this is g.w. news live from berlin and u.s. president donald trump issues and ultimatum to the w.h.o. he threatens to cut funding for the organization if he doesn't see improvements within 30 days specifically he accuses the global health body of favor to some toward china what does this mean for global efforts to combat the coronavirus also coming up germany and france propose a rescue fund up to half

a trillion euros for europe's battered economies the deal comes after weeks of resistance from debt shy germany and the bone of virus infections surge in brazil to the 3rd highest in the world president had posted i don't into locked in a political battle with regional leaders over how to respond to the crisis plus it's time to developing an app to improve contact tracing in south africa as it races to contain the virus. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump has threatened to cut funding to the world health organization permanently unless it implements what he calls substantial improvements over the next 30 days in a letter to the director general of the w.h.o. trump says the. organization gives terrible advice for fighting the coronavirus and

accuses it of being too close to china the us president has also said that he is currently taking the empty malaria drugs i've talked to chloroquine now trump has repeatedly touted the drug as a treatment for covert 19 despite warnings from medical experts about its potentially dangerous side effects but i get a lot of tremendously positive on the hydroxy and i say hey you know the expression i've used what do you have to lose ok what do you have to lose that if i have to take it for about a week and for about a week and a half every day at some point every day i take a pill every day. at some point up what i'd like to do is i'd like to have the cure and or the vaccine and that will happen i think 1st and ask more now we're joined by d.w. correspondent stefan simons who is in washington stuff and a lot to unpack there but let's start 1st with the president's letter to the head of the w.h.o.

why how significant is this. is significant in this the 2nd chance against against w.h.o. and against china let's not forget that is what is seemingly behind this action the president had about a month ago already blamed the w a h o of being basically the right hand of china in masking what the truth is in his mind and that is that the virus comes fair and square from china and that china fails to inform the united states and other countries early enough about the significance and the danger of the virus now this is the 2nd one the 2nd shot so to speak against w h o that the double digits or just the bidding for china and that comes just days after china said they are more than happy to fund the w.h.o. investigation as also more research into where the virus not only comes from but how dangerous it is while everybody knows the dangers of this it killed by now

and 90000 plus americans and countless other people around the world for the president this is also very very important politically speaking because it caters to his clear and tell it caters to his followers they blame china also as being the enemy who brought so to speak the virus to america. and the president is using this political easter teacher glee to his advantage and meantime we have the search for a treatment a search for a vaccine and at the white house president trump surprised reporters as he was wrapping up a meeting to announce that he's taking hydroxy chloroquine that's of course the b n t malaria drug that he's been touting to ward off corona virus what happened there. yeah good question what happened this is kind of a little bit doesn't surprise everybody. as you said he's promoting hundreds are

squaring for the last 2 months something people should really use and you remember this came before just shortly before he then also suggested people should maybe drink some disinfectant to clean their lungs and to be preventing any infection from from the coronavirus and repeat drinking this but you're right. still the f.d.a. and government agency does not recommend anybody using hydro writes a clearing. in a not controlled dr with doctors and a clinical environment of the president he also sees and finds that he is that those rules are recommendations do not apply to him and we know that u.s. health officials have expressed skepticism about clarke and as a treatment stephens joining us from washington with the view from there thank you

. and let's have a look now at the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic unemployment test skyrocketed since the pandemic began new figures from the u.k. show jobless claims there jumped to more than $2000000.00 in april that's the highest level since 1906 a new study warns that delirium and confusion could be common among seriously ill cope with 19 patients doctors are advising to watch for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder after people recover and france is reporting to defend us from the virus but also an uptick in the confirmed cases people are urged to continue social distancing and other restrictions are east. france and germany have announced a half a trillion euro plan to help europe weather the worst crisis in decades the proposal calls for a rescue fund to boost the sectors of the economy hit hardest by coronavirus lockdowns it's an about face for german chancellor angela merkel for weeks germany has resisted the idea of collective e.u.

