News. I think that's a happy thought the president of the United States says that his former chief strategist has lost his mind Steve on this quoted in a new book called fire and fury describing a meeting between Mr Trump's son Don Jr and a group of Russians as treasonous also at the meeting. Who prays on an open commission as as Mr Trump's wingman at the White House the Russians did offer Donald Trump Jr damaging information on Hillary Clinton meeting in June 26th . The fact is that this is causing a c.b.s. Said ructions in Washington Britney Shepherd was at the White House briefing this afternoon with a very unsettled set of Huckabee Sanders or Sarah Sanders as we know caller and she's the White House correspondent for The Independent Journal Review Hello Britney Hi Ron how are you thanks for having a good one for a good nice have you with us tell us a bit about Sarah Sanders 1st of all because she she had some awkward questions difficult questions to answer than she sure yes and all of us in the briefing room today were sure to crest there so address not only all of the strange thing and unsettling claims in this book that will be released next week but also many of the tweets that came yesterday and the flurry in Firestorm believe there were 60 maybe 70 and we were keen to figure out what Sarah's temperature was and what the president's temperature was when he saw the Guardian and then subsequently the New York magazine piece about the damage and about what marginally the president himself did indeed so the word treasonous is have very strong word to use isn't it of anyone and Steve Bannon uses it of dawn junior says he should have immediately reported that meeting to the f.b.i. . What was Sarah Sanders reaction to that particular quote Oh yes and to lobby treason against anyone is obviously no small claim Sarah was as she told us disgusted and appalled especially because the attack was so personal of course the president would be defensive of anyone in his cabinet but especially an attack on his own son Donald Trump Jr That definitely crosses the line into if you hit me I get back which is something that Sarah Sarah said about the president in the past so it's clear that they were shocked and appalled Have you ever heard her describe the president as furious about anything not necessarily of course with terrorism and nuclear war the president isn't keen on those 2 things but this need the president so I rate and it seems like Sarah Sanders wanted to let us know that this was personal and he was upset. Many of you of course would have come across Steve Bowden the White House wouldn't wouldn't too and you wouldn't recognize the president's description of Steve Brown on this being fairly and consequential I mean I'm paraphrasing but suggesting that Steve Benen didn't really have a much to do with his government anyway and you know that's simply not the case Pat Bannon was chief executive of the Trump campaign in its final 3 months and he transitioned into a White House chief strategist in 7 months 7 months after that before he was fired over the summer I wouldn't call that a small change coffee boy role at all they were close friends allies some other reporters saying that they were brothers like the Cain and Abel and to see them split and to see the president step out and address Mr Bannon as Steve in his statement is definitely surprising. When when he did go in August 27th it was because of remarks that he had made in an interview with the American Prospect wasn't he talked to them a great length. And really said some things which call the whole project into question of course yes and that kind of spiraled this and time I'd ban in sentiment within the ranks of the trumpet ministration back in October I had spoken to Anthony scary much the former White House communications director who as famously had a kerfuffle if you will. With Steve Zahn and I spoke earlier this evening to another former White House and ministration member who said that everything the president said in his statement was and I quote spot on so it seems that that kind of kick started this anti ban in saw from inside the house if you will. So what's the general view of Steve bottom from the from the White House press corps I mean do they believe the Steve Bannon is doing this is in a vindictive way or what's his motivation you know it's a really good question it's hard to put a finger on what Steve Bannon is actually thinking right now as we all know Steve Bannon has this anti g.o.p. Establishment view and certainly after the special election in December in Alabama where he lost in a very major way after supporting why more credible credibly accused child molester . Steve Bannon was the State and Alabama lost their Republican foothold so some of us might think that the bad in this looking to poker we're. Poke the fire a little bit at the g.o.p. Establishment and cause a bit of chaos in the house but we're not really sure of his intentions they seem to change all the time. And uncommon ask you about another story was came out later on which is that this electoral commission the commission which was set out with great fanfare to to look for electoral fraud has been disbanded by the president yet you make of that I mean in a flurry of news today we are hit with this other big story and I think it shows that the administration has gone grown frustrated with this fight to find millions