rebel group in the lead after a string of bombings at the weekend that left seven policemen dead the worst in bahrain killed five officers and injured more than forty others talks have been going on since february to try to end five decades of violence but the president santos now says his patience is exhausted. eleven afghan soldiers have been killed in an attack on a military academy in kabul i still says it was behind the attack fighting lasted for hours after at least five men attacked the academy in the early hours of the morning they army says two of them were shot dead and two others blew themselves up and people smugglers are targeting range of muslims who fled to bangladesh from myanmar al jazeera spoken to form a smugglers who say the prize for go in the refugee camps is around sixty dollars even if their rescue they often can't return to their families as they don't have passports rights groups say the situation is getting worse with the recent influx

of more than six hundred eighty thousand range of refugees to the camps fleeing the violence in myanmar war in our top stories coming up from doha in twenty five minutes time that's it for myself from the team in london. you stand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the way. al-jazeera. digital technology companies and it's interesting these mind games and in an on going. even in teaching idioms and calculations you know ok it seems a discovery mention. in which everything in our lives he trains. and intended. that is convenient for profit and surveillance he only

needs these new power. things that will be an easy task it works to challenge the tech giants. and enable a different technological future to one rep people not a part of. the. home that has all along i mean. the problem with this but it seems that sometimes i don't really adjust to the local target zone but i just got a random times on which is halfway between when i was in the area. trying. to slow the news or it was

a very young goes off because of it. in the way that the day that you thought it was sort speech ok ok going to the store ok. and i will do it when. i was with these guys really he crossed me good you know this. really is all. they have all the numbers or people know that matthew's reality is we know us you won't get. to be friends we stopped in peace protocol without who you know which is especially the ox's to being able to build we didn't tommies we don't really having to go to five years degree the atomics. i'm going to show you how to melt and electronic

silence that basically the first thing you need is an arduino microcontroller and indeed there do we know code which essentially it's a it's a computer inside one single chip doesn't have a screen doesn't have a model but it can build things with some so it's. one of the ever leave communities that jumps on all musicians illegal source of music old interfaces for computers then there was a lot of interactive installations of the baltics. people start to use a little built the first open source drill. then it was the first open source three d. printer. people said to go and see a look at this project for it's great i like you do you still use the do you know what he's of do you know. you guys were just an enormous intestine nor you have what looks like a whole bunch of little tiny boards they're mostly arduino microcontrollers so what arduino is is

a open source hardware that you can use to write software that interacts with the real world when you're holding your hand as an arduino mega it's the it's of the big one right now that i have this little chips that are microcontrollers. beat me is a typical computer you will find for example in the microwave over simple terrible stuff so i started using that we realized that a lot of software and hardware was a baby with an open source license we want to something that you could build yourself if you wanted to it would be to make it cheap you need to cost like a pizza so i stuff to develop what became of the wheel. what happened is that at the same time that we start to become a little bit where norm the maker movement started to. come down to zero already the very man right now three. pieces that make a fair shed and we are writing to me this is making the robot which is that

kind of symbol of maker faire not even in california to have it so big. as. the maker faire is an event that was started about ten years ago as a way to get the makers to get together and show what they were doing showing projects. what are you working on and this is the equator i thought it was. all right. liquid identifying yes well why not a feel for wall street on a video on a quality i only count on your device. that's pretty cool that project is quite interesting they could make that souls mold or you can put it in. a regular glosson you know you can use it for a lot of different that's an interesting project so basically we made which of the

any good lot of these one is like the kids can change the drawing on the fly and you get respected here for a very nice course and that life we hope will be you hasn't it. i mean the bigger picture from the bonnet and send it over here and we know then and with painted on the. like you know only engineer for children. do that if the film school. i. was. maybe. the software. gets downloaded but once again i.

