US&nbsp;President Donald Trump said on Thursday his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, was tormented by "dirty cops" as part of the probe into whether Russia helped Trump win the White House in 2016.

The president's comments in the Oval Office, latest in a string of remarks about Flynn, may suggest that the retired general could be in line for a presidential pardon.

Internal FBI documents turned over by the Justice Department on Wednesday showed FBI officials debated whether and when to warn Flynn that he could face criminal charges as they prepared for a January 2017 interview with him in the Russia probe.

Trump blamed Flynn's predicament on "dirty cops" and said the documents show Flynn is a victim.

“He’s in the process of being exonerated. If you look at those notes from yesterday, that was total exoneration," Trump said.

Fineprint: What Americans say about Trump's response to pandemic COVID-19?

Two years back, the US President Donald Trump began a trade war with China, it led to unavoidable frictions that have now snowballed into a full-blown diplomatic crisis.&nbsp;

The coronavirus pandemic is making it worse with the US President Donald Trump openly pitting America against China.&nbsp;The US&nbsp;President has become relatively consistent, and increasingly sharp in his criticism of China. 
 
According to reports, the US intelligence community has been given specific instructions. The Trump administration has set up task forces and it wants them to probe China and the WHO.

The US President wants investigators to find out the critical information that China failed to share and how much that has cost the world.

Three agencies are said to have received these instructions: The National Security Agency; The Defence Intelligence Agency; The Central Intelligence Agency.

The White House wants the investigators to explore every possible source of information.

On Wednesday, Trump called the WHO a pipe organ for China. "It [the investigation] is coming in and I am getting pieces already and we are not happy about it and we are by far the largest contributor to WHO,...And they misled us. I don't know. They must have known more than they knew because they came after what other people knew that weren't even involved," Trump said.

Pending an investigation, the President has stopped US aid to the WHO. "We can give this money to lots of different incredible groups. There are a lot of groups out there. It doesn't have to go to the WHO. We can give it to groups that are very worthy and get much more bang for your buck, but we're going to make a decision in the not-too-distant future," he added.

Now Donald Trump has his own reasons to go after China and the WHO. The US Presidential election is scheduled&nbsp;in November. And as the coronavirus death toll rises, his ratings will suffer. 
 
Trump said he believes Beijing wants his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, to win the race to ease the pressure Trump has placed on China over trade and other issues.

Beijing should take the blame for the coronavirus spread, but so should Trump for refusing to take the pandemic seriously.

Trump is upping the ante against Beijing in more ways that one which includes cutting off funding for research in China.

And it's not just the President who is taking on China, other American lawmakers are at it too. The US Congress is mulling a "Counter-China" fund.

A Republican lawmaker is pushing a bill that will create a dedicated defence fund worth $6 billion. The aim of this fund will be to boost America's deterrence against China in the pacific.

Leaders of the US, the UK and Germany believe that the deaths and the destruction of the global economy could have been avoided, had China shared the information about the virus in its early phases.

The virus, which originated in China's Wuhan city in mid-November, has killed more than two lakh people and infected over three million globally.&nbsp;

Has the US-China cold war now begun?

Numbers of countries around the world are reeling under unprecedented coronavirus crisis. Since December, when the first case had emerged, over three million people have become a victim of this deadly virus by now and thousands of others have died.&nbsp;

Scientists across the world are working day-night to create a vaccine for coronavirus. But is there a definitive way to treat the coronavirus?

Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/war-torn-yemen-reports-its-first-two-coronavirus-deaths-295896">War-torn Yemen reports its first two coronavirus deaths</a>

So far, the treatment has been largely based on trial and error. A combination of drugs has been used to treat the virus. In the US, there is one drug that is working which is called remdesivir. This drug has been described as the lifesaver bye doctors in the US.

However, though the drug is helping in the recovery of the patients, but, it's not 100 per cent effective.

Scientists in the US found that patients who were given remdesivir have a shorter recovery time.

The data shows that remdesivir has a clear cut, significant positive effect in diminishing the time to recovery, said Dr Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

"Although a 31 per cent improvement doesn't seem like a knockout 100 per cent, it is a very important proof of concept. because what it is proven is that a drug can block this virus," The doctor also said.

Remdesivir was originally tested to treat ebola patients. But, according to preliminary studies, studies indicate that this drug is working.

Scientists had tested remdesivir first on monkeys and the results were promising.

Chief of Molecular Pathogenesis Unit for National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr Emmie De Wit, said, "there was a very clear difference. So, the animals that were treated with remdesivir, they didn't show the breathing difficulties. We also didn't see much damage to their lungs after treatment which proved that the drug clearly had a very positive effect on the disease."

During the trials in the US, the drug was administered through daily infusion for 10 days after which the doctors said that the duration of symptoms dropped from 15 days to 11.

