diamonds are a girl's best friend well at least that's what an old song suggests but not every friend is a true one right lab grown diamonds taking some of the shine off the 1000000000 dollar diamond business man made diamonds are cheaper and more sustainable and the technology used to produce them could also lead to innovations in other sectors great but if diamonds can be made in a lab can they still be considered precious chris culliver reports. right anybody ever heard. a marketing miracle. in the streets for. is for. the for countless song. movies.

a mish his family has been in the diamond business for 3 generations when you're born in this business you're going to be in this business this is exactly what my grandfather told me when i was in may 20 is. companies breaking industry. there are very few of diamonds was of. a myth created by debris years. kompany there for a long time controlled the production of most of the walls. and which as it's one chairman said increase their value by making them artificially skiers but if other qualities are anything to go by. quickly. for example until the yearly $800.00 it was more valuable than gold that's why it's on the top of the washington monument. and when a poland the 3rd to serve these guests with aluminum dishes but aluminum was never rare just difficult to make of the time with diamonds something similar is
4:34 pm
happening. as far as. production and that technology has actually is. probably the 1930 s. or 960. but for a long time we could only make tiny grains for industrial applications. 4 or 5 years ago we started to see advancements in technology that allowed for production of general quality diamonds and high enough quality to be used and. here's how it works we take a slice of the altar created diamond and it's arranged in a proprietary chamber you arrange those seeds almost like a waffle and you close the chamber you raise the temperature inside. it combination of propriety gases when the temp sure is in the middle 132-1500 degree centigrade between splits the pure carbon separated starts bonding
4:35 pm
this one are big starts connecting with this seat that's sitting at the bottom of the chamber and i mean grossly are by later. today diamonds are no longer considered rare every other girl has one but their properties definitely are. a diamond is only made of carbon. but it's atoms are bonded together enough very tight crystal structure. that's why it's one of the hardest and highly conductive materials on the earth. you can only cut a diamond with a diamond this makes it a wonder material for ins in years it could make screens more insistent solar panels more efficient. lasers more powerful hard drives and much much better electronic devices. and doctors must resist high temperatures and voltages. today most of them are made of silicon but the thermal conductivity of the eye on these 14 times higher and selectable resistors 30 times greater.
4:36 pm
well was it affordable 10 years or 20 years ago. these higher tech applications represent a very very small part of the industry at this point. i think we're going to see. more of the products that we use on an everyday basis 2. and let's not forget we're no longer needing to mind. we're probably never going to have. high tech occasions still need more time to develop. but the future of shine is very bright. so the verdict on the benefits and drawbacks of fake or real diamonds is still out but when it comes to counterfeiting the situation is clear it's

a major problem for the economy causing billions of dollars in damage and what's really worrying it's not just about objects news can also be fake promoting conspiracy theories and even influencing stock prices unfortunately fake news is big business. open the laptop. and check the news shock horror the earth is now spinning in the opposite direction. true of course. none the less the report spreads like wildfire and shed and like people comment on it it gains momentum. thank you news can influence political decisions and manipulation actions undermining democracy. it's easy to make money with fake news. generated locked up when it's online and plenty of advertising revenue and. even bogus items about illuminati or space aliens or hidden forces tech giants also

4:39 pm
own filter criteria some tolerate making news this imply fact checkers and flag and some bad political propaganda. tech companies have the power to create new bogus realities. but uses still have a choice they can spread fake news all stuck at. extract whichever way the spinning . problem is to stop fake news from spreading you 1st need to recognize that it is fake news and that is becoming more and more difficult so called deep fakes recreate voices and facial expressions that look and sound totally real thus putting words into the mouth of celebrities without them even knowing about it imagine the damage this can do to someone's reputation or to business so often technology is opening up new possibilities which can either be exploited or used for the greater good.

attractive models in an ad for a smartphone except they don't exist they are generated on a computer or a bunch of pixels phantoms like the model should do transforming the world of advertising online it's getting harder and harder to distinguish depictions of reality from fiction or fracas and it's getting easier and easier to take footage of real people and manipulated to show something that never happened. thanks our videos are already a recordings transformed with the help of artificial intelligence so cleverly that it's really hard to tell if we are authentic or not. buzz feed was one of the 1st digital news and media companies to talk about this a stunning example is a fake clip of barack obama trashing donald trump and of course he didn't say this
4:41 pm
. or how about this. president trump is a total and complete. to create a deep fake a computer program studies lots and lots of images analyzing facial expressions and the play of muscles to generate new images of say the mouth moving you don't even have to be alive to be the subject of deep fakery the artist salvador dali died in 1909 but the dali museum in florida has brought the master of surrealism back to life. this is the fun side of faking are you likely to say you these very well. but 96 percent of deep fake videos on the web pornographic and almost all of them depict women celebrities such as scarlett johansson and regular members of the public would have. been in australia

