News the World Chess Federation feed day has a new president could they devour covets the former deputy prime minister of Russia he won the vote in but to me John job the British Prime Minister Nigel Short dropped out of the race and pushed his support in the Russian's favor must advise riches count of the say sparked a lot of controversy given his high standing in Russian political circles but just because most of vodka but his Russian doesn't necessarily suggest there was a Russian finger on these electoral scales that was the question for Milan Dennett's the editor of British chess magazine if it was any other election maybe you could say that and this particular case we're talking about check that out when you have State football immediately think of Brazil. When you say chess if think of Russia. For Russian chess as part of that culture in there that they they've dominated the game. For a long time and they all this they want to have influence in that field the big the best players in the world the Russian all forms of Poland Soviet Union obviously now we have the world champ and. We have a new will center of chess in America but maybe that's actually even more reason why Russians were so eager to make sure that they hold onto the World Chess body and to have influence over it now why is it important for them it's important for them as a as a great power as any other great power it wants to have a place of employment and sport is obviously a great field for implementing soft power and exercising it and chess is specifically a great field for that right there is it is it like being the president of the do you have the power as president of the World Chess Federation to decide where the next big tournament is going to be well obviously you have you're not the only person who's making that decision but you are the one who who has most influence in that decision the key thing which acquits which. Chess here is in dire need of structure of organization and it's in dire need of funding and that is what's helped broker which a lot because he is famous for his experience as an economist. As you know strong heavyweight Russian politician with experience in the Kremlin he has managerial experience and he showed that he has shown that in the Kremlin but I also know that I was in the World Cup recently because he was the head of the organizing committee and also he has promised money and he has he has a strong back who is willing to put that money for what that is Gazprom but also fans to his connections in sports and elsewhere for example one of his. There who was present was. The head of Fifa Jonathan. John infantile So my guess but I mean does that very close most of the Russian establishment and the Kremlin and Gazprom not carry with it a lot of risk doesn't it doesn't risk giving. The Kremlin for example some kind of political influence and chess Well of course that is the major concern everyone has . Russia will try to use this because chess is good because everyone plays it from 7 to 77. Thanks to if you can bypass a lot of gorse you don't lock took place just. Che Guevara's to play chess in famous people in ordinary people play chess so it's obviously is a failed for for opening easy access to to people of influence and authority and Russians will use that for example look at the previous president Kitson in Reno was himself a politician a very controversial figure claim to be. Abducted by aliens so on he was you know his son even doesn't deny that and one of the recent interviews that he was there to deliver a message when that was needed he was in Iraq just a few days before the invasion started he was playing chess with Gadhafi in the height of major bombardments of the country he was in Syria and in the middle of the middle of the Syrian civil war playing with our socks. And that was ultimately what brought him down because he got on the sanctions by the U.S. Which which led to say there's accounts being blocked and basically he can from the world organization he was he was replaced. So what you're saying here is that chess actually a brilliant 2 of diplomacy and here is again from having that running things well it isn't it has been. Some of your older viewers may remember there was a famous match in 1972 played in Iceland you know the neutral island in the middle in the top of the Atlantic between Boris Spassky who was the world champion at the time and the represents about this creates So we had schooled the most famous school in chess and on the other hand self-made famous chess player a controversial figure himself Bobby Fischer the American it was a clash of civilizations that was a match which has so much political context I mean 1st of all even Henry Kissinger got involved in helping all that much all and secondly you know it with was a passage which means what the Russians saw as you know that they had the lawless and intelligent the supreme Russian facing the decadent west and guess what the West wants. You know that was the time when U.S. Began which reports about what's happening in Chad if anything now vocal rich. Becoming the head of see that will help Chaz because it's brought it to the front pages of the papers the top stories in the news but we will need to see woodwork which deliver what he promises now he is himself more of a Western style politician he was educated popular in the West he has a lot of connections in the was in this part of that new wave of Russian politicians trying to trying to help shape and change the image of Russia however you know he he is not a Putin man which we can make a mistake in claiming he is a man of. That that if it's a matter whether it is very close to put in obviously but he has much angered and posting and he is representative of that your generation He was also Russian president now the prime minister. To our coverage is his right hand man goodness last of all I mean this is this is a turbulent year for chess because there was another Russian boss until July it was. Mr