Donald trumps doctors say hes doing extremely well and reporting no symptoms of covid 19. He arrived back at the white house yesterday and released this video not long aftere he returned to the white house after being hospitalised. Dont let it dominate you. Dont be afraid of it. Youre going to beat it. We have the best medical equipment, we have the best medicines. Several aspects of this video are being criticised. But lets first take a look at the state of Donald Trumps health. His doctors said yesterday that hes not yet out of the woods, and its likely that he remains infectious. Heres one doctor who has been treating covid 19 patients in the uk. He does look like he met the requirements for how we wouldve treated him in the uk with dexamethasone and remdesivir. But his early discharge from hospital still while in an infectious state leaves a lot of questions, and leaves our patients often asking why are they being asked to self isolate and wear masks when donald trump isnt even trying to do so. Now i know we dont know all the answers to how Donald Trumps been treated or why hes being released. But given what we do know, what you make of the fact that hes returned back to the white house now at this stage of having contracted covid 19 . Well, it if were led to believe he contracted it on thursday, it would be day six of his illness. So he still is infectious. In the uk, our guidelines is the first ten days are when you are deemed to be infectious. So the people he comes into contact with in that period, he puts them at risk. And him not wearing a mask at points puts him at an added risk, a higher risk. So it is thought he will probably still be infectious . Yes, i dont think anyone is denying that, he is still infectious, definitely. That was information that we have about covid 19 is, in the first ten days, patients are still infectious. So yes. And weve heard conflicting reports about the ideal length of stay for hospital treatment for covid 19. But youve got a lot of experience, sadly, in this now. And also, given the timeline, what do you make of how serious or otherwise the condition could become from now on . Do you think its wise for him to be at the white house, even though there is a fully staffed medical unit there . Yes, that is up for debate. Is the safest place the hospital . Its not always the case. So i couldnt say definitely, but i do know that his own physician has said hes not out of the woods and that is right. We are seeing patients between day seven and day ten deteriorating. So whether the right place for him is at the hospital or the white house, im not sure. But he is definitely not out of the woods, and this could get worse before it gets better. Its also worth pointing out that as president , mr trump has had access to Ground Breaking drugs that most americans cannot access including an antibody therapy thats still being trialled. And while he says he feels better than he has in a long time, numerous doctors have sounded warnings on that for instance, this Public Health expert. Hes now on dexamethasone which, as anyone whos been on a steroid can tell you, it causes psychosis. Causes mania, causes psychosis. At a minimum, it makes you feel really, really good. It can mask symptoms of illness. So there are two very strong reasons that his saying he feels good doesnt necessarily mean hes out of the woods. And the top government scientist, dr anthony fauci, is also urging caution, saying. Gary odonoghue is with me now in washington. It seems like mr trump wants to treat this as full steam ahead . Yes, and emphasising this morning, as hes done before, that he believes its less serious than influenza something thats actually had him censored by the social Media Companies who have tags that tweet of his downplaying the importance of covid i9 vis a vis flu. But hes clearly wa nti ng covid i9 vis a vis flu. But hes clearly wanting to get back onto the election footing that he needs to be on for the next four weeks if he is going to turn around the position hes in, in terms of the polls. Dont go anywhere, gary. So lets take a look at the political reaction now. Donald trump has urged americans not to be afraid of the virus but the country has seen more than 210,000 deaths so far, in raw numbers more than anywhere else. In fact, as one new York City Council member tweets. The criticism has come from within his own party too heres part of a video from a group of anti trump republicans. Ijust left walter reed medical centre. And its really something very special. And i learned so much about coronavirus. And one thing thats for certain dont let it dominate you. Dont be afraid of it. You get the point that video is trying to make. Heres how shes responded. It was so hard to watch the president hop on a helicopter in his front yard and go to the hospital out of a precautionary measure. Same with chris christie, precautionary measure just wanting to be in hospital. My mum, a health ca re to be in hospital. My mum, a Health Care Worker who put her life at risk every single day didnt want to go to hospital because it was worse there, because it was full, she wouldnt get the care she needed and she knew that because she worked at a hospital. She spent two days looking for a testing site because there wasnt one available. And this isa there wasnt one available. And this is a Health Care Worker. 