titled we have try to find out about it we are we are looking into the use of plaid extract we got some special variety from united states with a very high content of off the truck substance and we have tested since late february in anti-viral assayers we have seen some quite promising results are now getting ready to actually use extracts but also of pure substances in the test laboratory animals and if not all begin to start talking through the missions to prepare for human social trials and what pointed you in that direction what why would have all the plans and herbes out. you have a long history of looking at artemisinin a sort of interests not of a case of obviously but it is the most important and i'm a little drug use today and look at new production ways to have higher amounts available for africa and the other resorts to think of all its arguments then

there's something really cation that it can be used against we're infections but you know some people believe it can be used to prevent or even treat cancer and that is for the scientists like me interesting to explore so is there any danger do you think in people praising the one would as a therapy or even as a cure of a company 19 as we saw in they have been pulled. i think before using it widely it definitely has to be better understood and they need to be human clinical trials but show its efficacy the concern is currently artemis that it's the most powerful and i mail truck if it's it was widely without control you could actually lead to tour of the rights of. resistance against the strike from bible or a parasite and about would be moral helpful that's about sleight of ph all and many people are concerned and that's why i believe it would be really important to get a good human clinical data rather than i have

a confirms for you guys your activity and that hopefully will then lead but it would actually be an approved drug at some point ok so when are we likely to see the results of your research. the hope there will be throughout the fall of the cell studies in the next week we almost trials are up for approval and you hope to get into the animal it's about 2 weeks meet a month from now we would have a good data set but i think we've been half a 1st clean indication if it's really a chance to treat humans with that or very interesting i thank you for joining us. from the mets planck institute. actually kenya what a record 123 new coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the most recent 24 hour period like elsewhere in this pandemic the poor the homeless and suffering the most as if commodity reports from nairobi. every day at around 1

pm at least 14 men and boys gather here in kenya's capital nairobi all of them homeless including 19 year old grandson taking off and they're all here for lunch to leave a daily by a nonprofit working in the city called homeless of nairobi. despite a covert 1000 outbreak most of them have no masks and when lunch is over the hurdle for some banter before leaving in different directions in this reality social distancing and staying home and not realistic options. are more does not exist doesn't exist or doesn't exist so blah blah blah all those things a little bit with that and even if he comes and he's one of them and they die. the kids are used to people dying. to. death was the catalyst to brian's life on the streets he never met his father and when his mother died he left home on the back of

a cargo truck which brought him to the city since then this has been his life walking greeting and wishing. i asked him how if i told the covert 1000 pandemic has affected his life. with money tell me don't come near me. are you concerned about the virus and we are scared but we just press on that. brian is one out of an estimated 20000 people living on the streets in kenya. but each night the country's curfew comes into effect. the homeless seem to disappear if they retreat into these dark corners hidden from police officers m.p.'s. we meet a mother with her 6 month old baby when you see we doing god is the only one keeping us alive she says because even if we are afraid of the virus it's not like

we can stay indoors only as a libra nuber brian considers himself lucky to have a roof over his head the organization that provides lunch has rented 2 rooms in the slum for the boys. brian's in this corner and beyond me as he calls his group of friends from the streets take whatever spaces left. it's better than on the streets. when i was out there nothing to cover myself but. something. with no prospect of dinner the boys take the chance to show us the river where they wash. it said daring undertaking. somehow dad feels like it's always right around the corner here. it's no wonder that the next morning when we meet brian he's having a cocktail of blue and jet fuel for breakfast the blue keeps the hunger. and the

jet fuel keeps reality at bay. and so another day begins the last one ended walking. reaching. wishing. ok let's take a look at some of the other developments in the pandemic the number of worldwide coronavirus cases is top 5700000 according to johns hopkins university in the united states meanwhile the us itself the death toll has surpassed 100000 south korea is reinstating social distancing restrictions following a spike in infections the increase has been traced to warehouses supplying online shoppers but spain is to lift mandatory quarantine restrictions for tourists starting in july a people arriving from abroad presently required to self isolate for 2 weeks. now here in germany a diplomatic row with russia over

