all of course joins us from the university of good again where he's a senior physician great to have you on the show you found covered 19 could affect the kidneys early on and that can be detected detected in a urine sample what's that mean for the course of the disease. yes indeed well we know that such group of patients are quick 90 get sicker than others so days after onset of the symptoms we be know that some need i.c.u. care and much allergy so our idea actually was to diffuse the urine to it identify the sub group here in terms of well once the urine gets i was the chief in terms of the organ infection tells us that this patient is at risk. so i actually use this urine sample to try to identify you as i'm with the organ failure patient at rest to say this is a good warning sign of a serious infection are there other warning signs to yes i think there are higher if you imagine yourself being affected as a cope with 19 patient being at home canteen it is hard for your family doctor to check you every day for all different science of. organ failure so if you use this you want dips

doctor from the university of exeter, a lwa ys from the university of exeter, always good to get youru very much. now on bbc news, it's time for the film review with anna smith. hello and welcome to the film review with me anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's releases. first up, a film that's on digital and in some cinemas now — perfect 10. a gritty british drama in the vein of andrea arnold's fish tank. it stars frankie box as a 14—year—old gymnast called lee who suddenly discovers she has an older half—brother. are you lee? frankie lives outside brighton with a neglectful father she rarely sees. she loves gymnastics, but she's picked on by the other girls. whenjoe knocks on the door announcing that he's her brother and he's come to live with them, it's the first lee has even heard of him. he's given me permission to come stay here, so... here i am, lee. but instead of resenting joe — who's played by fellow newcomer alfie deegan — this lonely teen finds hope and solace in his company — hanging out with him and his mates on their mopeds. it's not really fo

from the research center for instance european studies at the university of braman it's good to have you on the show i just want to ask you what did you make of these results were you really surprised to hear that lugar cinco had won by such a big landslide. well yes and no i mean i was not were surprised that he would when i have been helping various since 99 you forgot i was actually surprised by this now bearskins well the level of populist support or even public discontent that was seen in belarus in the beginning to condemn it is unprecedented so nobody just believes these numbers and what about the challenger his challengers flip that on a take on of them scope yog she managed to attract what tens of thousands of supporters do do you think that her challenge of leadership do you think that will have a more permanent effect on the country. well it tends already have an effect as already mentioned it was. people supporting hamas going into mass production so there were about 2 to 5 percent of the local population came to the church and its range was in green the region it's not me

let's ask gabriel da silva, a senior lecturer in chemical engineering at the university of melbourne. goody much for your time. 0bviously, very much for your time. obviously, we have another chance to make a detailed study but from what you're seeing, hearing and reading, what do you think happened in beirut? yes, we don't know exactly yet but clearly it is an explosion of ammonium nitrate. and you can tell that from, well, the reports that there was ammonium nitrate stored there but also from the nature of the explosion itself, and the plume of smoke that went up. and there was footage clearly showing a fire before the explosion happened which would have contributed to it. and there's two ways you can set off ammonium nitrate explosion. it's actually quite difficult to make it happen. normally, when we store and use this material, it's quite safe. so you either need a very hotly confined fire or you need another explosion to happen first. so if you're using ammonium nitrate, as part of a mining explosive, you would set up mining explosive, you would set upa high mining explosive, you woul

harvard graduate school of education in massachusetts has looked into the challenges primary schools facing in this day make new good from the school of medicine of the university of st andrews was part of the group working on this article and she joins us now from scotland good to have you with us now as you know education is a central theme in the un sustainable development goals as education can prevent or even eradicate poverty so it's very important given the rising case numbers in many parts of the world is now the time to put education before health. thanks for having me on the program 1st of all but no we must give equal credits to bolt you must not choose one or the other but it preach the vital importance of the health of our society as well as the educational and social benefits provided by schooling neither can be ignored especially i think one thing we need to appreciate is that we're not discussing the effect of 2 months disrupted learning which may fade away by the time students complete their education but there are also long term impact of school closures particularly for disadvantaged children i mean for example disengagement from education mi

