ration and everything in between moses a video and audio production by d w. i hope that you will tune in the this is focus on your up, i'm laura baba lola, welcome. for centuries, it was water that help protect the tiny archipelago event as against invaders, but now water itself has become the threat. in 2019, the italian city experienced the worst flooding in decades with high tide levels inundating the lagoon. historic buildings and architectural masterpieces were damaged, smaller floods continued to hit venice of sea levels rise in the foundations of the city city, and the lagoon is finally complete. when the tide is too high,
12:31 am
mosley is activated to stop the water from breaching the city. but keeping venice dry comes at a cost marine research or gay or on these are warns that the flood gates are only a short term solution. venice has fascinated the world for over 1600 years. and for just as long people have been scared of floods or worried that the city could sink into the sea. this is the latest attempt to protect venice. 78 metal barriers that can be raised to separate the sea from the laguna. the system is called moser, signal triple symbol, if we hadn't, had moses venice would have been irreparably destroyed on november 22nd over 2022. it was the 2nd highest flood in history called, but nothing happened to them. we were able to protect the lagoon and venice of del, provide long advantage. so elizabeth to spits has already given the order to raise
12:32 am
the barriers over 50 times, let's say, and she's having to do it increasingly frequently so they can watch the jeanette authority the most that we now know that the most it is a flexible instrument that does not always have to be opened, nor at the same time set down a little sub today, we know much more about the flux and when so we're in a position to act again. flooding that out within 50 has the most a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea and then a google scans. your easy to go. so that might lead. does that mean venice can be saved? climate experts predict that the sea level could rise by 60 centimeters by the end of the century. the oceanographer garrick, when the keys says that most it is just buying time the most alice and his moods
12:33 am
enough to say tennis game a man yes. at the moment seen so definitely in the next 1020 or 30 years. but if the sea level rises by 50 centimeters, and it will have to be $300.00 to $400.00 times. that's once a day 1st. i mean it wouldn't manage the shaft that it moves. it won't be able to cool as a structure. but nora will the lagoon manage it because it needs the exchange of water. uh, did i won't it? but often house gosh, marco see covina from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the lagoons ecosystem. he says the frequency with which most a is being used has not yet had any major consequences. but this could change if the lagoon is separated from the sea more frequently and for longer periods of time . that means that the okay, so minutes or so to say it could be that at some point we'll have to decide whether it makes sense to maintain that lagoon is a salt water lagoon or not that oversee the long closures interrupt the cycle between the sea and the lagoon, which is fundamental for venice, and we're also open to them. you know that it's what creates the lagoon. floors
12:34 am
opening, which determines what plants and animals can lived there. i think it, we're going to face the talk decision sort of, i said, because they could understand whether to save the lagoon or the city the nations would ideally keep both the sun. marco is the lowest point of venice and the 1st applied work is currently underway. to raise the square, the going to my buddy now were raised to a $110.00 centimeters in the square would no longer be under water. because it would manage up to a $110.00 centimeter with like flooding and uh over a $110.00 centimeters come and most of system would close. so in other words, there will be no more flooding on the san michael. he believes we need to have faith that people often forget that venice has sunk 30 centimeters in the past 150
12:35 am
years too much ground water has been pumped from the city's awkward verse, but ground water could also help save the city from disaster response that it's not always the water that's being pumped out this pump back in time, and ben is could rise by 30 centimeters again. i'm sorry, that would be the exact, the 30 centimeters that we've lost in the past, the 150 years. so the one i'm going to, let's move on it so we will be going back the button, the starting at 0 again, so to speak. most of us are he says that venice, as we know it cannot last forever in any case, at some point. the lagoon will have to be separated from the sea and the venetians will be forced to decide what kind of abided post cannot be rescued? we have to decide what to save some vent investment. there is only one benefit, it keeps no, i've been in a difficult decision. one venetians hope they will never have to make
12:36 am
it is a therapy that could be a game changer in the fight against cancer. radio isotopes cannot only detect but also target and destroy cancer cells. it only a handful of nuclear research reactors worldwide can produce them. and with the infrastructure, aging and cancer rates increasing globally, demand is fast outpacing supply. well, most of the research reactors are in europe, including one in belgium. scientists there say that if the wants to avoid serious shortages, more facilities need to be built and soon for many germans, it's an intimidating sight. the dome of a nuclear reactor, this plant in mole belgium is one of the oldest in europe. however, it's not actually used for generating energy, but rather for scientific research. it plays a central role in nuclear medicine. that now posts grew up so to speak, with
