5:16 am
if you would like and the beer information on the coronavirus or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast if you get it wherever you get your podcast you can also find us at twitter dot com record slash science. the countryside of the north eastern congo is beautiful and the soil is rich and fertile and yet the people here live in poverty and constant fear of attack by armed militias over 120 such groups have been operating for more than 2 decades on the territory of the democratic republic of the congo along its northern borders to south sudan uganda and rwanda neither the government nor tens of thousands of un peacekeepers have been able to stop them and the people suffering inevitably leads
5:17 am
to more suffering as victims join one rebel group or the other scene of they killed my father. they killed every one of my family. that's the only reason i became a fighter. a woman grieves for her murdered child an all too common side in the north eastern congo the militias killed around 2000 people here in 2020 alone the worst of them called themselves the allied democratic forces or a.d.f. their islam ist rebels who have been terrorizing the local population for some 30 years. of us.
5:18 am
they kill people with bullets. they kill people with machetes. they killed my brother with machetes. the islamists attack every few days often under cover of darkness they leave devastation behind burned down houses and beheaded corpses the local people feel like the congolese army and the un peacekeepers have abandoned them. we joined up with the un patro. all in beni one of the trouble spots. but taxed by the a.t.f. on the civilian population here have been on the increase in recent months. the u.n. patrol checks up on a clinic in maine it's been a frequent target of a.t.f. attacks in busek you will why is the clinics director. wife of the militia
5:19 am
comes here and massacres people if you saw the sheer hatred that drives the killing they chop heads off and you find the brains all around and chopped off feet that leaves you terrified and traumatized. but once the islamists tried to abduct 4 of his nurses. the guard they took them hostage in the waiting area when the people there realized it was the a.t.f. they were scared but then the militia said nobody would die it wasn't a day for killing. many in the area live in fear you and soldier was he said was x knows the clinic and the people who work there very well. you can see all the nothing that cannot prevent war then a few people question and they are told and identified they are the ones that are targeted to be this transfer in the country where they have to dress like it was. the constant threat level keeps the clinic closed all but a few hours
5:20 am
a day many patients are left without treatment. and they struggle with who they cannot phone call the can of corn from they have to stay at home they cannot move children cannot go to school. so far the un force has failed to establish and maintain security often enough the more than 18000 troops from nearly 50 nations can hardly even get themselves coordinated many of them are in un to quickly train . or at least not trained with the relevant skills the local villagers aggravate the problems with often unjust accusations that the un troops are a pack of thieves only concerned with their own safety many of the congolese no longer put any hopes in the un troops at all. and the local people too often find themselves caught between friends when their daughters and sons actually join the a.d.f. so the parents end up cooperating with the rebels supplying them food for example
5:21 am
in return they're left in peace but if they refuse they may be killed a little plump and sometimes for content sometimes we're afraid. the militias can show up any time they've become part of our daily lives. most of the local people are afraid to appear before the camera one man who didn't want to say his name gives vent to his frustration. the government should help or the international community should help our government with the situation so many people have suffered the a.t.f. got to be finished. in the meantime the a.t.f. keeps on murdering as soon as the cameras off many people here say the soldiers come too late only once the attacks over and people are already dead we meet jonny boom only one of you a local representative who's been studying the a.d.f. for years and his view the un mission has not achieved its goal very much in. the
5:22 am
quantities here really ought to be secured according to my research as many as 4500 people have been killed right under the un forces knows it and what's their job again to protect the civilian population but more are getting killed every day. the a.d.f. was founded as an islamist group in uganda in the early 1990 s. experts have estimated their current strength at a few 100 fighters they're seen as accepting only cruel and intent on a stem. islamic sharia law in the territory they control. they want to create a space a gray area where the state has no authority. they intend to control this area and exploit it. it's what they call the islamic state of central africa the caliphate of central africa they've already set it up. to them the state is already up and running. in march 2021 the
5:23 am
united states designated the a.d.f. a terrorist organization with ties to the islamic state but some observers doubt the 2 groups maintain any direct contact besides the a.d.f. over 120 other militias are active in the eastern congo after the 1994 genocide in neighboring rwanda some hutu militias fled to the congo and kept on killing that prompted the formation of armed groups originally for purposes of self-defense they do not make it easy to contact them to do so we had to leave the area under central government control halfway their militia fighters meet up to lead us to one of their bases among them is my. she joined the militia about 20 years ago after an armed group massacred her family she was forced to watch as the men killed her parents with machetes then 6 of the men raped her she was only 15 years old at the
5:24 am
time. i felt defeated my life had defeated me. i saw what they had done to me and how they had murdered my family. i couldn't keep living my life the way i had. so i decided to become a fighter and drive them out. what was it when a former teacher came to her village to recruit young people for a new militia she joined him and many of its members have experienced similar horrors it is in essence a militia of traumatized and emotionally scarred people. they killed my father. they killed everyone in my family. that's the only reason i became a fighter. her own community cast her because she'd been raped too great was the stigma the militia offered her a chance to take revenge and to survive they control around 20 villages in the region protecting the inhabitants who in return keep them supplied with food it's
5:25 am
