hello, i'm katty kay in washington. christian fraser is in london. there's been a seismic collision of forces in recent hours involving a pandemic, the personal health of an american president and a healthy dose of politics. at about 1am last night here in washington, as many of us were sleeping, president trump tweeted that he and first lady melania trump had tested positive for covid—19. that kicked off an avalanche of events that are set to continue through election day. now, we should note, democrats and republicans, world leaders and others have come out to wish the president a speedy recovery. but this is a president that initially played down the seriousness of coronavirus. he's held large rallies. he's made jokes about masks. and yesterday, despite being told that senior aide hope hicks had tested posititive, he went ahead with a trip to new jersey anyway. here's our north american editorjon sopel. as you know, tonight's al smith dinner.... last night, one of the great pre—election traditions, the president attending the al smith dinner, wher

bottom line, katty. exhaustion can lead to concern. for some, a sense of fear about what might happen. do you have any fears? any of these many scenarios that are out there of what might happen? is there something that strikes fear for you? >> look, it's really hard for me to think that the united states could go into civil unrest over the transfer of power. something in me resists contemplating that. i wouldn't be surprised if we had incidents like the one we have seen in michigan with the governor this week where you get groups sparking small incidents of unrest around the country. i think if president trump really litigates this and refuses to accept the result and calls on his supporters as we have seen him kind of suggest in the past in the debate, that could prompt those incidents. massive civil unrest? i find that hard to see. >> charlie, i know you cover national security with the michigan attorney general who last week said in fact there was this plot to kidnap the governor, it was actually a civil war attempt. how much was rh

katty, we will back with you.the heavier you are, the higher the risk of having serious complicatons, with covid—i9. our medical editor fergus walsh looks at the risk to president trump's health. donald trump has several factors which raise his risk profile for coronavirus — his age, weight, and being a man. at 7a, he's often insisted how healthy he is, despite a love of burgers and hot dogs. age is the biggest risk factorfor covid—i9. in the united states, eight out of ten deaths have been among the over—65s. the risk of dying for somebody aged 65 to 7a is 90 times higher than for someone in their 20s. to put that in context, a recent international study found that once infected with coronavirus, the chances of dying were around one in 100 at age 65, one in 25 at 75, and one in seven at 85. the president and first lady of the united states... the first lady, melania trump, is just 50, 2a years younger than donald trump, and physically fit, so her risk from covid should be low. the president is six foot three and

hello i'm katty kay in atlanta, georgia, christian fraser is in london.e've talked about whether the polls are wrong and whether trump can still win this election. but there's another possibility — a huge repudiation of donald trump's presidency that sweeps democrats into office across the country. we're not saying it's going to happen, but with the polls as they are, it is a possibility strategists from both parties are talking about. and, if there is a big blue wave, georgia will be the crest — the sign of a very good night forjoe biden. nationally — in the polls — joe biden is ahead of donald trump by an average of 9 points. and that lead has helped tighten the polls in georgia a new new york times polljust out has them tied at a5. georgia has 16 of those essential electoral college votes — no democrat has won it since bill clinton in 92. and this year, unusually, there are also two senate seats up for grabs in georgia both races too close to call. enthusiasm is high — 1.7 million georgians have already voted. texas is the biggest southern state that d

katty come i don't think this timeline makes any sense.atient was exposed on day zero and developed symptoms around day five, it's not until often day 7—10 or even it's not until often day 7—10 or even sometimes 12 that we see those who get severely ill start to develop those severe infections. so if he did really only become symptomatic say thursday or so, he's not out of the woods by any means, he is not to that 10—day period today, and which case, what was the point of going to walter reed and just being there for three days? the only other thought is that maybe the timeline isn't right, maybe he was sent to medic earlier, we just don't know. but it doesn't fit. ok, doctor long, thank you very much for joining us. thank you very much. a lot more on this, right? fascinating, both the timeline and the medical situation, who he is now going to handle a campaign. all of it, christian, still unanswered questions. and if we have as much news over the next four weeks as we have had over the last four days, this campaign is going to keep us all

what about you katty?erica who has done quarantine as strict as that. do you think it's replicable in europe and america was not do you think what south korea could be done in the west? i've done it twice now. i think as a person very very difficult to do. i can see the temptation if there is no barrier to you leaving. by day 13 you want to climb the walls. i think when it comes to the penalty and the realisation of what this population with think of you, if you love quarantine now that's not to say south korea hasn't gone through quarantine hundreds have. they have been faced with very strict penalties if you do break quarantine you can get an ankle bracelet put on but they trace every movement. also there is a prison sentence if you break quarantine a number of times. so the penalties are there. i do think it would be difficult to replicate because certainly the phone app, the mass surveillance of the tracing here. is something that perhaps the west will stomach. but i have to say it kept is not a lockdo

it's going to be really hard for him, katty! if he is feeling well, he is going to want to get back and start chatting to people, chatting to his aides and seeing people stop undoubtedly, here's the important thing. i did this myself and the president has to do this himself. you must be isolated, you must remain away from others. the technology in the white house is not the same. he can talk to his aides and do everything he needs to do except that they want to be there in the room with him. that's an important distinction, the president is going to have to power through. and you and i know he would love to be in the oval office, roaming around the west wing of the white house, talking to anybody and everyone, but he must stay quarantine. actually come as he twitted this evening, he would like to be back on the campaign trail. that's what he will he wants to be doing, but we'rejust that's what he will he wants to be doing, but we're just speaking to a doctor, and he said he is the tinges —— he is contagious potentially. he canno

