A devastating impact on Indigenous People well beyond the immediate threat to their health. By wayne hay reporting from new zealand where there is excitement about the return of professional rugby but well tell you why the reserve real concern about the future of the sport here. Thank you very much for joining us china is accusing the United States of avoiding responsibility and shifting the blame for mishandling the Coronavirus Crisis after President Trump threatened to permanently hold funding to the World Health Organization that means the w. H. O. Would lose its largest single contributor the us gave 400000000 dollars last year. The threat in a letter to the head of the w. H. O. Which he then posted on twitter in its he accused the w. H. O. Of mistakes and not action 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 right saying the only way forward for the World Health Organization is if it can actually demonstrate independent. He ended the letter demanding major changes of the Organization Trump wrote if the World Health Organization does not commit to major substantive improvements within the next 30 days make my temporary freeze of United States funding to the World Health Organization permanent and the us president is accusing beijing of being partly responsible for the w h os actions and 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. Jonah centric to put it nicer but theyre a puppet of jonah for more on chinas reaction has katrina you in beijing Chinas Foreign Ministry has responded to trumps letter by painting the us as a rogue state that is not abiding by the rules of the International Community it says that its the obligation of every World Health Organization member state to pay their contribution in full and on time it also says that the Trump Administration is trying to mislead the public about china while politicizing its relationship with the World Health Organization saying that its simply trying to divert attention away from its or mishandling of the crisis back home another interesting point raised by the Foreign Ministry during Tuesdays Press Briefing is that it raised this question of this independent review and when this independent review by the World Health Organization will take place now the Foreign Ministry spokesperson jolly jan said that it would be disastrous for this review to take place before the pandemic was under control so though it seems that china is committed to this review its trying to kick the can down the road and terms of when its actually going to take place. And the dispute involving the w. H. O. China and the u. S. Has taken place as the world how the semblance of nations is due to vote on having an independent inquiry into the worlds Coronavirus Response from on this threat speak to assad big in london for us so 1st of all last night was the w. H. O. Had to say about the accusations made against him by the us well these accusations are nothing new the been the directed at their behavior for a while but its not very clear what donald trump wants the show to do what does it what changes does he want them to make in the next 30 days that some of these allegations are that the double hey joe was slow in warning of the risk of human to human transmission role the debate joe says they issued technical guidance in early january warning of exactly that human to human transmission the other allegation is that the behavior was slow in examining chinese transparency well the didnt behave joe say that they declared the pandemic the coronavirus a an International Risk a day before the u. S. Administration put a partial ban on flights from china and the other thing is that some people say that the administration the u. S. Administration already had the who in this sites in early february that ministrations suggested cutting the whos funding but harvest part of a 3000000000 cut us cut to Global Health funding so this has just been an excuse for the u. S. Administration and were expecting a vote later on an inquiry and that ongoing Virtual Meeting do we have a sense how countries are going to be voting on this. Well the director general of the who yesterday said he supported an inquiry an investigation china supports an investigation although the timing of it they want it to be later and we have over 120. 00 countries that are supporting this resolution thats been put forward now when this resolution was 1st suggested it was suggested by a stray that had upset china they thought they had been directed at them that its been put forward by the European Union and it did and it calls for an independent impartial and comprehensive investigation in terms of the response looking at the response to the kroner virus or whats also important is is that includes texas looking at the origins of the virus now if the who can decide in the timeframe for this investigation it may be enough for the trumpet Mr Administration to say yes that theyre back on board but again nobody exactly knows what donald trump is looking looking for and what he wants the World Health Organization to do thank you for that aside big lie for a c. In london now along with his threat to the w. H. O. President added another dose of controversy saying his taking an antimalarial drug and Health Experts one could have fatal side effects how does the castro has 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 zinc every morning object and hydroxy driver went right have a. Couple of weeks ago 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 heard 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 clora whens efficacy 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 death 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 it comes from anecdotes that make their way to the oval office has by advocates 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.

The u. S. Postal service in desperate need of emergency funding is reported to be reviewing its Package Delivery fees present donald trump has long said it should charge Companies Like amazon far more about amazons owner jeff bezos also owns the Washington Post long a focus of the tax she has written see reports. The Trump Administration has made no secret of its wish to privatized the United StatesPostal Service or u. S. P. S. And wall street has long coveted the u. S. P. S. Is profitable Revenue Streams now there are suspicions about the pandemic may finally provide them with an opportunity to act its needed in a science of wall street knows it would like the profit from what we call the public commons in the public good of a Postal Service for decades and decades but its intensifying under this current president. The u. S. P. S. Receives no taxpayer funding and without an emergency 89000000000. 00 bailout it says it will be forced to cease operations in a matter of months by comparison the u. S. Is private Airlines Just received a 50 1000000000. 00 bailout package mail has increased but personal and marketing mail has dropped significantly those against the bailout argue that the u. S. P. S. Had been in financial trouble well before the spread of covert 19 due to the rise of email among other factors and it is true last year the u. S. P. S. Is net loss was around 8000000000. 00 but theres a clear reason why the Postal Service is losing so much money in 2006 Congress Mandated that the u. S. P. S. Set aside 72000000000. 00 to cover the healthcare costs of retired postal workers 75 years into the future this isnt a requirement for any other u. S. Entity government or privately held the u. S. P. S. Makes a loss when you include that mandate but without it the u. S. P. S. Would have been able to report operating profits since 2030 mm 10000000000. 00 has already been approved by congress to help the u. S. P. S. But its being held back by treasury secretary Steven Nugent reportedly until the u. S. P. S. Raises rates and makes concessions on worker pay and benefits donald trump however has made 8 contingent on raising Package Delivery prices on Companies Like amazon a move that might lose customers and a key revenue stream the Postal Service. Is it a joke. Because then they are packages for amazon and other Internet Companies and every time they bring a package they lose money on it that amazon jeff bezos also owns the Washington Post hasnt gone unnoticed trump makes no secret of his hatred of that papers coverage of his presidency its kind of a were terribly perfect storm where you have nukes and other longstanding conservatives trying to achieve their goal of having built up you know Public Services and privatizing the Postal Service and all of this mixed in with trumps seemingly just personal vendetta against jeff bezos Washington Post and by extension amazon president ial candidate joe biden would want this question whether u. S. P. S. Funding is being withheld to make voting by mail as difficult as possible in november the fundamental issue though is whether Market Forces be allowed to encroach on a service that guarantees delivery of mail to 160000000. 00 households wherever they are for a flat fee and it is a stark choice for the trumpet ministration is it willing to take responsibility for the cessation of the Postal Service just when the public and especially those in rule republican areas need it the most during Election Year pandemic she ever turns the aljazeera.