0n the day she died, the morning that she died, she died, the morning that she died, she argued with my brother and said, please dont call an ambulance. It will be too expensive. My brother did it anyway but, by the time she was on the gurney, she lost her pulse and it was too late. So yes, it doesnt seem fair and it doesnt seem fair to it doesnt seem fair and it doesnt seem fairto him it doesnt seem fair and it doesnt seem fair to him just for him to generalise his treatment and his privilege because they are so many people out there who will never get the same type of treatment that he did. No shortage of criticism. Hes also taken to twitter, as gary was saying, to compare covid i9 to the he wrote. Twitter has flagged this tweet is spreading harmful or misleading information about the coronavirus thats because more than 200,000 people have died from covid i9 where between october 2019 people have died from covid 19 where between october 2019 and april, the flu because between 24 62,000 deaths, according to Us Government figures. Gary, can i bring you back in here. Can we understand the situation with the white house into the degree to which mr trumps and ministration will be following the guidelines all other americans are being asked to follow . Hes not followed the guidelines in large pa rt followed the guidelines in large part ever since they were introduced. And bear in mind, there really arent any federal instructions, on the guidelines in this case. Hes resisted for the large part wearing masks. Hes resisted any kind of social distancing at his campaign events. Hes resisted any social distancing and his official president ial events here at the white house. Hes resisted avoiding handshaking all that kind of thing. So hes not really followed any of those guidelines in any case. I think what we saw last night when we returned to the white house was that famous picture of him turning around on the truman balcony, taking off that mask a truman balcony, taking off that mask a really clear message that if you think ive changed because i have covid 19, youre wrong. Think ive changed because i have covid19, youre wrong. Quicklyjust update us on the state of the race. Im guessing one of the reasons why mrtrump wants to im guessing one of the reasons why mr trump wants to get out there is he knows hes in a bit of trouble . He is ina he knows hes in a bit of trouble . He is in a bit of trouble. Weve got the National Polls which are of limited value at this stage of the race. But he is also seeing gaps open up in some of the key battle ground, key states. He needs some Game Changing moments in the last four weeks of this campaign. 0ne Game Changing moments in the last four weeks of this campaign. One of those could be thursday week, when the second president ial debate is due to take place in miami. We know what happened during the last one and bear in mind, that was a week ago tonight. Lots can happen in a week of politics. But he will hope that Something Like that can change the weather politically, and joe biden has said that he would be prepared to take part if the scientists said it was safe. Always appreciate your help, thanks very much, gary. Theres been a sharp rise in the number of people admitted to hospital with coronavirus in england. The figure has risen by a quarter in just one day, to 3,000. Cases are rising fastest in cities in the north of england, despite local lockdown restrictions in place in many places. Manchester now has the highest rate of infections in england, with just under 530 cases for every 100,000 people. Households there are banned from mixing in homes and gardens. To put that figure in context the rate in madrid currently is 700 per 100,000. Spains been having the most serious outbreak of coroanvirus in europe, and residents in madrid arent allowed to leave the area unless its essential. Heres danjohnson on the situation in greater manchester. In the student streets of fallowfield, the mood is darkening. Theres growing concern here is case numbers rise and theres more confusion as the layers of rules are built on. Ian has lived here his whole life. Im not and locked down. Im neither matched up or not messed up. One of the other, not half baked bit of this or the other. Nothing. Today, Council Leaders in four of the worst affected cities elites, newcastle, and here in newcastle called for. In a letter to matt hancock, they wrote. They made it clear they dont support further economic lockdowns, but instead offered up a five point plan, including more localised Decision Making and more Financial Support for the individuals and businesses most affected. Where placing the best of both worlds here. The economy is tanking, so we decided to come together and just really stressed to the government that weve got the expertise, so please, can they start working with us, setting up local solutions to the problems that we are all facing . 