Maybe they. Maybe they were cheering, cheering me. It was an achievement that won him the nobel prize. Professor peter higgs at university of edinburgh. On behalf of a modest man, he avoided the fuss by going to a nearby restaurant when the award was announced. The former neighbour congratulated me on the news and i said, oh, what news . And so she told me that her daughter had phoned from london to alert her to the fact that i had got this prize. As a young theoretical physicist, he was fascinated by the behaviour of the Subatomic Particles that lay at the heart of atoms. He went on to develop a theory of how these particles gain substance oi mass. Summed up in this equation, Professor Higgs predicted a field which permeates the entire universe. Five other scientists also came up with similar ideas at around the same time. But in this historic paper from 1964, peter higgs was the only one to have predicted the existence of the particle through which it operated. The only thing i, i think might deserve, you know, might deserve my name is the higgs boson because i draw attention to it, not because it wasnt there before, but because i pointed out that this was a rather special feature of this kind of theory. With the discovery of the higgs boson in 2012. Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider were able to complete the current theory of subatomic physics called the standard model. It also marked a moment where they could begin to search for new particles that would help them develop a more complete theory of how the universe works. Professor Stephen Hawking described Professor Higgs work as an immense achievement. I would like to congratulate peter higgs for winning the nobel prize for predicting the existence of a particle now known as the higgs boson. The discovery of a particle with the correct properties confirms this prediction. This is a triumph for theory. Professor higgs remained modest to the end about an achievement that has given researchers a new insight into how the universe works. Peter higgs, who has died at the age of 94. To the us state of michigan, where the parents of a School Shooter have been sentenced in a landmark case. James and Jennifer Crumbley are the first to be held responsible for a gun attack carried out by their teenage son. Ethan crumbley killed four classmates and injured seven others moon in 2021 at oxford high school. He is serving life in prison without parole. His parents were both found guilty of four counts of Involuntary Manslaughter and face 10 15 years in prison. Defendants Gross Negligence has caused unimaginable suffering to hundreds of others as a result of what happened that day. Each act or inaction created a ripple effect. Therefore, an outer guideline sentence is appropriate and proportional. The court uses the useful tool of the legislative guidelines which embody the principles of proportionality, while also taking into account the nature of the offence and the background of each defendant. I believe that the following sentences would be in the best interest of justice and are reasonable and proportionate to the seriousness of the matter and the circumstances surrounding each defendant. With regard toJennifer Crumbley, it is the sentence of this court, mrs crumbley, that you serve ten to 15 years with the Michigan Department of corrections. The defendant, james crumbley, it is the sentence of this court that you serve ten to 15 years with the Michigan Department of corrections. Lets speak to kim bellware, who has been following this story kim, thank you very much forjoining us. As we said, a landmark case. Whats the reaction be into the sentences . I whats the reaction be into the sentences . Sentences . I think this is the sentence that sentences . I think this is the sentence that the sentences . I think this is the sentence that the families, l sentences . I think this is the sentence that the families, victims, Family Members had wanted, and this is a sentence that for a lot of people in this community, they do feel is the right one given the egregious facts of this case. find egregious facts of this case. And the nun egregious facts of this case. And the gun had egregious facts of this case. And the gun had been given to their teenage son as a christmas present. Yeah. The gun ownership, how the gun was stored, these were the big things that the case hinged on and these are the things that also judge Cheryl Matthews mentioned right before she read her sentence, she said that mr crumley had left the gun accessible to this child, and thatjennifer had glorified the use of this weapon. It was purchased a few days before the shooting by the father, and the mother had taken the shooter into a Practice Range beforehand, not only are these deeply upsetting but highlighting the negligence that the prosecutors were trying to illustrate. How significant. Were trying to illustrate. How significant, kim, were trying to illustrate. How significant, kim, could were trying to illustrate. How significant, kim, could any i significant, kim, could any precedent set by this case could be . This is really at the leading edge of the kind of prosecutions that are relatively new. There was a case in lake county illinois outside of chicago where the father of the Highland