so far in a race against time, they are peers and rivals with one daring gold to help smart nature. the more likes watching on youtube, dw documentary, patrick menace. and the sun is of my color, just he's researching to funky, focuses on the use as the material of the future using my ceiling and the spread, like network of phone call routes. he's growing the slips that today he's bringing here to try to tie piece to that. how is the time vironment is crying out for biodegradable materials in that are less energy intensive to produce. and again, you can see the teeth that he is free, such
9:31 am
a deep and his fascination with funding montalvo, you can see a cloudy growth here. so in the future, i like to see the fungus fill up the whole dish. so this is the one we'll use, the patrick mona is a plan in, even if he likes to use an old fashioned hand costs he's researching the way, funding could change on lines. this industrial area in edmond because a, some of the sun used to be the size of a vist coast 5 of century it was the largest employer in the area until the phone went bankrupt in 2009, leaving the ground head li contaminated with sink. if he wins the remediation
9:32 am
contracts, patrick luna intends to solve this contamination problem with funky, the tombstones that the, the state of our planet emissions. the state of the ground is woolfolk. and it's getting worse that a lot of soil is degrading and it's loaded with heavy metals, especially in urban region them. it's all about finding future oriented solutions. patrick moon is facebook foraging spot is on the other side of the sun. here he can gather what he needs for his work sunday, which could help remediate the contaminated industrial area, the u. n. d symbolic copies mission i often came walking in this wood is a child of it's where i grew up 9 fall cities close. my father is also in my college, just a, from the research here, a few me gave him of the some vague i learned
9:33 am
a lot from his internet so that he sparked my interest in nature to solomon having been up to these mysterious organisms and not the plants, no animals, they form their own kingdom. patrick moon is picky about his mushrooms. he needs special types of special tasks. the stuff gets most today today i've still got 2 or 3 mushrooms on my wish list for material development and t clue. so if there are 2 or 3 types of bracket, fungus, i'd like to find now to use in my next few months work next and thought, oh no, he gets lucky and finds again, no damage, which is just right for his research. he's not keen on the idea of ordering funky on the internet. the low calling local funky, just work much better in my lab than the funding you can buy from just anywhere i am get calls in to see for uses. you will hear. i've never worked out why you can
9:34 am
help us, but for me that's what works and think. so this is monique luna used to be a joiner. he also studied product design, but now he devotes himself to funky research. the, the best finds from his research a multiply to you in his lab using a nutrients solution in a petri dish, the women on pets and studies thing. when you talk about funky, most people think of mushrooms, you put them, but that's just the fruit body that grows above the ground. like an apple on a tree, cut the 52 teeth, and the root body is the reproductive structure, right? then the actual funky is the huge network of my celia. i'm in the ground, emboldened bidding. his goal is to breed fungal, my celia. i'm here in the lab as it forms the basis of his work
9:35 am
in the audit and all to seal it in 2 zeros. one was in the fridge for 6 months, in hibernation, as it were. you know, it's slowly growing of cool cuz i have to intervene and time for it to thrive. that's what we're doing now. and then i found my favorite tight, and then they were all growing uniformly of excel. much have a look showing me and my mother and i just recently moved into one of these labs on the edge of the sink contamination area. he wants to remediation he's been turning out preliminary tests for a while. this aquarium allows him to examine the results. the citizenship exchange. you say this reddish layer we see here is the soil heavily contaminated with his inc and hydrocarbons. cornered lots of stuff healthy for different types of funky which can neutralize and thinking hydrocarbons. ingram
9:36 am
quoted and also shut off. we're using 2 different types of funky. we've already reduced the pollution levels in half a year to get into it, and he transports the results of his experiments out tools. these beach logs have been injected with my celia. i'm from king always to mushrooms. it's now growing all over them. the task of the fungus is to absorb as much think as possible and transfers into below fits me to the so funk of my celia. it's such a large network, the roots, and it's like the roots of the funky here on the old here on the surface, it looks like white matter. patrick luna wants to find out which funky works best with which plants and bacteria to reach the best results on the sides of the he's conducting power, little experiments with willow plants which have proved successful in similar
9:37 am
trials. the trips of the roots deep into a kind of fungal brute, so called liquid my celia, to get as much fungus as possible on the gallon roots. the interaction then work similarly to the beach locks the vi thank the holdings and seeing the willows extract this thing from the ground, but often for they need the funky to do so to speak about the funky past those inc onto the trees through the roots has been done, decent synchronize on the 30 or 4050 will see the trees then concentrated into the leaves and the branches break then on income is at least 2000000 spaces of funky exist worldwide. many living symbiosis with certain tree and bacteria spaces, according to estimates on the one percent is known so as time yet funky, determine important processes in the lives they are increasingly in demand,
