treatment takes a really long time to complete twenty months. it's hard to stay with it even highly motivated people find it hard to take large amounts of medication every day for twenty months. because. the pathogen thrives in crowded places especially where it's cold and there's a little from lice it spreads easily through sneezing coughing and even just regular conversation. it's easy to identify the signature red pattern under a microscope but distinguishing the regular kind from the multi resistant strain is expensive and lengthy it takes up to two months to get a diagnosis that means people with the multi was distance train can unknowingly continue to infect others. the lab at the sanatorium is able to determine if a strain is resistant to the antibiotic and we found this and it's one of the most effective anti tuberculosis drugs on the markets. it's the computer
controlled tests can produce results within a few hours. but in order to know if it's resistant to other drugs they have to take bacterial cultures that take several weeks using genetic testing it's possible to decode the pathogens genome in a matter of days but that's expensive and to date there are only four devices in all of ukraine that can do this the lab here is still waiting to get one. of the questions remain as to why this multi resistant strain is so prevalent in ukraine. besides the problem with people not sticking to the full course of treatment experts point to the country's overstretched health care system. patients like these here in the boyer car are too often housed in cramped quarters. this has drawn widespread criticism.
we still have people sharing rooms with your patients aren't isolated and have too much contact with each other. in this environment and when you can imagine how easy it is for patients to infect each other with resistant strains for us but we're still optimistic that we're getting new technology treatment methods and resources in us. after years of seeing infections rise the number of cases in ukraine dropped for the first time in twenty sixteen for doctors and patients here their bottom line in the fight against multi resistant tb faster diagnostics and better long term care for patients. with. one major risk factor for typical loss' essentially poverty but what is the current
state of medical treatment. in berlin where public office. this influential researcher is following in his footsteps. institute for infection and i asked him how far he's come. it's the coughing and sneezing season. is it this easy to be infected with tuberculosis i'm here to talk with tb expert stefan. here in germany could i catch tb by airborne transmission like someone coughing on me. if the person has to send coughs on you then you have a large chance of getting infected but in germany you won't often encounter people with tuberculosis. but getting coughed on once would be enough we estimate that you'd have to be exposed more than ten times statistically speaking to actually be
infected but it's what i'd be more at risk for example in ukraine. in ukraine the risk is higher of course and if you spend a lot of time in a hospital with lots of tb patients then your chance of being infected is almost one hundred percent and. one out of every ten infected people actually develops the disease but is there protection against tb. why can't i get vaccinated against tuberculosis like the flu the. immune response to the tuberculosis pathogen that's our own body's defense system against it is far more complicated than in the case of the flu we're still not sure how best to muster those defenses and medical science has ignored tuberculosis for too long my wish is that we'll find a way to conquer tuberculosis.
and his team have taken a major step in that direction in trials in india. has developed a vaccine against tb it's designed to help people who have been infected from developing a recurrent disease. the chance of being infected with the pathogen is especially high in india. india is one of the countries with an especially high rate of tuberculosis we believe that at least a million people have tb in india and that the multi resistant forms are on the rise by. one point seven million people die of tb each year making it the deadliest infectious disease on our planet. some. tuberculosis is caused by bacteria that break into healthy cells and survive their
. discoverer or better develop the first vaccine against it but it failed stefan kaufman has been doing research on t.v. for thirty five years now and he hopes his latest vaccine will be a breakthrough. for our initial clinical trial succeed then we would have a vaccine that also works in adults it would be the first tb vaccine for both young people and adults. planck institute we've always tried to combine basic research with applications by sick research is the main focus but we don't say ok let's do something new we want to advance from basic research into applications. a great goal would be reached if this vaccine proved itself in the clinical phase and i'm quite hopeful that he. would it be the kind of breakthrough that could lead to a nobel prize and i don't want to comment on that. that's not what you're aiming
for. except i don't want to. discuss that now that he does you know. well that may be a while yet a step on khalfan says it could take at least another five years before a vaccine against tb has completed clinical trials. for more about you because you know sis and other science stories just go to our website and get in touch with us on twitter at hash tag to get your license for example all right us on facebook we'd love to hear from you. bacteria like the tb pathogen unlike risk of organisms other common tiny microbes of hunger. small is still virus. one of the u.s. sent in a question about them. as our omar hassan sally from sudan wants to know what
are viruses. a tick bite can transmit viruses such as a form of encephalitis called tb e v in humans the pathogen can cause a fatal inflammation of the brain. other viral diseases are airborne so there are lots of ways they can spread. that's clever viruses which consist of just d.n.a. or r.n.a. in a protective envelope they don't have their own metabolism so they need a host like humans or other organisms in order to reproduce in the case of an infection a virus hijacks the host cell and injects its genetic material into it then becomes a factory for making new viruses. many viruses can spread between species.
