all its sites in the us, the uk and ireland. more than 5,000 jobs are at risk in the uk. now on bbc news, it's the week in parliament. ethiopia's shura kitata wins the men's race at the london marathon, after an incredible sprint to the finish line. hello again and welcome to the week in parliament. a week of confusion, rebellion and anger. we want to see this virus beaten — of course we do. hello and welcome president trump has spent the second night in hospital being treated for coronavirus. this is the scene outside the walter reed national military medical centre where he is being treated. 0n military medical centre where he is being treated. on saturday the president because my doctor said he had made substantial progress since being diagnosed but he wasn't yet out of the woods. mr trump recorded

a video message from hospital saying the next few days would be the real test but he was starting to feel good. messages had been from the white house with the president's t. saying on saturday that the next 48 hours would be critical in terms of mrtrump as my hours would be critical in terms of mr trump as my care. here is peter bowes. donald trump is my first full day in hospital. a day of confusion and concern over the president's health with mixed messages, from his doctors at the white house. i came here, wasn't feeling so well. i feel much better now. we're working hard to get me all the way back. i have to be back. when he addressed reporters outside walter reed medical center earlier, the president's personal physician said mr trump's symptoms — a mild cough, nasal congestion and fatigue — were now resolving and improving, but he was vague on whether the president had needed oxygen at any point. has he ever been on supplemental oxygen?

right now, he is not on oxygen. i understand. i know, you keep saying "right now", but shall we read into the fact that he had been previously? yesterday and today, he was not on oxygen. so, he has not been on it during this, his covid treatment? he's not on oxygen right now. laughter it later emerged that mr trump had received oxygen at the white house, before he was admitted to hospital. there was further confusion when the whitehouse chief of staff, mark meadows, indicated to reporters at the hospital that the president was still not on a clear path to a full recovery. there is a consensus that the next few days will be crucial. he has been given to experimental drugs which is hoped will speed up his recovery from covid—i9. i'm starting to feel good. you don't know, over the next period of a few days, i guess that's the real test, so we'll be seeing what happens over those next couple of days. mr trump also sought to explain his decision not to shelter at home from the virus.

i had no choice, because ijust didn't want to stay in the white house. i was given that alternative. stay in the white house, lock yourself in, don't ever leave, don't even go to the oval office, just stay upstairs and enjoy it. don't see people, don't talk to people, and just be done with it. and i can't do that. with the president in hospital, there's growing concern that more members of his inner circle are also testing positive for the virus. many of them attended what's been described as a super—spreader event at the white house last weekend, where mr trump named his nominee for the vacant seat on the supreme court. they include the former governor of newjersey, chris christie, who's checked himself into hospital with a slight fever. this is a crisis that's engulfed the trump administration — less than a month before the election. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. 0ur correspondent is outside the walter reed medical centre. we got

rid of the mixed messages yesterday about the president because my true condition. what is the latest? last night we had an update from his personal physician the line from him was while he is not yet out of the woods, we remain cautiously optimistic. mixed messages throughout yesterday. the white house physician, he had given this very positive upbeat update earlier on in the day as peter bowes was explaining. that was quite quickly thrown into confusion. if the white house had hoped that this would allow people's fears, that it would make people feel less concerned, i am not sure but that was the result. the white house aims to project an image of the president working. tell

us image of the president working. tell usa image of the president working. tell us a little more about that. we had this post on instagram from ivanka trump of her father working at a desk, the caption said, nothing can stop him working for the american people. he is relentless. that is very much what they tried to put across. when he gave his recorded message yesterday that donald trump tweeted out he was seated at the same desk. he has also been tweeting since he thus spoke, i guess trying to show that while he may not be 100% he is up and about and he is getting back to his old self. what is the atmosphere like there? are there many trump supporters are coming to urge him on?|j there many trump supporters are coming to urge him on? i think you can hear some of the atmosphere! there is some quite loud music at the moment. some of the trump supporters stayed here overnight. i can tell you it was not at all warm

overnight. they say they are here really just to cheer the overnight. they say they are here reallyjust to cheer the president on, wish him well, some yesterday we re on, wish him well, some yesterday were saying that regardless of what your political leanings are you should wish the president well. i think it is easy to lose that, the fa ct think it is easy to lose that, the fact that when the president or when any leader of a country is ill it is any leader of a country is ill it is a matter of concern so for a number of people they will be paying for him, wishing him welland of people they will be paying for him, wishing him well and some of them have camped out here as well. we can hear that behind you. thank you forjoining us. i'm joined now bya you forjoining us. i'm joined now by a doctor of emergency medicine and assistant professor at columbia university. the president himself acknowledges the next few days are critical. his position says mr trump is not yet out of the woods. what do you read into that? like you said, it is very difficult what will happen, a couple of things can happen, a couple of things can happen potentially. he could recover rapidly and go back to his normal

