repression of the weakest tell the wild on al-jazeera. i've been covering all of that america for most of my career but no country has alike and it's my job to shed light on how and why. this is al-jazeera. hello this is a news our live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes latest figures show that more people have now died in the united states from the virus than china is reported number of fatalities. a grim day for europe as france and spain record their highest coronavirus death toll in a single day with hundreds of fatalities in the past 24 hours. a mere launches a search for suspected coronavirus cases after thousands attend

a religious gathering potentially exposing them to the virus. what is this is a large state you need to the. letter response the u.n. calls on world leaders to allocate 10 percent of national budgets to fight the pandemic asking developed countries to help poor economies. and setting up more business the company in gaza that's rehiring stuff so they can fill a huge demand for medical clothing. so coronavirus the deaths in the united states have exceeded the number of fatalities in china and that means the u.s. now has the 3rd highest death toll itself to italy and spain with 3393 people killed by the virus with more cases than any other country it's scrambling to.

hundreds of temporary hospitals in new york state remains the worst affected area the hospital has been set up in new york city's central park as the search goes on nationwide for more potential sites new york governor andrew cuomo says the situation will get worse and that the state is preparing for a long fight we are planning now for the battle at the top of the mountain that's what we are doing better staffing plan ready now for the battle at the top of the mountain equipment stockpile now we're gathering equipment that we don't need today because today is not the day of the battle the battle is when we hit the apacs depending on who you believe 14 days to 30 days from today a special white house correspondent can be how could he joins us from washington d.c. and kimberly the governor there saying that the pay could be as many as $30.00 days away and then we have to come down the other side in just asking people to manage

their expectations. yeah this is a message that is being echoed by governors like andrew cuomo there but it is a federal recommendation the social distancing now in place until the end of april you have to remember initially the federal guidance was 15 days that date has come and gone and now we are seeing that not only this recommendation but we are expecting it 21 g.m.t. further guidance in terms of the modeling that means that these are the predictions that have been used by governors in various states across the nation in order to put in place the stay at home orders it covers about 2 thirds of the united states now more than 250000000 people and essentially this modeling has been not made public but that is about to change in this upcoming coronavirus task force briefing and what we're hearing nic is that it's not expected to be good in fact we're

hearing not only are things going to get worse significantly potentially in the next 2 weeks but the number of deaths could be as high as 200000 in the united states and that's with people doing social distancing perfectly and i can tell you right now that there are reports all across the united states that social distancing is not being doing being done perfectly right now and so many people expect that this model could forecast things to be very dire and it is very troubling news now is that how does it. with what the figures are currently right now. in terms of the figures right now i can tell you that last check we're now at 177000 in terms of the number of people that have coronavirus and the deaths as you've reported now exceeding china now there are some in the united states that argue china being the authoritarian government that it is may not have been as transparent as many would

hope in terms of those numbers so there is that coffee at having said all of this the president of the united states has been tweeting even as there are these federal recommendations for staying at home across the board across the united states and here's what the president has to say he's almost encouraging people to go back to work or at least talking out the possibility in the future he says with interest rates for the united states being at 0 this is the time to do our decades long awaited infrastructure bill it should be very big and bold 2 trillion dollars to be focused solely on jobs and rebuilding the once great infrastructure of our country phase 4 what he's talking about there is the next phase of legislation he passed one or signed it into law on friday it was a 2 trillion dollars rescue package for the united states those checks haven't even been cashed yet and the president as there are these social distancing guidelines stay at home orders is already talking about the next phase and that is creating jobs to get americans back to work so it's once again the mixed messages we're

getting out of this administration can really lift moment can we help in washington d.c. meaning moyle don't choose nurses and paramedics right across the united states are growing increasingly desperate for more fake small hospital gowns ventilators and for other medical equipments and companies in the us are overhauling front through lines drawn speed up the supply of these lifesaving items it is rob reynolds. as medical professionals struggle to treat thousands of coronavirus patients donald trump has repeatedly and inaccurately assured the public that vast amounts of vital supplies are readily available or will be provided soon we have tremendous numbers of ventilators been the masks and numbers of masks are incredible but the promised supplies aren't getting to many people who need them one indiana hospital begged anyone with a sewing machine to start making masks makes you feel less helpless and it empowers

