WEBVTT 00:00.090 --> 00:04.402 Hi, everyone, I'm Zain, and here are five top stories that you may have missed, starting 00:04.710 --> 00:07.944 with women combating explosives, 14 Iraqi women have joined forces 00:09.630 --> 00:13.599 to become the first all female landmine clearing team in the region. 00:13.770 --> 00:17.919 Together, they'll hope to mine thousands of acres of land in and around the city of Basra 00:17.920 --> 00:22.559 that that area is still peppered with explosives from the Iraqi Iran and Gulf 00:22.560 --> 00:27.020 Wars. And the main reason why I joined the team as a humanitarian one. 00:27.300 --> 00:30.659 The province of Basra has a lot of mines within vast areas of land. 00:31.020 --> 00:33.960 People have been deprived from living in these lands simply. 00:33.990 --> 00:38.549 But these women are breaking down gender norms while making their home a safer place 00:38.550 --> 00:40.719 to live. Cool pavements. 00:40.980 --> 00:44.159 Take a look at the white paint ever made. 00:44.310 --> 00:48.899 Purdue University engineers have created a new ultra white paint that reflects ninety 00:48.900 --> 00:52.979 eight point one percent of said like the new paint is made with barium sulfate, which 00:52.980 --> 00:54.899 reflects all wavelengths of sunlight. 00:55.050 --> 00:58.200 Most other white paints use titanium dioxide as a pigment. 00:58.440 --> 01:02.939 Titanium dioxide does reflect visible and infrared wavelengths, but absorbs UV 01:02.940 --> 01:07.529 rays by reflecting more light. The new produ paint helps keep surfaces like buildings 01:07.530 --> 01:11.489 and streets up to eight degrees cooler, and that could reduce the need for air 01:11.490 --> 01:13.950 conditioning and help combat climate warming. 01:14.400 --> 01:18.629 Russian rug ball. Welcome to the rough and tumble world of rugby ball. 01:18.930 --> 01:23.039 It's a combination of basketball, rugby ball and wrestling that first began in Russia in 01:23.040 --> 01:24.120 the nineteen nineties 01:24.480 --> 01:26.279 with only wrestlers can endure. 01:26.400 --> 01:30.569 Basketball players won't hold here. They have some dribbling tactics, but here, as you 01:30.570 --> 01:32.459 can see, it's all about wrestling and running. 01:32.790 --> 01:36.659 Brick Wall received a facial recognition as a sport in Russia in two thousand three. 01:36.660 --> 01:40.469 Today, only eight or nine teams compete in the Russian Rugby Federation's annual 01:40.470 --> 01:44.819 championship. But Enthusiast's Hopa recent increase in public attention will help the 01:44.820 --> 01:46.409 sport become more mainstream. 01:47.370 --> 01:51.209 Googly eye Buie, who knew googly eyes could combat extinction. 01:51.210 --> 01:54.750 Fishing nets kill at least four hundred thousand seabirds each year. 01:54.780 --> 01:58.500 That's one of the reasons a species group is one of the most threatened in the world. 01:58.680 --> 02:03.329 So to help reduce bird entanglements and fishing nets, British and Estonian researchers 02:03.330 --> 02:04.947 put giant googly eyes on Billies. 02:05.730 --> 02:10.229 They named the device looming as Buie, and it acts as a floating scarecrow, 02:10.259 --> 02:12.300 frightening away seabirds from fishing nets. 02:12.660 --> 02:17.021 And in a new study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the research team 02:17.250 --> 02:21.317 says good ol Aluminite can reduce the number of seabirds killed in a fishing net by 02:21.690 --> 02:26.249 up to 30 percent, although the AIS won't completely solve the global problem. 02:26.310 --> 02:30.269 The innovation is considered a welcome sight to combat the crisis. 02:31.260 --> 02:33.679 Nope, that's not Tony Stark in action. 02:33.690 --> 02:35.540 It's a real life royal Marine. 02:35.580 --> 02:39.749 The British Royal Marines teamed up with Gravity Industries to test these special jets 02:39.750 --> 02:43.979 just off the south coast of the U.K. They use the jets to successfully board and in 02:43.980 --> 02:48.599 motion military ships. The suit can fly up to 80 miles per hour and climb twelve 02:48.600 --> 02:52.709 thousand feet. Ultimately, it could give military personnel a quick option to board a 02:52.710 --> 02:57.470 ship, take it over by pirates. But at four hundred and thirty thousand dollars a pop, 02:57.510 --> 02:59.530 that just isn't exactly a ticket to fly. 02:59.640 --> 03:04.259 Still, it's a new technology. I think all Marvel fans like myself, what I taken 03:04.260 --> 03:09.239 for a ride for the PBS News Hour and until next week, this is five stories. 03:09.360 --> 03:10.439 Have a great weekend. 03:12.970 --> 03:17.050 Hey, one more thing, don't forget to click here for the most recent episode 03:18.700 --> 03:21.220 about it, and I'm not kind of anything about it. 03:21.250 --> 03:23.449 Please forgive my dance move. 03:23.710 --> 03:28.710 I've been locked up at home for a while and I forgot how to frickin dance.
