Among those most affected, the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB) has nearly halved in value since its peak in February Some ETF buyers are hunting specifically for targeted strategies said this highlights the potential drawbacks of tracking a narrow theme without the flexibility to shift tactics “The [passive thematic] strategy has no way to quickly react to bad news and will hold the stock until the next rebalance The small number of fund holdings also means that overall returns can be influenced by the performance of handful of stocks,” Lamont said one Chinese education group alone — TAL Education Group — was responsible for knocking 2.8 percentage points off performance from the end of June Global X Education ETF (EDUT) which has a large exposure to the Chinese online education sector Actively managed ETFs, such as Ark Invest’s ARKK flagship Innovation fund, can react more quickly.

Most of the past flood-rich periods were associated with cooler temperatures, but the current one comes amid a backdrop of climate change-driven warmth Blöschl believes storms shifting northwards are to blame More of the recent floods have also been in summer than past flood spells – 55 per cent versus 41 to 42 per cent – driven largely by more summer floods in central Europe the period 1900 to 1990 was relatively disaster-free which is why the recent floods have taken many people by surprise “People forgot the extent and frequency of floods that may occur,” says Blöschl “They had a false sense of security.” Nature DOI: 10.1038/s41586-020-2478-3 Sign up to our free Fix the Planet newsletter to get a monthly dose of climate optimism delivered straight to your inbox In the aftermath, Köpping’s team say they suspect the protest against coronavirus restrictions had roots in the messaging app Telegram—where a video of the demonstration circulated afterward and where the minister had previously received threats Köpping herself believes there is a direct link between Telegram and what happened “People obviously used the app to meet up,” she says Telegram did not respond to a request for comment But when officials asked Telegram to tackle violence in the app’s public channels and even a threat to ban the entire platform have all gone unanswered Germany’s struggle to enforce its authority over Telegram is a warning for other governments currently drafting their own online safety laws: Even if lawmakers issue new rules there is no guarantee platforms will follow them far-right follower numbers exploded in Germany a research manager at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) a nonprofit that analyzes online extremism the biggest far-right figures had around 40,000 followers “Germany’s anti-lockdown movement strikes me as relatively large and quite radical compared to other countries,” says Guhl He argues that it connects groups that might not usually fit together “It includes some people who were part of previously existing far-right movements but people with interest in alternative lifestyles that results in far-right content mixing with coronavirus conspiracies such as claims that the virus is a pretext to install an authoritarian state and calls for violence against politicians “It’s taken me by surprise how quickly people who hadn't been previously involved in ideological movements have been radicalized and quite how extreme and frequent the calls for violence are,” Guhl says have sent journalists to Telegram’s office and found that no one answers the door “Even if they would get any assistance [from the UAE] I believe no one is actually sitting in Dubai,” says Chan-jo Jun a lawyer specializing in online hate speech He believes Telegram’s management is more likely to be found in Europe or in Russia but that if the app had a clear address that would not necessarily solve the issue “The biggest problem is they are not willing to cooperate.” but we will take action if Telegram does not cooperate.” There are different theories about why Germany’s authorities are determined to force the messaging app to clean up now when the issues being discussed are not new “The authorities didn’t take it seriously when they saw young people posting racist or antisemitic death threats on Telegram,” says Simone Rafael head of digital at the Amadeu Antonio Foundation “Now that local mayors and politicians are being attacked they realize this problem might be bigger than they thought.” Others argue that the timing of the crackdown was triggered by a change in government “The primary driver of NetzDG and of this idea of greater monitoring and stronger stricter enforcement has always been a Social Democrat priority,” says Tyson Barker head of the Technology and Global Affairs program at the German Council of Foreign Relations Barker points out it was a Social Democrat and now the Social Democrats have control of the interior ministry for the first time in 17 years Germany’s new harder tone only shows how much the government is struggling to assert its authority “Going after the app stores is just a symptom of helplessness,” says HateAid’s Ballon But Google and Apple have been able to influence Telegram before German-born celebrity chef Attila Hildmann became radicalized during the pandemic and his descent into conspiracy theories played out publicly on his Telegram group which had up to 100,000 followers at its peak Hildmann posted on Telegram: “Apple app store and Google Play Store have censored my channel for all mobile phones!” His content inside Telegram was no longer visible on iPhones and Androids although it could be accessed on the messaging platform’s desktop app Apple and Google denied that they had the technical ability to implement this change prompting speculation that the big tech companies had instead lobbied Telegram behind the scenes to block this content for their users Neither company replied to a request for comment on the issue “Telegram can see what device you are using to connect to the app and then they limit access [to certain groups],” claims Miro Dittrich an organization that researches online extremism “So it's not Apple or Google doing this But they are definitely telling Telegram that it's against the rules of the App Store.” This has been done before “Porn channels on Telegram are usually blocked on Apple devices because their app store prohibits content like this.” Despite the uncertainty about how exactly the Hildmann block was carried out Hildmann tried to replace his main channel with several others that were not blocked by the app stores but they're extremely small compared to before,” says Dittrich “So he really lost a lot of relevance through these actions.” It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is

