the president well president trump and his allies have been trying to distance themselves from paul newman affords for some time saying that he didn't work for the trunk and pain for long and he wasn't very important which is clearly not true because he was the campaign manager for five months in a very decisive phrase donald trump secured the republican nomination and richard gates also stayed in touch with the trumpet ministration reportedly went in and out of the white house regularly for much of this year what is true of course is that all those charges do not relate to the connections or alleged connections of the trump campaign to russia or any collusion this is all about their doing before trump became president or even ran as a candidate for president so that is certainly true but it still is bad optics for the president and briefly if he could cost and what about reaction then from the

donald and indeed the white house well donald trump as usual has taken to twitter also pointing out that the charges nothing to do with his campaign and instead saying that robert mueller should look into hillary clinton and the democrats connections to russia clearly this is a distraction from the bad press that once again is getting here but it might work with his base and that's certainly the line that the white house and the trump allies tread for the rest of the day cause of phenomena in washington thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world forest fires in northwestern italy have forced more than a thousand people to leave their homes towards an italian media set of the blazes near the french border believed to have been started deliberately. the u.n. weather agency is warning that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere grew

nairobi welcome an aide if so if the commission's has confirmed the president kenyatta has won with a ninety eight percent of the vote which of course a landslide what has been the reaction. supporters of president hu kenyatta have been very jubilant in fact he has actually been declared president just a few moments ago he took to the podium to receive the official documents from him the current president of kenya and his supporters have been jubilant saying that this electoral process was like no other the rules were followed all the way you know all the t.'s were crossed and all the i's were dotted and they don't see anything wrong with the process as was carried out however the opposition it did find a lot of problems with this being the fact that they did not participate saying that they simply cannot be ignored and their silence is too large to allow such an election to continue and questioned. will there be questions what will there be any

challenge to this given the low turnout the boycott the violence and the fact that somebody just didn't actually get to vote. this is a question we. had expected to hear from opposition candidate right loading up today he had said over the weekend that he would be making a big announcement today but that is yet to happen and of course a lot of the cards humor at this point how this election game play is it out does rely heavily on how he reacts to the current situation which is that who cannot or has been declared president but also shall we get a lot of people have been calling for peace and calm but this is obviously not what has been happening on the streets have been running battles between opposition supporters and police and i'm just international has it been said that the police have been heavy handed even though the state has said that they were simply quoting protests from people who had decided to break the law so that a running battle started after the election and before this result has been was it

was announced so what can we expect next. a lot of people don't want to admit it but the truth is everyone is going to do their breath waiting for the west earlier today i was near. settlement i did see a lot of military trucks going up and down that route there were also emergency service vehicles and perhaps therefore working with a lot of people think is inevitable when you have two groups of people in one country who have very diverse views then that's bound to happen but then there are also people who are on the edges those who are not partisan who think that this election was a fraud and they do not even the institutions and the ones that rectified and they say that their voice is going got hurt in this entire process it is a commodity in nairobi thank you academy award winning actor kevin spacey has become the latest star to face allegations of sexual impropriety for the actor anthony rapp was told buzz feed that his nine hundred eighty six when he was

honest saleable lane. vettel was not giving up however he recovered from nineteenth but his fourth place finish was not good enough to delay hamilton celebrations. hamilton. to seal his full formula one championship. it doesn't feel real man i mean obviously that's not the kind of race that i want. when you're forty seconds behind something but you know i never gave up and that's really i guess what's important in my heart. hamilton now has his sights set on me his record of seven f one titles. and football that abram and coach alexander nori has been sacked after a disastrous start a season from the last three. on sunday between them without a loan for the first ten matches of the season and a new only the club has scored just three goals this campaign on the second bottom of the bones as they get table alexander no he took over last season instead bremen

away from delegation that failed to build on his promise. this is doubly news live from i'll be back at the top of the hour in the meantime you've got all the latest news and information around the clock on our website. of the day . health. but here it's too long. solidarity. they fall by the wayside when the gap between rich and poor grows. life in an equal societies. the divide starting november fifteenth on d w.

i'm standing in the arizona desert feeling somewhat lost before me superstition mountain land that is sacred to the native american apache time. my search seems to have come to an end. there are no apaches to be found here only mountain lions will i be torn to bits by mountain lines before i find the answer i see. it all began at the family plot in a cemetery in lugano switzerland ever since i was a boy i've always imagined my name would one day be chiseled on the gravestone beneath those of my ancestors something i was never particularly enthusiastic about

