5 00 a. M. Here in the u. S. East coast. Cnn newsroom starts right now. We begin in washington where the waiting game is on. As reported, first here on cnn, the first charges filed in Robert Muellers russia investigation were approved friday, we dont know who, and we dont know the precise charges, but arrests are expected as early as monday. One republican congressman says it is important not to lose sight of the big picture here. That is the russia meddling case. There has been a lot of developments over the course of the last couple of weeks. Some of which might favor one side of the aisle versus the other side. I think it is important for all of us to be approaching this entire issue, not as one side or the other side, but as americans. Im someone who believes that the russians did meddle in our elections in 2016. And that is, you know, part of this issue. Again in the meantime, the white house has not commented on the indictments, but has repeatedly called the investigation a witch hunt. The president s team is, though, speaking out against a familiar target, Hillary Clinton. Boris sanchez reports. Reporter the white house is not commenting on the latest news coming from Robert Muellers probe into alleged ties between the Trump Campaign and russia. But they are focusing a lot of their energy on a former political opponent of the president s, Hillary Clinton. Look at these tweets sent out by Sarah Sanders on saturday, she writes, quote, clintons spokesman just said hes dam glad Clinton Campaign colluded with russia to spread this information about the president and influence election. She goes on, the evidence Clinton Campaign dnc and russia colluded to influence the election is indisputable. That dam glad reference in quotations speaking about brian fallon who said that he was happy that the Clinton Campaign solicited the Opposition Research provided by fusion gps during the campaign. However, to call it collusion definitely goes a step further. Beyond that, earlier this week, House Republicans announced they were launching an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the sale of a Uranium Mining Company to russia. The president has alleged that the former secretary of state Hillary Clinton got bribes from russian s in exchange for a favorable uranium deal. And beyond that, cnn has learned that the white house pressed staffers to work with the department of justice to lift a gag order on a former fbi informant that has information on that sale in order for him to testify during the course of the investigation. Beyond all of that, the president is also pushing the state department to release emails that it still has pertaining to Hillary Clintons time as secretary of state. While the white house would be on the defensive, as news that charges stemming from Robert Muellers investigation are immine imminent, theyre on the offensive on opponent of the president that he defeated about 12 months ago. Boris sanchez, cnn, at the white house. Boris sanchez, stringing it all together, and there is a lot to string together. Lets talk about it now with ellis, the columnist behind trumps america in metro papers live for us in london this hour. Good to have you with us. Lets talk about the optics of the day, the president of the United States out golfing, the white house offering no comment to the reporting that charges are forth come and toding and ta single tweet on the president who seems to take pleasure on chiming in on a whim. What do you take of the noticeable silence on this issue . I think notable is a good word, an eerie silence i would call it. I think the recognition is settling in at 1600 pennsylvania avenue that this stuff could be pretty dangerous. I think, george, that explains the strategy we have seen over the past few tadays, as boris w saying, it is Something Like keep your eye off the ball. Watch all this other stuff, but please dont Pay Attention to bob mueller, his investigation. Well, lets talk about what they are talking about, ellis. Theyre talking about several things the white house shifting the focus of the president s former rival for that office, Hillary Clinton. Mr. Trump, even accusing clinton of colluding with russia, so this shift in focus, does that seem more than just coincidence in light of the indictments . It is designed to distract us, isnt it . Listen, clearly there is a huge story that we stand right on precipice of, the very first indictments in this investigation, serious investigation, into whether they tried to steal our election. Whatever Hillary Clinton might have done or someone somehow connected to her, it is hard to imagine that it rises to the level of the real investigation here. So it is designed to distract you. So at this point, we dont know the nature of these charges, we dont know who is charged. We do know that indictments are forth coming. Heres the question, though, if it turns out to be more tangential, money laundering, is that a political win for the president s case that there is no collusion . Thats what he claims . Heres the thing to remember. I know were all very impatient, but this is five months into a complex investigation. My god, it takes the fbi and federal prosecutors two, three years to do a narcotics investigation in the bronx. This is not slow. So we really