To filipino seafarers facing an uncertain future. The u. N. Is warning the pandemic is having an a devastating impact on Indigenous People well beyond that the immediate threat to their health. And research is Prime Minister stepped down after months of pressure related to the killing of his exwife. In School Professional rugby players in new zealand on the Training Field we report on the countrys efforts to secure its National Schools financial future. Now there will be an independent investigation into the World Health Organizations handling of the current virus pandemic the move by Member States comes as economic powers the u. S. And china continue to engage in a war of words over the outbreak thats now killed more than 300. 00. 1000 people china accuses the u. S. Of avoiding responsibility and shifting the blame for its mishandling of the crisis to present on trump threaten to permanently hope funding to the w. H. O. That means the agency would lose its single largest contributor the u. S. Gives more than 400000000. 00 a year trying to shoot the threats in the letter to the head of the organization which he then posted on twitter in it he accuses the w. H. O. Of mistakes and in action he writes it is clear the repeated missteps by you and your organization in responding to the pandemic have been extremely costly for the wilds he also says officials backed china saying the only way forward for the World Health Organization is if it can actually demonstrate independence he then ends the lesser demanding major changes to the Organization Trump writes if the World Health Organization does not commit to major substantial improvements within the next 30 days i will make my temporary freeze of u. S. Funding to the World Health Organization permanent while the us president also accuses china of being partly responsible for the w. H. S. Actions and i think theyve done a. Very sad job in the list 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. I mean war the u. S. Tries to use china as an issue to shirk responsibility and bargain over its International Obligations to the w. H. O. This is a miscalculation and the u. S. Has picked the wrong target and they were in there. The u. S. Leaders open later is full of hints perhaps and maybe tries to use specious methods to mislead the public and achieve the goals of smearing chinas anti virus if its an shoot responsibility for the United States on insufficient response this is futile. Well get reaction from our White House Correspondent can be held at very shortly but fast to london with us a baker has more from the w. H. O. As i knew assembly as a lets start with this resolution that were hearing about now no objections it seems to this independent inquiry. Yes thats quite remarkable considering the turn 4 weve been having over the dalles so the accusations been labeled at the devolved Health Organization and the politics been take that there were no objections that this was cosponsored by over 100 countries but it was put forward by the European Union now initially when a stray you had suggested a resolution calling for International Investigation china had responded angrily saying that that was targeted at them but this time china didnt object to neither did the United States and the resolution calls for an independent impartial and comprehensive evaluation and review into how the World Health Organization dealt with the pandemic and the results she will be reported at next years World Health Organization assembly now whats also important is that this text included within that resolution that says that they will look into the zoonotic source of the virus and how it got from animals to humans and that is something that investigators will be looking at china for and the agreement within that resolution that there will be collaborative field teams that will go out and investigate that said despite the seeming unity on this resolution there is this escalating blame game spat between not only the u. S. And china but also the u. S. And the w. H. O. Isnt clear exactly what the u. S. Wants the w. H. O. To do here. No its not clear at all and no one is clear in terms of what President Donald Trump wants the World Health Organization to do its not clear what he wants them to do over the next 30 days after threatening to permanently withdraw that funding that the accusations against the World Health Organization is that they were didnt want the world quick enough in terms of the risk of human to human transmission well the World Health Organization says that they. Warning in early january a warning of the human crewman to human transfer transmission also the accusation is that the World Health Organization is too close to china and in the evaluate the information that they were getting from china quick enough that the World Health Organization says that they put out a call in the pandemic a Concern International concern one day before the United States partly suspended flights from china so the World Health Organization has been defending itself yesterday the Director Director said that we cant have another organization this is the only one we have a pill for more support and more funded as a bank that for us across all those developments from london thank you i said well lets lets now go to our White House Correspondent candy how it can mean what are we hearing from the white house about all of these escalating tensions. Well we have a statement from the u. S. Mission to the United Nations it is calling for an independent impartial and comprehensive review of the World Health Organization is Pandemic Response and whats important in all of this is that this request is that it be a review that is done in consultation with Member States now is you pointed out the United States is alleging and particularly the u. S. President is alleging that the World Health Organization ignored credible reports of the virus spreading inside will han outside in december now we should point out that a Peer Reviewed medical journals its highly respected here in the United States called the lancet has said that this is factually incorrect still this is the assertion of the u. S. President who is looking for someone to blame for the fact that the u. S. Economy has been a blitter rated as a result of coronavirus hitting the United States and we should also note that when it comes to the president s threats they should be taken seriously weve seen this time and time again including with china the trade war that is in many ways devastated some aspects of the u. S. Economy the u. S. President continued to hike up tariffs against china bringing its goods into the United States in order to achieve structural change something that he was partially successful in doing in the promise that he made on the campaign trail so the view of this president philosophically from the beginning is always been the american taxpayer is not getting its moneys worth in other words the United States is the biggest donor to the World Health Organization it he feels that it was owed more in terms of being prepared for this pandemic again having enormous financial consequences so we knew this was coming the u. S. President said in april look at suspending the money for 60. 00 days now hes put a tight timeline on that for making it permanent saying that look we need this review done in the next 30 days or in pulling the funding all together and well be hearing from kimberly later on in the show about what donald trump has been saying about other things as well but for now thank you very much company.
