Worldwide through digitize ation modern technologies are taking the museum from the past to the future the digital record of these moths collected in vietnam makes the journey there are necessary now researchers anywhere in the world can access them on a computer. Museum intends to digitize all 30000000 specimens in its collections. We have a Global Collection and we want to be part of a bigger Global Network well for that someone like alexander fun who is the great role model he was the 1st globally thinking politically thinking networks of german scientists. To exhibitions present the world in the tradition of home as a holistic entity from the origin of the earth to simulations of how it might look 250000000 years from now. Wants to make his museum fit for the future. Just like to. Me its not just the interplay of responsibility and freedom but a very interesting piece of wisdom from africa its the best time to have planted a tree was 20 years ago the 2nd best time is today. And that is what should guide us we shouldnt moan about whether we should have rescued the world 20 years ago or not and what we did wrong back then but instead. We have to actively shape today and tomorrow. And the study of nature is a major contribution to that goal as oleksandr from home world shows.

Because you know we often take to facebook to ask you what you think about various issues. This time we asked how you feel about tattoos. So long can you need james would like to get one but his mother wont hit him for religious reasons. Says tattoos are a way to express your personality she says it all depends on what you want to say she herself doesnt have one and she says thats a form of selfexpression to. Sunny auto cockcrow rejoin points to the artistic merit of tattoos describing them as an asset for both the artist and the person receiving the tattoo. Body art is popular all around the world one survey found that nearly half of people in italy are in. The incidence is almost as high in sweden the United States australia and argentina. And while tattoos arent that common everywhere in countries like brazil france and germany over a 3rd of people report having at least one. But what do tattoos actually do in the body lets take a look at the science. Michelle hale has been thinking about this tattoo for years hes come to ritchie an artist who specializes in brightly colored and photo realistic. Misha is a paramedic and he wants a blue star with the serpent entwined rod of his clip a God Associated with healing and medicine. Does he actually know why tattoos dont disappear over time. Very directed into a deeper layer of the skin so when it regenerated doesnt come out. The Scientific Consensus was that pigments were locked into a layer of connected to recent Research Shows they actually end up in white blood cells called macrophages. Marsay is a port city on the french mediterranean coast tattoos are a common sight here. Lots of people have them. A team of immunologists at xmas a university thinks they might have figured out why tattoos are prominent. And they used to help this super mouse. Its been specially bred so that researchers can target and kill the macrophages in its skin. This is done under completely sterile conditions because macrophages are a crucial part of the immune system. Just cellular debris and foreign substances. Immunologist. Has tattooed the tails of several mice. If the tattoo pigment really is in gulf by the macrophages that it should disappear as soon as the macrophages die. But it doesnt. Hoping for some answers. Examines the macrophages of the tattoo under the microscope. And what we see that. Its were using the ink and as you can see here all the ink in the now if you wait longer then that will be. By new arriving and thats what you find here and again. This is a brand new insight so the researchers want to make sure theyre not mistaken that the ink really is passing between the macrophages so they transfer the skin of a tattooed mouse onto an un tattooed one to see the color transfers. And indeed the macrophages from the un tattooed mouse take up the ink pass to it from the tattooed mouse. Where the explosion runs toward those thats really. Not me those says are always taking up and then and then taking up again. That also explains why tattoos often face or become blurry over time the new macrophages dont manage to catch all the thats been released. So what happens to the ink that escapes medical physicist. Is researching that at the university of in germany. He cut open the lymph nodes. And discovered that some of the pigment had ended up there he found green and red. Your stomach that about 30 percent of the pigments remain in the skin but the person with the tattoo hardly notices the reduction because the colors are so intense the rest gets carried off some ends up in the lymph nodes and deliver a smaller amount hasnt been. Expelled from the body. Anybody who wants to get a tattoo should be aware of the fact that a lot of the pigment will remain in their body for ever and that includes cancer causing substances. So what happens when someone wants to remove their tattoo. I want to wear short sleeves at family events or in the summer i cant identify with my tattoos anymore its not me i want them removed the steps scientific. The standard way to remove tattoos nowadays is by laser. I really have to force myself to go its very painful its. The laser blasts the pigment molecules into smaller pieces and destroys the enclosing macrophages other macrophages take up some of this pigment so it doesnt disappear straight away i need to has to have 4 appointments and all the latest findings from france might change these painful procedures thats would be the future of. That to make sure that the michael. Anymore and to of this is that would be draining the big months out of the skin. But trying to switch off the immune response briefly for the duration of the laser removal procedure is a suggestion that professor boiler rejects. The laser destroys tissue in the skin it causes tiny tears on the skin surface he is letting bacteria so its not a good idea to knock out the macrophages and the very cells that would heal the wound and attack the bacteria. But for one is certain he wont ever need to go through the removal process. Of others i want to keep it forever its also. Probably good he feels that way because that tattoo is here to stay. And thats it from tomorrow today tune in next time for the latest installment of our expedition in the footsteps of home but until then its goodbye take care. Of.

This is due to the news live from berlin and a u. S. Lawmaker will be allowed to visit israel after all u. S. Representative procedure to leave then another congresswoman had been barred from israel just yesterday their planned visit torpedoed by a tweet from President Trump so whats behind the reversal also coming out of a show of whats to come trying to say just military girls just outside hong kong once again raising concerns that patient might question concert prodemocracy movements by force.

