00:00:19Good afternoon, you are watching the N1 TV noon news, followed by a review of
00:00:22the most important events of
00:00:23the day.
00:00:28The election campaign is accelerating, students on bicycles
00:00:32with the constitution continue their tour of Serbia. The
00:00:35European Serbia
00:00:37coalition is also joining the campaign today.
00:00:42At 60 locations in Belgrade, Ne-Bitef,
00:00:45a self-organized festival of the artistic community under the slogan Bitef
00:00:49is where we
00:00:50gather, is beginning.
00:00:53In the largest attack on Moscow since
00:00:56Fungi. They come in the beginning of the war, two people were killed, victims in a Russian attack on Kyiv.
00:01:10region. As part of the pre-election campaign, a
00:01:13ten-day cycling tour is underway in which two teams visit
00:01:16different parts of the country and talk to citizens,
00:01:19promoting the student list, students win, and its plan
00:01:23on October 25.
00:01:27The cycling tour, called the Guardians of the Constitution, began
00:01:30on September 17 from Belgrade, when two teams carrying copies of the constitution
00:01:34set off for different parts of
00:01:37It's the most important test of Serbia. Today, one team from Užice should arrive in Kraljevo, and the other from
00:01:41Kikinda in Subotica. And this is what the welcome in
00:01:45Užice
00:01:45looked like last night.
00:01:54The President of the National Assembly in a technical
00:01:57mandate, Ana Brnabić, said that this
00:02:01format of campaigning suggests that you view politics as a
00:02:04game. How do you respond? Well,
00:02:07I, I honestly think that this is actually something completely different. We take this
00:02:10very seriously and we have taken this too seriously, this is just to
00:02:14show our emotion, how many really
00:02:17good people there are with us and honest ones, so I think it's enough to
00:02:21say that 29 citizens who live in this city could not
00:02:24pass through the city square and the main street, tonight,
00:02:28of course, everyone is welcome to come and support our colleagues, the student
00:02:32list will return
00:02:34all those institutions that have been taken from the people
00:02:38to the people.
00:02:42The coalition European Serbia, consisting of the Party
00:02:45of Freedom and Justice, Serbia Center, and the Citizens' Movement Solidarity, which
00:02:49submitted its signatures to the Republican Election Commission yesterday, is starting its campaign.
00:02:52SSP Vice President Marinika Tepić says that their priority is the continuation of European
00:02:56integration, the return of the rule of law, and a ruthless crackdown on
00:03:00corruption and crime. Dragan Đilas states that the best way
00:03:03to change the current government is for as many people as
00:03:07possible to vote on October 25, and he believes that
00:03:10a larger number of options contributes the most to this, that three opposition
00:03:14lists are key to victory. However, SSP officials Borko
00:03:18Stefanović, Jelena Milošević, Vladimir Vesjakov, and Goran
00:03:21Petrović, as well as Peđa Mitrović and Mila
00:03:23The prototype generates only a Popović, believe that it is a better choice to support the student list,
00:03:26as do members of the presidency of the Serbia Center party,
00:03:30Slobodan Petrović and Boško Šindić, who withdrew from the European
00:03:33Serbia list. This happens in politics, say European
00:03:37Serbia.
00:03:40They said that they no longer support this policy and are leaving the
00:03:44party, so that's that, it happens in politics, this dramatic
00:03:47period for our paths to diverge, that is quite legitimate. From our side,
00:03:51there will be no harsh words, as far as I've seen, there were no harsh words even from
00:03:55the people who decided to get off at this station. Thank you all
00:03:58for everything. They have endured until now, thank you to those who have
00:04:02a different opinion from us, I think that if we want to build a different
00:04:06Serbia, we must get used to the fact that democracy
00:04:09implies the right to different opinions,
00:04:13they remain comrades in arms, and as far as we are concerned, absolutely
00:04:17yes.
00:04:19And the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, who is the bearer and first on the list of
00:04:23the Serbian Progressive Party,
00:04:26Apart from the copper contacts, most of announced his resignation as president. He reiterated this morning that if he
00:04:29becomes prime minister, the government will have 12 ministers,
00:04:32adding that he will do his best to replace at least
00:04:3650% of mayors and municipal presidents in Serbia three months after
00:04:40the government is formed, because he says they did not want to listen to
00:04:44run on campus, it drives in the citizens but were thinking about themselves. He reiterates that he will resign
00:04:48on September 27. There are still things he needs to
00:04:51take out of the presidency because he wants the future acting
00:04:55president of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, to find an empty
00:04:58office so that she can immediately take office when he resigns
00:05:02on September 27.
