monday to friday on. this is the news live from berlin. physicians speaks on the u.s. president's progress doctor calmly reveals the president is now on a course of steroids he also said. to do well was experiencing ops and downs also coming up concern over the conflict in the caucasus azerbaijan and

armenia trade accusations over a deadly attack in azerbaijan 2nd city as does the recent flare up in their conflict over the disputed region continues to work. alex leaves the 2 people dead and dozens missing in the french and italian alps homes are washed away in the worst flooding in living memory. welcome to the program president trump's doctors have given a new statement about his medical condition saying he's on steroids drug methods on the medication is usually given to seriously ill patients and may be an indication of how serious the president's condition is let's hear what what else dr sean connelly to say. over the course of his illness the president has experienced 2

episodes of trains in drops his oxygen saturation we debated the reasons for this and whether we'd even intervene is a determination of the team based predominantly on the timeline from the initial diagnosis that we initiate dexa method then i'd like to take this opportunity now given some speculation over the course of the illness the last couple days. update you on the course of his his own illness. thursday night into friday morning when i left the bedside the president was doing well with only mild symptoms and his oxygen was in the high ninety's. late friday morning when i returned to the bedside president had a high fever and his oxygen oxygen saturation was transiently dipping below 94 percent given these 2 developments i was concerned for possible rabbit progression of the illness i recommended the president we try some supplemental oxygen see how he'd respond he was fairly adamant that he didn't need it he was not short of breath he was tired had the fever and that was about it and after about

a minute on only 2 leaders he said ration levels are back over 40 over 95 percent. stayed on that for about an hour maybe it was off and gone later that day by the time the team here was at the bedside president had been up out of bed moving about the residence with only mild symptoms despite this they want to grieve the best course of action was to move to walter reed for a more thorough evaluation monitoring. with me in the studio is that if there is a business from our u.s. election team was following this story for us very closely we just heard a very short clip there from donald trump's lead physician what else did the medical scene have to say ok so dr sean connelly spoke about trump's fever he said he had he had a high fever but that was on friday but he didn't say how high that fever was and

he didn't talk at all about his lungs any x. rays about that and he didn't say if donald trump was experiencing pneumonia or not and then interesting a lot of the enough we were talking about how cagey the doctors seem just today when he was answering questions about oxygenation and he said that he was trying to reflect an upbeat attitude which is very strange because he's a medical doctor not a part of trans p.r. campaign so that's where that that happened and i think that's pressure from the from the white house or tribespeople on the medical team absolutely i believe that don trump wants to project strength and that he's you know that he can but can bounce back quickly and that maybe hope it isn't as bad as the media says so i do believe the doctor is under pressure why else would he do that this is so an orthodox and very unprofessional. we learned that the drum is on steroids steroids against cove with 19 what do we know about the ok so he's on

a credit card of course steroids and it's called x m f a zone and basically what happens is with kobe the body can expel connect experience inflammation and this is caused by it reacting to a foreign entity and within the body and then the body riffed attacking its own cells and so the code of course steroids is meant to to stop that or to slow it. this statement comes. as he seems to still be very upbeat about his those we don't know whether whether he actually is still is with his doctors say the either of these do you think when he continues if he gets better we will continue to complain when it changes it's huge to this virus but we haven't had any indication that he will when he gave that message yesterday and on twitter he basically said what else can i do i need to be out and working this is just

something that happened to me without any regard for well there are precautions that people can take and as the leader of the united states it was his job to instruct people about how dangerous it is and what they can do to protect themselves and during this recording he had a chance to be a different man and to advocate for better protections for people you know social distancing wearing mask and his t. is joe biden quite often about wearing a mask thing it's so big i don't know he wears it all the time for no reason you know and so he and vice president joe biden have different takes on the importance of math and we have a sound bite from joe biden who was speaking about this earlier here's what i'll do as president number one call on every single american to worry mask when they're around other people outside their households that includes in iraq public transportation buses trains airplanes yes to transportation department

stupidly and marv you rejected a petition to require just that where you mass when you're on public transportation if i can say something here this is not about freedom it's about patriotism you were my ass to protect the person next to you you were asked to protect the bus driver you were mad to protect the person you're sitting next to on the bus. rejected chance to do the easiest thing possible to save lives i find it appalling i promise you my department drove straight through insist on oil from her presidential nominee joe biden speaking there as they see many members of the president's inner circle seem to be. infected enough as a positive for covert how all these infections going to affect the presidential campaign well it affects it and so many ways 1st of all the senate republicans want

to push forward trump's nominee for the supreme court and they were on a repartee god's will might be thrown off because 2 of the senators from the senate judiciary committee have contracted the virus now donald trump is out of commission he their all of the so he can't go out and campaign obviously his condition and so this puts a lot of pressure on vice president mike pence who not only have to go out as a surrogate on the campaign trail or also have to take over some administrative duties and he has the preppie on wednesday in his i'm debating with senator comp kamel harris and because of what's happened with this with the president's condition everybody in attendance will have to wear a mask except for that the except for pence and harris and the moderator there's a difference thank you you know i. have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world authorities in saudi arabia have reopened the muslim holy sites to pilgrims

we don't know who is soon to be sure to do. discover the i. subscribe to documentaries on you tube. the sand beneath your feet good music and daring to fly out on a mild sama evening. mexicans want happy tourists. that our livelihood is almost 100 percent dependent on tourists without them everything falls apart. but there is also covert

a virus that knows no vacation. there has been an exponential increase of infection since the beginning of the new normal . sized liter is located on the west coast of mexico which is normally a tourist magnet if it wasn't for the pandemic. the day has just begun and normally a towpath n.c.r. would be taking out his 1st tourists the beach would already be crowded and the 33 year old's tours would be fully booked. if you want to learn to ride a horse the morning doesn't make him any income like most of the days and months before it is savings are exhausted although beta is an optimist his concerns are

