there are no deaths or injuries, but many buildings, including this minarette, the damaged one day later typhoon. carmen is the head of earthquake risk management for the city. he's faced with a big challenge. the, the disease warning system did not activate during the quake. the each new condition you can say the system works is it's, you have to mean we have 10 stations at the moment, but we aren't receiving a signal from any of them. not even yesterday. our task now is to build more stations and repair the 10. we already have, so this will turkeys conservative party root is symbol for 25 years until the summer of 2019 carmen says the policy did not do enough to prepare the city for

earthquakes. unfortunately, we cannot say that it's done bullies prepared for an earthquake today to cook, and there are still buildings here that are in danger of collapsing. after all, even the 5 point take magnitude. quake caused major damage to the new city government, one to set new priorities today, carmen hosts representatives from the magda foundation at city hall for about 2 decades. this group of scientists, merchants and craft people, has been trying to prepare a symbol residence for the next big earthquake traumatized by the 190-1909 quake. they do not want to leave their fate in the hands of the states alone. i'll missions that within 72 hours after like everyone has their own neighborhood

because we want to train $4.00 to $5.00 volunteers in each district to form a civilian disaster rescue team. i the news that he administration months to work together with the foundation for disaster management text. that is an easy pick. this is a ray of hope thought i did that we have come to the right place. he will support our projects, develop them further, and he also has plans of his own that of our the earthquake was a wakeup call. so the whole city as a panel discussion, the foundation mag informs residents about the dangers, the earthquakes. there's quite a bit of interest is denisia tells them what they must avoid at all. costs is panic . native mcguire, when combating a disaster, the most important asset, we have people. but only if those people are prepared and can act reflexively

decline if they are not prepared, then they become a liability and gets the car be they panic. get pointed to them when i get to take me back in germany during the birth 3 tests. seismologists marco bone hoss has a breakthrough collecting within a couple of minutes each time he uses various types of stone, just simulators, quakes fish and fire in the real world. and there might be 100 or 200 years between 2 strong quakes. we don't have that time. so instead, we simulate these processes at an accelerated rate when we increase the pressure relatively quickly and then retrieve the measured values. so we can do our

calculation. let's list alternately, we can recreate a complete cycle from one quick to the next. within a few minute was enough time bonus test to town with a sandstone sample. a press supplies, an enormous amount of pressure to the stone. the machine symbol tenuously registers acoustic signals that reveal what is happening to the stone internally just before slowly the machine increases the pressure on the stone. it's 30 trunks with that top on one finger on the surface it appears the stone hasn't changed, but the acoustic signals on the monitor show another story. it's beginning to fracture. so that more and more cracks become visible, like small miniature quakes. and 15 minutes later the stone breaks.

it wasn't miko boon hoff says the same logic can be applied to large scale. earthquake limits is in for the and we're seeing all of this for shock activity before the point of fracture. and, and since that's similar for all rock samples, we're hopeful that we can apply this method. but with a looking from the scale many, many quakes to signal a larger earthquake is coming with this also the case with the september quake, it's dumbo 50 scientists from all over the world's conduct research at the german research center for g o. sciences. in potsdam, in the hope of predicting when earthquakes will strike, in addition to turkey, grease and italy, a too dangerous zones in europe. this has been the main trigger with the african plate, which is pressing northwards towards the ration plates in the mediterranean structure . in 2016 an earthquake rattled central italy nearly 300 people died.

one issue was the collapse of many old buildings. this is not the case in japan which experienced the 9 point one magnitude quake in 2011. the nearly 20000 people died most from the resulting soon know me. that slammed into the northeast and coasted the country. devastating the area research to say adapting infrastructure is crucial. this is material view of the earthquake that struck japan and 2011 is a good example. indeed, there was a lot of damage related to the through nami, but you know, but the buildings withstood due to compliance with earthquake resistance. standard denote bosses. me japan invests

