President Trump is being taken to Walter Reed Military Hospital - the White House says he will work from presidential offices there.

Walter Reed is well known for treating presidents and top military officials – it’s known as the President’s Hospital.

In 2011, it moved from Washington DC to a new location in Bethesda, Maryland.

It has treated presidents and servicemen for more than a century.

Earlier this year Mr Trump visited wounded soldiers and health care workers at the hospital. It was the first time he was pictured wearing a face mask.

If President Trump becomes incapacitated, the US constitution says under the 25th amendment, a president can hand over power to the vice-president. This means Mike Pence would become acting president. Once fit again, Mr Trump could reclaim his position.

In the case that he is too unwell to hand over, the cabinet and vice-president could declare him unable to continue, and Mr Pence would assume the role.

There have been cases where a president has been incapacitated before. In 1985, when President Ronald Reagan was in hospital for cancer surgery, he placed his vice-president George HW Bush, in charge.

In 2002 and 2007, President George W Bush did the same with his vice-president when he was sedated during routine colonoscopies.

The White House says President Trump will continue to work while staying in hospital.

• White House physician Sean Conley also said the president was "fatigued but in good spirits," and that he was being evaluated by "a team of experts"
• Unnamed sources told CNN and Reuters news agency that Trump has a fever. He also has a cough and nasal congestion, two sources told the Washington Post. None of these symptoms have been officially confirmed.

More now on the news that President Trump is on his way to Walter Reed Military Hospital.

He will travel from the White House on helicopter Marine One.

“President Trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day. Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the president will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters.

“President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the First Lady,” she added.

Mr Trump was diagnosed with coronavirus earlier on Friday. Earlier today his physician said he was only suffering from mild symptoms.

US President Donald Trump is being taken to Walter Reed Medical Centre, in Maryland, following his diagnosis with coronavirus.

In the past hour Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has been speaking.

He said Mr Trump’s diagnosis was a “not a matter of politics, but a bracing reminder to all of us that we have to take this virus seriously”.

Mr Biden tested negative for Covid-19 on Friday after sharing the debate stage with him on Tuesday.

Urging Americans to wear masks, he said: “Be patriotic. It’s not about being a tough guy. It’s about doing your part."

The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) has said that two journalists and a White House staffer have tested positive for coronavirus, according to CNN.

Brian Stelter, CNN's chief media correspondent, shared the news in a series of tweets, citing two memos by the WHCA.

None of the three have been named. But the WHCA has reportedly said one of the journalists was last at the White House on Saturday and travelled on Air Force One that night to attend a rally in Pennsylvania.

The news has not yet been confirmed by the White House, or by either of the two journalists in question.

The release of the new James Bond film has been delayed again.

No Time To Die had been moved from April to November due to the pandemic.

It has been pushed back to 2 April "in order to be seen by a worldwide theatrical audience", according to a statement on the film's website.

No Time To Die is due to be Daniel Craig's final appearance as the British secret service agent.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has released an update on the president's health from his physician.

In a statement, Dr Sean Conley said the president was "fatigued but in good spirits". Meanwhile Melania Trump "remains well with only a mild cough and headache."

The remainder of the president's family have tested negative.

The US presidential election has been turned on its head.

That sentence could have been written about any number of moments in a tumultuous year in American politics, but nothing quite like this has occurred this year, this decade, this century.

Just 32 days before the presidential election, Donald Trump has tested positive for Covid-19. Given his age, 74, he is in a high-risk category for complications from the disease.

At the very least, he will have to quarantine while he is treated, meaning the US presidential contest - at least his side of it - has been fundamentally altered.

The initial implications are obvious. The president's rigorous campaign schedule - which included visits to Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina in just the past week - is on indefinite hold.

Trump will certainly have surrogates on the trail for him, but given that he has relied heavily on his family and senior administration and campaign officials for such tasks in the past, and many of them may have to quarantine because of their own exposure to the virus, that campaign operation will be disrupted as well.

• The same has been confirmed for Democratic election rival Joe Biden - who sparred with the president in a debate earlier this week - and for his running mate, Kamala Harris
• However, with the election only 32 days away, Trump's diagnosis has created issues for his campaign. All events involving the president are being moved to virtual ones, or being temporarily postponed

Canada is loosening some border restrictions, after largely being shut since March to most visitors.

