Being stored what you know who might have access to them and that it needs to you know participate in an International Investigation that you know if russia wants to say its not responsible it needs to help find out who is and terry you have the opportunity to ask the ins 1st question after a statement what did you lost him. Well on my twitter feed get her to get a lot of comments about why is nato involved in this at all electing of all he is a russian citizen it took place in russia nato should just stay out of this so i asked secretary general stolzenberg why nato feels that it has anything to say about this case at all because this is a violation of International Law on the International Norms its the use of a chemical of use of a overunity chemical nerve agent which is violating probation over any use of chemical weapons and matters for nato and when we see that the lead full titian in russia is attacked. Is tried to theres not as a nation of time talking against him of course it matters for everyone that believes in the rule of law democracy individual liberty as we do in nato. And start not speaking them terry the kremlin has denied any culpability and in that case what are the next steps that nato will take. Well again its just a few days after germany concluded that the poison used on alexina volney was no overture which of course is dating back to the soviet union so whats nato and the European Union as well want to happen is that an International Investigation take place most likely under the auspices of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons to which russia belongs and at which russia has agreed this is a banned chemical weapon so an investigation needs to take place before any further steps can be taken back in 28000 when it was determined that 2 russian nationals had used nova check against former russian spy sergei scribble on his daughter and 2 other people then nato expelled Russian Diplomats as a consequence and many other countries did as well so were not there yet but that clearly stands as a precedent to what might happen if this can be traced back to responsibility of the russian government itself because theres a response in brussels thank you terry.

A rare scene in a mongolia a protest over chinas new education policy for these ethnic and language is their cultural identity something they cant bear to lose. Across the border in independent mongolia people have also taken to destry to show support. It is the last region in the world which keeps using the traditional mongolian scripts. That is why mongolians all over the world a frustrated about chinas new policy of cutting the language from to school program.

Thats why were here to not let it happen. China says the concerns are unfounded. To parliament who was the constitution of the peoples republic of china a regional autonomy of ethnic minorities and the education law or stipulate that citizens have the right and obligation to learn and used in the sion of language.

President ial election both donald trump and as rival joe biden are ramping up the latest polls show the race has remained relatively stable over the last few weeks with biden holding 7 percent. Nationally now its down to the final battle for swing states and the remaining undecided voters most seem to have already made up their minds. These people were unable to get into the president s Campaign Event in pennsylvania despite queueing for hours. But it didnt dampen their enthusiasm. Or dent their belief that victory in november election will be this. Its good to see that theres this much support because everybody wants you to believe that hes not going to win and bidens going to take over and thats not the case trump will prevail it will be 2020 trump will make America Great again. In a nearby hangar in this vital swing state trump is once again pushing the key theme of this campaign. And. Biden is what it is to a piece the domestic terrorists my plan is to arrest them and prosecute them. And i will always defend the law abiding citizens thats why the writers of voting for biden. Also took the opportunity to poke fun at biden. But did you ever see a man that likes to mask his watches there. And then he makes a speech or he always has it not always but a lot of times just that hanging down because you know what it gives him a feeling of security if i were so i thought i was. Right. The president s tone was in stark contrast to the one adopted by biotin as he visited the town of can osha in wisconsin the sighted and she racism protests after shooting a black president jacob blake. Well i think weve reached Inflection Point in our history. Our honest to god believe we have on normas opportunity now that the screen. Curtains been pulled back and this was going to come to reason so 2 very different men and 2 very Different Campaign styles and messages. The one constant though as this clash between pro trump and biden supporters outside the venue showed is that the us is more polarized than ever that me and the deficiency only looks set to get deeper as election day approaches you never met a woman like me how many. More details im urging over the deaths of 5 Young Children in the german city absorbing Police Investigating the case told journalists they believe the childrens 27 year old mother 1st sedated and then suffolk.

