News about the recent outbreaks of ebola, the degrees has also ofsd a third of the world guerrillas in the last 30 years. A vaccine is now being tested on chimpanzees. Some warn there could be serious risks. Rebecca morelle has more. Rebecca in the african forests, and animal at risk of vanishing forever, gorillas already face many threats from poaching to. Abitat lost perhaps the most worrying is a bully appeared the disease is suspected to have wiped out many thousands of these great apes. A vaccine could be the answer. Carried out a has small trial on captive chimps. He found a vaccine protected them against the virus, and now he wants to use it on gorillas in the world. If these were our children we vaccinate our children, right . We vaccinate our pets, domestic livestock, wildlife in the developed world. Why arent we vaccinating our closest relatives in africa . Rebecca the deadly toll in humans is all too well known. The outbreak in africa killed more than 11,000 people. Now, though, there is an effective human vaccine. Ebola in humans and gorillas is closely linked. The virus can cross between species. Some argue that gorillas should be immunized, too. Gorillas are one of our closest relatives, and saving them from extinction is now a number one priority for conservationists. An ebola vaccine does offer muchneeded hope, but there could be significant risks. Finding a method to get a dose of the vaccine into every gorilla would be difficult. There was also a risk that it could harm the animals instead of helping them. We as conservationists are concerned about any unintended impacts on the health of the apes, such as introduction of a disease that might spread amongst the intended population we are trying to protect. Rebecca the future of these animals is hanging in the balance. The forests are currently free of ebola, but it is inevitable it will strike again.

The data showed that 235,000 jobs were added during the month, exceeding expectations, and the Unemployment Rate dropped to 4. 7 . How much can the Current White House claim credit for, and what does the longterm forecast look like . For answers, i spoke a brief time ago with greg ip of the wall street journal. Donald trump has in the past said that jobs figures are phony and today he says they are very real. How real are they . Greg they are real. They are collected by the same people, but what we have seen is the acceleration of very good job growth last year into excellent job growth in the first two months of this year in the area of 250,000 jobs per month. It looks like an economy that was looking good last year seems to be gathering momentum. Jane after 50 days, how much can donald trump take credit for that . Greg not very much because these trends are a long time in the making but it is not zero, either. So, what do i mean by that . It has been clear for some time that a lot of things are working for the economy Business Confidence is coming back. We have seen some the big risks hanging over the Economy Like Oil and china received into the past. Im confident that even if Hillary Clinton had been president we would be celebrating good jobs numbers now. At the same time, it is clear that since Donald Trumps election we have seen a surge in confidence among business and it is quite possible that that has translated into additional hiring. Jane but mining, construction, manufacturing numbers are up as well. What is driving that . Greg there is a lot of cyclicality in these numbers and you cannot read too much into one sector for one month. Look at construction for example, one of the best one of numbers in years, but also one of the warmest winters on record and that tends to elevate the number of people who can go out the number of people who can work on construction sites, and we will see give up of that in months to come. Manufacturing, once again, well sometimes go up and down with things like automobile a silly schedules. But overall commodity the surface, when we look at other data on the economy, the signs are very good for one of the better use with seen in a while for this economy. Jane sustained growth, that is the big question. Greg i think we will have sustained growth. Donald trump says he wants to get the economy going 3 over a year for a decade. It is a very hard given the aging population to have productivity revolution on hand theres nothing wrong with saying we could have 2 , 2. 5 , between the stronger confidence. There are still things that could go wrong. One is that we have seen the oil prices slipping again. If that continues that could be bad luck for the people who have been hiring people to work on oil drilling sites. We have seen china start to slow down again. And the Federal Reserve will raise Interest Rates and if they sense that the economy is doing so well that is inflation risk, they might pick up the pace, and in the past that has often caused trouble for the economy. Jane thank you very much indeed for joining me. Speaking of finances for many media comedies are feeling a many Media Companies are feeling a surge under the new administration. President trump has repeatedly attacked the Mainstream Press as a fake news and corrupt, but many outlets are thriving. The bbcs media editor has been assessing the situation for us. Amol this is a city and a country that thrives on information. But in the age of donald trump and digital media, it is getting harder for