00:00:00uh his child eats alone, then it is a relief
00:00:04for him. The goal of the Biser association is to make
00:00:07users independent, and what is most important to us is that if our
00:00:10user, who is over
00:00:1320 years old, does not know how to read or write, then they should learn to
00:00:17dress themselves or clean the room, make the bed or
00:00:21wash clothes. So, we teach them in the day care center skills that are
00:00:25important for their independence and for life later, right
00:00:28when they leave. families, in the future
00:00:31Biser plans to implement a supported housing project, which
00:00:35simultaneously represents the ultimate goal of the association, which
00:00:38is more independent functioning of users. communities
00:00:42where users live, for example, four of them live at home
00:00:45alone and they have housekeepers who visit them, who are on duty every eight
00:00:49take turns during the day, they
00:00:53then live alone, that is a permanent solution for their independence
00:00:56without parents. Good deeds must not go unnoticed.

00:01:24it's not pure. Much of
00:01:34moving mountains at the push of a
00:01:36button.
00:01:40It might sound like science fiction, but in the Swiss
00:01:43Alps, it may soon become reality. In the
00:01:46Gothard massive, researchers at the University of Zeric
00:01:50hope to trigger a small earthquake. If it
00:01:53works, it could reveal more about how earthquakes
00:01:56start, and whether they can be predicted.
00:02:02'all this and more groundbreaking stories on DW's science
00:02:06show, welcome to tomorrow
00:02:08today,
00:02:14the big moment is just days away, researchers at
00:02:18ETHH Zuric University are hoping to do something that's never been done
00:02:22in quite this way before, deliberately triggering a small
00:02:25earthquake,
00:02:28but first there's still'. plenty of work to
00:02:30do.
00:02:33A narrow road leads two and a half kilometers deep into the
00:02:36Gottat. The Bedreto tunnel underneath the mountain
00:02:40range is more than 50 years old and no longer in
00:02:43use, and now it's a perfect natural
00:02:46laboratory. Here the team hopes to make ancient fault
00:02:50deep inside the rock slip ever so
00:02:52slightly.
00:02:54We're here because of this fault zone. You can see the boundary here
00:02:57clearly, a thin line.
00:04:00sensors inside the mountain, hoping to capture every moment of the
00:04:03earthquake as it
00:04:04unfolds.
00:04:08Here's how they plan to trigger it: the fault has
00:04:11slipped naturally before, producing tiny
00:04:15this seemingly humble mineral is one of earthquakes.
00:04:18To reach it, the team has excavated new tunnel branching
00:04:22but table salt accounts for only a off from the bajo lab.
00:04:26From here, they'll pump water through three bore holes directly.
00:04:30to the fault.
00:04:33As water pressure increases, the rock begins to shift. The
00:04:36existing stresses in the rock are released, triggering
00:04:40micro earthquake.
00:04:44Using six high pressure pumps, they'll inject around
00:04:472,000 cubic meters of water into the bore holes to bring
00:04:51the fault to the point where it slips.
00:04:55The pump system operates at pressures approaching 200 bar,
00:04:58demanding test.
00:05:09alg is often called the super food of
00:05:42the control room at eth where the experiment will be
00:05:46run.
00:05:49we're about to launch the first full scale experiment. it's
00:05:52exciting.
00:05:55two weeks later, the control room in zuric. in just few
00:05:59minutes the test will
00:06:00begin.
00:06:05one last systems check at the lab 100 km
00:06:09away.
00:06:12yeah, angespannt, it's been a busy night and morning, but
00:06:16everything looks good and we're
00:06:18ready to go. the researchers are
00:06:22optimistic, the pumps are ready and the safety
00:06:24systems
00:06:27are in place. so this is button is to um
00:06:30manually stop the pump uh so we can press this button, once we have it pressed
00:06:34for about 8 seconds, the pumps in the tunnel will stop
00:06:37automatically, and this is safety procedure that will allow
00:06:40to have a bit more control.
00:06:43"the last members of the team have just left the tunnel, this
00:06:47is team two and that's pressure up by one
00:06:49megapascal. here we
00:06:51go,
00:06:58the pumps are starting up, forcing water deep into the bore
00:07:01holes.
00:07:05the data stream to zeric is running smoothly,
00:07:09just in case, now comes the weight. watching
00:07:13the instruments and waiting for the fault to
00:07:16slip.
00:07:19pressure inside the fault continues to rise approaching 100
00:07:23bar.
00:07:26then suddenly a flood of new data
00:07:28appears. deep inside the mountain, something has
00:07:32begun to
00:07:32move.
00:07:36we've already detected and located more than a thousand quakes since we started
00:07:40the simulation.
00:08:42the mini earthquake they've been
00:08:44waiting
00:08:50for, deep beneath the alps lies a resource prized for
00:08:54thousands of
00:08:54years,
00:08:58salt, it's mined by pumping water
00:09:02underground or cut directly from the rock, often
00:09:05called white gold, its story began earth's ancient
00:09:08oceans,
00:09:12"the story of this salt began 250 million years
00:09:15ago, today that salt lies deep
00:09:19underground,
00:09:22and we rely on salt in more ways than ever before.