self in the next few days or sometimes it takes several days for the patients to deteriorate rapidly, and in the next 7—10 days it will be knowing if mr trump is going to either recover or if he is going to deteriorate. it is very good that he is at the hospital where he can be seen and monitored very closely and backin seen and monitored very closely and back in april and may most of my patients in the emergency department in the first few days they might be a wonderful but then we tell them if the symptoms worsen, to come back and give them really good precautions and also follow up with the patients and if the patients symptoms worsen they do come back so it is very early to tell and time will tell in the next few days. most of your patients though were not in the situation of mr trump, president of the united states, less than a month ago until the election and he

is having to record videos to reassure the american public that he is ok. how stressful do you think thatis is ok. how stressful do you think that is on top of the coronavirus infection? with the election around the corner, with a lot of pressure and also from the attitude trying to reassure his supporters that he is going to do well and that he is going to do well and that he is going to do well and that he is going to come back, one of the best advice that i received when i actually became ill with covid back in april was to rest, i wanted to go back to work but i turned off my phone, no tweets, dust rested for the first few days especially because that really helps with your healing and really focusing on your health is very important. of course, just like he says and does his supporters say, he really does care about the american people and it is very important that he focuses on himself in the next few days and he goes back and goes back to what he is doing. he is getting the best

ca re is doing. he is getting the best care at the hospital and at the same time getting all the experimental drugs that most people do not have access to. we don't know what the outcome is going to be but i am also worried about what happens the rest of america. we still have patients dying, especially black and latinos disproportionately dying from the disease so it is difficult to observe what is going on over the country right now. you are right, the president is getting care that most americans are not, but how about this risk of information that the president's doctor flagged about this risk of information that the president's doctorflagged up in his press conference. he said it is very important to keep an eye on that, what would you be looking for? covid—i9 as we know now is about eight months and we have we have learnt a lot from many countries and patients, it is not only a matter of respiratory systems. information can lead to having a blockage in your brain and your heart leading to a heart attack or a stroke if it is in

your brain. 0ra blood heart attack or a stroke if it is in your brain. or a blood clot, your lungs and in your legs. especially in hospitalised patients because they are severely ill and being in a hospital environment where you are not as mobile as you are, it puts your at higher risk of a clutch. in addition to having covid. usually this happens in the next few days, most of our patients, steroids, really good benefits and outcomes as an inflammatory... we have to closely monitor because of his age and because of his co—morbidity, so it is very important to you is in a closely monitored environment like the hospital. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. while mr trump remains in hospital his democratic party rivaljoe biden is continuing to push for votes. this is what mr biden had to say when asked to compare his policy is those of mrtrump.

asked to compare his policy is those of mr trump. i am in a little bit of a spot here because i don't want to be attacking the president and the first lady now because they have contracted coronavirus. this isn't about politics. more than 200,000 americans have died from covid. 7.3 million have been infected. 30 million have been infected. 30 million have been infected. 30 million have lost paycheques, or theirjobs million have lost paycheques, or their jobs entirely. million have lost paycheques, or theirjobs entirely. scott lucas is a professor of american studies at the university of birmingham and i asked him what the two campaigns should do next. in some ways it might seem strange to say this, a study as it goes for the biden campaign, because while he may not directly refer donald trump, he will talk about the importance of the coronavirus pandemic is an issue in terms of how it has been managed and

watch for these words of continuing to talk about the possibility, the need to listen to medical advisers, the need for social distancing, the need to wear masks, because of course donald trump has really stood against all of this, he has put aside his medical advisers and the five social distancing with these large rallies and the white house events, and he quite significantly is actually refusing to our mask, he told his followers they don't need told his followers they don't need to wear one. biden will be very coded but very steady in terms of the idea of leadership in response about it. the big question really is how the trump campaign deals with this, given that trump himself will be off the campaign trail that the number one outlet to try to rally support, these large rallies comes under increased scrutiny because of the lack of social distancing and the lack of social distancing and the lack of mask at those events. much more on this story on our website including this special live page looking at all of the developments and looking towards the analysis from our team of correspondents and experts. let's

look again at the live shot. this is where the president is being treated. walter reed medical centre. we will have all the latest updates on his developments. you're watching bbc news. other news now, and here the prime minister has warned of what he called "bumpy months" ahead — with the prospect of a very tough winter for everyone because of coronavirus. borisjohnson also told the bbc he wanted people to behave "fearlessly but with common sense". labour's accused the government of having "lost control of the virus". here's our political correspondent nick eardley. his report contains some flashing images. a sign of these strange times. the prime minister arriving at the bbc wearing a face mask. getting his temperature checked. coronavirus has changed the way many of us live, but also how he governs. boris johnson‘s strategy is increasingly under scrutiny. it was put to him that some are furious.

