Cousin and billionaire businessman. Activists in argentina call on the government for help after more than a 1000 coronavirus cases are reported in the one asserting. Plus the millions are evacuated from india. Bangladesh ahead of what could be the most powerful cycling in 20 years. All right in the United States is facing growing a growing backlash over its threat to personally hold funding to the show that softer President Donald Trump said the organizations missteps have come a time extreme cost. And 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 nicely but theyre a puppet of china well russia has become the latest global power to condemn trump threats as Deputy Foreign minister has been quoted as saying its against breaking the w. H. O. For another members of political preferences china accuse the u. S. Of attempting to avoid responsibility for the handling it was an outbreak that trumps remarks were meant to criticize chinas response efforts made 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 maybe. The u. S. Leaders open later is full of hints perhaps and maybes and 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 all this comes as Member States voted for an independent investigation into the direction its response to the pandemic and thats something the head of the organization has welcomed amid criticism from donald trump well lets well get really reaction from the White House Press when can we get shortly but 1st lets cross to outside back whos in london with more on all of this so i said 1st of all this this resolution for an inquiry at one unanimous support. Yes remarkably good considering all the public politics thats been going on over the last 2 days no objections from the 194 members involved but it didnt always seem like that because a stray had initially proposed an International Investigation into the origins of the virus not that had upset china and there was a diplomatic spat between the 2 countries that didnt name china specifically but beijing thought calling for International Investigation into the origins was targeting them now this particular resolution is put forward by the European Union it was cosponsored by around 244. 00 Member States and it calls for an independent impartial and comprehensive evaluation of the International Response to the virus including but not limited to w hey chose performance may also includes text that calls for an investigation into this you next week source of the virus and its and its transmission from animals to humans and that no doubt will look at china which has been the source of the virus not the w. H. O. Director general dr ted ross has said that he welcomes investigation and he will initiate it at the earliest appropriate moment so you know mr approval for an inquiry the United States or donald trump at least is demanding to come up with something within 30 days otherwise funding will be cut. Yes and thats something. The what the w. H. O. Dont know what it is because donald trump has written this letter is given 30 days he hasnt said in that letter what it is that he wants to see in particular the deadly hate dont dont know what he wants but the double hey joe have been defending themselves over the last few months against allegations leveled at them by the United States and they say that they warned of the human to human transmission in early january that the deadly hate show designated virus a. Threat. To the International Community very early on in fact a day before the United States announced a posh ban on flights from china that. Any review will be transparent and accountable but over the last 2 days they have been calling for solidarity and unity which has been reciprocated by many members but theyve also been asking for more funds but now the w. H. O. Are facing threats by from the United States president to cut a large chunk. Of the u. S. President trying to speak here on capitol hill lets listen in. From italy that came out from france it came out from other a lot of our front line workers take it because it possibly and i think it does but you know people are going to have to make up their own mind plus it doesnt hurt people its been out on the market for 60 or 65 years for malaria lupus and other things. I think it gives you an additional level of safety but you can as many doctors are in favor of it many frontline workers wont go there unless they have the hydroxy and so again this is an individual decision to make but its had a great reputation and if it was somebody else other than me people would say gee isnt that smart but we are working on a lot of other things we have. The great medical companies that we have if you look at what theyre doing therapeutically if youre wise and the vaccine itself and the vaccine i think is less important than some of the things theyre working on theyre working on a cure and we have more than one doing it and very advanced theyre working on therapeutics and theyre working on vaccine are has been tremendous theres been tremendous progress really tremendous progress but im going to bring. Out one. Yeah they have. A lot of use and i didnt get involved i purposely said to mitch youd go do what you want take a look were going to look at pfizer but nobodys been abused by pfizer like the president the United States because what the democrats did in the dirty cops the dirty cops the f. B. I. People are great up but you go in there they like donald trump but the top of the f. B. I. They were dirty cops they were crooked bad people and nobodys been abused more than trump but you look at general flynn you look at so many others dutchesse that not just us take a look at so many others look at what theyve done how theyve abused pfizer so im going to be studying it very much but the pfizer process has gone awry it was used by very dishonest people it was used illegally and frankly the judges on the pfizer court should do something about it. And maybe