Ilyumzhinov Yes Yes He he was replaced. Up until recently he was the of some fun to be able to the Russian choice Russian candidate but then they replace him because Peter just can function anymore especially because of the sanctions the U.S. Which puts Mr Adams in a London blacklist which. Lends to banks saying look we can't hold speeders accounts anymore because if we do we will lose our license it's all for operate in the US and no but the bank wants to lose that. So in a machine of so it was really us sanctions that got rid of it. Yes it was but over. All his system was crumbling like it was it was the presence of Steve since 1995 he did pour a lot of money in chess he did some good things in chess but overall his his his role is full of questions and concerns about corruption and bad moment. Accusations. Generally it was quite clear that chess is found in. The Chess has and is in dire straits but hemp isn't known fry Nigel Short didn't pursue his candidacy for president well I interviewed Dr shorter and spoke to him a couple of times his candidacy has always been something of a wild card he was never considered to be a serious candidate someone who seriously chance. His sole idea to run for the presidency was based on good sumption that initially isn't really in the would run and the idea was that they would make basically set their set the elections up in a way that he would run unopposed and he said I want to oppose him because 4 years Short has been a very very vocal critic raising machine of out of Russia by the way. But in reality his race is his campaign than the track. It was it was very modest he didn't have much and he didn't attract many many votes so the 1st candidates apart from talk which one and Roger Short was your ghost Micropolis not he was seen as someone who was if anyone is likely to win a call from Coke which would have been him not a couple of is basically representative of the whole establishment he was the right hand man of kids and immersion of all these years he's been in the top of the World Chess body for over 30 years so he is sickly campaigned on a subform on reforming busy the system which he himself helped create which is a very difficult position to defend especially if the system is completely wrecked and so appalling the Chess System is and such a stage so Nigel Schultz campaign was based on this option is going to be high the invasion of or it's going to be McChrystal us and he was determined to either that his ground and make a great fight against it because their position the position McCorkle is an engine of is impossible to defense realistically all short was hoping that you know if anything he would go down in flames but he might might have stood a chance to win but some brokerage came and it was quite obvious he had the money he has the charisma the character he has the backing of the Russians and I strolled just as the Russian game. Well it's as fascinating and much more complex than I could have imagined that sounds like Mr advocates one in about 38 moves well I don't know how many movies it took and when that's the game is still going on and that. And chess as in life everything is possible and nothing is impossible if the faces showed us something and it showed that that chess has become much more like politics you know everything is literally possible and nothing is impossible Milan didn't see editor of British chess magazine. Well the aid response in the wake of Indonesia's South quake and tsunami has started in fact there's now a unified aid appeal but it's not coming soon enough for some people more than 1300 people are known to have died after the disaster last Friday in which a 7 and a half magnitude earthquake struck just off in the NISA central island of Cilla way see and then set off a tsunami efforts to reach people have largely been focused on the city of pallu where most of the confirmed that have been counted but there are many casualties in the mind since arriving and. Then say works for the International Federation of the Red Cross in Indonesia and those in power Hello Iris. Hello. Well another day in Palo what what's it like today are you are you feeling the more reinforcements are arriving. Yes we expect today a ship with relief items to be arrived so that's a good thing besides that we are still in the field with our search and rescue teams today and I'm heading right now to the tempo an area where we found 14 body. 2 days ago and yesterday we found 5 bodies but apparently. They used to live around 500 to 700 people over there and the city or defiling she is totally gone and comfort in much. I'm going to be. Far away from where you are not. Well it's not that far away actually but because of access to to certain areas it's very difficult road still blocked and. Some some areas you can only reach by motorbike for example. And it's very difficult to to get there. If you haven't got a motorbike can you bring in with you know very much support. You know indeed that's very difficult and we we want to go to certain areas where the ambulances because of the search and rescue work we need to evacuate the bodies of the people we found in the field so. It takes it takes time how hard would you say it is just not a. Story. How does the weather. It's very hard to work over here of course but we try to do our best and we try to help us much people as possible we. Have basic health care. For people in 3 areas City post and. Gaza right now and we also distribute water today and do you have a lot of medics with you. Yes we have 3. Basic health care units. That means that we have a few doctors we have she says but it's still the basic health care we help people with wounds with fractious but also we help. Medicine children for example who suffer from diarrhea and there's a lack of baby fruit nutritious baby food so that's that's a concern as well. People able to to purify water are they able to find water if if you give them purification tablets that they can actually drink. We been looking