In nagornokarabakh. Youre watching live from paris. Thanks for joining us. Madrid has become the first European Capital to be put back into lockdown since it has struggled to contain surging coronavirus cases. Some 4. 8 million will be barred from the area this friday evening as part of a slew of new restrictions. Rules are lester coconnie and tn back in march a are less draconian than back in march. I am joined by our correspondent sarah morris. Sounds like it will be a little less tough than earlier in the year, but a host of new measures being rolled out. Tell us what they are and how people are reacting. As you s said, less draconian than the First National lockdown which affected madrid. Then the spanish people, for three months, were not allowed even to go outside for a walk, unless it was for a medical reason. Under this partial lockdown, up to 5 million m madrid people are in the city, the capital, and in nine surrounding commuter towns will not be able to travel outside their city or town unless it is for a work freezer or some other justification. They will be able to move freely around their area to go, for instance, to a bar or to a restaurant or to the shops, although they are being recommended not to do nonessential journeys, and they are being told they will not be able to get together, either inside or out, even in their private homes, with more than six people. The bars and restaurants will have to shut at 11 00 p. M. , pretty early f for spain, but it takes the shops will be shutting by 10 00, again, early from spain. Less draconian than the first lockdown, but people are pretty demoralized about it. They know that the figures are going up. There has beeeen about 52,000 nw cases in spain just in the last week. About a third of those are in madrid, and the new some action would have to be taken, but they are demoralized, depressed, and many do not think the new restrictions will bebe very effective. Ey think that the real problem lies in the Health Centers and the tracking and tracing. They say there has been too few cases of tracers to make sure that those testing positive do not pass on the virus to other people. Partial lockdown is coming after reasonable authorities of the National Government for these new measures. But it seems the hatchet has not been totally blown yet. Very much so, chris. The Regional Government has said it has filed a complaint at the hihigh court, and the higigh c t will be looking at whetherer the restrictions should have been imposed by the Central Government, the madrid government, and the Central Government is left wing and the madrid government is a conservative, liberal alliance. This has led to a politicical storm. Even one of the liberals has resigned becausese he disagreed with that legal appeal. The madrid region is saying it took its own measusures in specific zones where there were cases of hihigh rates of covid, and the madrid government says that those measures were working in a somome of the regions and neighborhoods in madrid. There were cases of 1000 cases per 100,000 residents, one in 100 people having covid19. In those areas were already subject to two special restrictions, a more severe lockdown. The madrid region is saying that is having an effect and is bringing down the rate. Nevevertheless, madrid still has 700 cacases per 1 100,000, the highest in spain. It means spainin is very much wl above the eu average. Chris ok, thanks for talking to us. White house spokesperson says u. S. President donald trump is feeling good after he and his wife went into isolation after testing positive for covid19. The president is reported to be suffering mild symptoms.

The American People can rest assured that we have a presesidt that is not only on the job, will remain on the job, and i am optimistic that he will have a very quick and speedy recovery. The president s positive test raises questions about where the two plan for the two plan further debates with biden will go ahead, the next one scheduled for october 15 in miami, with the final debate on october 22 in tennessee. In times or people around the globe are urged to practice social distancing, a lot of politics have had to adapt. Handchecks have largely become a thing of the past. An rallies scaledback removed online. People have not always erected in the same way. Only a few months ago, scenes of Mass Gatherings between state leaders would have been hard to imagine. But today, face coverings have become the norm, although adapting to social distancing is not always instinctive. By giving up on handshakes and favoring online conferences, politicians aim to keep International Relations as normal as possible in times of covid19. But finding new ways to rally voters might be one of the toughest challenges. In the u. S. ,. , democrarats havad phone banking and Online Campaign instead of going door to door and using mass rallies. Republicans are sticking to more traditional methods. While donald trump has tested positive, he is not the only leader to have contracted the virus after downplaying its severity. The u. K. S Boris Johnson spent three days in the intensivee care. Pm johnson i have left hospital after a week in which the nhs has saved my life, no question. In brazil, bolsonaro continued to meet voters after testing positive. He says he healed by using