this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. the u.s. president's election rival joe biden withdraws that negative about trump and urges people to wear masks. after 6 days of fighting armies government says it's ready to discuss a cease fire and they're going to cut about. u.s. president donald trump has been moved to a military medical center for treatment 24 hours after testing positive for corona virus white house officials say trump will be cared for in a special suite at the walter reed medical facility for the next few days earlier trump's doctor said he was fatigued but in good spirits and was being treated with an experimental antibody cocktail it's also reported that he has developed a mild fever. oh what

a thing everybody for the tremendous support i'm going to walter reed hospital i think i'm doing very well but we're going to make sure the things work the 1st lady is doing very well so would thank you very much appreciated i will never forget thank you alan fischer is at the white house and looks at how offensive 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 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 he's 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. democratic presidential nominee joe biden is campaigning in the swing state of michigan he says his team will remove all negative ads about trump and that the president's infection is a reminder of how serious the pandemic is. like you start by acknowledging you which i'm sure all you do as well should be my prayers for the health and safety of the 1st lady president proves the united states after they tested positive for crude 90 i worry that you and i pray that they will make a quick and full recovery this is not a matter of politics it's a bracing reminder to all of us who have to take those wires seriously. former white house counselor kellyanne conway has also tested positive for codeine same conway was amongst those whose who attended the supreme court nomination ceremony

for a meet tony barrett at the white house on saturday at least 3 others who were there including 2 republican senate says on the judiciary committee i've also tested positive senate minority leader chuck schumer says it's irresponsible and dangerous to move ahead with this confirmation hearing mike hanna has more from the walter reed national military medical center where trump has been admitted to. well we've had one question answered 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 being 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. so it could happen if trump gets too sick to perform his presidential duties he could temporarily transfer power to the vice president mike pence under the 25th amendment of the u.s. constitution pence's tested negative for the virus but if he falls ill as well the

baton is how asked to nancy pelosi the senior democrats who is the speaker of the house of representatives if trump dies or is too sick to stand in the election the republican party will need to choose a new no me but early voting has already started and his name might still stay on the ballot. robinson woodburn's is an assistant professor in the department of political science at howard university he joins us now from washington d.c. robinson just talk us through the process to actually nominate the next person and line this is in showing in the constitution signs that yes the 25th amendment to the united states constitution specifies the method of succession should the president become incapacitated and there are 2 main paths one is the 3rd section which allows voluntary succession whereby the president would signal that he is

incapacitated and unable to perform the duties of his office he would then handoff to the vice president my pants the role of the presidency and my pants would service acting president in kill donald trump reassumed the office of the presidency the 2nd path is set out under section 4 should the president become incapacitated unexpectedly without being able to prearrange the transfer of power a simple majority of his cabinet plus mike pence could vote to transfer power to mike pence to serve as acting president this situation has never occurred before but the prior situation under section 3 has happened 3 times before under 2 presidents undergoing routine medical examinations for which they had to be anesthetized it's more likely that if we saw the president sufficiently incapacitated we'd see an article section 3 transition of power prearranged such

that my penciled service acting president until the president was well enough to resume his duties but is there a situation where things could drastically change could the democrats for example challenge this in the supreme court if they didn't want mike pence to be the v.p. or is it all very sense to. 25th amendment is pretty much set in stone it's backed by the 20th amendment the 20th amendment was a similar amendment as well as a 1947 statute the presidential succession act and there's not a lot of dispute in terms of how this would what work now there would be less president if their presidents cabinet tried to replace him with out his consent under an involuntary transition that might be subject to a court challenge but that's a lot less likely the president would probably handoff to his vice president mike

pence willingly and there's not a lot of ground for challenge and that before the supreme court the other thing that people are discussing on twitter and social media and on various talk shows across the world is whether the actual election could get to spoiler now as i understand it november 3rd is a hard date right yes the constitution specifies the date of a lecture in and the date by which the electors who pick the united states president based on the vote of the state from which those electors come the date by which those electors have to submit their ballots there's not a lot of room statutorily or constitutionally to move the date of the united states elections and there's never been a case in which a presidential election or midterm election date was effectively moved for reasons like this robeson would woodburn's thank you very much thank you president donald trump's coded 19 diagnosis as appended the already to mulch us