of. Votes cast illegally the White House still maintains that there were illegal votes but they said in the statement that they didn't want to use valuable taxpayer money for this anymore so it seems to me and I think the other members of the press corps that the White House has grown tired with fighting you know that they want this Russian vest a geisha to wrap up soon I'm not quite sure if that's going to happen in their favor so it's a bit like cutting your losses I believe. But they separate thank you very much for being with us thank you very much and stay warm out there. Bread is for this White House correspondent for The Independent Journal Review a talk of staying warm I wonder if John over and this is fairly warm last time we where was he Jonathan there were 3 runs on the board. And now there are 24 and we are warm because the sun has come out road for the 1st time in the day it's a quarter past 1 in the afternoon here and that's a refreshing sight after the morning rain that we sat through here in Sydney there's been a very entertaining start to this Test match cook and Stoneman at the crease dome has got most of the runs he's 20 not out Cook is 3 not out dropping anchor but they've had to withstand a very aggressive opening spell by the Australian quick bowlers dark Hazelwood and Cummins But Stoneman in particular has impressed 3 boundaries for him one to the deep backward square boundary one to the backward point boundary in the pick of the shots a beautiful on drive back past Mitchell Starc to the lawn boundary for 4 so he's in good nick the sorry opener could well it's the last test of the series he's got to fifty's but hasn't yet to score a century on this tour what a time it would be if he could go on there but a long way from it at the moment Sturm and 20 cook 3 England $24.00 without loss. Hey thanks to the Eastern Seaboard of the United States which takes in Washington New York Boston is braced for what is called a bomb Cyclon. Weather phenomenon which are a weather bomb which officials say will arrive during this cold snap that's already claimed at least 11 lives apparently a severe and sudden pressure drop will lead to an explosive winter storm and lots and lots of snow on the coast us parts of the United States currently on the 10th day of record breaking Lou temperatures Valley joins us from Connecticut Ed are you on the snowy side or a less noise side I am on the very snowy. Roads near home much nor are you expecting in your part of the world you were expecting anywhere from 8 to 14 inches of snow here through the day on Thursday so certainly a pretty significant storm on the way. Now it's not just snow this because you know to make a big fuss about a just a snowstorm would be one thing but this is more than that isn't it what what can you tell us about this bomb Cyclon our Bumbo Genesis Yeah absolutely so this is still me is very impressive in that it's going to be strengthening very quickly off the eastern coast of the United States and that's going to lead to a lot of that snow across the what we call the I 95 corridor the main megalopolis of all the cities in the eastern United States Washington New York City Boston so it's definitely going to be a very dynamic storm system with a lot of wind and a lot of snow and I think we end is some of the the piece to this puzzle that some folks are talking about nearly as much as they should I think there's going to be a lot of very strong gusty winds blizzard conditions at times and ultimately that can lead to some power outages and obviously combined with the bitter cold in the snow that's going to be occurring that's definitely not a good situation you know indeed that that when that at this time of year it's driving. It surely bringing died she says into That's the main problem for for power and of course if if the power goes and you're in very very cold temperatures that's a serious problem exactly and that's that's the thing that we're watching very closely because like you said if we have these very strong gusty winds and you have snow on some of those trees that's going to be a recipe for some of these trees to fall in ultimately lead to those power outages and with the cold that we're going to be seeing that's going to lead to some life threatening conditions at times in parts of the Northeast United States. This is kind of isn't it for an event this cold in this prolonged. But have you got any ideas as to why it's happening yeah so typically we do start to see the storms developing off the East Coast as we get into January and especially into February but the recent cold snap that we've had has brought down a lot of very cold air from Canada from the North Pole and as that's come down when we have these pieces of energy coming in the atmosphere and what we call phasing together that allows feeds off of that very intense cold in the temperature gradient right along the coastline and that's where we start to see what we call the Bombo Genesis which is a term used when we see a storm deep in more than 24 millibars in 24 hours so that's in simplistic terms very intense. You know strengthening in a very short amount of time so if I mean it in a kind of old fashioned way if people still had barometers in the hallway they would see the pressure go right back at very very quickly Yes exactly and that's exactly what we're going to be seeing here over the next 12 to 24 hours. Oh