A covert 19 and trade relations and their fathers one of hundreds of people missing during the 5 year war in yemen we talked to a family seeking answers. To the arab. Thank you for joining Us Donald Trump has triggered a double dose of controversy as a number of coronavirus cases in the u. S. A pos is one and a half 1000000 the u. S. President is threatening to make funding cuts to the World Health Organization permanent and message chemist so improvements within 30 days he accuses a body of being a puppet of china trumps ultimatum to the w h ok moments after he revealed his taking a drug that Health Experts warn could have fatal side effects. As more. President donald trump is so confident in the drug he himself dubbed a game changer against covert 19 that he himself takes one pill of hydroxy chloroquine with the zinc every morning jacket hydroxy for what went right out yeah when. A couple of weeks ago i started to get it because i think its kind of had a lot of good stories and if its not good ill tell you right doctor to get hurt but its been around for 40 years from malaria for a loop as for other things the president unsolicited admission came at the end of a winding press conference next to restaurant executives about reopening the country what do you have to lose ok what do you have to list thats despite no evidence of the drug working to prevent infection and own food and Drug Administration warning against using hydroxy chloroquine to treat coated outside of an Emergency Hospital setting a leading government immunologist testified before Congress Last week that he was demoted after doubting hydroxy clore whens efficacies we also knew that there were potential safety risks or clerk when they cause an irregular heart irregular heart rhythms and even in some cases a greater portion of u. S. Military veterans who took the drug to treat cope with 19 did die according to a government study as compared to fellow covert patients who did not take hydroxy chloroquine and 2 larger studies from new york found the drugs offered no significant benefit to hospitalized patients trump said his faith in hydroxy clore when comes from anecdotes that make their way to the oval office. I get a lot of positive calls about it the American Medical Association says it strongly opposes the non f. D. A. Approved use of hydroxy cork when without careful consultation with ones doctor trump says he has the white House Doctors approval he says he asked for it himself heidi joe castro aljazeera washington. As we mentioned trump has threatened to pull World Health Organization funding permanently after it was frozen last month that means w. H. O. Would lose its largest single contributor the u. S. Giving 400000000 dollars last year or the threat in a letter to the head of the organization which he posted on twitter the 4 page document boils down to 3 points accusing the w. H. O. Of mistakes and inaction he wrote it is clear the repeated missteps by you enjoy organisation in responding to the pandemic have been extremely costly for the world he also accuse officials of backing china writing the only way forward for the World Health Organization is if it can actually demonstrate independence from china he ended the letter demanding major changes of the Organization Trump wrote if the World Health Organization does not commit to major substantiative improvements within the next 30 days made my temporary freeze of United States funding to the w. H. O. Organization permanent and the u. S. President s not shying away from criticism of china he accuses of the accuses beijing of partly being responsible for the w. H. O. Of the actions but i think theyve done a. Very see the list period of time. And again the United States pays them 450000000. 00 a year china pays them 38000000000. 00 a year and theyre a puppet of jonah. China centric to put it nicer but theyre a puppet of jonah and in the past china has reacted to the letter saying the u. S. Is trying to shift the blame of its own incompetent response to coronavirus between e. U. Is in beijing joins us now live that response coming from the Chinese Foreign ministry katrina. Thats right this afternoon chinas Foreign Ministry have tried to paint the us as a rogue states not abiding by the rules of the International Community as you mentioned theyve really attacked the u. S. For this letter back to donald trump saying that its the obligation of ever every member state of the World Health Assembly to pay their assessed contribution on time and in a fall and also saying that the u. S. Is simply politicizing the World Health Organizations relationship with china in order to divert blame away from its own mishandling of the crisis back home another interesting comment it was made by chinas Foreign Ministry this afternoon is that while it welcomes a comprehensive review by the World Health Organization into the origins of curve of 19 it also said that it would be disastrous for this review to be undertaken at a time when the panic when the pandemic is still now not in control so really in a way its kind of trying to really delay the timing of this review and in a sense kick the can down the road and chinas relationship with the u. S. Has historically low no doubt katrina how is this being interpreted in beijing. Well many analysts that ive spoken to here in beijing say that they do feel that china and the u. S. Have entered a new cold war and have been brought closer to confrontation in the 2 countries have been in the last few decades and its not just about the coronavirus although that seems to really be pushing the relationship the bilateral relationship to the brink the u. S. Has made an attack on china multiple fronts they have multiple complaints in recent weeks theyve intensified sanctions against chinese tech giant quali banning the sale of u. S. Chips another technology. To huawei in for its use in smartphones and other networks its also curtailed and limited the amount of journalist visas for chinese journalists in the u. S. And at the same time donald trump has made threats to raise tariffs on chinese goods exported to the u. S. And encourage companies to further decouple those 2 economies and because of this we are seeing this relationship at an all time low as some analysts saying at its lowest point since the founding of the relationship in the 1970 s. Thank you very much for that katrina you live for us safe from beijing. Ties between china and australia are also under growing strain after beijing impose tariffs center suspended imports of australian agriculture products its being seen as a retaliation for surliest push for a global investigation into the origins of call that 19 make a gauge reports from a farming town in the state of New South Wales. The panics of return to green on this farm in regional New South Wales which if henderson looks after 550. 00 angus cattle recent rain brought. Drought but the multibillion dollar cattle industry is now in the middle of an installation trade dispute between australia and china putting thousands of jobs at risk this run a certain. Things considerably plant crops up to the future and we dont need any potential like this to sort of put the brakes on that china has suspended beef imports from 4 of destroying these major rabbits was but its being seen by some analysts as china using tried to punish a strong leader for pushing for a global inquiry into the origins. Of the back of droughts and floods and far as what we need in rural and regional australia at the moment is investment certainty and where there are reasons in markets like china that is not a good thing for farmers as well as disrupting the cattle industry china is also threatening to impose tariffs of up to 80 percent australian bali imports some farmers have stopped going to to the. Beijing followed through with that threat on monday thank you flea putting in into israeli is bali trade with china ripping hundreds of millions of dollars from the industry china is no longer a rising power its a reason power and what we know of superpowers is that they are their wealth to try and influence other countries to do their bidding and i think we will see china. Doing more of that in the future relations between the 2 nations have been under strain well before coded 19 overall a geisha in chinese interference in australian politics but china is biggest trade partner the question is how to strike a balance between business and standing up to one of the worlds biggest economies gauge aljazeera in the town of kook world.

