al-jazeera. after. this is al-jazeera. hello from doha everyone i'm santa maria and this is the news hour from al-jazeera the u.k. prime minister is forced into quarantine after announcing he has tested positive for the corona virus also a grim spike in spain the highest number of people killed in a day by covert 19 infections in the united states of skyrocketed there are now more cases there than anywhere else in the world but with that surge comes

a call for unity china's president xi jinping says the u.s. and his country must work together to fight the global pandemic. and in sports germany's top 4 football teams pledged more than $20000000.00 to help of the club sleep process a quarter of a 1000000 jobs are at stake due to the football shutdown. it is a little after 1 pm in london where the developing news is that the u.k.'s prime minister has confirmed he's tested positive for the code 19 coronavirus bars johnson says he has mild symptoms he is now self isolating in his residence at number 10 downing street but that from there he will continue to lead the u.k. and its efforts to fight the virus british health secretary has also just tested positive. and it's also self isolating i developed model symptoms oh the corona

virus that's to say a temperature and a persistent cough and on the advice of the chief medical officer i've taken a test that has come out positive so i am working from home i'm so far isolating and that's entirely the right thing to do but be in no doubt that i can continue thanks to the with technology to communicate with all my top team to lead the national fight back against corona bars elsewhere spain it is now recorded the highest number of deaths on a single day 769 people dead in the past 24 hours that means the total number is up approaching 4900 and in amongst the almost 65000 infections are more than 9000 health workers but the highest number of confirmed cases of corona virus it is in the united states nearly 86000 people have been infected with iran half of those

in new york state alone and 1300 people have died nation wide ok here is the tame this hour for you. herrera in madrid looking at spain's worst daily increase in deaths of course fred ware is in moscow as well on the russian government's increasing restrictions we've got all mussed up in new york of course the most easily affected part of the u.s. but let's start in london jonah how outside the gates of downing street there not just the prime minister but the health secretary as well. yes that is the latest news that we've received just in the last couple of minutes kemal health secretary that hancock has been tested positive and has also gone into self isolation no word on his actual condition the prime minister we know is suffering from mild symptoms and very keen to put out the word on his twitter feed and number 10 spokesman's briefings but he's very much in control of what we understand that

he's that he's inside his flat in number 10 and number 10 number 11 actually he lives next door to the chancellor of the exchequer he's moved into rishi soon after chancellor's office to be closer to his apartment that is now he's sort of cordon sanitaire he's working inside there other members of staff in number 10 have also gone into self isolation after displaying mild symptoms no positive tests as yet johnson was last seen in the flesh as it were outside the door of number 10 downing street today pm last night when the entire country was called upon to come out step out onto their balconies on the street to applaud front line health workers in the national health service he did that soon i was standing nearby although well outside the to meet a distance it was noted last night mr johnson hadn't appeared at the press briefing shortly before that now transpires that he developed mild simpson symptoms during the afternoon on the advice of the chief medical officer he took

a test that was positive at midnight this morning at 915 g.m.t. he continued to chair a meeting of senior ministers remotely of course before announcing afterwards on twitter that he was positive and will now be self isolating for 7 days not the full 14 days guidance for households but 7 days we haven't heard a cogent explanation for quite why possibly because number 10 is being treated as a workplace rather than a residence so he's still very much in charge joyner i know the u.k. doesn't officially have a deputy prime minister but you would often think in situations. that some sort of deputy would step up and take the reins. that's already been agreed so there won't be any complications there should in the prime minister's condition worsened in any way it's already understood and agreed that dominic rob the foreign secretary he of course is positioned to opposite number 10 downing street behind me there in the foreign office he would become essentially promise to take on the prime minister's role and duties for however long it takes for the

prime minister to return but again i stress that this is the word we're getting from number 10 his symptoms are mild he's not incapacitated he is very much in control and just a few hours ago did as a chair an emergency meeting of senior cabinet ministers via video link. stored developments out of london the south thank you jonah hall in london bear. spain we mentioned as well recording nearly 800 deaths in the past 24 hours mother herrera is in madrid for us what an extraordinary number this is nonsense. yes says he's saying in the future sources give us today the day figures and they're giving us a 5000 of death to the cole and a total of a little bit more about 64000 people infected by corona virus in spain from which nearly a 15 percent 9100 of people infected in spain are doctors and nurses

