Thats a linking up a new data highway in space its super speed rail had us coped with natural disasters there on. The glass trying to stop the coral reefs from dying go underwater in billys and look at how conservationists are working to keep them alive. And welcome. Good to have your company. We begin in russia where firefighters backed by the countrys air force a struggling to contain last fire in siberia thats the area that the area that is ablaze is growing with some 45000. Already affected officials said theyve given up their efforts in some of the most remote areas in the hardest hit province of clustering ask residents actual king on. These crews are fighting a losing battle about the vast expanse of disappear in forest they qualify as that summer under the canopy. Helicopters also ferry and reinforcements to combat the smoldering fire on the ground. The difficult thing with these fires is that they cover huge areas and the hard to reach the most effective method is a comprehensive one. Planes pull water from above while firefighters on the ground extinguish all the small small drink points. Was. Dropped into the wild the firefighters move through the haze in search of flames fed by the foliage. Smoldering points are continuing to appear were also using machines to dig them up were doing our best to extinguish the fires so. The russian government has claimed that the fires have been reduced by a quarter but the Aerial Forest Protection Service admits that its given up on 2400000. 00 hectares of forest only monitoring the fires in those areas from space greenpeace meanwhile has sounded the alarm over the Environmental Impact of the wildfires. Its official. This represents a climate catastrophe. Sort of the fires are releasing as much c o 2 into the atmosphere as 36000000 cars a year. But fires are also having a direct impact on people in the region the village of barbara chinee lives around 100 kilometers from the blaze but heavy small has shroud of the village creating a Health Hazard for residents when the way of climate its been a long time since weve seen smoke that stayed around for so long and more. Is that the we cant breathe anymore. Even in our apartment we can smell the smoke. Its this feeling that never leaves you. Its really hard to breathe. With all this chronic cough sapir in both children and adults. 10005 fighters have been dispatched to siberia but with fires still raging in vast tracts of land villages like this will not have a clear view of the sun for some time yet joining me now is Emily Shipman from our Moscow Bureau and what is the latest situation why are firefighters having such a hard time getting these this is under control. Well there are reports today amrita that actually the fire in the cross and our region has increased by 30000 hectares overnight meanwhile there are other reports from the air quotes griese and regent from the ministry of defense which was sent to put out fires there from the air last week and they said that theyve put out 30 kind of fire hot spots the problem with these fires that rita is that they are just so huge by some estimates this fire is burning on an area of the size of belgium and the other problem is that the areas are so hard to reach many of them are uninhabited many of them are very remote and firefighters say they just are too hard to reach to be able to put out the fire and we also hear in this piece in some areas another tool happy with the government and regional authorities handling of the situation what are they saying. Thats right well last week hundreds of cities across the region were choked by smoke and people were sharing images on social media of kind of smoke and smog and how they couldnt see of their problems breathing theres also a petition circulating online which has garnered over a 1000000 signatures right now which is calling for a state of emergency to be called across the entire region where the fires are raging and not just across a few regions which is currently the case now there is some debate about wildfires forest fires in general not just in russia but internationally and here in russia as well these fires rage every year and according to russian law actually russian authorities can ignore blazes that are too far away in socalled control zones which are uninhabited they arent obliged to put those out and also if the cost of fighting the fires actually exceeds the damage that they could do russian authorities are also not obliged by law to put those fires out release is describing these fires as a climate catastrophe can give us an idea of the scale of the environmental damage thats being caused by these days is well i just described the scale of the actual fires you have to imagine that theyre also emitting a huge amount of c o 2 which is obviously a very bad for the climate plus there is the problem of black carbon which is being released and can settle in the arctic and that actually accelerates the melting of ice caps in in the arctic so its understandable that green that greenpeace is sounding the alarm and really sheldon in moscow thank you very much. And its a modest stories making news around the wild the mayor of the ohio city killed in a mass shooting criticize u. S. President ahead of his visit there to marry dayton and then really said trumps rhetoric has been paid for and defended residents rights to protest against his rival. The European Union and the u. S. Have together phased over 55000000. 00 in additional aid zimbabwe this is in response to a United Nations appeal for funds to help the drought his african country the u. N. Said 5000000 people there on need of aid. The Philippines Department of health has declared the countrys outbreak of dengue fever to be an National Epidemic it said about 150000. 00 cases have been recorded this year this comes after a severe outbreaks of the mosquito borne diseases and honduras.

