you know tension only speaking to the rail scientists it's not easy to spot. the great books of the 20th century. present day hoaxes. and who's behind the. manufacturing ignorance stuart's may 3rd on d. w. . the human guts it's said that we know less about it than about the surface of the moon what we do know is that the foods we eat can affect our health and that of our immune system for instance too much stuff like this is bad for us. the science is probing our intestines in order to understand more about diet and digestion. we'll be looking at these topics and more on this edition of tomorrow today.

to begin with we go on a fantastic voyage it recalls the 1966 film of the same name in which. the shrunken human crew sets off on a perilous mission within the body of a sick man to save him in the nick of time. well tiny nano subs are now real they can navigate the eyeballs of dead pigs and one day they will deliver meds to humans our eyes if all goes according to plan. with modern technology taking a look at the retina on the back wall of an eye is easy and routine but actually going in there to treat disease is much harder i drops aren't enough to tackle serious issues. corkscrew shaped nano robots might be the solution they're $200.00 times small. all are in the diameter of a human hair this is

a computer animation. the idea is to send such nano propellers through the vitreous humor of the eye to deliver medicine to the retina professor pear fisher at the max planck institute for intelligent systems in stuttgart is among the scientists who are developing these nano robots. by the end victim not in developing the nano propeller we found inspiration in bacteria we recreate all the screw like structure that enables bacteria to move on because when you rotate a corkscrew it moves forward fall that's what makes. the nano propellers are made by they pariahs in silicon dioxide and other materials including iron onto a copper or silicon wafer under high vacuum while it rotates. the way for is already coated with tiny polymer particles.

and each one of his local nano propeller is borne out of the vapor. this way for is covered in billions of these nano propellers. you need a microscope to see them. they are very small and they fit to the mesh of the vitreous they are only 500 not only there in the average there and to like all so they can easily sneak through the mesh of the vitreous. the propellers have to be harvested from the way for. bits of the way for a broken off and put into water. an ultrasonic bath disperses the particles. each truck contains a large number of them. for

a nano propeller to move through a body without getting stuck it has to be both tiny and slippery. so the team developed an anti stick coating. the chemical for the coating is called fluorocarbon so it's a long chain carbon that doesn't want to stick to anything so it's a light. similar to the coating of your. focus. at tubing in university i hospital nano propellers have been tested in the eyeballs of dead pigs and shown to work. the nano robots are magnetic so they can be steered by electromagnets outside the ai. their movement can be observed in real time with the help of an imaging technique known as optical coherence tomography. reduce america's best monitor live

how the particles move through the eye and we were able to steer them to the exact spot they were meant to go in order to establish that the nano propeller had really reached the retina the pig's eyes were frozen and then cut into thin slices. the microscope revealed that the propellers shown here in red had indeed arrived at the retina here lou. before such nano drug delivery vehicles can be used in clinical practice several problems need to be solved. how can they be removed from the eye again. and help can they be made to carry and release a cargo of medicine. loaded nano propeller we can make use of the chemical actor

buttes of its surface to attach certain molecules by means of a chemical process we can also make the helical body porous and they've going molecules to be transported within me more to create. if and when all the obstacles are overcome this new technology could revolutionize the treatment of diseases of the retina but not only the retina. many parts of the human body are hard to access in a minimally invasive manner. tiny slippery steerable submarines like these might be able to reach parts other methods can. suddenly means explore the deepest reaches of the oceans and the bizarre life forms that thrive thing. but they're all mysterious realms to be explored much closer to home. one prime candidate is our guts our gastrointestinal tract

all 9 meters of it it's teeming with wildlife we currently without. so let's go exploring. introducing louisa. the german name for the common european pair grown by the shores of lake constance . it's about to go on a journey through the human digestive system. alex a pretty rough ride from the get go our teeth take care of the basic mechanical side of breaking down the fruit next the ground up food passed through abuse office and into the stomach. louise of the pair then spends an hour or 2 drenched in the last about in preparation for the next stage and that takes place in the small intestine. for an insider's view scientists at this

