usaid is sporting identifying remain the victims and to build forensic evidence. on that note we are encouraged , with the announcement of the extraordinary method of forensic identification to deal with the disappearance crisis and look forward to expanded cooperation. in conclusion against an extraordinarily challenging landscape we see the progress to be scaled up and replicated , provided the political will and sufficient resources exist to do so. thank you for the invitation to testify. i look forward to your questions. >> thank you and we will turn to questions. i will start it by asking as i , mentioned in my opening remarks, i was taken aback to read that children are forming armed groups to defend the community in guerrero. ms. feinstein, mr. rodriguez, mr. glenn, can you provide examples of u.s. programs that have been effective to reduce violence and weakening the cartels at the local level and the rural communities? >> the merida initiative programs in terms of rural communities to focus on the ability of police to do their jobs. at the federal and sta

but just to mention this is not within usaid's mandate in mexico. is as dr. roger gets mentioned with the pop elation and migration bro of the state department. we are not engaging in that area. >> it sounds like this is more in the wheelhouse of usaid than some of the work you have been describing for the last hour. >> specifically in terms of how the u.s. government handles migration, that is primarily within prm, within the state apart its bureau. work on assignment strengthening, for exam, is not something usaid engaged in. that is something that prm does. >> you talked about the reform of the legal system or the justice system. do they have a public defender system? or indigent defense system there? >> they do. and through our work, we work of public defenders and defense attorneys at the state level primarily. >> how extensive is the system now is it nationwide? >> yes. it was part of the judicial reform pole change to the justice system in terms of presumption of innocence and rather than presumption of guilt and that has been implemented at

but i've got about a minute and 40 seconds left unless they want to say something about usaid. we are not engaging in >> that area. >> it sounds like this is more in the wheelhouse than the sum of the work you've been describing for the last hour. in terms of how they handle migration that is primarily within the state department bureau and so thebureau and so the work on the asylum strengthening isn't something they engage in. you talked about the reform of the legal system or the justice system. do they have a public defender system? >> through our work we work with other defense attorneysdefense attorneys at the state level primarily. >> how extensive is the system now is it nationwide? >> it was part of the judicial reform changed the justice system in terms of presumption of innocence and guilt and that has >> >> get them? >> under the merida initiative, we have assisted them in the form of primarily recovering the weapons so through the forensics forensics, ats is present in the embassy and it does work with the attorney general's office with the state level attorney gene

. >> state department and usaid officials testified before the subcommittee on what their agencies are doing to provide security assistance to mexico. members questioned officials on how the u.s. is working with the mexican government to combat drug and arms trafficking by cartels. the current humanitarian crisis and american citizens being killed in mexico. >> we are going to get started. the ranking member is on his way. the reason for the early evening as we have votes and people go back to the district today so i wanted to make sure that i got this started. other members will be walking in as the hearing is progressing. this hearing will call them to order amid u.s. security assistance to mexico. we will focus on evaluating the extent to which u.s. assistance under the initiative has been detected in strengthening mexico's justice sector institution combating crime. all members may have five days to submit statements, questions, strenuous materials for the record subject to the limitation of the rules i will now make an opening statement and then turn it over to the ranking member

but i've got about a minute and 40 seconds left unless they want to say something about usaid. we are not engaging in that area. >> it sounds like this is more in the wheelhouse than the sum of the work you've been describing for the last hour. in terms of how they handle migration that is primarily within the state department bureau and so thbureau and so te asylum strengthening isn't something they engage in. you talked about the reform of the legal system or the justice system. do they have a public defender system? >> through our work we work with other defense attorneydefense ae level primarily. >> how extensive is the system now is it nationwide? >> it was part of the judicial reform changed the justice system in terms of presumption of innocence and guilt and that has been implemented at every single state. that being said there are some that are more mature then are progressing more effectively than others. let me ask one more question which is there are a lot of fully automatic and semi automatic weapons traffic from the united states. does the government fund or help

usaid's role in wgdp is an operational one. it is a programmatic one. first, we manage the wgdp fund and make sure we have optimal outcomes and results and we squeeze them from every single dollar that gets invested. second, we worked relentlessly to find the most promising proposals for accelerating women's economic empowerment, provide initial funding to pilot those approaches, and then bring the best performers to scale. finally, we work to leverage our extensive field presence to advance the three fundamental pillars you heard ivanka talk about. the early returns are promising. wgdp already lifted the lives of 12 million women around the. 9 million of those were direct beneficiaries of these programs i have been referring to. in its very first year, the wgdp fund made investments across 44 itstries and amplified reach. acrossrked with partners ngos and local governments, 250 partners. at usaid alone, our department improved working conditions for more than 13 5 million working women -- than 1.5 million working women. but the numbers don't begin to t