Territories. Joining me now from delhi is. So what is the government hoping to achieve by this reorganization bit of breaking up the state of jump me into 2 and how if people reacted to it. Well under the rank and file off the ruling party in the many supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi across the country have really and to siesta key welcomed this move to split gosh meat off the top to me you know the spontaneous street celebrations in some parts of the country and we have to remember that and repeated election manifestos the b. G. P. The ruling Hindu Nationalist Party has really played to scrap bush leaves special status you know theyve long this is a party that has really long argued that guaranteeing special status this article 370. 00 which guarantees special status to push me has long been the biggest obstacle to integrating this region with the rest of india they say that this move now with you know its slow much needed investment and growth and development of the country but critics have slammed this move as unilateral some of called it as an assault on democracy theyve been you know theyve been solidarity protests and marches and some thirtys theyve been quite small i attended one this morning in daly and the ordinary kush meetings i spoke to there spork you know off a sense of betrayal and anger really at the Indian Government. And as we heard the state of germany is under a clampdown what are you hearing from their. Well to be on the summit though we have very Little Information off what is actually happening on the ground in the valley and thats because as you said there has been a complete media into the Communications Blackout you know internet lines are down all by the by phone networks landlines theyve all been caught a complete kofi has been in the Indian Government has you know rushed in additional tens of thousands of troops to a region which is already one of the most heavily militarized in the world not the kind of swayed reports that were getting from the area suggest that people have really been confined to their homes the street for 5 of the shops are shuttered Fresh Produce really isnt making its way in and despite this lockdown a few reports and certainly agencies that ive seen suggests that that has the sporadic violence instances of stone pelting that have even been reports of the potus to be killed though we have no way to confirm that. And so this is how india reacted to pakistani Prime Minister imran khans strong condemnation of indias move on kiss me describing it as an illegal act. Thats right over there when we have been pretty hard to hide any official reaction from the Indian Government on this as yet but we have to of course remember that bush meat has long been you know a flashpoint between india and pakistan the 2 countries have been locked for decades of over this region they have waged was over it so i think this latest move would only serve to heighten tensions between the 2 neighbors right soon if i make it in delhi thank you very much for that the gaza strip is home to some extraordinary relics from will find 1001000 years of Human History dating back from the bronze age of the 20th century the decades of fighting mean that heritage is address could be destroyed or plan dead but despite the destruction banished indians are taking it upon themselves to see if got the traces of ages past. Despite decades of conflict and looting treasures like the remains of this by centime church still survive conserving it is a big project funded by foreign aid. But palestinians have started their own individual collections. By parties from people who collects them because this museum was established by personal efforts and at the expense of my childrens bread i bought more than one piece and like put them in this museum to protect them. Well lead began storing artifacts in 1975 he runs one of 5 registered private collections in gaza people running their own museums are monitored by causes tourism ministry. Lets see how they gave us a document noting that we only use collections that we have the right to preserve them and add to the collection but with no right to trade them. In more outside of the ministry has opened a Public Museum with several 100 pieces on display they have plans for a National Collection but the only going blockade of gaza means the project is own home. Ministry has plans to build a Large National museum for all these archaeological pieces at the political and Economic Situation and the siege on gaza are preventing this. Until that changes conservation work is vital at every level to help preserve the heritage stretching back more than 5000. It watching the news coming up ahead. Practicing risk cubans boarding culture catching some at. The trust you could describe it as 50 gravity a new satellite system known as the space is on its way now into orbit a rocket carrying the satellite system blasted off from the European Space trench guyana on tuesday and the satellites are equipped with ultra Fast Technology they have emergency. Situations by transferring data and images of any point of. Real time. Flying at an altitude of 36000 kilometers the really satellite has a view of large parts of the earths surface the system runs around the clock and some of the satellites orbit the globe with even greater trajectories the e. T. R s c is intended to improve and accelerate Data Transmission from space by using a socalled laser communication terminal it can receive data from earth observation satellites through a laser link then it immediately forwards the data to the ground station the system is 100. 00 times faster than high speed internet. We do. You can cut this dont you turn 20 minutes maybe i really. Need to respond to ricky to the ground. During floods and other disasters swift access to satellite data is crucial radar satellites can see through clouds. Their able to capture the extent of floods over a wide area. Emergency support needs this information as quickly as possible they can then determine the location of the greatest damage and how to get to affected areas. Earth observation satellites orbit the globe every 90 minutes but they can only send data to earth for 10 minutes at a time the new Laser Technology extends the transmission time and users can obtain data more quickly there are other advantages the system is useful for Weather Services accurate forecasts rely on huge amounts of data from around the world. The a. T. R. A c. Satellite works like a laser node in space a 2nd node is already in place on a Telecommunications Satellite together they form the basis for europes space data highway. The reports from a u. N. Monitoring group says that north korea has used cyber crime to circumvent International Sanctions and raise some 2000000000. 