you. mean. this is state of the news live from thailand indonesia is desperation deepens as the death toll following last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami surges to more than twelve hundred people the wait for news of loved ones on the call the moments when disaster struck. when the ground started moving i went outside the ones in the whole street rose up and it was like a wave and we were swept away we'll hear from an aid worker about the difficulties of trying to get supplies to this devastated area also on the program the nobel
prize in physics goes to a woman for the first time in more than fifteen years donna strickland and two other scientists were all up for their groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics. i'm from gail welcome to the program or sources in indonesia say the death toll from last week's earthquake and tsunami is now more than twelve hundred meanwhile survivors a growing anger at the government's response with aid slow to arrive people in the disaster zone are running short of food fuel and other essentials. the days after the devastating earthquake and tsunami survivors are still struggling to get hold of eight fuel is in short supply here people are trying to collect as much pecial as they can officials are trying to assure them that more is on the way. and then.
logistical aid is coming in so the support being offered to refugees is better compared to day one day two and even yesterday. we still need more time to take care of all the problems because supply chains have been disrupted in the disaster zone the money. each ship will have to contend with pirate touches and damaged roads like this the damage infrastructure is also making it harder to recover the day. amid all this rescuers are continuing to search through the rubble in the hope of finding more survivors despite longer and longer. we remain optimistic that they are alive. but scientifically speaking by this time such an event the chance of the body being able to survive such an ordeal.
and that means. they will but there are moments of joy. some people are still being rescued. matthew cochrane speaks for the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies he joins us from geneva welcome to the w. how are you getting given the region's damaged infrastructure. it's incredibly difficult the airport is really not back up to full capacity polish city as your colleague mentioned in your report the road network which was not particular to the best of times and these are not the best of times so the road network is severely limits as we've been counting month slides landslides and this phenomenon is the perfection when vice oil turns into indecision into water and and swallows roads and buildings whole sorry it's been extraordinarily complex the indonesian red cross has deployed. supplies three barges worth of supplies from jakarta and that's
making its way up to southern slow easy as we speak the first on the arrive on friday it's quite a long journey but the challenge then will be to get out that i mean to really where it's needed which is our city and then further north into don't go away still after four days there are many communities that have and haven't been reached yet and what are you provided. a range of support of the moment the focus is on our search and rescue but there's also a lot of work being done to provide emergency medical assistance the red cross has set up a clinic in c. which is just so the south of the city where they were the first to reach a couple of days ago and then encountered some really frightful scenes of collapsed churches and school children trapped and killed they were able to provide basic medical assistance. in the form of treatment for structures and open wounds as well as. you know support for people who die really illnesses and research on the sets
there's a push to get clean water out of place possible i mentioned already the diarrheal in diarrheal illness as we often see this afternoon to see where people can access clean water and food so at the moment it's care medical care it's search and rescue explain water behind that fire will come what we call non related items so mosquito nets top poland's basic household supplies the people will of lost that really given the basics to begin to face the weeks and months of uncertainty. and so when you're providing the sort of services you talk about especially when it comes to health care how do you i don't know how to process it is anywhere else in the world sorry when you talk about local it really doesn't get much more local than the red cross i think some of the images you charge just before were of red cross medics there from the communities they speak the same language is there from the areas that were affected by they know local customs ain't going nowhere you know the danger spots are and how rollers and international community and international red
cross but as a water and special communities to get behind those efforts these are people we know how to respond to emergencies it's a competence born out of experience we're talking about the most disaster prone country in the world but they said to us that this is beyond what they can respond to and i asked for help and so we're doing everything we can to get in behind them and give them all the support expertise and tools that they may well thanks for joining us matthew cochrane from the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies thank you. thank you let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world police in india have used tear gas or water cannon to break up a protest by more than fifty thousand farmers the farmers from the northern state of water pradesh have blocked part of the main highway as i marched from the capital delhi demanding better prices for their projects. u.s. president donald trump has told reporters that this is a scary time for a young man who made the remark to reporters while speaking and while speaking in
