[00:00:45] emissions, a The triumph of the AfD: how Germany
[00:00:48] will change, the Black Sea, the Russian-Ukrainian
[00:00:52] war against food, Nepali guest workers, what
[00:00:56] Sherpas do in Norway.
[00:01:10] Greetings: the triumphant victory
[00:01:13] game, does that change our view of of the AfD in the state elections
[00:01:14] vessel, depends of in Saxony-Anhalt is a turning point for
[00:01:16] Germany, although it is one of the smallest federal
[00:01:19] states, the consequences of the elections are felt throughout
[00:01:23] the country. How do citizens react to the dominance
[00:01:26] of a party that is declared right-wing extremist in Saxony
[00:01:30] Anhalt and how the victory
[00:01:33] of the AfD changes their
[00:01:35] lives.
[00:01:37] Saxony-Anhalt, once part of communist East
[00:01:40] Germany. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, people
[00:01:44] massively emigrated from this province, especially young
[00:01:48] and better educated people. But a few years ago, the trend
[00:01:51] changed, more people are moving in again,
[00:01:54] looking for the benefits of life in smaller towns, affordable
[00:01:58] rents, and businesses they can
[00:02:01] develop. But is Saxony-Anhalt really a place for
[00:02:04] a permanent life? If the Alternative for Germany, which is
[00:02:08] considered extremist in this federal state, manages to take
[00:02:12] power, many will ask themselves if it wouldn't be better to
[00:02:15] go back. I know of people who
[00:02:19] then really want to move away. Ultimately, that is actually the
[00:02:23] breaking point.
[00:02:26] When Anja Reismann walks through town, someone always
[00:02:30] knows her. In this town, she knows almost
[00:02:32] everyone.
[00:02:35] Anja was born here, but she left very young. At that
[00:02:39] time, the place seemed small, boring to her. She lived
[00:02:42] in the Czech Republic and France, then near
[00:02:45] wanted to create like a virtual Munich.
[00:02:54] It feels like there are more people who want to do things, more young people. There's
[00:02:58] usually something going on almost every weekend.
[00:03:01] And Anja wanted to give back to the community. She founded an
[00:03:04] organization that brings people together. Every Monday
[00:03:08] afternoon, there's coffee, cakes, and fruit, and everyone
[00:03:11] is welcome.
[00:03:17] arise, so an older gentleman
[00:03:21] recently next to Asada from Afghanistan and then they
[00:03:24] found out, oh, we live on the same street, we are neighbors and
[00:03:29] encounter other characters and interact yes, she needed someone to help the children with their homework,
[00:03:32] he needed someone to help her with shopping and so they became
[00:03:36] friends, well, and those are such small
[00:03:37] things,
[00:03:41] i'm a cultural historian and most of but those little joys are now threatened. The Alternative for
[00:03:44] Germany won convincingly in the state elections and
[00:03:48] almost achieved an absolute majority. If it came to power,
[00:03:51] it would be the first time in post-war Germany that a
[00:03:55] right-wing extremist party would be at the head of a state. Anja
[00:03:59] Reismann and Tomas'.
[00:04:11] invested engagement in the city, in the town, in the country,
[00:04:14] and that really makes me angry. I know
[00:04:18] of people who then really
[00:04:21] want to move away, yes, so they clearly say, okay,
[00:04:24] if, if it's an AfD for the
[00:04:27] federal state, then I don't want to live here. There
[00:04:30] are people, especially from the migrant
[00:04:33] community, who see a
[00:04:38] what also they found in term of professional perspective here, perhaps also have a job offer,
[00:04:40] who are seriously considering, should I come to Saxony-Anhalt? And one
[00:04:44] scientific study shows that the shift to the right frightens
[00:04:48] skilled workers. Tomas and
[00:04:50] Anja certainly remain in Zeitz, although dissatisfied
[00:04:54] with the shift to the right, they notice that people are closing ranks.
[00:04:58] Those who were engaged in the community are now trying even harder to
[00:05:02] make Zeitz
[00:05:04] and showing us how we can make a an even better place.
