You know for some people get really sick within hours but you know some people dont get sick until week after and still we have to really be carefully observing the situation trampas often chosen not to wear a mask including at his own rallies where many of his supporters reject the Science Behind the idea. His Team Including family members went masculists at the tuesday debate trump even ridiculed democratic candidate joe biden for wearing a mosque as recommended by virtually all Public Health experts i dont wear mess like him every time you see hes got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from him he shows up with the biggest mask ive ever seen thanks especially in the social where the president may have become infected have also turned to a ceremony in on off Supreme Court nominee amy coney beret which took place at the white house rose garden last saturday several people who attended that largely mosque free event have since tested positive House Speaker nancy pelosi sent to best wishes to the president but said this was a lesson to be learnt this is chad its very sad but it also is something that again going into crowds unmasked and all the rest the sort of a brazen invitation for Something Like this to happen its sad that it did but nonetheless hopeful that it will be a transition to a saner approach to what this virus is all about the white house doctor has confirmed the president received one dose of an experimental drug regeneration it has not been through final Clinical Trials and was administered on what is called a compassionate use basis this is the only way a drug and not approved by the f. D. A. Can be administered to a patient who is not part of a clinical trial. Ok lets not talk to my condo in maryland might you were outlining in your report there be events that brought us to this situation with President Trump in the hospital thats behind you lets talk about the political ramifications of this how are both sides of the political divide in the u. S. Adapting to this brand new situation. Well it has completely thrown the political situation into chaos the Campaign Underway with the elections being held in the everything to an extent has been put on hold the other candidate joe biden has continued with his. Im sorry about that we seem to have lost our feed to mike outside the hospital in maryland lets move on ok so what are the treatments being given to the president who will run this of you is an antiviral drug that was previously tested for bola its not approved by u. S. Drug authorities but it is being allowed for patients with a severe 19 its the only medicine proven to help people recover more quickly around 4 days on average according to one study but the same data shows it does not reduce fatalities and the other treatment is an experimental antibody combination made by regenerate the company says its trials show the cocktail reduces viral load and associated symptoms it too has not been proved but the company can give access for compassionate use well dr khan is a senior lecturer at the university of leeds school of medicine hes joining us in skype from there good to have you with us what can we read into the experimental drugs that the president is being given does it give us any indication about the president s condition. Yes well were being told the president from has got mild since and the vast majority of people with mild still sems should be told to stay at home self isolate and not intersex of the book President Trump is not a normal person like you or i and hes been taken to hospital and hes been given these experimental drug the 1st one rendez there is an antiviral drug its been showing in studies to reduce the name of the illness caused by coke at 90 from an average of 11 days to about 9 days. But its still experimental its not a magic bullet it doesnt cure all the disease it just reduces the length of the disease and the way it works is by tricking the virus into thinking it is a body cell in which the virus can enter and start reproducing and replicating itself actually once the virus has entered it stops it in its tracks so that how how it works the antibody treatment again boosts the recipients and odone to bodies or stimulates antibody production as well as giving then and to fight off the virus all of this is experimental all of it is you know been shown in studies but hasnt be proven in large scale trials so so what President Trump is using is largely experimental or like you say been used in compassionate use and there is a suggestion that the president is in some way expected to if he does recover from this in the virus doesnt get any worse the symptoms dont get any worse that is expected to recover from this and therefore will be about fairly quickly but if i understand it correctly in this age group and given that the president s physical condition is actually very unlikely that thats going to happen in fact there could be some level of hindrance if you like that the president will have to face even though he may be eventually declared free of the virus. I think its important to say even older people do make a full recovery from corona virus but being older and being overweight does put you at higher risk of getting complications the issue is older people have an older immune system that takes time to respond to any kind of virus or bacteria and so the virus has it has time to get avian really start replicating itself and then the other issue with the weight President Trump and said to be obese hes got a body mass index of over 30 and what we know about obesity in the virus is that obesity can make you something called immunocompromised which means your immune system doesnt react as well and if you combine that with his age thats a very slow immune system but also being overweight the fat cells actually cause a permanent state of what we say is inflammation in the body and youve got these rise in these white blood cells so proteins calls cytokines which way overstimulated which the virus can do can cause something called a cytokine storm and that can lead to problems with breathing saluting the loans and failure of organs all over the body so that the risk to trump now even if he has no sense even if you get out of the you know short period the acute phase of the illness there is a risk that we can have some of the long haul symptoms of coronavirus that were seeing lots of people who had even the mildest of symptoms the doctor can stay with us because i want to just talk viewers through the background to how the president may have caught the virus one possibility is lost the last saturdays event in the white house rose garden or at least 7 people who attended trumps Supreme Court nominee ceremony have tested positive on tuesday trump was in ohio for the 1st president ial debate with joe biden on wednesday the president flew to an election rally in minnesota with his aide hope pics she tested positive on. State now despite diagnosis from within his inner circle the president held the white house Media Briefing as normal and attended a fundraiser at his bed minster golf club in new jersey former white house counselor Kellyanne Conway and Trumps Campaign manager bill stepien also tested positive conway was at the rose garden event last saturday and want to bring back in dr dr khan lets talk about the Contact Tracing process for