when it happens they go on to make a quick sketch and then always love it. so that's when i feel like maybe a little more. chris predicts our life will move into virtual reality more and more in the next few years. some corporations from the us already using need to let the employees collaborate to find crap or brainstorm. but there's also companies who want to use me n.p.r. to present their products better for their customers and offer a more memorable and more engaging experience basically every time you know somebody tries an experience like this it's. emotional connection. which you're building with the other participants and the experience itself is much stronger than anything you would be able to achieve through a video. and i must say that's true at least for me. i mean i'm aware the whole time that this is just an illusion but i feel like i'm bonding with

chris and by the way this is what he looks like in real life. in the future we will actually be able to have our facial expressions are brought as well and we will in a way be represented like holograms of ourselves so you will be able to have an exact replica of yourself in virtual reality just like you do in a video call and in addition to that have all the body language and the feeling of presence so that's extremely exciting to look into. it. thanks for the good luck and hope for a. while so crazy to do this wake up just a few seconds ago it was a. massive auditorium. yeah. science fiction. of just

a few decades ago is quickly becoming reality grams that can transmit a live copy of you are already a thing and they are telepresence robots some i'd say they're just tablets on wheels but they allow people to actually move around and take up physical space. yes even surgeries are already being done remotely and to this is especially you really want to make sure your internet connection is stable we need to build the foundation we need to get fiber optic cable into every home in the world as quickly as possible because building ever more roads and ever more cars and ever more airports is not a sustainable solution to increasing our communications we must. transport our our hearts our souls our presence and not ourselves. but what's so wrong about transporting ourselves if it's done the way captain kirk

would have done it beat me up scotty was the famous line from star trek you don't need gasoline for that trip i guess but not all ideas from science fiction shows managed to become reality although my colleague reckons you shouldn't bet on that. a long time ago when space ships were made of paper plastic. and it snowed powdered allen minium during the dimity realisation process people and things were magically beamed about in star trek films. how nice would it be if we could be in ourselves around the globe teleportation instead of airplanes and c o 2 emissions think about how beneficial it would be for the climate along into based physics in fact teleportation is no longer science fiction. i'm always

surprised about all the weird things that happen for the. money where your heart is a quantum physicist at the austrian academy of sciences his excursions into space travel are just a hobby work he explores the weird and wonderful world of teleportation of quantum teleportation to be precise as a having watched our trek for instance people imagine that you somehow beam matter or even energy because that's how it's done on the show that people disappear in the transporter and then reappear on an alien planet when. the similarity is that the system rebuilds the object identically in another place. or what's more at the exact same time or instantaneously regardless of the distance involved that's how the quantum world works via quantum entanglement einstein thought it was pretty spooky transferring information faster than the speed of light so does this mean

travelling not only with 0 emissions but also with 0 delay. what happens with quantum teleportation is that really just that you want him information in this system is transferred to another place onto another identical system. about what the matter itself atoms or photons or whatever it's made of does not get transferred so it doesn't disappear. but what it does disappears the information it gets destroyed. still. so if 2 quanta are connected this way they can exchange information without a moment's delay but not the matter it really is just the information. ok then couldn't i just split myself into quanta and send their information to

another intended quantum cloud i mean then it would just need to be reassembled correctly right. let's just say that right now we don't know of anything that would fundamentally speak against it but it would have to work in a completely different way. we'll need completely different set ups than what we're creating now. if i could build a device that could do this and you'd ask me whether i would put myself inside it i'd say no. so mr spock would probably have to get beamed in a glittery shower of aluminum grey like in the old days. and don't forget the enterprise it least sped through the universe powered by an anti matter and hydrogen engine with not even a whiff of emissions. by the way

a piece of trivia for you the words you me up scotty whenever said precisely in better form in the star trek sirius maybe it will work with beam me aboard. ok that's totally new to me but i just googled it and she's right you learn something new every day now through a real work in progress my colleague. who's been locked away in his home office for a little too long i believe someone's really got to go around to check out how paul of coming along i think is starting to talk to him self side of madness but all of these virtual changes and be overwhelming. if. we right there another day of online chatting and shit. and whose own lines just me and some important people i'm so important ok here we go again. hi

it's me nice to see you guys. who. do these very you don't look so great you're really crazy you need to go outside and get some fresh air bri you can sit in front of your computer forever and you need to relax and take a breath from all this stress. you need to move about and break free take a swing. what are you talking about. i take a swing if city i've been 30 years since march that's a lot of months now i have my next check and then another one and another and i mustn't forget monsoreau to. break free a bit. just

