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
Humanitarian reasons. Around 200 hostages are still being held in gaza, and israels airstrikes and total siege of the territory, cutting off food, water and medicines, will not end until all of them are freed. Desperately needed humanitarian aid has still not reached the besieged people of gaza. Emergency aid trucks stocked with supplies sit on the border with Egypt Waiting to be let across the Rafah Crossing as part of a deal to allow in limited aid. Lets bring you more now on the fate of those two american hostages freed by hamas. Us President Joe Biden spoke with the two women, telling them that their government will fully support them as they recover and heal. Our correspondent Barbara Plett usher brings us more from inside the halls of the State Department. The release of the hostages disrupted the day here at the State Department. We were sitting down for the Daily Briefing and then we were told that it would be delayed for two hours because of Breaking News. Now, they didnt say
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
could be game changing because you could forget everything about damaging surrounding tissues, etc, and it is as if the particles would know this is a healthy cell, this is a cancer cell. do we have any idea why it happens? we don t know the mechanisms. we don t fully understand how flash works. 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. now, we have got recent results, not published yet, that seems to indicate that we do spare the normal tissue and we might do even more damage to the tumour, so it might be even better than people say it is. flash is tremendously exciting, and i think it is a bit watch this space. back at cern, i am visiting a project that is looking for a different way to specifically target cancer. this robot is handling
