8:30 pm
it leaves me, you can do better than any minutes. some of the we cons exactly say that we treat the challenge world with respect. we are constantly exploring science at every opportunity and we try to optimize them through breeding engineers like modification. the plants are extremely sensitive to external factors like noise, for example, the hello and welcome to tomorrow. today, d, w, science magazine. most people don't give enough credit. that's a mistake because these extensively simple life phones have many amazing abilities
8:31 pm
of tool for them. it's also a question of easing o. b need to around $800.00 tons. bases are kind of varies. they can catch flies and can even eat small pieces of meat and they display in much variety of different strategies for catching pray. carnivorous plants everywhere you look 36 years ago, then file kind of founded the carnivorous plant nursery in the south western town, a fine time now the largest in germany. and no one knows better than he does how the mysterious plants catch their prey. these carnivores all employed very different strategies. sorry, seni or for example, such a pitfall trap. yeah. on the plan
8:32 pm
secretes nectar year at the edge of the end year at the mouth, so to speak. next styles because she would then mcdonald and the nectar attracts the insects inside the land. last start leaking are quite enthusiastic about it. like some more and more and more then the plant i'm it's a gas on which makes the insect a little bit dizzy. must intake and so piece you in the to continue to look the nectar and, but there were a little hair. some of the tunics which are directly downwards. that means it's easy to go down, but it's not coming back up as difficult, almost impossible for the flies hinesville and cool clicked on it yet. and at some point they just fall in and are guns. but it's amazing that the behind has evolved so cleverly at 6 and bigger talk this 1 o'clock, which there are countless species of the star seeming of gina's in many different colors. these flowers even use its blossoms to catch prey. this particular strategy is that they bloom 1st, so the insects come to palm and a den boy,
8:33 pm
and then when the blossom and weather after they forms 200 feet on the insects 2 or 3 weeks later, for additional no trails veda only doubts. who is that? position now and so the common attendees, also known as tropical picture plants, use pitfall traps as well. sweet nectar on the smooth picture. rim attracts the insects which then fall into a liquid containing digestive enzymes where they drowned and are digested. some plants have even develop letters to lower amps, for example, into their deadly trap. other carnivores used so called glue traps. yes, indeed, see it? fine. so now we're here with the sun. new plant instead catches insects by attracting them to its due until the sun do refers to the adhesive droplets that glisten in the sun. now the insects then fly onto them out. they smell interesting . but once they're on it, they get stuck to the adhesive droplets. these tend to goes and push the insect to
8:34 pm
the middle of the leon, just intake out to a block. sometimes the leaf and crows around the insect, and enzymes start digesting the tract. pray on the phone to void it. so if at that one, butter word also catches small insects with a sticky, liquid unimed sleeves and the more prey it absorbs, the more it grows and blossoms. the best known carnivores, bc's is bertina, slide tribe. it closes its catching pedals around the pray originating from the us east coast. even charles darwin was fascinated with this plants. deadly snapped traps. so shy that look fine, secrete nectar, and it's travis, that's it. and there are small contact hairs inside the bend. if you can, i'm, when the flies look the nectar, they automatically activate these contact chairs, not mac, suggest the plans, the 1st time it happens,
8:35 pm
the plan registers agency in the 2nd time the plan senses that there must be something in there stealing gets nectar climb. so it snaps shut, i'm eyes that kind of ask, i don't i so very small prey like and can still climb out to see your competition name, but a fat house, why can't some of the plans and the lose least, as i said now the plan performs and analysis is what i called protein retro, not enough feed out, or is this? if not, it will open up overnight to the pray hours to spin into my hours for sheet. and if it is protein rich and then the plant begins to digest it in the stuff of household and in the prolong, some carnivorous plants are an amazing example of some of nature's most sophisticated techniques. now onto the plants that humans eat according to a study by the world economic forum, the number of people living on a plant face died is decreasing, especially in highly population countries like india and china. on the other hand,
8:36 pm
in gemini and other western countries, the number of people giving up meat is on the rise. some people explained the shift by claiming that prompt phase diet, so healthy it. but is that really true? a diet without any meat or dairy products. some with code mt. nutrition and others completely healthy. lots of people have an opinion, but if you have all the data and the nutritional scientist model is cather has been researching client base nutrition for 25 years. keller, who is vegan, says that a vegan diet is in itself neither healthy nor unhealthy. begun comes in because of thinking died can be very healthy if it's done right to die. you can also eat a very, very unhealthy vegan diet. as cost a mix died is better than a bad reading diet, but very often it's the other way around. the deacons put more thought into their
