we cover it in different ways, gene. it's the stakes of this, adds the virus surges, and i want to emphasize this. it's not a binary of, oh, responsible cdc-type policy means you shut everything down. you have to trade off as well how many people are trading a public health risk with eviction and not being able to work, as that individual said, since december? >> right. and what is being said by dr. fauci and others, not being listened to by the president, is that of course you don't have to shut down the entire economy, but you do have to perhaps selectively shut down some kinds of businesses in some places for some length of time. ideally, you want to have as many schools open as you can. because that's good for the kids. so you should try to do that where you can. but we're, you know, this -- this place is on fire right now. that's the -- the problem is that the trump administration has been so irresponsible that the -- that the -- the reasonable measures that now we should be able to take to control the fall spike of

he can't. >> gene? >> well, he said in that clip that time will tell, but in fact, time has told and it's done. there is a meme going around that said donald trump has been having the representative 2020 experience. he got covid, he lost his job and he's getting evicted. that's kind of -- that's where donald trump is right now and that's not an easy reality for anybody but it is reality and david probably right, he'll stomp off without a concession or anything but he will indeed, stomp away. >> gene, i want to ask you about the lack of any voter fraud evidence and the inability for donald trump to bend the government to his will and i've heard from people, wait a minute, what about the other things that used to work and bill barr did seem to play fast and loose with certain things in earlier eras. it did seem to be a problem and again, power moves swiftly as you guys know from covering this so much. i want to show "the washington post" bill barr had a little memo and fact checked why it wasn't doing any

, you can have 2 doses, but not to have genes. so this means that at the efficacy is either 60 percent or 90 percent depending which doses it take, but whatever those david choose need to be fine tuned and we tested 40 people into the market. now obviously we've heard this is the 3rd promising vaccine that has been announced in the fight against a covert. 90 we've heard of course from the vaccine from biotech and pfizer mcgurn, are russia's sputnik obviously, also supposedly very effective on so many vaccines in the pipeline. you know, is there a rivalry there? is there a competition, there? is this good bad? is there room for all of them? well, this is a very important question and to be honest, this is a business for pharmaceutical being very clear. and this is certainly a market,, for example, if you remember to birds of flies or a c.e.o., it clearly stated that they are not going to subsidize any vaccine just because that's not in favor of the company, but on controls to ostracize any clearly stated that this is a nonprofit va

in the journal ilife scientists call it an overlapping gene essentially a gene within a gene, and it could explain why the coronavirus evolved to replicate so efficiently and why it became so infectious. researchers say the discovery could also reveal new ways to control covid-19 the meantime the debate over another coronavirus relief bill, it's still ongoing on capitol hill senate democrats they're pushing for a comprehensive package worth trillions of dollars to match the rising number of covid cases all across the country. >>but senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is holding firm calling for less expensive more targeted relief. so pressure is on republicans to deliver. leader mcconnell and all of my republican colleagues will have an opportunity to show the american people. >>that they're ready to get to work so i think should be holly targeted. very similar to what put on the floor both in october september. >>mcconnell insist a multitrillion-dollar covid relief package will not make it through the senate so the back and forth continues. as the u.s. sees another day of record

, there are other things linked to genes., being tall. can you imagine crispr being used to essentially create a kind of baby or, you know, human that one wants? >> well, this has been a big topic in the whole world of genome editing and with crispr in particular because of that potential. and so over the last five years there has been an active international partnership to ensure responsible use of gene-editing, including in human embryos. right now that's effectively certainly in the united states is not allowed, and in other countries there is a strong regulatory framework that guides the way that it can be developed in the future. >> but technologically, it is possible? given the -- >> it is. >> tell me your reaction to what happened in china. a scientist there essentially used crispr to create twins who were essentially immune from hiv, as i understand it, and then the chinese scientific establishment came down very hard on him. in fact, he is now serving a three-year jail sentence. do you think that this is deterrent en

because share we a lot of the same genes, we think around 80% of disease—causing genes in humans, the some differences and how that gene functions in the fish compared to how it might function and asked. they have an amazing ability to repair and regenerate their own bodies, crucially, without leaving scars. so is there something in the flesh's genetics that could be replicated in humans? they are able to regenerate many different issues, including their tail, and their skin essentially. also the retina, their heart, any kind of damage that they get that is similar to damage we might get. so we might be able to produce a certain type of white blood cell or promote the function of another type of white blood cell and the combination of that might be the way to reduce scarring in human patients in the future. the scientists will also consider how various skin colours scar differently. this is the first research project of its kind in the world and the charity funding it has a bold ambition, to achieve scar free healing within a generation. scarring is common, there's lots of people affe

