And the London Marathon defies the pandemic throws up the surprise winner. And within 7 months into the coronavirus pandemic us President Donald Trump says he now quote understands the virus softer 2 days of covert 900. 00 treatment at the walter reed Military Hospital the president made a brief surprise trip outside hospital on sunday to drive by his supporters who gathered outside he wore a face mask and waved at people from the vehicle the president posted this message on twitter just before he left the hospital. Really great reports from the doctors this is an incredible hospital world to read the work they do is just absolutely amazing and i want to think of all the nurses that dot. Theres everybody here ive also got to meet some of the soldiers and the 1st responders and what a group i also think were going to pay a little surprise to some of the great patriots that we have out on the street and theyve been out there for a long time and theyve got trump play they love our country so im not telling anybody but you but im about to make a little surprise visit so perhaps ill get there before you get to see me a but i just what i look at the enthusiasm and we have enthusiasm like probably nobodys ever had our people that love the job were doing we have more enthusiasm then maybe anybody so its been a very interesting journey i learned a lot about cove it i learned it by really going to school this is the real school this is in the lets read the book school and i get it and i understand it and its a very interesting thing going to be letting you know about it when his trip outside came hours after doctors treating him said theyve given him dexamethasone a steroid the World Health Organization and he recommends for severe cases they also revealed his oaxacan levels dropped briefly on both friday and saturday but they insisted hes doing well and could be discharged from hospital as early as monday trump is also being treated with the antiviral drug ramdass of it and an experimental antibody treatment in response to transients low oxygen levels as dr calmly as discussed we did initiate dexa methods on therapy and he received his 1st dose of that yesterday and our plan is to continue not for the time being today he feels well hes been up and around our plan for today is to have him to eat and drink. Out of bed as much as possible to be mobile and if you continue to look and feel as well as he does today our hope is that we can plan for a discharge as early as tomorrow to the white house where he can continue his treatment course. Second i have to john hendren whos outside they will to read the hospital in bethesda and john talks to the moment when it happened and you saw the president having this little farai outside the hospital. Well as you can see right now youve got cars coming behind me the traffic is allowed to travel pretty freely and so we wont grew a little suspicious when police came out on the road stop the traffic. And then we saw a black motorcade come by 1st on the opposite side and then on this side so naturally everybody rushed up to the corner to see who is in there we were wondering whether it might be Vice President hands for example but right behind me the face that was in the rear window of that car was the face of the distinctive face of donald trump and interestingly there were 2 people in the front we presume they were secret Service Agents and whats interesting about that car is it is bullet proof but its also hermetically sealed that means theres not a lot of airflow the windows were down so the 1st question i had was how exposed are those 2 secret Service Agents in the front of that hardware man in the back seat that we all know now has been diagnosed as it is with covert 19 so it was a striking scene perhaps the most Brazen Campaign stop in history by a man who by all accounts is very sick he said supplemental oxygen hes on steroids its only used for severe cases and hes been taking an experimental cocktail of drugs that really were only approved for this individual use but that just tells you something about donald trump heres a man who wanted to turn the story hes watching the news no doubt inside Walter Reed Medical Center there and not liking what do you hears about him being severely ill and so what did he do he made a video 1st saying he was going to come out and pay a special visit to his many fans out here and there are many of them and then came and did a kind of drive by victory. That although hes very much not out of the woods and everything here this is a very sick man who made a Campaign Appearance at the last minute without announcing it except on twitter and john he has gone back into the hospital take it and some degree of. Reluctance from other professional professionals outside the hospital to to say that he might be released tomorrow as early as monday as as his team there suggest. Thats right we heard his doctor Sean Connelly say just hours ago that the president might be released to the white house as soon as tomorrow so what does that mean well it doesnt necessarily mean that hes not still sick the white house has a medical unit where physicians can take care of him there was even some question as to whether he needed to come here at all the fact that he did the white house said due to an excess of precaution. Does suggest that there was some concern that he was very sick and we now know that he has twice had supplemental oxygen which means his oxygen levels fell below 95 percent the doctor said it was 93 percent so we needed a little boost in his ox on oxygen at one point for an hour will you leave as soon as monday he really know that all we know is what we hear from the doctors and to be frank there is a concern about a lack of candor on the information were hearing about the president s house john hendren thank you very much indeed.

This is manila one of the oldest and most densely populated cities in the world a melting pot of asian and latin cultures a place where the divide between rich and poor is conspicuous but decades ago manila was called the pearl of the orient the manila metropolitan theater was once a testament to the citys grandeur it was a staging ground for artists from all over the world who wanted to perform in the far east but decades later the theater has become a symbol of mandelas decay now the Philippine Government is changing that what will make this theater of different peace people will come here not only because of the show but because of the building.