the pathogens responsible for aids or may have traveled from apes to humans rodents can transmit panter viruses for example. birds some flu viruses a vaccine may prevent infection. even though as in the case of flu the vaccine constantly has to be adapted as the virus mutates. one type of antiviral vaccine protects against cervical cancer and sometimes viruses aren't pathogens but helpless. certain parvovirus is for example target tumor cells without damaging surrounding healthy cells researchers are hoping to use them to do . elop a viral therapy to treat glioblastoma highly aggressive brain cancer. if
you have a science question send it in by going to our website. if we answer it on the show you'll get out d.v.d. featuring a lighthearted look at albert einstein's most famous theories. the most important thing is to never stop asking questions. and his life was filmed worthy the british movie the theory of everything tells the story of stephen hawking's first marriage and early career after he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. the great physicist was immensely popular with scientists and nonscientists unlike. shown by the response to his death on social media. we asked you how you will remember stephen hawking and what he means to you. on
facebook where it culled pulls a marvelous and extraordinary and says i will not forget him. for tossed in fourteen with the brightest mind since albert einstein he believes the nobel prize should go to hawking posthumously for his work on black holes. stina beautifulest tweets that hawking is a huge inspiration to her because he didn't get his disease to feed him. she thinks other people in his position might not have continued doing science but he persevered with passion. and to use a preface flora leaves a message for hawking in a parallel universe asking him for an explanation for our existence. let's take a look back at this exceptional physicist who died aged seventy six. stephen
stephen hawking was born in oxford on january eighth one thousand nine hundred forty two on the three hundredth anniversary of galileo's death as he like to point times. at seventeen he began his undergraduate studies at oxford university instead of madison as his father had wished he studied physics and chemistry. later he said he'd been a bad student spending less time on his subjects than on the other joys of university life. then after twenty one he was diagnosed with a terminal neurodegenerative illness just such. a starter or so years old. or older neurontin she told me it worked for you in
two or three years. i have lived with the threat of an early. so i wish to try. corking put much of his energy into theoretical physics three years after his diagnosis he received his ph d. the topic of his thesis was nothing less than the origin of the universe which he describes then as a singularity in which the laws of physics no longer seem to hold it created a stir in the field of cosmology. hawking received a position at the university of cambridge over the years he helped nurture generations of physicists many of his students became friends for life. they went to cambridge i checked into the college and then i went to the department. and stephen came in and i was introduced to him we chatted for a couple of minutes i couldn't understand him i remembered first because his voice was very monotonic. but i was i was struck by his
eyes and by a lively he was. at cambridge talking to valid pioneering theories he was elected luke asian professor of mathematics. his work took him to the intersection of science philosophy and religion. to the origin of the cosmos time travel and above all black holes these massive regions of space that swallow life and matter did not conform to accepted theories hawking incorporated quantum mechanics to gain new insights. throughout his career he was obsessed with the question of what happened to the matter that vanished into a black hole actually find answers some of which he later revived he never found the ultimate one. one of hawking's graces theories was an apparent paradox
black holes not only gain mass and grow. they also evaporate using energy which is equivalent to mosques if discovery overturned all previous notions i think he turkle the biggest and the most important problems in gravitational physics and he tackled these problems successfully and many people. attack or work on big problems but very few people actually resolve the script there are many examples in physics where we only realise in hindsight that an individual's achievement was far greater than it seemed up close perspective but even from today's perspective he did great things in those that. in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight hawking published a brief history of time the popular science book has been translated into forty languages i just sold more than ten million copies.
enjoyed writing. all right roy to share with the public my excitement up out of progress we have made you know understanding the laws of nature and the history of the universe and he succeeded in conveying that excitement the book made talking famous around the world people thronged his lecture is he used his popularity to speak out about causes close to his hearts. although there was no place for a creator in his cosmology he was a frequent guest at the vatican. he tried to mediate in the middle east and later joined an academic boycott of israel in support of palestinians. he also joined public protests against the u.s. led war in iraq. stephen hawking received numerous awards and honors for his life's work. in two thousand and seven his dream of flying was realized
when he took part in a nasa parabolic fleiss' for those seconds in zero gravity he could move freely with. the less. than zero. zero zero. zero zero a cup. of coffee for the really going i think he was a great role model for the younger generation. on and so because he showed how exciting a research field by cosmology could be between food and what fundamental questions it offers to researchers and. since you feel you're limited and i think he got many young people to enter this field and retain that fascination to achieve new scientific understanding or.