12:37 am
b r 2 and is proud of its history. let's say it's a set in the one of the most important to react though. yeah. for the, the liable supply or committee. could we do i that the rule, but he lifted him, $99.00 or molly $99.00 for short is the name of the coveted isotope that enables ultra personalized diagnoses of cancer and the task disease for up to 40000000 patients worldwide. but like all radioactive isotopes, it is not stable up to 66 hours, ha, the for us at the p is gone. so we cannot step 5. so it's very important that we have a very nice code. the nation between those 26 who react or in fact involved in the robot supply of 2099. so that's about certificate. but in germany there have already been bottlenecks and treatments have been postponed because there are only
12:38 am
6 reactors worldwide that make the isotope for in europe in belgium, the netherlands, poland, and check here one in australia and one in south africa in the americas in asia. none 50 percent of the real by morning. 199 club dissection is sent to the us and canada. so nope, i mean we go, it's the main consumer of morning 9960 some 99 in europe is consuming 25 percent of the bill by the men's and 75 percent is supplied around the us, however, supplies the uranium and keeps a close eye on safety in the aging belgian reactor, small is also a research center focusing on medicines of the future. radio isotopes are just for the diagnosis of cancer, but also for its treatment. radioactivity of all things may ultimately be
12:39 am
a game changer. there's lot of clinical trials on going, there's a lot of research groups trying to really get new new compounds into the clinic. so i think we only see the top of the high back because with the right combination of carrier molecule and isotope cancer cells could be directly targeted, which would spare, healthy tissue, and mean far fewer side effects. even highly aggressive types of cancer could be attacked in this way. the nuclear medicine is booming. the brand new, you're bored. a institute is the hospital in belgium for cancer treatment. here radio isotopes are used for diagnosis, but i've also been deployed in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, which even leads patients radioactive. for a day. after the radio isotope injection, the patient must be isolated for 24 hours. according to professor patrick's lawman,
12:40 am
after 4 injections tumor shrank and at least a 3rd of patients who had shown no response to other treatment. not yet a cure, but life prolonging and pain, relieving the success can be seen in what's called a pet scan. a 2000000 euro camera that makes the work of radioactive particles in the body visible against a backdrop of sunny skies in the belgian coast. this kind of environment takes away part of the x, sorry. see that the patients have when they answer disco football. this is one of the most successful moments that you can imagine and a page of live across these kinds of machinery to decide whether they rid of the treatments off efficient off with the effective or not. the opportunities offered by nuclear medicine have increased the demand for isotopes and with that increased pressure on the few reactors, the u wants to provide millions and research funding that reactors are not built
12:41 am
overnight. and many people are afraid of them. the graves over turned in a cemetery plots of land swallowed by the earth destruction that was caused not by an earthquake, but by sing calls residence in the southern polish town of tribune. yeah, are alarmed at the mass of craters that began appearing 2 years ago. at the root of the problem is a mine that was the commission decades ago. going away for to watch. i was recently widowed and his morning her husband's death, but you can't visit his grave because this thing cold of parts of his cemetery off limits, residents into bidding you are living in fear not knowing if the ground below them will collapse. the student, the sink holes were so big that entire buildings collapsed lose the show, but people are afraid for their lives. there are a lot of homes here. have
12:42 am
a house like this collapse is someone will die. yeah. like you don't make it. so she is actually no one knows where it's still safe should be in a small city in southern poland, sits above a massive cavity left behind by the coal mining industry. and it has gradually collapsing like the giant sink hole in this property, which has been hastily filled in yeah. and may have sky lives a few houses a week on john paul, the 2nd street. he lives with his wife and son for whom they move to the country side. he's very worried. he's trying to hold back into resistible force. you have to and that's it provides you. i've just filled in the soil here. i am jo, everything was level here and now you can see that it has sunk again. a 2nd. i'm
12:43 am
definitely afraid. you know? yeah, i go to bed. well, don't know what the crowns will collapse under arrest. the next morning club is just brought to you and you'll get them to, or if it will be a meet or deeper to could you tell me your budget, you're dropping it down on that data to utilize now. that should be in your coal. mine was clues at the turn of the millennium, and since then, the underground shots are filled up with water and stuff in the ground, which is started giving. we disagree. the ard was the kitchen, the summer. dozens of grieves disappeared into the sink hole. a great shock for general visa electric or her family grief with spirits, but she can no longer visit her husband's to dispose of that. that's no problem. you have to start over there. so that's where the yellow crane is. that white gave the stone right at the back half the symmetry has been closed for few years of new singles. right. it's hard. my husband died just recently.
