and here's a reminder of our top story. greece, east coast guard is expanding its search for hundreds of people missing after a boat carrying migrants capsized in one of the mediterranean seas, worst marathon disasters the united nations is quoting on the european union to do more to prevent migrant, dest, etc. and that's all for me for now. next is our digital sho shift looking at the way the current events of entered the realm of computer games on top of the funding is thanks for watching on taking the what do you see? it really is possible to reverse page researchers and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time. they are peers and rivals

with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more like watching on youtube dw documentary, the, what there's to us that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d w. the game is can play out well since the other people are experiencing the horrors off in real life and death from above. please can fly military drones and slip into the role of a ukrainian drone pilot. does this help send a message or does it actually just don't say human suffering? what role do games play in the information? well, that's all a topic on shift this week. the,

the current key over 3000000000 active game us worldwide. most are in asia and europe. multiplayer shoot us are especially popular. well, you belted out with many of the play us for night veteran and come to strike alone have over $260000000.00 locked in a month. so the combination of action team play and tactics still continues to drop games in. and that's even a small but loyal fan community for shoot us and historical wal scenarios like the 2nd world war. but now even raging was like in ukraine being used as a backdrop to sell games in the game. ukrainian fami place total wipes on the russian tanks with a tractor as it has happened in real life. glory to the heroes tarzan development sense games right into battle ukraine. and that's another special you can walk in from germany, but aspires to be more than just

a game in depth from above the use of play ukrainians full jo, approaching a drawing, the goal to kill russian enemies. the political activists behind the less the evil have the idea to publish a game and assessing to be an external self wants to release games with clear political social intent. the game death from above was developed in cooperation with ukrainian interests, according to the publisher. so 2 percent of net proceeds from the game will go towards organizations supporting ukraine to purchase relief codes, not optics equipment for the military. once the game breaks, even 70 percent of the net proceeds will be donated. the donations will be split between come back alive, an army of drones and demand for aid programs. only the founder view such as political activism. games can, i've also few games have the potential to do so much more students always do want

to express ourselves as articles, but also with citizens to the end. the game is a kinder statement from a standalone on of the ongoing virtual war. and ukraine has been made the setting up a realistic game. and this a spots many discussions offsite. the battle field experts, question, what impact a game like this will and should have on players? do they identify with ukraine and troops? how does the game affect people's perception of the war? yeah, so the actual, the 1st reaction to this is of course, it is perhaps a bit tasteless to depict an ongoing war and the game that is relative in trivial angles. and yeah, then of course, this runs the risk of being reduced to an end to turn that product with a headphones put up uh you, off the homeless to that images of war, facetime, many people, which is one main stream shoes. a games focused on this topic, cold of juicy blackouts, take place in the vietnam war, special field 1942,

hill let loose and many more games to pick the events of world war 2. but these, what was happening decades ago, which offers some distance, an historical context. yet dest from above, the session is in the present, and not every one likes that discussions about what the such games the ethical go beyond the online world. people directly affected by the war and you cry and also have different opinions on the mass. so you have the most of all these wonderful to me as an expert with the game and such and violence against civilians. the expect stock or the police the game like this only shows the situation on the battlefield . please with soldiers against the soldiers usually nominate. i don't see any problem on the except the side. it will still supply to in the for the boy you what we're just going to go through these quotes in the bottom. it's a lot of probably some one in real life, socialist serving and war and always the by choice and the risk of losing their

life at any moment. so the question is, is it really ok to shoot of people in video games, then express opinions on the topic very strongly and, and computer games like desk from above the wall. and so one project can be portrayed very positively at the same time. the soldiers on the other side can deliberately be shown if the humanized, the game plays a role and the information will between russia in the ukraine to the business office. i'll try to show you that this is a propaganda getting it should be in the actual will both sides constantly trying to control public opinion worldwide. most of that work is being done online with misinformation or trying to sway people by appealing to their emotions. tyler, these allied zip, most of these efforts this propaganda we know from everyday life attack can means videos and gifts. for example, in my opinion of this game, joins this culture off making a part of an ongoing information war. this stomach can stand from an influx phones

