00:00:45emissions, a The triumph of the AfD: how Germany
00:00:48will change, the Black Sea, the Russian-Ukrainian
00:00:52war against food, Nepali guest workers, what
00:00:56Sherpas do in Norway.
00:01:10Greetings: the triumphant victory
00:01:13game, does that change our view of of the AfD in the state elections
00:01:14vessel, depends of in Saxony-Anhalt is a turning point for
00:01:16Germany, although it is one of the smallest federal
00:01:19states, the consequences of the elections are felt throughout
00:01:23the country. How do citizens react to the dominance
00:01:26of a party that is declared right-wing extremist in Saxony
00:01:30Anhalt and how the victory
00:01:33of the AfD changes their
00:01:35lives.
00:01:37Saxony-Anhalt, once part of communist East
00:01:40Germany. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, people
00:01:44massively emigrated from this province, especially young
00:01:48and better educated people. But a few years ago, the trend
00:01:51changed, more people are moving in again,
00:01:54looking for the benefits of life in smaller towns, affordable
00:01:58rents, and businesses they can
00:02:01develop. But is Saxony-Anhalt really a place for
00:02:04a permanent life? If the Alternative for Germany, which is
00:02:08considered extremist in this federal state, manages to take
00:02:12power, many will ask themselves if it wouldn't be better to
00:02:15go back. I know of people who
00:02:19then really want to move away. Ultimately, that is actually the
00:02:23breaking point.
00:02:26When Anja Reismann walks through town, someone always
00:02:30knows her. In this town, she knows almost
00:02:32everyone.
00:02:35Anja was born here, but she left very young. At that
00:02:39time, the place seemed small, boring to her. She lived
00:02:42in the Czech Republic and France, then near
00:02:45wanted to create like a virtual Munich.
00:02:54It feels like there are more people who want to do things, more young people. There's
00:02:58usually something going on almost every weekend.
00:03:01And Anja wanted to give back to the community. She founded an
00:03:04organization that brings people together. Every Monday
00:03:08afternoon, there's coffee, cakes, and fruit, and everyone
00:03:11is welcome.
00:03:17arise, so an older gentleman
00:03:21recently next to Asada from Afghanistan and then they
00:03:24found out, oh, we live on the same street, we are neighbors and
00:03:29encounter other characters and interact yes, she needed someone to help the children with their homework,
00:03:32he needed someone to help her with shopping and so they became
00:03:36friends, well, and those are such small
00:03:37things,
00:03:41i'm a cultural historian and most of but those little joys are now threatened. The Alternative for
00:03:44Germany won convincingly in the state elections and
00:03:48almost achieved an absolute majority. If it came to power,
00:03:51it would be the first time in post-war Germany that a
00:03:55right-wing extremist party would be at the head of a state. Anja
00:03:59Reismann and Tomas'.
00:04:11invested engagement in the city, in the town, in the country,
00:04:14and that really makes me angry. I know
00:04:18of people who then really
00:04:21want to move away, yes, so they clearly say, okay,
00:04:24if, if it's an AfD for the
00:04:27federal state, then I don't want to live here. There
00:04:30are people, especially from the migrant
00:04:33community, who see a
00:04:38what also they found in term of professional perspective here, perhaps also have a job offer,
00:04:40who are seriously considering, should I come to Saxony-Anhalt? And one
00:04:44scientific study shows that the shift to the right frightens
00:04:48skilled workers. Tomas and
00:04:50Anja certainly remain in Zeitz, although dissatisfied
00:04:54with the shift to the right, they notice that people are closing ranks.
00:04:58Those who were engaged in the community are now trying even harder to
00:05:02make Zeitz
00:05:04and showing us how we can make a an even better place.
00:05:06The Black Sea has become the front line in the war between
00:05:10Russia and Ukraine, a battleground where
00:05:13food is suffering, especially for the poorer
00:05:16regions of the world. The Black Sea
00:05:20route for grain transport from Ukrainian and Russian
00:05:23fields is being burdened by warring parties who deliberately
00:05:26attack ships with grain. Damaged
00:05:29vessels end up in Turkey, where a new
00:05:33business has flourished. At the
00:05:35Istanbul shipyard, there is a new, growing
00:05:39business, the repair of cargo ships damaged by
00:05:42Russian or Ukrainian forces. This grain carrier was the last
00:05:46target, one of several
00:05:49hundred ships hit in the Black Sea in recent
00:05:52months. Assistant Manager Omer Butun
00:05:56says the extent of the damage shows that the ship was attacked
00:05:59with the aim of killing the crew.
