elsewhere in washington d.c. residents have been waiting in increasingly longer lines to get tested they've also expressed frustration about how the outbreak among politicians there might impact the local community as on the reports. for these people 1600 pennsylvania avenue is not home but washington d.c. is on tuesday testing sites in america's capitol like this one only about 6 kilometers north of the white house were very busy and there were no shortage of people who have an opinion on president donald trump's words and actions in recent days like mark thomas who came to get tested after a coworker died from kovi he said his trump left the hospital he couldn't bear to watch the news coverage. because this is a joke right now. and he. should be. so i don't want to watch him. running

around the streets juliette stedman who also came to get tested after a neighbor was infected said she was not surprised trump took off his mask upon returning to the white house. but completely in line with. incredibly selfish and this 79 year old woman said the president downplaying the coronavirus threat was disrespectful to the more than 210000 americans who have lost their lives to the virus. and. some of the things that he said and not listening to science just in the past several days here in washington d.c. the demand for covert testing has jumped by more than 80 percent and officials say they think they know why i think because one of the the president's

positive tests but not just his positive test but seeing how the test has been how the virus spread through some of the white house staff as well has probably. then for lack of a better term a cue to action for a lot of people who have possibly been in crowds where they didn't social distance where they were vigilant necessarily about washing their hands or wearing a face mask to say you know what i think i want to be on the safe side and i think i need to get tested in a city where the couvade outbreak at the white house he's hearing very close to home gabriel's sandow which is here washington the world trade organization is predicting global trade will shrink by less than expected this year it had forecasted 12.9 percent for due to the pandemic it now says 9.2 percent is more

a rifle and started shooting fortunately i don't think anybody with injured nobody was killed but the point is that some of these followers are going to take actions into their own hands q not have been very dangerous the other think you and it has done it it's co-opted or hijacked the save the children hash tag save the children of a very legitimate international ngo that really does save children but they are claiming the children are in danger where they're not in danger and that in fact is putting them in more danger because the organization is designed to protect children have been hampered as a result of human ons work years ago the motto at facebook with move fast and break things and now it seems like it's a break things and move slowly because they should have responded a long time ago to this threat they are finally getting their act together it's taken a while you know today they took down a donald trump post that was felt spreading false information that that coded with know a lot more dangerous than the flu or less dangerous than the flu so they're finally

taking action but they've been reluctant because every time they do they get pushback from conservatives who aren't really focused on ideology they're focused on behavior i mean the conservatives are claiming that facebook is politically discriminating but it's really how you act on facebook that gets you in trouble not your ideology. turkey's foreign minister is criticizing international efforts to end the conflict between as the jan in armenia. says diplomacy has failed to resolve the decades old conflict over the region of no god no cattle bark or nato says ankara should pressure its ally as a very jaan to deescalate bernard smith reports from goddess in armenia. amidst the burning wreckage of a bombardment of stepan aka the largest city in the goanna karabakh evidence says on the city international cluster bombs explode in the air scattering hundreds of smaller bombs indiscriminately more than 100 countries have banned them but not as