this is quite worrying as the last few years released on tuesday there will be 5400 of the workers infected by corona virus and today we've got photos and more people from the help her from the health care system infected this is very worrying because experts are saying we shouldn't rely on these official figures that the minister are are giving us daily because we don't have enough test case here in spain so we might be talking in about 100000000 of people infected in spain by coronavirus because we cannot we cannot diagnose people because we don't have these testing kits and even more health care we're workers could be infected all these have coworkers are running out of protective equipment equipment and scorn a virus and they're demanding immediate supply of glasses gloves or we keep saying based there really are angry at the states because they're fighting the confronting

the current of ours in the front line so this is the biggest problem with now springs facing thank you for that update in madrid then we move on to russia where the government's bringing in more restrictive measures right across the country fred ware is with us from moscow this is no mean feat in a country that spans i think something like 10 or 11 time zones can you give us more detail of what the government is proposing. well sure russia is still pretty much behind the curve i mean they're there the number of cases total cases in the country topped a 1000 today but that's pretty remarkably small compared to a lot of places but any sense of complacency about that has evaporated in the kremlin over the past week or so they're now bracing for a wave that they consider to be inevitable. so they did do some of the things right

early on they they sealed their border with china in january they started corn teeming people coming back from abroad they have almost 150000 people in quarantine . and so far they've only had 4 deaths as of today but as i say they're bracing for more. did declare a national holiday that's what he called it a paid holiday starting tomorrow for a week in which almost all non-essential services in the country will be closed down and there are rumors they're not confirmed yet but there are rumors that moscow will lock down. and that would be quite a remarkable feat for a city of 12000000 but it is where the majority of the russian cases are located. so in in in russia i think they're they're doing most of the right things and they're no law and they're building a giant emergency hospital not far from where i live outside of moscow.

and so they are definitely bracing for the worst. thank you fred we for the update from moscow and now to the united states gabriel it's on those without seen in new york outside of a hospital you've got your own so is everyone behind you and they won't fool. to see a doctor these are all people that are sick that need to see a doctor and also want to get tested as well there's certainly a building a health care crisis that's building here in new york city and where you can see it is right here at elmhurst hospital that i'm at here in the queens neighborhood of the city the line goes for more than a block long. people arrive here before sunrise these are all people that are waiting to get into the hospital to see a doctor the problem is however is that this hospital is fool it's an emergency

room hospital that is at or over capacity and doctors and nurses are struggling to try to get people the help that they need just in this hospital alone there was 124 hour period where 13 people died as one doctor said the only way we're able to free up beds here is when someone dies and they're taken out of the hospital so the situation is very very desperate here for not only the patients that are trying to get in to get help but also for the medical workers you might have saw a couple nurses just walked by there a minute ago you also have police officers here managing things as best they can and there are over 300 new york police officers that actually have coronavirus themselves right here is where the crisis is playing out and probably the most

ominous part of all of this is is that officials in new york say we are still 2 weeks away in new york from getting the peak of the most amount of people rushing into the hospital to get care and we're already seeing scenes such as this. it's quite something gabrielle is on the great live reporting there outside the hospital in new york thank you. so governments around the world are using different methods to keep people in duels which is of course the main way to contain the outbreak but a few of them for you here in mexico for example a superhero cartoon named suzanne has been created to remind people to keep their distance from others in vietnam the government advice to people on how to wash their hands and maintain personal hygiene was followed by a dance video apparently. that went viral led to hundreds of thousands of people taking part in the dance challenge and in some countries governments of even

deployed soldiers to enforce quarantine restrictions rights groups say in some nations including the philippines hundreds of people have been arrested for violating rules on social distancing with some being locked in don't cage we've got fabrizio bony here with us now from the middle east regional director for the international committee of the red cross he's on skype from geneva taking all these precautions different proportions all over the world but it's here that there are plenty of places places we've reported on for years we've got their own problems i'm thinking of a country like syria for example where i mean how do they deal with. any potential coronavirus problems. i don't believe in such a situation the place next year young but not under syria yemen iraq media you have to think 1st about prevention. because it just before my intervention you show images of new york you can imagine that if such a situation takes place even

