site shows such a volkswagen closing centuries otherwise for us to just also show in north america . common cars are responding by giving consumers what they want. that's the latest technologies. the industry has to offer. don't 100 reports from detroit. 3 to one go. the auto industry is been on a historic role. lower availability during the pandemic, cent price is surgery. but what goes up must eventually come down. the industries heading from record sales in 2024 to an uncertain future in 2025. so the north american international auto show in detroit is turning its focus from glitzy new car introductions. in recent years to the consumer car shoppers can test out the car the year, the honda civic hybrid, the track of the year, the ford ranger and the utility vehicle of the year the vw id, buzz bus starting at a whopping $60000.00. you can find something old,

something new, something electric, and something blue. and there are new driver, pleasing technologies. we're really seeing the growth of vehicles that have screens that have taken over the dashboard. you can see it in higher end cadillacs, like the new escalade. i. q, it's really that smartphone that's in your pocket kind of showing up in larger format is now on your vehicle dashboard. we're talking screens that span from the driver door to the passenger door. these big screens blur the line when it comes to distracted driving. touch this from the driver's seat while the car is in motion, you're fine. touch this and in most countries you're breaking the law. and there are also advances in self driving technology on cars like general motors, hummer on compatible roads. gm's new super crews. hans free driver assisted technology can drive and change lanes even with a trailer attached. so what's next?

maybe a tech advanced, seen only inside the i believe. i don't know where that can happen, but we're going to see the flying cars. wow. so we'd have to build new roadways in the air. right? yeah, yeah. well, it could be a new uh, like, uh, transportation infrastructure, sofas with not just like a to do, you know, will be sweetie. if that's right, one day futuristic concept. cars like this one might not be rolling on the roof, is it all? john henry and l g 0 detroit? right, well that's it from may sort of high to, to find more information on our website. so i'll just narrow adult calm news continues. hey, on alex's, they're off to the program called the stream. the

we are to see the series of legend some clothes ruined the stories of civilizations that market history wants. this is where the story of savannah didn't have any stories to tell for the past 15 months, alongside the killing and maiming of tens of thousands of palestinians history in and around because that has been reduced to rubble by israel. and today's show we look into what war does to culture and what the future looks like when you are a collective past has been erased. and these forces in this is the street, the imagine losing irreplaceable piece of your story. a link to the very essence of who you are and where you come from. that's what's happening as cultural heritage sites around the

world are facing unprecedented threats during conflict from deliberate destruction, neglect, for example, resources. radio questions have endangered the iconic unesco world heritage sites like abided lights and fire and 11 on. and it has a the charge of said for serious a 1600 year old symbol of resilience has been a target of repeated devastating attacks. these aren't just isolated incidents. they're part of a distressing pattern of cultural a razor unesco saves that at least $200.00 sites have been destroyed in the past year. the sites that have been damaged or destroyed include the ancient saved claudio and modesty. the great muddy mosque and because this 1st seaport, the amazon harbor, we've seen this before. but looks like i still have obliterated po myra and syria and emerald and iraq targeting temples, tombs and statues all to our res,

cultural heritage, identity. when these landmarks are destroyed, it's not just physical damage. it's the suffering of a connection to our past. our stories are shared humanity, protecting these sites means preserving more than just stones and ruins. it's safe guarding the legacy of human creativity and resilience. intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science, and historic monuments. amounts to war crimes. that's not me science, but the rome statute of the international criminal court. but genocide and gaza has led many to believe international law has become little more than a concept that states aspire to with no real consequences if they don't abide by it . and we are currently witnessing a non president of level of aggression against cultural landmarks to bind people together and served as testament to our shared history. joining us to discuss the implications of this almost offer palestinian content creator and digital activist

poll mathis, a serial american offer. musician and content creator. advert cartucker on 11 east television host officer and advocate promoting our of achievements and social causes. gentlemen, thank you so much for being part of the stream today is a pleasure to have you a more when we talk about cause that we talk about hundreds of sites of historical importance that have been destroyed or damaged by israel in our chat before the show you said something that stuck with me? you said the palestinians are used to this. can i ask to how this affects cultural identity? yes, actually when i say the seniors are used to this, the main named is just the use of being a price, then they was not being given down to the compassion for the last 76 years. and actually how they are affected is actually the cost of the cleansing is bar though

