wins the men's race at the london marathon, after an incredible sprint to the finish line. hello and welcome to bbc news. president trump has spent a second night in hospital being treated for coronaviurus — this is the scene outside the walter reed national military medical center in bethesda, maryland. on saturday the president's doctor said he'd made "substantial progress" since being diagnosed, but he wasn't yet "out of the woods'. mr trump recorded a video message from hospital, saying the next few days would be the real test, but he was "starting to feel good." mixed messages have been coming from the white house though, with the president's chief of staff saying on saturday that the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of mr trump's care. here's peter bowes. donald trump's first

full day in hospital, a day of confusion and concern over the president's health with mixed messages coming from his doctors and the white house. and then, late in the day, a tweet from the president and another video, an update from mr trump on his condition. i came here, wasn't feeling so well. i feel much better now. we are working hard to get me all the way back. i have to be back. when he addressed reporters outside walter reed medical center earlier, the president's personal physician said mr trump's symptoms, a mild cough, nasal congestion and fatigue, were now resolving and improving. but he was vague on whether the president had needed oxygen at any point. has he ever been on supplemental oxygen? right now he is not on oxygen. you keep saying right now but should we read into the fact that he had been previously? yesterday and today he was not on oxygen. he has not been on it during his covid treatment? he's not on oxygen right now. it later emerged that mr trump had

received oxygen at the white house before he was admitted to hospital. there was further confusion when the white house chief of staff, mark meadows, indicated to reporters at the hospital that the president was still not on a clear path to a full recovery. there is a consensus that the next few days will be crucial. donald trump has been given two experimental drugs which it's hoped will speed up his recovery from covid—i9. i'm starting to feel good. you 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 of days. mr trump also sought to explain his decision not to shelter at home from the virus. i had no choice because ijust didn't want to stay in the white house. i was given that alternative. stay in the white house, lock yourself 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 talk to people and just be done with it. and i can't do that.

with the president in hospital, there is growing concern that more members of his inner circle are also testing positive for the virus. many of them attended what has been described as a super spreader event at the white house last weekend, when mr trump named his nominee for the vacant seat on the supreme court. they include the former governor of newjersey chris christie who has checked himself into hospital with a slight fever. this is a crisis that has engulfed the trump administration less than a month before the election. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. let's cross live now to the walter reed medical center — where mr trump is being treated — and speak to our correspondent lebo diseko. i see that washington correspondents are tweeting that the white house who is arrive there. does that mean a briefing on his condition could be

imminent? we are expecting an update very soon. we are not sure exactly when that might be but certainly thatis when that might be but certainly that is the indication we have. i am smiling because as we came to air there was music blasting out behind me. the gentleman had what looked like a big pile. the supporters who have come out here to show their support for donald trump r and a good mood. some swept overnight. 0ne senior couple told me they were here even before i was this morning. we wanted to be here before first light. we are definitely supporters of the president. we have here in the area. my husband is retired navy and we have been here to vet hospital many times for medical procedures, so it is familiar territory. i am here along with everybody else to support our president in his recovery. he has been here for us since before this

election. ijust been here for us since before this election. i just want been here for us since before this election. ijust want to make sure that he knows we are therefore him. lam here that he knows we are therefore him. i am here for my president and i wa nt i am here for my president and i want him to get well and i wish him well. also the first lady, i want her to get well and hearing the support and so on we are out here and care for him and we love him. the president's supporters. after yesterday's briefing by the president's position which seemed quite upbeat and then they white house chief of staff break that actually the president for my condition was more serious, how important is today's briefing in terms of having a clear and consistent message about the president's health? i think yesterday when we spoke around this timei yesterday when we spoke around this time i was saying that there is a whole lot of conspiracy theories and all sorts of things on social media so it was really important to have clear reliable information. as you know we had a

day where it was very confusing. it was very inconsistent information we we re was very inconsistent information we were being given. by the end of the day the message seemed an entirely different and much less upbeat than it had been from the president's physician at the start of the day, so physician at the start of the day, so yes, it will be really important to have clear, consistent information from the president's physician at this update that we are expecting in a few moments hopefully. we have just heard from the president's national security adviser who says the president wants to get back to work but will remain hospitalised for more time. as you we re hospitalised for more time. as you were saying, there is a lot of disinformation spreading about the president but the white house is at pains to project an image of the president at work, isn't it? absolutely. 0ur president at work, isn't it? absolutely. our partner cbs spoke with the national security adviser and he said there are no plans to