9:38 am
especially in the biotech sector. the hope is that the new materials based on the phone go, my c. m, could replace less sustainable materials, the unassailable from the founder, who is the institute for applied pulling the researching potsdam, has been eagerly awaiting this package. it contains and let the substitute mushroom leather. this has been died and waxed, a set stuff. this is the song of material i sent for processing. my gosh, the main task was to die. the original color. you already know they did a good job of it or found it could be turned into a hand bag or something similar. so not hunters of what i said off all that kind of scheme of the use. this is fine. fungal threats to create the live up. his goal is to produce it on a launch scale, substitute live the is an increasingly high demand in the textile industry. in the production process, he makes use of a special property of the phone call,
9:39 am
my cnn of the fine roots dental grow in the legal way, but in a 3 dimensional jungle forming structure that can hold carriers substrates together . how does that looks good? so the customer will write the pers, approximately, from the screws relatively quickly and doesn't really need any light and people die . we have the idea that we can produce the materials without using too much energy and resources upon much volume has materials, which ideally are recyclable and contribute to the circular economy. it isn't caused. it's not like the usual linear economy way, where you take something, use it, and then throw it away. in terms of texture, it's much like animal lives on. this bag is human the show piece. mushroom and at the products of actually being made from tyndall or to fungus for a long time. in romania distribution still exists today,
9:40 am
but the material is comparatively red. so production is limited to the wants to change that the, i think that's, that's and that's why you're thinking a bit further on bassoon course. if i want to produce larger quantities and so we can produce more quickly, often that i couldn't see income, but it can take years from this like this to grow until it's finally ready. it's done hype, emulation of the basic formula to the material is simple. in a book, as we're trying to nutrients such as moodle cereal, stats to the phone, go my ceiling. once mixed together, the growth process is triggered. the result is quite remarkable. this is what the strongest length looks like in its full state. it resembles a huge list on you, the level has matured and innovation room of to just 2 weeks. a much faster process than with kind of hot kind of, okay,
9:41 am
and it looks pretty good. what kind of actually sliced you can pull it off quite easily. as you can see, we're not as far as like the substrate to hanging from the mushroom leather slips, tots, anita, hang on pitts. later he's constantly finding the recipe. no, it's up to mom. i've tried a few different substructure combinations, and it's always exciting to find out how it works. this is the model. it can be easily peeled off. helpless is probably the material has turned out. it does not have soft or hard. it is hot on. that's always an exciting moment, the mentor it's important to honda scene of the that his product is 100 percent organic. in the material test to mushroom 11 now has to prove that it's doable stretchable and 10 resistant. he's looking to optimize it as much as possible,
9:42 am
industry specifications of fairly straight. i so it's a good result. we can work with this. yeah. yeah. this is all just showing us the great thing about this work, is it so much is still a noun, or you can be experimental one for life and take fun. yes miss. i might discover a fungus that is an ideal as a leather substitute for that. just best to get that might be able to break down a plastics. for instance, plastic i phone, hold on to invest model. there's a lot of potential importance out there is still so much to discuss about funding, new ways of working with them and benefiting from their affects or imagine all the time. for example, in medical research or in agriculture, the in the son,
9:43 am
patrick luna, is mixing up a special recipe. a victoria material is a hydrogen made from potato starch. this time his fungus will be used in a vineyard where one make his 100 his services. mission mission. here's this 1st i'm mixing the liquid my see liam of 12 different types of funky for the find some citibank, together with a hydro channel which is able to store extremely large quantities of water in teams . last success fashion at the z and run winery increasing the drawing. some of the opposing. a big problem for the wine girl is looking for ways to counteract whether extremes calls on the climate process. patrick moon, a sprays the my celia, i'm solution from his live onto the roots of the vines.
9:44 am
the idea is that the funky can use the low my see little filaments to drove water and you trans, out of the depth and support the plants in times of trouts you implants. and is this except extremely effective with young plants. i mean, broken in a dry summer when it doesn't rain for 3 or 4 months and even then sometimes up to 30 percent of the plants died. if they don't get enough water, fountain was initially can, you can be, they sit there and called in such extreme situations. funky, can provide the winemaker nor a branch, mutual cause of the winery from his father. when punch in the vines would have shots. and especially if it's ready to go with it, i think it's the idea. i say there's a sense so how do you pick the day?