tease there he is a finance lecturer of the graduate school of business at the university of cape town he joins me via skype good to have you on the program michigan many african countries are reluctant to accept financial aid during this time of crisis pointing towards their credit rating what exactly are they afraid of well thank you for having me it's a number of issues. that. we just discovered. you know you know contracts that all the countries they have signed to under or that they issued they they're close that when that tens of default in one. is that when they seek any. morning top government. that is a crisis right is it so that our own need to already cut. even even those auditoria so it to the rating agencies is just right for doing that to use our. terms that we have the best and what would the impact be of such a classification of a default. well the impact is a huge help for me our in that i dispiriting in that it morning tony and yes. they had a huge the net effect because a lot of benefits of not paying out. you know and is the interest on that and those were the spike out so you find that dam w

university as well. david seaton, assistant director of admissions at the university of bedfordshire, really good to hear listened to, and hoped mistakes would not be repeated. i'm so happy for my future, my peers in my college, everybody else affected, everybody else has been heard finally. and the fact that i was given a prediction of a, b, b, means i will have those great and be able to become a vet eventually. honestly, i couldn't be happier, i really couldn't. that is tremendous news, so you are basically saying that your predicted grades were higher than the grades that you receive when you open that envelope on thursday? yes, i was predicted a, b, b, and i received d, d, d, so quite a drop in grades. in the meantime, that was five days ago. what did you do when you received those three ds was my presumably you contact at the college you were supposed to be going too. what did they said, go through the appeals process , we they said, go through the appeals process, we will keep your place until the 31st of august. if you don't get the grades you need by then, we will still keep your place for 2021

right now joining me from colchester, england, professor of government at the university of essex. good morning, natasha. thanks for coming on. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> sure thing. president trump is campaigning as the law-and-order candidate, and his remarks there mirroring that in part with the electorate made up of hundreds of thousands of u.s. citizens of all walks of life who have participated in rallies since george floyd's death. they are out there supporting change as they were in washington on friday. will his words hurt him or help him? >> i think trump's strategy is just to appeal to his base, which he thinks is about 40% of the electorate. and to ensure that people that don't support him just don't turn out to vote. he's also trying to play on people's fears, and that's what the big theme was of the republican convention. and just the theme of the campaign in general that he's the law-and-order president, that joe biden is a pawn of the left. and that there's going to be complete chaos and mayhem if joe biden gets elected. one congressman at the republican c

analyses at the research center for east european studies at the university of bremen here in germany organs good to have you on the program tonight 1st of all what did you make of the result. overwhelming when 80 percent of the vote did that surprise you. well actually i was not of course surprised the fact that he won and everybody expected didn't think that you know we have this long history of cation or an accident will actually result in better still pro 20 years already so it's not a surprise we're actually surprised me and disdain peter that used to have you know the last 10 years maybe being a more it's 80 percent that he is definitely not heaven now it's quite obvious so this he has lost the popular support and it's actually all b.s. for quite a majority of people that even if you had a chance to win which i don't really believe you that would definitely not be 80 percent what does all of this mean then for his main challenger who managed to attract tens of thousands of supporters. does she have any recourse here or does she have to accept the fact that she has lost this election. well t

a lot of the universities are taking a similar approach. goodthe president and vice chancellor of the university of leicester. the un refugee agency says hundreds of migrants who've been rescued in the mediterranean must be granted a place of safety. they're still at sea having been rescued by three boats — including one which has been paid for by the street artist banksy. simonjones reports. brought to shore and to safety. 49 migrants who had initially been rescued by a ship belonging to banksy, the louise michel. they were taken to lampedusa by the italian coast guard. these are the lucky ones. the fate of hundreds more people still on the water remains unclear. the louise michel had picked up more than 200 people at sea. it became dangerously overcrowded and stranded off the coast of malta. some of the migrants had to stay on life rafts, floating alongside the boat. the crew said nobody in the international community was willing to help. everyone that has been rescued is deeply traumatised. we'll keep trying to contact the european authoritie

