1:00 pm
in an epic feud of rich versus poor the friends you make for. you see a. lot of the stories that we cover all hardly conflicts so it's very important we make them is understandable as we care as always is there a corresponding stress will be strong to do. this is 0. hello there i'm a study attained this is the news hour live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. reports of several protesters killed in myanmar demonstrators in yangon use smoke unaids to escape a police crackdown. multiple rocket attacks hit an iraqi airbase that's also being used by the u.s. and coalition forces. here to interest chairman is to step down next year after his
1:01 pm
mining company faced an uproar for destroying sacred aboriginal sites. and glowing in the dark the giant luminous sharks discovered off new zealand that could help scientists unlock more about life in the deep sea. i don't peter simmons with all the day's sports news reports in japan so the government is planning on stopping international fans coming towards circular lympics in an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus. bar where beginning with reports that several people have been killed at and t. korea protests across me and the police backed by soldiers have been trying to break up demonstrations across many cities protesters across the country are again defying an escalating crackdown to demand an end to the military takeover scott highlight is monitoring the situation for us from bangkok in neighboring thailand
1:02 pm
scott protesters still out being met with bullets while civilian leaders are facing additional charges it does seem like the generals here are just following their usual playbook. and they are and this comes after you know a stepped up regional and international effort we're hearing that as many 9 people have died today wednesday this would make it the 2nd deadliest day compared to sunday this past sunday were 18 were killed so clearly the external pressure of the regional pressure is doing nothing to the jury the generals and how they're carrying out this escalating crackdown for those protesters across myanmar now what's interesting too is it's not just in one area where several locations with several reports multiple reports of people being killed again there coming out with live fire live ammunition being used against the protesters as you mentioned at the top of the show something that's interesting that the protesters have tried to do
1:03 pm
to protect themselves they're getting quite creative they have a homemade shields and they're wearing helmets now but also the smoke screen they're trying to use to prevent those soldiers policeman with weapons with live ammunition mission weapons creating a smokescreen so if there is a retreat if there's an advance by the security forces and they have to retreat the protesters retreat they throw up this smokescreen to hopefully prevent people from being shot it's not doing the job completely obviously if it's probably helping a bit but it's still there still protesters being killed by live rounds and again we're looking at probably the 2nd deadliest day so far in this over 3 weeks going on a month of protests scott you mentioned regional pressure than yesterday we saw a relatively tepid statement from foreign ministers after they asked and meeting do you get the sense that there is anything at all going on that might move the calculus for the military any time soon. well i think you know when you look at the regional approach. by nature really doesn't come out with the statements
1:04 pm
early on with any kind of teeth when it comes to dealing with any of its 10 member states what was probably started which is the hope i guess you could say is that there are negotiations going on that really haven't been brought to light outside of the 10 nations yet that is the hope but the problem with that is and you can well understand why the international community the community inside myanmar who are out in the streets they're growing very impatient with the lack of action from regional players but it has to be said that the regional players in the way this works it's a slow process it's a negotiation in other words you can't you know the joint has to feel as though they're sitting down with an ally to proselyte make progress on that but in the meantime clearly the job isn't changing their tactics at all when it comes to yes dealing with the protesters on the streets and their heavy hand but also in the court system you know we heard that the president 2 more charges have been put on
1:05 pm
top of them and when you look at his case. case they are really kind of stacking the deck against them the kind of changing the playing field as they're going along clearly to keep them in detention because if there's any chance of them ever getting out that would obviously fuel the protesters that they have reached some kind of a victory and that's obviously what the judge to wants to prevent in any way scott heide across all that for us from bangkok in thailand thanks so much scott. well there's been an explosion at a coronavirus testing center in the netherlands police have cordoned off that area and bove in scapa that's a town north of the capital amsterdam they have been protests against downs in recent weeks and parliamentary elections in just 2 weeks well let's cross now to step fasten she's just a where that explosion happened now step we have seen the it's protests against
1:06 pm
restrictions and we also actually saw a 5 day i believe set as a kind of a testing center in january what do we know about what's happened actually hit today. yes here in the north of the netherlands at the test facility just early in the morning at 7 o'clock a metal pipe bomb i can say it was 10 centimeters long exploded in front of this class facility there was one security guard inside but he dug didn't get injured windows broke though the police are still at the scene here also the explosive. surface people have arrived here to look at what this explosive is actually about this is the 1st time actually an explosion took place as you say there was a fire before a few weeks ago at a not of a test facility and there have been some smaller attacks at tax facilities in the past as well as you say that there is increasing protests and also irritation about
1:07 pm
corona restrictions there's also a movement that has been corona denying from the start also you can see for right before these elections that are taking place in 2 weeks from now some parties especially some far right parties are really tapping in to this sentiment. there was a protest by bar and restaurant oh no so also in several towns in the city they basically defied government restrictions what we could see there was these far right party was actually there campaigning at the same time so it is a lot of politics as well or at play here steph i'm curious and with the election so close you mention the far right are using the situation here to try to bring it to their advantage and and you mentioned those protests that you were at yesterday when we spoke can you give us a sense of the anger that people are feeling and whether that might actually shift politics and in the netherlands for for the foreseeable future.