they will and. That are. More well i think on the swing states you said when youre on the flynn case general flynn is a man of Great Respect i was with general milley the head of the joint chiefs of staff the other day i said you know general flynn he said yes i do hes a fine man ive known him for 20 years hes a fine man a great soldier general flynn was treated horribly general flynn was treated illegally these people they broke the law they broke the law what theyve done to general flynn should never happen what theyve done to the presidency and what theyve done to this country can never be allowed to happen again to our country and despite all of that has been done everything thats been done weve had one of the greatest presidencies ever we have never i dont think anybody which i think we can say it with a surety nobodys accomplished what weve accomplished in a relatively short period of time a 3 year period of time nobodys been able to do that when you look at rebuilding our military regulations at a level that nobodys come close to weve cut regulations the biggest tax decrease in history you look at all of the things that weve done all of the things weve done on health care with the individual mandate with preexisting conditions nobody has done anywhere close to what weve done but despite that if you look despite an illegal witch hunt and thats what it was it was a hoax it was a witch hunt the russian thing was a made up fabricated story just like they went to congresswoman kelsey gabbert i dont know or at all and they said youre a russian agent i dont know but i know shes not a russian agent then they went to dr jill stein of the green party they said shes a russian agent i dont know it all i know she is not a russian agent. These people are sick pelosi is a sick woman she got a lot of problems a lot of mental problems were dealing with people that have to get their act together for the good of the country ok thank you very much. Donald trump on capitol hill hill hes there for lunch with republicans and decided to have a little press conference and came out all guns blazing and talking about his use 1st of all of the malarial drug that hes taking as a preventative measure to talk about general flynn who is treated horribly said illegally and broke the law and then he went on about how what they have done to the presidency by they i think he means the democrats and when torn about how it is one of the greatest president s hes ever and so on and so forth lets cross to White House Correspondent kimberly how it can be that was about it really what more can i say. No you summed it up nicely so i think ill mention some of the other comments made by the president before he went to capitol hill with respect to our top story of the World Health Organization because i think its important to mention that the u. S. President s essentially doubling down on his threat to withdraw funding permanently pending this for a view that is now taking place one that we should point out the United States mission to the United Nations says that is one that they support given its impartial independent and comprehensive and they say that theyre interested in as centrally understanding not just the virus but the timeline of what the u. S. President said from the white house just about the last hour or so was that essentially he feels that its time for the World Health Organization to in his words clean up its out he said that his letter detailing his issues with the World Health Organization was detailed and was long but essentially he believes that its unfair to the United States and if that continues hes doesnt want to be involved anymore he feels that he can kind of wield his weight given the fact the United States is the top donor to the organization and he feels that the u. S. Taxpayer did not get what he believes it was promised for in terms of its money in other words hes accusing it and has been accusing the World Health Organization for sometime of not doing enough to prepare or notify the United States of the impending threat and as a result the countrys economy is now obliterated now its important to always remind viewers donald trump is running for reelection he was running on a historically good economy that was obliterated a matter of weeks and hes looking for someone to blame having said that this is standard donald trump playbook we saw this as he negotiated the trade war with china that he has accused china of being unfair to the United States he even inflicted some damage here in the United States on farmers who support him in the sensually sort of decided lets. So short term pain for long term gain he was able to renegotiate at least the 1st part of the trade deal with china essentially its a carry over of his america 1st class for a full 26. 00 team so hes always had a problem with global bodies he feels that theyve been skewed not in the United States favor so the World Health Organization his criticisms of it this is just an extension of that now threatening to make good on the promise that he may pull funding completely if things dont change within 30 days gary great thanks very much indeed for that assessment that things are much i can be how could the white house will play more still ahead on the news hour including the search as Prime Minister steps down off the months of pressure related to the killing of his exwife plus. On the gauge in the australian farming town of crookwell looking at tallinn escalating trade disputes between the government and china is putting out a cultural exports and jobs at risk. At least 120 people have been killed in south sudan and what authorities are describing as a cattle raid between ethnic groups it happened in the Rural Counties in the state cows are often targeted in the country as they are a vital element of wealth the medical Charity Doctors without borders says its holding its services in the region after 2 Staff Members