In brazil to lose more than 100000 people to the current a virus. Clothes and beaks minute she is accused of torturing and killing civilians as it battles on groups trying to create an Islamic State. And 2 dead and 25 missing after storm hits france and italy sweeping away houses and roads. Mixed messages over dont trumps Coronavirus Diagnosis a causing confusion over the health of the worlds most powerful president officials and doctors are presenting contradictory explanations of when the u. S. Needed was infected and how sick he actually may be donald trump himself has tweeted from hospital that hes feeling well and medics at Walter Reed Medical Center where hes been since friday the president s own doctor sean connery also said he was doing very well and had been fever free for 24 hours at this time the team and i are extremely happy with the progress the president has made there is a he had a mild cough and some little congestion fatigue all of which are now resolving an improving support to note the president s been fever free for over 24 hours we remain cautiously optimistic but hes doing great. But minutes after that an official close to trump said some of his vital signs over the past 24 hours have been very concerning and the next 48 hours a critical and Senate Republicans have canceled all legislative work until october the 19th as the coronavirus sweeps through the partys ranks are gathering at the white house rose garden last week looks like it could be a super spreader event after several Top Republicans who attended it tested positive it wasnt much social distancing or many face masks at the event to nominate Amy Kearney Barrett to the Supreme Court her appointment could also be at risk as key members of the Senate Judiciary committee a contract to the virus senator mike lee seen here hugging other attendees tested positive on friday as did fellow Committee Member senator tom tillis former trump advisor Kellyanne Conway and from a new Jersey Governor Chris Christie on the trump allies who tested positive include his Campaign Manager and the Republican National committee chair. Im fisher joins us live from outside the water made mention Medical Center in bethesda maryland as well it seems that theres more confusion than carry out a chunk said dr statement including when he was actually diagnosed. Exactly i mean the fashionable of crisis communication is one message one messenger and certainly not happening here although given this is the Trump White House should we be surprised the doctor in his News Conference a few hours ago said that donald trump had been treated 72 hours ago which would be the diagnosis. Was it of covert tests somewhere around wednesday afternoon no that is called a matic because the president then went to a fundraising event on wednesday and of course went to a very expensive fundraising event at his bed minister of state on thursday with then you also have the doctor saying that the president was doing quite well we have mark meadows who is his chief of staff then fresh anonymously briefing but then putting his name to a statement saying that the last 24 hours have been incredibly difficult and if you follow the break comes a suggestion that the president was put on oxygen while he was in the white house because he was having difficulty on friday one of the reasons why they moved him to walter reed and he also said the next 48 hours would be critical while any medical expert whos been dealing with covert will tell you that the really difficult period is 5. 00 to 10. 00 days away from the diagnosis so the president is receiving a cocktail of drugs and intravenous drip we understand which would suggest that hes going to spend at least the next 4 days here at walter reed but clearly the white house and the doctors have to get their act together get their story together this isnt a political thing this is people waiting to see how the president of the United States is what is interesting is that after the doctor gave his initial News Conference after. Meadows then spoke to the media the doctor then reversed his position and said when he said 72 hours he was actually thinking 3 days thursday night friday saturday and when he was talking about being treated within 48 hours he actually meant friday and saturday is that correct well we havent had the chance to speak to anyone since. And im in the meantime know the implications of so many senior testing positive. Well there publicans have said that theyre going to cancel really a legislative action in the senate for the next week at least now people will say well that hit the move to nominate a conservative Supreme Court justice at the event which youve identified could well have been the start of the spread of this event through the senior ranks of the Republican Party it seems unlikely that the republicans are going to do that Mitch Mcconnell has tweeted out just in the last hour or so that hes spoken to the president and the president is pushing him to go ahead with that nomination process the difficulty theyve got is that 1st of all the democrats think that this is a really bad idea but theyve been thinking its a really bad idea simply because he is a. Has been nominated is a conservative and they think that i should wait till after the election but the republicans also have an issue as well in that given the number of republicans senators that have tested positive if there was a vote on the floor any time soon after say the next 2 weeks and more senators were impacted they might not have the votes to push through that nomination and that would be a big political defeat particularly if that vote was to take place before the election on november the 3rd so you can see why there is deep concern in republican ranks at the moment that the front that theyre putting to the public is that they are bullish they will push ahead and they are convinced they can get a conservative justice nominated