on project cassandra in 2016 1st. our 3 pod documentary series on la skiing has paula stats may, 4th on dw the back in of shopping mode. again, more and more people want more and more things, which requires bigger and bigger ships. that's be more and more pollution into the air and see how can new technologies help is method all, for example, in alternative fuel for the giant ships. also on today's show attacks on infrastructure or industrialized countries, easy victims, global or traffic is booming. no chinese aircraft manufacturers want to get it on the act and local public transportation for free. one example from france.

this truly is a giant in the kingdom of container ships. the world's 1st large method, all powered container vessel is 350 meters, long ways. some 172000 tons and could carry 29000 african elephants. captain steve mika said, recently took the mask on its maiden voyage from china to europe. it was a crucial day for the veteran sailor and clearly not his 1st experience with a ship of this size. it was, i think the 1st time i was on a big ship, the guys is like, oh, this is really big. this is really something else. but i think after, while, if you move from a smaller car to be could call you get this after a certain time, you get used to the size,

so you don't really think about it so much up on deck. the korean flag is still flying. so far, the captain could only observe had their ship registered in denmark, reacted on the week long sea trial, conducted by the korean ship builder shown day the on a mass is the 1st of 18 large method. all vessels that will be built here over the next 2 years in the port of also i'm in south korea, the largest ship yard in the world. here what you see is that a is basically the best of being assembled in bottles. so this is a home number 3 on the economic serious. this is a whole number 5 or a section i would say over all over the whole number 5 and behind as we don't see it very well is the number of the secret to these new container ships is hidden deep below deck. this is the realm of the german chief engineer and today as bucks

the engine is dual fuel, meaning it can run on both method all or traditional marine fuels. de says running an engine like this for the 1st time is a huge challenge. we've been out for the dry. that'd be around this engine on metal noise and still it's very limited, long time operational experiences. so it makes it very specialist or so it's technically a problem because there may be no people who can say, okay, we have experienced the same failure in the past. a jew huge mess and all tanks are located next to the 8 cylinder engine, which could supply electricity for some 87000 homes. the consumption of method all is approximately double that of traditional fuel due to the lower energy density says bucks. all types and tanks have a special coding and r double walled method known as white top 6 for human. so to verify, as well as the liquid is very toxic,

if we get expos story for that reason, we have the whole supply system layout at the top is void piping system with gas and so. so that means when we have a failure in the system they, they, not the liquid leaking out because it leaks out from the, in the pipe to the voice space. and there may be detected by a gas sense or with green method, all in the tank. the heat of technology and innovation says the company hopes to save up to $280.00 tons of c o 2 per day, per ship, compared to a vessel sailing on heavy fuel oil. we can talk about 220-2425 perhaps 26 has ramp up the year since. so we can during those years for see a quite existence of mental operation as well as the operation with some comments on the fuel. if they can get enough green method, all mask is about to change the shipping industry, which accounts for 3 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions around $125.00

container vessels capable of sailing on method all around for the world wide. the korean ship makers welcome to challenge, but here in ocean b, believe it's possible that in the course of the next few years, another technology will emerge. they are currently experimenting with hydrogen. in the future there is no any one for me to meet on the few or then then that tunnel, ammonia and hydrogen, even energy, etc. it is good, it depends on but she changed over. she will nurse will produce on pets. on merrick is aiming to reach net 0 emissions by 2040 across its entire business with green fuels, but also other new technologies and new strategies. in addition to the different fuel, the vessels will all have the bridge and accommodation, placed at the very front that creates more space and see what is the amazing one in

life for life compared to the previous generation of the same size, more or less this vessel together would be around 12 percent more efficient and then a previous generation. it's a combination of optimize the cost for him. so it's a combination of the meanings and efficiency. the combination of moving the accommodation forward and having a larger intake because of their huge size. transporting $16020.00 foot containers at a time. just one of these ships will actually replace $5.00 to $6.00 conventional vessels and the fleet if all goes according to plan, this type of ship will be a significant milestone in mass commitment to a lower carbon emissions. heading with $21.00 knots into a new era for the industry of how vulnerable is our so called critical infrastructure? everything depends on servers, cables, roads, railways, and ceilings,

