dave i'm curious are these protesters a vocal minority or a rising groundswell well some of the more than a 1000 people on the streets of yangon marching that was the biggest that we've seen so far overall the number of people actually doing street marches to demonstrate they're clearly in the minority but we see the powerful images at night of people banging pots and pans from their all means but even the street protests are slowly picking up momentum and they clearly have the majority of the population on their side interesting tactic don't today's demonstration in yangon they ran into a police roadblock where the police were standing in a line there was a barricade set up with barbed wire and you're seeing the demonstrators off at the police water i saw one report where they were offering them flowers keep in mind the rank and file police officers they do not live well they have such assistance level living and so the protests are trying to tell them hey don't stand with us who stand with us it's an interesting tactic to try to get the police over on their side. protestors are calling of course for the release of aung sun suu kyi

she's an immensely popular figure there despite a tarnished reputation in the west of course what does she represent to the people in miramar she represents the fight for democracy keep in mind during the previous into she spent 15 years under house arrest fighting for democracy she is an icon in this country you go around the country see her photograph in people's homes both in the cities in the villages the only person that wobbles her and their history for popularity is her father general the independence hero who was assassinated when she was a girl that's dave in kuala lumpur thanks much dave sure thing. and to your now germany has some in the russian ambassador over the kremlin's expulsion of swedish polish and german diplomats russia accuses them of participating in illegal protest against the jailing of opposition figures alexina

the kremlin made the announcement while the european union's top diplomat. was in moscow he described the blocks ties with russia as being under heavy strain. it was supposed to be a day to mend strained ties between the european union and russia but when 3 diplomats from sweden poland and germany were expelled from russia friday evening the message was clear and so was the response. we consider these expulsions unjustified and we believe this to be yet another expression of what we're seeing in russia it is far from the realms of the rule of law. in. russia alleges the diplomats had participated a print of on the rallies berlin insisted that staying informed about ongoing issues is simply part of a diplomat studious that they have started with the 1st just several of the e.u.'s foreign policy chief was the blocks 1st envoy to visit russia since 2017 his

meeting with russian foreign minister sergey lavrov aims to keep lines of communication between brussels and moscow open but tensions continue over the imprisonment of kremlin critic alexei navalny. going charged with arrest and sentencing. under arrest of sabs and with the most traitors. i think and respect i have to convey to minister lavrov our deep concern and great rated i will be able to release one to launch an investigation of peace by joining. the e.u. had to put additional sanctions on hold and while lover of stressed that russia wanted to improve relations he did not mince words we put it we looked on we have gotten used to the fact as i have already mentioned that the e.u. more and more often use this one sided restrictions which are not based on any

legitimacy at this stage we have to assume that the e.u. is an unreliable partner but your book learning you're not done with that throughout the visit was barely over when the diplomats were expelled and despite all efforts to improve communication some actions speak louder than words. so how will the european union respond to the expulsions of some of its diplomats from russia earlier we put that question to bruno a senior fellow at the german marshall fund. well i think 1st of all we need to understand that the events today were not a coincidence this is really russia showing its muscle telling the look what we can do we can expel your diplomats of certain you member states even though the top foreign affairs chief of the e.u. is with doesn't town actually trying to appease relations so this was really poor

ring on oil on fire and let's be frank a significant diplomatic provoke ation from russia to europe so i think there's 2 options for responses the countries to whom the diplomats belong germany poland sweden could these sites for instance to some of the ambassador but also decide to for instance expel russian diplomats from their own territory this this could be one option at the national level i think the author of shouldn't would be a e.u. wide response from the european union and then of course we talk about sanctions. sanctions of course are complex issues only last month where you foreign affairs ministers were sitting down in brussels around the same issue and they failed to agree on imposing new sanctions on russia there is no unity in the e.u. around this so that window of a portion of the last the next the fortunately might be perhaps next month there will be an e.u. summit in brussels for heads of state and governments and there of course leaders

could examine the possibility to introduce new sanctions having said that though the summit as only next month which means as a diplomatic relation is pretty late it's pretty slow. highlighting now some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour tens of thousands of farmers have blocked highways across india to protest against new agriculture laws the blockade is the latest action in more than 2 months of protest farmers have been camping outside new delhi demonstrating against laws that they say benefit big business at their expense. u.s. president joe biden has said in a television interview that he believes his predecessor donald trump should not receive classified intelligence briefings due to his erratic behavior briefings or courtesy that historically have been granted to go in presidents but the white house says the practice is now under review. in chile demonstrators have

