anti-israel event seen a very strong anti—israel event in congress was not it was unthinkable seven or eight or ten yea rs unthinkable seven or eight or ten years ago. and now they are into a whole different thing between omar and aoc. i say aoc plus three. add them on. you have, i mean the things they say about israel are so bad. i can't believe it. so i would be interested to see that. because they go after christian churches but they don't tend to go after mosques. and i don't want them to go after mosques. but i do want to see what their vengeance. mr president i was suggesting that imams wouldn't follow social distancing? know. i think, ijust had a call with ministers, rabbis, we had a tremendous call with the faith leaders. no i don't think that it all. iam leaders. no i don't think that it all. i am somebody that believes in faith. and it matters not what your

faith. and it matters not what your faith is but our politicians seem to treat different phase very differently. and they seem to think, i don't know what happened with our country but the christian faith is treated much differently than it was. and i think it's treated very unfairly. mr president, the protection programme saying it —— saved in estimated 15,000 jobs the democrats specifically, nancy pelosi have been blocking that funding. do you know why speaker pelosi is dragging her feet on that? and she thinks it's politics i don't think it's good politics. nancy pelosi is been blocking, she was been blocking, and i think they think it's good politics. i don't think it's good politics. i don't think it's good politics was to buy think it's good politics was to buy think it's bad politics. but i don't care about the politics. it's so great for our country because we are going to have all of these companies. you know, let's face the same but essentially, the same power all of

these small businesses added together as the big companies. it's about 50—50. and it so important. and they will be scattered if we weren't able to do what we're doing. essentially, where giving the small businesses that won't make it. they can't because they're close. we're giving them money to take care of their employees so that when they open they can get back to business been a very popular plan. even with democrats i think it base said they passed unanimously twice, the first section which is 350 billion. so we try to get 250. nancy pelosi is barking at she sits in san francisco overlooking the ocean and she doesn't want to come back. she doesn't want to come back. she doesn't want to come back. she doesn't want to come back to dc. she's gotta get back and get this thing approved. it's very important. you praised the american people for doing their bit over the last few weeks, but what goes through your mind when you see photographs of crowded beaches in florida, is that

a concern when these restrictions are lifted? as i described, we metro by mentoring county by county, so i would have to think that with a specific county and look at their case rates. i believe the governor and the public health system that florida has, they have some of the best cou nty florida has, they have some of the best county public health individuals i have ever had to deal with. they are amazing, because i had to work with them under hiv aids. so if the county health directors believe that that is appropriate for their county, then i'm not going to second judge in individual‘s approach to this. i can't see into every single county and see their rates, i can just see that there are no cases, so i don't know if that's a county with very small cases or not, but i think their county health official with no. many of the counties, as you know, are really free of this horrible enemy. so we are opening

up. you will be seeing a lot of this country up. you will be seeing a lot of this cou ntry started up. you will be seeing a lot of this country started to open up fairly quickly, yes, please? thank you, mr president. you mentioned the importance of social distancing, but, for example, stephen who you appointed to you or open the country task force is organising a protest in wisconsin, but aren't they, in essence , in wisconsin, but aren't they, in essence, protesting your very own guidelines? we have a flexibility. i didn't see what stephen said can i can tell you what he is a very good economist, he has been calling shot stomach limit he said "we need to be the rosa parks of government injustices." there is a lot of injustice. when you look at virginia, where they want to take your guns away, they want to violate your guns away, they want to violate your second amendment, when you look at it, i mean... look, i'm getting along very nicely with the governor of michigan, but she has things, don't buy paint, don't buy roses, she has got all of these crazy things. i really believe somebody sitting in their boat on a lake should be ok. they shouldn't arrest

people. some of them are being unreasonable, i really believe that. they are being unreasonable. but i think virginia is a great case though, because they are using this, they are trying to take your guns away in virginia command of people in virginia aren't careful, that's what's going to happen to them. i can see what's going to happen to them. i can see where they're coming from, i can see where they're coming from, i can see can see where they're coming from, i can see it's a strong statement, because hopefully this will be over very because hopefully this will be over very soon because hopefully this will be over very soon for all of us. but some have gotte n very soon for all of us. but some have gotten carried away, they have absolutely gotten carried away. they are protesting your social distancing guidelines. they are protesting your social distancing guidelineslj they are protesting your social distancing guidelines. i noticed there are a lot of protests out there, and i just there are a lot of protests out there, and ijust think that there are a lot of protests out there, and i just think that some of there, and i just think that some of the governors have gotten carried away. you know, you have a lot of people that don't have to be told to do what they are doing. they've been really doing everything we have asked them. we have a few states where, frankly, i spoke to the governors and i could've gotten them to do, if i wanted, to do what would

