indeed cause for some level of during the competition, and so, as,. concern. we know from data from very large clinical trials that the medication he is now receiving, dexamethasone, is only really indicated in people who have a need for respiratory support, and we know would you say this was easier or from these latest findings that he harder than those considering the did indeed need oxygen during this conditions you're running in. you'll make it was harder than anything time. so we know, given these two i've done before. they have been pieces of evidence, that we would at least characterise this as a moderate form of illness. his quite helpful for you, i've done before. they have been quite helpfulfor you, haven't they. i remember you saying you had a learning disability. yes. they have doctors are saying that he could be discharged from walter reed as early as tomorrow. but of course, he is helped me a lot and give me the not a regular patient, is he? if he was discharged and went back to the opportunity to do this. and giving white house that, in effect, has a medical centre, doesn't it? yes, absolutely. you are absolutely right, he is not like an average the support. you have been in patient by any means. and so i am 100% certain that he is going to be full—time work as a result, they closely monitored at the white helped after accident. yes. it is

house. and if he has a need to return to walter reed they can quickly expedite that for him. we amazing. you're working for one of also heard from his doctors the supermarkets, so you must been yesterday that it is the 7—10 day very busy during the coronavirus. you're working there and what have stage of coronavirus after you develop symptoms which is most you been doing with them? somebody worrying. we are not really close to that yet so what is so worrying about that stage, potentially? yes, said you packing food for thatis about that stage, potentially? yes, that is absolutely right. this is unlike influenza. covid actually distribution? yes. i have been doing ta kes a unlike influenza. covid actually takes a fairly long time to develop severe symptoms. and people can be a some online shopping work. congratulations to you, thank you so much for speaking with us and i'm week or even two weeks out from just going to show viewers your moment crossing the finish line. their exposure before they develop here we go. there we go, charlotte. severe symptoms. and in those cases they can often appear relatively symptom—free initially and then do many congratulations to charlotte compensate quite quickly, and we have seen this many times over in and litchfield and staffordshire with every reason to celebrate like patients who were in all of those other runners have taken part, all of those other runners have ta ken part, whether you hospitalisation, or mechanical ventilation to support their all of those other runners have taken part, whether you finished or not, it really doesn't matter. abby

had a great time and did not break breathing. if this were your or twister damage anything and i patient, how closely would you be hope everybody is giving you lots of watching him are based on the love and attention tonight. wherever information you have gathered there? you are in the uk around the world after taking part in the 40th london this is a very difficult situation. marathon, not quite the party celebration there were hoping for, if he were not the president of the but it was a big news stories in the united states i probably would err elite men's race and not for people on the side of being cautious and keeping him in the hospital, like charla does well, runners particularly if he has any need for throughout the uk. supplemental oxygen. given that he now on bbc news. is the president, i understand the louise minchin talks to sir david attenborough ahead urgency with which people would like of his new documentary a life on our planet which looks back him to return to the white house. on his 93 years exploring and so i think if i could ensure the earth's wildest places. that he would have 24—hour i am david attenborough. i've had the most extraordinary life. monitoring with an oxygen saturation monitoring with an oxygen saturation monitor and supplemental oxygen it is only now that needed, and ready to be available, i appreciate how extraordinary. with close follow—up, i think it would probably be safe to send him the living world is a unique back to the white house. doctor and spectacular marvel. yet the way we humans live on earth macro ingrid katz, thank you for joining us. let's cross live to the is sending it into a decline. walter reed medical center where mr

trump is being treated and speak to human beings have overrun the world. oui’ trump is being treated and speak to our correspondent lebo diseko. that what an absolute pleasure to be briefing was a lot clearer than the able to speak to you. one yesterday, wasn't it? yes and thank you so much. where are we with the planet right now? how would you summarise and assess it? no. it was quite extraordinary, since i made the first television towards the end of the press programme it is three times as many conference the medical team there we re conference the medical team there were having to admit yesterday they tried to reflect an upbeat message, since i made a first rate television an upbeat attitude. they didn't want programme it is three times as many to put forward anything that might people on the planet as it was then. and we have overrun it. have an impact on the president's and now we are realising own health situation. and yet they what appalling damage we have done. and as well as realising the damage we are realising how much are aware that they might have come we are dependent upon the natural across as if they were not being world so everything we do, entirely transparent and that was not the case. also, they were asked every breath of air we take, every mouthful of food we eat comes by journalists about the fact that from the natural world. the white house chief of staff, mark and if we damage it we damage ourselves. meadows, had given this briefing when did you realise that we were very possibly on that path, as far as you see it? minutes after they updated us i think the first time i had yesterday saying that the president of‘s vital signs were quite absolutely indubitable proof concerning, very concerning. doctor was when, back in the 60s,

