so as not only to demolish houses and build new ones but perhaps to strengthen existing buildings as well that would be normal in richland that we must use this time very wisely to find quick and practical solutions so we can save people's lives you saw on the german the crew thought a lot of. engineer is also committed to finding solutions but it's not working on predicting if an earthquake will strike days or hours ahead of time he's focused on the seconds before the quake. we developed an early warning mobile app that alerted users about the stone will earthquake in their study says but it has been up a question as you know much so we've proven the app works. i'm now here to get support for it from the city on the system in ny you can rationalise it to get in on this field on the chin. i play goodness appointment was put off until a later date. the

fear of the quake has been propelling him forward for years is stumble doesn't have an early warning system like the one in tokyo or mexico city so clear took matters into his own hands and developed a mobile app in 2017. it's designed to send a warning signal to people in the istanbul area a few seconds before a major quake the app can be purchased for the equivalent of around 2 year 00 year . so far has set up 6 measuring stations in the mama region using his own funds today he is monitoring his station in the beauty mentioned district. judge each church which. the sensor registers tiny tremors 3 meters deep. in the event of an earthquake it measures the less powerful primary waves of the

quake it sends a signal to pieces 5 to 25 seconds before the stronger and more destructive secondary waves. the warning time increases the further you are from the earthquake's epicenter. from trying to spot it the stuff that persistent has proven itself but if there's only one station per location there's a risk of false alarms all the cost reasons i've only set up $1.00 system at this quarter but it would be better to add one or even 2 stations every 3 kilometers and set up a whole network. but he doesn't have the funds for that each new station costs about $20.00. he fi sounds and there's currently about 5000 people have downloaded his name by. only

a fraction in comparison to istanbul's 15000000 residents. but good now believes in what he's doing every 2nd counts also on the talk of in 10 seconds you could take shelter with your children if you're driving a car you can park it safely if you're about to go inside a building or drive through a tunnel you decide against it you know these are seconds that save lives. i. i love that seconds and not enough the german seismologist marco bone health he wants to be able to warn the population hours before a quake. he is out on the sea of mom or just off a stumble exactly where a full fall below the surface could trigger the next big quake.

on the island is known hoffa set up a measuring station to help with his forecasts. but the station is hardly sending any signals at the moment that's a problem. of this because this is the largest island off the coast of istanbul and these are pre-determined measurements sites because they're closer to the fault zone from. the team is headed to the highest point of the island. at. a summit in the middle of a nature reserve. here seismographs were installed 300 meters deep into the earth and covered with concrete. using acoustic signals they register the smallest traumas that do not

reach the surface. this way even many earthquakes have recorded. the depths of the seismographs plays a critical role. we have to try to get beneath the surface because in a metropolitan area like istanbul there's a lot of background noise from infrastructure wind and weather that's bad for us because we want to measure the signals as cleanly as possible that's why we have to go deep below the surface but drilling deep down is expensive and we have to drill at least a few 100 meters so in this case a compromise between the cost of drilling and meeting our requirements is 300 meters deep. construction around 300000 euros was financed by the german research center for geosciences the turkish authorities after that and international donors did him cherelle remembers how intensive the process was he said in the 2 most

along with the drilling here took a total of 9 months the ground is made from very hard stone so drilling into it was very difficult. it was also a mammoth task to bring these huge machines to the island. and then the drill heads of the machines kept breaking off. i think we had to replace 10 of them the drilling company hated us by the end of it all. the data from the seismographs assented almost to real time via the internet to the disaster management also in ankara and to potsdam. well the team must now figure out why the signals a failing to send a u.s. company manufactures the senses they're used in earthquake zones all over the world . technicians surge of venezuela has come all the way from the u.s. to help with maintenance we have some problems with the station seems like the source in the debate up to the central station so we thought of you know was the

problem seems like is that round the. house like a roman site when it gets it will stop opposition because it's always design. because the seismographs are embedded deep underground they cannot be swapped out then and so they can only activate them by remote control. become like they didn't get here. on any moon have phones his colleagues impulse to find out if the data has arrived from. them and we repair the data logger we know the data arrived in ankara and in 5 minutes we'll know if it arrived in parts but everything looks good. mission accomplished the data finally arrives in potsdam.

