4:02 pm
next few days will be a test the 74 year old remains in a military hospital in maryland 3 days after announcing it tested positive for covert 19 well mike hanna is at the hospital in maryland we're going to be speaking to him in a moment but 1st alan fischer reports on the confusing picture about tom's health 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 little to stay in the white house lucky self 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 have to be out front and this is america this is the
4:03 pm
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 antibody 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 i would suggest regeneration was given 24 hours earlier than the white house says it was. the 1st full of crisis communications one story one voice the
4:04 pm
white house has failed to follow that and this 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 feeder the president had how high did it go we were not told with any clear whether or not he in fact 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 support for the president but the crucial period is still to come for corporate patients 5 to 10 days in is critical but know 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 al-jazeera at the walter reed hospital but the middle and i was going to mike hanna who is outside the hospital
4:05 pm
president trump is being treated 1st of all mike is there any change in the president's condition. well as yet we have not received any official information from the doctors treating president trump here we are expecting in the course of the morning effect tomorrow is that today is the same as very changeable yesterday we are expecting some further update in terms of his treatment what we do know because this has been mentioned by the doctor is that he is on a course of 3 and disappear this is a daily dose of this particular drug which is designed basically to increase the speed of recovery it's not a curative drug it anymore anyway it's clearly a therapeutic one and it's supposed to increase the speed of recovery from roughly 14 days to 11 that's according to previous tests but as you mentioned there the confusion as to the president's exact condition on the one hand you have his
4:06 pm
personal physician giving a rather rosy prognosis and then you have the chief of staff talking about vital statistics being disturbing the one point of agreement it would agree at this stage both from president trump himself as we heard last night and from his chief of staff is that the next 2 days are absolutely critical now compounding the whole confusion about this is there is a lack of clarity from the white house about whether they are talking about president trying to being diagnosed they've now attempted to say that he was diagnosed on thursday they will not say and will not mention when he 1st tested positive now this is a critical issue because it will show how long he's been infected for and give some indication as to how long it is going to last there is a noise behind me here this is a busy street as you can hear but basically we are hoping to hear in the course of the morning some kind of update in the meantime mike it looks more likely that the supreme court nomination ceremony the habit of few days ago in the rose garden of
4:07 pm
the white house was at least one of the so-called super spreader events and the important thing is of course for people to try to trace who was at these events and see if they are positive or negative who's doing that contact tracing because we're talking about trying to cover an awful lot of people. well this is a very controversial point at the moment the whole issue of contact tracing the white house of the doctors physician has said that tracing will be conducted or a directed by the white house however this will be done in conjunction with the centers for disease control says the white house doctor this being said various reports indicate that very few of those who were present at that rose garden ceremony week ago had been contacted by any traces we've heard reports from minnesota where the president traveled to 2 separate venues that nobody has
4:08 pm
contacted minnesota dorothy's in terms of following up contact tracing we've heard from new jersey where the president visited his golf club thursday there has been no follow up in terms of somebody attempting to contact those who were present at that golf club for a campaign gathering for a fundraising event so at this stage nobody's quite sure who's actually doing contract tracing because this is a crucial issue we do know that in the states in new jersey the debt at contact tracing procedure is under way but it is not centralized white house says that it is directing it supervising it but at this particular stage every indication is that it is not. mike thanks very much indeed that's mike hanna outside the hospital with the president being treated in maryland where the majority of americans think the president could have avoided getting sick even taken the virus more seriously a reuters ipsos poll suggests that 65 percent of those voters those hasta hold that opinion and that includes many in his own party republicans questioned agreed with
4:09 pm
that but only about a 3rd of those surveyed thought trump has been telling the truth about covert 19 the president has repeatedly dismissed the seriousness of the pandemic just last week he made fun of his democratic presidential challenger joe biden for wearing a mask well eric hammes a political analyst and author of the g.o.p. civil war inside the battle for the soul of the republican party he's joining us on skype from washington d.c. thanks very much for joining us again on al-jazeera let's talk about what a lot of people were talking about when this initially happened the sympathy vote a lot of people were suggesting that that this may affect the outcome of the election it may sway some voters what do you think. this is a question that i received from one of the host at al-jazeera when we initially found out the president at contract at the virus and i just don't think there is a groundswell of sim that the that will turn this election in the president's favor
4:10 pm
