George HW Bush and wife in hospital

The former president and first lady


Former US President George HW Bush and his wife Barbara Bush have been admitted to a hospital in Houston, Texas, according to a spokesman.

The 41st president was admitted on Saturday due to "an acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia".

The 92-year-old has now been moved to the intensive care unit after doctors performed a "procedure to protect and clear his airway".

Mrs Bush, 91, was admitted on Wednesday suffering from fatigue and a cough.

During his procedure, Mr Bush was sedated, his spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement.
