Military official is tested positive and several others are now in quarantine among them general mark milley he is the countrys senior most military official the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff which is a body consisting of the top commanders from each of the Armed Services many of whom are also in quarantine theyre all fearing possible infection from this man admiral Charles Wright the deputy head of the coast guard who tested positive himself on monday youre my memory members one months ago there was a covert 19 outbreak among u. S. Military personnel roughly a 1000 sailors testing positive on board a navy ship the commander of the ship pleaded for her. He was instead fired for disregarding the chain of command so lets check in with mike hanna in washington about 7 in the evening there on the u. S. East coast i might start with some developing news 1st of all not just at the pentagon but once again in the inner circle of donald trump at the white house. Very much in the inner circle reports indicate that Steven Miller who is a very close adviser of the president has now tests to a positive for the coronavirus miller has been in close proximity of the president for a long period of time he was also in close proximity to some of the other assistance to the president to have tested positive in recent days and certainly that list is growing and growing indeed kemal a large number of members of the president s staff now have tested positive a number of journalists who work there and as well as a number of military aides it is said who are also working at the white house one military aide in particular is the person who shares the responsibility for carrying those Nuclear Codes of what is called the football so once again you appear to be widening arts the effect of the infection from within the white house president as we saw 24 hours ago takes over his mask when he walks in year so lets build on that then might so much sort of denial going on misinformation some people would call it what are the experts saying the actual medical experts who weve become so used to hearing from in the last 6 months. Let me just pick up on that thing you said about dissin from ation twitter put up a Health Warning on one of president trumps tweets today in which he said that the flu is more fatal than co but now this is absolute nonsense and what is disturbing is that the president does know that because back in february the president told Journalist Bob Woodward that he was aware that the virus is 10 times as fatal as flu now the president is tweeting out to the public saying that flu is far more fatal than the corona virus incidentally also lying about figures off infections from flu or fatalities he says that on average more than 100000 people die from flu each year will actually last year that figure was some 20000 but you asked about what the experts say particularly about events at the white house with this absolute cascading number of infections happening which have been happening in recent days well somebody who has not been involved at all with either the president s treatment for corona virus or indeed advising the white house on terms of its Safety Measures and that person is dr anthony from the chief this is what he says about events at the white house. What went on in the white house you know i dont want to and every time i Say Something thats an issue i wind up spending a lot of time in suing phone calls and emails i should say it was not done according to what i would have recommended. Well thats about as direct as you could hear dr apology on the issue of the president whos always chosen his words very carefully about both the president and the white house but certainly it appears that dr fox he and nearing the end of his patience in that particular statement but once again it is very disturbing in a way to the American Public as well that somebody like dr chee who has been at the forefront of combating this coronavirus has not been consulted by the president for a period of time and he was not consulted while the president contracted the virus and went into hospital for the past 3 days that is something that the public as a whole are likely to find exceedingly disturbing mike hanna in washington d. C. With that update thank you another layer on top of this is donald trump calling off negotiations with democrats over a new coronavirus stimulus package until after the election the announcement sent u. S. Stock markets tumbling democratic president ial nominee joe bidens accuse trump of turning his back on the American People House Democrats did pass a 2. 2 trillion dollar relief bill on thursday but republicans in the senate rejected it Jason Nichols with us now democratic strategist joining us from a look at city in maryland thank you for your time jason im trying to figure out what would be the theory behind this behind saying theres a crisis but im going to ignore it until after the election what does that say to the American People. Well i think it reflects really poorly on this president he is somebody who prioritizes himself hes getting the best care government subsidized care but doesnt want to public option for the rest of us for the rest of us to get the kind of care he got and as a result 210000 people have died under his leadership you see him spreading this kind of december mation somewhere between 12 and 60000 people die from the flu but yet as i said in less than a year weve already lost 210000 people very famous and powerful people have lost friends and family members and more importantly or should say more importantly but also lots of working class people their families are struggling theyre losing family members they cant feed their families at night or during the day or at any other moment theyre having a tough time keeping a roof over their heads paying their bills and the president has bail and said were going to do this after the election you know after you know all the negotiating chips are and are in my favor because youve already won he thats not prioritizing the American People thats prioritizing his agenda is there is nothing is there anything the democrats can do in the meantime given that they only have their hands on one of the 3 levels of power is that what can i do anything themselves. No i really dont think that theres anything that they can do i think there are certain things that could be done at the state level you know all the governors that need to help you know a lot of this again is partisan and donald trump is very famous for wanting to divide our nation into red and blue its almost like he thinks of the you know of our country and in civil war terms. But i think that there are governors and county executives around the country who can start to make moves on the local level but from the federal government i really dont think that theres anything to do we dont control the Senate Mitch Mcconnell blocks everything that comes to his desk out of the house they dont want to you know the executive branch doesnt want to negotiate and so i really dont think that theres a whole lot of options left from the federal government but at the state level. States can start to do things but a lot of states are also cash strapped you know because theyve been trying to take care of their citizens up to this point tell me what you think about the impact of i mean even if we just take the last week the last week everything thats happened the impact on the campaign which only has 4 weeks to run as an from an outsider looking in you would look at this and think well none of this plays into Donald Trumps favor. But it just doesnt work like that necessarily doesnt. No it doesnt but i think his base is being rallied and theyre trying to spin