12:01 pm
hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. the world health organization has declared a global public health emergency following an outbreak of a new strain of the em 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 and pokes is searching across africa. and this is grounds there 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
12:02 pm
lives, most of them children. and it's showing no sign of slowing down 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 sion to add that out, breaks of other plates of and books in other parts of africa. it's clear that the coordinated 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 filled legions. but this new strain is proving more infectious and even more deadly. an expert spirit, a growing outbreak in africa,
12:03 pm
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 he could a spread beyond africa to auto redone self. the world. the world health organization last declared in parks 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 that very few of those are available in africa and global health officials type. this new emergency declaration will kick stats in the international efforts to contain the disease. as julian tank as a biologist at the university of lester in the u. k, i asked him to tell us more about the surgeon m fox cases and how this outbreak differs from the 12 years ago. the difference is really due to the different plates
12:04 pm
of strange if you like, of this impulse virus. the stream from 2 years ago it was a global strain and it site 2 which is the single best api constrain. and it pretty much milder and more limited in terms of clinical severity than the original kite one virus. the one is now a spitting course, actually to is a branch of the, played one virus now to play on b. and this part, the originals, frank strains, and that the aussie democratic, the condo, and this has a high mortality, is most of the same in clay as made increase. and it has this ability compared to the original endemic played one a strain from the r c. talk to us more about this transmission ability because the this m pox variance has now just new strain has spread to 13 countries. the outbreak of hundreds of people died mainly children. why has this new variant been
12:05 pm
able to spread so quickly? so yeah, so that's a good question i think was the lift into this, but the original straight from the all see the played one a the light that was limited in terms of that it would only spread beyond that maybe 3 or 4 generations. and then it would die out that it's often consummate from, i mean more risk was in the original and dummy kerio. now it looks like the process is adapted to shooting to human transmission. again, something we saw with tribute 19 after even several years. but this was just being around enough to for many, many, many more years. 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, which i might be so with tribute 19 of the size of 2 bars. how much of a difference do you think it'll make that the w h o is now declared the impacts outbreak to be a global public health emergency probably should make
12:06 pm
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 epidemic. so kinda make 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 of the ways should people outside of the effective regions be worried about their own health for this virus end up spreading much further and if so, what precautions should people be taking? so yes, as close as you saw it 2 years ago, they tried to straighten spread globally along the so called amazon network. they, the menu, a 6 admin, sexual network that is much more indiscriminate. it seems to be spreading across the heterosexual population. and other general populations of it may be less
12:07 pm
transmissible. i'm excited to be strained, turned out to be again, we need more dates from this. as the weight transmitters through intimates, close concepts 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 phrase, we're gonna 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 the association of our plan to end the war in gaza are scheduled to start in concert today. the region is on edge, as is real awaits retaliation from a ran after the killing of home us political leader is miles on the interior. on negotiators are using a us drafted plan endorsed by the un security council. the calls for a 6 week supplier in gaza. how much would release its remaining is really hostages
12:08 pm
and exchange for palestinian prisoners. israel would allow, in unlimited a deliveries and its forces would withdrawal from gaza. but how much says it is losing faith in the us as a mediator in will not have tens of talks, a top official and concert for the palestinian militant group whose october 7th terror attack spark, the war said him, us was still willing to be able there to be priest, rather after words on points, discussed a national that's all 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. otherwise, less time us find no reason to participate. well, it's uh, the deal discussed in the hall has been on the table for months. so why are we seeing movement in these negotiations? now?
