well to causing death and destruction right across the caribbean the storm already killed at least thirty two people in it domenica guadalupe the virgin islands and puerto rico it's currently i can't agree three. judges ordered the release of six people who were arrested on wednesday in a crackdown by spanish authorities on preparations for independence referendum protests are being held in boston calling for an end to the government's business. that's it for me i'll have more news in hoffa right after threatening. the centenarians of italy one hundred years old and counting. but what's behind

their extended life spans scientists identify a blood fire and often seems to protect their organs from the effects of aging but why techno expose the science of the blues and regions where people live it stream live long lives. this is a show about patient change night. we're going to the intersection on the ballot doing what it says show about science by science. liar and welcome to techno from southern italy. this is an absolutely beautiful part of the wall but it's also a giant birch tree the scientists this is one of the wild so-called blues are in an area where an unusually large percentage of the population live to one hundred years or more and that's exactly what attracted

a team of international scientists to find out exactly why. this is all children. of. a village where time seems to stand still. long enough for people like i'm twenty of a silo and mean a for do to grow old he's a hundred and ninety three she's the younger woman than marriage and have been for more than sixty four years. and you are not. an urn. for the girl. these days if you stroll by the seaside apartment you're likely to catch a glimpse of the newly minted celebs. it seems that becoming famous for growing old . i think i'm tired here has been waiting so long for his

lunch do you have lunch at the same time every day. they say that they have like our time table regularly and i have it they have lunch at twelve in the morning and they have dinner at five invading every time like that since sixty four here's a girl. just a few doors down. at ninety five years old he's also active and independent enough to freely walk the streets of the village. he lives alone on the top floor of this villa. he has no trouble heading back downstairs to show off his garden. in most cases just antonio and mina would turn heads but the part of

a robust community. is the unwinding right leads to one of the many villages that all scattered along the coast of china town and they all share something very unique and special and celebrates a thing in common and not so that every village has at least one sometimes more centenarians living there. according to research is from rome so pm so university and the university of california at san diego in archer only one in every sixty residents is at least ninety years old. by comparison according to statistics from canada one of every one hundred sixty three canadians was at least ninety. who's ninety five years old grazed the he's in his garden. must be hard work. if you give me if. i can hang they've been telling me i can take since they say

hopefully this will prolong my life. the term blue zones was first established by two scientists gianni pes and michael who used blue lines to chart demographic data inside their two thousand and four landmark study identified sudden use neuro province as a region with an extraordinary high concentration of male centenarians denoted by their blue lines since then scientists have expanded the blue zone concept from saw dinny to include a canal in japan nicoya costa rica icaria greece and loma linda california the question what can be learned from the high concentration of centenarians living in archer running. actually as part of what's known as the chilean tow coast of italy situated one hundred four kilometers south of naples. is

a rugged picture perfect region that features mountaintop villages that spill out to the mediterranean sea residents spend a lot of the time outdoors here working the land and walking nearly all the time. the region has become synonymous for good health rich and fresh produce passed on of oil and rosemary. this is where the so-called mediterranean diet was first scientifically studied by american scientists i'm still here it's keys landmark seven countries study found diets and it's only in greece highly protective against heart disease it's now about to become the focus of twenty first century science. get outta here. with a tough century castle as an impressive backdrop a decidedly twenty first century team of researches descended on the hearts of

children tied to announce the results of their preliminary study of the region. first of all i think i think he may. mean. more than one of the men. when you talk with people like these and you reason these you think that you are abusing a person with seventy five or seventy in the main they thought we knew the man at the head of the study on the italian side is dr salvatore a disarm a professor of medicine and imagines the medicine director at university he explained what happened the first time blood samples from the centenarians were tested when we sent the days of samples to san diego university we found that the group is studying profitable and ready when a supervisor to see that they found some abroad in longevity lincoln in days a subject they never saw in

a million so somebody said what does that mean you've you've discovered proteins in the human body that has never been so excited this means a lot that we don't know enough. to get a proper glimpse of the centenarian population of. we headed up into the hills in a hurry to reach our destination before the sunset. we arrived at this home high atop the mountain village of cardinal one of the village centenarians lives on the second floor turns out we didn't have to worry about the late evening hours. giovanni average arrow was awake and spending time with her family one hundred years of age this is one incredible woman a face shows a lifetime of experience and grace. she greeted me warmly this is a very nice place to live it's nice to have your independence through translator

she told me she does sleep her life and i have family is close by her daughter nor lives downstairs and is always there to help. we didn't speak the same language it wasn't long before she began to hold my hand in hers. so this is your husband. and how long ago was this thirty five years thirty five years ago wow bella. her husband died just last year at the age of one hundred in one they were married seventy five years a life now exists around the next few generations of family including her five month old great granddaughter giovanni like most centenarians in the study moves around easily scientists say it's unusual for anyone over ninety to walk around

