Well in a year of dramatic events in a presidency of dramatic events who would have thought of this is a plot twist just a month before the election yes the president is in the building behind me thats the residency here at the white house there are a number of rooms there and he is self isolating hes going to take part in normal business as normal on the foreign and fight made who is the chief of staff or you have from recently well he said that hes at least 6 things from the president to do today as you would expect and as you say the innocent from the Trump Campaign saying that theyre going to respond all events involving the president for the foreseeable future or move them virtually clearly this is a sort of disease that can take its toll on people and they cant make fun plans at this stage we got the end i spent just after 1 am on friday morning it was a bit of a surprise but it is certainly through in this white house into a bit of chaos as my colleague and our White House Correspondent kimberly no reports the shocking news came in a late night tweet from the white house President Donald Trump wrote tonight the 1st lady and i tested positive for coded 19 we will begin our quarantine and Recovery Process immediately we will get through this together its not known how despite elaborate precautions and constant coronavirus testing of white house officials the press corps and others in contact with trump how he contracted the virus but earlier one of trumps aides hope pics was confirmed to have tested positive. Hicks a Company Trump to the debate in Cleveland Ohio on tuesday trump phoned into a Fox Television program on thursday and talked about hicks having been exposed its a tough kind of a situation its a Terrible Bank so i just went for it and well see what happens i mean who knows the white house physician sean conley said trump and the 1st lady are both well at this time that the White House Medical Team will maintain a vigilant watch malani a trump later tweeted we are feeling good trump has several risk factors the put him in danger of complications from covert 19 hes in his mid seventys and overweight. We have to wait for the next few days. You know for some people get really sick within hours but you know some people dont get sick until week after and so we have to really be carefully observing the situation travis declined to wear a mask on many occasions looting at rallies where many of his supporters also scorned wearing a mask his entourage including family members went without masks at the tuesday debate trump even ridiculed democratic candidate joe biden for wearing a mask as recommended by virtually all Public Health experts i dont wear masks like him every time you see hes got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from it he shows up with the biggest mask ive ever seen if trump became seriously ill and was unable to carry out his duties the constitution provides for Vice President mike pence to take over temporarily pence said he is praying for trumps recovery and on friday tested negative for covert nighty there can be no spin you can be you know harbor ups there has to be clear understanding of what is going on with this persons president United States because otherwise hes not a passage to take care of the business he will have to be by the 25th amendment transition has to occur. But a glaring question now is how the news will affect trumps Reelection Campaign hes already trailing nationally in certain key swing states it would seem the truck can ill afford to stay out of commission for a quarantine period of 2 weeks trump joins other World Leaders including brazils president and the u. K. Prime minister who have also contracted the virus worldwide the death toll from covert 19 has exceeded 1000000 can really help it aljazeera the white house. And what about that question the Election Campaign is just over a month away its incredibly close to a certain amount of drama to say the least into into proceedings what all the implications no. Well certainly joe biden can continue to campaign he has of the test in the last few hours that was negative were told from the Biden Campaign that they went and formed by the white house and the donald trump had tested positive they only discovered it when the for head bit like everyone else on the t. V. Just after 1 am in the morning joe biden has put out a statement saying that he hopes the president and the 1st lady recover and he will hold them in his prayers certainly dont trump wont be able to campaign he likes going out on a boat he feeds off the energy of the crowd any time hes been holding a rally you see the people behind them all waiting must still isnt the whole do intend to do that because they dont quite accept the Science Behind masks and that what makes this a difficult position for donald trump hes ridiculed those that were masks he has talked about joe biden being 200 yards away but the Biden Campaign has put in the socially distance protocols which have allowed to joe biden to go out to meet people and also they moved a lot of the Campaign Online so theyve had on growing online fundraisers and rallies and town halls thats not something that the republicans have done much of and they now have to pivot to that