Have died from the disease in the democratic republic of congo now to have died in neighboring uganda. To protest in hong kong delayed progress of a controversial extradition bill again the territories chief executive calls wednesdays demonstration a blatant organized riot to protest organizers call for another mass demonstration on sunday. Plus the football womens world cup in france germany will almost certainly reach the knockout stages of the tournament after a hard fought one to win over spain. Im sumi so misconducts good to have you with us we start with what could be another escalation of tension in the gulf region to oil tankers have reportedly been attacked but the crews of both vessels have been evacuated now why. Of the tankers is reported to have sunk but the owner says it hasnt the election attacks come at a time where tensions between the u. S. And iran are running high. To oil tankers in the gulf of oman damaged under mysterious circumstances their crews forced to evacuate its an incident reminiscent of the widely criticised sabotage attacks of last month. The norwegian operated front altera carrying a highly flammable Petroleum Product and the panama flag cuckoo cuckoo courageous carrying methanol were both allegedly targeted in iranian waters near the strategic strait of hormuz a conduit for a 5th of all global oil consumption. Iranian news outlets say local search and rescue teams have picked up 44 sailors from the front altera before it sank in the gulf of oman but the vessels norwegian owner says the tanker remains afloat confusion about the situation from a els a norwegian authorities have called on its ships in the region to exercise extra caution shortly after the suspected attack oil prices soared jumping as much as 4 percent highlighting how crucial the area remains to Global Energy supplies. And irans foreign minister has just commented on the incident on twitter mohammed jeffords aretha tweeted this a short while ago he said the reported attacks on japan related tankers occurred while Prime Minister shinzo abbay was needing with Ayatollah Khomeini for extensive and friendly talks suspicious doesnt begin to describe what likely transcribed the transpired this morning irans proposed Regional Dialogue Forum is imperative. Lets get some analysis on the story now we have our security expert mike ts fun hine with us time a ts give us the latest on what youre hearing about these incidents. Well i think the report pretty much summed up everything we know. There are conflicting reports about what happened to those tankers. One of those tankers was said to have been sunk. Other sources say its still afloat the crew is and i think thats very important for crews to rescue they have been evacuated the 44 seamen have been rescued by an iranian vessel 20 other seamen have been rescued as well from the other tanker. I think it is important to really point out. How important the strait of hormuz is where this incident this attack happened its really the most important all to refile energy for crude oil on this planet 20 percent one 5th of all crude all of all an Energy Moving through it so any attack any incidents that is really of the utmost relevance so much is given the strategic importance of these waters if these are confirmed to have been deliberate attacks who could the chief suspects here be. Well i think a lot of fingers will point to iran. Whether this is ok or not but iran has in the past repeatedly warned that if it is not able to export oil through the strait of hormuz it will make sure others wont export either and iran and all export are hit very very hard by the tightening u. S. Sanctions but then again as. Iranian forest and minister zarif pointed out at this very moment the japanese Prime Minister is in iran trying to save the nuclear deal there has been a lot of diplomatic push in recent days to keep this nuclear deal afloat with the German Foreign minister heikal mosque in tehran on monday and major very important e. U. Foreign Affairs Officials on their way to the region so one has to be aware you why at this point in time iran would do such an attack on the other hand there are other actors in the region who might have an interest in keeping the tensions high in stoking tensions between the u. S. And iran our security expert my ts fun hind speaking with us thank you. Now a leading Biomedical Research organization is calling the current outbreak of ebola in the democratic republic of congo truly frightening the u. K.

One outbreak in that yes he is still going on and by today we have over 2000. Confirmed cases and so the probability over more cases forcing go from the d. R. A c. Into uganda these are very high. In poland isnt new to uganda the country has seen 5 al breaks of the disease since the year 2000 it has now stepped up efforts to contain the virus screening every person coming in from the eastern d r c the government is also deploying an experimental ebola vaccine for Health Care Workers along the border we are very close. That many more coming to support the response than this maybe more people will not be vaccinated and so will try to push out of the box in that one again more. Frontline hill to our cause other work us unring bucks the nation for the content. Because of past successes in combating the disease uganda is widely regarded as being at the forefront of the fight against involucre but faced with them. Most recent cases many ugandans feel uneasy and wish their country did more to educate citizens about the virus the government does not done enough to cystitis people about it because they think the up in order to meet should have started the from the rule areas but you know when people have the symptoms they want to hide on in the mix with a group of predation which now spreads diseases to to wipe away the area of serious cause i havent seen any symptom over the border but they.

Lets bring in reporter sherry chan she is from hong kong and shes been looking into this aspect of the story for us terry 1st of all tell us about how hong kong protesters have been using telegram so far so its a very Important Message at fall protests in hong kong and actually there are lots of different groups prepared for different purposes in the protests for example in some groups they would talk about the news about the pros has and responses from government officials and others that they would use it to show some practical information and for example in another group they would talk about how face my. Face boss they should get and where they can get them and how much they are and they even the group that provides the Legal Services for the protests do we know what i. Actually happened with the cyber attack on telegram is there any indication that china has been interfering so china didnt say anything about the accusation that they have been attacking telegram telegram has that they have received a message for texts and ip addresses they are region native in china and thats what the c. E. O. Of telegram said in his cot and one thing thats important to note that telegram is banned in china and so to have this message scale of attack really nice quite some organization yeah so telegrams been an important tool for the protesters in hong kong how will they organize themselves Going Forward actually. Messaging surfaces but they are more careful about their identities so they dont. They dont use. They dont use their real names and some sources even told me that inside the protest sites they try not to take pictures with their phones and so if anyone is taking pictures off of them its probably the police will try to record their faces and to have consequences for an important story there cherry chan reporting for us thank you very much.

