so thank you very much appreciated. they are. here i put the ball to retail and once again walked unassisted to a waiting car on his way to a special suite to the hospital where his staff say he will continue to work for the next few days democratic challenger joe biden stood on the same stage as a president on tuesday he tested negative for the virus on friday and sent his best wishes to eating children i send our thoughts to president trump and 1st lady melania trump for a swift recovery we will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family trump has several risk factors that put him in danger of complications from cope at 19 hughes in his mid seventy's and overweight we have to

wait for the next 2 days. you know for some people get really sick within hours but you know some people don't get sick until week after and still we have to really 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 masculists 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 miss 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 chad it is very sad but it also is something dead again who is going into crowds unmasked and all the rest the sort of a brazen indication 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 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 those don't. as an internist or primary care doctor and he joins us now from phoenix in arizona not to show off of it is an experimental drug has not been approved by the u.s. food and drug administration what's the risk for the president well let's be clear there are now 2 experimental drugs that the president has been the recipient of earlier today he got the public plan public moral antibody infusion which is made by a company called regeneration and then i've learned through news media outlets that he has later in the day today also gotten around ramdass of beer which is it and you virally get made by a company called gilliatt in israel so he has now been given all the

experimental relatively experimental treatments. i find that concerning because i think trying to understand the severity of what's going on with the president you have to sort of read tea leaves because they're not being forthcoming with giving us real details regarding his condition when he developed the symptoms necessary the symptoms but we're hearing things like he's not having some difficulty with breathing which is a very concerning quite drastic eater in the progression of coded and he's already been given 2 treatments that ordinary citizens don't typically receive although the rest of the year is of billable now. to be used for specialized situations so you're concerned about the experimental nature of the treatment but in the coming days what signs what you should be looking out full when it comes to the president's health to try to get a gauge of how severe it actually is well so let's

unpack that a little bit with regards to the regeneration treatment that you received earlier. the fusion of the poly clonal antibodies that are derived from genetically mutated mice whose immune systems are identical to the human immune system and then they are not related with the virus causing colin $1000.00 sars will be to their antibodies are harvested and that infusion has been given to the president the clinical trials that i have reviewed with respect to that particular treatment indicate that the viral load that the amount of virus in the human post tends to build down maximally at about day 7 so even though he got the infusion today i don't think we can judge the response to it or the efficacy of it for a full week now the rem disappear that he got later today is an interesting antiviral in that it has not been shown to really reduce the progression of patients who develop

a more severe form of over 90 and the other monkey wrench with regards to the rest of the year is that it's peak efficacy or most efficient advocacy is only achieved if it's given very very early in the infection and without knowing the symptoms and because the information period can be anywhere from 3 days to 7 days i think it's not unlikely that the rem does appear is going to have a lot of benefit for the president now keep in mind he's 74 years old keep in mind he is morbidly obese despite the weight that he lists obliquely he's heavier than his stated weight and those are 2 major risk factors for a more severe progression of the co bit so this is a very very somber moment in american politics and in our leadership history because this is really unprecedented but also show you've just said that actually your slightly concerned about the efficiency of the efficacy of the red ecevit in

this case is there another experimental drug that they might try if this one doesn't look at these 2 in fact i want. well despite being the leader of the free world and arguably one of the most powerful men on the planet. this is a disease for which the options are limited we know that in patients who become more significantly ill end up in the i.c.u. sense setting that dexamethasone which is a steroid has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality i don't think he's yet a candidate or get some methods zone but in between there's not a lot that you can do other than supportive care of vitamin d. has some clinical utility both as a preventative and as a therapeutic agent but. you know 8 out of 10 americans who die from this particular virus who die from cope at 19 or over the age of 60 and so you

know it's not to say that the death rate is 80 percent that's not what i'm claiming but of the $200000.00 plus who have died in america thus far 80 percent of them were over the age of 60 so we know that age plays a critical role in the severity of the infection and mr trump our president is 74 years old he also has an additional risk factor that i'm aware of which is his morbid obesity and the 2 couple together make the likelihood of the progression of the underlying infection greater that's the great concern and despite his power and influence he has already utilized the 2 therapies that are cutting edge in fact that personally received today would not be available hardly to anyone else it is entirely still in clinical trials and so it's remarkable but for the fact that he's the president of the united states i don't think he would have been eligible for that there are adults to say thank you very much for your insights it's my pleasure

