right, requested again, well, maybe a couple wait and burned in south africa. people with disabilities more likely to lose their jobs. in the pandemic black lives matter. shine a spotlight on racially motivated police violence, same sex marriage is being legalized in more and more countries, discrimination and inequality, or part of everyday life. for many, we ask why? because life is diversity. to make up your own mind. d. w. lead for mines. ah millions of visitors descend on the else every winter, including a growing number of free riding fans who like to go off pieced in such a deep how to slow the fun can quickly take

a dangerous turn. if the snow breaks loose from the slope and starts to hazel down hill, these austrian avalanche blast as risk their lives to ensure the slopes are safe. yoga resist, there's always a risk, but we try to reduce that risk as much as possible, getting new movies to would over there to minutes. let's go with an aide. see zak manage is the slopes of the kitchen on han mountain in salzburg. mm. my in lawyer honey and his team start work at 6 30 in the morning. it's been snowing for the last few hours on the kitchen, han and there are strong winds. there is a high risk in avalon could occur. so the team is going to trigger

a blast to set up a series of controlled avalanches. chose to wash it, see how it looks very from wood or is it my guess is that on a day like this there will be more to do at a high altitude. it's extremely cold today at the top it will be minus 18 minus 90 degrees. exciting a good day for some explosions. we've got real winter weather today. if they're going through according to the weather forecast, there's likely to be as much as 50 centimeters of fresh snow. about half of it has already fallen. hooked everything to 20 centimeters or cold powder slope is minus 13 degrees. now don't differ. every minute counts. latina has to alice to make sure the glaciers here is the. what's 60 kilometers of pieced are safe before the craft start to arrive. they work in pass.

25 year old krista buying shop is the youngest and a new addition to the team. it's our family and of years, but we're packing the explosives. we're about to head out to trigger some avalanches. delivery dinner detonators and explosives are always handled separately . well, i've been, i'll carry the explosives in my backpack, and renee will carry the detonators. i will be going out together of a motion on the lemon commencement of like the to that let me get ash this bag has the detonators in it. not over here. once we're on site, we ignite them and get the fuse burning through shore is august, has 2 meters long, almost foreman, then we have 2 minutes until edition aids for formula. so it's going from a ah hawk smith and i grew up in this world. what the, what my father was a piece manager here and i've always been fascinated by it all this out was the skiing, the mountain 2nd avalanche blasting. mostly it's my dream jobs. it has helped

me on bills. i have no way i can handle that. this is where things start to get dangerous. that was because it is the path goes along. then with a snug rumor is responded to that they put there before the past. turns off. don't go fur, i will. okay. it is. it will make dumble on or not all it's barb calling. so report so powdery penny and christoph have to be extremely careful. a slab of snow could break off at any time on the steep slopes and sweeps away. at the top of the piece, they placed the 2 and a half kilogram plastic explosive on a wooden frame. it's situated one and a half meters above the fresh snow covered to maximize the impact of the explosion . once the fuse is burning,

they have to evacuate as quickly as possible. oh, i just burgers, nobody on the slope. but then about one and a half minutes there will be an explosion was if i wanted to just do, she told me that there was no recovery is a shipper that was it all to be the piece is clear, it's secured. so let's keep moving. ah, the controlled avalanche, they trick it has reduced the risk of a more serious one. the peace is now safe. meanwhile, emmanuel and falls gung a hard at work further up the slopes. it somewhat to me

as the shoes were about to trigger an explosion on the central slope. that's always high risk because it's pretty steep and it's where the kids always play. but today the dense snow flurries are making it difficult to see angry. but he lived that soon, and the glacier area, you can only get your bearings by looking for the ski lifts. otherwise it's just a wall of white. it's snowing and it's windy. i had been but i can just about make out the ski lift station so that tells me where i am doing according measure. bit of i thought indian he gets off. i'll go prepare the explosives done. dick and he wants detonated the slope is secured. jeff, this is one of the most critical slacks and the whole sky area. they have to play area for children below. my name is natoya phillips mondays of the vin

meats when the wind blows over the rocks lightly from the north where it's settled on this and the snow drifts can be dangerous on business mart. primary objective is making sure the slopes are safe. alice of these to see case one thing has attached the explosive to a line that way he can precisely position the explosive on the slope and determine exactly where it will go off. oh estee lauder, got the 1st explosive isn't position kind of out in about one and a half minutes. it'll detonate the explosion can be felt 50 meters away. nice one, have a good. the explosion triggered a controlled avenue launch. the service team will tear away the masses of snow and then open the slugs and the play area to the public. in austria alone,