of keele university. also i'm joined by mike nicholson, director of undergraduate admissions at the university of bath. goods it means again and there is a lot of work to be done helping these young people sort out what their future is going to be over the next few days and weeks. there will be some serious issues for some universities, whether it be in terms of the volume that they now have to take, that is extra, and for others there will be specific situations like medicine, where there are very real limits to how many students we can take in any one year, both because of the placements we have available but also because of government caps on the numbers. 0n the point about medicine, sorry to interrupt, i have got an e—mail from someone who had an offer from keele university to do medicine, her grades were downgraded, so she didn't meet the criteria, ec explained the school was going to appeal on her behalf and they said, 0k, appeal on her behalf and they said, ok, if you are successful you can come next year and do medicine. now she has got the grades, can she come of this year? we are currently full. w

president of the e 4 institute like its institute for economic research at the university of new nickname it's forced good to have you with us so i hear that you expect the economy to grow by almost 7 percent in the 3rd quarter what will spur such crevasse. well to some extent this is a mechanic because in the 2nd quarter we had a strong contraction due to the lockdown now this lockdown is it has gone away and not entirely but almost entirely so just mechanical a part of the economy is open again and that drives this grow up at the same time there are some positive signs internationally the economy in china is recovering data coming from the us is quite good despite the spread of the virus there and that's all of that is supporting the german economy as well and of course the german economy as a whole fairly whether this crisis fairly well that is because of a massive fiscal stimulus push which was only possible thanks to a new debt of almost $218000000000.00 euros and now there are colds to extend for example the short time allowance scheme for another 2 years to much leeway is there left before debt bec

dr poppy lamberton is a global health specialist at the university of glasgow. good morning to you. couple of weeks. if that happens, how significant is that? yes, that isa how significant is that? yes, that is a brilliant target to aim for and if it does happen it means that we get so much more information on the number of people infected across the whole country. and really importantly the number of people asymptomatic. so will know that a lot of people have it and and this will start to to highlight who those people are and how old they are, for example, not just how people are and how old they are, for example, notjust how many there are. right, can i specifically ask you about antibodies that people haveif you about antibodies that people have if they have had coronavirus? are we any clearer yet about how long the antibodies last for? so, this is still very much up for debate and it is another thing that this survey will help to explain. this survey in the households will be using active test to see if people have that infection at that point of time and that is when they use th

rice of digital media online teaching which is very very good service a lot of commitment you know universities and professors on those fronts but i mean it's very important still for young people to overall you know there's these personality aspect to it nest growth factor and i think that people want to go abroad and want the feeling and we are seeing this tendency that people still want to go abroad and you know actually feel the cultural learning as well just briefly will the pandemic have a lasting impact on education and exchange programs. i think so i mean quite possibly we will see that some of the digital phones will prevail and compliment to cicle mobility in the future but as i said before there's a lot more to the physical exchange the learning you know getting to know a cultures so i think yes some of the digital progress that we have seen that will prevail there will always be lead a necessity for physical exchange programs in the future and that's one aspect i want like to emphasize the meaning and significance of international cooperation has been shown its road passed through m

joining me now is a corneal you are an associate professor in diplomatic studies that the university of oxford good to have you with us mr boehner how much of this is now sort of an extension of the war of words through t.v. radio and newspapers and does it really have an effect with the exception of that one trump rally in oklahoma. thank you very much for inviting me on and for sending more. i think what we think our nation that like the president found it doesn't stop when he followed one in about the structural plan we can call it that your politics of information in the sense that information is. strategic resource that's what a good source with national security or national security irrelevance in marseilles information can be used for anything that you advised this information we've seen that in the past but that's not necessarily the key is the x. the concern here is it's about the information that we use personal information that we use when the use of us that we deal about them in a matter that political leverage a lot of military commanders like someone taking part in 9 national negotiat

