Any covered 19 vaccine to be free and available to everyone. Rotavirus has entered the Worlds Largest refugee camp with 2 cases reported among the remainder population in bangladesh. But in this news all with jobless figures out of the United States there are 3000000 people have filed for Unemployment Benefits in the last 7 days and brings the nationwide figure to more than 36000000 since coronavirus lockdowns began and mid march our White House Correspondent Kelly Holcomb joins us now live so kimberly these numbers are really painting an increasingly grim picture. Yes and the numbers are expected to rise for a few more weeks at least were in the mid 30000000 mark of the number of americans that are filed jobless claims its supposed to go at least 10000000 higher once all of these claims have been processed because what were seeing initially was the 1st wave in the areas of restaurants and retail but as businesses other businesses sort of realized that this economy is not going to open quickly that weve seen the 2nd wave of americans filing for Unemployment Benefits so this u. S. President has tried to put a positive spin on it fact hes just landed in pennsylvania where hes going to continue to make the case that the really way to resolve this is to reopen the u. S. Economy but make no mistake about it the president is also looking for someone to blame he has pointed to the World Health Organization arguing that it didnt do enough to warn the world about the spread of the pandemic calling it a global emergency much too late in fact the u. S. President saying just before he left the white house that he expects that he may have an announcement on the withdrawal of u. S. Funding to the World Health Organization soon even as early as next week well can you stay with us kimberly we want to talk for a moment about a whistleblower who says he was sent for raising concerns about the u. S. Coronavirus response is the former head of the u. S. Agency responsible for developing a vaccine for the virus hes been giving evidence before a house of Representatives Panel has some of what he had to say. Our window of opportunity is closing if we fail to improve our response now based on science i fear the pandemic will get worse and be prolonged there will be likely a resurgence of code 19 this fall and be greatly compound it by the challenges of seasonal influenza without better planning 2020 could be the darkest winter in modern history. Back to kimberley so that was a great prize he has made some dial warnings have we had from President Trump about all of this. That weve heard from u. S. President trump weve also heard from rick writes boss the health and Human Services secretary alex aides are now dr bright has been particularly critical of the health and Human Services secretary saying that he was dismissive of my dire predictions for example he knew the stockpile was insufficient and alarms were sounded but there was no response to his request for action well the health and Human Services secretary was appearing alongside the president as that part of the white house he said that everything dr bright is complaining about was itchy for example he cites the lack of ventilators that were short and there chalet but now have been topped up according to the white house but the u. S. President for his part really tried to undermine dr brights credibility heres what he had to say i watched the guy for a little while this morning to meet nothing more than a i really want. An happy birthday and im not to go get about alec with allocated globally but there are a lot of people that do not like the job because i dont know ive never met him i dont want to meet him but i watch him and he looks like it and we just run those employees the brightly 40 some people that do a very good. Now dr bright says that part of the problem with the u. S. Response this far has been the issue of is lack of a coordinated central response in terms of not only resort says but getting those resources out to the various states now he says there is a prescription for all of this he says its to let the scientists peek and allow them to speak without fear of retribution i think that that is a wise host correspondent kimberly thank you meanwhile the head of the u. S. Senate Intelligence Committee is stepping down amid an Insider Trading investigation richard the allegedly sold stocks just before markets plumbs dont think is of an economic crisis from coronavirus the f. B. I. Seized the phone on wednesday with more on the states go live now to mike hanna who is standing by in washington d. C. Mike this is not a good look for it to his pharmacies on wednesday and he resigns on thursday. Indeed yes when he stepped down temporarily he says the head of the senate to Mitch Mcconnell saying that this is a temporary measure but certainly it doesnt look very good at all 1st of all for the f. B. I. To get a search warrant to serve on a sitting senator there has to be the very highest levels of the Justice Department involved in this particular case obviously a judge would have had to sign off on the warrant they have now serve the warrant they have taken the cell phone now its understood that investigations into berger have been underway for a period of time he and a couple of other members of congress were accused of Insider Trading some of them have shown stock movements around the time of january february at the time when the congress was being briefed on the coronavirus issue now as head of the senate Intelligence