Headlines on aljazeera sutta world is a nasty look at looking at the realities of the global arms trade thanks for whats. Right we stumbled on the saudi arms deal the. Deal we really started to stumble on a central feature of british politics over the last 30 years harness french pound has been at the heart of many of the great world events of the past 30 years i was always peace to see him when i was Prime Minister. She considers saudi arabia as a strong friend and would be willing to support taking them with whatever they can to meet and of discussion from there on Everything Else was technical. He explained to mrs thatcher that this was a deal with saudi arabia and therefore things were done differently. They wanted 43000000000. 00 worth of weaponry that was 6000000000. 00 pounds in commission. The 1st majority of most people understand this brian. What an executive goes to bribe a foreign official he says to himself look ive taken a lot of risk to take this 5000000. 00 that im paying to the Prime Minister of x. Y. Z. He makes an arrangement with Prime Minister of x. Y. Z. Ill hand over the 5000000 but you take half of that 5000000 and you send it to the following Bank Accounts which will and good money is money i dont mind paying bribes to politicians spite of the deal the thing about politicians is that theyre very much like to. Institute spoke only more expensive. From the 1950 s. All the way through the 1970 s. The cia and the u. S. Military were engaged in covert actions throughout central med america throughout africa really throughout the world where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right Wing Military juntas funding and arming death squads like the contras in nicaragua or battalion 316. 00 and under us and there were these spate of assassinations across the globe. Individuals operating in the shadows they never having their names called are able to leverage the power of the military and the Foreign Policy apparatus for their own personal pick junie ery in. Our war on terror. Begins without cadillac but it does not in thank this very very is one on terror is a rational its like saying. A war on all war on violence a war that its nonsense you stepping into this possibility of confidential wall. Our your little kid reassuring us and we kept believing him because you dont want to think you know the Prime Minister is deceiving you in the route to a war one is nothing more serious. When really Serious Fraud office launched its investigation into all the crimes that we were covering it turned out that many of these arms deals have been forced through by tony blair personally he said 30 k. Saddam salesman when ever there was a dispute ever in government he always found the onset of the Serious Fraud office go to the brink of uncovering the secret swiss Bank Accounts by which be was from owning money to the saudi royal family the swiss said were going to notify the Bank Account Holders randolph flew to london blasts one into action. He ordered the Serious Fraud office to close down their investigation. Prince bandar said if the investigation continued they would withdraw a National Security cooperation which would lead in the words of prince bandar to blood on the streets of london. The story weve been banging away out for more than 5 years is something they really work up to it because everybody could see was a huge cover up scandal the spectacle of a british Prime Minister closing bell and a criminal investigation for reasons were you aware that your government was approving pavements to a friend of president bushs as part of British Aerospace is kate back system is that why you suspended a fraud inquiry. When tony blair started talking about National Security address thats supposed to be a card that trumps all others i dont believe the investigation is that it would have led anywhere except to the complete wreckage of a vital strategic relationship for our country in terms of fighting terrorism in terms of the middle east in terms of british interests there. So these things absolutely stunning it seems to be a very expensive way of organizing payment my own way is ok so the military equipment and now the money. Blair came to south africa specifically to lobby the b. The british weapons manufacturer one of the biggest contract on this deal. And the option that they presented was 2 and a half times more expensive than the plane that the south African Air Force actually wanted to be a nice systems real performance real advantage. As monday was about to step down from public life its successor tabel and betty made the decision to spend around 10000000000. 00 for quite scarce public resources. On this weaponry that we didnt need. Rather than provide lifesaving medication for the almost 6000000 South Africans who were then living with hiv aids. The primary reason for those deals was that around 300000000. 00 in bribes were paid to senior politicians. And sadly to the African National congress the a. N. C. My own party. I was called in by a Senior Member of the a. N. C. Is National Executive council he said to me look at hundreds this is a battle you cannot win because this money the briars we used to fund our 999 election. And almost immediately im asked to make a statement to the press that says theres nothing to investigate. Its all over. And i looked at him last said no its not. I wont be able to live with myself if i stop this investigation but at the same time im also realizing that this is the end of my political career. The heads of government of the salespeople in chief of their countries large arms contractors and this is the template used by large defense contractors around the world. Companies might be another me sort of effect to be part of a government but theyre effectively above the Law Corruption is not merely a dirty little detail on top of the arms trade its actually in a lot of cases what drives the International Arms trade many of these deals would not happen if they did not provide opportunities for personal enrichment i would be offended if i thought. We had the monopoly on corruption. To pay more for the. 3 months we made a run to run for 20 years it was a 1000000. 