News. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered yesterday outside Malta's parliament calling for the prime minister's resignation the protests followed the arrest of one of the island's most prominent businessman by police investigating a murder 2 years ago the murder of a prominent journalist that flake leads an anti corruption blogger was killed by a car bomb near her home in October 27th teen the speed of the investigation has drawn international criticism well on Wednesday your going Fenech one of the island's most prominent businessman was arrested when his luxury yacht was intercepted just outside the letter this less than 24 hours after Malta's prime minister said he'd consider a pardon from alleged middleman in exchange for information about who it was that ordered the murder of the journalist Ms golet Syria and Prime Minister Mr Muscat had this to say. To a problem of this the argument I am making is that the fact that the countries institutions were given the resources to carry out this operation a major operation to ensure no one fled the country or try to flee the country shows the government's resolve and mine we are leaving no stone unturned that's it so who has your game Fenech Here's the B.B.C.'s Damian Grammaticus who is you're going Fenech Well he's extremely wealthy businessman does interest go to the energy sector 6 years ago a firm of his was part of the consortium that won a contract in a project with hundreds of millions of euros to build a gas fired power station on the island of Malta that was a one of the key projects of the current government now he is now in custody police have 48 hours to charge or release him. Well we thought we should find out more about that investigation and so we turned to Alice Taylor Alice who works for the shift news which is normally a news platform that was set up after the death of misc elites and she told me what she was looking into at the time she was killed saying Daphne Karen ecclesia was says prominent and probably most well known and prestige journalists and she made it had mission to Anath corruption scandals and negativism going right to the heart of a couple meant and I mean any sort of wrongdoing who financial scandals or sort of anything Quest who was you know and she was the one who published it fast whilst many other needs who refused to place things or side away from the country stories she relentlessly seeks to unearth so that this scandal which go right the heart of government and a continuing today. When she was meant meant people were worried you know this is be an end to it but there have been a couple of News Corp tunes in most of which it picks up these stories in a continuing to push and suggested and is it clear what she was actually investigate thing at the time of our death. Yes So and she broke the Panama paper story which indicated to members of the government as having secret company secret companies and say Panama papers was really would have had because stories and there is still have been no arrests in most for anyone in connection with the Panama papers despite the evidence of wrongdoing. And I mean she would go after everybody if you that was a suspicion of corruption property developer politician and also its people. But I think the Panama papers was the one that really rough food if you fed those because of the fact. Its senior members of the Labor Party. Or what about your going Fenech you're going Fenech you are going Fenech Yes Tell us a little bit about him and whether his name came up at all in the in the course of her inquiries. Actually he is quite interesting I am so you're going Fenech was found to be the owner he is the owner of a secret by come 17 that it was revealed one of our papers now at the time his company's name became published by I don't think ironically we didn't know that he was in fact the owner of it. Now this company 17 black was set to pay x. Worth 1400000 euros to the prime minister's chief of staff he and tourism minister correct Mitzi Now these kickbacks are connected to a power station project that's well about 90000000 euros and imposing penalties state and energy company the state owned energy company has opposed and your conflicts company so that any. Sort of outs that this this scandal but at the time we didn't know it as you can that owned it now after she was mad it was then discovered that he was the I know and. Obviously that was quite a big scandal. Now the ministers that were implicated that was set to receive money are still in office some I just hear inquiries were started but sort of 2 nearly 3 years later but no charges against them and they still retain their I mean their their position within the government so this is something that's there's quite concerning. So Daphne reported on his company she didn't name him even though she was the owner and this company was set up with the so Pappas is making large payments to incumbent government officials I don't know how the police and Malta behave but have they said it very much about why they arrested Mr Fenwick. Ok so I need to give you put it back Brandon exactly how things unfolded so should you have to deafen that he was murdered some 3 men were arrested for parents who detonated all but the most a mind is never right and right now they're well skilled enough in a car bomb or a general sort of bombing where 3 you know say I'm she was in her car