12:09 pm
i put that question to you all. seem that go back from the chatham house, middle east, and north africa program. i think the main change. he's that state and commission 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 many to age, enter into guys are and most single and fee start looking to the day after the end of day or the war. but what's happening right now is because there is each connected close sleeping. also, we've an expected attack by increased by the, due to the same time, single, eventually also for the t 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 the and the fish by the fish and a and being bedrooms. so cool. so i think why know these things between the
12:10 pm
teaching section, it was a man's piece of filtering section at the chemical that been kind of released into it for really well. so there is fresh momentum here. uh how much negotiating power though, does her mouse have left at this point a given all of the defeats that it suffered? so for i think maybe its, its main code. it is the hostages. so they told him how to 20 or 20 hostages. we don't know how many demo a student like. and i think the impression was. so mounting inside these a tuition into the menu release of the hostages, which should it didn't then you know government because the thing did they didn't go to your condition every time there is there is that by then proposing that, but then yeah, was behind it and that often hits and then you start delaying the document, delaying because of the actual this file i know to each section and to them and
12:11 pm
they go directly over to the main thing, the law against somebody. then the release of all the hostages. i think the scope student students song, they're wanting to handle comments about how much they stay in the oh the will. because of this also includes the, the, the didn't go search, find the function of these content and against the possession. 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 say, i think we shouldn't down to this debate 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 so don't share the sense of urgency. and
12:12 pm
there's something that jason smith i know he's afraid of these is government collapsing as a result of funding during the fall, i seemed to go home and give saying that it would lead in case of such or such an event that the same time the overall king owing says buy 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 dicks that's making some moment, motivation, punctuation, and then so as you'll see, like a back from the chatham house, middle east and north africa programs speaking to me a bit earlier. so take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world today. japanese authorities have lifted a week, old mega quake warning they feared, could have caused major damages and loss of life export. so there was no abnormal seismic activity, but stress that an earthquake could still occur. warning cause people to cancel,
12:13 pm
travel, and stock up on supplies. stopping to store nest though has strengthened into a hurricane after dumping. torrential rain on the us territory a puerto rico storm knocked out power over to over 700000 people on the island. ernesto is forecast to become even us gotten even stronger hurricane and pass close to bermuda. on saturday. certain protesters have gathered in the bangladesh, the capital doctor in an attempt to block rallies, but supporters of allison prime minister shakes. i've seen a august 15th is a public holiday in bangladesh. the anniversary of the assassination of huskiness father, a former president, around 300 people, died in student lead for demonstrations that ended has seen those rules. thousands of people have taken to the streets of west bengal, india to condemn the rape and murder of
12:14 pm
a female training doctor. other cold call to hospital under the slogan reclaimed, the night demonstrators called for more to be done to prevent violence against women. smaller protests also took place and other cities around the country. sexual violence against women is on the rise in india, with an average of 90 rapes every day reported in 2022. the protesters held a candle it march at midnight. coinciding with the start of indians, independence day celebrations. many express frustration over the state of women's safety in modern day india. we see that on the eve of independence, read the man. i also need our independence back. and for a long time, we have suffered this, this sort of insecurity where be we couldn't room the streets at night. we couldn't go anywhere even if, even if there was some kind of emergency, we wouldn't leave our homes. we had to stay inside because because of this and security business crossman outside, who were,
12:15 pm
who were so good for venture to harm us. now as a woman. so i travel by public transport every day. and i get had us every each and every day. but we have normalize this, we have really the thing, but it is normal. so good title is to because it will happen. we are born as a biological woman in this country, and this will happen in our country, but i think it's enough is enough. now it's time to like, like, rise out in for this rise in rage because this can go on indian prime minister and around remote he expressed his pain over gender based violence in india. it's so much going on. but as a society, i mean, we have to seriously think about the atrocities being commented against our mothers sisters and daughters was the that is outrage against isn't the country then someone to call out close school. my message is i can field this outrage,
12:16 pm
my and i will give you the crimes against women should be quickly investigated. the route says it monstrous behavior against women should be severely and quickly financially. i don't. oh, that is essential for granting of veterans and confidence in society. let's get more on this now from our correspondent audio by twos in new daily audio. tell us more about this case as well of what has happened was that a 30 year old training doctor was free it and my good include the inside of the street or and also when she was working, the doctor wasn't at 36 shift and she needed to take a break, she chose to go to the seminar room inside the hospital. there wasn't the police to rest on this room didn't want having to cctv camera to the next day. she was on
12:17 pm
free and moto it, and often this, some instant the police arrested in india was who has being charged with the crime . he was an employee of the hospital, but what a civic will that he was not even downplay at the hospital, but he was a civic warranty of with almost access to the department in the hospital. this incident has driven mass protest, possibly talk to us a we can spread in different states live today on the 20, not only not talk to us, in fact, thousands of women most with the streets last night for testing. it has been by steve and i just uh, we have seen the vehicle to this particular quote, the weekly, the 9th march, when women joined with man and jim points and sort of like cods, put us in candlelight. so when's it with protesting group of people to disguise that for testers, entered and lost his premises on the window as property and the dentist tunes. so
