sustainable products have remained few and far between especially in electronics at the v t t technical research center of finland researchers decided to demonstrate how far the field has come with a set of biotech headphones unlike with plastic the materials in these were sourced not from fossil fuels but from living organisms. reducing our by reactors we can produce lots of different molecules polymers. platform kerry of course we can make for example scientific spider silk or by a plastic precursors or even by a ball of. the headphones prototype is made from 6 different biotech materials these include a bio plastic produced by yeast a leather substitute made from a fungus by a synthetic sun transmission element derived from that synthetic spider silk the researchers designed the headphones to raise awareness of greener production processes. we thought it was a great opportunity to combine differ materials no one had done it before actually to me know there's different microbes to into the development of electronic devices . of course the electrical components inside the headphones still have to be m

elon musk has proposed a very cool thing set up a design and research center in china for the post so we chat was a recruitment call of sorts asking for applications from designers and other staff by the 1st of february along with the post tesla included design drawings that could indicate what they're looking for in the near future now at this time it is unclear where this facility would be located and when it would be good again designing tesla vehicles last week while celebrating tesla's 1st public delivery event for model 3 vehicles made in china musk said the company will also design an electric car in china intended for a global market. pay $200000000.00 for north. and i start up that specializes in bringing intelligence to smart devices apple is now on an acquisition spree to make up for lost ground in a key technology area. runs machine learning on edge devices that those are smart appliances that operate beyond the reach of traditional cloud data centers that handle most of the processing now this has become an important aspect in ai as it allows the data to be kept on the de

it's very difficult for me to say without looking at the polling data i know the pew research center has done some work on this and shows that in fact in nigeria and even in kenya where we're broke obama's father was born in and don't forget the birth or issue that brought donald trump to prominence was essentially a racist argument back in 20152016 so i could see that there's certainly room appreciation of american power and american programs that africans would hope would continue under trump but i don't think they're terribly well informed donald trump has shown no interest in africa's never been here and has been very critical of africa but he does represent a government which has extensive relations across the continent and those have a lot of effect but i don't think anyone just that he's less popular than or he's popular than barack obama right i mean you brought up the point so what are 7 we to make of the fact that present donald trump has never visited the african continent he doesn't care much about africa he's never studied it he doesn't show any interest or knowledge of

that montage from the media research center does reflect with the attitude and atmosphere was in the clinton impeachment. most journalists thought a terrible idea, unfair, unreasonable, was being -- trying to kick him out of office for sex, nevermind the fact that he was accused of perjury and it was a pretty open and shut case and in the end even though it was a republican-controlled senate he was found not guilty, was acquitted. that looks to be the way we are headed here but everyone changed side, lindsey graham among the republicans decided we don't need witnesses, he wanted them back then. on the democratic side it is the same story. lots and lots of democrats who thought the clinton impeachment was unfair and unreasonable think this one is compelling and important so here we are, she on the other foot disease. shannon: i expected from lawmakers because regardless which party they are, your president is the one in power you think he is being justly attacked, i would expect them to advocate, interesting to see the media, we are supposed to be neutral and we work hard to do that.

today auschwitz birkenau is a memorial site museum research center the aim is to keep memories alive and aid efforts to fight anti semitism is in a phobia as mark erath reports. work search to free this cynical not. slogan looms about the entrance to the auschwitz memorial horrors were committed here now it has become an important tourist destination for visitors from all around the world over the past 10 years visitor numbers have doubled. more than $2000000.00 people now visit auschwitz every year and. it is heartbreaking to see how cool people can be it's it's very moving to be hard not to cry and we see on t.v. on for your. first time that you see the 1st time in person that's pretty reset itself is really important like a place is giving greet people kind of impression about what happened to people when true and so on but i think that we are paying too much attention to the buildings to the place itself to the general names and things like that and to small attention to what was really important so where it all came from. the memorial site is set to add a new exhibition very muc

at hospitals and research centers today, virology is a major and growing scientific discipline. in a laboratory attached to children's hospital in boston is one of the nation's most respected virologists, harvard scientist and nobel prize winner dr. john henders. in 1953, a few years after dr. enders' work paved the way for the polio vaccine, he and his team turned their attention to measles. the first objective, to find and to grow the measles virus. blood samples taken by dr. thomas peebles were incubated. the sickness like these in the incubator are checked for cells. obtaining only one successful growth of measles virus is one of the most difficult laboratory achievements. finally, in 1954, one culture obtained from an 11-year-old measles patient named david begins to show remarkable changes in cell structure. these might be caused by the measles virus. dr. enders is called in to observe it. to prove that it is the measles virus, they decide to inject it, as the doctor demonstrates here, into the only animal that will contract the disease, monkeys. monkeys which have never b