she drove away from her house and a cop would be placed underneath Cup it was did remain heated debate we believe a mobile phone. And that is what killed her 2 bombs underneath a car can't have so after that and I'm sorry and tried to do 3 men you say were arrested yet say 3 men were arrested now they were arrested for planting and detonating another must mind at this point was not identified. Years past still no mastermind identified the pressure was on there were some leaks to the press that suggested it was a well known businessman and the speculation was that it could be Fenech this you can find the character and then yesterday the prime minister chose Miska and I don't see the press that a middleman not prevented in relation to the matter and that he would be given a conditional presidential politics rather cry in return transformation on the mastermind of the assassination plot. Less than 24 hours later 70 any hours of this morning around 5 o'clock Mr Fenech was intercepted by the armed forces of Mossad trying to escape the country intellectually you know you Miss Essie people back to shore and arrested. So that's where we are today and that's where we are today now what accounts for the government after 2 years seemingly sudden announcement that this middle man was going to be given leniency. Well it's a very good question there has been growing pressure on the government internationally to sort of results the case they've being pressured by the Council of Europe have an European Parliament into inching an independent public inquiry into whether her magic could have been prevented by the state now the family if that's her and again it's you have actually had to litigate to force him to do this inquiry since been a lot of. This not been a lot of motivation for the authorities boxset to get the posts about this and the pressure has me being Pyotr and that precious come from international politicians journalists fighting among international journalists press freedom organizations that are the ones that have really pushed for they said well so recently there have been a few leaks of information to the press for example I mentioned that's a well known business meant I was suspected to be the mastermind now I believe that these leaks were sort of a way of pressuring the government to act and let me ask you last of all what it's been like to be a journalist in Malta in the shadow of the smarter How did how did things fall for you. Well I'm help seeking to us just having this conversation you know it's. That think ironically it's it was an inspiration to many people especially my south I was going to stop writing when she was assassinated and I continued my south and a handful of other colleagues my editor shift news Caroline my scar she I mean she receives constant harassment and this comes from politicians and political figures his route my websites have been attacked in cyber attacks regularly when we publish sensitive stories. As a result of this interview I've braced myself for food full out be it trolling or a smear campaign or something you know we're it's a very difficult situation for journalists motet because not only did the threats that we received seem a little more serious now but even just commenting on their so you know they killed another journalist it makes us wonder our position in the big grand scheme of things you know it's very concerning Gaucher of reprieve thank you very much and it really mean I really mean thank you and it's she deserves she deserves it she wasn't killed because she lied she was killed because she was telling the wrong stories she was killed because she was right and. We have Jesus journalists to honor her memory by continuing doing what we're doing so that's what we're doing I was Taylor at the shift news in Malta where a businessman has now been arrested in connection with the of the journalist staff by car on a girl it. Well assuming giant Netflix says it's going to change the map used in a documentary series about John Demjanjuk the notorious prison guard the trip like a death camp This follows a letter of complaint being received from the Polish prime minister's office no less. Matt day has been telling me all about it as The Daily Telegraph correspondent in Warsaw and he told me why the SMOP a so controversial well warmed controversial relative all the Polish government for many poses a lot of course is that he just shoot a map of modern Poland and on the map there were various laws. To the police coming in the prime minister this was outrageous he said that many things would be writing history because it sort of gave the impression that all these nazi camps were in modern Poland and there's a logic was that the people see this map in think all these camps were in Poland maybe they were Polish and maybe the poles and some sort of wole in the whole list he was in and we prime minister I mean was this map changed in recent times how long ago was it was it just after the war the boundaries of modern Poland were drawn you know this is. All and there's has nothing common with people or very little in common with the pre-war map of Poland and of course during the war went on with little or the like from the map of Europe by the Nazis and tunics and disappearing as well the apparent just disappeared. In the map in the Netflix documentary series on wealth and in small shape so I were Ok you on one can