then, like it took you equivalent fireworks for the close to the proceedings, a very different games to tokyo, but where the taking part was just as important as winning a metal pool. brennan, i'll jazeera, ah, this is al jazeera, and these on the headlines, the afghans halliburton has claimed control of 3 provincial capitals on sunday. they say they are taken to the con, sorry, pole and condos. so hell shaheen this the taliban international media spokesman. he says they want peace, but government aggression has forced them to fight. our response is clear. we want a peaceful solution of the issue that we are we rated on being for the last one year. but unfortunately,

you may have seen that the, the head of the company administration fee that he announced military strategy for 3 months in 6 months. and after that they started ban bangor, cities, hospitals, clinics, schools of at least 4 huge far as they're burning. i would say control increase thousands of flight villages, north of athens, rain and turkey has brought some relief to far fighters battling blazes there. but at least 6 forces still raging. tens of thousands fled their homes. one of russia's most prominence opposition figures has reportedly fled the country near both civil is a course ally of jailed kremlin critic alexi. nev only russian media report say she flew to turkey on saturday on cheese. they judged place her on

a curfew funding her from leaving home at nights and attendant public events. she'd been found guilty of inciting people to break cove with 19 rules after an opposition protest charges. she says aren't politically motivated. elevations living in exile in ukraine of hounds, a memorial for an activist who died under suspicious circumstances. they rallied outside the bell of russian embassy to remember the tale she shelf found. hanged in a park in q on tuesday. the police have opens a murder investigation. she shelf ran an organization which helps people flew in bella roots and the races presidents has waged avant cracked so on his opponents since winning the last year's disputed election. and those are the headlines space. they were this here on al jazeera and use continues after the stream, which is a packs. a secret agent claimed by both israel and egypt. well,

any case officer who receives potential or double edged will always assume the worst truth or lied, fact or fiction. most of the documents or 40 people of either of those under ups out there will tell the story of the man of many secrets. i shift my one death to the super spy on al jazeera. 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 maximum capacity? there are some research, as he believes that our brains are about as developed as they are as a guide 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 murphy, paul. hey, she is explaining what inspired her to write has latest book. well, so i had to send to our school aids and i 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 happen 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 the, the, out into the world with our bodies with faces with other people and that to me, tied together a lot of the research finding that i was finding so interesting part of your research. you discover piece of running. oh, go go ahead. gina. go ahead. i just wanted to say i see annie, that you are talking with your hands, which is 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 smartphone, 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 that 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 event 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 bus effecting 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. 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 rider 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's the only way to transcend the limits of the biological brain which evolved to do, you know, very different things from what we ask it to do in our modern world of symbols and abstract ideas. the only way to transcend those limit is to bring in these external re says like the body like spaces, like other people just, i mean to, to offer an example of my own. there's 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. 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 acetylcholine in your brain helps you remember things in

the 1st place. and the seattle 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 an essence, 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 was very, i'm thinking of that picture of your office cell and we didn't focus in on what your actual desk 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 supports 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 taking 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 nearer i science like taking a nap. i love it. telephonic 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? potentially millions of people can feed each other bits of information and some of it's true and a lot of this fall is missed information and 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 threat 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 top. car makers get better designing cars . people learn how to drive better. we create driving lessons and exams. the government creates regulatory agencies to force automakers to be more safe, so on and in some ways we can think about our information environment and not kind of way is this technology so new? it's like we don't know how to handle it and it really is overwhelming. it's taxing our capacities, but over time will 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 viewers,

we see the extraordinary achievements of olympic athletes and power athletes. but there is adult side of the lympics that a, 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 life will 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, the cities engage 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 are a lot of concerns about co bid. overwhelmingly people want 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 security detail for the 2026 world cup and the 2028 world game. and yeah, it's marvel, 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 was denied by the u. s. c. backed by the aisles in the decision to bring her mother as her personal care assistant. with the reasoning that there was already one a single pca for $33.00 peril and be in 10 who are visually impaired. every time you hear the olympics pack them up from a bad for to, for creating a use sports center or turning the tokyo olympic village into equitable housing. think about those displacement numbers. 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 romanticize cove, it last year. you remember the olympic officials said the flame to the olympic torch. 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, they are saying right, for profit. and what's really happening in terms of abuse of harm of actually exploitation. that gap is the that 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 mark universe, 3 of the bay root port blast, one year after the deadly explosion that killed more than 200 people. and in just thousands 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 and families of people who perish in the bay room block? if you will, 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 in unit is should be stuck. i don't know

why we're talking about him unit is after one year. after all these damages over over lives and people whose life where, where totally destroyed and a 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 known. 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 choice are very strong in them. thank you to the families of the victims and survivors with the pay route blast. he contributed to the stream. to find out more about beirut. search for answers, watch the full report with correspondence. dana harder now. streaming at al jazeera 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 are on the brink of famine or because of climate change, creating endless drought making farming impossible. there is no food. people are eating insects. after the bull costs i asked, i guess, to make a page to the international community to get them to help the people of madagascar . so there are 2 parts to,

to see me. i think it is saving lives. now. we have 500000 children who do risk die and we do nothing. i think we need to bring that to the front and emphasize that strongly. we don't know, 500000 children actually will be able to reach about 30 percent comparability to do more. and there's no 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 survives. 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 weld helping those pictures that we saw of,

of children suffering, they're going to get worse. the whole room is, is just, you know, when you see children who are just skin and bones and elderly people and it is, it's our job to support the government and the people have metal gasket that use the women to the, in the short term. it's about getting food, it's about being able to make sure that nobody goes hungry. there's an expression in malagasy kerry, empty stomach, can people say to you kind of the time to time in the empty stomach? empty, some not acceptable. having money means that we can number one, get through 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, water irrigation harvesting,

think about innovation. think about what it means. we don't want to have this conversation any 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 at my desk and to be a lot more positive and can be more positive with the supportive of people just taking a bit deeper, giving some money, making sure that we have the right to really say for me off the 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 re no row and hand to narrow 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 cover this and what i've seen in the south metro. jessica 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 the income from farm in capital region from charco reset in and basically traditional very low income sources. so i think that what the government has to do is that we have to make sure that those people have enough income to be resilient through the tort. sir tells 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 than 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 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? surely 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 it, perhaps the small us will math and people who, who are climate has to get more to selling that utensils just to just to be able to buy whatever they can, you know, they may not even have to find would still uncomfort, 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 me. ah, ah ah gotcha one of the fastest growing nations in the way i want a car needed to open and develop it back into national shipping company to become a team, middle east, and trade and money skilfully in the 3 key areas up to about