particularly in the last and the next 2 weeks while donald trump is self isolating it will be hard for him to regain some of the ground because if you look at the opinion polls hes 8 percent behind nationally but what hes so much about the National Polls look at the big the key swing states and hes also behind there hes also concerned about places like georgia and texas normally staunch republican seats. Staunch republican states rather and he was planning to go to texas next week thats all up in the air he wont be doing that no thats been postponed until the foreseeable future because hes cold and hes no self isolating in that building behind me. And thanks a lot of fish there at the white house. While House Speaker nancy pelosi said shes waiting for test results after being tested in hopes the president s illness brings about a change in policy towards the disease this is tragic its very sad but it also is something that. Is going into crowds unmasked and all the rest this is sort of a brazen invitation for Something Like this to happen its sad that it did but nonetheless hopeful that it will be a transition to a saner approach to what this virus is all about well lets take this on we can speak to liz mair whos a republican strategist and in connecticut liz welcome to the program. Of course has been a pretty defined to say the least in the face of medical advice and his approach towards mosques and so on hes now tested positive as we all know what are your thoughts about where were at. Yeah i mean this is very worrisome and very problematic at the end of the day donald trump has a number of other Health Conditions that put him in a prime demographic for getting a really bad case of this and being really adversely affected by it we know that it hits older men hard we know that people who have other preexisting conditions as he does tend to get harder hit harder by it and so this is very worrying whether one likes donald trump or not we want somebody who is in the presidency and he was serving as commander in chief who is able to do that job and we dont know if thats going to be the case as it stands given some of what weve seen with this illness the good news is yes mike pence has tested negative hopefully he will continue to do so i think mike pence has exercised more precautions with regard to things like masks and p. T. Than donald trump has and so hopefully we have a safe pair of hands there regardless of what happens to donald trump and a 1st lady you know if theyre not down for several weeks with a really bad illness but it is definitely worrying. Absolutely and look weve got just over a month to go less than november 3rd its no time at all 4 weeks before the election. How troubling is it to you as a republican that your president has not tested positive and its just thrown his campaign into disarray. Well i mean from my perspective im not voting for donald trump anyway ive always been an opponent of his from within the party but i think if im assuming to have somebody whos working on his campaign and trying to get him reelected you know its very troubling because ultimately a lot of the way that he does gin up his base to turn out is by doing things like these rallies hes clearly not going to be able to do that one way or another at this point it also is going to interfere with what hes trying to do from a fundraising standpoint and joe biden has been raising massive amounts of money and so thats got to be very concerning if you are a trump supportive group public and heading into these final weeks you know you also may not end up having the benefit of the debates or having debates in a timely fashion because ultimately the next one is to occur within what would be a 14 day quarantine period so you know the whole thing really does throw everything right off the rails and im not sure anybody can do a project whats going to happen from here is a lot of speculation i know and im going to speculate on Something Else what do you think these events will do for those undecided voters who you know wavering one way or the other and then suddenly they see the president United States after all that everything that hes been coming out with during this demick suddenly coming down with the virus itself. Well i mean 1st of all i think there are very few actual undecided voters at this point there are people who are trying to decide whether they vote and if so for him i dont think that there are many people who are trying to decide between trump and biden i think there may be some other people who are trying to also decide between one of those 2 you know and a 3rd Party Candidate but i just dont think theres a lot of competition between trump and biden right now i dont think that kind of undecided voter truly exists but you know for this small number of down and out there are i suspect what this is going to do is going to remind people that donald trump literally right now is probably about to be incapable of doing the job of being a president right if he gets even a little bit sick from this thats going to interfere with his ability to execute the job and its going to show that he really has failed with regard to his handling of this entire crisis in this entire pandemic so i think that this is not going to