3:07 am
has tried laying the blame at the door of china he accuses beijing of failing to share information caleb open takes a closer look. the coronavirus pandemic is not just claiming the lives it's also threatening to take down donald trump's number one boast a strong u.s. economy at this point with the stock market going wild donald trump has decided to blame china if we had known about this a number of months earlier it could have been contained to that one area in china where it started and certainly the world is paying a big price for what they did in the world as being a very big price for not for not letting them come out everybody knows that trump has decided to even give the virus a new name i would like to begin by announcing some important developments in a war against the chinese virus the chinese virus comes from china that's why this kind of language has of course infuriated beijing the country's
3:08 am
foreign minister put out a strong message for those playing the blame game. facing the pandemic nations should cooperate to bustle a corner virus insulting others opossum responsibility at this moment is not helpful to the epidemic control of any individual nation or the joint efforts of the international communities to curb the spread of the virus. now it's not just china disapproving of trump on this one the world health organization has asked donald trump to cut it out viruses no new borders and they don't care about your ethnicity the color of your skin or how much money you have in the bank so it's really important would be careful in the language we use less did lead to the profiling of individuals associated with the virus now for all those looking to blame china it's worth looking into their vast global efforts to stem the pandemic donating test kits to cambodia and planeloads of masks and ventilators to france and italy along with medical teams they've pledged to help the philippines spain
3:09 am
and other countries chinese doctors are on their way to iraq and iran president xi called today health silk road pledging to get assistance where it's needed planetwide look at america's response overseas take a look at iraq iran is one of the countries that is worst hit with its health services dangerously overloaded officials are saying that millions could die but yet iran is being hit with war u.s. sanctions donald trump is maliciously tightening the u.s. illegal sanctions with the aim of draining iran's resources needed in the fight against 19 while our citizens are dying from it the world can no longer be silent as u.s. economic terrorism is supplanted by its medical terrorism in a let's account opponents hassan rouhani informs her efforts to fight the covert 1000 pandemic in iran have been seriously hampered by u.s. sanctions in them to cease observing them it is immoral to that's a bully kill innocents cuba and venezuela are both in the early stages of an
3:10 am
outbreak now both countries are going to face huge hurdles of crippling us restrictions if the us government is going to assist other countries let's alone provide some kind of leadership role during this global crisis the 1st thing it should do is cause new home economic sanctions as the u.s. is applying against iran cuba venezuela and other. countries cause immense to state the obvious the virus does not discriminate we're all in this together so why would anyone want to inflame international tensions or inflict economic damage to nations at a time like this trump as is is a nationalist he is trying he's always trying to drum up hostility to foreign countries especially china these days he's makes a point of saying the war and virus or the china chinese virus. the cold night he's definitely trying to use this to draw international stories
3:11 am
and i know it was slow in the beginning and that china a few weeks to get its act together toward emphasize that trump is no one is a no position to be criticizing china because the u.s. 'd response so far has been chaotic haphazard there are no masks there aren't enough. i think that one sided blame game is not only ridiculous but the worst thing possible in the current atmosphere. let's turn now to the u.k. where the number of those infected by cove in 1000 has surpassed 3000 with the death toll approaching 150 almost british prime minister boris johnson's reassured the public that the u.k. can turn the tide on the virus within 12 weeks the british government asked the public to do a range of things among them stopping unnecessary travel working from home if
3:12 am
possible and avoiding pubs but some are refusing to comply with the pub ban including none other than the prime minister's father our correspondent shadi ed was daschle went to investigate whether stanley johnson is the only brit refusing to give up his social drinking. most brits are treating coronavirus very seriously heating advice to stay at home avoid social gatherings and avoid. completely there when the prime minister advised against going to pubs the sound that was fine we need people to start working from home where they possibly can and you should avoid pubs clubs theaters and other such social. well london's liquor lovers are waking up to a new hangover free reality but for others if you need a drink you need a drink especially if you played a part in creating the man behind this very strange change of sobering rules when you go to the pubs are not. the problem you think what you think is sun's going to
3:13 am
say let's just told you not who he said before going to pubs but if i had to go to a pub i'd go to a bar so the p.m.'s does go to plan for that one but in saying use a bring up the storm online some are questioning why the prime minister's very own father is questioning his own coronavirus meshes is he wrong whereas others are saying well actually the situation has been blown up i mean larger than proportion . what creates a need for want to go to the park after consulting with my father stanley johnson we are updating our coronavirus advice from now on anyone who developed symptoms must head straight for the pub can we stop bringing stanley johnson on to the t.v. he's not an elected official and he's a danger in the current climate. well we tried all day to find a single punter in london but so know them well tonight might be a bit more fruitful at least not at this prop because there's no one here and check
