1st. the students are. training successful. to me. starts october 15th w. he's back u.s. president donald trump is out of hospital and actively campaigning from the white house we don't know if he's actually free of covered 19 yet because no one will say but now he's back how will he rescue a campaign that's hovering around 14 points behind his rival joe biden and how do we counter michelle obama's new attack ad i'm phil gale in berlin and this is the day.
10:31 pm
we're going back to back to work or to be out front it's a serious problem i know there's a risk there's a danger but that's ok there's a lot to be concerned about don't let it dominate you. don't be afraid of it i hope no one walks away with that message thinking that it is not a problem don't let it take over your lives it is rational. and now i'm better maybe i'm a mutant i don't know. also on the day a slump in business hits london's financial center hot the coronavirus pandemic turns the city of london into a ghost town and the people come back into the city. so we can get back to some normality we have one booking for christmas not one not. welcome to the day donald trump is back at the white house and back in action after
10:32 pm
3 days in the walter reed medical center being treated for comfort 90 the president tweeted today that he's feeling great and ready to take on his democratic challenger joe biden in the next debate his doctor says the u.s. president is doing extremely well and reporting no symptoms of comfort 19 but there is no word on whether he is still infectious old when he last took a test despite this the president is continuing to downplay the seriousness of his infection and the threat of the virus itself telling americans don't be afraid. it was a determined donald trump wearing a mask who managed on to the steps of the hospital. 4 days after he shocked the world by announcing he and 1st lady millennia had tested positive for covert 19 trump was back after the short helicopter flight to washington crossed the white house lawn and strode up the stick case he made
10:33 pm
a point of removing his mosque offering a salute to the departing a crew and that was encourage meant for the other 7 and a half 1000000 americans who have been infected by the virus don't let it dominate you don't be afraid of it you're going to beat it we have the best medical equipment we have the best medicines all developed recently and you going to beat it i went i didn't feel so good and 2 days ago i could have left 2 days ago 2 days ago felt great like better than i have in a long time i said just recently better than 20 years ago don't let it dominate don't let it take over your lives but doctors are not convinced. i think that the president may be in a honeymoon phase as i call it of course in 1000 disease in the 1st it's me me the viral thing for the inflammatory phase we look for warning sign around 7
10:34 pm
o 8 and when people can actually do a lot worse require a lot more oxygen and you may get better or at that point may get a lot worse and i will be around the weekend those words will not be enough to deter the president in one of his many tweets on a day of high drama chum pledge to be back on the campaign trail suit. well let's take stock of a campaign trial of chris fall calling is a republican strategist with majority strategies and the lizza szoka is a former a bomb a campaign official welcome both chris folk a can we stay focused can we start with you we know that donald trump is out of hospital but no one actually knows if he's bats i know will say when he's last negative coverage test was how can he leave your campaign if he's still ill. the president's campaign and he's clearly showing that he's feeling much better
10:35 pm
positive spirit of the president always does outspoken positive an optimistic we saw that from his state it's unfortunate right now that we are so much push back from people that actively want the president to be sick and to be you know obviously discovered 900 calls a lot of controversy a lot of different political opinions but if you do they have some route to contract cancer if someone were to contract the joy of your images these we want them to be strong we want them to be other than optimistic and i think this president should we use leadership by doing that ok i wonder. is that what you're getting from the this message are you getting a strong positive president. i think we're getting a president cares more about. the safety of the american people so now i do not think it represents a strong. time when frankly he should be quarantining and not taking at c.v. right ok but now he's back president trump says he's raring to get back to
10:36 pm
campaigning and we'll look at his 20 i'm looking forward to that a bias on the evening of thursday october the 15th in miami it's will be great so chris folks know what is this debate going to be in person. well are not i'm not as familiar with the specific details of the debate but there have been when you're partially been put into place and i'm sure between the president the white house national security all the things that are involved with this they're going to show that the president is foreign and he's healthy before there's any kind of interaction with vice president biden it's just the same thing i'm surprised president biden want to make sure that he said i'm sure they'll take every precaution necessary but we have to focus on you being here in this election in the united states is incredibly important decision and we cannot let the coronavirus shut down our economy we cannot let shut down our alarms and we certainly can't let a shutdown were to mark. what do you think that this presidential debate began in