they're furious at me and they're furious with the government. they are. but... but, but... you know, i've got to tell you, in all candour, it's going to continue to be bumpy through to christmas. it may even be bumpy beyond. there was more optimism about spring. but for now, mrjohnson admitted local restrictions — like those in place in liverpool — could be frustrating. the testing regime, he said, was not perfect, but he insisted balance was needed to protect health and the economy. fearlessly, but with common sense... fearlessly, but with common sense, to follow the guidance, whether national or local. get the virus done. but allow us, as a country, to continue with our priorities. the prime minister, who's faced questions about his own health, brushed off suggestions he was suffering from long—covid. no, not in my case. but questions about strategy are getting louder. some conservatives are unhappy with the powers the government has used.

i'm a freedom—loving tory. really? i don't want to have to impose... yeah, i don't want to have to impose measures like this. are you crazy? you know, this is the last thing we want to do, but i also have to save life. labour have questions too, claiming today the government has lost control of the pandemic, and calling for clearer plans. we need a strategy, we need a plan for those areas that are in lockdown. i mean, leicester's still in, i think, day 95 of lockdown, for goodness' sake. we need a plan, we need a strategy, and we need to give those families — and the businesses affected in those areas ‘ the reassurance that the government have got a grip and a plan to drive these infections down. nobody could have predicted some of the challenges boris johnson‘s government would face, but there are many more to come. nick eardley, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... in a video message from

hospital, president trump says he's doing well — but that the next few days will be crucial as he continues his treatment for coronavirus. the prime minister warns there could be "a very tough winter" ahead, as the country deals with coronavirus. cineworld is reported to be on the verge of closing all its sites in the us, the uk and ireland. more than 5,000 jobs are at risk in the uk. staying with that story now — and the cinema operator cineworld is expected to temporarily close all its sites in the uk. it has been hit by delays in the release of big—budget films, putting nearly 5,500 jobs at risk. the next gen staff next gen are being asked to accept redundancy in the hope of re—joining the company when cinemas open again. the film critic, jason solomons said

many cinema chains are finding it difficult to entice people back to the big screen. ifjames bond isn't brave enough to go into the movie houses, nor is black widow, nor is wonder woman, then what hope do we mere mortals have? people are running scared of going back to the cinema, which is a dreadful shame, and no one knows quite whether to blame the studios for not giving us the blockbusters that would get us out of the house and off our seats and back into the cinemas, or do we blame the whole tentpole culture, where now we have three or four big movies and if they don't fill up the cinemas, then the whole of cinema culture collapses? we've got to this very, very difficult moment in the cinema industry, because of covid, and you can understand the studios, the big producers like eon who make james bond, they don't want to lose all their money. they want people to go to the cinemas. the thing is, when they do finally open bond, next april we hear now, easter, will there be any big cinemas left on which to show their movie? hundreds of muslims are being welcomed back

into saudi arabia's great mosque in mecca to perform the pilgrimage of umrah, after a seven month pause because of coronavirus restrictions. the numbers will be limited, both saudi nationals and foreign visitors will be allowed to perform the ritual. millions of muslims from around the world would normally arrive in saudi arabia for the pilgrimage. the spanish capital madrid has been put back under partial lockdown because of an increase in the number of coronavirus cases. spain has the highest infection rate of any country in europe. the re—imposition of the controls is proving controversial. damian grammaticas reports. in spain's capital, what every government, what every scientist has feared — covid—i9 surging again. 10,000 new infections every day, a second wave breaking over an already battered country. so what's the reason for this resurgence? it seems spain may have been too hasty to lift the original lockdown that brought the first wave of the virus under control,

too quick to let people back into bars and restaurants and too slow to build an effective system to test, identify and isolate new cases. intensive care units are overflowing, extra icu beds again being used. the warning signals are everywhere. psychologically, it's the worst thing. because all the people are afraid the tsunami will come again. spain, like many countries, has been trying to target infection hotspots with local controls. but it's not been working. like this part of madrid, home to 200,000 people who already had a fortnight restricted to essential movements only. this wave is not as bad as the height of the pandemic, but one in four tests for covid—i9

in madrid has been coming back positive. in recent weeks spain, like the uk, brought in its own rule of six, limiting gatherings to six people, told bars and restaurants to stop serving at 10pm. now the restrictions are being expanded to many other areas. translation: we all went back to work, crammed on the trains, metro and buses. the infections are back because they didn't control it. miguel hernan advised spain on its first lockdown and says the new measures may be too little, too late. what we have seen in spain over the summer is a serious warning that we cannot relax, that there is the possibility of a serious second wave all over the world. a warning to london, to new york and other cities? right. so is this what might come to madrid's rescue? trials of a new rapid test for covid

