1:33 am
we can fill it as heat. ultraviolet is invisible but our skin knows if we have too much of it. and then there are x—rays and gamma rays and microwaves, but it is radio waves that i have come to talk about today. this is spia global that makes satellites that listen to the radio waves that listen to the radio waves that bounce around the earth. we use data from space to improve life on earth. we are done, right? improve life on earth. we are done. right?— done, right? maybe it is a bit more complicated _ done, right? maybe it is a bit more complicated than - done, right? maybe it is a bit more complicated than that. l more complicated than that. they have about 100 satellites in orbit that monitor radio broadcast from things like planes and ships along with natural radio waves that are reflected off those objects, of the sea, the land and that bounce through the atmosphere

and then it is up to their customers to decide what to do with that data. the one of our bread and butter applications is looking at how gps signals bend as they pass through our atmosphere. ba; bend as they pass through our atmosphere-— bend as they pass through our atmosphere. by looking at how much they _ atmosphere. by looking at how much they benefit _ atmosphere. by looking at how much they benefit you - atmosphere. by looking at how much they benefit you can - much they benefit you can calculate precisely dungee one tenth of a degree calvin what the pressure and temperature of the pressure and temperature of the air passing through is. it is a really important source. would you allow your satellites to be used as a subscription service? they are already up there and then you say to companies "do you want them?" some companies have unique ideas and we help them upload those applications. just ideas and we help them upload those applications.— those applications. just like ou those applications. just like you would _ those applications. just like you would download - those applications. just like you would download an - those applications. just like you would download an appj those applications. just like i you would download an app to those applications. just like - you would download an app to a smart phone you can upload an app to a satellite?— app to a satellite? absolutely. the same _ app to a satellite? absolutely. the same way _ app to a satellite? absolutely. the same way it _ app to a satellite? absolutely. the same way it was _ app to a satellite? absolutely. the same way it was crazy - app to a satellite? absolutely. the same way it was crazy 20, 30 years ago that you could launch a website by uploading into this invisible cloud, it is now becoming possible for

1:36 am
really orientates itself using a spinning wheel that is inside and also a magnet which can push against the earth's magnetic field. some satellites are used to help with climate analysis. for example, the way that radio waves bounce off the ground could tell you how moist the soil is and the way the radio waves bend as they travel through the atmosphere can help precisely determine the air temperature. and then they are the ships. by comparing the id signals broadcast by vessels with their actual positions as given away by radio wave reflections, it is possible to spot if a fishing boats are saying one thing but doing another. ., , another. so, that might be somebody _ another. so, that might be somebody fishing - another. so, that might be somebody fishing when i another. so, that might be. somebody fishing when they another. so, that might be - somebody fishing when they are not licensed to. it might be a vessel fishing once, their license for one whole, and then selling that on the high seas, fishing again and then coming into port and say, "here, i

fixated on content moderation. we decided to put the system to the test. found 300 videos that denied climate change is real, reporting those videos to tiktok under the category of harmful misinformation, available to any user and we waited for release today and went back to find out whether they had been taken down and as it turns out almost 90% of those reported were still on tiktok, and in these posts, they are getting attention, we racked up almost 30 million views. that building over there, that is tiktok�*s uk headquarters, right here at the heart of london. i asked the company for an interview but it declined. instead it sent us a statement, it said the company prohibits harmful climate change misinformation and that it has permanently removed the content and accounts that we found violated its policies. it also said it's working with
1:50 am
fact checkers and that people searching for content about climate change on tiktok are being shown a link to authoritative information. after we said tiktok links to all of the videos we reported, they took most of them down, and the ones that are still alone, well, for the most part, they will no longer be recommended to new users and to top it all, tiktok suspended 65 accounts that had been posting wrong information about climate change. meanwhile at the met office, doug feels encouraged by the steps tiktok has taken. as a climate scientist i appreciate that tiktok have got this policy and that it will take time to make fully operational.— take time to make fully operational. still, i asked doua , operational. still, i asked doug. is _ operational. still, i asked doug, is kicking - operational. still, i asked doug, is kicking people i operational. still, i asked| doug, is kicking people off tiktok, removing the content really the best way to fix the problem?— really the best way to fix the roblem? ., . ., problem? removing the content bubbl has problem? removing the content bubbly has its _ problem? removing the content bubbly has its place _ problem? removing the content bubbly has its place but - problem? removing the content bubbly has its place but as i problem? removing the content bubbly has its place but as a i bubbly has its place but as a scientist i'm happy to be challenged, maybe we should be focused on really promoting

1:52 am
europe. these trades are being built in the heart of tuscany are europe's first try birds trains to enter the passenger service, having started running on routes in italy at the end of 2022. as well as being fitted with a overhead power, and a standard diesel engine, they are also fitted with a battery pack power unit and can be switched between modes. these trades are being manufactured by hitachi rail for italian rail operator tred italia based on hitachi's platform. italia based on hitachi's platform-— italia based on hitachi's latform. ., ., , platform. to the idea is you can change _ platform. to the idea is you can change this _ platform. to the idea is youi can change this technology, platform. to the idea is you i can change this technology, so without any disordered discontinuity and disruption. tred italia brand their services around different music
1:53 am
genres such as rock, pop or jazz. they decided to brand their trains as blues. diesel trains are still necessary, and are likely to be for some time because of the wide variation in the amount of electrified loans, particularly across europe. circuitry manufacturers and railway operators across the world are looking at greener and more efficient ways to power their trains when external electric power is not available. however, these trades will still rely on diesel power for large parts of some roots. the batteries only have a range of 15 kilometres at present. they can be recharged while other traders in operation, most in diesel electric motor. near its station, the batteries power the station completely, and
1:54 am
sometimes they will use overhead power and with the line is electrified, the diesel engine, but the battery still will be able to power other aspects of the trade and propulsion such as lighting and heating. what are some of the challenges with implementing changes? is a great power consumption?— changes? is a great power consumtion? �*, ., , ., ., consumption? it's a combination of these items. _ consumption? it's a combination of these items. they _ consumption? it's a combination of these items. they are - of these items. they are continually working on this, and it's a problem of space, problem of weight, so the abolition of a proposal for battery is improving this prospect and in terms of weight and size, it's ok but now it will require testing and testing before it can go on the market. , , , , market. despite this, hitachi these nutrients _ market. despite this, hitachi these nutrients will - market. despite this, hitachi these nutrients will produce l these nutrients will produce 50% less emissions than regular diesel trains. currently we are totally focused on battery solutions, of course, our
1:55 am
research is working on that but in terms of moving to market we are confident that this is a solution that will have strong success in the immediate and short—term. like cars, the direction of travel for trains is towards that of battery power, but unlike cars, trains are not quite there yet. trains like this a specific one rs step in the right direction, but we're still quite a few years out from having fully battery operated trains, but at least we are on right track. that was paul. that is it for now, thanks for watching and we will see you soon. this
