Was referring to with the car surrounded by the bodyguards. That, after theyve picked up the Prime Minister. There he is, picked up from the ground and put into the car. And just in no short few seconds, he is put into the car, then that convoy goes and, a little while later, he is switched into that helicopter we showed you a short while ago and the helicopter then taking the Prime Minister to this nearby hospital and that is important because, initially, it was reported that he would be taken to bratislava and then those reports of, well, the seriousness of his condition meant that he was taken to this hospital nearby and we await to get an update but, certainly, witnesses on the ground talk about a number of shots being fired and we wait to hear confirmation of where the Prime Minister was hit.