for what to sources over here and we found one Tolu but the water quality was not good enough so we're bringing in. What. Persecution plants and. The coming days with the building that planned and hopefully we will manage to to bring more what. To people but end today and there will be 7 what attracts will arrive. And include more to morrow and what was their water source before the ass quake was it well water or was it coming down from the Hill. Well I'm not aware of that but we found it well near Pluto. So not the Red Cross is firmly on the ground. Most people coming to you for help or are they trying to be self-sufficient do you see people just trying to get by. Yes people are trying to get by but obviously when we're in the few people ask for help because they needed to they don't have enough food to stay don't have enough water and they need medical help for example yesterday where well we were driving. People stopped the car and also if we could help with. They had if we if we could get them 1st a so that's basically what we're doing right now. What do you expect to come in on the big ship that's coming today. WILL STEFFEN what you're trucks for example. Hygiene kits. And all fine sorts of relief items to to make people feel feel better over here. And is i OS about the weather before is any rain expected or is it fairly dry just not if Yesterday we had some rain but not that much and today I think it is fairly dry. And that helps you in your work doesn't it because when I would be even worse if you can imagine that we're decaying into the rubble and if into that much and if the water comes then work will be very difficult. I'm very impressed that you were able to get a signal our communications being handled by the government or assist the remains of the telephone system that was in Palu Before Well communication is getting better day by day and hopefully. Electricity will be better we did in a few days as well so you hopefully people can reach each other. That's coming days well thank you very much for talking to us and all the best to you on your colleagues in the Red Cross OK thank you thank you bye bye bye .

Pretty life being an astronomer these days are always seem to be new things being discovered and as well as exoplanets says they've now discovered the 1st XO mood and I've been hearing about it from Charles Hayes astronomer and exoplanet trail researcher at the jaw drop bike Center for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester So Josh what is an egg so moot anyway the next Sunday just to stall stop and basics is it's a mood that goes around a planet that isn't you know also a system so you accept light it has accidents. Does it there are there are lots of ways of well there's a few ways of finding them but the one that has been used recently is the nice this is this is sort of what we're talking about it now is looking at. Using transit method so if you're looking to looking for a planet such as with the tech Kepler telescope you. Can't attack them using something called transit that which is basically the planet in front of the saw and causes the stocks without any damn if you oust you know may. Until planet it's a fuel planet has the name and it's just going to stop it goes round in a really really regular incivil light which we can tell you not down See seconds. Once you have a 1000000 you know the long it's just having you know to just go to a planet whizzing around with no other external forces you have and outside interactions the minute the planet old reach orbit each other which causes the planet itself to start to wobble on its on its orbit and that this needs to changes in its expected time to transit so we've just had a while say Kepler 165 day which is a planet that was looked at by Kepler and the paper came out how truly they Smalling now or yesterday evening I don't trouble about what time it is. They. Just come out of the study looking at. What was a potential candidate X. And then orbiting this Kepler 165 day and the scientists behind Alex teach indited getting from Columbia University so one of the transit 77 minutes early that's really big like Dot that's a proper what we call a transit time and variation of that that is a signal. That I don't wobble caused by something else yet Yeah it has to be say in these sort of situations you either have a made in a boy you have another planet in the system they've not seen there's no other evidence upon it's that we've seen but we've also seen the MIT possibly the minute self go in front of the star so instead of just a single dimming So your planet has in front of the star it dims and then writes again. The what we've what's been seen as the pilot has gone in front of the stall it stand and then the stall has dimmed again so that implies that there is another body another something else that's just gone down in from blocked it out and this is thought to be the main I.C. And then do they run down a checklist and say well if it fulfills all these conditions we're prepared to say it could be a mood Oh absolutely So I mean the the main the main sort of problem that people have at the moment with saying yes this is 100 percent a 1000000 is there's a couple of things that we need to we need to see it again. Science if you wish to always repeat things right but also this is really unusual the signals that have been saved and the calculations that. Teaching to think of them doing showing that . They see is No I mean as we would usually think about it. It's made of rock. Pretty much well as are every other movie that we know of so there's about $200.00 missions that we're aware of and also a system. But this may rather than being sort of Pluto sized big that a rock they say does fall to be about matching size is 4 times the size of a radius and weighs about maybe even 16 times as much as a so you the question at the moment is not just does this exist but will say is actually a movement or ready have we discovered something different it could you describe