it's now actually reviewing its content policies its revealing ways to handle violating or partially violated content thank you very much. this is news that's all from us for the moment i have an update for you told me out i switched on so. i'm not laughing at the well because sometimes i am but mostly i'm nothing with you but you haven't think deep into german culture shock. new to take this grandma down to you because it's cold out there no time right so join me for me to get the bungee jumping course. i'm going crazy thing in all the time. how to handle on mule lives in times of the car on a pandemic d.w.
8:16 pm
reporter. just like everyone else and she's looking for answers thankfully with the help of training expressed well. thank you it's not life as we know it but. in this together. shift special how drones are helping humans during the krona virus pandemic and beyond. the covered 900 pandemic has given drones acoustic piano and aerial vehicles are being used to disinfect streets and remind people of lockdown measures abstain liver food as well as other subsides. this is a promo clip from the irish startup motto the company was set to begin testing its food delivery by drone service in march. but then came the coronavirus pandemic
8:17 pm
now monitors flying its drones to a small town called money call it staff were delivering critical food supplies to farmers who. that city happens at the time the kooning during the cunt and. the advantage of drones is that they can deliver goods to lock down areas without individual people having to come into contact. 70 year old fidel my gleason order bread and milk for medications also being delivered directly toward doorstep absolutely fantastic and it's different by jove when i thought i'd never see a day at best which happened as i wouldn't have my care and. just. a single drone can make up to $100.00 deliveries per day manas founder bobby healy says that if the government wants the start of could be delivering to $600.00 smaller towns across ireland by the end of the year. what's more he says monitoring the autonomy drones could be a job for airline pilots currently out of work because of the chronic crisis. in

the upper yard it's municipal workers who are operating drones the beach town began using drones for ocean rescues to monitor forest and brush fires. now drones are also supplying elderly people in remote areas with medications disinfectant and face masks the nearest pharmacy is about 2 hours away on foot. now this resident says it's necessary for them to come to us where we live is remote but the distance doesn't count only the goodwill of the people. in. these examples show how creative individuals worldwide are using the technology to help overcome covert 1900 channel and has. several african countries like qualified john experts to help overcome this allowing unicef i found at the african john and data academy for young africans can learn to build and operate drones.
8:19 pm
deborah getting a flying lesson. she's one of the 1st students at africa's 1st drawn academy. deborah plans to use what she's learned during the program to help her native country malawi. there's so many things that i learned from here we had we had the designing of the jones depending on the payload. trees and it's hard to reach. being able to fly drones accurately as important and hard to reach areas so from commuters to 5 meters over this 10 meter range. the curriculum demands a lot from 826000 currently enrolled around half are female most and all are from
8:20 pm
africa this was one of unicef's conditions for financially supporting their cattle me. africa many times has been far behind in technology and we think drones are the future we want them to start their own businesses join current businesses is really building up the john industry and being more than just pilots to this and deborah and her fellow students learn to construct a pile of drawings integrate them into supply chain systems and analyze drawn data . i really feel great in the 1st place. basically as a woman and as you presenting. this lamas not far from the academy deborah comes from humble background herself if the drone program weren't free of charge she wouldn't be able to afford it. i don't think we are finding these drones use a fault in the information. be disease outbreaks at some
8:21 pm
point and it was a good. challenge is season by season different approach. also. because of these different seasonal agricultural challenges malawi hopes drones can help protect small farmers like david george. the country has spearheaded using drones and data in 2017 it opened the world's 1st drone testing corridor. here companies like martin carroll's employer can test their drone solutions. martinus testing how to supply remote villages with medicines and surveying the region to identify areas at risk from flooding. it's a hard situation in the lowry because you know it's a lot of families have a lot of history in the areas that they've grown up and i don't want to move our goal is to be able to provide the evidence showing that you know this is prone to flooding and this is where it could happen whereas if we move to this area could be less and less prone to flooding. so far drug companies like arrow can't find enough
8:22 pm
