d, w, we on fire made for mines with this is d w. news coming to you live from berlin, a historic heart implant and a medical 1st us surgeon successfully transplant

a genetically modified pig heart into a human patient. raising hopes that animal organs could ease a chronic shortage donor shorter than chronic donor shortage. also in the program causing stones president names a new government, but we'll a change at the top be enough to restore stability to the former soviet republic wrought by violent unrest. plus condemned for its failure to uphold human lives. the u. s. detention camp in one tournament is still open 20 years after taking in its 1st prisoners. we ask if it will ever be shut down. ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. in a medical 1st, us surgeons had successfully implanted a genetically modified pig heart into a human patient. the transplant took place last week,

57 year old man was too ill to be eligible for a human heart transplant, but he is said to be recovering well. so far, medical researchers hope such procedures could one day help ease the chronic shortage of human organ donations. this is the heart used to give dave bennett a new lease on life. in a 9 hour procedure surgeons transplanted the organ, taken from a one year old pig. it was gene edited, bred and killed for this purpose. following friday surgery, the 57 year old patient is breathing on his own while still connected to a hot lung machine. he simply didn't want to die, doesn't want to die. and he felt that if he had no opportunity and he was pretty well convinced by multiple doctors who had told him he had a fatal disease and he was unlikely to leave the hospital because of it. that as a background, as, as an alternative, he said to me 2 very important things that i want to die. and he said if i do,

maybe you'll learn something to help others. prior attempts at so called zeno transplantation, largely failed because patience bodies rapidly rejected the animal organ. most countries rely on an opt in system for donation requiring express prior consent to use the organs of dead people in the usa alone, around $6000.00 people die every year. waiting for kidneys, hots, or lungs. it is a game changer because a, you know, now not a v will have these organs are readily available if you had their technique of a genetically modifying. so if they're more cute tweaking, required for, for modifying the genes, we can review the, the, will be able to do that. and, you know, again, can, you know, customize basically the hard for, are the argon for the patient. the experimental procedure raises ethical and animal rights issues, and as far from being declared safe. but for now,

dave bennett's new pig heart is still beating cause extends president. cassim jermarta, chi of has said russian lead troops will leave the country within 10 days to chi of cold for foreign military support. last week after days and violent unrest. according to the interior ministry, almost 10000 people have been detained throughout the country with dozens of debts . government officials said that the chaos had been stabilizing and claimed that islamist militants were among the attackers of more on this, we're joined by journalist bruce pioneer, a central asia specialist with radio free europe is currently in prague. bruce, the causes president, says russian lead troops who are sent to help quell the unrest will leave the country in the coming days. has russia extended its influence in kazakhstan through this deployment? i don't think there's any doubt about that at all. you know,

the fact that they responded by sending in like get security organization. first time in the organization's 30 year history, it's actually sent troops to a member state is a strong sign of support for president. i have it on one that leads to kind of in debt to the kremlin. so is this uprising over or any more protests expected? well, there are still some small peaceful pro does, which are. so this all started, but generally the unrest is, is pretty much been snapped out and the situation is stabilized throughout the country at the moment. now the contacts prep, because the president has named a new prime minister. what can we expect from him? well, alejandro. my love, of course, was a finance minister and i was excited before and it shows seems to show that there's

going to be a focus on, on the economy and causes on it's always been one of the priorities in congress on any way that by far the rich country and central asia, and just as a side note is on the economic cooperation council, that's the body that implements decisions from the economic the ration economic union of which is a russian lead organization. and so that would also is josha closer to moscow. now nearly 10000 people have been arrested in connection with revolt in cars, extend the country's president, is calling it a coup attempt. did he present any evidence to support that claim? no, he has. and there's still a lot of doubts about exactly what happened. i mean, for trade that as being of the ag admit there was people protest at the start. but he said that it turned into unrest due to the presence of foreign trained or foreign militant because it's done the offer no of them at all for that. and in