12:18 pm
uh no, his case had been transferred to the federal claim agency on the 2 months, all the protesting doctors. okay, but it's not just doctors who are protesting. now the we've, this is turned into a massive protest against violence against women in india. what are the protesters demanding exactly. how do or j. o to an optimum of this dreadful incident for just us, and also don't want to invest, being golden. other states are demanding justice and safer conditions for medical start working. most of the protest, those are actually standing. and so now to keep the talk to us, now we see the protest. those have since gone and strike that demonic investigation and punishment. but the cues there was a demonic apology from the rest. and well, please, i'm comfortable with you from the cheapest, throughout the state to insure safety for women and doctors on duty. and now the
12:19 pm
association of medical doctors have written to ministry of health asking about a pending bill in the bottom, and that was from 2019 to predict doctors from assault inside the hospital. there had been several instances where the patients or the family members having that that and it was do not still live in 2015. the post stated that 70 percent of doctors have be some kind of widens wednesday. i worked in india. so now we see angry protest to us across india like protesting on this case. so we've got the protests by the doctors and we've got protests of, but we saw young women in our sound bars from them there, protesting against violence that is used against women. we heard never end remote is just a moment ago, the prime minister speaking about this subject to what is the government in india doing to prevent such crimes and violence against women. or i'm sorry, the video that prime is moody's promise trick,
12:20 pm
but punishment for crimes like an instrument during his speech on independence day to day. uh, the health minister also met dr. association angles pretest. those and promised them to form a committee that would work on the central protection, which actually was a safety and protection of doctors. and especially talking with female doctors, i can book but as far as one second, this movement is, comes from the media, all successful governments, some feedback, there's this issue. and one that reports that are coming to suggest that there had been an increase in crimes looking just women in india. idol, thank you very much. that was our corresponding audio. but in delhi, the ukraine says its forces are continuing their advance into rushes quarter sk region 10 days after launching their surprise killed her attack. ukrainian president belonged to me as landscape says his government has held talks on setting up a military administration in quarters to,
12:21 pm
to allow the evacuation of civilians. keith said it plan so use the area as a strategic buffers are and to protect its border areas from russian to attacks. ukraine's cross border advance into russia has also renewed calls for the western allies to drop the restrictions on how their weapons are used. let's take a look at those so called red lines and how changing them might affect the situation on the battlefield. taking the fight to enemy territory, ukraine's incursion into russia. putting the spotlight on its capabilities and rushing vulnerabilities, allegedly using western supplied fighting vehicles. us senators, visiting keith as the operation was unfolding, said it's time to allow refrain to use it with weapons as it please. it's striking farther into russian territory a red line. the us has so far, shied away from we want to convey to the
12:22 pm
administration of methods that it should provide more flexibility and authority to ukraine in using the weapons that have been provided to strike deeper behind the lines that exist right now. there are limits and issues of permission we hope to cut through that. thank you very much for your training and presidents comes out to me as a lensky has long been fighting to erase that red line. yeah, those are, those are cool with the show me is the minutes the defend does seem nice. oh yeah. you said you'd have the book similar because even activity as possible with the minimum range to meet with them to, to use the ukraine. right now we need appropriate permissions from all hotness to use. i don't range weapon lessons to survive yet the, the beesley. so this is something that consumers, if it can be that phone's the just don't have this noise at this point, as well as a perceptions of ukrainian light was from russian must have or features or do what grades. everybody says go to the front line and ukraine has moved little in recent
12:23 pm
months with russia slowly expanding the territory. it occupies capturing a handful of villages at great cost. now for the 1st time ukraine controls territory inside russia, ukraine says it holds an estimated 1000 square kilometers in the cursed region. the shaded area here shows the area of the russian boarder regence of brianna costs and belgrade that are in range of us, supplied high mars missile launchers that ukraine has now. but almost all of russia's military and air bases are beyond that range. so landscape has consistently pushed to use longer range. missiles like advanced attack comes, they can fire up to a 170 kilometers another red line. but that would make it harder for russia to protect the air bases from which it launches most of its air attacks. on ukraine, cities and infrastructure. there are also attack comes with a 300 kilometer range, which could threaten even more russian assets. over the past 2 years,
12:24 pm
the west has escalated its own arms deliveries from high mars, multiple rocket launchers to tanks, to long range missiles to fighter jets. each considered a red line all without russia taking serious steps to counter over the conflict. the red lines have changed. earlier this year, the us said ukraine to use a truck comes to fire across the board. only in parts of the hockey region that we're under attack from russia. that's not the same area where you cranium troops searched across the border this week. for his part, russian president vladimir putin has said he has the red lines to warning of possible nuclear escalation. if russian territory is the time we have the rest of the, of those warnings, defensive, crazy person. unfortunately, soil playing it down to inflaming the way was not doing suitable symbol, but apparently which is the enemy. with the help of this, western boston is full fitting that will you find
12:25 pm
