i am a researcher in physiology and my interest long coded as started long before when i started looking at coagulation in various diseases. thank you for being with us, nor a nice to have you on the stream. please will you introduce yourself to our audience and your connection to long have it? my name's no engineer, i'm a journalist. i have been a foreign journalist for about 20 years and i ended up with okay, that last year. and i started podcast to try and disseminate installation because people don't know about this new disease at all. thank you for being with us and dr . sad. finally this, introduce yourself annual connection to long as it now good evening everyone. i'm a 2nd. i'm a respiratory position or as you would call them in the u. s. a pulmonologist for my connection with cove. it started off by a being a doctor in the beginning of the pandemic, or through the 1st and 2nd waves than i acquired acute coded in november 2020, which dental rested long coded, which i suffer from. but i have now become somewhat of a patient advocate and researcher. i would like to say i had cognit

really long, quoted, but said many long covered patients. i've met an air long and don't have any one batting for them. how honey lobby, those around them dismiss it, saying stop making such a fuss on come on, pull yourself together. you just need to get more sleep and not go out so much empty. although bologna, if you haven't had it yourself, you have no idea. they couldn't live up with it once a month. ok, so now god goes to elegans university hospital. last may. his problem ceased. he was the 1st long covered patient to get the experimental drug, b, c double 07, which improved his circulation. 2 weeks later he felt well, again, been with guys the fishing club and i mentally and physically fit again of all i can be physically active without feeling wiped out for 2 weeks afterwards. having been, i can go hiking again, but it's such a gift. it's like being reborn thing. i can't put it any differently. i get bored, madness, promise gone. it's all the doctors were also amazed by the rapid improvement in the 1st patient. and 3 others were given

really long, quoted, that said many long coven patients. i've met an air long and don't have any one batting for them. how honey lobby, those around them dismiss it, saying stop making such a fuss on come on, pull yourself together. you just need to get more sleep and not go out so much for all that bologna. if you haven't had it yourself, you have no idea how to come live up with it once a month. ok, so now god goes to alan's university hospital. last may, his problem ceased. he was the 1st long covered patient to get the experimental drug, b, c double 07, which improved his circulation. 2 weeks later he felt well, again he had been with guys the fishing club and i'm mentally and physically fit again of the or i can be physically active without feeling wiped out for 2 weeks afterwards. have it's been just how i can go hiking again, but it's such a gift. it's like being reborn. thing this is, i can't put it any differently. i get bored, madness, promise gone. it's all the doctors were also amazed by the rapid improvement in the 1st patient.

so called long cove. it, some estimates suggest more than one 3rd of covert survivors will develop longer term health problems ranging from headaches or to fatigues or even more serious conditions. w correspondence, madeira child re asked, taken a long look at the long covert situation in india or not and, and cause her bad dog pepper, her lifeline. she says the bub, he went on her toes all the something which she says was not possible just a couple of months ago. 50 theodore sardina was infected with the corona virus during the 2nd week. while her initial infection was not sylvia a few days after testing negative, she was diagnosed with cardiac information about school with complication which left her with a tripling weakness for months. i used to feel so weak, so weak that every time she was defeated i can't even sit. i must lie down a hardly had at this time and i was do a very active person earlier. and i started feeling depressed. also ways to feel very low sadness case is not exceptional. many other

ok, so now god can help all other long, coven patience to sit. after the corona virus was transmitted to humans, it quickly started mutating. each subsequent mutation has been given a letter of the greek alphabet alpha, beta, gamma delta. and now ami kron have been the most important variance. so far. the variance occur because the genes or the are any of the virus changed, which altered the spike protein on the virus. in the case of ami kron, the nucleus caps, that protein inside the virus has changed as well. a german geneticist traced the lineage of the corona virus in the process he found out it may have a different origin than many previously thought. the corona virus has had health authorities scrambling to track and isolate exposed and infected people . since the pandemic began, but the virus is elusive and despite testing slips through undetected, often it's impossible to trace. if trails could be detected in time, it's spread, could be stopped, much faster. that's what has geneticist. misha, foster hearted work here at the institute of c

what causes certain symptoms of long cove it this is air long and university hospital in germany, the workplace of bettina holberg, her. she's an ophthalmologist and molecular medicine specialist trying to unravel the mystery of long covered. her team's focus is on the delayed effects. the virus has on blood flow and damage together with a colleague from the i c u. i wondered if the corona virus also affects the innermost layer of the blood vessels. the idea was relatively new back then and there was little research on it, i believe, to deliver. holberg and our team have been taking a closer look, a capillaries. the smallest and thinnest blood vessels in our vascular system. to do so, they use a special camera to photograph the eyes of long covey patients on to t did. and blood vessels in the eye are structured, just like those elsewhere in the body. this allows us to use the change as we see in the eye as a reference point for the entire body and crap again in canon. and sure enough, holbrook, i found out that a lot of covered patients have blood flow problems in their capillaries. t

