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 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. 2 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. one goldberg is the editor of un dispatches and host of the global dispatches podcast he says the bickering between the u.s. and china over the world health organization isn't having much of an impact on the work of the w.h.o. . the resolution that's pending is well actually almost certainly passed unanimously by all a 194 member states of the world health organization and if you look at what the world health organization is doing on the ground it's not been terribly damaged by this political bickering between china and the united states in terms of its ability to conduct operations in places that are going to experience the highest burden of cases in the coming weeks and months in the global south the world health organization has been training health workers and standing up health systems mainly

in sub-saharan africa which it worry is will be affected terribly by the coronavirus in that they don't have the adequate kind of health systems that europe or the united states has and even though europe the united states has been so terribly devastated what the world health organization has been doing is trying to stand the ability of countries in the global south to take on the cove in 1000 pandemic themselves and with the international support in the u.k. the government is expected coronavirus testing to anyone over the age of 5 with symptoms that follows weeks of criticism over the number of dating tests are being conducted across the country the prime minister has set a target for the daily capacity of 200005 the end of the month schools in england set to reopen on june the forest they've been closed for 2 months to cover the spread of coronavirus even though the schools will only be open to start a new groups some people feel that opening is happening too quickly or
