11:30 am
katrina, you re, for some beachy this remote boulder region into layers has become a flash point in the already process. the relationship between china and india, the government, and you deli, refers to it as the northeastern states of out of nato dash and says it's an inalienable part of india. last month, prime minister and there and reload. he visited the region. so the opening of the same a ton of the high altitude tunnel will make it easier for india to reach the dispute territory and show up its defenses along the 3500 kilometer unofficial border with the china on the north east. india is on its way to becoming a crucial link for in just trade and tourism and other connections to southeast asia. it's gotta be china's government is furious at moody's visit. and india is development that it prefers to the area as the non all south to that. it's also criticized us. support of india is territorial claim. so 92 so cool you. all right,
11:31 am
so nothing has been china's territory since ancient times. this is an undeniable fact. where does the so called or neutral pradesh come from. united states has a terrible record of stoking disputes between other countries for selfish gain, that the government has responded by locating chinese names for those 2 places in the region. rejecting the use of any foreign names, it says holmes, china is territorial integrity. india has cold, china is renaming of the region upset. the lake is flare up in board. attentions comes as nationalism increases in india and china relations constrained by just east for the territory. both which will in 1962, there's been several established in 20201010 slicing between soldiers and to let dunc regents lead to the depths of at least 20 indian and 4 chinese troops. more than 20 rounds of nutri talks have been held to come tensions. but the
11:32 am
bilateral relationship remains icy at best. katrina, elder 0 aging. the f. b i is investigating how fi stove, $13000000.00 in cash over the easter weekend. they managed to break through the roof of a cash storage and handling facility in los angeles without setting off any alarms . the buildings owners didn't realize the money was gone until they opened the volt on monday. detectives say the break and has all the hallmarks of a professional heist as always one use on our website that on tuesday, or don't on the very latest on all of on top stories on now to sierra dot com. i'll be back with around up of the base top stories right after 11 east. thank you for watching the in the biggest the claim you out in history, the biggest democracy office on epic showdown join me screen of asking jan on
11:33 am
a new ballpark cd, focusing on india. in this episode, i go on my own experience of the journal that you examine alarming dropped off the freedoms in india and the future of india and fabulous independent media. being the other for foxley on those is either across the was tens of thousands of monkeys. i used to scientific research every year. it is incontrovertible that we need non human primates for live saving research. high demand is leading to a search and drastic ingle wide monkeys that should have dangerous consequences for humans. but they know darn well. these primates are going to end up smuggled into another country, united states, or somewhere else, and that they could potentially be carrying diseases that could be spread to human
11:34 am
beings. they don't care activist and conservationist say testing is poor and humane . we are all the pain animals suffer and die. let us don't clean that we don't harm we don't tucked we do. we exploit as scientists work on all done to just to animal testing. so my husband gives monkeys new lies beyond the border tree, going phone tag this some p 2, they realized instead of getting to level types of visiting with about 12 inches deep in the 2nd part of a special investigation, $1.00 oh, $1.00 east drivers to the us. front and india to examine the global business of monkeys for scientific research. for the
11:35 am
under the blazing desert sun in central, arizona is a heavy secured facility. behind these fences live hundreds of monkeys is the washington national, pri make research center is off limits to the public, but its director michelle bye so has agreed to take us inside the so as you can see, we have a high level of security at our facility the outer perimeter of the facility, we have a fencing with barbed wire as well as security cameras. and also in the inner perimeter of the facility. we have the same fencing and camera system. and the reason we have this security is to of course protect our animals. but also because there are a number of special interest groups who are opposed to the kind of work that we do . and so we need to protect our employees, the
11:36 am
full 167, big gauge, mach jacks at the center. hi there, brad here to be used for research. the, the animals are born here. we do not have animals from the wilds. these are all purpose bread, animals and we provide them as a resource to bio medical and behavioral research scientist across the united states. they stay with their families. so the, so the moms and, and her, her babies and their, their siblings are living together. 95 percent of find a move used in labs are rats and mice. but scientists see that bryan meets are essential. so studies and feels like you're assigned. one of the things that i'm
11:37 am
