On the irish border as the u. K. Moves closer to breaking international nor with its brags that. The number of people who have died from corona virus in the u. S. Has now topped 200000 on the day that threshold was passed president moved again to cast blame on china in an address to the Un General Assembly he slammed the country he said unleashed this plague on the world china in response call for unity in the fight against covert 19 is a diplomatic editor jane space like all the other World Leaders speaking at the u. N. President speech was prerecorded his words or his controversial example. We have waged a fierce battle against the invisible enemy the china virus which has claimed countless lives in 188. 00 countries in the United States we launched the most aggressive mobilization since the 2nd world war the Fact Checkers in a country that suffered more than most from cope with 19 unlikely to question those claims as the Chinese Ambassador to the un listened in the General Assembly hall the president intensified his attack on china we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague on to the world china in the early is days of the virus china locked down travel domestically while allowing flights to leave china and infect the world before introducing president xi the Chinese Ambassador made an impromptu intervention complaining about bullying. China resolutely great acts baseless accusation against china his president in a clear contrast to President Trump said International Cooperation was the key to combating covert 19. 19 realize that were living in an interconnected Global Village with a common stake all countries are closely connected and we share a Common Future no country can gain from this difficulties on the taste of billet taking advantage of this tramples in his address the president of france expressed his growing concern about the tension between the worlds 2 largest economies new pass through the todays world cannot be left to the rivalry between china and the United States regardless of the white in the world that these 2 great powers share regardless of the history that ties us especially to the United States the collapse of the frameworks of our cooperation. The truth just referenced all of that means we must build a new order from speech was almost certainly the shortest ever given by u. S. President to the Un General Assembly just 7 minutes long it was delivered with a machine gun like style of oh there was criticism of iran china was the main target in his sights diplomats say speeches like this do nothing to decrease the polarization on the world stage james pays out 0 at the United Nations and speaking on his way to iranian President Trump said the number of deaths is bad but could have been far worse i think its a shame i think if we didnt do it properly and do it right youd have 2 and a half 1000000 deaths if you take a look at alternatives you could have 2 and a half 1000000 or something there about you could have a number that would be substantially more with all of that being said we should never had anybody and you saw my United Nations speech john issue to stop it at their border they should never let this spread all over the world so lets bring in ryan grim hes the intercepts washington d. C. Bureau chief and joins us live via skype so ryan on the day that the u. S. Passes 200000. 00 deaths President Trump strategy seems to be deliberately attacking china and blaming them for the virus what did you make of his speech to the General Assembly i mean it sounded like a stump speech at a Campaign Rally didnt it. It certainly did and it was and its notable d that the reason that we know that we cross the threshold macaffer threshold of 200000. 00 deaths. From the corona virus is because Johns Hopkins university has been tallying those deaths in other words a nongovernmental actor has you know had to do the compiling of the statistics and and share them with the public because the the president has effectively shut down the federal governments ability to to collect d and then distribute those statistics which which undermines a case that he could reasonably be making about chinas handling of the corona virus but none of it is going to get through because of who the messenger is you know that the goal was so transparent that a lot of legitimate criticisms might get over look what President Trump was trying to do here is you know with just weeks left in the campaign and with people already voting was to shift blame away from his handling of the virus yeah thats an important point to make because many people say hes clearly trying to deflect from his own mishandling of the pandemic and he can he wants to turn the spotlight i guess on things like his efforts u. S. Efforts to find a vaccine has not worked in terms of shifting the debates. No no it hasnt 1st of all that the entire debate United States currently is over you know who who and how and when are we going to fill the seat vacated by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg so you know very briefly coronavirus has been taken off the front pages though it is of course you know front and center to everyone in the country because its affecting everybodys daily life but minds are significantly made up there was a poll that came out of georgia as a day that found that just 4 percent of voters had yet to decide on the on the president ial race at this time in 2016 the number was closer to between 10 and 15 percent were remained undecided going into the final weeks and those voters broke heavily for trump and thats what pulled trump over the finish line youre ok seeing that this time around people have their opinions and theyre kind of dug in how much is trump trying to get people talking about this 200000 deaths because the fact remains ryan he jumped on blame whoever he wants to blame but these people died on his watch didnt they. The base they certainly did trumps number one deflection from the from the very beginning has been to a call at the china virus and b. To point out that he banned travel ringback coming out of china and you know that thats been his go to no matter where we have been in this pandemic the fact that we now know the through the bob woodward tapes that that trump as early as february 7th had learned from the Chinese Government that the coronavirus was passing through the air was extremely deadly and extremely contagious undermines you know any attempts that hes going to make to try to shift blame at this late date ryan graham great to get your thoughts thank you very much indeed for talking to aljazeera thank you. Youve got it.

K. Has devolved nations but scotland and Northern Ireland went further imposing bans on people meeting in each others houses the backdrop to all of this is an infection rate thats doubling every week hospital admissions are up to and are likely to increase towards winter but this trajectory is not written in stone providing urgent action is taken now and that means extra powers to enforce the rules police and local authorities will be given more money and the option of drawing or military support if theres no progress the Prime Ministers promised more firepower for now he stopped short of introducing a suggested 2 week down to slow the spread of the virus that could still come any measure will need to be delicately chosen to protect lives in the countrys battered economy barker aljazeera london.
