8:30 am
as you hear, he told the story behind the music i reduced i mean, the world starts to simmer w. . hello and welcome to the program liz show. finland has handled the kobe 1000 pandemic, better than any other european country, with the lowest infection rate on the continent. so what are the fans getting right?
8:31 am
well, they're following the government's strict hygiene measures. the country's also pretty sparsely populated, but there's one other secret to their success. and that secret is for later, in the fight against the corona, virus fins are trying out for dogs who have been trained to detect diseases. this natural and highly efficient method has blown away researchers and politicians. and to that, can you imagine a dog detecting that you have been infected by the corona virus? in fact, they only need a few seconds and the result is reliable. that could do away with swab tests, which are uncomfortable, costly and results can take a few days. we visited helsinki airport to see the new coronavirus detectors in x. . to see isn't just man's best friend. he may also be one of man's best chances to stop the spread of 19. this dog,
8:32 am
who was rescued from being euthanized in spain, can sniff out anything he's asked before this year that included bed bugs more than cancer. but when the corona virus started sweeping across europe, researchers wondered if could see snout could be reprogrammed. the university of helsinki's on a human york minute minute. she initially underestimated him to change over to, for it was a piece of cake. it took its about 7 minutes to figure out that this is what they want me to look for. so that totally blew our minds because she's owner, susana paatelainen has worked for years with skilled sniffers with her wise nose smell detection association. and even she was surprised to see, you know, dog, be able to change training sense in 7 minutes, you know, at helsinki airport. and there's no shortage of volunteers to get results. even these unofficial ones by handing over swabs from their wrist or neck instead of
8:33 am
deep in their noses. the dog scratches positive samples, it's all done in under a minute. for receiving the gift is ok. besides the relative comfort, there's another huge advantage canines can detect an infection even 5 days before symptoms appear. something no medical test can do, allowing people to isolate much earlier deputy mayor of montana and a medical doctor oversees the testing program at helsinki's airport. he was an instant supporter, i concede it to me, it took me 2 minutes. then i started this foundation to granted the wise news organization 330000 euros to conduct a 4 month trial at the airport. so far the researchers say the dog's results are at least as accurate as nasal swabs for which aren't, that is paying millions per month,
8:34 am
which i think it's not may be the best because the stocks will be much cheaper and get the has decided to continue to fund the project past the end of the december trial period. but what supporters really want is federal funding to scale up and spread out to other transport hubs. the wise knows team estimates it would cost just under $6000000.00 euros for the 1st year to train $100.00 dogs plus handlers and post them a key transport hubs. that's just a couple months of the cost of the medical tests at helsinki, airport alone. finally, there's a chance it may happen. parliamentarian, people like you who haven't and has proposed such a budget to the legislature after learning about the canine capabilities last month, it was amazing. so tell him a single part of quito who of an ins conviction is due. she explains to the dogs detecting her own corona virus infection when a nasal test didn't. but she says,
8:35 am
not all her colleagues are on board. she invited him bjorkman and bob dylan into parliament to present their evidence, to who haven't and believes skeptics minds are changing. and i hope we have enough power to do that because i really want to pioneer and a leader in this case because i think those docs can offer so much him bjorkman notes. that's not just true for finland in places where they actually do not have any money to put on on diagnosing equipment, for example. and they have loads of stray dogs walking around. i mean, isn't that a beautiful idea? and she's on a bottom line and is waiting eagerly for the outcome. she's got a visit planned to spain and dreams of rescuing more cruces from shelters there to see the little things back home. more and more africans are currently taking the dangerous atlanta kreutz to feed to
8:36 am
the cannery islands. for many of the journey has ended in death coast guards often only find empty rubber boats. the refugees fleeing from their home countries in western africa because they see no chance of a better life. no employment, a lack of food, oppression, the calorie island of gran canaria is overwhelmed. residents are afraid that their island, which is a popular tourist destination, could turn into europe's new refugee hotspots. almost daily dozens, even hundreds of migrants are rescued off gran canaria southern coast and brought to safety at the ports of many come from senegal, mali and morocco. once on land they have to quarantine. these concrete strips become hopelessly overcrowded. ricardo or take the local fisherman. he's worked in the port since his youth. for months ricardo
8:37 am
and his colleagues have watched on as more and more migrants have arrived on the island. or fishing co-operative, that's all they talk about. one of the stop someone needs to take charge to reach crown canaria michael in stand up to 2 weeks crossing the atlantic cramdown to see on where the boats many have hypothermia from the cold nights out at sea. and are dehydrated, even veteran sea rescue crews are shocked to see this level of suffering. even worse. conditions these people are in physically and mentally. for days. in the part crossing the to reach spain's canary islands is considered extremely dangerous.