they were more than 100 avalanche accidents in 2021. 14 people were killed and your back lion shall research his avalanches. at the department for natural has it's in, in spoken to day his in the stew, by valley investigating the destructive forces of avalanches at samar gotten on for him. pest failed. this is our test field. i feel this protective structure here is the so called snow catch, and o, catcher for the power lunches coming this way will end up here. no units. fish on levina valve clocked out the door with her. mom distorts. ponder light comes from up. there hurtled down home, have all the and hits the snow, catcher, embalming fits of the structure with several senses that record the impact of the avalon shaft. alf, sorry shannon hamby, levina metabolic control, yet. oh oh, this is the perfect testing ground for the reset. every year,

huge masses of snow tumble more than 700 meters down the mountain side directly into the safety net. i love you now. i've been famous up on one of our sensors was destroyed and i have a lunch. i think we've replaced it and i want to test it today to make sure it provides accurate values. fisher selling the sal her to correct. let me put the snow catches to la prototype. numerous senses are installed along. it's the ports and steel cables. when an avalanche hits the sensors, provide important data and insights into how people can best be protected adults with i am desk people, my so we're in the test area and we have 2 goals. albert, we want to see how the structure reacts to the avalanche and how the structure affect the c avalon shine flu alfie levina by now banana level onto the wall for example. and that wall holds up 20 and stan tells

them the avalanche levied, flows over the top of it with us. susan, besides, beside the 4 bad gets compacted to that problem, yet about what happens when an avalanche hits a flexible structure. alba, nit structure if knocked up so often in it's looked on install 2 cameras to record the impact of each avalanche. so then, but so if pascals can flow through it, how fast they fly and how they redirected is that something we want to study have eaten to. so from what if the snow catch a pressure tie proves useful, it could soon be used to protect buildings and rabbits against avalanches. back on the kitchen, han, the weather remains. the challenge be sure dreamed her. the reason was because a very strong wind were about to trigger an explosion to secure the north slope. it's always good news. it's on the damage on us, but it's our job. there's half a meter of fresh snow on the avalanche trend north flight yard or smith this nancy

smith when there's heavy snow it can get on really exhausting. ah, as he got mud, i imagine some people envy us banana than joe, especially at 7 in the morning when the sun is shining. the shad you get to be the 1st on the slopes which have just been freshly groomed. but there's been much, at least some people would probably pay a lot of money for that on this. and so that's one of the perks of the job and if what they but of course it also has it's downside, really care that he can't like having to be out in the bad weather today. the head that the trying to secure the ski areas and prevent avalanches to see jen i decided to show you that my partner gets nervous in the mornings, brooklyn by 10 o'clock, she'll be asking if i am okay. and if everything worked out, my parents are more relaxed with lynch bones of your parents, then you definitely can't get stress when you're an avalanche blaster. but you do have to make quick getaways but over

to wait until the detonate yoga resists. it's always a rest of it, but we try to reduce that risk as much as possible. the movie somewhat bill clevic will of all, don't, will account for each other up and make sure that things run smoothly within the t, off discounts. if one of the problems mangum is only a worker, only a top layer came off or japan that worked more or less throughout, we shifted the snow in every major ski resort in austria, avalanche blast as make sure it's safe on the slopes, especially trained by experts in how to deploy explosives? was that oh nobody. thank god, we didn't have these masses of snow on the slopes today and all it is, this is how much it snowed since yesterday. this isn't why it's hot at the bottom and as fresh snow on top. did on this is the fracture line where it breaks off and i was always kind what it's on our end, 400. if someone headed down the slope at exactly that angle,

that's where it would break off. it's no longer loose. no, it's more like a slab hollow came out, it's a short video shaped of flats like that one or a frequent cause of avalon says it's of a because our explosives bunker live. ok when the social is this heavy, a ne and his colleagues trigger explosions every day. on average, they need $1.00 to $2.00 tons of explosives per season. it's about $830.00. the 1st ski is and snowboard is arriving. almost all the ski lifts and slopes on the kitchen. han open. thanks to the avalanche blast is everywhere in the else blasting teams ensure the mountain side are safe.

the paths known valley interior. all angle about glass shall regularly holds avalanche training courses with skiers, and snowboard is who like to go off piece time when ye knocked in the flesh. depending on how extensive and stable the loose layer is, it might break along the fracture line plants and an unstable layer will collapse with his walks and the slab might start to move on to come to sponsor snippet. and pavilion coleman, and the foxes to the weak layer is spread over wide area that may trigger the slow slab of shape that common churn and all have a nice evening and see you tomorrow at 84591 east in the north. well, we want to avoid an avalanche emergency and you don't want to have to go looking for the buried of itis. but if it does happen, we need to know exactly what to do. and that's what we're going to review tomorrow

