A turning point. Accused of involvement in the murder of his former wife the suitors Prime Minister resigns after months of speculation. And left high and dry by the coronavirus endemic filipino maritime workers will now face an uncertain future. There will be an independent inquiry into the International Response of the coronaVirus Outbreak investigation will include an examination of the World Health Organizations role the 194. 00 w. H. O. Member states unanimously passed the European Union resolution that would allow for what they called a comprehensive evaluation of the Global Reaction w h o director general dr. Welcomed the resolution our own ways. That majority remains fairly quite muted to transparency accountability and continues improvement we want accountability. Anyone. But the resolution follows sharp criticism of the w. H. O. By u. S. President donald trump he says missteps by the organization came at an extreme cost basically they have to clean up their act they have to do a better job they have to be much more fair to other countries including the United States so were not going to be involved with them to separate way well but from straight to permanently stop funding to the w. H. O. Is facing a growing backlash Russias Deputy foreign minister is quoted as saying that theyre against the breaking the organization for another members political preferences meanwhile china has accused the u. S. Of attempting to avoid responsibility for its own outbreak claiming trumps remarks were meant to criticize chinas response efforts. Well can really help get our White House Correspondent joins us live now from washington d. C. I mean it really does seem that President Trump is not going to let this go hes adamant that the d hero has to pay the price for in his eyes the failing to deal properly with the pandemic. Absolutely the u. S. President pointing the finger at the World Health Organization and we should also point out once again in the last hour or so pointing the finger at china you can get to the moment but as centrally the u. S. Statement to the u. S. Mission to the United Nations saying that they support this review but they want to understand more about the virus and also the timeline and thats a really key wording because the u. S. President has accused the World Health Organization of not doing enough soon enough in order to war in the United States of the impending threat of the Global Pandemic covert 19 and this of course as a literate of the u. S. Economy this president is running for reelection and hes looking for someone to blame now the u. S. President for his part has been suggesting that there could be punitive measures against china although he said in the last hour that he doesnt believe at this point that he wants to discuss retaliation but he is being criticized from some Top Democrats on capitol hill who are gravely concerned about the president s comments Chuck Schumer the top down or democrat in the u. S. Senate called Donald Trumps comments reckless he said the rebuke of the World Health Organization and other bodies leaves the u. S. Empty handed if another country develops the vaccine 1st in other words really concerns that the United States could be left to the back of the line because of President Trumps criticism not just of the war of Health Organization as a body but also chinese officials. And kimberly meanwhile the president has also defended his decision which he announced just yesterday to take the antimalaria drug hydroxy glora much criticized by many parts of the media and the establishment what else and said about that today. Yeah the u. S. President really ignited a bit of a firestorm when he revealed that he had been taking hydroxy chloroquine as a preventative measure given the fact that there have been a number of outbreaks including his personal valet here on the white house campus that certainly a standard many given the fact that some of his own Public Health officials have cautioned against this and also that there is a statement from the food and Drug Administration that simply says that there are no proven benefits that this treats covert 19 theres another study in the United States coming out of the Veterans Affairs that also concludes that this may not have any benefits the president speaking in just the last hour really pushed back on that said that was a bad study that this was put forward by friends or perth people who are not friends of the administration and he said that there are many benefits to the struggle that is proven in other studies heres what he had to say what has been determined is it doesnt harm you very powerful drug i guess but it doesnt harm you and so i thought as a frontline defense possibly it would be good and ive had no impact from it and ive had no i feel the same i havent changed i dont think too much and at some point you know i wont take it might be soon might be a little bit it doesnt it doesnt seem to have any impact on me but it seems to be extra line of defense and its gotten tremendous reviews from some people. Now the u. S. President also suggested or intimated that other members of his cabinet may be taking the drug as well d but he wouldnt name names i can tell you that this is not sitting well with the top democrat in the house of representatives who responded to President Trump taking the drug criticizing him saying that the United States president should not be taking something that has not been approved by scientists campbell halkett with the latest from the white house can really thank you. Well the not for profit Group Physicians for human rights has strongly criticized the u. S. President s attack on the w. H. O. Describing them as baffling at a time when collaborative action is so important dr Michelle Heisler is the medical director of the group and she joins us over skype from ann arbor in michigan madame thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera so tell us a little bit more you have criticized the comments tell us a little bit more as to why. Yes so we had to physicians for human rights are strongly advocating for a desperately needed science driven approach to this Global Pandemic and as we all know this is the worst Global Health crisis of our lifetimes a Global Health emergency requires a global coordinated response so this is not the time for the u. S. President or any leader to try to weaken the capacity for multilateral collaboration and action debbie reach a w. H. O. Provides vital International Assistance in court a nation theres really no other entity or organization that can do what the w. H. O. Can do so you know because the lies of millions of people around the world particularly those most at risk depend on effective Global Action that we depend on Global Action to coordinate and distribute supplies to help develop a vaccine to track the progress globally of the virus and that includes in the u. S. Of the more than 300000. 00 convert and conform to deaths from cova 1000. 