i think with the right investment, port talbot is now a free port.ub for all of the steel within europe. i think it is very short—sighted. it is kind of, here is 500 million. i know it sounds a lot but when you think of how much the electric arc burners cost, and you are only putting one in there and cutting the steel capacity of the uk. that is why we believe it is short—sighted. it could have been a major investment, retraining and a transition for all of the employees there and making a hub for steel within the uk. find there and making a hub for steel within the uk.— there and making a hub for steel within the uk. and 'ust for you, for other workers — within the uk. and 'ust for you, for other workers and _ within the uk. and just for you, for other workers and for _ within the uk. and just for you, for other workers and for the - within the uk. and just for you, for other workers and for the town - other workers and for the town itself, what's it mean for port talbot and the workers? how are people feeling at the moment? 0bviously, people feeling

ultimately, we think port talbot should be the main producer of steel within europe. be production there for offshore wave and tidal, it will be a mass producer of steel and we don't believe enough electric, special electric arc furnaces are in there to produce steel in the uk. we will be a mass input of steel. if the government said everything that has uk made, they put money into, whether it is defence or energy, but they have to use steel steel made in they have to use steel steel made in the uk, that will guaranteejobs, notjust buying cheap imports. we have the technology and the skills, why not reinvest in the people and the process that goes along with it. we will get some reaction to that later in the programme but peter hughes, thank you. scientists in the uk and belgium say they've worked out how brain cells, or neurons, die from alzheimer's disease. they say the neurons produce a special molecule which leads to them being purged. the researchers say during lab experiments they have been able to block this molecule and prevent the cells from dying. it is an i
