according to hedi viterbo, an assistant professor at queen mary university of london. according to this researcher's research, here, in the occupation zone, children go to the army at a young age, for example, 3 years old. at the age of 11, they wear military uniforms and pick up guns and shoot. in this camp, we teach children to understand the feeling of being a soldier among the military forces. hatred of arabs is taught in schools in the special form of hating palestinians. in the textbooks, the occupying regime is described as a sheep and all arabs are described as wolves. in these books , palestinians are a dangerous problem. they are introduced. it is very strange that you never see a palestinian doctor, teacher or child in zionist books. israel alone it introduces the palestinians as terrorists and shows them as a problem and a threat. in his research, this researcher mentions several educational cases in zionist schools. for example, an example: children can be exempted from punishment by harming palestinians. in this educational system, the principle is the mil

the cost occupied east jerusalem. joining us not from london, danielle bang, keep that l is associate professor of finance at queen mary university of london. one, welcome to dante, what do you make of this decision by movies to downgrade is really officials to say that it's not consistent with metro economical. fiscal figures to the primary, the primary reasons why moody dominated the uh, these really uh, these are 80 uh ranking is due to political risks and you're wanting to cut rates which are likely to persist even after the conflict ends up. so the piece of situation is projected to be the to do it. i think uh, in fact, almost a god bless the how the, how the call to goes. so what are the, the financial repercussions of moody's decision, especially on invest as well as the investment grade. so usually you'll see a substantial increase in interest rates when, when, you know, gets, gets out of the investment straight investment, grades, and ranges. uh so certainly the borrowing costs will increase but not dramatically . but really what is most easiest to pronounce that if the fiscal situation, the, the, the budget, the budget

michael spagat is the chair of "every casualty counts" and a professor at royal holloway, university of london has been collating statistical analysis of the fatalities in gaza. i asked him what he's been looking at. first of all, i'm looking at the pace of the killing and how this compares to some other wars, and i would say that this war has a remarkably rapid pace of killing if you adjust for the population size. so, the graphic is showing a comparison with the war in ukraine over the first year and also with the 2003 war in iraq, the first six weeks, which were dubbed the "shock and awe" period. and what you can see is that the number of people killed per day, per 10,000 of population, is far higher in gaza than it is in either of those. which is not to say that the number of people getting killed is higher, but adjusting for population. of people getting killed is higher, adjusting for population, and that's where you get that huge difference in the size of the bar graphs there. and when you looked a bit deeper into the numbers, what did you find? so, one thing is if you look at the demog

>> this is great research from the university of london. done from the 1950s to the 1980s. they used to take cadavers to use in kids that were very short. they replaced the growth hormone. they stopped doing that in 1985 because they figured out it was impossible to make it completely cured. from 77 to 85 they amped up sterility practices but they found certain abnormal proteins were in some of these extracts. really rarely, a prion disease, something that causes mad cow disease. the other is alzheimer's proteins. they found alzheimer's proteins in these abstract in 2018 and now, just now, a study in nature medicine where they found five people to developed early-onset alzheimer's from having received these extracts way back. what the viewer needs to know is this is not going to happen to you. this is not contagious, one person with alzheimer's putting to another, 0 chance of that. the idea that there are some side effects from using organs from people are transplanting them, we don't do it anymore except for organ transplants, we don't do

he is a professor at the university of colorado and in london we crossed the mohammed according to the state as a lawyer and parliamentary candidate or a gentleman. costs lock rolls in effect, that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciated. mohammed ran to be let, let me go to you 1st and turn on. i, i want to do a special call out right now about aaron bush now and his extreme act of defiance to what he deemed as an active member of the military us military is jet, the us government's pursuit of genocide. so this a story says almost everything we really need. if it was mentioned at all and main stream media, it didn't give you any idea of what was going on. it was very, very shameful and embarrassing for the profession. mohammed just absolutely in the main stream media has been behaving in the most shameful manner since the genocide and gaza began. but when i woke up to the news that he had a cub burned himself alive in front of it is rarely the embassy. and i saw the footage, it was for a for a few minutes. i really couldn't think it was very painful. i didn't. i

i don't just fly around the world, i spent a lot of time setting up a whole department, notjust an institute, a department at university college, london, but is there a bit of you that sometimes sits with people are taking these decisions, thinking, hey, in the right environment, why wouldn't i be the person taking that? wouldn't i be at centre of government? sure, i mean, i've been asked to join government. i can't say more than that. but for example, also in italy, i was asked to be a minister and i was not interested. what i'm very interested in doing is changing, for example, the mindset, the education. you know, we have to remember people aren'tjust born bureaucrats, they're educated. they go and take, you know, they graduate from programmes, mpps, masters in public policy and mpa, masters in public administration. if you look at the curriculum behind those mmasters programmes, they're part of the problem. if at best, again, at worst, get out of the way, at best, you're going to fix a market failure — that is embedded in the training and the curriculum... i'm hearing that but i'm not hearing about you. in other words, what is it.

with the help of robots, scientists at university college london are investigating whether there's a s from around the world. it's the largest study of its kind. we are trying to find out about the biology underneath the stammering, because we're interested in what are the little pieces of the puzzle in the brain that are not quite synchronised when people speak. and that would explain why people who stammer are less fluent. and by understanding the biology, we understand better perhaps how to support treatment in the future. stammering has a huge impact on people's lives. many learn how to hide it. i didn't really start to tell my family until my forties, actually, and even though my sister is a speech therapist, i didn't tell until i was 40. 0thers often avoid words they know they can't say, sometimes even their own name. i've even had moments where i've not called myself peter. isaid hi. i've introduced myself as michael and that's the most unbelievable feeling is like, what am i doing? the group met through a speech therapy course. it encourages them to be more open about their ex

london. he's the director of the center on u.s. politics at university college, london. welcome. to have you with us. let's start with jill biden's assessment. she says, yes, he's 81, but that's an asset because of the experience that he brings to the table. would you agree? >> it's good to be with you, thanks for having me. i think the problem for biden is this. he's tried to make the case that 2024 is the most important election of our lifetime, that it's a battle between democracy and authoritarianism. and yet he's going into that fight as an 81-year-old with a sub 40% approval rate hog just got blasted by a special prosecutor appointed by his own attorney general for lacking the mental acuity to face criminal charges are that is a real problem politically, regardless how joe biden tries to spin this. the white house knows it. a lot of experts keep saying biden's advisers need to put their foot down and force him not to run. but biden's the only person who make that decision. he's in a tough spot, especially with a very unpopular vice president. there's no obvious successor an

the lead author behind the study, dr ruth brauer — lecturer at university college london's school ofund to this study is that we were aware of animal studies showing a potential protective effect of pde5 inhibitors on the risk of alzheimer's disease. we were aware of us colleagues doing studies on this topic, but they were not able to follow people for a long period of time. so we decided to use uk healthcare data, historic uk health care data to follow a group of men with erectile dysfunction diagnosed by their gp and to see if the man who received viagra and other pde5 inhibitors had a different chance of developing alzheimer's disease. we found that over five years, there were on average more men in the group that used viagra and other drugs, viagra and other drugs, had smaller chance, an 18% smaller chance of alzheimer's disease. it is a preventative effect. we can't really say there was a causal effect. and we are recommending that clinical trial units across the world maybe look into pde5 inhibitors as a repurposing drug so it could potentially be repurposed for alzheimer's dis
