it's a slow process to investigate cases due to understaffing. many who cross over don't have passports or birth certificates in the current bill or just district normally $500.00 cases will be processed monthly because of covert $1000.00 at most 20 per month are completed. so the career long necks hope and wait for more people to come and see them at least giving them the chance to earn some money while they wait got hired or al-jazeera made time highly. so this is out there these are the top stories and us president donald trump is in one salacious to testing positive for cave 19 the white house is now rushing to find who else might have been infected the 1st lady and a senior aide also tested positive president does have. an as is we look busy to try to. make sure that not only his health and safety

and welfare is good we continue to look at that for all of the american people he continues to be not only in good spirits but very energetic we've talked a number of times this morning and several senior officials have confirmed negative tests including sector state my pump who's in croatia he says he plans to go ahead with the planned trip next week vice president mike pence is also tested negative. democratic rival joe biden has tested negative there were fears that he had been exposed during the presidential debate on shoes day and house speaker nancy pelosi said that she hopes the president's illness brings a change in policy towards the disease. this is tragic it's very sad but it also is something that. is going into crowds unmasked and all the rest this is sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen it's sad that it did but

nonetheless hopeful that it will be a transition to a saner approach to what this virus is all about the current president has described islam as a religion that is in crisis all over the world today and one more micro made the comments during an address that address all of them battling radicalism in france he also announced a draft nor aimed at strengthening security the anti semitism built was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic and critics say it will stigmatize muslims. are many it says it's ready to work with mediators to reestablish a cease fire and are going to occur on me and as a by your own forces have been fighting over the disputed region for 6 day and protests are growing in india following the recent growing rape and death of 2 women in separate incidents they are both from the marginalized community. you have to do with headlines got more news here or not there after inside the story or from .

just a month before the u.s. election president donald trump and his wife melania have tested positive for coded 19 so i will that all affect the most divisive campaign in recent american history this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm pete adult observers of american actions often talk about an october surprise the unexpected events all revelation that reshapes

the campaign into its final days but few would could a predicted the announcement that came early on friday president on will trump and trump have both tested positive for covert 19 that followed news that trump's top aide hope picks a contract with the virus the day before will bring in i guess in a moment but 1st this report from rob reynolds the news came in a late night tweet from the white house president donald trump wrote tonight the 1st lady and i tested positive for covert 19 we will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately we will get through this together it is not known how despite elaborate precautions and constant testing of white house officials the white house press corps and others in contact with trump the president contracted the virus. but earlier one of trump's top aides hope hicks was confirmed to have

tested positive hicks accompanied the president to the debate in cleveland ohio on tuesday trump phoned in to a fox television program earlier on thursday and talked about hicks having been exposed it's a tough kind of a situation it's a terrible bank so i just want to protest and we'll see what happens i mean who knows the white house physician sean conley said trump and the 1st lady are both well at this time and that the white house medical team will maintain a vigilant watch lonnie a trump later tweeted we are feeling good trump has several risk factors that put him in danger of complications from covert 19 he is in his bid seventy's and overweight would have to wait for the next 2 days and now for some people get really sick within hours but you know some people don't get sick until week after and so we have the reading be carefully observing the situation trump has

declined to wear a mask on many occasions occluding at rallies where many of his supporters also refused to wear a mask. his entourage including family members went masculists at the tuesday debate trump even ridiculed democratic candidate joe biden for wearing a mask as recommended by virtually all public health experts i don't wear mess like him every time you see him he's got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from and he shows up with the biggest mask i've ever seen if trump would have become seriously ill and unable to carry out his duties the constitution provides for a vice president mike pence to take over temporarily pence said he is praying for trump's recovery there can be no spin you can you know harbor ups there has to be clear understanding of what is going on with this person this president united states because otherwise if he's not going past the to take care of the business he

will have to be by the 25th amendment transition has to occur. but a glaring question now is how the news will affect trump's reelection campaign already trailing nationally and in certain important swing states it would seem that trump can ill afford to stay out of commission for a quarantine period of 2 weeks trump joins other world leaders including brazil's president gyre balsa naro and the u.k. prime minister boris johnson who have contracted the virus worldwide the death toll from cova done teen has exceeded 1000000 rob reynolds al-jazeera. ok let's introduce the panel today here on inside story in philadelphia we've got claire finkelstein professor of law and philosophy at the university of pennsylvania law school in knoxville tennessee we've got jason emmett professor of

