a comfortable $68.00 seat majority the result would all but guarantee britain's departure from the european union by the end of january the games would come at the expense of his opponent's labor they are on course for their worst result in decades and let's go right to london our correspondent is standing by for us hi barbara so there is one major poll suggesting a big majority for the conservatives does this mean that boris johnson's election gamble is paying off or are voters just tired of breaks it. both to me i think there are several reasons one is that jeremy corbyn the leader of the labor party is really extremely unpopular his possible ratings really drunk bottom he's also being vilified one has to remember by large sections of the british press so that could be one reason the other reason though is that burrows johnson's message his illusion i have to say of saying let's get breakfast don let's get it out of the way let's move on that that seems to be successful with the

british voters they really are so fed up of hearing about it his critics of course point out that. the end of january that is just the beginning of the whole trade asians of the whole written new relationship with the european union and they point out that it's really almost offended fantasy to say that the brics will be out of the way but a lot of british bases seem to think that burrows johnson is the person to to get it clear way forward and we've been i've been to the north of england and we talk to voters and politicians this is where the labor party had their traditional strongholds and we wanted to see how labor and how the conservatives are fearing in the north of england so let's have a look at that. the town of bishop oakland used to be a train building hard today the factory orders in which carriages were once fields are empty. the unemployment rate is above the british average and

a key majority of the population voted in favor of leaving the e.u. . bishop oakland was once a bustling market town with a striving night life now there is a sense that towns like these former mining and manufacturing communities in the north of england have been forgotten and people want that to change a large number of shops on the high street have closed down there is money available for urban redevelopment but many feel it has been put to wrong use they blame the labor party which has been the dominant party in the area for almost 100 years. and have anyone here greece with. the referendum you. can shift it and can i ask you you know me most conservative know my own plans because i don't trust the labor party i don't like jimmy coughlan and i think in general politicians have been the right british boxing fans to labor strategy to

draw attention to the conservative party's policies that they say are to blame for the city's lack of money. this is not about brakes it's only it's about the policies of the past we've lost a quarter 1000000000 pounds from our county council through austerity through tory cuts d.n.r. davis and this the conservative party candidate. from time to move her message that labor has not done enough for the area and must finally be implemented so that other things can be dealt with again. obviously people are worried about. commitments like here on the ground it's about stuff today and the biggest issue we have is on our local health care. as an evening event in a pub hardly anyone says they will vote for labor even if they have done so in the past yes they all want to leave the e.u. and believe that only a tory government will deliver that to the north if england has always been for the

way. where the conservative party were always for the rich a paper to the more affluent paper and with breakfast i genuinely think there's been a huge shift in people i do strongly believe the conservative party is going to win. people of almost all agree they voted for bread and now they want their voices heard too long they have gnawed by petitions in london. and syria was very striking we really try to find people that are backing labor but it was very very difficult with nobody wanted to say on camera that they going to vote labor and even in private conversations a lot of people really express their dismay of the current state of the labor party and it really goes to show that traditional education says at least in the north of

england changing it was also striking back at the share both conservative and labor voices in your report say that this election isn't just about drugs and what else is it about. well particularly the labor party is trying to shift attention to public services to domestic policies they and seeing the really quite dramatic investments in things like a green new deal they also try and shift the emphasis on the health service and we know from opinion polls that brags that and the health service are the 2 main subject that voters are interested in at the moment labor party is saying if britain leaves the european union we can already see that this government boris johnson is in touch with the us and that the us pharma and us health care services will take over and will supply the services and on the cuts our an h.s.a. this is something that they know that very many voters don't want so there is

a point of contention here and that will become sharper in the next 2 weeks until the elections i'm sure. reporting for us from london thank you. let's check in now and some other stories making news around the world turkey says 2 of its troops have been killed in a mortar attack in the town of the border with syria the mortar round was reportedly fired from syria near areas that turkey and its syrian ally seized last month turkey says its forces retaliated and the united nations says armed groups in eastern congo have killed 3 health workers responding to the ebola outbreak that element fuels fears that a waning outbreak of the deadly virus in the country could gain renewed momentum. the european parliament is expected to declare a climate emergency within the next few hours the parliament hopes the declaration will send a powerful signal to the u.n. climate summit which starts in madrid next week lawmakers also want to put pressure