be good for him where the swing voters do actually exist the flip side of that though is you know i heard nancy pelosi is remarks and i think that she has been relatively restrained and done a decent job of staying on message i do think theres a very good chance that some elected democrat comes out and starts basically doing a factory lap about this search hearing the fact that the president has got something that could potentially kill him and that are going to be really bad you know that could jennifer a lot of sympathy for donald trump where currently he does not have any and it could cause people to view this differently so 2 you know if i were advising the Democratic Party i would tell them to be extremely careful with what they say about this because one person goes rogue and goes off message and says something thats deeply inappropriate and offensive and that could cause some real issues for the election and how people ultimately see this is just great get your perspective do appreciate speaking to us from connecticut thank you. Want to take a closer look at the president s health the president is 74 years old considered overweight both make a. High risk for coronavirus questions were raised about his condition in june when he appeared to have difficulty Drinking Water and coming down from the stage at an event but he dismissed concerns about his health and november last year trump made an unscheduled visit to the doctor for tests something that is usually noted in his public diary the white house said that he was in good health and during his campaign in 2016 trumper produced a note saying that he would be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency adultery later said that trump had written the letter himself lets speak now to dr priya. Whos an Infectious Disease expert with the mayo clinic and she joins us live from rochester in minnesota dr welcome to the program. As the previous guest just discussed the president is in the prime demographic to get this badly at the moment he is apparently displaying mild symptoms could he from what we know of people developing from the disease once they get it could he get a lot worse yes so most people actually do have very mild symptoms initially 5 to 7 days into the illnesses when theyre highest for them deteriorating rapidly so. Having mild symptoms now doesnt mean that things couldnt change in the future so its something that needs be watched very carefully the president of course hes advised by a medical physician physician is in the end who is not an epidemiologist does that matter. So when youre looking at an individual patient being in a big immediately just no longer matters but you need is someone who is trained to recognize early signs of deterioration and act to prevent anything and prevent him from getting worse so what he really needs is a really good clinician know now what about the process of Contact Tracing because trying to follow up with all the potential people that the president came into contact with over the last few days while he was infectious is a huge job just tell us a little bit about that. So typically when we do Contact Tracing in a in a medical setting if you try to find everybody that the index case has been in close contact quit warned them that they might have been exposed to cope it and therefore that they should avoid contact with a large number of other people and ideally they should you know quarantine themselves focal team days from that date of the contact. Now when you have a massive bents like this its really hard to contact each individual that might have been in contact with a very public figure and what is likely to happen is that media reports will be used to tell people anyone who attended news events should take precautions to prevent secondary transmission in the event that one of them but wont become infected with corba and was therefore a dangerous move for the president to continue with his schedule and go on to bed and. Once he knew that his close aide who picks had already tested positive. So ideally when one of your contacts has tested positive then the 1st thing that should happen is that you should put yourself into what is 12 quarantines so 14 days from that day to blast exposure you could potentially get corona virus infection and so thats what we call quarantine preventives isolation to prevent transmission to other things once you of that that is what should a bite really happen once you yourself are infected band you go into whats called isolation and thats actually a shorter period ending of how you doing it could be anywhere from and it could be as a little as 10 days and it could go up to 10. 00 to 20. 