Said that the evidence suggests that nationwide were at the peak on new cases whats your evidence for that where the numbers well all were doing is looking at the numbers were looking at our graphs were looking at our models were getting a great response from deborah and from tony and from many of the professionals that are working we have great professionals working with us and i think based on that where were doing very well based on that it looks like were headed absolutely in the right direction but some states are looking at other states and theyre saying i cant imagine what theyre going through because theyre not in that position theyre in very good shape i would say that we have 20 states at least but you really have 29 that are an extremely good shape you have others that are getting much better and i think with almost a few exceptions you have every state that is either doing better or on the way to doing better yet place. That one on your threat to adjourn or. Circuit adjourned congress clearly had the power article 2 section 3 but that be quite radical to do earlier last month you were in the office talk about now is not the time for partisanship how will that act lower the partisanship in this town and could it potentially hinder your ability to get something done on coronavirus it is its look its been a very partisan government for a long period of time not just the cid ministration you can go back until the last 2 administrations youve seen a lot of partisanship and even now you would think that we wouldnt have as an example with the paycheck plan and thats going so well its so smooth so beautiful almost without a hitch all of that money is being distributed to Small Businesses theyre giving it to their employees its keeping them ready viable so when we open and now its been so good that its almost depleted and we want to replenish it and we cant get the democrats to approve it and thats a program that they and everybody else admit that are great so you do have partisanship. We have been trying for years to get people approved for positions people have left one man left a law firm one man left a big chain to get was a very successful executive he left it was 2 years ago we have people that have been waiting for 3 years and we cant get them approved by the democrats in the senate because it taking so long to approve our judges now i have to tell you that im totally in favor of what mitch is doing with judges because thats always seems to be a priority and its a very important priority i think its one of the great trademarks of this administration weve approved Record Numbers of federal judges and appellate judges and 2 Supreme Court judges but rather than approving somebody whos highly qualified somebody that Everybody Knows is going to be approved rather than going quickly they take the maximum amount of time whatever the time may be and what theyre doing by doing that is taking days to approve somebody that could be approved in a quick vote people that get phenomenal reviews in committee are going maximum number of hours and what they do is is only so many hours a day now we could have said lets stay i would have been in favor of that they didnt choose to do it but i have a very strong power id rather not use that power but we have way over 100 people that we very badly need in this administration that should have been approved a long time ago and one of them is the head of voice of america if you look at what theyre doing and what theyre saying about our country its a disgrace the people that are running that we have somebody thats really good really talented and that loves our country and i want to get these people approved thats one of many we have professionals sonny youve been waiting for how long have you been waiting for the man that were talking about coming in. To any of yours. Yes so sonny perdue just happens to be here talking about Something Else so youve been waiting for one of the most important positions as secretary of agriculture is the position its distribution we needed now were talking about shelves were talking about cupboards he needs it hes been waiting he didnt know hes going to get this question youve been waiting 2 and a half years the person is exceptional that person left a very good job and its embarrassing to me hell say do you think youll get that man to prove hes been saying that to me for a long time its because of the democrats and what were doing is and i think anybody here would do it judges are a priority a federal judge is going to sit for 50 years potentially young judge going to be sitting 5th thats always going to have to be a priority but because theyre taking so much time in approving every theyre trying to put us through the mill thats when you talk about partisanship and its never ever happened before you can look at every administration in the history of this country nobody nobody has ever had hundreds of people not approved after 3 and a half years ago have placed a timeline for that though if if congress doesnt. Have a day go i theyve been warned and they were being warned right now if they dont approve it that were going to go this route and well probably be challenged in court and well see who wins but when the court hears that we are getting people approved as sunny would say for 2 and a half years for an important position that we need because of this crisis we needed these people before but now we really need these people. Because our though back to the numbers i can you talk about the numbers the jobless claims are going to come out tomorrow its like we around 5000000 more americans. Putting their names in front of climate benefits but yet there are still a couple 1000 people as well dying a day because a crowd of virus we talk about opening up the American Economy at least in parts now how do you balance that decision allan given both of those figures who. We