Virus a major cause of Liver Disease the prestigious award it carries a shared prize money of a 1000000. 00. Bars and restaurants in paris have been serving customers for the last time laughing to close their doors for 2 weeks here restrictions are being imposed in the french capital following a surge in corona virus infections the government had previously lifted a nationwide lockdown. This is g. W. News from berlin follow us on twitter and instagram d w news or visit our website dot com. Or. As President Trumps a press secretary becomes the latest style high level republican to test positive for corona virus the president himself is going back to the white house despite this he is still infectious and isolating as is his Campaign Manager so with less than a month to election day whos actually running the campaign im still gail in then and this is the day. So he may not entirely be a little woods yet at the team and i agree that all are a valuation of the most importantly his clinical status to support the president s safe return home but we all remain cautiously optimistic. And on guard we have worked very closely with the walter reed team to ensure that we are looking very closely at Infection Control Prevention Strategies and the right posture so that the president can safely return to his residence we try to get patients homes out of the hospital. As quickly as is safe and reasonable every day patient stays in the hospital unnecessarily is a risk to themselves he has never once pushed us to do anything that was beyond safe and reasonable practice that we all 1st of. All so on the day bellerose Opposition Leader took on a sky out visits germany to meet with chancellor im going to machall what is she looking for a bird to broker talks with Alexander Lukashenko now we need. Help in mediation negotiations. Authorities and we think that. That is really just going to be extremely helpful in this situation. Welcome to the day President Trump has heading home to the white house the doctors say he is fit to do so although they also say hes not out of the woods and needs to be closely monitored despite still being infectious the president tweeted that he feels better than he has done for 20 years and urge people not to be afraid of the coronavirus he was helicoptered into the Walter Reed Medical Center in maryland 3 days ago after testing positive and showing symptoms of covered 19 doctors explained why theyre so confident that he could be discharged. We sent patients home with medications all the time. In fact yesterday afternoon and probably met most of his discharge requirements safely from the hospital and hes returning to the facility the white house medical unit and staff 247 top notch physicians nurses p. A. s logisticians and the unit here the team here behind me is going to continue to support us in that nature we all remain cautiously optimistic and on guard because were in a bit of uncharted territory when it comes to a patient that received the therapy she has so early in the course so were looking to this weekend if we can get through to monday with him remaining the same or improving better yet then we will all take that final deep sigh of relief. But as i said 247 world class medical care surrounding him down there were not going to miss anything that we were caught of here all right lets catch up with a Senate Without shockley not alimony who writes for the Washington Post and has that power up newsletter welcome to you this has all the makings of a truck miracle hes out of hospital we dont know quite how ill he is but apparently fit enough to return to the white house is expected to go back to work. Thats exactly what his doctor dr connelly said although he declined to answer several pretty important questions again during this press conference the 3rd of the press conferences that hes held where hes declined to disclose Important Information such as the status of the president s lumps just how many times he is needed and to be administered oxygen but as you just saw he gave a produce any review of how the president s doing and says that hes going to be taking care of the best doctors in the world hes currently under on several several therapeutics and returning to the white house tonight you you you you mentioned what a weird thing about this the president of the United States in hospital but the doctors have been surprisingly vague about whats wrong with him theyve talked to hes gone from having mild symptoms to needing oxygen to being treated with that some methods which is no movies a a serious cases to now being released while still sick does this matter to people that. You know it should matter to people there is a long well documented history of president s being really private and you know shrouding there the status of their Health Conditions with secrecy but that being said this is a matter of Public Knowledge this is something that they should be communicating to the public and keeping americans up to iran and being fully transparent about especially as were under 30 days away from the election and the president is you know infected with a highly contagious disease virus that has effects killed 200000 americans but dr connelly citing hipaa regulations which is a law in the United States that prevents patients that prevents doctors from disclosing information that patients do not want released he said that you know due to these have a regulation is that he couldnt tell us any more specific medications that the president might be on or what his long scans look like so again he continued to say you know withhold some very Important Information that you know could give us a serious and better picture of what the president s Current Health status actually is anybodys that is out of hospital so i suppose we should be thankful for that meanwhile the latest of his inner circle to be confirmed with cobbett is press secretary to Caylee Kennedy hours after being told about her positive test she issued this statement on twitter heres just a part of it after testing that it have consistently including every day since thursday i tested positive for covered 19 on monday morning one experiencing no symptoms moreover i definitively had no knowledge of hope hickss diagnosis brides are holding a White House Press briefing on thursday so what is the story here why is she protesting so much. That is an excellent question and kelli magnan is response and handling of this situation is really emblematic of the way the white house has viewed and treated the virus and flouted centers for Disease Control guidelines throughout this entire ordeal mcenaney did in fact we now know of hexes diagnosis and this is why the c. D. C. Has these guidelines neck and that in any statement you know fundamentally represents an misunderstanding of the guidelines what the c. D. C. Says that is that you can test negative several times even if you have the virus especially if youve been exposed to it and as we know mcmahon has been around the president hope its an enclosed proximity with several other people who have tested positive yet she continued to return to the workplace brief reporters did not wear a mask and endanger others around her even