Youre watching news still to come on the show fighting back this filipino martial artist is using her skills to help victims of child abuse. But 1st in china more than 1000000 pigs have been culled since last august as authorities try to stop an outbreak of african swine fever that the deadly disease in pigs has fred rapidly across the country and region experts say there are still ways to get the epidemic under control african swine fever is raging in vietnam and the pig killing disease has ruined many Small Farmers here since jumping the border with china back in february almost 2000000 pigs have been put down as authorities try to limit the spread of the pathogen but it moves fast though it doesnt affect humans the virus can cause infected hogs to suffer terribly and the most virulent strains will kill them they can be transmitted to domesticated herds via wild pigs and Meat Products made from the flesh of infected animals are another potential source of infection with the highly contagious virus vietnam and china are at the center of this scourge officially china the worlds biggest port producer says its called a 1000000 animals since the epidemic began though many experts believe the number is far higher outbreaks have also been reported in mongolia cambodia and most recently north korea. The price for live pigs has soared by around 40 percent since african swine fever struck east asia pork is a staple product in many countries here and around half of all the pigs on the planet are raised in china until no researchers have struggled to come up with a vaccine to prevent the disease but now a small scale study in spain is providing a glimmer of hope. W. Science correspondent Garrick Williams is with us to tell us more about this story hi derek we heard there at glimmer of hope so can you tell us more about the research into finding a vaccine is the most recent publication on it was a vaccine that was developed by a group in in spain in madrid and they did a test with whats called an attenuated live vaccine and now if you remember back to your school days when they talked of when you learned about vaccines in school its the same sort of idea that we have with cowpox and smallpox genesis are isolated a cow pox virus and gave it to people and they then develop the antibodies that helped prevent them from getting smallpox so its the same kind of idea they found of wild boar this is also in Eastern Europe its been a popular its been a problem african swine fever has been a problem as well but with with strains of the virus that are quite as as a variant as the one thats thats hitting in china right now so they basically isolated a strain of this virus from a pig in Eastern Europe they attenuated that that means they weaken to even more and then they they they gave it to 18 wild boar piglets and lo and behold that also made them then immune to the more very ill in form of the disease of african of africans. Thats now currently such a scourge in china so this is a pretty complex process if it is successful how long would it actually take to implement its very very early days of a very small scale study and they showed some proof of concept but theyre going to have to go through a lot of safety tests and also to just to see how much of the virus is enough to do. To cause this immune effect there is one positive aspect of it as well which is that the pigs the wild pigs that were involved in the study the ones that had been inoculated also seem to be able to pass along their immunity to the non inoculated animals through a process called shedding so theoretically it could be a positive sign that pigs could basically inoculate themselves as long as you get it going but its still very early days of this point why is this swine fever so difficult to stop the spread of it well its incredibly infectious and also pigs that have the disease that that contract the disease there they often theyre shutting the virus themselves for a couple of days before they begin to show symptoms so by the time you have an animal that shows an infection its already too late its already infected all of the rest of the animals in the herd theres also the problem that its transmitted through wild boars which dont Pay Attention to any National Borders of course they cross and pigs are social animals so theres also ticks are another reservoir of the of the disease in the wild and then of course theres the problem that the meat remains infectious even after the animal has been slaughtered so pigs as you know will eat anything and its it can happen that pigs are actually fed other pig pig meat in the process as feed and then they contract the virus that way so once it gets entrenched its incredibly difficult to get rid of all right dark williams from d. W. Science thank you so much for explaining that story to us its now the 1st round of voting in the race to become the next british Prime Minister is underway each of the candidates to become leader of the conservative party has to secure at least 17 votes from their Party Lawmakers to stay in the race former foreign minister Boris Johnson is the current favorite the colorful character and brags that hardliner has vowed to leave the u. K. Out of the european union. The front runner has come to the fore Boris Johnson has promised to see through press it by the end of october which half of the cost at least that was his pledge to tory voters. If i get in will come out a deal my deal on the top of that over and over. Would that mean i would let me come back to baghdad and again yes. This is the same promise hes made to right wing members of the conservative party who joined him to kickstart the campaign. He gave me his word to my face that if he became Prime Minister we would leave only 31st of october dream of that advocates of a new deal bronx it may have to dream on indeed Boris Johnson moved away from his previous comments on the matter no longer supporting such a scenario. Its only if we have the guts and the courage to get ready for it that we will carry any conviction in brussels and get the deal we need because they dont want no deal anymore the idea of a policy closer to that of to reason may and one that confuse journalists in attendance youre telling some supporters youll do everything to avoid leaving the e. U. Without a deal and others that you gladly would do that can the Country Trust you Doris Johnson was not prepared to answer. Now the 5 g.
