still retains to slam into florida in a century. now, both of these storms were respond over the record. hot water is at the gulf of mexico. when signed to say, this was not by chance. they say it was the result of global warming. and they say this means that future storms are 500 times more likely to be bigger, stronger, and weather than anything we've seen in the past. i burned golf in berlin. this is the day the hurricane milton is going to be a deadly in catastrophic storm. we've never had and never have one just know that you get 10 feet of storm surge. uh you can't just conquer down with that. it may be a long recovery process. i'm my, that's my biggest fear. this is going to be

a long, clean up. some of you might still be able to evacuate safely or others. it may be too late. also coming up with the nobel prize for chemistry, shared by a tree of scientists whose research could transform how new drugs are made through artificial intelligence. this prize represents the promise of computational biology . you know that we are really that we're going to use computers that we're gonna understand the disease that we're ultimately going to make people healthy because of the work we do in the work we do with a i and do our viewers watching on p b as in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with yet another hurricane on steroids. and that is how scientists are describing hurricane milton as it bears down on florida. that description is also meant for hurricane helene, which all also hit florida 2 weeks ago before delivering

a catastrophic mix of wind and rain as far inland as the appalachian mountains of tennessee and north carolina farm had time to say that human cause global warming is making monster storms such as helene and milton too, with a half times more likely than they were before the industrial age began. and if the goals of the parents climate agreement are not met, the likelihood of more mega hurricanes will increase even more. milton's high wins and pelting rain were the only trees and power lines along florida, gulf coast, hours before the storm was due to make land for many people trying to get out of harm's way, have discovered that gasoline is already sold out in their area. residents of some regions in its path, i've been warned that it's already too late to evacuate. so what do you have the reward or step on z? monte is in orlando, florida for us to step on that and tell us what's going on where you are. we can

hear that the rain coming down is heavier than it has been. well, i can help you see it to uh, of course, there's no fun to get drenched about. we wanted to show you this monster. storm is still hours away, even from the coast of florida. but yep, here it is. let me, uh tell me if my current managers go through this or do you see this part there? this top i can tell in a few hours, this is not going to be there anymore because if this is going to be a category one in orlando and that's 100100 something miles from where the store will make landfall from the tampa bay area sarasota area and that will rip this off . it's coming down here significantly more because you can see this year we're really getting trench. the wind is picking up. you can see that at the palm. trees are bending now. and where are the brand we are in a not in neighborhood. this is a rental. um, uh, a home, the neighborhood, so to speak, like

a little resort. and it's packed with they've actually who are coming here and trying to flee from the track of milton, which will be a massive, massive, massive storm tearing disaster. really a lot of hurt and pain. flaw for audience. not just now. not just in a few hours. not just tomorrow, but 4 weeks to come. when all this fair through this form carries storm surges of up to 15 feet. yeah, yeah it's, it's incredible and it seems you have to drive hundreds of miles if you want to really get away from this storm. have most people followed the evacuation orders issued by authorities i would say yes, i think the federal fed, federal government as well as the state government, is hopeful that most of the people really obeyed to the mandatory orders. but the of course mandatory, nothing is mandatory. even the class a or section a and b and c activation. those are um, you know,

officials have to go from door to door and say, please leave your risk and your life. everybody. every expert, every government official, state, county, local, or federal level, they all say the same. if you stay where you're not supposed to stay right now where, where you were told to evacuate, you really risk your life. you probably going to, i'm going to end up that now, but most people have evacuated. lot of the back years are here in the atlanta area coming from the tampa bay from the of course, from the west coast of florida. you're facing the gulf of mexico going in lance and yeah, they made it. they were obstacles. gas shortage is full charges, traffic jams, and so on. but a lot of people made it hopefully thankfully. and it's still fun with less than a month to go until election day. hurricane milton this it is being politicized with rumors and miss information swirling it's all over social media. what's being said, as well as to say that's actually absolutely is clickable. this is unbelievable.

