taking a condom but at the same time for example woman may not be able to pass their hospital or their partner to that he is taking a condom so these are all factors in individual might want to have another prevention methods and for those individuals the pre-exposure prophylaxis as an individual lies chemotherapy against hiv infection is a really powerful to think so much of this talk right now you continue talking just a moment unprotected sex is the most common way for the virus to be transmitted from person to person for a long time there were only 2 ways to protect yourself from being infected abstinence. and condoms but today there is prep the pre exposure prophylaxis dr streak just explained how it works prep is made to help reduce the virus will white. new york has set itself the goal of drastically reducing the number of

fresh hiv infections on truvada tablets have proven to be an effective. david jacobs has been taking truvada every morning for 3 years the medication protects him against h. i.v. infection the tablets have been available in the us as an aids prophylactic since 2012 and they're covered by health insurance studies say it offers 99 percent immunity against h i v. put away with using when i was using condoms it always felt like my status was dependent on somebody else it is a really important part of my daily routine starting the day cleaning like i'm in control i have agency i'm not going to be hiv positive today. truvada was originally developed to treat hiv infections if the medication is taken as a preventive measure it's known as prep short for pre-exposure prophylaxis. is

part of new york sandy aid strategy it's been responsible for a complete reversal in the number of new infections. how would grossman as a doctor and activist who also takes prep if everybody who is at risk of infection goes on perhaps and everybody who is a tiny positive gets treatment and access to treatment and effective treatment then in one generation this epidemic ends without a back c without a cure without anything else and this is the 1st time that we've ever been able to say that. really as a prep user daemon jacobs has to have a blood test every 3 months the medication has no side effects for most people but those with kidney disorders or osteoporosis aren't allowed to take it since prep was introduced in 2012 the number of users has risen by 500 percent and infection

rates are falling damon jacobs has set up a website to publicize truvada more widely. i spoke to a friend of mine about prep and he was like i wish you would have told me that i'm already positive that broke my heart so that is when i started a facebook group devoted to prep. there's also some drastically needed change afoot in new york's bronx district n.h.i. the hot spot homosexuality is still a to blue subject amongst many communities certain health centers offer anonymous hiv tests like nonprofit organization health hiv primarily infects young people aged 13 to 21 health targets it's a message to high risk groups like homeless people sex workers drug addicts and the partners of people with hiv it's workshops teach these young people about h i v prophylaxis. i think one of the biggest stigma is about. the

people have is that it's marketed as a gauge of but it's something that can be used for everyone all types of identity you know sexual. whom health young clients talk about why people don't use condoms they like going to parties having fun and then situations happen they don't we know about some people through the sensation. or say somebody and you can feel ok because. he doesn't want to believe he. would do it. proponents claim that people who don't use condoms wouldn't take the tablet consistently either health says that's just prejudice it's people like you who continue to create stigma and the fact that people can always come out because of their sexual identity or come out to their families about wanting to take a medication such as prep it's the fear that your instilling in them the latest studies do indeed show that people take prep reliably even though no more than 25

percent of young people in the us use condoms. instead of trying to force people to do something they're not going to do and shame them in that process what prep allows us to do is to meet people where they're. us aids activists fought for a long time to get prepped licensed on marketed their commitment to save countless people from an h.i.v. infection. in many countries the situation for the patients is very depressing there's hardly any counseling and not enough medication and those who are affected stigmatized and criminalized like in russia where the disease is has stopped and those who stand up for their rights can get into trouble the situation is especially dramatic for infected children. the day begins at 7 am at the children's home in the russian city of chelyabinsk.

everyone knows what to do. the same the same dosage and even. 40 boys and girls between the ages of 4 and 17 live here the ones who are hiv positive. the ones who were negative me go seeking. the hiv positive kids lived in a separate area. the safe is how coverings you could wipe down there were no carpets. the dishes were soaked in the basin was full of disinfectant though but it was very difficult to create a welcoming environment for these children who were stitching it took 6 years

before almost off came to accept and respect them. much. these days. and that is all play and live together in this unique children's home. they're all growing up without pads. they know that they're not at risk of being infected by the hiv positive kids even if one of them has an injury. the youngest are always supervised by a caregiver. the older ones know that the hiv virus is fragile and immediately dies when it comes into contact with their hue. my friend sleeps in my room. hiv positive one day before i knew about it he said i have to tell you something i made hiv positive shocking i thought at 1st i was scared but then he explained how you get infected since then everything has been

fine i treat him just like anybody else. the 1st of the plough seeking have hiv positive parents many of whom are alcoholics or drug addicts and no longer have custody of their children some of them aren't even aware that their children are here that the kids are well cared for and in a safe place they learn early on how to live responsibly and calmly with their infection they cope better than some adults. about the one time my little ones were to summer camp on the 1st evening while they were having a bath the come direct to poke his head around the door hesitantly and peered at the children they might have for years or 2 had. on another occasion a colleague asked me your you know what should i do they fought to support you with hiv i said lock him in the cellar she was confused what do you think i said just

