from the quality of fashion from the big top this is where if they are. welcome to the 77 percent. this weekend b.t.w. . the human brain is thought to be the most complex organ in that show world and it has over 85000000000 neurons. and a newborn baby actually has an even higher number. throughout the early childhood the brain continues to develop as does the memory. even the most powerful computers can't match the human brain in many respects but computers are being taught to read brain activity allowing human beings to control them really with the

power of thought. well come to you tomorrow today with an exploration of the human brain and the world of thought. our brains are constantly working take vision for example we see football a shot to the right. the ball is our range. our eyes take in what we see that information is passed via the optic nerve to other parts of the brain in the form of electrical signals these signals can pass through the brain's neurons at a speed of up to 120 meters a 2nd. at the connection linking one iran to another the signal has to bridge the tiny gap known as the synoptic left before continuing on. there is no one central location. in the brain where

a thought is developed we think by an entire network of neurons distributed across the brain. so detecting a single thought isn't easy but computers are learning to do just that. getting ready to play a very special computer game one that doesn't require the use of your hands a game that soley powered by use. if it was their 1st so it's really interesting to try this out for myself and when i think that in 5 or 10 years time we could be turning the oven of the lights on and off at home like this it's pretty amazing stuff not respond is the future we've come to the sensory motor systems lap e.t.h. institute in 06 switzerland scientists here are studying how humans and machines can interact the video game is connected to the monitor via

a headset that can read the brain's electrical signals to those on this device consists of an electrode which is a conductor that can detect changes in frequency very well if we think about wanting to carry out a particular movement that triggers electrical activity in the brain just small differences in frequency that can be measured by this electrode. right now the electrode can only detect 2 commands concentration which causes the characters to speed up and relaxation which slows them down the players have to respond deliberately. when i want to concentrate i try to solve mathematics problems in my mind all recitals alphabet in reverse to relax or close my eyes for a moment and try to disprove deeply sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. technology is still quite basic but the game shows what's already possible in the realm of brain computer interfaces perhaps we'll soon be able to control our

electrical devices at home with our minds. has a different goal for years he's been exploring how humans and machines can interact for medical purposes. for example if people with paraplegia could control this robotic exoskeleton with death thoughts they could once again become mobile. but the technology is still in its early stages. these would have to be very reliable and safe see exoskeleton must stop for example when the patient wants it to as yet it's still difficult to achieve that reliability to become a major global players such as facebook invention a huge market for this technology and a pumping billions into its development why if you could type directly from your brain. instead of typing you could just sink your messages directly into your smartphone facebook wants to make this future vision a reality in just

a few years. a kind of brain controlled typewriter already exists researches at stanford university have developed a system whereby people can we think letters into a computer this enables not 10 paralyzed patients to communicate with the outside world. you eat all you need to do is a mandarin moving your right arm for example to the water team on a keyboard and all slide out to the teeth and in addition to that we're also able to turn when you wish to so what but what are you patients can type up to 40 letters a minute but in order to use the technology they have to have an electrode implanted into their brain. they also need an alphabet table to choose the letters with their eyes and. this system would not be useful as an everyday tool for people without

such disabilities from your brain. and there's another major problem that stands in the way of widespread use. one think that on people constantly think of other things so they get distracted and you might also be driving a car at that moment or walking through these processes overlap in the brain without making it almost impossible to pull a text message out of your mind as things stand right now and also it seems scientists from the university of freiburg are researching how to separate the various processes going on in the brain tonio balland philip k. meyer use e.g. waves to make these processes visible this shows the difference between moments of high concentration and chaotic everyday situations. here here you can see these classic e.g. alpha waves they appear when our test subject just closes his eyes so now i'll

shake your head a bit my prisoner cop. orders then be strong waves appear. you know not spend it's a hindrance if we want to get to the actual information that the brain is thinking because this disruption distorts the whole thing and for months you want to come. to filter the correct thoughts from the chaos they use a deep learning process in which the computer recognizes brain activity on the basis of e.g. wave patterns that it has already. to teach the system these patterns test subjects are asked to repeatedly make a movement in this case raising the right arm the computer now learns that the brain wave pattern created represents the desire to move one's right tom regardless of the n.t.'s there is. the scientists have taught this robot how to recognize a specific command. using only his thoughts the test subject asks the

