7:30 pm
a good many terry and folks on daily basis just to help people to recover from the often that so because very deadly at military campaign with the treasury certain year says it will impose restrictions on exports to israel until it reaches a cease fire with him. us israel called it a unit, a lateral violation of trade agreements and promise to response. this is the 1st time any nation has impose major trades restrictions over the war on goza. visa i worked with him sized cargo, chuck, letting you know we had submitted a request to participate in the humanitarian aid operations with congress plains of our air force. we've learned that this request which was welcomed by the jordanian authorities, was rejected by israel. that can be no excuse for israel to prevent us from providing aerial aid, to stop and guardians. in response to this situation, we have decided to take a series of new measures against israel. i please tell people a woman and a child have been killed in a ukrainian strike on a russian village. a local governor says that happens in the border region of beer
7:31 pm
on another 5 people were injured. strikes like these have increased between russia and ukraine in the past month. and ukraine also attacked in aviation facility and russ as before, and that's region earlier. russia reported downing to drones in that area. parts of russia, including that were all of the vulgar and central areas have declared states of emergency. after some of the worst flooding in decades, the disaster has forest, at least 6 and a half 1000 people to leave their homes. meanwhile, people in orest car protesting against local authorities, they say they weren't warns and nearby them could burst of a court in south africa has ruled that the former president, jacob's whom i can run in next one's parliamentary elections. he had challenged an earlier decision by the electoral commission which barred him from standing due to a contempt of court conviction zoo. my is representing
7:32 pm
a new political party after denouncing the governing african national congress that he won sludge all the month of march was broken. another temperature record, it was the warmest the world has ever seen. it also marked the 10th consecutive months to register the hottest, vigorous globally a. okay, we'll have more news at the top of the hour on. i'll just 0. thanks for watching a next. it's $1.00 oh, $1.00 east on. as always, just a reminder, you can add on line for all the latest information, the off to months of fine with thousands of people killed and millions from the house. what does the future hold for? sit down and it's people to sit down conflict one year on out to
7:33 pm
0. across the was tens of thousands of monkeys. i used was 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 traffic 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 beings. they don't care. activist and conservationist said testing is cool at in humane. we are all the pain suffer and die. let us don't clean that we don't. huh. we don't touch. we do, we exploit as scientists work on all done to just to animal testing. so my husband
7:34 pm
gives monkeys new lies beyond the border tree, consulting this are some p to the rule, as i said with you to the level type. does that mean with about 12 inches deep, all 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. oh, the under the blazing visits on in central arizona is a heavy secured facility. behind these fences live hundreds of monkeys. the washington national probably made research center is off limits to the public, but it's direct them to show by so has agreed to take us inside
7:35 pm
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. 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 mcgarr at the center. hi there, brad here to be used for research. the the animals are born
7:36 pm
here. we do not have animals from the wild. 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 scientist see that primates 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 in 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,
7:37 pm
that's right in frontier rodents and mice don't have that region of the brain, but non human prime makes 2 monkeys to. 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, excuse of, for any, a depression, autism, the, the primates of the bas 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 killed 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 is, is her uterus right here?
7:38 pm
right here is the remaining is true, but the us doesn't read enough monkeys to meet the demand from the country labs to cover the short for the info. it's more primate 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. it's a us government report concluded that the shortage of monkeys for research was that the crisis point arguably the last century and current century,
7:39 pm
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 shortage of primates available for biomedical 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 breed . all of its slide down 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 by medical research. and that includes non human primates, the since giles export
7:40 pm
band, 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 of parties and ledge that some of those animals with small boot and illegally add new comma is a form of sound 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
7:41 pm
frequently, those industries are used to launder wildcard animals that are captured from the wild brought into these facilities is and then sold as if they were raised captive way. an obvious way to go ahead and smuggle is to falsify those documents. to day he's speaking at an event organized by freeland account trafficking, n, g u. 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 and to 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
7:42 pm
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 . 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 brian
7:43 pm
me breeding 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 would. 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 to conservation problems. it could have dire consequences for human has they know darn well and 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 to care about themselves, but they don't care about anybody else. the and southeast asia is in there on the dog,
7:44 pm
and the judge is the right has obtained. and in doing the indian government memo from may 2022. which one? 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 why life crime control bureau declined to provide further information in new delhi primatologist. and in just in house fees 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 to of was primates. lot of medical research became dependent on these, this book. right. i mean, yeah,
7:45 pm
was an important source of these. my gods found the rest of the trees. but in 1978 india band, expos often 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 tolerated because we have can for the presentations off on demand. that dollar is, is one of the reasons why the recess mcafee is now private. the, now some species like the reason the bonus. i'm the long feeling because have a natural neat propensity to move towards human hesitations. to co exist with
7:46 pm