12:44 am
the all she has left is the food to on her food. and the hope that the graveyard will be restored soon to be a city full lives in a state of emergency. some are already talking about it back to ration marietta to swap a quote, you know, is under pressure to take action. when did you establish tia? what's on the, when the, we're paying for the mistakes of the past? you know, of the mistakes made during the underground coal mining phase. before when the shops were an operation, the consequences were forgotten or ignored. i'll be put salvage center then when i look at all the documents today is the i believe all of this could have been foreseen who, books of each a number of properties and the time have been cordoned off. people are not allowed to enter a stay tuned. company
12:45 am
specializes in cleaning up damage caused by the mines. holes are being bored. 17 meters into the ground. the geologists are certain that their method will prevent future singles just goes to submit that. so we're going to fill these cavities with a mixture of dusty cement and sand to eliminate the possibility of the land to thinking in the future. i'm going to guess cool. thanks for being with us. the very mean we will continue doing this until we are confident that the area is safe for everyone to stay within well beach from valve by just 7 years. but that is our goal, and that is what we're going to achieve. the provides you types like these ones have been some can the ground everywhere and should be new. and thousands of cubic meters of cement being poured to fill the cavities. the mere hopes it will help. he feels it's the duty of the publish date is let me have them on government. show me off the sure. mean, i have no intention of using the cities resources to solve the problem is up and
12:46 am
over, which we had no influence on the consequences of which we are unfortunately suffering . now to them, we should be big enough for you bought back on john paul. the 2nd street. yeah. and may have ski visits, his neighbors, and boy chess from uh, who recently found cracks in the walls of a smaller part of the building is older than he is. but the cracks are new. tons of cement have already been pumped into the ground on his property, but he types will do any good. the workers moved on, he says, before the holes were even full of this was on zillow. the way they work here is you're not sure if it's done 100 percent properly if the or if the problem will come back. if you haven't yet for left. i still think a few days later the ground in his neighborhood caves. and again, here's bread from an apartment building the residence of should be near,
12:47 am
continue to live in fear fit junctions, built pyramids as monuments for pharaohs, and albania, as capital was also home to one. originally made to honor ally dictator. during communist rule, the pyramid of toronto was a museum dedicated to a former leader, and for a whole, jeff, well, it has since been given a new lease on life as a monument to the people. now the pyramid has been transformed into a cultural hub, but not everyone is a fam. fontose lu vanya was imprisoned under the communist dictator's regime. he sees the newly renovated pyramid as an attempt to gloss over a dark chapter in his country's history. it's gone. what it takes to become the new landmark about pena's capital, to run up the pyramid at the heart of the city every day, hundreds of locals and tourists climb up it and enjoy the view from the top. so
12:48 am
it's wonderful here and i'm usually not good at climbing, but i made it up here before that. so it would be great if there were an elevator up here for us. old people call it, it's totally changed here. and i still remember what it used to look like, but no really beautiful. because the parent was the landmark of toronto once before 35 years ago. it was inaugurated as the end for hose and museum and dedicated to the former dictator of albania. how much it was a style and it says brutal rain lasted over 40 years. 5, how slow bone you was, one of tens of thousands of political prisoners at the time, or the pyramid, he says with a symbol of oppression. and is now a symbol of modern albania, is historical ignorance. look, this nice little bit data, you'll go up and you'll see to around all the feet. but there is no, there's
12:49 am
a few more. and i went, i mean, i mean, i mean, as a symbol of the dictators at home, the bone, your shows us what he means to the bone. his father was a functionary and the who was your machine before he fell out of favor. the whole family was forced to atone. will refuse for education propaganda. is there a game for people and the rest of them the family was sent in depredation. livonia was a prisoner of the osha regime for 17 years. he spent most of this time doing forced labor and then a toria spots prison. this is all remaining of a light for the mix light lamps far we use it in the mine you know spanish was like a stolen is to lock hell on earth. survival under,
12:50 am
in human conditions. almost all books were strictly forbidden, apart from dictionaries which livonia used to hide something that would later making famous. his 1st book, written on cigarette paper during his incarceration in miniature script. subject to me by a friend the bonia is now a writer and artist, and a critical voice and albania. in his view, the renovated pyramid is an attempt to erase the dark history of communism in albania. no one can, among, than your young generation. come here and find the trace of of the past. quite the opposite says architect again to your goalie while planning the new pair and the dutch architects in charge were always concerned with making the past visible. the most important change this bound on the stairs. and the majority of things you
12:51 am
