a new study seen exclusively by the bbc by the university of south wales and published in tomorrow's of one season, testing players in pre, mid and post—season. the players recorded just six concussions between them. however, all of them saw a decline in blood flow to the brain and a decline in cognitive function. the evidence is showing that there is a cumulative impact on the brain. so, we are moving away from concussion per se, and focusing more on contact. the research team say more evidence on the topic is needed and are in the process of completing further studies comparing past and present players with a control group. some former players, like shane, believe as well as educating, limiting substitution only when players are injured rather than as fresh legs against tied opponents, could prevent further injuries. however, the game's governing body says research is ongoing looking into this specific issue. in response to the new study�*s findings, world rugby said... commentator: steyn puts him down. with the introduction of more severe penalties for dangerous tackles, shane bel

she goes to the university of south alabama here in mobile and the students are like, what in the world are you going to do? you're going to be 40 years old when you finish. she says i'm going to open up a medical clinical on the north side of town. because the one hospital we had in this area was moving west. she said i grew up in this community. i've been here since i was 21. i love the people. they love me. and that's what i want to do. and so she did. she finished med school and she came over and started practicing in his office, seeing his patients because he had such a large patient base. ultimately she convinced their senior class and she came along with some of the other local doctors and started rotating through the office to see his patients. the family eventually -- i guess you could say donated the facility to the clinic for a dollar, and ultimately sister marilyn writes a proposal, a grant and he started franklin primary health care center in his name. and today you can go in here, you can see a medical doctor, an ob/gyn. you can see a dentist, optometrist, audiologist, you

of south carolina. what does a pro like you think when you hear politicians, prosecutors, history majors at the universityh carolina play scientist? how do you respond to that? dr. adalja: what we want is the state cap's republic health guidance to reflect the science of covid-19 and the best practices. it has to be a priority that schools be open for in person learning and it can be done safely. we knew how to do this in the pre-vaccine era. many governors are wrestling with this question as variant cases rise because of the unvaccinated populations that still does not get vaccinated in these states, which makes it more complicated to open schools. but i think we can do it and it should be something that needs to be done, but it has to reflect the epidemiology and the reality of transmission. tom: are you impatient that we have not gotten to full fda approval of the mrna vaccines? is impatience warranted? dr. adalja: definitely, impatience is warranted. this vaccine has been given to hundreds of millions of people all around the world. we have a lot of safety data, efficacy data, and the fda, even though

climate adaptation specialist at the university of washington in sydney, mark deezen doff and honory associate professor of environmental sciences at the university of new south wales. and in so paulo christiane metric d, a senior forest campaigner and greenpeace, brazil one. welcome to all 3 of you know, crystal ravens. you're a fire ecologist given the, the number of wild, far as we're seeing world wide. and i've just outlines some of them looking at the global picture. would you say this is normal? well, i think, you know, we're definitely seeing that warmer temperatures dryer somers associated with climate change are speeding up the wildfires that we have globally. and we're seeing a larger area burned by wildfires and more frequent large fires in many places around the world. and, but we also know crystal raymonds that wildfires can be a very natural and normal events. it does not fit in. so i think that's what we're seeing because it's difficult to hear while towards a common i'm seeing the scale of the wildfires in place that we wouldn't normally expect to see them. i mean, how married the t yeah, i think that's a very good question. we do have to reme

joining me now is michael sweat, the team leader of medical university of south carolina's covid-19 epidemiologyntelligence projects. thanks so much for being with us this morning. what's the current situation where you are? >> yeah. we're seeing severely increasing rates, day to day. in early july, we were down to the lowest we've been since the beginning. we were getting one or two cases per day. within weeks we are now just within a couple of weeks we are getting close to the maximum number of cases we've had from the beginning. and just to mention that our laboratory system here sequences the variants. and this correlated almost perfectly with the rapid increase in the delta variant. >> seems like it happened very, very fast there. so this is a rise in cases. where are you in hospitalization? >> we're also seeing an increase in hospitalizations. you know, hospitalizations lag somewhat from the case load, but we've seen doubling of the number of hospitalizations in the past couple of weeks. we're still well ka pas tated to handle that. we're worried when we look at the neighboring states, we

