or the, this is the, the news coming to life from berlin. world health organization sounds the alarm over an outbreak of impacts in africa. as cases of the deadly virus serves the w h, o declares, and global health emergency. the outbreak is being fueled by a new more easily transmissible barrier. also coming up talk saying that achieving a ceasefire and gaza are set to get underway in the hall. thomas is refusing to take part in saying it's losing faith in us media. the

hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. world health organization has declared a global public health emergency following an outbreak of a new strain of the m pox virus in africa. the virus formerly known as monkey pox can be passed on through close contact and causes flu like symptoms and lesions on the body and can be deadly. it's now been detected in at least 13 african countries, but one country has been hit particularly hard. the democratic republic of congo, impulse is searching across africa. and this is ground 0, 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 of the detection and drop you to spread off a new laid off em folks in eastern and the archie 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 clear that 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 sex causing 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 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 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. gillian tang is a buyer ologist at the university of lester in the u. k. i asked him to tell us more about the surgeon impacts cases and how this outbreak differs from the 12 years ago. the difference is really due to the different plates of strains, if you like, of this impulse fires the stream from 2 years ago. it was

a global strain and to try to which is the single best after constrain i pretty much milder and more limited in terms of clinical severity than the original kind. one virus. the one is now a spitting course, actually to is a branch of the, played one virus now to take on b. and this part, the originals frank strain from that the aussie democratic, the condo, this has a high mortality is most of the same in clay. as mate increasing, which has disability compared to the original, endemic played one a strain from the all c to talk to us more about this transmit ability because the, this impacts variance is now it's just new strain has spread to 13 countries. the outbreak of hundreds of people have died mainly children. why has this new variant been able to spread so quickly?

yeah, so that's a good question. i think we still looked into this but the original straight from the all see the claim. one a, the light that was limited in terms of the, it would any step beyond that, maybe 3 or 4 generations and then it would die out that it's often consummate from, i mean, more risk applause in the original and demi kerio. now it looks like the process adaptive best teaching to human transmission again. so if we saw a trip with 19, after even several years, but this was just being around and active in many, many, many more years. we've none of us ever 50 or 60 years. so i suspect that more cases, more human cases are alarm diversity. follow intrinsic more efficient with change humans. it cannot be so it could be 19 and the size clip to virus. how much of a difference do you think it'll make that the w h o is now declared the unbox outbreak to be a global public health emergency? oh, shouldn't make a great difference normally be stakes as we call them. p h e. i sees that tends to

be announced when you want to release more funding, more resources to those those particular epidemics or panoramic situations. and this should hopefully allow this release of funding and resources can this from countries of course they are already quite stream as resource limited in many other ways. should people outside of the effective regions be worried about their own health? could this virus end up spreading much further and if so, what precautions should people be taking a yes, of course, as we saw it 2 years ago, they tried to straighten spread globally along the so called amazon network. they, the menu us exit men, sexual network, that is much more indiscriminate. it seems to be spreading across the heterosexual population and other general populations. it may be less transmissible. i'm excited

to be strained, turned out to be again, we need more daytron. this. have to wait, transmits a street, intimates, close contracts of saliva kissing, touching with a confounded secretions. and also this of evidence of at close range arrows with transmission after a prolonged period of contact like in the household for example, or an intimate relationship. right. okay. all right, we're going to have to leave it there. julian, thank you very much for talking with us. that was barava just julian tang at the university of list. go sions ever plan to end the war in gaza are scheduled to start and capture today. the region is on edge, as israel awaits retaliation from a ran after the killing of how much political leader is male hon. the entire on negotiators are using us, drafted plan, endorsed by the un security council. it calls for a 6 weeks east fire and gaza from us would release its remaining is really cost to just in exchange for palestinian prisoners. israel would allow, in unlimited

a deliveries and its forces would withdrawal from gaza. but how my says it's losing face in the us as a mediator and will not attend detox a top official encounter for the palestinian militant group. is october 7th period attack spark. the war said him, us was still willing to be brief afterwards on the points, discussed a national that's all we expect to be told by the mediators. the israel has an accepted watch is being offered. and any meetings should be based on talking about implementation mechanisms and setting deadlines rather than negotiating something new. otherwise less time, us find no reason to participate. the deal being discussed in the hall has been on the table for months. so why are we seeing movements in these negotiations now? i put that question to you all seem nickelback from the chatham health, middle east, and north africa program. i think the main change he's that state international

community is losing his special sweet voice, both sides and wants to see if he wants to see it says for the rest of the hostages to money to age, enter into guys are and most single and fee start looking for the day after the end of the day, off the war. but what's happening right now is because there is each connected closely being also we've an expected attack by increased by the due to the same time single eventually also for the g on use that as a design goal is to assess the nation running in be wanting that in to also believe the come i see somebody then. yeah. and this is by the official duty and being bedrooms. so cool. so i think why now they think between the reaching section agreements, piece of building section and thought they came to that then kind of released into a form roll. so there is fresh momentum here. uh,

how much negotiating power though, does her mouth have left at this point given all of the defeats that it suffered? so for i think maybe it's, it's main code is the hostages. so they told him how to 20 or 20 hostages. we don't know how many of them a student life and i think the impression was so mounting inside these a solution into the man this of the hostages, which should it didn't then you know government because the bang bang go to your condition every time there is there is that by then proposing that, but i mean i was behind these and that often hits and then a start delaying the document, delaying because of the show this file i know to each section and to them and they go directly over to. ready the main thing, the law against somebody then the release of all the hostages. i think the scope

students do the song, they're wanting the comments about how much they stay in the oh the will. because of this also includes the, the, the bit i'm going to say it's one of the functions of this content and against the wind zation. it's also very much the leasing regional manual if it suits me, that she know how difficult do you think it will be to reach a meaningful deal under these circumstances? extremely they should, but i think we shouldn't down to the estimates because as it stands, it doesn't seems why the world that's the sense of urgency to reach an agreement and say hey, was original ending the one dresser. it already claimed the life of so many innocent people, i think the leadership of so don't share the sense of urgency. and there's something that jason smith i know is afraid of is, is government collapsing as

a result of funding during the fall. i see the government give saying that it would lead in case of such or such an overpayment that the same time the overall king owing, says buying a brand new man in temp and mounting joe's name is a simple location of the most and well. so the of the conversation between these are the body takes that to make it smaller and more efficient punctuation, then that was you also, you might go back from the chatham house, middle east, and north africa approach. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. thousands of people in co kata took to the streets condemning the rape and murder of a female training doctor. under the slogan reclaimed, the night demonstrators called for an end to the problem of violence against women in india. smaller protests also took place and other cities around the country. a certain protesters have gathered in the bangladesh, the capital dock out in an attempt to block rallies by the supporters of allison