think. what's happening right now is very simple. technology is pervading every aspect of that life. at the moment that he's this perception that the can all just something you buy what's on the shelf but you know wait if you look at the supermarket and it would only be pre-cooked food and you wouldn't be able to buy some fresh programs to cool then you would find that the world was not a free world you know you would have why what i thought to get canned soup only when in technology in a way you know you go to a shop and yes twenty five different types of tablets but effective they're all doing the same thing so what if you decide that you want to do a different topic though you don't want to do something else then you need to be able to sit down and think about it and maybe build a different one. i

think. you what is this is in for a sensor infrared sensor that is wire isn't. in my undergraduate education that i i learned like a postman and i figured out that doing things with commercial is not fun actually i got the idea of the maker when they had english in bellini and i was no more that. right no they made the woman in china but the interesting. ok oh. my god. that was. a big party and there is one requirement you have to have that object that you never blame. me for that i like and so it's really for about money yes but i think over something else when i stopped off as a kid i was very interested in understanding go to school one christmas my parents

gave me as a present this kid who was a kid to learn about electronics he could build a circuit so if you make seven you would just think this thing just put together the disk you plug in on. you put your phone and and suddenly you hear voices you're like wow i just be the radio so those are very important for me because you want to stand at the chronology is not as complicated as you think it is. nice color. but this is where you run your own let's say i want to build something that tells me when i got too much sun time you know i'm at the seaside and i have to be careful otherwise i beg i could take a bus is a little component because there might be this other component. which is a light sensor. so constantly. when the month of life. and then you put.

every hour. take over. so we said to people who want to build a porch the first thing you do open one of our examples so you just have to copy. in a different way i don't know why. so you start to create the connection between what you see on the screen what's happening in the real world.

but the only way to. build stuff. that project that it takes like a stupid project comes from another project or somebody and they become that became that. impression that these two other people made back.

to dr particular to see people that he's actually step number five of twenty five and at the end of the line there may be a very relevant thing that comes out of that. a hydrogen explosion has occurred at unit three of japan's stricken pookie shima daiichi nuclear plant. and japanese authorities have ordered people within a twelve mile radius of the plant to remain inside more than one hundred eighty thousand people have been evacuated from the area. this is the hotel you can feel this is to be hoped though that people who they used to live here they cannot come back here anymore because all of the. new

korea occident in words are very unclear but the the information. radiation contamination was we can the see if we can this made it we can offer you anything i didn't seeing the government is hiding anything i saw the government just cannot do cannot control the situation betty will because he was very quite chaotic. i just sold if i have this energy i ship you know something something something for others. i miss hunt that's how i start in building sift guessed. the outside these high right now the whole point seems to have been inside

a bottle legacy about. her experience i don't see this number so. the box on the other there and the receiver that's sitting here is one of our third generation a guy and he says it has a geiger counter and a g.p.s. receiver and it was in every five seconds location. time and now the radiation levels everywhere i go and it's creating a data point every five seconds along this road which will upload our maps and be able to see the radiation levels around us and. there was no question we'd use any but we know from the very first. when the government tried to put out the information they basically said it was no problem in fukushima and there clearly was people didn't know what to believe.

and we have here and we do work that there's older country from the girder countered and communicates with the p.c. to give through the radiation level. through to know that we were desperate to get the data on the maps we had to act quickly if we got seventy five percent reliable data right away that was way better than one hundred percent reliable data two years too late and. we got something working draft of a human. big i. read approved we have some strong rains outside. what are we measuring here right now sue's debut thirty six now so it has since moved to thirty six so we see very consistent there reducing numbers coming. out of this these meetings with the plane with the dean of the comics for a certain amount of coffee and they wouldn't have been able to wake up one day and build a network called network connected the geiger counters in the space of these

a community needed them and they were ready. so it's. all still rooting for him not in the ditch we call these radiation droids because it kind of looks like r two d two so from star wars and these are these are the ones that started appearing but a year after jack all around fukushima it just was you know this is a japan this is the new one. where the problem is is that the government doesn't say anything about them we found them by just coming across them so somebody putting in sensors there's no signs on who owns them or who installed them or how they work or where you can find the data online alians could have dropped this here. or is it one point zero. sorry six

but anyway one point zero micro see about prove every compared to four years of all the number has been decreased about that's because half life of cesium one city one thirty four one hundred seventy s. . the health effects of the stress of the incentives for katrina are having a very sizeable impact on the people up there you know it doesn't matter if the fear you have is based on something real and rational or irrational it's still a stress in people have a right to be told what's going on. i also have guess i'm thinking this is like. the dog in my pockets at the dinner. looks like it. needs to. stay.

