A groundbreaking medical procedure, we will talk to one of the researchers behind this treat the library golf. Its good to have you with this. It is a boat reflecting, growing International Solidarity with the palestinians. Today the Un General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of a palestinian bid to become a full member. It has recommended this now to be considered by the un Security Council. A 143. 00 nations supported the motion which grants the palestinians significantly more rights to participate in General Assembly sessions. It does not, however, grant the palestinians regular voting rights. Us vetoed a Security Council resolution last month. It would have paved the way for that head of todays vote. Israels ambassador to the un shredded United Nations charter saying that was what countries who support couple of times bid to join the you when were doing or yes. Yes. Thats what were going to cross over now to our corresponded Benjamin Alvarez group in washington. Hes been following events for is benjamin what does this vote by the you in general is gonna be, what does it really mean . Its important to clarify that this vote does not give the palestinians full un membership, but recognizes them as qualified to join. Is you said 143 members voted in favor 9 against it, including israel and the United States and 25 countries, abstained in this policy and membership. It will now be forwarded it to the un Security Council asking it to reconsider the matter. And the result of this vote does not come as a surprise that it was widely believed that the resolution would easily achieve the necessary 2 thirds majority in the General Assembly. Also because there is no b to ride in the 193 member body in the us has been opposing this. And also in april v towed a proposal recommending the admission of the state of policy to full membership in the United Nations. And it isnt resolution, it would grant new rights and privileges. What exactly are the this is thats right, this passed a resolution gives the police thing. And so right to participate in the United NationsInternational Conference is convinced by the us. And that means that they have the right to make statements and submit proposals. Amendments also to co sponsor a proposal to raise a procedural motions, but the state of policy and does not have a right to vote. What is also interesting here is the diplomats told us media before this vote that they original draft of the Assembly Resolution was changed significantly to address concerns not only by the us that india and also voted against it along with other countries, but also by russia and china because, well both countries have strong supporters of paula assigned to you and membership. They are concerned according to the sources that granting a certain type of rights and privileges could set. A precedent for other would be un members with russia being concerned about the costs of the in china about taiwan. So this em passed a resolution widely supported resolution to move on to the security. It calls the where a bit police send a membership pay less than a month ago, up to the us used its vito and veto the resolution. Yeah, thats right. It, it looks like the us has planning to do that yet again with this resolution, the w as Benjamin Alvarez group are with the latest from washington to benjamin. Thank you. I as well the board in gaza is casting a shadow over the Eurovision Song Contest in sweden, israels entering. You see, youre behind me here. Even golden secured a place in the finale at the 2nd semi final on thursday evening.

Many a calling for view, as to boy called the show. Those protests have made the way to the stage to earlier in the wake form, a swedish contestant eric side, or a palestinian coffee around his wrist, organizes cold, his actions regressive will. And they also forced islands bound b, sog to change their outfit. It had featured messages including the word seas file band. The thug is one of 2 non binary contestants. Dcea Fan Favorites nemo from switzerland is performing this own code about the journey of self discovery. If i the, when it will be assessed for non binary auto sit univision, just singing the song in front of a Live Audience and knowing that so many people are listening. It just it, it made me really emotional it made. Is it so much with me . The 26 nations that through saturdays grand final, some like on maney are in grace, have much the culture in language with the contest. Usually flamboyant, era pump flat which countries like the netherlands of fully embraced the contest and to face a backlash at home. So im in spain of criticize their navy losa for warranty lyrics and dense moves.

