but have surprised yourself with what is possible who is medical really what moves and also who talked to people who followed her along the way admirers and critics alike how is the world's most powerful woman shaping her legacy joining us from echols last august. thank you. some noises make your skin crawl a nasty sensation which some people seem to enjoy provoking. fights other noises induce a pleasant tingle for example in a s m r videos what do scientists have to say about that. hello and welcome to a new edition of tomorrow today. before we explore the phenomenon of suv in

a s m r sound let's find out how we hear sound in the 1st place. anatomically speaking we have an outer ear a middle ear and an inner ear and that's where we pick up the tourist signals in the form of vibrations in the cochlea to be precise. the cochlea is a bit like a spiral staircase that bassler membrane and hair cells make up the carpet. it's those cells that enable us to hear from behind notes. notes sound fiber asians deflect the hair cells it's like flattening the fibers of a carpet. that generates an electrical signal which is sent to the brain and we perceive a sound. then stand up again and all ready for the next sound.

the different pitches are registered in different parts of the cockpit. i know it's are detected by the hairs at the bottom. lower ones further up. and the lowest notes at the very top. enabling us to hear a wide range of pitches. and their cells are very sensitive if they're exposed to too much stress or for too long they can be damaged and move on the real sounds they hear so that register high notes are especially susceptible to all frequencies passed by their stretch of the cochlear including the ones so it can get quite a battering like the bottom of a staircase. the carpet on the lower flights tends to wear out faster. and the corresponding hair cells stop working sooner so hard most of hearing usually starts with the high notes.

now get comfortable and look and listen carefully. in recent years as some are videos have become an unexpected. f.m.r. stands for autonomous sensory meridian response it's a relaxing tingley sensation that starts on the scales and moves down the body so that is it a real effect or pseudo science they tap gently on objects. patty. and. run their fingers over various textiles for hours on end and millions of people watch them. videos like these are uploaded to

you cheap every day francisco likes to watch them tell you if you're off on one of the audition groups this one features an artist from asia and she brushes her hair with different brushes and combs it till i think i've watched it around 20 times. then there's this video by s m r blossom where she makes different scratching noises it was one of the 1st videos that i watched over and over again if there is one part where the scratching noise was so pleasant that i had to watch it again. the lot of cats go watch the show with. you know watch it go back to the beginning and then watch it again. these videos are a mass phenomenon but so far there's been little research on them. but

clips soft coming sounds clearly represent a counter trend to the fast paced videos with short chalky sequences. there's not a lot going on in them but more than you may think. me like in the beginning everything seems samy and monotonous and it is but only for a few minutes then something changes and usually something adverse or stimulating starts before adding again then it returns to the original habitual sounds and then something new happens again like the viewers know they're going to be stimulated and then relax that's why they stay. on they keep watching because there's always something new it doesn't just lull you to sleep was this is nothing new up i am new and.

the effect that the videos produce is called a s.m.r. which stands for autonomous sensory meridian response it describes the present tenderly feeling on the skin that the videos can trigger. then. when i watch the videos and hear these noises hand movements or whatever. well it starts in the back of my head and i get goosebumps under my scouter the whole. that's how i describe it the tingles thought but. tingles travel from the back of the head down the spine.

they can be triggered by light scratching and knocking sounds. whispers or other gestures that evoke a personal connection. the past i want to see she's extremely close to the camera you can see her hands up close and at least part of her face up close and you really get a strong sense of her presence of the protagonist in the video that creates a feeling of closeness privacy or even intimacy. intimate it. in some of it he goes the view is addressed directly they put sounds front and center at the to normally just in the background. but there are some of the dios don't cause the same physical reaction and every one for a long time it was unclear if the effects were physiologically quantifiable. but a study by the university of sheffield showed for the 1st time that the heart rate