. league focused on ian on can out. is that more which question? ah, anyone crossing this to rein needs a functioning avalanche transceiver. ok as that. okay, come on down. log some like some la release really. now here says write them for you help me if i've got the clive are good by next or by but video goes nesa l fire. this is an avalanche transceiver. i think it has 2 functions default. so a transmitter function and a search function, you're adding this off right now the search function with activation isn't that does anything in the display. it means it's receiving a signal from somewhere i'm signal and thank nod from your nod a bit closer. but grace gets toby, a classic called poly. i've checked that the groups avalanche trends. he was a working him at my devices receiving properly am oh okay. then what? i've made sure that every one has the device turned on it. so we've taken the

necessary safety precautions and we can set off from it. this is if i don't become non patterns kill and again with meanwhile, at the top of the catch stein han, honey and kristof are making their way to one of the most dangerous parts of the mountain. the slope to the right of the tracks is a steep one. if they were to full they'd be unlikely to survive. handling the explosives in the snow, flurries and temperatures of minus 20 degrees requires utmost concentration. roads are splitting over 2 minutes. so let's go keep moving the

dish. obviously that shifted things are busy. so as i entered vicki, the stones look wild us with redone litzy down this slope is now safe, at least for the time being. if it keeps snowing and i might have to close the piece below. the other team is still busy. this is, it's angela, that's the north slow. so that's where we'll trigger the next flight runs kiana. i might get blas despite the risk of avalanches, the slope is popular among free right is much to the frustration of the teen. some snow sports enthusiasts are reckless and the avalanche blast is risked their lives . making sure the terrain is safe for them.

oh, in these conditions it's hard to tell of the artificial avalanche was effective. and i love for this august the v. over the course of the day, the wind can scatter the snow. so even if we've triggered an explosion, the snow can pile up against washing orfa. so you have to keep doing control runs and keep an eye on the situation architect area. so that we're done here. we'll head now to the kit slipped station and it's off because at the advanced training course, it's time for the most important lesson. locating a person buried under snow. near 100, it's to our liquidate. we can turn off our devices now. why we just keep one device switched on a maintenance ticket in a backpack and bury it up there somewhere. go. ah, the back back contains an active avalanche. chauncey, that resigned with the name for where the location where the person who is buried was last seen so far as could you pick out your evidence transceiver and start

searching with the soccer. yet 133012 but no coming down. going back, but when the run, when the display is below yet re i go nearly there. land down fluke. psy. commonweal lines are 2.0182.016 times coma. i'm 1 point one common 1.0. i swung hey one. so and these, and this is where i measure the lowest value, 1.0, manuel. next anger backlash. our search is the area with the prob, someone who is buried in an avalanche needs to be rescued within about 15 minutes. after that, their chances of survival drop rapidly. in my life combined ether spell is point someone tends to ask, is mortified, jabbed the person's eye. it is out is

a matter of life and death. tatum salgado effect her you can be worried about, mine is stab wounds as a dog. so don't be too gentle to meet me. find the spot and, and push. i'm stations on and films hunt fact fillings on fact. so don't make hits to form the sounding. now i'm noticing that the pregnant going in quite his father. they some resistance hendo. that means remove your hands. ok prob stays in place and decent plots for the 1st time. you now have you physical contact with the person who's buried, allison contact some for should didn't. time is running out every minute, can't be faster. beside that thought i'm caught. this is the head. best best case scenario is on he's responsive economy. he can talk on this, this house to my letter. so now i can call the mountain rescue services and give

the all clear on, on talk on past days. okay. this gone to was me, it's mark what we've just done is absolutely possible when somebody's been buried under as much as one of the half meters of snow for up to 15 minutes, said silva. only if you know exactly what you have to do is i'd soon escape the euroleague most was. are there any questions? give that so because now it's your turn, but yet that's here. the on the devastation, avalanches can wreak, wasn't full display on february 23rd. 1999 in the small town of got to into roll the gross, the shadow invalid. greatest destruction was about where the highest point of this wall is. phone cut off on the somalis. back until march. they was maoris garcia at the time how mon hoopa was a member of the local council rehab, feeling. i did it in an uncle to it of all he like many locals. i was in crisis

