is so important in making the transition to greens, how that story is coming off often that right, don't forget the deputy dot com is the website way. good, oval, i just, any time you want to social's like was instagram the handle you need is at the w news and the youtube channel is another great place you can get a coverage when everyone is on that and the houses and a shorter st. good bye. for now the, you'll see about the video that goes enabled, other data media, amiga, blah, blah, google, i've got it done by get other stuff into that. and i'll give you the order. would you, are you able to order that? i'm jo made any a dog comment key more people than the eval on worldwide in search of a job. you ever use men and they can t method the godaddy. how do you find out about on the story? and so my friend's name is the calls back said wow,

thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it loud and mess with it being nosy bay, like good. everyone to king. check out the award winning called called the called back, the young women in japan, breathing new life into an old tradition. the any rock we looked at, the impacts of climate change on health. the and we ask, why are we so hooked on lithium batteries? the,

the, to understand why lithium make such a good battery. we need to know how battery actually works. and if you hear a battery, this is probably what comes to mind. this one is rechargeable, and made of lift them. we can make a super simple circuit with a battery 2 wires and an l. e. d is seem pretty terms. it but that e is today's more controllable. and ernesto julio cosmo is a professor and researcher who has spent the past 12 years focusing on lithium. you bought a lot of energy and you have various more waves. you want to get out all this energy very fast. you're going to go away and not in an explosion. this works to the movement of electrons and ions. electrons are tiny, negatively charged particles that float around. adams. ions are items that have lost or gains in electron. this battery contains lithium graphite cobalt and the

liquid. batteries have negatively and positively charged size. lithium ions and electrons on one side of the battery when connected to a circuit, electronics travel outside the battery along the circuit, generating electricity. the electricity goes from negative to positive flowing through the l. a. b in the middle. meanwhile, what's left in the battery is lithium ion. that's where the lithium ion battery gets its name. the ions travel inside the battery from the graphite to the co bulk wanted to reach charging. ready they go in the other direction, but batteries basically destroy themselves in the process. either they lose their ability to create electricity or chemicals build up on the electrodes. as batteries age, the electrons travel less than less efficiently and the battery loses its capacity . the metals can also grow into spikes, which can short circuit the battery in the worst case of battery failure, big night and explode. so a good battery can store a lot of energy without exploding,

doesn't quickly lose its capacity. one of the many reasons why lithium makes a great battery is that unlike lead or acid, lithium was only mildly toxic. these new lithium batteries can store more energy per graham than any other battery ever invented. what makes with themes so great? weird lee is that it's super reactive so i got my hands on some lithium which should be 99 percent pure. going to try and put it in some water and see what happens. but um, safety 1st. it's a really soft metal, so it should be completely breakable just with my fingers. wow, look at that. so that's the lift them inside. it's reacting with the oxygen in the air so fast that the metal is already darkening. we're going to try and put this little bit of lithium in some water and see what happens. okay, so, moment of truth.

to understand why this happens, we need to look at electrons again. lithium loses electrons and creates ions really easily. that means that the ions inside the battery move around really quickly and efficiently. that makes the batteries able to charge faster, have a longer live site goes and above all store more energy. aside from its ability to store energy, the theme is also winter when it comes to weight. all of these can be used in batteries, but they would make the batteries heavier. that's because the lithium is the least dense metal on the planet. the fact that it's so extremely light makes it the best option for electronics. one of the main reasons computers in this size instead of the massive machine they were in the eighty's, is the invention of the lithium ion battery. it's also by far the best option for electric cars, buses, and plains. because the light of the vehicle, the less energy it takes to move it around. and that's why our appetite for lithium is guys rocketing according to the international energy agency. demand for lithium

could increase between 13 and 51 times by 2040 australia is the top producer of lithium, followed by july. but other countries around the world are ramping up production to meet the max of global demand in 2022 global with in production. was that a 130000 metric tons? that's quadrupled from 2010. when production was a little over $28000.00 metric tons, the good news is that we technically have enough of it in the ground, according to some estimates around $80000000.00 metric tons of around 10 kilos per person on the planet. but just because those white gold is abundant, doesn't mean it's easy to get, getting it out of the ground can be slow and costly. and the mining and refining processes are concentrated in a few countries. that means that the demand for it is quickly outpacing the current available supply. this bottleneck is also raising the price after 2020 prices of raw materials went up for a while, others came down,

