[00:00:19] Good afternoon, you are watching the N1 TV noon news, followed by a review of
[00:00:22] the most important events of
[00:00:23] the day.
[00:00:28] The election campaign is accelerating, students on bicycles
[00:00:32] with the constitution continue their tour of Serbia. The
[00:00:35] European Serbia
[00:00:37] coalition is also joining the campaign today.
[00:00:42] At 60 locations in Belgrade, Ne-Bitef,
[00:00:45] a self-organized festival of the artistic community under the slogan Bitef
[00:00:49] is where we
[00:00:50] gather, is beginning.
[00:00:53] In the largest attack on Moscow since
[00:00:56] Fungi. They come in the beginning of the war, two people were killed, victims in a Russian attack on Kyiv.
[00:01:10] region. As part of the pre-election campaign, a
[00:01:13] ten-day cycling tour is underway in which two teams visit
[00:01:16] different parts of the country and talk to citizens,
[00:01:19] promoting the student list, students win, and its plan
[00:01:23] on October 25.
[00:01:27] The cycling tour, called the Guardians of the Constitution, began
[00:01:30] on September 17 from Belgrade, when two teams carrying copies of the constitution
[00:01:34] set off for different parts of
[00:01:37] It's the most important test of Serbia. Today, one team from Užice should arrive in Kraljevo, and the other from
[00:01:41] Kikinda in Subotica. And this is what the welcome in
[00:01:45] Užice
[00:01:45] looked like last night.
[00:01:54] The President of the National Assembly in a technical
[00:01:57] mandate, Ana Brnabić, said that this
[00:02:01] format of campaigning suggests that you view politics as a
[00:02:04] game. How do you respond? Well,
[00:02:07] I, I honestly think that this is actually something completely different. We take this
[00:02:10] very seriously and we have taken this too seriously, this is just to
[00:02:14] show our emotion, how many really
[00:02:17] good people there are with us and honest ones, so I think it's enough to
[00:02:21] say that 29 citizens who live in this city could not
[00:02:24] pass through the city square and the main street, tonight,
[00:02:28] of course, everyone is welcome to come and support our colleagues, the student
[00:02:32] list will return
[00:02:34] all those institutions that have been taken from the people
[00:02:38] to the people.
[00:02:42] The coalition European Serbia, consisting of the Party
[00:02:45] of Freedom and Justice, Serbia Center, and the Citizens' Movement Solidarity, which
[00:02:49] submitted its signatures to the Republican Election Commission yesterday, is starting its campaign.
[00:02:52] SSP Vice President Marinika Tepić says that their priority is the continuation of European
[00:02:56] integration, the return of the rule of law, and a ruthless crackdown on
[00:03:00] corruption and crime. Dragan Đilas states that the best way
[00:03:03] to change the current government is for as many people as
[00:03:07] possible to vote on October 25, and he believes that
[00:03:10] a larger number of options contributes the most to this, that three opposition
[00:03:14] lists are key to victory. However, SSP officials Borko
[00:03:18] Stefanović, Jelena Milošević, Vladimir Vesjakov, and Goran
[00:03:21] Petrović, as well as Peđa Mitrović and Mila
[00:03:23] The prototype generates only a Popović, believe that it is a better choice to support the student list,
[00:03:26] as do members of the presidency of the Serbia Center party,
[00:03:30] Slobodan Petrović and Boško Šindić, who withdrew from the European
[00:03:33] Serbia list. This happens in politics, say European
[00:03:37] Serbia.
[00:03:40] They said that they no longer support this policy and are leaving the
[00:03:44] party, so that's that, it happens in politics, this dramatic
[00:03:47] period for our paths to diverge, that is quite legitimate. From our side,
[00:03:51] there will be no harsh words, as far as I've seen, there were no harsh words even from
[00:03:55] the people who decided to get off at this station. Thank you all
[00:03:58] for everything. They have endured until now, thank you to those who have
[00:04:02] a different opinion from us, I think that if we want to build a different
[00:04:06] Serbia, we must get used to the fact that democracy
[00:04:09] implies the right to different opinions,
[00:04:13] they remain comrades in arms, and as far as we are concerned, absolutely
[00:04:17] yes.
