expedition into the language of wales, deciding part of underwater listening. if you're getting your window into their, their life member, you would never see the company research team to the pacific to the language of wales june 4th on dw bible powered human machines, high tech, hybrid set of long kept it our imagination in science fiction and filled but what about real life? all we on the cost of a brave new world way technology and human biology merged all that and more

coming up. the welcome to tomorrow day used to be the other day to do so now day whereas to grow and hold arctic and even experience present station of touch. again, they true miracles of modern engineering and markets implanted under the skin. can open doors and store pulse with these high tech advances are obscene to medical technology. that how far do we really want to go with the merging of human machine? with a lot gets asked of us nowadays educational and career development, lifelong learning. there's no end of knowledge that we have to cram into our

wouldn't it be great if we could just transfer all those facts from a hard drive directly into our brain. just hook up the computer and upload reams of data directly into our memory. ah, it's the stuff of science fiction, but might one day become reality? ah, we decided to ask an expert on neurotechnology the brain machine interface. thomas giblet says fryeburg university and south western germany linked fund. it sounds exciting and this video here has a realistic look to it. and, and of course it's standards i 5, some of the technology does seem quite realistic, realistic, but thomas goods is an electrical engineer for more than 20 years. he's been researching medical devices that can be implanted directly into the human body. things like heart pacemakers and cochlear implants,

i can help restore hearing. one of his projects is developing electrodes that can be connected to prosthetics and then provide sensory feedback to their wearer. in ordinary robotic prosthetic allows the where to grasp manipulate objects, but they can't feel whether they're holding a tangerine or a solid piece of stone. in fryeburg laboratory researchers connected sensors to the prosthetic fingers, the sensors are designed to transmit electrical signals to peripheral nerves. and then to the brain, but figuring out exactly which nerve fiber in the arm is the one the sensor should connect to is harder than you might think. ready ah enough fibers, basically all the machine a single nerve and your arm has about 10000 fibers and they're responsible for all sorts of things. for your fingers, hands for arms, for sensing pain in temperature,

just by looking at the fiber. you can't tell what it in codes have, i think with the oh, that's why the interface needed to have as many contact points to the nerve as possible. in this case on each side. and then the ultra thin electrode was implanted directly into the nerves. in this case, to nerves in the upper arm with a bit of training, this man learned how to sense objects and tell whether he's holding something hard or something soft. i. so why can electronic components communicate with living nerve cells? it's feasible because many bodily processes are controlled by electrical signals, just like in a machine. these electrical impulses are generated by neurons,

say in our brain, and then conducted along the neural pathway. when the impulse is reached, their destination save our hand, the commands they carry can make our muscles move. it also works in the other direction. everything we feel see, or smell, is coded into electrical impulses and sent to command central in our brain. when we attach electrodes to our scalp, this electrical activity in our brain can even be monitored outside our body in a procedure called an e g. o. but what if this technology was put to a different use, say by the military. what if combat helmets used by soldiers were equipped with sensors designed not to measure brain activity, but to manipulate it? that's the premise behind a reason german t episode in which military researchers sought to develop home. and that could exploit subconscious powers or sha, on the perception of pain,

nothing v and it's not just t v, the u. s. army began researching mines zapping military helmets. back in 2010. this is though it's a real program and it's not being carried out in secret english when it's been reported honestly. and researchers in the us have access to a huge budget in with our whole thing. does worry me when going through other scientists and entrepreneurs are getting on board. i will tell my boss, you must, is also hoping to develop a brain computer interface in 2020. his company neuro link unveiled a brain implants called the link said to contain more than 1000 electro channels. the design calls for smart robot to insert the device through an opening in the skull directly into the brain. in this pig implant tract activity in the part of the brain connected to the snout musket believes it's

the real deal. everything that's encoded in memory you could you could upload. you could basically store your memories as a backup and restore the memories. if you could potentially download them into a new body or into a robot body, the future is going to be where so is this the wave of the future? will we one day be able to download a backup of our brain? many neurologist and researchers scoff at the idea. thomas stieglitz is also a skeptic. ah, that's going to be downloading the entire contents of our brain onto a hard drive. would mean that we need to attention electrodes to the entire brain on both sides. and they have to be capable of registering the interactions between a 1000000000 cells slow because i don't believe that feasible physically or technically me and of course,

