a taped replay from reuters and we'll be playing that out shortly we'll just wait and see it's coming through in bits and pieces at the moment so i may interrupt you in a moment context of the election i know that this is not what you would call an election issue but it's the type of thing again i guess that donald trump can point to and say look at everything i've achieved if he wants to talk about his foreign policy. when it comes to talking about removing a nation like sudan from the state sponsors of terrorism to be honest for the average american voter right over their head it's not going to make that much of a difference however if you go to them and see a look from sudan we have managed to get $335000000.02 pay to call in compensation for those who were impacted by terrorism that we believe that sudan the previous governments of sudan was behind that can be painted as a win and that would be important in any sort of election context and certainly that's in the statement this comes from the white house where donald trump and his administration call it a significant achievement s

there was also a survey conducted by reuters taken afterwards. it showed nine out of 10 democrats and half of republicans said trump could have avoided getting sick and he isn't getting sympathy boost. if you look at that clear politics betting odds, the probability of joe biden winning is up to 61%. francine? francine: thank you so much. get to the deputy director of the berlin office center of the marshall's fund of the united states. thank you for joining bloomberg surveillance this morning. it's been quite a weekend. it's been difficult to ascertain the exact health of the president of the united states. if you like we have a white house that's more transparent? do we know how sick or have not sick the president is? guest: good morning, francine. this is the storyline of the trump presidency. what does one believe? this white house is known to put out misinformation. in fact, cornell university put out a study saying president trump is a large source of disinformation during this pandemic. it's hard to say. we've seen videos of the president.

jase mason, white house correspondent at reuters. lots of new developments then there's that conflicting information over the past couple of hours concerning the president's health. what is your take on what we know definetively so far? >> well, a couple of thing, first of all you're right to say the white house is trying to clean up sort of the confusion about the timing and the doctor, dr. conley sent a memo that was released by the press secretary saying that he had spoken incorrectly and that, in fact, the president had been tested or tested positive for covid on thursday night. so that is what they're saying about that now so that helps with that piece of it. generally though, i think you can analyze the press conference today at walter reed which was very upbeat for the most part and contrast that with the piece of news josh was sharing that was spoken by a source familiar to the pool and conclude that that upbeat conference was probably directed as much at the patient as anyone else. if the white house is concerned about not h
