[00:00:00] uh his child eats alone, then it is a relief
[00:00:04] for him. The goal of the Biser association is to make
[00:00:07] users independent, and what is most important to us is that if our
[00:00:10] user, who is over
[00:00:13] 20 years old, does not know how to read or write, then they should learn to
[00:00:17] dress themselves or clean the room, make the bed or
[00:00:21] wash clothes. So, we teach them in the day care center skills that are
[00:00:25] important for their independence and for life later, right
[00:00:28] when they leave. families, in the future
[00:00:31] Biser plans to implement a supported housing project, which
[00:00:35] simultaneously represents the ultimate goal of the association, which
[00:00:38] is more independent functioning of users. communities
[00:00:42] where users live, for example, four of them live at home
[00:00:45] alone and they have housekeepers who visit them, who are on duty every eight
[00:00:49] take turns during the day, they
[00:00:53] then live alone, that is a permanent solution for their independence
[00:00:56] without parents. Good deeds must not go unnoticed.
[00:01:01] noticed, report and introduce your hero,
[00:01:04] share with us the good in people.
[00:01:24] it's not pure. Much of
[00:01:34] moving mountains at the push of a
[00:01:36] button.
[00:01:40] It might sound like science fiction, but in the Swiss
[00:01:43] Alps, it may soon become reality. In the
[00:01:46] Gothard massive, researchers at the University of Zeric
[00:01:50] hope to trigger a small earthquake. If it
[00:01:53] works, it could reveal more about how earthquakes
[00:01:56] start, and whether they can be predicted.
[00:02:02] 'all this and more groundbreaking stories on DW's science
[00:02:06] show, welcome to tomorrow
[00:02:08] today,
[00:02:14] the big moment is just days away, researchers at
[00:02:18] ETHH Zuric University are hoping to do something that's never been done
[00:02:22] in quite this way before, deliberately triggering a small
[00:02:25] earthquake,
[00:02:28] but first there's still'. plenty of work to
[00:02:30] do.
[00:02:33] A narrow road leads two and a half kilometers deep into the
[00:02:36] Gottat. The Bedreto tunnel underneath the mountain
[00:02:40] range is more than 50 years old and no longer in
[00:02:43] use, and now it's a perfect natural
[00:02:46] laboratory. Here the team hopes to make ancient fault
[00:02:50] deep inside the rock slip ever so
[00:02:52] slightly.
[00:02:54] We're here because of this fault zone. You can see the boundary here
[00:02:57] clearly, a thin line.
[00:04:00] sensors inside the mountain, hoping to capture every moment of the
[00:04:03] earthquake as it
[00:04:04] unfolds.
[00:04:08] Here's how they plan to trigger it: the fault has
[00:04:11] slipped naturally before, producing tiny
[00:04:15] this seemingly humble mineral is one of earthquakes.
[00:04:18] To reach it, the team has excavated new tunnel branching
[00:04:22] but table salt accounts for only a off from the bajo lab.
[00:04:26] From here, they'll pump water through three bore holes directly.
[00:04:30] to the fault.
[00:04:33] As water pressure increases, the rock begins to shift. The
[00:04:36] existing stresses in the rock are released, triggering
[00:04:40] micro earthquake.
[00:04:44] Using six high pressure pumps, they'll inject around
[00:04:47] 2,000 cubic meters of water into the bore holes to bring
[00:04:51] the fault to the point where it slips.
[00:04:55] The pump system operates at pressures approaching 200 bar,
[00:04:58] demanding test.
[00:05:09] alg is often called the super food of
[00:05:42] the control room at eth where the experiment will be
[00:05:46] run.
[00:05:49] we're about to launch the first full scale experiment. it's
[00:05:52] exciting.
[00:05:55] two weeks later, the control room in zuric. in just few
[00:05:59] minutes the test will
[00:06:00] begin.
[00:06:05] one last systems check at the lab 100 km
[00:06:09] away.
[00:06:12] yeah, angespannt, it's been a busy night and morning, but
[00:06:16] everything looks good and we're
[00:06:18] ready to go. the researchers are
[00:06:22] optimistic, the pumps are ready and the safety
[00:06:24] systems
[00:06:27] are in place. so this is button is to um
[00:06:30] manually stop the pump uh so we can press this button, once we have it pressed
[00:06:34] for about 8 seconds, the pumps in the tunnel will stop
[00:06:37] automatically, and this is safety procedure that will allow
[00:06:40] to have a bit more control.
[00:06:43] "the last members of the team have just left the tunnel, this
[00:06:47] is team two and that's pressure up by one
[00:06:49] megapascal. here we
[00:06:51] go,
[00:06:58] the pumps are starting up, forcing water deep into the bore
[00:07:01] holes.
