armenian and azerbaijani forces exchange heavy rocket and artillery fire as fighting intensifies over nagorno—karabakh. russia calls for an immediate ceasefire. and it could be the end of the big screen for the world's second largest cinema chain, cineworld, as it becomes a casualty of the coronavirus. hello and welcome to bbc news. in the last hour or so we've seen extraordinary scenes outside the military hospital in maryland where president trump is being treated for coronavirus. mr trump temporarily left the hospital in a presidential convoy and waved at supporters who had gathered outside. the bbc‘s north america editor, jon sopel, was right there and witnessed the moment.

is leaving hospital but i don't think is going back to the white house. the most extraordinary scene. they have closed the road. police found out and cleared this huge highway behind us. i'm thinking, who would you clear the highway for, the first lady? and then we see the convoy that is familiar if you live in washington, it's the president's convoy driving incredibly slow they come up first on the other side of the road and then you can suddenly see all these people going mad. it's obvious that it's the president and then he goes down about half a mile. does a u—turn and then the convoy comes back in this direction and about six feet away from me the president is waving. and again. and coast on the line very slowly and it was the most unbelievable thing i've seen. everyone in all the cars were wearing masks, but the president who was diagnosed positive with coronavirus 36 hours ago has done a drive past.

who would have thought that? quite extraordinary. he did a drive past and was waving, and we saw, we can just about make out that there was a wave but you can confirm that that was the president but we don't think he has gone back to the white house. 10096 of it was the white house. 10096 of it was the president waving to the people who are outside. i can't confirm whether he is going back to the white house or not. it looked like he was going back to the hospital, knowing a bit about the geography he would've just carried on down wisconsin avenue, i think, if he was going to the white house. i think he turned back but maybe we will get confirmation soon on that. maybe he is. but the doctors of their onset he would not be going back until tomorrow. i

think you just wanted to come and salute his supporters who have been making a lot of noise. you can probably hear the raucous atmosphere outside the raucous atmosphere outside the hospital. we seen all day the hospital. we seen all day the amount of supporters wheeling on the president to get better. so you said that everybody was wearing a mask. was the president wearing a mask? yes, yes. he was wearing a mask, at a mask from the in place but unmistakably the president. waving to the people. and look like he... you know, donald trump loves an audience, he loves the crowd. being in isolation i would imagine his idea of absolute purgatory. and so somehow they managed to organise the convoy, presumably when the president moves it's a big, big convoy. i haven't seen anything on the way as to suggest, well, you may know more than me with information but i have not seen

anything that's just the president going back, as he was purely the president going to greet his supporters. just speaking to me moments after that drive—by taking place, since been confirmed that he is backin since been confirmed that he is back in hospital after that brief drive to salute those supporters. in new video message posted on twitter, he spoke from the walter reed national military medical center. mr trump said he ‘learned a lot about covid' by ‘really going to school. let's have a listen. it has been very interesting journey, i learned a lot about co—vendor. i learned to buy really going to school. this is the real school. this is not let's read the book school. i get it and understand it, and it's a very interesting thing and i'm going to be letting you know about it. in the meantime, we love the usa and we love what's happening. thank you. so how much of a risk did people travelling

in the motorcade with the president take? drjeremy faust is an emergency medicine physician from cambridge massachussets. welcome to the secret service hasn't signed up for this, and they are taking a huge risk there. masks are really important but they are not perfect. so we can only hope that there is a test to show it's not contagious emma but we are not told that. we know nothing. i'm glad he does not get close to his supporters outside cover that would've been extremely unwise, but i think as you said the president is very wrapped up in appearances and he wants to project that he's doing well. i think it's a good sign he can go out and do this for the moment but does not have any prognostic value. he can do this today and then tomorrow could be better or worse. just means that he was well enough for this period of time to go and do this pr stunt. doctors treating president trump for coronavirus say he is continuing to improve and could leave hospital for the white house as early as monday. they also gave more details

about his treatment, revealing that he is on the steroid dexa—metha—sone and a five day course of the anti viral drug remdesivir. with the developments over the past day, here's the bbc‘s north america editor, jon sopel, again. i came here, wasn't feeling so well. i feel much better now. donald trump has always believed that his best communications director is himself. and after a day of evasion, contradiction, muddle and corrections, the president last night, from his suite at the walter reed hospital, decided he'd better take charge. we're going to beat this coronavirus, whatever you want to call it, and we're going to beat it soundly. the president — still infectious but not wearing a mask — sounded hoarse and looked pale. this is a president who's always equated sickness with weakness. but his usual bullishness was replaced last night with a little more hesitancy about his own health. so, i just want to tell you that 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. with his supporters forming a noisy makeshift vigil outside the hospital, the president said he had a choice. he could have hidden away, or carried on meeting the public. i can't do that. i had to be out front. and this is america, this is the united states. this is the greatest country in the world. this is the most powerful country in the world. i can't be locked up in a room upstairs. another day, another medical bulletin, an attempt to clear up the misinformation mess from yesterday. so, why did dr conley say what he did? i was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the president, through his course of illness, has had. i didn't want to give any information that might steer the course of the illness in another direction. and, in doing so, you know, it came off that we were trying to hide something,

