Global systems that we have in the oceans. It is important to say that these are sea Surface Temperatures. It is also about the time of year. So normally the oceans are at their hottest in march, but we are obviously now in august. And so scientists are worried about all of that time left until next march. There is also el nino which is less naturally occurring Climate Fluctuation which we have talked about it before. It happens every few years but it does drive up Ocean Temperatures. But we are only at the beginning of that now, it is quite weak and so as not to get stronger in the coming months, Scientists Say they fear these average temperatures will just carry they fear these average temperatures willjust carry on going up. What do scientists think is the cause . Scientists know that in the long term, Climate Change is driving up average temperatures in the oceans. They also think that a lot of the heat, or they know that a lot of the heat, or they know that a lot of the heat that we have emitted into the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels and emit greenhouse gases, 90 is served by the oceans. A lot of that, they believe, is going into the deep ocean. It may be that some of that now is rising to the surface. And thatis now is rising to the surface. And that is what is causing the spikes. There are other factors. There are some natural variability. El nino, as ijust mentioned is one part. There are other theories about the localised heat waves that you just mentioned on the map in the north atlantic. There could be other things going on. This is an act attempt to figure out the puzzle. The oceans are very, get it. It is been a long time since ireann Land Temperatures are going up but we are really now seeing that oceans are catching up to those decades of fossil fuels being omitted. Thank ou ve fossil fuels being omitted. Thank you very much fossil fuels being omitted. Thank you very much for fossil fuels being omitted. Thank you very much for that. Helen fox is Conservation Science Director at the Coral Reef Alliance an ngo working on marine ecology. Shejoins me now. Thank you so much forjoining us. Let me ask you first of all, how boring and alarming as all of this . Thank you. It is definitely alarming. Warming Ocean Temperatures are already causing coral bleaching. That is what we study at the Coral Reef Alliance. And these continued rising temperatures are going to continue to cause stress to reefs and also other organisms throughout the whole ocean. 50 and also other organisms throughout the whole ocean. The whole ocean. So lets talk now about coral the whole ocean. So lets talk now about coral reefs. The whole ocean. So lets talk now about coral reefs. Because the whole ocean. So lets talk now about coral reefs. Because of the whole ocean. So lets talk now l about coral reefs. Because of course they are a barometer of how the oceans are doing. There was a period, wasnt there, a few years backin period, wasnt there, a few years back in a few decades back where they were in dire straits . Have things improved now that we are aware of their importance . Or are you worried that things will get worse again . We you worried that things will get worse again . Worse again . We are definitely worried. There worse again . We are definitely worried. There have worse again . We are definitely worried. There have been worse again . We are definitely worried. There have been multiple Mass Bleaching events. They are also threatened by pollution and a run off and overfishing. So there is much more awareness and a lot of action, but the threats continue to increase as well. So yes, we are worried and we are very much trying to inspire further action to preserve these ecosystems for the communities who depend on them. Just exlain communities who depend on them. Just explain to viewers at home who may not understand, why is it important to maintain coral reefs . They are notjust to maintain coral reefs . They are not just there to maintain coral reefs . They are notjust there because they look beautiful. ,. ,. , beautiful. No, they are not. They are really important beautiful. No, they are not. They are really important for beautiful. No, they are not. They are really important for human. Are really important for human communities, there are a lot of fish and other organisms that are attracted to the reefs and a live there for all or part of their life cycles. They are also very important for shoreline protection, when there are storm surges, the reefs can help reduce that. They are also very foundational for many economies because they are so beautiful, people like to visit them. They are incredibly important and diverse ecosystem. Incredibly important and diverse ecosystem incredibly important and diverse ecosystem. What can be done to rotect ecosystem. What can be done to protect these ecosystem. What can be done to protect these reefs ecosystem. What can be done to protect these reefs then . Ecosystem. What can be done to protect these reefs then . So ecosystem. What can be done to l protect these reefs then . So there are lots of things, protect these reefs then . So there are lots of things, obviously