1:08 pm
well it's a very interesting situation because in the area where we are right now the infections are really going up with a real serious outbreak the hospitals here are really struggling they have actually been transporting of patients to other cities as well so and also really in the netherlands infections are actually on the rise the are the reproduction figure has gone up above one who now sort of governments at these was frictions are really still necessary but on the other side you see this population who is really increasingly getting frustrated irritated business owners who are losing business but also people who are enjoying the springtime the sun is out they really don't listen to the rich these restrictions anymore they go out in full force go to parks so there is a real clash between what the government is saying is still necessary and a lot of people in the population are trying to achieve step vasant on the ground
1:09 pm
for us in the netherlands thanks so much she has all the latest thanks jeff. well brazil is now facing its worst moment since this corona virus pandemic began on tuesday its sub passed the united states in the day to number of deaths cross to 1700 and just one day at intensive care units and more than 2 thirds of its state capitals are now on the verge of collapse and want to get a cab reports from rio de janeiro. a battle of wills in the midst of tragedy one that has killed more than a quarter of a 1000000 brazilians in a year the 2nd highest death toll in the world local authorities shut down brazil's capital city brasilia to save the health system from total collapse more than 90 percent of intensive care beds are occupied and cope with 19 infections are on the rise by. emergency lockdown was met with anger by some
1:10 pm
who took to the streets shouting we want to work and president. took their sign he threatened to punish governors and mayors who are pushing for lock downs in curfews by cutting off federal assistance was. there was where this from now on the governor who closes his state who destroys jobs will be the one who pays for the emergency aid. but he offered no solution to the health crisis the worst since the beginning of the pandemic 20 out of brazil's $27.00 state capitals have run out of beds in their intensive care units and an estimated 70 brazilians are dying every hour from covert 19 meanwhile vaccines are slow in coming in only 3 percent of the population has been inoculated so far. if we do not stop the outbreak will face
1:11 pm
a total collapse of the health system we can increase the number of intensive care beds all we want but if the number of infections continues to grow they'll never be enough the only solution is a 14 day nationwide lockdown like other countries have imposed with success but here we face a lack of leadership and total denial. several brazilian states and the capital brasilia have been posed restrictions to fight the 2nd wave of the pandemic but here are wary of the janeiro life continues pretty much as usual people are making the most of their summer staying on the big as you can see until nightfall but fears of a 2nd wave in the total lack of unity in fighting the pandemic are affecting business cattle fury says he rarely leaves the house but has decided to enjoy one last night out he's sure things will get much worse before they get better monica unite give al-jazeera rio de janeiro. well the republican controlled u.s.
1:12 pm
states of texas and mississippi are lifting nearly all of their current virus restrictions despite warnings from health officials from next week all businesses will be able to fully reopen and no one will be required to wear a mask this week the head of the centers for disease control warned against such a rollback saying it could lead to a surge in infections the number of cases in the u.s. has been slowly declining which many attribute to the tighter restrictions well there's plenty more ahead this news hour including a 7 year old girl caught up in police raids offices are accused of being heavy handed with chile's indigenous approach a community. hospitals have been attacked over and over in syria's decade long war we hear how the effects of the god and government systematic campaign are causing damage. and brazil's football legend pele gets the credit 1000 vaccine that's coming up in sports repeating.
