States that is something that is in place to try and help stop the spread but it is not just the United States that to struggle in with the increasing number of coronavirus cases iran of course is also being hit hard i asked the u. S. President whether he thought this might be a time to ease tough economic sanctions on iran in order to help the people fight the virus he said. Eva braun in your presidency will continue to stand with the people of iran given the fact theyre so hard hit with chronic fire theyre very hard so theres 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 havent 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 theyll be its 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 theyd love to be free i think theyd 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 dont want the people of aurora they remember that was a long time ago but not so long ago they remember it and ill tell you they love america they love what we stand for. And were not looking for shit were not looking for government to take over government changing no this countrys been through that many times that doesnt work people do encourage other countries to poor me has certain you know what i really found what i didnt you know i put it out very publicly with respect to iran and said if they need help with respect to the virus wed 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.

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 im 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 youre 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 chinas government is warning people in the city a woman to stay indoors amid concerns over a surgeons of infections comes in a new law that was imposed in a county in neighboring province and in hong kong the government has reimposed some restrictions following a surge in cases there too the city has banned all tourist arrivals and transits through the airport last week as it ramps the perverts to contain the outbreak sarah clarke is monitoring events for us from Hong Kong Sara i mean there was always a concern about the chinese giving hand and its areas that it may be all clear to soon and that really seems to be the case.