People will now be allowed in if they are:

• Significant others of Canadian residents, even if they're not married
• Visiting a sick or dying relative
• An international student attending a school with an approved Covid-19 plan

Anyone entering the country from another country will still have to quarantine for 14 days.

Meanwhile, social circles in Ontario, Canada's most populous province, will shrink.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford told people to stop socialising outside of their household. Previously, the province had been allowed people to "bubble" in groups of 10.

City heath officials didn't think he went far enough. Toronto's chief medical officer said indoor dining and gyms need to close, and people should go back to only leaving their home for essential purposes.

Ontario saw 732 new cases today, breaking its previous record of 700 cases, on 28 September.

If you are just joining us here is what you have missed so far from around the UK today.

• Prime Minister Boris Johnson has suggested the recent spike in coronavirus cases has been the result of a "fraying of people's discipline" over the summer. After relaxing the rules over the summer the government has tightened restrictions with around 16.8 million people now under extra measures.
• The police have launched an investigation into SNP MP Magaret Ferrier who travelled from London to Scotland after testing positive for coronavirus. She has had the party whip removed and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she should resign as an MP.
• The prime minister has rejected a plea from the Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford to ban people from travelling to Wales from coronavirus hotspots. People living in locked down areas of Wales can only leave with a "reasonable excuse" but there is no equivalent rule elsewhere in the UK.
• In Newcastle, 770 students at Northumbria University have tested positive for Covid-19 and are now isolating along with flatmates and close contacts.
• In more positive news, data analysis suggests that new cases of the virus are increasing at a slower pace. But the R number, the rate at which the virus spreads, has increased to between 1.3 and 1.6.

As we told you earlier 770 students at Northumbria University, in the northern English city of Newcastle, have tested positive for coronavirus.

Self-isolating students are being provided with food, laundry, cleaning materials and welfare support by the university, which is working alongside the students' union and Newcastle City Council.

But the University and College Union, which represents lecturers, said it had warned the university it was too soon for a "mass return" to campus with the region having local restrictions in place.

Northumbria said students who missed out on face-to-face tuition will be given additional academic support but warned students who break the rules will face disciplinary action.

Ellie Burgoyne, 19, who studies social sciences, has been isolating since one of her flatmates tested positive a week ago.

She said: "The uni and accommodation have been great in providing support and keeping us as comfortable as possible as not leaving our flat for two weeks isn't the most fun."

News of President Trump's Covid-positive test result has come at the end of a busy week of campaigning, debating and events.

Here's where the president has been and who he's met over the past seven days.

The president’s economic advisor, Larry Kudlow, was not wearing a mask as he spoke with journalists in front of the West Wing - not at first.

Then I asked him about masks and so did another reporter. Mr Kudlow was soon fumbling with a mask, one he had brought along but had not put on. He tugged at it for a moment and then, wearing a mask, he looked up at the reporters as if to say: Happy now?

Mr Kudlow clearly was not - and neither was press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who spoke with us earlier, or the other staffers. They are trying to manage a barrage of questions about what is being done to control the spread of the virus here at the White House and beyond.

At the same time, they are in the midst of a complex contact-tracing effort as they try to track down those who were exposed to the virus so they can stop it from spreading further

Police in England are investigating a funeral attended by "400 or 500 people" despite government guidance only allowing 30 mourners.

Bedfordshire Police dispatched officers when "large crowds" gathered outside a church in Dunstable.

Conservative MP for the town Andrew Selous said he was very angry about the "flagrant breach" of rules at what he described as a "traveller funeral".

The police said officers "understand that people wish to pay their respects to their loved ones... but everyone needs to follow the rules".

Ch Insp Lee Haines said: "The funeral was initially attended by lower numbers of people, as planned, but larger crowds subsequently started gathering outside the church where the funeral was taking place."

News is just coming in from the Trump campaign that all previously announced events involving the president are in the process of being moved to virtual events or being temporarily postponed.

Bill Stepien, the Trump 2020 campaign manager, said in a statement that events involving members of the First Family are also being temporarily halted.

"All other campaign events will be considered on a case-by-case basis and we will make any relevant announcements in the days ahead," he said

"Vice-President Mike Pence, who has tested negative for Covid-19, plans on resuming his scheduled campaign events," he added.

In the wake of his diagnosis, people have been citing quotes from President Donald Trump about coronavirus - some true, others not.

We've pulled together a compilation of what Mr Trump has said about the virus this year, as America's outbreak continues to make headway.
