hi, my name is shivika from imperial college.that in the near term there is a future for airborne because google investing in airborne wind turbine system, we've already seen one — first wind turbine system in germany, so what is the future of that technology? so, we've had land, we've had sea and now we're asking about air turbines. i'm fascinated to hear the answer to this. for those who haven't heard about this concept — the airborne—based wind farms are essentially like kites or tethered aeroplanes that are released up into the very high atmospheres, essentially at a very high altitude. they circulate and move around in the sky and generate electricity through their motion. generally they're much more costly than traditional wind or solar, and there's the challenge of taking an efficient power off of that kite or aircraft. so i think there will be a niche for this. certainly i don't want to depress anyone�*s ideas about going after new technologies, but it's very much a smaller opportunity in terms of new potential cost reduc

study is found that alcohol listening to more cancer than previously thought . researches as imperial college founded and found drinking is connected to a number of kansas including bows and the head and neck bow, breast and liver. alcohol can cause mutations and dna and decrease levels of hormones linked to breast cancer. on the other hand, at least one cup of coffee a day, it was found to protect against liver cancer. you would have a true is director of research and innovation at the world cancer research fund. they funded that report we just mentioned. she joins us now from kind of martha and brief. thank you for your time. the, the thought about why exactly does alcohol cause cancer? this one, thank you very much for having me, uncle who has been going to several conscious and we started pretty much confirms that the everything she's pretty strong. your question about the what are the mechanisms involved? i'll go home. i will, i will, after they had asked them the high, which is a type one casino and so pretty much, you know, it's a chemical leaks like us, you know, that we get to not ou

we did this with imperial college, the 5 the jap costs about $1.20 to produce and then now sending it for $20.00 of those. that's not, it doesn't a reasonable profit. that is profiteering from people suffering. and until we break through these monopolies and we drive them as prices, we're not going to be able to afford to vaccinate well. so at the moment it looks very black and white, but the solutions are a very, it's not about suddenly putting all these firms out business, it's about them having a license, being able to make a decent profit, but also enabling manufacturers as we saw all over the world to also produce these incredibly successful and wonderful faxing. so everyone, not just my mother, but elderly people in africa, health work because in india, everyone gets jobs. that's totally possible. we could do it within months and yet we're not going to many people die. why do appreciate both of you coming on. c to the program, it seems that the conclusion is, is thought shad vaccines really means that the pandemic and sooner which i think is in everyone's best interest. so i app

and paul elliot, professor of epidemiology and public health medicine at imperial college london, who of the react programme. paul, good to have you with us. what do you think of the idea of vaccinating 16 and 17—year—old? we vaccinating 16 and 17-year-old? we have vaccinating 16 and 17—year—old? - have just completed the 13th round of our reactor survey will be go to large numbers of the population and “p large numbers of the population and up to mid—july... react survey. we were finding high levels of infection under the age of 2a and really evidence that the epidemic at that time was being driven by younger people, unvaccinated younger people. so anything we can do to improve vaccination rates, including going to below the age of 18, clearly will be a good thing. to get as many people vaccinated as possible, with both doses of the vaccine, so when we going into the autumn and winter period, we have as much protection as possible. this would be, assuming this goes ahead, vaccinating 16 and 17—year—olds, about reducing immunity transmission and the benefits that would bring, rather t

a report from imperial college london's institute of global health innovation suggests evidence is alsosor at the university of melbourne's nossal institute for global health and the author of the book climate, health and courage. he has seen first hand the impact of climate change and anxiety in australia, which has been ravaged by natural disasters. hejoins me now from melbourne. thank you very much for being on the programme. climate anxiety sounds like a bit of a label that could potentially be attributed to everyday concerns and worries. is it real and is it specifically because of climate change?- it specifically because of climate change? yes, as a clinical gp. _ climate change? yes, as a clinical gp, it's _ climate change? yes, as a clinical gp, it's certainly i climate change? yes, as a clinical gp, it's certainly a| clinical gp, it's certainly a real— clinical gp, it's certainly a real phenomena, i see it amongst patients, particularly young — amongst patients, particularly young patients who are really worried — young patients who are really worried about it. it's not a techn

we worked with engineers at imperial college to model out what would it take to produce enough coronavirus for just $3 a dose the u.s. government could produce 8 billion doses, which would be enough for low and middle income countries within one year. we need the biden administration to back up its wartime rhetoric with wartime action. >> and i think zain rizvi the moral case doesn't appeal to folks, it's also worth understanding for americans that when the rest of the world is unvaccinated the rest of the world essentially functions as a virus mutation laboratory creating variants that will then spread even to vaccinated, highly vaccinated places. zain rizvi, thank you so much for being with us. coming up at the top of the hour on "the week with joshua johnson" -- florida's agricultural commissioner nikki fried in her bid to unseat governor ron desantis. also the battle over children wearing masks at school. stick around for that. we'll be right back. as someone who resembles someone else... i appreciate that liberty mutual knows everyone's unique. that's why they customize your car insur

