When his chief of staff said doctors had to being very concerned but president tom says hes feeling good and the next few days will be a test the true picture of the u. S. President s health remains unclear now after conflicting reports from the hospital where hes being treated for covert 19 in a video on twitter trying to finish his Election Campaign exactly the way it started alan fischer reports. 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 to him 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 ellie 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 cocktail regeneration was administered 48 hours ago someone 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 Crisis Communications one story one voice the white house. And this 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 fever the president had how i did it go we were not told with any clear whether or not he was or was not the recipient of supplemental oxygen ha 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 to 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. At the Walter Reed Hospital. Well joining us from singapore is dr dale fischer hes the chairman of the World Health Organizations global outbreak a lot of response not work and professor in the Infectious Diseases division at the National University of singapore thank you very much indeed for joining us everybody is talking about the fact that for the president the next 2 days are critical but if i understand it correctly given previous examinations previous cases of people who are in the same age bracket have the same physical condition as the president and the recovery is actually likely to take a lot longer than not isnt it. Yeah and thanks for having me on again the the disease as we know it really takes 2 phases the the one early on which is as the viruses is settling in most of those early symptoms but then theres the 2nd phase which is that immune response if you like so so thats its really the 2nd week im not sure what were calling day one here its a little bit unclear to me which day the symptoms started but certainly its the 2nd way gives him dims where we see that the danger period can arise were talking also about the fact that there seem to be confused or at least conflicting messages that are coming out from people not just in the white house but obviously in the medical community as well and those closer to the president and treating him there are a great many people in the United States who look to the white house and to president for guidance in how to deal with corona virus and indeed how severe it should be treated what how difficult disease you do you think it makes when you get a conflict of opinions like this. Im not completely sure theres a conflict. His attitude to it i think is well known now hes become infected and and hes getting the treatment hes has received understand monoclonal antibodies and disappear which of both got both Antiviral Properties and to get those early on in the illness is is is whats important but theyre not proven to work but they make sense that they would work so so now hes i guess in the lottery of outcomes which we know can range from anything from a straightforward uncomplicated recovery through to obviously a percentage of people can die from this one thing that has been clear i think to everybody since the start of this the spread of this virus is that clear and accurate messaging is really key to all of this and it doesnt seem as though were getting a great deal of that at the moment out in terms of your expertise how concerned are you that the message is still not getting across to people around the world about the ways to at least try to mitigate the spread of the virus. I think we know in in many countries this is blame politicized. And its a its a pity i think theres been mistakes mine because of that but but the science is we really now are we dont really have a lot to learn about this virus still but we really do know a lot now we know what how a lot more about how transmits whats dangerous super spread events mask wearing Contact Tracing isolation quarantining so so really in any country really should be implicating that. Implementing those things to the best of their ability professor do official we appreciate your joining us and giving us the benefit of your expertise thank you very much indeed. With trump in hospital the u. S. Secretary of state is cutting short his trip to asia my campaign is having meetings in japan but he wont fly on to mongolia and south korea appears said he had no plans to cancel his trip for news of trumps infection was announced for the nomination of Amy Connie Barrett was meant to be a day of political triumph it now appears it may have been a coronavirus super spreader event rob reynolds reports on how the white house became a covert 1000 hot spot. 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 percussions at the white house had put in place the testing so they. This is something that. Really should make people who doubt the virulence of this pandemic and aspire to take a step back with covert 19 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 hell push ahead with confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee barrett on october 12th robert oulds aljazeera. On and on many are accusing each other of targeting civilians in the conflict over the disputed region of no going back these pictures were released a few hours ago and theyre said to be the scene in the city of stefan a cult maybe in officials who control the city say civilians there have been injured by john meanwhile says a 2nd biggest city has been targeted by stern talk to Bernard Smith hes been sheltering in step on a cut but hes headed out of the city now. Just give us an indication of whats been happening in the last few hours about. Well there is a. Going on at the moment actually of an area. Were not too far from were now in armenian territory less nagornokarabakh but theres been d. Im not sure if you can hear that raid sirens going off. Where we stop and there is some locations being targeted what seems to been happening in just a panic now where we are this infrastructure is being targeted when we were in the panic we were. Not far from electricity transmission state should 8. While we were in a bomb shelter cutting off electricity we think certainly most of the panic that was about to happen very close to us while weve been speaking out of a country road well out to panic. Territory but still raid sirens going off somewhere just recently been targeted. A lot of a lot of the bombing targeting going on a moment rob particularly is the biggest city in theyre going to cut about how much danger are civilians there in. Civilians are