This is g. W. News from berlin and follow us on twitter and instagram at state of the unions or visit our website dot com. This week on world stories. The u. S. Wants a reformed police force Mikhail Gorbachevs life is a play. But 1st we start in azerbaijan the car cation country is at war with its neighbor armenia more and more civilians are being killed in the process the warring parties blame each other for this. If you go far as a live shows as well he used to live until very recently. To see a rocket take his house in early october he says. So. Articles quite off base sure that. His home for 35 years burned down to the walls. In their work or whatever the whole family was sitting here watching t. V. And suddenly there was an explosion in the backyard everything started burning we ran outside and called the firefighters but when they arrived it was already too late to review the. Burned memories. For as early as is convinced that armenia is responsible for the attack the neighboring country deliberately bombed many civilian targets in the area he says. We cant independently verify this we are not allowed to move freely in the the front line we are only allowed to film with the as of a john eales or a tease let us film thank you. This school and battle for example even if it looks like it the children here are not students. They are refugees this has been an emergency shelters since the fighting started a month ago. Thank. God right at the end friends a memorial for a fallen azerbaijani soldier everyone here is convinced that their army is fighting for a just cause. The schools vice principal doesnt believe their votes have been attacks on armenian surveillance. And laughed at us and then. I dont know much about whats happening on the armenian side i only know what i see on t. V. Here but i can say that the armenians are losing and must retreat so they dont have any other options we are not trying to take armenian territory we are fighting for what belongs to us tentacle. Has been at the school for a few weeks now with his wife and 3 granddaughters they are from tire tar right on the border with nagornokarabakh lately the clashes there have intensified. That. Im worried about the girls theyre just kids they were so scared of the fighting how are they supposed to know what explosions off they should go to school and study but they shouldnt have to learn what bombs and missiles sound like lets do that when in that. At the moment the children seem safe here is about 20 kilometers from the frontline but nobody knows when they will be able to return home or whether it will soon become too dangerous here tonight i. Police officers are still suspected of being racists in many parts of the United States a fundamental reform aims to change that observations from the city of minneapolis i mean a hapless may 28th the 3rd precinct building of the Minneapolis Police department set ablaze during protests against the death of george floyd in police custody. The Burning Police station becomes a symbol for the protesters fury for their demands for an end of Police Racism and patel its. 5 months later abandoned boarded up and secured with cement barriers precinct 3 still a symbol now signifying the citys struggle to make the changes the protesters demand to the local Police Department and how policing is done there is definitely a breakdown in terms of trust between our elected officials and their constituents as well as between their constituents and our Law EnforcementCommunity Volunteers from either cop a mob and prepared to patrol the neighborhood then the 9th ward of minneapolis where george floyd on the christian and local level and grow. Enough. This thank you for your blessing that she to watch over us as we walk the streets when the group recently recognized and supported by the city is filling the gap created by the collapse of trust between police and the black community with Police Patrols largely absent from this part of town they have taken on the task of proactively protecting the community from rising crime we want to have selective police and not community who knows who live in our community who look like a community and then that be a better place where like how we can read talk to him and how we communicate to each other Minneapolis Police recognize the need for urgent and fundamental change says deputy chief eric force he sees new recruiting strategies as critical for any Real Progress one of the best things you can you can have as a department thats as reflective of your community as you can get it especially people from the community and thats really what were pushing for after hours of patrolling the neighborhood the a government decide to go home theyll be back tomorrow night and tonight after that the changes they were pushing for you know its kind of more of a generational change you know because we want to make it better for our children their children and this is this is this is like our starting block right here you know as were trying to pave the way for them. With a spectacular campaign a congolese man in france has drawn attention to an old problem he organized the african art during the colonial era he symbolically became a he from so many would call this theft but this activist says hes only getting back what was taken away from his people i came to reclaim goods that were stolen from africa during cold and he say she saw this video of us live streamed on facebook back in june west soon a jab yes and 4 other activists were trying to steal a funerary post. From carol lima see him in paris he failed but managed to draw attention to a topic that has recently triggered a heated debate should african art looted during colonialism be returned and if so how and when the congolese burn activists action is needed now on the do you never ask a thief for permission to get back what is still from you and thats what we did we have the right to defend