he's a consultant there all the just the university of cambridge oh said presents for they can scientists podcast. welcome to d, w. d u share they w h o, the concerns about the euro's potentially increasing coven infections across the continent. the current of ours is a re spirit tree infection and it spreads by close contact with an infected person and an uninfected person who is susceptible to the infection. and any kind of contact between people will increase the risk of more cases. and so if you have math gatherings, you will get more context between people and you will get more cases. but really, the question boils down to what level of risk are we willing to tolerate? and at what point will we regard ourselves a sufficiently safe that we will regard acts and events like this most gatherings for the football matches to be safe? and really that's what it boils down to. and it's up to policymakers to come up with policies that they think of safe then the rest of us follow. it's already down for the football association to come up with the rules. so let's, let's, let's look at that beca

we are bringing the young africans from the university of cambridge, from harvard, from oxford.ged because we do not longer need to send the samples outside africa for sequencing to provide the genomic art to elucidate the genetic map of viruses. it is happening on the continent and years ago, it wasn't possible. all right. but there's a lot of suspicion when it comes to scientific collaboration between africans and people of african descent. and it's worth remembering the situation of henrietta lacks, the african american woman who had very unique cancer cells. she died in 1951 at the age of 31 from a cancerous tumour. and her cells, known as the hela cells, have been used in every major medical breakthrough. but her family never benefited in any sort of way from the use of her cells. so there's a lot of suspicion to overcome, isn't there? that's exactly what we're talking about, and that's why, you saw my interview, i mean, in the washington post and the new york times, what we're talking about equity. we want to collaborate. we want to be in partnership with the rest of the w

or let's talk to randy group that he's the professor of clinical micro biology at the university of cambridge professor group to thanks very much for your time. we know that there is still not enough data yet on delta plus, but what do we know about it? so far, well, we know that it has emerged it, it's potentially seated infections in the poll leave, and i believe that it's seated infections in portugal and some of which have landed in the u. k. but i think that in general, this is a mutation that we have seen before, a number of times, even in the context of the alpha baron to the one that originated in the u. k. and those viruses did not really have an advantage over the b 117 to any degree. and so i would caution against getting really worried about the delta plus and i think the delta v is reason enough to be really considering how we tackle this virus without having to worry about the extra mutation at the moment. so i think that it's a bit of a distraction. what we have to be dealing with globally is the fact that we have a virus that is rapidly spreading. that does have a dim unity to

i can tell you, i mean, confidently, that within my centre and my collaboration with university of cambridgenical stage. now, this is know—how from africa. and then we just developed that vaccine based on a prior vaccine that we were working on before. and this vaccine was built in nigeria with my collaborator in cambridge, which means that we do have the resources, the human resources necessary, both within africa and in the diaspora, which means that africa can — if given the resources, obviously. so you're saying that, basically overnight, africa could produce the vaccines it needs. there's the african union, with its target of 60% of its own vaccine needs should be produced on the continent by 2040. are you saying that that is achievable? you've got the know—how the expertise, the infrastructure? we do. remember, zeinab, that in the years of the �*70s and �*80s, the majority of vaccines against many diseases were produced in africa. many of those plants still exist. the technology might have changed, but, obviously, it is clear that we were doing this before. and then the question is, wh

university of london. she joins us from cambridge deep based on our previous conversations. i'm guessing that you're not going to be celebrating with a lot of the country today. no, i mean, i'm not sure a lot of the country celebration either. i think many, many people are worried about opening up in the middle of what's of aging pandemic, which is already leading to the pressure on hospital leading them to cancel routine care routine appointments for many. so i think i don't believe that this isn't just the pro and non ethical one that will be 2 millions of infections in the coming weeks and hundreds of thousands of people suffering. the consequences of long cool, which from that do you or what she needs pictures of people gathering and clubs, and oldest confetti i. this is all happening amidst this real chorus of criticism from health and signtext. but like yourself, i'm curious to you right now feeling like you're being heard by the government when it comes to policy. no, absolutely not. i mean, i don't know who they just think you because, you know, we had said that was s