a lot of money in earthquake resistance construction. for example, offering subsidies for buildings with shock absorbing dampers. the money for this kind of technology isn't available in a stumble once, if she did it, perfect. 3 factors must be considered pushing. the likelihood an earthquake will strike look 2nd all the number of buildings and that morning visual and the 3rd quality of the construction or how vulnerable the buildings are. so a hot spot, in other words, a place where damage could be particularly great. has these 3 factors ultimately, and we see that in istanbul, but also in cities like lima kito or mexico city did come to to mexico. the biggest challenge now in is stumble is limiting the potential damage of a mega earthquake. me in the southwestern part of the

city, the book you could neighborhood is particularly at risk boosting easy from the mag foundation has worked here for 12 years. as a disaster prevention coordinator. she surveyed the area with was going to do a size smaller. just give you the houses here, a very old its imperishable push. the change in rebuild after the september quake, 2 buildings evacuated. all the facade shows significant crack in those go by the weight of the residents are unarmed and up to date. yes.

one of the buildings will be rebuilt, but the owners simply cannot agree on what to do with the other one that will be on the again, i mean, if a building is reported to the city is safe, it should be torn down by law, but there's not enough funding to build a new that's why unsafe buildings a still inhabited good study showing government only cares about prestige projects. it doesn't care about how people really live. they should they did it from the it's not just about the quite the immediate off the matter that would be terrible. gaskets are fine. be nice by natural gas. go out. there's an ation fuel tank and gasoline and yet there is still no precaution. lacey problem,

the fires could occur for quite assemble, goodness, private money. we have no time to lose. but our government in ankara prefers to plan and sir a new canal through which we must immediately prepare for a wake. but they just aren't listening to us at all. no other major sissy in europe has going quite as fast in recent decades. what his lacking however earthquake resistant to residential buildings. in recent years, the turkish governments has repeatedly tightened building regulations. but the chamber of civil engineers is skeptical of the construction industry. it's chairman jamal group, chair stress is that just because the building is new,

doesn't mean it stay from earthquakes. it's a major so point energy on it, men to steady. we're trying to get a real out until very recently, inspectors would chosen and paid by the builders themselves. part of the, you know, how independently can you inspect the person who's paying you at least since the 1st of january, 2019 inspectors and l selected through an electronic system or not. but even that does not suffice it to me up. i just want you some because they're often not trained well enough for me. i don't have special certificates. a simple diploma is enough to get the job. we have a serious problem with construction supervision in this country. yes ma'am. you have the day that the city is growing rapidly. as a result, it is becoming more and more crowded. and the risks of the via consequences from an earthquake are increasing. she's getting sure that what the situation wherein right

now, it's a crime, isn't it? not can one really live in a city like this will not have a government is lying. these open spaces already show to be construction here. it can't go on like the city will not other form of the meanwhile, the state disaster management also receive our fund is raising awareness about the risks posed by earthquakes. with an elaborately produced tv commercial. ah, the message prepared to dissolve that your neighborhood stays safe. i'm sick of about this, however, there's no specified. instead the 30 promises educational campaign. oh,

the reality on it symbol street is not as good as the commercial. in actuality, there are constant traffic jams and more and more high rise building. the new city government knows this all too well is seeking solutions and has invited german sizemore logistics. marco boone has to stumble. the scientists from all over the world are joined by local rescue teams and associations to discuss the current situation. soon home delivered the opening speech, the sign of how much his work is appreciated. the current knowledge of the mama hold indicates a maximum expected earthquake magnitude of $7.00. of course, this would not exclude a larger event as we have learned to dramatically in japan in 2011, but based on historical data, this is probably a solid measure installed over the years. boone house of team has worked with

turkey. disaster management, i'm sorry to set up 7 measuring station in the mama region one. and then for most quake safety is the top priority for the city's new math, a crumb my mom. he is in close discussion with bone half and other international scientists. their research will be incorporated into the new earthquake roadmap for its stumble. then all young, i'm convinced that this is an issue that the whole world my solve together, the buck stumbled the naz. it can be sort of dip them on both the biggest problem when it comes to worth quake is the safety of its buildings. nearly 50000 buildings are at risk. different, even a mild quake can damage message live in a up with them at this poses a huge threat to the lives of tens of thousands of people mentioned in the shuttle . the answer is not only to demolish houses and build new ones,