00 every year. As i was being dragged out right at the last 2nd im going to still fail remind everyone that this guy is a war criminal can i just say actually called the record what he said about iraq in this completely and totally untrue ive never had a discussion with them now im not suggesting that it was a phone call between gay people whove been in blair that was actually what happened was j. P. Morgan and the consortium of other banks didnt fact prop up the whole iraqi economy to the tune of about 2 and a half 1000000000 not 20000000000 other bit nervous that day then 6 months after he left office blair sammy signed by j. P. Morgan for 5000000. 00 every year i was just trying to enlighten the public that there was corruption involved and not just bad Decision Making id like to find out how this. Is to access the coolant there must be a back door in because they dont want to tear time and there was a court directly underneath the court room the player was in and it was left on not so i went through that run up 2 floors by the fire escape and then to the door of the court itself by this time my heart was pounding like a really going mad and i actually lost my courage for the moment i went and sat down in a low in a bathroom i found an gents toilet there i didnt see ring my mother and said listen im here in washington do you think i should still go when my mom said youre gone you wont get another chance and i think that i mean the man. We break out about rodanthe take you live to the white house where President Donald Trump is holding a briefing to discuss testing for the coronavirus lets us in a. Testing capacity developed by the United States the most advanced and robust testing system anywhere in the world by far this afternoon also announced new steps that were taken to make tests even more widely available to battle of virus my administration marshaled every resource at our nations disposal. Public private military economic scientific and industrial all at your disposal we launched the largest manufacturing ramp up since the 2nd world war theres been nothing like it since at the center of this industrial and scientific mobilization was the development of our corona Virus Testing capabilities in the span of just a few short months weve developed a Testing Capacity unmatched an unrivaled anywhere in the world and its not even close this is a core element of our plan to safely and gradually reopen america and were opening and were starting and theres enthusiasm like i havent seen in a long time every american should be proud of the amazing array of talent skill and enterprise our nation has brought to this challenge in 3 months the f. D. A. Has authorized more than 92 different tests and over 9000000 have been performed here in the United States 3 weeks ago we were conducting roughly 150000 tests per day now were doing approximately 300000. 00 tests per day a 100 percent increase and it will go up substantially from that number this week the United States will pass 10000000. 00 tests conducted nearly double the number of any other country were testing more people per capita than south korea the United Kingdom france japan sweden finland finland and many other countries and in some cases combined on friday the f. D. A. Authorize coronavirus antigen test and alternative Testing Technology that can be much more readily manufactured. Corporation which makes this newly authorized point of care test estimates that it will be able to manufacture 150000. 00 tests per day immediately increasing 2300000 test per day within just a few were. Ex to further expand our nations testing capabilities this afternoon i am announcing that my administration is and it weve got this all approved its all done is sending 1000000000. 00 to americas states territories and so this is all been approved weve gotten it done completed the money is going out this major investment will ensure that america continues to conduct more tests than any country on earth by far. I said from the beginning that the federal government would back up the states and help them build the testing capability and capacities and thats exactly whats happened this partnership has truly for flourished we have really had a very Good Relationship with the states and the governors and other representatives within the states a relationship like i think i can honestly say has not been seen in this country for many many years. The governors and us are working together very closely not only in testing but on ventilators where we have a capacity thats at this point virtually unlimited and were sending ventilators as you probably heard from other countries were sending many many thousands of ventilators to other countries because theyre in tremendous need and i think building up a lot of good will but much more importantly than that were saving a lot of lives most states are now doing a great job my administration located 5000 machines and 700 labs across all 50 states and governors have learned how to maximize these testing resources the federal government is also supporting states with vital supplies quick approvals of new tests and one on one coaching from the team here at the white house on how to increase capacity and increase it very quickly in recent weeks weve held multiple Conference Calls with every state as well as with d. C. And puerto rico we jointly develop testing projections and goals for each state for the month of may all together totaling 12900000. 00 tests think of that 12900000. 00 tests today im announcing that my administration will provide the collection supplies to help states meet their targets and meet them rapidly during the month of may fema and h. H. S. Will be delivering 12900000. 00 swaps to states nation what we already have them the delivery will be very quick were prepared to pay. Vied millions of additional swabs if any state is on a pastis a pass its goal and their goals are very high weve set them very high weve told them to set a very high my administration will also provide approximately 9000000. 