the world health organisation sees Zika virus needs a response. | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
US presidential hopefuls make their final pitches | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
I'll happily test on the campaign and Iowa. | :00:35. | :00:56. | |
The culinary world reels from the apparent suicide of one | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
We'll discuss the industry's pressures. | :00:59. | :01:11. | |
The World Health Organisation has been meeting to discuss | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
The world health organisation has the clear and Zika virus I global | :01:22. | :01:32. | |
emergency. It said a coordinated response was needed. After a review | :01:33. | :01:47. | |
of the evidence the committee advised that it constitutes an extra | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
ordinarily invent and a public health threat to other parts of the | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
world. In The View a coordinated international response is needed to | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
minimise the threat and reduce the rescue. Members of the committee | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
agree that the situation meets the conditions of a public health | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
concern. I have accepted this advice. I am now declaring that the | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
recent cluster of abnormalities reported in Latin America following | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
a similar cluster in 2014 constitutes a public health concern. | :02:41. | :02:52. | |
A very alarming sounding declaration. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
What does this mean? This puts it in the same class as Ebola. The whole | :02:58. | :03:09. | |
point is to get research going to fast track it. | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
It is a key priority for the countries involved to tackle this | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
condition. You mentioned Ebola. There was | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
criticism of the world health organisation after the outbreak at | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
the time it took for that to become an emergency. | :03:33. | :03:42. | |
The Dr was talking about how now is not the time to weights. | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
We need a lot more research but she said it is important that all of | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
this cause I head now even with the uncertainties. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
She said it was a strongly suspected link that it had not yet been | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
proven. In terms of how many countries are | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
affected did they get a sense of how it is predicted to spread? | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
We have heard before from the world health organisation that it is | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
expecting most of the Americas to encounter this virus. It is spread | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
by mosquitoes. There are 20 countries at the moment reporting | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
cases of this infection. The advice at the moment for pregnant women is | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
that these should think about whether they should be travelling to | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
these areas, seek medical advice, and cover up and protect themselves. | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
More than 20 countries in the Americas are trying to fight disease | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
macro. Brazil is the worst affected country. | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Our Science Editor, David Shukman, has sent this report from Recife | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
A young woman four months pregnant has just heard she may be infected | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
An agonising glimpse into a nightmare here | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
Another pregnant woman who asked us not to show her face says | :05:21. | :05:31. | |
This woman has red eyes - a typical symptom of the Zika virus. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
She is due to give birth in two months' time and she is waiting | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
I am feeling worried, she says, because she has aches | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
and a rash which are also indicators of the virus. | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
And what makes everyone here more anxious is the uncertainty. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
What's so disturbing about what's happening here is that women | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
are turning up with a lot of highly personal, very pressing questions | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Above all, what damage can Zika virus do to their babies? | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
The painful moment when test results are handed out. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Evidence is growing that the virus is to blame for deforming babies' | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
brains but it's not certain so there's no way | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
When you see the ultrasound has something wrong you have | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
to tell her and then you know that after you tell her she will ask | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
If the children will walk, will hear properly, will see | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
Like several thousand babies in Brazil, this baby was born | :06:43. | :06:52. | |
with a small brain and unless she is rocked all the time | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
The mother, Michaela, is clearly overwhelmed. | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
It is not the moment to get pregnant, she says. | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
So far nobody knows where the virus comes from. | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
All this adds to the urgency of killing the mosquitoes that | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
But reaching them is difficult so from today officials | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
have a new power, to break into homes if they need to. | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
So the authorities are harnessing the Carnival spirit. | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
A mosquito costume raises awareness of the dangers. | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
Anything to get people to join the fight against the insects. | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
All day as Michaela rocks her baby she worries about how | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
This glance shows that there is some brain function. | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
But no one can tell how this crisis will unfold. | :07:53. | :08:09. | |
Let us stay in Brazil. Brazil facing the brunt of the Zika virus. Any | :08:10. | :08:20. | |
reaction to the declaration by the world health organisation. This is | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
welcome because it will get the attention and the funding perhaps to | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
develop a vaccine for the virus. This is a 2-pronged attack. The | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
eradication of mosquitoes is a must and that is happening in many areas. | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
It is difficult in a country where the species of mosquito is | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
widespread. The next thing is try and develop a vaccine against them | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
by this itself. International efforts, international cooperation | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
and finance is very important in that regard because of putting at | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
least one year, possibly five years to develop a vaccine. The other | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
least one year, possibly five years slightly good news for Brazil is | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
that despite this dramatic declaration of an international | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
health emergency there was no further travel advisory people not | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
to come to Brazil. We have got Carnival now and the Olympic Games | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