without a cane or walk and research is also observed centenarians strong cognitive abilities sharing almost no signs of dementia or alzheimer's disease this was measured in terms of what is called functional status the ability to prepare food for themselves move about on their own what's her favorite thing to eat what's your favorite. everything it's like they. didn't. significant the team of scientists of honor doesn't wear glasses for her eyesight nor does she need a hearing aid and they see you in hay without any aids that's interesting that is another important they say finding no one of these need for glasses. no news was needed to be cited for. that let's say i never see people the intermountain leaving. the idea behind the research project is to determine what

factors contribute to the centenarians good health and if they can be replicated magically all through diet and lifestyle the pilot study was conducted over six months starting in the spring of two thousand and sixteen scientists took a close look at a select group of eighty one centenarians and their families they focused on physical cognitive life style family diet and genetics they drew blood samples from both the centenarians and their offspring. tecno was given access to the duran a laboratory this is where the majority of the centenarians blood work was taken for analysis technicians charted basic cholesterol levels monitoring both good cholesterol h.d.l. the bad l.d.l. levels. they measured triglycerides or fat levels and major organ functionality.

and this writing. was you know one. hundred one years old now you've probably. heard the director of this lab is getting so excited about the results of this one hundred and one year old woman because i've got to somehow be it can be donated and uses the words bambina hard a lot is like the blood of a young girl an interesting picture began to emerge from the lab centenarians showed some of the typical signs of aging. what makes them unique researches say is those factors did not result in heart disease hypertension is a problem with the centenarians in the area but oddly not sickening of the arteries how does that work together. subjects'. they ever station some of these expected because all the people of the age more than eighty five and ninety as increase on brother pressure due to the fact that there is a kind of

a stiffness of the ass to realize that makes the level of pressure increased but that we would not be able to follow the same consequence here we see this dissociation so we see people of the age old and i think. without that faith. so in times of peace or pathology. we've been that they all know these people have cardiovascular risk that others danger they seem to be protected they seem to be protected or with the something that is going to interfere with the process of what they're up with no involvement of the heart. it took a team of scientists from germany to starts one battle the mystery they began by measuring specific biomarkers in the blood of the study of chance with blood so and this is the authority to reach how good or bad someone is from my own marcus if they're because they the blood is telling you anything going into nor almost

everything you need to know about healthy or eccentric. andres backman and the to kill on a small biotech company in germany both hold doctorate degrees in biochemistry they supplied to test for hormone and join imagine him they say is able to predict the health of the micro second nature e system the vast blood supply network the supports the body's organs the signature was. concentration of hormone which is named after the you know menu nein and this homeowner controls the microsecond nation through and if the micro circulation is very good there's no need of this home on it's very low and if it's a bad micro circulation it's up and the very low when you was in the centenarians. this was a surprising finding so you know lois very young so when we saw that these people have a micro circulation like very young people we couldn't believe it this blot told us

that the micro circulation is much better in the centenarian than you would expect if you look at the audience because the audience have a normal process of aging and strong contrast there too it seems that the micro circulation of these people has never aged the company's liberty results made it even clearer since all of the eighty one subjects sampled were related comparing generations was easy one controversial process of future super eight showed us if it is fair to our younger relatives of fifty very old people and day had. good kids their function eighty percent of them had a kid their function ninety percent i had got heart function hundred percent of them had good michael circulation and in addition to neri and this was more striking to see that almost all of them had better kidney eighty percent had

a weak heart or a stress cardiac function but all of them got micro-second lation so that was the common factor between old and young yes good markers circulation it was a common factor and it seems that they have maintained their good micro circulation over long lifespan for that what i hypothesize how surprised were you at your findings because it really surprised me to normally you have. given you make an hypo to the generating that you didn't seek there which you must. confirm that in one thousand two souls intense holes in subjects but here we do not need to confirm anything that strong that there is no question about the future of the show what we can find here in the chalange to that makes these people. so extraordinary bill because if you look at them they smoke as well they have a high up take off for difficult in restaurants to see that they have no diets at

all except that they have to military i mean food tear but you don't have to impression that they are trying to live a healthy life they have just one so really thing and that's a hypothesis that maybe years something in the food in the plans in the her whatever in the microbiome that headstone to maintain this x. and microsecond nation you come into this region so there is no story for things that no make donitz no burger king so they have this morning shops mainly selling and products are produced in this region therefore i think we have an extraordinary chance that somehow big part of the history of lifestyle and nutrition is preserved in this region anstice could come see the next more advanced phase of study will focus on actually east diet i must say i

wonder how they can you know all the for all the things that they smoke a lot and they drink more than the average in people and in italy so they have more you know risk factors if you will from from lifestyle point of view but they must have something which helps to help them to control their microcircuits then there is i must say it's to their speculation you know it may be this specific a nutrition in this area whether this something scientifically notable to the diet or even in the soil actually residents say that it has been a long part of the lives of the region. the subpoena family runs hotel in the playa one of the great waters. resorts sitting on the shore of the mediterranean sea. while they don't have a centenarian in their family it was their grandfather who saw the importance of