00 days that you are in such as to others and need to to be isolated. Preassembled can we do appreciate your expertise on this being very helpful thanks very much indeed thank you well donald trump is not the 1st world leader to contract the virus brazils president john polson are tested positive back in july and british Prime Minister Boris Johnson was moved to an intensive care unit in april after contract yet hes tweeted to wish trump and his wife a speedy recovery is not in baba reports now from london. I think we all want to send our best wishes to the president and the 1st lady and ive done that this morning as you can imagine and im sure that theyll both stage a very strong recovery british Prime Minister Boris Johnson was one of the 1st World Leaders to send a message of support on friday one that was informed no doubt by personal experience earlier this year i was at a hospital the other night where i think there are a few there are actually if you create a virus of patients like shook hands with everybody that admission in march attracted criticism for sending a dangerous message just weeks later soon after imposing a National Lockdown the Prime Minister announced he tested positive for covered 19 it would be isolating i developed my old symptoms the coronavirus. He carried on working appearing outside 10 downing street for the weekly applause for Health Workers and looking on well he extended his self isolation then 9 days after testing positive he was admitted to this London Hospital his colleagues insisting he was in good spirits and leading the government but 24 hours later the shock news was hed been taken into an intensive care units he spent 3 nights there he was never on a ventilator but after ending his stay in hospital he said medical staff had saved his life after returning to work johnson whos 56 said hed been way overweight before contracting the virus he started a personal fitness regime and a National Anti obesity initiative. His reaction stands in sharp contrast to another leader who contract coronavirus brazilian president. From the start of the pandemic the 65 year old consistently downplayed how dangerous the virus was covered for i think what i mean are the this is him in march around the same time Boris Johnson was testing positive saying if he were infected it wouldnt bother him as it would only feel like a slight cold in july he did test positive but even after getting the all clear weeks later he continued to show disdain for mask wearing and social distancing. This week Boris Johnson was asked directly whether hed fully recovered his idiomatic response suggested he felt better than ever im fitter than i was before i may it may it may irritate you to know i have to do that to the butchers dog. Thanks basically to losing weight but he also accepted that socalled long covert which has left thousands of people in the u. K. With Serious Problems months after contracting the virus clearly exists a reminder that truly recovering can never be taken for granted. Aljazeera well the World Health Organization is chief says he wishes both the u. S. President and the 1st lady a speedy recovery overnight we heard the president of the United States of america. And 1st lady. Tested positive for coffee at 19 i want to start today by wishing them was a full and swift recovery our prayers are with them. Now media says it is ready to work with mediators to reestablish a cease fire and are going to care about fighting between armenia and Azerbaijan Forces over the disputed region have entered the 6th day leaving dozens of troops dead but smith is in the going to karabakh where he visited towns and villages in the firing line of his hearing forces. Its the safest place in town but everyone here is scared for 5 days the women and children of matteucci have been hiding in the towns bomb shelters well that is going to. Say ive been here 6 days how should we feel my sons are on the frontline sometimes we managed to talk to them were waiting for peace and for a victory and for our sons to return. Throughout the night or when the air raid siren goes off this is where people run for cover. Aboveground martinis largely abandoned the 1st mortars hit on sunday thats when fighting flared again between azerbaijan and the selfgoverning armenian enclave of nagornokarabakh is the most serious confrontation since a ceasefire ended a war in 1904 that killed nearly 30000 military personnel. These rockets landed just short of march to these art school and you can see the extent of the devastation there this is right in the center. In this town not far from the front line between azerbaijan and armenia has been hit regularly since sunday by as air force. What i like the followers are of the well im lucky my head didnt blow off russ make background tells us. Will hit him and shattered his shop and home as he sat down for lunch ross make is a veteran of the 1st war here which broke out when armenian majority karabakh broke away from azerbaijan during the breakup of the soviet union. Your bottom line we survived somehow we found some bread its enough what are we going to do im staying because everything i own is in the house and i want to look after it all. Towns and villages all along the border with azerbaijan there in the firing line no one was home when this cluster of 4 homes was blown apart. Myrtle knows that this is our village our home or should i go my children ask me why are you walking out in the village i say if i hear the sound of the bomb its best if it hits me i wont even know it why should i be frightened and over this turkish animal. The leaders of armenia and azerbaijan say theres no we mediate likelihood of talks so theyll be more of this. And for those waiting for news of their sons and husbands plenty to worry about. But its made out to 0 in nagornokarabakh.