. actually the browser is on a side. so when you destroyed culture, those are just sides and units go protected sides and churches. and most of this scale, you're basically cleansing the culture and the history of the head. and that affects the connection, the connection between the people and their life and the loan they, they lose the identity. this is, this is affecting the identity of the people generation. after generation after generation and it's heartbreaking, isn't it? and that's why we called you guys to join us today to speak about this connection. ricardo, you are joining us from beirut, lebanon, being israel, 2nd front, and we've seen what is doing to sites there as well. here, a village in southern lebanon, the location of a 2000 year old trying, going 1st, how does that make you feel as a lebanese, and what are the implications of damaging sites and structures such as ball,

but can tire on the lebanese people. but also what does that mean to all of us to the rest of the world? i believe i belong to a generation that has decided to do you mean the despite of the attractions we have and or degree and offers. i personally have to pursue my career somewhere else and i've decided to remain here. i live in them is not a new state and then is visited by itself. it's a boss because 1002000 years of history of family. i shared the part of these and the willingness to the meal we had to be before with different kinds of what was in lebanon, and it always made it. and the me here at the so, so it's so hot breaking to see villages for the part to see

people scheduled to see this face. people went over. it does mean that the war, but it has nothing to do. and you cannot compare it to uh my people and my friends in guess i went through uh was spending the past few weeks of the ground with people helping me loving epidemiologist. and i'm so grateful develop any useful problem of unity and their sleep directly. and we've seen parse our country disappearing the same time. we still hold the people to e mailed and told him at home. oh and, and it is so difficult, isn't it? to put into words where these places actually need to people poll. syria's recent history is populated by very painful losses of cultural heritage as well,

particularly when isis controlled large parts of the country. it destroyed sites there at a non precedent scale because we've had time now to reflect upon those particular losses. how much would you say they have been felt? do you think the world is paying enough attention to what's happening? not only obviously to people and people's lives, which is absolutely horrendous, but also to these pieces of our history. but they could always pay more attention. i know that sites, especially like all of myra and other tragic stories of destruction, of saying heritage can sometimes be ignored. but there's also attention is being paid and it's, there is work that's being done to restore it and to rebuild it. and i think the

most important thing is just to remember, like the other said, it's so important that to remember that all of this is connected to each other. it's not just seeing heritage and how that hair is connected to the rest of the world. i mean, palmyra was a trade route, it was a road that led to palestine into whether or not and so i so it's not just i've seen heritage that the world can ignore its world heritage. that kind of is part of the story of how we all came about and built our own i individual identities. mm hm . which is why i use the word our history. i'm from brazil and i definitely consider all my a part of my history as well. um, you guys have all heard of this on in gaza, who has been documenting the risk conditions for people. and she has also been doing quite a lot of work on how much the landscape has changed. take a look at this. so before the war before the 0 side used to,

so the stories of these paintings or places. um but no, the polls are filtering, useful things in these places. i'm know what is the way that one of the places that i mean basically that didn't have any readings like these. and this time being very close the time it is close to the side this historical sites. these people are also using the art in front of the building or the evenings, the charge of the solar cell, which is a some destroyed and damaged because of all the buildings. so they're hanging very close. you're sleeping there and you having some interest here and just surviving. this is how we survived amar. i wanted to ask you about who's

responsible for protecting the site. so we actually reached out to you and the school, the un, educational, scientific, and cultural organization. they declined our invitation for this episode sizing the type schedule of their experts, but sudden this on their website. wall priority is rightly given to the humanitarian situation. the protection of cultural heritage in all its forms must also be taken into account in accordance with its mandates. unesco calls on all actors involved to strictly respect international law. cultural property should not be targeted or used for military purposes, as it's considered to be civilian infrastructure. amari your thoughts on this. obviously they have a point because the priority is a mentor and situation human lives boss. if all agencies like you know, school can do is voice their concern and call for restraint,

then who is actually supposed to protect the sites? unfortunately we're the only award, so we are getting, getting this kind of a big situation and madness. and it's actually a genocide of the scale that people are saying is saying nothing doing nothing to protect the human rights that to protect the humans that are living there. so now we have extra point that there is a scales aggression that people are just saying like protect the humans just like we don't care anymore about anything yet. so it's, it's just the amount of aggression and goes up, made people think quantities of stuff, but just the stuff that, that's what people want. oh, is responsible for the size is actually the unit, the unit. so the international community, all of this should act immediately and not only calling them because going donation is not doing anything anymore. going donation is not protecting people. and