so usaid's role in w-gdp is an operational one. it's programmatic one. first, we manage the w-gdp fund and ensure we have optimal outcomes and results, and that we squeeze them from every single dollar that gets invested. second, we worked relentlessly to identify the most promising proposals for accelerating women's economic empowerment provide initial funding to pilot those approaches, and then bring the best performers to scale. finally, we were to leverage our extensive field presence to advance each of the three fundamental pillars that gerard ivanka talk about. and the early returns are indeed promising. as you for dubya gdp has already lifted the lives of 12 million women around the world. 9 million of those were direct beneficiaries of these programs. in its very first year the dubya gdp fund has made investments across 44 countries and amplified its reach. dubya gdp has collaborated with a large group of partners, across the private sector, ngos and local governments. in fact, 250 partners. at usaid alone are programming has improved working con

is one othere aspect to usaid's role. that is working with the state department to institutionalize this. there are a lot of good ideas out there, and there have been throughout history and they tend to last just about as long as an administration. you is so closely with to be able to lock this in. make sure this framework is, in fact, a key component of american foreign policy. has the second year gets underway, i am excited about what comes next -- innovative programs, empowered women, new economic energy. really and truly, the best is yet to come. thank you. ms. trump: thank you so much. i think we have time to hear from a couple of more people if we can keep it tight here. i'm going to turn it over to our -- ourvice chairman and actor -- acting chairman and vice chairman to give us information about the new report and advisor trump mentioned. -- that advisor trump mentioned. >> we are excited to be up a part of your work. mark the importance of this effort, council published a report this morning that finds that remov

we literally could not doo this without usaid. as both secretary and mr. trump has noted we appreciate will greene, his commit and agency-wide commitment. thank you. >> thank you. good morning, everyone. it is an honor to join all of you here in morninging wgdp's first anniversary, in celebrating the progress and result that we've already seen. so, to be clear, women's economic empowerment has long been a part of usaid's work. and a new comprehensive approach. an approach involving every part of the executive branch from office to agency to missions in the field to out oval office itself. it's bringing new resources, new analytic measures and focus on barriers to prevent women from having their place at the economic table so usaid's role in wgdp is an operational one. it's a problematic one. first, we manage the fund and ensure that we have optimal outcomes and results. and we squeeze them from every single dollar that gets invested. second, we work relentlessly to identify the most promising proposals to accelerate the economic, provide initiatives to pil

this is the partnership between usaid and gavi has been very strong. we have been part of the alliance into the very beginning. the issues of equity, the underpinnings of the neck ids isgy, reaching those k very much in line with the priorities that we have in our child health program. we see that as the life s ource of immunizations. it touches on a lot of issues we are trying to engage with through usaid. when we think about trying to engage on the equity issue, that is really -- talking about reaching other partners, but really try to scale strategy and do them in a sustainable way. we talked a little bit about coronavirus, but the investments that come through immunizations and how that touches primary health care systems is very much related to what we need to do on global health security. the foundational work that has been done for a number of years, but that we help lays the foundation for addressing coronavirus and other outbreaks. the other piece i would note briefly is the life course approach to vaccination that we see in 5.0 does touch on

in usaid in partnering with gavi on this.going to the previous point, with health emergencies and others, that is the reality we are living in. and whether they be man-made or natural disasters, the normal development side is becoming a big overlap. it does mean, this point before, it does mean doing business differently. may not be able to use the same set of partners we used before and how to tail your approaches in ways to work in those settings. >> in addition to what lorraine said, it is complex and just to draw on a few things that haven't been said yet, i was once described, what it takes to get a kid vaccinated and dropped. take the kid out of school, taken to a pediatrician and get a prescription, go back to school. get the vaccines comedic of the vaccines, bring it to the house, put it in a refrigerator, take it to the pediatrician and get vaccinated. this is not vaccine hesitancy. this is vaccine inconvenience. right? as we talk about vaccine, talk about convenience, context, delivery of services. that is easy to b