on the incoming executive to take a leading role in the global fight against climate change. from unprecedented forest fires in australia to deadly floods in europe and africa this month has once again seen extreme weather events as the world prepares for the un climate summit in madrid the european parliament is expected to declare a climate emergency but what difference will it make we can't declare climate emergencies but the people on the streets are not asking us for declarations they are asking us for actions. the message from the streets is clear enough fridays for a future initiated by swedish teenager grettir to merck has brought thousands of young people onto the streets all over the world pressuring politicians to take action european lawmakers admit the declaration is only symbolic but they pledge to

follow up with policy measures to tackle the crisis. a number of nations have already declared a climate emergency such as ireland france canada and the u.k. along with many cities and regions all have led to new legislation but activists say more radical measures are needed to revolutionize transportation phase out fossil fuels fast and switch to renewable energy. the new e.u. executive and incoming commission president also to fund a line says addressing climate change will be a top priority she wants the e.u. usenet carbon emissions brought down to 0 by 2050 by declaring a climate emergency law makers would be agreeing with protestors on the street that's the easy part taking the kind of action needed to save the planet while minimizing job losses and damage to the economy is another matter. well ahead of

the vote our brussels bureau chief of month spoke to a member of the european parliament. of the green party. what's the sense in declaring a climate emergency. well to me it's a beautiful political just equalisation you know all house come on home has been on fire for the last decade so no some people suddenly realize it and they want to say oh gosh something is happening so yes we can do it but what counts for us is that we see the star doing something about it the scientists are basically telling us that we wasted the last decade in terms of climate action which means that now the measures that we need to take are much more stringent instead of political will to do that it's very nice to have a declaration on the climate emergency but if actions he's not following this is just hot air and when we have enough of hot air at the moment do you see any indication that this will be more than just hot air so far yes and no yes in defense situation well sort of underlying new president of the commission from the

european people's party now saying that we have a major problem there and that's a progress because remember a predecessor he basically never climate never registered with him as a as a real emergency so that's progress that's progress but now we have to see whether also not from the lion as a majority to enact the paradigm shift that we need to to see you know production system you know consumption system basically nor economic system to make it happen what's your feeling does she have is there a majority for that because people always say we want to do something about climate change but i don't want to pay for it exactly and this is where i'm saying that probably with all the green she doesn't have a majority because of the hardcore resistance against climate action he's within the ranks of the official majority here within the ranks of european peoples party conservatives liberals and socialist and and look at germany i mean the 100 comma s. come out against the green new deal even before the green new deal was put on the table

and that shows that basically those who usually support the console the diesel don't want to go that way so the road will be hard to convince them so declaring time into an emergency is all fine by me but if it remains a pure declaration it is just wasted energy mr thomas thank you very much as always . now rescue teams in albania are in a race against time to find survivors of tuesday's earthquake the death toll has risen to 40 making the quake one about then yes deadliest ever powerful aftershocks are complicating the search and forcing nervous residents to sleep outdoors crews have flown in from across europe to help with search efforts. sniffer dogs from a crime and rescue teams scour the remains of a collapsed building. a girl is still missing in the rubble. house on the street people who have lost their homes wait for help the coastal city

of duras is one of the areas hardest hit by the quake 27 buildings here have been destroyed killing at least 12 people. after the main quake on tuesday morning juárez was shaken by several strong aftershocks. fearing the earth may shake again many residents are scared to stay indoors sama spending the night in their cars. under canvas hundreds of people have sought shelter in a camp a steely set up at the local football stadium. as the 2nd night the spending here. it was good because with us here why should i go home i'm afraid i went back just to take my medication a new shaking began and i've run out i'm scared why should i go back with a member of course. we are terrified. it was something we did not expect we were all asleep and everything started to shake. like