growing with each day. me is me do it for me it's very hard for animals need to eat whether they work or not. i have to care for them just like my family and that's hard for me yes you know me will once again silencer is pretty much the sleepy fishing village that bites i remembers from his childhood. with a pandemic came to lockdown after that and did everyone look to those tourists to dan to go on vacation without them there's no income and it's a matter of she has survival. but there are tools hooks and a spear so. there is no state support by term must help himself. he was born here and knows how

much nature can provide. together with his son and his father he now goes on fishing every day. and he hopes to get enough from the sea to make a small profit. palencia later. baytown knows his way around. an octopus likes to hide in the wrong just like the lobster. oysters op backbreaking one. a small catch after an hour it is actually off season for d.c. creatures. because there are many lobsters but they're still too small.

to look in on us as we'll. to get as much as we need like a pandemic is forcing us to fight for our survival just like everyone else all a single tourist boat passes by by to misuse the gas and not only for financial reasons see if you get the game it was electronic press and it's nice to get to know other parts of the world and since i don't have the money to travel i get to know the world through the tourists who talk to me about their countries and i imagine that the only much. thanks change a few words swap some beer for oysters and for a moment many worries almost forgotten. after hours at sea betto has to sell his catch of the day to current the fishmonger scenic leader. look at his oyster it's as big as my hand what do you say. like

a let's count them. karen had to close her village shop that carries on from home she could no longer pay the rent for her store the restaurants didn't buy enough of her food and walking customers stayed away nevertheless she takes the bait has catch. you up that will help us with household costs for about 2 or 3 days. minister. the people inside only to urgently need financially robust tourists who come here to the west coast mostly from the u.s. or canada. and if you can come. next though. it was one of the only places i was lucky enough to end up here inside. mexico never closed its borders so the economy could at least keep operating a little bit. together guests and locals are creating a came free atmosphere the could almost make you forget about cove it.

yeah. you just get to be human and you're like i'm going crazy on you day you know like just so you start to take calculated risks. stephen can be came to sayit months ago when they were both fed up with the isolation in the yo ass. in the us between everything with cold it and the election and unemployment rates you know we really felt like so you know was a place that we could get away from that the covert. well i'm not sure what it is to be honest. it's been made out to be such a big problem but i don't know that it's worse than the flu and i'm not really to

get ready to give up my liberties over a virus the 51 year old only wears a face mask when necessary after all he's among friends nevertheless he is aware that he could in fact others all be infected himself and won't then i don't want to go to a hospital and. be marked as a cold it person either i don't have insurance fears of i think i'd probably try to take care of myself the best i could hope for the best outcome in the country needs tourists and people feel they have to get out and move around because the solitude makes them sick you know it's more important to live in existence we have in you know by fish or you might get hit by a bus or you might get caught in so you lead a patek so you either need to sell your leader is reviving tourism with restrictions stores and restaurants are only allowed to be open for 6 hours

a day if the hotels are welcoming only one 3rd or think past capacity when the weekend in solitude. begins the streets become fuller more tourists move closer together and many face masks disappear. he says spinoza is a doctor so she's concerned about the carelessness that she often witnesses is simple enough that it's impossible not to think about the fact that it's a risk and that some of these people will soon be my patients but as a human being i also understand the desire to enjoy the old life style the name of and the intensive care physicians days always form as a family that wants to be cared for 3 generations under one roof and the time they spend together is very important to them. but who bit into all those apples. here. he always bites all the apples at the store good for a fruit yogurt. that's our fruit situation over there. but there are worried looks

he says and iran have the riskiest job in the country by doctors who treat covert patients the last few months have been tough they look i think you think you know what to expect but it can always get worse because someone new is suddenly admitted and you don't know how they are doing with it and i think. this is been the daily routine of doctors for more than 6 months. it gets incredibly hot in the suit you don't understand what the other person is saying which sometimes makes you desperate and you can't breathe well. eases feels a special connection with our fast co be patient because he is also a doctor tourists come to the clinics often with no symptoms but are still in fact it and that could so easily cost the lives of our colleagues. hello doctor how are

you. this is how i look but do you think. it's important that patients feel safe they're isolated and have no contact with their families. the pneumonia was severe but the scan shows marked improvement. soon the ventilator will be removed. he has put himself in danger for other people. he's doing better and for me as a doctor this is the greatest satisfaction that. the number of infections has risen significantly due to tourism say the doctors hospitals are becoming overrun time and again yvonne is worried about his country an explosion of tobie cases and a new lockdown would be a catastrophe for the people of the region. it's a thin line our country needs the economy but this can only be done with strict

security measures and the worst thing now is not so much the virus but people's ignorance. ignorance that could have severe consequences for maria ho say she works as a hotel concierge and has to get tested one guest tested positive for coping. i mean i like working with terrorists but the risk is always there. the situation is complicated but we also have to make money. gallus news means that the doctors do not know when this will end they have their own families who they do not want to in fact. children who are waiting for a welcome home cares and a hug and hope that their parents will remain a healthy. here if they get sick then i can no longer be with them.

i'm afraid that they will dying. tourism during a pandemic the wiring of getting sick with coded the longing for life and the need to make a living it may not be the easiest challenge to bring all of these together but it's not impossible. if you meant that within a game by the end of yes our whole village could be overrun by the virus. busier but i think that if we follow the hygiene and social distancing rules then we can live here together that way if they want to get a minimum of we will stand for if you want to get ahead you just have to remain optimistic like as it appears this.
