a good example of how bad we can be at predicting the future and that includes the inventions that have the potential to transform how we live and work this week on made where looking at the innovation economy. well you can have the best idea in the world but if you can't capture people's imaginations that amazing invention of yours will never see the light of day you need funding to get that you need investors and you have to be convincing they're the ones you have to win over 1st well before the consumer the other thing is that the investors have to believe they going to get their money back from you and make a return of the a big one it's risky business but no pain no gain and the rules haven't changed even in this pandemic or maybe you could say coke at 19 when the appetite for some real risk taking. a life saving vaccine and a huge money maker early investors in the german company buy on tech and now sitting

pretty one of them was acting on behalf of a venture capital fund. we put in 13 and a half 1000000 and this got our shareholders a return of 600000000 and that's not the end of it. that's more than a 44 fold return on the investment it's a success story that could help other companies attract a venture capital. will it make financing innovation easier. this woman knows how hard it can be to find investors she's pleased for biotech. you does a fight every success helps the industry and the start of seen his. her own startup links patients and doctors but isn't turning a profit yet the capital is where the finding capital is key when starting up a company especially right at the very beginning you start with seed funding that's

the 1st financial support the early funding stage the business idea exists and maybe a small product to action comes put duct this is followed by other funding stages a startup should have time to grow before it has to turn a profit. i think anyone who has money can give it. it's the employees of big venture capital funds who are on the lookout for ideas with big potential. it's interesting for us when a company thinks about where it will be in 10 years and what it will have to do by then to change the world rather than where it is now and what it ought to do next year. this man has that kind of long term vision. and batman is a biochemist and an investor he's driving research interests. sepsis for every new promising approach he set up a company. set up 15 companies. one of his company's

markets devices like this it's designed to find biomarkers within 20 minutes that indicate whether septic shock is imminent another is researching a medication that seeks to harness an antibody to stop vascular leakage and prevent septic shock it's about to go into clinical testing but a phase 3 study is expensive. hind the company's chief business officer faces the challenge of raising 18000000 euros can she do it. we have to be transparent about where we're headed what are the risks of the opportunity for some area of septic shock patient numbers are sky high we're talking about 500000 patients in the u.s. in europe each year crazy figure is. hard and

nevertheless it's still hard to attract 18000000 euros of venture capital especially in germany. as venture capital funds are much more willing to take risks than european ones so they have billions at their disposal whereas the european funds might have 50000000 or 120000000. from. desperately need more money and above all more people in wealthy countries who are prepared to invest a small portion of their money into something like that just think in germany alone private households have savings worth 6 trillion euro. but they're a big risks attached if the company isn't a success the money is lost. biotech is an exception to that rule figgins the company made losses but investors were prepared

to keep injecting fresh capital even well before the coronavirus pandemic the founders were tirelessly trying to develop that at the time unproven therapeutic approach and. really have clearly defined work and leisure time. i see it as a privilege that we're able to live our dreams. and his wife. the team behind the guy on tech vaccine have migrant backgrounds like one in 5 company found as in germany the same goes to according to the german startups association these founders get less capital on average. because many founders with immigrant backgrounds who i know personally and i include myself we have managed to turn this sense of being different or being treated differently into something positive for me personally it spurred me on to prove myself to say i'll show you

one of advisement zach. many innovations are still out there waiting on hard drives or in laboratories and many entrepreneurs to prove themselves but only when they find investors will their ideas be able to bear fruit and ultimately bring returns. otherwise it's down the drain which brings me to one innovation that most of us have been sitting on for almost every day of our lives the whole toilet it's an invention so convenient progressive and transformative that we've dedicated a whole segment to it is our report. on the history of sanitation. penicillin vaccines for transplants all these innovations are rightfully hailed as medical milestones but if you ask me another invention we don't really talk about in these terms more than deserves to be held in the same regard thank you.

