of all, that is totally incorrect that i refused to look at the data. i looked at all the data. and i have been saying for a considerable period of time that we should have a default position getting the children back to school or keeping them in school. so there is no difference there. and when you say locked down, you have to be careful. there are mitigation things that you do that the wearing of masks, keeping distances, avoiding congregate settings, that isn't really locking down. it is doing some fundamental basic public health measures that is certainly short of locking down. i think there is kind of a misunderstanding of people thinking that when you ask people to do some simple public health measures -- >> martha: i don't think all these businesses are misunderstanding was going on. they are not allowed to open, many of the