a 2015 hacking attack on the german parliament has escalated the foreign ministry has called in the russian ambassador to discuss possible sanctions in a statement in parliament 2 weeks ago a chance and i'm going to medical confirm that she too had been hacked by a russian spy of the early song mission absence of the and let me be honest it pains me i work hard every day to improve our relationship with russia the heart but then there's hard evidence that russian agents operate in this way and that creates a tension which i find hard to get out of my system by going to be a bit of a seeing that i strive for good relations with russia that's uncomfortable of men in a kind of sense when i mean. let's get more from political correspondent simon young welcome simon remind us of the background to these allegations here it was in april and may of 2015 that computer systems in the german parliament were hacked

the computers of many members of the parliament were infected with spy software including in the office of angle americal herself and there were suggestions at the time that this hack came from russia and now german prosecutors say that they got the evidence they have identified the ringleader behind this and indeed they've just issued a warrant for his arrest and so this was 5 years ago people going to look at this and think well why is this taking so long. yeah well this investigation has of course been ongoing and it's one thing to identify that a computer hack has taken place but i think it's probably much more difficult to identify particular members of a foreign intelligence agency and that is what prosecutors are now saying they've

named the ringleader they meet 3 by dean is name they say and they believe that he was a member at the time of the hack of the g.o.u. rush's intelligence agency and obviously it's quite difficult to put together the evidence they say they now have reliable evidence that that is the case and they're going after him so what is the russian ambassador been told. yet ambassador say again not shy of has been called in to have all this explained to say that they've identified this man and also i think to be told how concerned germany is about these attacks there was another attack in 2018 which some believe is also connected with russia germany is also worried about the killing of a georgian man in berlin last august which they also think russia was somehow behind so i think he's had all that explained to him germany is also going to use the european side cyber sanctions regime to pursue this case

and so where does that leave relations between germany and russia. well obviously they could be very strange in russia has strenuously denied that it's got anything to do with any of this but as we said bear angle americal herself has repeatedly mentioned her concerns over russia's behavior in a speech law just last night she said that russia has repeatedly offended against european values but she also said that constructive dialogue is the way forward relations are strained as well of course not least over the right actions of russia or in ukraine but germany thinks dialogue is important but also calling out by name when it thinks russia has transgressed as in this case thank you for that political correspondent simon young. a dispose signed in germany has been this legal be at leipsic host and has a better than a wednesday night in

a heated battle that had big implications for both clubs took another step toward survival life's a inch closer to qualifying for the champions league. heads were knocking early in this one. like 6 tyler adams and had his mob in platen hot collided going for the ball catch as platen hot looked to get the worst of it. but the defender stayed in the game long enough to curl a fantastic corner then found marco grew each. shot. through its time to his run perfectly to give him to an early lead less than 20 minutes later life seek return the favor christen kuku the bulls assist leader found lukas close to mine who headed home for the home side to level the score 11. after the break just after the hour mark marcel holliston burke's aggressiveness

hurt the home side the lights and defender picked up his 2nd yellow and was sent off down a man didn't stop live sick t.-mo vana to patrick schick who fired towards a goal he had to keep or yards time look to have stopped it but somehow the boss slipped from his grasp ruled an own goal take the 21 lead dance and were given a lifeline thanks to leipsic physicality in the 81st mini. here to newcomer christophe tick who served in minutes earlier converted from the spot to level the school to 2. i should have both i say to of course before the match i should with i mean good for you i am at the foot for the head at the moment and this is the most important today it's got to go. leipzig remain unbeaten since the restart and so does head to

berlin behind new head coach but the. premier league is to restart on the 17th of june according to british media reports after it was put on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic 20 clubs voted unanimously on wednesday to resume contacts training teams. group tackle unnecessary close contact should still be minimised the league also confirmed 4 more positive coronavirus cases from 3 different sides it's estimated that failure to be stopped the season could cost the league 835000000 euros. is reminded of top story china has come under fire for. imposing security legislation. in a joint statement the kingdom the united states australia and. the new legislation would cut freedoms of the chinese territory.