are at the very, very earliest stages of this. And, youre right, it quite likely is something that is kind of on the periphery. Thats the way the things unfold. Start in the outer circles and you move inward. Thats the process here. We dont know who could be charged in this case. Ellis, the question here, we know several names that have been out there, people who are certainly under scrutiny of this investigation. So is this the sort of situation where you will see people on the lower end of the spectrum, who, you know, are caught in the net, and asked to, you know, bring the light to people who are higher up . Let the flipping begin, right . That would certainly be a common practice in these kinds of investigations. You want to start with the people on the outside, who can tell you about those above them. Again, this really is in the speculation territory. Lets see who it is. Lets see what it is they know. Lets see how close they are to the president. The one thing we do know for certain is this thing is not close to over. So whatever happens this week, recognize that thats still an early round. Ellis, you know, a lot happening, but here is the thing, we do understand that indictments are forth coming and indictment or indictments. So well have to see what happens this week. Ellis, thank you for helping us to get some understanding on it all. Good to see you. Moving on to spain, both government and catalan leaders call ing for calm at a time when tensions are very high in that country. In a few hours time, a pro unity demonstration is set to happen in barcelona, this as spains Central Government says that catalonias bid for independence, well, thats over. Yes, madrid has imposed direct rule on the region and dismantled its parliament after they voted overwhelmingly for independence on friday. Spains deputy Prime Minister is now in charge. But dismissed catalan president Carles Puigdemont is urging them to use opposition to advance their calls, with new elections called for december. Cnns Erin Mclaughlin joins us live from barcelona. How do they advance their cause with madrid coming down so hard and what power does the president of catalonia have anymore . Reporter those are all key questions, really. Were going to be looking at tomorrow in terps of whether or not the now dismissed president of catalonia Carles Puigdemont shows up for work. If he shows up at the Central Government offices here in barcelona and what happens if he does, how will madrid respond to that. Well be looking at that tomorrow. In terms of today, the folk us really being on this pro unity rally, we understand demonstrators have just begun to arrive for this rally. Were looking at a couple of things in terms of this demonstration, seen as a key litmus test. Well be looking at how many people show up to demonstrate, demonstration officially expected to begin in about an hours time. Catalonia is deeply divided on the subject of independence. It is worth noting that the lawmakers who passed this legislation calling for independence really only represent around 48 of the total electorate. There are plenty of people here in catalonia, who are not happy with the way things have unfolded, who are not happy with the catalan government. Well be looking to see how many of those people turn out in barcelona today to protest the catalan president and this declaration of independence. Were also going to be looking at how the local police known as the mosos respond. The police force of some 17,000 Police Officers across catalonia, theyre also seen to be deeply divided on the subject of independence. We have obtain eed internal letters that went out yesterday, calling on them to remain objective, to respect catalan institutions as the interior minister for spain sacked the head of the mosos, hes also being investigated for sedition. His passport confiscated. Well see how the Police Respond and the numbers that turn out for that demonstration today. We should point out, even though some people are for unity, others for independence, these people on the streets, this has been a very, very peaceful movement, has it not . Reporter it has. We have seen over the past weeks a large number turnout for demonstrations, hundreds of thousands of people, some of the demonstrations for independence, some of the demonstrations against independence. But for the most part, they have been peaceful. The violence that we saw on october 1st, the october 1st referendum, that was at the hands of the Spanish National police that came in and tried to enforce court orders declaring that referendum illegal. So it will be interesting to see, again, thats why were really focusing on the mosos and how they respond, because if they do not follow orders, if they do not follow what madrid says, then the national police, there is a possibility, would have to move in and establish law and order. So were just going to have to see how things play out and thats why this demonstration now unfolding, people are starting to arrive and it is expected to kick off in an hours time. Youll be covering it for us, Erin Mclaughlin, thank you. The u. S. President says that a border wall could help stop the Opioid Crisis in the United States. Next, cnns dr. Sanjay gupta goes to the Mexican Border to see just how effective a