things were the 1st lady's doing very well so it worked thank you very much appreciate it i will never forget thank you. doctor said he was fatigued but in good spirits and was being treated with an experimental antibody cocktail it's also being reported that he's developed a mild fever meanwhile the u.s. democratic presidential nominee joe biden says trump's infection is a reminder of just how serious the pandemic is he wished donald and melania trump well and said he would withdraw a negative campaign ads about the president has more from outside walter reed national military medical center. now he was brought here says the white house repeatedly in the course of the day out of an abundance of caution however there have been several reports that president trump's condition during the day was a cause for concern that he had nasal inflammation that he had a very sore throat that he was feeling lethargic and clearly the decision was taken

to move him to the hospital in order for him to be monitored more closely in order for him as well to be close to the most expert medical staff in turn in case his condition continues to deteriorate. in other news armenia says it's ready to work with mediators to reestablish a ceasefire nagorno-karabakh armenia and azerbaijan forces have been fighting over the disputed region for 6 day u.s. russia and france have called for the resumption of talks people in india defy a protest ban in the state of qatar protests following the recent gang rape and death of 2 women from the marginalised dollars community cases have regarded the national debate on sexual violence on the discriminatory caste system and those are the headlines techno is coming up next. on counting the cost tensions in the south china sea of a shrinking fish stocks as beijing sends out a naval amada take its place plus responsible capitalism the investor to the chief

merida davison she's an environmental biologist and dr chrystal deal with a molecular neuroscientist that's our team and i know it's do. some signs so as. big as welcome to techno fun filled tours joined by dr chrystal de worth and merida davison so just picture this you're deep in the rainforest of peru when suddenly a flock of red and blue flag missing creatures takes off in front of you they are beautiful but let me tell you they don't start out so pretty you have to be talking about my cause i'm a bird biologist so in my day i've seen a lot of baby birds and i have to admit i mean they are bald and can be pretty ugly but i mean it's also ugly that they're cute because they still associated with the rain forest kind of like their mascot but they're not so ubiquitous and aren't any

major species and they're at risk because of habitat lot of solu because when the habitat is in trouble these birds are in trouble and we join a team of scientists down there that are working hard to make sure it doesn't happen let's take a look. elusive charismatic cause or undeniably stars of the rain forest and there's a special place in peru where it's still possible to see macaws and all their wild glory that is if you don't mind a little travel. and we're heading to the tumble parts a research center a place so deep in the proving amazon it's taken us 2 days on this boat just to get there. there are 16 species of macaws left in the wild down from more than 20 the populations of all of the species remaining are on the decline. 7

such as the blue throated macaw in danger of becoming extinct. because of deforestation close to 3. the 100000 square miles of the amazon rain forest gone since 1978. timber and we're culture and mining. then there's the illegal pet trade it's not easy being one of the world's most beautiful birds pack these these juvenile. to smuggle than and more than half of the individual dying during this process. any hawkinson is a few leader for the macall project at the tumble pata national reserve she's one of a team of researchers who are using science to save the macaws why study because our very special and their intelligence and yet they face

a lot of threats and their habitats today's mission takes is deep into the resort for those threads are constantly mad play where in the middle of the breeding season tumble part is essentially a giant laboratory in the wild 6 species of macaws inhabit this 1000 plus square miles of rain forest rain is a constant in winter but too much rain can be a problem. today we're going to see how a pair of 2 week old macaw chicks are fairing the odds are against both of them survived examining the chicks is a delicate operation. one lead veterinarian elizabeth pour through gives louis oh preps for the chick exams on the ground any hawkinson gets ready to climb to their nest above i don't like heights but with nest close to 100 feet up the team has no choice but to climb. macaws like deep

cavities high up in old growth trees those spots are hard to come by even in a protected force like. this scarcity of mess leads to deadly fights between nesting mccall parents and other macaws looking for a home. they will kill chicks if a well harm the parent and they may cause such a disruption that the parents might be unwilling to return to the nest that's why the macabre project is researching manmade mess like this one called mandy lou once any reaches the nest she opens a special door to access the chicks separate from the opening the adult macaws used to get in an element inside our 1st peek at the hope for the next generation of macaws. the frail pale chick is not what you'd expect but it is alive and any means to get it down to the ground quickly safety is paramount for these vulnerable chicks any