a country was affected by conflicts you could be just a mattress or it's prevention and then we face the 1st challenge which is isolation social distancing if we talk about people who are lost they are all people who are displaced i mean they have no hole. they are you know a prominent place so social distancing becomes a luxury and on top of this most of the those people have to struggle every day who are in something you know to buy food full. civil very dire situation very worrying and more than that her you might turn a system is needed in places like syria and all compounded by the fact that pretty much every country in the world is having to deal with their own level of coronavirus issues so the usual avenues of aid and assistance i mean are they starting to dry up. no but you have to think differently we have many

restriction of movement. and saw in the scares you have to rely on local resources on local capacity always keeping in mind that you have to protect those people the 1st thing we need to do is to protect the 1st line responders because if they're sick if the affected there is nobody has the hind to take care of the prevention and later is needed to cure people so each a global problem i think the all of us and the only option is a very co-operative enough. you know that you know approach. we do be honest we don't know how i'm going to get out of this but for sure it's going to be together . i'm just thinking about the point you made in your 1st answer about social distancing being a luxury and yet when we've seen any pictures coming out of refugee camps and the

lights all over the world i mean you it's easy to understand. what other steps can be taken that if that is the number one thing which every other government in the world. is recommending then what else can be done in these situations. you know when we talk about social distancing in the west it's mainly to stay home and that's it but when you're in places like this you know when i was faced strangely in the northeast syria. you know you stay home but you have no water at all saw in this case the response not only be whole the response needs to be also to bring basic services to those people so that's why it's important not to focus on only protecting us but also on making sure that what do it keeps on coming down to what and tracking keeps on happening is the same with food health so i would see the response in such an environment where you saw all the crowded people on the

surviving it's 2 combined of prevention at the same time the provision of basic services and i'm going to be. honest with you i mean to the size of the units he's he's he's down to he's really daunting. and today all my colleagues in the red cross red for small in the i.c.r.c. national society they are all on the front line. from italy who into yemen. really taking risk they are really going the extra mile and we all of the possible supports political support financial support and it's not argument for greater company from the i.c.r.c. thank you for your time we do appreciate it thank you for ever seeing me to south africa now which is reported its 1st 2 deaths from corona virus it also has the highest total of confirmed infections in africa it's got more than

a 1000 police are now warning anyone who violates the 3 week lock down will face 6 months in prison more from farming in johannesburg. we've understood from the department of health here in south africa that those 2 deaths happened in the western cape province one in a public facility and the other in a private hospital one think for many south africans the it really hits home that's an effort to see these 1st 2 deaths on day one of this lockdown because we are still seen people going out of their homes despite the government telling them to stay at home despite the government giving them a few days a hit of up down to do what was necessary in terms of the shopping and and preparing for the lockdown the scene long queues in some areas in johannesburg where people are trying to get groceries we also understand that they are. stores that sell alcohol also still open despite the government saying that this would be bad and entirely i think the concern for the government at this point is people it

hearing to these regulations just as it announced that so left because now see that 1st 2 deaths and also. just 6 days ago there were $150.00 cases now we're looking at the end of * this all africa only has about $7000.00 critical. that's divided and between back some belong to the public and others belong to the private sector between the 2 there potentially in theory about 3000 critical care beds available all of that perhaps on the hog. there is a big worry that there aren't enough beds available in south africa so that it continues to see these numbers rise 4 people have died in democratic republic of congo from corona virus and more than 50 new cases have been confirmed president phoenix has declared an emergency borders and are closed and there was a ban on travel to and from the capital kinshasa welcomed weapons are poured. over

these people want to buy bus tickets but no pass he's going to come the government of the democratic republic of congo has banned travel in and out of the capital kinshasa as part of its measures to try and stop the spread of coronavirus for many who struggle to get by made life even harder. can you imagine a president taking the decision to ban travel and restricting other ways to do business freely but without any measures to help the population even the price of everything has gone up nothing works well for us now in this town of conscious and the streets and normally packed the government's also closed congress borders but almost no food is produced here in the city it depends on supplies brought in from elsewhere we become bts business of preparing shoes has dried out he says he's expecting food shortages and price hikes. we believe the president is

right to take measures against coronavirus them but he must also be aware of how daily life as i'm astounded because of our no one lives in contrasts and without going out with every day the lack of food people daily in this country more than. ministry of health has confirmed more than 50 cases. most are brought to this hospital not all of come out alive and experts say the lack of testing capacity means they could already be many more restrictions should slow the spread but it is a city where millions are living hand to mouth day to day economists wonder how long they can be practically kept up it's unbelievable to think that we can go out and copy. the mechanism that is put in europe which means that we cannot confine people in a 100 percent level where they cannot move but with travel bans and now prices