Committee a bird would have had unique access to the information he would have received briefings that other members of congress did not because of his very senior position so certainly this is an issue that the f. B. I. Is now investigating has stepped down from his position as head of the Intelligence Committee but one must point out as well that a number of the senators a lot of members of congress as i mentioned have been accused of Insider Trading the records have shown of suspicious stock movements in january and in february however burris the only one whos publicly being investigated at this particular point it must be pointed out to that birkhead that the senate Intelligence Committee which recently issued a report backing the Intelligence Services assessment that russia did involve in the 2016 election that is something that president tried to dismiss as he dismisses as a hoax but that came from the senate Intelligence Committee of which raymond burr was the sitting leader so certainly President Trump has not been particularly satisfied with this particular senator f. B. I. Continuing their investigations thanks that that is there as mike hanna. Well as have been reporting on employment in the us has risen rapidly through the pandemic the she had to tons of reports thanks loads the people fighting the virus. It hasnt gone unnoticed that even as the u. S. Salutes frontline workers in this case with military flyovers at a conservatively estimated 60000. 00 an hour over at least 22 Cities Health care workers are being fired at alarming rates due to a lack of foam and thats despite 100000000000 dollars in funding post by congress specifically to help medical providers preliminary estimates for april showed a loss of 1400000 Health Care Jobs with 135000 hospital stuff such as revenue rich elective surgeries and routine visits were canceled his data report on the situation as of the 12th so what were seeing today is what was going on in and around the middle so i certainly think i would not be surprised to see more losses when we see next month 317 stoffel 5 at this hospital in san diego those who remain say some of those were frontline kovan stone as with millions of others in the u. S. Then without their employer based Health Insurance when they may need it most everybody was still devastated were reeling from that. Everybody demoralized on the or is that right now and of course there were. A lot of. Or nurses and now theyre worried that after a 14. Day between 2 to 14 database in fear what if they get infected and that we dont have insurance so. Its easy for a lot of. Executives. You know these Health Care Workers and theres a hero and then they can really just drop it like nothing but Palomar Health which runs the hospital said it had no choice not only is revenue down in areas not connected to the pandemic it isnt treating high numbers of patients on either meanwhile Health Care Workers who remain acing that hours on wages cut while fearing job loss and thats particularly so it would have been a little noticed but a growing sector in u. S. Medicine hospitals and medical style thing controlled by private equity firms wolf street spent 100000000000 dollars on Health Care Assets in 2018 aloon private equities financial bubble is based on profits for investors that beat the rest of the market and thats made these assets particularly vulnerable now those Emergency Rooms are the ones that have been at the forefront. Of cutting salaries and cutting doctor salaries its the extreme form for profit says they are reacting quickly in order to get their money our to repay their investors before the organizations collapse private equity blames medical Insurance Companies for forcing them to make cuts and its true Insurance Companies are already seeing and projecting healthy profits as a result of the pandemic but as the emergency continues while many flaws within the Us Health Care system have been revealed increasingly theres debate as to whether its the system itself that is brute can she have written see aljazeera. Well leaders have made a plea for the eventual covered 19 vaccine to be distributed free of charge to all countries and an open letter more than 140. 00 current and former big this Nobel Laureates and academics called for the global sharing of data and technologies related to the virus and that when a vaccine is developed that is distributed equally fast and according to need and they has also called on the policy setting body of the World Health Organization to rally behind the cause when it meets next week. Has more from london its the point of this letter is that it reflects concerns among developing nations some of the countries the worlds poorest countries the socalled global south that if and when a vaccine emerges it will likely emerge in the global north in one of the richer countries of the world and the concern is that it will be used preferentially among you know richer populations before it makes its way down to the poorer countries but many of whom of course will need it most dont have the finances the resources to be able to carve out their own share so this letter has emerged its talking specifically about a vaccine when it comes being patient free not a property of any particular country or Company Quickly produced then at scale to be made available to billions of people around the world at no cost. As a sort of gesture of Global Public good we cannot afford says the load of old monopolies crude competition and nearsighted nationalism