in but. because of the carbon i do to haul the cook on a day there's sort of are. also many more that's not good money month i'm in need. in on the list get it the more this is to do this last night made me well here. i still have the on. please holiday to get mother get it up there one for me. so that my note thank the good luck up on the. med they meet there so they got the middle of the mess and i look at the little cottage by the skew the moment many and i'm on the. this i would consider this number two point one zero point one five point one eight

to be the reading for this position. this is you know since their data susie had it then they had to the mother didn't discover more on the second i know he came to the much greek. hall. you know much of the quite a bit of this and the mcconnell had limited. but not that it's the last one must read them but i quite quite. so you could pick up a couple. at the cinema consume cartons get it all as you would i go to the wanted enough across really not that. i get an amazing feeling when i come across these kind of promotions.

this is something that nobody could ever. when you make something they can appreciate you don't think oh yeah one day somebody will probably use it to outsource radiation. but the fact that you've created tools that enable people to do that gives you hope on the fact that there will be other situations where we can build something knowledge which is independently created and will help us in other situations like this. there is no safe level of radiation more radiation you get the more risk you have of it causing some kind of disease. people in korea or new hamas or those places if the radiation were to stay stable thruster life would probably increase their lifetime rate of cancer by half percent doesn't sound like a lot when half a percent of one hundred thousand people get cancer what's that five hundred people

so from an individual respond of you it might be manageable from a free society point of view it's serious. but then if i'm going to think about us going i think. oh hey hey mike. safe cast is deploying a new network of sensors in the occasions so we're going to put sensors that are instead of being on a car they're going to be on a building and they'll measure twenty four hours a day. some people say it's. their radiation it's gone already and they don't want to talk about it anymore and they should learn more about the specific information and are using million dependent data in its own data and know they're there. now that one.

i don't know it's not that i know. thats it. it's on. its i don't know i don't consider is his get it on the level of the toaster to space shuttle it's a lot closer to a toaster and one sensor you know provide some data but it's going to be the network and then the string of data that comes from this and other ones that's going to have a have a big picture so you know it's one small piece of a very big network. the most recent reading is twenty c.p.m. seven and. we started from almost nothing to barely workable system you know we can within a month we had something that was pretty good within three months we had something that was world class within a year we were the largest open data database on radiation information anywhere.

because the community now is not just that some of the people to realize that he's now one of them to be me so they're trying to kind of cash into this thing but they don't understand that by doing this they might make some money now but then they would in the community which is your blood easier you know what keeps you up. there were different moments that i could have given up but i believe you can build the business makes you more money than you would ever need in your life and yet you create something which is a lasting value for many more. i'm going to fight the legal battle but in the saying i want to work with my friends who believe in what i do.

every allies that i spent the last ten years basically almost like putting money into a lot of bank accounts that are not made of money that are made of repetition that are made of respect that are made of love and now that this thing is happening to me i'm basically going out and everybody's basically giving me back. old the love i give them we've interests. i don't want to live in a world where everything around me is designed in california and made in china by somebody just make stuff because otherwise they will drive the choices we make and when they will drive their way we will be created the only way to be subversive enough for fish nowadays is to be able to control the technology in a way that you can propose an alternative. i also like the spirit that because you have makers that you're nothing about making mistakes in the way

a screwed up that is progress that's how you keep going keep going keep going. we never know when the next one happens if that happens anywhere else you know what all of these people can help write of it we know how to do. one of the really special things about working proud is here is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be very challenging in the body but the good because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real stories just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. we have your zip data

we know the products of providing everything that you're doing that's really where the power of the all powerful internet is both a tool for democracy and the threat do you believe that any of your companies have a down to fight the full scope of russian active measures on your platform in the echo chamber world of fake news and cyberspace the rules of the game of change there are no precedents people in power investigates this information and democracy at this time. they're the children of jailed chinese criminals with nowhere else to go one beijing shelter is giving them a home when he meets the children growing up with their parents behind bars at this time on al-jazeera february on al-jazeera south korea has the twenty eighteen winter olympics camera records be broken al-jazeera will bring you the latest from
