before we go, has reminder of the top story we're following for you. italy's coast, god says more than 1300 microns, have been rescued from the mediterranean sea authority, say difficult weather conditions have been complicating search and rescue. if it's, it comes just days after the government announced they've cracked down on people smugglers. that's your news from for now up next, an ascending robots to save lives. when de sauce the strikes that's on shift after the break. and we'll all sika and for me and the entire team here. and belinda, thanks to your company in next time. ah imagine so many push it out in the world. climate change to the story. this is my plan, the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we

still have time to go. i'm going with ah ah ah ah, well can i get roxanne's earthquakes? forest fires where natural disasters put human lives at stake. every 2nd counts, artificial intelligence, drones, and robots can buy a valuable time in rescue operations. how technology can help mitigate natural disasters? that's all a topic on shit. ah, ah,

a natural disasters cause enormous damage would white and claim countless lives. but protecting ourselves from them can be tricky. even today is difficult to accurately predict volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. fortunately for us, some animals species have find it you and senses, and will even exhibit certain behaviors before catastrophes. we visited the scientists investigating how animals could be used as early warning systems begin. different allison, we believe the internet of animals has the potential to become an early warning system in the future on loans and bonds of steam viet. and could many animals have better sense has been humans. some species can smell better, others can hear better, and some can even sense danger before it shows its face. it's been documented that before natural disasters heard animals become agitated or change their behavior.

soon bye. feel in bond or up to in bond or archie for example, in many other parts of the world, it said that animals ran away from mixing armies are essentially warned of earthquakes knew that i had one in the other been give on. it's hard to confirm, but we're seeing more and more evidence that something like that at play. yeah, he lies it as to was from cindy and come in some cases, animals started behaving differently, many hours prior to a natural disaster. behavioral biologist, martine mccallski and his team are exploring the so called $0.06 as part of the icarus project. the scientists equip animals with transmitters because it's some, yes my, were you able to observe animals around the clock or wherever they are? it's been doin. this means that for the 1st time, we can receive continuous information about them, which is then fed into the internet of animals elses on the site. it works by giving them little electronic devices or thought, or we call them wearables for wildlife, even in and this wearables for wildlife. the wearable sensor send information in

real time by a cell phone network or satellite. and can even exchange it directly effectively from animal to animal. the data is then analyzed using artificial intelligence is shewn is that one peg often taken ear tag on her and authorize. the beauty is that the ear tag doesn't just record data like the, some of you to whereabouts of the animal. but it also interprets the data gilligan's. all that is we have artificial intelligence in the air tech that we train beforehand. all of that allows the animals to effectively communicate with us when you see him. in recent times, however, the project has been under enormous strength. the signals for the icarus project were transmitted in part by the international space station in collaboration with russian partners. after rushes invasion into ukraine last year, the cooperation stopped. but there's something new in the pipeline. within next, this young annoyance that the launch will launch

a new satellite next year and then have a much better system which we control ourselves in 10 years. i believe we won't just be consulting the weather forecast, but the animal forecast report from life on earth itself. here they are shown bit animals as early warning systems. it's an intriguing approach. and really anything that can reduce damage or support rescue teams is worth exploring. after the earthquakes in turkey and syria aid workers and sniffer dogs with the 1st on the scene, high tech equipment didn't play a big role. why? well, experts say 2 things. i need it well trained personnel on the ground to operate the equipment and more companies producing such tech in the 1st place. several companies from israel banded together for rescue mission in turkey. they sent experts and high tech equipment to assist search teams. the startup extent, for example, makes inspection roles which fly into buildings through small openings. the crew even managed to rescue a woman

a few days after the quake. tech like this is gaining traction, check it out. this drone can deploy small robots directly on the scene of an accident, and the european japanese cursor project integrates various devices in a network. the aim is to make rescue missions run as smoothly as possible. the soft miniaturized underground robotic finder or smirk is seen here in action. is most, this is kind of robot here. oh, that is the crypt with different cameras, like argy become arrows to prison. we have tama cameras and we also have lights on so that we cam takes us warwell into a gloves, building and search for victims. nowadays, there are even sensors that can detect survivors based on smell. in the future, teens of these semi autonomous robots could go deep into collapse, buildings and search for people. drones up above can offer support to rescue teams down on the ground. some are equipped to 3 d mapping technology. others use radar

sensors to locate survivors under rebel. an air drops smurfs exactly where they're needed. another type of drought can establish an autonomous radio network. this allows data to be transmitted even when communication infrastructure is destroyed or overloaded. the system is designed with both disaster victims and response workers in mind. the new technology we are aiming to increase the safety of your 1st responders, providing remote access to their work site remote ah, working conditions. and secondly, with the technology we are improving their, their speed ofa, detecting victims. it may be years though, before this network of robots and drones is fully operational. this rescue robot from china is also still in development. it's quite nimble and can even climb

