When the storm came, fractured libya was ill prepared. Half a years rainfall fell in 2a hours. In daylight, as much as a quarter of the Port City Of Derna was revealed to be gone. Engulfed by flood water after two Mountain Dams failed. Families were washed out to sea as they slept. The grim work to retrieve the lost is underway. With terrible force, the floods swept through this city. Destroying homes, cars, bridges. There was no warning, no evacuation order. Gently, the body of a child is recovered from the rubble. Few here are being found alive. Derna and libya are overwhelmed. Its too much for those left grieving. Entire families were swallowed by the deluge. Translation i already lost six people. We managed to take out three and we did not find the other three people. We are searching for the bodies here. We could not find them. Translation this is| gods will and destiny. I lost my sister and her daughters. May god have mercy on the dead and bring back the lost. Derna has long been

This week, a new way to detect alzheimers lara visits the Virtual Reality world, helping in the early diagnosis of dementia. Oh, im quite close. Yeah, well. Well, relatively close. Maybe im not that close at all. Would you be happy with your kids taking this kind of Science Lesson . With the right amount of pressure, the Great Pyramid could generate. A tremendous amount of electricity. Well investigate the ai targeting children with disinformation. And were in india to see how the diamond industry could become more sustainable by growing precious stones in a lab. The Royal Institution of great britain.

The Royal Institution of great britain. For the past two centuries, this independent charity has sought to connect as many people as possible with the wonders of science. Famed for its christmas lectures, which are aired by the bbc, the Royal Institutions iconic theatre is a place where leading scientists regularly share their work with live audiences. One area of Scientific Research which affects us all is in the diagnosis and treatment of serious illnesses. Now, the great thing is science has helped us live longer, but the flip side of that is that we are now discovering illnesses which mainly only occur in old age. Yeah. Many of us have watched the decline of loved ones with dementia, and whilst theres no cure, there are treatments to help manage the symptoms. Its really important to diagnose it early, though, and technology is helping to play its part in that. Since the 1940s, gps have been Testing Memory with pen and paper. And the results of that test are confirmed by a lumbar pu
I think might be as close as i am. Well, i dont know how i did, but it seemed rather challenging and ive done a lot of vr before, so im used to Walking Around in one of these headsets. I wonder how it would be for someone doing it for the first time for this purpose. Maybe itd be thoroughly immersive so it would do the job well, or maybe it would be a bit distracting and make them feel a bit nervous. I dont know. The test doesnt discriminate based on language or culture. Navigation is something that we all do. We think that this is therefore a test that works across different cultures, regardless of education, language, demographics. But we havent tested those diverse populations who historically have always been slightly disenfranchised by standard testing and say, well, actually, we can do it, we can apply this one and identify in you too. Weve seen a Turning Point in alzheimers detection recently. Researchers have developed a blood test that could uncover the disease long before sym