ideas like this. also raise all sorts of ethical questions. everything about me would be accessible to anyone who had my data, everything from my bank account information to my most secret desires engine willie one day, have to choose whether to plug in or opt out of a brain computer interface. not anytime soon, but perhaps we should start thinking about what will happen if science fiction becomes scientific reality. scientists have also got these amazing creatures on the radar. that's one reason. so koby too may have originated in bass, but it probably wasn't transmitted directly to humans. the novel corona virus probably puts 3 penguins or another intermediary host before infecting humans. in

the wake of the corona virus fears and midst about that have intensified some seem to think of them as flying monster. but scientists say we haven't gotten them from these amazing creatures. they glide silently through the night. they can live to an amazingly old age, and they remain unharmed by viruses, fatal to many other species that possess super powers. we humans can only dream of if one animal has found the secret to survival, it's the back. researches have long been trying to crack the science behind this secret. now they've made a big step for with that stupid powers are included in that genes. you haven't pushed in for gleiss on normand by comparing bat genomes. we have made new findings about how bad are able to cope with or deadly for other creatures. the

for the labor basin totally stand point does me that could help us to slow down human aging processes and alleviate illnesses for long and consciously, not yet to get a good wraps. since long before the corona virus pandemic, they've been regarded as transmitters of dangerous viruses. including rabies, but is all fear just defined. the atmosphere here in cape is relax. a group is getting ready to go on an excursion with the german environment organisation, not just the bat, close place nearby is said to be teeming with them. since it's exciting minds, you never really see them apart from fluttering around since the dea also know they're animals steeped in myth. and this mutant of lands and mysterious from the

high. and they only come out at night coming on. don't going to go on that makes it exciting. don't feel it's still far too light to see bats. so patron gets, has time to dispel a few prejudices about the mysterious animals gas. susan expert said that protection for now bu, in central germany and people often express their fears to her because if he thought of comes, a lot of people really do believe that they might get infected with rabies when about flies passing a new movie cut, we have a month that is definitely not true. that is only possible if you get some people believe that when that's why overhead they lose saliva and that the saliva might drop into their glass when they're sitting in the garden at night and give them rabies. some people have really deep seated fears in the eighty's all these fears justified. why a bats able to live with mrs. that people find so terrifying at the max planck

institute and dressed. and michelle hiller, hands, together with international research groups, almost completely decoded the genetic code of 6 back species, and found evidence of genetic adaptations. norman, we've examined the genomes for genes, which they've acquired during the course of that evolution audience comes. and we found genes that have anti viral functions, and these genes hinder the multiplication of viruses within cells, young indians and, but that's not all. scientists have also discovered the genes that unleashed inflammatory responses in the body simply disappears. the research is suspect that these 2 genetic adaptations enable the back to control its immune system better. it makes the creature more resistant to pathogens, but that's not the bats, only superpower. they can also become incredibly old. just compare them with other

mammals. usually it's the case that heavy animals live longer. a common dual mouse weighs about 35 grams and can live up to 6 years. an african elephant can weigh 6 tons and live to be 70 years old. and now the exception of brand spat weighing in at 10 grams condemned to be $41.00. that's quite a lifespan. the research is believe the animal's longevity is linked to the fact that bats of the only mammals truly capable of flying fluke phase. call it the ability to fly means that they can escape from most predators. although that cut mortality rate for definitely the voice of, on the other hand of its ability to fly means its body weight is restricted as the scope of the specially if we take the 2 things together. it makes sense from an evolution point to take advantage of the longer lifespan to produce more often

