is and stage decision protests, they say the decision marginalize of the box local times zane bus lobby has more since india revoked, cushion me or send me a tournament status and divided the himalayan region 5 years ago. standing against change has been an uphill struggle. on sunday protesters in the territory of ladon gathered once again in the world's largest democracy. they say it's democratic process is under attack. they just store these weiss will keep people entitled surprises that why individually go to the and on do more good. it truly induce a do more crazy, but on the, on the ground what things that are happening, we are witnessing that you do store 3 on democratic a march to the chinese border was called awesome in height and secured, restricting, peaceful, protest, organize or say, could lead to violence today, if you see it on the new, you can see lots of deployment of all that enclave district. we can see lot of

deployment of police and better military forces. and in my life time, i've seen this 1st time and never seen such a deployment of force. it's all they have created a war was on like situation over here. the government's decision to run the territory directly from new delhi has left to a dock with little say in developing projects and new laws that will directly impact their land and lives and with new daily clearing the past to allow outside years to invest and settle in previously autonomous areas, local people worry about the fragile mountain ecosystem and the demographic shift the risks, their identities and income flux leaders say people in the region feel more under represented than ever. the may hi is lee. i whole ledesma's facing a very deep crisis. they use our jobless, our identity is under threat with no protection. wildlife is endangered. and women are grappling with and facial research,

the government to implement laws that were safe guard tribal rights under the constitution of india. why we demand that association of democracy in the region. the government has been curtailing internet services in low dock, arresting young leaders and cracking down on demonstrations. residents where the situation could descend into violent, similar to the decades long conflict elsewhere and kashmir. months of talks between new delhi and leaders from a dock have ended in deadlock. demonstrate to say they are willing to do whatever it takes even fast to death, unless their demands for protection against outside influence are back. saying this robbie older 0. and that's what somebody elizabeth put on them for this half hour news, but to stay with us. 101 east is coming up next. thank you for watching the there is no channel that covers the world. like we do the scale of this campus like

nothing you've ever asked us to help. but we want to know how these things affect people. we revisit, please stay even when they're no international houses are really invest in that. and that's a privilege as a journalist and across the was $10000.00 monkeys, i used was scientific research every year. it is incontrovertible that we need non human primates for life saving research, high demand, and leading to a search and traffic ingle wide monkey that should have dangerous consequences for humans. but they know darn well. these prime rates 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 activist and conservationist say testing is to add in humane. we are often the pain, 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 it just to animal testing. so my husband gives monkeys new lives beyond the border tree, consulting this some p to rule, as i said with you to the level type. does that mean with about 12 inches deep in the 2nd spot of a special investigation? one? 0, $1.00 east drivers to the us front and india to examine the global business of monkeys for scientific research. for the under the blazing deserts sun and central arizona is a heavy secured facility. behind these fences live hundreds of monkeys.

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 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 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 bred 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 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 frontier 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 disease like skews of for any depression. autism, the, the bryan made itself to go up as bread 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 kill give birth every 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 small primates than any other nation. china was the main supplier until the band exports in 2020, off to the cool, big 19 pandemic, kicked in january 2023. a us government report concluded that the shortage of monkeys,

the research was that the crisis going to the, arguably the last century. and current century, the medical discoveries have all been based in a medical research using animals to the co. vic 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 it's slide on to move in captivity. it's imperative that the 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 band. the us 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 to the us from 2020 to 2020 to the bucket. us of parties a ledge that some of those animals with small boot in illegally add. new comma is a form of bound to traffic and need to spend 20 years investigating why life 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 wild caught 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 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 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 us government

gathered evidence, including this secret down rough footage, which led to the indictment of duke and body and officials and 6 members of pry me breeding facility viney buyer research. it shows one of the cambodians allegedly participating in the smuggling of wild with dex. this video was shot in 2019 before co would and yet the individuals here who are handling these primates in the cages are wearing protective gloves. and face masks, selling was bought down and moved, isn't just to conservation problems. it could have dire consequences for human has 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 can 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 judges the raw has obtained. and in doing an indian government memo from may 2022, which won't wildlife officials that the us research lab was an generally attempting to illegally souls monkeys from the country. a sports person for the company denied the allegations. in jazz, why life crime control bureau declined to provide further information in new delhi primatologist and in justin. huh. says that india is an easy target for traffic. goes with its large population of recess, mac jacks. the country was once the was biggest export of was probably needs