understand slightly hurt feelings but it goes far beyond that doesn't it because it goes to appear. Fairly fundamental plank of the Scotland. This government has sought for trade. Protector opponent a good name and trying to make sure that there is no. Launders no libel against Poland either accidental or deliberate and picky when it comes to the war this government is tremendously sensitive about any of any implication either deliberate or accidental that Poland was involved in the Holocaust in some way or the Polish state was involved in the Holocaust for example 'd they will come down in you like a ton of bricks is anybody if you use a term polish that can wish some constructive in the press and they will say you get emails to get government to say look it's not there it's just confused Nazi German concentration camp death camps and it is a very very sensitive issue it sort of ties in with the. Anti Semitism thank you Semitism as well which is one of the official another issue to stream it's a sensitive issue in Poland so the government they walk a very fine line sometimes I think they go overboard in trying to control things but it is a very emotional issue in Poland. In Warsaw. Now what happens to us when we walk around an art gallery you are in the National Gallery and you see something wonderful and then you see something even more wonderful things that have a way of conditioning what you make of the thing you're going to see next it's often said that beauty is in the eye of the behold or but beauty might have a lot to do with what you've already seen according to our x. Guest here is Professor David l. a From the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney Hello Professor l.a. . Good morning Rob modeling will is a lovely study to do I imagine did it take you to some of the best our galleries in the world well we certainly looked at a lot of artworks we needed to compile a list of a 100 paintings that we could then present on computer screens and show our samples that it was a lot of fun Alice spent searching for beautiful objects that would do the job. And what was the job you actually set out to do what it what did you want to prove. Well what we've learned recently and in the way we studies of perception is that actually the way we perceive the world in general and a whole lot of things is not instantaneous and veridical it's actually influenced by the things we've just seen and this was 9 for some very basic visual properties like you know Khalil shape or something and we thought well. You know can we extend this a little higher to something a little more abstract like if you looked at a beautiful picture are you influenced by the past and the sort of influence I'm talking about is not the one that you might think people think oh when you see an unattractive painting the next one is bound to look more attractive by comparison it's a bit counterintuitive when you see one image if it's beautiful you're more likely to write the next one as more beautiful and if the previous one was unattractive you're more likely to see the next one as unattractive so you tend to follow what you've just just seem so. Give us a little example of that I mean if you if you're in the. Difficult to. Sort of put it all together but what did you do did you take well known artworks and then the wind we had a lot of the look at Yeah yeah well it was done on a computer screen for the convenience and it was a very simple task so we had groups now these were university students I should point out and they simply saw these paintings that were any flashed up for a 2nd so they didn't really get to inspect them and think about them they just before last stop and they just made an adjustment using a slide back to say how much they liked it and the thing was they'd save a sample of pictures 20 times but in a random order every time through and so were given a painting would be rated once coming after I don't know banking number 17 but the next time you're right at the same painting on the next run amount of come after you know $32.00 or whatever so we could have a look at whether your rating of a given painting depended on the previous one and in fact it did and if the previous one was one that you consistently rated high you found attractive an aesthetic leap pleasing that it would always bias the next one to be higher and it fits in this basically fits in with something we've learnt in just the recent few years that actually you know when we perceive anything whether it's something as basic as a sound or a flash of light or something but now also works we know that we're actually averaging in what we've recently seen so we're biased towards the recent past in the way we perceive the world and in the way the do that you in sound things that were relatively brutal and modern I'm thinking about a Francis Bacon portrayed or something next to something more of the chalet sublight was it was that what you tried to do did you try to kind of get people's perceptions to change by by almost. You I would say tricking them but you know where I'm coming from yeah no I know so there was no particular bias we had a range of paintings some were very traditional So the one thing was I didn't have people in them there was no portraits or pictures involving people because people and faces activate a very particular part of the brain and we didn't want to go down that path so