each other of serious violations. and celebrations in kyrgyzstan as a new prime minister is named by the opposition says it will only strengthen the president's grip on power. u.s. president donald trump has held his 1st public event since testing positive for the coronavirus trump address 200 of his supporters from the white house balcony focusing on what he has described as law and order that most of the people attending were part of a campaign urging black americans to leave the democratic party many were not wearing masks despite accusations at the white house hosted a so-called coronavirus super spreader event last month trump use this address to.

discredit covert 1000 locked down policies which brand that unscientific while also attacking democratic presidential candidate joe biden from philly with covert 1000 last week and there are concerns you may still be contagious because he has yet to provide the results of his latest test. well i decided not to attend any white house events on site for safety reasons so white house correspondent kimberly halkett is stationed about a block away and joins me now kimberly as always good to see you know this was billed as an official event not a campaign rally but the president was clearly in campaign mode was any. yeah this president has been eager to hit the campaign trail since contract and covert 19 even as he tested positive it was clear that he was trying to campaign from his hospital bed at times releasing videos on twitter as well as on instagram and other social media platforms it appeared that well he knew he was lagging in

the polls he was spending precious time recovering that could be on the campaign trail so you're absolutely right now even though we don't know exactly when the president 1st tested positive or whether he is now testing negative because of course his physician has not released any of that information his physicians says he is able to resume campaigning now the president has said he wanted to hold a rally even in florida as early as today the campaign says they couldn't get the logistics together so the president is going to have an official appearance and that's what the white house says happened today but you are absolutely right from the moment that donald trump spoke it was very clear this was not an official event but a campaign event where he made the case not only to white suburban voters but also communities of color that if they vote for joe biden they would see their way of life disappear by the control of what he called the radical left take

a listen and i went out to say hello to those people and took a leap forward but i do it again in the region you would do. on behalf of myself or the 1st lady just has been really incredible outpouring and we're starting very very big with our rallies and with our everything because we cannot allow our country to become a socialist nation we cannot let that happen. now the u.s. president has no official of vents on his sunday schedule appears he's going to try and recover at least one more day but all of that changes come monday the u.s. president has announced that he will have large scale rallies where it's not clear if they'll be indoor or outdoor if people will be required to wear masks or not how far the president will be from the people he's speaking before but assume that

these sort of make america great again rallies are set to resume on monday and they'll be one every day up until wednesday so monday tuesday wednesday in 3 different battleground states again though the president not even in the clear in terms of those 14 days of the centers for disease control or c.d.c. guidelines that anyone whose contract it covert 19 should self isolator 14 for 14 days the president clearly within that window but decided to hit the campaign trail regardless absolutely kimberly halkett with the latest there from near the white house kimberly thank you. north korea has the splayed what are believed to be previously unseen intercontinental ballistic missiles the weapons were seen during a parade marking the 75th anniversary of the ruling workers' party bribe reports

t. here's audience he want to show up here a strong leader it is necessary for the kingdom leadership tour or sure educate it and show us north korean population that things will eventually be ok this parade showcased what are thought to be new missiles and transporters with the star of the show what's claimed to be a newly developed into continental ballistic missile it's a reminder that in spite of denuclearization talks with the u.s. north korea has continued to expand its arsenal in recent years future relations between the united states and north korea might be on hold until after the u.s. election but south korea remains optimistic it can still achieve closer into korean 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 but 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. armenia and azerbaijan are accusing each other of seriously violating a cease fire in the future. region as i shan't say that it's carried out air strikes against tanks while armenia has accused its neighbor of killing a civilian near its southeast border town of burnet smith reports.

a new appreciation of the technically advanced and destructive weaponry that their adversary. what has surprised armenians in karabakh is turkey's open support for azerbaijan if one of the results for a direct involvement of told q 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 for forward state strengths and. strengthen our relations with brows of countries russia united states iran and china. in these very town of tarter 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

celebrations were scaled back due to the pandemic president side devoted much of the success of taiwan's response to the virus and took it as an opportunity to highlight that it's an example of the island's resilience and ability to defend itself. hong kong least 8 people have been killed and thousands more have fled the gang violence in refugee camps in southern bangladesh a turf war broke out between criminal groups competing for dominance in the camps which make up the world's largest refugee settlement authorities arrested 12 people after days of gunfire arson and abductions by the gangs which have suspected links to drugs and human trafficking pakistan is the latest country to ban chinese social media app take top following the united states and india the government says take talk has failed to comply with orders to stop what it calls immoral and