8:38 am
but a young senegalese man survived the voyage, but many others were less lucky. as this video documents says the plume of smoke is the burning boat. he says 90 people died in that incident, including some of his friends. he says everyone knows crossing the atlantic is dangerous, but they're determined to reach europe or finagle to make money from their labor. spanish authorities are overwhelmed by the migrant influx. they often put up the new arrivals in hotels that are empty because of the pandemic. almost everyone here wants to move on like an 18 year old moroccan using a translation up on his phone. he asks us how to get to the spanish mainland when
8:39 am
we ask him why he'd like to go there. he tells us that his mother has died and his father lives in barcelona. for now, mohan his friends, are stuck here on an island that's a popular holiday destination. they often mingle with the tourists at the beach. many locals are opposed to this. as the canary islands are dependent on tourism and visitors in the winter season. the situation at the port has become a pressing political issue here. the local radio station is broadcasting live from the refugee camp. they're interviewing gran canaria, the president who says europe has abandoned them. it's a strategy on the spanish government. like many others, is being turned into a sort of prison in order to prevent people from entering the continental europe.
8:40 am
you know, antonio morale believes that europe should take in a share of the migrants to him. it's a matter of fairness. the fishermen at the port agree due to the coronavirus pandemic. ricardo ortega has hardly made any money this year. the locals are struggling enough as it is, he says, if you put all of these people are being tricked, we're going to go put them in a hotel here and so on. but there's absolutely no point to realize i have nothing in the news because i do more to go so the chaotic scenes on other islands like lampedusa and less bus gran canaria wouldn't be able to withstand similar conditions. he says, and the island can't let it come to that. by the end of the year,
8:41 am
spain wants to set up temporary camps for $7000.00 people. on the cannery islands, the message is clear, stranded migrants will not be transferred to the mainland. one ako lifton stein and malta are just some of europe's microstates, and there may be another one on that list. suborder the people living in this italian village wants to have an independent state with their own monarch. and this document from the 18th century supposedly proves that's a bargain never was under italian authority. residents say their village is an autonomous region and they're proud of it. the olive harvest is just days away. it will be a good harvest, says fluffy ogoni, but there's still a lot of work to be done. nona's all of ghouls before you can enjoy the fruits of his labor just like they did over a 1000 years ago. they must do almost everything by hand here in the hills below the leader in town, a suborder,
8:42 am
italy. the tree is 1400 years old and came from the roman buys into an empire. that's brought it to look a long time before said borger became a principality, is it part of the medical profession? suborders sits up on the liguori in khost. the prince of policy of monaco can be seen from up here. the people of suborder would also like to have an independent principal ety, and for over 50 years they've had their own monarch turns away. a princess. princess nina, of suborder, was democratically elected and officially crowned in august. but it was mean and when i got the foreign duty i couldn't from the going german of germany. nina was suborders foreign minister for 10 years and it's popular around the 320 residence. she won 2 thirds of the votes to become princess. for the i just,
8:43 am
i do anything in my power not to disappoint them. and it's fun. i like wearing the crown for photos or found national holiday. the fact that all of these people came to the coronation wanted my autograph, and sent a postcard of me around the world that such an honor to paris ever gave me have proven that they're serious about independence. taking matters all the way to the european court of human rights. they were unsuccessful, but are already preparing their next step for the time being. the princess ministers and environmental advisor being inaugurated here are not paid. no matter how small the principality they're always rivals for the throne, about someone from nearby france has declared themselves prince of suborder online to princess diana. it's not worth even engaging with these numbers gotten so, and i don't really take it seriously for i was elected by the people and the people elect their president and says, here anyone else is just an impostor. if you ever caught the impostor,
8:44 am
contraband they suck on. the masonic might like to the markets of borghese very own dungeon. now it's only for the splay now, without independence, the commander can take police matters into his own hands. anyway. you've used to make use of all get you part of the support is a principality even today, right at this moment i've seen the documents. what we demand is peaceful. it's diplomatic. we want the italian state to officially recognize this historical region. bob, we've got the princess's crown can be marveled at the souvenir shop, which is also the main source of income for the principal. maty. as it's not a dependent subordinate, cannot toxics residence they do however, already have their own currency here. so no, actually, no, bob, you know, when you say euro's tends to be easier though you can live a bit in 2,
8:45 am
but this is the principalities official currency. but we still hear zeroes, of course, as we don't have all the different orders yet. the production costs for one cent, what exceed its value for the money, the principality of supporting this. it all just a marketing strategy to encourage tourism locals like flooding. ogoni, just plain rhetorical drought. and this is a whole tradition and not a terrific one. of course it's tourism helps us. it makes this place nursery decorating and the fact that people come here gives us the possibility to make things work better in our principality, writer for me. but surely, the m.p. pushing for the principle of these independents in this idyllic corner of the telly, the number of europeans dying from cancer has been going down in recent years. but
8:46 am
there are still a lot of people who are hit by the disease. it's particularly tough for parents whose children have fallen ill in the small town of cent. in western france, dozens of children have been diagnosed with leukemia over the last years. parents are alarmed by these mysterious cases and are now desperately seeking answers from the authorities. good guys, this is radiograph with a new video. this is a long one, used to run a you tube channel with lego tutorials. deserves a name was described to my chum. so this is my but one day everything changed and one's mother 17 has the date tattooed on her arm. we went to a restaurant that serves good organic burgers. a long took a bite and suddenly ran off to the toilet after he called for me saying he felt
8:47 am
unwell and couldn't keep anything down. that's when i realized something was very wrong. because everyone was hospitalized and diagnosed with leukemia. that's when his 2 year battle with blood cancer began. musical did saloon wanted to protect us. he kept many things to himself, to stop us worrying. he wasn't scared of death. the psychologist told us. but he was scared that we would be very sad after his death. only one died in his mother's arms at age. 1117 is a nurse and doesn't believe his death was a coincidence. several children in and around the french town of samples on have developed blood cancer, including 4 children at this elementary school. among them, the son of not treatable. 6 in the senate,
8:48 am
but since $26.00 turning out 6 months have gone by without a child getting leukaemia once he was or 6. tomorrow it could be yours or yours and or mine. you don't know which child is next, but you do know there will be another case against them on this. so we decided to ask the parents were desperate to find out what was causing cancer in their children. could the transformer be to blame? it was built beside the school in 2015 for the wind turbines. what about pesticides medication for local eating habits? the parents urged regional health authorities to investigate why so many children and was suddenly falling ill with cancer. but the study showed there to be nothing unusual about sun design.
