a decision against the world health organization i can't believe he's talking about politics when you look at the relationship they have to china so china spends 42000000 we spend 450000000 and everything seems to be china's way that's not right it's not fair to us and honestly it's not fair to the world at this point we're reevaluating our our funding with respect to the world health organization this is very consistent what president trump said since the beginning of his campaign. organizations have to work they have to deliver the outcomes for which they were intended president trump continued to endorse the use of the anti malaria drug hydroxy couric when ignoring the warning by many specialists that unsourced medical advice could prove dangerous zinc they say is ink the shit is zinc now and so it has to be recommended by doctors physicians but they say zinc i want to throw that out there because that's where they seem to be having the best.

that health security one's own production of medicines and health equipment is a greater issue than the national security issues like why why and this is not going to go away we're going to see relocation of production back to domestic countries japan in its latest phase to pass its allocated over $20000000000.00 for japanese companies to bring businesses back on the show and we have peter navarro the president's trade representative last week being very very clear about the u.s. drug companies and medical supply companies should bring that production back onshore. now japan is expected to extend its fate have imagined see over coronavirus from a session topping dollars a month of restrictions on tuesday from abroad has an interest from sell. increasing concerns just about the scale of the problem they are facing a one will prefect a cheap prefecture which is right in the middle of japan and it in cocoa price the

extent of the problem that may be discovered with the lack of testing that's going on in japan and we see that in the recent numbers a one day spike of more than 500 new cases which again sets another very worrying record f.-o. japan now some families in indonesia who have lost people to the coronavirus are having a hard time burying their loved ones and some parts of the country people have been protesting because they're afraid that the virus will spread in their communities jessica washington has a story from takata. in some towns in indonesia he is about the coronavirus can quickly turn into rage this ambulance was on its way to the local symmetry in brand new mouse carrying the body of a covert 19 patients can't. turn back the men say they don't want the body buried in their town this is the fate for many victims of covert 19 alone and isolated in their final hours and i wanted in death. i say it's up to the local mayor tries to

personal battle with covert 19 continues with him still in intensive care for the 1st time in days though some positive news on boris johnson's condition the latest from the hospital is that the prime minister remains in intensive care where his condition is improving i can also tell you that he has been sitting up in bed and engaging positively with the clinical team the prime minister is not only my colleague and my boss but also my friend and my thoughts are with him and his family the 55 year old tested positive 2 weeks ago he was admitted to hospital on sunday evening with a persistent high temperature and cough he was later moved to a specialist unit where he is conscious and has received oxygen scientists say the u.k.'s entering the deadliest phase of the outbreak in east london an exhibition center converted into a 500 bed hospital and only 9 days has admitted its 1st patient and this london

hospital medics are handling a surge of sufferers but there are worries about the availability of lifesaving equipment we've got enough people that's difficult because inevitably we've had staff go off we have got enough oxygen our current problem today is having enough great ventilators some of those admitted are young and fit with no underlying health problems you don't know. how bad it is until it actually hits you and so i would absolutely. everybody to listen to the government guidance and stay away from people this is the hospital where johnson is under close observation just across the river thames from the houses of parliament the scene of so many of johnson's recent victories only a few weeks ago he was telling journalists how he was still shaking hands with people some of them patients in hospital but that was before current restrictions

before the death toll started to accelerate and now johnson like so many others across the u.k. have to put their faith in one thing modern medicine in his absence johnson's designated deputy dominic robb and the rest of the cabinet are debating when to lift the lockdown is costing british businesses billions of dollars after facing criticism for failing to impose restrictions quickly enough there's now a danger of the government lifting things too soon a risk known all too well by london's transport workers 14 have done it after contracting cope with 19 most of them bus drivers the price of keeping our cities moving needs barker al-jazeera london. in spain $757.00 more people have died with new infections also on the rise that takes the total number of deaths there to more than 14 and a half 1000 the health minister maintains that the rise is small and consistent