this now were talking about a series of events over the last few days or so in which the president and his family and his immediate circle have been in contact with a very large number of people how difficult is it to try to track the process of the virus through such a large group of people. Its a hugely complicated process and were talking about very influential people who are likely to be going to the meeting or conference or dinners after did as parties after parties where they need a little with with other people its really important that anyone who has been in close contact with anyone whos tested positive really could put some self forward for a test but more importantly sell for isolates the 10 to 14 days depending on where you live and what we see is actually theyre not doing that that they are in close proximity with these people and they going about their business as usual and what we can see from a lot of the pictures that are coming out from these events is that they not Wearing Masks and its now 30 established that masks not only protect other people from your doctors but they can also protect the wearers well so its going to be a really tricky process and just because they have tested negative doesnt necessarily they havent got the virus it could be very early on where that the test hasnt picked up the virus and so self isolation is key through that really. Phase where the virus doesnt have any symptoms in people a doctor can youre a doctor at the n. H. S. Service in the United Kingdom as i mentioned youre a senior lecturer at the leeds school of medicine and we know that this is a president who has consistently rebuffed of the advice of medical professionals about the spread of coronavirus for new and your colleagues had the news about the fact that the president had got this virus what was your reaction. But i wasnt surprised you know we see him events not Wearing Masks getting very close to people even mocking those with with masks oh so its sad to see it my politics that you dont align with donald trump in any way but it is sad to see that hes got the virus that the years and well that is news and well and i think everybody. Wanted to make it a speedy recovery regardless of what your political view is but we were surprised and what we know about this is you know it doesnt matter who you are where you want. To so take the social distancing handwashing mask wearing seriously is important but every Single Person on the dr americana is good to have you an aljazeera thank you very much indeed for your time sir thank you ok i want to take you back to mike hanna who is outside the hospital in maryland where the president is being treated and mike we were we had a few technical problems you were broken off earlier when you were starting to tell us about how both sides of the political divide in the u. S. Are adapting to this new situation that are finding themselves in. Well certainly its thrown a complete bomb into the whole political process with the election coming up in november questions now about the campaigns particularly President Trumps campaign he has felt front and Center Getting out to speak to people if you held a number of Campaign Rallies in recent weeks joe biden has held a number of rallies too but most of them have been virtual so the question now is whether President Trump is able once he recovers to carry on with such events may be very unlikely so now he has to turn to something that the democrats have been doing all along and that is a largely Virtual Campaign avoiding large gatherings something that President Trump has been doing so certainly a number of questions are arising out of the situation now and they are going to be many ramifications for the campaign and indeed a massive impact on that election in november you know mike in your report earlier you were referring to the fact that one of the central. Places for scrutiny in terms of how this might have spread was the white house rose garden that was when tom Supreme Court nominee ceremony to replace lets talk about the Supreme Court process because there is a lot of speculation know about what is actually going to happen with that ahead of the election on november the 3rd. Well rob you mentioned earlier that at least 7 people who were at that rose garden event tested positive with the corona virus among those 7 are 2 republican senators who happened to be members of the Judicial Committee which is supposed to be sitting on october the 12th to begin the nomination process for President Trumps new Supreme Court justice nomination amy barrett so now this has all been thrown into question the democrats already are saying that the hearings can take place now before the election that they cannot be virtual that they have to be postponed until after the election this is something that the democrats have been pressing for before this recent chain of events republicans continuing to insist that their nomination process can be held in a virtual process but the very fact that 2 members of that Judicial Committee the senate Judicial Committee have tested positive for the virus raises all sorts of issues in terms of the nomination process itself now that is just another ramification that has emerged out of this that democrats believe they have got ammunition to postpone the nomination of a Supreme Court justice until after the election allowing perhaps a nother administration to put up its own nomination so all sorts of factors have come into play but also to really emphasize the fact that that nomination ceremony in the rose garden at piers it would appear from all the data merging to being a super spreader event now thats exactly a week ago that that happened the incubation period of the virus is anything from 4 days to a little more than a week so once again great concern about Contact Tracing the Contact Tracing of everybody who was at that rose garden the ceremony given the fact that such a high proportion of people there have already tested positive for the corona virus so all sorts of issues are merging out of this with impact on the political process and with impact on that crucial Supreme Court nomination mike hanna live for us in maryland mike thanks very much. Plenty more ahead on the news hour including roads homes and bridges are swept away after heavy rains caused severe flooding in france britain bishkek ahead of kurdistans parliamentary elections which have been dominated by a debate about people whove been forced to go abroad for work. And coming up in sports well tell you about the technology the use of the London Marathon to ensure social distancing. Armenia and azerbaijan are trading accusations of shelling residential areas in the golan okada buck fighting has continued into a 7th day lets see how this translates on the ground armenia and azerbaijan went to war over nagornokarabakh between 1991 and 994 the contested regions internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but the majority of the People Living in these red areas are ethnic many in these parts a controlled by a 1000000 forces many as were displaced or during the war in the ninetys the socalled lion of contact you can see it there in the green it separates armenian and is that the armed forces the majority of fighting is happening on either side of that line now were going to get the latest from sin and cos.