by. Whatever we take from this do you do you attribute this then to a weakening of the the jet stream or they are the Arctic shark elation the thing that usually keeps all that cold air from the north right so that So I think that that's part of this we're seeing a very unique weather pattern developing across the northern Pacific Ocean and the audience very conducive to some of this colder air to spill down from the North Pole and come right into the eastern United States and that's what's really sparking you know the overall atmosphere conditions for the storm. Well winter has a long way to go thank you very much Absolutely I think you for having me and we have some news from Sydney Johnson over and the 1st thing in which it is down and it's Mark Stoneman cold behind by Would he keep it to him paying off the bowling of pot come into the 24 he played exceedingly well had been to that point to beautiful on drives to the boundary back past the bowler looks to have settled after a couple of early sketches but just a feather touch on the outside edge and Australia celebrating the 1st wickets with England $2841.00 James Vince out to join us to cook in the middle. Thank you Jonathan. Germany is so trying to put together a government tango America holding talks with the leader of the Social Democrats who previously said they wouldn't have anything to do with her about forming a new coalition Mrs macro sense right alliance has been unable to form a government since the inconclusive elections of September and Margaret Heckel is a German political analyst and biographer of Anglo American I asked her if there is a chance then of a new German government soon there definitely is a sense it could work out they met each other today and it talked of course during the last couple of days and. It Derry is a good chance that they will sort of get together however the Social Democrats are in quite problematic water because right after the election. Ahead small control said he doesn't want to go into a grand coalition and now he's sort of forced to explain to his party why he goes maybe into a grand coalition again and so that's the main problem how does Social Democrats behave themselves right but yet nobody wants I mean and we've learned this nobody seems to want another election nobody wants to get thrown back into that situation yes and that's mainly because both I'm going to Merkel's party and the Social Democrats will lose when there's another election coming up and they noted quite clearly and so they want to avoid it the parliament parents who are who have been elected want to avoid it because the stand you know it's the fear of losing their mandates again so everybody in Berlin is you know quite merry about new elections but if the Social Democrats don't move on or if the party doesn't vote for going into another grand coalition then they are bound to happen. Why would the Social Democrats want to go into another coalition Well one of the Christian Democrats the said they need to sculpt a need you know something to show today their electorate that they really did fight very hard and that they really won something and dead mice to be something in the health sector this talk of changing the way the German health system works it might be something in the migrant question especially the question of whether migrants who are allowed to live in Germany and who get political asylum can invite their family there their children or maybe deaf parents to come to Germany so there are a couple of questions which are sort of symbolic and and if the Social Democrats really manage to get. Important when there is a my. Mice of convince their party to vote for another grand coalition. But there's not an economic question that the Vita somewhere fairly agreed are they on how they want the the German state to progress yes because Germany the economy is working brilliantly at the moment and unemployment has been down concern Qantas constantly and we are now in a situation where we have asked you I'm employed persons as when the wall came down so that's a real success and the siddhis no real fights in terms of economic questions it's more in terms of migration policy and health policy and for a point of view of leadership in the rest of the you and Britain of course is there any discussion about replacing Mrs America or us are completely off the table and she's going to lead the next government yes she does and of course this always talk about it but so far from from politicians who are not very important and it's more like you know it's noise at decides and once she won she if she manages to get her another grand coalition is going to be elected chancellor for the 4th time it's quite clear that as soon as she is elected she will turn her attention towards European policy Breck seeds and use questions she won't focus on Germany because and that's just because there's so many open questions in the European arena Bret's it certainly being one of the most important and among. And that was Margaret hacker from Berlin and. It's exactly half past 2. From your league football anyone else this is b.b.c. 5 Live I'm sure you haven't been discharged so surprised Richard Foster has the b.b.c.

And Joe Kerry has the rest of the sport check to balance injury time strike and Arsenal a 2 all draw.