international law at lincoln memorial university is also a former chairman of the young republican national federation and from essex in the u.k. we've got natasha lynn stat professor of u.s. government at the university of essex welcome to you all clear if i can come to you 1st how important is totally see through transparency on the part of the white house moving forward. as very very important because the white house needs to show that they're under control that they are taking this seriously that they care about the people who the president and the 1st lady and hope picks may have infective their rhetoric is badly undercut unfortunately the president's refusal to take precautions his ridiculing as your lead in mentioned of joe biden for taking precautions his attacks throughout this pandemic on governors who

put stay at home orders in place the attack on wearing mask the rallying his base particularly far right supporters to rebel against these precautions just recently we had the attorney general saying that the requirement to wear a mask was the greatest interference with civil rights since slavery so we've had a lot of rhetoric that is attacking the need to take precautions and this is absolutely critical now for that for the white house but also for the campaign to figure out how they're going to situate themselves relative to this to these attacks because they are a position has now been very badly undercut jason have we got a snapshot or an open window here as well on to a white house in chaos the news of the covert 19 test or having the

test before the test result came back positive was a leak in effect and it was caused by or we got that information because journalists were drilling into hang on what's going on with hope picks the president is so close to her it wasn't a press release it wasn't a tweet from the vice president it wasn't even the press secretary doing an on shuttle news briefing. well i've heard it all i like to say everything the claims of the director and government are all about marine one the administration what every administration has and i'm and newt big and it's not going to be able to govern. we have a particularly chaotic white house you know where. and i think this will grow in a little bit more chaos let's say the least because i don't think it's the end of who runs the that we know who's been the problem and the track and run errands and

i just like to say to my mind prayers are with our family and with how quickly atmosphere every of the government gets in the nation and it's good. and coming to natasha in culture so that this idea that hope picks had it she was tested she was tested positive and then she got on to air force one and she traveled with the president and that's crucially important for them clearly but also for americans when it comes to absorbing the general you know antique ovid 19 health message because they have a very close very intimate relationship we're told she's almost like a an adopted daughter to him they really get each other in another life they would be friends. right i mean i'm actually surprised that trump didn't contract the virus sooner with the raid that he was following the rules and never wearing a mask now it's been reported that there were there was constant testing going on

of people that are around him but he was exposed to a lot of people that have the virus was there the secret service staff or his son's girlfriend there are many people that contracted the virus and would have been reported was that he and the people that surround him were being more lax about things weren't wearing masks weren't he protective measures and so obviously he's going to contract it at some point but this present a problem for him because he's been trying to downplay the fires to the american public he said many times this is going to go away just like that this is no big deal and as the report already mentioned he was making fun of joe biden perera in a mask so he's going to have to really work out what kind messages you want to send to the american public about this now he's trying to project an image of strength of course and he doesn't want the campaign to be about the virus this really puts a wrench in his you know the because he wants it to be about law and order and that

is writing where elected to total chaos instead all we're focusing on is the virus and this doesn't bode well for him to take only because 40 percent of americans or only 40 percent american see that he's handling the crisis well jason how does he go forward with the election campaign if this is the best case scenario and 2 weeks from now he comes out of locked on isolation quarantine he looks a bit peaky he's lost some weight is a bit pale but he's able to go to one of his rallies he lives eats and sleeps that kind of politics that's his natural environment of course it is but what if he can't do that how does the election campaign move forward. you know i think it's a great question you know i think the supporters need the long route when the president needs a route or use 2 weeks are going to be i would never call it a i think joe biden campaign and it will be

a virtual campaign. truth be a white house in washington d.c. and press secretary kaley many is speaking a lot i have a let's listen to the president symptoms exactly had mild symptoms but he is hard at work and we're having to slow him down a little bit he's been on the phone with senator mcconnell senator lindsey graham but on the phone the chief of staff mark meadows talking about emergency declarations for states as well as stimulus so he's hard at work despite the mild symptoms that there. really are 100 or. 400 more to her or her or her why would you go into. it was deemed safe for the president to go on he socially distance it was an outdoor event and it was deemed safe by white house operations for him to do a lot of it was really you know i did not know i when i briefed that whole picture was positive i've seen some inaccurate reporting out of encourage you to ask the

