in developed countries like finland it's hard to imagine that we're in the thick of a global food crisis. these helsinki shelves are stacked to the hilt with a wide variety of tasty treats where salaam e. the was to true cost of all this choice to our increasing. the beleaguered planet reindeer spring roll. a global food system is incredibly wasteful use huge amounts of energy water and land to grow food and fly thousands of miles around the world only for much of it to remain in money it's an incredibly inefficient and imbalanced operation. of a post i don't know if my pronunciation is quite right but what i. call vocal state ok so you can have anything around to see if you can get some statistics about the amount of food that is wasted so if you imagine this pool of bread is total food produced in the world the last 10 percent during cultivation 70 percent is lost after the harvest 12 percent which is lost during processing or point of sale and i know their level percent is lost after it's been purchased by means in total over a 3rd of the food the jews worldwide is wasted just thrown

bit of fun shine the heat records are a growing concern that only out at the russian border with finland is one of the places that is facing an increased threat of wildfires because of the high temperatures and lack of rain climate experts are alarmed and many russians who are spending their vacation in the region are also worried like a lame volunteers like a mighty out. our own patrol to make sure that's no major fires break out. early morning emergency. there's a fire one of the many islands of lake the dog in northwestern russia. this team of volunteer force protectors is trying to get there as fast as possible. like. some taurus told us at 7 o'clock they told us that most had caught fire on the surface if. they can put it out themselves they asked us to come and take. the tourists meet the volunteers at the shore. small green fire appears harmless but it could quickly turn into a major fire and spread. that there's much it looks as if someone started to come fully ahead but didn't put it down properly. before the body seems the when the cars are spread and setting fire to the mosque

it's in the caribbean a region the borders finland it's a unique national park and it's a risk of being completely destroyed. this year many russians are spending their holidays at home because of the cold with going to condemn it every come far increases the danger of a major forest fire. which would you wish that were it would be great if everything worked perfectly here with you if there were enough forest to protect us and a functioning fine department here's the problem i don't know but i know then we would only have to help out in the bahamas i'd stand we doing all the work for the national park authorities movements and i know but. the following 2 years have been doing this work every summer for years and even paid for their own equipment helps by support from donors and sponsors. this year there are more fires than usual because it's been so hot and dry a clear sign of climate change. soon after coming back to the camp and the other measures he gets called in and stress levels rise again more money. and it turns out that it was a false alarm. they're used. with 3 out of 4 emerge

in a situation such as this where you have persistently high unemployment all around the world so finland also experimented with this own form u.b.i. for nearly 2 years as well and they concluded actually that while it while. to people being out of work feeling happy as it did not actually increase unemployment employment or productivity at all so there's also the argument that you are also inherently inflationary and in attempting to move all of the individuals out of poverty it just not it just simply raises the poverty line so this would be an interesting experiment to contain a monitor i just saw you close your eyes to shake your head give us your quick 45 seconds on you. u.b.s. you have. universal basic. right i was wondering is that it's a crock it never works this is the most the only place you have a chance to work was finland because they've got enough of their own natural resources that they could have made it work and they did give it a good shot but again it does not promote productivity and promotes nothing it provides. don't do enough and that's not what but building busines

women the right to vote, but it was also not particularly late before, in addition to new zealand finland was early in 1906 and then at the other end you have some countries which are surprisingly late so switzerland, for example, didn't give women the right to vote until 1971. >> what are some of the tactics that the women are using over the decades to get the 19th amended passed and ratified? >> so there are a myriad used, the most important mentioned is the use of really the exclusion segregation of african-american women from the suffrage movement and some those ignoring because that was an important tactic in terms of convincing congress to pass the 19th amendment. what it did mean is that when the 19th amendment came to pass it only enfranchised a portion of women, not all women. if you think about the 100 years, we have to think at, take a realistic look at what the 19th amendment did and didn't do. none of those tactics were really using racism as a tactic in terms of getting the right to vote. there were other tactics too, that were important. i think one of the interesting thing

