percent of the world's population could be infected within the next 90 days. and that millions could die. i'm nicole fresh and berlin. and this is the day, ah, the explosion of case to china started long before any easing of the 0 call would polish. it pretty much do not pay enough attention to assure every place the kids with the disease was spreading intensively. because i believe the control measures in themselves were not stopping the disease in my mind as no other option . you have to lout the fires to circulate, to have to build up some, some natural images. in other words, v to the health system towards treaty people rather than isolated a also coming up the 36 year weight is finally over as argentina wind the world cup in the most controversial edition of the tournament history. barley, i cried back. fantastic. it's the 3rd world cup i've seen, but it's really the 1st one i've had with my daughters. and we've decided to come here because i think it's a historic moment as he gave us. yes. ah, welcome to the show. it's good to have you with us. we begin the day and china, which is battling a dramatic surgeon code with 19 infections as it continues to ease the tough restrictions imposed under at 0 co policy. the streets of shanghai were unusually calm. as many people continued to stay at home to avoid infection. millions of elderly people aren't fully vaccinated and remain highly vulnerable to the disease . to day authorities reported the 1st deaths from the corona virus, since the easing of restrictions began earlier this month. but many are convinced the official figures don't reflect the truth. busy crematorium and funeral home suggests the real death toll is much, much higher. experts warn china could face an explosion in cases and deaths over the coming months. and we can now speak to eric fagel dang, he's an epidemiologist based in the us. and he's following the situation in china with great attention and concern mister fy. holding a cove with its spreading faster than ever. in china, you say 10 percent of the world's population could be infected in the next 90 days . how was the health care system coping? thanks for having me. i. i think the issue is that china is just completely ill prepared, is wanting to have who han situation. but for this to happen in multiple cities across china, we're talking about dozens and cities and most chinese cities are double digit millions in size. i think this boats very, very poorly and you know, 800000060 percent of china. it's not even a large concern that you know, you k u s. b, we've all had over 90 percent of the people. i've already been packed it so it's not out of the question, but if you do the math of the sheer numbers, how many people in fact it may die, we're talking about over a 1000000, if not to 1000000 within just 3 to 6 months as opposed to 2 years on we've seen us . so china right now on a per capita hospital basis, hospital badges. you were hospital beds in hong kong, fewer hospital beds. then our most western countries because of sheer population size and we saw exactly what happened when you lift restrictions in hong kong. i think there was a clear 9 day on, on the list restrictions in the spring. and hong kong had a huge, huge surgeon, mortality. china is now finally lifting restrictions. and there is no rhyme or reason that it will go any better than what happened in hong kong and hong kong. and actually has more western vaccines and higher vaccination rates and mainland china. so china, i think, is in a world of hurt. so is there any way to stop the situation from completely spiraling out of control at this point? well, i think here's the choices, like basically you have a shorter extreme walk down, which no one should want to lock down. you need like the pedal stalls of ok. in addition, testing your ventilation, you have mass in your better vaccines. china is not using the good back see it's using for the most part. it's older on crow back back scenes, which is not by the ones. and it's not one of the weakest axis. it's not giving out in the mass. everyone does not have ventilation air infections. dangerous for all the buildings in which there's a lot of gatherings, if you release trying to masses shopping centers. so china has not, does not have all tools in terms of not, you know, with, or many of the other drugs that we use in the west. so china is, you know, triple whammy in terms of not having all mitigations in needs and sure, going back to adding all these for going back to lockdown. china is just going to have a burn through and he's burned through for size, and china just need millions of people died and the official number of deaths alcove at $0.19 the restrictions were partially lifted. is that till? and the numbers of course, believe to be much higher how, how dangerous can this lack of transparency be when it comes to call it 19, not only at a national level, but also internationally. yeah. well china, it's pretty obvious. there's more than 2 on the crematorium, have been running. 