qualified personnel in africa the academy is supposed to change that. today is a special day for deborah her presentation on digital maps as part of her final exam if everything works out she'll soon be a qualified drone pilot and technician. wants to specialize in land surveying in order to help alleviate hunger and starvation in malawi she knows what it means to be poor and her own family never had much. her uncle currently lives in a slum he's proud of his niece and she visits him often. i didn't the number of students in malawi interest the group study is she's the future and the she is the 1st group that has shown an interest in drawn to go so we're going to see a future form allowed for. the drone industry looks set to grow rapidly and deborah
8:23 pm
hopes to be a part of it she wants to found her own company that works with drones focused on helping those in need in malawi and beyond. more than 10 years. has been working on a pole to. help save people buried in rubble earthquakes often cost many human lives also in italy. in the summer of 2016 these images from central italy shocked the world the earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 very hundreds of people and destroyed entire villages. knows the pictures all too well he grew up in a region often affected by earthquakes. these events are actually shocking fortunately i was never actually affected personally it was nobody in the middle of
8:24 pm
it these are still. of course these things that you personally and i always wanted to be able to actually help other people who might acknowledge. what. the scientists dream is to develop a truly autonomy micro drone to be used in search and rescue scenarios. and yet the professor for robotics and his team have been working on this project for more than 10 years old so the idea that we should be something that whenever there is a disaster there firefighters at the scene of action i drive to the place of these aster and it will finally find its way through the building and find also its way you know the space within the building you can also mop the environment localized well that the victims are drawing and then find its way out from the building.
8:25 pm
the design is already largely completed the small drone has been equipped with cameras that it uses to scan the surroundings an onboard computer analyzes the captured images and extracts prominent reference points to create a detailed 3 d. map. this allows it to locate potential survivors of course the drone also needs to reach them and that presented a problem. earthquakes can reduce everything to rubble in order to reach people trapped within a drone would have to be able to get through narrow passages and tight tunnels. solution a drone that can adapt to its surroundings by folding and reshaping itself. for independently rotating propellers are attached to mobile arms thanks to servo motors these can swivel around the main body allowing the drone to fold into an ocean to pass through holes. to
8:26 pm
inspect an object from up close and they can turn into a t. shirt. and it can reposition its arms to get through narrow passages. and the drone flies autonomy slightly using a special software that registers points on structures and follows them all why. this enables the drone to constantly calculate its own exact location and speed. a training ground close to. this is where we dog the swiss society for rescue dogs trains for emergency situations. when looking for buried person after an earthquake nothing beats a dog's nose but there are limits if a building is at risk of collapsing the mission is too dangerous for humans and animals re doc thinks these are situations where

a drone could be useful. although the drone is foldable which is great because it can enter buildings through tiny openings and that's really important as pathways can be very small. autonomy's flying is another great feature as cable is communications and connections often get interrupted in the rubble. we don't use his telescope cameras to look inside buildings. but these can only extend some 5 meters after that there's no way forward. i think drones would be great as one of several tools for instance if i use the camera and realize that there's a large hollow space in that i can't go further but i need to in the drone is a great addition. another helpful feature would be a microphone with intercom peters and that way i could communicate with somebody very far away inside
8:28 pm
a building and that would also be really important the seville oakley monthly stick . takes these needs to heart at the moment whoever is primarily working on battery life and the drone speed. by that i forward the only solution between 20 and 30 minutes that means if you want to be able to fly. there are many obstacles flusher will become for example you need to be able to see fossella and to make good reason fossett. so at the moment are working on this will be problems so the robotics professor will continue researching and in a couple of years his dream of the perfect rescue drone may well be a reality. is
8:29 pm
it smart when they hear on the racetrack parts of kima ciccio. the perfect place to test those high powered vehicles. once a flashy artistic some one behind the times electra mobility in sports cars a cool heated nervous question of bread. doubling. the rises. cities will sink into the sea. entire stretches of land will be abandoned. when the water comes to rise. sistering waters are supposed to prevent flooding but they only delay the inevitable. live in the future 66 meters and rising sea levels. in 45 minutes on g.w.