Park shooter was given a misdemeanor, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge, but this was the most serious. This is definitely one that it is unprecedented and it is creating a framework, other prosecutors around the country have said, its creating a framework for how they can potentially hold parents or guardians accountable when their children pick up weapons and hurt somebody. find when their children pick up weapons and hurt somebody. When their children pick up weapons and hurt somebody. And briefly, kim, for those in and hurt somebody. And briefly, kim, for those in the and hurt somebody. And briefly, kim, for those in the us and hurt somebody. And briefly, kim, for those in the us who and hurt somebody. And briefly, kim, for those in the us who want and hurt somebody. And briefly, kim, for those in the us who want to and hurt somebody. And briefly, kim, for those in the us who want to see. For those in the us who want to see it much tighter controls on guns, do they think that this case, these sentences, could make a difference . Thats still a little bit unclear. When the shooting happened, the state of michigan actually didnt have a safe storage gun law, so there was no legal requirement that there was no legal requirement that the parents lock up their guns. There is still an overall legal duty to store them responsibility, there is a law now and it is in part because of the shooting and one at Michigan State university, but its definitely giving prosecutors and lawmakers a reason to give a second look at existing gun laws and saying maybe we can do something a little more to up the expectations of the parents who have guns when they also have children in the home.

Still to come on The World Today helping to end the stigma over the stoma bag. And how many languages can you speak . 0ne . Deux . Drei . Artificial intelligence can change all that. The simple app that can have you talking like a local. Around the world and across the uk. This is The World Today on bbc news. An overcrowded fairy off the coast of mozambique. This is the fishing boat that was used as a makeshift ferry. There were around 130 people on board, including many children. And officials sayjust 12 people survived. One of the crew members has been speaking to local media there about what went wrong. Take a listen. Translation when i saw the boat was at risk, i asked the crew chief to increase the speed in order to avoid the worst. We dragged it to shore, but it was too late. The water filled up in the boat. The victims families say they were fleeing the mainland over concerns about cholera when they piled into the boat. Translation they were running away from the cholera outbreak. They got into the boat. The sea was rough. The boat capsized and it killed a lot of people. Officials say there was no outbreak and have blamed disinformation for the panic. But these Conspiracy Theories come as mozambique and other Southern African nations are battling a genuine cholera outbreak. According to government data, since october last year, mozambique has had 15,000 cases and 32 deaths. And the worst affected region is nampula, where the boat capsized after leaving lunga. Its also not the first time that false claims about cholera have caused issues in mozambique. This is an article bbc verify published last year about violence and deaths according to Health Officials that had been caused by false claims about a cholera outbreak. Bbc verify looked into these and found that they were being spread by Word Of Mouth and via social media. The Irish Parliament has voted in simon harris, as the countrys youngest ever prime minister, or taoiseach. He replaces leo varadkar, who stood down last month. Mr harris, the leader of the fine gael party, is just 37, and first entered parliament in 2011. Hes says he promising to govern in a spirit of unity, collaboration and mutual respect. Popular former made in chelsea star Louise Thompson has revealed she has a stoma bag, saying it saved her life after years of battling with ulcerative colitis. In an instagram post, she said isnt it bizarre that this little grey pouch is the price i pay for good health i say good riddance to that nasty menacing colon please be kind. She told her followers the announcement was not glamourous, but that she didnt want to keep it hidden forever. She is among 200,000 people in the uk living with a stoma bag according to colostomy uk a charity which helps anyone impacted by any kind of stoma or stoma surgery. Joining me now is Giovanni Cinque from that charity colostomy uk, and comedian matt forde, who was fitted with a stoma bag following cancer surgery. Giovanni and matt, thank you both very much forjoining me today on The World Today. And giovanni, first of all, what kind of impact do you think louise, making this very public announcement, will have . I think its going to make a hugely positive impact, not only louise but recently people like matt, adele roberts, and tracy m and as well, even though perceptions have changed slightly over the last few years and its a lot more positive coverage in the media, theres a lot of prejudice of ground stone was, and the benefit of people like louise speaking out is it gives us a platform on shows like this to talk about stoma.