00 a 3rd of them are in the u. S. So what were recommending what were urging the u. S. Government and all governments to do is to Work Together we need to Work Together wed like to see the u. S. Engagement in robust information sharing on transmission so that says forgive me friends are this is obviously an Election Year in the u. S. So there may be political reasons for which President Trump is speaking the way he is but are you against the fact that there is going to be an in the end of inquiry and that questions should be asked as to for example the transparency of china at the start of the pandemic or do you think all of that should wait till the pandemic is under control no i. I absolutely i think it was very encouraging as you noted earlier that all Member States at the at the jetty which oh World Assembly yesterday did indeed unanimously support an impartial independent and comprehensive evaluation i think many of many countries i think theres a lot of lessons i think we can say and we can argue and see that many countries did not respond quickly enough including the United States. And i think it will be very useful to have a reflection to to do an investigation as the devil you h. O. Also embraced to learn lessons we need to learn lessons and we need to do better Going Forward because of course the pandemic is over and theres no real telling of when it will be or even on their control what would you say are the priorities or should be the priorities for the w. H. O. And the International Community now. Yes i mean i think one of the one of the crucially Important Roles of the deb you h. O. Is as a as a convener its leading International Clinical trials to help develop a vaccine and we know very little about the virus that there are there spearheading research on the virus its transmission there playing an Important Role in identifying needs and low income countries. Theres a critical need and this will continue to be the case Going Forward in ensuring equitable access to medical equipment treatment so these are all critically important rules that the show must play the one thing i think its important to recognize is that the deb you each is a platform for cooperation between countries so in many ways although there are functional scientific Public Health and medical capabilities can continue its only as effective as a Member States allow it and so i guess are you saying then that or should we infer that then its impossible for it not to be politicized because in a way it doesnt have its own power its a platform and as strong as its Member States allow it to be i mean i think its i think its a it puts w. H. O. In a very difficult situation when Member States such as say china and the u. S. Do politicize pandemics for geo political purposes and all of us suffer when such politicisation hinders essential International Health cooperation so i think that the politicization will hinder the ability of did to play its crucial crucial functional scientific Public Health and medical so they will continue but it will be difficult dr michelle has medical director of the Group Physicians for human rights latin thank you for sharing your views with us yes thank you very much. Coming up on aljazeera this news hour rader is killed more than 100. 00 people the latest violence in a sentrys old dispute between cattle farming tribes in south so that an argentinian Community Leader dies for the coronavirus after fighting for clean water in one of the biggest slums in when a scientist. And bangladeshi bunkers that out for supercycle padan them but how do people keep socially this that crowded shelters. Libyas a u. N. Recognized government says it has killed 5 soldiers loyal to the warlord holly for half that the government has also seized the talons of t. G. And by that a south of the airbase which was captured on monday it comes as the u. N. Marked a shift in tone towards half that directly criticizing the renegade commander our diplomatic editor james bays of reports now from the United Nations. In recent weeks the uns acting special representative Stephanie Williams gave this bleak assessment of the situation in libya to Security Council ambassadors i believe we have reached another turn in the conflict conflict from what we are witnessing in terms of the massive influx of weaponry acquittance and mercenaries to the 2 sides the only conclusion that we can draw is that this war will intensify our broaden in. 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 oh when. She said it was civilians paying the price 58. 00 killed and 190. 00 injured since the 1st of april an 89 percent rise in civilian casualties compared with the 1st 3 months of the year she said the vast majority were the result of attacks by general half his forces she said it was regrettable that at the end of april the general had rejected the International Peace plan and claimed he alone had a mandate to rule the country libyas ambassador whos loyal to the government of National Accord was scathing about half and one of his Main International backers the United Arab Emirates we wish to inform your own firm discounts that we have damning evidence of direct Illegal Transfer of these specific weapons to libya by the United Arab Emirates and support of the war criminal and his militias which these evidence we are sharing with the panel of experts in previous Security Council meetings over the years the United Nations has been reluctant to criticize one side or the other simply saying that both must show restraint but the tone has now changed the criticism of general haftar was direct and much stronger amid reports that even some of his backers believe the impetuous commander has overplayed his hand james by aljazeera at the United Nations the head as sunny is the libyan ambassador to the United Nations and joins us now from war or thank you for joining us here on aljazeera we saw a short interview of your short clip in that report by james bays where you say you have damning evidence of the u. A. E. Supplying weapons to have ties Libyan National army tell us a little bit about what that damning evidence is. Thanks barbara well actually i mean this is not the 1st time with such evidence here and warrants and thats what you boys for the past years even before this attack on tripoli prove that there was a lot of engagement from u. A. E. And other countries in supporting have to buy these weapons but i was there really also damning go yesterday in particular after liberating look here which was the high tech equipment that we have seen and that was building news to to really attack tripoli and killing the civilians and all of this supply lines that weve been seeing recently. You mentioned the standing evidence of the u. A. E. Supplying weapons to heavy for have ties Libyan National army of course there is an arms embargo when it comes to the war in libya and the u. N. Among others have said that actually its the continued foreign involvement that makes the fighting so much war so how is the u. A. E. Supporting her if after different to turkey for example giving support to the government of National Accord. Well actually i mean when the arms embargo was applied it was meant to assure stability for libya and also to stop any individuals or groups or outlaws to smuggle weapons it doesnt make any sense that a legitimate government that was actually announced and supported by a number of un resolutions within the Security Council when it comes to defend itself against an aggression and an attack its being accused of supporting it so and by the end no weapons to defend it so we have been. Attacking you know the tact for more than 10 months. Continuously with no one supporting us or trying to provide any kind of support necessary to overcome this but in the end theres a big difference between a legitimate government that is defending its people and the Building Sovereignty of the country and arklow militia and will criminal whos trying just to have a cool over this government while there have been advances for the u. N. Recognize government sees the towns of p. G. And bothering just on monday also the our what airbase so we have a comment on that on twitter from anwar got a gash was the minister of state for Foreign Affairs of the u. A. E.