which wasn't necessarily true. it wasn't necessarily true? those sound like the words of a spin doctor, not a real doctor. today, he revealed there had been a couple of alarming drops in his blood oxygen levels, but another of the medics insisted that the president is improving, and could soon be going home. 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. hello, hello. joe biden is still on the virtual road campaigning. polling day is less than a month away. all elections feel uncertain. but there's never been a president hospitalised in the final stages of a campaign in the midst of a pandemic. if anyone tells you they know what's going to happen next, don't believe them. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. wise words they are. speaking

just before that drive—by. let's go live to to our north america correspondent david willis. let's just start with what happened with that drive—by, because we were on air when it was happening and it was quite extraordinary to see all of that take place. really astonishing. asjohn that take place. really astonishing. as john made that take place. really astonishing. asjohn made the point, this is a man who loves an audience. he is, after all, an audience. he is, after all, a showman he telegraphed her he was intending to do with this drive—by on twitter in a video. it's good saying that his fans have been out there a long time and i'm about to pay them a surprise visit he said, whereupon the presidential motorcade came out at the walter reed hospital and went past the crowd for about half a mile and then took a u—turn back into the medical centre. the president wearing a cloth mask over his face, secret service agents wearing and 95

ventilators, but i have to say that a lot of people in the crowd of course with those trump supporters were not wearing any sort of face coverings whatsoever. so, you know, it typical donald trump. the sort of things we have to get use to. that coming after the doctors had said it probably would not be tomorrow 01’ probably would not be tomorrow or thereafter it would be released from hospital. are we any released from hospital. are we a ny clearer released from hospital. are we any clearer now was going to happen? we had the briefing earlier today but to note the situation is now? we heard from the doctors earlier on today, ina sense, the doctors earlier on today, in a sense, really, more that he's doing very well and bright and rosy. there's been a lot of confusion not least because of what came out of that briefing. despite the message that the doctor was intending to convey can we now know that the

president's blood oxygen level fell twice in recent days. that's something that had not been mentioned in statements yesterday. we also know that the doctor would not be drawn on whether lung scans had revealed any damage. that can highlight symptoms of coronavirus before a patient sta rts coronavirus before a patient starts to develop serious symptoms. and there was also the revelation that the president was being treated with this steroid which is being used on covid—19 patients ina being used on covid—19 patients in a serious condition. a doctor and she was trying to present a rosy picture of his state of health, he said he was trying to reflect the upbeat nature of the team. i'll make that very, very confusing as to what to believe about president

trump prospect condition right 110w. trump prospect condition right now. thanks so much for talking us now. thanks so much for talking us through it. and it's notjust the president's illness that's making the headlines. two republican members of the senatejudiciary committee have also tested positive for the coronavirus, raising questions about the timing of supreme court confirmation hearings forjudge amy coney barrett and whether additional senators may have been exposed. the republicans say the senate judiciary committee will convene in a week's time to begin the hearings. the democrats have complained, saying that the decision to go ahead with the confirmation hearings threatened everybody‘s health in congress. we will monitor everything in the united states. in the uk public health england have admitted that nearly 16 thousand cases of coronavirus — between the 25th of september and the 2nd of october — were not included in daily figures for that period — and not transferred to the contact tracing system. some of them were included in the figures published yesterday — and today. the latest daily figure shows

22,961 new confirmed uk cases. 33 deaths were also recorded — that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. which takes the total number, across the uk, to 42,350 our health editor hugh pym has been giving us more details. an extraordinary announcement late this evening. nearly 16,000 of these positive tests were not put into the system. by a quick calculation, it looks as if what we thought were around 7000 daily reported cases of the end of last week, where actually more than 11,000, compared with about 7000 a week earlier. now, public health england have said it didn't affect anybody getting their test result. they were all told in the normal way. but something seems to have broken down between the lab is carrying out the tests and then the data are being put

into the test and trace system. it means the contacts of these people who tested positive were not actually approached, because the test and trace system did not have their details. so, up to a week was lost in not following up those contacts. so, that is quite a serious situation. now, we're assured that this it problem has now been contained, that all the extra cases have been added in for yesterday and today, and they should revert back to something akin to what we've been seen before. we should also say there are other bits of data that show that there could be a levelling off in cases. but it comes at a very awkward moment for the government. they are trying to get confidence in test and trace and work out how the virus is spreading, and then this error comes along. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: how the world's second biggest cinema chain could be closing its doors across the world.

this was a celebration by people who were relishing their freedom. they believe everything is going to be different from now on. they think their country will be respected in the world, once more as it used to be before slobodan milosevic took power. the dalai lama, the exiled spiritual leader of tibet has won this year's nobel peace prize. as the parade was reaching its climax, two grenades exploded and a group of soldiers jumped from a military truck taking part in the parade and ran towards the president firing from kalashnikov automatic rifles. after 437 years, the skeletal ribs of henry viii's tragic warship emerged. but even as divers worked to buoy her up, the mary rose went through another heart stopping drama. i wanted to be the people's governor. i want to represent everybody. i believe in the people of california.
