the, the, this is dw news line from berlin, the father of the so called con particle designs at the age of 94. is peter higgs proposed the existence of the he expose on speak to the scientists will confirm the particles existence, decades later, with an emotional hicks watching the audience. also coming up a landmark court ruling in favor of swift senior citizens who i'm say, their government is not doing enough to stop climate change. and german lawyers at that you ins. top court argue that german support for israel does not violate international law. nicaragua accuses germany of helping israel commit a legend, genocide in gaza. the

i'm here until merlin, thank you very much for joining us. if you helped on arrival, one of the greatest agreements in physics are needing his place. a long time names like isaac newton, albert einstein, the father of the so called god particle, the nobel prize winning physicist peter hicks as died age 94. the university of edinburgh says he passed away peacefully in his home. pigs was famous for his groundbreaking theory from the 19 sixty's, which proposed a new particle known as the heat exposed on. he argued that the bows on help to bind the universe together by giving particles their mass decades later, his theory was proven by physicist working at the large hadron collider at sarah in switzerland. he was honored with a nobel prize for physics in 2013. to earlier i spoke to please,

this is joseph ink and download from the university of california. you announced the discovery of the higgs bows on in 2012 with peter hicks in the audience. well, obviously it was a tremendously exciting moments and perhaps one of the biggest moments in our, in our field for many decades. and i wasn't absolutely certain that peter would be there until shortly before and we were just very happy that he could be there. i saw, i saw that you showed a little clip with him wanting xyz. he was very emotional at the time when we noticed the discovery. i was representing the cns experiment, which i show in the picture behind me here in the notes and them to you. it was worth attending the alice experiment. and together we both have very strong evidence for the particle that he propose almost half a century earlier. so it was a long road to get there before we continue. could you please help some more. he was understand exactly what the importance of the discovery of the higgs bows on

men for physics. this was a very key part of our understanding of how, how the fundamental forces and particles exist. what we do in particle physics is try to understand the really the most basic elements of nature, which are the fundamental particles and the forces. and we developed over much of the early 20th century, a pretty good understanding of, of how this all worked. and um, one piece the one piece of deposit was trying to understand how some of the forest caring particles could have. and that's an impact how any particle cabinet step became suddenly a stumbling box block for any, any real completion of understanding of reimbursed. and it's extremely important in the sense that if you don't have minutes of particles, for example, is feel what's wrong with mass list,

that there could be no out and we would not exist. and it turns out that this ability just to create mass particles occurring early in the universe. the universe wasn't essentially unable to do that initially. but a transition occurs. and this is, uh, this isn't really what's not known as the problem. and we're heading to my condition and there's impactful associated with it, which as you mentioned was, takes, is called these bugs on. uh huh. and that article has often been referred to as the god particle, or also the hymns bows on. but we know that mr. higgs was never really comfortable with that term. what's the, tell us about the man as he was incredibly tumble. um and i don't know if he was religious, frankly, but as a few minutes ago was remarkably decent. while man or person will. i mean, he was just wonderful. we all loved him in the fields. and at the time of the discovery he was asked to speak and he said, you know,

he just showing some ability of today's, for the experimental assume who would discover this. you know, you can talk to me some of the time, whole thing with him as a wonderful guy. and there was almost 50 years between this when mr. hicks proposed behavior goes on and it's discovery. why exactly did it take so long? it was really or actually i'm just trying to discover this. i think 3 generations of scientists, including the who, most of our career, you know, that was one of the biggest goals. one could imagine finding the expos on. if you took an excel reader that was, you know, it was that sir, and that's, you know, something like 27 kilometers and stuff circumference. we had to go to extremely high energies, incredibly, not high number of proton proton solutions. and i estimated that, you know, our signal that we found the hicks with the discovery it was something like a few 100 for the time, for the fine delusions. and that was out of $1000000000.00 total collisions. so it

was really, really difficult to find and it's a very dedicated experiments with thousands of businesses. many, many people contributed to this. and, and it was, i said it took almost a generation to prepare and find this, this powerful, withdrawing in spanish. and is that every honest, honestly work that was just have been conducted distinguished professor of physics and the vice chancellor for research at the university of california. santa barbara, thank you very much for your insights. it's, it's me to europe's top human rights court has ruled in favor of a group of swiss pensioners who argue their governments in action on climate change has put their lives at risk. it's a landmark decision, one that could influence legislation across europe and give a boost to activists who say their governments are failing to tackle global warming . these women have made climate history some 2500 swiss pensioners through their own government because it's handling of the climate crisis put their health at risk

