lady's doing very well so would thank you very much appreciate it i will never forget thank you allan fisher is at the white house and looks at how events have unfolded over the past 24 hours. people will say it's been a remarkable 4 years with donald trump in the white house that 2020 has been a remarkable year but this is still being around markable 24 hours by any standard it was late on thursday night that donald trump was told that one of his closest aides top picks someone who is always in his orbit had tested positive for covert he then went to a fundraiser at his golf course in new jersey called in to a t.v. show here in the united states to see that he was going to get a test for covert and just before 1 o'clock in the morning here in the u.s. donald trump tweeted out that he had tested positive as had the 1st lady confirmed

by the white house a short time later no on friday morning we were told that the president was feeling a bit fatigued was running a small fever but was still continuing to work from the residence while self isolating and he had been in touch with senior staff to give them guidelines of what he wanted to be achieved on friday but clearly at some point during the day there was a concern for doctors no remember there is a specialist medical unit here at the white house but clearly there was such a concern that if the president's condition deteriorated he might not be able to give him the level of expertise required it's such a short notice and so they decided to fly him from here at the white house across the washington skyline to the walter reed hospital in bethesda is going to spend a couple of days there he has a specialist unit on standby where he can walk as a president meanwhile here at the white house we're seeing a lot more staff wearing masks something that hasn't been so apparent over the last

6 months let's not cross over to walter reed and bring in mike hanna he's joining us from there so what is the treatment plan for the president's mike. well we've had one question on sid and that is that we simply do not know at this particular point but a spokesperson for the walter reed medical center has issued a statement saying that any inquiries as to the president's treatment have to be referred to the white house press office so basically at this stage we do not know what kind of treatment the president will be receiving in the days to come what we do know is that any information will come out of the white house press office now all indications are that there will not be any more information coming out in the course of the evening now throughout the day it was mainly the press office or president's political spokespeople who were giving information about the development of the coronavirus and the president only at one stage did

a medical expert actually give out information and that was to confirm the use of an experimental anti body drug which the president was given one dose of so at this stage it doesn't appear that any more information will be coming out in the course of the night we do expect some information to come out from the white house press office in the course of the morning and mike before the president went into walter reed he did post that video on twitter so the optics for president trump are crucial in this aren't they i mean he's a president that always wants to appear strong and in control. very important that the president to tweeting out that video thanking all of all for his support and saying as well that his wife is well she's obviously also tested positive for the coronavirus and then he took pains to walk to the marine

one helicopter dressed in a suit to wearing a mask which is the 1st time you see them walk across that particular step of the white house lawn wearing the mask when he arrived here at the walter reed medical center once again he walked down the stairs of the helicopter unassisted climbed into a car waiting car and was driven driven to the center of the complex and to his suite which is staff say he will be using to work from for the next few days but certainly the optics of this very important president trump taking quite care great care to show that he's walking that he's wearing his suit that he's not incapacitated enough to me the assistance for transportation to the hospital but there again all of that being said it is a serious situation that the president has been transported to the hospital clearly there were signs among his doctors concern among his doctors that is situation was

getting worse and that he did require the specialized treatment and that the specialized treatment should the virus deteriorate in his body and that only a major hospital like this could actually provide clearly although there are facilities at the white house they did need something more specialized and something more expert to deal with the coronavirus the president is suffering from all right mike hanna thank you very much for that update from just outside walter reed well the democratic presidential nominee joe biden is campaigning in the swing state of michigan and he says that his team will remove all negative ads about trump and that the president's infection is a reminder of how serious the pandemic is. i like to start by acknowledging them which i'm sure all you do as well should be my prayers for the health and safety of the 1st lady and president cruz united states after they tested positive for cuba

