He was an experienced marathon runner and "super fit", so assumed it was just a hangover or tiredness.But after a "precautionary" MRI scan, it was found that in fact he had two tumours - a grade four astrocytoma tumour the size of a tennis ball on the right side of his brain and another golf ball-sized growth in the middle of his brain.

Mr Wade said: "Weirdly, in my head, one would have been OK, but two…"You know, if you've got two brain tumours, surely you just die."Doctors told Mr Wade he might have had the tumours for up to 20 years and his symptoms were caused when his brain "eventually just ran out of space".

He was referred to UCL Hospital and in June he underwent an eight-hour surgery, known as a "de-bulking", to remove the larger tumour.When he woke up, he could not open his left hand or walk, so had to work with physiotherapists to regain movement.

Mr Wade said re-learning to walk on his own made him feel like running a marathon was a "million miles away", but within two days he was able to walk and within a month he could run.

He said: "I love a challenge and I love a battle. I'm 41 and super fit and I'm determined we're going to battle through it."It is now offering visa-free travel to visitors from parts of Europe as well as from Thailand and Australia. And its pandas are once again being dispatched to foreign zoos.

Perceptions matter to China’s ambitious leader, who wants to take on a bigger global role and challenge the US. He certainly does not want to become a pariah or face fresh pressure from the West. At the same time, he is still managing his relationship with Moscow.While he has not condemned the invasion of Ukraine, he has so far failed to provide significant military assistance to Russia. And during the meeting in May, his cautious rhetoric was in contrast to Mr Putin’s florid compliments about Mr Xi.

So far, China has also provided political cover for Mr Kim’s efforts to advance his nuclear arsenal, repeatedly blocking US-led sanctions at the United Nations.But Mr Xi is no fan of an emboldened Kim Jong Un.
