Work on an app to improve Contact Tracing as the country faces to contain the virus. Im still going to welcome to the program u. S. President donald trump has threatened to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization and permanently and u. S. Funding in a letter to the u. N. Bodies director general mr trump demands changes based on his criticisms within 30 days he accuses the organization of mishandling the global Coronavirus Response and being a puppet of china and china describes his comments as a Smear Campaign that accuses him of shirking americas responsibilities to the w. H. O. Final decision to fund the w even before trump had issued his incendiary letted to the World Health Organization it was clear. He was about to attack. But i think theyve done a. Very sad job in the last 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 china. China centric to put it nicer but theyre a puppet of china those comments at a white house event were quickly followed by a trump tweet he links to a letter accusing the w. H. O. Of making a series of missteps over its response to the pandemic in it he warns that if the World Health Organization does not commit to major substantial improvements within the next 30 days i will make my temporary freeze of United States funding to the w. H. O. Permanent and reconsider our membership in the organization trumps ultimatum came just a few hours after the w. H. O. Announced an independent review i will initiate an independent evaluation at the earliest appropriate moment to review experience gained and Lessons Learned and to make recommendations to improve national and Global Pandemic preparedness and response but this is about more than just the World Health Organization donald trump who has been criticized for his own handling of the pandemic publicly blames china for trying to cover up the outbreak Chinas Foreign Ministry has already hit back accusing trump of trying to mislead the public in order to smear china. Lets take a closer look at this with john jordan hes a republican strategist and political commentator he joins us from california welcome to you with more than 90000 covered 19 deaths the most in the world and the highest number of coronavirus cases how would the u. S. Benefit from leaving the World Health Organization well 1st of all we dont know the u. S. Has the most deaths or the most cases americas numbers are very transparent we dont really know what russias numbers chinas numbers are or runs numbers really are we are the we have the largest case the rift valley number 2 countries that are our for 4th right of numbers question is america is not the only one thats very unhappy with the World Health Organization right now and certainly the in the trumpet history should take the most extreme position but there are over 100 other countries that are very unhappy with the w. H. O. As well i mean the World Health Assemblies meeting today and tomorrow and taiwan is excluded it chinas insistence so i think the us is is it one of the spectrum but the rest of the world including all of nearly all of the e. U. Is is is is also registering their unhappiness World Health Organization as it appears that the World Health Organization is more governed by politics then and demick right ok so it was one just look at lets just take a lesson look at that because of course in any Multilateral Organization youre going to struggle to find can consensus just going back to the question i asked what would be the benefit to the United States of leaving the w. H. O. Well certainly it would make a statement and certainly the u. S. Taxpayer would save them save money from it if the World Health Organization is really just something that the Chinese Government is so coopted theres no point for the United States to state it at all furthermore that it that with the u. S. Withdrawal from might encourage other countries to place pressure on other w. H. O. And the Chinese Government and make their behavior more up and demick oriented ok so we have accusations coming from china coming from the i think states and from others that china is behind this pandemic lets lets stay with this accusation that the w. H. O. Is chinas century wheres the evidence well lets look at it lets look at the hand of it dr tender skin breezy is was former Health Minister a member of an oppressive regime government in ethiopia and was handpicked and lobbied for extensively by beijing for the World Health Organization top job incidentally he was the only head of the World Health Organization to not meet be a medical doctor he was chinas pick hes not even a doctor he has consistently praised china and been reluctant to criticize china not only in terms of the origins of the pandemic but its handling of the data and its truthfulness to the rest of the world in lobbying for adult to his appointments that they show the china do anything that the u. S. And other other countries was doing when they were love bring for that men or women to be in charge. Im not sure the us with the us didnt really lobby that hard for any other person to be in church keep in mind dr dr tatar is good breezy as is was the head of a marxist government in ethiopia and went there and was under white criticism in ethiopia for his handling of 3 cholera outbreaks and the covering up of those in the ninetys and early 2000 so the u. S. Didnt insist on getting its guy heading the World Health Organization but china did it and they did in fact get their guy who is a marxist and has not and is not a physician w. H. O. Assembly agreed today to have a comprehensive and independent review of the Global Pandemic of response is that likely societys high president from. No thats of thats as its a state its a step in the right direction i think wed all like to see understand you know taiwan has been very successful in its containment of the could chronic virus wed like wed like to wed like the w. H. O. To invite to invite taiwan it at a minimum as an as an observer so the dog world health or something is going on the next 2 days but china wont let them do it wont it and rose breezy a stew it but wed all