you and heizer bush the world's largest beer maker is making medical grade hand sanitizer as is the much smaller alabama craft distillery yellow hammer the processes are pretty similar to what we were doing before so it wasn't a difficult swap the global haynes brand makes underwear and sports clothing now under contract with the government it's also making masks really. early manufacture so there were some socks and underwear the t. shirts sweat shirts so we can reach a really critical we need to so we expect to make between 50000000 and 75 s. for the federal government with assembly lines shut down the ford motor company is collaborating with other big manufacturers general electric and 3 m. to produce medical face shields using 3 d. printers the companies also hope to adapt auto air filters and other equipment to make critically needed ventilators and respirators last weekend president trump

falsely said the companies were making respirators right now in fact full scale production is months away efforts by companies large and small will greatly help in the crisis but all those efforts take time and as the pandemic spreads rapidly time is one thing. doctors nurses and patients haven't got robert oulds al-jazeera los angeles. or the operation is no sign of slowing down in europe spain and france record the highest single day death tolls and more than $800.00 deaths have been reported in italy as paul brennan reports mourners there held a minute's silence to remember the victims. italy has lost more people to corona virus than any other country in the world their individual names risk being overlooked lost in the ever changing statistics of this pandemic but at noon in

cities and towns across italy every single one of them was remembered local mass stood on the steps of their town halls in a minute's silence it was an emotional gesture of solidarity an expression of tribute and then indication of hope and. these emotions all the mayors have gathered together in a kind of hug most importantly near the places that are suffering the most but the virus has been strongly is it grief for people who died it is a sign of respect to their families and their small o.-p. communities giving a message of hope in the bleak madrid rain spain's grave diggers are going about their task with grim purpose the virus claimed another 849 lives here in the previous 24 hours lockdown means the burials are lonely and heartbreakingly brief efforts to combat the virus and save as many lives as possible increased by the day this conference center in madrid one of several such venues across europe being

converted to ease the pressure on overcrowded hospitals the french president has visited a facemask factory in western france shortages of masks and protective gowns have left medical staff exposed to the virus with the global market struggling to meet demand the president wants self-sufficiency. i don't like these new flood usual or fast before the crisis we are producing $3300000.00 masks per week by the end of april it will be more than $10000000.00 meaning we have tripled our production in just a few weeks and we will continue these efforts to increase our production capacity so that by the end of the year we will have full independence in producing the masks and not need to rely on other countries the virus is also proving a challenge for the european union's democratic principles on monday the hungary and parliament granted prime minister viktor orban sweeping emergency powers to rule by decree without any time limits in brussels on tuesday the european

commission president underlaying expressed grave concern in a statement read out by his spokesman any emergency measures must be limited to what is necessary and strictly proportionate the most not last indefinitely moreover governments must make sure that such measures are subject to regular scrutiny coronaviruses change what might be considered normal there is nothing normal about europe streets being deserted about shops being closed about millions staying at home but one day tourists will return to the tourist a fresh array and enjoy the panorama across paris of the eiffel tower for now though the disinfecting squads barely glance at the view in the effort to combat the virus there is no such time to waste paul brennan al-jazeera well we have reporters following the story across europe in

a moment we'll speak to francesco again paternity who is in milan but 1st let's talk to monitor in madrid in spain and amar to the figures of i'm afraid bleak to fill us in on the latest. yes it was see the pollution of the number of infections in spain in the past 3 days we went from a 13.7 percent down to a 9.3 percent it was just yesterday but today figures have changed and we have 9200 new cases of corona virus out of 94000 cases of people that have tested tested positive positive of copy 19 the death toll today has reached 8100 with again more over 800 people 849 more dead and this is the worst. so far health ministry out or it is saying that the out turn in the today's figures might be due to the we can to feck but people are not very are not relying on that

the cause so everything is very very uncertain right resources of course because of getting stretched and stretched more and more by the day but there is news understand of new equipment arriving from overseas. yes yesterday and today we have had been receiving planes with a lot of equipment from china with received masks ventilators and these might help a little bit to the health care workers that in spain right now groups send around 1314 percent of our the total of people infected but from probably $1000.00 in spain so these people are in our very vulnerable situation they're battling against coronavirus in the hospitals and they haven't got the proper equipment they don't have any kind of safety conditions you know the 2 to attend all these patients the even have nurses and doctors even have seen terms and there are no test kits available for them to know if there are positive or not they're still go to the hospitals they still go back home and. spreading the coronavirus so the situation

