9:30 am
how much can we do simultaneously? multi tasking, diesel, modern man. because if we do too much, we paid it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch now on youtube, v. w documentary. the hello and welcome to focus on your up. it's wonderful to have you been to us 6 months off the devastating earthquake shock ducky venetian continues to confirm the hon. julian task of providing housing and clean water to all the affected residents . 50000 dead counsellors houses, and when it is destroyed, the mazda of old,
9:31 am
quick hip, delphi, and celia. in february, this year, it quickly became evident that the survivors would have to suffer the terrible consequences of the tragedy for a long time. many of them lost relatives. in fact, some people lost all the possessions that they ever owned. the southern town of carol con, was hit particularly hot, and of the time president edwin's government promised the residents that new houses would be constructed as soon as possible. in some places, reconstruction is being done hastily, but in others many but them still have no other choice but to live i'm, it's the survivors of others about their future. like so be they go home on. she feels that she might never be able to lead a normal life again. when's a beta come from a mrs. so sisters zayna. she comes here even if it brings back
9:32 am
painful memories. the quakes in early february towards the betas family, a part of the you know, i lost everything that day. my face, my trust, my hope and my joy of life in it. zane, it was someone who drew happiness from the little things. she had a lot of energy into that and she was always smiling like what we're seeking. the end of the city. the quakes had buried zayna under the rubble of her house in the province of tie. as rescues were trying to save her. zabeda held out, waiting and hoping, often more than 4 days zane. it was finally pulled out a life indescribable moments of relief for the data, but only briefly, the sister died shortly, often hospital or 6 months later,
9:33 am
grief has increasingly turned into despair for zabeda. she lives in a small container right next to her damaged home. with one of her sisters and her mother brand new them. yeah, nice sleep here. my sister sleeps on the floor. the 3 of us shared his clothes at the bank. sorry. it's a bit messy. i didn't have time to clean up to find them or the rest of the this is the fridge. sure that we get some of the food. why? other nations say good on it because the good on good. it's a make shift life and can be getting us. i can't see a future for myself. we just struggling to survive. i guess so many people have slot this area and those who stayed are somehow trying to give each other strength
9:34 am
by helping each other. i think old of to be very near future. it didn't. the quakes were the most destructive in modern talk is history. more than 50000 people died. according to official fee, goes antonio's cities in southeast, in turkey, with damaged beyond recognition. hundreds of thousands of people still live in containers or tents were lined on aid from food to bottles, water and doctors, a warning of an unfolding house catastrophe. huge pools of dust have been created by demolished buildings. contaminants such as, as best of luck, you are indeed a poisoning nearby waterways as well as the local inhabitants. somebody puts many fear that it will take much longer before they again have a roof over their heads. over the last, we tried to have hope,
9:35 am
but it's very difficult. it's been 6. let me show that the rubble is still here. nothing has changed on a. how do you agree with your text in the heat is really bad and we feel exhausted from all the destruction the debris and the dust. we are afraid of getting sick of them don't call fiona and again a jamie up the item. so we have absolutely nothing and it said that we need help and support from the government. otherwise there is no future is the 1st i am alive, but i feel like i'm dead and eventually i'm the how ya and this gives you beta also often feels left alone and wonders when things will start to feel a bit more normal again and meet the rubble of her assist as old house. it's very difficult, she says, to imagine a new beginning when the waves are as much
9:36 am
about of the nazi islands as a fine sign on the beach is, however, new to climate change. the existence of the lovely dealings on the dutch island of ireland on the trip, particularly during the winter months vive, increasing the water we signed into the sea. and then during speaks door to season . the sun has to be brought back from the sea to the beach of that's an endless and a few dialects of size. but that seems to be no other way to save the island from losing it's beautiful sand. on the north coast of ominous a seemingly endless white beach, but the beautiful nature that has attracted torres for decades is increasingly under threats. this coast is known for being dynamic. the once uniformed stretch of sand dunes is more and more broken, not got stuck in regular intervals allows time to be carried, didn't measure against climate change job and the balance we
9:37 am
have 200 years worth of tables documenting storms that come on. that is the information we have next, but it's basically useless now and it's made okay. in the netherlands, the 1990 coast lines are protected by lou. every full in winter. the long news is lots parts of it's beautiful beaches. when tours seasoned approaches, the beaches need to be filled up with more than 3000000 cubic meters. this fine sand mine just off the coast, the bomb and them like the ship. we only for the small airy ask for every hour allowed to mine sense the selected b, z as a bag. the good sense to form a good commission, good credit, the full so the disturbance to minimize it. so we all this also we are only allowed to minus a that is more than time to meet this of all the depths. and we'll just kind of some some just brought to the co stay. i'm nice and since it's
9:38 am
a fairly quick cooperation, it doesn't really affect tourism in the region. in fact, it has become an attraction in itself. the and the sea has swallowed 2 or 300 meters, the beach, nearly tearing away the sunset beach pavilion. the no recalls which i am able to always and we drove over here go back to which was the risk in itself the style and the little below we stood on the deck by the shore a months. then all we could do was watch and way. next, while doing that, just off walked a big bass as you'd like to have sand under his feet. again,
9:39 am
he would have liked things to move fast, but that wasn't a way he says that coming back in 2 years to pour up it most time. don't just to play it safe and comfortable with a mutual feel more comfortable with your simply is there an end in sight alone is in some shifting june in the see. the islands has been inhabited for over a 1000 years. but even when the going gets tough, the fusions of the home as do the many taurus to visit the i did a child has to be preserved. even just moving the sand racks up costs and the millions of i don't, they have to pay for it on the, on the case to go. actually the dutch government is responsible for monitoring the coast and they pay for it to me because of their all initiatives. to make comm alone most stable to through so cold, green beaches that says the what an amazing view is from also let me rush to himself as far as the amalia i'm seeing and all loves the mix of the sandy beaches