are there has to be a balance you know theres also death involved in keeping a close and ive gone over this with you and i believe the so strongly when you look at Mental Health when you look at suicide its suicide hotlines who which are exploding people losing their jobs when you look at drugs and people that didnt take drugs and now theyre becoming drug addicted because theyre going through a problem they have no job they have no money coming in other than the money were getting them weve opened up the coffers to a large extent were helping people this is why i wish the democrats would help us a little bit with it because they should its purely partisan what theyre doing and its bad for a country but but you know there is death by doing by having this strongly closed country we have to get back to work with all of that being said were going to start with states and with governors that have done a great job and theyre going to open it up as they see fit and were going to be right behind them and we were going to be working were going to be supplying them with things if they dont have a we want them to have a were going to be helping them with ventilators after this is over so that they can say oh the federal government we want them to have theyve had a lot of options many of the governors have had a lot of options over the years to buy ventilators that in jews to do it so were going to be helping them to fill up their stockpiles were going to have plenty. And as i said im very proud to do it were going to be helping other nations were going to be helping italy spain france other day should see that were going to be helping them strongly i think russia is going to need ventilators have a hard time in moscow were going to help them were going to help other countries that need ventilators were going to have a lot you see it with General Motors you see it with other companies that are producing were going to have hundreds of thousands of ventilators and its a great thing to have us in the back. Is anybody freezing you know its very cold out here. We can leave early right. Ahead placing why are we doing for the world of violence only 4 percent of the worlds population but you know what you have do you think youre getting honest numbers from some of these countries do you really believe those numbers in this vast country called china and that they have a certain number of cases a certain number of that does anybody really believe that his a story we report everything were reporting the cases in our reporting is good were reporting every death in fact i see this morning where new york added 3000 deaths because they died and then now saying rather than it was a heart attack theyre saying it was a heart attack caused by this so theyre at it. If you look at it thats it and everything we have is documented reported and what they are doing is just in case theyre calling it this and thats ok thats ok but we are we have more cases because we do more reporting we have more cases because everything is down but does anybody really believe the numbers of some of these countries and youve been watching and youve been reporting on it and then its like they didnt have the big thing there have been some really really bad her heavenly and really some countries that are in big big trouble. And theyre not reporting the facts and thats up to them all i know is we report the facts and were a country thats Getting Better john go ahead mr president multiple sources are telling fox news today that the United States government now has high confidence that while the corona virus is a naturally occurring virus it emanated from a variety lab in we were on that because of lack safety protocols and in turn was infected who later infected her boyfriend and then went to the wet market and move on where it began to spread does that correspond with what you have heard from well i dont want to say that john but i will tell you more and more were hearing the story and well see when you say multiple sources though theres a case where you can use the word sources but we are doing a very thorough examination of this so horrible situation that happened good place in your many conversations with president xi mr president did you ever discuss with him state department concerns about lack safety protocols that had been reported to the state department from the embassy in beijing about that laboratory i dont want to discuss what i talked to him about the laboratory i just dont want to discuss its inappropriate right now please go ahead the back to now be a fund settle on a strategy have there been calls in our country full of Prime MinisterScott Morrison to make funding for w. H. O. Conditional on reforms to the organization i wanted to get your thoughts on that and if you had any advice mr marson look i feel very badly about the World Health Organization but its been a tool of china its been as i say totally china centric you take a look at everything thats happened theyve been wrong i was all for it at the beginning what do i know i wept and i said World Health Organization isnt that wonderful and then you start to see all the mistakes they didnt want us to close our borders to china to woo han. Specifically that it won our borders close you take a look mike was there were all there and theyre criticizing me for closing the border i did that very early by the way i did that very early well nancy pelosi was trying to havent said francisco parties in chinatown because they see thought it would be great you want to show that this thing doesnt exist these are people at a we have some politicians on the other side that dont know what theyre doing if you look im like you going to look at some timelines but the world the World Health Organization just like the World Trade Organization im telling you i call them they have been treating the United States for decades so badly and theyve been so in favor of china china took off when it joined the World Trade Organization because of whats happened think of it theyre considered a developing nation and because theyre a diverse and were not but were developing nation 2 in my book ok were developing too but the fact is we have been treated so badly by these organizations and believe me im look at that one do well winning a lot of lawsuits right now that we never won before in the past were winning a lot of money that we never won in the past thats where the world trade but with the World Health Organization whats happened there is a disgrace his the other things we pay 400. 