10:30 pm
constitution of india, why would you mind that association of democracy, nvidia and the government has been curtailing internet services in la doc arresting young leaders and cracking down on demonstrations residents where the situation could descend into violent, similar to the decades long conflict elsewhere in kashmir, months of talks between new delhi and leaders from a dock have ended in deadlock, demonstrate to say they are willing to do whatever it takes, even fast to death, unless their demands for protection against outside influence are backed. same bus route, the older 0. supermarkets in several countries are coming on disgrace any of the price. gouging in australia and government inquire into the grocery sector has been launched in using and shop is paying some of the highest prices in the world. wayne, hey, reports from oakland of the easy land is in a recession, money is tied to so many and more than any with that's being felt in the supermarkets. there were just 2 major grocery companies in new zealand,
10:31 pm
which control 80 percent of the markets. squeezing consumers and supplies. on the same time, i only have one or 2 night just as my pets to sell to. i don't feel like they're able to put a livelihood risk, and i will say drug safety, the 10s that i could buy from us or not. and me delegations of price gouging at anti competitive behavior. last year the government introduced amended 3 code of conduct for the grocery companies. there been many complaints, again, supermarkets, both here and in australia, including advertising, special discounted price is on products. would you like to have found to be more expensive than the original price or combo deals on items which it cheapest is bought individually? in australia, $2.00 companies have 65 percent of the markets and the being criticized. be using inflation as an excuse to keep increasing prices. nice. i agree to be interviewed
10:32 pm
by l g 0. but the government is investigating the industry. we hope that these inquiries will not only encourage supermarkets to do better by consumers, but encourage the government to introduce strong the laws and protections for consumers. there's more competition in places like great person in the united states, but in the us, food prices have increased 25 percent in the last 4 years. the new zealand and australian markets a smaller and the full, less attractive to foreign companies to into it's the consumers itself is perhaps now more than ever. wayne, hey, elder 0 oakland. okay, that's it for me. my name's ty denise continues here on al jazeera, off to one. 0, one news. the the
10:33 pm
challenges with the across the was tens of thousands of monkeys. i used was scientific research every year. it is incontrovertible that we need non human primates for live saving research. high demand is leading to a search and traffic ingles wide monkey that should have dangerous consequences for humans. but they know darn well. these primates are going to end up smuggled into another country. united states or somewhere else, and that they could potentially be carrying diseases that could be spread to human beings. they don't care. activist and conservationist fit, testing is cool and in humane we are often see pain, suffer and die. let us don't clean that we don't harm we don't tucked
10:34 pm
we do. we exploit as scientists work on all done it just to animal testing. so my husband gives monkeys new lies beyond the border tree. come phone tag this some p to rule. as i said with you to fill out what type does that mean with about 12 inches deep, all in the 2nd part of a special investigation? $1.00 oh, $1.00 east drivers to the us front and india to examine the global business of monkeys for scientific research. the under the blazing deserts, sun and central arizona is heavily secured facility behind these fences live hundreds of monkeys or the washington national,
10:35 pm
pri make research center is off limits to the public but its director michelle bye so has agreed to take us inside the so as you can see we have a high level of security at our facility, the outer perimeter of the facility. we have a fencing with barbed wire as well as security cameras. and also in the inner perimeter of the facility we. we have the same fencing and camera system. and the reason we have this security is to of course protect our animals. but also because there are a number of special interest groups who are opposed to the kind of work that we do . and so we need to protect our employees, the full 167, big gauge, mach jacks at the center. hi there,
10:36 pm
brad here to be used for research. the, the animals are born here. we do not have animals from the wilds. these are all purpose bred animals and we provide them as a resource to bio medical and behavioral research scientist across the united states. they stay with their families. so the, so the moms and, and her, her babies and their, their siblings are living together. 95 percent of find a move used in labs are rats and mice. but scientists see that bryan meets are essential. so studies and feels like you're assigned. one of the things that i'm trying to understand is to unravel the complexity of the brain. the brain is the single most complicated oregon and the universe,
10:37 pm
and we don't understand it at all. one area in particular is called the prefrontal cortex. it's the region of the brain, that's right in frontier rodents and mice don't have that region of the brain, but non human prime x 2 monkeys do. and that's one critical reason why we need to continue to study those animals because it's that region of the brain that goes bad in diseases like skews of for any depression. autism the, the bryan made itself well. bas brad in captivity, to minimize the risk of spreading infectious disease to human and other animals. it can be a slow process. the female mac jacks kill give birth every year. with all of the monkeys have to be at least 4 years or this full that can be
10:38 pm