of people who experience a s.m.r. actually decreases significantly when they watch their videos. the productions and who are consistent with the idea that it's more something that's physiologically deactivating so it's relaxing and in the same way as you might get you or your heart rate so when you listen to the lacks in musical when you are on the beach just shit in our heart rate is. an index a preoccupation. but. if i as a mouse calming effect is scientifically proven could phidias like these be used as part of a treatment program. but. now whether it's something can be used clinically i guess is is an open question i mean people are already and totally using these videos for things buttons on. depression but whether they can usefully be something which we don't know but we do know is that asthma is

a facility physiologically related response so it appears to be something that's reliable in sick. and. that might be too early to know if videos could have a clinical application but francisco for one is going to keep watching them when she needs to relax. now it's time for our viewers question some animals are amazing acrobats they managed to keep their balance however during their moves. that got ray hanania from bangalore in india wondering. how do some animals climb walls the methods very. answer for example are excellent free climbers they have grooves in their feet that can cling on to even

the smallest holes. snails release a layer of mucus on flat surfaces so they don't dry out and to protect their sensitive skin. snail slime isn't rich with proteins that make it extra sticky making snails well equipped for higher things. this gecko by contrast doesn't need sticky stuff to let it walk upside down on a glass surface thanks to attractive forces between the glass and its feet. and electron microscope reveals hundreds of thousands of tiny has on the reptiles toes . the hairs widen the tip for maximum contact with the climbing surface where the hairs on the surface meet electrostatic forces between the molecules makes them attract perhaps the force is very weak but multiplied by hundreds of thousands of has

a gecko can hang in there with the best of them. those so-called fun devils forces are also what enables this robot to pick up items. nasa is currently testing a climbing robot for particularly difficult tasks. fits feet are inspired by the geckos. for climbing uses small hooks but can crawl into rock faces. one day the super climber might even be able to scale mountains on mobs. if outlet is red white are great but only if. you have a question that's been bothering you send it in as a video text or voice mail if we answer it on the show you'll get a little surprise as a thank you. come on just ask. for

more stories from the world of science and technology go to our website or find us on twitter. have we reached peak meat health scares and environmental concerns are making more and more of us think twice about our meat consumption. in germany a growing number of people are switching to a vegetarian diet. in global terms india has the largest number of vegetarians in the world 38 percent of the population if you like me but you worry about the ethics of factory farming sit tight you might soon be tucking into a fake steak. cultured or in vitro meat is created in laboratories. that could help reduce intensive animal farming. disservice to

form the stick instead of to doing. good for. the health of the. full being. produced from individual animal cells muscle tissue taken from animals by biopsy plays a critical role in the process it's cut into tiny pieces in order to separate the muscle fibers. it's the muscle tissue is made up of fat cells and muscle cells individual muscle cells can be removed and grown in culture media. the cells then divide many trillions of cells can be grown from a small cell sample in. these cells merge to form tiny fibers called mio tubes and from them a small piece of muscle tissue is grown. all of these little bits of muscle are

layered and put simply that cell in vitro meters me. in 20 field team and initial proof of concept was presented to the public to demonstrate the feasibility of cultured meat now several companies around the world are working on bringing in vitro meat to the masses it's easier said than done and the science is far from conclusive and while it's normally a muscle cell is part of a bundle of cells so it's corrected and regulated by the other cells as it grows you notice that doesn't happen with in vitro meat so it's difficult to know whether or not these in vitro meat cells will continue to develop in a healthy way or whether they might eventually start to mutate because the regulation by the other groups of cells isn't present on that still has to be studied to foster that. in $24.00 teams and initial proof of concept was

presented to the public to demonstrate the feasibility of cultured meat now several companies around the world are working on bringing in vitro meat to the masses it's easier said than done and the science is far from conclusive and while it's normally a muscle cell is part of a bundle of cells so it's corrected and regulated. the other cells as it grows. that doesn't happen with in vitro meat so it's difficult to know whether or not these in vitro meat cells will continue to develop in a healthy way or whether they might eventually start to mutate because the regulation by the other groups of cells isn't present that still has to be studied . still investors predict that laboratory raised meat will eventually become a lucrative business. plant based meat substitutes are