clashed with police during the latest round of anti-government protests hundreds trip to the streets of santiago on friday where they were met with tear gas and water cannon. persisted for more than a year demonstrators are angry about inequality and want social reform. to brazil now where the country's top prosecutor has opened an investigation into president. over his handling of the pandemic in the city of announce a new more contagious variant of the corona virus has emerged there pushing up infections and driving hospitals to the breaking point overwhelmed with covered $900.00 cases clinics lack beds and have little oxygen to give patients. at least according to a state government which made this video showcasing the new hospital with 80 fresh

beds. but this is closer to the real situation i'm in now a makeshift clinic with a couple of oxygen tanks patients fighting for breath and this is worrying that things could soon get even worse. we're most afraid of running out of oxygen. we need a lot of oxygen because so many people are sick. just bad in the isolated amazon the virus the 2nd wife is also washed over brazil's mega-cities these graves in rio de janeiro testify to its toll with some 800000 deaths rayo it's now the worst affected city in the country. it's mismanagement that play into these previous tests. the way the crisis at its peak was managed practically visited genocide on the city of rio de janeiro lives that

could have been saved were lost on this is sara lee. of this fault the federal government's response and the country's leader jaya both. even when he was ill with the virus last july he kept meeting supporters. and hundreds of times his repeated decision from my shit about. comparing it to the flu and promoting a cure which hasn't been proven hydroxy clerk when but now he's admitting that drug might not work was like i say the chances it works is 0 it was a placebo i can't find a give me challenge least you didn't get. many also angry at the country slow vaccination program with hundreds of millions to inoculate officials now say the older more devices of the chinese vaccine sign of back which reported on the 50 percent prevention figures in the brazilian trial. some other developments in the

corona virus endemic now here in germany the number of new infections keeps falling health authorities registered 10500 new cases in the past 24 hours a night time curfew has again been imposed in havana the 1st weeks of this year have seen more corona virus infections in cuba than were recorded over all of 2020 and the world health organization has called on vaccine makers to dramatically boost production the w.h.o. stress that almost 130 countries with 2500000000 people are yet to administer a single dose. in the bundesliga her to elin hosted by in munich in a mini blizzard byron white faced by the elements winning one nil to go 10 points clear at the top of the table the bizarre ians had hoped to make short work of the capital club before jetting off to qatar for the club world cup but her were not prepared simply to roll over. versus buying a match up well worth watching as half

a typically up their game against the record champions for recently rehired coach paul darvill i it was a 1st home game back at the helm and his side put in another strong effort by and did win the penalty in the 11 minutes which saw robert lewandowski step up he scored all goals in this season's previous 43 victory over how to this time he was denied by whom the yosh line back between the posts under the new coach and repaying the faith. however he could not prevent by in scoring 10 minutes later kingsley commom benefited from a hefty deflection the frenchman put in a lively performance and was rewarded with a slice of luck. after the break how to held the fort and kept counter-attacking they even hit the back of the net just before the hour mark only to have the goal ruled out for an offside position in the build up. the capital

what measures are being taken. what does the latest research say. information and context. the coronavirus of data the code with special monday to friday on t.w. . shifts special artificial intelligence is paving the way to smart prosthetics. this high tech prosthetic can be now controlled by thought alone thanks to high the robotic limb hers patterns of movement. are performer is benefiting from this technology. this robotic hand can learn to cooperate with its wearer thanks to artificial intelligence.

voice. is its teacher and also its owner. today both gone balik can use his. robotic arm to carry out amazingly precise and fluid movements for him the ai based technology has opened up a new realm of possibilities. there isn't much of this system is the fact that it is. just me having to adapt to the system it's a game changer i don't have to think about what i want to do think it is just does it automatically of them are. both gone by is a farmer who lives in bavaria in southeastern germany. tending to his crops and livestock is all he's ever wanted to do but after a farming accident his lower arm had to be amputated to continue farming he needed an artificial limb. daniella versed deferred works for the prosthesis

manufacturer autocar she specializes in teaching patients like. how to use their ai based robotic limbs the initial training process takes several weeks this specially designed coffee is fitted with 8 pairs of electrodes they recognise tiny movements in the muscles of the upper arm and after july's is these tiny movements and stores them as movement patterns. as the cuff and are connected by bluetooth in them and inside the cuff there are lots of electrodes these tiny impulses involved will be transferred onto the. worth gandara is learning how to use his robotic limb the tiny muscle impulses he's learning need to be as distinct as possible that way the press that it can link each impulse to