[00:07:05] the data stream to zeric is running smoothly,
[00:07:09] just in case, now comes the weight. watching
[00:07:13] the instruments and waiting for the fault to
[00:07:16] slip.
[00:07:19] pressure inside the fault continues to rise approaching 100
[00:07:23] bar.
[00:07:26] then suddenly a flood of new data
[00:07:28] appears. deep inside the mountain, something has
[00:07:32] begun to
[00:07:32] move.
[00:07:36] we've already detected and located more than a thousand quakes since we started
[00:07:40] the simulation.
[00:08:42] the mini earthquake they've been
[00:08:44] waiting
[00:08:50] for, deep beneath the alps lies a resource prized for
[00:08:54] thousands of
[00:08:54] years,
[00:08:58] salt, it's mined by pumping water
[00:09:02] underground or cut directly from the rock, often
[00:09:05] called white gold, its story began earth's ancient
[00:09:08] oceans,
[00:09:12] "the story of this salt began 250 million years
[00:09:15] ago, today that salt lies deep
[00:09:19] underground,
[00:09:22] and we rely on salt in more ways than ever before.
[00:09:28] the key raw materials of modern
[00:09:29] life,
[00:09:35] tiny fraction of its use. most salt doesn't land on our
[00:09:39] plates.
[00:09:41] it's found in product." we use every day, without sodium
[00:09:45] chloride, many aspects of modern life simply wouldn't
[00:09:48] work, so how does such a simple substance
[00:09:52] become so incredibly versatile? the
[00:09:55] key lies in a chemical process that transforms it into
[00:09:58] three essential chemical building blocks. chlorine is
[00:10:02] used to make plastics like pvc,
[00:10:04] medications, a wide range of chemical products and to
[00:10:08] disinfect drinking water.
[00:10:11] cost. is used to produce aluminum, paper and textiles
[00:10:15] and much more.
[00:10:19] hydrogen is a byproduct used mainly in industry and
[00:10:22] increasingly as an energy carrier.
[00:10:29] One raw material, countless
[00:10:31] products.
[00:10:36] In Germany, salt is an important natural resource, and the country
[00:10:39] produces average of 18 million tons of salt every
[00:10:43] year.
[00:10:45] Most of domestic demand is met from these deposits and large
[00:10:49] amounts of salt are exported every
[00:10:51] year.
[00:10:56] Today's salt deposits formed many millions of years
[00:10:59] ago. Back then a shallow sea
[00:11:03] covered large parts of central
[00:11:05] Europe.
[00:11:08] Shifting tectonic plates created isolated seas and salt
[00:11:11] lakes. As the water evaporated into the hot
[00:11:15] arid climate, the dissolved salts
[00:11:18] crystallized. Eventually layers of salt were buried
[00:11:21] under sediment and younger rock over and over again.
[00:11:26] Today salt deposits in the form of sodium chloride stretch beneath
[00:11:30] northern and central Germany, it's mined and
[00:11:33] then processed, but not all salt is the
[00:11:37] same. Sodium chloride is only part of the
[00:11:39] story. There are also potassium rich salts, the most
[00:11:43] important raw material for potash fertilizer, but
[00:11:49] the ore consists of rock salt and other minerals that must be
[00:11:52] processed and separated.
[00:11:56] These deposits are concentrated in Central
[00:11:59] Germany. Potassium is an essential
[00:12:03] nutrient for plants. That's why potache salts are used around
[00:12:07] the world to make fertilizers.
[00:12:10] Potache salts dissolve in the soil, releasing potassium
[00:12:14] that helps plants use water efficiently and also
[00:12:17] resist drought, frost and
[00:12:19] disease, and that in turn increases the
[00:12:23] quantity and quality of the heart.
[00:12:29] but potash mining also has a downside, only
[00:12:33] part of the ore is used, while huge quantities remain as solid
[00:12:37] and liquid residues.
[00:12:40] Over the decades, huge waste heaps have built up as some mining
[00:12:43] sites.
[00:12:46] The KNS mining company, for example extracts up to 40
[00:12:50] million tons of potassium rich ore
[00:12:52] year.
[00:12:55] After processing, that becomes just 9.5 million tons of
[00:12:58] marketable products. Most of the mined material ends up
[00:13:02] as waste. At just one site in central
[00:13:06] Germany, hundreds of millions of tons of residue are stored in
[00:13:10] towering heaps, with official approval.
[00:13:14] Rain washes salt from those heaps, creating waste water
[00:13:17] that's discharged into the Verra River. Liquid
[00:13:21] processing residues also end up there.