i hydroxychloroquine. There is no proof the antimalaria drug can cure covid19 so far. I am taking my third dose of hydroxychloroquine. I feel very well. Over in belarus, alexandnder lukashenko says he was asymptomatic and advocated drinking vodka and going to saunas to avoid the virus. It is not only state leaders who have fallen ill. Prince charles and Prince Albert of monaco both recovered after developing mild symptoms of the virus. Chris moving on, armenia has said it will discuss a ceasefire in the region of nagornokarababakh, were deadly clashes with azerbaijan have been continuing. The disputed region is part of azerbaijan but run by armenian sensitives. There is a joint statement calling for an immediate end of fighting and the resumption of talks. The armenia a Prime Ministerer s been especially vocal on his criticism and the involvement of turkey in the conflict. Our correspondent set down with an armenian captain. It is the continuation fight turkey at the genocide of armenians. It is just armenians in the south caucasus or the last obstacle in the way of turkey in their expansion towards the north, the east. You really think they want to get rid of armenia . Of course. I have no doubt about it. It has been for this historic purpose. It is a nato member youre talking about. I told you, one month ago, that member attackeked another member o of nato, greece. Lets look at what turkey is doing in the mediterranean sea, what theyre doing in syria, iraq. Turkey now today has a clear objective of reinstating the turkish empire. Do not be surprised if that policy succeeds here. Do not be surprised if they attempt to incorporate in that empire not only the greek islands but expand further towards continental europe. If turkey succeeds in this, then we expect them wait for them in the vienna. So you see no solution to this other than to mobilize as many people as possible and keep fighting . Seriousus talk of a peaceful resolutition will be possible wn the terrorists and turkey leave this region, together with their goals. Civilization cannot but prevail, and the will to live and people with the right to live cannot but prevail. There is no doubt that the armenian people, which after living on planet earth for several thousands of years, have the will to live. Perhaps you would like to Say Something to the people of azerbaijan about the will to live. There is only one thing i can say to the people of iser by jean of azerbaijan. Ask yourself to what extent you know the truth about your own people, about your own government, about the wealth, about their transactions, and about their objectives. I think that the people of azerbaijan are hostage to a dictatorial government. Armenians have always been a convenient enemy in it for the dictatorial rule. For him to be ablble, witith tho bypass the problems of democracy, freedom, human rights, freedom of expression. Chris armenias Prime Minister talking there. Lebanon asasked to issue ownr of the ship that brought material from the deadly explosion in the port of beirut.

Lets get t the business news, starting with the Market Reaction to Donald Trumps positive covid test. A rough day on wall street friday. Investors do not like uncertainty. Questions linger of the extent of the outbreak in the white house. The s p finishing the day down around 1 . On the tech heavy nasdaq, more than 2 . Dow jones assures holding at around. 5 losses. Some optimism that congress may consider a bailout for the airline industry. Earlier in the day, european markets ended around the flat line. The footsie shaking out the news about trump the ftse shaking at the news about trump. The dax in print for it lost about. 3 . Also friday was the release of the u. S. Closely watched monthly jobs report. In employment t rate fell slightly, but job growth w was lower than expected. Everyone knows how fragile the recovery is and it comes as Congress Continues to debate stimulus measures. Lets get details. The u. S. Economy is continuing to create new jobs but a lot less than what is needed to erase the losses that were incurred during the coronavirus pandemic. That is the main take away from the september jobs report, the last month we update before the president ial elections. Employers added 661,000 jobs in september, the fifth straight month of job gains. That has allowed the Unemployment Rate to drop 7. 9 . But the devil is in the details. The drop in joblessness mostly flicks a drop in the number ofof pepeople seeking work, rather tn an uptick in hiring, and the gains that were made most of come from workers who were laid off in the spring andnd are now being hired back. The jobs report this month continues to dash hopes of a quick vshaped recovery. So far, the u. S. Has only recovered half of the 22 million jobs lost so far this year. In washingtons failure to reach an agreement on a stimulus plan could delay a recovery even third or just even further. Thursday, democratss passed a recovery package in the house of representatives but most republicans say t the bill is to large, any senate has yet to agree to a compromise. Meantime, thousands of people are continuing to lose their jobs. The aviation sector remains one of the hardest hit. Just this week, United Airlines and American Airlines were forced to furlough 32,000 employees. The pandemic