The ukraine says adviser has launched a new ground defensive on the countries northeastern border. Advancing about one kilometer inside ukraine. Officials say that there was massive showing in the town a volt johnson, near the city of heart chief ukraine has rushed reinforcements to the region to shore up local defenses. Ukrainian forces are evacuating residents. At least one civilian we understand has been killed in the showing. The grades president s zalinski says that the military had anticipated the attack when he says, quote, a fierce battle and it is under way green. The city where you tom, all right, from where i went across now to our corresponding economy, he is in keith. Nick, what did you make of this latest news coming from the park . Hes region. Whats going on of the front . Its really difficult to get a handle on the situation. The geography is pretty complex. Youve got some fighting going on near of of chance, which is about 70 kilometers northeast of kind of give just on that russian frontier but use a half of pulse, fighting directly north of kind of give in the kind of village along the board of this which which are about themselves, 50 comes away as the crow flies from of chance. And then reports of some of the, some of the villages also affected slightly further away. So this is a big area. This is a reminder that ukraine has a very, very long border about a 1000 kilometers with russia. So even away from the front lines, there is no surgeon needs to be controlled. And they have been expectation that something might happen because especially was building up troops in that part of the country. And you just a couple hours ago, it really seemed like maybe theyd be rolling and then trying to take kind of give you credit 2nd city. That doesnt seem to be the case. Now weve actually had a report recently from the Regional Government saying that russia has to be able to get in touch and theyve been pushed back, you know, opposite choice. That is the conclusive also theres lots reports of basically worst and secretary groups crossing the border and operating kind of classically behind the brand new lines. Lots of questions and new friends. Not how that was possible. Why this board was not better closed off. Why they wouldnt mind fields what it was across and it just really kind of reminds us of the chaos last summer when you had, you bring it back to russian x l groups doing the same thing on the russian side of the board. It really seems like its kind of catholic kind of border rates, duration we cant really tell what is going for now. Yeah, we know that you creating forces are already struggling to hold the line in the eastern part of the country. This could look like its hit by russia to start a 2 front board. But as you said, we dont know. I mean, could this then be the major question of salt that ukraine has been bracing for . Of the i just came back from the front lines in the east a couple of weeks ago. And when youre off people where they are, the soldiers that are with the locals. Are you expecting some big russian adults some push they say to you . Its already started. Its been way more intensive in the last couple months since ukraine started getting less than the way of west to weapons and the russian so that child, so they didnt really see much shots from all. But certainly there is. And his reputation that this could be about diversionary tactics, rush to try to force your brain to send troops to the fact give region to weaken those offensive. These especially want to wait for those 60000000000. 00 of usa to reach the front lines. And we have seen lots of tool in versus state media about basically so i think kind of give trying to kind of create product and look through the population trying to pull people to leave that city to give up. And to basically move further away from the rest of the board, as the definitely says, the russians wont be able to these get, they have busy amounts. Theres no way that they wouldnt really have if this was just about the military side. And for now, it is a very different situation. Theyve had basically be an air raid alarm for the best part of 10 hours. The so it is very different the locals and most people who are closer to the border, not missing, hug city itself because the border are definitely attacking the case. And even if itd be z kindly be the least denied from keith ukraine. Nick, as always, thank you. For earlier, nick filed a report for us on a new threat to merging for troops on the front line. Russian glide bobs, you looked at how you created and troops are learning to live the deal with this growing threat. Russian blood booms tearing to a ukrainian hanger early in 2024. At least thats according to Russian Ministry blog is. Russian and ukrainian social media has been full of these kinds of images in recent months. But seeing it on the screen, but it doesnt quite prepare you for seeing the impact these weapons can have your own noise. This is the damage done by the smallest kind of like pump currently used by russia to almost 50. 