if we reduce, like we, did the number of usaid officials, who is going to be around to monitor the moneywere going to spend? and you know the world bank has predicted even if there is peace, we are going to have to spend more money. if there is peace, so, who is going to be there if you quote on quote right size the embassy and right size the department of defense out there? there is nobody there to monitor. by the time an inspector, just so you know about igs, there is a limitation to us. by the time we show up on a program, it's gone. it's like the tv detective cereal, you see a white chalk outline of the body. the first line of defense is that soldier who is monitoring the contract, or monitoring the afghan government but if he comes back, because there is talk now to reduce the 8600, where are those 4000 troops coming from? are they gotten voters? or are they the people who are actually trying to answer the male and oversee how we spend the money? this building of this empire you talk about that you don't want to see, well, there is a soldier or somebody from the pentagon who was try

and i think there has been money set aside for womens' programs by usaid. but i don't know how successful that has been. we reported on that in relationship to the military, and then the defense department classified that information. so, the amount of women that were being recruited. and that was they reversed themselves, but still there's a very serious problem that even though you have set aside money for certain things in afghanistan it's not spent. we're going to have a report coming out, ma'am, on the number of buildings we built for women in the afghan military and police that are now vacant. you have to have a will on the afghan mens' side and that's the problem we're facing. >> mr. chairman may i ask another question and a request? >> of course, i do want to, without objection, order that your letter be entered into the record. >> thank you. >> and now you are recognized. >> but my question really was not more women in the military and more women in the police. my question was more women organizations be put in charge of the finances so it gets to

usaid has a regular program, the state department has a very big program on the rule of law.se kinds of assistant programs, support for technical assistance, that's of regular channel. and is supported by the congressman, and as i mentioned earlier overwhelming the congress has been passing. that is the regular channel, i figured out however, slowly and it should've probably figured this out more quickly but it became clear to me there was a small part of the u.s. policy toward ukraine that was going forward in a regular channel. the irregular channel was led by a private lawyer and probably everybody in this room knows who i'm talking about. and he was able to get the assistance -- excuse me, of well-meaning diplomats. so the irregular channel tried to have an effect on one small part of the u.s. policy toward ukraine and you all know the story, i don't have to tell it. if anybody does not know it i can refer to congressional testimony. where i laid out in great detail. but the punchline here, in the end the regular channel prevailed. in the end the regular channel reasserte

your answer, hold more hearings but the defense department and usaid, will we ask them to justify their outcome, and i quote, congress has to weigh in and say, hold it, and we want to know the truth as glory as it is. and you continue to stand by that. >> if i can, and there's one thing that i could mention there. maybe incentivize honesty. and one of the proposals i gave because i was asked to come up with proposals, put the same requirement on the government that we impose on publicly reported situations. otherwise they will indict the people involved. they have the report when there is a significant event. so put that onus, but the truth of government act that you are duty bound by statute to alert congress to significant event that could negatively impact a program or process. so incentivize honesty. >> we've got trying to get the defense department and the state department, but they have been no shows. what kind of signal to sets and representatives when they don't respond to congressional requests? >> that's a difficult for me to answer. you have to ask them. i showed up when i go

for decades usaid has helped clear mines saving lives, ploting development, and giving communities a sense of normalcy. today even though the work is not done, that aid is threatened. today even though armenia and art sock have embraced the royce angle peace proposal while azerbaijan has rejected it. art sock could lose the mining assistance. today even though armenia has transformed itself into a growing democracy, it is auto contractic azerbaijan that has received massive disproportionate increase in military aid from the united states. if the administration won't help those who stand for peace and democracy, congress must. the legacy of baku and others remind me why. we must fight for the memories of those we lost for their dreams of safety and security and for the promise of a free art sock. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from north carolina, mr. budd, for five minutes. mr. budd: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to oppose a truly radical piece of legislation that was recently introduced in this chamber. the new way forward act, as it

as the usaid funding. how much to the people that you work with rely on those agencies and the funding there? >> we are very disappointed the president's overall budget requests for development assistance and poverty fighting assistance? it was more than a 20% cut. this is been a continual pattern over the last four budgets. with the presidents requests. we were very disappointed with that. we have been very encouraged. and supported by both republicans and democrats in the congress. whoever store those cuts. in fact increaser programs over the last several years. i do want to know, there is one exception. president trump has for the full amount here for gob the. you made that out to garvey. we are very grateful for that. it was a very terrific success with them. quite a lot of other bad news. >> what do you make of this headline from cbs news? trump promises to divvy aids, but his track record leaves critics skeptical? >> and last you state of the union, in as an effort to and it may hiv/aids in the unite

