wanted to be. but yeah, i think there was still a little 3-year-old girl whose mother was thrown away. people are frightened and go ahead anyway. that's a certain amount of courage too. key states in covid hotspots, donald trump and joe biden on the campaign trail with very different messages about the pandemic, your peen countries cobble together a patchwork of measures to fight covid as a second wave sweeps the country, and the a russian opposition leading alexei navalny. welcome to "cnn newsroom" wherever you are in the world. i'm robyn curnow.

just over two weeks to go until election day here in the u.s. and president donald trump is on a campaign blitz. he spent the weekend crisscrossing the country, and he'll begin this week with two rallies in arizona. now, the president was in nevada on sunday evening. and yet again, despite covid cases surging throughout the country, there was no social distancing and very few masks, as you can see here. the president seems to be going back to his playbook from 2016, holding several rallies a day and making baseless accusations against his democratic rival. but unlike four years ago, president trump sais also deali with this pandemic. and right now the u.s. is averaging more than 55,000 new cases a day. that's up more than 6% since mid-september. now, experts say the country is already in the midst of the autumn surge they have long predicted. and nevada reported the biggest one-day jump in coronavirus cases on saturday since

mid-august. but president trump didn't mention that in the rally. ryan nobles is on the campaign trail, and he has all the details on that. ryan. >> president trump is in the middle of a very busy campaign schedule, a campaign schedule that's actually picked up since he was diagnosed with the coronavirus pandemic. the president, just in the past few days traveling to key states including florida, georgia, north carolina, michigan, wisconsin and ended the weekend with a trip here to carson city, nevada. and it was at that event in nevada that he talked about his response to the coronavirus pandemic and actually ridiculed some of the scientists that have been giving him advice when it relates to the virus. >> if i listened to the scientists, we would have a country in a massive depression instead of -- we're like a rocket ship. take a look at the numbers. and that's despite the fact that we have, like, five or six of these democrats keeping their states closed because they're trying to hurt us on november 3rd. but the numbers are so good

anyway. they would be even better. >> and this torrid campaign trail is expected to continue in pennsylvania, north carolina, and of course he'll travel to nashville on thursday for the final debate of the 2020 campaign. ryan nobles, cnn, carson city, nevada. >> thanks ryan for that. so, democratic candidate joe biden is running a very, very different style of campaign from president trump. arlette saenz tells us what biden has been saying and where he's going next. >> joe biden travelled here to durham, north carolina, has in person early voting is underway in the state. the former vice president hosting a socially distanced drive-in style rally, as he encouraged his supporters to make a plan to vote in the final weeks of the election. joe biden once again hammered away at the president for his response to the coronavirus pandemic as he believes this is a central issue in these final weeks before the election.

and joe biden also talked about how the country needs to overcome division and how he is the president who will look out for all americans. take a listen. >> folks, as my coach used to say in college, it's go time. i'm running as a proud democrat, but i will govern as an american president. no red states, no blue states, just the united states. i promise you. i'll work as hard for those who don't support me as those who did. >> north carolina is one of those states that president trump won back in 2016 that joe biden is trying to flip in these final two week before the election. and on monday, his running mate kamala harris is returning to the campaign trail. she will campaign in the state of florida. this comes after the campaign had suspended her travel for a few days after two member of her traveling team tested positive for coronavirus. kamala harris tested negative

for coronavirus on sunday and will resume campaigning on monday. and later in the week on wednesday, perhaps the biggest democratic political surrogate out there is hitting the campaign trail for joe biden, president obama will campaign in philadelphia, his first in-person campaign appearance as he's making that pitch for his former vp. arlette saenz, durham, north carolina. the former republican congressional director, great to have you on the show. lovely to see you. >> thank you. >> so, it's two weeks to go. these candidates are crisscrossing the country as presidential candidates do. but what do their itineraries tell you? >> well, it's clear that the president of the united states is worried about several states that he shouldn't be campaigning in at this point. ruby red areas that were republican strong holds at one point like georgia and texas, the president is -- and