. president donald trump's covert 19 diagnosis has appended the already tumultuous race for the white house the potential political fallout remains unclear and no polling has yet been done to gauge voters' reactions but there are likely to be radical changes to the remainder of the campaign as rove runnels now 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 addition to. the british wanat 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 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 her 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 being. open and spreading itself 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 bracing reminder to all of us that we have to take those wires seriously biden's events are generally small and strictly adhered to virus control recommendations including mask wearing and distancing in tuesday's debate trial mocked biden for wearing masks and questioned his intelligence because you know what there's nothing smart about now biden's caution seems to be the smarter approach robert oulds al-jazeera the world health organization is chief says he wishes both the u.s. president and the 1st lady a speedy recovery over the night we heard that the president of the united states

of america do not try and 1st lady milan at 3 am tested positive for cocaine 19 i want to start today by wishing them bows a fool and swift recovery of prayers with them. still ahead on al-jazeera. and crowds in india defy a ban on protests as anger grows over the gang rape and murder of 3 women. why critics say the french president's plans to strengthen secularism will end up stigmatizing muslims. but. we've got some subtle changes in the weather across the middle east over the

next couple of days like a service lost a hazy sunshine and a a cloud in the sky but we have got some cloud up towards the caucasus so some showers certainly a possibility just around georgia or armenia pushing over towards the caspian sea and sliding down it's in northern parts of iran elsewhere it doesn't dry $38.00 celsius in doha falling back to around 35 degrees as we go on through sunday but for some we are still touching the 40 degree mark in kuwait and in baghdad on a more comfortable 2627 for jerusalem and for beirut want to shout across that western side of saudi arabia pushing down schools the western end of the yemen and plenty of showers across central parts of africa as per usual drive in the way further west with some big downpours coming back in across the democratic republic of congo central african republic pushing across towards a good bone and cameroon will see some well so whether they're over towards the somalia you could see a shower or 2 coming in here on saturday that could cause

a little bit of localized flooding a chance of wanted to showers still in place here want to say showers a possibility too into eastern areas of tanzania as for south africa showers to the south and east. but. i think. that's what we'll be. trying to dish in future after in fact in 22 passioned has been ratio between time and energy nation and with them the attention. because. of the feature not from the need to se chechnya it's.

your logic al-jazeera remind of our top stories this hour. u.s. president donald trump has been moved to a military medical center for treatment a day off today he and the 1st lady tested positive for corona virus the white house says the president isn't requiring supplemental oxygen. trump the president's medical team says he's having multiple times and has been given to experiment with drugs. meanwhile u.s. democratic presidential nominee joe biden says chomps infection is a reminder of how serious the pandemic is he wished donald trump. well and said he would withdraw negative campaign ads about president. armenia says it's ready to work with mediators to reestablish

a ceasefire and they're 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 smith is in no going to cut it back where he visited tells and villages in the firing line of a series 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 towns 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 front line 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 mob toonies 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 all 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. your bottom line we survive 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. 07 cause spoke to president mbeki

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 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 i remain you know it's 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 armenia did after so-called revolution. during the last 2 years and was 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 b. john has vowed to retain what it considers asiri territory and ses 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 buck you. air an interview with the armenian prime minister nicole passed me on on sunday at 830 g.m.t. . the global chemical weapons watchdog says it can't determine if toxic agents were used in attacks on 2 syrian towns the organization was investigating it banned poisons were used in aleppo in 2018 and set
