9:06 pm
911 a therapist should answer the call that doesn't work the that doesn't work but this is the people telling him what because he doesn't say he's told what to say you so what they introduced today they've gone through a period of years no fracking no fracking no fracking all of a sudden gets a nomination he says is going to be fracking. for pennsylvania oklahoma texas north dakota all of you there will be if it happens all of those jobs are gone your energy jobs are gun if they get in just remember i said it ok just remember biden i don't think so either was this has been was and i have to say there's been more enthusiasm we have had more enthusiasm right now right now the this year was than we had 4 years ago by a factor of 3 times it was we had a lahore and they had none they have no enthusiasm
9:07 pm
the they have no enthusiasm in fact the gap is so incredible in a poll just came out i think it said 56 percent of the people prefer their position now in the midst of a pandemic than they did 4 years ago think of what that manse 56 and it's a gallup poll and it's the highest poll ever recorded 56 percent of the now tell me about that now we had it going and we really had it going in then the plague came in from china but we're getting rid of that and we're rebuilding it and it's going to be better than it was even before i was at the homes and churches and businesses are black and hispanic americans have been looted you know that they've been vandalized and burned by left wing fanatics total bad people they know what they're doing yet biden likes to call them peaceful protesters you see people.
9:08 pm
you see anchors from a couple of the very bed very corrupt network said and behind them the cities are burning in this saying these are peaceful protests and you look and everything's on fire the. and i want to thank our law enforcement and i want to thank everybody in the community in the community drives out working with law for us to i want to thank god i think we probably have the support of every law enforcement group in this country practically i don't know of any that i don't maybe there must be some there must be one they'll find one tonight they'll say no he misrepresented 6 to eat but we have a level of support the likes of which nobody's i don't think ever seen before i don't think so and you can see that was and you see how many crooked ballots are being found and turned back in fraudulent just what i said. then they'll say he doesn't believe in freedom i totally believe in freedom that's called freedom what
9:09 pm
we're doing is freedom the owner mendez problems with the ballots 50000 in ohio 25000 you have to see it i mean every day there's a story about ballots some thrown out they happen to have the name trump military ballots were thrown out with the name trump on them ok but i think we're going to swamp them by so much hopefully it's not going to matter and we have law enforcement watching was we have law enforcement watching all those ballots being found for a reason left wing politicians like tamala or asu really did not do very well the other. by the way did our vice president do a good job kandice the law it was easy for him now i did a great job because we're on the side of right we really were on the side of right and by the way we are and it's true and i say it i say it all the time now more and
9:10 pm
more we are draining the swamp like nobody in history has of the old nobody in history has ever. we're here today to deliver a united message to police officers all across our great land that american. and i mean every american every race color we love you every race color creed we support you we honor you it's a dangerous profession they've been doing an incredible job and i just want to thank them on behalf of everybody here today because that's why we're so. you're watching the u.s. president donald trump he's holding his 1st public event since being hospitalized for coronavirus last week he's holding that event at the white house speaking from the balcony of the white house and this despite uncertainty over his health and more than 2000 guests are there at the white house and he's been discussing law and order he's also been speaking out against his democratic contender joe
9:11 pm
biden he's thanked his supporters for their prayers and he did say that scientists will help the u.s. get rid of the virus china virus as he called it while he was speaking and we had al jazeera have decided not to be attend any white house events on site for safety reasons due to the coronavirus cases there so let's bring in our washington d.c. correspondent our white house correspondent that is kimberly halakhah joining us from washington and kimberly is a block away from where the president is addressing his supporters kimberly what are what are we to make of this event and what is the ultimate goal here. well 1st of all i think it's important to know. is strongly discouraged that the white house the people's house be used for campaign events that's exactly what the president is doing it should be noted that he was hopeful and his doctor had
9:12 pm