robot to fetch him a trick. the robot recognizes the specific brain wave pattern and carries out the task. a reason to celebrate perhaps about the scientists are also concerned about the potential implications of that work because it can only function if machines are taught to read new real activity data and this is very risky after all what might happen if corporations like facebook had access to the brain activity data of millions of people. when it comes if huge amounts of brain activity data were stored in one location for the benefit of learning processes it might be that more very relevant information could be gleaned for example lead group level and from you could distinguish between gender or ethnic background all things that we don't

know at the moment but it would make sense to think about how to effectively protect this data before simply handing it over and consider whether such systems should even be given to consumers and for. the plans to brain control devices has already been paved even if they exist mainly in research and development at the moment facebook as well as other companies are in the starting blocks in the race to conquer afterthoughts with technology. the human brain is likely to remain a source of fascination many of its inner workings are still a mystery but scientists have been able to debunk some of the myths surrounding the brain. one involves. a dios mozart who lived from 17. 562-7918 study from the 1990 s. claim that listening to his music could make you smile especially his analysis for

2 pianos in team a chance. at gannett huge public interest and became known as the mozart effect but the results of the study could never be reproduced the mozart effect is a myth. still music that we enjoy can stimulate the brain and have a positive effect on us. one of our viewers in the rock have asked about another commonly held misconception concerning the brain. do people really only use 10 percent of their brain. then surely telep a theory or telekinesis would be no problem if people could finally access 100 percent of their brain power. michael lucy in the film of the same name. while the rest of us bumble along at a pivoting 10 percent. that's a myth that is more hollywood the reality. using only 10 percent of the organ that

consumes the most energy would be a huge evolutionary disadvantage. even asleep we use far more than a 10th of a brain. no one knows exactly where the persistent 10 percent myth comes from it's been mr tributed to many people including albert einstein at my heart back to a misunderstanding of a theory positive by psychologist william james under student boris cedars. the cedar says son was a child prodigy. at 18 months who reportedly could read a newspaper. later it was claimed that he had an i.q. of 254000000 james then said in a lecture. people only meet a fraction of their full mental potential. but he said not. thing about 10 percent or part of the brain remaining unused. pop culture has also helped to

perpetuate the myth. of course some areas of the brain may be more active than others but none are completely idle if they can't receive stimuli they'll find another job to do. for example in blind people the visual centers of the brain can adapt to help process or true signals. but brain cells tend to atrophy if their own news. quite apart from conscious decision making the brain has plenty to do filtering impressions regulating breathing controlling reflexes hunger and thirst and much more besides. the fact is only people who suffer real brain damage can no longer use certain parts of their brain. the rest of us can access all of those billions of brain cells.

the brain of a newborn baby possesses many more new runs than that of an adult while in the womb the brain grows that an average race of $250000.00 neurons per minute. that it's still not fully did that the brain initially develops many more semesters than it actually needs it was hard to comprehend the world and to remember. babies are curious and attentive become a watch somebody do something remember it and then do it themselves that is imitate a simple action. 6 months old and she's observing closely. you can pull off the toys here and shake it like a rattle. after a brief pause it's layers turn she's clearly noted the trick with the air. that

shows she's developed some memory for a sequence of events. but that's only one of many stages in the development of memory. psychologists at frankfurt university tested $1000.00 children extensively over a period of 5 years. they wanted to find out what stages children go through until they develop the ability to remember events from their own past and then go on to have an autobiographical memory. the ability to recognize oneself is a prelude to being able to remember things from one's past can morrow recognise herself yet. her task is to wipe away the mark on her face with the help of america is the senate is it a mark. why don't you mark touches her face she recognised herself in the mirror not all children can do that at one and a half. benjamin tries to wipe the mark off the mirror instead.

of finds the image in the mirror upsetting. look wipe it away usually it is a bit older. north america way clean it of the us recognizes himself in the mirror but he still got a way to go to develop an autobiographical memory. is all to be altered by a graphical memory is the queen of disciplines within memory and it requires many different components which children don't have when they 1st arrive on the planet. the ability to remember past events is one of those components you leave us recognizes himself in the mirror and on screen what's not up there. it's a bit of red tape there where is it. can't you lose connect the past situation he

sees in the video to the present that would be sensational as you really are so still rather young for that now and for what it is what do you see the red thing is kind what is it you can you give it to me. when you take it off the video off grab a fan and listen to the arctic doesn't just require him to recognize he was there on the screen the strip of paper was attached to his head a few minutes earlier he also has to understand i existed a few minutes ago and i remember that happening so the paper might still be there only then can you look for it on his own head. by the time therefore most children can complete this task with that they're already much closer to having a full autobiographical memory. remembering an experience is the next stage. tony is 6 and he's shown a scene from 2 years earlier. do we still have this straight.

