julie norman is a lecturer and researcher on middle east politics at university college london.n there is no challenge to president bashar al—assad what is the significance of these elections? well, that said, we know these elections will go the same way the previous parliamentary elections have gone throughout the war which is with the baath party dominating so this is an election for show. what has changed, though, is that the regime is in charge of much more of the country now than they were since the last election in 2016. at that election the government only controlled 20% of the country and they now control 70%, so it is away for bashar al—assad to show his own legitimacy within the country by showing that he has this kind of extensive reach now, showing that people are coming out to the polls across the country in support of him and for the baath party and their allies. this is of course against the backdrop of massive economic catastrophe in syria. you are speaking about the catastrophe in lebanon, that has impacted syria as well, so, even though this is a political mome

as they are talking via zoom with midwives from university couege zoom with midwives from university college londone they had the baby, thanking them for their work, having a conversation with them. that wasn't so long ago but it came just after borisjohnson himself had been in hospital with coronavirus and became very ill. a nice photo on the front of the papers. he talked about losing weight. he says he lost 1.5 stones. yes, one stone, although he doesn't recommend as a form of weight loss, going into icu. he talks about the nation getting healthier going forward. thank you very much indeed, jessica parker. a summit of eu leaders in brussels will reconvene later for an unplanned third day as they try to reach agreement on an economic stimulus package, and their next budget. the leaders are continuing to haggle over conditions that may be attached to aid for the member states worst affected by covid—19. james ra nsley reports. negotiations long into the night but still no deal on the coronavirus economic rescue package. translation: we need to get a result. unfortunately, at the end of this day we

michie is professor of health psychology and director of the centre for behaviour change at university college london sits on the government's behavioural science advisory group. thank you very much for being with us on thank you very much for being with us on bbc news. good evening and less to see you again. what do you make of this debate over her face coverings in terms of peoples behaviour? we had the prime minister talking about the restriction of approaches and michael gove saying that people go to the stage with a c it is good manners when they go into an enclosed space. 0ver it is good manners when they go into an enclosed space. over the past few weeks they have demonstrated that an enclosed area of public spacing, it is better to use face masks and so the question is, how do we bring that about as quickly as possible, given that we are a society that has no cultural history of wearing face coverings and i think what is needed in that situation is a very good public information campaign that explains why people should be wearing face coverings indoors, enclosed spaces because it is not good

researchers at the university college london hospital find that covid-19 can cause neurologic complicationsmage and even fatal brain inflammation. the findings suggest that it's likely a result of the immune response rather than the virus itself and one patient reported hallucinations including sees lions and monkeys in her home. we continue to learn how vicious this virus can be and how it can attack the entire body on such a big scale. patients who survive can suffer long-term effects, some report symptoms for weeks and even months. my next guest chelsea is among the long-term covid sufferers and battling the virus for months and helping others with symptoms like hers. thank you for telling us what you're going through. >> thank you. today marks 122 days with covid-19. it's been a nightmare since the first day. i am presently back at -- i have -- hearing in my right. my resting heart rate in the 130s, 140s and seems to be -- in the 170s. my speech has been altered within the last couple of days also. and i suffer from a lot of brain fog that a lot of people also suffer from, as well. >> >

a study by researchers at university college london details how covid-19 can cause neurological complications. among them, stroke, nerve damage, and potentially fatal brain inflammation. some patients experience what's described as temporary brain dysfunction, but the virus does not appear to draektly affect the brain. doctor, thank you for coming on and good morning. >> good morning, natalie. this is a very troubling development. what can you tell us? how much is known about it? >> so we knew there was a potential for the coronavirus to cause brain damage from sars in 2003 and mers in 2012, but the numbers were small. and then when the first papers came out from wuhan in early january, they suggested about 56 patients in their group but no symptoms. what's not clear is whether it was due to low oxygen levels, very sick with sepsis or was there actual brain damage in the patients? our study found that some patients presented with inflammation of the brian. this may be due to over stimulation of the nervous system. we have seen this before particularly in children after virus infections. a lar

mala manny, from university college london. she's reviewed these findings in this study. you for being here. this is a big study and getting attention as it joins a growing body of evidence that natural immunity to this virus does not last as long as we hoped. what sticks out to you here? >> well, this is a study to look for this length of time, 90 days after infection. and to start to give us more information about the duration of immunity. up until now what it is showing is that in patients with a severe illness of covid, they mount a stronger response that is shown by a number of studies already. then they have to stockpile the infection and so they seem to last the longest which is the good news people who had a bad outcome, if they survive, they will have longer lasting immune responses, majority have still good antibodies at 90 days. what they found, if you have a mild infection, like a lot of people do, it is similar to the common cold coronavirus infection where it goes away quickly and by 90 days the ones that are important for blocking the entry of the virus wil

he's in washington, a lecturer in political science at university college london. good to see you.you for coming on. >> thank you, natalie. >> the president's speech was divisive. he spoke from the same play book. let's listen here to one quote. >> our children are taught in school to hate their own country and to believe that the men and women who built it were not heroes but that were villains, the radical view of american history is a web of lies. >> and that was just one quote. you hardly heard anything about unity in his speech, and a former u.s. ambassador to russia said it was perhaps the most un-american speech given by a president on the fourth of july. what do you think of his message which basically was centered on protecting controversial monuments and of course he had harsh words for people who want to take them down. >> well, natalie, i think last night was a harbinger of what was seen by trump between now and november, stoking division, and it wasn't at all a united speech as you said on the eve of july 4th, and the terminology used, phrases like new far left fascism