used for neuroscience research. today, the styles have just discovered this month is pregnant or uter. it's right here. here's the really remaining. sure. but the us doesn't read enough monkeys to meet the demand from the concrete slabs to cover the shortfall. it imports small primates than any other nation. china was the main supplier until the band exports in 2020, off to the cool, big 19 pandemic, kicked in january 2023. a us government report concluded that the shortage of monkeys,
10:39 pm
the research was that the crisis going to the, arguably the last century. and current century, the medical discoveries have all been based in a medical research using animals to the co. vic vaccine is a perfect example of that. it is incontrovertible that we need non human primates for live saving research. the, the shortage of primates available for the medical and behavioral research has, has definitely impacted medical discovery and scientific discovery. it's, it's slowing down research progress by so says the solution is for the us to read all of the slide on the move in captivity. it's imperative that the united states become self sufficient and not rely on other countries for their
10:40 pm
supply of resources for buy and medical research. and that includes non human primates. the since dr. mills export band. the us has depended on countries like cambodia and more issues to supply last month until recently. this cambodian facility called viney by a research was the largest exporter of long days with jacks to the us. the farm exported more than 40000 lives, mac jacks to the us from 2020 to 2020 to the bucket. us of parties a ledge that some of those animals with small boot and illegally add new comma is a form of bound to traffic and agents. he spent 20 years investigating wildlife smuggling people are selling animals that are raised in
10:41 pm
a captive environment completely legally. in accordance with international law and us law, but quite frequently those industries are used to launder wild caught animals that are captured from the while brought into these facility as and then sold as if they were raised captive. we an obvious way to go ahead and smuggle is to falsify those documents. to day he's speaking at an event organized by freelance account trafficking, n g you we've got a former federal special agent. we always send undercover agents to those to scope it out because inevitably, if you ask the right questions, you have the right knowledge and you have the right amount of cash. there is always going to be an illegal animal for sale at the shows under the table. you comma says and move on just drastic alive. it may be parts of their bodies come in for medical
10:42 pm
research, and that could be as small as a tiny skin skin sample or even a blood sample or some other fluid or tissue sample that looking at it. you might not even know that that came from a primate. it's almost impossible to track that back to any kind of record keeping . even with live monkeys, it's not easy to lean information off, and when one of our wildlife inspectors goes to inspect the shipment of primates, they're forced to essentially peer through a small window into a dark container. and when you're looking through a small port, whole window and a bunch of eyes looking back at you, really all you can do is estimate how many animals are in that shipment. you can't really do a physical inspection of their bodies to determine whether or not it's consistent with being captive raised versus wild. so it's very difficult. the u. s. government
10:43 pm
gathered evidence including this secret down rough footage, which led to the indictment of duke and body and officials, and 6 members of brian me breeding facilities viney buyer research. it shows one of the cambodians allegedly participating in the smuggling of wild with dex. this video was shot in 2019 before co it and yet the individuals here who are handling these primates in the cages are wearing protective gloves and face masks, selling wide gall dynamos, isn't just a conservation problems. it could have dire consequences for human has. they know darn well these primates are going to end up smuggled into another country, united states or somewhere else. and that they could potentially be carrying diseases that could be spread to human beings. they don't care to care about
10:44 pm
themselves, but they don't care about anybody else. the and southeast asia is in there on the dog and the just the raw has obtained. and in doing an indian government memo from may 2022, which won't why life officials that the us research lab was an generally attempting to illegally soles. monkeys from the country a sports person for the company denied the allegations. indeed, as wildlife crime control bureau declined to provide further information in new delhi primatologist. and in just in house fees that india is an easy target for traffic goes with this large population of recess, mac jacks, the country was once the was biggest export of was probably made
10:45 pm
a lot of medical research became dependent on this book. right. i mean, yeah, it was an important source of these. my gods funded less than the monkeys, but in 1978 india band, expos often reports that the us used monkeys in military weapons testing rather than for medical of vaccine tests. as agreed, monkeys are considered secret by hindus temples across the country are dedicated to the worship of the monkey guard on him on outside the temple. we have large groups of resist my thoughts and they are tolerated because we have for the presentations off on demand. that dollar is, is one of the reasons why the recess mcgaffey is now private. the,
10:46 pm
now some species like the reason the bonus. i'm the long feeling, my kids have a natural neat propensity to move towards human hesitations. to co exist with people who live with the property, the magicks us so prolific that some indian states have declared them them and it is now believed that they are the 2nd most successful primate in the world. often humans, because the distribution is the largest distribution range amongst the non human products to and this became the reason why they became the borders during prime age of choice. but they not so popular in some as to a neighborhood. when monkey cheeses like locks went to mark a higher to drive them away, and more than so i'm going to say the got that total. so i'm going to say, how do you?