though the c. D. C. Guidelines recommends that people who have been exposed to the virus stay at home in quarantine for 14 days even just to take precautions even if you do not test positive for myras in those 14 to protect others around you so yes again saying that i answer yes to this question before we ask a again we have a white house we have a president we have white house staffers who appear to be acting. Particularly whats what recklessly we have people not Wearing Masks we have people not isolating sensible people say that is not a sensible thing to do to people really care the so many high level republicans that seem to have acted in such a reckless mullet. People are starting to care youre hearing senior republican senators on capitol hill start to worry that the Republican Party is looking like the stoop that is what we at the Washington Post reported over the weekend especially since there are a handful of Vulnerable Senate republican senators who are up for reelection and if they lose that means that Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell will lose his majority and if the president wins reelection that means that it will be much harder to govern with a democratic led senate you know we did see the president s polls tank over the weekend and that polling was conducted after the debate and not and the or his diagnosis of it became public so it remains to be seen just how much more his stance in the polls will drop you know once there is another round of polling conducted and people are responding in real time to his diagnosis this infection has also made the president s Campaign Come crying to a halt as applied to her the president does rely on these rallies in person several of them about the president because we have a president now coming out of hospital but his Campaign Manager bill stepien has also tested positive for covet so who is running the company and indeed is there much of a Trump Campaign at the moment. So there is in fact a you know a robust Strong Campaign i do speak with several Time Campaign sources who are on the ground who are organizing these are talented operatives that being said the president has always been the one who has run his campaign thats why he cycles for so many Campaign Manager so many chief of staffs this is his management style its why theres been so much turnover in the white house and in his campaign he dictates the message and largely you know his Campaign Strategy relies on his personality and these rallies that he holds that draws in so many people good talking to thank you so much for joining us such likely in alimony from the Washington Post thanks for having me. Meanwhile the British Government is investigating how nearly 16000 new Coronavirus Infections went unreported because of what they say was a Technical Glitch Health Minister matt hancock says it was critical to ensure the mistake doesnt happen again the 15841 virus cases from september the 25th to the 2nd of october or not added to official figures Prime Minister baraks johnson seemed quite delighted about the era the the incidents that were seeing in the cases really sort of corresponds to pretty much where we thought. We were and to be frank i think that the slightly lower numbers that wed seen. Didnt really reflect where we thought that the disease was likely to go so i think its these numbers are realistic. So lets take a closer look at this with paul hunter hes professor of medicine at the university of east anglia england welcome to t. W. Professor is paris johnson right to be quite so relaxed about failing to count nearly 16000 coronavirus cases. I think there is a serious issue here and that is that if you are going to be running a test track and trace system that will actually stop transmission ongoing transmission in the community then you have to be really timely in your response you have to identify cases seen as possible and then identify that contact and advise the contacts just to help isolate and test if its necessary or any delay that reduces the effectiveness of the system so if we are having to wait a week to tell potential contacts then the chances are if they are even if those contacts are infected they will have developed their infection they were potentially incorrect other people and may well actually be already getting to the point where theyre already less infectious as they were a few days earlier so yes it is a serious. Mission that we havent been able to follow up as many as many as. 30000 contacts that really should have been followed a more timely than we have managed ok so theres a real image of you mentioned that are of a good track and trace system a timely intervention identify the cases and identify contacts putting those 16000. 00 cases aside how does britains track and trace a system match up against so strict criteria. Well i think. It has been difficult and it remains difficult i think they. Are not forgive me for interrupting when you say it has been difficult you mean its not been going well. I think so yes they the we have not been i dont contacting as many cases as we would have liked in the past and certainly the evidence is that many people whove been contacted havent actually been responding appropriately havent been self isolating and to address that the u. K. Recently introduced. New laws that made it actually a criminal offense not to self isolate when advised by the test track and traces them compare having said that compared to many other countries we certainly not one of the worst countries in europe in terms of our response to 19 but. Could certainly do better the u. K. Also seems to be having a problem with the thousands of students having to be locked down in new universities in Manchester Edinburgh and glasgow amongst others not to be wise after the event but it does seem predictable that you take tens of thousands of 18 year olds living away from home for the 1st time theyre going to have little time for social distancing this could have been avoided couldnt it. Well certainly i think its predictable whether its avoidable or not is that it is a different issue and i think. The issue is whether or not you will you can balance the loss of education that would come with closing our universities at this stage with the. The harm that would be done to the students from both from the virus and from not attending education so certainly it was predictable and i think many people were expecting that to be a fairly substantial number of cases amongst universities weve seen that already both in america and elsewhere where in countries where universities went back for the u. K. What is the alternative the alternative closed not open the universities against again this. Damaging many. Young peoples education. I wonder what sort of what people make of the political what you make of the Political Leadership on here because you have said its important to be timely in identifying the cases and identifying our contacts and acting quickly but we have the u. K. Has a Health Secretary matthau kark who says this mistake losing nearly 16000 cases has not substantially changed the governments assessment of coverage 1000 impact and has a not impact the basis on