Visit before the fighting creased some of the towns and villages along that line of contact. Its the safest place in town but everyone here is scared for 5 days the women and children of martini have been hiding in the towns bomb shelters nothing is going to get it and ive been here 6 days how should we feel my sons are on the front line sometimes he managed to talk to them were waiting for peace and for a victory and for sons to return.

Myrtle knows that this is our village our home or should i go my children ask me why are you walking out in the village i say if i hear the sound of the bomb its best if it hits me i wont even know it why should i be frightened and over this turkish animal. The leaders of armenia and azerbaijan say theres no immediate likelihood of talks so theyll be more of this. And for those waiting for news of their sons and husbands plenty to worry about. Bernard smith al jazeera in a gone back.

This regions very yongs were occupied by the Armenian Forces and we are here we have we were here 2 days ago too but today is the front because since yesterday there are shells rockets hitting the villages of florida as well the bad guys next to tara tirade which is the biggest which is one of the biggest crayons and which has the longest contact time with the girl in a car and tie far is that is a very long which has never been occupied by hours of the forces and today when we came to the area they told us that we wont be able to enter terrorists are because of the security reasons and many of the People Living in the villages and i have the town center of territory have moved to about a day where we are im right now in the city center town center the fire that just a few hours ago i the sense in my visit a school of public buildings where the displaced people were sleeping for the last couple of days and they say there are no places that they can stay thats why most of the public buildings are spared for the internally displaced 2345 families sharing one room all one floor sharing one bathroom and they are saying that they didnt have anything with them except for the clothes on their slippers or shoes and they are waiting to go back when the attacks finished but i have to say that people are very emotional here because they say they are attacked. In their own soil from their own soil and maybe they say they have no problem with their 1000000000 people but of course it will be it will it will take some time to see how this conflict is going to shape up rob cinema thanks very much indeed that simcoe life for us and in azerbaijan.

Well its time for the weather and heres everton the fact that theyve got a years worth of rain in a day is absolutely extraordinary but i know thats in europe and youre looking at another part of the planet yeah thats right rob were going to have a look at the other side of the well beyond the atlantic that that situation in europe was awful were talking trouble still storm alex and much of western europe being hit by those nasty storms on the other side of the atlantic we can expect to see some pretty nasty weather just around the yucatan peninsula with some flooding coming in here over the next couple of days but further north just just a contrast things we have got a drought worst drought for about a decade in chihuahua in northern parts of mexico weve not seen any rain really for quite some time and theres no rain in the forecast the west whether its a real contrast the wetter weather is further south and here we go this is storm gamma making its way up towards the yucatan peninsula its just been named it will intensify further to go on through the next that 24 hours or so but its expected to stay as a Tropical Storm looking its a winds around 100 Kilometers Per Hour certainly Strong Enough but lots of heavy rain 3 millimeters of rain possibility of life threatening floods coming through and also some mudslides so the system makes its way further northwards runs across the yucatan peninsula eventually pushes out into the bay of campeche just following on behind incidentally this next clip just storms lining up towards haiti cuba jamaica that could produce some rather nasty weather could become a tropical system as well about a 1020 percent chance of that but in terms of damage thats going to continue making its way further north woods and west was very heavy rain coming into 2nd southern parts of mexico meanwhile that ongoing drought up towards the north rob thanks very much indeed well still ahead on aljazeera an increasing number of civilians are being tortured and to be headed in mozambique we hear whos being accused.