a moment i'll be right there or i don't and. yeah. oh my god it happened you have to take the stairs that's important that's really helpful especially for people like you who are glued to their computers all day you need to take the stairs and move your hips a bit intensive was that not a concert another conference another chat more new software more wet traffic traffic counts of i can do 20 chats 50 chats 100 chips come on guys let's make it a 1000000 and the me your. i don't know hey. that's half t. . doesn't that will relax you. to boston that you needed tiebreak gently. deploy you

get dehydrated as an issue what mr know it all doesn't realize is that i've already got myself very comfortable. here there. everywhere. it's often a shock when you're so focused on your work and someone real suddenly now it's at the door in my case it's usually the postman asking if all except a package for a neighbor and it's always smack bang in the middle of his or meeting our brave new world from the team and me here in berlin thanks for joining us for another episode of may see you next up.

this is big news live from berlin spain is gripped by a 2nd not about breast and anger of the popular who was sent to prison clashes erupted in boston london and madrid between police and protesters demanding the release of pablo picasso is charged with glorifying terrorism and insulting the pro-family also coming up legal milestone in india's me to movement a delhi court clears a female journalist she was charged with defamation after she accused to male boss of sexual harassment.

a matter of how broke into the program will begin in spain where police have clashed with thousands of demonstrators demanding the release of rap artist who was jailed for his lyrics this in is the 2nd night of violence in madrid and barcelona police in the city's attempted to break up the protest by the pointy gas and firing rubber bullets some. instead set up burning barricades and they would dozens of arrests and injuries public was convicted on charges of glorifying terrorism and insulting insulting royalty robert in his songs and tweets. for more on this we're joined by stephen bergen in barcelona stephen we're seeing the disturbances spreading across spain how serious is this outbreak of violence. well it is

it is certainly spread much further than yesterday when i was mostly confined to other parts of catalonia. as it was quite big disturbances in the dreaded also granada our country all of the country. i think we might be seeing something slightly different here in there where used to saying this is services here in particular. but the whole basically relates to the question of cattle and independence and this is this is got nothing to do with this this is to do with free speech this is a do it particularly i think young people feeling that they're not represented. and that there's an underlying. mount of hypocrisy when madhur might say about who is allowed to say walk so that you know this rapper.

problem himself is you know being sent to sent to prison while other people who say very incendiary things only happen in the last week or and with some very smart ring people and they you know they appear to have impunity and i think i think there's a lot of anger about this because well you know the political questions that we've seen recently it always is the question state why did author he's go off to sell in the 1st place isn't what he said covered by freedom i think special. well i think the you know this is partly why our government is now discussing having a. sort of a i thing about a law or. about freedom of speech which we don't really have here i'm not saying we don't have freedom of speech but legally it's very it's very very you can say

things and for example in newspapers here that would be considered libelous and you know it's a change they're going to other countries. so i think you know there's there's an empty circle to narrow down what is what is acceptable to treat a speech. it's not yet clear what the law is going to is going to say in the meantime i think there's always quite clearly a groundswell of opinion among particularly among young people there that there are there's a double standard there's hypocrisy stephen bergen in basilan a thanks so much for talking to us ok time to take a look at some of the world needs now. facebook is blocking users in australia from breeding and sharing news stories the social media giant opposes legislation that would force internet companies to pay news publishers for content earlier this week

google said it had struck deals to pay to a striving many companies for their news content. us conservative talk radio host rush limbaugh has died of lung cancer at the age of $75.00 brand broadcaster was known for promoting republican causes and politicians during his shows and taunting democrats last year he was awarded the medal of freedom by the former u.s. president donald trump. you were telling prime minister mario draghi has easily survived his 1st vote of confidence in the senate after value to do whatever it takes to lead his country out of the coronavirus pandemic and rebuild the economy is expected to win a 2nd confidence vote in the lower house of parliament on thursday. where european leaders are scrambling to get more dozens of the coded 19 vaccines production bottlenecks have slowed down the blocks mass vaccination if it european

commission president on the line announced that the blockhead agreed to buy another 300000000 doses of the modern vaccine but some member states want brussels to approve the vaccines made by russia and china. many e.u. citizens are raring to get their shots and for straight it the e.u. is slow roll out of vaccines hungary decided to go it alone importing shots from russia and china other east in e.u. members are urging the european commission to put pressure on the huge companies it has contracts with. us live from the law and the president of the commission gets their message. she announced a new deal with the u.s. . i'm false to delivery. we need to enable him not to fast track the regulatory approval of updated manufacturing side we need to.