let him play with the other group. in the evening the children follow the same familiar routine as always the same meds the same dosage day in day out. quite a few of the kids here have learning disabilities because of their mothers substance abuse before or during pregnancy. that will make life even tougher for them compounding the social stigma that can still attached to those who are hiv positive . all the more important for them for them to be able to grow up with people who accept them as they are and give them the cat they need. let's move to the case when somebody is in fixed it there are currently drugs that keep the virus in check how effective are those drugs so those are extremely

effective so most of them do not make any side effects individuals can have a completely normal life on top of that and you're getting treated very early in infection and take polls regularly every day you will have a normal life expectancy like an individual with hiv negative so you cannot in fact another person anymore and you have a normal life expect. that's why. research is trying to develop a new kind of medication if the current medication is working so well well one problem with the current medication is that you're have to take a pill every day until the end of your life so people are constantly reminded of being age should be a positive the new development is to try to have like for example an injection every 6 to 8 weeks that is sufficient to treat hiv infection and even in the future of your thinking about having a that you only have to take once a month or even half an implant in your that is sufficient to treat

a shabby infection and that needs to be exchanged once a year thank you so much for this interesting talks. that's it for today i'm looking forward to seeing you next week i'm out.

this is fragile and it's finally being upset by the pandemic. migrant workers not only do they use their wages to support their families by. also supporting the local economies of their home country move to new ideas to help ensure that their families are combining for in the future

neither shows any signs of backing down plus. nasa is poised to make history today when its mars helicopter attempts to feed 1st controlled flight on another planet. yes welcome to the program we begin with huge news in european football 12 top clubs from spain italy and england have announced the formation of a breakaway super league the new midweek competition will be independent of european football's governing body you a for the super league is expected to be lucrative and include europe's top moneymaking teams including manchester united ac milan and around madrid as well as the 12 founding flubs another 3 are expected to join before the 1st season which

according to a statement will start as soon as practicable and your wife has threatened to sanction clubs to take part in the breakaway league they released a statement saying the club's concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition at domestic european or world level their players could be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams so clearly a potentially huge consequences for breakaway clubs now earlier i spoke to rob paris he's a global sports correspondent for the associated press and i asked him how much of an earthquake this is for european football. we've had threats of leagues in the past from clubs but never has it come to this point with an actual announcement that they're walking away. leaving the existing structures and it's happened so quickly because on friday you wake up believe it had approval from the likes of you

ventus in particular who's boss and ran yet he runs the european club association all a new for the champions league 2024 but over the weekend it quickly emerged 2 u.e. for that something was a fault and as we've seen now the 12 rival teams have announced that they will be the founding members of this new super league and they have 3 more founders to join venture 20 team competition and they really want to start as soon as practically possible right when you've mentioned 12 rebel teams there you've called them that there are some noticeable absences from the super league at for now at least at like german football clubs why is that route. yeah no german clubs know french clubs as well and the question is why if they decided to stay away was it failing a backlash from the fans you know some clubs might feel they had to sign up so they didn't miss out on what could be a potentially transformative lucrative moment but not having those german clubs not

having by and in particular that when they are the right wing european champions does deal a blow to these new super league plans and they might just scoping out the landscape in terms of not saying anything but waiting to see is this something that becomes an actual viable plan thus far more than a threat but something that would become the new main competition within european football what they all know is that your wife on sunday issued a statement that day threats in any clubs with not being banned from so i say that european championship that players but also nobody else play in that domestic competitions as well so you would be able to play in tandem with the bonus league and the champions league as the things that now favor also threatened players that play in part in a safely would be prevented from playing in a world cup as well yeah i mean it's incredibly strong statement for sure but i mean from what you're just saying there what would it mean for say championships

like the champions league or or at the europa league as well. well you wafers already signed television contracts for 2021 the billions of euros that they generate from the champions league and it is completely up and their plans for the competitions they sold just because it's very hard to imagine as things stand now that if they did carry out their threat to launch this super league that they could start next season in the existing structures while the way to get there is off the ground is something that has to come to head very quickly and of course you cope teams who are in the semifinals 'd of the cup european competitions coming up you know the fact that you've got grammar driv playing chelsea 2 of the rebel teams who signed up all playing one of those semifinals rob say there is going to be plenty more news coming from this in the next few hours for sure global sports

