sensors to help out human security security guards in their duties experts and manufacturers say their strength lies in their Advanced Technologies working alongside security officials but they've also sparked concerns about privacy issues and potential job losses for humans in the security field critics are also raising questions about their effectiveness in keeping the public safe right now there is a lack of public data to prove just how effective these robots are so we'll still have yet to see whether they can be a reliable security solution next in Princeton New Jersey a high school reunion unlike any other a group of former students athletes and coaches from Princeton High School have been rallying together over the last 16 months that's how long their former classmate Evan

of people that have watched him grow up followed his career and when they found out that he had been taken into custody and put into a Russian prison they jumped right into action they Tred to figure

which African nation has not one but three capital cities Zimbabwe South Africa Tanzania or Algeria South Africa has an executive legislative and judicial capital in Petoria Cape Town and Bloom Fontaine respectively South Africa's biodiversity is unmatched it's known for being home to the largest land mammals the African elephant and Ros and it's also home to marine life like great white sharks penguins and fur seals Wildlife teams in Cape Town have come up with a clever way to protect the endangered seals from challenges they face from their contact with humans and plastic waste all while showing them off to visitors it's an early and quiet morning at one of South Africa's most visited tourist destinations Cape Town's iconic VNA Waterfront which attracts around 24 million people annually situated in the oldest working Harbor in the southern hemisphere it's also a welcoming host to an entirely different breed of mammal over the past 20 years we've had a population of wild Cape Fels making use of our Harbor as acting as an extension of our oceans and to them I really think they believe this to be their home it's a stop of point or a safe space they're not habituated but they move in and out as they please aside from playing the part of Waterfront attraction they also play a vital role within the Marine ecosystem they help balance everything out from being a prey source to being a predator themselves they indicate how the health of the ocean is doing and they give us a valuable Insight how the bigger picture of our ocean helps once heavily hunted Cape fur seals are now a protected species in South Africa and it's estimated that around 2 Mill ion inhabit the coasts of southern Africa still they face significant challenges with climate change human Wildlife conflict and more recently rabies all areas of concern here on the waterfront a team from the nearby two oceans aquarium looks after them the program that we run here the Marine Wildlife Management program is unique it's the first of its kind in the world where we are essentially reducing conflict between humans and animals Within the space of a working Harbor SL tourist destination we are the buffer but one of the most widespread and tangible threats facing these curious creatures is plastic pollution we are actually on our second patrol of the day looking for any seals that have plastic around the neck and the hope that we can actually get them disentangled this morning removing the plastic items which is most often commercial fishing debris can be a challenge so they have to to get creative so we gave them the dedicated seal platform you're going to see behind me there with all the seals resting on it the added benefit to the seal platform is that we've made the gaps between the wooden slats very wide and for a very specific reason we have around 100 seals a year that come in through Waterfront with plastic entanglements just like these around their necks but if they come and rest on our platform here with the wide slats we get to climb into wet suits swim below them and disentangle them and we use a very special tool for that this is our cutter and it is a hooked blade on the inside very thin to fit through the wooden slats and the idea is that we'll swimm a wet suit underneath the platform we poke this through the slat hook it onto the entanglement and give it a really good tug and that'll snap it off the Seal's neck from the Seal's point of view he's resting in the sun he'll feel a tug on his neck he'll stand up he'll bark at the seal next to him and lie down again he doesn't even know there was a human involved in removing this plastic off his neck Brett glassby says in 2023 they disentangled 124 seals at the VNA Waterfront alone a statistic that is increasing
