not sure if we have well mike hanna or we well ok well we hope to speak to mike hanna in a bit of course this after president trump arrived at the walter reed medical center information that we have that moment suggests that he has been moved that as a precaution and it is very important that we really the president and his team making a point that you can see him thumbs up at the cameras waving at the cameras walking to the helicopter on a did so clearly a political statement just weeks before the election to show that he is strong and healthy and far and trying to really diminish the possibility of being possibly a temporarily transfer of power to the vice president which is what would happen should the president be incapacitated under the 25th amendment of the u.s. constitution but these are just the images we had a little bit earlier of president trump boarding that a culture and take about 10 minutes to land at walter reed because it is very close it would be a 20 minute drive but perhaps it would be this is a suggestion is that because of traffic or perhaps just for efficiency he u

hanna in washington d.c. mike so the f.b.i. have been giving this rare press conference an interference in the u.s. election what more they've been saying. but i did hear the f.b.i. and the director of national intelligence holding what they called a very important news conference the details being released indicate according to the f.b.i. that 2 foreign players iran and russia had been actively interfering in the selection they do not have any evidence directly connected to russia at this point they say however they insist that iran is behind a series of emails that has been sent to democratic voters undercutting president trump and attempting to incite social unrest the f.b.i. saying that americans should not be concerned about those the situation is being watched but just not to panic if such an e-mail is received this is what the director of national intelligence john ratcliffe had to say. we have identified that 2 foreign actors iran and russia have taken specific actions to influence public opinion rela

hanna in washington d.c. mike so what are we to make of these claims by the f.b.i. in this press conference now significant is the timing of all of this mike. but it was certainly a very dramatic news conference hosted by the director of national intelligence along with the director of the f.b.i. intelligence sources for a long period of time have been warning that russia is involving itself in the us electoral process just as it did back in 2016 when president trump won the election however on this particular occasion though both the director of national intelligence and the director of the f.b.i. insisting that iran is playing a major role in this interference as well alleging that iranian agents had been sending e-mails to democratic party supporters with the aim of undercutting president trump and for mentoring social dischord this is what the director of national intelligence has to say. we have identified that 2 foreign actors iran and russia have taken specific actions to influence public opinion relat

hanna who is in washington d.c. for us good to see you mike so do we have any idea of what these new rules might involve. at this stage it's not very clear the commission a bipartisan body says that it wants to alter the structure of the debates now there has been suggestions for example that microphones could be switched off that the structure as we saw in the past 24 hours we each candidate is given 2 minutes to speak on each subject followed by what's supposed to be a free discussion but i must point out very quickly that the next debate that is shared george is a very different format from what happened in the 1st one this will be in the form of a town hall in florida where it is the audience asking questions rather than the moderator so this may alter the way the commission thinks about what it's going to do next the 3rd and final debate goes back to exactly the structure that we saw in the past 24 hours so that is the debate that the commission will be looking at to find some way in which a clear coherent disc

hanna he's joining us from there so what is the treatment plan for the president's mike. well we've had one question on sid and that is that we simply do not know at this particular point but a spokesperson for the walter reed medical center has issued a statement saying that any inquiries as to the president's treatment have to be referred to the white house press office so basically at this stage we do not know what kind of treatment the president will be receiving in the days to come what we do know is that any information will come out of the white house press office now all indications are that there will not be any more information coming out in the course of the evening now throughout the day it was mainly the press office or president's political spokespeople who were giving information about the development of the coronavirus and the president only at one stage did a medical expert actually give out information and that was to confirm the use of an experimental anti body drug which the president was given one dose of so at this stage it doesn't appear that any mo

let's cross to mike hanna who's standing by for us in maryland and mike the view clearly from the president's doctors point of view at least is that the president is doing very well. yes indeed of doctors giving a very healthy prognosis for the president's recovery from coburg 19 at the same time nic a number of questions have been raised here you heard in that sound bite from the president's personal physician 72 hours since diagnosis is what the president's personal physician said that would mean that diagnosis happened on wednesday now we've approached the white house because remembering that the president traveled widely on thursday 2 before confirming at 1 o'clock friday morning that he had been diagnosed positive the white house have responded to us by saying that dr meant it's day 3 not 72 hours diagnosis was made on thursday night ridgeon around administered later that night 2 days ago not 48 hours ago so here we've got a bit of a problem about timelines the white house saying that the diagnosis was made on thursday however the doctor saying it's 72 hours since diagnosis so that is th