i suppose, when i swam in a reef, connko concerning, very concerning. doctor connolly said the chief of staff and a coral reef in australia i work side by side and said mark meadows's comments were and it was so damaged. misconstrued. —— sean conley. the and it is a terrible sight. journalist asked several questions, the answers that were given, just lead to a lot more questions than a nswe i’s. lead to a lot more questions than answers. the issue around how many times the president was given oxygen. they did say he was given oxygen. they did say he was given oxygen twice. there was a lot of detail given about the first incident of oxygen. when the journalist pressed about the second incident the doctor said we will have to ask the nurses for those details. so i was certainly left with quite a few questions. we learned that the president does have a need for respiratory support. and yet he could also be discharged to the white house tomorrow where he would of course continue to be treated. what is the mood amongst the president's supporters there behind you? it was so interesting,

actually, to hear from behind you? it was so interesting, actually, to hearfrom your guest just before me about what the course of medication and treatment that he is on means about his current state and how if he was an ordinary citizen she might take a different course of action but given he is the president, given that he has medical ca re president, given that he has medical care at the white house and will be watched 21w, she might be more co mforta ble watched 21w, she might be more comfortable with him being sent back home. his supporters are really in a great mood. they have been blasting music all morning. i think most of the times you have come to me there has been quite music blaring —— quite loud music blaring. cars have been tooting their support. when i spoke to his supporters earlier, one of them said to me, this could have happened to anybody and actually the president got this because he was out here. they compared him to a general in the field. they said he cannot wear a mask over time and he is taking that risk on behalf the american people. they also

appreciated the tweet donald trump sent last night where he thanked his supporters. they are aware that he is aware of their support and they are pleased about it. lebo diseko, thank you so much forjoining us. earlier today, we discovered that the spread of the virus is continuing inside the white house. nicholas luna is reported to have tested positive for coronavirus. he's the director of oval office operations in the white house, and serves as the president's personal attendant. his body man. we've been hearing how many others from the president's inner circle — as well as the larger republican party — have come down with the coronavirus, as well. that 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. you're watching bbc news. laura trevelyan in washington. more from her in the next hour. let's move on to some other news. 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". our political correspondent, nick eardley‘s 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.

we will bejoined we will be joined by viewers on bbc one ina we will be joined by viewers on bbc one in a few moments for the national bulletin presented by mishal husain. but first. the labour mayor of greater manchester andy burnham says we are looking at a winter of dangerous discontent unless the government changes course to give greater control and support to local areas. in bolton businesses were closed for weeks, hospitality businesses, yet there was no compensation for those businesses, or a furlough scheme that the staff there could support. that is what is going to make peoples patients run out. we are under local restrictions but without the local support that we need, or a local furlough scheme. i think the government does now need to do an urgent rethink of its local lockdown policy. it needs to sit down with us, it needs to negotiate a new approach, so that we can go into the winter with some confidence that we

can support our communities through it. we are not against working with the government on the restrictions, deeming them to be necessary, my colleague in liverpool did that last week but he has also had to put his own support scheme in place for businesses. he shouldn't have to do that. as i say, local restrictions should come with local support for businesses, for the councils affected. it should also come with local control of the test and trace scheme. it is still not working and that's not good enough. because what happens is, you find yourself under local restrictions but you don't have the ability to plot your own exit route out of those restrictions by getting a hold of the test and trace by getting a hold of the test and tra ce syste m by getting a hold of the test and trace system that isn't currently working. it is still only reaching about half of the contacts of people testing positive. but where we are doing it, where our teams are doing it, we are reaching far, far higher numbers of people. i would say to the government and local restrictions should come with the ability for local areas to take control of the test and trace system

which simply isn't working at the moment.

