han opens its doors again weeks of lockdown and now over in the chinese city which 1st reported the corner virus outbreak and. a corner virus testing center torn apart in ivory coast protesters say it was too close to their homes putting them at tyrus school. thank you very much for joining us the u.s. president has criticised the world health organization for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic donald trump has accused of being china centric and has stretton to cut funding attack on the w.h.o. claim as the us recorded nearly 2000 cold 1000 named deaths in just the last 24 hours according to the john hopkins university track and more than 4000 people have now died in new york city alone. that is the largest single day increase. and we talk about numbers but that 731 people who we lost behind every one of those numbers is an individual it's a family mothers and fathers the sisters a brother so a lot of pain. again today for many new yorkers and there are no thoughts and prayers and france has become the 4th country to register more than 10000 deaths the government is expected to extend a lockdown that's been in place since mid march to try to stop the spread of the virus and britain's prime minister remains in intensive care for a 2nd night or is johnson has been given supplementary oxygen but is not on a ventilator is said to be in good spirits more not of that in just a moment but 1st let's get an update from washington d.c. with mike hanna after a series of critical tweets during the day president trump launched a verbal attack on the. in the daily coronavirus briefing the president seemed particularly on good by the w h o's recommendation and early february that international travel should continue this just days off to he had imposed a ban on flights from china he also appeared to echo allegations that the organization relied too heavily on information from china during the initial phase of the outbreak they called it wrong they call it wrong they really they missed a call they could have called it months earlier they would have known and they should have known and they probably didn't so we'll be looking into that very carefully and we're going to put a hold on money spent to the w h o we'll put a very powerful hold on it and we're going to see it's a great thing if it works but when they call every shot wrong that's not good. the ban on flights from china was one of the recommendations the president's economic advisor made in a memorandum sent to the national security council at the end of february peter navarro also warned that as many as 600000 americans could lose their lives navarro sent a 2nd memorandum a month later this time including the president on the distribution list in a 2 said that as many as 2 to 3 americans could lose their lives he also made specific recommendations about the medical equipment the government should obtain in preparation this included a 1000000000 facemasks 12000 ventilators and 25000 respirators the memorandum was largely ignored president trump denies he ever saw the documents yes sir mr dooley is to the followers of the president just this president this today so you learned about the family today which is maybe a day going to healing. on your staff here in broome so that it will determine the winner of the year there was a recommendation use of feeling that he had i think he told certain people in this but it didn't matter i didn't see it the president told reporters the contents of the documents would not have changed the way he has acted and then left the briefing after saying he would greet them later my kind of al-jazeera washington now jeremy is a public health expert who rolled guidelines under the obama administration for how u.s. government should respond to it and demick he says the trump white house has disregarded that advice. what it contained was a sort of checklist a set of triggers to identify when a disease was posing a risk and when the united states government should begin triggering preparedness and things like coronavirus novel coronavirus were specifically cited in their the risk of a respiratory virus with the fish and human to human transmission and a significant significant fatality rate was specifically cited in there as a concern and then it listed a number of things that the country should begin to do work on diagnostic testing check the p.p. supply and make sure p.p. supply is sufficient begin planning for mass casualty events in our hospital system you know all of that was in there all of that based on that playbook should have been triggered by the january on the january 30 date when the public health emergency of international concern was declared but that was disregarded and that's why i think it really isn't it really isn't quite right to blame the w.h.o. for our own lack of preparedness had they followed the playbook they would have begun kicking things into gear on january 30th instead what they did was they instituted these travel bans but didn't really focus on domestic preparedness and you know for all the criticism of w h o's. dislike for those travel bans part of that comes from the fact that a travel ban sometimes an alibi allows you to escape doing other things so you know this administration talks up the travel ban but you know they were focused on that instead of focusing where they needed to be which was on domestic preparedness i'm not sure why the president has chosen to pick this fight right now he spent the last 2 months largely praising w.h.o. and you know in general i think show has been further ahead of the curve in understanding the risk of this than his own administration has so i don't think they're the one to be blamed for the sluggish u.s. response. now the u.s. acting navy secretary has resigned over his comments about the former commander of a coronavirus stricken vessel thomas mauled they had been facing growing criticism after firing and then insulting captain breck cozier calling him courts naive or stupid those comments were in relation to a league's letter cozier row describing the worsening conditions on the aircraft carrier more than 200 crew members on board the theodore roosevelt have tested positive for 19 now as we reported france has become the 4th country's register more than 10000 coronavirus thinks deaths but there's been a decline in intensive care missions paul brennan