[00:04:19] And the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, who is the bearer and first on the list of
[00:04:23] the Serbian Progressive Party,
[00:04:26] Apart from the copper contacts, most of announced his resignation as president. He reiterated this morning that if he
[00:04:29] becomes prime minister, the government will have 12 ministers,
[00:04:32] adding that he will do his best to replace at least
[00:04:36] 50% of mayors and municipal presidents in Serbia three months after
[00:04:40] the government is formed, because he says they did not want to listen to
[00:04:44] run on campus, it drives in the citizens but were thinking about themselves. He reiterates that he will resign
[00:04:48] on September 27. There are still things he needs to
[00:04:51] take out of the presidency because he wants the future acting
[00:04:55] president of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, to find an empty
[00:04:58] office so that she can immediately take office when he resigns
[00:05:02] on September 27.
[00:05:06] Miloš Jovanović, the holder of the list of candidates for deputies of the Authentic
[00:05:09] Right in the elections on October 25, assesses that it is
[00:05:13] necessary to redefine Serbia's relations with the European Union.
[00:05:17] That is why the Authentic Right, unlike all others, clearly
[00:05:20] states: cooperation with the European Union, yes, membership
[00:05:24] no, says
[00:05:25] Jovanović.
[00:05:29] Environmental organizations are calling for a redefinition of policy towards
[00:05:33] geological research and mining. At a protest held
[00:05:36] last night in Belgrade, they demanded a moratorium on all contracts that the
[00:05:39] state has concluded regarding research and mining,
[00:05:42] until their content and consequences are reviewed. These are
[00:05:46] contracts for research at more than 200
[00:05:48] locations.
[00:05:53] The natural resources of this country, for which our
[00:05:56] grandfathers bled and died, the
[00:06:00] government has now decided to sell off
[00:06:04] to foreigners, no more no less than for some
[00:06:07] paltry mining rent. From this
[00:06:10] place, we jointly declare, it will
[00:06:14] not be possible, this is our country, this is not
[00:06:17] private property, Canadian and American companies
[00:06:21] sold the Čukaru Peki mine to the Chinese,
[00:06:23] and that's why when they tell you that
[00:06:27] anyone from ecological movements
[00:06:30] represents the interests of Western or some
[00:06:33] other powers from the East, BRICS, whatever they
[00:06:36] call it, know that they are lying to you, that it is the narrative
[00:06:39] of the companies of the corrupt government.
[00:06:48] At 60 locations in Belgrade, Ne-Bitef,
[00:06:51] a self-organized festival of the artistic community under the slogan Bitef is
[00:06:55] where we gather, is starting, in protest against the pressures
[00:06:59] from the government to which the Belgrade International
[00:07:02] Theater Festival is exposed. Bitef suffers various forms of financial,
[00:07:06] programmatic, and administrative repression, becoming an example of the kidnapping
[00:07:09] of public cultural heritage by an autocratic government, stated
[00:07:13] the organizers of Ne-Bitef. They state that this year's edition
[00:07:16] brings a collective festival of micro-scenes that will welcome
[00:07:20] visitors across the city from
[00:07:23] 12 to 18 hours with free
[00:07:26] entry to all locations.
[00:07:29] Radar journalist Radmila Stanković told N1
[00:07:33] that the government is destroying festivals and will continue
[00:07:36] to do so until the elections. In this situation,
[00:07:40] it's just proof that until
[00:07:44] the elections, absolutely every
[00:07:47] voice in culture, every phenomenon in culture, every
[00:07:51] opportunity to say something, or
[00:07:54] to address, is to be destroyed. This has been
[00:07:57] done quite successfully with education,
[00:08:00] and naturally with culture.