republicans are -- paying attention to that. the president was in georgia recently, which has been ruby red for a very long time. the democratic shifts have turned georgia potentially purple. the fact that he actually was sending surrogates to places like nebraska or arizona and nevada, wisconsin, these are places that the president won last time that he is in trouble of losing this time. the margin was razor thin in wisconsin, pennsylvania and michigan. and he's focusing on pennsylvania, but he's -- in areas like wisconsin and michigan, the lead is pretty significant for joe biden where the trump campaign has pulled ads on television to repurpose the money elsewhere, because they are also running low on cash at this point which is never a good sign. >> i want to talk about the issue of the crisis of the covid. it seems to be a question of what color is the sky in your

world. one candidate is ignoring the pandemic and the other one is focusing on it. it just is like pink or blue or green. i mean, where are voters on the issue of corona is it going to change their minds? >> i think we've already seen that. prior to the covid crisis, the president was in very good position to win re-election. the economy was doing well and people often vote with their pocketbooks. but once coronavirus hit, that was a real true test of leadership. and the american people have seen the abject fail of your donald trump's governing and his administration. we have 220,000 dead americans. we have over a million infections. we lead the world in these areas. and we shouldn't. and it's directly related to the president's refusal to face the facts that coronavirus was, in fact, deadly and do what we needed to do to protect the american people.

he weaponized mask wearing. he's turned it into an us versus them in blue states versus red states. we've seen his rhetoric create emboldened right wing groups who were recently arrested threatened a governor in michigan because of her stance to protect the people of michigan by locking down during coronavirus. i mean, all of these things are having a direct impact on the american electorate. and i believe the coronavirus failure by donald trump and his cavalier attitude toward it will be the ultimate demise of his candidacy. >> that's interesting. but let's also remember it's still two weeks to go. and at this time four years ago, many people still just assumed hillary clinton had it in the bag. the trump administration -- the trump then campaign was criticized for going and campaigning in certain areas. afterwards it looked like they had very good dart and they were targeting the right areas. how much faith do you put in the

polls? how much of a path to victory do you think he still has? and do you think fundraising, not polls, is perhaps the key to identifying where we're going? >> so, i'll start with the fundraising first. joe biden three months in a row has raised money in record amounts. over $360 million in august and in september and $382 million most recently. those are incredible numbers. donald trump is not raising money anywhere near that rate. they had a billion dollars and squandered most of it. so, they have about $200 million they're working with, which is not a lot in the final weeks. so, the fundraising issue is advantage biden. as far as the polling, 2016 is very different than 2020 because joe biden is not hillary clinton. they are completely different candidates. and where hillary clinton had a real difficult time connecting with voters, even their own democrat coalition, joe biden doesn't have that problem.

he is -- his life, his legacy is one of compassion and empathy and the ability to connect with people through loss. and what a perfect time for someone like joe biden to be in the forefront and to become the leader of the country and possibly heal this nation. so, the contrast couldn't be any more stark. and as far as polling is concerned, even if the pollsters were strong on state levels in 2016, but not nationally. they are actually pretty close. we all know the national polls don't matter because we don't have a national vote. the pollsters changed a lot of the mistakes they made in 2016. even if all the fundamentals were the same and they didn't change anything, biden is leading significantly enough in some of these areas above the margin of error in places like pennsylvania and michigan, both states that donald trump won with razor thin margins and where he's losing considerably now. so, biden is in a much better position, but his campaign will

never admit that. and they will continue to tell people it's closer than it appears so complacency doesn't set in. a landslide is what we need. if it's close no, one knows how donald trump will handle that and possibly throw everything into chaos even if he loses. >> the republican party, particularly because this party and its members have supported him or stayed silent, and how much of a cohesion is that two weeks before this election? >> well, i spent over 20 years in republican politics, and i can tell you that the republicans are in full-on five alarm fire. it is a 911er. they see the writing on the wall. they see the suburban areas in the country where donald trump is hemorrhaging voters, particularly with women. joe biden is beating trump by 28 points with women. he's tied 48-48 with men. the trend lines in 2018 where

