nic robertson joining us from london. nic, help us to understand what the rest of the world sees in the diagnosis and how they're reacting. >> reporter: i think there's concern, when you look at the headlines in the british newspapers today there are elements of concern. there are clearly people wondering how the election process will go, that's looking somewhat chaotic. i think the takeaways in the uk, in particular are, particularly after witnessing the prime minister go through this there was a huge amount of simple passenger for the prime minister in icu, but when he got out of the hospital that sympathy and support and boost in the polls that he had that disappeared pretty quickly because in essence, he was still struggling to get his hands around the pandemic. and that cost him a lot of popularity. the other thing the prime minister found out when he came out from hospital was it was just difficult to get fully back up to speed. his message for president trump is that he hopes he does make that sort of quick, strong recovery. >> obviously, i think we all want to send our best wishes to the president and the first lady. and i've done that this morning, as you can imagine. and i'm sure that they're both stage a very strong recovery. >> reporter: and president putin of russia said president trump's inherent vitality and good spirits will stand him in good stead. angela merkel wishing and another world leader as he recovers. >> we just got this from china's president xi jinping sending sympathy to the president and first lady and wishing them a speedy recovery that from the chinese foreign ministry. nicthank you so much. >>> the nfl's first coronavirus outbreak is still spreading. it's already forced one game to be rescheduled. how it's affecting others. last night's sleep, interrupted by pain? tonight, silence it with new zzzquil night pain. because pain should never get in the way of a restful night's sleep. new zzzquil night pain. silence pain, sleep soundly. honey honey? new nyquil severe honey is maximum strength cold and flu medicine with soothing honey-licious taste. nyquil honey. the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever best sleep with a cold medicine. stand up to moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and take. it. on... ...with rinvoq. rinvoq a once-daily pill... ...can dramatically improve symptoms... rinvoq helps tame pain, stiffness, swelling. and for some... rinvoq can even significantly reduce ra fatigue. that's rinvoq relief. with ra, your overactive immune system attacks your joints. rinvoq regulates it to help stop the attack. rinvo

for more cnn's selma azeez is standing by and nic robertson is joining us from london. nic, ireland's six-week lockdown is an extreme solution. how necessary is this? >> reporter: well, the government's health advisors met two weeks ago saying the country was on tier 3. they said the country should go to tier 5. the prime minister addressed the nation saying that it was necessary now to follow the advice of the scientists telling people that only essential retail stores would be open. that people could not congregate, not sort of mix households indoors or even in gardens. they could do it in public places. the retail stores, only the essential stores could remain open. people have to limit their travel to within five kilometers, three miles of their homes. that was the limit for their exercise as well. all of this, a very tough lockdown again. people being told that only essential workers and the difficulty for people now is a concerns. >> i would say devastated, to be honest. i think it was flagged it was going to happen, but at the same time i was hoping that maybe common

nic robertson with more on all of that, nic? >> the answer to the question is no. >> ukraine -- >> no. >> sir -- sir -- that is absolutely not true. >> europeans wrote yesterday what americans already knew. >> it was the worst debate i have ever seen. it wasn't even a debate. >> reporter: this german official calling it bad entertainment and with an eye to upcoming german elections declared, we don't want this kind of bad tone here. they tweeted their concerns. those vying for the u.s. presidency don't manage to discuss the country's problems in a factual way. in france tv commentators describe the exchanges as particularly violent where no one was the winner. ill-mannered, bad tempered, a brawl, a spectacle was how british journalists described the hour and a half no break debate. they said biden came out ahead. no one here in the u.k. was particularly surprised at the tone of the debate. many people say this is what they expected from president trump and biden while being a two-term vp is still a relative unknown here. people have given him some respect, however, for the fact he didn't take too much of president trump's bait. >> i will rejoin the paris accord. >> reporter: biden soothed international concerns, trump amplified fears appearing to praise the proud boys for their confrontation. >> proud boys, stand back and stand by. >> reporter: even putin spokesman feigned concern over a new trend in political culture in the u.s. but after this comment added the kremlin wouldn't be commenting on be the elections. >> china's fault. it should have never happened. they stopped it from going in but it was china's fault. >> reporter: china on the other hand did comment forcefully. >> translator: we resolutely oppose u.s. personnel dragging china into this election. facts are proven that the u.s. accusations against china have no basis and are untenable. >> reporter: iran's president also bashing trump. saying our enemies have been unsuccessful in the past several years but will be in the final months. of issue of greatest import to the american allies, up holding america as a beacon of democracy. >> if i see tens of thousands of ballots being manipulated, i can't go along with that. >> reporter: trump doused the light in favor of darkness preferred by america's enemies. nic robertson, cnn, london. >>> joining me now from new york is jamie netzel, senior fellow and atlantic counsel. great to see you. americans know that last night was a mess, but what are the international implications for such a display, i suppose, of chaos? >> it was worst than a display of chaos. it was a national disgrace. it would be bad enough if we in the united states had to experience this just terrible spectacle and watch our democracy decline in front of our eyes because of the behavior of president trump. but the stakes are so much bigger for our allies around the world who depended on america for the security and well-being, this was terrifying. for our adversaries in places like china, russia, iran, this was a cause for celebration because after so many years of the united states being the backbone of the west and a model for how we can all aspire to a better life, it's now become just a sad spectacle for everybody to watch. >> in many ways was that the trump white house's f

