I would not want my daughter having the remote control, not alone an empire. We'll dissect the decadent life of Philippe Duke-Dor-Leon with Tom Allen.

| 1:34.3 | it's been declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organisation. |
| 1:38.3 | One of the most crucial questions researchers are asking about this new disease |
| 1:41.9 | is how is this virus transmitted? |