At the 1st real moment his forces are in a battle over a disputed region azerbaijans presence in how mali ever put the blame squarely on our minya the main reason is that i mean your doesnt want peace they want to keep our lands on the corporation for ever they dont want to change the status quo and this is a reason why i lasted so long because otherwise if i mean it demonstrated with a real the conflict wouldve been resolved many years ago. The battle is not only in the field but its also being felt in the media and elsewhere both iranian as our bridge accuse each other of hiring foreign mercenaries to fight in a car. But the president denied any foreign involvement and that turkey shot down an armenian fighter jet this is fake news absolutely this a fake news as a says a turkish 16 shot down 25 to 25 had an accident but they say they have evidence to present where is evidence i think armenians control car of all but many in Prime Minister in the quote by shinya has now gone further and said. Its part of armenian soil while president accused their mania of causing this latest round of fighting. You really look at what our media did after the socalled revolution. During the last 2 years and was a clear we will see that they were. Always provoking us and they were aiming at starting a new war as a reason to disrupt negotiations completely the conflict between us our bridge on and armenia doesnt seem to be ending anytime soon both sides have preconditions on any possible negotiations the dynamics of their internal politics are also of a concern.

Democrat House Speaker nancy pelosi said the plans for continuing government are in place and that its tragic trumps habit of going into crowds without a mask was a phrase an invitation for something to happen. Now people in india are defying a protest ban in the state of her pradesh following the recent gang rape and death of 2 women from the marginalised elec community the cases have reignited a National Debate on Sexual Violence and a discriminatory cost system restart 100. 00 reports its also turned into a week of political attacks between the government and the opposition. And emergency lockdown and a ban on protests hasnt stopped people from gathering at this village.

While the suspects from an opera Cost Community are in custody the police chief on thursday ruled out rape allegations in the case of the 1st victim just. It was clearly stated in the report of the Forensic Science department that the samples that were collected didnt show any trace of sperm this makes it clear that some people used this case to try to stir cast tensions and the state was a claim refuted by Forensic Experts in the victims families who accuse the police of destroying evidence and cremating the body of 19 year old victim without her familys permission. Facing heavy criticism the government has promised to fast track the cases its human rights activists and the opposition blame it for allowing police to use Excessive Force against protesters including the detention of Congress Party leader raul gandhi and his sister on thursday. Culpability is also completely asserted me its not in the Public Domain if its happening its happening only in the level of the department and that doesnt build public trust it would build public trust of the Police Reported to the public this is why we have to take the action that we take.

The french president has called it radical islam the biggest threat to French Society during a trip to paris he also claimed that islam was in crisis around the world by chronos outline proposals for a new anti separatism law aimed at improving integration and combating religious divisions in the country but the reports now from lim youre. The french president arrived in the paris suburb of liminal whore to deliver a speech on separatism emmanuel mackerel said there was no place in French Society for divisions are along religious lines the biggest threat to frances values and secular law he said was radical islam to. What we must fight is islam is separatism its a conscious theoretical social political project its repeatedly it all is with the values of the republic and often leads to the creation of a counter society. Mike ross said that islam around the world faced problems he said he wasnt stigmatizing muslims but some disagreed on some people tell me here is that rather than focusing on socalled separatism and not all michael would do better to work more on reducing unemployment and the aging poverty reality the plan post people on the margins of society did this to you. Its a subject that hides a real mystery its like leader creating the facade of a building might not be in sight yes that is climb but creates it its a lack of projects or jobs for young people local association have no money my not a bit or not helped enough and some neighborhoods are just ignored neighborhoods like this one at a Charity Food Bank it survival not separatism thats on peoples minds. And the separatism religious divisions but for some the proposed legislation is more likely to reinforce them like ross speech comes one week after an attack in paris outside the offices of the shoddy news. Paper 4 years ago 2 Police Officers from the new hole were killed by a man who claimed allegiance to i saw the new anti separatism law aims to raise religious divisions but for some the proposed legislation is more likely to reinforce them. Aljazeera. From. Lets take this on we can speak totems her researches religious freedom human rights and Civil Liberties in france among other countries joins us now from toulouse via skype and sarah welcome to the program so the president saying that its a religion in crisis all over the world do you agree. I think its a very insensitive comment from the french president we dont have separation of church and state in france and. The station not interfere in religious affairs and vice