no matter i want to see how to. bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you. al-jazeera. an act of bravado as u.s. president removes his mask as he returns to the white house after 3 nights in a hospital with coke at 19. i know there's a risk there's a danger but that's ok and now i'm better maybe i'm a mutant i don't know. you know. this is after the president walked out of the walter reed army medical center unaided to the delight of his supporters.

santa maria here in doha continuing coverage of the u.s. president's departure from hospital we all remain cautiously optimistic. and on guard because we're in a bit of uncharted territory. that's a word of caution from trump's doctors he refuses to commit to when the president can travel to campaign for the election and the virus continues to spread through the white house press secretary katie mcinerney is the latest to test positive. but over a new u.s. president donald trump is back at the white house after spending 3 nights at a military hospital following a diagnosis for covert 19 he was flown by helicopter back to washington where he will continue his treatment but before entering the white house trump stood on the balcony and took off his mask even though his recovery is far from over and he will

receive treatment for a few more days traumas been given experimental drugs and a steroid reserved for the seriously ill but less than a month to the election an easy get to project strength despite his infection or minutes after his return to the white house trump tweeted this video. i learned so much about coronavirus and one thing that's for certain don't let it dominate you don't be afraid of it you're going to beat it we have the best medical equipment we have the best medicines all developed recently and you going to beat it i went i didn't feel so good and 2 days ago i could have left 2 days ago 2 days going felt great like better than i have in a long time i said just recently better than 20 years ago don't let it dominate don't let it take over your lives don't let that happen we have the greatest country in the world we're going back we're going back to work when to be out front and your leader i had to do that i knew this danger to it but i had to do it i

stood out front i led nobody that's a leader would not do what i did and i know there's a risk there's a danger but that's ok and now i'm better and maybe i'm immune i don't know but don't let it dominate your lives get out there be careful we have the best medicines in the world and they're all happened very shortly and they're all getting approved and the vaccines are coming momentarily mike hanna in washington d.c. that was a pretty extraordinary statement wasn't might from someone who has been sick in hospital with the fires for 3 days and he said 24 hours ago that he learned a lot about his. indeed yes well it's a very incredible statement indeed given the fact that you still have a president who is carrying the infection we heard from his doctors there he's not out of the woods yet they are into uncharted territory say of the doctors partially

because of the incredibly mixture of therapeutic drugs that he's been given experimental antiviral cocktails rimmed disappear the steroids so certainly the doctors themselves are saying well this is a pretty unique case in terms of the treatment we've administered we've got to monitor that very closely and yet president trump there appears to be implying that he's already conquered the virus you heard that statement that maybe i'm immune but at the same time we know that he remains infected we don't know when he was actually infected in the 1st place the doctors have declined to say when the president last tested negative which would have given us an idea of the stage in which the disease is in terms of timeline we do know as well from data that have been collected over recent over the past months that the 2nd week of infection is

probably the most serious in terms of the impact on the human body so we're not quite clear where the president trump is yet in that 2nd week yet he's back at his residence at the white house he's taking off his mask and he says don't let the virus dominate you as though he's already conquered it his residence as you say might put a lot of other people who work there don't they and there must be a huge concern about a person different the president returning knowingly with this virus. indeed yes you must remember there's some 800 personal staff in the residence that is the valet is the battlers the cookers the cooks the cleaners so there's a lot of people in that very confined space in a way let alone the workers in the west wing itself and as we've seen there's been a massive uptick in cases the press secretary being the latest to declare positive along with 2 of the systems so certainly the white house itself as an entire city

has been showing an increase in infections you now have a infected person added to that mix the president trump along with his wife melania so certainly great concern for those who work there but i must just mention as well kemal the fact must not be forgotten that the president is in recuperation it would appear he is recovering but at the moment the virus is continuing to rage throughout the rest of the country in $34.00 states it is still on the increase in terms of cases and in the past 24 hours more than $40000.00 cases confirmed and that is a daily total that we've seen over months so the virus is very far away from disappearing and still dominates despite what the president is very good point to make when we focus just on one man so many more thousands being infected as well thank you mike hanna in washington well donald trump's doctor provided to his assessment of the

president's health before he was discharged from hospital but declined to share any results of his lung scans sean conley said the truck that trump would not be fully out of the woods for at least another week and the treatment would continue at the white house over the past 24 hours the president has continued to improve he's met or exceeded all standard hospital discharge great area to receive another dose of him does appear here today and then we plan to get him home. it's been more than 72 hours since his last fever. oxygen levels clothing ambulatory saturations and his work breathing or all normal. though he may not entirely be out of the woods yet the team and i agree that all are evaluations and most importantly he's clinical status support the president safe return home where he'll be surrounded by world class medical care 247 we'll talk to them is a senior vice president of vaccine research and development blue willow biologics

who we spoke to and he says it's irresponsible of donald trump to downplay the threat of the virus. this president that he acts practice and experience this horrible disease he and he still practicing he's he's talking about 20000000 people that have affordable care act that he's going to be trying to identify and those people will be of any health insurance so what he get is a get the best in the world of fear but there are millions and millions of people american people that they will not be able to afford any of this so therefore to call them and say get out and they don't get big over 19 dominate your life and don't be afraid and so forth that is not a call that you would like to hear from a president or from a leader that people are looking up to you know he's the president even if you don't vote for him he is your president and therefore he has to calm down