meanwhile develop a good know has found a backer for his early warning system a renowned istanbul geologist wants to further develop his. time jobs are professor genki alta rock wants to use cellphones to measure the shaking during an earthquake and compare it with the measurement data on site something like this is not been done before we want to combine these 2 functions in the air and till now it's not been possible to measure how each building reacts individually touring a quake but with cell phones lying around the house we could measure that. meets the geologists it is stumble technical university. they discussed how the app could be used to estimate damage after a quake. a few years back geologist change the attack who is also working on

a warning system to predict earthquakes yeah yeah that's no longer his priority because he considers it dangerous. you know this that you just saw it sort of if i could predict now that in 30 hours there will be an earthquake walk along how would they control the money in turkish banks have to cut it would flee abroad people would storm the banks they would storm the stores they would turn on each other that well are there sufficient security forces to prevent something like that is there a plan in place when you know there isn't it therefore even if there was a way to predict earthquakes our society would not be set up for it because then you would need 2 and a half square meters of space outside per person. but there is no space in istanbul we don't even have $75.00 square centimeters per person just go to the city center

the streets are 2 and a half metres wide the houses 6 stories high if one house collapses the whole street is blocked a fire breaks out in just one house it's spreads to all of them been there young. only a few months of passed since the last quake in istanbul on the 24th of january 2020 another earthquake strikes turkey. this time in the eastern part of the country. the quake is almost 30 times stronger than the september quake in 2019. at least 90 buildings collapse and 41 people died in the e.u. knows the region. survivors and rescue workers brace overnight temperatures of minus 8 celsius. emergency units travel from istanbul the rescue work takes days.

geophysicist marco bone half doesn't have much time left unfortunately that's exactly what research requires. but he does have new findings the results of the september quake i read. his thesis seems to be correct. under the sea of marmara many many quakes accumulated until the big quake with a 5.8 magnitude struck. because of and the big question is whether these fractures the foreshocks are signs of a larger earthquake. research is don't yet know if this is a pattern that can be applied to all quakes but the indications are growing. estimates that it will take another one to 2 years to see if the method is proved correct. only then will it be possible to develop

a reliable forecasting system. best case scenario would be to put out a sort of fever curve where every day we could estimate that there's a higher or lower risk of an earthquake and residents would start to adjust to this it would be like what we see with forecasting extreme weather this is not yet the case with earthquakes and there's a long road ahead to get there but this is what we're aiming for and we're working to improve this situation isn't systems of our best. i. think. the people of a stumble only have a real challenge so if priorities to set. as quake resistant buildings. public mourning seconds before a quake. and a full cost. the researches were cremains

a race against time. i. i i i. i. i i. i. i. i. is there life on mars. the american space program rover has set out to answer this question. just landed on the red planet but it's not only. he's competing with 2 other missions. everything you need to know about the

shakers in her legacy joining us from eccles la stops. playing the bad . this is good news a live shot from berlin and joe biden declares america is back the u.s. president makes a renewed commitment to the transatlantic alliance to addressing the munich security conference he promises close cooperation to tackle a host of pressing issues also coming up on the show. one a year on and germany pays tribute to the victims of a racist attack in the city of hideout. president frank urges the public to unite

against rick. i think extremism. and into the buddhist leaf fans are looking forward into the least fear says rivalry as bottom place shall thought. the revered her son saturday talking points to qualify for the champions league and shelter wants to escape relegation. hello i'm claire richardson welcome to the show joe biden has made his 1st major global appearance as u.s. president addressing the munich security conference he declared a renewed commitment to the transatlantic alliance promising to work closely with the european allies to tackle defense covert 19 and climate change after 4 years of fraying transatlantic ties under the trumpet ministration fight it is trying to

rebuild relations but there are important areas where washington and europe don't see eye to eye. when the west talks amongst itself the us president has the 1st word and he delivered what his partners in europe wanted to hear america is back the transatlantic alliance is back and joe biden was clear about america's core mission. most prepared to gather for a long term strategic competition with china tricky for germany whose economic recovery from covert is made in china it angela merkel says she's ready to take on the challenge with a no tipping softer tone and you know how the new look. over the past 2 years china has gained global power and we have to set something against that as transatlantic alliance and as democracies and that's why the question of not just china and russia getting vaccines to developing into other countries is very important. and

the fixings then there isn't 51 but a man i might call warns that america's interests were no longer always the same as europe's and spoke about his favorite theme of european sovereignty. 0 been union its key members have to be part of the solution of their own security french and german interpretations of sovereignty may remain different yet both share the relief over the new u.s. administration of its asian from which a lot of signs are multi-lateralism are a lot better today than 2 years ago and that has a lot to do with the fact that due biden has become president of the united states and starting from america. in some of the munich security conference will have the whole world back at the diplomatic table this preview set the tone from the west undermine democracy doesn't happen by actually we have to defend it fight for it

strengthen renew it. we have to prove that our model isn't a relic of history it's the single best way to revive lies the promise of our future. but that comeback of the west under u.s. leadership is by no means. all germany is marking one year since 9 people were were killed in a racist attack that shocked the country the victims were gunned down in the western city of homs by a 43 year old german man who later turned the gun on himself now after a year long investigation relatives of the victims say they still have more questions and answers. the bells of one else churches ringing out and remembrance of the 9 that lost their

lives but for friends and family of the victims they still deal with the grief daily. this is on young here today it's been exactly a year since my son and 8 other young people write that he became victims of a racist terrorist attack and the launch locks were. on the night of the 19th of february 2020 shots rang out in the heart of how no. man entered to buzz in or can fire killing 3 people before getting back into his car and driving to the other side of the city. there he entered a cafe and killed 6 more. it took just 12 minutes to kill 9 people injured 7 others. the right wing extremists targeted people with immigrant backgrounds people he viewed as foreign. was accused of on kind of kids weren't foreigners.