this instead of us. The planets and a 1000000 say. The cat the planet Kepler 165 day is Chip disadvantage so this is Chip sized planet annexing sized name for ready all they perhaps what we could think of was a binary planet system which is something again that we've not come across so either way this is incredibly exciting potential discovery well well done scientists so quite a week for finding things the way I then we had a lot of the Goblin last night which people are now fairly convinced a is a real planet somewhere Well yes i'm so the Goblin just as a sort of have a recap for those the well is thinking I ready haven't heard of it it was the government is a newly discovered. Planet in the ounce reached solar system so it's then the name comes from its official designation which is 2015 T.J. $307.00 and the 5 it was discovered on Halloween so they the scientists behind it sold it T.J. And how it went T.J. The goblet. Which yeah we we try to keep ourselves it's a and. They say the government is. It's. A tool for that and it's one of a number of tool planets that we've found. Out a lot in the in the far reaches of our own solar system. Now what's interesting about these is not just there are lots of big bits of Iraq flying around. But it's where they all say we have to own uniform surveys of the sky so we've looked in pretty much all directions we're not saving any particular area and what has been found is that rather than being seen in all directions there is a particular favorite direction in which we're seeing these. These distant bodies like I found a sweet spot for all these bodies in the sky Yeah kind kind of so if you think of. If you think if you met all of the old it all everything in our solar system. And you tried to draw it like a spiral. I want one of those one of those old toys that they kind of thought that if it gives you a very uniform distribution but actually what we're seeing is instead of that sort of lots of interlocking circles with no particular direction we're seeing all of them kind of narrowed and sort of beams towards one side and what that's meaning and what people are starting to think is that this is actually evidence for ready a 9th planets which has been covered a cold planet Noni which is opening a long long way away from all sun that is still within also a system so it could be. Yeah it could be is sort of big is 4 times the mass of the US and says We're talking a big planet but it's so far out this incredibly difficult for us to see directly so having said to juice its existence for all its effects on everything else so we think the planet not is perhaps shepherding all of these. Planets and these other. Distant objects in say one particular direction while it's going in the other direction let's hear what we can see with no doubt. And one of those would be the ring nebula. The ring nebula it's got to be what like a cloud has that appearance Yeah that is correct so if you if you'll look at the ring that you left through a small telescope you'll actually see like a sort of greatest lake or if you if you. You won't get the the sort of Hubble Space Telescope quality images unfortunately but it's noticeably green. So the ring that Beulah you can find it in the constellation of Lyra it's between between gamma Lyra and it's a planetary nebula which despite its names its name has nothing to do with one it's all it's sort of historical name the kind about basically because they are not going to look like this when you see them through a telescope and so original 8 people thought that might be that must be a planet. Actually they are dying well the dead Stahl's that remnants of styles like the sun which oh it's massive enough to. Turn into a supernova and cycle options with black hole or are neutral stock stalls like Hot Sun Times just sort of expound and then eject to shallow dust and gas and that dust and gas shout is what you're actually saying when you're looking at a planetary nebula like the ring not. Well and then and then you're in a spa think about you're in a says it could be as big as this Planet 9 thing but it is possible to actually see it yet is so this is the 2nd for this planet that we finally from the sun. And time definitely say not just so you can see with the night I speak on say with don't you know as or a small telescope. If you're using a small telescope you'll actually say if you know provided your light is good you'll be able to see it as a small took was disk. So it's going to spend most of the month actually sit most folks. To be found in the constellation of Aries close to the borders of where Aries boat is on that 60 Pisces and actually will get quite high so. Get to an elevation of about 47 degrees when it's completely choose out so it should be provided to light you away from a tree line he should actually be able to say quite easily if you're in the dock space. Just days of the surreal Let's join Bianca McGrady now who's been casting her eye over some interesting stuff from the last week of science literature Hello Bianca Hello Rod and we are all intrigued by this a Japanese Lander sexually modest to get on to an asteroid and asteroid Yes an asteroid and yes no astronauts on this one for you know it but maybe that will happen sometime in the future yes so this is this is actually this particular story is the 3rd successful landing of a rover on the surface of this particular asteroid which is the real good asteroid it's about 300000000 kilometers from A and so these 3 Rovers have all come from the Japanese led to space probe and so getting one rival little entre on the surface of these asteroid is quite extraordinary it's only 890 meters diameter it's very small this mission was actually launched in December 2014 and it arrived at the asteroids June this year and the prime probe has already put down 2 rovers but this new land which literally just landed yesterday is called mascot and it's very cute it's a little box size Well it is a shoe box essentially and it weighs