What is ‘Disease X’ and what are the plans to stop it? – BBC News
One of the UK’s most secretive centres of scientific research – Porton Down – is aiming to stop the next pandemic “in its tracks”.
Located in the Wiltshire countryside near Salisbury, UK, the new facility is one of the few places in the world equipped to research some of the most dangerous viruses and bacteria.
The new vaccine research centre is concentrating on three main things: known infections that are getting harder to deal with, like antibiotic-resistant superbugs, potential threats like new Covid variants and “Disease X” – something unforeseen that takes the world by surprise.

One person has been killed and 11 injured in a second strike on the international airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh, officials have said.
A Saudi military spokesman said a projectile had hit King Khalid International Airport on Sunday, causing a fire in a passenger hall. Saudi Arabia’s civil aviation authority said in a statement that one person, a Pakistani resident, had been killed in the attack.
It comes a day after a strike on the same airport killed 13 people and injured 308 others.
The Houthis in Yemen said they were behind them and warned airlines and passengers against using Saudi Arabian airports and airspace.

Inside the secret factories making Britain’s fake cigarettes – Behind The Investigation | BBC News
One in every six cigarettes smoked in the UK is counterfeit.
In this episode of BBC News Behind the Investigation, Melanie Stewart-Smith talks to File on 4 Investigates reporter Jane Deith about how the team uncovered the global criminal networks flooding Britain with fake cigarettes, and the human cost behind every cheap pack.
Jane explains how the team traced the supply chain from secret factories in Belgium to corner shops, minimarts and cash and carries across the UK.
We also look at why gangs are moving from drugs to fake cigarettes. A former senior Europol official says they now make as much money as they do from drugs, with far lower prison sentences if they’re caught. The profits are being used to fund weapons, people smuggling and even terrorism.
Do people really know what they’re funding when they buy cheap cigarettes?

Americans will head to the polls in 17 days to decide how the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency will play out.
Thousands of races are taking place across the US, at different levels of government, on 3 November. But the main event for voters will be electing members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the two chambers that make up Congress. Both of them are currently controlled by the Republicans, the president’s party.
The success or failure of Trump’s final two years in office could rest on the outcome.
The BBC examines the key battleground states and what the Republicans and Democrats are doing to win these crucial midterms.

by the way they used these terms "chemical warfare" and "biological warfare" seems like something worst is going to happen in which these countries will battle against each other through the use of pathogens and viruses as weapons.

and all these "scientists" dont even feel ashamed at themselves. They actually go home and look at their children in the eyes and pretend to care about them. Absolute dem0ns. This applies to everyone who complies, of course, nhs, etc. And they know it's true, they dont need to pretend to be offended. Absolute dem0ns without a soul