actually is there, i mean, is, is destroying every, everything. not only look not on the start sides is then shows building not understanding anymore and goes up the amount of destruction exceeded 80 percent 90 percent on guns those buildings. so the metro is doing nothing of fired from con, dummy and asking the parties to protect and per se, and is right. it is manufacturing concerns by using that from us fighters, that they are hiding under everything in order to destroy everything and to destroy the culture, to the story that history to destroy the religious sides of the city and goes on. so there must be more action, there must be more international protection for this sides as well, sort of that humans for and on that particular point of manufacturing consent,

ricardo, i want you to take a look at the split we sourced from social media. and then i'll get your reaction. let me show you how to use relevant strength infiniti parts are concerned for the destruction of val back the world heritage site. through the used to read the pdf. when you click on the, keep you to a page and file back, this pops up. and as you can see, it states that file back is a, here's the last stronghold. but if you go to the internet archive and search for previous innovations of the page, you find that that sentence is not there. so i decided to do a little bit of thinking. you're going to the thought page and we compete here. you'll find the discussions that editors have on content and check out these exchange between 2 people. one is questioning why does statement the file back is. here's the last stronghold keeps popping up. and then you have a whole back and forth in which the person who keeps having this description to the read the pd pads are involved back is facing that they have sources that show that he is a strong hold. so i'm going to look at the sources. there are 2 news pieces. one is

the rest of america. the other one is right. there's in the book states that fall back is a, his blast from cold without any justification in sources whatsoever . this is with manufacturing consent is because for the thousands of people who never heard of the vol back before and went to look at it, it would be the 1st thing that they see is it allegation that this city is a handful of spring coke and therefore it's possible for destruction. ricardo, your thoughts on what's been happening, and on this particular point of manufacturing consent, i mean, everything has become a, his ball or a mazda stronghold at this stage. can you, can you talk to us a little bit about that? i think this floor is more towards a phonetic is rather than anything else. no,

i think the we have photo colors and the 4 pillars has been damaged, not even tarnished. we lost our banking system, which was the eating while in the middle east. we had lost our point, they tried also to destroy our medical, a health care system and the education and the have not succeeded, maintain them against or offs of his for has been ongoing for, for decades and for decades. and it's so it's so sad. and we need to look more than the mountains. i think the tragedy does not stop by to box the soul of towns and cities and lies not only in their historic sites, but also the seats. you need to know what's going on to understand how the customer helps our, our community gathering at places are the also the level team,

a part of the treasures of a long life. when you look at the markets and you see where people gather of the markets, you know, i mean, the story is used to have the actor. what used to come into stories to people from one generation to another. you know, these are symbols of identity and this is something nobody can ever touch and people. and when you know these faces lost very spaces out of damage, which is over to and very often without any kind of the reason they say, you know, the, has been a while there, you know, the army, you know, is hiding there. you know, for the, for that and those days and that's just structures that affected it is our memory. it's of the collective memory i, i want to bring in paul very briefly because he said something that we, when we talked about what's happening before the show you said nation building

requires an identity. and if that identity is based on lies and you have to destroy the evidence, is that what's happening here? that's right. yeah. uh, building a national identity is a it requires somebody to put together some kind of cohesive narrative from history that serves the current national project. especially when that project is oppressive against an indigenous people, like empower spine, to reassure is an essential part of building that narrative. so, so you have to raise the longstanding evidence that directly receives the narrative you're trying to construct to justify crimes against humanity who i would like for the 3 of you to stay with us while we bring it into the conversation. phoenix gets caught co founder of now here media. felix,

thank you so much for your time. you've been using technology to preserve culture be at places that are a threat of being destroyed or that have already vanished. i'd like to know a little bit more about the work that you do. thank you. so now you media be created most of the experiences. so we breakfast virtual reality funds are meant to create it to you. and then the concepts contracts um, pick it up in culture or yeah, concerns in concert in some form or another. so that, that could be tangible. the intangible cultural heritage for for example, we have been working in ukraine during the or after the 1st conversion. and documenting different types of sites that as well as cultural practitioner spots, it's very important that and the practitioners, the culture that has nothing but what is defined by culture as also the people. it's not only the buildings, it's an important part, but also the people tend to have an idea of the, of that culture and, and

