the laboratory grew and oppenheimer grew with it. under the tutelage of his boss. we have a picture in the presentation today. the general was in charge of the entire manhattan project. you look at weapons design during the manhattan project. originally, we were focused on two different types of gun type weapons. everyone knows the uranium weapon. the plutonium weapon in the spring of 1944, just down the road from where we are, the plutonium would not work because of the pre-initiation problem. this was a significant setback for los alamos and the manhattan project. we were forced to look at it in a different way. up until that point, there were few people looking at implosion. instead of shooting things at each other, we're going to take a sphere of tony him surrounded with high explosives -- a sphere of plutonium surrounded with high explosives. that is more -- it is highly reliant on high explosives. there's no such thing as precision high explosives. complicated we don't know where it is in his quest to build the atomic bomb. oppenheimer organizes the laborator

to get the pathogens under control scientists in workshops and research laboratories are feverish lee looking for new solutions. can humans win the battle against germs. your hunnish rider and his 15 year old daughter palin or have traveled from a starting in in germany to and 2 up in belgium to try to get help dangerous germs keep cropping up in pounding as long as she wore a face mask long before the pandemic. i need the mask so that i don't infect other people and so that i don't infect myself with any germs. in belgium palin has lungs will be treated using a special therapy the clinic uses viruses known as bacteria phages or phage is for short which literally means bacteria eaters. do this and i forgive because often with for the past 3 years we've tried in vain to remove the germs from pollen as long with antibiotics and self. we've not been able to get them out completely. hoping in the spring friends told us about paige their appeal and after a long wait we're finally here today. and i hope the phages will bring us success in the next few weeks if they're fighting. these fires

we set off a trinity type gadget, here at the laboratory. and the only difference was there was no plutonium. we want to assess the speed of the explosion. now if you look at photographs we have here, this is a site, and crates was the scientist who was in charge of this and this is the creutz apparatus. and edward crates was in charge. and you can see the gadgets, and there's a technician in the foreground and the background, and they are supervising the explosives. a very interesting personality this person george, who is there. and you could find him on the internet. so he fought on the side of the monarchy during the russian civil war, he was able to escape. so when the bomb was set off, at 10:18, the initial results, as they were interpreted, indicated that it was not going to be -- fast enough to make it super critical. everyone is already completely on edge, but now is like it's not going to work. this was a complete disaster. you could see it did leave a nice hole in the ground. it's no longer there. but anyway, han's bethe he looked

but most surprising most forensic scientist spend more time doing documentation than they do in the laboratory. so a lot of the work is how do we communicate what we are doing in the lab for the criminal justice community. because that part of the job has very high consequences so the science and in some ways is easy compared to figure out how i will word this in my report to make sure people understand. so they spend a ton of time in conversations with one another talking about what's the best way to say that people understand? >> it makes me wonder which people because the science is going somewhere specific into the criminal justice community and you mentioned high-stakes. so what are they thinking about? what is in their head when they anticipate what might happen? >> there are basically there is the criminal justice community and those who don't know about science but do know the legal system and then the public who read about it and see it on tv. so ultimately the public is a part of who the audience will be. both sets of people the community of criminal justice and the public are scient

you know it was a point of which the head of then, head of the laboratory, laboratory in hawaii said if you're going to understand the forensic scientific process of identification, you need to go on a mission to see what a recovery mission is and that was, you know, without that -- step access this project would have been so different. so right, i accompanied a mission that recovery mission to central vietnam. it was a sorry it was ab 28-day archaeological dig we base camped which meant you know the structures for a rudimentary campus set up we spent the 28 days each day hiking up to a steep mountain slope, and to find remanes of a site ascertained a pinpointed helicopter crash so that was working with military incredibly fortunate -- teammates and in the end of it we recovered remains and those remains led to the story of meek el ray allen and so that gave me the last portion of my research which was to follow the remains back to the little town that had been the, you know, the locust of law. and the face of this celebrated home coming. the scope even a bit more because there that

