and the spend that we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter. to beat this coronavirus all of you want to call it we would beat it soundly. a critical few days ahead for u.s. president donald trump amid conflicting assessments of his fight against covert 19 . hello there i'm laura kyle there says al jazeera live from doha also coming up cities under fire both armenia and azerbaijan accuse each other of targeting civilians in their fight over nagorno-karabakh. a parliamentary election in

kyrgyzstan's overshadowed by allegations of vote buying. and the military is sent in to help clean up the flood hit regions of southern france where a year's worth of rain fell in just 12 hours. his chief of staff said doctors had been quote very concerned but president trump says he's feeling good and the next few days will be a test the true picture of the u.s. president's health remains unclear after conflicting reports from the hospital always being treated for cave at 19 and a video on twitter trying to finish his election campaign exactly the way it started reports. from inside walter reed hospital a message from the president i came here wasn't feeling so well i feel much better

now working hard to get me all the way back i have to be back because we still have to make america great again we've done an awfully good job of that a new recruits from donald trump who was rushed to hospital late on friday i just didn't want to stay in the white house i was given to him to stay in the white house lock yourself in don't ever leave don't even go to the oval office just stay upstairs and enjoy it don't see people don't talk to people and just be done with it and i can't do that i had to be out front and this is america this is the united states. but the white house message and the president's illness has been confused and incomplete on saturday morning the doctors gave a briefing but that reese questions of when the president was actually diagnosed the president tweeted out the news on friday morning just 72 hours into the diagnosis now the 1st week of it and a particular day 7 to 10 of the most critical in determining the likely course of this illness at this time the team and i are extremely happy with the progress the

president has made. another of the consulting physicians said the experimental cocktail regeneration was administered 48 hours ago some are working very closely with the company to monitor him but that would mean the president was diagnosed on wednesday before 2 big campaign rallies and a fundraiser would suggest regeneration was given 24 hours earlier than the white house says it was. the 1st rule of crisis communications one story one voice the white house has failed to follow that has caused confusion and medical experts say it doesn't help that the briefing left a number of questions unanswered for example we were not told what type of fever the president had how high did it go we were not told with any clear whether or not he was or was not the recipient of supplemental oxygen ha then adding to the confusion the president's chief of staff mark meadows who told reporters trump's

vital signs in the past 24 hours have been disturbing and the next 48 hours of treatment are critical. all that has meant little to the hundreds of supporters who gathered outside the hospital to send their support for the president but the crucial period is still to come for corporate patients 5 to 10 days in is critical but no the president is in the best place for treatment even if he insists he's ready to head back to the white house alan fischer. at the walter reed hospital because you know. oh a trump in hospital here is cutting short his trip to asia my pompei is having meetings in japan but won't fly on to mongolia and south korea on paper said he had no plans to cancel his trip when news of infection was 1st announced. azerbaijan and armenia are accusing each other of targeting civilians in the conflict over the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh. these patches were released a few hours ago he said to the saints and says he has stepped on

a cat i mean in specials who control the city say civilians have been injured as a vine john meanwhile says its 2nd biggest city has been targeted as well venice smith has been sheltering and the panic at the moment or on in the bunker of the hotel that we're staying in was been really intensive bombardment of the city for the last several hours and it's been like the most of the morning it was like. my last night service from the most intense bombardment the city has ever since the end of the war in 19 months before. there's been considerable damage to a lot of buildings in the city center. one of the other hotels had all the windows blown out in this last bombardment. we had we got the chemist cells to see some of the damaged buildings. so there is clearly an attempt to

cause destruction obviously in the city most people could not manage to get out now because just hiding and bomb shelters there is bombardment of buildings in which there are civilians ours included in this hotel yes civilians it's feeling the brunt of the bombardment sure whether there is any military in installations in this city are calm tell you but sure civilians are on the receiving end of the bombardment. but it's close now to simcoe services and guns and as i'm fine john and some is there is also saying the civilians are being targeted on vast have been hit. well there are there bridge on government say's it's the civilians being targeted plus it's the big cities being

targeted so for those aerial fishel that i have spoken to after india aftermath of today's 6 today's explosion in gun just city they told me that our mania is trying to transform this conflict of nagorno-karabakh to a war between the conflict direct the between our mania and as our big john as they are seeking for international support in a conflict which the united nations resolutions and other international binding documents are in favor of as our big job because those that come and say that. our mania has all keep quiet hours are by john that's not going to occur is occupied and according to human research lucian armenia must unconditionally withdrawal its true its military forces from these territories of course in the city since we have come here. there is one thing which is interesting despite this explosion the

the life in the city is normal people are outside going going out to where they are supposed to go on the sunday and this is a city with $350000.00 population around everybody is stunned because probably they weren't expecting to get hit on the 2nd largest city of us our bridge on which is actually which was actually a chosen as the youth capital by a european union a couple of years ago and they are stunned they are. afraid but also they are very angry this is what our series both officials and the civilians have been telling us they are angry that the civilians have been targeted indiscriminate they've got of course when you look at their many inside the armenian government and there are many and civilians as we have also been reporting from there say the same. i think apparently a trade of propaganda is also on the table but from what we

have heard from the from some officials they it they are saying that the world mustn't be silent against the civilians being attacked by their many unsigned and. one m.p. from a survey john government just told us that couple of minutes ago in the explosion site that our media did a very big mistake by attack again joe but maybe the officials and analysts and as every job believe that our main is just trying to transform this conflict by later will one else then that we're not going to buy and try to get support a collective support by the collective security treaty organization which azerbaijan is not a member of but russia our main yet was because than because i could stand on a quicker is than are members of this is the situation and the atmosphere in again just city of us are big john right now we have had offers from the international community to discuss a cease fire but azerbaijan remain resolute that it's not ready to come to the