to the Supreme Court and confirmed before the election the reality is that were really in normans land at the moment politically because no one knows just how wide the impact of this covert oprah is going to be in an official thank you very much until the sun well leaders have been wishing donald trump and Melania Trump a speedy recovery following their diagnosis among the 1st was a promise to johnson was treated for kevin 100 in march he says he has. No doubt trump will make a strong recovery in what the french president posted a photo of this handwritten note to social media telling the president to stay strong the north Korean Leader kim jong un and chinese president xi jinping also offered their sympathies according to the countrys state media agencies President Trump has repeatedly said the u. S. Has turned a corner when it comes to covert 19 but he was just one of more than 54000 people who tested positive in the u. S. On friday and at least 800 more people died cases have been going up in at least 33 states as well as pressure rico since late august. I said more about that with eric highlighting and if you dont know and just and senior fellow at the federation of american scientists thanks very much for being with us so what do you make and keep the latest. Information weve had of a condition and perhaps an certainty about when he was actually diagnosed. You know this information has a lot of epidemiologists and reporters in a state of consternation because the personal physician for the doctor was telling us one thing but were getting insider info that completely contradicted the 72 hour diagnosis which would have put it as i know says on wednesday he did dr notably did not retract it after he said it on stage only later in a memo that is worrisome because you which should you believe the other question is theres another statement he made that said they repeated the testing on thursday afternoon which meant the earlier time line that statements are consistent with the earlier time line. Long story short this is this is a serious problem and i think theres many other contradictions about oxygen as well whether he was on it and it turns out he was even though the doctor was not and basically trump is you know his fever was so high that so theres insiders who claim he said am i going to die like my friend in new york in april so this is definitely much worse than what his personal physician is making it out to be so what about the treatment that hes on i mean the antimony treatments i phone tech not approved officially for use is it surprising that he had been put on something that. Yeah its it is very surprising because you know the run disappeared not surprising because its already. Theres Clinical Trials to sort of support it but the rejoinder on Monoclonal Antibody there is no trials actually proves it works yet theres no emergency use authorization and theres almost no clue when point that there shows a prevents yarra mission or Hospital Mission yet they gave him the highest dose that shows desperation even if it was for compassionate use for some reason that is again a sign of desperation i think basically that theres an insider source people suspect was a chief of staff to the white house who basically says he had a very high fever and the next 48 hours are really critical so trump isnt definitely not out of the woods and using those experimental unproven drugs shows desperation and they did mention in the News Conference that the risky phase is so 7. 00 to 1010. 00 days where they dont as how what will they be looking out for now outsource sorts of. Conditions and sara. Well obviously theyre looking at the blood oxygen and the reports were trumps blocks and had actually dropped a lot yesterday didnt specify how much its gone up a little bit but obviously a fever and the shortness of breath the shortness of breath is signals of progression and usually the symptoms as a breath onset is one week after the initial symptoms which is about thursday afternoon and so we are definitely not out of the woods and trump has already flipped a coin and many unfavorable directions asymptomatic for something he has milder says moderate he has the more moderate case right now so it is a very careful watchful waiting period to me about the situation more generally in the United States how do you think the picture is going and then went with a crowd of ours. Well its not really great the us has about 10 percent increase per week in cases thats been surging again after a previous low and i didnt vision for the 1st time in 2 months hospitalizations are now back on the rise and not just a one time the 7 day average possible zation is back on the rise an oscillation always lags cases and deaths always lies cost position death has increased yet but there are troubling scene there are solutions also increasing shows that this epidemic truly is growing and u. S. As we approach the fall just like the rest of europe might be in a really bad situation since more the compounding of flu and more indoor activity means greater likelihood of indoor transmission dr erica thank you very much indeed for talking to us and our appreciate it thank you well have more on the fallout from the contract in coronaviruses later this news hour including the effect on the race to the white house recover in time to tackle joe bidens lead in the polls. And armenia says it will use all of this is harry minas to protect Ethnic Armenians from azerbaijan as fighting rages for a 7th day and theyre going to carry back. Indias spiralling coronavirus outbreak has now killed more than 100000 people as many 10 percent of global deaths from the disease its only the 3rd country to recall that number after the United States and brazil the virus hit india harder than any other country in september according the highest daily number of infections and fatalities in the world on his dinner into modis government has been