disputed election is a now also alexei in the valley points the finger at the kremlin in his 1st television interview while an international watchdog confirms he was poisoned and facebook cracks down on q. and on the american conspiracy group which donald trump has called. so in the past our senior white house advisor steven miller became the latest trump administration official to test positive for cocaine 19 joining a long list of white house officials who are not have the virus among them of course president trump himself the outbreak has also reached the pentagon with a senior u.s. military official testing positive and several others in quarantine among them general mark milley he is the country's senior most military officer. the fear is there could be possible infection from this man specifically admiral charles ray

who is the deputy head of the coast guard he tested positive on monday months ago you might remember there was a covert 19 outbreak among u.s. military personnel about a 1000 sailors tested positive on board that navy ship the commander pleaded for help but was instead find it let's get the latest with mike hanna in washington d.c. i think mike it is becoming easier to count the number of officials who don't have coronavirus at the moment very much so steven miller has been with president tran since he took office one of the few people that has lasted in that particular environment now he's declared that he's tested positive of a few days in quarantine miller's very close to president trump he says chief speechwriter as well as probably one of his closest policy advisers now he joins us long list of people from the white house who have declared positive in recent days among them the press secretary another senior policy adviser hope the press

secretary's aides a number of them at least 3 journalists who work at the lighthouse at the white house the president's chief of campaign manager. this list is growing and growing and growing and clearly there is some issue perhaps it is where the actual source of infection comes from it's not clear at this particular point but i must point out that hoe picks for example tested positive on wednesday last week kaley make and then the press and secretary held a briefing the next day with journalists flouting c.d.c. regulations that anybody who's been in close contact with somebody has contracted the infection should go into self quarantine until a positive or negative test is conducted so certainly they appear to be real reasons why the white house has become what appears to be a petri dish. information these days mike and i use that term

a little bit loosely it's coming from all sorts of places misinformation as well but we see some of the social media networks pushing back against that oh indeed yes well president trump has been tweeting as usual in the course of the day and one of his tweets was given a health warning by twitter in this particular tweet what the man who's just spent 3 days in hospital who told the american public that he's learnt a lot about the coronavirus he said in this particular tweet that in many cases flu is far more fatal than the coronavirus now this quite simply is false and not only is that the case but the president himself knows it's false back in february he told journalist bob woodward that covert 19 was really threatening because it was 10 times more fatal then the flu so hadn't also within the tweet president trump quoted incorrect figures saying that more than $100000.00 people die of the flu in

america each year well actually the figure last year was just around $20000.00 but what is even more surprising and there's a lot of surprising elements in all of this we all constantly surprised the country's top infectious officer dr anthony found she has not been consulted by the white house in a long period of time he was not consulted either when the president was tested positive he was not consulted in terms of the arrangements that should be made in the white house to deal with the results of these ongoing positive infections among white house staff well this is what dr had to say what went on in the white house you know i don't want to and every time i say something that's an issue i wind up spending a lot of time in spring phone calls and e-mails i should say it was not done according to what i would have recommended. now one must remember just

a short while ago that a gardner was held at the white house to announce president trump's nominee for this fake and supreme court seat now more than 200 people attended that. flouting d.c.'s regulation that says no meetings of more than 50 people can take place well the white house says federal territory not bound by d.c. regulations however a very important note on monday 105 new cases were reported in the district of columbia that is the highest number of infections in the past 4 months makes one think. i can or in washington thank you for that update now donald trump has called off negotiations with democrats over a new coronavirus stimulus package until after the election in anson sent u.s. stock markets tumbling democratic presidential nominee joe biden accused trump of

turning his back on the american people house democrats passed a 2.2 trillion dollar relief bill on thursday senate republicans though rejected it let's move on to other news kurdistan a nation on edge with the resignation of the prime minister and widespread protests following sunday's disputed election the early results of which has since been an old by the country's election commission demonstrators have stormed government buildings in the capital bishkek accusing the government of rigging the election in its favor this report is from charles stratford into shock. supporters of various opposition parties celebrate their storming of the parliament building in the cubist capital bishkek protesting parliamentary election results that are given pro-government parties a huge majority opposition supporters accused pro-government parties of widespread vote barring people return to the square where the night before security forces had used sound bombs and tear gas to clear thousands of demonstrators demanding the

government officials post started in 2017 on a chat group but have surged this year on facebook instagram and twitter the q. and on phenomenon has been linked to violence such as reports of kidnapping and claims that corona virus is a hoax you tube says it removed tens of thousands of videos and terminated hundreds of related channels in the last year but several republicans who are running for congress this year are actually human on friendly has some thoughts from larry magid through media expert and c.e.o. of connect safely dot org this is q and on is a threat facebook should have tackled long ago. facebook is on record as acknowledging that this is a conspiracy theory group i mean frankly that they are insane i just don't understand the argument and they can and have led to violence the other situation is they claim that hillary clinton was leading a ring of child molester that of a pizza restaurant in washington d.c. and somebody actually showed up with a rifle and started shooting fortunately i don't think anybody with injured nobody

was killed but the point is that some of the followers are going to take actions into their own hands q not have been very dangerous the other think you and it has done it it's co-opted or hijacked the save the children hash tag save the children of a very legitimate international n.g.o.s that really does save children but they are claiming the children are in danger where they're not in danger and that in fact is putting them in more danger because the organization is designed to protect children have been hampered as a result of q an honest work years ago the motto at facebook was move fast and break things and now it seems like it's break things and move slowly because they should have responded a long time ago to this threat they are finally getting their act together it's taken a while you know today they took down a donald trump post that was felt spreading false information that the covert with no a lot more dangerous than the flu or less dangerous than the flu so they're finally taking action but they've been reluctant because every time they do they get

together their work described characteristics of black holes and super black holes most many times larger than the mass of our sun it wasn't until april last year that the 1st image of a black hole was captured blurry but visible this idea that space which we we experience as humans as separate from time become commingled it's both intriguing and fascinating and i have to say these are the things that kept me up at night when i was a kid andrea geza cheve another milestone by becoming only the 4th woman to win a nobel physics prize so we've been very important to encourage young women and to the sciences. so to me it means an opportunity and a responsibility. to encouraging the next generation of scientists who are passionate about this this kind of work into the field following legends such as albert einstein and stephen hawking the winning trio of scientists.
