researchers at imperial college, london are looking at the vr, to enhance the surgeon's ability to visualisescan results to create visualisations of bones and blood vessels and muscles. surgeons with headsets can see these schedules overlaid on the patients in the theatre. the first time i used this device, to be honest, it blew me away. it's an extraordinary new way of seeing the world around you and interacting with the world. we were acutely aware of wearing the headset. it's a heavy device to use for a long period of time, so some of the feedback, maybe it's just selected components of the surgery. not all the time. there might be that one moment where you need that level of precision. at the moment, it is still being trialled in research hospitals. the hope is this sort of visualisation tech will improve precision and overall patient recovery time. there is always a lot of initial excitement about this technology, but what we really need to show is that it saves time, it gives better outcomes for the patient and, ultimately, is something that we cannotjust do in specialist centres, but

with me is professor george yip, from imperial college london business school.ening in to that, are you concerned about what was going on over the weekend? yes, there could be some kind of trade war, i suspect the us will back down in the end, both sides will pull back, but it is right that american companies are concerned about access to the chinese market because there are many ways in which the chinese government can make access difficult, take away, impose additional restrictions. what seems so extraordinary really, it is ironic, perhaps, that china has become this champion of free trade ata time become this champion of free trade at a time when america, which we a lwa ys at a time when america, which we always thought was a champion of free trade, has become, not exactly protectionist but veering that way. it is not as ironic as it seems. if you look historically, the economically most powerful countries favour free trade because they have the goods to sell so britain in the 19th century first favoured and pass laws for free trade and century it was the uni

incoming president of the royal statistical society and head of the school of public health at imperial college londonlines? my heart sank because i thought here is another good study that we need being completely overinterpreted. but you think we need good studies and there were nuggets in that study, not chicken nuggets obviously? we absolutely need studies because it's reasonable to try to explore what about our diet might lead to cancers are heart disease or anything else. we cannot do experiments where we get people to do one rather than the other so we collect data on people, observe what they are doing. it's the best way we've got to get a handle on it. but to then take that and say that causes cancer you should stop eating that causes panic or people say i don't believe any of it. that is the danger. i wonder if you can take that right back to say, you cannot say something causes cancer, but when you look at tobacco, was that moment when you finally were able to break through? that is a good example because it first observed that lung cancer rates were going up and people started to say what w

according to a report published by imperial college london, wind regeneration produced double the outputf coal as several storms swept through the u.k., boosting turbine speed. global news 24 hours a day, powered by 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries around the world. this is bloomberg. francine: the u.s. treasury optioned $179 billion of notes yesterday, sending yields to levels not seen since 2008. the offering saw a decent demand, considering the market is facing a flood of sales. the longer dated notes will come today and tomorrow with an issuance of more than $250 billion in just three days. could we see the 10-year crack 10%? what is next for treasury? joining us next for the hour, a man he knows a thing or two about central bank thinking. he's the former deputy governor at the bank of canada. jean, thank you for joining us. how do you take the treasury -- first of all, we do not have a lot of data from the markets. this hangs on the success of these bills. jean: good morning. i think the backdrop here is we are adjusting slowly to a very significant fiscal st

eventually send people to mars and build a colony there astrophysicist david clements is from london's imperial college and happily he joins me now live in the studio thanks very much for being with us on al-jazeera we're hearing there's a delay what's going on why why is that where they're not quite getting things together yet my understanding is that the key problem at the moment is whether you can build a ninety billion or ninety million dollar rocket but you're still subject to wind especially strong winds they are promised fair which is what the problem is at the moment they would put the rocket at risk as it goes through them and so keep the rocket safe make sure the launch goes well wait until they go why so we're all sat here twiddling our thumbs. now he's a billionaire so i suppose if it goes badly wrong it's not the end of the world but he seems to set the bar quite low saying as long as it doesn't sort of burst into smithereens when it first leaves the pad he'll see it as a success that does sound very loud well the first launch of a new rocket first launch new the launch vehicle is always a

well astrophysics david clements is from london's imperial college and he joins me live in the studio david i notice you were laughing there and sarah was saying about let's just hope it doesn't you know blow up the launch pad and then we have to start again if it's about just how one wheel the technically speaking our attempts like this well but the first time we launch a new launch vehicle it's always a risk my mind goes back to the first launch of the ariane five rocket back in one thousand nine hundred eighty five which famously exploded very shortly after leaving the private. what you're doing with a launch vehicle like this is you have several thousand tons of high explosives. high explosive has to go off in the right order for it to be a successful launch and not a giant firework and needless to say making sure that it all goes off in the right order is not an easy thing when we call this you know a massive rocket why is it important that this is bigger than the rest and just how big is a well the crucial figure for going to heavy is that it can launch about sixty four tons int