president trump's doctors say he is continuing to improve as he's treated in hospitalfor coronavirus. they also reveal more details of his condition before he was admitted. he received oxygen twice and is now on a steroid as well as an anti—viral treatment. if he continues to look and feel as well as he does today, our hope is that we can plan for a discharge as early as tomorrow to the white house where he can continue his treatment course. i came here, wasn't feeling so well. earlier, the president said he hoped to be back soon but that the real test lies in the days ahead. we'll be looking at the latest update, which came in the last hour. also on the programme... the prime minister says its too early to tell if the latest covid restrictions are working and urges

people to keep following the rules. 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. but this is the only way to do it. thousands ofjobs are at risk as the uk's largest cinema chain considers temporarily closing all of its sites. and a surprise result in the london marathon as the 2020 race, delayed for months, takes place. good afternoon. within the last hour, president trump's medical team have said he could be discharged from hospital back to the white house as early as tomorrow. but they also gave more details about his condition

after contracting coronavirus, saying he had had twice required supplemental oxygen. he's now being treated with the steroid dexamethasone and an anti—viraldrug and his doctors say he is doing well. from washington, nomia iqbal sent this report. icame i came here, wasn't feeling so well, i feel i came here, wasn't feeling so well, ifeel much i came here, wasn't feeling so well, i feel much better now. note big rallies, no crowds of supporters but president trump still has his twitter following inside the hospital. after the chaotic handling of the messaging about his health by his staff yesterday, the president clearly decided to do the job himself and released a long unscripted updates on his and the first lady's health. i want to thank everybody, what first lady is doing well, milani had asked me to say something as to the respect she has for our country, the love she has for our country, the love she has for the country —— melania. we are

both doing well. melania is really handling it very nicely. even avoided mentioning china as he usually does when it comes to the virus. we are going to beat this coronavirus or whatever you want to call it and beat it soundly. there we re call it and beat it soundly. there were also uncharacteristic signs of hesitancy from a normally bullish president when it comes to his health. i just president when it comes to his health. ijust want president when it comes to his health. i just want to tell you that iam health. i just want to tell you that i am starting to feel good. you don't know, over the next period of a few days, that is the real test and we will see what happens in those next couple of days. after his performance yesterday, the president's doctor tried again to reassure the american public that the president is really on the mend. as with any illness, there are frequent ups and downs over the course, particularly when a patient is being so closely watched 24 hours a day. we review and debate every fine a bed to existing science and literature, weighing up the risks and benefits of every intervention.

if he continues to look and feel as well as he does today our hope is we can plan fora well as he does today our hope is we can plan for a discharge as early as tomorrow to the white house where he can continue his treatment course. there has been a real show of support outside the hospital for donald trump which he says he is grateful for but the messaging from the white house is causing real confusion about when he fell ill, who he may have infected and what that means about the president's health. from his team and family, the message remains that he is getting on with hisjob the message remains that he is getting on with his job and the message remains that he is getting on with hisjob and in charge. but the numbers of cases are people falling ill around him are going up. the latest in his circle is the former governor chris christie who checked himself into hospital last night. he was at the rose garden ceremony last weekend for the supreme court nominee amy coney barrett. it might turn out to beat the super spreader event. for the time being, resident trump has to stay inside. heat is campaigning for the election has not stopped.

operation make america great again is in full swing. and it is also ramping up on the rival side with democratic candidate joe biden hitting the virtual trail last night. both men were meant to meet inii night. both men were meant to meet in 11 days for the next presidential debate which looks increasingly unlikely now. instead, the next few days will be dominated by the question of how ill the president is and when he will be able to return to the fight to hold on to the white house. here, we are awaiting the release of the latest figures on new confirmed cases of the virus and deaths. yesterday there were almost 13,000 new cases reported — close to double the previous day's figures. the government has said that was due to a technical glitch that had prevented all the new infections from previous days being recorded. with me now is our health editor, hugh pym. what has emerged about this? government sources are saying this isa government sources are saying this is a serious issue but it has been

contained. it seems that a backlog of cases going back to the week ending october one were not properly entered into the nhs test and trace system in england. this meant that people who had been tested positive did get the information but their contacts were not immediately followed up. there was a delay there which sources say it was unfortunate and the figures were distorted yesterday as these numbers were put in. i gather that the latest figures out shortly will also be at that height level, 12,000 or 13,000, and the trend will probably revert back to what it was but this comes at an u nfortu nate to what it was but this comes at an unfortunate time. it is just when ministers and policymakers and health officials want to know what is going on with the spread of the virus, and there have been rows over testing figures previously so this comes at a difficult and embarrassing time for ministers. thank you very much. earlier, the prime minister that the pandemic would mean a very tough winter but that he hoped

things would be radically different by the spring. borisjohnson was speaking in a bbc interview as the conservative party conference got under way online. this report from our political correspondent iain watson contains some flashing images. how times change. despite a big election victory, many a boris johnson's winning policies have been obscured by the coronavirus crisis. the political temperature is rising with covid cases going up and his poll ratings coming down. today he acknowledged peoples frustrations but delivered the grim news that it might not be all over by christmas. they are furious with me and the government but, but, i have got to tell you in all candour, it is going to continue to be bumpy through to christmas. it may even be bumpy beyond. labour are accusing him of losing control of the virus. he acknowledged testing needed to improve and promised it would.

