our country for generations to come live coverage of the vice presidential debates are not just 0. it's morning the president is doing very well. doctors treating president trump for coated 19 say they're happy with his progress but another official warns the next 48 hours will be critical. to this is our jazeera live from london also coming up the number of people confirmed dead from coburg 19 on his 100000 in india the 3rd country to pass this milestone after the u.s. and brazil. a media says it will use all necessary means to protect the millions

from azerbaijan as fighting rages for a 7th day and they're going to come back. in 2 days and 25 missing all interest storm hits france and italy sweeping away houses and roads. and i mixed messages over don't trump screen a virus diagnosis of causing confusion over the health of the world's most powerful president officials and doctors are presenting contradictory explanations of when the u.s. leader was infected and how sick he actually may be donald trump himself has tweeted from hospital if he's feeling well and thanked medics at walter reed medical center where he's been since friday the president's own doctor sean connelly also said he was doing very well and had been fever free for 24 hours at this time the team and i are extremely happy with the progress the president has made. there's a he had

a mild cough and some little congestion fatigue all of which are now resolving improving support to note the president's been fever free for over 24 hours we remain cautiously optimistic but he's doing great but minutes after that an official close to trump said some of his vital signs over the past 24 hours have been very concerning and the next 48 hours are critical and senate republicans have canceled all legislative work until october the 19th as the coronavirus sweeps through the parties ranks are gathering at the white house rose garden last week could be dubbed a super spreader event after several top republican attendees tested positive there wasn't much social distancing or many face masks at the event to nominate amy kone barrett to the supreme court her appointment could also be at risk as key members of the senate judiciary committee have contracted the virus senator mike lee seen here hugging other attendees tested positive on friday as did fellow committee

member senator tom tennis and trump's former senior adviser kellyanne conway on the trump allies who have tested positive but weren't at the event include his campaign manager the republican national committee chair and former new jersey governor chris christie. mike hanna joins us from outside walter reed medical military medical center in bethesda so mike trumps doctor statement seems to have raised as many questions as a dancer saying the president was 72 hours into his diagnosis which would have been midday on wednesday. indeed yes it's all very confusing you heard there from the president's personal physician 72 hours since diagnosis it was also mentioned that it was 48 hours since a cocktail was it ministered to president trump however the personal physician has now attempted to walk these back he's issued a statement saying that what he meant was that the diagnosis occurred within the

past 3 days and that the antibody cocktail was administered within the past 2 days so once again very confusing you mentioned as well as statement by somebody close to president saying that his vital signs in the past 24 hours were alarming and that the next 48 hours are critical now we now know the name of that have facial and that's the chief of staff mark medders so certainly there piers to be a disconnect between that very rosy prognosis given by the doctors here in the hospital and what his own chief of staff is saying the doctors absolutely adamant that the president is doing well that he's walking around that he's cheerful that he's carrying on working from his executive suite in the hospital here behind him you can probably hear as well as you can the occasional bursts of noise from some supporters gathered outside the gate behind me here but certainly there's a degree of comfort or degree of disconnect between what the doctors are saying and

between what president trump's chief of staff has told reporters and my talking to me in the likely impact of these various senior republicans testing positive. well it's a massive impact because what we're looking at the possibility is a resurgence of the virus within the district of columbia we've had recorded the number of infections that occurred during that rose garden ceremony exactly a week ago there have been other republicans who were not at that ceremony who contracted the virus while in d.c. including the senate of wisconsin the chair of the republican national committee so there does appear to be an upsurge in terms of these infections that is why the head of the said the majority leader in the senate has actually said the senate floor will be closed until october the 19th but here's the rub he insists that the nomination hearings for president trump selection as the new chief justice in the

supreme court will go ahead to shed chilled on october the 12th this means that it's going to be a virtual hearing now democrats are absolutely adamant that that cannot happen that anything as important as an appointment to the supreme court has to be in person they are arguing too that the whole process should be held until after the election pending the possibility of a new administration being voted getting which would want to make its own appointment to the critical supreme court bench so certainly there is a lot of to and fro going on here the impact of the virus now getting very close obviously to the white house with a large number of people who are being affected connected to it and of course as well within the district of columbia where you do have members of congress who were in the district being infected now going into quarantine obviously is calling into question the whole workings of congress at the moment and certainly it has stopped

the physical workings of the senate at least for the next couple of weeks so it is having a major impact but above all the fact that the president of the united states has tested positive for the virus and he's sitting in a very. furious hospitals wheat is something that is still sitting home to most americans and certainly more than anything it emphasizes that this virus knows no rank that it remains as a threat to the people of this country regardless of those supporters of president trump some of whom are still not wearing masks despite the current says over the past few days mike hanna thank you very much indeed. world leaders have been wishing donald and melania trump a speedy recovery following their diagnosis among the 1st was u.k. prime minister boris johnson who was treated for kovan 1000 in march he says he has no doubt trying to make a strong recovery meanwhile the french president emanuel posted a photo of this handwritten note to social media telling the president to stay

strong north korean leader kim jong un and chinese president xi jinping also offer their sympathies according to their country's state media agencies president trump has repeatedly said the u.s. has turned a corner when it comes to covert 19 but he was just one of more than 54000 people who tested positive in the u.s. on friday and at least 800 more people died cases have been going up in at least 33 states as well as pressure rico since late august wisconsin a critical swing state in the upcoming election recorded high case counts for 20 straight days up until thursday. india's spiralling corona virus outbreak has now killed more than $100000.00 people that's nearly 10 percent of global deaths from the disease it's only the 3rd country to record that number now to the united states and brazil the virus hit india harder than any other country in september recording the highest daily number of infections and fatalities in the world are