sets to claymore job losses in france. One Company Prepared to cut nearly 190900 jobs amid a broadr shift towards telecommuting. They say client severs work from home around twice a week as opposed to once a week before the pandemic. Fewer people are in the office and fewer people in ththe cafeterias. Unions said the proposed cuts come at a very difficult time. [speaking foreign language] staying in france where gym employees posted protested against closures. The opposition to the shutdowns of triggered a series of court battles. The Health Ministry plans to revisit the policies on a sport by sport basis per it some industry workers say they are tired of it. [speaking foreign language] finally, while it has beena rough friday for many on the markets, o one footwear companys among the minority singing gains. Shares for American Firm crocs were up around 7 earlier as Justin Bieber hinted at a collaboration and shared a photo with the message soon. Shares reached t their highest level since 2007. It would not be the first time the brand has rolled out a major partnership. Post malone also collaborated with the mucuchmaligned shoe company. Chris thank you very much for that business update. Time for media watch. I am guessing youre starting off with the place where there was the most reaction. Internet was flooded with reaction. A lot of sympathy, but also many expressing a bit of with some memes, and perhaps pushing the line of it today on twitter. Many twitter users using trumps own words against him. He says, coronavirus, stand back and stand by, referring to the words trump used about a farright group in the debate two days ago. Here is another, a singapore news account, a chinese name telling trump to try bleach. They said, why dont you give it a go . This user says, one of the first symptoms of covid is losing your sense of taste. I think, mr. President , that you lost it a long time ago. The guardian says, the news was not really a surprise it was a surprise that many saw coming given his cavalier attitude to the virus. But that has not stopped some questioning or asking for proof that trump really is ill. A lot t of speculation it is a leftwing conspiracy or maybe an excuse to bail out of the next series of debates as he did not do terribly well in the first one. People are reminded that the net effect of Boris Johnson catching, 19 was dish catching covid19 was patriotic support, so it could work in trumps favor. It has not stopped more conspiracy theories, like this Republican Former congressional candidate who floated the idea that it was the left to deliberately infected trump at the debate. It has gotten more than 20,000 likes and counting. For his part, joe biden, of course, shared the stage with trump two days earlier. He sent his wishes to trump and melania for a swift recovery. He also said he hopes this serves as a reminder to wear a mask, keep social distance, and wash your hands. He has since tested negative to that. Also, trump has been unusually quiet since he announced he was going to quarantine. As this twitter user suggests, that seems unlikely to remain the case. Chris we may hear from him. Moving on to a bizarre [indiscernible] it comes at a time of heightened violence between iser by sean and neighbor armenia between asia by sean and neighbor armenia. It was developed by the azerbaijan military, a music video that shows off touches the military hardwarare but also ace during power rock number entitled free after a fire. Lets take a listen. [hard rock music i in foreignlanguage] so this video is actually not the first of its kind. Azerbaijan has released quite a few videos like this before, but it began trending on twitter. It is kind of a eurovision flavor to it but with a few more automatic weapons thrown in. Others left wondering who wore it better, this azerbaijani singer or katy perry . It is also bringing attention to the genre of come i dont know, military propaganda tunes by other countries. This one is from 2006, which i will not make you suffer through. So far, the Armenian Border guards has not released a sort of come back. Still waiting. Chris a new series set in france, or at least a version of it, has been reviewed in advance of coming out. But it has since dropped today. People have already been binging it. It is really divided, pretty much opinion down national lines. It is sort of a sex and the city in paris. Americans on social media are raving about it, a lot of them, calling it fluffy, decadent, and addictive. But it seems to be going too far for the french. One newspaper review says all it does is rehash attired american caricature of the capital and the french, in general. And New York Times spoke to real prescience in says it is going to like sour wine with them. There is a lot of reaction to emilys outfits. She waltzes around paris in stilettos, and this french twitter user says, in the real paris, 15 guys would have insulted her for not sharing snapchat details. And there was a recent incident where a woman was turned away for showing too much cleavage. This twitter user wondering about this outfit, the short skirt and asking what weather it would work for. Chris going to be a rainy weekend apparently. Not appropriate for that. Chris thank you very much. Youre watching live from paris. We are going to take a break.
