Start your Monday Morning. A little bit of rain for some, even some Thunderstorms Mist and rain to start your Monday Morning. Good morning, its Monday 2nd september. One or two word 0fsted Inspection Grades for englands schools are being scrapped with immediate effect. Last year an inquest found an 0fsted Inspection had contributed to the suicide of primary headteacher Ruth Perry, leading to widespread calls for change. Headteacher Ruth Perry, leading the government said the overall grades werent fair or accurate, but the change was criticised by the conservatives for removing a vital indicator for parents. Heres our Education Editor Branwen jeffreys. After an inspection, Caversham Primary was but yes, its this. A relief, really, that no other Head Teacher will have to go through what ruth went through. So from today, overall Inspection Grades are scrapped, like good or inadequate. School inspection standards remain the same. And from september 2025, there will be a new Report Card for
It freaks me out. But for me, something incredible might come out of it a chance to meet a sister i didnt even know i had. Her train is pulling in now. Id better go in and wait. We are Donor Conceived, and this is our story. Im about to start a personal journey that i didnt think i would ever go on. And im really nervous. I dont know how this is going to end. I was 17 and i found out i was pregnant. And i lived here at the time. My dad, he just couldnt even look at me. He was so upset. And i actually had a bleed that night, so my dad had to take me into hospital. I didnt know if he wanted to speak to me, so i went in and had the scan on my own and they printed the pictures out for me. And ijust came out and gave them to him and it was like all had been forgotten. Yeah. Then it was fine. If being pregnant at 17 was a shock, then the news my dad was about to tell me was something i never, ever expected. So, i was about six months pregnant. I came down, i was on my phone, just like, 0h, w
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 scientific uses and, in future, could contribute to flexible electronics, thinner solar cells and encrypted quantum communication. So, Moungi Bawendi, erm, i dont know, viewers may be watching this programme on qled tv one of the things that have arisen from the work that youve done so just tell us about how your work collectively can be used to improve lives. So, qleds is one of the biggest moneymaking applications of quantum dots but the field, in the last few decades, has grown enormously and theres a lot of people working on many other potential applications that have yet to see either commercial success or the applications being proven, and that includes fields going f

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