a specific movement. is not starting from scratch even after an amputation the brain remembers the patterns of movement needed to do things like open or close a hand once muscle impulses become associated with specific movements the robotic limb will use ai to learn specific movement patterns. the electrodes inside the robotic limb register the muscle impulses from the upper arm. the app matches these muscular patterns to specific movements and stores them. while both kong was learning the basics the company's engineers were building his robotic limb now it's ready to learn and adapt to both gone by was movement patterns. all the patient has to do is imagine carrying out all the elements with the missing hand the system can distinguish among those imagined movements and then carry it. through a robotic limbs like this are

a major increase in quality of life controlling the move this is just amazing you have to do is imagine opening your hand in the robot in corpus imagine closing it and it closes same with rotating the prosthetic arm just carries out the movement. the more. german prosthetics manufacturer auto bach is charting new territory the technology only works on for arm prosthetics but that might change soon. and researchers are working on making the technology even more sophisticated. but right now we're working on systems that provide sensitive feedback to their wearers so prosthetics can then actually feel some point i'm sure will be able to provide feedback on temperature or the information about the surface of the object being touched. it will

take many more months of training and therapy for both gone by hour to continue refining how he uses his intelligent robotic forearm he's made a lot of progress already with a lot of patients and practice he and his robotic limb will eventually become a well oiled team. if you just have to carry with it the risk of when something doesn't work if you just have to keep trying it some movements work right away well this require more time for the practice and for worse practice will help the ai based device continue to learn and improve the high tech robotic arm the training and therapy and the customized fitting cost around $60000.00 euros both kong dollars model can perform 14 different grasping movements and hand positions it's precise enough for typing

on a keyboard or using a mobile phone. each finger contained separate small motors that allows each finger to move and grasp objects in a more natural and coordinated manner and he can swap out the hand depending on what he's working on when he's cleaning the barn he uses a sturdy one that can only rotate. and clothes. the more delicate hand can perform most any movement. quite honestly i can't imagine my life without this plus this i use the prosthesis all day long depends on what i'm currently doing i use for everyday purposes at home too for things like. there are so many things i use it for. and thanks to his robot arm wolfgang bauer can still tend to his farm.

i'm one of a kind championship as cybertron developers from around the world present their newest technical assistance systems to competitors car pilots compete in a range of disciplines. the media course and he's been wearing a prosthetic hand for more than 30 years. outfitted with some very clever technology he's competing in the side both long arm discipline. he's determined to win. colson lives in the swiss capital of bad he's turned his home into a training camp. he's recreated the site with lawn course here in his own apartment every day he practices all sorts of hand movements with his prosthesis trying to be as fast and precise as possible the

tasks are challenging but this is exactly what his prosthetic hand was built to do . this is a woman who allegedly posse sees that means i can control it using muscle impulses that are detected by electrodes in the device i can open it fixed. it. says but it didn't include that function. which feels more reliable to me. and is the most important thing to me. long 2020 was supposed to be a major event all the planning was complete but then the covert $1000.00 pandemic hit. the pandemic wouldn't be over anytime soon and that we'd still be dealing with this september but we decided to change the format. for

a lot. of the swiss federal institute of technology or zurich decided to go virtual the events would be held in cities around the globe from moscow to tokyo to durban. side both law on 2020 global edition was to feature $51.00 teams in 20 countries around the world. but as they headed into the event no one knew whether they could actually pull it off. meanwhile in durban south africa another competitor was also in training despite various lockdown measures and the developers at team touch hand were determined to make the best of it they also designed this hand themselves and made it using a 3 d. printer in order to participate in the side with lawn they even had to recreate the

furniture used for the obstacle course all the other teams use the same products made by a large furniture manufacturer which doesn't deliver to south africa. this side both lawn rules are very detailed and very strict. game day. in switzerland corson is here to show what he's made of. he struggles a little with lighting the candle but it stays lit. the pyramid of cups comes at the very end. and so is the rest of the. just now he has

to wait for the results. yard so yes i'm just getting tired but the other competition videos are streaming and some of the prosthetic arms are truly remarkable really want is intriguing with regards to the set from. africa and will pilot louis ledecky in south africa to complete the tower of cuts. all over the world so the old fast worked from the it's the 1st time bad cause and gets to see his own performance in. the big rip is tight enough but even the announcer is amazed by his strategy to caesar's features are you changed the whole hand faction that i am. now he so did he make it to the final here. this

time bad course and came in 5th just narrowly missing qualifying for the final. this is other then. i'm so proud of my team we perform really well showed what we can do to prepare for a really big and now we're going to go out to eat. we're going to make a half field goal it's like guys always all. go. in the end could not love me hitch pilot for team maker hand from croatia took 1st place but at the end of the day every team succeeded in demonstrating the remarkable potential of intelligent prosthetics.