South sudan is hosting the final signing ceremony of a peace deal between sudans Transitional Government and rebel groups the agreement aims to end 17 years of fighting across different regions including dar for which killed 300000 people and forced to 1000000 people from their homes various groups some of them on that make up the Sudan Revolutionary front a jew to sign the deal with the Transitional Government the groups opposed the previous government and president Omar Al Bashir who was overthrown last year now the deal gives the groups 3 seats in the Sovereignty Council and a quarter of the seats in the executive council of the Transitional Government is also grants more power to local governments and autonomy to the Southern States of blue nile and South Kordofan. Or he will morgans following developments for us live from khartoum this seems an all encompassing deal but it does seem as though there are 2 or 3 groups which are not part of those just talk us through what the situation is. Yes indeed rob while this signing ceremony today that is happening in the south sudanese capital juba includes various armed groups and the sudanese revolution Front Coalition there are 2 major groups that are not signatories to this deal we have the sudans liberation Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement led by abbott has these and hello who has strongholds in the Southern States of South Kordofan and Blue Nile State now he has signed a declaration of principle with the Transitional Government last month this paves way for negotiations for the start of negotiations between the spear lemon drops and as he said hello and the Transitional Government but the dates for that are yet to be set now he has made many major demands that has already been and compas in that declination of principles one of them being separating states of state affairs from religious affairs saying that the country should be secular and that they should have the right to selfdetermination or referendum if you like the other group is the sudans Liberation Movement led by hamad noor who is currently in france but has strongholds in the Central Darfur region now he has described the negotiations of this deal that is currently being signed and the process as similar to the previous process of civil and similar to previous deals that have been signed between the previous government that was overthrown in 2019 april 29th team and various other armed groups he says that this does not guarantee peace in sudan and that it does not address the root causes of conflict so in light of the absence of these 2 major groups it doesnt look like this peace deal is comprehensive but the sudanese Transitional Government and those who have signed it are celebrating it saying that it paves the way for economic and political stability now weve heard the Transitional Government leadership. Repeatedly calling on those other groups that are yet to sign or to start negotiating to join the process so that this peace deal can be complete they say that while this one guarantees relative stability it will not be comprehensive and till the other 2 groups join so until those 2 groups of sudans people Liberation Movement north and theyre at that as he said hello and sudans Liberation Movement led by that will happen hamad nor do join the Peace Process and sign deals with the government this peace deal is incomplete which is something that the Transitional Government says it is going to work on to make sure that they to join the Peace Process david thanks very much indeed thats why morgan bring us up to date from hard to talk about in afghanistan has killed at least 14 people it exploded near a government building in the town of bani hull in the province Security Forces have been battling the attackers for several hours no one has claimed responsibility but the interior minister has blamed the taliban a spokesman for the local government said at least 38. 00 people were injured.

We are right now in your one of the most charity touristy spots in in across spain this square normally busy with tourists and locals have now 30 percent of the terraces and restaurants close in march at 13 and all the uncertainty uncertainty of not knowing where they will be reopening again these will be permanent also there will be travel restrictions in all these areas affected by these partial Lockdown People will be able to enter or to leave all these areas and for these the National Government has deployed 700 Police Officers that will be monitoring and controlling all these movements the feeling right now is quite disappointing cow people are not havent got really clear what theyre allowed to do or not because the general government despite rejecting the order from the Health Ministry but implementing aid they have appealed in court this decision so they get some time they gain some time and delay the implementation of these restrictions which means that people have to be able to be fined by Police Offices if they dont stick to these new restrictions they allege that these new restrictions will cost.

Economy doesnt work in normal way in a corrupt system unless you have some big Natural Resources with some resources about not gas we dont have thats why.
