this is the news live from birth in hopes of peace to win that 2 decades of war in afghanistan talks between the afghan government and the taliban they can in tough times but sides are cautiously optimistic even though they were. also coming up. for gold in london for preston is no man's land by throwing. as the venice film festival draws to a close the movie industry is telling a pandemic reboot folk local cinema our culture correspondent takes us through the hot.

i'm anthony held welcome to start peace talks have begun between the afghan government and the taliban in the hope of ending 2 decades of bloodshed the 2 warring sides are meeting face to face for the 1st time in the gulf state of qatar or maybe it is there including the united states pushing for agreement but the rival parties have vastly different visions for the future of afghanistan. occur on this occasion to start the event many afghans have been waiting for for decades face to face peace talks between the government and the taliban united states secretary of state might come peo flew to the opening ceremony in doha qatar and urge the warring sides to seize the opportunity. but the choice is yours.

political system is of course yours to make in the united states we've found a democracy notably the principle of peaceful resolution and rotation of political power works best. democratic systems reflect the choices of the majority while protecting the human rights of everyone everyone that includes women and minorities their rights have been largely neglected by the taliban is just one of the several points the 2 sides disagree on. the use of violence is another the chair of the high council for national reconciliation calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire we have come here with good will and good intention to stop the 40 years of black shirt and achieve a countrywide and lasting peace will see that the taliban have long worried that reducing violence could give them less leverage at the negotiation table in their

opening statement instead focused on their desire to include tenants of islam and any future afghan government in this. request and i. both saw its. provisions all the whole it relates one of. the warring sides offered to dramatically different versions of a post-war afghanistan but the leaders meeting today stressed that violence will not help build a harmonious future. while journalist alley latif he is following the talks from kabul we asked him just where the main obstacles to a deal might lie. the biggest sticking points will obviously be around a ceasefire because you know talabani are hesitant to declare a nationwide long term cease fire they have declared to cease fires in the past

year or so previously the government also initiated a cease fire but this will be a major major sticking point and then for the government a major issue for them is sort of retaining this idea of the republic and making sure that their seats are secure because you know there are a lot of people within the government that the taliban and other groups and even people within of honest on you know might find suspect we're talking about former communists about warlords about people who as young people put it parachuted in from foreign countries and don't necessarily understand the cultural and religious and lead and aspects of the country or the languages so these types of people are very afraid for their jobs so maintaining the republicans also very important for them so these are the kinds of things that will really and that could really sort of hold up the talks was a t.v. there in kabul well iran has executed a young wrestling champion in defiance of

a global campaign calling for his sentence to be revoked now that after he was convicted of stabbing a security guard to death during anti-government protests the 27 year old athlete sent messages from prison saying he was tortured into confessing to crimes he didn't commit protesters have gathered outside iranian embassies worldwide here in berlin demonstrators called on governments to condemn the execution and take action against iraq. well earlier i spoke to yell the head of the w.'s fozzy department i asked him why iran went ahead with the execution despite the outcry. this actually came very unexpected and it shows i think the islamic republic of iran has 2 clear messages with this act one is within the country to kind of intimidate others the other is of course addressed to the international community that showing

that despite of international appeals despite of human rights of these nations. calling in iran not to execute this young athletes they kind of this could not hold them back and one very important aspect is actually that never got cari a young athletic he took part in the protests 2018 against the government and they're actually trying to maybe also prevent others from taking to the streets because we've seen a lot of unrest in iran also last once in 2001000 and it's just a matter of time that this could come up again due to economic pressure due to political pressure due to you know violation of human rights and so on and the other aspect also is the timing of why now because interestingly this morning actually one journalist. was on the way to she runs the plane to board the plane together with one of and obviously i was brothers because they

were about to meet the family after with him to stab security agent so if it is sad are they have given signals that they wanted to maybe forgive a car and according to islamic law when it comes to murder if the family gives and he should not be executed and also he should normally see his family before such an act and all that was not given today. i was. there head of the w.'s fozzy department ok let's have a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. france has confirmed a national record of more than 10019 cases in a day by minister john custis has warned the situation is deteriorating and the urged citizens to observe the rules on social distancing and wearing masks francis saying the shop rising infections in recent weeks. the worst police have detained dozens of women protesters in the capital minutes activists say at last month's