criticized for its handling of the virus and the effect on the economy which has left millions jobless lets go straight to be a shana and a professor of International Relations at the university of westminster thanks for being with us so as indias strategy for dealing with coronavirus changed since the early days of the of the savannah down back in march. In fact what we noticed with the india that there was no proper strategy from the beginning the very beginning with the war and about how serious the president going to be he asked people to come together but in the quantity policy there was not much there were initial lockdown of course a lot of millions of Migrant Workers were left on their own and there was spread to that in recent times rather than focusing on for instance increase in ice Hospital Capacity ice cube it capacity again and again to focus on how we should be working together rather than actually chained by the government so in practice whatever happened in the economy of support massively like many other countries debts arriving and one could say that indias death rate is lower than lets say us in iraq as our us have italy or u. K. But in the population of in days much younger than the us or a the u. K. So we cant really compare the situation is quite dire now and we do not see government having any concrete policy on this so i mean which states in india the hardest hit and what are the reasons behind the differences at them said the states that the harvest is in to maharashtra which is one of the richest states punjab with also there the mulattoes of the states that are richer have higher rates and one could say that because they have bigger cities but thats not the only case it also points out that the poorest state of the state that are impoverished that have been hard sharp can make their testing and its not taking place so the fact of the infection or the rate of infection does not necessarily have the actually infection it reflects where the testing is being done so the risk is of course the major biffin if live in villages in villages theyve hardly Testing Facilities even to people who are infected or theyre dying there is no date on it because in one more point of in the detritus station again its not really meticulous and you get that we should expect that leverage 700000 case and its like to do a few times more than that and you mention the fact that the pandemic has had on the poor people what sort of assistance being put in place and there were there was talk of pretty version of essential for it surprised 800000000 people or so on how much of that has actually happened so the kind of government that you the far right government in the ashes i mean theyre good at talking about things but not. Much in fact if the name will be a promise we think that late in the beginning and now hes gone quite logical or good in practice it will not happen and a lot of teachers with the problems of the state and the center and their. Legal games also attract destructive equal can we view your group with them but in practice if you did it we did that help is reaching out to the world and it isnt much we dont definitely backward looking at the rights and becoming must step professor to be a shannon thank you very much indeed for talking to us thank you thank you. And the u. K. Has reported nearly 13000 new cases almost double fridays figure and the government says it expects the number to keep rising in the next few days this after frances covert 19 outbreak again hit record levels with almost 17000 new cases confirmed in the past 24 hours thats almost 900 more than the previous high registered last week another 49 people have died bringing frances total death toll 232198 the 8th highest in the world the government is expected to announce new measures to curb the outbreak 100 is back under partial lockdown as the governor struggles to stem rising coronavirus cases in whats become europes biggest hotspot 4800000 people are now barred from leaving the spanish capital and restaurants capacities have been harmed police have set up barricades to stop cars on major roads leading in and out of the city or restrictions are not as strict as they were in march residents are being charged not to move around unless absolutely necessary but it has had 770000 confirmed cases since the start of the pandemic matter herro has more from madrid. These new restrictions will affect nearly 5000000 People Living in madrid that will see how did daily lives will be limited in the following days they wont be able to leave their homes unless this is strictly necessary which means going to work going to school visiting doctor or going to walk to the groceries also social gathering has been limited for all these areas and groups of people will be up to 6 people in private and public spaces bars and restaurants have to reduce their capacity 50 percent and will be closing doors at 11 pm the confrontation between the Regional Government that has accepted but has filed this order from the Spanish Health ministry hasnt held the citizens to understand whats going on and has caused a big huge couse and confusion among the spaniards and we. Believe people are really desperate because of the confrontation between our authorities the protocol and logistics to implement the order is failing and in the end the one being blamed is the citizen this you measures of a partial lockdown will be reviewed on a weekly basis and once the number of covered 9000 infections goes down the Spanish Government will be reopening in one in southern germany thousands of people have been protesting against coronavirus restrictions demonstrators formed a human chain on the shores of Lake Constance which borders austria and switzerland as they tried to connect demonstrators across 3 countries counter protesters also marched in support of government measures nearly 9 and a half 1000 people have died in germany and more than 295000 have been infected which is relatively low compared that compared to other european countries.

