journey across the washington skyline towards bethesda and walter reed hospital all thanks very much allan fisher at the white house it's just timing $2200.00 g.m.t. all watching al-jazeera live from london and we're looking at a live shot here of the white house after learning that u.s. president donald trump will be moved to a special suite at the walter reed national military medical center that's going to he's going to be there for at least a few days the white house says as a precautionary step as also a suggestion that president trump has a mild fever we know that he was taking a cocktail of experimental drugs as part of his cover 1000 treatment it is possible that there could be a fever could be a side effect of those drugs or that perhaps his condition has deteriorated that's always a possibility with kovan 1000 because the symptoms can play out and change very quickly also had some reaction from u.s. democratic presidential nominee joe biden he says that his campaign is temporarily taking down negative ads regarding the president after his coven 1000 diagnosis so that's where we stand at

thanks very much allan fisher at the white house thank you and. well u.s. voters have been reacting to trump's positive diagnosis with some split some split on whether it's going to have an effect on the election i think one of his biggest sort of strategies was to make joe biden appear too weak to be president and so that he's got coronavirus that sort of takes that factor away so i think it could potentially greatly impact the election and put things more in biden's favor surprised it didn't happen much earlier. that he is not paid attention to the rules of his encourage other people not to pay attention to the rules so i hope it's a lesson i don't really think it will impact the election that much i don't think people will change their opinion because he has it now. i do worry that you know i hope he is well and he doesn't get sick very sick i think that i've already seen on fox news today that they're saying like oh well if he's 75 and he doesn't get severely ill then maybe older people aren't as high risk as they think so i'm hoping it doesn't take the

white house almost certainly donald trump is going to be there to see it allan thanks very much allan fisher on capitol hill in the senate. turkey's president is calling for a boycott on french goods following president in my own comments about islam and muslims like paul wants tougher laws to prevent what he calls separatism in french society after a teacher was beheaded earlier this month the home involved reports from doha. palestinian israeli protest against from outside the french ambassador's residence in tel aviv 6. it's a part of a wave of anger after the french president manuel micro refused to and also controversial cartoons depicting islam's prophet mohammed earlier this month french teacher some your party was beheaded by at such an attack after he showed his students the caricatures during a class on freedom of expression muslims consider it to blasphemy to show any depiction of the prophet french officials insist it's an act of freedom of speech. the idea of serious war stricken city over it protesters made their voice head. in dakar the capital of bangladesh they described mcc

is doing very well so would thank you very much i appreciate it i will never forget thank you allan fisher is at the white house and looks at how events have unfolded over the past 24 hours. people will say it's been a remarkable 4 years with donald trump in the white house that 2020 has been a remarkable year but this is still being a remarkable 24 hours by any standard it was late on thursday night that donald trump was told that one of his closest aides top picks someone who is always in his orbit had tested positive for covert he then went to a fundraiser at his golf course in new jersey called in to a t.v. show here in the united states to see that he was going to get a test for covert and just before 1 o'clock in the morning here in the u.s. donald trump tweeted out that he had tested positive as had the 1st lady confirmed by the white house a short time later no on friday morning we were told that the president was feeling a bit fatigued was running a small fever but was still continuing to work from the residence while self isolating and he had been in touch with senior staff to gi

was a better option than self isolating here at the white house all right thank you very much allan fisher also joining us now political analyst eric can eric what are your initial thoughts in response to this news only see this comes after the president's positive diagnosis for kovan 1000 he initially had mild symptoms being treated with a cold tail of drugs when speaking to medical professional who said that actually a fever so early on in his diagnosis could be the result of some sort of side effects just how how will people the majority of the public that the be processing and digesting this news. well when we 1st heard that the president had contracted the virus there were a lot of questions around this is the situation how would he be able to lead the government how would he be able to handle his role as commander in chief but also how would he be able to continue to campaign for reelection and i think now a lot of those questions were predicated on the president's health and how his body would be able to combat this virus and now we're getting those questions answered and clearly we