mass production of new vaccines but also of existing vaccine. she also said a new commission project called the hara incubates a has been created to grease research on detector viruses barium. to identify variants quicker we need to know more about the many possible of this virus to be able to combat it 2nd if. science has to adapt the existing drugs so we have to focus on research 3rd point we need well organized clinical trials to have evidence and data files. and the 1st night we are launching today a european clinical trial network. on the line at mit the e.u. is struggling to get started but said 22000000 people had already had one dose

millions more jobs are on the way. well south africa has by far the highest number of covered 19 cases and deaths on the continent but the country's vaccination campaign rather suffered a setback after a study showed that the oxford astra zeneca back saying it was ineffective against the quick spreading viral mutation that accounts for most infections in the country x. and actions have now begun with significant challenges. around with to get the votes you want to look closely with. susan who can call is one of the 1st in south africa to receive the covered 916 the medical doctor at khayelitsha hospital in cape town has been working with covert patients since the beginning of the pen to make one in 3 colleagues have already contracted the virus on the frontline. among the 1st one who walked into the prison when they come to the unique thing that you could pick it with out so we can really really important. being full on

for these that come to really really. who used to be. in the population so grateful that 6 weeks ago color showed us the overcrowded cove would watch during the peak of the 2nd wave with dozens of patients waiting for a bet and coughing pressure increased on the government to pitch a civic scenes and it went on a shopping spree the 1st 1000000 astra zeneca vaccine doses arrived 2 weeks ago but shortly afterwards a new rather small study suggested that it does not protect enough against mild disease caused by the mutation of the virus that is dominant here in south africa the government's decided to stop the rollout of the astra zeneca vaccine and offer it to other countries. much to the disappointment of some scientists they say the vaccine does protect against severe disease.

yet you say used. the 1st batch being used now is from johnson and johnson exene which is still on face 3 trials and not approved in any country but one studied that suggest if it is see against a new variant this back and forth has made many south africans skeptical about getting vaccinated i'm just a little industries who doesn't know much about the process of cutting for conditions in it now but from the look of feet whereby there was this function that came from india and well it again this is just i'm just coming in so the end of the dig 1 may think it's one of making profits and put his hands to his p.t. . and there so that may be one of us but if it came from them to look at to get their money. you know everything just kind of sustainable. but not everyone sees it

that way a study by the university of johannesburg found that almost 60 percent of adult south africans wants to get vaccinated and in. their dissenting voices. well i don't think. that i. think so i don't think he's going to take it but what we're going to do going to survive you know taking him and so. many. i'm. not africa's president sewer i'm up with also got the shot at the all spittle in khayelitsha to demonstrate confidence in the vaccine. is that. we're going to be running this scene out of the country. and i think it's going to be flawless i think it's going to be done. and as we get

more and more scenes as many things them in i think. that we should south africa has already secured about $30000000.00 doses of different vaccines but there's no concrete time plan for the delivery and throw out dr susan mccomb call and to team up preparing themselves for tough months ahead although the 2nd wave is everything the 3rd is expected in 3 to 4 months. to india now way i form a government minister has lost a defamation suit against a female journalist who dick used him of sexual harassment the verdict is being held as a victory for india's made to. happiness and relief after a landmark ruling that priya rommany believes will empower more indian women with the right to speak the truth and obviously that was

a push back to the act and i think today shows that women can withstand that push back you know but it's not that easy to shut us down romany accused author turned politician akbar of sexual harassment she said it happened in a hotel room where he scuttled a job interview with her in 1903 akbar denies having met her in a hotel but stepped down from his junior minister position when rommany named him as her abuser in 2018 akbar then sued rommany for defamation saying her accusations impacted his reputation but the court rules against him. in the court today said that the reputation cannot be protected at the cost offered right to dignity this is significant for india for me to movement as a dissension he says that women making allegations cannot be accused of defaming alleged abuses. or money and several witnesses accuse ackbar who was in his forty's

at the time of using his power to prey on young women who were desperate for work akbar denies all of the claims against him calling the allegations politically motivated his legal team also questioned why it took so long for romany to come forward the court ruled the timing was irrelevant the rommany has been battling in court just to have the opportunity to speak out something that many women are afraid to do 14 others have made similar accusations against akbar you know when she spoke and the stories that started coming after her she really really empowered women so. i didn't enjoy it wasn't them to silence her and others cruelly backfired on him. romany's says the verdict is vindication for all women who have spoken up again. sexual harassment at work. i reminded of the top story we're following for you this hour listen protesters have clashed again in spine after crowds of people rallied to protest the jailing of left wing