elections were rigged and want the police of opposition leader. because liz mccolgan she was jailed after preventing authorities from expelling her to ukraine by tearing up a possible now the mass gathering is planned for sunday. a great place to fire tear gas and migrants protesting on the island of less boss thousands have spent a 4th night without shelter after a fire destroyed the over crowded morea refugee camp the great company has begun building a replacement facility but most of the migrants say they just want to leave. hundreds of people made homeless after the movie i can't burn die in gathered to protest close to the site of new temporary accommodation. this woman is suffering from the effects of tear gas fired by greek riot police after tensions boiled over after days of largely peaceful demonstrations children are attempting to diffuse

the situation. medical aid is arriving but conditions are dire many of the people here have been displaced by the fires are exhausted and weak. if the truth is truth is good people didn't put your 3 hungry patricians in moria what for years lots of people think maybe some people have gotten over. the 1st believe . shortly after 35 people tested positive for corona virus and were facing isolation measures 12000 people had been living in the camp before the fires in accommodation originally meant to heist just 3000 people the new camp will provide shelter for a similar amount many here are angry not just at the greek authorities but to european governments. we are if you but you're not happy about what we lost over everything. we still have our car more than of the people who are.

here because because 50 in europe are coming in show therefore you have to save but you can't afford it 4000 children are among those who've been displaced by the morea fire. and this stretch of road is blocked off in both directions the greek government is encouraging people to go to the new temporary accommodation but many are weedy fearful that what happened at moria could easily happen again in another camp. well the venice film festival is wound up with a gala not of stars on the red carpet glittering awards and face masks when i think old line for best film was no mad land starring frances mcdormand venice marks the 1st major generally since the start of the pandemic with many in the industry having a launch for global cinema. well joining me here in the studio is. the

1st big festival in the time of the pandemic who leaves with a smile on their not quite a few people actually though of course not everyone was able to attend because of travel restrictions and during the pandemic times but the top winner was a my favorite of the festival so finally the jury agrees with me nomad land is the name of the film it's by. a chinese director who works in the united states and it's a film that stars frances mcdormand and i think she's going to probably get her 3rd oscar for this performance of the mazing amazing role the film is based on a nonfiction book and it looks at the community of modern day nomads these are sort of mainly older people there are life savings wiped out through the recession of 200-2009 they've taken to the road living in their r.v.'s and in their vans traveling across the country doing odd jobs much much like the migratory laborers of old france we don't replace one of these characters i'm in a cast mainly made up of people from the community it's an amazing film and i

always been a huge fan of france we've gone but in this role she just disappears in the role it's the most subtle and and powerful performance of it everything i've seen or see had and. on the other side the best actor role was a bit of a surprise for me but it went to a very famous italian actor differences go. and he wrote one for nostra which is a period drama set in what the times called the years of lead when the government was fighting against terrorists very terrorist forces and this film is based on a real life assassination attempt on the director's father the director was 10 years old the time his father was the main one of the main forces against terrorism had that the end of terrorism force and this film was inspired by his real life experience and so the differences go of you know winning the best actor for his role you went down to venice you saw these movies did anything that we've heard now from the the awards. yeah actually surprised when i saw that saw the film and it's

surprise me now that she's she's one. of her be who you might know she's a fairly well known actress for a netflix series the crown on this she had her 1st feature film debut in the lead role in pieces of a woman and she won the best actor surprised about it she plays a woman who's traumatized by the loss of the child and sort of destroys her entire entire life incredibly powerful melodrama and i've never seen but that's a kirby who have always been a servant entertaining figure mainstream actors i've never seen her go deep this deep in a role like this really really powerful forms i'm really glad she she went home with the with the top actress award what if anything we saw in venice thing is going to translate over to hollywood and the academy awards what i said frances mcdormand to no man's land i think she's a front runner i think the film itself could be a front runner for even the best picture next year but outside the competition is another thing because i called one night in miami it's the actress turned director gina king and it's set in the sixty's and it's a meeting of 4 black civil rights icons really including muhammad ali and malcolm

x. and it's about a real life meeting that they had and where they just in the film at least discussed the future of the black power movement ok this is almost 50 years ago but the issues they discuss couldn't be more relevant with the black lives matter movement and the issues. that the political direction that they try to figure out in the course of this film is one that i think america is still trying to figure out a very very powerful movie and i think is one will definitely be a contender for next year's oscars i'm excited by the award but i'm worried as a movie watcha that the pandemic is wiped out production so we're seeing the backlog being cleared sorry for the question without notice when it's holywood and when i can get back producing we're going to run out of new pieces i don't think going to run of movies anytime soon but i thought was interesting in venice this year we didn't have a lot of the big hollywood movies like last year with joker we didn't have those movies because production has been sort of clogged up but what we did have is a lot of small independent films those films are getting made a lot of them have been made and are coming out now i think it's very interesting

period right now because we're getting a lot of what i think are more interesting compelling films they're getting a chance to get into the spotlight thanks so much. and that's your news update for this hour up next reporter has a look at radical militias in the u.s. more news coming up in 45 minutes time for now i'm anthony howard thanks watch. elude police. glug.