republicans lost control of the house, those trend lines are continuing suburban areas. when donald trump is losing by 7 points to joe biden in an area like nebraska's second district which is the omaha suburb, that is indicative of how poorly trump is doing in other places like dallas n texas, charlotte in north carolina. and republican senators who are running for re-election like john cornyn in texas and ben sasse in nebraska, they see donald trump as an albatross and they've started to warn about a blood bath electorally. people seem to find religion when their electoral fortunes align. and that's what you're going to see more of as donald trump loses. >> thanks so much for joining us. as we've seen at the president's rallies and elsewhere, donald trump still isn't wearing a mask despite having just recovered from the

virus himself. dr. anthony fauci believes it's because the president doesn't want to appear weak. fauci also says he wasn't surprised when the president got coronavirus. take a listen. >> were you surprised that president trump got sick? >> absolutely not. i was worried that he was going to get sick when i saw him in a completely precarious situation of crowded, no separation between people and almost nobody wearing a mask. when i saw that on tv, i said, oh, my goodness. nothing good can come out of that. that's got to be a problem. and then sure enough, it turned out to be a superspreader event. >> so, ahead on cnn, the british government is working to control new spikes of coronavirus, but it may not be enough. we'll speak with the doctor working on the front lines of the pandemic in the uk. plus the chief negotiator was rushed to an israeli hospital

he calls on the nation's antop health experts.s, working together, for all americans, is what joe does. when writing his healthcare plan, joe biden worked with both doctors and patients to make healthcare affordable by lowering premiums, reducing drug costs, and protecting people with pre-existing conditions. joe listened to both small business owners and workers to create his economic plan that cuts taxes for middle class families, creates 18 million new jobs in his first term, and raises wages by as much as $15,000 a year. joe biden's plans will help working families immediately by making the super rich finally pay their fair share. for joe, it's never been about ego. it's always been about the work he can do for working families. it's what he's always done. joe biden brings everyone to the table and gets it done. i'm joe biden, and i approve this message.

a second wave of the coronavirus is now surging across europe, the uk, germany, poland, and the che czech republic. tighter restrictions are coming. that has some european leaders at odds with the public or each other. we know that leaders in manchester, england, are refusing to raise their coronavirus alert level to very high because the mayor argues the system is flawed and the government aid is nowhere near sufficient. more from manchester. >> reporter: the mayor of greater manchester took to the sunday talk shows to explain why che has refused to raise the covid alert level of this city to very high, the top tier. that would come with tougher new restrictions that would shut down pubs, bars, potentially gyms and ban house holds from mixing together. the major's argument is one of risk versus reward. the risk to affected businesses

is too high in exchange for too little world in terms of actually bringing the infection rates down. that's why the mayor has argued for a nationwide lockdown instead. he says it would come with a larger financial pack j to help survivors. we did see prime minister boris johnson on the talk shows as well. he gave a resounding no to calls to a lockdown. mayor andy brigham says he wants to negotiate a better deal for the city. he's called for 80% of wages for anyone affected to be paid by the government under these tier three restrictions. both sides, the leadership of greater manchester and downing street say they want to negotiate, say they want to reach a deal. so far no talks are schedule. they have been stalled since thursday. i did speak tie local politician who told me he expects talks

could resume on friday. he said in the past he's only gotten a 20 minute heads up. even though britain's cabinet member insists a national dockdown is not on the table, before things get even worse. for more on how the uk is fairing, i'm joined by a physician, model plus and actual will the reigning miss england. good to see you, doctor. thanks for joining us. i do want to know what it's like in the hospitals right now. clearly a lot of concern about these rising infections. do you feel like hospitals are coping? >> it's been -- it's been a difficult journey for most of us, not just doctors and nurses but everybody. we've only just recovered from the first wave. and in hospitals we're now playing catch up in terms of

catching up on some of the treatments that we held up during the first wave by imports and surgeries, elective surgeries. we're catching up on that. and that's why it's been quite busy. and the winter coming as well, it's been busy for that. there's lots of people having asthma, copd. it's really a busy time at the hospitals and now at the covid cases rising, i think that's definitely going to be something that we have to, you know, face as a challenge. and we're all just keeping our wits about ourself at the moment. it's too early to say anything just yet. >> and the last time you were in the hospital, what are your colleagues and you talking about? are you nervous? dou do you feel like you've got enough ppe? do you feel like the patients are well looked after and there's the ability to deal with the surge that is coming? >> from the hospital point of view, i think we're more