german medical research center have a cutting edge swallow ball camera at their disposal. but for all the gotcha tree precious little is known about the inner workings of our intestines. including. the foliage the micro biome is largely still an unknown entity within our body even more so than much of the surface of the moon it's something we've only been able to start examining very recently in that respect it's like a black hole shots is. the 1st part of the small intestine has no microorganisms and is remarkably smooth louisa's trekked through this part of our body takes about 3 to 7 hours. the surface area for digestion is greatly increased by countless little projections called villa this is where the body extracts most of the nutrients which are broken down with the help of enzymes but as the parent tells

deeper it encounters more and more microorganisms. argos is home to over a 1000 different species of viruses fun guy and bacteria which make up over 90 percent of our intestinal flora as well as helping us on the digestive front they also play a vital role for our immune system they even provide us with nourishment from the products of their metabolism in the form of visions for example. moving around stimulates our digestion what remains of the pair has not reached the large intestine or colon where it will now spend the longest period of its journey between 25 and 30 hours. once in the cold reserve the pair is set upon by legions of microorganisms extracting everything the body has not yet been able to digest. their prime target is louisa's dietary fiber on the polysaccharides it contains.

once broken down they use short chain fatty acids beauty rate for example is used by cells in the gut lining as an energy source this is why a healthy diet includes plenty of fiber from vegetables. major shift in the balance of bacteria can lead to dangerous complications. because i know. we know for sure that one particular bacteria are killed by prescribing antibiotics other bacteria overrun the gut flora. that can lead to a serious inflammation of the colon which is called pseudo membrane miss colitis. so good bacteria are more or less wiped out there are harmful bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and can now multiply unchecked such as close tritium deficiency of. these pathogenic bacteria produce

a toxin that attacks the god lining and compromises its ability to protect our body from infections. by the end of its journey the pair has been almost completely decomposed but our body ends up excrete it is largely dead intestinal cells and bacteria practically no residual food. and in the case of louise or the pair it's the fiber that makes the journey so worthwhile for the benefit of our micro biome the. several kinds of fruit give us plenty of that good diet because of the pectin found in them. some kinds of pectin may even help cholesterol levels so bananas for example are a great food for many people. here in the us since in an interesting question about how bananas spread produce. this grew from seeds.

wild bananas do have seeds stony black seeds that can germany. normally with flowering plants pollen from one flower is carried to another where it travels to the ovary and fertilize egg cells to make seeds. the seeds containing the genetic information to produce a new plant the commercial bananas we buy in supermarkets don't contain any seeds they're specially bred to be seedless to make them tasty or. bananas are in fact the result of a genetic accident that gave their cells 3 copies of each chromosome instead of the usual 2. that made them seedless much tastier but also. the most common banana is the cavendish they're all genetically identical each one

is a clone of the other. new banana plants are bred from off shoots of a mother plant. 'd worldwide most bananas are bred by taking cuttings and growing new trees. the advantage of this cloning system is that their lives have the same thick skin the same speed and can be transported at the same time. the disadvantage is that this genetically fragile fruit is vulnerable to diseases the fungal disease tropical race for is currently ravaging the global banana industry from asia to black in america. researchers are currently looking to save the world's most popular fruit from extinction by cross-breeding the cavendish banana and the more robust wild banana.

weed things have a huge fan base among us humans. we are programmed to crave them. as a quick source of energy for our body something our stone age ancestors should evaluate. nowadays you don't need as much energy to hunt and forage for ourself. but that doesn't stop us from craving sweet stuff comes from a number of sources. cakes and candies that a sweet and shook at us. that's the mission of researches here at brain biotech in central gemini they're looking for a sweetener that's not artificial. and there's one crucial qualification for

that natural ingredients. is what we want to find a sweetener that tastes just like sugar or enhances sugar to a degree where you need less of it but with an identical taste of the old products it's. a requirement that mostly has today to fail to meet which is why and lot of people aren't keen on them. and researches are still not sure about how exactly artificial sweeteners work in the body aspartame has been comprehensively tested and whitely approved but critics say it's linked to a range of side effects such as headaches and impaired vision. researches have also discovered that unlike sugar sweeteners do not release the time it see hormones so people who consume them feel less full they also fail to activate the reward center in the brain the results can be eating more and even gaining more weight despite

