Also not all of asserting improper control over the police. And a hong kong books that are once detained for criticizing china tries to start a new life in democratic taiwan but hes under attack there too. On public only as thanks for joining us we start in the United States where President Donald Trump has caused alarm by suggesting people infected with the coronavirus could be treated with ultraviolet light and disinfectant trump made those remarks during a White House Press briefing after a presentation by a Government Official suggesting heat and sunlight could weaken the virus trump has since claimed he wasnt encouraging people to ingest disinfectant but his comments dismayed doctors present at the briefing. Donald trumps claims left Health Experts beach lists and the president s own advisers scrambling to undo any potential damage before its too late which if theyre in the White House Press briefing trump suggests that this infected injections and u. V. Light could be used to treat patients infected with the coronavirus this is. Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light. And i think you said that has him a check were going to test it and then i said supposing you brought a light inside the body you can which you can do either through the skin or. In some other way and i think you said you can attest to sounds interesting very good right and then i see the disinfectant but not. In a minute one minute and theres a way we can do Something Like that. By injection. Or almost a cleaning very marks were criticized by Health Experts who say disinfectants like bleach are dangerous when injected or ingested when i said suppose you know that alerts time that trump has made claims that even scientists in his own administration have had to debunk and only a month ago trump promoted the use of hydroxy clora keen a drug used to treat malaria as a potential cure for coded 19 the next day the governments top Infectious Disease expert reviewed his claim during a press conference and surgical procedures is there any evidence to suggest that as with malaria it might be used as a prophylactic if you can scope to know the answer is no and the evidence that its talking about john is anecdotal evidence trumps recent remarks and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic have been widely criticized since the pandemic spread to the u. S. His Approval Ratings have been dropping. A recent poll showed that less than half of Americans Trust the information theyre getting from the president on the coronavirus. But for some its not only a question of mistrust for this group of protesters trump statements are causing people in the u. S. To die they laid out dozens of fake body bags a symbol of the lives lost to the coronavirus and of the many more who are expected to suffer from the virus in the United States. Now mohamad moneer joins us hes a viral infection and vaccine expert after Lancaster University in the u. K. Mohammed welcome what did you make of donald trump suggestion of injecting disinfectant to clean the body of corona virus i think its completely disappointing statement especially at this critical time. Everyone is trying to do to follow the rules and regulation they acquired to really contain the inspection at this critical to any misinformation could lead to. d what we are already having what he also suggested treating patients with u. V. Light ultraviolet light whats the Science Behind that and could that actually work. Well not even that he was suggesting the nearby doctress to test that well we do know that there are d a lot of information still need to be gathered for this could all know virus and the co in 19 but then there are other. Questions that we already know the answer for example using disinfectant or d using a u. V. Light to can activate the virus one thing i would like to clear once again here is that the vent virus is outside the living body it is different than what is inside the body so disinfectant the light these are proven vais of disinfecting at the surface for example or washing hands painting herons but wonder why once the virus is inside the body then these things dont work because they also work or to the same mechanism as that they would damage the body organs for example if someone brings bleach according to ingest or or or injected leach it sounds is going to be sold to cells and it would be a killer site the same as it look at both or so u. V. Light we know its very effective in still lighting and devices in the medical field here in laboriously we all are to use a u. V. Light to disinfect but not once know why this is inside the body and that most experts estimate that a vaccine is at least a year out so isnt the president right that desperate times call for desperate measures. Well it is certainly true that we dont have a ton of your take on the vaccine those are recommended to train. People for this disease yet there is no rule also for these kind of policy fight statements because these could certainly these totally have they dont have any it wont get into this situation but what it would propose is a lot more confusions and some of the followers might try to ingest that and if that they do so who would be to responsibly for this quality and i think this is really critical time not only to condemn or also to ensure that politician. Consult. Its outworkers d before they demonstrate any kind of these suggestions because these are otherwise a very critical moment minear in the u. K. Thanks for joining us well the white house is claiming the president s remarks are being misrepresented a short while ago trump now said his comments werent meant to be taken seriously but i was asked to start quickly has taken a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside but it does kill it and