i asked him what this could mean for the future of the gates foundation.oo early to say. as you noted already, bill and melinda have stated that they will remain as part of the gates foundation and i think it's entirely possible that they will continue as they have before. they already had been developing this kind of state philanthropic persona in a very public sense. bill with a focus on global health and climate change, with a kind of technocratic approach. melinda with a focus on gender equity, a kind of more community—centred approach, and so, in a sense, their decoupling had already occurred. so you could make the argument that they will continue as two separate but closely related individuals, and work in cooperation in the foundation. 0n the other hand, i think you can't ignore the fact that the relationship they did have in which melinda very publicly buffered some of bill's rough edges, the rough edges of a technocratic approach, take on a very different meaning in their current relationship than in the past. so we will see. that is really intere

and melinda gates foundation.hat $146 billion, a lot of that is in their family office called cascade investments. this is really known as one of the most institutional, the best run family offices in the world, held up as a model of what to do as a family office. bill and melinda have ideas, they are not super involved in the specific investments themselves. we understand that investment vehicle also has a lot of investment in the likes of land ownership, energy, real estate, hospitality. as of this moment, we have no indication that splitting up is the direction we are going -- they are going. manus: in terms of the question marks, in terms of if that foundation might be split in two. that is what happened with the bezoses'fortune. >> the bezos fortune was heavily into amazon stocks. that is not the concern we have here with microsoft stocks, just 1.3% of the ownership. the question is what happens in the court system. washington is a community property state. most of the wealth they have has been acquired since

bill and melinda gates — the couple who founded the world's largest charitable foundation — have announced after 27 the founder of microsoft, bill gates is the fourth richest man on the planet. in a joint statement posted on twitter, the couple said they would continue to work together at the foundation that bears their name. but that they could no longer grow together as a couple in the next phase of their lives. our correspondent in los angeles, peter bowes has this update. i think this has come as a shock to a lot of people, certainly that one of the world's wealthiest couples, best—known couples in the charity world now and, of course, bill gates with microsoft that he founded in 1975, that they should be going their separate ways, significant i think from the statement you read significant i think from the statement you read a little passage from that they will continue to work together. they have put a lot of effort into their relationship, and decided to go their separate ways as a couple because they do not believe, just paraphrasing, that they have a future together, at least in a

senate is working on a science and technology bill that includes funding for the national science foundation. republican senator paul of kentucky spoke about what he called wasteful spending by the agency. fifty years ago william rose in this body and told us about government waste because the award they were studying things like dating and love and we had these great scientific studies about love. these are the words from the early 1970s. he was a conservative democrat. he says i object to this study on love because no one even the national science foundation can argue that it is a science. not only because i'm sure that even if they spent 84 million or 84 billion they wouldn't get an answer that anyone would believe. i am also against this study because i don't want the answer. i believe 200 million other americans want to leave some things in life a mystery and right on top of the things we don't need to know is why a man falls in love with a woman or vice a versa. stirring words the golden award everyone talked about it. it was in the newspapers. what have we done to curb the wasteful ap