trying to understand is to unravel the complexity of the brain. the brain is the single most complicated oregon and the universe, and we don't understand it at all. one area in particular is called the prefrontal cortex. it's the region of the brain that's right in front here. the rodents and mice don't have that region of the brain, but non human prime x 2 monkeys do. and that's one critical reason why we need to continue to study those animals because it's that region of the brain that goes bad in diseases like skews of for any depression. autism the, the bryan made itself well. bas brad in captivity to minimize the risk of spreading infectious disease to human and other animals. it can be a slow process. the female mac jacks he'll give birth every
11:38 am
year. with all of the monkeys have to be at least 4 years or this full that can be used for neuroscience research. today, the styles have just discovered this month is pregnant. this is her uterus right here. here's the really remaining. sure. but the us doesn't read enough monkeys to meet the demand from the concrete slabs to cover the shortfall. it imports more primates than any other nation. china was the main supplier until the band exports in 2020, off to the cool,
11:39 am
big 19 pandemic, kicked in january 2023. a us government report concluded that the shortage of monkeys, the research was that the crisis pointing to the, arguably the last century. and current century, the medical discoveries have all been based in a medical research using animals to the colored vaccine is a perfect example of that. it is incontrovertible that we need non human primates for live saving research. the, the shortage of primates available for the medical and behavioral research has, has definitely impacted medical discovery and scientific discovery. it's, it's slowing down research progress by so says the solution is for the us to read all of the slide on the move in captivity. it's imperative that the
11:40 am
united states become self sufficient and not rely on other countries for their supply of resources for buy and medical research. and that includes non human primates. the since dr. mills export bad, the u. s. has depended on countries like cambodia and more issues to supply last month until recently. this cambodian facility called viney by a research was the largest exporter of long days with jacks to the us. the farm exported more than 40000 lives, mac jacks due to us from 2020 to 2020 to the fucking us with parties a ledge that some of those animals with small boot and illegally add new comma is
11:41 am
a form of bound to traffic and agents he spent 20 years investigating wildlife smuggling people are selling animals that are raised in a captive environment completely legally in accordance with international law and us law. but quite frequently, those industries are used to launder wildcard animals that are captured from the while brought into these facility as and then sold as if they were raised captive. we an obvious way to go ahead and smuggle is to falsify those documents. to day he's speaking at an event organized by freelance account trafficking, n g you we've got a former federal special agent. we always send undercover agents to those to scope it out because inevitably, if you ask the right questions, you have the right knowledge and you have the right amount of cash. there is always
11:42 am
going to be an illegal animal for sale at the shows under the table. you gamma says add a move on just drastic alive. it may be parts of their bodies come in for medical research. and that could be as small as a tiny skin skin sample, or even a blood sample or some other fluid or tissue sample that looking at it. you might not even know that that came from a primate. it's almost impossible to track that back to any kind of record keeping or even with live monkeys. it's not easy to lean information off and when one of our wildlife inspectors goes to inspect the shipment of primates, they're forced to essentially peer through a small window into a dark container. and when you're looking through a small port, whole window and a bunch of eyes looking back at you, really all you can do is estimate how many animals are in that shipment. you can't
11:43 am
really do a physical inspection of their bodies to determine whether or not it's consistent with being captive raised versus wild. so it's very difficult. the u. s. government gathered evidence, including this secret down rough footage, which led to the indictment of duke and body and officials, and 6 members of brian me breathing facility viney by our research. it shows one of the cambodians, allegedly participating in the smuggling of wild with dex. this video was shot in 2019 before co it and yet the individuals here who are handling these primates in the cages are wearing protective gloves and face masks, selling wide gall dynamos, isn't just a conservation problem. it could have dire consequences for human has. they know
11:44 am
darn well these primates are going to end up smuggled into another country, united states or somewhere else. and that they could potentially be carrying diseases that could be spread to human beings. they don't care to care about themselves, but they don't care about anybody else. the and southeast asia is in there on the dog and the judge as the right has obtained. and in doing an indian government memo from may 2022, which won't why life officials that the us research lab was an generally attempting to illegally soles. monkeys from the country a sports person for the company denied the allegations. indeed, as wildlife crime control bureau declined to provide further information in new delhi primatologist and invest in huh. says that india is an easy target for
11:45 am