mike hanna joins us from outside walter reed medical military medical center in bethesda so mike trumps doctor statement seems to have raised as many questions as a dancer saying the president was 72 hours into his diagnosis which would have been midday on wednesday. indeed yes it's all very confusing you heard there from the president's personal physician 72 hours since diagnosis it was also mentioned that it was 48 hours since a cocktail was it ministered to president trump however the personal physician has now attempted to walk these back he's issued a statement saying that what he meant was that the diagnosis occurred within the past 3 days and that the antibody cocktail was administered within the past 2 days so once again very confusing you mentioned as well as statement by somebody close to president saying that his vital signs in the past 24 hours were alarming and that the next 48 hours are critical now we now know the name of that have facial and that's the chief of staff mark medders so certainly there piers to be a disconnect between that very rosy prognosis given by the do

hanna al-jazeera but that's. and just a few moments ago donald trump tweeted this video from the walter reed medical center let's let's listen and this is america this is the united states this is the greatest country in the world this is the most powerful country in the world i can't be locked up your room upstairs and totally safe and just say hey whatever happens happens i can't do that we have to confront problems as a leader you have to confront problems is never been a great leader that would have done that so that's where it is i'm doing well i want to thank everybody our 1st lady is doing very well melania asked me to say something as to the respect that she has for our country the love that she has for our country and we're both doing well of money is really handling it very nicely as you've probably read she's slightly younger than me just a little tiny bit and therefore just we know the disease we know the situation with age versus younger people and their money is handling it statistically like it's s

can be administered to a patient who is not part of a clinical trial mike hanna al-jazeera but those don't. so what are the treatments being given to the president for rendez if there is an antiviral drug that was previously tested for a bowler it's not approved by the u.s. struggle thirty's but it is being allowed to treat patients with severe kovac 19 and is the only medicine proven to help severely ill people recover more quickly 4 days on average according to one study of the same data does not reduce fatalities and the other treatment is an experimental antibody combination made by it with general the company says its trials the cocktail reduces viral load and associated symptoms is also unapproved but the company can grant access for compassionate use simon clark is an associate professor in microbiology at the university of reading and he explains how some of these antiviral drugs work. well as i understand it he's taken with general and given regenerative that were written this is there now they need 2 quite different things re general and as i understand it it's an antibody

hanna al-jazeera but that's. so as i mentioned in the past hour trump released a new video on twitter about his condition take a look at what he had to say 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 we've done an awfully good job of that but we still have steps to go and we have to finish that job and i'll be back i think i'll be back soon and i would vote to finishing up the campaign the way it was started in the way we've been doing the kind of numbers that we've been doing we've been so proud of it but this was something that happened and it's happened to millions of people all of the world and i'm fighting for them not just in the u.s. i'm fighting for them all over the world we're going to be this coronavirus or whatever you want to call it it would be that soundly so many things have happened if you look at the therapeutics which i'm taking right now some of them and others are coming out soon that are looking like

hanna in washington d.c. that was a pretty extraordinary statement wasn't might from someone who has been sick in hospital with the fires for 3 days and he said 24 hours ago that he learned a lot about his. indeed yes well it's a very incredible statement indeed given the fact that you still have a president who is carrying the infection we heard from his doctors there he's not out of the woods yet they are into uncharted territory say of the doctors partially because of the incredibly mixture of therapeutic drugs that he's been given experimental antiviral cocktails rimmed disappear the steroids so certainly the doctors themselves are saying well this is a pretty unique case in terms of the treatment we've administered we've got to monitor that very closely and yet president trump there appears to be implying that he's already conquered the virus you heard that statement that maybe i'm immune but at the same time we know that he remains infected we don't know when he was actually infected in the 1st place th

hanna al-jazeera but that's. let's just listen in to what trump had said in his video statement i came here wasn't 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 we've done an awfully good job of that but we still have steps to go and we have to finish that job and i'll be back i think i'll be back soon and i look forward to finishing up the campaign the way we started in the way we've been doing the kind of numbers that we've been doing we've been so proud of it so i just want to tell you that i'm starting to feel good. we don't know over the next period of a few days i guess that's the real test so we'll be seeing what happens over those next couple next couple of days but i had no choice because i just didn't want to stay in the white house i was given that alternative stay in the white house lucky self in don't ever leave don't even go to the oval office just stay upstairs and enjoy it don't see people don't t

hanna who's outside the hospital where president trump is being treated 1st things 1st mike is there any change in the president's condition. but we haven't had any early morning bulletins about the president the last we heard was when the president himself tweeted out that video in the middle of the evening saying that he's feeling well but saying too that the next 2 days are critical now that's an opinion shared by his chief of staff mark meadows who has told reporters that the symptoms or the vital statistics off the president were deeply disturbing in the past 24 hours and saying too that the next 2 days are critical but as you mentioned that's a very different view from what we heard from the president's personal doctors in the past 24 hours saying that he's doing well it was a rather rosy prognosis saying that his vital signs were good that he's got oxygen levels were high that he was moving around in the course of the evening to the white house released some photographs of the president supposedly working while in that executive suite in the walter reed hospital here behind me

