S. Death count by 17 percent to more than 26000 thank you all very much struck figures that not even the president s action against the World Health Organization can distract from mike hanna out of Washington Well the United Nations says this is the worst possible moment to cut funds to the World Health Organization and sentiments that have been echoed by many around the world china for example urging washington to fulfill its obligations beijing says the decision to cut funding will affect all countries remain as we heard trump accuse the agency of favoring china as the world battled the virus the European Union its saying theres no jurisdiction justification i should say for the decision at this moment when their efforts are needed more than ever and germany says strengthening the World Health Organization is one of the best investments our diplomatic editor james is now open about early on this story from the United Nations in new york james its classic trump if he doesnt like something he pulls the United States out of it how is the United Nations responded. Well i think there was shock and exasperate among those here at the u. N. And as you heard around the world at this time the time the 1st time in a century got a global plan pandemic and we only have one technical medical agency that is designed to coordinate the world at a time of a Global Pandemic and it is the World Health Organization i think people are a little bit mused as well about his reasons for attacking the World Health Organization he says because there were not tough enough on china but you just as you heard in mikes report need to look at President Trumps own comments on china and hes not been tough on china yes i think there are legitimate criticisms of the World Health Organization and of the u. N. System and its definitely clear to me that china is getting a growing role increasing role in not just the World Health Organization but all parts of the u. N. System but many observers will say thats for one clear reason and thats because the Current Us Administration ceded that role theyve been playing america 1st and as a result have not been involved as previous administrations have deeply in multilateral affairs. James usually when we talk to you about u. N. Issues it is quite often to do with conflicts around the world conflicts which carry on regardless of a pandemic. However can you take us through these moves by various countries to perhaps try to end those at least temporarily whilst the world fights coronavirus. Well we have actually seen behind the scenes separate from what President Trump has done in recent hours some positive developments a lot of criticism that theres been no Global Leadership really since this crisis started every nation fending for themselves what im told by the scene was at the g. 20 of the g. 7 which is currently chaired by President Trump will have a Virtual Meeting in the next 24 hours theres been quite a lot of work done told theres a communique ready to be released tomorrow by the g 7 with some concrete proposals in it so thats good news here at u. N. Headquarters of course as you say conflicts are dealt with by the main body that deals with peace and security internationally the u. N. Security council theyve taken a great deal of time to respond to the Current Situation in part because of just getting technical arrangements for them to meet theyve never had a situation where theyd have to meet virtually before this the secretary general and tony guitarist came out with the idea of a global cease fire that has caused some problems behind the scenes for the Security Council and there are all sorts of little spats going on with the idea of a resolution early on certainly there was a dispute between the u. S. And china because the u. S. At that point was wanting any resolution to call it the wu hand virus those i think have been solved and it looks like in the coming days the u. N. Security council might be able to come up with a joint statement a resolution we think that could be passed by all 15 members not calling i dont think for the phrase a global sees via but calling for a cease fire in all the conflicts that are on the Security Councils agenda and that would be quite something wouldnt it thank you james bays our diplomatic editor in new york. Well a virus now appears to be spreading fast in Russia Health authorities there have recorded a 4th day of rise in new infections more than 3300. 00 cases reported bringing the total there close up to 25000 the russian government said have been at least 198 deaths as well meanwhile top e. U. Leaders are calling for Member States to Work Together before easing any lockdown measures European Commission issued a number of recommendations and warns that moving too quickly could have devastating effects lets check on that story with lawrence lee following events from london on that point 1st of all you and i spoke earlier about perhaps the lack of cohesion there have been amongst European Countries and how they want to fight this does this represent some sort of change. Well yes i think i think very much it does come also to be honest with you if you call to mind back a few weeks when there was a very panicked response among any number of European Countries closing the borders unilaterally heavily