one reason for that is the president for months now has downplayed this virus in addition to that we have seen how callous the president has been toward many who have contract and died from this virus particularly those who have been hardest hit in blue states the president has continuously said that if you take out those in blue states we would be doing much much better as if to suggest that those people that have died of those people in blue states such as california new york who have contract the virus are not or do not merit the attention of the federal government so again we have seen the president continue to act in a blatant disregard towards the virus and now that it has actually come to the president's doorstep many believe that this could be a way to shake the white house to shake this administration to finally act to try to aggressively combat the virus going by the poll results that i was talking about
4:11 pm
before although of course we don't know how many people were actually questioned within the poll but nevertheless they do so show a degree of trend that of if nothing else an uncertainty about the way the president has been handling this with the result that he has covert 19 given the strength of the statements that he has made up to this point about covert 1900 does donald trump walk back from that ahead of the election enough to be able to convince anybody that he would say enough that they would actually have an impact on the voting. this is been a signature problem that has dogged the president since the virus exploded president donald trump has always been a master at shaping the narrative to fit his agenda and now that that we see so many millions of americans have been tracking the virus so many thousands have died from the virus and now the president who has said that this is a virus it was a hoax it is going away the united states is turning the corner now that he himself
4:12 pm
has contracted the virus as long as as as well as with any of his key supporters governor chris christie kellyanne conway and others that changes or that actually they make it difficult for the president continue to push this narrative that the virus is of no consequence and that it's going away and now the president has less than 30 days to be able to can to continue to promote this narrative and that's going to be difficult to do from my hospital room in walter reed medical center ok let me ask you on the point in terms of how the republicans in particular the term the time campaign handled the campaign from this point obviously the last major event was the face off with joe biden that's the thing that's been everybody's mind that's the way that at the moment they're remembering how the debate has gone how the campaigns have gone what happens now with the campaigning and is there a way that the time campaign actually can turn this to some sort of advantage. well
4:13 pm
because the president is now infirm because we know that even if the president gets better he's still going to be off the trail for at least 14 days and doctors have already said it's $7.10 days are perhaps the most crucial so clearly the president is not out of the woods yet but remember americans by the millions are star voting now there's early voting taking place so in effect this race will be over by november 3rd and what we are saying is that the president the last memories that many americans will have of the president is that debate performance which many believe was perhaps the most abysmal debate the country has ever seen and that will be the final take away the final selling point of president down trump which is not a good look given that the president is down by as many as 10 points nationally and by all accounts is losing an overwhelming majority of the key battleground states that he needs in order to secure reelection as always it's really good to get your
4:14 pm
thoughts in this area come we appreciate your joining us and al-jazeera thank you thank you with something hospital the u.s. secretary of state is cutting short his trip to asia from players having meetings in japan but he won't fly on to mongolia and south korea said he had no plans to counsel his trip when news of thompson faction was announced. plenty more ahead on the news hour including tarantula rains and devastating floods leaves towns in france and italy covered in mud. we look at the efforts to revitalize the philippine city that was once called the powell of the orient. kind in sports the 100 and 45th preakness stakes and is in a photo finish bar is here with that story. azerbaijan
4:15 pm
and armenia are accusing each other of targeting civilians in the conflict over the disputed region of not going to cut a black these pictures were released a few hours ago said to be the city of state pollak out our reporter says there have been regular explosions as a by john meanwhile says its 2nd biggest city has been targeted. well assuming cost you all is in that city gun joe we're going to be speaking in just a few minutes 1st let's go to charles stratford's who is in gore is in but just talk to us about what has been happening over the last few hours. brought this this is been a very difficult this is been a very difficult day for the people all of us to panic the main town in the corner we were there earlier on the we're now 2 hours away but when we were there early morning a sustained. of coming into the city clearly where there are
4:16 pm
plenty of civilians still living people have left the city women and children but there are still many civilians many civilians. way air raid sirens wailing throughout the day what seems to be happening is that the as area military is targeting the infrastructure instead panic as in other parts of cairo back there was an electricity substation tribulation center not far from we it was staying that was and it seems have been a target earlier in the day they missed it and then hit it one way or the when we were very nearby just about lunchtime today it means to panic is now without electricity now the weather is getting colder and of course dark nights people living in bunkers a very very difficult condition as well but now we're having a little bit of break up on the line that we're getting from you which is perhaps not surprising but in terms of the city itself it's the 2nd biggest city in a growing ocado back was there any warning given to the civilians and how much
4:17 pm
danger are these still in. yet i should say there's a big thunderstorm going on at the moment up which may be affecting our signal but no the warnings that is from air raid sirens in those areas sirens we hear that gives you no sign it. about to get down to a bunker and then the missile come in so there's not an awful lot of notice but enough it seems to seek cover but it's very frightening for the people in that city now is the biggest bar sustained. since the war 'd ended there in 994 so people really shocked by what spinning and witnessing and as i say weapons technology has changed considerably in the more than 20 days since our. last fought and azerbaijan now has turkey shell and it seems to have precision missiles and drones that are being very effective at targeting locations in the