0n the problems that we are all facing . On our floor, seven having a positive the micro people got tested there were positive. University of manchester has seen more than 1000 cases. Allen and his flatmates have been i slated for ten days. What they want us to do . Were all young, we have fun, weve had a poor six months. What do they expect . We didnt have a choice, we are all going to get it in the end. The council has been delivering letters to residents saying that the return of University Students has had unexpected impact on the r number here, with leaflets reminding people that shouldnt be partying. But their voices here that feel it is too easy and simple to blame stu d e nts too easy and simple to blame students when there are other things going on. I feel like they have been duped. And weve been duped too. We all share the laundromat, the supermarkets, public transport. Inevitably it will hit communities like ours, and we do have a higher number of Vulnerable People both socially deprived and people from the ame community. Its always impressed to see people live heat leave here at 10pm, go to the local shop, buy booze, and go to their house party. Ben has built his bar here around student trade. The government needs to like her either needs to shut us completely or let trade. If it carries on like it is, we will not survive. The universities here have announced they are moving most courses online 110w they are moving most courses online now to suppress the virus. 0ther major cities will be watching closely, waiting for their own case numbers to rise. Danjohnson, bbc news, manchester. New coronavirus restrictions arrive in scotland tomorrow. The rate of infection continues to rise there, and another 800 new cases were confirmed today. We dont have full details on these restrictions, but first minister Nicola Sturgeon has been on clear on what wont be happening. We are not proposing another lockdown at this stage, not even on a temporary basis. We wont be asking you to stay inside your own homes. We are not about to impose travel restrictions on the whole of the country. Were not about to shut down the entire economy, were not about to halt the re mobilization of the nhs. And, apart from the october holidays which were already planned, we are not planning to close schools. That half term holiday the first minister mentioned there could be key to the whole approach. Heres our scotland editor, sarah smith. Its that that the governor hoping to use to try and create what is known as a circuit breaker. Two weeks of significant lead tighter regulations to try to stem the rise and infection rates. So it could be that restaurants, bars and pubs will be told to close or severely restrict how they can operate in order to try and clamp down on the rising infections. Nicola sturgeon says this is the most difficult Decision Point in the crisis so far, and shes trying to balance Public Health needs against the wider harms that we know that stricter rules can produce. Rates of infection continue to rise elsewhere in europe rates of hospitalisations are increasing too. To be clear the numbers are a lot lower than back in the spring, but look at this. This Financial Times graph shows that the European Union is on course to overtake the United States in the average number of new coronavirus cases. That hasnt been the case since the early days of the outbreak. In germany, new daily infections now regularly exceed 2,000 and Angela Merkel is warned that difficult time lie ahead. Heresjenny hill in berlin. Europes leaders amassed in the second wave. Angela merkel, ever cautious, admits shes worried. The german case numbers are rising, though they are still significantly lower than those of france, spain and britain. Theres a strong chance that things might get out of control. Its down to how they contract cases. So far, theyve done a pretty good job. As the season changes, new concerns arise. Is about to move back indoors. In towns and cities across this country, officials are trying to work out how to keep infections under control. Theres lots of debate should masks be worn in outer spaces . Should alcohol sales be banned at night . But all agree on this. Germany simply cannot afford a second lockdown. With citizens across europe having lived under coronavirus restrictions for months, the World Health Organization is warning of what it calls pandemic fatigue. Its director for europe says citizens have made huge sacrifices and that in such circumstances it is easy and natural to feel apathetic and demotivated, to experience fatigue. Professor susan michie, the director of ucls Behavioural Change centre, she has been advising the uk government on their covid restrictions. Thank you very much forjoining us. Do you agree with whos analysis that we are starting to see fatigue setting in . They are defining fatigue is a lack of motivation. And certainly when you look at the uk figures, what you see is that people are still overwhelmingly adhering to the majority of the guidance. And that this isnt diminishing over time. And when one is looking at behaviour, it isnt just time. And when one is looking at behaviour, it isntjust about motivation, but also about do people have the knowledge and understanding . Do they have the opportunity, the support for their behaviour . There isnt strong evidence at all that the reason, for example, of transmissions going up is that people arent adhering to guidelines. What we do know from the data is that people are becoming increasingly confused about the complexity of the advice and the changing nature of it. So the confidence in knowing what people are meant to be doing has gone down. And also, people are citing, for example, the