what's going on here? how specific individuals i try to capitalize on what's going on. you see hurricanes, natural disasters, any kind of does that, that were not long ago, perhaps in the united states, a reason to unify right. but that is not happening anymore. here there's politicians out there manually, donald trump, who's saying really lying to people saying that the fema is being strapped of cash and not able to actually help them because the hair is by ministration to brighten their hairs. administration is diverting money, which is absolute nonsense. so yes, it is completely politicized. it's unnecessary. it's dangerous because it's in dangerous people. if you, as a politician as a leader or somebody tell somebody a lie about what, how they can ask for what it avenue. so they have to find help and, and rescue. and, and so on for the days to come. that's a responsible,

at least that's what many, many people say and think here. yeah, w is jeff finds the most important from orlando florida on. and the storm that is outside and for many people also inside their mind, stefan, thank you for more on the how and why. behind these monster hurricanes, i'm joined now by show wiggly, he's a meteorologist at climate central in bryan, texas. show us could they have you with us? your job description includes connecting journalist and scientists and helping to understand the science when weather events come with the fingerprints of climate change. now, climate change fingerprints are all over hurricane saline. and milton, tell us how and why that is. right, so we can do what we call rapid attribution science. and specifically, what climate central does is we're looking at the sea surface temperatures. how much warmer they are than what's expected for

a specific time of the year. and then how those are influencing tropical systems. we know that sea surface temperatures, the heat that is in the ocean, is what fuels things like helene, as well as milton. and what we know with milton being the main focus right now is that where it developed and then where we saw that extreme, rapid intensification, the ocean temperatures that were above average in the western side of the gulf of mexico were made for $100.00 to $800.00 times more likely because of human cost climate change, meaning that in that part of the goals in early october, temperatures like what we experienced and what melting or milton set off of rather would have been virtually impossible without some sort of climate change interaction. you're talking about what's been described in storms on steroids, and we know that these types of storms are reality. scientists are saying that they will have an even more frequently if we allow the global average temperature decline to degrees celsius above. pre industrial levels on is what we have

seen the past 2 weeks. is that going to be the new norm? well, i mean, how long are we talking about here? all right, so every storm is different. you've seen 2 storms that have become rapidly significant, as well as have they deep impacts, not only along the coast, but far away from the coast. it's not to say that every hurricane is going to look like this is going to be as impactful as this. but this tells us that the storms in a warmer climates that have become more intense, more frequent, become weather storms. we know that these are the storms that we now have to prepare for, and that are a very significant reality. we've seen it now twice on the western coast of florida, and then we saw the impacts that again further inland. the wind radius being so far away from the center, and then the devastating flooding that occurred across the southeastern u. s. one slowly moved in when just about a week week and a half ago. yeah. us president bite and today he issued

a warning to people not to fall for the flood of this information on social media concerning these hurricane. take a listen to what he said last few weeks or to run a reckless you're responsible. let me, let me promotion of this information. and outright lies are saying people impacted by the strong who received $750.00 in cash and no more. that's simply not true. now the claims are getting even more bizarre. come from marjorie taylor, granite condoms over. george is now saying the federal government is literally controlling whether or controlling the weather spelled ridiculous, beyond ridiculous, but perhaps not. but what, beyond belief for a lot of americans, marjorie taylor, green and others shields. they're all over on facebook and take talk with videos, claiming that the government can see clouds to such an extent that they either influence existing storms or that they create new ones. and they say that the vapor

trails left behind military fighter jets are the proof of this seating. so shell tell me, i mean, is this true at all? right, so there is such a thing as cloud seating, right? like that is a thing that has happened with agriculture. but even if this, let's say that this was a cloud seating event, there's, it wouldn't have grown to this magnitude. we as humans on one particular event, cannot make it a storm of magnitude that we're seeing. and what's interesting is that when we talk about climate change, we're talking about what humans have done with adding carbon pollution into the atmosphere. that oil, the carbon, the natural gas that burns and then goes into the atmospheres and the heat trapping . particle that is cumulated over decades, and that is what we're seeing, sink into the ocean to fuel these storms like milton as well as helene. you can't make a storm or make an impact like we have seen in

a very short amount of time like this. everyone always says when we had hurricane back in the 50s, we had a hurricane back before the 1950s. we were burning carbon them. why are we not experiencing this back then? this is something that is built up in the atmosphere and we're now starting to see the impacts of climate change when terms of drought in terms of heat. and unfortunately, in this specific case, in terms of tropical weather on the southeastern us, you know, not everyone is armed with a lady, scientific data, but everyone can use, you know, what we refer to as good old common sense. what, what do you tell people who own ocean front property in florida or people who are considering buying ocean front property there? when, when they ask, you know, are these storms something that we should consider are right. i think you've seen the proof that they are something that you should consider storm surge and again, another part of the climate change that we know is sea level rise. so the storm

