The World Health Organization has defended its handling of the Corona virus pandemic.

様態の副詞

The W H O has been sharply criticized by the United States and will be the subject of an independent inquiry.

I thank member states for adopting the resolution, which calls for an independent and comprehensive evaluation off the international response, including, but not limited to wh is performance.

As I said yesterday, I will initiate such an evaluation at the earliest appropriate.

S has been a harsh critic of the WH show.

In the past 24 hours, President Trump has escalated his attack on the world health body, threatening to permanently cut all funding over its response to the pandemic.

He tweeted this letter, accusing the W H.

O of failing to share information and being too soft on China where the virus originated, and he gave the W.

In the past hour, Donald Trump has repeated that ultimate and have a listen to this letter is a very detailed long letter, but basically they have to clean up their act.

They have to be much more fair to other countries, including the United States.

So we're not gonna be involved with them anymore.

Saying is considering the contents of the letter.

China, though, had much stronger words for the president.

Tries to use China as an issue to shirk responsibility on bargain over its international obligations to the W H.

Donald Trump's four page letter laid out the plans the results of his recent probe the administration carried out into the World Health Organization's response to the pandemic.

We've heard some of the allegations from the president before.

The wh show, he said, felt adequately obtain vet and share information in a timely and transparent fashion.

Chris Morris from the BBC is reality check.

This is talking about the early phase of the outbreak, really know what the W.

O says it was informed by China of a new moughniyah of unknown cause in the 31st of December last year.

Within a few days, it had put out an official statement asking for more information from China on.

By the 20th and 21st of January, it sent a team to Wuhan to investigate.

By the end of the month, it declared a global public health emergency.

Now you can argue that perhaps it could have acted quicker, but you can certainly make their arguments against many governments around the world around the world as well, including that of the United States on I think the key point in this the crucial point is that the W.

H O doesn't have the power toe force or compel any government to do anything, including handing over information.

And it seems like in the absence of that power, it decided, rightly or wrongly, that by praising China publicly, that would be the best way to get what is overstates.

Still, a secretive society to cooperate well.

Last month, Donald Trump suspended payments to the W H O for 60 days.

His critics were quick to call it a distraction from his own handling of the pandemic.

Whatever the motive, it came as a big blow to the W H O.

S is the largest single donor, pledging $893 million to its budget.

And according to The Washington Post, about $400 million of that money was halted when payments were suspended back in April.

While the paper reports in the same month, China committed an extra $30 million to the W.

So is there any reason to doubt the independence off the world health body?

Is one of the largest funders of the W H O, but it provides 15% So it's another majority of the money.

There's also substantial contributions from the UK from Germany and from a private organization that the Gates Foundation, which has quite a lot of money to push around, is the W H o pro Chinese.

Certainly China is very active in the organization on the W.

Perhaps its critics would certainly say oversensitive.

It's it's It finds it difficult dealing with Taiwan.

Because it's not a member of the United Nations.

And so that's a subject I think of focus of criticism of the W H.

But some of the things that Donald Trump said in his recent letter or to the letter yesterday to the W H.

For example, there's a tweet we've seen today from the editor of The Lancet, Richard Horton, saying, Dear President Trump, you cite the Lancet in your attack on the W h o.

The Lancet did not publish any report in early December 2019 about a virus spreading in Wuhan, which is what the Trump letter says.

The first report we published were from Chinese scientists on the 24th of January.

I think when you talk to all expert, the overwhelming majority of scientists say, by all means criticise the W H o.

They certainly know shouldn't be avoiding criticism.

But the idea of cutting off funding for the only truly global public health body we have in the middle of a global pandemic.

Any expert will tell you that's dangerous.

Well, All of this comes as members of the W H O agree to adopt a resolution by the U and Australia for an investigation into the crisis.

So what shape and form will that inquiry take?

So this was a resolution that, as you say, was tabled by the you on Australia.

It has bean accepted by all of the member states.

At least that was the consensus at this meeting over last couple of days of the World Health Assembly will see in the next few days whether certain countries might opt out of certain parts of it.

But essentially, it's going to investigate how this pandemic started, how it was able to spiral out of control so quickly.

One of the key questions will be what was the animals source of this virus?

We understand that it came from a fish market, an animal market in Wuhan.

We don't know what the animal sources that that is something that will be looked into as well.

These resolutions have to be agreed by consensus by 194 member states, and it didn't specify investigating any particular country did specify investigating the World Health Organization.

But it also said that it will also look at the international response.

Will look at a different countries response from sort sure China will come up in that as well.

Yeah, well, you and I have been talking about scrutiny and which countries that would be leveled out.

We're talking to having that conversation yesterday, weren't we?

I mean, I'm wondering how much scrutiny those countries will be open to in particular China when they move forward with this.

I think it probably does, although again, China wasn't specifically mentioned in this resolution.

But if you are looking at how these pandemic started, what happened in those early days?
