wednesday april the 15th you're watching art international in our headlines today donald trump cuts u.s. funding to the world health organization pick using it of mismanaging the pandemic and conspiring with china as a congressional probe into the crisis is said to include the u.n. probably should respond. as new york continues to be ravaged in the united states worst outbreak new york times no turning its fire against russia blame the country for spreading the disease. pleading for help and now they're being asked to provide it themselves and germany appeals for medical professionals among its huge migrant population because of a lack of health care workers. morning

welcome to the program has just turned 11 i am here in moscow this wednesday on kevin owen with his 30 minute world news roundup for you and 1st to start with the numbers that make for grim reading this wednesday sad to say we've reached another bleak benchmark more than 2000000 infections have now been registered globally and over 126000 people have died in terms of people who've recovered that's no heading towards the half 1000000 mark. in this morning's developments big spot developing the president trump has to suspend u.s. funding to the world health organization he accuses the u.n. agency of mishandling the coronavirus pandemic and supporting what he calls china's this information trump also accuses the w.h.o.

of mistakes which led to many deaths he said the united states accounts for more than a 5th of the show's budget i'm instructing my administration to halt funding of the world health organization while a review is conducted to assess the world. health organization's role in severely mismanaging in covering up the spread of the corona virus us president donald trump has announced that he is cutting u.s. funding to the world health organization accusing the organization of conspiring with the government of china to suppress important information related to the corona virus and demick in the middle of january it parroted in publicly endorse the idea that there was not human to human transmission happening despite reports and clear evidence to the contrary that delays the w.h.o. experience. into playing

a public health emergency costs valuable time this decision and previous statements by president trump regarding china and the world health organization has been widely criticized around the world many have argued that the united states is essentially politicizing the world health organization w.h.o. the organization that does so much a vital and important humanitarian work at a very moment when their work is really needed and it has been warned by leaders of the world health organization that this decision could result in body bags deaths could come about as a result of donald trump's decisions please don't politicize this vitus. it exploits the differences you have at the national level if you want to be exploited and if you want to have many more of what he bugs. then you do it now it's also important to note that republicans

in the u.s. congress and announce they plan a congressional probe a hearing to investigate china for its role and possible culpability in the spread of coronavirus so it seems that from the trumpet ministration and republicans there is a strong feeling that china is somehow responsible for the global pandemic and that world health organization and many international bodies may have cooperated with them in causing this kind of problem now critics of planning to this and saying this is a massive conspiracy theory this is an attempt to distract from the failures of the united states when it comes to dealing with this pandemic but many of the voices on the republican side of the aisle and surrounding the trumpet ministration are adamant that china is to blame and the world health organization the world health organization needs to be held accountable now the world health organization and beijing officials have released a timeline providing step by step information about how the pandemic was dealt with

from december onward showing coordination and cooperation between chinese officials and international bodies they say this narrative of a chinese cover up with which the world health organization is allegedly complicit simply doesn't add up that's going to hold for joseph chang hong kong based political science is with us live morning to be good in the middle of this global pandemic huge problems everywhere in the middle of it donald trump's now gunning for the w.h.o. whether or not it's a good time or not to do it does he have a point. well he has of only the sense that his position effects controversies at 3 levels in the 1st level you have some kind of you do not go competition chinese leaders are claiming that the successful comeback of the epidemic has well demonstrated the superiority of the systems in china this is of course the 9th by certain western countries and they are western political leaders

accusing china of a cover up at least and of our of not informing the international community promptly then at the 2nd level you have the competition for influence at international organizations like the w.h.o. the wu troves is now seen by the president under strong as favoring the chinese authorities then you have at the lower level you have the new show of competition among political leaders they all tend to crane that they have been doing well in the combat of the dummy and they to some extent are ready to shift the blame on their is parties are the troll has been involved in this in deeds controversies or all 3 levels president trump we saw that spark between them or the journalists were the germans would ask me what what what if you do for all of february me for

what played out there is donald trump in any way by doing this looking to deflect some domestic blame from him in the ways out did. to some extent yes he is obviously under pressure. in terms of public opinion polls he is falling behind tools of biden the now democratic candidate for the presidential race and he if he cared to show that he has been doing well. at the same time there are controversies between him and the governor of new york and the mayor of new york. who has to find no authority in deciding the resumption of the economic activities and so on so are there is a pendency of course for him to shift the blame on to w t w it joe this is his typical of position on ice to lesion is on the letter that some withdrawing funding for international agencies has been to

some extent his home are that he is willing to only to fund international agencies ready to serve american interests again a demonstration of his american 1st position i mean if these funds are cuts a huge amount of money on end of the day to us congress they've got to agree of 1st you think it is likely to go ahead or is it donald trump at the moment just making waves we're not going to go through with it you think. at the moment he seems to have international pinion is all thought of voiding a necessary quarrels over the funding of the w.h.o. because this well this is more or less the of the peak of the epidemic all parties concerned will like concentration and cooperation to deal with that you danny whatever control with the concern concerning the role of the w.h.o.

