any new facilities designed to have a lasting impact. we have in sun, southern year territory, which is very young, but very poor. so, and we will build quite a lot of facilities that will offer you port unity for people to do sports. after the games, we build also houses for this territory because there is a big need in terms of houses. so the legacy will be when they get the useful for the population. harris game to hoping to prove it is possible to light the olympic flame without burning a hole in the public's pockets. and richardson al jazeera, tokyo. ah, i'm cavenella, go. how would the headline don't al jazeera, the telephone says it has captured a 2nd city in an intensifying campaign against the african government. the group says it took control of chevry gun, the capital of the northern province of giles john. shallow. bellis has more from

cobble. a government affiliated source has told us that sure the gun has fallen, although it is quite nuanced and fluid. the taliban say that they took control of the city on saturday afternoon. they took control of the police office, the intelligence offices, the governors compound, they even broke into the prison and released a number of prisoners. now the government says that they don't have full control of the city, that security forces remain at the port and that they are planning a counter offensive. they have started, it strikes and that they are sending in special forces and reinforcements for this counter offensive to try to take the city of should become, ty, place of fire, water, cannon, tear gas, and rubber bullets at the anti government protest is in bangkok, the crowds marched towards an army base which is home to the prime minister's residence. they want him to resign, what they say, it's a failure to handle. the pandemic wildfires burning north of the great capital have

for thousands of people to flee their homes. vast areas of pine forest, the burning fires move closer to residential areas. several people have been arrested for often in turkey, tens of thousands of heck, there is a forest, have now been destroyed by fires. at least 36000 people left their homes and the southern province of molar, whither a tourist results. the testers have gathered in the french capital to voice their anger about a covert 19 health path, which is due to come to into effect on monday. it makes it mandatory for people to present the past to access many public venue. and in the us, weekly average for new daily infections has gone above 100000. the number of people going to hospital is also rising false. vaccines are particularly bad in southern states, including florida. the headlines they'll be more news for you here on al jazeera run off to the stream, which is coming up next. talk to al jazeera,

we roam, did you want the us to take and who stopped you? we listen, you see the whole infrastructure and being totally destroyed. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on our sierra. ah, i am for me. okay, welcome to the bonus edition of the stream. now that the show is on al jazeera every day, so that a family, thanks for tuning in, coming up the ugly side of the olympics, and then we had to lebanon to k from survivors of the bay root port blast on the 1st anniversary of the tragedy let's start up here. how's your brain doing ever so why can't reach the maximum capacity? there are some research, as he believes that our brains are about as developed as they are as a guide and to be. and we have to rethink how we think the premise was the start of

a fascinating discussion inspired by id murphy, paul was new book, the extended mind, the power of thinking outside the bright. now i need help to navigate the conversations. say we bought in newer scientists, gina po, professor of psychology, dominate, packer out of core science. right, that i need murphy, paul, he, she is explaining what inspired her to write has latest book. well, so i had to send to our school aids and i got very interested in how they learn in the science of learning. and in my research and reporting on the science of learning, i started to notice a bunch of different fields that were all looking at how these outside the brain resources factor into our thinking. and then i happened to come across a journal article by 2 philosophers that propose this idea of the extended mind, which is the idea that we don't just think with our brains around we actually

extend our thinking process these out into the world with our bodies, with faces with other people and that to me, tied together a lot of the research findings that i was finding so interesting part of your research discover pizza running. oh, go ahead, gina. go ahead. i just wanted to say i see annie, that you are talking with your hands, which is for the recommendations of your book. so i haven't started adopting that to even though we're seated here, we're not taking a walk which would be even better. at least we are using our bodies and what that does to our brain is it puts it in a mode where we can learn better. actually we can we learn best through teaching. and then when we're teaching it for active, we are learning even better. our brain is in this state called the state of state, which is about $5.00 to $10.00 waves per 2nd that occur in our hippa campus,

which is our rapid learning structure in our brain, associative learning. so when we put things together, and when we move, our campus goes into the theater state, which is really best for learning. so example of a smart phone, we now all carry them around and increasingly use them not just to make phone calls and also keep track of dates. but for taking photograph and more, we walk around the world and take photographs more. we are potentially outsourcing the memories of things that we've seen and events we experience and it actually research. now on the effects that can have on your memory for events, say your turing museum and you see art. and as you walk around, instead of simply looking at the art, you take photographs of, of the art and especially your favorite pieces, how that affects your memory, then for that event. and what you find is that if people are using a phone or a camera, generally, to record the events there in some ways out sourcing the memory and the experience of the event. and it changes the way they remember it changes the way they can