00 to 500000000. 00 a year china is paying 3839. 00 and 40000000. 00 a year and its like they control this group i could do that too if i want to devote full time to it or have some very capable people dealing with dr ted wrists ok i could do it too i could do very well with that but theres something going on something going on thats very bad now the 500000000. 00 that we save will determine were going to make a determination over a little period of time. But theyre going to either have to make massive changes already even if theyre going to be able to do that or were going to give money to people we want to help people you know what we do in africa with aids people have no idea what we do and the money we spent we were talking about it the other day dr we are spending billions of dollars to help people in the case of one that dr burke says very much involved in a tz billions of dollars and you know what its a great thing nobody talks about it nobody gives us credit we do that and we do it very directly but were spending billions of dollars to help people live. All over the world but were spending 500000000. 00 to the World Health Organization and theres something very bad going on and you know what ive gotten very much involved its been going on for a long period of time and we dont want to be the suckers anymore so its cold out we will talk to them a big day tomorrow very briefly. Would you change your mind if youre just joining us that is of course u. S. President donald trump whos just speaking been speaking in the rose garden outside the white house just running through what hes had to say he said that america is now past the peak of new infections and that he will be announcing details on the reopening of state soon this is of course despite a Record Number of deaths in the u. S. 2300 americans have been killed in just the past 24 hours President Donald Trump also spoke about him having the ability of the authority to overrule governors in the decision to reopen businesses to get the economy really open to the end we are expecting in about 24 hours or so to hear more about the guidelines for states to be reopening across the United States of America Donald trump also doubled down on criticism of the w. H. O. Calling it china centric and saying that time is not paying enough towards the w. H. O. The u. S. Is the largest single donor to the World Health Organization and on wednesday yesterday donald trump announced that the u. S. Is pulling funding from the w. H. O. Temporarily at least but that will be reviewed i believe now we do have mike hanna standing by for us in washington d. C. Mike if you can hear us i believe youve been listening to that press conference from President Donald Trump he says that the worst is over from coronavirus in the u. S. And that states and chomping at the bit to reopen what else did he have to say. Well there was an extraordinary passage in that News Conference when President Trump went off into political areas well away from the coronavirus in which he moaned very strongly about the fact that hes got a number of political appointees nominees who are not being passed through congress and in an extraordinary threat he threaten to Adjourn Congress and then during the recess to push through the nominees that he wants to enter government this is absolutely unprecedented and its certainly going to cause an absolute political storm among congressional members. Mike on that point of his ability to Adjourn Congress i believe he was challenge on that but maintained steadfastly that he does have the ability to do that talk to us also about there has been the starship between the federal government and individual governors about who has the greatest or thoresby in terms of reopening each state what did President Trump have to say about that. Well firstly many observers are saying that the president is stamping all over the constitution of this particular country you mention the issue of him insisting that he has the power to determine what happens in each of the 50 states he repeated that in terms of the news briefing saying that he can do what he wants to do in terms of imposing timelines on the states for example to lift the restrictions well most legal experts insist that he does not have that constitutional power in fact completely the opposite that its up to the governance of the states to rule over their own areas and that is in fact a constitutional provision you cannot have the executive stamping over the rights of the states it is once again completely against the basic principle of the separation of powers on which the constitution is in this country is based now that is exactly the same issue that hes attempting to do now with congress you stepping outside the contents constitution many legal observers would comment and indeed the threat to Adjourn Congress is absolutely unprecedented as i said president acknowledge this saying there oh well this is probably going to go to the courts but then well see whos going to win so basically the president clearly throwing away a constitutional provisions that have guided administrations for hundreds of years and in terms of the coronavirus pandemic some would argue that hes using this to push through extraordinary political