247 homes are completely jam packed creams. ones and there was a report or 2000 bodies there are just cannot be created in weeks time. they're backlog by that much in the hospital beds are. these are things you cannot hide on the, in terms of these mortality cases. i think china, what will happen next? i want to emphasize is not just what stays in china. it will not only spread, but also the economic impact. you think you have shortages of fever, medication and antibiotics. now we told china economy crumbles and then the global supply chain will be even hurts and inflation might get even worse . so people should take care my what is not in china in the should care not just look with a shot and rider ha ha, now trying the suffering like we did know, this is a lesson for the world. we don't contain it, you will spire our control, and i have a domino effect on the rest of the world. unlike other countries, you know, the u. k comes to mind, china didn't drop all restrictions at once. where did beijing go wrong? was it just the fact that they were ill prepared for this wave of infections? could that have been averted at some point? because 0 cove, it wasn't tenable anymore. people were going out to the streets and protesting because they didn't want to be locked into their homes. or their workplaces anymore . so where, where was that turn that should have been taken differently? well, i think china should have used a more advanced vaccine, should admitted that there are a vaccine corona vaccines and which made my sign back and sign a form or is ill, quit. it's one, it's well known for years already during the week or the vaccines. the shorter use more of an issue updated, although they do have a new set of back scenes on the new coastal, inhaled aerosol, nebulizer air sized vaccine, which is much more powerful. but the roll out is very slow. they don't have a balance update for vaccines for the new strains. and again, they don't have a 95 mass for all. you go around trans, mostly surgical mass, and they don't have ventilation standards. in many ways, for china's done many things. in terms of locked out, but they haven't done anything besides those testing lock. you obviously needs do these other things. and i want to tell people who are saying, oh, we need to have just the mass infection. mass infection is not the solution. massive action will not only need to just and hospitalization, but also long coded and debilitate the entire population. the solution is not one extreme or the other solution is have multi layered mitigations, which china had dish did not invest in more of these. backed up and backed up on solutions to stop and mitigates the spread. and i think now we're seeing the end result. and i'm really sad as someone who was born in shanghai and have many families in china. i'm very sad for what is what is to come because the chinese government right now is taking a complete laissez faire attitude, akin to what the u. k and a western europe and the u. s. has done. and it's unfortunate that people, having this code is over, attitude will actually in danger and pro long the pandemic because i think the number of deaths will just climb beyond beyond measure. and i'm very, very sad for that. very worrying scenario epidemiologist, eric, final thing, thank you so much for this insights. ah, a piece packed with nature, that's how un secretary general antonio terrace describing a landmark agreement to protect the planets vital ecosystems. the deal reached at the university summit in montreal, will save guards some 30 percent of the world's land, and sees an proline crucial financing to protect biodiversity and low income countries. after 2 weeks of often bad tempered talks, the conference president, china's environment minister, announced a deal at last low by. this is a historic moment ago. yes. we are at the end of a long journey, which has taken in meetings around the world thoughtlessly. we carried on our work, even at the height of the pandemic. what wonder gonzo? and now the day we finally reached our destination for yen dulness hope. oh, and the deal is not before time. scientists say 1000000 of the earth's 8000000 plant and animal species are threatened with extinction. nearly $200.00 countries have committed under the so called couldn't ming montreal agreement to protect at least 30 percent of the world's land and sees safeguarding these areas and their inhabitants from pollution, desertification and the effects of climate change. and they'll be funding to maintain bio diversity, which countries should help poorer nations, to the tune of $20000000000.00 a year? germany's environment minister welcomed the deal. the material decision puts a protective umbrella over the natural world. the threat to people and the environment from pesticides and hazardous chemicals will be huffed by $23500000000000.00 and environmentally harmful subsidies will be faced out signing the deal is one thing. putting it into practice will be a lot more difficult. the agreement is not legally binding and many of its aims are only vaguely expressed. ah, the greening capital key has come under increasing drone and missile attacks from russian forces in recent weeks. keep as far from the front line, but still experiences attacks on an almost daily basis. but despite the dangerous keep, residents seem determined to try to live a normal life, including going to clubs and partying. as our reporter, my son found out there's no getting away from the fact that he is a city at work but sometimes it's important to try white here. the city continues were in the whole deal, neighbor. now