An exact picture of Donald Trumps health remains unclear after a night of conflicting messages from the u. S. The white house chief of staff is spoken of a crucial 40. Hours ahead in the video the president said hes feeling good and the next few days will be a test the 74 year old remains in a Military Hospital in maryland 3 days after announcing it tested positive for covert 19 well mike hanna is at the hospital in maryland were going to be speaking to him in a moment but 1st alan fischer reports on the confusing picture about toms health from inside Walter Reed Hospital a message from the president i came here wasnt feeling so well i feel much better now working hard to get me all the way back i have to be back because we still have to make America Great again weve done an awfully good job of that a new recruits from donald trump who was rushed to hospital late on friday i just didnt want to stay in the white house i was given little to stay in the white house lucky self in dont ever leave dont even go to the Oval Office Just stay upstairs and enjoy it dont see people dont talk to people and just be done with it and i cant do that i have to be out front and this is america this is the United States. But the white house message and the president s illness has been confused and incomplete on saturday morning the doctors gave a briefing but that reese questions of when the president was actually diagnosed the president tweeted out the news on friday morning just 72 hours into the diagnosis now the 1st week of it and a particular day 7 to 10 of the most critical in determining the likely course of this illness at this time the team and i are extremely happy with the progress the president has made. Another of the consulting physicians said the experimental antibody cocktail regeneration was administered 48 hours ago some are working very closely with the company to monitor him but that would mean the president was diagnosed on wednesday before 2 big Campaign Rallies and a fundraiser i would suggest regeneration was given 24 hours earlier than the white house says it was. The 1st full of Crisis Communications one story one voice the white house has failed to follow that and this caused confusion and medical experts say it doesnt help that the briefing left a number of questions unanswered for example we were not told what type of feeder the president had how high did it go we were not told with any clear whether or not he in fact was or was not the recipient of supplemental oxygen ha then adding to the confusion the president s chief of staff mark meadows who told reporters trumps vital signs in the past 24 hours have been disturbing and the next 48 hours of treatment are critical. All that has meant little to the hundreds of supporters who gathered outside the hospital to support for the president but the crucial period is still to come for corporate patients 5 to 10 days in is critical but know the president is in the best place for treatment even if he insists hes ready to head back to the white house alan fischer aljazeera at the Walter Reed Hospital but the middle and i was going to mike hanna who is outside the hospital President Trump is being treated 1st of all mike is there any change in the president s condition. Well as yet we have not received any official information from the doctors treating President Trump here we are expecting in the course of the morning Effect Tomorrow is that today is the same as very changeable yesterday we are expecting some further update in terms of his treatment what we do know because this has been mentioned by the doctor is that he is on a course of 3 and disappear this is a daily dose of this particular drug which is designed basically to increase the speed of recovery its not a curative drug it anymore anyway its clearly a therapeutic one and its supposed to increase the speed of recovery from roughly 14 days to 11 thats according to previous tests but as you mentioned there the confusion as to the president s exact condition on the one hand you have his personal physician giving a rather rosy prognosis and then you have the chief of staff talking about Vital Statistics being disturbing the one point of agreement it would agree at this stage both from President Trump himself as we heard last night and from his chief of staff is that the next 2 days are absolutely critical now compounding the whole confusion about this is there is a lack of clarity from the white house about whether they are talking about president trying to being diagnosed theyve now attempted to say that he was diagnosed on thursday they will not say and will not mention when he 1st tested positive now this is a critical issue because it will show how long hes been infected for and give some indication as to how long it is going to last there is a noise behind me here this is a busy street as you can hear but basically we are hoping to hear in the course of the morning some kind of update in the meantime mike it looks more likely that the Supreme Court nomination ceremony the habit of few days ago in the rose garden of the white house was at least one of the socalled super spreader events and the important thing is of course for people to try to trace who was at these events and see if they are positive or negative whos doing that Contact Tracing because were talking about trying to cover an awful lot of people. Well this is a very controversial point at the moment the whole issue of Contact Tracing the white house of the doctors physician has said that tracing will be conducted or a directed by the white house however this will be done in conjunction with the centers for Disease Control says the white house doctor this being said various reports indicate that very few of those who were present at that rose garden ceremony week ago had been contacted by any traces weve heard reports from minnesota where the president traveled to 2 separate venues that nobody has contacted minnesota dorothys in terms of following up Contact Tracing weve heard from new jersey where the president visited his golf Club