You don't have to be a scientist and to know lots and lots of stuff to have an appetite for wonder but it helps. Professor Richard Dawkins discusses about the influences and inspirations that have shaped his life and thinking while he is is talking about his book.
Chatting to science broadcaster Adam Rutherford in the world-famous Royal Institution Lecture Theatre, the pioneering scientist and public thinker reveals how he developed an "appetite for wonder" for the biological sciences.
From his upbringing in Nairobi and Nyasaland (now Malawi) to his early experiences with religion, Dawkins talks about his motivations for becoming a scientist and his experiences at Oxford University and Berkeley, California during a period of social and political unrest.
Find out how he arrived at the idea of the "selfish gene" -- the basis of his seminal 1976 publication, one of the best-selling popular science books ever written -- and discover more about his research and writing process.

Richard Dawkins in Conversation with Adam Rutherford
Donald Trump confirms he will appeal against historic conviction
That Donald Trump is stupid is rather clear. His behavior proves that and people are saying that over and over again. He has been found guilty for some stupid things he had did some years ago and the guy says that he will appeal against historic conviction (he is the fist United States president that was on trial and found guilty - the former US President was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his trial two days ago).
Donald Trump has confirmed he will appeal against his historic conviction in his New York trial in remarks at Trump Tower. He claims his prosecution was politically orchestrated and that the trial was "rigged". "We're going to be appealing this scam," he said, before complaining about the conduct of Justice Juan Merchan.