with what her was hope to been a slowdown spain is one of the west affected countries with more than 146000 confirmed cases of corona virus now 2 other world news and the un's chemical weapons watchdog has blamed the syrian government for a series of deadly sarin and chlorine gas attacks against civilians and 2017 diplomatic editor james bass has the details. the saw good of the use of chemical weapons in syria has been long and horrific but now finally the results of a technical investigation that finds the assad regime responsible the inquiry by the international chemical weapons body the o.p.c. w. finds that latter meena in hamburg governorates was attacked 3 times in march 27th seen over a week long period twice the syrian air force used bombs containing sarin this is the aftermath of the other occasion patients being treated for breathing

difficulties after an improvised barrel bomb containing chlorine was dropped from the syrian helicopter into the hospital in the town. the report will be delivered to the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists so after such clear findings is he no prepared to directly condemn the assad government the secretary general his position is unchanged that any it is. intolerable that anyone anywhere is going to go weapons and impunity for use of the. equally unacceptable and it's imperative to identify and hold those accountable who have used the 'd chemical weapons don't you say it's intolerable for anyone to do this but the o.p.c. somebody says that the assad government did it will you not condemn the assam got such a government and why are you playing this lane game of not taking sides trying to

be equal to both sides aren't you leaving one very important side out of this and that's the syrian people who have been gassed and over the last 50 years by the assad regime have been executed and talk shit. we are on the front lines with the syrian people we have been our humanitarian colleagues have been there throughout throughout this conflict trying to support the syrian people in their daily lives so why is the u.n. pulling its punches well the answer is russia syria's closest ally and that's why you're unlikely to see any accountability for the attacks in the supreme court the u.n. security council has tried to refer syria to the international criminal court in the past but russia a public member has used its feet oh james pays al-jazeera at the united nations by u.s. senator bernie sanders has ended his bid to be the democratic party's presidential

nominee he's x. it clears the way for former vice president joe biden to become the nominee for november's election sandor sold his supporters the coronavirus and that it was a factor in his decision. i know that there may be some in our movement who disagree with the decision who would like us the fight on the last ballot cast at the democratic convention i understand opposition but as i see the crisis gripping the nation exacerbated by a president unwilling or unable to provide any kind of credible leadership and the work that needs to be done to protect people in this most does brit our i cannot in good conscience continue to about the campaign they cannot win and which would interfere with the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour. alan fischer in washington says sanders decision is no surprise. he's really been

politically dead man walking the same since super tuesday that was really when bernie sanders lost momentum you remember that joe biden didn't do well in the 1st 3 contests in the caucuses in the primaries but then he came back from the political dead in south carolina after that he immediately got the endorsement from people to judge from clubber sure that was significant and important for him and he did very well on super tuesday it made things very very difficult for bernie sanders but when he talks about how he has moved the political debate in the united states there's no doubt over the last 4 years he's done exactly that people are not talking about providing some sort of universal health care in the united states they're talking about free state college for people in the united states he's taught they are talking about income equality because of the issues the bernie sanders has raised now barely sanders did not give an endorsement to joe biden

that's not surprising because you don't give away all your cards at the table he wants to make sure that a lot of the ideas a lot of the things that he's been talking about will form the platform of the democratic convention and also the democratic election platform as they move in to the presidential campaign michael fauntroy is an associate professor of political science at howard university he says sanders decision may had the republicans. as i was hearing the clip of him giving his remarks today the 1st thing i thought of was 4 years ago where he continued to hammer on hillary clinton and continue the primary contest even though it was pretty clear that he had no real chance to win the nomination that activity that posed to reality activity week and hillary clinton going into the general election and made it more difficult for her to compete with donald trump who had already marshaled the republican forces going into the general election so i think this is an example of

a lesson learned bernie sanders does not want to go to and in history as the person responsible for weakening to one of whom presidential races and so i think and never gone is a great example of how he has accepted the reality of the situation and he knows that perhaps if he'd done this earlier 4 years ago donald trump may have never won the presidency the republican strategy going into november senator going to a fractured democratic party because they expected bernie sanders to continue in the race deep into the spring and perhaps even into the early summer and that his forces would be so angry with biden's with really vice president biden that they would not want to be enthusiastic supporters so by jumping out now he complicates the the republican plan now british man has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter 39 people who were found dead in the back of