00:06:12no transportation means no earnings for the
00:06:16country, this is a big repair works
00:06:20and it's difficult for ship owners to repair the
00:06:23vessel or maybe scrap the
00:06:27the situation.
00:06:29Butun is already preparing to welcome the next damaged
00:06:32ship. On another part of the pier,
00:06:36a ship is setting sail. Captain Anar is making
00:06:40final checks.
00:06:43He often sails the Black Sea, but admits he is now
00:06:46afraid.
00:06:52Due to these events, it is very risky for seafarers.
00:06:55Who would risk their own life?
00:06:58How can I knowingly
00:06:59put myself at
00:07:03risk? In recent months, Ukraine and Russia have intensified
00:07:05attacks on cargo ships, targeting
00:07:09the very important grain exports. The Turkish
00:07:12Chamber of Shipping estimates that this year more than 160
00:07:15ships have been targeted, while about a hundred
00:07:18ships are currently seeking safety in Black Sea
00:07:22ports. Russia and Ukraine together account for more
00:07:25than a quarter of the world's wheat exports, a good portion of which goes
00:07:29to ports on the Black and Azov Seas.
00:07:33Ruthless attacks on ships and ports have almost completely
00:07:36paralyzed this trade route.
00:07:39While Moscow and Kyiv are trying to find alternative routes,
00:07:44international grain broker John
00:07:47Atpasoglu notes that prices are
00:07:50rising. highs on
00:08:04Highs on
00:08:06Friday.
00:08:12but it we can say it increased like
00:08:16almost 30% or 35% in the EU
00:08:19prices, but there is totally room for further
00:08:22increase. eventually it means more expensive wheat, more
00:08:25expensive flour and more expensive bread, so
00:08:29if we think about the big picture, it can mean inflation
00:08:32in the end. this is where uh governments
00:08:35of. Neither Ukraine nor
00:08:38Russia shows any sign of ending at least this fight over
00:08:43grain, on which the countries of the Middle East and Africa, some of
00:08:47the poorest in the world, depend. Thus,
00:08:49the price of the conflict is paid by those who absolutely cannot afford
00:08:53it.
00:08:55They are masters of their craft, they come from the roof of the world, from
00:08:59the Himalayas, and in Norway they build stairs to
00:09:03heaven. Well, towards heaven, not quite to
00:09:07heaven. They are the famous Sherpas, Nepali
00:09:10stonemasons, widely known for their skill in building stone
00:09:13staircases. But how did they end up in
00:09:17Scandinavia?
00:09:20Nima Sherpa is nearly 6,000 km from
00:09:24his home in Nepal. Every
00:09:27year, he travels to Norway with a team of other
00:09:29Sherpas. Together, they hand-build stone steps on
00:09:33some of Norway's most famous hiking
00:09:35trails.
00:09:48For almost 20 years, Sherpas, an indigenous people from
00:09:51the Himalayas, have been hand-building these Sherpa
00:09:54steps or Sherpa trails, as Norwegians
00:09:57call them.
00:10:00Today, these staircases to heaven have themselves become an attraction,
00:10:03bringing mountains closer to hikers of all ages and
00:10:06abilities.
00:10:10So far, they have completed more than 200 staircases, from
00:10:1410 to more than 4,000
00:10:16steps.
00:10:21How did Sherpas from Nepal end up building stone stairs
00:10:25in Norway?
00:10:28More than 20 years ago, carpenter Gehirveti
00:10:32was working on renovating a mountain farm, but the terrain was
00:10:35too steep for machinery, and the job too demanding for most
00:10:39workers. I could see that no one was strong
00:10:42enough, they were collapsing more or less
00:10:46after one or two days and was not able to help anymore, work
00:10:49anymore. So then
00:10:53one night I...
