At night, these army trucks bury the dead toe.

Other towns where they can be cremated, and the people trying to stop this from happening are the volunteers battling to save lives on their own town.

Bergamot alone has already had 4000 cases, with 400 deaths.

But it's not all bad news.

China has today reported that have bean no locally transmitted infections at all today for the first time since the virus was detected three months ago.

This'll woman says the situation is going in a good direction.

Not so, says President Trump, a Zafar, a cz faras, believing what they're putting out.

Now I hope it's true.

Who used his daily press conference to once again point the finger at China?

People would have known about it.

It could have stopped, been stopped in place.

It could have been stopped right where it came from China.

It could have been stopped in its tracks.

Unfortunately, they didn't decide to make it public.

The president said he would cut red tape to help develop vaccines and therapies as fast as possible, though nothing is imminent.

Earlier, I spoke to Ian Goldin, he's professor of globalization and development at the University of Oxford, and I began by asking him Was a pandemic like the Corona virus and inevitable consequence off globalization?

I'm afraid it waas We are hyper connected on the super spreaders of the goods of globalization, like major airport hubs.

Unfortunately, also the super spreaders of the bads like pandemics in the same way that met major financial centers with the super spreaders off not only financial flows that led to investment, but also the financial crisis and our cyber systems spread systemic risk to cyber viruses.

So it was inevitable.

What does history therefore tell us in wishing to combat this thing?

History tells us that we have to act cooperatively.

Pandemics are very different to other threats, like climate change or antibiotic resistance or financial crises in that they really can originate anywhere in the world.

The poorest countries, slums near airports can spread viruses around the world in a very, very a short period of time.

And that means that we need to act cooperatively.

We need a monitoring system that is global.

We need a rapid response system that's global.

We need to work on vaccines collectively.

Well, working collectively demands leadership.

Where's that gonna come from?

Well, we have two options.

We have an option that looks like the aftermath of the first World War, where we had the League of Nations and then rising protectionism and nationalism, the collapse into the gate, Great Depression on the Second World War.

Then, after the second World War, we had much better leadership.

We had the coming together with the United Nations that worked for many years after the 2008 financial crisis, we had a dramatic global response, with President George W.

Bush calling a big meeting, phoning the heads of state China responding Maur aggressively than the rest of the world, pretty put together in terms of the financial package and put together, and this time we have something very different building on the frictions of trade.

On the other tensions of recent years, we have President Trump calling this a Chinese virus.

There's no wall high enough that will keep out of pandemic or other threats.

We really need to understand that isolationism and protectionism are gonna give us an even worse threat coming forward.

What sort of world do you believe will flow from this?

Well, I very much hope that we learn the horrible lesson that we're gonna have to endure over the coming months, which is that we need to worry much more deeply about the divisions within our society.

This is going to exacerbate inequality within our societies, and it's going to exacerbate inequality around the world, and we need to worry much more about how others are doing how we work with them to overcome these threats.

I believe that if we had empowered the w h o more effectively, if we'd work more effectively on this threat, we could have prevented it.

Well, finally, this is your subject.

Do these events of the present day leave you more optimistic or pessimistic?

This is a terribly worrying moment.

It's worrying not only because of what we seeing all around us, and the scale of the threat, which I think is much greater than the 2000 and head crisis, is more like a war on dhe because we seeing every week response globally.

I'm optimistic when we see the building of communities nationally and we see that in the UK and elsewhere, that's some good can come out of it.

But it really does require that I lead a step up, not only nationally but globally to join solution.