have been perhaps politically correct, but they've been doing incredibly anyway, and as one of them said, everybody is doing exactly the same to him our back to the net record is better than states where they are under a mandate. we have some great states of their term incredible people in our country, and for the most part, that it's a strong statement, but i understand where he's coming from, and i think one of the greats, one of the really important places, people really have to start looking at is what is going on in virginia, because that is a mess. with the governor that is under siege. yes, please? the beautiful head of white hair. i will tell you if i like if i like his hair in about a minute after he asks the question. from the milwaukee journal on that point, the tweeting in the case of virginia linking the second amendment to some of these issues about lifting some of these restrictions in these states, potentially a concern for the governor, and civil unrest and potentially things like that. for

that question, i think that's an easy one. that's not even politics. we are entitled to it the second amendment command he's trying to ta ke amendment command he's trying to take that make meaning that state is trying to take... the democrats are taking them in that state, the republicans are fighting it. they are to take that second amendment right away from them. to me, that's liberty. when i say liberate virginia, i would say liberate virginia, i would say liberate virginia when that kind of thing happens, and where does it all stopped? so i think it's a very good analogy, go ahead. is this the right time to kind of bring in a second amended issue? i think when they talk about taking your guns away, and if you notice, at the beginning of this pandemic, there were more guns and sold than i think at almost any time in history. so it's obviously a big issue. then you have them working and signing documents trying to take your second amendment away, essentially. ithink trying to take your second amendment away, essentially. i think it's an appropriate time to bring it up. this past week, and extra ordinary

slew of events from adversaries north korea, russia, china and iran, you know, all pushing back on us policy, or toying with us military forces. what is your message to some of these countries who may be trying to take advantage? i don't see it. we have a very good relationship with russia. we worked on the oil deal together. i was with them over telephone with the king of saudi arabia and the president of russia, vladimir putin, we worked out a deal on oil that was a very important deal to them into us into saudi arabia. it was in a deadlock, you know it's from you covered it very well. wall streetjournal covered that very well. i worked with vladimir putin and the king on that. president vladimir puritan was a total gentleman and he was very important to get that done, and the king was great. we actually had to bring in mexico, because mexico was a lone holdout and they showed great flux ability, you know the story. i think we are doing fine. yeah, sure,

north korea, i see they are testing short range missiles and, you know, they have been doing it a long time. i received a nice note from him recently, a nice note, i think we are doing fine. look, if i wasn't elected, you would right now be at war with north korea, ok? i will tell you for your people that don't understand the world and don't understand the world and don't understand life works. what's may be the world would be over. hopefully with a victory, but if you remember when i first came in, we didn't have a munition from a good way to fight a munition from a good way to fight a war. president obama left us no ammunition. ok? and he left us virtually no medical and ventilators. the cupboard was dry. i think right now you would be at war, essentially, in some form, it would be over or it would be raging with north korea if i were into president. and we are doing just fine with north korea, just fine, let's see how it all ends up. in the meantime, trump has given up,

really? what has he given upmcveigh said... idon't really? what has he given upmcveigh said... i don't know. then they said he met. i have a good relationship with kim jong—un. it's he met. i have a good relationship with kimjong—un. it's not a bad thing to have a good relationship. obama wanted a relationship, he wouldn't meet with him. he would meet with them. i have a good relationship with them. we met at the line from i stepped over the line, the first time anything like that has ever happened, it's all good. it's good. but when they say, the stupid people, i called them stupid people, or the haters, they say trump has given up so much. really? i have actually increased the sanctions. china's been very good on the border, in fact, right now, the border is stone cold closed between china and north korea. our relationship with china was good until they did this. once we found out about this, once we found out, we out about this, once we found out, we made a trade deal that china is going to have to buy 250 bowen 4000 neck a0 going to have to buy 250 bowen 4000 neck 40 or 50 billion from the

farmers, the relationship was good when we were signing that, then all ofa when we were signing that, then all of a sudden for me you hear about this. it's a big difference you know, the question was asked, would you be angry at china? well, the a nswer you be angry at china? well, the answer might be a resounding yes, but does it depend, was a mistake that out of telnet got out of control? or was it done deliberately, ok? there's a big difference between those two. in either event, they let us go in. you know, we asked to go in very early, and they didn't want us. i think they were embarrassed. i think they knew it was something bad, and they and they think they were embarrassed. you know, no, ithink we are embarrassed. you know, no, ithink we are doing very well, so you said russia to can that north korea, and iran. iran? when i came in from russia to can that north korea, and iran. iran? when i came infrom iran was a terror. we had 82 points of fighting, i8 was a terror. we had 82 points of fighting, 18 points of meat that don't major confliction. the first week i said tell me about iran. " sir, we have 18 points of confliction." meaning yemen, syria,

