and american football fans are gearing up for super bowl 55 in florida many are trying to figure out where to watch the game the pandemic is fueling fears that super bowl parties could turn into super spreader events. welcome to the program. military junta has cut off internet access across the country as a protest against this week's coup crowds of people took to the streets of the largest city young gone on saturday to denounce the military takeover riot police blocked the streets using barricades and water cannon many of the protesters wore red in support of arrested leader. resistance appears to be growing this demonstration in yangon is the 1st such mass
10:02 pm
public protest since the military took over the country on monday among the chants military dictator fail fail democracy wind and demands for the release of elected leader aung san suu kyi authorities were not far away army chief men on lying seized power on monday alleging fraud in a november 8th election won by aung sun suu cheese and l.d. party the electoral commission dismissed the army's accusations. now the country's internet access has been severely reduced independent monitor net block's says meehan maher is in the midst of a 2nd nation's scale internet blackout with connectivity at almost half of ordinary levels other reports say the military government ordered the shutdown of facebook and twitter claiming the spread of fake news protests against the military coup have also spread to other countries in melbourne australia hundreds of
10:03 pm
demonstrators expressed their concern. right there show you know why says too that the military knows that we're not gonna stand back and let them do whatever they want him. off. and in taiwan hundreds of members of the me and mark community there also came out in force. the woman. who found these had more than 30 years of repression from the military government with them thankfully we don't want to go back to that it'll be cool play with a few months and so we hope our next generation can live in a country like taiwan where everyone enjoys civil rights would think i was right we are here today and i like it. despite efforts to silence protesters in myanmar calls for an end to the coup are still loud and clear in the country. and for more on this we are joined now by her in london he is the director of that blocks the
10:04 pm
angio that monitors cyber security and governance and the entire internet giving mr chalker your organization has for years now been following monitoring how governments turn off the internet to to stay in power what do you see in him are. well it's been an x. ordinary week i mean you know you could start you look at when incidents which he was deposed monday by 3 am the internet was partially cut so there was there was a blackout already information control essential to the way that this was done this this uprising and coup was done in an information blackout a vacuum where people can speak up where people couldn't share their opinions and we've seen this progress in different ways we've seen facebook the most popular platform in the country talking not long after by by tuesday wednesday on various writers in different ways because the ministry was not very clear in the months
10:05 pm
they basically said block basic and providers did it any way they could so it's been a calamity it's been really operators trying to push back say they don't want to not these platforms but then being closed in compelled to do so in many cases and what does it mean that to the protesters and indeed to ordinary citizens or may not be protesting when the internet is switched off in this way. it's extremely distressing so you look at some of the muslim social platforms ok these might be worked around there are ways there are tools but then once people start to work around these tools use might go to twitter as well and authorities also not twitter so. step by step people are losing their ability to communicate and when the internet as a whole scott's become restricted at nation scale then this is extremely alarming
10:06 pm
and. people who have no option they are stuck with or they're on the street protesting or at home are powerless and voiceless and this is a complete progression this is going to send country back decades absolutely decades and it you mentioned there are ways to work around it there is there are there is a technology available to to ordinary people it's not too complicated. you know since 2019 we've tracked social media blackout. countries and each one of these incidents has a different story a different mechanism but when social media is restricted you can actually get work you can use a virtual private network to tunnel to the outside world. this is a challenge to authorities and they will also try to book the ends and that's what we've seen happening we've seen this passionate. restriction as of
10:07 pm
saturday morning today we saw that connectivity dropped to 30 percent and then 16 percent nation scale so users couldn't connect to the internet so there will always be those ways of diminishing over time and these days people don't have satellite phones they move it's not the ninety's where the media had and and a way out people can really relate nowadays on the internet which is perhaps the key issue ok well thanks so much for that insight altucher director of that box from london today is the international day of 0 tolerance against female genital mutilation the u.n. estimates that some 200000000 women and girls around the world are affected by f g m here in germany more than 70000 are thought to have been circumcised a young woman is now sharing her own story in order to sound the alarm about the practice and to help the times. challenge here kumar was

10:17 pm
both gone by if it's 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. and isn't one huge advantage of this system is the fact that it has to be because of me having to adapt to the system that is 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 is automatically the market. 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. she specializes in teaching patients like. how to use their
10:18 pm
ai based robotic limbs the initial training process takes several weeks this specially designed cost is fitted with 8 pairs of electrodes they recognize 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 and then them on inside the cuff there are lots of electrodes these tiny impulses involved will be transferred onto the. construction. 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
10:19 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. 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 was learning the basics the company's engineers were building his robotic limb now it's ready to learn and adapt to both was movement patterns. all the patient has to do is imagine carrying out all the lives with the missing hand the system can distinguish among those magic 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
10:20 pm
have to do is imagine opening your head and the robot opens imagine closing it and it closes same with rotating the prosthetic arm just carries out the movement. oh come on this. german prosthetics manufacturer auto box 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 going to systems that 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 patience and practice he and his robotic limb will eventually become a well oiled team. if you just have to carry all that he received when something doesn't work if you just have to keep trying it some movements work right away well this require more time and for that practice important with 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. 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
10:22 pm
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 close. the more delicate hand can perform most any movement. why punish sleeth i can't imagine my life without discuss this this i use a prosthesis all day long depends on what i'm currently dealing with i use it 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. one of a kind championship as cyber the one developers from around the world present their

