16000 coronavirus cases in the u. K. Go unreported for one week because of a technical failure within the data system. And the team behind the discovery of the hepatitis c. Virus and the 2020 nobel prize for medicine. We start with the intensifying fight between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed region of nagornokarabakh the conflict is now into its 2nd week fighting is moving closer to major cities and remains intense along the line of control the regional capital stepanek yet thats come under sustained bombardment as opposed to an as reported several missile attacks on 2 of its cities in this region it says some of the infrastructure sites in the city of via were targeted nato secretary general has joined the International Calls for a cease fire yet in stoltenberg also called on turkey which has been backing azerbaijan to use its influence to calm tensions. We are deeply concerned about of the situation in on their own god but we are of course watching the situation very carefully because we are concerned when we see. Gratian in the halls that it is more fighting more violence we have all seen the reports about the increased number of casualties also civilians civilian casualties and of course. Any fighting night this also poses a risk to all kinds of critical infrastructures Bennett Smith following developments from gorgeous inside all media. There has been this increased bombardment of civilian areas both in the going to carry back and nagornokarabakh the main town of step and has been under intense bombardment all day today were told by people who were there on the ground we were there on sunday when it also was being intensively hits there seems to be targeting infrastructure locations in nagornokarabakh particularly electricity substations we saw one of those blown up by a rocket coming from the azerbaijan side and another electricity substation was targeted as we were on the outskirts of town the challenge for the army of nagornokarabakh is really they are much smaller these are nagornokarabakh ethnically armenian fighters fighting armenia the country its military says its not involved in this there have been a couple of skirmishes with armenian and Azerbaijani Forces but this is essentially a small army from no go no care about facing a much greater army as it has got a population of 10081000 troops going to karabakh 146000 People Living in that so big difference in the Power Dynamics between the 2 and i saw john with the turkish support has that ass who periodicity seeds of the moment as well well sinan. From inside azerbaijan. Here where i am there is a Water Reservoir and there is the countrys hydro hydro electric powers power plants and the rochas that fell to area they fell close by this power plant which raised concerns because it provides energy to all country and if there is an electricity cut across all as our bridge on that would be chaos and the same goes for our mania because as our big journeys since the 1st attack last july they threatened that if our media taxes are bridge and they would they would actually shoot the Nuclear Power plant in armenia so all these are actually concern for not only the locals but for all the International Community if the a Water Reservoir explodes here 14 cities might be under water or if as our bridge on the source Nuclear Power plants in armenia that would be totally a disaster for everybody not only the 2 countries but all regional countries in the world all these are Major Concerns as escalation is rising and the weapons used in the in this war between a 1000000 forces and us are vigil forces are highly sophisticated compared to the war that was 30 years ago these are all concerns because its all civilians in the residential areas the border. The context line between nagornokarabakh and as our bridge on is actually something symbolic because its a breakaway country so by the conflict lines you have the villages on both sides civilians living there they are making calls for sebelius evacuate those areas nearby the context line but of course civilians get targeted unintentionally. Lets go to washington the white house says doctors will decide if u. S. President donald trump will be able to leave hospital later on monday he is being treated for covert 19 and he briefly venture out on sunday evening to a drive by the hundreds of his supporters who gathered outside one doctor working at the walter reed Military Hospital said the irresponsibility of the move was astounding. Live to my colleague whos there for us outside the hospital trump those complex building that behind so you can believe do we really think mr trump could possibly be well enough to the white house and the ground running because general election in less than a month. Absolutely and thats whats really frustrating the president the fact that hes watching cable news and hes seeing joe biden hitting the campaign trail hes of course the democratic president ial nominee headed to florida i keep battleground states it has to be bothering the president so much that we saw a spate of Early Morning tweets or something the president laid out his platform talking about the issues that are important to him but in terms of whether he can get out of the hospital today that is going to be up to his medical team and it sounds like the president was particularly frustrated with the fact that he was still in the hospital even as he has had some very close brushes with severe medical situation reportedly the president asking to return as of sunday not able to do that and that may be what prompted that very unusual drive by in front of supporters where the president got into an s. U. V. Briefly on sunday to see people outside of his hospital room but he remains there right now and what were being told is that his medical team will have to make that determination that in fact he will be going to have an assessment by the doctors and then they will determine that now one thing that we are hearing and this is just coming to me from our producer Chris Sheridan is that the White House Press pool is headed towards walter reed now the walter reed of course is the hospital that im standing in front of and the last time we saw the travel pool moving that the president was headed to the hospital so now that the travel pool is reportedly headed up here as of just the last few moments that could mean the president is planning to leave. Again we were told earlier from his chief of staff that this would be a determination made late this afternoon that several hours from now following consultation with the medical team but again the word were hearing is that the press pool is headed here that only means that the president is preparing to make some sort of movements