Think about it he asked since tweeted that we will be hearing from someone in the community in Oregon this half hour and here in the u.k. Young zookeeper has been mauled by a tiger more on that shortly. But 1st the former military leader of Panama General Manuel until near Noriega has died at the age of 83 his death was announced by part of his secretary of state for communication Noriega recently underwent an operation after suffering a hemorrhage following brain surgery that he had been a key u.s. Ally with Washington ignoring his repressive rule but in 1900 he was forcibly removed from power when American troops invaded he was later gels in the u.s. On drugs and laundering charges and then in 2010 after 17 years in jail Noriega was extradited to France before returning to Panama to face trials for corruption murder and human rights abuses I've been talking to Chris Dickey Chris is an author and Paris based foreign editor of The Daily Beast he was working as a journalist in Panama back in the eighty's he also personally knew General Noriega one of those men who long outlasted his fame I think many people listening to the program now probably never heard of him but back in the early 1980 s. He was one of the most infamous strongman dictators in the world as the United States 1st supported him and worked with him as he as you said and then decided to get rid of him after he became really too ruthless dictator in Panama for them to stomach you knew him what was he like as a man and as a leader. Well he was one of those people who some ways was quite transparent I knew him as he was maneuvering his way to power after he was the intelligence tree for Panama but what was called the Panama National Guard when I met him and then he he forced out the head of the military and then he forced out the president and he was kind of unabashed about the whole thing when he. Forced out the president the official reason was the civilian president the official reason was that the President Aristide's Royal had a sore throat and I called up Noriega and I said you know look I'm writing for The Washington Post I can't say the president of Panama resigned because he had a sore throat and he's and Noriega said Well Ok on background you can say this was a constitutional cool upon a mania whatever that meant what it meant was Noriega was absolutely in control after that I wonder if his legacy will be different in different parts of the world I'm curious now how you think he would be viewed back in his home country now I don't think there's any particular love for him he really he was a ruthless man he did not bring a lot that was good to the country although other dictators or strong men sent him like for instance shadows and in Venezuela tried to follow similar tactics but Noriega was right at the juncture if you will between. Panamanian politics and military on the one hand the Colombian drug cartels on the other and the CIA On the other because he positions himself in the middle of the counter communist wars being waged by the CIA and the United States at that period and he thought that Washington could never give him up because he could expose so much about what they were doing if anybody missed him probably it would be the CIA not the people of Panama when I was going to say to you relations soured so badly big because well well it was because they they felt he was becoming too brutal but was that justice was that just it wasn't that he was setting off in you know his services to other other places where he was alternately It was completely unreliable from the point of view of the American kind destine services because he did start trading information and selling off the services to others particularly remember that this is. As we saw the beginning of the crack up to Dimock in the United States it was a huge issue and Noriega was deeply in bed with the Midian cartel there was little tolerance for a moment basis Chris Dickey the foreign editor of The Daily Beast. A genocide in Panama back in the eighty's and someone who knew General Noriega now American Scientists say they have made a breakthrough in their battle against one of the biggest threats to global health infections that are resistant to antibiotics they've modified an existing medicine Vancomycin to create what they call a magical new version of Vancomycin was losing its ability to treat common but Terry that can cause you run retracts and willing to fight infections the new version of the drugs about a 1000 times more powerful and attacks in 3 different ways making it much less likely that the bugs will fight back Dr Dale Bogle is from the Scripps Research Institute in California and he's the lead researcher redesigned molecule they have the basic structure of income I have found that with 3 small changes for structure to address for strength of mice and resistance and to small changes to additional ways for the compound to kill bacteria 3 ways the new version now is $1000.00 times more powerful than the original version so what will it do in addition to the increased potency which removed the last of the drug would need to be in order to treat a bacterial infection and the 2 additional changes that improve the potency also are acting by different mechanisms for growing bacteria so it increases what we call the durability of the end of ionic Tor resistance so it's even more difficult than the original bank myosin for resistance to emerge against the new drug Ok And it did tax in 3 different ways what was all those ways. All 3 act of the bacterial cell wall which are you to bacteria have not found in the middle of you or human cell lines so it's a good target for anti-bacterial agents and each of the 3 changes affect the integrity of the bacterial cell wall in 3 different ways 3 different proteins or targets that they interfere with the World Health Organization has warned that antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health because the drugs used on them are becoming less effective and here comes Vancomycin correct and most exciting part of the discovery is 3 independent ways of killing bacteria within a single molecule but they were dreaming sensitive to the drug for much longer than typical antibiotics used in the clinic today but our hope is that others will take this is inspiration for other classes of antibiotic and try and devise ways where it's similar approaches could be developed for other classes of natural. Antibiotics So how long before this new version of bank myosin is made available Well we hope. That we can accomplish that Pym a next 5 years the molecules the actual drugs in são have probably been discovered the ones that we actually prepared certainly merit preclinical testing for introduction into the clinic but we still have to go through the pre clinical development in order to make them available that's the decision Dr Dale bogo from the Scripps Institute in California you know since Newsday from the b.b.c. Also visit Connie I'm normally a reminder of all top stories this morning General Manuel Noriega the fluent page of Panama has died also a powerful cycling which has struck the coast of Bangladesh has fooled hundreds of thousands of people out of that Haim's 10.