they were lovely helpful kids brothers and sisters parents and friends they were citizens of this country and out of nowhere they were from this world. among those attending the memorial was german president frank. he acknowledged authorities had made errors and failed to protect the victims but he called on the public to take a common stand. as the president of this country i'm standing here before you ask let's not allow these evil attacks to divide us. but we must not overlook the evil in the heart of our society their hatred exclusion and indifference. but let's believe in the better spirit of our country and the tower of unity. the corruption mitten.

so many friends and relatives to protect him they re still too much unknown about the events of a year ago and they want to see more done to combat racism. which all our correspondents hans brant was at that ceremony in high now and we asked him for his impressions from the remembrance well i think what was most notable today in fact was the speech by the german president frank. not only his plea for togetherness for a common fight against racism against hate speech and for a common goal in including all people in german society that in fact are part of germany that are german citizens but there was also. from the german president that there had been mistakes made by the authorities by the police by investigating or thorough te's and their questions had to be answered that there were issues that

need to be cleared up needed to be cleared up that was an important i think conservation or let's say an important approach to the families of the victims who have been saying for this past year and here in the ceremony today as well that they feel that the investigation has not been intense enough that they have not heard enough about what exactly happened on the night of this terrible crime and that they are still dissatisfied about what has come out of these investigations what aunt says they have gotten from the german state authorities so far. a correspondent has brand reporting there from high now let's turn our attention now to some other stories making headlines at this hour. the g. 7 a group of leading industrial nations has ramped up its health funding for poorer nations following accusations they are hoarding chrono virus vaccines after a virtual meeting g 7 leaders are said they had agreed to increase funding to

$7500000000.00 for kovacs united nations krone virus vaccination program for poor countries. u.s. president joe biden says he will approve a disaster declaration for the state of texas paving the way for more federal aid to deal with a crippling winter storm nearly 15000000 people have seen water supply disruptions and at least 2 dozen deaths have been attributed to the storm in the southern state . hundreds of anti-government protesters in bangkok have gathered outside thailand's parliament ahead of a no confidence vote against prime minister private. activists are calling for his resignation accusing him and his cabinet of abusing their power and mismanaging the economy. and anti cool protests in myanmar has been overshadowed by the news that a protester has died a week after being shot in the head by police the young woman is the 1st person to

be killed in the demonstrations by the military seizing of power and detaining of the country's elected leader aung sun suu kyi is spokesman for the who did not deny that the woman had been shot by security forces and has said an investigation has begun. was. the 20 year old woman became the 1st fatal victim of myanmar's uprising she was shot in the head by police 10 days ago. but. her condition became worse by the day and then her heart stopped beating. her death is adding fuel to the fire much of the country has been in open revolt ever since troops arrested civilian leader aung sang suu kyi. the rallies have been steadily growing in size and the hunter has responded by making mass arrests by escalating its use of force against peaceful protesters.

in the presence of security forces has been stepped up across the country. we are being peaceful why are they using so much force they pushed us violently look at them do they need to act like this we are not blocking any roads they intentionally use this force they shouldn't do that. tens of thousands of people from across me and marxist. id have joined an all out strike by refusing to go back to work until democracy is restored. citizens have been coming up with ever more ingenious methods of bringing the country and its traffic to a standstill. these residents are pretending to pick things up from the ground to make it more difficult for security forces to reach the protests. others are overcome by

a sudden urge to repair their bikes in the middle of the road but rights groups are calling for the international community to support these civilian tactics with harsh sanctions on the country's lucrative gems and banking sectors so that no more protesters get killed like that so for some sports news now and in soccer ball recede dormant and shout out renew the bundesliga as fierce as rivalry on saturday as they clash in the revere derby bottom placed shock are desperate for a when it would give them a chance of escaping relegation to the top and meanwhile 3 points would enhance their chances of champions league qualification. amid an exasperating season brucia documents were given a timely boost this week the announcement that gladbach coach marco bowser would take over next season was followed by a 32 win over severe in the champions league last 16 europe's elite competition is where they want to be and the darby win would be a huge step in the right direction is in the league