a simple trade security for food but we got the impression it wasn't always a voluntary arrangement. didn't speak openly until we moved some distance from the others then you must have heard that others are fleeing the group but how could i run away i have nobody to help me i don't own any land i don't have anyone who could help me build a new life. now she places all her hopes on her children her hope that one day they'll have a choice. with the blessings of god i might at least arrange for them to get an education. if they are blessed at least that. i myself will never be able to do any other job. i can't help them by myself. hardly any other region has suffered atrocities by the militias as badly as the
5:26 am
congo's eatery province we go on the road with the norwegian aid organization over a distance of just 60 kilometers we pass through about 20 checkpoints of various rebel groups as well as the congolese military. on the border. by the side of the road a few are carrying guns though concealing them often they ask for money as they are doing here but a few words convince them to wait for another day. to draw draw it is a camp for internally displaced people it's one of many in the congo about 5 and a half 1000000 of the country's $105000000.00 people are displaced more than anywhere else in africa logo jewel row barely escaped her village when
5:27 am
a militia attacked it she was on the run with her children when she realized her daughter was missing. i decided to go back to find and save her but i was convinced she was still alive but unfortunately she was already dead. i was so sad just devastated when i walked past them they shot at me i had no idea if i'd survive i gradually lost all my strength i heaved and was breathing harder and harder than i slipped into some bush i didn't really have any hope anymore i was sure i was going to die. she survived but her 4 year old daughter was murdered. as soon as the hospital released her she gathered her other 5 children and fled to this camp. even if food water and medical care are in short supply
5:28 am
at least they are safe here. many people here have stories like no grudge or ows to tell they live in desperation and resignation the trauma runs deep. and like. although they don't have the money to send them to school they still put their hope in their children and so another generation is growing up without education as easy potential recruits for the militias.

calling card. the car that is just of home on the race track as it is on a country road. i say so i just have to drive it for half an hour and i get the feeling the car was built just for me and my no other sports car was built for so long and copies fi so many of coaching that you need vision to build a thing like that so it certainly was not rational. state of the art in technical terms a dream car for millions of people. have been has already made his dream come true the 911 captured the imagination of the stuttgart native when he was just a boy today the businessman has a whole collection of them. and some are rarities like this 911 s
5:32 am
also known as super model source models built between 966 and 68 with 160 horsepower absolute rockets in those days his 3 are so central to his life that he's building his house around them so that his 9 eleventh's will be practically targeted in his living room. musketry never say there's nothing nicer to do in the evening than admire cars like that. for me it's an art form from each of us to constituent. art that moves you. and. you wish to cruise more to one key air cooled engine sound different to other engines and thus they feel different and drive differently from the cars keep on going and going totally robust totally reliable and the old race cars were driven straight to the racetrack they raced for 24 hours and then they were driven home

5:34 am
take the risk. him once on emotions. because you experience such indescribable emotions and tasks to commotions focus focus in africa. on the other hand if you win or come close wow wow. porsche has a warehouse near stuttgart. word stores 9 eleventh's from 55 years every generation and every series. one of each only a museum of success conserved for posterity. only a select few are allowed in. until his death around germany's 1st test institute for vintage cars and specialized in expert opinions on
5:35 am
9 eleventh's. the 356 porches 1st series model was also the basis for the 911 by the mid 1950 s. porsche had already begun developing a successor the 356 had become too slow. the aim was to build in cutting edge technology without compromising the basic shape. because the old model was very popular with customers. the criteria for the new model were formulated by veteran and alexander porsche known as. the sort of those who do it at this or it should be immediately obvious from the silhouettes of the car that it's a porsche. and i believe that if you think about design you come to one conclusion you can always add modifications but you can only make them when the original has
5:36 am
become obsolete and beliefs and so you have to make the absolute best out of the minimum. to move. at the time commander was chief designer and bodywork development. along with puts the parser scene here in the middle of the picture he was instrumental in the. design but exactly who can claim the credit for the design of the $911.00 remains a matter of contention. good size not 13 see saw it was not drawn by one single designer but by a team to the light it will all have happened under the watchful eye of mr commander who also drew the 356. but the head of that particular department was bootsy porsche even if i worked for a company to put it somewhat coarsely if in doubt ups a boss is always right and. 963
5:37 am
percent it's a prototype at the international motor show in frankfurt with a $130.00 horsepower of 6 cylinder boxer engine it was originally called the 901 but persian no objected the french carmaker claimed the rights to the 3 digit model number with a 0 in the middle so 0 became a one. and a valid point. standard which to withstand you need to be easy to come. to an end and i've been through a perfect few and gone from buy it was the same ya didn't give a lot of him up a bit and i'm one who can take in and i don't post shit. it's not
5:38 am
a movie. nobody could have imagined tell popular the model with the couch more than a 1000009 eleventh's have rolled off the production lines in stick hot soup and house and since then with no sign of a slowdown. it took the car time to get going. at 1st though customers were not impressed. there was a simple reason last a 356 s c had a list price of about 16000 german marks. and the 1st 901-4911 was about 30 percent more expensive and. so should developed a parallel model the $912.00 it looked like a $911.00 but the performance specs of
5:39 am
a $356.00 now the price was right and sale started catching up to $911.00 could go its own way. i. come to the german t.v. detective series. the famous conductor had that fun comedy on drove one. and the german rock legend and then back was a 911 fan. listen i bought a porsche with the dough from my 1st gig at the on go per in hamburg in 73. even stay for me as like you have been told tried to take the beast. accelerations fantastic actor fix that loved it so much of the noise for you it's like getting to know a new girl as far as my collection gross when it comes to cars my technical bride so to speak it's definitely the sexiest model for.