Is the key keeper has been killed by tigers a wildlife park in Cambridge 33 year old Rosa King died yesterday in what boss is a homicide so you park are describing as a freak accident our correspondent been on there was at the park for this morning but are we getting any more details about exactly what happened. While the park itself is whole holding an internal investigation to try to to work out what did happen 33 year old Rosa King who has been described as a shining light and someone who was devoted to the animals in her care with a particular interest in the big cats and affinity for cheaters was more to death when she was in an enclosure and a tiger was in the same enclosure so a lot of the investigation I think will try to work out how it came to be that the she and the tiger were in that same space with such a devastating and tragic result this in itself is close where I'm standing right now is by the the locked front gates and there is a small sign apologizing for any inconvenience that the police. Here yesterday after the accident happened and they spent the day here carrying out various friends ix examinations they've concluded that there are no suspicious circumstances to this that it's really just a tragic accident but of course people here at the park will want to work out why it happened and perhaps whether there are any lessons to be learned and then the people herself 33 year old Rosie King is there anything we know about her. We know that she was very very respected and liked here at the park she was someone that a friend has described as the shining light here she is somebody who friend of hers a wildlife photographer named Garrett Chisholm has told the b.b.c. That she cared passionately about the animals in her care and he said that if there is any consolation to her death is that she can now be with some of those animals that she has cared for and looked after over the years of course when this happened the part was busy it's a bank holiday in the United Kingdom yesterday and there were lots and lots of families lots of visitors lots of people here and they too have paid tribute to the professionalism of the other staff in the center they said that when this happened many of them ran towards the tiger enclosure and others very calmly very professionally stayed all the guests and all the visitors away from the danger and towards the exit door of course the park has stressed that at no time were any of the animals actually out of their enclosures and there was no real risk to the public Thank you Ben That's our correspondent Ben speaking to us from Hamad since the park in Cambridge in the now the Iraqi authorities say they'll take full control of Mosul from so-called Islamic state by June 10th after more than 7 months of fighting the United Nations says that the 10s of thousands of civilians trapped there are facing their greatest dangers since the fight siege began a journalist Campell McDermott has just returned from Mosul but 1st I started off by asking about an attack which had taken place in Baghdad in the last few hours a car bomb bomb that was detonated outside an ice cream parlor in an area of the city popular with families the Karada areas is a popular area for going out Ramadan it's just that it's an evening of you know families go out and and I've got friends in Baghdad who live nearby and they said that it's that city have the best ice cream and that's where people. You know gather in the streets you've got vendors selling candy floss and popcorn and balloons and young families gathering so it's kind of a Bryce and bustling area which you point to as you know one of the places to show that you know life always goes on in Baghdad so it was attacked last night and over 10 people were killed. And a 2nd a 2nd bomb detonated when the ambulances arrived on the scene so you know it was a really dreadful dreadful seeing but a friend says that you know the Smalling that the area is being cleaned up and the destroyed tables stacked away and life is going on again I mean you you said that twice that life goes on despite the uncertainty in the levels of thread people just you know wouldn't think twice they just go in and they get an ice cream from this place is that just the general attitude of people in Iraq that there's just this is just what they need to do. Yeah well I mean what else can you do and you know that they've been living with this kind of uncertainty and the threat of random violence in their lives the so long that you do have to go on and continuing to live a normal life in these circumstances does become sort of like an act of resistance I mean let's look at the deadline forces a saying that the June the 10th they will take full control of Mosul this is a very specific date can you see this happening Well I mean that the reason why that particular date has been picked out is because back in 2014 that was when. ISIS took control of the city so it's coming up on 3 years so that's a symbolic date but there's obviously huge pressure on the Iraqi security forces to get this done and the pressure is coming you know right from the top from Prime Minister a body down and there have been previous Did lines that were sit and obviously not achieved so badly originally said he was going to free all of Iraq and 2016 then more recently people are saying you know this needs to be done by the start of Ramadan which started on Friday so this is another you know this was what offices in Mosul were telling me you know they want to get it done by the end their men have been fighting units and it's 8 months now so they really tired a lot of their comrades have been killed and injured so it's just a sign of how eager they are to get it done but I think it could still be a little optimistic