Controlling everything around us so the world the economy the media and on top of that theyre also running a global child sex trafficking ring members of this couple allegedly include the obamas the Clintons George soros and even Oprah Winfrey and tom hanks you know they also claim that they are torturing and murdering children to harvest their blood for satanic rituals and so who then according to the conspiracy will save the world from the right you know q.

Thank you very much thank you all the winners of the prestigious nobel prize in chemistry have been announced in stoke on this here the prize goes jointly to Jennifer Doudna from the u. S. And french scientists and the new washed up on da for the development of a method for genome is a thing that technology is already contributing to new therapies against cancer and could help inherited diseases. Visit the. Lab a couple of years back to find out about what. It was a Great American discovery 8 years ago emmanuelle together with jennifer did not find a way to rewrite the code of life or d. N. E. Nih the scientists have been recognized for their break 3 with the nobel chemistry price. Yeah i feel extremely new. To receive these ideas from cognition from sweden its a great discovery and not very happy to be one of the 5 years. Of cease discovery for. The 2 scientists figured out how bacteria defend themselves against invading viruses in the process they discovered that this natural mechanism can be used as a tool to modify d. N. A. The result was the crisper cast in genomes that theres. A simple quick and precise tool to change the genome. Heres how it works the sensors are actually a protein which is given a kind of search term for example e. G. Seen in this simplified model our d. N. A. Is made up of lots of different combinations of codes like these the says are proteins scans a copy of the d. N. A. And when its very in the search word says are activated and they cut the section i. Then a different section of d. N. A. Can be inserted. What i think is is what is the most interesting and fascinating about this discovery is that you you dig into the nature and you try to understand that trying to make his arms over life and you and decipher and make that you can really use and harness for the copper so for. The genome says are already being used by plant researchers to create a higher yielding stream of corn as well as mushrooms that stay fresh for longer. Unknown allergenic peanuts. The discovery has sparked heated ethical debates about the manipulation of nature. But theres no direct about its current potential. In the future it could also be harnessed to treat cancer or other genetic diseases. And hermana before we go about top story the cell service couples out saw the math and scored as if our leaders of the countrys far right Golden Dawn Party guilty of running a criminal organization that it comes after a marathon 5 year trial the defendants face up to 15 years in prison.

These are the doctors and nurses at the front line. The 2nd wave is here. Spains capital madrid is europes new coronavirus hotspot but medical staff say theyre ready. To. Be back in one cell for now its truly sharpened our treatment here we have more experience in what to do and when to do it. But dont were getting patients into intensive care as soon as possible. And if need be were putting them on ventilators earlier than usual so. You know. Theres some good news the speed of new infections in spain is waning. That could change. Whatever the case madrid is back under lockdown a great deal of europe is reintroducing restrictions as infection spike is imposing a curfew from saturday parts of the city and now hotspots in germany daily coronavirus cases have hit a new high since april rising hospital rates have Health Officials worried in the u. K. The governments reviewing measures in iceland pubs clubs and arcade holes and gyms are closed there are fears the latest wave of infections could be much higher than the 1st and paris has shot at spas but there is resistance. To. This is pathetic when you look at whats happening with public transport people are crammed together in metros and buses. Is a sub i think its stupid its a political issue the government is constantly manipulating people left right and center with economic interests. Running an economy and keeping a pandemic at bay is a balancing act so far the virus hasnt overwhelms germanys hospitals but theyre in a better position to tackle the 2nd wave. Bruno table had just started working here at the hell eos clinic in berlin when the coronavirus pandemic reached germany. The young assistant doctor is still impressed by just how quickly the hospital reacted in march. For example we reallocated parts of the central surgery area to be used as a new intensive care unit within 24 hours. Along with that entire coronavirus Treatment Centers were set up in berlin equipment was scarce and management were worried there werent enough ventilators many hospitals had to improvise the 1st wave of infection took the hell yes clinic by surprise. From the cup at the place far as testing capacities are concerned in terms of masks and protective clothing we are prepared we know where and when you talk about allies patients we can make quick diagnoses and quick decision once. Everyone who arrives at the hospital is tested for coronavirus before theyre admitted and patients are strictly separated those who test negative go to the green ward those who test positive go to the red toward a suspected cases go to the yellow ward. Feels this system is safe. We havent seen a single case of patients infecting staff since these measures were initiated now treating coronavirus patients has become routine one of. The applause once heard from german balconies has quieted down people seem to have forgotten the significance of Health Care Workers that so many coronavirus deniers have taken to the streets in recent weeks is something nurses and doctors struggle to understand. Some people say well ive never seen coronavirus so i dont believe in it at all we have never seen electricity but i dont put my finger in the socket weve seen coronavirus here weve seen deaths. Bruno table has also seen the effects of the corona virus firsthand but he knows that