metro area what's he been saying. that's right the president came out with this and yet that day before leaving in the a while leaving the white house on his way to virginia where he bid farewell to a ship that was navy hospital ship that is in route to new york elaborated on it but here's the what do you get to say earlier today about this quarantine idea some people would like to see new york quarantine because it's a hot new york here's the maybe one or 2 other places certain parts of connecticut why aren't i thinking about that right now. we might not have to do it but there's a possibility that sometime today will do a wiring short term few weeks under your. probably figured he said hard to get

out of so what's the governor of new york been saying about the president's proposals. governor andrew cuomo says in essence that he doesn't know what trump is talking about. trump said that he had discussed this with cuomo holo was asked is a daily briefing earlier if that was true he said no there have been no discussion about warranty he also said i don't even know what that means in some interviews he's done with us television networks cuomo has said that he thinks that such an order would be illegal even likened it to a civil war type of situation so the governor of new york is a very adamantly against this idea and furthermore there there are laws that govern public health emergencies the united states federal government through the centers for disease control has the authority to order individual people

into quarantine if they are believed to be carrying diseases but there is no provision that would allow the federal government to shut down an entire area or higher state beyond that this question of how feasible this is since so much traffic flows through new york up and down the eastern seaboard 'd it is such an important city and beyond feasibility the effectiveness of it because there are cases of coronavirus virtually everywhere in every state now also shutting down new york what good would it do it's hard to say if you're in beyond new york what is happening in of the states. everywhere around the country governors are moving forward with some stay at home orders one of the latest the governor of kansas is obviously far from new york

a far from california. she told her people that they would need to stay inside as much as possible until at least the 19th of april the governor she also said that they have not received from the federal government what they want it there was a survey done of u.s. mayors recently in the past day or 2 and over 90 percent of the mayor said that they didn't have what they believe they needed in their cities to face you know a peak of cases that is coming the things are bad now places like me or places like los angeles and other especially here i'm going to end up in california in the bay area san francisco but things generally are it's acknowledged by experts and by all editions a lot of the things are going to get

something to eat and drink and harm. there are 120000000 migrant workers in india many of whom a daily wage earner's. after business is shot many like kitten can no longer afford to pay rent she's traveling 300 kilometers with her young child. we've been sitting here 3 days there's no food or water available here nothing no milk to give my child either. human rights groups say india's lockdown has disproportionately affected migrant and daily wage workers you have that bridge is . nearly a week after the indian government ordered all bus and train services to stop stranding millions of migrant workers with their predations state government started bos'n workers from delhi on saturday delis han the shelters have been

attack from at least 2 missiles the saudi led coalition has confirmed that a ballistic missile was intercepted over the capital riyadh residents say they heard at least 3 explosions state media are reporting that a rocket was intercepted over the southern coastal city of just on the red sea near the border with yemen something handy as editor in chief of the international interest a current affairs and that assists magazine with a particular focus on the middle east he joins us now via skype from london good to have you with us sam why now what does this does this incident. this missile attack tell us about the state of the war in yemen. i think we have to look at this attack and within the context that it's taking place i think the who these have been on a p.r. offensive for quite some time remember there were talks about course one of those issues with the saudis that fell through and now we see that yesterday the who does

on t.v. said they would release saudi prisoner prisoners if saudi released palestinian prisoners this is part of a p.r. offensive to win the wider arab public opinion outside of yemen we've seen the who these come out with pictures of the prime ministerial meetings in son are sitting between themselves talking about how they're going to attack the cockpit at 19 this is all about giving the impression that they are now a state that they are now a part that's capable of fighting and this is why they knew the missiles wouldn't cause any damage to the they knew the missiles would not cause any impact militarily against this saudi arabia but that any means so that the world can say look how the who these are sending missiles towards the saudis from the side of perspective the m.s.s. efforts to air missile systems are working effectively now we remember the iran coke situation but the reason why i mention that is that on the iran code when they attacked that. all of the cities it was 1516 different drones attacking this one was only 2 missiles and this is what i believe that all of this is it beyond start

from the who are these 2 appear stronger than they actually are so how will saudi arabia respond can it respond and what will that response mean for the already beleaguered people the people of yemen who are suffering. i think the forces were aligned get a primarily on the qatar saudi feud they were aligned initially that somehow a couple because it's a question with saudi arabia it would help the who these give them positive coverage and we've seen some who the statesman receiving the coverage but judging from the response from from from from the companies it seems that they've been coming out and saying look if the who these really wanted to do any damage they should go after the u.a.e. and not saudi arabia's of the who these were hoping that the companies would do the p.r. campaign for them it seems they've been severely disappointed with regards to saudi arabia it's business as usual it's backing the intention recognize government and there's one more reason that we have to highlight one of the of these sent the missiles now there are rumors that had the the president of the intention recognize government might be going back to either and we saw today from on twitter heavy bin

but it one of the leaders of the southern transitional council that attacked the head these forces when they tried to seize an airhead there came out and said listen we recognize the internationally recognized government we are only against the muslim brotherhood implying that the s.t.c. are opening some sort of door whereby they will be able to say we will always with heavy so even if he comes back this is not a defeat for us but who is will be very worried had he goes back to either because it means that there is a unification taking place or send unification of the forces fighting goofy's who these can win if the forces of divided within the unite buddhism in a very difficult situation and this is why for the saudis it's business as usual and the hook is this is all just a p.r. offensive that appears to be fading sorry hamdi the editor in chief of the international interest has talked to so many thanks dude and. weather update next here on out 0 then reopening to holland the chinese city where the 1st coronavirus cases were reported begins to lift restrictions. and in other news mali pushes
