3:10 pm
a military hospital where he's expected to remain for several days more he earlier showed a video thanking his supporters. one of the everybody for the tremendous support of the poor to walter reed hospital i think i'm doing very well but we're going to make sure the things work the 1st lady is doing very well so we're thank you very much very appreciated. here white house doctors earlier the president received antibody therapy a number of people close to mr trump of also recently tested positive the administration says the president will carry on in his role but many of his political opponents are hoping he won't open up reports any talk of an october surprise a game changing event that comes right before a us election has been pretty common in the united states for the past several decades well this year's october surprise is here it came in the form of
3:11 pm
a positive coded 19 test for donald trump and the 1st lady the nation is in shock the white house knew that hope except jessop. and the president had been in close contact with her yet he proceeded to still travel yesterday 1st fundraiser he is not able to fully perform his his duties as commander in chief we were seeing people without masks regularly we're seeing people stopping to not socially distancing they stop taking temperatures for people who are regular visitors to the white house and we have seen that it has ended up in the worst case scenario for the white house with donald trump got tested after it was confirmed that his staffer hope ics had been infected the results came in and it was pretty clear at that point that the campaign is now curving in a new direction now let's not forget that donald trump actually downplayed the coded 19 threat and even mocked joe biden for being more cautious looks like by april you know in theory when it gets a little warmer miraculously goes away hope that's true we have
3:12 pm
a very much going to go right here in the united states is lowest in numerous categories were lower than the world they wanted me to come out it's crazy fearful of dying with. we did it just the right way now we're weeks away from a vaccine we're doing therapeutics already fewer people are dying when they get sick far fewer people are dying we've done a great. democrats jumped on donald trump's diagnosis to once again call him out for mis handling the crisis going into crowds unmasked and all the rest of this sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen the president of the united states and republicans in minnesota are actively spreading a deadly virus they are risk to the public health of my constituents and our country though they have not done so in the past the administration must now followed the science and all recommended health prosecute you know and to not put
3:13 pm
additional people who risk and they must be completely transparent some of the reactions have gotten rather. oddly it's been against my moral identity to tweet this for the past 4 years but i hope he dies the 2nd scheduled debate intended for the discussion of foreign policy remains up in the air even if donald trump doesn't get too badly sick he'll still be under quarantine now let us not forget that donald trump is 74 years old and overweight he's in a high risk group for home cove it can be lethal but i want to really trust the information coming out of the white house you have no idea how sick you is a 74 years old he's overweight he's in a high risk group and he may become a severely ill if he goes into intensive care the way boris johnson did in april that could lead to a constitutional question as to who actually will run the white house and the constitutional mechanisms extremely slow extremely inefficient and.
3:14 pm
maybe faulty in design it's hard to believe nancy pelosi taking over the white house but it's that's what the law says though it may very well happen the situation is unprecedented the us is that going to a period of extreme turmoil things were already struggling left enough as they were now they are doubly so. over a dozen campaign rallies have now been cancelled so how will the public react will there be sympathy for donald trump now that he's been in fact it or will this be seen as further confirmation of the democrats' argument that he lacks clear judgment only the voters can answer that question. r.t. new york. living the program rush's environmental regulators are investigating a spike in sea pollution in the country's far east the problem was detected off the coast of cum chop it started earlier this week when surfers in the area felt sick they reported severe. sore throat snow fatigue since then people have small

let's start back in the northeast of any event the murder of middlesboro has spoken dollars against new coronavirus restrictions saying they're doing more harm than good and the preston talked to our. government announced to extraordinary short notice they certainly didn't communicate with us at all a range of measures to to try and protect people from these measures went way beyond what was necessary and they're actually going to stifle all kinds of problems and of course thousands potentially thousands of job losses because damage mental health and are going to break down some of the elements of society that the really important cherished health doesn't necessarily just means physical health it means mental health and mental health is severely impacted when you cannot even
3:18 pm
stand in your garden and have a coffee to meet with from a neighbor because that's what's coming your mental health suffers when you lose your job or your partner does or your parents by the way physical health will suffer with these new rules 2 people will not go out they will not interact they will not mix so a lot of people get a lot less exercise. and the new restrictions also affect liverpool warrington and hartley pulling could a ban on people from different higher sort of mixing indoors interacting outdoors it is not banned but it's this courage and only essential travel is allowed now even before these measures were introduced the areas mentioned were among those under harsher curbs than the majority of the u.k. the middle of america stands by the way has been heavily criticized with the u.k. community secretary branding it irresponsible while one of the murders colleagues on the time council called him reckless and the president again insists he's taking
3:19 pm
the pandemic seriously. so i'm not soft on coal but i want to control it but we have to find a way of allowing the lights to go on mental health to be ok and physical health to be ok what we do know from our local experts is that 80 percent in fact just over 80 percent of all cold infractions are happening within the home so we agreed with the government that it temporary restriction on socialising homes a really good idea categorically that should not spill out to your garden similarly we want to make sure that our venues are very well run and we want to make sure that people could meet for a bite to eat a cup of tea maybe even a beer in a safe well run environment in a socially just setting none of those 3 environments none of those 3 things are intrinsically risky so we feel that the government is important some of it goes way beyond what was necessary. to let's bring it to germany where