acknowledged testing needed to improve and promised it wouldm acknowledged testing needed to improve and promised it would. it is not perfect, i'm not going to claim it is perfect. and ifrustrated with it? yes, of course i am. am i going to blame nhs test and trace and attack the thousands of people who are doing a good job? of course i'm not. but i take full responsibility for the service, i think by international comparators it is really very good indeed. boris johnson will speak on light to his virtual party conference this week and some of the faithful want him to reflect on his performance as prime minister. i have been speaking to some long—standing conservative mps and some of the new intake and quite and some of the new intake and quite a few of them say they still want further proof that boris johnson, having battled the virus himself, is still up to the job, and some say they would like to see the old boris back, the man who used to denounce the doomsters and blooms does but these days seems to be the bearer of bad news. this is a government facing an unprecedented crisis and i think that if people wanted me to

approach it with, you know, the sort of buoyancy and all the other qualities that i normally bring two things, i think people would think that was totally inappropriate point as for his health... the issue is that when i last got this wretched thing, i was too fat. but i am fitter than several butchers dogs! as for other peoples health, household and other people have been living under enhanced restrictions since august and some want to know when it will end. if the restrictions are still as confusing, i think it might increase even more because people willjust do their own thing. i do think it's going to destroy oldham. pubs restricting people coming in, people aren't going in. we need to abide by the rules but it won't last longer than it has to. labour said more clarity was needed on when and why restrictions were imposed. we are not going to blame the british public like boris johnson try not going to blame the british public like borisjohnson try to do, we are proud of what the public are

doing to point that we understand why local restrictions may be needed but andy burnham has been saying it's a bit like hotel california, places go into these restrictions, you check in but can never leave. borisjohnson you check in but can never leave. boris johnson says you check in but can never leave. borisjohnson says we should go forward without fear but with common sense but it seems that balancing act may have to be maintained well into the new year. more than 5,000 jobs at the uk's largest cinema chain have been placed at risk after cineworld said it was considering the temporary closure of all its venues. cinemas have been hit hard by the release of big budget films being delayed, most recently the latest james bond, which won't now be out until the spring. our business correspondent, katy austin, reports. most cinemas have now reopened but social distancing is a limiting capacity and many big budget films have been postponed. the films that are cinema operators have been banking on in order to rebuild the business, in order to generate

revenue, pretty much all of them have disappeared and we are now facing a situation whereby between now and at the end of the year there are almost no significant films. james bond... struggling cinemas or those who still have not yet opened we re those who still have not yet opened were hanging their hopes on the new james bond film. on friday, its released was delayed for a second time from november until next april. cineworld, which lost £1.3 billion in the first six months of this year amid the pandemic, is writing to the government saying the industry has become unviable. it is expected to announce it will close its uk sites, potentially putting more than 5000 jobs at risk. this afternoon, cineworld confirmed it was considering the temporary closure of its uk cinemas and those in the us but said a final decision had not yet been reached. one cinema industry analyst told me he expected other chains to hibernate their sites. if they remain open, they

have to demonstrate they have content to play so perhaps an arthouse or independent cinema has a different stream of content but for the main stream multiplexes and globally, they have to make a sensible decision. without many big movies remaining in this year's schedule, experts are concerned that when delayed movies finally open, there will be fewer places to show them. with all the sport now, here's karthi gna nasegaram at the bbc sport centre. mishal, thank you. there was a sprint finish at the end of the 40th london marathon as shura kitata sped past vincent kipchumba to claim the men's title. brigid kosgei retained her marathon title while thousands of runners around the world found their own ways of covering the 26.2 miles, asjoe wilson reports. so began london's first or to marathon. covid changed everything and changed nothing. the course was and changed nothing. the course was a lapse of st james's park but still

the same distance. this weather demanded more endurance than ever. bridget kosgei was streets ahead by the time the women's elite rates finished. she had beaten the course and the rain and all of her rivals. but not a day for world records. a date for perseverance. very tough race because it rained all the way. even our legs were freezing. by late morning, the elite men were doing their lapse. while the mass participation was happening everywhere. 45,000 doing their marathons wherever, however they could. lee and ryan running for children with cancer uk... could. lee and ryan running for children with cancer uk. .. miles still mattered, the cash for charity mattered, it may be more than ever. alistair and bruce for parkinson's. .. the greatest, the quickest, but eliud kipchoge had rivals at his sleeves. this was a race. he spoke later about a blocked
