Good evening. All but essential public services in the US have shut | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
down, which means that national parks, museums and tourist offices | :00:23. | :00:35. | |
have closed. In the past hour, President Obama spoke at the Rose | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Garden in the White House and he blamed the Republicans and said | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Garden in the White House and he the shutdown was entirely avoidable. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
The shutdown is not about deficits or budgets, it is about rolling | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
The shutdown is not about deficits insurance to folks that do not have | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
affordable care. This, more than it. It is all about rolling back the | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
affordable care. This, more than anything else, seems to be what | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
affordable care. This, more than days. I know it is strange that | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
affordable care. This, more than party would make keeping people | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
affordable care. This, more than ensured the centrepiece of their | :01:08. | :01:10. | |

on unpaid leave in the first major government shutdown in the US since | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
the Clinton era in the mid-1990s. At changes which some Republicans want | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
At midnight, the money ran out. changes which some Republicans want | :01:58. | :02:15. | |
night, bills had gone back and forth between the House of Representatives | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
and the Senate, but they could not destroyed President Obama's sweeping | :02:17. | :02:26. | |
reform of the US health care system. Democrats refused to accept that. | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
There is a huge divide between the two sides. This shutdown, whilst it | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
might be a joy to all of you who oppose the government, is a luxury | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
that the country cannot afford. The way to resolve the differences is to | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
sit down and talk. There is no one here on the other side of the table. | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
None of it as a surprise for this man, a lawyer with the federal | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
government. It felt like a normal morning, preceding his son to eat | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
breakfast and looking after his newborn daughter. But he has been | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
told not to go into work. We will be fine for a little while, but not for | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
a long time. We will have to start paying for day care for her soon. We | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
have medical bills for her. It is not an ideal time for him to be | :03:21. | :03:30. | |

Let us talk to a senior legal fellow Let us talk some more about this. | :04:02. | :04:11. | |
Let us talk to a senior legal fellow with the Heritage Foundation's why'd | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
you think senior Republicans are holding the nation to hostage? Do | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
you think senior Republicans are not forget that the reason we are in | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
you think senior Republicans are this situation today is because | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
you think senior Republicans are refused to pass a regular budget | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
you think senior Republicans are the government has been operating on | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
a continuing resolution. They have government, with the exception of | :04:34. | :04:45. | |
vast majority of the American people agree with that and do not want | :04:45. | :04:58. | |
vast majority of the American people dusted, so why bring that all up now | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
again? That is not true, it is a real mess. There are something like | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
80 different parts of the bill with implemented. The Administration | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
insurance, the administration has missed more than half of them. The | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
insurance, the administration has said that they will not enforce | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
insurance, the administration has foray year, but they will enforce | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
the individual mandate for American citizens. That shows just how much | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
the administration, frankly, has been unable to put this mass of | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
the administration, frankly, has into place. A one-year delay, which | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
is all we are asking for now, would allow all of the parts to be working | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
at the same time. The last time allow all of the parts to be working | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
this happened during the Clinton era, the Republicans came off much | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
Republicans then that is in danger of happening again. That is the | :05:57. | :06:09. | |
Republicans then that is in danger you actually look at the balanced | :06:10. | :06:12. | |

American people will not notice shutdown goes on for a while, the | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
federal government being shut down, because most of the government is | :06:46. | :06:55. | |
employees. The federal government has 4.5 million federal employees. | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
40% of the government is operating. employees who are not getting paid? | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
yesterday and they will not get employees who are not getting paid? | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
again for two weeks anyway, so none potentially they might. There are a | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
lot of worried families out there, you have to accept. How do you think | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
opinion? I think a lot of people do this will be resolved, in your | :07:28. | :07:34. | |

The time frame is one thing. That is in the midst of a raging Civil War. | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
going to be exceedingly challenging to deliver. But if everything stays | :08:35. | :08:41. | |

various guises, cooperate, then cooperate and the opposition, in its | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
can be done. But during a war, I do not think it is achievable. It is | :08:52. | :09:04. | |
similar to the project in Iraq in the 1990s. They are keen to get | :09:04. | :09:14. | |
similar to the project in Iraq in right this time. After they have | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
visited and verified the chemical weapons sites, the first priority | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
will be to destroy the materials used to make them and the munitions | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
used to deliver them. That alone should make it impossible for the | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
weapons to be used, taking them should make it impossible for the | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
of the picture. But the war itself conventional weapons which will | :09:34. | :09:49. | |

Party have appeared in court. They are being charged with being part of | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
a criminal organisation. The MPs were arrested at the weekend, along | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
with the leader of Golden Dawn, which is the third biggest party in | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
the Greek Parliament currently. Mark, tell us who is appearing in | :10:07. | :10:15. | |
These were four of the six MPs who were arrested and is extremely | :10:15. | :10:20. | |