3:22 pm
in germany around 10000 people have lost their lives to it already if we look at the increase in the number of cases that we're seeing just a couple of months ago in an organist. $385.00 was around the amount that we were seeing per day on friday this week $2833.00 confirmed cases now measures are coming in place that are going to be tougher this was announced by the chancellor last week this means that there's going to be stronger restrictions in red zones areas that have a high number of cases of the virus there's going to be restrictions on the number of people that can gather it events waiting this it being blamed for the spread of the virus in some parts of the country parties as well alcohol sales are going to be limited as well to just bars and restaurants and a hope to stop people from drinking in parks and having large gatherings there now

the elderly and chronically ill have also being strongly advised to get a flu vaccination that so that the standard flu pandemic flu epidemic that we get every year doesn't end up compounding the pressure that's put on the health service that's the way it's looking here in germany crowds unhappy gathering in the 7 city of constance but those restrictions that are there to stop the spread of the coronavirus aren't going anywhere anytime soon. possibly marks exactly 3 decades since the reunification of germany and once and for berlin the celebrations were overshadowed by st thomas in these images you can see several left wing activists being detained after they hurled rocks and bottles and police officers the were protesting against the far right march led by a group called the 3rd party security forces held the rival crowds parts of.
3:24 pm
the dongs in the dollars site the u.s. has launched a probe into vietnam's trade practices a move that could result in punitive part of the top administration invoke the same legal article that started trade war with china. president trump is firmly committed to combating unfair trade practices that tom america's workers businesses pharmacy and ranchers and for currency practices can harm u.s. workers some businesses that compete with vietnamese products that may be artificially low priced because of currency undervaluation it follows a decade of powerful growth in vietnamese exports to the united states surging from just $15000000000.00 in 2010 to almost 67000000000 last year recently the trend has been accelerated by firms shifting their production to vietnam to avoid u.s. tariffs on china on helping other welcome onto the program jack ruggedness jack is professor of political economy at st mary's college in california can i put a point across here 1st of all the u.s.
3:25 pm
you know has done enormous damage to vietnam in the past 20 years of war a 20 year economic blockade which left millions of vietnamese in dire poverty surely vietnam is the last place washington should be looking out for a tara for. now well you've got to realize that you know threats of currency manipulation that are leveling now against me at nama this is always a prelude declaration before the us goes in and demands some concessions from a country it doesn't mean that they're manipulating their currency but that's just the cold word here look you know the trade war in us trumps trade war with china has been a trouble devastate swap. chief then he thinks so he's got to in this election year look like he's top on trade near as the appeals through the base particularly. the front base is going to look like doing something less so
3:26 pm
he's opening up this new offensive against the vietnam vets that it's the mystic politics and part but it's never really curiously manipulating in fact you know if the dollar is too high the currents in a lot of countries no decline or if you've got the global recession and the dollar and smalling but the other countries tourists are falling more dollars you know the benchmark currency well it looks like you know their their currency is being manipulated but you know manipulation means no you have a political move to try to write the currency down it's not because of economic condition and this condition who knows the united states now it turns to change rates are always the dollar in relationship to another current sink and the one rises the other naturally falls and vice versa so there's no currency manipulation not received snoozing it's china and that was false through this is this is all about domestic politics making it look like he's going to do something 1st base but
3:27 pm
it's interesting you say that type because the u.s. treasury department says that the vietnamese currency is undervalued about 5 percent to mean that doesn't sound like very much is it really worth launching an investigation over of you know. well. if you want to repeal too you know campaign contributions and the boat here in another month yeah sure it's mostly politics you know there's other countries currency is a try and even more to the u.s. dollar but you don't hear anything about that no you know but let's go after asia. vietnam has one of the highest economic growth rates in the world around 7 percent a year could this be derailed if the u.s. goes ahead at with tar us well it all depends what goods if they go after you know a lot of agricultural goods coming out of me. in all the plans but nothing's going to happen here. 2021 this this is all smoke and mirrors this is all
3:28 pm
politics. and of course if they really go after vietnam i don't think they will it could have a negative effect on their economy no doubt about it there may be some of the political objectives here in the u.s. wants to to deal maybe that you know a more aggressive. china. sea islands you know that may be behind it to the u.s. and russia all the countries politically to get tougher on the chinese plane than the person concerned for so you know all this this time it could be you know one thing and another just point just to briefly touch upon this being a large shift of high tech production to vietnam in recent years a few examples. limpets microsoft they have relocated much of their production from china to fit in and with this in mind what's happening now is do you expect the
3:29 pm
trend to continue. well you know a lot of the technology stuff is really mass production chips and so forth i don't see a lot of new u.s. production technology here so we're moving to the non it's this stuff that they can produce not high tech but you know cheap cheap cheap labor kind of stuff you know maybe this is the do something with taiwan because taiwan is losing a lot been the nominee u.s. must not want to get up against china so maybe this is a backdoor concession as well i am much in the antenna jack of all their countries in similar situations are going up just watching very closely what happens if the at nama is in the firing line of a u.s. trade war these other nations they're going to start being wary of what washington could do next correct well yes you know washington the minute the late since the economic empire through financial means and trade means you know the dollars the
3:30 pm
global currency a so if you want to schlep a country in line that's out of line or taking advantage of our country you know you you just. you destroy the currency that's the 1st thing you do when you deny them the right to access you know what markets are so when the markets are good examples venezuela destroy the currency and you really push them into concessions so every country out there knows that it's currency a destruction in manipulating the swiss international pregnant system. find out who's violating your sitting should you know the dollar the seriousness of them the sanctions and trade war are all part of the way that the u.s. economic empire is the month just a touch upon something you said earlier in terms of be of action how much do you think doing something implementing pace will will give a bump to the trump vote in november. not.
