that's the latest on d.w. news omarion evan steyn from me and the entire news team here in berlin thanks for the company. my 1st boss was a sewing machine. where i come from women are balanced by this notion for women something as simple as learning how to write them by psychos isn't. since i was a little girl i wanted to buy say the lost my home and he took me as the one despite their. finally they gave up and went on buying me on my cycle but returned because sewing machines sewing i suppose was more appropriate for goes than writing about it as now i want to meet. women back home who are bones by their duties and

social norms and inform them of oded be some rights my name is them out of the homes and a war that's going to. shift special how drones are helping humans during the krona virus pandemic and beyond. to cope with 900 pandemic has given drones acoustic piano and aerial vehicles are being used to disinfect streets remind people of lockdown measures i'm still live or food as well as other supplies. this is a promo clip from the irish start up mondo 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 gall instead we're delivering critical food supplies to farms who products to be incompetence at the town the coun insurer in the country and. the advantage of drones is that they can deliver goods to lockdown areas without individual people having to come into contact. 7 year old for don't like police and order bread and milk or medications also being delivered directly toward doorstep it's absolutely fantastic and it's just used to give. never seed a day at best which happened as it wouldn't have to get into 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 humane he says monitoring the economist drones could be a job for airline pilots currently out of work because of the corona crisis. in

supper 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. 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. these examples show how creative individuals worldwide are using the technology to help overcome 900 channel engines. several african countries like qualified john experience to help overcome this. i found at the african cademy where young africans can learn to build and operate drones.

deborah is 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. many things that i didn't from here we had we had the designing of the jones designing of the payload. trees and it's hard to reach him. being able to fly drones accurately is 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 the economy. 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 business is really building up the john industry and being more than just pilots to this and her fellow students learn to construct a pilot drawings integrate them into supply chain systems and analyze drawn data. grades in the face. they see kelly is a woman and. this lab is 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. we are finding this drill is useful to the nation yeah because we. be 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 27000 hit 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 of flooding. it's a hard situation and 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 moved to this area could be less and less prone to flooding. so far drone companies like arrow can't find

enough qualified personnel in africa the academy 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 as her own family never had much. of her uncle currently lives in a slum. he's proud of his niece and she visits him often. aren't the number of students in malawi interest the glory study is she is the future and he she was the 1st group that has shown interest to turn to go so i can see a future form allowed for. the 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. 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 buried hundreds of people and destroyed entire villages. davida scott 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 in the in the

middle of it disaster but of course these things. personally and i always wanted to be able to actually help other people with my back knowledge. with 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 rule should be something there that whenever there is a disaster there firefighters at the soup of action i drive today plays all these aster and it will finally find its way through the building and find. you know the free space within the building you can also mock the environment. where the victims are lying 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 type tunnels. the 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

inspect an object from up close you can turn into a teaching. and it can reposition its arms to get through narrow passages. and. the drone flies autonomy asli using a special software that registers points on structures and follows the multiplier. 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 persons 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 dog things 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 extent 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 then the drone is a great addition. another helpful feature would be a microphone with intercom pictures that way i could communicate with somebody very far away inside

a building and that would also be really important. takes these needs to heart at the moment whoever is primarily working on battery life and the drone speeds. by that i follow it but only between 20 and 30 minutes that means if you want to be able to fly fast fast. there are many obstacles flight should overcome for example you need to be able to perceive fast and to make the reason you. saw the man we are 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. in. the

nigerian mafia. and if. we investigate the shadowy world of human trafficking and to the victims. why does sound if you go to the police. was a community thing i was afraid i was really trying to. turn . on d w. back to the beginning for the brief scene history the sluice. it was the sensation that the night you. long forgotten this story with love. by. storm. i. read. 60 minutes w. . i know nothing out of the germans well i guess sometimes i am but most and

nothing with the german people german thinks deep into the german culture. you don't see ridiculous grammar to you it's all that. you know i'm rachel join me for me to get on the golf course. i low and a very warm welcome to this brand new edition of the 77 percent that show that covers what impact africa's young majority i am your host one jiko wala thanks for joining me today we're delving into the shadowy world of human trafficking. also on the show.