Extra. . If you're listening by the way the very beginning of the program and even when I was talking to Phil Williams You might have heard me getting terribly excited about a book called Hotel Scarface by Miami in the age of Miami Vice you know the t.v. Series which actually turns out to be a bit true however we look forward to this because I had spoken to the author Robin far as I had earlier on today but we will we bringing you that interview next week so something for me to get excited about all over again. Iceland has become the 1st country in the world to make it illegal to paid men more than women the law will impose fines on any company or government agency with over $25.00 stuff without a government certificate demonstrating pay equality as part of a bed to eradicate the gender pay gap by 2022 and we spoke to Thorston Figler Iceland's former minister of social affairs and equality this was his baby he announced that Iceland was introducing the law on International Women's Day last year. Corporation earth the social partners I looked the torch. Video the Furious. For me it looked like a very promising them and sector tool to eliminate the gender pay gap within companies at least. I was skeptical that it. Will internally I thought that in a manner so that it reached the entire markets. And this isn't this isn't a voluntary situation is it because the new law actually imposes fines on any company or government agency that has more than 25 people that doesn't pay men and women the same just that is true the. Monday that to implement the Who placed under it and the given time for. They temp is subject to find if they do not comply. And did you for const The cost to the government for example of making this happen and making up women's pay to the level of men's pay presumably didn't talk about bringing Di the men's pay to the level of women's pate. Well. This true we would rather expect to pay through ice rather than men's pay to be lowered or all of that can sometimes be the case no actually we did not go through the production junction of estimating for governments cost because of that. We thought. If there is then. Discrimination based on gender. But this is simply the cost that has to be borne by other companies or government to correct however we did try to estimate the the implementation costs for either. Government but these were companies and found that early estimated implementation cost could be somewhere in the range of one point point 3 percent of fun on your payroll. Would be highly acceptable. Weighing Bethlehem's a gender pay gap of 68 percent say so that was the big gap in Iceland that is the gap and I saw this a. Lot is the measure of the gender based this. What do you see as the benefits I mean apart from the fact that women will not the same as men what are the actual benefits from this. Well I think. We have seen for companies that have implemented the standard already and it is there it is increased confidence in the way it's setting within the company people view it as a fair procedure there is increased employee satisfaction as well so there are definite benefits for companies as well and implementing that something and what we also see within companies that have gone through this exercise is that the weight setting process becomes a little bit more formal a bit more structured and bigger is a bit more disciplined so definite advantages a Aside from the openers expenses but the most important factor of course is that it should be self-evident in this day and age that men and women should be paid the same we have had legislation both here and I something for most of the Western world banning discrimination based based on gender but still everywhere than you're selling us and same women are on average patzer ripped into 10 and 20 percent less than men even in the more advanced European economies so we thought it was time and with that we had the opportunity to take a decisive step to eliminate that I mean I had a people from some of these other had vanished economies talking to you about how they would implement it are you are you receiving inquiries from people who are interested in the same thing yes we have. The stunt of that some of this scientists an international management center so we're at this fairly easily adaptable to other economies. And we have inquiries from several countries and not just significant interests and following the effects of the implementation. Can I ask if you have had inquiries from the u.k. We received quite a bit of interest from the u.k. At the time when we were debating this earlier last year and also from the other Nordic countries as well Portugal or some of the countries that's been following and Switzerland to name a few so I think this could be. An example that current He usually adopted by other countries if they are interested you think you've broken the dam in fact in Iceland you have led the way and we definitely hope that we have we have been. Privileged and leading the world in when it comes to gender equality and we definitely want to keep it that way so that this this is one effort to try to stay in front we could say but at the same time we hope that both this endeavor move being successful and the other countries can learn from it and adopt it to their economies as well. And that was Iceland's farmer equality minister Thorson vigilance and. Well if we were talking earlier about jet streams and they are tech circulation imagine where the chesty must be like on Jupiter I've been speaking to Emma Alexander who joins our astronomy team from a job I can Manchester and Emma's been telling me about new discoveries about the jet stream on Jupiter much like the jet streams here on Earth cheap to has an East West jet stream that flows high above it's a quite a and the interesting thing about it that's been in the news recently as the about every 4 years it changes direction and this witching is called the quasi courtroom you know a selection or. Now similar selections of seen in jet streams on. So that house period of about 28 months and also exactly which. 