prepared than we ever were. i mean, over summer we had dexamethasone be declared as an official management medication. and now we have a protocol in place at the hospitals. even us juniors we get shown and taught on our own shifts by the way if you're deal being a covid patient which is what we need to do, et cetera, et cetera. i think from that point of view we're given as much training as we can be. the responsibility also lies with the public in how they conduct themselves. as you know at the moment there isn't a lockdown in place and that's why we are allowing visitors. we are allowing the responsibility in the hands of the public as opposed to what we did in the first wave where we didn't allow people to come in and we didn't allow more than a certain number of hospitals into hospitals. the responsibility is really high on the part of the general

public to be aware of their own medical conditions, to declare it if they are vulnerable, and to be extra precautionary when they are in public places like the hospital and elsewhere. >> and i just also want to know about the doctors and how you all are holding up. i mean, the mental toll, no doubt, with the fact that you've gone through a long hard summer and this is about to get harder. how is the mental toll playing out on doctors like you? >> it's difficult, especially because it does often feel like we don't have control over something like this virus. but in these situations, i personally have been mainly focusing on the aspects that i do have control over. but at the same time i like to say that for me and for a lot of my colleagues, we do feel, you know, on edge. and it's very normal to feel

that way. i think there is support out there if you want to seek that in terms of off loading your ment mental strain and stuff. for me personally i always worry now i move back with my mom. and my mom's vulnerable. she's got high blood pressure. whenever i see a covid patient, i always think, oh, i don't want to bring it back to my mum. so, you have to be extra vigilant. make sure you wash your hands carefully. isan advertise everything after i leave a covid patient's room. so, that's where we're at. >> thank you for that perspective. how concerned are you that there being this tug, this push and pull politically between westminster and places like man she'ser and elsewhere and how does that impact the work that you're trying to do? >> you know, i know very little of politics and i still don't have the time to keep up with politics. i think we as a public need to

take matters in our own hands when it comes to our own safety. so, there isn't a lockdown in place, but that's not stopping we as the public acting responsibly. if you feel it's not safe out there, don't go to the pub, don't go out to public places, limit yourself, your external interactions with people. as individuals we have responsibility as well and we can't just blame the politicians for not putting a lockdown in place. the choice is ours where we decide to go and what we decide to do, how we wear our masks, i see so many people even at the hospitals not wearing their masks properly. their masks around here, not even covering their nose. you're not just protecting yourself, you're protecting others as well. and i think it's an individual duty as el. >> doctor, thanks so much. thanks for all the work you're doing and send our best to our colleagues. i know it might be tough. >> thank you so much. >> all the best.

so the czech republic has the worst infection rate in all of your rurp right now, so part of a center in prague will be turned into a hospital for coronavirus patients. in belgium, officials are shutting restaurants down for about a month after a spike of coronavirus patients there. and italy's minister is banning local festivals. restaurants can only serve six people at a table and city mayors are allowed to impose curfews. and ireland is seeing a drastic cases in the number of cases since july. the government will take drastic actions to curb the spread. those plans will be announced in the coming hours. sw switzerland, the country is seeing a spike in cases. masks will be man dated in places like shops, post offices and shops.

height of the second wave and now at least according to the ministry of health data it is around 3% or 4 pchlkt dramatic improvements in the numbers and because of those numbers israel feels it can move forward. national parks will reopen, beaches will reopen, some businesses will reopen, and residents are no longer required to stay within a kilometer of their home. numbers significantly higher than where they were when israel came out of its first lockdown. cities with high infection rates, ultra orthodox cities where the tight restrictions will remain in place until the numbers come down. >> thanks so much. good to see you, oren, thank you. the russian activist at the center of the poisoning scandal is speaking out to the u.s.