traffic goes with this large population of recess, mac jacks, the country was once the was biggest export of was probably needs a lot of medical research that came dependent on these, this book. right. and then yeah, it was an important source of these. my gods found the rest of the monkeys. but in 1978 india band expos, austin reports that the us used monkeys in military weapons testing. rather than for medical of vaccine tests. as agreed, monkeys are considered secret by hindus temples across the country are dedicated to the worship of the monkey guard on him. on outside the temple, we have large groups of resist my thoughts. and the i told the dated because we have 10 for the presentations off on demand. that dollar is,
11:46 am
is one of the reasons why the recess mcgaffey is now private. the, now some space is like the visas and the bonus and the long pay them across have a natural neat propensity to move towards human hesitations. to co exist with people who live with the property, the magicks us so prolific that some indian states have declared them them and it is now believed that they are the 2nd most successful primate in the world. often humans, because the distribution is the largest distribution range amongst the non human products. and this became the reason why they became the board attorney primate of choice. but they not so popular in some asked who in neighborhoods when monkey cheeses like locks went to mark a higher to drive them away,
11:47 am
more than the sound good thing. beautiful. they basically, i'm glad i got that total. so i'm going to say, how do you oh oh oh mm hm. oh oh, the engine. so let's get beach may be bought to put the and then the above seen was going to the gym of they cannot zip condom. is that so i'm going to go and you've got a sample of dental, some little guy who's a boost for me. i got that, but i got it done yet. they decided that there was something on the side because there in may 2023. the gaps were removed from india as protected species list, sparking fear among conservationists. that exports could be legalized again or lead to trafficking st. how believes that you shouldn't underestimate the consequences
11:48 am
of snatching out and move from the natural habitat. family groups are separated and insults, and juveniles are separated from their mothers. and it causes a tremendous amount of social disturbance in these populations, which we just don't think about. i mean, know how come here to be in behaviorally sophisticated. they are how complex they are, and yet we put them into a cage doctor, we should light and keep them all the lights. he also believes that science isn't the only factor to consider ricky thinking that if i have a degree, if i look in the research institution or a university and best place to understand the macbooks. and so if we don't continue with animal experimentation, let's be aware of the impacts of 5 actions. let us don't claim that we don't harm we don't tucked, we do. we exploit the
11:49 am
back in the us admin rights activist stuff protesting outside the university of washington. seattle campus so we're at the university of washington the and there's an option on the sign in march. the university of the, the university keeps move in full 100, try me to it's part of the washington national primate research center run by michelle gossen. she says she's frequently targeted, but animal rights groups i received death threats, messages on my telephone mailings to my home that were threatening. so just this
11:50 am
information about me about my recert horrible things protests at my home. and i think that it would be wonderful if we as a society, could have a civil conversation about the ethics of the use of animals in biomedical research and behavioral research. i think that's been very hard if not impossible, in light of the polarization that that topic produces. boss who says it's vital that the use of primates for medical research is deeply controlled. we want to regulation. so it's imperative that we have regulations is, are very precious animals, every one of them. so it is very highly, highly regulated, multiple government sources. institutions oversee some
11:51 am
of the monkeys from the arizona breeding, not abroad here for research to the boss who is conducting memory tests on full geriatric female mac jacks. which good head scientist understand memory loss in humans with alzheimer's disease. this is a very important what we call cognitive memory tasks. we know that people the memory, the delay time to remember, decreases with age. and also it's very short to 0 in people who have age related diseases like dementia and alzheimer's. so we're looking at the animals to see whether we can see evidence for aging. but some scientists are looking for new ways to reduce animal testing. in january
11:52 am
2023, the f d. a us agents are responsible for protecting public health. through that was no longer mandatory to test new drugs on adams. dr. kelly, either later silva, so really nice to meet you at to dr. ed kelly is associate professor of pharmaceutical at the university of washington. he's working on new technology called all gonna on shift, which he believes could help reduce reliance on adam. so what you're looking at here is, is a kid, each kid be on a trip. this is something that is we've been using the complement of animal studies . and so what we can do use a system for is by putting in human cells, we can better predict how a drug or talks and or other kinds of compound is going to behave in humans. because this type of technology complements animals, safety data, animals by testing. and the reason why this is a good complement of that is because these have human cells and because of human
11:53 am