bring dealing over labor. respondents, whoops, mail, not com, and bad have to remain fit and healthy until an advanced age to do that. and a little more. so to the business of fit on, because on site it's usually only have one baby a year, but that's up to quite a loss of offspring. over the course of a lifetime, the bat supporting expedition has reached its destination and the location devices start to go off and really kicking off here, right above that. i heard it. fascination and a rough and closely intertwined. that's the only mammals in germany that still might carry rabies, but how greater risk is that of getting infected? and if you wouldn't be mas transish, that would never attack human, that can bite when you touch them. but that is the only reason that they would do so because they aren't used to it because if you pick them up with a clause or

a glove, it says no problem. so by that is the danger of getting rabies from a bass in germany. it's very no, that's the, not the virus spitting months to the animals that we could learn a lot from. michelle hiller and his colleagues are planning to unlock more back gina, health and us command. if alternately, we hope that the findings can be made widely accessible. come up and help to alleviate illnesses like cancer and slow down aging processes, spots esa. so for lunch on the dance a long way off yet. the bass isn't going to surrender the secret to its super powers. teeth. if that is read, why do you have a science question? you'd like a send it in as

a video or voice mail. if we featured on the shows, you'll get a little surprise from us as a thank you. come on, just done this week. the question comes from me by the way, brown in nigeria. why is it a day longer and the night shorter summer autonomy rotates on its own? it takes 24 hours one day for us to go full circle when we were on the side of the planet. turning towards the sun, we experienced the dawning of the day close to the 10th wards to some so much g amounts that might be received, increases as the earth continues to soon, we begin to move out of the sun again and in the darkness. the rotation of the earth on its own axis is what causes day and night but our planet doesn't merely

spend on it. so not like all the planets and also the system. it's also all but surround to us takes a year to complete this elliptical circuit. as it revolves around the sun, the earth is tilted on its axis. that means that the northern and the southern hemisphere is ultimately lean towards the sun during the planet august around the sun. from september, the southern hemisphere tips towards the sun bearing springs. the days begin to grow longer. the closest place is to the south pole the show for the night. in some regions at the top step, some doesn't go down in the northern hemisphere by contrast to night get longer because it's tilted away from the sun. the further north you are, the last flights you receive in december,

the sun doesn't rise a tool and some up to carry as me from march. the northern hemisphere starts leaning back towards the sun begins to climb higher and higher in the sky. and the days grow longer and longer until the summer after that they start to get shorter again. and i the changing of the seasons also affects our weather, wind, rain, thunderstorms, almost all weather conditions occur within the lowest layer of the atmosphere. the troposphere meteorologist try to get accurate for cause so that we can back down the hatches when extreme weather is headed our way. but there's another type of weather space, whether we shouldn't take that too likely over the

polar lights, the more than a spectacular light show from the heavens. there also indicators of space, whether the more intensely the curtains of light shine and the further towards the equator, they reach the greatest danger posed by space. whether to our infrastructure here on us with the polar night that caused by clouds of electrically charged particles emitted by the sun. this particle stream can confuse gps navigation, disrupt airline communications, and even paralyzed parts of the power grids. it sounds like a catastrophe, straight out of a science fiction film. but so the storms are real. we've just been lucky. these past years. i have been woken up with a phone call from your control. they called me at 7 o'clock in the morning asking

me that there has been a big solar event. do we have to have to shut down the traffic in europe? i had 10 minutes to respond to the space, but that is caused by the sun. it's supplies us with warmth and sustain life, but sometimes there is flight effect the from our vantage point on us, the sun may seem serene, but things start to look a lot different up close. the sun is a massive fusion reactor, fusing hydrogen into helium. this nuclear reaction transforms over 4000000 tons of mass into pure energy. every single 2nd around the clock fund is the source of space whether

you have picked him out works at the european space operations center or east soak in dumb stance. germany, he manages the space whether office, which keeps around the clock on what's happening on the surface of the me. data about the sun arrives here in real time through an online portal. the information is provided by hundreds of ground based telescopes such as this one on the island of kind of important data also arrives here from about a dozen satellites, the beam, their information to us from space. but what causes space, whether and what effects can it have? let's take the, we'll put it here a bit closer to the sun during the reality so that the things are not in a, in