gene: it is interesting.tf the big outcomes of seems to be the most likely result now is we are going to get a rebalancing of jose. there was an expectation that seamless would do the heavy lifting coming out looks like monetary policy will have to take out more the slack. in some ways you're getting a trade-off in terms of equity market relief and a strong bond market response to what is likely to be greater reliance on the as that applies -- price reflation. rather than a reliance on large fiscal stimulus. that said, i think you will get a reasonable physical response impactal response to the of the covid crisis on the economy. francine: at some point, do not run out or do central banks not run out of tools they can deploy to face with covid and and lack of stimulus? what does that mean for treasuries and also global bond markets? gene: yeah, i think it is right to question the impact on the economy over time. i was a relative to three months ago, that outlook for the u.s. economy has become more uncertain

i'm gene otani.'s bench mark stock index rose on wednesday reaching its highest close in 29 1/2 years. this followed an overnight rally in new york where the dow jones industrial average surpassed the 30,000 mark for the first time on the expectation coronavirus vaccines will be available soon. the nikkei average ended at 26,296, up half a percent from tuesday's close. investors placed buy orders in a large range of sectors from the opening, but the index lost momentum after news the tokyo metropolitan government is poised to ask bars and restaurants that serve alcohol to reduce their business hours. the request is part of efforts to curb the spike of coronavirus infections. the nikkei 225 has gained about 14% so far this month alone. analysts say many investors are taking on more risk as they expect current monetary easing measures around the world to continue. but some urge caution. they say the rally may not reflect the state of the real economy. the latest report maintains the official assessment

gene: it's a good question. i think we have to realize that central banks are willing to be aggressively.ly, we haven't seen that quite yet in the u.s. i think the market will test the fed, and i think we will have a bit of a wrestling match here to the extent the data keeps getting better. talk about strategic portfolios, we've got some allocation flexibility. i've got equities at record highs essentially. i've got yields at the zero bound. how do you get strategic. how do you allocate? gene: i think we are looking at equities now as a nasdaq class that are probably poised to benefit from the better outcomes of the vaccine. if you want to diversify that, i think you still leave fixed income in the portfolio. if you want to build a flexible fixed income portfolio, i don't you want to eliminate interest risk altogether, now that yields are a little higher, there's a little more cushion left. , put on the 12 month outlook and try to look at where we are a year from now, it is an economy that is probably getting be

setting up europe's 1st honeybee gene database. it's given a tradition like gene banks for cattle, pigs and sheep have been around for some time. but there's been nothing of that kind of court bees anywhere in europe. it's needed because the genetic diversity of rb populations is declining fast. there are constantly new parasites as well as challenges due to climate change that we can only meet them if rb use genetic make up is as diverse as the challenge is to make the database as comprehensive as possible. the scientists have been collecting samples from many colonies across germany. they vary widely in terms of the properties of such as gentleness, diligence, and swarming behavior. some types have become extremely rare. for example, the european duck being until the mid 19th century, it was the most common honeybee in germany. but then it was displaced by the kani own an eye, maybe conic up, you know, the karni omen honey bee expanded through breeding. and it prevailed because it is also relatively gentle with a relatively low s

this gene code protein causes immunity to a specific infection. in your case, it is a human adenovirus. yes. in our case it is the covert gene that is embedded in the genome of a human a dino virus in the vaccine. it is a monkey adenovirus. yes, the vaccine uses a monkey, a d n, a virus that you take the virus out of a cell culture and clean it. and when you inject a person with it, the virus won't multiply. it just causes an abortive infection. what is an abortive infection? that is when the particles of the virus get into the cell and start to replicate the virus without its maturation, by embedding the virus in the cell. we get a huge amount of this protein and it immunizes the person. and you say that long term immunity is formed. how long and how strong the immunity is, is still the subject of study? it is still a question. yes, it is still in question. but antibodies develop the cell, immunity develops, and we can be sure that a person after vaccination will be safe for some time, at least for half a year, or 2, the bigger it's the primitive

