a great journey and the grim reality. i have never been to hell, but that's what it must feel like. this a hair, it was pale. i swear. what remains to this i just want to be free, the. the house on the edge of this a hard on the last shelter start september, 2nd on dw, the hello and welcome to focus on your up. it's wonderful to have you ever does. 6 months off the devastating earthquake shocked ducky. the nation continues to confront the hug julian task of providing housing and clean water to all the affected residents. $50000.00 dead on phones, less houses, and when it is destroyed. when the mazda of old, quick, hip, delphi, and syria,

in february of 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 victims still have no other choice but to live. i'm, it's, the survivors are bothered about the future. like so big a home on. she feels that she might never be able to lead a normal life again. or when's a beta come on? miss assist a zane up. she comes here even if it brings back painful memories.

the quakes in early february towards the betas family, a part took say all the, you know, i lost everything that day. my face, my trust, my hope and my joy of life in it. because and it was someone who drew happiness from the little things. she had a lot of energy and she was always smiling. what did you notice? the quakes had varied 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. her sister died shortly, often hospital or 6 months later,

grief has increasingly turned into despair for the beta. she lives in a small container right next to her damaged home. with one of her sisters and her mother brand new to yeah, nice live here. my sister sleeps on the floor, which the 3 of us share this close that for the event. sorry, it's a bit messy. i didn't have time to clean up, provide them with 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 get out and it's a make shift life and can be getting us not i can't see a future for myself. we just struggling to survive is because i guess so many people have slapped this area and those who stayed are somehow trying to give each

other strength by helping each other. and they called up to the 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 fetus. antonia cities in southeast and 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 open unfolding house catastrophe. huge plumes of dust have been created by demolished buildings. contaminants such as a special small cure and lead poisoning nearby waterways as well as the local inhabitants. somebody go to us, goes lead to that point. they will pull up what we're seeing. an increase in i infections due to the dust, but also more smart attacks of lung diseases. let them

a little and miss it. we know that the desk contains talks and like a specialist, and what does a special school age can cause lung cancer and stomach cancer in the long term? i don't, it's the city of the videos president ridge of tonya to add one team on the flyer for his initial response to the design stuff. he has promised a rapid reconstruction. hundreds of thousands of new homes within one year. construction sites like this one have sprung up across the region. you'll be able to enjoy this time is our biggest opponent. we're trying to finish the projects as fast as we can. because we think the most people we can get into new homes as quickly as possible, which is the best. so it will be for us and for everyone. yeah. she is. what's many fear that it will take much longer before they again have a roof over their heads. the old was we trying to have hope,

but it's very difficult. it's been 6. let me show that the rubble is still here and 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, get a jamie up the item. so we have absolutely nothing in it 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 on the how yes i am almost always gives zabeda also often feels left alone and wonders when things will start to feel a bit more normal again and meet the rubble of her sister's old house. it's very difficult. she says, to imagine a new beginning a wind and waves are as much

a part 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 milan 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 sign 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, on and on a seemingly endless white beach. but the beautiful nature that has attracted towards 2 decades is increasingly on the 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 allow sense because you didn't measure against climate change job and the balance we have 200 years worth of tables

documenting storms that come on that 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 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 stuff because the bomb and them like the ship we only for a small area, it's very our allowed to mine sense that are selected b, z as a bag the good to send to form a good commission, good credit, the full so the disturbance to minimize it. so we are this also we are only allowed to minus the bad this morning time to meet this of all the depths. and we'll just kind of some some just brought to the coast am nice since it's

a fairly quick corporation. 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 at home and we drove over here, which was a 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 away next while doing the dist off walk the egg babs is allowed to have sand under his feet. again. he would have liked

things to move fast, but there wasn't a way for him. he says that coming back in 2 years to pour up it most time. don't just to play it safe. comes of okay. mutual feel more comfortable with your simply is there an end in sight alone is in some shifting june and the see the island has been inhabited for over a 1000 years. but even when the going gets tough, the fusions love the home as do the many taurus to visit the i to the 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 tickets to go. actually the dutch government is responsible for monitoring the coast and they pay for it to the child. so they're all initiatives to make comm alone most stable to through so called green beaches. that says the what an amazing view piece from. also let me rush to holmes half as far as the amalia i'm seeing and all loves the mix of the sandy beaches. the sheets

and the mullins as the venice lagoon. okay. you begin to get the points where salt water meets fresh water, soon dry meets 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 own 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 a i to europe and union is striving to enact stricter laws to save god user data and combine his into it's gone to bottom of the us or in china and about getting capital. sophia, the issue is investing millions of funerals to promote artificial intelligence. there's such a death as love up at true about on to know well is among those who are diligently

walking to shape europe's future in the field. in the center of sophia, this computer scientists are data we are on the one of the busiest girls all 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. this is the air pollutants and those so you can see the noise levels your during the weekend there is no dropping now. hi,