The Building Permits and just little normal life so that israel has done exactly the opposite totally willingly and to as an example of a brother situation existing all over.

Returning now to the Coronavirus Crisis in france and germany are proposing a relief fund of over 500540000000000. 00 to help recover from the pandemic their leaders held a Video Conference to discuss the initiative on monday a proposal suggests members borrow the funds together as a group have been differences in europe over how to push forward with an economic relief. From paris. Where the leaders of france and germany say that the aim of this 545000000000 Dollar Recovery Fund is to try and help revive certain economic sectors in the European Union certain Member States countries regions that have been particularly badly affected by the coronavirus pandemic now the idea is that this money would be bored of the International Markets now both Emmanuel Mark crawl and Angela Merkel said that it was absolutely fundamental that the European Union come together at this time and show solidarity with some Member States that have really struggled over the past weeks and months and will continue to do so in the future because of course the coronavirus pandemic is a far from over in many ways even though we have seen the numbers of infections and cases drop over the past few days in some European Countries well this initiative has been welcomed by the heads in the of the e.

Half of chiles 50 Members Senate have been placed in quarantine because of fears of coronavirus this comes as demonstrators fought with police in one of the capital sports neighborhoods 105 a citywide lockdown to demand food and other vital supplies a lot americans in lucy and Human Resource from santiago. Angry residents of the community in some towel have begun by blocking streets and screaming were hungry riot police tried to dispel the crowd with water cannon in tear gas but they refused to budge and responded with rocks and sticks seems reminiscent of the social upheaval that brought chile for months until the coronavirus pandemic saw the pause button hit on protests. A bosc is a poor and overcrowded municipality where the majority struggled to make enough to survive even before they were ordered into total quarantine in mid april a full month before the entire capital was locked down on friday people say theyre not against the quarantine just starvation was just get out of here you know this woman that police. This was exactly what many predicted might happen in the face of the widespread unemployment and growing hardships brought on by confinement and a deepening recession. The night before president Sebastian Pinera had announced a plan to distribute 2500000 boxes of food and cleaning products for the needy across the country less than 24 hours later he rushed to address the nation again appealing for patience and understanding seem to execute them in the process of preparing and distributing these boxes demands a tremendous logistical effort and need some time we understand the urgency for many so we are working tirelessly to start distribution by the end of this week or the beginning of next week. With the 10s of thousands of chileans who have been left with nothing next week may seem like a lifetime away this latest protest shows that many chileans have already run out of patience and the biggest fear is that this incident could well snowball into far more widespread protests that could be even more difficult to control than chiles earlier social explosion you see on human aljazeera sent the out.