a lover potentially lucrative market but it's not so easy researchers are working hard to make these market me feel and taste convincing. in the source can't own a valley researches at the university of applied sciences are trying to figure out the best ingredients for meat substitutes michelle would buy if i experiment with various plants he's looking for something protein rich that provides the right flavor and fibrilation. the soonest the goal is to generate new food properties from familia raw materials. for cash we've built machinery so. we can use this to demonstrate that it's possible to alter the raw materials so that we end up with an attractive food product. because. one of the machines that the research is yours is an exterior under high

pressure and high temperatures the raw material is compressed and shaped. the extruded screw is a crucial component in the process. it makes is and pushes along the material. the position and length of the individual segments determines the properties of the final product that's expelled through the specially shaped opening. every manufacturer has its own recipe as configures the assembly process differently generally they have their own configuration for the nozzles to use. the cooling nozzle is another crucial element it's here that the structure of the proteins is fixed which determines the texture the nozzle itself determines the

shape and size of the meat substitute by a father and his colleagues have tried out different cooling nozzle forms and even built their own the plan is to start producing a new generation of meat substitute. detective work with every new raw material you have to identify and develop its parameters from scratch. the starting point is the role material these include soybeans sunflower seeds and yellow. there is such as extract that person and it has to be palatable. the building blocks of plant are amino acid when water is added to the exterior and the temperature turned up the proteins unfold the high temperature is key here the higher it is the more easily they are unfold and the more easily absorbed they are by humans. mitch out by ever monitors exactly what happens to the proteins when he

alters the temperature and the length of the process then he decides how the mixture is best treated in the extruder. testing which other plants might be suitable meat substitutes is also part of his research as well as peas and soybean . algae is a promising alternative. you know he has a high protein content and it's very nutritious but it's quite sticky so we have to improve the texture for example by adding something fibrous or by using another protein as a basis that's easy to structure. whether made of algae soybeans opie's meat substitutes is still a work in progress that can seem as well decide if the research is have done a good job on not. count since flowers. taste matters even when it comes to water but above all it means to be clean only

2.5 percent of the earth's water is fresh water humans and animals can go in search of the water they need but what happens when plants get thirsty. we visit the botanical gardens in hamburg to find out. who is needed to sustain life. plants need a lot of it so water consumption is accordingly high the botanical garden and humbug. water has unique properties that make it indispensable to plants and interesting to botanists. its water is the universal substance animals and plants are in large part made of water we can only survive

a few days without it we all start our lives in the womb surrounded by water to live. it's also the universal solvent and transport medium and biology transport and water plays a central role in bodies in cells everywhere and i'm against in parliament. alter is known as the universal solvent because it dissolves more substance says than any other liquid. not just does but also many different nutrients the plants need. trees transport water great distances up the trunks and so that branches and leaves without using a pump. they take advantage of 2 properties of water. and cohesion. adhesion means water molecules tend to stick to other substances even smooth surfaces water creeps up the inside of the test the water level at the edge

is higher than in the center. 'd cohesion water molecules tend to stick to each other. as many as 30 drops of water can form a liquid bubble on a tiny 2 cent coin. and gravity whens out and the water pours away. adhesion and cohesion enable water to flow upwards in a plant. capelli action takes place when it he's into a surface is stronger than the cohesion among the water molecules. then rises to stand a cheap in groups and stops all trunks. and copied. in capillaries which are tubes of less than 2 millimeters in diameter water can rise to a certain height. the narrower the capillary the higher the water can rise as would

be eliminated by i'm fortunate and choose the elements of woods there which water's transported have an average diameter of 50 micro meters that 0.05 millimeters that's how narrow the troops are in them water can easily rise to a height of 5 or 10 meters from what i've seen. but how does it get to the top of a huge 100 meter tall tree for that to occur evaporation comes into play. with dunes water evaporates in the leaves of the trees crowns that causes suction in the capillaries it's like what happens when we drink from a straw. but also clean the function yet i would use it and see transpiration the loss of water as vapor at the top of the tree causes the pressure differential which sucks water up to such amazing heights calm comes. the if operation also has a cooling effect that's one reason why it's cooler in and around forests.