powers that go far beyond what the framers of the constitution meant now the issue of the governors once again very relevant because of the time line that President Trump wants to establish weve heard him once again saying that in the coming 24 hours his administration will publish guidelines for a gradual easing of restrictions in a number of states hes saying 20 to 30 states restrictions can be eased possibly even he maintain. Before the end of the month now this is something that governors in certain states are absolutely opposed to particularly the hot zones such as new york state such as illinois where the pandemic still rages very very strongly President Trumps own Health Experts have expressed caution about any premature lifting of the restrictions in place saying that this could lead to a diary expect a spike in cases of the pandemic in areas perhaps that have not been so badly hit at this particular point so its a very contentious issue the president s basically saying that if the governors dont do what he says that he will force them to do so the governors absolutely adamant republican and democrat incidentally that it is up to them to decide on any timelines about whether or when to lift the restrictions imposed during this pandemic and might we shouldnt fail to mention that the u. S. Has the highest number of coronavirus cases in the world and the highest number of deaths the there was a record in terms of the daily death toll today 2371 people died now the death toll across the u. S. Stands at more than 30000 and still donald trump is doubling down on his criticism of the World Health Organization the role its been playing in this pandemic. Indeed yes and let us face criticism for from congress particularly democratic members of congress who are arguing once again that this is a constitutional issue he does not have the constitutional right to be able to block funding that has already been passed by congress in fact to many in Congress Point out the fact that he was impeached on this particular principle with regard to ukraine where he blocked funding to ukraine which had already been approved by congress to the scene as a complete insult to congress but importantly stamping all over the constitutional provisions that give congress certain powers give the executive certain powers President Trump or simply fusing the 2 so once again we have this particular issue of him threatening to withhold funding from the debris hero being criticized not only on moral grounds Democratic Leaders saying very strongly that this is not the time to cut funding to an organization that is on the forefront of the country in the spread of the pandemic but also on a constitutional point quite simply president does not have the constitutional power to block funding that congress has already approved so if we layer within the span demick can be efforts to counter the pandemic we are coming across these constitutional issues that President Trump continues to press the boundaries of what can be done or what cant be done by the executive of the United States michael got about a minute before the the end of the hour just want us through what the plan is a what Donald Thomas told us about the plan in terms of a Coronavirus Task force to tell us about the reopening of the country what is the plan. Well thats not quite sure who is the membership of this task force he did say that new guidelines are going to be issued within the next 24 hours and we do know that hes taken a lot of advice from Corporate Leaders from big business all of whom have been very keen to reopen the economy as soon as possible to look prescriptions where possible in order for economic regeneration to begin on the other hand this being the medical experts who say that any privileges lifting of these restrictions could result in a consequence spike of the at the demick president from a comparatively navigating his way between these 2 particular poles falling down the on the issuing new guidelines on the advice perhaps of medical professionals certainly on the advice of economic advisors and that we will know in the next 24 hours thank you that mike headed there from washington d. C. To stay with the karen alger there are have more on this development at the top of the hour. The. Man mine is on trial from rape to genocide the government stands accused of committing atrocities against the range of people one on one is to investigate on aljazeera.

The centuries it was the remoteness of brazils indigenous communities that protected them from the rapacious outside walls now its what shields those who are encroaching on protected Indigenous Territory starting fires and threatening the residents of the county who would not had their 1st contact with the outside walls in 1978 and one. Catchy good to king and they tonight which translated for us into portuguese remembers it well she says they brought diseases that decimated the community that kept but that. We had a lot of land and we lived peacefully really with fear that are very few firsts the invaders are coming closer its difficult to gauge why a place so remote so tranquil should not so so much to the rest of the walls Indigenous People who live here have always realized it but now as the smoke fills the skies and the ashes pollute the river the rest of the world is beginning to realize it too. Its the u. K. s biggest hospital with the eventual capacity for 4000 covered 19 patients built inside a London Conference Center it took just 9 days to construct with the help of Army Engineers dramatically expanding the Critical Care bed count and other similar sites are underway the actual london numbers could be much higher than advertised researches say that huge gaps in Testing Capacity that the government is now trying to close extrapolate that across the country and the spread of corona virus appears far wider than anyone thought.
