welcome to our viewers in the uk and around the globe. the russian president says the sanctions imposed on his country because of the attack on ukraine are stupid and insane . vladimir putin said they had not only failed to work but were impacting the west instead. he denied that russia was to blame for the current crisis and for the spiralling inflation that has followed. he was speaking at an economic forum in st petersburg. translation: i reiterate - these are fundamental, - truly revolutionary and inexorable changes. it would be a mistake to think that during these tumultuous changes, you can simply sit it out, biding your time, that everything is going to get back to circuits, that everything is going to be as it was it won t! and yet, it seems as if the ruling elite of certain western countries are labouring under precisely these very delusions, choosing to ignore the obvious, persistently clinging to the ghosts of the past. in particular, they think that the domin

Week once things may turn more unsettled next week once again. Joined me later for the details its sunday 22nd october. Our main story israel says its intensify airstrikes against hamas in gaza, as it prepares its troops for a Ground Assault. Hamas is regarded as a Terrorist Organisation by the uk and this latest escalation in tensions in the language follows its attack on israel two weeks ago. Twenty lorries carrying humanitarian aid have been allowed through the Rafah Crossing, on the border with egypt, and a second convoy could enter gaza today, but un agencies say this represents a drop in the ocean of what is needed. Greg mckenzie reports. Yesterday, the Rafah Crossing that connects egypt to the Southern Gaza strip opened for the First Time Since hamas launched its assault on israel to allow 20 trucks to carry aid in. Today, the humanitarian chief of the un for the second convoy of 20 30 trucks could enter the region, delivering much needed aid but admits the un and israel are hav
This week, we are going atomic at the European Organization for nuclear research, cern. We will look at the cutting edge Cancer Treatments that are foxing the physicists. I find it fascinating because it does not talk to my physics brain. So, i am curious to see whether it will bring something or not. How does science become fiction . We will meet an author looking for disaster. We want conflict. We want to see things falling apart. That is where the interesting thing is for a fiction writer. And then there is a scientist with an experiment that could change our understanding of everything. That is a completely unanticipated result new physics and probably a nobel prize for somebody who happens to be involved. Cern is one of the most Famous Centres for science in the world. On the border of switzerland and france, this place has been expanding our horizons for decades. Its High Energy Physics research has helped reveal the secrets of our existence. And i have been allowed in it to meet
Famous centres for science in the world. On the border of switzerland and france, this place has been expanding our horizons for decades. Its High Energy Physics research has helped reveal the secrets of our existence. And i have been allowed in it to meet some of those at the cutting edge. 2500 people work here. 12,000 more pour over the results of the experiments. Here at cern it is a really unique community. It is an International Group of people, so we are from all over the world. Cern is an exciting melting pot of projects and ideas. You see people in restaurantl having tea with their friends and they work on a myriad of different projects. You can knock on the door of a Nobel Prize Winning scientist, ask them a question, and they will say, come in. Lets talk about it and have a coffee. Any young boy or girls dream to work in science, right, is to go to a place which is like a town of science, and that is what cern really is. Its buzzing with the ideas. Its also buzzing with energ