to expect they could clear the entire Old City and its you know winding streets and blind alleys with you know by June 10th June this camp will like to make his just return from those well thank you very much let's get the business news now in full service has a paddy been received on British Airways but the company's prospects are very much up in the pan Alex Ritson is here Alex this was a bit of a disaster Bush I was Cato's the latest Yes most of the 5 schools cancelled over the bang. Probably we can latest from British Airways our i.t. Systems are now back up and running and we will be operating a full flight to our jewel at Heathrow and Gatwick but be a warning it may take some time to reunite travelers with their bags this was all caused by a computer failure which be a chief executive Alex Cruz now says was caused by a power surge apparently there was a backup system didn't work the g.m.b. Union which is the main union representing workers in the u.k. Is blaming the problems on technical stuff being outsourced from the u.k. To India that's a claim which has been denied by Mr Cruz in an interview with the b.b.c. He insisted he is not going to resign how much is this going to cost British Airways interesting question and a very hard one to answer There were 75000 people affected by the flight outage or I'm told 25000 of those people still haven't been able to travel now how much that's going to cost well. I don't think we're going to know them some time but that you can make some guesses some educated guess is there are analysts who suggest that the direct cost to be a is something like $40000000.00 a day that puts the total cost for this of just direct costs something between $130.00 and $190000000000.00 But the shares have just opened on the London Stock Exchange that down 4 percent it's closed of course over the bank holiday weekend that means that just on the loss in the value of the share price it's down something like $650000000.00 And of course that is to some extent investors trying to price in what damage this is going to do to the company's reputation going forward and also passengers themselves they're going to be seriously out of pocket their principal for reports actually passengers spending more than a 1000 dollars to get access to empty seats in premium economy just to get a seat on the plane because they need to get somewhere they need to get home or they need to get on holiday or whatever. Might have been there also reports of passengers paying almost a dollar a minute to ring a special be a number to register their claims for compensation cost passengers how to write on the e.u. Compensation rules tonight in a hotel if their flights were delayed overnight and yet we saw people sleeping on the floor in the airport when they were asked why one person I saw said b.a. Had offered him $250.00 towards the cost of a hotel he could get a room in London for less than $500.00 So this is one that could run for a while Alex some Thank you now later on Tuesday Jeremy Christian will appear in court in Oregon charged with the double murder of men who died trying to protect 2 women from abuse the attack in the city of Port and caused outrage in the United States over the weekend and President Donald Trump was heavily criticized on social media for not condemning the attack for more than 36 hours on Monday he did tweet from the official presidential account saying that the violent attacks in Portland on acceptable the victims was standing up to hate and intolerance Zakia Khan is a committee member with the Council of American Islamic Relations in Oregon I asked him what he made of that reaction from the White House I think many American Muslims really presume that the president wasn't going to say anything because just a couple weeks ago that there was another hate crime incident that happened in Eugene That's about 2 and a half hour south of Portland and present with anything and when we actually followed up with the Department of Justice and the f.b.i. Regarding that incident we couldn't get any sort of comment so when the president finally coming out and saying something I think to many people in American Muslim community and even some people here in Portland we view this as with skepticism that something is actually going to change have you seen an increase in this kind of hate speech that you're talking about not just one incident in the last couple of years we actually have seen that their hands have been going up Kerry's own statistics have showed just in the 1st quarter that they're up. But we're also seeing there's a significant rise here in Oregon as well I can't go into a lot of great details about this but just this evening there was another solid public incident that happened here so how is the Muslim community in Oregon dealing with these incidents and I think that you're seeing definitely from a lot of community members that there's a lot of trauma and vicarious trauma one thing that we try to do as an organization is try to reach out and provide mental health resources to people that people are out there but there's definitely a lot of trauma happening there's a lot of people that are afraid to even leave their homes now are to even get out in public you know can you just imagine yourself and put yourself in the shoes of a Muslim woman that's wearing a head job who will protect potentially be facing people that are you know driving cross on the street and want to make absolutely ridiculous remarks hateful remarks and so that could be very very scary for those individuals and then also for their families around them to have to witness that that could be really scary and costly very traumatic and really tells people you know like you if you're if this is something that you're
