The u. S. President is pushing back on criticism coming mostly from democrats on capitol hill as well as democratic governors suggesting that the president has not done enough to slow the spread of coronavirus the seem to irritate the president so even though there was an initially White House Briefing on the Planning Schedule he changed that schedule adding one rather abruptly so that he could push back on some of that democratic narrative the president saying that his critics are treating this much like he said they are treating the socalled well russia which he also said that they have politicized in his view his Coronavirus Response saying that at 1st they said there werent enough ventilators when he responded to that then they changed the narrative to there wasnt and off testing the u. S. President saying that in the end he believes the facts will speak for themselves well initially he says there was a projection of a loss of life in the 2000000 mark he says that that number now is more likely to still be a very disappointing 60000 but certainly he believes that his action has saved lives i also had the chance to ask the u. S. President about one of his reach sweets that he made today that some in the United States are suggesting could be stoking islamophobia the truth reads lets see if authorities enforce the social distancing orders her mosque during ramadan like they did churches during easter while the u. S. President had a response and heres what he had to say. I didnt think if i go to live that the moms would follow so id say think if you start a call with your mom so i just had a call with ministers rabbis who had a tremendous go with the faith leaders no i dont think that at all i am somebody that believes in faith. And it matters not what your faith is but our politicians seem to treat different faiths very differently and they seem to think and i dont know what happened with their country but. The Christian Faith is treated much differently than it was and i think its treated very unfairly. Now the other big headline coming out of this press conference was a comment made by dr Deborah Burkes in the current virus taskforce she searched showed a series of charts for mortality rates around the world she noted that per 100000 people the mortality rate in the United Kingdom is 21. 00 in the u. S. 11. 00 but in china it is just 0. 33 this is something the u. S. President question front of reporters as when dr Deborah Burkes remarked that she believed that this is not a credible figure this is significant because up until now only the u. S. President has been questioning really in the United States those numbers coming out of china now for the 1st time a Public Health official lending some credibility to those concerns in fact she went even further to say that she did not believe china had been truthful about the outbreak of coronavirus what she did say however was that europe had been more than transparent in terms of what they were combating in fact she believes that it may have saved american lives kimberly thanks very much secondly how could the white house. To guatemala which has suspended all flights carrying migrants being deported from the United States after a large number of the group tested positive for the virus more than 40 migrants are known to have the virus and go to mount as president says flights will be halted until the u. S. Could prove that deportees with fire is free more than 230. 00 deported migrants are now being held in mass quarantine and let states only speak to lynn for us going whos a former Deputy Assistant attorney general in charge of immigration at the u. S. Department of justice he joins us by skype from washington d. C. Well qualified to talk about this is good to have you with us what do you make of this with these migrants have been knowingly put on the plane while officials knew that they were sick well i dont know that they were knowingly put on the plane i think there are 2 buckets here theres one bucket that was put on the plane that without having ever been tested and i think thats really the problem of a lot of the detention facilities in the United States is that there is insufficient testing and then there might be another group that it might be very apparent that they have something whether the coronavirus or not and people putting them on the plane are thinking well at least theyre not in the tension facility anymore where they could make some other people say its better we just put them on the plane and accomplish that remove all the the folks in charge of the immigration right now feel that might be preferable to you that releasing them or keeping them into the tension facility but thats causing many more problems in the countries that bees in the vigils are arriving right sounds like testing needs to become monday through in the sentence does now. Absolutely but the problem is theres 2 problems with the testing one obviously its not readily available either in the United States or in a lot of places number one and number 2 is if you did a lot of testing what would you find youd probably find that a lot of people in these facilities had the coronavirus and thats something that the immigration folks right now dont want to address probably because they know that the ramifications of that would be that many of these folks would be to be released you know it is 2 things here are they were the 1st these people would be coming from remote communities theyve been go home and they may be carrying the virus or not displaying the symptoms at that point or they go into these remote communities and then that policy at all to making it guatemala the problem well correct i mean thats one of the big problems in all of this is that many countries around the world had already done what while amal is now saying theyre doing which is to not accept to remove from the United States of this moment for that reason why the malala was actually one of the latest countries to do this but what the United States has said preemptively is if you dont accept or remove those for too long a period of time theyre going to start sanctioning the countries who do that and so this is why i think what khalid did want to get it to a place where theyd be sanctioned but i have does point they have to try to protect their populace and say we dont want to accept individuals who have this virus because were even more ill prepared to handle this virus of credit the United States of course in the 2nd thing is they must also be concerned on the u. S. Side of things as to where they got the infection from in the 1st place because it must be a pocket of intense infection that. Right i mean one of the biggest problems is this you dont know way or individuals got the virus from it they got it in that tension from one of the other inmates are from one of the guards who gets to leave and come back each day and so they are more likely to be the initial sorts of the tension into the facility but the point is these facilities are so come find that theyre almost like you know any of these Nursing Homes or other types of facilities you talk about where they just bred so rapidly its very hard to keep people from getting it and so thats why theres been this surge of lawsuits to get people out of immigration detention and while there has been some progress in the courts on this there hasnt been a full fledged analysis that whether people need to be in immigration detention and really what is being accomplished by this at the moment and invesco good to get your perspective on this do appreciate it thanks very much indeed them for us to thank you but 1st it was its me then the United States and now spains death toll is post 20000. 00 reported another 565. 00 deaths on saturday the toll that continues to rise i dislike the pace and tests have also shown infection rate Health Workers in madrid celebrated when part of a makeshift hospital was closed to treating more than a 1000 patients the Prime Minister Petra Sanchez says he lost parliament to extend the state of emergency until may the 9th and more relaxed the confinement for children before that when the.