10:37 pm
person effect. i think to quote president by we should listen to the scientists and i think the safety of the people who have to work to face the candidates and south and their families should be paramount and right now what we're seeing from christ and trying is his inability to hit it and connect with voters and so yes you go back again kirsten yelling and i just i'm going to cut it in 2020 so ok so meanwhile the gloves appear to have come off the former 1st lady michelle obama has released a video message accusing the president of stoking fears about black and brown americans will take a look at a part of it so what the president is doing is once again patently false it's morally wrong all and yes it is racist but that doesn't mean it
10:38 pm
will work too louche this message for presumably democrats already think the worst of the president in trouble support as a kid. they'll forgive him anything. i think this whole election it's never up and out the base trump has his base has his it's about that slice in the middle and that slice in the middle that felt uncomfortable about voting for hillary 2016 they're really feeling uncomfortable about voting for trump now so this is talking to the well meaning folks we all know that they're in our family who kind of wonder is this really is bad as it seems and so she's talking right directly to us this is racism in it you vote for it you're condoning it. it's a present racist no. this pressurizing speech from former 1st lady is the same kind of condescending speech we heard from president obama when he was
10:39 pm
president as well just assuming that americans are somehow racist 34 or since it was just 2 interruptions it's just just just just before you say because she didn't talk about americans as being racist you talked about donald trump as being racist let's just get a. truck. she wouldn't say that unless she was trying to communicate to voters yourself she's trying to tell voters that hate you even though it's you know that you are racist or you might feel that way that's incredibly condescending to assume that americans are racist united states is the most open is the most diverse and there's lots of welcoming country in the world when it comes to immigrants more comes the mixing of different races. and yes when you're president you have streets going up and flame sense is going up in flames and black people being killed by law enforcement. right united states is by far not the most perfect nation in the world but i would argue that remark she is
10:40 pm
more durable and stronger and will protect individual rights of more americans on more days a week than in your countrymen world. no one's accuse joe biden of being racist but he is just another white guy what special about this end. i think the most important qualities to buy has consistently shown his entire career in public service is he listens to folks and he's empathetic she knows the pain that american families are going through and he's able to show that he also knows what it means to take a step back and listen so as we grow as a society as we learn more and become more inclusive she's not too proud to sit back and listen and learn and i think that's shown since i also have had to do politicians i'm going to listen i'm going to listen to what the people say but joe biden grew a 14 point lead in the polls essentially by staying out of the way how is he now
10:41 pm
going to compete with a resurgent donald trump who appears to have risen from his deathbed. i mean we'll wait and see if this is a resurgent donald trump but i think joe biden will continue doing what he's been doing across the country battleground states that were never even in play are now not such a long shot and i will stay the course he will continue connecting with people from know me safely and talking to local reporters so that folks know he's really listening to their issues and i think when you see things like trump not going after help and relief money that's not going to help and by who knows what it feels like for american folks to her and he's going to continue connecting on those issues final word to you chris for let's pick up about that idea of continuing to do what was what he's done and not another president is apparently a big coronavirus what would he do if elected that he isn't already doing that i mean he is no ready doing it why isn't
10:42 pm
a. i mean it's not like the rotavirus caught president he got the virus and he's. leading by example in terms of how he wants to get back to work whether it's our economy whether it's our schools americans want to get back to at least. like he's been proven time and time again i'm all about listening to the scientists i agree and most of the social scientists will tell you that if this kind of shutdown mentality that nancy pelosi and joe biden want to continue to push it's going to have such a negative judgment effect to our a promise the only way for. him to get back to work in the president wants to lead us in that direction he already has shown any credible jobs record and you know as you mentioned earlier no we don't have perfect relations racial relations in the united states but the president for years has done more for african-americans in minority communities than any previous president since when it comes to important issues that affect. thank you so much for joining us republican strategist.