[00:08:03] Now everyone in this area resists in the
[00:08:07] way they can, and I think that
[00:08:10] Ne- Bitef
[00:08:13] is another proof, just as the Niš Film Festival
[00:08:16] was, uh, that it is possible, for me that is
[00:08:19] the greatest success,
[00:08:21] it can be done.
[00:08:26] Four children and the driver were injured in a traffic accident that occurred
[00:08:30] on the Mojkovac Kolašin highway, involving
[00:08:33] a bus transporting students from a Podgorica
[00:08:36] elementary school. The Montenegrin police unofficially
[00:08:40] stated that the traffic accident occurred when a rockslide occurred, which the
[00:08:44] driver tried to avoid and then hit a rock on the right
[00:08:47] side of the road. The bus driver, a Serbian citizen who
[00:08:51] has a temporary residence and work permit in Montenegro, was arrested on
[00:08:55] suspicion of committing a serious offense against public traffic
[00:08:59] safety.
[00:09:05] And the world. Ukraine carried out its largest drone attack on
[00:09:09] the Russian capital since the start of the war. At least two
[00:09:12] people were killed and six were injured in the attack. The mayor
[00:09:16] of Moscow said that several drones reached the Moscow oil refinery, and
[00:09:20] that one hit a residential building. The head of the Moscow
[00:09:23] region stated that two people were killed and 400 people
[00:09:26] were evacuated from a residential building, and a large number of
[00:09:30] houses were also damaged. In a Russian drone attack on Kyiv, on the other hand,
[00:09:34] a private house was hit, and a woman and her two
[00:09:37] children were killed in the attack.
[00:09:41] And that's all for this news overview, stay with N1.
[00:10:07] No endless scrolling, no mindless violence,
[00:10:10] no porn in late.
[00:10:13] Australia introduced the world's first age limit for social
[00:10:16] media. If you're under 16, the likes of
[00:10:19] Instagram, YouTube and TikTok are off limits, but more
[00:10:23] than 80% of teenagers still use them thanks also to the
[00:10:26] platforms making it child's play to circumvent the
[00:10:29] ban.
[00:10:32] It's hardly difficult when the age check is just one question: are
[00:10:36] you over 16? yes or
[00:10:38] no?
[00:10:41] however old you are, welcome to DW Science show tomorrow
[00:10:45] today.
[00:10:51] a few hand gestures and moments later you know whether someone is
[00:10:55] over or under 18,
[00:10:58] the French startup Needmand launched the border age service in December
[00:11:02] 2025.
[00:11:06] it sounds a little crazy, how does it work? it might sound
[00:11:10] hard to believe, but it's science, not
[00:11:12] magic. to take the test, users need a
[00:11:16] camera and must copy several hand movements, an AI
[00:11:19] system then analyzes them. The company
[00:11:23] says the technology is based on medical.
[00:11:55] and according to the company is now 99%
[00:11:58] accurate. We have customers in three sectors:
[00:12:02] social media, adult websites and dating platforms and we're in
[00:12:06] contact with Google, TikTok and
[00:12:07] Meta.
[00:12:10] Needmand system is currently calibrated for age
[00:12:13] 18. The startup also plans to adapt the product to the
[00:12:17] thresholds of 15 and
[00:12:18] 16.
[00:12:21] What makes the method appealing is that users do not have to dis'.
[00:13:55] demand for both privacy and child
[00:13:57] protection.
[00:14:01] what are germany's inventors typically working on these
[00:14:04] days? Transport and engineering are strong,
[00:14:08] but it's the auto industry that, according to the German patent office is
[00:14:12] the top driver of
[00:14:13] innovation.
[00:14:16] pot holes after winter, they're everywhere. that means
[00:14:20] more road works and more traffic jams. Overweight
[00:14:23] trucks are particularly hard on
[00:14:25] roads.
[00:14:28] That's why the police carry out spot checks. Often they
[00:14:32] find the overloaded trucks also have brake defects,
[00:14:36] but this truck can inspect itself in real time. Mechanical
[00:14:40] engineers at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and their partners have
[00:14:44] transformed it into a mobile laboratory.