like to hear and learn more about taiwans response good talking to thank you for joining us republican strategist joan joan. My pleasure. The president should trump says hes been taking the anti malarial drug hydroxy clora queerness protection against corona virus despite a lack of evidence that it prevents people from Contracting Company 19 the drug has however been linked to potentially dangerous abnormalities in hot rhythm the president has previously touted the drug as a Game Changing treatment is more from his News Conference on monday but i get a lot of tremendously positive on the hydroxy and i say hey you know the expression ive used what do you have to lose ok what do you have to lose that i havent taken for about a week for about a week it i have every day at some point every day i take a pill every day. At some point else up what id like to do is id like to have the cure and or the vaccine and that will happen i think 1st. Lets get more on this story from g. W. Reporter Anthony Howard welcome on to me so how is the online world reacting to the president s announcement that he would be taking these on to malarial drugs in great numbers would you believe feel thats how theyre reacting a good old fashion put a storm was raging here hydroxy clerk when was the trending number one across the globe turning pretty hard with most people expressing expressing outrage and dismayed that being the default setting of twitter thats what twitter does particularly when it comes to the president so i want to show you a couple of tweets 1st up at the end of the spectrum with a poking a bit a bit of fun at the president the 1st 3 were fairing to trump recently claiming he was sarcastic lee suggesting thinking this in fact that mike you were saying this tweet. Thought the president might not translate he was taking hydroxy chloroquine sarcastically what changed the narrative there was nancy pelosi saying it was dangerous for mr trump in particular to take the drug because in her words the president was morbidly obese this twit suggesting that by saying trump was more but the miss pelosi welcome to the movement for the demanding to see the president s good city figures you can see what theyve done they fill with good as opposed to see that what about a medical response to the question said whats the worst that can happen one of the medics people were falling over themselves to point out that a lot of bad things can happen. He said you know whats the worst thing that could happen indeed many people are pointing out professional and otherwise that its very very dangerous for people with Heart Disease high Blood Pressure or with the white problem no one tweet in particular that were going to take a look at from just a 2nd whos a surgeon now hes professing to be a doctor and lots of others were as well saying simply that he did not believe that a medical professional would prescribe the drug unproven in Clinical Trials particularly to a heavyset 73 year old it finishes with what was the burning question online how is that possible. For anyone that by the way 150000 times that was traded under the hash tag hydroxy clerk when pondering that same thought how would a licensed doctor risk ride that drug for anyone else this is a historic day of twitter proportions for donald trump this is monday. Had to be answered how or when did the bristol media desk thank you. Well take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world now india has begun to evacuate communities along its eastern seaboard as it prepares for the arrival of cyclon unfun and fans expected to hit india and bangladesh a wednesday with winds of up to 185 kilometers an hour heavy rain and strong tidal waves.

Germany and france are hoping to win swift approval from the rest of the e. U. For a proposed 500000000000 Euro Rescue Fund to help boost the continents struggling economies german chancellor Angela Merkel and french president Emmanuel Mccraw announce a plan on monday in a policy reversal that shy germany says its now willing to use its own Sterling Credit rating to help the e. U. Borrow the money it needs for the fund. They used to be known as the motor of the e. U. But recently germany and france of struggle to develop a common approach on europes Big Questions now the pandemic seems to have reinvigorated the Franco German tendin year by it isnt about soy and we are both convinced the answer is europe must act together the nation state on its own has no future and for germany i say germany can only thrive if europe thrives all. The medical plan is big it will direct 500000000000 euros it industries in countries most severely hit by the pandemic importantly these are not loans but grants meaning the money will not have to be repaid and the cash will be borrowed by the e. U. Commission on the Capital Markets and paid back over 20 years. So has miracle turned her back on her principles all this represents a huge change of tank for germany until now the chancellor was against cash transfers to economically troubled countries like spain and italy they are now likely to receive the lions share of the help the plan involves taking on debt at the e. U. Level also previously at a boom in german i but change has come because of corona and the desire for compromise with france the seas history course step for france and germany and this is all short history called step for the whole European Union because this is the 1st time when france and germany stands together to have a phone doing through dept of immunity vestment for the e. U. Countries despite the break with previous strict financial caution the plan has the backing of key players in their cause party giving now credits to the countries what rejected would call them. China. So thats also one man why its better not mine to direct 2 projects in the concert then giving loans and it is necessary that we stand together all. Opposition politicians also talk of European Solidarity but they worry about the new readiness to spend not lend. And im sure we have 2 to 2 art but im not sure we have to act on the basis of rounds. Where our other instruments to. To