are lots of things, obviously talking about climate, we need to have a lot better action in terms of tackling Climate Change, reducing emissions, but also protecting coral reefs from non climate stresses. Reducing overfishing and pollution, and one of the things that we do add to the Coral Reef Alliances work with local communities to do that. Also, looking at the science of coral adaptation. Also, looking at the science of coraladaptation. How also, looking at the science of coral adaptation. How can carols adapt and how can we design Marine Protected Area Networks to encourage that adaptation to try to help them get through this difficult period of Climate Change . To get through this difficult period of Climate Change . Climate change . To talk to you, thanks. An Appeals Court in romania has lifted the house arrest imposed on the controversial influencer andrew tate. He and his brother tristan deny charges of rape, Human Trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. The court has placed them underjudicial control meaning they cant leave the country without permission. A short time ago, andrew tate had this to say to the waiting media. Injanuary, when i was thrown in a jail cell, the media reported and told the world i was a terrible person. They said that i hurt people and i make a lot of money from criminal enterprise, and here we stand, seven or eight months later, and ive not seen a single victim on the news. I dont know if you have. Ive seen lots of girls sticking up for me, lots of people defending me. Ive not seen a Single Person stand up and say that i have hurt them not one. Its very exhausting to continue to perpetuate lies. It is very hard to keep lies afloat when you have no actual evidence. Weve been completely innocent since the beginning of this, and i have to give absolute faith to the romanian judicial system for finally making the right decision and letting us free. Im sure in the end, well be absolutely exonerated, and everybody who was pushing these lies and reporting things on repeat without any substantial evidence are going to have to analyse within themselves why they decided to try to destroy peoples lives purely for views. Ive done nothing wrong. God knows ive done nothing wrong. In my heart, i know ive done nothing wrong. I think the people at home with a functioning brain understand that weve done nothing wrong. Because nobody is yet to identify a single victim, which is saying that weve done anything to them since the beginning of this entire process. Once again, absolute respect to thejudge. Respect to romania. Respect to the romanian judicial system. I look forward to being completely exonerated in due thank you. Lets talk to our europe regional editor, paul moss. Paul, many will have heard of andrew tate, some wont have. Firstlyjust give us a reminder of who he is. Andrew tate first really appeared in public consciousness about ten years ago. He was a kickboxer. Rather a successful one. He won a lot of championships. But then he wanted to expand and have a television career. Famously, he was chosen to be in the british version of big brother, but then he was kicked off earlier on when Video Footage appeared which appeared to show him hitting a woman with a belt. And there was also some footage in which he seemed to show off about it. Since then, he has become what is known as an influence, but i am not talking about someone who tells people what perfume are under way to buy. This was someone who gave men advice about women step to describe it as misogynistic would be an understatement. He talked a lot about how he would phone per woman if she accused him of anything. He described women as mens property. He talked about women belonging in the kitchen. In some ways it was like listening to the views of the very traditional 19th Englishman in the body of teenager who perhaps had had one drink too many and want to show off to his teenage friends. This is very much part of his image. I put women in their place, i abuse them, i have, he says, very openly hit them. He has recommended this to others as well. He is very popular with this. Some of his videos have been seen literally millions of times. Been seen literally millions of times. ,. , been seen literally millions of times. ,. , times. Said those are elements to his personality times. Said those are elements to his personality. But times. Said those are elements to his personality. But now, times. Said those are elements to his personality. But now, we times. Said those are elements to his personality. But now, we have| his personality. But now, we have seen him accused of a lot more serious things, and we . What is it that he is accused of doing and why was he arrested and what it is todays ruling mean for him . figs was he arrested and what it is todays ruling mean for him . As you sa , ve todays ruling mean for him . As you say. Very serious todays ruling mean for him . As you say, very serious offences todays ruling mean for him . As you say, very serious offences indeed. I say, very serious offences indeed. He is accused of allegedly rape. He is charged along with his brother and two other women with forming a criminal