00:09:28the key raw materials of modern
00:09:29life,
00:09:35tiny fraction of its use. most salt doesn't land on our
00:09:39plates.
00:09:41it's found in product." we use every day, without sodium
00:09:45chloride, many aspects of modern life simply wouldn't
00:09:48work, so how does such a simple substance
00:09:52become so incredibly versatile? the
00:09:55key lies in a chemical process that transforms it into
00:09:58three essential chemical building blocks. chlorine is
00:10:02used to make plastics like pvc,
00:10:04medications, a wide range of chemical products and to
00:10:08disinfect drinking water.
00:10:11cost. is used to produce aluminum, paper and textiles
00:10:15and much more.
00:10:19hydrogen is a byproduct used mainly in industry and
00:10:22increasingly as an energy carrier.
00:10:29One raw material, countless
00:10:31products.
00:10:36In Germany, salt is an important natural resource, and the country
00:10:39produces average of 18 million tons of salt every
00:10:43year.
00:10:45Most of domestic demand is met from these deposits and large
00:10:49amounts of salt are exported every
00:10:51year.
00:10:56Today's salt deposits formed many millions of years
00:10:59ago. Back then a shallow sea
00:11:03covered large parts of central
00:11:05Europe.
00:11:08Shifting tectonic plates created isolated seas and salt
00:11:11lakes. As the water evaporated into the hot
00:11:15arid climate, the dissolved salts
00:11:18crystallized. Eventually layers of salt were buried
00:11:21under sediment and younger rock over and over again.
00:11:26Today salt deposits in the form of sodium chloride stretch beneath
00:11:30northern and central Germany, it's mined and
00:11:33then processed, but not all salt is the
00:11:37same. Sodium chloride is only part of the
00:11:39story. There are also potassium rich salts, the most
00:11:43important raw material for potash fertilizer, but
00:11:49the ore consists of rock salt and other minerals that must be
00:11:52processed and separated.
00:11:56These deposits are concentrated in Central
00:11:59Germany. Potassium is an essential
00:12:03nutrient for plants. That's why potache salts are used around
00:12:07the world to make fertilizers.
00:12:10Potache salts dissolve in the soil, releasing potassium
00:12:14that helps plants use water efficiently and also
00:12:17resist drought, frost and
00:12:19disease, and that in turn increases the
00:12:23quantity and quality of the heart.
00:12:29but potash mining also has a downside, only
00:12:33part of the ore is used, while huge quantities remain as solid
00:12:37and liquid residues.
00:12:40Over the decades, huge waste heaps have built up as some mining
00:12:43sites.
00:12:46The KNS mining company, for example extracts up to 40
00:12:50million tons of potassium rich ore
00:12:52year.
00:12:55After processing, that becomes just 9.5 million tons of
00:12:58marketable products. Most of the mined material ends up
00:13:02as waste. At just one site in central
00:13:06Germany, hundreds of millions of tons of residue are stored in
00:13:10towering heaps, with official approval.
00:13:14Rain washes salt from those heaps, creating waste water
00:13:17that's discharged into the Verra River. Liquid
00:13:21processing residues also end up there.
00:13:25Salt is raw material essential to much of modern
00:13:28life. It helps power our world and reshape
00:13:31it. The question is, at what
00:13:35cost?
00:13:42This river has a problem, and you can measure
00:13:45it.
00:13:47Biologist Andre Bush and his colleagues are searching for life in
00:13:51Nevaga.
00:13:55decades, environmental authorities have been tracking salt levels here
00:13:59and what they're doing to the plants and animals that depend on this
00:14:02river. Under the EU Water Framework
00:14:05directive, rivers are graded a five-point scale. Here at
00:14:09Galstungen, the Vera is currently rated as being in poor environmental
00:14:13condition.
00:14:16One of the biggest reasons is salt. For decades,
00:14:19potash mining has discharged sailing water into the
00:14:23river. The result is salt.
00:14:55gut weed, their abundance is another clear sign of the
00:14:58river's high salt
00:14:59content.
00:15:02By now, things should be different. Under EU
00:15:05rules, rivers and lakes are supposed to be in good condition by
00:15:092027.
00:15:11That's essential for clean drinking water and healthy
00:15:14ecosystems.
00:15:21Further upstream, which isn't affected by the salen discharge.
00:15:47It's a glimpse of what the vega could become if salt levels were much
00:15:48lower.
00:15:53Further downstream though, the discharges are set to
00:15:56continue. The KNS mining company has long faced
00:16:00criticism over the pollution, but says it's working to reduce its
00:16:03environmental impact.
00:16:07One major project is a more environmentally friendly processing
00:16:11system, designed to eliminate liquid production
00:16:14waste. KNS declined our request for an
00:16:18interview. In a written statement, the company
00:16:21said, when disposing of solid
00:16:24residues, we are also continuously minimizing our
00:16:27environmental impact and using state of the art
00:16:30technology.
00:16:35The company's main solution is cover. the waste heaps, layers
00:16:39of plastic liner, soil and vegetation are designed
00:16:42to keep rainwater out, preventing salt from entering the
00:16:46river, but critics question whether it will work in
00:16:50the long run.
