5:03 pm
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
5:04 pm
debate trump even ridiculed democratic candidate joe biden for wearing a mosque as recommended by virtually all public health experts i don't wear mess 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 socal 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 is going into crowds unmasked and all the rest the sort of a brazen in the taishan for something like this to happen it's sad that it did but
5:05 pm
nonetheless hopeful that it will be a transition to a saner approach to what this virus is all about. ok you know sort of my condo is in maryland let's talk about the politics of this 1st of all because we need to try and work out how both sides of the political divide are trying to adjust to what is really uncharted territory in many words. well that is both sides attempting to work out exactly how the course of the political process has changed to the election coming up in november but before i get into that drop if i could just mention we've just heard steps of the president's doctor will give a briefing at the top of the next hour with us in just under an hour's time so hopefully we will then get more information about president trance condition but to get back to the point of how this political process has impacted both parties both
5:06 pm
camps attempting now to find out what they are going to do in the weeks ahead at the short period of time before the election happens president trump based his campaign very largely on in person gatherings this is something he relishes in joe biden the other candidate most of the time held virtual meetings so in a way the democrats have really got an edge there they had a particular style of campaigning before this recent chain of events president trump's campaign will now have to consider what it is going to do one of the issues perhaps is he's going to have to buy more television advertising which is going to put a strain on the campaign coffers that are reportedly highly diminished so this all kind of factors that are coming in here in terms of the impact that this will have on the electoral process mike can you report you were talking about the fact that there is an increasing focus on that ceremony at the rose garden the white house for any connie chung's nominee for the supreme court that is a separate battle in many respects but of course it is tied up with with politics
5:07 pm
and this is clearly going to have some sort of impact in that do we have any indication about what is likely to happen with that nomination process. well that's a very important question because already democrats are saying that the whole process needs to be postponed among those people who were apparently infected at that rose garden announcement of the nomination of 2 senators who happened to be members of the judicial committee so that is 2 republicans who are supposed to adjudicate on the nomination of amy barrett and they will be in quarantine for the next few weeks and remembering that these judicial hearings are due to start on october the 12th now democrats are arguing very strongly that the whole nomination process has to be held off until after the election and perhaps until after a new administration is in place which would then come up with its own nominee for that vacancy to preen court justice decision republicans fighting back saying the
5:08 pm
process can carry on regardless of whether senators are there in person or not but the whole process can be virtue so so this is going to be an ongoing to and fro but i must just mention one other thing about that rose garden gathering rob and that is the white house has consistently been using a quick test it said auntie gen test results come back in some 15 minutes experts have been warning that although the results are quick it's an an invasive procedure it has a very confusing success rate some experts saying that it's 50 percent of the time it's giving false results now the white house has been using that as its testing standard throughout recent weeks now this is a problem because once again the number of people we're talking about 7 of them so far who have tested positive after that rose garden at the end call into question the entire testing process of the white house in the recent months mike thanks very
5:09 pm
much obviously we are going to be checking back in with you when we hear from president tom's doctor who as use mentioning is expected to provide an update on the president's condition at 11 am local time walter reed but for now mike thanks very much indeed. armenia and azerbaijan are accusing each other of shelling residential areas in the disputed. region fighting has continued into a 7th day or burn and since live for us in step. back now the armenian prime minister has been speaking what has he been saying. this was a rallying call to the armenian people really a very sort of pattern speech 7 or 8 minutes long and prime minister opinion said that if the army if the azerbaijanis had any strategic goal he says they haven't achieved it he says we are in some tough battles which we've enjoyed and now we are counterattacking he says in some directions some of the positions are difficult for
5:10 pm
us and in others we are we've contained the situation he goes on to finish by saying victory can be the only outcomes or rallying call and we know already that there has been continues to be very intensive fighting along this line of contact between azerbaijan and armenia and the army say that military losses now are 198 soldiers since this fighting broke out on sunday along with 14 civilians but to just bring us up to date with a you've been seeing for you on what you're aware of in terms of the fighting that's been going on. well here in stepan acker the mood has darkened considerably really in the last 24 hours and that's because on friday night last night there was this shelling of target in step and with large large scale weaponry and that's the 1st time that's happened here since the end of the war in