Now its a month to election day in the u. S. And Trumps Campaign has been thrown into chaos by his coded 19 diagnosis but he was already struggling in the polls against joe biden the democratic nominee has a 3 point lead over the president in the most recent survey put out by i b d t p p on friday and bidens lead shoots up to 7 points if we look at an average of the last 10 polls but winning the popular vote isnt enough as Hillary Clinton proved a candidate needs to win 270 votes in the Electoral College to become president each us state has allocated a Different Number of electors which makes some of the major battlegrounds the polls suggest biden would clinch 226. 00 and trump just 125. 00 another 187. 00 a still up for grabs including florida texas and ohio. Im not joined by Democratic Political strategist and adam goodman a republican strategist thanks both of you for being with us on out of there what start with you adam goodman so the president is in hospital what he said the main impact is going to be on the Election Campaign well its interesting you were just leading into this segment talking about polls theres a new zogby poll that just came out that your the president is up 5 points since he was hospitalized which puts him in a statistical dead heat with joe biden and as you also pointed out in your opener its not about the popular vote anyway its about what happens in the electoral the battleground states in particular and those were also within the margin of error going into this incredible unprecedented episode but in terms of what the president s campaign is doing lauren theyre charging forward theyve theyve announced operation maga where members of the tribe family and the Vice President and others are going to be championing the Campaign Across the trail and the difficulty in understanding whats going to happen next and how its going to play ok is there are people here that are 2nd i want to bring in that hasnt just on the issue of the the sympathy effect kicked to do you think thats true that there is a sympathy for the president that might damage bidens chances im not sure its too early to tell but what i do know is that Something Like this a major event like this puts in sharp focus what is really and has constantly been the number one issue of this campaign the president s handling this disastrous handling of the pen demick i mean theres nothing else that that really rises to the top and thats really proves that sadly. Madam goodman just on the question of the did the diagnosis theres some confusion about when he was diagnosed at how damaging is it to have mixed messages coming out on the something so critical as the president s health. Well there was a lot of impatience even learning yesterday im talking 2 hours that we learned that the president was going to be transported by helicopter to water reed hospital there was all this fresh ration about why dont we have more details why dont we know more we didnt know enough yet the doctors were still doing their own analysis examinations and we got a thorough. And a press conference that happened this morning for the doctor flanked by 18 it seemed like medical professionals to learn more about what it is but what you were ported up front is right this light there early and positive signs the next 24 to 48 hours are critical we know that from what weve seen in terms of code around the world and how its impacted others and i think everybody not only in this country but throughout the world whether you like the president or not you have to be pulling for him ok. Just on the issue of the the way the president is being treated i mean. The republicans perhaps we can just that mentioning the numbers adult has franking the flanking the the main doctor who is speaking what about the people around the country who have who had initially struggled to get any kind of health care in the pandemic are they are they going to be offended by the fact that theres this so much. So much attention on the president when they they bet it could get treated. Well this is a much bigger issue of course the president deserves treatment the bigger issue of course is that the United States is the country that doesnt guarantee health care for all of its citizens 200000 people have died in this country of this disease and even before the pandemic the number one cause of bankruptcy in this country was medical bills its not something that exists in the rest of the industrialized world so this again puts in sharp contrast the different visions that we have most americans believe that a Better Future is possible but were beginning to lose faith that this is possible with the current president and just staying with you but what do you think the effect will be of the all the republicans you know publicans or several republicans in the senate being taken ill and the senate delaying activity for a couple of weeks what will you think that the Supremes Court issue will be affected at all while this well the priority has to be and the health and well being of the people affected by this virus that includes the senators as well as the staff for some of them like President Trump that mean mean hospitalisation if thats the case then we really need to be sure and be clear that were taking care of each other so if people need to go to the hospital or if we need to spend hearings that is the best thing to do for Peoples Health adam goodman what do you reckon that it is unlikely to delay the Supreme Court decision you have a nose that say thats priority number one if nothing else if the president doesnt win reelection at the senate from republican troll a democrat the one thing that republicans want more than anything is a solid Supreme Court and i can tell you now there will be a nomination vote on the proposed justice and there will be a new justice added