people who live with the property, the max us so prolific that some indian states have declared them, boom, and it is now believed that they are the 2nd most successful primate in the world of the humans. because the distribution is the largest distribution range amongst the non human friends. and 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 luxury. when kumar, a hired to drive them away and was trying to convey the got that total. so i'm going to say, how do you oh oh i hm. mm hm. oh oh,
7:47 pm
the engine store beach may be bought to put the and then the of of somebody's going to the gym of they cannot the com is that so i'm going to go and you go and save a lot then to some little guy here and those to me, i got that, but that is done yet a besides out there though. ok. so the on the side, because they're in may 2023, mach jacks. were removed from india is protected species list, sparking fil, among conservation, or that exports could be legalized. again, or lead to trafficking. seeing how believes that you shouldn't underestimate the consequences of snatching animals from the natural habitat. family groups separated an instance 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,
7:48 pm
know how come here to be in behaviorally sophisticated. they are how complex they are, and you have to put them into a cage doctor. we should like to 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, i'm best place to understand the macbooks. and so if we do continue with animal experimentation, let's be aware of the impacts of 5 actions. that does not mean that we don't harm we don't tucked, we do. we exploit the back in the us admin rights activist protesting outside the university of washington, seattle campus. so we're at the university of
7:49 pm
washington the and there's an absence on the sign. in march, the university did shut down 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 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
7:50 pm
and behavioral research. i think that's been very hard if not impossible, in light of the polarization of 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
7:51 pm
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, an 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 on it. uh it is a michelle bass,
7:52 pm
so really nice to meet you. go to dr. ed kelly is associate professor of pharmaceutical at the university of washington. he's working on new technology called all good on ships, which he believes good help, reduce reliance on adam. so what you're looking at here is, is a kid, each kid be on a chip. this is something that is we've been using to complement the 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 the other compound is going to behave in humans. cuz this type of technology compliments animal safety data and handles 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 we have a better way of predicting how something will behave in 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
7:53 pm
a chip. yet, there have also been advances in computer modeling using artificial intelligence. certainly where are nowhere near replacing animal testing the 2nd 50 dollars is far too complex. this much of a reduction is approach to understand certain forces. 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 or 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 nothing in the century for all kinds of fine to move, including those ones used in scientific research. the century houses 22
7:54 pm
retired lab 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 a new home at lot. then you can come to the editor types because what i mean, that's because i would say listen, do you think it provides phenomenal to try and use it to them? and that's the focus. perfect. retard that. come up as it onto to yeah. show up and do like plenty of smoke and then a message and expects it to them to respond. hardly sounds awesome. i live a 64 on twist. meaning that as long as still has the occasional outburst, but the testing performed on her was not invasive. unlike drummond, he was subjected to experimentation that involved interventions in the brain.
7:55 pm
evaluation was extensive, youtube, you to pieces and physical if supervision. according to that event, 11 was go straight, strongest for you kindly and i yelled, you called me a little to do so in addition to that, that to me, could you tell me if you need to hold on titles on your pulse consumer reach. so need to present the so that this move is dropped to yvonne bought on saw, is responsible for bringing rome it to the century. used to perform surgical procedures on him at frances national center for scientific research. it is, you know, for the default is that what 2 diesel cruze off up as well as you move when you have a cool shifted all over the place on what i see. i'm to think that y'all is preschool sap, especially just and that, that small, this is in the whole thing to him. he comes off to see what i skipped his team on
7:56 pm
the to contemplate this. i see some p 2 noise and 72. eventually he decided that monkeys like and now i'm grommet, had had enough see the shows community, but don't you don't, you don't call using that the on faith to download sites visiting with about 12 inches default it don't call no veiling 50 books exist anymore the these monkeys would never survive in the wild office to many years inside research labs. for most, this is the 1st time in their lives that they've seen so much natural light and fresh the is the thing to be reading with them or a new component or something. fucking yourself with the loop in with them on the the other to not if you see them. yeah. the visual, keep the to the, to offer with the stuff in thought to do the always you don't see the shows the job
7:57 pm
because it goes, it's called the now for the my dad though example don't, don't contribute ourselves. primate 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 healthy allies tags to monkeys like anal enrollment, the question will to assist is the sacrifice just to find the the business latest is sponsored by intellect,
7:58 pm
global, your real estate destination into by the business lasers to sponsored by him to like global your real estate destination in
7:59 pm
due by that they want the average person to know what the truth was assigned to dismissed as profits of do. we knew where the temperature was going to go by lead is seeking the profits of industry. they were publishing reports saying this is not an urgent problem. could we have changed the course of the climate to emergency? air is options. here's new series died. last futures examining the headlines. is it or is properly today for the forms of life and god's unflinching journalism. awesome. every interview, just like the war sharing personal stories with a deliver or do you want to create a world where women come and feel naturally released that trauma and creates explore an abundance of world class programming on eligible era.
8:00 pm
the . ready gemini is doing its estimates to live up to its responsibility is heavy, both is riley and the palestinian people. germany rejects accusations, it's facilitating genocide and gaza during this hearing for you and of course the 20 life and the headquarters. and so how i'm getting you navigate is also coming up turkey becomes the 1st nation in the world to impose.