professor of work and education economics at the institute of education, which is part of university college of londonut trying to get children back to school. let's start with one from nicola featherstone. who asks about children being interested in education. the fantasy of both... we will take a look first. you'll make some schools will be going back in late august. schools in leicester, they tend to go back in the last week of august and despite what has happened in leicester at the moment, they are still hoping to do that. no schools will be going back in early september. his ambition to see all children back in school full—time from september. i think the idea they go back before that is they would be very much the joy of the teaching unions and from teachers. they have been doing rote learning and keeping schools open for key worker children and vulnerable children. i think they deserve a summer holiday. your thoughts? it's a good question and i agree that teachers are some of the hardest working groups of employees in our economy. nevertheless, education are so economy. nevertheless, education

awkward greeting with professor susan mickey who heads up the centre for behaviour change at university college londonl to the handshake? farewell to the handshake. and i will not shake you on that. there is no doubt that shaking hand spreads germs. this study compared a normal handshake with a fist bump and found that germ transfer was 90% lower when bumping fists. so is this really the future of social greetings? all this? the hopelessly inelegant elbow. if you must do something, do that but i‘m just as happy to say hello to someone or how are you rather than that. what about fist pumping? no. i really have not thought about that at all. a fist bump is not something i think about. time for another socially awkward greeting, this time with historian louise. we meet in front of a roman wall insane organs. some historians think the handshake started with greeks and romans as a gesture of peace, holding out a empty right hand to show you have no weapon. louise is not convinced. if you have someone buy the right hand you can doa someone buy the right hand you can do a little dagger work if you wa nted do

let's talk to robert west, a professor of health psychology at university college london.is confusion, what does that do to the public‘s psyche? confusion, what does that do to the public's psyche? well, i think obviously if you put out mixed messaging, then you are going to get problems with adherence to the messaging. to some degree it is understandable because the scientists themselves are divided on this and the reason is that the evidence is still accumulating. i myself had felt until recently that the evidence wasn't strong enough to mandate use of face coverings in indoor enclosed areas. but there has been a couple of studies published recently but have pushed me come on balance, to think this would be the right thing to do. but not as a pa na cea right thing to do. but not as a panacea or instead of other measures, such panacea or instead of other measures, such as panacea or instead of other measures, such as social distancing and so on. we also have to recognise pa rt and so on. we also have to recognise part of the reason people have been concerned about this is

and now, a new study from the university college of london has found the disease could lead to brainations. to discuss, let's bring in michael standee. dr. zandy co-led that study. doctor, what can you tell us about the kinds of neurologic complications you are seeing in patients? and are you seeing them in patients who are not showing other kinds of coronavirus symptoms. you know, the respiratory distress that we see so often here in the united states. >> well, thanks very much. first, i should say we've reported on a very small number of patients. these are very selective and so they reflect the severe end of what we have been seeing as neurologists in england. we have been seeing a range of problems. first of all, hospitalized patients, quite a few of them can have an altered mental state and confusion or delirium. and that's relatively common. and we think, in part, that is due to low blood oxygen. or for those on the intensive care unit, sepsis and infection. maybe, some inflammation, as well. generally, they have normal brain scans and this is a short-lived problem. though, we

in clinical trials around the world, including two in the uk, developed by oxford university and imperial college londont announced deals with two overseas vaccine producers. biontech—pfizer is one of the frontrunners. a german—us partnership, its coronavirus vaccine produced a strong immune response in early trials. if its successful, the first of 30 million doses could arrive by the end of the year. the other deal is with the french firm valneva who won't begin trials of theirjab till the autumn. that agreement is for 60 million doses. its vaccine will contain an inactivated virus. this is a more tried and tested method for creating a vaccine, so could be important if others fail. there's already a deal to buy 100 million doses of the vaccine produced by oxford university. this may look like the uk government has overbought, but bear in mind that nine in ten vaccines are unsuccessful and you see the logic behind the decision to back several horses in the search for a winner. the base case should be that we will not get a vaccine this year, and that the most likely timeframe to start getting vaccines w

michie, a member of independent sage and director of the centre for behaviour change at university college londonthe scientific group that advises the prime minister and the cabinet. at this stage, when people like professor chris whitty and jenny harries are giving evidence to mps, what kind of questions do you think are relevant to be asking? i think the overarching question is, what is the strategy? what is the government strategy? what is the government strategy and what is the scientific basis for the strategy? is it their zero decker—macro strategy that we have heard about in south korea, singapore, they nam, germany and scotla nd singapore, they nam, germany and scotland seems to be going down that road also. is it, as it has been suggested at some point, herd immunity by default? 0r suggested at some point, herd immunity by default? or is it what sage has described it as as a drift strategy? this is the most important thing at the moment. because unless we know what the strategy is, it is very difficult to evaluate the government's lifting of various restrictions and what is likely to be