90 i waved you and i prayed that they will make a quick and full recovery this is not a matter of politics it's a bracey reminder to all of us that we have to take this virus seriously so trumps infection marks a devastating blow to his re-election bid u.s. health authorities say people must self isolate for 10 days after a positive test that brings us up to october the 11th but before that in 5 days his vice president mike pence is set to debate his democratic rival tamala harris pence has tested negative it's unclear whether he'll also self isolates president trump who is now in hospital could miss the 2nd presidential debate in 13 days and his 3rd face off with joe biden that's a week later on october 22nd we are of course just $32.00 days out from the big day the election on november 3rd so let's bring in richard goodstein he's joining us from old bridge new jersey he's a democratic political consultant and former bill clinton and al gore adviser

thanks very much for your time with us. weigh in for a 2nd on the day's developments and what do you make of everything that's happened . look. this is put in very bold relief that this q. campaign for the duration is going to be all about the handling and frankly mishandling of this virus i know president trump had been hoping that the focus was going to be on the economy which frankly is not in very good shape but it's a lot better relatively speaking than the virus the fact that the united states has had now 210000 people die from the corona virus as you've heard 4 percent of the world's population over 20 percent of the world deaths. i think again that people feel personally. hopeful that the president will get through this but this cannot be seen as something that works to his favor

because he brought this on himself by mocking the a mandate for masks by having massive crowds in front of him thousands of people shoulder to shoulder and i and i might contrast the decency that joe biden has displayed contrast 4 years ago when hillary clinton got pneumonia and president trump made fun of her because she momentarily collapsed after an event in the blazing heat in new york just 4 years ago i think it's that decency that joe biden displayed and try to display that debate earlier this week and frankly the indecency that donald trump displayed in the debate about before now biden joe biden i mean why does he think that it's safe to go outs right now we see him holding in person campaigns when we know that the incubation period of this virus

could still be a few days he has tested negative yes but there is still an incubation period and joe biden is out on a bounce. well he's out and about safely i mean again the contrast is donald trump who's had all these events on the back lawn of the white house at the republican convention this event or the supreme court nominee all these rallies he's out in the cities he's me. and joe biden is wearing a mask and keeping a distance i mean just as a scientific matter joe biden is not capable even if he has the sickness of transmitting it because he's keeping a different he's following what the scientists have directed so that's the job i'm is not doing this for a fact but because he has consistently worn mask he's been an example to the american public of what you should do and unfortunately donald trump is now an example of if you don't do it right what could happen to you what do you think is

going to happen with the election a lot of questions obviously over the impact of the election but also many wandering can this delay the election you know you know look 1st of all donald trump went into this debate on tuesday night at an almost historic deficit for an incumbent president joe biden is running well ahead of him as of today the there is no provision in the constitution for delaying the election none. right but this is their iraq's foreign territory unprecedented times having so so the republican party has to decide if donald trump cannot stand for reelection the republican party presumably might have some provisions to find somebody else who will on very very short notice but that's not i mean millions of people have already voted. is name is on the ballot so i understand in some people's minds well

it would be only fair no it's just not how the american system works so i think this election is going to be held i mean election day to remember a 3rd but again as you know in many many states early voting has started and millions of people have voted already to this day so that's not going to have a right so we thank you very much richard goodstein for joining us from new jersey thanks my pleasure thank you here with al jazeera coming up in a moment. into the fire ban on protesters and girls over the gang rape and murder off 2 women.

hello again the headlines on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has been moved to a military medical center for treatment a day after he in the 1st lady tested positive for corona virus he'll be cared for in a special suite for the next few days the white house says it's out of an abundance of caution. trump posted a video message on twitter thanking people for their support and he's doing very well president's medical team says he's having mild symptoms and has been given an experimental antibody cocktail meanwhile the u.s. democratic presidential nominee joe biden says trump's infection is a reminder of how serious the pandemic is us donald and melania trump well and said he would withdraw negative campaign ads about the president's. the world health

organization's chief says he wishes both the u.s. president on the 1st lady a speedy recovery overnight we heard that the president of the united states of america do not and 1st lady milena term tested positive for cope with 19 i want to start today by wishing them bows a fool and swift recovery. with them donald trump is not the 1st world leader to contract the virus brazil's president or your boss an arrow tested positive back in july and the british prime minister boris johnson was moved to an intensive care unit in april after he contract a coronavirus he's tweeted to west trump and his wife a speedy recovery lets him baba has more from london. i think we all want to send best wishes to the president and the 1st lady and i've done that this morning as