reasons why they may not isolate when they have symptoms or have been contacted about someone they have been in contact with that had symptoms is that they dont have the Financial Support or they have to go out of the house to look at other people, or they need to go out to get food and medicines. Sorry, i wa nt to to get food and medicines. Sorry, i want to understand this issue of motivation. You talk about confusion of messaging. Is there a connection between that confusion and do motivation . One of the biggest predictors of a lack of motivation isa predictors of a lack of motivation is a decrease in trust in the governments advice. And i think one of the reasons why people have lost trust in the governments advice has been the mixed messaging. So now, u nfortu nately i been the mixed messaging. So now, unfortunately i think less than 30 of the population think the government have handled the pandemic well. And i think this is a much greater explanation of why people may not be following all the advice then this concept of fatigue. There really isnt a good evidence for fatigue. Fatigue means tiredness. And what we can see is that people are still concerned, theyre still worried about the risk. And theyre not in any way letting up on what theyre doing, certainly not in the uk. Thats been invaluable. Thank you very much, professor. Perhaps we can talk to you again soon as the autumn and the winter go on. Thank you very much. If you want more on covid 19, go to the bbc news website. Now to a part of the world we dont often talk about kyrgyzstan. Here it is on the map of central asia. And on sunday, it had a parliamentary election. But the results have been annulled after violent protests. The government has handed over power to the opposition in a new Prime Minister has been appointed. These are some of the latest pictures. Police used water cannon and tear gas against the demonstrators. One person is reported to have died, and hundreds of others have been injured in clashes with Security Forces. Protesters also stormed the parliament. This is an official portrait of the president being destroyed. And then theres this documents being thrown from windows. Parties with close ties to the president won the election, but protesters say the vote was rigged. Well in the past few hours, the Kyrgyz Parliament has agreed to transfer power to the opposition, and the president has accused the opposition of an attempted coup. Almaz tchoroev is the editor of bbc kyrgyz. Hes based in the capital, bishkek. It is still unclear how this will all work, because the president is still legitimately in power. In an exclusive interview with the bbc, he has stated that hes in power although hes ready to work with strong leaders, hes ready to work with the Coordination Council that the opposition created. We will see in the coming days that it is still unclear whether he will step down or whether he will start a discussion with the opposition. The Security Forces are actually fully controlled by the opposition now. The president usually has control over the Security Forces, but once the protesters stormed the parliament, it looks like the Security Forces have stepped down and are now in the hands of the opposition. Lets turn back to the us election. Look at how important the votes of evangelical christians will be to donald trump. Last time they voted for him in big numbers. This time, joe biden is keen to win some christian voters over. And as you may have seen, hes been placing a lot of emphasis on his catholic faith. We can report this in North Carolina, the bible be in the swing state. Heres more. This is North Carolina. Donald trump one big here in 2016, helped in part by christian voters. Thats what im looking for. I would describe myself politically asa i would describe myself politically as a Christian Conservative patriot. According to exit polls, eight out of ten white evangelicals voted for donald trump saw philip my faith and my relationship withjesus rules my decisions. Our leadership to dictates the society we live in, and i would prefer that it state that god centred country it was created to be. This year, the race in North Carolina is tight. A different type of christian could swing the state. Im a christian and i know that the Christian Faith is diverse. There is an increasingly vocal christian left. So i wanted to speak to people we dont usually hear from in a state that could vote either way. Covid 19 and the job losses its brought have hit black and latino communities disproportionately hard. We started this in march, march 15th. He offers drivethrough meals for the needy and has church on the outskirts of the state capital, raleigh. During the pandemic, demand increased 15 fold. The black christian vote is more motivated this election cycle, because what weve seen as lives really do depend on it. He wants all his congregation to vote. I do not believe that donald trump stands for christian values. I believe that donald trump preys on the Christian Faith in order to seek reelection. More than one quarter of all christians are black or latino, and these groups generally vote for the democratic party. But republicans are hoping to win over voters like 19 year old rose. Some pros for trump would be abortion, i think. Rose. Some pros for trump would be abortion, ithink. That