marianna, good morning to you. very busy day on the campaign trail, but mostly for the surrogates. >> reporter: that's right, you guys. we're seeing a number of people out on the campaign trail in these final days ahead of election day. as you mentioned, former president barack obama just days after being in pennsylvania, which is where we will see the former vice president today. obama heading down to north miami, which, we should talk a little bit about why he's going there, in that part of the city. first and foremost for the campaign, they've really been targeting north miami because it does represent a number of coalitions that they're trying to turn out, from seniors to black voters, specifically haitian voters, where they want to mobilize and turn them out as much as possible to potentially make up for other deficits, other vote losses with other minority communities, specifically, the latino community. while biden is expected to win it, he does have a tighter gap than hillary clinton did against trump withi

guys. >> all right, nbc's marianna sotomayor live in washington. thank you. >>> also new this morning, president trump says that he's no longer taking medication after being released from the hospital. >> we had our final doses of just about everything. actually, the original transfusion, that's supposed to last for about four months, you know, the antibodies. and i think you're supposed to be protected anywhere from two to four months, and maybe longer than that. >> well, joining us now is dr. howard ko, former hhs assistant secretary for health during the obama administration. doctor, good morning to you. so happy you're with us. so, in this interview, the president says he's back to normal, he's feeling strong. but an interview can't really replace a medical evaluation, so what can we deduce, if anything, about how the president is actually doing? >> well, there's still so many questions about the president's health right now. the cdc guidelines state that for people with mild and moderate covid, they should be isolated for at least ten days. th

the bbc‘s specialist disinformation reporter marianna spring explains. talking about the supreme court, police reform and other big issues. there is also attention on the pandemic and donald trump's hospitalisation after testing positive for covid—19 but there isa positive for covid—19 but there is a parallel conversation happening filled with conspiracy and rivers. this is how you can spot false claims and hoaxes on your social media feeds. tip one, if it figures strong emotions, think before you share. ever heard of qanon, it isa you share. ever heard of qanon, it is a false conspiracy theory that president trump is fighting a secret war against elite satan worshipping paedophiles. we can all agree that child abuse and human trafficking are upsetting and terrible crimes that many people do not realise what is really behind seemingly little as tags, part of a bigger politically motivated disinformation campaign. if you see a claim made on social media made about the election that makes you feel really emotional, pause for a second, get to the bottom of

a senior political analyst marwan bashar joins us live via skype from doha in marianna i suppose it's important to be aware that this this newest deal chest reflects existing realities in the region what what could it mean for israel's treatment of the palestinians it will probably worsen israel's treatment of the poster didn't. think now they have leverage course american. and in a sense we can see the expansion of israeli settlements the illegal settlements going on and we're probably going to see here sooner than later the annexation of a city there but for international viewers just a bit more of a simple world this is going to be more in justice the worse the palestinians so those in washington speaking about peace in the believes they understand all too well that the palestinians have been living under occupation. for more than half a century and they've been dispossessed of their homeland for more than 70 years and this is going on and this is getting worse and for those who cared about peace in the middle east it's not just a sense i mean if the him right these are really conc

here's a bit more information about the group. 0ur disinformation reporter marianna spring joins me now why now? facebook did crack down on qanon backin facebook did crack down on qanon back in august, but that crackdown doesn't appear to have been effective. they just banned doesn't appear to have been effective. theyjust banned groups and pages that had been promoting violent content, but qanon plugs a range of disinformation, from coronavirus to political disinformation about the us election, so it makes sense that they are looking to act now, weeks away from polling day in the us. this is a big move from facebook and one that will be difficult to go through with, because they are planning to ban all qanon accounts on facebook, instagram and the like. qanon supporters are very versatile. what we noticed when the last crackdown happened was that they started to use more part hashtags like save our children or save the children in a bid to not only escape the new measures, but to reach new audiences, local facebook groups, pa rent audiences, local facebook groups, parent forums and oth

thank you very much, marianna spring.gent in 1931. but over time, the auditorium became jaded. now, though, it‘s been brought back to this, a lavish recreation of the original cinema. the restoration is as detailed as a hollywood period drama. from the carpets... ..to the paint colours on the walls... ..to the seats... it‘s as close to the 1930s design as they could get. for those that run it, this is a cinematic time capsule. what are the major changes that you brought here in terms of your refurbishment? we‘ve brought back a slice of the 19305, really. it just wasn‘t really making sense any more, visually or in terms of comfort. and often with these heritage buildings, actually rewinding and bringing them back to the way they were meant to be originally is what makes sense. comedies from ealing are just one of the genres being tried out for the new roster of films here. gary trinder, who led the renovations, says whilst other chains are being closed by covid restrictions, here, they‘re determined to stay open, using the

i'm joined by our specialist disinformation correspondent marianna spring. going to need you are in absolutely every day. over the weekend allsorts of stuff online? yes, on friday when the news initially broke social media was full of conspiracy theories and this information. that's where this information. that's where this information. the conflicting information. the conflicting information from the white house especially on saturday about how it trump was, when he had initially been diagnosed with coronavirus and what treatment he was receiving, resulted even more conspiracy theories. it is always important when we talk about the story to remember the political backdrop. the us election is approaching. the white house want to put the best spin on this possible and opponents of trump are looking to attack him as well. that results in a lot of disinformation. for example, we have seen suggestion from republicans that the democrats deliberately tried to infect trump with coronavirus at the presidential debate last week. no evidence to support that. we have a
