World stays at home europes homeless face an increasing struggle to survive. Welcome to the program the United States has suffered the worlds worst single day of the pandemic with close to 1200 deaths on thursday the total number of us dead has the past 6000 the total number of reported infections worldwide as more than a 1000000 or time powers are being used in the u. S. To get urgently needed equipment to hospitals President Donald Trump signed a defense production act ordering private companies to make masks ventilators and other medical gear our White House Correspondent Kimberly Houk it has more on the range of new measures announced by the president. As the number of corner virus cases in the United States continues to rise so does historic unemployment as a result the u. S. President announcing 350000000000 in Small Business loans to help Small Businesses retain employees who are staying at home right now as a result 1 of social distancing the u. S. President also saying americans can expect guidance soon and whether or not they should be wearing face mask when they leave their homes now there is in the midst of all this still strict social distancing guidelines and stay at home orders in a majority of u. S. 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 given the scene youll continue to stand with the people of iran given the fact theyre so hard hit with chronic fire theyre very hard here so theyre here in 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. Distributed but we know that sanctions hit the people not the government will have anything as to if they want to read word love to me and would love to settle the whole thing out but i doubt theyll be its a realistically how does a person in tehran pick up the phone calling i think they love america and i think the iranians love america i think they 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 and 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 but you know what the people of the red 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 a chair were not looking for a government takeover government changing no this countrys been through that many times that doesnt work people do encourage other countries to who are maybe has a certain amount of what i really found what i did as 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 let their cities are you encouraging perhaps to to lend their support because there are many countries that he only encourages his kids and. Theyve been a very hostile country they made a deal that president obama should have never made it was a short term deal giving a 150000000000. 00 giving them 1800000000. 00 in cash green filters to europe 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 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. Lets get reaction from our correspondent in iran zain President Trump saying that iran just needs to ask for help i mean whats the likely reaction and do you think from the iranian president if he does speak on friday well the likely reaction is to be really twofold and probably similar to what the iranians have been saying all along they dont take anything that President Donald Trump says seriously and thats what theyll tell their people dont take what this leader says seriously and theyll probably say the same thing theyve been saying since this coronavirus outbreak here began which is doubling down on their demands for sanctions relief the iranian president as well as senior officials here have actually demanded sanctions relief and to unilateral american sanctions they called it economic terrorism theyve reached out to the United Nations to partners in the e. U. The only thing they havent done is reach out to donald trump himself as a matter of their own Foreign Policy they refuse to liaise with this white house with this trumpet ministration and that really is the thing that seems to be rubbing the president of the United States the wrong way what he what he said all along and this really is something thats been going on here for some time is that it seems that he does not want to stick to the negotiated settlement the negotiated solution of the nuclear deal which was an obama era Foreign Policy achievement he wants to replace it with a more unilateral approach with a deal that his administration comes to with iran indeed of course the virus continues to devastate the country as the top story of course in iran and of the rest of the world whats the latest in terms of how the authorities are dealing with. Well what weve seen is expert projections that seem to suggest that things are going to get worse here there is some suggestions that this could become a kind of natural reservoir for the virus Going Forward president Hassan Rouhani himself a few days ago during a Cabinet Meeting said that this could be the new normal for iran in the next one or 2 years so what the government is doing is theyre scaling up Health Services the u. N. And other allies are offering medical assistance and humanitarian relief even the i. A. E. A. Has said it will send specialized testing equipment to help iran detect the virus quare quickly than standard traditional testing methods but the fact is that whenever the government does anything broader or or or tries to approach this with some sort of Big Government project the reality is that they 1st have to sidestep sanctions then deal with the virus. Thank you chinas government is warning people in the city of woman to stay indoors because a resurgence in infections is see it the warning follows the imposition of a lockdown on 600000 chinese in neighboring province in hong kong the government has reimposed restrictions on bars and clubs following the increase in infections linked to them all tourist arrivals and transit in hong kong airport was also banned last week lets get more now from sarah clarke hes standing by in hong kong for some theres always concern sara about the chinese giving would hand in a neighboring areas the all clear too soon and that really does seem to be the case. It certainly does and this is the warning thats been made to the residents were hired to basically the lockdown has been partially lifted but theyre still mourning the residents and not to go out unless its bottle or necessary the citys communist chief he said pretty much due to both internal and external risks people must remain vigilant now by saying weve got the partial lockdown was lifted last weekend we had 60000 people returned to hand as a result that was by trains and buses and cars the airport is still closed and it wont reopen until april 8th and thats when the full lockdown will be lifted but as a result at the moment the key battleground now and the warning to residents is that the 2nd round of infections could be the biggest risk as a result of people coming back to the city and that the latest figures we got out of china we have 31 new cases and 29 of those cases are what they were describing as important the terms of the infection weve also got 4 deaths and all of those cases have been reported in the by province that is a been a number of questions about the accuracy or the genuine nature of these calculations and of course china is denying that its concealing these numbers now on saturday as of this weekend and china has declared a national day of mourning where they want the people to remember those lives lost across the country flags will be at half mast and not just in china but also at consulates and embassies around the world as people are told to participate in a 3 minute silence a locals a direct consequence of whats happening in the region is that sort of commercial businesses are taking a bit of a hit yet again. If they are in hong kong as of friday nights a couple of hours from now 6 pm local time clubs and taverns and pubs will be forced to close for 2 weeks and this is the government trying to basically escalate its measures to try and get people to social distance and the reason why theyre not too focused on the bars and the pubs is that weve had a spike in the number of cases 62 cases were linked to a particular area known as language for one and these cases have been reported in recent weeks and the governor is now concerned that these areas have become a hotspot for where they get the virus can be passed on to the latest numbers we have out of hong kong we have 802 cases and 4 deaths but the numbers have tripled of the last couple of weeks and like China Hong Kong is focusing on this new battleground being the 2nd round of infections happening across the city so a clock in hong kong thank you know the United States is being accused of paying up to 3 times the price to read direct medical supplies by the fronts to its own hospitals in america French Health bosses say several 1000000 masks headed for their intensive care units were sent to china to the from china to the u.