a perfect scale. but it's easy to see the sun, them, it's a constant stream of charged path. the solo wins the us is exposed to this bombardment of particles from space. fortunately for us, the earth is largely protected from the soda when by its atmosphere, magnetic fields. but sometimes the solar wind can erupt into a storm we would see a flash, that would be the soul of flap release of electromagnetic energy from the sun. the next thing that we would detect when we measure the environment in space, is that they would have energy particles coming from the sun to what's via. and then finally, there would be an injection of enormous pull out of class from the sun, which b 1000000000 tons of the matter from the sun itself. dejected into space with the speeds which could exceed 3000 kilometers per 2nd. initially. when that

happens, the scientists rely on data from satellites. how big is the plasma cloud, and how fast is it travelling? and is the earth in its path to assess the danger, the scientists need one more crucial piece of information. the. so this plasma cloud carries among the thick field of its own. and if this magnetic field in the plasma cloud is pointing to the opposite direction, down the money, the field of the us, then we would trigger a big, devastating, dramatic storm that would impact all the infrastructure that we have on us. high voltage power lines can act like giant antennas. when these high energy particles hit the atmosphere, the magnetic storms can be intense enough to d,

stabilize the grid, or even damaged transformers causing power outages. came 9909. a g o magnetic storm triggered a major blackout in canada that left about 6000000 people without power hours. the polar lights were visible from far away as the mediterranean decades later on, globally networked. well, there's even more dependent on modern technology, navigation system, ad travel, shipping and satellite communications. a solar storm could paralyze these digital systems hours or even days. and the impact would be dramatic. studies suggests that the global economy could suffer billions of euros in last is due to production and supply disruption. that's why the space where the team is working to raise awareness of the danger. power grids and other critical infrastructure need to be

tested and upgraded if necessary, and government needs to make sure the emergency plans are in place. the master will also need early warning said that they can move to a protected location on the i s s. before the storm we are improving our badness. that's how i would put it. but the important thing is that things happen very fast. if we detect the big solar event, it indeed hits the earth within 15 to 17 hours. that's not the time to start to make planning. the plan must exist before that. to help us prepare here on the solar over to and the park is solar probes plan to venture deeper into the atmosphere than ever before. the information the 2 probes got that will help scientists gain a better understanding of the solar corona that might help the solar weather team

in dumb better predicted dangerous solar flat, and more time to prepare for a solar storm. here on the you can find, move that to make a story from the world of science on our website and on twitter. for today, we'll be back next week with another addition of tomorrow today. and so then by, by the ah, the news

. the news the news ah, the magic corner check for for me and some great help more is to boot the w travel off. we go. the green. you feel worried about the

planet? on the, on the, on the green remains to join me for the green transformation. for me, for you i look closely ah, listen carefully. don't know how to go. i feel the matches. discover the world around you. subscribe to

w documentary on youtube. a deal with words where i come from, we don't run away from a conflict patient when i was 5 years old, my father took me to his friends and i was put on the spot. a sports i learned so early enter your soul as a language and a good thought. 5 is a conversation. must lead opponent understand that thinking new of them in to get close otherwise comscore it's not on like a tough interview really. when interviewing politicians are whole pro ceo as you have to wait for the right moment. just to get around the defense, then make your move without you have to take risks to get results.

i've got else and i work at the w the ah, this is dw lie from the you says it the hijacking while the us call it piracy call for sanctions against the roofs intensify after one of its fighter jets forces a civilian passenger plane to land in men's and a prominent opposition activist is arrested also on the program informing one red bulls max staff and wednesday, monaco grand prix leapfrogging well champions. there is time to, to the top of the drivers. ah,

i'm so gale. welcome to the program. you leave me tonight to consider new sanctions against bella. ruth's after authorities in men's ca forster, brian had planed to land and the rest of the passenger on board exiled. the better was an activist or romance approach, the practice of which was traveling from greece. lithuania, when the aircraft was diverted to bella, ruth, escorted by a fighter jet because of an alleged bum threat. the incident spoke, global outrage request and the this is driving the hijacking and ation piracy island. and ryan s a k g. b agents were on the flight and left after touch down in minsk. well the roofs rejects the accusations as unfounded the crowd at vilnius airport waiting for hours for a plane that finally arrived without robin protest,

