process, that's all for now up. next we have a report looking at the environmental dispute surrounding test. plus, you go factory near berlin. thanks for watching the hot tips for your package. the zip code is spots affinities. check on some great cultural memorials to boot dw travel regarding this shadow. some of these pop costs and video shed lights on. the dog is devastating. colonial har is infected by germany across up and he employed to score farms and destroyed lights. what is the legacy of this wide spread races, depression, today?

history. we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism. the, the people here are being taken for a ride test level to make sure that this is the gemstone area for germany. and for europe, and for the world we impose, such as the pen here in canada, because we can't afford to carry on this way. why? so who lives? multi billionaire, he alone must once it's company tesla to expand the giga factory in germany, knocked down parts of this forest. turning what was once a sleepy little germantown upside down. it's a battle of david versus goliath. the

24 year old roman is ready to climb up to his current home. he has been living in a tree house in the forest for the past month. and that's not, 1st of all, i look for a student grading and that's how it feels, deeply happy in the woods. but ever since i got here, i've also felt fully grounded. but a part of this forest is to be cut down to expand a factory that is building climate friendly electric cars. a contradiction says roman who is set to start his master's, specializing in environmental protection. he and others are occupying the trees as a form of civil resistance to tesla. many of the active as cover their faces when the cameras are on. romans name is also only an alias. test those tests is great at selling what they're doing as

a solution is the green alternatives to what we already have. we can't afford to carry on this way and that's what it's like a long term. not everyone will be able to have a car come over as long as it's because i'm trying to see it on auto hub. ready ready ready ready wire parts of this forest endangered. let's run through it. in 201911, most adults. but tesla would be coming to clean the height of a small town. just east of berlin. mosque bought land from the state of brandenburg to build a mass of factory. this plant produces tesla's model. why? for the european and international market, a mid range s u v, which was the world's best selling car last year. currently, tests that produces around $300000.00 electric cars per year at clean hide and wants to more than tripled. this number of scaling, the production process would require tesla to expand the giga factory, knocking down a part of a forest for a logistics center and a train station. this is some things we'd hide a resident model we,

la jolla will not stand for. we met her because she found the local citizens initiative and as campaigning loudly against any further expansion since day one, she's been fighting against the giga factories, destruction of the environment, as she calls it, the young people living in the camp, the calm, her natural allies. this on toy as it does, it's great that so many young people are committed to preserving the forest and water act as vitus. there's lots of and that's why these are via most of this forest. and the area of the head is in the drinking water protection zone. the some goose entire i'm st. qualify for. it could be not just the trees or a point of concern in the ground beneath, lived vital water supplies. if these were to be contaminated, tens of thousands of people might find themselves without drinking water. she fears

isn't comstock. it's a bottle of david versus goliath. it's a fight that just makes you feel powerless and angry. at times. i still loved in a recent poll, held include height of over 60 percent of citizens voted against the test. those plans to expand the plans, even though tesla, hudson scaled down its plans, the company is still set on expanding its facility of your stay notes here for these are size pops here. we are standing in front of this darned factory on. yeah, i want to tell you understand about the surveys showing the residents of gluten high to didn't want an expansion, idaho one. and we'll continue to find it again can test or should stay on the site that's already been brewing and not clear any more forest china and vitamin vitamin who we want to hear test left side of the story. but our interview requests go on, answered the company is in from us for not replying to media requests. however,

what is known is that they built a brand new industrial water filtration system. it allows the giga factory to recycle almost all of its industrial wastewater part, despite tesla's environmental efforts. the giga factory continues to face heavy resistance. in march, a power mask was set on fire. a radical leftist group played responsibility for the attack, which halted production that tests look for days, costing the company millions the lot most called the group, the quote, dumbest e co terrorists on earth for stopping the production of electric vehicles and visited the plant include high to the attack was condemned by local authorities and marked the biggest escalation so far. we want to hear an expert's take on the environmental situation and meet water scientist my team push. he says the area has been heavily impacted by climate

change. and despite recent reins is usually one of the driest regions in germany. to me cuz i'm a public than usual to do the factory and a water protection area, people are worried about test. so now is all the body of water where the factory is located is one of the few we have in this region. but if it were to become polluted, that'd be nothing to replace it with a flip, some of that. but the factory also has the porters among the local population. to my knowledge, i screwed up. my name is albert cooler and from june high to innovation in the future are important to me and i think it's important. tim, good, the testing is here i have is trula as part of the different citizens initiative together with his friend to be us live. he follows and