thank you. speaking about the time. you should give a crap about your crap or because it has a huge impact on your life and humanity in general many of us take modern sanitation for granted at best and worst subject to be avoided due to what you know goes in there. that's exactly the point goes in there and then vanishes you know then that's amazing. for the vast majority of humans that have walked the earth once they've done their business there are kind of stuck with it and that's by no means a problem of the past even today many people around the world don't have access to adequate sanitation that has dramatic consequences from disease to violence to a negative impact on the local economy the market sector itself actually has huge

economic potential. in the sanitation industry a multi-billion dollar business that goes well beyond the 20 late lecturing and treatment of waste and the production of products that can be reintegrated. but let's not get ahead of. what it all start. throughout history sanitation more and less sophisticated appeared and disappeared repeatedly the earliest facilities we know of appeared around 5000 years ago in places like today scotland crete and most impressively pakistan. was living in. because they actually. want to close in their own houses and the water supply and enter also each hour so the civilization. what incentive patient concept which is quite similar to what we are

using it would be. the 1st major breakthrough in modern low technology came when search john herrington invented the flush toilet in the late 16th century he was an english poet member of questions about 1st quite funny enough as a sort of game of thrones actor comparing to. his ajax device featured an elevated tank that emptied water into a bowl to wash away its contents. almost 200 years later in 775 the ass trap was patented trips a small amount of water in the drain to events were gases from rising up. aside from minor updates down the line this is pretty much how modern 1st homes work today. you push a button which opens a valve in the tank and the toilet flushes a floating device lowers and eventually opens another valve letting new water flow into the tank when it's full you're ready to go again but the tolerance self is

only half a deal really changed is how dispose of our waste after it's left the boat so that some presidents say that without the industrial revolution. happened in the mid eighties hundreds exploding populations in urbanization lead to rampant outbreaks of diseases in english cities. many diseases spread because drinking water was contaminated with sewage the 1st person to discover the direct link between human waste in an outbreak was a physician named john snow. blower allusions to. after a cholera outbreak ravaged a london neighborhood in $854.00 to prove that several cases had clustered around the single water pump next to a cesspit which was the go to solution for waste management in those days then came the great state. that's not the title for a new pixar flick it's what londoners called the horrible stench that envelop the city in the summer of 158 london swayze had been dumped or reckless into the thames

for decades but unusually high temperatures made the foul odor rising from the river unfairly unbearable this was the final straw and eventually led to the construction of one of the world's 1st modern sewage systems. and the industrial revolution started to go elsewhere modern sanitation came with it but with so many other privileges of the wealth they have to create colonized peoples did not get their fair share there are currently 2400000000 people in the world without sanitation without sanitation it's already is in their home or workplace and there's 4500000000 people so over half the world's population that don't have to manage sanitation systems from the toilet bowl rape treatment after waste this creates a huge problem in developing world where then people think they don't have a 20 right are definitely heading in the ok this sanitation crisis causes several

serious issues chief among them risks to health. lack of access to adequate sanitation contributes to the transmission of diseases and viral outbreaks and rest of the good. during the. $14.15 or so for. the important basic facilities according 282-9000 report by the world health organization in adequate sanitation is estimated to cost 432000 deaths due to diarrhoea annually open to for care should also puts people at risk. of becoming victims of violence especially women they face a higher risk of being sexually assaulted and these issues also have long term knock on effects it stops goes for example from going to school if they can safely hygiene if they go to the soul of a woman and then straight in that they may not go to school and have often. being unable to attend school makes it much harder to earn

a living later on let alone escape poverty. to tackle the issue wholesale session centers putting up johnson running into the sunset their support from their education and finances to kickstart a sanitation economy to turn the corner coalition they came up with the sanitation economy approach in 2017 and it's made up of 3 distinct areas to vastly oversimplifies by combining a marketplace for toilet related goods and services with a marketplace for sanitation and a data driven sanitation infrastructure communities can establish a growing self-sustaining economy in order to facilitate a transition from thinking about sanitation as a cost to thinking about it as a business opportunity we've worked with the asian development bank and world bank to understand the economic potential a thriving sanitation economy marketplace so we looked 1st and foremost at india as an example and what we found is that there is a market opportunity at $97000000000.00 u.s.

dollars in 2021. another big aspect of the future sanitation economy is innovation so the sunnah taking crisis is multi-faceted and there are many solutions that need policy and financial interventions but there are still so obviously any technologies needed. relatively speaking since the great stink not all that much has changed in how we handle sanitation but another pressing global issue is pushing activists and scientists to rethink the status quo of. climate change. as climate changes this can be even more challenging facilitation because for example if flooding increases then where people are relying on sites on the trains and washed out the contents of that latrines what amount of the state well they're going to cause help. but watch this condition. and other infrastructure