8:37 pm
food. they are better informed and to make more wholesome food choices swell. how many studies over the years have shown that too much meat, especially processed meat is bad for your health. it's also been shown that a diet containing plan based foods is healthier as universe of the hospital in band. we meet the bobby. the nutritionist is a senior physician and professor of nutrition and metabolism at the university of bound. in her daily work at the hospital, she notices time and time again. the positive effects of a vegan diet was adult while musa, very apparent in people's blood sugar levels. a woman with a much better profile is when people increase the amount of fiber they eat, their fish, the narcotics falls at all. that comes automatically when you eat a healthy vegan diet like on the or not. and you can definitely see the positive
8:38 pm
effects on collector. all levels coming to who's not had a $450.00 fee bid. click official plan. secondary compounds play an important role . they come from vegetables. fruits like you are nuts and gift plaid based fluids, their color, they have a positive effect on health, their anti inflammatory antioxidant, and could even reduce the risk of cancer. a plant based diet also provides other valuable substances. a safe, not ex fawcett, a or dietary fibers have a great a factory feast. they positively influenced the micro biome dots the whole in general. the quality of carbohydrates is much better if you eat chick peas and lagoons or nuts with valuable fatty acids on slack. fully fed to the o hayes. but what about eating a purely vegan diet?
8:39 pm
the nutrition expert is reserved in her response. there's always the risk of a nutritional deficit. especially when it comes to vitamin b 12. it's needed for cell division and blood formation. and it's pretty much only found in animal products in a strictly fagan diet. b. 12 has to be supplemented in order to avoid a deficiency. in addition to b 12, there can also be deficits in calcium and omega 3 fatty acids showing that crosby, what color is always the question of how well we absorb a nutrients within the natural. what is the bio availability of these the trans hall actions you have to be pretty knowledgeable about that? what contains, what, how do you combine fluid? and how can you prepare the meal to make iron think it's linear, more available specific bodies. what about omitting gary products? the health benefits are unclear. cottage cheese for example,
8:40 pm
often contains large quantities of fact emitting them removes an important source of nutrients like calcium and iodine. studies provide evidence of reduced bone density and begins. but in the long term of the can die, i can have a positive influence on our health, for example, by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. and there are indications that the risk of cancer might be reduced as well. for example, colon cancer, physicals and student need side of the, the fire. i mean, the big studies definitely indicates the same thing that it reduces the risk of diabetes. you know, i've seen it over and over again in cross sectional studies and in smaller cohort studies on them. and so there's a strong indication of a causal relationship, doc, i invite style stuff so so was i says, cause i interviewed with them. this is on the switch medical expert says that eating a vegan diet requires a large amount of nutritional knowledge,
8:41 pm
falls less hazel. that seems to create a quick integrating plant base foods in your diet always makes good sense of the law visual data shamefully, that law about the data. does it show that it has to be a purely beacon diet to read the benefit was like all see a note, but then you can nutrition as possible and can have a positive influence on your health. but it's not the only healthy way of eating the something that's the house even more controversial is the consumption of genetically modified crops. nearly 20 years ago, the n t much tomorrow also became the world's best genetically modified organisms to be marketed for consumption box. it didn't appeal to consumers in the us in cost because they were afraid of eating genetically modified food. it has to be pulled from the markets for the efforts to genetically optimize tomatoes,
8:42 pm
continue these to monetize lip deceptively normal. but homeless and have magical powers. they've been edited to produce victim indeed . scientist hate these plans will help to fight is very wide spread like a victim indeed. and humans, one of the world's major health problems. the research team in the you k, genetically manipulated the tomatoes with tiny genetics is, is cool, chris, but cats 9. you can see here in the future while we grow up the wall top tomato, which is not just as motto. and so our basement, each motto in parallel to the call really is how the difference within is that good thing is in tomato we didn't see any of and you loss or bruce defects for those. so i just as most clothes and it just takes like tomatoes to make these tomatoes, the scientists fuse the domestic scissors and change them. only 2 of the tomatoes
8:43 pm
already have private men. d 3, a close relative victim. indeed. prove it. 20 is actually a building block, a victim. indeed. over to men, d 3 to be exact. that's what our body needs. normally an enzyme called a worker in the tomato yourselves, would use the private to men's d to produce another molecule collateral. but the genetics is stopped the enzyme in its tracks. that means business as usual for private. mindy 3 permits men. d 3 cannot be used to build victim. indeed. ready when privates and then the 3 is hit by the sun's rays, it's magically transformed into victim. indeed 3, that's the one we need to stay healthy. the modified victim. indeed tomato plants