10:43 pm
thank you. thank you. for the u.k. service sector has been hit particularly hard by the coronavirus and as winter approaches prime minister barak johnson has warned of tough months ahead but it's not only hospitality that's been here at london's financial center this city has been left deserted people from. a lot of parts. this is the latest fashion trend for bank us in london city accessorizing suits with a matching mask made this one the shop has been around for over 100 years business had always been great until the pandemic and for 6 months he didn't make a single suit and the people come back into the city. so we can get back to some normality now though boris johnson has said everyone who can should keep working

10:47 pm
a car back is internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but is controlled by ethnic armenian for. backed by armenia the conflict dates back to the dissolution of the soviet union ever since armenia and azerbaijan have claimed in a car back as their own territory a so-called frozen conflict that remains unresolved for decades later in july hostilities flared up again 16 people were killed in the fighting the conflict has international ramifications turkey has expressed its support of azerbaijan while russia has provided armenia with military equipment. while world leaders are calling for a deescalation it seems on the ground the warring sides are fanning the flames of their frozen conflict. so let's explore this further with the group in their opinion he's a member of the parliament and the national assembly of me had of a standing committee on international relations welcome to the

historians consider the worksheet about to see a curiosity but that has not changed with the new exhibition at london's national gallery. she was one of the most dazzling artists of the baroque and intrepid pioneer are to me as yet gentle the italian pain to use to work to raise the voice of women and fight for equality against all odds and this in the 17th century it was extremely challenging for women in the 17th century i mean they had sort of severe social restrictions but also as an artist i think you really had limitations this these sort of restrictions on not being able to move about and see the all works on public display meant that she was really exposed to very little compared to say have male counterparts the exhibition shows 30 pictures from a remarkable career the daughter of painter or a gentle a ski to muse you discovered her extraordinary talent early on and let nothing stop her. we know that she was painting independently by the
10:54 pm
time she was 16 and her 1st known work painted when she was just 17 is absolutely astonishing but i think also she had sheer determination she wanted to do the same work the men were doing that meant painting more than just 2 lives and portraits artemisia painted scenes susannah and the elders from 1610 shows a bathing susanna who seems visibly uncomfortable under the last line of the men artemisia herself then became a victim of sexual violence the exhibition presents the original transcript of the court case the put art museums teacher augustine not on trial for rape for the child artemisia had to repeat. statements under torture. she agreed to undergo judicial torture was the only way that she could prove that she was telling the truth and she knows that and the way she complies you know and sort of answers the judge's questions with incredible 'd poise for

11:02 pm
extremely important. now we need. help in mediation negotiations with authorities and we think that. it's really in this situation. america has deep sympathy for the protest movement as a former citizen of east germany she's lived through a peaceful revolution which gives her a special understanding of belarus. and then my mood just moments when i see the courage of these women who take to the streets to call for freedom and to corruption i can only say that i'm amazed i find it truly impressive. thank you. women have persisted turning out despite the ongoing violence of the regime nor is continuing her own fight from exile do we see her comrade maria kolesnikov was put in prison for her own convictions.

the protesters want alexander lukashenko who has been in power for 26 years to step down they claim the recent elections that saw him. were rigged. germany and the e.u. agree they've imposed sanctions on look at those inner circle but not against the dictator himself to how no scale has called for the sanctions to be extended to look at shanker and others many german lawmakers agree including in the green party . we need to make it clear that we stand in solidarity with protesters we must offer individual humanitarian aid to people who are under threat and of those who seek help from us because they are tortured or beaten by the regime. who on monday . thank the bella rusin community in berlin she likens her country to east germany in 1909 saying hers is a nation that wants to tear down its walls where at long last people want to make
11:04 pm
their own decisions about their lives. political correspondent simon young was following those talks on i asked him what sort of support to kind of sky hopes to get from the german government. well that remains to be seen but i think that the opposition are asking as well for practical support support for civil society organizations for independent media groups which have both been suffering and finding it difficult to operate during this crisis so that's one thing more widely of course there is that call for europe and other friendly nations to become involved supporting dialogue between the look at the regime and the opposition that's a call that's been repeated again. i mean you know there's a political crisis there's another former soviet republic this time to start with

the prime minister has resigned following days of protests in the capital bishkek ports that the parliament immediately elected backbone of north replacement from the opposition only for him to be forced to flee is angry protesters stormed the hotel where the emergency session was being held but this comes amid increasing chaos in the rest following sunday's parliamentary elections there you can see protesters forcing their way into government buildings and destroying images of pro russian president sort of by age in back of the official results from the vote 100 big gains to the president and to establishment parties those results have since been no let's bring in colleen wood who's a central asia expert with columbia university welcome to d.w. could be stunned does have a history of revolts against its leaders what sparked this latest war yes there were about allusions in jackson 5 and 10 and this time around the 16
11:06 pm
