And azerbaijan accuse each other of serious. Celebrations in kyrgyzstan as a new Prime Minister is named by the opposition says it will only strengthen the president s prepon power and this coronavirus cases surge in the netherlands the Government Faces scrutiny over its decision to favor personal liberty over public protection. U. S. President donald trump has held his 1st public event since testing positive for the coronavirus trump addressed 200. 00 of his supporters from the white house balcony focusing on what he has described as law and order that most of the people attending were part of a campaign urging black americans believe that them across party may. They were not Wearing Masks despite accuse ations the white house hosted a socalled corona virus a super spreader event just last month trump use these address to discredit 1000 lockdown policies which he branded unscientific while also attacking democratic president ial candidate joe biden trump fell ill with covert 19 last week and there are concerns he may still be contagious because hes yet to provide the results will be. Well i decided not to attend any White House Events on site for safety reasons so our White House Correspondent kimberly how kit is stationed just a block away from the white house and joins us now so kimberly this was billed as an official event and not a Campaign Rally but the president really did turn it into a Campaign Rally didnt he. Yeah he really did he spoke for roughly 18 minutes which is significantly shorter than the president s typical Campaign Rallies and youre right the press office call this an official event but this was a very much an event designed by the president to show that he has emerged triumphant from being sick from covert night that he has in the his words dominated this virus and that is now encouraging other americans to do the same the president arrived onto the balcony wearing a mask but he took it off just speak and while this president says that he is really just trying to show the public that hes feeling better that this virus can be conquered it was clear this was a Campaign Event or he attacked his democratic president ial rival joe biden multiple times. And i went out to say hello to those people and took a little heat for it but i do it again let me tell you right there with the old. On behalf of myself and the 1st lady it just has been really an incredible outpouring and were starting very very big with our rallies and with our everything because we cannot allow our country to become a socialist nation if we can not let that happen was so kimberly when can we expect a return to the official campaign trail for the president. Well so far there is nothing on the president s schedule for sunday but that all changes on monday the president has announced he will have a large camp a Campaign Style rally on monday again on tuesday and even on wednesday in other words it doesnt look like hes going to stop between now and the november 3rd president ial election hell be hitting battleground states and it is clear that the president is in full Campaign Mode some of the themes that hes expected to continue to pick up as he did today law and order creating jobs but mostly he is playing on the fears of Many Americans about potentially if joe biden were elected and what that would look like the president accusing him of his opponent of having far left policies and once again trying to sort of portray socialism as a dirty word so these are some of the themes that we expect the president d will push forward with but again when it comes to his own recovery its been less than the recommended 14 days in quarantine and because there has been little transparency from the white house its still not clear if the president is no longer contagious having said that the president and the press secretary say that if the president is contagious he will not be appearing in public but he had that again theyve never revealed his test results to ordinary americans that soon have to go to the polls and decide whether or not they want donald trump in the white house for another term. Can really help you with the latest there from what washington d. C. Kimberly thank you and for more on the story were joined by aaron call whos that the rector of the bay to the university of michigan he joins us via skype from novi in michigan sir thank you for joining us here on aljazeera as we were hearing from our White House Correspondent there we dont actually know the president has tested positive we know he was in hospital not that long ago 1st of all how did he look to you i mean this was sort of i guess in a way a Campaign Event what did you make of his performance. Yes its great to be with you and yes it was a typical Campaign Performance he was you know on about me with some distance from. Supporters there who were there to see him speak and the way he looked pretty good hes in the last several days you know made a big deal of doing videos and other events to make him look like hes you know business as normal but you know youd certainly have a better idea if he was more closely interacting with people might think that will get that once he regains the campaign trail and has more interaction with the press and reporters they feel will get a much better idea of exactly how hes doing and how hes feeling but from today it certainly hes trying to project the image of that hes returned to normal with just less than 3 weeks left of the election and very much pushing always the line that coveted code lockdowns and on the sarah lee the way to go forward we saw some people at that meeting with masks but not much social distancing what message do you think all of that same to the American People who are dealing of course with an increasing number of infections and thats. Yes exactly you know were now up to you know 50000. 