guest: right, they propose cut to the state department and usaid under the proposal would be 21%, which is one of the bigger cuts he is proposing. host: one of the bigger sticking points it seems in the annual appropriation is the border wall, the funding for the border wall. what is the proposal for 2021? what happened last year, and what is the proposal for this year? guest: we are kind of seeing an interesting proposal with the border wall this time around. the president is only seeking $2 billion for wall construction, and when you talk to the white house budget office, they are kind of saying, you know, we successful in moving around federal funds, which have drawn all kinds of congressional ire over the last year. they say that they have the money that they need to build the wall, essentially, and they want to pivot to immigration enforcement, so the president's budget is also seeking increases for i.c.e., border protection, but $2 billion is a very small the $8.6 billion he was seeking last year and ultimately of course did not get. congress ended up providing him with about $1.4

not only usaid but center for disease control and then it with the priority countries and all those eligible countries but there are differences but with those relationships and then moving toward a transition and also those in the past historical relationship trying to understand over the long ter term. >> thank you very much. i have the pleasure recently from the security conference and at that time there was great interest of the coronavirus outbreak. we will get to that with the course of our discussion. with the norwegian prime minister. and across all of these activities what is the degree in which operating and preparedness innovations. and with the gates foundation. it was very impressive that those relationships have become and how central they are with the response to this new challenge. and intellectually contributes to this debate the quality of the contributions made had all of those different points in time and to shift to those challenges one that we have given focus to is disorder and insecurity. and the spread of disorder and with the low income countries that demand to be v

happen i hear what you're saying about the companies helping but will the job of ministration with usaid get involved in actually sitting supplies do you think quickly i think maybe but 1st i think it's priority is to make sure the americans and those in america get taken care of 1st and then he may be willing to do that later on i think is looking to see how far some of these supplies from other countries of help will go so far as well. and quickly hyman the editor of logical investor thank you so much thank you. well after months of investigation and even more months of feet dragging the f.c.c. has finally determined that several u.s. wireless companies were breaking the law as they collected and sold user location data that data was sold at times to data brokers who then sold it to bounty hunters the new york times had already reported on how this location data was being collected and abused by law enforcement and additional reporting by motherboard showed how the practice had even extended to the collection and sale of 911 emergency location data which is forbidden under u.s. law so

in addition, usaid to the selected countries and coordination with the world health organization. our efforts continue. we are continually engaging with host governments in the asia-pacific region to ensure they are informed of the policies and best practices to address the outbreak. we successfully encouraged beijing to assess the who mission to china and announced it is prepared to provide up to $100 million in existing funds to assist countries including china an and acted by and at rik from the virus. to content and conten continue e bilaterally through multilateral organizations. this commitment along with hundreds of millions generously donated by the private sector demonstrates strong leadership in response to the outbreak. thank you mr. chairman. i look forward to answering questions and to those of other members of the subcommittee. >> thank you mr. redfield, mr. brownley. >> thank you for the opportunity to testify. the mission has always been the safety and security of u.s. citizens at home and abroad. we have worked in a recent weeks and in hand with our colleagues fro

. >>> tonight on c-span3, a hearing with state department and usaid officials on security assistance to mexico. members of a house foreign affairs subcommittee learn about how the u.s. is working with the mexican government to combat drug and arms trafficking by cartels and the current humanitarian crisis in the country. watch the hearing tonight on c-span3 beginning at

we did not allow any usaid funding to go to programs with contact with criminals, especially anyone we consider wrongfully, a lot of analysts would say, transnational, organization, sophisticated international syndicate. these are guys without education, without a lot of chances, without a lot of high school education, very parochial and lead dismal lives. there was some rethinking about that, some doorways opened in the state department to actually put more money into those things. that is one version of a success story. there are people who want a way out. people who find themselves trapped and without a lot of options. right now the option seems to be get out of the country because the gangs have such control over the territory. el salvador has had a hard time. there are a lot of other places i have been on the global. look at world war ii, rebuilt europe with the marshall plan, the us congressman who has been working on el salvador for 30 years, we spent $5 billion destroying the country and sort of walked away. i have friends who in el salvador, a brilliant, vibrant society, beaut