we tend those cars and drive them along the street right now because the situation he also talks about other adventures without any video prompt knows that was he there was this i said to light didn't get away in time and it went off. tony had to work hard to reach this stage and lest we forget here's the video to prove it. times how good is your memory what did you wear to that party one month ago a red dress or was it the blue one. what did you eat something healthy. or fast food. are you sure maybe you got it wrong. did you have an argument with your friend. well one thing's

clear memories are not always as reliable as we'd life. we all have minor lapses of memory from time to time we find ourselves thinking i could have sworn i put the keys on that shelf. after an anxious search we eventually find them. on the desk. our minds play games on us and london based forensic psychologist julie assur says it happens far more often than we realize. again and i like to compare memory to a with a pedia pay inch you can alter it but so can others and i like the analogy because it describes how flexible our memories are and how they can undergo massive changes in everyday life as well as an extreme situation and explains at what cost of an uncle. in experiments sure has brought 70 percent of participants over the course

of 3 interviews to have memories of a crime they never committed. and they remember it in all its complexity as if it really happened to. give details emotional details where you think that can't possibly be a phone memory and it sounds as if this person really did it to thank you mattered self declared perpetrators and victims can turn out to be nothing of the sort it happens time and again. in germany in 2004 a man admitted to chopping up his fiance's father and feeding him to dogs he said the victim's family helped him carry out the gruesome deed. but 5 years later the police found the man's car in the danube river and inside they found the corpse of the allegedly butchered would be father in law all in one place.

near the monument and the fact the more you question someone the more their memories can change and that is important for the police investigation methods. as it means that we have to take into account that repeated interrogate. sions can lead to a suspect adding misinformation to their memories misrepresenting things in a very major way. in australia in 1975 a woman was raped and then gave investigators a very detailed description of her attacker he was soon found and arrested but he had a water tight alibi he was doing a live interview at the time of the rape so if he could not possibly be the rapist why was the woman so sure he was. in this case the answer was quite simple she'd watched the interview on t.v. just before she was attacked the woman had confused the face she'd seen on t.v.

with that of the rapist. to mention that when people who are involved in the criminal justice system like police officers and lawyers often say that they would recognize a false confession or a false memory when they encountered one once. but that's not true these situations are incredibly difficult to understand for everybody so we can see if someone is lying and we can't see if someone has a false memory that that led to a nightmarish situation for a man in the united states in the 1990 s. while undergoing psychotherapy his adult daughter suddenly came to believe that she had been sexually abused by him for many years she said that had resulted in 2 pregnancies and she had tapped to abort the foetuses with a wire coat hanger. but then it emerged that the woman had never been pregnant much

less had any abortions she was in fact still a virgin. juliet schor also consults as an expert on criminal cases and provides training to the police. have primary aim is to teach investigators to. avoid suggestive questions that can elicit false memories. sure says it can happen very fast. then it is either as one being about if you think the person you are talking to you know small and even knows more about you in your life than you do then you can soon start thinking yes what if that is what happened on the what if this can quickly turn into a. perhaps consume because yes that is what happened. false memories can lead to false statements and to terrible miscarriages of justice . incidentally studies show that we are much more likely to notice negative things

than positive ones that make sense from an evolutionary point of view allowing us to recognize problems and dangers and to resolve them but it can also prevent us from shrugging off things that aren't important. however we can retrain ourselves for example by taking time to remember the good things that we are happy about. benefits are known to have a very good memory and those social animals like most primates including humans then there are social predators that hunt in packs studies suggest the brain can reveal how sociable and i'm a list dolphins for example have been shown to be extremely social animals but other species also appear to be more selfless only realized. it's well known that parents are pretty smart birds but i think also helpful to each other. is an african gray and lives in laurel park zoo on 10