gang. And also with Human Trafficking and other specific details of the allegations are that women were limited to this residence in romania, true man to clear read and promised a relationship with him, he does recommend seduction as a technique on how to go about it, but what they alleged was that after this the women were held captive and forced to appear in pornographic videos which were then shown on the internet. Mr tate, as we have seen, denies all of those allegations. What changes today is that he is under what they call in romania as we heard, judicial control. That means he is no longer under house arrest and he can come and go as he pleases. But he is not allowed to leave romania, in fact he is not allowed to leave bucharest, the city he is in at all. He is not allowed to contact any of the alleged victims in this case who made the allegations against him. Victims in this case who made the allegations against him. Thank you ve much allegations against him. Thank you very much indeed allegations against him. Thank you very much indeed for allegations against him. Thank you very much indeed for that. Some Exciting Health news now scientists in spain have found a naturally occurring strain of bacteria, which could help stop the transmission of malaria from mosquitoes to humans. The discovery suggests the bacteria could reduce the quantity of the Malaria Parasite in a mosquito by more than 70 . So, how significant is the breakthrough . Lets ask our Global Health correspondent naomi grimley. This sounds very exciting. How important is it . It this sounds very exciting. How important is it . This sounds very exciting. How important is it . It is important, they think important is it . It is important, they think. They important is it . It is important, they think. They are important is it . It is important, they think. They are still important is it . It is important, they think. They are still doing | they think. They are still doing more trials, it is important to stress that. But they actually discovered this by chance, because what was happening was they were using a colony of mosquitoes for Drug Research in the Gsk Rnd Facility in spain, and what happened was overtime mosquitoes stopped carrying the Malaria Parasite. So they stopped contracting malaria. And they froze their samples and a few years later they came back to them to try to find out more. And they found that there was this naturally occurring bacteria in the Mosquitoes Goat and they think that thatis Mosquitoes Goat and they think that that is responsible for dampening down the effect of the Malaria Parasite. What is the next step now . I assume we need more trials, dont we . Absolutely. They stress that this bacteria is naturally found in plants and in water. So it is not something that has been genetically modified. But they do want to do more trials for safety. They are doing this in the burkina faso where there is a big facility called mosquito sphere. This is almost like greenhouses where they can catch and release the mosquitoes and do trials as if in the real world. But without of course theres mosquitoes escaping. They are going to do more to check that it really does work and also that it is safe. They also need to think about the manufacturing of this bacteria. Are they going to use it as alive bacteria are they going to extract the compound that they think the bacteria secretes inside the mosquito and find a way to use that . Perhaps even putting it on surfaces because we know that the mosquito can sort of absorb it up through its cuticle. � ,. , cuticle. Lets remind viewers who ma not cuticle.

By it every year, and they . Really, it is uuite by it every year, and they . Really, it is quite astounding. By it every year, and they . Really, it is quite astounding. Around by it every year, and they . Really, | it is quite astounding. Around 6000 people 600,000 people die a year from malaria. We are talking about the majority of those being in children under the age of five. The majority are in africa. Many countries are still grappling with malaria. The good news is that we have vaccines being rolled out in africa at the moment. That is still in the early stages but that is very exciting. As we have seen, there are other tools that can be used. Perhaps this one. Why is it important . Because malaria and still develop resistance to drugs and pesticides and insecticides. It is really important that they keep looking for other interventions to work against this disease, one of the oldest in the world. Work against this disease, one of the oldest in the world.

City would be divided into five zones with improvements made to existing routes and a new bypass created to form a ring road. Motorists would have to drive around rather than across the city to go between zones. While potentially facing a fine for crossing boundaries. The idea was to get people out of their cars and travel by foot, Bike Or Public Transport instead. But at the new leadership of the council is officially reviewing the scheme which is a way of saying it will be scrapped. Balancing the needs of motorists and the need to protect the palate is now becoming a big political issue.