rose. Some pros for trump would be abortion, i think. That is something i agree with as a christian. Latino christians have been called the ultimate swing voter. Nearly half are catholic and tend to be more socially conservative. At Donald Trumps stance on immigration can be difficult. Roses mum is from honduras, and the temporary scheme which allowed her to be in the us is now in limbo. I would really love to see him give a chance to immigrants, give them an opportunity to live in this country and not have to worry about getting deported. Everyone ive spoken with was really worried about whats happening in america. And whilst they may have different views about what should be done about it, but they have in common with their faith. If the lens through which they see the world, including politics. And thats why jesus could be key to winning this election. Ill be back with you in a couple minutes, we will look at the latest in the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan. Good evening. Tuesdays been a showery day, but the further east, a little more shelter and fewer showers means a little more sunshine, as you can see across north yorkshire. Threatening looking cloud though for much of the day. In parts of west wales, rough seas as the winds just close to gale force along the exposed coasts. Gusted. We started off with sharp showers, particularly out to the west. Some of those drifted their way steadily eastward through the day. They will ease down and well see a window of finer weather developing for wednesday. However, just want to point out this mass of cloud across the atlantic. More rain to come across parts of england and wales in particular for thursday and friday. So the showers will ease overnight. We keep 1 2 sharp showers to the far northwest of scotland. But where skies continue to clear, temperatures may well get down into single figures. It could be a chilly start to wednesday, but a good deal of sunshine will be around. We keep that brisk northwesterly wind feeding the showers here and, as we go through the afternoon, the sunshine turns increasingly hazy with patchy rain pushing into southwest england and south wales. Ahead of it though, temperatures widely peeking into the mid teens. But its through wednesday evening and overnight towards thursday morning that we will see a spell of yet more heavy and persistent rain. We will need to keep an eye on that after events that we had over the weekend. That will gradually drift its way steadily eastwards, but this weather front may well linger for a time, bringing the potential for further pulses of wet weather particularly across parts of southern england. So we start off on wednesday morning on a wet note, hopefully that frontal system leaves away. Thursday morning. We need to keep an eye on that and how quickly it eases away, allowing for some brightness depending on the temperatures. If we get more sunshine, we could see 17 celsius the showers and the cooler feel continuing in the far northwest of scotland. Friday still brings the risk of yet more rain, particularly across england and wales. But the weekend shows signs of improvement and thats because we have an area of High Pressure just slowly pushing in from the atlantic. It means that for the start of the weekend, we could see some wetter weather running down through east coast, but a northerly wind will keep kicking, meaning it will feel noticeably cooler as well as we had towards the weekend. Fewer showers but a brisk, cold wind. Hello, im ros atkins, this is 0utside source. Donald trump is back in the white house and his doctors say hes reporting no covid symptoms. The president says hes feeling great and is ready to take onjoe biden in next weeks president ial debate in miami. Thats raised more questions about if the white house is following us guidelines on covid. Well also have all the latest on the pandemic from around the world. And well be closer at why pakistan is faring better off than its neighbour india in the pandemic. As the conflict in Nagorno Karabakh continues for a tenth day armenias Prime Minister accuses azerbaijan of genocide. The help of terrorists, it is attacking today. Returning now to the us where president Donald Trumps doctors have released a statement saying hes no longer reporting symptoms of covid 19. Remember, he had been hospitalised for three nights. But he now seems keen to get back to the campaign heres what he tweeted a few hours ago i am looking forward to the debate on the evening of thursday, october 15th in miami. It will be great that will be 13 days after he announced he had tested positive for the virus. Though bear in mind its not been confirmed when he first tested positive his doctors wont tell us. And if thats the president ial debate, tomorrow the Vice President ial nominees Kamala Harris and mike pence have their debate they will be separated by a plexiglass screen. And heres what the democratic candidate said at a town hall meeting. He seems to be coming along pretty well. But i hope he communicates the right lessons that masks matter. It matters, it saves lives that prevents the spread of the disease. Social distancing. President trumps made for tv return to the white house last night has inspired comment from Media Outlets around the world. Heres Krassimira Twigg from bbc monitoring with a