you can imagine and i'm sure that they'll both stage a very strong recovery british prime minister boris johnson was one of the 1st world leaders to send a message of support on friday one that was informed no doubt by personal experience earlier this year i was at a hospital the other night where i think there are a few there are actually if you create a virus of patients like shook hands with everybody that admission in march attracted criticism for sending a dangerous message just weeks later soon after imposing a national lockdown the prime minister announced he tested positive for covered 19 and would be isolating i developed my old symptoms all the coronavirus. he carried on working appearing outside 10 downing street for the weekly applause for health workers and looking on well he extended his self isolation then 9 days after testing positive he was admitted to this london hospital his colleagues insisting he was in good spirits and leading the government but 24 hours later the shock news was he'd been taken into an intensive care unit he spent 3 nights there he was

never on a ventilator but after ending his stay in hospital he said medical staff had saved his life after returning to work johnson who's 56 said he'd been way overweight before contracting the virus he started a personal fitness regime and a national anti obesity initiative. his reaction stands in sharp contrast to another leader who contract coronavirus brazilian president. from the start of the pandemic the 65 year old consistently downplayed how dangerous the virus was covered for i think what i mean are the this is him in march around the same time boris johnson was testing positive saying if he were infected it wouldn't bother him as it would only feel like a slight cold in july he did test positive but even after getting the all clear weeks later he continued to show disdain for mask wearing and social distancing. this week boris johnson was asked directly whether he'd fully recovered his idiomatic response suggested he felt better than ever i'm fitter than i was before

i may it may it may irritate you to know i have to do that to the butchers dog of frank's basically to losing weight but he also accepted that so-called long covert which is left thousands of people in the u.k. with serious problems months after constructing the virus clearly exists a reminder that should be recovering can never be taken for granted. al-jazeera now a 2nd republican senator who attended a supreme court nomination ceremony at the white house last week us test the positives north carolina's thom tillis and utah senator mike lee are both members of the senate judiciary committee and both were at the nomination ceremony for amy coney barrett last saturday the senate minority leader chuck schumer says it's irresponsible and dangerous to move ahead with her confirmation hearing armenia says it's ready to work with mediators to re-establish a ceasefire nagorno-karabakh 6 days of fighting between armenia and azerbaijan

forces over the disputed region has killed dozens of troops and a number of civilians are not smith is in nagorno-karabakh where he visited towns and villages in the firing line of as a roof forces. it's the safest place in town but everyone here is scared for 5 days the women and children of matteucci have been hiding in the town's bomb shelters not that they have gone but it is and i've been here 6 days how should we feel my sons are on the front line sometimes he managed to talk to them we're waiting for peace and for victory and for sons to return. throughout the night or when the air raid siren goes off this is where people run for cover. aboveground martinis largely abandoned the 1st mortars hit on sunday that's when fighting flared again between azerbaijan and the self-governing armenian enclave of nagorno-karabakh is the most serious confrontation since a ceasefire ended

a war in 1904 that killed nearly 30000 military personnel these rockets landed just short of march to the art school and you can see the extent of the devastation there this is right in the center. in this town not far from the front line between azerbaijan and armenia has been hit regularly since sunday by as air force. what i like that's my larger of the or i'm lucky my head didn't blow off resnick background tells us. you know hit him and shattered his shop and home as he sat down for lunch ross make is a veteran of the 1st war here which broke out when armenian majority karabakh broke away from azerbaijan during the breakup of the soviet union. you're bottom of we survived somehow we found some of it it's enough what are we going to do i'm staying because everything i own is in the house and i want to look after it all.

