Donald Trump's coronavirus diagnosis has changed America already; And why did an MP with Covid take a train trip?

The White House is insisting it's business as usual in the Oval Office, with Donald Trump continuing to work despite testing positive for coronavirus. But, already there are signs the country's going through a political and cultural upheaval. Julie Norman, from UCL's US Politics Centre tells us how the second debate with Joe Biden hangs in the balance, and even the election date of November 3rd is in doubt. It also looks like the President's previously mask-wary supporters are now more likely to take precautions, including mail-in voting.


The UK has its own coronavirus row with SNP MP Margaret Ferrier admitting she took a 500-mile train trip after being diagnosed with the infection. She also gave a speech inside the House of Commons despite suffering symptoms. The Evening Standard's political correspondent Sophia Sleigh says members of the House, and staff in Parliament, are furious at her "recklessness" and the actions once more risk the public losing trust in its politicians at a time when they're being asked to follow an ever increasing lockdown rulebook.