usaid has a great program, state department has a good program on rule of law . those kind of assistance programs, support for technical assistance, that's the regular channel and it's supported by the congress and as i mentioned earlier overwhelmingly the congress has been passing those funds so that kind of the regular channel but i figured out slowly, i should have figured this out more quickly but it became clear to me that there was a small part of the us policy towards ukraine that was going forward in an irregular channel. and this irregular channel was the product of and led by a private lawyer. probably everybody in this room knows who i'm talking about . and he was able to get the assistance, excuse me, of a couple of well-meaning diplomats in this. you guys are good? thank you very much. so this irregular channel tried to have an effect on one small part of the us policy towards the ukraine and you all know the story, i don't have to tell the story and if anybody doesn't know it, i can refer you to some congressional testimony where i lay it out in gre

when they -- we said enough is enough and we did a bill that would direct, and you have delivered and usaidhas delivered mightily and i want to thank the vice-president for that and the president and would you speak to these groups? >> so, theres' three questions there. the last one would we work on a modified policy, yes. the continued problem and presence of tin the nineveh reg, and now the ambassadors have worked diligently on. we have had repeated promises from the iraqi governments that would move them back and allow to get to the christians and u ye yazidis in that region and in that iraq, in that nineveh region. we need an iraqi government that's prepared to defend its own sovereignty and pull back the shia militias that are controlling that region. >> i just want to say again, mr. secretary of state, please don't take from this meeting -- some of those comments i think were almost to the point where there word should have been taken down. you have been honest, straightforward and as my good friend, michael mccall said, taking out soleimani who was not in iran when he was killed. he

. $3 billion for public health emergency and state and local reimbursement from a $1 billion for usaidnd $1 billion for vaccine development. this afternoon top house republican said, it is time to put partisanship aside. >> i think it is absolutely clear as house republicans that we are going to be prepared to stand behind and support whatever resources are necessary for this to work closely with the president to work across the aisle with her democratic colleagues. and we were to urge the democratic colleagues to do the same. >> michigan democrat said president trump must take the right approach to the coronavirus. >> the president can see everything as a public relations for himself and measures every question how it might affect him. he better get over that fast were a lot of americans are going to be hurt appearance the wilco some suggest a $.5 million is too much but others suggest e president's request of $2.5 billion is too little, kevin mccarthy the republican leader likes about $4 billion for this crisis, build. >> bill: a billion here, a billion fair and real money as you kno

recognize some very positive initiatives like the one that has been -- that has been responsible, usaid, by the idp, there are many initiatives, but they are -- most of them are regional or they are being supported by the neighboring countries, but much more is needed, coming from the international community. finally, we also have to mention the destabilizing factor relating to the organized crime. venezuela is becoming a criminal economy that is part of the resilience that maduro is showing during the last months. the economy is growing. more money is into the venezuelanen economy. but most of the activities are being based on -- and that for a country like colombia, having the e.l.n. or the farq operating with impunity in venezuela, will have a very huge -- very high cost. but only for the bordering countries. also for countries in the caribbean and in central america, that are very fragile, not only to the flows of illegal immigrants, but also to the problem of organized crime. so in short, yes, venezuela is the most pressing menace that we have in our hemisphere today. >> thank you.

figure in the white house, someone who can pull levers of foreign policy for the state department, the usaid, and other departments and agencies overseas to help staunch the outbreak at its source, and also someone to reach down into hhs, department of health and human services, labor, education, elsewhere, to ensure we are prepared as properly as we can be at home. of course, vice president pence fits one of those criterion in that he is based in the white house, but you need someone that can draft memos, hop on quick turn phone calls, convene meetings at a moment's notice. as you saw today, vice president pence has to go to cpac, travel around the world, talk to foreign counterparts. he is not the kind of person should be coordinating this response. >> that's interesting. you heard the president say yesterday the reason they went from azar is that he has too many things on his plate. >> they go from someone like him to someone busier like mike pence. someone like debra burks is a step in the right direction. you have to ensure people working this day-in and day-out at the national security

joining me now for the mixed messages coming out of the white house, he's the former director of usaid's office of u.s. foreign disaster assistance. he also helped manage the 2014 ebola response. i want to start on the point that senator baldwin just made. the president today saying vaguely like we're going to have a -- we're going to have a vaccine pretty soon. that's not true and his staff had to walk it back and say, he's talking about the ebola vaccine. how much does the information coming from the white house matter to how people deal with this and how first line responders are able to prepare? >> it matters hugely. confusion is the enemy of preparedness. and so you need to have very clear, very consistent messages coming out across all levels of the administration. i think it was really concerning today from a risk communication perspective that you have different parts of the administration sending what seem to be quite different messages and sometimes in the case of, frankly, the president and his economic advisers misinformed and incorrect messages. >> i don't want to do what so

