not getting. every generation has its moments where individual sacrifice makes way for the good of those who come to. this world ours. an independent investigation is ordered into the world health organization handling the coronavirus and then. hello again i'm the star of the attack and this is out of there live from doha also coming up the un warns the pandemic is having a devastating impact on indigenous people well beyond the immediate threat to their health. they pay a big announcement attendant and in the wild for some ships around the wilds we

need the filipino seafarers facing an uncertain future. and the city is prime minister steps down after months of pressure related to the killing of his ex-wife . now there will be an independent investigation into the world health organizations handling of the current virus pandemic the move by member states comes as economic powers the u.s. and china continue to engage in a war of words over the outbreak that's now killed more than $300000.00 people china accuses the u.s. of avoiding responsibility and shifting the blame for its mishandling of the crisis after president onil trump threatened to permanently halt funding to the w.h.o. that means the agency would lose its in the largest single contributor to the u.s. gave more than 400000000 dollars last year trump issued the threat and the lesson to the head of the organization which he then. posted on twitter in it he accuses

the w.h.o. of mistakes in action he writes it's clear the repeated missteps by you and your organization in responding to the pandemic have been extremely costly for the wild he says officials backed china saying the only way forward for the world health organization is if it can actually demonstrate independence and then ends the lesson demanding major changes to the organization trump writes if the world health organization does not commit to may just stand to improvements within the next 30 days i will make my temporary freeze of u.s. funding to the world health organization permanent all the u.s. president also accuses china of being partly responsible for that other chinese actions and i think they've done a. very sad job in the last period of time and again the united states pays them $450000000.00 a year china pays them $38000000000.00 a year and they're a puppet of china. china centric to put it nicer but their puppet of china

made the u.s. tries to use china as an issue to shirk responsibility and bargain over its international obligations to the w.h.o. this is a miscalculation in the u.s. has picked the wrong target me when there is some truth in the u.s. leaders open later is full of hints perhaps and maybe tries to use specious methods to mislead the public and achieve the goals of smearing china's antivirus if it's an shoot responsibility for the united states on insufficient response this is futile a look at all the reaction from our white house correspondent can be held at very shortly but fast we go to london with us a bag who has been following all the developments of the. family as it let's start with this resolution at the meeting no objections it seems to this independent inquiry. yes that's quite remarkable that there were no objections considering what we've been hearing over the last 2 days in the attacks against the world health

organization and also finger pointing and blame towards china now this resolution does call for a review it calls for independent impartial and comprehensive review into how the world health organization dealt with the pandemic but also has text in the city called for looking into the origins of the virus it says to atlanta for the zoonotic source of the virus and how it was introduced into the human population that is to see how it was transferred from animals into humans and there will be field teams that go out and vesta gate that now in this resolution was 1st proposed last month china did oppose that they acted angrily towards australia because they were initially proposed that because china thought that they it was targeted against them now australia was calling for international investigation now it seems that the european union has put this forward they've had over 144 co-sponsors and china has been consulted so they didn't object the united states also be happy

because the text does include looking at the source and the origin of the virus it's not perfect but this seems to be consensus on it and the results of it are expected at next year's assembly and i thought me even watching this blame game game spat escalate not only between the u.s. and china but also now it seems between the u.s. and the w.h.o. itself now after this letter from trump is it actually clear what the u.s. wants the w.h. to do in the next 30 days. well not really the world health organization has consistently defended itself against the geisha it's still this a lot clearer what's expected over the next 30 days that this investigation will take place the world health organization have said that they will implement this at the soonest they can but some of the allegations of already been refuted by the world health organization some of those are the they did one of the risk of human

to human transmission the world health organization says that they put out a technical guidance in early january warning of human to human transmission also it said that the world health organization did analyze. china's transparency now the world health organization says that they warned the world that this was a medical emergency that this virus is in emergency of international concern one day before the united states put a posh ban on flights from china but there has been support for the world cup world health organization many countries have said and spoken about solidarity and unity but the world health organization wants more money and more support support going forward as a bag for us in london following all these developments at the w.h.o. thank you asses well let's now go to our white house correspondent candy halkett candy what are we hearing from the white house about all of these escalating tensions. but we know that the u.s.