9:45 am
a lot of i'm ready to start with 11 a lot. the style is the few. the higher the she didn't was set for the day me well then it was the cafeteria. i might ask the ladies to said different let it mean then what kind of waiting tag is funny? yeah. the capital pony it though the oh should i love to have the i mean what i said and what time me to do with any what would probably come i don't but that i could in that. what do you do of you? my name is the shortest by the minute what i have become famous people people say if it does a little to for the say that i study lizzy a shred, who thought that's what the had the, i'll give it to the media. i don't want to be the has a to say how much i'm so shot in the 0 to come to miss that is ok and
9:46 am
i'll cut the list because you have a to validate that. what does that mean? but again, mistakes. yes. so what's the name of the thoughts of a few more than a few minutes come up with your has easier at the see what the show what it was submitted. then have you effective for you to? well, i have to then we start, okay, we'll let you have 2 people commit to pick and what is the fraud to shuffle? oh, so will be made i, cuz i them, i love that product. it will be a say that to a said it looked like the wonderful that has led to that and the old farmington special and many projected and subsidy. and we'll get to that. so do you have a little database
9:47 am
9:48 am
also spoke about the fact that we needed to achieve a ceasefire and that the crisis otherwise would become increasingly worse. but also emphasized that the palestinian a question has to be dealt with comprehensively. that palestinians have the right to found their own independent estate in the borders of 1967 with east jerusalem as their capital. so with the chancellor and in our conversations, we spoke about furthering the peace process. and in addition of the i voice my concerns or dimensions, egypt that it is very,
9:49 am
very important to ensure that humanitarian aid is allowed to enter the territory with the palestinians live. and i've also stressed that egypt is receiving that there many terry in the eighty's and that we could transfer that to god via the border in 5500. so that we would open the border gates. and if i find order to allow those shipments, we could not do so prior because it was constantly or the area was constantly bombarded by israel. egypt rejects the idea that the palestinian question could only be solved militarily, or with military means or that a mass exodus of palestinians,
9:50 am
the trigger we still have much of a very supportive position regarding the palestinians. and please allow me here also. i spoke at length with the federal chancellor, and i also stressed that it would be very dangerous to try to just simply push aside the palestinian question. we are against what is currently happening and also well, how would definitely have gotten into the loop when hitler and i'm is this way then it has kind of been with us. so i had to put them in a homeless, and that's a little bit of a meeting today. maybe a better solution is best if it was the whole know that is
9:51 am
that how does that come in and said, it wasn't loving luisel the all . and if you're just joining us here in the, the news we're looking at live pictures of the of air force, one arriving in tel aviv with us present, joe biden on board. he's visiting the region, of course, amidst the escalating crisis in israel and the gaza strip. of a bombing at a hospital or a missile strike, we don't know exactly yet in gaza has caused the deaths. it seems of several 100 people. so joe biden is arriving under very difficult circumstances. a trip a visit to jordan, where he was supposed to meet with the leaders of,
9:52 am
of jordan and the palestinian authority has been cancelled. we'll have to see exactly what he's able to accomplish on this mission to try to stop the conflict from escalating now we're going to our corresponded matthew morris standing by in berlin. he's following all these events for us. we're going to be going back to a press conference that's happening right now in cairo between german, who's the leader trensler off schultz and the egyptian president of the front of cc . we'll be picking up on that in just a moment. there is a diplomatic mission underway from germany, transel shoals being the 1st to western leader to visit the region since the horrific attack by hom, us on is real. a week ago, saturday. let's, let's bring in matthew moore now here he's, he's in berlin,
9:53 am
following these events with his matthew, if you're with us, you've been watching all this unfold. uh, you've been following particularly transfer shots is visits to 1st israel and now egypt. what can you tell us about transel sholtes as mission? first of all well, funds or shots arrived in egypt late last night after the afternoon in the evening and. and as we are aware, he was the 1st. as you see, the 1st head of government to make the visit to israel since the rhetoric terror attack last week. and you have the chance to speak to mr. beth, not benjamin netanyahu, and he and he's fresh. what he's been saying for the last week, which is that germany believes in his real fight, to defend itself on the journey stands by is that is real side. he also did stretch that he feels that she monitor really needs to be a load into a gaza later in the evening. so then had the chance to meet with the families of
9:54 am
hostages, german citizens who are and held by how much terrace and gaza before heading off to egypt and what they asked him, what they said to him was that the hope that he would be able to pressure and president fox, i'll see, see who's meeting this morning and who's in that press conference with? no, i guess we'll be going to the moment he, the pressure it jump to put pressure on him us to load those hostages and to be released. and so this morning we just have him present a cc, terry, and he was really stressing the, the kind of the need for a ceasefire to stop, to stop the, the, the bloodshed. and he said that the palestinian question has to be dealt with comprehensively. they have a right to their own state, he said to president fotz, i'll cc really to really coming up from it from the other. the other side, if you like, and the voice egypt concerns that it is important. the aid reaches garza that is a low done. he said that egypt is ready to alert convoys of aid into gaza via the
