8:30 am
the files give rise to don't really have to go see starts january 27th. the this is focus on your up. i'm lara. baba lola, welcome. for centuries, it was water that help protect the tiny archipelago a venice against invaders. but now water itself has become the threat and 29 team via talley and city experience, the worst flooding in decades with high tide levels inundating. the lagoon is toward buildings and architectural masterpieces were damaged. smaller floods continued to hit venice of sea levels rise and the foundations of the city think
8:31 am
but this year the tide could change in venice has favor the moser project, a system of mobile floodgates that act as a barrier between the sea and the lagoon is finally complete when the tide is too high, moser is activated to stop the water from reaching the city. but keeping venice dry comes at a cost marine research or gear on these are warns, but the fund dates are only a short term solution. the 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 ground. the system is called mos at signalfx triple symbol. if we hadn't, had moses venice would have been irreparably destroyed on november 22nd or 2022. it
8:32 am
was the 2nd highest flooding history quote, but nothing happened. we were able to protect the lagoon and venice of del, provide to luna infinity. so this elizabeth to spits has already given the order to raise the barriers over 50 times, much to compare, search, see, and she's having to do with increasingly frequently. so they can say, i janetta 40 the bell curve feet the most that we now know that the most it is a flexible instrument that does not always have to be opened and nor at the same time, sec, danville, cent. today we know much more about plants and wind. so we're in a position to act again, flooding it out within 50 has the most a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea and the google scans. your easy to go for that amount and then does that mean venice can be saved? climate experts predict that the sea level could rise by 60 centimeters by the end
8:33 am
of the century. the oceanographer gate arc when the keys and says that most it is just buying time the most else. and he's most uh 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 used $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 nor will the lagoon manage it because it needs the exchange of water. did i want it? but often host, gosh, marco single vinny from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the lagoons eco system. 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 . the okay. so i meant to sort of say it could be that at some point,
8:34 am
we'll have to decide whether it makes sense to maintain the lagoon as a salt water, lagoon or noise that oversee the long closures interrupt the cycle between the seat and the lagoon, which is fundamental for venice and we're all of them, you know, it's creates the laguna floors, southerners, which determines what plants and animals can lived there. advocate, we're going to face talk decisions because they could understand the future whether to save the lagoon or the cities the nations would ideally keep both the son marco is the lowest point of venice and the 1st applied work is currently under way to raise the square the, i'm 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 centimeter with like flooding. and that over a $110.00 centimeters come and most of system would close, you may never read them. so in other words,
8:35 am
there will be no more flooding on the san marcos. he believes we need to have faith that people often forget that venice has sunk 30 centimeters in the past 150 years too much ground water has been pumped from the cities aquifers. but groundwater could also help save the city from disaster response that it's not always the water the stream pump out. this pump idea and in venice could rise by 30 centimeters again. i'm sorry, that would be the exact, the 30 centimeters that we've lost in the past. a 150 years, hold on a minute. it's coming up so we will be going back the button, the starting at 0 again, so to speak, for 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
8:36 am
a by those cannot be rescued. we have to decide what to save some vent investment. there is only one bending and it keeps not i'm in a difficult decision. one venetians hope they will never have to make is a therapy that could be a game changer in the fight against cancer. radioisotopes 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 pacing 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,
8:37 am
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. the knob, wholesale grew up, so to speak, with b r 2 and is proud of its history. let's say it's a set and the one of the most important to react though. yeah. for the the liable supply of music or we do i that the global 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 whole radioactive isotopes, it is not stable after the 66 hours off, the for us activity is gone. so we cannot stop 5. so it's very important that we have a very nice cold the nation between those 26 who react those things that are involved
8:38 am
in the robot supply of money, 99. so that's about but in germany there have already been bottlenecks and treatments have been postponed because there are only 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 bad money. 99 club dissection is sent to the us and canada. so nope, i mean we go it's the main consumer offer money. $9960.00 some $99.00 in europe is consuming 25 percent of the demons and 25 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