[00:05:06] The Black Sea has become the front line in the war between
[00:05:10] Russia and Ukraine, a battleground where
[00:05:13] food is suffering, especially for the poorer
[00:05:16] regions of the world. The Black Sea
[00:05:20] route for grain transport from Ukrainian and Russian
[00:05:23] fields is being burdened by warring parties who deliberately
[00:05:26] attack ships with grain. Damaged
[00:05:29] vessels end up in Turkey, where a new
[00:05:33] business has flourished. At the
[00:05:35] Istanbul shipyard, there is a new, growing
[00:05:39] business, the repair of cargo ships damaged by
[00:05:42] Russian or Ukrainian forces. This grain carrier was the last
[00:05:46] target, one of several
[00:05:49] hundred ships hit in the Black Sea in recent
[00:05:52] months. Assistant Manager Omer Butun
[00:05:56] says the extent of the damage shows that the ship was attacked
[00:05:59] with the aim of killing the crew.
[00:06:12] no transportation means no earnings for the
[00:06:16] country, this is a big repair works
[00:06:20] and it's difficult for ship owners to repair the
[00:06:23] vessel or maybe scrap the
[00:06:27] the situation.
[00:06:29] Butun is already preparing to welcome the next damaged
[00:06:32] ship. On another part of the pier,
[00:06:36] a ship is setting sail. Captain Anar is making
[00:06:40] final checks.
[00:06:43] He often sails the Black Sea, but admits he is now
[00:06:46] afraid.
[00:06:52] Due to these events, it is very risky for seafarers.
[00:06:55] Who would risk their own life?
[00:06:58] How can I knowingly
[00:06:59] put myself at
[00:07:03] risk? In recent months, Ukraine and Russia have intensified
[00:07:05] attacks on cargo ships, targeting
[00:07:09] the very important grain exports. The Turkish
[00:07:12] Chamber of Shipping estimates that this year more than 160
[00:07:15] ships have been targeted, while about a hundred
[00:07:18] ships are currently seeking safety in Black Sea
[00:07:22] ports. Russia and Ukraine together account for more
[00:07:25] than a quarter of the world's wheat exports, a good portion of which goes
[00:07:29] to ports on the Black and Azov Seas.
[00:07:33] Ruthless attacks on ships and ports have almost completely
[00:07:36] paralyzed this trade route.
[00:07:39] While Moscow and Kyiv are trying to find alternative routes,
[00:07:44] international grain broker John
[00:07:47] Atpasoglu notes that prices are
[00:07:50] rising. highs on
[00:08:04] Highs on
[00:08:06] Friday.
[00:08:12] but it we can say it increased like
[00:08:16] almost 30% or 35% in the EU
[00:08:19] prices, but there is totally room for further
[00:08:22] increase. eventually it means more expensive wheat, more
[00:08:25] expensive flour and more expensive bread, so
[00:08:29] if we think about the big picture, it can mean inflation
[00:08:32] in the end. this is where uh governments
[00:08:35] of. Neither Ukraine nor
[00:08:38] Russia shows any sign of ending at least this fight over
[00:08:43] grain, on which the countries of the Middle East and Africa, some of
[00:08:47] the poorest in the world, depend. Thus,
[00:08:49] the price of the conflict is paid by those who absolutely cannot afford
[00:08:53] it.
[00:08:55] They are masters of their craft, they come from the roof of the world, from
[00:08:59] the Himalayas, and in Norway they build stairs to
[00:09:03] heaven. Well, towards heaven, not quite to
[00:09:07] heaven. They are the famous Sherpas, Nepali
[00:09:10] stonemasons, widely known for their skill in building stone
[00:09:13] staircases. But how did they end up in
[00:09:17] Scandinavia?
[00:09:20] Nima Sherpa is nearly 6,000 km from
[00:09:24] his home in Nepal. Every
[00:09:27] year, he travels to Norway with a team of other
[00:09:29] Sherpas. Together, they hand-build stone steps on
[00:09:33] some of Norway's most famous hiking
[00:09:35] trails.