8:44 pm
work just like the regular relatives. that's what the result just came. the seeds which carry the genetics seem to be photo and should go on to produce more plans for the fits mindy. and then each gene edited fruit has around 2 micrograms of victim, indeed inside it, between 2 and a half. and 7 of these tomatoes daily would provide us with the amount recommended by w h of the good news is to mount as a popular. ringback in 202-1189 1000000 metric tons with produced globally mold and sugar, but not as williams, but not everybody's open to genetic deals to the food. in fact, how for the public think it's on the safe. that's what the pew research center found when they asked people in 20 countries between the years 2019 and 2020 the way the richmond d tomatoes was produced with the genetic says as though it's close to tonight. so
8:45 pm
then you might think that's what the scientists claim those mutations are called naturally equivalent. that makes, it could happen in nature. the nature of process. i think that's the beauty of searching. i just thing you don't bring any for james in the to month regina them. so they are the that is has been fixed in the some of those. you know, there's no other things can happen in those tomato lines. need to match the lines and now being tested in field trials to see if they have any growth defects. and if they haven't equipment harvest, they're also being tested on humans to see if they can absorb the victim. indeed, if they need to actually succeed, they might play a role in fighting the lack of victim and the world wide. a vigilant deficiency is a big house problem globally, and approximately 1000000 people worldwide suffers from basement the insufficiency, no measuring and developing countries,
8:46 pm
so they're not developing countries. so the problem is we have very limited food source of vision to is special investment. these re early a few foods have consequential amounts. if it's a minute the inside. for example, fish an x. the house can can also produce an amount of victim indeed itself. but i need to get some of some lights and it's hard to get sufficient amounts to determine from the source of the name. the victim indeed is vital for many body functions that helps the body of so calcium and phosphate essential for binding strength strung bones and necessary to support the weight of our employees and to move to run on surround without enough victim. indeed, phones become portal and break much more user name,
8:47 pm
deficiency and victim indeed has also been linked to a number of illnesses including depression. now the scientists type these tomatoes could help a number of people people with duck committed skating. but how problem of, of self use a be light which is essential to produces the size of richmond d, y human. so that's why they're thinking africa also um is, has a relatively high but some deficiency rates and then their population. and reset, chosen, looking at different ways to use the genetic editing technique to possibly engineers and tomatoes also existing in other so the nations crops such as pep talk to so and over again. so those of us suppose of also a post both to be audited was accumulated to the amounts of for the probate. some of these rate that's also in a walkabout carry on a moment. the tomato still need to pass clinical trials. and off to it,
8:48 pm
there's no guarantee that there's some 1000000000 people that can victim indeed would eat them. but it's a to most of succeed, the hope has fewer people would suffer from victim indeed deficiency. if i would let us read, why do you have a science question? send it to us in a video text or voice message. if we don't do it on the show, we'll send you a little surprise as the thank you. hold on just task this week, august, and comes from a how much below yellow from sierra leone. the how does no is affect plans, the,
8:49 pm
the world has been getting louder for decades. and it's not just humans and animals that suffer from the increasing noise levels. so do plans. they don't have years, but they can still receive sound. waves kinds produced messenger substances that they use to transmit sensory stimuli to their organs by a network of these things. in 6 use the same process, these beat their wings at the very specific frequencies to stimulate the release of palm and in certain plans. this evening, primrose responds to buzzing sounds. within minutes of detecting these are months, the sugar content and it's nectar increases by up to 20 percent. the studies have shown that fail grass can even distinguish between certain sounds and
8:50 pm
tones. whenever the plants sense of the predator it secreted toxins to protect itself. but the vibrations of the wind didn't trigger the defense mechanism. experiments have shown that sounds can even change the activity of genes after 5 days of continuous noise. the activity of several genes change in the sale, chris and the activity of photosynthesis decreased. the noise also affects plants by animals because it scares away birds and pollinating insect researchers in the us studies of long term consequences. over a period of 15 years. they looked at the vegetation and quiet regions in places where a noise source had been removed. and in areas that had been subjected to the
8:51 pm
