can i just this is the directly that's coming on on you tube as you're saying i'm concerned about the frontline. keeping you up to date and we can come back and beating back the stream on al-jazeera. right now in a. couple of weeks ago started. as i have heard a lot of good stories the u.s. president says he's taking a controversial drug for corona virus that his own health experts have warned against. cell robin you're watching al-jazeera live my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 30 minutes desperate for food and medical aid in one of the poorest

neighborhoods of santiago hundreds of chileans defy quarantine orders. in farming town of crookwell looking at talent escalating trade disputes between the government and china is putting out cultural exports and jobs every. and the f.b.i. says the study could at accused of a triple shooting at a naval base at al qaida links. him to the program he touted it as again change when the coronavirus pandemic began now president donald trump has revealed he's taking a regular dose of an unproven drug us government health experts warned last month of potentially fatal side effects from hydroxy chloroquine which has long been used against malaria but trump says he's taking

a pill every day after requesting it from the white house doctor. the frontline workers many many are taking it i happened to be taking it i happened to be take it . or actually forgot to take it in hydroxybutyrate point when right now you know a couple of weeks ago started to get it because i think it's kind of had a lot of good stories and if it's not good i'll tell you right doctor to get hurt by it it's been around for 40 years for malaria for a loop as for other things i take it frontline workers take it a lot of doctors take excuse me now the president's remarks about his own drug regime came as the u.s. death toll from quote a virus passed 90000 mike hanna has more from the white house. president trump indicating that he started taking the drug a week and a half ago this sort of will appear following a letter from an unnamed doctor in westchester in upstate new york who tout the use

of the drug in this letter to president trump which he quoted in the course of this news conference now it's very important to note that the food and drug administration the f.d.a. has cautioned against the use of hydroxy chloroquine this it did about 2 weeks ago so president trump by his own admission started taking the drug few days after the f.d.a. his own if d.a. advised extreme caution in terms of using it for the treatment of coronavirus and also saying it should only be used in a hospital situation or in the clinical trial now the f.d.a. recommendation followed a report by the u.s. veterans health administration which did take a look into a small study in the use of my drugs a quarter chloroquine it found that the mortality rate actually increased with people using the drugs in its reported said that 27.8 percent of those who were being treated for corona virus with hydroxy chloroquine the death rate was 27

percent when a zinc additive was added to the hydroxy quite a clerical in that death rate dropped to 22 a but those who were not given either of these drugs or the cocktail the death rate was heart of that 11 percent so it was there as a result of this report along with another number of other global studies that the f.d.a. made this recommendation a recommendation which president trump has just completely trampled over. well trump has consistently pushed hydroxy chloroquine in as a treatment the drug is usually used to treat or prevent malaria and rheumatic diseases such as arthritis but there's no concrete scientific evidence so far that it can help fight the coronavirus studies in france and china haven't found it was wasn't effective in treating patients with covert 90 in fact experts have warned against it saying it could cause heart attacks last month both the european and

u.s. drug regulators said it should only be used in hospitals and under close supervision dr bob arnot is a former chief medical correspondent at c.b.s. and n.b.c. news and joins me now from stow in vermont good to have you with us again on the program it does seem a thing you're in the same camp that one scientific study after another continues to confirm that hydro chloro queening is not the solution to the covert $900.00 pandemic. oh it certainly is and you know rendez of here is the only f.d.a. approved drug at this point for very sick people what's important to us let's look at we call hard endpoints that is what are they trying to prove and your correspondent actually report there on the v.a. study showing 28 percent death with the dropsy clark went and 11 percent if you didn't take it at all so that was again very sick patients in the v.a. another new study just 2 days ago that tang's study that was looking at how long

does it take to get rid of the virus in your body and that study too in patients who had mild to moderate disease show there was absolutely no difference now the treating thing about what the president is doing is this when you look at the entry of the virus into the body has i think of a spike protein here that then goes on to a particular receptor needs to or scepter it's meant to perhaps block that in theory and then once it gets into the body it like some more and more acid environment and the hydroxy corkran can make it less acid so it's a theoretical basis to take it for prevention and there's a current trial going on with no results where you look at hard endpoints it's sort of looking like apples oranges in great foods and trying to compare all these studies is that why we're often the herring that when torah quitting is mentioned it's often said you know you mustn't take it without medical supervision or that you you have to be and. in a hospital scenario for the doctors to give it to you a device special circumstances. so what's so interesting is that you know

