years ago. investigators believe he was one of those type is helped low up the main supply line of russian gas to germany. the i've been physical and welcome the world health organization has declared a global public health emergency following an outbreak of the impulse virus in africa. the w h o had been monitoring a surge in cases in the congo. the new variant has spread to the road to kenya, lawanda and uganda. impaction can be passed on through close contact, causes flu like symptoms, and lesions on the bottom. the head of the w h o says the lot is necessary to save lives, up. to date, the emergency community met and advised me that it's view the situation
3:02 am
constituents of public health, emergency of international consent i have accepted. that advice is clear that the coordinated international response is essential to stop this outbreaks and save lives apart because the emergency of international concern is the highest level of all are under international health, low will and remain is a professor of any ology at the u. c. l, a. fielding school of public health. she told us how this alleged by the w h o could help contain the outbreak. this is actually a very important moment and really demonstrates that we've learned a lot from previous outbreaks or previous uh, situations you know, in the past, maybe reaction a little more slowly when you see something happening, you remote rural areas in africa. but i think what we've learned here is that an infection anywhere is essentially an infection everywhere. and what's happening in
3:03 am
rural areas of africa can very easily come to our doorsteps, anywhere in the world. and so being able to stop this at its source. as soon as possible, it's critically important and this public health emergency will do many things. you will unbox funding that is not has not been available to support surveillance, a better testing opportunities, more and more efforts towards public health. but it's also going to help coordinate getting vaccines and therapy units to these areas that have not had these tools to be able to combat and fox previously. and just briefly, you mentioned, this is an important moment. what are the chances of this being cut off from spreading even further than it has already sprayed as well, you know, it's gonna be very important to be able to track it. obviously when we're talking about a virus like monkey pox, a, you know,
3:04 am
it is something that spreads through sex with sexual networks very easily. and we saw that was a global outbreak. uh, in 2022. this very it there a lot of questions around it. traditionally, we thought this is very and that might be a create more severe disease might be responsible for, for more depths, we still need to study its truly understand it, but it is possible that it could be a more serious variant. and so what we need to know is that we're dealing with a situation similar to what we saw in in 2022. we can get in front of it with good information, with the tools that we have available. and there's not a moment too soon. fantastic. there's some good news in that from and we're going from the u. c. l, a filling school of public health. thank you. thanks for having the nasa officials say they have until the end of the month to decide how to bring to american ask for
3:05 am
what's stock on the international space station back to us safe. a williams and ballet wilma were only supposed to be on the i s. s. for 8 days. the return has been delayed due to malfunctions on the boeing style line of the growth in that nasa is debating whether the spacecraft is safe enough to bring them back or if they should wait until 2025 to come back on the ship from boeing. rival space x keep going is editor of the website. nasa wants to con, case these assets were meant to go to the space for 8 days, but could be stuck they for 8 months and they paid for that. or yeah the are is i have to practices with saying like, i do know a lot of astronaut, you actually know sunny williams very well. and it's pretty much easy to say that um, if you tell an astronaut that they do have to spend more time in outer space,
3:06 am
they really don't get upset about that. they do have families in home and things that they are planning to do, but it's not an unpleasant thing to get more time in outer space. that said, this isn't the plan that's causing a lot of things to get. so changed around a lot of embarrassment and lot of confusion. so what went wrong? well this, this spacecraft is one of 2 companies that were given to the task of coming up with a commercial way to say they asked on to the space station. so that one didn't work, the other would be there to back it out. well, the space ex company has done marvelously, you know, done, everything they're supposed to do. blowing however, is had a problem. there's time the spacecraft was launched, it barely made it back to earth without it drew on board the 2nd time it did a little better. and then this time just as it got to the space station, some rather important stuff didn't work. so instead of a short visit, it's gonna be a prolonged wait. so take us through the rescue scenarios as
3:07 am
well. this is the rescue if they had to come home to watch something horrible happened and they had to come home tonight. they would get an x rays craft and come home. it's an issue where the risk is, if you don't have to come home right away, then let's take a look at what's wrong. now here's a simple pop here, and what happens is this is the part that comes back with the crew figure. this is the part where all the rocket engines are, the didn't work. they want to make sure they understand what happened here before they come home, because when they come home, the spark plugs up into your atmosphere. you get look at it once it comes back. so they've been testing it in plain, was it ever since? and they're getting closer to having a no final decision. is it safe to use it or not? if it is, they come home, if not, well now they have to cert rearranging space flights, bridges. and let's look at the company problems behind these off to is problems in aviation, this latest take up in space must be embarrassing the boeing. it's not good news
3:08 am
that's for sure. and especially since they've got a more than a 1000000000 on top of what space like scott their years late and the space, perhaps they were bragging. you know, we can always, we built these before. it's just not working. right? so if i am in charge of public relations at boeing, i'm not having a really happy week, and there's really no solution out of this other than the get it back and, you know, and then the real question is we do they ever want to fly it again, i'm not sure that's a foregone conclusion, that they will. and when do you think they will get them back as well? so you're going to press thing today. and the 1st thing they said was, there's no news to the next week. so, so they're getting to the point they've got to make a decision because if they're going to come back in this spacecraft and they need to do it, if they're going to use a space, ex spacecraft, they have to have to empty seats to spaces. and that pushes all the planning for the additional flights back. and it's not a simple thing to, you know,
3:09 am
it's up in space and you've got a lot of moving parts that have to be coordinated. so they have to decide pretty soon what they're going to do. and a lot of people are getting impatient with lack of an answer. and that is, includes people inside. yes. and i'm at the p. uh, motors are in motion at this hour. keeps going, it's the website and that's what's dot com. thank you very much for timing it. my pleasure. let's take a little look now at some of the other stories making news. activists say that one of us last remaining primeval forests is in danger as well bias. but in both me is oldest national park authorities have deployed find, find is a military helicopters to battle the plays which broke out on sunday french find fun. it is a helping that greek county thoughts tackled wild fires with vehicles shipped from easily. the deadly blazes have displaced thousands of people and caused extensive
