Now donald trump says the number of new Coronavirus Infections in the United States is slowing the president is making the prediction despite his country marking a record 2300 deaths in just 24 hours he says restrictions could be lifted in up to 30 states in just 2 weeks time but hes also struck another threatening note as 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 used the forums to rail against what he described as congregational obstruction in the confirmation of government officials and threaten 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 should 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 thats 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 the 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. And i think that will be a very exciting time indeed the president ended the briefing with these words big day tomorrow on this day as evidence its not clear whether this is a promise or threat. Mike hanna al jazeera washington. Well trump has also doubled down on attacking the wild Health Organization hes suggesting it deliberately misled people in the alley stages of the outbreak tragically other nations put their trust in the w. H. O. And they didnt do any form of ben and you see what happened in italy you see what happened to spain you see what happened to france w. H. S. 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. Im sure 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 head of the w. H. O. Is calling for unity following trumps criticism when we are divided the virus exploits the cracks between us we are committed to serving the world his people and to accountability for the resources with which were interested in due course w. Chose performance in tackling this pundit mic will be reviewed by w 2 as Member States and the independent bodies start our employees to ensure transparency and accountability but for now our focus my focus is on stopping this virus and saving lives. And theres been more reaction in china to trumps criticism lets go to katrina you whos in beijing for us katrina the Foreign Ministry has had quite a bit to say in the last hour or so so what have we been hearing thats why it will according to the chinese Foreign Ministry they think trump is really using this isnt to shift blame away from his own mishandling of the outbreak in the u. S. And Chinese State media has chimed in very loudly in support of this weve got the global times english language newspaper here in china today using some headlines to attack trumps decision saying that it sets a horrible precedent at a time when the world really should be rolling in behind this Organization Also saying that it is shifting blame saying that trump is in fact using the World Health Organization as a scapegoat and also using this move to try to bolster his own a political his own political ambitions to really. Look at his reelection later this year when it comes to the u. S. Elections and conversely china the Chinese State media and chinas Foreign Ministry all painting themselves as a kind of leader in this global fight against the pandemic nor saying that china donated 20000000. 00 to the w. H. O. In march and that it has been sending planeloads of aid in terms of medical supplies testing kits funding and also medical teams to more than 80 countries in the past few weeks and katrina theres also been as weve been saying plenty of speculation around chinas transparency throughout this entire outbreak i mean youre on the ground then beijing talk us through all their grounds for all the criticism that weve been hearing. Definitely grounds for criticism and grounds for questions around this transparency i mean the weeks now weve been seeing seeing very lower numbers and there does seem to be a downward trend in infection cases here in china but sometimes the picture just seems a bit too rosy a bit too perfect for example we had 0 cases just the day before the on lockdown ended which many people raise as a very convenient statistic during that time but even deeper when you look at the outbreak and its origins only this year or at the end of last year the Associated Press just came out with an investigation where they unearthed a document which said which showed that the National Health commission here in china actually held a teleconference with all the provincial leaders in china and generally before teen and during this teleconference they stated really grim picture of the situation they said that this was a severe and complex situation the most severe challenge since sobs in 2003 and i quote that it was likely to develop into a major public event now those words were supposed to reach the ears of premier league changin president xi jinping and that was on january 14th but we know that president xi jinping did not alert the rest of the country and indeed the rest of the world about the severity of this outbreak until in january the 20th 6 days later and many critics and experts say that those 6 days really could have been used to really be a catalyst for more action to prevent the spread of this outbreak and by that time in those 6 days more than 3000 people were infected and potentially the virus could already reached by some experts account already reached the shores of the u. S. And europe by that time katrina you there for us in beijing thank you very much katrina.