for them is really vulnerable they have been struggling that they have been calling on claiming the government to supply immediately all the all the material or the quitman they need and hopefully start we start getting a little bit of it but but still they have to deliver it to the rest of the country they have to deliver it nationwide so there we're better but we don't not steal how good we are so these people the doctors and nurses we always take she would to them i did not log $800.00 g.m.t. with their 2 with regard to the balconies to the windows we started clapping everyone goes out to the windows even the police that are in the city trying to to . to to control the lockdown they put the sirens on so we pay a tribute but they are saying they don't want to be heroes they don't want to be martyrs anymore they just want to develop their work in proper conditions and the conditions they're doing their work right now it's terrible hospitals are

overwhelmed emergency units cannot cope anymore they're starting to think about the possibility of transporting patients from from one region of spain to the other it might be because become the epicenter of the pandemic so india. since the outbreak of our iris and become a cult anymore we've seen how the army eastern star sporting corpses yesterday took just 4124 courses to the east ice rink they set up as a funeral home so the situation in spain is really really. thanks very much anyway for that update talking to us from madrid. let's move on to italy we can get more on what's happening there we can speak to francisco young but tony who's in milan and different just go to leave cause the hardest hit country in the world. we have yet another huge death toll.

anyway are stabilized trend in the county at least $837.00 people died today a little bit more than yesterday the total death toll is now over $12400.00 confirmed positive cases are more than 105000 but the growth is much slower than last week that's the good news and the record have never been so many so. they are now almost 16000 there is a glimmer of hope according to the latest forecasts based on different researches italy could reach to pick in 7 to 10 days and see the new cases hit in the 0 in the 1st half of may but as you can imagine we're not even in april yet so it's a very long way to go. away from the intense pressures on the hospitals and health workers and so forth there's an intense pressure on individuals around the country

it is struggling to deal with this the the worry and the fear of contagion. yeah. not just here a longer deeper specially here because 'd here the lockdown started 3 days before the national law down so a new law they create expected in a couple a way of days will probably extend the measures in the whole kountry up to the 18th of april for 2 weeks more the public opinion is wondering now what's next it's been $21.00 days since the beginning of the national lockdown and it's not clear if the government is working on any other plan than the restrictions of movement and the supports of the health system there of course is much needed now but. the authorities know that social isolation is challenging demands a resistance of italians that's why the regions are offering free services of

psychological health support now and the interior ministry 'd has also allowed parents to take children for short walks close to home because this situation is starting to be really unsustainable the national t.v. and radio channels will broadcast tonight a big concert sort of live aid with musicians playing and singing from their homes of course not not all together with the aim of raising funds for the health system and to relieve the troubles of the people stuck at home right running into the cause and it's. really we do appreciate that thanks very much let's break down to mark the who's president of the polyclinic a hospital he says they've been building israelis largest intensive care facility dedicated to treaty about 200 kroner virus patients. not to broker a field hospital it's a real. that will hold that up to $208.00 persons. in

it way it has been built in the city of blen with a great offer to offer our region lumber the and it's in the provision of a 1000000000 elsewhere and we will take care of this new hospital in town and it would be the most the biggest intensive care. you need to leave and we have been there really really high pressure until 10 days ago when this hospital was soaked and the so we began to build getting 10 days we have. d.d. or this 53 1st basis in reality hospital as i said before and you can imagine that the longer the we have. more that 6. 1500 deaths and 41000 people infected. a 12 year old child who tested positive for corona virus

has died in belgium to say the girl had a fever for 3 days because her death a very rare occurrence more than 700 people have died from a virus in belgium we go has not been named as the 1st child victim in the country but the u.n. chief says the code 19 pandemic is the worst global crisis since the 2nd world war and tony could tears once 10 percent of global g.d.p. to be allocated to fighting the pandemic on diplomatic editor james bays as more from the u.s. . of course very regularly we hear from the u.n. secretary general talking about the problems of the world but i think it's worth putting into some sense of proportion how seriously the u.n. is treating the coronavirus situation the u.n. this year celebrates its 75th birthday and the u.n. secretary general says this is the most difficult challenge the organization has faced in all that time since the 2nd world war it is

a combination on my hands of a disease that represents a success to everybody in the world and seconds because it does have yes an economic impact yet you bring a reception at reception that probably is not parallel in the recent past the combination of the effects and there is on people's top. in that this is that it is a no sin breast and it has conflict are scenes that make as believe that this is indeed the most challenging crisis we have faced since the 2nd world war the secretary general says that funding is urgently needed particularly for some of the poorest countries on earth he remarked that in the united states congress raise some 2 trillion dollars in the bill that's about 10 percent of the american economy he said the world needed something on a similar scale about 10 percent of global g.d.p.