1:13 pm
now in iraq a military facility that's also used by u.s. forces has come under attack multiple rockets have landed on the base just days after u.s. president joe biden ordered a strike on facilities used by iran backed groups in syria that bases around 180 kilometers northwest of baghdad smaller fulton has more now from the capital. the latest rocket attacks on iraq's western anbar province could be in response to the biden administration's 1st strikes against iranian backed armed groups last week in syria we have had no claim of responsibility so far but these latest attacks on analysts which of course houses many u.s. troops does bear the hallmarks of previous rocket attacks that we have seen which the united states has blamed on the iranian backed armed factions now we have seen
1:14 pm
several statements come out from these groups over the past few days and they have of course condemned those u.s. strikes against their fighters they have claimed that those fighters are based at iraq's border with syria to protect iraqi soil from iceland they have also called on the iraqi government to condemn those strikes which they see as an attack on iraq the fighters on iraq's sovereignty but of course the iraqi government has not done that last friday the ministry of defense did issue a statement in which it claimed that it had no involvement in those u.s. strikes that it did not call aberrated the united states on that matter but that statement stopped short of criticizing the united states for its actions and that is because of course further angered these armed groups who may have then decided to take actions into their own hands now there were no casualties or material damage as a result of today's rocket attacks which is why we don't really expect the united
1:15 pm
states to immediately retaliate but it remains to be seen whether we will see an increase in these kind of incidents over the next few days is especially as pope francis is expected to visit iraq on friday. well let's take into this with a sob you see he is an assistant professor at the critical security program at the doha institute for graduate studies and he joins us now on the surface of this it appears to have been a potentially tit for tat attack 2 weeks ago u.s. led forces in iraq come under attack and then as the miner was saying the white house retaliation and now this are you concerned about an ongoing escalation here. definitely there are. the words. you're on your thoughts but i don't think that the iranian. you want increased. notice there are no. you know. well you know so
1:16 pm
similar to. the one you're really more in the iranian that's all the other groups that's right but we know what. you're on brought up well it's also a cement i'm saying just 2 days before pope francis is due to visit and i see he's saying that he's still going to go he doesn't let people down but what do you make of the timing and the security situation ahead of his visit. well it. all and unless you're right it's not. your country and the government does not have a monopoly. however i don't think that. is related to the. proposed reasons one of them as. you probably noticed from his is what he will be back not just. yet and then. which is very far
1:17 pm
away from where the action and in addition to the. iran stuff it was not. us us in the north of iraq because we want to place. so i don't think. you correlation in the. newsgroups they also know that the earth who are. the united states that i'm sure they want to show that you are somewhat. and it's you know has a good relationship with the relationship. or minority that exists in iraq well as you alluded to there we have seen the security situation broadly and parts of iraq deteriorate fairly dramatically and a number of different on keep trying volved what's driving this to terry nation. well those are all of these groups they are not the answer to your room and those folks are all bush government is an iraq if you. will of the iraq you know
1:18 pm
you like we lack. an employment very high. well then admission. price that exists. so now we have yet to see you think your former works fine they. aren't. but there are lots of ribbons on the social but when the government and or all of its members and there are so many of them in the huge problem. allotment where you are so of course richard you know that is. right. and yours well let me then ask you about the impact of u.s. foreign foreign policy in iraq at the moment because the biden administration's approach to the whole region was really presented as
1:19 pm
a departure from former president trump that has much actually changed in practice . not really i mean but the problem is not the us of a problem for iraq is that iraq. from what they used to and there's. problems with. the iraq it's also a better product when you're out of the work so any time to rise or to. of who or. what is in the right and. all that are not working so well group of countries of course. and in addition to that also. you also. want to. us that in this region and europe they would want to meet the limits of. ministration then there are. and they would still like whereas this policy. there was not
1:20 pm
a. dramatic shift. so corpulent look around the next. hour you see there the doha institute for graduate studies great take your thoughts here and out there thanks for being with us my son now rio tinto is chairman says he will step down next year and the latest a high profile departure from the mining giant for destroying cave sacred to the aboriginal community in australia the destruction of the you can go watch rock shelters last year sparked a massive public and investor uproar simon thompson says he holds himself accountable for the event 3 senior executives including the c.e.o. have also already resigned gates has the latest now from canberra. this has been extremely damaging paul rio tinto his reputation and the significance of what happened here really can't be underestimated these caves with 40 seats 1000 years old and contained some of the oldest barn tools to be discovered in
1:21 pm