roof. leaks. traffic jams crowded trains and shia endless waiting nothing in berlin stresses me out more than trying to get from one place to another and the only traffic is a growing concern in many large cities across the globe smart technologies can help us solve this chaos how exactly that's our topic on ship today. out there many still use cars as their main mode of transportation aside from air pollution and the climate crisis this also has

a huge drawback more and more traffic jams in paris for example drive us are stuck bumper to bumper about 165 hours a year mall and that's nearly as solid week. honking at strangers but probably not for long in autonomy passengers can use the ride to do something much more productive i for one wouldn't mind brushing up on my friends but for this day to come they are still a lot of things left to work out and the biggest challenge to develop a still face is humans. driverless cars use their versions of sensors to control themselves autonomous lee. but so far these cars have merely recognize pedestrians as objects in motion. ai systems are unable to calculate pedestrians unpredictable behavior or to properly understand their body language. london based tech company humanizing autonomy and other

research institutes are working to develop models for human behavior and traffic. this data will hopefully then train autonomy's cars. so humans very complex especially when me. we can treat them with normal motion comic i wear them in our expertise is in combining behavioral psychology with statistical and deep learning. for protest koreans too it's important to be able to communicate with autonomy's car the normal eye contact and gesturing help. developers are working on interfaces that could be used to signal to pedestrians whether or not they can cross the street by using light signals in the windshield for instance. there's a problem the protests train behavior and non-verbal communication differs around the world. if you look at for example in meaning. no one will

jaywalking. where they become to london people are jaywalking all the time the great thing about vegas today and of course the attorney actually goes all the speech is that their vehicles know where they are and we have a mission that for each of these places it would be a different set of models that would be used but each of these spaces and these models would be fine tuned specifically for that road. clearly there's still a long way to go and that's what experts from all around the world gather regularly to discuss future mobility solutions like at berlin's the for trade show one main topic is how can a driverless car seat or more specifically which sensors does it need to recognize and respond to its surroundings as well as to be expected in the mosque has a very strong opinion on that matter let's take a closer look. at thomas cars and cameras to alter sound and radar to

analyze their surroundings as well as the more modern light our sensors that use lasers. have all these lines in and we need these different types of sensors because radar and lidar can calculate the distance to objects very accurately but they don't capture enough details to. recognize what these objects really are when it comes to humans it's the camera that's best equipped to detect what their intentions are that is to kill are they about to cross the road or not you know i just wasn't you know what an issue. the industry's top companies are increasingly setting their sights on light on technology which stands for light to tech and ranging here sensors attached to the car sent millions of laser impulses every 2nd this creates a precise 3 d. image of the surrounding objects tesla basilan musk recently ruffled some feathers when he said lighter was too expensive and that cameras radar and ai systems would suffice tesla uses only radar radio waves are used to measure objects distance and

speed using this data and the camera images a 3 d. image of the surroundings is then created with the help of a dog. glowing on pity roboticist and manufacture of light are systems disagrees with the law must. come the problem is that cameras don't often direct information about distance and radar isn't high rez so there's missing information on what this means you need another source of information to be able to navigate safely the question here is can you said cost and safety and i for one i'm absolutely against this in my opinion mobility needs to be completely safe which also means using the best census. by the way experts believe one out of 10 cars on the road in 2030 will be self driving some are already hitting the streets today like this at a clinic in florida during the pandemic of a whole new world of ottis they can help minimize the spread but they said just

precursors to truly a ton of those vehicles we are a passenger only needs to punch in the destination turn over the engine and then lean back and relax. but do we really want to let a robot take the wheel is it even safe and who makes the better drive out man. dimensions i think humans are very good drivers but machines a better father is not right their actual driving is better in every situation but they're always paying attention that men should look at distracted by their own origin ice cream or dream coffee and that is the problem heman just on always paying attention and machines of programs always be attentive which is why they're better drivers overall since the off the line if this doesn't follow. as a moment is going to the moment it's definitely humans who are the better driver seen as and don't trust the machine offers good support especially in emergencies but humans are definitely better than in the future it will definitely be the