00:11:00Veti established contact with a Sherpa who worked on Everest
00:11:04expeditions. It was Nimin's
00:11:06father.
00:11:15Veti's dream came true, the Sherpas were skilled and capable
00:11:19of enduring hard physical
00:11:20labor.
00:12:00For Nima and his team, building these trails is more than just work,
00:12:04it is also a spiritual act.
00:12:08As Buddhists, above the stone paths they build, they place
00:12:11prayer flags, believing that the wind carries
00:12:14blessings and good wishes across the mountains.
00:12:18Bulgaria will be the center of the music world in a few months,
00:12:22with a victory at this year's Eurovision, the first in its
00:12:26history, Bulgaria automatically became the host of the next
00:12:29edition of the popular competition, specifically
00:12:32the city of Burgas, not Sofia, not Plovdiv, but
00:12:36Burgas, a tourist destination on the Black Sea coast,
00:12:40which faces an influx of fans of easy listening
00:12:44music. Is Burgas even ready for all
00:12:46this? After Dara won Eurovision this year
00:12:50with her song Bangaranga, the song
00:12:54contest for Vision 2027
00:12:57comes to Bulgaria, for the first time in history. The world's largest
00:13:01music competition will not be held in the capital
00:13:04Sofia, but in Burgas on the Black Sea coast. The fact that
00:13:08the city managed to win in competition with Sofia, Plovdiv
00:13:11and Varna, surprised many Bulgarians, but also residents of
00:13:15Burgas.
00:13:19For sure, Burgas will win. We have the sea, the airport is relatively
00:13:22close, a very nice hall.
00:13:33can bring significant economic benefits to host
00:13:36cities. Vienna, for example, in
00:13:392026, hosted about
00:13:41320,000 people at events related to
00:13:45Eurovision. A similar number of visitors could arrive
00:13:49in Burgas via the city's international airport. But
00:13:52once visitors arrive in Burgas, the situation becomes
00:13:56more complex. The city has neither a subway
00:14:00nor trams, most additional passengers will therefore
00:14:04have to be transported by buses.
00:14:06Currently, city buses transport up to
00:14:1072,000 passengers daily.
00:14:13The mayor of Burgas, Dimitar Nikolov, says that
00:14:16preparations for the additional influx of visitors are already
00:14:19underway. An open European city,
00:14:23a marine center.
00:14:25We have had the opportunity for many years to welcome
00:14:28nationalities, ethnicities and all kinds of people from all over the world,
00:14:32so with additional strengthening of transport
00:14:35logistics, even better connectivity between all
00:14:38settlements around Burgas, I
00:15:57more than 3 billion people regularly play digital
00:16:00games, including me, whether you are into strategy or
00:16:04action or realistic simulations, gamers...
00:16:07spoiled for choice, usually the aim is to get new high score, of
00:16:11course, but increasingly education, political
00:16:14issues and community empowerment have become a part of
00:16:17gaming too, but can you actually learn something while
00:16:21gaming?
00:16:26the Italian renaissance, vikings sailing the high seas,
00:16:30samurai in medieval japan. history games let us
00:16:33relive the past like it's an adventure. they are a mix
00:16:36of impressive love for detail and artistic
00:16:40freedom, like the Assassin's Creed series, which sold over
00:16:43230 million copies, but what happens
00:16:47when history turns into a
00:16:50the past? this is our chance to break out of Normandy, the battle of
00:16:54Normandy in Call of Duty, won't be
00:16:56easy, it feels authentic, but is it, and does it
00:17:00even have to be? so on
00:17:03the one hand, I don't think that games about history need
00:17:06to be... accurate: first of all, you play them for having fun,
00:17:10but on the other hand, the producers of digital games, they
00:17:13advertise it lot that they are so correct, they are so
00:17:16authentic, and and they do this by using something we call
00:17:20like photorealistic uh accuracy. in
00:17:24games like Assassin's Creed, players can explore ancient
00:17:27Egypt or Paris during the French Revolution, they can walk through
00:17:31virtual cities that almost seem real. in Call of Duty and
00:17:35Battlefield, players use detailed. and fight in
00:17:38locations where famous battles took place, that realism makes the
00:17:42games feel true even when the story
00:17:44isn't. if you play a
00:17:47game about the let's say the first world war, your
00:17:50authentic experience would be like sitting in the uh
00:17:54trench for several weeks, your foot is rotting
00:17:57away and then you put your head out of the trench, you get shot in the head and the game is
00:18:01over, so that that wouldn't be fun. balancing entertainment and
00:18:05historical accuracy is a challenge. games set in World War
00:18:08II often focus on combat, but the complex and
00:18:11painful reality of those times away from the Battlefields often
00:18:15gets neglected.
