he's at university of birmingham. he spoke to us just a few hours ago. whoa, have been seen for some time now in european borders is a class between 2 diverging policies. on the one hand, the european union, which is which, which it has developed our so called fortress europe policy, where basically they do not want to have any big numbers of him. again, sorry, fuji's or asylum seekers coming into europe. and on the other hand, neighboring countries such as turkey, where they won their 2. bo passmore migration flows towards europe. and because number one, they want to elevate their own problem button number 2, they can use, it is migration flows as a negotiating directed against some more financial compensation from europe. and so basically we end up having a big number of people caught in the middle between iraq and a hard place where they're trying to cross the border. and they're being deborah encouraged or helped to cross the border. so what i'm song was on the little chap is at some concern, but i also a lot of anti migrant thoughts right now. maybe

. >> joining me now is jeanie mirazzo from the university of alabama at birmingham.r joining me. if approved, this would be the first pill to treat, as i mentioned, but right now the only treatment options available are antibody treatments. can you explain to our viewers how the drug in this pill form would be different? >> well, right, thanks, dana. well, this is really exciting for a few reasons. when we think about it we don't have a lot of options for bills that treat viral illnesses. probably the one that people are most familiar with is tamiflu which treats influenza, but a lot of viral infections we really don't do very well with antiviral therapy. the fact that this is a medication that can be taken just twice a day for five days and actually in the study reduce the rate of hospitalization and death by about 50% in people with mild to moderate covid who were treated with outpatients is incredibly exciting. a couple of other things that are notable about the findings, we really need to see the data and in a peer-reviewed publication and all that stuff. we need

us to discuss is the codirector of the pediatric infectious disease division at the university of alabama at birmingham. dr. kim berland, we appreciate having you this morning. i want to get your reaction to this new jama poediatrics study kids likely to get as infected as adults but half as likely to show symptoms. put that in greater context of what it means? >> it's similar to things we've been recognizing for a long time now through this pandemic. children early on were understood to really not be impacted as much as older adults, and i think that was a true statement. i think it remains to some extent a true statement as well, but what this pediatric study adds to this equation and other studies prior to that is that children are not untouched by the covid pandemic or the covid disease themselves. they do get infected and they can spread it to others. that's why it's important to get to a point of having an authorized vaccine for 5 to 11-year-olds. >> it's a great point. despite that potential game-changing advance of having a vaccine for young kids, some parents have expressed hesitancy to get th

richard miller i-1963 graduate of birmingham university was not considered an especially good agent bye of his colleagues. he had been reprimanded several times for sloppy work. at his work in the los angeles suburb, investigators found a number of stolen classified documents. this is the first time in its history that the fbi has arrested one of its own on spying charges. this is a real emotional time for us. in washington fbi director william webster had this reaction. >> first time that i know of any charge ever being brought, we brought it, we investigated it, and we use the appropriate steps to limit the damage. >> the damage may be that the soviets have learned a few things by fbi techniques to combat flying. miller appeared in court this morning, and entered no plea. he is being held without bail. his wife and one of his eight children were present. miller split his time between his job in los angeles, and his family in san diego. instead to be having serious personal and financial problems. nikolai and svetlana ogorodnikov -- may have been having an affair with the fbi man. the

of birmingham. you had medgar evers murdered. you had george wallace, said the university. all you got to do is look at alabama football and see how that's gone. and the most important thing about '63, that's when michael jordan was born and there were people in '63 who never thought a young black kid would be a billionaire and own an nba team and so i think that when jordan talks about -- when he talks about the struggle. when you look back at people like wendell scott, our existence and survival and problems in this country has been about tenacity. it's been about commitment, and it's been about, you know, jordan using your resources to join this war. so i just thought that just that brief interview with jordan basically said, hey, i'm joining this war on racism, and i just think it's really fantastic. >> it continues to fascinate me to see this post-basketball jordan, when you compare him to the jordan that we watched, that i watched growing up on the court. they dig into it in the documentary. i mean, he was knocked for a long time, criticized by a lot of folks for sta
