:21:10. > :21:12.Scientists in Germany say they hope the discovery of a new antibiotic
:21:13. > :21:14.inside the human nose could open a new front
:21:15. > :21:18.New antibiotics are desperately needed as doctors face a growing
:21:19. > :21:19.challenge from infections that resist existing drugs
:21:20. > :21:33.Our science editor David Shukman has the story.
:21:34. > :21:44.Over billions of years, bacteria evolve, some adapting to resist
:21:45. > :21:48.bugs. Penicillin was the first antibiotic,
:21:49. > :21:53.an invention that saved millions of lives. But since, researchers
:21:54. > :21:56.struggled to come up with new weapons against the most dangerous
:21:57. > :21:59.bacteria, until now. It is significant. When we have been
:22:00. > :22:03.looking for antibiotics in the past we have been either trying to make
:22:04. > :22:07.them in the laboratory, using chemistry, or we have gone out into
:22:08. > :22:13.the environment, to look for organisms in the soil. So this is
:22:14. > :22:17.really the first report, or an early report of finding antibiotics in our
:22:18. > :22:21.bodies. Superbugs that can't be defeated by
:22:22. > :22:27.antibiotics are a growing threat. This discovery could in future prove
:22:28. > :22:32.life-saving. It starts, bizarrely, inside the nose. It is not a
:22:33. > :22:38.pleasant thought but lots of bacteria exist up there and compete.
:22:39. > :22:42.One can cause MRSA but it turns out another kind of bacteria can swap
:22:43. > :22:48.it. The key finding from the scientist in Germany. They found a
:22:49. > :22:56.gene in the microbe produces a substance that they have called lug
:22:57. > :23:01.dinin. When given it to mice, it saw it could resist infections. So it
:23:02. > :23:05.creates what could become a new type of antibiotic.
:23:06. > :23:10.Developing drugs is never a rapid process. It could be a decade before
:23:11. > :23:16.the discovery is turned into a real medicine. But for Emily Morris, help
:23:17. > :23:20.can't come soon enough. She is well now but keeps getting serious
:23:21. > :23:25.infections that put her in hospital and the options are running out.
:23:26. > :23:29.There will be a time, I'm expecting the time when they say that they
:23:30. > :23:34.can't treat this one. Then it is what happens then? That is why me
:23:35. > :23:38.and my family are really worried. But hopefully, with the new
:23:39. > :23:43.technology and things like that, it will look at more positive things.
:23:44. > :23:47.The real surprise is where this new antibiotic has been found. Until
:23:48. > :23:51.now, no-one thought that the human nose would be hash ouring useful
:23:52. > :23:58.bacteria to defeat the dangerous ones. But given the emerging threat
:23:59. > :24:00.of superbugs, all that matters is that we find something that does
:24:01. > :24:02.beat them. In Philadelphia Hillary
:24:03. > :24:04.Clinton will bring the Democratic Convention to a close
:24:05. > :24:07.later tonight when she formally accepts the party's nomination
:24:08. > :24:09.for the US Presidency. Last night, Barack Obama told
:24:10. > :24:11.delegates that there has never been a candidate more qualified to be
:24:12. > :24:14.President than Hillary Clinton. Our North America editor
:24:15. > :24:23.Jon Sopel sent this report. They chanted the war cry
:24:24. > :24:25.from eight years ago But he was here to say, "yes,
:24:26. > :24:36.she can, and yes she should". The great speech-maker
:24:37. > :24:38.using all his powers to convince the American people
:24:39. > :24:41.of Hillary Clinton's virtues. There has never been
:24:42. > :24:48.a man or a woman, not me, not Bill, nobody, more qualified
:24:49. > :24:50.than Hillary Clinton to serve as president
:24:51. > :24:57.of the United States of America. And you can see how much
:24:58. > :25:01.Bill Clinton loved that. Barack Obama said she had
:25:02. > :25:06.the temperament and judgment in matters of national security,
:25:07. > :25:10.unlike her rival, Donald Trump. I know Hillary won't relent
:25:11. > :25:12.until Isil is destroyed. And she will do it without resorting
:25:13. > :25:17.to torture, or banning entire She is fit and she is ready to be
:25:18. > :25:34.the next Commander-in-Chief. There
:25:35. > :25:35.is more than one New York This one, the former
:25:36. > :25:41.Republican Mayor of the city, I am a New Yorker, and I know