iraq, they were going into iraq all over the place. they are much different nation right now. i stopped that horrible deal, horrible deal, and they want to talk, except that carrie violated the logan act. he made the deal and he doesn't want them to make a deal because i would've made a deal, in my opinion, except thatjohn kerry, who made the deal originally, which was a stupid deal originally, which was a stupid deal to make him a given $150 billion, give them 1.8 billion in cash in green, that would be more than this room ten times with hundred dollar bills that you could fill up this room ten times with hundred dollar bills, it's not that smaller room. i say he violated the logan act. i think it was a major violation. i think we would've had a deal if it wasn't forjohn kerry, but he doesn't want to be number one embarrassed, he said let's wait until after the election. maybe sleepyjoe biden is going to win, and of sleepy joe sleepyjoe biden is going to win, and of sleepyjoe biden wins, you will own the united states. china will own the united states. china has paid us you know, for the wall

streetjournal, has paid us you know, for the wall street journal, hundreds has paid us you know, for the wall streetjournal, hundreds of billions of dollars, is in tariffs. and we give a lot of money to the farmers and it kept the farmers going great. hundreds, we are getting tens of billions of dollars in tariffs, and, by the way, for those of you that say, oh, we are paying to my china devalue their currency to pay us, we didn't pay, china paid. they don't like to write that. they also added money into their system, so they paid for that. no, money into their system, so they paid forthat. no, i money into their system, so they paid for that. no, i thank you have numerous countries waiting to see whether or not sleepyjoe wins, because if sleepyjoe one, they own our country. they will take our country, you know, if you go back two months, we had by far... china was supposed to catch us you know better than anybody, wall street journal, for years i heard, by 2019, china will catch us. there's only one problem, trump got elected in 2016. that was a big difference, and we we i’e 2016. that was a big difference, and we were going leaps and bounds above

china, and before the problem with the plague, right? china was having the plague, right? china was having the worst year they have had in 67 yea rs, the worst year they have had in 67 years, that was before the plague. now they are getting really hurt, and so is everybody, getting hurt. i don't want them to get hurt but they are all getting heard from everybody is getting her to him it's a horrible thing that's happened. but we horrible thing that's happened. but we have the greatest economy in the world by far, china isn't even close. go back two months, and we are going to keep it that way. but when you mention iran, iran is a much different country than it was when he first came in. iran was going to take over the entire middle east, right now, theyjust want to survive. they are having protests every week, they are loaded up with the plague, which i don't want to come i've offered to help them if they want, if they need ventilators, which they do come i would send them ventilators, we have thousands of excess ventilators, we have thousands of excess ventilators coming in. here we excess ventilators coming in. here we have a stockpile of ventilators and we are starting to send them so that hospitals can fill up their stockpile, which they should've. new

york had a chance to get 16,000 ventilators, and they chose not to do it. and i understand that, that's a hard decision for a think that may or may not happen. i fully understand that. i'm not even complaining about that, i'm only saying this, iran was a terror when icame into saying this, iran was a terror when i came into office. right now, they don't want to mess around with us. they don't want to mess around with us. they don't want to mess around with us. it does make things, north korea, same sanctions we have always had except more, we haven't given anything. i think he will to hopefully take that back to the wall streetjournal, because they really don't understand a committee really don't. and with iran, i mean, that's a different country right now. and they want to make a deal to me the only reason they don't, they are being shamed. the guy that gave them the sweetheart didn't. .. being shamed. the guy that gave them the sweetheart didn't... he should've never met with him. in my opinion, he's telling them don't wait. maybe trump will lose, and then you can negotiate with a patsy, a weak guy, and you will take over between you and russia, nobody has

been tougher on vladimir puritan, he knows it better than anybody, nobody‘s been taught from blood and repute and then me. look at the sanctions, look at what i did with the pipeline going into europe nobody even knew about it i exposed it. now everybody talks about it. i think it's a terrible thing for germany to do. but come at the same time, i have a very good relationship with latin repute in, i was able to get... i was able to make a deal with russia and saudi arabia, and opaque plus, they called opaque plus, that's going to save us taxes, north dakota, oklahoma, other states, energy states. it's going to save us states, energy states. it's going to save us hundreds of thousands of jobs, and, infact, your paper save us hundreds of thousands of jobs, and, in fact, your paper wrote an incredible editorial for a jobs, and, in fact, your paper wrote an incredible editorialfor a change that trump made a great deal for our country, that was a nice thing. i was shocked to see it coming out of the wall streetjournal. was shocked to see it coming out of the wall street journal. thank was shocked to see it coming out of the wall streetjournal. thank you are very much, we will see you tomorrow. thank you. thank you very much. that was president from delivering