were killed in recent clashes and lets join huber morgan from the sudanese capital of khartoum and say these a lot of cattle was on to an unusual in this part of the world but what more can you tell us about this lets run via. Well nic this violence that broke out over the week and weekend on saturday and sunday between the morally and the lower tribes is more of an escalation of tensions between the 2 tribes it has been going on since february now we understand that it started in february when the morely accused some youth that they say from the lawnmower tribe attacking them and killing at least 10 people and burning villages and there has been a cycle of violence ever since in february and march there was no report of any violence in april but it seems to have escalated further with with what happened over the weekend and the government is saying that over 100 over 120 people have been killed and hundreds more have been wounded but theyre saying that that is the initial death toll and they expect the number to go higher now this is something that has been going on for years if not decades but it has escalated over the past few years with the purification of arms in the region and over the past few months because of a lack of governance in the area a governor is yet to be appointed for journalist date and for People Administrative area greater people are administrative area and the National Government or a Transitional Government of National Unity is saying that the lack of governors being appointed to those areas is making the response very hard however it says that it is going to deploy military in fact it has deployed military to try to end the violence between the 2 tribes so that no more lives are lost in this violence. Situation not least for the workers tell us about the Doctors Without Borders losing to members of still. Yes indeed 2 members of the medical Charity Doctors without borders have been killed and several have been injured but this is not the 1st time that aid workers have been targeted its not clear if in the violence they were targeted because theyre aid workers of they were Collateral Damage for lack of better words but aid organizations have always been careful when such tensions erupt in south sudan the un is yet to respond to the to the violence that has happened there yet to deploy forces to see what has happened and it are going to around south sudan usually are very careful because of the infrastructure of of the country where movement is not as easy as it would be in other parts of the world theres also concerns about the welfare of the Health Workers because in most of violence they are the 1st to be targeted for trying to forward some sides would perceive as aiding the other groups despite the u. N. Saying that the aid workers are not supposed to be targeted and saying that theyre there to help equally so aid workers or Charity Workers have always been very careful when such violence erupts and there have been several instances where weve seen several organizations halting their operations and now were seeing the Charity Doctors without borders halting in its response in the area its not clear when they will be back or about the picture of. Morgan reporting from courtroom thanks very much in the. Recognize government is continuing its offensive against forces loyal to the warlord for her to the west of the major. Oh. Driving through the streets of baghdad and back to Government Forces are showing that they are now in control of the small town southwest of tripoli. But i am not army found. Another victory against warlords highly for half the us forces in less than 24 hours what are. The roads to bed and connect a lot of the air base to other cities they control near the border they retook what they itself on monday a significant loss to have tiles forces who had been using it as their headquarters in western libya since 2014 planes carrying out says strikes against the u. N. Backed government in tripoli throughout from here noted that the for the hard work was no work but this time it wasnt their planes the to cough it was their fighters moving behind some of their ammunition. But tough times spokesman was downplaying this loss bellman. Been pulling out Strategic Equipment and heavy military gear from the base 3 months ago we pulled out the jet fighters and their ammunition and spear parts only yesterday orders were given for personnel to withdraw under cover the withdrawal was successful because we moved the personnel and old weaponry and ammunition we have on planes and we will recapture the. Loss of their air base means have to us forces no longer have a foothold southwest of tripoli and its paved the way for Government Forces to focus on taking back the town who now have started last remaining stronghold in western libya and a crucial supply hub for his forces to parts of the capital theyve suffered major losses in recent weeks. The more than a year long battle to take control of tripoli has killed hundreds of people so facilities have been destroyed at a time when libya is trying to control the corona virus outbreak. As we surveyed the carnage wrought by almost 15 months of unrelenting violence of the year i believe we have reached another turning point in the conflict conflict from what we are witnessing in terms of the massive influx of weaponry the chretiens and mercenaries to the 2 sides the only conclusion that we can draw is that this war will intensify broaden and deepen devastating consequences for the libyan people as the foreign intervention increases the libyans themselves are getting lost in the mess their voices crowded out we must not let live the yes when. I say the balance of power is shifting away from half dollars forces and despite them to say even if its a holiday marking the end of the fasting month of ramadan just around the horn and it looks like there are no plans by the scientists to stop the fighting.