ourselves because we were robbed the fact that our works are on display here means to theft continues to be. Also caused a stir when he tried to steal a piece of art from a dutch museum as well as in the french city of must say some say these acts have to be considered as performances not just that. Its a different way of saying things that have already been said in many forms for a long time since african countries gained independence on a diplomatic level in a dialogue between museums and international corporation. In a report commissioned by french president emmanuel and that crawl the art historian so looted art has to be given back and that up to 90 percent of african art works are located outside of the continent the kemper lima c. M. Alone has more than 60000 objects taken from africa but according to this lawyer an ad lover not all of them are looted he recently published a book on the topic. Some objects have obviously been taken away european states have to give back what was taken in wars but there are also other aspects africans themselves all are too european. Ford and his fellow activists its not only about bringing heritage spec home as he calls it he also wants european societies to face the realities of their. Colonial past it is our goal to reach the biggest possible audience on the one hand our jazz bar and people in africa but also people in europe yet the out says says he does not fear possible fines not even prison sentences in his eyes this is about a lot more than just his own destiny. The last head of state of the soviet Union Mikhail gorbachev is considered a hero in the western world but of russia hes highly controversial now his life has been brought to the stage in moscow. With a very if i remember everything. Memories of the life of one of historys greats gorbachev from a balcony seat the 89 year old watched his own life play out on stage at the moscow theater of nations the play that was supposed to be a love story between michelle youve got a child and his wife raisa became much more its the story of an entire country and the era during which gorbachev was in charge. Of what he took with the show hes a visionary politicians none of us can come close to that one day his name will be written in gold lettering. 2 actors hugh wigs and dozens of anecdotes from an eventful life together if getting near enough in church on comma tova play a couple who from early on dream of a better for your future everything seems to go according to plan the young Party Official hopeful from the countryside is given a post in moscow he rises through the ranks to become head of the communist party and then president of the soviet union.

In 1986 cover chuff began his restructuring his perestroika risking what Many Russians still cant forgive him for today the collapse. Of the soviet union. In the play about the statesman who brought freedom to his people there is no reference to todays russia no reference to the terrible disappointment that has still not been forgotten almost 30 years after corporate charts resignation. And i was a young woman when perestroika came and back then i was promised a whole new world a world with a functioning freedom of the press freedom of assembly and rights to sexual and gender selfdetermination the world that was promised to me then has nothing to do with the world today but the years of wish to chess. The climax of the play is the death of michel you garber chops wife from cancer and the turning point of his career the last chapter is called gorbachev and solitude the theater may be filled with enthusiastic applause but in real life things quickly became quite lonely around michel you cover charge.

There was little Public Awareness about them until december 26th 2004. That was the day a gigantic tsunami me indian ocean killed more than 250000 people in images illustrating the fool so these natural phenomenon shocked the world. 7 years later in 2011 a Nuclear Power plant in fukushima japan exploded up to being engulfed by an earthquake generated tsunami. Since these tragedies scientists rushed to the scene redoubling efforts to determine what causes these killer waves. Because that knowledge can save lives its clear that tsunamis can strike any region of the planet open eyes ation has made coastal communities even more vulnerable. Can Tsunami Research protect than. To have. To move to it was. On friday september 28th 2018 an earthquake followed by a tsunami devastated an area of the bay of palu on the indonesian island of slow way sea. Within minutes cool 1000 people lost their lives 79000 others had to be evacuated how could this new design aster in indonesia occur after the devastating 2004 tsunami 2 tsunami specialists were commissioned by unesco in the indonesian authorities to investigate cause to sin a lot because of the university of Southern California and herman fritz of the Georgia Institute of technology have arrived to conduct field research. Quite impressive to see the devastation. There now 3 weeks after the event. Here if you cant say right important to come up as quickly as possible or at least once to emergencies over because our borders in this area already so a lot of evidence is already lost. The researches will be combing the debris for traces of the wave time is of the essence cleanup operations have already raised valuable evidence and the monsoon rains a jew to start soon. Working as a tsunami scientist is very much like being a detective on. See theres a multiple murders have taken place and you really have to piece like. This sequence of events they did tsunami hit 1st and this way the houses collapsed or where they collapsed because of the earthquake it was from the army from the system what were the people doing why is it that some people die and some people didnt know. The 2 researches want to determine how the disaster unfolded their goal to trace the tsunami back to the event the