this is newsnight from donald trump to be discharged from hospital tonight. the team and i agree that. the most important is clinical status support the president . president to leave the walter reed medical center the president says he feels good. condition on whether he and the staff in the white house also on the program is exiled opposition to.

the political crisis gripping the country and she spoke with the head with some of . this year's nobel prize for medicine for their discovery of hepatitis c. . order 6 boston cafes set close to ask you a preference a set of corrupt. maximum. welcome to the program donald trump's doctors have confirmed a message from the president saying that he will leave the military hospital in maryland where he's being treated for. tweeting from the walter reed my. call

center president trump said he would leave at 6 30 pm local time in his message explaining that he's feeling better than the house for 28 years and people not to be afraid of the coronavirus was helicoptered into the hospital 3 days ago after testing positive and showing symptoms of cough at 19 straight to washington then we joined d w correspondence my shredded welcomed by so the initial announcement was made by the president by tweets shortly afterward sees doctors that gave statements so let's hear from his physician a sean connelly it's been more than 72 hours since his last fever. oxygen levels polluting ambulatory saturations and his work of breathing are all normal. though he may not entirely be out of the woods yet the team and i agree that all are evaluations and most importantly he's clinical status support the president safe return home where he'll be surrounded by world class medical care

247 i shredded this sounds like a miracle he was only 3 days ago and not he's leaving hospital. well this seems to be also the most amount of information that we've gotten out of these doctors about the president's condition they've been rather circumspect up until now and now we're getting stats and figures that are all seem very positive but the phrase not quite out of the woods yet taken together with what the doctor said moments later when a journalist asked him when was the president's last negative covert test and the doctor said oh i don't want to go backwards this opens up the possibility that the president has not had a negative cova test that he is in fact still positive and has the virus in his system and is therefore still infected and contagious so this sending him home while he does have a lot of medical staff at home still then poses a great threat to the people who work with him. ok well he tweeted

a little don't be afraid of culvert don't let it dominate your lungs but doesn't sound as if he's taking this disease particularly seriously. yeah seems like he hasn't particularly adjusted his administration's stance on the disease the entire 7 months that we've been living with this in the us his administration has very much downplayed the effect saying oh it's not that bad people don't need to wear masks coming out very much against having a national mask mandate which people on the left have been pushing for also pushing cities and states to reopen their economies reopen their bars their cafes their places of work very much against the advice of medical experts including his own top medical experts and now he can come forward and say he has proof that it's not that bad because oh he spent 3 days in the hospital and he's perfectly fine but i have to reiterate that there are more than a 1000000 people dead worldwide and 210000 people dead in the u.s. the u.s.

has the highest rate of mortality from this disease and it is something to be taken seriously so if we go within the winds as it's not just the president with call that 90 and there's there's been a raft of infractions sweeping through white house stuff was bring us up to that it's about. yeah indeed it seems like there was a bit of a splash there's a recent count from c.n.n. that says at least 14 people in the president's close orbit also have tested positive including the 1st lady and just a couple hours ago press secretary kelly mcenaney came out and said that she had also tested positive although she is asymptomatic and she is going to start the quarantine process there is also a new york times where the said 2 household staff the president's staff have also tested positive recently so this is an infectious disease and of course the president has been meeting with donors having fundraisers was supposed to be having rallies so it's not just the president's top circle it's everyone who they've come in contact with as well meanwhile there is the election 2 with less than

a month to go let's talk about the other guy joe biden what one a vase saying about all this about a campaign that has been publicizing biden's negative coded test and also been taking the opportunity to draw a very bright line between their plan and how the trouble ministration has been treating the pandemic so harping on health care and their plan to get more health care to more people their plan for a pandemic recovery for economic recovery and the fact that they are taking it very seriously very much in contrast to the trump administration's stance which is that as we've seen oh it's not that bad everything should reopen we can be sort of cavalier about it it's going to be fine. much weight in washington thank you the 1st of the 2020 nobel prizes was announced today this year's prize for medicine is going to a true just for the discovery of hepatitis c.

the child's rights and michael whelan for that groundbreaking research dating back to the 1970 s. the nobel committee says they discovered the safe countless lives around the world . 71000000 people that's how many suffer from a chronic hepatitis c. infection as estimated by the world health organization they have to try to see a virus is transmitted through blood it often goes unnoticed for a long time slowly and silently attacking the liver and infection can lead to diseases like liver cirrhosis or liver cancer a major reason people need a liver transplant the discovery of the virus led to huge medical breakthroughs really saving discovery you know so it's critical to go to the to do beginning to really understand the basic original discoveries that he really enabled there's so much. that has happened so many. advances in european center but that's made possible at this initial discovery of the action. when harvey alter discovered