professor rayna mcentire, who has the bio security program at the kirby institute of the university of new south wales in sydney, australia thing to say the vast majority of its trail and just going along with the government restrictions and doing what they do. it's on the very small minority that of protest. and having said that, the protest in melbourne, which is the footage that he showed the victorian police said that that was the most violent. busy protest that stain in a very long time and i think it reflects that the impact on people's livelihoods and jobs, a lot of people in kind of the economy and customer facing rolls, the entertainment and restaurant industry. and that tries not been able to work. and that hasn't been adequate financial support for those people from the government to go along with the restriction. so people are frustrated. but that does not represent the majority of a strategy to try and do actually appreciate the logical coven 0. busy environment we've enjoyed, we've been able to lead fraley like other countries have not and do all the things we want to do for much o

well, earlier we spoke to mark decent or who teaches environmental studies at the university of new south wales. he says it's wealthy countries who have the greatest responsibility to reduce emissions. best job the politicians can do now is to, to respond and mitigate climate change, which is the main driving factor that increasing the severity and the frequency of these wildfires and also of floods. so we need action to transition to from fossil fuels, to renewable energy. we need to improve our public transport and facilities for active transport. we need to transform our industrial heat to renewable electricity . we know what the solutions are, that many politicians are resisting change because they are very close to the vested interest to the fossil field. industries that do not wish to change. it is the, the wealthy countries and the wealthy individuals who are producing the greatest carbon emissions and making the greatest contribution to climate change. and hence, the wildfires and floods that follow. so really it's the rich countries that to reduce their consumption, we have to re

a new study, seen exclusively by the bbc, by the university of south wales and published in tomorrow's like shane believe, as well as educating, limiting substitutions only when players are injured, rather than as fresh legs against tired opponents, could prevent further injuries. however, the game's governing body says research is ongoing, looking into this specific issue. in response to the new study�*s findings, world rugby said that they welcome the new research, that they have recently committed to doubling their investment in player welfare and new concussion research and initiatives, and that player welfare is at the heart of everything we say and do as a sport. steyn puts him down. with the introduction of more severe penalties for dangerous tackles, she believes the game has become safer, but anything that can be added to mitigate the potential risk of head injuries as welcome. people still ask, would you change anything, would you change the way you played, would you have not played? i wouldn't have because i was playing a game that i absolutely loved. tomos morgan, bbc news,

. >> i went it to the university of south carolina, this story rocked our state we all started makingced to prison. for you and your wife? >> it was -- it was an emotional, still is. it was something that we were very happy to finally be done with. so, it was just a relief to finally know that he is going to remain behind bars and that he won't be able to do this again to anyone. so that -- so for us it was just a major relief to move on from it. steve: what was she like? what was samantha like? >> samantha was really light heart offed, funny, really great kid. and the best way can i describe her, she was a great friend. he eight of her friends got up and couple of them didn't even get up to even speak. but each one of them said that she was their best friend. that just goes to show you the type of person that she was. that she was just really compassionate, great, loyal friend. ainsley: this could happen to anyone. so many of us take ubers, i have spent many moments down in five points where she stepped into that uber, which is where all the restaurants and bars are in downtown colom

my guest is our doctor maricel, aton director general of the south asian strategic stability institute university. that's in islamic. thank you so much. looking at washington d. c, a large crown gathered outside the white house people voicing concern over the fall of africa and government in the troop withdrawal waving, ask on flags and holding signs, proclaiming america betrayed to the african people. so demanding that the country opened, his borders to them immediately was easiest on off joins my colleague who received it in the studio to discuss how the telephone strong is being viewed in america. all we can do is just speculate as to how trump would have could have, might have handled the withdrawal would have been better, would have been worse. there's no way of telling because trumps no longer president and the president is a joe biden. and of course, it's difficult to whitewash this whole thing because and to make it look like a success which they are trying to do right now. because just think of it, the americans, they've been present and i've gone us to a new just short of 20 years. that