documents the development of giga berlin, to be you definitely, steve, a test that everyone's talking about test line, tesla also instruments has everything to go through some testing and makes many decisions that provoke discussions we can do without god being can they say one of their goals is the battlements information that has been pulled out by some of the test. let's opponents their initiative is they are to inform fellow citizens and enable affect driven debate grounded on a scientific basis. they say, just like the protesters in the camp, they are also worried about climate change. as other than everyone always says, electric cars can stop climate change on their own. that's true, but public transport can't either. nothing on its own can stop climate change. we need lots of different solutions and it is a who transportation is one of the world's largest contributors to carbon emissions. electric vehicles are seen as part of the solution by many tesla which

specializes any of these is the world's most valuable car company. currently, there are 5 giga factories operating around the world tests. let's get factory in germany opened in 2022 and is the only one in europe. test will make sure that this is a gemstone for the area for germany, for europe, and for the wells of the plant has generated economic growth in the region around 12000. people currently work a test line between height alone. tesla is such a big name, even germany's chancellor old offshore showed up for the opening. the i'd like to move in the electron mobility will shape the mobility of the future. that is clear here today, the clot despite the support from the highest levels of government,

the 9000 people actually living and we hide to have very mixed opinions on tesla. the many people we met who refused to speak on cameras, said there was a tear running through the fabric of the town. families and friends are divided into separate comes some criticize tesla, others be active as josh and yeah, i think it's a shame. but if it brings any benefits to going high to in the region, i'd say yes on the i was on his progress, which i was basically in favor of tests that come in here. i still stand by that because it can only advance the region of i was actually a bit against expansion though because i think they should use the space they already have 1st to make sure, you know, i'm not, i'm just rather than protesting, they should be trying to get one of the jobs test was offering. how many members probably never worked a day in their lives. they should work for 48 years like i did. that entire will just lay about it's good for nothing's going. the,

this is where 2 worlds flush on their way to work. in the giga factory test, the workers have to pass by a t test lab protesters. very few of them ever stop at the info stands to chat with the actors. it's difficult for women to find people to talk to so it's just him and the car except that because if anything is a few that has to be 5 years ago. i would have said testament, amazing or something. i know them. i don't know. i have a different opinion without a point than not such a car from these days. yeah, i think that we're simply spoiling a lot of opportunities with excessive individual transport. uh, fox news hall. so i talked about and what does it say stuff tests. well filming in front of the main entrance, we are approached by

a test flight employee. hello douglas. i just wanted to wondering what you guys filming, what do you guys up to which outlet you are from? yes, i am from pesa or, or you probably are so sorry to say we don't really haven't press department to test. so usually our policy is, uh, i mean everybody has their own road here, obviously, so they can do whatever they want. but we usually have this then, but then nobody really talks to the press. woman says it will be difficult to find common ground. when asked what a solution could look like. he tells us the 1st step for him is to stop test was expansion. and then maybe some day to end the production of eaves and instead build trends buses and trains in what was once the test was giga factory. but it's not realistic. the must be the investigator

search power behind it. one of the richest people in the world has decided this thing should go here and people eat out of his hand out for the life and i'm going to globally connected is the richest people in the world generally have much more leeway many more context then we may be having our treehouse of youngs. i'm almost west and south and so he's back in his world. that's so different from the joint giga factory, the, the forest seems to be peaceful right now. while the fight against the tesla continues the how many of you speak more than 2 languages? at least 2 or more languages. we used to be taught to speak english. why we,

we can from becky ground of speaking, hey, we have to embrace and so i hear me. but do you, do you lose you? i just simply by learning a level language, when i speak english, i should say they can do this. pressing this 77 percent next on dw is kind of always in signatures. the sized run. see with like caching and full ways where it's 09 in 60 minutes on d w, right? he's got any issues or thoughts say well the

this week on the 77 percent street debate, we used to be forced to speak english. why we we can from becky ground, don't speaking. so here we have seen raised and in. so i, healy, what do you, do you lose your identity simply by learning and the language when i speak english, i tried to induce making dinner which means i have to leave or make up just behind my family to, to, to, to, to not just new phones with one.