table until you know i mean in. the immune side including nagorno-karabakh stops its attacks. well laura actually at 1st more sides were rejecting any negotiations wall size had conditions and we interpret it as our bridge on president he said that our menu must stop putting preconditions before negotiations they say that the us and all international binding platforms. approve that our mania is an occupier iranian forces are ok fires in the golan a core of and they're going to care about is legit is a legitimate azerbaijan territory and they're saying that we are being hit in our own territory from our own territory so they say that this is international internationally everybody is on the side of us our bait john but our but our main yeah is also seeking some support as our bridge on. ours is saying that they are

open to negotiations but are many a must 1st uncle nation a withdrawal from the occupied territories and they are saying that until question turned prime minister of our mania they had some force of progress in they are negotiations and talks with the armenian politicians but now it's not going ok send a many thanks for that from as a by john. now versus voters in kyrgyzstan are picking new members of parliament but there are widespread allegations of party is trying to buy votes the country is often described as being the most democratic of all former soviet states in central asia chance traffic reports from bishkek. the capital of cuba stone the country often described as being more democratic than its neighbors which were also part of the soviet union before it collapsed. 16

parties with more than 1500 candidates competing in these parliamentary elections but there is little trust in many of the faces that adorn campaign posters. of works on a farm on the outskirts of the city he's angry about mounting allegations of parties trying to buy votes in the run up to the poll. it was something i found. people who sell their vote are selling their hope selling their country selling their memories of their ancestors and selling their future. this man who didn't want to be identified said in recent days people working for a pro-government political party have twice offered him money if he promises to vote for them all citizens who work for a given party are involved in vote buying he tells me that a party gives a person $50.00 to buy a vote they will buy it for $25.00 and pocket the rest this system happens every election and it's happening again he says. kyrgyzstan's post soviet political

experience has been lively to say the least 2 presidents overthrown in revolutions the former president currently serving in 11 year jail term for corruption but politicians and analysts say that kyrgyzstan may be more democratic than its central asian neighbors but in terms of free and fair elections the still a long way to go there are dozens of candidates with various parties who have criminal records that want to kill gives law could be wiped clean if they pay a fine. but the trial a good rose was set a long time ago nothing lawless is happening now but i agree that issues with a legal document form 2 i thought we were a new democracy and we are learning the form of. election monitors say people in poor rule communities are particularly vulnerable to accepting bribes for votes form 2 is illegal lupo the levels of voter to change the precincts in which he or she casts a ballot it means parties who feel they may lack support in

a given area off a transport and money to voters if they agree to be moved and vote for them. it's estimated around half a 1000000 people have been moved from their precincts to vote. the likely outcome of the vote is tilting in the savor of pro-government parties but then. there's always the possibility that even those. half a 1000000 people or many many many among them are still able to vote independently when they enter the voting booth. the reform party this huge rappers singing and she government songs to rally support reform aims to attract young voters tired of what analysts say has been decades of economic mismanagement poor job opportunities we're not happy with what what is happening and we need this is choices to change because in this bill or your 30 years where

we're in the country but we still are suffering people are poor i mean the corruption. and basically the thieves are stealing our future so we're going to stand for that for a generation hoping that no matter the struggles against corruption and criminality the page the political system the journey towards true democracy and development must go on trial started al-jazeera bishkek kyrgyzstan. still ahead here on al-jazeera our triumphant announcement for the republicans turned into a coronavirus super spreader a vent. and it's back to the beaches en brazil in defiance of coronavirus orders to keep off the latest from a generic. hello

voters in kyrgyzstan are picking new members of parliament but there are widespread allegations of parties trying to buy ballots country is often described as being the most democratic of all former soviet states in central asia. more now on our top story and how the white house has become a covert 19th hotspot the nomination of amy kenny barrett was meant to be a day of political trial for now appears it may have been a coronavirus super spread a vent brunell's reports. few people who attended the rose garden event on september 26th wore man 6 and the chairs were space close together president trump was announcing the nomination of amy cody barrett to the supreme court but as the guests mingled and chatted amongst themselves the corona virus was silently creeping through the air it is for all intents and purposes a super spreader event we have multiple people that are affected there now we're seeing blossoming chains of transmission that probably emanate from there so this

will be something that will be recognized as a super spreader when the story of 1000 years at least 8 people who were there have now tested positive for covert 19 besides trump and 1st lady maloney a trump they include utah republican senator mike lee who was seen hugging and interacting with other people north carolina republican senator tom tillis trump advisor kellyanne conway and an unidentified reporter covering the event the latest to announce testing positive is republican former new jersey governor chris christie who also helped trump prepare for tuesday's debate notre dame university president reverend john jenkins who also tested positive said guests were told they didn't need to wear masks because everyone in attendance had been tested sometimes that testing is not going to be ironclad the virus can find holes and that's got to

be clearly people were instructed to take off their face coverings once their tests came back not realizing that tests have operated characteristics and there is some rate of false negatives they can occur when you when you are testing like public health experts are hopeful that the outbreak in trump's inner circle could change the minds of people who still don't take the virus seriously i do think that this is a turning point for many people to see the most protected man in the world be infected by this virus despite the persians at the white house had put in place the testing so there. something that. really should make people who doubt the virulence of this pandemic can aspire to take a step back with covert 900 spreading at the highest levels of washington republican senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is delaying most senate business core 2 weeks but even though 2 republicans on the judiciary committee were apparently sickened in the rose garden mcconnell says he will push ahead with confirmation hearings for supreme court nominee barrett on october 12th robert