with the same view, this propaganda positively will not play is need to be aware of it and its impact. game is often strongly identify with an appetite and to motion, to engage with its calls. so this could reinforce and to russian sentiment, especially if there's a lack of historical context and experience and death from above face as opposed to get a virtual impression of the war in ukraine and provide financial support for the country . and russia was only allowed to be called a special operation, would walk into a still allowed even the u. s. shoots a game counter strike. and that's why journalist from the finish, they didn't use paypal, housing can sign them up, seized the opportunity and information about the warrant. ukraine in the game for russian today is to find to do to this. they had the special contest stress level programmed. what players can conquer a secret room, full of documents and articles,

for instance, about the russian war crimes in which an open. but it's hard to know how many russian players have actually found the room sofa instead of a room or building the organization. report is without borders as put together a whole palace. this on sense of library is used to spread access to brand new stories and countries that restrict access to information and antoinette. it's circumvents censorship and defense, freedom of press. the project has had a lot of success since it's w in 2020. all virtually in minecraft. this library is virtual consist of over 12000000 blocks. a $24.00 person team worked on us and invested over 250 hours in the project. they were pursuing won't go to provide free access to information, even in countries or censorship. generally prevails. they haven't been to mind the way up to to mind crofton, because it's a game played worldwide by over

a 100000000 clients. but at the same time, it's a game available only every country in the world list. but unlike any media sources and websites that are unfortunately, since that these are the things that are now over 200 books and the library, but publications, by journalists for the most oppressive countries in the world like russia, egypt are good. now some of the authors whose work is included here, i've even paid for it with their lives. the saudi arabia wing publications by janelle shelby, stones critic of crown prince mohammed been summoned in 2018. he was killed in the saturday concerts and assembled. the crown prince denies his involvement to the murder to this day. a

doing censored library cost the spotlights on the unfortunate fates of people like mr. ca shogi. it's constantly being updated. the latest additions. our rooms for brazil, the roofs ever trees and around. what's more, there's no easy way to block the library or take it down because minecraft and the uncensored library went on different servers worldwide. the library would probably even survive. internet access being blocked, as it has been in the past by us are turning machines. mackenzie, todd, the math is available even offline, meaning you can download it on the campaign website. and the great thing is that players can upload it again themselves. if you let in the cabinet is anthony found original server was, should be blocked. they would still be over $300000.00 more libraries in existence . and then even showing me that i have the 1000 sites or the library is p. and the developers of both the uncensored library and games like desk from above, a trying to give use of a wake up call. but what means are allowed,

and what ethical considerations must be taken into account. because even if there may be no but intentions behind them, safeguards need to be in place for younger audiences, for instance. and the developers of the uncensored library have to take special precautions to them for the um, we try to use content suitable for young people. humans, but unfortunately it wasn't always possible in certain cases by example to the kids like the war in ukraine, nevada's letter and it's because it's so bruce, i'm home. so we added a warning, enabling parents to contact us and know if they are around when children are playing. so then we can give them the context or this. i know, i think i know that helps. lucas, i thought meant being censored library from reporters without borders, also manages to avoid depicting violence in the game world itself. for to more games like death from of what do you crane shooter, glory to the heroes?

players explicitly have to infect and virtual violence to do well in the game. but as long as the developers don't in site real life finance, they are in compliance with the law. but that doesn't necessarily make their work ethical. the research shows there's still a little awareness of such ethical aspects in the gaming industry. in part because the sector is still quite june under game development, time and money are often tight. but researchers say it is important to take into account moral values and development, such as freedom, respect, and human dignity, the games based on real life events. the realistic representation effects play an important role. not just for players, but the people involved and witnesses. the new games 6 days and flu jet times this type wrote block players are transported to a rock and the 2004 and historical us operation against. i'll kind of fighters in

the city a for loop, just the developers interviewed over 100 us soldiers and 26 rockies to give eye witness accounts. but they still faced scathing criticism. that's the title. it focuses on the north american perspective. but the researchers also recommend encouraging ethical game play games like call of duty reward players when they avoid harmony civilians. last but not least, developers should also critically examine their own system values. these could also unintentionally get incorporated into a new game. games can to pick real life events with a political, a moral framework, but develop a strip to disclose this fence and the sponsors. what do you think of walking, featuring current events and the use of concealed information in games? send us a message and let us know. that's it for me today,

by and see you next time. the power specialties spiced with a luxury flavored with a touch of art and culinary excellence. all the access europe to save your romance. dw hitler's stallions sculptures displayed in the nazi transferring long sought the last may have suddenly turned up on the shadow markets. the weather of intrigue surrounds their reappearance.