davis on board. a message from the regime in belarus. critics aren't safe anywhere even in the air. i am, we are rovan protests, of ich solidarity for the blogger and activists who now faces up to 15 years in prison. protests of which was living in exile. he's a co founder of nita, an activist channel on the telegram messaging app, used to help organize protests against the barriers in government. on sunday, the ryan air flight he was on had almost reached vilnius when it was forced to make a new turn and head with military escort being here to minsk passengers described in our long ordeal on the ground that started off with better ruthie and police taking protests of edge into custody. they just came and the 1st of all, i think the guy, the journalists out from the lane and then they started barking. the passengers

european and us diplomats quickly condemned the arrest as well as the diversion of the plane. you commission president or cellphone. the lion tweeted the outrageous and illegal behavior of the regime and bella risk will have consequences. she continued those responsible for the ryan air hijacking must be sanctioned. the protests of it just needs the colleagues have also called for sanctions. was once the international pressure should be increased, the protests will not help. the people cannot fight guns with you don't, you know, there should be economic pressure. boy, out of the regime and you, european politicians to finally ask what would be effective in their orders. but yet, europe and leaders are discussing suspending transport links between belarus and the you as well as suspending by the rules in over flights. other sanctions are in the works and effort to make the regime pay for its defiance of international and

human rights law. let's get more on the you reaction to this incident from the data abuse at brussels bureau chief alexandra found. welcome, alexandra. so that you lead us meeting tonight to discuss the blocks reaction, what's on the table? an array of potential punitive measures. that is what's on the table. some member states such as lead to india or poland, are saying that it's what's needed is a non fly zones over belie ruth. they are calling on suspending old t in union of slides over the aerospace they are also in favor of spending. beth b a r c and state own airline from landing at european union, airports, and friends has always come, come forward with a sort of proposal to also discuss pending old traffic,

including ground transits from b r a to the european union. something that will have major effect on the country's economy and we will see what they are able to decide. but that's totally visible, that there are under a lot of pressure to act after they have chosen very strong language to condemn the incident in minsk. so does that pressure mean that we are likely to see a unified reaction? while the decision today will definitely be another, a test for other blocks foreign policy that was struggling in the past last week. the european union and wanted to speak with one voice. and to release a statement on the east l guys, a crisis that was not possible because hungry block that statement hungry, blocked also a declaration condemning china for the security law in hong kong. so if you can see

it's been difficult for the european union to, to find to speak with one voice. so we will see if hungry and victor all, but it's considered a strong ally of lobby. me, it will be on boards. but we at least can, can expect a statement released by the majority of member states. ok, let's talk about the influence of russia behind this. we'll hear now from the see of ryan, and i say this is michael o'leary, who says that there was security agents on the flight. this was a case of state sponsored. i was a state sponsored hijacking state sponsored piracy, i think was very fighting for the crew for the passengers who were held under armed guard had their bag searched and when it was clear, it appears that the intent of the russian authorities was to remove a journalist and his travelling companion and we believe there was also some k g,

b agents, offloaded off the aircraft as well. i'm excited about the presumption they said president lucas shank wouldn't have taken such a dramatic step without it being signed by the kremlin. so is this likely to affect the already fraught relations between the, you and russia? well, that is something that we can really su, i mean, russia was the reason for leaders to come together and half the dinner tonight. the 1st place to discuss the relations with russia that are being described as being at the lowest level and decades, even according to foreign policy chief. however, they're all always member states arguing that's important to, to try to work together with russia because the european union needs russia to solve international crisis, for example. so we'll see if they can have a common position on that. what is clear is this, that this operation and means could not happen without the support of