a lot of medical research became dependent on these this book. right. and yeah, it was an important source of these. my gods found the rest of the cheese, bought in 1978 india band expo officer reports that the us used monkeys in military weapons destined rather than for medical or 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 been for the presentations off on demand. that tolerance is one of the reasons why the recess mac jack is now pricing the. now some space is like the

resist the bonus. i'm the long feeling, my costs have a natural need propensity to move towards human hesitations, to co exist with people who live with the company, 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 to this became the reason why they became the board as to the primate of choice. but they not so popular in some as to a neighborhood. when monkey cheeses like locks went to mark a higher to drive them away, and more than so i'm going to say the got that total. so i'm going to say, how do you?

oh, oh i hm. mm hm. oh oh, the engines the beach may be bought to put the and then the above thing was going to the gym. be a big and that zip. com is that. so i'm going to go and you're going to save a lot there to some little guy. it goes to me, i got there, but i got it done yet. they decided that there was something on the side because there in may 2023. the jacks 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 we shouldn't underestimate the consequences of snatching out and move from the natural habitats. family groups are separated,

and infants 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 to put them into a gauge doctor, we should a light thing and keep them all their lives. he also believes that science is the only factor to consider ricky thinking, that if i have a degree, if i look in the research institution or a university, i'm best place to understand the macbooks. and so if we don't continue with animal experimentation, so let's be aware of the impact. so 5 actions. let us don't mean that we don't harm we don't tucked, we do. we exploit the 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 and merge. 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. i just this information about me about my research, 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, environmental 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 date, key 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 of the monkeys from the arizona breeding lab. brought here for research to the boss

who is conducting memory tests on full geriatric female mac jacks. which good head scientist understand memory loss and 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 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 is a to miss sylvia. 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 compliments animal safety data, animals testing. and the reason why this is a good complement of that is because these have human cells and then because of human 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 of 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 at there yet. he went on a ship really would be at that for, for, and 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 for biomedical 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 to you home at lot. then you can come to the editor, the proud scheduled. i mean that's because i would say listen, do you think it's that well i to me it's funny, i use it to live in this and the focus on public rhetoric that come up as it onto to yeah. as robin do, let plenty of smoke and then messaging expects it to them to respond. hardly sounds awesome. i live a 64 on twist. meaning that as low. let me see now still has the occasional outburst,

but the testing performed on her was not invasive. unlike drum it, he was subjected to experimentation that involved interventions in the brain. the only 2 down the vision was expensive, and youtube video pieces and physical if supervision. according to that event 11 was, goes through. soon as you come in on the old, you can me a little to see you. so in addition to that, that to me cuz he did say, well, if you need to put him 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, if you know the deals and what 2 diesel cruze off up as well as you move when you have it. cool. is it the dollar between now clicked on what i see i'm to best young

ip 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 me on the, to contemplate this. i see some p to new license ibt. eventually he 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 suppression. the, the thing to be written with them on

a new component was the southern fucking yourself with the loop in with them on the, the other 2. not if you see it coming out the visual, keep the do the walk, the with the, the stuff and thought to do the always we don't see the shows the can we? because it goes, it's called the now, for the my dad though example don't, don't contribute ourselves. prime, a testing remains a deeply divisive issue between scientists against animal rights activists. was small blows benefit from the global demand. but as long as humans are able to lead longer, healthier lives tags to monkeys like canal enrollment. the question will to us, it is the sacrifice just to find the

is the biggest over the next. and yet in history, the world's biggest democracy, both its own epic showdown in this final episode of the port. finally off the prime minister in the movie elevated in the global b. this will be decades long ruling under the microscope with them. and how much is facts and how much is fiction to be in the port fox for all? no deleda in a world full of douglas hope was so scarce. you donated we deliver it in ramadan, said bryce. we've touched lives in you in this holy month. the power of kindness, gray, in the joy of breaking falls and the footprint we remember the blessings we all

to pull them $300.00 trucks carrying aid across them to gaza is the largest deliveries since the goal began, but long shows what the un says is needed to save people's face and starvation, the autumn, and this is a life from the so coming up, coming home to a city in ruins, displays palestinians return to con eunice off. that is rarely trips withdrawal to prepare for a future result and is rarely strike on 711 on kills at least 4 people rescue.