00 cases per day still around. Today and the message hes trying to project is kind of business as normal we need to return to the economy as soon as possible we dont want to shut down the economy again and so that certainly with these events with the rallies a large rallies it airplane hangars and things like that he would like the subject to be anything but coronavirus so close the election but but as you mentioned its kind of a mixed message not just whether hes you know could infect people or as a risk to them because exactly you know if you still positive and you know potentially showing newsies is unknown but those people in the Campaign Rally are also at risk there wasnt much this is the train them like you mentioned most had masks but not all and weve seen in previous rallies not just the rose garden event with Amy Tony Barrett but also he had a Campaign Rally in oklahoma. I want to minnesota in these events you know people do get sick and some people have died so it is a risk you know for some of these events and so its really a mixed message for health and perspective that the white house is sending by by doing this ok were having some glitches with sound but lets just try out one more question we know that members of his base in a way will agree with anything he says and certainly agree with his take on the coronavirus but how do you think the past 10 days a week or so have impacted the Republican Party do you think that members of the Party Representatives there are perhaps slightly unimpressed with how hes handled his own illness and the messages that he sent through it. I do hasnt gone well in Public Opinion polls nationally or in swing states Vice President pence did his best during the debate in order to try to defend the emissions position but its very difficult and weve seen distance put between some of the senators and President Trump recently with Mitch Mcconnell complaining about the protocols of the white house regarding coronavirus a senator cornyn in texas and so i think as we get closer to election especially those vulnerable republican senators especially are going to try to. Draw a line with the president and advocate for more forceful testing and contact racing and things like that we just saw joni ernst a senator from iowa saying that she thinks all members of the Senate Judiciary committee should get tested before those hearings but they make up the very next week so i do think well see a rift between the senate and the president because they have their own political concerns to worry about because theyre on the ballot as well in less than a month and so just briefly do you think that contract think of it 19 in the way hes handled it will have damaged his chances or enhanced them. Or definitely damaged i mean out of all the issues this is what is worse his you know position on whether its taken too seriously he would love the election to be a focus on the economy its from court about an issue coronavirus he gets 4 marks and since hes contracted it his numbers politically have only gone down so deftly you know her and called the rector of the bet at the university of michigan joining us from novi in michigan sarah thank you thank you. Well still to come here on aljazeera this news hour an equal footing with china thats taiwans precondition for tension easing talks forced from their homes by violence and now by floods families escape a new tragedy in south sudan. North korea has this played what are believed to be a previously unseen Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles the weapons were seen during a parade marking the 75th anniversary of the Ruling Workers Party bride reports from seoul. An impressive show of force through the streets of pyongyang this parade dont usually held at night time adding to the sense of drama no social distancing and no masks in sight so liberating the countrys continued claims to be free of coronavirus visibly moved leader kim jong un praised his countrys efforts in keeping the virus out. Im really grateful that not a Single Person is infected we managed to protect the people from this contagion. North korea has also been hit by devastating typhoon and summer rains damage that kim is reported to have taken personal charge in dealing with and its exacerbated the ongoing affects of sanctions and effectively being cut off from the outside world kim needed this show of strength in the context he want to use to t. Heres audience he want to show up here a strong leader it is necessary for the kingdom leadership tour or sure educate it and show us north korean population that things will eventually be ok this parade showcased what are thought to be new missiles and transporters with the star of the show whats claimed to be a newly developed into continental Ballistic Missile its a reminder that in spite of denuclearization talks with the u. S. North korea has continued to expand its arsenal in recent years future relations between the United States and north korea might be on hold until after the u. S. Election but south Korea Remains optimistic it can still achieve closer into korean ties thats despite a number of setbacks in recent months. Souring relations culminated in the destruction of a Liaison Office by north korea in june and the cutting of communication hotlines between the north and south but kim says he still holds hopes of reconciliation had a hand in the new year i wish the best for the people in the south in a fast recovery from the pandemic so that we can hold hands together soon came also apologized for failing to meet his peoples expectations and a sign of humility not often exhibited by a north korean leader. The country may be suffering from problems on