00:05:06Miloš Jovanović, the holder of the list of candidates for deputies of the Authentic
00:05:09Right in the elections on October 25, assesses that it is
00:05:13necessary to redefine Serbia's relations with the European Union.
00:05:17That is why the Authentic Right, unlike all others, clearly
00:05:20states: cooperation with the European Union, yes, membership
00:05:24no, says
00:05:25Jovanović.
00:05:29Environmental organizations are calling for a redefinition of policy towards
00:05:33geological research and mining. At a protest held
00:05:36last night in Belgrade, they demanded a moratorium on all contracts that the
00:05:39state has concluded regarding research and mining,
00:05:42until their content and consequences are reviewed. These are
00:05:46contracts for research at more than 200
00:05:48locations.
00:05:53The natural resources of this country, for which our
00:05:56grandfathers bled and died, the
00:06:00government has now decided to sell off
00:06:04to foreigners, no more no less than for some
00:06:07paltry mining rent. From this
00:06:10place, we jointly declare, it will
00:06:14not be possible, this is our country, this is not
00:06:17private property, Canadian and American companies
00:06:21sold the Čukaru Peki mine to the Chinese,
00:06:23and that's why when they tell you that
00:06:27anyone from ecological movements
00:06:30represents the interests of Western or some
00:06:33other powers from the East, BRICS, whatever they
00:06:36call it, know that they are lying to you, that it is the narrative
00:06:39of the companies of the corrupt government.
00:06:48At 60 locations in Belgrade, Ne-Bitef,
00:06:51a self-organized festival of the artistic community under the slogan Bitef is
00:06:55where we gather, is starting, in protest against the pressures
00:06:59from the government to which the Belgrade International
00:07:02Theater Festival is exposed. Bitef suffers various forms of financial,
00:07:06programmatic, and administrative repression, becoming an example of the kidnapping
00:07:09of public cultural heritage by an autocratic government, stated
00:07:13the organizers of Ne-Bitef. They state that this year's edition
00:07:16brings a collective festival of micro-scenes that will welcome
00:07:20visitors across the city from
00:07:2312 to 18 hours with free
00:07:26entry to all locations.
00:07:29Radar journalist Radmila Stanković told N1
00:07:33that the government is destroying festivals and will continue
00:07:36to do so until the elections. In this situation,
00:07:40it's just proof that until
00:07:44the elections, absolutely every
00:07:47voice in culture, every phenomenon in culture, every
00:07:51opportunity to say something, or
00:07:54to address, is to be destroyed. This has been
00:07:57done quite successfully with education,
00:08:00and naturally with culture.
00:08:03Now everyone in this area resists in the
00:08:07way they can, and I think that
00:08:10Ne- Bitef
00:08:13is another proof, just as the Niš Film Festival
00:08:16was, uh, that it is possible, for me that is
00:08:19the greatest success,
00:08:21it can be done.
00:08:26Four children and the driver were injured in a traffic accident that occurred
00:08:30on the Mojkovac Kolašin highway, involving
00:08:33a bus transporting students from a Podgorica
00:08:36elementary school. The Montenegrin police unofficially
00:08:40stated that the traffic accident occurred when a rockslide occurred, which the
00:08:44driver tried to avoid and then hit a rock on the right
00:08:47side of the road. The bus driver, a Serbian citizen who
00:08:51has a temporary residence and work permit in Montenegro, was arrested on
00:08:55suspicion of committing a serious offense against public traffic
00:08:59safety.
00:09:05And the world. Ukraine carried out its largest drone attack on
00:09:09the Russian capital since the start of the war. At least two
00:09:12people were killed and six were injured in the attack. The mayor
00:09:16of Moscow said that several drones reached the Moscow oil refinery, and
00:09:20that one hit a residential building. The head of the Moscow
00:09:23region stated that two people were killed and 400 people
00:09:26were evacuated from a residential building, and a large number of
00:09:30houses were also damaged. In a Russian drone attack on Kyiv, on the other hand,
00:09:34a private house was hit, and a woman and her two
00:09:37children were killed in the attack.
