until monday morning? >> thank you my lady. >> we shall resume on monday at 9:30. court is adjourned. as you have just seen, the oscar pistorius trial has been adjourned until next monday morning. you are watching "gmt" on bbc world news with me stephen. we have been again watching developments at the trial of the south african athlete oscar
7:02 am
pistorius. he faced the third day of cross-examination, intention, detailed cross-examination about precisely what happened on the evening which ended with him shooting his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. we've seen the prosecuting lawyer nel's style as it has been three day, slow, deliberate, relentless as he continued to challenge pistorius' version of what happened on that night. it did at times seem to take its toll on oscar pistorius. at one point he said he was suffering from fatigue. to sum it up, we can go to karin to sum up outside the courtroom. over to you. >> reporter: thanks very much. we've been surprised by that adjournment for the day. 9:30 monday will be the continuation of the cross-examination of oscar pistorius. we thought possibly it had wrapped up today, nel having
7:03 am
reached conclusion. he is not done yet. oscar pistorius has had a week of being on the witness stands. this is day three of cross-examination. obviously as you mentioned, the tiredness was taking a toll on him. early early on in the day he talked about making mistakes. this is the exchange that followed. >> the question is are you too tired to proceed? >> no, my lady. >> you can be at a disadvantage when in that box. >> i understand. >> you understand that? >> yes, my lady. >> it is not fair to this court either. >> i understand my lady. >> are you making these mistakes because you're too tired? >> i made a mistake my lady not because i'm tired. i made a mistake because i don't have -- mr. nel put it to me.
7:04 am
he asked i said i switched the alarm before i left the room. >> but can we accept you haven't made this mistake because you're tired? >> i can accept that. >> no, can we accept that? >> yes, my lady. >> reporter: the court adjourned for the day. we heard all about the events of that night, this trial. what was in oscar's mind when he fired four shots that killed steenkamp. having went round and round this issue, what was he thinking? why did he go into the bathroom with his firearm? why did he fire through the toilet door? nel asking again and again, why didn't he do certain things, ask reeva she was there? make sure he was so worried about the intruder he thought.
7:05 am
why didn't he make sure where she was before taking dramatic action. >> on the 14th i was sure of what i heard. i didn't want to converse more than i had to. i said to ree va get down and phone the police. >> we know you never waited for response. >> that's correct. >> you never checked the if she's okay. >> i never did my lady. >> you never said reeva, listen and make contact with her and tell her what to do. that you didn't do? >> i did tell her what to do. >> you whispered but never looked at her and said reeva go down. >> i didn't whisper. i said it in a soft manner. i said get down and phone police. i was sure there was somebody in my house. >> you never waited for a response sm. >> i didn't wait for a response and didn't hear a response my lady. >> that didn't bother you? >> my whole being was fixated on
7:06 am
this person i thought was in the bathroom. i had already grabbed my firearm when i told reeva to get down and call the police. i was already facing away from the bed making my way to the passage. >> reporter: shortly after that exchange from all week for oscar pistorius, day three of cross-examination. the court adjourned. we'll see pistorius take the stand again monday. we have a social media lawyer watching events and also working for the oscar pistorius channel shown 24 hours a day in south africa. >> this is the week we were looking for, the week oscar took the stand. the week started with oscar pistorius going through facts about how he remembered the night unfold. we must remember that there were
7:07 am
discrepancies that started emerging between what he put before the court this week, bail application. then the moment we were waiting for when nel took over and cross examined pistorius. we must remember this is unusual in south africa for courts to adjourn early on friday. oscar pistorius is still under on the ground. he cannot consult with his team over the weekend. there's no coaching, no preparation, no practicing that can go on. >> he can have friendly conversations with them but can't speak about the case to his legal team at all to the duration of his cross-examination even after court adjourned each day. that includes this weekend. >> that's an interesting detail. this trial -- obviously you deal with social media law a lot. does the fact this trial has
7:08 am
taken on a absolutely huge direction on social media. everybody is like a judgment seat all over the world. everybody has their own perspective of this. at one point we had the judge say today, stop laughing. somebody in the gallery was laughing. she said this is not entertainment. how far has this trial gone in the direction? >> i thought it was interesting yesterday the judge saying this is a murder trial, not entertainment. we've seen a lot of content emerge. there's an extraordinary event. this is the most talked about event in history after the death of reeva last year. we've seen a lot of means talking about how aggressive roux was. nobody had an idea how
7:09 am
meticulous how nel was going to be. we've seen the armchair judge. everybody reacting strongly, everybody having an a opinion. there's contrast between this case and the oj simpson trial. the big difference, in the case of oj simpson, there was no social media. now everybody has the instant access to international public platform where they're making opinions. >> and having this televised live a week before the trial began. >> that's largely because of social media. in south africa it's the norm to tweet inside the courtroom. a lot of what judgment did allowing the media in the form it is in the courtroom was to secure that you can have people in court tweeting. you can't have the audience, more reliable source and can't
7:10 am
have the tv, even more as if you're in the courtroom. in south africa, we have principle of open justice. any person anywhere in the country any time can walk into the courtroom and see what's going on. that's not practical given the case of oscar pistorius because there's so much public interest. this has been a ground breaking case to follow. i think the public in general has been receptive to watching the case, using it as an educational tool. i've had incredible feedback, particularly this week about people wanting to become lawyers and go into prosecution. >> reporter: people are inspired by these characters, roux and nel. i wonder if -- before the trial started hearing people in the street saying this is not a proper trial. it's a celebrity trial. he's not going to get the treatment normal south africans
7:11 am
get. do you think that's laying this to rest? >> i think that's the key reason media was allowed in the way they have been. there's a perception in south africa that rich people don't go to jail, get away with crimes. i think people have been following this cross-examination and have felt that south africa that oscar pistorius has not been treated softly in any way. >> why do you think this trial is preventing access to other murder trials in south africa? >> to answer your question about the media. this is not just the pistorius case that will be televised. i imagine all high profile cases from now on will be covered in the same manner. this is a precedent setting case. the other other thing i think it's shown justice.
7:12 am
a lot of people thought it was a kangaroo court. he fought cross-examination tooth and nail because he didn't feel he would get a fair trial. i think they've come out well in this process. >> is this media harder on the family. this televising them being shown live on camera, doesn't that make it a heck of a lot harder? >> i think it probably does make it harder. it was interesting to hear june steenkamp's comments after reeva's head was shown in court. she says it's necessary for the world to see what happened to her daughter. that was important to tell the story properly. i think that's one element. i think it's a bit unfair we don't see oscar pistorius himself testifying but see the grief stricken families in this raw emotional moment. i think that maybe that's something secured in future media judgments that it's the
7:13 am
protagonist filmed to the extent we're seeing the family and their responses but not pistorius himself giving testimony. >> thanks very much, a media lawyer here in south africa. >> reporter: that is it for a week of oscar pistorius on the stand. we'll start all over again monday morning with him. stephen? >> thank you very much keeping us up to to speed. the trial of oscar pistorius will continue monday. now in other news. residents and tourists are evacuated pr as a cyclone heads to land. several areas including port douglas. now 80 kilometers off the coast of queensland, this is the most powerful expected in three years. it's expected to bring high winds and flash flooding.

