trail 10 days after it was revealed he was positive for covert 19 u.s. president donald trump headed to a rally in florida on monday a white house doctor announced that he had tested negative for the outdoor event in florida is the 1st of several stops edgel this week trump seemed confident patients across the country would get the same treatment he received and we've made tremendous progress if you look at what we're doing with their punic said frankly killers we've made tremendous progress and i said to my people we're going to take whatever they're they gave me and we're going to distribute it around to hospitals and everyone is going to have the same. thing i mean while democratic nominee joe biden visited another battleground state as one of several socially distanced events across ohio he attacked trump's handling of the pandemic that's down jobs presidency 250000 dead because of crude. experts

say we're likely to lose another 200000 people in the next few months unless we take some serious action and he doesn't know what he's doing all because his presence only worried about one thing the stock market he refused to follow the science it's estimated we just warnings mass nationally we save over $100000.00 lives between now and the end of the year. biden has now headed to florida himself with election day just 3 weeks away both campaigns are in overdrive. well let's bring in d.-w. is william glue croft william trump seems to be in fighting form again what are his doctors saying and when trump says to the american people that i'm going to get the same treatment for you that i got should they believe him well that's would be a difficult claim as as is the fact that he's negative his doctors did say before

the florida event that he was negative but there's a lot of questions about exactly what kind of tests and how many tests and when the who the hows and wherefores of him being negative are still very much a matter of speculation there's thought that he was only getting these rapid tests which are far less reliable than a p.c.r. test and it's a p.c.r. test that you need to show your negative to really claim and confirm that your negative and as far as the health insurance issue you know the united states has phenomenal health care but it has terrible health access you know america has great hospitals and doctors and research and medicines and if everybody got the kind of care that donald trump was able to get sure coronavirus might not be such a big deal but if everybody in america was even theoretically able to have that kind of health care access it would also crush the health care system because not everyone can have that kind of interval individualized attention and all the medicines he got some of which for experimental so it's really a far cry to look at the kind of care the president got the kind of care that

average americans get right when as we see in the senate right now with the judiciary committee hearings the main issue with especially the democrats are bringing up is health access and health care which is coming up to the supreme court that could be struck down as unconstitutional. trump is in florida has been in florida he's putting a lot of emphasis on that state he seems to feel he needs to win it how important is florida in this election i think anyone who follows presidential elections knows that florida is an important state an interesting state always causing some trouble for campaigns we know the infamous case in 2000 where really came down to a few 100 votes in florida it's a very important state 29 electoral votes often razor thin margins regardless of who wins and that's because florida is a very diverse state you have a large jewish population of large l g b t 2 populations you have very rural conservative voters you have cuban vote a large cuban community and they tend to be the most conservative of latino voting

groups so it's a very interesting diverse mix of people and that's what causes these razor thin margins but it should be noted that biden in a composite of polling is up 4 to 5 points in florida so regardless of the pictures that we saw there in the rally that might not be what many floridians are thinking so biden is looking pretty good and florida is looking pretty good over the whole country of course with some exceptions but overall biden has a strong lead over trump what does he need to do to keep it that's right by then is up nationally is up by about 10 points and in many of the key swing states he's up anywhere from 5 to 10 points right now it looks very difficult how this doesn't state as far as polling data goes doesn't stay in biden's favor biden would really have to put his foot in his mouth which she does have a history of doing we should note but would really have to do something insane for these kinds of polls to really change back towards trump's favor but we should also note that these polls were also in hillary clinton's favorite 2016 and the

probability is another another question a look at probability right now has trump excuse me as by then with about it 86 percent favor believe winning this election which is better than hillary clinton that's a 16 when i was about a 7030 split between clinton and trump but we should by no means be calling the election 3 weeks before it actually happens 3 weeks is a long time and all of the 6 william gluco from our team covering the u.s. elections thanks so much. check out some other stories making headlines around the world today the u.s. senate has opened hearings into the confirmation of president trump's supreme court nominee any kone barretts republicans are pushing to fill the vacant seat before the next before next month's election if confirmed there would reinforce the conservative tilt of america's highest court. well asian opposition leader anwar ibrahim has met with the king in a bid to prove he has the support needed to oust prime minister. last month and

various areas have surpassed the threshold of 50 infections per 100000 residents over one week including german cities like berlin munich frankfurt and cologne. to try to stop the spread of the virus many german states have introduced travel restrictions for people who live in the risk areas in the states they can't stay in hotels or guest houses unless they show a negative covert 19 tests no older than 48 hours or quarantine for 14 days but other states haven't imposed restrictions the picture is chaotic making it hard for people in germany to understand where they can travel to and under what conditions the federal government is the fending the measure but critics say the domestic travel restrictions won't help stop the pandemic and will put a strain on germany's testing system. in my opinion

really a reasonable. measure because most travelers are no really infectious so they are low risk. of very important and very very p.c.r. terrorists in order to make sure that. it is also very burdensome for the travelers and it is basically useless for controlling the penned in germany. the new restrictions have disrupted travel plans at a time when many families across the country normally go on vacation people are frustrated by the lack of clarity. on the one hand they think it's confusing for example i live in brandenburg and work in berlin and sometimes i wonder which rules apply where this always leads to some confusion and i would have liked more consistent rules i would prefer some uniform rules citizens would be more aware and maybe the rules would be communicated better. and if people understood the measures