it's more so she passed by and merican psychological john lives the way he proposes that there's a gene that these people carry that goes into being very effective in situations where not taking other people's emotional needs into account is actually quite effective and uses the example of hunter gathering societies or vikings where being a warrior who's remorseless and relentless in your pursuit if you are desires and goals is actually quite helpful but in a modern society where we're all supposed to be networked and part of social groupings around each other being a sort of lone wolf who's not accountable and doesn't really think about other people's emotional responses to our actions isn't very valuable and actually gets you labeled as a psychopath and a deviant and a widow but if we were able to find a way to sort of encouraged sika pass through a process that rather than punishment encouragement to try and get in to identify more pro-social girls and to understand how other people will respond to that more unappealing social traits that say that that's a callous behavior for the pe

well, you mentioned remote surgeries, how reliable is 5 gene that respect? yes, actually we started talking about this specifically me with practice group. there was a pioneer of robotic surgery and it happens to be a king. so we started the whole field. and, you know, initially i got a lot of, you know, a lot of reservations also from the press and that made, you know, god was really quick as i say, because it's now becoming mainstream on offer a shell in china. it's been started to be used during the fight. you have designed 5 to be very reliable. so we talk in terms of reliability and how many nines b.i.v. are percentages you have it is very reliable. but still we need to build it as a restriction that if there's a package out that you know the robot on doesn't move in the way it weighs. so we, this is being done from a, from a robotics point of view. but we also need to make sure that security is very reliable because you don't want anybody to back into it alive or what accessories, and then cause havoc. so we have quite a bit of work still to be done to

do we have our priorities straight here, gene?well, look, the main thing i would say -- and i think a lot of economists on both sides would agree. there just isn't this trade off between opening the economy and dealing with the coronavirus. i think that i am like tens of millions of people out there. we're not going out into restaurants regardless of whether they're open or not because we're worried about our safety. so if you do not have the confidence for people to be safe, you're never going to get the foot traffic, the demand. so there's not a trade-off. if there's anything we should be learning is that you must contain the virus in order to open the economy. they are not a trade-off. it is one and the same. and i think joe biden's making that very clear. and look, you know, nobody's preventing me from going to travel or go someplace now, but most families aren't doing it because they're scared. you have to control the virus. and these small businesses, what they want is some help, as you said, don. you know, the ppp, the smal

good we have some genetic evidence some genetic research as well that suggests that as a assess it genes that seem to be linked to the way that people develop as children and that some of those children with those genes will then go on to becomes our past but not all of them and i think as a surprise it's more interesting to think about well if there are these all side of us have these these brain wiring just functions what they all in prison want they all criminals and there's a an interesting case of professor jim fallon he's ever such a psychological researcher and united states as part of a study scan his own brain using a technique called positron emission tomography pet scan and he didn't realize what he done but he actually put its own brain scan into the sokal he was looking at and he realized that this person who scanners are can have very high all of the physiological in the case of psychopathy but he lived to a normal life and this is his brain he did the normal life he had a successful career in research and yet he had all of that is logical characteristics of a psychopath so

a spike protein gene. modified virus then resemble sars kovi 2 in one key respect immune system detects the offending protein and creates antibodies in response. to the safety requirements for growing the virus not as strict as within activated whole virus vaccines of. disadvantages are that it takes a lot of time and you have to choose vectors that are not affected by any preexisting immune response capability. and. then there are vaccines that use messenger. or an egg for the novel coronavirus is m.r. and a with instructions for making it spiked proteins. such vaccines prompt cells in the recipient to make such proteins themselves which in turn provoke an immune response although these proteins are not dangerous they are still identified as enemies by the immune system which then creates antibodies and thus immunity. for. one advantage is that the safety requirements are much less stringent. another is that you can modify the r.n.a. quite quickly money a factor of say that within a short period of time p

and as you said it's gene-based. normal way of making a vaccine is you find a way to present to your immune system a protein, something that's on the outside of a virus or a bacteria so your immune system can react to that and so when you see the actual virus or bacteria you're protected. have you created antibodies and other protection. this works differently. it injects knew a good evening based material that causes your own cells to make a protein that's normally found on the outside of the coronavirus. it's called a spike protein. and so this gene based material goes into your own cells make this spike protein and then your immune system responds to that spike protein. it's different from other approaches that development of these type of vaccines can occur much, much faster and the results that we're seeing so far are really highly encouraging. the big concern and question is given that it's new there will only be about two months of safety data on this before it's likely they are going to be available to people