cambridge university carries out a review. in a statement, cambridge university said... i have lived for 20 years longer than saskia did and i view what she achieved in her short life as ofwe are focused upon. the german chancellor angela merkel has said that britons who have had two covid 19 vaccinations should soon be able to travel to germany without going into quarantine on arrival. mrs merkel met prime minister borisjohnson today for talks at chequers, on her last visit to the uk as head of the german government and covid travel restrictions were high on the agenda. we think that, in the foreseeable future, those who have received double jabs will then according to our classification, and britain obviously is a high—incidence area, will be able to travel again without having to go into quarantine, we would like to encourage people to be vaccinated. in the beginning, we did not have that much experience with this variant but we are dealing with it, and we are approaching this in the spirit that i set out and the variant is spreading quickly in germany too, but let me point out yet again, it's not only germany that has imposed travel restrictions, the uk too has done

university of london. jones is by skype from cambridge to happy withers. i'm old enough to remember when the british variances cause and panic or the alpha variance is it's now known as just explained says, why is the delta variance so much worse? so the death in his honey transmissible in about within 40 to 60 percent more transmissible than the alpha lead into which we already know what more transmissible in the original radius. so in total, this lady is about 2 times more transmissible than our regional gradient, which makes it very easily spreadable through the air. the 2nd thing is that it is more able to escape vaccines that will be directed against the original radius. and there is a significant degree of escape the after one back seen, but less so off to to those is that that has important impact at immunity at population level. 3rd, people already mentioned, we think it's more and more likely to go off that location than these studies. and some regions also suggest just that it's more likely was death. and all of that make it really, really bad co

amy ludlow and ruth armstrong are the directors of the cambridge university learning together programmer students in prison. amy and ruth, amongst others, saw him as a success story. they put him on their leaflets. they gave him a computer. i think people saw the advantage of having him as somebody they had involved in their programme, showing some capability to deal with even the highest category of offender. theyjust lost sight of the danger to the public, their employees and anyone else associated with the programme. at the inquest into saskia's death, learning together said it was the responsibility of the prison and probation service to assess khan's risk, and they'd relied on those agencies' expertise. something that was put to amy ludlow — if, after everything that's happened, learning together would rule out working with categories of prisoner, terrorist offenders. and her answer was no, because there's no research evidence to support that. yeah, and we heard a number of times there's no research evidence for this and no research evidence for that. i suggest that the main eviden

globally, cambridge university estimates that the amount of energy used to mine a year's worth of bitcoinl energy use. greenidge argues that because it uses gas, it's greener than bitcoin mines that use coal in the us and china, and they've pledged to invest in a solar energy plant. but the process still generates carbon dioxide, that greenidge says they offset. we are 100% carbon neutral in our bitcoin mining operation. but you're still putting fossil fuels into the air. you wouldn't need to offset them if this didn't happen. this is a gas plant, and approximately 50% of the grid in new york state is powered by natural gas so like all natural gas plants, whether it's in new york or the rest of the country, this plant does emit carbon. some local politicians, though, are concerned. do you want greenidge to close down? personally, it absolutely should. it should not be using fossil fuel to run these computer processors to benefit a few people on wall street — for what? it's not worth it. politicians around the world are still trying to work out how to deal with bitcoin�*s greedy energy con

university of london. she's joining us via skype from cambridge. thank you very much for being with us. what is also concerning here, i guess is that the case and actually officially opening up until july 19th and we're already seeing the our rates go up the transmission rate. the delta vary and spreading, as you heard that from sonya is the u. k. d restricting too much, too soon, in your opinion. when opening up in the middle of a raging fat to make with exponentials rises my cases a doubling every 9 days is completely negligent. i own how the secretary has said that we are going to see more than 100000 daily cases over the summer and lessons, something like that ripped through the population when only 51 percent of our population 40 vaccinated is completely reckless and will have long term impact on people's health, our health care services moving forward, giving that the major groups that are being back to now young adults and children where cases are literally skyrocketing and we know that this isn't an acute, that for many people it's a chronic unless i've used to chronic disabilit
