7:03 am
complications from covert 19 hughes in his mid seventy's and overweight we have the way for the next few days. or for some people get really sick within hours you know some people don't get sick until we get in so we have the reading be carefully observing the situation trampas often chosen not to wear a mask including at his own rallies where many of his supporters reject the science behind the idea. his team including family members went mosque at the tuesday debate trump even ridiculed democratic candidate joe biden for wearing a mosque as recommended by virtually all public health experts i don't wear mesh like him every time you see he's going to miss he could be speaking 200 feet away from him he shows up with the biggest mask i've ever seen thanks especially in the

oval where the president may have become infected have also turned to a ceremony in on off supreme court nominee amy coney beret which took place in the white house rose garden last saturday several people who attended that largely mosque free event have since tested positive house speaker nancy pelosi center best wishes to the president but said this was a lesson to be learnt. this is tragic it's very sad but it also is something that again going into crowds unmasked and all the rest the 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 white house doctor has confirmed the president received one dose of an experimental drug regeneration it has not been through final clinical trials and was administered on what is called
7:05 am
a compassionate use basis this is the only way a drug and not approved by the f.d.a. can be administered to a patient who is not part of a clinical trial my kind of al-jazeera but. let's get more with rosen jordan in virginia roseland obviously this is an experimental drug so all eyes are on walter reed medical hospital keyes bring us up to date with the latest. well the plainest is that the u.s. president donald trump has now begun receiving medicine that is also of an experimental nature ramdass of beer you may have heard much of this drug development earlier in the year like the drug from or general and this drug has not been approved by the food and drug administration for it ministration to any person with that but we would expect that given the statement released by the white house
7:06 am
in the last 15 minutes that this company has also received an emergency dispensation from the federal government so that this drug can be given to the president it's ministered via an intravenous injection which may and he's expected to get more than one dose of the ram disappear so he's now receiving 2 experimental drugs for the treatment of 19 the president in the past half hour has also issued a tweet i'll read it because it's very short going well i think thank you to all and in large letters or capital letters the word love well rosalynn we're hearing a lot about an event at the rose garden which has been described as being a super spread event what will he tell us about that. well paul that designation
7:07 am
has not been confirmed there seems to be more and more circumstantial evidence that the ceremony in the rose garden a week ago today in which other president introduced his nominee to replace ruth bader ginsburg on the supreme court amy barrett it seems as if many people who were there at least were exposed to someone who was infected with the virus or has come down with the virus and we now know that the president's former senior adviser telling and calm way announced late on friday night that she has been diagnosed with kobe at 192 u.s. senators. tell me tell us of north carolina and mike lee of utah 2 men who would be sitting on the senate judiciary committee considering this supreme court nomination have also tested positive and there is growing concern that because
7:08 am
people at the event largely were not sitting far away from each other or wearing face masks that more people could be coming down and die most with coke at 19 in the coming days so certainly even though there's been no formal announcement from the white house that people should be getting themselves checked out or watching out for sometimes it's fair to say that this is in fact happening bet people are becoming alarmed about their attendance at this event and i shouldn't forget 3 reporters who were out the white house over the weekend including one who was covering that nomination ceremony have also been diagnosed with the virus residential in the live from virginia democratic presidential nominee joe biden 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. i like to start by acknowledging which
7:09 am
i'm sure all of you do as well sending my prayers for the health and safety of the 1st lady and president because united states after they tested positive for covert 90 my wife jill and i pray that they'll make a quick and full recovery this is not a matter of politics it's a bracing reminder to all of us that we have to take this virus seriously. said allah is a senior at the johns hopkins a sense have felt security he says the current developments on calls for a low. i think this is an unfortunate turn of events but it is something that we predicted would likely happen this virus does not respect borders it doesn't respect whether or not you're a rote leader and the testing policies at the white house are we're never going to be enough because we've seen clusters of cases at the white house even before this current cluster that's happened the president is somebody that is at high risk for severe complications and so it's not surprising that you see it in experimental
7:10 am
therapy as well as been hospitalized preemptively it's not surprising that a 74 year old would have an acceleration of symptoms that would prompt hospitalization especially when you have the access to health care that the president does so if you're having a fever if you're starting to feel more fatigued there is going to be people that are on the side of caution and hospitalized and individual if they have that option so that's likely what separator and any time a 74 year old has covered we have to have a low threshold for using hospital resources the drug is a it's a cocktail in antibodies made by the company regenerative and we've seen some very promising data that this may be something that helps individuals not have a severe course of illness and they've been using it in out patients in a clinical trial so to me it's something that i think was the quick a quick thing to grab off of the shelf to help the president because it was something that had some data and it was available on compassionate use we we don't know exactly how well this is going to work we're still doing clinical trials and
7:11 am
it's important for those clinical trials to continue but it's not surprising to me again that you see the president get this type of therapy because they are thinking about using this more broadly if clinical trial support it to keep people out of the hospital it's hard to say because some people in that age group do recover pretty quickly but there are some that have lingering symptoms and take some time to get back to their full level of activities it all depends upon what happens in the next week or so to see how severe the symptoms get for the president and if any of the therapy happen effect but i do think that there is going to be a recovery period that's going to probably be at least a week or 2 that you will see him be unable to really return to a same level of activity but hopefully we won't see any kind of severe complications of requiring an i.c.u. for example or anything like that. president donald trump's code 19 diagnosis has appended the already tumultuous race for the white house the potential political fallout remains unclear and no polling has been done to gauge voters reactions but there are likely to be radical changes to the remainder of the campaign his robe
7:12 am
runnels reports. 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 the british way and editions trumps infection also undercuts one of his central themes in these final days before the election which is that the pandemic is waning
7:13 am
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 have their that is best thing that her legacy is making fun of joe biden around 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 where essentially michael ovitz and spreading the search around after testing negative for covert 19 democratic nominee joe biden continued his campaign and flew to michigan he expressed concern for
7:14 am
trump and the 1st lady this is not a man. politics it's a bracing reminder to all of us that we have to take this virus seriously biden's events are generally small and strictly adhered to virus control recommendations including mask wearing and distancing in tuesday's debate mocked biden for wearing masks and questioned his intelligence because you know what and there's nothing smart about now biden's caution seems to be the smarter approach robert oulds al-jazeera. still ahead on al-jazeera. crowds in india defy a ban on protesters i need grows over the gang rape and murder of 2 women. why critics say the french president's plan to strengthen secularism will end up stigmatizing muslims.

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 of. 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 followers are of the well i'm lucky my head didn't blow off russ make background tells us. and i'll hit him and a shot at 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. your bottom line we
