the border in uganda for the democratic republic of the congo so these things are happening. it's like a drumbeat of disease outbreaks and crises. there's another on the arabian peninsula there is a virus that emerged that resembles the sars virus that scared the experts back in 2003. the new sars virus out of the arabian peninsula has only killed one person and another man in the hospital in britain but scientists all over the world were watching it carefully because they know the next big one could look something like that. so there is a drumbeat of these things. the diseases that i've mentioned have two things in common. among those i mentioned they are all caused by viruses and that is the particular profile of the scariest of the exemplars of this phenomenon. they call these animal infections that pass into humans zoonoses, a virus or it can be other forms of infectious blogs. it can be a bacteria, a protozoan like the creatures that cause malaria, it could be a fungus, it could be a worm, something called a pre- dot that causes mad cow disease and usually it is a virus

the democratic republic of congo is fighting several diseases is struggling hospital system was under pressure from cholera measles ebola and now coronavirus how about a reports. 12000000 people live in kinshasa the capital of the democratic republic of congo. last week the government put the city on the lockdown to call. for. restaurants and charges are closed public transport in and out of the capital is also restricted but people here say the closure of some food and vegetable markets has affected them most. we haven't been able to access the main market in the city for about a week now we have no way of restocking our shops i doubt will be able to survive these measures for another week. in the going but district health workers a clinic up a government building where several people including a government minister tested positive for the virus. they say the lockdown is necessary to stop it spreading. if you don't become logged on all of can just half an hour for all of us reasons but we do believe that the current log done will help control deepen demick in the city's main epicente

i love the congo, but it has a lot of disadvantages. and its disadvantages would have been probably very consequential as something like sars had been there. >> hi you have spoken a lot about the wildlife aspect of the diseases. could you comment on the role of the livestock industry? both in terms of the control and prevention of these diseases but also the potential spread? >> guest: factory farming, huge operation like pig farms in malaysia are part of what makes this problem more urgent and more dangerous. as part of what makes us, the human population and our extensions of force a very dry tinder waiting for a spark. i mention the case in malaysia. the fact that the pigs were kept in these huge outdoor compounds, and that they were arranged in a particular way with the fruit trees, was part of what resulted in that spillover. the other thing is a huge aggregations of wildlife also represent populations in which a bug can evolve. the more abundantly a virus replicates, the more it's likely to mutates. and if it is an rna virus as op

in 1995, there was an outbreak in the democratic republic of the congo.erson who survived ebola, this man here, came to the nih. we took his b-cells, we cloned the b-cells, and we made the antibody, which means we made his cells produce an antibody, in large amounts, that actually binds to this lipoprotein right here. david: right. dr. fauci: now, this antibody, as we're speaking, is being tested in the democratic republic of the congo as one of the potential treatments for ebola. david: so if somebody comes to me and says, "i had ebola and i'm ok now," it's ok to shake their hand? dr. fauci: oh, yeah. david: they're safe? dr. fauci: well, you may remember when we discharged the young nurse who got infected in texas, and i discharged her from the nih that i had a press conference, and i put my arm around her and hugged her, and it made the front page of "the washington post." the reason i did that deliberately was to show the rest of the world that when you recover from ebola -- david: what did your wife say? dr. fauci: she thought it was fine.

with the rwandan government and that's a 20 donated government the rwandan government has said to congo you need to run the f.t. a lot in we see this reaching threat across the border we see tutsi civilians being killed inside congo the f.t. a lot have had a recent history of going across the border in into rwanda and so that's the bigger context of this attack today. now 5 years since a powerful earthquake struck near palm many families this hour waiting to rebuild their homes thousands of people with care and 800000 displaced and cultural and historical monuments were damaged as well most of the reconstruction has been completed but the work is not happening fast enough from yet a member for some kathmandu. it's been 5 years since the magnitude $7.00 earthquake struck parts of nepal. stand by a stock is home collapsed in the quake tired of living in a temporary shelter her family is rebuilding their house. near the capital katmandu where 800 homes were destroyed and 7 people died i never can man by many of our neighbors have left their temperature shelters we felt alone so we decided

i remember being in congo. one of my first trips there on the director of programs there, these women are so traumatized, some of them cannot even say the names of love pretty if you think about that, they can't even say their names out loud. so being able to actually talk and speak into your story, this is my story. barbara: we have two minutes and i'll ask a simple question. [laughter]. it is more of a macro question you say that this is clearly, important for individuals lives for all of our lives to enhance our understanding in the world. that is also using the book, crucial to development and stability in a country to have women have voice and choice. what is the link. karen: there is a lot of data that shows the countries where women have greater educations and were women are engaged in paid work are inherently more sustainable read countries with greater gender equality are inherently more sustainable. and you know that when women are working, it contributes to more positive and inclusive economic growth

if that disease emerged in the province of the democratic republic of the congo, i love the congo but had a lot of disadvantages would have been probably consequential if something like sars had come out of there. >> you have spoken about the wildlife aspect. comment about the role of the livestock industry in terms of control and prevention of these diseases but also potential spread? >> factory farming, huge operations like pig farms in malaysia are part of what makes this more urgent and dangerous, part of what makes us, the human population and our extensions a forest of dried tinder waiting for a spark. i mentioned the case in malaysia, the fact that pigs were kept in outdoor compounds and were arranged in a particular way with fruit trees was part of what resulted in that spillover. huge aggregations of wildlife represent populations in which a bug can even all. the more abundantly a virus replicates the more likely it is to new tape. if it is an rna virus as opposed to double helix dna viruses mutation rate will be particularly high, generate a lot of change, a lot of genetic v
