When tony was in his early teens, the family moved to connecticut in the family moved to connecticut in the united states, where his father became a Music Teacher with tony as his accomplice. Singing. I wish i was a tenner, just to do this. Singing. I wasnt crazy about it at the time. Because when i was a teenager especially, the sound of people singing tony and hearing vocal exercises, that kind of haunted me to this day. I learned with my father how to talk with singers which is a great advantage for me today. I mean, you have seen me rehearse and i talk to the singer not only about singing in time and in tune, but i tell them about the acting to and how to time that with the words and how that is something that i have nurtured. Even unbeknownst to myself over many years, because that is what i think a conductor of opera has to be. At 22, tony got a job at the new york city opera, but it came at a personal cost.

That means, six days a week i was not available to my father. On the seventh day, the day of rest, i would play for his students all day, but that didnt work all the more.

Coming up, we see how Antonia Panna thinks brecon broaden its appeal to attract a bigger, younger and more diverse operas. Thanks forjoining me. I think many of us would agree thatjuly has been very unsettled and very wet in many parts of the country. If we have a look at the Computer Models for the next ten days, they are and indicating further unsettled weather with a strong jet stream sweeping across the atlantic and pointing right at us. And further lower pressures are expected to swing our way. Here is the more recent Satellite Picture with low pressure just to the north west of the british isles. Another one here, and there are further Weather Systems developing just off the coast of canada. Here is thatjet stream over the next few days. It is sweeping right across the atlantic and broadly speaking, this is a schematic year, it is to separate that colder air from the northern climes from the warmer air across the south. It is this temperature gradient, the difference, that drives this jet stream. And of course the Jet Stream Sweeps in Weather Systems, develops these lower pressures and this is in the rainfall Pattern Orjust across the uk but indeed europe. You can see how dry and sunny the weather is across the south areas here in central and northern parts of europe we have the rain. Some of that rainfall he will be some thunderstorms. Across our neck of the woods, it will be from Weather System sweeping however. We have had plenty of those. Look at the rainfall, Untilabout Plenty of those. Look at the rainfall, until about the 27th of july. Rainfall, until about the 27th of july, in Northern Ireland we have had 184 of the average. In england, about 163 of the average. From one region to another, that varies greatly. In the north west of the country, it has he been even wetter than that. Lets have a look at the forecast for the weekend. Sunny spells and scattered showers. Here is that area of low pressure sweeping across the uk. That also means fairly blustery conditions. This is the picture around lunchtime. Lets start with the morning. Not particularly cold, temperatures will be around 12 to 15 celsius. Already in the morning, many of us will be working up to a scattering of showers. But also plenty of sunshine around as well. Here is the lower centre. Risk wins on the southern flank of this low pressure quite gusty of these western coasts. I think the heaviest of the showers will form across Northern Ireland and parts of scotland and northern england. If you live in the south end of the south east, i think that is where the best of the weather will be. But for the cricket, it does look as though there is a chance of showers pretty much every day. Of course it is scheduled until monday. Lets have a look at the forecast now for saturday. Here is thatjet stream once again in another area of low pressure waiting in the winds. This time, i think extensive cloud will be sweeping into western and south Western Parts of the country early on sunday morning. Rain and drizzle, murky around the coasts but not everywhere. It is not looking bad for the border today. Two and a half thousand people work here, 12,000 more pore over the results of the experiments.

It is also buzzing with energy of a different kind. With giant laboratories that feel almost ramshackle, they are not really low. One thing i love about cerner is a day seem to have most of the worlds supply of tinfoil here. Most famously, cern is home to the large hadron collider. The biggest machine to analyse the worlds smallest particles. It smashes them together at almost the speed of light. The last time i was here, it made me cry. Cern lets us do science that no individual country cry. Cern lets us do science that no individual country could cry. Cern lets us do science that no individual country could do cry. Cern lets us do science that no individual country could do by i individual country could do by itself. So we can build fantastic machines like the large hadron collider. A big complex International Projects where the world comes together to do it. The thing about world comes together to do it. The thing about this place though is that of the stuff that goes on here is highly theoretical and experimental. It kinda feels really abstract, not really relevant to everyday lives. But plenty of stuff that has been developed here has filtered down to the real world. The high energy beams that are whizzing around cern are created by particle accelerators. Big ones. And there are many many smaller ones around the world and some of those are in hospitals. And they are being used to treat something that will effect a great many of us during our lifetimes. Cancer. This is the christie in manchester, europes largest cancer hospital. It is one of two places in the uk where Cancer Patients come to be treated with proton beam therapy. It is a special form of radiotherapy which normally uses radiation, high energy x rays, to try and kill tumours in the body. But at the christie has a particle accelerator. And that means that they can fire beams of protons at they can fire beams of protons at the cancer. They can fire beams of protons at the cancer they can fire beams of protons at the cancer. ~. ,. ,. ,. , the cancer. When radiation goes into a atient, the cancer.