a little bit and really start there being reasonable in his cause to the people and core to the to the masses that aren't big here be careful you know don't expose other people too dangerous a disease with 19 is not an easy disease not a simple one it's not them times more or lethal of them the the flu and we know the flu is a huge public health problem so it took all of that covert 19 is afraid from overnight you know you should have 3 to should take all the precautions needed in order not to get infected don't be a hero and get infected just make sure that you have your mask on and you have all the precautions needed in order not to be exposed to this virus with us now from woodbridge virginia as a few stones to either the editor in chief of max black politics a digital news platform that looks at black side of politics thank you for your time ever since what did you think of any what did you think when you see the

president land. and he walks off the helicopter he goes up the steps in the 1st thing he does is take his mask off it was a horrible display of leadership in fact it was the epitome of lack of leadership it was irresponsible and extremely dangerous it shows someone who has reckless disregard for human life and unfortunately he is the person that has the charge of leading this nation would you have thought maybe that this experience 3 days in hospital funding with the virus. might have changed his view and he said that himself he said i've learned a lot you know i've been to school i think was the line there. and then almost the 2nd he was out there all seem to be forgotten. well learning a lot is relative right it because it has to do with where you're starting from mean if you're starting from 0 going from 0 to one might be considered a lot right but clearly he hasn't learned enough to know that this is

a disease that is deadly to a degree that we are really doing a horrible job as a nation in terms of fighting it or i guess i'll give him i'll give him some some leeway here and say he knows we know from the interview that he did with a book that just recently came out that he understands how dangerous and deadly this disease is but he chooses to lie about it consistently and so what we're seeing today is more of his lives which he attempts to use to rally his specific base but also cover up his complete and ep to tude when it comes to devising a strategy that's meant to attack this disease in america in a way that ultimately will save people's lives what do you think about impact on the election itself lest we forget that we're just a month away from the presidential election this is probably not the kind of thing

which will sway his base very little dolls do you think it can right have an impact on those undecided voters or maybe people who voted for him last time and now i think you know what social. i think that obviously his people are with him no matter what he does i think that it is a very clear description to call them a cult he seems to have a cult of followers who literally will be with him even if he shoots a personal who or kills 200000 americans because of his lack of leadership that clear but in terms of what this will mean a for those independent voters maybe people who didn't vote at all last time set out the last election maybe those people on the left that are already excited about getting rid of him i think if anything it sort of galvanizes those forces together as well as a number of republicans or at least former republicans that are disgusted with what

he has done to their party what we will see i believe in november is a coalition that is unlike anything that we've seen in this nation since the obama coalition and it's my prediction that he will lose resoundingly if the votes are counted in a fair way and that is a big if because we do know that this man is not at all above cheating just a quick thought on the campaign ahead that there is a vice presidential debate later this week already we're hearing that apparently joe biden sorry mike pence and calm the house will be behind plexiglass for that how could can all of this change that the other debates to come the campaign that's left. well it will be interesting to see what happens in this upcoming debate you know vice president pence was supposedly in charge of the coronavirus response and apparently he was an abysmal failure at it because we have the worst coronavirus

rate in the entire world and when it comes to the other 2 debates we know that as much as trump wants to wish this away even when he took the mask off tonight he appeared to be labored in his breathing now as it was mentioned earlier we really don't know the truth about really when he may have contracted the disease so maybe he is on the tail end of it having not been truthful around when he actually contracted it but if not it's a possibility that things could get worse before they get better that means that those last 2 debates that are currently on the calendar might in fact be up for grabs that they may or may not happen depending upon his health i just don't so we have a joining us from virginia today thanks for your time we do appreciate it thanks for having me earlier i spoke to charles moran a republican party strategist who rejects the notion that trump is again

downplaying the virus i heard the president's restating tonight that this is a virus that is dangerous but it is not deadly it is it is lethal but it is only up to a point where we let it have you know a recount because our society i've heard the message i want in the hearing on which was this nation needs to. claw back control. it really was it is the racial message of the damage that the damage the coronavirus beyond just the physical impact of the person may have it yes the quality of treatment is higher the oversight is clearly higher i believe that he you know received the best care that you could have in the united states but in terms of some of the drugs and the cocktails that are out there he's getting the same stuff that's available through some of these other patients what he was

speaking to tonight was the result of the people to not continue to let this disease have the destruction on so many people's lives were not being. well the white house press secretary kenny mckinnon he's become the latest u.s. official to test positive for corona virus mcinerney says she's experiencing no symptoms but 2 of her deputies have also been infected among more than a dozen people connected to the white house have tested positive in recent days. in the news ahead to agger on the streets of congress sounds capitol after a disputed parliamentary vote. and calls for an immediate cease fire as the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan intensify its.

. do with al-jazeera these are the top story u.s. president don't trump is back in the white house after spending 3 nights in hospital following his coronavirus diagnosis before entering his official residence he took off his mask even though he still carries the virus. walked out of the walter reed medical center on aided and boarded a helicopter for the white house his supporters that gathered to cheer him on trump tweeted saying he'd be back on the campaign trail soon. but the white house correspondent kimberly halkett spoke to some trump supporters who are camped outside the walter reed medical center i think that if they put it in his armor and this may be true but then again we think the other side of the coin is people might be inspired by him coming out really strong showing strength and

a lot of america probably if you go both ways it cuts both ways his amazing best in the world medical would not release him without everybody being on the same page for him to go. i believe that once he gets home well he never stops working he was doing work the whole time he doesn't stop he's a machine and he's going to continue to. keep making this country great so president comes out of hospital but across america cases of coronaviruses still on the rise on friday johns hopkins university reported 54000 new infections the worst day since mid august in a pandemic that's already claimed the lives of 210000 americans support from john hendren in washington. as pandemic cases spike across the u.s. new york's governor is it all ends with new york city's mayor over a plan coronavirus crackdown. governor andrew cuomo sped up