00:18:19It's hard to think about um how you could uh
00:18:22play the holocast um because normally playing we
00:18:26see playing something for for doing it for fun,
00:18:29but this led to the problem that the developers
00:18:33didn't mention the holocaust at all. Some independent
00:18:36game studio. have proven that even the bleakest chapters of history
00:18:40can become part of a game, and through the darkest of times, players lead
00:18:44fictional resistance group in Nazi era, Berlin, making
00:18:48hard choices to
00:18:49survive.
00:18:52We had to do something.
00:18:55Attentat 1942, developed by award-winning Czech game
00:18:58developers, focuses on Nazi occupation and
00:19:01persecution, and is mix of interactive storytelling and
00:19:05historically accurate events.
00:19:10like other media formats, digital games have become part of how
00:19:14we remember.
00:19:19the things i know about us history, i know from a
00:19:22TV series, the simpsons, we know that
00:19:25popular media help learning and and and and can foster
00:19:29learning, and what digital games, what digital games can do,
00:19:33they can be a door open, no matter how
00:19:36accurate these games are they will always leave a mark, after
00:19:39all, it feels like we're right in the middle of history, and that also has
00:19:43an impact on our brains. the experiences we have while
00:19:47gaming and the information we process tend to stick with us
00:19:50for longer. neuroscientist
00:19:53explains what exactly happens in our brains. what we
00:19:57know so far about the gaming that it
00:20:01improve the cognitive battery, so it's
00:20:04actually improve the working and memory of people.
00:20:07improve their performance in a different
00:20:11kind of cognitive task.
00:20:16the brain activity or the brain
00:20:19imaging is that there is better
00:20:22functional connectivity between the frontal area and the
00:20:26barrital area on the brain. if our brains
00:20:29switch up gear while we're gaming why not use that brain
00:20:32activity for something good like changing the world for the
00:20:35better. some games do so by taking on current issues
00:20:41difference.
00:20:43batting natural disasters and cutting emissions to help save a
00:20:47planet under pressure. climate games help raise
00:20:50awareness about the consequences of climate change. the
00:20:54crisis has become a major theme in the gaming
00:20:56industry.
00:20:59there are already several hundred titles addressing climate
00:21:02change from quizes to complex strategy
00:21:07them is imagine earth, a survival game where players build a
00:21:11sustainable civilization while managing environmental
00:21:14risks.
00:21:16climate change should be everywhere so... so it
00:21:20should also be in games and it's the most
00:21:23pressing matter of our times. what we wanted to
00:21:26create for players is this uh authentic
00:21:29experience, so everything that happens in the
00:21:32game, also the
00:21:35simulation, how you can compensate CO2 with
00:21:39forest etc. studies show that climate games can
00:21:42be powerful tools for learning. they help players
00:21:46understand complex systems, strengthen their sense of
00:21:49responsibility, and even inspire action, one eight
00:21:52gamers takes real world action based on what they have learned in
00:21:56games,
00:21:58but how accurate is the science behind these games
00:22:02really? we all created this in a
00:22:05way that it feels like this makes sense. it is not so much
00:22:09about data
00:22:12or precise calculations, it is more
00:22:14about the experience. other
00:22:18games address young people's
00:22:21so-called eco anxiety. In Canada, for example,
00:22:2480% of 16 to 25 year olds say that
00:22:28anxiety about climate change affects their mental
00:22:31health. This inspired psychology
00:22:34professor Stefania Maji to develop an adventure game that helps
00:22:37players become more eco-conscious. It
00:22:41also helps them to better cop with
00:22:41their
00:22:46emotions. We hope that the people who
00:22:50are playing this game. also go through this journey,
00:22:53this hero's journey and and the
00:22:56process feeling more equipped and with
00:22:59greater quality, motivated to do
00:23:03something as part of the climate crisis.