00. Just a small pot of big lot going through it just this was a 250 kilogram. Glad pump it up to give you a sense of scale. Im to make this tool. These are great new, so just know to well what it feels like to be the receiving end of russian glad bowman text tell us. They 1st came up against them about a year ago. Recent months theyve been getting bigger and more frequent. Im so glad problems, mike is using sound. Did you hear that sound . And soon enough theres an explosion. Youve got debris flying around and then the shock way for you to send you a song. Right now its the russians go to weapon to force out infantry out of theyve got screw, supposedly giving you. It says im glad to flatten everything out. It doesnt matter how did you did your trenches at one hope. This will is the 1st to seek live booms, use a widely into such effect, but the Technology Behind them isnt completely new. This is a hybrid. What then . Some live bombs that just conventional dumb bones. They have turned into precise smart bombs with the addition of special wing kits and satellite navigation systems. Crucially, they can fly up to 70 kilometers. These are thank you. That means russian pilots can launch these guy comes out of range of most ukranian air defenses. And by re purposing soviet era booms from its foss, dont bios russia can produce these weapons that speed a follow it costs than any equivalent. So see when the water is, do you have reached the beach . These russian bombs are cheaper than anything the us has endorsed. They use the same police to mechanics and a very primitive wing cases. I wont take, you wont wait. The whole thing cost less than 20000. 00 likes it. This is the lady was not fully complex comparison. Even the cheapest christmas owls russian as far didnt ukraine, are estimated to cost around a 1000000. 00 each to produce . Or Something Like drums often fail to detonate. The ukranian troops, the challenge to better understand the weapon that they face showed theyve put together crudely, but theyre effective. I do know damage the knots. Hillary clinton, gradients of us, where the country doesnt try to build its own guide. Palms producing these weapons isnt the problem. The notion of safely is more rushes. S 400 Defense Systems down ukraine, your planes up to 200 kilometers away. Ukrainian experts and soldiers agree, theres a new one realistic onset to rush, just like problems. And thats matching rushes capacity to shoot down the planes that can carry these booms. Ukraine is already proven that its possible. You can, youre forced to say they shut down more than a dozen russian planes to february alone. Most experts believe that was down to west and supplied patriot Defense Systems. That is until the much the Russian Forces were able to destroy to ukrainian patriot launches, sustain ukraine has kept his handful of patriot systems away from the front lines preferring instead to protect the countries big cities. Until you can get some more of these Defense Systems, can again afford to take risks. Russian planes kinda like bombs, will have little to for you to now from the air to underwater. Scientists say that they now know more about health sperm wells communicate. They say sperm wells, use a language, and that is much more sophisticated and previously taught with the help of artificial intelligence. A global team of marine biologist, linguists and other researchers say that they have found similarities to the human language. They hope that the data can be used to better protect the widths. Cracking the code of the scam. Well, language scientists working in the caribbean waters have decoded the Building Blocks of their communication patterns. After years of analysis, they believe the mammals use a phonetic alphabet. The discovery is taking us from a hypothesis that animal communication follows fairly simple patterns to a hypothesis that there is much more complexity than previously thought. And the ability of wells to vocalize to code us carries signals that have much more information content than previously thought. These coders are clicking sounds similar to morse code. Scientists recorded the wells in the eastern caribbean. The study focused on the structure of the codes, but not their meaning. The next step is to pair this data with a behavioral analysis. Only then could this language be fully decoded. So could humans one day communicate with sperm wells . It is a great, were just at the very beginning of this process. And i think theres a lot more research that we have to do before we know whether its a good idea to try to communicate with them or really even they have a sense of whether that will be possible. Millions of well code is still need to be collected. Scientists hope that a deeper understanding of their language could help protect the endangered species. A british toddler who was born deaf can now here, thanks to groundbreaking gene therapy. Researchers say that it marks a new era in the treatment of deafness. She might not be a musician yet, but also having a hearing restored. Opal cannot hear the music she plays unaided. She was born completely desk because of the genetic mutation, the effect of surgery that took just 16 minutes amazed, have hired when the trying to copy all of this was opal has a mutation in a gene which should allow cells in the, in the air to communicate with the hearing of during the surgery, she received an infusion, which contained a working copy of the gene. A homeless virus is used to carry the gene to its destination. What viruses are designed to do . What that purpose is is for them to put the genetic material into cells. And so im the, with this attenuated that in of ours we can drop a tiny little packet of Genetic Information into the cells. And that will provoke a change that is not flowing. We think the treatment can only kill deafness that is caused by this defective gene researches think it can also be effective against other genetically based to seizes. For other people and her family, the, the treatment has had a big impact, allowing them to enjoy the Little Things like a bedtime story. This is exciting news and im joined now by one of the people behind this new therapy saying you chin is a senior author of the study which was published in the lancet. Hes a professor at harvard medical school. He joins me now from boston, massachusetts professor. Its good to have you with this of this little girl. She went from being deaf, being born jeff, to be able to hear. So tell us exactly how was this possible . So these are the possible you be c