sweetness having next to no count of rings almost all sweetness approved by the e.u. are artificial the sole exception is stevia approved by the e.u. in 2011. it's actually uses however limited. there are products that don't work very well in conjunction with stevia hardly any dairy products are sweetened with it for example due to the off labors being too pronounced we're looking for a superior sweetener superior version of stevia as opposed to. a super version that also meets taste expectations and that involves breaking down the building blocks of nature these researches have a deep freeze. story of cells and natural substances from countless plants and funky and to so far analyzed 20000 samples the vital substances can be hidden away

in edible or inedible components in tiny molecular compounds that contain mia traces of that all important sweetness among today's test subjects is right $81.00 single plant can contain $106.00 thousands of compounds which will need to be tested in a complex and costly process. but they have help in the shape of an artificial tongue. the same says that this is the most vital element in our research these artificial cells enable us to quickly test the properties of thousands of substances and how sweet or bitter they are each of these tiny vials contains taste cells extracted from the human tongue they react to the samples tested once the cells receive a sweet signal they release messages that in turn become visible the plethora of light signals show that the red meat has plenty of potential. but it

takes a real human being to tell the difference the researches have subjects compared to samples number 2 is the natural variety taken from the brain to. the us to the 1st sample tasted sweeter but it's where the 2nd had a slightly metallic after test. which doesn't bode well for the red meat samples that fail at this stage you're of no interest to the receptionist's. another candidate gets top marks on the taste front a sweets protein from the pen to deploy their fruit native to central africa but taste is not the only factor the suitability of substances varies depending on the product. there are sweeteners that are great for drinks because they dissolve so well whereas some sweeteners have an excellent test but aren't so soluble they're better suited for candy bars or chewing out. of any.

kind while taste is important so with the short and long term effects of sweetness . it will take some time until a sweetener is found that his face effective old products and of course natural. not always bad for us it depends on what kind and how much. polysaccharides found in complex carbohydrates and grains for example don't cause blood glucose levels to spike they're also considered beneficial dietary find that. simple carbs which break down fast into sugar are found in candy thank you so they don't make you feel full and do my blood glucose levels which is bad contributing to obesity and disease losing weight can be difficult and hard work can science help us to cut

corners. imagine a safe and effective pill that will really make your fat go away that's what t.-mo miller and his colleagues are working on and they say they're getting close. to god and it came as a surprise but we were delighted for it. the breakthrough involves using 2 substances one that burns fat and one that suppresses the appetite to create an effective combination therapy. there have been countless attempts to find ways to help people lose weight many pills are touted as the real thing. online you can buy any number of products that claim to do wonders without you having to do more exercise or eat less. most of these claims have been shown to be bogus some products are downright dangerous. the researchers at the home holds

diabetes center in munich aim to harness a certain capability of the human body that was only discovered a few years ago brown adipose tissue or brown fat doesn't store energy but uses energy to generate heat quite unlike regular white fat. there are deposits under the collar bone in the neck and along the spine cold temperatures stimulate brown fat we only have a few grams of it but it plays an important role in maintaining body temperature and burning fat the idea was to develop a substance that mimics cold in activating our energy metabolism. when participants in an experiment spend hours in a room left at 16 degrees celsius the volume of that brown fat grows can the same effect be generated without the chill factor t.-mo miller says the way to do it is to deploy a substance called isolate. is an

agent that activates signaling mechanisms in the brain which in turn activated brown fat fit. the upshot is that the energy metabolism speeds up and body weight declines. in tests with my knees it works but the amount of weight loss is modest so something else is needed another component to the fact. there are so many non-prescription weight loss pills out there and many are entirely useless some are worse than useless they're harmful even if they claim to. works at the german institute human nutrition. sometimes there are various substances that bind fat in food but the effects are variable and mostly minimal it seemed almost always come with side effects but when

large amounts of dietary fat don't get absorbed into the body but remain in the gut it's broken down by bacteria that causes intestinal problems diarrhea or gas it can be very uncomfortable i can't recommend it. so in theory. it gets really dangerous when diet pills include banned substances that are chock sic. tremaine in particular has been associated with serious cardiovascular events that's why it's not licensed for use in the european market but products containing it can still be found in purchased online d.m.p. is also known to be extremely dangerous it's very toxic one gram can kill you as it burns fat and carbs the metabolism speeds up and the body gets hotter and hotter. at the helm holtz diabetes center they're looking for an agent with negative side effects. isolation does indeed stimulate the energy metabolism and released in mice