in winter water can become a threat to plants because of another of its properties negative thermal expansion most materials contractors' that temperature drops that holds true for water but only down to about 4 degrees celsius if it gets any colder water than expands again about 9 percent when it turns into ice. that's because an ice the water molecules group into a crystalline structure that takes up more space than liquid water. plants have a way to protect themselves against this expansion. sugars dissolved in water but then plant cells serve as an anti freeze disrupting the formation of the crystalline structure and thus lowering the freezing point of the water by 5 or 6 degrees. a glass of water will turn to ice in a freezer within an hour or so.

a sugar solution stays liquid for longer. some aquatic plants have developed other ways to defy ice. the water soldier. for example spends the winter on the. ice doesn't form at the bottom of a sufficiently deep body of water. has to do with water is negative thermal expansion. the water soldier we see here has developed a particularly interesting strategy because the view is almost of human it's an aquatic question by floats at the surface in summer it has a rosetta leaves and white flowers for good. enough function even as it gets cooler in the autumn the leaves start to sink in just sent to a depth where ice usually doesn't form is pretty common. the white of water above

except the pressure on the water molecules compacted into the result is a constant temperature of about 4 degrees the fish also went to ice free to eps but this caught for example fish at 80 percent water and also need to protect themselves from freezing. when spring comes life trends higher towards the surface . we humans are about 70 percent water. while the internal temperature of fish can vary a lot without harming them to be kept constant. so when it's hot we sweat. in a cool park and now we know why it's cool under the trees. that's all from tomorrow today we'll be back next week with more science stories until

then stay healthy and date here yes.

this is due to reduced line from berlin citing again the latest fragile truce between armenia and azerbaijan crumbles amid renewed violence despite a u.s. brokered ceasefire there has been no let up in fighting in disputed nagorno-karabakh region we'll hear from our correspondents on the ground also coming up a royal rebuke to germany's foreign minister warns thailand's king you can't conduct politics from german soil pro-democracy protesters march on the german embassy in bangkok and demand an investigation and what is a team of provocative players to do when their league is put on ice or the answer is practice practice practice even with no competitive matches in sight we'll tell

you about germany's ice bears and the knock on effects of the pandemic. mark thank you so much for your company everyone the latest attempt to end the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan appears to have failed just minutes after a new cease fire came into effect on monday morning both sides accused each other of violating it all the truce which was brokered by none other than the united states was the 3rd attempt to end the conflicts over the disputed nagorno-karabakh region fighting flared up again in the mountainous on clay 4 weeks ago. and has been finding out more about the civilian toll of this conflict she filed this report from the town of barga in azerbaijan it's about 20 kilometers from the front line. he fires live shows

us where he used to live until very recently. to see a rocket take his house in early october he says. so. carthago it's quite off base sure that. his home for 35 years burnt down to the walls i never got over that the whole family was sitting here watching t.v. and suddenly there was an explosion in the backyard everything started burning we ran outside and called the firefighters but when they arrived it was already too late for me. and memories. want to go far as elliot is convinced that our 1000000 is responsible for the attack the neighboring country deliberately bombed many civilian targets in the

area he says. we can't independently verify this we are not allowed to move freely near the front line we are only allowed to film with the as of a john eales or a tease let us film i thank this school in bardolph for example even if it looks like it the children here are not students. they are refugees this has been in emergency shelters since the fighting started a month ago i. was right at the end friends a memorial for a fallen azerbaijani soldier everyone here is convinced that their army is fighting for a just cause the school vice principal doesn't believe that their votes have been attacks on armenian civilians. and laughed at us and then.