the daily white house briefing into the daily white house briefing into the fight against the coronavirus in the fight against the coronavirus in the united states. it was a little shorter than some of the previous briefings president trump has delivered in recent days, butjust to summarise the beginning, the president said that texas and vermont would allow certain businesses to reopen. montana, the state of montana would also lift restrictions, the president also said that he would help mexico with ventilators, and he said in the early pa rt ventilators, and he said in the early part of the news conference, we early part of the news conference, we continue to see a number of positive signs that the virus has passed its peak, but governors, of course, in different parts of the country have stressed that they do not want to act prematurely unless by acting prematurely that would pose a danger of states opening up and a second wave of the virus. so that was the white house news conference. you are watching bbc news. here in the uk and around the

world, we are covering all the latest coronavirus developments here and globally. firstly, more than 15,000 people in the uk have now died in hospitalfrom coronavirus with 888 new debts recorded in the last 24 hours. that number doesn't include people who have died in care homes or in the community in england and northern ireland. it comes as the communities secretary robertjenrick said 84 tonnes of personal protective equipment, or ppe, is due to arrive in the uk tomorrow from turkey. ministers have been coming under intense pressure about the shortage of ppe for medical staff, with doctors' unions criticising new guidelines released yesterday which advise hospitals to re—use some items where appropriate mrjenrick also said local councils in england will be given extra funding of 1.6 billion pounds, to tackle the coronavirus pandemic. there will be extra funds for the other uk nations through the barnett formula. elsewhere, doctors injapan have warned that the country's medical system could collapse amid a wave of new coronavirus cases. and in spain, deaths from covid—19 have exceeded 20,000, making it the third country

after the united states and italy to surpass the figure. but first, with the latest in the uk. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. john coker, a detective constable for british transport police, who leaves a wife and three children. retired paediatrician judith darmady, founder of a children's charity, awarded an obe, who dedicated her life to the care of others. two of more than 15,000 deaths caused by covid—19. it's hitting families across the country, but the really sad thing for people is when someone dies, they are dying alone. they are probably scared, and theirfamily are not able to console them, not able to know how it happens, and after all this is over, there are going to be many stories required to be told by nhs staff who were the last people with loved ones as they died.

more lives are being saved than lost, but medical staff are worried they're being put at risk because of the continuing shortage of personal protective equipment, ppe, especially gowns worn when treating the sickest patients. as hospitals face the possibility of running out of some kit, public health england changed its guidance — some gowns could be reserved for the most high—risk procedures while staff could re—use washable clothing. and today, a promise that fresh supplies are on the way. 84 tonnes of equipment, including 400,000 gowns. we are trying to do everything we can to get the equipment we need. we're trying to source more internationally. that is difficult at times, and there is a great deal of demand for it and the security of that supply can prove very challenging, but we are making progress there. but medical workers are anxious about where this leaves them. a&e doctor nick works directly with covid—19 patients. back on shift tomorrow,

he doesn't know how much ppe will be available. there are apprehensions about what there might be and what might there not be and how much has deteriorated and changed, especially when we see news reports saying stocks might be close to zero, nationally, it is really worrying, especially being on the front line. and we have to do what we do and it comes with the job, it would just be good if we were adequately protected. the new guidance is in line with world health organization advice and hospital managers are facing a global shortage of ppe. we have to really focus on what we can do because there is a shortage of gowns, and in that situation, following world health organisation guidelines has to be the way that we go. they are saying that if other stocks are not available, then this is the way to go and this is safe to use. the new guidance only applies when ppe stocks are running low,

and the picture across the uk is mixed, but the patience of health care workers is also in short supply. doctors injapan are warning that the country's medical system could collapse because of a new wave of coronavirus cases. japan initially appeared to have the virus under control but there has been a recent surge and there are now more than 10,000 confirmed cases. reged ahmad reports. a much quieter tokyo in the wake of the state of emergency declared by the government. japan had its first recorded covid—19 infection injanuary and, since then, the government has been criticised for not doing enough to prepare for an increase. now, two medical association say the outbreak is reducing japan's ability to treat other serious medical emergencies, even strokes. it is understood one patient with a fever was turned away by 80 medical facilities before

he was accepted by a tokyo hospital. like many countries, doctors are complaining of a lack of protective equipment too. critics have taken aim at the prime minister, saying he has delayed restrictions in favour of the economy. shinzo abe says he is trying to effectively reduce people—to—people contact. but we have not yet reached our target level. japan is facing a new wave of infections, and with it, a push to increase relatively low testing levels. it now remains to be seen if the country has done enough quickly enough to protect its medical system and head off a major outbreak. reged ahmad, bbc news.