as a whole mike hanna al-jazeera washington. u.s. president donald trump is facing condemnation for calling off negotiations over a new coronavirus stimulus package talks had been underway with the democrats but the president has been on twitter saying he'll only pass the bill after he wins the election u.s. stock markets fell by around 2 percent following the news house democrats to pass the 2.2 trillion dollar relief bill on thursday but senate republicans have rejected it live to our white house correspondent kimberly hellcat just looking at mr trump on twitter he was on twitter 12 minutes ago where he is accusing joe biden of staging a coup his words not mine and he's also in his tweet from 30 minute 31 minutes ago he's saying vote trump california is somebody checking his meds. i think you've really hit the nail on the head in terms of the fact that the president is has always been somewhat erratic on twitter but this since he was diagnosed with covert 19 and return to the white house seems to be the most erratic in terms of top

hanna reports. the entrance to the walter reed medical center is cordoned off a small group of the president's supporters standing vigil outside in mid-morning a following some doctors and nurses appeared to give a briefing on the president's condition. the general prognosis was highly positive but a statement by the president's personal physician raises questions about the timeline of diagnosis just 72 hours into the diagnosis now the 1st week of code in a particular day some to 10 of the most critical in determining the likely course of this illness another of the consulting physician said the experimental antibody cocktail regeneration was administered 48 hours ago we're working very closely with the company to monitor him the statements all to the timeline substantially placing initial diagnosis on wednesday and saying that dose suffer a general was administered 24 hours earlier than the white house said it was in response to calls for clarity the president's personal physician has issued a stat

hanna in washington d.c. bringing us up to date with events of the last hour or so well let's hear from vice president mike pence who spoke to donald trump just before he left hospital here's what pence told journalists about that. president told me he was headed back to the white house he told me david do you john we're looking very much for the vice presidential debate. stakes in this election and never been higher joy never been here and i look forward to the article. take on. the reform for years the president donald trump in the wind. and now we'll hear from the gallagher our correspondent in miami florida that's where u.s. democratic nominee joe biden has been campaigning. well there are many things that the vice president joe biden could have said about president while he was here in florida he could have said that the president mocked him during the presidential debate telling him he shouldn't be wearing a mask but he hasn't taken that tactic what joe biden is doing is saying we should have science as

let's talk to mike hanna in washington d.c. markets it's another one of those sort of where do we start moments this was actually a full 4 minute video there was so much in there but let's go with this idea of treatment 1st of all donald trump seems to think it was a blessing that he got the coronavirus because he learned about this treatment and he wants to make it free for everyone. well indeed here she's talking principle. the antiviral cocktail read gen on which has not yet been approved it hasn't even been to final clinical trials see it as a drug still in development but president trumpet heard about it he says and told the doctors that he wants to have it now the idea of making it free to all americans well that may be a bridge too far at this particular point in time there's no idea of what the drug would cost because it is nowhere near coming on the market and the founders of the general in the company that produces this cocktail have made very clear in recent days that their focus is to get enough supplies of the drug

he was instead fired for disregarding the chain of command so let's check in with mike hanna in washington about 7 in the evening there on the u.s. east coast i might start with some developing news 1st of all not just at the pentagon but once again in the inner circle of donald trump at the white house. very much in the inner circle reports indicate that steven miller who is a very close adviser of the president has now tests to a positive for the coronavirus miller has been in close proximity of the president for a long period of time he was also in close proximity to some of the other assistance to the president to have tested positive in recent days and certainly that list is growing and growing indeed kemal a large number of members of the president's staff now have tested positive a number of journalists who work there and as well as a number of military aides it is said who are also working at the white house one military aide in particular is the person who shares the responsibility for carrying those nuclear codes of what is called the football so once again you appear to be widen

hanna he's joining us from the walter reed national medical center where trump as we've been reporting has been admitted so mike what are you hearing about the president and his condition. well at the moment 3 president touched down 5 in the walter reed medical center a short while ago in marine force one close to one of the gates of the tent i was able to watch as the president's got out and assisted walk down the steps and then got into a waiting black car and he's now being driven to the comp center of the complex where we expect will believe all are told that he will be put in a suite that has been specially prepared for him to allow him to continue to work according to his job over the next 4 days a period that they say is just the time that he will be spending here one of the questions that we attempting to find the officer to is whether information about his condition is going to be coming from his stock or whether in fact it will be coming from the hospital authorities who are obviously in direct control of monitoring him from this particular point on which it will be from his