i don't know much about what's happening on the armenian side i only know what i see on t.v. here but i can say that the armenians are losing and must retreat so they don't have any other options if we are not to. trying to take armenian territory we are fighting for what belongs to us tended. to. be has been at the school for a few weeks now with his wife and 3 granddaughters there from tower tower right on the border with no go nuclear about lately the clashes there have intensified. that. i'm worried about the girls they're just kids they were so scared of the fighting how are they supposed to know what explosions often they should go to school and study but they shouldn't have to learn what bombs and missiles sound

like all do that boom and that. at the moment the children seem safe. is about 20 kilometers from the frontline but nobody knows when they will be able to return home or whether it will soon become too dangerous here tonight. and we have team coverage for you in the armenian capital your van is interviews airing tilton and joining us from azerbaijan is you yeah hi i want to begin with you and you'll hear another ceasefire bites the dust what went wrong this time. well the new ceasefire quickly collapsed in the morning and what we're seeing once again is azerbaijan and armenia blaming each other for violating the deal now as you mentioned this has happened 2 times already so many of us here on the ground covering this conflict didn't really expect that this new agreement would turn things into a more peaceful direction we've been hearing the sound of artillery shelling since

the early morning and we are quite a distance away from the front line about an hour's drive now it's impossible to understand and verify fired 1st but as we speak the clashes continue and as a johns president has made no secret in recent days and weeks about what he wants he wants to retake. about and he has insisted that his country has the right to reclaim its territory by force he also claims that his army has made significant military gains in recent days so for him it seems there are not too many incentives to stop an arab what about armenia i mean what reasons are they giving for another ceasefire that did not stick again. well the perspective here and yet of on is that the armenians actually continue to support the ceasefire efforts we've seen statements that effect both from the armenian government and also from the ministry

of defense they're actually as you would say in their enthusiasm by john of actually breaking this ceasefire 1st and saying that some of the claims to the contrary are part of a broader dissin for mission campaign on the part of azerbaijani authorities at the same time they also admit that there is fighting going on we've heard media reports of soldiers reporting widespread small scale skirmishes throughout the front lines and there has also been reports that. the ministry of defense and. the news really mean as a by johnny drone so while publicly they continue to support the ceasefire efforts they do admit that fighting is going on in that the current cease fire really does look like it's crumbling right now we're back to square one it seems that yulia but this had a really high profile backing i mean you had u.s. secretary. personally this cease fire they came late into the game the u.s. why did they step in now and apparently they have no leverage.

so the u.s. is one of 3 regional powers that have been in charge so to speak of finding a solution to this now nearly 3 decades old and conflict the other 2 powers of france and russia the 3 have brokered or had brokered a cease fire in 1904 fragile one but they have failed to secure a lasting resolution to this territorial dispute and what we see now is that none of these 3 power was were able to bring an end to the clashes an end to the shelling of the civilian areas that has left hundreds possibly thousands of people dead on both sides and empty talking about both military and civilian casualties here so the question really is what would it take to actually get. armenia and azerbaijan officials to sit down together and really return to the negotiation table not to us point to aaron i mean what will it take what are the armenians

telling you because we're looking at an expanding humanitarian crisis in the region if this continues well at the moment what we're hearing here is that there isn't really a clear path to a diplomatic peaceful solution at the moment i mean we've had repeated statements from the government here that any any any steps that they would be prepared to accept would be absolutely unacceptable to azerbaijan so it doesn't really seem that there is a clear path to success here i mean in regarding some of these international mediation efforts i've been talking to some analysts here and as one of them put it you know it's nice that a great country like america is actually trying to get involved and work as a mediator but you know they're located very very far away from armenia and really we're looking at a deep seeded regional conflict with roots that go back decades if not centuries so it doesn't seem like there's going to be a quick path to peace here and yet of on fraud path to peace reporting from armenia and you'll johan in azerbaijan for you thank you both for your continued

a team coverage. i want to say now about some of the other stories making news around the world. annabella bruce antigovernment protests have continued with many people heeding a call for a nationwide strike reporting and restrictions are reporting restrictions are tight in the former soviet state but footage shows protesters marching with the opposition red and white flags and umbrellas the walkout came after an opposition imposed deadline expired for strongman alexander lukashenko to step down. japan's prime minister has committed to achieving 0 carbon emissions by 2050 he says green it reforms would lead to major economic growth japan is the latest country to set similar targets following china the u.k. and several you member states. let's turn now to a growing diplomatic dispute between berlin and bangkok germany says it's investigating the behavior of thailand's king who spends much of his time in lavish