machines they've vantage of an automated system is that it's always activated it has a $360.00 degree view and the crucial for the city and it has a general understanding of the situation what are the other road users planning to do. right now i would definitely say man in the city for sure. but man makes lots of mistakes and this. led to and continues to lead to lots of injuries and that in cities themselves i'm optimistic that in the future we will have automated systems that create a safer and more pleasant city for already exists. how could a robot possibly be a better driver that was. put joking aside by different intelligence does have some obvious advantages it never gets tired or distracted and it always keeps it cool i wish i could say the same about myself either way robot vehicles console the issue of in the city congestion on they all they need additional distal assists life

software they can factor in my preferred modes of transportation my current location and the time of day to find the quickest most efficient way to get where i'm going next but at the front of the institute have teamed up with great minds across europe to develop just that. team is a smart navigation system for all. road users cars bikes buses and trucks it's a project that's designed to regulate the entire traffic and help everyone to reach their destination faster. the sat nav supplies information on traffic jams and makes recommendations. for instance what speed the driver only to travel at to make the next green light the i knew him as a real challenge in traffic management is to understand the needs of all road users trying to get from a to b. . then this needs to be analyzed and reconciled with what's actually possible within mobility in the future i could definitely see new technology helping us to

react in a more dynamic way than. team would send data to traffic management centers while it simultaneously navigates road users traffic management would then be able to react to the various situations immediately they could adjust traffic like durations and speed limits change the bus schedule at short notice divert heavy traffic on to unused bus lanes and much more these decisions would have to be made visible on the street you would immediately. move if i say traffic lanes will be used more dynamically than i have to think of a way to do that maybe with l.e.d.s. or something what can i bring into the space to make it more dynamic. virtual traffic lights could be an option if there are lots of cars maybe we need a traffic light but if the road is quiet then this could simply be displayed in the individual vehicle and for us to go. if concepts like these can reduce traffic in berlin and other cities then great but if i'm being honest the syphon out in me was

hoping the future of mobility would look a little cooler like flying cars lucky for me there already research is out there working on some crazy new ideas check these are. a flywheel is an autonomous lead driving vehicle which could replace cars the wheels can be connected to one another to. longer units. are designed to use existing subway and railway tunnels as a form of collective transport and then they can disconnect again to bring the passengers to their exact destinations the idea came from architect max should. think it is i don't think of the fi world as a form of motorised private transport like a car but it's not a public transport either by the subway it is something in between takes the best of both worlds and create something new which we've called a collective mobility system elective really it's.

the bollock up there is an electrically powered autonomy's flying taxi that can bring passengers to their destination much quicker than other means of transport. and developers aim to reduce the number of vehicles on the road whilst also reducing air pollution. and this is the hybrid the i pod that chews through a tube almost at the speed of sound the idea came from tech visionary musk in 2013 the era sucked out of the 2 creating a vacuum which with barely any wind resistance propels the passenger capsules to speeds up to 1200 kilometers an hour developers around the world are currently working on hyperloop projects a 2 hour car ride say from abu dhabi to dubai would take just about 12 minutes. with that i might even enjoy commuting to work every morning but it remains to be seen if we goes like these would be a bailable to the wider public if they remain toys for the super rich whatever

happens expose all around the world are working hard on the future of mobility if i had my way i'd hop off my balcony directly into my flying car then use a bike for shorter routes for example and the bike. the future of mobility how do you imagine it what would you. to see let us know what you think i can't wait to hear your ideas that's it for me for today see you next time.

africa. these freshly hatched sea turtles in an ivory coast are under threat. humans are their greatest enemies. but one in geo is working with researchers in the maritime police to protect them. saving the sea turtles life risks. for. next on. can see a walking through quite high and then crashed. monserrate shmita was once filthy rich and regarded as a model businessman bankers and politicians contributed to his success. the scheme would never have worked in the banks hadn't played along there's no way. big money big surprise the story of a german cop. in 30 minutes alone d w. w crime fighters are back at

a bit of africa's most successful radio drama series continues tomorrow night disowns are available online a little more so you can share and discuss on t w africa's facebook and other social media platforms crime fighter 2 men knelt. down. had to know everyone good to see you it's a beautiful day here in lagos not sunny but just the way we like it now did you know that too much of its official life can have a negative effect on our health and the world around us i'm sure you didn't think of that we'll have more on that later on on the show welcome to the environment show eco africa a military way then to visit kano park in lagos now let's see what's coming up on

the show today. we take a look at a cleverly designed on hand which turns 3 streets sweeping devising gonna. find out why farmers in the netherlands are big fans of bad see. and hear about how people in the ivory coast are protecting baby turtle. and now we're off to kenya the east african country has a high domestic energy demand i mean many sectors including the t.v. industry people are kings of final tonnages to fossil fuels kenya is africa's leading producer in cary coal country there are several t. processing companies that are using sustainable energy sources from the local area let's go have some tea. when the sun shines. comes to light the fields are covered in.