should properly show people should feel like they are incurring that terrible symbolically opposing communism. i'm using dictatorship, the florida on the community is me from the the, the stuff the word again and again, the buildings history is revealed in various places. this is all part of it's only painted and it's so rough that to, to show the history of in the new pyramid, everything revolves around the future. colorful cubes built into the vast space. how's the 2 most center for creative technology? the young people can learn to implement their ideas here using state of the art technology. anyone can take part here and it's free of the cars to come reduce. i've already done a few introductory courses at to mo, and i think i'll continue. i see my future and technology technology and tutors
12:52 am
also lend a helping hand in the workshop next door. a project is nearing completion and it's not about computer games. but about obeying is dark past the normal course for to the machine. and so this is a graphic design class at tumor, and we're working on a project about spots present to brittany point. we're going to sponsor a project about of all things the prison where fontose livonia withheld. perhaps he'll be news or not as oblivious to history as he fears. it's important to understand how was it, how it was created. and this is how we suffer through so much because of the see little how in order not to repeat something they seem to be working on in the new pair of the delivery on demand has a revolutionize the consumer world. but this transport truck in france is like no
12:53 am
other. with a flip of a switch, it transforms into a cinema. it's culture on demand for small towns without a movie, theater, and initiative supported by the state. instead of streaming at home alone, audiences of all ages come together for a unique cinematic experience. it's always entertaining when joseph tippon ski drive this truck the lar valley and central friends. and all the more so when he transforms it into a sentiment with a few presses of a button. the same appeal can see 100 people. the running is a one man show initial fail. we drive, look after the audience sell tickets, project the films clean up all by yourself. we'll see you have to wear many hats, but all onto the tickets. get to 1st off for the kids to watch an animated film. people here see that the move outs and amount is getting some children access to
12:54 am
culture for the 1st time to show them that. so it's great, that's the new mobility of this and that way children don't have to go into town to the course. that's fine. this is turned on for this and will be opens up new opportunities and giving children a bit of education, an introduction to film, so to speak. there are sending will be used, working across the region and showing the latest bills. people can go to the cinema without it being a big hassle. set down is this way, people experience culture that they wouldn't otherwise have access to like older people in a retirement home. for example, on amazon, the type the ticket price is also accessible. children pay for euros and adults p $6.00 us 20. but the tickets don't cover the at so covers that each cynical deal is
12:55 am
worth $1200000.00 euros, but the regional president thinks it's money well spent. single, do know really cool. if we only give it to people in big size, the gap arises. and there's a feeling that there are people who have access to culture and those who don't see why they could do it. we don't want that to be. culture has to unite people could just bring us together. and i could do i press on the, at a time when our societies are very fragile. 50. so one quick question. this, the name will be elizabeth more than cinema. it's also about francis identity. it's culture and society. well, that shows an upgrade from them all by libraries of my childhood. that's all from us this week and focus on your up thanks so much for your company. bye for now. the
12:56 am
the,
12:57 am
into the conflicts with tim, sebastian, the israel. how about small booth briefly to an open courtroom with the hey, how the city is welcome to move into the my guess was stuff about booty and the westbank who has the palestinian national initiative we've been about to be in such a difficult situation. so how will the more and can garza ever be rebuilt? conflict in assessment is on dw, the 8th, and as i said, that dyed start make sense for me anymore. i've already tried everything. but what about this new approach? personalized nutrition, one blood sugar experiment, offer some insight, duties, measurements of yourself and your responses to different fluids. this is even more
12:58 am
important. and the result is a special diet for your body type in 75 minutes on d w, the database. but we will tell you what the story we have in getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the force and for the future feelings about what's going on in the industry. instead of being discussed across the continent, dw, and use africa every friday on the w. sometimes a seed is of all you need to allow big ideas to grow, or bring an environmental conservation to wife with learning facts like global
12:59 am
ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now for the so you don't think and feel the same way you expect and want different things from life and your parent. i just want to pursue what sets my saw on fire or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, unreasonable stuff. i want my son to become a doctor, to in the canal. it's time to to us. and then when generations class this week on d w,
1:00 am
the, this is dw news, and these are our top stores. so focused on his, expelled around and best to the end record its own invoice from tehran after and then ran into the strength to unpack. as donnie, so as long abad said that 2 children were killed and what it called a license violation of a test based around says the strike target at the headquarters of the militant group, j. adult toronto has accused the group is carrying out parent attacks on the ready and so the shipment of medicine intended for is riley hostages, being held in gaza has arrived in the territory.
