1:30 pm
we'll talk fixing hills cultural identity meant, let's say together talks about community life on the service. the research is now on the why goes in pakistan is feeling the joy of books and the is the hope for los angeles, many homeless, the ends could ocean's souls on energy needs. the
1:31 pm
almost 40 percent of people in pakistan lives below the poverty line. aaliyah knows me too well, how tough spots were on the beach of karachi unpack. it stands a reading and see sure it's a long weekend, the fun on the waterfront for pakistan's middle class, the country is facing a crucial test. we can sense that here. nobody believes that anything will change quickly and fundamentally after the election, if you're a good thing with a heart, goes with the problems with these things. so if you are going right i didn't show up on the evening before, after landing, and the 25000000 inhabitant metropolis, we realize what the norm is. challenges any future government here in pakistan would face its only rain for an hour before arrival. and large parts of the capital
1:32 pm
are practically underwater. even the next morning, the water has still not drained away everywhere. and then narrow streets of karachi is historically already district. we want to know what people expect from a new government. as very few foreigners come to this district notorious for drugs and gain crime, we are immediately surrounded. everyone wants to tell us something. what we need here is like tricity water, gasoline. i mean, that's all we need here. that'd be really helpful ourselves. but that's what we need to do that might be able to move, a standing thought wants to show us something that they were really proud of. here we follow him to a place that disproves all of our prejudices. green's and young women stare, spell bound. and what's happening in front of them, they watch everything closely, fully concentrated and engaged.
1:33 pm
the people started here 7 years ago. here in the boxing arena in li are you doing? this? is a new generation is doing really well. this is pakistan's future. we all hope to step into the ring for pakistan in the future. what's unique, it's mostly girls who bandage their hands getting ready to find. good preparation is important, since they're no longer friends once they enter the ring. as we meet only assumable in the boxing ring, she's tearing on her friend and is fully engaged. she herself, is not fighting today, not her age group. the was was, you know, are these ring is if you are going to ring and you are going to, you know,
1:34 pm
your readings like i wasn't going to ring and i wasn't reading the for all the after the 3rd round, it's clear that her friend has one the boxing sleek and the stands and the coach, all cheer. the champion gives a friendly pan on the back. all you is the star of the scene. we need her the next day at her boxing club. at 18, she has won nearly every fight in her way. class so far in karachi and all over the country. she trains 5 days a week and gives it her own hard game and i'm not doing and i'm not, i can't do this an icon the doing for boxing. so it's not good. but if you're saying that icon to anything, so you or do anything. yeah. preparing for this foreign match with her best friend, warming up before getting down to business. so i am an idiot ready to him to form
1:35 pm
a fight and i'm so excited because i'm going to fight and that's why, you know, i like my feelings was angry. i redid for my opponents for some neither of the 2 friends gives in the dance around each other, get each other, give their own to me to find boxing between girls and young women has long been found upon and conservative. most of them pakistan. but, you know, and her friends no longer want to fulfill the traditional summit enrolled and started boxing. so people are also saying that you are a god, you are not doing this. go back to it because it's not your work. uh, as far as oregon, but are saying that you are a guys who are also involved and making the fords. and uh, like, uh, you know, after a matter do, you are also how is that i so you are not doing for other things, but this is not a good thing. i think so. but things are changing. even for the men watching here,
1:36 pm
there are more important things than tradition is going. was he doing over the wish to do much more for the girls and encouraged them? we have a lot of drug problems here. we have to get the use out of it. and motivate them to do sports sports. you're gonna play cat aaliyah shows us her neighborhood. she confidently states that we don't need to be afraid if she is there. everyone knows her, but it is dangerous. here you are down here. so gang wireless and like a getting him for anybody. but that's why people are also saying that this is danger. yeah, and i'm not coming here and you, but i also gave him for my uh, my 1st turn to and my family person. so that's what people are also saying that i would not come here. but poverty is the biggest problem. pakistan's economy is on the verge of collapse. aaliyah takes us to her home. she says that her family doesn't have enough to eat every day. we meet her father, we climb
1:37 pm