[00:13:25] Salt is raw material essential to much of modern
[00:13:28] life. It helps power our world and reshape
[00:13:31] it. The question is, at what
[00:13:35] cost?
[00:13:42] This river has a problem, and you can measure
[00:13:45] it.
[00:13:47] Biologist Andre Bush and his colleagues are searching for life in
[00:13:51] Nevaga.
[00:13:55] decades, environmental authorities have been tracking salt levels here
[00:13:59] and what they're doing to the plants and animals that depend on this
[00:14:02] river. Under the EU Water Framework
[00:14:05] directive, rivers are graded a five-point scale. Here at
[00:14:09] Galstungen, the Vera is currently rated as being in poor environmental
[00:14:13] condition.
[00:14:16] One of the biggest reasons is salt. For decades,
[00:14:19] potash mining has discharged sailing water into the
[00:14:23] river. The result is salt.
[00:14:55] gut weed, their abundance is another clear sign of the
[00:14:58] river's high salt
[00:14:59] content.
[00:15:02] By now, things should be different. Under EU
[00:15:05] rules, rivers and lakes are supposed to be in good condition by
[00:15:09] 2027.
[00:15:11] That's essential for clean drinking water and healthy
[00:15:14] ecosystems.
[00:15:21] Further upstream, which isn't affected by the salen discharge.
[00:15:47] It's a glimpse of what the vega could become if salt levels were much
[00:15:48] lower.
[00:15:53] Further downstream though, the discharges are set to
[00:15:56] continue. The KNS mining company has long faced
[00:16:00] criticism over the pollution, but says it's working to reduce its
[00:16:03] environmental impact.
[00:16:07] One major project is a more environmentally friendly processing
[00:16:11] system, designed to eliminate liquid production
[00:16:14] waste. KNS declined our request for an
[00:16:18] interview. In a written statement, the company
[00:16:21] said, when disposing of solid
[00:16:24] residues, we are also continuously minimizing our
[00:16:27] environmental impact and using state of the art
[00:16:30] technology.
[00:16:35] The company's main solution is cover. the waste heaps, layers
[00:16:39] of plastic liner, soil and vegetation are designed
[00:16:42] to keep rainwater out, preventing salt from entering the
[00:16:46] river, but critics question whether it will work in
[00:16:50] the long run.
[00:16:53] reducing the river salt pollution is technically difficult and
[00:16:57] expensive, and the company says the problem can't be eliminated
[00:17:01] completely. the authorities have repeatedly renewed the
[00:17:04] discharge permits, although with progressively tighter.
[00:17:07] limits.
[00:17:10] Salt levels in Neva have fallen, but the river still
[00:17:14] has a long way to
[00:17:15] go.
[00:17:19] Salt can also have healing properties. Salt
[00:17:23] brine has been used in spars for
[00:17:25] centuries.
[00:17:29] Now it's helping to grow sea lettuce, bringing a
[00:17:32] taste of the sea closer to
[00:17:34] home. Forget.
[00:20:12] It's still early days, but before long super food algie
[00:20:16] from bad saro could be on the
[00:20:18] menu.
[00:20:21] What are stars made of? How many
[00:20:24] colors can butterflies see? Could
[00:20:27] robots have babies one day? Do you have
[00:20:30] science question? Then send it to us as a video, text
[00:20:34] or voice message. If we answer it in the show, then..." will send you a
[00:20:38] little gift as a thank you, so just
[00:20:41] ask.
[00:20:47] the future. it also's contains iodine,
[00:20:51] a trace element our thyroid gland needs to function,
[00:20:55] but in Germany and many other countries, millions of people still don't
[00:20:58] get enough iodine, and here too, salt can be part of the
[00:21:01] solution.
[00:21:05] around one and three people in Germany may not be getting enough
[00:21:09] iodine, often without realizing it. experts
[00:21:12] have been warning about the problem for years. jokenfel
[00:21:16] is doctor who's campaigning to improve iodine intake in Germany.
[00:21:21] The situation has worsened because of lower iodi salt
[00:21:24] consumption. The main problem is the food industry, which still
[00:21:28] relies mostly on ordinary salt. As a result, we're
[00:21:31] getting less iodine from our food.
[00:21:35] We've now reach the point where Germany once again meets the WHO
[00:21:39] criteria for iodine deficiency.
[00:21:42] Both west and east Germany began using iodized salt much more
[00:21:46] widely in the 1980s. By then scientists. already
[00:21:50] understood how important iodine is for health.
[00:21:54] iodine is a trace element we need to get from
[00:21:56] food.
[00:21:59] the thyroid gland uses it to produce the hormones t3 and
[00:22:02] t4 which act on almost every cell in the
[00:22:05] body.