9:40 am
the sheets and the mullins, as the venice lagoon is beginning and get the points where salt water meets fresh water. soon dry meats wet enough or language. so i'll meet slow lines. so i called, that's where you have the most beautiful plants and birds disuse, the plants and on to diverse landscapes on more than just beautiful. they also help protect the island from stones artificial intelligence. this technology is changing and dia, industrials, on the spanish trading deep into our lives. europe wants to be at the forefront of the europe in union, is striving to enact stricter laws to save god user data and combine his into it's gone to bottom of the usa in china and about getting capital. sophia, the e. u is investing millions of fuels to promote artificial intelligence. there's such a death as love up at true about until noah is among those who are diligently walking
9:41 am
to shape europe's future in the field. in the center of sophia, this computer scientists were data. one of the busiest girls in history we have for 6 live those that are form laser scanning from the cross road and we use the new data to the traffic on the ground. the air pollutants and those so you can see the noise levels your during the weekend there is no dropping now. varies. hi. my name is this is will,
9:42 am
i will throw on. i'm leaving the fits of digital twins by what's brought to the and the name of this product is to create a digital twin of. so if you see a picture of it and don't know the entire team of working on a digital, a replica of a central neighborhood, and book every s capital sophia, to do that, they are collecting data all across the city. the now we are very close to the building. these take easiest to use cases here we are using the 3 d model of these buildings to see if this simulation data like this is used to build a virtual model of the neighborhood that helps the researchers to understand. for example, how the wind moves through the architecture of the city or where air pollution is
9:43 am
particularly bad. then they use a i to come up with with suggestions for how to make the neighborhood more livable . from ways to save energy, to how to improve football, community, and state test the suggestions and their computer model to see how effective they are before being implemented. and then we'll about the, the main store for so for the digital, do we need to guide the decision making process in the future in the digital twin us from the 8th. what if scenarios, if i change the 3 it out all to be ship on? if i got to do this here, let me fix this, will be made in the digital tween, not in the rios it the researchers were meeting and bulgaria aren't the only ones attempting to use a i to improve life in their hometown cities from santiago they key to hyderabad in
9:44 am
india, a working on similar initiatives. these smart cities are one of the few visible symptoms, often otherwise invisible revolution. a technology has long become a part of our world with a high algorithms deciding now, for instance, what we see on social media ends in europe, at least people will soon be using a i under a strict new rule of book, think read up in brussels. in many ways, your opinion is considered the global stronghold of privacy. the blog already has much stricter day to protection rules and competitors like china and the united states. officials here have spent years drafting what's considered the world's most comprehensive legislation on a like. the idea regulating uses according to the risks they posed, and we're told that those risks are real, a, or has been shown to replicate biases or supercharged. this information for the
9:45 am
future intelligence is a black box. and so the way you want to mitigate these risk is to ask that you need all those to document to the data sets, give the information to the user or that are sufficient intelligence system about how that if you should intelligence system works. the question is, do the company's developing a technology? consider this approach a blessing or a curse. we have designed to be a game changer that's for the commission and expect from wescal for change the research system. the area. in sophia, the digital twin cities project is part of a broader big data initiative called gait. it was founded in 2019, in cooperation with a university in sweden and co finance, with 13000000 euros in e u seats. funding the my name is 0 here in
9:46 am
a row. and the director of gape is to choose or center is doing research on how to apply artificial intelligence to develop real live solutions. we define the for a vacation area in the beginning. and in addition to shoot you a series of application areas and digital health researchers at gates are using a i to better understand carpenter diseases like alzheimer's. they're also looking into how to use technology to detect inside this information online. and the last, the application, a smart industry where we will offer some data services for companies. all of those projects rely on vast amounts of data to become effective data. that's awesome. difficult to obtain and privacy set a euro to pick 10 into and the settings because of the
9:47 am
people because of the mindset of the people. and yet you have a belief that's the use approach of establishing a cruise to emerge as the world's leader and trustworthy. i is the right path forward. absolutely. yeah. so it's, it's a, it's method of trust between us. but not everyone is convinced we are in the technology to raise in the 1st things that should be moving us is all we part of the technology called revolution. otherwise, the reason for your is to be stopped in history. this summer, the former petition co wrote an open letter with over 160 european business executives. warning that the use planned a high loss could jeopardize europe's competitiveness. we for sure, i've to be able to protect ourselves in from colorado damages, but we have also to ensure our citizen that day we to be leading and you come to an end that has the same excess of technology that we go on with creating jobs that
9:48 am
will be solver and in these technology, coal at choices o, as in the loan of the industry, insiders expressed similar concerns. and yet when we talk to digital rights advocates, they stress that protecting use us rights should always come 1st to say that these terms, competition, i think it's ludicrous and i think it shows a very poor understanding of what protecting people means and what democracies mean . look at what's happening would charge you 50, for instance, on charge you 50 was launched as a test using as all, excuse me, peaks, using our data. going over any kind of regulation that already exists in europe to predict, to protect people. now they're being hit by all these lawsuits, so i just don't understand these logic of because the others are doing things wrongly. we should be able to do the same thing. at the same time, experts tell us that rules won't be the only sector determining europe success.