5:40 am
truly sorry that's the 1st time i've stalls it's a movie ticket. 11 percent of all 911 are bought by women. drives a car rarer g.t.s. as her company car. was the last of like the fun of a porsche has always been at the back where the engine is there's a sports mode but over here and then the engine sounds even better. you. can call drives 40000 kilometers a year pro career it takes the headhunting agency lawyer from appointment to appointment in the flame heaven i. research on one of the nicest things in life is driving to disappear for early in the morning if i've got an appointment at 9 i'll hit the road at 6 and have the autobahn to myself that's when you can step on the gas and really see what it can do with the fact that this car can still give
5:41 am
you a kick when you're doing 240 that's pure joy. cologne monte carlo america she's taken part in rallies around the world in her other 911 and 973 career at r.s. she's picked up prizes along the way and gather dust. season i still have this red dust in the car probably for every. career are as only $500.00 men will ever drive this car the after right on. the career r s $2.00 is the flagship of the porsche brand one of the most desired sports cars in the world a leading light of all race cars originally it was supposed to be a limited edition he says o'toole would do this car was originally intended as
5:42 am
a homologation model for motor sports and so that means only $500.00 were supposed to be built as old was loaded on the it was supposed to weigh under a 1000 kilos and be used mainly in motor a sense of. also although bosch underestimated one thing the small demand from a performance oriented customers. because suddenly there were people who want to this are at work you know. for the racetrack for the but for the road so. it's now so in demand that it's the most faked car in the world. to sleep so i didn't see certainly it is down in part to how its value crows and r.s. from the model year 973 can cost up to happen 1000000 euros more than the other models. that's plenty of motive for george noory and there are days it's depending on what i've gotten from to me is that every 2nd car i have to give an expert
5:43 am
opinion on is a fake as you don't why do fudge. one striking feature is the reader's spoiler which made its debut on the artist premium model known among german fans as the rock. piece of fall was head of development and a test drive engineer for porsche he shares the credit for the. first the r.s. went through extensive testing in the wind tunnel threats of wool where attach to make air turbulence visible. there are limits to what you can measure in a wind tunnel you can do much more on the track. we tested in hockenheim to find
5:44 am
out how the top speed changes when you place the spoiler higher or lower and would you believe it comes down to 10 or 15 millimeters that make all the difference in top speed or control if you went to high with the spoiler control was great but top speed was considerably lower because the air resistance was too strong. this was a car for advanced drivers uncomforted. loud and expensive. originally all 500 cars were built to weigh well under 1000 kilos. and you can do that by leaving out everything you don't really need and. there was no sound insulation no rust protection no all round interior lining. so it was even supposed to have
5:45 am
a thinner body. but that would mean cars you can't drive comfortably on the road was it. when porsche presented the turbo charger to the public the 911 climbed to new heights. the turbo coupe a 3.0 put everything else in the shade. 0 to 100 k. in just 5.2 seconds not for the faint hearted or the beginner. 991 world rally champion volatile world was playing catch up in the 911 s c turbo in the san remo rally. over several days he made up more and more ground on the leaders. before the last stage he was just 2 minutes behind his
5:46 am
rivals and look to mind he might do it. when disaster struck and his drive shaft broke. he still calls it the most bitter breakdown of his career. so this is a target everyone used to say it's for men not boys you hit the gas and it took ages to get going this is what that was the problem with the car but it was also the challenge for me was for that you had to be hitting the accelerator as you went into the curve so that you had enough power coming out one that gave the skilled driver an advantage but it freaked normal people out 1st off you know my name to. show was aware of the problem too. we were all good drivers and we all said the same. after testing true it's difficult to drive we
5:47 am
need to work on it and the car gradually got better year by year with better tires wider tires with different tuning and matching of springs and shock absorbers and stabilizers and a couple that are all the time and i think mr riddell was happy with it in the end to. the 911 forever in the avalon card even 30 years ago the porsche 959 had an antilock brakes regulated shock absorbers and permanent all wheel drive with a top speed of 315 kilometers an hour and it was the fastest series produced car in the world with official wrote approval it was only offered to a select group of customers. the 996 changed everything the aero of air cooled flat engines was coming to an end the 1st liquid cooled 911 went on the market and critics predicted the end of the 911. fuel. the