wall could be. Also, the crisis in puerto rico continues. Now, the potentially fatal threat lurking in the water after so many people look for ways to survive after Hurricane Maria. Stay with me, mr. Parker. When a critical patient is far from the hospital, the hospital must come to the patient. Stay with me, mr. Parker. The at t network is helping First Responders connect with medical teams in near real time. Stay with me, mr. Parker. Saving time when it matters most. Stay with me, mrs. Parker. Thats the power of and. The Opioid Epidemic is described as the worst drug crisis the u. S. Has ever seen, killing 100 people each day. Problem so bad, the president called a Public Health emergency this week. It is not as helpful as declaring a National Emergency that would make new funding available. Cnns chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta examines whether a border wall could help stop this crisis. What is first thing that flags this . Sometimes the drivers behavior, unnaturally nervous for crossing the border, sometimes it is the car that hasnt crossed the border a lot or the car crossed the border too often. Reporter what youre witnessing here are efforts in stopping drugs from coming through the u. S. Mexican border. Almost every car crossing is crossing for a legitimate reason, small percentage that comes in carrying contraband, but i think when the inspectors pick up on something, their success rate is pretty high. You saw the dog sit down at the back of the car, thats how that dog alerts. Reporter he oversees the tucson field office. And drugs are a big part of what he does. This is how it happens. What were witnessing here is it is what happens every day. Southwest border of the u. S. And the officers at the ports of entry are phenomenal. Theyre fantastic at identifying fresh pool marks that shouldnt be there, a screw recently turned there this wont be a reason for it to be recently turned. They can pick up on that. Theyre experts at reporter art and intelligence together . Yes, absolutely. Reporter what they find, 24 killos of hard drugs. Minutes later, field testing reveals cocaine. This is a win today. This is definitely a win. Reporter in the midst of the countrys Opioid Epidemic, President Trump made building up the wall a cornerstone of his agenda. The wall is going to get built. In case anybody has any questions, the wall is going to get built and the wall is going to stop drugs. Reporter i wanted to learn how effective the wall would be at accomplishing that. This is a physical wall between two countries that were looking at here. The vast amount of hard narcotics dont come through places like this. The vast amounts of hard narcotics come through the ports of entry, where we just were. Reporter and besides meth, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, it is fentanyl, 50 times stronger than heroin, the biggest challenge. The most recent numbers for the centers for Disease Control found that Overdose Deaths from synthetic opioids rose over 72 in just a year. Cartels might try to smuggle 100 kilograms across the border. They were likely to get caught. Here is part of the problem, now they can smuggle something that looks like this. This is just a one kilogram bag of flour. If this were street fentanyl, it would cost 8,000 to make, could be turned into a million pills and sold for 20 to 30 million on the black market. All of that from a small container that looks like this. The vast majority is produce ed in china. It comes into the u. S. Two ways. Comes into mexico where they are combined with heroin. The other way is American Consumers buying it direct, oftentimes from vendors out of china . It gets mailed in . U. S. Mail, very common, a small quantity of fentanyl is hard to detect in the masses of letters that come into the u. S. Every day. How effective is a wall at preventing drugs from getting into the United States. In terms of hard narcotics, dont know we get right now, the vast majority of hard narcotics come in through the parts of entry, in deep concealment, or through the mail order express consignment. It is worth pointing out again that that bag of flour, that one kilogram, two pound bag of flour here, which im holding, if that represented 8,000 worth of raw ingredients for fentanyl, that can be turned into a million pills, sold for 20 to 30 bucks on the street per pill. Thats 8,000 into 30 million. You can see the economic incentives here, you see why people will continue to try and try and try over again, to get this stuff into the United States and keep in mind, the fentanyl were talking about here is not like anything i saw in medical school, it is 100 times more powerful than morphine, why it is so particularly dangerous. Dr. Sanjay gupta, cnn, tucson, arizona. Switching now to weather, people in the northeastern part of the United States may have a reason to reflect on Hurricane Sandy from this year, five years ago. They have more winds coming their way, nothing like sandy. But still they got a little bit something to remind them. Yes. In a season where we have seen lots of reminders of the bad weather that has materialized out of the atlantic. Well, this is an east Coast Weather system, but it is being aided by lots of tropical moisture, just riding along an area of low