Live for us in sanaa thank you very much indeed. Despite calls from the World Health Organization to stop politicizing the coronavirus pandemic the us president has once again criticized the actions of the w. H. O. Donald trump says the w. H. O. Has been unfair to the world by taking decisions that favored china on tuesday trying to threaten to cut funding to the agency while the number of deaths in the countrys hardest hit states has continued to rise new york recorded its highest single day death toll the nearly 800 fatalities more than 6200 people have died fighting over 19 in new york mike hanna is live for us in washington d. C. The numbers still very bad coming out of new york and yet we still also have this spot between the w. H. O. And the president indeed president tran continued to vent about the relationship with the deadly what and get him in particular it seems is the w. H. O. Recommendation at the end of january that International Travel should continue this just a few days after President Trump had imposed a travel ban on flights from china but President Trump making very clear that his administration is going to review the funding for the w. H. O. And he reacted angrily to the director general of the w h os comment to avoid politicize ation because that could lead to more body bags this is what President Trump had to say. Were losing more bodybags i think we would have done. And he would have been much better serving the people that hes supposed to serve if they gave a correct analysis i mean everything was i said china centric everything was going to be fine no human to human keep the borders open he wanted me to keep the borders open and close the borders despite him and that was a hard decision to make at the time were all together made a decision against the World Health Organization i cant believe hes talking about politics when you look at the relationship they have to china so china spends 42000000 we spend 450000000 and everything seems to be chinas way thats not right its not fair to us and honestly its not fair to the world. Well the secretary of state to my pump a. O. Also said that the administration is reviewing its funding off the w. H. O. But earlier in the day deborah brooks whos one of the white houses medical advises was less direct in criticism saying an organization is only as good as the data it receives and saying that the Administration Must look into the quality of the data that the w. H. O. Received from china and the timeline that it received that data as the pandemic loomed mike hanna live for us in washington d. C. Mike thanks for giving us that update preliminary data from the u. S. Indicates black americans and hispanics are dying of coronavirus at much higher rates than other americans and new yorks governor says the discrepancy in minority communities should be investigated. Lets actually get research and data that can inform us as to why are we having more people in minority communities more people in certain neighborhoods why do they have rate higher rates of infection i get the comorbidity i get the underlying me on this issue but what else is at play are more Public Workers latino and africanamerican who dont have a choice frankly but to go out there every day and drive the bus and drive the train and show up for work and wind up subjecting themselves to in this case the virus well as a similar picture in the u. K. For patients from black and ethnic minority backgrounds shot him hussein is a British Government advisor and a board member of the broadfoot fund ation trust he says migrant communities already have some of the worst Socio Economic and Health Outcomes and the government must take into account specific needs such as language and culture. One of the factors we know with south asian communities for example in the u. K. Is very many of us live in intergenerational families and that poses real risks where youve got 3 generations living in a house so and the younger generations may not feel the same pressure given the statistics and the data thats come out that coby will pose a risk to them but they certainly have this back to the rest of their family members in particularly their parents and potentially their grandparents maybe live in the same household you know there was early missed opportunities if you look at the Government Communication which we have the day the fame its always done in english and only in english and there hasnt been any translation on multi languages provision for a very mind that the u. K. Has a significant minority population and a good proportion of for them english is not their 1st language you know we also have a sizable refugee population many different language years so communications is a very important thing you know i think at this stage it seems like given the number of deaths reported i think over a 1000 the last 24 hours you know were heading somewhere towards the peak and its very important that we reinforce these messages and ensure that minority communities are educated about these risk factors as well on the coronavirus is taking a toll on economies in europe talks between in your finance ministers broke down and widened stay as they discussed a multibillion dollar rescue package that in baba has more.