Some sports news now lionel messi has announced that he is to stay at barcelona and then weeks of speculation about his future at the club he joined 19 years ago messi had applied for transfer but was told he would not be released from his contract to me and said he could not get into a legal dispute with what he called the club of his life but to slam barcas president for his hands off the case. Ill be back with a news update at the top of the alcove at special is up next starts it from me for now thanks for. Combating the corona pandemic. Where does research stand. What are scientists learning. Background information and news. Hour carona updates. From the covert 19 special next on d w. Life on earth one of a kind and. Gigantic coincidence. Where the improbable happened. Should offer us what it damn the creation of our solar system without a planet is a bit like winning the lot of races. One of the 1st or unique starts september 18th on t. W. Aids tuberculosis and the plague some of the worst diseases came from animals. The new corona virus is just the latest. Scientists believe it originated in bats. And that its spreading through directly to humans or via penguins. But how exactly. If the virus is actually in food and we have no examples of where this virus has been transmitted as a food borne where someone has consumed a food product and the viruses can be killed like viruses and other viruses as well can be killed if if the meat is cooked wildlife and the corona virus. Its not about pointing fingers but we need to know where the disease started with us or with our friends in the Animal Kingdom and how exactly do these diseases move between hosts scientists are trying to work that out but have to be careful not to make matters worse while in the field. Our closest relatives in the Animal Kingdom are keen communicators just like us the similarities are not surprising given that we share almost 99 percent of our genome with chimpanzees but what is a common cold for a human can be lethal for a chimpanzee and as the animals are a highly social species an infection can wipe out an entire group so researches are very cautious when approaching the apes here at the Tiny National park in ivory coast germanys Max Planck Institute for evolutionary anthropology has been studying the behavior of chimpanzees for many years its experts have seen all too many infections have a devastating consequence for the animals they examined diseased apes to determine their cause of death and identify any pathogens also because potential viruses could pose a threat to humans to. Take for example the last major outbreak occurred in west africa between 20142016 taking the lives of 11000 people it is believed to have spread to humans through the consumption of infected wild animals such as apes and fruit bats they typically carry a range of viruses but are not necessarily affected by them if an ape eats fruit contaminated with fruit but saliva it can become infected and the virus can then be passed on by human eating infected ate meat in the case of ebola virus is deadly for both humans and apes scientists are investigating those modes of transmission among the chimpanzees of ivory coast and among lowland gorillas and in the rain forests of Central Africa and the congo basin they too are under acute threat from humans who are encroaching deeper into the Natural Habitats of the primates cutting down trees to sell the timber worldwide a further threat is from poachers who hunt the animals for their meat to feed the rapidly growing population and unwittingly come into contact with viruses and pathogens in the jungle scientists have registered around 200 so not it diseases infections transferred from animals to humans not all a dangerous there might well be more deadly surprises lurking in the jungle for. Joins us from. The truth just how dangerous are diseases that originate in animals for us. Well in general we have to say that most of these muslim actions the leaders or originating in any amount. In humans are originating in animals so the more we look molly pinder even the well known means of such as needles comics she from the Animal Kingdom so they are there and they are dangerous i was also reading something similar the humans suffer from very similar pathogens to the great apes what why is that. We share not genetic and heres your Logical Properties with the great apes our closest relatives. Pretty speaking we are great apes taxonomically so this is why we share most of the same things the only difference is that we humans are people who lation all connected and the great apes are not so they have less Infectious Diseases actually circulating among them so how do scientists prevent chimpanzees for example apes which whichever animal they may be that theyre researching how do they prevent them from catching something from us. Thats a very important topic actually we carry more diseases and they do probably and we have shown thats research or tourism it can bring our intentions in the years to the great apes so we have since 2008 but we become pain where we promote hedging measures just keeping a distance wearing a mosque basically everything we are doing now a component everywhere in the world to prevent prevent disease wrecked whos carrying around more disease away or the animals because i also read about bats that they carry around thousands of viruses the never actually make them sick just one of them has spread throughout the human population like wildfire 19. Well if you talk about the jet and emails in general they are very taxonomic guy who is group so they will have more possible than we have in total looking at one single theses humans happy or property to have a passenger uncirculated permanently a month off and then many anymore if thats not possible on the National Circumstances because they are not such a big population and theyre not so connected so you know they dont have to prove it is a sion problem like we have so what can your research on great apes contribute to protecting humans from future pandemics so from the triple centric point of view the great apes you know they live in an area with high biodiversity was locked off microorganisms which we dont even know about and if they were as little filters whatever they catch from the environment which makes them sick or kill them is very very likely also important for us so we can use them as sentinels and. Is the future looking better for your research is it so dire i mean everyone talks about the next pandemic and we havent even got through this one have way. You know this is also not the 1st pandemic right we have many which have already affected man and client in the past and he is also peelings are not a good these coming from the chimpanzee for example right so im very sure the next one will come nobody can say when it will be and where exactly at start of this is where we need more research to identify the risk and the risk factors is it something thats being funded to the extent that you like to say. I think you will never get a positive reply from on that form any real world. Obviously i think its. One of the few Positive Side effects of this pandemic that theres more attention on these issues and the concept along how we look at the environment and human health and human health and the connectivity go between those thats become again a verb which is invention by politicians so theres hope that of all the better support in the future but here scalia linda thank you very much for joining us today thank you. If youve got questions youd like to ask about the coronavirus get in contact on our you tube channel and as science correspondent Derrick Williams will look into the subject. Why are diabetics highly vulnerable to getting seriously ill when they contract covert 19. This is one of those questions researchers have been trying to answer for months and theyve really struggled with it and its a critical one particularly for countries that have high rates of diabetes a recent study from england for example showed that earlier in the pandemic people who had the condition made up around a 3rd of covert 1000 related deaths in hospitals thats a lot estimates in the u. S. Have put that percentage even higher but its its really difficult to to untangle the exact reasons why People Living with diabetes are often affected more severely than the average kovac 19 patient thats because patients who have type 2 diabetes the most common kind often also have other comorbidities associated with severe covert 19 outcomes complicating factors like like obesity or or hypertension for example the exact cause of the often more severe outcomes in patients who have diabetes is therefore still unclear but we know from past research that the metabolic disorder also affects immune response which means they can impair your ability to recover from infections and and covert 19 can also attack some of the same organs like your kidneys that may have already been impacted and someone who has diabetes thats why researchers are now looking at whether diabetic drugs could also maybe play a role in treating tobit 19 and even among. Those who dont have the disorder. And now a brief look at the latest data uncovered 19 from over 200 countries and territories to give you an idea of where were at in the global fight against the virus new cases have doubled in 23 countries. And increased in another 71. New case numbers have stayed at the same level in 5 nations. 78 countries have seen new positive cases for covert godown. Newly reported case numbers have haft in 21 countries. And 11 have reported no new cases for 4 weeks in a row. Is the bar graph stacked up against the statistics of the last weeks remember the battle is won when that entire chart is blue theres a long way to go.