cleared him to begin campaigning he even suggested he would hold a rally in florida as recently as today he said he was unable to do that because of logistics and then this hastily called addressed from the white house which the white house press office insists is not a campaign event was organized but what we can tell you is from listening to this it certainly sounds like a campaign event because no sooner had the president kind of addressed his illness than the fact that he was back in that the risk going to be a need to combat cope with 19 but he is technically still recovering from but the president launched in against his opponent sensually making the argument that everything that joe biden the democratic presidential nominee stands for will hurt the people that were gathered to listen to the president namely african-americans and latinos so this is a strong push by this president to get this demographic that traditionally has voted for the democratic party not the republican party donald trump believes that
9:13 pm
he did a lot to improve the outlooks and the economic prospects of many communities of color and for a time the statistics actually supported that but we now know since cope with 1000 has hit that in fact communities of color have been hurt disproportionately more so the president is promising look i did it for you once i'll do it again if you vote for joe biden he is not going to support you the way i promise to support you so that's the gist of this again sounding very much like a campaign message not sort of what we were expecting which is something a bit more unifying for all communities in the united states with respect to the challenge that all americans face economically in terms of their health in fighting cope with 19. that of course the president himself is battling for more than a week and kimberly here's the thing the american public still hasn't really gotten clarity or the answer is that they need when it comes to president trump his health
9:14 pm
and his diagnosis and if he in fact has tested negative or nah. that's absolutely right and you'll notice there that the president is separated from the crowd that may be because there is no and we can only speculate because we haven't given a clear answer but that may be why the president is not near the crowd which as you probably noticed some wearing masks some not wearing masks and for the most part tightly packed so. you're you're right we don't know when the president was officially diagnosed we only know when he made his diagnosis public we also know that the president has recovered faster than anyone else in the united states when it comes to cope at 19 he's also though had experimental therapies which could pose some side effects and he has underlying health conditions so there still is this possibility of a relapse but the president says he feels better than he ever has and in fact just just announced that he will hold rallies not just on monday wish we knew but also
9:15 pm
tuesday and also wednesday so he is going full steam ahead no official events on the calendar for tomorrow as of yet but that could change but certainly after that this president is in full cambridge campaign mode with just a little more than 3 weeks but again until election day but again we don't know from the president's position because there has been no transparency throughout this process just what the status of the president's health is whether he has any lingering damage because we also were given his long scan so we're really left to speculation at the words of the president who insists that he's ok to hit the campaign trail and that he's back ok kimberly thank you very much for the time being so that is the president speaking right now at the white house his 1st public event since he was released from the hospital after being diagnosed with corona virus and let's just take a look at how the last few days have played out for the president so he tweeted on
9:16 pm
october 2nd that he and the 1st lady had tested positive for covert 19 just hours after his close aide hope he's later transported to the walter reed military. so out of an abundance of caution that's according to his team in the rose garden ceremony for supreme court nominee amy coney barrett is quickly identified as a possible super spreader event well despite mixed messages about the president's health he returned to the white house on monday he told americans not to be afraid or dominated by the virus a 2nd debate against joe biden has now been canceled after trump refused to hold a virtually the presidential debate commission says the final debate which is scheduled for october 22nd however is still on let's bring in eric he's an author and political analyst he's joining us from washington d.c. hi there eric thanks for your time with us what sirrah initial reaction to this event taking place right now at the white house the 1st public event for the president since his diagnosis to words he's back the
9:17 pm
president is now speaking to this very raucous very energized crowd and we know that now as carefully as mentioned the president has a pretty packed schedule next week where he will be back on the campaign trail in gauging with his audiences in these in person rallies and we don't know if the president is coded positive or negative but for the president it doesn't matter and clearly for his base it doesn't matter to them either the president is willing to get out in front of these audiences and they are more than willing to have him so clearly what we are seeing is a president with less than $25.00 days left until the election is going full steam ahead to try to make his case and somehow try to close the gap in the polls between himself and his opponent former vice president joe biden yes so does a move like this then actually help his campaign. well if we look at what the polling data is showing especially in a battleground state like florida i think the answer is no senior citizens are