it would kill it in the hands and that would make things much better that was done in the form of a sarcastic question to the well for more lets bring in detail Stefan Siemens in washington d. C. Hi stefan so it was sarcastic in other words that the president was only joking how credible is that. Well if you ask political observers here and lots of experts and a lot of colleagues actually who were in the room yesterday at the briefing and who are now watching that footage you just are we just showed theyre saying there was nothing or sarcastic about it and thats the president trying to pedaling back peddle back his comments. And theres where we are now and now its sarcasm yesterday that didnt sound like sarcasm at all and if you would have the chance to see how dr deborah brinks one of the experts in this briefing yesterday reacted when the president looked at her and made those comments she was really really clearly uncomfortable and that is exactly what not only a lot of Journalists Network c. N. N. The public the press is but also many experts are very very comfortable with what the president has done promoting to ingest or or inject disinfectants or cleaning solutions or u. V. Light inside the body to fight covert 19 and the coronavirus thats clearly not sitting well with many or all experts maybe and its also not. Conducive to. Getting more trust or getting. Getting the president to be taken more seriously by maybe experts and probably also the public so plenty of reactions there across the board stefan now for trump it does seem to be all about the campaign trail i think its safe to say that but what are actually one of the polls showing us about his Approval Ratings at the moment. Yeah probably that is seems to be the case the daily occurrence of the president. At the Task Force CoronavirusWhite House Task force presser is a Campaign Style based to serve syndicated to his clientele to his base to his supporters and he is in dire need to do this because his Approval Ratings are down and as i just mentioned there is really a decreasing trust within the public and across all. Lines of the political spectrum in how he handles the Coronavirus Crisis slash what he says as he briefed yesterday the problem for the Republican National congress the Republican Party and for trump is the independents the non undecided voters if they do not believe the president and do not go to the polls polls to work for him he cannot win in November Stephanie moans in washington thank you well heres a look at some of the latest developments in the coronavirus pandemic the global death toll from covert 1000 has surpassed 193000 according to Johns Hopkins university the death toll in the United States alone has now risen above 50000 the u. S. Has the worlds biggest outbreak of covert the u. K. Has announced it will host a Virtual International summit on june 4th for exaggerating the development of a vaccine and amazon is extending temporary pay raises for its warehouse workers in the u. S. And canada until the middle of may the Online Retail giant raised wages last month in recognition of the additional work the pandemic generated in its delivery centers. Now after being shut down for weeks and losing out on sales Many Companies cant wait to get back to business but it wont be business as usual as long as the pandemic is still ongoing many businesses are getting creative finding new ways to keep workers safe while on the job like one Italian Company thats even installed indoor traffic lights after a 6 week break workers at this fridge factory in italy are desperate to get going again but theyre no transformed plant may offer an uncomfortable glimpse into the work spaces of the post coronavirus future. Yes this is it is legal but weve developed a hardware and Software System that could help people live and work in a safe manner and keep to social distancing. For most of these votes images are shot as well as one of them though measures like face masks and disinfectant a traffic light system has been installed in the canteen and in toilets to limit overcrowding. But one of the more Innovative Solutions is also the most eyebrow raising walkers know where its hiding device that sends in a layout to their move forward and whenever they are too close to one another. I mean the would be another interesting element of the time is that it allows the company and trade Union Organizations to track the interaction of each tieing within the company. In normal times an employee tracking system would spark protest not. Were sure this is not a spying advice it is not a tool to spy on us its only a device to increase the safety distance to report close contacts not to spy on people. As companies and countries around the world debate how and when to get the economy running safely again this is one factor that shows the future of coal miners may require compromise along the way.

Well for more on this lets bring in correspondent from Rio De Janeiro mathias brazils former Justice Minister said joe moto was a popular minister famed as an Anti Corruption crusader what do we know about his motives. Morrow and both norah both they are conservatives and both were known as wanting to fight corruption but i think now it turned out to be a mis understanding because moral complaint in public today. About interference is by a board so narrow especially regarding an appointment of the head of the federal police so. Its likely that both are now or extended his his power and did something against his responsibilities we suppose it was before in order to protect his sons from investigation by the federal police well all of this is happening in the midst of the corona Virus Outbreak thats something president bush for now though doesnt seem to be taking seriously tell us more about that.