a struck last october the bodies of 31 men and 8 women were found in southeast england a result of an alleged people smuggling operation 4 out of suspects have been charged over the death. i spent a decade since keg a stance president bakiev was overthrown in a power struggle thousands died when protesters stormed the presidential palace as robin force a walker was there and looks at whether the revolution brought kyrgyzstan the democracy it promised. april the 7th 2010 bishkek protestors march on an unpopular president. of. riot police retreat. some of the protesters are armed. the presidential compound is breached. security forces fired into the crowd more than 80 people killed that day and. want to claim that they're in control the day

that they take in power no police on the streets that's not the. capital. by the time i reached the capital the city was being looted and president bakiev had fled he was widely reviled for his corruption and nepotism and eventually he found sanctuary in belarus but that didn't put a stop to the violence and the turmoil broadcast internationally for the 1st in june hundreds were killed in interethnic violence tens of thousands fled their homes i saw the city of osh in flames. the interim government led by rosa autumn by the struggled to fill the power vacuum. but it did eventually strengthen parliament and hold free elections it was difficult. to become.

sort of sacrifice unfortunately. my mission sacrifice for this democratic victory 10 years on and kyrgyzstan has seen coalition government and the next president obama's back at him by standing down as required in 2017 a democratic 1st in a region of presidents for life still at imbibes critics accused him of jailing opponents and trying to install a puppet successor if that was his plan it failed his chosen successor suit and by gen deck of now has atom by the hind guards a problem in this the main governing body but still because you have such a heavy legged this year 003 theory and that it received a show called. so it is very difficult to 0 delete.

the. virus may have dampened the commemoration but the revolution has not forgotten 3 presidents in 10 years is democracy of a sort with thankfully no return to mass violence robyn 1st year walker al-jazeera. well again i'm fully back of over the headlines on al-jazeera president donald trump is doubling down on his criticism of the world health organization he says the agency has been unfair to the world by taking decisions that favor china the w.h.o. has a charm to stop politicizing the cone of ice pandemic. we're losing more bodybags i think we would have done. and he would have been much better serving the people that is supposed to serve if they gave

a correct analysis and everything was i said china centric everything was going to be fine no human to human keep the borders open he wanted me to keep the borders open and close the borders despite him and that was a hard decision to make at the time we're all together made a decision against the world health organization i can't believe he's talking about politics when you look at the relationship they have to china so china spends 42000000 we spend 450000000 and everything seems to be china's way that's not right it's not fair to us and honestly it's not fair to the world and global trade is expected to fall by up to a 3rd at this year as a pandemic brings economic activity to a standstill the head of the world trade organization says this may be the deepest global recession in living memory worse than the financial crisis 12 years ago the saudi led coalition has announced a cease fire in yemen amid the corona virus outbreak is set to last 2 weeks and

will come into effect on thursday the coalition has been fighting who is the rebel since the war in yemen began in 2015 but in the past few hours they have been reported attacks from both sides the un's chemical weapons watch song has released its 1st report blaming the syrian government for sarin and chlorine attacks against civilians the report highlighted 3 attacks where government forces use sarin bombs on heavily congested areas in hama province including a hospital back in 2017. u.s. senator bernie sanders has ended his bed to be the democratic party's presidential nominee is x. it clears the way for former vice president joe biden to be the party's nominee for november's election. with headlines on al-jazeera as always more news on our website at al-jazeera dot com the latest on the coronavirus demick on their al-jazeera dot com up next it's a story reporting in the field means i often get to witness not just the news as a breaking but also of history as it's unfolding crossing from serbia into hungary

the refugee there might be covering politics of major and the next i might become like protests. what's most important to me just talking to people understanding what they're going through that i can be the headlines in the most human way. here and we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. ok and join the stream today and you know for about a mexican families migration to the u.s. we'll look at why the book is striking and with american latino's on the line. ringback and i don't really know it's journalists covering organized crime and drug trafficking and you are industry. the book is called american and it tells the story of a middle class.
