Is taking another so i have a child as tensions escalate over the coronavirus pandemic the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei a blamed china for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people around the world the again accused beijing of covering up the operators because at 19 there was no true win win for the communist regime china saw then that it had an emerging Public Health crisis on its hands the new china could have prevented the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide china could have spread the world descent into Global Economic malaise their choice but instead. Instead china covered up the outbreak and hon its National Health commission ordered virus samples destroyed on january 3rd china disappeared brave chinese citizens who raised alarms it deployed its propaganda organs to denounce those who politely called for simple transparency that brings us to today 120 days on china is still refusing to share the information we need to keep people safe. Beijing had already hit back at the u. S. Saying tariffs should not be used as a weapon of the president threaten to impose them china has also criticized u. S. Claims that the pathogen originated in a. Lets cross now to our White House Correspondent kimberly help to that end kimberly about the virus originating in a laborde tree in new han the secretary of state doubled down on that claim saying that there was quite a lot of evidence what else did he have to say. Yeah he said there was evidence but of course we havent seen that evidence says the u. S. President 1st made that claim back in april that the white house had definitively seen intelligence saying that this virus originated in a lab in china even as some top members of the part of our risk task force have suggested it was national rather natural in or in origin in terms of my pump ayos comments he has not only doubled down on these claims pointing the finger at china but hes also doubled down on the president s finger pointing out of the World Health Organization saying that the World Health Organization according to its rules needs to demand an investigation of china something it says it has not done and other words what the United States position is according to the secretary of state is that much of this in terms of origin in terms of how long china knew about all of this could be resolved but the issue comes down to transparency theres an in need for an investigation and it has not yet been conducted so this is the position that the white house is pressing the latest coming from the u. S. Secretary of state john kerry that has of course playing a lot of criticism about how the Trump Administration has dealt with this a pandemic the death toll continues to rise but we should be hearing some interesting testimony next week on capitol hill what more can you tell us them.

S. President has been fond of in order to treat covert 19 its not a cure obviously but also that there was an effort to try and obtain this drug from labs and from manufacturers in india and pakistan that had not been approved by the food and Drug Administration so he is now going to testify in the house of representatives thats a body on capitol hill controlled by democrats but also we are going to hear from dr anthony found she who is one of the top Infectious Disease specialist also on the court a virus task force interestingly he is being blocked from testifying in the democrat controlled house of representatives instead he will be testifying in the u. S.
