[00:00:00] from fire departments to public health
[00:00:04] institutes, and they put all other necessary
[00:00:08] services on standby that might eventually be needed
[00:00:11] in some scenarios in engagement, so
[00:00:14] I want to thank the Prefect of Koprivnica-Križevci
[00:00:18] County and the Prefect of Bjelovar-Bilogora County for their
[00:00:21] engagement and
[00:00:24] the engagement of all their services within those
[00:00:27] counties.
[00:00:38] A weather station on the roof of Five minutes past 10 o'clock, a report came from the 112 center
[00:00:41] to the public unit in Križevci, when all available
[00:00:44] firefighting forces were immediately raised, so here in the area of Sveti Ivan
[00:00:48] Žabno, the public unit of the city of Križevci, the public unit of
[00:00:51] the city of Bjelovar was called for help, but
[00:00:55] indeed a large number of firefighters arrived for the intervention, so it was not
[00:00:58] necessary, they remained on standby for the public. After that, the public
[00:01:02] unit of the city of Đurđevac with a vehicle for accident situations was engaged, and therefore
[00:01:06] with a very quick intervention in cooperation with our Božo
[00:01:09] Zrinjski, a big thank
[00:01:11] you to him. In cooperation with the police, emergency medical services,
[00:01:15] so the people who were here, it was very quick,
[00:01:18] all the
[00:01:21] people who were in the train were taken care of. So,
[00:01:25] a helicopter came and took away the most seriously injured. So,
[00:01:28] we saw it here too. "the entire system when
[00:01:32] it works well, it works from units of local self-government to the government and to
[00:01:36] all emergency services, they really showed a
[00:01:39] great, I would say, humanity, but also very high competence
[00:01:42] in their work, so here what the firefighters did,
[00:01:47] tanabaga campaigns for more of it was entering the train, extracting and taking care of
[00:01:50] with members of the emergency medical service into vehicles and
[00:01:53] transport, so we even did transport today, so with two
[00:01:57] vans to the general hospital Koprivnica.
[00:02:00] 51 firefighters, nine fire engines, a vehicle for
[00:02:04] Rayfeld is a accidents from the public unit of the city of Đurđevac,
[00:02:07] after another hour, part of
[00:02:10] the forces will be disbanded, two vehicles will remain on duty in
[00:02:14] case something does not happen, we preventively applied foam
[00:02:17] in front of two, two
[00:02:20] locomotives so that there would be no further sparking or God forbid something
[00:02:23] catches fire, so the firefighters did everything
[00:02:27] to prevent further fire and a thank you to... "a thank you
[00:02:30] to Zvonimir Habijan who led the intervention.
[00:02:34] Everything was really done very quickly, if I say that I left Koprivnica and
[00:02:38] more injured people here,
[00:02:41] it speaks volumes about how the police, ambulance and
[00:02:44] firefighters worked together. There was a fuel leak, so
[00:02:48] it was fuel that was in the locomotive tank, so it
[00:02:52] broke, there were 1400 liters,
[00:02:55] it was very quickly taken care of, transferred to containers
[00:02:58] and they will be during the day. So, these two containers
[00:03:01] were taken care of, do you know what was transported,
[00:03:04] nothing, nothing, it was
[00:03:08] empty fortunately, it was empty,
[00:03:11] ok, thank you very much,
[00:03:13] thank you, my dears,
[00:03:35] We present the German Vector vacuum cleaner with a water filter,
[00:03:39] hydrocarbons, but in powerful, efficient, ingeniously designed, it's the last
[00:03:43] vacuum cleaner you'll ever need to buy. Old-fashioned
[00:03:46] vacuum cleaners with clogged, dirty filters are breeding grounds for germs
[00:03:50] and bacteria and can seriously endanger the health of your
[00:03:53] family. The German Vector vacuum cleaner has
[00:03:56] modern technology that uses a new system of water
[00:04:00] filtration, Vector powerfully sucks up all dirt and
[00:04:03] dust and they remain in the water. Studies have shown
[00:04:07] that unhealthy, odious dust mites are present everywhere around us,
