8:05 am
be a learning experience for trump. he does have a responsibility to lead and leading in this moment requires leading by example we need people to take this this virus serious we need people to wear masks we need to take with caution to socially distant to be responsible not just for ourselves but responsible for the people around and around us to see the president how awful that elevator and walked up the stairs and it in a show of defiance snatches mask off in front of the american people and then to have this battle around him it just showed a reckless disregard for life and a reckless disregard for the response of realty that he has to demonstrate and to lead by example it's unfortunate and i do think you know i was one of those people that was you know i'm afraid for his speedy recovery are very very he and the 1st lady to do better but i was actually pretty glad when it happened because i thought
8:06 am
it was a moment for america it's a funny look and take this virus serious a moment for him to conduct him so differently and for the people that follow him to conduct their family and unfortunately just politicize this moment in a way that that i'm afraid of going to cause more pain and suffering he will take a political hit for this and he has a base that is then and that is going to continue to follow him there and i and i hope that he wished he would show them we're going to leave charles moron is a republican party strategist he rejects the notion trump is 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 wreak havoc on our society i heard the message i wanted him to hear in time which was this nation needs to. claw back
8:07 am
control. that it really was an inspirational message of you know the damage that the damage the coronavirus beyond just the physical impact of the person who may have it yes the quality of treatment has 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 cocktail that are out there he's getting the same stuff that's available for some of these other patients what he was speaking to tonight was the resolve of the people to not continue to let this disease have the destruction on so many people's lives who are not being touched by. opposition protesters in kyrgyzstan have been demonstrating after rejecting early results of a parliamentary vote they've broken into government in state security headquarters the election commission said on tuesday it will review or request to cancel the
8:08 am
vote result is for addicts pro-government parties will return to power we're speaking to charles stratford in the moment but 1st his reports. started gathering a lot of square in the center of early off to noon opposition leaders called for unity among the various parties and their supporters rejected preliminary results in sunday's parliamentary election that showed pro-government parties potentially winning but 1st team of the 120 seats. demonstrators are demanding the rerun of the poll which one opposition leader described as the dirtiest of the storms history. we are angry of the results because we see the government tricked everybody they created conditions for people to sell the votes allegations of election fraud are widespread as well as reports of parties bribing people for their support at the ballot box and new elections because we don't recognize.
8:09 am
the results of the elections because of widespread fraud and intimidation chester's cianci the president sure called to step down people told us they had not seen any government protesters launches this since the revolution that overthrew president kurmanbek bakiyev in 2010. back then i'm staying here shows that i'm very angry with the results we had a lot of hope in this election and i hope has died. security forces have been transported on buses to a wooded park close to the square. the protesters remain defiant. we can feed the police on the outskirts of the square and if they attack us there will be another revolution. by nightfall the city center square in the field a crowd of protesters trying to break through the gates of the calm of the building
8:10 am
. minutes later security from she's moved in foreign tear gas and stun grenades the crowd fled to the surrounding streets in panic. jarl charles stratford joins us live from bishkek so we understand charles the president has just been speaking what was his message. that's right president by jeenbekov giving a statement national television read out what he said he said that last night some political pull cs made a lawless attempts to take power so i ordered security forces not to shoot he said he said he's also the central election committee to investigate allegations of violations of the election and if necessary to cancel the results he was asking all parties all party leaders to calm down their supporters and asked them to go home
8:11 am
he said he was asking the nation all people to in his words save peace and in a light all provocation all forces he said peace and security is the most important thing for this country. i guess the general feeling this morning sami off to those incredible scenes we saw last night is a great sense of uncertainty mixed with jubilation some of the people we've been speaking to since arriving here this morning i mean big crowds behind me this is the parliament building that was taking control of by protest is last night we understand it was them trying to storm this building that instigates that action by security forces they've been gathering here welcoming some of these leaders politicians who are in jail and have been freed by them there's also large crowds gathering on the main square to my left very little sign of security forces well no sign at all actually that we've seen but people we've spoken to said yes very happy
8:12 am
but some very worried about the general sense of uncertainty here because as you can imagine there is a feeling and all the evidence would suggest that there is nobody really in power at the moment especially when you look at the fact that you know a former president. it was serving an 11 year jail for corruption has been freed so his his pull the prime minister we've seen as i say other politicians being welcomed jubilant crowd noise of celebrations by simple of his ears other politicians have been released from jail and into the parliament building behind me so very very interesting times i think possibly one of the best ways to sum it up. in terms of the feeling of the people here is one man said we all know kazakhs we all know we all know hijacks we have cuba gays and we are proud of our country and if one man dies and we understand that one protester was killed last night and
8:13 am
hundreds injured then we will in his words overthrow the government these people are incredibly politicized very proud of the kind of democratic kroeger. that they've made in the last 10 to 15 years and all intents and purposes charioteer if i. met them those demands yeah i was going to jump in and say you mentioned a really important thing the possibility of election being canceled where would that leave the political process how soon could they have elections. it's actually impossible to. you know i mean the manual the manual count hadn't even been completed how long it's going to take any kind of central election committee organization to pull together another election. there is going to be it's going to be very interesting to see also we haven't heard from
8:14 am
some of the big pro-government parties that did say in the so well according to those those election results of course the people here say we're all fraudulence so we haven't heard from anything anything from from the big power brokers in those pro-government supporters in those pro-government polities saying that there has been seemingly there seem to be reports coming from. another city we believe i think it's in the north of the country yes further north supporters of beer and dick seemingly the the leading candidates in that policy trying to galvanize support the president in that area the situation here at the moment is very very difficult to read so it's almost impossible at the moment just to put time frames on when another election would be held but certainly the crowds here today a testament to just how much they will not stand to being treated badly by
8:15 am
a government that they say is corrupt and has left them in a serious economic crisis. for years by this a very fluid situation and thanks for bringing us what's going on there charles we'll come back to life and out and so much still ahead on al-jazeera. calls for an immediate cease fire as the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan intensifies. we've got signs of colder weather coming in across iraq implemented over the next couple of days account clutching a storms here we are looking at laws a dry fine satellite sunshine for a possible reason got some showers just around the black sea pushing down toward