00 transport media which are used to transfer swaps to the Lab Processing a complicated process but weve made it simple as a result of these actions every single state will be able to test more people per capita in may alone than south korea has tested in 4 months since the outbreak began this major commitment is possible because of the mess of mobilization of american industry including peered in medical products u. S. Cotton abbott labs and thermal fish some of these incredible companies produced produce rapidly for us and their products are here with us this afternoon these are all different products that were literally just developed and if you can imagine that and these are the best machines and the best equipment anywhere in the world and other countries are calling us and were trying to work as much as we can not only on ventilators but also with testing my administration also continues our tireless effort to expand testing in the most underserved communities through our partnership with the private sector leading pharmacies and retailers are now operating over 240. 00 testing sites across the country and thats in addition to all of the other sites that we have working 70 percent of these sites are located in communities with unique vulnerabilities there will be more than 300 sites by the end of this week and retailers are making plans to open up hundreds and hundreds more locations within the next 30 days these additional sites are helping us ensure access to testing in every community my administration is fighting relentlessly to protect all citizens of every color and creed from this terrible virus the invisible enemy in. Addition to vest amounts of testing supplies my administration has partnered with the private sector to coordinate the delivery of more than 90000000 and 95 masks and these are of the highest quality many are made right here in the United States a capacity we didnt have it all at the beginning 126000000 surgical masks likewise many are made here 9000000 face shields 21000000 surgical gallons 993000000 gloves and 10690 ventilators were building thousands of ventilators in numerous plants all across our country its incredible actually this Global Pandemic has inflicted great pain and hardship on our people it should have never been allowed to happen it should have been stopped at the source we mourn for every life the virus has claimed and we share the grief of all of that you whove lost a loved one and that goes worldwide to many many countries 184. 00 countries at least thanks to the courage of our citizens on our aggressive strategy hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved and we have saved and if you look at on a per 100000. 00 basis were at the best part of the pack right on the bottom germany and us are leading the world germany and the United States are leading the world lives saved per 100000 in every generation through every challenge and hardship and danger america has risen to the task we have met the moment and we have prevailed americans do whatever it takes to find solutions pioneer breakthroughs and harness the energies we need to achieve a total victory day after day were making tremendous strides with the dedication of our doctors and nurses these are incredible people these are brave people these are warriors. With the devotion of our manufacturing workers food suppliers and Lab Technicians and with the profound patriotism of the American People we will defeat this horrible enemy we will revive our economy and we will transition into great this and so a phrase youre going to hear a lot because thats whats going to happen were going into the 3rd quarter and were going to do well in the 4th quarter were going to do very good and next year i think were going to have one of the best years weve ever had because theres a tremendous pent up demand its a demand and im feeling it ive felt things a lot over my life and ive made a lot of good calls its a demand like i dont think ive ever seen this a pent up demand is there is a spirit in this country like few have seen and i think you can say and weve helped a lot of the countries a lot really a lot theres a tremendous spirit all over the world to beat this terrible terrible thing. But were transitioning to greatness and the great this is going to be in the 4th quarter but its really going to be next year and its going to be a year like weve never had before i really believe that as good as weve done and weve done great we had the best economy in the history of the world not just here but anywhere in the world you can talk china you can talk any other country we had the best economy anywhere in the world and we were going for numbers whether was unemployment numbers well we had our best numbers employment also numbers a little different where we had our best numbers almost 160000000 people all of that we had the greatest stock market numbers ever i think 142 days where we set records in a short period of time 152 days we set records in the stock market we rebuilt our military all built in the United States all of our equipment built 1. 00 trillion dollars plus. On the southern border the wall is being built its being built rapidly and now you dont hear the opponents talking too much about the border they dont like to talk about it because it seemed that we were right on a lot of things one of the things we were right about one of the many things was the border we have a very powerful border now we had one of the best weeks in the history of our border between the United States and mexico our southern border we had very few people coming in very very few almost record low numbers and the wall is being built its up to 181 miles already its being built its being built rapidly people dont talk about it anymore because its very successful in the area where the wall has built that is a lot still but we want to be up to 450 by very short period of time early next year we should be up to 450 and very shortly after that over 500 miles to be completed but its had a tremendous impact but again weve had the best numbers the last thing we want now with this pandemic is swore people to come across our southern border and again were doing record numbers meaning record low numbers so i just want to thank everybody and i want to introduce admiral who are if you could please come up and bret if you would read smith and theyre going to do a little explaining as to what weve done with regard to testing and how successful its been and then well take some