[00:14:48] Here we monitor signals from the truck's running gear. The
[00:14:51] sensors are mounted beneath the trailer.
[00:14:56] This is the connector, it leads back to our data recording
[00:14:59] unit, so this is the sensor, its data shows whether
[00:15:03] wheel loads are too high or too low and exactly where
[00:15:06] our current models can also detect brake defects such
[00:15:10] as a brake failing,
[00:15:13] also that on one side of the axle, for example, a brake fails.
[00:15:16] The engineer has already fitted prototypes to five trucks now
[00:15:20] traveling across western, but he
[00:15:23] manipulates the brakes for testing.
[00:16:37] a prototype in western Germany. The sensors show exactly
[00:16:41] how the load is spread across the
[00:16:43] axles.
[00:16:45] everything remains in the safe
[00:16:47] range.
[00:16:49] previously he had to weigh his truck before and after
[00:16:52] loading.
[00:16:56] we no longer have to weigh the truck before and after because the
[00:17:00] system displays the weight. that saves us 10 to 20 minutes each
[00:17:04] time. by the end of the day that means at least one extra trip.
[00:17:12] The monitoring system can also help truck drivers avoid fines for
[00:17:15] overweight loads, the system should soon be available to
[00:17:19] interested
[00:17:20] buyers.
[00:17:24] The goal is to put it into practical use and get it onto the road,
[00:17:27] instead of letting the research disappear into a drawer. We're
[00:17:31] currently working with partners to industrialize the system by the end of
[00:17:34] 2026.
[00:17:38] The researchers estimate that the system will cost a few hundred
[00:17:41] euros. At any time, truck drivers
[00:17:45] could use a phone to view load distribution, tire wear,
[00:17:49] and brake defects.
[00:17:51] Sensors beneath the trailer would also gather data on road
[00:17:55] conditions.
[00:18:00] As we drive along the road, an oscillating movement develops here, that
[00:18:04] allows us to assess the condition of the road surface.
[00:18:07] be fun. AI would continuously analyze the road
[00:18:11] condition data. As
[00:18:14] more trucks adopt the system, road crews would know far more
[00:18:17] precisely which routes need to be repaired
[00:18:20] first.
[00:18:24] Leaving the road for the field, we keep rolling with an
[00:18:28] AI powered tractor that operates completely its own without a
[00:18:31] driver.
[00:18:35] here it is, robot track. programmed
[00:18:38] to detect and avoid any obstacle all its
[00:18:41] own, but will it work? At
[00:18:45] the technical university of Kaiserslautern and Landau, the
[00:18:48] robot tractor is already driving safely from the barn to
[00:18:52] the field, at least in a computer simulation,
[00:18:55] mechanical engineer Ika Gasson helped develop it,
[00:18:59] now he and his colleagues are ready to test it outdoors.
[00:19:02] Over the past few months, Costton Barens and his team have
[00:19:06] packed the machine. AI systems, the goal is to build
[00:19:10] a tractor robot that can independently monitor, sow
[00:19:13] and cultivate crops.
[00:19:17] We're not starting from scratch, we've added things that
[00:19:20] we already tested on other vehicles, and we also
[00:19:24] bought products that are already on the market. The big
[00:19:28] challenge is integrating all the
[00:19:29] subcomponents.
[00:19:33] The scientists at the German university have a lot of
[00:19:36] experience.
[00:20:07] system around the vehicle can also be activated via
[00:20:10] radio and laser
[00:20:12] scanner.
[00:20:14] the robot tractor can even decide its own to hit the emergency
[00:20:18] brake. during this test
[00:20:22] a loop, spotting obstacles like trees,
[00:20:25] lamps, buildings, uneven ground, and of
[00:20:28] course people. to navigate, it relies on cameras
[00:20:32] and sensors that precisely detect its
[00:20:35] surroundings.
