welcome to this april 28 edition of our
show i m carl azuz grateful for your
presence we're getting you up to speed
on what's happening in the nation of
ukraine the russian invasion of that
country which russia called a special
military operation began more than two
months ago on february 24th in recent
days fighting has gotten more intense in
eastern ukraine russia's been sending
more military units there and the
ukrainian military says it's losing
territory in some parts of the region
why eastern ukraine since 2014 people
there who wanted independence from
ukraine's government have been battling
government troops russia supported these
separatists and now that country says it
wants to take control of two main areas
of eastern ukraine and possibly create a
permanent russian path a russian strip
of land that would run through southern
ukraine to crimea a peninsula that
russia took control of in 2014.
could that happen previously ukrainian
president vladimir zelinsky said his
country would be destroyed before it
would give in to russian demands that
ukraine hand over eastern cities like
harkiev and mariopol but shortly after
that president zielenski stated he would
discuss the status of areas in eastern
ukraine if russian president vladimir
putin would agree to direct talks is
there any hope for some sort of peace
deal analysts say it doesn't look likely
at this point on tuesday russia's
leaders said the two sides had a quote
serious breakthrough in talks last month
but that it had been derailed by
accusations that russian troops had
murdered civilians in the northern
ukrainian town of buca pictures from
satellites and drones appeared to show
evidence that russia committed war
crimes but russia called the images fake
so the fighting in ukraine rages on the
united states is among several western
countries that have imposed sanctions on
russia penalties on its economy designed
to pressure it to stop its invasion
russia says those have failed but the us
and its allies have also supported
ukraine by sending it eight equipment
and weapons last tuesday we told you the
u s government was sending 800 million
dollars worth of additional weapons to
ukraine a day later president joe biden
announced another 800 million was on the
way cnn reports that ukrainian troops
need these armaments to withstand
russia's assault on eastern ukraine
russia's government says if western
countries continue sending weapons to
ukraine there's not much chance for
peace
there's no rest at night for the people
of harcouver
players light up the sky as artillery
thunders through the air
for nearly nine weeks ukraine's second
largest city has been shelled
relentlessly
only by day
you see the full scale of the
destruction
the neighborhood of pavlovo poglia was
hit repeatedly last month as russian
forces tried to push into the city
no sight was spared not even the local
nursery school
so it looks like this was some kind of a
dormitory you can see
children's beds
here all around
and then in the next door room over
there was their classroom
their shoes still litter the locker room
mercifully the school had been evacuated
so no children were killed in the
strikes
the mayor of harkiv says that 67 schools
and 54 kindergartens have been hit here
since the war began and what's so
striking when you look around is that
it's so clearly not
a military target this is a residential
neighborhood
just a few blocks away
the bare skeleton of an apartment
building
authorities say more than 2 000 houses
have been hit
here the sounds of war are never far
away so you can see this
is what's left of the bedroom here
it's just astonishing
ten-second trivia
polysomnography can be used to study
what plants sleep mixtures or fiber
polysomnography records brain waves
breathing blood oxygen levels and body
movements during sleep
[Music]
from sleep hygiene to sleep devices
there are a lot of tips and tools
intended to help us get better sleep for
starters medical experts say we should
keep our tvs computers and smartphones
out of the room we should try to go to
bed at the same time every night we
shouldn't have caffeine or large meals
before bedtime it ought to be quiet dark
and comfortable where we sleep and
experts on the subject say the best
sleep temperature is around 65 degrees
fahrenheit there's not much debate about
the health benefits of a good night's
rest there is debate about some of the
devices available that aim to improve
and measure sleep most of them are not
approved by the us food and drug
administration and critics say they're
not as accurate as polysomnography but
that's usually done in a lab not
everyone has the time the equipment or
the expertise to conduct a deep sleep
study at home so the quest to develop
user-friendly devices to do that
continues
[Music]
imagine being able to fall asleep
anywhere you want any time you want
ziv permanent says he can do both
but this 33 year old has a phd in
neurocognitive science and has spent
years studying how our brains work he
knows some of us aren't so lucky there
are so many people that suffer for post
sleeping and even more suffer from poor
quality of sleep because of snoring
partner
or having a newborn that wake up every
three hours i have both of those things
technology probably can't help me there
but what it can do is help you better
understand sleep behaviors how long you
sleep and how much you toss and turn
beyond that you'll probably need
something more sophisticated than a
store-bought tracker today is our
amazing solution for measuring sleep in
wellness level
all kinds of watches mattresses but when
you would like to measure all the aspect
of sleep
here you have a gap
and pierman thinks this device could
fill that gap
a band-aid like sleep tracker fitted
with dozens of tiny sensors they pick up
electrical activity in the body while
you sleep sending the data straight to a
smart device data like muscle activity
eye movement and even brain waves
the kind of information you normally
only get at a clinic
this you can use at home by yourself for
a tenth of the cost of a professional
sleep study pierman says
the tracker is 10 years in the making
and the reason pierman co-founded his
israeli-based startup extras in 2020
even with growing interest in sleep is
medical grade testing
of your sleep still a relatively niche
market we start to understand that sleep
is a gold mine for understanding our
health
a better data could also help medical
researchers and not just ones who study
sleep pyramid says
we can identify
both sleep disorders
but also sleep patterns that related to
other disorders but for many of the new
sleep gadgets on the market accuracy
remains hard to prove say experts
because it is truly
complex to determine the staging of
sleep the movement in and out of the
various stages so the best way for
companies to do that would be to partner
with scientists to make sure that their
algorithms are scoring sleep correctly
and are giving information back to their
consumers that is accurate
pearman says his technology is currently
being tested by independent researchers
for validation
it still needs fda approval but if that
goes well this tracker could be on the
market by 2023. part of our activity now
is provide the system for all kinds of
researchers to find new patterns during
sleep
in the long run that could help us all
snooze just a bit longer
[Music]
let's call this parents ain't perfect
animal kingdom edition this is an eagle
it's got somewhere to be so it tells its
baby you just wait here and uh
oh the little one apparently got tangled
in a talon and tumbled down a cliffside
in california its parent didn't catch it
but nest cameras caught the whole thing
on video so wildlife officials came out
repelled to the stranded eaglet used a
duffel bag to return the baby to its
nest and they even built a sort of
natural guard rail to try to keep this
from happening again they say birds of a
feather flock together in all weather
but an untethered eaglet despite being
regal it tumbled down another bluffside
when it never ever took flight needed to
wing in a prayer leverage from here to
there now it's beat to rest at nest
until the best of times will bring the
quest to test its mind it's right to
take flight when it spreads its wings
so glad i got through that we are going
to smithville tennessee for today's
shout out recognizing you the students
of dekalb county high school as you know
the only place to request a mention on
