A discharge as early as tomorrow to the white house where he can continue his treatment course. Cities under fire ill media and as a by john accuse each other of targeting civilians in the fight for going to occur. Early results in kurdistan give us stop listening parties a big lead but the election has been overshadowed by allegations of vote buying. And in sports a shock when the London Marathon if youre so sure could train for a treat in the spring. So that doctors treated us president old trunk for corona virus say he has continued to improve while spending the weekend at the Military Hospital they say his oxygen levels theyve dropped twice in recent days and hes been treated with a steroid usually reserved for patients who are critically ill despite that the doctors say he could be to. Josh as early as monday well today he feels well hes been up and around our plan for today is to have him to eat and drink. Out of bed as much as possible to be mobile and if he continues to look and feel as well as he does today our hope is that we can plan for a discharge as early as tomorrow to the white house where he can continue his treatment course well thomas physician was also pressed on conflicting assessments of the president s condition Sean Connelly says he was trying to reflect trumps upbeat attitude when refusing to shaky details on his health on saturday trump released a video saying hes feeling much better the next few days would be the real test his white house chief of staff had said that the president is not yet on a clear path to recovery and i speak now to mike hanna is outside the hospital where the president is being treated and might say some gaps have been filled in have they not least. About the how his state of health is but theres a lot of questions about the timeline. Right from the beginning of his whenever his infection was all the way up to his potential discharged from hospital lets say tomorrow. Yes indeed well the one piece of information that was confirmed today that there was not 24 hours ago was the fact that the president did have reduced levels of oxygen in his blood stream on at least 2 occasions the 1st on friday says the doctor actually caused this move to the Walter Reed Hospital where he was administered oxygen on friday and then the doctor says without giving a time he had another relapse in the course of saturday in which a nother round of oxygen was administered so certainly a little bit more detail forthcoming but another very important piece of information here is that the doctor confirmed that the president has been prescribed fix a method now this is a steroid that is normally used only for Critical Care patients when they are on a mechanical ventilator or receiving large amounts of oxygen so this is a potentially serious situation and yet on the other hand the doctors are saying that he could well return to the white house in the next 24 hours on monday i must stress though make that returning to the white house does not mean that this incident is over clearly there is a very strong medical unit at the white house and the President Trump will continue to receive treatment there throughout what would remain of the quarantine period and should be discharged most baltimore something all those people behind you there would be would be thrilled about no doubt. But indeed yes i mean this group behind kind of fluctuates in size during the course of the day its its basically a core group of 40 supporters of 40 odd who many of whom are actually staying through the might in a kind of digital but you can see at the moment its something up or celebrate 3 atmosphere with motorists hooting either in approval or disapproval as they pass by but theres just one point i want to add nick and that is the. Timeline this is a real issue because most medical experts point out that shortage of oxygen normally occurs around the 7th day of infection now the white house says the president was diagnosed in a p. C. R. Test thats invasive tests which takes a long time for the results come back on thursday night so we still got a bit of a problem with the timeline here because the white house is not saying when they suspect the president was infected they say when he was diagnosed but theres no indication yet of when he was actually infected and we know the full sobriety authors and teach and test the very quick results which the white house has been using all the time but which experts say is inaccurate 48 percent of the time and why this timeline is so important is course on the issue of Contact Tracing with whom did the president come into contact when he was actually positive and before he had been diagnosed and it also is important in terms of establishing what will be the period of his quarantine time current teen is from the date of infection as well as from the date of diagnosis so theres still many questions with regard to the timeline that. The thing is that when the president is out and when that may be be its moral later all eyes will then be on how the Election Campaign is handled and indeed what his messaging will be about cooper tonight. Well this is going to be very interesting you talking about a president who a basically dismissed the pandemic for a long period of time hes being somewhat. Problematic on the issue of mosques on one hand he says yes he supports wearing a mosque on the other hand hes actively railed against a mosque wearing we saw last tuesday him actually being very critical of joe biden for wearing what he called a very big mosque now is this going to change well we dont know well see if and when