Hello, welcome to the programme. Final preparations are under way to send the first shipment of aid by sea to gaza. Humanitarian organisations are co ordinating a delivery of about 200 tonnes of food and medical supplies, which will go via a Maritime Corridor with israels agreement. But its unclear how or where the boat will actually dock, and even if the aid does arrive, some groups are warning of problems in distributing the aid across gaza. Wyre davies reports from jerusalem. In the cypriot port of larnaca, they have been working around the clock. The spanish ship, open arms, is preparing to tow a barge with 200 tonnes of food with medical aid all the way to gaza. Its a precarious, untested plan with obvious risks. Translation yes, we will tow this platform to gaza, where The Last Mile will be the most complicated operation. The disembarkation will be done on a pier that is being built right now by the world central kitchen. How the aid will be unloaded into gaza, where there is no
On many essential attributes of a plan. It would be extremely challenging too used to document as a document to hold the iris, the Treasury Department, or anybody else accountable for missteps. The few things it almost entirely lax are quantitative targets to measure against, backup data to analyze, and various key operational details including, for example, who at the irs or Treasury Department is ultimately responsible for making decisions on any particular issue. This does not give any detail on how the irs will implement secretary yellens 400,000 dollar pledge. And details really matter here. It also does not estimate what any of the 42 initiatives or 190 odd key projects are expected to cost or clearly answer the basic question of which initiative or key projects can be fully implemented with the 80 billion dollars in funding. What the document quietly admits is astonishing. Despite contrary rhetoric, the irate did not give the irs enough funding to fully realize the plans divisio
For the first time, researchers here in the us have successfully changed the dna in human embryos. Scientists say it could prevent disease. Others worry it could be used for all the wrong reasons. Heres more from nbcs kristen dahlgren. Kristen dahlgren in a lab in oregon, as scientists fertilized human eggs, they also swapped out some dna, correcting defective genes that carry disease, proving it is possible to genetically modify human embryos, but fueling a growing debate. Eric schadt its one of those things that i think is inevitable. Its going to be hard to control, hard to regulate because the technology is so accessible. Kristen according to Mits Technology review, which first reported on the breakthrough, the scientists used a technique called crispr, already used with partial success in china, essentially a way to cut and paste dna, replacing unwanted genetic information. Scientists say it could someday eliminate inherited diseases, like some cancers, hemophilia, and sicklecell