questions after that thank you very much. Well thank you mr president for your leadership and for your High Expectations that really made this all come together and for the uniform support of everyone in the white house and the administration and thank you secretary a czar for providing his leadership at h. H. S. In allowing both brad and i the opportunity to work on this project i think its clear that america does lead the world in testing all go through some of the charts that show that we lead quantitatively i will also suggest that we lead in the diversity of tests which are very important to establish the testing ecosystem to keep america safe and clearly as weve said multiple times no one beats america when it comes to quality so lets start potentially with the next slide this may be hard to see but if you look at the line on top thats the total numbers of tests done by the United States no other country in the world comes close to the total numbers again as the president has said today we will top over 9000000. 00 tests and if you look at per capita everyone talks about south korea being the standard today we will have done more than twice their per capita rate of testing that was accomplished in south korea no matter how you look at it america is leading the world in testing and how did we get there so that the next slide. Next slide please a very important component of how we came to this point was the authorization by the f. D. A. Under the leadership of our secretary of many different diagnostic tests of diagnostic devices and now of tests so youve heard a lot about the different testing new system you were just listening to the u. S. President donald trump along with members of his administration who are giving a press briefing on u. S. Testing capabilities and the president was saying the day will be supporting individual states to increase the number of tests he also did say that the u. S. Will pass the 10000000 test mark inducted im not old b. This week lets bring in our White House Correspondent kimberly how kids so clearly its its all about testing kimberly. Yuval yeah its all about testing but its also about politics and winning the next election because im struggling as a reporter to figure out whats really new in all of this what this announcement about is about is amping up the testing as the United States and various states try to reopen their economies something that is not the decision of this presidency a decision of the individual governors and the congress has already allocated this money that the white house is now trumpeting its a love and 1000000000. 00 that is authorized under an act the president signed into law back in april and that allows for the scaling up of testing that is necessary for these employers to bring their employees back to work and also increase lab capacity so so far what this appears to be is the president kind of pushing back on criticism as we know hes very thin skinned he did not like the criticism in the early days in particular that there was a lack of testing in the United States and so it appears hes using this is another opportunity to say we have may have had problems but we dont anymore it in fact not only did the u. S. President say that were lives are being saved per 100000 the United States leading the way that the Testing Capacity is unrivalled around the world but also highlighting that the United States now doing 300000 tests a day this is something that then hes had his admiral jarrar whos part of the corner virus taskforce echo and so you see him going there through his series of slides sort of underscoring the president s arguments i think a lot of this has to do with the fact this is an Election Year don trumps trying to win reelection and also it has a lot to do with the fact that the president wants to set the record straight that he didnt like the negative press he was getting in the early days in terms of the lack of testing that was available and now hes pushing back it should be noted though in all of this. That the u. S. The Presumptive Democratic president ial nominee joe biden former Vice President has been criticizing also today in an op ed in the Washington Post the president s position on testing very quickly he is criticizing him saying that that sort of some iranian have pocker see that there is Testing Available for the white house and the white house staff because of course theres been a flare up here on the white house campus as a result of the latest positive case the Vice President s press secretary yet ironically there doesnt seem to be enough testing for the 330000000 americans as they are told they now have to go back to work so even as the president is making this announcement that there will be a ramping up of testing this 11000000000. 00 already approved by congress he is getting criticism not just from the media but also from the man he is separate tensional lead to face off with in november as americans go to the polls and can really while i have you with us let me ask you about the reported memo thats been sent to people in the white house who work in the white house directing everyone to wear mosques as a result of your saying the scare of the coronavirus pandemic now very close to the west wing it. Yeah well jazeera has confirmed that a memo went out in the form of an email to the west wing staff this is where the oval office is where these surrounding staffers that support the president all work this is where the Lower Press Office and the Upper Press Office that we have access to is included as well what were told is that they were informed they would now need to wear a mask this is the 1st time in the rose garden ive seen a press conference where reporters are all Wearing Masks although i can tell you even with that guidance in place as a result of the Vice President s press secretary testing positive members of the court a virus task force now going into self isolation for 2 weeks i have seen today as have other al jazeera employees seen today some of these west wing staffers still not Wearing Masks so its unclear if this is a memo that went out today that takes effect immediately or if this takes effect 24 hours from now its not clear what is clear is a memo went out there are supposed to be Wearing Masks and some still are not all right kimberly well let you go for now we will cross back to that cross conference as reporters pose questions to the president for the time being thank you very much. The director of the center for medicare and Medicaid Innovation but has really been the chief operating officer to make all of this come together brandt. Thank you admiral i want to talk through a little bit specifically the work that weve been doing with the states so as the admiral mentioned over the past few weeks weve been working with each state to set a target for their testing goal for me with over at the series of a couple of different calls weve aligned on what those goals are and as the admiral mentioned in the president mentioned they had up to over 12 point 9000000. 