Sanitizer and also how Global Financial shock is threatening to under half a century of Economic Growth and stability in latin america. Everyone accusing it of failing its basic duty u. S. President on trampas halted his countrys financial contributions to the World Health Organization he says the w. H. O. Not only mishandled the outbreak but even covered up how it was spreading out of china the un though says it is the worst possible moment for money to be withheld and drums critics insist he is attempting to shift blame away from himself well start with this from mike hanna in washington. In what has become a pattern President Trump used his podium to break reporters if you keep talking ill leave and you can have it out with the rest of these people if you keep talking im going to leave and you could have it out with that. Just allowed me to introduce a number of prominent members of big business the Construction LaborWorkforce International union of operating engineers Jim Callaghan north America Building Trades Union shown regard is a lot of friends of mine laborers International Union of north america terrio sullivan and to sharply criticized the World Health Organization announcing his administration would suspend funding had the w. H. O. Done its job to get medical experts into china to objectively assess the situation on the ground and to call out chinas lack of transparency ironically President Trump is on the record praised in china for its transparency in dealing with a virus having what was described as a friendly phone conversation with president xi at the end of march and subsequently tweeting we are working closely together much respect once again President Trump appears to be ignoring the principle of the separation of powers legal experts argue that he does not have the right to suspend funding that has already been approved by Congress Another constitutional crisis is looming and despite repeated cautions by the countrys Health ExpertsPresident Trump insisted mitigating measures could be eased to look at this in a number of u. S. States by the beginning of next month. But he walked back an earlier contention that the decision was his to make by confirming that the question of lifting restrictions or not would be left to individual gov the white house would still provide guidance were going to pick a date were going to get a date thats good but its going to be very very soon sooner than the end of the month the summer day that new york city announced its most dramatic rise in the fatality rate so Health Officials for the 1st time included the deaths of those presumed to have died of the virus even though they have not tested positive for this increase the death toll by more than 3700 in a single day driving up the number of People Killed in new york city to more than 10000 and increasing the overall u. S. Death count by 17 percent to more than 26000 thank you all very much stock figures that not even the president s action against the World Health Organization can distract from mike hanna aljazeera washington President Trumps political rivals at home were quick to react to the u. S. Democratic National Committee put out a statement heres part of it trump is willing to put Global Health further at risk to try to deflect blame from his own failures the American People know the truth it was trump who ignored the warnings for months earlier we heard from Lawrence Gostin whos a professor at Georgetown University also director of the collaborating center on national and Global Health law he also believes the u. S. Did not act quickly enough the United States had ample warning. Very early on said that the world had to brace itself and to do confinement. Contact tracing testing quarantines. World health organization. Similarly. Disclosed the genetic sequencing of the virus and the president and everybody in america could see as a tsunami of cases were sweeping across china and then east asia then to europe and then finally to the United States so we had so much time to prepare and we just didnt. Well move on now to really an indication of life having to carry on voting underway in south koreas parliamentary election it is the worlds 1st National Ballots to be held during the pandemic the voters are required to wear masks and gloves and to maintain their social distancing more than 10000. 00 people have been infected there and over 220. 00 have died is rampant riot at a polling station in seoul its funny robert had so much talk about will the u. S. Election go ahead and thats in november meanwhile south korea is pressing ahead right now how are they doing it. I mean there is a. Point of pride here in south korea a South Koreans will tell you they have never missed an election even during the korean war 952 they held an election so while a number of ballots local ballots around the world in various countries have been canceled or postponed they were determined to go ahead with this current coronavirus or not but they are taking special precautions were at a smaller polling station in downtown seoul d we havent seen a huge number of people here some of the. Busier polling stations are out in the biggest. In the Residential District but all of them are the same all put in place the same precautions when you come in to the polling stations 1st of all you have guy did down an entrance where you have to keep one meter separating you from the person behind on the person in front and then as you go through you are already assumed to be wearing a mask of course you have your temperature taken interesting really if you have a fever or a temperature youre not turned away but you are sent to a special voting booth of your own and then everybody has their Hand Sanitizer put on they have to throw away gloves in order that they can go and then get their ballot go into the booth and then cast their vote interestingly also in the way that you cast your vote here in south korea is that you have a chart play small stamp inside the voting booth you take your paper you take your ink chop and then choose your. Candidate but what the people here have a tendency to do especially the Younger Voters is that they will as a mark of having achieved their votes they will also put a check up on their hands you take a picture of that upload it to social media just to show your friends that you have voted well hes not very happy about things like that at the time of pandemic so what theyre also doing is that Voting Centers like this one if they really want to show that you have voted they will give you a piece of paper to say oh but you have cast your vote. Usually at this point i ask you about what are the key issues for voters. Im wondering if there are any or is it just coronavirus. It is pretty much a coronavirus even some of the issues you often have in south korean elections namely what north korea is up to at any given point in time that seems to be largely gone by the wayside when you talk to people they talk about the economy their livelihoods but of course all of that is impacted by coronavirus so you cant separate one from from the other so it is very much dominated by that and i think that will pretty much influence the way that people vote here remember this is not a president ial election its for the National Assembly but people will be swayed on whether they choose those members of the National Assembly and the parties who support the liberal president whose popularity has gone up through all of this or whether they will support the opposition to him but i have to say that given this National Crisis in the way that the country does seem to have come together it is a lot harder for those opposed to president really to make a much inroads in this part thank you for all those updates rob mcbride in solo on believe it or not election day.

I think the right thing is to prevent every possibility of infection obviously one needs to balance this with the need for normal life to resume but always remembering that the risk is still very high. The. Better to be alive and poor if the shops that reopen are totally safe that both workers and customers then i am in favor i worry that there will be a lot to do to get to that stage though italy is not made up of just Large Companies with big space as they can easily be organized shops in austria are also reopening for the 1st time since mid march and although shoppers are being urged not to stampede to the sales there is a sense of optimism among viennas retailers.
