Yeah i mean this is Perfect Timing for President Donald Trump who really loves these rallies he loves to make contact with his base as he was boarding air force one without a mask on incidentally thats when we got word from the white house physician that he had tested negative joe biden the Vice President and his rival in this race is saying that his behavior is reckless but i think people will be watching president shops beaches tonight very closely to see if his attitude has changed since he himself contracted kobe 98 in may this incredible speedy recovery i dont think were going to see anything different make i think were going to hear him talking about how people should just get on with their own lives how he is a warrior he got through this but this is essential trump hes going to hit 4 states including florida over the next few days will go into North Carolina iowa pennsylvania all essential battleground states but on monday night right now hes on stage in Central Florida that is a key part of the biggest battleground state in this country thats where there are lots of swing voters and independent voters and dont want to make no mistake cannot get another 4 years in the white house without winning this state and certainly what about joe biden hes in another key state in the. Yeah hes in toledo ohio where hes been basically talking about his economic plan to auto workers in a state that trump took a silly back in 2016 but which in which joe biden is doing pretty well at the moment as he has across the entire nation if the polls are to be believed hes been talking about his experience during the economic crisis of 20062007 incidentally saying that President Trumps behavior getting back on the campaign trail is device if an irresponsible words weve heard many times before here in this state which is always seen as a litmus test for the entire election joe biden is leading President Trump by just a razor thin margin thats why this state is so important joe biden in fact will be here on choose day showing once again just how important florida is and how much both these candidates need to win here in the Sunshine State oregon and thanks very much david ive got a reporting there from miami lets take this on for that we can speak to aaron cohen whos the director of debate at the university of michigan joins us live by skype from. Air and 1st up so these rallies these is preaching to the converted his name who does he need to sway with these appearances yes as you mentioned these rallies generally are with his base people that are predisposed to vote for him likely voted for him in 2016 but in order to win reelection hes going to need to reach out further than that to moderate independent voters maybe people that voted for barack obama in 20082012 were disaffected voted for president dropped in 2016 but then went democratic in 2018 the president s done a great job with his base but its only between 30 and 40 percent and he needs that additional 5 to 10 percent of independents and moderates needs to get his message a little bit further. Its funny to see if you look at him campaigning right now and then the crowd behind me can see that some have got. Some have and thats certainly not any social distancing going on you wonder what will that appeal to the scene is to the working class mums to a not yet convinced probably not the seniors and thats part of the reason joe biden has a lead in florida now is because seniors are skeptical how seriously President Trump is treating crowd of iris and what his plan is Going Forward in terms of you know masks and Contact Tracing and even vaccine arrest of you should then and theyre the most vulnerable in so yes a signal like this is not positive and a seniors are a big part of the voting constituency in florida and so it doesnt send the right message and seniors could determine this election if not florida but other states are crucial because theyre such dependable voters so what then the Trump Campaign teams tactics behind these appearances behind these rallies. Well i think for one thing they want to make up for lost time hes been off the campaign trail for 12 days and this is the most important time right now theres only about 3 weeks until the election so they have to get him out there these all these Campaign Rallies they also registered new voters and get voters activated and so i think a big part of it is trying to get people that maybe didnt even vote for him in 2016 but are interested in the message coming to the rally with friends to get them to sign up and vote they need an even larger turnout of his base supporters white voters those without a College Degree that are typically considered his base even more to turn out and register to vote that did in 2016 for him to have any chance of winning reelection aaron appreciate that thanks very much indeed aaron cole the speaking to us from our thank you and he found.

But the chinese governments aggressive push to trace and suppress the virus seems to have paid off with daily numbers drastically reduced just over 85000. 00 cases a so far confirmed its a week since the golden week holiday when millions traveled across the country back inching down results the testing are trickling in authorities will be hoping to stop any spread of the virus quickly durables mandy aljazeera millions of students across africa are heading back to class out of the pandemic delayed start schools that at least 12 countries are reopening following a lockdown thats lasted more than 6 months universities are also expected to open but some lecturers are warning they wont be going back to work unless they get a pay rise like where visited a school in kenyas capital of nairobi. Schools in kenya reopened for the 1st time in 7 months but with some precautions in place children here have to wash their hands frequently was so. Meant to be Wearing Masks<\/a> only 3 groups of resume those that are due to city. Lets take a look inside this classroom these primary age children havent been in class since march but childrens rights organizations say this isnt simply about learning so these children come from could be a its one of nairobis most densely populated and poorest slums and the childrens welfare organizations say if theyre not at school theyre much greater risk of being sent to work all kinds of abuse and during the lockdown 1700000 kenyans have lost their jobs so that means that some children probably wont be coming back to school the tool if their parents are no longer in a position to afford uniforms lunches and so on now scientists are estimating that kenyas coronavirus pandemic already peaked in late july and that more than a 3rd of the population has already had it now means well on the way to herd immunity i will say that only one in 5 people who had the virus actually had any symptoms until less than 800 people have died here and i was not really understood why this is based on very low levels of testing there was a lot of skepticism about the Government Data<\/a> and code 19 response which were corruption scandals allegations of millions of dollars worth of funding being stolen but nonetheless if the scientists data is right it would suggest that kenya is over the worst of the pandemic and more schoolchildren in other yo groups may be able to resume their education soon. Coronavirus could be here to stay its been the warning from. Health experts for months but as we near a year since the 1st cases weve seen how we remain Vigilant Health<\/a> officials including those at the World Health Organization<\/a> are concerned that covert 9000. 00 restrictions are creating public fatigue experts think theres a 3 step middle path that can be replicated around the World Without<\/a> the need for repeated lock downs where individuals are reminded to keep up the basics of hygiene in physical distance public Health System<\/a>s focus on tracing cases and tracking outbreaks with better resources and clearer guidelines that are more consistent between different governments go to David Nabarro<\/a> is the special envoy of the World Health Organization<\/a> director general on covert 19 and he says the best way to contain the virus is to follow its Strict Health<\/a> and safety. The most important thing that everybody has to do is to hold this virus. And that does mean people behaving in a way that restricts the ability of the virus to infect them Public Health<\/a> services that enable everyone to know where the virus is and help with getting with local spikes as they build up and then consistency inside countries and between countries so that the world can get moving again and the middle path is our way of trying to help people to understand a little bit more about what were saying we dont want everyone to be in lockdown for the foreseeable future but we also think its very dangerous just to let the virus go where it wants to because we know that that will lead to overloading of Health System<\/a>s and a lot of death thats why we go over the middle path keeping the virus at bay that testing for this virus is not easy it uses a complex test that requires regions that are scarce in some places so its not straightforward but it has to be the mainstay of getting ahead of the virus if you dont know where the virus is its very hard to mount an Effective Response<\/a> and having enough Testing Capacity<\/a> so that you can pick up the spikes quickly and then react very very fast when youve seen them is absolutely central to this we are seeing good testing and tracing in many parts of the world including some places in europe.