9:55 am
rasa crossing. we know that there's been a stand off where this crossing egypt is happy for 8 to be sent in. but it's not happy for people to come in the opposite direction because egypt doesn't want a mass exodus of palestinians on it's totally phone number of reasons. one of them is that police definitely deal with the question firstly, and secondly, they don't want a lot of they don't want to have to, to look still. quite frankly speaking, a huge number of refugees arriving in the tow truck. so there's 2 reasons why that's a red line for each of them. and so present policies you'll be stressing the need for this posted in question to be dealt with. and he said it was, he said cool. it was dangerous to put the policy any question to one site. i the looking for a comprehensive, long term solution. and yep, matthew, thank you for now. just to remind our viewers what we're looking at right now, that is the it is air force one on your screens. we're looking at the arrival of us
9:56 am
president joe biden, launching his diplomatic permission to try to stop this conflict from spiraling out of control from escalating. we know that president biden will be speaking with, of course, israel's present, benyamin us and yahoo! a prime minister bit benjamin this in the yahoo and he was hoping to be meeting with other leaders, but it's not really clear what is temporary is going to be while this is happening in cairo next door to gaza. we are in egypt. we have german chancellor, a couple of shots meeting with with egypt president of the frontal i'll see. see if they're holding a joint news conference right now. matthew moore, our correspondent here in berlin, has been following these events with me. matthew, what can we, uh, what, what can we expect from jo bivens visit to israel?
9:57 am
i know, steve. well, that's usually symbolic. that he makes this visit. we saw that the security kind of risks with, with them. tons of all our shots. was it yesterday in the number of the air raid sirens that went off and he saw tons of the shots had to go to a bunker several times during his visit. and so this must not, that's really kind of easy to arrange for that for the us and secret services i'm ultimately find one to, to, to bind as they attempt to, to express all authority with israel and to be biased, real sites just on that military list militarily, in the last week, i am by sending the u. s. navy of strengthening the u. s. navy presence and, and the mediterranean. now he's there in pass and he wanted to meet as you see, with president posted in present month with a boss. he wanted to meet with the joe, daddy and can you egypt, president of the front to us, you see, but that visit was cancelled last night following the attack on the hospital. so
9:58 am
exact how exactly where the diplomatic aspect of this visit goes is on clear this page in the 1st sentence to be here be you'll be meeting with an prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and i imagine you'll also be meeting with the president and all the senior that goes in as little as you need to government look and see, know that there's some action to it to you on the, on the thomas. yeah. sorry, i'm a guess. it will be expressing solidarity, making a point that us is very much by israel site and leaves and is committed to israel's light to defend itself. but at the same time, also making the point strong points from his matthew moore there. while we're about to see us prison through button and don't forget a few nights it will be mentioned in gaza. and so i guess here in cairo, the sufferings of the bottom and god. and i'd like to stress this once again,
9:59 am
the most of the attack dog off the switch, the terrace of from us on israel and its citizens is in just a file. and we condemn it in the strong you turn it off, just evaluate at this 1st position, every state in the world was right. able to do so that's to defend itself, to ship some and it's population again, such an attack, there's stopped. and this certainly also holds true for israel, a president in tennessee for the hu money to it was the president. we have talked about the intensively, also about the humanitarian situation in goss. i'm us, and it is also clear that time the rest for palestinians on her mazda and mazda has no right to speak on behalf of the palestinian. this guys is for mazda is taking innocent people as hostages and are abusing of them. so using them just as equals human shields for that 1st thing just mentioned is your life. so we need to try and protect up the civilian population and try to mitigate the next to effect of suffering. and that is why have come to from egypt. because as
10:00 am
a direct neighbor of egypt, as mine is affected, i'm in the most of the directors way, but there's a conflict. and therefore it is also, i think people the most important and sort of investor as quickly as possible. gain access for humanitarian aid coming. and these are the dresser. and i can assure you mentioned mr. law that we will not presume abandoned. people in getting lots of guys at the federal german republic will continue to monetary and commitment to gaza in order to mitigate the cause of suffering from dodge on this, the president and fleet, and to germany, to satisfy the joint. a minute directive of the long waiting consideration stuck in the middle east. and i would like to guard against anybody to have them from trying to intervene from the outside. they would commit a very serious mistake indeed. and together with the egypt and probably we want to commit you to try and mitigate an effect on the serious consequences of this war.