tra nsfer and he said there are no plans to transfer power to vice president mike pence. donald trump himself has tweeted pictures of him, a video of him working. his daughter ivanka trump tweeted a photo of him and put it on instagram said his work is relentless with his people so that is the message, that donald trump is working for the country and hasn't stopped and we have spoken about the fa ct stopped and we have spoken about the fact that this hospital has the facilities for him to keep working if his health allows. there is an office, an office for his chief of staff as well and he can even have conferences in a secure conference facility that he has at the hospital here. thank you. that briefing will ta ke here. thank you. that briefing will take place on the president because my condition, at 1530 gmt, about 20 minutes. the shot of the podium so we will be live there with that briefing when it happens.

well as we've heard , in the last hour, the us national security adviser, robert 0'brien, has been speaking. 0n the daily briefing, mark meadows andi 0n the daily briefing, mark meadows and i are in contact on a regular basis and we will be reaping the president this afternoon, so he is getting raped by his senior officials, i don't think we will have a daily brief herself brief we are expecting a president —— we are expecting a briefing. brief we are expecting a president —— we are expecting a briefingm could well be a routine statement. we just could well be a routine statement. wejust don't could well be a routine statement. we just don't know. we are told this is expected at about half past four

which will be about half past 11 in washington east coast. bear in mind yesterday we were expecting one yesterday we were expecting one yesterday which started at a different time. we will have to say but we will keep an eye on that and we will bring it to you as soon as somebody steps up to the podium. other news now, and here the prime minister has warned of what he called "bumpy months" ahead — with the prospect of a very tough winter for everyone because of coronavirus. borisjohnson also told the bbc he wanted people to behave "fearlessly but with common sense". labour's accused the government of having "lost control of the virus". here's our political correspondent nick eardley. his report contains some flashing images. a sign of these strange times. the prime minister arriving at the bbc wearing a face mask. getting his temperature checked. coronavirus has changed the way many of us live, but also how he governs.

boris johnson's strategy is increasingly under scrutiny. it was put to him that some are furious. they're furious at me and they're furious with the government. they are. but... but, but... you know, i've got to tell you, in all candour, it's going to continue to be bumpy through to christmas. it may even be bumpy beyond. there was more optimism about spring. but for now, mrjohnson admitted local restrictions — like those in place in liverpool — could be frustrating. the testing regime, he said, was not perfect, but he insisted balance was needed to protect health and the economy. fearlessly, but with common sense... fearlessly, but with common sense, to follow the guidance, whether national or local. get the virus down. but allow us, as a country, to continue with our priorities. the prime minister, who's faced questions about his own health, brushed off suggestions he was suffering from long—covid. no, not in my case. but questions about strategy are getting louder. some conservatives are unhappy with

the powers the government has used. i'm a freedom—loving tory. really? i don't want to have to impose... yeah, i don't want to have to impose measures like this. are you crazy? you know, this is the last thing we want to do, but i also have to save life. labour have questions too, claiming today the government has lost control of the pandemic, and calling for clearer plans. we need a strategy, we need a plan for those areas that are in lockdown. i mean, leicester's still in, i think, day 95 of lockdown, for goodness' sake. we need a plan, we need a strategy, and we need to give those families — and the businesses affected in those areas ‘ the reassurance that the government have got a grip and a plan to drive these infections down. nobody could have predicted some of the challenges boris johnson's government would face, but there are many more to come. nick eardley, bbc news. andy burnham is the labour mayor of greater manchester.

hejoins us now thank he joins us now thank you for being with us this afternoon. you were saying in an interview this morning we thought we had reached the point of the public in your part of the country losing faith in the messages they are getting from central government. how are you measuring that? what sort of sense are you getting on the ground that people are beginning to come disaffected? it is just that people are so fed up. we have been under restrictions without the support that is needed. i'll give you an example. in bolton businesses were closed for weeks, hospitality businesses, and yet there was no compensation for those businesses or the polo scheme but they could support. —— furlough. that is what will make patients run out. we are under local restrictions but without the local support that we need or local furlough scheme. the government does need now to do an urgent rethink of its local