chandrika thank you steven wright is a professor of aviation at finland's tom pro university he told me about the run by encounter where this happened. the runways they designed to eject under extreme conditions that's what making reference to. the short runway itself is going to be an added complication because. it's designed to take off and land under normal conditions but we know that the weather can be very intermittent incremental from time to time and we then have problems across coming and then my accent said land in really quite challenging conditions and if the weather is such that. dumps a large precipitation a lot of water on the runway itself if the aircraft trust landed not water then it just the way with the tires don't they don't stick to the runway and they at cross will continue to travel even though the pilots will be trying to press the brakes and so on and so forth and it's known as a runway explosion so this is a when the time sort of plane as it were it sounds like the sort of conditions in which people are going to ask well why didn't they abort they they the l

well steven wright is a professor of aviation at finland's temperate university he told d.w. more about the runway in karada where the accidents happened the runways they designed to paychecks. under extreme conditions that's what making reference to. the short runway itself is going to be united complication because. it's designed to take off and land on the normal conditions but we know that the weather can be very intermittent incremental from time to time and we then have problems across coming and then my attempt to land in really quite challenging conditions and if the weather is such that. dumps a lot of precipitation a lot of water on the runway itself if the aircraft trust landed not water then it just the way with the tires done it here they don't stay to the runway and they at cross will continue to travel even though the pilots will be trying to press brakes and so on and so forth. as aviation expert stephen wright speaking to you earlier moving on to lebanon where the united nations is warning of a humanitarian catastrophe in the country after the massive explosi

in addition to new zealand, finland was early in 1906. at the other end, you have some countries that are surprisingly late. switzerland for example did not give women the right to vote until 1971. >> what are some of the tactics that the women are using over the decades to get the 19th amendment passed and ratified? >> there are a myriad of tactics used. probably the most important to mention though is the use of the exclusion, segregation of african-american women from the suffrage movement and ignoring the aspect of american -- of african-americans women's rights to vote. that was important to convincing congress to pass the 19th amendment. but what it did mean was that when the 19th amendment to the past, it only enfranchised a portion of women. not all women. if we speak about the 100 years, we have to take a realistic look at what the 19th amendment did and did not do. one of the tactics was to use racism as a tactic in terms of getting the right to vote. there were other tactics also that were important. one of the interesting thin

finland was an early adopter of data driven health care. ai is becoming a key asset in providing treatment. his general hospital the largest to begin with is developing an algorithm to efficiently process patients. marcus less can in was an early advocate of such research. his unit deals with premature births that weigh less than one and a half kilos whose lives lie in the balance. for 30. years. we have collected data for several years x. we over the decades to monitor data heart rate rate oxygen said to raise some blood laboratory values we are trying to develop allegory terms that could detect the different the deceases. we have so far used sepsis. looking at us the immune systems of premature babies is very weak they are particularly at risk of contracting septicemia this infection can have serious repercussions on mental development and can lead to cognitive impairment. in 10 percent of cases they can even prove fatal in the beginning to compute the need to know whether the space and have the sepsis or not so basically we are telling t

below you've got finland, below that you've got estonia and latvia. the really big country on the southwestern part of that border between russia and the black sea is the large nation of ukraine. lots of news about ukraine in recent years. russia recently took part of that country. russia is currently occupying other parts of it. but on top of ukraine, between ukraine and the baltic states, is the large and still quite soviet country of belarus. belarus did become an independent country when the soviet union collapsed in 1991. they established a new form of government. they constituted themselves as the republic of belarus. they held an election for president of that republic for the first time in 1994. in that first election in 1994, they picked this guy, alexander lukashenko, to be their first ever president. again, they picked him in 1994. he is still there today. i say that belarus is kind of soviet because belarus is often described as europe's last dictatorship, and he is the dictator. but belarus is both effectively a dictatorship and also nomi

asleep in what -- i took a nap on the way home - >> seth: yeah. >> walking home through helsinki, finlandi got tired, and i was like, "i better take a power nap halfway through this city i've never been in at night." and i went into what i thought was a park >> seth: sure. >> so, of course, a great place for a nap at 3:00 a.m. went into a park, fell asleep, and then woke up what i thought was hours later, and saw that i was surrounded by tombstones, cemetery >> seth: yeah. >> and then i came -- when i finally came back and found you at the hotel and woke you up, i was like, "oh, my god, seth, i've been asleep in a graveyard for hours. i must've been in there, if not hours, maybe days even." and you were like, "colin, it's been 45 minutes. we saw you 45 minutes ago at a bar. there's no way it was hours. and that is my sense of time and then your brother, very lovingly, we were sharing a room, he very lovingly saw i was in a bad way, took all the pillows from his bed, sheets from his own bed, made me a beautiful makeshift bed next to his own bed for me to sleep on and rest and i, after he p

