President Trump and Melania were detected with the virus two weeks ago. "Naturally my mind went immediately to our son, luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms," Melania Trump said in a statement.

Trump at a campaign rally in Iowa said: "I don't even think he knew he had it, because they're young and their immune systems are strong and they fight it off."

The US president had earlier spent three days at the Walter Reed hospital in Washington after which he returned to the White House as doctors cleared him to begin campaigning for the US elections which takes place on November 3.

"Barron's fine," Trump said later as the nation continues to battle the virus. Meanwhile, Melania Trump said her symptoms were "minimal" while adding that she hoped to resume her duties "as soon as I can."

"I experienced body aches, a cough and headaches, and felt extremely tired most of the time," the First Lady said, adding, "I chose to go a more natural route in terms of medicine, opting more for vitamins and healthy food."

"In one way I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together," Melania Trump said.

In an emergency decree, the Thai government also banned publication of "sensitive" news. The country has been hit by large scale protests against Prime Minister <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/protesters-in-thailand-demand-pm-prayuts-removal-reforms-in-monarchy-328656">Prayuth Chan-ocha</a> and the monarchy with demonstrators demanding political reforms and constitutional changes.

The emergency decree issued by the government took effect at 4 am (2100 GMT) as riot police moved in outside government house as reports said at least three protest leaders were arrested.

"These are orders banning gatherings of five or more people... and banning distributing of news through electronic media that can affect national security," the government said in a statement.

Earlier on Wednesday, the nation's capital was hit with large scale protests demanding the Prime minister Prayuth Chan-ocha's resignation. The demonstration was meant to commemorate the 47th anniversary of 1973 student uprising in which at least 77 people were killed.&nbsp;

Several anti-government protesters demonstrated against the royal motorcade carrying King Maha Vajiralongkorn as police moved in to erect barriers and roadblocks.&nbsp;

Police had earlier cordoned off the protesters from the royal route, however, there were several who still protested as the country's King passed by as protesters chanted "get out" at police protecting the vehicle.

Thailand issues emergency decree amid anti-government protests

The coronavirus pandemic upended Pamela Walsh’s life. It shut down her office, leaving her working at home from a folding table. It forced her to turn her dining room into a Zoom classroom for her 7-year-old son. And the virus propelled a still more unlikely change: It led Walsh to run for public office.

“It wasn’t even on my radar screen,” said Walsh, 47, a political adviser in Concord, New Hampshire, who has long worked for Democrats but never before considered seeking elective office herself. Months of supervising elementary school lessons from home, with little idea of when her son would return to school, convinced Walsh that she should vie for a seat on her local school board.

“I decided I needed a voice like mine on the board,” Walsh said in a phone interview, which she muted periodically as her son called out for her and at one point thumped a bat on a chair. “Everyone is struggling right now a bit and needs to be represented by how these policies impact real families.”

By some measure, all politics is virus politics in 2020, and the federal government’s handling of COVID-19 has become an explosive issue in the presidential race, which has been further complicated by President Donald Trump’s own hospitalization for the virus.

Yet around the nation, there are local and state races in which the pandemic has also taken an outsize role. In some cases, the virus has been the reason for running; in others, handling of the pandemic has become the defining issue, eclipsing ordinary matters of taxes and services.

The virus — and the government’s response to it — has inspired parents, hair salon owners and others to run for the first time, turned sleepy races into competitive matches and injected a level of unpredictability and rancor into normally tranquil down-ballot contests.

“This is an issue that no one expected to be one of the pillars of this election, but it has clearly become one,” said Robert Griffin, research director for the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group, which is partnering with academics at UCLA to poll about 6,000 Americans each week leading up to the election.

Trump’s own bout with COVID-19 only intensified some of the debates over the issue in lower races. “If you, Mr. President, have the best health system in the world and bodyguards and the whole thing, and you still get it, what does that say for us at the local level who are trying to figure out what to do with our children?” asked José Luis Bedolla, 50, who said he was motivated to run for the school board in Berkeley, California, because of the pandemic.

Candidates’ own cases of the virus have created all sorts of uncertainty for political races, yanking campaigns off the trail and into quarantine during crucial weeks and confounding political strategists, who have little precedent to lean on as they try to figure out how voters will respond.

In North Carolina, a race that could help decide control of the U.S. Senate was thrust further into limbo this month when Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican, tested positive for the coronavirus after attending a White House ceremony. At the same time, his opponent, Cal Cunningham, is contending with a texting scandal.

In Missouri, where average new daily cases have risen sixfold since mid-June, the governor’s race is being defined in no small part by the pandemic. Gov. Mike Parson, the incumbent Republican who is leading in the polls, had resisted requiring people to wear masks and at times campaigned without one. Then last month, he came down with the virus himself.

As Parson was sidelined, his Democratic opponent, Nicole Galloway, wished him well while also soliciting donations in an effort to remind voters of their dueling positions on the virus. An online ad showed her wearing a blue mask, side-by-side with a barefaced Parson.

“Gov. Parson has failed this test, and it’s apparent,” Galloway said in an interview. An accountant by training and the current state auditor, she has made public health a key issue in Zoom appearances, uses elbow bumps on the campaign trail and has said she will issue a mask requirement if elected.

Elsewhere, conservatives have made their opposition to mandates on masks and business closings the center of blossoming campaigns.

In Washington state, a small-town police chief has made Gov. Jay Inslee’s handling of the pandemic a top issue in a long-shot bid to become the state’s first Republican governor since the 1980s. The chief, Loren Culp, has criticized Inslee, a Democrat, as a “job killer” and is drawing a contrast by holding rallies where masks are not required.

