3:30 am
a mess, things up. we're seeing brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking. watching our new to v w documentary the, this is focus on europe. i'm lara 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 and the foundations of the city think but this year the tide could
3:31 am
change in venice as favor the most of project system of mobile floodgates that act as a barrier between the sea and the lagoon is finally complete. when the tide is too high, most of it is activated to stop the water from reaching the city. but keeping venice dry comes at a cost marine research or d, or only use or warrant that the floodgates 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 laguna. the system is called most signal triple symbol. if we hadn't had mos, the dentist would have been irreparably destroyed. on november 22nd of 2022. it was
3:32 am
the 2nd highest flood in history, but nothing happened. we were able to protect the lagoon and venice of del, provide luna infinity, so or elizabeth to spits has already given the order to raise the barriers over 50 times that much to compare, search, see, and she's having to do with increasingly frequently. so think about jeanette authority on the most that we now know that most it is a flexible instrument that does not always have to be opened and nor at the same time, sec danville. so today we know much more about black and wind. so we're in a position to act again for flooding that out within 50 has the most a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea. the goons come green, did he go for somebody that does that mean venice can be saved. climate experts predict that the sea level could rise by 60 centimeters by the end
3:33 am
of the century. the oceanographer garrick when the keys and says that most it is just buying time the most house and he's most the enough to see fence 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. because once a day 1st i mean it wouldn't manage shop that moves. it won't be able to cool as a structure, but norah will the like, couldn't manage it because it needs the exchange of water. uh, did i won't it, but often i was, gosh, marco single vinny from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the lagoons ecosystem. he says the frequency with which most 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. so that means that the okay, send me to service. it could be that at some point,
3:34 am
we'll have to decide whether it makes sense to maintain the 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, it's what creates the lagoon floor southerners, which determines what plants and animals can live there. advocate. we're going to face the talk decisions because they could understand the future whether to save the lagoon or the city venetians would ideally keep both the son 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 centimeter with like flooding. and that over a $110.00 centimeters come and most of system would close. so in other words,
3:35 am
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 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 that's being pumped out. this pump by the end 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
3:36 am
a bite of those cannot be rescued. we have to decide what to save some vent investment. there is only one benefit, it keeps no, i'm in a difficult decision. one venetians hope they will never have to make it's 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 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 a for many germans, it's an intimidating sight. the dome of a nuclear reactor,
3:37 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 also grew up, so to speak, with 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 of music or we do eyes at the grill, but he lifted him. 99 or molly 99 for short is the name of the coveted isotope that enables ultra precise diagnoses of cancer and the task disease for up to 40000000 patients worldwide. but like whole radioactive isotopes, it is not stable up to 66 hours call 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 dose in fact involve it in
3:38 am
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 morning, 9960 some 99 in europe is consuming 25 percent of the events 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
3:39 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 eye back 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 as di, hospital in belgium for cancer treatment. here radio isotopes are used for diagnosis,
3:40 am
but have 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, 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 to see that the patients have when they enter disco football. this is one of the most successful moments that you can imagine of the face 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
3:41 am
medicine have increased the demand for isotopes and with that increased pressure on the few reactors, the e 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 and 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 d commission decades ago going away so i can 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
3:42 am
student to sink holes were so big that entire buildings collapsed is a show, but people are afraid for their lives. there are a lot of homes here. have a house like this collapses. someone will die. park yeah. fact 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
3:43 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 gives you all that done 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 grieves 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,
3:44 am
to start over there were the yellow crane is that like drive the 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 a city hall isn't 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 of the mistakes made during the underground coal mining phase before when the shops were in operation, the consequences were forgotten or ignored of the salvage center. then when i look at all the documents today,
3:45 am
it is probably not. i 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 to thinking in the future. and then to get school thanks will be for us to very mean we will continue doing this until we are confident that the area is safe for everyone to stay with. it will be some val, budget 7 is with that is our goal. and that is what we're going to achieve. i need the provide you types like these ones that being some kinda current everywhere and should be new and thousands of cubic meters of cement to being poor,
3:46 am
to fill the cavities. the mere hopes that 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, and i have no intention of using the cities resources to solve the problem is up and 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 and the walls of his small was 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 of this was the like, 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 given you for life as a little bigger,
3:47 am
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, continue to live in fear fit junctions, built pyramids as monuments for pharaohs, and albania, as capitol 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.
3:48 am
what it takes to become the new landmark about being is capital to run on the pyramid at the heart of the city of 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 it would be great if there were an elevator up here for as 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 last over 40 years thought house. livonia was one of tens of thousands of political prisoners at the time to the pyramid. he
3:49 am
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 run out of it. but there is not just a few more and the new, 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 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 the tories spots prison. this is all remaining of uh like for make light lamps far we use it
3:50 am
in the mine, you know spanish was like a stolen is to lock hell on earth. survival under in human conditions. almost all books were strictly forbidden, apart from dictionaries which livonia used to hide. something that would later make him 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
3:51 am
dutch architects in charge were always concerned with making the past visible. the most important change is found on the stairs. and the majority of things you should prep lucky so people should feel like they are incurring the terrible symbolically opposing communism. i'm using a dictatorship excuse me for thought. i wonder when, when he's me from the a couple words again and again the buildings history is revealed in various places. this is that's all part of it's only painted and it's so rough for the to, to show that he's 30 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
3:52 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 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 fall. first, we're going to sponsor a project about of all things the prison where fontose livonia was held. perhaps he'll be news or not is oblivious to history as he fears it's important for understanding how was it, how it was created and this evil and how we suffer through so much because of this evil. how, in order not to repeat something they seem to be working on in the new
3:53 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. 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 ship and ski drive this truck to another bar valley in central friends an older more so when he transforms it into a cinema with a few presses of a button. the same appeal can see 100 people. the running is a one man show initial fail. we dr. look after the audience sell tickets, project the films clean up all by yourself. i will say that you have to wear many
3:54 am
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 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 file. and 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 some cnn will be used working across the region and showing the latest filters. 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
3:55 am
a retirement home. for example, when i'm using the website, the ticket price is also accessible. children pay for euros and adults p $6.00 us 20. but the tickets don't cover the actual cost. each 10 immobile is worth 1200000 euros for the regional president thinks it's money. well spent. single do not really cool. if we only give it to people in big size gap arises and there's a feeling that there are people who have access to culture and those who don't see why that could do it. we don't want that to be. culture has to unite people could just bring us together and i could do to across 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,