to fight the virus and the economic and social effects of the virus. to india now which is tracking down thousands of people attended a gathering of muslim leaders dozens of participants have since tested positive for corona virus and at least 10 have died $700.00 have been sent to a quarantine center or hundreds more are in hospital india is under lockdown with people ordered to remain indoors until april 15th elizabeth has more now from new delhi. we've still got buses taking people out of the mosque something like a 1000 people have been evacuated over the last 24 hours at least $24.00 have tested positive more than $400.00 have been showing symptoms and taken to hospital more than 800 have been put in quarantine and we know that 6 people who attended this religious gathering 6 indignations because they were people from all over india and other countries 6 and the nations who traveled after the gathering was finished from delhi to the southern state of pelham gonna have since passed away

and so too has muslim cleric in srinagar in indian administered kashmir so this has very much led to states around the country on a manhunt something like 6 regions have cases with direct links to the congregation half of the cases in the state of telling ghana are linked to what happened and so this is very much now being treated. as a hotspot to try and find others in the country that could be victims you know people who attended and could now be vectors for the virus. well pox on business yet have a significant rate of infections but it is preparing for the worst commodities more from islamabad. wallin treated dog down and in pakistan there is no transport moving and that of course allowing people to move across into other provinces the military is out and forth also to ensure that they are able to make

people aged head to that you're all down essential services of course i stated operating the country's prime minister announced that he would be setting up a wall and 3 relief forth which would be based on you in order to confront they spend their make the united nation it is also bracketing project on among liberal countries which were badly. breakout becomes a big issue so far the medical experts say that they had been no exponential growth of this covert 19 outbreak had in pakistan that watching the situation and if that escalates the country the already preparing to deal with a major crises the united nation also that developing countries like pakistan and added about $170.00 countries around the ward would need 2 trillion dollars of aid in order to bring them out of an economic crisis which is now looming because of

the global pandemic. the world health organization is calling on asia pacific countries to stay vigilant in the fight against the corona virus pandemic the warning comes amid further travel restrictions in japan and another surge of infections in singapore nearly 1000 people in the city state now have the virus so slowly as this. who hunt china where the virus began reported no new cases on monday it 7th day in a row and nationwide all the new cases reported when porter but the world health organization warns even for countries where the cases seem to be tapering off this is not the time to let their guard down its regional director for western pacific takeshi cause i says countries will have to adopt multiple approaches testing isolating and physical distancing to slow the spread of the virus even we all of these measures the risk will know will not go away as long as the endemic

continues. now there are these measures as well. as mission more countries are tightening restrictions japan has citizens not to travel to 73 countries and regions or a 3rd of all countries in the world cases there have topped 2000 with 2 clusters imagine in tokyo over the past week last week china banned foreigners from entering the country after seeing a rise in imported cases in hong kong residents who've returned from abroad are monitored to ensure they don't break quarantine rules and well to have the mobile app sends me notifications ok janelle asks me to take a photo of my arm with a wristband at my home but i have no idea if anyone is really checking my response malaysia which imposed strict measures on movement and closed its borders to

across northern areas of the middle east particularly. and then more in the fall calls as we go through wednesday that rain becoming quite heavy as well through eastern areas maybe get up towards the mountains and showers elsewhere beginning to push into western areas although iran now across the raven peninsula we have got some very strong winds again this will kick up the somme the dust and make for an unpleasant day across many areas particular a towards the castle again potentially and also bahrain it should be a little bit lighter there's wind should ease off as we go into thursday but the rains that back in the forecast again very widespread across areas of turkey and feeling a bit cool the high of just 50 then down into southern africa we have these go to break in the weather conditions across into madagascar want to nothing particularly

heavy where we have got lorraine's developing into will southern and eastern areas of south africa becoming really quite heavy as we go through the day and pushing up towards john. and also some scattered thunderstorms and they don't really go away by thursday and they still tend to linger in the same particular area although it should be a dry day on the warm day as well with a high of $27.00 those showers fairly widespread angola to the north and also the tools tanzania. strugglers. pleasure to play. us about i mean. an intimate look at life in cuba.