00:09:41And that's all for this news overview, stay with N1.
00:10:07No endless scrolling, no mindless violence,
00:10:10no porn in late.
00:10:13Australia introduced the world's first age limit for social
00:10:16media. If you're under 16, the likes of
00:10:19Instagram, YouTube and TikTok are off limits, but more
00:10:23than 80% of teenagers still use them thanks also to the
00:10:26platforms making it child's play to circumvent the
00:10:29ban.
00:10:32It's hardly difficult when the age check is just one question: are
00:10:36you over 16? yes or
00:10:38no?
00:10:41however old you are, welcome to DW Science show tomorrow
00:10:45today.
00:10:51a few hand gestures and moments later you know whether someone is
00:10:55over or under 18,
00:10:58the French startup Needmand launched the border age service in December
00:11:022025.
00:11:06it sounds a little crazy, how does it work? it might sound
00:11:10hard to believe, but it's science, not
00:11:12magic. to take the test, users need a
00:11:16camera and must copy several hand movements, an AI
00:11:19system then analyzes them. The company
00:11:23says the technology is based on medical.
00:11:55and according to the company is now 99%
00:11:58accurate. We have customers in three sectors:
00:12:02social media, adult websites and dating platforms and we're in
00:12:06contact with Google, TikTok and
00:12:07Meta.
00:12:10Needmand system is currently calibrated for age
00:12:1318. The startup also plans to adapt the product to the
00:12:17thresholds of 15 and
00:12:1816.
00:12:21What makes the method appealing is that users do not have to dis'.
00:13:55demand for both privacy and child
00:13:57protection.
00:14:01what are germany's inventors typically working on these
00:14:04days? Transport and engineering are strong,
00:14:08but it's the auto industry that, according to the German patent office is
00:14:12the top driver of
00:14:13innovation.
00:14:16pot holes after winter, they're everywhere. that means
00:14:20more road works and more traffic jams. Overweight
00:14:23trucks are particularly hard on
00:14:25roads.
00:14:28That's why the police carry out spot checks. Often they
00:14:32find the overloaded trucks also have brake defects,
00:14:36but this truck can inspect itself in real time. Mechanical
00:14:40engineers at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and their partners have
00:14:44transformed it into a mobile laboratory.
00:14:48Here we monitor signals from the truck's running gear. The
00:14:51sensors are mounted beneath the trailer.
00:14:56This is the connector, it leads back to our data recording
00:14:59unit, so this is the sensor, its data shows whether
00:15:03wheel loads are too high or too low and exactly where
00:15:06our current models can also detect brake defects such
00:15:10as a brake failing,
00:15:13also that on one side of the axle, for example, a brake fails.
00:15:16The engineer has already fitted prototypes to five trucks now
00:15:20traveling across western, but he
00:15:23manipulates the brakes for testing.
00:16:37a prototype in western Germany. The sensors show exactly
00:16:41how the load is spread across the
00:16:43axles.
00:16:45everything remains in the safe
00:16:47range.
00:16:49previously he had to weigh his truck before and after
00:16:52loading.
00:16:56we no longer have to weigh the truck before and after because the
00:17:00system displays the weight. that saves us 10 to 20 minutes each
00:17:04time. by the end of the day that means at least one extra trip.
00:17:12The monitoring system can also help truck drivers avoid fines for
00:17:15overweight loads, the system should soon be available to
00:17:19interested
00:17:20buyers.
00:17:24The goal is to put it into practical use and get it onto the road,
00:17:27instead of letting the research disappear into a drawer. We're
00:17:31currently working with partners to industrialize the system by the end of
00:17:342026.
00:17:38The researchers estimate that the system will cost a few hundred
00:17:41euros. At any time, truck drivers
00:17:45could use a phone to view load distribution, tire wear,
00:17:49and brake defects.
00:17:51Sensors beneath the trailer would also gather data on road
00:17:55conditions.
00:18:00As we drive along the road, an oscillating movement develops here, that
00:18:04allows us to assess the condition of the road surface.
00:18:07be fun. AI would continuously analyze the road
00:18:11condition data. As
00:18:14more trucks adopt the system, road crews would know far more
00:18:17precisely which routes need to be repaired
00:18:20first.
00:18:24Leaving the road for the field, we keep rolling with an
00:18:28AI powered tractor that operates completely its own without a
00:18:31driver.
