[applause] >> thank you very much indeed, thank you for the wonderful introduction. i can't tell you how delighted i am to be here and have a chance to talk about one of my great heroes, adam smith. i should say i don't do so as a parliamentarian, or indeed someone involved in politics at all but as someone who is interested in ideas and philosophy and impact fees ideas can have in our lives today. the thing about smith, i will emphasize this and p

try to work out what happened spoke earlier to the deputy director of the space domain at university college london talk to some. the launch stages and says it's really rare for a soyuz to fail like this. when you have a launch you have usually on the launches two or three stages the first stage is abusive then separate to the second and third stage usually puts you in orbit and apparently there was a lack of propulsion from the initial booster or the second boosters not clear to me so not enough energy to be able to orbit the capsule which condemned the astronauts to go back to worst on a ballistic i would say trajectory and this was probably the tricky part it's extremely unusual that this kind of accident or incident happens on a user launcher they are one of the most reliable launchers worldwide so it's extremely rare and i think one of the first times that these publicized that this happens with a manned launcher. well goes the same understands we hugely tense time for friends and family watching the launch although they know the best planning has gone into it those are the baccy had i guess g

the constitution unit at the university college london has produced a report on the process, identifyingessor meg russell, one of the report's authors, if the most likely trigger was mps refusing to vote for whatever deal the government put before them. well, what becomes likely depends first and foremost on the outcome of the negotiations. because there are two routes at the beginning — one way is there is a deal and the other way is there is not a deal. so if there is a deal, then the deal has to be put to parliament, and that gives mps an opportunity to intervene, to either vote down the deal or to maybe make support for the deal conditional on a referendum. then, of course, there is a route where if there is not a deal, there's going to be pretty much a crisis situation, and there may be calls for a referendum at that point as well. but as we have seen this week, with the warning shots fired from the dup, theresa may is going to struggle to get a majority, or get the numbers on anything at all that she wants to put through parliament. so would that rule out any kind of referendum get

i started when i caught up with michael grubb professor of energy and climate change at university college london he's written several reports for the intergovernmental panel on climate change i began by asking him what a carbon free future would look like for this region middle east over usually has a concern that much of the middle east is dependent upon oil. not so much on coal and coal is the first in the line of fire the biggest sin in terms of climate change if you like. but one issue for many in the middle east is what is the future look like if we do have to curtail the oil demand. that's probably going to affect some other regions first because they're actually a bit more expensive than and a bit more carbon intensive but still we're talking about rather than the past century largely fuel an expansion of coal in oil this century being about that contraction in the rise of solar wind other renewable sources so that's the first thing we need to think what's the energy economy of countries in this case the middle east countries traditionally heavy dependence on oil significant on gas that's

sapir aunts who know their children best to trust their instincts and join them on crew from university college london is a co-author of the report and she says doctors need to be cautious. the diagnosis can be applied to all sorts of ordinary behaviors that may be normal for the age bracket that a child falls into. but are identified as being abnormal because they're in a school year in which they're relatively young well i think i think clinicians and teachers just need to be aware of this need to have an outline that the the suppose it criteria for a.d.h. they are very gruelling very nonspecific and may include normal variations in behavior and normal age related immaturity and just be much more cautious about applying the label because as we know you know the label it is a label that a child has for life and is up to sociate she would then getting on drug treatment well this is a problem across mental health diagnoses are all the criteria often nonspecific there are about behaviors that may be normal in one context but not normal in another context and they're all whether or not there is a diagnos

the team at university college hospital in london repaired the babies' spinal cords when their mothersorts. i might not go too much deeper, because we might need membranes in the second. this is remarkable surgery. opening the womb to correct a birth defect. this complex procedure was done in belgium. among a vast team, a british surgeon who has now operated on two pregnant women in london. the mothers and their babies are doing well. thank you very much. spina bifida develops during pregnancy, when the bones of the spine don't form properly. this can cause a bulge from which spinal fluid leaks out. the condition can cause a range of lifelong health issues, such as paralysis, bladder and bowel problems and affect brain development. the delicate surgery happens at around 26 weeks pregnancy. the womb is opened and the baby's nerve tissues are pushed back into the spinal cord, which is then closed. the pregnancy continues for another three months. until now, surgery to correct spina bifida was done after birth, but the team at london's university college hospital say doing it in the womb