but the effect is small so what 2nd substance could compliment or boost the effect and here comes the breakthrough discovery. of the 2nd agent is also a synthetic molecule the m.p.p. . very much like nicotine in that it reduces our food consumption but without the negative effects that nicotine has on our brain. it suppresses appetite but not enough to be effective by itself the trick is combining eisel and and d.m. p.p. together the effect is impressive. if you prescribe the 2 together the combination therapy results in much greater weight loss. and the to take it separately. and so. you can say that this is a case of one plus one equals 3. the results in mice have been excellent

but there's still a lot of work to do before we humans can benefit from the breakthrough so for now the prescription in many cases but not all continues to be moved more eat less and eat healthily. the problem is red y. ave bottom if you. do you have a science question. send again if we answer it on the show we'll send you a little something as a thank you you can send your question as a video text ovoid smale come on just ask. you'll find us on our website dot com slash science or get in touch via twitter or facebook. that's all for now from tomorrow today next time we'll be diving deep into other

fascinating realms see you then for most scintillating science.

this is in every news live from berlin green ambitions germany's green party makes its 1st ever bid for chancellor a woman now vying to take the reins for among the american soul in september's national elections and alina and she says only think it is possible when it comes to the country's next government also on the program russian one of only 2. as in hospital the opposition leaders doctors say may only have deeds to live in the e.u. and the us have warned moscow of consequences if an avanti done is in custody.

and while i thank you so much for your company. germany's green party is staking its claim to lead europe's biggest economy for the 1st time ever they've named a candidate for chancellor i know in a bear box now a change to succeed on the america if the greens win in september's elections while opinion polls place them 2nd only by a small margin to medical's conservatives. with 2 party leaders one needed to step aside and her back did so making an early now bear book the 1st green chancellor candidate ever in her 1st speech she promised a renewal and german politics and a departure from the status quo. cynicism asking for the i'm getting we must make

changes to create a fair country a country where daycare centers and schools are truly the best places to beam for a country where caregivers genuinely have the time and above all the resources to care for people so can my country in which the state functions digitally and serves its citizens. a diverse and cosmopolitan country of values space and strong democracy after. the 40 year old became politically active within the green party in 2008 focusing on foreign and security issues only 5 years later she entered the border start the german parliament at the age of 32 there she quickly and respect for her thorough nelson knowledge of detail she has a degree in international law and spent several years abroad in the us london and brussels she now lives in potsdam with her husband and their 2 young daughters best yet they carefully choreographed announcement came in sharp contrast to the

bruising power struggle still going on within germany's conservative party both contenders there were quick to react to bear box candidacy. an early not big on gretsch a late and early in a bear book and i can promise her that the c.d.u. in germany is looking forward to a fair election campaign. volunteer comes of it and. it will be about the 1st place conservatives the greens hopefully it will be a fair good and argumentative but also ambitions election campaign. it's always with me so i would be very happy to be a part of it but we are not there yet in the midst. while the conservatives us still squabbling internally. already focusing on the general election in september and on becoming angular machall successor our political response i mean young is on

the story of for you simon now what are the chances of an elaborate becoming germany's next chancellor well if they're quite good really she does still need to be endorsed as candidate by a congress of the greens in june but her chances really are good because the party's chances are good the greens have been doing well in poll after poll in recent months consistently polling above 20 percent that makes them the 2nd party in german politics at the moment so it may well be that come the general election in september the greens are then in the position to choose whether to join a conservative. coalition or perhaps to themselves lead a left of center coalition in the 2nd case and a lane of bare block just 40 years of age would become germany's next chancellor and i would just say that bareboat probably does need now to over the next few

months present herself to a wider public she's not. not a very tried to politician she hasn't held high office her career has been mainly within the green party so she'll need to sort of spread her appeal if she wants to indeed end up becoming the next german chancellor as some or all of this is happening as the political or the leadership conference is still being played out among the city you and see you where we at with that. well we have to the 2 contenders in the race to be the candidate for the conservative side arm in lashon who leads the larger of the 2 parties the c.d.u. and marcus said he leads the varian c.s.u. and is considerably more popular in the polls the problem the conservatives have got is they don't really have a clear process for making this decision deciding between these 2 men they had