surge that we're seeing, part of that is a little bit higher because we have seen that increase in the ocean level itself. so for those that own homes, businesses are property on the ocean front. those that might still be thinking about buying. it's really know you're flood areas, know how climate change will be changing those flight areas and what is pasta? some places saying, you know, we've never seen a flood before that changes with climate change, whether it be because of sea level rise or because of other things that we know in a warm rabbit sphere, the atmospheric and hold on to more moisture. we're seeing more extreme rainfall because of climate change itself. so you need to know the factors and the flood potential in this specific case before you make those decisions or if you're really trying to mitigate the harmed to your property, we're trying to ready yourself for the next stormed. we need to be factoring the climate change aspect into that for our communities. yeah, that's a good, very good point and also manufactor. and if you can afford flood insurance,

if it's even offered where you'd like to buy hurricane season shelf on, in the atlanta usually runs until november with the gulf of mexico and the atlantic boats very warm. should we be prepared for the possibility of hurricanes as late as thanksgiving, or even at christmas? so we have seen hurricane seasons in the past. where on new year's eve, the national hurricane center was writing advisories for hurricane agreement that was far out in the atlantic. and what we call a fish store where it just basically stays out over open water. what's interesting about milton is that is now become the strongest hurricane that we've seen in the gulf of mexico. this late in the season. typically what we find is we didn't talk tobar and then into november and december we start seeing the weather shift and more active weather come across the united states, coming out of the alaska area, you know, and just your typical cold friends moving. so a lot of times that will take any tropical systems out to sea, but i think we need to monitor for those last months of hurricane season could be

the east coast, not to say that there will be a hurricane or a tropical system there. but it's not out of the question as we get later into the season, especially where the ocean temperatures are very good point meteorologist and shell wrinkling shell. we appreciate your time and we appreciate the information putting everything in valuable context for us. thank you. absolutely. thank you. well, it's used by almost everyone so much in fact that it has become a verb. do you google? i bet you do us authorities say they may ask a judge to break up. google forcing the search engine giant to sell off parts of its business is just one option being considered by the justice department. government lawyers could also seek to restrict how google uses artificial intelligence or block it from paying companies like apple billions of dollars to ensure that google is the default search engine on the i, phones and other devices. a federal judge,

rude back in august that google is an illegal monopoly in the united states a well, jennifer huddleston is a technology policy research fellow at the cato institute in washington, dc. jennifer, it's good to have you with this kelly lot questions for you. let's talk 1st so about what this could mean for google. the core papers reveal that the d of j could target chrome and android for example. what would that look like? so they propose remedies are probably much more broad then you might have expected if you looked at the ruling in this particular case earlier, the case really focused on the default agreements that had occurred between google and companies like apple when it comes to having google, as the default search engine on a browser or on a, a phone,

some of the proposed remedies go so far as to propose a structural solution, something that would actually break out google and it's popular products like the chrome browser. like, uh, the android play store like the android operating system. uh, and put and put more regulations around the ability of the company to interact with these products and ways that would really fundamentally change these products as consumers understand. what would this mean for the consumer? i mean, i know what the d of j claims regarding google's monopoly, but is google's business in any way going against the wishes of consumers. and so i think this actually may point to one of the very intriguing elements of the proposed remedies, which was kind of this idea that google would have some sort of responsibility to educate consumers about other search engines, which seems a bit odd. google is a very popular product because consumers find it to be the superior products their

products out there that are like microsoft being their products out there like that, that go there to try to distinguish themselves in different ways. but when we look at the, at the places where we have c requirements around browser selection or around the search engine selection, such as in europe. what we find is that consumers don't use google because they find that it best serves their needs. when do they choose google or is um google and example of product inertia? i mean, when i get select, let's say a new iphone and of the default search engine is google i, i really don't think about it. and i don't ask for something different because i'm, i'm acquainted. i'm used to google. i mean, is that part of what's going on here is that we're just comfortable with what we already know. well, you can always change the defaults and just a few clicks if you do prefer one of those other search engines. but we are continuing to see a lot of evolution in search, particularly as