[00:04:11] especially in warm and damp places like mattresses,
[00:04:14] couches, carpets. They can cause allergies,
[00:04:17] especially in small children. The Vector vacuum cleaner is produced in
[00:04:21] Germany. The power of the Vector vacuum cleaner is in its powerful
[00:04:24] 1500 B turbo motor. Thomas has much
[00:04:27] greater suction power than ordinary vacuum cleaners,
[00:04:31] it thoroughly cleans floors, carpets, furniture, and even
[00:04:34] mattresses from dust mites. Every mother should have
[00:04:37] a Thomas, it's excellent. Thomas is ideal for
[00:04:41] allergy sufferers, asthmatics and smokers, because it cleans
[00:04:44] the air in your apartment. Vector vacuums what you can't even
[00:04:48] imagine with other vacuum cleaners. Look at this:
[00:04:51] spilled coffee, spilled juice, everything goes straight into
[00:04:56] organic catalyst is mixed with water in the tank. Vector easily vacuums food leftovers from your
[00:04:58] baby. Every parent wants to have this in their family. We have problems
[00:05:02] with allergies and it is very important to me that our house
[00:05:06] is clean, especially the floors and couches where we spend
[00:05:09] our free time. Every family with children should
[00:05:13] get this vacuum cleaner, the price is very favorable
[00:05:16] considering what Thomas offers. If you call
[00:05:19] now, you will get an extra discount and the Vector vacuum cleaner will be
[00:05:23] yours at an incredible price that you see on the screen.
[00:05:27] You get accessories completely free. Order today
[00:05:30] Vector, the last vacuum cleaner you'll ever need to
[00:05:33] buy.
[00:05:56] There are still too few women working in science, less than
[00:05:59] 30% of research is female. Men have it
[00:06:03] easier building careers, women still have to overcome many more
[00:06:06] challenges, but there are role models a
[00:06:08] plenty.
[00:06:11] Welcome to tomorrow today, the science show on DW, this
[00:06:15] time with focus on women in
[00:06:17] research.
[00:06:22] Mika Udalar is finding out how our genes work. To do so,
[00:06:26] she and her team study human
[00:06:27] DNA.
[00:06:30] We're investigating the 3D structure of the DNA in our cells
[00:06:34] and how it influences the activity of our
[00:06:36] genes. The work could help us better
[00:06:40] understand diseases like cancer.
[00:08:12] colleagues science is very vast um
[00:08:16] area to explore and i'm very
[00:08:19] lucky to find a position in the max plank society to do my
[00:08:23] research where i'm supported by my
[00:08:26] pide guess however in the top jobs women are
[00:08:30] still scares they hold only around a third of the professorships
[00:08:34] in germany at least some universities though are doing
[00:08:38] what they can even the
[00:08:39] odds gerade besetzen
[00:09:21] is doing now with the work that might one day put her in the running for a
[00:09:24] leadership position herself.
[00:09:28] For women competing for positions in scientific fields still dominated
[00:09:32] by men, planning is half the battle. It's important to
[00:09:36] know what drives you and your research goals.
[00:09:40] Just like the next scientist on the show. She's an expert
[00:09:43] on special biotopes that play a vital role in climate
[00:09:47] protection.
[00:09:50] Peatland's bogs and fens are shrouded in
[00:09:53] mystery and legend, few know as much about the unique
[00:09:57] habitats as leading German expert francisca
[00:10:00] Taneberger. Fins are
[00:10:04] ecosystems that developed in places that have water in excess
[00:10:08] like
[00:10:08] here.
[00:10:55] the leaves top are green, of course, and the roots down below
[00:10:58] are these white and brown things you see, that's where it's already
[00:11:02] transitioning into peet. that's the special thing that happens in
[00:11:05] peetlands: the roots don't decompose completely, more
[00:11:08] is created than is broken down again.
[00:11:12] peet that builds up over thousands of years forms
[00:11:16] very special ecosystems and protecting them is about
[00:11:19] more than just everyday
[00:11:22] conservation.
