federal agencies who do have under the health and human services through the c.d.c. the ability to quarantine and isolate individuals for the sake of prevention a little disease same way you have the state or or at least who also have that ability and the local jurisdictions whether they be found me or the city also have that capability as well and to ask your question federal quarantine and isolation authorities really but use quite sparingly here us because of the fact that it the authority overlaps that with the states you want to achieve carol approach and one of i'm going to get. i'm sorry a bit the signals breaking up the doctor what we're trying when the question see if we say if we get a decent signal from you what is your assessment of the president and the federal government's handling of this crisis so far certainly as with anything the federal government has the ability and the responsibility to help with the national

ordination efforts and as as mentioned we're perspective or teen isolation the authorities should be used sparingly and work from a cooperative 'd lens mean in working with the states and the locals to provide a national coordinating entity if we are ever going to be successful in attacking this pandemic ok so you're saying that i'm in the very specific powers that the both state governors even local councils have and the federal government the responsibility the responsibility splits 3 ways. that is correct the last large scale quantity that was done internationally was the $1979900.00 spanish flu and then everything else since it's been usually a focus of the states and locals in fact the last time the feds were there watching power was challenge was back in 1963 and even in 20 percent if you remember that gentleman i had the multi-drug resistant tb he had

a 20 percent case but that wasn't against the quarantine issue but more so around problems and violations there and it's all a lot clearer now many thanks indeed to a doctor. in washington the saudi led coalition fighting in yemen says that who think rebels attacked saudi arabia on saturday the coalition says the kingdom's and defense systems intercepted 2 ballistic missiles targeting riyadh in the southern city of jism residents in the capital say they heard at least 3 explosions al-jazeera has been hunted up 5 joints a lot of joins us now live from sanaa the capital of yemen one of the who think rebels who are thought to be the ones responsible for this attack what are they saying about it. yes so far there is no offical confirmation by the whole fees. but so far i have talked to some sources. they