so far these climate friendly plants only exist in the laboratory but the car and his doctoral student. have developed a computer model that shows what their super charged plants might one day be able to do. by passing photo respiration and modulating the metabolic network will keep carbon dioxide inside the plants instead of releasing it into the atmosphere plant's modified this way could bind 5 times as much c o 2. as a time in mathematical terms the model works that's a really important result that has come up with in her calculations. and that means that i can perfectly argument the blocking of c o 2 transport with the synthetic cycles. and. these computer simulations are being put to the test in abu dhabi. the university greenhouse is growing tomatoes and. will their supercharged plants have a higher yield and more c o 2. genetically modified plants are permitted in the united arab emirates under highly controlled conditions one day supercharged plants might be grown in secure greenhouses and the technology might also be used in other applications. trees for example could be enhan

oxy hydrogen every 2 hours the steel workers tap off the fresh pay die on samples are sent to the laboratory on site where the quality of the iron and other raw materials is checked for the hydrogen technique is also new territory for the engineers here. and of course to have us for being part of this transformation is a huge challenge it's not as easy as people might think that if we're now injecting hydrogen into the furnace that means our tests also have to be changed the composition of the gas is different and we might have to change other parameters to . see. in the labs trial fantasies the engineers carry out test runs with a variety of additives and gases. they need a huge amount of hydrogen which is also a major challenge. these blue cylinder supply just one of the furnace is 28 injection assholes. limits well at the moment we have 2 trucks delivering the hydrogen to us in rotation multiply that by 28 and you can see we have a crazy number of deliveries here it's not feasible over the long term which is why we're laying a pipeline. 130 kilometers south of deuce book is a company that

there was also another question where to put the central laboratory. he could not have it in chicago. what happens if an accident happens? also will be easy to breach the top security you know if you're walking down a street and involved in it? and somebody said i was not involved in it? there would be an easy way to break top secrecy on that. so they looked around the, pick some places. abe had come to new mexico to recover from an illness when when he was 18 years old and fallen in love with new mexico. at one point he said he wished he could marry the two loves of his life, physics and new mexico. that was before he got married. i want to be clear about that. this was an opportunity for him to do that. he showed groves some places around mexico and they settle on this boys school and lost alamos. after that was chosen in november of 1942, oppy started recruiting people. he could not tell them what he was doing. he would say i would love for you to join me on this project. but i can't really tell you what you will be doing. you'll be in a beautiful pl

so -- in the local laboratory and it's a central laboratory, 90.3%. so i mentioned in the presentation most of the dois corps adapt results were probably with the prolonged shipping time from some regions the study was conducted to the university of washington -- [inaudible] but all of the tests used in the local laboratories were all fda-authorized tests as well. >> okay. before the break we'll hear dr. stoyer. [inaudible conversations] >> there you go. go ahead. >> my question relates to slide, it's on the same topic of the pdr testing, relates to a slide in dr. zhang's testing as well as table 18 in the briefing document. although there's concordance, as you just stated, in general between the testing done at the site and the centrally-concurrent testing, in this table all of the differences appear to be in the placebo group which seems a little bit odd. are we to interpret in general that one of these tests is more sensitive and the other is less specific? or how are you interpreting the differences? >> i'm sorry, i'll have to find the table you're

the protocol. we will also include results of positive pcr from a local laboratory still awaiting confirmation by the central laboratory to increase the number of cases by the estimate. the study population are shown the slide and the full analysis includes all participants with the vaccine administration. this includes all participants in the full analysis that have logic of the baseline. the safety has set's participants and through the 28 days. at the time of the primary analysis the median follow-up duration and the efficacy and safety was eight weeks postvaccination and this was enrollment by comorbidity resulted in different follow-up with approximately two weeks difference in the follow-up time between the first group which held participants 18-59 without committees and the last group enrolled 60 years and older with comorbidity. next we will take a closer look at the efficacy results we studied 3001. staples showed the demographic of the protocol sets which was a pop elation used for efficacy. the demographic placebo participants were similar and the study was about 20% participants, 65 years