if there's droughts then people might not have enough water to. water board sewage systems. while climate change exacerbates the issues of vulnerable sanitation infrastructure outdated sanitation systems and many developed countries worsening the effects of climate change flushing the toilet accounts for some 30 percent of a person's average daily drinking water consumption all the toads use up to 14 leaders of water per flush even though 3 leaders might be plenty depending on what needs to go down the drain. it awarded grants to researchers to develop sustainable tunnel technology that could function without connections to the public sewage systems. university of technology for example are using the grant to work on water saving toilet system that employs microwave technology to human waste into electricity. cranfield

university in the u.k. use the grant to finance the development of the nano membrane toilet that can treat human waste without any extra will energy or water the toilet relies on a mechanism activated by the pull of a lever and they praise ation after vaporizing the way the liquids are filtered through special membrane. solar. and. many many people around the world. and reflect on the monument. enterprise ingenuity. throughout the pandemic many of us have got used to the idea of working remotely after all the less we come in contact with each other the less chance we have of

spreading the virus but what about health care itself before. lives upside down the trend towards telemedicine was already developing not every ailment requires an in person visits of the doctor a crisis to increase our appetite for digital consultations. i need to see a dermatologist at short notice. the next available appointment is in 4 months time . but then i discover a doctor offering online consultation. after entering a few personal details on her website i find myself talking to her just a few minutes later. yes i may get tired yeah i hands have been really really dry for quite a long time now and the it shipped it to. washing your hands more frequently

might even pages in his natural protective barrier this can lead to a kind of eczema so the 1st thing you need to do is apply hand quite a lot more often. in. the on line consultation costs 30 euros i consider that a price worth paying if i had a problem i was concerned about as i get help quickly and easily you can manage in many cases we can look at the patient to make an assessment based on the severity and extent of the problem and then also determine the degree of urgency of course that's no substitute for personal contact you still need doctor's surgery for physical checking all for certain technical equipment needed for a more precise diagnosis. the video consultation serves as a preliminary finding for diseases where a visual check by the doctor is enough this form of tell medical treatment has only been permitted in germany since 2019. in the coronavirus era

patients are happy for the opportunity to save time and avoid risk of infection and demand to soar. like so many other areas of life medical care is now also becoming digital lines to. people with chronic conditions can for example have their blood pressure monitored remotely by staff at a clinic. next i talked to a. health care management expert florian kind singer says patients in germany have become increasingly receptive to the concept of telemedicine this is lead to greater willingness among investors to provide funding that enables young companies to acquire new technologies caught in the time can get a lot of firms in germany of insufficient funding. that's especially the case with startups but that's no changing in some areas we're seeing many parts of the health sector getting a lot more capital. than able to catch up with us for example our companies now have a better set of all round with competent teams so they can develop

a broader scope. and for good. the digital boom has benefited and given birth to a lot of startups swedish company crew has developed a digital health that allows users to consult with a doctor live after registering online patients answer a series of questions about their symptoms and can then request an appointment. cruise network now extends to 900 doctors across europe covering all manner of medical conditions and shake. when infection inspect terrio infections headaches many different types of pain diarrhea and vomiting i infections everything that normally a general practitioner would deal with at short notice. try putting your head down said that your chin meets your chest. painful yes yes i

feel it on the right side of my head where the pain is. the services available in scandinavia france britain and now in germany too it's doctors speak a range of different languages in germany consultations are offered in german or english. prescriptions sick notes and referrals are all issued electronically but doesn't that raise data privacy concerns. as. a lot of people will have questions because it's all so new and updated privacy concerns are always great when it comes to health matters. we're seeing people getting used to it pretty quickly because they know that it works and that doctors who have tell you medical treatment training are able to find out a lot by asking the patient questions and his if you are also for. digital applications are now commonplace in the health care world in addition to remote consultations they now also enable aftercare for acute and chronic diseases ordering medication compiling patient data and even psychotherapy services.

when it comes to serious or life threatening conditions there is no substitute for a proper visit to the doctor but telemedicine can offer supplementary help and in germany for example health insurance companies now cover both types of treatment. you could say telemedicine working with a catch with fewer reasons to go out moving a whole lot less but that's where self motivation comes into play that much rather go for a jog and sit on a track train or bus to the doctors just us all off. yes good. question i'm so. you'll have good. warming up this really important. things to be stretching very important before going to actually engage. us in meeting your friends and neighbors see me once that

environmental suit to global 3000 on d w and on. the city w. news live from berlin people united in anger across the occupied palestinian territories and israel thousands of palestinians take to the streets to protest israeli air strikes on gaza and some cities protesters clashed with police there's been no letup in the conflict off the 9 days of fighting also coming up. spain sends in