a formal and preserving it. and, and on this point, the culture is much more than monuments and buildings on the intangible parts. dance, music, and language you guys also worked on this particular project consumed. let's take a look at a short clip and then i'll get you to explain what it's all about. a little garage . i want to push it. i'm not on the left. the i'm an advisor by the by g. some of the, some of the, the no one is the yeah, no, i mean, that's one of the you don't when, when a so to one thing when i, if somebody asked me to on the particular importance

of language and intangible culture, can you talk to us a little bit more about costume to but also about the importance of working with these communities everywhere you go when you're trying to rebuild places or oral language that are important to these people. yeah. so, so nice to be our experience at the co created together this across from the community in the palm, which is in a digital community there that used to be altogether us and before us of mccaul. and they are using that language say a few of us because and this very broadly, the story of an old man who forgot his mother tongue and his grand daughter picking it up again. and we have to really work together because communicate to make this happen in order to, to adjust this to the, to the culture and become span 9 or busing between barcus and us. and it was very

clear that this would be done in the appropriate to methodology. and that's something we apply across our project. it's possible in different fonts or states and then click on the language is something that is much more than words. it's also the environments and which is spoken. obviously the context mattress and in this case such as the gather community that speech language in a very specific context. and for that, we're using a 3 d animation as well as 3 d scan, except for the run. a trace can send for the metric capture techniques in order to recreate some of these spaces and give an idea of how, how their culture and the language, the interconnected. they also built an artificial intelligence model like an auction which model in order to be able to speak so that the audience is able to speak to someone that was in the experience to move a sudden, thoughts. well, i mean, it was fascinating what technology can do, but also saved it doesn't bring these spaces in these places back. i want to talk about the future 9 for that. i want to invite them are record when pull back. i'm

are you just heard felix there in, in the potential to create something that was lost back in a way, would you say that that is an alternative? i mean, it's better than nothing. and what are the consequences for future generations? how will all of this loss affect them? it is absolutely important and actually it is very, very important to keep at least the visual if we can spend with the game or what have been strong to keep the visual of it. and so the generations can have a look at it in the future. and actually, this is something i think the effect of exposure to ration a whole a physics model for attention. it gets its just vanishing. the fraction of explosion, ration for generations to come is actually something that people like above and,

you know, for example, people to talk about the, you know, it's somehow distinguished like people talk about it, but it's the, it's not like they don't know much about it. but they didn't mention it as the talking about it. and in my opinion, that frank flush integrations is actually that loss of identity. again, the feeling of disposition is if you lose all your heritage, i mean, you don't have connection. you don't have, you don't have the identity, but still people move, move this to their children. they talk about it. they tell them, like the palestinians vargas, 75 years that have been told above the next by they have been told about what's happened, the stories, everything. and the history of the culture is being transferred to generation after generation after generation. that is being presented this way, not only by physical side. so this is another way of preserving the culture and

historic side by settings and having a digital memory. now that we have this technology, this is going to have it for sure. me pull in terms of accountability, who's to pay for the cultural losses inflicted and what would justice look like in your opinion? well, going back to town, myra. in that sense they were, they took digital scans of the site and that was how they were able to either come back and rebuild through. i believe it was a unesco initiative to try and rebuild but was lost and destroyed there. the funding for that was an international effort an international effort would have been perfect for presenting that destruction happening in the 1st place. but once the destruction is perpetrated, if nothing else the rest of the world i think should come together to try and

rebuild. since, as we said, it's just part of all of our history. so we should all make sure that we do, we can to archive rebuilds and remember and on that note we will have to end the show. unfortunately, we are out of time felix alarm, paul and ricardo. thank you so much for your time. thank you for being part of the stream today. and thank you all for tuning and keep you in touch with us online for that use a hash tag for the handle, a stream take care. and i'll see some of the 19 sixty's the significant decade across the middle east and north africa. it was the thinking when new dynamic movements for launched in the last of a 3 car series, which is 0. well, looks at the changes in society as a whole. teachers were looked after and learning methods were close,
