believe they have found a revolutionary new way of monitoring in then endangered animals in the wild. up to now it's been a laborious process, involving remote cameras and trained local trackers. but the new technique involves extracting dna from the air around us to alert conservationists of animal life nearby alexia bryan explains. armed with a tiny vacuum and a filter scientist christine bowman, is gathering data at the copenhagen. so she's trying to find out which animals are kept there, not by wandering the enclosures, but from the air. what we found was that we can not only detect the animals that are kept here at the so we could also detect even species that are used to feed the animals here and assume they're using what's called environmental dna. it's been used before to work out the kinds of fish or plants living in water. but these scientists and denmark in the u. k. have worked out how to capture
10:26 pm
e dna from the air filters catching microscopic pieces of fur, saliva, and feces. while life is difficult to monitor, but if you look for giraffe, an open savannah, that's fairly easy. but if you look for something like a tape here, like this, not in a, an append like this. but in ben's reinforced, it's immensely difficult. if this works in a greater scale, it'll revolutionize the way we look at greenforest animals. the teams worked in zoos because it made it easier to confirm the source of the dna and how far it had travelled. identified dozens of species, including mere cats, live in 245 meters away. the researchers think it will be useful in the field to help track and conserve wildlife. there are 2. it's a small one until now scientific to rely on the signs animals leave behind travelling to remote areas using camera traps to snap pictures of hard to find creatures. that wonderful thing about environmental dna is almost every
10:27 pm
other bio monitoring method we have requires that the animal be present when you're assessing them. so if you're using a camera trap, they have to walk in front of the camera. if they walk behind it, you'll never see them. the great thing about environmental dna is it's more like a footprint. they leave it behind. it's early days for the researchers who don't know why some animal dna wasn't detected even though they were in the zoo. and it's unclear won't impact the way that could have on collecting the data. but the scientists hope the answers to some of the toughest questions and conservation could just be hanging in the air. alexia bron out his era now to a food fight in france over the price of a beget, they usually cost about a dollar a bakeries. but a french supermarket chain is now selling the bread for a fraction of the price with some accusing the retailer of destroying french values
10:28 pm
. natasha butler explains from paris. ah, the french bakers, a baguette, isn't just a loaf of bread. it's a work of art or both goofy, by your offer. i look bomb you and them on the moon. a 1000 people think old bread is the same, but it needs a lot of care. the dough is a life. you have to feel whether it's good or not. yeah, if, if i'm your traditional bakery cell packets for around $1.00. so a decision by a major french supermarket chain to slash its by get price to $0.30 a scandalized or tis, nor baker's lecture. felipe gas her to reply, but they are disrupting prices and a compromising on the flower and quality lighting is about passion. it's not just about money in business. more with faulty. retail in the cloud says the cut price by get aims to shield customers at a time of inflation and rising prices. but the move has caused something of an uproar in france, some fear and erosion of french values, others,
10:29 pm
the demise of quality. the debate has even made its way into the french presidential campaigns. let me get that utmost altima. i looked through laclede le ferry, now $0.30 for began. flour is $0.10, so prices are being destroyed. savage cane destruction venue. the bagget price war has certainly stirred emotions, but there is also the question of taste every year in france, the prize is awarded for the best bagget in paris. the jury is made up of top bakers, but also members of the public because nearly every one in france has an opinion about what makes a good buy get. so let's see if people can pick a 30 cent by get from a traditional one. she says, hello, yes, yes, version to la. yes. that boy is a tradition. when you go abroad, you can try hard to find a french bag out, but it doesn't exist same time, so we get off of photo, another cookie. it has to be all crusty and very fluffy. inside this,
10:30 pm