versa so if there is a problem with islam its up to most times to identify it and to tackle the issue certainly not to the french president. One might see how his words would key in to many people in france because it is a secularism is a particularly sensitive issue in the country strongly attached to sectors. Well its a very interesting its a very interesting question indeed a secretary ism separation of church and state and nicety are extremely important in france however it has been a couple of years now that lighted it has been weaponized the present one is simple religious neutrality applies to the state and not upon the people and it protects religious Freedom Freedom to believe to not believe to change religion and the states must remain neutral but it has been a couple of years since we are having that sure many related by politicians and pundits to basically transform it into a legal tool to target muslims and this is dangerous and this is certainly not place to do so we need to be careful sure what is your understanding of his phrase islam is separatism. My problem is what do we mean by separatism and its very interesting because when a man at a macro started to talk about that potential he was targeting separatism is cruel. Not just focusing on a muslim but really on we need just extremism including. Other type of extremism like White Supremacy except that today not a single word from the president on the dangers of White Supremacy i remind you that the concept of great replacement that has been used by the by the terrorist in christchurch came from france not a single word on that so yes do we need to tackle religious extremism absolutely are there each of inference certainly indeed that he had some good proposal especially for example regarding the training of him arms and yes friends should not be imported from abroad are a man should be trained in france however putting aside light the vagueness of the thames separatism opened the door to vilification and normalizing anti missin bigot which is today of a case so my question is who what that we talking when we talk about separatism and one more thing we were talking about these neighborhoods in france well the 1st separatism is when we dismantle Public Services in those areas when we do have people in france that we dont consider fully part of this country because of their religion so maybe the 1st thing when it comes to separatism is to stop talking about muslims as if they were a foreign element in the country were french were going to have to leave it there we do appreciate your perspective on this thanks very much indeed for joining us here in our desire room so away thank you thanks for having me.

All right were going to move on to the sport now and people standing by thank you very much will start with some big news in formula one the engine supplier honda has announced it will leave the sport at the end of the 2021 season the Japanese Company says this is not due to the pandemic but because it wants to focus its resources on new 0 emissions taken ology says the car industry moves away from internal Combustion Engines it means that the red bull and tory f one teams now need to find a new engine supplier earlier we spoke to formula one analyst and broadcaster Mark Gallagher who says 100 pulling out is a major blow. The sport has only just gone through a big renegotiation of its commercial deals with the team and the sports rights holder and so really going back 6 weeks ago everyone felt we were entering a new period of stability and then to have one of the 4 major Car Manufacturers pull out is only expected and particularly given that honda have been achieving race winning success with both their teams this year Red Bull Racing and the sister team of alpha tory so heres a Successful Program effectively being cancelled mid flow and at relatively short notice because end of 2021 is only just over a year away the news at home they are going to focus on battery and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology is not really unexpected the whole of the Automotive Industry is moving in that direction and i think the problem for formula one really is that because we are currently wedded to internal Combustion Engines albeit a hybrid internal Combustion Engine and electric power train clearly for home the technology isnt interesting enough to keep their to keep their focus and that decided to move on and so the question now arises what happens to the other Car Manufacturers in formula one but on the face of it receive these bans are very committed to the sport ferrari are part and parcel of formula one and renato has just recommitted to formula one by signing the new commercial agreements back in august so i think this boards ok in terms of the remaining 3 manufacturers but theres no doubt that home has decision is a blow for formula one and specifically a blow for Red Bull Racing and their sister team alpha tori because in the case of red bull theyre a team in title contention most years even the receive these are dominant dominant in formula one red bull are the team most likely to win races if hamilton and Valtteri Bottas have any issues or if theres a truck to protect the suits a rental car and without homes or power behind them the question is. To read will go to for their engines because its a their arch rivals are cds that they go cap in hand to origin ferrari who dont have a competitive power moment already know with whom they had a pretty public falling out not too long ago so its probably a difficult moment for red bull but im sure theyve got their Financial Resources and under strategy to cope with this turn of events to football and ac milan have qualified for the Europa League after an extraordinary match against the rio ave in portugal it looked like the portuguese were heading for a famous winner after taking the lead in extra time when.