4:43 pm
a century we have people you can see these are only a lot around world and another person's life. in 2019 facebook hosted a deep fake detection challenge with a $1000000.00 worth of prize money to spur the creation of new technologies to detect manipulated media. the images of the storming of congress on january the 6th are all too real but imagine the potential of faked images of political violence the u.s. defense department has 2 programs devoted to detecting deep fakes which it calls a national security issue so that's because we already see political polarization with political groups inciting violence against other groups that if technologically generated false information with audio visual content is added to the mix and speaks to the emotions as well will we really be able to determine whether political opponents are calling for violence or saying certain things. the
4:44 pm
thing is that people don't always consume media and a common considered manner reflecting on one is true and real and what is not the offense computers astra's. the time might come when people automatically assume that what they see in the media is fake as it becomes ever harder to determine what's real and that could seriously undermine democratic governance. it's unlikely that technology can be banned the computer games industry depends on it and so did movie makers. face can indeed be entertaining in the 1st in anything and even used for the public good news that david beckham could speak so many languages full disclosure he can't . malaria isn't just any disease
4:45 pm
it's the deadliest disease that's ever been. literally what they. really. speak up and say malaria. the digital age has not only opened the door to fake news and walked realities it's also created a whole new range of careers in the advertising sector lifestyle bloggers and influences tell the audience about life and all the things that are really desirable and important but for influencers polling credibility can be a challenge to stay real they have to choose their collaboration's wisely. andrea funk is an influencer 8 years ago she turned her hobby into a career as a fashion beauty and lifestyle blogger. know how do you earn money with blogging
4:46 pm
and. by doing advertising you promote a certain company post on instagram or do stories about it you can also write articles for a company like i did. write her describe. the 21st century is shaping up to be the era of influencer marketing many bloggers have a loyal following and brands know how to use that to their advantage. when you start working with a company that often do a briefing and tell you that they don't want to see any implausible settings so if you're promoting beauty products you should be in the bathroom or at least at home not in some exotic and unlikely location that. companies evidently think that an aura of authenticity is important as a way to reach their target groups. it's estimated that spending on advertising on social media could reach well over 100000000000 dollars this year.
4:47 pm
blogs about lifestyle and travel but she's been grounded by the covert 1000 pandemic. quabbin i used to travel a great deal about 15 trips a year. that's something not many people can do. a noun i'm stuck in cologne i haven't left the city in months and that new. lockdowns are making companies and bloggers look for new sources of revenue. waiting for my lin the hotel home office through this hotel chain is offering rooms as work spaces an alternative to working at home. and is now doing ads for them under german law she has to mark such blocks as advertising. nonetheless her followers often ask because she can afford all the nice trips and hotels as if she had to pay for them. so it's
4:48 pm
somehow fake. i don't fake anything and i often make that clear i think. i sometimes think people delude themselves into thinking there's no difference between traveling for work and going on vacation as if we were all just fun perhaps they just like that image. can you even post on instagram without a filter. no really andrea funk has 70000 followers look my face is mega bright it's the wonderful night here in tel aviv my face is perfect and lit up by that. she won't tell us how much she can. post at least 4 times a week. of course you film yourself when you're feeling good because that's when you feel like communicating with nobody likes to show their face when they've been
4:49 pm
crying or feeling down the trouble is that gives the impression that life is nonstop wonderful because you're not showing the other side. with these kinds of everything should look beautiful and feel authentic whether it's fake or not is not so important. well fake or real the answer to that question can cost you a fortune especially if you splashed out on a product that turns out to be fake take bauhaus furniture for example the legendary art school has been around for over 100 years and its designs are still highly prized classics because they are so sought after they are often copied much to the chagrin of the official manufacturers. this lamp is a classic it was designed in 1924 student. felt it was not commercially marketed at the time but today it is one of the most
4:50 pm
popular products and one of the most copied the table lamp is now manufactured by techno lumen ingrain men it's the only company in the world to have an official license to do so it was granted by viacom felt himself the head of the company has been fighting against counterfeits for years. to make the sale of fakes generates at least as much money as we make with our products. for a bargain filled lamp to count as authentic it has to be constructed according to the original design details count the metal parts a nickel plated the stem and base of this variant a made of glass the cable is cloth covered and the foot of the lamp has a. stamp on the internet countless vendors sell bauhaus classics you can buy what is called. for 70 euro's the real thing costs more than 6 times as much.
4:51 pm
the only objects that are copied there's also furniture like the barcelona chair. tilting at windmills and more fakes are always appearing all licensed manufacturers like us have to fight them if we didn't it would probably mean the end of authentic replicas like ours. it wouldn't be possible to manufacture a real for 70 year as the production is a lab. is assembled by hand the parts come from original suppliers and authentic license sells for around 400 feet. copyright law is complex and differs from country to country techno limon pays a lawyer to pursue the makers and marketers of an authorized replicas of often
4:52 pm
they're just letterbox companies one might say it's a limited company based in london on but there isn't actually anyone there it's warehouse full of fakes might be in italy and the phone number you find that it's online shop might be in germany so the on the money often flows all around the world by a panama or wherever there are definitely criminal outfits behind all those. teachers and students at the bar house design products and buildings they put on exhibitions and published magazines it's not just its product designs all the architecture that has become legendary. the bow house is sometimes considered to have been ostia and severe but it also had its colorful and playful side andreas weber's says the zest for life it embodied has often been

