the real test, but he was ‘starting to feel good.‘ mixed messages have been coming from the white house though, with the president‘s chief of staff saying on saturday that the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of mr trump‘s care. here‘s peter bowes. donald trump‘s first full day in hospital, a day of confusion and concern over the president‘s health with mixed messages coming from his doctors and the white house. and then, late in the day, a tweet from the president and another video, an update from mr trump on his condition. i came here, wasn‘t feeling so well. i feel much better now. we are 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.

you keep saying right now but should we read into the fact that he had been previously? yesterday and today he was not on oxygen. he has not been on it during his covid treatment? he's not on oxygen right now. 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 white house 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. donald trump has been given two experimental drugs which it‘s 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 is growing concern that more members of his inner circle are also testing positive for the virus. many of them attended what has been described as a super spreader event at the white house last weekend, when mr trump named his nominee for the vacant seat on the supreme court. they include the former governor of newjersey chris christie who has checked himself into hospital with a slight fever. this is a crisis that has engulfed the trump administration less than a month before the election. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. let‘s cross live now to the walter reed medical center where mr trump is being treated, and speak to our correspondent lebu diseko.

i know you are awaiting the next update from the president‘s position. what is the app does feel like there now? at some points it has been kind of a party atmosphere to be honest with you. they have had music going, everything from the national anthem to bruce springsteen. i went over and spoke to some of the guys that canterbury road there. one gentleman has been there for a couple of nights. it was pretty cold last night. i spoke with a couple of senior citizens who told me they were here even before i was this morning. sion we wanted to be here before first light. we are definitely supporters of the president. we live here in the area. my president. we live here in the area. my husband is retired navy and we have been here to this hospital many times for medical procedures. so it is familiar territory. i am here along with everybody else to support oui’ along with everybody else to support our president in his recovery. he has been here for us since before

this election, and ijust want to make sure that he knows we are there for him. i am here for my president andl for him. i am here for my president and i want him to get well and i wish him well. also the first lady. i want wish him well. also the first lady. iwant herto wish him well. also the first lady. i want her to get well and just showing him we are out here and care for him and we love him. supporters of president trump there. the white house is at pains to project an image of the president at work, even while he is being treated. tell us a bit more about that. yes. ivanka trump his daughter posted a picture on instagram of donald trump at a table working, saying that he is relentless in working for the american people. he himself posted that video yesterday of him in what looked like a work desk. as we know he does have office facilities here, is due. mark meadows also has

facilities to work here. there is a secure conference centre, sweet for him, so the white house is keen to project that image that he is still in charge. —— conference suite. senior adviserjason miller was on one of the morning shows here interestingly he was asked about the fa ct interestingly he was asked about the fact that donald trump wasn‘t really wearing masks and may have played down the barriers and he likened president trump‘s —— the virus. to a general in the field. he said he had to go out and leave the country. he said donald trump is one of the most tested people in the country if this can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. thank you so much for that. within the last hour we have learned the spread of the virus continues in the spread of the virus continues in the white house. nicholas learn a second for the left in this picture is also reported to have tested positive for the coronavirus. he is

the director of 0val positive for the coronavirus. he is the director of oval office operations in the white house and serves as his personal attendant or his body mum. there have been many others in the inner circle as well as the larger republican party have come down with the coronavirus. it includes his re—election campaign manager bill stepien, the chair of the republican national committee, ronna mcdaniel, close aide hope hicks, who travelled with the president on several occasions this week, and the former presidential advisor, kellyanne conway. three republican senators are also affected. they are mike lee of utah, a member of the senate judiciary committee, ron johnson of wisconsin, and thom tillis of north carolina. he too is part of the senate judiciary committee. meanwhile the coronavirus pandemic in the country continues to swell, with nearly 7.4 million recorded cases. according to johns hopkins university, more than 209,000 people have died from covid—i9 in the us. julia manchester, political reporterfrom the hill, joins me from washington.

are you expecting a more consistent message from the white house today on the condition of the president after the complete chaos of yesterday? it is hard to tell because the last couple of days have been chaotic. president trump‘s position said yesterday at walter reed medical center that the president was doing much better, did not get oxygen, however we later learned there was inconsistencies with the statements. we also have reason to question the roll—out of the revealing that president trump had coronavirus in the first place. we do knowjenniferjacobs broke the story, but who picks a close aide tested positive later on thursday, we found that out late on thursday night which led to news about the quarantine. we don‘t know if jenniferjacobs had not broken the story what we would know now. —— hope hicks. thank goodness for the

first amendment in the united states. you‘re covering the campaign. there is a polo today from the wall streetjournal suggesting the wall streetjournal suggesting the president is trailing joe biden by 14 points up the debate, not taking into account the fact he has got grave errors. the tram campaign has launched operation magyar. does about that. we know that poe essentially mutters a lot of other national polls, it says joe essentially mutters a lot of other national polls, it sastoe biden continues to lead. i would caution this is a national poll and i would say it is more reliable to look at various swing states such as florida, 0hio, north carolina, michigan, stays like that. however we do see consistencies among these national polls, just one month out and it is a very wide double—digit lead. what you‘re going to see the trump campaign director now is really continue to dig in to continue to really hone in on the president‘s message and obvious to

continue to attackjoe biden. essentially saying citing president trump isa essentially saying citing president trump is a treatment such as appointing supreme court members, and the later supreme court nominee. with the president in hospital how much importance does the vice presidential debate assume? much importance does the vice presidential debate assume ?m much importance does the vice presidential debate assume? it has quite a bit of importance. before president trump tested positive for the coronavirus, this probably wouldn‘t be as widely watched, because it would essentially be playing second fiddle to the debate we saw last week. however, i think a lot of people are going to be eager to see how vice president p explains the handling of the situation. i would be surprised if kamala harris did not president —— press him not on the debate. it will also likely bea on the debate. it will also likely be a lot more substantive debate compared to the debate last week.