[00:11:25] challenges like the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis, to name
[00:11:29] just two, and at some point we realized that although
[00:11:32] peatlens can't save the world and solve every problem,
[00:11:36] lot really does come together there.
[00:11:39] although peetlands cover just 4% of all land
[00:11:43] globally, they play a key role ecosystems,
[00:11:46] they trap more carbon than all the world's forests
[00:11:49] combined, providing a habitat for rare plants
[00:11:53] and animals and Germany, 95% of
[00:11:57] all bogs and fens have been drained, the source of
[00:12:00] 7% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions. If
[00:12:03] drained peetlands were rewedded, they could begin storing
[00:12:07] carbon again instead of emitting it, which is why Francisca
[00:12:12] them to be restored in Germany. But what
[00:12:15] about the farmers who currently make their livelihood from land that
[00:12:19] was once a
[00:12:20] bog?
[00:13:55] protection is a really big issue, but it also means downsides for
[00:13:58] us, no question, the land isn't quite as attractive
[00:14:02] economically as it used to
[00:14:03] be,
[00:14:06] the farmer receives some subsidies for conservation
[00:14:09] efforts, but they aren't enough to make up for inferior
[00:14:12] harvest or the risks.
[00:14:16] also wants policy makers to get more involved in peetland
[00:14:19] protection and pushes for more state support, the
[00:14:23] researcher shuttles constantly.
[00:15:25] is involved, also I think it's very important to talk about time
[00:15:28] frames, not everyone has implement climate protection
[00:15:32] 100% tomorrow, but we all have to work together to
[00:15:36] get there. Weg begeben, dass wir dorthinkommen.
[00:15:40] Francisca Tanaberger, one of Germany's top experts on
[00:15:43] bogs, fins and peatlands, who also knows
[00:15:47] how to convince people, they're worth
[00:15:49] protecting.
[00:15:53] It's a natural process that removes carbon dioxide from the
[00:15:56] atmosphere, often for many years, slowing down climate
[00:16:00] change and global warming. Photosynthesis evolved in
[00:16:03] plants, but there are even more efficient ways to bind the carbon and CO2.
[00:16:08] Climatologist Kier Rayfelt and her team are exploring the
[00:16:11] options.
[00:16:16] the Geo and Environmental Center in the German city of
[00:16:19] Tubingan. Here, the team led by Kira Reyfeld
[00:16:23] and Mattheus Mai wants to conduct artificial
[00:16:26] photosynthesis. In other words, to use solar energy
[00:16:29] to convert gasious CO2 into other products.
[00:16:33] Some artificial photosynthesis processes are already 10 times more.
[00:17:37] project brings together scientists from range of disciplines. Kira
[00:17:42] climatologist, while Mattheus Mai works in the field of
[00:17:45] physical chemistry. In this experimental setup,
[00:17:49] carbon dioxide is blown into an electrolyte
[00:17:52] solution. The shiny silver dome serves as a
[00:17:55] catalyst. When electrified, it can turn
[00:17:58] CO2 molecules into flakes of
[00:18:00] carbon. Auf dieser Oberfläche
[00:18:04] passiert etwas.
[00:18:38] graphite, like what's found in pencil led. It's
[00:18:41] non-toxic, flame resistant, and can be stored without
[00:18:44] any special precautions.
[00:18:47] The catalyst determines what end products are produced, carbon
[00:18:51] flakes are just one option. The technology
[00:18:54] might still be in its infancy, but removing CO2 from the
[00:18:57] atmosphere is already being factored in to
[00:19:00] calculations involving climate targets. Im
[00:19:04] idealfall würden wir diese Technologie nicht brauchen. need this
[00:19:08] technology, that has to be said,
[00:19:11] ideally humanity would realize today that we need to
[00:19:14] stop burning a less than ideal
[00:19:18] scenario we need this technology as backstop
[00:19:21] option to get ourselves out of this
[00:19:23] dilemma,
[00:19:26] that we've been releasing CO2 for too long and have relied on
[00:19:29] combustion engines and fossil fuels for too long, and
[00:19:33] if we need this backstop, we may need it a lot.
