witness discovers the hidden world where the stakes for the environment and those who make their living from it couldn't be higher. death by a 1000 cuts on al-jazeera. they called it wrong they call it. the us president criticizes the world health organization over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic and threatens to come funding from the u.s. . but i want to make room for the good this is al jazeera live from doha also coming out a rise in corona virus related deaths in france spain and the u.k. but there is cause for optimism the number of new infections is forming. britain's prime minister spends a 2nd night in intensive care boris johnson's condition is said to be stable.

warning from saudi arabia's health minister hundreds of thousands could soon become infected with the coronavirus. the us president has criticised the world health organization for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic donald trump has accused the agency of being china centric and threaten to cut funding trumps attack on the w.h.o. comes as the us recorded 1619 links deaths in a single day the highest number so far the only half of those deaths were in new york state. that is the largest single day increase. and we talk about numbers but that 731 people who we lost behind every one of those numbers is an individual is a family is a mother's a father's a sister's

a brother so a lot of pain. again today for many new yorkers and there are no thoughts and prayers france has become the 4th country to register more than 10000 deaths the government is expected to extend a lockdown that's been in place since mid march to try to stop the spread of the virus that britain's prime minister remains in intensive care for a 2nd by boris johnson has been given supplementary oxygen but it's not a ventilator he said to be in good spirits well i would update on boris johnson in just a moment but 1st let's go to washington al-jazeera is mike hanna mike that stop with this threat by president trump to withdraw funding from the wealthy world health organization why. well there's a degree of confusion about whether that is a direct threat president trump earlier in the day had said that yes he was

reviewing funding for the world health organization and then he backed away from that slightly in a news briefing saying that he never said he was going to cut off funding but then he added that certainly his administration is looking into precisely that fact he's accuse the w.h.o. of being as he puts it china centric what appears to particularly riled the president is the fact that the w.h.o. advised against blocking international travel shortly after president trump imposed a ban on travel from china at the end of january president trump saying without specifying exactly what he means that the w.h.o. has made many mistakes in terms of dealing with the pandemic and has said that threats or non threats to withdraw funding from the organization this is what he had actually criticized and disagreed with my travel ban at the time he did it and

they were wrong they've been wrong about a lot of things and then a lot of information early on they didn't want to do very seem to be very china centric. and we have to look into that so we're going to look into it we pay for people majority of the money that they get they called it wrong they call it wrong they really they missed a call they could have called it months earlier they would have known and they should have known and they probably didn't like the president also claims that he didn't see a memo sent by one of his advisors in late january warning of the coronavirus. indeed yes and there were 2 memos one in late january as you say and the other one in late march the author of the memoranda was peter navarro an economic advisor to president trump in that january memo he's warned of the coming pandemic he predicted that as many as $600000.00 americans could use lose their lives be

an economic impact of some 6 trillion dollars he also in that memo interesting lee enough proposed cutting all flights from china to the united states something that president did a couple of days after then there was a 2nd memorandum released at the end of february that was sent to the national security council as well but in this particular one was sent directly to president trump to now in that he raises his estimates of the amount of death saying that between 2 and 3000000 americans could die in the pandemic he also lists specific needs at the federal government should be looking towards 1000000000 facemask for your exact example respirators ventilators giving specific figures in terms of the requirements that are going to be needed now president trump says no i didn't see that those memos he said he'll take a look at it later on tonight but he claims he did not see them at all and says

well even if he didn't see them he did do the right thing in terms of the 1st memorandum and that is blocking off travel from china to the united states saying as well that he thought clearly that he and his economic advisers were on the same lines but what president didn't refer to all those very specific warnings that gives in his fear greed the 29th memorandum and that is how many ventilators are going to be needed how many risk for ages how many test kits how many masks this at a time when the trumpet ministration was playing down the impact of the virus. dismissing it to a very large degree and certainly president trump could have been aware off these details that were given for him even though he denies that he did a review those memoranda there are people in the white house who most certainly would have had all this mike on a grim day as far as the number of coronavirus linked deaths reported in the u.s.

. indeed yes many new york states have the highest recorded toll and indeed the highest recorded told throughout the united states particularly significant in new york is that for the past few days the number of fatalities has been dropping and now all of a sudden it's gone right up again just giving an indication of how careful any predictions have got to be in terms of reaching an apex or plateau in terms of dealing with the virus but the figures throughout the united states and in new york in particular show that the crisis is not going away out of there as mike hanna reporting live there from washington mike many thanks indeed and as we reported france has become before country to register more than 10000 coronavirus linked deaths but there has been a decline in intensive care admissions paul brennan takes a look at how france and other european nations are coping. the arrow points down

but the sign urges caution after 5 consecutive days of fewer and fewer new deaths spain source sharp increase in coronavirus fatalities on tuesday. nonetheless the rise was attributed to weekend deaths only now being recorded and that overall the trend remains downward spanish firefighters are playing a vital role in support of the medical professionals fire crew volunteers are decontaminating ambulances and other public authority vehicles which have been carrying coronavirus patients much important this thirst for the most important thing we can do is give our best to the situation there are many different groups working and the most important are the public health workers who are movie month and we must give all we have because we're going to we're going to be. in the french capital paris city authorities are now banned outdoor exercise between the hours of 10 am and 7 pm amid concern that too many people were just using it as an excuse to go outside police are stepping up in force and. as total french