constant noise of natural gas mining. before the study began, the comparison of the 3 areas showed that constant noise decreased the biodiversity of vegetation. in the loud areas, a certain pine had diminished by 75 percent. juniper trees need jays to spread their seats for reproduction. but the jays didn't return to areas after the noise source had been removed. other species had grown in place of the universe, which shows that noise can have long term effects on plants, the and now for something completely different. when lions rule, they mocking the 2 or 3. but that doesn't always make it easy to determine the location. students at the design, university of technology have developed
8:52 pm
a digital acoustic device that can locate loud animals up to 500 meters away and they tested it on housing rolls. the this sound has given us chills since the dawn of time, the wolf. how is also an important sound for the game keepers who monitor them but keeping a close watch over them around the clock is impossible. a trip to the outs where the game cheaper is out with a young entrepreneur named olivia staley. staley wants to help gain keepers monitor wolds more efficiently with the help of artificial intelligence and a special device like a wild life and box can automatically locate, will not buy their housing food. that housing the wolves can be heard for more than
8:53 pm
3 kilometers away. so we can cover large areas completely cheaply and automatically when a how it has been detected. it sends a message to the game keeper in real time, the sort to the device that's daily developed can locate a wolf. how to an accuracy of 500 meters in my mind from many animal monitoring methods require human made tools and select photo traps space for what was in particular can sometimes of lewd us exceed. they remember where the photo traps are, because they don't like the flash or the sounds they make so. so they go around the photo traps on with our method before we want to trick the woods by engaging in their methods of communication. and that way we can collect the data and both of opened on the same sol, off the some and then, and we can actually cover this whole area here on. so it could be complex at the switch. federal institute of technology and most on stanley developed
8:54 pm
a device with 3 other students. they set up 30 devices in the area for their research. noah schmidt is the company's technical manager. this is huge. this is what we call the smart mike. it's a device based on the raspberry pi, a mini computer, if they're still in the computer, it has gps and cellular reception, which is used to transmit the audio, or that i would just throw books on the bit. the sounds are sent to the servers and the audio files are converted into images. ringback artificial intelligence evaluates the images and identifies whether or not it's a wolf cell who, if a wolf is located, a game keeper gets a notification immediately. according to game keeper michael bonds at the devices could be used to prevent wolf attacks in monitor pac formation to the device could also assist with shootings through let them know the sooner they
8:55 pm
should start the pack is a special protection status to that the device it tells you where the pack is for you and you can determine if a female is woods the pack and seeing which direction they're moving. the so if you know with the pack is, you know, you have to be careful about shooting loan wolves around there. and the stream was what it was supposed to meet someone else. it's really helpful with a specific fee load. the certificate needs for staley says several swiss regions are interested in the product as, as the world wildlife fund it's use doesn't have to be limited to europe. may have to commit to submit this, make them affordable. we discovered that this works for more than just the walls. we don't pay tish, we were in south africa in the spring and tested it on elephants, the lions, and hi eunice. and it working to me a bottom being told from continue change of the artificial intelligence could make handling wild animals much easier in the future.
8:56 pm
that was it for tomorrow. and today dw science program will have more exciting stories next week. pennsylvania state curious by the
8:57 pm
inside gaza. it's been more than 100 days since the most here attacks on israel dw reporter mohammed can lose lives and works in the gaza strip. he has been documenting life there since the outbreak of the war. the humanitarian situation is catastrophic. the war and its consequences. close up in 75 minutes on d w. the
8:58 pm
words people have to say that's why we listen to every weekend on d w. but we'll tell you who we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the dream force and for the future feelings about what's going on in the story. instead of being discussed across the continent, the de leon hughes, africa every friday on d. w. so you don't feel the same way you expect and want different things from life than your parents.
8:59 pm
i just want to pursue was that's my thought was fired. or you think you kid is 2 different risk, irresponsible, unreasonable, all stuff. port is nonsense. i wonder what's the okay. is there an alternative plan? everything to prevent a divorce, but nothing worth doing because it's time if you're a sleep and we're paying for now. and then when general ration this week, d w is kind of product feels like the
9:00 pm
this is dw, do use live it from berlin. tonight, it is real, the human cost of the war in gaza. 2040 is really troops killed when a building collapse, but definitely escape for is real since the war began. the 1st victims are already being buried. also coming up tonight, the us and u. k. bunch more strikes against who's the targets in the m, and then they say they'll act again if there are more attacks on commercial shipping in the red c plus of the battle of the blockbusters as the oscar nominations line up in the pink corner is barbie star.