uses sanitizer on her hands to protect them from germs 'd the bucket that will take them down is warmed with a hot water bottle because these chicks have no protection against the cold. dr pore through his loo your 1st ways the chick and then photographs it and yes this is what i'm a car looks like in the 1st weeks of his life no hint of the jungle beauty it will become this chick is the 1st of the 2 to hatch like it sibling it's named after its nest mandy lu and then you know not the interest of the other that a man needs the earth in the dust of the other fellow and that a young put on the wood nest like mending glue have been a big success story a tumble part of research here has shown that more cars can raise chicks in vs just as well as they do in natural nests. the veterinarian takes

a detailed body measurements to determine how the cheek is doing at this stage of development. through. then men dilute to is taken out and photographed next to its order sibling. it's normal and there are. no no's not a minute now moment in which only when they're on the turn and. i say yeah i know it out of the earth. if you or him a car chick it's best to be 1st hatched because i'm a car mom typically neglects those that hatch later so the 1st chick that hatch says will receive all of her care and then the 2nd tick that hatch as if she has enough resources so care for that check but checks number 3 and 4 will usually die from starvation. even chick number 2 has at best a 5050 chance of survival is to open your own somebody call most on the story and

nothing which only fit in here at the. end of those doing. this but isn't it sad that it appears. there. today both many chicks had a good checker. there's a new kind of nest being tested out at tumble part of it's made of cement soaked burlap researchers want to see if it's more durable than wooden nests which only last a couple of years in the jungle. 65 same as yesterday but today things don't seem to be going well for these 2 chicks from the experimental nest neither shows signs of being fed by their parents and researcher liz piper is concerned i mean these because it's just the beginning of the day and they will come back from the clay and they're going to feed them later no. time to get these chicks back home.

research after sundown at the center can be challenging the generator provides electricity only 7 hours a day. a good head lamp is your best friend along with your mosquito net to keep unwanted guests out of bed. and during meal time you have to keep an eye out for the occasional thief. this one targeted our techno crew. pretty good idea. this macaw is in a sense. near the center with his mate. they're both scarlet macaws a species that can live to the ripe old age of 50 in the wild scarlet macaws are

doing well here but endangered in other regions in mexico less than 250 survived in the wild as of 2013 the result of illegal pet trade and habitat loss. you know since you will has little here of humans that's because a little over 20 years ago in 1900. 6 were chosen to be raised by hand at the center then released into the wild the macaws participating in the study known as the chicos. the ones that these researchers were going to die they remove them from the nest and raise them here what was the purpose the cars were disappearing because the illegal pet trade was looming cars were at a really high demand in north america and in europe so they wanted to see if reintroduction of the cars was a viable option to save some of these population the study was

a success more than half of the scotoma cars released survived at least 7 years in the wild some of these new cars still stick around the area and those in the cars and the most aggressive with us because they have no fear that humans. this morning the team is doing a check up on you know since you and your choice 2 chicks but unlike wild macaws these parents don't leave when any climbs to the nest. getting chicks out when mom and dad are home and home is more than 90 feet up is challenging. in. any uses these paddles to gently push the adults out of the way. then she places the chicks in the bucket and sends them down to researcher liz pipe below.

could have been a lee. she goes can breed out of season because they have a ready supply of food year round they steal it or charm it out of humans at the center. if there is a rhythm to it is. if the extra food source also means she goes or more likely to raise more than one chick to adulthood. his proposal. it was time for these little guys to go back to their parents and any to come down. to. after seeing the researchers reach heights and views normally only the macaws get to see her figure it out for me to give it a shot. who

. is much harder than the researchers make a walk through. and the time a length of time out of breath he will be sweaty. with a view. over his ears. there are 2 more chicks the need their checkups today from the nest called hugo. huge. only. if you like

a problem of the zone here from the learn as. you go one is a little over a month away from being ready to fledge or take its 1st flight more than a teacup is needed to hold this bird as its weight. by this age the wings in the feet are almost the size of an adult and. c c so the climber up top just yelled down saying that she saw a lightning strike and she thinks there's a storm by 10 or 15 minutes away obviously not good to be at the top of the tall tree during a lightning storm and these macaws don't do well in the rain so it's time to hurry up right. by a few more photos and it's time to bring out hugo to nest with 2 healthy chicks is rare i was lucky enough to see several including these 2 guys next to 3 days.