:25:42. > :25:48.a con when I see one. From the Vice President,
:25:49. > :25:52.another attack. This time with a slogan that
:25:53. > :25:55.just might catch on. He has no clue about what makes
:25:56. > :25:57.America This is how they do it in politics,
:25:58. > :26:15.with a big hug. The most powerful, visual symbol
:26:16. > :26:17.Of what President Obama hopes will be a transfer of power,
:26:18. > :26:21.not the end of an era. But if it was all love
:26:22. > :26:24.inside the arena, it's a different This lunch time at one
:26:25. > :26:32.of Philadelphia's most famous land marks, the doubters
:26:33. > :26:34.were not hard to find. I think she should have
:26:35. > :26:40.been more upfront about The list goes from here
:26:41. > :26:45.all the way to New York. Right now, if I had to pick
:26:46. > :26:48.from the two, the stronger candidate, that would
:26:49. > :26:49.be Donald Trump. I was for Donald Trump
:26:50. > :26:58.in the beginning, now I'm starting starting to see that Hillary
:26:59. > :27:01.is a little more serious. But some had been
:27:02. > :27:03.on less of a journey. As this convention is drawing
:27:04. > :27:21.to a close, Hillary Clinton will be hoping a lot more
:27:22. > :27:23.people will be saying, It is going to be tough
:27:24. > :27:37.for Hillary Clinton to match She will say she is steadfast, who
:27:38. > :27:41.will deliver for the working class of the country, whereas Donald Trump
:27:42. > :27:45.represents the billionaires. But in a sense, one speech is not what
:27:46. > :27:51.Hillary Clinton needs. You saw the views in the diner. The doubts about
:27:52. > :27:55.her honesty and integrity run deep. Those are questions she must
:27:56. > :28:02.address. A policeman said: In this election there is a choice between a
:28:03. > :28:09.witch and a bufoon. An election is about choice, I think this November
:28:10. > :28:15.it is more of a dilemma for some. Thank you very much Jon Soham.

:28:35. > :28:39.there are some flashing images in his report.
:28:40. > :28:42.Few have waited as long or struggled as hard but finally,
:28:43. > :28:48.Jazz Carlin was still a teenager when she won her first major medals.
:28:49. > :28:51.She looked set to be one of the stars of London 2012,
:28:52. > :28:53.but then illness cruelly ended her hopes,
:28:54. > :29:02.I found out I had glandular fever, and it was a really tough time.
:29:03. > :29:04.I was getting tonsillitis every two to three weeks.
:29:05. > :29:07.I had to take time away from the sport, find my love for it
:29:08. > :29:10.again, find the enjoyment and the passion that I needed.
:29:11. > :29:15.And come 2014 and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow,
:29:16. > :29:23.Jazz Carlin from Swansea takes Wales to gold!
:29:24. > :29:31.and after the heartache of London, tears, this time of joy.
:29:32. > :29:34.For Glasgow, it was the kind of home games I'd never got to experience.
:29:35. > :29:37.To be standing on top of the podium, hearing the national anthem
:29:38. > :29:42.was probably my proudest moment to date, really.
:29:43. > :29:45.A lot of people have spoken about your determination.
:29:46. > :29:49.I know your former coach nicknamed you Pitbull.
:29:50. > :29:51.Does that sum up your character, do you think?
:29:52. > :29:57.I think it's one of those things, whether I was at school
:29:58. > :30:00.in the sports days, I used to love racing, even the sack...
:30:01. > :30:11.Training is a hard slog sometimes when you're up early
:30:12. > :30:15.Especially being a distance swimmer, I'm always the first one in the pool
:30:16. > :30:18.I'm doing between 70 and 80 kilometres a week.
:30:19. > :30:21.I get home sometimes and just fall asleep on the sofa,
:30:22. > :30:26.It's tough at times, but it makes it all worth it
:30:27. > :30:32.What does it mean to you to finally compete in the Olympics?
:30:33. > :30:35.Yeah, it's one of those things that when you're a young girl
:30:36. > :30:37.dreaming of the Olympics, you watch these amazing athletes
:30:38. > :30:44.It's just one of those things where it's a really surreal feeling,
:30:45. > :30:47.and to finally say I'm going to be an Olympian is incredible.
:30:48. > :30:50.And so, from the pain of 2012 to perhaps a podium in 2016,
:30:51. > :30:53.Jazz Carlin will be hoping her Olympic journey ends in a smile.
:30:54. > :31:12.Newsnight is coming up on BBC Two with Kirsty Wark.