lithium just continue to increase and mining itself comes with its own host of problems extracting with them from rock or requires a lot of energy often powered by fossil fuels, what's better, it's extracting it from brian water that's mixed with minerals bay. the last just process is to evaporate these bright and well that in red shuttle bones, which are extremely large. let's say the 1000 times a football stadium, brian mines used thousands of leaders of water for one kind of lithium into a lithium mining has already led to water shortages in the area and diverted water from local communities. the mines can also cause soil degradation and disrupt local eco systems. and then there's a whole problem of what happens to the batteries after we're done with them. although the lithium itself can be used, lithium batteries, deteriorate and most of them land in the trash. one obvious solution,

mr. create infrastructure to recycle lithium batteries. that's what happened with lead batteries due to government regulation. 99 percent of lead batteries in the us are recycled? recycling with families entirely new technology, but it's catching up. lithium ion battery recycling is expected to increase to $420.00 killer tons per year by 2030 up from the current 50 killer tons per year. better. lithium batteries are also on the wet cobalt which is mines and very problematic conditions could be replaced with nickel menu square iron, or the graphite in the battery could be swapped for graphed, feet. it's made by taking the layer of graphite just like this, and making it progressively spinner and thinner until it turns into a single layer of carbon atoms. graphing is the strongest material ever discovered, and more conductive than graphite. you can also make the inside of the battery solid instead of liquid to make it less likely to explode. most of this is still in the lab, but these advances could make the battery safer, longer lasting,

and store more energy, which could also make them more attractive for storing large amounts of renewable energy on a grid scale. so it certainly doesn't look like our addiction to lithium is going away any time soon because lithium dominates the battery worlds and for good reason, [000:00:00;00] the ones that thailand is notice that the rock is one of the country's most affected by climate change worldwide temperatures of over 50 degrees celsius are becoming more common, making people sick. ali, whose same is on his way to the local well around him. signs of climate change are everywhere. okay. there's no

water. the well is dry. he tells his son. so this used to be a rocks most fertile region, but the country has suffered a severe drought for years in a row of the 60 families in the village, 40 of left. ivy. hussein's family is one of the few still here at the bottom of just 4 years ago. we find the land here, but trout has turned our land into the desert. we had to give up, tied up without farming. there was no income. his 5 children face an uncertain future. the ground water here is salty. iraq is less and less fresh water in the countryside and in the cities. climate change is to blame, as are the water policies of neighboring iran and turkey. the 2 countries have built a numerous stems, leaving too little water for a rock down stream. because of the salty ground water, the children have source and open wounds on their skin. sometimes they don't know

alone. it's very painful. sometimes they are close to stick to the wings, which makes it even worse. the rising temperatures are also contributing to the spread of disease like least monotonous, is transmitted by sam slot and i thought i need something high and being 2nd to transmit to the infection which causes fever. it's happened a lot here in the region. ali husein and his daughter is newer and saundra are lucky. or rocky, red crescent has come to their village, nor is hands are terribly h. e. sandra often finds it hard to walk because of the pain. she has felicia, my nicest and insidious disease. it affects the skin, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. the edge i ever see touch the. so let's do that in the side or how time key are on the left. and this team are seeing more and more cases like this. they want to raise awareness. medical help is expensive and the newest hospital is

