i learned that 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 a very interesting thing going to be letting you know about trump's doctors painted an optimistic picture of the president's health suggesting that he might be back at the white house as early as monday but the medical details provided were contradictory and a vase of some information including drops in the president's oxygen levels and the decision to administer a steroid treatment point to a more serious case of code 19 than what his physicians previously disclosed trump's supporters who organized the vote rally on maryland's eastern shore were certain that president trump would make a full recovery. course i was worried about our president we love our prize and mom i think he's in the best behaved and he's got a great doctor and i think you'll be just fine he's strong healthy me and so i

think the timing is good bad example he's recovering and getting through well i don't think i have too much of an impact on the election. with the election just one month away trumps camp is struggling to push his campaign forward pulls show that joe biden's lead in the presidential race has grown since last week's debate under quarantine the president can't hold rallies to fire up his base and his coronavirus diagnosis has made it even harder to divert attention from his much criticized handling of the pandemic. and let's get more now we are joined by president of the german interdisciplinary association of critical care and emergency medicine welcome to the program and thank you for joining us there are reports that we have heard that the president's oxygen levels dropped twice what does that tell you about his condition. yes from the far distance and only tells that the capacity of the president's law was perhaps affected

by the virus disease public at 90 and it could also tell. he will have a high grade fever on friday as reported and together with high grade fever and possible affection of the law it could be that the office of separation goes on and there's a very important measure to look after patients with copd 19 so i think this measurement of oxygen dropping out and then we'll let the doctors change their treatments and they should change the treatments so we know that he's tested positive for cover one tame how long should somebody with covered 1000 be in the hospital or in quarantine so that they don't infect others because we've seen the president leaving the hospital briefly to greet his supporters what do you make of that. i think that as the american physician said i think that there's

no not quite a responsible that i think of could quite irresponsible to send of a message like that on the other hand the question of for me regarding the quarantined of the president from that is we started with symptoms and he was positive on friday i think so at least the should be 14 days in warm time and that means that he should stay low and that he any context should be very close to the measured and that. never has to taken to prevent infection that think the sign to see him in a in a car driving through the streets i think that's quite irresponsible i think he shouldn't do that and the doctors should told him that not a good idea and we have heard from the doctors at walter reed medical center they have indeed criticize the u.s. president for that behavior behavior how much of an m.

fluence does a medical team have on such behavior of patients. i think that's a political question from the side from the point of view of the doctor when they recommend something for a patient and then they say don't do that and the patient is the one who is responsible for his actions so i would tell a patient don't do there and then the patients and no i would do that and the lives lost go on the street i think i would say ok he is responsible for his own behavior and i told him not to do that and think that's the way to deal with patients autonomy and the president from his own autonomy and he acts political and not the responsible regarding his health and they have of others professor will hansen's president of the chairman interdisciplinary association of critical care and emergency medicine thank you for taking the time to speak with us thank you.

and here are some other developments in the corona virus pandemic the w.h.o. says that one in 10 people around the globe may have been infected with the novel coronavirus that means the vast majority of the world's remains at risk with cases on the rise the organization warns that the beginning is beginning of a difficult period the french capital paris is being placed on maximum alert for 2 weeks to curb a new rise and infections bars will remain closed and restaurants have to implement stricter sanitary protocols the new measures will take effect on tuesday and in the philippines some 25000000 students have become classes at home president. has ordered schools to remain shut until a covert 19 vaccine becomes available. and here are some other coronavirus stories making news around the world the world's 2nd biggest cinema operator cinema world is set to shot over 700 theaters in the u.k. in the u.s.

the corona virus pandemic highlighting the importance of medical research for societies and economies around the world. let's get more with 5 correspondent eric williams who is here with us in the studio so tell us more about the winners and whether you were surprised with the well to be honest i'm almost always surprised i mean i've been doing this for a lot of years and there are always predictions everyone always has predictions and most of the time i think i've gotten it right twice in the last 15 years and that's that's 50 different prizes it isn't a surprise in the sense that this is a dangerous and deadly pathogen and the steps that these scientists took were very important to helping us get on top of that pathogen they were very fundamental and very basic so in that sense also against the current backdrop of the pandemic that we're going through it's not a surprise tell us more about their research and how it's changed actually our daily lives well the hepatitis liver disease is often caused by by infectious

viruses as well there are 3 different strains that we know of and and 2 of them b. and c. are potentially deadly pathogens they can cause they're thinking turned chronic and often silent and they can slowly destroy liver function just just to give you the idea of the scope of the problem hepatitis c. virus alone infects around 70000000 people every year all over the world from among those who are infected around $400000.00 people are going to die and when it reaches an advanced stage the only viable option for many patients is going to be a liver transplant so the 1st step towards fighting a disease is obviously identifying the pathogen if you don't know what you what you have and to deal with then there's no way to go on and for example develop diagnostics to detect it that's one reason why they're receiving the prize because

another is that you're not going to also going to be able to go on and develop antivirals to help to help treat people so the 1st fundamental building block that you have to have is what are we dealing with let's ident. i have this is what it is and that's what they did and it's really interesting that they're being awarded this in a year where we are having a global pandemic and these are their role it just aren't that they are and i think that even though the nomination process closed out and in january and we've seen we've seen a huge amount of interest and research into into viruses and and sars codes to and we've learned a lot about things like very fundamental science things like about the immune system all of that research is still very fresh so i think you're going to see a whole crop of sort of coated 19. nobel prizes 5 or 10 years down the road but i think that that given them giving this prize right now for viral research certainly sends a sign and that sign is that this is these are problems that we're going to be