debt to absorb the pen demick 2nd amik shock it's wishful thinking to hope europe's economies could bounce back as easily as these parisian after months under lockdown even before the e.u. commission presents its aid package berlin and paris are rushing through a joint initiative for economic recovery in a bid to put this crippling things behind them. in a joint news conference with the french president chancellor angela merkel stressed the coronavirus pandemic is in danger in european unity. most that's right a fund has to help ensure that all countries in europe can react appropriately but . this requires an extraordinary one off effort which france and germany are ready to undertake provided it if this is the result of bilateral work in cooperation with our partners i'm convinced that this plan provides the groundwork to revive our lives our economies and our societies so. to offset

the drastic decline in production transport and tourism across europe this development fund will get an injection of 500000000000 euros either budget funds will be made available to the hardest hit regions and sectors. the overall plan is designed to strengthen the e.u.'s future viability of the in these resources will of course surface purpose if you will invest in digitalisation and the green deal to cope with the climate catastrophe this will inspire a new dynamic for the future i am in the field of health we will aim for cooperation to apply all we flew on from the crisis to get them by their design tight that sounds like support for the e.u. commission whose economic recovery plan is being drafted the commission's president is expected to present it next week and earlier i spoke with political correspondent hans brunt of asked him how big a step this is for germany. it's germany has been resisting for weeks plans to

issue bonds by the rio pier and union and other ways to go into addict and so that germany ends up getting the day after other countries in the european union that's something the german government and conservative politicians in germany have been refusing to do for months and years in effect now what's happening is that there's a bit of a detour via the e.u. budget these 500000000000 euros that are being proposed will be come part of the e.u. budget and within that budget in the end germany does become responsible for the dates of other countries so in effect for i'm going to mecca government it's been the complete about to and let's also get the view now from brussels that we can turn to our correspondent down to record who is standing by back to the european commission has welcomed this initiative but it involves joint e.u. borrowing as we've heard it's been a sticky issue up to now look at need for the viability of this plan.

the e.u. the e.u. institutions of course but come this both move by the german chancellor because it means that the deadlock in europe can be overcome now but there's some hope that it's still in the wave because the provisions in the treaty see force see that the e.u. is not allowed to take out loans and is not allowed to borrow money and just hand them out to the countries there has been some cases in the past but a very small scale but now this is a new development and you need some very talented lawyer as in the legal services c n brussels to come up with a sound legal basis and for sure this will be challenged in european courts and also in german courts but the chancellor and also the french president is saying these are extraordinary circumstances we have to come up with something and italy and spain are already rather coming this step because this hints to the coronal

bones these are corona bones like now the countries giving away the money but they have to pay back the money 20 in over 20 years and all member states really ground for this money and this is something completely new ok so still a lot more work to be done when to can when it comes to building consensus for those initiatives of the plan also giving quite a bit more power to the european commission is that another reason why this is raising some red flags around you capitals. this 500000000000 euros shall be channeled through the european budget that they give the commission control over the hand out of this money and the commission can also control how this money is used some countries like italy and spain wanted to lose a hand on the money but now the commission has a grip on it but on the other hand the frugal for like austria finland and the null

and the netherlands where the richest still opposing this move they say this money cannot be given away as a grand we only want loans we don't want to borrow to a fellow member states this problem is not resolved and you somebody has to be called to overcome this and to make a compromise on this bantering with you from brussels thank you. all for still has overtaken britain with the highest number of coronavirus cases in the world more than a quarter of a 1000000 brazilians have been infected and nearly 17000 have died the government is calling in more than 150 doctors from cuba to help cope with the surge. brazil's hospitals are running dangerously close to capacity rio de janeiro's famous maracana football stadium now serving as a makeshift over spill facility for covert 19 patients. shantytowns

