of sweden and prince daniel, as well as students from here in sweden. welcome to nobel minds and the second of our two programmes. laureates, this is the first time that some of you have been brought together in discussion on television. congratulations to you all. thank you. applause. first, let s look at the chemistry prize with its scientific breakthroughs that have myriad uses that will benefit humankind. let s have a short video looking at what the prize for chemistry was made for. it s very strange. the nano world is really, really bizarre. when matter is reduced to its smallest dimensions, it s made up of quantum dots nanoparticles so tiny that their size determines their properties. alexey ekimov, moungi bawendi and louis brus discovered and developed this artificially created collection of semiconducting nanoparticles. they are just a few millionths of a millimetre wide and glow blue, red or green when exposed to light. quantum dots already have commercial and scie
on the east coast, 8:00 in los angeles and this is america s late news, fox news at night. breaking tonight the supreme court will not consider former president trump s claim that he s immune from prosecution in the 2020 election interference case for now. that decision a big blow to special counsel who wants to keep mr. trump s march trial on track. the chief correspondent jonathan hunt is live with what more this means what this decision means and how it could impact the 2024 leeks. good evening, jonathan. good evening. today s refusal by the supreme court to take up the presidential immunity question is certainly even if it s temporary a victory for donald trump. and a setback for special counsel jack smith s efforts to speed his case to trial. interestingly, there were no noted dissents from the order so it looks as though the supreme court unanimously said to the special counsel don t come knocking on our door right now. we ll let this process play out like it wo

good to be with you, i m katy tur, as chris jansing just said, we are waiting for police in louisville, kentucky, to update us on the latest mass shooting four dead and nine are wounded at the old national bank sources tell nbc news the shooter is believed to be a current or former employee of the bank it was unclear how the shooter died the question is what does or does not happen now? kentucky is a split state. it has two republican senators, rand paul and mitch mcconnell, who sent tweets offering a version of thoughts and prayers. while its governor is a democrat, a democrat who is now not just professionally affected by gun violence, but personally. here is governor andy beshear in front of the bank this morning. this is awful i have a very close friend that didn t make it today and i have another close friend who didn t either, and one who s at the hospital who i hope is going to make it through joining me now is nbc news justice and intelligence correspondent ken de