a i comes into play. we certainly have seen this with the way that microsoft has been investing and incorporating a i co pilots into various products including being and the fact that google itself continually has to invest in a products and in other ways of improving its search. this isn't the type of behavior you would expect to see from a company that could just rest on his laurels and assume that consumers would stick with it. they're having to continue to meet consumer demands in order to remain that preferred product, deluxe consumers. we know that i'm google is owned by alphabet and alphabet has already said that this is a clear case of overreach. let me ask you, is that what this is? as we saw a broad list of remedies proposed. and i think we really have to think about how these would impact consumers, as well as how many of these are actually tied to what we saw the judge rule in the

case this case was really about those default agreements. and many of these remedies go much broader than that and could have a very significant impact on the way consumers experience their devices, whether they're android devices or whether they're choosing to engage in search at a time when we are seeing a lot of innovation and disruption not only with a i, but with the emergence of other more specialized products as well. that particularly in kind of the, the search industry. i think it's important to know too that this is happening at the same time that there's another case ongoing when it relates to advertising. and this week we've seen small businesses mentioning how they're concerned about how a negative rolling in that advertising case could impact their ability to reach the consumers that they want. so all we often think about anti trust just in terms of what it means for these big companies. the remedies of this case could have a much more significant impact on companies of all sizes,

as well as on the end user, consumers. in jennifer, what kind of time horizon should we be working with? i mean, this isn't going to be solved any time soon as or that's something that's really important to remember when we're talking about anti trust. these are not quick cases, even if we see some of these remedies go into play, it will be a long time coming. the next step is to see a more specific set of remedies proposed by the day in late november of google will have a chance to respond with its remedies uh, in near the end of the year. in late december, the trial and remedies will occur some time in spring of 2025. and then of course there are always likely to be some sort of appeals process or some sort of disputes ongoing. so it will still be quite some time before we know what the actual remedies, if there are not other appeals that,

that may happen along the way could look like in this particular sense. and that's good for you. been out of time. have you found yourself looking at other search engines just because of the attention that this case has, has received? so i find like many users that the definition of search is changing, how i engage and looking for different products may depend on the type of information i'm looking. why many of us i am starting to use some of those generative i tools and then other cases i'm going to more specialized items to find, you know, video, ford information or products and reviews. and then i am so using a variety of search engines as well. okay. jennifer huddles, and as always, we appreciate your time and your valuable insights tonight. jennifer, thank you. thank you. 3 pioneers in protein research and been awarded this year is nobel prize and chemistry. the award goes to an american scientist into british based colleagues,

their work focused on the structure of proteins, the building blocks of life. and it has many potential medical applications. as the 3 researchers who won this year's award were honored for contributions that use neural networks to study a central element of life. the oil swedish academy of sciences has to decide to have today decided to avoid it between to $24.00 and a better pricing chemistry with winehoff to david baker, university of washington usa for computational pro thing design and the other half jointly to damian societies. and don't jumper google deep mind tonight did kingdom for protein structure prediction in us as in all life on earth, proteins play key roles and practically every aspect of cellular function,

activity and structure. even the simplest are made from chains of building blocks called amino acids that are folded into complex 3 dimensional structures. each of the around $20000.00 proteins made in the human body performs highly specific tasks. so if a protein is faulty in some way, that can cause disease and this function, that's why predicting how proteins are structured has been a goal in medicine for decades. half of this year's chemistry prize was granted to demons the sabbath and john jumper for bringing that gold into reach with the a i program alpha followed allow you to take a sequence of amino acids. first of a google search and outcome system trouble. understanding the processes that lead to specific proteins also allows us to design brand new ones for specific tasks, a bottomless tool box for future applications in medicine,

and many other fields. the 1st person to design a unique new protein from the ground up was david baker. he's created many cents the work is very directed at solving problems. and so when we designed a new pub protein, we are always thinking what medical problem or what environmental problem are we trying to solve? baker's dedication to solving those problems has now earned him the other half of the 2024 nobel prize in chemistry as well. the day continues online, you'll find this on social media. you can follow me on social media, brent golf tv. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day, we'll see you then every time the