look at the global coverage. Donald trumps return to the white house from hospital was seen as a show for the cameras from some foreign media. In reference to the reality tv past. The main tv channels and it was done in the true hollywood style. The newspaper observed the donald trump returned spectacularly to the white house at the end of the day, and time for the evening tv news. But the timing of his release from hospital has raised eyebrows. Spains abc news as it happened despite the president not being out of danger in the russian state tv remarked that he turned out to be an impatient patient. Media in iran express the idea that he was trying to use his infection for political purposes and criticised the president for what he called his latest and hygienic movement. Pointing out that he delivered the speech without wearing a mask. Mr trump plus plus attitude toward social distancing has also received a lot of attention in china, especially after he left the hospital and a car degreed supporters over the weekend. The global Times Newspaper called that a joyride and the observer is predicting that he is attempting to rally support amidst this illness could backfire because of his disregard for covid 19 safety rules and putting people around him at risk. A life picture, cbs news has been reporting that the top us military officials are quarantined after covid 19 exposure and this is quite a list of the joint chief of staff and the vice chairman of the army chief of staff and neighbour operations chief Cyber Commander ends base force operations chief. Reporting that long list of senior figures within the us military retort that list actually goes to 16 officials, all of the quarantine because of covid 19, that list of military officials but 16 other white house officials are also having the quarantine well over 20 and the sticks are in a situation where an that the president is making plans to get back on the campaign trail, number of his senior collea g u es campaign trail, number of his senior colleagues from the quarantine because of the exposure to the virus. Next covid 19 and how its impacting pakistan and india. Because the situations are very different. India has more cases and deaths. 6. 5 million cases in total. 2. 5 million in the past month. Pakistan has 315,000 cases in total. 17,000 recorded in the past month. Even when you factor in pakistans smaller population, its figures are way lower. And as indias cases go up pakistans cases are going down. The economist further illustrates this point every week of the past month has claimed more indian lives than the entire nine months of the pandemic have in pakistan. So pakistan appears to have been spared the worst of the pandemic this far at least. And it allowed its Prime Minister to talk proudly at the un general assembly. We have not only managed to control the virus, stabilise our economy, but most importantly, we have been able to protect the segment of society from the worst fallout of the lockdown. Today, pakistan plus plus response is cited amongst the successful response to the pandemic. Whats remarkable is that pakistan has fared well despite looking vulnerable when covid struck. It has a substantial population and a weak Health Care System. And initially that vulnerability played out. These are pictures from june. This was an icu unit in lahore. It was full. Hospitals in major cities were all filling up. There were multiple reports of families having to shuttle relatives around to search for a bed. That was june. This was august. The icu is empty. New daily cases went from 12,000 a day at their peak to hundreds a day. And while many experts initially were cautious the economist adds . The proportion of tests coming back positive was also falling, as were the numbers of people being taken to hospital or being kept in intensive care. All of which leaves us asking why . Well we think there are several factors. Heres Secunder Kermani in islamabad on some of them. As you can see, many are returning to normal. Recently, this mislaid spike in cases in admissions in some places. They are warning people to ta ke places. They are warning people to take precautions particularly as we head into the winter, but so far, even though we have seen a few coronavirus deaths, the situation has not been as bad as many feared it would be. Frankly speaking, no one is really sure why that is the case. Some government figures have suggested lockdown, the Contract Tracing efforts but really, this is a big country with the week taking Health Care System and the rules of not been so strictly enforced but interestingly. Studies say that 20 of people have been exposed to coronavirus, but most of them didnt develop any symptoms or develop, there are so mild that they do not realise they contracted the disease. 0ne crucial thing to remember is that this is a very young country. 22 euros or does the average. India has an order population at about 29 yea rs old has an order population at about 29 years old and older people are worst affected by this disease and that its possible for the lower death rate in another factor when comparing this in india is because indias sheer size, more big cities in more densely populated than other cities, but ultimately, the reason is people i thankful that the situation has not been worse but the government is not declaring victory in there is concern about what could happen in the coming months. Next india. Lets go back to the map. India has 6. 