we are working with universities and also research centers. they ccome here every 3 3 months. thy come and check samples of milk. and now we are working with the allergy doctors in lactose intolerance. those one, they are responding g very positivevely. we haven't exported yet, but i will be very glad if i see my product on any supermarket on the shelf. that way i will know that i made it. [horn honks] man: from an early age, i was very interested in the deserts. during the teenage yeyears, i ud to spend a lot of time in northehern kenya. and then i end up doing 7 years' research on camel milk production. there's quite a long history with camels in the family. yeah, long may it last. the body of research is now beginning to show the benefits of drinking camel's milk. we've also done some work here in kenya looking at diabetics. although we couldn't prove it statistically, it was definitely an improvement in blood sugar r control. and tha's another thing with camel's milk, it has a very high vitamin "c" content. so for societies who don't normally eat fruit or vegetables, that'

let's bring in media research center vice president of business, and dan gainer. great to see you happy friday. i think to ignore a story that's going to effect americans lives certainly i think on a day-to-day basis more than impeachment will, it's in competence and it's negligence. willful journalistic negligence, what do you think? >> yeah, it's journalistic malpractice because you know they did it deliberately and they didn't just have him in the back seat. they threw the american public and the president under the bus. you know, they don't care about good economic news. we did this great study where we looked at all the media coverage of network news, from the impeachment on through just recently. so 100 days and of that they did nine total minutes less than 1% on economic news, because when they cover economic news, they have to make trump look good and they almost entirely refuse. david: gary? >> well, no. i guess i kind of agree with you dan and i kind of don't. you know better than any of us how the media works, and to be honest with you, does the trade i

just a stone's throw away from the research center in cologne is the d.l.r. institute for solar research should hear 2 scientists are researching regolith radiation protection professor and his team seek the most moon like conditions possible of us here in our own making and often what's available in abundance on the moon is moon dust and plenty of radiation from the sun we would need several meters of moon rock or moon dust as protection from radiation from the sun and other cosmic sources. and that's one of the things that we're researching this is i still think if you have a proof. the experiment is called regel light a word coined to combine regolith and light. of course it doesn't use real lunar regolith but it's simulant which has similar properties and will be centered to an entire brick using layered 3 d. printing. what we want to show is that we can really produce a 3 d. object whether x. y. or z. in a vacuum and this is the technology we're developing here because. there is a vacuum on the surface of the moon to simulate this made under a factory and

come out of the united states and i'd like to pull up to results from a new survey by the pew research center maybe we can pull those up and show our viewers in the studies called what americans know about the holocaust and here we see fewer than half of americans 43 percent know that adult hitler became chancellor of germany in a democratic political process so you've got half of americans who know the facts they are at a similar percentage here 45 percent know that approximately 6000000 jews were killed in the holocaust more than half of americans do not connect that number with the show what these statistics what did they tell you well i think that. it's a very complicated topic and if you would ask german students many of them would say yes 6000000 were killed and then they what's it for them in their minds is 6000000 germans so for many german students they have no sense for the european dimension of the shah and they don't see the relation of systematic mass murder of the jews in relation to other race series other groups many students don't know that's indian or my work kills and many

know it well it's well well this pew research center study now suggests the skepticism grows when divided on party lines with almost half the democrats under the age of 30 believing that other countries a better than their own at the same time 48 percent of young democrats believe that the u.s. is one of the greatest countries along with others but the 5 percent places above any other nation the us people in new york well they thought of american exceptionalism that. because we're a generation that's a pretty educated so we have a lot information resources that we will tap into to kind of come to these conclusions also we've experienced other countries more so than any other generation where they're traveling so we get to get a better sense of what the world has to offer it's pretty new compared to like you're a beige like so many cultures are like deep into the ground and like i think there's a lot to learn and it's developing there's just been a negative just negative narrative about the u.s. and its history and. without that the appreciation for what it actually is not like it was star

so pugh research center did a survey asking people questions about what are the major news sources and they asked them about for example, what do you think was president trump's motivation in withholding aid from ukraine. basically, people who are getting their news from conservative news sources say, oh, it was because he was worried about corruption in ukraine. but people are getting their news from other sources saying, no, it's because he's trying to gain a political benefit. right? this is one of the problems we face is that the public has become so divided these days that it's very hard to sort of -- an impeachment process that does what the framers we thought we were trying to do with impeachment. right? i'm worried about where we are as a nation in terms of our political polarization. >> larry, given that people are broken down by parity lines and it seems to be subjective what they think about this process, how does that impact how high the bar is for senators to be able to convict or not convict the president? >> if you're in a situation, up for re-election, this. t you a lot