And the new bundesliga season is getting underway dire need a host of part of our lead tonight it is the start of their bid for an 8 straight german title expect to be tested. To the limit this time. I. Am sunni so much kind of good to have you with us a Us Democratic congresswoman who had been barred from visiting israel along with another lawmaker has now received special permission to visit her palestinian grandmother in the west Bank Representative or she dared to leave will be allowed into the country on humanitarian grounds in a petition to the Israeli Government she agreed not to promote boycotts against israel during her visit now the u. Turn comes just a day after israel announced it was boring to leave and fellow muslim congresswoman omar over their support for a Boycott Campaign against a jewish state that is known as b d s. Lets go right to our correspondent tanya kramer shes standing by for us in jerusalem with the very latest on the story hi time there good to see you so it seems now that rashida to leave the congresswoman will be allowed in tell us what happened. Yeah this is to be another turnabout in this long story Prime Minister netanyahu had already suggested on thurston his statement explaining why the 2 congresswoman would not be allowed into israel that she could actually file a request on humanitarian grounds to see her family who lists and the occupied west bank and it appears to mrs written that request and that the interior ministry has now granted. Her request that she can visit a family in the occupied west bank and this letter thats circulating in the local media the congresswoman has said that this would be her last chance probably just see her and indeed grandmother in her ninetys we believe and that she would also train at our you know making this a political visit so this is why the interior ministry has given her the green light to enter israel to move on to the occupied palestinian territory. But this is Something Different i have to say that from the originally planned official visit of the 2 Congress Women time it is israel then backing down. Well this is a totally different kind of this it so to speak its granted on humanitarian grounds and already the fact that it was granted on humanitarian grounds that she had to make that request has already has now drawn a lot of criticism by human rights activists also social media pointing to the fact that she had to apply to the israeli authorities to visit her very own grandmother who lives in the. West bank and the same time also theres a question mark as when it comes to those restrictions so its pretty clear. Its not yet clear i have to say what it actually means on the ground its certainly not the political visit that has been planned its now labeled as a private. Visit and also it seems a congresswoman and omar was scheduled to come. To the to the visitor is still not allowed. To come into israel and the occupied west bank so its still to see also what the reactions will be in the u. S. Especially among democrats to this latest development tanya kramer reporting with the very latest there in jerusalem thank you tanya now to some other stories making news around the world india says it will gradually lift restrictions on movement and communication in kashmir in the coming days the government made the announcement at Supreme Court hearing on lifting a media blackout kashmir has been in lockdown for 12 days since delhi revoked the Region Special status. North korea has launched at least 2 projectiles from near the city of tongue chon into the east sea that is according to the south Korean Military it is the 6th round of launches in recent weeks and protested military drills between south korea and the u. S. Has rejected any further peace talks with seoul. In zimbabwe scores of people have been injured in a Police Crackdown on an opposition protest in harare the rally took place despite a ban apel by the countrys High Court Supporters of the Opposition Movement for Democratic Change accuse the government of state sponsored violence and corruption. An Iranian Oil Tanker is preparing to set sail from gibraltar after being held there since early july the british territory has released the grace one despite a last minute legal bid by the us to keep the ship in detention now the vessel was seized under suspicion of bringing a rainy and oil to syria which would violate e. U. And us sanctions iran has denied that its cargo was ever bound for syria after the grace one was captured iran seized a british flag tanker in the strait of hormuz a Key International shipping route. And our correspondent is in the strait of hormuz in iran and she gave us this is of whether that british flag tanker would now be released to the British Black tanker has already been moved from the place where it was detained in the strait of hormuz a couple of weeks ago closer to the port in bandar abbas where the Islamic Revolutionary guards are controlling everything and thats a place we have foreign specifically as journalists cannot go to as we were told to not quote and danger proceedings so apparently theyre still preparing for an exchange but we have to keep in mind that the revolutionary guards and iran as a whole do not have a lot of trust in the United States or the United Kingdom so before the iranian vessel in gibraltar eyes not freed this peril here in the persian gulf will not be released either irans foreign minister zarif said. The time to stop the release of the tanker was an attempt to piracy move so he said washington was abusing the International Legal system to steal iranian property and that is if you sat by many iranians as well weve spoken to some people here. And they said they do not want a conflict to happen with other countries not here in their region and not elsewhere but that they are willing to step up and defend their own country if necessary so that is why everybody here in the persian gulf is monitoring very closely what is happening in. So there is a tougher reporting there from the strait of hormuz now to hong kong where the likelihood that mainland Chinese Forces take direct action against protesters might be increasing a newspaper seen as a beijing mouthpiece is backing intervention the global times says that if hong kong cannot restore the rule of law on its own it is imperative for the Central Government to take direct action the paper also insists that there will not be any repeat of the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1909 when the chinese army fired on protesters in beijing Chinese Armed police have been carrying out drills on the border to hong kong where more protests are planned today. And we spoke to his charlotte shell some pill in hong kong earlier and asked about those statements in the Chinese Media that seem to suggest that beijing is preparing to send in troops to restore order in hong kong no one has forgotten what happened in Tiananmen Square as you mention in 1989 but i think most analysts think that its still extremely unlikely that china that beijing will send in troops into hong kong sent a 70 imminently they people think its unlikely best because it would come at a huge economic and political cost to beijing people here say that their main concern at the moment is the increasingly hardened rhetoric coming out of beijing and the impact that that will have on authorities here in hong kong people here say that the police have become increasingly violent over recent weeks they worry that that could could escalate even further they also are concerned about the sanctions that protesters could face for taking to the streets at the moment dozens of protesters have been charged with rioting that sentence a charge that carries up to 10 years in prison and people fear that that once from beijing such as terrorism which now were now hearing that they describe these protests as close to terrorism could mean that we could see even even a high a sentence is even higher sanctions for some of the people who are taking to the streets. Well meanwhile a daredevil frenchman who is known for climbing skyscrapers around the world has scaled a 62 Story Building in hong kong in a plea for peace island robert dunn spiderman scaled kong center using his bare hands and without a harness he unveiled a banner featuring both the chinese and hong kong flags the sound was part of an appeal for an end to the current on a rest in hong kong.
