of the one darren go to health, smart nature, the more likes watching it on youtube. dw documentary, the this is focus on europe. i'm laura babylon. welcome. for centuries, it was water that help protect the tiny archipelago, a venice against invaders. but now water itself has become the threat and $29.00 team. the italian city experienced the worst flooding in decades with high tide levels inundating. the lagoon is toward buildings and architectural masterpieces were damaged. smaller floods continued to hit venice of sea levels rise and the foundations of the city think but this year

the tide could change in venice has favor the moser project, a system of mobile floodgates that act as a barrier between the sea and the lagoon is finally complete when the tide is too high, moser is activated to stop the water from breaching the city. but keeping venice dry comes at a cost marine research or gear on these are warns, but the fund dates are only a short term solution. the venice has fascinated the world for over 1600 years and for just as long people have been scared of floods or worried that the city could sink into the sea. this is the latest attempt to protect venice. 78 metal barriers that can be raised to separate the sea from the laguna. the system is called mos at signalfx triple symbol. if we hadn't had mos, the dentist would have been irreparably destroyed. on november 22nd of 2022. it was

the 2nd highest flood in history, but nothing happened to them. we were able to protect the lagoon and ven, isabel professed long ebony, so this elizabeth to spits has already given the order to raise the barriers over 50 times that much to compare, search, see, and she's having to do with increasingly frequently. so think about the jeanetta 40 the most that we now know that mostly is a flexible instrument that does not always have to be opened and nor at the same time set down a little sub. today, we know much more about the blacks and winds. so we're in a position to act again for flooding and out within 50 has the most a system only partially to guarantee the exchange of water between the sea and then a good, very easy to go for that model. and does that mean venice can be saved? climate experts predict that the sea level could rise by 60 centimeters by the end

of the century. the oceanographer gate arc when the keys and says that most it is just buying time for the most hours and he's most enough to say tennis game. a man, yes. at the moment seen so definitely in the next 1020 or 30 years. but if the sea level rises by 50 centimeters, and it will have to be used $300.00 to $400.00 times, that's once a day. first, i didn't want to manage a shaft that moves, it won't be able to cool as a structure. but nor will the lagoon manage it because it needs the exchange of water. uh, did i won't it, but often host gosh marco sequel vinny from the venice institute of marine sciences is researching the lagoons eco system. he says the frequency with which most a is being used has not yet had any major consequences. but this could change if the lagoon is separated from the sea more frequently and for longer periods of time . the time. okay, so i mean it's a sort of thing. it could be that at some point,

we'll have to decide whether it makes sense to maintain the lagoon as a salt water lagoon or not the room for see the long closures interrupt the cycle between the sea and the lagoon, which is fundamental for venice. and we're all open to them, you know, it's creates the lagoon floor southerners, which determines what plants and animals can lived there. advocate. we're going to face the talk decisions because they could understand the future whether to save the lagoon or the city the nations would ideally keep both the san marco is the lowest point of venice and the 1st applied work is currently under way to raise the square the going to my buddy now were raised to a $110.00 centimeters in the square would no longer be under water because it would manage up to a 110 centimeters with like flooding. and that over a $110.00 centimeters come. and what was the system would close?

so in other words, there would be no more flooding on the son marco he believes we need to have faith . that people often forget that venice has sunk 30 centimeters in the past 150 years. too much ground water has been pumped from the cities aquifers, but ground water could also help save the city from disaster response that is not always the water that's being pumped out. this pump idea and then vintage could rise by 30 centimeters again. that would be the exact, the 30 centimeters that we've lost in the past, a 150 years. so the one i'm going to, let's move it up. so we will be going back the button, the starting at 0 again, so to speak, for most of us are he says that venice, as we know it cannot last forever in any case. at some point the lagoon will have to be separated from the sea. and the venetians will be forced to decide what kind of a,