5:11 pm
1994 and there were further targets hit this morning but has really spooked people people are very concerned more women and children leaving this city and others are taking shelter below ground so there is real concern about the the change of tempo here really as people worry that this conflict might escalate before there's any chance of it deescalating that's bernard smith bring us up to date from stephanotis integral cutbacks thanks very much or so of course yellow is in john she's been meeting with those displaced by the fighting. many of the people living in the villages and of the town center of terror attacks have moved to saturday where we are i'm right now in the city center town central baghdad and just a few always ago i visited in my business at the school of public building where
5:12 pm
this place people were sleeping for the last couple days and they there are no places that they can stay that's why most of the public buildings are paid for the internal of this place 2345 families sharing one room to hold one for sharing one bathroom and they are saying that they didn't have anything with them except for their close own and their slippers or shoes and they are waiting to go back when the attacks finished but i have to say that people are very emotional here because they say they are attacked in their own soil from their own soil and maybe they say they have no problem with their men and people but of course it will be it will it will take some time to see how this conflict is going to shape up still had a lot of 0 with the u.s. election one months away really to what president tom's called the 19 diagnosis for the race for the white house. security forces in mozambique are accused of

calls for a cease fire. president donald trump's covert 1000 diagnosis has up ended the already tumultuous 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 campaigns as rob reynolds 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
5:17 pm
president's absence from the campaign trail is not particularly important. in addition to. the british way and egyptians 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 is the best thing that her legacy is making fun of joe biden for where again 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
5:18 pm
a change in the direction of his leadership and that he will curtail some of the activities like really the campaign rallies brings 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 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. ok let's take

a closer look at the treatments being given to the president's room disappear as an antiviral drug that was previously tested for a bola it's not approved by u.s. drug authorities but it is being allowed for patients with severe cove it 19 it's the only medicine proven to help people recover more quickly around 4 days on average according to one study but the same data shows it does not reduce fatalities and the other treatment is an experimental antibody combination made by the regenerate on company the company says its trials show the cocktail reduces viral load and associated symptoms in 2 has not been approved by the company can give access for compassionate use. well it's also not clear how the president got the virus but one possibility is an event in the white house rose garden last saturday at least 7 people who attended the ceremony for trump's supreme court nominee tested positive on tuesday trump was in ohio for the 1st presidential
5:20 pm
debate with joe biden the president's all to rush including family members didn't wear masks a day later the president flew to an election rally in minnesota but his aides hope takes she tested positive on thursday despite that diagnosis from within his inner circle the president held the white house media briefing as normal and attended a fundraiser at his bed mr golf club in new jersey former white house counsel kellyanne conway campaign manager bill stepien also tested positive conway was at the rose garden event last saturday doctor is a senior lecturer at the university of leeds school of medicine he says in this case contract tracing is going to be a hugely complicated process. we're talking about very influential people who are likely to be going to meeting or conference or dinners after dinner as artie's up to parties where they mingle with with other people it's really important that anyone who has been in close contact with anyone who's tested positive really puts
5:21 pm
himself forward for a test but more importantly self isolates the 10 to 14 days depending on where you live and what we see is actually they are not doing that they are there in close proximity with these people and they going about their business as usual and what we can see from a lot of the pictures that are coming out from these events is that they're not wearing masks and it's now thoroughly established that masks not only protect of a people from your doctor but they can also protect the wearer as well so it's going to be a really tricky process and just because they have tested negative doesn't this really mean they haven't got the virus it could be very early on where that the test hasn't picked up the virus and so self isolation is key at through that really . phase where the virus doesn't have any symptoms increase my politics that we don't live with donald trump in any way but it is sad to see that he's got the virus that we use and well that is news and well and i think everybody here ches
5:22 pm
