spain's capital despite a legal challenge. here as president donald trump is resting in a military hospital a day off to testing positive for kovan 19 doctors say he had a fever and was fatigued before being admitted here to the walter reed national military medical center on friday afternoon just gone 4 am there and the most recent update from the white house was that the 74 year old was not needing supplementary oxygen to help him breathe but he has been given 2 experimental drugs will be getting more on those in just a moment john tweeted from hospital that he was going well i think and he thank supporters from maryland mike hanna reports. dressed in

a suit and wearing a mask president trump walked to marine one on assisted minutes before he tweeted out this 5000 to thank everybody for the tremendous support i'm moving to want to read or think. but we're going to make sure of the things we're the 1st lady is doing. so we're thank you very much very appreciative. 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 the president on tuesday he tested negative for the virus on friday and sent his best wishes to eating jill and 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 with 19 hughes in his mid seventy's and overweight we have to wait for the next 2 days. or for some people get really sick within hours but you know some people don't get sick until week after and so we have to really be carefully observing the situation trump is 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 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 him he shows up with the biggest

mask of ever seen thanks especially in the oval where the president may have become infected have also turned to a ceremony in honor of supreme court nominee amy coney beret which took place in the white house rose garden last saturday several people who attended that largely vast 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 change it is very sad but it also is something dead again 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 we're general on

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 i go for more on this let's talk to simon clark he's an associate professor in setting up microbiology at the university of reading and joins us by skype from the u.k. good to have a have you with us explain to us what these experimental drugs the president is taking are. well as i understand it he's taken with general and given reject her all that were written this is there now that you 2 quite different things were general and as i understand it it's an activity which will can be administered to help the immune system block the virus or to mop it up and destroy it road as if

there is a viral drug that interferes with the virus's life cycle and stops it from reproducing so really it's a sort of jewel approach where the doctors are trying to stimulate a presidency immune system to block and destroy the virus and administer a drug or not so that's it drugs which should stop it from replicating ok so what symptoms did these drugs that means taking these drugs suggest that the president has. well regenerate i don't know because that's very experimental rendez of it is admit is that all the data so far shows that if it shortens people since i'm in the u.k. at least that is where i live people have to be doing it in hospital not so much in the community and it shortened their state in hospital so it's given to people as being given the u.k.

to people who aren't well but not at the serious stages of the illness because we don't think it has an effect on them it doesn't save the most seriously ill people it shortens the symptoms of that sort of middle ground of people who need to be in hospital but are not so serious that they need to be intensive care ok well when we hear though the word experimental that doesn't change some sort of concern what does that mean does that mean that we don't know the side effects that we mean doesn't that mean that we don't know how effective it's going to be what is experimental actually mean sure i mean all drugs are experimental at some point because they're all new we don't know how they work so we have to find out so even the best most successful drugs of beta experimental some point it's not necessarily anything to be worried about i think it's highly unlikely that they would administer something that they thought was unsafe to present the united states

throughout the trials princess' they begin to build up a picture of the effectiveness and the safety of any new compound any new drug and they will already have a pretty good idea that this one isn't going to cause the president problems and then they need to know i mean that mystery these types of antibodies to people it couldn't cure them it can help them recover but it's not without risk if it's not done properly ok if they don't to at what the treatments might be available to the president. well luck is on how it progresses i mean i suspect they'll just want to manage the. uk try and compensate for the effects on the physiology that's really great can't we are getting drugs for this but they're coming home stream bit by bit they're actually coming straight quite quickly compared to what we normally get but that's because there's such

a moment ok simon clark many thanks taking time to join us from reading in the u.k. . now looking more at the global picture of the pandemic the number of people in india who have died from the corona virus has passed 100000 making it the 3rd highest in the world after the u.s. and brazil as only 10 percent of global deaths due to cave in 19 september has been india's worst month the daily cases and fatalities outstripping those in any other country but it has the highest number of recovered patients in the world as well. other news now in a 7th day of fierce fighting is underway between military forces from armenia and azerbaijan both sides are reporting civilian deaths and accusing each other of shelling populated areas in the contested nagorno-karabakh region armenia released video which can't be verified said to show a very destruction in the largest city sepang occurred by johns as armenian forces

the now it's how the pushing over towards the austrian alps so making its way further east as we can see that main circulation that's still pretty much in evidence some more wet and windy weather across the western side if you have all enjoying the party then more heavy rain coming in at this stage wetter weather to into northern areas of italy for much of the med it is generally try and find as is the case across northern africa over there will be some showers across the northwest at of course there's heavy showers for a good part of west africa. but . of all my friends and coworkers who were detained i have to. one survived they were waiting for news of the men from was only one of which i saw a boy killed in his father's arms i saw a man killed next to his son i have only once in my life seen man scared to death one of the bosnian wars darkest secrets bosnia the count on