kamala harris is a very good orator, so is vice president mike pence. they are both relatively good debater so i think we are looking to see how their ideology is really match up on stage. thank you so much for joining match up on stage. thank you so much forjoining us. plenty of background analysis on the website including this piece by our reality check team which explains a protocol of what could happen if the president becomes too well to carry out his duties. 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 down.

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. sport, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre... an externally resulted in the london marathon. it was a thrilling sprint finish to the end of the london marathon

with ethiopian shura kitata just pipping kenyan vincent kipchumba to the line. the world record holder brigid kosguy won the women‘s race earlier in a very different covid safe marathon. 0ur correspondantjoe wilson is on the mall. how much of a surprise was the men‘s win? a big surprise. we havejust been given a polite ripple of applause, of the others who were here to the wheelchair race. there is the one competitor today, it is so unusual and unique but it will be remembered for some real surprise results. the organisers would have anticipated and hope for a dramatic finish on the 19th stop of the men‘s race. they wouldn‘t have imagined it would have above eliud kipchoge but he

finished eighth, he spoke of an ear problem. what a finish. when we see those two guys shura kitata, that usain bolt type place after 26.2 miles. that really was something. earlier in the day the women‘s race which began at 7:15am in possibly the worst of the weather, i guess that went to script. you could see early on, and a pressure of how this marathon was going to be raised, so different from normal, compact and constrained within the labs of st james‘s park, brigid kosgei really out on her own for about 17 laps and she eventually went round in a time for her which i suppose was modest. just inside two hours, 19 minutes, but the point was she was really shivering when she spoke to the media afterwards and the point was it was a day for perseverance, not for records. he mentioned the women‘s wheelchair race is still ongoing but the men‘s wheelchair race as a spy. how has david weir

done? the winners crossed the line respectively about half an hour ago and again surprises in both of those. david weir came second. he was a second behind the surprise winner who hasn‘t won in london before. he went to london marathon for the first time at age a0. in the women‘s race, a dutch racer knocked over ten minutes of her personal best. the runner—up came in seemingly invincible but that is why we love sport. thank you for that. there are six premier league games today, with two currently under way. arsenal 1—0 up against sheffield united, and in the match between wolves and fulham, pedro neto has put wolves ahead in the 56th minute.

we will keep you updated on those matches throughout. earlier west ham ended leicester‘s 100% start to the season with a 3—0 victory at the king power stadium. michail antonio got the first after ia minutes, pablo fornals added to the tally before half time and then in the 83rd minute jarrod bowen sealed the win. in the other early match, southampton were helped to a 2—0 victory over west brom at st mary‘s with goals from moussa djenepo and this volley from 0riol romeu. in scotland, celtic rescued three points with two goals in added time against stjohnstone. leigh griffiths headed in the first in the 90th minute and, then just a few moments later, patrick klimala got up from a tackle outside the box to smash the second in, putting celtic to the top of the scottish premiership. closest rivals rangers have just kicked off against ross county. in the women‘s super league new american signings cristian press

and tobin heath got their first win in a manchester united shirt. beating brighton 3—0. meanwhile, alex morgan is yet to make her debut for tottenham, watching on as they lost a—i to manchester city. goals from chloe kelly, samantha mewis and ellen white helped seal the emphatic win. top seed simona halep has been knocked out of the french open by a 19—year—old in a match lasting just over an hour. it took polish teenager iga swiatek 68 minutes to beat the two—time grand slam champion in straight sets to reach the quarterfinals. the 19—year—old had only managed to win one game when she met halep at the same stage of roland garros last year. men‘s champion rafa nadal is also through. still 2—0 now to arsenal against sheffield united. stowe i—0

still 2—0 now to arsenal against sheffield united. stowe 1—0 to wills against fulham. that is all the sport for now. —— wolves against fulham. 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. staff are being asked to accept redundancy in the hope of re—joining the company when cinemas open again. the film criticjason 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 tent pole 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? 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. 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 but 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. 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. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. hello. some places have had over a month‘s worth of rain in the past three days. although the rain will 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 in elsewhere.

then as we go through the night time period, we will find that the wind turns a little bit more patchy and showery, but it is still around and still not the dry period, still got the low pressure with us as you can see across the north—east. not particularly cold because we keep quite a bit of cloud. as we will on 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 today. still there will be longer spells of rain, and the showers will be heavy with potentially hail and thunder, and more persistent rain likely to return to northern ireland and wales as well. more on the website.

hello, this is bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines: 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. i am starting to feel good. you don‘t know over the next period of a few days, i guess that is the real test. we will be seeing what happens over those next couple of days. the prime minister warns there could be "a very tough winter" ahead, as the country deals with coronavirus. i have got to tell you in all candour it is going to continue to be bumpy to christmas, it may even be bumpy beyond but this is the only way to do it. cineworld, is reported to be on the verge of closing