looked. they had fun they partied they were disciplined in their work and the way they pursued their ideas but they were personalities and they had a lot of fun with each other. because once i realized that the heaviness was gone. suddenly i could totally relate to it and that helped me make something new and of our time. between artistic. new tendency is a design studio in berlin that sees itself in the tradition of the powerhouse revolutionary. supplies modernist principles conceptual design clean a statics and functional form the products are hand crafted in germany it was founded by 2 brothers manuel and christoph manuel studied at the bauhaus university environment he does not recreate bauhaus products he designs new ones in the spirit
4:54 pm
of his a previous s's. we didn't want to make things the way they had always been made but to wipe the slate clean. and really start over that mentality and that approach is extremely inspiring. i see reduction caring down as a mega trend in society. less is more. it was intended to be an ironic catchy slogan my bauhaus is better than yours but the design studio got into trouble for that bauhaus is the name of a chain of d.i.y. stores in germany that company took them to court because it had obtained the rights to use the name back in the 1960 s. . we got this cease and desist order we had to remain ourselves.
4:55 pm
that was a catastrophic start to our new business. element have. respect i'd say that energized us and really got us going up the company. without a balance after the change of name to tendency the company as it is today probably wouldn't exist who this is and then saw. with success comes the risk and the honor of being imitated only copied counterfeiters make life tough for those who make the real thing it's a testimony to the intellectual and emotional power of the bauhaus that it still inspires both emulation and fakes. i'm not sure that's a comforting thought for the real bauhaus autists but i guess fake some part of today's reality brings us to the end of this edition of mate thank you for joining