on our. one of the really special things about working proud is here is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much input in contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for it as you know very. liberally particularly because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues. with the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe.

but again you want to know it is there among the top stories this and coronavirus deaths in the u.s. have exceeded those in china united states now has the 3rd highest death toll off its own in spain with 3393 people killed by the virus with more cases in many other countries scrambling to build hundreds of temporary hospitals. eventually flags are flying at half mast in a minute silence has been observed to remember those who've died from corona virus is reported 837 deaths in the past 24 hours it's really is the hardest hit country in the world with more than 12000 fatalities and over 105000 infection. i do inspector general and tony good terrorises verging nations to work together as they tackle covert 90 is also called for 10 percent of global economic output to be allocated to the response to. the u.k. is preparing to open a new makeshift hospital in london it's being set up inside

a convention center little house 4000 beds health officials are expecting a surge in hospital admissions in 2 to 3 weeks you see the minister there says there are signs that social distancing is slowing the spread but now is not the time to relax those measures there are some signs as a result people observing social distancing that we may be able to flatten the spread of infection but now is absolutely not the time for people to imagine that there can be any read excitation or slackening this is a hopeful sign but we must be as stephen pointed out wary of overinterpretation any individual day's data we must ensure that we maintain this united national effort in order to keep people safe so of course once again get a standing by live via skype from london and saw in your hopeful signs yet the numbers just keep on rising. absolutely nick and this is the

anticipation of this peak that we're expecting here in the u.k. over the next 2 to 3 weeks and while i think there is this seems intention for the government to try and sort of provide some green shoots as they're pushing it to try and sort of hammer home to people how important it is that the actions that they're undertaking now is in the sort of limiting contact with other people is so important so they can try and get the message across that this is what needs to happen if they want to see the number of infections of transmissions of hospitalized patients try to keep to not necessarily to a minimum but at least to sort of trying sort of limits some of the worst scenes that we've seen in a chile and in spain as well so while this. is the message that has continued

to be relayed by the government as well there are still ongoing questions about. p.p. about the safety protection equipment for the front line health service workers as well as also the testing now there has just been announcement from the government that they are now getting the 1st batch of these new one lone ventilates models which is manufactured by consortium in that includes full mcclaren and us the u.k. is going to be receiving the 1st batch of them this coming weekend with about 6 units being delivered to hospitals already so that is at least answering one part of the question about sort of how to fill the. ventilators that so desperately needed in order to try and. get people through this pandemic in this country as well. as far as the testing is going as while still the u.k.

is lacking behind other developed countries in terms of how many people there are testing it's really lacking behind germany for example by the 10s of thousands it's crucial many in the front line health services saying for them to be able to house access to those tests because they need to be able decide what their status is you've got one in 4 health workers already at home either ill or exhibiting symptoms of coronavirus all of our family members are now without us putting extra strain on the house side of us as well now the hot side of the fighting drive through testing services for those hope with stuff but it still lagging behind and it still needs to get to that 25000 a day mark which the government has said that it's going to introduce but that is still not going to be done until the end of next month. all right sunny thanks very much this sunday gang in london france germany and the united kingdom have sent

a to iran under a trade mechanism designed to avoid u.s. sanctions it is the 1st transaction under a new system set up for the exchange of humanitarian supplies food after the united states withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal there on has just reported $141.00 new deaths it's total to nearly 2900 that's enough from zane beds beds ravi in terror on and he explains how the trade mechanism between europe and iran works. we know that this is the 1st shipment and its medical supplies are being traded through this. through this. trading system now what this is. called the instrument in support of trade exchanges it was set up as a bypass to u.s. sanctions and to the u.s. dominated global banking system after the united states pulled out of the nuclear deal and implemented sanctions on iran's oil and banking sectors and the idea is it's a barter system to help european countries signatories to the 2050 nuclear deal carry