takes a look at how france and other european countries are coping. the arrow points down but the sign just caution after 5 consecutive days of fewer and fewer new deaths spain source sharp increase in coronavirus fatalities on tuesday. nonetheless the rise was attributed to weekend it's only now being recorded and that overall the trend remains downward spanish firefighters are playing a vital role in support of the medical professionals fire crew volunteers are decontaminating ambulances and other public authority vehicles which have been carrying coronavirus patients the most important of this the most important thing we can do is give our best to the situation there are many different groups working and the most important are the public health workers who are movie month and we must give all we have because we're going to we're going to be. in the french capital paris city authorities are now browned outdoor exercise between the hours of 10 am and 7 pm amid concern that too many people were just using it as an excuse to go outside police are stepping up in force meant. as total french fatalities from the virus past 10000 on tuesday president marc grown was listening to the concerns of medical center staff long detailed how a lack of protective gallons is the main problem here. crimea the most well thought out plan didn't predict that china would be hit and little countries would have the peak at the same time and the protective materials we thought were of no value 6 months or one year ago the most idiotic thing to do and all of a sudden we're in trouble the pandemic continues to challenge european democracy and poland's right wing government is pressing on with presidential elections next month despite a chorus of public and political opposition the plan still needs senate approval but there were bitter exchanges in the lower chamber yes me poor little thing it i'm ashamed that i'm sharing the parliament floor with people like this people who are insensitive to those who are begging for help today mothers fathers entrepreneurs workers who are losing yet another day just for the sake of how donta power coronaviruses generated new respect and affection for the medical staff on the front line of the outbreak and on choose day world health day as designated by the w.h.o. its director general urged more recruitment to address staff shortages one of the lessons i hope the world learned from quoted 19 is that we must invest in nurses and midwives. without them the world would indeed be in a very dark place right now paul brennan al jazeera. now from mr boies johnson is spending a 2nd 1000 intensive care as he battles 19 foreign secretary who has stepped in to lead the government says johnson a stable for some london. this is where the most powerful man in britain is on the close observation downing street say the prime minister who is 55 is stable and a good spirits he is conscious and does not have pneumonia he's been given oxygen but house and been put on a ventilator as one nearby if needed. the foreign secretary dominic will stand in for johnston when necessary leading the government's daily coronavirus cabinet meeting and a briefing in downing street he's an experienced politician but he's had little time to prepare it comes as a shock to all of us he's not just the prime minister for all of us in cabinet he's not just our boss he's also a colleague and he's also a friend so all of our thoughts and prayers are with the prime minister at this time with kerry and with his whole family and i'm confident he'll pull through because if there's one thing i know about this prime minister he's a fighter and he'll be back at the helm leading us through this crisis in short order. this was johnson a week after being diagnosed applauding health workers for their efforts he's shown persistent symptoms for 2 weeks. soon after arriving at a hospital he tweeted i went into hospital for some routine tests as i'm still experiencing coronavirus symptoms i mean good spirits and keeping in touch with my team as we work together to fight this virus and keep everyone safe. but his symptoms worsened on monday evening there was clearly much more cause for concern. messages of support have been flooding in for the prime minister across britain's political spectrum including the newly elected leader of the labor party we will support the government where we can do that but we will challenge that when it's necessary but the purpose of the challenge is to make sure that all mistakes that could be put right or things need to happen more quickly that can happen more quickly world leaders have sent messages of support on twitter with the italian and french presidents hoping for a speedy recovery speaking from the white house donald trump described johnson as a good friend i found boris to be a fantastic person just like a fantastic warm strong smart guy he loves his country you see that i mean he fought like like hell for his country and intensive care is big stuff this is a challenging time for johnson's family is beyond say kerry simmons is recovering from the virus herself she's pregnant with their 1st child they haven't been able to see each other for several weeks johnson's personal battle with the virus has shaken the government and the country just as scientists say britain is entering one of the most deadly weeks of the pandemic neave barkha al-jazeera. still ahead on al-jazeera joining the pandemic the u.s. presidential primary in wisconsin goes ahead after a last minute attempt to postpone it fails. here my. name is ana fortunato she's 19 years old and she beat coronavirus coming out of tennessee to say. hello we got more lively storms in the forecast to southern parts of the u.s. we've got this area pulling away from the deep south easing outs of texas heading over towards the appalachians as we go on through way to stay ahead of that some time to getting up to 24 celsius in washington d.c. new york gets up to around 17 degrees of a few showers around the midwest still got some wet weather into southern parts of california we have had some flooding here we've had some very heavy snow around a foot of snow for some parts of the sierra we're going to see that so wet weather that wintry weather just pull its well little further east which could even see some rather heavy rain pushing across towards nevada as we go on through thursday so i wouldn't bet on it staying dry in las vegas for example so much the weather will make its way into southern parts of texas by this state chance to some right still there into the northeastern corridor that's in the process of pulling out of the way not too much right in the forecast across the caribbean it's settled and sunny still may well see one of 2 showers just around hispaniola maybe into puerto rico but for much of the audience it's looking fine and dry you might catch one or 2 showers into panama the said is not a sunny temperatures in kingston 31 degrees. when diplomacy fields and fierce we defend our borders are wide open wide