to stand in the way of a global vaccine that will end this great pandemic now of course the race to achieve that vaccine is well underway there are more than 100 clues clinical tests going on at the moment in europe in the u. S. And elsewhere one of the most advances here in the u. K. At Oxford University and the best guess that scientists seem to be able to reach for the moment is that there may be a vaccine that is shown to work a little later this year possibly by september is a date thats been mentioned but itll be a lot longer than that before production is scaled up to the levels that will be required in the whole process could take well into next year so this is developing countries the worlds poorest trying to ensure that they arent made to wait any longer than anyone else the u. K. s Health Minister has hailed a new Antibody Test as a potential game changer in the fight against the virus the test was developed by Swiss Company has now been approved for use in the u. K. Germany has already made a deal with the company the tests can reveal whether someones already had the disease and if theyre developed and unity. A team of engineers and physicians in the u. S. Has developed 2 devices that could transform the fight against covert 19 south of the university of michigan designed a portable helmet and a socalled negative pressure tent both devices sensually prevent if it infected air from escaping into the wide environment hospitals usually treat severely ill cova 19 patients and negative pressure rooms to prevent further infections but such specially equipped rooms are not widely available in developing countries. Is that the coinventor of those devices and found of flex ease thats an Aerospace Company he joins us from ann arbor or and michigan thanks for your time this talk us through what these devices do so you mentioned negative pressure room so what you doing there is actually your exposing the widest of the entire room coming out of the what about vision reading out and then you are create you are back in the role instead what we did was to jack should be white is that the source in by actually continuing the waters by you know how do you helmet all of patients in the. Back you may need to attach the helmet attached to a rock you motor to have a filter absorb this allows these projects to build good workers. And also more importantly allows the patients to be treated with oxygen supplemental oxygen to needs to can you say its not in this way to treat the patients as opposed to. Using ventilators so you dont i was patients to be treated in this fashion which is less risky and also at the same time protecting the Health Care Workers so really its not in terms of benefit to the patient is it all about avoiding the risk of using ventilation or other al that patient benefits here. Thats one of them because beacon weekend even the patients were on ventilators there can be more to this device in only severe cases you dont we can spend ventilators for most critical cases but i was going to say that is another relation of this negative pressure helmet which is a negative pressure chant that allows doctors to perform various procedures like cherokee and brown cus the people think that theyre not doing right now and only patients because of the fear of your dissolution theres a grave risk or Health Care Workers but when youre treating patients the space of these negative pressure cant allows them to treat patients with procedures that theyre badly need and so that way the patient can be taken off the ventilator sooner. And treated according to who was the. Consumer in mind when you were developing this is it more for developing nations or ohio did you have in mind when you were developing this does it have other uses aside from coronavirus. Well good question yes it does the its not only for corona virus but also one of the Infectious Diseases like closes or plans that slow does helmet for instance. He die lousy dont you talk about the social distancing and so he certainly when the patient comes into mandolins or where now the people need good workers are exposed to the virus that is if you have these negative pressure helmet on on the patient so other people around them are not infected with the virus even before entering the hospital so you could also use this in the public spaces as well but once a patient enters a hospital if the patient needs a treatment you can provide oxygen. To the helmet and treat the patient that way and for the larger procedure so i mentioned already about the chance so this is goes beyond their use for it and for other Infectious Diseases as well really and valuable and of ation at this time thanks so much for your time and thier work thats right there founder effect sees an Aerospace Company and coinventor of the aerosol device. I did my head on the news all including hunger during lockdown entire households in south africa struggling to afford enough food. And a starring role why saudi arabia is turning to hollywood to invest. To yemen now where a lack of Testing Facilities has made it difficult to assess just how badly the krona virus is affecting one of the worlds poorest countries so far only 13 deaths and 72. 00 infections have been reported but healthcare workers are warning that a major break will have catastrophic consequences following years of war hunger and other diseases continuing fighting in southern yemen is also complicating efforts for a much needed cease fire to help contain the spread practice gupta reports.