[00:22:11] these hormones help regulate the cardiovascular system and blood
[00:22:15] pressure and support cell growth and
[00:22:17] development. that's why the important for healthy bones
[00:22:21] and for the development of the brain and nervous
[00:22:24] system. they also help regulate metabolism, which
[00:22:28] influences body weight. too little
[00:22:31] iodine over time can lead to health problems.
[00:22:34] radiologist melva abell often sees thyroid nodules in her
[00:22:38] patients. long-term iodine deficiency can be one
[00:22:42] factor in their development.
[00:22:45] the thyroid can enlarge and that may contribute to nodules
[00:22:48] developing over time.
[00:23:20] but if the thyroid can no longer produce enough hormones,
[00:23:23] symptoms may include feeling cold, dry
[00:23:26] skin, hair loss, weight gain
[00:23:29] as well as low mood and problems with memory and
[00:23:32] concentration. Over the long term, iodine
[00:23:36] deficiency can cause what's known as a goider. For
[00:23:39] adults, the WHO recommends a daily intake of
[00:23:42] 150 micrograms.
[00:23:46] 5 grams of iodized salt provides roughly 100%
[00:23:59] We shouldn't eat too much salt, of course, it can raise blood
[00:24:02] pressure, but when we do use salt, it should be
[00:24:05] iodized.
[00:24:14] The iodine content in salt is slightly higher.
[00:24:15] will be.
[00:24:21] much of it comes from processed foods such as
[00:24:24] bread, cold cuts and cheese, and seasoning
[00:24:27] mixes, but manufacturers usually use
[00:24:30] ordinary salt rather than iodized salt. cost is one
[00:24:34] reason, so we may be eating plenty of salt, but
[00:24:38] still not getting enough iodine. nutrition specialist constanza
[00:24:42] losa says cooking more meals from scratch can
[00:24:44] help. cook at home and eat mainly fresh,
[00:24:48] minimally processed foods rather than...
[00:25:20] contain very little iodine. A
[00:25:22] diet based mainly on fresh unprocessed foods provides
[00:25:26] about 120 micrograms of iodine a day.
[00:25:29] Fish and seaweed are naturally rich sources of iodine, but in
[00:25:33] Germany most people don't eat them regularly.
[00:25:37] Milk, dairy products and eggs also provide small amounts,
[00:25:41] partly because iodine is added to animal
[00:25:43] feed.
[00:25:46] Fruit and vegetables generally contain very little in much of Germany.
[00:26:32] Severe iodine deficiency during pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause
[00:26:36] lasting developmental problems, even a mild
[00:26:39] deficiency may affect a child's brain
[00:26:41] development.
[00:26:44] Studies suggest that children who received too little iodine in the
[00:26:48] womb may later do less well in areas such as reading
[00:26:51] comprehension.
[00:26:53] Some studies have also found slightly lower IQ
[00:26:56] scores. That's why adequate iodine is important for
[00:27:00] the developing brain.
[00:27:03] And for many people, iodized salt is still the simplest
[00:27:07] way to get more
[00:27:08] iodine.
[00:27:13] That wraps things up this time around. Thanks for joining us and
[00:27:16] hope to see you next time tomorrow today. Bye for now.
[00:27:32] Almost on every street, in every street of the old
[00:27:36] city center of Zaječar, one can
[00:27:39] stop before the source of life. Yes, Zaječar
[00:27:43] is the city with the most fountains, perhaps
[00:27:46] in Europe. For example, Khartoum in Sudan has
[00:27:50] two white-water rivers, the Blue and White Nile, which merge to form the Great Nile.
[00:27:54] Well, we are one of the rare cities in the world, or so I've heard, that has both
[00:27:57] a black-water river, which is the Black Timok, and a white-water river, which is the White
[00:28:01] Timok. I... "For peasants and
[00:28:04] residents of Serbia, it is important to have water and
[00:28:08] land, but as for
[00:28:11] gold, we can't even see it. Our
[00:28:15] nature has been transformed in the last few years into an
[00:28:18] investment, into a space for
[00:28:20] exploitation. What is very controversial is that the company Dama Gradnja
[00:28:24] was founded seven days before the public auction itself, with a founding
[00:28:28] capital of one thousand
[00:28:29] dinars.
[00:28:32] We warned you not to commit a criminal offense, not to engage in illegal
[00:28:36] procedures.
[00:28:40] The first of those plots that was sold allows for a 12-story building
[00:28:44] to be built there.
[00:28:48] That is something that is actually, at the end of the day, the economics of plunder.

[00:30:49] Those who expected a hot film summer were
[00:30:52] right because the cinema repertoire currently features
[00:30:56] diverse genres, so everyone manages to find their film
[00:30:59] story.