al-jazeera the u.s. president has criticized the world health organization for its response to the coronavirus and then make donald trump accuse the agency of being too china centric and of giving bad advice is comments come as the u.s. recorded 2000 virus links deaths in a single day france has become the 4th country to register more than 10000 over 1000 next deaths the country has been in

into the city and highways and train lines have been open to traffic its 11000000 residents are now able to leave without specific authorisation but they still need in trucks their health and movement chinese government figures show around 80 percent of china's coronavirus related deaths were in who'd be a province where one han is located let's speak to katrina you in beijing for us so katrina what does the reopening of we look like how many people actually trying to leave the city today. tens of thousands probably tens of thousands of people are heading to airports bus stations and train stations to leave behind more than 50000 people are expected to leave by train alone and of course the 1st 1000 case was found in this city about 4 months ago and at the end of january a lockdown was quickly put into place to not only the residents of ruhani city but many people who had been traveling to the city for to see relatives for chinese new year for a holiday they found themselves stuck as transit hubs were closed and now after more than 2 months they're finally able to leave as long as they can declare that they have a clean bill of health not only by trains buses and planes that people also are taking to the roads there is traffic and will hunt for the 1st time in months the the roads on the highways are clogged particularly leaving the city but it's it's not back to normal life quite get here in china the epidemic is still is still present there are still about a 1000 people in china being treated for carving 19 and it's not quite back to normal life even in will hunt city although the majority of the 11000000 people who live there i will now to move around are evil to leave the city but it's not the case for everyone for example if you are $100.00 and you live in a compound whether it's currently in an active case of pows in $1000.00 even an asymptomatic case the entire residential compound will still be in lockdown and people are still confined to their homes but for the rest of the city for those areas that are declared to be virus free businesses are up and running again restaurants and walls are open the subway has been running for a few days now but of course there are important caviar's for example you have to have your mobile phone have to stand pretty much everywhere you go to let the authorities know where you have been to track your activity and movement in case the. case is discovered they can find exactly where you've been and also as is with the rest of china and public areas you're expected to wear a mosque and temperature checks will be taken pretty much everywhere you go katrina thank you very much for that update katrina you is our correspondent in beijing to the us now in voting as ended in the wisconsin presidential primary which went ahead despite the coronavirus endemic the state is a 1st in the u.s. to hold a major vote since stay at home orders were implemented the vote only went ahead after last minute ruling in the supreme court results aren't expected until next week let's speak to john hendren in chicago about this john a lot of people try to stop this election from going forward how did it go and what can we expect from the results. well foley maybe a charitable way to put it is chaotic other people have been calling this election a number of different things one of them is undemocratic and other is irresponsible undemocratic because the way it was carried out there will be a number of people whose votes alternately probably will not be counted irresponsible because the republican legislature in order to gain an advantage in this election forced people to go out in the rain exposing themselves to the coronavirus by gathering together in order to hold this in person election today you spoke about people trying to stop that that that happened yesterday when the governor tony even has issued a declaration he's a democrat saying this vote cannot go forward the state supreme court countermanded him say yes it will you don't have the authority to do that and then the u.s. supreme court weighed in saying in fact you can't even allow people to send in mail in ballots after election day which is today that had been something a lower court had agreed to the deal is that republicans seem to be betting that their voters being more rural were not likely to stay home because of the voting places they'd have to go to wouldn't be so crowded but in places like milwaukee the biggest city in wisconsin where mostly democrats seem to be voting. there were enough people to go to the polling places there were 180 polling places but they could only open 5 of them in a city where about 300000 people were voting some by mail some not so people stood out in the rain and they complained that they had to do this but they stood out there in huge numbers so ultimately we find out in about a week what happens that's because we're going to wait for those mail in votes which have to be postage stamps today on tuesday. but in the end probably not so much drama about who wins in the democratic primary it's between bernie sanders joe biden joe biden was about 20 points ahead in most polls but republicans really pressed to have this go forward because they've got a lot of local lections that they were hoping to win and for them this is a general election thank you for that