about 10 kilos and it it's has 4 instruments that will enable it to measure temperature the magnetic field of the asteroid it's going to take lots of pictures which hopefully will stop saying on the news soon and it's also going to analyze the surface layer of the asteroid using infrared light but it is a very you know very complex process because the probe itself the high abuse of space probes had to come descend down to the interview on meters of the surface of this asteroid and then the mascot box initially kind of just slid out was pushed out and then it just dropped very very slowly because the gravitational pull of this asteroids very very small because it's so small and then it landed and it was able to right itself which is great and but what I really like about this lander is the way that it gets around on the Estrellas surface which is that it. Because this this is you I know you like the other ones because the other ones are they're having a bite already exactly they're all hopping about it's very it's very astray and I kind of feel issued given them kangaroo night because the reason that they did this is because on the surface because gravity is so weak previous mission landed on a comet which was the Rosetta comet they found that they had this system that was supposed to substitute to the surface of the comment but it didn't and it kept bouncing off because the gravity was so low so in this mission they're actually using a low gravity to it their advantage so inside this box of this land there's a swinging and it kind of it winds back a few terms a bit like you've won back a kid's you know record a jack in the box and then it releases with a big swing and the force of that swing is enough to make the land a bounce into the air so it bounces across an exposed to visit 3 sites in total but they it's a very short trip so this little Landa only has a lifespan of about 16 hours that's how long its battery lasts but they're hoping that it's going to tell us so much about disaster and so for example is a theory that much of the early water on earth actually came from bombardment from space by water rich asteroids like the reader asteroid and these asteroids also carry lots of common they carry Ogunnaike molecules and so there's a possibility that this asteroid bombardment may have somehow helped to save life on us as well so we have a huge amount of interest in understanding these asteroids better and also has a cost as a near earth asteroids so it is one that could potentially pose a threat in the future so we need to understand what you know you know if we need to you know pull a Bruce Willis and bomb it to knock it off course what's the best way to do that and so we can you know the more we know about these asteroids the better prepared Ria honest because I would really if we knew how dense it was we'd know how much force it would take to move it presumably yes 3 men I guess if you know. Understanding its rotation its magnetic field its density all of these things would help to inform Should we require some kind of a diversionary maneuver which she no really I mean to be honest the U.S. Is incredibly lucky that we have not had a major. Major right bombardment or asteroid hit the U.S. In a long long time we're overdue one so I think there's more and more awareness of how lucky we have been to get to the stage and not get hit by something big and nasty so it is a lot of interest in well if we spot something coming how can we move it out of the way but also asteroid mining is a lot of interest in potentially mining asteroids for mineral resources that we might be running out of on Earth and so these sorts of missions even though that's not its direct purpose it doesn't lay the groundwork and effectively it's almost helping us to understand what it might be like to try mine in such a low gravity you know near 0 oxygen environment I'm still fascinated by the way it gets a ride this propulsion thing with a the arm that winds itself back it's not a mechanical device this is purely powered by the battery as well I think the winding back is powered by the battery so it's a kind of stores I own visage is a little bit like a spring you know that it's wound and round and round and that that process is powered by the battery but then the release in the swing itself is I'm guessing a little bit he said this swing is itself is the thing that's that kind of makes it jump but I imagine you know it's a little you know if you're watching from a farm to see this little tissue box to submit kind of bounce across the surface you know there's there's plenty of potential for the imagination run wild on that one well it's that time of year in the northern hemisphere when if you live near a beach or likely to see a lot of seaweed washed up by some storm or other and the seaweed is good stuff isn't a piano. It's very good stuff it's actually very tasty lots of really fantastic edible say weights but this particular story is about something called Blue carbon and obviously we're hearing a lot about carbon at the moment but blue carbon is actually referring to the carbon that's sequestered or stored in coastal ecosystems so this is opposed to the cob as opposed to the carbon that we find a terrestrial soils and the terrestrial bias FIA So this is in mangroves and it's in sea grass meadows and all of that sort of coastal growth I guess and it's a relatively new idea that where we're just coming to grips with how much blue Cobban actually is and how much carbon gets sequestered in days in these kind of coastal systems and it may even be more than what sequestered in trees and plants and soils on land but much of the work. That has largely focused on mangroves because there flowering plants but this new research is taking a closer look at sea waves and they're actually arguing that say Wades really have been the big name in blue cabin a particularly flowering plant Sunny of all around 200000000 years ago and so before that sea ways were the big name in blue