a russia it's secret service. and it's also clear that alexander cushion call could not be able to hold on to power for such a long time without letting me put in support. ok, thank you for that. i think sandra funded in brussels turn to some other stories, making a news at this hour, starting in men mob, all the countries ousted leader who g as attended, a court hearing in person for the 1st time since the manager in february. seem here in archive footage she's facing a series of charges including excitement to sedition. a lawyer say she remains defiant and in good spirits. you had a 1st, a face to face meeting with them before the hearing. i think the police in israel say they have shot and killed and assailant to stamps. 2 people in jerusalem. one of the wounded man was a soldier thompson in the city. hi, following israel's 11 day war with mass medicines in garza wall street journal

i've been shaking north quito province and the democratic republic of congo following saturdays interruption of mountaineering. near near. near gong go at least 15 people die down scores more missing after the volcano started spilling lava. eventual authorities say the situation on the ground is still too chaotic for assessment, testing casualties, and damage. the aerial pictures show a trail of destruction, a community over run by lava, from saturday's fatal volcanic eruption. hundreds of homes were destroyed in eastern congo. people told of how they've been forced to leave behind their loved ones. as a lover approached me, i was with my husband who's old and couldn't leave the house because he was sick and couldn't walk. i said to myself, i can't go alone. i went back to at least trying to get him out,

but i couldn't. i ran away and he got bent inside. when i was sweating, trying to lift an old man who died in the end, i lost my strength when i saw that the lava was coming against him. many, many more people are missing since the erection. the survivors left filled with uncertainty about the fate of their family members and their own futures. there's been criticism of the authority for failing to alert residents in comprehensible how a respectable and funded institution like the goma volcano observatory can fail to warn of an eminent eruption not even an hour before and while the city of goma may have been spared. there's no question these villages to the east have paid a heavy price for now and in formula one red bulls monk for stop and has

landing of a passenger plane and batteries, some european leaders are calling for an even toughest stance against the country. since the last autumn, d u has imposed 3 rounds of sanctions on batteries. after all graphically to alexander lucas shank crack down on opposition. protest as following last year disputed election. the countries trade ties with the e u and his member states has given them the ability to cause problems for the better russian economy. take germany, for example. it's one of the better is top 4 trading trading thomas the 20 in 2019 bell or is imported goods with 1500000000 euros from germany, most of it with machinery, chemical products. and most of it was large gym and companies like buyer. siemens dimer and comments bank are active in the country. but when it comes to batteries is exports by far the most important destination is russia. it's gigantic neighbor by 40 percent of bellow, roosters exports,

that's twice as much as went to western european countries combined. and the united kingdom, germany, poland, lithuania, and the netherlands. are the biggest. now the berries incident is toughing. the agenda of an already scheduled use summit in bras. not all science that businesses are already responding to the incident based. both dick is among a string of european airlines have now said they'll avoid bella russian asked space even though that would mean a big deal or are many of its key groups, latvia and lithuania, code for all international flights to avoid the skies above others. as a sanction against the country of more on this, we are joined by banners saw g, who is a senior research the center for security studies in direct thank you very much for joining us on d. w business. so this idea of essentially boy cutting the skies of a bachelor's wasn't empowered with actually house. currently we see as you

mentioned, a number of airlines routine to flight. devote better reason and space, but we shall see if they maintain the policy and about the follow suits. first. this is costly for airlines now. flying along with this is secondly, it is costly to better routes which now loses out on the fly, charges and thirds possibly for the loosen who are restricted mobility and the resist land borders with the you are already close after all. and there are numerous sanctions of the you could consider including that central because of the asked space. but what do you think is more likely discussions after you are already on the way about this 4th package of sanctions against betters? so it is likely that we will see another expansion of the list of sanctions individual. these are dozen of officials and courses of the regime against whom you

impose travel plans and assets free. and now officials of the better route and f traffic control of the food and potentially the airline bill avia may be added to this list. and below the in particular may face even harsher faction including a band to landed airport in the view. and this will naturally effect its employees and passengers alike. as you mentioned, this is would be the 4th round of sanctions from the u against batteries. what sort of impact of those 1st 3 have they left batteries in a position where it can except hon. thanks and the pressure to act against the regime, the very high last autumn given the violence by the states and apart from sanctioning individuals. as i mentioned you multilateral back as also have stopped all development project betters. and lucas sent himself as essentially become