or the role of the director general and so on soup be discussed or investigated into at a later stage at the moment most countries concerned do not want to see a rock in the polls they want to see us move for all of the information of information exchanges and to allow their very job to do a good job in this very very critical time joseph hong kong based political scientists from spain live in the program take a careful. well donald trump isn't the only one trying to play the blame game the new york times is accusing the russian president of aiming the propaganda machine to discredit the american field system is our senior correspondent word go. nowhere in the world is it as bad as in america a quarter of the world's confirmed infected are in the states the economy's on the brink of ruin millions fighting in employment someone has to take the blame

preferably someone thorne we want to look into the world health organization because they really. they called it wrong they call it wrong they really they missed the call blame the world health organization blame the chinese blame conspiracies and of course blame russia decade of health this information promoted by president vladimir putin of russia has certain white confusion hurt major institutions and encourage the spread of deadly illnesses the new york times lies right off the bat there is no widespread confusion in fact americans trust in scientists and doctors has grown yeah the year according to pew research a record 9 in 10 americans trust scientists and doctors and less than half of americans trust the media or the new york times apparently for good reason. that it

will foster public cynicism that erodes washington's influence as well as the core democratic value of relying on demonstrably facts as a basis for decision making the facts were as follows in january it was the new york times that misled and misinformed potentially millions of americans about the pandemic telling them it's nothing to worry about and that the flu kills more people reach an audience is far greater than any russian bought network given the checkered history of quarantines throughout history they've been used to persecute the marginalized lawmakers and the media should rigorously examine the basis for any such restrictions and seems trumped followed the advice he read in the new. york times delaying almost every measure against the virus from mass quarantine to international travel restrictions to the last moment a device that has potentially could tributed to the deaths of thousands of

americans sure they apologized and admitted to being wrong but it was too late mr putin has worked hard to encourage americans to see vaccinations as dangerous and federal health officials as malevolent and here we thought it was a matter of public knowledge that the united states is the capital of the world's vaccine movement a movement that was birthed not by putin with the k.g.b. but by a british position who were really asli linked vaccines to autism the legit autism vaccine connection is perhaps most damaging medical 100 years even today masses in the united states refuse vaccinations because of 998. the reason it snowballed this because the media gave a controversial research paper. including the new york times which gave a platform for conspiracy theorists and vaccines to speak the spite the

overwhelming majority of the scientific community insisting it was nonsense it is absurd to accuse the n.y.t. of helping birth the anti vaccine movement 20 years ago but for some reason it's ok for the new york times to accuse others of spreading similar this information russian president has waged his long campaign by means of open media secretive trolls and shadowy blogs the regularly cost american health officials as patronize and frauds. putin didn't put a trash bag on that nurse when american sea then says dressed in trash bags they lose faith in the system in their leadership because their leaders had sailed them not because putin said so everybody in healthcare we are such a weak sister we did the right protection to be in that environment that is the little bit like. look at all the charlatans the bloggers the televangelists who are being watched by millions of americans is that putin do you see behind america's

faith based medicine coverage you going. on was it puton or american politicians who cut funding for counter pandemic programs was it's russian boats who urged americans elderly to sacrifice themselves so the economy could keep running i think all of my my fellow grandparents out there are going to be smart we all want to live we want to live with our grandchildren as long as we can but the point is our biggest but our biggest gifts we give to our our country and our children and our grandchildren is the legacy of our country we can go on and on about how american media and politicians bungled the pandemic caused untold suffering but we won't instead we'll end with this

quote from the new york times itself this is worth remembering that disease all the fear of disease come bring out the worst in humanity pandemics often feed scapegoats and jews were widely blamed for the black death creates an absolute so filled demagogues the only difference this time it's putin. legal major on his loyal told this is the same old story wrapped up in fresh coverage them. 1st of all whenever you can slam anything russian you can do it and they do it because that goes back and feeds the thread of russian collusion and or to anything that can be used to harm president trump in any way by again keeping this russian narrative going there's also something which is important they speak as though there is no alternative theory or that

