amazingly neighboring trees do the same even if they're not under attack forestry expert peter ball even explains the warmer trees talk to each other and you can understand them by listening in on one for their. does that mean that trees are some kind of language and what exactly do they talk about. it turns out that oaks emit odor signals in response to pest interest ations and those molecules trigger a protective reaction in adjacent trees although it's not clear how this works so but what if the neighbors are on the wrong side wind wise are they then not party to the conversation. that's where the wood wide web comes in trees and signals to the fungus nestling around the roots which relay them via the underground network. this rapidly puts the other trees on alert so that they can prepare their own defenses. but does that count as a language with humans this involves not just exchanging signals but words they convey information through conscious meaning associated with certain sounds so someone who speaks a foreign language who might not understand sri has been intrigued. so trees do

that is what peter navorro did on sunday accusing the cdc of dropping the ball early in this response to the coronavirus. >> early on in this crisis the cdc, which really had the most trusted brand around the world in this space let the country down with the testing because not only did they keep the testing within the bureaucracy, they had a bad test. that did set us back. >> reporter: now navorro is hitting the mark there as far as some of the critical errors the cdc made earlier on. they had an issue with manufacturing the early coronavirus test that led to delays of three weeks. what we now know is that there have been several other missteps. why is navorro signaling out the cdc. there are rising tensions between the white house and the cdc. at the cdc, we know they had developed the 68 page very detailed guidelines on how businesses and states can begin to reopen. the white house just a few days ago released just a six-page document shelving much of the detail that cdc officials had tried to offer to businesses. christine, laura. >> jeremy diamond, thank you so much for that. >>>