6m cases. 0ver100 000 deaths. Whats puzzling is that in march india had one of the worlds strictest lockdown affecting 1. 3 billion people while pakistan barely had one at all. Indias lockdown had this consequence. Tens of thousands of people tried to leave delhi as the borders were sealed and the trains stopped running many were able to get back to their rural communities. This article in the Indian Express believes this helped spread. It says by having people huddle together, infecting one another, and then having the same people travel hundreds of miles, the pandemic has been made much worse than it need have been bhramar mukherjee, professor of epidemiology, university of michigan. Thank you very much forjoining us. That Strict Lockdown in some ways drove the spread of the virus in the rural areas . Thank you for having me on. I think that the pandemic was a good prevention strategy but it all depends on the implementation. Without any giving the population warning, it did not quite work out and as we mentioned, thejourney warning, it did not quite work out and as we mentioned, the journey of the Migrant Workers cost a lot of human tragedy and also left the virus spread from the north and west pa rt virus spread from the north and west part of the country to the south and the east. And that was not desired because it was supposed to give us a static snapshot of the population. It did help india scalloped scale up it did help india scalloped scale up the health care facilities. Bringing in the lockton do to help us bringing in the lockton do to help us understand what is happening now, which is the rate of infection is still far above the rating pakistan . Yes. For the last few days, we have seen a decline in india, so that is the positive news. But we have co nsta ntly the positive news. But we have constantly seen at one point of time, up to 97 cases per day. Right now come with us in pieces per day and deaths of around a thousand. And after the lockdown was lifted, the prevention dispersed in terms of testing, Contract Tracing anything people actually became tired and fatigued, habituation, some think that this is destiny in the fatality rate in india made the public think that we can go ahead and continue our lives and the prevention measures were really very modest. Please to join us again soon. Armenias Prime Minister has told the bbc that the Ethnic Armenians in the enclave of Nagorno Karabakh are facing genocide. Fighting between armenia and azerbaijan iin the last week has been the fiercest in decades both sides are blaming each other. According to International Law, Nagorno Karabakh is part of azerbaijan. But since the 90s, its been run by by Ethnic Armenians who declared independence though effectively made the area part of armenia. The bbcs jonah fisher spoke to armenias Prime Minister who uses the armenian name for Nagorno Karabakh which is art sakh. Heres his defence of the ongoing occupation of land which is part of azerbaijan. Yes, it is the land of armenians because always, 80 plus percent of the people of the population there. They have been armenians. And today, thatis they have been armenians. And today, that is the case. So, what is the problem with that and i should buy jean wants us to not live there and with the help of terrorists, it is attacking today. So, what is everyones proposal, are they going to say ok, youre terrorists and therefore we give up on our roots . That cannot possibly happen. Under International Law armenia has been illegally occupying the area and the adjacent areas for more than 25 years. You can adjacent areas for more than 25 years. You can see adjacent areas for more than 25 years. You can see why some people. That is not true. Polemic look at International Law, look at the resolutions. But you see again, many people unfortunately if you will allow me. There is no such International Law. You have spoken with Vladimir Putin four times as the started. He spoke to them again la st the started. He spoke to them again last night. If armenian territory is attacked, with russias support you militarily . There is a contractual framework on those treaties set out that indeed, the territory of the republic of armenia in case of them that thread defined under certain parameters, riches shall uphold certain security commitments.

The plane landed in siberia where he was hospitalized and his friends and family pushed for him to be transported as soon as possible to germany for medical care.

