00:08The U.S. is now formally pressing Russia for more information about the mysterious death of a worker at a
00:14plague research lab in Siberia.
00:16The State Department has issued a formal diplomatic complaint, asking Russia to be more transparent about what happened.
00:22That's according to ABC News.
00:24The 28-year-old lab worker died last week from what Russian officials have called pneumonia of unknown origin.
00:31Russia says no plague cases have been detected, and testing of people who had contact with her has not found
00:37plague or other dangerous infectious diseases.
00:39But the World Health Organization is asking Russia for more details, including about reports of a second lab employee with
00:47pneumonia of unknown origin.
00:49The WHO also wants to know what caused the first worker's severe pneumonia.
00:53President Trump told reporters Tuesday he expects to speak with Vladimir Putin soon, possibly today.
00:59Mr. President, on the plague in Russia, have you spoken with President Truman?
01:04I have a call scheduled.
01:06When is that call scheduled for?
01:07Very soon.
01:08What are the intelligence agencies saying about the Russian plague in Russia?
01:11So far, we're in very deep discussions. We'll be able to report about it probably tomorrow.