nic robertson joins us live from london. ni c nic. it's happening all across europe. you have it in spain, germany, and the uk, the local authorities in the city of man chester and other areas north of the country are pushing back against the government over local lock down issues. i think whichever country it is, you know, in germany, it seems to be the businesses that are pushing back, taking central government to court in berlin, and saying we want to keep our bars and restaurants open later in the evening. in madrid and spain, it's the local courts saying the government lock down restrictions infringe on peop people's rights, but i think broadly what you're seeing is a frustration between central government and the people. fatigue by the people who, you know, are running out of patience. they want the coronavirus pandemic to be over, and they don't think that their governments are doing a good job. so you have this fatigue. you have this frustration. but that in itself is being driven by this loss of faith in central governments by local leaders, by local people that the central governments aren't making the right decisions. here in the uk, the central government has said boris johnson's government has said it will always follow the advice of the scientists. the scientists have now said you need a national lock down. what we're hearing from the local leaders in manchester is if they're going to be pushed by the government into a tighter local lock down, they need more support for their businesses. why? because they fear that those businesses will move to other parts of the country. so again, broadly, it is this frustration in central government's handling that people don't think it's being handled properly. that's the broader narrative across europe and of course it doesn't make it easy for governments with weighted decisions. it's balance against business and the economy against the health and welfare of people. that trust in government is ebbing. >> nictson, in london. >>> cnn has learned a top white house official recently met with the assad regime in an effort to release american prisoners believed to be held by syria. the senior director for counter terrorism at the national security council made the trip with the support of president trump. the u.s. and syria have not had diplomatic relations since 2012. cnn previously reported that the president wrote a letter to syria's president earlier this year, offering quote direct dialogue about journalist awe t -- austin tice. >>> separated by 2,000 miles and a shade of blue, the 2020 world series is set. the bleacher report is next. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo-hoo! great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients to support immune health. when being a fan on a budget gets tough... ...our agents do the legwork,... ...so saving on auto insurance is... easy usaa. what you're made of,

nic robertson, live in london for that. plus, just the international reaction to this major breaking news, nic. >> yeah, john, there's absolutely been an outflowing, an outpouring of support and sympathy for the first lady and the president from vladimir putin of russia, moon jae-in, you name the world leader, they are offering their support and sympathy, including boris johnson, who's wishing donald trump and melania trump the best and speediest recovery. and this is a guy who knows what it's like. and i think there were -- from our experience here in the uk with the prime minister got sick at the end of march, ended up in the hospital for a week, three days in icu in hospital, the experiences here -- there were three major takeaways. one is the spin that comes from the back office. two is the sympathy from the public, and then there's the struggle. so the spin, number ten downing street was telling the country the prime minister was still going through his ministerial papers. yet the very next day, he goes into icu in the hospital. so the back office was really trying to present a very rosy picture. then there was the sympathy. and that was quite noticeable. this was the prime minister who had failed to have enough ppe for medical workers. he was already being heavily criticized for his handling of covid-19. but the notion turned that moment that the country found out that he went into hospital. they turned. there was a lot of sympathy for him, a lot of support, everyone wishing him well, and that sense for the nation of what's going to happen. but when he got out and he was on that road to recovery, that sympathy fell away again because there were so many problems. and then there's the struggle. and the struggle was that when the prime minister came out of hospital, this was about a period of 12, 13 days after he first became -- well, a period of two weeks after he first became ill, he wasn't himself. he was weak and he really struggled to put in the hours that were required. he went to a country retreat, one of the prime minister's homes in the countryside for a little while to recover with his partner. what he did during the period when he went into icu, i think, was the real worrying period for the country. he remained prime minister, but he delegated the powers of government to the first minister, dominic raab, the foreign secretary. erica? >> nicbout, and as you mentioned, we are hearing from leaders around the world as they react to the president's diagnosis. nic, thank you. what does president trump's diagnosis mean to national security in this country, we just heard what happened in the uk. joining us now, miles taylor, the former chief of staff to kerstker st kersten nielsen. there are serious national security issues we need to talk about, which are related to the scope of the contact tracing that will need to be done, the number of people who the president has been in contact with. and also, what that means for their jobs. if there are people who are working in very secure areas, who may have somehow been in contact, there's a little more difficult to say, okay, go quarantine and work from home. what is your biggest concern this morning, miles? >> there's a few concerns, but the most immediate concern will be the secret service and what protocols do they have to put in place to protect the president. the secret service w