[00:19:45] CO2 emissions completely in the next few years, even though
[00:19:49] that's what would actually be necessary to achieve climate targets and
[00:19:53] limit global warming to 2 degrees celsius.
[00:19:56] Researchers compare the CO2 we're continuing to
[00:19:59] emit to an overdraft on your bank account, but this
[00:20:03] overdraft is one we're taking out with the environment.
[00:20:37] Team is hoping for more funding so that it can work with more
[00:20:40] researchers to find solutions to what is currently
[00:20:43] humanity's greatest problem.
[00:20:47] Ich möchte in 10 Jahren dann hier stehen. I want to be
[00:20:50] standing here and showing you mountains of carbon we've extracted from the
[00:20:54] atmosphere, better yet, in five
[00:20:56] years. In winter in Europe, when there are no
[00:21:00] leaves on the trees, there's little natural photosynthesis going
[00:21:04] on, but artificial photosynthesis could use every
[00:21:07] precious hour of sunshine in winter to continue removing
[00:21:11] CO2 from the atmosphere. Even then,
[00:21:13] however, it will play a secondary role. Negative emissions
[00:21:17] technologies can never replace climate protection.
[00:22:20] Coming up with a quick fix for the world's problems, that's not how the
[00:22:24] chemist next up on the show thinks. She
[00:22:28] also works with catalysts, ones that have evolved
[00:22:30] nature, in plants that sometimes have
[00:22:34] fascinating, exotic
[00:22:35] names.
[00:22:40] It may look and sound like a weed, but Japanese
[00:22:44] notweed, phalopia japonica can actually be a useful
[00:22:47] plant. Harvested by hand to prevent damage,
[00:22:51] it grows almost everywhere along this tributary of the river Rone in southern
[00:22:54] France.
[00:22:56] Chemist Cloud Grisson discovered it here. Left unchecked,
[00:23:00] this invasive species is extremely
[00:23:03] harmful.
[00:23:05] It grows three to four times faster than the other plants, so it
[00:23:09] suffocates biodiversity in this area, which has an exceptional array
[00:23:13] of plants. So it's a real catastrophe from ecological point of
[00:23:16] view, but also from economic point of view. because
[00:23:20] it chokes this tributary that should be regulating excess water from the
[00:23:23] run.
[00:23:26] One possibility would be to try and clear out the
[00:23:28] plants, but Claude Crison found a way to put them to
[00:23:32] good use. She developed a unique process to acquire natural
[00:23:36] catalysts. These are widely used in drug research and
[00:23:39] cosmetics production because they're highly efficient at speeding up
[00:23:42] complex chemical reactions to create new
[00:23:45] molecules.
[00:23:47] The plant has a unique physiology. molecules that poison its
[00:23:51] neighbors.
[00:23:55] has long been fascinated by the incredible abilities of
[00:23:58] plants. more than 10 years ago she worked with a group of
[00:24:01] students researching the unique properties of indigenous species in
[00:24:05] new caledonia, a french overseas territory in the
[00:24:08] pacific.
[00:24:11] in New Caledonia i discovered some exceptional plant species that
[00:24:15] tolerate pollution so to speak.
[00:24:18] better still, they can actually... extract metals from their surroundings
[00:24:22] and store them in their leaves, with
[00:24:25] these plants, it's possible to regenerate soil that's been completely
[00:24:29] degraded by the presence of metals.
[00:24:32] here in France, has been focusing on invasive
[00:24:35] plants. some species can purify polluted
[00:24:38] water, others like Japanese knotweed are now being
[00:24:42] processed in the lab for use industrial
[00:24:44] applications.
[00:24:47] the compagnie nationale dang is in charge of managing land along the
[00:24:51] river and controlling invasive species here. Together
[00:24:54] with scientists, they harvest the plants across several administrative
[00:24:58] areas.
[00:25:00] We're looking to develop pest control techniques that can be used a large or
[00:25:04] small scale and on different plants. The
[00:25:07] benefit is that we're promoting a type of chemistry that is green and
[00:25:10] sustainable. It's a kind of circular economy that
[00:25:13] integrates.