[00:09:48] For almost 20 years, Sherpas, an indigenous people from
[00:09:51] the Himalayas, have been hand-building these Sherpa
[00:09:54] steps or Sherpa trails, as Norwegians
[00:09:57] call them.
[00:10:00] Today, these staircases to heaven have themselves become an attraction,
[00:10:03] bringing mountains closer to hikers of all ages and
[00:10:06] abilities.
[00:10:10] So far, they have completed more than 200 staircases, from
[00:10:14] 10 to more than 4,000
[00:10:16] steps.
[00:10:21] How did Sherpas from Nepal end up building stone stairs
[00:10:25] in Norway?
[00:10:28] More than 20 years ago, carpenter Gehirveti
[00:10:32] was working on renovating a mountain farm, but the terrain was
[00:10:35] too steep for machinery, and the job too demanding for most
[00:10:39] workers. I could see that no one was strong
[00:10:42] enough, they were collapsing more or less
[00:10:46] after one or two days and was not able to help anymore, work
[00:10:49] anymore. So then
[00:10:53] one night I...
[00:11:00] Veti established contact with a Sherpa who worked on Everest
[00:11:04] expeditions. It was Nimin's
[00:11:06] father.
[00:11:15] Veti's dream came true, the Sherpas were skilled and capable
[00:11:19] of enduring hard physical
[00:11:20] labor.
[00:12:00] For Nima and his team, building these trails is more than just work,
[00:12:04] it is also a spiritual act.
[00:12:08] As Buddhists, above the stone paths they build, they place
[00:12:11] prayer flags, believing that the wind carries
[00:12:14] blessings and good wishes across the mountains.
[00:12:18] Bulgaria will be the center of the music world in a few months,
[00:12:22] with a victory at this year's Eurovision, the first in its
[00:12:26] history, Bulgaria automatically became the host of the next
[00:12:29] edition of the popular competition, specifically
[00:12:32] the city of Burgas, not Sofia, not Plovdiv, but
[00:12:36] Burgas, a tourist destination on the Black Sea coast,
[00:12:40] which faces an influx of fans of easy listening
[00:12:44] music. Is Burgas even ready for all
[00:12:46] this? After Dara won Eurovision this year
[00:12:50] with her song Bangaranga, the song
[00:12:54] contest for Vision 2027
[00:12:57] comes to Bulgaria, for the first time in history. The world's largest
[00:13:01] music competition will not be held in the capital
[00:13:04] Sofia, but in Burgas on the Black Sea coast. The fact that
[00:13:08] the city managed to win in competition with Sofia, Plovdiv
[00:13:11] and Varna, surprised many Bulgarians, but also residents of
[00:13:15] Burgas.
[00:13:19] For sure, Burgas will win. We have the sea, the airport is relatively
[00:13:22] close, a very nice hall.
[00:13:33] can bring significant economic benefits to host
[00:13:36] cities. Vienna, for example, in
[00:13:39] 2026, hosted about
[00:13:41] 320,000 people at events related to
[00:13:45] Eurovision. A similar number of visitors could arrive
[00:13:49] in Burgas via the city's international airport. But
[00:13:52] once visitors arrive in Burgas, the situation becomes
[00:13:56] more complex. The city has neither a subway
[00:14:00] nor trams, most additional passengers will therefore
[00:14:04] have to be transported by buses.
[00:14:06] Currently, city buses transport up to
[00:14:10] 72,000 passengers daily.
[00:14:13] The mayor of Burgas, Dimitar Nikolov, says that
[00:14:16] preparations for the additional influx of visitors are already
[00:14:19] underway. An open European city,
[00:14:23] a marine center.