support of his embattled supreme court nominee bret cavuto judge cognos accused of a sexual assault with a measure of a occurred when he was a teenager he denies the allegations the president added that women are doing great . i mean well first lady melania trump has touched down in ghana at the start of a four nation trip to africa the first major international visit without the president as he struggles to or will also take in malawi kenya and egypt as she promotes her the best initiative. of germany's coalition government has reached a deal on immigration reform based on the canada model the changes rank would be immigrants according to the education age language skills and financial security and so to focus on attracting skilled workers will help for the record number of job vacancies. the german economy has a problem a lack of skilled workers now the government plans to tackle the short full with
a new immigration law in the hope of attracting most skilled workers from abroad. the proposed changes will target people from outside the e.u. migrants with vocational qualifications will then have six months to try and find work but not without the correct qualification and the demand for their skill set in the labor market but the plan will continue to treat asylum seekers and economic migrants differently. but there could eventually be greater flexibility for refugees who successfully integrate in germany's labor market says german economy minister peter. we have made a very clear distinction between asylum seekers on the one hand where we are ready and prepared to protect people in need for protection and people looking for
integration in the labor market in germany and the basic principle that we are presenting the proposed law german interior minister horse the horse stressed however that germany doesn't want immigration into its well fastest. now after months of conflict in the german government over migration policy it seems chancellor angela merkel's coalition has finally managed to agree on something. this year's nobel prize for physics has been awarded to three scientists from the united states canada and france one of them becomes the first woman to win the prize for more than fifty years been recognized for their research in the field of laser physics which the swedish academy said to turn science fiction into reality. imagine they did it in stanton making objects move with a laser beam without touching them in a t.v. series they call it the tractor beams on you can't believe.
it isn't science fiction anymore at least on a macroscopic level. one of the three winners of the novel prize in physics after ashkan invented a laser light trap known as optical tweezers. it works like a ping pong ball overhead dryer. a lens focuses the laser creating a spot of high light intensity particles are drawn to that point and tell them place the optical tweezers cantrip virus's speck tyria or other very small living objects without damaging them. the first part of the prize with to the optical pieces been extremely important for measuring small forces on individual molecules small objects and this is very very interesting in biology to understand how things like muscle tissue works lasers also fascinated donna strickland along with her mentor. she won the other half of the nobel prize for physics they invented
a new method for creating ultra short high intensity laser beams called sharp pulse amplification the technique produces strong and very precise pulses that don't damage surrounding material that's useful in a wide range of applications. so we can operate with position and that's important both for solitary insensibly so it is also important to make small poss that ought to be inserted in the bore you don't need to have the positional no you also need the truth reducibility making us want you to see so i much prefer not strict and is only the third woman to ever win a nobel prize in physics the first in fifty five years in a phone call during the nobel prize press conference she said more lightly put on so that's part of the property. how great. we're going to get her out there. and how probably. time it'll start part. of her right
i'm honored to be one of those women. the laser technology will burn her name and those of her physicist colleagues into the history book of science they're finding so not only be used in research but also in practice and fields from medicine to industrial machinery. after mr spock what probably happened are order book. as many times i wish him well was to spock's never happy let's get more on this from the dr science journalist i say welcome to much is being made of the fact that donna strickland is the first woman to win a nobel physics prize for a fifty five years why have there been so few. well basically there are two reasons first is history of course the nominations are representation of the gender balance and science of about thirty years ago so thirty years ago there were few few of females in science there were also a lot but not as many as today of course for different reasons second reason would
be because this female scientists were not rican i was told will looked a lot of the times and i still today so it does happen so often bad there's even an even a name for it it's called matilda effect favors examples for it's. franklin you see so gender bias is a real thing and it's not just the feeling there is data for it. yes the one of the stories that was kicking about was out of bounds or son's room. only he was suspended from work with the european nuclear research center after he said that physics was invented in bills by men and that male scientists were being discriminated against you touched on it in your first answer to this issue of gender is it a big issue in the sciences of course it's a big issue but it's a big issue everywhere you see if we picture a scientist that person is probably pale male and kind of old issues see and that's
part of the problem representation matters so we have to see more women out there in order to accept that more females on those roles did you know that only seventy percent of biographies on the industry could be the all about women so even the nobel prize the window stricklin she didn't have an on any tree up until shortly after the announcement so we have to re present them when we have to show them or sort of people can accept them in those roles and yeah we have to do a better job in that will see how the future turns out good talk to you for the other on a second thank you. now i got elf as well have your eye business news out on the way i don't forget so i'll be back at the top of the hour in the meantime of course you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our web site that said he doesn't adopt call himself a good. state
