Can future pandemics be prevented?

Ebola, COVID-19 and mpox - some of the illnesses caused by germs that jump from animals to humans. In the Central African Republic, researchers are searching for the origins of these zoonotic diseases. Frédéric Singa is a WWF veterinarian working in the Dzanga-Sangha Protected Areas in the Central African Republic. He captures bats, collects samples from gorilla droppings, and talks to people with diseases to better understand which pathogens are circulating in the forest. As part of his research, Singa also plans to regularly test bushmeat sold in local markets, but to do so he needs the community to be on his side. Will he manage to convince skeptical hunters and market vendors to support his project? The samples Singa collects are analyzed in a field laboratory in the rainforest and sent abroad, including to Germany, for further testing. Professor Fabian Leendertz at the Helmholtz Institute for One Health in Greifswald, Germany researches the emergence of new infectious diseases and maps global risk areas. The connection between the rainforests of Central Africa and the health of people in Europe is

Chernobyl of the Pacific: Inside America's Nuclear Paradise

Between 1946 and 1958, the U.S. detonated 23 nuclear weapons over Bikini Atoll, unleashing a firestorm that would poison four generations. Nuked resurrects the suppressed history of the Cold War’s first victims – the Bikinian people, torn from paradise and condemned to wander a radioactive diaspora. Through meticulously restored archival footage, the film amplifies the voices of those who watched their ancestral home become ground zero, juxtaposing their testimonies against the terrifying spectacle of mushroom clouds that once lit up the Pacific sky. As climate change now drowns their exile settlements beneath rising seas, the displaced fight a dual battle: against the ghosts of nuclear imperialism and the rising tides of an indifferent world. A searing indictment of colonial power and a rallying cry for justice, Nuked asks: When the land itself becomes a weapon, where does survival begin?

Detroit: Living in Ghost Town

In 2013, Detroit, once the booming heartbeat of the American auto industry and the home of Motown, declared bankruptcy. As car factories moved abroad, over a million residents left, turning "Motown" into a ghost town. But inside one small Detroit barbershop, the soul of the city is still alive. Meet Roberto (73), a legendary local barber who once styled the iconic hair of Motown’s biggest stars. Today, soul music still blares from his jukebox, and his regular customers, mostly over 70, still come in for the classic Chuck Berry glam hairdo. Barber Shop Detroit is a moving short documentary about pride, survival, and nostalgia in the face of economic decay. It’s a story of how holding onto the past helps a community endure the present. As one customer puts it: “If you take care of your hair, your hair will take care of you.” Barber Shop Episode 3 - Detroit / USA Director: Luc Vrydaghs Producer: Emmy Oost Production: Cassette for timescapes

More than 200 historical photographs take you through the final days of the Third Reich and reveal scenes rarely shown in documentaries. In the summer of 1941, as Nazi Germany launched Operation Barbarossa against the Soviet Union, thousands of Spanish volunteers set off for the Eastern Front to form the Blue Division. Officially integrated into the Wehrmacht as the 250th Infantry Division, this unit was deployed to the Leningrad sector, where it would face one of the harshest environments of the entire Second World War. What many expected to be a swift campaign turned into a war of attrition defined by extreme cold, supply shortages, and relentless Soviet attacks. Over the months, the Blue Division built an unexpected reputation among both allies and foes. Despite limited resources and fighting thousands of miles from home, its soldiers held out against repeated Red Army assaults in fortified positions along the Leningrad front.

The Largest Star We Know May Be Nearing Its Breaking Point

In the vast dark, a star two thousand times bigger than our Sun may be dying right now. Its surface could reach past the orbit of Saturn. Its light takes nineteen thousand years to reach us. So when we look at it tonight, we are not looking at now. We are looking at the past, and what we see may already be gone. We call it Stephenson 2-18. A star so massive that our entire Sun would look like a grain of dust beside it. A star cooler than a candle flame compared to most stars, yet more than four hundred thousand times brighter than our Sun. Tonight, we travel there. We will watch it swell, shudder, and shed pieces of itself into space. We will meet the star that stole its crown, and the astronomer who found it by accident. We will ask what happens in the final years before a giant like this tears itself apart.

American Dream - An original Moconomy video, with Daniel speaking, about how artificial intelligence is reshaping jobs, housing, and the future of the American Dream. American Dream (2026) Synopsis: Artificial intelligence promises to boost productivity and transform the economy, but it is also creating a new wave of job insecurity. In this original Moconomy video, Daniel breaks down how the fear of automation is already affecting the way millions of Americans think about work, income, and the possibility of owning a home. From AI-driven layoffs and automated customer service to the growing risk for entry-level workers, administrative roles, legal research, and software jobs, the video connects the rise of AI to a much more personal question: how do you build a stable life when you are no longer sure your job will exist in the years ahead? More than a story about machines replacing people, this is a look at the real impact of AI on a generation already facing stagnant wages, unaffordable housing, and an American Dream that keeps moving further out of reach.

