and darpa isn't the only government agency taking action.eric association. there are many potential obstacles to restoring coral reefs as diego lerman and his team learned after 2017. >> it was major setback. we lost 90% of all of the corals that we had been growing for a decade. >> wow. >> it was a huge loss. but we also rebuilt very quickly. >> there's not much anyone can do about a major hurricane. but perhaps the biggest criticism of restoring reefs or creating hybrid ones is that it's not possible to do this on the scale that's needed. >> thank you. >> you got it, man. >> there are some people who think this is like spitting into the ocean. that this is not going to be enough to counteract climate change. >> we get that all the time. but if we don't address this challenge in the meantime while we deal with the larger societal problems we won't have any coral reefs left by the time we get this other problem under control. >> without a meaningful reduction of carbon gases to address climate change, will you be able to rescue the reeveesfs

it is based on darpa.s helped lead to breakthroughs in technology to protect national security like internet, gps, so much more. arpa h levy single-purpose. -- will have a singular purpose. to drive breakthroughs, the deck diseases like cancer, all timers, diabetes. to enable us to live help your desk healthier lives -- to enable us to live healthier lives. now that i understand democrats and republicans do not talk to one another, they came together to invest $1 billion initially to launch arpa-h. imagine the possibilities, vaccines that could prevent cancer like there is for hbv. imagine molecular zip codes that could deliver drugs and gene therapy precisely to the right tissue. imagine simple blood tests during an annual physical that can detect cancer early. when the chances of cures best. imagine getting a simple shot instead of grueling chemo or getting a government local pharmacist -- from -- getting a pillow from a local pharmacy instead of invasive treatments. reducing maternal mentor -- mortality

an entrepreneur and synthetic biology, she will bring the legendary darpa attitude and risk-taking to arpa-h, to fill a critical need, discoveries that save and change lives and often start in the lab bench. but then those research breakthroughs need to be tested, scaled and brought to the clinic. this may require unusual partnerships, it may require support, there are many obstacles that exist. that's why arpa-h is designed, so that it advances can reach all american sooner. i predict arpa-h will emerge as a new and exciting member of america's biomedical ecosystem. but it's not enough to invent technology to save lives. we need to manufacture, advanced biotechnologies, here in the united states. that's why today, i signed an executive order by the direction of the federal government to ensure biotechnologies is invented in the united states and they are made in the u.s., whether they are for cancer treatments or anything else like next-generation fuels and materials. today's actions will ensure america leads the world in biotechnology and bio manufacturing, crating jobs, strengtheni

of ministers of the minister of industry to create an agency, a state development agency similar to darpahen i worked there, we had discussions that were not very constructive at the time with my colleagues regarding what mr. yuriy just said, everyone in our country says that we need to save budget funds there, and that's why we don't need another state agency. and we need to create a legal entity there in the form of an enterprise . the task of the administrative and industrial deputies is to create this agency, well , at the end of the day, to carry out the instructions of the president, to create a presidential decree and to have it start work, but if it is created in the form of a word, this is how it manages the subject as documents are being prepared there again, i always said that it should be a state-law agency, why exactly because of what yuriy said, because the funds for it, well, for scientific developments , also give a negative result. stolen, if they are not stolen, then the head of the state agency, you want darpa, you want the swedish agency, he has the right to sign the a

based on darpa that's helped lead to break throughs in technology to protect our national security likeh more. rpah will have the purpose to drive break throughs to prevent, detect and treat diseases, including cancer, alzheimer's diabetes and other diseases and enable us to live healthier lives. i called for it in my company and after being elected president, notwithstanding the fact that democrats and republicans don't talk to one another, republicans, independents and democrats in congress came together and invested $1 billion initially to launch rpah. imagine the possibilities, vaccines that could prevent cancer like there is for hpv. imagine, molecular zip codes that could deliver drugs and gene therapy precisely to the right tissues. imagine simple blood tests during an annual physical that could detect cancer early when the chances of a cure are best. imagine getting a simple shot instead of grueling chemo or getting a pill from a local pharmacy instead of an invasive treatment or long hospital stays. imagine treatments beyond cancer. bold approaches to reduce maternal mortality,

so i know a former -- as a former darpa director, dr. prabhakar will help us with this innovation of stem in america. moreover, i know that dr. prabhakar will on many issues help improve the participation of women and girls in the issues of stem. this is such a big, important issues for us today, but just being at the helm of the office of science and technology policy, being a woman, being at the cabinet level, advising the president of the united states, i know she will help deliver a message that all women across america need to be involved in the sciences to help our nation in the next phases of innovation. i'm so excited that she will be in this position. i ask my colleagues to support her as a devoted, experienced and exceptional public servant. these are the kind of people that we need in government. these are the kind of people that can make america stronger, safer and more competitive. i urge my colleagues to support the confirmation of dr. prabhakar as the director of office of science and technology policy. i thank the preside