understand what took place in the one-on-one meeting with trump and vladimir putin in helsinki. a senior administration official telling cnn a woman, a russian national, worked for years with the secret service. she came under suspicion in 2016. a routine state department security review found she was having regular unauthorized meetings with russian intelligence. she used the secret service internet and e-mail systems. the official says she did not have access to highly classified information. no comment so far from the state department. turns out rick gates may testify against his old boss. former campaign chairman paul manafort as early as today. that is the big development on the manafort trial on thursday. another? manafort's bookkeeper testifying that despite making millions, manafort went broke securing big loans. we have jessica schneider with
more from washington. >> reporter: first, the judge seemed to entice the defense team for paul manafort take the stand. the judge said manafort obviously does not have to, but if his lawyers wanted to bring up he has never been audited by the irs, that would be the way to do it. that is what the defense team wants. prosecutors now say they will call rick gates to the stand. paul manafort's right-hand man during the campaign. gates pleaded guilty and is now cooperating with the special counsel. finally, paul manafort's bookkeeper testified that sure, he may have made millions, but by 2016 he was flat broke and maxed out the credit line. the bookkeeper said that manafort and gates were sending out fake inflated business statements to banks to get loans. that gets to the heart of the bank fraud case.
the government keeps hammering home the lifestyle details. a landscaper talk about how much paul manafort paid him. $500,000 for the upkeep of hundreds of flowers and the landscaper called the largest personal pond in the hamptons section of long island. paul manafort spent $2.2 million on home entertainment technology. including $10,000 on a karaoke system. a lot of details prosecutors packed in. we will hear more from his accountant today as they delve into his finances. dave and kaylee. >> sure was living the high life. thank you, jessica. senator marco rubio has a suggestion about paid family leave. >> offering up to 12 weeks of leave when a child is born and use some of their own money from their own social security benefits to help compensate for the lack of a paycheck.
>> rubio is introducing a bill to allow families to use their future social security for up to two months of leave. they would delay receiving the benefit up to two months when they retire. that fund is misplaced and people shouldn't have to choose. other lawmakers have similar ideas in the works. there seems to be a potential for a bipartisan effort. first daughter ivanka trump distancing herself from her father. she said she does not agree with his characterization of the press as the enemy of the people. >> i received my fair share of reporting on me personally that i know not to be fully accurate. so, i had some sensitivity around why people have concerns
and gripe especially when they feel targeted. no, i don't feel the media is the enemy of the people. >> hours later, the president tweeted saying she's right. it is actually the fake news that is the enemy of the people. president trump's oldest daughter is comparing the democrats to the nazis. he was interviewed at the premiere of the movie dsouza. listen to this. >> you see the nazi platform in the 1930s and what was put out there and you compare it to the dnc platform of today. you say those are awfully similar. to a point where it is scary. >> scary is his knowledge of
history. we should note don junior's comment is a false. there is no counterpart in the democratic party. don junior fought back against attacks with his remark on a tweet with a clip from the new dsouza movie. >> wow. iran launching a major military exercise in the persian gulf. tehran is showing the ability to shutdown the oil flow through the straight of hormuz. this exercise was planned, but it is starting intense rhetoric in the u.s. we have nic robertson joining us live from the strait of hormuz. nic, what is the implication of the exercise? >> reporter: an increase of rhetoric recently with washington and tehran, principally coming from tehran, because sanctions are about to be imposed again following
president trump pulling out of the iran nuclear deal. the iranian leadership from the leader of iran revolutionary guard corps to the supreme leader of iran all said if iran cannot export its oil products through the strait of hormuz, then no one can. this is a major threat. the exercises that u.s. officials believe they are seeing in straight of hormuz with dozens of vessels, they are concerned if iranians are putting meat on the bones of the threats. president trump is clear. don't threaten the united states or there will be severe consequences. everyone is watching and looking to see how it develops. no comment from the iranians yet. no comment from the uae and other gulf countries. this is a united arab emirates oil port terminal. this terminal has been developed
to avoid iranians ability to shutdown the strait of hormuz. it bypasses the strait with a pipeline which passes 1.5 million barrels of oil a day. this is strategic. this is important and it has everyone worried and it is not clear at all at this time what with iran's real intent is other than some of the sanctions will begin to start biting next week. kaylee. >> nic, thank you. secretary of state mike pompeo urging turkey to release american pastor andrew brunson. pompeo delivered that message in the meeting in singapore. after the meeting, the foreign minister said those threats are not productive. brunson is a pastor from north carolina who has been held for
two years over alleged links to a failed coup. tennessee could play a role in the senate in the fall. former governor bredesen and republican marsha blackburn won the primaries on tuesday. they will face-off in november in a hotly contested battle for the seat. this is a state president trump carried by 26 points. this is an interesting turn and another one of those bellwethers we see. >> another state like georgia who you think of as rudy red. >> the south will be interesting. ahead, the nfl preseason is under way. no protests, but a video game mistake. it shows the national anthem controversy is not going away. h o