rising life for people in kinshasa is going to get a lot harder in the weeks ahead malcolm webb al-jazeera. health care workers in sudan are scrambling to prevent the virus from taking hold there so far 3 cases have been recorded the transitional government has warned the health system won't be able to handle any spread of the disease and so volunteers are stepping up as hiper morgan reports from. it's may look like a normal day in this university lab but with each measurement of ethanol and this to the water students here are working to make hand sanitizers the product has become expensive and in short supply since the 1st case of corona virus was reported in sudan 3 weeks ago there is a increase in the price of the senate kaisers and we tried to do that by giving it for free for free we are targeting. the.

people who are. compelled. and the house where of course as well as the patients the hospitals and their relatives decades of mismanagement by the former regime of almighty bashir doubled with international economic sanctions have left sudan with a crumbling health infrastructure the new transitional administration has admitted that $100.00 number of coronavirus cases would be catastrophic for the country there are not enough oxygen ventilators or critical care beds to cater for even one percent of the country's $14000000.00 population and in many parts of the country off and on the development has all but cut off access to health centers so volunteers are stepping up to try to ensure infections day at a minimum have been less than a virus or not what we're trying to raise awareness on tell them and their families to not contract the virus we give them face masks on sanitizers and we try to target several groups to increase awareness and for those where daily income means

mingling with people the volunteers use posters as well as one on one discussions while maintaining a safe social distance. with no treatment or vaccine for coronavirus volunteers who provide the services they can to fight the disease while it may be too early to measure the impact of their work there's no denying that they services many would have been able to afford access to an emergency call center set up in the ministry of health is run by a volunteer medics to provide information to callers from around the country official state the support provided by volunteers will help contain the virus when you have been one committee some people from the. front line facing the problem. and. for now these doctors of the future continue to work hard making sure they keep people safe from the coronavirus one hand sanitizer at

a time. in australia the armed forces are being called in to help in full steam mandatory self isolation of people returning from overseas 3000 australians are infected and measures to restrict movement of titans from sydney. the government says this is necessary because about 2 thirds of people infected with the current virus in a strike have come from overseas and even if they were in so quarantine some have been possible you don't to family members and we need to get on to this if we are going to contain the spread so the military will be helping make sure that this is in full swing these passengers do stay in these hotels and other facilities also still be getting their temperatures checked it at airports and also you're filling out forms to say yes we will abide these rules and so fossilised there are around

3000 people infected by corona virus in a stroller year and while the right of infection isn't as fast as other countries will have been concerned about that right escalating over the past week this is after a cruise ship docked in sydney and thousands of about 1700 people did. more than 100 of those people were infected but in a strangely a many people are just as concerned about the economy as they are about these viruses all week we have seen tens of thousands of people now job list lining up at welfare centers wondering what they'll do next so at the moment we'll have to see if there will be more restrictions but the government especially in new south wales has said if these numbers rise we will see tighter restrictions and social isolation measures wellman if you will have seen pictures of stores much seen

themself full of empty shelves due to panic buying companies producing toilet paper and hand sanitizer they can ramp up production to meet demand but the un food and agriculture organization says food systems will be tested and indeed strained throughout april and may has some examples china's line start sector which is likely to have for jews. access to animal feed and reduced slaughterhouse capacity supplies of labor intensive crops might be affected in developing countries across africa g.'s were reduced workforce border closures and transport restrictions across the world would lead to fresh foods being wasted in higher volumes in fact wholesale prices of goods like fish have collapsed because so many restaurants of closed many governments in fact now encouraging customers to buy their fish and to buy it now earlier we spoke to this indian who is a senior economist at the u.n. food and agriculture organization and he told us international cooperation is needed to ensure food security in the most vulnerable of nations. 2 the issues can