many fronts but none of that was on show on this night of mcbride al jazeera. So. There have been reports of fresh shelling in the disputed in the corner karabakh region despite a cease fire aimed at halting fighting between armenia and azerbaijan both sides accuse each other of seriously violating the truce earlier azerbaijan said it carried out airstrikes against armenian tanks while armenia has accused its neighbor of killing a civilian near its southeast border town of couple barnets smith has. Stepped in are curtis taken a battering these last 2 weeks as a by john has thrown the latest high tech israeli and turkish supplied weaponry at this town and the surrounding areas of nagornokarabakh the ceasefire has allowed people to risk emerging from their shelters. A cease fire is good certainly good but the problem must be solved you cant have a ceasefire and several years later or again a cease fire must solve the problem that is our independence. Independence is very unlikely this is internationally recognized as azerbaijani territory but its governed by Ethnic Armenians a previous ceasefire lasted more than 26 years but the status of Nagorno Karabakh went on resolved a ceasefire allows both sides to assess the capabilities of each other and for the armenians there must be a new appreciation of the technically advanced and destructive weaponry that their adversary hearts. And what has surprised armenians in karabakh is turkeys open support for azerbaijan if well there is also a direct involvement of told keep and i dont see that told his going to pull out from the region it means that we have to somehow you know change some geopolitical approaches so far with state strength. For the string strengthen our relations with brows of countries russia United States iran and china. In the is very town of tartar these buildings were hit by armenian artillery before the ceasefire we dont support the ceasefire our enemy shall face what they deserve maybe 10 times more than what they did to us before. These were homes built for some of the 10s of thousands of his areas displaced from territory next to karabakh that armenia talk in the 190124 war now theyre on the move again. International community or a series group which airs should take responsibility and transforms a current moment to change the momentum of state school it is a durable peace to focus on his rule of armenian troops from the white there is of course a return russia says armenia and azerbaijan have agreed to substantially if peace talks for them to work both sides will have to make the sort of compromises on territorial sovereignty that theyve never been willing to make before. Bernard smith jazeera step on a current nagornokarabakh kurdistans parliament has named the new Prime Minister 5 days after the disputed election the appointment of said the as a part of this seen by the opposition as strengthening president sort of by yemen calls hold on power 51 year old is a part of was serving in 11 year sentence for kidnapping when he was freed by supporters from prison in the chaos that followed sundays vote his appointment as Prime Minister happened just a few hours after former president by a of was the tane he had himself survived what appears to be an a cessation attempt on friday and the rest is great to the Central Asian nation since the election but for now there is calm a state of emergency will remain in place for 3 days charles fractured reports now from the capital bishkek where a curfew is now in effect. Incredible change in atmosphere incredible events of the last 24 hours to imagine that this square was so chaotic last this time yesterday yesterday afternoon we had clashes between rival protest groups there was the shooting of the car of the former president and seemingly no rule of law whatsoever to get spare me safe to say that we are beginning to see the rule of law returning this parliamentary session this evening the parliamentary speaker has announced that there will be no discussion of the state of emergency in this session however the state of emergency is active for the next 3 days starting from 9 oclock this evening and if parliament has not approved that state of emergency decree to extend it within 3 days then the decree becomes no and void so as i say it just does seem as if certainly lord all that does seem to be returning the other very interesting thing that has come from this parliamentary session is the endorsement officially of the new Prime Minister this man saturday of power all of that a lot of people have been speaking very disparagingly of he was freed by protesters his supporters. In the postelection chaos on monday night he was serving an 11 year jail term for kidnapping. He all week has been. Basically quite quite outspoken hes considered to have a very sort of nationalist tendencies a lot of support amongst the Rural Communities will kyrgyzstan he supports is very happy with this disappointment officially off him as the new pm there celebrating not far from here but of course you know his legal status is still can be called into question considering that as a last this time last week he was serving an 11 year jail. Well in his acceptance speech at the Emergency Parliament session the Prime Minister the new Prime Minister sadly is a part of had a message for the young people involved in the recent protests. Going on using this opportunity or id like to 1st of all bow my head for the people and especially the youth who risked their lives and came on to the square to stand for justice and for the idea of legitimacy after gaining a deep understanding of the political situation in the country everyone has taken a step toward returning to legality and deciding to stabilise the present situation in adherence with the law thats