9:49 am
another one is money. although private investments in europe has been growing and recent years, it's still acts behind china and even more so the us times the challenge is how do you change that? if we want to get back into race, we need investors to believe that europe is the right field to invest in technology . so we have to be aware and be very cautious and not a very good rating. otherwise we're stretching the investment. and so we have such and you all are back in brussels, you officials tell us very upcoming a our rules won't place on due to non so on innovators. in fact, the, what we ask companies to do is to simply assess, before they put to the artificial intelligence system to be used for that purpose. that is, go see the higher risk and to be frank with you, and it's a beautiful, the desktops, a i, for the higher risk intended purpose should do those things,
9:50 am
though rating the bulk itself invested around 4000000000 euros, an artificial intelligence from 2021 to 2022. although most of today's coaching h a applique cations were developed elsewhere, brussels in europe as well placed in the race for a i. everybody knows the child that should be t by the audiology that or some of those that had been developed into european union. and maybe they're smaller and less known. but they're there, it may be that we have a dvd of about a year or so. but we have not so late, and we can definitely still catch up artificial intelligence this year to stay. and experts agree that it will re shape the global balance of power. that would be to get the news of companies in countries. the one that's have access to the best day i am adults, and the one that's how much perhaps that depends on how you define success. while
9:51 am
you're with may remain the under dog in terms of the investment or innovation, the content that is leading the charge to define the limits of how we can and so to be used. that's why the i pioneers emphasize the importance of working together. if you want to go uh file and then go along, but if you want to go for further and then and go to get the gary and researchers have big plans for the coming years. here is that when you're building that we go through here really. so our big day thing for structure are lots of technologies. the computer scientist hopes that the digital twin of for city she's building, will only be the beginning, and that it will inspire others. we want to care with the project stuff to cover, for example, the cole city, and why not to, to uh,
9:52 am
corporate with other cities in europe and almost the world is on the rise. now your challenge is to scale up its efforts without scaling back protections for the people down below. for thousands of years, people have been using the bulk of the core coke. it was about and we also used as an early swimming a golf has proven to be an excellent, naturally repeated it aids in sound and heat and solution and is incredibly elastic . a single fee. can you add up to 200 kilograms of cock during its lifetime? however, golf farmers and bought a good expressing concern about the how this as climate change is also at wellesley affecting the cock oak forest. for this job, precision is key. it took 11 years for this clark tree to produce its valuable bark
9:53 am
. so it's time to harvest by x in which we, that's why we have to be very careful not to damage the trunk under the bar goes to the tree, must remain healthy. and so that future generations can keep getting doub cork. but healthy clark trees need a healthy supply of water due to increasing drought. the trees are producing ever less spark of them. and that's not all to know if it doesn't rain here in there with you, that's not so bad of with the long periods of drought caused by the tree to dry out white vines. if it can't renew it so the tree dies. you have a lot of a worrying trend like a put a real damper on a booming cork industry, which in place 1000 in portugal. versatile material is still used mostly for bottle clark, but that could change it also says that these 5,
9:54 am
these we've called this morning more to sustainable alternatives to have the materials that, that know sustain. so clark can be as of as rates natural products to satisfy demand companies are looking for clever ways to reuse the material left over pieces are shredded compacted and used for insulation flooring or even for shoes these tree, it's a now talking to species from these parts of the world these by far the most well adaptive to these climates conditions. and we are confident that with the huge amount of scientific old research to take these as a management of our, for us to be more resilient to these kinds of car trees or more than just to commodity their roots store enormous amounts of water helping prevent forest fires and mitigating desertification for the arid regions of southern particles. they are