9:18 pm
moving away from this president and drolls they overwhelmingly do not like the president's handling of cold that night but more importantly the way the president has handled his own health and has been less than transparent about his situation does not instill confidence particularly in that most vulnerable group and florida is a state that president needs to win in order to secure election on november 3rd not necessarily for joe biden but the president needs that state and so not only are we seeing senior citizens moving away from the president but also suburban and college educated white me and those are the 3 groups the president absolutely needs in order to get back in this rates and eric let me just ask you about joe biden because. i'm just saying right now a new there's according to the news the campaign's campaign statements from joe biden is that he in fact tested negative for cope with 19 i'm reading on saturday
9:19 pm
so his campaign has just put out this statement but for joe biden he's clearly making donald trump's health and coronavirus a campaign issue because in las vegas on friday he criticized the president's according to him reckless personal conduct and was saying that it was having a destabilizing effect on the government's. you know this was a situation where the biden campaign always wanted to play on this platform they knew that nie majority of americans did not like the president's handling of colin 90 and the fact that the president not only contract at the virus but did so in a way where he did not social distance did not wear a mask and now has been less than forthcoming about his treatment and also about his health it only continues to burnish this narrative for pres for former vice president joe biden that the president simply cannot lead on this issue and based
9:20 pm
on what the polling data is showing us americans overwhelmingly agree and we also have to remember right now american are actually voting their early voting either in person or their mailing in their ballots so there's not much time for the president if he's going to turn this around to do so because again so many people have requested ballots and by the time that final debate takes place we can expect millions of americans will have already voted all right eric ham thank you for joining us and thanks for your analysis thank you. now twitter is imposing new rules to stop candidates in november as u.s. election from prematurely declaring victory on its platform the social media firm says it's cracking down on misinformation and on calls for political violence in the days surrounding the vote tweets that falsely claim a candidate has won will be labeled and will direct users to the official u.s.
9:21 pm
election results page. in other news armenia and azerbaijan are accusing each other of violating a deal aimed at pausing fighting over the disputed nagorno-karabakh region the ceasefire was announced by russia on friday after 10 hours of talks in moscow it allows both sides to exchange prisoners and recover bodies for and it's spread through ports from stepanek hurts. step and i curtis taken a battering these last 2 weeks as a by john has thrown the latest high tech israeli and turkish supplied weaponry at this town and the surrounding areas of nagorno-karabakh the ceasefire has allowed people to risk emerging from their shelters. a cease fire is good certainly good but the problem must be solved you can't have a cease fire and several years later war again
9:22 pm
a cease fire must solve the problem that is already independence. independence is very unlikely this is internationally recognized as azerbaijani territory but it's governed by ethnic armenians a previous ceasefire lasted more than 26 years but the status of nagorno karabakh went on resolved a ceasefire allows both sides to assess the capabilities of each other and for the armenians there must be a new appreciation of the technically advanced and destructive weaponry that the adversary hands. what has surprised armenians in karabakh is turkey's open support for azerbaijan if one of the results were a direct involvement of told keep and i don't see that told his going to pull out from the region it means that we have to somehow you know change some geopolitical approaches so far with state strength. for the string strengthen our
9:23 pm
relations with brows of countries but also. the united states iran and china. in the is very town of tartar these buildings were hit by armenian artillery before the ceasefire we don't support the ceasefire our enemy shall face what they deserve maybe 10 times more than what they did to us before. these were homes built for some of the 10s of thousands of his areas displaced from territory next to karabakh that armenia talk in the 199124 war now they're on the move again are we. international community oystein newsgroup which yours should take responsibility and transforms it current momentum to change the momentum of state school it is a durable peace is it to have focus on israel of armenian troops from so-called might that it was a bridge up russia says armenia and azerbaijan have agreed to substantive peace