we have not seen that provided by the laboratory there we have not seen it provide by dr. sak task all requested by the nih it will require a lot of stuff that i'm not sure we'll be able to get. steve: and back to, i mentioned it, in my -- introduction, but state department fact sheet that was published which specified in clear terms, that the first people who got the disease, got covid, were those who worked at the institution. -- institute. they have a specific question on the end, any credible inquiry into origins of the virus must include interviews with these researchers at the lab, and a full accounting of previously unreported illness, that seems to be a far simpler ask, one that is more likely to be delivered. if it turns out first people that got the disease worked in the lab, just a -- you just before the outbreak. fall of 2019, that is something that will be easier to understand and get to the bottom of than all of this genetic information that seems so hard to get hold of. >> you know, any reasonable investigation of any kind would provide some protection for th

that is how big the laboratory was. don't have a character that i can spin out through the course of the book, and instead what i have are lot of vignettes, a lot of stories, that i'm linking together to write a larger story that gives you a picture of what a criminalist does every day. so, that means that what i spend time doing, like my analysis process, is to think about, well, what is important here? so, for instance, the story i just told you about tim's shoeprint case and going to court, one of the things i discovered immediately, the first day i went to a crime lab, people were constantly talking, in the halls to each other, to me, about going to court. and i had originally thought, i'm going to be going court a lot. better dress differently, and then over time -- i gave everybody my card and said tell me when you're going to court i'll meet you because they were so corned but going to court and worried and talked a lot loud about what happens in court and how you get treated when you go to court and are you able

i spent time with almost 60 people, like that's a big the laboratory was. i don't have a character that i can spin out through the course of the book. instead what i have a lot of vignettes, a lot of stories, and i'm linking together to write a larger story that gives you a picture of what a criminalist does every day. that means that what i spend time doing, like my analysis process is to think about what's important. the story i just told you about, the shoe print case and going to court, one of the things i discovered immediately, the first and went to a crime lab, people were constantly talking in the halls to each other, to me about going to court. i had originally thought i'm going to be going to court a lot. i better dress differently. and then over time, i gave everybody my card and i said come when you come to court i will meet you and go to court with you. because there are so concerned about going to court, worried and he talked a lot about what happens in court and how you get treated when you go to court and are you able to be credible and how n

i hope so we know that you have one job on the frontlines and as the saying goes on the laboratories of democracy. the challenges can provide lessons for everybody and to be a model for everybody. the storms they had the south were a painful reminder challenges don't stop at the borders of our states or make distinctions on the states. today i want to focus on two of those challenges of covid and the economy. you know better than i do the ability to deal with one is the ability to address the other our nation passed a grim milestone, covid-19 is now taken over 500,000 fellow americans is more than died in world war i, world war ii and vietnam were combined that's in the population of the largest cities in the state or territory are gone and as a country we have to remember those that were left behind because as we remember we have to act two and the politics of misinformation and it cost too many lives already we have to fight this to together as one to state the obvious and not only understand it but you over standard in the united states of america and to come together to issue a mo

the high security at the laboratory is purely a precautionary measure because the side effects of the failures are not yet known . the doctors determine the dose individually for each patient. so far power lena has tolerated the phages while she's supposed to inhale the viruses one past time in a clinic then she can continue the therapy at home so it is good for life feels like my lungs have already become of this clear apart from a cough and my voice goes sounds a bit strange now but they're letting me go home today. no longer anything. paulina is supposed to inhale the pages several times a day for 3 weeks if the virus therapy does not bring the desired results she faces a 2nd round this time intravenously with a needle and she would have to go to antwerp for 4 weeks. that's something her father and the doctors would like to avoid. so let's hope that the air is also known will be definitely don't have to come back for the 2nd part of the treatment that will follow it up in the next 2 weeks we will be checking her sputum sample every week and we'll have to see whether or not and at w

