Has guidance had failed to control their borders at a very crucial phase quickly unleashing the contagion around the world that was a horrible tragic mistake or perhaps they do obscure they didnt know the gravity of it but perhaps they knew because if they knew the gravity that would be an even worse offense well the u. N. Agency has responded to transcripts is then we have a call for unity when we are divided the virus exploits the cracks between us we are committed to serving the world as people and to accountability for the resources with which we are interested in due course w.

S. States by the beginning of next month and in an unprecedented move his threaten to Adjourn Congress mike hanna reports. These daily news briefings up a ported lead to keep the nation informed about the battle against a coronavirus but invariably the president strays off message and today he uses forums to rail against what he described as congregational obstruction in the confirmation of government officials and threatening to Adjourn Congress and then push through his nominations during the recess the senate should either fulfill its duty and vote on my nominees or cheat formally adjourn so that i can make recess appointments we have a tremendous number of people that have to come into government and now more so than ever before because of the virus and the problem its a threat against congress that no president has made before perhaps its never done before its never been done before nobodys even sure if it has but were going to do it we need these people here we need people for this crisis and we dont want to play anymore political games many in congress would view this as an attack against a fundamental principle on which this country is democracy is based a system of checks and balances that separates the powers of the executive the judiciary and the legislature. Its the latest in a series of actions that would appear to amount to an abuse of executive power and follows a suspension of funding to the World Health Organization that congress had already approved and the insistence that the president has the right to order states to follow the guidelines of the executive in deciding when to lift the mitigating measures President Trump says hell speak to governors before announcing new guidelines thursday making clear these involve easing up restrictions in a number of states pretty youre ready know will be opening up states some states much sooner than others and we think some of the states can actually open up before the deadline of may 1st.