parties that were competing in the parliamentary election on sunday only 4 of them made it past the incredibly high threshold that the government has for parties to actually gain seats in parliament so we end up with 4 parties representing only 64 percent of overall votes and those that did make it past the threshold are all pro-government parties and some people were gathering in the capital to express their frustration with both these pro-government parties but also the tactics that they used to get elected that there was industrial scale vote buying and registration voter voter registration fraud that people are very upset with ok so the president president. says he's got everything under control but the opposition claim they've seized power what is the truth why do you think. the last we heard publicly from president kim there was early in the morning on monday in
11:07 pm
kyrgyzstan that he released a video so people do not exactly know where his wares and yet at the moment the opposition. meeting comes up saying that they are in control but i think ultimately the power does lie with parliament that it's the 6th parliament the last parliament that was in power he is elected a new speaker is elected a new prime minister and this interim government is going to be the one to make the call on holding new elections and ultimately the decision on whether to impeach the president says very carefully set up its executive branch the house balance between the president and parliament but always the parliament has more control than the president so in the coming hours even though. i think parliament is going to wield a power over the president any more than him over that are going to. moscow house is quite a supporter of the president and moscow's call for what they said was a legal resolution what role is the kremlin playing in this
11:08 pm
yeah kyrgyzstan is definitely an ally of russia it's an area of the european economic union but i don't know that russia really has a huge vested interest in the domestic politics other than stability and even claiming that putin really likes the current president more than passed last week in a meeting and he completely messed up the president's name calling him shine on show . so i think. from the comments perspective stability is all that matters is getting us back on track to the constitutional order is what's in their interests the actual interplay between which actors win out i think is not as much of a concern from russia saying oh i'm intrigued by this notion of stability because of the more we have a rest. to former soviet states just coincidence there is something going on in that corner of the world that we really ought to be paying more attention to. i think by that corner in the world of complicity it states that yes georgia also in
11:09 pm
russia's backyard has parliamentary elections later october the gigas and has presidential elections next month moldova is going to the polls in november and the frequency with which all these countries are having elections is certainly worth watching but i think that there is something specific about the frustration and the boiling up of this energy in both belarus and more so in kyrgyzstan that these are places where i'm dressed had been building for a long time frustration with the formal channels was there and was not able to be. pushed through these legal channels and i think that that's why we're seeing this unrest i see that's very clear thank you so much for joining us with colleen ward from columbia university. thank you. we'll turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world the global chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. dubey has confirmed the presence of a novi chalked type of nerve agent in samples taken from an x.

it's nobel prize season again and today's announcement was for the winners of the physics award it's being shared by 3 scientists who all carried out a pioneering research into black holes offer the $1100000.00 prize will go to britain's are roger penrose he provided mathematical proof that black holes exist back in the 1960 s. the other half is due to be shared by the 2 other witness its american astronomer andrea gets a german astrophysicist again so very work to prove the existence of a super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy the milky way. what is a black hole. black holes are among the weirdest objects in the universe there traps in space time where gigantic amounts of matter are compressed to a point so massive that it curved space almost infinitely and brings time to
11:12 pm
a standstill and the border of this bizarre world is known as the event horizon. the german astronomer. did seminal calculations of the defining parameter describing the event horizon. black holes are formed when massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle or when the compact remains of death stars emerge that's how the light weights among these gravitational traps are born they're called stellar black holes those gravity ranges from between a few times to some 10 times that of our sun media massive black holes can have up to 100000 times the solar mass and the really giant super massive ones lurk at the center of many galaxies millions even billions of times as massive as the sun. and black holes grow by sucking up everything in their vicinity even might can't escape
11:13 pm
the gravity. traps and they merge with one another to grow. albert einstein predicted them in his general theory of relativity. but they were 1st detected around 90 years later in the center of our galaxy the milky way is one such invisible mass that accelerates nearby stars to incredible speeds. telescopes around the world were synchronized to capture the 1st ever image of a black hole. the relatively unspectacular looking picture shows the place where time comes to a standstill the dark event horizon surrounded by a ring of light from the hot matter that orbits the black hole it was a milestone in astronomy. the w. koch talked with one of the 3 winners german astro physicist and i had done so so
11:14 pm
how did he at least he can go about proving the existence of a black hole at the center of the milky way. and so what we've done in the galactic center is by using the gravitational pull of the central object which she assumed might be a black hole of $4000000.00 solar masses on to the gas and the stars so ron reagan more precisely measuring their motions we could show number one the newton's theory was not adequate and that you indeed need need einstein's theory and that the only plausible solution of the object is a massive black hole. alleged guitarist and songwriter eddie van halen has died after a long battle with cancer. and together with his brother alex he formed the band that later became van halen in 197210 years after their family had emigrated to the u.s. from the netherlands