More than one thousand patients were part of this trial but, it is still premature to declare remdesivir the cure.

Speaking on the 30% decrease in overall mortality due to coronavirus, Dr Mark Denison of Vanderbilt University said, &nbsp;"these numbers don't look dramatic and they haven't been reviewed yet."

"What I'm optimistic about is that if you think of all, all patients, those that are maybe moderately ill to those that are profoundly ill and ventilator-dependent, the idea that you could have a 30% decrease in overall mortality and this even better improvement to recovery is, to me, pretty profound."

As the full results of the study are not out yet, the doctors are proceeding with caution.

In China as well, researchers have studied its effects but they claimed the drug to be ineffective in intial stage of the research.

The Chinese scientists were not able to complete their trial, apparently because the doctors didn't have enough patients.

The drug was tested on just over 200 patients there.

Despite the doubts, US President Donald Trump has jumped the gun once again as he wants authorities to fast track the permissions required for mass emergency use.

"Yeah, I want them to go as quickly as they can. Stephen Hahn, Dr Hahn (FDA chief) has been incredible at the FDA. He's getting things done in record time. there's never been anything like it. and yeah, we want it, we want everything to be safe. but we do, we would like to see very quick approvals, especially with things at work," Trump had said during a White House meeting.

This is not the first time Trump had done this. Earlier, he had touted hydroxychloroquine as the miracle drug. But, the drug proved to be life-threatening for some patients.

In Brazil, researchers had to cancel a small chloroquine study after some patients developed cardiac arrhythmias. Several also lost their lives.

Remdesivir shows promise; but, world leaders should not begin a mad rush to procure it.

Several scientists have issued a warning over these days and one promising study is not good enough to determine the effectiveness of a drug.

Coronavirus pandemic: Is remdesivir actually effective in treatment?

During United States President Donald Trump's visit to India in the last week of February, the official Twitter handle of the White House -- @WhiteHouse -- had started 'following' the accounts of President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister's office, the Indian Embassy in the US, the US Embassy in India and the US Ambassador to India, Ken Juster.

This week, the White House 'unfollowed' all these six Twitter handles, creating confusion among the Twitterverse, and the world.

To this end, the White House explained its reason of doing so.

The White House said its Twitter handle typically 'follows' the accounts of officials from host countries for a brief period during a presidential trip to retweet their messages in support of the visit.

"The White House Twitter account normally follows senior US government Twitter accounts, and others as appropriate. For example, during the time of a presidential visit, the account typically follows for a short time, the host country's officials to retweet their messages in support of the visit," a senior administration official told PTI.

The White House 'unfollowing' the Twitter accounts of President Kovind and PM Modi drew reactions on social media in India.

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said he was "dismayed" at the development. 
"I'm dismayed by the "unfollowing" of our President &amp; PM by the White House. I urge the Ministry of External Affairs to take note," he said in a tweet on Wednesday.

As of Wednesday, the White House had 22 million followers.

It has traditionally been following 13 accounts including that of President Donald Trump and his official Twitter handle, the First Lady, the Vice President, the Second Lady, the new Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, the National Security Council and the former White House Press Secretary, Stephanie Grisham, among others.

White House briefly follows Twitter accounts of host country during presidential visit, clarifies official

Millions more Americans filed claims for unemployment benefits last week, suggesting that layoffs were spreading to industries that were not initially directly impacted by business closures and disruptions related to the coronavirus.

The Labor Department's weekly jobless claims report on Thursday followed news on Wednesday that the economy in the first quarter suffered its sharpest contraction since the Great Recession. This ended the longest expansion in the United States' history as the economy reels from nationwide lockdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the virus.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits totalled a seasonally adjusted 3.839 million for the week ended April 25, the government said. That was down from 4.442 million in the prior week but the numbers are still high at levels unimaginable just months ago. Economists polled by Reuters had expected 3.50 million claims in the latest week. Applications for jobless benefits hit a record 6.867 million in the week ended March 28.

"Job separations will likely remain high for a while, as softer demand spills over into industries not initially directly affected by shutdowns," said Andrew Hollenhorst, an economist at Citigroup in New York.

Last week's filings lifted the number of people who sought unemployment benefits to around 30 million since March 21, roughly 18.4% of the working-age population.

At face value, the ballooning joblessness rolls imply a jump in the unemployment rate to above 15% in April.

Economists, however, say this unlikely due to the nature of job losses during the lockdowns. The government has allowed people temporarily unemployed for reasons related to COVID-19 to file for jobless benefits.

This includes those quarantined with the expectation of returning to work, as well as people leaving employment due to a risk of exposure or infection or to care for a family member.