missed in the range of modi's government has been criticized for its handling of the virus and the effect on the economy which is left millions jobless. the use of masks and hand sanitizer has gone down drastically there are even messages on phones when you call someone about the use of masks sanitizer and social distancing people are listening to it only to ignore it even in the hospitals people come here without masks inside the hospitals we remind them to use masks but they take the masks off again and again. francisco with 19 outbreak has once again hit record levels with almost 17000 new cases confirmed in the past 24 hours as was 900 more than the previous high register last week another 49 people have died from france's total death toll 232198 the 8 highest in the world the government is expected to announce new measures to curb the outbreak. the dritte is back on the partial

lockdown of the government struggles to stem rising coronavirus cases in what's become europe's biggest hotspot almost 5000000 people are now barred from leaving the spanish capital and restaurants capacities have been harmed police have set up barricades and are stopping cars on major roads leading in and out of the city while the restrictions are not as strict as they were in march residents are being encouraged not to move around unless absolutely necessary madrid has had 770000 confirmed cases since the start of the pandemic if any i'm going to say about the problem in a game time because we had bookings and many people find to cancel them for example today we had a reservation and they cancelled this an hour before saying that they were not going to travel due to the restrictions and that they were not allowed in. ministry and that it will still do less people to shop for less crowded bar thought mature and tino's a feeling of sadness in the atmosphere. i

mean yes as it would use all necessary means to protect ethnic armenians from attack by azerbaijan this is the 2 sides continue to pound each other in the disputed nagorno-karabakh region which is officially part of john but is ethnically armenian and has been controlled by armenian forces since 1904. but actually it is in the enclave say another $51.00 of their soldiers have been killed the fighting broke out there 7 days ago with both nations blaming each other for the aggression international peace efforts of so far come to nothing with those signs accusing each other of shelling civilian areas and smith has more true regions capitol steps back at full military here but now $198.00 soldiers have been killed since fighting started on sunday and 14 civilians now they won't give specific details on advances or losses on the military front they say for security reasons but the

military says the fighting has been and remains very intense all the way along the line of contact that says some 182200 kilometers down the eastern side of nagorno-karabakh and on the other side as a by john here in step and the main city in a go in a karabakh the mood has darkened considerably over the last 24 hours and that is because this city has been hit twice now with a series of attacks of large scale weaponry in 2 episodes and that's the 1st time that has happened here since the war ended in 1994 and we've seen more women and children trying to leave the town and more civilians are sheltering in bunkers same costlier is in bad in central azerbaijan where many people have fled from 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

telling central fires and just a few always ago i discussed with you by visit a school of public buildings where 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 staying for the entire globe 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 money 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. and you can watch an interview with the armenian prime minister

and one of the top stories here now to syria u.s. president donald trump has tweeted that he is feeling well in hospital after testing positive for corona virus the president's doctors say they are happy with his progress but an official close to trump said the next 48 hours are critical. india's spiralling coronavirus outbreak has now killed more than 100000 people that's nearly 10 percent of global deaths from the disease. and armenia says it will use all necessary means to protect ethnic armenians from attack by azerbaijan as both sides battle each other in the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh. the president trumps kevin 19 diagnosis is appended the already tumultuous race for the white house joe biden's campaign has removed all negative ads about the president but the president's campaign team is still running attack ads on the democrats' 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. you know. in a tweet it seems to be breaking his way in a different trump's 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 have that the best thing that her legacy is making fun of joe biden away and then last week he said that kind of big birds they had packs now a 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 various things we did michael ovitz 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 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 is running as ready protesters have defied coronavirus restrictions to rally against the prime minister for the 15th straight week hundreds of people have demonstrated in tel aviv against and limiting his handling of the pandemic and corruption charges which he denies they want him to step down while he's on trial on wednesday israel bad and outdoor gatherings 120 people as part of her nude down nationals. have force that is in west jerusalem so it gives an idea of the scale of this demonstration. well it's tens of thousands of people hundreds at least of

small protests across the country the organizers of the one of the main organizers of these long running and seen as a young demonstrations they're calling this a kilometer it is this weekend's protest because people are being told they can't protest. at a distance of more than a kilometer from the front door in groups of more than 20 and so that we have these decentralized protests across the country outside netanyahu house here in west jerusalem they are much lower number than they are because it's relatively set make there it's a much larger gathering intel of the. a spy there is in both of them it's going to be some kind of rest water ice at those to find. the border less or out of spirits again and that you know or i think it is road that i toss in the school say that it is a consideration that people shouldn't be gathering during

a lockdown. very much out of control pandemic in israel and the spiking numbers then he was wrong because instead they have come out in all these small protest it's much easier for people just to go down to their front door and find a local protest than it would be to make to come here to jerusalem and indeed there is a grill grievance deepening here on the lockdown measure the longer it goes on the more the economic consequences there are and also a lot of these protesters upset that the main source of the infection at least proportionately in the ultra orthodox community 4 in 10 new infections coming from that part of israeli society that they have been breaking regulations allowed to continue to pray in great numbers and so we've seen people taking to the streets yet again despite these restrictions herefore said thank you very much nic that update. a car bomb has exploded in eastern afghanistan killing at least 14 people and injuring more than 50 others it back to