by those cannot be rescued. we have to decide what to save some vent investment. there is only one bending and it keeps not. i'm in a difficult decision. one venetians hope they will never have to make is a therapy that could be a game changer in the fight against cancer. radio isotopes cannot only detect but also target and destroy cancer cells. yet only a handful of nuclear research reactors worldwide can produce them. and with the infrastructure aging and cancer rates increasing globally, demand is fast outpacing supply. well, most of the research reactors are in europe, including one in belgium. scientists there say that if the wants to avoid serious shortages, more facilities need to be built. and soon for many germans, it's an intimidating sight. the dome of a nuclear reactor,

this plant in mole belgium is one of the oldest in europe. however, it's not actually used for generating energy, but rather for scientific research. it plays a central role in nuclear medicine. then apple, so grew up, so to speak with b, r to and is proud of its history. let's say it's a set in the one of the most important to react though. yeah. for the, the liable supply or for me to read you eyes as a rule, but he lifted him. 99 or molly 99 for short is the name of the coveted isotope that enables ultra precise diagnoses of cancer and the task disease for up to 40000000 patients worldwide. but like all radioactive isotopes, it is not stable up to 66 hours off the for us at the p is gone. so we cannot step 5. so it's very important that we have a very nice code the nation between those 26 who react or in fact involved in

the robot supply of 2099. so that's about certificate. but in germany there have already been bottlenecks and treatments have been postponed because there are only 6 reactors worldwide that make the isotope for in europe in belgium, the netherlands, poland, and check here one in australia and one in south africa in the americas in asia. none 50 percent of the real but i'm only $99.00 club does have sin is sent to the us and canada. so nope, i mean we go, it's the main consumer of morning 9960 some 99 in europe is consuming 25 percent of the bill by the men's and 75 percent is supplied around the us, however, supplies the uranium and keeps a close eye on safety in the aging belgian reactor, small is also

a research center focusing on medicines of the future. radio isotopes are just for the diagnosis of cancer, but also for its treatment. radioactivity of all things may ultimately be a game changer. there's a lot of clinical trials on going, there's a lot of research groups trying to really get new new compounds into the clinic. so i think we only see the top of the high back because with the right combination of carrier molecule and isotope cancer cells could be directly targeted, which would spare, healthy tissue, and means far fewer side effects. even highly aggressive types of cancer could be attacked in this way. the nuclear medicine is booming. the brand new jewel board, a institute is the hospital in belgium for cancer treatment. here radio isotopes are used for diagnosis,

but i've also been deployed in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, which even leaves patients radioactive for a day. after the radio isotope injection, the patient must be isolated for 24 hours. according to professor patrick simon, after 4 injections tumor shrank and at least a 3rd of patients who had shown no response to other treatments. not yet a cure, but life prolonging and paint, relieving the success can be seen in what's called a pet scan. a 2000000 euro camera that makes the work of radioactive particles in the body visible against a backdrop of sunny skies in the belgian coast. this kind of environment takes away part of the x. i see that the patients have when they enter disco propose this is one of the most successful moments that you can imagine of the page that live across these kinds of machinery decide whether they rid of the treatments off efficient off or the effective or not the

opportunities offered by nuclear medicine have increased the demand for isotopes, and with that increased pressure on the few reactors, the u wants to provide millions and research funding that reactors are not built overnight. and many people are afraid of them. the graves over turned in a cemetery plots of land swallowed by the earth destruction that was caused not by an earthquake, but by sing calls residence in the southern polish town of cuban. yeah. are alarmed at the mass of craters that began appearing 2 years ago. at the root of the problem is a mine that was d commission decades ago. going away for to watch. i was recently widowed and his morning her husband's death, but you can't visit his grave because a sink hole left parts of his cemetery off limits. residents into bidding you are living in fear not knowing if the ground below them will collapse. the

student, the sink holes were so big that entire buildings collapsed. lose a show, but people are afraid for their lives. there are a lot of homes here. have a house like this collapses if someone will die. yeah. like you don't make it. so she is actually no one knows where it's still safe should be in a small city in southern poland, sits above a massive cavity left behind by the coal mining industry. and it has gradually collapsing like the giant sink hole in this property, which has been hastily filled in young may of sky looks a few houses a week on john paul, the 2nd street. he lives with his wife and son for whom they move to the country