mission to the u.n. is supportive of this resolution essentially happy with the impartial independent conference of review says it's important to understand not only the virus but the timeline which the world knew about it now it is important to note that the u.s. is distancing itself from one aspect of this resolution and that is with regard to patents that it feels that this could in some ways discourage innovation particularly by american inventors and scientists and so as a result is pulling back from that part of the resolution having said that the overall threat by the u.s. president is one that we did certainly expected i mean given the fact that the u.s. president 60 days ago there in april said there was a 60 day timeline in terms of suspending funding from the united states to the world health organization and now is threatening to make that finding withdrawal

permanent within 30 days pending this review it's also important to note in all of this that one of the accusations made by the president that the world health organization ignored credible reports of the virus spreading and in december has been disputed by some top least a peer reviewed journal here in the united states known as the lancet in fact they say that that assertion is factually incorrect still the president's threats are nothing new when it comes to kind of this america 1st at gender we've seen it repeatedly he campaigned on this on the campaign trail in 2016 we saw it play out with china once before particularly with the trade war the u.s. president putting very high tariffs on chinese goods into the united states in order to achieve structural trick change in the trade relationship so really what we're seeing is a new manifestation of that in many ways the president not afraid to exercise his might when he argues that the american taxpayer as the top. donor to the world

health organization did not get its money is worth in other words he feels there should have been more warning it was not sufficient and as a result now a really has had the us economy a literate so the u.s. president is trying to wield his might once again making the threat that this withdrawal is the top donor to the world health organization could be a permanent cut pending this investigation and of course we're also watching very carefully to see what else the u.s. president might have to say about all of this he'll be speaking again in the roosevelt room at 15 g.m.t. and of course here in al-jazeera will be watching carefully 'd for what he has to say about this and other topics we will indeed convey how get there our white house correspondent banking company. well the un is warning the corona virus is already having a devastating impact on indigenous people around the world and brazil doctors say the number of critically ill patients being airlifted out of the allison rainforest has increased by 60 percent since the start of this pandemic victoria reports.

a game changer against covert 19 that he himself takes one pill of hydroxy chloroquine with zinc every morning i'm trying to get high production for right now having a. couple of weeks ago i 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 heard but it's been around for 40 years for malaria for a loop as for other things the president 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 list 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 efficacy we also knew that there were

potential safety risks a 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 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 clore when 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 . hi joe castro al-jazeera washington well as we've been hearing the impact from

the coronavirus endemic is already being felt around the world the world bank says some 60000000 people could be pushed into extreme poverty this year now to provide some relief the banks emergency operations have reached 100 countries since march and says it's trying to protect the most vulnerable people to reinforce health systems and to support economic recovery nearly one 3rd of the total projects are in fragile and conflict affected countries they include afghanistan chad haiti and . the world bank has promised $160000000000.00 in grants and financial support over a 15 month period and that includes medical supplies for countries like pakistan the philippines and iraq well i spoke to david malpass he's the president of the world bank and he says that money for the imagined c. programs is coming from the world bank's existing portfolio and will be a mixture of redirected funds and entirely new programs. it's going to vary substantially country by country and the goal is to for the country to state what

is most useful for it and then find ways to provide that also i should note there is. ample that the programs are set up so that they're expandable that means that other at that bilateral donors. countries with higher incomes can contribute directly through these programs with very little. very little paperwork involved they get the quality of the world bank lending and they can add money to the programs and that's also true of the multilateral development banks for example the african development bank could be adding to these programs to countries that want more more spending to frontline health care providers that could be added to by other organisations around the world very very quickly meeting in a matter of days or or weeks mr mouth as i say that you are the wild bank along with the i.m.f. have also been calling for

a bilateral debt from the fed the world's poorest countries and i see the g 20 agreed to a suspension of that debt but that's essentially just a delay and it will have to be repaid at some point while developing countries are then still reeling from this pandemic what are your thoughts on how that should be addressed the 1st step is to have the moratorium work so the countries save cash flow immediately. and that needs to also be expanded to commercial creditors which is something some of the countries are working on and it will be up up to demand to and the world to figure out how that part of the process can work and then i think there ought to be before there's going to be an evaluation of the debt sustainability of country by country so has a country already taken on too much debt for 'd its. people to be able to pay and so there'll be $2.00 steps in that one is transparency trying to have more clear

disclosure of what those debts are and then moving to the issue of. whether the moratorium should be extended or made permanent that can be something for the country for the both the creditor and debtor countries to think about and talk about as the crisis goes on depends somewhat you know a key step in all of this is the safe reopening of the advanced economies that in many cases is the biggest beneficial step that would occur for the poor countries well let's bring you to some other news now and the search is prime minister has resigned after months of pressure over allegations of involvement and medha tell us about his coalition fell apos in parliament last monday and he was also a step down by the end of this week to make way for a new government to bonnie is suspected of conspiring to mete his former wife his current wife has been formally charged with that and they both deny any involvement