never be overblown because it's such an important thing health and food are the 2 basic needs for humans and of course people are correct to be worried about the food situation to fly and whenever we have uncertainty in the market is also natural that human behavior gets really excited and panic prevails so we have to be very careful and you have to be prepared it is true that in this episode we do not have really a major let's say food supply issue globally fortunately grain markets are pretty good greens are very important for food security but what we have which is very exceptional and we are very much tested with it is what's happening at the local level at the country level now indeed we see countries here in europe people can afford going around the last supermarkets here and that but i think really attention has to be paid to the poor countries the more wonderful countries and if we don't help this will come back to haunt us here in few months down the line

certainly do not want to see this repeat of the situation we found ourselves back in 2007 and if you recall there was the last real food crisis when large countries fearing their own food inflation could export restrictions on for example it wasn't necessary it wasn't necessary then and it is not necessary now so i think that this is really where international organizations are calling for countries collaborate and collaborate and take a break from coronavirus means from i mean get a look at the world weather with jenny. what is happening in the you know what isn't happening in the us right now yeah hit the nail on the head absolutely also so whether it's a big country of course so there's just about every shop where you could find a let me show you the satellite you can see the most this chad has got something with it rain or indeed bit snow because have a look at this this is utah this is thursday they're clearing the canyons the roads actually shut in utah so they kick in the roads keeping them care of all the snow

and ice at the same time doing so those controlled avalanches as well in the cell with explosives and then at the same time we've got these thunderstorms a bull's nighttime view here so this is across into kansas the central plains and there been some fairly severe thunderstorms that are likely to more of these as we go through the weekend particularly on saturday really developing through the northern plains really him pushing across into the midwest but also you see this line of blue his so that is a front that's swinging through so the warm air is ahead of the slightly cooler behind and this is where we could house and severe storms but you can see all the temperatures 27 in atlanta but notice that 14 degrees in washington d.c. because it jumps up dramatically as we head into sunday is literally all this warm air is being funneled out from the south in the southeast and that is why the temperature is also high but it doesn't last probably just as well it is above the average for this time of year this time of year it's actually 13 celsius so go 26 on sunday 20 on monday back down to 13 on choose day and a quick look at elsewhere around the country this sunday you can see where the warm

air is and still that cold air across the west kemal and that of course is where we could even have some more snow but it is only march though and things anything can happen thank you jenny jenny with your international weather there we are back to corona virus coverage in a moment the party's over new orleans fears the city could soon be dealing with an outbreak rivaling new york's plus the pandemic brings on an unprecedented crisis in the airline industry billions of passengers are going. it's 1st the result is 1st. anspaugh we'll hear from also mills manager as he continues with his recovery from coronavirus. goods. when the boneless struck many died and many wrist all to end the epidemic.

this is their story through the lens of local filmmakers we see people making sacrifices and walking off a mission this is what i want all to see survivors a witness documentary on al-jazeera. in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic china is in lockdown. one on one east reports from inside the quarantine capital. on al-jazeera. al jazeera.

on the news on here at al-jazeera these are the top stories british prime minister boris johnson has tested positive for corona virus says he's feeling mild symptoms johnson all self isolating but says he will continue to lead the government's response to the outbreak through video conferencing also the u.k.'s health secretary matt hancock has confirmed he has also tested. for his in spain of reported a jump in the number of deaths from corona virus a nearly $800.00 fatalities in just 24 hours bringing the total death toll to more than $4800.00 and more cases have been confirmed in the united states now than anywhere else in the world however against the advice of many of his medical experts president trump says he's committed to getting people back to work as soon

as pos. and i look at thailand now where a month long state of emergency has left many people without a job with more than a 1000 people reported infected businesses have been forced to close in an effort to contain the spread of the virus and while some of them criticizing the government for failing to take strong action others took their own initiative to contribute to their own communities and the tire for example dozens of people out volunteer in every day preparing meals for those in need ready missing people that are now part of who are giving out free food to people who boarded brunt of the situation at least they can save up about one dollar 50 for a meal today i think a lifeline for them. well across europe the pandemic has exposed a serious shortage of the right protective equipment that doctors and nurses need as health workers struggle to cope with huge numbers of infectious people they are often risking their own safety whilst caring for the sick as were a challenge rickles. it's a stark image of this whole coronaviruses taking on spain coffins and the sick