all of which are very vulnerable. and it's not just about cyber attacks. it's also about acts of sabotage or the attacks we've seen so far. just a sign of things to come. one thing is certain, the modern world is under constant threat. who the rebels from young men have repeatedly attacked merchant ships in the red sea, bring the global movement of goods to a standstill. that's because shipping companies are avoiding this route. during one of these accidents, the damaged vessel ruby, mark likely destroy the data cables on the sea bed with its anchor. a quarter of all data traffic between asia, europe, and the middle east was effected. internet service providers had to react immediately. the way we could construct don't need to approval from east and west coast perspective on the african continent. we've got access to 2 cable systems on each of the coast. so i'll need to

a configuration allows us to reload capacity on to alternative cable systems. when you do so, a problem for them on, on one of the deep sea cables are part of the critical infrastructure. 1.3000000 kilometers long. they connect all of the world's continents with electricity, telecommunications, and data traffic. like a spider's web, they are interconnected and it's often possible to redirect the data that's because cables are continually damaged or destroyed, due to accidents or possibly acts of sabotage. kia, or a few examples from europe in recent years. the destruction of submarine data cables in norway. and in 2022, between norway and swamp. on september 2022 partially destruction of the north stream. one end to gas pipelines. october 2020 to $3.00 submarine cables are cut miramar say in between the federal and shetland islands. the consequences that

an attack on critical infrastructure can have for companies were seen in march 2024 . when the test, the giga factory near berlin was shut down for more than a week the reason village and eco activists had come to power line to the factory in an arse and the attack that electricity pole went down and the factory had to close. at the end, the fire also put off the thousands and more like 10 thousands of households from the attic tricity great. just like estimated the damage at around 1000000000 euros test, the c o u on most route on social media channel x. these are either the dumbest eco terrorists on earth or their puppets of those who don't have good environmental goals. the attack on the 2, russian gas pipelines north stream $1.00 and $2.00 in september 2022 was also

spectacular. they had already been shut down after russia's attack on ukraine. the attack was possibly intended to ensure that they could never be used again. the perpetrators have not yet been identified. hybrid warfare, that means attacks without uniforms, soldiers, and attacks on infrastructure. those responsible can fairly be traced cause by the term secret services work secrets. so it's usually not what you can actually prove. on paper, there of also been repeated anonymous attacks on georgia bonds, power lines, and recent years. as a result, photography and documentation are prohibited. critical infrastructure is already being protected by the police and didn't legit services team was the critical infrastructure was attacked 1st. that's because civilian military communication only works with an intact radio networks and

a g p s. this was also the case in ukraine. the russian army destroyed the ukrainian radio network, 1st tax the country. in february 2022. the russians obviously wanted to have a swift and decisive campaign, both by going to charity capturing key of on the ground. but also the single thing is they, by disabling your train is communications and keep creating as most chaos as possible. so they did attack both in the cyber domain, but also conventionally many submarines from neighboring countries are already patrolling the north sea. and the baltic sea monitoring the movements of other submarines. these checks will increase as critical infrastructure is and remains the achilles heel of every country. or what exactly is critical infrastructure and where exactly are the pain points that

making it and us so vulnerable? there are more than you might think. the world is complex and protecting it effectively is that for julian task, what's critical infrastructure? no light, no water, no electricity, and nothing to eat. the risk of these disaster movie scenarios actually happening is increasing worldwide for society to continue to function with crises, was that natural disaster strikes. one thing has to be protected, the critical infrastructure. but what does that actually involve? first and foremost, is the energy supply. because if the power goes out, almost all other critical infrastructures are effective. for example, food supply without electricity goods boiled in the supermarket shortage then causes panic button has happened during the corona,

virus pandemic. to ensure food security, transportation, and traffic can be allowed to collapse either. that's another piece of critical infrastructure and clean water is a central for nutrition and interruption and the supply also paralyzes production processes and quickly causes illness. of course, this also includes medical care like hospitals and medicines. the financial end insurance sectors also need to be preserved so the economy stays intact. the german government also counts information technology and telecommunications, media and culture, government and administration, and waste disposal as critical infrastructure. but how do you protect it? all continuous monitoring is impossible. instead, these systems need to become more resistant for ex simple, small self, sufficient power grids could be built that continue to function after an attack.