correspondent for the associated press thanks for joining us good to speak. and we'll have more football in the form of bundesliga highlights later in the program but moving on and here in germany the race to succeed. chance there is heating up and no party seems to be struggling more to find a candidate to stand than her own the governing c.d.u. c.s.u. alliance had planned to announce a candidate over the weekend but the standoff is between the various premier marcos and the premier of germany's largest state of north rhine-westphalia mean shit he's also the president of the christian democratic union russia is supported by party leadership but of the smaller sister party c.s.u. is a lot more popular among voters and being the biggest party in the conservative coalition it's traditionally the c d u who nominates the candidate to spearhead the joint campaign i'm going to medical

hasn't publicly endorsed either off the. big. well the self-imposed deadline has expired and there's still no decision so what happens next now earlier we put that question to. still be used chief political editor that's the big question we meet one of these 2 men to do is to get an idea of say the next sounds accounted for the supposed to be ordinary one would think ok why don't you just have a well to dish knee. caps it's chosen by the upper echelons of the posse backing. you policy is that now the smaller variances the posse the c.s.u. is adamant that model citizen because he is so much stronger in those opinion polls both when you asked the general public but also see you conservative follow is he's seen as the man who could deliver the more votes at the ballot box and that is key

argument so we're hearing that individual group. germany's federal states of the seed you have gathering this evening in berlin they've already come out in favor of marco's and that is to was well could be a potential so down on tuesday if the parliamentary group in the end gets to decide this very question something certainly on an asset the posse previously has been backed by and that marco wants to avoid it. well that is take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. egyptian authorities say at least 11 people were killed and nearly $100.00 injured when a passenger train derailed north of cairo 4 carriages run off the railway in the city of the train was traveling to the nile delta city of months or a from the egyptian capital. the united states has warned russia there will be

but braman has mellowed russets brought them back to reality less than a quarter of an hour in a stunning pause for a much bigger star and set the winger up for only his 2nd of the season i often merely leaving in the summer rush has enjoyed an injury blighted campaign but is finding his form in the running he's now schooled on back to back stage. however you don't want rallied to just before the hawkeye. gio raina smashed into the bell turf to level the schools that do. which of his teammates into action. captain mark who boyce cleverly won a penalty just minutes later on hold and was on hand to score from the shots to make it to warm the toilets and turned. then hole and had a healthy portion of luck topping in the back post for his 21st goal in 23 appearances

the hosts had hit 3 in one minutes to take a comfortable lead into have taught him after that early scare. after the break the 2 sides traded chances before dortmund finally added a 4th goal 3 minutes from time. martz holes with a towering header which try as they might bring in shouldn't clear off the line very full to their 5th consecutive loss meaning they're still not quite safe from relegation while can continue to dream of qualifying for next season's champions league let's take a look at the table with just 5 games left in the season leipzig straw lived byron to stretch their need to 7 points and dortmund to shorten the gap on frankfurt in the race for champions league qualification at the bottom shelf are all but relegated after another heavy defeat and clung on likewise running out of games to climb out of the drop zone. well nasa is gearing up for the 1st flight of its mars

exploration helicopter ingenuity on monday morning it was originally scheduled to fly last sunday but the attempt was delayed due to potential technical problems if the flight goes ahead data from the trip will be beamed to earth a few hours later. it looks so effortless but getting here cost tens of millions of dollars and years of blood sweat and tears 5 years to be exact before the small robotic rotorcraft ingenuity was ready for takeoff to prepare for flight on mars scientists had to recreate the red planet's unique atmosphere conditions on earth. and weighing in at just under 2 kilos and standing just half a meter tall the pint sized helicopter underwent extensive testing. despite being a miracle of modern engineering ingenuity couldn't have made it to mars on its own

instead it had to hitch a ride on the perseverance rover tucked away inside the vehicle. once safely arrived on the red planet ingenuities next challenge was to stretch its legs and get ready for its new life on mars on april 4th the transmitted images of its tiny travel companion still standing after its 1st freezing night on mars with temperatures dipping below 90 degrees celsius. serving as a communications base the perseverance rover will pass on instructions from earth to ingenuity. only then can the tiny chopper begin its 1st test flight on a planet where gravity is everything feels about 3 times longer than on earth and the 1st 31 days ingenuity plans to make 5 autonomous flights after each trip it will transmit the data that's collected to the perseverance rover which beams it

back to earth and mere hours scientists ingenuity will mark the beginning of a new chapter in mars exploration as it can go can't and see things invisible to space probes on. mars which is especially interesting if you want to set up a base there and of the caves are deep enough it may mean the air pressure is higher which in turn means the caves might be able to. water. scientists hope that in the near future ingenuity successor's a step further and explore these mysterious capes or other hard to reach areas such as mountains or canyons. thanks to ingenuity we're closer than ever to our marking new and exciting secrets of our mysterious planetary neighbor.