which decisions about local action were taken last week so. What you say what he says the political leader seems to be at odds. No i dont think so i well certainly i i dont certainly dont agree with everything that our minister said but in this industry got the u. K. Tends to make decisions on on a western city. And when you look at this when both cases are being lost many of the most most of them would actually not as already not would have not come to the attention of the system by wednesday evening anyway so i dont think its actually made that much difference to right decisions on local lock downs this week most of the cases that were seeing most of the big increase that weve seen in the last week would would even if it were probably would only really have come to the discussion points in the next wednesdays. Command meeting where they decide on these things ok so briefly what what sort of pandemic do you think theyd be u. K. Is having it clearly these are unprecedented times but how well is there is it being controlled. Well i just got to look at the figures it is it is has increased pretty dramatically over the last few weeks. Compared to other countries we were better than many not as good as some and its easy to point to other countries where that have had a much more severe increase in in recent weeks than we have. We are still having said that a long way to go it will always always was going to be a very tough autumn this year in terms of infections. Provide if we cant and i think the decision is if we cant go back to the intense lockdown that we had in april things are better now than they were earlier in the year the availability of p. P. S. Better we we were better at treating severely ill patients now than we were but still its going to be a tough autumn thank you for joining us they are climbing about so clearly a professor of poor hunter from the university of east anglia thank. My father. Im going to research Opposition Leaders spent lanark to come a skier is here in berlin to ask for german help in solving the crisis in her country as she herself was forced into exile after losing all this president ial election 2 months standing or for terrible either Alexander Lukashenko as shes been beating the 2 of us weekly mass protests in her country continue human rights organizations say more than 10000 people have been detained in belarus since the election as she reads german chancellor Angela Merkel on tuesday ahead of that mystical sky told e. W. Why germany might play such an important role. This moment to prove. The recent political crisis in. Support of any country ring around is important for us but germany is. The most powerful countries in the world is extremely important because we know we need. Help in mediation of power in the authorities and we think that germany and that is really just going to be extremely helpful in this situation. Thats just what the devil of Political Correspondent simon young welcome simon so when spotlight on a skier asks. For help and mediate saying the with the better roots in the government what sort of answer do you think shes going to get. Well phil i think its pretty clear where the sympathies lie in the chancellor ie Angela Merkel spokesman was saying today that she sees spent. As a key figure in the belarus Opposition Movement that shes looking forward to their meeting very much on tuesday and this has got huge admiration for the peaceful demonstrators in belarus and the German Government is at the same time repeating its calls on the regime to end violence to release Political Prisoners and to hold very Transparent Elections or i think you can see the direction in which the thinking is going to can all scar will get a good reception having said that it will he will have to wait and see what she asked for and whether berlin can become more directly involved in mediation its worth pointing out back in august and other medical agreed with bloody amir putin that neither germany or russia would get more directly involved in internal affairs in belarus some would say putin has gone back on that already with his demonstrations of backing for look. But its also worth saying to herself has said again today in that d. W. Interview that in the end only the people of bella reuss can solve this crisis yet so weve had these calls from from europe for for a peaceful resolution of this weve had calls from from germany is not only that there doesnt seem to be any indication that look is listening whether it comes from whether the call comes from uncle or merkel or anyone else. Well maybe there doesnt perhaps behind the scenes more is going on the we know about i think germanys position in all this is a sort of conduit for diplomatic pressure from the e. U. And thats particularly true at the moment during the last 6 months of this year when germany holds the e. U. Presidency and i think the e. U. Pressure at the moment is coming in the form of statements of support and backing of this type for the for the opposition theres also a certain amount perhaps that could be done in the way of Material Support with legal medical support or indeed offering refuge to activists who fear for their safety and want to leave belarus but so far it doesnt go beyond that i think its about adding to the pressure also demonstrating to russia that really theres not much advantage for them in backing lucas. Where is the german geo political interest in this why what what what does germany get out of. Being seen with a kind of skier and potentially being in opposition to him or putin over this. Well i think its about you know supporting peaceful protest and democratic rights also germany i think would like to see the end of europes longest dictatorship as many have called it that would send a message into the post serviette space that the era of the autocrats is coming to an end and that democracy continues its advance i think that is the sort of Broad Perspective that people in berlin would look for having said that theres a need of course to tread carefully because russia tends to be nervous about this type of development and just all not points we have better results position later here in berlin to converse with the makah on tuesday at the same time as we have a Prominent Russian Opposition Leader Alexei Novelli who still here in berlin and after being poisoned everybody thinks its by the russians this germany of a particular attraction for dissidents from the former soviet union. Well phil is seems to and i think lane in particular again and again weve seen these kind of figures popping up in News Headlines here in germany one thinks of the chechen dissident who was a man actually who had a georgian passport he was mooted in berlin in august 2019 actually just a short distance from chancellor merkels office right in the center of berlin german prosecutors say that was a killing carried out by russian agents to put a stop to him weve also seen protests here outside the Russian Embassy organized by russian citizens among them for instance a cousin of Boris Nemtsov the murdered russian politician protesting against what they call putins tera so again and again we see opposition figures cropping up in germany.