a ladder up to the roof, as there was no room for all of us in the small apartment. he says he was happy to offer his daughter a different life and that the blows to her face would often lead to swelling. that she's getting a minute. sometimes i have words. sometimes i don't remember now is one of the best for my children. i wanted all of you to learn english properly. i sent her to a language school for a few months, but now i don't have the money anymore. how do we have to give it on a 6 year old a month for her education is too much. she's now taking her feet into her own hands and wants to become a professional boxer. she accepts all the hurdles and enjoy law. she will make it every free minute. she has only 3. the around 1800000 people worldwide lack adequate housing. the issue affects even
1:38 pm
wealthy countries. the number of homeless people in the us recently hit 650000 los angeles. rock bottom, you're on skid row, the cities worse neighborhood and one of america's most dangerous. even so we can film here because we are joined by the general and are able to get some rare insight. he's been living on the streets here for almost 20 years. he's 61 now and skid row is this life. because young son lives far away with his mother, they see each other every 2 months. the
1:39 pm
general lives here in this tax. this is only hands. believe it or not is my thing thing. so is like a my color match the ball mass to boot. that was like the gyptian days to build the small pyramids where they can fit in and they would thing thing. well, believe it or not, i get a lot done here is a way for me to get away from the world. you know, stand means that he will cool world idea the general duncan with his nickname and present. first came drug addiction. then a life of crime, a bank robbery logging, residents of people to be served. 11 years time spent reading about prisoners rights. he wrote present complaints and became inactive in one of the parks that was of the account. so remember one of the, now he works for an 8 organization and or, and so it was $1500.00 a month. it was the original a 1000 for his wife and child 500 for himself residents. you know, he believes that politicians want to keep, get, wrote this way to,
1:40 pm
to get rid of the homeless here are straight to jail because the city took everything up because they want us to poverty. it homelessness has always been criminalized in the city. like a homeless people has always been looking at a looked at 3rd class citizens, the generative society, right. and with that said, investments have never been put in to homelessness and stuff like that. they've invested or go to investments has been put in, but not in house. they vote for police. and so the majority of the money, the reason why i come, you see all is because the majority of the money goes to police and the homeless as opposed to housing, the home. it's the entire neighborhoods in the us were segregated and consistently neglected, especially black neighbors. it was called red lining, and its consequences are still felt here. she are already and hopelessness. white helps the homeless with his organization l a can
1:41 pm
general dog on also works for it. pete life wants to dispel, submit about homelessness. if you create a whole policy routed in people are house and is because they want to be because of their substance abuse because of mental illness. the government has no right, right. like the government's not respond simple. well, when you start talking about housing affordability, housing availability barely start talking about structure. permanent housing is the key. the city of los angeles has also recognized this, but there's not enough affordable housing, a one bedroom apartment, a late cost, an average of $2000.00. maria esparza was lucky after 2 years and a homeless shelter. she found her way into a city program and now has her own apartment. not been yet. it's
1:42 pm
a day of new beginning for me. i mean, i love my place, it's comfortable. i love my big, huge package, you know, and like i said, just to be able to sit here and just, you know, do you art work, right. listen to music, watch tv. and just be by yourself is very nice. you know, uh, i missed that. and in the municipal programs, there are social workers in every home to help residents get back on their feet. when is it also for the long term is hanging over, but there's a shortage of hundreds of thousands of apartments. so because it has a lot of meaning to so the city is trying to build quickly, re purposing municipal buildings and hotels. and i'm trying to stop people from losing their homes in the 1st place. what we want to do is stop the and flow into homelessness right here. now, lake county for approximately like we're able to bring about 200 people inside
1:43 pm
every day in the housing and about 220 people become homeless on that day. so we're, we have to stop the info into homelessness. if we're able to solve that inflow, then we'll be able to solve how much that is, even with the $700000000.00 that california has made available. they struggle to cope with the problem. but only can active is c, like at the end of the tunnel. now it's just not the black and brown poor people. now you have white folks in asia and folks and others who are struggling in this. a kind of, i am, have seen that with so many other new faces joining the ranks of the poor that we will be able to build the power necessary to actually have policy that values overprint the american dream may be unattainable. but there's always a little hope general dog on is trying to save some money so he can move from