a river in the canary islands she and her friends have been helping the mox plant institute for ornithology with an experiment about social intelligence and cooperative knows. the parents quickly learn that they can exchange a token for food. but in this experiment bella has a problem she can't swap her tokens for a treat because the window is closed instead she hands them over to her friend kimmy kimmie then swaps the tokens for food through her window bella gets nothing this generosity without any immediate favor in return surprised even the researchers because until now such behavior had only been observed among some green apes and humans. in the 2nd experiment the parents are given a choice. a blue token means only one of them gets a treat

a white token earns them both a snack they soon work it out and choose white which benefits both birds even though the other one has done nothing to earn or treat him. me parents are evidently helpful and not envious. the researchers think this has to do with parents' lifelong monogamy. they prefer solidarity to selfishness. if help what is right right are good but i'm very happy to have a size question that you've always wanted on thing that we're happy to help out and send it to us as a video text ovoid smell but we also it on the show will send you a little surprise as a thank you come on just ask. and for most stories about the world of

1700 years of jewish life in germany our series this week on arts and culture we journey from berlin to munich to meet cultural leaders commemorating the past taking creative risks and building community 700 years of jewish life in germany. this week. insulter by d.w. . the fight against the corona

virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection been developing. measures are being taken. what does the latest research say. information and context. the coronavirus of data the code that seems special monday to friday oh and b.t.w. . our. favorite. hang the fuck about the effect on. the us at. first but as i have.

i'm. a. parent who has family and there. and i have told them. i will follow. my. they're my i want. well we're arming. them with. what i am. yes.

this is the new is why from the renewed street protests in me and mob with media reports of shots fired at marches in mandalay thousands turn out across the country even as police break up peaceful demonstrations with troops on some city streets that affairs of a violent crackdown also on the program problems caused by germany surprise i'm sudden imposition of border restrictions with austria and the czech republic to keep our coronavirus fact.

welcome to the program. local media reports in man must say security forces a fight on protesting crowds in the city of mandalay though there's been no official confirmation of injuries or deaths the military has deployed extra troops across the country as it intensifies efforts to quell a popular uprising a coup 2 weeks ago triggered mass protests and international condemnation so far the generals appear to. me in mars' military junta has sent in the big guns soldiers are patrolling the streets a sign that the crackdown on pro-democracy protesters could escalate since this month's coup the military has given itself sweeping powers allowing it to detain people without court order. to imagine though if you've done it today here we can see military vehicles not police security like before they've tightened security at

the central bank because this is the mainstream of the country's money in circulation they are afraid the central bank will stop working so that's why they have deployed the military vehicles here the order. but the demonstrators are not intimidated bank employees have joined engineers doctors students and even soccer players and refusing to go to work. you have to believe them you're going to people's actions won't stop because they have already taken the 1st step which is the most difficult one people are marching on the streets and they don't care if they are arrested or shot we can't stop now the fear in our minds is going away. the release of civilian leader own son suchi is a key demand of demonstrators she was scheduled to appear in court today but the hearing has been perspire and until wednesday meehan mar does not have an independent judiciary system she could be kept in custody indefinitely but as

government workers join the civil disobedience movement it could eventually become difficult for the military to keep the government and the hunters hold on it running. well let's get more on this from he's an activist and young go in order to protect his identity he is using the voice filter disguising his face welcome to w when i was seeing soldiers on some city streets rather than police which looks like i'd ask elation out how tense is the situation that. oh thank you theo well yes. the tension is heightened because people have already been living in fear worry about many things including order to arrest a notorious and recently released 22000 prisoners potentially terrorizing the neighborhoods so we'll need an expert at the military's show or force these days

but still civilians are very anxious about what could happen naturally because we have seen a similar tactic or pattern in history $3988.00 and unfortunately this pattern just cost us more just as and of with russia so this time around you know civilians want that part of the story to repeat itself and people are encouraging each other not to use programs and respect human rights in handling these kind of situation under this their circumstances so you can help in forming networks groups to. a bigger problem ciphering enter outline for us why you are protesting i'm told that you've been on the streets yourself what took you out there especially given that the police and the army are against you. on august leak we did this couple of days well on here then very careful person of the pictures or later mentioned before are seeing that this kind of military force in

the city is not really a good song it to me is a potential critical so although almost or wrong to photos on i didn't or a list starts doing more and more mystical doing just document of the core test that for example or i saw a protester today with a song sitting in despair or you know it's either you die or you die because you're not ready to this time around and what the leaders i do want to peaceful solution rather than acquire the important station so 'd this is what people don't read well they're still afraid that this the want to point in this will see them for. what do you think a peaceful solution can look like because you think that the country has had a peaceful solution and many didn't go the way the generals wanted and where here where we are now what's to stop them doing this again even if you get what you want . well at this 'd given circumstance it