a strike and rio tinto you knew about their cultural significance when they blew them up so while this is welcome news to many people it will buy some the same as another step in the process of rio tinto are you trying to show you that it is accountable for its actions in terms of simon thomson stepping down pressure has been building all on him to take personal accountability from environmental activists and shareholders and that's exactly what he has done in a statement issued by rio tinto to the stock exchange he says that ultimately he is accountable for the actions that did take place that led to the destruction of these caves but one interesting thing here that some indigenous organisations have taken notice of is the timeline the national nature of tonsil
1:22 pm
council has questioned why simon thomson should be staying in the position until next year given he was in that position and over the civil war the destruction of these caves these indigenous council is calling for his immediate resignation. well the threat from mining to indigenous sites goes well beyond the you can gorge and companies are coming under more scrutiny dozens of mining sites have recently been approved many of them in western australia and queensland that's despite serious concern that they're failing to protect some of the 35000 ancient and sacred sites last week the mining found for test you said it regrets carrying a sacred site without allowing community elders to salvage artifacts and perform important cultural rights it claimed an administrative error in the same week mining giant b.h.p. said it was investigating a rock for that had damaged a sacred site and pilbara and western australia that area there is not part of its act of operations where we can now speak to marshall langton she's the foundation
1:23 pm
chair of australian indigenous studies at the university of melbourne and she joins us from there now a professor this really isn't the 1st time we've seen such sacred indigenous sites destroyed but it does feel like one of the 1st times we've seen someone take this level of responsibility for it does this market turning point not stop to you i have to unfortunately so i know it doesn't mark the chili when. i'm not. just serving you'll be. seeing a smile. when. she read it to judge last year you destroy the uganda lynch site retired. last year and john sebastian. this. is. the you don't model rio tinto iron ore it was destroyed krystle's free all had to stand down.
1:24 pm
after period oh of spin doctoring. the there are apologies instance see out because they were countermanded by leaks in the media of what was actually say to make which i can't repay on television because i was so crude. and so now there has been a lot of pressure on the board and there's a huge disappointment in a strike with the the quarterly independent investigative group who are out by a strike and board member of the rio to hold michael a strike. and this our investigation was led by simon thomson. so you saying what actually happened was that the substance of the report was found to be less than accurate and i'm being as large as possible.
1:25 pm
when more evidence was given to the powell mainstream wire inas a joint commenter a wide range of the destruction of the yukon gold strikes by. and the evidence was laid. that reveal that no react not only with harold's 'd very pertinent into my shin but also the slate mentary inquiry and the strike in public so there were poor opportunities that i had hour to not destroy that was sites but they went ahead and destroyed the sites and why despite appeals from the traditional line is not to do it and despite the fact that i had iraqi logical reports with the early evidence light out as to the antiquity of aboriginal occupation of those kinds 46000 years ago and so i
1:26 pm
don't actually i'm really surprised at that sign and thompson has finally stood down. to die i thought he had got a bit longer and ah but but as it turns out yes and stood down what he said is that he will stand for reelection to the board at that. and that he'd like to he had to study are able to find a replacement for him shots. i want to i'm sorry to interrupt you because i do want to ask you not just about mines and corporations because it's not just me or tinto and other corporations who are destroying sacred sites here we saw the state of victoria friend stance cut down a very sacred tree last year to build a highway is there accountability in government for such incidents as well is there a change or conversation around trying to shift the culture here. there
1:27 pm
is i national war i conversation at least a monster aboriginal people. demanding reform of cultural heritage legislation. legislation in the states the territories and at the federal level. the what's the strident government has had. and why really relates to discussion. nobody's satisfied with what they signed. in the victorian chis is this very good legislation. but i think our politics time into that decision and so i number of aboriginal people were ignored in the process. and i lodge a number of aboriginal people actually stated to the destruction of the trees in that area so so clearly. around accountability and ongoing ones at that
1:28 pm
professor marcia langton there the foundation chair of a strain in a digital studies at university of melbourne great to get your thoughts here on out there thanks for being with us professor thank you. still ahead here on al-jazeera we visit the lab in south africa where a more infectious private 19 variant of the best of scotland. and it's not all green eggs and ham like dr states has decided to stop publishing fix of his bugs. and bron james caan to help prevent defeat for the l.a. lakers and the n.b.a. peace will be here with all the action for. how i would is set to turn somewhat cooler across northern parts of europe over the next couple of days we've got a barrier of high pressure into central parts and that's getting squeeze out of the
1:29 pm
way so that's going to allow some banks of cloud and rain to just roll in from the atlantic and will see that what's the weather moving across southern parts of england through wales as we go on through thursday down across the low countries sinking down across parts of germany further east we still have some restate in the snow there from moscow 3 degrees celsius is that system makes its way $3.00 to $7.00 celsius in london 12 degrees there in paris we go in through friday will see that cold wet a and wintry weather it's eyes sinking further south with the 7 degrees there in paris by this stage as that's a disturbed weather just pushes down into central possibly some wet weather around the balkans italy seeing some showers still a few showers there into space and post-school a little drier by this stage across the eastern side of the mediterranean we still have one of 2 shallows in place shabby rain just drifting down across the phone north east of egypt for a time want to see showers as well into northern parts of algeria really that was the weather that we have moving across portugal ellice slide down across the
