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're going to get their money back from you and make a return a fully 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 biotech 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 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 startup scene 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 can this put duct this is followed by other funding stages a startup should have time to grow before it has to turn a profit. and that 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. and 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 bagman is a biochemist and an investor he's driving research into. 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 where the 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 at 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 they're crazy figures. it's hard nevertheless it's still hard to attract 18000000 euros

a 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. that's one. 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 figgy is the company made losses but investors were prepared

to keep injecting fresh capital even well before the coronavirus pandemic the founders were tired of trying to develop their at the time unproven therapeutic approach for the sort of we don't really have clearly defined work and leisure time so. i see it as a privilege that we're able to live our dream. and his wife is named the team behind the biotech vaccine have migrant backgrounds like one in 5 company found as in germany the same goes for sophie too 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 are being treated differently into something positive for me personally it spurred me on to prove myself to say

i'll show you one piece of advise him of the sack. many innovations are still out there waiting on the hard drives or in laboratories and many entrepreneurs that he gets approved. which brings me what most of us have been sitting on for almost every day of our lives. 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 back seems transparent all these innovations are rightfully hailed as a medical milestone. 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.

because 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 you know goes in there. that's exactly the point goes in there and then bashes you know then now 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. sanitation industry a multi-billion dollar business that goes well beyond 20. election and treatment of waste and the production of products that can be reintegrated into global so i think. that's not going to handle it so why did 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 2 days. because they actually. want to close in their own houses and the water supply and enter also each house. the civilization. water and sony corporation concept which is quite similar to what we

are using to 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 the 1st rung quite funny now as a sort of game of actually going to. his ajax device featured an elevated tank that emptied water into a bowl to wash away its contents. almost 200 years later in $775.00 the acid trip was patented tripp's 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 house 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 we dispose of our waste after it's left the boat it's not too crazy to say that without that the industrial revolution might have 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 illusionist. after a cholera outbreak ravaged the london neighborhood in $854.00 to prove that several cases had clustered around the single water pump next to us. 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 1958 london swayze had been dumped or reckless into the

thames for decades but unusually high temperatures made the foul odor arising from the river unfairly unbearable and this was the final straw and then eventually led to the construction of one of the world's 1st modern sewage systems. in 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 colonize peoples did not get their fair share there are currently 2400000000 people in the world without sanitation without sanitation it's already it's in their home or workplace and there's 4500000000 people so over half the world's population that don't have secret manage sanitation systems from the toilet bowl rate treatment for waste this creates a huge problem in developing world where then people say they don't have a 20 that are definitely getting in the open 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 was in response the good during the 'd during the. 2014 and 15 so for. the importance of these basic facilities according 282-1000 report by the world health organization in adequate sanitation is estimated to cost 432000 deaths due to diarrhea and you in the open the situation 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 effect it stops goes for example if i'm going to school if they can't safely hygene if they go to that's only for women and men straight in that they may not go to school and have often problems 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 isn't just part of johnson running into the sunset they support communities education and finances to kickstart a sanitation economy teleported coalition they came up with the sanitation economy approach in 2017 and it's made up of 3 distinct areas 2 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's a market opportunity at $97000000000.00 u.s.

dollars in 20. 1. another big aspect of the future sanitation economy is innovation so the sanitation crisis is multi-faceted and there are many solutions any policy and financial interventions but there are still some areas many 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. climate change as climate change is this can be even more challenging facilitation because for example if flooding increases then where people are relying on sites on the greens and wash out the contents of that latrines what amount of the steak well they're going to cause help. but was is can destroy the water pipes and other infrastructure if there's droughts then people might not have enough water. water

borne sewage systems. while climate change exacerbates the issues of vulnerable sanitation infrastructure outdated sanitation systems in many developed countries are worsening the effects of climate change. flushing the toilet accounts for some 30 percent of a person's average daily drinking water consumption. 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 toilet technology that could function without connections to the public sewage systems. versity of technology for example are using the grant to work on water saving toilet system that employs microwave technology to transform 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 the lever and they prey zation after vaporizing the way the liquids are filtered through a special membrane. many many people around the world need. and reflect on the monument. enterprise and. 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. except 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 mean that's why my hands have been really really dry for quite a long time now and the inch of it to. washing your hands more frequently

might have impaired your skin it's natural protective barrier this can lead to a kind of eczema so the 1st thing you need to do is apply hand a lot more often. the online 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. yet. 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 the 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 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. 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 that's enabled us 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 frequent. 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 line 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. to hire an infection inspect terrio infections headaches many different types of pain diarrhea and vomiting eye infections everything that normally a general practitioner would deal with at short notice. try putting your head down so that your chin meets your chest. painful 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. far as a lot of people will have questions because it's also new and data 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 in his if you 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 narrowboat working with a catch with fewer reasons to go out moving a whole lot less but that's where self motivation comes into play and i'd much rather go for a jog and sit on a track train or bus to the doctors just ask all of. yes you know. i'm so sporty doing a good. warming up for this really important. and serious stretching very important before we're going to actually. see meeting