when that piece of them is in. the news or science veterinarian elizabeth for through good is also going to take a crop sample from this bird to get an idea of its diet the crop is this board where they store food before digesting she's prison lubricant on the tubes they can pass through the throat of the macaw comfortably. helps them because they're. basically in the 1st 1530 days of its life this will be quite red from of the clay that it eats but once it's this age their diet varies a lot more so this. all good stuff research on a macaws diet helps scientists see how the rain forest is critical to their survival a quick swab to make sure the macaws mouth is clean and

a good check up for this mccall is done that is amazing look at. what cars are known as umbrella species making the right conservation decisions to protect them means protecting the countless other species and this special habitat they call home. and right now this habitat here in the tumble part the national reserve is thriving. researchers reported that all of the chicks we saw have now fledged even the 2 in the experimental cement nest in each success here offers hope for struggling macaw populations throughout the tropics. overlooking or absent the secret he wonders to now. and.

when it comes to studying creatures living inside the amazon rain forest. is about as good as it gets. this gorgeous creature is a juvenile red tailed and it looks so fresh because it just. brimming with forest in life there are likely thousands of species yet to be discovered and that's where i come in take note 1st visited here in 2013 to look at this spider i helped discover it's a tiny fighter disguised as a bigfoot ship. that was the 1st animal recorded to actually build a fake animal from scratch we also went to solve what was making this mysterious structure we call so can't judge. these discoveries were talked about around the

world like your online at reddit even on m.s.n. b c which compared my discovery to the hairstyle of a new york city celebrity or perhaps the inspiration for donald trump's hair back in tumble ponta it was time to check in on the spiders and more. first up the decoys. after searching the forest the night we came upon one just meters away from the research center and were able to document it for the 1st time ever in the act of actually building the fake spider and catching prey consider this a success in my book. but not all of field work is guaranteed success some. times the forest has its own plan. a moonlit boat ride to a nearby island to take a crack at solving another amazon mystery last year i led an expedition to this

island to solve the mystery of so can. and despite a few hours search in the area in which i had previously found many turned completely empty frustrating but all part of the process. but not all was lost on this island visit i encountered one of the few species out there that even scares me and had to document it for a colleague's research project to meet the wandering spider the deadliest spider in south america one of the ways you can tell is a wandering spiders by the color underneath its front legs so i'm going to tap it a little bit see if it gets the pencil it should lift them up to take a shot i get at it. the next day tracking down a recent discovery that really has me excited and never before seen butterfly

interactions i had been able to solve despite several attempts. coming back to peru i had no idea if i would ever see this butterfly again but i just spent 3 hours observing it and already learned so many amazing new things the scientist in me couldn't be happier. here's how it works it all starts on young bamboo plants 1st the butterfly lays the eggs then the skin involved the caterpillar stages a butterfly actually leaves the clients out of a specialized glands and in return the ants protect even from us but what's new here and what happens nowhere else in the world occurs once that caterpillar develops into the butterfly stage the. butterflies actually trick the air and steal their liquid food coming out of the bamboo and normally eat butterflies not share a meal with them. these butterflies likely trip them by smelling like air

it but even more unique they look like them to. the wings of the butterfly have a pattern of an ant hidden within only revealed when we saw them in the wild. to top it off we caught a butterfly actually taking food right out of the mouth of an ant something also never documented before. with this behavior recorded a new i wasn't coming home empty handed science like this helps us understand the wild world around us and the importance of protecting individual species which may influence another. after one last jungle stroll into the night i had all but forgotten about not finding silk hinge the night before when miles from where it should be this happened well this is completely unexpected end

of my trip through the proving amazon heading back to base to pack my bags and i turn to my rights and look what i finally found. this is the rain forest wild unexpected always a challenge to understand and though my time here is over the macabre researchers and others will keep on hiking climbing and documenting their way through tumble part of. it because as a group some species are extremely into injured others not so much the ones that you guys were looking at when they fall so they focus on a somewhere in the middle basically a lot of their population is fairly well protected and that's why this is such an amazing study site because you see them as they should be however if you step outside of that in places like central america the same species is in a lot of trouble because they're regionally endangered things like the illegal pet

trade is given to them have a tad loss is given to them so by understanding what is going on there we can see what should be going on in other places that for me it was so exciting because you know i'm a chemist and a biologist i work in a lab indoor is a very sterile environment so this is a really great reminder for me that science really happens anywhere and i mean you guys have entire rain forest is your laboratory it's pretty cool must tell you sometimes i'm out there and i envy the life in the lab because you guys can do repeated experiments they are controlled held there in the rain forest it's pretty hard to control so they're not in the old environs rock and from climbing up to the canopy to look inside a macaw nest watching butterflies an ant hanging out in a way that has never been documented before we hear a techno have the privilege of access to these types of stories from scientists all over the world will bring you more next on will see that. dive deep into these stories and go behind the scenes at al jazeera dot com slash techno follow our expert contributors on twitter facebook instagram google plus and more.