trick at the way. His goes to meet survivors in the small fishing town of one. When the wave heat pump to latif was on his boat 100 metres from the shore. Then. Get off the boat go. Go go. Very young. When the 1st wave came in there was a big trauma and when im on tack and work that its up up up and you feel the tremors on the boat over that i mean we are yes the whole boat was rocking out because the water level had dropped and the boat had run aground. Or they stayed with the boat. Did you stay on the boat. Got held on to the national. Guard and then i saw the way of approaching in the distance you jumped out scarlett was very fast. It reached the boat in no time at all and pushed us on to land. But up roughly how high was it that is something i could see my house the roof was almost at the same height as the boat how. Was your house over there have this the way it was about 5 to 6 metres higher as high as my house in. Constance because hes puzzled how could a 5 metre high waves have crashed on to the shore here in a bank that up until now had not been seen as a tsunami hazards on. 20 kilometers south of one e Hermann Fritz is conducting research in part. Tucked away at the back of the bay the town is home to 350000 residents thousands of people lost their lives here. Accompanied by 2 indonesian colleagues come in fritz drives to the parking lot of a Shopping Center overlooking the bay hes investigation into the dynamics of the way relies heavily on videos from mobile phones this is the exact spot where you saw on the feed you there you can see the billboard theres. Another wave coming people running away people running away. And thats the 2nd was going right over there. Now we can basically see how high the water is almost on top of the billboard. The wave reached a fine tooth more than fool me to his. To determine the cools of the tsunami. Bush needs to create a computer model of the devastating wave for this he has to determine its height at different points in the city and measure how far it spread inland to try to some Detailed Survey in years to begin to try to get it to 3 d. Scan and the purpose of that is to get 3 d. Space based the lidar scans all the point cloud and you can see how the wave goes through it so if you measure how high the wave reason every given instance and how fast that wave is moving across is through the houses washing away the houses and across the street and. Then fritz follows the waves traces to flooding the parking lot its whips deep into the sea it didnt serve the force of the wave can be found in the small school located just 100 meters from the shore. Thats why we have this grail here and we see this raft of debris inside so we know that the tsunami was at least to this height of this rock and then up here we see the actual primary tsunami lying which is this one right here and you can also see in the window if you look at the blue sky we actually see a model going through there and then we look at that over here we also see the mud line coming around coming around coming around so the tsunami is coming pretty much at the height of my head through this mosque. And thats also very difficult to hide already because usually when your water is to this height you cannot stand any more you will be thrown to the ground by the water so can be difficult to survive. After 3 days of field work the 2 american researches and their indonesian colleagues can now produce their 1st simulation of the tsunami that hit the bay of palu. They established that the strongest wave cut a path 300. 00 metres inland but caused us you know luck is and Hermann Fritz are only at the start of their investigation they now have to identify the events that triggered the deadly wave and find out how it could have swept into the bay. Soon means the port nonny the waves the waves the destroy the port. These words now in universal use dates from the 17th century it comes from the place on the planet most frequently affected by tsunamis japan. It was coined by fishermen when returning to shore on a stone free day they discovered the waves had leveled their villages. Am the last tsunami to hit japan caused the Fukushima Nuclear disaster in 2011 it was triggered by a sea quake measuring 9 point one on the richter scale. The way killed more than 18000 people and soon i mean up or can cause a tsunami has no meteorological cause thats the primary cause of tsunamis are earthquakes and sea quakes. The vast majority of tsunamis are generated by sea quakes which in turn are triggered by the earths tectonic activity. The earths crust is composed of several large plates the movement of magma pushes them against one another a few millimeters. To a few centimeters a year the oceanic plates slide beneath the continental plates creating subduction zones. Friction between the plates can cause deformation of the continental plate which accumulates a gigantic amount of energy when these energy is released it can cause a huge undersea earthquake. The earthquake suddenly puts all the water in motion. At a depth of 4 kilometers we have 4000 meters of water is moving at the speed of a passenger plane. Or the wave slows down near the coast but increases in size of a result of that creates waves like we saw in 201120 to 30 meters high. On them you know. You cannot separate earthquake science and tsunamis science. The longer duration of the earth great its a very good indication of wrong. Its basically its like a zipper if you have a small earthquake its this short rupture area and that means the race issue or if its a big earthquake live sumatra. Or japan maggots and 9 plus events and basically have a very long zipper that means the shaking boat go on for several minutes jesus christ those that are. No. Longer and stronger an undersea quake the more powerful the tsunami a tree is as in the Indian Ocean Sea quake of december 26th. 2000 and full. Of full located 100 kilometers of banda on the indonesian island of sumatra ruptured along a length of 1200 kilometers the massive 9 point one magnitude undersea quake lasted more than 5 minutes. Within 15 minutes the 1st waves up to 35 meters high smashed into sumatra while other large waves rippled across the indian ocean in all 230000 people lost their lives the ways advance was captured for the 1st time on video by hundreds of people caught up in the disaster. The world was shocked by this devastating show of Natural Force a force little understood at the time. For scientists it was a wake up call energizing research into tsunamis then still in its infancy. Since 2008 unesco has maintained a global tsunami tracker its a record of tsunami occurrences over the past 3 millennia. To date researchers have identified 1200. 