00 test in the month of may for every state this is greater than 2 percent of their population in the entire state being tested in may and for many states its a much higher rate and that our i want to dance around just move away from the press briefing we will cross back when the us president answers the reporters questions.

In the us its known as the happiest place on now give me land has been opened crowds back to its gates in china for the 1st time in months the government here says the corona Virus Outbreak is now under control and the shanghai theme park is the 1st in the global chain to reopen since the beginning of the Health Crisis right now here in china and shanghai take over 1000 epidemic conditions are such that we feel with the right measures in place our health and safety goes that we are able to open successfully here this is a numbers i kept at 24000 roughly 30 percent of the pox capacity temperature screenings and social once again we break away from some reports or take you live to the white house and President Donald Trump answering questions from reporters on the coronavirus the sun and the other companies you may look at this day i dont know if were ready for a while i think you know we have a lot of people at the white house and we had one basically we had one person so we had a lot of people that work here this building is shocking if you look at the numbers and its also tremendous numbers of people coming in normally you wouldnt do that but because were running a country we want to keep our country running so we have a lot of people coming in and out many of those people most of those people attest to depending on what portion of the oval office area theyre going in everybody coming into the president s office gets tested and i felt no voter ability whatsoever but the 2 people as i said and 3 people are they have been tested and its negative and theyll be probably. Out of quarantine very quickly john if i can follow up on that your staff your senior staff that you just referenced is able to get tested every day when will it be that americans across the country will be able to get tested every day as they go back to work very soon i mean really very soon as today interesting question because normally you would have said that you are not tested and you would have been you know knocking us for not getting tested so if we get tested its a problem and if we dont get tested its a problem but i like the way your question was phrased better this way because it is a positive we are tested we have great capability you look at all of these machines here theyre incredible machines that are the best anywhere in the world no no place in the world has this kind of equipment other countries are calling sophisticated countries and theyre calling lots of countries and were trying to make as much as we can available to them because theres nothing like what weve been able to do in a literally a couple of months what theyve been able to do the private sector what they how they got it done this is a 5 to 15 minute test as an example the Abbott Laboratories test these tests are highly sophisticated very quick very good this is things that didnt even exist a short while ago so we do have a great testing capability at the white house were doing it and i think generally speaking we had a call with the governors the other day generally speaking without exception they were all extremely happy with whats going on with respect to their testing what should people be told to go back to work until they have that assurance that they and their coworkers are able to get but were still not there were leaving that up to the governors as you know and if we see something wrong well call them out and well stop it but we are leaving it up to the governors some are being not aggressive enough in my opinion and some are being a little bit aggressive but theyre being very careful and the people of the country theyve learned a lot over the last 2 months theyve learned about social. Syncing and washing your hands and other things that weve all learned and talked about theyve learned about i see everybody just about everybody has a face mask on theyve learned about face banks the good in the bad by the way its not a one sided thing believe it or not but our country has learned our country has been incredible and you see the numbers are dropping very substantially the numbers are dropping around our country very very substantially so we leave that john up to the governors and i think theyre making a lot of good decisions weve had as i said a great relationship with governors democrat and republican and i think overall theyre making very good decisions. Nobody in this group. Or the ones behind the rope thats interesting please thank you mr president you said in your comments earlier we have met the moment we have prevailed. The user is the Mission Accomplished even with one point no we prevailed on testing is what a brief that was with regard to testing you never prevail when you have. 90000 people 100000 people when you have 80000 people as of today when you have this kind of death youre talking about when you have potentially millions of people throughout the world that are dying thats not prevail what im talking about is we have a great Testing Capacity now its getting even better theres nobody close to us in the world and we certainly have done a great job on testing and testing is a big is a very