And hoping for help but doubt for any will come we beat some of the farmers in villages lost everything in sudans floods. The number of people who have died from corona virus in the u. S. Has now topped 200000 on the day that threshold was passed President Trump moved again to cast blame on china in an address to the Un General Assembly he slammed the country he said unleashed this plague on the world china in response call for unity in the fight against corona virus is our diplomatic editor james bass like all the other World Leaders speaking at the u. N. President trump speech was prerecorded his words or his controversial example. We have waged a fierce battle against the invisible enemy the china virus which has claimed countless lives in 188. 00 countries in the United States we launched the most aggressive mobilization since the 2nd world war the Fact Checkers in a country that suffered more than most from cope with 19 unlikely to question those claims as the Chinese Ambassador to the un listened in the General Assembly hall the president intensified his attack on china we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world china in the early is days of the virus china locked down travelled a massively while allowing flights to leave china and infect the world before introducing president xi the Chinese Ambassador made an impromptu intervention complaining about bullying and. China resolutely great acts baseless accusation against china his president in a clear contrast to President Trump said International Cooperation was the key to combating covert 19. 19 realize that were living in an interconnected Global Village with a common stake all countries are closely connected and we share a common feature no country can gain from this difficulties on the taste of billet taking advantage of the struggles in his address the president of france expressed his growing concern about the tension between the worlds 2 largest economies new purpose for the todays world cannot be left to the rivalry between china and the United States regardless of the white in the world that these 2 great powers share regardless of the history that ties us especially to the United States the collapse of the frameworks of our cooperation. That original a t r just referenced all of that means we must build a new order out trump speech was almost certainly the shortest ever given by u. S. President to the Un General Assembly just 7 minutes long it was delivered with a machine gun like style of oh there was criticism of iran china was the main target in his sights diplomats say speeches like this do nothing to decrease the polarization on the world stage james pays out 0 at the United Nations and as john hendren reports from chicago the virus is far from under control in the u. S. 6 weeks before novembers election. Washington National Cathedral the bell rang 200 times once for every 1000 lives lost through us to the Global Pandemic. 200000 dead. When i hear about 200000 deaths is just a big spark of sadness for me and for us as a country i think about the individual people that are here or who have died and then i think about multiplying that comes to acknowledge that its just hard for me to even grasp the amount. According to Johns Hopkins university the United States with just 4 percent of the worlds population has more than 20 percent of the nearly 1001000 deaths worldwide the number of coronavirus cases in the u. S. Is now 6800000 prison and trump says a vaccine could be available as soon as the november 3rd president ial election that is not a view widely shared by medical experts. Its a view the president shares often with thousands of largely unmask supporters at his rally we are getting crowds and this is pandemic and were rounding around the bed. His rival for the presidency Democrat Joe Biden has urged americans to wait on a scientifically proven prevented. The treasury due back in february that this was an extremely dangerous people disease think about how many people across the aisle. How many empty chairs around those today. Because of his negligence and selfishness how many lies lives lost. Many medical experts say a National Strategy including a mandatory mask mandate could have reduced the pandemic still considerably because they could be made at that point 3 were surely not being one unit and taking one unified approach throughout the entire day with the number of cases and deaths still far from under control which direction the u. S. Takes in the coming months depends on the outcome of the november election john hendren al jazeera chicago so lets cross now to the gallagher who is in Miami Florida thats one of the states where infections are growing fast and these are the death toll and the numbers are just staggering i mean the u. S. Has 4 percent of the worlds population it has 20 percent of the deaths so whats that telling us about where the country has failed and the lack of a federal response. Well i think if you look at this subject to flee 1st of all these are some of the facts america is the most powerful the wealthiest nation the world arguably the most medically advanced with potentially the most resources and yet we have all these cases more than 200000 deaths we saw a decline in numbers now thats climbing again particularly in places like north dakota utah wisconsin texas and california were going into the colder months now the flu season thats been the warning all along and there is now a very real fear that as in the rest of the world the numbers are going to start climbing and there is no federal response everythings been left down to the individual states and their governors in some cases even the individual counties theres no joined up thinking it president writes his response to all this as a grade a lets hear what he had to say in the last couple of hours. I think its a shame i think if we didnt do it properly and do it right youd have 2 and a half 1000000 deaths if you take a look at home turn it if you could have 2 and a half 1000000 or something thereabout you could have a number that would be substantially more with all of that being said we should never hurt anybody and you saw my United Nations speech john issue to stop it in their border they should never let this spread all over the world and be with President Trump blaming everything on china i mean how is the 200000 milestone on the pandemic then likely to play out politically in the run up to the election well unfortunately everything including the pandemic is being politicized there are those who believe there should be a mask mandate who believe in the science and the advice thats been given to them by places like the center for Disease Control and prevention and there are others you see them at the trump rallies not Wearing Masks some of them think this whole thing is a hoax so this is a nation divided not just by Everything Else going on by him here but also by their reaction to this pandemic but i think this election you will certainly have Vice President joe biden making his campaign stump about trumps reaction to the pandemic meanwhile President Trump is going to be talking about Supremes Court nominations hes going to be talking about blaming china and how his opposition all socialist and dangerous and will destroy the American Dream but the fact is that this is a nation in mourning the funeral is still going on so they cant quite mourn because things are only going to get worse if these figures are to be believed we are approaching the flu season those colder months and those figures inching ever slowly upwards all right to and he got to live for us there in Miami Florida andy thank you. Lets bring in eric ham hes a us political analyst and joins us via skype from washington d. C. Area great to have you back on the program so listen on the day that the u. S. Policy is 200000 deaths President Trump strategy seems to be deliberately attacking china blaming them for the virus he calls it the china virus what did you make of his speech to the u. N. General assembly today. We have seen from President Donald Trump since he was elected to the oval office this is a president who has given speeches at the United Nations not speaking to the audience before him a global audience. But speaking. Going after his base and in doing so attempting to. Attack 1 the doors of the virus without recognizing. His value to the world stage because this is now a Global Pandemic where the United States is leading the world so once again we see a president simply using this opportunity not to engage with a global audience which is the basis for the United Nations but again doubling down on his vitriol doubling down on base political calculation and simply not recognizing the moment and eric. How much is trump trying to get fewer people talking about these 200000 deaths because the fact remains trump can blame whoever he wants to blame but these people died on his watch absolutely and the United States has suffered through pandemic before sars h one n one and even any bola outbreak but never the crisis what we have seen the United States where. Now not only have we crossed the major mark 200000 dead but were really. Going to have a 1000000 people infected with that virus so as much as President Donald Trump attempts to downplay this like yesterday when he spoke from ohio saying that this is a virus that has not impacted anyone and its not had a discernible impact on anyone even ask people continue to war and then saying that this doesnt affect young people which basically ignores those 200000 people that are now dead dead because the president knew about the severity of the virus but yet did nothing to counteract it and to run to a final brief thought eric because were having some slight technical issues with the line there are some big issues out there in the run up to the election on the economy jobs Racism Health care so where does the coronavirus pandemic fit on that isnt really going to matter come november 3rd it will all be about the pandemic because again there are 200000 dead now but now that the number of cases are going up the number of deaths will soon follow and that will again be front and center for this president as he tries to win reelection and become great to get your thoughts thank you for talking to al jazeera thank you.
