place of refuge. and nickel store on al-jazeera. striding back into the election battle donald trump winds up the crowd in florida rafter getting the all clear on covert 19. c. fortunately i'm not at all 1st of very young going to church. and this is our 0 live from doha also coming up the push to get a new supreme court justice before the election and u.s. senate begins hearings for a macone. we are going to mount as a ceasefire between as

a by john and armenia falters russia tries to get them back to talks. and a delayed start to school for millions of students in nigeria after their class is put off because of the pandemic. as a parent i'm actually excited at the same time a half mixed feelings. u.s. president donald trump is back out with the crowds trying to fire up a campaign interrupted by his own code 19 infection he's been rallying supporters in florida the 1st of several key states he's visiting this week trump took to the stage without a mask after the white house doctor confirmed he tested negative for the virus but shortly before that the nation's top infectious disease expert said the u.s. could face a whole lot of trouble people didn't avoid mass gatherings or failed to wear masks . if you vote for me prosperity will search normal life that's all we were we

wanted normal life will fully resume and the florida tourism and hospitality industries that i know so well will reach a store of 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. 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 rhonda scientists the 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 in 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 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 this supporters bragging about how he was right and how he is now. well there on karl as director of debate at the university of michigan he says trump needs to appeal to voters beyond his base to ensure his reelection. 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 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 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 vaccine or submission and 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 i mean on trump's democratic rival joe biden turned his attention to the battleground state of ohio biden made 2 campaign stops there where he could aside from the playing down the coronavirus threat team up to the president's comments that americans not to panic about the threat of kind of 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 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 now the confirmation hearing for the new u.s. supreme court judge has begun in washington republicans have been pushing to get a macone barrick confirmed ahead of next month's election something that democrats have criticized alan fisher has been following events from capitol hill. the goal to have him equally bonneton the u.s. supreme court before the presidential election the 1st step the senate judiciary committee hearing kicking off 16 days after her formal nomination from the committee chair a lament that politics play such a big part in nominations now 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 many garland nominated to fill a vacancy caused by the death of a conservative justice new hearings in an election year be insisted judge amy corny

but it's 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 said it may be crystal clear that russia has a court nominee. it's more important that helping and supporting the american

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 believed 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 or for that rocco is a political scientist he says republicans have no replacement for the affordable

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. 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 be 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 the law they do just fine but once the details sort of emerge there's not a lot of investment there and that kind of in that kind of expertise and sort o.

class had to blind. this road trying to generate these extremely difficult 3. 111 are on the right people here to denounce what they say is a parallel agenda to protect the vice president cristina fernandez because. in the past few months and in spite of the pandemic the government has tried to pass judicial reform and remove 3 judges involved in the trials of the vice president. government supporters showed up at the president's residence to accuse the protesters of disrespecting argentina's democracy. should they come here to sing the national anthem they don't care about the country they want to remove the president from office we want the elections people want parents and because we help 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 19. this enjoyed a 70 percent approval rating but 7 months on with infections on the rise and the economy in the red the situation has changed the resurgence of the central bank are slowly vanishing and they play so 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 plan and that's a negative cocktail that explains why stocks are down economy showing no signs of recovery there is a lot of mistrust argentina is deeply polarized between supporters of the ruling peronist party and those who oppose it. a division that has cost so much damage in the past. only political dialogue will allow the country to move forward but for now there are a few signs of that happening. now covered

19 could be here to stay that's been the warning from health experts for months but as we near a year since the 1st cases appeared how do we remain vigilant well health officials are concerned the 19 restrictions are creating public for team experts think there's a 3 step middle path that could be applied around the world without the need for repeated lock downs it involves reminding people to keep up the basics of hygiene and physical distancing making sure public health systems focus on tracing cases and tracking outbreaks with better resources and having clearer guidelines that are more consistent between different governments where dr david nabarro is the special envoy on cobra 19 he says people can't afford to be complacent. we don't want everyone to be in lockdown for the foreseeable future but we also think it's very dangerous just to let the virus go where it wants to because we know that that will

lead to overloading of health systems and a lot of death that's why we go for the middle part keeping the virus of play this virus is singleminded it's actually both dangerous and rather deceptive it's dangerous because it can cause a lot of death and it's deceptive because sometimes you're tempted to think it's just very mild and so i'm suggesting to everybody no they don't they should not be wanting to be infected by this virus and they should certainly not we want to give this infection to anybody else it's a very unpleasant constant threat and we have to all of us adapt our lives so that we can live with it and that adapt to ation shouldn't stop us from doing the things we want to do and that's my point if we can get our own behavior right and if we can get the test tracing and isolation services working we'll be able to get on live our lives normally and cope with the fact that the virus is still around and

security and safety of the children in school if students in private schools like this friend better during the coverage maintain disruptions their access to online teaching internet connectivity and computer technology. it's much different from the fact of public school students private schools a better place to strictly enforce safety protocols like the over crowded poorly funded government schools but government schools like in facilities they make up for in an interrupted pay for teachers not so for private schools struggling with finances a government pledge to support businesses to peace talks to happen for many. it was difficult. of cause government couldn't understand it didn't want to be because. it possibly got made so obviously in the world i couldn't make experts are calling for government intervention to make up for lost time to begin to invest.