are among the hot spots residents from one of the biggest in the city of san paolo marched to protest against their plight with no space for surgical distancing and lacking medical care there especially at risk. president jaya balsa narrow his fiercely criticized lockdowns imposed by brazil's regional state governors because of the impact on the economy but they insist there is no alternative. to beat the economic crisis we have to beat the coronavirus the enemy of the economy is not quarantine it is the pandemic and that is why we have to provide all the necessary support for science for medicine for health. many brazilians are angry they say they're the ones suffering because the authorities acted too slowly pleasant that brazil is in

a bad state and is behind in its response down should have been done a long time back in getting. people into work people need to eat what they're seeing the government playing politics so nobody is taking it seriously despite the seriousness of the problem. the seriousness of. the government says the worst of the crisis should be over by july and the economy will be able to pick up from august. not everyone shares that confidence. and the coronavirus pandemic is likely to hit india's economy hard goldman sachs' expects that the indian economy will shrink by as much as 45 percent in the current quarter india has just extended the lockdown because of corona and although there has been some loosening for many it's a challenge just to survive. traffic in the streets of the indian capital new delhi

is only increase again india has just extended the coronavirus lockdown until the end of may but it's relax the number of restrictions for example small shops will be allowed to open again and restaurants can do takeaway business many merchants are celebrating the easing of india's lockdown but millions are still teetering on the brink of economic ruin. you know what was going to take i think it's difficult for us we have to pay rent for 3 months we have to pay our workers it's a huge problem we can't do anything without the government helping us it's not like customers will start turning up the moment we open our doors. but in reality my business is down to just about 35 percent of what it was i'm not getting any cigarettes applies to sell and even those i am getting are so expensive that if i sell them customers want to pick a fight with me or. the extended lockdown for

1300000000 people comes as the number of infections continues to rise rapidly officially 91000 people have covered 192800 have died as a result but not enough tests are being carried out the number of n reported cases is likely to be much higher the measures against the spread of the corona virus mainly affect the poorest of the population day laborers and migrant workers but there is the risk of further outbreaks says those workers too in their backs on major cities such as new delhi or mumbai and try to get to their home provinces now rising infection figures being reported in those provincial regions. and while we can speak now to journalists or of the attendant who is joining us from delhi with the indian economy shrinking what does all of this mean for the country's most vulnerable. so you know the country's most volatile of.

existence and with the lock down we've sort of seen the people or so entirely left out of whatever measures the government took to go to you know the virus a case initially since then the government has announced a series of least measure those like additional full greens that will be provided to migrant leave for instance for the next month or a very basic minimum of cash deposit in bank accounts but we're only speaking about a population that has no savings nor dissolves and do require or work on a daily basis just for survival so we're really not feel indication on when the government plans on opening the economy out to keep their futures i don't see how simply molested a lot. and we also know that the future for many small businesses is also at stake some of the restrictions have been ease for example small shops can open again what

is the situation for a small entrepreneurs in the country. last week the government announced a stimulus package of 266000000000 dollars to help the economy there by a little bit but since you know the details of this package have really come about economists and business owners are quite happy the crux is that the government is trying to stimulate create liquidity for supply without trying to inject money into creating demand it's something that you saw in your story as well so what happens is that at one level small businesses have had issues huge supply chains breaking with libor going missing just because of the lockdown but even if they are allowed to open up now if there's no increase in demand if the government is not going to help people who got all the income losses that their part in the last leaks with that increase in demand the economy really can't get back on its feet and it's the

same for small business owners as well they need demand to really be able to get their business loans they want to thank you very much journalist sort of a tandem joining us from delhi we appreciate it. fell's of new cars in the european union collapsed by more than 76 percent in april year over year the european automobile manufacturers association blames the on precedential drop on coronavirus lockdowns around $270000.00 new cars were registered last month compared to more than a 1000000 in april of 2019. you're watching news still to come on the program the bundesliga had one day left after its return to action with the stands empty of labor whose input on a real show for the cameras at struggling braman stay tuned for more. but 1st a quick look at some other stories making news around the world in the chilean