question before you report because i had no awareness hope no not you but i'm saying others who reported it falsely i had no knowledge of positive tests for that reason wearing a mask to be indoors or may all be worried are you that the president i mean you're here to know you're around in your opinion marine one be your one and i'm reading from a white house operations made the assessment it was safe for the president in consultation without their say thank you guys you might have your idea that we have a government over here and. so that was it's a very brief kerry mcinerney the white house press secretary saying that the president is displaying mild symptoms but he's hard at work and when asked why he continued his. schedule when he knew that his aide who was had tested positive the protector said it because it was deemed safe by white house operations let's cross to unofficial who's been following this he's at the white house of course and very

very brief statement there and quick answer a couple of questions. by the prosecutor. well at least she's talking i thought it was quite instructive that when mark meadows came out he was the chief of staff he spoke a couple of hours ago he came out he said it was a cut to say of course people across america want to know what the president's health is from caylee mcinerney we had that he was fine he was walking away in the residence that you see behind me i think what was also instructive from her as she is saying that the event at bedminster his golfing estate in new jersey was outside that's not what we were told and certainly not what i've heard from people who were at the event but she said that the president was social distancing still asks the question though did he when i'm asked when he was outside was he mingling with the people who pay the substantial sum to be there for the event this was all about raising money for the campaign they don't want to get into those sort of questions

but those sort of questions are important because it will go to the heart of who needs to be contact traced who came in contact with the president who is potentially no spreading the disease elsewhere all of these things have to be taken into account and it's interesting that both mark meadows and the press secretary saying that they don't want to get into the president's symptoms but what we had from people who have been speaking to those who were at the event was that he seemed tired on thursday evening and lacking in energy now there are many things you can accuse donald trump all but lacking in energy when he has a crowd particularly of adoring supporters is not normally one of them and what about the other side of the fence joe biden his own they had that infamous presidential debate on tuesday what news from the biden camp. well just today you cite a test we knew that was going on and that he has tested positive as has his wife

jill. biden campaign saying quietly that they were not informed by the white house that this might be an issue that the president was being tested and then had tested positive they gleaned all of that from the media coverage that is essentially swarmed the american airwaves on television since just after 1 am american time when the united spent was made as for how this impacts on their campaigning we're not entirely sure we know that joe biden had a number of events planned and of course the big question is going to be whether or not the next debate will go ahead that's planned for miami it would fall just outside the 14 day self quarantine date and of course this all impacts on how would this hits the president if he is feeling weak if he's feeling jaded is he really in a position where he needs to stand up or he can stand up in front of an audience if

there is to be a limited audience because this was meant to be a town hall for an hour and a half and answer questions so there's a huge question mark over how both campaigns move forward from here a lot of people are circulating on social media 4 years ago you remember that hillary clinton had to take a couple of days off the campaign trail because she had pneumonia and donald trump mokhtari at rallies after that and made fun of it's clear that joe biden isn't going to get done in that road he's left this very much in terms some would even say i think presidential just wishing donald trump well hoping for his speedy recovery and not mentioning the fact that he has been in charge well more than 205000 people have died in america because of corporate according to someone close to the campaign they said they don't need to make that point because to use the press. didn't spare you one phrase it is what it is and people can see what it is

at the moment we were speaking to a republican strategist a little bit earlier who said that this really isn't a problem in the present is just experiencing what countless other people have experienced around the world and that he's working hard and hopefully will will be back and you wonder really what those at the margins of the voting how they will be viewing this how will that side of the electorate electorate take this on. i think it sounds as if the republican. strategist is getting republican talking points of whoa this won't impact the president and it does because the president over the last couple of weeks has made a big play more than the last couple of weeks has made a big play of how he said a couple of days ago that we are rounding the corner on this we're coming to the end of the crisis you remember when they held the republican national convention and a lot of it was held here at the white house the message seemed to be we are through this we're almost over this crisis we have continued. the president himself in