later on, recollect what they saw. and the reason it does so at least in part is because as you take those photos, you're paying attention to the situation in a different way. so by using that technology and outsourcing the memory, you're also potentially outsourcing a part of the experience and thus affecting what is like in the moment. and then what do you experience later on? i have lots of huge questions for you. guess i'm going to get you to ask them pretty quickly if you can add some people are not getting quite what brain capacity means. is it possible to run out of brain space? well, you know, you brought on, peter reiner who just gave that that very interesting example a minute ago. and it was peter who introduced me to the idea that the biological brain is maybe running at full capacity at this point. meaning we are using every bit of our brain to deal with our really complicated modern world. and that the only way to transcend the limits of the biological brain which evolved to do,

you know, very different things from what we ask you to do in our modern world of symbols and abstract ideas. the only way to transcend those limit is to bring in these external we like the body like spaces, like other people. just, i mean to, to offer an example of my own. there is an interesting phenomenon known as trans active memory. whereas where, which refers to the fact that in a group you can share memory and such that each individual has access to the memory of all the people in the group we, nobody can know everything, but everybody in a group can have their own specialty. and when you know what other people know you have to what? well, yeah, and it's fascinating any how when you talk and recollect an event with your friends, they might have a very different recollection of something that you do. and that active,

recollecting together, helps you bring up that memory, and then incorporate all of your friends and recollections into your memory. and then when you re consolidate that memory, which occurs in while you sleep that next night, you reconcile. it ate their memories in with your own, and hopefully as a group, you all will remember more accurately than any one memory. jim wants to know what causes forgetfulness and how could he avoid it? occurs if 1st of all you didn't have all systems working in the 1st place when you were trying to remember. for example, when you were paying attention. so, neurotransmitter called a c to clean in your brain, helps you remember things in the 1st place and a seat calling comes on line when your brain is in that data space that i talked about before and, and when we are actively attending to something,

another thing that helps our best, remember, better in the 1st place is to tag memory with another transmitter called north and nations. and that's something we're researching in my laboratory right now. what does nora afteren do to help us time to our memories that we consolidate them? well, while we sleep and then don't forget them later. i love that show so much smarter after house thing age. now after the live episode, i almost the gas to share one practical suggestion for how we could all start thinking outside outbreak. well, sammy, i'm thinking of that picture of your office cell and we didn't focus in on what your actual death big face looks like. but i'm wondering if you have items that remind you of important things in your life. important people. because research suggests that cues of identity, you know, things that remind you of who you are or who your best self is,

and also cues of belonging, like hughes, that remind you that you belong to a meaningful group. those can really support you, give you confidence, give you a sense of we did that and even if just for a moment, you can look away from your, your screen and look at these tokens are the textures that remind you of who you are and what you're doing there and what your goals and your values are. that can be a really great way of using space to extend your mind. personalized space. make it mean something. gina? yes, i would say do what we did on this show, which is talk to experts around you. you don't always have to move. in fact, some people can't lose, but that doesn't mean their brain is going to be any more limited. if they can imagine moving, your brain does the same thing actually. and the other thing you're taken that active when something hard, i think that should have been caught in it. because a knack is, is good as

a whole night sleep or learn new i was doing near i science like taking a nap. i love it. telling me, like hardly endorsed the now idea. and i think one of the things, one of the reasons why people might feel that their brains are at capacity in the current moment is we now live in the world, especially given social media, this onslaught of information from all around the world, right? because the millions of people can feed each other fits information and some of it's true and a lot of this fall is mis information, this information. and how do you tell the difference? and in this environment, i can feel extremely overwhelming. and i think one of the things to, to note is that throughout history, as humans have developed new technologies, people have felt like that over and over again. right? so if we think about the invention of the automobile,

the beginning only rich people have cars and it's not really a problem, but eventually they spread throughout populations and it became incredibly dangerous on the road, right? people died in automobile accident all the time. over time, as groups we figure out how to cope with car makers get better designing cars. people learn how to drive better. we create a driving lesson exams. the government creates regulatory agencies to force automakers to be more so on. and in some ways we can think about information environment and that kind of way is technology. so new, it's like, we don't know how to handle it and it really is overwhelming and taxing our capacities. but over time, we'll build institutions and we'll figure out ways like we did for the car of handling from science to support and a controversial movement that's gaining momentum as view as we see the extraordinary achievements of olympic athletes and power athletes. but there is adult side of the lympics that has some activists proposing that they be abolished