fact, it seems to be the result, more of intro, leaf fighting, and our struggle with them the government bruce, thank you very much. that was bruce pioneer, a central asia specialist with radio free europe and radio liberty talking to us from proc sketch up. now, and some of the other headlines around the world, bilateral talks between russia and the us, ended with no breakthrough in geneva on monday discussions focused on d, escalating tensions over ukraine western countries or calling on russia to pull its troops back from the ukrainian border. moscow wants to guarantee from nato that the military alliance will not expand eastward score that the president of the european parliament, david such folly has died at the age of 65. is office said he passed away after a serious complication related to his immune system. italian center, left politician had been in hospital since december 26. the use climate monitoring

service says the last 7 years were the hottest ever recorded globally by a clear margin. last year the average temperature was more than one degrees celsius above pre industrial levels. scientists say greenhouse gas emissions have supercharged to wildfires, heat waves and flooding effecting every continent. 20 years ago to day, the 1st prisoners arrived in guantanamo bay. the detention camps set up by the us following the 911 attacks and the ensuing invasion of afghanistan in a clear breach of human rights. most prisoners were held indefinitely without trial t w's. oliver's salad reports now from the u. s. naval base of guantanamo and the camp that's come to symbolize one of the biggest u. s. moral failings in the so called war on terror. mm guantanamo, located in a tropical paradise. but the u. s. naval base in cuba stands for human rights

abuses and torture. mohammed to old slaw. he was held here for 14 years suspected of involvement in the $911.00 attacks, but never charged for a crime. he was brutally tortured and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder. until to day 34 nights ago i woke up and i was shaking. so skin because i so my, my jacket on the door and i saw it was someone coming to get in. and it took me a very long time. some time i wake up, i cannot breathe. defense counsel anthony natalie represents an alleged. okay, the terrorist who arrived here in 2006 and since then has been waiting for his trial. guantanamo has been seen internationally as a stain on american history. so where does that place here put the united states? we're ashamed that every thing that made this country one that we could say was a free country that had equal justice for all has abandoned all of that.

and that sat, it said, and i, i don't know how we're going to be able to recover what animal was built after the $911.00 attacks, as government aimed for a forceful and rapid response. united states went down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts. in the war on terror, america and its allies invaded afghanistan. the u. s. naval base at guantanamo bay, served as a prison for a ledge war criminals, and tara suspects a place where the constitution of the united states does not exist. ever since it was opened, human rights activists argue guantanamo is where the u. s. lost its moral authority, a place of torture and double standards. that is mostly of limits for a camera. but there's also another side of guantanamo a place where 6000 inhabitants try to go about their everyday lives. in

a bizarre contrast to the infamous prison residential areas resembled small town america some normalcy in a place. full of contradictions. radio get more, delivers the sound trick for guantanamo, and she is get most voice. hello, hello, welcome to your morning show with the day candles. otherwise one is petty, i'm say, an a lease for trials in the prison are not part of their coverage. a, it's not really part of like the culture here, you know, that's i another side of the base. here on this side we have a whole different type of operations going here. the new school allows its students somewhat of a normal childhood, 5 kilometers from the notorious torture prison. good. okay. what are some other things that you know about native that's actually the message that went, that always said the hood. well,

they said that have 2 kinds of people in these will. people who don't deserve a little bit of law. muslim young people and people who does a little over out of almost 800 former detainees. 39 are still incarcerated in guantanamo only to have been convicted of a crime was bringing andrea shula here. he is director of the international crimes and accountability program at the european council on constitutional and human rights. thanks for being with us. a social a tell us what you know about what's going on inside one honeymoon prison today. how many inmates are there and what are the conditions? you know, thank you very much for having me. i mean, today we still see 39 man in guantanamo imprison. still $27.00 with all the charge, even after 20 years. there are some trials going on, but they also still 13 people killed for release that should be set free

immediately, but waiting for their release already. in some cases for a couple of years. on the other hand, although the us ration just not that a new court room will be billed to hold trials in more secrecy, which point action to the fact that there is no real will also to close one time. but rather to keep it open and continue with with trial, let's suffer from the lack of evidence because the level of st under torture and can be used in any of those cases some day teen detainees. as we heard the report or are held in guantanamo without ever being charged with the crime. how does the united states justify doing that? well, that's right in the beginning to justify not only keeping people there outside the law in the u. s. territory, torturing them on the for that they try to find them illegal. amendment redefine

torture, basically which which is, which is the actually even more grave because it's going into the fundamental international as such. i mean, today it's really not possible anymore to just if i, where people are housed with our chops there. and i think the us is quite aware of that. but they still failing to take the consequences here, which basically would be to that people free am. if you can charge them and certain amount of time, or, or charge them and put them on trial so that they get the president brock obama wanted to shut down guantanamo, but he didn't succeed. how likely is it that present, joe biden will succeed in shutting down during his presidency?