50 kilometers away. the rocky red crescent regularly travels across the country, visiting villages here in blue blue, i shed the people are a little better off the village community has dug a well, she needs to though the ground water contains too much salt. and so for a question of this facility has changed their lives, it supplies the village and neighboring villages with clean water, 2000 leaders per hour or disabling needed and to meet fit to drink height or how to him and his team have distributed over 60 water tanks in the region, a couple on the facility is a lifetime for people here in the red, crescent and partners are working to build a series of facilities to alleviate the water shortage. what your thoughts are then what? every week they check the salt content every week. they have to change the filters . there's no alternative the village needs more than one facility like this. many surrounding village is separate from

a lack of drinking water and water for dish washing and showering. yeah, that was the oldest to him. i last saw living with climate change awareness is important for children to, to hide on how to him and his team talk about infectious diseases and show them how to wash their hands properly. that can save lives on it. as well so far there over no debts, but we're seeing that the lack of drinking water, drought, and to certification are causing a rise and skin diseases and to poisoning. what does i'm about? i did them some of the coding or how didn't know i'm about to deal to unlock the some of the to just add them to for them outside of head to show according to the un here. rock is the 5th most vulnerable country. the climate breakdown. it also has a rapidly growing population, in that case, upper for the sample that we need to reinforce our health systems to cope. we've been devastating consequences of climate change on our health. so then the show system settled with the over whelmed in the way the climate change would that would

be totally co ops if we don't know to prefer then better. and if we don't send finance of resources, ali who's saying would like to stay here with his family, but the conditions are getting increasingly difficult. private and my husband, these 2 of them i for how the water you can see here was brought to us by car 1000 leaders every week for us in our animals. that's not enough because mike ali hussein's family could soon become climate refugees in their own country, like one and a half 1000000 people in iraq. the the pollution resulting from blending oil, gas and cold kills 5000000 people. yeah,

that's mold and obesity. malaria around coal binding fossil fuels produces toxic testicles, tiny enough to enter the lungs. this particular message is among the main causes of strokes, counts and diabetes. it's time for the shape for pedro amount to a rebate. daily activities like climbing stairs pose a big challenge. i have a lung disease level i'm, i'm suffering my struggle to breathe properly to wherever the 74 year old retiree is one of hundreds of thousands of people in lima suffering from respiratory diseases ranging from acute infections to long and heart complaints. city authorities say hundreds of people die every year as

a result of respiratory disease. the peruvian capital has a big health problem. pedro met a rebate, has a weekly check up at a hospital, the care and medication he receives here as an approved his quality of life. move young beneficiary. good. what are you doing perfect by the front of say that now please remove your mask. i think one more on been we have many patients like pedro month rebate, have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. what seal pd and they have those here you and in other hospitals, in lima. and it's something that the castle is. what's interesting is that many of them have never smoked, will see what they're only very little. yes, even if it be the disease is similar that sound in other countries, among heavy smokers and lots and lots of those. we believe it is linked to environmental pollution. well, that's what the conclusion borne out in many studies. i mean only think that will cause us to just following up with you remember that lima, it has more than 10000000 residents. air pollution levels are high mainly from

traffic in industry. the in 2022 lima record the 2nd highest levels of particulate matter pollution in latin america. after santiago did chilly, but experts say air quality measurements in lima are inadequate. now the situation is likely far worse than previously thoughts. peruvian company kyra is looking for solutions. it is developed low cost measuring devices and a digital tool aimed at making information on air pollution and lima accessible to all the success. i'm also wondering if we zoom in on lima. we look at the information that's publicly available in the surveillance network. the green is good, yellow, montrose and orange and red badge. a whole lot. the most critical value is $2.00, which means particulate matter of $2.00 micro matches must be no. and those are the

finest particles, the very small ones, the end to the rest spirits retracts from and then penetrate the human body some into the bloodstream. possible. so was again using this data. so the authorities have taken steps, reduce emissions, and heavily affected areas. some parts of the storage center are now close to vehicles but more needs to be done is this. environmental activists have spent years reinforcing the hills around lima, the pacific ocean on one side, and the mountains on the other. are the capitals only natural borders. vegetation here traps, dust particles and suspended matter helping to improve air quality. they have also installed

a network of fog catchers. these collect water from the regions dense winter fog. this is crystal clear water. yes, i was not at even more time to be diverted into a collection point like this one here. how long it even use it for drip irrigation lee, most green long has been subject to deforestation for more than 400 years. new settlements and industries continue to be constructed on the outskirts of the city. the long term systematic deforestation has had a negative impact on the cities health. local reforestation work as held kirby erosion. but it's not enough for an experts. a far wider scale effort is required they do need to prove produce is less than 0.08 percent of globalization sold enough. and so if one day lima were to no longer met, many gas or pollutants plan would still be polluted. but make, i see,