denmark, norway, finland committed to have zero relatively quickly. the u.s. primary inn which the candidates are competing with one another to be more ambitious on climate change. no pledge to reduce emissions in the history of climate change has ever been fulfilled. it is reasonable to be skeptical of some of these promises. i think it reflects in addition to the change in the political landscape the fact that there is a new economic conventional wisdom. it economists believe that was too expensive to be worth it. the impacts will be relatively small they said. we are better off growing however we could grow. almost every economist will tell you we are better off if we act faster rather than slower. we are just beginning to see policy change. emissions are setting records every year. the u.n. says we have 10 years to cut them in half. we are not just moving too slowly, we are moving in the wrong direction. their reasons for thinking that will change soon but it is clear we are not moving nearly fast enough, even given the unprecedented mobilization we have s

let's pick up that point about the runway with a professor of avaviation in finland. steven wright, welcome to dw. tell us about this runway.y. steven: well, the runway ha been desesigned to reject water undeder extreme conditions. that is what they are making reference to your. the short runway itself is going to be an added complication, because airports are designed to take off and land under normal conditions. but we know that the weather can be very intermittent, incremental from time to time. we then have problems where they may attempt to land in really quite challenging conditions. if the weather is such that it comes a large precipitation a lot of water on the runway itself, if the aircraft tries to land on the water, the wheels, the tires don't adhere. they don't stick to the runway. the aircraft will continue to travel, even though the pilots will be trying to press brakes and someone and so forth. it is known as a runway excursion. phil: this is when the sort of aquaplaning, as it were. it sounds like conditions where people are going to ask why didn't the

the wet lands of finland. or the under water caves in slovenia but office sounds ?s a bad sound. but he did, as a joke, now, no one is laughing. so far, more than a quarter million people have used it. some wear by it. >> it's a god send. >> james watson works with software and tests apps with calm office, he puts on his headphones and gets lost in the sounds of servers and droning electronics. >> the sound will put you in a different place. >> the professor believes it's a success for a different reason. we're all ready training to block out. >> their brain is used to that. >> until you find out you got milton from office space sitting next to you. free to use. find out more at kpix.com. that's it at 5:00. bideharris 2020.ins ken stida i thbay areary owsenar maof lo party's presidential ticket. reaction pouring in right now. >> as a black man, i am absolutely blown away that there is on that ticket a black woman for the vice presidency. >> good evening, i'm elizabeth cook. >> and i'm ken bastida. we begin with team coverage and joe biden's pick for vice president s

getting norway, finland to that zero to the quickly.nd the u.s., a democratic primary in which all of the candidates are competing with one another to become more ambitious on climate change. considering that no place in history of climate change has ever been fulfilled, it is reasonable to be skeptical of some of these empty promises. and yet, fact that governments are making them is a a real sign of some progress and i think it reflects, in addition to the changing politicalal landscape, the fact that there is a new economic conventional wisdom. the case that economists believe that action on climate change was too expensive to be worth it. the said the impact of votes of the small and we're better off just growing however we can. that has really changed and now almost every promise will tell you we would be better off if we back faster rather than slower. i think that's another reason we're just beginning to see policy change but as you know, emissions are setting records every year, we only have 10 years to have them cut in half, an

welfare did a recent study over the school should open and close those you said you've tried to reopen finland actually closed down i mean what were the findings what's that what what were the findings of that report in terms of whether it is a good idea to open or close schools during this pandemic because it is a hot topic not just in europe but in north america at the moment and in many parts of asia as we get towards september when the new school term in university terms open and start made i think every country has to speak for their own decisions being made or not made but in sweden we didn't find that necessary to close down the preschool in the primary school because we needed to have an open and which i don't find in the science so in the knowledge about the virus that the children and the very young persons will drive the infection. but we close down or we said that there yep a secondary school and the universities and the other learning schools and they were going online with distance courses because otherwise they will travel around so much in the in the commuter traffic so that's