this is where there's been a 7 year long, more than 70 a long. now conflict with these russian separatists. and what vladimir putin has done is essentially ripped up the minx agreement. this is the 7 year long ceasefire between ed negotiated with ukraine and russia and with the french and the germans, that were supposed to find a solution to the situation in east and ukraine in say, in said vladimir putin has said that it hasn't worked. that isn't working. i am now going to give a recognize these 2 countries as independent states, straight after he finished his speech, he went on to sign that agreement, which included a friendship and cooperation agreement. which means that if the leaders of lou ganske and don't ask, need help from russia, they can call on it. it means russia could send in troops to push back ukraine from its own sovereign territory. we are to slab your ashes. the youngest member of the ukrainian parliament, he says, the residents of kia will defend their city from the russian forces. the reality is that the phones are going off

he long quoted, but said many long covered patients. i've met an air long and don't have any one batting for them. how highly lobby those around them dismiss it, saying stop making such a fuss on come on, pull yourself together. you just need to get more sleep and not go out so much for all that bologna. if you haven't had it yourself, you have no idea to come live up with it once a month. ok, so now god goes to elegans university hospital. last may, his problem ceased. he was the 1st long covered patient to get the experimental drug, b, c double. 07, which improved his circulation 2 weeks later, he felt well again, been with guys the fishing club and i mentally and physically fit again of the or i can be physically active without feeling wiped out for 2 weeks afterwards. having been, i can go hiking again, but it's such a gift. it's like being reborn, thing this is, i can't put it any differently. i get bored, madness, promise gone. it's all the doctors were also amazed by the rapid improvement in the 1st patient. and 3 others were giv

a year long cr will cost us time that can't be recovered. and have irreversible impact to some of our most important programs. as mentioned, a 7% inflation rate. on a budget 60% of which already rises above the rate of inflation. i'd like to briefly summarize what i see as the major impacts in three areas. the first is strategically. the impacts of a year long cr will further erode our ability to credibly deter our anniversary. a year long cr will yield a smaller, less ready, less capable, and less lethal united states navy. it will have significant impacts to readiness, modernization and shipbuilding. the work that we are pursuing, the once in a century work on our public shipyards will come to a stop. the work that we are doing to invest in a new ssbn, the most survivable leg of our strategic triad will be put at risk. this -- >> sir, you have lost your audio. if you can hear me. >> can you hear me now? >> i can. >> i mentioned the impact -- and the fact that that program has no margin as it replaces submarines that have been in the water

how long can data be stored? humans have recorded their languages under knowledge in the form of drawings and symbols since prehistoric times on the unlocked data carriers from back then play tablets or stones, much of the information survive for thousands of years. as a result, these ancient data carriers can be read and decoded to day more modern storage devices can carry a lot more data, even though there are lot smaller. but the lifespan of most cds and d, v d's is estimated at less than 100 years. data that stored on the kind of huge server is operated by large companies should theoretically last forever as long as the data is repeatedly copied. and as long as defective hard drives are replaced, in order to keep the ever increasing amounts of data under control, researchers are developing smaller and smaller storage devices. in the future, synthetic dna could replace conventional data carriers. these artificially generated genetic strands would have more than a 1000000 times the capacity of modern hard drive

this syndrome of long covid is complex.arly all organ systems and there's also an overlay of psychosocial factors and, really, the collective trauma we have been experiencing, so it's very hard to tease the biology out with such a complicated syndrome, but that's what we're intending to do. >> reporter: so your study identified four possible characteristics that might predict whether or not someone develops long covid. can you explain briefly what those four items were? >> sure, the four factors we studied when measured at the time of acute covid diagnosis that later predict the development of long covid were, one, the presence of autoantibodies, the proteins the bodies make that cause diseases like lupus. the presence was sars-cov2 which causes covid in the bloodstream at the time of acute diagnosis. the other is another virus called epstein bar virus, which is the common cause of mono, and the other is type two diabetes. >> reporter: after those four factors, do they provide insight into treatment of this? i mean, some of

