12:06 pm
the winds on every everything was just timed for uh, an unbelievable circumstance. and it's be honest, be on words in terms of the rescue recovery operation, and how would you assess the helps that's being given to the island so far? what more needs to be done at the moment? yeah, i think what's important understand is um, nothing like this has ever happened. you know, so of course, you know, there's, there's, i'm sure view points that what, you know, what more needs to be done there's, there's people still stranded on these. they haven't concluded the search for, for bodies or of course thoughtful survivors. there's multiple different organizations and government agencies involved. and i don't, i don't feel the sense that i'm from the community that there's not how. but
12:07 pm
certainly it's, it's not enough at the same time. and the communities risen up to no surprise were a square, small island community in the middle of a specific millions of visitors come here, but it's, it's a small island population and um, from boats traveling around this outside of the island, it's been attracted. and as close off by, by access by roads boats, you have local fishermen taking provisions and helping bring people back in just the, the list goes on. it's, it's, it's, it's quite a part enough for it right now, but it's far from close to being over. so i'd say in the never mind the all the rebuilding the of course when the fire fires, employee will broke out, just gives an impression of say, you know, people looked full safety whether it was getting into the wolf into the ocean or elsewhere. where all this, the volume is right now in terms of a safe areas where they are located. me. well, i know there's, um, there's
12:08 pm
a lot of community members that are staying with others that you know, as we know, there's hundreds of homes and structures. last, i know there's, there's uh families and children and elderly people shall train into wherever they can. neighbors and friends that are outside of line of town that that wasn't the ravaged by the fire. there's, i think 5 shelters. and i wanna say 131400 people understand the shelters right now. in terms of asked about it, what sort of where are they right now? yeah, in, in terms of what happens next. obviously, that raise this edicts now from the president to offer more funds. what needs to be done physically right now in terms of the helps that people need, if they've lost everything that they've lost, and that in a safe area is like shelters. they obviously need to start all over again. where does the, how do you see that happening?
12:09 pm
yeah, i mean did suspend, you know, as you would imagine, just a constant stream of information and bits and pieces throughout the last couple of days. and today i heard a lot of, you know, just the need for food, the need for food and gas for generators. the power is out the waters out. and people again can't, can access, has limited access. so and then of course, you know that the stages for there's, there's been a huge effort to help all the visitors. i think it was in the last 2 days over 25000 tourist visitors. how to get off of the island. so, you know, it is what is one of the issues, initial stages and back to your question about some of the initial happenings is just um, it's on south unable. but the truth of it is, is the fire happens so quickly in a small um, you know, price on a dry town right by the ocean liner nowadays. then it's, it's true. the reports of people literally jumping in to our ocean to take refuge from the flames. the heat, the smoke,
12:10 pm
and i've talked with some of the 1st responders of 1st hand and just terrible stories about recoveries out of the ocean is just uh, it is again, just on top of it. obviously it's the situation you're trying to get your heads around at the basement is good. if you to talk to us the very difficult time jack duke and from bobby now dot com. thanks for your time. we appreciate the care and support from all over 5 us citizens have been moved fall, but of rainy and present to hostile rest as part of a day. oh, between washington and rob is the initial step in an agreement involving the eventual release of billions of dollars. so the radium funds frozen in south korea, boston jordan, possible, a see a mock num ozzie a much. sharkey, more a tab us 3, a 5 iranian americans who were moved from the of in prison into han to house the rust on tuesday. they should return to their families in the us in the next few
12:11 pm
weeks. this is a positive step, but i don't want to get ahead of its, its conclusions because there's more work to be done to actually bring them home. my belief is that this is the beginning of the end of their nightmare. and the nightmare that their families have experience the us will release several iranians and held for violating sanctions imposed on to hon. but perhaps the most important to, to have hon officials, $6000000000.00 long frozen and a south korean bank will be transferred to cut ours central bank called a re, officials will then release those funds only to be spent on humanitarian programs inside or wrong exports. a, it's significant that to hong would agree to such a financial arrangement. it suggests that a wrong wanted disagreement and wanted to de escalate attention somehow with the united states. and that it, it sees this as part of a strategy of trying to recover economic play from the reading position of
12:12 pm
sanctions from cove it from every thing that iran has gone through over the last few years. but let's not get too excited. i mean, let's understand this is still the atlantic republic of the ron. it is still severely repressing its own people. us officials are clear, the prisoner swap does not mean relations between the 2 countries are getting better. we are not in talks with iran on the return to the jcp away the nuclear deal, and that's, that's not on the agenda right now. what we are talking to a roundabout, particularly through our switch representatives and our partners in the region is getting these americans home. we are still focused, as we ought to be on all the other destabilizing activities that are on, is capable of and doing in the region, supporting rushes, war and ukraine, supporting terrors, networks throughout the region and a lot. and then of course the, the threats to maritime shipping in the, in the gulf itself. one diplomatic step forward,