america's debt market which lists the leading tech stock stumbled. over 3%, biggest one day decline since june 2011. everyone though the market is expected to stabilize, this friday, investors are getting jittery. why? well because many are concerned that these delegate companies are quite simply put, overvalued. fears of growing that the dot come bubble could continue. when you compare ratio of how much a company makes per sure against price of share, there's a strong argument current prices are overflated. currently facebook price to share ratio, 94 times higher. if we look at netflix share price, it's 160 times higher than earnings. and for amazon, ratio is
7:39 am
staggering. there it s. staggering 574 times higher. let's get more on this. the market at etx capital joining us, great to have you with us as always. i talked about ratios. they're important. break it down further. these values determine if they're overvalued or not? >> that's right. it's a measure over a period of type. companies like amazon and facebook, we're seeing these evaluations are extremely overstretched versus earnings they're putting in. twitter isn't returning the profit having evaluation around 47 times higher. in many ways it's aids measu me earnings over time. that's why these are high. people bought into the growth story. >> is it markets that hope to drive these higher? as investors buy n it grows?
7:40 am
>> absolutely. the higher the share price, the high ter evaluation of the company. it's the case the market has brought up prices last few years. easy access to capital a thanks to federal reserve keeping interest rates at low records. that's withdrawn now. as that's happening, people are scanning back. i think this is a healthy correction. >> what happens next? do we see a adjustment basically of these ratios, of the company values? or could we see just what we saw in the late 90s, early 2000 when the famous tech bubble burst? >> i don't think we're in for a tech bubble again. it's a far more mature sector. in 2000 it was in infancy and primitive. we've gone past that particular phase. what's going to happen now, share prices with stabilize. evaluations will go back down.
7:41 am
people will have a more realistic view on tech companies. ipo might end up slowing down. people take less advantage of this environment we've had. i think a bit more diligence and prudence around the tech sector going forward. >> briefly, i'm curious why so many jump in the tech sector. is it the cheap money feds pumped in and low interest rates? >> absolutely. it's the oxygen the fed supplied. now the feds take it away on a monthly basis. that's causing fluctuations in share prices. we have earning seasons coming up. face book, amazon, all lining up numbers. it will be a quick sign of trouble in the market. we'll see tech stocks sell off quickly. >> we'll watch that closely u. thanks as always. >> appreciate it.

7:49 am
healthy tissue begins. surgeon cut out tissue surrounding the tumor to make sure all is removed. >> additional surgery is sometimes needed. a new goggle technology allowing surgeons to establish between cancer cells and healthy cells, will help them remove all cancer cells. >> this is developed by a doctor that works on new methods to detect diseases. >> they're injected with the dye that attaches to cancer cells. human eyes cannot see that. we need something to let them shine. as soon as the goggles come on, then we can see the infrared light. >> cancer cells are detected by

sometimes. >> it's at early stages, but doctors feel it's promising. doctors hope it will be another tool in the fight against cancer. bbc news st. louis. >> now we're going to stay with the theme of how technology is assisting the fight against cancer because a group of researchers in china and united states have come up with a potentially vital tool to help in the battle against this terrible disease. they've successfully created a 3d model of a tumor using a 3d printer. they believe it could boost research in understanding how tumors develop and spread and in the quest for new drugs. let's cross live to beijing and speak to the scientist in this research. professor, thanks for joining us
7:52 am
on "gmt." just explain why the 3d printer can be so useful to you. >> okay. thank you. 3d printer can allow us to take the cell and use them to build according to environment of the patient. and turn that into three dimensional model. >> sorry professor, i want to be clear i understand you. you mean you can use new technology of 3d printers to create a much better model of what the tumor consists of and how it grows and spreads? >> yes. for example, we can start to understand how large environment
7:53 am
of the tumor in the patient body, then turn that to computer model. we can turn that to three dimensional process. we use 3d printing to assemble the cells and material according to this computer model and build three dimensional cancer model. >> forgive me for asking what may sound like a dumb question. when you t create this model with the printer, what material is it made of? >> okay. in our study we use cancer cells and use the material for example material we use is gelatin. we combine materials together with the cancer cells. then it would build them into a three dimensional model.
