a game changer against covert 19 that he himself takes one pill of hydroxy chloroquine with zinc every morning you 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 coated 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 risk mcclurkin because of irregular heart irregular heart rhythms and even in some cases death a greater proportion 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 covert 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 clark when it 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 heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington. is costing as a professor of medicine at georgetown university he says studies have found the drug is more likely to cause increased risk to coronavirus patients. well as prescribed mostly as an extreme malaria medication but there's

been some interest in the scientific community about its use as a potential antiviral agent that would affect. beneficially treat 19. unfortunately done studies and thus far the studies of suggested there is no evidence that it's effective and that there's some good evidence that it can enhance risks including the risk of death so this is something that the u.s. drug regulator the f.d.a. has warned against. the medical adviser to the white house task force on the pros iris chinese are she has urged the public not to

do it and so the president is is creating mixed message i should say were another cent this is supposed to be a prescription medication and there's no indication that the president's position shrewdly prescribed it although the president seems to imply that the that there is physicians said that well it's ok well ok is not good enough it is evidence it needs to be prescribed and donald trump is now thriving to permanently freeze funding to the world health organization and a 4 page letter is called for substantive change within 30 days the bait over the response to cover 19 is becoming increasingly political with calls for global inquiry chinese president xi jinping says the questions should wait until the outbreak is under control his diplomatic editor james baines. 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 reserve 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 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. demonstrators in chile calling for help from the government of clashed with police in one of the capital's poorest neighborhoods hundreds defied a citywide locked on to demand food and other vital supplies in america at a time to see and hear when reports from santiago. angry residents of the community in central had begun by blocking streets and screaming we're hungry right police try to dispel the crowd with water cannon in tear gas but they refused to budge and responded with rocks and sticks seems reminiscent of the social upheaval that

brought chile for months until the coronavirus pandemic saw the pause button hit on protests. a bosc is a poor and overcrowded municipality where the majority struggled to make enough to survive even before they were ordered into total quarantine in mid april a full month before the entire capital was locked down on friday people say they're not against the quarantine just starvation but what about just get out of here you know this woman that police. this was exactly what many predicted might happen in the face of widespread unemployment and growing hardships brought on by confinement and a deepening recession. the night before president sebastian pinera had announced a plan to distribute 2500000 boxes of food and cleaning products for the needy across the country less than 24 hours later he rushed to address the nation again

a recovery fund of some description and so far all that's been done by the european level is to create new loan instruments where this new fund differs if it goes ahead as france and germany propose is that it will give direct grants to regions and sectors which are in difficulty and that is game changing because it means that there's the possibility of a region of italy or a region of spain or an industry receiving actual cash and not having to repay it to enable it to recover from the co it 19 lot that it's not yet done deep in it will face several obstacles because broadly speaking northern europe has been against such a fund and southern europe has been for it france sits on the borderline between north and south germany tradition has been very reluctant to engage in this kind of spending but seems now to have agreed that it will be up to the germans and the french to persuade their partners in particular the dutch the finns and the

a significant difference between the 2. look at that is for individual companies that is to have opinions in my be a strong. case and it looked like it was leading only shoot it has paid a price and so there are going to political costs political benefits and economic costs at this point is the government just wants to know and it will take a degree that doesn't require it to step back from its initial inquiry coal as a success in the of the process of following this through and putting this pressure on china to for their all putting this pressure on for there to be an investigation it clearly has had a significant impact on. her within a story on how bad could this get for the agriculture industry and farmers in australia. but we try to approach is $1000000.00 still in hundreds of millions of dollars of losses danger trade is also very large and as your poet

said this is coming at a time when a long running drought has ended and bombers finally have a reason to be optimistic so there is no doubt that the farming industry is at risk here and that the government will need to find ways to support it if i don't and it markets and navigate through the split who process as quickly as possible good to get your thoughts on this donlin we appreciate it thank you very much it's my pleasure japan has fallen into recession for the 1st time in almost 5 years the global financial toll of the pandemic escalates the world's 3rd largest economy shrank in the 1st 3 months of the year as well as the last quarter of 2019 japan didn't go into full national lockdown but issued a state of emergency in april which severely affected supply chains and businesses the government has already announced a record one trillion dollars stimulus package. india has extended the world's biggest lockdown by another 2 weeks but it has eased some