let's go back to america. with me now is our north america correspondent, peter bowes. peter, i'm sure you are watching all of that white house news conference, the president, of course, has a famously discursive style in these news co nfe i’e nces . famously discursive style in these news conferences. so was it clear to you what was new in what he was saying? well, it was clear to me that there was very little new in what the president was saying, and i think more than most of these white house coronavirus briefings, this was more about the election coming up was more about the election coming up in november than it was actually telling us about anything new about the current situation. he indeed mentioned the election several times and spent much of the first 40 minutes or so telling us how well the united states had done, compared with other countries. and it was a litany of successes as the president sees litany of successes as the president sees it. he's talked about the number of ventilators that have been produced, and the fact that there is now a surplus of ventilators in this country, and that the united states

will be providing those pieces of equipment or other places around the world. he said he'd spoken to mexico earlier that is in dire need of ventilators, and he will be sending some to mexico. he also talked about testing, which is really the big issue that you hear at a local level from governors, repeatedly saying that we need more and more testing to get the country back at work to figure out who has had the virus, who has got the virus, and who can safely go back to work. the president repeated his view that this will be done on a gradual process based on the signs. one report about testing suggests that the us might have to increase its number of tests by a factor of three in order to get a handle on what is going on in order to pave the way towards an end to lockdowns in various states. is that being discussed at the white house to your knowledge? yes. well, it is certainly an issue, whether it's twofold, threefold, in terms of the number of testing, some people might actually put it at a higher figure than that, because testing, most local officials will say it needs to

start with health workers, people in nursing homes, front line responders, before it can be extended to the more general population. but for everyday people to get back to work, local officials claimant needs to be vastly expanded. there is some dispute amongst the experts as to the extent to which testing needs to be expanded, but certainly there is a difference in opinion, it seems, between what the president says about this and what you hear from others in the states. peter boas, thank you very much. just to recap in britain, more than 15,000 people in the uk have now died from coronavirus. 888 new deaths have been recorded in the last 24 hours. more on our website, bbc news docs come. i'm on twitter. now it's time for a look

at the weather with phil avery. hello once again. friday was an absolute sparkler of a day. this was the scene late in the day across mallaig on the western side of scotland. and there was 13 hours of sunshine or so to be had in stornoway a wee bit further to the north and west. come a good dealfurther to the south and it really was wet at times thanks to an area of low pressure in biscay throwing these weather fronts up and across the southern half of the british isles. and it will continue to do that during the course of saturday. there's no great rush to really change things. so a lot of cloud across the greater part of england and wales and some really quite heavy bursts of rain as well. a little bit of organisation about it stop there's a band of weather trying to move in than a bit further north into the north of england and then come the afternoon, the remnants of something just pushing those showers over towards wales. all the while, the very far north of england, scotland, northern ireland, variable amounts of cloud but a deal of sunshine. but an onshore breeze just taking

those temperatures back along the north sea facing coasts, eight, nine or 10 degrees yet again. this is sunday. starts off pretty cloudy again for the greater part of england and wales and just hopeful for the day that some of that cloud could drift a little bit further away towards the west, allowing better chances of sunshine to break out across many of those eastern counties. and again, scotland doing very well. temperatures in a range of 11 to about 19, so feeling just that tad warmer right across the piste. and we stay with a theme of a lot of dry weather with some decent spells of sunshine, although it will be really rather windy as we get on through the forthcoming week. as i take you from sunday on into monday, we've got a big area of high pressure just to the northeast of the british isles. very disturbed weather across the southern parts of france into eastern parts of the spain. into eastern parts of spain. and it's the squeeze between those features that give us the easterly wind and the wind will be quite a noticeable feature of the day. could be quite a chilly start for the northern glens of scotland and the winds will be a feature wherever you happen to be stepping out of the door through that

brief spell of exercise. i'm showing you the mean speeds. on top of that, we've got the gusts. could be around 30 miles an hour or so. temperatures, though, not too bad. 13 to about 18 or 19, particularly where you can tuck yourself away from that wind over towards the west. and it's that same combination of high and low pressure that will keep us going with the dry weather into the middle of the week.

hello. this is bbc news with me, james reynolds. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. the uk goverment admits ppe is in short supply in england and that more needs to be done to secure stock. we've got to do more to get the ppe that people need to the front lines. this is an extremely challenging situation.
