the, the, this is dw use life from the, in the world health organization sounds. the alarm over an outbreak of inbox, in africa is case is search the w h o to class and global health emergency. the outbreak is being fueled by. and you boy, easily transmissible variant also coming up to us asteroids in limbo aboard the international space station. nasa says it's still deliberating on how to return them safely to us. after the boeing spacecraft carried them to the i assess malfunction and talks to end the 10 month war in gaza stole the day before that judas saw how much refuses to take pod saying it's losing

faith with you. with mediation is that the past and the military group says it will await an offer for me as well. the game is it will and welcome the world health organization has declared a global public health, the emergency following an outbreak of the impulse virus in africa. the w h o had been monitoring a surgeon cases in congo. now the new variant has sprayed to perone. can you ever wanda, as uganda and bulk says searching across africa? and this is ground 0 by thousands of cases hoping that posted in the democratic republic of congo. as a new outbreak grips the country,

it's already claimed at least $450.00 lives, most of them children. and it's showing no sign of slowing down. 7 the detection and drop you to spread off a new laid off and books in eastern and the odyssey. it's detection in neighboring countries that had not previously reported and books. and the potential for further spread within africa and beyond is very, warding united option to add that out, breaks of other plates, of and books in other parts of africa is cleared about. the coordinated international response is essential to stop this outbreaks and save lives. formerly known as monkey pokes and poke spreads to place contact, including 6 closing flu like symptoms and painful pests filled legions. but this new strain is proving more infectious and even more deadly next. but speed of the

growing outbreak in africa could just be the tip of the iceberg. we believe that it's already 8 weeks uh, for international sprayed down. of course. there is also the chance that'd be good . it spread beyond africa to auto redone sub to world. the world health organization last declared impulse and international health the mags and see in 2022 with cases in more than 70 countries that was locked. the shut down with the help of vaccines and treatments in which countries very few of those that are available in africa and global health officials. hype, this new emergency declaration will kicks dos and the international efforts to contain the disease and remaining is a professor of if he gave me all the g at the you see a le fielding school of public health. she told us how this alert by the w h o could help contain the outbreak. this is actually a very important moment and really demonstrates 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 you see something happening, you 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 as its source, as soon as possible, it's critically important is and this hotel emergency will do many things. you will unlock funding that is not has not been available to support surveillance, a better testing opportunities more and more efforts towards public health. but it's also going to help coordinate getting vaccines and therapy students to these areas that have not had these tools to be able to combat and fox previously. and,

and just frankly, you mentioned this is an important moment. what are the chances of this being cut off from spitting even further than it has already sprayed? 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, do you know if it is something that spreads through sex with sexual networks very easily. and we saw that was a global outbreak in 2022. this very it, there a lot of questions around it. traditionally we thought this is the very end that might be a create more severe disease might be responsible for, for more depth. we still need to study its 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 with 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 as nasa officials say they have until the end of the month to decide how to bring to american astronaut stuck on the international space station back to us. so they, to williams and barry wilma were only supposed to be on the i assess for 8 days, but their return has been delayed due to malfunctions on the boeing style lajna. both in the nasa was debating whether the spacecraft is safe enough to bring them back or if they should wait until 2025 to come back or to ship from boeing arrivals by 6 keeps counting editor of nasa watch dot com told me more about the 2 extra notes extended stay and space and what it will mean for them. i do know a lot of astronaut actually know sunny williams very well. and it's pretty much

easy to say that um, if you tell an astronaut that they do have to spend more time in outer space, they really don't get upset about that. they do have families at home and things that they are planning to do, but it's not an unpleasant thing to get more time in outer space. that said, this isn't the plan and that's causing a lot of things to get. so changed around a lot of embarrassment and lot of confusion. so what went wrong? well this, this spacecraft is one of 2 companies that were given the task of coming up with a commercial way to say the restaurants in the space station. so that one didn't work, the other would be the or the wealth of space ex, uh, company has done marvelously uh, you know, done everything they're supposed to do. blowing however, is had a problem. first on this phase crap was launched, it barely made it back to earth without a crew on board. the 2nd time it did a little better. and then this time, just as it got to the space station, some rather important stuff didn't work. so instead of a short visit,

it's going to be a prolonged wait. so take us through the rescue scenario as well as the rescue if they had to come home to like something horrible happen. and they had to come home tonight. they would get in that spacecraft and come home. it's an issue where the risk is. if you don't have to come home right away, then let's take a look at what's wrong. now here's a simple pop here, and what happens is this is the part that comes back with the crew figure. how does the park roll? the rocket engines are that didn't work. they want to make sure they understand what happened here before they come home. because when they come home, the spark plugs up into your atmosphere, you get look at it once it comes back. so they've been testing it and playing with it ever since. and they're getting closer to having a, you know, final decision. is it safe to use it or not? if it is, they come home, if not, well now they have to cert, rearranging space by going editor of nasa, watch dot com. let's take

a look at some of the other stories making news. this our act of a se, one of us last remaining primeval forest, is in danger as wildfire as bird and both made as old as national park authorities have deployed firefighters and military helicopters, 2 battles of blaze which broke out on sunday french find 5 who is helping the greek counterparts tackle while i'm flies with vehicles shipped from easily, but definitely places have displaced thousands of people and caused extensive damage. climate change may have played a part but could explain the lack of equipment and planning. polls of closed in parliamentary elections in the pacific nation of cure of us. the campaign was dominated by concerns about rising sea levels, high inflation and the countries relationship with china. in 2019 the small bond strategically important island nation broke diplomatic ties with type a,

the ceasing from egypt and the i'm your from cut out is to 30 in the seeing what determinant 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 uh, the head of the ocean, that is where the internal security and the representative of these really army. and they spend most of the day today with private, historic and you know, going over their instructions, perhaps there's limitations from us is not attending because from us and because we don't sit together. but the from us leadership is in the front and they are communicating regularly with the from us leadership and garza and the kids already and egyptian mediators a coordinate and speak to the i'm us leadership. so this is an important negotiation,

and we'll see how forceful the mediators will be. they all have carrots and sticks that they can bring to the table. and from what we hear from them, they are saying it's time for this war to end. and it's time to bring these really hostages home designing pace campaign at gushing, bask in that. finally, the mystery surrounding one of the ancient wonders of the world may have been solved. and you study has determined that the sent a piece of stonehenge was almost certainly broad hold away from the tip of scarlet as the 6 ton to me, hilda started as being at the heart of stone age for thousands of years until recently, it was thought to have come from mcquarry in wales, but it's enough for searches use laser analysis to match its j a political fingerprint with geological fingerprint rather to a sandstone deposit in scotland, 700 kilometers away. the studies alters, say they still don't know how it was brought all that way to southwest thing with
