most people tend to think of beavers as a new sense as pasts but it turns out that beavers are very beneficial to the ecosystem. here in the east river valley of southern germany water buffalo are helping keep these fields healthy organic farmer mathias license is bringing them in for the winter. come on sweetie come on. the water buffalo will spend the winter months at the family's farm. so. during the summer the water buffalo had some company here beavers. with the buffalo gone it's time to get some advice. get hot shaft a wildlife biologist is often called in when beavers look like they might come into conflict with farmers or other local resit. yes this past summer the beavers built a dam along the edge of the meadow. so when i got trick i have just been working herd that's pretty fresh out there raising the dam for the winter. obviously high for just a few you know we're really glad to beaver built this big dam along our pasture this year because as you see that allows the water to flow into the grazing areas just as. if you're here i didn't serve us up before then destroying water buffal

that rises creating the beaver pond. since or to keeps flowing into the pond digimon chile bursts its banks those streams of water branch out eventually a complex ecosystem imagist with patches of standing water as well as small streams some moving slowly others small quickly. we start to grow along the pond submerged trees die off under marshland emerges nearby this gives rise to a vibrant most say a very taboo tatts. says it will go because to me it's fascinating to see how such a small animal can shape and transform an area leavers built a dam here that's more than $120.00 metres long and several generations of them kept doing it and that's all and your children at least. fish use the small streams to circumvent the dam under study carried out by the university of exeter showed that the dams actually improve the water quality. that's because the dams act as natural filters removing suspended solids phosphate and nitrogen from the. water downstream from a beaver dam the water contains about 70 percent fewer suspended s

and he returns to beaver island. so there is a lot more of that.hey, i was wondering one of the things both are interested in, in my reading has shown the landscapes of the midwest out of that. i wondered there is some stuff from. [inaudible] >> the introduction which this came out on in early june on reading set that i haven't read before this is a couple of paragraphs that you're right think it, the way think of all these essays they have a formally and systematically preoccupation with the idea of excavating. i think for me i some of his kind of an adoptive westerner, i think i grew up as my family was very nostalgic for the illinois prairie, i gripped the kind of mystic midwest. not just that but meeting the whole project to try to do certain excavation. in the book, your book, this is the midwest liquid never imagin imagine. it's one thing, something i love about the idea of islands as it feels to me like your whole book is doing the logic of the microcosm. here we can look closely at beaver island and tried to become that representative man o

all in a day's work for a beaver you know how long does the beaver take for that i figure just a couple hours and then. there's another lake it's lake. how much can you actually jump into any lake like that more or less in terms of the water quality yes. i was in that but there are protected areas are not allowed to set foot into. it with. where there's a dock or a beach it's no problem of the. large and small lakes they all formed when the glaciers retreated during the last ice age that's 15000 years ago. is a bit of an insider tip is that still the case but with it's more popular than before but it's still an insider to forget it will come on because very sparsely populated with more than 20 people per square kilometer in some areas. and the tourist numbers are small even if everything here is fully booked and you can still walk for hours without meeting a soul in the student mentioned stuff and went he has the coronavirus pandemic put the brakes on here what has changed. spring was a disaster for the restaurant sector but since late may we've been able to open up the holiday homes ag

and, after 400 years, beavers are being allowed to live in the wild again in england.g up on bbc news — golf‘s first major of the year, the us pga, is getting under way three months later than planned and without fans in san francisco this afternoon. good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. three days of mourning are under way in lebanon, after tuesday's deadly explosion in the capital beirut. at least 137 people are known to have died, and dozens are missing. the explosion is believed to have been caused by tonnes of ammonium nitrate being stored unsafely in a warehouse. the french president emmanuel macron visited beirut this morning and promised international help — but warned that if reforms aren't introdued, the country will continue to suffer. the uk is sending the royal navy ship hms enterprise to survey the damage at the port. here's our diplomatic correspondent james robbins. despair, grief, worry and anger are the dominant emotions in beirut. with so much of the lebanese capital destroyed, so many lives lost, the first efforts to clear up and begin

navy sent a gunship to beaver island which is amazing which proceeded to the true ending and is reallygood. the tragic story in the end, one little mom and talking about this figure who is sailing, going to beaver island, the warship closed in on a small channel between late here on -- lake here on, to see the forest and shores of michigan were conifers sword high into the air, rivaling it with their fresh red smell. i underline that moment because it is exemplary of what distinguishes the narrative history you are doing here, the literary story from some scholarly history though it reminded me of the historical imagination. needing to imagine yourself in this moment. when you talk about the methods, how did you go about getting the sense of place and detail. >> first of all it is tricky to talk about this, not completely but one of the exceptions in the last 40 years, i don't want to get slapped upside the head by some of my colleagues but academic historians have pushed back on the idea of narratives. when you are telling a story you are not telling another story. my own feeling is p