students worse off let's bring in anthony welsh he's a professor of education at the university of sydney in australia good to have you with us so when you have a number of scary as 24000000 children dropping out of losing access to education what does that mean for a host of other age developmental issues not just education. well i think the point here is to recognise that education has profound implications lifelong so tens if not hundreds of millions of children out of school significant numbers of whom may never return that's going to affect their lifelong opportunities. particularly in terms of work and earnings and that takes us to my next point which is how much do we know how many of those 24000000 will ever find their way back into a classroom again. well this is a developing catastrophe we don't date her. but i think. it's important to recognize that the impact will be gracious on the groups who are already marginal poor rural and remote families and. young girls and women. and refugees so unfortunately it will have the effect of exacerbating inequalities in education which are really significant

jordan, for many people believe and we think here at the university of north carolina is the greatest basketball player of all-time. michael was good enough to have necessary items for his collection. we also found some great artifacts here from our collection. our own files. of letters that coach smith sent to michael. things that he wanted him to work on, a recruiting card that coach smith kept on every player that he ever recruited, and one of the great things from that cart is first of all on the cart as mike, not michael. on the second is magic jordan. his nickname, magic like magic johnson. until people saw that, a lot of people did not know that high school, michaels nickname was magic jordan. >> on the other side of the case, we were very fortunate that michael let us go to his home in chicago and pick out several items to put here in the museum. whether it was nba all-star game trophies, mvp of the all-star game, national awards that he wanted north carolina, one of the items that gets a lot of mention is the recruiting letter that the coach sent michael. it's probably one of the most talked about items because of the grea

university to the number of schools either delaying or holding off precipitously any reopening because of cases of coronavirus on campus. they got a number there. miller joins us now on the university as a student. very good student housing because of the spikes. is that right? >> yeah, that is correct. they announced i think last wednesday and we have two days off of school to allow students to move off campus. >> neil: so what are you going to do? >> i have an on-campus apartment locally so i'm staying here because i will not pay rent for an apartment that i will not live in. >> neil: what do you think of all of this? invariably, most college kids are either giving each other the virus. when you hear that, what do you think? >> i think there is both, like you can see both sides of the situation and obviously when you bring a group of college students to college especially freshmen that don't know anybody, they will want to celebrate and even with groups of people with different perspectives about the virus in general. there are people who think it is a hoax. they are people that think well, if i get infected, it won't affect me and then there is the group that takes it seriously. so obviously, you bring

speak professor alastair hay, a toxicology expert from the school of medicine at the university of leeds. it is very goodve you with us, professor hay. first of all, how will the german medical team establish whether alexei navalny was poisoned or not? they will be taking blood and you're in samples from him and subjecting them to be the most wide—ranging screening process possible. —— you're in samples samples. they will be looking for families of chemicals and if they identify any of these they will do more specific tests. it is long process when you don't really know what they're looking for. it is better for them to identify a chemical if they can because this can then lead to more specific treatment. they have been some questions over how and whether i should say a toxic substance will still be detectable. yes, i think if it was something that was highly toxic there is a good chance of still finding it but of course it varies hugely according to the individual substance. some are present for a very short period and some have really quite extended stays in the body, so they will be doing as much as t

but also a dear friend of chadwick's from the marvel universe. robert downey jr., so goodyou to be with us tonight. and you and chadwick shared some iconic moments onscreen together as fellow avengers. talk to me about your memories of chadwick on-set. >> well, towards the end of the third "avengers," "the infinity war", we all kind of lose together. there were a few days all of the avengers were together. just the way he walked on-set, and the immense success that had occurred, and rightfully so with "black panther." he was just in this kind of stratus of his own. but always humble, always hard-working, always a smile on his face. and just now looking back all the more, i realize what an incredibly graceful human being he was. >> robert, you shared such a heartwarming video on instagram yesterday. the two of you, you were laughing and you called him a game changer. how are you going to remember your friend and how do you want the rest of the world to remember him, too? >> it was about six or eight weeks ago, i had reached out to him amidst the george floyd protest and he

