Going down in south africa and thousands in that the r. C. Protest against the nomination of a new election chief considered to close the former president Joseph Kabila down. Low welcome to the program the United States has toughened its stance on chinas disputed claims to offshore resources in most of the South China Sea calling them completely under full secretary of state might pompei or has released a statement saying beijing is no legal grounds to unilaterally impose its will on the region the move is likely to further increase tensions between the nations earlier china sanctioned 2 prominent u. S. Senators for supporting measures against the treatment of chinese weekers our White House Correspondent kimberly how it has more. Well i think whats so pronounced about this is the fact that up until now the u. S. Had always maintained that when it came to disputes in these territorial waters and the claims that china has made in those waters that this really needed to be resolved at you and back to arbitration so this is a complete departure from that standpoint the u. S. Secretary of state in his statement as well as tweets as you mentioned coming out very strong cues in china of bullying accusing china of being completely unlawful of its claims and making clear that the United States is now standing with its Southeast Asian partners in terms of moving forward that they have been concerned for some time about what they call chinas increasing assertiveness and have completely rejected the claims now and again this is something that we had expected but what we see is this kind of tit for tat that has been going on for days we heard from the National Security adviser Robert Obrian as late as late last week saying that we could expect tough action towards china its clear that this is the intention of the administration to send a very strong message well earlier i spoke to china analyst to gordon chang he says beijing is feeding it to the region. I do believe we have a Tipping Point because the United States and indeed a lot of other countries are deciding that they are not going to ignore unacceptable behavior on the agents part we have seen especially since february of this year china act in ways which are expression a dangerous and its pushing against india 6 South China Sea and East China Sea nations the stress of invasion of taiwan the increased tempo of dangerous intercepts of the u. S. Navy and the Global Commons so beijing is driving this now theres a lot of disagreement over why china is doing this but the point is china is doing this well the next step is really going to be up to china i think that the issue is going to be driven in part by chinas purchases under the phase one trade deal that was signed january 15th china has made it clear that its not going to be meeting its schedule of purchase goods and services so that is part of the underlying tension but its also you know chinas geo political moves to try to grab territory and try to grab the global comments so i think this is largely in chinas court because countries including the United States or really reacting to what beijing is doing. That want to have some Health Organization says the coronavirus pandemic will worsen if countries fail to read the basic health care precautions it says to many countries are seeing infections fries and there will be no every time to the all the normal for the forseeable future if operations do not follow the basic public codes principles of physical distancing and wishing wedding masks coughing a ticket and staying home when seek.

Well more than a quarter of the worlds record of virus cases are now in the United States its recorded more than 3200000 infections meaning that one in a 100 americans have tested positive but as cases mount the trumpet ministration seems to be targeting its own Infectious Diseases expert dr anthony found for criticism President Donald Trump has retreated a claim that the u. S. Centers for Disease Control the media the Democratic Party and quote most doctors are lying about the disease trump denies the men are unable to work together.

Well again with this white house were seeing a lot of mixed messages we saw the president s spokesperson come out and say what the president was referring to when it comes to doctors was that there was a whole hundreds and hundreds of Health Care Providers who signed a petition basically saying that you cant close you should close churches and the spokesperson says well they didnt say that about these protests that were going across the country maybe thats because churches are inside which is less safe in the protests or outside which is more safe according to the scientists but really if you follow the Trump Administration when he starts talking about people as we have a great relationship and his staff starts on the messages behind the scenes usually that means that persons days are numbered thats not necessarily going to be the case with Dr Anthony Fauci and theres a couple of very big differences the president didnt put him in his job hes not a president ial appointee so he cant be just simply fired by the president he has been there for 6 president s every Major NationalHealth Crisis this country has experienced for decades hes widely popular a recent poll said 67 percent of the American Public trust whats coming out of dr fox hes melt when it comes to the coronavirus just 26 percent believe President Trump when it comes to this virus so hes popular he can easily be fired but what the administration can do is try to silence him try to discredit him and what we saw them do over the weekend is put out what journals called it look like Opposition Research a list of all the times they say that dr fogey has been wrong they didnt put on the list that those were times that the president said the exact same thing and he was also wrong so theyre trying to discredit him in that sense but hes very popular not just with the American Public with people on capitol hill they cant exactly fire him but they could try to move him they could try to silence him and weve seen that weve heard of several media appearances were docked if she was supposed to speak in and hes been canceled the white house says he cant go those but hes still talking hes going to pod cast and hes talking to georgetown on a web stream tomorrow and basically hes contradicting the president the president keeps saying everything. The economy can reopen schools can reopen dr freud she came out and said if you look at what other countries are doing in the u. S. Just isnt doing a good job he repeated it just it just isnt so hes obviously rightly people within the white house the president s self who we do know does not take kindly to criticism no practical hane with the latest there from maryland patti as always thank you.
