talks. and argentina is raise their voices against government reforms $100.00 of the coronavirus and the. u.s. president donald trump is back out with the crowds trying to fire up a campaign interrupted by his coded 19 infection he's been rallying supporters in florida the 1st of several key states he's visiting this week trump took the stage without a mask after the white house doctor confirmed that he tested negative for the virus but shortly before the nation's top infectious disease expert said the u.s. could face a whole lot of trouble if people didn't avoid mass gatherings or fail to wear masks . if you go from a prosperity will search normal life that's all we want we wanted normal life will fully reserve. and the florida tourism and hospitality industries that i know so
6:02 am
well will reach historic new highs highs like they've never reached before by the would terminator recovery delay the vaccine prolonging the pandemic and annihilate florida's economy with a draconian unscientific lockdown that's what you want to do lock it down. mark it down everybody and you know what if you don't feel good about going out stay relaxed stay you know the risk groups you know the older people see fortunately i'm not an old person very young going to church for. but i'll just be gallagher has been following developments from miami florida. if you are watching this rally tonight as a medical professional someone from the center for disease control and prevention you would be horrified not only was president not wearing a mask that's not unexpected but the crowds that gathered in front of them and there were a few 1000 were packed together many of them following the example of their president and the thing that really caught my eye was as ron the scientists the
6:03 am
florida governor came into the crowd he was high 5 ing people in the crowd as he walked along and then you could clearly see him put his hand to his face so all this flies in the face of any medical guidelines as to how to behave during a pandemic now president trump himself seems to be falling back to health you heard him there yelling out that he's going to make america great again but this is a state that he simply must win incidentally i think one of the lines here that's going to catch everybody is that president trump says he's once again immune and want to go out into the crowd and kiss everybody that is just a shocking thing for the president of the united states to say in the middle of a pandemic where many states are seeing rising cases over 210000 people have died and flu season is almost upon us he also told his supporters that he was right all along he congratulated the people of florida for reopening their economy and things here aren't that great either remember at one point this was the epicenter of the
6:04 am
coronavirus epidemic and things are still pretty bad he getting about 2000 cases a day the positivity rate is still around 10 percent and yet this is president trump in his element with his supporters bragging about how he was right and how he is now new meanwhile trams democratic rival joe biden turned his attention to the battleground state of ohio biden made 2 campaign stops there where he criticized trump for playing down the coronavirus threat and he mocked the president's comments that urged americans not to panic about the threat of covert 19 ask yourself. why do you not tell the country or what how much better off are to be had he told the country. he said nothing. he told bob woodward they didn't want to panic the american public. americans don't panic trump
6:05 am
panic. trump is no want to panic just reckless personal conduct since his diagnosis as well as been unconscionable. and the longer donald trump is president the more reckless he gets well aaron kollie is director of debates at the university of michigan he says trump needs to appeal to voters beyond his base to ensure his re-election. these rallies generally are with his base people that are predisposed to vote for him likely voted for him in 2016 but in order to win reelection he's going to need to reach out further than that to moderate independent voters maybe people that voted for barack obama in 20082012 were disaffected voted for president trump in 2016 but then went democratic in 2018 the president's done a great job with his base but it's only between 30 and 40 percent and he needs that additional 5 to 10 percent of independents and moderates and he needs to get his message a little bit further he's been off the campaign trail for 12 days and this is the most important time right now there's only about 3 weeks until the election so they
6:06 am
have to get him out there these all these campaign rallies they also register new voters and get voters activated and so i think a big part of it is trying to get people that maybe didn't even vote for him in 2016 but are interested in the message i'm coming to the rally with friends to get them to sign up and vote they need an even larger turnout of his base supporters white voters those without a college degree that are typically considered his base even more to turn out and register to vote that did in 2016 for him to have any chance of winning reelection seniors are skeptical how seriously president trump is treating credit iris and what his plan is going forward in terms of you know masks and contact tracing and even vaccines are a submission in and they're the most vulnerable and so yes a signal like this is not positive and seniors are a big part of the voting constituency in florida and so it doesn't send the right message and and seniors could determine this election if not florida but other states are crucial because they're such dependable voters now it's

a hearing democratic politicians in the u.s. didn't want to happen before next month's election but republicans have begun pushing ahead with van plans to confirm supreme court judge nominee and the county ballot if confirmed she took place ruth bader ginsburg who died last month on fish has been following events on capitol hill in washington d.c. . the goal to have amy quiney bennett on the u.s. supreme court before the presidential election the 1st step the senate judiciary committee hearing 16 days after her formal nomination from the committee chair a lament that politics plays such a big part in nominations no the bottom line is justice ginsburg when asked about this several years ago said that a president serves 4 years not 3. there's nothing unconstitutional about this process this is a vacancy this occurred 4 years ago republicans refused to even hold hearings for judge merrick garland nominated to fill a vacancy caused by the death of