the president returns to the campaign trail what form that return will take will he be going out into real meetings again or will he attempt to pivot to a Virtual Campaign all of these questions will be answered when and if the president gets back and completely recovers from this bouts with coronavirus what just if you mention those people behind me some of them are Wearing Masks but many still a monstrous use of the supporters of the president theyve been encouraged by him largely not to wear masks and they continuing to do so despite the fact that their candidate is sitting in a hospital ward recovering from coronavirus and there you have it all right mike thanks very much indeed mike hanna reporting there from outside the hospital where the president is receiving treatment well at the briefing we heard from mental trauma doctor that Sean Connelly on how his condition has progressed over the past few days friday morning when i left the bedside the president was doing well with only mild symptoms. Was in the high ninetys. Late friday morning when i returned to the bedside president had a high fever and his oxygen oxygen saturation was transiently dipping below 94 percent given these 2 developments i was concerned for possible robert progression of the illness i recommended the president we trust him supplemental oxygen see how hed respond he was fairly adamant that he didnt need it he was not short of breath he was tired had the fever and that was about it and after about a minute on only 2 leaders he said ration levels are back over 40 over 95 percent he is the fact of the matter is that hes doing really well and he is he is responding and as a team said if everything continues to go well were going to start to discharge planning back to the white house all right lets take this on lets speak to dr mackey who let her sherry davis whos an Infectious Disease physician at Washington University school of medicine welcome to the program dr. So lots of criticism out there yesterday on sunday following sort on saturday following yesterdays briefing much for it from the medical community so what did you make of todays briefing was that more acceptable to you think todays briefing and then responds to the criticism that youre referring to because what is critical at this time is clarity and transparency around what is going on and not for the reasons of all the politics thats obviously in right but because of the many people that may have been exposed during this time right what we need to keep focused on here is most americans and especially the millions who dont have access to health care at this time are not afforded the same opportunities that are leadership have and so its critical that that might be essential staff especially who have possibly been exposed to be identifying and be attended to. The president certainly has received treatment that the order remember the public would wouldnt get a look at until unless a very seriously ill are you surprised by the some of the some of the treatments that hes been given i think its difficult to say i will say that when we 1st heard about this they werent many details being given and one of the things we positioned are adamant about is that we cannot comment without having access to all the available information and as weve all seen that have not been provided but that is appropriate right any patient you i wouldnt want our privacy to be kept intact but its clearly different for in the leader of the free world and so while i dont think that its appropriate its should be thoughtful about what is provided to you as it is also any other hand critical for there to be transparency because of everything thats at stake here right and so i will say that for the types of that types of issues around oxygen that came out today the rand disappear and that dr methadone are appropriate proponents workroom oxygen m has become an issue ok well and given that and given that there was a lack of oxygen he has been given these these drugs that usually reserved for very serious condition to patients and the fact that the doctors are saying that he could be discharged as early as monday does that surprise you do do those 2 sides mesh together. Nothing that ive been to a challenging about chronic virus for me really honestly here is that you see the run of the garrett patients who come in and you know extraordinarily well even if they did not get a. Lot of patients especially those at risk the older patients the ones who have heart or lung get the preceding their infection and that this can be a long course and certainly not one that should be rushed through because of the fact that we see things come into play from there are wrong and so what most of us have been doing in treating these patients is being as they generate as possible and using all the available data to make sure that we send people home when it is safe for them but also safe for the community that they will be in contact. Given what the president is currently going through and given his age and his physique d. How quickly could he be back at work and operating as normal again matters and not how how much how well he responds to the therapy the plan it could be a matter of again that quite honestly nice thing to go on for weeks and thats why i get my name transparently if im right and being and keeping his great in the state you dont believe that youll be in contact with waiting more important than rushing things through for the sake of. Dr. Davis we do appreciate your expertise in this thanks very much thank you thank you for having me. Well the