americans to sort fact from fiction. The next generation of great talk radio, the undisputed leader of the new school amol a new generation of conservative talkradio hosts is making millions of americans feel like they are being heard at last. This president today, donald trump, i would go into battle for, whereas i would never go into battle for obama. Patriot andrew broadcast on a station that has 30 million subscribers. The internet really open peoples eyes, because anybody can fact check the media. In this digital new media age, the closed guild of Media Companies, they no longer enjoy exclusivity could President Trump your organization is terrible. Buzzfeed, which is a failing pile of garbage. Amol one organization targeted by the president is buzzfeed. Yet they and other websites have seen traffic rise sharply because of interest in trump. It has forced us to get creative in how you cover the white house. I would say the rules are different. We are not operating in a world in which truth and fact the matter and are absolute. We operating in a world in which you have to read the tea leaves and figure out where it is coming in and what the point is. Amol another organization targeted by trump is the New York Times. Its editorial page back killer backed Hillary Clinton in the election. A clarified the mission new papers like mine went through a long decade or so of debating what our future looks like in the digital age, and suddenly in comes this transformational president , and i think the answer is, in a lot of ways, our future looks like our past. People expect us to find stuff out. A mall the New York Times has found appetite for its highminded reporting has soared. This is not a marriage of convenience. We have seen very large increases in interest in the news and willingness to pay for quality news. Mr. Spicer there has been a lot of talk in the media about the responsibility to hold donald trump accountable, and im here to tell you a goes two ways. Im all for the reporters who cover the white house, it is a challenge when journalists are excluded from official briefings. You do your best to get actual information out of the white house and you write a story and then they come back at you with all that fake news. How are you supposed to write anything resembling reality if you are not getting their side of the story . Its kind of puts you in a double bind, which i think is their strategy. Reporter for those who report on trump, it has rarely been harder or more rewarding to search for the truth about where power lies. Mall rosin, bbc news, washington. Jane now, have you ever infinity might look like . A japanese artist has capture the experience at the Herschel Museum in washington. It has become one of the exhibits of the year with long lines to glenns insiders are called infinity rooms. I went to see what all the fuss was about. It is easy to get lost in one of her infinity rooms, even though they are physically quite tiny. Mirrors and lights go up the sections of what is real and what is illusion. We are living in a time when almost everything that we see and experience is through digital technology, social media, through emailing. That is so much a part of our lives and perception that human minds there is this other aspect of experiencing space. Sometimes its more tactile. Jane to understand how she reached infinity, you need to step into her white room. As a child, she had a vision of polkadots. It led to an acute neurosis, which she confronted by focusing dots in her art. Eventually a obliterating the white and leading to oblivion. Which leads us back to infinity. Being in this room makes me feel incredibly happy. Im surrounded by glowinthedark pumpkins, for goodness sake. But after a couple of seconds it becomes disturbing because this is probably the closest any of us will come to seeing what infinity must look like, and once you grasp that, you realize how utterly insignificant you really are. Most people inside of these rooms immediately reach for their cell phones. This is, after all, the ultimate selfie. But not so fast, says the museum director. If you are in this infinity mirror room and you dont stop and put down your phone, you are not truly experiencing it. Because it is this moment in which you are alone in the cosmos in one of these places, and it is a very compelling, kind of poignant experience. Jane get past the showstopping infinity rooms, and there is plenty more to tickle the senses. Voluptuous sculptures, dots, appendages, and more dots. She is japans most important contemporary artists, and this shows why her appeal is global. Absolutely beautiful. Stunning. From infinity to a video that has gone viral. Earlier today the bbc interviewed Professor Robert kelly at home in south korea. He had some very important points to make, but it is fair to say that people will run for will remember his interview for some thing else entirely. The question is how do democracies respond to those scandals. What will it mean for the wider region i think one of your children has walked in. Shifting sands in the region do , you think relations with the north may change . I would be surprised if they do pardon me. My apologies. What will it mean for the region . My apologies. Sorry. North korea south koreas policies towards north korea are severely limited jane some of you are your kids pictures on facebook here you can find much more on our website.