00:18:35here it is, robot track. programmed
00:18:38to detect and avoid any obstacle all its
00:18:41own, but will it work? At
00:18:45the technical university of Kaiserslautern and Landau, the
00:18:48robot tractor is already driving safely from the barn to
00:18:52the field, at least in a computer simulation,
00:18:55mechanical engineer Ika Gasson helped develop it,
00:18:59now he and his colleagues are ready to test it outdoors.
00:19:02Over the past few months, Costton Barens and his team have
00:19:06packed the machine. AI systems, the goal is to build
00:19:10a tractor robot that can independently monitor, sow
00:19:13and cultivate crops.
00:19:17We're not starting from scratch, we've added things that
00:19:20we already tested on other vehicles, and we also
00:19:24bought products that are already on the market. The big
00:19:28challenge is integrating all the
00:19:29subcomponents.
00:19:33The scientists at the German university have a lot of
00:19:36experience.
00:20:07system around the vehicle can also be activated via
00:20:10radio and laser
00:20:12scanner.
00:20:14the robot tractor can even decide its own to hit the emergency
00:20:18brake. during this test
00:20:22a loop, spotting obstacles like trees,
00:20:25lamps, buildings, uneven ground, and of
00:20:28course people. to navigate, it relies on cameras
00:20:32and sensors that precisely detect its
00:20:35surroundings.
00:21:20overwhelming, there's all the point cloud data, the stereo camera
00:21:24data, the GPS data, way too much for the robot to handle
00:21:27directly, so we have to extract the essential
00:21:31parts, which is what the tractor uses to drive, in simple terms,
00:21:35it's what it sees, and what it thinks is
00:21:37there,
00:21:40initial test runs showed the robot tractor is able to
00:21:43steer around obstacles like trees and lamp
00:21:46posts all its own, until...
00:21:50Suddenly it isn't and the team has to slam on the
00:21:53brakes, a pretty close
00:21:55call.
00:22:00The test will be carefully reviewed later to help the
00:22:03tractor become more autonomous. It's a
00:22:06step-by-step process of trial and
00:22:09error.
00:22:12For the next test, computer scientist Jacob will
00:22:16stand directly in the tractor's path.
00:22:20I programmed it, so if anyone has to suffer, it should be
00:22:23me.
00:22:27the day. This time the robot tractor
00:22:30recognizes its programmer and avoids
00:22:33him. For the team, the initial
00:22:36results are good
00:22:38news.
00:22:42As we saw, what works well is that it avoids people,
00:22:46it recognizes important obstacles and buildings and that's absolutely.
00:23:20incredible patience and persistence, the American declaring that genius is
00:23:231% inspiration and 99%
00:23:26perspiration. You also need to question existing
00:23:30conventions.
00:23:35That's what Ignaz Semmelweis did when he introduced hand disinfection
00:23:38before and after medical examinations.
00:23:42In 19th century Europe, the many women dying from infections after
00:23:45childbirth had previously been seen as an unavoidable
00:23:48tragedy.
00:23:51but here's something inventors don't necessarily need: above average
00:23:54intelligence, and what does that even mean? our viewer of
00:23:58Ormina from Peru had a question about
00:24:00that. How is IQ
00:24:04measured? IQ stands for intelligence
00:24:08quotient, but an IQ test doesn't actually measure
00:24:11how smart or educated someone is. The first IQ
00:24:15test was developed in the early 20th century by psychologist Alfred
00:24:19Binet. His goal was simple: he wanted to identify
00:24:22children who might need extra support in school. Today,
00:24:26an IQ score mainly reflects how well someone can solve complex
00:24:30problems, recognize patterns and process information
00:24:33quickly.
00:24:35There are many different kinds of IQ tests. A common
00:24:39task involves completing a sequence of words or
00:24:42numbers. Here, the goal is to spot the
00:24:46pattern and think analytically.
00:24:49And another task uses geometric shapes that must be arranged or
00:24:53completed. These tasks measure abstract
00:24:56thinking. The faster and more accurately someone solves
00:24:59them, the more points they earn. The final
00:25:02number at the end is their IQ
00:25:04score.