this as he beat kobe but again i think that this gives democrats a strong argument because the reason donald trump beat coated is because of the fact that he got the very best care and he got it on the governments dime the rest of us paid for donald trump to recover from code but yet there are 20000000 americans who got Health Insurance under a ca aka obamacare but yet donald trump is trying to take away that health care hes trying to make it so that people who get sick dont go see physicians or dont go to a doctor because its cost prohibitive this is a real opportunity for democrats to distinguish themselves from downstream and if you look postdebate and post covert diagnosis democrats and particularly joe biden is starting to widen his gap in the polls and in and in addition probably i would argue even more importantly some of those senate races are narrowing or democrats are starting to pull away by small margins because of the president s recklessness and because i think one of the reasons hes not negotiating on august coronavirus bill relief bill is because of the fact the white house is a complete disarray they you know a lot of people are in different places theyre quire and teeming you know people are coming in to work yeah you know even the staff is affected i think the white house isnt working right now so i think thats one of the reasons hes not negotiating is because things literally arent functioning in the white house yeah theres an election to come but theres still a governing of the country to happen isnt it Jason Nichols joining us from maryland thank you so much we appreciate it thank you and you very much. Were on to other news in kyrgyzstan as a nation on edge with the resignation of the Prime Minister and widespread protests that follows sundays disputed election the early results of which have since been an old by the countrys Election Commission demonstrators have stormed government buildings in the capital bishkek accusing the government of rigging the election in its favor Charles Stratford has our report now from bishkek. Supporters of various opposition parties celebrate their storming of the Parliament Building in the cubist capital bishkek protesting parliamentary Election Results that are given progovernment parties a huge majority opposition supporters accused progovernment parties of widespread vote barring people return to the square where the night before Security Forces had used sound bombs and tear gas to clear thousands of demonstrators demanding the results be cancelled and another poll be held but the countrys president appeared on t. V. Claiming he was in control of the country and appealing for calm. Calmness in the state and stability of society im more valuable than any deputy mandate i suggested that the central Election Commission carefully investigate the violations and if necessary and now the Election Results i urge the leaders of the Political Parties to calm their supporters and move them away from their places of concentration a call on all my compatriots to keep the peace and not give in to the calls of the provocative forces. Soon after the countrys Central Election Committee declared the results no void a rerun of the poll will be held but no date has been set unity among opposition parties seen in the square the night before began to fall apart as various parties announced new allegiances. And i have mixed feelings i havent slept all night i went to the palm and building today and in my opinion this is a real revolution not only the supporters of parties who lost the election but this time everyone came together but still i am worried about the future of the parliament which is lost all legitimacy among opposition supporters announced an emergency session to be held at a Downtown Hotel groups of protesters soon gathered the session was then delayed so we were told until wednesday just in the middle of the process and we have to be a very delicate and paste. And. In ways we want to handle it and therefore potentially a lot of things may go wrong but if we keep it legal if we keep it in the toilet the judicial plane i think you know we may be on the way to kind of make our democracy healthier later it was announced the Prime Minister had resigned and a parliamentary session voted in a replacement and a new parliamentary speaker this man he saw there was chipotle if you meet certain conditions according to the constitution he could be the countrys new Prime Minister d blair even seen here being welcomed by crowds of supporters also they had freed him from jail the veteran politician had been serving an 11 and a half year term for kidnapping another momentous day in kyrgyzstan one that ended with a parliament that many described as lacking any credibility voting even as the countrys new Prime Minister a convicted criminal who only hours earlier had been broken out of jail by his supporters analysts are saying that unless serious legal and constitutional questions and aunts of fast this country risks falling into further chaos its all started aljazeera bishkek chemist and downs have a reputation for being more democratic than of the Central Asian countries but this photo on sunday was marred by accusations of vote buying. Then preliminary results showed the parties close to the progression president said on by jim because of winning almost every seat protesters say the present crisis this reminds them of what happened in 2005 and 10 civil unrest forced lead is the time to leave office and brought about a one term limit for president s current process is being closely watched by russia which has a military base in kyrgyzstan neighboring china also invested partly through its built and Road Initiative with stephen nixs the regional director for eurasia at the International Republican institute and tells us the unrest there just on it out of the blue no one should be surprised that there were demonstrations and violence postelection there was president for that in kyrgyzstan and weve always seen protests people who were against falsification and violations of the election law and this is particularly true in 20052010 when both times poorly administered elections led to transitions of power so its not surprising that this is taking place in kyrgyzstan no one seems to know the whereabouts of the president the Prime Minister has resigned the speaker of parliament has resigned so its a real question as to who is in power but decisions are going to have to be made. Certain factions in parliament are trying to meet now to try to form a transition government and there is a self appointed coronating Council Coordination council from some of the demonstrators that are here to speak for at least some of the people but its really unclear who is charge and this uncertainty makes the way forward even more question.

Hearken delta now making its way just to the west of jamaica is going to continue pushing further north west was flooding rains once again coming in across the yucatan peninsula remember gammas only just moved out of the way as such and thats feeding some very heavy rain into the back campaign some really big downpours coming through here going to see delta then make a bit of a right turn gradually push up towards louisiana and we could see some very wet and windy weather but into the week. 2 planes came from the un 15 men checked you know what tell us them there much be missing for 5 days it is possible to fully clean the premises all forensic evidence but what you then gave is evidence that you have fully cleaned some mystery wanted to give an example of it from start to speaking about the role in the books before even the saudi government give up with just that Jamal Khashoggi murder in a saudi consulate on aljazeera.