accommodation in bavaria german foreign minister who says there will be quote immediate consequences if the monarch is illegally conducting politics from abroad . groups outside the german embassy in the thai capital this morning the diplomatic compound know the latest flashpoint in the country's political unrest that because the king of thailand appears to professor bavaria to bangkok his opponents want germany to investigate him his supporters object. and they try to involve this important longtime ally in thailand entering the affairs why why can't we solve this problem among ourselves. have a long car and is back in the country but he lives most of his time in southern germany

reportedly this entire hotel for long stretches it's caused something of a diplomatic headache for his hosts. version of this obviously i'm also watching the thai king's behavior in germany with not just been monitoring this in recent weeks we are monitoring this long term if there are things that we consider to be illegal there will be immediate consequences and this is all for it to get a consequence and. it comes after months of student led protests demonstrators want to reform the monarchy the constitution for the prime minister to go. but he is digging his heels in. tens of millions of people do not want to see the change through chaos everyone has their own beliefs and believe all their lives therefore we must creatively find a balance between the needs of the individual and others in society. as he spoke

thousands of pro-democracy protesters were again gathering on the streets for another day of activism this time they were heading for you guessed it the german embassy. well to turn our attention to sports now many sports leagues across the world and here in germany have been up and running for some time again now but the german ice hockey league remains on hold meaning players are losing money and patients during the pandemic. a team on ice players of the ice spears in berlin have been training while the german league is on hold with no set return date as it's postponed another month and then another month another month and you know that's out of my control and everyone else and all the guy all the players in the locker room it's up to the management and the politicians to find a solution for us to play. but the outlook is bleak corona virus infections are on

the rise in germany for sports like ice hockey where teams rely on ticket sales to provide up to half their budget it's becoming a matter of financial survival the players suffer because the cap of the teams is calculated on new revenues and if those revenues don't come in then the players have to pay it back. by spirit in berlin's manager believes the players may have to return 40 percent of their salary this has led some to question whether they have a future in the sport as old. as a year that doesn't every player that's reached a certain age where they begin thinking of retirement will now be thinking what will i do next every day i come to the rink and i try to be the best hockey player i can and if i can be the hockey player then i will move on to the next thing in my life and i don't know what that is right now but right now it's all about being a hockey player. the german ice hockey league now plans to start the season in mid december but the current trend makes that look unlikely. tough times for top

berlin thank you very much for joining us as the 2nd wave of coronavirus rolls through europe things are turning from bad to worse for hard hit industries like aviation germany's flagship carrier love tons of announced monday that it's switching into a kind of winter mode here's what that means exactly only a few weeks ago companies like lufthansa thought the worst was over but like its industry counterparts most of the german flag carriers fleet is grounded. of times or is losing half a 1000000 euros an hour it's only operating 25 percent of flights. 27000 of the airlines 130000 jobs hang in the balance. 2 thirds of its employees are already on short time work. officers are being closed down. the situation for the competition is equally dramatic. other industries are also increasingly feeling the effects of the 2nd wave of the

coronavirus pandemic the full institute's barometer of business confidence fell half a percentage point the coronavirus is back or all over europe and that's hitting the economy hard the i.m.f. says spain will be hit hardest this year followed by italy germany may not be as hard hit and the eurozone as a whole is expected to decline by 8.3 percent this year spain and italy have now declared a health emergency and tighten curfews measures which will continue to weigh heavily on their economies. what do south sudan rwanda uganda burundi and of the r.c. all have in common well they're all landlocked country is heavily dependent on overland trading routes but colvin $1000.00 restrictions have made transport especially difficult truckers are seen as risky virus carriers that's led to overwhelm testing centers and long queues at the border but now an app is hoping to make drivers lives easier tell the w.c.
