10:01 am
coming into close contact with someone later diagnosed with covert 19. and germany's foreign minister it denounces a violent attack on a jewish student outside the synagogue in hamburg. plus how one transatlantic couple overcame the just tickled challenges posed by the pandemic to finally find marital bliss in mexico. are brought in thomas good to have you with us today u.s. president trump has returned to the hospital after leaving it briefly in a motorcade to wave to a crowd of supporters gathered outside the surprise move appear designed to signal that his health is improving after he was hospitalized friday for. earlier the president. posted
10:02 am
a video from the presidential suite at the walter reed medical center where he's being treated so it's been a very interesting journey i learned a lot about coven i learned by really going to school this is the real school this is in the let's read the book school and i get it and i understand it and it's very interesting thing going to be letting you know let's find out more now we're joined from san francisco by professor peter chin hong he's an infectious disease specialist and an m.d. at the university of california there professor thanks so much for coming in today on this you've written an assessment saying the president is at an elevated level of risk can you tell us why that's the case well thanks for having me on brian he has 3 elements that make me a priority think of him as high risk he's a man and he's something 4 years old and he is slightly obese that by itself with
10:03 am
cement elevated risk the other factor is even more concerning which are the fact is feet fevers he has oxygen requirements and he has a cough so putting everything together i would put his what's how the risk at 15 to 25 percent based on the data we have from previous studies ok this certainly is concerning assessment we also know that his oxygen levels drop twice what does that tell us about his condition. it tells us that he is varying on the inflammatory phase of the disease they had 2 phases of code it is a infectious phase when the virus is record using in making virus children so to speak then there is a more dangerous and more concerning inflammatory phase when the body's immune system gets activated and you get this inflammation so when you variants of that inflammatory phase you can go solve very quickly. ok in terms of sales very quickly we know that steroids have been used in the treatment what does that tell you. the
10:04 am
use of steroids is used in critically ill patients so bad 2 reasons why they may use steroids in the present number one. you know they are giving him b. i.v. treatment and maybe they're giving him sir rights of sequence in which from which we would normally use them which is an individual to require oxygen and a lot of oxygen the 2nd reason why they may have used steroids in the present is that he's actually very sick and they have not been they have not been very transparent and let you know letting us know how sick he actually is what about the use of the experimental drug rejoinder on do you think that's the right way forward at this point for the treatment from what you know about the president right now yes regenerative is. engineering a body and is very similar to what we've made up of points of convalescent plasma
10:05 am
except it's made in a lab is you know elite and a body of the neutralizing antibodies it was given early in this course which was appropriate that when the problem is that there is not evidence as yet there are currently run my skin true trials and in the box brian if you are trying to get ridge on iran if we had to have it would be much more difficult side of a trial by the president was able to get it from a compassionate use through an individual authorization from the f.d.a. now this appears to be if the president is released a very short stay for this kind of an infection at this level based on the evidence we're looking at just a 4 day stay if he's released today monday typically though hospitalization the immediate length i'm reading should be $10.00 to $13.00 days is that correct. yes that's correct but it sickens average the well and the very very sick people so
10:06 am
it's obvious thing about 10 or 11 days but you're right if president trouble might be shunned there is absolutely no way i would send him home tomorrow dr thanks so much for coming in on this and for giving us your assessment of what has happened there from san francisco professor peter chin hong at the university of california san francisco thanks very much. thanks well what does this mean for the u.s. election cycle peter ola doll from our election team is here to talk about that good morning to you peter one of president trump has of course been focusing very much on personal appearances after what we just heard is he going to need to change that strategy i don't i don't know that he needs to change it one way he's definitely shown no signs of wanting to change it you know trump is very much someone who does not like to appear weak he wants to you know project strength in someone who is in command of every situation and i think that this stunt if you
10:07 am