in a lot of danger because certainly the panic at where we have been for the last few days and we were overnight was being targeted on the city. Early in. The series bombardments were coming in to the city the people of course in bomb shelters many people tried to leave the city but this is a densely packed densely populated city and it is being targeted so people are trying to shelter as best they can people have been. In the bomb shelters for a little since last sunday now but the bombing of the panic particularly certainly since friday night has been the most sustained bombing the varsity has sustained since the end of the war in 1994 and really this time around the technology being used by the is out of forces is much more advanced much more it seems Precision Targeting all there is as i say a particular infrastructure stop richmonds because once we were that the internet was knocked out of course the electricity was knocked out making it much harder to communicate in the city most people of course dont have generators because normally they have reliable Electricity Supply so without it without mains electricity its going to be extremely difficult to make the people behind ok. Thank you very much indeed Bernard Smith and theyre going to kind of block lets cross now to see them cos you know whos in gangs in azerbaijan. Is also saying civilians are being targeted on their side just talk us through what has been happening what we believe has been the situation this morning. Walter of aunts of today it was the villages and the regions centers in the adjacent districts. But here today this morning a couple of hours ago again just that day which is the 2nd largest city of was our big john with 350004 palatial has been a hit at 1st they said it was a ruckus but. Just a couple of minutes ago we had a talk with one of the m. P. s from jay and i was a ridge on government and he said that the different type of explosive material was used which is actually banned in International Platforms here we have been speaking to people some of them witnessed the situation but our series say that they are mania is targeting civilians. They deny its there is deny targeting the civilians in armenia but they accuse our mania for targeting civilians but that is the m. P. Told me that hitting again just 6 cyclone meters away from the contact line mainly the front line was a mistake for our menu because it is one of the biggest cities but when you go in when you go back to a couple of days ago i was very. Including the president and his assistants they said that if our mania attacks azerbaijan soil from our main yes not going to go from our mannion soil then they will have to destroy those targets in armenia and this morning we heard not going to go about and we heard the. President tweeting that as of today. Big as every city is are going to be targeted by them if they dont stop shelling and attacking the other side. In the battlefield also in the media there is a tradeoff propaganda war between 2 sides rob but of course everybody is shocked here because this is one of the largest cities which was actually chosen. As it is European Capital for youth a couple of days ago there was like the city very much and now there are rockets and explosive material. Just a couple of blocks away and so far we know that at least one person was killed 7 civilians were wounded and there are some rumors some locals here saying that the number of killed civilians may be up to 3 or 4 but so far we have no official figures on the casualties sitting closer to talking to us from a gunshot now somebody johnson thanks very much for your head on the news hour including giving up their American Dream hundreds of migrants stopped in guatemala and decided to turn back. Why israelis are defining coronavirus restrictions on protests to rally outside Prime Minister netanyahu. And in sports the 100 and 45th preakness stakes ends in a photo finish but its here with that story. Voters in kurdistan know picking new members of parliament for the legitimacy of the vote is already in doubt there are widespread allegations of parties trying to buy votes in the countries often described as being the most democratic of all former soviet states in central asia and then were going to talk to charles struck for a reporter there shortly but 1st his report from the capital bishkek. The capital of kyrgyzstan a country often described as being more democratic than its neighbors which were also part of the soviet union before it collapsed. 16 parties with more than 1500 candidates competing in these parliamentary elections but there is little trust in many of the faces did it Dawn Campaign posters. Well mike works on a farm on the outskirts of the city hes angry about mounting allegations of parties trying to buy votes in the run up to the poll what was up when i found i dont people who sell their vote a selling their hope selling their country selling their memories of their ancestors and selling their future. This man who didnt want to be identified said in recent days people working for a progovernment Political Party have twice offered him money if he promises to vote for them all citizens who work for a given party are involved in vote buying details make it a party gives a person 50. 00 to buy a vote they will buy it for 25. 00 and pocket the rest the system happens every election and its happening again he says. Kyrgyzstans post soviet political experience has been lively to say the least 2 president s overthrown in revolutions the former president currently serving in 11 year jail term for corruption but politicians and analysts say that kyrgyzstan may be more democratic than its Central Asian neighbors but in terms of free and Fair Elections the still a long way to go there are dozens of candidates with various parties who have criminal records that on the cuties law can be wiped clean if they pay a fine. They will take the trial a good rose was it a long time ago nothing lawless is happening now but i agree that issues with a legal document form 2 i thought we were a new democracy and we are learning a foreign. Election monitors say people in poor rule communities are particularly vulnerable to accepting bribes for votes form 2 is illegal lupo the low levels of voter to change the precincts in which he or she casts a ballot it means parties who feel they may lack support in a given area offer transport and money to voters if they agree to be moved and vote for them. Its estimated around hof a 1000000 people have been moved from their precincts to vote. The likely outcome of the vote is tilting in favor of progovernment parties but then. Theres always that possibility that even those. Half a 1000000 people or many many many