pressure that would develop along the eastern seaboard and race up towards the northeast and new england. Here is one of the computer models you heard us talk about computer models a lot when it was harvey. It was irma and then maria. Now, this latest north american model shows an area of low pressure tapping some of the moisture which is moving along the Northern Edge of Tropical Storm philippe and thats going to impact the northeast and new england over the next eight hours, in fact. All the way into monday. What can we expect . Well, from places like philadelphia, atlantic city, new jersey, into new york city, this is going to be a rapidly intensifying storm system. Is it a noreaster, it is probably an atypical noreaster, but it is definitely an early season storm system that is going to produce in some cases just below Hurricane Force winds. Is this anything like Superstorm Sandy from five years ago . It is not. But one thing that we will point out is you will see a tremendous amount of rainfall, some gusty winds, thats whats being depicted here, going into the early afternoon hours for new york city, and then spreading up towards boston where out on the cape dont be surprised if those winds are gusting to around 60 or 65 miles per hour. Even into the eastern great lakes, i know this is not really depicting that. But nonetheless, there are high wind forecasts out, and we could see numerous power outages, all the way from northern sections of virginia, but more than likely most intense across new england. Along that i95 corridor. This is the power outage forecast, in the yellow shaded area, you can see, it is a moderate outage that were expecting with these gusty wins and the rainfall, there could be some localized ponding, rivers and streams are going to fill up. How much rainfall . Some areas could see four to six inches, where you see the orange shaded area, thats the heaviest. All the way, as i mentioned, from philadelphia to new york, atlantic city, and then towards boston, and into vermont, new hampshire, and portions of maine, so drive carefully. And anticipate those delays with the airlines going into monday. So if you have business meetings, going to take you into, out of new york, philadelphia, and boston, you may be delayed. I mentioned philippe, associated with whats happening, with this storm system along the northeastern coast. Not a classic looking Tropical Storm. A lot of that energy is well away from the center, but, guys, it is going to filter in lots of tropical moisture and thats why the northeast is expecting such heavy rainfall. Not a fun monday morning for commuters, thats for sure. A lot of rain. Thank you. Puerto rico dealing with the aftermath of that big storm, millions of people still struggling to get back to normal life after Hurricane Maria devastated the island. At least 51 people have died because of that storm and its aftermath. In the meantime, the u. S. Territory still in a state of crisis. Power is down for 70 of the island. Only 41 of cell towers are back up and running and 20 of Puerto Ricans still dont have access to clean water. Hundreds of thousands of those who cant access clean water have been turning to contaminated sources. Some have died as a result of that, what officials are treating as a health emergency. Cnns Martin Savidge picks up this report. Reporter Jorge Antonio struggles to understand how his father died two weeks after the hurricane, describing the symptoms that came on so suddenly. Nausea, stomach pains, headaches and diarrhea. A doctor diagnosed the flu and sent the man home, where he only got worse. So the family brought him to this regional hospital, where unfortunately he died. And it was only then they learned what made him so sick. Leptospirosis. I asked him if he knew about it. No, i have never heard of it before, he tells me. The source is bacteria and animal urine making its way into rivers and lakes, especially after flooding. Hurricane maria triggered massive flooding, while knocking out fresh water to many on the island. In desperation, Puerto Ricans have been turning to potentially contaminated rivers and water ways to wash, even to drink. The cruz family still has no water at their home, so every other week they have been coming to the river. They do laundry, and the children play. I asked jose if he had any fear about the water for his family. His answer was simple. No. Reporter no. But in the town, maria flores is worried. It is why every day, she with her daughter and grandchildren, come to town and fill plastic jugs at a community well. Were in desperate need of it, she says. I live on the second floor and i carry the containers with water every day. It is exhausting. As the number of confirmed and suspected cases of leptospirosis have grown, the government is trying to keep public fear in check, describing the situation as neither an epidemic nor a confirmed outbreak. But they are treating it as a health emergency. Puerto ricans have endured a long list of sufferings in the aftermath of maria. Now comes another potentially fatal threat lurking in the very waters some have been relying on just to survive. Martin savidge, cnn. Ahead here on cnn newsroom, she sent money to her son, an isis member, and now shes paying a stiff price for it. Well have that story.

