amazing. christian b is also under investigation on suspicion of murder in the mccann case, but hasn't been charged. he's denied any involvement, but at the behest of german on saturdays, a search is being carried out at the location in portugal. and to the investment, the icons give any concrete information on the clues on which the search operation is faced by the people. they're not the tips that come from the accused. but as you can imagine, we don't start a search in portugal on the off chance on does that. there has to be a good reason. and we have one bill. i ask for your understanding though, because i can't disclose it here for technical reasons. the police come to side months after mccann's disappearance, but divers only find animal remains there, hoping these new search results in a breakthrough in the case. well, the corona virus pandemic was not even one year old. when doctors begin giving 1st vaccine shots, it was made possible by a groundbreaking method using genetic material known as messenger r n a. now that technology is being used in other areas, for example, as a po