6:08 am
a conservative justice no healing's in an election year he insisted judge to make money by its nomination will almost certainly imagine from the committee even if democrats boycott the final vote that will send it to the fill senate for confirmation and that's where the democrats are going to do what they can to stop this going through 2 republican senators have already said they would vote to confirm the democrats are hoping they can use public pressure to flip to others to block a vote in the fool senate and they're using what they see as a threat to the affordable health care act due to go to the court one week after the election health care coverage for millions of americans is at stake with this nomination republicans finally realized also on the committee the democratic vice presidential nominee kamel hardass who insisted the senate should be dealing with more pressing issues than the supreme court that may be crystal clear that rushing a supreme court nominee. is more important than helping and supporting the american
6:09 am
people who are suffering from a deadly pandemic at a devastating economic crisis and nothing but the truth so help you god and then it was time to hear from amy cooney but it herself she said quote can't write every wrong i chose to accept the nomination because i believe deeply in the rule of law and the place of the supreme court and our nation. i believe americans of all backgrounds deserve an independent supreme court that interprets our constitution and laws as they are written so no the lines are drawn for the committee republicans believe they have the votes democrats believe they have public support the next 2 days will be contentious contrary and politically divisive as the supreme court becomes a political battleground in the presidential election alan fischer al jazeera washington well for brooke i was a political scientist he says republicans have no replacement for the affordable
6:10 am
care act if it's repealed if you go back to 2017 and look at what republicans put forward in that sentient of congress i mean this is something where republicans for years had said we want to repeal the ac a replace it with something better but when it came to actually thinking about what the contents of that would be republicans really had invested a lot in the policy expertise necessary to to draft a piece of legislation that wouldn't really just summarily cut many people off of the benefits that they receive from the a c. and wipe away the protections for preexisting conditions so i think the you know when it comes to the commiseration the real value of talking about the a.c.f. for them is as long as it's in the sort of symbolic realm talking about obamacare rather than the actual practical details of why they do just fine but once the details sort of emerged there's not

people these people don't care about the core. in march argentina was one of the 1st countries in the region to impose a lockdown to prevent the spread of covert $1000.00 precedent this enjoyed a 70 percent approval rating but 7 months on with infections on the rice and the economy in the red the situation has changed the resurgence of the central bank are slowly vanishing and the currency continues to lose value analysts say the main problem is lack of confidence in the government. there is no trust and there is no physical panic and that's a negative cocktail that explains why stocks are down economy showing no signs of recovery there is a lot of mistrust. i didn t. know is deeply polarized between supporters of the ruling peronist party and those who oppose it don't look for a division that has cost so much damage in the past. only political dialogue will
6:21 am
allow the country to move forward but for now there are few signs of that happening there are several. one of england's biggest cities as and placed under tight restrictions as part of a new tiered system to tackle coronavirus movement in liverpool will be limited and pubs that they close down other northern cities had managed to avoid the tough measures but if their infection rates keep rising they could be next john holl reports now from newcastle upon tyne. clubs and bars in northern england are living on borrowed time in liverpool those not serving food will be forced to close from wednesday night the city falling under the highest risk category of a new 3 tier system of covert 19 restrictions announced by the prime minister in recent months we have worked with local leaders to counter local spikes with targeted restrictions. but this local approach has inevitably produced different sets of rules in different parts of the country that are now complex to understand
6:22 am
and to enforce infection rates are soaring in parts of the north and other cities like manchester and leeds and newcastle interior to know they could be next but critics question the science behind bans on the hospitality sector already struggling to survive but we've seen what's happened over the last 4 weeks or school this big gulp sewage and it coincides i don't think coincidentally with the return of students with 3 to one of the children to school it has yet to be sure and. where in this deal there is not available it's not been presented where this alleged suddenly increase within hospital is common i think it's very convenient science and there are questions about the effectiveness of these measures including travel restrictions and bans on household mixing with evidence that the national test and trace system has failed to trace contacts effectively
6:23 am
and to enforce isolation the government has promised to confer more power on local authorities who say they can do the job better here in newcastle there's relief that they've escaped tier 3 for now but there's also a lingering worry that the rules seem to overlook another big threat the enormous rate of infection among students universities in the north with the crowded halls of residence have been huge drivers of infection rates are said to be up to 7 times higher than surrounding areas after students were encouraged to return to campus last month there's plenty of blame to go around here and from the university's point of view i think they were told we're going to have a world class testing trace facility we're going to have this we're going to have that and so forth and we actually have those things that we were told would and may and june and so forth and the decisions that they made might have worked out by and
