Donald trump says the number of new infections in the United States is slowing the president is making a prediction despite his country marking a record 2300 deaths in just 24 hours he says restrictions could be lifted and up to 30 states in just 2 weeks but hes also struck and another threatening ours as mike hanna reports. These daily news briefings up a ported lead to keep the nation informed about the battle against a coronavirus but invariably the president strays off message and today he used the forums to rail against what he described as congregational obstruction in the confirmation of government officials and threatened to Adjourn Congress and then push through his nominations during the recess the senate should either fulfill its duty and vote on my nominees or should formally adjourn so that i can make recess appointments we have a tremendous number of people that have to come into government and now more so than ever before because of the virus and the problem its a threat against congress that no president has made before perhaps its never done before its never been done before nobodys even sure if it has but were going to do it we need these people here we need people for this crisis and we dont want to play anymore political games many in congress would view this as an attack against a fundamental principle on which this country is democracy is based a system of checks and balances that separates the powers of the executive the judiciary and the legislature its the latest in a series of actions that would appear to amount to an abuse of executive power and follows a suspension of funding to the World Health Organization that congress had already approved and the insistence that the president has the right to order states to follow the guidelines of the executive in deciding when to lift the mitigating measures President Trump says hell speak to governors before announcing new guidelines thursday making clear these involve the easing of restrictions in a number of states pretty youre ready know will be opening up states some states much sooner than others and we think some of the states can actually open up before the deadline of may 1st. And i think that would be a very exciting time indeed the president ended the briefing with these words big day tomorrow on this day as evidence its not clear whether this is a promise or threat. Mike hanna aljazeera washington. Well president trying to has also double down on his attack on the World Health Organization he suggests it deliberately misled the wild in the alley stages of the outbreak tragically other nations put their trust in the w. H. O. And they didnt do any form of ben and you see what happened in italy you see what happened to spain you see what happened to france w. H. S. Guidance had failed to control their borders at a very crucial phase quickly unleashing the contagion around the world there was a horrible tragic mistake or perhaps they do im sure they did know the gravity of it but perhaps they knew because if they knew the gravity that would be an even worse offense well the head of the w. H. O. Is calling for unity in the way of trance criticism when we divided the virus exploits the cracks between us we are committed to serving the world his people and to accountability for the resources with which we are interested in due course w. Chose performance in tackling this pundit mic will be reviewed by w 2 as Member States and the independent bodies start our employees to ensure transparency and accountability but for now our focus my focus is on stopping this virus and saving lives and from beijing katrina you has more details on chinas reaction to the u. S. President s decision. Well china and the u. S. Have been engaging in a bit of war of words regarding the current virus pandemic and beijing really sees that washington in their opinion is trying to simply say the blame when it comes to the criticism of the World Health Organization thats been very much echoed in state media reports today a lot of headlines for example here weve got an editorial from the global times which is a state media newspaper very much attacking trump in its decision to withdraw funding from the saying that it is a move against humanity and it sets a horrible precedent at a time when the world really should be rallying behind the agency it also says that trump really is using this is so some sort of political ammunition to try to bolster his chances of reelection as well and converse lee state media painting china as the opposite kind of being very active in taking a kind of leadership role in this global fight against the pandemic reminding the public that china donated 20000000. 00 to the agency in march and has since then sent plane loads of medical supplies testing kits and other funds to more than 80 countries since then i think people here genuinely believe that there is a downward trend in infections just evidenced by the government or been opening up of china people are going back to work the economy is Getting Started again i asked whether these numbers that we have these official figures are accurate there are a lot of questions china maintains that there are only been about 82000 cases of carbon 1000 across the country and thats much less in terms of numbers when you compare it to the u. S. Or many European Countries and that has raised eyebrows. Well the pandemic will also cause asias Economic Growth to stall at 0 percent for the 1st time in 60 is thats the latest di a projection from the International Monetary fund the outbreak has taken an unprecedented toll on the region its expected to rebound next year but the outlook remains on that some sand one is the regional economist and c.

The shop is just a very unique in terms of both supply shop things being stopped because of pro restriction and lock down and down the contract in on demand side spilling over from the lock down and probably restriction eating into job losses which cost a fall on the mom side so its almost instantaneously we see the hit to the economies years all very often small on the economy like singapore here we already saw that reflected in the 1st quarter estimate of its g. D. P. Shrinking almost nearly 3 percent year on year itself and i think there was you know the spin being reported in repeated throughout the region primary you know different various degrees those people are just more of a position where that where the impact on the. Wall you see the full impact i think of that the collapse in Global Demand and the impact of travel restrictions in the 2nd quarter but generally very sober severe across the region whether youre talking about advanced economy and korea or developing one malaysia indonesia thailand in terms of rebounding small open economy like singapore so its singapores canary in the coal mine and so this very much into link to global trade will the trade is expected to slump by 11 percent by the end met this year from about one percent growth last year so singapore will probably feel the rebound 1st and their photo through around the region d obviously much will depend on their exposure tools the global trade and to what extent the corpse and domestic demand problem the contraction in the supply side its being many each as well now iran is reporting coronavirus deaths are 100. 00 for a 3rd consecutive day some businesses the enclosure risk reopened on saturday and next week its expected to feather.