5:48 am
switch from air cooled to liquid cooled engine was basically because of the exhaust problem and the noise problem when to give always keep you have an air cooled engine it's all very simple yes it's good to see you have a fan that blows air in to move but the fan makes a lot of noise and you have nothing around the cylinder to insulate the sound. if you surround the whole thing with a liquid jacket when it gets quieter and the cylinder heads are cooled better it's a good look at that in the end because they were the 2 basic reasons for the switch from air cooled to liquid cooled in the 96 series you've also crude home by the ball boy on 6. but the 911 remained popular on the road and on the track this g.t. 3 has 415 horsepower and a 3.6 liter flat 6 engine. and the road version
5:49 am
is good for the race track to. just ride for hostile shows he wants to go on the norberg. he's been a 911 a fan since he was a kid never tired teacher he now owns 4 of them he did for me it's the best thing i can afford because if there's nothing better than a 911 for that's just the way it is. for the porsche 911 is the ultimate for me for me there's simply no better car. it wasn't easy for him to find affordable models. today your dreams coming true for shots to put the pedal to the metal on the legendary north pole i think. to get a taste of what it's like to be a racing driver to mingle with drivers and mechanics before the race.
5:50 am
the new guy from stuttgart. is going to face off against the big names no harm to take a quick peek at the pits. he quickly forgets about his hip replacements and other ailments cured by his passion for porsche. porsche cause a driver hans there but let's hope in side one of the race cars. were done. it says impressed. us. course was them on points out that while sloths his car may not have all the fancy gizmos it is easier to get into and out of. it's effects too much like. bikes can send his 10 year old horse. 3 pull their own with modern race cars the mere thought
5:51 am
makes him nervous but even with his heart racing he wants to give it a try. great striving is an intellectual pursuit to the driver has to study every curve to get the speed just right. i. think. instructor constant amazes takes the beginner through the track he's a member of the porsche sports driving school. here it comes on the left if we go in here quite fast that we have a fairly strong grip on is that if i'm not too fast and here i won't make it all the way over to the left side of course that's kind of if you can do it with
5:52 am
formula one cars because of the different aerodynamics. and i want to hit the brakes hard. to hit the brakes hard and brake effectively i need the car to be straight if it didn't but i was in most men all to god a state that's not here feels right so just to go well let's keep up in his old 911 . now somewhat on if i said the older model can't quite keep up with the new ones it's partly to do with the manual gearshift modern here boxes have a duplex clutch that lines up the next gear so all we have to do is move the gear shift to one side and it's all done within a 10th of a 2nd. you just can't keep up with the street manual gearshift mcguigan clock. despite it all how consciousness is determined to give it a try. the
5:53 am
fortunate structure will be at his side safety 1st it's the pensioners 1st time on the racetrack. you can see the tension in games. but it's not just the driver being put to the test. that 10 year old g t 3 also faces the test of a lifetime. finally they cross the finish line car and driver are safe and sound. but they're the ones in absolutely amazing really fantastic that was so much fun it was passed by the sensation of feeling they want to tell thing once again thanks a 1000000 really great perfect instructor fantastic just unbelievable good from the
5:54 am
feeling inside to the noise in the car he rev it up and stay in the high revs and only come down when you go around a tight curve purchased and braking takes some getting used to but when you break that you really break because you've got a good us but you really hit the brake pedal hard you have to do it with all your strength even with the break boosters which is a light at this and then you come down from like $280.00 thing up and then you go around the corner and take off again. it's like you're flying the feast of the wallabies god knows how you did. really well that's when he took the corners well stuck to the line of least resistance which state car sensational. tester and i have to say dream come true. might maneuverable durable. for almost 60 years the porsche 911 has been the most
5:55 am
popular and most successful sports car in the world and for that reason the best selling. win on sunday sell on monday the idea was to make the car so famous with racing victories that customers wanted to buy it were called. the 911 it was never meant to just be a status symbol or a plaything for the rich but also a fast car that could handle every day life. so the state that's what it embodies. she said you get in and it's almost like being in a normal car and it's no problem just a never around to the bakers and. the boys you know and fall. 8 generations of 911 and unforgettable success story that started in 1963 in
