2:03 pm
a sense about previously. so, i mean, he was killed in cost of the watch. it was a cost to do, but now out in the open on public transport, this incident has happened on the perpetrators are not being identified. we don't know what happened inside the train. the video footages off the cctv cameras inside the trend and not being produced. and to add to the story, we know that the journalist who was reporting on this incident now as being the rest of exactly the same. i know that the journal of this not were reporting on my so, i mean the steps were arrested and they remained in, in prison until this moment. um, so there is that the public reaction in the social media is a lot more act safe and more visible than in the cities. we don't see the same wave all on dress then potential for mobilized ation or protest. and that's assessing the to do with
2:04 pm
a very heavy handed violent response of the state gave last year to this incidents . but definitely there is a lot of tension. i'm hearing reports from various sources on social media about the are plain clothes security forces surrounding the hospital, not allowing people to gather or even get anywhere near the hospital. and do we know if this is an isolated incidents because, you know, as you've mentioned there, um, there is some video, although not all of it is being released. is that why we are finding out about it because there was some, some records, some documentation? yes. oh, we know is that from the moment that this unconscious body is being dragged out of the train of on the top for in the train station. we don't know who when, how, why has attacked tests. but that definitely has been this. um, you know, but with mrs bots,
2:05 pm
i'm in the confidentiality without wanting to come forward. have a set that she was attacked by pain, couldn't close, you know, religious of form, police forces or whatever. we wish to call them at this point. because since the death of my so i may need that bit resume has chosen a different approach to suppress abuse and use violence against women who choose their own a toilet in public spaces. i'm not is to a point people who are not behind a specific uniforms as a previous be wearing to go out in public spaces and to confront the women who do not comply with compulsory who had jobs. that's been since last year. there been that's been many incidents a capture then citizens come arise, shed on social media should on broadcast media and fox,
2:06 pm
the broadcast media and exxon that shows that you know, various individuals, men or women without wearing and uniform without having any accountability, any transfers the who these people are what's the affiliation with the intention to attack women who are not wearing could drop in public spaces, liberty up using them some, sometimes physically abusing them. so that is why this incident seems to be a continuation of one of those series of events. the top every okay, well we appreciate that perspective sarah, boss, devonte. thank you. thank. so i'm just heading out to the united states where the house of representatives has voted to remove republican speaker, kevin mccarthy. it is the 1st time in history that the speaker has been voted out of the position. and it comes after a showdown between mccarthy and a small group of hard right conservatives from his own party. mccarthy described
2:07 pm
his asking as personal and said that he will not stand for re election just days after narrowly avoiding a government shut down a rebellion and amid the republican ranks as trust congress into chaos. 8 hard line republicans joined with democrats and voting out speaker of the house. kevin mccarthy ending a rocky tenure for the republican lawmaker. the office of speaker of the house of the united states house of representatives is here by declared vacant right winger, matt gates, a controversial fire brand from florida. led charge to i was to mccarthy. he said the former speaker didn't do enough to curve government spending and made too many concessions to democrats. kevin mccarthy is a feature of this was he has risen to power by collecting special interests money, and redistributing that money and exchange for favors. we are breaking the fever
2:08 pm
now and we should elect the speaker who's better during the vote, several of mccarthy supporters warned that a vote against him was irresponsible the house. kevin mccarthy think long and hard before you plunges into chaos because that's where we're headed. if we vacate speakership in an address after his removal, mccarthy said he thought the vote was the product of a flawed political system. in today's world, if you're sitting and congress, you took a gamble to make sure government was still open. and 8 people can throw you out of speaker, us and the democrats who said they wanted to keep government open. i think you've got a real divide. i think you've got a real institutional problem. mccarthy also said he will not seek re election. congress is at a standstill until a successor is elected. another government shutdown deadline is moving next month. let's get

a check of some other stories making headlines around the world. a former russian state tv journalist, who protested against the ukraine war live on air has been sentenced to over 8 years in prison, in up censure, reno office and that cova was found guilty of spreading false information about russia's army. in a separate incident, she fled the country a year ago, while under house arrest. ukraine says that the number of ships passing through a new black sea shipping core door is increasing. nearly 2 dozen green vessels are waiting to enter and to part you for any ports. keith has been scrambling to find safe ways to export grain and other goods. after a key deal with moscow collapse in july. at least 21 people have been killed in a bus crash near the autonomy and city of venice. local media said that the vehicle veered off in overpass and fell into the ground close to a railway track in