stairs. in the feature its sensors can provide information about the scene of an accident and identify potential hazards like gas leap. to do this, it's equipped with the laser scanner thermal camera and a gas sensor. this snake like robot from japan can navigate through rebel riggle through pipes and even climb ladders. thanks to with 36, flexible joint thought i think in i took little 1st of all, these robots are used to enter places that are inaccessible to humans or places where there's uncertainty. if it's safe to enter. more of the need robots can help to measure oxygen concentration or c o 2 levels, for example. and did it can evaluate whether you can send in a rescue team. shilton or de la garza coupled with its agile inflexible frame. the snake robot doesn't get stuck as easily as other robots. the bots movements are guided via a controller and the boss equipped with a camera and sensors. like other rescue robots, it's future aim is to minimize risks for rescue workers and aid them in finance.

survivors when the clock is ticking. these robots perform well in controlled settings, but conditions and disaster areas are unpredictable. imagine what would happen if the internet and power supply collapse. it might be some time before robot dogs can compete with the real deal, says professor carson bounce. he is an expert on rescue robots. jeep wash mirrors on the origin will border. you would need several robotic dogs working in tandem to come to a disastrous out. otherwise, time would quickly run out would allow systems today are still very, very slow. um, that's all that's a drawback of robotic dogs. especially when compared to an actual dog that could run across a field of debris relatively quickly. i see. no, it wasn't food on an aka that and call the bottom so called and we're still a long way from a placing a search. dogs knows and sense of smell was sensor technology for example. and that way, nature is a tough act to follow and we won't be on that level any time soon or not. who owns

he. but on the other hand, you've developed other sensors that don't occur in nature at all on mobile, under the sense what would mission local. so the advantage is that rule body dogs can be equipped with essentially any sensor imaginable and transmit data in real time. of course, it will be better to prevent buildings from collapsing at all. luckily, digital technology can help in that regard to these rooftop devices balance out i abrasions. the tech is developed by the italian start up either heavy, sliding, weights or controlled by algorithms. during an earthquake sensors on the walls provide data and the buildings. migrations and external control system calculates how much the sliding weight on the roof must move. to counteract the vibrations there by minimizing damage to the building. unlike earthquakes, which can cause major damage in the blink of an eye,

forest fires develop more slowly, but a small smouldering fire can grow into something uncontrollable here. timing is key, special senses and a i are becoming crucial when it comes to battling forest fires every 2nd count. but players are not always discovered and reported right away. with the right technology, that timeline can be fixed. a number of companies have begun using artificial intelligence that analyze a satellite, images and sensors on the ground, checking for smoke or shifts, and thermal infrared data that could indicate a fire. and if one is detected, 1st responders receive a notification which she learning. we can actually teach the computers to identify an actual flame, or we can also teach that technology to determine if it's using thermal imagery, whether it's a station or exclaim, from perhaps a power station compared to

a moving flame from all that space of the time to launch e, automated detection is really the 1st stages of a forest fire aren't always easy to spot sensors like these can help. in the case of a smoldering fire, smoke can remain trapped under the forest canopy undetectable by satellite. but gases are measurable in german start up dry. it has developed a system which to texas gas build up in the early stages of a fire. the integrated a i can even distinguish fire gases from car exhaust. for example, fire departments are then informed by an independent radio network and can quickly find the source of the fire using g p. s. before it spreads. wildfires are hard to control. depending on the wind, fires course can suddenly change direction or spread much faster. smart fire maps predict how

a fire will act over the next hours. they use deep learning software and factor in the weather. dryness of vegetation, past fires, satellite and ground sensor data. there's also software that simulates the spread of wildfires to help firefighters decide where to concentrate their efforts and plant evacuations. as data gets more precise, technology will undoubtedly self a bigger role in managing disasters. people's lives, homes and the environment depend on it. high tech solutions can help rescue workers who put their health and lives on the line. i hope that robinson drones will soon take over the most dangerous aspects of these jobs, even when it's not strictly profitable for companies. what do you think should taxpayer money font, the developmental production of rescue tech? tell us, what do you think by, by blue

ah, ah, enter the complex zone with sarah kelly as worship, war of aggression against ukraine rages on the battle field. it is also using information campaigns to promote both narrative in a conflict don't specialize in unit security conference by at the high level to handle, help him with in the battle again. information conflicts on d. w by road dreams. an unexpected corona virus, former award winning documentary. hey, you too. man generation. i. but then the pandemic came along. the stove would go,