let's pick up that point about the runway with a professor aviation at a temperature university in finland a steam writes that welcome to d w tell us more that about base app runway. well they the runways they designed to eject under extreme conditions that's what making reference to. the short runway itself is going to be an added complication because. it's designed to take off and land under normal conditions but we know that the weather can be very intermittent incremental photon's it's on and we then have problems across coming and then my accent so i land in really quite challenging conditions and if the weather is such that. dumps a lot of precipitation a lot of also on the runway itself if the aircraft trusts land it might water then it just the way with the tire as. it won't stick to the runway and the act cross will continue to travel even though the pilots will be trying to press brakes and so on and so forth and it's known as a runway explosion right so this is the when the time sort of plane as it were it sounds like the sort of conditions in which people are going to ask well

a story here in america i know year british via your family came from nigeria my family came from finland and ireland here max is from germany in scotland so everybody of course around the world has basically their families travel around the world but right now in america we have a situation post george floyd murder where. that has spread globally that there is this global insurrection against banker aka occupation max might say and i think that's right because i think yes there is institutional racism very much in america we have a long complicated history obviously with african descendants in america but in terms of what's happening here and how to how to get past this how to start with some sort of clean slate where we all can actually be equal on one playing field here in north carolina where max and i live we've just had a situation in this headline here in historic move asheville approves of reparations for black residents in an extraordinary move the city council has apologized for the city's historic role in slavery discrimination a denial of basic liberties to black residents and

relationship that you have with your neighbors right now the state of trust there your neighbors including finland norway and denmark are lifting travel restrictions in the region but for the most part they are excluding sweden due to its higher level of covert 1000 infections they have concerns they have voice them on record you traditionally have excellent communication and cooperation with your nordic neighbors so leaving sweden outbreaks with a long standing close cooperation you're the foreign minister what do you think about being isolated by your neighbors right now. well i'm so glad that we have such an excellent door that corporation like we manage to repatch reate 8600 swedes from all over the world with a very close a good nordic operation we have minister of foreign affairs meeting every week we had consular meetings with our consular diplomats every day and we had a very very close nordic operation managed to get everybody back home we are also of course keeping that cooperation now during the week and i had long talks with both my norwegian and my danish colleague and i also have con

you've seen denmark and finlande reopen schools without major spikes in covid-1n their populations. and so how do you think about and how shoulde think about as a as a country, a reopening and a retu to school, but then balancing that against what is a very real spike in cases across this country? >> well, i think you see the countries that are opening their schools have a declining epidemic. they have done sensible polici early on where people actually stayed home,t and so they a declining epidemic. then they're opening very slowly and carefully and safely. and i think what you need to do is to look at your epidemic and follow t science, but foow the measurements in your own county. this is local health commissioners have twork with governors and mayors to make wise deciss there will be places in the is slowly going down,he epidemic where it probably you can safely reopen the schools a keep measuring and watching. there are other places where esu're having a spike in c you have a spike in cases, a rising epidemic that'sising quickly and overrunning the health care system, that's no

denmark norway finland coming to net zero relatively quickly and in the u. s. a democratic primary in which a all of the candidates are competing with one another to be more ambitious on climate change. now considering that no pledge to reduce emissions in the history of climate change has ever been fulfilled. it's reasonable to be skeptical of some of f these sort of empty promises and yet the fact that the governments are making them. is i think a real sign of some progress. and i think it reflects in addition to the changing pololitical landscape. the fact that there is a new economic conventional wisdom it used to be the case the communist believe that action on climate change was. too expensive to be worth it they said the impacts are going to be relatively small and we're better off just growing however we can grow. but that's really changed over the last few years and now almost every economist would tell you will be better off if we act faster rather than slower. i think that's another reason why we're just beginning to see policy change. but as you

but of those eights of finland see that when you were recently on c.western countries are openly without hiding it raising funds and sending them to belarus but we cannot track all of the funds as much if it is in cash but we see it we know what's going on and we will focus on this issue. meanwhile it is out of the shuttle held another meeting with his that security council and he instructed it to strengthen the country's borders and that's in order to prevent minute sense and weapons from coming into the race according to the president and he also instructed the defense ministry to start tracking nato troops movements in inadequate and in poland as well. peter all over staying across the international and russian reaction to the story for us thank you both for those reports. were to address believes the refusal of location go to hold direct talks with the e.u. has effectively turned russia into a mediator i spoke with him earlier. because shango has actually asked to tell angela merkel that he has no appetites to talk with her is there any surprise th
