Amid allegations of election rigging well find out whats at stake. And 2 dead and 25 missing after a storm hits france and italy sweeping away houses and roads. Donald trump says the next few days will be the real test for him but hes pledged to finish his president ial Election Campaign in the way it was started he made the comments in a new video posted on to it from the Walter Reed Medical Center where hes being treated for crowd a virus but it follows a mixed message from his medical team and the white house alan fischer begins our coverage from the hospital in bethesda. From inside Walter Reed Hospital a message from the president i came here wasnt feeling so well i feel much better now working hard to get me all the way back i have to be back because we still have to make America Great again weve done an awfully good job of that a new recruits from donald trump who was rushed to hospital late on friday i just didnt want to stay in the white house i was given little to stay in the white house lucky self in dont ever leave dont even go to the Oval Office Just stay upstairs and enjoy it dont see people dont talk to people and just be done with it and i cant do that i have to be out front and this is america this is the United States. But the white house message and the president s illness has been confused and incomplete on saturday morning the doctors gave a briefing but that reese questions of when the president was actually diagnosed the president tweeted out the news on friday morning just 72 hours into the diagnosis now the 1st week of it and a particular day 7 to 10 of the most critical in determining the likely course of this illness at this time the team and i are extremely happy with the progress the president has made. Another of the consulting physicians said the experimental antibody cocktail regeneration was administered 48 hours ago some are working very closely with the company to monitor him but that would mean the president was diagnosed on wednesday before 2 big Campaign Rallies and a fundraiser would suggest regeneration was given 24 hours earlier than the white house says it was. The 1st rule of Crisis Communications one story one voice the white house has failed to follow that and that has caused confusion and medical experts say it doesnt help that the briefing left a number of questions unanswered for example we were not told what type of bieber the president had how i did it go we were not told with any clear whether or not he in fact was or was not the recipient of supplemental oxygen h. Then adding to the confusion the president s chief of staff mark meadows who told reporters trumps vital signs in the past 24 hours have been disturbing and the next 48 hours of treatment are critical. All that has meant little to the hundreds of supporters whove gathered outside the hospital the sound of support for the president but the crucial period is still to come for corporate patients 5 to 10 days in is critical but know the president is in the best place for treatment even if he insists hes ready to head back to the white house alan fischer aljazeera at the Walter Reed Hospital but the middle and. He said crowley is a former White House Deputy press secretary he says this crisis will only add to an already strained White House Team and in a reElection Campaign. This white house has a tremendous you know credibility problem. And not only on this issue but on a wide range of issues and look at the timing of this is very inopportune for the white house 30 days before the election everyone is sensitive about what they say. But i think you have a white house that has rely too heavily on the president s tweets and the president s rallies of you dont have a Seasoned Team behind the president here we are when youre 4 by this stage and almost any administration is moving forward on all cylinders but youre on your 4th chief of staff your 4th press secretary you know d this is a white house staff that the president does not trust significantly all of these things are compounding a very very difficult situation i think that was a very useful bid you know by the president and i think hes beginning the process of trying to get on top of the crisis the coronavirus was going to be the dominating issue for the campaign anyway. And as long as the president is on the on the shelf and on the mend a matter of days you know this actually inhibits them talking about almost anything else the nomination of amy coney barons was meant to be a day of political triumph and now pays may have been a Coronavirus Spread a vent role brunells reports on how the white house became a coded 19 holds balls. Few people who attended the rose garden event on september 26th wore man 6 and the chairs were space close together President Trump was announcing the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court but as the guests mingled and chatted amongst themselves the corona virus was silently creeping through the air it is for all intents and purposes a super spreader event we have multiple people that are affected there now were seeing blossoming chains of transmission that probably emanate from there so this will be something that will be recognized as a super spreader when the story of 1000 at least 8 people who were there have now tested positive for covert 19 besides trump and 1st lady maloney a trump they include utah republican senator mike lee who was seen hugging and interacting with other people North Carolina republican senator tom tillis trump advisor Kellyanne Conway and an unidentified reporter covering the event the latest to announce testing positive is Republican Former new Jersey Governor Chris Christie who also helped trump prepare for tuesdays debate Notre Dame University president reverend john jenkins who also tested positive said guests were told they didnt need to wear masks because everyone in attendance had been tested sometimes that testing is not going to be ironclad the virus can find holes and thats got to be clearly people were instructed to take off their face coverings once their test came back not realizing that tests have operated characteristics and there is some rate of false negatives they can occur when you when you are testing Like Public Health experts are hopeful that the outbreak in trumps inner circle could change the minds of people who still dont take the virus seriously i do think that this is a turning point for many people to see the most protected man in the world be infected by this virus despite the persians at the white house had put in place the testing. So this is something that. Really should make people who doubt the virulence of this pandemic an aspirant to take a step back with covert 900 spreading at the highest levels of Washington Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell is delaying most Senate Business or 2 weeks but even though 2 republicans on the Judiciary Committee were apparently sickened in the rose garden mcconnell says he will push ahead with confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee barrett on october 12th robert oulds al jazeera.