2:10 pm
a suburb outside of venice. according to the authorities, the bus was carrying taurus staying at a campsite. the poland has restored checks along its border with silver. it's a curb, a legal migration along the balkan route. the measures will be in effect for 10 days. slovakia has criticized to move saying that in europe wide solution to address legal migration is necessary. the winters of the 2023 nobel chemistry prize have just been announced and sweden, us based scientists monkey by venti. louie bruce and alexi eskimo won the prestigious award for their work on tiny quantum tops. they will be awarded $1000000.00 for their chief mintz. swedish media outlets reported that the names of the winners were leaked several hours before the official announcement. the nobel jury says that they've deeply regret the leaks which are rare to given the great length undertaken to keep the winters names under wraps,
2:11 pm
searching for example. and from where i'm joined from data view science by reported their williams. so 1st of all, what is this, what is their science? what did they win for? well, the academy granted the prize for what it called the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots and said they planted an important seed for nano technology. so what are quantum dots actually, while they're there, sometimes they're called artificial adams, although they're actually much bigger than that. they're usually a couple of dozen, adams and in diameter and can contain hundreds or thousands of them. but they're very, very, very tiny. they're way down in the natural range, which is where physics gets kind of weird. now in practical terms, what they, they've done in terms of revolutionizing that feels that they revolutionize really it's optics. it's mostly about optics now. um optics in terms of l. a. d screens, for example, the quantum dots have made are the colors that are emitted by a few screens much richer and also a higher resolution they've, they've also, you can use them, for example,
2:12 pm
also in the ladies to change the quality of the light. they're on their use sometimes in that turn a harsh life for example, into a warm life, but they're also, they're also used to, or it has the possibility to be used. and for example, future quantum computers in terms of, of, of encryption. they're there. they're also their plans to use them in solar cells to optimize solar cells. there's even plans to use them in terms of, of, of surgery to so in health care, in order to track down the they can be used to track down, for example, disease tissue. so, so they're really very wide spread in terms of the fields that they're used on. and, and 2 of the researchers basically discover the theory behind the quantum dots from each other independently back in, in the eighty's and the 3rd to revolutionize their, their production. so that's why they're receiving this particular products. and it's interesting because um, you know, there's a bit of scandal in the announcement of their names. now we found out earlier than we should have, and this is highly,
2:13 pm
highly unusual. so that's what happened here. i, i've got no idea, but i know that the person who's pressed send on that particular email is probably going to be in a lot of trouble. so what happened? the committee sent out an email, send an email to us. we just newspaper. apparently. that's what and that's not completely clear yet exactly what happened but, but one way or the other it was reported on our reuters fee just a couple of hours ago. so and well in advance something that i, and all the years that i've reported on the nobel prizes has never happened before . and there has been scandal involved in the piece in the literature prize in the past. sometimes there are mistakes that are made, that they've nobel committee has mistakenly called the wrong people in the past who have happened to have the same name as the researcher who was receiving the award that has been mistakes in the past, but nothing quite this serious. okay, and, and the announcement of the researchers themselves, i mean it was that a surprise where they are, they weren't really on my top 3. i was a,
2:14 pm
i was expecting something else. and most of the project and size that i looked at before and the run up to test as you always do when you're reporting on this, you're looking at what people are saying was and what chemist themselves are saying . and um, and they weren't really, they weren't really in the top 3 i'm but i think that that has to do with the fact that there are so many important areas of research that are worthy of nobel prize. and this one because it's really several decades back as sort of slipped off people's radar. okay. eric williams dw science reporter. thank you so much for bringing us up to date. before we go, let's look at these pictures from rio de janeiro that show christ the redeemer based in, in order to raise awareness for breast cancer awareness month. and thousands of women gathered at the foot of the icon accept you breast cancer patients and campaigners a life and g o event aims to bring more awareness to the disease and encourage
2:15 pm
people to take steps for early detection. you're watching dw news from berlin. we'll be back with more headlines in 45 minutes to stay with us. you can talk, film is next. looking at the hidden cost of the orange juice and exploitation, in percentage stay with us the, the shuttle, the kind of energy move people them on the world wide and such a bed. nearby, facile jessica middle castle josh. find out about robina story info. mike runs