[00:21:20] overwhelming, there's all the point cloud data, the stereo camera
[00:21:24] data, the GPS data, way too much for the robot to handle
[00:21:27] directly, so we have to extract the essential
[00:21:31] parts, which is what the tractor uses to drive, in simple terms,
[00:21:35] it's what it sees, and what it thinks is
[00:21:37] there,
[00:21:40] initial test runs showed the robot tractor is able to
[00:21:43] steer around obstacles like trees and lamp
[00:21:46] posts all its own, until...
[00:21:50] Suddenly it isn't and the team has to slam on the
[00:21:53] brakes, a pretty close
[00:21:55] call.
[00:22:00] The test will be carefully reviewed later to help the
[00:22:03] tractor become more autonomous. It's a
[00:22:06] step-by-step process of trial and
[00:22:09] error.
[00:22:12] For the next test, computer scientist Jacob will
[00:22:16] stand directly in the tractor's path.
[00:22:20] I programmed it, so if anyone has to suffer, it should be
[00:22:23] me.
[00:22:27] the day. This time the robot tractor
[00:22:30] recognizes its programmer and avoids
[00:22:33] him. For the team, the initial
[00:22:36] results are good
[00:22:38] news.
[00:22:42] As we saw, what works well is that it avoids people,
[00:22:46] it recognizes important obstacles and buildings and that's absolutely.
[00:23:20] incredible patience and persistence, the American declaring that genius is
[00:23:23] 1% inspiration and 99%
[00:23:26] perspiration. You also need to question existing
[00:23:30] conventions.
[00:23:35] That's what Ignaz Semmelweis did when he introduced hand disinfection
[00:23:38] before and after medical examinations.
[00:23:42] In 19th century Europe, the many women dying from infections after
[00:23:45] childbirth had previously been seen as an unavoidable
[00:23:48] tragedy.
[00:23:51] but here's something inventors don't necessarily need: above average
[00:23:54] intelligence, and what does that even mean? our viewer of
[00:23:58] Ormina from Peru had a question about
[00:24:00] that. How is IQ
[00:24:04] measured? IQ stands for intelligence
[00:24:08] quotient, but an IQ test doesn't actually measure
[00:24:11] how smart or educated someone is. The first IQ
[00:24:15] test was developed in the early 20th century by psychologist Alfred
[00:24:19] Binet. His goal was simple: he wanted to identify
[00:24:22] children who might need extra support in school. Today,
[00:24:26] an IQ score mainly reflects how well someone can solve complex
[00:24:30] problems, recognize patterns and process information
[00:24:33] quickly.
[00:24:35] There are many different kinds of IQ tests. A common
[00:24:39] task involves completing a sequence of words or
[00:24:42] numbers. Here, the goal is to spot the
[00:24:46] pattern and think analytically.
[00:24:49] And another task uses geometric shapes that must be arranged or
[00:24:53] completed. These tasks measure abstract
[00:24:56] thinking. The faster and more accurately someone solves
[00:24:59] them, the more points they earn. The final
[00:25:02] number at the end is their IQ
[00:25:04] score.
[00:25:07] Most people score somewhere around 100, but a
[00:25:10] score of 130 doesn't automatically make someone a genius,
[00:25:14] and 70 doesn't mean someone's
[00:25:16] unintelligent. The result may point to learning
[00:25:20] difficulties or simply show that a person is especially strong at
[00:25:23] solving logic problems.
[00:25:26] Today, IQ tests are used in job applications and in scientific
[00:25:30] research. They can show how well someone recognizes
[00:25:34] patterns, navigates spatial problems or
[00:25:37] works with
[00:25:38] language.
[00:25:42] But there's a lot they don't measure:
[00:25:45] creativity, social and emotional
[00:25:48] intelligence. or hands on practical
[00:25:51] skills.
[00:25:54] That's why IQ tests face ongoing criticism,
[00:25:58] especially since many of them are based on western academic
[00:26:01] norms. and a single number can never
[00:26:04] capture who a person truly
[00:26:06] is.