[00:25:18] qui permet d'intégrer plusieurs espèces. Today the team has only managed to clear a few hundred
[00:25:22] meters of land. The plants are taken to a warehouse where
[00:25:26] they're dried for at least 3 days or longer in wet
[00:25:28] weather. Then they're shredded and sent to the
[00:25:32] laboratory.
[00:25:34] Here the plant material is placed in the oven to dry for few
[00:25:37] hours. Only then is it ready for the
[00:25:41] chemical process in the lab. The resulting
[00:25:46] a few natural additives to create final product that's indispensable.
[00:25:50] in cosmetics, for example, grieson's product is entirely
[00:25:53] natural, a clean alternative for industry looking to
[00:25:57] shift away from harmful petroleum substances in personal care
[00:26:01] products.
[00:26:32] France are so groundbreaking, she received the European Inventor award in
[00:26:36] 2022. The
[00:26:37] winner
[00:26:40] isl,
[00:26:49] yes, Claude Crizon has already founded two companies, proof that her
[00:26:53] organic catalysts are in high
[00:26:54] demand.
[00:26:58] Our last report introduces young archaeologist who still... the
[00:27:02] early days of her career. She's drawn to
[00:27:05] the mummies left behind by the ancient Egyptians, as well as
[00:27:09] the techniques they used to embam the bodies of their
[00:27:12] departed.
[00:27:14] It's a field that involves working with materials that most people would
[00:27:18] find at least a little
[00:27:19] creepy.
[00:27:24] Archaeologist Pier Krushevski is currently taking
[00:27:27] 30 samples of human skin out of the incubator
[00:27:30] practically every day here. at the University of Munich,
[00:27:34] she's drying, washing and embalming them, according to a
[00:27:38] process the ancient Egyptians probably once
[00:27:41] performed a large scale. we
[00:27:44] actually know relatively little about the details of how things were
[00:27:48] done there. we now want to know what happened when and for how
[00:27:51] long. we're also learning more about how the
[00:27:55] embalming substances behave
[00:27:56] and
[00:27:59] mischen. together with mommy researcher. nalish
[00:28:03] she's looking for the still mysterious recipe used by
[00:28:06] embombers in ancient Egypt. For over a month
[00:28:10] now, the young archaeologist has been drying out donated
[00:28:13] skin samples with baking soda and they're now
[00:28:16] documenting appearance, smell and weight, and
[00:28:20] taking small snippets to analyze the tissue, DNA and
[00:28:24] proteins. Not an easy
[00:28:26] tasks,
[00:28:30] so weit ausgedrocknet.
[00:29:32] discovered an underground embalming workshop in Sakara near
[00:29:36] Cairo, in it were ancient jars that contained
[00:29:40] oil and ointment, lab analysis determined what
[00:29:44] they held.
[00:29:46] It was a real breakthrough because it was archaeological evidence of what
[00:29:50] substances were used, until then we only knew a little
[00:29:54] from what Heroditus and Diodora Ciculus
[00:29:57] described.
[00:30:00] With the information provided by those. Ancient historians
[00:30:03] nearly tried to recreate the mummification process over
[00:30:07] 10 years ago a pig, but there was a
[00:30:10] major problem. Authors such as Heroditus and Diodorus were
[00:30:13] writing centuries after the fact, and their instructions were
[00:30:17] inaccurate. The current experiments are based
[00:30:21] a much better starting point. The scientists are
[00:30:24] trying out the original ingredients on several test
[00:30:27] samples at the same time, and they can
[00:30:30] compare the results they obtain. with the real
[00:30:33] thing,
[00:30:36] since we're testing this on human skin, we're much closer
[00:30:40] to the original to a mummy, an Egyptian
[00:30:42] mummy.
[00:30:45] the young archaeologist and the mummy researcher hoped to
[00:30:48] soon have the first results from their experiments,
[00:30:52] but for now embalming is still on the daily
[00:30:56] agenda.