. a few weeks ago my grandfather died in this nursing on he had a zest for life and arise sense of humor. in his final years he could hardly hear the news site was poor it seemed as though he was withdrawing from the world and. i wondered to myself if such a life is worth living the idea of dying in a nursing home frightens me. but the idea that anyone or anything could outlive me seems equally ridiculous. the fact that the trees here in this park will still be standing decades after i've been put into the ground you simply inconceivable. unfortunately all the effort i've put into keeping myself young as in helped much.

yes. jesus. is now. out. of the sun. a boy. and in fact advanced technologies and scientific discoveries actually do make it seem that the idea of vastly extending long is within reach i want to explore the possibilities and discover the secret of eternal youth you know the words i've

decided to become immortal. yet. i need someone to guide me on the road to eternal life so i've decided to pay a visit to stephen king a philosopher who wrote a book called immortality. all

living things strive to survive to live on they have a will to live but we humans perhaps alone of all the animals are aware that this will to live will one day be thwarted this is our curse for being so damn clever and so we have to live in the knowledge that all our hopes all our dreams will come to nothing we live in the shadow of a personal apocalypse. and even though it might sound implausible almost every culture in human history has had some story of an elixir of life or fountain of youth or something they can help us to keep going forever and that's exactly the leader i've decided to pursue first the elixir of life. a good place to begin is with abra degrade in san francisco he's a biomedical gerontologist who believes that the first humans who will live to be

a thousand have already been born. they may already even be in middle age like me i drive around to the town of mountain view in silicon valley it's home to the sense research foundation which degrade co-founded the research findings are disputed in scientific circles but they're based on solid scientifically recognized data. i still think it's quite likely that the first person to live to a thousand is in middle age or maybe even a little older i think that the first cohort in other words people born in a given year who were mostly live to one thousand probably in their twenty's or thirty's now something like that all work is focused on what we like to call rejuvenation biotechnology so what that means if medicines that we can apply to people who are already in middle age or maybe even older and which will actually

repair have at the molecular and cellular level so restoring our bodies to a state similar to a young adult in other words we are not simply looking to slow aging down we are actually looking at ways to reverse aging so that means that people who are not benefiting from these therapies will look and feel and function in every way mentally and physically just like young adults. with the help of degrees rejuvenation therapies i could once again look like i did it twenty. the sense foundation laboratory looks like any other biomedical app but the disease they're trying to cure here is aging only part of the research is done at this site the foundation also works with a number of prestigious universities such as you cambridge harvard and wake forest

we start from the recognition that the body is a machine of course it's a really really really complicated machine but it's still a machine. any machine where moving parts. does damage to itself has a side effect of its normal operation so that means we should be able to look at simple man made machines like cars and ask ourself well how do we already today successfully create cars maintain cars so that they are actually working just as well as when they were built and the answer is preventative maintenance. so we are applying that same concept to the human body but the real innovation that i put forward nearly fifteen years ago now and which inspires all of our work is

that it may be possible to do repair comprehensively week identify seven major types of damage to molecular and cellular damage that the body does to itself a side effect of its normal operation so there is one type of damage and the therapy which is very familiar to everyone these days in fact the type of damage is loss of self self dying and not being automatically replaced by the division of other self and the therapy there is simply stem cell therapy everyone toast themselves there because that's all it is if we are successful it rejuvenated people if we are restoring them to a younger biological age then of course we can do it more than once we can do it every thirty years or whatever and that means that we should be able to do exactly the same to the human body in terms of how long it live as we do so airplane so there shouldn't be any limits on how long people can live.

indeed. i agree with what aubrey de grey says about aging. the thought of getting old still seems dreadful to me. that i'm glad he's putting all his energy and enthusiasm into it as he puts it curing the problem. he's basically declared that i have a fifty percent chance of achieving eternal life by actually dared to expect more from the mortality group from the elixir of long life but i'll simply have to be satisfied with what i've got for the time being the way they are. when we look back through history we see that the one thing that all of these alexia drinkers now have in common is that they're all six foot under they're all dead so many a backup plan and that backup plan is exactly what the second fundamental kind of

immortality story office is stays with the idea that we are these physical things these bodies but it except these bodies are going to have to die but he says aha these bodies can rise again we can live again this is of course resurrection when we look around we see that in winter living things die the plants around us die back the leaves fall from the trees that in spring they are reborn they grow again so it was a natural cycle of life death and rebirth and many rituals in human history many religions have been about tapping into this natural cycle so that we too live die and yet then can be reborn. the latest version of the elixir of life doesn't.