the special climate here makes it kenya's most important green region. in saying really has a plantation here he's one of hundreds of thousands of small will the farmers who make a living going to. the east face to source of income the main source of income i have the bully's completed and i've been to school for 4 points of support he said on the. transport. and tonight to be sunny the fact tree here walkers divide up the leaves in 2 batches and prepare them for the drying process. the factory uses a great deal of firewood but because of deforestation wood is becoming us cus resource in the region. so the factory has begun replacing it with

a brick it's made out of sugarcane residue you. about the brick roots compactor grow to grow a lot of storage space and it's also very easy to transport less about and from nukes you know we talk about prepared we're able to you know more and i do them by a. liberal get some made in a nearby factory the end made of sugar can find us a west product that is left over in sugarcane production sugar factories often dump the residue at the roadside where explores and emits the greenhouse gases come on the yolk side and me thin. but in this processing plant it is turned into a funny resource for us to the sugarcane residue is dried and shredded. and then it's pressed into briquettes system made out of a west product no additional land has to be put under cultivation.

diaz chavez is an expert for sustainable energy and has been assessing the environmental benefits of briquettes. this is in language circular economy so this is what we want to promote with bio energy and by quantum how you can really have a round it cycle for biomass back to the t. factory it has been able to replace one 5th of its firewood with pre-k. . and other t. factories are following suit training their workers on how to make this week the hope is that one day they will be able to face out firewood completely. if they succeed it will help preserve the remaining woodlands and protects the habitat of numerous animals and plants it would also benefit to the tea plantations

and firmest lake inside the rule. is that when they use the b.p.'s the company. uses the expenditure and this is money and the money saved goes to the farmers for the environment and the team produces in kenya the british sustainable solution is potential the potential to make kenya t. even. in germany like in many other places forest fires are a growing problem so understanding how best to help forest recover i regenerate is more important than ever a group of scientists decided to see what would happen if a force destroyed by fire well left more or less change own devices to several yes we may think we are vast in many ways but as is so often the case when given the chance mother nature will heal herself even from damage caused by humans like us.

whether beech trees maples or estens jeannette and even are always glad to see a new member of the family arrive about 12 months ago the 2 researchers began documenting changes big and small to this section of a forest ravaged by fire. to go off top. we got what we hoped for i mean the ecosystem is starting to recover and certain species are quickly appearing and spreading such as these aspens they've now brought about changes to the area that are in turn helpful for other species. don't for a good 6 and in aug 28th seen a forest fire raised almost 4 square kilometers of woodland outside the town of twine pleats and in eastern germany an area larger than 500 soccer pitches the usual practice after a forest fire is to clear the entire area and replant trees as seen on this private

land but not in this case thanks to a government funded project here dead trees are left standing. local forest d.t.h. bank it is testing an alternative solution removing most of the dead pine trees and planting other species in their place the idea is to create a mixed forest that's also home to oaks poplars and other deciduous trees. so i can i 1st wanted to see which species of tree i could use and how old they needed to be before being transplanted carrying out tests is important to get the full picture. and that's when the forest abroad in the expertise of these researchers they're here to find out the best way for a forest to be able to regenerate and become more climate resistant with or without human assistance. the researchers take

a hands off approach limiting their work to observing which plants and animals settle in the habitat it's a rare opportunity. it's now standard procedure to see to it that we repair the damage that humans have done all too frequently we do not give nature the time or space to do that itself and that deprives us of the chance to learn from nature to forgive him for all the false stuff and. among the things they have learned is that in addition to providing shade dead wood also in the hands of the soil when it falls to the ground it creates more humans which gives the soil more moisture the work has carried out on his test areas is on a smaller scale than is common in conventional forest management they're barely accessible by car and he's