U. S. Senator Bernie Sanders has ended his bid to be the democratic partys president ial nominee the vermont senators exit clears the way for former Vice President joe biden to become the partys candidate sanders told his supporters the coronavirus pandemic was a factor in his decision. I know that there may be some in our movement who disagree with this decision who would like us to fight on for the last ballot cast at the Democratic Convention i understand our position but as i see the crisis gripping the nation exacerbated by a president unwilling or unable to provide any kind of credible leadership and the work that needs to be done to protect people in this most desperate hour i cannot in good conscience continue to about the campaign they cannot win and which would interfere with the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour and officials in washington and says sanders decision is no surprise. Hes really been politically dead man walking the same since super tuesday that was really when Bernie Sanders lost momentum you remember that joe biden didnt do well in the 1st 3 contests in the caucuses in the primaries but then he came back from the political dead in South Carolina after that he immediately got the endorsement from people who to judge from clubber sure that was significant and important for him and he did very well on super tuesday it made things very very difficult for Bernie Sanders but when he talks about how he has moved the political debate in the United States theres no doubt over the last 4 years hes done exactly that people are not talking about providing some sort of universal health care in the United States they are talking about Free State College for people in the United States hes taught they are talking about income equality because of the issues that Bernie Sanders has raised now barely sanders did not give an endorsement to joe biden thats not surprising because you dont give away all your cards at the table he wants to make sure that a lot of the ideas a lot of the things that hes been talking about or form the platform of the Democratic Convention and also the democratic election platform as they move in to the president ial campaign. As the corona virus spreads across the u. S. Theres a growing Movement Towards the mail in voting ahead of novembers president ial election but as john hendren reports not everyone supports the idea. After a chaotic and dangerous day at the polls in wisconsin there is a growing call for a virus proof november election since it will probably be moving to both by mail she wants that provision in the next stimulus bill. This is the scene few want to see again wisconsin voters on tuesday gathering by the thousands to cast their ballots during a deadly Global Pandemic all belief by saying a lot of them being out here about a man and being afraid to take them in the right way with only 5 of 180 milwaukee polling stations able to open many was cons and voters including a nurse just off for shift did not get to the front of the serpentina lines to cast their ballots at all. I must say yeah but i wish i had been asked to balance that but i didnt know it was going to be obvious. Now across the u. S. Many democrats are calling for standardized mail in balloting zone nothing like wisconsins election which critics call irresponsible and undemocratic ever happens again mail ballots early balloting if in fact it turns out in places around the country they decide you cant do in person voting this is something we should be planning for now so that if its needed were ready to go in november but the move has some high profile republican critics the president of the United States among them mail ballots a very dangerous thing for this country because that cheaters trump who himself voted by mail in florida last month added on twitter it doesnt work out well for republicans. Most americans want their government to require a mail in ballot in the nov 3rd president ial election with americans in much of the world confined to their homes a Reuters Ipsos poll released this week found 79 percent of democrats and 65 percent of republicans agree with the idea. With a Republican Controlled Senate behind him the president might succeed in blocking an expansion of mail in voting that leaves the potential that if the coronavirus lingers or surges again in november the chaos of wisconsin. Could play out across the u. S. John hendren aljazeera chicago the uns chemical weapons warsong has blamed the Syrian Government for a series of deadly sarin and chlorine gas attacks against civilians are diplomatic editor james baker reports the saw good of the use of chemical weapons in syria has been long and horrific but now finally the results of a technical investigation that finds the assad regime responsible the inquiry by the International Chemical weapons body the o. P. C. W finds that the mena in hamma governorates was attacked 3 times in march 27th teen over a week long period twice the Syrian Air Force used bombs containing sarin this is the off the mark of the other occasion patients being treated for breathing difficulties after an improvised barrel bomb containing chlorine was dropped from the syrian helicopter into the hospital in the town. The report will be delivered to the u. N. Secretary general antonio good terrorists so off to such clear findings is he now prepared to directly condemn the Assad Government that secretary general his position is unchanged that any it is. Intolerable that anyone anywhere is going to go weapons and impunity for use of the. Equally an acceptable and its imperative to identify and hold those accountable who have used the chemical weapons dont you say its intolerable for anyone to do this but the o. P. C. Somebody says that the Assad Government did it will you not condemn the assam side government and why are you playing this lane game of not taking sides trying to be equal to both sides arent you leaving one very important side out of this and thats the Syrian People who have been gassed and over the last 50 years by the assad regime have been executed and talk shit. We are on the front lines with the Syrian People we have been our humanitarian colleagues have been there throughout throughout this conflict trying to support the Syrian People in their daily lives so why is the u. N. Pulling its punches well the answer is russia syrias closest ally and thats why youre unlikely to see any accountability for the attacks in this report the u. N.