among them are still able to vote independently when they enter the voting booth. The reform party has used rappers singing and she government songs to rally support reform aims to attract young voters tired of what analysts say has been decades of economic mismanagement and poor Job Opportunities were not happy with what what is happening and we need this is choice and. It changed because in this village a 30 years where independent country but we still are suffering our people are poor i mean the corruption. And basically the thieves are stealing our future so were going to stand for that for a generation hoping that no matter the struggles against corruption and criminality of age the political system the Journey Towards true democracy and Development Must go on. For joining us now from the capital bishkek talk us through how the voting is going charles. Well certainly this polling station weve seen there might be less people there now but theres been a steady stream of people throughout the day we understand according to the Election Commission that 72 hours ago they were saying that around 28 percent. Eligible to vote had turned up that would have been with about 6 hours left before polls closed. Despite these allegations of vote buying its important to point out that you saying that this country in relation to its neighbors in central asia has got far more of a vibrant democracy and weve seen very lively debates on television between opposition and government parties in recent days people here are free to criticize the government and the president but seemingly sadly there do seem to be there does seem to be mounting evidence certainly at this polling station the people weve spoken to all the potential voter fraud we spoke to one man who lives in this community who told us he came out early this morning when there were large numbers of people here and he said who are these people implying that they had been bussed in as we explained in our package we spoke to another gentleman a few minutes ago who admitted that he had been bussed in. From an area close to his polling station in the center of bishkek to vote here in favor of a progovernment party he did not say whether or not he had been offered money and weve also seen evidence of people taking photographs all of the vote that they made on their ballot taking photographs of the ballot and the allegations being made that these people have already been paid a sum of by a given party promising that they would vote for them and then they would be given the remainder of whatever they are expecting to receive all showing proof that indeed they made that vote in favor of that given party and of course. We have no proof no confirmation as to whether these allegations in this evidence is actually true but certainly its also important to recognize that vote buying has been a common feature of previous elections in the past in kyrgyzstan. For talking to us from bishkek charles thanks very much indeed lets turn to eddie commodity shes an associate professor at the National Defense university shes joining us live by skype from washington d. C. Good to have you on the program its an interesting definition of democracy isnt it you can have all the debates you like on t. V. You can have lots of opposition parties but when it comes to the actual election thats where democracy aims. I wouldnt say about democracy and see here what we see in kerry gets done over the past decade since the last reading change is that the resist certain sophistication and political comfy meaning political leaders in parties likely for a while before have emerged but at the same time because the Political Landscape is so competitive and noisy at times we see that progovernment Political Parties in this case. And media listening in could respond. They are trying to improve their ways of prosecution as well so we see that ways to falsify and to pressure voters to vote certain way have also. Expanded and there are there are more and more tools used by progovernment parties know to make sure that they prevail at elections but overall this is a very competitive Political Landscape and the population in care is still and is really politicized thing and as your correspondent noted can openly discuss politics in everyday life. How much of this is done to the Economic Situation that saying this town as charles was saying is report that the economy has been struggling for a long time if the economy improved and the incentive to get money was it was taken away do you think that people will be more willing to to vote more independently. I think yes of course more people were employed and not just dependent on migrant remittances from russia or because of sun or other countries maybe there would be more Financial Independence and less incentive to take those one time bribes to vote certain way but i really think just like many activists civic activist in kyrgyzstan is that its really about civic consciousness among the population and more and more so over the last decade we see that. Activism that coles for citizens for voters not to take bribes is increasing is expanding and who knows maybe this time we just we do see falsifications but we also see a lot more reporting those falsifications given the level of civic consciousness as you call it in are you up to mystic that eventually there will come a point when parties will not be able to try to attract people to vote for them by buying their votes that people will just simply by choice vote independently. Well hopefully this day will come i think its not going to come soon not need be in the next round of elections local or national. But again i think those forces the cations they are decentralized across the voting precincts and theyre not the top down effort as we see happen in many other countries or neighboring countries where the government doesnt just bribe or progovernment parties dont just bribe voters but also intimidate voters so we dont see those level of intervention but hopefully yeah the consciousness increases and Political Landscape continues to sophisticate then we will see cleaner elections hopefully its really good to get your thoughts on this area come out from the National Defense university we appreciate it thank you very much indeed. Polls have closed in the archipelago of New Caledonia where people have been voting whether to become independent from france turnout was higher than the last referendum on the issue when 2 years ago when just over 56 percent voted against independence its a debate as dating back 30 years. Its time for the weather and here is everton were back in Central Europe again yeah thats right weve been talking about storm alex well thats been swallowed up to form a massive area of low pressure across western and central parts of europe and weve had the flooding of course in northwest italy and also southeast in front you can see in the satellite picture this enormous swathe of cloud just swirling away just like a will stuck in the mud this one splattering out lots of very very heavy rain in places this cold front here down across italy in the balkans thats the one that made its way through italy across the southeast a front sinking further south was now ahead of it we are picking up a very warm wind a hot wind out of libya a sirocco wind as its known weve got plenty of heat across the eastern side of you have a much colder further north and west london well our low pressure is now centered around the midlands in Central England london only getting up to around 11 degrees celsius now where we have thats a very warm air being hit by the cooler wetter weather coming through the u.