gretchen whitmer. cnn obtained the video from the u.s. attorney's office for six men federally charged with conspiracy to kidnap a kiting governor. several pieces of federal evidence were played in court, including this video of suspect brand brandon caserta. >> these are the guys doing it. so, if, you know, if we're doing a recon or something, and we come up on some of them, dude, you better not give them the chance. you better tell them to go right now or elts they're going to died. period. that's what it's going to be, dude, because they are the [ bleep ] enemy. >> the suspect's alleged deeds and words were handed to the judge. the defendant adam fox is inside a basement appearing to be speed reloading his weapon to, quote,

before doors even opened. but they were undaunted by that. we saw people bringing their lawn chairs, their pets, their small children, their breakfast. and they were determined to wait however long it would take to cast their ballots in person. on sunday, we saw the wait times get a lot shorter. some people were not even aware that sunday voting was available to them. so, in many cases they were available to vote within just a few minutes. in both cases across the two days we spoke to voters who said that it was critical for thoem o make sure their ballot was cast this time around. they said they were motivated by issues such as the response to the coronavirus pandemic in this country. >> this is such an important election, there's so much at stake. and in today's society right now with so much racial divide going on, we need candidates who will be sensitive to that. and the person who gets elected needs to be held accountable for everything. >> the georgia secretary of

state's office said that compared to this point in the early voting process in 2016, the total voter turnout has increased by more than 150%. that's including both in-person early voting as well as absentee ballots. natasha chen, cnn, atlanta, george. >> so, u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi says she and the treasury secretary have to agree on a coronavirus stimulus plan within 48 hours if it's going to pass before election day. the white house proposed a 1.8 trillion plan, but pelosi said it didn't offer enough aid to state and local governments. she said the white house watered down language for national plan for covid testing and contact tracing. >> we're saying we have to freeze the design on some of these things. are we going or not? and what is the language? i'm optimistic because again we've been back and forth on all of this.

>> as this stand off continues in washington, millions and millions of americans are suffering. the economic fallout from covid as california's homeless crisis at critical levels. some people are managing to stay off the streets. paul. >> robyn, john kilgore in his early 60s with five children was couch surfing, floor surfing. they were staying anywhere they could. the people teamed up to provide housing in a shipping container. and the family when they moved in, ecstatic. >> we came in and with it being furnished and everything, we had everything we needed in there already. all we had to do was bring what little closed we had. and when we walked in there and their face lit up and they was full of smiles and cheering and they were just so happy that, you know what i'm saying, which made me happy. >> this is where i live, so --

>> and you like it? >> and i i like it. >> the home as a kitchen, living room, bathroom. there's an on sight manager, social worker who helps these formerly homeless people navigate through transportation, paying their rent, dealing with things such as taxes and other health issues. we'll wait and see if this becomes a trend in southern california, but for now it's chipping away at the larger homeless problem. back to you now robyn. >> thank so much, paul. the economic picture is very, very different in china after taking control of covid with strict lockdowns. china's economy is now growing. gdp rose 4.9% in the third quarter. take a look at asia's markets. they're mostly higher to begin the week as you can see from this. selena wang is in hong kong and has the details on these numbers, the gdp numbers. what's the major take away here. >> that's right. the 4.9% growth couldn't be more different from the picture

around the world where the global economy is dealing with the worst crisis since the great depression. meantime, china can'ts to accelerate that growth, continues to recover, and it's just a reminder here that until the country deals with the pandemic, gets the virus under control, it cannot have a sustainable rebound. there is no shortcut here for other countries around the world. and china's mass testing, contact tracing as well as restrictions have worked so far. there is, of course, robyn, long standing concerns about the accuracy of china's data. economists say directionally the fact that china's rebound is happening and it's strong and robust is accurate. if we look at those consumption numbers, we're seeing a bounce back in the spending. that was evident during china's golden week holiday when more than half a billion people in china were traveling and spending at the same time. there are some risks to the

recovery. china luke much of the world is having uneven recovery. not all parts of the population have suffered the same. the poorer low income parts of the population have been hit the hardest. millions have lost their jobs during the pandemic. especially like delivery people. it's unclear from china's data how many of those people have gotten their jobs back since china's unemployment numbers only capture a portion of the population. so, the question moving forward is how much pressure is there going to continue to be on unemployment and on spending? there is concern from economists i speak to. >> well, thanks for that update there. appreciate it. so, it is certainly a sad day for baseball fans here in atlanta. the los angeles dodgers are headed to the world series after beating the atlanta braves in the national league championship