-- we don't know how much we have been protected from is the predict program, which funded to the usaidnd funded scientist to look for microbes that might be turning into pathogens and over 10 years, they found about 900 different microbes that might be doing that and were able to contain them at their source. that is a kind of program the trumpet administration also cut. i think the reason they gave is they were uncomfortable cutting cutting edge science. amy: sonia shah, thank you for being with us, science investigative journalist, author of "pandemic: tracking contagion from cholera to ebola and beyond." this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. wewe will link to heher p pce ie nation magazine that she just wrote called "think exotic animals are to blame for the coronavirus? think again." when we come back, as trump leaves india, the death toll from anti-muslim violence in new delhi has risen to at least 34. we will go to delhi. stay with us. ♪ [music break] amy: this is democracy now!, i'm amy goodman. we go now to india, where the death toll from anti-mus

one billion for usaid emerging health threat funding and one billion for nih rapid vaccine developmenttrumps president yesterday talking about this debate over whether to $.5 billion, which he announced he would like to see put toward the effort versus the $8.5 billion chuck schumer is calling for. [video clip] >> what is your response to speaker pelosi's comment that you do not know what you are talking about with the coronavirus? >> i think speaker pelosi is incompetent. she lost congress once. i think she will lose it again. she lifted my poll numbers off -- up. we are doing great. it is almost unfair if you think about it, but i think she is incompetent and not thinking about the country. instead of making a statement like that, she should be saying we have to work together because we have a big problem potentially and maybe it will be a little problem. we have to work together. instead, she wants to do this. same thing with chuck schumer, he goes out and says the president asked for $270 million. this is the first time i have ever been told we should take more. we should be workin

last fall, the state department abolished a program called predict which was designed, it was under usaid, designed to examine and indeed predict and work on global potential pandemics. that office was abolished last fall and hasn't yet been replaced although they're talking about it. i think there is, you know, just on the record a lack of preparation. i put in a bill in the last few days to create this position in the national security council as a permanent position because these kind of things are going to happen in a globalized economy and we need to be prepared not scrambling to play catch up. >> on the subject of scrambling, ken cuccinelli deputy secretary of homeland security, acting deputy, he is on the coronavirus task force, he tweeted, quote, has the johns hopkins map of the coronavirus stopped working for other people or just me? >> yeah. >> what is that telling you that someone on the coronavirus task force is complaining on twitter with i.t. problems? >> i rest my case. and also, by the way, ken, you've got the cdc which is a pretty substantial center for disease control, p

stabilization assistance throughout the region to try to lend both food and assistance to medical through usaid and try to build back some of the institution so the be capable of put into pushing back with iranians, russians and syrians are doing in this hellish place. >> ironic spires next year, our european partners committed to extending, what can we do to put pressure on china and russia to cooperate as well. >> one of the flaws of the jcpoa was your very short duration for many of the most provision, the significant provision expires in october of this year, a handful of months away, the very missiles that rained down on our american forces will be permissibly sold come october of this year. that is a big flaw in the deal. so we are working diplomatically, were hoping they will take seriously the risk that there will be chinese weapons systems, sold into iran, i'm confident they are gearing up already to deliver the weapons come october with the full authority, no un security prohibiting. we will work at the un and try to convince the russians and chinese not to veto that resolution and we

african continent we have to do it as the holy government working with the department of the state, and usaid that's just in our dna and how we operate rate every day. >> mister chairman. >> i would talk about the biggest and most important story in the world the wuhan coronavirus, this coronavirus is a catastrophe on the scale of chernobyl, for china, but actually it's probably worse temperature noble, which was localized in its effects, the coronavirus could result in a global pandemic. while you are sleeping overnight, number of diagnosed cases in china increased by 30% let me be clear that's not new cases, that is just admitted cases. it is probably several orders of magnitude higher than that. , also why you're sleeping china now has its entire border with russia closed, 2600 miles. russia has close that border. if that down travel between israel and china, air france to shut down china travel, and that's in addition to all the other countries that were already shutting down travel. from what we know so far, and there's still many unknowns, this virus could have both a long incubation, p