if they are not stolen, then the head of the state agency, you want darpa, you want the swedish agencyht to sign the act that we tried to find a way out. we tried to find a solution. we did everything honestly in accordance with the knowledge we currently have. but we could not get positive results. documents in previous years there 2008-9-10 when our scientists received a negative result, after that they checked certain bodies there legality and direction of funds that were allocated if the funds were spent honestly, it's normal, everything is over he will be given all the funds and he will spend them with a negative result, then people will come in uniform who will say why did you spend state funds and get a negative result, you caused losses to the state and their let's say so, he brought me to justice, that's why such people will never be the subjects of your gift after even undertaking developments where a negative result is possible, they will take what is already in the world and we will once again use the funds inefficiently because we will not receive anything thank you, mr. y

challenging subterranean navigation competition called by the department of defenses research agency, darpa. - they're affectionately known as r-1, r-2, and r stands for rot. (all laughs) - [shivani] these robot twins are designed for search and rescue missions too dangerous for humans. and unlike the self-driving car, they operate without a map. to achieve this, they have to learn to identify every single object they encounter on the fly. - ththey are programmed to go ot and actually act fully autonomously, and they will be making 10 of their own decisions. so they're recognizing objects, they're making the decision of where to go next, where to explore. - [shivani] to see this in action, the r-2 robot is starting on a simulated search and rescue mission to find a stranded human dummy in the mind. - imagine having a map of a collapsed mind before you sent a team of people to go rescue someone in that mind, they're like it's a game changer. - [shivani] how the robot discerns elements in this environment parallel is how an infant learns about her environment. a three month old uses her sense

we spoke to a guy move darpa who was running for the night, jerry and presidency until june. he says, climate change has been more of a problem faith, affecting global food supplies than the conflicts and ukraine. the problem has been ongoing for a long time and it has a lot of things that has to do with the destruction of resources that we have from the wisdom colonial powers that help for long a short time. make sure that we get food from our doctors where they can be able to give course like russia has agreed. i'll send you an agreement with you. can she brains to some part of africa? discontinue against ensure that we tend issue of security in there. just hold that family, come over and talk, is that the european powers department because they have met on 26th regarding the climate change. let go from future forms. the leads them about $100000000000.00 for africa so that we can be able to get it for climate change. the problem is the telephone shot and what a was in africa. if you judge on well, buy a new one above the one. yeah. you know, you got any sent all over. got i

he compared it to the department of defense's darpa agency that did a lot to help the military and national security but came up with things like the internet and gps. technologies that had a lot of tools beyond the military. that is the idea behind this new agency. they're really driving biomedical research, to drive new technology, whether it's testing or treatment. to deal with cancer, he also spoke about this executive order also dealing with research and he said something also that was interesting which is that a lot of people, most people can relate or most people have been touched or know someone whose life has been touched by cancer but this is not something political. cancer doesn't care if you're republican or a democrat. everyone can come together to fight this and he compared it to the moonshot saying you have to harness the resources of u.s. scientists and doctors and technology to be able to do this. >> elizabeth, in general since 1991, cancer deaths are down 31% according to the american cancer society. a lot of that is because of prostate cancer deaths down 50%, breast cance

point out as you well know in the dod space how dod gets put together but separate to that arc and darpa are doing interesting work on looking at this kind of information warfare game and trying to understand quickly not only ways for us to see what our adversaries are working on and underlying capabilities technology wise to see that but also at the end of the day you want to make sure we get messages so that people have access to tools in china, in iran, in these places that are going to be overtime going to be completely closed off to outside information. you see russia and china further moving into this space shutting down the access to outside information to these information flows is a stay in existence so how do we go these technologies to assist with that? space x and starling of what's happening in ukraine has helped the ability ukraine without messages of what was happening behind the scenes or stay in close communication from actual defense movement perspective so these technologies and how we grapple with them and also the ethics behind them because when i'm would go we would

. >> in 2018, they asked for money from darpa. they wanted to insert the nucleotide that makes it highly infectious in humans. they had the idea and must've thought wow, this is going to be a great experiment. even our government decided at that point not to fund that. this is why i think it was a holy cow moment when all of a sudden, the scientists see the sequence of covid-19 and go, didn't they access -- ask us in 2018 to put that nucleotide in? dr. quay, could you lay out in a simple a fashion as possible, two or three items about the virus that makes you think, whether this came from a lab or animals, but compelling evidence suggests it could have come from a lab. even if it was a 10% chance, it is another reason to be concerned about having oversight on this kind of research. can you give me two or three things this virus has that makes you think it is lab, versus the evidence for mers and sars that it came from animals? >> the receptor binding, a binding site, with respect to receptor-binding domain, if you look at sars one

one of the things that tips us off that they may have been trying in 2018 they asked for money from darpa and they wanted to insure the site that makes it highly infectious for humans and they're asking for money, wow, we can do this and it's going to be a great experiment. even our government finally at that point decided know the to fund that, but what they're asking for, and this is why i think there was a "holy cow" moment when all of a sudden the scientists see the sequence of covid-19, going, oh, my goodness, didn't they ask us in 2018 put that site in and lo and behold it's there? and what i'd like to ask and finish with this and another round much some people who want to ask other questions. doctor, could you layout in simple a fashion as possible two or three items about the virus that makes you think it came from -- not everybody knows with 100% whether this came from a lab or whether it came from animals, but there is some compelling evidence that suggests it could have come from the lab, you know, and even if it was a 10% chance it came from a lab, that's another reason for us