is really hard to find what is the peaceful way out because from one side people are not stopping the little difficulty they are. due. to clearing or encourage or the encouraging people to participate is that with this all the just movement because this only steal the last time in the last 2 or 33 years ago it didn't work because there still isn't enough to offer as it is in the only other than the authority of the town in that it doesn't seem to be willing to let you go there for that so it's really hard to see what is there to school at the warranty towards any possibility happen so we're just living with just living in a sea of this was an old and briefly if you would my dad i was on searchings court hearing was perspired and to wednesday today what was your reaction to that.

all. this someone who grew up with this plan a new system in which you. don't have many homers only this point or as you say this to this troll or trojans or the war in their parents because we don't have any restrictions system here so literally just for extended postponement or do whatever they like indefinitely so well many columns on it. or control room will take so much for joining us as activist load nay from young go it will take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world the world health organization says it is at ministering vaccinations to contain an outbreak of ebola in the democratic republic of congo and guinea west africa has declared a new epidemic of the disease following an outbreak in a town near the lyme border live near the liberian border where at least 3 people

have died. of course in turkey has sentenced human rights lawyer and cascade to 6 he is in jail on charges of membership of a terrorist organization charges related to miscast skins of former positions honorary editor in chief of a pro kurdish newspaper that was outlawed after the failed leadership coup in 2016 a misty international has described the verdict as an appalling injustice. derrius in goes you have a conduit a way and a has become has been confirmed as the next director general of the world trade organization making her the 1st woman and the 1st african to head the body the confirmation comes after u.s. president joe biden supported her candidacy for president trump and previously blocked it effectively paralyzing the organization. and kate ferguson from d.w. business we'll have more about story and about 10 minutes. the authorities here in

germany have severely restricted travel from the czech republic in parts of austria to stop the spread of highly contagious corona virus variants detected in border regions. suspended his tune from affected areas and police officers at frankfurt airport checking passengers arriving from prague the european union has criticized the shutdown which is causing major disruptions. all along germany's eastern and southern borders many are worried and few are pleased the new travel restrictions came into force over the weekend creating road congestion and leaving many commuters feeling blindsided. yes you have it sent back. i'm from austria and i'm taking my son back to his mother i'm not even allowed to drive through germany. as of sunday many borders that were hardly noticeable before are now blocked by checkpoints only travelers who meet a small list of criteria are allowed through such as workers from

a list of essential industries presidents of germany and even then only if they can show a negative coronavirus test a spokesman for the federal police says in the 1st day about half of all travelers were turned away. from 10000 vehicles on the 1st day about 5000 were sent back but i'm. with the delays companies are concerned about disruptions to vital supply chains austria and the czech republic both rank in the top 10 among germany's trading partners. the current infection rate in germany is under 60 cases per 100000 people in most areas in comparison regions just across the border in the czech republic range from nearly $500.00 to more than a 1000. german authorities say the snap measures are necessary to preserve the gains against covert 19 made here in b. . weeks. we have

a situation where we have to do whatever is necessary to prevent piracy that are significantly more aggressive and can bring significantly more infections with them from spreading in germany. as quickly as they have unfortunately spread in neighboring countries. but many who have arrived at the border say they needed more notice and more clarity germany's regional leaders have promised more details on the rules to be provided in the coming days. or take a look at some of the nicest developments in this pandemic starting in south korea which has scaled back its initial vaccination target because of delays in vaccine shipments that government also says it will not be administering the astra zeneca vaccine to people over the age of 65 now a large israeli study shows the biotech pfizer vaccine to be highly effective at preventing serious illness israel has vaccinated more of his population and you

have a country 1st vaccine doses of arrived in australia and new zealand quarantine hotel workers will be amongst the 1st to get the jobs and england open to quarantine hotels today in an effort to keep out new covariance passengers from 33 so-called red list countries will have to spend 10 days under the new border restrictions. germany's blunders league of football and front champions league dreams received a boost after beating cologne on sunday frankfurt a looking strong when the goals just keep on coming as they continue to ease past their opponents. the hooter's frankfurt hadn't lost at home all season making them one of only 3 teams in the blunders league to make that claim a win against cologne would bump them up into 3rd place. and after a scoreless 1st half frankfurt hit the target courtesy of andre silver his 18th of