4:18 pm
corner both brian and thanks very much indeed that's a burden smith talking to us from on media let's cross to sin and cos you know who who is in azerbaijan cinema give us an indication of what the israelis are saying about all of this. well rob was there is are saying that they are defending their own territory especially while they are being attacked from in their own territory from their own territory this is what the allies are officials have been saying on camera and plus on the news outlets that we are reading this and they are accusing our mania for expansionist policies mainly actually most of the overshoes accuse the prime minister nicole position young is saying they say that nicole pushing the un has an expansionist policy and it was actually declared in new york a couple of months ago by their one of their ministers so according to the un
4:19 pm
resubmission as our vision say is that in international the binding un resolution says it's not going to cut about is an azerbaijan territory occupied by armenian forces and armenian forces must unconditionally with throw from nagorno-karabakh and other occupied territories this is according to the un and based on this the officers tell us that we won't come to come to enter negotiations with their many inside until they withdraw from all those occupied territories to their legal. in their legal legally respective areas then we can talk this is what officials have been saying they emphasize that they have no problem with the they are many in public they say they are not hitting civilian targets but apparently when there is a war especially something like the nagorno-karabakh conflict that has been ongoing for 3 decades the civilians are intentionally or unintentionally are the ones that
4:20 pm
are hurt most they are there is side is not giving any figures on military casualties on their side but they are giving some numbers about the losses they cause for daryn many and apparently this this seems to be that they are trying to keep the morality the motivation of they are very military high because they are aimed seems to be getting back in all those occupied lands from the armenians of sin and thanks very much indeed that's in course you lou. bones brewers is the caucasus program director of the london based conciliation resources he explains how the conflict could trigger further tension in the region cities have been struck in azerbaijan ganja the 2nd city of the country and there are continuing reports of missile strikes on stepanek and other population centers in the going to corridor now if azerbaijan were to reciprocate and there were to be missile strikes on targets in armenia that would activate russia's security
4:21 pm
guarantees to armenia and would force it to act and what's i think very dangerous here is that russia and i mean you're of course members of the collective security treaty organization and turkey is a member of nato so we see a risk of these 2 geopolitical blocs coming into conflict with one another in a very dangerous situation there have been speculation that russia might take advantage of the situation to impose a variant of the minsk group a peace plan on armenia if i mean is weakened over the course of a week to 10 days russia could come in and impose that there's speculation that perhaps russia wants to. enforce peace by having boots on the ground introducing peacekeeping forces into the combat zone but i think what's what's significant is that with this escalation today there is actually i think reason for moscow and ankara to join the wider international voices calling for deescalation and to exert
4:22 pm
leverage to bring europe on a back to back to the negotiating table and organize a ceasefire and voters in kurdistan are picking new members of parliament blocks that are widespread allegations of parties trying to buy votes the country's often described as being the most democratic of all former soviet states in central asia . john stop is joining us now from the capital bishkek charles just give us an idea of what's at stake in these elections. i think it's fair to say that in general the certainly what analysts are saying as well is that the the biggest thing at stake is the kind of democratic progress that this country has made since the breakup of the soviet union since its independence certainly in the last 15 years or so since the revolution of their 1st that overthrew the 1st president here kyrgyzstan is widely seen is being more democratic by far than the
4:23 pm
neighboring post soviet states in central asia we've seen some very lively debate. on television between opposition and pro-government parties people here are free to criticize the government created to criticize the president. so it's in stark contrast to the state of democracy here in relation to snape is that people are still no less angry about for example the economic situation here the economy was tanking for a long time before kovi and it's got a lot worse since bear in mind that around 800000 kirby's people are forced to work abroad because they can't find jobs here. analysts economists are saying decades of mismanagement corruption. lack of investment because foreign investors don't see it as being politically stable enough here to put their money into kurdistan quite yet. but although we're talking about how the arena is
4:24 pm
open for criticizing the government and to free the pate what's become evident in the run up to the elections is the kind of message that parties seemingly pro government and opposition are using to to do as well as they can in this election and there are widespread allegations. in this sort of vote buying and and election fraud and we've been having a look at some of those methods and this is our report. bishkek the capital of kyrgyzstan a 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
4:25 pm
parties trying to buy votes in the run up to the poll that was something i found. people who sell their vote or 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 your party gives a person $50.00 to buy a vote they will buy it for $25.00 and pocket the rest the 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
4:26 pm
