Professor Alan Trounson - World focus on stem cell research


Professor Trounson's presentation focuses on how stem cell research has the potential to yield groundbreaking new tools to understand and develop therapies for CP and related brain disorders. He also discusses the challenging nature of the research and its high risk to investigators which in many cases requires novel interdisciplinary collaborations and an increased focus on translations. Professor Alan Trounson is President of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) in California, the state's $3 billion stem cell agency. He is a pioneer of human IVF and associated reproductive technologies including diagnosis of inherited genetic disease in pre-implantation embryos, and the discovery and production of human embryonic stem cells and their directed differentiation into a range of cell and tissue types.

Iran admits to secretly building second nuclear plant


Just six days before Iran, the US and the worlds other leading powers hold talks on Irans nuclear program, a potential showdown over the issue emerged on Friday. At the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh, US President Barack Obama, Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain and French President Nicholas Sarkozy disclosed that Iran is building a new uranium enrichment facility that could be used to make nuclear weapons. They warned Iran to come clean about its secret plant or face new, harsher sanctions. The facility is near Qom, the Shiite Muslim holy city about 100 miles southwest of Tehran. On Friday afternoon, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad held a news conference and said the facility will not be operational for 18 months, insisting Iran has complied with United Nations disclosure rules. Fariborz Ghadar, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and professor at Penn State University, joins Daljit Dhaliwal to discuss the military significance of this newly-discovered uranium enrichment plant and the impact on nuclear talks. worldfocus.org

Somalia emerges as birthplace of terrorism, piracy


In the southeast Australian city of Melbourne, hundreds of police swept through 19 houses, arresting four young men in what they say was a plot to blow up a large army base outside Sydney. Officials said the men were Australian citizens of Somali and Lebanese descent with ties to a group linked to al-Qaeda. In Somalia, pirates have released a German container ship and its crew. The ship was captured 400 miles off the coast of Somalia and the crew was held for ransom. On Monday, the owners of the ship paid the pirates almost $3 million. Sarjoh Bah, a senior fellow at New York Universitys Center on International Cooperation, joins Martin Savidge to discuss the chaos in Somalia, Somali militants abroad and Hillary Clintons expected visit with the president of Somalia. worldfocus.org