10:47 pm
oh, oh i hm. mm hm. oh oh, the engine. so let's get beach may be bought to put the and then the above seen was going to the gym of they cannot zip condom. is that so i'm going to go and you've got a sample of dental, some little guy with a boost for me. i got that, but i got it done yet. they decided that there was something on the side because there in may 2023. the gaps were removed from india as protected species list, sparking fear among conservationists. that exports could be legalized again, or lead to trafficking st. how believes that you shouldn't underestimate the consequences of snatching out and move from the natural habitat. family groups are separated,
10:48 pm
and infants and juveniles are separated from their mothers. and it causes a tremendous amount of social disturbance in these populations, which we just don't think about. i mean, know how come here to be in behaviorally sophisticated they are how complex they are and yet to put them into a gauge doctor, we should light and keep them all the lights. he also believes that science isn't the only factor to consider ricky thinking that if i have a degree, if i look in the research institution or a university and best place to understand the macbooks. and so if we don't continue with animal experimentation, let's be aware of the impacts of 5 actions. let us don't mean that we don't harm we don't tucked, we do. we exploit the back in the us admin rights activist stuff protesting outside the university of
10:49 pm
washington. seattle campus so we're at the university of washington the and there's an absence on the sign in march. the university did shut down the, the university keep smooth and full 100 try me to it's part of the washington national primate research center run by michelle gossen. she says she's frequently targeted, but animal rights groups i received death threats, messages on my telephone mailings to my home that were threatening. i just this information about me about my recert horrible things protests at my home.
10:50 pm
and i think that it would be wonderful if we as a society, could have a civil conversation about the ethics of the use of animals, environmental research and behavioral research. i think that's been very hard if not impossible, in light of the polarization that that topic produces. boss who says it's vital that the use of primates for medical research is date, key controlled. we want to regulation. so it's imperative that we have regulations is, are very precious animals, every one of them. so it is very highly, highly regulated, multiple government sources. institutions oversee some of the monkeys from the arizona breeding, not abroad here for research to the boss who is conducting memory tests on
10:51 pm
full geriatric female mac jacks, which good head scientist understand memory loss and humans with alzheimer's disease. this is a very important what we call cognitive memory tasks. we know that people the memory, the delay time to remember, decreases with age. and also it's very short to 0 in people who have age related diseases like dementia and alzheimer's. so we're looking at the animals to see whether we can see evidence for aging. but some scientists are looking for new ways to reduce animal testing. in january 2023, the f d. a us agents are responsible for protecting public health. through that was no
10:52 pm
longer mandatory to test new drugs on adams. dr. kelly on it. uh it is a michelle bass. oh, really nice to meet you. go to dr. ed kelly is associate professor of pharmaceutical at the university of washington. he's working on new technology called all gonna on shift, which he believes could help reduce reliance on adam. so what you're looking at here is, is a kid, each kid be on a trip. this is something that is we've been using the complement of animal studies . and so what we can do use a system for is by putting in human cells, we can better predict how a drug or talks and or other kinds of compound is going to behave in humans. because this type of technology compliments animal safety data, animals testing. and the reason why this is a good complement of that is because these have human cells and then because of human cells and then we have a better way of predicting how something will behave and humans before we actually ever do a clinical trial. experimenting with human cells in this way could reduce the need
10:53 pm
for animal testing with some thoughts of the body, such as the brain and the nervous system cannot be reproduced effectively on a chip. yet, there have also been advances in computer modeling using artificial intelligence. certainly where are nowhere near of replacing animal testing? this technology does. he also is far too complex. this much of a reduction is approach to understand certain portions. in this case of the kidney talking about the complex interactions of many different organs, is something that we're not out there yet. he went on a ship really would be at that forefront. that if it is fully functional, would allow us to replace animal testing. are we there yet? not by long shot. ok. so now scientists say primates remain crucial for biomedical research. but some of being given new lives beyond the border tree