dealing with in the future and this is a very very important scientific research it deserves the prize eric williams from science thank you 3 british government has come under criticism after newspaper reports that it is considering plans to house asylum seekers offshore on remote islands since august more than a 1000 migrants have made illegal crossings from the french port of cali after promising to secure the borders london is under growing pressure to stop the crossing. pictures that made headlines in the u.k. this summer people and rubber dinghies making their way across the english channel seeking asylum now the royal navy and the air force are being deployed to stop them . now a sudanese citizen trying to get to england isn't fazed. the government doesn't want a new people for the country but the country is

a big it can take anyone. but he will find ways there was here is on the french side at the port of cadillac trying to figure out when he can cross the city's been an asylum transit home for years but infrastructure for the almost 1500 refugees is practically nonexistent tent city on the edge of a road a little electricity or access to running water. regular police checks. here there are no reception centers. in lay bys and roadside green areas refugees meet to discuss their only hope of getting away by rubber dinghy. this boat like people who are people

in europe use authority to in doing there are so few in next year but we use it to you kate so it's like some people use the machines want to switch out on some people they have more so from here to walk about said to 4 kilometer it takes about 3 hours to be out and how people use it take about 10 hours to live in the. most boats set off just after dawn the french police have to keep an eye on 45 kilometers of coastline this summer they've had reinforcements the british are paying for an extra $45.00 officers a day some of them on horseback. but still they're only able to prevent a fraction of the risky departures. rescue crews are called out almost every day the english channel is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. the english channel is a motorway and driving on a motorway with

a scooter is dangerous and that's what it's like here. but that hasn't stopped hundreds of people trying to do it every day. after all as here says they have nothing to lose. refugees and migrants have always faced star cogs the latest measures have made those odds even starker. and let's get a check now of some other stories making news around the world the leader brags the negotiator michelle bunny is in berlin for government talks amid mounting pressure on london and brussels to agree on the terms of britain's departure for foreign minister heikal moss underscore the need for quick progress to avoid a no deal scenario barney also met with chancellor angela merkel. german authorities have launched an attempted murder investigation in the case of a 26 year old jewish student who was attacked outside of

a synagogue in hamburg and initial findings indicate the assault was motivated by anti semitism the victim was seriously wounded when a man in military style clothing struck him on the head repeatedly with a shovel. azerbaijan and armenia have accused each other of targeting civilians as military conflicts between the 2 sides especially as of john's the 2nd biggest city ganga has come under attack from armenia forces the former soviet republic has been in dispute for decades over the region of a far no car of. rescuers have stepped up the search for villagers missing after violent storms battered mountainous border of agents in southern france and italy several communities were cut off by flooding and mudslides france has declared the area a disaster zone at least 4 people have died. in tennis germany's alexandra where of has admitted playing with

a fever after going out of the french open in the 4th round calls for a doctor in the 1st set of his defeat to italian teenager yannick center and was seen coughing on court players at the tournament are regularly tested for corona virus and last test came back negative but speaking after the defeat he admitted he should not have played the match. right now here in the studio jonathan crane joining us from sports to talk us through what happened here doesn't sound possible does it really sara given or the kind of coronavirus measures in place these tournament vera was already feeling you know 3rd round match on friday and he was struggling jury in the warm up before the match with yannick sinner but he said he hoped he could get a quick and easy victory but sinner is a very good player and often coming young player and of course that didn't happen as you said during the match the doctor came out gave him some medication he was

coughing pointing to his throat and yeah he lost in 4 sets and after the match we had this striking admission from him. really bruce as you can hear both voice. fever you know as well so. the physical state. part wants to. show you know a lot of. risk. if you can. graze the grease. was 38. in the evening. he played the match then he went to this press conference i mean we're seeing him coughing also at the press conference you can just imagine the journalists who must be there there are measures to protect players aren't they so

so how did this happen yeah there are measures in place the players for example have to stay in the hotel unless they're playing a match they tested every 5 days but still this is going to raise questions of the organizers because if you compared to the measures in place of the u.s. open where for example play is that she had to get the temperature checked before every match the measures that the french open don't seem as strict now organizes said the. doctor is that he was suffering from symptoms according to the player guidelines which so i have had that was his responsibility he should have told an on site doctor now he did test negative on choose day that was his last test but of course that was 5 days before this 4th round match he's doing on the test but if that does come back positive then that's going to raise all kinds of questions has he potentially unfit infected anyone else especially considering that it's not the 1st time that he's been embroiled in a coronavirus controversy cost of mind back to june when the idea of having

spectators a sporting event seemed almost unthinkable novak djokovic arranged a charity exhibition tournament with a full house of spectators very of was positive that it was well intentioned maybe but the social distancing measures were well that's to say the least we can see in these pictures that apply a policy that they are dancing around no social distancing i told him the upshot of all of that sarah was that several people involved tested positive for the current virus including djokovic as very good and he tested negative but he posted a very grovelling apology on instagram apologizing for putting anyone at risk the irony is he may well have just done the same in paris. sports thank you welcome. and now this is something you don't often see in elite cycling and that's the pros making a beginner mistake but it's exactly what happened in a one day classic race in belgium we have the world champion. who

was involved in the sprint finish with 4 other riders he thought that he had won the race and he raised his arms in celebration and the problem for the frenchman is that he had not yet crossed the line allowing tour de france runner up primrose row glitched to beat him by half a wheel. when other clumsy i see their ravenous and 3000 years after their extinction on australia's mainland tasmanian devils are back conservationists released 26 of the tiny terrors and to a protected area 3 hours north of sydney where they can settle and prepare for breeding season in february it's believed the devils were wiped out on the mainland by a wild dogs they haven't fared too well on the island state of tasmania either or a contagious disease has ravaged more than 80 percent of their population.