although critical infrastructure protection is still in its infancy, it's becoming increasingly urgent. the whole world wants to fly everywhere. in global air traffic is booming, like never before, especially in emerging markets such as india and china. this requires airplanes, lots of airplanes. the 2 top dogs are boeing and airbus for chinese suppliers. also one, a piece of the pie. competition is getting fiercer and fiercer, more and more people want to fly. the industry measures this in passenger kilometers, like distances, times people on board. and that adds up to a lot since 2012 passengers have logged over 5.7 trillion kilometers in the air. and the trend is increasing. only during the pandemic. was there any noticeable decline? but forecasts predict the strong growth by 2041. humans,

we left sloan over 20 trillion passenger kilometers. china is going to become the largest and transport market before the end of this decade. and what that means for china or line is it is going to be something like $1200000000.00 extra passenger jr. and these per year to from and within china, in 2014 compared with where we were in $29.00 saying air traffic is growing throughout asia, including in up and coming to india. the, you know, you have 300000000 indians to are now classified as middle class. that is a shock because one of the criteria for being middle class and the global economy means that conceivably, you might fly or maybe even, you know, once every couple of years. that's extraordinary. due to this increasing demand for

air travel, airports throughout the country are being modernized or newly built air india. he's getting itself ready from new uniforms and new connections to order a 470 new boeing and airbus aircraft. the big truck, could it be a traffic had been going through other people's airlines in the you know, where it's, frankly, we're any good, but that has changed and they are in the is now under new ownership. indigo, a very good. everyone is expanding to international routes. and all of them are ordering plans and hoping to get them soon. level demand for aircraft is increasing rapidly. airlines are expected to need almost 41000 more aircraft by 2040 to boeing's engineer buses. water books are already

pretty filled up for the next decade. that's also an opportunity for new competitors. chinese aircraft manufacturers wants to take advantage of this. i know, developing new aircraft they've got the testing with a pretty good market even though even of growth is slowing. a lot of government resources. the only thing they could do to screw up this formula is to do what they're doing. their strategy towards developing an airline industry. and airliner industry is kind of all wrong. they were demanding technology transfer with no intellectual property protection. the aircraft manufactured by chinese aviation companies are based on outdated western technologies, which has been updated china. however, this has only been moderately successful so far. so their 1st production jet,

the or j 21 was arguably the worst you had ever built as a consequence. and they're taking exactly the same approach with the c 919, maybe the next time they'll get it right. but there are so many problems with this . the c 919, was tended to be a potential competitor to western manufacturers such as boeing and airbus. it was recently unveiled at this single port international aviation conference via crypt concurrently only be used in mainland china, and international approvals has still not been secured. every airline would be delighted to have another manufacturer, especially those in asia. asia pacific we think is going to be the fastest growing region the next 20 years. the population trends in asia suggest a young growing ending increasingly wealthy middle class. and it wants to see the world, it promises to be a gigantic growth market for the entire aviation industry. air

quality is poor and many cities. and then somebody gets cities. you can no longer see your hands in front of your face. one reason there are still far too many cars on the road. how can we get more people on to public transportation to protect the environment? entertainment. how about making it free? in the south of france and multiple yeah, they're trying to do just that. as multi year slowly wakes up this monday morning. high in shelby is on her way to work. since december 2023, she no longer drives a parents, cough the 7 to the home it has to the office. the republic transportation is a really good idea, especially for people who think twice before spending 50 yours on