a massive international dump, all kinds of data from south africa, public health in england, imperial colleged. all incredible stuff, folks read this on line and wonder where our officials are. what is the hold up with respect communicating this to the white house and maybe them communicating to us? i know some reporter brought up the fact there are not a lot of doctors assigned to the meetings at white house, that we have, that the public has? >> thanks for having me on and i think as you pointed out everyone knows there has been a lot of miscommunication, a lot of mismanagement of the information. i think the biggest telltale sign when you look at cdc's internal presentation quoting data from canada, israel because we don't have at that for ourselves. the most important thing for viewers to know, vaccine work against particularly against delta. india reversed trend because 70% of people have antibodies n uk, 90% of the people have antibodies. we're getting close to that point. we're still rising, but as more and more people get vaccinated we're clearly approaching the range of population im

achieve all they can achieve and beyond through the means of technology in london educators at imperial collegering the concept of modern day cyborgs by attaching a mechanical thumb. to a piano player's hand. musician taps their foot, which triggers an electrical signal causing their 11th finger to move researchers say it took about an hour, but the players brains were able to recognize. is the new digit and adapt to using it at the start disputes. maybe a bit more like a tool that is attached to you like, you know, you're holding a drumstick but you know, after an hour or two, it just feels like an extension of you but having an extra finger can do more than help you play an instrument the technology could be tweaked to let people type and text faster hold more bags during a trip to the grocery store and more. we don't impress technologist and we're not moving olympic marathon runner and world record holder l you'd kipchoge e may not be getting outfitted with a robotic thumb but like many athletes he uses special carbon fiber sneakers which helped him run faster begging the question just how f

i'm joined now by professor peter 0penshaw, professor of experimental medicine at imperial college londonas you are concerned, one of the most —— what are the most significant findings of this survey? well, i think it's very _ findings of this survey? well, i think it's very interesting - findings of this survey? well, i think it's very interesting to i findings of this survey? well, i think it's very interesting to be able to look in detail at how the different vaccines compare, using these very, very large databases that we have in the uk. i think it showsjust that we have in the uk. i think it shows just what that we have in the uk. i think it showsjust what can that we have in the uk. i think it shows just what can be done if you can tap into the sort of resources that the office for national statistics has, and combine that with all of the work that is being donein with all of the work that is being done in oxford on the vaccines. and i think what it shows is that these two main vaccines being used, the pfizer—biontech and the astrazeneca vaccine from oxford, seem to operate in a sli

he's a professor of experimental medicine at imperial college london. again. does this make sense to vaccinate 16 and 17 euros?- again. does this make sense to vaccinate 16 and 17 euros? yes, i think it does. — vaccinate 16 and 17 euros? yes, i think it does. some _ vaccinate 16 and 17 euros? yes, i think it does. some have - vaccinate 16 and 17 euros? yes, i think it does. some have been . think it does. some have been calling for wider vaccination amongst younger children, but it is very contentious. and i think thejc vi is quite right to move gradually, if that is what they're going to do, we're still waiting for the announcement. but i think is the right thing to start extending vaccination down into older teenagers. we know that they have very high of infection. if you're not aware infection is raising in society, it is in those age groups. there is a balance between potential side—effects and the damage that covid can do, but this age group hasn't had the benefit of being infected in very early childhood as with other common coronaviruses, so the

earlier i spoke to professor peter 0penshaw, professor of experimental medicine at imperial college londongs from the study. i think it is really interesting to be able to look at that in detail, at how the different vaccines compare, using these very, very large databases that we have in the uk, and i think it shows just what can be done if you can tap into the sort of resources that the office for national statistics has and to combine that with all of the work that been done in oxford on the vaccines. i think what it shows is that these two main vaccines being used, the pfizer biontech and the astrazeneca vaccine from oxford, seem to operate in a slightly different way, so the rna vaccine seems to deliver very rapid protection, but that doesn't maybe last as long as the protection which you can get against infection if you look at the results from the... so maybe it is inducing so different types of immunity. and with different characteristics, which is really important. but if both vaccines, both types of vaccine, are still offering good protection against the delta variance, what does

. >> so far, legal efforts to overturn college vaccine mandates have fallen flat. if federal imperialsfederal appeals court ruled against -- in indiana. one of the judges wrote, people who do not wish to be vaccinated can go elsewhere. the supreme court has upheld that ruling. o'neill seems unconcerned that unvaccinated young people will get infected and spread the virus to more vulnerable people. >> frankly, my age group is not nearly as affected by covid-19 as older generations are. >> that is a problem, says authorities. >> part of our educational responsibility is to talk to people not only about their rights, but their response abilities. liberal education, america's historic mission of educating democracy requires a we impart that message more than ever. >> surveys show the overwhelming majority of college students approve of campus vaccine mandates. >> new zealand has reported nine new cases of covid-19, taking its active total to 10. the government announced a three day lockdown when the first case was announced. before this week, there had been no local infections for six mont