[00:26:10] what are stars made of? How many
[00:26:13] colors can butterflies see? Could
[00:26:16] robots have babies one day? Do you
[00:26:19] have a science question? then send it to us as a video, text or
[00:26:23] voice message. if we answer it in the show, then we'll send you a
[00:26:26] little gift as a thank you, so just
[00:26:29] ask.
[00:26:34] 'scientists sometimes borrow clever ideas from plants and animals
[00:26:37] and turn them into new inventions. That's
[00:26:40] exactly what researchers in Switzerland did. The result
[00:26:43] is a battery made from fungi that produces
[00:26:46] electricity, and once its job is done, biodegrades
[00:26:50] almost completely. Mushrooms and electricity.
[00:26:53] How does that work?
[00:26:58] a huge variety of species in almost.'
[00:27:02] every shape and
[00:27:05] color and flourish in some very unlikely
[00:27:07] places, some can even generate
[00:27:11] electricity. Working with researchers at Empa,
[00:27:14] Switzerland's Materials Science Institute, Carolina Rayas
[00:27:18] developed a fungal fuel cell or fungal battery. Getting two
[00:27:22] different fungi to work together took years of
[00:27:24] experimentation. This is breaking down
[00:27:28] nutrients that we give it on one side, and
[00:27:31] it generates a... charged particles called
[00:27:34] electrons and this is what goes from one
[00:27:37] side called the anode to the other side, uh, called the
[00:27:41] cathode, and on the other side we have this different kind of fungus
[00:27:45] called white rot. The
[00:27:47] team spent three years developing the fungal fuel cell. It
[00:27:51] was a delicate balancing act.
[00:27:54] Fungi are living organisms and need exactly the right
[00:27:58] conditions: not too warm, not too
[00:28:01] cold, not... too moist and not too
[00:28:04] dry.
[00:28:06] one of the biggest challenges was to try and make the
[00:28:10] electrode material and not kill the fungus
[00:28:13] in the mechanical process of
[00:28:16] mixing. The fungal cells are mixed into
[00:28:19] cellulose-based inks made conductive by carbon
[00:28:22] particles. A 3D printer then forms the two
[00:28:25] living electrodes at the heart of the fuel
[00:28:28] cell.
[00:28:31] a beeswax casing holds the cell
[00:28:33] together. add water and nutrients and the
[00:28:37] dormant fungi spring into action.
[00:28:40] The cell now begins producing electricity. Apart from
[00:28:43] its removable copper contacts, it's made from biodegradable
[00:28:47] materials. conventional batteries by
[00:28:50] contrast, need special collection and recycling, but
[00:28:54] many still end up in household
[00:28:55] waste.
[00:29:02] of electronic waste. This is
[00:29:05] where batteries like ours could perhaps play a
[00:29:07] part.
[00:29:11] One possible application is environmental
[00:29:14] monitoring: powering sensors that track
[00:29:17] temperature, soil moisture or water
[00:29:20] quality.
[00:29:25] tiny current, making it suitable only for very low
[00:29:29] energy sensors.
[00:29:40] He says that for now, fungal fuel cells can't compete with conventional
[00:29:44] batteries or rechargeable cells.
[00:29:48] Fungal batteries are still at the basic research stage, it will take years
[00:29:52] before they become commercially available, but they could eventually
[00:29:55] be useful for environmental sensors in places where recovering the
[00:29:59] devices is difficult, especially if the power source can bi.
[00:30:20] you can see this one has all already yeah started to fall
[00:30:23] apart.
[00:30:28] the fungal battery gradually biodegrades leaving behind
[00:30:31] little more than a tiny lump of
[00:30:33] compost.
[00:30:39] where can new discovery lead? Often, even the
[00:30:42] scientists behind it don't know where the journey will take
[00:30:45] them. Open independent research with no
[00:30:49] fixed outcome in mind has sparked countless
[00:30:51] innovations.
[00:30:54] but what happens when a breakthrough isn't just useful in civilian life,
[00:30:58] but could also be