because the studies are also poorly done we don't have any really good answers for chinese studies french studies you look at them you really can't pick and choose so you're right you do want to really good hospital place clinical trial with patients to be able to say for sure but the other piece of it is this there is a thing in medicine we call a long queue t. center of simply if you're looking your e.k.g. the distance between 2 parts of it goes longer and longer if you go and given hydroxy cork when and if you add as if there are mice and to it it gets even longer which does put people at risk for sudden death the best hospitals in america right now are saying the never risk their patients are getting is that what they call poly pharmacy it's been on too many drugs they're finding which straight supportive care giving no drugs at all they're doing better than if they load them up with all kinds of drugs that are have proven in trials that are poorly conducted don't do the effects of covert 19 is still being assessed and analyzed all the way sort of

effects various age groups those with sort of various underlying health issues i mean how does adding an unproved medical treatment to the mix make the situation difficult for health workers when research is still trying to find a long term kill. so is breaking up the little bit there but i've got you right in terms of you when you look at all of these various co-morbidities when you look at the diabetes and high blood pressure in the corner yarder disease that various people have with this you know you add these other drugs to it and you get you really get bad results the one thing they're finding now and i see use is a tremendous numbers of a read me is irregular heart rates because of the amount of hydroxy clark when that's being used at this point. it's always good to get you know your insights and your analysis bob thanks for joining us from sto in vermont thank you so great

thank you so much. well in brazil people living in one of those biggest slums have protested against what they say is a lack of help from the state to fight the pandemic. they say some people have been without running water for several days meanwhile is warning the city's hospitals will run out of space in 2 weeks brazil has latin america's worst outbreak with more than 245000 reported cases and over 16000 deaths saying in the region violent protests of also broke out in one of the poorest neighborhoods of chile's capital hundreds of protesters broke quarantine orders to demand food and medical aid right police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowd some threw stones and molotov cocktails at the police santiago imposed a citywide lockdown on friday after huge search in corona virus cases are latin america editor lucien newman is in the capital. what's happening is that what

authorities had been hoping would not occur has just begun the president had last night addressed the nation calling on chileans to be patient to understand or rather to let them know that the government understood that they were facing a dire situation poverty unemployment hunger in some cases and promising that the government would step in immediately to help in fact it promised to distribute 2500000 boxes of food as soon as possible but clearly in the neighborhood of a bosky here inside of the hour which is one of the poorest neighborhoods in the metropolitan region this was not enough or certainly not soon enough they came out in mass to protest throwing rocks at riot police who responded with water cannon and tear gas scenes very very similar or very reminiscent of the demonstrations that we've been seeing in chile for social reforms that began in october and that

only ended when the pandemic began or at least they were put on pause if you like so this is the problem though the real fear here is that this could snowball and be replicated in many many other poor neighborhoods now keep in mind that in this particular area they have been under quarantine for more than a month that means that the people living there haven't been able to work for a month they've been left without any money and they're in a far worse shape perhaps than in other parts of the city that were just put under lockdown on friday. france and germany all proposing a relief and over $540000000000.00 to help your recover from the pandemic their leaders held a video conference to discuss the initiative on monday the proposal suggests members bore the funds together as a group differences in europe over how to push forward with an economic relief plan the touch of bottle of paris. with the leaders of france and germany say that the aim of this $545000000000.00. recovery fund is to try and help revive certain

economic sectors in the european union certain member states countries regions that have been particularly badly affected by the coronavirus pandemic now the idea is that this money would be bored of the international markets now both emanuel mark kroll and angela merkel said that it was absolutely fundamental that the european union come together at this time and show solidarity with some member states that have really struggled over the past weeks and months and will continue to do so in the future because of course the coronavirus pandemic is far from over in many ways even though we have seen the numbers of infections and cases drop over the past few days in some european countries while this initiative has been welcomed by their heads in the of the e.u. in brussels by the commissioner and the head of the e.u. council who say it's very much in line with their own thinking as they are formulating their own strategy it is also been welcomed on the international

but a week of frantic talks between teachers unions and the government still hasn't convinced everyone who thinks this is all happening too fast ministers appointed to other european countries where classes have started again portugal went back on monday but 2 english councils liverpool and hartley have both said they are still too many local coronavirus cases to safely open schools on the government's timetable scotland and wales say they won't reopen yet either even teachers organizations that are now on board are still extremely anxious and ultimately what we would say is that the decision around opening and closing a school wrist with the head teacher and a governing board all the trustees and we would definitely support them if in their judgement they could safely do that and they need more time to plan and towards it there are warnings though that the longer schools the sharks the more poor kids are affected by disparities in home schooling kids from the richest families are