there are no alternative believes as to the cause of this pandemic the efficacy the safety of vaccines the source of the vaccines are the source of the pandemic there are a lot of people on and various platforms internet citizen civilian journalists foreign who are making leaves very questions who have this same degree of incredulity yet the new york times and the mainstream corporate media speak of it in terms of dissent from asian they believe and they advance the idea that there is only one way to think about this disease or this pandemic i should say that there is one way and that anybody who questions the efficacy or the safety of vaccines is an anti vax or anybody who promotes that maybe there might be something nefarious behind this is a tin foil hat conspiracy lunatic this is also part of their message so

it's the same every time i have read this article at least 10 times at different times but just substituting new names and new accusations. good morning and choosing to watch this morning there are international live from moscow in the stories ahead this is sad spot on the soul to save lives the indian medical stuff facing increasingly. public panic over the corona virus that's what's causing a lot of people worried but sad to say we're covering it with.

liquid those that you can. quite easily. to keep in mind that to place an. order.

i guess the worst countries are also having to contend with getting enough hospital staff to treat the sick some are mobilizing medical students others bringing people in retirement but in germany the health authorities are also now having to appeal for doctors and nurses among the 1000000 strong migrant population there as our europe correspondent peter all of the reports next from berlin. it's not that long ago that migrants were being talked about as part of a crisis in europe here in germany the anti migrant feeling gave a boost to far right groups both in politics and on the streets now those same migrants are being called on to help with the corona crisis migrants with

a medical background could well be crucial in making sure that there are enough doctors to help foreign doctors who sucks in the bud years have a license to practice medicine can cope with growing the virus. in hamburg where the number of confirmed covert 1000 cases rose sharply last week they've launched an appeal for help from those with the required training including medical students and care workers around a 1000 have already said that they would help according to social media migrants could well be a significant resource when it comes to medical expertise that a much needed at this time according to the facebook group syrian doctors in germany there are as many as 14000 qualified doctors waiting to have those qualifications approved so they can help. you know on the move on we're going to colleges and i've tried to use my time with purpose here in germany but

unfortunately without success here in germany i've often heard there is a lack of doctors but in my opinion this is a big lie they say we need doctors but there are many here especially foreign doctors personally i've applied many times but there's always a problem of bureaucracy there creates a lot of harm for all of us now there are many dead because of the pandemic and i often ask how can i help but again and again i'm asked to fill out a form send an application no that takes a lot of time and time is very important especially in this situation the situation is a catastrophe. this groundswell of support. court for migrants coming to help their adopted land isn't just a german thing in the u.k. there's a petition to grant british citizenship to all front line medical workers helping during this time this is a chance for the british government and public to show them how much we appreciate their invaluable contribution to our society opponents to angola merkel's decision

to welcome refugees and migrants and 2015 said that they would be a risk to national security and a drain on society now some of those same migrants a set to put their own lives at risk in order to help germany at this difficult time peter over r.t. burl in. india is witnessing a surge of physical attacks against medical workers assaults are being reported nationwide with people afraid of catching the corona virus from medics or stigmatizing health care staff we've already contract to themselves the indian government earlier gave a public service announcement pleading for an end to the stigmatization of health workers doctors said they're being tracked down at home as well as facing violence and abuse for trying to do their job saving lives. at their dime i recently think you know how we could save our lives my husband my

keys my family members were in front of my eyes i wonder if they'd see them again not a single leader has come to see this attack was wrong and will support you such a low down has never been done in our country it has put people into a frenzy and panic mode they think it's the apocalypse we're not scared of infection we were mentally prepared for that as in the q.b. tional closet but getting beaten up that wasn't something we were mentally prepared for. india's medical stuff have long been targets the general secretary of india's resident doctors association says the discrimination in ca comes from a lack of public education and health funding are back on health care professionals if not then you phenomenon in india even before covered have been there out of money to predator ports of doctors and. nurses and being. on a day to day basis because of their poorly funded public health care system they carry

very high loads of. advent of a very sick case of that even the lack of care the public is known to plague the hospital properties and also i start doctor so this is not a new phenomenon but now considering the fear associated with the way test these instances have increased we actually are asking for a centralised legislation to protect health care workers. by imposing heavy penalty on the perpetrator and also jail them like which exist in my different other countries. well i'm kevin though in this way things look in so far this morning from moscow the 15th of april they're going to be updates every day from here at these times to keep a fully post on the latest news from us those who are correspondents and anchors in their other students around the world will be briefing you too as we continue our coverage common to social media's updated round the clock into service if you get