this may seem like your ordinary residential street, but don't let yourself before. see this truck over here. this is a massive generator that is connected to an actual club breakdown at alley club that right now is filling up with people. want to live in ordinary life via just for a couple of hours. let's have a look. the 11 p m curfew means it's an early start. to have come to party at hotel. this could be a grungy club, almost, or in the world with advice. but it's not even 7 o'clock and it's already pretty busy. the main floor is filling up. it is a rare opportunity to dance, even if it's chilly most you're keeping their coats on. to those who have come. this is more than just a night out. but you guys that regard and i feel good. this is our life now. it's just the we're all really tired of reacting to muscles full in my mouth. city. people are already tired of the war. less painful. music and art keeps us going. i feel good. i think all that i'm here, i'm and cave and i can see and hear all this. a baby. yeah. more towards a video, they bought it there. but then, oh, so it seems, this is the purely part of partying and cube at the moment. to see seconds ago there was massive rave going on. now there is a power cut the big generator outside soon does its work, though. and we had downstairs where there's a different by oh, chris gotta wraps about the war and ukrainian identity idea. coordinate a make love, but not to moskowitz. that's what it relies. get put back. absolutely go. hi, this is melissa brown, calling. it's so loud. we have to talk yeah, that i shar music. i think i believe that music is a powerful force that can influence not only people's mood, but also your feelings during the war. that's why you should sing when it has really, if you need to speak must be what you need to shout, but not besides what they did not get a job the on them of charter. yeah, you're somebody germond though. yeah. you also your cell phone, which on the wall, the ultimate, i served in the military for a year. so i understand how important it is for the people that there is music that inspires them to live hours at the dodger. just imagine days ago these people were shelter because the russians were attack and key with rockets. and today chris who they need to go out, they need to feel happy. they need to celebrate a little bit, live a little bit and to be honest, feels good. the pseudo ah, argentina is celebrating its 1st world cup victory in 36 years. so we're star. leona massey guided his team to glory with a spectacular performance in the final against france. in argentina, there were cheers and tears as hundreds of thousands poured into the streets to celebrate messy. finally, lifting the trophy. oh, they came by the thousands to the capitol, the streets of when i was iris, a wash in a sea of blue and white and smiling faces. there were singing, cheering, dancing, and no shortage of tears. no wonder i'm 41 years old and we suffered in the 1990 championship watching this world cup with my children. it was something wonderful. oh, argentine lost to west germany in the 1990 final, the countries the last world cup. when was 36 years ago, that was with football legend, diego marin donna all laugh and back to go fantastic. it's the 3rd world cup i've seen, but it's really the 1st one i've had with my daughters. and we've decided to come here because i think it's a historic moment as he gave us, yes, the game was a nail biter until the very end. when argentina dethroned former champions french in a penalty shoot out, ah, for many in argentina and fans around the world, this game was about one man, you know, messy. the 35 year old is considered by many to be the greatest player of all time . winning almost every trophy imaginable. during his long career. now he's achieved his life goal and produced life long memories for thousands of argentinians along the way. ah, and journalist i media is in what today i think it's safe to say is the capital of football. when aside as after 36 long years, argentina finally, when the world's comp again, what does this title mean for the country? hi nicole. good evening to all of you. well, it has been madness and he's still madness. today's the streets up on a side. it means really a lot as the report room, shad because there the title was, has been waited for many decades. 36 years after my but i made it in a final walk up mexico and also was a very personal issue for, you know, missy also has been criticized for not achieving this long awaited testing for so long. and this was like the seen as the last of all to see for him to do it. and finally, he cleans the title. and he, at least a massive wave of celebrations in the streets of when a side is, it's a 3000000 people live living in this city and poli, the half off of them were out in the streets yesterday. most of them located in the least been to see the center of the city, which is also will be there may location from the celebration of the water. finally, some we arrive tomorrow early in the morning to like kind of celebrations all on the streets coming in of us. yeah, matthew was a national hero already before, but this title has really made an immortal in argentina has met. yeah, it was little long discuss whether was messed heal mother or now the pay in the water for the