there are all landscapes all unnecessary landscapes but but still life send and things like that. There were some abstract paintings in there as well and we did find that abstract paintings tended to polarize people a little more but one of the really interesting things was we run this experiment twice on 2 separate groups of people and the question is would the ratings of the 2nd group show any correlation with the ratings of the 1st group and of course if people find the same things attractive in the 2 groups should correlate quite highly and they certainly did that's exactly what we found we were surprised by how strongly the ratings of one group are aligned with the next group so that it suggests that there are some basic properties in our works that that that may make us like them that are static be pleasing regardless of changes in particular subject matter that certain color and texture and size and so forth that is just generally seen as as pleasing or else the 2 different groups wouldn't have correlated so highly Well you are you full of admiration for the work of gallery curators who writes I haven't figured out how to hang these things Yeah well they have a tough job done today and. They have to class to things in by period all by Sometimes size to put a few small ones together because he can only put a big one on one entire wall and they've got to create tell a story the way they deploy their art works and so that's that is important too I guess because as study involved very short presentation it's not so short that she couldn't make the judgment it was easy to decide if you liked it or not but they were short So imagine you flicking through the catalogue you've just arrived at the gallery and you've just flicking through the catalogue that's exactly like our experiment just you having a quick look at each pages it flicks past deciding what you will like what you like to see and precisely under those conditions you are being influenced by the one you just sort of tracked to it so an attractive one when you flick the page makes the next one look more attractive so I think gallery curators do have a challenging job and what we're talking about is more that sort of rapid quick look at the painting you know it might be through the catalog or it might be just as you walk in and scan the room it's the same sort of thing you scan the paintings quickly this is where our effect would really hold true for Sally thank you for talking to us.

Radio 5 live down about up and down the country today we're in Southampton we are not doing as well as a lot of other developed economies I think it's important to get. Funding is quite complicated it's not quite as straightforward as the numbers to to appear really really take. The essential coverage of the elections. And join me I dream channels Friday morning the 10 live from the region the build up to the election right here on the 5 life. This is b.b.c. Radio 5 Live available on the b.b.c. Sounds all night with rock shop right there were some striking news from Myanmar the country formally known as Burma when they announced their civilian leader also . Is going to lead the legal team International Court of Justice in The Hague next month where she will argue the case that Myanmar did not commit genocide against their own hands or people the case was filed last week by Gambia on behalf of the 57 countries in the organization over Islamic Cooperation more than 700000 members of the Muslim minority wrote into fled to neighboring Bangladesh after a military campaign in 2017 but a few of them have so far returned Dr Ronn leaders visiting scholar at Queen Mary University in London and as research focuses on the road and genocide and I asked him how significant it is that she herself is going to be leading the legal representation Well it means that she is prepared even though she doesn't she's not required to constitutionally she's prepared to disturb. And the actions that most people consider genocide that that's the significance I think in terms of what's going on here that there's been a lot of talk about Aung San Suu Kyi been in a bind in Myanmar where she's she's the civilian head but there's a powerful military and that's cattails her ability to to speak out for human rights but this is an instance where she's volunteered to front up and defend the actions of me and Miles military during the 4 steeple Taishan of the Richenda I mean you when investigators are concerned that Raheem get a still in me and mine are at imminent risk of genocide and that's in those circumstances and with with 7 150000 refugees forced out of me and my During 20 scenting 2820 Aung San Suu Kyi is putting a hand up and saying I'll go to The Hague I will defend the actions of me amounts military it's astounding that a Nobel laureate would would be doing that well I'm very interested that you use the word that take your breath away when you had this news. Well look I mean I can't imagine a circumstance where anyone would have scripted this I mean when you consider standing when she was released from house arrest in 2000 and pain she was I mean in many ways what you call the secular site she had the international community certainly the Western international community wrapped around her little finger they took the lead from her in terms of their actions towards me and not so on things like sanctions She said Please remove the