00:25:07Most people score somewhere around 100, but a
00:25:10score of 130 doesn't automatically make someone a genius,
00:25:14and 70 doesn't mean someone's
00:25:16unintelligent. The result may point to learning
00:25:20difficulties or simply show that a person is especially strong at
00:25:23solving logic problems.
00:25:26Today, IQ tests are used in job applications and in scientific
00:25:30research. They can show how well someone recognizes
00:25:34patterns, navigates spatial problems or
00:25:37works with
00:25:38language.
00:25:42But there's a lot they don't measure:
00:25:45creativity, social and emotional
00:25:48intelligence. or hands on practical
00:25:51skills.
00:25:54That's why IQ tests face ongoing criticism,
00:25:58especially since many of them are based on western academic
00:26:01norms. and a single number can never
00:26:04capture who a person truly
00:26:06is.
00:26:10what are stars made of? How many
00:26:13colors can butterflies see? Could
00:26:16robots have babies one day? Do you
00:26:19have a science question? then send it to us as a video, text or
00:26:23voice message. if we answer it in the show, then we'll send you a
00:26:26little gift as a thank you, so just
00:26:29ask.
00:26:34'scientists sometimes borrow clever ideas from plants and animals
00:26:37and turn them into new inventions. That's
00:26:40exactly what researchers in Switzerland did. The result
00:26:43is a battery made from fungi that produces
00:26:46electricity, and once its job is done, biodegrades
00:26:50almost completely. Mushrooms and electricity.
00:26:53How does that work?
00:26:58a huge variety of species in almost.'
00:27:02every shape and
00:27:05color and flourish in some very unlikely
00:27:07places, some can even generate
00:27:11electricity. Working with researchers at Empa,
00:27:14Switzerland's Materials Science Institute, Carolina Rayas
00:27:18developed a fungal fuel cell or fungal battery. Getting two
00:27:22different fungi to work together took years of
00:27:24experimentation. This is breaking down
00:27:28nutrients that we give it on one side, and
00:27:31it generates a... charged particles called
00:27:34electrons and this is what goes from one
00:27:37side called the anode to the other side, uh, called the
00:27:41cathode, and on the other side we have this different kind of fungus
00:27:45called white rot. The
00:27:47team spent three years developing the fungal fuel cell. It
00:27:51was a delicate balancing act.
00:27:54Fungi are living organisms and need exactly the right
00:27:58conditions: not too warm, not too
00:28:01cold, not... too moist and not too
00:28:04dry.
00:28:06one of the biggest challenges was to try and make the
00:28:10electrode material and not kill the fungus
00:28:13in the mechanical process of
00:28:16mixing. The fungal cells are mixed into
00:28:19cellulose-based inks made conductive by carbon
00:28:22particles. A 3D printer then forms the two
00:28:25living electrodes at the heart of the fuel
00:28:28cell.
00:28:31a beeswax casing holds the cell
00:28:33together. add water and nutrients and the
00:28:37dormant fungi spring into action.
00:28:40The cell now begins producing electricity. Apart from
00:28:43its removable copper contacts, it's made from biodegradable
00:28:47materials. conventional batteries by
00:28:50contrast, need special collection and recycling, but
00:28:54many still end up in household
00:28:55waste.
00:29:02of electronic waste. This is
00:29:05where batteries like ours could perhaps play a
00:29:07part.
00:29:11One possible application is environmental
00:29:14monitoring: powering sensors that track
00:29:17temperature, soil moisture or water
00:29:20quality.
00:29:25tiny current, making it suitable only for very low
00:29:29energy sensors.
00:29:40He says that for now, fungal fuel cells can't compete with conventional
00:29:44batteries or rechargeable cells.
00:29:48Fungal batteries are still at the basic research stage, it will take years
00:29:52before they become commercially available, but they could eventually
00:29:55be useful for environmental sensors in places where recovering the
00:29:59devices is difficult, especially if the power source can bi.
00:30:20you can see this one has all already yeah started to fall
00:30:23apart.
00:30:28the fungal battery gradually biodegrades leaving behind
00:30:31little more than a tiny lump of
00:30:33compost.
00:30:39where can new discovery lead? Often, even the
00:30:42scientists behind it don't know where the journey will take
00:30:45them. Open independent research with no
00:30:49fixed outcome in mind has sparked countless
00:30:51innovations.
00:30:54but what happens when a breakthrough isn't just useful in civilian life,
00:30:58but could also be