hold up and then we alone may not stop pollution or climate change afford effect and we will be the ones who suffer. you'll probably be much the bills. he's one of the most of the woods here with his doctor's help pedro much rebate has managed to reduce some of his pain. the, to now enjoy a short walk around his neighborhood and some independence. now more than ever, there was an urgent need to reduce emissions and improve air quality in lima. and across the world, the stain balanced, positioning the arrow, and drawing the boat at full gallop, i suppose to relinquish his control to her horse. spade. she knows exactly what

he's doing and that let's or concentrate on her stance and taking aim the most. indeed, i only take my hands off the horse if i trust him completely. that's the most important thing. this trust has had time to evolve our 1st spade when he was 2 and she was 7. since then the 2 have been inseparable growing up in the country side of northern japan and i am worried prefecture. they share a passion for you. i will send me japanese mounted archery centuries ago. yeah. booth. and it was thought to be good practice for the battle field. but her gelding spade is far too peace. loving for that one. okay, so you probably run away from the enemy,

picking the smith foot. archery is no longer an art of war. and the ritual and ceremonial aspects of your boost to me aren't taken all that seriously anymore either was a normal day. that's a really huge starts. you have it's been ages since i've seen any that size of 50 percent. ok. here in route japan. it was to me is experiencing a revival as a leisure support. women like all you, if we stay in the early twenties are reinterpreting the century's old tradition. the nation of the day, high, high points we might look at me in this direction. so all that's right, just like that. so you have to stay flexible when trainer, are you good? coming more, a started out. 15 years ago, mounted archery was still

a male domain. on the saturday i'm assuming is i had to put up with a lot back then they told the women had no business being here. and just see if i ask you all this, i'm in the sort of the even side, and i don't want to even hear the words you up with somebody coming out of your mouth. but uh, you always have to put the boxes stuck in, excuse me, right? at the mountain archery might have died out in japan if it weren't for these young women's a to z. as in japan has an aging dwindling population. young people are drawn to the cities, always loses passion for your boost and it is what keeps her in the country side of the the bus. suppose the other, some of those things. great. but more people are becoming interested in. yep. losing it again. the more was the something about them, but it seems like it has less appeal for boys. when you for the party equal to the optimal, it will probably soon be an all female support to the one level cutting that's up.

i don't know if it comes with a lot of it's given her family has always supported her passion. she's been winning competition since 10th grade. does. her mother is sewing the garment for her next event from chemo fabric. it was listed wants to dazzle at the tournament. the which one do you want? when are the most guests coming? we'll give you sunday. then this one's for sunday, very well to get used to that. i'm about to see on the man looks aren't my style. pink is out of the question. so many pulled out last night. the small town of toyota has boldly proclaimed the tournament to be the world championship. somewhat

wishful thinking on the part of the organizers gets from abroad, rarely make their way here. but for iris, who say such competitions are crucial for the sports future. if you have who's to me is to survive. it has to look good to know kind of the hicks and you could come up today. the archers used to pick themselves read before they went into battle the created and men with the next. why do the same now in this cause we had the, the competition is almost exclusively female. rules requires 3 shots at full gallop . the archers have just fractions of the 2nd the aim,

the shoot. that's exhausting. the modem. it's not over for you yet. there's still another round the funds are there. one of the terms of you have those to me is that it's a sport that's open to everyone. to just take on your medical women and men of all ages you come on. the.

the flamingos, albania is not, is an internationally recognized nature reserve the public government test on the boosting. tours in by building and as pushing climbing over

i'm hosting dw new pod cast. thanks. trace amount. bother. today about joining us as we travel around your facing the history of every day of the semester. i'm p right around the world. no need to talk to back just to subscribe already. listen to part costs and we'll take you along for the ride. the it was a democratic see change, the polish people voted out the right wing populace from the law and justice party set up again. increasingly, it seems they were nothing more than season crooks. i'm optimistic. i feel good about what's to come for about it because all the elections have shown

that the majority is fed up but the country is divided.