Thursday there has been no follow up in terms of somebody attempting to contact those who were present at that golf club for a Campaign Gathering for a fundraising event so at this stage nobodys quite sure whos actually doing Contract Tracing because this is a crucial issue we do know that in the states in new jersey the debt at Contact Tracing procedure is under way but it is not centralized white house says that it is directing it supervising it but at this particular stage every indication is that it is not. Mike thanks very much indeed thats mike hanna outside the hospital with the president being treated in maryland where the majority of americans think the president could have avoided getting sick even taken the virus more seriously a Reuters Ipsos poll suggests that 65 percent of those voters those hasta hold that opinion and that includes many in his own Party Republicans questioned agreed with that but only about a 3rd of those surveyed thought trump has been telling the truth about covert 19 the president has repeatedly dismissed the seriousness of the pandemic just last week he made fun of his democratic president ial challenger joe biden for wearing a mask well eric hammes a political analyst and author of the g. O. P. Civil war inside the battle for the soul of the Republican Party hes joining us on skype from washington d. C. Thanks very much for joining us again on aljazeera lets talk about what a lot of people were talking about when this initially happened the sympathy vote a lot of people were suggesting that that this may affect the outcome of the election it may sway some voters what do you think. This is a question that i received from one of the host at aljazeera when we initially found out the president at contract at the virus and i just dont think there is a groundswell of sim that the that will turn this election in the president s favor one reason for that is the president for months now has downplayed this virus in addition to that we have seen how callous the president has been toward many who have contract and died from this virus particularly those who have been hardest hit in blue states the president has continuously said that if you take out those in blue states we would be doing much much better as if to suggest that those people that have died of those people in blue states such as california new york who have contract the virus are not or do not merit the attention of the federal government so again we have seen the president continue to act in a blatant disregard towards the virus and now that it has actually come to the president s doorstep many believe that this could be a way to shake the white house to shake this administration to finally act to try to aggressively combat the virus going by the poll results that i was talking about before although of course we dont know how many people were actually questioned within the poll but nevertheless they do so show a degree of trend that of if nothing else an uncertainty about the way the president has been handling this with the result that he has covert 19 given the strength of the statements that he has made up to this point about covert 1900 does donald trump walk back from that ahead of the election enough to be able to convince anybody that he would say enough that they would actually have an impact on the voting. This is been a signature problem that has dogged the president since the virus exploded President Donald Trump has always been a master at shaping the narrative to fit his agenda and now that that we see so many millions of americans have been tracking the virus so many thousands have died from the virus and now the president who has said that this is a virus it was a hoax it is going away the United States is turning the corner now that he himself has contracted the virus as long as as as well as with any of his key supporters governor Chris ChristieKellyanne Conway and others that changes or that actually they make it difficult for the president continue to push this narrative that the virus is of no consequence and that its going away and now the president has less than 30 days to be able to can to continue to promote this narrative and thats going to be difficult to do from my hospital room in Walter Reed Medical Center ok let me ask you on the point in terms of how the republicans in particular the term the Time Campaign handled the campaign from this point obviously the last major event was the face off with joe biden thats the thing thats been everybodys mind thats the way that at the moment theyre remembering how the debate has gone how the campaigns have gone what happens now with the campaigning and is there a way that the Time Campaign actually can turn this to some sort of advantage. Well because the president is now infirm because we know that even if the president gets better hes still going to be off the trail for at least 14 days and doctors have already said its 7. 10 days are perhaps the most crucial so clearly the president is not out of the woods yet but remember americans by the millions are star voting now theres early voting taking place so in effect this race will be over by november 3rd and what we are saying is that the president the last memories that Many Americans will have of the president is that debate performance which many believe was perhaps the most abysmal debate the country has ever seen and that will be the final take away the final selling point of president down trump which is not a good look given that the president is down by as many as 10 points nationally and by all accounts is losing an overwhelming majority of the key battleground states that he needs in order to secure reelection as always its really good to get your thoughts in this area come we appreciate your joining us and aljazeera thank you thank you with something hospital the u. S. Secretary of state is cutting short his trip to asia from players having meetings in japan but he wont fly on to mongolia and south korea said he had no plans to counsel his trip when news of thompson faction was announced.