thought if perhaps to strengthen existing buildings as well. that will be not learning which land that we must use this time very wisely to find quick and practical solution. so we can save people's lives in some that and john, and of course my engineer is also committed to finding solutions. but goodness is not working on predicting if an earthquake will strike days or hours ahead of time. he's focused on the 2nd before the quake. the malta, we developed an early warning mobile app that alerted uses about the earthquake and remember go started spotted off the customers and no much so we proven the app works. i'm now here to get support for it from the city. show them a system in the yard unless, unless each and get it on the i pad, goodness appointment was put off until a later date. the,

the theory of quake has been propelling him forward for years. stumbled doesn't have an early warning system like the one in tokyo or mexico city. so i took, took matters into his own hands and developed immobile up in 2017 to it's designed to send a warning signal to people in the stumble area, a few seconds before a major quake. the app can be purchased for the equivalent of around 2 year as a year. so far, gardner has set up 6 measuring stations in the mama region using his own son. today he is monitoring his station in the beauty mentioned district. the sensor registers tiny tremors, 3 me to think in the event of an earthquake, it measures the less powerful primary wave of the quake. it sends

a signal to appease this 5 to 25 seconds before the stronger and more destructive, secondary wave. ah, the warning time increases the further you are from the earthquakes api center i'm trying to, the spot of the system has proven itself. but if there's only one station per location, there's a risk of false alarm. all the cost reasons, i've only set up $1.00 system at the scores, but it would be better to add one or even 2 stations every 3 kilometers and set up a whole network. but he doesn't have the sun for that. each new station costs about 25000 years. currently, about 5000 people have downloaded his mobile only

a fraction in comparison to assemble 15000000 residence but goods, not believe them what he's doing. every 2nd counts all on you to talk to in 10 seconds. you could take shelter with your children. if you're driving a car, you can park it safely. musson, as if you were about to go inside a building or drive through a tunnel. you decide against it on your visa seconds. that save lives. pioneer seconds are not enough for german seismologists marco bone half. he wants to be able to warn the population hours before a quake. maybe he is out on the sea of mama just off exactly where a full stone far below the surface could trigger. the next big quake

on the island is b could own office, set up a measuring station to help with his forecast, but the station is hardly sending any signals at the moment. that's the problem. he goes, this is the largest island off the coast of istanbul, and these are predetermined measurement aside because they're closer to the false sound when they come the team is headed to the highest point of the island. a summit in the middle of nature with me here seismographs are installed 300 meters deep into the us and covered with concrete. using acoustic signal, they register the smallest tremors that do not reach the surface. this way,

even many earthquakes recorded the depths of the sized. mcgrath plays a critical role essence. first, we have to try to get beneath the surface because in a metropolitan area like estoppel, there's a lot of background noise from infrastructure wind and whether that's bad for us because we want to measure the signals as cleanly as possible. and that's why we have to go deep below the surface. but drilling deep down is expensive and we have to drill at least a few 100 meters. so in this case, the compromise between the cost of drilling and meeting our requirements is 300 meters, deep meter construction around 300000 euros was financed by the gym and research center for sciences. the turkish authority offense and international donors did him much harass, remembers how intensive the process was to send him to move on to the drilling here

took a total of 9 months on the ground, is made from very hard stone the message. so drilling into it was very difficult. it's not time for us. it was also a mammoth task to bring these huge machines to the island. and then the drill heads of the machines kept breaking on it. i think we had to replace on 10 of them. the drilling company hated us by the end of it all. the data from the science, mcgrath to set in almost real time via the internet to the disaster management till 35 in ankara and to pump them. what would the team is now? figure out why the signals of failing to send a u. s. company manufacturers the senses. they are used in earthquake zones all over the world. technician surgery. valensuela has come all the way from the us to help with maintenance. we have some problems with the station seems like this. i send the data to the central station. so we try to figure out what the problem

