the kind of use when it's going online. correspondent in the know washouts for us thank you so much you're watching to get your news head to our website he come for all the latest news and information around the clock it's good to have you with us. mean. our car. armstrong really walk on the moon. isn't the earth really slight how strong. does the government of. syria see series spread like wildfire on the internet. on the part of small groups who shout louder than the us and profit from the lack of interest among reasonable people. in the spirit

of the fairness confronted comfort you don't like reality create another. film about knowledge and belief trust and deception democracy of the gullible starts joyce 1st on g.w. . shift special how drones are helping humans during the krona virus pandemic and beyond. the scope of 900 pandemic has given drones acoustic the unmanned 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 mana the company was set to begin testing its food delivery by drone service in march. but then came the coronavirus pandemic

now modifying its drones to a small town called money call it staff were delivering critical food supplies pharmacy products if you have. it ends with the child or kooning jury in the condo and. your vantage of drones is that they can deliver goods to lock down areas without individual people having to come into contact. 70 year old for don't like lisa in order bread and milk her medications also being delivered directly toward doorstep absolutely fantastic and it's by joel and i thought i'd never see the day . and they wouldn't have my care and. connectors. 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 up by yacht she like it's beautiful 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 facemasks the nearest pharmacy is about 2 hours away on foot. 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 1000. separate countries like qualified john experts to help overcome this allowing unicef i found at the african john and data academy where young africans can learn to build and operate drones.

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 on the program to help her native country. many things that i didn't from here we had we had in the designing of the jones designing of the payload. trees and. being able to fly drones accurately it's important and hard to reach areas so from commuters to 5 meters over 10 meter range. the curriculum demands a lot from the 26 students currently enrolled around half are female most and all

are from africa this was one of unicef's conditions for financially supporting their kind of 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 her fellow students learn to construct a pilot draw integrate them into supply chain systems and analyze drawn data i really feel great in the face being. basically as a woman and as you presenting. this lab is not far from the academy. deborah comes from humble backgrounds herself if the drone program weren't free of charge she wouldn't be able to afford it. we are finding this drill is used for. the disease outbreaks at some point and it was

a good. challenge. season by season different of them. also because of these different seasonal agricultural challenges malawi hopes drones can help protect small farmers like david george. the country is spearheaded using drones and data. in 2017 it open 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 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 it could be less and less prone to flooding. so far drug companies like arrow can't find

enough qualified personnel in africa to cademy is supposed to change that you see. 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. deborah 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 in number all those students in malawi interest the very start is she is the future and the she is do the 1st type of the group that has shown interest the drawn to go so i can see a future form allowed for. drone industry looks set to grow rapidly and deborah

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. for more than 10 years. has been working on a foldable. to help save people buried in rubble earthquakes often cost many human lives. in the summer of 2016 these images from central italy shocked the world the earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 buried hundreds of people and destroyed entire villages. davida scott i'm with son 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 not only to me that all

of these austere bought 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 yes the professor for robotics and his team have been working on this project for more than 10 years. old so the idea of the torch was something that when you got that disaster there firefighters with the suit of action i arrived today plays all these aster and it will finally find its way through the building and find all sorts way you know all the space within that building you can also mark the environment localize where the victims are drawing and then find its way out from the building. the design is already largely completed the small drone has been

equipped with cameras that it uses to scan the surroundings and 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 immobile arms thanks to servo motors these can swivel around the main body allowing the drone to fold into an ocean to pass through holes from. to

inspect an object from up close you can turn into a t. shape. and it can reposition its arms to fit through narrow passages. and. the drone flies autonomy slowly using a special software that registers points on structures and follows the fly. this enables the drone to constantly calculate its own exact location and speed. a training ground close to be our. this is where re dog the swiss society for rescue dogs trains for emergency situations. when looking for bury person or 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 says 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. it's going to be a 4 story. 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' that way i could communicate with somebody very far away inside

a building and that would also be really important but so the whole month we stick . takes these needs to heart at the moment whoever is primarily working on battery life and the drone speak. by that i follow it but only strictly between 20 and 30 minutes that means if you want to be able to fly fast. but you know if. there are many obstacles flushable become for example you need to be able to perceive foster and to make good reason i think so at the moment of working on these 2 big problems. the robotics professor will continue researching and in a couple of years his dream of the perfect rescue drone may well be a reality. wildlife

reserves in south africa. at 1st glance it's beautiful totally devoid of tourists during the current crisis but how long can it last without jobs. unemployment benefits only last 3 months together people are fighting for their survival and against poaching. global 3000. next. on d w. d to know that 77 percent of black are younger than the pot. that's me and me and you. don't know what time the voices. on this 77 percent talk about the issues. from the politics to flash

from housing boom boom town this is where they are. welcome to the 77 percent. this weekend r t w. global 3000 thanks for joining us. women doing traditionally male jobs long inconceivable in syria but the long running war has shaken everything up the effects of the coronavirus pandemic continue to reverberate south africa's wildlife reserves are struggling to survive and we need the babies in ukraine waiting for their parents.