8:39 am
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 the game changer. there's lot of clinical trials ongoing. 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 bar because with the right combination of carrier molecule and isotope cancer cells could be directly targeted, which would spare, healthy tissue, and means far fewer side effects. even highly aggressive types of cancer could be attacked in this way. of the nuclear medicine is booming. the brand new you are bored. a institute is the hospital in belgium for cancer treatment. here radio isotopes are used for diagnosis,
8:40 am
but i've also been deployed in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, which even leaves patients radioactive for a day. after the radio isotope injection, the patient must be isolated for 24 hours. according to professor patrick solomon, after 4 injections tumor shrank, and at least a 3rd of patients who had shown no response to other treatments, not yet a cure, but life prolonging unpaid 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. i see that the patients have when they enter the disco propose, this is one of the most successful moments that you can imagine of the page that live across these kinds of machinery decide whether they rid of the treatments off efficient off or the effective or not the
8:41 am
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. but reactors are not built 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 cuban. 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 collab. chuck was recently widowed and his morning her husband's death. but you can't visit his grave because a sink hole left parts of his cemetery off limits. residents into bidding you are living in fear not knowing if the ground below them will collapse. the
8:42 am
suit into sink holes were so big that entire buildings collapsed. lose a show, but people are afraid for their lives. there are a lot of homes here. have a house like this collapses. if someone will die. yeah. like you don't make, you know, a nose way. it's still safe should be in a small city and southern poland sits up of 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, no, you have sky looks a few houses a week on john paul, the 2nd street. he lives with his wife and son, for whom the move to the country side. he's very worried. he's trying to hold back
8:43 am
into resistible force. you have done that supervisor here. i've just built 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 definitely afraid. you know. yeah, i go to bed. well, don't know what the crowns will collapse under us. the next morning club is just brought to you and you're going to see if it'll be a meet or deeper. could you tell me your budget? you're dropping it down on that data to utilize? no, that should be in your coal. mine was close 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 art was hit during the summer. dozens of grades disappeared into the sink hole . a great shock for general visa collette checked her family grief with spirits, but she can no longer visit her husband's to disposal enough time. yeah,
8:44 am
to start over there where the yellow crane is that like james stone, right at the back half the symmetry has been closed. for fears of new singles, right. it's hard. my husband died just recently. the all she has left is the food to on her food. and the hope that the graveyard will be restored soon to be near city hall is 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 tell us chia what's on the when the we're paying for the mistakes of the past? i know all of our mistakes made during the underground coal mining phase from the shops were in operation. the local consequences were forgotten or ignored of the put salvage center. then when i look at all the documents today is throwing up. i
8:45 am
believe all of this could have been foreseen who, books of egypt, a number of properties in the time have been cordoned off. people are not allowed to enter of the stay tuned. company specializes in cleaning up damage caused by the mines. holes are being bored. 70 meters into the ground. the geologists are certain that their method will prevent future singles 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 thinking in the future. and then to a gas cool thanks, will be proposed to very me we will continue doing this until we are confident that the area is safe for everyone to stay with a movie from val. budget southern is with that is our goal, and that is what we're going to achieve. the provide you types like these ones that being some kinda current everywhere and should be new and thousands of cubic meters of cement being poured to fill the cavities. the mere hopes that will help he feels
8:46 am
that it's the duty of the publish state. as long as i'm on government show me off the sure mean, and i have no intention of using the cities resources to solve the problem is something over which we had no influence on the consequences of which we are unfortunately suffering. now didn't we see me but enough for you bought it back on john paul the 2nd street. yeah, and my etzky visits, his neighbor and boy chest come out. who recently found cracks in the walls. if it's small as bar 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, this was on zillow. lucky, the way they work here is you're not sure if it's done 100 percent properly. or if the problem will come back, given you for life as
8:47 am