some had been calling the laboratory leak theory a conspiracy from the start.by the fact that you were rolling it out before you even came? fix, were rolling it out before you even came?— even came? a large group of exerts even came? a large group of experts looked _ even came? a large group of experts looked at _ even came? a large group of experts looked at this - even came? a large group of experts looked at this and i even came? a large group of l experts looked at this and they have been to the labs around the region and spoken to people and asked critical questions got critical answers and they came to the conclusion and i have as well. what they say is that it have as well. what they say is thatitis have as well. what they say is that it is extremely unlikely and that stands. covid devastated this city first and for now its origins remain almost as much of a mystery as before. let's get more on this now from level bio security professor in new south wales. she had the bio security programme, you have something like a 28 year record in pandemics. what do y

in wuhan. >> the findings suggest the laboratory incidents hypothesis is extremely unlikely and to explain an introduction of the virus into the human population. >> the most pressing question, identifying the intermediary species remains a work in progress. brent: let's take a look at the other developments in this pandemic. german chancellor angela merkel says she wants to extend the country's current coronavirus lockdown until march. her government will leave -- will meet with the 16 states tomorrow to decide on lengthening the shutdown. greece's prime minister has announced a full lockdown for athens. beginning thursday, schools and all nonessential shops will have to close. russia has issued updated statistics on coronavirus related deaths. more than 162,000 people died last year of covid-19. that is much higher than previously reported. protesters in myanmar had staged a fourth day of demonstrations against the military coup that ousted the civilian government last week. security forces have responded with water cannon and tear gas and there are reports of poli

the canyon school has been converted into maybe a laboratory, a complex of some sort. i went to sixth grade there and started in seventh at a new high school. football and basketball, they did them all. football was where the airstrip was, right on the right-hand side. robert mckee, who was the primary project director at the time, built that. there was an incinerator next to the football field where all the garbage was collected and put and burnt. the first coach was mr. mick williams. after he left, robert cox came by. when world war ii broke out, as i mentioned, there was a relocation camp in santa fe that i remember my father showing to us where back then, president roosevelt issued an executive order to round up the japanese americans because of fear that they might be working with japan, declaring war on the united states. i remember passing by and you could see him behind the barbed wire and that was probably one of the sore spots in american history that we committed, civil rights, whatever. that finally got clarified. i talk about the military. they were there

we will have probably two more with pretty much all the laboratories making all the available vaccinesworld at this very moment. i think this choice remains a relevant choice because, if we had not done so at the eu level, i think we would be now in a competition between member states, between countries, trying to get the doses that the neighbour would not get. so i think it gives us strength. it made us stronger in the negotiation to get this access to a diversified portfolio of vaccines. we will need this because we are at the beginning of the campaign. we have now three vaccines available, authorised in the eu and delivered across the member states. we will need more. so i think this was a relevant choice to have this eu joint purchase agreement. well, you say it gives europe strength, minister, but many european citizens would say that what it has brought to europe is a great deal of delay. and the cold, hard truth is that, in france, only 3% or so of your population has had a first dose of vaccine, while you look across the channel, to the united kingdom, where the number is close

retrospect, and certainly not anything i thought of while i was there, i think those tubes were the laboratory prototypes of the tubes that they used to separate the two components of the uranium 235 and 238. and it made me think that the tubes that cheney saw before he decided to go into the iraq war, were probably the kinds of tubes i was fiddling around with at the time. do you want more of my life? interviewer: yeah, go ahead. james: ok. after they dropped the bomb, most of the scientists were transferred to los alamos, the underlings like myself got laid off, and i got a job working at the columbia broadcasting system. and i continued my college studies. i was going to school at night. so while i worked on the manhattan project, i would take the train from 125th street and harlem to stuyvesant and avenue in brooklyn. 37 minutes, i will never forget the exact time. [laughter] and that was my life. the knights that i went -- the nights that i went to school, i would take the trolley car to brooklyn college. and that was my life. and i got a job at cbs which turned out to be very fortunate,