3:14 am
out this right in the heart of london it's wine time booze o'clock and not single booze or insight and the story is no different in this pop either not exactly having a whale of a time with all of my friends hardly the world's greatest pub crawl but with a general u.k. lockdown looming it seems like pubs like this will be calling those stores anyway though it does seem that started johnson is the last man standing. the democratic primary race is now down to just the 2 candidates bernie sanders and joe biden months after hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard dropped out throwing her support behind the former vice president who's emerged as the clear front runner now after tuesday's election it's clear that democratic primary voters have chosen vice president joe biden to be the person who will take on president trump in the general election so today i am suspending my presidential campaign and offering my full support to vice president joe biden in his quest to bring our country together
3:15 am
and although i may not agree with the vice president on every issue i know that he has a good heart and he's motivated by his love for our country and the american people . well shortly after that announcement joe biden thanked god for her support the congresswoman was thrust into the spotlight last year when hillary clinton accused her of being a russian asset rejected the allegations and sued the former secretary of state a 38 year old politician entered the race for the democrat ticket in february last year and was the last woman standing we heard from professor of latin american studies danny sure he says the primaries are being weighed down by a climate of fear. that he will have to work the most thoroughly of state in are afraid to go out in it well if they have children you know the old and 'd the. free so clearly being so primary is in crisis in a sense tells the root of
3:16 am
a woman of color who represents a columnist people hawaii thing a lot of people hopes that she would support bernie sanders who is of course the most critical in so imperial as candidate so to see her fall in line with joe biden in command joe biden was clearly an establishment candidate who represents a continuation of u.s. foreign policy was clearly very disappointing and this is bigger than just a primary this is a movement for universal health care for us foreign policy it is diametrically opposed to we're trying to build biding in it but i'm in the really close represent so this move is going to continue to fight a notch is in the electoral reading arena but more importantly historically in the streets of the u.s. . ok thanks for staying with us here on our tail but back with more news after this short break.
3:17 am

3:18 am
and. welcome back the u.k. government has unveiled a new draft legislation that protects its military personnel and veterans from prosecution for alleged historical offenses in conflicts overseas. for decades the men and women of our armed forces have been faced with the prospect of repeated investigations by inquest and police despite the vast majority having acted in accordance with the rule of law and often at great personal risk that is why the government will today legislate to protect our veterans against repeated re investigations where there is no new and compelling evidence against them and to envy x a shoes claims against our armed forces under new law would be a 5 year limit from the date of an incident to bringing prosecution unless there is
3:19 am
compelling new evidence and a 6 year limit for any civil case involving personally injury or death beyond that only exceptional circumstances can force new investigations according to the british ministry of defense operations in iraq resulted in nearly 1000 compensation claims against personnel for unlawful detention personal injury and even death approximately 1400 judicial review claims were seeking investigations and compensation for a variety of alleged human rights violations human rights groups of express their anger saying the legislation would place the military above the law and undermine existing international conventions these campaigner and former soldier kin says that the bill is wrong. we should not arbitrarily place a statute of limitations on when people can see some justice in the event that their loved ones were murdered and or tortured and or
3:20 am
detained for years and we are constantly learning more and more about how we think about the actions of our military in other countries and during different times and different trombones frivolous lawsuits are one thing but to put a moratorium on prosecution arbitrary to me does not seem to be the best a lot of the experiences that earns had it went on the ground in iraq and afghanistan incredibly incredibly incredibly hunting incredibly troubling and they never should have been there to begin with. so if isolation doesn't stop thousands of brazilians from protesting together their own great president both sonora and his 100 of the corona virus outbreak. thank. you thank you thank you

3:23 am
of small displacement camps there is no hospitals we can distance ourselves we can wash our hands and we have a health system to go to they have nothing of that that's where we need to have attention focused at the moment in my view. turning back now to how russia is fighting the spread of corona virus and among the new measures being rolled out is moving education online where if a national visited one of russia's top universities to see how that's progressing. they hire a school of economics known as a to see their versity in central moscow thursday noon it should be bussed in with hundreds of students including international ones with exams just weeks away but not anymore deserted it like many russian universities colleges and schools has now moved online in response to the coronavirus fret. it's