The Surprising Science of Poop | Myth or Science (6/6)

In the final episode of Myth or Science, microbiologist Jennifer Gardy investigates one of humanity’s most overlooked and misunderstood substances: poop. Though commonly dismissed as disgusting waste, feces may contain remarkable clues about our health, our environment, and even the future of sustainable technology. Through a series of surprising experiments, Jennifer tests whether flushing a toilet spreads fecal bacteria around the bathroom, whether colon cleanses improve health, and whether visible corn in stool is evidence of poor digestion. She also explores what the shape, smell, frequency, and buoyancy of stool can reveal about the human body. Beyond personal health, the episode uncovers the wider scientific potential of waste. Researchers analyse sewage to track the health of entire communities, specially trained dogs locate orca feces to help protect endangered whales, and engineers transform sewage sludge into clean drinking water and energy. Jennifer even investigates whether dogs align themselves with the Earth’s magnetic field while defecating and how fish waste helps create tropical beaches. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 -The Hidden Power of Poop ▷ 01:38 - The Toilet Plume Experiment ▷ 05:44

In the early months of 1945, the Third Reich stood on the brink of collapse. After nearly six years of war, Allied forces were advancing from the west while the Red Army penetrated deeper into German territory from the east. Cities were devastated by constant bombings, supply lines crumbled, and millions of civilians fled desperately from the front. Even so, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi high command continued ordering total resistance, convinced that defeat could be avoided or at least delayed long enough to turn the tide of the war. Day after day, the military situation deteriorated irreversibly. The loss of East Prussia, the collapse of the Vistula front, the crossing of the Rhine by Allied armies, and the encirclement of Berlin marked a succession of defeats that ultimately destroyed German military capacity. While generals argued over impossible strategies and thousands of soldiers fought in desperate conditions, the Nazi government began to fragment amidst contradictory orders, negotiation attempts, and internal power struggles.

Russia's Wars - Russian Federation

After the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, Gorbachev tries desperately to keep on top of events. But in 1991 the Soviet Union is disbanded. Russia’s wars continue after the end of the Soviet Union in 1991 and under Boris Jelzin’s reign. In 2000 Wladimir Putin becomes President of the Russian Federation. Now the army regains its force and momentum. Putin’s vision is to revive the Romanov and the Stalinist Empire. His wars in Georgia, Tchetchnia and Ukraine betray the cunning spirit of a secret service man, always ready to lay the blame on Western liberal states. In 2014 Ukraine faces civil unrest under pro-Russian President Yanukovych, who is forced to resign. Putin seizes the opportunity to invade the Crimean and have pro-Russian separatists declare independence of two provinces in Eastern Ukraine – only to attack Ukraine eight years later. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual the original video platform channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

When shame changes sides - The case of Gisèle Pelicot

The sensational abuse trial involving Gisèle Pelicot, as seen through her daughter’s eyes. A documentary about the harrowing reality of drug-induced sexual violence and the courage of the victims to speak out. Over a period of ten years, Gisèle Pelicot was systematically drugged by her then-husband in Mazan, in the south of France. On numerous occasions he invited men from the area to sexually assault her. Central to the film is the personal perspective of their daughter, Caroline Darian, who speaks at length for the first time about her mother’s story and her own experiences during the trial. Darian has become an important voice for victims in recent years. As a whistleblower, she draws attention to the hitherto overlooked role of substances in sexual violence - an aspect that is often neglected in criminal proceedings. Gisèle Pelicot made the decision to waive her anonymity and insist that proceedings be open to the public rather than behind closed doors, as is common for rape cases in France. This sent a major signal to society. Thanks to the close relationship of trust

Why the Kuiper Belt Is Getting Harder to Explain

Out past Neptune, there is a place where ice outnumbers rock by the billions, and it should not make sense. A wall of empty space cuts through it with no cause anyone can prove. A tiny world spins four times faster than it should be able to. Frozen bodies that ought to be dead show signs of heat, and maybe even oceans, ten billion miles from the sun. Tonight we go past the edge of the map. We will meet a snowman shaped world glued together by a crash slower than a person walking, a planet sized mystery tugging on orbits from the dark, and a hidden second belt that should not be there at all. If strange science keeps you up at night, like and subscribe, because it only gets stranger from here. Take a breath. We begin. Sources

Morocco's cannabis reform: Why small farmers are left behind

Morocco's legalization of cannabis for medicinal purposes was welcomed by growers in the country. The promise of a better future, however, has yet to materialize for many small-scale farmers. Cannabis farmers in northern Morocco are under pressure from changing climate conditions, with water shortages intensifying the already fierce competition in the sector. In Azila, a village that depends entirely on the drug trade for its livelihood, farmers are allowed to cultivate cannabis but are not authorized to trade it. Here in the Rif Mountains, thousands of families rely on cannabis cultivation, but most live under precarious conditions. The most productive land, where the plants grow best, belongs to a handful of large operators who are increasingly taking control of the business. Anyone who continues to sell the crop illegally risks imprisonment. Many farmers support legalization because they hope it will enable them to live without a constant fear of prosecution. The government's legalization program, however, is progressing more slowly than expected, with fewer farmers than anticipated taking part. The push for legalization was driven by the medical uses of cannabis.