i would like to welcome everyone virtually to the laboratory here. mike: any of our journalists callings have been in this room who actually celebrated all the mars plantings everin accomplisd what humankind right here in this room. i miss the fact that you're not here with us today. we see have the lab buzzing with thousands of folks but because of covid-19 were doing this remotely. but i still hope you feel part of this and engage us with questions and follow-up. we have a fantastic project team. there is no question about it . matt wallace and talk a lot more about that team. but i also want to notice the rest of jpl. it really took a lot of folks working together to make this mission successful and of course working on other missions other than mars perseverance as well. we've had to keep this missions going in march 2020 going. but he is our cio office to make can work in a virtual sense remotely. and of course were keeping everyone safe in terms of ppe and facility changes. we sort of had to change the tires as we were going down the highway sta

no, they haven't spoken about the laboratory yet, the trump - the laboratory yet, the trump administrationoratory here which studies coronaviruses in bats, but we have not got to that yet, it has all been about the animals in artic theory, that somehow or other, this coronavirus has come from an animal, perhaps via another animal into human beings, and this being the most likely to be bats and pangolins, but other animals also like cats as seen as being able to carry the virus. they say they are not sure and more work needs to be donein not sure and more work needs to be done in this area. also, that more work needs to be done to find out how it got into that market. interestingly, they say they can't find three december 2019, any evidence at all of why it spread —— of widespread transmission in wuhan. —— pre—december. so it started at that point and they say they can't track it back any further at the moment. i guess that means it either started then or it has come from somewhere else in china, or i guess they are open to the possibility it started somewhere overseas and has travelled to

place. >> when it comes to entry, descent, and landing, al chen is the man in the hot seat at nas' jet propulsion laboratory11 minutes for radio signals to travel the speed of light from earth to mars-- too much lag time for chen and his teamto remotely pilot the rover. so perseverance must landau ton muffle. >> and that's kind of one of te central challenges, i think, of landing on mars. we can't participate. we can't guide it. we can't pilot it on its own. we have to train perseverance to do it on her own. >> reporter: it all culminates with what's called the sky train. retrorockets fire on the descent stage, and the rover is wenched down on the surface on tethers. it all may seem a little hair-brained, but the one time nasa tried it with the curiosity rover in 2012, it worked like a charm. perseverance is aiming for the jezero crater, which may hold the answer to the big question: did life once exist on the planet next door? laurie glaze heads nasa's planetary science division. >> jezero really stood out as a potential landing site because within that crater, we can see absolute evidence that there was a

december 2019 the team says its initial findings debunk claims that the disease originated in the laboratory however the u.s. thinks beijing is hiding facts from the experts. science needs to lead us out of this pandemic and in preventing the next one geo political battling has already made that path harder it's time to trust in the global systems we set up after world war 2 and give them a chance china gave them very controlled and limited access and got a report that was inconclusive and supports narrative we asked me a dead calf about how much access his team had in he says that beijing has been transparent. how successful was our mission i believe that we have fulfilled our program this was only the 1st part of our investigation and we didn't expect to determine the origin of the pandemic already w.h.o. team and chinese specialists work together as scientists it was something like a huge conference where we shared opinions and information analyzed scientific literature that already exists discussed hypotheses and assessed possibilities i see no reason for the chinese side to hide anythin

i would add on the commercial laboratory front, we are scaling up the number of sequences generated by commercial labs. a lot of these sequencing with focus on the job pattern and trying to identify b117. we've shifted to have contracts focus more on having large commercial laboratories doing random specimen sequencing. we hope to get relatively large numbers have representative specimens. it is an ongoing challenge and i think we can never be perfectly representative but we are getting relatively close to what we need to be able to have a represented denominator to understand what the virus is doing in terms of background circulation. regardingg systematically lookig at a viral breakthrough, another couple things, cdc largely does in agencies space, we are actively working a combination of acquire and culture variant concerns as they arise as well as characterized immunological breakthroughs using previously vaccinated individuals in addition, we have currently established protocol and we are currentlyy conducting trying to acquire and characterize instances of vaccine breakthrough an

we will be able to see if there is life there and we will likely see it back here on earth in the laboratories deaths in the united states has passed half a million. it's the first country to do so. the bells on the national cathedral in washington tolled 500 times to honour the victims. bells toll 500,000 lives are more than were lost by the us in both world wars and the vietnam war — combined. the pandemic is still claiming 2,000 americans every day, and there has been widespread economic hardship. president biden has ordered flags on federal buildings to be flown at half mast for five days as a mark of respect to those who have lost their lives. just before he and the vice president led a moment's silence, he had these words for americans. as we all remember, i also ask us to act to remain vigilant, to stay socially distanced, to mask up, get vaccinated when it is your turn. we must end the politics of misinformation that has divided families, communities and the country and has cost too many lives already. it is not democrats and republicans who are dying from the virus, it's our fellow am

