While lawmakers in washington are planning to do next and newly released body camera video shows an incredible rescue by 2 sheriffs deputies, work so hard give it everything you got strength of a lioness tough as a knot rocking the stage and we never gonna stop all strength, no sweat. Just in case you forgot all strength. No sweat secret. All strength. No sweat. California newly released body.

And help get people out Jessica Harrington reports. It just come from everybody from the newly released body camera video shows kern county deputies jumping into action helping an elderly couple escape a house fire. One of the deputy sees a woman in a wheelchair with her dog in her lap near the front of the home smoke surrounding her he quickly pushes her across the street to safety. Just but once she was out of harms way she tells them she doesnt know if her husband is still inside or not. The deputies rushed back toward the home that has flames shooting out of the roof and loud popping noises. They go to the front door and yelling. A neighbor says greg is in the backyard, so they rush around the home hopping a fence to get to him. He finally find him in the backyard and tear down a they do one final check of the backyard before letting emergency crews know that everyone is out. Last month we caught up with Deputy Kenneth mueller and diego gonzalez, the 2 deputies who jumped into action. They told 23 abc they knew they had to help. We knew that we had to make a decision we had to act. Because that the fire is going very fast the 2 say they knew fire crews were on the way but didnt think twice also time we have to put ourselves the site and thing about why working every single night is to keep people safe. So in order to do that we have to think quick fast and take decisions that sometimes seem like were trying to be heroes. But its just love for trained to do. But deputies said they see lots of bad things in their line of work but knowing that this couple is alive and well. Makes their jobs worth it very grateful for men like that the Kern County Fire Department says that they still havent determined the cause of that fire. Thats a 5. 30 on holy acts defacing places of worship. On the peninsula, the steps police are taking to combat the problem. And dealing with iran in the wake of now 2 deadly airstrikes in iraq in 2 days with lawmakers in washington are proposing for Trump Obamacare is a complete and total disaster. Let obamacare implode. Nurse these wild attacks on healthcare hurt the patients i care for. Ive been a nurse in new york for thirty years. I know the difference leadership can make because i saw what Mike Bloomberg did as mayor. Vo mayor bloomberg helped lower the number of uninsured by 40 , covering 700,000 more new yorkers, Life Expectancy increased. He helped expand Health Coverage to 200,000 more kids and upgraded pediatric care infant mortality rates dropped to record lows. And as mayor, Mike Bloomberg always championed Reproductive Health for women. So when you hear Mike Bloomberg on health care. Mrb this is america. We can certainly afford to make sure that everybody that needs to see a doctor can see a doctor, everybody that needs medicines to stay healthy can get those medicines. Nurse you should know, he did it as mayor, hell get it done as president. Mrb im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. The actor story now weve been following all night and since last night lawmakers in washington are trying to figure out what to do. When it comes to dealing with iraq. Tonight the us carried out another deadly attack on iranian backed militia just one day after President Trump ordered the assassination of the second most powerful person in iran general Qassem Soleimani washington correspondent joe khaleel reports with how lawmakers plan to deal with that situation. I think we ought to be very careful here. Lawmakers say the us needs to prepare for retaliation from iran one day after a us air strike in iraq killed iranian general Qassem Suleimani we havent given the president authorization to use military force to take us to war with around congressman ami bera who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee Says the us is next move is unclear does put us in a precarious position i mean i would take that rain and threats of retaliation seriously the risk of doing nothing was enormous both secretary of state mike