[00:14:25] We have had the opportunity for many years to welcome
[00:14:28] nationalities, ethnicities and all kinds of people from all over the world,
[00:14:32] so with additional strengthening of transport
[00:14:35] logistics, even better connectivity between all
[00:14:38] settlements around Burgas, I
[00:15:57] more than 3 billion people regularly play digital
[00:16:00] games, including me, whether you are into strategy or
[00:16:04] action or realistic simulations, gamers...
[00:16:07] spoiled for choice, usually the aim is to get new high score, of
[00:16:11] course, but increasingly education, political
[00:16:14] issues and community empowerment have become a part of
[00:16:17] gaming too, but can you actually learn something while
[00:16:21] gaming?
[00:16:26] the Italian renaissance, vikings sailing the high seas,
[00:16:30] samurai in medieval japan. history games let us
[00:16:33] relive the past like it's an adventure. they are a mix
[00:16:36] of impressive love for detail and artistic
[00:16:40] freedom, like the Assassin's Creed series, which sold over
[00:16:43] 230 million copies, but what happens
[00:16:47] when history turns into a
[00:16:50] the past? this is our chance to break out of Normandy, the battle of
[00:16:54] Normandy in Call of Duty, won't be
[00:16:56] easy, it feels authentic, but is it, and does it
[00:17:00] even have to be? so on
[00:17:03] the one hand, I don't think that games about history need
[00:17:06] to be... accurate: first of all, you play them for having fun,
[00:17:10] but on the other hand, the producers of digital games, they
[00:17:13] advertise it lot that they are so correct, they are so
[00:17:16] authentic, and and they do this by using something we call
[00:17:20] like photorealistic uh accuracy. in
[00:17:24] games like Assassin's Creed, players can explore ancient
[00:17:27] Egypt or Paris during the French Revolution, they can walk through
[00:17:31] virtual cities that almost seem real. in Call of Duty and
[00:17:35] Battlefield, players use detailed. and fight in
[00:17:38] locations where famous battles took place, that realism makes the
[00:17:42] games feel true even when the story
[00:17:44] isn't. if you play a
[00:17:47] game about the let's say the first world war, your
[00:17:50] authentic experience would be like sitting in the uh
[00:17:54] trench for several weeks, your foot is rotting
[00:17:57] away and then you put your head out of the trench, you get shot in the head and the game is
[00:18:01] over, so that that wouldn't be fun. balancing entertainment and
[00:18:05] historical accuracy is a challenge. games set in World War
[00:18:08] II often focus on combat, but the complex and
[00:18:11] painful reality of those times away from the Battlefields often
[00:18:15] gets neglected.
[00:18:19] It's hard to think about um how you could uh
[00:18:22] play the holocast um because normally playing we
[00:18:26] see playing something for for doing it for fun,
[00:18:29] but this led to the problem that the developers
[00:18:33] didn't mention the holocaust at all. Some independent
[00:18:36] game studio. have proven that even the bleakest chapters of history
[00:18:40] can become part of a game, and through the darkest of times, players lead
[00:18:44] fictional resistance group in Nazi era, Berlin, making
[00:18:48] hard choices to
[00:18:49] survive.
[00:18:52] We had to do something.
[00:18:55] Attentat 1942, developed by award-winning Czech game
[00:18:58] developers, focuses on Nazi occupation and
[00:19:01] persecution, and is mix of interactive storytelling and
[00:19:05] historically accurate events.
[00:19:10] like other media formats, digital games have become part of how
[00:19:14] we remember.
[00:19:19] the things i know about us history, i know from a
[00:19:22] TV series, the simpsons, we know that
[00:19:25] popular media help learning and and and and can foster
[00:19:29] learning, and what digital games, what digital games can do,
[00:19:33] they can be a door open, no matter how
[00:19:36] accurate these games are they will always leave a mark, after
[00:19:39] all, it feels like we're right in the middle of history, and that also has
[00:19:43] an impact on our brains. the experiences we have while
[00:19:47] gaming and the information we process tend to stick with us
[00:19:50] for longer. neuroscientist
[00:19:53] explains what exactly happens in our brains. what we
[00:19:57] know so far about the gaming that it
[00:20:01] improve the cognitive battery, so it's
[00:20:04] actually improve the working and memory of people.
