question to journalist dave groan about really depends on how big these protests get there picking up steam do they really become something massive and also these work stoppages that are going on across the country do those continue to grow and if the generals find that there is this economy is just really sliding down its economy it's already been battered by quoting 1000 but if it's lose the ability to keep the economy running at all well then they may find themselves backed into a corner senior gentlemen on long the commander in chief he has put his chips on this risky gamble for total power for him there's no turning back even if it means that he has to use deadly force but keep this in mind this is something we do not know does he truly command the loyalty of all the times in units across the army is he really have the loyalty of police officers across the country we do not know there is a chance at some point there could be some division in the ranks that's something we need to keep an eye out for. we turn to brazil now where the country's top prosecutor has opened an investigation into president gyre bolsa naro over his

6:10 pm
expected there. well lots and lots of snow to be frank it's a tale of extern in germany at the moment because a poll of vortex is sending i see down from the arctic while at the very same time a warm front is sending. polar warm front i should say is sending warm weather from southern europe and basically where those 2 weather fronts meet is where the real fun happens as you say up to 50 centimeters of snow expected lots and lots of wind and ice rain and of course when all of that happens. all of the traffic chaos that that goes along with an extreme weather events such as this one sure and if it's not in a part of the world where people are used to dealing with that kind of weather it's
6:11 pm
a very big deal and how are people preparing there. well the police and authorities have told people basically to stay at home and people are used to doing that because of the coronavirus hand i think for a long time now people have been staying at home more also what's seen happening is there's lots of more equipment out on the highways to clear the snow that he's going to comment also some cities like girls and have prepared extra beds for homeless people. ok if you give us your greed reporting from hanover thanks for that. and while we're bracing for snow here in germany in other parts of europe something more unusual has been falling from the sky sand and it's come all the way from the sahara across the mediterranean brought by strong winds skies as far north as switzerland took on a fiery glow of light in andorra snowy ski slopes turned orange underfoot as they

have given themselves a boost even though they stay in the other automatic red relegation place. you're watching the news of course life in berlin up next our text magazine shift at look at how ai's paving the way for smart prosthetic limbs i'm a spicer thanks watch. what secrets lie behind these walls. discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. w world heritage 360 get the apps now. the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. how has the rate of infection been developing. what measures are being taken.

what does the latest research say. information and context. the coronavirus update the coalition special monday to friday on. shift special artificial intelligence is taking the way to smart prosthetics. this high tech prosthetic camino controlled by thought home thanks to the robotic limb chris patterns of movement. of former this benefit from this technology. this robotic hand can learn to cooperate with its wearer thanks to artificial intelligence. is its teacher and
6:17 pm
also its owner. today both khandala 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 has to be just of me having to adapt to the system it's a game changer i don't have to think about what i want my robot to do for them it's 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 auto box she specializes in teaching patients like. how to use their
6:18 pm
ai based robotic limbs the initial training process takes several weeks this specially designed to cuff is fitted with 8 pairs of electrodes they recognize tiny movements in the muscles of the upper arm and app visualizes these tiny movements and stores them as movement patterns. is good and of looking for the cuff and are connected by bluetooth and in them inside the cuff there are lots of electrodes. these tiny impulses in both kinds of muscles will be transferred on to the out. wolfgang bauer 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
6:19 pm
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. it 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 image with the missing hand the system can distinguish among those imagined movements and then carry it out through a robotic limbs like this are a major increase in quality of life controlling the move this is just amazing you
6:20 pm
have to do is imagine opening your hand and the robot opens imagine close it and it closes same with rotating the prosthetic arm just carries out the movement. 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 systems to provide sensitive feedback to their wearers so prosthetics can then actually feel as 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 you just have to keep trying it some movements work right away while others require more time and for that practice important. 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 euros. 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

. with the criticism of the electric posse says that means i can control it using muscle impulses that are detected by electrodes in the device i can open it and. it . exists 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 coded 19 pandemic hit. the pentagon 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. this was federal institute of technology or zurich decided to go