being carried into one of madrid several overstretched hospitals inside another medics when minimal protective equipment as they try to treat the huge number of waiting patients a spanish nurse told me about the shortage of prop of face visor isn't gowns and the impact this has lead you to raid health care workers getting the big thing we did not anything is around 100 percent entirely ease has been 8 years in the 19 chang out west on i so many provisionals for morning and. our patients are getting any in the invaders from us but the shortage of personal protective equipment will p.p. is certainly not limited to spain in the u.k. the army has been delivering p.p. eat a hospitals for several days but doctors have written to the ministry of health complaining that still isn't enough and what there is isn't up to the proper standards for such

an infectious disease this is some of what's needed full face vies is he being 3 d. printed by a company in denmark also required all respirators and full length gowns but the coronavirus pandemic has shown p p e stocks across europe were insufficient and supply chains were vulnerable to an emergency of this scale france is feeding it too but the president of the hospital federation says dealing with the crisis should come 1st then the questions can be oscar. there will be a debate afterwards and we have enough stock did we not have enough stock will be careful in managing what crisis stock we should have when the epidemic appears but that's a debate for another time and it's not urgent. and as countries rushed to set up field hospitals to cope with the expected onslaught of coded 19 cases. a need for the right equipment will only increase this british construction worker found that

you want being prepared in london a sobering sight i didn't say this war is to be set very seriously until you know it's all there she's gone and come in and this is the saudis of the whole we've got $4000.00 beds to go in 2 more weeks this hole is a kilometer long you're not taking it seriously law because one thing we really need to start with the london field hospital n.h.s. nightingale is unlikely to be the only one planners are looking at many other sites around the country and we understand that this conference center in brighton is already being set up as one of them so field hospitals medical equipment volunteers coded 19 has triggered a mass mobilization of resources on scene since the 2nd world war will reach alan's down to 0 rights and. i want to bring you some good news now just to change tack a little bit a story about a young high school student here in doha who is doing his bit to help those less

fortunate have been impacted by coronavirus reuben baton took it upon himself to ask people for donations hand sanitizer mosques even just really the bare essentials that many low income workers who are stuck in quarantine yourself isolating may not have easy access to and he's collected so much he's got around 300 care packages already for distribution ruben thank you for joining us now. tell me about it you just decided to do this on your own yeah my 1st time ever doing virtually on lockdown and i knew that a lot of very low income groups could no longer. get rid of me warmer so i might come up here get rid of him or he or some of your partner and. maybe maybe you can get back your. 'd tremendous tell me what's in a care package if someone receives one now what do they get. you know. it's sort of

maybe right there. in one shampoo. so to reproach to make it very very brilliant and how are you going to get it up there because as people will not familiar with doha they won't know the industrial area has one large area outside of the city and it is as you pointed out on the lock down who if you had to work with to actually make this happen you had 3 good woman near me who worked with her people support your response. and she had a unit in there and that's your they're actually giving you their start there please remember we're i'm getting it. and you've been inundated with stuff i think i said what was that 300 care packages you've got you've got ready to go i mean that's wonderful. and then what do you think as a you going to keep doing this is well because you've got your 300 packages now there's still plenty of people willing to contribute you know people are still

writing your preprogram starting was there any particular thing that we just made going to be there brian but we will spend time here not break you know and then just keep going until you know we're going to. we're going to tell you done a wonderful thing and it's really great you could talk to us about it thank you for your time. ok thank you. to the united states it's the end of the trading week there the dow jones in new york has opened not long ago and it's not looking good is it down almost 3 and a half percent obviously not some of the really huge falls we've seen previously and certainly not down to that 7 percent area where there would be a cutoff in trading but the dow down $700.00 almost $800.00 points at the moment that sin new york on wall street meanwhile in washington the u.s. house of representatives is set to vote on a 2 trillion dollars stimulus bill aimed at propping up the economy during the outbreak the debate in the house has already begun the bills passed the senate

democrats and republicans agreed on that package after days of negotiation it went through pretty much with no hurdles let's check in with kimberly halkett in washington d.c. what happens from here kimberly. yeah well the house has opened for legislative business there is some debate that will take place and then notably this is going to a vote one of the largest packages in u.s. history in terms of rescue and it won't be done by roll call as we understand because there are and of members that were able to make it back for the vote given the fact that this is likely to be bipartisan legislation they're going to pass it without a voice vote unless there is somebody that in the words of president trump grandstands forcing a roll call to take place but there does seem to be bipartisan support for this legislation we did hear from the speaker nancy pelosi earlier and she did say that