and from bbc world america, katty kay is with us this morning. so president trump was discharged from walter reed medical center exactly one week ago and many details of his recovery are still unknown. in another interview yesterday on fox news, the president claimed that he's now immune to the virus. >> the note that you have revealed from your doctor which says you are no longer considered a transmission risk, does this suggest you no longer have covid, sir? >> yes, and not only that, it seems like i'm immune. i passed the highest test, the highest standards and i'm in great shape. i feel fantastic and i feel good by the fact, you know, the word immunity means something having really a protective glow. it means something, i think it's very important to have that. >> protective glow? if he really has that protective glow it raises the question as to whether he had it knowingly during the presidential debate that he showed up late to. >> he didn't have the glow during the debate. he looked bad during the debate and he performed so badly during th

hello, i'm katty kay in washington. christian fraser is in london.er day, i was asked by someone in france if this was going to be a boring election becausejoe biden seems to have it in the bag. my answer was no, it won't be and no, he doesn't. yes, mr biden has had a steady stream of encouraging poll numbers recently and the media is, in turn, reflecting the view that he is likely to beat donald trump. but as we learnt in 2016, making bold predictions about us elections is a risky business, especially when there are also some very positive signs for mr trump. take a look at these numbers. voter registration patterns in key battleground states show that republicans have done way better than democrats in adding new voters to the rolls, as is the case in florida, pennsylvania and north carolina. lots to go over. let's bring in senior political writer for the polling site fivethirtyeight, clare malone. thank you very much forjoining us. we have seen digestionjoe biden is almost untouchable and we see these voter registration numbers —— suggestions. repu

hello i'm katty kay in washington. christian fraser is in london.hree weeks from today, americans go to the polls. there are actually voting in dozens of states, weeks before the actual november three election date. by one count, nearly 11 million voters have already cast their ballots. but the campaign has kicked into new high gear because donald trump is back on the road after recovering from covid. back from the dutch on the road and basking in the adulation of the crowds. he has a booked every night this week. yesterday it was florida, tonight it's pennsylvania. both key states. jon sopel reports. # and i'm proud to be an american... he's back and, oh, is he relieved to be on the road again, tossing out facemasks, perhaps an unusual choice, seeing as he wasn't wearing one and neither was most of the audience. though probablyjust as well, seeing as what he expressed he wanted to do to them. ifeel so powerful, i'll walk into that audience. i'll walk in there, i'll kiss everyone in that audience. i'll kiss the guys and the beautiful women and every

hello, i'm katty kay in washington, james reynolds is in london.my coney barrett promises to apply the law as it is written, not as she wishes it were. which sounds entirely reasonable and ought to reassure democrats that the judge does not intend to use a seat on the supreme court to further her own, conservative philosophy. except, they clearly don't really believe her. democratic senators — who are in the minority in the senate — think coney barrett will tilt the highest court in the land to the right, potentially for decades to come. but, there's little they can do about it. republicans control the senate and have the numbers to confirm her. aleem maqbool reports. if confirmed, amy tony barrett will play a huge role... the stakes are that high. the republican chair of the senate committee making the decision once promised not to try and confirm a supreme courtjustice in the last year of a presidential term. but he has reneged on that. this is going to be a long, contentious week. i would just ask one thing of the committee. to the extent possib

hello, i'm katty kay in miami, christian fraser is in london.e back in florida — and we promise it's notjust because it's getting cold in washington and we wanted some warm weather. come election night, all eyes will be on this state — for several reasons. for a start — it's a big state. to win the white house, the successful candidate needs 270 electoral college votes — florida has 29 of them. so that's a good haul. it's also a state that flips between democrat and republican. barack obama won it twice. donald trump took it back in 2016. and to give you an idea just how tight the race can be in florida, cast your mind back to the 2018 senate race, the republican rick scott defeated the incumbent bill nelson but by the tiniest of margins — there were just 10,000 votes between them, in a state with m million eligible voters. yes. now, out here, we found yesterday, we were driving around miami, it is certainly true that president trump supporters are very enthusiastic. we were driving along, came to our highway, suddenly in a traffic jam and it ca

i'm katty kay. thank you for watching world news america. good evening.st of this week. wet and windy weather at times. this deep area of low pressure with when surrounded, touching 100 mph and way out the north atlantic, not coming to close and it is through this with a front which tonight, we'll linger across the northeast of scotland in the best luncheon by the day and said to go through the night with clear conditions in its wake, but relatively warm for this time of year and that means shower clouds billowed up and we'll keep going throughout the night or on some of these western coasts and there could be on the heavy side to the english channel. central and eastern areas where the clear skies and a cool start to tomorrow morning. tomorrow will be a story of sunshine and heavy thundershowers with those blustery winds blowing all the way across the atlantic and whipping up some pretty rough sees to the west and highest of the waves to the west of ireland with the could touch around 35 feet or more. so, over ten metres. dangerous ease, be wary of that.