majority of americans think the president could have avoided getting sick if youd taken the virus more seriously a Reuters Ipsos poll suggests that 65 percent hold that opinion that includes many in his own party of republicans agreed but only about a 3rd of those surveyed thought that trump has been telling the truth but because of 90 the president has repeatedly dismissed the seriousness of the pandemic and just last week made fun of his democratic president ial challenger joe biden for wearing a mask. Well larry hagman is a political analyst and author of the goal post civil war and he says it will be difficult for trump to continue the narrative that he had been pushing 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 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 well as with any of his key supporters governor Chris ChristieKellyanne Conway and others that changes or that actually makes it difficult for the president continue to push this narrative that 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 the last. Memories that Many Americans will happen to the president is that the 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 Donald 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. More still to come here on the news hour including food for thought we look at how coronavirus has impacted the distribution of aid to thousands. And giving up their American Dream hundreds of migrants stopped in guatemala decide to return home. So then russia is calling for an immediate cease fire and to go on a car back and says its ready to help find a solution to the conflict but on the Ground Fighting between azerbaijan and armenia continues with both sides accusing the other of targeting civilians at least 10 people died during a sustained bombardment of the disputed region reports of burnet smith was filming there when the bombs fell you know you love 8123456789. This is been the most sustained bombing of japan occurred since 1994 and the end of the war between Ethnic Armenians in the nagornokarabakh and azerbaijan from early sunday morning air raid sirens wailed across the city. As a large of rockets and mortars rained down. The target where we were filming seems to have been a nearby Electricity Distribution station. Now that was a. Very close. Rocket targeting somewhere near. Here. And i think. Coming. Ok lets go come come. Life has moved underground insta panic at 8 days now those who havent left here have been living like this. We are in a very bad situation we sent all of our children out of the city and we have asked soldiers for our sons waiting for good news and to get out of the cellars we havent heard from the fighting we dont know how they are but to be armenians are strong we are patient. This Apartment Building was hit on friday night fortunately the people who live here were in that shelter the shockwave smashed the windows of buildings nearby. Weapons technology has advanced considerably in the 30 years since Ethnic Armenians in the Gono Karabakh and azerbaijan last fort with this intensity because there is now of help from the Turkish Military and it seems precision guided missiles and drones this. I was 7 years old when i 1st saw war we dont want our children to go through all that thats why we took them to we are brave united that is why everything is going to be ok kind of is going to. Carry back infrastructure is being targeted there was a direct hit on the electricity transformers a couple of hours after wed filmed nearby Stepanek Kurt is now without power. And on the very edge of nagornokarabakh more electricity transformers were targeted on sunday afternoon we driven past 5 minutes earlier. This on players under pressure like never before as azerbaijans military forces seem to be trying to completely cut it and its people off from. Bernard smith al jazeera nagornokarabakh lets get the perspective from azerbaijan. She says the warring sides are no closer to entering into negotiations. Amid accusations of all those are bridge on and are many against each other for attacking their civilian settlements in a corner car about conflict seems to be transforming into a direct war between our mania and as our page on that within this week top azerbaijan officials including the president have threatened that if our mania attacks us our rage on from our many in territory those firing positions would be destroyed and today our mania officials said that they hit. Again jay aboard again jet is the 2nd largest city of us are big john with 350000 population after that we heard off the show saying that there is a vengeful area in the citys center was hit by rockets fired from our main yes so now everybody is worried as well as our bridge on retaliate against this attack from our mania because as soon as i heard the incident i spoke to official sources in the Foreign Ministry and to some academics sources all sides are saying that are many as front to dracos are big john into a bilateral conflict because if this happens they believe our main will be able to regain the. International support all Regional Support let me say that theyve been they find it necessary from the. Security collective Security Treaty Organization which are many is a member of but as our bridge on is and by this way russia might be in all different and then this question comes up will this turn out to be a regional conflict because if russia is involved turkey might be involved so all these questions are waiting for answers but the coming days seems to be a far from coming around the negotiation table for us are based on an armenian offer szells.