scotland's beavers were given protected status last year, but there have been problems.s a balance that can be found. there's a potato field which was flooded due to the actions of the beaver, it caused damage to the crop, a loss of crop, they can chop down trees in the wrong place. although, having said that, overall there is a net positive for beavers in terms of flood attenuation and the ability to do natural flood defences. the government will soon launch a consultation on whether they should be introduced more widely. claire marshall, bbc news, east devon. a a00 metre zip wire to whisk thrill—seekers across liverpool's skyline is due to open next year. however, the tourist attraction has divided opinion in the city. while some argue it's an opportunity to boost the economy, others fear it could be damaging to the historic city centre. adam mcclean has more. this is the view that thrillseekers can expect. a a00—metre aerial wire will carry riders across the city centre, making the fastest urban zip wire in the world. it's going to be exhilarating. you're seeing the c

we spoke to one business owner in beaver.e and her business have done very well in the pandemic so far in large part because the small community here really rallied around her restaurant when they were forced to shift to carry-out because of the pandemic. we also talked to a steel mill worker who lost his job earlier this year. the plant that was idle, the ceo of that company wrote an op-ed not long ago in the "wall street journal" saying they were forced to idle the plant because of president trump's trade war and his tariffs on steel imports. the steel worker that we spoke to, he voted for donald trump in 2016. and tells me he plans to do it again in 2016. that restaurant owner we talked to, she says she's leaning towards joe biden. >> they didn't open the mill back up until after he was in office. so i see both sides of that. i mean, a lot of things that trump did is the reason the mill opened back up. he got this partnership with instead of us going over to china, china came over here. and got a partnership going over her

president trump won beaver county by a 20-point margin in 2016.ty is at near 15% unemployment. nbc's ellison barber made her way there as part of our county to county series. ellison, what are you hearing from folks there, what sense are they giving you about who they're going to support in november? >> reporter: hey, craig. so president trump was the first republican presidential candidate to win this state since 1988. and he did it in large part thanks to working class counties in western pennsylvania, counties exactly like beaver county. it's not necessarily a county where trump may lose this coming election, but it's certainly an area we can look at. if biden is able to chip away at those margins that trump won with in 2016, it could be a game changer for the rest of the state. when you talk to people in this community, a lot of people will talk to you about the economy. it is a big issue for them, moving ahead and looking towards november. most people that you talk to here will also tell you there are kind of two economic stories in this coun

beaver county went to donald trump by 19 points in 2016.ut this is why we are doing this county to county project bought i have been following this place for almost a year now, and over the last several months, i have noticed a significant shift. after the death of george floyd, this majority-white conservative community, i saw folks coming out to rallies, to marches, to have tough conversations about race, and it has made some folks here pull back a little bit in their support of the president. now, a lot of the voters i talk to here say this decision from joe biden to pick not only a woman of color but a woman of color who does appeal to some moderate voters was a smart decision. i want to introduce you to two folks i met earlier this year and spoke with today. shaun owens, an activist here who has been engaging the community with these issues of race, and kristen, who voted for donald trump in 2016 but since the black lives matter movement is questioning her support for him. take a listen to how they view this decision from joe biden. >>

here in beaver county, he cleaned up.points, turning this county bright red and part of the reason we're following this county is to see whether that enthusiasm for donald trump from 2016 holds over to 2020. there was a lot of speculation over whether the pandemic might erode some of that support and i've been talking to voters throughout the crisis and that hasn't been the case, but something interesting did happen after the death of george floyd in this majority white county, people around this community participating in marches, in protests, in rallies, started having conversations about race that frankly they have never had before and i was at some of the events and i know voters that voted for donald trump in 2016 but started to back away from their support of him because of this issue of race. now, i want to introduce you to jack manning, he is the -- one of the county commissioners, he's a republican county commissioner but hasn't been thrilled with donald trump and he did tell me he thinks this decision on the par

and it became a viral hit so it was free it was in multiple languages and it was the story of the beaver and soon there's an episode one and there's an episode till you episode 2 is so relevant to what is happening right now around the world i'm going to hand over to phil kane and habib and he's a little accent stick a. going that. museum idea. and i know again the laser face mask i want and you and sunny. now that you know exclusive and i am a big chief come again obesity book like. me. will. have a dyno kids around the world all of that video they love the p.s.a. they get they nuff the fact the kids you mentioned tackling some freak issues let me go to the team i'm just wondering about the power storytelling and mental health we've kates how does it. add to it's funny that you're saying that the children you know feel empowered by watching that the premise of my book is also to empower children you know the doctors that come down they're super heroes that they're asking that children to be a part of their team and 10 power them to feel that they can you know fight this thing right this

so that kind of ‘leave it to beaver‘ view of the suburbs is no longer in existence.nd there is an increasing recognition amongst middle—class working women, suburban women and americans in general that there is a systemic problem with racism in america that is not going to go away and does need to be acknowledged and addressed. trump is trying to scare these voters, who have been a part of his base, that they need to support him or there will be black housing projects in the suburbs. he's quoting a part of the fair housing act completely out of context in saying this, but it's a game to play people off using kind of veiled language. it's not clear it is going to work. hillary clinton, i think, describes racism as the original sin of the us political system and one of those issues that has yet to be successfully confronted at any stage in us history. let me finally ask on this question, thomas kielinger, how much would be left of the republican party if donald trump loses? because it was very striking during the convention, we had a lot of trumps, a lot of speeches fr