which costs less than $5 and takes just 15 minutes to get a result. "we needed those tests sooner," says carlos. "this neighbourhood has been abandoned." but until testing can be done at scale, and with a health system heading towards saturation, spain may stand as an example of what happens if countries let things slip out of control. damian grammaticus, bbc news, madrid. at least two people have died and dozens more are missing after storm alex struck south—eastern france and northern italy — destroying bridges, blocking roads and leaving communities isolated. it's been described as the worst storm to hit the region for more than 60 years. mark lobel reports. catastrophic scenes for this french commune. yelling. an intense rescue effort to get out in time. roads, bridges and homes washed away.

an elderly couple took refuge on the roof of this house but their home was swept down the river. translation: we tried to convince them to come out and unfortunately, we didn't succeed. the road manager managed to reach his hand out to the lady and tried to tell her to come out, but nothing. and in the end, the whirlwind crashed right through the house and the house floated away, and them with it. france's prime minister has announced financial support and deployed the army to help these crushed communities. "the priority is to find the victims," he says, "and provide accommodation for those affected, as well as restore the means of communication for those hardest hit." in northern italy, roads and bridges were swept away too. residents rescued from their roofs.

but not everyone was so lucky. a firefighter lost his life, and a man in his 30s, whose car was swept into a river. beach clubs were flooded, towns destroyed. and on italy's coast, it was not business as usual. this woman says she has to laugh not to cry. this man says his food products are unsellable. and this woman says water came up to her knees, ripping down shelves. as calm follows the storm, they are left to count the cost of the clear—up. mark lobel, bbc news. a long—delayed barrier system to protect venice from high tides has been used for the first time. the network of 78 yellow barriers that guard the entrance to the venetian lagoon lifted from the sea bed as the tide, driven by strong winds and rain, started to climb. the multi—billion dollar defence

system is nine years overdue. it's hoped it will help the historic city avoid the devastating floods it has seen in past years. in unique circumstances, and pouring rain, the london marathon has been taking place. there was a shock result in the elite men's race, with the world record holder defeated. the women's event, meanwhile, went to script. joe wilson was watching it all. brigid kosgei, of kenya. 7:15, try not to shiver. so began london's first autumn marathon. it's also the start of this year's race. covid changed everything and changed nothing. no mass gathering, the course was contained. just laps of saint james' park. but it was still 26.2 miles and, in this weather, it required more endurance than ever. brigid kosgei wins the 2020 london marathon. well, long before the closing lap, we knew who had won. the outstanding kenyan brigid kosgei, class of her own.

it wasn't the time which mattered, it was the occasion. the marathon prevailed. so, it's very, very tough, yes, because it rained all the way, even our legs are freezing. by late morning, the elite men were doing their lapse here. were doing their laps here. while the mass participation was happening everywhere. 45,000 doing their marathons, wherever, however they could. the miles still mattered. the money for charity still counted. maybe more than ever. and here is the greatest, the quickest, eliud kipchoge. but brushing his sleeves, rivals. the men's elite race was a race. with two laps to go, we were suddenly watching the unthinkable. kipchoge off the pace. there was a chance for someone else. this was a marathon and a sprint. the long stride of vincent kipchumba, but the determination of shura kitata won the race in the final metres for ethiopia and for the event.

it took so much to make this marathon happen. that finish made it all worthwhile. joe wilson, bbc news, in central london. wheelchair race is still going on, an intense race towards the finish line despite wetter and wetter conditions in london. pet owners in the philippines have had their pets blessed via a drive—through in response to the coronavirus pandemic. a catholic priest blessed various breeds of cats, dogs, and birds with holy water as pet owners in manila lined up in theircars. the event was done in celebration of world animal day and the feast of saint francis of assisi — the patron saint of animals. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. hello. some places have had over a month worth of rain in the past three days. although the ring will steadily ease through the night

u nfortu nately we have steadily ease through the night unfortunately we have got so much water around now that we have numerous flood warnings in force. those numbers are likely to rise. lots of flooded roads and standing water around. you can see the areas most significantly affected by the rain throughout the rest of the day. heavy showers spilling and elsewhere. then as we go through the night time period, we will find that the wind earns a little bit more patchy and showery but it is still around and still not the dry period, still got the low pressure is with us as you can see across the north—east. not particularly cold because we keep quite a bit of cloud. as we will monday. but it will be more of a showery picture on monday for many of those who have been very wet during the course of the day. still there will be longer spells of rain on the showers will be heavy with potentially thunder and more persistent rain likely to return to northern ireland and wales 00:28:49,023 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 as well. more on the website.