Well a high profile prodemocracy activist and a bookseller who fled hong kong has been attacked with red paint in taiwan where he was set to launch a new book store it this weekend lamb winkie is the former owner of hong kongs causeway bay books known for carrying works banned by china w. s phoebe com reports. The causeway bay book store used to be an iconic location in hong kong famed for selling books critical of chinese leaders now expelled and one k. Is about to bring it to taiwan and to dolls and their 15 there was one of 5 hong kong booksellers detained by chinese agents and forced to confess on t. V. That his calling in life has much more meaning now that 5 years ago i mean what books are my weapon of resistance reopening a bookstore is a revolt against the authoritarian regime. They targeted bookstores in order to suppress freedom of speech why are they so afraid of an armed booksellers. Then could only realize his point after he fled to taiwan and they probably last year that was after the Hong Kong Government was pushing ahead with an extradition bill that could send him back to china for trial soon after he left hong kong to send in 2 months of mass protests. The unrest is far from over 15 living opposition figures were arrested just last weekend. And these week lemon k was attacked with paint in taipei in what he caught in the attempts by china to intimidate him below is not backing down so guns and books about the hong kong protest a prominent in his book still. Pessimistic about hong kong because its ruled by a country which preaches its promises to the people. Yeah true old china tightened hong kongs freedoms over the past 20 years but my bookstore says no to totalitarianism. We call for liberties just as its written on this flag. Many people around the world acco his beliefs he raised around 200000. 00 in profundity to realize the project. When he would. Make a. Living. And then maybe on the path of no return after leaving his home loving family behind in hong kong the boat store in taipei has now become his home. I dont expect the situation to improve soon maybe in a decade or more nevertheless we shouldnt give up. I boycott all chinese products revolts doesnt necessarily mean throwing a petrol bomb its all the Little Things in our everyday lives. I dont liberties have had their price 11 k. Believes he made the best decision he could have. While the pandemic poses a particular challenge in africa where many countries lack Critical Health care infrastructure sudan was already facing a Health Care Crisis before the cold at 19 outbreak many medical workers left the country under the previous dictatorship thats left mostly young doctors to handle the corona Virus Outbreak answer some of them say theyve been attacked by patients families who blame them for the Health Systems failures. A moment of rest before the early shift begins doctors and nurses board a shuttle bus from their temporary housing to the nearby clinic they cannot keep a safe distance apart and they arent allowed to see their own families. These Health Workers have to get by on one meal a day. Khartoums clinic is the main Treatment Center for sudans coronavirus patients it already has 16 intensive care beds and 15 ventilators but there are nearly 40 patients being treated already every day brings new arrivals. Doctors like on a dean work 12 hour days off their much longer they are poorly paid and at high risk of infection but feel a strong sense of. The bulk of the money we make isnt enough to live on we also work in other clinics and have other up occasions but its ok were not here for the money. Crisis torn sudan is struggling after decades of dictatorship and. Mismanagement a unity government made up of the army and opposition leaders took over after mass protests last year the economy is in ruins food and fuel are in short supply economic prospects probably. A little more with. Things that are very difficult even for doctors because our country is going through hard times i can only hope that the Economic Situation will improve soon in the meantime we will stay here and try to help people as best as we can. So not all sudanese doctors take that view because of the low pay and poor facilities many highly qualified Health Professionals want to move away to europe or the us. Hundreds have already left and now there are not enough doctors with feelings running high some have been attacked as people blame them for the pandemic. Without the girl who was attacking doctors is completely unacceptable this type of behavior should be severely punished look at the school code.

Noise disturbs the animals just like us it has many affects it masks their own communications it scrambles their Information Systems almost wild a lot done continues paresis birds can im scramble their systems and sing as loud as they like.