a monthly pounds. i only earned 2000 euros each month. it's similar for my sister who now also uses public transportation on it for the program is funded by a 2 percent wage tax. that companies with at least 11 employees must pay such as the $1.00 where am i in works as the managers assistant i see the company used to be in an area with pro, a public transportation connections. and so that's why we move to this location, which is just a 3 minute walk from a tron stop one, you'd actually do that in the well, once the taxes we pay are being used. so it's something that benefits. so science, welcome to the like, been interested in the heart of the mid sized company, provides easy to use no code management software for businesses. it has 60 employees and an on your turnover of 1500000 years. it aims to recruit up to 10

most off this year and says that sustainability will remain a crucial element of its expansion tons. okay, and i software developer, we only use servers that run exclusively on renewable energy, and that's what we have planted fruit trees in the garden and we limit the electricity that we use for lighting and air conditioning. and last year we had our carbon footprint calculated, you know, kind of, we've been buying too much plastic for instance, on. so this to leeway from proof may not be me. what us the city's social is the government is pleased with such efforts it through a party to celebrate this thoughts of monthly use free public transport. in december 2023 of the family to put the heed free level of transportation. i give us citizen to some of the purchasing power. your, jeff, what's an ecological and a social matter of fact,

we'll do. sure. helps us fight global warming. he said it doesn't punish people who need some brings everybody. yeah. and hopefully they're going back to it to you or the cars, the cleaner, the air we breathe here he left for his p a. the scheme costs $30000000.00 euros each year with the city's budget reaching $1000000000.00 us economists agree that the money is well spent on to satisfy the like every public service. this is a tool for income redistribution, feeling it out in fillings, and it has a positive x terminal effect. and as you'll see, it, i'm hoping it lowers the city c o 2 emissions and pollution present before. it also seems to be leading to new shops opening in more social diversity in the city center. as it's easier for people to get around next to people. that's what's so she had to see but not every one a month. a use tends to benefit much from the free public transport system. the neighboring town of sounds, all of the best part of great i'm on for you,

has about 12000 residents and counting. you go to your lives in central month of you, but works in the suburb. he's part of the group that says the money spend should instead be invested in expanding the existing transport network. the way it allows you to is the son john to read us only trans stuff. okay. uh the truck only runs every 15 minutes. you can move, even though at the end of the work day point, people need to get home telephone with that. if the connection has so the local town hall is set up a shuttle in one district here that you have to pay for it, the move and make some couple of transportation free. you need to make sure all parts of the city have access to the network, especially in a growing city like this one on a row. so you've only please people in the world connected center and forget about those living on the outskirts of the city. the city is trying to change that by an additional term line that we're run through songs on with us and you bus lines. the company also ends to become even corina,

a new say single sunday or a year where there's a life changing event club where it's you said the new and reinstalled. so not 10. it's on the rumors. they've become even more sustainable plumbing your own car. and it's on the back to on the especially since energy prices have risen because the, in any case, transportation is no longer the biggest che, and the companies carbon footprint. almost half of the employees here take public transport to look is mobility possible without the car or public transportation? how about the cycling in the fresh air? it's good for your health, but often exhausting and can be dangerous. a new bike could provide a remedy. cycling with artificial intelligence. this bicycle is equipped with

cameras. a screen and 5 g. yeah, so you could watch videos so you can run the photo that would be dangerous. but the camera, the back service to alert the rider about dangerous. we have a uh rear camera with a i for a vehicle detection. so if you're riding the bike and there is that you come in vehicle, it will give you a notification. we weren't allowed to test it though it's unclear how expensive it will be. would you buy one level logistics without tens of thousands of tons of pollution in the oceans or in the air? a major challenge for industrialized nations traffic in cities. how does environmental

protection to hasn't henderson, ability and how do we counter the threat of sabotage? can paralyze our critical infrastructure in a flash? thanks for watching and take care. see you next week. the