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 his law can be wiped clean if they pay a fine. they will take the trial a get a rose was it 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 a foreign. election monitors say people in poor rule communities are particularly vulnerable to accepting bribes for votes form 2 is illegal lupo the lower as a 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 offer 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. in a likely outcome of the vote is tilting in favor of pro-government parties but then
4:27 pm
. there's always that 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 has used wrappers 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 were not happy with what what is happening and we need this is choice and. what changed because i mean it's been all your 30 years where independent country but we still are suffering our 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
4:28 pm
that they jail political system the journey towards true democracy development must go on. as i know you've been at some of the votes at the voting stations the polling stations today have you seen or had any more of these allegations of evidence of voter irregularities. well certainly robert the polling station that we spent a majority of our day at which was one on the outskirts of bish we had a number of people that came up to us. one man in particular who was very angry these are people who lived in that community and they were keen on telling the media look the people you can see in these queues and there were lots of them they were saying we don't recognize any of them where have they come from an indication that that loophole full to as mentioned in our report may well have been exploited there we also we actually spoke to a man who freely admitted that he had been bussed in to come and cast his ballot at
4:29 pm
that station he refused to tell us whether he had been offered money by a pro-government party in his case but he did admit he had come to vote in support of the pope for we also social media they have been videos circulating that we in no way can confirm videos taken of people who had taken photographs of their ballot paper after having voted and the theory is all the rumors that are circulating is that these photographs are used by that voter to prove to the party that they did in deed vote for them in order to receive some sort of payment allegations like this that are being made and evidence like this that he's surfacing that don't bode well we're expecting preliminary results in the next hour or so and you've got to ask the question just how these results will go down with the people with an
4:30 pm
electorate that hopes so often protested after elections in the past charles thanks very much that's chance transferred in biscay. well any commodity is an associate professor at the national defense university she's been monitoring allegations of vote buying. i wouldn't say that democracy and your what we see in kyrgyzstan over the past decade since the last regime change is that the resist certain sophistication and political campaigning new political leaders in parties like any formal reform have emerged but at the same time because the political landscape is so competitive and noisy at times we see that pro-government political parties in this case. and maybe also make an incredible stand. they are trying to improve their ways of prosecution as well so we
4:31 pm
see that ways to falsify and to pressure voters to vote certain way have also. expanded and there are there are more and more tools used by pro-government parties know to make sure that they 'd prevail at elections but overall this is a very competitive political landscape and the population in caracas dahlan is really politicized but hopefully yes. the consciousness increases and political landscape continues to sophisticate then we will see cleaner elections hopefully. some for the weather and here's everton that now over in europe they're getting tremendously bad weather in france and italy as we know about you're talking this time about central america looks pretty busy behind you there yeah that's right it is busy rob we got some couple of all of the systems in the western side of the caribbean and you can see this massive cloud just around the yucatan

they want to go to 0 a reminder of our top stories this are the true picture of president donald trump's condition remains unclear after conflicting reports from the white house and the hospital where he's being treated for covert 19 in a video on twitter trump said he was feeling good but said the real test was in the next few days. as a by john and on many of our cues in each other of targeting civilians in the conflict over the disputed region of normal caught a buck these pictures were released a few hours ago and is said to be the scene in the city of still pockets our reporter says there have been a regular explosions. voters in kyrgyzstan no picking new members of parliament but there are widespread allegations of parties trying to buy ballots the country's often described as being the most democratic of all former soviet states in central asia. antigovernment protesters rallying in the belorussian capital have had water cannons used against them but he's tried to disperse crowds in minsk for weeks now

they've been demonstrating against president alexander lukashenko his reelection the opposition accuses him of rigging the poll in august the protesters are also calling for the release of political prisoners. more now on our top story and how the white house has become a covert 1000 hot spot the nomination of amy coney barret was meant to be a day of political triumph but it now appears it may have been a coronavirus super spreader event rob reynolds 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 coney 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
4:37 pm
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 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 trip 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
4:38 pm
be clearly people were instructed to take off their face coverings once their test came back not realizing that tests have operating characteristics and there is some rate of false negatives that 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 percussions at the white house had put in place the testing so this. just something that. really should make people who doubt the virulence of this pandemic in the us iris 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 or 2 weeks but even though 2 republicans on the judiciary committee were apparently sickened in the rose garden mcconnell says he'll push ahead with confirmation
