S. President talked about in the oval office as he met with the governor of texas this is certainly interesting because youll remember in the russia investigation that envelops this administration for quite some time in the early years that probe into whether or not there was collusion between trumps 2016 Political Campaign and russia in the midst of all of this the very short lived National Security advisor Michael Flynn was caught lying to f. B. I. Investigators about some conversations that he had with the Russian Ambassador well the u. S.

Yeah there have been a lot of criticisms about the u. S. President s handling of coronavirus but one of the other big headlines lauren that were chasing right now that is as come down is the announcement of the uit United States to remove Patriot Missile batteries from saudi arabia what this is significant is the fact that its removing these missiles marks the end of a recent military buildup to counter iran according to officials so what were also understanding from all of this is that there is a reduction in other military capabilities that is being considered this really marks the end for now of this large scale military buildup to counter ron so that is one of the other headlines that we are chasing but certainly this is something that is just another of the issues that this is ministration is having to deal with given the fact that it is so focused right now on dealing with covert 19 not just at home but abroad can be how can i thank you very much indeed.

E.

C im not well. Theyre sick so some of its hard for some of them as you mention that. Some of them cant read so its hard for them to pick up a phone they have a right they dont know who to turn to so people die in as we say in the biblical biblical terms people advance knowledge knowledge is power i want to conclude it doesnt have knowledge of the community its power is taken away in the end this looks like an issue of poverty and of race of minority ethnic groups less well connected to Public Services more likely to be doing low paid jobs that they cant afford to give up and very often directly exposed to the virus as nurses as bus drivers often on the front line of the fight against coronavirus. Its yet another way in which this virus is tearing into societies and communities turn a whole aljazeera london one as we can speak now to dr sanja dishonor she works for the National Health service here in the u. K. Thanks very much for being with us so do the figures surprise you or was it your experience in hospital that suggested that that that was the picture. So these things are a sobering what were seeing coming out today from their own ass about black and ethnic minorities dying at much higher rates and it if it didnt surprise me to be honest and thats the precursor to a virus we know that like an ethnic minorities in the u. K. And also the u. S. Have Poor Health Outcomes do you face great values accessing health care and also at greater risk of premature death and actually if you look at other areas of health care where theyve broken down the data by ethnicity so if you look at the 10 to care for example in the u. K. A woman is 5 times at risk of dying in childbirth than a white woman so that you have known about these disparities in health between nation groups sitting in the u. K. For quite a long time whats your experience though in terms of growing of are specifically. Do you think black and i think minorities are less likely to seek help and therefore dont dont get help soon enough and then more risk of dying is that could that be a factor. I am not sure i dont think that is the fact i think there is a problem of and lacking i think minorities more at risk of getting the virus in the 1st place and more at risk of suffering and more complications and more risk of dying from the virus because theyre more likely to have Underlying Health problems and i think we need to be asking the question why that is why is it look like an ethnic minorities are more likely to have Heart Disease diabetes hypertension and with all the diseases your social circumstances that your diet you pose to exercise your stress levels or the impact you risk of getting these diseases but also there is the such a show coming from the us that people that experience every day acts of discrimination and that end in 10 increases your risk of course soul and this one that was intent again predispose you forgetting all of those 3 conditions and to today the government was asked at a News Conference whether they would actually were planning any action as a result of these figures and they said that the Public Health england was looking at what interventions could be sensibly made a to protect frontline workers from from backgrounds what kind of measures would you think are important in that context. Yes its good to hear the government saying that theyre going to take measures to protect but to be honest i think that this should have been done start the pandemic so start all frontline work is not just black and i think minorities or Front Line Work that should have been assessed to see they were out there sc we know this but as for for becoming unwell and die from this disease and those workers should have been taken away from the front line and everyone should be given adequate protection and i think theres a real problem here where his in the u. N. The n. H. S. And also in the care sector and why do girls havent been given adequate protection and thats why were seeing you know quite shocking the highlights of of deaths among workers compared to other countries and theres a particular put my thinking the n. H. S. We know quite this bias and that back in i think minority doctors but felt felt that as much more difficult for them and were much more less likely to speak out about. Play safety issues and their white counterparts and then we know over the past few weeks and i know that anecdotes leap is also been surveys being done and lucky that the minority because you have an adequate protection or have been has failed the 15 test the means of protection doesnt fit them properly and yet at the pressure to continue working in high risk situation that have not been able to speak out when they have done so have felt pressured to continue working and clean themselves up but its so thats quite if you put them here that need to be addressed and around within the n. H. S. About raising issues but also about issues around discrimination within the n. H. S.