Hold. Oh. You want to go does it all remind of our top stories this hour the true picture of president Donald Trumps condition remains unclear after conflicting reports from the white house on the hospital where hes being treated for covert 19 in a video on twitter tom said he was feeling good but said the real test was in the next few days. As a by john and on Many Americans each other targeting civilians in the conflict over the news created region of nagano color black this is the scene in the city of step on account of what scripture. By armenia there have been regular explosions there in the past few hours. Voters in kurdistan are picking new members of parliament but there are widespread allegations of parties trying to buy ballots in countries often described as being the most democratic of all former soviet states in central asia. More now and one of our top stories on the conflict in the golan oconnell black complicates relations between turkey and russia theyre already at odds over libya and syria both armenia and azerbaijan are former soviet states moscow remain tains close economic relations with armenia and has a military base in the east of the country near the border with turkey the kremlin has called for ceasefire talks without preconditions russias ties with oil rich azerbaijan more complicated as any Energy Exports including to europe rely on a network of pipelines running through georgia russia and turkey turkey shut the border with the media in the 1990 s. And supports by john the turks and as it is have described their relationship as 2 states one country. Lawrence brothers is the Program Director at the london based conciliation resources hes joining us via skype from london its good to have you with us sir so turkey is exerting its influence in case some cases militarily as were seeing latterly in libya syria no nagornokarabakh all the areas where russia has a presence why is russia been so subdued in this. Well i think thats correct that we now see theyre going to carve a conflict becoming a 3rd theater where russia and turkey are confronting one another but also managing their relations with each other theres a lot of speculation about russias passive a t. So far has called for a ceasefire but further actions so far we havent seen from from the kremlin and i think it may be either that moscow has been surprised by the degree of turkish involvement or that it is playing a waiting game and will come in with a much stronger policy in the next few days if it is to come in with a stronger policy what do you think the Tipping Point would be for those of us watching outside what we would we have to see to identify it as the point of which russia says right enough is enough were now stepping in. When i think the missile strikes that weve seen this morning are one such indicator civilian targets cities have been struck in azerbaijan ganja the 2nd city of the country and there are continuing reports of missile strikes on stepanek and other Population Centers in the car now if azerbaijan were to reciprocate and they were to be missile strikes on targets in armenia that would activate russias security guarantees to armenia and would force it to act and what i think very dangerous here is that russia and i mean youre of course members of the collective Security Treaty Organization and turkey is a member of nato so we see a risk of these 2 geopolitical blocks coming into conflict with one another in a very dangerous situation what kind of pressure do you think that russia could bring on the media for example to both sides armenia and azerbaijan given the fact that it has links with both to be able to deescalate the situation in a way that would essentially allow turkey to remove its involvement with and effectively save some face. Well its a wide open question i think whats very important here is that in contrast to syria and libya we arent talking about russia and turkey supporting factions in a prolonged civil war in states that are undergoing state failure and intense civil conflict as a bludgeon and i mean are sovereign states they have their populations behind them in this conflict and its a real test of their leverage i think it could be very difficult for russia and turkey to exert influence on i mean in azerbaijan respectively and to rein them in particularly if either side feels that its advancing on the battlefield so i think this is a litmus test actually for both moscow and ankara is that if i understand what youre saying correctly that given the fact that both both are were certainly russia has been part of the signatories to the minsk agreement with the sea which has been attempting to try to find some sort of solution to mcgauran or cut it back and clearly has failed to do so it is one of i think its the United States france and russia or on that list it is one of the countries that has failed to do that is there much else that russia could actually do in order to force a situation where it appears not to have worked in the past. Well there have been speculation that russia might take advantage of the situation to impose a variance of the Minsk Group Peace plan on armenia if i mean news we can do over the course of a week to 10 days russia could come in and impose that speculation that perhaps russia wants to. Enforce peace by having boots on the ground introducing peacekeeping forces into the combat zone but i think whats significant is that with this escalation today there is actually i think reason for moscow and ankara to join the wider International Voices calling for the escalation and to exert leverage to bring yerevan back to back to the negotiating table and organize a ceasefire. Florence burrs we are appreciated thank you very much indeed for giving us the benefit of your knowledge thank you thank you very much.