. the european human rights question strossberg funds ruled in their favor. a landmark decision cementing the idea that governments claimants in action can violate human rights that they use their base detox. this is the best they. yeah. that's we have the right thing history. and as i pushed on the way i understood it, switzerland has done too little, took up the time of crisis and violated human rights. that's a nice victory bagley's too. and they'll see some of the applicants use their own medical records to support the case. they said that he waits, which has become stronger, and more frequent with climate change are especially risky for them. as elderly women, 16 of the grand chambers, 17 judges voted in favor of this with women's associations. as a result, they concluded that this was government failed to meet emission targets and but it should have examined the associations complaints you can draw up, the ruling will be communicated to switzerland and it will have certain measures that switzerland will have to perform to do more but the plaintive stress,

the ruling isn't totally for their benefit. yeah, i understand all of it at all when all affected, not only all the women, it's been proven that they're out a greater risk. but it's important that everyone has kid phones that's filled out a sort of the i saw that this was the associations case wasn't the only one the courts considered today. 6 young people from portugal suits 32 european countries. because increasing climate extremes, like the wild, far as in portugal, make the planet unlivable for future generations. a former french mer also suited his own government for not taking significant steps to fight climate change. but the court ruled both cases as in admissible on procedural grinds. still the one when of the day to change the future of climate litigation is the 1st time a powerful court has ruled on climate change. and it could set a precedent for more people taking the government to court holdings. there was some responsible for their actions and this as a result of this can meet in no way that we get feedback. this means that we have

to fight even more since the beginning because in the time its emergency, everything is that state. the effects could be felt in courts across europe, or even the world. let's take a look at out some other stories making headlines around the world. the top court in the us state of arizona that has reinstated an abortion band. there it bars all abortions except when necessary to save a mother's life. many active as in lawmakers have slammed the ruling while the states democratic governor called it a dark day of the south. koreans are electing a new parliament. the result will determine what the president is you and so you can push forward with a socially conservative agenda. opinion polls i had a vote, predicted a close outcome south africa's electronic record has given the former president, jacob's too much the go ahead to stand in next month's general election was

previously martin because of his criminal record is a mobile represent the new m. k opposition party against the ruling african national congress. but he also what rescue teams in italy are searching for survivors after an underground explosion at a hydro electric plant. at least 3 people were killed and several others seriously injured. it happened while maintenance work was underway at the plant cellphone, below new drug nation says that the bodies of 38 migrants have been recovered from a shipwreck after booty. children are among the dead and is least 6 people are missing. local authorities are helping a group of survivors. the boat was carrying around 60 migrants each year, thousands follow the so called eastern route from africa through yemen to saudi arabia. and then finally, your as you have on the idea of the international organization for

migration, says the boat, which sank was travelling in the opposite direction to most of the migrant traffic . what we now know is that this particular vessel was leaving yemen for get to see. now what we have is a situation where you have tens of thousands of migrants who leave the coast of the region. they leave to go to g, trying to get to saudi arabia to cross over the board with yemen to saudi arabia. in this particular situation, we have discovered what we have found is that these individuals maybe didn't make it, they couldn't quite get across the board to so they were returning. so what we have is mixed migration flows. that is african migrants who try to leave the whole of buffer car cross the many border, hoping to get to saudi arabia to find jobs. and then we have those who don't make it to try to return. and in this particular incident and situation,

it appears that these were my goods through the whole of africa, primarily somalia. and if you appeal to a now trying to get back to duty, maybe to try again. maybe some of them to try and reach the countries of origin. germany has presented its defense that the international court of justice to an accusation of facilities in genocide and gaza. nicaragua is seeking to hold german weapons exports to israel, claiming that they are potentially being used to commit genocide. germany rejects the accusations, seen it is trying to balance its responsibilities to both israel and the palestinian people. israel security is at the core of german foreign policy. that is how germany justified it's going to support of israel as it rejected in nicaragua, as accusations at the i. c. j. still, many has learned from its post posts that includes the responsibility for one of

the most of the crime since human history the show. but despite that history, nicaragua says germany's military support of israel is in breach of the genocide convention. germany is, israel is 2nd to largest supplier of arms and make a rug with says those experts are enabling is riley forces to commit to potential acts of genocide in gaza, application in the gym. and he says, the accusations are not placed on fact and, and let me only supplies on the basis of detached scrutiny scrutiny. the only respect but far exceeds the requirements of international law is argued different. nicaragua has grossly distorted the quantities and purposes of berlin's palms. exports to israel. and if we look at what has actually been license for export to israel under this framework. since october 2023. we see no artillery

shells, no munitions. nearly all experts, the exports involve what is known as of the military equipment. typically of the subordinate or defensive nature position is israel's conduct in gaza. it's central to this case. and so many questions how the cold can rule without israel's presence to allow heat, also lash downs that nicaragua for focusing on israel's actions through but ignoring those of from us fire. unlike nicaragua, germany is not blind to the fact that thomas also has obligations under international humanitarian law including towards the civilian population in regards of so tony does how much not comply with its obligations, but it also renounces standing responsibility in the most significant manner. the judges must now decide whether to impose emergency measures to holtz german onto exports, to israel, and you're up to date, but just stick around up. next we have