In spain, the government says catalonias bid for independence is over. The Government Spokesperson says that if dismissed catalan president Carles Puigdemont wants to continue in politics, he should prepare for the next election by calling a fresh vote, madrid says it is allowing catalans voices to be heard in a legal and freeway. Iraqi kurds are deciding whether to accept conditions discussed during a ceasefire with baghdad. Iraq wants kurds to withdraw from disputed areas and allow the deployment of Government Forces into those areas. Iraq will claim territory and oil fields in and around kirkuk after kurds voted for independence in a contested referendum. Reporter the story were following in somalia, 19 people have been killed there after two car bombs went off near the president ial palace. The Terror Group Al Shabab is claiming responsibility. This attack happened two weeks ago, two weeks after at least 277 people were killed. This is the deadliest car bombing in somalias modern history. Moving on now to kenya, Opposition Leader odinga says low voter turnout in the president ial election is a vote of no confidence. The official voter turnout is still unclear. With the numbers in dispute by the major parties. Odinga called for a boy cost co the vote. Adding to the confusion, several precincts were not able to vote on election day with polling stations remaining closed. Thursdays vote was the second time in three months that kenya held a president ial election. Incumbent president kenyata won the first vote but results were overturned because of irregularities. Now to cuba, and the acoustic attacks on diplomats at the u. S. Embassy there. The United States wanted to keep the names of those affected private, but in a tv Program Thursday night, cuba named nine of them, which it identified as diplomats. It also denied targeting the americans and said no evidence exists that proves anything actually happened. In september, the u. S. State department ordered all nonessential personnel and diplomat families to leave cuba. Want to look at an issue now facing parents whose sons or daughters join isis. First, they lose their children to a terror group. And then theyre forced to turn from them when their children reach out for help. Cnns melissa bell sits down with a french mother whose son died while fighting for the terror group in syria. And she was sentenced to prison because she sent money to help her son. A few photographs are all that natalie has left. Reporter natalie would never have believed that her son whose innocent face stares back from the photos would decide his destiny was jihad. The first signs came after a trip to see his father in algeria, then with money sent to him by his mother natalie, a holiday he claimed to be on in malaysia. A few months later, he called from the selfproclaimed caliphate of isis. Several weeks later, another phone call came. The one that every mother dreads. What followed for natalie was not a period of quiet mourning, but a trial. In september, she was sentenced to two years in jail for having sent her son money while he was in malaysia. Natalie says her son was the victim of brainwashing and that she is now the victim of a witchhunt, by a state that is powerless to pursue the jihadists themselves. In all, french authorities believe there are around 500 french citizens currently in isis territory who are either jihadists or the children of jihadists. Men, women and children whose numbers have fallen as they have fallen victim to the war, put whose families are now facing prosecution in cases like natalies. Among those still in isis territory, sylvias daughter and three small grandchildren, she says her family has been abandoned by french authorities, help lines provided by the government have proved useless and no one is prepared to help. Cnn reached out to the French Interior ministry but got no response. Translator i have more fear than hope, but i try to keep faith nonetheless. Not helping them is sentencing them to death without a trial. It is true. And, yes, id give money, id give my life, yes, of course. It is the same for every mother. When we mothers think about it, we get panic attacks. So we push us away because it is unbearable. It is just unbearable. Reporter back in strasburg, natalie is waiting for the result of her appeal, alone. Her only support the Informal Networks created with other mothers of jihadists. They are united, she says, in their grief and in their understanding of the strongest of bonds. Melissa bell, cnn, paris. The u. S. Defense chief is warning the Nuclear Threat from north korea is getting worse. During a visit to south korea, james mattis said it is more urgent to cooperate closely with seoul, south korea. Mattis is also threatening pyongyang with a massive military response. Those are his words, if the regime attacks the u. S. Or uses Nuclear Weapons. North korea has accelerated the threat that it poses to its neighbors in the world through its illegal and unnecessary missile and Nuclear Weapons programs. It engages in outlaw behavior, threatening behavior, condemned by unanimous u. N. Security council resolutions.

Brian todd explains how it could be used on underwater threats, including those from north korea. May god bless her and all who sail in her. Reporter a 360 foot long, 8,000 ton underwater menace that could face off with kim jongun. Behind all the scaffolding, americas newest fast attack submarine, the uss south dakota. It is a virginia class sub like this and it will be ready to enter the fleet by late next year with stealth capability. It is one of the newest and quietest ships we have in the world today with regard to submarines. Reporter if it deploys in the pacific, analysts say the south dakota will likely sail near the Korean Peninsula to counter an ambitious submarine program being developed by kim jongun. The North Koreans have been trying to develop their own submarine capability, everything from sub Surface Warfare to Ballistic Missile launcher. They can potentially launch intercontinental or some level of Ballistic Missile from a submarine that could be nuclear tipped. Reporter he already test launched missiles. Cnn has learned the south dakota like others in the virginia class will be able to launch tomahawk missiles, gather intelligence and deploy navy s. E. A. L. S. We want to verify that or if we want to verify the North Koreans have telling us something, we want to necessarily have someone who can put eyes on the ground, eyes on target, to verify that. It is a highly dangerous mission. Reporter in what would be a cold war style cat and mouse game with north Korean Submarines, experts say, the stealth capability of stubs like the south dakota could make the difference between life and death. Even the humans that live on board them are trained to be quiet, so that they put the least amount of noise into the water. We often joke with regard to these electric boats when people ask us, how loud are they, we ask how loud is your flashlight . Reporter u. S. Officials and outside experts say it is not just the north Korean Submarine threat that the u. S. Has to counter, they say china and russia are rapidly improving the technology and the lethality of their submarine fleets and theyre getting more and more aggressive in the pacific region.