on youtube. the streams audience was pretty much equally split between loving the games and thinking that they are a colossal waste of money after the lie for cost. by else the guest can be one shocking fact about the games that fans really picks. probably don't know. well, i think the, the games contract that comes as the, the kind of the devil's bargain, to be engaged with with the i o. c. in order to negotiate the hosting privileges, it's pretty shocking. there is a lot of legal permissions there that are just absolutely unseemly and seem, you know, where it gets used, waiting often these days like, or well in terms of scope and scale. especially like in japan, we saw the pulling in the population there. there were a lot of concerns about co bid. overwhelmingly, people wanted to cancel those games. and if you look and the fine print and those games agreements, not just as easy as the local government, listening to the commands of their people. and even now in l. a we see that our city council is setting up a new games agreement that calls into coordination

a bunch of federal agencies that you wouldn't necessarily think would be given. almost extraneous, like impossible powers here in los angeles like ice and all sorts of other government entities that are very popular here in los angeles. but they're already coordinating on a security detail for the 2026 world cup and the 2028 world game. and yeah, it's awful if they talked about the most gender equitable game ever because now women are 49 percent of its participants. but the executive board for the games women, me just 7 out of 35 seats less than 6 months ago before the head of the game . resigned after saying women were too emotional and that's why they shouldn't really be in the room. every time you see a package or a commercial from them about apparel and be in right, remember that becca myers were denied by the u. s. c. back by the i've seen the

decision to bring her mother as her personal care assistant with the reasoning that there was already one a single pca for 33 parallel b and 10 who are visually impaired. every time you hear the olympics problem come from a bad for to, for creating a use sports center or turning the tokyo olympic village into equitable housing. think about the displacement number. think about how if you're going back to atlanta, right, a mere 7 percent of the family displays from one of the housing areas ever got anywhere close to moving back into the neighborhood. literally for almost everything that you can see them packaging and romanticized cove. it last year you remember the olympic officials that the flame to the pic towards we're going to extinguish coven. and now watch how they're making the numbers grow in tokyo right now. that gap between their romantic view of themselves, that they are saying right for profit. and what's really happening in terms of

abuse of harm of actually exploitation. that gap is the next is the mark. if the real story of the olympic games. oh, that's giving me pause. jos. yeah, i mean, just jumping off of what dr. davis said v i o c should not be confused with some sort of pro feminist organization. they did not allow members that were women until 1981. and so the reagan era. ok, even today around a 3rd of their members or so are women, they could obviously do better. but by shocking fact, i think would be the fact that there is a study from the oxford university that found that every single olympics for which there is reliable data going back to 1960 busted its budget. in other words, is what i call extra sketch economics. whereas during the big phase, you say the games are only going to cost so many dollars. and then in reality they

cost so many more dollars. it's not just an athens thing, it's not just a real thing, it's in a lympics thing, and it's in every single games and people that are thinking about the olympics moving forward should be fully aware of that. that right there, a reality check on what goes on behind the scenes of the olympic games. this week, the 3 marks the anniversary of the bay root port blast, one year after the deadly explosion that killed more than 200 people. and in just thousands of, of us, the official investigation has barely started after the war cost. the guests were very clear about what needed to happen next. leaving what we are calling for united nations investigation. we do not have faith in the lebanese domestic investigation. we're calling about to happen now. you can go before the united nations human rights council when they sit in september. there are competing demand political prices, economic crisis in lebanon. but the victims that we want justice justice means many

different things, many different people. it can mean a criminal prosecution, it can mean compensation, it can mean finding the truth and that is what they want and that is what they deserve. and that's why we're fighting with marae, and it's been so hard to the board, but we need to support that. that's what we are pushing for. we bought a report out to that issue. what would be the most practical way forward from the survivors perspective, from families of people who perish in the bay room bloss. if you can say ok, this is pragmatic, this is what we need to do. what advice would you give the entire community is watching. i know politicians 11 a watching. what would you say? i would say 1st that and unit is should be. and i spoke, i don't know why we're talking about communities after one year. after all these

damages over over lived and people whose life where, where and totally destroyed and 2nd, i own the international community to talk to step in and to help us with an international independent investigation. so that. ringback we can achieve the justice we are looking for because i'm in lebanon, given the track record, and what's happening so far? judge be tar unknown. i don't think he can face or is, i don't know, or the pressures and over him unit is and order. and those who are trying to hide the tools are very strong

in them. thank you to the families of the victims and survivors of the pe route blast. he contributed to the stream to find out more about a route search for answers. watch the full report with correspondent data hotter, now, streaming at audi 0 dot com. and finally, i want to leave you with an urgent issue that really isn't getting enough attention . in southern madagascar, almost half a 1000000 people on the brink of famine. all because of climate change, creating endless droughts, making farming impossible. there is no food. people are eating insects. after the bull cast, i asked, i guess, to make a pitch to the international community to get them to help the people of madagascar . so there are 2 parts to this for me, i think it's saving lives now. we have 500000 children who are the risk of dying. if we do nothing to me,