troops to restore order in the north african enclave of see it says about ha of the 8000 african migrants who swam to the border have been sent to morocco. hello i'm a hell of a hunted tensions of israeli asteroids on gaza a spilling over into the occupied west bank and israeli cities and many cities protestors have been clashing with israeli police palestinians took part in the general strike in the largest show of their anger since the hostilities between israel and hamas began last week it comes amid growing international calls for an end to the fighting. on the streets of hay braun full of palestinian protesters part of a day of anger that saw strikes and demonstrations in jerusalem in the occupied

west bank a show of palestinian you do. shared outrage over the death toll in gaza and israeli policy toward the occupied territories. this is we had to put him at last we must all go out into the streets and fight in solidarity with our people dying in gaza because here we have settlements and checkpoints and an occupation and all palestinians must play a role. in the death toll rose again on both sides on tuesday on the israeli side rockets from gaza struck a house used by guest workers in the israeli town of ashdod killing 2 thai nationals. the sound of explosions is constant in israeli areas within the rockets range the iron dome anti-missile system stops most but not all. level claiming we've lived in this situation all our lives we could say that we're used to it but it's not logical that

a terrorist group is dictating how we live for a few hours you can rest then after that hamas launches rockets it can't continue like this. israeli air strikes on gaza continued fueling a humanitarian crisis most of the dead here are civilians and now thousands of gazans are cut off from clean water and have no access to medicines. hospitals already struggling with a coven 1000 pandemic are stretched to their limits israel says it is targeting leaders of the militant hamas movement that governs gaza and a system of tunnels israel says are used to move weapons. as global calls mount for an end to the bloodshed the white house says president biden told israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that he supported a cease fire but stopped short of calling for war meanwhile netanyahu has said israel will not stop airstrikes until hamas pays a price a price gazans are already paying. well you know we spoke to journalist

hasn't been lucia who is currently in gaza and i asked him about the situation there and the hospitals according to the officials from the ministry of health the system the health system in gaza is exhausted with many things is the 15 years of look a 2nd is the scale ations wrong time to time with israel and recent most recently is that a year off 19 and drained and exhausted the whole system the minister feels accused israel. many click clinics where were completely or partially damaged because of the airstrikes yesterday there was a clinic in the gaza city where a building across the street was attacked and the main lab. distinct the covered 19 samples is out of service now so in general we are

talking about existing system plus. the shortage of medicine and disposal materials for the hospitals where i'm joined now by michael freights and he's a journalist covering the middle east and executive editor of the media line news agency thank you very much indeed for being with us here on news now in your leaders are calling for a cease fire u.s. president joe biden says he supports one and did take a tough line with netanyahu in a phone call the day before and the u.n. security council held discussions on the israeli palestinian crisis and here today do you get the sense that there is movement here on the diplomatic front to end this crisis. absolutely and you know it sort of sadly tragically follows the pattern in the previous conflicts conflicts that went into ground invasions israel was given by the international community. slight demands for the 1st 2 weeks of

bombing from the air and that pretty much exhausted the tolerance that the nations the world had for may started squeezing to stop and israel did do that the leadership of israel is faced though with their people saying why do we do this every 4 to 6 years why do we do this to you know with such precision what we have to stop you have to prevent these rockets from flying again and that of course makes it go on and on non we're also involved in in the election cycles on both sides of the conflict with snakes things even a little more cloudy the palestinians as well as the israelis so there's a lot of play without even going to the discussion of the proxy war fought on behalf of iran ok he mentions the over the leadership of the elections and i wanted to ask your thoughts on this what do you make of how the leadership in the palestinian territories and in israel have handled the so far. well the

palestinians are of course divided between fatah and hamas. has to take in the the leader every time there's a conflict may say to the palestinian people our armed resistance is working it's noisy it's tragic we lose lives we lose people we lose buildings but we get somewhere and we end up with some tangible results in the end where as fatah talks a lot promises a lot and nothing happens don't forget that there's supposed to be palestinian elections which would be seminal for the palestinians the hamas people want to once and for all take over legally as well as practically they believe that they have the chance to do this there's a lot of intelligence gathering going on as israel demonstrates how it responds to attempts to overrun the anti-missile system that goes on and what about how i