fatalities from the virus past 10000 on tuesday president macro was listening. the concerns of medical center staff one detail how a lack of protective gallons is the main problem here is growing your breath is the most well thought out plan didn't predict that china would be hit a little countries would have the peak at the same time and the protective materials we thought were of no value 6 months or one year ago the most idiotic thing to do and all of a sudden we're in trouble the pandemic continues to challenge european democracy and poland's right wing government is pressing on with presidential elections next month despite a chorus of public and political opposition the plan still needs senate approval but there were bitter exchanges in the lower chamber yes we pulled it i'm ashamed that i'm sharing the parliament floor with people like this people who are insensitive to those who are begging for help today mothers fathers entrepreneurs workers who are losing yet another day just for the sake of how donta power

coronaviruses generated new respect and affection for the medical staff on the front line of the outbreak and on choose day world health day as designated by the w.h.o. its director general urged more recruitment to address staff shortages one of the lessons i hope the world learned from 19 is that we must invest in nurses and midwives without them the world would indeed be in a very dark place right now paul brennan al-jazeera the u.k.'s prime minister johnson is spending a 2nd night in intensive care as he battles covert 19 foreign secretary dominic robb who stepped in to lead government says that johnson is stable if barker reports. this is where the most powerful man in britain is on the close observation downing street say the prime minister who is 55 is stable and a good spirits he is conscious and does not have pneumonia he's been given oxygen

but house and been put on a ventilator as one nearby if needed. the foreign secretary dominic robb will stand in for johnson when necessary leading the government's daily coronavirus cabinet meeting and a briefing in downing street he's an experienced politician but he's had little time to prepare it comes as a shock to all of us he's not just the prime minister for all of us in cabinet he's not just our boss he's also a colleague and he's also a friend so some prayers are with the prime minister at this time with kerry and with his whole family and i'm confident he'll pull through because if there's one thing i know about this prime minister he's a fighter and he'll be back at the helm leading us through this crisis in short order. this was johnson a week after being diagnosed applauding health workers for their efforts he's shown

persistent symptoms for 2 weeks. soon after arriving in hospital he tweeted i went into hospital for some routine tests as i'm still experiencing coronavirus symptoms i mean good spirits and keeping in touch with my team as we work together to fight this virus and keep everyone safe but his symptoms worsened on monday evening there was clearly much more cause for concern. messages of support have been flooding in for the prime minister across britain's political spectrum including the newly elected leader of the labor party we will support the government where we can do that but we will challenge the what is necessary but the purpose of the challenge is to make sure that all mistakes they can be put right or things need to happen more quickly that can happen more quickly world leaders have sent messages of support on twitter with the italian and french presidents hoping for a speedy recovery is speaking from the white house donald trump described johnson

as a good friend i found boris to be a fantastic person just like a fantastic warm strong smart guy he loves his country you see that i mean he fought like like hell for his country and intensive care is big stuff. this is a challenging time for johnson's family is beyond say kerry simmons is recovering from the virus herself she's pregnant with their 1st child they haven't been able to see each other for several weeks. johnson's personal battle with the virus has shaken the government and the country just as scientists say britain is entering one of the most deadly weeks of the pandemic. neave barkha al-jazeera. a weather update next here on out 0 then voting during the pandemic the u.s. presidential primary in wisconsin goes ahead after a last minute attempt to postpone it failed. here here's my.

of society here in mexico there is a there's a growing worry that the migrant detention centers migrant shelters are a ticking time bomb for potential covert 19 contagion for hearing human rights organizations like amnesty international and doctors without borders calling on the mexican government to release to release people that are being held in these migrant detention centers citing these health risks now while we're also seeing immigration policy coalesced we're also witnessing the united states starting to use covert 1000 as a pretext to impose anti immigrant policies take a look. closed this is the view many motorists see when arriving at the us mexico border last month the 2 nations agreed to restrict all non-essential border crossings an effort to mitigate 900 contagion under the new emergency coronavirus measures the u.s. also announced that strict new immigration policies would be imposed every week our

border agents encounter thousands of unscreened unvetted in honor of the race entries from dozens of countries and we've had this problem for decades for decades you know the story but now it's. the financial emergencies and all of the other things that we've declared we can actually do something about it we're taking a very strong hold of that and we have before but this is now at a level that nobody's ever approached. taking a very strong hold has meant the closure of immigration courts and the suspension of hearings for migrants into silence seekers most of whom come from countries like . and hundreds illinois people by feel good on that but it's a big concern for all of those who are waiting for a court hearing it was meant to have a hearing on the 30th because of corona virus that has been postponed all over cases here everyone's it's very important. but there are now thousands of people like o.c.s. the other who are in limbo with no idea how long they'll be forced to wait in
