and americans love their trucks. but pickup trucks are gas, guzzlers, and you would you do the honors. this one comes with the added luxury of extra cargo space for the engine would be in a gas powered car. but each of these are facing major head winds. as the industry moves forward. prices may be coming down and mileage range is growing longer. but ease like this $60000.00 electric vw id, buzz bus are still generally pricier than gas cars. in the us, incoming president, donald trump, plants to cut back on the tax breaks till a mandate. the 2 thirds of like vehicles be electric by 2032 and res terrace, threatening a global trade war. the uncertainty we were talking about in terms of terrace, in terms of subsidies around heaves, make. the outlook for this here kind of a known especially as prices remain high. and then there's the lack of charging

stations in the us and europe over 1000 miles. i need to wire about what can i charge of you. right? so that's where we start to me sort of keep. if the charge of such as air, the people will be moving into bar the bees compared to, you know, the regular vehicles that while i toyota, his double down on hybrid gas and electric cars looking for it's 40 green car and red. now, ferrari has plugin hybrids. as the auto industry inevitably goes increasingly, electric, car makers are hoping the next generation plugs in to a beats john henry and l g 0 detroit. that's it for me. the news continues here an out 0 off to the stream. stay with us, the, on counting the cost serious, the leaders have inherited an economy in ruins of can they rebuild the nation.

ukraine has turned off the types of rushes gas flows to europe, but who does the decision us? plus the sales of foreign smartphones of drunk file was tough in china. counting the cost on, on to 0. 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 collective past has been erased. and these forces, and this is the strength to 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. randy. the questions have endangered the iconic unesco world heritage sites like abided but entire and 11 on and it has the church just said for serious a 1600 year old symbol of resilience has been a targets 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 sites have been destroyed in the past year. besides the that have been damaged or destroyed? include the ancient saved claudio and modesty. the great how much the mosque and because this 1st c port, the app is in harbor. we've seen this before, but it's like i still have obliterated 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 the physical damage, it's the suffering of a connection to our past. our stories are shared humanity, protecting the sites,

means preserving more than just stones and ruins. it's safeguarding 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 general southern 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 culturally cleansing is bar, don't actually like browsers 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 the new state and then is visited by itself. it's a boss because 1002000 years of history of family. i shared the positives 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 mean 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 need a terrible war,

but it has nothing to do. and you cannot compare it to uh my people and my friends in gas 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 part of our country disappearing the same time. we still hold the people to rebuild and to me at home. oh and, and it is so difficult, isn't it? to put into words where these places actually need to people, poll. serious 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 that's 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 here 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 buildings or places um but no,

the polls are filtering in these properties in these places. no one is the right. that's one of the places that places that didn't have any readings like these. and this time being very close the time it is close to the side this historical site. 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, it's a genocide at a 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,

residential 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, demi and asking the parties to protect and per se. and israel 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. as 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. 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 make it easier. you'll find the discussions that editors have on content and check out these exchange between 2 people. when it's 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 repeat, the paid to involve back is facing that they have sources that show that it 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 writers, and 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 4 colors and the 4 colors as badly 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 to 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 monitors. i think the tragedy does not stop at the box, as are so 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 that are the old schools, like the one level to be 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 for 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 was please annette just structures that affected it. his own 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 in palestine. the research isn't a central part of building that narrative so, so you have to erase 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 and pick it up in culture or yeah, concerns and concept in some form or another. so that, that could be tangible. those kind of 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 counseling partitioning as well. so it's very important that and the practitioners, the culture that has nothing but what is defined by culture is also the people. it's not only the 2 things, it's an important talk, but also to people and to have an idea of the, of that culture 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. i wish a garage i want to push it out is no longer left. uh, i'm gonna pass that by the by g, some of the, some of the, the mazda, i know one is the, yeah, no, i mean, that's one of the fuel company was on a so to one the 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 this sooner,

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 because being on our bus in between, barkers and us. and it was very clear that this would be done in a co create a methodology, and that's something we apply across our project. it's possible in different fonts or shapes and then click on the language is something that is much more than words

. it's also the environments and which is spoken of this is 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 a 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. the also build an artificial intelligence model like an auction . i much model in order to be able to speak so that the audience is able to speak to someone that was in the experience to get moving certain thoughts. oh, 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 to it gets its just vanishing the fraction of exposure in the race. you know, for generations to come is actually something that people like above and, you know, for example, people to talk about $5000000000.00, somehow distinguished 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. they 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 a for sure me poll 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 later 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 season the hearing the combination of via war and the heavy rain creating a rest of the for more suffering for palestinians. i'll just see you as teens across the world when you close to the house of the story in the humanitarian crisis in lebanon, calls for immediate and sustained action. okay, foundations, loving an emergency response subs as a vital lifeline for many in desperate need. your donations can play