However, according to the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, which compiles the closely watched monthly employment report, a person is defined as unemployed if they do not have a job and have actively looked for work in the past four weeks, and currently are available for work.

At face value, the ballooning joblessness rolls imply a jump in the unemployment rate to above 15% in April. Economists, however, say this unlikely due to the nature of job losses during the lockdowns. The government has allowed people temporarily unemployed for reasons related to COVID-19 to file for jobless benefits. This includes those quarantined with the expectation of returning to work, as well as people leaving employment due to a risk of exposure or infection or to care for a family member. However, according to the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, which compiles the closely watched monthly employment report, a person is defined as unemployed if they do not have a job and have actively looked for work in the past four weeks, and currently are available for work.

We are fully committed to ensuring that you and your family have the support you need to get through this time.”

The letter was signed as "Donald J. Trump" at the bottom of the page in bold, one-inch-high characters. The letter was printed on the white House stationery.

The stimulus payments are a part of a recover package worth&nbsp;$2.2 trillion that was been approved by Congress and signed into law by Donald Trump on March 27.

According to the economic recover law, a written notice has to be sent via mail to the last known address of any taxpayer who received one of these checks, within 15 days of the money being distributed. The letter should state details such as&nbsp;payment method, the amount of the payment and an IRS phone number to report any failure to receive such a payment.

US&nbsp;lawmakers now want an investigation into America's coronavirus response.&nbsp;The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee has begun preparations. Lawmaker Adam Schiff heads this committee of lawmakers on US&nbsp;Intelligence.

The model could be similar to the 9/11 commission, a bipartisan group of distinguished Americans who examined the threads that not only led to the 2001 terrorist attacks but also the communication failings of US&nbsp;Intelligence agencies.

These are vastly different circumstances to be sure, but the pandemic’s cost to human life, public health and the US&nbsp;economy promise to be disruptive on a widespread scale.

US President Donald Trump has hardly accepted any blame for the coronavirus response. Far from an apology, Trump has repeatedly used his presidential dias to hail America's botched up response.

The US continues to see a number of positive signs that the virus has passed its peak.&nbsp;Trump's statements have failed to stop the barrage of criticism against him.

The proposed commission will have 25 members, selected by democratic and republican lawmakers. The commission will have to make its findings public within 18 months. President Trump may have been able to put the Russia probe behind him. But now, he faces another one that&nbsp;comes after the death of more than 55,000 people in the United States.&nbsp;

US President Donald Trump has a "very good idea" about the status of Kim Jong Un but he can't talk about it now. Or so he says.

Trump's statement came amid rumours about the ill health of the North Korean leader.

"I can't tell you exactly. Yes, I do have a very good idea but I can't talk about it now. I just wish him well," Trump told reporters at his daily White House press briefing Monday.

There have been unconfirmed reports that Kim is not in good health. The rumours began after he missed the April 15 commemoration of the 108th birthday of his grandfather, North Korea founder Kim Il Sung.&nbsp;

It was also speculated that the powerful leader died after a surgery -- a report that was dismissed by North Korea. The country, however, has not dispelled the rumours of ill health of its ruler.

"I have had a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un. If I weren't president you would be... You would have been in war with Korea. You would have been in war with North Korea if I wasn't president that I can tell you. He expected that. That I can tell you," he said.

Interestingly, Trump has met Kim at least twice to persuade him to give up his nuclear weapons. And it was an US intelligence report that said Kim had died.

Reports cited satellite images to say that a train likely belonging to Kim has been parked at his compound on the country's east coast for a week.

The White House coronavirus response coordinator,&nbsp;Dr. Deborah Birx, has revealed a&nbsp;"breakthrough"&nbsp;which US needs in order&nbsp;to screen large numbers of people.

As per&nbsp;Birx, this&nbsp;breakthrough is antigen testing which is often used to check for the flu and strep.

The human body recognizes and&nbsp;responds to&nbsp;antigens. The antibodies produced by their bodies&nbsp;defend them against intruders such as antigens.

Antigen tests look for pieces of a virus which are usually the proteins that cover its surface.

It&nbsp;differs from a majority of&nbsp;Covid-19 tests, which look for the genetic material of the virus and require a number of chemicals to operate, many of which are in short supply.

According to the US&nbsp;Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), antigen tests are simpler and they can provide results in as little as 15 minutes.

However, major limitations of the test are&nbsp;that it&nbsp;can also take hours to run, it is potentially less reliable, they're not easy to make, and validating their accuracy can be time-consuming and expensive. They&nbsp;did not have a big market before&nbsp;now.&nbsp;

Antigen tests are tailored to the 3D structure of the targeted virus, which is more nebulous than a neat, orderly genetic code. Making a test that comes back positive for the novel coronavirus and negative for everything else is extremely difficult.