race for the white house the potential fallout remains unclear and no polling has yet been done to gauge votes his reactions but there are likely to be radical changes to the remainder of the campaign as well brunell's revolts. with the president hospitalized and facing a period of treatment and quarantine all trump campaign events are now on hold it's unclear if the next presidential debate scheduled for october 15th will go ahead. trump's last rally before the diagnosis was in minnesota on wednesday as usual he did not wear a mask and neither did many of his supporters trump had planned rallies in florida wisconsin and arizona over the next several days from campaign officials say the president's absence from the campaign trail is not particularly important. in addition to. the british wanat. trumps infection also undercuts one of his

central themes in these final days before the election which is that the pandemic is waning even though more than 207000 americans have died from it the end of the pandemic is in sight and next year will be one of the greatest years in the history of our country some voters may wonder if since the president could not keep himself or his wife safe from the pandemic he can keep the country safe from it it's definitely ironic to have them here that is best thing that her legacy is making fun of joe biden their way and then last week he said that kind of it hurts the impacts now line so we don't wish any ill will to the president but it's not at all surprising given direction we just hope that this will cause a change in the direction of his leadership and that he will curtail some of the activities like really the campaign rallies very substantially. open and spreading

that search around after testing negative for covert 19 democratic nominee joe biden continued his campaign and flew to michigan he expressed concern for trump and the 1st lady this is not a man. politics it's a bracey reminder to all of us that we have to take those wires seriously biden's events are generally small and strictly adhere to virus control recommendations including mask wearing and distancing in tuesday's debate trump mocked biden for wearing masks and questioned his intelligence because you know what there's nothing smart about now is caution seems to be the smarter approach robert oulds al-jazeera . show is a primary care doctor he says trump's medical team will focus on monitoring his vitals and major organ systems we know that kobe had 19 in particular can attack the kidneys and obviously attacks the lungs it's not clear because this

administration historically has been very open about sharing any medical information with regards to the president and they've continued that trend with this current crisis and that we know very little about what he's experience and other than that he has a local great bieber and is experiencing some but he i can tell you that earlier today i watched online his address to the nation in regards to announcing that he has the diagnosis and that he appreciated all the well wishes and what i couldn't help but notice during that address was that his mouth remained open through the entire address which to me suggests that he was having trouble getting enough oxygen and so i think this is going to be a very interesting night for the president and for the nation and in fact for the world because so much of what is happening is not clear yet. still ahead on al-jazeera. crowds in india defy

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 said he's doing very well the president's medical team says he's having mild symptoms and has been given an experimental antibody called. says it's ready to work with mediators to reestablish a ceasefire in the going to cut about 6 days of fighting between armenia and azerbaijan forces over the disputed region has killed dozens of troops and a number of civilians but it's myth is in nevada where he visited towns and villages in the firing line of azeri 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 all of that is gone but it is and i've been here 6 days how should we feel my sons are on the frontline sometimes he managed to talk

to them we're waiting for peace and for a victory and for sons to return. throughout the night or when the air raid siren goes off this is where people run for cover. above ground martini's 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 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 the followers are of well 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 raz 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. your bottom line we survived somehow we found some bread 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 and then we all know 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 al-jazeera toony in nagorno-karabakh. al-jazeera center because only spoke to me as a result as president and back about the conflict. at the 1st 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 your 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 it would have real the conflict would have 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. but the president denied any foreign involvement and that turkey shot down an arminian fighter jet this is fake news absolutely this a fake news as a says a turkish if 16 shot down 25 to 25 had an accident but they say they have evidence to present where is evidence i think armenians control mcgurn a car of all but many and prime minister in the quote has now gone further and said . it's part of armenian soil while the president accused their mania of causing this latest round of fighting. really look at what i mean it 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 a reason 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 there be john has vowed to retain what it considers very territory and say it's ready to destroy any threats coming from our main in soil the armenian government say's it's ready to work with mediators but it warns any aggression towards not go in a car bomb will receive every salutes response see namco solo al-jazeera but. you can watch the full interview with as

. while the suspects from an opera cost community are in custody the police chief on thursday ruled out rape allegations in the case of the 1st victim just. 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 stir cast tensions in 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 its human rights activists and the opposition blame it for allowing police to use excessive force against protesters including the detention of congress party leader a whole gandhi and his sister on thursday. accountability is also completely

certainly 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 if the police reported to the public this is why we had to take the action that we take. student pritish reid says police in delhi mistreated him during a protest on wednesday. police it seems you know is functioning with complete immunity there is really don't care if you file cases there really don't care if the media covers i personally feel that you know delhi is on the words of becoming another don when kashmir where you basically waste your democratic opinion and you are welcome to the police station or the jail. 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