mode hotels and had really drove home what it means to pay a responsibility of high san told to to ragland devices of gone skin. i remember it very well. so i have to think if i india, i was at my desk at the should i am the avalanche hit while i was working together in order for the snow, settled on the windows of all the houses in the village. i'll see. so it went dark . the kitty and everyone realized that had been an avalanche. don't give on. we'll die, miss thompson. when this done give was yet the emergency services went out immediately . isis can i have to see if you were able to start the search operation 10 minutes after the avalanche head, i would say no to not levine it. i guess she'll get them to hines that's beginning . dump them into the mist. if they left, i spoke to the mayor on the phone and an hour later we knew many people were missing. he to light up, we were mid search out if that i sad news began filtering in don't answer nath rowdy. but i mustn't forget that a lot of people were also rescued as have faded lights out, latent give world a total of $38.00 people died in one of the

worst avalanche disasters in the else. in recent history, numerous houses were also destroyed. the massive avalanche hurtled 1000 meters down the mountain side. it says it on that levee, nevada, they sadly avalanche cause such devastation because nobody expected one to occur on such a massive scale. and i like if i knew the lands and recalculations were made for high risk areas, not justin. god tied up in godson, i had led to a rethink everywhere on the alps region as monday. so neither thanks and so and got to these protective walls were built that same year, a year later, the steel snow breeches were erected on the mountain. these were bus protective fences found throughout the elves, prevent large accumulations of snow known as cornices, from breaking off mountain ridges. peace safety in austria. ski results came under

increasing scrutiny in the wake of the guy to disaster. more and more fully automatic blasting moths are being installed on high risk slopes. up to 12 explosive charges fit into the magazines. they triggered by the push of a button and explode a few meters above the snow pack. on the kit steinhoff,

one of the blasting moths has been malfunctioning with. i've gone needs to find out what's gone wrong. rosa saladas fields that are in the magazines are computer controlled. no of mine's other activated in response to pressure government involve clicked on. mal opened this up to check if everything's okay in their, their finances and walk with some of the chords might have gotten tangled up or something might be jammed up here in this new fuel for hydro. dora britain was proclaimed, thought it doesn't . okay. these are the containers on the child. take a quick look, though as fast. okay . yeah, it's okay. i'm on the mass can be used to morrow in the van more. everything's all right. as alice goes to morrisville cast shows more heavy snow on the kitchen time

horn back to the avalanche training course. it's now the participants tend to practice locating an avalanche victim. will they find the backpack with the avalon chance either gather i i'm ready with is that i but what's the value on the display like mama 2.7. miss jennifer you closer and closer. starting here at right. humming and that should i go forward one? yeah, now people on police just above the ground. i think a bit further food pointless. yeah, you're close lou from us. yeah, 0.4. woocommerce 0.70.5 here was 0.4, the lowest value. okay. good. well, oh no. my probes in my backpack in the back at all times. but

how does it stickly hold the last section of the thought together? probe is a bit like a toothpick, as i don't know if you're going deep, the pro can bend in all directions already. don't tell stuart, ask what's my play? i love it by grace with both hands. oh yeah. oh, here it is. okay, so now i start digging right. but i also feel that. yeah, as was great. takes a lot of practice time of i'm going to practice again at home to make sure i've really got it and has ended on you have to bear in mind. you might be panicking after an avalanche missile focused. you need to have it down pat info. otherwise you just forget it. even if it looks easy, i know you said you need to follow each of the steps. for me to i not even use the practicing ones isn't enough. if you need to be able to do it in your sleep. last fall in an emergency,

the person buried in the avalon just doesn't have much time before they die. the long he take like the less likely they are to surviving a pow gate, of course. so even an extreme situations, you need to act fast. oh, you can't hesitate to tell him what he says. he's been a problem with her father or from them kind of this time, a happy outcome. yeah. okay. on the kid, stein hon. there is now a level 3 launch morning. only half of the slabs are open, but then still the man and his team, it's safe. even if to day there are only about $300.00 guests out and about. rather than the usual 10000 eyes look super good. it's all right that visitors, kamisky with peace of mind, things to ask him to knowing they're happy is what motivates me is what does nothing better growth sweetness? and for me personally, dakshina sitting in an office all day would be an absolute nightmare.

ah no india with the transition to green energy. a world without lithium ion battery is unimaginable. but good concept for recycling and reusing. pard, locking to indian start up and their ideas for used energy storage. pico 30 minutes, d w o

o. ah this is the w is life from berlin. political chaos in washington asked republicans failed to unite behind a choice for later in the us house of representatives. kevin mccarthy is blocked by his parties. hard writing 3 rounds of voting also on the pro.