cells, and then we have a better way of predicting how something will behave and humans before we actually ever do a clinical trial. experimenting with human cells in this way could reduce the need for animal testing with some thoughts of the body, such as the brain and the nervous system cannot be reproduced effectively on a chip. yet, there have also been advances in computer modeling using artificial intelligence. certainly where are nowhere near replacing animal testing this taking off $50.00 is far too complex. this much of a reduction is approach to understand certain portions. in this case of the kidney talking about the complex interactions of many different organs, is something that we're not out there yet. he went on a ship really would be at that forefront. that if it is fully functional, would allow us to replace animal testing. are we there yet? not by long shot. ok. so now scientists say primates remain crucial. so biomedical
11:54 am
research but some of being given new lives beyond the border tree on the outskirts of virus is left and essentially for all kinds of fine to move, including those ones used in scientific research. the century houses 22 retired live monkeys from across europe. this female recess, mcgarr cause can survive 19 years of experimentation in french labs. she was the 1st lab monkey to be given into you home at lot. then you can come to the end of the pipes because what i mean, most of all tell, listen, do you think it's the why to me it's funny. i use it to live in this and the focus on public rhetorical. my says it onto yeah, it's robin do let plenty of smoke and then messaging expects it tends to respond kindly. sounds awesome. i live a 64 on twist,
11:55 am
meaning that as low. let me check now still has the occasional outburst, but the testing performed on, you know, was not invasive. unlike drum it, he was subjected to experimentation that involved interventions in the brain. the only 2 down the vision was extensive due to the pieces of physical if supervision, according to that event, 11 was goals please. soon as you come in on the other con, me a little to see you. so this should do that, that to me, could you tell me if you need to put them on the title thunderbolt consumer reach. so need to present to us that this move is dr. yvonne balance is responsible for bringing enrollment to the century, used to perform surgical procedures on him at frances national center for scientific research. it is,
11:56 am
if you all don't say that you want to diesel cruze all football as well as you move when you have it cool shifted all over the place on what i see i'm to best young is preschool sab, misplacing. and that, that small i makes, is in it don't do the whole thing. do you have any concerns to see what i skipped was to on the, to contemplate this. i see some p to new license ibp eventually decided that monkeys liked. and now i'm grommet had had enough. let's see the shows community, but don't you don't, you don't call you didn't that they on faith a lot. what site does that mean with about 12 inches deep? all it don't call no veiling for 2 books exist anymore. the, these monkeys would never survive in the wild, often assume any use inside research labs for most, this is the 1st time in their lives that they've seen so much natural light and
11:57 am
fresh. and the, the thing to be reading with them on a new component was the southern fucking yourself with the loop in with them on the, the other to not, if you said, come come, you know, the visual to the, to the, to offer with the, of the stuff and thought to do the always you don't see the shows can we? because it goes, it's called the now for the my dad though example don't, don't contribute sounds prime. a testing remains a deeply divisive issue. bidding scientists against animal rights activists was small blows, benefit from the global demand. but as long as humans are able to lead longer healthy allies tags to monkeys like canal enrolment, the question will to us, it is the sacrifice just to find the
11:58 am
spain it just closer to recognizing it power, city, and state. prime minister pedro sanchez is that the forefront calling for israel 2 respects international humanitarian law. what i can tell you is that the situation will be gladly sought acceptable as an immediate cease firing. garza, there's an urgency to stop this terrible war and to open a new phase of stability. peace precipitating the region. the spanish prime minister talks to l. g 0. why have american evangelicals become this real strongest factor? is us president joe find the right to stand with israel with no red line?
11:59 am
as long as us support continues? is there anything that can stop is real? solve on concept, from going on in? definitely a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line. these are the most these on the drum is they used to march 3 d o t before dawn box with an increase is right. the ministry presidency. it's too dangerous. as daylight arrives at austin begins instead of traditional decorations, the streets of cods, images of young palestinians killed by his ready forces. it's not just a lot of decorations, usually during ramadan, thousands of policies and tourists will or is the city often defies the seasonal suite. use of the law on the street right now that it's easy to move around. the law could be different and exploring. going to change the situation in nablus, we had 70 percent more business before people here say the higher the month is even
12:00 pm
more significant this year. a foster emphasize with those hungry and suffering in, gone to the in the united nations human rights council adopt the resolution calling for as well to be held accountable for possible new crimes and crimes against humanity in the gaza strip. the play you're watching ologist sierra live from bill have with me for the back. people also coming up on the pressure from the us. israel agrees to or.