Fuel cells are being touted as an alternative to costly electrification – but no one knows if they’ll really be cheaper, says Brian Scott-Quinn I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice When the government cancelled its plans to electrify train lines across Wales, the Midlands and the north of England, and cut back on the Great Western rail network electrification it brought a premature end to a rail investment programme once touted as the biggest the country had seen since the Victorian era But now reports suggest that the government and train manufacturers are hoping there may be an alternative way to turn British railways electric: hydrogen Hydrogen trains have already replaced more polluting diesel engines on a line in Germany and some train companies think the vehicles could be running in Britain as early as 2022 Introducing them would still require substantial investment and wouldn’t be without challenges But they could be an important step towards reducing the carbon footprint of railways Only around a third of the UK rail network has been electrified with little extra track converted in the last few years Without continuing to electrify the network the government is faced with the dilemma of how to eliminate diesel trains that produce carbon dioxide and other harmful pollutants The current strategy is to purchase bimodal trains that can switch to using diesel when they reach parts of the track without electricity But this is fudging the issue of dealing with climate change and air pollution and still leaves the UK well behind most other European networks If electrifying the rest of the network is deemed too expensive, one potential alternative is to generate electricity on board the train. One way to do this is to use fuel cells that combine hydrogen gas with oxygen from the air to produce electricity and water Hydrogen can carry more energy than the same weight of batteries meaning fuel cell systems could be lighter They also take less time to refuel than batteries take to recharge and don’t have the same high environmental costs from manufacturing The hydrogen gas would need to be compressed into tanks that would usually be stored on the train’s roof But adding a regenerative braking system to charge an additional small battery would reduce the amount of hydrogen needed to power the train The high cost of installing overhead wires means that hydrogen trains would likely be a more economic way to electrify railway lines with relatively low volumes of traffic And it makes sense to experiment with hydrogen trains to uncover any unexpected issues But widespread use would require substantial investment in the generation and storage of hydrogen Because very few hydrogen-based railways have ever been built it’s not clear if they would actually save governments any money over electrifying larger lines that would provide economy of scale A better solution might be to develop bimodal trains that can switch between electricity from overhead wires and fuel cells This would be especially suitable for the UK rail network which has many bridges and tunnels that are too low to run overhead cables beneath and very expensive to replace If electric trains could switch to hydrogen power for sections of track with bridges or tunnels rather than requiring cables it could considerably reduce the cost of electrification The other problem with hydrogen fuel cells is that the fuel is currently manufactured from methane (natural gas) using a process called steam methane reforming that also produces a large output of highly toxic carbon monoxide This can be converted to carbon dioxide but that means using hydrogen fuel cells still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions A pollution-free way of producing hydrogen is through electrolysis by passing an electric current through water you could use excess wind power (and perhaps solar) to generate this electricity and make the hydrogen a renewable energy source The issue is that electrolysis plants are unlikely to be economic unless they run for a high proportion of the day This would mean that when there wasn’t excess wind to power them they would need regular electricity from the grid that would make the process highly expensive (and not necessarily renewable) A second alternative is to use a “thermochemical” production method that involves reacting water with sulphur and iodine in the presence of heat The good news is that this method is set to become economical within the next 10 years thanks to the development of generation IV nuclear power plants small modular reactors are being developed in China Despite the current limits of hydrogen as a transport fuel as more and more countries (in particular Japan) undertake further research on the hydrogen economy just as they have for solar and wind power Hydrogen could even eventually come to replace natural gas in mains gas pipes which would help bring down the costs of using it for transport The difficulty often seen in trying to introduce a new kind of transport fuel is that vehicle owners won’t use it without the infrastructure to support it but infrastructure builders won’t install it unless there is demand from vehicle owners A government-funded experiment with hydrogen trains could help overcome this problem and bring the renewable hydrogen economy one step closer to reality Brian Scott-Quinn is an emeritus professor of finance at the ICMA Centre, University of Reading.