cnn's nic robertson kicks off our reporting from around the globe. >> reporter: i'm nic robertson inwhere the british prime minister has rolled out a new three-tiered system for combatting covid in england. there is a medium level, a high level and a very high level. the prime minister said this is necessary to simplify the existing systems. he said it's necessary because the country is fought doing enough to combat covid-19 right now. he said over the past three weeks, infections have gone up fourfold. he said the current r number is between 1.2 and 1.5. we know if you're in the most extreme area of the country, that means pubs will be closed, casinos will be closed, gyms will be closed. in the medium level, which is most of the country, pubs will continue to close at 10:00 as they have been recently and people can meet in groups of six indoors and outdoors. in the other part of the country high-level people will be able to meet in groups of six outdoors only. the prime minister faces a tough job ahead convincing many councils in the north of the country in particular to come on boa

nic robertson joins us live from london, and scott mcclain is standing by in berlin. good to see you both. nic, let's go to you first, prime minister johnson will outline restrictions but there is considerable concerns from people in britain, how will authorities deal with that and what measures are expected? >> reporter: there's a big north south divide in england. the north of england has a much higher rate of infection generally speaking compared to the south of the country. the prime minister is trying to simplify the restriction measures that different areas of the country will face. there have been a number of different local and regional lock downs across the country, and just two weeks ago, the prime minister was asked about the lock down situation in the northeast of the country, and he didn't know what restrictions applied. so this is an effort to simplify it. there will be three tiers, a med yu medium, high and very high. and some members of the cabinet will be meeting to fine tune the details of what will apply in those three tiers, but the highest tier we understand will affect th

nic robertson is live in london, and scott mcclain is standing by in berlin. good to see you both. so nic, let's start with you. what covid restrictions did these scientists recommend and when did they do that? >> reporter: well, three weeks ago, this group of scientists known as sage, it's not always the same scientists but it's the country's leading authorities on tackling covid, they meet regularly. they advise the government regularly. and three weeks ago, the minutes of their meeting, they concluded that the country required what they called a circuit breaker, a short national lockdown, the sort of thing we had earlier in the year to get around the rise in coronavirus cases. the government didn't go for that option, we heard the prime minister saying why it's a balance between health against the economy, but it was quite surprising to see that that group of scientists who normally keep their deliberations and advice to the government close hold, secret, if you will, after the prime minister's press conference monday, yesterday, where he announced these new three tiers, they decided to release their advice from three weeks ago which does indicate a rift on their position compared to that that the prime minister is taking, and it was quite significant during that press conference yesterday when england's chief medical officer was asked do the current restrictions that the government's putting in place go far enough to bring down the rising level of coronavirus cases. this was his answer. >> i am very confident that the measures that are currently in place are helping to slow the virus, and these measures will help to slow it further. i am not confident and nor is anybody confident that the tier 3 proposals for the highest rates, if we did the absolute base case and nothing more, would be enough to get on top of it. the base will not be sufficient. i think that's very clearly the professional view, but there are quite a lot more additional things that could be done within that with local guidance. >> reporter: so additional things he's talking about, details that the prime minister is currently trying to work out with many of the councils and local authorities in the north of the country where the infection rates are at their highest level. it's a balance of bringing the local populations and those councils along with the central govr government and you get this sense there's a rift in the country between science and the politics, and also different parts of the country, the north at the moment, where the infection rates are higher. people generally feel that the south is getting away with less restrictions. it's unbalanced and this is, again, the difficulty of the prime minister's position. >> absolutely. nicertson, many thanks to you, joining us live from 10 downing street, appreciate it. >>> and scott, let's go to you in berlin, what's behind the spike in infections across germany, and what's the government doing about it? >> hey, rosemary, yeah, so this spike in infections is quite concerning for this country, which has done a pretty good job of handling the coronavirus early on, seeing less than one quarter of the deaths that they saw for instance in the u.k. the spike is leading to long lines at testing sites. we'll take you to the front of the line here at one of the sites in berlin. some of the people we spoke to earlier today said that they had waited about, you know, an hour and a half, two hours to get to the front of the line, to get to the tests. a lot of people we spoke to as well said it was one of their colleagues, one of their family members, friends, that warned them they may have been exposed to the virus. that led them to coming here to the windows just getting a test on