his hospital is well prepared for what the pandemic might bring Monica Gandhi is an Infectious Disease doctor and research or with the university of california San Francisco monica great to have you on the show what do the rising rates need lockdowns and latest preparations all tell you you know who we are either in a 2nd wave or more likely the continuation of our 1st wave and unfortunately we havent gotten on top of this pandemic the keys are still raising and even raising interim many and throughout the United States and in europe however death rates are staying lower than they were during the 1st way why do you call lockdowns though a blunt instrument in the fight against the coronavirus. Because lock downs are extremely disruptive to the economy to the poor to workers to so many aspects of other aspects of Public Health and there are other ways that we can stay safe from infection and those pillars of pandemic control are essentially social distancing Wearing Masks and hey jeanne ventilation doing things outside when we can and stay away from large crowds but complete lockdown are completely blunt instrument theyre both active aspects of culture cult that were going to have ramifications for so long talking about crowds weve seen huge protests also here in berlin against these lockdowns mean a justified or or is it quite. Counterproductive considering these people are all coming together and maybe not wearing mobs so its completely counterproductive to be in large crowds without masks so there is absolute full acknowledgement of the seriousness of this disease and we have to completely change life as we know it Wearing Masks and usual. Complete social distancing is unusual not having large route is different having settings where we are keeping to small cohorts of groups doing things outside keeping things ventilated all of this is different life is different but it is risky to be in large crowds without masks in the setting of a pandemic i was just talking to friends in sweden theyre not wearing mosques the bars a full why if they say relax. You know sweden is a very interesting piece that we looked at for her for years and decades to understand what happened there is social distancing at the beginning there was sort of a recommendation to the public to stay away from each other there are a lot of deaths at the beginning very unfortunately because a lot of their vulnerable older people people in Nursing Homes died and whether there is more immunity in the population is being speculated i think thats likely true they do stay away from each other in general but youre right things are much more normal in sweden they took a different strategy they are in a different place but it was at high expense of the beginning if an interview you said how much virus your breathing is probably one of the most important determinants of how sick you get do you still stand by them. As you know we and others have been looking at that question of the viral dose or the viral inoculate the amount that you get it is proportional to how sick you get and weve not only been looking at this was part of virus this is actually been shown in. Manila many other Infectious Diseases are putting together a review paper on this now but the mean thing is that if this is true with chronic are as social distancing and wearing that mask reduces the amount of ours who get in and the likelihood that youre going to become ill and this seems to make sense in animal models in what weve been seeing this virus including decreasing mortality in places that are consistent with facial masking monica 2 quick questions for you what do you think about your president s message that hes sending to the rest of the world. I think president trumps message is dangerous and we did kill lists and he has been. Flouted almost all Public Health recommendations cept for testing he doesnt mask he doesnt actually distance he keeps large crowds he doesnt Contact Trace in the case of this disaster he didnt isolate it in encourage quarantining he just tested theres only one strategy of the pandemic and its not enough and lastly if you could sum it up in one word whats going through end this pandemic. You know it is not being normal for at least a year plus the vaccine on top of it so it is Wearing Masks stay away from each other hand washing and then waiting for that safe and effective vaccine but not completely shutting down society you heard it from Monica Gandhi thank you very much for being on this earth the day 8 here and now its their aquariums chance to answer your questions on the coronavirus if you want to look into something in particular just write to us on our future channel. If i free covered from covert 19 do i still have to wear a mask. Sometimes its easy to forget that that millions and millions of people worldwide have also recovered from covert 19 and want to return as much as possible to life as usual but what does coming out the other end mean are you safe from the disease because youre immune can you still pose a potential danger to others do you need to continue to social distance and wear a mask its all questions that we still dont have a firm answers to we just have to guess and rely on what we know from other Infectious Diseases particularly those caused by other coronaviruses based on what weve seen so far with coke at 19 people do acquire some immunity the problem is we dont know for how long on average but we do know is that with other corona viruses that infect humans immunity can wane pretty swiftly there are a number of studies that convincingly show that people can be really infected with some of them within a year and there have been a few isolated documented cases of that also happening with covert 19 also at least in some of those cases the people who were infected showed no symptoms the 2nd time around so were they infectious to others we dont know and to me it seems like in general that until we have better data when it comes to questions that we have to answer with we dont know we should be erring on the side of caution so in the face of this particular we dont know i go for the fallback position which is to continue to assume that masking up is a way to protect yourself and others even if youve recovered from covert 19.