9:24 pm
talks for them to work both sides will have to make the sort of compromises on territorial sovereignty that they've never been willing to make before. we let it burn its myth al-jazeera is to panic nagorno-karabakh well this is the most violent flare up the region has seen since the 2 former soviet republics went to war from 1988 to 1994 so what does each side have at its disposal while the as a re army is bigger than armenia's azerbaijan has 66000 active troops while armenia has just 45000. also has the advantage when it comes to weapons baku can field over 600 tanks compared to armenians 500 armenia doesn't have its own fighter aircraft and relies on the protection of a russian air force group as a base john is stronger in the air with fighter jets and more attack aircraft and helicopters but it's drone warfare that appears to be shaping the battlefield this
9:25 pm
time as a base and has openly bragged about its use of advanced turkish drones both sides have been amassing their own fleets though the exact numbers are unknown to me the moment over as a regional analyst for the cox region she says it would take a lot more external interference to really make a difference in the conflicts right now. i think we have to understand that as a bunch on has been pro-choice thank weapons from israel turkey which is a nato country and russia for the last i would say 30 years especially from russia which means that the weaponry that we have seen on the ground in the horn of karbala and in the surrounding areas are not the weapons that are the bridge on per chase 2 weeks ago. so it's not even turkish involvement if you will in this conflict militarily wouldn't affect the balance of powers either because as your wonderful reporting just mentioned there by johnny army has been
9:26 pm
much more well pat it's much more numerous and it had a great support clearly without russia's support for i mean. i don't think i mean i would be able to even stay in the conflict zone because we have seen reports about clearly civilian population leaving and we're knickerbocker now and the areas where the shelling has been taken place clearly russia is to quitting armenia by providing this weapons to the free. and but even that would not i would say significantly change the balance on the ground if armenia wants to seriously advance i suppose without more russia's interference in the call it wouldn't be able to do so. north korea has displayed new intercontinental ballistic missiles they were unveiled during a parade marking the 75th anniversary of the ruling workers' party the u.s.
9:27 pm
labeled the display disappointing called on pyongyang to resume talks over a complete denuclearization rob mcbride reports from seoul. an impressive show of force through the streets of pyongyang this parade down usually held at night time adding to the sense of drama no social distancing and no masks in sight so liberating the country's continued claims to be free of coronavirus visibly moved leader kim jong un praised his country's efforts in keeping the virus out. i'm really grateful that not a single person is infected we manage to protect the people from this contagion. north korea has also been hit by devastating typhoon and summer rains damage that kim is reported to have taken personal charge in dealing with and it's exacerbated

9:29 pm
ties that's despite a number of setbacks in recent months. souring relations culminated in the destruction of a liaison office by north korea in june and the cutting of communication hotlines between the north and south but kim says he still holds hopes of reconciliation so no you can't put i wish the best for the people in the south in a fast recovery from the pandemic so that we can hold hands together soon came also apologized for failing to meet his people's expectations in a sign of humility not often exhibited by a north korean leader. the country may be suffering from problems on many fronts but none of that was on show on this night of mcbride al jazeera. so. thousands of protesters in israel have defied kovan $1000.00 restrictions to demand prime minister benjamin netanyahu resign over corruption charges they're also angry over

emergency in this session however a state of emergency is active for the next 3 days starting from 9 o'clock this evening and if parliament has not approved that state of emergency decree to extend it within 3 days then the decree becomes no and void so as i say it just does seem as if certainly lord older does seem to be returning the other very interesting thing that has come from this parliamentary session is the endorsement officially of the new prime minister this man soldered to power all of that a lot of people have been speaking very disparagingly of he was freed by protesters his supporters. in the post-election chaos on monday night he was serving an 11 year jail term for kidnapping. he all week has been. basically calling. quite outspoken he's considered to have very sort of nationalist tendencies