the region and made sure to connect this generation to the land the food. the menu at the hotel features fresh ingredients and shooting portions grown locally they own a farm just a few kilometers up the hillside. there's something about this area that. is helping long jetty of life and i wonder if it's in the food that you're growing here i mean organic here is not a trend here is i mean is is what you have i mean they would not eat tomato new samberg because they know there are no tomato in december did it represents our next generation but on how far they still go the traditional crops including rosemary scientists from the study team tell technique the looking closely at the very sweet grown head because it may hold such benefits they don't yet know why but say on the surface it is more intensely favored than very sweet

cultivated outside the region everyone here have their own garden and know how to grow stuff and know how to eat seasonal but not because they choose it as a because it's healthy here like they do it's because that's what they have because even this piece of men i mean i've just never smelt men like this before the thing is that here to lend it's kind of virgin i mean here for example before the farm there was nothing there was nothing even not even someone like growing stuff so there is no danger that someone would have poisoned the herd or you know any the plants or anything and there are no industry here. all the land here it's not you. because you have bought it like last year it's yours because it was yours from your great grandfather then left it to your great founder and then your father and then you may still be alive telling you how to cultivate it yeah they don't have to

miss here and of the day or eating and take and i. want to break into programming you can see the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov speaking at the united nations let's have a listen we do not see any reasonable arguments against our. proposals against starting to work on that and we do not see any explainable reasons why would our partners including the u.s. could not work along the line along the lines i'd like to remind you that the road map is largely in line with the those four nos we which were farm elated by rex tillerson about a month ago. we are convinced that the u.n. security council. should use these positions of the united states more actively

if we talk about the exchange of threats naturally it's quite bad. it is unacceptable to simply sit back and look at the nuclear military gambles of the north korea but it is also. unacceptable to start the war on the peninsula. so we have to. keep calm down the hard heads and to understand that we do need pass' that we need some context if there are those who wish to be mediators i would actively welcome that. the mediators could be could be one of the neutral european countries that was talked about by secretary could terence that. if he would have such a request he would try to fulfill that. so there are. plenty of those who would

like to try not to proceed to pursue the way of military of sanctioned. but rather peaceful there are a lot of them as i said at the general assembly each and every instance of the un security council resolutions apart from sections sanctions they have a clause on the need for a political process i western colleagues when they refuse to work along these lines they're in not fulfilling their obligations which were undertaken during the negotiation of the un security council resolutions together with our colleagues will continue to strive for the reasonable and not the emotional approach instead of the kindergarden fight between children and no one can stop them. thank you very much mr minister's family are far from c.b.s. news you said and ambassador now ben zia. said that you are hoping to save the jews c.p.o.

a is the russian federation open to negotiations or talks on sunset clauses missiles or syria either within just a superior way or on a different in a different context thank you. well not only russia sad that it is necessary to see this. program. meaning there. on the settlement of the iran nuclear program that was mentioned by all the european countries who participate in the negotiations the same is said by the majority of the un member countries so this program is already finalized it is indorsed by the un security council resolution and opening up for this plan for negotiations is basically. just a normal sort of. discreet that would be disregarding this agreement there are

different kind of concerns coming from many sides and these concerns should be illegal you did so with informants which are so we rolled in for that when there was a whole negotiation process on syria as for the missiles there is also a regime which allows us to have the listicle in silence for sure but as for human rights that show there is a human rights council and bringing together apples and oranges would be wrong especially in such a complicated issues as iran nuclear deal. some . minister thank you so much for asking this congress for a hug from bloomberg i was wondering if you can talk about the u.s. russia relations given that there are so many issues there seems to be an increasing tension in north korea iran syria ukraine how's that evolved in the

front on the tram presidency. no it's got you know you brought everything in one pile and throw a little career iran syria russia ukraine all of that as part of the us russia russian issues i'm sure but yes i see that a lot of u.s. politicians who put the responsibility on russia russia has to do this and that on syria russia has to solve the korean problem we are also made responsible for many crises including the yemen crisis which we have nothing to do with unscrupulous or yes russia relations are suffering not from the fact that there are conflicts but rather because of the previous administration which. was too small hearted and they were revengeful they put this time bomb. in us russian relations i did not

expect that from a noble peace prize winners but he did manifest himself and we can still see the ramifications for the reserve the whole campaign about still didn't see of trump being elected saying that russia. ensured this election. by meddling in us affairs and election process but we do not see any facts but the fact that the democratic. party website was hacked by an insider by the member of the democratic party that was once mentioned in storage in the ministry of foreign affairs and the later it disappeared remind about that. reminded to your readers there was no there was no meddling it would be one years and after all kind of hearings that taking place all kind of prosecutions but we did not see a single fact and we also did not see

a single fact about interference in france germany now so sweden is now talking about that as well you know in the soviet union there used to be a prosecutor general andre vision ski.
