5:04 pm
really. over the last twenty or so very celebrate there but how are people reacting to the message from politicians. well you had a number of politicians have commented today on the. work on scheuer the president the book the stock he gave a speech he said the reunification with the second chunk the gemini but he did also strike in the bush and it was a rather pensive some but she was commenting on the fact that divisions still remain in germany not just between east and west but you will say touched on the fact that there's been a huge arrival of migrants and refugees a lot he was raising. concerns about the rise of the far right and the rise of peter's and not is something that's also echoed in the statement she gave at the
5:05 pm
unity day she said that unity is the low cost divisions still remain that we really must do is to listen to one another and shot up what can you tell us about the march by the far right. is a symbol of. saying that there is a march of the far right that's taking place throughout the city center members hundreds of people that they've gathered from various parts of germany but there is also a counter demonstration taking place as well hundred protesters gathering to say that they they don't stand for what this far right protest is a saying the message is that there is a different side to gemini. thank you. now authorities in indonesia say the number of dead from last week's quake is now more than fourteen hundred survivors of the disaster facing their fifth day with little food and water some aid is now being delivered to the region but the government
5:06 pm
admits the relief effort is slow and blames widespread damage to infrastructure and a lack of fuel. and hot ish reports from. all morning nordin has been running from one government distribution center to another but he keeps being turned away the aid is being taken to other places there's food and water in this truck do you know where they're going. i don't know what we do know is all the aid from this place is going to the main relief center. he shows us a whole list of things he desperately needs for himself and his family twenty four people that signed in stamp but he still ends up with nothing. in it and so at the end i registered and started hearing yesterday but i was told to come back today. when i was here early in the morning they told me i'd come to the wrong place. they should i should have gone to a different distribution center. at
5:07 pm
distribution centers like this one all around the city people are lining up to get supplies but because cordon nation of aid distribution is still an issue many end up empty handed. like noureddine he takes me home to meet his family they've all been living under a tarp since the earthquake especially the children are traumatized. but they don't go back there because even when there's no earthquake off to shock i always feel like the ground is moving around like i'm really afraid sad and then i realize there's no earthquake but because i'm so afraid i'm imagining it didn't always feel like it's moving i'm scared to go inside a house by myself at only go with my parents if they're not with me i won't go in it and i see. they're telling me they're running low on food and drinking water it's the smallest who suffer the most. many of the children are sick and hungry the

youngest is only one month old. my baby isn't in very good health at the moment she has a rash because of the heat we need milk diapers medicine and other things for her. nordin family are not alone in their fear and despair all over apollo thousands are camping out and supplies are scarce at every turn. nowhere is this more obvious than at the city's gas stations. the distribution of the valuable commodity is heavily guarded. prices at this regulated pump are as always but on the black market gas sells for up to five times as much fuel is a lifeline some people here have been waiting for seven hours just to get five liters of gas they need it not only to power their motorbikes and cars but also
5:09 pm
generators that create electricity so they can charge for example their mobile phones to stay in touch and receive updates on the situation from the authorities the lines here are endless at the moment we're at number seven hundred eighty nine and there are many more canisters and serry fears the one writing the numbers on them but at the moment he can't because his pen has run out. yet another hiccup if ever so slight in their attempt to organize the chaos. but with more help promised the people here hope they can soon start to rebuild their ravaged lives. britain's prime minister to resign me has called for unity and her conservative party tories are divided of a maze approach to negotiations with the european union over leaving the block. and after one thing on stage to the song dancing queen may delivered an upbeat
5:10 pm
speech to the annual conservative party conference in birmingham she said that the u.k. was prepared for a no deal bragg's it but insisted she can negotiate a deal with brussels that's good for britain pressure is growing on the conservatives ahead of an e.u. summit in two weeks and that summit the remaining twenty seven countries are expected to insist on a resolution over the issue of the border between north and island and the republic of ireland. a see a bit of what may had to say about the talks to leave the e.u. . we are proposing is very challenging for the e.u. but if we stick together and hold on the earth i know we can get a deal that delivers for britain. no one wants a good deal more than me but the us has never getting the deal at any cost. britain isn't afraid to leave with no deal if we have to.
5:11 pm
the royal swedish academy of sciences in stockholm has announced this year's nobel prize for chemistry the three recipients are francis h. arnold and george p. smith of the u.s. and britain's gregory p. renter the nobel committee said they'd been given the prestigious award for their work in developing proteins of soft human kinds not chemical the problems she's currently the california institute of and the. next is here to tell us more about the nobel committee's decision and also what this prize really means so these researchers work in different fields so why are they sharing this prize all three harness the power of evolution that's how the nobel prize committee described their achievements they actually brought kind of evolution to chemistry but also to evolution itself because they took control of evolution in a way what they did was to create new proteins and proteins are the basis of all life on earth and they used evolution or principles for this which means that they
5:12 pm
first. so they first created mutations which means changing the genes and then they selected the most the fittest ones and this is called directed evolution directed evolution all sounds very fascinating but there's three winners here and i want to start with francis arnold what exactly did she do so she worked with enzymes that's also pratinas which can and which can cause chemical reactions what she did was enzyme engineering and i've actually always said that today in today's life it to create new materials and new chemicals which we need for everyday life we can't stick to traditional chemistry but we need to to use the tool kit of nature and of evolution so that's what she did she took small enzymes she created. random mutation. and. then kind of.
5:13 pm
she did the mutation and then she selected the fittest and there were new enzymes coming out of this and they can catalyze now new materials new chemicals which haven't been there before and they can be used for biofuels for example or for greener plastics i quite like what you said about using nature's toolbox but what about george smith and gregory winter why are they getting the other half of this praise so they lose they used the method the directed evolution and different way they used the method which is called phages just plain phage is. this some kind of weird mix fade just small by responses that have the ability to enter into big tyria and they used this method or this process to create kind of some sort of magnet or some sort of fishing hook of a protein which then pulls anti-bodies and antibodies let's recall those small bodies in our bodies that help us fight diseases and then the next that was to
5:14 pm
create new anti-bodies and they are the basis for a new farmer's pharmaceutical now so greg winter actually already founded a company which works on from a sort of goes on this basis and there are more from it so the codes in the pharma pipeline some of them can already cure in florida in flint tory bows disease and the others could cure in the future cancer or even. well. thank you for making sense of this very complex. subject for us my pleasure. when i leave you with some music from germany's unification celebrations the fun beethoven's overture of leone or enjoy. yeah.