seems like. is there around the digitize or has like a ram inside. when it gets full, it will stop at position because that's how you design. because the science and roster embedded deep underground, they cannot be swapped out. valensuela can only activate them by remote control because they didn't get here on the burn half felons. his colleagues in puts them to find out if the data has arrived from them, we repaired the data locker. we know the data arrived in ankara and in 5 minutes will know if it arrived and puts down, but everything looks good. mission accomplished, the data finally arrives impulse stem. in

the meanwhile, up develop goodner has found a backer for his early warning system. a renowned stumble geologist wants to further develop his in charge of the chaos. professor yankee alto rack wants to use cell phones to measure the shaking during an earthquake and compare it with the measurement data on site. something like this is not being done before. we want to combine these 2 functions in the am. from until now it's not being possible to measure how each building reacts individual during a quake. but with cell phones lying around the house, we could measure that. a former law much good can meet the geologist. it is symbol technical university. they discussed how the app could be used to estimate damage after a quake. what can a few years back?

geologist, chang, he l tack who is also working on a warning system to predict earthquakes. yanni, yup, that's no longer his priority because he considers it dangerous. this act you ought to saw so that if i could predict now that in 30 hours there will be an earthquake bank a lot. how would they control the money and turkish banks have to catch up? it would flee abroad, but people would storm the bank. you know, they would storm the stores if they would turn on each other way that was there sufficient security forces to prevent something like that. you know, is there a plan in place one, you know, there is therefore, even if there was a way to predict earthquakes, our society would not be set up for it. because then you would need to and a half square meters of space outside per person. but there is no space, and if dumble alone, we don't even have $75.00 square centimeters per person. maybe you just go to the city center. now the booking the streets are 2 and

a half meters wide. the houses 6 stories, high apartment, if one house collapses, the whole street is blocked by a fire breaks out in just one house. it spreads to all of them with the building the young into that because so guy you only a few months have passed since the last quake and assemble on the 24th of january 2020, another earthquake strike turkey. this time in the eastern part of the country, the quake is almost 30 times stronger than the september quake in 2019. at least 90 building collapse and 41 people die in the region. the devices and rescue workers raise overnight temperatures. the minus 8 celsius emergency unit travel from assemble. the rescue work takes days.

geophysicist, marco boone half doesn't have much time left. unfortunately, that's exactly what research requires. but he does have new findings. the results of the september quake, or in his thesis, seems to be correct on the under the sea of mara. many, many quakes accumulated until the big quake with a 5.8 magnitude struck is equal to the question is whether these fractures of the 4 shocks are signs of a larger group, weight on appearance. and research is, don't yet know if this is a pattern that can be applied to all quakes, but the indications that growing boone half estimates that it will take another one to 2 years to see if the method is proved, correct. yeah. only then will it be possible to develop a reliable,

full costing system. in best case scenario would be to put out a sort of fever curve where every day we could estimate if there's a higher or lower risk of an earthquake. residents would start to adjust to this. it would be like what we see with forecasting extreme weather. this is not yet the case with earthquakes, and there's a long road ahead to get there. but this is what we're aiming for, and we're working to improve this situation in systems of our best on the, in the people of symbol only have a real chance if priorities the set of quake resistant building the public warning 2nd before a quake and a longer lead forecast. ah. the research is work remains

of race again. time. ah ah, what into an official estimates more than 1200000 venezuelans live in columbia, legally and legally. already echo more wide return to that whaler. friends. i don't think i'd ever go back there to live what i live there again. i

don't know, so i'm not sure. bearing witness. global news that matters double made for mines. oh, the how it case. feel. jewish life in europe. i went home producer on his bona and journalist is going on and more exploring, building into history and the present. ah, nice to that. i would never have to be live so openly. i'm so freaking off and constantly remind myself, i grew up in a completely different way. for me. it's broad. it's for the jewish in years,

the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on dw. ah, ah was, ah, the news light umbrella in the g 7 or after 3 days of talks, leaders of the well to this country say they do need billions of cobra, 1900 vaccine doses. invest in global infrastructure and helps developing countries . taco climate change will cross the commonwealth for the latest on the final day of the g 7 summit.
