thanks for that u.s. president donald trump has briefly left the hospital where he's being treated for coronavirus to do a drive by the hundreds of his supporters gathered outside one doctor working at the walter reed hospital said the responsibility of the move was astounding. medics revealed trumps oxygen levels dropped briefly on both friday and saturday john hendren reports. i it was perhaps the most brazen campaign stop in u.s. history a candidate so sick with a potentially lethal virus that he has taken an experimental cocktail of drugs and at least twice supplemental oxygen sneaking out of his hospital room and into a hermetically sealed as u.v. with 2 secret service agents waving at the fans lined up outside as his motorcade took a victory lap on both sides of the street he tweeted a video explaining why i also think we're going to pay a little surprise to some of the great patriots that we have out on the street and

information that might steer the course of illness in another direction and in doing so you know it came off that we're trying to hide something that was innocently true i feel much better now in a video tweet president trump said he was feeling well as sentiment supported by his doctors who are now saying he might return to the white house is soon as monday but dr sean connelly confirmed what he would not in the 1st public briefing that the president received supplementary oxygen on at least 2 occasions the 1st on friday he was not short of breath he was tired had the fever that was about it and after about a minute on only 2 leaders his situation levels were back over 40 over 95 percent. stayed on that for about an hour maybe it was off and gone another critical piece of information that the president is now receiving this steroids dexa met his own which is recommended only for critical care the tech cement the zone use again is

extremely extremely worrying sign their veto it says it's only use for critical and severe patients it actually recommends against people who are not serious and i also said only for serious patients who are i don't ventilators or supplemental oxygen which trump does barely 54 so he's on a really bad trajectory i don't know if tomorrow smiles a little premature destroy questions continue about contact tracing in the wake of president trump's movements earlier in the week the white house says it is directing this in cooperation with the centers for disease control teen. but many who are at this crowded rose garden last saturday say they have not been contacted authorities in minnesota where president trump visited on wednesday say they have launched their own contact tracing program in the absence of any white house direction a similar situation happening in new jersey from which the president returned after

cautious about what information they share that said they've been very forthcoming in listing the cocktail of medications which are a combination of a antibody an engineered monoclonal antibody treatment that is. experimental dexamethasone which is generally reserved for patients who appear to be very severely ill and have a worsening condition with a need for supplemental oxygen. and the room does appear as is has been approved for emergency use authorization it is a little bit it seems to be a little bit of a scatter shot method from the outside just trying a bit of everything which doesn't really match with the reports that his condition is is pretty mild in that he's good he's improving quickly u.s. attorney general william barr has gone into south quarantine as a precaution after coming into contact with several republican politicians who

11:17 am
accusations a vote rigging on monday we can speak to all correspondent charles stratford who is live for us in the capital bishkek charles i believe some of those protests have started already. that's right the last 34 hours now we saw fit to see the build up of these protests this protest here but say we're looking at about 3000 people here in the main square they've been a number of speeches given by opposition party members and as you were saying there's a lot of unhappiness about yesterday's parliamentary election and that comes obviously of today's about occasions and some strong evidence of vote by. these protesters calling for the protests to continue until the election results. we spoke to one person or we speak of here as people here but one person was saying
11:18 am
that they felt as if their voices had been stolen by the government the government or the pro-government policies of trying to divide the country to in his words make make people here hate each other and interestingly a leader of the the only opposition party to break the 7 percent threshold which gives them seats in parliament just breaking out i think by 7 point one percent a party called kyrgyzstan. we seem to have lost connection to charles traffic speaking to us from bishkek actually i think we may happen let's see if we can return back to bishkek and charles trafford. so charles you were talking to us about the un happiness i think protesters. what's also interesting is there actually a number of pro-government parties that are in the lead could there be any rivalry
11:19 am
between those parties. yeah that's what a lot of people are asking a very interesting question here i mean just to give you some idea. one of the most powerful pro-government parties a party called manichean kyrgyzstan is believed to be backed by a clan leader here who is very powerful in the south a man called. of now he's some. his or his son is a candidate in this party. this is a clan that is very powerful is very wealthy the leader of the clan is the former head of deputy head of customs here. and he actually is rumored to have burnt the presidential campaign of the current president because in 2017 there are people who now. may well be looking for some sort of payback from the president he
11:20 am
also has very powerful allies of some pretty g.b.'s characters in the north of the country one man. a man called. a call by. is a convicted murderer who was supposed to the 25 year sentence for managed to get out of that was also convicted for kidnapping and human trafficking and served a 3 year jail term that. he and the the american policy. very close so as we go forward there are questions as to whether you know rivalries between pro-government parties especially when a kid starts to appear which again a new dimension to these kind of protests and the potential greater political instability to these elections. many thanks for that charles strafford in