this is the debris news live from berlin the police file charges against ousted leader aung sang suu kyi no one has heard from the country's former civilian leader since she was arrested in monday's meanwhile the nationwide campaign of civil disobedience against the military to absolutely take over is corrupt also on the program the fight against corona virus gets a boost after advanced trials indicate the freshest but making the vaccine is more than 90 percent effective against countries 19. the u.n. says martin i quit culture is the main driver behind the loss of biodiversity and that changing the way we eat is the key to saving the planet it's.
5:01 pm
time for gail welcome to the program police in manama have formally charged ousted leader. with breaking and import no authorities say illegally imported walkie talkies were found at the hope the accusation forms a legal basis for missing cheese detention and she could be facing up to 2 years in prison and nation a national campaign of civil disobedience has been growing since last week since this week's military coup protesting medical workers say they will not work for the new regime. that's got more from dave grohl about who's been covering them up for many years he joins us from kuala lumpur and talk us through these charges day welcome by the way the import irregular hours in a few walkie talkies doesn't sound serious enough to warrant summary arrest and perhaps did and perhaps 2 years in jail. yeah well the new military regime is
5:02 pm
just taking a page out of the playbook of memoirs old military regime i mean this import export law the way it's written is so arcane that you can basically take just about anything and twist and turn anything that was important or export and twist and turn this law around such a vague law and make it as if this item broke the law that's how this is in fact the thing here is those that went on sun suit she's in a stray she came into office 5 years ago a lot of people encouraged them to scrap this law to get it out of the books because some of her supporters during the days of the old regime the old who would have been jailed under well they did not do that and now this law is being used against her so how people likely to react. well you know we have seen some civil disobedience already in myanmar mean last night we saw people banging pots and pans hang on their horns as a show of protest against the military coup today we had people in hospitals who
5:03 pm
are demonstrating against the doctors and medical staff demonstrating against this military takeover but the real question here is down the road are we going whether it's days or weeks or months ahead are we going to see some sort of mass protest mass demonstrations of people on the streets of the and got other cities in the country i've spoken to a number of contacts in myanmar in the last couple of hours they tell me people are furious about this not entirely surprising figured something was going to come they weren't sure exactly what it was and what it would come to but they say they are absolutely furious the question is no one really knows is this is what going to push people over the actually they would have these mass demonstrations because if they go that route if you look at past history here the mammaries military in past years in the old dictatorship was known for crushing these type of demonstrations with violent force and sometimes deadly force so for the public now to come out and go for this would be a big risk for them to take is one of them you just saw somebody along the road my
5:04 pm
next question because what i was going to ask you what the playbook says about a military judge said reacting to civil disobedience because it's hard to imagine soldiers going in and beating up a hospital doctors and nurses who are refusing to work. yeah it's hard to imagine that i mean one of them especially with a pandemic going on you know some are not some are refusing to work some are working but they're wearing you know ribbons to try and show their their loyalty to the l.d.n. aung sun suu kyi and keep in mind here you know i have spoken i spent years in myanmar and i've spoken to soldiers who had told me that they had voted for the end of the not as lax election in november but i haven't been there since then to talk so it was then but the election 5 years ago so it's hard to know the numbers what percentage of soldiers did but there are some soldiers in the ranks who do support the n.l.b. the question is if there was a mass demonstration orders come what happens then thank you so much for that's
5:05 pm
david good about all of a. sure thing. tennis take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world starting it's a day where the former european central bank chief mario draghi has agreed to try to form a new government of national unity the previous coalition collapsed last month after a spent a party withdrew its support as the druggy often referred to super mario is widely credited with saving the euro zone during the 2012 currency crisis. world health organization experts have visited a research center in the chinese city of rouhani as part of their investigation into the origins of the corona virus pandemic who have is where the virus is thought to have crossed over from animals to humans that china disputes this. britain has asked the e.u. to extend the bracks a grace period until 2023 year old into media reports it comes after threats were made against port staff and checks were suspended the extension relates to good to

this cage it's not a show of strength it shows their weakness they are weak. and they cannot jail thousands or even millions of people. outside the cavalry arrived early. lines of riot police stood in front of the court not to keep the inn but to keep his supporters out. as the day progressed police detained hundreds of supporters would come to show their solidarity. age was no barrier this woman stood her ground in defiance. as night fell on moscow the protests grew. but so did the presence of police in riot gear and the arrests.
5:08 pm
the tension is a price these protesters are willing to pay to speak their mind. we're going to go to i don't want my children to grow up in the same conditions i did alex say is trying to do something at least you know bali has just been wrongly convicted the country will never be free if this or do so and the courts behave like this it looks like they will soon start beating us with a baton again but we came out so that our children won't be beaten with batons in the future. soon enough the police proved him right. there but tons directed indiscriminately at. anyone in the crowd. in the volley supporters are taking risks in the hope that the next generation won't have to. try new data suggests that russia's very vaccine is more than 90 percent effective western governments of initially had initially expressed doubts about the job because russia started years
5:09 pm
before completing the usual clinical trials now results published in the leading medical journal the lancet appeared to back up russian claims that the job is safe and works and hungary has already started using it. truckloads of russia rolling into hungary the 1st 14000 some 2000000 doses ordered the distribution of vaccines in the european union just not quick enough for hungary. the faster we vaccinate the weakest segments of society the quicker we can lift restrictions on public life . as we've just got to chicago with our shot sputnik beat was the 1st vaccine developed to fight coke at 19 russia began vaccinating people with it last summer even though clinical trials were underway hundreds emergency by last gave the vaccine to greenlight that's because sputnik has already been administered at least a 1000000 times without any serious side effects so hungry has decided to sidestep
