presidency will continue to stand with the people of iran given the fact they're so hard hit with chronic fire they're very hard so there's a lot of ways they are there. with their economy with their military and with obviously the virus they very hard it would you consider easing sanctions to allow medical supplies to get in there with us just to get it but we know that sanctions hit the people not the government will have to they haven't even asked us to do that if they want to read word love 'd to me and would love to settle the whole thing but i doubt they'll be it's a realistically how does a person in tehran pick on a colleague i think they love america i think the iranians love america i think they'd love to be free i think they'd love to have just some of the things that we have you know i remember many years ago friends of mine were always in around they were doing real estate deals in a room they were building beautiful buildings. all over and corporate houses it was

they were very successful and then one day there came to an end and really don't want the people of aurora they remember that was a long time ago but not so long ago they remember it and i'll tell you they love america they love what we stand for. and we're not looking for shit we're not looking for government to take over government changing no this country's been through that many times that doesn't work people do encourage other countries to poor me has certain you know what i really found what i didn't you know i put it out very publicly with respect to iran and said if they need help with respect to the virus we'd love to sit with the greatest medical professionals in the world would love to cities are you encouraging perhaps 2 to lend their support because there are many countries that healing courage in this case and. they've been a very hostile country they made a deal that president obama should have never made was a short term deal giving a $150000000000.00 giving them $1800000000.00 in cash greenfield there's room for him to go up and more responsibility will be easier if you. have

a moral responsibility to help them if they ask if they if they needed help i would certainly consider different anything she says they need help with us up to the united nations i'm talking about us and what happens is if they want to help because they have a very big case of virus a very very big case it one of the worst on earth if you believe what you're reading and i happen to believe what i see and what i know and if they wanted help we give them help even as president trump pushes back on the suggestion of easing sanctions the calls to do just that are growing in the united states the latest coming from former vice president joe biden who insists that now is the time to ease sanctions in order to make sure that the people of iran get the medical supplies they need. kimberly held at the wall china's government is warning people

random is live for us in new delhi this real concern elisabeth over sort of the nationwide deaths but real focus now on the ravi in mumbai. understandably so because as you say it's one of the world's largest slums and we've had a 3rd case a doctor who lived and worked in that of the slum settlement has tested positive for corona virus that area and which he lived is being sealed off and contact tracing has begun so he's the 3rd patient to have a connection to god only the 1st passed away on wednesday he lived in an area that's home to about 300 apartments nearly 100 shops all of which has been sealed no one's allowed to leave even to get groceries so a lot of concern and we've got already has the highest number of cases in the country so authorities sealing off what they can and that are we watching it very closely more than a 1000000 people there not all of it is

a slum develop settlements and but most live in very cramped conditions many don't have sole access to proper sanitation and of course the prime minister as you say you know has spoken or will speak to the nation about focusing about how he wants to make it as a supportive been his method but he's really not talking about the issues that many indians are really worried about centering around cope with going to. not at all so we heard from him at 9 o'clock this morning a few hours ago and his main message was asking everyone to come out on their balconies on sunday night and shine a light so that everyone knows that they're in this together and nothing about the issues like the fact that the number of cases have doubled over the last week he did acknowledge that the lockdown has been particularly hard on the poor but that is pretty much all he said now the other group that the lockdown has been that the

situation has been so difficult for the health care workers they're struggling as many health care workers around the world with a lack of personal protection equipment 50 have been infected we've had a number of resignations in delhi citing a lack of personal protection equipment and the government now says that it's going to order more than a 1000000 kits this wasn't from prime minister that in there more to this was from the health ministry that they're going to order kits because the medical association has raised concerns about what they called an acute shortage of equipment but unfortunately this is not the only problem facing health care workers with increasing reports of them being attacked or even thrown out of their homes around the country. health care workers trying to care for corona virus patients and carry out tests from the city of and or chased and attacked people who live here suspicious of anyone who has contact with the coronavirus the area was barricaded to contain 2

positive cases and keep 50 families under isolation predicating very barricades were vandalized and some offenders threw stones apart from the assault police will take notice of these 2 matters police tried to convince people in the neighborhood to allow health care workers to do their job and the police the targets too one officer was critically injured when he was one of several big had and was often the go in the state of the pradesh after they tried to stop people from gathering in defiance of the lockdown attacks on health care workers have been reported elsewhere to the ready money and i really like a community health worker and karnataka state says she and her colleagues were attacked when they were trying to spread awareness about corona virus and check if anyone had some to always get going to yahoo for not they grabbed our phones we were not allowed to call officials we have been working for the past 5 years we were never humiliated like this we tried to explain to them that we are here to

help them and together information about anyone who is suffering. and is health ministry has condemned the attacks that all would help if anyone has abused any health care worker then it is a shameful matter we request everyone not behave this way again because we need the help of the medical professionals is the leading this fight from the front we can only get ahead with this health care workers are just fighting coronavirus but also the stigma that comes with it all of those you know really horrible attacks on you know on health care workers and doctors returning from duties you know not allowing them back. and in fact in new delhi the government has decided to take all the doctors from one government hospital and housed in a hotel so that they can be free of that concern and gero india's leading public hospital vote to the government last week demanding action against landlords