later on this year in Rio de Janeiro. Of course there is travel | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
advice already out there. Pregnant women and women wishing to get | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
pregnant. Finally it is important to point out that 4000 suspected cases | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
in Brazil but only 300 confirmed cases. They are still going through | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
the process of looking at the other suspected cases to see Ed they are | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
also -- to see if they are verified. I do. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
US presidential hopefuls are making their final pitches | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
to people in the state of Iowa, where the first votes for party | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
nominations will take place later on Monday. | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
Polls suggest that Republican Donald Trump has a narrow lead over | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
Ted Cruz, but both are well ahead of the others. | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
The Democratic race is slightly tighter, with former US Secretary | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
The great thing about Iowa is that it is so traditional. | :10:16. | :10:27. | |
It is a state as wedded to its political dos and don'ts | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
Or to its small towns where nothing seems to change from one election | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
This election Donald Trump has defied all the Iowa norms | :10:38. | :10:58. | |
He travels the state by private jet with his name screaming | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
He whizzed into the state's biggest political gathering in a helicopter. | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
And then most cardinal of all Cardinal sins, | :11:14. | :11:30. | |
And once again his approval ratings went up. | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
What is this - an abusive relationship? | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
So the question is have Iowans just discovered their inner New York | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
billionaire or have they concluded that the state of the country | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
is so miserable that they are going to take the rule book and toss it | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
Because when they are not flirting with the Donald they are | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Bernie Sanders' politics are the opposite of Trump's | :11:53. | :12:05. | |
How has a grumpy self declared socialist who doesn't even talk | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
about his faith done well in this conservative heartland? | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
This Government belongs to all of us not just a handful of billionaires. | :12:14. | :12:23. | |
To many Americans, advocating free health care and free college tuition | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
as Bernie Sanders does is as extreme as telling Europeans that | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
In a normal election it would simply be outlandish. | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
I see conservatives that are drawn to him and his ideas basically | :12:36. | :12:48. | |
I like how he is not taking any money from billionaires or anybody | :12:49. | :13:01. | |
On Monday Iowa will tell us whether political norms really have | :13:02. | :13:11. | |
been upended in America or if politics as normal | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
Let's speak to our correspondent Gary O'Donoghue who is in | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
How are the Paul's looking? We have had another survey in the last 24 | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
hours that has on the Republican side Donald Trump I haired on 31% of | :13:28. | :13:39. | |
the vote versus 24% for Ted Cruz. -- Donald Trump ahead on 31%. It is not | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
much of a lead 20 take into account the margin of error but it is | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
something of a lead. On the Democratic side the latest survey | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
has Bernie Sanders ahead by three points. That puts the survey the day | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
before that had Hillary Clinton the points I haired. That is within the | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
margin of error so they are neck and neck. -- Hillary Clinton ahead. | :14:05. | :14:14. | |
Apparently she delivered coffee and doughnuts to her campaign team and | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
she wants to get the vortex later. Donald Trump was at a rally and he | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
did normal speech. He did his two of the things he hates. Then he said it | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
is important to get out to vote, even if you cannot walk, if you are | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
sick, go and vote. That is has advice for tonight. We will wait for | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
the voting to begin. This begins in about five hours' time and then it | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
takes three hours and the results will pour in where precinct by | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
precinct 1700 is little meetings around the country, we will see who | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
comes out on top. That will shape the race and the way it goes on to | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
the rest of the primary is, New Hampshire, Nevada. | :15:04. | :15:13. | |
And you can get much more on the Iowa caucuses | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, gives his take on the unpredictable | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
race taking place at the Iowa caucuses - | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
He says it is not so much retail politics as market stall politics. | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
That's at BBC.com/news or use the BBC News app. | :15:31. | :15:46. | |
Britain is the first country to approve the process of Jean editing. | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
Critics say it is the first stage towards designer babies. -- gene | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
editing. Now scientists can alter it | :16:05. | :16:13. | |
genetically. Researchers will be using the needed embryos left over | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
from IVF. I find it frustrating that I never | :16:19. | :16:54. | |
had answers as to why I kept miscarrying. This research had come | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
earlier and could have helped me provide answers it could have saved | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
a lot of heartache. This is a five-day-old embryo. Already the | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
sales are starting to differentiate. Scientists will edit the genes which | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
will go on to form the foetus but who will be do it? Gene editing is | :17:16. | :17:28. | |
cheap and accessible. It scans DNA, reading the called, looking for the | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
error. It uses molecular scissors to snip through both strands switching | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
of the faulty gene or enabling a healthy copy to be inserted. Both | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
techniques can treat or cure diseases, potentially. For some this | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
is the slippery slope which will lead to designer humans. In fact | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
gene editing is ready being used to change all types of life and that | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
may raise more pressing concerns. It has huge ramifications on the | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
environment in terms of insects, animals and plants. Ramifications as | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
to how you develop biological weapons. That is what you should | :18:13. | :18:21. | |
concentrate on. Designer babies has not happened and it will not happen | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
in the near future. It may take years before this research leads to | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
better fertility treatments that across all areas of science gene | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
editing is promising major advances. Improving human health is just a | :18:36. | :18:36. | |
