i will be fabulously wealthy and i will be in christ for thank. the many who still live on al-jazeera. right now the. couple of weeks ago started. this i think it's kind of 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 of warned against . i'm right about this and this is all just here a live from doha also coming up in chile's capital over the coronavirus lock down

protesters in need of food and money plead for help. on nicholas cage in the israeli and farming town of crookwell looking italian escalating trade disputes between the government and china is putting out a cultural exports and jobs at least. libya's you are not here now as government seizes control of a key air base from forces loyal to warlord. donald trump says he continues to test negative for corona virus but the us president has also revealed he's taking a highly controversial medication as a preventative measure against infection the drug called a queen is used to treat malaria it has not been approved to treat over 19 in the united states except in emergency cases al-jazeera is highly jocasta as the story.

president donald trump is so confident in the drug he himself dubbed a game changer against covert 19 that he himself takes one pill of hydroxy chloroquine with zinc every morning i have taken it for about a week and a half and i'm still here the president's unsolicited admission came at the end of a winding press conference next to restaurant executives about reopening the country what do you have to lose ok what do you have to learn that's despite no evidence of the drug working to prevent infection and own food and drug administration warning against using hydroxy chloroquine to treat covert outside of an emergency hospital setting a leading government immunologist testified before congress last week that he was demoted after doubting hydroxy clore whens efficacies we also knew that there were potential safety risks or clerk when they cause an irregular heart irregular heart rhythms and even in some cases death a greater portion of u.s.

military veterans who took the drug to treat cope with 19 did die according to a government study as compared to fellow patients who did not take hydroxy chloroquine and 2 larger studies from new york found the drugs offered no significant benefit to hospitalized patients trump said his faith in hydroxy chloroquine comes from anecdotes that make their way to the oval office. i get a lot of positive calls about it the american medical association says it strongly opposes the non f.d.a. approved use of hydroxy cork when without careful consultation with one's doctor trump says he has the white house doctor's approval he says he asked for it himself . castro al-jazeera washington. where president obama has consistently pushed hard talks of chloroquine the drug is usually used to treat or prevent malaria and pneumatic diseases such as arthritis but there's no concrete scientific evidence so

far that it can help fight coronavirus studies in france and china found it wasn't effective in treating patients with covert 19 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 medical doctor and former chief medical correspondent at n.b.c. news he spoke to al-jazeera a little bit earlier. the treating thing about what the president's 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 likes a 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 when you look at hard endpoints it's sort of looking like apples oranges in great fruits and trying to compare all these

studies the best hospitals in america right now are saying the number one risk their patients are getting is that what they call paul the 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 when you look at all of these various co-morbidities when you look at the diabetes and the high blood pressure and 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 say use is a tremendous numbers of a rhythm e is irregular heart rates because of the amount of hydroxy clark when that's being used at this point all the response took over 19 is becoming increasingly political as coals for an inquiry into how it began and how it's being handled chinese president xi jinping told a conference one but the world health organization the questions should wait until

the pandemic is under control the plot together james beings as more. it's a time when countries have been concentrating on their national responses to the virus and with tensions between china and the u.s. growing the un secretary general sounded frustrated his video link from new york to geneva wasn't working well but delegates heard him condemn the lack of global cooperation result one of you does express your the severity may have some talk of solidarity but very little unity in our response to cope with 19 countries have followed different sometimes contradictory strategies and we are all paying a high price for this many countries have ignored the recommendations of the world health organization as a result the virus has spread throughout the world and is now heading towards southern countries where it could have even more devastating effect and we risk new peaks and waves many nations want a full inquiry into the response to the virus including its origins in the city of

. the issue has become increasingly politicized with president trump suggesting it may have been manmade in his address china's president xi supported the idea of an inquiry but with very clear limits. that china supports the idea of a comprehensive review of the global response to covered 19 so that it's brought under control to collect experiences and address deficiencies but he wants the world health organization in charge of any inquiry and it's the w.h.o. under its leader dr ted ross that's been condemned by the trumpet ministration for its poor response and in particular being too close to china in an apparent attempt to conceal this outbreak at least one member state made a mockery of their transparency obligations with tremendous cost for the entire world we saw that w.h.o. failed at its core mission of information sharing and transparency when member

states do not act in good faith. this cannot ever happen again the status quo is intolerable w.h.o. must change and it must become far more transparent and far more accountable what we're seeing play out in geneva is likely to have reverberations around the world the growing antagonism between the u.s. and china is compounded by the fact that other major nations don't want to take sides because the 2 countries have so much economic clout and that's a recipe for global diplomatic deadlock james bowie's al-jazeera at the united nations. in brazil people living in one of palos biggest slums have protested against what they say is a lack of help from the states to fight the pandemic. they say some people have been without running water for several days meanwhile sao paulo's mayor is warning the city's hospitals will run out of space in 2 weeks brazil has

so we are working tirelessly to start distribution by the end of this week or the beginning of next week. with the 10s of thousands of chileans who have been left with nothing next week may seem like a lifetime away this latest protest shows that many chileans have already run out of patience and the biggest fear is that this incident could well snowball into far more widespread protests that could be even more difficult to control than chile's earlier so so the explosion we see in yemen al jazeera suddenly out. still ahead a knowledge of 0 stores prepared to reopen as some restrictions means in parts of india even as the country sees its largest surgeon virus cases. the u.s. government says it has evidence al qaeda was behind the fatal shooting at a pensacola military airbase.

actually quite troubling the big question right now is how is this going to work this is going to be gradual on a $33.00 phases per se companies and businesses and manufacturers that are going to be reopening will be doing so only if they meet a certain criteria being able to guarantee that their employees can be meet a certain social distancing requirement making sure that their employees that their employees have personal protective gear the big question right now is over the automotive sector the manufacturing sector specifically along mexico's northern border with the united states these are manufacturers that are under tremendous amount of pressure from the united states to reopen mexico has june 1st as this target date to reopen the national economy but it is expected that many of these manufacturers will reopen even before that date libya's u.n. worker by his government says it's retaking control of the oh what t.-a air base that was being used as a headquarters for warlord cleef tough thought in the country's west the one hand

from on tripoli and i think in that sense we have to understand how it's changed the military calculus now have to have important to russian now defense systems that in recent days in order to safeguard and not frozen of value assets are free but after all bitterly over this asset since 2015 in fact since the person civil war that was sparked by philip after in 2014 now it's a major development because it really alters the way in which water can continue has a principal in tripoli. after took control of the bases in 2004. that's when he called on libyans to rise up against the former parliament in tripoli since then he has used it as his headquarters for his forces in western libya have turned had been launching his strikes from there since april 2019 to support his offensive

to seize control of the capital an offensive that has killed more than a 1000 people have to continues to launch a strike so on tripoli and it's a mighty good airport on the eastern outskirts of the city. but he no longer has any air base in the west why he still controls largest swath is of territory including oil fields across eastern and southern libya. but analysts say that the captioning. may tip the balance of power in the government's favor. and the response to the latest defeat after us forces are now expected to intensify their attacks on tripoli the government forces say they can now focus on defending the capital and moving towards distiller who are now the city is the last stronghold of have to his forces in the west of libya. without the what he says you know what a city in western libya. the u.s. department of justice and the f.b.i.