country. i think this discussion has a least am polly put an end to it? um, misty, as i told before, was like a criticize but you know, give you the country a title and having a to so many things with his gloves, mainly with both a loaner. but now the images of messy of being like places in social media reproduce all over the city. and he has now become like the king. it's also been waiting for so long journalist alfredo academy. and when, as i, as thank you so much you're welcome. and this world cup was by far the most controversial in history, overshadowed my guitars, human rights record, with hundreds of migrant workers said to have died during the construction of the stadiums and the discrimination of women and minorities, especially members of the l. g q community faced and could tar most of our country as a human rights and labor rights specialist and joins us from london. now, mr. kyrie, welcome back to the day. what will this world's code be remembered for the beautiful game or the ugly circumstances? bushy thanks. nicole full had to be on his show and congratulations to argentina on a really historic victory. well, you know, it is bit of weight, but i have to say the 1st thing that i did when i learnt that argentina won the tournament, was speak to on ish, a weapon to paul, who was one of the builders of the stadium where the final was held, i met him 2 months ago when i 1st met and he was wearing a little messy taisha. he's probably the biggest little missy argentina fan in the world. he was over the moon that his team won the tournament. and yet, he's one of the thousands of workers. he's owed money, he's owed full $1000.00 for the work they did on the construction all of that stadium. so you know, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. this is a reality. the reality is that the workers who built the stadiums worked on the hotels, they wouldn't pay the money, they faced exploitation of discrimination and some of them died. so you know, the woke up trophy is going to contain the question is, can cut up when the human rights of trophy, well, in some way is quite simple, which is compensate these workers give them a safe space in the country. but i think you're right. i think we have to also reflect on the fact that during the tournament, there was some very sobering images about people doing very, very minor forms of protest. rainbow flags amazingly bright iranian and fans talking about the conditions in the country that didn't get the support that they deserve. so i think that once those celebrations died down and you know, i don't think that she didn't die down too quickly. it's a wonderful celebration now is full with the wilcox that we should really be thinking about what kind of, well, what to live in and critically conduct can still play a really positive role on human right to spite those very big concerns at qatar. certainly wanted to drown out the criticism already it or the competition is course and then we saw the signs of protest. the one love arm band was a huge issue at the beginning of the tournament. but as the tournament advanced, it seemed like the, the sports aspect kind of took over and the critical voices were more and more drown out. did cutters plan work out? i think you said no, i think on one level, certainly it did in that as you say, the football took over, but there's no reason why it shouldn't have been, as i mean in a very simple way. and that is that, you know, sport and foot board, i'm a big fan for goal is one, the few spaces people have to figure about the real world to forget about all those complexities. and at the end of the day cutter and fif on that, that's the product that they're selling. at the same time, i think that there's been a lot of damage done to others, reputation, potential sofa. i'd like to think that that will lead to changes the will come now ships to north america will be hosted for his time in the united states, canada, and mexico. these are 3 countries, particularly the united states, but also mexico and canada that have quite severe human rights concerns will be monitoring that as well. so there is some positive that can come out of this, which is that faith learning from the mistakes here, making sure the human rights requirements that they put on the next post, which does include cotton, are actually fulfilled. but when it comes to cut there, you know, it was pretty simple. i and my team are tracking down hundreds of workers. some of them still ain't got there and a face, you know, shocking abuse. we're talk about workers working in the middle of the sun. i have not been given enough literally given ice water, so they don't drink too much water and waste time of sauce. workers witnessing other dying workers being physically abused or thousands of dollars, like i said. so what we will be doing is tracking down the thousands of workers, giving those details to cut their feet for to say, you know, what? well done in terms of the spectacle over woke up. let's now focus on these issues and deal with that address these issues because then we can actually still write as well. now, great job, shedding lights and all these issues. thank you so much. again, was deaf a country human rights and labor rights specialist. thank you. later and that's our time, but from me and the entire team here