00 the least destructive are in white the most deadly in red each of these dots represents a potential danger for the future 70 percent of tsunamis located along the pacific ring of fire where most of the earths subduction zones are located. In palo costa see no lockers and turn for its a continuing Bear Research and tsunami Early Warning system was set up here after the 2004 disaster so why were there so many victims in 2018. You know that there are lot of vendors here selling food. It was really busy 1st we heard a rumble yeah but a good bit of. The people started screaming the waters rising. This i witness says the crowds in the roads near the beach were caught totally off guard by the wave no warning sounded here. Our Investigation Continues at the Tsunami Monitoring Center in the indonesian capital jakarta. This control tower monitors seismic activity across indonesia including the bay of parley. Seismologists here can detect any undersea earthquake in real time advanced algorithms allow them to simulate the formation of a tsunami and warn coastal communities before the 1st wave hits since its introduction in 2008 the system has issued 22 alerts saving countless lives why then did palu fail to receive a warning on september 28th 2018. Qian poorness sinky was the seismologist on g t that night i guess that. The earthquake in palo registered a magnitude of 7 for 2 minutes then just afterward the magnitude rose to 7. 7. I instantly ran to the top table where we simulate tsunamis. Modeling tsunami the center in jakarta registered an earthquake 80 kilometers north of palm bay early in the evening. The epicenter is here. And heres palo. According to the simulation the tsunami risk posed by the surface quake was only moderate nevertheless an alert was treated within the prescribe time limit 5 minutes after the earthquake. So one went wrong. Last assume the lurkers will discover the answer with the help of 2 private surveillance cameras. Friday september 28th 6 o 2 pm the earthquake hits the bay of power loop it lasts longer than 2 minutes. How did you experience the earthquake it was incredible you couldnt stand up impossible i was there under camera 2 i was hanging on to the gate and it calmed down and i went out to call shes my cut off their view of the grocery show close to the water for help to try. Out the net and theyve always said a base of bay a doesnt have tsunamis. That its in the open sea where there occur you know it happened here and he said that. These images provide the researches with key evidence on the chronology of events the time on the c. C. T. V. Footage reveals that barely 2 minutes elapsed between the end of the earthquake and the onset of the tsunami. Such a rapid succession had never been recorded before. The tsunami warning issued in jakarta when town after the wave hit palu when all of its Communication Systems were already down. What is very alarming to me is that here the earthquake triggered the tsunami very quickly so we need to understand how this happens and also what is the timing how quickly after the earthquake hits the tsunami comes. According to the jakarta centers simulations it should have taken a wave generated near the epicenter 80 kilometers north of the bay about 15 minutes to reach palu. How was it possible for this way to advance with such speed and force on the bay of palu. To find answers the researches take to the air. 16 are important to us but other birds eye view of birds for this by being up there i recall it allows us to see how this will. Consume the extent of. The scientists are struck by what they see there alternating areas of devastation and intact but thats not all and once you get outside of the bay the wave disappears very quickly and youre looking at very beautiful indonesian beaches saturday hours to can find a zone where to look for further for the sources to inside tibet. If the wave that devastated palu had formed out in the open sea the entire coast would have been affected. Home and fritz and cost us in our lockers down to the deadly wave we. Generated at the epi center identified by the jakarta Warning Center they believe the source of the tsunami must have lain inside the bank itself. Herman fritz and hes indonesian colleague. Returned to the west coast to gauge how it tsunami could have originated in this sheltered area. Paris city has received new footage that was filmed nearby. The barges they were over there. So then you can see all of these events and then this is when this started just last night. Yeah a local landslide most seismic triggered by the earthquake you have a small semicircular wave that you can even see video so i think this is going to be a localized impact of this landslide tsunami you have a lot of aluminum with you think once you shake it in the book you. Put hooman fritz the low intensity of these 1st wave suggests it was triggered by a coastal landslide but that alone doesnt explain what cools the tsunami that devastated the bank here we have evidence because we have a coastal scar ok so the scar actually is along the shoreline. When interview ocean and so we have a coastal