criticised by the European Union for not sharing protective equipment particularly to the hospitals italy and spain it undermines the whole point of the European Union doesnt it because it relies on open movement of goods and people between countries the Single Markets its a very practical as well as philosophical idea of the European Union and the whole thing started to fall apart of the scenes and so you can see what theyre trying to do in the European Commission really is to get back on the front foot and make it look like theyre in charge events pushing forward the idea of european unity and so the plan effectively is in several parts 1st of all to have this summit in 8 days time which finally having been said about it for a month anyway they agree a budget which will last for several years and is likely to be enormous and will underwrite any sort of attempt by the European Union to recover even if it can get the Single Market going in the short term what theyre desperate to do that there wont be a v. Shaped recovery one goes straight back up but what are desperate to avoid is what they call an l. Shape where all the way down then just flatlines across the bottom for months and months a month so clearly that demands a whole load of money to underwrite the economies particular countries like italy and spain which are which are really. Really having a problem but unpoliced that theyre starting to ease very very slowly the law measures in a number of Different Countries in different ways denmark schools are going back austria shops are opening spain construction started and so theyre trying very gradually to see if they can engineer a situation where country after country can get back a little bit at the time and slowly very slowly try to get the idea back that the borders might become a little bit more porous and you could move goods very carefully between countries and start to get the Single Market going again i was going to take a very long time but this is the European Commission basically trying to get on top of events. Lawrence quick word on rush if you wouldnt mind i mentioned the numbers before it is a comparatively lower death rate but the infection rate is increasing can you put that into context versus someone who lived and worked in the country for many years and i needed yeah no snowshoe i mean the death rate is curiously low given the high number of cases a lot of doctors say that people in their in their homes and its and its massively undercounts its a massive problem for russia on various levels the states the people of Public Health loads of smokers massive alcoholism these are all underlying conditions which are very dangerous to the virus secondly a massive reliance on moscow as a capital as a driver of the economy for 10 percent the whole population the russian lives in moscow its all locked down the economy is a lot of trouble. That the way in which people are trying to go to work there is pushing them to get a seal which will make the virus even worse but the other bigger problem for russia in economics is its almost total reliance on oil as a driver of its economy and of course because oil is now at historically low prices people arent flying people talk about the speed being the worst year ever for the oil industry then thats going to be very very difficult of a russia as a country to sustain because all of the right of the common thank you are in play for those updates from london. Now one european country that took a different approach to responding to the pandemic is sweden it resisted the strategy of putting the nation on lockdown but now it is reporting a sharp rise in corona virus deaths another 114 confirmed on tuesday which was up from 20 the previous day overall about 11000 people have tested positive and more than a 1000 have died in sweden in malmo and says theres been some questions about whether this more relaxed approach is the right 1. 1 of the concerns is that the the mortality rate is twice in sweden what it is in denmark the Health Agency says well that taking a different approach than you think is sustainable that they think will serve them better in the long term thats based on 2 pill is really one of them is that 10 years ago here they had a large scale pandemic simulation. Which is largely a policy this time around and the 2nd is based on Actual Experience pandemics have hit sweden before and one of the 8 particular peculiarities of sweden is that although it has population concentrations house a lot of isolated places as well and in previous pandemics those places were extremely isolated because transport wasnt what it is today and they notice thought when the 2nd wave of a pandemic hits those areas who are really ravaged because they havent had any buildup of immunity in the 1st wife now thats no consolation for the the people who have family members friends. As more than a 1000 and sweden has recognized its failed to protect people properly in elderly homes a huge number of deaths there and also the Somali Community and the rink be area of stock i suppose what american viewers would say is a project have a very high number of deaths that there are people who have been badly affected well only know in the coming months as other countries open up whether this relaxed approach has been correct or not.