[00:20:07] improve their performance in a different
[00:20:11] kind of cognitive task.
[00:20:16] the brain activity or the brain
[00:20:19] imaging is that there is better
[00:20:22] functional connectivity between the frontal area and the
[00:20:26] barrital area on the brain. if our brains
[00:20:29] switch up gear while we're gaming why not use that brain
[00:20:32] activity for something good like changing the world for the
[00:20:35] better. some games do so by taking on current issues
[00:20:41] difference.
[00:20:43] batting natural disasters and cutting emissions to help save a
[00:20:47] planet under pressure. climate games help raise
[00:20:50] awareness about the consequences of climate change. the
[00:20:54] crisis has become a major theme in the gaming
[00:20:56] industry.
[00:20:59] there are already several hundred titles addressing climate
[00:21:02] change from quizes to complex strategy
[00:21:07] them is imagine earth, a survival game where players build a
[00:21:11] sustainable civilization while managing environmental
[00:21:14] risks.
[00:21:16] climate change should be everywhere so... so it
[00:21:20] should also be in games and it's the most
[00:21:23] pressing matter of our times. what we wanted to
[00:21:26] create for players is this uh authentic
[00:21:29] experience, so everything that happens in the
[00:21:32] game, also the
[00:21:35] simulation, how you can compensate CO2 with
[00:21:39] forest etc. studies show that climate games can
[00:21:42] be powerful tools for learning. they help players
[00:21:46] understand complex systems, strengthen their sense of
[00:21:49] responsibility, and even inspire action, one eight
[00:21:52] gamers takes real world action based on what they have learned in
[00:21:56] games,
[00:21:58] but how accurate is the science behind these games
[00:22:02] really? we all created this in a
[00:22:05] way that it feels like this makes sense. it is not so much
[00:22:09] about data
[00:22:12] or precise calculations, it is more
[00:22:14] about the experience. other
[00:22:18] games address young people's
[00:22:21] so-called eco anxiety. In Canada, for example,
[00:22:24] 80% of 16 to 25 year olds say that
[00:22:28] anxiety about climate change affects their mental
[00:22:31] health. This inspired psychology
[00:22:34] professor Stefania Maji to develop an adventure game that helps
[00:22:37] players become more eco-conscious. It
[00:22:41] also helps them to better cop with
[00:22:41] their
[00:22:46] emotions. We hope that the people who
[00:22:50] are playing this game. also go through this journey,
[00:22:53] this hero's journey and and the
[00:22:56] process feeling more equipped and with
[00:22:59] greater quality, motivated to do
[00:23:03] something as part of the climate crisis.
[00:23:06] games really can have an impact, like raising our
[00:23:08] awareness about the environment. some games
[00:23:12] focus on other areas like building cultural bridges. a
[00:23:15] Syrian German designer has developed a game that lets players
[00:23:18] experience a virtual pilgrimage in order to to better
[00:23:22] understand what religious beliefs mean to people. I was
[00:23:26] longing to go to Mecca, but I
[00:23:30] didn't have the means and I thought maybe other people as well, so I
[00:23:35] representation of the physical place, like in a true to scale
[00:23:38] environment, and you can visit this place from the comfort of your
[00:23:41] home. In this game, players embark a virtual
[00:23:44] pilgrimage, by completing quests, they can explore
[00:23:48] the Islamic world and learn more about its history and...