al-jazeera. hello again you're watching al-jazeera has reminder of our top stories this hour u.s. president donald trump has been moved to a military medical center where he's being treated for covert 19 white house says the president is doing very well. president tom does not require any supplemental oxygen but he has been given to experimental drugs one of them is run doesn't care which has been shown to shorten coronavirus patients hospital stays. and the 7th day of fierce fighting is underway between military forces from armenia and

azerbaijan both sides are reporting civilian deaths and accusing the other of shelling populated areas in the contested nagorno-karabakh region. don't charms covered 1000 diagnosis has up ended the race for the white house a 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 well brunell's 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 bridgeway 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 that i'm sure that the best thing that earlier this week is making fun of joe biden away and then last week he said that the big birds 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 he's essentially being. 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 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 tro mocked by 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 . had to matinées as

a professor of political science at cypress college in california he says the president's move to walter reed is significant and it's important to know what plans are in place for any transfer of power. it's the october surprise it's a horrendous situation and very critical obviously it depends really crucially right now what happens the next couple of days or even a few hours from now the fact these will be transferred to walter reed is a major development he could have been quarantined in the white house and wait it out there but there's something else that's going on here now it could be they're just taking to work a very cautious about anybody's president but still you have to take these things very seriously and look at what is being put in place by the administration to make sure there's a smooth transition you know the president stays in office smoothly and can carry out his work in his duties or a transition to the vice president to call him to question the 25th amendment there's a provision in there for it to do to that very right now we have to wait and see just for a little bit more well there are 2 ways to go in there the president when president

reagan had to go in for surgery he signed a statement a letter saying that he's turning over power to vice president george w. bush for 8 hours and then he would resume it after that and it worked out pretty smoothly that's what we do with the president voluntarily signs a statement other ways when the president isn't capacity it is in very clearly that he is the vice president has a lead on that and call a cabinet together and then the cabinet has to vote by majority vote to proceed to transfer power to the vice president and then when that happens the president can challenge it is available of you will do that he can challenge it then he goes to congress to be or upon by a 2 thirds majority the house to transfer the power over so there are couple of options here it all depends on how president trump comes through right now as far as physical health goes and we all do wish him well use the head of the country right now the state we need someone in the stability at this point america. spain's capital is limiting who can leave all and the city is part of a new lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus their central government insists

the measures are necessary because of a recent spike in the number of infections but it's facing opposition from regional officials in the madrid region who say the shutdown will cause chaos uncertainty and unrest and the new restrictions residents in the city will not be allowed to leave the area and as they have to make an essential journey spain has seen a recent surge in corona virus to harare joins us live now from madrid samantha tell us more about these restrictions and how they're inhibiting people's movements there. yes as you mentioned the situation in spain has been changing rapidly in the last 2 weeks where we've seen a huge increase in the number of on of artists cases that has forced spanish government to bring in new measures to contain the spread of the virus the critic used for these new restrictions will affect areas that have reduced shoot over $500.00 cases of koran a virus in the last 2 weeks per 100000 inhabitants on whether intensive care units

deployed $700.00 police national police officers to monitor and control these movements all these measures and restrictions will be will be measured in a weekly basis and once. called situation is better it gets better spanish government will decide to reopen ok but in saying because the madrid authorities are challenging the central government in course over these restrictions so will the rules actually be and for. well guess as you mentioned the region in madrid regionals government has filed all these or they're the is this health ministry order that was voted but all the regions of. them by a minority sorry not an absolute minority and they have filed it in the high supreme court and it will take a few days for them to make a decision so until then despite the there with. these new measures and

restrictions are already implemented are put in place they won't be able to find people moving around the argument of the nash of the regional government is that this is course a lot of cows and this is going to ruin moderates region economy as just an example they say that they would meet this would mean $750000000.00 euros lost and $18000.00 job losses per week to her joining us live from madrid thanks very much martin. now u.s. panel of experts is urging the white house to join the world health organization lead coronavirus vaccine program kovacs was set up to ensure equal global distribution of any potential vaccine drug administration refuses to take pause because of the w.h.o. his involvement but as the experts say the u.s. should be playing a leadership role in the program as well as committing a proportion of any u.s. vaccine to global 'd availability. human rights groups say they're