i think they are for doing so. it's 20 years now and the opening a symbol of injustice. there, there are many, many reasons from all different angles. not only human right angles, a human turn, one also from taxpayer angle, basically. so the listener ration needs to do everything to shut it down to close that which is not easy in a u. s. system. but of course, if you have wants to they, they have all the means and ways to, to close and shut it down. so i think there's no simply not tentative, not doing so. this is sharla. thank you very much for talking with us. that was andrea sheila, from the european council unconstitutional and human rights in berlin. sketch up on some other stories making headlines. dame a fire in

a slum district near the northern chile and city of k has destroyed more than 100 homes fire cruise struggled to bring the blaze under control because there were no hydrants close to the densely packed illegal dwellings. at least 400 people were evacuated to a nearby school. us drug maker, pfizer and his partner biotech, are working on a back seen targeting the only cron variance of the grotto virus and expect to have it ready by march. the companies says it's already manufacturing doses due to keen interest from government. the highly contagious ami kron has driven up the number of new cases in many regions. thousands of protesters turned out across germany on monday evening to oppose the government's current of iris measures. the country has toughened to stance against the backs, unaided shutting them out of restaurants and public venues. protest against social

restrictions and vaccines have been held every monday for the last several weeks. while on the cron is spreading in israel, the country of over 9000000 people has seen infection rates skyrocket in the past week with prime minister natalie bennet warning that up to 4000000 people could be infected. the pass spreading barrier has prompted worries that the government is no longer on top of the pandemic. the w tonya kramer reports now from television. the line is long for a free coven, 19 anti gen test. at this official center in tennessee, with the army grown variance spreading fast, free p c. r tests are now reserved for people over 60 and other high risk groups. everybody else is required to take an anti gen test 1st with ever changing rules. patients is running low. basically the rules change on a daily basis. there is a joke that if you refresh the news on the news page,

then you get different restrictions and different rules, mostly more kid. it feels like a circus. if they cancel the pcr test, when they should let us do the outage and testing at home and send our kids back to school. now we have to stand here called work and just have to stay at home. being called moms amber light is well had made an early bet on its rapid vaccination campaign. in october it had successfully slowed down the delta wave by administering a 3rd booster shot. but now the country struggles with the army grown very and i were talking about very on that is spreading very fast then commission period is about 2 days, not 7 days as used to be. so this is why many of the epidemiological measures saw especially testing and breaking of transmission are much less efficient. are right now, much of is most coven strategy had been focused on vaccination. over 4300000

israelis have taken. the 3rd booster shot less than half of the population of roughly $9400000.00. since last week, the country has begun to roll out the 4th boost for people over 60 medical staff and other high risk groups. each time we boost we fortify our immune response. we deepen the immune memory and enhance our ability to cope more efficiently with the virus that already challenging us. and those that will and unfortunately will emerge. but it is still unclear how hospitals will cope during this 5th wave. and if you love hospital in tennessee, family dr. lauer a zullie takes us to the cove at 19 ward. not every bed is occupied right now, but numbers of severely ill patients are increasing daily. 2 2 and majority

are unvaccinated or have underlying health conditions, quote unquote, on, on a conversation with her at the moment some of our patients are vaccinated, some are not everyone hospitalized has underlying health conditions, hard kidney condition or diabetes. but again, the vaccinations are very important and very efficient. ah, i know how to showing them lim, after so many waves of this disease, there's a sense of experienced routine on this sort. and now newly authorized drugs can be given to patients early on. still after 2 years, it's not just hard for doctors and nurses to keep up. but for everyone struggling with a new uncertainty that's replicating along with this latest variant. and we can speak now with professor and not up davida d w nova. and we met in that report,