a few nights ago even though they were separate i want to bring in alison fisher who's in virginia for us allan this is clearly going to have some sort of impact if nothing else on the democrats' campaign and how they handle this going forward particularly with relation to joe biden. well we're expecting a statement from the biden campaign probably within the hour they will try and meet the mean 70 and bulletins on the main breakfast she was here in the united states the question that i believe they have debating is whether or not to add a political element to this statement or whether it will simply be joe biden wishing the president and the 1st lady well biden campaign is expecting to come under pressure from some republicans to suspend campaigning while the president is self isolating over the next couple of weeks that seems unlikely the biden campaign throughout this is being very careful about social distancing protocols you have hared numerous times don't trump talking about how joe biden always wears a mask joe biden perhaps more at risk because of his age he's of course $77.00 but

or alan fisher is of course following the story joins us live now from the white house and allan we've been talking about uncertainty and confusion there but i guess that's characteristic of what we've seen over the past few years what's known about president trump's condition at the moment. well they're trying to things in place so that the unknown doesn't become quite so scary the president is in the building behind me he's self isolating in there that is the residence of the white house to my left is the west wing where the oval office is but that's where he is in the residence and there are plenty of rooms there and he of course we are told is walking there he is on the phone regularly with his advisers he will self isolate for at least the 14 days that he was of their recommendations joe biden well he is he's been tested in the last few hours as well he of course shared the stage with the president on tuesday he has been told that he is negative but he like many others sending his best wishes to the president and to the 1st lady

alan fisher is a correspondent on capitol hill following events for us allan before we get on to thedetails of what have been said just seeing i mean it's still sitting there and taking question after question it's actually it's a it's a long and arduous process particularly for her. and you were there for at least another 6 hours because every senator on the committee gets to ask questions for 30 minutes and she'll be back again to morrow because every senator then gets a 2nd round of 20 minutes to ask questions she's doing this largely with oh no and she hasn't heard to any note books or any books she's been courting case law that has been quite interesting she's come to being questioned by him a closure a democrat who of course ran for president she asked about the position that the president has put forward on twitter saying that he would hope that the new supreme court justice would help overturn the affordable care act which of course we know as obamacare here in the united states and she said quite simply that she couldn't speak to what the president says on twitter but she ha

helen fisher is on capitol hill covering this one for us today hi allan interesting to watch that exchange because dianne feinstein putting the pressure on amy in contrast to say lindsey graham who we saw earlier who was well through lobbying a few softballs here we say. well certainly this hasn't been nearly as contentious as the brick oven our hearings which you remember happened 2 years ago at that point he was accused of sexually assaulting someone at a teenage party it got very very angry indeed there were very bitter exchanges break covena approached it in a very combative style this is much more laid but much more respectful people would say but still the democrats are trying to to make significant points they're asking him equally how she's likely to rule on very important cases touched on cases here in the united states such as money in politics on abortion on obamacare and obamacare is important we'll come back to that in a 2nd but she continues to say lou that she will not make any statement about something that could come in front of her if she were confirmed to the court and s

presidential election alan fisher is live for us on capitol hill where that senate vote will take place in the coming hours so what can we expect from the proceedings on capitol hill today allan how will democrats and all this. well the vote fully we're expecting in just over 5 hours time $730.00 here in the united states we're expecting that the republicans will win there is only one republican senator who has said that she is not comfortable with voting for a nominee for the supreme court this close to a presidential election so she will withhold her vote the other senator who was wavering and the democrats thought might be able to flip she has said that she will vote to confirm him equally but that means she will take up her position at some point on tuesday having been sworn in at a ceremony we're expecting at the white house at some point this evening she will become the 9th justice on the u.s. supreme court and will essentially solidify a 63 conservative majority on the court the republicans very much in favor of this appointment the democrats are suggesting that this has been rushed that it's less than a month since ruth bader ginsburg died and she of course famously s