Donald trump has spent the last few months threatening to shut down tiktoks us business that hasnt happened and it looks like theres a coordinated effort on tiktok to support him. This is the account of the pro trump conservative hype house. It has 1. 5 million followers that makes it one of the biggest political accounts on tiktok. In mid september, it started publishing videos directing users to download the trump app and encouraging them to sign up to text alerts from the Trump Campaign and to do so using a special hype house code. Heres one example. What did you say . Sophia smith galer, bbc world service. Does the bespoke text code suggest the Trump Campaign is working with this account . Yes, you are right. In order to text the donald Trump Campaign, you have to do so with the recognised keycode that would been programmed by their campaign team. It is the acronym for this conservative high palace and it isa this conservative high palace and it is a recognised code. What does that mean . That means there is something called ab testing possibly going on within the donald Trump Campaign and thatis within the donald Trump Campaign and that is marketing speak for testing with its messages, they are not only giving the campaign their phone number, the campaign will also ask for their zip code and they will know they are tick tock user and this is micro targeting. Know they are tick tock user and this is microtargeting. Stay with us. Next i want to look at this pro biden account, the biden digital coalition. Its a tiktok account run by volunteers who describe themselves as campaign adjacent. And we know the official Biden Campaign has been in touch with them. The video im about to show you was posted after the first president ial debate and has been viewed more than 12 million times. Unlike facebook and google, tiktok does not allow political ads. But so long as no money changes hands, users can voice support however they chose. Sophia, what kind of role is tiktok playing in this Election Campaign . It is important to highlight because we assume that they are not paid. If they were paid, there will be electioneering and violate tick tock Community Guidelines that paid political advertising is not allowed on the app but as you say, Grassroots Organisation and volu nta ry Grassroots Organisation and voluntary groups could post content and they actually told me that tick tock is giving them the highest engagement out of all the digital platforms and that tells you how useful a platform it can be for campaigns to send out messages that resonate well. I always assumed tick tock was a place we go to escape politics, to escape life. It isa escape politics, to escape life. It is a Creative Space in the political space. That is what ticktock would like you to think and they said they are home for light hearted entertainment, but of the last few yea rs, entertainment, but of the last few years, they have become a big home for self expression, socialjustice, black lives matter absolutely catapulted on the platform when they sifted up as a trend and so it really has become a home for political opinion, just as much as it is for dancing, lip sinks and the rest. Thank you very much for showing that story with us. The bbc news website where we can get analysis with much more election coverage and follow us on twitter and you also get plenty more on her work with tick tock. Good evening. Tuesdays been a showery day, but the further east, a little more shelter and fewer showers meant a little more sunshine, as you can see across north yorkshire. Threatening looking cloud though for much of the day. In parts of west wales, rough seas as the winds gust close to gale force along the exposed coasts. We started off with sharp showers, particularly out to the west. Some of those drifted their way steadily eastward through the day. They will ease down and well see a window of finer weather developing for wednesday. However, just want to point out this mass of cloud out in the atlantic. More rain to come across parts of england and wales in particular for thursday and friday. So the showers will ease overnight. We keep 1 2 sharp showers into the far northwest of scotland. But where skies continue to clear, temperatures may well get down into single figures. It could be a chilly start to wednesday, but a good deal of sunshine will be around. We keep that brisk northwesterly wind feeding the showers here. And as we go through the afternoon, the sunshine turns increasingly hazy with patchy rain pushing into southwest england and south wales. Ahead of it though, temperatures widely peeking into the mid teens. But its through wednesday evening and overnight towards thursday morning that we will see a spell of yet more heavy and persistent rain. We will need to keep an eye on that after events that we had over the weekend. That will gradually drift its way steadily eastwards, but this weather front may well linger for a time, bringing the potential for further pulses of wet weather particularly across parts of southern england. So we start off on thursday morning on a wet note, hopefully that frontal system leaves away. We need to keep an eye on that and how quickly it eases away, allowing for some brightness depending on the temperatures. If we get more sunshine, we could see 17 celsius the showers and the cooler feel continuing in the far northwest of scotland. Friday still brings the risk of yet more rain, particularly across england and wales. But the weekend shows signs of improvement and thats because we have an area of High Pressure slowly pushing in from the atlantic. It means that for the start of the weekend, we could see some wetter weather running down through east coast, but a northerly wind will kick in, meaning it will feel noticeably cooler as well as we head towards the weekend. Fewer showers but a brisk, cold wind. This is bbc news. The headlines at eight. A sharp rise in the number of people admitted to hospital with coronavirus. New restrictions for scotla nd coronavirus.
