DESCRIPTION:Recent Herschel/PACS observations have detected massive amount
 s of molecular gas gusting at high velocities - in some cases in excess of
  1000 kilometres per second - from the centres of a set of merging galaxie
 s. Driven by star formation and central black holes\, these powerful storm
 s are strong enough to sweep away billions of solar masses of molecular ga
 s and to interfere with global galactic processes. These observations indi
 cate that\, in the galaxies hosting the brightest Active Galactic Nuclei\,
  outflows can clear the entire supply for creating stars and feeding the b
 lack hole. This finding provides long-sought-after evidence of highly ener
 getic feedback processes taking place in galaxies as they evolve.  I will 
 summarize the current status of this ongoing observing programme as well a
 s of further recent mm-observations in the context of molecular outflows.