promise amid promises now who has handled this conflict so far we know that the bombing just hasn't stopped on both sides how much support does he have domestically for this. he has support support with strings attached with the people want to support him because they want to support a leader when the country is being blown apart but at the same time they're saying you know you've been here we've done this this is not new it's it's really repetition already you've got to actually do something so we're seeing sort of a and were an urge on the part of netanyahu that we haven't seen before in and when use or desperation but he must have much more solid results and the people must believe that it's going to be over once and for all and not come back in 46 years. all right michael fritz and thank you very much for your analysis pleasure. let's take a look at other stories making headlines around the world police in boulder roots have raided the offices of the country's largest independent online media outlets

to buy and shut down its website to buy has been a key source of information on the opposition protests that started last year is the latest crackdown on free media in belarus. german police have caught one of the key suspects in a high profile robbery case in 2019 thieves stole price this historical jewels from the famous green vaults museum in the eastern city of dresden the arrests on monday nights took place during a raid on an apartment in berlin. and spain is sending back thousands of migrants from its north african enclave of say uta on monday a record number of migrants arrives in a single day thousands of them some of them swimming from 2 kilometers along the mediterranean coastline breached the border from a neighboring morocco spain's prime minister pedro sanchez has made an emergency trip to see it amid worsening bilateral relations with morocco.

they have been arriving all day and night. most of them rich say you to by swimming some 2 kilometers along the coast of morocco or by using inflatable boats or on land by scaling this 10 meter high wall which spain had erected. spanish authorities quickly put a stop to all of that busily rounding up all the migrants and sending them back to morocco definitely not a place they want to return to. the spanish authorities meant business and certainly didn't hesitate using force for some it looked like it was literally sink or swim. spain has sent in more police and military to secure the area the spanish prime minister petro sanchez has also arrived in ca before the trip he made this statement.

my priority as spain's prime minister at this moment is to guarantee the control of transit through the border with morocco provide the cities of say you to and melia with everything they need to resolve the humanitarian crisis as a result of the arrival of people and to proceed with the immediate return of people and i repeat the immediate return of everyone who has made an irregular entrance to say you and i stipulated in the agreements spain and miracles of scientists years ago. the a move. the definition. of migrants from africa have been attempting to get into europe via this speech for years but they have never crossed in such numbers. on some reports as well as this footage suggests moroccan police allowed many of the migrants to cross over into say you to in the 1st place it is because of a diplomatic spat with spain morocco is upset that a separatist leader who is seeking independence for the western sahara region ruled

by morocco is true. getting medical treatment in spain. officials in madrid say they are now reinforcing security in say you try to prevent any further arrivals. well we spoke to saskia bricmont a member of the greens in the european parliament she says that the events in seattle are proof of the failed migration policy the us outsourcing its own policy is actually asking 3rd countries such as morocco such as turkey such as libya to take care of migrants in oregon to unload them to cross the border and to come to you but i think to do that to you has to question itself about the policies that supply know while we prevent them to to to to seek for a better life we've heard that in many ways we've heard them saying nothing and every day shows that there are death in independent tyranny and. this is also

because they you have to take responsibility and to adopt a proper migration policy and not only by relying on 3rd countries. to do so. to some football news now in the german men's national squad for next month's european football championship will be announced on wednesday by next thomas miller is widely expected to be recalled to the squad having been dropped in 2019 his form with by and has pushed the 2014 world cup when a back into those plans as a parting coach aims to leave on a high. thomas modest footballing real nice aunts arguably started when he was dumped from both the boy and german national teams in 2019 the shock was seismic for a man with an almost regal attachment to football silverware but the size and strength

of his response has been. even greater. 1821 at last. and a handy flick at by and he returned to the starting 11 and set about building a compelling case for his ring clues in the german team he added bundesliga titles 9 and 10 for him personally and the 2nd champions league title too but he brings more than smarts skills and the art of football timing. the most intense season insists yet. the 31 year old is also an unabashed. not a father but the man who birthed one of football's all time favorite dad jokes. you know we him by and we have robert live on. the north. luckily thomas mullet is not playing for laughs with the man who dumped him you know can do. one of those of course i was also perplexed by the national coach's

sudden decision. and i would just like to assure you that the game is not. his intention was clear but as to whether he plays for germany at the euros live will have the final say on wednesday. and this is. up next is the documentary called tsunami's danger from the depths it can also find much more news and analysis as well as video on a website that is t w dot com i mean i'm a homage thanks for watching by. television species. expend. looking to display the secret language of. your research team to the pacific. whales stores june 4th.