lockdown policy. it needs to sit down with us and negotiate a new approach so that we can go into the winter with some confidence that we can support our communities through it. presumably your sense is that however this goes there will have to be more local lockdown is in particular areas where there are flare—ups and therefore do you want a more organised structure for how you make those decisions that currently exist, to ad hoc at the moment? i think that is pretty much it. you have said very clearly. we are not against working with the government on restrictions where they deem them to be necessary. my colleague steve rotherham has done that in liverpool last week but what he has also had to do is put its own support scheme in base businesses. you shouldn't have to do that. local restrictions should come with local support for businesses, to the council is affected, it should also come with local controls at the test and trace scheme. it is still not working. that is not good enough because what happens is you find yourself under local restrictions

but you don't have the ability to plot your own exit route out of those restrictions by getting the hold of a test and try system which isn't currently working. it is still only reaching about half of the contacts only reaching about half of the co nta cts of only reaching about half of the contacts of people testing positive. but where we are doing it, where our teams are doing it, reaching far higher numbers of people and i say to the government local restrictions should come with the ability for local areas to take control of the test and try system which simply isn't working. you address the labour partymy virtual conference last week and you were talking about in greater manchester we know the problem is real and we know the numbers are significant. you have also suggested that there has not been a stage where you felt the numbers are being low and low enough for people to relax all the way through this. yet at the same time you have been critical of things like this game to get people eating out to help out. there is real tension here, isn't there, because

of those businesses in your area we re of those businesses in your area were saying that is exactly what we needed, hospitality businesses you are saying just now that needed the kind of opportunity in order to be able to survive. to be honest with you, i think the money that was spent on it out to help out would have been better used creating a furlough scheme for the hospitality sector that could continue beyond 0ctober sector that could continue beyond october and continue to the winter. because obviously it out to help out through all the money people in august and i think it has ended up spreading the virus but it is also not let the industry with support with it needs and the ten tm curfew is further damaging hospitality businesses and i didn't hear from the pie messes morning any sense that there are scientific evidence to back up that was a poster —— prime minister this morning. i set up prime minister this morning. i set upa time prime minister this morning. i set up a time and i will point back to it now. national lockdown was lifted too early for the north are

bringing. 0ur cases were higher. i think it was a decision taken maybe with london in mind and as a result we have struggled ever since at that point to get the case numbers back down again. it is why i really take issue with those politicians who have been pointing the finger at the public saying it so the public was my fault that they are not following the rules. of course there is a minority you need to be chosen that way but the majority of people are following the rules. lockdown was lifted too early for us and we have had to have these local restrictions now as a result. we are not getting the support we need, we are not getting that local control of test and price and with furlough coming to an end at the end of october. i think we are looking at a wave of redundancies across the north. it could be a winter of dangerous discontent here unless the government changes course. we know already serve those redundancies because we have the silly world announcement, venues in didsbury, your old constituency. you must be

troubled but that is in a sense one small example an important example, and culture and leisure businesses, asa and culture and leisure businesses, as a former culture secretary, what do you think the government should be doing to help that sector, the arts, because as they have said in a letter, they don't think business is viable right now. i was really sorry to hear that news this morning. 0n viable right now. i was really sorry to hear that news this morning. on a personal level. i played a role in bringing them to leave. the loss of businesses like that takes a heart and soul out of our towns. the cultural sector as a whole is going to really struggle once we see some of the support from furlough taken away. what little be worse if we can come through this crisis and we look around and see it was shut, football and rugby league clubs are suffering. we have got to put the

support in place for businesses that can't return given the nature of what they do, live events, but it is also true, take something like aviation, manchester airport employs thousands of people here. it can't return any time soon. so how can we withdraw the furlough scheme from a sector like aviation or a live events ? sector like aviation or a live events? it doesn't follow to me. think we are setting up a wave of redundancies over the winter and then those industries won't be there to bounce back when the vaccine is finally found. thank you very much. let's remind you we're expecting an update on president trump's health around 11.30. this is the scene at the hospital outside washington. this is in maryland. that microphone was set up in the last 15 minutes. we are told az30pm. yesterday we we re we are told az30pm. yesterday we were told it would be for when it was actually a0 minutes later. we