sanctions. At that time and the international community did it was too soon I mean we've we've now learned because what's happened is that it's it's in Bold and the bad guys in Myanmar who other military I mean let's let's be clear the civilian politician not the worst but the role of Aung San Suu Kyi is that she is the one. The one figure that could unify the country against the military and if she's choosing to support the military rather than making it clear to the community that the military are the problem which I think they are going it's really clear that in terms of the force deportation of the genocide it's of the reason that it's me and most military in terms of the civil war with other ethnic minorities where there's been many of the many of the crimes perpetrated against the regime have been replicated in other parts of me and not gainst Shan groups kitchen care rain chain but in that circumstance only Century Sochi is prepared to leave me and my travel to the Hague and defend the actions of me in Mao's military as you said she is the only one isn't isn't she in Myanmar who would make this impact on the world stage. Yeah this is a p.r. Exercise for me and I mean that's that's quite clear it's not it's not smart politics in terms of it's not going to have the outcome at the International Court of Justice but I think on sensitive seats it Mysore that the military might hope I mean they would be they would be probably you think better advised to send lawyers to do to make the case but this is a p.r. Exercise this is a bash on San Suu Kyi signaling to people within me and my that she's back in the military and it's a better signaling I think to the international community to that she is backing me and mows military it's I think in the future going to be one of the events that we look back on in terms of me and my history and we consider a genuinely key inflection point this is the time that the great hope for democracy and me and not against the military dictatorship that that rule that country for 50 years and ruined its economy and mistreated its people this is the time but the great hope changed sides and made very clear which side they support they support the military. Lest people wonder this is a very new thing isn't to this case the International Court of Justice and it's fascinating to see that it's led by Gambia how come it's led by Gambia Well the Gambian authorities have been gathering the evidence for some time and they've cooperated with u.n. Investigators know they've relied on some of the investigation that's been undertaken by by the u.n. Human Rights Council independent fact finding mission into me and my search so it hasn't been put together. In a sloppy wide I've done this quite competently but I think quite importantly Gambians attorney general Mr Boudicca. Tempeh was involved as as a younger lawyer was involved with the Rwandan tribunals. And I'm certain that that experience has been formative in terms of his attitude towards wash he sees happening in me and my With the ring. And I think that says a loss. Has serious the circumstances faced by the regime have been and the nature of the crimes that they've been subjected to that people who were involved in the Rwandan tribunals have looked at the Reading this case and thought we want our government we want our country to be involved in trying to put these rice and Gambia is taking the lead on behalf of the so I see that the other 57 allies the countries and all recut present to all involved in this action. This is quite This is quite significant and it but but importantly it it's one of 2 actions that are under way at the moment I mean this is the International Court of Justice of the Seas at the seas Gambia saying as a signatory to the genocide convention they believe that me and mine has not done its job as a fellow signatory to the genocide convention I mean their responsibility as as a signatory is to prevent and punish the crime of genocide and and by extension not commit genocide. The the 1st hearing in December will be a bash requesting me and mine to make sure it stops any ongoing actions that might be genocide so that that's that's when all offensive is objecting to the request at the preliminary request from the Gambia that from Gambia that me and my stop actions that might be considered genocide but there's another court case that's under way and this week the International Criminal Court. A pretrial chamber they a guy at the chief prosecutor the authority to undertake a full investigation of me and mom for crimes against humanity and other crimes committed against the rigging Now what's important about the International Criminal Court is that it can prosecute individuals as opposed to the International Court of Justice which is about countries. That are in dispute with each other but the i.c.c. Can take on individuals and prosecute individuals for their role and the worry I think for a long sense of change in making hisself so same trip to me in Mao's defense of the International Court of Justice case she puts herself squarely in the headlights of the International Criminal Court moving forward brought in Lee. Well solar energy is a wonderful thing but the one thing I haven't been able to do up to no paradoxically perhaps is reach a very high temperature solar energy is just fine when it's on the roof for heating the domestic water tank or maybe a secondary