With joining me for more on this story is our correspondent in so Frank Smith Frank can you tell us anything more about the health of the north Korean Leader. Well i can testify to that directly you did mention one of the reports from reuters that said that 3 medical people from china were visiting north korea that was thursday we had earlier today though a report from Hong Kong Satellite Television their vice director was said to have tweeted in china that would be able in china that kim jong un was dead that has been not corroborated by anyone certainly not from north korea and we had earlier this week c. N. N. Reporting citing an unnamed source in the u. S. Government that kim jong un was gravely ill we also have another report coming out today suggesting that kim jong un was seen Walking Around once on sometime between april 15th and april 20th so there are some mixed reports out there of boat kim jong uns health but most interesting today though is that widely tweeted message that kim jong un has passed away still all of this again is uncorroborated reporting yeah and quite conflicting as you say the reports as you mentioned have been circulating about his health for a while now why dont we have any clearer information on. Well you know i always use the example going back to when kim jong il died when kim jong il died back and in 2011 the International Community didnt find out until 2 days later north korean media made an announcement saying that they were going to make a major announcement at 12 noon of that day everybody thought what it could be then when north korea state media state television came on at noon the presenter was wearing black and you had more of an indication what had happened but we only knew when that announcer said that kim jong il was dead that he was dead and it took 2 days before we find out in this case if somethings up with kim kim jong uns health we wont know again until north korea tells us frank smith reporting for us from seoul thanks very much.

For now the coronavirus pandemic has hit the world of professional cycling particularly hard with major races canceled riders salaries cuts and stuff laid off but now the sport is taking new routes in the Virtual World where races like the digital swiss 5 providing an alternative to their real world counterparts not everyone is convinced. Per swiss alps a breathtaking setting for the prestigious tortoise waves but this year the race has been cancelled due to the coronavirus that is forced to change in thinking leading to the digital swiss 5 the 1st major bike race to go virtual from the comfort of their homes for cyclists guide their avatars over parts of the real root of the tour de Suisse Lennart care now from the german Team Bordeaux hans grower says it takes some getting used to. But on this. It was a special feeling youre looking out the window writing and here you only see your rivals on the screen. That was pretty strange and i hope we can get back to normal racing soon. Back could take a while as all major races have been canceled through the end of july this virtual race goes 26 kilometers climbing 1200 meters to the Winter Sports resort of like about the landscape is real as is the sweat but somehow it feels different. You just get on it and go full throttle the normal racing there are a lot of other factors involved and those. Can now fast behind early though and time trial World Champion rohan dennis takes the lead the australians in durance is exactly what matters here because theres no Wind Resistance in this virtual cycling world whose previous. Is more or less. Virtual racing could be a lifeline for financially strapped teams and organizers and some see its potential beyond the current crisis. Yet. In my opinion there will be something extra on offer in the very long term professional cycling will still take place on the road. But there will be opportunities to do something in the off season or for writers who arent competing on the road. You call it was 2 miles back at the digital swiss 5 rowan dennis crosses the line in like far ahead of the pack leonard can now finish is over 11 minutes behind him and there are some riders who can do as well or even better on a stationary set up than on the road with me its the other way around the world but one part of the excitement is just as present in a virtual race as in the real world at the start no one knows who will emerge victorious.