sustain to to help these countries to overcome the consequences of the corona rises and thats not a question of only grounds or credits if the miracle mccrone plan is to achieve its aim it will have to be passed by the bundestag and the European Commission so far its no more than a statement that the twin engines of europe are still running. Or staying in berlin and businesses here are reopening the social distancing rules have been relaxed a little and people are visual in a favorite social ritual so be it within the constraints of social distancing Authorities Say the return to normality will continue unless the corona virus infection rates surges again so the nurse face daily decisions about whats risky and whats not. The lynas of entering out once again getting a taste of what the new norm is now like post lockdown some things seem to be back to where they were before coronavirus brought everything to a halt for weeks shops restaurants and playgrounds remain closed now every day life is slowly returning back to berlin to most people its really. Out and about but they also have to make sure that their fellow citizens are protected how is that going to work opinion is divided some think the authorities are being too cautious other say not careful enough its a test of social cohesion. I think people are very responsible a lot are aware they could be carrying the virus and are fairly careful around others. But not everyone in this playground shares this confidence older people in particular are still worried. You only need to come out at the weekend to see that people are partying everywhere 20 or 30 together the young just want to go for it. Most people in this part of serving social distancing. But its not easy to decide what should and should not be allowed. But in schools on this is the kind of pseudo solidarity you go along with their roots when you think people are watching and spending thats whats at 1st. This neighborhood takes a more casual approach something the pandemic is over others belief that never really was a crisis so no ones saying that out loud it can be confusing. Deciding this is shaft assistive its difficult for people to know how close to each other they can get it specially when theyre not thinking about it all day something theyre experts and some just go with their own instincts. About an hours and they are not hung on. Any motor nonviolently monk. Its good to take a break but many missed their friends. If they do good films and it would be nice if more people could get together maybe in groups to fots not just Family Friends also we could deal with that and most of the cold berlin us are learning to live with the pen damage each in their own way.

First so finding people who have contracted cough 19 before they can spread the disease and tracing their contacts has become a priority for governments around the world scientists in south africa developing an app that helps to track those contacts if it works it could help make up for a shortfall in the countrys Testing Capacity. I feel that musician city farm market in cape town before the pandemic the promise markets through 7000 visitors a day now just 700 to arrive and they are only allowed to buy essential under strict procedures. This is what im doing today everybody comes to the market i take the full name i take. I explain to them the reason im doing it which is for packing in tracing in the case of. Being a notifiable disease the shoppers appear happy to cooperate im comfortable i understand why. And its great that we can get to support the local pride here. And. The people by not reading device the idea is that if there is a case of coronavirus at the market authorities can one of those who may be affected by collecting peoples names and Contact Details is an easy way to make Contact Tracing possible it is obviously not the most effective way and researchers at the university of cape town argue would make things easier and more effective. Everybody. Has overseen the development of the corvee i. D. Every participant can register online and will then receive a q. R.

Uncovered 19 tests by far the most of any african country but now laboratories are overwhelmed and often need more than 5 days to get a result something that no effort can fix theres still no indication as to whether south africa will introduce the as a nation wide project for the time being researchers are planning to test it here in cape town. In football the result of germanys blunders legal has prompted other european leagues to step up their preparations the English Premier League has been testing players and staff as teams begin to train in small groups today 6 people from 3 clubs tested positive and will now self isolate italian and spanish sides are also meeting up again.

Xina deems it damns real madrid have also returned to Team Training for the 1st time since march. Very good very good to be back on the pitch to work. With the boys. Now we just need to wait for the games but its very very happy the government must 1st ok a resumption just like in italy and in england where training in small groups has also now been allowed to start up again. The plans for a premier League Return behind closed doors have been in the works for weeks players have been spotted doing individual training but a realistic start date for matches has been allusive they have been rather was over how much a resumption would expose Players Health and if games should be played at neutral venues to avoid home fans turning up outside stadiums the return of the bond as they grew at the weekend without fans and with strict hygiene guidelines not always followed by the players has put pressure on other european leagues to quickly copy germanys lead. But leagues including france have already scrapped their seasons and disadvantage clubs of threatened litigation in the wake of the blunders leaguers resumption the french government has defended the decision. It was important for me to give priority to the health and psychological well being of the players rather than economic considerations which in other countries have indeed taken precedence.