Washington thank but up to no and just you know uses been somewhat limited say about chains and a clean energy company in which Bill Gates has an interest called helium says it's discovered a way to use Ai and a field of motors to reflect so much sunlight they can generate temperatures above $1000.00 degrees Celcius Bill Gross is the founder of Helio gen and he joins us now hello Bill hi how are you thanks for having me you know it's great to have you with us really how does how does your installation which you know at 1st blush maybe looks like a field of solar panels differ from a field of solar panels well to little solar panels produce electricity by converting photons to electrons our field is a field of tracking mirrors so these mirrors are all concentrating sunlight to a single spot that's how we can achieve that very high temperature so that magine if you were in a football field and you're holding a mirror to reflect sunlight to someone across the way but now imagine 50000 people all had mirrors and reflecting them to that single spot if you can get them accurate enough to all focus together you can achieve these high temperatures and we developed the software with computer vision systems to point all those mirrors so precisely that we can achieve those temperatures and I've seen the the video so somewhere along the way there must be this almost really of intense heat heading up to this receptor on top of a tower How did how does it work how does that do you actually see it. You do what happens is though that we're taking the sunlight from 93000000 miles away concentrating the rays together into that single spot and we're actually creating a temperature at that spot which is one 3rd the temperature of the surface of the sun so it's very very hot so it's glowing white hot almost like a miniature sun but now at these temperatures that are basically a 1000 degrees Centigrade or 2000 degrees Fahrenheit now what you can do it that is take industrial processes that have to burn fossil fuel to reach does have pictures and replace it with the sun and that's really what we're doing we're trying to replace fossil fuels with sunlight so we could have no c o 2 emissions times by marvelous do you know it reminds me of the James Bond film mind you where you get a satellite in orbit and it's beaming down. The North Korean border it's pretty damaging stuff. Yes well we're not doing that they're not causing any damage but we are taking some very dirty industries concrete steel making glass making and taking the c o 2 out of them by using the sun you know why why a cement fracture hadn't realised such high temperatures were needed to produce a Yes So 1st of all cement is 8 percent of the world's global emissions so it's a huge huge amount of the c o 2 problem and the way cement is made is by taking limestone and baking it to a 1000 degrees centigrade and at that temperature it release is it c o 2 and gets ready to be put in the kiln to make the actual concrete. So it takes heat just like it takes heat to make almost all of our minerals in the world you know for steel for iron ore It just takes an intense amount of heat and formally that heat only comes from fossil fuels now that high temperature he can come from the sun. Just amazing possibilities and and will it scale so it was a question isn't it at some point. Yes Well listen to how how well it's calles we can take one acre of land and create one megawatt of thermal energy and it scales exactly linearly So if you want 10 megawatts 10 acres 100 megawatts 100 acres and we can use relatively inexpensive land say near a quarry or near a steel mill or deal these industrial features and his specially we can even use land in the desert with the sunshine is great but where the land is not very expensive so the whole idea is you sunshine is renewable fuel not just to make electricity which we do now but the power industry which is well a way more polluting than the electricity that we have now listen I'm I'm guessing that are some investment professionals out there who are who are thinking to themselves we're going to is this Bill Gross he's talking to from from Pimco you. Know how come you go from investment management all the way to solar energy now it's a different Bill Gross So Bill Gross the famous But Bester and on the Bill Gross of the ideal that being the baiter so I've been well I stuffed all that stuff more of my life thing. Still I suppose and I mean you've still got big money in those haven't you because you need big money to do stuff like this Yes well the whole idea is if we can make green energy for these processes cheaper than fossil fuel then we don't need big money because everybody will want it and in fact we just announced the company yesterday we have more than 100 responses from around the world that people are interested in usenets technology to both we do star fuel cost but also we do c o $2.00 emissions so my whole dream with renewable energy is the way to make a scale is to beat the price of fossil fuel with no subsidies then people will just pull it from you they'll be no laws required no pushing required no incentives people will just want it because it actually is money and it's good for the planet at the same time. Bill Gross from ideal Aba know from Helio Jen thank you very much Bill for being our guest Thanks Look thank you very much well it's time for us to take a look at what's