for the outbreak that was first reported in wuhan. ramy inocencio has more. >> reporter: good morning, beijing is angry and criticisms of the u.s. intel report are getting more shrill. washington is making up lies to further support the wuhan lab leak theory and pushback is everywhere in china, even physically with our cbs news team on the ground. covid's origin is a sensitive topic in china. these men stopped our cbs camera crew from interviewing wuhan native hai last week. we first met him in january as he dared to sue the government. his father died from covid and he has been told to shut up if journalists came calling. later, via zoom, he told us he believes wuhan is where covid began. this kind of talk is like treason against beijing's official narrative, despite the world's first known cases being reported there. >> there's a conspiracy trying to pinpoint the origin to china. >> reporter: victor gau is a long-time commentator. >> this virus existed earlier than the outbreak of wuhan in other parts of the world. including most lo

in wuhan. the cdc was also not allowed in that city when the virus was first detected there. all of this as so much interests of where it began. we want to show you an inside look of those early days in wuhan. new documentary have unprecedented access of how it felt and what it looked like many the hospital in the early fight against what was we came to know as covid-19 and whether all of this may shed a little more light of the origins in the future of this global pandemic. >> this was the last moment i can remember when life still felt normal. then, in an instant everything changed. hospitals overwhelmed. people were dying on the streets. >> i started asking questions, how are we preparing for this? i was accused of cing hysteria. >> the government was also telling us not to look. it is hard to picture how all of this may end. >> a very special guest, four-time emmy thanks for being here. the big question, what did you learn about the potential origins of the virus from your on the ground rep

specifically, now claiming that it did originate from a chinese laboratory in wuhan. what is the evidence you can point to that? i want to get the take we heard from president joe biden that this could be a possibility. i know an intelligence review was on the way for him in the next couple of weeks. are you aware of potential recommendations of the intelligence -- that the intelligence community will be making to the president of the origins of covid? rep. mccaul: my understanding is it will not be conclusive, but it will raise a possibility. that it came from the lab. there are several reasons. in my report, i treat this like a woody prosecution. we got a lot of testimony and a lot of evidence that has come forward since the last report i issued. i say this at my own risk. my party has been attacking me for this report. but it seems to me that the type of research being done at that lab was not a naturally occurring virus. they were trying to create a super sars like virus with modification, with the eye towards greeting a vaccine -- towards creating a vaccine for i

in wuhan, the chinese city where the virus was first detected in late 2019, the authorities are testing the entire population. the delta variant has brought covid back home with a vengeance. damien, what's happening there at the moment? china is really interesting at the minute. going back to the beginning of the pandemic and we know of course the first cases that appeared in wuhan, then china mobilised this response, and it's the sort of thing, when you lived in beijing, you get used to it, china can pull these massive resources and pull the levers of state power and impose these policies, being an authoritarian regime, that are very centrally directed. they closed off roads at one point. people confined to their homes, only one person in your household allowed out every three days to get food, entire cities placed under lockdown, very strict measures. that has worked, and china returned to a level of normality. what we have seen is with this new delta variant, there was a flight, it appears, from moscow into nanjing about a month ago, which brought the virus in and it appears it was a

there state department correspondent rich edson has details tonight. >> wuhan, a city of 12 million is testing all residents for the coronavirus after officials detected seven cases there the first, they say, in more than a year. >> we have decided to quickly conduct testing for all the residents in our city to comprehensively screen out confirmed cases. >> there are reports of panicked buying and a city reverting this week to the lockdowns, travel reevictions and empty streets not seen since the pandemic began there in late 2019. across the world, there is intense debate over this pandemic's beginnings in wuhan, whether it developed naturally or escaped from a government lab there. >> we need to keep this kind of digging. we need to keep the pressure up. >> this week republicans on the house foreign affairs committee issued a report arguing circumstantial evidence shows this pandemic started at the wuhan institute of virology. a conclusion china's foreign ministry calls concocted lies and distorted facts. and smears and slanders china in pursuit of political gains. republicans say

one, that it likely leaked from the lab in wuhan. there will be evidence that it was manmade without leaving a trace of modification, and there will be evidence of the potential scientific cover-up. joining me right now is pennsylvania congressman, house foreign affairs and small business community member dan meuser and, congressman, it's always a pleasure to see you. thanks very much for being here. you and your colleagues, chairman, ranking member, rather, michael mccaul out with this report today. what can you tell us? >> well, i can tell you this, that is report is highly objective. the facts are what they are. finish the evidence truly shows that the gain of function research and the vaccination or virus was created within the lab. there is no evidence of extensive -- and extensive attempts were made to find any evidence stating anything otherwise. so it's quite objective, quite clear, and it'll be important. we need cooperation from the chinese. i mean, from the ccp. they are not acting in a, in a manner that shows that this vi

we shouldn't be able to demand the records, samples of the wuhan institute of virology, especially any work carried out with any u.s. government support. so it's probably wrong to demonize doctors collins and fauci. they have to be tough and tougher on china and demanding a comprehensive investigation with full access to everything. >> martha: you hit the nail on the head. it's semantics. the definition of gain of function has change toed allow this research to continue, right? >> it's a tough one. the term "gain of function" is not well-defined. it's a new -- in a sense, a new capability. there's different definitions in different documents. that's why we need to get away from this binary conversation about was it or wasn't it gain of function. there's lots of things that we do that could in common sensuous single be called gain of function that we like. some of the work that helped make the vaccines were done by giving viruses functions that they didn't have. gain of function in common sensuous single. it's not a binary question that if we supported gain of function it's inherently w

and that was before the lockdown of wuhan. while i was there, i heard quote unquote, rumors about a virus, but immediately the chinese officials said it was a rumor. there was no virus. so, i left my son who is 3 years old with my mom and i came back to the u.s. for work trip. and it was during that time wuhan was locked down. and initially as a mother, as a daughter, that i was trying to figure out how dangerous the virus was and what was the real information, would i need to get my son out of china? and in doing that, those research, i realized there was a huge discrepancy between what the chinese government told the people and the world and what the actual reality was in wuhan. that's what compelled me to make this documentary initially. >> that's really the theme, i think. the overarching theme of the film. what was happening and what we were told was happening. there was just this universe in between there and ultimately not just in china. >> exactly. and we're seeing that in the u.s. as well. it was astonishing for me to
