the u.s. . from china.

with bags of gold. in front of. us president. out of the. funding. the director general of the. improvements based on his criticisms within 30 days he accuses the u.n. agency of being too close to china beijing and. it accuses him of shirking of responsibilities to support a global. final decision and call it the fun of the w. even before trump issued his in century letter to the world health organization it

was clear he was about to attack. 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 they're a puppet of china those comments at a white house event were quickly followed by a trump tweet he links to a letter accusing the w.h.o. of making a series of missteps over its response to the pandemic in it he warns that if the world health organization does not commit to major substantial improvements within the next 30 days i will make my temporary freeze of united states funding to the w.h.o. permanent and reconsider our membership in the organization trumps ultimatum came

just a few hours after the w.h.o. announced an independent review i will initiate an independent evaluation of the earliest appropriate a moment to review experience gain and lessons learned and to make recommendations to improve national and global fundamental preparedness and response but this is about more than just the world health organization donald trump who has been criticized for his own handling of the pandemic publicly claims china for trying to cover up the outbreak china's foreign ministry has already hit back accusing trump of trying to mislead the public in order to smear china. france and germany have announced a half a trillion euros to help your 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 4 weeks germany had resisted the idea of collective e.u. debt to absorb depend makes economic shock. it's wishful thinking to hope europe's economies could bounce back as easily as these provisions 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 face behind them. in a joint news conference with the french president chancellor angela merkel stressed the coronavirus pandemic is endangering european unity. more steps why the fund has to help ensure that all countries in the euro can react appropriately but . this requires an extraordinary one off effort which france and germany are ready to undertake but i think that 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. to offset the drastic decline in production transport and tourism across europe this development fund will get an injection of 500000000000 euro e.u. 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 m.d.c. rizzo's this will of course if this purpose invest in digitally they sin and the green deal to cope with the climate catastrophe in history and spy and new dynamic for the future and in the future of health we will aim for cooperation to apply all the financial from the cry for to get them but i can't 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 from on the story let's turn to our correspondent in brussels girl mater's garrick how much of a shift in position is this in particular for johnson i'm going to michael. beer if you listen to german chancellor angela merkel in the recent weeks closely she mentioned a number of times that germany is ready to provide more financial aid to european partners now mutual debt clearly was not on the cards that the ra is age old and germany has been mainly against it but look the idea of this recovery fund using the e.u. budget as a backdoor if you want to introduce corona bonds light is not entirely new the head of the european commission is about fondling has inherited a couple of weeks ago saying that it could be a marshall plan and i haven't heard of the german chancellor completely rule out that idea in fact she even mentioned

a treaty change in the future if that's what it takes to bring europe back on track after the corona crisis and yesterday she reiterated that position saying that europe needs fundamental change of the european commission has welcomed this initiative but half a trillion euros of joint each year borrowing that's a potentially sticky issue i mean what could that mean for the plans viability. well to to put the plan into reality of course you will need a unanimous decision by e.u. leaders so you need all $27.00 on board and so far the frugal for a countries in the north of europe including the netherlands all strive already said their position remains unchanged they are against corona bonds a a one way or the other there against mutual iced debt which in fact if you look at the e.u. treaties it's not legal in any case and so their position hasn't changed whereas

spain and italy really welcomed the idea and so will it will have to see how how they will work this out the important message here today is that this is a top a diplomatic push by 2 of the strongest you nations. what are the next steps. well finance ministers are meeting today and they have announced the german finance minister has already said they will discuss these topics today this will be key of course regards to the legal aspects it will take some creativity from legal experts to find a solution how to put this into reality if you leaders went to agree the main message from today's meeting but also from the 2 germans and the french finance ministers the announcements today is that the power engine if you want the twin engine in europe france and germany are back on track and the french finance minister called this an historical step of the mutual proposal government isn't

brussels thank you very much for that. and back in the u.s. while wrapping up a news conference at the white house on monday president donald trump surprised reporters by announcing that he's taking the end to malaria drugs drug seeker queen to protect himself against the coronavirus trump has repeatedly talked of the drug as a frequent for covert 19 even though his own government experts say it's not suitable and fighting the virus for fighting the virus i'm sorry and despite warnings from medical experts about potentially dangerous side effects here's what trump had to say 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. take it for about a week for about a week and a half every day at some point every day i take a pill every day. at some point i'll set 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. let's get more on that from science departments and figure bonnie joins me now on the line. the u.s. president has been promoting the use of a drug securing queen for quite some time now just remind us why what is this drug and why does the president think it's a good treatment for over 19. well it's important to note that sir trump is not alone in this also brazil's president also naro has voiced support for the drug despite opposition within their own ranks their cases are being strengthened at the moment by lab studies that came out in trance in china and that study is and always the same as testing a drug in a living human host clinical trials you know then of course the f.d.a. at the end of april came out and approved the emergency use of hydroxy chloroquine in the treatment of coded 19 it's been used for decades as an anti malarial drug also in auto immune conditions likely to lead off stright as you might even find

a dentist using a variant of hydroxy chloroquine so you know as a mouthwash for patients before they actually get in there but that's the lower the bacterial load of bacteria is not the same as a virus but ultimately there's no firm evidence at the moment that says either way whether it will work in the case of coded 19 with whether that's to stop infections lashley to treat patients so it's the there's not the evidence there at the moment to really say either way and it's also tom's own government to expose that of one that is unproven against gov vidas and medical professionals say it can have been a side effects so what do people need to nor about the risks of taking this medication. well there's been studies that have been studies pre-print studies ascii said non-pay review seen a lot of that in recent times but one most recent one out of the us said it's just anecdotal limited of the facial evidence at the moment so basically the side of thinks if you've got problems with your eyes don't take it if you're pregnant if

your kidney liver problems don't take it either and just ask specific. advice from a doctor if you are thinking about taking this but ultimately wait for the evidence is the is the is the evidence because the is the the line here because there are risks involved with taking this drug even though it's been proven that decades and decades to help in other areas just not in the case of the novel coronavirus so forget about it from the double science thanks very much let's have a look now at some other stories making news around the world germany's high court has ruled that surveillance of online communications outside the country violates the constitution and it's got into you have the right to privacy and freedom of the press the challenge was brought by 6 foreign journalists and the advocacy group reporters without borders. the prime minister of lesotho has resigned after facing months of accusations that he will do more than the killing of his ex-wife thomas to bonnie announced his retirement on national t.v.

the guests in from braman were back level just 2 minutes later when leo pitts in courts corner was turned home by a crafty tearful gabriel selassie back but just 3 minutes after that laver couzens lead had been restored yet another free header for one decade car i have a whose 2 goals gave his side an advantage that they carried into half time. they drew further in front on the hour mark when mitchell visor profited from some serious confusion in the brain and back line to make it 3 want. and in the 78th minute carrying demi by was able to put the result beyond doubt after a small through ball from carrying better robbie and an early dive from keeper pavlik. both teams pick up where they left off before the break a dream restart for later couzin and a nightmare walk for impact would break. this is did have