will that we saw yesterday of him getting in the car to agree to supporters personally really shows that he will try to use this situation in this disease for his own political gain i mean keep in mind the election is less than 30 days away and it appears to be very much be on the mind of trump in you know how can you use this to capitalize this coming out of the disease and i think we got a preview of that message we saw that i think in that sound bite where he says you know he's learned a lot about the virus by going to the real school not you know just reading the text but still there's concern we didn't talk about that with professor chin hong about possibly infected the people security staff inside the vehicle he was in that's a real mess with oh it was a lot of outrage you know we're looking at a car the beast the presidential car that is not just bullet proof it is
10:08 am
hermetically sealed so as to prevent you know. medical or chemical attacks meat nothing comes and nothing comes out and you know really that shows that he's flout it health advice by getting into this car and we saw a doctor from the walter reed hospital treating this saying you know every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary presidential drive by just now has to be quarantined for 14 days they might get sick and they might die for political see are commanded by trump to put their lives at risk for theatre this is insanity and still the trunk campaign has come out saying that there were not be any additional safety protocols for a coming rallies for instance we've seen a lot of his rallies you know where again. most of the attendees and even the trim campaign has more or less flout it health advice there's been very little social
10:09 am
distancing a lot of these rallies have taken place indoors and many have not wear masks you might remember the rally in tulsa in june that turned out to be a super spreader event so you know how trump learned from this it's what are supporters saying well his supporters not surprise surprise and we are still back in the president and we got a taste of that just yesterday here's some of the comments. horse i was worried about our prize and the love our president. i think he's in the best the hands he's got a great doctors and i think you'll be just fine you're strong healthy man so i don't think the timing is good bad example he's recovering and getting parallel i don't think i had too much of an impact on their likes and i'm not saying that. you know. made i'm not saying it was it but it's not the only tell everything's boy
10:10 am
you know it alls. things a man a steals on those. well does the biden team think he's a man of steel what's been their reaction how are they trying certainly at this time to capitalize take advantage of the president being hospitalized well joe biden's message from the get go has been that he is someone who you know the commander in chief was also very empathetic so they have gone out and say they're going to suspend negative ads he's really use this moment to drive a message of unity but also to say you know president trump is enjoying a health care that is out of reach to millions of americans so he's really trying to drive that message of you know better health care for americans. polls suggest that that message could be working he is his lead has widened a recent poll in b.c. showed him up 14 points that is above the average i might add but the average right now it's about 8 points which is very stable but just to show that you know that
10:11 am
does appear to be a certain bump. and very interesting i find was there was another poll by reuters saying that 9 in 10 democrats and 5 and 10 republicans agree that if trump had taken this virus more seriously from the get go he probably would not have been affected so i think the conclusion here is there's definitely no sympathy for trump peter thanks so much for coming in. and the european commission president was left on the line and says she is now self isolating after coming into contact with the person later diagnosed with covert 19 on her twitter account a top e.u. official seen here last week announced that she had tested negative on thursday but would be testing again today the meeting in question took place last tuesday for line plans for remain in self isolation until she receives her latest test result that's expected tomorrow. let's get you up to date now with some of the other

a cough. but 1st germany's foreign minister has denounced an attack on a student outside a synagogue in the northern city of hamburg. mosque condemned the incident as anti semitic police say a man dressed in military style clothing hit the victim over the head repeatedly with a shovel security forces overpowered the assailant the attack is reviving memories on of an assault on a synagogue in the eastern city of hama a year ago. let's get the latest on the story now with thomas sparrow good day to you thomas of 1st of all can you tell us about the victim how's he doing right now . the victims are staying serious injuries and he was taken to a nearby hospital although it was also informed brian that it is not life threatening they say as you mentioned has been commented on by german officials by the german foreign minister by the german justice minister and the german foreign
10:15 am
