so these are some of the challenges the health ministry is facing. let us do a job, maybe we can contain the virus. this is all happening with an election that took place and the government won and said coronavirus had been an attempt to suppress turnout? that may have affected the turnout. the turnout has been in president lee lo a 42%. the lowest it has ever been is 51%. the lowest it has ever been is 51%. the government's candidates were banned and disqualified from running. so we're talking about the hardliners affiliated with the revolutionary guards who have seized the parliament in a non—competitive election. they may blame it on a coronavirus, this lack of turnout. but the news of the coronavirus has com pletely but the news of the coronavirus has completely overshadowed the election is now anyway. thank you very much for coming in to us. the british boxer, tyson fury, has won the wbc world heavyweight title, overwhelming the american, deontay wilder, in devastating style. fury twice knocked his opponent to the floor, before wilder threw in t

and he's expecting that resignation now the head of the health ministry the health minister has also been speaking he said that iran is dealing with the situation. we need to be honest we need to be transparent in the face of those people who are trying to distort the situation regarding other regions i'd like to say we are dealing with the cases and the symptoms and we have all the capabilities to spot this virus if we have a case that is suspected we will move them to a better place to be hospitalized we have the full capabilities to deter or to treat and we will see everything in a clear way. now iran is finding itself increasingly isolated pakistan has said that the concern about the outbreak of the virus in a closed border to iran that's in addition to flights been suspended between kuwait iraq afghanistan and now oman so there's flights that been suspended between these countries and the land border between iran and iran has been closed but the mood here and drawn from what we've been seeing we've been seeing greater number of people during the last spring because of this disin

confirmed and it's positive my general condition is not bad i assure you that with the efforts of the health ministry officials and with the people support in the next few weeks we will defeat the virus to rest assured of that. well the deputy health minister made that announcement just the day after making a public statement on the response to the virus i said big has more now from tehran . yesterday he gave a press conference standing next to the government spokesperson denying that 50 people had died he had even said that even if it was half that number he would hand in his resignation but he was seen wiping stretch from his forehead people are questioning whether his condition is ok back yesterday because he was showing symptoms now we're in a situation where he's been in contact with the government spokesperson that room is full of journalists and politicians the government spokesperson has contact with the cabinet including the president president hassan rouhani so we're potentially in a situation where the government of iran the senior members of the government have come in contact with somebo

other cities we are waiting for official numbers we're expecting a official announcement from the health ministry in the coming hours from now they rein in officials have said they've received 4 kits from the world health organization to try and come back and control the spread of this disease of course iran is population of about 83000000 people and they're worried that many people are not exercising the appropriate measures to try and limit the spread of this disease for now they've said anybody that has symptoms should go to clinics or hospitals to try and be tested for the corona virus for the time being they are saying that there are 18 confirmed cases and 24 suspected cases of coronavirus in iran are i don't thank you for the dosage of bari live in tehran but our correspondent robin fried reports now from outside a hospital in the south korean city of daegu that's where people are being tested for the virus. these figures to have again spiked this saturday morning by friday evening we had 204 cases being reported across south korea they have now jumped by 142 calling for the figures that ha

as the government getting direction to its people in the people following those directions the health ministry the health minister himself expressed frustration that iranian the iranian public was not staying in one place against the guidance of the government in an effort to try to stem the transfer of disease to different population centers he was frustrated by the fact that traffic leaving to iran was up 20 percent as people try to get away from the reported cases of this virus but the one positive signal here is that iran has an economic imperative to do better it is a country that is already under extreme economic pressure and for it to suffer and want canonically that will definitely be a powerful motivator for iran's government to deal with this quickly ok zain but savvy than life presidents have ron thank you very much indeed. aside arabia's face more criticism of its human rights record from the united nations which is demanding the release of political prisoners that's a briefing in geneva the un's top human rights commissioner also push for more transparency around legal proceedings