part of fats. -- part of that. With me is Dr David King, | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
director of Human Genetics I do not have a problem with this | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
particular research. My concern is it is the first step on a process | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
that has already been mapped out towards the creation of genetically | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
modified designer babies. My previous guest said the slippery | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
slope is there but if you are willing to rate fruit where you do | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
not have too feared that in that footwear is regulation. That | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
metaphor always gets used. It is not an adequate metaphor. It implies | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
that something passive is going on. There are thousands of people | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
employed to constantly push us down that slope. The regulator, I do not | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
think it deserves to be called a regulator. That is the British | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
regulator. That does not deserve to be called at regulator. It never | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
sees no. It is an approval body. It acts as a cheerleader for every tech | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
dollar G. Like a lot of regulators it has been captured by the industry | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
that it regulates. I am sure that if the regulator was hugely speak for | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
itself it would refute what you are saying strongly but what about this | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
question of understanding what goes wrong in so many embryos, why they | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
do not come to fruition, why so any IVF treatments feel? And that | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
knowledge that we heard about in that report. People seeking answers. | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
Why do you want to stop that? I do not have a problem with this | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
particular piece of research what worries me is the next thing that | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
would be researched with the designed specifically to improve | :20:23. | :20:32. | |
techniques retreating embryos with a few to creating babies and there but | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
the proposal before Parliament. Already in 2014 it was oche to have | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
the patent embryos. You have only decided that as oche to genetically | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
change human genes so that is what we are going to be told then. The | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
problem is that we are likely to keep on. In the meantime surely you | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
are denying developments that have so much potential in a positive | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
sense. I am not denying that this particular research. But 25 years of | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
experience of watching how the scientific establishment works how | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
the industries and the radiators work, I have never seen a case where | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
the regulator said stop there you cannot do that. It does not happen. | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
Thank you. The United Nations' special envoy | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, is holding talks with the main | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
opposition umbrella group. Representatives of the the | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
Saudi-backed High Negotiations Committee arrived at the hotel | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
in Geneva where Mr de Mistura, is trying to launch indirect peace | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
talks between the Syrian Government The opposition group is demanding | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
that the Government lift sieges on rebel-held towns, | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
allows in aid, ends air strikes, Now a look at some of | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
the day's other news. A British woman, who took her | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
14-month-old son to Syria to join the Islamic State group, | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
has been jailed for six years. Tareena Shakil sent messages | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
to her family, insisting she wanted to die a martyr, and allowed her | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
toddler to pose for photographs, 20 people are reported to have died | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan. the English club, Manchester City | :22:15. | :22:33. | |
have pulled off the biggest deal, but it's for a manager, | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
not a player. The highly-regarded Bayern Munich | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
manager, Pep Guardiola will become their new head coach | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
at the end of the season still in the race | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
for four trophies. The Chef Benoit Violier, | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
whose Swiss restaurant was named the best in the world in December, | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
has been found dead at his home. Mr Violier, who was 44, | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
ran the Restaurant de l'Hotel de Ville in Crissier, | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
near the city of Lausanne. It earned three Michelin stars | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
and came top in France's La Liste ranking of the world's | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
1,000 best eateries. Swiss police said Mr Violier, | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
who was born in France, With me is restaurant critic | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
and food writer Andy Hayler, who's eaten recently | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
at the Restaurant de l'Hotel de Ville, while Monsieur | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
Violier was Head Chef. A tragic story. How good a chef was | :23:18. | :23:33. | |
he. He was very good. He to go over from another famous chef. That | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
restaurant has a great history. The two meals I have had there are some | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
of the best I have ever eaten. I have been to every three star | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
Michelin restaurant in the world. He was at the top of his game. He | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
served fantastic flawless classical cuisine. It is a great shame | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
obviously for the industry and for his wife and their son as well. The | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
process of achieving three Michelin stars is quite something. There are | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
only 100 people who have achieved that in the world. Not just to get | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
to that stage but arguably ranked at the very top of that is quite | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
remarkable achievement. We cannot speculate about his individual | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
circumstances but what about the pressures of cooking at that sort of | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
level? The profession is tough and people work long hours. Financial | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
pressures, customers and so on. Who knows what happened in this | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
particular case. But it does put a lot of pressure on people. It is a | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
high-pressure job. Is there a sense that if our chef is feeling immense | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
pressure they are not in a position to let anyone else around them know | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
about it? That is true of any leadership position. If you are a | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
chief executive officer or a general you are supposed to be in charge and | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