to the Supreme Court the United States regardless of how its done dont tell me about the way that the advertising during the campaign i mean biden has said hes going to pull the negative ads what what sort of impact will that have starting with you adam goodman. Well you know he it is it was a very classy move is what he should have done i can tell you ive been doing advertising in politics for 40 years the command was made to t. V. Stations on friday i can tell you not all negative ads were able to be pulled these laws for already closed and you have outside groups theyre going after the president negatively that are controlled directly by the by and campaign but will be associated by that the biggest thing and i want to hear what a shot has to say on this the biggest thing is at a time when someone is struggling good tension for their survival. We go this is how you feel about each other politically thats when you have a sensor in the to unite and i think thats whats going to happen even in the rough and tumble of politics that has i dont want to be on that does i got the impression that Trumps Campaign hasnt pulled that negative advertising is that your impression if that is my impression and just like adam and mentioned its not just the campaigns themselves you still find enormous negative activity in social media and the rest if it really is time to unite then we really ought to lead by examples by and has done that and the Truck Campaign can do that to remember the campaign isnt just the candidate theres a whole machinery of thousands of employees that that make that happen im sure will get emails and texts and phones filling our inbox as they always do but its the tone that matters i think thats what im saying and theres an opportunity here for trying to take leadership in the campaign to take leadership in the same way that biden has both of you dont do either you think that they polled the vote could be delayed as a result of all this. At im sorry i couldnt now you dont know it at all but. I dont see it being delayed but you know we again are predicating this on the recovery of the president never think charges forward is Something Else is in play its really hard to say in a year where every play book in politics is going out the window. Were looking at a new chapter being and we dont know what the last paragraph in that chapter is going to read adam government thank you very much indeed and also has on thank you both f. A joining us on today appreciate your time thank you my pleasure thank you chris. I was really protesters have defied the coronavirus restrictions to rally against the Prime Minister for the 15th straight week thousands of people staged protests in hundreds of places against Benjamin Netanyahu as you know hose handling of the pandemic and corruption charges which he denies and they want him to step down while hes on trial on wednesday israel banned outdoor gatherings of more than 20 people as part of bring huge knocked down measures by force it is in west jerusalem he says small crowds of protesters have gathered outside netanya his house. Tens of thousands of people hundreds at least small protests across the country the organizers of one of the main organizers of these long running on scene as you know demonstrations theyre calling this a kilometer it is this weekends protests because people are being told they cant protest. At a distance of more than a kilometer from their front door in groups of more than 20 and so that we have these decentralized processes across the country outside netanyahu is house here in west jerusalem they are much lower number than they appear to be just be relatively separate there is a much larger gathering intel of the. Happiness. There is in roads and now its still going on there are some minor arrests impostor soon the dozens of wine in the mall but unless people are out of streets again and its not you know its a minister in israel i possibly small say that it is a consideration that people shouldnt be gathering during a lockdown during a very much out of control pandemic here in israel and sums of the spiking numbers then he was wrong. Brazil has the 2nd highest number of covert related deaths in the world fast approaching 150000 despite rising infection rates Rio De Janeiros mare is easing restrictions by opening cinemas theaters and schools but as monica yant here for reports many people have been ignoring the regulations anyway. That would have meant bell and her son are going to the movies for the 1st time in almost 7 months with an added bonus the new safety rules allow them to take off their masks to eat popcorn and curling for the moment but we came because its extremely hot outside and this is the 1st day cinemas and thirtys have opened so theyre still empty im not sure its a good idea to be in a closed space but for now it seems safer than the beach in fact they are the only ones here a sharp contrast to the world outside taking a dip in the water and exercising outdoors are allowed crowds of people without masks are not sunbathing is still forbidding but this is one more rule that people have decided to ignore as spring temperatures have risen to a record 40 degrees celsius and brazils Unemployment Rate has reached 14 percent beach vendors have decided to defy rios mayor theyre renting chairs and parasols risking a 200. 00 fines. While working illegally all of us here but if we dont do this we cant pay the rent or buy food weve stayed away from the beach for 6 months and cant continue to survive on government handouts which have just been reduced to half. The relaxed atmosphere on ipanema speech does not reflect the stark reality brazil is the worlds 2nd largest covert 1000 hot spot in terms of fatalities more than 145000 people died and almost 5000000 have been infected that bell silva says he is aware that brazil may witness a 2nd wave before the 1st one is over but hes willing to take the risk.