Well its an hour from remy curry whos a senior Public Policy fellow than i dont professor of journalism at the university of beirut and he explains why a 1000 government has turned on mecca the most credible analysis that ive heard from syrians who know the system and have studied syria for years is that as it is passing through a very delicate moment where hes essentially won the war d against the people who try to overthrow him hes trying to do reconstruction and rebuilding his got some upping up to do with it live in other places but hes also got russia and iran looking over his shoulders and there is hopefully they hope theyll be a lot of reconstruction contracts that will also be used to develop more patronage and loyalty hes lost huge amounts of money because of the Regional Economic situation because of the war the pandemics impact the lebanons collapse economically is a big hit so hes got serious serious economic stresses at a moment when he needs a lot of money to start the reconstruction process and reassert his Central Authority over the entire country and his independence from foreign patrons so hes trying to juggle 6 or 7 different balls at the same time and for all of them he needs money.

M. F. Hes generally liked by people in camp when it comes to the army they really havent had to deal with him that much but political analysts say that they think that the army will be neutral and will support him to. Be economy and reviving the Agricultural Sector and to mention poor people in the suit to try to get a better life once he is in power to buy any of the sudden resignation as such he says hes retiring because he feels hes too old to leave but many people in the city know that hes under a lot of questions faced when it comes to his being allegedly involved in allegedly involved in the murder of his former wife or ill go on this court case of his he had approached the Constitutional Court and he lost them to basically say that because he was a sitting Prime Minister he should not be charged for his alleged involvement in the murder of his former wife but now thats going to change once and Prime Minister is sworn in so people will wait and see how that plays out some analysts say the reason why he took so long to resign is the kids he was maybe trying to organize some kind of exit package for him self maybe trying to protect people around him including his current wife.

The Philippine Coast guard is testing thousands of them in manila those who test negative are given clearance and the systems to go back to their communities while those who test positive are turned over to Health Officials but thousands more filipinos are believed to have been stranded abroad at International Ports where they were prevented from this embarking or thorin here at the same time we are your blessing because we will work here your earning money but on the other part of us now we are where we are mission that we are already whole and we are a family now we are waiting for the world will return but the normal the philippines provides a quarter of the workforce of the Global Maritime industry many work in merchant ships ferrying more than 90 percent of global supplies and in the philippines their contribution is invaluable filipino seafarers are the country is most prized exports they send back at least 6000000000. 00 of remittances every year thats about 10 percent of the countrys Gross Domestic Product but those who are returned home say they dont feel as if they are valued instead they have been discriminated against by the very communities they once called home. The street in manila used to be full of aspiring workers looking for jobs and ships overseas now its been reduced to this a place where their dreams for a better life are put to a halt at least for now dugan just here in manila. Now pakistan has launched a program to get emergency funds to people whove lost their jobs because of the pandemic its specifically aimed at people who rely on a daily wage but critics say its too late for many more muslim. Defeated an unprecedented crises and it had hit pakistan ready hard also it should be remembered by august on board already on an i. M. F. Bailout but with the cold 19 that situation and now become worse. Is the impact it will. Have significant so i. Guess. This is my sister in this. Sense. Yeah yeah this is really a Great Initiative of iran khans government and at least we got some money when we needed it the most weve been jobless for the last few weeks and weve had no earnings but there are many others who are sitting on the outer margins of society or people who are illiterate they do not have any formal document to prove that theyre working for all going to nations it did go with people who are more while not everybody and the government of course will have to cater today needed to read it and only be getting much i mean i was hearing sadly im on a daily wage but havent received a single penny from the government theyre only favoring workers from. Needy people its just a few days to 18 we cant even afford to go back home 12 villages and critics will say that the government didnt bring food aid the government also had its own issue and their challenge and of course the global. Don had been hit hard because of its economic woes. So weve been hearing the impact from the coronaviruses already being felt around the World Bank Says some 60000000 people could be pushed into extreme poverty this year to provide some relief the banks Emergency Operations are reached 100 countries since months it says its trying to protect the most Vulnerable People to reinforce Health Systems and to support economic recovery. Really one 3rd of the total projects are in fragile and conflict affected countries including afghanistan chad 80 in these yet the world bank has promised 160000000000. 