1:44 pm
a 10 to an r v the the. so the my wish a dream would be where everybody have a place. you know, like the rats in the roaches. we all got some way to go, crawled into the copy on the evening and last angeles. and as many leave the glittering office buildings for their beautiful homes. right next door on skid row. some people prepare for another rough night, the grenada, with its tropical heat and lush greenery. as a caribbean dream. on the east, the island norbert. julian's tranquil farm, coconut sentiments, bananas, papayas, and frankly,
1:45 pm
the trees full of not meg. you see not legs of different stages. no 4th of all that the, the very time the feet. yeah. very 10 to young. right. from that stage it goes, it could be that states. right. and then after this, these, it come to that stage. how about example here? like, wait, actually pop. separating the, the, the, the part from the not make side. so if i open it right, you eventually if it open. right. and then it will fall apart. i know this is an adult, much will not make at 1st glance, his plantation looks like a garden of eden, but it's threatened by climate change and the warmer the water gets the more destructive are the hurricanes. a good doesn't hurricanes occur in the caribbean
1:46 pm
every year of these, an average of 2.7 become devastating or catastrophic category 3 to find storms. norbert remembers one particular hurricane with horror in just a few hours. he lost everything. everything was set up, right? everything was ready to all the trees on the ground, but only a few tree will find them still. so everything was flap, don't update for us, not us. so you know, bankruptcy. we have both a month to pay us on the phone and the ring died. so the plan, which is, is really, yeah, we does papaya vanilla, exotic flowers in almost everything trying same granados volcanic soil. the caribbean trains still
1:47 pm
exist with incense and unique flavors, sentiment, pepper cloves, and not make the the music clumps and specialty restaurants and the port of capital st. george's. fill up in the evenings. the tourism is in full swing until the next hurricane. most islanders rely only on hold, let the next to retain spare us will just close our eyes and get through it. cinnamon and not meg will provide caribbean spice for as long as possible. the small caribbean islands like completely vulnerable in the middle of the ocean. if a hurricane approaches the alarm bells ring in the media or
1:48 pm
a logical operation center and granada airport as with monster, hurricane events which reached the dangerous category 5 will probably be it made landfall on september 7th, 2004. that will happen our i think we had some speed off 11175, our strong grenada was set back decades. it's hard to imagine what will happen. and the next hurricane hits the island. you could be working for 50 years to build up every thing i didn't want the one that's that is all you have to go. i mean we saw that in the i 5, most of the victories went on a lot of people live off of that. so we meet norbert julian's family at dinner. yes,
1:49 pm
they are all deeply religious. they say that god confronts people with small trials and big ones, such as past and future climate catastrophes. hurricane ivan pulled the ground out from under his feet. since then, his harvest has not been enough to live on norbert julian's main job, driving a bus. nutmeg is now just a hobby. the could the oceans generate power. the technology to hong this ocean energy has existed for more than a century. it's known as the ocean single energy conversion, whole tech. why has it yet to be embraced?
1:50 pm
when you look at the surface of the ocean, the water here can be quite more because it's easy to find the sun in tropical waters that can be around 26 degrees celsius. at a 1000 meters deep, the temperature reaches roughly 4 degrees celsius. and this difference in temperature is what ocean thermal energy conversion utilizes. it's quite simple. you need a heat exchanger, the warm surface water heater of fluids that has a low boiling point. that fluid evaporates creating a theme. and that's theme runs a turbine, generating electricity similar to our regular steam engine. then the spring gets cooled by the deep sea water back into liquid. and the cycle repeats. this technology was late in 1881 by french physicist junk. i'll send dolphins on a student, josh quote, then actually built the 1st spot on successful opec plan. in 1930 later interest in
1:51 pm
tech p 21, the prices exploded during the final crisis and 1980 us president jimmy carter signed a loan to ensure the production of 10000 megawatts of electricity from opec in the next 2 decades. currently, there are 2 unsure of research plants, one on the island of coma in japan, with 100 kilowatts and the other one. and one are you with 100? 5 kilowatts. french developers were sent to launch a 16 megawatt plant to martinique and 2020. but the project has reportedly been shown due to technical difficulties. there were other research projects as well, but non lasted very long. so even though it's not a new idea, this technology is still very much in its infancy. most of the pilot plans were set up on shore to make a tech commercially viable. at the large scale, you need to go off short. this is him on kugler from mckinley ocean engineering, which has been developing low tech parts in hawaii since 1979. you know, the 510 amount of sites would you need for your, your call,