10:54 pm
on the outskirts of virus is left and essentially for all kinds of fine to move, including those ones used in scientific research. the century houses 22 retired live monkeys from across europe. this female recess, mcgarr cause can survive 19 years of experimentation in french labs. she was the 1st lab monkey to be given into you home at lot. then you can come to the end of the pipes because what i mean, that's because i would say in the books, you think it's the i q moment methodologies to, to live in this and the focus on public rhetorical. my says it onto yeah, it's robin. do let plenty of smoke and then messaging expects it tends to move from college to some past more level. a $64.00 on twist, meaning that as low. let me check now still has the occasional outburst,
10:55 pm
but the testing performed on here was not invasive. unlike drum it, he was subjected to experimentation that involved interventions in the brain. evaluation was excellent, and youtube and pieces and physical if supervision. according to that event, 11 was goals please. soon as you come in on the other con, me a little to see you. so in addition to that, that, to me, cuz he did say, well, if you need to put him on the title, thunderbolt consumer reach. so need to present to us that this move is dr. yvon. balance is responsible for bringing enrollment to the century. used to perform surgical procedures on him at frances national center for scientific research. it is, if you know the deals, is that what 2 diesel cruze off up as well as you move when you have it cool. shifted all of it to the now clicked on what i see i'm to best young is preschool,
10:56 pm
sab, misplacing, and that, that small i makes, is in it. don't do the whole thing. do you have any concerns to see what i skipped was to me on the, to contemplate this. i see some p to new license ibp. eventually he decided that monkeys liked and now i'm grommet had had enough. let's see the shows community, but don't you don't you don't call using that the on faith level type. does that mean with about 12 inches deep? all it don't call no veiling for 2 books exist anymore. the, these monkeys would never survive in the wild, often assume any use inside research labs for most, this is the 1st time in their lives that they've seen so much natural light and suppression. the, the thing to be written with them on
10:57 pm
a new component was the southern fucking yourself with the loop in with them on the, the other 2. not if you see them. yeah. the visual to the, to the, to offer with the new stuff and thought to do the always you don't see the show. see, can we because it goes, it's called the now for the my dad though example don't, don't contribute ourselves. prime, a testing remains a deeply divisive issue. bidding scientists against animal rights activists was small blows, benefit from the global demand. but as long as humans are able to lead longer, healthier lies tags to monkeys like canal enrollment. the question will to assist is the sacrifice just to find the
10:58 pm
if we cannot agree on how to coordinate space traffic management, we risk those to safety and the sustainability of space and worryingly, the breach of peace and security. in outer space, people empowered investigates the proliferation of commercial satellites, and the far reaching influence of those who funded it's at a tipping point. and we have a small window of opportunity to curtail catastrophic event. fighting for space on a dizzy to ramadan is a time of mercy transformation. worship, reward for every good deed is multiplied by 70. it's also brings nicely to the millions of people around the world to us suffering traps, injury to conflict, devastating disasters, and abject poverty. to make use a cat to human appeal,
10:59 pm
now to help save lives on trumps phone communities. now, scientists say primates remain crucial for biomedical research. but some of being given new lives beyond the border tree on the outskirts of virus is nothing is essentially for all kinds of fine to move, including those ones used in scientific research. the century houses 22 retired live monkeys from across europe. this female recess, mcgarr cause can survive 19 years of experimentation in french labs. she was the 1st lab funky to be given a new form at lot than yet. on counting, the costs to india is economy as on the vines, but the nation's wealth gap is whitening us as spending millions of dollars to
11:00 pm
clean up its industrial facilities. costs millions of uses around the world will now have to buy microsoft office without counting the cost on out of the era. the israel says of a 300 trucks have cross now into gaza, the most in one day since school began 6 months ago. the hello, i money in sight, this is owned is there in $19000.00 also coming up this row, which was most of its troops from con units and golf of south. but the defense minister says is to pass a future operations including one in rough.