side. he's very worried. he's trying to hold back into resistible force. yep. on that supervisors. yeah, i have just filled in the soil here. i am jo, everything was level here and now you can see that it has sunk again a 2nd. i'm definitely afraid. you know. yeah, i go to bed. well, don't know what the crowns will collapse under us. the next morning club is just brought to you and you're going to right on. it'll be a meter deeper. could you tell me your video? you're dropping it down on that data to utilize? no. that should be a coal. mine was close at the turn of the millennium, and since then, the underground shots are filled up with water and stuff in the ground, which is started giving. we disagree, the art was hit in the summer. dozens of grieves disappeared into the sink hole. a great shock for general visa collette check her family grief with spirits, but she can no longer visit her husband's too. yeah,

disposal and no problem. you have to start over there. so that's where the yellow crane is. that white gave a stone right at the back half the symmetry has been closed for few years of new singles. right. it's hard. my husband died just recently. the all she has left is the food to on her food. and the hope that the graveyard will be restored soon to be a city hall isn't a state of emergency. some are already talking about it back to ration marietta to swap a quote, you know, is under pressure to take action. when did you establish tia what's on the when the we're paying for the mistakes of the past? i know of the mistakes made during the underground coal mining phase. before the shops were an operation, the consequences were forgotten or ignored of the put salvage center. then when i look at all the documents today is the i believe all of this could have been

foreseen who, books of egypt a number of properties in the time have been cordoned off. people are not allowed to enter a stay tuned, company's specializes in cleaning up the damage caused by the mines. holes are being bored. 17 meters into the ground. the geologists are certain that their method will prevent future singles just goes to submit that. so we're going to fill these cavities with a mixture of dusty cement and sand to eliminate the possibility of the land to thinking in the future. i'm going to guess cool, thanks for the purpose of it. and we will continue doing this until we are confident that the area is safe for everyone to stay within well beach from valve by just 7 years. but that is our goal. and that is what we were going to achieve. the provides you types like these ones that being some concurrent everywhere, and should be new and thousands of cubic meters of cement being poured to fill the

cavities. the mere hopes it will help. he feels it's the duty of the publish date is let me have them on government. show me off the sure. mean, i have no intention of using the cities resources to solve the problem is of no over which we had no influence on the consequences of which we are unfortunately suffering. now. good and wish me but not for you bought it back on john paul. the 2nd street yeah, and my epsky visits his neighbors and boy chest come out. who recently found cracks in the walls of his smallest barn of the building is older than he is. but the cracks are new. tons of cement have already been pumped into the ground on his property, but he types will do any good. the workers moved on, he says, before the holes were even full of this was on zillow. like the way they work here is you're not sure if it's done 100 percent properly if the or if the problem will come back given you for life as

a little bigger a few days later the ground in his neighborhood caves. and again, here's bread from an apartment building the residence of should be near, continue to live in fear, village actions built pyramids as monuments for pharaohs, and albania, as capital, as also home to one. originally made to honor ally dictator. during communist rule, the pyramid of toronto was a museum dedicated to a former leader and for a whole jet. well, it has since been given a new lease on life as a monument to the people. now the pyramid has been transformed into a cultural hub, but not every one is a fam photos. lu vanya was imprisoned, under the communist dictators regime. he sees the newly renovated pyramid as an attempt to gloss over a dark chapter. in his country's history. it's gone.

what it takes to become the new landmark about pena's capital, to run up the pyramid at the heart of the city of every day. hundreds of locals and tourists climb up it and enjoy the view from the top. so it's wonderful here and i'm usually not good at climbing, but i made it up here before that. so it would be great if there were an elevator up here for us. old people call it, it's totally changed here. and i still remember what it used to look like, but no really beautiful. because the parent was the landmark of toronto once before 35 years ago. it was inaugurated as the end for jose museum and dedicated to the former dictator of albania. how much it was a style and it says brutal rain lasted over 40 years thought house. livonia was one of tens of thousands of political prisoners at the time. the pyramid,