boy in the neighboborhood by the nae of joe schapiro, who i guess had a reputation for being a good whichaker, take his sats, was not necessary because the universityf pennsylvania had a high acceptance rate, and my dad had a good friend from st. paul's where he went who worked inin the admissions, so donald probably would have gotten in any way. amy: he made a big deal of going to the university of pennsylvania wharton school. what did your grandfather call hihim? i am.ump: the great amy: from the age of 12? dr. trump: it goes to show how long this has been going on. amy: president trump cloaks himself, constantly praising the military, but you also write that donald trumump his first we disownthrhreatened to donald trump, jr. if you went into the military. dr. trump: my uncle rob told me that storyry. told me that story a couple of times years ago. i don't find it surprising the way donald speaks about the military now, simply because i believe in his mind, the power of the military and the honor of the military reflects on him because he is in the oval office , but he has never demonstrated any use for it. he has never valued it before this. my

or let's welcome onto the program now aside mohammad marandi a professor at the university of tehran good to see you we're used to hearing quite aggressive statements from the hezbollah leader but this was fairly conciliatory offering condolences thanking countries for aid saying disputes should be suspended was that what you were expecting. yes that was what i was expecting it's something that we see whenever some tragedy happens him saying in public statements as you rightly point out it was a speech for healing to bring the public together ot unite the country even though french president macron said some very disturbing things when he visited beirut in his part of this of the stunt and he basically spoke about imposing a new order in there but not as if this was a colonial era once again but saying it has was very. focused on bringing people together the accusations that were initially directed at hezbollah and continued to be directed as head at hezbollah are by those forces that were supporting isis and al qaida and other extremist groups in syria and they are very angry and they re

dr bharat pankhania is an epidemiologist and senior clinical lecturer, at university of exeter medical school. goodt is right to postpone the easing measures in england? absolutely, but more to the point, they should not have had the premature lifting of the lockdown in the first instance. this is the area of concern that we have been highlighting it since prime ministerjohnson said he was lifting the lockdown. there was a lot of case numbers already in circulation, and our test and trace system is not fully operational. therefore, we see the consequences of lifting the lockdown measures and we need to sort of put the brakes on, as prime ministerjohnson says. many countries have problems with testing and tracing, but in the uk, as elsewhere, we are now in august, and why is it not as we need it to be, fit for purpose? i think we went sta nley be, fit for purpose? i think we went stanley part of reinventing the wheel. the united kingdom has got a marvellous public health system —— down the part. in the swine flu pandemic, we did the test and the trace pandemic, we did the test and the tra ce syste m

fauci saying there should be a universal wearing of masks, what are the chances we actually see that happen when there's still so much resistance in many areas? >> good morning, erica. you know, i think we're going to have to have universal masking at the local level because we're not getting it at the federal level. i want to echo a bit of what sanjay has said, and also note that, you know, over time, we have commented about how kids have done comparably well when you look at adults. so, adults over 80 have mortality rates of this disease of 15%. children have mortality rates somewhere around 0.5%, 0.4%. but when you look at the numbers, the sheer numbers of children who are now reported to be infected or have been infected, 100,000, we're talking about deaths of like 500, 600 young kids. and so, i think when you start looking at the sheer volume of numbers, even very small death rates tally to a lot of children dying from this disease. >> and look, that's exactly what concerns me and what questions it raises for someone like me, without a medical degree, this morning. we know that this new spike in cases that we saw in june and july was fueled by y