Dawn in which 22 members of the party were arrested. The party | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
leader will be in court tomorrow and the number two of the party will be | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
in court on Thursday. They appeared in court in order to present their | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
defence. It will be decided whether or not they will be kept in custody. | :10:43. | :10:53. | |
money-laundering. There has been a lot about this, in the media there | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
indictment itself. It has been said paraphernalia being found their | :11:00. | :11:28. | |
indictment itself. It has been said that they operated within that say | :11:28. | :11:47. | |

would have to destroy that message after reading it. This all gets | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
would have to destroy that message to the government's allegation that | :11:59. | :12:20. | |
the government has finally taken action against a group that has | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
the government has finally taken been accused of vigilante attacks. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
It is the third biggest party in the Greek Parliament. It has 18 MPs | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
It is the third biggest party in the Constitution, political party cannot | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
be banned. That is why they are using legal means to try to rein | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
by-elections in those seats, the government is confident that it | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
would win any by-election and it now has the party on the back-seat and | :12:50. | :12:58. | |
it can finally crush Golden Dawn. There were 200 or 300 members waving | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
flags. They still believe in their party, they believe that this is an | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
unjust, unfair witchhunt against a proudly Nationalist party. To crush | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
Golden Dawn altogether will be a very tough challenge. Thank you | :13:15. | :13:23. | |

We have sent plenty of unmanned explorers into space but how much do | :17:17. | :17:34. | |
we really know about what is beneath the surface of our oceans? Here | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
They are unmanned drones at using scientists are testing the latest | :17:41. | :17:50. | |
They are unmanned drones at using give us either in the darkest depths | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
of the sea bed that we never seen before. They will be used to monitor | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
marine life and oil spills. They will give us three the vision of the | :17:59. | :18:10. | |
ships and shipping lanes. I think is so much to discover, and new | :18:10. | :18:26. | |
ships and shipping lanes. I think intelligent technology can get us | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
inside a vast area of the planet. The key to the future of these | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
drones and machines is getting them semi-autonomous lay. For example, in | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
military terms, in a harbour like identifying a minor and another | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
disabling it. The trouble is, the radio waves to demand these machines | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
do not travel particularly well through sea water which means that | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
marine drones have to communicate I communicate by sound. Like dolphins | :18:56. | :19:05. | |
these machines will be constantly chirping to one another to swap | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
commands which are high-level, and like, explore this area, pick up | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
photos of this particular species and it uses its own senses and its | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
own artificial intelligence to go and pick up BTL and that we request. | :19:22. | :19:33. | |
-- pick up the TL omits that we request. This was used to dive on | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
the wreck of the Titanic in the 1980s and still this is one of only | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
six such submersibles in the world. This is a titanium sphere which | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
six such submersibles in the world. withstand pressure up to 6000 metres | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
but it is manned and unwieldy and extremely expensive to transport. By | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
contrast, the marine drones are smaller, more versatile in the | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
water, and they are much, much cheaper. If the scientists can | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
perfect the technology, they can multiply the number of scientific | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
exploration they organise and a multiply the number of scientific | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
to day bring back will be unlike anything we have ever seen before. | :20:14. | :20:27. | |
I think most of us have done this - pretend that we are strumming an | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
imaginary guitar, playing the piano or some other musical instrument. | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
Well, now it seems that there may be some actual musical merit in doing | :20:34. | :20:36. | |

of the creative process. Researchers UK have concluded that this kind of | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
pretend playing of an instrument can help inspire musicians. Jon Brain | :20:44. | :20:59. | |
discernible musical talent, you don't even need an instrument. But | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
the creative process often kicks in don't even need an instrument. But | :21:02. | :21:20. | |
the creative process often kicks in performing or even practising full. | :21:20. | :21:30. | |
this horn player. He was often doing anything but actually playing the | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
horn but it seemed to work, the George English was getting in some | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
rehearsal time. He agrees that it is is a rhythm to it and I think we | :21:43. | :22:04. | |

if you are also putting in the hard hours to learn for real. Imaginary | :22:09. | :22:19. | |
I don't know what to make of that. With me is Mirjam James, who's | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
involved with the study. She's a research fellow with the University | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
of Cambridge. What made you want to undertake this research? One of | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
of Cambridge. What made you want to things is that the study is part of | :22:36. | :22:45. | |
musician myself. I have played an instrument and I sang for many years | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
and one of the things, you can be technically very good but what makes | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
it successful as a performer is technically very good but what makes | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
you have an extra little bit of input which is very individual. | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
you have an extra little bit of do you get there? That is a question | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
we wanted and serve. What is that link? Did you do that before you | :23:03. | :23:13. | |
pretending to play? No. Practices usually perceived as the hours that | :23:13. | :23:23. | |
Musicians are mad about that. But when we look at our students, how | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
they develop their ideas are and creative ideas and their own take on | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
that piece, they did it away from the instrument. Did they visualise | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
their fingers on the note? No. They would sing. It didn't need to be the | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
peace they were playing, it was would sing. It didn't need to be the | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
to get an idea of what it was about. One of the students song something | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
completely different that he thought was Spanish or he would go to the | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
piano and play something which he felt sounded like a Spanish rhythm. | :23:58. | :24:08. | |
So it helps them compose original PCs or does it help them improve | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
generally? Ella Max it helps them improve the understanding of the | :24:13. | :24:22. | |
different ways around it. Just take the instant away and try to think of | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
something else to do, to think of to What about budding musicians? Will | :24:26. | :24:59. | |