Kind in sports the 100 and 45th preakness stakes and is in a photo finish bar is here with that story. Azerbaijan and armenia are accusing each other of targeting civilians in the conflict over the disputed region of not going to cut a black these pictures were released a few hours ago said to be the city of state pollak out our reporter says there have been regular explosions as a by john meanwhile says its 2nd biggest city has been targeted. Well assuming cost you all is in that city gun joe were going to be speaking in just a few minutes 1st lets go to charles stratfords who is in gore is in but just talk to us about what has been happening over the last few hours. Brought this this is been a very difficult this is been a very difficult day for the people all of us to panic the main town in the corner we were there earlier on the were now 2 hours away but when we were there Early Morning a sustained. Of coming into the city clearly where there are plenty of civilians still living people have left the city women and children but there are still many civilians many civilians. Way air raid sirens wailing throughout the day what seems to be happening is that the as Area Military is targeting the infrastructure instead panic as in other parts of cairo back there was an electricity substation tribulation center not far from we it was staying that was and it seems have been a target earlier in the day they missed it and then hit it one way or the when we were very nearby just about lunchtime today it means to panic is now without electricity now the weather is getting colder and of course dark nights People Living in bunkers a very very difficult condition as well but now were having a little bit of break up on the line that were getting from you which is perhaps not surprising but in terms of the city itself its the 2nd biggest city in a growing ocado back was there any warning given to the civilians and how much danger are these still in. Yet i should say theres a big thunderstorm going on at the moment up which may be affecting our signal but no the warnings that is from air raid sirens in those areas sirens we hear that gives you no sign it. About to get down to a bunker and then the missile come in so theres not an awful lot of notice but enough it seems to seek cover but its very frightening for the people in that city now is the biggest bar sustained. Since the war d ended there in 994 so people really shocked by what spinning and witnessing and as i say Weapons Technology has changed considerably in the more than 20 days since our. Last fought and azerbaijan now has turkey shell and it seems to have precision missiles and drones that are being very effective at targeting locations in the corner both brian and thanks very much indeed thats a burden smith talking to us from on media lets cross to sin and cos you know who who is in azerbaijan cinema give us an indication of what the israelis are saying about all of this. Well rob was there is are saying that they are defending their own territory especially while they are being attacked from in their own territory from their own territory this is what the allies are officials have been saying on camera and plus on the news outlets that we are reading this and they are accusing our mania for expansionist policies mainly actually most of the overshoes accuse the Prime Minister nicole position young is saying they say that nicole pushing the un has an expansionist policy and it was actually declared in new york a couple of months ago by their one of their ministers so according to the un resubmission as our vision say is that in international the binding Un Resolution says its not going to cut about is an azerbaijan territory occupied by Armenian Forces and Armenian Forces must unconditionally with throw from nagornokarabakh and other occupied territories this is according to the un and based on this the officers tell us that we wont come to come to enter negotiations with their many inside until they withdraw from all those occupied territories to their legal. In their legal legally respective areas then we can talk this is what officials have been saying they emphasize that they have no problem with the they are many in public they say they are not hitting civilian targets but apparently when there is a war especially Something Like the nagornokarabakh conflict that has been ongoing for 3 decades the civilians are intentionally or unintentiona