minister in particular describing this as an anti-semitic incident and saying that it was not an isolated issue as well ok in the meantime as are anything known about the motive for this attack coming right outside of a synagogue where security is is usually very official as it usually happens in these kinds of cases so officials are not talking about possible motives the investigation is still ongoing it has however been reported that. the attacker had a piece of paper in his pocket with a swastika on it that's what has led to german officials talking about this as an anti-semitic incident as well obviously the fact that it happened at a synagogue in the city of hamburg and this is also becoming very important because there is an increase in the number of anti-semitic cases here in germany in recent years that something that authorities are very much aware of and this certainly poses a very big challenge is a very big challenge for authorities not only the city of hamburg but also germany
10:16 am
as a whole it's increasing significantly it's nearly doubled in the past 3 years is the government planning anything to address them. the world jewish congress for example reacting to this incident told the government to try and do more stress the importance of not only protecting synagogues police protection in particular but also in focusing on prevention and education and that is something that has been one of the key elements where we discuss how to deal with this increase in the number of anti-semitic instances the government has and other issues as well like for example there's an anti semitic. person commissioner dealing with these kinds of instances so you can clearly see that the government is doing a lot but there has been criticism at the same time asking the government to do much more to try and prevent these cases from actually happening thomas thanks so much for the. it's to belarus now where police have used water cannon to break up a rally demanding the release of political prisoners tens of thousands of

10:23 am
you did you jobs and i see you again walk us through this kind of a crazy story isn't it crazy doesn't really seem given the current climate with current of ours nova hygiene measures in place sporting events north seems very have started feeling ill on friday off to his round in the night he then said he was warming up struggling during the warm up but he was hoping for a quick and easy victory over yannick sinner young player but actually an up and coming plan of course the reality was that didn't happen during the match as you say on court gave him some medication he was coughing thing so he's clearly not feeling well ultimately he lost in 4th and then we had this amazing mission after the match let's listen to what he had to say what. really bruce as you can hear but it was a fever you know as well so. i'm not in the best physical state. i was just. i'm really sorry they are nothing well and they used the library
10:24 am
showing a lot of play coming into the press conference that i like to know since you said you had 3 but if you can tell me or tell us how much grace i mean decrease. by something it. was 38 and then later. in the evening. 30 degree fever you know when you're in here we're talking about bonus league games that have been held you see the fever checks on people going into was a doctor on the set how is it possible that none of the measures in place kept him from being on court well there are some measures in place at this tournament for example players are tested every 5 days those that have to stay in a hotel when they're not competing but of course this is going to raise questions of the organizers because if you compare to some of the measures in place in the u.s. so you can last a month where players had their temperature checked before every match that's not been happening at the french open now the organizers say they didn't consult them
10:25 am
about how he was feeling in the list of guidelines given to the play as they were obliged to inform the on site doctors if they are suffering from any kind of sarah did test negative when he was not tested for corona virus but that was 5 days ago he is jewett test and if that comes back positive then that's going to raise even more questions and maybe potentially fears that he's infected someone else there were a number of holes in the net to keep players are potentially infected at least out and this isn't the 1st time has been involved in controversies like this no it's no cause for mind back to june when the thought of hosting sporting events with fans present was almost unthinkable. in fact arrange an exhibition tennis tournament for charity with a full house of spectators vera was involved in that for a moment now it may have had it was maybe. you can say the measures in place.
10:26 am
to say the least no real social distancing and the players here at a party b can see things straight place to each other the upshot of it all was several people did test positive for the virus including joe which in south and. tested not negative he did actually college eyes on instagram for putting anyone on risk reporting is what he's done is in paris. they of course the same thing do you think we'll see a larger push for tighter measures but it's going to put the organizers in the spotlight and people will be wondering why you're not testing the players more regularly every 5 days doesn't seem to be that sufficient and also the idea that players are coming on site without having any kind of temperature checks i think i'll have to look at that again thanks so very much johnson crane for us from forced us. get your monitor now of our top stories this hour u.s. present dull trump has briefly left the hospital where he's being treated in a motorcade to wave to supporters gathered outside the move to does appear that