hoped to get it done before today. earlier on today the varian c.s.u. held a meeting they said well they now put it in the hands of their larger sister party to make the decision so i mean last the c.d.u. leader is called a meeting of his troops for the c evening and what i can tell you is that there may well be a decision coming if not tonight then in the next couple of days but it's worth saying that by contrast with the greens process of selecting and smoothly unveiling their candidate as they've done on time today as they said they would and what's going on in the conservative parties is a bit more chaotic and frankly disorganized the obvious political correspondent samiam reporting thank you. spin out some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the trial of the went please officer accused of killing george

floyd is wrapping up in the united states after hearing the closing arguments the jury will have to decide whether derek chauvin committed homicide mr floyd a 48 year old black man died while being restrained during his arrest last may sparking global protests. it's the end of the 6 decade long castrato era cuba's communist party has picked well the u.s. can now as its new leader he replaces that with castro who succeeded his brother feet at all despite not being part of a dynasty president said yes canal is not expected to move cuba away from a one party socialist system. they use foreign policy to says that some 150000 russian troops are amassed near ukraine's borders if you as the largest ever russian military buildup in the region there's a brown said there was a danger of a quote spark setting off a confrontation but he now says there would be no additional sanctions for the time

being. russia's prison service says jailed opposition leader alexina volley has been transferred to a medical facility the announcement comes after mr vollies doctors said he was on the brink of death a 44 year old has been on hunger strike for 3 weeks after being denied access to his own medical team both the e.u. and the u.s. have warned moscow of consequences should he die in prison germany has said is closely monitoring the situation and welcome to news of mr volleys transfer to a prison. in the cup by the ship professor this is not eliminating our concern about not only is physical condition our consequences. it seems that he is in very poor health as a result of being incarcerated which he wouldn't be if russia upheld its international commitments to the european human rights convention and finally released him. went in and listen all for you lisa germany's foreign minister

speaking earlier let's bring in that vladimir a short cough he is executive director of the anti corruption foundation and an ally of alexina volume and joins us now from london so what are you hearing about mr volleys a medical condition. we have seen today reports that he was transferred from one colony to and not there and he is put in the hospital there if not really and then to quote medical care for him as this hospital is used as that tuberculosis port so our demand for an independent physicians to stay in the valley and to get him proper medical care care still then the top diplomat said discussed mr novell the situation today how much can they influence what happens how should they respond. there is no silver bullet that will make

mr fortune release. any but i think there are many channels both public and private available to western governments and obviously mr fulton cares very much about his relations with europe the canonic ties are quite substantial so i think there are some strings that european countries can pull in this respect now russian authorities are not giving and they are digging in and mr noble needs a warrior says he is not planning to end his hunger strike do you fear for his life . we are very concerned especially since the his blood results that were received on friday so the normal level of. which is a precursor to kidney failure and the heart problems i think his health

is in danger and it's a matter of days before he dies how was this being viewed by the russians. well there are no russians that can express a single view. what we do is we. have accelerated our plans for protests and it's happening this wednesday. almost 500000 people signed up to participate in the protests and we hope that this domestic pressure is on president a number of people to participate in. the mark simone previously was about 200000 so we call that this will influence the cooperation of the kremlin and they decide

to do the humanitarian thing to provide in the volley with medical care the label of killer has been casually applied to mr putin with certain just if occasion but if not only in prison on his watch when the whole world is looking at the torture that this most prominent political prisoner globally is now. i think the label of killer will not be something that will ever get come off mr bolton's name lattimer sure cough executive director of the anti-corruption foundation and mr alexina bonnie thank you for joining us. now a massive shakeup in european football 12 top clubs from spain italy and england have announced the formation of a breakaway super league where the new midweek competition will be independent of

european football's governing body the well the super league is expected to be high eally lucrative and include many of europe's top moneymaking teams like manchester city ac milan and real madrid well as well as the 12th founding clubs another 3 are expected to join me for the 1st season which according to his statements will start soon as practicable. for you if it has threatened to sanction the clubs that take part in the breakaway league they released a statement saying the clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition at domestic european or world level and their players could be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams as a news now about one of those proposed super league clubs tottenham have confirmed they have sacked their manager jose mourinho when you know took over at tottenham

know. when. we are here is actually on fire. times. it could transform your a fan full and it's fine i'm serious the continents richest clubs are saying that planning a soup but me with its own t.v. rights and profit sharing a look at what's being widely criticized could mean for the business of the game. also coming up europe's footballing elites on the only one strong. in deals the e.u. has just agreed a new partnership with dozens of nations in africa the caribbean and the pacific