his director of the school of public health at the faculty of health sciences at ben curry and university, and also an advisor to these railey government. thanks for being with this. a professor. how worried are you about the current spike of infections and israel? we are indeed in unprecedented the times, although the only grown these are probably less severe from a clinical perspective on your job, waive the base of transmission and the combination of, of influenza that is very prevalent. now in israel, as in other countries, including severe cases, all these that create a huge pressure on the health care system. so we're going to face in the next few weeks, a very challenging times. we have a overwhelm the work is that we need to take care of them and the whole situation on demand that we are going to answer with the multi layer approach. of

course, we have actually thinking about vaccination going to influence a i'm, you know, only later those are not vaccinated. so we need to have also an economic support. and to support of course, the system as well, including the emotional aspects for those who are really under trauma, for after 2 years, the r a and then israel has started giving people their 4th coven job. you were talking about vaccinations or, or, or vaccines enough to stop the current wave and how effective is a 2nd booster against the only cranberry and oxidation are crucial, but not enough. we need to use wisely. testing system, for example, to see was a high risk and use that drugs are now available by the american. we need to have a personal responsibility of people using masks, are preventing a large,

a gathering. and of course, giving the economic support for those who are now and there is relation, so the approach is healthy, not policies. we can not just the relying vaccination, many, many other aspects. and then we need to prioritize because the wave is so widespread . so it's mainly about to those who are in high risk aids, are special programs, such as protecting those in the home care facilities. of course, protecting a health care workers in need of emergency workers. and this is the right approach. because vaccination are important, but they cannot solve all the different problems, especially now that we are in the middle of the practice. now, israel was seen as a leader in fighting, especially at the beginning of the pandemic. do you see it that way? now? there are many aspects that we need to. it's not just vaccination, it's the whole

a p. m a logical picture because we have a amazing game, a headphones that they're doing surveillance. so in terms of getting that logical, a picture in terms of a testing per capita, we excel in including also vaccination. the other things that unfortunately, i'm not a problem. the home school system. we could be much more prefer reducing number of children in class. ok. so i think it's a very mixed picture, and i don't think there is any country that these are perfect. what we really doing well is the community has a system that is preventing a many hospitalisation and this is the main reason why the death racial is lower than the most of the countries. ok profession. thank you very much. that was professor not dub dub dub, which director of the school of public health at the faculty health sciences have

been green university. now world number one tennis player in of act ciocca, which has returned to the court for training in australia after winning a legal battle to stay in play in the upcoming australian open. on monday, a judge in melbourne returned the cancellation of his visa over corona virus. rules releasing the unvaccinated player from immigration detention jock of it. his family and his supporters have celebrated the decision, but this isn't over yet. the government could still cancel his visa on different grounds and to port him. oh, they were so happy that their hero is free, for now. they mobbed any car, even if they couldn't be 100 percent. sure, novak joke of it was inside. outside his lawyers office, they celebrated into the night somewhere. pepper sprayed in the chaos. outside court to joke of bitches. supporters cheered the decision to overturn his visa being canceled. oh

go with you in the judge order joking, which is released from immigration detention. calling the australian government's decision unreasonable, he rolled that joke, which hadn't been given enough time to respond to that decision. the serbian had arrived in australia, believing he had a medical exemption to rules requiring a corona, virus vaccine. this it emerged was due to a december 16th cove 19 infection, but the australian government argued that exemption didn't apply to people entering the country from overseas. that contradicted what joke of which had been told by tennis australia the tournament organizers. i'm not gonna blame any one. the conflicting information and the contract information that you receive is because of

the changing environment. we are in a very challenging environment for everyone that's been involved in this process. ciocca bitch treated that he was pleased to and grateful with the decision after the court's ruling going on to say he's now focused on the tournament. but the saga is not over yet. the australian government can still cancel. joke bitches visa on the grounds of public health. for now though joke adventures family is thrilled with the rather atypical victory hold on for me, this is the biggest victory in his career. the bigger than all his grand slams. ever even if you're watching d. w. news of next forgot bonus league a highlight in kickoff. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching. ah ah