carbon and I mean sea weeds have a lot of this is a lot of interest in them particularly in a changing climate So for example you know as we have increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that's likely to already seeing effects of it increasing the acidity of the ocean which you may have heard is described as ocean acidification and if you're a marine invertebrates like a scollop Ernest and you have a shell that's essentially a calcified is made of a calcified material then yes it is not good if you have done that experiment where you put you know an abalone shell in vinegar and vinegar and it dissolves away the shells so it's a big issue for shellfish but seaweed actually likely to do OK with arson acidification but what they also do much the way that a forest creates you know a. Yes little kind of environment seaweed and particularly huge amounts of seaweed like kelp forests actually shape their environment and provide you know way a shelter for marine inhabitants I kind of create these environments that can be a little bit against the effects of ocean acidification So not only a sea weeds absorbing cabin but they could also create these environments that might you know it offset some of the effects of ocean acidification particularly on that the species that you hear in stranger will who we like to see on our plates on a regular basis so recently we're all very concerned about how those famines in the future but could you have could you actually have seaweed farms Yes and that is that is actually something that's being ready employed and there is a weak farming it's an extensive It's a massive industry in Asia because. Of the diet and and certainly in Australia there's a lot of research looking into farming see read as as a food stuff because they're really good for your let's see which have lots and lots of really important minerals in them and so often you know that tastes really good as well which is benefit when it's a food stuff but yes in terms of restoring think there's a lot of research looking at trying to restore kelp forests because they are breeding grounds they support a lot of fish species so if we can keep those healthy somehow then it does give a lot of our kind of Fisheries a fighting chance. Now as Dr Karl would say we should beget up for a woman scientist to go to the very very top this week yes absolutely the only the 3rd woman ever has won the Nobel Prize in Physics and this is the 1st time in 55 years so Donna Strickland joins Mary go up at my own who actually won back in 1963 and the legendary Mary Mary Curie who everybody will have heard of and so she's won the. Co won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics and she shares the prize with. And author Ashton and so Stricklin and the who were actually working together and they developed the most intense shortest pulses of light ever made so it's kind of like the ultimate in flash photography and that's actually enabled them to to image and study atoms because he kind of need to fix them need to be able to some see what they doing and it's my understanding is it's a little bit light flash photography but taking to the nth degree but also this is even also been used in the laser eye surgery as well this approach and the other half of the physics prize was won by a fashion who's been working what are called optical tweezers and so this is using veins of laser lights to actually pick up and manipulate microscopic objects viruses and cells which are just fine mind blowing that lot could be used to move something but it's a little case it can. Remarkable thing. Let's talk a little bit about hugs Coast's psychologists are very good on the hugs aren't they they say they're very good for you they are funny in my household we do actually we talk about hug magic that there is a magic in hugs which the kids always think is hilarious but it's kind of true except it's not magic so we've won that a good long hug consort a lot of things and make you feel better and it's associated with the release of oxytocin which is a feel good home alone and now science has actually found in an experimental setting well sort of an experimental and observational experimental setting that hugs are good for us so we know that people who generally seem to be healthier and body and in mind they seem to enjoy better relationships but a lot of the studies done on hugs are actually done in the context of romantic relationships and to be honest a lot of the hugging happens outside that is with friends or you know. Depending on what sort of relationship you have with them so in this particular study they interviewed $404.00 men and women as adults every night for $4.00 to $14.00 days and they got to each day they found out if that had any conflicts during the day how many hugs they got and then they assess the kind of positive and negative moods over the course of the day and I found that if people had had a day of conflict that had a bad day at work that getting a hug that day meant that they had less of an increase in negative emotions so they didn't get as upset and they also had less of a decrease in positive emotions so they actually managed to maintain their chill a little bit better and what was most interesting was they found the the effects of getting a hug even lasted for the next day which is extraordinary something as simple as it and kind of weird as embracing someone but these have you know I would say 24 hour physiological effects. And it's free which is amazing you know I mean if you could bottle is and sell it then someone would make a fortune but these are free so I kind of visits that you know that's kind of keep calm and carry on I think keep calm and hug a friend or go for. It could be a fascinating you know. Speaking as an experienced hugger I must admit it's all but sold very very good for the soul so we're. Encouraging everyone that neither science has told us it's OK to. Go for it. Anyway Bianca thank you very much. Thanks for. The news I'm fine.