my name is uh, this is 1250 yeomans oliver. i'm leaving the city digital twins by what's brought to the and the aim of this product is to create a digital twin of. so if you see a picture of 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 district, easiest, or the use case. 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 research to understand. for example, how the wind moves through the architecture of the city, or where air pollution is 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 the walkability and the 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 plus of, uh, the digital do we need to guide the decision making process in the state, in the digital twin us from the 8th. what if scenarios, if i change the 3 it all to 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 in bulgaria aren't the only ones attempting to use a i to improve life in their hometown cities from santiago date. sheila,

to hyderabad and india, i'm working on similar initiatives. these smart cities are one less a few visible symptoms, often otherwise invisible revolution. technology has long become a part of our world with a high algorithms deciding now for instance, what we see on social media. and in europe, at least, people will soon be using a i, under a strict new rule of book theme brewed up in brussels. in many ways, your opinion is considered to the global stronghold of privacy. the book already has much stricter data protection rules than 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 risk, the post. and we're told that those risks are real. a lie has been shown to

replicate biases or supercharge. this information for the design intelligence is a black box. and so the way you want to mitigate these risk is to ask that you need to 1st to document to the data sets, give the information to the user or that are sufficient intelligence system about how that artificial intelligence system works. the question is, do the company is developing a technology considered this approach a blessing or a curse? we are designed to be a game changer test for the commission and expect from west to, 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 the university in sweden and co finance with 13000000 euros in e use seats funding the my name is 0 here in

a row and the director of the gate. the secure service center is doing research on how to apply artificial intelligence to develop real life solutions. we define the for application areas in the beginning. and in addition to the future of cities of the application, eighty's digital health researchers that gates are using a i to better understand cognitive 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 in privacy, 70 euro evicted into and the settings because of

the 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 leader and trustworthy i is the right path forward . absolutely. yeah. so it's, it's a, it's method of trust between us. that's not everyone is convinced. we are in that section of the race in the 1st things that should be moving us is all we part of the technology core rehabilitation. otherwise the reason for your is to be kept of history. this summer, the former politician co wrote an open letter with over 160 european business executives warning, but the use planned a loss could jeopardize europe's competitiveness. we for sure, i have to be able to project 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 can go on with creating jobs that will be suffering in this technology. coal at choices o, as in the loan of the industry, insiders express similar concerns and kids. 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 with charge of 50, for instance, on charge of 50 was launched as a test using as all as gimme peaks, using our data going over it, 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 the rules won't be the only factor determining europe success

. 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 and the challenge is how do you exchange 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 on not over regulating otherwise, we're stretching the investment. and so we are touching you all back in brussels. you officials tell us very upcoming a our rules won't place on due to non so on innovators effect the what we ask companies to do is to simply assess, before they put the, the artificial intelligence system to be used for that purpose. that is, go see the higher risk and to be frank with you and give you the desktops a i for the higher risk intended purpose should do those things,

though rating the bulk itself invested around 4000000000 euros, an artificial intelligence from 2021 to 20. 22, although most of today's coaching h, a applications were developed elsewhere, brussels in safe europe as well placed in the race for a i. everybody knows the child that you be t by the audiology that or some of those that have been developed into europe in union. and maybe they're smaller and less known. but they are 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 reshape the global balance of power. that would be to get a use of companies in countries. the one that's have access to the best day i am adults and the one the time. but perhaps that depends on how you define success.

while you're with may remain the under dog in terms of investment or innovation, the continent is treating the charges 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 then and go to get the book area. and researchers have big plans for the coming years. here is our new buildings 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 cities building will only be beginning and that it will inspire others. we want those care with the project stuff to cover, for example, the cole city and don't worry,

not to, to corporate with other cities in europe, and all of the world is on the rise. now europe's 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 cold coke. it was about and we also used as an early swimming a golf has proven to be an excellent, naturally repeated it aids and found and heat in solution and is incredibly elastic . a single tree. can you add up to 200 kilograms of cock during his lifetime? however, golf farmers and bought a good expressing concern about the how this was 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

. so it's time to harvest by then 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 about a but healthy car trees need a healthy supply of water due to increasing drought. the trees are producing ever less spark of december. and that's not all to know if it doesn't rain here in there with you, that's not so bad about the virus, but the long periods of drought caused by the tree to dry out. right, right. 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 thousands in portugal. versatile material is still used mostly for bottle clark, but that could change the policy. it also says that these 5,

these we've called this morning more to sustainable alternatives to haven't materials that that know sustained. 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 spaces from these parts of the world. these by far the most well adaptive to these climate 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

nothing short of a miracle. that's it for this edition, no focus on europe. we need to be back next week until then. good bye and take care the the, the,
