deliberately misinterpreted by the fake news media he said his words had been taken out of context and had been misunderstood but i was asked to circle it has taken a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside but it does kill it and it would kill it on the head and that would make things much better that was done in the form of an sarcastic question to the reporters donald trump's claims the day before left health experts speechless during the white house press briefing trump suggested disinfectant injections and u.v. light could be used to treat patients and fecht it with corona virus supposing we hit the body with a tremendous whether it's. just a very powerful 8 and i think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it. supposing it were the lady you can which you can do either through the skin or. in some other way and i think you said you got it so it was interesting to

. see the disinfectant not in a minute one minute and is there a way we can do something. injection. or almost a cleaning the remarks were criticized by health experts who say disinfectants like bleach a dangerous when injected or ingested. on friday trump tried to clarify his comments and explain away what he said the day before. ok so. of course all they had to see was just you know the way it was in this i was smoking and you. once said. i was looking below i was looking at the doctors looking at some of the reporters i don't know if you were there you know i don't think you were there i was there and

i watched you know after you were there you were there i never forgot you were. you were not. ok. and only continued. ok although it's not in any of the questions from any other people ok did you know. you. well from all let's bring in t.w. stephens the months in washington d.c. so it was a sock has tics and other words the president was on the joking stephon who is buying that. sweden short nobody nobody's buying it at least not here in washington not across the political spectrum and i don't think that people will buy it definitely not buying it will be the journalists who were in the white house briefing room yesterday and anybody who had the chance as our viewers now to see what happened yesterday on on thursday the

president was not so cast it and he didn't joke he seemed to be very serious and put his health experts in a very uncomfortable position now he's peddling back and he's doing a trump style by not admitting that he may be may have been wrong or made a mistake but by saying well he was just the casting and that was not the case after 2 years it takes quite something to shock the world in relationship to this presidency now what would the initial reactions to trump's comments there. well. initially jaw dropping and an expression of disbelief and many many many people. faces an x. is significantly when it comes to the experts doctors because i mean this is just common sense who would suggest to ingest or or inject disinfectant or cleaning materials like lysol or clorox or any other of many many

brands that can't be bad and you know the president said on thursday well how about we're testing this or doing a test about this well you don't need to do any tests about this anymore because those tests are not necessary because they is a unified opinion in the expert world and with doctors and epidemiologists this infected inside your body is a big no no it's different whether the world is laughing or screaming or not doesn't seem to matter to the president but he's popularity is all important in an election year do the polls show any movement after a month of daily briefings which have put increased focus on his performance as president very good point yes so the president uses as you know as our viewers know as everybody knows me in the mean time those daily test for us white tells test for suppressors as a platform to reach his clientele his platform his voters his supporters however

his approval ratings for how he handles the coronavirus crisis and what he says on those presses was more like a roller coaster at the moment it's actually on the lower and so is approval rating doesn't look good but he needs to have better approval ratings and he needs to reach his base if he wants to have a good chance to be reelected in november as president of the united states stiffens events in washington thank you so much. and earlier we spoke to muhammad nia to get a medical perspective on donald trump suggestion of injecting disinfectant to clean the body of corona box well it does add as dangerous as it soames really i think the important thing for the general public is to understand that the virus when it is outside the body is different than what is inside the body oh side the body you can cheat by the way you wanted it disinfectant u.v. light it whatsoever where once white is entered into the body it doesn't respect

all of these detergent because it is hiding weight in an individual cells one of the 2 or 3 trillion cells in our bodies so disinfectant wouldn't reach near the what disinfected it would do it does all remember a and all the sell off all their body and it will turn out to be extremely toxic and probably one would survive in the girl no wires but wouldn't survive by injecting disinfectant and that was mohamed money from lancaster university that now is a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world officials in the democratic republic of congo say at least 17 people have been killed in an attack at the room the national park the park which is known for its mountain gorillas has frequently threatened by militias and poachers the group has yet claimed responsibility. russian emergency services wildfires in at least 3 regions of siberia no casualties have been reported but the