university of miami is sticking with their hybrid model. with me now is dr. frank, president of the university of miami. dr. frank, gooding to you. >> good morning. thank you. >> let's start here with just the numbers. how many faculty, students and staff have tested positive for covid-19 at um since you re-opened? >> we re-opened november 17th and we had an average of 12 cases per day ups and downs. that's our average. fairly stable. we have a strict protocol. and we're very vigilante. this is a serious illness. >> yes, it is. what's the cumulative number >> the cumulative number right now is about, in the last week, it's about 103. >> not the last week. since you re-opened, how many? >> a little bit more. you know if you -- it's about 140. we have very few at the beginning. >> 140. . when we went to your website the dashboard yesterday at the coronavirus dashboard where all the information is supposed to be the number we saw was 190 over the last week. >> well, because we're keeping a rolling average. so that's why that changes. >> i get that. if the rolling average over the seven days posted yesterday of 190, you're

of our universities particularly the heart of u.k. universities and something that has deeply value back down next so i think reports of its demise are exaggerated it's always good to have a sense check on it but i mean quite frankly i think this report is hocus pocus there for you conclusions and try to produce the evidence to support those sold out of questions about their methodology out questions about their sample i have questions about why they had so many retired academics included in their sample so actually in terms of academics mark i think that report would be a good study of saying look at the evidence look at the conclusions do you think they are reliable do you think they're valid argument these conclusions were obvious p.o.d. one topic mention the causes breaks in this report that's something you and i have talked about a lot and we were talking about a lot in the near future but can being rightly in a war really kill an academic career nuttall and i think the interesting thing that this report actually says is those people who study the economic evidence are less likely to support records well why is that it's because as we have talked about many

bring in the director of the center for infectious disease research and policy at the university of minnesota. michael, good to see you. the cdc guidance on testing was until recently, quote, testing is recommended for all close contacts of persons with sars, covid 2 infection. now the cdc says, if you have been in close contact within 6 feet of a person with a covid-19 infection for at least 15 minutes but do not have symptoms, you do not necessarily need a test unless you are a vulnerable individual or your health care provider or state or local public health officials recommend you take one, unquote. does this new guidance make any medical sense? >> you know, all i can say, jake, is i am dumb founded by this recommended not just the fact that they made it but how they made it kindofunder the cover of night. when someone has been exposed to the coronavirus, it is true that in the first two or three days they won't be positive and we of course counsel people at that point not to be tested. but by day four and five it is important to know if they are positive because, one, it reinforces the reason why they

office: a guide to the constitution for future presidents' and he's professor of political science at brown university. goodu again. what are the headlines of all of this for you so far? pleasure to speak to you too. i think, you know, the format is odd as you know, the format is odd as you have been talking about but we have to remember why it is odd. it is odd because this president has failed so badly in dealing with the coronavirus and dealing with this pandemic, and dealing with this pandemic, and that is really a symbol that we have to do this from home, of the leadership they're going to point to which has been a totalfailure going to point to which has been a total failure really, the lack of leadership. i also think this election is unlike any other in the this president is really threatening to suspend the election in dealing with the post office. that is especially worrying. we have neverin especially worrying. we have never in our history, even during the civil war, have had an election suspended. i think what the democrats will start to do, and we saw that at the beginning last night, his focus

joining me, council of mick advisers and university of chicago's booth school of business. good morning, austan goolsbee. first, talk about the pay roll tax cuts. not something everybody thinks of all the time. what does it do and why is it important the president decided to do away with it? >> well, you heard the president saying he wants to get rid of that pay roll tax cut. what it does is pays for social scuty. this is literally -- somebody had proposed add legislation, get rid of the pay roll tax cut, we would say the person's trying to undermine and destroy the social security system. now, that might not be a surprise the president's own budget he's proposed has malt pop ti multiple times tried to cut the social security system, the first time proposing a frontal assault on the way we finance the mainstay of retirement security in the country. so the only thing i'll say is, he knew this. they've been proposing this pay roll tax cut for months, and it's not just democrats. virtually all republicans in congress have opposed this idea. precisely because it's going to undermine
