Correspondent teri schultz joins us from brussels welcome tell me what was nato as main message well phil its still too early for anyone to point fingers with any credibility who might have poisoned alexina valmiki so you cant say that russia is responsible for the poisoning but what you can say is that russia is responsible for the poison itself no over took as you mentioned is a soviet era nerve agent and it is a banned chemical substance via the o. P. C. W. The organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons so russia should have already declared any stocks that have has of no other took and it is also responsible for securing any of those stocks and so that is what nato says russia must come clean on where is its nova check who has access to it and how could someone have gotten gotten the supply of it to poison alexina vani ok there was a press conference after. Issued his statement what did you ask him well i passed on a question that im getting a lot on twitter and that is from the critics of nato saying anything at all they want to know why would the alliance have anything to say about a russian citizen being poisoned on russian territory so thats what i asked the secretary general. Because this is a violation of International Law on International Norms its the use of chemical of but its a use of all the united chemical nerve agent which is violating probation over any use over chemical weapons and matters for nato and when we see that the opposition cultish and in russia is attacked. Its tried to theres not this nation of attack against him of course it matters for everyone that believes in the rule of law democracy individual liberty as we do in nato. Well the missile nato says there needs to be an investigation the kremlin says this was nothing to do with us what does nato do next what of a precedent phil and that is that the last time there was a highly pubs publicized use of an over took was in 20 seen in the u. K. As you may remember a former russian spy sergei screwball and his daughter and 2 other people were poisoned using this nerve agent and at that time the u. K. Launched an investigation and and pinned it on 2 russian nationals so in that case the russian government was penalized nato kicked out 7 diplomats from the Russian Mission to nato and many countries also expelled Russian Diplomats in punishment for this so that remains an option if the poisoning of electing of all me can be traced back to russian officials but its way too early for that weve only just gotten the german results proving that it was novacek and so nato is hoping that the o. P. C. Opens an investigation that russian kwok that russia cooperates but thats a lot of a lot of hypotheticals so well have to see how things play out from here but they wanted to send a strong message early on in this process teri schultz in brussels thank you.

Aids tuberculosis and the plague. Some of the worst diseases came from animals. Then you coronavirus is just the latest. Scientists believe it originated in bats. And that it spread either directly to humans or via pangolin. But how exactly. If the vine. 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. Who. Are 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 disease apes to determine the 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 the 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 the neighborhoods in the rain forests that 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. Joins us from. The truth just how dangerous are diseases that originate in adam for us. Well in general we have to say that most diseases most anxious diseases or asian aging 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 comic she from the Animal Kingdom so they are there and they are dangerous i was also reading something similar that humans suffer from very similar pathogens to the great apes why is that. We share not genetic and heres your Logical Properties with the great apes our closest relative. Pretty speaking we are great apes astronomically so this is why we share most of the same things the only difference is that we humans are big population 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 we can bring our Infectious Diseases to the great apes so we have since 2008 but we become pain where we promote hedging measures keeping a distance wearing a mask basically everything we are doing now a component everywhere in the world to prevent prevent disease wrapped 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 but just one of them has spread throughout the human population like wildfire because of 19. Well if you talk about the jet and the mold in general yeah very touching on a guy whos 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 and circulate permanently among us and then many any male species 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 shame problem like we have so what can your research on great apes contribute to protecting humans from future pandemics so from 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 there are as little filters what ever 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