towns and villages all along the border with azerbaijan there in the firing line no one was home when this cluster of 4 homes was blown apart. myrtle knows that this is our village our home or should i go my children ask me why are you walking out in the village i say if i hear the sound of the bomb it's best if it hits me i won't even know it why should i be frightened and over this turkish animal. the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan say there's no we mediate likelihood of talks so they'll be more of this. and for those waiting for news of their sons and husbands plenty to worry about. but it's made out 0 mark to me in nagorno-karabakh. 0 sin and cos of all those folks who azerbaijan's presidents and back who about the conflicts. at the 4 show moment his forces are in

a battle over a disputed region azerbaijan's presence in how mali ever put the blame squarely on our minya the main reason is that i mean you're doesn't want peace they want to keep our lands on the corporation for ever they don't want to change the status quo and this is a reason why i lasted so long because otherwise if i mean it demonstrated with a real the conflict would've been resolved many years ago. the battle is not only in the field but it's also being felt in the media and elsewhere both iranian as our bridge accuse each other of hiring foreign mercenaries to fight in a car about but the president denied any foreign involvement and that turkey shot down an armenian fighter jet this is fake news absolutely is this a fake news as a says a turkish if 16 shot down 285225 had an accident but they say they have

evidence to present where is evidence i think armenians control mcgurn a car of aa but many in prime minister in the quote by shinya has now gone further and said. it's part of armenian soil while president accused their mania of causing this latest round of fighting. you really look at what our media did after the so-called revolution. during the last 2 years and were very clear we will see that they were always provoking us and they were aiming at starting a new war as the reason is to disrupt negotiations completely the conflict between us our bridge on and our mania doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon both sides have preconditions on any possible negotiations the dynamics of their internal

politics are also of a concern. as are big john has vowed to retain what it considers siri territory and say it's ready to destroy any threats coming from our main in soil there are many in government ses it's ready to work with mediators but it warns any aggression towards not go in a car or a bar will receive every salutes response see namco solo al-jazeera but as our beach um you can watch that full interview with us or resigns president ilham aliyev on talk to al-jazeera on saturday at 0430 g.m.t. and will also air an interview with the armenian prime minister nicola pasha me on on sunday at 830 g.m.t. . people in india are defying a protest ban in the state of our protests following the recent gang rape and death of 2 women from the marginalised dallas community cases have rigged knighted a national debate on sexual violence and

a discriminatory caste system involving both citizens and politicians so hierarchs reports was it was an emergency lockdown and a ban on protests haven't stopped people from gathering at this village in india's northern states of it's a pradesh this is where a 19 year old one of 2 women from the marginalised dunnit community was gang raped recently resulting in her death was scuffles broke out between opposition politicians and the police i'm not gathered there are gonna die or jock when we were going to meet the doll it family they didn't let us go this policewoman pulled my blouse and beat one of our legislators with a baton she fell down. the 2nd victim was a 22 year old who died on her way to the hospital and she was day the same day as the 19 year old their cases have caused a national public outcry. was a protest is

a blaming the government police and what they say is a deeply entrenched discriminatory cost system for what happened to minority women . while the suspects from an optical scheme unity are in custody the police chief on thursday ruled out rape allegations in the case of the 1st victim. it was clearly stated in the report of the forensic science department that the samples that were collected didn't show any trace of sperm this makes it clear that some people used this case to try to start casting sions and the state was a claim refuted by forensic experts in the victims' families who accuse the police of destroying evidence and cremating the body of 19 year old victim without her family's permission. facing heavy criticism the government has promised to fast track the cases it's human rights activists and the opposition blame it for

allowing police to use excessive force against protesters including the detention of congress party leader raul gandhi and his sister on thursday. culpability is also completely asserted me it's not in the public domain if it's happening it's happening only in the level of the department and that doesn't build public trust it would build public trust of the police reported to the public this is why we have to take the action that we take. student pritish reid says police in delhi mistreated him during a protest on wednesday. bullis it seems you know he's functioning with complete immunity there is really don't care if you file cases they really don't care if the media covers i personally feel that you know believe he is on the word of becoming another don when kashmir where you basically waste your binion then you are welcome to the police station or the jeep. sexual violence against

women was at the center of widespread anger and nationwide protests in 2012 that led to changes in the little. potato years later women here still face a significant risk of sexual assault according to the government's own national crime records bureau a woman is raped in india every 15 minutes set aside at al jazeera. hello again the headlines on al-jazeera the us president all trampas are moved to a military medical center for treatment a day after he won the 1st lady tested positive for corona virus they'll be cared for in a special suite for the next few days the white house says it's out of an abundance of caution. i want to thank everybody for the tremendous support i'm going to walter reed hospital i think i'm doing very well.
