the, the, this is dw, use life from valley in the world health organization sounds the alarm over an outbreak of impulse in africa as cases search the w h o to place a global health emergency. the bike is being fueled by and do more easily transmit civil barrier also coming up to us as for no, it's in limbo about the international space station. nasa says it's still deliberating on how to return them safely to us. up to the boeing spacecraft that paid them to the i assess malfunction and talks to enter the 10 month war and gaza stole the day before that use of stock. how much refuses to take part saying

it's losing faith with us? media uses the palestinian militant groups as it will await an offer from israel, the mundane 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 be monitoring a surgeon cases in congo. now the new variant has spread to barone. d, kenya, bewanda and uganda. and polk says searching across africa. and this is ground 0 by thousands of cases have been reported 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 the detection and dropping to spread off a new laid off impulse 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, of the plates of and books in other parts of africa is clear to that, to coordinate that international response is essential to stop this outbreaks. and save lives, formerly known as monkey pucks, and polk spreads through plays, contact including sex, closing flu like symptoms and painful, pos spilled 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 at spread beyond africa to order. we don't serve the 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 loc, the shut down with the help of vaccines and treatments in which countries. but very few of those that are available in africa and global health officials. hype, this new emergency declaration will kick stats and the international efforts to contain the disease. and ramon is a professor of epidemiology at the u. c. l, a. fielding school of public health. she told us how they slowed 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 reacting 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 is 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, a better testing opportunities more more efforts towards public health. but it's also going to help coordinate getting vaccines and barracuda, to these areas that have not had these tools to be able to combat and fox the previously. and just briefly you mentioned, this is an important moment. what are the chances of this being cut off from

spitting even further than it has already, spite 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 such support, special 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 the very end that might be a create more severe disease might be responsible for, for more desk. we still need to study it 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 the 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. all right, so these williams valuable molar only supposed to be on the i s s for 8 days, but the return has been delayed due to malfunctions on the boeing style. i know that both in the late nasa is debating whether the spacecraft is safe enough to bring them back or if they should wait until 2025 to come back on the ship from boeing, rival space it keeps telling editor of nasa wants to con, told me more about the 2 asteroids extended stay in space and what it'll mean for them. i do know a lot of astronaut, you actually know sunny williams very well. and it's pretty much easy to say that. um, if you tell the 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 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 they asked on to the space station. so that one didn't work, the other would be the wealth of space ex, uh, company has done marvelously, you know, done everything they're supposed to do. boeing, however, is, had a problem. there's time the spacecraft was launched and barely made it back to earth without it drew on board the 2nd time it did a little better. and then this time just as you got to the space station, some rather important stuff didn't work. so instead of a short visit, it's gonna be a prolonged wait. so take us through the rescue scenarios as

well as the rescue if they had to come home to let 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 hop here and what happens is this is the parts that comes back with the crew figure. this is the part where all 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 in plain, was 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 flights, which keeps going editor of nasa, what's dot com? let's take a look at some of the other stories making use around the world. tropical storm and

palestinian militant group. there's october 7 tara attack spots. the war said how much would still hear from negotiates. no matter what we expect to be told by the mediators, the israel has accepted what is being offered. and any meetings should be based on talking about implementation mechanisms and setting deadlines rather than negotiating something new to the otherwise less time. us find no reason to participate. we asked is why the peace activist and goals have gushing baskin. if there is any reason to think they'll be some sort of break through this time. or 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 year from cut out is to 30 and basing what determine and 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 head of the negotiating team are going to go. huh. that's they have 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 pregnancy stuff 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 in dover, and they are communicating regularly with the, from us leadership and gaza. and the guitar and egyptian mediators a coordinate and speak to the i'm us leadership. so this is 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 is finding things activist and all that gushing baskin.