1:30 pm
straits of gibraltar bringing some rain into northern parts of iraq i. jump into the story there is a lot going on in this one julian global community when i talk about the misinformation i think we are more afraid than we are aware be part of the debate don't ever take anybody's one word because there's always a difference when no topic is off the table we have been disconnected from our land we have been disconnected from who we are good enough to heat a new and a to be part of today's discussion this dream on out is their. hard work to al-jazeera english since its launch as a principal presenter and as a correspondent with any breaking news story in the world to hear from those people who would normally not get the voices heard on the international news channel one moment i'll be very proud off was when we covered the poll of quite a 2050
1:31 pm
a terrible not shoulders out stuff and the story that needed to be told from the heart of the affected area to be that to tell the people story was very important at the time. again. that's my new about top stories here this hour there are reports that several people have been killed at and t. crew protests across miasma police backed by soldiers have been trying to break up demonstrations as protesters defy the escalating crackdown. and iraqi military facility that is also used by u.s. forces has come under attack multiple rockets have landed on the base just days
1:32 pm
after the u.s. struck the cities used by iranian backed groups in syria. there's been an explosion at a coronavirus testing center and the netherlands police have cordoned off the area and both in a town north of athens today they have also been protests against restrictions in recent weeks. well south africa is now saying it's vaccinated tens of thousands of its health care workers but the johnson and johnson vaccine it had planned to use the oxford astra zeneca jab but that rollout was suspended last month after the discovery of a new and more contagious cribbage $1000.00 variant for me to miller takes us now into a lab in cars they're going to tell where that new strain was festus got it. and every day day after day visit to rio de oliveira leads the team at south africa's university of course they're responsible for sequencing the genomes of hundreds of samples of code that 19 being moved through the room where they will extract there are and very often
1:33 pm
a virus simply put scientists observe not only how the virus grows and mutates but also how effective vaccines are in protecting people from the disease it's at this lab late last year that scientists discovered one of the 1st coded 19 variants in the world after doctors noticed a wiring rise in fictions or 5 or one wire through variants and that the head around like 20 to 30 in your patients from the audition always trained with 2 went off then called the i'm annoyed as sids change which changes their frontrunner off the propane which translates into vitals to be more profitable but i'll follow as neutralizer by and the board so given that scientific understanding it's not a surprise that the new variant is the dominant theory into its other even though they cannot be accepted as thought this variant when it arrives if it is brave the queen has to be for 20 or 30 different limit to sickle a thing and they all days it does appear now we have all of the variant 3 just
1:34 pm
finished and for every day and 99 percent of the genome is there is very the discovery of the variant to railed south africa's plans to begin immunizing its health workers with the oxford astra zeneca vaccine studies had suggested it would cut the risk of contracting the original very. end of covert 19 by 75 percent but a local trial of about 2000 people showed it was lisita fictive against the new variant which showed from gather with colleagues of our foreign affairs any that a lot of infections to happen both in their blood. and often device and they scientists say more research is needed to show how effective that vaccine is against severe illness but the world health organization has approved its emergency use for now south africa is using the johnson and johnson vaccine which has shown to be more effective and will instead distribute its batch of astra zeneca vaccines
1:35 pm
to other african countries that are for america has been effective against very effective against and not the non variant as the virus is likely to continue to mutate they are warnings that somebody has a vaccination drive should speed up and it's labs like this one that help ensure scientists stay on top of those mutations and determine just which vaccines will work for me to mona. aid agencies say that syria's rebel controlled areas need urgent help to support their devastated health systems that warning coincides with the 10 year anniversary of the civil war in that time the syrian government and its allies have carried out widespread and deliberate attacks that have damaged or destroyed hospitals they know what has been. much from of the . photos drama the hospitals have been repeatedly bombed in what has been described as a systematic campaign to force the opposition to surrender and. hundreds
1:36 pm
of air strikes by syrian government and russian warplanes have been documented throughout the years of conflict. many advocacy groups like physicians for human rights have tracked that least 595 air or artillery attacks on health care facilities in syria since 20112 years later they were described as war crimes by u.n. investigators who said the hospitals were being bombed to gain military advantage but apart from condemnations little else was done and the rules of war continued to be ignored. but still nothing but the russian and syrian government have denied targeting civilians or civilian buildings despite evidence to the contrary and international recognition of the widespread and sometimes deliberate litter of the attacks. we know now.