landslide i dont think theres localized tsunamis big enough to be the main source of the tsunami that wiped away. On the other side of the bay. Surveying the entire bank researches discover several other similar landslides all of them could have triggered many tsunamis but its only when the team looks further inland it finds the missing piece of the puzzle. Look this is remarkable this is the trench. Trimmers opened it and closed it and opened it again with the front door. A few 100 metres further on a 2nd witness points out the extent of the destruction. That any the entire row of houses collapsed on all of the houses collapsed at the same time from south to north as you can see by the slope of that house there. A deep full line opened up cutscene clear through the town causing the buildings to collapse it continues on into the bank for many more kilometers. Finally researches have the answer it is this fault line that cools the palu tsunami. After 5 days out in the field and months of Data Analysis the sequence of events has at last been pieced together on september 28th 2018 at 6 o 2 pm a 7. 00 magnitude earthquake struck 80 kilometers north of palm. The epi center correctly identified by the Tsunami Monitoring Center in jakarta did not directly trigger the tsunami the seismic waves travel through the earths crust at the extremely high speed of 900 Kilometers Per Hour generating a fold that opened up across the entire bank that triggered landslides all along the coast which in turn generated a series of mini tsunamis the energy of all these mini tsunamis accumulated in the depression of the bank combining to form a powerful wave that swept across the town and then fritz and cost us in alaskas investigation has come to an end a reconstruction of the bay of palu tsunami will help improve Warning Systems all over the world where you still think that tsunamis only strike in areas where you have some toxins we now know just like what happened here that tsunami is going to pretty much any place where youre going to have an earthquake we are very concerned about this because similar earthquakes. In seattle it will take place in Southern California it will take place in the caribbean a big place in the maker of. Watch walls of water wash weans want thunder what a horrible earthquake what a frightening sound of the scene and the howling of a great people. These words by the italian poet petrarch described as strange storm over the city of naples in the 14th century. 700 years later vulcanologist now rosie was intrigued by petrovs description rosie has worked on naples emergency plan in case Mount Vesuvius erupts most tsunamis are generated by sea quakes and fault lines but they can also be triggered by volcanic eruptions. They seem honest dog an idea the quest of a truck witnessed an exceptional phenomenon that struck the city of make us. Man he was asleep not far from the point when he heard such loud strange noises that he thought it was an earthquake there are a lot more than 30 or 40 that patrick rushed to the harbor like so many other people. And saw with his own eyes that it had been completely devastated thats encouraged even to their us thats all. Aside from his descriptions of the destruction petra also wrote of hundreds of dead and dozens of sunken ships tomorrow rosie its obvious that the strange storm was a tsunami. With a level cut local think at that time petra could not have known that it was a tsunami because it was an unknown phenomenon in the middle ages or you know we have. Today we are certain it was a tsunami and. Dont want. To avoid a repeat of the catastrophe the vulcanologist has been searching for the cools of the tsunami that rick to naples harbor in 1343 days no. Record of a 14th century eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the gulf of naples. So now rosie has focused on another volcano located 200 kilometers from naples stromboli hes one of the most active in the region. In 2002 an eruption caused a flank of the mountain to collapse into the sea a 10 meter high tidal wave relieved the island. The waves spread across the terrain eone sea and much weakened reach the bay of naples. Through far more powerful eruption of stromboli have triggered the tsunami described by petrarch 700 years ago. Above the village of Sandrine Shinzo on the slopes of the volcano archaeologists are a levy is excavating the remains of a small church shes provided now rosie with his 1st clues. Evan when i went to the magical we knew that a dramatic event led to the sudden collapse of the building probably a powerful earthquake because we found large blocks of stone inside on the church floor. Up everything. In order to date stromboli past activity archeologists examined 3 skeletons found in the remains of the church. The skeleton was in a grave that that was dug through the layer of collapsed tiles that fell down when the church collapsed so this person was definitely a witness of the catastrophe possibly a victim or possibly a survivor. The skeleton has been dated by carbon 14 in the middle decades of the 14th century. The date of the earthquake that shook the island of strong boley coincides with the tsunami disaster described by petrarch in the bay of naples. When the church collapsed it was not rebuilt which is surprising and indicates a major change in human occupation at this location it is likely that the island was abandoned until the 1600s. The event was so traumatic that the island of stromboli remained uninhabited for 10 generations and more than 200 years. Following these revelations from our own rules he began his own excavations he hopes to find clues linking the activity of the volcano to the tsunami described by petrarch in 1343. More than 4 meters underground the vulcanologist finally discovered an intriguing mix of sedimentary deposits. For the tsunami and this tsunami deposit is by far the largest we found. In we dated it to 1350
