the, the, this is dw use minds from bell in the world health organization sounds vietnam over an outbreak of end pucks in africa. this case is search the w h o declare is a global health emergency. the outbreak is being fueled by you more easily transmissible. there in germany, 6, the rest of the ukrainian man over the sabotage at the north spring gas pipelines 2 years ago. investigate his believe he was one of the divers who helped blow up the main supply line of russian gas to germany and talks to enter the 10 months warren guns stole the day before they do this task. how much refuses to take part saying it's losing faith with us mediators or the palestinian militant group says

it will await an offer from east by the bank visible and welcome the world health organization has declared a global public health emergency following an outbreak of the impulse virus in africa, the w h o had been monitoring a searching cases in the congo, the new variant and spread to the roommate. can you ever want to add uganda impacts and can be passed on through close contacts causes flu like symptoms and lesions on the bottom. the head of the w h o says the load is necessary to save lights. today, the forest slip, but more importantly, in this scenario, the thinking of the global outbreak of and fox that occurred in 2022. and

what we saw then was monkey pox virus or now what we call m fox spreading in a way that we've never seen it spread before in spreading in new places where it is not been previously spreading. we're seeing a similar phenomenon, but this is a very different, this is the other played or the other strain of and fox. and we're seeking a similar phenomenon here. we're seeing it spread in an unprecedented ways. and so that's why the, the w h o committee has advised the director general to call a public health emergency. and similarly, the african cdc has called an emergency, a regional concern. and i believe children amongst the fact that is that correct? so what precautions should people be taking? correct. what we seen in the democratic republic of congo is that we've seen a steady increase over the last many years of and fox. some of this was anticipated

as we continue to see reduction. you add any kind of protective immunity against a fox viruses, just smallpox vaccine. but this was much greater than what would have been anticipated. but in addition to that, we are also seeing sexual transmission in a variety of, of, of communities and both and sexual and gender minorities also in, in, in people who are are selling facts as well. so. so we, we, we're seeing this spread in different ways. so it's almost like there are 2 different outbreaks that are occurring at the same time, but, but by and large, what we're seeing is m fox spreading in a way that has not been seen previously. well, um, how would this global a load from the w h o actually help fight off the disease in some way?

this, this is actually a very important moment and really john streets that we've learned a lot from previous outbreaks or previous uh, situations you know, in the past maybe reacted a little more slowly when we see something happening in remote rural areas in africa. but i think what we've learned here is that an infection anywhere is potentially an infection everywhere. and what's happening in rural areas of africa can very easily come to our doorsteps, anywhere in the world. and so being able to stop this at its source. as soon as possible, it's critically important and this public health emergency will do many things. it will unlock funding that is not has not been available to really support surveillance. uh, better testing opportunities more uh, more efforts towards public health. but it's also going to help coordinate getting vaccines and therapy units to these areas that have not had these tools to be able

to combat and fox big previously. and just briefly, you mentioned this is an important moment. what are the chances of this being cut off from spreading even further than it has already sprayed as well, you know, it's going to be very important to be able to track it. and obviously when we're talking about a virus like monkey pox, a, you know, it is something that spreads through sex with sexual networks very easily. and we saw that with the global outbreak in 2022. this various. there are a lot of questions around it. traditionally, we thought this is very, and that might be a create more severe disease, might be responsible for, for more dest. we still need to study it to truly understand it, but it is possible that it could be a more serious variant. and so what we need to know is that we're dealing with a situation similar to what we saw in in 2022. we can get in front of it. we're

good information with the tools that we have available. and there's not a moment too soon. fantastic. there's some good news in that from and we're going from the u. c. l, a fielding school of public health. thank you. thanks for having me. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news from around the world. french 55 is a helping the greek counterparts tackled wildfires with vehicles being shipped there from the easily the deadly places have displaced thousands of people in coast extensive damage. climate change may have played a part that could explain a lack of equipment and planning for the crisis. thailand, the constitutional court has ruled that prime minister for todd tablets in be removed from office. he was accused of violating ethics for soccer, pointing a cabinet minister would spend the time in jail stretch. i says he accepts the

who planted the explosive devices published prosecutors have confirmed they've received the drum and arrest board for explosions were registered on the pipelines under the baltic sea and september 2022 months after the start of rushes, full scale invasion of ukraine, the lines were built to bring russian gas into europe via germany, but once in operation at the time as as a political correspond, anita has told us more about the suspect we're talking about the ukranian man whose name is given to us as load them. is that only, according to german privacy rules, we don't get the last name and whose last address was in poland. so german investigators believes that he was one of the divers appliances explosive devices on the note stream pipelines that arrest warrant has not been executed. so father, because he said to have already left poland for ukraine because and i quote, the polish authorities gemini, failed to include his name and

a database of wanted pass. and we're also hearing that german investigators have also identified 2 more ukrainians. but there are a no, and there is no arrest floor. and so these people. yeah. and i, we, oh remember the reports that 2 years ago that was a gem and yacht that was sailing in that area. the german, your named and drummond, and it is well plausible say those media reports now that those people have been actually dived and, and planted those explosives on those pipelines. it's very important to note in this context though, that none of this has been confirmed by the german prosecutors sofa. and we have the information from the post authorities, but not from the german ones. they've declined to comment using the eyes of the ukraine says its troops of advanced further into a russian territory of the 2 kilometers into the cost regions, and certainly on tuesday. you can't even present. a lot of mr. lensky says his

they'll be some sort of break for this time. and the only reason to think that a breakthrough might happen is the joint, the letter that was issued by the 3 mediators, president bygone president, the ceasing from egypt and the i'm your from cut out is still 30 in the seeing what determine they made. what can be read as an ultimatum? and they said that they would put bridging proposals on the table in more than 10 months of war. we haven't yet seen. the mediators play such a pro active role. the is really response is that the heads of the negotiating team are going to go. huh. if that's the most out, the head of the action that these are the internal security and the representative of these really army. and they spent most of the day today with private, historic and you know, going over their instructions, perhaps there are limitations from us is not attending because from us and because we don't sit together. but the from us leadership is endorsed and they are communicating regularly with the,
