polity found the w even before trump had issued his incendiary letter to the world health organization it was clear he was about to attack. but 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 would make 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 moment to review experience gained and lessons learned and to make recommendations to improve national and global fundament 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 blames 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. for more i'm joined by the form australian prime minister kevin rudd has got

a view of president of the asia society policy institute and joins us from sydney mr rudd welcome donald trump says the tories caught a puppet of china do you agree. well the bottom line is the world health organization seeks to discharge its mandate under the arrangements set in place back in one in 48 in the way and it does that is through the international health regulations how there is and that has applied to the current crisis concerning covert 19 frankly is still subject to open question inquiry and investigation i think for the president out of strays to simply issue a blanket smear that the w.h.o. is a puppet of one country or another frankly doesn't do justice to what we need to establish and i think the bottom line is president trump seems to be very quick to criticize

any other institution in the world including that of robin apply that critique to the performance of his own administration in the united states itself which at a national government level i think most of us would agree is simply being chaotic so what you're saying is that donald trump is a play politics with an eye on the upcoming election. look number one is the world health organization does have questions to answer that. china has questions to answer the origin of the virus the nature of transmission within china the notification system between the chinese provincial authorities and the national authorities in beijing and the notification timetable in terms of what apply between beijing in geneva or in the w.h.o. and what the w.h.o. then did about it these are legitimate questions for which we need answers however to unilaterally conclude as president trump has concluded that all problems to do

with the current code 19 tend to make can be slated back to the world health organization frankly just flies in the face of reality i think president trump is seeking in part to deflect attention from the performance of his own administration which even on the part of certain republicans is being judged to be chaotic. the president has also threatened to bomb in a coupon funding from the north shore now you have written an article in the economist when the initial threats have been made for the suspension of u.s. funding what do you say now to what donald trump. well i think the present a united states needs to understand that the united nations system including the world health organization is america's child it was created in the aftermath of the 2nd world war and it came into being the case that

a great show in one in 48 and what america has done for 3 quarters of a century is to support and to fund and to provide in many cases policy direction all these instruments of multilateral governance across the world now for the united states to simply stand back and say we're going to withdraw from the world health organization was drool from the world trade organization withdraw from the human rights council in geneva because his administration can't get instrumentalities the u.n. to simply support comprehensively every aspect the of the u.s. policy is just irresponsible in the case of the will health organization when it comes to poor countries around the world they are critically dependent on the. instruments of the u.n. system to provide them with the infrastructure they need to deal with this crisis on the ground cutting funding as he now threatens undermines the ability of

many poor countries to deal with a crisis kevin rudd president of the asia society policy institute and former australian prime minister well wrapping up a news conference at the white house on monday president trump surprised reporters by announcing that he's taking the anti malaria drug drug seeker a queen to protect himself against the coronavirus repeat of your top of the drug as a treatment for over 20 even though his own government experts say it's not suitable for fighting the virus and despite warnings from medical experts about potentially dangerous side effects. from part to south. 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 list. 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 a bunny joins me now on the line. the u.s. president has been promoting the use of drugs security 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 1000. well it's important to note that so 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 coated 19 is being used for decades as an anti malarial drug

also in auto immune conditions like we were told 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 sun evidence at the moment that says either way whether it will work in the case of coded 19 with that or 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 or government experts that have won that it is unproven against governor vidas and medical professionals say it can have dangerous side effects so what do people need to nor about the risks of taking this medication. well i think studies that have been studies pre-print studies as we said non-pay are of you've seen a lot of that in recent times one most recent one out of the us he said it's just anecdotal limited observational evidence at the moment so basically the side of

thanks if you've got problems in your eyes don't take it if you're pregnant if you're 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 where 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 forget about it from good of the science thanks very much in europe france and germany have announced a trend in your plan to help the e.u. whether the west crisis in decades the proposed gold for the rescue fund to boost the sectors of the economy hit hardest by coronavirus lockdowns it's an about face for german chancellor and get a makeover for weeks germany had resisted the idea of collective e.u. debt to absolve the pandemics economic shock. it's wishful thinking to help

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 in danger in european unity. most that is 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 provided 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 in these resources will of course if this purpose reinvest in digital is a sin 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 be flown 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 for more on the story let's turn to our correspondent in brussels girl mater's how much of a shift in position is this in particular for chancellor angela merkel.