ok thats thats really interesting well stay with you for that can be of course 11 final conversation point kimberly you know if we listen to his spin doctors not his medical doctors do his spinmeisters his his people that exist in the shadows to they want him to come back from this quite quickly so he can get back on the campaign trail and he can say look im younger than joe biden im im fit m v a royal i glanced off me and its not really as bad as everyones been making out you know im sure he would never say that explicitly of course he would never do that but he would he would make speeches and deliver rallies and rowdy in cools the provenance of which was that kind of destination. Theres no question they want him to get back on the campaign trail pressure to me is standing right next to me what we say going to present him everything ok so what were hearing is peter we may have a briefing coming up in the coming hour or we dont have a time on that but were watching very carefully to hear that there could be some sort of updated information to your question does the president want to get there is he getting pressure from republicans within the white house and even his party absolutely he has again the time is ticking in terms of that calendar november 3rd is not going to be pushed off in terms of voting day the president is trying to get out there as americans are casting their ballots now thats why we saw him sending out those tweets thats why the president is pushing to get back to the white house or we should point out there is a medical suite that can treat him but again the point that the president seems to be feeling is that he must project strength even as we know he has severe vulnerabilities just like the rest of us. He is fallible you has and he is mortal and we know that throughout these last few days there was a rapid decline he did require oxygen he did have a spike in fever and as you and i were talking earlier he does have Underlying Health conditions look at me well hes improved right now to the point he could go to the white house that doesnt mean in the coming days even hours he could again take a turn for the worst ok kimberly great to talk. To chris and well keep talking to you if something develops thanks very much.

Almost 16000 coronavirus cases in england have gone unreported for a week after a technical error it means theres been a delay in efforts to trace the contents of those infected the news has led to more pressure on Prime Minister Boris Johnson who has been widely condemned over his handling of the pandemic and that in barbour has this from london this was all affecting the cases in england and the Government Agency known as Public Health england has admitted responsibility for what theyre calling a Technical Glitch now 15 of the well nearly 16000 cases when unpublished in the daily reports that the government puts out for over a week the problem was we believe that for some files containing positive results the files were too large for the software which is used to transfer data to the central n. H. S. Test and trace system which then goes on to tell people to self isolate and to try to trace their close contacts and let them know so this saw over the weekend figures like on saturday cases daily cases being reported of nearly 13000 and then on sunday 23000 a huge search but this was a result of those missing cases starting to be added to the daily figures because they hadnt gone in when they should have done last week so now they have gone into the count if you like the problem is we dont we dont know exactly how many people out there there are who still need to be contacted the Prime Minister Boris Johnson says all the people who tested positive were contacted on time within the normal timeframe.

In a time when public attention is particularly focused on medical advances this years nobel prize for medicine has been awarded over the discovery of the hepatitis c. Virus the work of americans harvey alter charles rice and britain Michael Horton was on it in stockholm the prize is especially significant this year as the world grapples with the covert pandemic the laureates achievements provided the foundation that was needed to now start combating the spread of the virus thanks to the effective blood screening programs that the thai deceive ours is now almost eliminated in many parts of the world and the development of highly effective antiviral drugs means that more than 90 faith 5 percent of treated patients can be cured from the infection these developments have saved millions of lives well right. Well there is currently no effective vaccine against hepatitis c. But treatments are improving it is a blood borne virus that causes Liver Disease is typically passed on through unsafe injection practices or even the transfusion of on screen blood products according to the World Health Organization it kills around 400000. 00 people every year hepatitis c. Is found worldwide but the World Health Organization says the most affected regions are Northern Africa parts of asia and parts of europe. Toss is an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins school of medicine he says its discoveries like that of hepatitis c. That give us hope for dealing with modern day pandemics. I remember my years in medical School Learning about these habitudes viruses that existed and hepatitis c. Was an interesting one of all of them because it was a blood borne pathogens meaning you need to have blood to blood impact in order for it to infect the next individual and so that meant for decades there were people who would receive a life saving blood transfusion only to suffer liver consequences later and that eluded so many scientists couldnt figure out why that was happening ultimately hepatitis c. And that discovery shed light into recognizing you know this was the virus that was causing these liver injuries and the significance of that while that was done earlier in the seventys the consequence is it changed guidelines to help lead transfusions happen it. Began to save millions of lives because we were able to identify this virus and begin to work and cures and so forth but theres no vaccine i think the biggest big breakthrough with hepatitis c. Is the change of guidelines we have blood transfusions happen in addition to the fact that now we have to yours where we can see millions of the older population who have received transfusions back in the seventys and sixtys as well as current young adults who are struggling with their addictions that also has another plague of hepatitis c. Upon them so i think this this discovery is just one chapter and medicine thats just powerful and one that we can hopefully parallel today with our own viral pandemics.