he's a pulmonologist that is a, a long specialist. that hindu just hospital in the indian city of mom, by doctor pinto, our health authorities in india and elsewhere taking the dangers of long cove. it seriously enough. hello, good, i can thank you for inviting me. i think one of the things that gets lost out is the magnitude of the problem. and even though it may be, it may be related to the fact that the word seems to have been infected over the past 2 years at some point time. so just that even if a tiny fraction of those individuals have long symptoms that refused to go away, i think that's a, that's a cost, a serious concern. and i think we need to take this more seriously in terms of number one, acknowledging the problems about the problem so that people approach positions approach the health care system, knowing that there is a problem that needs to be looked at. and of course, we need a lot of research initiatives to try and figure out why this is happening and therefore trying to address it to how widespread is this problem,

this syndrome, long covid, is complex.s nearly all body systems and there's an overlay of psychosocial factors and selective trauma, so it is hard to tease biology out, but that is what were intending to do. >> your study identified 4 possible characteristics that might predict if someone develops long covid. can you explain briefly what those where? >> sure. the factors we studied, we measured the time of acute covid diagnosis were one, the presence of autoantibodies, proteins the bo makes that cause diseases like lupus. second was the presence of sars-cov-2, which is the virus that causes covid, in the bloodstream at the time of acute diagnosis. the next was another virus, the epstein-barr virus, which is the common cause of mono, and the next one was type two diabetes. >> of those factors, do they provide some insight into treatment of this? some of those things seem like things you might be able to predict or treat or address. do they offer a pathway forward for addressing or treating this condition? >> that is a reall

but since we have been warning against this for a long. of time, we have also taken measures to prepare ourselves. that is the reason why we have significantly increased the presence of our nato troops in the eastern part of the alliance. air and naval forces. in the coming weeks, there will become even more. we will further increase, we are increasing our presence in the eastern part of the alliance appeared today we activate -- alliance. today we activate authority to move forces and a deploy forces when needed. this could also be elements of the nato response force. we are ready, we are adjusting. what we do is defensive, measured and do we -- we do not seek consultation. we want to prevent the conflict in a nato country. we have reached out to russia for weeks and months. what we have seen as that the russian message, being that they have never taken this force seriously because the? we were trying to find a political solution. they were planning for this. while we were trying to find a political solution, they were day by day, week by

i look at all long rates across the globe with regard to major developed economies and sovereigns longates have been stubborn. are yield curves going to flatten and invert or are long rates going to move higher and should the curves invert the media at large and central bankers spoesk cli pointed to that as a major development of a recession. >> yeah. i consider that the market is half right and half wrong in the thinking that there is some kind of mechanicistic approach. if we have the stabilization of the inflation expectations, medium and long term, then we will not have big, big increase of long term interest rates. either credible with the fed and the ecb and others then i don't think we'll see a peak in long term bond rates and i would consider it is better than in a situation where having lost credibility we have inflation expectations which is the worst. both central banks are trying to do all that they can to reanchor or anchor. i say reanchor because there's unanchoring of inflation expectations which is a big problem. in europe until now i don't se that because the ecb is cr

long ukraine's board is actually being used actually crossing ukraine's borders. i think few things really changed that in the last few days. that's the optic in fighting in don't bass. we really seeing shelling and soldiers being killed or wounded at a rate that we hadn't seen since the high point of the war in 20142015. i think it's also news of foreign diplomats leaving key of a of ukraine's, which is people. so getting out to think deficits will change the mood of people now seriously. actually thinking that this may affect them in their daily lives and isn't just something that's restricted to the dumbass. a few 100 clumps away from where i am here and give w correspondent nick connelly speaking to us a little earlier. when u. s. president joe biden says, russia's invasion of ukraine has begun and listed what he called a 1st tranche of sanctions against moscow. the american action follows a string of punitive measures set out by european leaders by and said the sanctions will target russian banks and oligarchy and moscow's access to western financing. so toda

uber is a long-duration business.are looking for the opera -- for proffered -- we are looking further out for profitability. as interest rates go up, that becomes tougher. you said a moment ago you see near-term volatility but you are confident in the long-term. what gives you that confidence in the long-term? it would seem like a tough moment to have longer-term projections. dara: the business is coming back faster than ever before. we are at record levels. we said we would hit cash flow positivity this year. i think with uber, you have the balance of in the short-term, what have you done for me lately? we are delivering profits, we will deliver cash flow profitability. q1 is stronger than q4. that is not true for some of our competitors. at the same time, we are putting a marker down on long-term growth of 22% to 26% and significant incremental profit as the business grows. you want improvement next quarter, next year? you got it. but you want long-term growth five to 10 years with increasing margins, we have that a