a number of senior people have been impacted by this so it doesn't quite fit into the narrative to the jobs figures that came out just in the last few hours here in the united states and they've almost been forgotten in all that's going on the number of jobs has been returned certainly the unemployment rate has dropped under 8 percent which is good news but the strength of the recovery no when near what a number of independent analysts had predicted unsettling nowhere near what the white house was hoping for so if you build in the narrative towards election day which is now just over a month away. has been through the crisis over covert people are getting better we're close to therapeutics not many people are getting this as the president said the economic recovery is really kicking in and things are going really well if you take both of those the equation it becomes a much harder battle for donald trump to win reelection i did that to the fact that

in the most recent polls he was 8 percent behind across the country don't what he's so much about national opinion polls look at the key swing states and he's behind it joe biden in those as well so it makes things incredibly difficult for him for reelection and the fact that he has covered just kind of a reemphasizes and how emotional not message to do is who may be sweating and. it's not simple lucy pointed out there are lessons to be learned from this that he thinks the president has gone to rallies where he hasn't worn a mask the people behind him have but those in the hole haven't and she's saying lessons need to be learned and one of those lessons is that everyone should wait i must i don't thanks very much indeed on fischer the white house on the latest news about donald trump out of work and according to his press secretary. testing positive for cave in 1000 what is opposite number of course joe biden has tweeted that he has tested negative for coated in 1000 had been concerned about

exposure from tuesday's debates with donald trump let's hear now from our white house press one can we how could he wraps up the developments during the past 24 hours the shocking news came in a late night tweet from the white house president donald trump wrote tonight the 1st lady and i tested positive for coded 19 we will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately we will get through this together it's not known how despite elaborate precautions and caustic rotavirus testing of white house officials the press corps and others in contact with trump how he contracted the virus but earlier one of trump's aides hope pics was confirmed to have tested positive hicks a company trump to the debate in cleveland ohio on tuesday trump phoned in to a fox television program on thursday and talked about hicks having been exposed

it's a tough kind of a situation it's a terrible bank so i just wanted it and we'll see what happens i mean who knows the white house position sean conley said trump and the 1st lady are both well at this time that the white house medical team will maintain a vigilant watch molony a trump later tweeted we are feeling good trump has several risk factors the put him in danger of complications from covert 19 he's in his mid seventy's and overweight. we have to wait for the next few days. some people get really sick with ours but you know some people don't get sick until week after we have to really be carefully observing the situation travis declined to wear a mask on many occasions looting at rallies where many of his supporters also

scorned wearing a mask his entourage including family members went without masks at the tuesday debate trump even ridiculed democratic candidate joe biden for wearing a mask as recommended by virtually all public health experts i don't wear masks like him every time you see he's got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from it he shows up with the biggest mask i've ever seen if trump became seriously ill and was unable to carry out his duties the constitution provides for vice president mike pence to take over temporarily pence said he is praying for trump's recovery and on friday tested negative for covert nighty there can be no spin you can be you know harbor ups there has to be clear understanding of what is going on with this person this president united states because otherwise he's not to take care of the business he will have to be by the 25th amendment transition has to occur. but

a glaring question now is how the news will affect trump's reelection campaign he's already trailing nationally in certain key swing states it would seem the truck can ill afford to stay out of commission for a quarantine period of 2 weeks joins other world leaders including brazil's president and the u.k. prime minister who have also contracted the virus worldwide the death toll from covert 19 has exceeded 1000000 can really help al-jazeera the white house. white house press secretary kerry mcinerney says the president is showing mild symptoms but has not stopped working i'm not going to get into i'm the president symptoms exactly had mild symptoms but he is hard at work and we're having to slow him down a little bit he's been on the phone with senator mcconnell senator lindsey graham but on the phone with chief of staff mark meadows talking about emergency declarations for states as well as stimulus so he's hard at work despite the mild

symptoms. that's the white house press secretary on the said developing story about to donald trump the president no states testing positive but now. we are going home to put the line we might in mankind origine. many moons ago mankind migrated from the majestic my kind of coyote to begin to journey of the modern human across the world and as the dust settles everyone is welcome back home