10:37 pm
equivalent to the amount of microscopic pieces of plastic that we in just over the course of a month 20 kilograms over the course of a lifetime. we do this by simply preaching and drinking water and eating fish the oceans and rivers in particular are full of micro plastics as malcolm hudson a professor of environmental science he conducts research on marine pollution from plastic particles those plastic particles if you like a little time bombs waiting to break down smaller after be absorbed by wildlife or by people and then potentially have harmful consequences. because plastic does not biodegrade it turns up everywhere flooding the beaches and choking marine foreigner and flora plastic production has risen sharply over the past 50 years there are now over $400000000.00 tonnes worldwide per year smaller and smaller particles are created by wind and waves friction and sunlight does so small that they could be
10:38 pm
absorbed into our blood through the stomach researches see this as a danger to humans experiments with. cultures are already showing that large amounts of numbing particles can be toxic. what we can so i think with some certainty is if we carry on at the moment as we're going producing more and more plastic not managing the waste very well eventually levels where our thresholds exceeded and there are harmful effects on the environment and potentially even on ourselves. the total impact on humans is not yet clear experts fear that the tiny particles could trigger immune reactions overly toxic substances into the body just one more good argument to put an end to our love affair with plastic. that all sounds very worrying plastic can really mess up our world it is bad for the animals and for us but i'm scared we won't be getting rid of the anytime soon
10:39 pm
fortunately a lot of people coming up will be trusting solutions to tackle the problem one of them comes from the puppy and it is a pretty cool idea it isn't a regional way of getting rid of the micro plastics what always are on the beach. there's nothing this nozzle can't go up no item of plastic can escape the jaws of this giant vacuum tina crisscrosses use in what's called the enviro buggy to collect rubbish the tree in cape town's beaches because of a shouldst works with the organization see the big picture which developed the prototype a couple of years ago every day an estimated 100000 tonnes of plastic a found in south africa's may need be cheese that's a lot to clean up according to crisscross the beach cleaner can even suck up your
10:40 pm
stick particles just one minute meat so small a special cvs system separates the sun from the past. even 100 people on the branch we weren't really making where we weren't making as much of an impact as we could regarding the micro plastics our best came about trying to make that micro plaster collection a lot more efficient and quicker across and n.g.o.s recently joined forces with a local recycling company on the outskirts of cape town. to full use sought out various items into recyclable materials some 20 people on shift every day even rubbish not classified as recyclable can be put to good use. this is a make or break here so it's all the plastics that cannot be really used to receive purpose to recycle go into one of these. compressed as best they can and
10:41 pm
used as a building material in local building projects and around the community. other initiatives start it's an early stage they concentrate on rivers the community of marina del gamma responded to see resolved missions with different sizes to catch plastic along waterways before it gets to the ocean. peter ryan. a marine plastic researcher at the university of cape town estimates that between 60 percent and 90 percent of marine plastic on the beaches that's arrived via waterways like this one just standing here we can see all of this rubbish coming down the canal here this is a major source of letter that we're concerned about in an urban setting in south africa so poorly managed waste on land getting into waste water systems and being carried down into the sea and initiatives like this where we're actually intercepting this letter before it gets into the sea or starting to make

a significant difference. for the north in the townships outside johannesburg these volunteers are unemployed locals they're removing plastic waste from literature apps positioned in the head office river. to man in charge explains that mountains of plastic that accumulates in the space of just 2 weeks. to start with their mates when they're in the rainy season drying stock exchange and the ranch and its impact in the winter a lot of stuff gets. put up dumps in concerts and stuff sort of stuff that's washed down rain sleet and so it keeps on the whole summer but it will stop its beginnings trying to stop it. not only is the engineer working to be the hang ups of waste this is looking into some of the main pinchy beaches off the pollution and back at the ocean the miss it if see the bigger picture encourages young people to get
10:43 pm
involved studies in south africa have shown that on the clean up to nearly 90 percent of the plastic leaching the bee cheese can be collected still even that is only a 1st step once we can teach them the dangers of marine plastics and they will think that they kill where they live and we'll try to stop that spade at the source so instead of. throwing things on the road outside on the beach will actually be allowed to dispose of anything properly. crisscross and his team are currently operating the enviro body it's been already do the work of about 30 people the plan is to start producing the machine and ultimately return south africa's beach use to be a once pristine condition. while those images remind us that when we moved to keep up the fight against plastic what should we all tend to throw we all too
10:44 pm
much stuff that can actually be recycled. you're absolutely right sandra kahlil silver from cape verde. has come up with a clever way for using cooking. in case their day one entrepreneur is teaching to clean up the environment one part of so at a time. tara very day is an ecological soul which carla silver makes using vegetable oils green clay flower and other ingredients. he tries to source most of the ingredients locally. 8 years ago i started out producing soap from cooking oil. could be used to wash dishes and later i began making this eco soap for people to use in the shower.
10:45 pm
still the desire to help the environment motivated the move to producing ecologically sustainable cosmetic products. everything we use ends up in the sewer which will then contaminate the rivers oceans and groundwater. silver has now lost a major part of the production process. even the machine for uses. made from recycled materials. we can now produce more bars in much less time. if used to take me 8 hours to make a batch now it's only 3 a lot of the steps are automated now. carlos silva hopes to sell his terra vader soap on the international markets soon. then how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website