00:16:53reducing the river salt pollution is technically difficult and
00:16:57expensive, and the company says the problem can't be eliminated
00:17:01completely. the authorities have repeatedly renewed the
00:17:04discharge permits, although with progressively tighter.
00:17:07limits.
00:17:10Salt levels in Neva have fallen, but the river still
00:17:14has a long way to
00:17:15go.
00:17:19Salt can also have healing properties. Salt
00:17:23brine has been used in spars for
00:17:25centuries.
00:17:29Now it's helping to grow sea lettuce, bringing a
00:17:32taste of the sea closer to
00:17:34home. Forget.

00:20:47the future. it also's contains iodine,
00:20:51a trace element our thyroid gland needs to function,
00:20:55but in Germany and many other countries, millions of people still don't
00:20:58get enough iodine, and here too, salt can be part of the
00:21:01solution.
00:21:05around one and three people in Germany may not be getting enough
00:21:09iodine, often without realizing it. experts
00:21:12have been warning about the problem for years. jokenfel
00:21:16is doctor who's campaigning to improve iodine intake in Germany.
00:21:21The situation has worsened because of lower iodi salt
00:21:24consumption. The main problem is the food industry, which still
00:21:28relies mostly on ordinary salt. As a result, we're
00:21:31getting less iodine from our food.
00:21:35We've now reach the point where Germany once again meets the WHO
00:21:39criteria for iodine deficiency.
00:21:42Both west and east Germany began using iodized salt much more
00:21:46widely in the 1980s. By then scientists. already
00:21:50understood how important iodine is for health.
00:21:54iodine is a trace element we need to get from
00:21:56food.
00:21:59the thyroid gland uses it to produce the hormones t3 and
00:22:02t4 which act on almost every cell in the
00:22:05body.
00:22:11these hormones help regulate the cardiovascular system and blood
00:22:15pressure and support cell growth and
00:22:17development. that's why the important for healthy bones
00:22:21and for the development of the brain and nervous
00:22:24system. they also help regulate metabolism, which
00:22:28influences body weight. too little
00:22:31iodine over time can lead to health problems.
00:22:34radiologist melva abell often sees thyroid nodules in her
00:22:38patients. long-term iodine deficiency can be one
00:22:42factor in their development.
00:22:45the thyroid can enlarge and that may contribute to nodules
00:22:48developing over time.
00:23:20but if the thyroid can no longer produce enough hormones,
00:23:23symptoms may include feeling cold, dry
00:23:26skin, hair loss, weight gain
00:23:29as well as low mood and problems with memory and
00:23:32concentration. Over the long term, iodine
00:23:36deficiency can cause what's known as a goider. For
00:23:39adults, the WHO recommends a daily intake of
00:23:42150 micrograms.
00:23:465 grams of iodized salt provides roughly 100%
00:23:59We shouldn't eat too much salt, of course, it can raise blood
00:24:02pressure, but when we do use salt, it should be
00:24:05iodized.
00:24:14The iodine content in salt is slightly higher.
00:24:15will be.
00:24:21much of it comes from processed foods such as
00:24:24bread, cold cuts and cheese, and seasoning
00:24:27mixes, but manufacturers usually use
00:24:30ordinary salt rather than iodized salt. cost is one
00:24:34reason, so we may be eating plenty of salt, but
00:24:38still not getting enough iodine. nutrition specialist constanza
00:24:42losa says cooking more meals from scratch can
00:24:44help. cook at home and eat mainly fresh,
00:24:48minimally processed foods rather than...
00:25:20contain very little iodine. A
00:25:22diet based mainly on fresh unprocessed foods provides
00:25:26about 120 micrograms of iodine a day.
00:25:29Fish and seaweed are naturally rich sources of iodine, but in
00:25:33Germany most people don't eat them regularly.
00:25:37Milk, dairy products and eggs also provide small amounts,
00:25:41partly because iodine is added to animal
00:25:43feed.
00:25:46Fruit and vegetables generally contain very little in much of Germany.
00:26:32Severe iodine deficiency during pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause
00:26:36lasting developmental problems, even a mild
00:26:39deficiency may affect a child's brain
00:26:41development.
00:26:44Studies suggest that children who received too little iodine in the
00:26:48womb may later do less well in areas such as reading
00:26:51comprehension.
00:26:53Some studies have also found slightly lower IQ
00:26:56scores. That's why adequate iodine is important for
00:27:00the developing brain.
00:27:03And for many people, iodized salt is still the simplest
00:27:07way to get more
00:27:08iodine.
00:27:13That wraps things up this time around. Thanks for joining us and
00:27:16hope to see you next time tomorrow today. Bye for now.
00:27:32Almost on every street, in every street of the old
00:27:36city center of Zaječar, one can

00:27:43is the city with the most fountains, perhaps
00:27:46in Europe. For example, Khartoum in Sudan has
00:27:50two white-water rivers, the Blue and White Nile, which merge to form the Great Nile.
00:27:54Well, we are one of the rare cities in the world, or so I've heard, that has both
