You can go and get a microphons are your questions can be heard. Please join me in welcoming john barry. [applause] thank you very much. Its kind of funny to be sitting here in a Community Room of the Louisiana Legislature talking about this subject largely because although you might not think it, politics is very involved in the story of the pandemic i cant think of a better place to talk about politics in the legislature. When you read about the 1918 pandemic in the newspapers these days you say the death toll was over 20 million. That estimate comes from the first of the disease thats fairly accurate for the western world but wildly inaccurate for the rest of the world. In a Nobel Prize Winner that spent most of his life studying influenza concluded that the death toll was a minimum of 50 Million People and possibly as many as 100 million. All this was in a world with the population 28 the size of today. So, if you adjust the population, the death toll on 1918 was between 175 to 350
it s arrived. he s the chairman of the qatar islamic bank, which is one of the leading banks in qatar, he s the son of a former prime minister and he says the bid plans to return the club will seek to place the fans at the heart of manchester united football club once more. he says the bid will be completely debt free which will look to invest in the football teams, the trading centre, the stadium and wider infrastructure. he says the vision of the bid is for manchester united football club to be renowned for footballing excellence and regarded as the greatest football club in the world. there will be few questions about this because a qatar consortium already own the champions. could that lead to a potential conflict of interest? some fans have expressed human rights about qatar s health record. but this is clearly a fairly significant move. 18 years under the glazers, they ve been criticised heavily for burdening the club with a lot of debts. i think a lot of fans ears pri
thank you. it was parts of north east england and scotland that bore the brunt, the strongest dust of all recorded on the coast of aberdeenshire, 83 mph, but further south across the uk it was mild weather making its presence felt with temperatures in worcestershire climbing above 17 celsius. this small of cloud, that was storm otto, now hurtling toward scandinavia and behind it another weather system bringing rain, not as potent as storm otto but moving its way through with snow ever higher ground in scotland with the potential for some ice. it will be chilly across northern parts of scotland but further south, very mild, 10 11 celsius, the overnight lows for many. the heaviest rain clearing quickly eastwards tomorrow. some rain hanging back across parts of central and southern scotland and the far north of england, perhaps northern ireland for a time, with a band of drizzle towards the south of england but in between some spells of sunshine, just the odd rogue shower, 17 ce
in the morning as well, south west england and south east wales, the midlands especially, one to spot lingering until lunchtime and then plenty of sunshine. a bit more cloud for a time in the middle part of the day from the odd shower and more cloud in western scotland and northern ireland put it more of a breeze here but notice the temperatures, 13 16. if you re in the west tomorrow, it can be an interesting sunset saharan dust pushes northwards ahead of this weather front which will work its way eastwards overnight into wednesday morning and it brings a bit of a wet start to wednesday in northern ireland, western scotland and a bit breezy. brightening up through the day but the rain spread through the day but the rain spread through scotland and north west eglin and wales, fizzles out as it pushes into yorkshire and the midlands. east anglia and the south east stay dry on wednesday, not quite as mild as tomorrow fresh in the north and west with showers later. on thursday, s
over 3,500 in syria from that 7.8 magnitude tremor. the united nations, who have been supporting rescue teams in both turkey and syria have warned that the final number of fatalities could double. my colleague lyse doucet is on the ground in gaziantep. well, what you see behind us here in gaziantep, about an hour and a half drive from the epicentre of where that earthquake struck about nearly one week ago, is being played out in towns and cities across a whole swathe of southern turkey and indeed across the border in northern syria. and that is the diggers, they don t have diggers across the border, but diggers here and excavators are getting rid of these mounds of rubble. it is a sign that the rescue effort those painstaking, almost heroic efforts to try to pull people alive from the rubble, and still nearly a week on, they re still finding people. but the effort, the focus is now shifting to recovery, to relief and also to a reckoning. as you mentioned, those more than 10