the hepatitis c. virus in 1909 it was the 1st step towards fighting dangerous and until then mysterious liver infections the 2nd nobel laureate michael houghton then succeeded in isolating the d.n.a. of the newly found virus and finally charles reiss prove that it is the virus alone that causes liver disease these 3 scientific discoveries also made it possible to screen donated blood making blood transfusions much safer if. after the discovery we were able to test all the blood donors and sort out the ones with hepatitis c. one could also develop treatments with which we could successfully fight the virus. there's still no vaccine for hepatitis c. the research for that is ongoing but today the world health organization estimates that over 95 percent of hepatitis c. patients can be successfully treated against the disease thanks to the work of

today's nobel prize winners. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at least 17 people have been injured in a police car when police clashed with a protest is that a rally in the turkish capital bishkek demonstrators were protesting against the fish the results of a parliamentary election held in the former soviet republic a weekend they used to winning parties of of buying votes under freund. the suicide bomb attack in eastern afghanistan has killed at least 8 people and left more than 25 injured the attackers rammed a vehicle packed with explosives into the prevention government's convoy this comes as afghan president ashraf ghani travel to qatar in an attempt to restart stalled peace talks with the taliban. military helicopters have been called into the south of france to help search for people still missing after a powerful storm swept through the region the weekend killing at least 4 as many as

18 others are still unaccounted for witnesses say they might have been carried off by floodwaters. bellerose opposition leaders to come a skier is here in berlin asking for germany's help in solving the crisis in her country and she was forced into exile after losing august presidential election to longstanding authoritarian leader alexander lukashenko just when she comes guy has been meeting with european leaders and weekly mass protests continue in her country human rights organizations say more than 10000 people have been detained in problems since the election and she meets a german chancellor angela merkel on tuesday and she told the wy germany might play any poor role. and this moment of. the recent political crisis in. support of any country ring around is important for us but germany is. the most

powerful countries in the world is extremely important to us we need. help in mitigation upon negotiations with authorities and we think that chairman and that is really just going to be extremely helpful in the city let's talk to a political correspondent about how helpful they can be welcome cyber what sort of answer is monitor kind of sky likely to get when she beats the chancellor tomorrow . well i think a positive answer generally depends of course what she asks for and i think if that's an active role for germany and mediating between the opposition in belarus and the regime well that would be a huge step for. so we'll have to see how that plays out during the 3 days of this visit but i think what's being in visit as well is a more. practical kind of support for the opposition many of those activists have been locked up and badly treated by police so they could use some legal and medical

support also their families too as well i think and some of these activists probably for their own safety would like refuge in the european union that's something that germany with its current presidency of the european union can drive forward as well and we can listen to another clip from that quick interview with spent learned to in which she explained a little bit more about what kind of support she's looking for. i repeat it all the time you know. we need the support of their senses to know it can be any kind of help help us to didn't help journalist help for sportsmen for all those people who. fight in for the rights for new elections and. it's up to every country how to help every. set

of settlers in its scope at the moment somebody young what sort of message does that send to bella ruse that she is here in germany meeting with the chancellor and foreign minister yeah i think it does send a strong message angela merkel spokesman said earlier today that this meeting between mcclintic and all scar that set for tuesday is intended as a sign of the chancellor's great respect for both a fan of self and also the peaceful demonstrators in belarus and the spokesman for sized the the sense the chancellor believes the enormous courage is very important particular of women demonstrating in belarus so this very much echoing the same sort of comments that were made by the french president when he met with taken all skier last week in lithuania and so i think it's clear which side germany and the european union stand on in this in this confrontation and as again the

spokesman repeated the key points are to end the violence release the political prisoners and hold free and fair elections after those very distorted election results we saw just a couple of months ago from belarus simon yeah thank you. it's like i'm going to michael's having a busy day today the a huge chief present negotiator michel barnier is also in berlin for a meeting with the german chancellor and he 1st to brief to foreign minister heiko mouse on the status of talks with britain over a post trade deal with the ma said the e.u. was pursuing a constructive approach in the final push to reach an agreement but major divisions still exist and last week the u.k.'s decision to overturn parts of the divorce settlement prompted brussels to launch legal action against london heiko moussa underscored the need for quick progress or warned against a no deals in the area you mention of people on both sides of the channel are

currently busy enough shouldering the health related and economic challenges and it would therefore be totally irresponsible to burden them with additional problems resulting from a no deal and no deal. from 70 hike of masts now the british government is under criticism after newspaper reports that it is considering plans to house asylum seekers offshore on remote islands since august more than a 1000 migrants have made illegal crossings from the french port of cali after promising to secure the borders london is under growing pressure to stop the crossings. pictures that made headlines in the u.k. this summer people and rubber dinghies making their way across the english channel seeking asylum now the royal navy and the air force are being deployed to stop them . now as here a sudanese citizen trying to get to england isn't fazed. the government doesn't