i think we need to bring that to the front and emphasize that strongly. we don't know, 500000 children. actually we will be able to reach about 30 percent compatibility to do more additional funding. what is the value of life that is already lost? so we need to make sure we're clear about that and talk more about that. and then begin to talk about what we need to do when that child. so bars. what are we going to do to mission the child can then be able to read well. so the she or she can live up to the potential that he or she has been given shall it not every day that we get a chance to talk about the work of the food program in southern madagascar, what do we need to know to get people to ask, because without the wells help and those pictures that we saw of, of children suffering, they're going to get was the whole room is,

is just when you see children who are just skin and bones amount to the people. and it is, it's our job to support the government and the people have met a gasket that use the women. so the, in the short term, it's about getting food. it's about, be able to make sure that nobody goes hungry. there's an expression in my legacy carry empty stomach, can people say to you kind of to time to time in the south? empty stomach, empty. some that's not acceptable. having money means that we can, number one, get food to people. number 2, we need to build long term programs. so when we talk about drought, let's find a solution that build that infrastructure. what irrigation harvesting, think about innovation? think about what it means. we don't want to have this conversation many in 12 months time. we don't want to be in the same situation where the numbers are

getting drastically larger, the children are losing their childhood. and basically, you know, the hopeful people might get going to be a lot more positive and can be more positive with the supportive of people just taking a bit deeper, giving them money, making sure that we have to really say, so let me ask a question. i'm going to do it because this is really important. we're going to be very candid with each other. i want to bring in hand to renewal row and hampton row talks about where we are with the hunger situation in southern madagascar. and sometimes it can be quite confusing if we're on the break of famine. why is that food in the shops? this is what she addresses have a look covenants and what i seen in the staff of mac jashka is that service food on food stores in market. however,

most people cannot afford food because it's not have any money. they usually get their income from farm in capital region from charco reset in and basically traditional very low income sources say, i think that's what the government has to do is that you have to make sure that those people have enough income to be resilient through the tort said south, surely, how do we have an entire half an hour conversation without mentioning the government of madagascar? will you try being lightly told you guys asked the government has a huge role to play after the oversee the entire country. and in this case, the reason why the name haven't shown are more because it's not a typical situation where the economy system in that country has collapsed. right.

and it's not conflict within it. and this is where we've all, we are linking into the climate change, which is bigger that even the government, but they have a role to play. so it's about us working with a document to look at examples where it has worked. there are many child route, which is your, i'll tell fake i want to, i want to the pressure point on the government amount of gasket if you will, people suffering. what is the government doing? shelly? i know this is very awkward for you, but i'm often anyway, go ahead. so i was, i was we say to beasley, i'm with him done on my mission and we were with the ministry of warfare never culture. and they actually committed no doubt about it in terms of what needs to get done, but you need money by you need money. these are not cheap projects to do, and these are long term projects. we also work the government to madagascar on amazing school feeding products. we don't have an school feeding programs,

we have enough money to scale that up. and i'm sorry to go back to it. but you know, the money is essentially comes of funding and resources and to the lady that just spoke in the clip. unfortunately, and sadly, when you do see food out there on a perhaps a small us map and people who, who are plumber has to get more to selling that utensils just to just to be able to buy whatever edible they can, you know, they may not even have defined would still and config, unfortunately has just affected the entire world as well as madagascar. so job a scam, likely food prices, the right things such aside reality. but i think, you know, we can just pick up some of them actually genuine, can see for helping people. and i think we can make a difference. can we make

a difference? i have. so that is i show for today. thanks for watching. see you next time north korea isolated and heavily sanction yet earning billions around the globe bureau, 39 is involved in everything that makes money for, for you to carry a different passport saying contest the money this year. and it goes straight into the coffers of leadership, a to park, people empower investigation, bureau, 39 cache for kim park, one on a jazzy into the crime that shook japan, or people get killed on one occasion in as bloody a massacre. as this was, attracts a lot of report, there was just a current drum. who did it, who did it? who did it? have the conviction that led to the world's longest hell,

the throw prisoner and his sisters, 47 year long battle to save him from execution. witness. how come adam? japan's death row on a jazzy into me each and every one of us have got a responsibility to change our patients for the better or we could do this experiment many of us could increase just a little bit that wouldn't be worth doing. anybody had any idea that it would become a magnet, is incredibly rough. asking women to get 50 percent representation in the constituent assembly here and getting this pick up to collect the segregate, to say the reason this is extremely important. service that they provide to the city we are we need to take america to try to bring people

together trying to deal with people who've been left behind. me. oh, this is al jazeera. ah, hello and welcome. i'm pete adobe. you are watching the news live from coming up in the next 60 minutes. the taliban says it's captured another afghan provincial capital is government forces fight defensive battles across the country. the protest across runs against the corona.