1:37 pm
we know that. a survey by the international rescue committee showed the risks health workers and civilians faced in the past decade 81 percent said they had a coworker or patient injured or killed 77 percent witnessed an average of 4 attacks on health care facilities 68 percent were inside a health facility when it was attacked part of that because you don't want them to myself in the fall 2 of the hospitals i was working in was hit i survived but that feeling is hard to describe we all felt vulnerable but we all knew what the risks of being in the hospital it meant we could be killed with one of the heads a kind of a decade of attacks has also compromised the health care system and its ability to respond to the needs of millions of syrians in opposition controlled areas in the north and the effects of the coronavirus pandemic are an added pressure on an
1:38 pm
already weak system where there is one doctor for every 10000 civilians in the midst of the situation is not good there are millions of people that live in the countryside of aleppo and matter how much i need we get just not enough we really suffer from a lack of medicines and medical equipment to treat chronic diseases as ceasefire appears to be largely holding but it hasn't eased the humanitarian crisis the violence has caused critical damage to syria's health sector affecting the ability of millions to receive proper health care center for their beirut. well the saudi coalition fighting in yemen says it's destroyed a drone launched by who the rebels this comes as the u.s. sanctions to who feel it is accusing them of getting weapons from iran and of organizing attacks last month the state department removed these terrorist designation that was imposed by the trumpet ministration and was lifted because of fears it could stop aid getting through and thereby western in yemen somalia tarion
1:39 pm
crisis now scientists have discovered 3 new varieties of shocks that can glow in the dark the luminous fish were found by scientists during a survey of the east coast of new zealand the sharks live in the deep sea where very little light gets in it's still unclear what purpose they go exactly sabs but scientists believe it could be linked to hunting or camouflage well let's now speak to one of those scientists and rome is the lead research on that shark project and is also receptive sociate at the national science foundation of the university of laval he joins us now from brussels congratulations on your discovery sir let me start with that question why did these sharks go. well thank you for your comments shouted glowing because you know if you are living and are living below 200 meter 200 meter of deaths you still have to have seen a moment of light coming from the surface so. there is a bluish atmosphere of down there decreasing but if you are swimming in that blue
1:40 pm
each of muster and you have a predictor which is below you even east looking at the surface you will see the shadow of your body and only knows that the fuel is ready to choke you but if you produce and you can see it on the image new lights virtually of course you disappear because you are bluish on a blue light surrounding you and that's the main purpose of the sharks bonus and we believe that's. so i just want to ask because i understand that the this giant shot the kite finch i believe that the dorsal fin also glows do you have a theory for why that works like that well know exactly that's something well we just just discovered the pattern of light emission the shark was known in a family containing some new new stuff some new new species but we didn't know at
1:41 pm
all that they are producing on the dorsal fin and the reason why used to italy unknown for a dish are for another show diminished and also easily going up the spine which is there close to good or 60 but has no spine so what is a glowing on the door and on the door so thin we don't know so we still have question marks and still have research to move to understand maybe there is a difference between male and female and they can signal them each other we don't know that's so fascinating i believe that your team is actually the wilds expert author on glowing sharks i see that you've estimated that something like more than 10 percent of known shark species can actually produce bioluminescence i didn't know that could you explain how that works as a different way is that it's produced. yeah yet so we have something like 500 it's 40 species of sharks and 57 so
1:42 pm
a little bit more than an person. some of them is just a report on paper it has never been seen so we believe there are so here and we've done it yes. it's the biggest one because we can measure a 1.8 meter and n e can produce lake thanks to nicaragua which are present and you can see here to do all the little dots there are. hundreds of thousands of them on the ventral site which are glowing just like you a small elite he but is a chemical reaction which is a clearing in the cell which is producing bone in a sense so used bone a sense is the prediction of visible a living organism thanks to you can reaction but if it's we don't want to shut we still don't know as we've been used to the shuttle 15 years now. yes we are maybe to the only one to study the going to show it's alive because it's really
1:43 pm