1:52 pm
the water and even for your return, your discharge pipeline as well. and the amount of trenching in shore line crossing for a commercial scale plants would just be infeasible. stem costs for him to as well going off shore makes it possible to install multiple tech platforms next to each other. similar to offshore wind parks, but currently costs are still more than doubled the price of other renewables. the tricky construction of the deep sea water pipes are turned off for major investors . but before we get into that, let's look at where this technology can be used. the major limiting factor is that we need a big temperature difference between the surface and the deep sea water. warm surface water is available all year round in the tropical equitorial cell. so, oh, tech would help bring more energy to tropical island. and many of
1:53 pm
them still rely on diesel generators. studies even suggest that if you disregard practical and financial hurdles couldn't power the entire world, hypothetically. today estimates for a $100.00 megawatt o tech plants range from $780000000.00 to $1500000000.00. and there's another big unknown called water fight. and the pipes, the cold water pipe, these days hard plastic pipes up to 3 meters in diameter or no problem. but for 100 megawatt plant, you think pipes almost 4 times that size they haven't even been developed yet to. it is complex because the pipe needs to be stable and flexible at the same time to not break apart when it gets hit by waves or current development is tricky. and india no tech plant never went online because the deep sea water pipe failed. and
1:54 pm
even if an old tech plant were to work, it could be destroyed by a storm. that's what happened to one of the 1st pilot plants in 1930. this uncertainty has driven away companies with more than $40000000000.00 us dollars in revenue, lockheed martin was sent to build the biggest tech plant to date and china, but dropped the project due to its cost. but it's possible that costs could be caught. for example, in the heat exchangers to give you a bit of perspective, the heat exchangers on a commercial scale attack plan are about a 3rd of the entire project cost. so the, the reason that these are so expensive for commercial attack is the, you, titanium, deep seawater is very corrosive. we've developed that we call the thin foil heat exchanger. and as the name implies, we're using pin foils. and the purpose of that is basically we're trying to reduce the amount of material and also the size. another big question mark is the actual effect on the environment because you're moving insane amounts of water. we're
1:55 pm
talking about $4300000000.00 leaders of the warm water and $2200000000.00 leaders of cold water per day for a small plant. there are a lot of question marks about our tech, the economics, the environmental side effects, the cold water pipe and today's ponds. i'll just wait to tiny to figure anything of that out. and in the last 10 years, not much this happened without serious investment won't be taking off any time soon . would you like more insights and solutions from around the world? if you want to meet the people fighting claimant changed visit us on facebook. if you want the story behind the headlines, follow us on instagram and $51.00 green lights tax checkouts optic token. the

1:57 pm
i had never ever conceded that i would be homeless. women in the fifty's is the fast as cohort of people experiencing homelessness in australia and will sleep out of the public high women, one even tell the families what they're experiencing, falling from middle class into poverty. they shouldn't homeless in 15 minutes. and d, w, we travel across the african continent here from those put kid in the life bringing
1:58 pm
down. i'm sure they can motivate you. and also what do you need to come to the peers and also come talented. young people in africa know all about it. they're ready to stand up for the right to fulfilling self determines like the 77 percent in 90 minutes. on d w, the we are all set and we're watching closely in to bring you the story behind the news. we wrote about unbiased information for free money, driven by agreed in the 2000 the storage of band engaged in various high risk
1:59 pm
business practices, race for ever higher profit. and then the epic demise of a german institution. the dodge of bank story starts may seconds on the w the the
2:00 pm
basically the, the news life from berlin, taking the blame for intelligence failures in the october 7, 10 out attacks. the head of insurance industry. intelligence unit becomes the 1st senior figure out to resign. the failures that allows us to attack and kids more than a 1000 people. also coming up, your parents presidency is billions of dollars and us funding will ensure your brain does not become another forgotten conflict that's up to us. don't make as approve of package of as if you needed me to create and the chinese province of gong over a 100000 people are evacuated as floods, sweeper rate or in default.