with the institute of american history at harvard university professor henry louis gates junior discussed the importance of the church and black communities. >> majority black stage. south carolina, louisiana, mississippi were majority of black states. was charleston, south carolina. georgia alabama and florida were almost majority black states for this a real concentration of black power as clyburn said to me in the film, and those six -- seven state street that was true even before the civil war. south carolina nickname was negra country. it was so full of a black people. that of course was because of the economy and the productivity of rights. in the expertise of africans brought to south carolina. the ame church he was brought by richard allen. it's formally a boy in 1860. in charleston there is a manual church. in 1822 and man was accused of plotting insurrection and charleston. how did he get free? he got free i want you to listen to this. and the complexity of slavery but he hasn't slaved a in 1799 he played this city lottery, the lottery it like he plays the grocery store or convenience store and he won $1500. he is 600 of those $1500 to buy his own freedom from

of epidemiology and medicine at columbia university. in hong kong, we have john nicholls, clinical professor in pathology at the university of hong kong. and from johannesburg, helen rees, member of souths ministerial advisory committee for covid-19 and covid vaccines. a very warm welcome to you all. thank you for joining us. i'd like to begin with you, wafaa. at the start of the pandemic, we were all saying herd immunity it -- we were all saying herd immunity, it was the buzzword. that's what we need, herd immunity. is that done and dusted now? is the cat out of the bag? >> i think we need at this point to really change the discourse and maybe change the narrative around what our goals are. and i think rather than using the term herd immunity, knowing that these vaccines we have, which are really superb vaccines, do not absolutely protect against every single infection, but yet, they protect against a severe illness, hospitalizations, and deaths. and maybe we should move to using more of a terminology of herd protection, rather than herd immunity, as much more of a feasible goal for all of us to try to achieve, to ultimately try to expand, scale up vaccination around the world, so we

of them experienced is. in the south bay, the stanford university expended the covid- 19 surveillance testing starting septemberh. faculty and staff will now have to be tested once a week regardless of their vaccination status. the policy was already in place for students. those who remain unvaccinated will be required to test twice a week. >>> big news out of southern california with the man convicted of assassinating senator robert f kennedy back in 1968, sirhan sirhan has been granted parole. the 77-year-old served 53 years behind bars. he was convicted of shooting the brother of president john f. kennedy in los angeles, two of rubber cut sons supported his parole effort. douglas county told the board he was moved to tears by remorse. robert of kennedy junior also sent a letter urging the release of sirhan sirhan. today's decision was not automatically assuring his release, it will ultimately be up to governor newsom. >>> a man accused of murder in oakland tried to make a cross- country escape by train. he died in a shootout with authorities in chicago. police say the 33-year-old jamar taylor wanted in conne

robert kelly, associate professor of international relations at present national universities that leads release is really part of a wider approach to white collar crime. in south korea, the korean government has a habit of releasing corporate bosses who have been convicted of various crimes. some of that was actually being sort of like physical salt. and some of the, some of this isn't just white color crime like, like, conviction but actual assault. and there's been a fair amount of criticism of that. and this is sort of a part of a large debate about sort of whether not create very largest corporation or mega corporations that dominate the economy. do they have too much influence on, on politics? my own sense, we haven't been too much from the, from the current government. right. i mean, the president current president got in because the president of course is impeached right. and leave with great big ghana. i think the current president moon has been content to sort of allow that digital process to play out. right. he got what he wanted, if you will, politically, from this years ago. and i'm not really sure there's too much left to be gotten from sort of sp