 
In Texas, a salon owner who was jailed this spring for defying shutdown orders quickly became an anti-lockdown hero for the political right. The owner, Shelley Luther, spoke at rallies, gave Sen. Ted Cruz a haircut and donned a T-shirt emblazoned with the popular Texas rallying cry “Come and Take It” — except in place of a cannon, there was a blow dryer.

Now Luther, a former high school teacher who has never held public office, is running as a Republican for a seat in the Texas state Senate.

She has put Gov. Greg Abbott’s handling of the pandemic and his virus-related restrictions at the forefront of her campaign. The outrage over her jailing was so intense that Abbott, a fellow Republican, softened his own shutdown orders and removed confinement as a punishment.

Running in a largely rural Republican district northwest of Dallas, Luther has called Abbott “our tyrant governor” at campaign events. One of her ads showed the black-and-white security footage of the moment she was handcuffed as she looks into the camera and says, “I fought back, and they backed down.”

“It’s about time that we the people take this back into our hands and let the government know that they work for us and they should not be telling us what to do like this,” Luther said last month on the talk show “America, Can We Talk?”

And then there was this wrinkle: Her main opponent, a Republican lawmaker, state Rep. Drew Springer, was sidelined for days during the race; he had to quarantine after his wife tested positive for the virus. Luther won 164 more votes than Springer during a recent special election, and the two are now in a runoff set for December to represent Prosper, Texas, a Dallas suburb that is one of the fastest-growing areas in the state.

Restrictions to control the spread of the virus — or the lack of such restrictions — have become motivating factors in races of all sizes.

Adrian Perkins, the mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, had no plans — and no money — to run for U.S. Senate at the start of this year. But he grew increasingly frustrated as the coronavirus swept through his city, sickening thousands and leaving many others unemployed. He tried ordering everyone to wear masks but got sued for that.

So Perkins, a 34-year-old Army veteran and Harvard Law School graduate, began a last-minute, long-shot bid to go to Washington, where he felt he could have more sway. He announced his candidacy in July, two days before the registration deadline.

“No sane person launches a Senate campaign on purpose with just 110 days,” said Perkins, a Democrat who is running to unseat Bill Cassidy, the senior Republican senator from Louisiana. (Cassidy, a medical doctor, tested positive and recovered from the coronavirus this summer.)

Perkins’ campaign said he has raised $1 million in just a few months, but his odds are long. His opponent, who already had more than $6 million on hand by the time Perkins entered the race, has a solid lead in a mostly red state.

But the long shot is worth it to Perkins, who grew up in Shreveport and described the federal government’s missteps in response to the pandemic as the reason for his campaign.

“Without the coronavirus, I wouldn’t be running,” he said, adding, “It’s people’s lives that were on the line.”

Lai, 71, was earlier arrested in August under the national security law which was imposed by China in June.

"The police didn't even wait for the lawyer to come before they took things away, so that's not rule of law," Lai said.

The officials reportedly left before lawyers arrived on the scene. "They just wanted to get something to go against me," Lai said.

Lai is the owner of Apple Daily which is Hong Kong's most popular tabloid. Hong Kong police had earlier arrested Lai over suspicion of "colluding" with foreign forces under the national security law as police searched his tabloid office.&nbsp;

The charges against Lai included "incitement to secession", "collusion with foreign forces" and "terrorism acts".

Last month Lai had appeared in West Kowloon Magistrates' Court along with several high profile campaigners over a banned vigil to mark the Tiananmen Square crackdown.

Kyrgyzstan's President Sooronbay Jeenbekov resigned on Thursday amid political unrest in the country.

"I am not clinging to power. I do not want to go down in the history of Kyrgyzstan as a president who allowed bloodshed and shooting on its people. I have taken the decision to resign," the president said.

Protesters had hit the streets after October 4 parliamentary election in which Jeenbekov's allies were declared winners. The election was later annulled.

"The military and security forces will be obliged to use their weapons to protect the state residence. Blood will be inevitably shed. I urge both sides not to fall for provocations," Jeenbekov said as he decided to step down.

Jeenbekov had said earlier that he would resign after the announcement of fresh elections. As the unrest continued, Russian President Vladimir Putin's deputy chief of staff Dmitry Kozak arrived in the country for talks with Jeenbekov and Opposition leader Japarov.

The clashes on the streets have led to at least 1,200 people being injured with one person killed as Jeenbekov imposed a state of emergency on Friday.

On Wednesday, over 80 lawmakers had attended an extraordinary Parliament session as Japarov secured the backing of the ruling coalition who backed the populist leader as the new prime minister.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos space company Blue Origin conducted successful test flight of New Shepard capsule aimed at taking tourists to space.

Blue Origin tested the New Shepard capsule which remained in the air for over ten minutes and attained altitude 106 kilometers above sea level and which descended to the surface using parachutes and then landing in the West Texas desert.

"This is the seventh consecutive successful flight to space and back for this fully reusable rocket," the company said on Twitter.

There were no passengers onboard the current trip.&nbsp;

The previous test flight of the rocket had taken place back in December last year and it was due to test it again in April but it was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic in the United States.&nbsp;

Blue Origin had earlier said that it sees "New Shepard as an important source of inspiration for the public as it works to make Bezos' dream of millions of people living and working in space a reality."

However, the company hasn't disclosed the price of the tickets for the voyage. Last year, Virgin Galactic had shown the interior of its spaceship, however, both companies have not revealed when the new tourist spaceships will enter commercial service.

The Blue Origin rocket hopes to carry at least six passengers who would be placed on horizontal backrests which would include multiple cameras to capture every second of a passenger's journey in outer space.