a wreck to defense around the forest to keep the larger animals at bay he left a number of dead trees standing leaves have also been spread to keep the soil moist and protected during drought. we're seeing large scale forest fires in the region and that's going to continue so we need to learn how to respond to. that and that's why researchers in that blue murder is here she's been collecting data on soil humidity and temperature which plants and animals settle there and how all these factors impact on the ecosystem 8 other research institutes are also involved in the project the data gathered over the project's 5 year time frame is being collected at her university and has filed a near bilin but it happened habits like death data shows that natural reach even nation far exceeds the number of trees planted by humans. we've seen up to 3 times the amount. naturally resettling compared to the prying or

oak trees that were planted on the area. after after he found wooden. the researchers are also part of an international network they're eager to hear about the experiences of colleagues in the u.s. and mediterranean countries and to learn if and how forest ecosystems can be made more robust. starts. to go and starts cooling our work is really important it can help us to compare biomes or large ecological zones so that we can discuss common patterns or and also told. one thing the number of studies show is that even the remains of trees killed or damaged in severe fires help the forest ecosystem rebound which supports the argument of letting nature of being.

now we got into africa love people will take initiatives to help protect the environment our next report looks at a young innovator gonna who has a truck with a view of finding cost effective solutions and sustainable wants to do the problems facing his community his latest 2 will brainchild a bicycle that doubles as a little sweep here's this week's doing. this is no ordinary thought i can trade. this sweeping bicycle collects trash as it travels the streets of a crime its inventor frank darko is on a mission he wants to help clean afghan us capital. and i'm not happy when i go out spaz out there and i see so many robison and grown up is so sad and i want to see someone east from another country walking around i feel like painting but i want to be faffing very same so to live my new you mention i am i believe i come if i can

build a country all i can put on and welcome to do something to do that to mr davis on the street. he puts his sweeping bicycles together from discarded bikes and scrap may so. it takes the south to engineer around a month to complete one. it's just one of several inventions he's working on. from dhaka and hopes he will one day own a factory and his eco bike idea will sweep across the nation. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send this or tweet. after doing your bit. sharing your stories. pollution is a problem all over the world and comes in

a range of forms some obvious like plastic waste in our rivers and oceans all of a cloud of smoke billowing out of factories but even some things we consider useful can be the source of pollution and have their own kind of impacts on our wellbeing we shed a little light on the issue in a new segment called eco day. gazing at a sky resplendent with stars. something many people around the world are sadly no longer able to enjoy. and events thanks to artificial light while there are no updating figures available in $24.00 team the skies over hong kong were already $82.00 times brighter than they might be naturally. we suffer sleep deprivation from too much artificial light including that emitted

by smartphones. it also disrupts the orientation of nocturnal birds and insects. our energy consumption could also be cut drastically by ensuring responsible outdoor lighting. for starters it would help if advertising signs and building croissants weren't eliminated on mike long. and if nighttime lights were used only for the places where it's really needed. some cities have already committed to minimizing artificial light such as full day in germany it's among the $29.00 places so far to earn recognition as international dark sky communities. cities like these make it possible to see the starlit sky again and reset the. creatures to their natural

rhythm. dock this not only helps us get a better night's sleep it's crucial for maintaining a balance in nature light pollution poses a serious threat. to scenes like bots however scientists in the netherlands seems out found a solution to this by creating special refuge areas for the flying mammals and that isn't to keeping the bats safe they also make sure the. system is preserved. and there's one. in their special on a figure at least 5. far away from the bright lights of amsterdam dr commute is after creature that likes to operate under the cover of darkness. he is studying how lights are affecting bats so far his team has found the 1000

species of bat found in the netherlands react in widely different ways. and that's have a very strong response to light there's actually driven by mostly by fear of predators so if you're about that flies very slowly you better hide away and don't show yourself in the light because it's it's risky however if you're a bats that flies very fast and very i just know you don't need to be afraid that much for predators so you actually like taking away. from the slow flying species and exclude giving it to do these already common. but species and that's one of course not a good thing in terms of biodiversity you actually reducing biodiversity. nocturnal species are sensitive to the blue range of light as they have evolved to use the moon to navigate the brighter the blue the more distracting it is to

test how species respond to other parts of the spectrum the researchers have put up almost $200.00 lamp posts around the country that shine a range of colors if you take away the blue part of the spectrum and and compensate by a bit more rants which you actually see here and it may actually be less intrusive for these not the most species not all species may not perceive this light as intense and that's exactly what we have observed. the world over brightness and luminosity are growing at a rate of 2 percent per year. as the night gets more illuminated studies are linking light pollution to destructive natural cycles as well as mental health in humans. and there are outside i know of them farmers are nickel and carlos phase are also