15 years researchers have taken detailed observations over 5 years so that's a whole cycle of this keep you process whereas NASA has Infrared Telescope Facility in Hawaii specifically with an instrument called the Texas cross shall spectrograph . Measurements come at an area 40 degrees above and below the equator and approach the Invesco slices of deep his atmosphere. After comparing the data simulations the team concluded that something called gravity waves are likely to be the driving force of these oscillation So after ruling out several other kinds of atmospheric white. So just tonight gravity waves a not the same as gravitational waves you may know you good I'm so glad you mentioned that yeah yeah yeah you said gravity waves I just know it's complicated this isn't yet you may have thought yeah the recent Gravitational Wave detections from like oh and Guy goes that these are ripples in space time caused by the acceleration or deceleration of massive objects I think black holes are neutron stars whereas gravity waves are waves that carry liquids and gases physical part of patients that are driven by their storing force of gravity in a planetary environment c s unfortunately similar names but you very different phenomena very different like and how fast could the jet stream be on Jupiter I mean you know we've been a plane's been blown across the Atlantic by the jet stream but what. Could the jet stream be like on Jupiter Well that is a very good question and one that I am not sure off I'm afraid it's. A question for the future then but I mean that I'm guessing a bigger planet must have must have a mighty jet stream must be pretty scary Well I wouldn't put it so the if you observe Jeep to with a telescope even have you can see the bounding across It's faces that kind of different sections of its atmosphere and when when you're looking at your telescope and they kind of continue quite small depending on how good you telescope is obviously these. Sections about this are on Jupiter on the scale of to they are huge. So looking up in the sky appears that there is yet another meteor shower to be observed in yet another one yes so at the moment well tonight actually there is the peak of the question to meet your shower which is a yearly meteor shower of late December now January so beat around 8 or 9 o'clock this evening so it's is declining at the moment and it's actually a pretty fast decline. Though the meteorite only exceeds half its peak rate for around 8 hours now back to the past August for example that has a peak time about 2 days so right as we speak mystery is declining. But in the light on in the evening it's possibly still worth looking out for some tonight we do have the old stocks against us though because we've also got a reasonably full moon and well for the weather in the u.k. Doesn't seem that great at the moment I know and of course we've got the Super Bowl to contend with Yes So we actually got 2 super mains this month that for us to fall means that that fall in January so when we recently had one we'll get another one by the end of the month. So Superman. They are a little bit bigger they do a para little bit bigger in the sky compared to. A normal full moon but the difference is it's not as big a some. People might make out but it will still be quite bright and unfortunately will wash out quite a lot of the meteorites Well well now there's a coming together of Jupiter and Mars Yes So around the sickness I'm into January just before dawn will be treated to a conjunction of. So Miles with its distinct read a few apos about a quarter of a degree below the brilliantly by bright you saw in the sky this distance is about half the diameter of a full meal. So conjunction of these 2 pilots a code previously in October but won't happen again until 2020 and the 2 pilots will appear on the horizon a Toronto pass through in the morning and they'll reach a maximum altitude of around 20 degrees before the sun rises Toronto fate of these times are a little bit and in on exactly where you are based on where I am in Manchester. The reference clenched fist held a blunt is typically 10 degrees in the sky so the planets will only rise to face with above the horizon make sure that you've got a good view on the horizon to be able to catch a glimpse of the House and the Although as hard to believe in the depths of winter this from is actually no at its closest point to the yes so around 5 that t. And I am say yesterday morning now g.m.t. The us was around 1001600000 miles away from the sun for comparison the furthest part of its orbit is around 94500000 miles difference of 3000000 miles it might seem like a lot but on cosmic scales it's still reasonably small the average Well the apparent diameter of the sun in the sky any changes by around 3 percent and on average amounts to a 7 percent