well, jim bittermann is on the phone from paris. jim, what is being said about sarkozy? >> reporter: well, we just got the last medical report of the day, apparently from the palace, the latest news that we have. and it's not very helpful in the sense that we really don't have any way to make a very strong conclusion about the exact state of the president's health. basically, as you mentioned, he was jogging this morning, late morning, at the undergrounds of the versailles palace to the west of palace. there's a presidential residence out there, a weekend residence where he sometimes goes, and he was out for a morning jog with his body guards. and apparently with the doctor, not too far away because after about 45 minutes of jogging, he slowed and did not lose consciousness. i want to make clear the palace wants to make clear, but he did feel it necessary to stop and to lay down. the doctor was called and gave first aid on the scene and then he was taken by helicopter to the hospital, which is the big military hospital here in paris where presidents normally are treated.