The latest developments across the world with the corona virus pandemic donald trump 1st of all suspending u. S. Funding for the World Health Organization<\/a> he says the agency mishandled its initial response to the pandemic critics though say trump is just a blame for his own failures. For the 4th straight day russias reported a recorded teddy rise in new infections more than 3300 new cases confirmed. And swedens report of the sharp rise in corona virus deaths as well another 114 confirmed on tuesday up from just 20 the previous day about 11000 people are tested positive and more than a 1000 have done it. The International Energy<\/a> agency is warning Oil Producers<\/a> that no cuts in output can fully offset the recent falls in the market the agencys forecast a drop in demand of 9300000 barrels a day and since oil demand for april will fall to a 25 year low the Worlds Largest<\/a> oil producer is a. To their biggest kept in awe put in history on sunday amid this folding demond its. In addition to this the Saudi Oil Giant<\/a> around co is seeking 10000000000. 00 in loans to buy a major Chemical Company<\/a> wants a 70 percent stake in Saudi Basic Industries<\/a> coal just currently owned by saudi arabias Sovereign Wealth Fund<\/a> according to reuters the acquisition is a crucial part of iran because future expansion plans the oil giant rise billions of dollars last year with a record breaking on the stock market however Oil Producers<\/a> have been struggling with as we mentioned before this plunge and demand for crude because of coronavirus try to put a list together now with stephen in a c is the chief Global Market<\/a> strategist for x. Equal Pay Financial Services<\/a> company and hes in bangkok nice to have you with us Stephen Holmes<\/a> do you think pull those 2 things together for me if you would the idea of falling demand a company like aramco needing to look elsewhere but then saying looking for loans billions of dollars in loans to buy a Chemical Company<\/a> yet doesnt make a lot of sense you know obviously from the business side of the equation aramco needs to become as dominant a gas as it is today in crude oil and Petroleum Products<\/a> and i think this is a push for the diversification yet boy the timing couldnt be any worse really were sort of knocking on wall street banks stores pretty much at the end of the line here because they think could be front run by the Airline Industry<\/a> and apply through the u. S. Oil producers and it is just a bad time all around to be trying to ask for money in the markets right now when banks are a locked in to land especially in asset class such as oil where prices are just continue to plummet so aramco and saudi arabia as an extension feeling the pressure here the end of this situation of being a you know an almost one commodity economy. Very much so you know the lack of petrodollars has really devastated not only the economy but the markets there is some hope here that you know this huge amount of support that aramco is offering Public Investment<\/a> funds here to take a good chunk savak off their hands is going to buttress the markets this is also a bit of a problem in the markets are looking this is to be a bit of an intervention and perhaps a sign of worse to come but that certainly without that support the markets could quite could topple quite severely in saudi arabia and thats a big concern for Global Market<\/a>s what about the cuts in production something saudi arabia was involved with along with russia and so many other players they will point to it as taking their biggest production cost in history which was a major move do you feel under the current circumstances in this environment that it will be effective you know really its just an epic proportion cut but if you look at the prices in oil right now you wouldnt think there was a Production Cut<\/a> on i think its just sort of highlights the amount of demand devastation thats a result of the coven 1000. 00 look were talking im president to the levels of demand cuts here and this is just a huge problem obviously 10000000. 00 per just under 10000000. 00 barrels were pretty out of the market certainly not going to leave what is now looking to be closer to about a 30. 1000000 Barrels Per Day<\/a> demand ever stations thats quite severe those numbers just dont add up to me it suggests that the oil tanks are going to fill up a lot quicker and when that happens then its going to be a race to the bottom for oil prices stephen pleasure to talk to you thank you for all your information and expertise there Stephen Innes<\/a> thanks for having me. The south korean president in and his ruling party is projected to win a majority in the parliamentary election thats despite the pandemic voter turnout was the highest in decades robin bride has more on that and the latest exit polls and salt. This was always seen i think as a referendum on how president moon j. N. Has handled the coronavirus outbreak regardless of any other issues that have been around at the moment he has been high in the given a high Approval Rating<\/a> and that does seem to be reflected now in the results we the polls have all now closed we are getting the 1st exit polls coming through and they do predict that moon j. N. Will secure his party the Democratic Party<\/a> will secure a majority of seats in the National Assembly<\/a> well over 50 percent now given the alliances with some smaller parties in the parliament then that could turn into and more than 60 percent of seats which is an important threshold here because that means then you have more of an effective working with charity you can overcome things like filibusters and so on which is important for moving jay and he still has 2 years as president left to run he can be a far more effective leader and push through bills that he still wants to get through so it is good for him it is also i think good in a wider context for south korea they have managed against advice from many not to stage the election they have staged an election a reminder of the world that we used to live in before the coronavirus came along and hopefully for Many South Koreans<\/a> a reminder of the normal see that now this outbreak seems to be under control they are returning to we have seen a big turnout here they are still counting all of the final votes but it looks like weve got a turnout of in excess of 65 percent which already makes this the biggest election weve had here for a couple of decades the International Monetary<\/a> fund the i. M. F. Is predicting the worlds worst economic downturn for generations and latin america it says will be one of the worst hit regions a pandemic could set back more than 50 years of growth and relative stability in america and tennessee newman has more from santa.