he says, was a symbol of oppression and is now a symbol of modern albania, is historical ignorance. look through these nice velvet data, you'll go up and you'll see to around all the feet. but there is not just a few more and the name is, i mean, i mean as a symbol of the dictators at home, the bone, your shows us what he means of the bone. his father was a functionary in the hose your machine before he fell out of favor. the whole family was forced to atone. the will refuse for education and propaganda gazer again for people and the rest of them. the assembly was sent in deprivation. livonia was a prisoner of the old regime. for 17 years. he spent most of his time doing forced labor and then a toria sponsors prison. this is all remaining of a light for the mix light lamps far

we used it in the mine, you know such was like a stolen is to lock hell on earth. survival under, in human conditions, us almost all books were strictly forbidden, apart from dictionaries which livonia used to hide something that would later making famous. his 1st book, written on cigarette paper during his incarceration in miniature script. that to me by a friend the bonia is now a writer, and artist, and a critical voice and albania. in his view, the renovated pyramid is an attempt to erase the dark history of communism in albania. no one can among, than your young generation come here and find the trace of, of the boss quite the opposite says architect again to your goalie while planning

the new pair in the dutch architects in charge were always concerned with making the past visible. the most important change is found on the stairs, then the majority of the youth is a property. so people should feel like they are incurring the parent or symbolically opposing communism. i'm using dictatorship. the florida on the community is me from the the, the customer again and again, the buildings history is revealed in various places. this is all part of that it's only painted and it's so rough that to, to show the history of in the new pyramid. everything revolves around the future, colorful cubes built into the vast space. how's the 2 most center for creative technology? the young people can learn to implement their ideas here using state of the art technology. anyone can take part here and it's free of the cars to come

reduce. i've already done a few introductory courses that to mo and i think i'll continue. i see my future and technology technology and tutors also lend a helping hand in the workshop. next door, a project is nearing completion and it's not about computer games, but about obeying is dark past. the total cost for to the machine. and so this is a graphic design class at tumor. and we're working on a project about spots present to brittany point. we're going to sponsor a project about of all things the prison where fontose livonia withheld. perhaps they'll be news or not as oblivious to history as he fears them. how was it, how it was created, and this is how we suffer through so much because of the see little how in order not to repeat something they seem to be working on in the new

pair of the delivery on demand has a revolutionize the consumer world but this transport truck in france is like no other. with a flip of a switch, it transforms into a cinema. it's culture on demand for small towns without a movie, theater, and initiative supported by the state. instead of streaming at home alone, audiences of all ages come together for a unique cinematic experience. it's always entertaining. when joseph tippins quay drive this truck, the lar valley and central friends and all the more so when he transforms it into a sentiment with a few presses of a button, the cindy immobile can see 100 people. the running is a one man show initial fail. we drive, look after the audience sell tickets, project the films clean up all by yourself as well. so you have to wear many hats,

but all onto the tickets. get to 1st off for the kids to watch an animated film. people here see that the move outs and amount, it's getting some children access to culture for the 1st time to show them that. so it's great, that's the new mobility of this and that way children don't have to go into town to the course. that's fine. this is turned on for this and will be opens up new opportunities and giving children a bit of education, an introduction to film. so to speak, there are sending will be used, working across the region and showing the latest films people can go to the cinema without being a big hassle. set down is this way, people experience culture that they wouldn't otherwise have access to. like older people in a retirement home, for example, when i'm using the type,

the ticket price is also accessible. children pay for euros and adults p $6.00 us 20. but the tickets don't cover the actual costs. each cynical deal is worth 1200000 euros. for the regional president thinks it's money well spent single, do know really cool. if we only give it to people in big. so there's a gap arises and there's a feeling that there are people who have access to culture and those who don't see why they could do it. we don't want that to be culture has to unite people could just bring us together and i could do to pass on the, at a time when our societies are very fragile, 50. so one quick question. this, the name will be elizabeth more than cinema. it's also about francis identity. it's culture and society. well, that shows an upgrade from them all by libraries of my childhood. that's all from us this week and focus on your up thanks so much for your company. bye. for now, the
