says it has to confidence in the drug. this comes as russia sees a spike in coven 1000 and sections with over 18000 new cases of rough surf in the last 24 hours and the total number of cases exceeding 1600000 the country remains among the worst hit in the world together with the u.s. india and brazil. with kobe tightening its grip both in russia and worldwide r.t. has heard from a leading evolutionary biologist has conducted an extensive studies into the virus he explains how it mutates and how outbreaks can be dealt with and you can catch the full interview on our website for now here's a quick preview. i think it's a blessing that coronaviruses evolve more slowly than other r.n.a. viruses but still it's a very quick process because the virus mutates every 2 weeks but in one specific lineage what is a specific lineage thus infects musher mush infects pits in pits infix tanya
7:21 am
in such a lineage the virus mutates once but at the same time a similar process is taking place across the globe since different viruses acquire different mutations in total we see tens of thousands of mutations but we can already see approximately 20000 mutations. that is 20000 versions of the same corona virus that is believed to have her originated and by the. results that we now see that the common ancestor was around in december or january the genomes of all the coronaviruses we are sequencing and studying right now show that they are all descended from one common ancestor which existed back then so it seems to me very unlikely that the parson fact that a person before that time. so. there is a widespread belief that the virus does not exist in order to kill the owner but in order to somehow perfectly adapt to it and live quietly inside them.
7:22 am
actually this is not what the virus cares about most we know a huge number of examples one of our success didn't put place for many many is many centuries and did not weaken small cults for example on measles which is fatal in a large proportion of cases if there is no treatment but generally it often happens that the mortality rate does not change at all. so there is no guarantee that covert 19 will somehow become less dangerous. when you're in the near. future there are no guarantees of that. with just days to go until the us presidential election polls show americans are losing trust in government institutions and regard the country's response to the pen demick as a national failure are just killed off and digs deeper into american discontent. whether it's donald trump or joe biden who's sworn in on january 21st next year the
7:23 am
pillars of u.s. society will not stop shaking just for that covert 19 may be ravaging the united states but americans think that their government and its institutions could be just as dangerous to the country in an earlier poll when asked to name the greatest disappointments the u.s. congress and the us president came up top that might be because on capitol hill they seem to spend more time in name calling than actually getting things done is following the radical left agenda no religion no anything hurt the bible heard god. prisoners who have in modern history joe biden is the puppet of left wing extremists trying to erase our borders eliminate our police we have racists and they've existed then tried to get elected president the 1st one that happened this fits into a greater pattern of distrust and the failure of essential institutions in us

a long history of police brutality have many americans asking whether or not they're really safe and protected public trust in the police as an institution has been in decline intelligence agencies are yet another example they are expected to gather information and then provide it to the military but lately they seem to have been getting caught up in political squabbles if the 1st people you met from so-called american intelligence were dirty cops who have now proven to be sleaze bags at the highest level you could perhaps understand my reluctance to embrace the intelligence agencies seem to be competing with each other rather than being focused on getting the job done many wonder if they are up to the task of taking on china which has now been labeled the new big threat the us government and the intelligence community will fail to achieve the outcomes required to enable continued u.s. competition with china on the global stage for decades to come and to protect the us health and security none of this started with donald trump it's been