new friends and neighbors see me that. the pandemic means many of us aren't commuting to work. just on moving around and i think that walking from the desk in french doesn't count because you get some real exercise get outside. sure running makes you beautiful running makes you rich and often running you talk great. running makes you stronger and stronger. to your own drummer. for a different perspective with. exercise releases endorphins keep warm skin smooth

light on tuesday but missiles fired from there were intercepted by israel's defense system israel says it responded with targeted strikes prime minister binyamin netanyahu says they will continue as long as it takes to restore security and they're having success. about this i've received your views about many attacks against thomas and islamic jihad they received blows they did not expect i have no doubt that we set them back many years. israel says it's targeting leaders of the militant hamas movement that governs gaza and a system of tunnels used to move weapons. but continued israeli airstrikes on gaza fueling a humanitarian crisis most of the dead in gaza are civilians and thousands of people were cut off from clean water and have no access to medicines hospitals are already struggling with the covered 19 pandemic

a stretched to the limits efforts and now another driver the united nations to try and find a diplomatic solution to the crisis france's drafted a security council resolution calling for a ceasefire but there is disagreement among council nations on the best way forward the palestinian ambassador to the u.n. is demanding action. this is what we are talking about the security council is shameful act of not even expressing a unified position calling for the end of this aggression. but as long as rockets are still being fired from both sides and into the conflict is nowhere in sight. well a we spoke with journalist has them by lucia in gaza and i asked him about the situation in gaza hospitals. according to the officials from the ministry of health the

system the health system in gaza is exhausted with many things 1st is the 15 years of blockade 2nd is the scale ations from time to time with israel and recent most recently is that a year off of it 19 and that drained and exhausted the health system the minister felt accused israel. many click clinics where were completely or partially damaged because of the airstrikes yesterday there was a clinic in the garden 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. and the united states has condemned what it calls anti

of information on the opposition protests that started last year its latest crackdown on free media in. spain is sending back thousands of migrants from its north african enclave of sea uta on monday a record number of migrants arrived in a single day some of them swam almost 2 kilometers along the mediterranean coastline and breach the border with neighboring morocco spain's prime minister had rahsaan just made an emergency trip to sita amid worsening bilateral relations with morocco. they had 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 sanchez has also arrived in ca before the trip he made this statement. him through the will 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 seo to emelia 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 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 inuit. there's nothing. the migrants from africa have been attempting to get into europe via this beach 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 because of a diplomatic spat with spain morocco was 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 utah to prevent any further arrivals. well earlier we spoke to saskia bricmont a member of the greens in the european parliament she told us that the events 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 or a nut 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 supplying know while we prevent them to to to to seek for a better life we've heard that to many as we've heard them saying if nothing and every day shows that there are death in independent tyranny and. this is also because a you has to take responsibility and to adopt a proper migration policy and not only by relying on 3rd countries. to do so people across britain are celebrating the easing of coronavirus restrictions by going to pubs restaurants and cinemas for the 1st time in months but the spread

of a new variant identified in india is causing concern cases of the variants have more than doubled within a week in the u.k. and the town of bolton is the hardest hit as both 2 cubes britain waits. search vaccinations are underway in this northern english town to combat a rapid rise in cases of the covert 19 variant 1st identified in india it's already the dominant strain here and is likely to become dominant nation warn that what we've noticed in sports are virtually simple some. of the transmission has been happening in the younger age groups i've been reading a lot of pressure on central government especially to make sure that we can rely the vaccination as quickly as possible on essentially what i've been saying in recent days after heart surgery the whole or so before the end of may this is a delicate moment in the u.k. to fight against that 19 was thousands have been vaccinated here in the last few

days alone these measures are unlikely to contain the spread but the same variant already detected in dozens of areas in england the u.k. has had a successful back the nation campaign so far some 70 percent of adults have had at least one dose but that still leaves a considerable number who are unvaccinated and authorities here a warning is among that population that this strain could spread like wildfire this variant is considered more transmissible than the u.k.'s dominant kent strength what isn't known is by how much a significant increase could see hospitalizations. but there is reason for hope in both and the majority of those in hospital haven't been vaccinated despite being eligible assign vaccines a working. definition we've seen a j.c.b. and suggests that. our current vaccines do confer immunity against

even this new variant we're picking up novel virus infections but we're not seeing severe disease emerge. in a fearful way so. so i think it's quite likely that whoopi. as some remain cautious others are enjoying newfound freedoms. socializing indoors returned across the country this week with the restrictions due to be lifted in just over a month but the government says the next few days will be key data around case numbers and transmissibility will help determine whether england continues down its path to freedom or puts the brakes on its road map out of lock down. some 4 football news now in the german men's national squad for next month's european football championship assumed to be an els by minix thomas is expected to