on some kind of trade in food and medical supplies and other humanitarian goods with iran despite u.s. sanctions that the initial signatories to this instax were britain france and germany as you said late last year 5 more european countries from the e.u. joined up certainly something that angered u.s. officials at the time but the problem all along has been that the governments that are supporting instax to try to trade with iran have never been able to convince. a businesses to do trade because those businesses and other governments have been afraid of secondary u.s. sanctions placed on them for doing business with iran but begs the question what is the volume going to be is this going to be good enough for future trade with iran is the wrong continue to come back to crowing about risk something that the president a few days ago said could be around for years. now to in the city temporaries he is a research fellow at the roll united services institute a think tank on defense and security she joins us by skype from london welcome to

the program and he said 1st of all what's your thoughts on this how significant is . well it is significant because the u.k. france and germany have been working on setting up these mechanisms for nearly one year and a half it represents a still a commitment and a political commitment to these 3 european countries bottles off other european countries who became sure all there is a long way to monday in some sort of trade and engagement with iran despite all the challenges faced with u.s. sanctions and despite all other challenges faced with a nuclear file that regional situation and that i think that political commitment is something that it's going to. improve for some holiday british between iraq and the european countries particularly to you kate france and germany because of

immediate success however i think we cannot really talk about it being changed or when it comes to the level i think that trade and that is mechanism will ensure between the 2 sat and as far as the coronavirus is situation is concerned how important is it that iran receives this kind of equipment. i think these kind of mechanism was already discussed and in place before the current virus price is a merger and it's not designed specifically to talk to the department of isis coronavirus priciest however i think with the medical devices that have been shipped and are current it will be shipped moving forward the reason a potential for some of the shortage is that iran is manifesting 2 are the at least the some of the concern not iran is facing with. the nuclear and a virus we must look forward to life off the coronavirus of course and. to what

degree do you think this will encourage or maybe not encourage further economic business dealings of engagement with her own. i think there are has been already significant amount of interest by small business business. particularly by 6 european countries together with france germany and u.k. they have been interested in this mechanism however i think we have to remind everyone that this mechanism is for now at least maybe dedicated to humanitarian goods meaning medical devices the food and medicines and out for the time the disease is going to remain so and disease that's written that is another way to circumvent u.s. sanctions but rather to tackle the difficulties that iran has been facing and is going to be facing moving forward despite the u.s. sanctions good to get perspective

a new super city type of music from receive thanks very much my pleasure thank you . a 14 day nationwide lockdown has come into effect in uganda in an effort to slow the spread of virus the president has already banned public transport close the borders and urged people to stay at home uganda has 33 confirmed cases in nigeria the government has imposed a 2 week lockdown for nearly 30000000 people on monday lagos and to be jeff ace major gridlock and residents hurried to stockpile supplies before the order came into effect the president has declared sation of all movement with the exception of visiting hospitals and supermarkets although to me show yellow is a program manager for emergency response the world health organization in africa and he says the management of corona virus in the region has to be adapted to local circumstances when confinement missiles not taken in the african contests he said that we take into account how they

a vulnerable people will continue to live in many settings we also have people suffering. from a humanitarian crisis including security we have displaced people people dot com not to fall to live without any support and the way that the confinement may have even side effects including having assessed to normal services so confinement measure really think design in a way that's some enabling intervention so that go along with it confinement and also the confinement we really contribute to reduce cases by strengthening the detest by also scaling up the treatment a capacity so one sucked into vessel like confinement is not enough to deal with you may have many side effects that's weak on event was sent they have on this on off many people not to look far to 2 men for malaria as well as that they are in

many of the also so that all of them should be redesigning we fed 3 yards and then one tunnel going to out they could have it might not cement of a tunnel keeping of us services running. to germany where the city of jenner is the 1st in the country to make a face mask compulsory anyone using public transport or bent during a public building will have to cover their nose and mouth it follows austria's decision to require supermarket shoppers to wear masks public health experts say face mask do not prevent the wearer from picking up the virus we can help to stop an infected person passing his own i haven't been near they've really just at lancaster university and he says it's hard to dictate who should wear a mask especially since many of those infected don't show clear symptoms. then you have to n.c.d.c. the old guard wires that are meant we are lost if someone is not in activity in action but to be honest at this echoing 19 some have it in there that really