bere 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 i debt clearly was not on the cards the 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 back door if you want to introduce carone up on flight is not entirely new the head of the european commission was about funded line has aired it 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 and the european commission has welcomed this

initiative but half a trillion euros of joint e.q. borrowing that's a potentially sticky issue i mean what could that mean for the band's viability well to to put the plan into reality of course you will detail 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 your leaders went to agree the main message from today's meeting but also from the 2 german 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 is in brussels thank you very much for that. finding people who have contracted covert 19 before they can spread the disease and tracing their contacts has become a priority for governments across the world scientists in south africa are developing and that helps track. if the it could help make up for the shortfall

in testing capacity that. city farm market in cape town for the pandemic the farmers markets through 7000 visitors a day now just 700 arrived and they are only allowed to buy essential on the street procedures. this is what i'm doing today everybody comes to the market. i explain to them the reason i'm doing it which is for creating in the case of. disease the shoppers appear happy to cooperate and profitable i understand. and it's great that we can get to support local pride here. and to take care. of the people. the idea is that if there is

a case of coronavirus at the market authorities can one of those who may be affected by collecting people's names and contact details is an easy way to make contact tracing possible it is obviously not the most effective way and researchers at the university of cape town argue would make things easier and more effective. this. has overseen the development of the ep kovi id every participant can register online and will then receive a q.r. codes this can be safe to one smartphone or simply printed out as fewer than half of all south africans own a smartphone can now use the coby id app if i'm a verifier so that say i'm a taxi operate our i'm a security guard i want to scan use s q r s they come in so you can. scan. it shows my name it should look like a picture eventually it shows that i haven't been so off test that there is no

information about where that i south africa from covert what has happened in the bank and it isn't the app has sent to your location to the wallet of the user and it simply has found the address of that user by looking at the q.r. code the data is not stored centrally to address privacy concerns the data is only stored on user's phones if someone tests positive he or she can agree to sharing the anonymous data with the public health authorities and to one of the users who wear the same location. coordinates a team of 150 volunteers who develop the kovi id app today they're presenting their project in a vip see me now to political decision makers from several african countries much about the research shows that in order for content tracing to work we can we need to identify 60 percent of the patients as soon as they have symptoms and we need to find 50 percent of them contacts basically instantaneously if you take even 4

$56.00 days to figure out all the contacts that somebody was positive had and to to follow up with them you will be too slow to effect it's nice curve the spread of the virus but the biggest problem is the insufficient testing capacity in south africa has already performed more than 350000. 19 to buy father most of any african country but now libertarians are overwhelmed and often need more than 5 days to get a result something that no effort can fix. let's get more on this professor karim is at the center of the response to the pandemic and he's also the chief advisor to the health minister welcome professor karim at the start of the president also said that the walk on an automated contactors in solution bit is south africa's distinct passages sufficient enough to support any such solution.

yes it's a really good afternoon so the time to go has a very substantial p.c. artistic capacity that is the polymerase chain reaction technology platform that's used to test for the science colby to virus and we hand it to passively because hiv testing the vinyl long test uses exactly the same platform so there is no issue with regards to capacity what is the problem is the supply chain in order to ensure that the companies that we buy kids from can deliver it it can deliver it in time and because africa's number of tests being performed each day has steadily been rising women doubling on most every week for the past 3 or 4 weeks with the rapidly used up the available capacity in the available number of tests and now we have to

wait for new kits to be delivered and we have one specific problem and that is with extraction kits in order to do that test which we have the testing kits but we don't have the extraction kits in order to do the test you talk about are increasing testing capacity and that is going up by the day but are put to some figures of africa. some estimates are doing some 1000 tests per 1000000 residents and a smaller country for example in perth who is doing some $20000.00 tests a 1000000 a population is that sufficient are you actually getting the true picture of korver by dean in south africa. so when you look at the number of tests the form of population if you look at it in isolation it's not totally informative you also have to look at how many tests are you doing to get one positive so if you look at the u.k. heat they do roughly about to be test to get one positive if you look at the u.s.

they do about one they don't want 5 tests to 6 tests to get one positive in south africa we do about $38.00 tests to get one positive so it's not a matter of simply doing more testing use it this testing and other negative people so what we have to do is we have to identify our highest priorities and right now our focus is on the patients in the hospital how do you foresee the outbreak playing out in south africa and south africa the moment has the highest number of cases in africa but what about the continent i mean there have been predictions that some hundreds of thousands of people could die. so then we've always understood that we will see quite a substantial epidemic the exact size and nature of that is difficult to assess because we're not sure what the total impact of the lockdown in our various other

measures like social distancing and hand washing would have i think at present we are now seeing the country going in different different parts of the country at different stages of the epidemic so if you look at the western cape that is in the greater cape town region right here now experiencing a rapid growth in new cases but in the rest of the country ok says remain at a pretty low level or live there for the time being but thank you very much for joining us professor salim of them karim epidemiologist and head of south africa's government and command council thank you. some sports news now and the quiet stands and stunted goal celebrations seen in bundesliga matches in recent days have been strange and unfamiliar but there's nothing new about the goal scoring talent of live accused young star. he netted to return direction on monday night with a full on victory at struggling very. the closing act of the