their instincts while let's get more on this now we're joined by joanna moncrief reader at university college london and also the author of the report and she's joining us from essex very good to have you with us on al-jazeera i know that these findings will resonate with many parents and teachers you know how to properly assess meet the needs of children in the classroom r a d h d cases on the rise at least partly because it is being misdiagnosed well as they are i think this study shows that he is being misdiagnosed in certain cases or at least that the diagnosis can be applied to all sorts of ordinary behaviors that may be normal or the age bracket the child was in. but are identified as being abnormal because they're in a school year in which they're relatively young and how do you so how do you then improve the diagnostic process given that there isn't. that you can't you know it's not something that you can test for chemically. well i think i think clinicians and teachers just need to be aware of this need to have it never mind that the the suppose that criteria to a.d.h. they are very broad a

russian space agency let's go live now to deputy director of the space to main at the university college of london hello sir thanks for coming on short notice to talk to us when i'm so nasser already of course not relying so heavily on its partnership with russia because it's only really the soyuz craft that can get people and resources up to the describe in the instant as a problem with the booster separation though in simple terms what happens during that phase any boosters any rockets are they just describing in one two scientific way four of us. yes i try to out hello so when you have a launch you have usually the launches two or three stages in the first stage is abuse that then separate to the second and third stage usually puts you in orbit and apparently there was a lack of propulsion from the initial booster or the second booster it's not clear to me so not enough energy to be able to orbit the capsule which condemned the astronauts to go back to worst on a ballistic trajectory and this was probably the tricky part it's extremely unusual that it's going to accident or incident happens on

further with professor richard moorhead, who is chair of law and professional ethics at university college london from cardiff. good morning to you and thank you for your time today. going back to when the courts made the original decision to grant sir philip green an interim injunction, will they have taken into consideration the public interest in the case? they said they took into account the public interest but a narrow account of the narrow interest. i think we need to look more broadly. do you think that what sir peter hain did was premature with revealing the identity of philip green?” was premature with revealing the identity of philip green? i do. it was an early court hearing and the case had some way to run. the better course would have been to wait and ta ke course would have been to wait and take his decision further down the track. he has been persuaded by what many people have been talking about today, an imbalance between these nondisclosure agreements. where are circumstances where individuals are organisations are neither side of an nda, there is a great power imbalance between

let's get more on this from drjennifer rohn a reasearch scientist at university college london. thankcomments? i can't believe we are having this conversation again. it seems as if we get the same sort of comments coming out repeatedly, and there is with a big flurry about it, and a bigger bottle from the scientific community, but these people just keep coming out of the woodwork. some light -- sunlight, they say, is the best disinfectant, is there any merit in what he has to say, even if just is there any merit in what he has to say, even ifjust highlighting that the fact that these views exist and there aren't enough women in science? well, she has certainly done a good job of playing up and highlighting the view is that some people still do have about women in science, these views have been known to be flawed, and have been discredited for years, and he himself had said that he did if you quick checks and find out that no physics is sexist. it is damaging that months and months and years and yea rs that months and months and years and years showing that science is sexist, it is ver

which doesn't form correctly during pregnancy — were carried out by 30 doctors at university college hospital in london before, that seems extraordinary. teams have been trying to do this because 24 hours ago we were talking about spina bifida but what happens is that when the spine is forming in the baby in the womb it does not close up properly and part of the spinal—cord can pop—out. after a babyis spinal—cord can pop—out. after a baby is born you try and repair that in order to approve the chances later in life but all the evidence suggests the sooner you intervene the better the improvement in that child chances. what are the advantages of doing this? you get in even earlier while the spinal cord is still developing so you can correct what's gone wrong early and you can improve their lifelong chances. it can affect brain development and spinal—cord development. are there any risks associated with this operation? there are because you are operating when the baby is still developing. this requires, you imagine a c section because this is how you are getting in on the first place. so there will be a