we'll take a look at it. it's easy to read business on mobile in berlin welcome to the program told of europe's biggest and richest football clubs have announced plans to form their own competition the founders of the european super league include heavyweights ray allen the dritte barcelona liverpool and eventers they say it will secure them critical revenue this disappears during an industry battering pandemic but the group who would all quit the champions league competition facing opposition from domestic leagues fan groups the way for and even national governments they've called it a cynical money grab but here's a look at some of the figures potentially in play the league itself would be backed by about $5000000000.00 euros in debt raised by u.s. investment bank j.p. morgan organizers estimate revenue of over $10000000000.00 euros annually significantly higher than current european tomans and the super league is also promising

a massive front cash injection for clubs to invest in infrastructure after 3500000000 euros so big money involved let's get some analysis from sports management professor such a schmidt. if you look at the 20 biggest clubs in europe in terms of revenues they lost almost 1000000000 in revenue was due to the pandemic but this was only last season and so we expect the bigger hit to come since the next day revenues which consists of about 16 percent of all revenues it will almost go down to 0 so you will you won't have any picketing or hospitality revenues this year than in the last season at least in germany we look at 8 games that have been played without any any audiences and so if this continues so the. the overall. damage will be will be way higher.

now let's take a look at some of the other business stories making news around the world. big coin has recovered some of its losses after plunging nearly 15 percent in value over the weekend drops being put down to speculation about a u.s. treasury crackdown the money laundering had hit historic highs last week following the successful public listing of crypto currency exchange going base. in australia and new zealand have established a travel bubble following a long period of low case numbers in both countries and new zealand says it's running 30 flights on monday that's 10 times more and it has for much of the past year. of the european union has signed an agreement with 79 african caribbean and pacific states on issues including climate protection migration and human rights the treaty replaces an existing deal that's been in place for the past

20 years before we delve deeper into the details of the new partnership let's take a closer look at the nations involved the african caribbean and pacific states or the short a c p it consists of 79 countries 16 in the caribbean 48 in africa and 15 in the pacific region many of them off form a european colonies collectively they are home to some 1500000000 people and over the past 4 years the european union has provided 30000000000 in 30000000000 euros in funds to the nations to promote economic development and fight poverty so now the 2 sides have shaken hands on a new wide ranging partnership which both sides hope their citizens can benefit from. cocoa from ghana a classic african e.u. trade product many african countries export their raw materials like cocoa unprocessed value is added further down the supply line and that's where the money

is made in most cases the processing and the profit taking happens outside africa to change this and help gonna retire profits the european union wants to strengthen trade relations with the country a member of the african caribbean and pacific group of states. the e.u. wants to establish more public private partnerships to help build better infrastructure in the region. the bloc also wants to spend more money on clean energy like solar power as well as education apprenticeships and job opportunities. the new a.c.p. e.u. agreement aims to help people in remote areas get access to electricity as well as the internet a main pillar for a better education system. their goal is to help poor countries root causes of migration and return the a.c.p. countries agree to a political demand of the u.

they will take back economic refugees from e.u. countries but i preconditions. for the new deal was more than 2 years in the making the marina strauss asked. how they eventually reach agreement. then the european union always stressed does it now once an equal partnership with africa and also the caribbean and pacific states do you think this idea is indeed reflected in the new agreement. yes i think it is. first and foremost it's important to note is that we approach these discussions as equal. but i will tell you the truth at times during the negotiations frustrations arose around who is superior if. who is giving and who was receiving. but i have to say that we worked in a truly constructive spirit with the commissioner and all her team over.

the new agreement. proving cooperation on return and readmission of irregular migrants is a crucial element of the new agreement this is a very important issue for the european union what do you expect from the e.u. when it comes to migration. also. known. on the african continent are worried because we're seeing our young. people leave to go to the european eldorado more than 22000 of them have died in the ocean we cannot be proud of this as ruling politicians on the contrary we are ashamed. so the solution we have found for now on migration could please some and not others in any case we need to be able to identify migrants sometimes a person may be arrested who we cannot identify from the u.s. side are you happy with this solution you found there's illegal migration which is