difference in the amount of energy we see from the summer but that is to not have too much of an effect on the weather that we experience and it does mean that winter is about 5 day shorter northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere and this can be explained by Want to Kepler's laws of motion must have clear that opening body will sweep equal areas in equal time so imagine a planet sweeping out an ellipse is all that star and you're a line from the start of the planets and that line moves with the planets the area that it covers is the area that strong now and that will be equal. So this results in the moving slightly faster around perihelion and that around the northern hemisphere winter solstice. M.r. Xander ph d. Shouldn't the University of Manchester we want to join Jonathan over and over at the cricket growed Jonathan Hello Rod she knows a lot of extraordinary stuff oh she does she does it's like fish in the world does . Here or there. Your world yeah in my word of the far more basic world of watching sports in the 441 James vents 2 with 2 not out along side I was to cook who is 12 not out and trying to recover from the early loss of Mark Stoneman who was caught behind off the ball in a pack Calvin's for a quick fire $24.00 was then taking innings while it lasted for boundaries but he'll be disappointed at the way he edged one behind from the pacemen come in so they just had drinks we've played for an hour have 441 England in their 1st innings Johnson thank you very much well let us return to the world of science now with Bianca greedy who's been looking at the weekend science for a little Bianca and a Happy New Year rod and a happy needy to. Well we've heard wonder this gene editing technique crisper and seems to have done it again. They have I mean Crisp is is such a fascinating piece of technology it and I mean I we're really just seeing the very openings of the door that fits going to lead into what what I mentioned will be an extraordinary few decades of work and probably reaching far further than that as well but in this particular case they've been looking at using the gene editing technique to correct genetic deafness now they've done this experiment in my spot this particular form of deafness is present both in Mohsen humans it's the same mutation so the gene that's involved is called t.m.c. One and it's known to be important for the normal function of the cochlea has cells so these are the microscopic hairs that line the the ear and these convert vibrations into electrical impulses that our brain then interprets as sound so they're pretty important and humans and mice have a form of deafness that results from a single letter you Taishan in this chain such just one base pay that's that's all to it but they dissed this recently discovered crisper has $9.00 Gene editing technology gives us the ability to selectively correct that one single wrong less stop so the studies that they used were recalled by the hope in mice which I thought was kind of cute so there's a there's a model that a brain mice you can play the piano or our eyes think about their own Absolutely that's why they're called by having less and possibly also because they go deaf a Funnily enough we don't actually know why her went deaf or one of the one of our I was reading one of the young possible reasons with syphilis which has nothing to do with them with genetics but anyway I digress so so Chris because 9 is a technology is that it was originally discovered in bacteria so they use it as part of a defense mechanism against viruses. And it allows us to pretty much get it out d.n.a. Or d.n.a. The way that for example a book editor might go in and correct a single typo or correct a word so it's pretty amazing technology so. So in this case they not only had to use this crisp because 9 technology to fix the mutation but they also had to work out how to get the whole component the Chris because one component into these tiny tiny his cells in the inner ear so they bundle them up with fatty molecules called limpets which can travel across the across cell membranes and scent sent the package where needed to go and what they found was that the treated my eyes had much better hearing than the control my studies with the mice who didn't see the Chris because 9 treatment and so they had the difference was for example the treated my reacted to a volume of sound almost on par with a rock concert so pretty loud sound and I reacted to it that was startled as you would be whereas the untreated control my son didn't react so they didn't hear it so even though this is just one mutation it's got potentially huge implications for deafness because around half of all deafness in humans has some genetic component so if we didn't if Yet when I saw it a human's. Yes and this was done I mean I'm just I'm I'm I'm back with the mice and I'm thinking about how the the leopard was introduced into the mice as a year of basic then injection was it of some sort Yes You know they did have to inject it but I mean the difficulty with these things is always how to get something to go where you need to go in the body because of this is you know one of the the big challenges of medicine is you want a treatment that's going to target a particular cell you've got to find a way to get it into that sill of to make it attractive to that cell so they did inject it into the in area but then the challenge