will keep an eye on it and bring it to you when something happens. now jane is at the bbc sport centre. a big surprise in the london marathon, with world record holder and four—time winner eluid kipchoge beaten into eighth place. no crowds watching on in the cold conditions, but it was an exciting sprint finish to the end with ethipopian shura kitata just pipping kenyan vincent kipchumba to the line. kitata's time was two hours five minutes and a1 seconds. the conditions were cold and wet for both the men's and women's events. world record holder brigid kosguy won the women's race earlier in the — very different — covid—safe marathon. kosgei went clear of world champion ruth chepngetich after mile 18 and finished in two hours, 18 minutes and 58 seconds. there was disappointment for britain's david weir,

who was going for a ninth victory in the men's wheelchair race. he finished second behind ca nada's brent la katos. nikita den boer won the women's race. west ham put in an impressive performance to pull off a surprise 3—0 victory against leicester, ending their 100% winning start to the season. drew savage was watching. the only thing missing from this performance was david moyes. alan irvine in charge. stuart pearce the link between the two. away wins in the premier league have been rare for west ham, but michal antonio gave them an early lead that they never looked like losing. against opponents who'd won their first three games and won away at manchester city. the hammers' second goal came from a good old—fashioned up and under. pablo fornals perfectly judged his getaway from the leicester offside trap.

west ham deadly on the counter attack and determined in defence — essentially they out—leicestered leicester. declan rice had hit the crossbar for the visitors before jarrod bowen wrapped things up — his team's seventh premier league goal in two matches. leicester only showed what they were capable of in injury time. this is the kind of football that had taken them to the top of the league. finished off by harvey barnes, but then chalked off by var. so not even a consolation goal for the foxes, which sums up their day. arsenal have beaten sheffield united 2—1 at the emirates. the first goal from bukayo sako, then nicolas pepe here getting the second for the gunners. david mcgoldrick got one back for sheffield united but it wasn't enough. fulham's miserable start to life in the premier league continues with another loss, this time against wolves. a pedro neto goal in the 56th minute gave wolves all three points.

in one of the early matches, southampton were helped to a 2—0 victory over west brom at st mary's with goals from moussa djenepo and this volley from 0riol romeu. in scotland, celtic rescued three points with two goals in added time against stjohnstone. leigh griffiths headed in the first in the 90th minute and, then just a few moments later, patrick klimala got up from a tackle outside the box to smash the second in, putting celtic to the top of the scottish premiership. closest rivals rangers currently lead 1—0 against ross county. in the women's super league, new american signings cristian press and tobin heath got their first win in a manchester united shirt, beating brighton 3—0. meanwhile, fellow american alex morgan is yet to make her debut for tottenham, watching on as they lost a—1 to manchester city. goals from chloe kelly, samantha mewis and ellen white helped seal the emphatic win.

top seed simona halep has been knocked out of the french open by a 19—year—old in a match lasting just over an hour. it took polish teenager iga swiatek 68 minutes to beat the two—time grand slam champion in straight sets to reach the quarterfinals. the 19—year—old had only managed to win one game when she met halep at the same stage of roland garros last year. men's champion rafa nadal is also through. sotsass has won europe's richest horse race, the prix de l‘arc de triomphe at longchamp. much of the pre—race talk had been if enable, ridden by frankie dettorri, could win it for a record third time. but it was the french—trained sotsass who took it. there was a stewards' inquiry into interference between runners, but the result was not affected.

course did you choose? we had to change the route, it had been going along the canal and then hopefully meeting at the end of because we we re meeting at the end of because we were supposed to run separately and bounce together, but we had to go the round rates because the puddles we re the round rates because the puddles were crazy. we were running down the middle at some point because you can get on the pavement or on the banks. you had to literally go down the middle. we had to change. not very helpful i suppose we are because of you had been running around london it would have been closed off and he wouldn't have had to worry about those things. did you have to dodge traffic as well? trying to cross a road was quite interesting. when you can see very well. congratulations for your booth. we should talk about what you are doing it. claire, do you want to explain the situation. i think it is something that what you put together? we are both running for children can uk. both our boys

drugs, very few new drugs are developed for children. fortunately a lot of survival rates have gone up a lot of survival rates have gone up a lot, but there are a lot of side effects and a lot of the drugs are very old and very hard. it is trying to look for kinder treatments and ways that we can help our children but then also be able to live a full life. sam, what do you think of what mum has done? i think it is incredible. i definitely couldn't get around and she has trained so ha rd get around and she has trained so hard and very proud. sam, how are you now? i am doing very well. i have been off treatment for over three years and it feels like a lifetime. look, having got through your cancer treatment, you are soon going to be running mum close, did i