a little bigger. a few days later, the ground and his neighborhood caves and again here's bread from an apartment building the residence of should be near, continue to live in fear village actions, built pyramids as monuments for pharaohs, and albania, as capitol is 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 jet. well, it has since been given a new lease on life as a monument to the people. now the care of it has been transformed into a cultural hub, but not every one is a fam photos. lu vanya was imprisoned under the communist dictators regime. he sees the newly renovated pyramid as an attempt to gloss over a dark chapter in his country's history. it's gone
8:48 am
what it takes to become the new landmark about pena's capital, to run a 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 it's wonderful here and i'm usually not good at climbing, but i made it up here before that. so usually it would be great if there were an elevator up here for as old people call. 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 thought house. livonia was one of tens of thousands of political prisoners at the time. the pyramid,
8:49 am
he says with a symbol of oppression and is now a symbol of modern albania, is historical ignorance. look through these nice velvet data, you'll go up and you'll see to around all the feet. but there is no, there's a few more. and the news, i mean, i mean as a symbol of the dictators at home, the bone, your shows us what he means of the bone. his father was a functionary in the who was your machine before he fell out of favor. the whole family was forced to atone, will refuse for education and propaganda again to redeem for people and the rest of them. the assembly was a sent in deputation. livonia was a prisoner of the osha regime for 17 years. he spent most of this time doing forced labor and then a tory, a sponsored prison. this is all remaining of, uh, like for makes lights. lamps. are we used
8:50 am
in the mine, you know? spanish was like a stolen is to lock hell on earth. survival under, in human conditions, us 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. that to me by a friend the bonia is now a writer, and artist, and a critical voice in albania. and his view, the renovated pyramid is an attempt to erase the dark history of communism in albania. no one can among ven, 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
8:51 am
dutch architects in charge were always concerned with making the past visible. the most important change is found on the stairs. then the majority of things you should prep lucky so people should feel like they are incurring that they're available symbolically opposing communism. i'm using a dictatorship, excuse me, repeat the word, i wonder communities me from the the, the customers again and again, the buildings history is revealed in various places. this is all part of that 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
8:52 am
reduce. i've already done a few introductory courses that to mo, and i think i'll continue. i see my future in technology. technology and tutors also lend a helping hand in the workshop next door. a project is nearing completion and it's not about computer games. but about all bane is dark past the total cost 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 was held. perhaps they'll be news or not as oblivious to history as he fears them. 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
8:53 am
pair of the delivery on demand has a revolutionize the consumer world but this transport truck in france is like no other. with a flip of a switch, it transforms into a cinema, its 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 tippins quay drive this truck, the lar valley in central friends and all the more so when he transforms it into a sentiment with a few presses of a button, the cindy immobile can see 100 people. but running is a one man show initial fail. we drive, look after the audience sell tickets, project the films clean up all by yourself. so i'll say that you have to wear many
8:54 am
hats, but all onto the tickets. get the 1st step for the kids to watch an animated film. people here see that the move outs and amount is getting some children access to culture for the 1st time. so should invest. so it's great that the name will be in this in that way. children don't have to go into town to the course that phone is turned on for this and will bill opens up new opportunities and giving children a bit of education, an introduction to film, so to speak, to me about the heat. there are 3 sidney mobiles working across the region and showing the latest films people can go to the cinema without it being a big hassle. set down is this way. people experience a culture that they wouldn't otherwise have access to. like older people in
8:55 am
a retirement home, for example, on amazon, the type, the ticket price is also accessible. children pay for euros and adults piece a q $20.00. but the tickets don't cover the actual costs. each cynical deal is worth $1200000.00 euros for the regional president thinks it's money, well spent single, do know any more. if we only give it to people in big. so there's a gap arises and there's a feeling that there are people who have access to culture and those who don't want to do it. we don't want that to be culture has to unite people could just bring us together and i could do to our class only at a time when our societies are very fragile. 50. so one quick question is this, the name will be elizabeth more than cinema. it's also about francis identity. it's culture and society. well, that sure is 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