this one it was night. tonight we're staying out with the baby. while aid workers 100 food and drink to the evacuees the search for survivors continues a team of italian firefighters to send cameras down into a wrecked building to look for the missing. 2 days after the main earthquake struck the chances of finding anyone alive are getting slimmer. now resistance to antibiotics poses a major threat to human health killing tens of thousands of people worldwide every year but there is hope scientists say these a class of powerful tiny viruses called bacterial sages might be able to reverse a trend bacteria phages are actually plentiful in the environment they kill off bacteria by puncturing the outside of

a bacterial cell getting inside and making it explode the viruses have long been cultivated in eastern europe as an alternative to antibiotics you can buy bacteria phages cocktails and pharmacies in some countries like georgia in the caucasus elsewhere belgium has also started to offer treatment with phasers but it is not widely available in the e.u. it means that some patients have to go abroad to get a hold of the medicine. tan you did have a cannot remember when she was last pain free antibiotics stopped working against her skin disease which she contract at 30 years ago so she found a different treatment bacteriophages but because they're only allowed in special cases in the netherlands she had to travel to tbilisi georgia and spent thousands of euros of her savings to buy them and i started going to georgia i was extremely nervous but also i was very exciting and also very disappointed in the treatment in holland because holland does not allow the phage years so i had to go

all the way to georgia only for this page is to get there are many different types of bacteria phages viruses which target a specific type of bacteria tan you drinks 2 different ones each day and also put on a cream it's difficult for people to go to georgia also it's very expensive to go in there and to have the treatment how much did you pay for your therapy. treatment in georgia was pretty 1900 euros i paid when i need new features when they go to send me new ones i must pay 500 euros. to get new faces for 3 months. so it's a lot of money in neighboring belgium researchers john paul pinay created a legal model for prescribing features for patients. jim we had some critical mass of people interested and searched her on different levels you had to research local

health. authorities also in hospitals. i think the. belgian solution. it's slowly spreading i think other countries sort of getting interested in support belgium is the only western european country where features are easily prescribed to patients panny says that lives have been saved with the feed his need in his lab i think the 3rd turpie is getting more and more important because. thinks or more and more fearing. people are actually dying because their infection can be treated with antibiotics pages are more expensive to create than antibiotics but penny thinks they will be a useful therapy for the future 10 years hoping that the rest of europe will open itself up to fate stare a-p. soon and for more on the story we can speak as much as show he's

a professor at the institute of food nutrition and health and cyrix switzerland someone thanks for joining us how effective can fade therapy really be is there enough evidence to back this up every morning you add up the evidence that's is there definitely from case studies or a lot of them but what we are still missing particularly even in western europe are actually randomized clinical trials that prove therapeutic if it gets you a cheap and what are the risks involved. so. there are some clinical safety studies that have been done with fay just none of which have shown any adverse effects in theory there are a couple of risks we can think of such as features that in their d.n.a. encode toxics in sequences or have the ability to move chalk talk sequences from one organism to another. through d.n.a. sequencing we can actually exclude those features and it is also important to

remember that in your daily life when you just drink water you basically ingest around 10 to 100000000 phage particles in every milliliter of water and they do not make you sick so there's good reason to assume that features generally are not a big risk to our health are you hopeful that bacteria phages ultimately could be a solution to antibiotic resistance. i think the faces will play a role in managing the end of micro resistance prices i do not think they're going to be the only solution to it because obviously there are some restrictions in their application and they're also more expensive to produce to cost them tailored to each patient and so on which always is a big disadvantage. compared to antibiotics which are cheap and easily produced and have a prospect of activity and i understand it most of them only target one type of bacteria and you're working to solve that how is that. yes always the.

there is one of their key advantages faces are so specific so you can actually. like a sniper of basically remove only those box that cost of the z's this is a big advantage but on the same time this could also be a limitation because it's quite difficult for us to find pages that within this particular type of bacterium will actually kill all of the strains that you find clinics so we have to we often see as cocktails or we have to. genetically engineer faces in a way that they can borrow talk of the features we're interested in but you're interested in aren't very interesting sam a professor at the institute of food nutrition and health in zurich thank you thank you very much. now it could only happen in france a cull unary court battle has begun after a renowned chef lost a coveted michelin star over allegations that he used the wrong cheese in