When radiation goes into a patient, obviously, you want to i a patient, obviously, you want to use it to kill the tumour. But it goes through normal healthy tissue and that gives rise to the side effects. Protons are being particles, slow down as they enter the tissue, and they stop within the tumour and dont go any further. End tumour and dont go any further. And that means tumour and dont go any further. And that means that this form of radiotherapy can be used in a really tricky parts of the body. For example. Tricky parts of the body. Fe example, Something Like the brainstem, which we know it is very sensitive to radiation, so it is very much putting the beam precisely Internet Tumour and not going into the sensitive organ. Bill Internet Tumour and not going into the sensitive organ. The sensitive organ. All types of Cancer Treatment the sensitive organ. All types of Cancer Treatment risk the sensitive organ. All types of Cancer Treatment risk harming l Cancer Treatment risk harming healthy tissue near to the tumour. Research is ongoing around the world to try to minimise this collateral damage. There has been at least one recent rather strange finding. It is to do with how quickly and how hard you deliver a dose of radiation. It is called the flash effect. 50 you deliver a dose of radiation. It is called the flash effect. Is called the flash effect. So you deliver the is called the flash effect.

So you deliver the radiation in a very i deliver the radiation in a very intense deliver the radiation in a very intense bursts at the tumour. For example. Intense bursts at the tumour. For example, you condense it into milliseconds. Fora physicist, this shouldnt milliseconds. Fora physicist, this shouldnt make any difference, but when shouldnt make any difference, but when you shouldnt make any difference, but when you deliver radiation like this. When you deliver radiation like this. The when you deliver radiation like this, the tumour gets damaged. The healthy this, the tumour gets damaged. The healthy tissue does not get damaged. It can healthy tissue does not get damaged. It can be healthy tissue does not get damaged. It can be Game Changing because you could forget everything about damaging surrounding tissues, etc, and it damaging surrounding tissues, etc, and it is damaging surrounding tissues, etc, and it is as damaging surrounding tissues, etc, and it is as if damaging surrounding tissues, etc, and it is as if the particles would know and it is as if the particles would know that and it is as if the particles would know that this is a healthy cell and this is know that this is a healthy cell and this is a know that this is a healthy cell and this is a cancerous cell.

Now, we i have recent results, not published yet, that seem to indicate that we do spare the normal tissue and we might do even more damage to the tumour. So it might be even better than people say it is. Flash is a tremendously exciting and i think it is a bit, watch this space. Back tremendously exciting and i think it is a bit, watch this space.

This robot is handling Radioactive Material created by cerns medicine is experiment, which is looking at doing something really cool with it. They can attach it to specially engineered molecules that you can inject into the body, and which will only stick to cancer cells. And when that happens, the Radioactive Material shines like a beacon and it can be picked up on scanners, so suddenly you can see exactly where the cancer is. Then, you can do something that i think sounds even better, you can attach a different type of Radioactive Material to those engineered molecules and when they stick to the cancer cells, the Radioactive Material kills only the cancer cells. And they leave Everything Else around it unharmed. This combination of therapeutics and diagnostics is called ferry gnostics. Its use in the treatment of some prostate cancers was approved in the us in 2022. The Peter MccallumCancer Centre in australia told us that their ongoing Clinical Trials have shown that it can improve the quality of life and extend the life force on the men with aggressive prostate cancer. Hello, it is a fresh day out there with sunny spells and a scattering of showers. No surprise there. The story ofjuly and more of that to come over the next few days. If we look at the Satellite Picture, you can see the low pressure just to the west of scotland, 5 Showers Scares culling around the central of the low. Here is the radarfrom the culling around the central of the low. Here is the radar from the last few hours you can see the pockets of rain moving across the country from west to east. So the temperatures today are peaking at around 22 degrees in london norwich and hull. In the north west, it will be closer to the high teens. Showers will be most frequent at the closer you are to the centre of this low pressure, sir Northern Ireland, scotland at North Western parts of england will have the least frequent showers further east and south east. Temperatures early in the morning on sunday will range from about 7 degrees in rural parts of scotland, but for most towns and cities it will be around 1230 degrees. So again, she was in the morning in the north with some sunshine to start the day, but then the next Weather Front and the next area of low pressure of course sweeps in off of the atlantic. Temperatures on sunday typically in the teens, it doesnt bode well for the ashes, because that Weather Front will be sliding across the uk during the course of the afternoon. So summer rain is certainly possible. You can see where the heaviest of the rain will be a little bit further north. Low pressure, Lab Surprises there, it is still with us on monday. It is a fairly slow moving low and that implies a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain too. The heaviest of which will probably be across more northern parts of the country, further south it will be quite blustery with a lot of cloud and occasional showers. Blustery with a lot of cloud and occasionalshowers. If blustery with a lot of cloud and occasional showers. If you sunny spells too. Those temperatures will be more or less what we have been used to for quite some time now. Low 20s used to for quite some time now. Low 205 i used to for quite some time now. Low 20s i think at best.