00:23:06games really can have an impact, like raising our
00:23:08awareness about the environment. some games
00:23:12focus on other areas like building cultural bridges. a
00:23:15Syrian German designer has developed a game that lets players
00:23:18experience a virtual pilgrimage in order to to better
00:23:22understand what religious beliefs mean to people. I was
00:23:26longing to go to Mecca, but I
00:23:30didn't have the means and I thought maybe other people as well, so I
00:23:35representation of the physical place, like in a true to scale
00:23:38environment, and you can visit this place from the comfort of your
00:23:41home. In this game, players embark a virtual
00:23:44pilgrimage, by completing quests, they can explore
00:23:48the Islamic world and learn more about its history and...
00:23:51culture: me, myself, being grown up
00:23:55with like gaming consoles and video games, I thought Muslims
00:23:58were depicted in a in a negative or very
00:24:02superficial way, so I wanted to create something where Muslims
00:24:06can identify with themselves in the game, also in a positive
00:24:09manner. continues to refine his game to make the experience
00:24:13even more immersive, you also
00:24:19with them, so you can change your appearance in a way that... to really identify
00:24:23yourself with this character, because you want to be part of this game, you can,
00:24:26you want to be part of the story. this is
00:24:29his way of helping to break down
00:24:30prejudice against
00:24:35Muslims. I strongly believe that
00:24:38this prejudice and this animosity comes
00:24:41from the lack of knowledge, from ignorance. Maybe we can bridge
00:24:45this gap by giving them like accessible, a playful way to learn
00:24:49something about the religion. These games are important. UN experts have
00:24:52warned that globally islamophobia has reached
00:24:55alarming levels, the far right has long been using
00:24:59games to spread their views and even recruit new people.
00:25:02Conflict researcher Lars Vigold studies radical online
00:25:05communities, especially within digital gaming. Here he
00:25:09explains why games are so
00:25:10attractive to the far
00:26:02right. came about during that time, a
00:26:06disturbing game that was secretly shared despite being
00:26:09banned. another example is the great rebellion
00:26:13from 2024. this run and gun game is set in a
00:26:16dystopian Europe where players fight against a
00:26:19multicultural elite. a digital
00:26:23dictatorship that owns everything.
00:26:26extremists don't even need to build their own games, they often use
00:26:29existing ones for their purposes. The third aspect
00:26:33is simply this large gaming ecosystem, it offers
00:26:36countless ways to influence others.
00:26:40some games allow players to design their own worlds, like minecraft,
00:26:44one of the most popular games in the world. here extremists have
00:26:47built virtual concentration camps and avatars of
00:26:50hitler. far right symbols can also be found
00:26:54on roblox. most games have moderators and
00:26:58community guidelines, but not everything gets flagged or
00:27:00removed.

00:28:05change. Having fun whilst learning, that doesn't sound too bad, does

00:29:39White and black. Social
00:29:41hierarchies have been built around skin color for centuries.
00:29:45It's been used to justify colonialism, slavery and
00:29:48discrimination. Stereotypes based on skin are
00:29:52still all too common, but how did different skin colors arise in the
00:29:55first place? A viewer from Camaroon sent in a great
00:29:58question.
00:30:01This time around. It's all about evolution and history.
00:30:05Welcome to Tomorrow
00:30:06Today.
00:30:11Why do people have different skin
00:30:13colors? All early humans had dark
00:30:17skin back when our species migrated out of Africa between
00:30:20100 thousand and 70,00 years
00:30:23ago. Lighter pigmentation evolved much later.
00:30:26Even 5,000 years ago, Utsi, the famous iceman
00:30:30discovered in the Alps, had a dark... skin tone than present day
00:30:34Europeans. The reason involves two forms
00:30:38of melanin, pigments that dictate the color of our
00:30:41eyes, skin and hair.
00:30:45Melanin protects your skin from UV radiation.
00:30:49It's produced in specialized skin cells called
00:30:51melanocides. When enough UV light strikes the
00:30:55skin, it initiates melanin production. The
00:30:58pigment absorbs.