[00:23:51] culture: me, myself, being grown up
[00:23:55] with like gaming consoles and video games, I thought Muslims
[00:23:58] were depicted in a in a negative or very
[00:24:02] superficial way, so I wanted to create something where Muslims
[00:24:06] can identify with themselves in the game, also in a positive
[00:24:09] manner. continues to refine his game to make the experience
[00:24:13] even more immersive, you also
[00:24:19] with them, so you can change your appearance in a way that... to really identify
[00:24:23] yourself with this character, because you want to be part of this game, you can,
[00:24:26] you want to be part of the story. this is
[00:24:29] his way of helping to break down
[00:24:30] prejudice against
[00:24:35] Muslims. I strongly believe that
[00:24:38] this prejudice and this animosity comes
[00:24:41] from the lack of knowledge, from ignorance. Maybe we can bridge
[00:24:45] this gap by giving them like accessible, a playful way to learn
[00:24:49] something about the religion. These games are important. UN experts have
[00:24:52] warned that globally islamophobia has reached
[00:24:55] alarming levels, the far right has long been using
[00:24:59] games to spread their views and even recruit new people.
[00:25:02] Conflict researcher Lars Vigold studies radical online
[00:25:05] communities, especially within digital gaming. Here he
[00:25:09] explains why games are so
[00:25:10] attractive to the far
[00:26:02] right. came about during that time, a
[00:26:06] disturbing game that was secretly shared despite being
[00:26:09] banned. another example is the great rebellion
[00:26:13] from 2024. this run and gun game is set in a
[00:26:16] dystopian Europe where players fight against a
[00:26:19] multicultural elite. a digital
[00:26:23] dictatorship that owns everything.
[00:26:26] extremists don't even need to build their own games, they often use
[00:26:29] existing ones for their purposes. The third aspect
[00:26:33] is simply this large gaming ecosystem, it offers
[00:26:36] countless ways to influence others.
[00:26:40] some games allow players to design their own worlds, like minecraft,
[00:26:44] one of the most popular games in the world. here extremists have
[00:26:47] built virtual concentration camps and avatars of
[00:26:50] hitler. far right symbols can also be found
[00:26:54] on roblox. most games have moderators and
[00:26:58] community guidelines, but not everything gets flagged or
[00:27:00] removed.
[00:28:02] that they can motivate us to think about issues and to make a
[00:28:05] change. Having fun whilst learning, that doesn't sound too bad, does
[00:28:09] it? anyway, I'm off for another gaming session, bye for now.
[00:28:34] "I'm burning up here, man, take
[00:28:36] Reflustat, because Reflustat contains natural ingredients and quickly extinguishes
[00:28:40] heartburn. She can also take it.
[00:28:43] Trust your stomach, take Reflustat, now available
[00:28:47] in chewable
[00:28:49] tablet form.
[00:28:52] Do you think it's easy to get into Podravka
[00:28:55] products?
[00:28:59] You have to be much better than the competition.
[00:29:03] Congratulations, you got the role, but we admit,
[00:29:06] the most important thing is origin, because with
[00:29:09] us, the main roles are only given to originals from
[00:29:12] Croatian fields, homegrown in the main
[00:29:16] role, Podravka.
[00:29:39] White and black. Social
[00:29:41] hierarchies have been built around skin color for centuries.
[00:29:45] It's been used to justify colonialism, slavery and
[00:29:48] discrimination. Stereotypes based on skin are
[00:29:52] still all too common, but how did different skin colors arise in the
[00:29:55] first place? A viewer from Camaroon sent in a great
[00:29:58] question.
[00:30:01] This time around. It's all about evolution and history.
[00:30:05] Welcome to Tomorrow
[00:30:06] Today.
[00:30:11] Why do people have different skin
[00:30:13] colors? All early humans had dark
[00:30:17] skin back when our species migrated out of Africa between
[00:30:20] 100 thousand and 70,00 years
[00:30:23] ago. Lighter pigmentation evolved much later.
[00:30:26] Even 5,000 years ago, Utsi, the famous iceman
[00:30:30] discovered in the Alps, had a dark... skin tone than present day
[00:30:34] Europeans. The reason involves two forms
[00:30:38] of melanin, pigments that dictate the color of our
[00:30:41] eyes, skin and hair.
[00:30:45] Melanin protects your skin from UV radiation.
[00:30:49] It's produced in specialized skin cells called
[00:30:51] melanocides. When enough UV light strikes the
[00:30:55] skin, it initiates melanin production. The
[00:30:58] pigment absorbs.