. >> when we get those samples ck in the laboratory, that's what's going to give us our best opportunityor not some of those molecules that we're finding are actually biologic molecules.

1st flight this rover is an epic after it it represents. 8 years of hundreds of engineers at the laboratory thousands around the world a total of over 4 founds and human years of investment. and already a detail in this picture has caught scientists attention that rock on the left the one that looks like a hunk of swiss cheese and there are a number of different geological processes that can make holes in iraq like that and to the science team is now thinking about what this might mean and one of the questions we'll ask 1st is whether these rocks represent a volcanic or sedimentary origin and both of those would be equally exciting to the team ultimately perseverance may dig up evidence that life existed on mars at some point in the ancient past that could be a sign that life is widespread in our solar system our galaxy and the far flung reaches of the universe and that we are not alone robert oulds al-jazeera los angeles. time for a quick check of the top stories here on al-jazeera u.s. president joe biden has declared his country's back sweeping away donald trump's america 1st foreign pol

there is a very careful discussion going on to say what can we understand from the laboratory? can we understand from animal models? and how much clinical data do we need to get to really understand the impact of the variants on how effective the vaccine is going to be? because clearly we cannot keep these huge clinical trials every time we get a new variant. it is simply not feasible. so we are trying to find alternative ways to give us a good idea of how effective a vaccine is likely to be as we get these new variants. for south africa, we changed to the johnson & johnson because we do have some clinical data generated from south africa in a clinical trial early on alongside lab data that suggests this vaccine will be effective. that was one of the reasons why we made that switch. hashem: when president emmanuel macron said it was about time for the european countries and the u.s. to set aside 5% of their own vaccines to be distributed amongst poorer nations, do you see those countries responding positively when you know that ultimately every leader would say it is safe to wa

flipping that policy and confronting the policy whether it was things that happen in laboratories or issues, or hong kong, tibet, or the uighurs. they talk about it being a competitor. a competitor is someone you try to outdo in the marketplace and do a project for a nickel cheaper and win it. these people are an adversary. this is not someone you compete with. this is someone you confront and challenge and deliver good outcomes to protect americans workers from the behavior the chinese government has engaged in for a long time. jesse: it's reported that hunter bind still has a lucrative stake in a chinese enterprise he has notley question dated so far. when you view joe biden's china agenda -- just as an american, not as a politician. but as an american, do those financial entanglements that have been well reported, does that make you suspicious any time joe biden does anything with china? any time i see joe do anything with china, i guess suspicious. i think there are other things at play here. do you have that same feeling? >> it's common sense. if your family has a financial inter

people worked in other areas, separated plutonium from the other stuff, nor could they go in the laboratory or where the fuel production was made. only with a good excuse to find out some particular problem related to the reactor. in my case, i wanted to know something about i could go some other place, but nobody ever talked about what they were doing. it was quite interesting. >> whatever you're doing with your hands, it is making a squeak. you are rubbing their hands on the bottom of the chair. roger: you can hear that? >> it is a pretty sensitive microphone. anybody else have anything? >> when you found out it was a bomb, what was your reaction? roger: when the official news came out that it is the bomb, it is kind of a surprise and relief. well, i suspected something like that. but i think most of us did not. then we got all the stories about, didn't you know what they were doing? they were sticky stuff in a reactor. -- yeah, they were sticking stuff in a reactor. maybe 95% did not know it would end up as an item bomb -- atom bomb. >> how did attitudes change the next day you came back
