to reach them now you'll recall that donald trump had pulled the united states out of the world health organization but when biden assumed office the new administration in washington d.c. returned the united states to the world health organization but it seems that some of the trumpet ministrations attitudes and assumptions about china are still intact at this point we've got china shooting back at the united states and saying that essentially they seem to not be recognizing that the onus is on them to restore the confidence in the united states that has been lost around the world due to present trends leadership here's what we heard from china what the u.s. has done in recent years has severely undermined multilateral institutions including the w.h.o. and gravely damaged international cooperation on covert 19 but the u.s. acting as if none of this has ever happened is points in fingers at other countries who have been faithfully supports in the w.h.o. and at the south with such a track record how can it win the confidence of the whole world so at this point we've got the report from the world heal

if the world health organization have been controlled of the the health of the world they would listenion and sitting on china's doorstep and watching the pandemic materialize in real time. >> tucker: a so-called help organization allowing people to die for political reasons. it is hard to think of corruption deeper than that. why would we send the money? >> why, indeed? we are getting ready to repeat the same mistakes of the past by sending $200 million, $200 million for what for failing to protect the health of the world which is their mandate, right? they were called the world health organization. maybe they should be called the china health organization. but think about the fact that early on, dr. ted derose you just played the clip was going to china and seeing singing the praises of the chinese communist party leader, saying what a wonderful job they were doing in dealing with the pandemic. they hid human to human transmission from us. they downplayed the danger of the pandemic and then, of course they sent into china this delegation of 12 people who came back and said, well, it

but it seems like the narrative overall that chinese officials cannot be trusted that the world health organization and international organizations have some kind of bias in favor of china is that we shouldn't trust them if they don't feed into the anti china narrative coming from washington this tone seems to still be there there is at this point perhaps a change in the shrillness of the words from u.s. officials but overall the anti china perspective and the belief that somehow china is responsible for coded $1000.00 seems to be well alive in the new administration taking us through the developments for us correspondent kill up and. well to discuss the issue further let's welcome all into the program joseph gregory mahoney professor of politics at east china normal university always good to see you do you share the opinion joseph that the u.s. has gravely dummett international cooperation in tackling the pandemic. well it's absolutely the case the united states hyper politicized the pandemic. now it encourage unfounded and anti-scientific conspiracy theories demonize china and withdrew from the w

world health organization. yes i mean the world health organization clearly at a time of a pandemic even if you take the view that many world leaders do that it needs reform and is flawed is the only global body you have to coordinate things and so the ministration has followed the lead of every other major country in the world in working with the world health organization very much following the overall theme of the biden have been astray showing which is a commitment to multilateral diplomacy. thanks indeed jim space there live at the u.n. in new york where president biden also spoke about iran at the munich conference he said he's willing to reengage with a caveat that iran must stop what he called destabilizing activities earlier the byte that ministration accepted an invitation from the e.u. to sit down with iran and the other signatories to try to save the agreement the trumpet ministration withdrew from it in 2018 that imposed sanctions re-imposed rather sanctions triggering escalating tension between was

from the world health organization. that the longer the virus is allowed to spread the greater the risk of. our big message is that we should get on with vaccination as quickly as possible and at the same time do everything possible to reduce transmission because the more these viruses transmit the more likely they are to have additional mutations occur and more likely to have issues that could emerge that relate to reduced impact of the vaccines earlier we spoke to have a marie superfast roadworks university and a member of the world health organization's strategic advisory group of experts on the covert 19 bank scene she says the vaccine effectiveness will be closely monitored during their road. many of the countries where we've seen this very steep rise in the 2nd wave. that so far from the data that we've been able to gather are being now affected by the variant that rejected in africa many neighboring countries. had a very accelerated 2nd wave the good news is that in most of these countries now the numbers are com

administration and their national security advisor jake sullivan said he has deep concern about the world health organization's recent report and the chinese interference in it. >> the world health organization, it made all sorts of untruthful, or misinformed, claims about this virus. so the w.h.o. has a lot to answer for. when it comes to this investigation into the origins, unfortunately what we're seeing is a panel that has been sent to china that is deeply conflicted. you have people who were hand-selected by the chinese government. they had a veto over who could come in. >> brennan: u.s. intelligence has said covid, according to wide scientific consensus, was not man made or genetically modified. you're not alleging it was, are you? >> no. the ledger on the side of the explanation that said this resulted from some kind of human error far outweighs the side of the scale that says this was some natural outbreak. we have very strong reason to believe that the chinese military was doing secret, classified animal experiments in that same laboratory, going all the way back to at least 2017. we have good reason

transmitted to human-to-human this is what ccp told us, so chinese communist party told the world health organizationh the world health organization in your view? >> well they clearly not world health organization they are just a puppet for the communist party in china that is all they are, whatever they say the world health organization puts out. look at what they did they wait a year to even go do any investigation in wuhan i called on them do investigation last february took one year do you think china might have covered anything else do any of us trust you communist china we don't what this says while we are biggest donor to o who given hundreds of millions of dollars if world health organization accountability act number one not giving you another dimon, unless you start being world health organization, get new leadership stop being a puppet for communist china, by the way, the world health organization, taiwan outing to be a member to take good action or citizens they did the opposite we've got to hold them venl very disappointed biden administration don't appear to want to hol anybody accounta

hopes for transparency from china and you talked about the need to get that data from the world health organizationarlier in the pandemic, you know, april and may, there was a lot of criticism that the world health organization was praising china for its transparency at a moment when china certainly wasn't. are there any type of reforms now that the united states has rejoined that president biden would like to see from the world health organization? >> well, you know, one of the reasons, of course, that we want to take a look at the data ourselves is because we were not involved in the planning and implementation of the investigation. we also feel, of course, we support, we rejoined the world health organization, it's imperative that we have our own team of experts on the ground in our embassy in beijing and otherwise to make sure we have eyes and ears on the ground. but i don't have any more reforms or anything to announce for you at this point in time. >> back to the cbo report that peter was asking a second ago. is there a specific plan for anyone who would lose their job if the minimum wage is

i noticed the world health organization said the other day that some of these variants are on the wane which means that maybe they are now being managed more effectively but before we get the data we don't know for certain what i do think is that hotel quarantine is still very high risk is a policy it prevents people coming into the country who might have to come in and that police often come in so it doesn't help the economy recover secondly it's high risk because as we've seen in australia and new zealand there are some who tells where the doris is being transmitted from one of the guests through to a security worker or catering work at work ina hotel is then take a need back and transmitted it within their own communities it would be much better for effective testing to be done at the borders on arrival and then anyone these positive is taken in school to their own home where they could quarantine in their on their own in their own whom self isolate there and if that was inforced properly i think that would be far more effective than hotel quarantine. spatters bring within germany c

president biden has already taken the initial steps by rejoining the world health organization and joining the covid-19 vaccine global access facility so that 190 countries in the world, we can join together to make sure that everyone gets access to this vaccine, particularly in low and middle-income countries that otherwise would be challenged. why? because that's our values. humanitarian concerns globally. but it's also in our individual interests because if this virus is not contained in a country, it will get to the united states. and as chairman menendez says, the longer this vaccine goes -- the longer this virus goes globally, the more variants we're going to see and the tougher it's going to be for us to be able to control the covid-19 around the world and in the united states of america. 104 million infections globally. this is a global pandemic and requires a global response. and this budget resolution gives us the wherewithal in order to do that. and as senator menendez has pointed out, it's not only the deal with the direct eradication of the virus, which we have to do, but the