President trump is pledging to release all the secret documents concerning the Jfk Assassination on saturday afternoon mr. Trump repeated a tweet from friday saying all files would be released except for the names and addresses of anyone still living. Later on saturday, he tweeted the nasdjfk files are released ahead of schedule, but no new files have been made public. We had our teams looking through the documents to see what new has been discovered. The documents released. Randi kaye has details on some of what we found. President kennedy died at 1 00 p. M. Central standard time. Reporter weeks before assassinating president john f. Kennedy, new released files reveal not only did Lee Harvey Oswald travel to mexico city, but oswald spoke with a kgb officer there at the russian embassy, who worked for a Department Responsible for sabotage and assassination. Adding to the intrigue, a cia memo detailing an intercepted phone call from oswald to the embassy. Oswald, in broken russian, asked if there was, quote, anything new concerning the telegram to washington. The new documents also revealed the president s brother, attorney general Robert Kennedy, and the fbi, had been warned about a new book alleging Robert Kennedys affair with actress marilyn monroe. An 11 page document addressed to then fbi director Jay Edgar Hoover reveals how the book, the younger kennedy, had an affair with monroe and had her killed when she threatened to expose that affair. The allegation was deemed false, with a memo noting that Robert Kennedy was in San Francisco with his wife at the time of monroes death. And it turns out even before Lee Harvey Oswald was killed by jack ruby, there was a warning his life was in jeopardy. A memo from then fbi director Jay Edgar Hoover reveals that the day after jfk was killed, the fbi got a call from a man talking in a calm voice and saying he was a member of a committee organized to kill oswald. Hoover says the fbi shared that information with the Dallas Police chief, hoover said in 1963 he was assured adequate protection would be given. However, this was not done. Oswald was shot dead while being escorted out of the basement of the Dallas Police department. And what about those rumored plots to kill fidel castro, who at the time was the leader of cuba . The new jfk files contained a 1975 document, detailing how then attorney general Robert Kennedy told the fbi that he learned the cia had hired someone to approach the mob about killing castro. Another plot to kill castro detailed in the document s would have involved the cias use of an American Lawyer sent to negotiate with castro for the release of the bay of pigs prisoners. The plan was for the lawyer to give castro who would like to skin dive a dive suit contaminated with a disabling fungus and tuberculosis. The American Lawyer didnt go through with it. In another surprising twist, the documents show the fbi had once suspected kennedys Vice PresidentLyndon Johnson may have been a member of the kkk. An internal fbi memo from 1964 shows an informant said the kkk had, quote, documented proof that johnson had been a member of the klan early in his political career. Fascinating perhaps, but no proof was ever provided. Randi kaye, cnn, new york. Interesting insights into those files. Yeah, for sure.

And organizers say, get this, they got the idea from a scene in the last james bond movie. Did not know that. Wow. All right, we often think of them as just pests and swat them and stomp on them. It seems like we really need our insects. Like why are they in the house . Theyre an important part of our ecosystem. So in some parts of the world, though, theyre vanishing. And people dont know exact reasons for that. A group of scientists looking for the answer, here is Atika Shubert with more on that story. Reporter it doesnt look like much, a lone tent, fluttering near a group of trees this say crucial part of an effort to track creatures that make up twothirds of animal life on earth, insects. They are vanishing by the millions. Over the last three decades, the number of insects has dropped by more than 75 in nature reserves in germany. We know it is happening. But the magnitude is much stronger than we realized in the past.

The study says more research is needed to pinpoint the exact cause, but it is probably not climate change. Rising temperatures should create a thriving environment for insects but numbers are still plummeting. The answer may be closer to home. Now, these nets are stationed inside nature reserves. What is supposed to be a protected environment, but look at this. The nature reserve is often bordering right up against agricultural land. And that means insects are flying from protected areas into hostile environments. Insecticides used in farms have already been detected, absorbed inside the trees of nature reserves. There is increasing evidence that the local situations do affect the insects, not because it is lethal, but because it really it disrupts the life cycle. Reporter vanishing insects have already had a debilitating impact on birds, it is only a matter of time before it affects people. Insects are important. I think everybody realizes that. Theyre very important. And for birds, also for mammals and bats. Theyre very important for crops. There is substantial loss in crop yield and profit if these wild pollinators are vanishing. So really is affecting us ourselves. Reporter now the team is racing to find the exact reason behind the vanishing of insects and the hope of stopping it before it is too late.