big important function by the way some people consider it more important than others to be honest with you but testing certainly is a very important function and we have prevailed we have the best equipment anywhere in the world ok place please go ahead there are already of propriety of reports that chinese hackers are attempting to steal Technology Related to Vaccine Research is this something youre concerned about what can you say someone else is new with china what else is dont tell me im not happy with china they should have stopped this at the source they could have stopped it right at the source so now youre telling me the hacking so i just say this steve what else is new law right so you get very closely if i can follow up sort of the South China Morning Post the beijing newspaper says that china would like to reopen negotiations on the trade deal to make the term more favorable to them is this something youd be interested in doing no not at all not even a little bit no im not interested we signed a deal i heard that too theyd like to reopen the trade talk to make it a better deal for them china has been taking advantage of the United States for many many years for decades because we had people at this position right here where im standing sitting right in that office the oval office that allowed that to happen im not interested in that lets see if they live up to the deal that they signed. Ok please go ahead. Mr president what are your thoughts about a 2nd round of direct payments to americans that included in the House Democratic bill well were talking about that with a lot of different people i want to see a payroll tax cut i want to see various things that we want i want. The workers to be taken care of but we are talking about that were negotiated with the democrats well see what happens but as i said its a transition and its a this is really going to be in my opinion well see but i think its going to be something thats going to be very special its a transition to great this and great this is next year right from the beginning i think were going to do fantastically well i view the 3rd quarter as i said as a transition quarter could be pretty good but it transition quarter toward the end of the 4th quarter youre going to see some numbers that are going to be tremendous i think and next year youre going to have potentially the kind of numbers that you saw before and maybe even better because there is that pent up demand that is you know a lot of people wanted to do things theyre ready to do things that theyve had to have hold back because so the u. S. President donald trump is taking reporter questions on the coronavirus in particular on the on the u. S. Is testing capabilities thats what hes been speaking on during this press briefing its his 1st briefing in 2 weeks and what he said is that the u. S. Has conducted the most test per capita compared to other countries and earlier on he also did announce that the government is sending 11000000000. 00 to states and territories to help with their testing lets bring in our White House Correspondent kimberly health and shes listening in kimberly on the point of 11000000000. 00 i suppose its important to note that its not new money this is money from the cares act that was pasta just last month. Yeah the president signed this money that was approved by congress is very important member of the white house cant just grab money from the american taxpayer and use it for what they Want Congress as we say here in the United States controls the Purse Strings so the white house has to ask congress for the money and they did that last month and it was passed by both chambers and then the president signed it into law so now the white house is sort of making a very big to do if you will about the fact that they already have the money approved and sort of using this as an opportunity to how what they see is as events but in terms of the Testing Capacity this was a major friction point between this white house and the media in particular but also Public Health officials who said look at if you want to reopen the economies around the United States something the president says as an issue of freedom he has criticized many governors around the United States for holding back on opening their economies you need to have widespread testing so you heard there a reporter talking about when will these tests be available every single day so that americans who have to go to work can get a test every day just like the president can the u. S. President kind of dodge that simply saying that this will happen very soon and then again Going Forward with the argument that the United States is pretty pale it prevailing in terms of testing on the global stage now the bottom line in all of this its important to note that this is all coming amidst the backdrop of one person very prominently testing here at the white house positive for the Novel Coronavirus thats the Vice President s press secretary it has led to members of the Coronavirus Task force having to self isolate for the next 2 weeks in fact 3 of those top Public Health officials are expected to testify on capitol hill on tuesday they will now be doing that by video conference. As a result of this outbreak here in the white house campus it underscores the dangers that ordinary americans face that even as happening right here inside the walls heavily guarded at the white house one more point i would like to make quickly is the fact that this theme of testing is something that the white house is continuing to press we are hearing the u. S. President is later on in the week going to go to pennsylvania one of those states hes pushing to reopen their economy a battleground state in this u. S. Election in november hell be appearing there touring a massive factory we understand as he continues to make the case its safe for americans to go back to work all right kimberly thank you very much well move away from out for a moment and tell you about the philippines because International Flights can now land in the capital again after the government reopens its airports flights were a stop last week off of the country couldnt cope with thousands of workers returning from overseas dogon reports from manila.