was getting it across the the cell membranes and into these these little hair follicle so even though it's just in mice at this stage so it's very early days next you know the next step will be to try to implement this in humans released in human cells samples but then it does again I've been a whole range of possibilities down the line for potentially treating a lot of other genetic deafness issues. Well you might as well say whatever next a cure for baldness. Funny you should ask that so it is also about hair and oddly enough he does actually also start to some degree with the hair cells of the ear but this they're talking about the potential applications for curing baldness and so that's always a big thing so this is actually starts with the challenge of trying to grow out of fish skin so this is a long running medical challenge I guess to to be able to to lab grow or to have sort of laboratory grown skin because if you think about it the applications are endless and it used to be that if you needed a skin graft you'd have to take skin from one part of the body to cover the area that was burned or injured or would have the demo wherever the damage had been done because skin itself is made up of at least 20 different types of cells it's very very complex structure so it's incredibly difficult to grow this from scratch it's I mean I guess you could say the same but most bits of biology but one structure in particular has really started made researchers and that is the hair follicle because it is also a very very complex structure so what the researchers were doing in this case was they were actually trying to create a kind of a little model of the inner ear because they you've got these sort of skin surface structure but you also have these his cells like the ones who are talking about earlier and all these other little I guess elements so what they were trying to do was create what are called organ always so there's a miniature organ so kind of like a little ball of inner ear cells and they're using what are called pluripotent stem cells so these are cells or stem cells that can pretty much develop into any kind of cell thing and in this case they were engineering them to develop into skin cells and so they'd done what they needed to do to make to try and get these to. Grow into the sort of structure you see in India and what they notice was that these things suddenly started sprouting hair and the guy the research actually described them as looking at little balls of lint so the skin grows into a sphere that's got the kind of the structure the layers of the ear and then lo and behold these little hair cells were were forming and the hair follicles were forming and there was sprouting hair so but what was cool about it was it wasn't just sprouting in hair but it was also here that would normally grow for example on the surface of a mouse on the on a mass of skin so what they were basically doing is that they've they may have found a possible way to grow hair follicles so it's a little way off before we're transforming a cue ball into Fabio but it's definitely a step in the right direction but I think right and the men's buying habits when they have to go to the chemists and buy stuff for themselves apparently they they buy different stuff from women how about that. Well this is a. This is an interesting story and I realize I'm probably wading into it and. Opening a big can of worms but it's generally fairly well established that women have stronger a stronger environmental conscience than men so generally women little lists and they recycle more and they also tend to choose more sustainable more sustainable lifestyle and more sustainable products so there's long been a question of why it is you know this is a obviously this is a complex question is could be social reasons cultural reasons perhaps economic reasons but a group of researchers were speculating that maybe there might be a related a a gender reason in the sense that in more environmentally friendly products might be saved as being more feminine and that this might be discouraging men from buying it because it feels like a bit of a challenge to be a masculine so they did a series of experiments or they did 7 experiments that involved more than 2000 American and Chinese participants and though of course questions like that were asked presented with a scenario of someone brings a reusable canvas bag for their shopping and what they found was that both male and fame our participants a study subjects when they were asked who would you think of this person with a canvas bag perceive that person to be more feminine regardless of whether the person with a camera shop was Mile fame or. There was another time when the experiments were the very tip to spend to think about a time when they did something that was good for the environment compared to something bad for the environment and it turned out that when they were doing something good for the environment they perceive themselves to be acting more feminine So it's kind of a bit weird it's a bit worrying because it suggests that if men a feel of masculinity is threatened that they might actually go for a less sustainable product then if they're feeling fairly confident and secure in their masculinity so I don't really know what we do with that but it's a well thought out there for a beautiful voice. Thank you very much Jacko all of us. On cue.