00 in grants and Financial Support over a 15 month period and that includes medical supplies to countries like pakistan the philippines and iraq well David Malpass is the president of the world bank and earlier you told my colleague news does it take money for the Emergency Program is coming from World Bank Portfolio and will be a mixture of redirected funds and entirely new programs. Its going to vary substantially country by country and the goal is to for the country to state what is most useful for it and then find ways to provide that also i should note there is. Ample the the programs are set up so that there are expandable that means that other at that bilateral donors. Countries with higher incomes can contribute directly through these programs with very little. Very little paperwork involved they get the quality of the World Bank Lending and they can add money to the programs and thats also true of the Multilateral Development banks for example the African Development bank could be adding to these programs to countries that want more more spending to Frontline Health care providers that could be added to by other organizations around the world very very quickly meeting in a matter of days or weeks in this time of as i say that you the while bank along with the i. M. F. Have also been calling for a bilateral debt from the fed the worlds poorest countries and i say the g 20 agreed to a suspension of that debt but thats essentially just a delay and it will have to be repaid at some point while developing countries are then still reeling from this pandemic what are your thoughts on how that should be addressed the 1st step is to have the moratorium work so the countries save cash flow immediately. And that needs to also be expanded to commercial creditors which is something some of the countries are working on and it will be up up to demand too and the world to figure out how that part of the process can work and then i think there ought to be before theres going to be an evaluation of the debt sustainability country by country so it has a country already taken on too much debt for d its. People to be able to pay and so theyll be 2. 00 steps in that one is transparency trying to have more clear disclosure of what those debts are and then moving to the issue of. Whether the moratorium should be extended or made permanent that that can be something for the country for the both the creditor and debtor countries to think about and talk about as the crisis goes on depends somewhat but you know a key step in all of this is the safe reopening of the advanced economies that in many cases is the biggest beneficial step that would occur for the poor countries. Now that the us a Postal Service in desperate need of emergency funding is reported to be reviewing its Package Delivery face president paul trump has long said it should charge Companies Like amazon far more but amazons oh no thats jeff bezos also owns the Washington Post long a focus of trumps attacks she advertising and this report. The Trump Administration has made no secret of its wish to privatized the United States Postal Service or u. S. P. S. And wall street has long coveted the u. S. P. S. Is profitable Revenue Streams now there are suspicions about the pandemic may finally provide them with an opportunity to act its been in the sights of wall street knows it would like the profit from what we call the public commons in the public good of a Postal Service for decades and decades but its intensifying under this current president. The u. S. P. S. Receives no taxpayer funding and without an emergency 89000000000. 00 bailout it says it will be forced to cease operations in a matter of months by comparison the u. S. Is private Airlines Just received a 50 1000000000. 00 bailout package mail has increased but personal and marketing mail has dropped significantly those against the bailout argue that the u. S. P. S. Had been in financial trouble well before the spread of covert 900. 00 due to the rise of email among other factors and it is true last year the u. S. P. S. Is net loss was around 8000000000. 00 but theres a clear reason why the Postal Service is losing so much money in 2006 Congress Mandated that the u. S. P. S. Set aside 72000000000. 00 to cover the healthcare costs of retired postal workers 75 years into the future this isnt a requirement for any other u. S. Entity government or privately held the u. S. P. S. Makes a loss when you include that mandate but without it the u. S. P. S. Would have been able to report operating profits since 2030 mm 10000000000. 00 has already been approved by congress to help the. U. S. P. S. But its being held back by treasury secretary steve nugent reportedly until the u. S. P. S. Raises rates and makes concessions on worker pay and benefits donald trump however has made aid contingent on raising Package Delivery prices on Companies Like amazon a move that might lose customers and a key revenue stream the Postal Service is a joke. Because they hand their packages for amazon and other Internet Companies and every time they bring a package they lose money on that amazon jeff bezos also owns the Washington Post hasnt gone unnoticed trump makes no secret of his hatred of that papers coverage of his presidency its kind of a were terribly perfect storm where you have nukes and other longstanding conservatives trying to achieve their goal of cutting bills you know Public Services and privatizing the service and all of this mixed in with trumps seemingly just personal vendetta against jeff bezos Washington Post and i extension amazon president ial candidate joe biden had one last question whether u. S. P. S. Funding is being withheld to make voting by mail as difficult as possible in november the fundamental issue though is whether Market Forces have been allowed to encroach on a service that guarantees delivery of mail to 160000000. 00 households wherever they are for a flat fee and it is a stark choice for the trumpet ministration is it willing to take responsibility for the cessation of the Postal Service just when the public and especially those in rural republican areas need it the most during Election Year pandemic she ever hansie aljazeera.