00 the report alleges that north korea has been able to finance the development of Nuclear Weapons through these funds it says hackers have still been 32000000 from cryptic out and see exchanges such as bitcoin which are difficult to sanction and the isolated countrys Financial Institutions allegedly maintain over 30 illicit overseas contracts to make international transactions. Now for more on this story i had written a hands really him doing hes the president off the fiber Security Council here in berlin welcome to you 1st of all what are your reactions to this report because of a strong allegations and the police today did not scale crime yes i think its very important to say that it is the report has not been released yes we have only some special agencies have a summary. Now we have only a few informations about it but its a no milf element im its normal daily life in the cyber field and its very. Successful mete out to catch money from the Public Sector so how could a country which is so isolated like north korea set up an operation which is so large with so much money involved its isolated country in the political environment and then the daily life but not in the cyber space that we have no borders that we have no legal frame no rules nothing and its very easy in a very i would say a symmetric setting to. Organize criminal groups to organize attacks against for example here in the Banking Sector so how does the u. N. Work to uncover an operation like this and how much going to conclusive evidence do they have to prove what theyre saying its not that easy to prove it that is a field of attributes we want to know who is the attacker behind the machine behind the computer and that is very complicated and you need a long time you need weeks and months to organize to get forensic and oh you need a Legal Framework for that you need Technical Skills and that is our biggest problems and i dont know who are the experts at the moment in the un but it is a very comprehensive and holistic approach you need. With a lot of skills and this operation you think is state sponsored i would say its state sponsored because you need a lot of cap abilities you need a big budget to finance such attack and that is typically for state sponsor actions and the u. N. Report says the report which hasnt been released is it says that north korea is using this money which is making through this operation for its Nuclear Program so what needs to be done next if the evidence is that what this will happen now that i think we need special Cyber Security strategies from National States and we need to Un Resolution to organize it you need a very high specified strategy and i think that is the only chance we have and we need awareness yes the worth in the political field and understanding in the Decision Maker sector right so how big are these kind of threats of Cyber Attacks and cyber crime. That is a daily thing on him its very attractive because we have a lot of problems with forensic and attribution and that is a big advantage for the attackers and for the criminal groups are state sponsored. In intelligence agencies and so on and its very easy to do it right that the words of hans william did president of cyber Security Council here in berlin thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us. The chaman off of the gym and when he. Came in stoney s.

Skateboarders in cuba do not have an easy ride with no official support and the equipment often confiscated by police they rely on demented boards and practice with homemade dram but now they are hoping that the olympic debut of the sport in tokyo in 2020 but their fortunes. They finally have a place to skate its been 9 years now since local skaters here started posting videos with a view of raising funds for a skate park they received donations from south America Europe and the United States and have now built their own sanctuary in an abandoned building. You cant skate on the streets youre only allowed to do it here if you get caught on the street the police put you in jail this part of the only place they leave us alone. Skate parks in cuba are few and far between. Mostly in a state of disrepair but that is not the only stumbling block. Was one in cuba there arent any shops that sell skateboards so i try to build them myself and hope for donations. To. The quitman can only be bought on the black market and prices are high but audio gomez hopes that skateboardings olympic debut at tokyo 2020 will help get the government on board. It makes me think that we could improve if the government gave us some attention our community is still small but it can grow and even now we already have some real talents. And. For now its still a pipe dream but in the future one of these skaters may represent cuba at an olympic games. There was demeaning barrier reef the urgent task thats according to a recent call to action by unesco. To Climate Change taking a massive tone and release is one country that is making progress off its coast lines the 2nd largest coral reef in the want it has passed laws to safeguard it 3 and conservationists there have found that painstaking work can nurse the underwater world back to health. With its breathtaking beauty is a paradise on earth that was almost lost. The countrys most prized possession lies under water the incredible biodiversity of its 7000 year old coral reef the 2nd largest in the world the reef was dying but its now gradually being brought back to life Monique Vernon is one of those fighting on its behalf. Well i feel like when i look at work its like. When they call me and say all right were going to all do this laughing work here check the corals here whatever it is im like all right lets do this lets lets wrap this lets wrap today beneath the surface its clear why the reef is struggling the corals have been dying off the sea water is too warm too acidic and the frequent hurricanes have wreaked havoc here Climate Change is turning everything gray together with marine biologist lisa calm on the fragments of Hope Organization monique is rebuilding the corals. Overdue and so theres no time to be straight now roses are basically like the forest in the season so just like the trees in the forest provide habitat and so therefore so many other animals on the corals do the same on the reef very meticulously after Much Research and careful selection they take a few fragments of some especially hardy quick growing corals then they plant them in new places several times a week they place the coral pieces in the prepared cement as they need to secure foundation. Around 80 percent of the fragments survive these ones have been growing for 18 months life is returning and attracting more life with it the reef protectors work is financed by project money and donations they proudly show us the results of 8 years work the corals here have increased from 6 percent to over 50 percent all the hard work is worth it the reef has been able to recuperate. In staying with marine life new research has found that human activity is now the biggest factor affecting shock populations a report by the logic society of london says the human activity has pushed sharks to read from coastal towns and cities and father. The Ocean Research has also found that chalks body sizes significantly smaller in communities that live near human activity they discovered remoted locations that marine predators congregate but said that these habitats are often not of protected areas i dont detract from the fishing industry.
