Zelensky told to leave White House after clash with Trump
Every evening we've been getting these updates from doctors and he had a bronchospasm, which means a strong respiratory attack. And that led to, obviously, a worsening of his overall condition. He had to be subjected to bronchial aspiration. This is to clear his airways and get rid of carbon dioxide in his lungs.

Yes, the past few days after suffering a really bad respiratory crisis on Saturday. We've seen the Pope getting these evening bulletins saying that there was slight improvement, that his medical tests were doing better.

Absolutely. All over the world, we've seen people sending messages of support and to the Pope to get well. Also here at the Vatican, faithful gather every evening in St. Peter's Square to pray the rosary for his well-being. We see cardinals, some of them allies, some of them detractors, all coming together to pray for his recovery.

In Rome, that is something that happens all throughout a papacy, not just when there's a health problem. So, of course, we've seen it on social media with some of the Pope's opponents already picking favourites. And then we've also seen it, you know, in the curial halls with prelates discussing what might come next.