been going on in the world of science this week with Sandy Yong Ho Sandy when he writes well a question here about dog years tell us more. Yes So a team of researchers from the University of California San Diego published a study last month of a new improved formula for calculating how old a dog is in relation to humans and it turns out it's not as simple as one dog you know equals 7 human years which is what many of us used even though that formula was debunked a few years ago for not have been any scientific basis so to understand how dogs really the researchers looked at a process called d.n.a. Methylation now as animals get older their d.n.a. Picks up metal groups which is basically one carbon and 3 hydrogen atoms and these crooks stick to the d.n.a. So they don't change the d.n.a. Itself but they can turn south in genes on and off and because methylation occurs a steady rate in human beings as we age scientists can use it to estimate a person's biological age so for the Study the team looked at methylation rates in $104.00 Labrador retrievers and they compared it to that of $320.00 humans and what they found was that well a dog initially a just at the same weight as humans and then speeds through puberty and we just sexual maturity much quicker but after that the aging process slows down to match human beings again so the new formula they're proposing to use is to multiply the natural logarithm of a dog's age by 16 and then adding $31.00 yes to that so according RINGBACK to the formula a 2 year old dog would be equivalent to a 42 year old human but things slow down after that and a fact the old dog is about the same as a 56.75 year old human and a 10 year old dog is about the same as a 67.8 year old person. So dogs don't really help along those run the teenagers they get over that pretty quickly. Yet they do. So very interesting the change in the in the aging process what you call methylation the idea that the their aging process it's still never slows down to match the human aging process though does it can't it can't get an out of hours. Yeah I mean it's sad that all of us know that dogs don't live as long as humans as much as you wish they do you know the process yeah and as is this true across all the species it doesn't make any difference what kind of or what breed of dog you've got I think it actually does so the study was only done in one species the Labrador retrievers and now the scientists want to expand the study to encompass other breeds of dogs because of this the smaller dogs versus larger dogs they have different rates of aging susceptible to different types of diseases so it's important to study across the different it's well but it may explain why you know dog's behavior changes so rapidly in their early years you know and you want some. You know stop chewing on that sort of thing and start pouncing on you the moment you come through the door. Definitely there's a have more scientific application. You know it could do in terms of the way we approach treating diseases in dogs as well and the reason they chose dog traveling cats or any other type of domestic animals is because they live in a very similar environment to human beings and the are the same kind of health care more or less is available to them Well it's time to an amazing stone circle in Poland and it's really old. Yeah so this massive stone age monument was uncovered in northwest pull in close to the German border and the site dates that nearly 7000 years making it one of the oldest human structures in Europe so it was 1st discovered in 2015 when a paraglider few over it and noticed the strange patterns of the ground that looked like crop circles so it's similar to Stonehenge in the sense that it's a secular shape color around all as 360 feet in diameter which makes it 3 times the size of Stonehenge and if you look at the pictures the structure has a central area surrounded by 3 gates that lead into the lead into it and that's surrounded by 4 circular ditches between 4 to 6 and a half feet deep and each one is larger and deeper than the last church so archaeologist believes that the structure was used by new Let it people for between 200 to 250 years and it's a place where they would go and wash it divine forces conduct rituals and use a some sort of astronomical calendar. Interestingly enough there are about a $130.00 similar 1 ring structures across Europe mostly in Germany Poland in the Czech Republic which suggests there's some kind of common culture across these places. And when you when they when they look at all the the art of stuff I mean the just beginning obviously to figure out how this stone circle was used was ignored I mean it was it was ignored by the locals or as a whole on the the growth of the remains over I think they were under the ground so they had to excavate them which is that in 2017 but they're digging up hundreds of bones and ceramics and all these other artifacts that you mentioned So which the scientists are now analyzing to figure out how this place was actually used and how often they will come here to conduct rituals and all that. Well and a very quick mention of dinosaur for those really are such things yes and it's the 1st time for that dinosaur. Fossils have been discovered at the assholes which provide strong evidence for the 1st time that we did have living and. Thank you so much. Thanks writer. For anyone on this b.b.c.