8:49 am
took about 600 samples. that knocks out tens of thousands of data values. we tracked the air quality of the buildings studied, the soil and water quality. we tracked for radiation levels and electromagnetic fields. and we found no dangerous levels of anything. 17 couldn't believe it. she shows us the survey she was asked to fill in for the study. there are no place i would be less gins about substances. that how are you supposed to find the cause when you don't ask about the manufacturers you use for baby food? diapers? milk powder inside. well, you know, since then more cancer cases have been recorded in and around town. the most recent one was reported in august since 201522 children and teenagers have been diagnosed
8:50 am
with cancer, say their parents, local men have been our mother, y'all, is in 2 minds across from it. if we can understand the parents who have to go through this problem, that this is about their children's health, after all. but i also think we shouldn't blow this out of proportion in the media. and we need it in their studies. so we can get to the bottom of this in the not so distant future when we know nothing. but that needs to change fast. parents say they've hired researches to look into the problem. think a so-called cocktail effect may be of work. when several environmental factors combine and become toxic, the french municipalities are also reporting a rise in which among children, many can recover after treatment, but not everyone. 17 still looks after a once a little guinea pig. no one will bring back my boy
8:51 am
in the corner, but we're certain that we can find out what's causing this since save other children is awful. severin says she owes that to her son. anyone needs a 17 year old from southeastern turkey is one of the most successful food inside grammars in his country. now, if you're on instagram, then you know that pictures and videos of mouthwatering food are very popular and that is exactly to has passed. and what has made him a social media sensation, hundreds of thousands of people watch his posts. apparently, the key to his success is simplicity. 17 year old tom, her dog was lives to cook. his little sister mary lake is capturing his every move on video. today they fired up the clay oven known as the tan deer,
8:52 am
is making particularly a traditional flat bread. it's a famous dish here in turkey. i've prepared to go. now we just need to have the top of this flat bridges much like my mother's. now it needs baking, i hope it will taste good. this has around a 1000000 followers on instagram. he's been uploading cooking videos since last spring. the turkish teen shows viewers how to with up a lot from a few ingredients. and in the coronavirus era, he's clearly struck a chord became a social media star almost overnight. the village of duvets is a world away from most social media influencers. located at the southernmost tip of
8:53 am
turkey, most of the 500 residents earn a living, working the fields or doing odd jobs. behind this wall on the opposite hill is syria. tell how grew up in these parts as the 11th of 12 children i've been interested in cooking since i was a child. the older i got, the more i liked it, and the more i got involved in a few of those around me were against it. in my family as well. we've never been well off financially and they didn't want me using up so many gradients. his family's poverty is one of the reasons toher left school at age 10. well, another is that he suffers from anxiety, which makes it hard for him to travel in cars or buses. so he spends most of his time at home with his mother, mary,
8:54 am
him helping her with the cooking and baking. that's often made him the subject of cruel comments. the neighbors would often say, why just talk, how do you think they never approved of what i told them, why shouldn't he? because whenever i cooked, he always came running in and watched me so enthusiastically. and now he's better than i have almost forgotten how to cook because he just does it now. well, we'll probably have become so famous that he's earning a bit of money on instagram from ad revenue. his local community has also taken notice and fixed up an old house for his family. as it is, i hope that now my followers will stop making jokes about how old and small our kitchen is. i had to hear that a lot. they'd say your kitchen is dirty. hopefully that won't happen anymore. i'm so happy. i don't know what to say. all those lives and it almost