a persona non grata in the way. however, i'm afraid the ballistic leadership has largely shrugged off action. it appears more and more that the regime has abandoned all hope to many times with the way to maintain some kind of level of pragmatic corporation. it may simply not care about international reputation anymore. and accordingly, infusing change through sanctions is even tougher. but while they have any press, the regime at such sanctions may have signal to the protest movement that the west is watching and has not abandoned them. but the use leverage and better is limited, as we know some positive measure, such as supporting the victims of the regime and strengthened the independent media may have more tangible effects. a better thought from the center security studies in theory, thanks a lot for joining us on the to be business. my pleasure. now let's take

a look at some of the other business stories making headlines. global metal is prices have fallen in the china warned companies in the country again, pushing them up. china is one of the world's biggest consumers of muscles. government embracing is concerned that high commodity prices could stoke inflation in the country. and adoption court has blocked a legal attempt to release the ship ever given which got stuck in a key shipping route in march. the suez canal authority impounded the vessel as it seeks more than half a $1000000000.00 in compensation. the blockage bitcoin surged on monday after losing nearly a quarter of its value in the week to sunday, at the weekend, tesla, the long must. between that he's a script is company's decision to cancel bitcoin acceptance contributed to the recent ball in prices. but one of the global crypto currency capital is if you will,

as nigeria more trading goes on there than just about anywhere else in the world. so let's call to our correspondent in lagos, flourish to kura, thank you very much for joining us on the w business. flourish, how are nigerian bitcoin trade is handling the, the recent turbulent sim bitcoin well, just like the coin trade, as all of the world, people are reacting, responding in different ways. that is short term trade as who are basically lost all their money. and obviously regrets seeing and you know, be more in the losses. and there are also those who have who are holding what's the holding, who are trading for the long term. now those ones more a bit more optimistic. of course, bitcoin trade as across the board have lost a lot of money, but the long term trade as i still holding on and saying that they believe that it's still going to the prices as to where to come up and not selling. now the

people that have, i think experienced the most problems are the leverage trade as that is those people who borrowed more needs to trade. now, of course, you know, when they lose, as they've lost all the money, they still have to, as, as those are the borrowed money from. so there are different instances of people getting into trouble because they've not only lost their own money, but they've lost all that money. right. i mean, chris currencies can be so unreliable. so what is it that drives so many nigerians to invest in them? less of 9 jury as are looking for an alternative source of income. nigeria has the highest rate of unemployment in, in, in the world, not be high as the 2nd highest route. one on premise in the world do as economy has been on the decline for years now, we just came out of the 2nd recession in less than 5 years. so of course, a lot of people are looking for quick money if you will. a lot of people are

looking for yeah, high, high risk investments, but it's also a high, high return promises the high return on bitcoin crypto currency. of course it looks like illegal path to make that quick extra money. so the pub, i see the economic situation in the country is what is driving a lot of people to go into bitcoin trade, trading. and just briefly, if you can flush the efforts to regulate crypto currencies because they can be, you know, tricky yes. so you have an adrian government, basically, bond bunks from trading, from being involved in bitcoin at all. so think of it like this, like from governments binding delivery companies from delivering goods or delivery trucks on delivering good from sell as to receive us. and so that created this extra step of problem for people would trade in bits coin. so he and adrian banks

are not allowed to trade in be to, to be involved in discarding anyway. because of how would i, how risky it's is right, flourish to cora in lake us. thanks for the update. now, the south african developers, a of a new housing and business complex. so having to revitalize downtown johannesburg, as the city recovers from the tough time is brought by the pandemic. jewel city is promising to provide an economic away service in what's a desert of poverty and hardship. the south african property market is flat lining. jewel city, a new 110000000 euro development has opened in downtown johannesburg. it's a sparkling sign of hope in the city. asked the corona virus pandemic fest to make the compass economy. it's a mixed use. 3 think focus primarily on the provision of affordable residential