the season the 2nd most in the league and what a beautiful touch it was. and then frankfurt doubled their lead late in the half a van and vica doing the honors this time it is pinpoint header leaving the cologne keeper with no chance. to nail it how it ended and audi which is frankfurt stay home and are staking their claim to a champions league spot. and bruce emotion glad back marco rosé is to take over as procedure dortmund coach when the current season ends both in this new clubs have confirmed the news bloodbath put one over on dormant last month putting forth too many sore as rosie's old dishes for the top job he signed a 3 year contract with a black in helos who struggled to hit top form this season has been without a permanent head coach since sacking lutes in

a far from in december. and the 2022 winter olympics are about a year away and beijing's making major strides in developing one of the toughest race tracks in alpine skiing built specifically for the games the facility will soon enter its 1st testing phase the 7 racetracks are particularly challenging because of the 800 metre drop beijing is also thinking beyond the olympics the country hopes to convert the center into a training and leisure park after the games. and germany may have a reputation as one of the world's leading beer making and beer drinking countries and it's brewing tradition certainly goes back a long way but not 5000 years that's a joke what archaeologists in egypt believe is the oldest be a making factory in the world the broadway of the agent city of abbey dos was capable producing thousands of liters of beer at a time historians believe the trick was used in boiled burial rituals for egypt's earliest kings or perhaps the ancient egyptians just like

a good part. well for me at the top of the hour d.w. business news is next with take photos of the. german. and jewish. i'm jewish so was. does that mean. in daily life. and at school. in the summer we should not be given a special status but be completely normal. this look of shock like wow there's a jew at our school that's the bad thing 11 teenagers 11 stories.

ok so i'm jewish and so it's. german and jewish starts feb 22nd on d w. the world trade organization has a new leader and goes the o'connor away is the 1st woman and the 1st african to head the organization she's already told the w t o is how to be strong if global trade is to become. on the pandemic we'll ask our correspondent in lagos what we can expect from her leadership and how she plans to tackle the job riccio's many challenges. also coming up illegal traders in cameroon are making big profits out of selling stolen fuel from nigeria. times the party's over before it even has gone with the revelers on local businesses more than the consolation of carnival celebrations in rio de janiero. this is d.w.

business ferguson thanks for joining me the world trade organization has a new boss her name is and go 0 condo in her path to the top job with cleared after she got the backing of u.s. president joe biden who reversed his predecessors decision to block her appointment condo weyler has held several high profile positions including nigeria's finance minister and managing director of the world bank she'll be both the 1st woman and the 1st african to lead the w t e o. to find out more about what this appointment will mean for the future of the world trade organization let's talk now to t.w. correspondent flourished in lagos hi flourish good to see you what more can you tell me about go 0 concho way. she served as nigeria's 2 time france minister and she has been researched she's

respected the manger as someone who voted brought reforms to the. finance sector now she helps the contrary to clear of some of its 4 ream debts and she also helps to try and so press the black market. so she's really well respected him a. very strong you know finance person ok so she brings with her a wealth of experience that is much needed because in the last few months and years the global trade environment has seen huge are people what is she going to do to restore order now she referred to herself serve only as the reform candidate and more what she has said that she's going to do is going to try to unify the world trade

organization she's going to try to bridge the gap between of course u.s. china europe and part of what she's also set out to do us harm priority to really quell the effects of the corner virus pandemic on ward economy and also health so yes she's really ready to heat the ground running as soon as her tenure begins march 1st let's look more closely at the world trade organization itself figures it's been facing a lot of internal struggles especially when it comes to dispute resolution what kind of reforms can we expect from her. well again like i said she's refer to ourselves several times as the reform candidate so she's saying that she's bringing a fresh new set of eyes and ears so the world trade organization and how our one

of our major plans to unite the world trade organization and she's also served as she's planning to bring the war. to speed with 21st century realities things like economize things like involving women more in in medium. small and medium enterprises things like that so those are the kind of things as she's concerned about in the watch it are going to ization she's also very concerned about dialogue among countries she's said that it would be a problem if there are only a set of rules that quote she is should follow without claire dialogue and so she is she's ready to download between the different members of the world trade organization so are soo in how all words rejuvenates and revitalize the
