the best time time, so he so focused chip. no, because i trust the number to the forward to technical church. 3 generations. one jenny starts july 7th on d. w. the no money for medical care i don't to, in indonesia is paid in plastic recyclable, the full sterilization in canada, a legacy of systemic discrimination, and contamination control per se. germany's unresolved issue with radioactive waste . the

era is a full 100 nuclear reactors in operation worldwide. and that number continues to grow. they generate thousands of tons of radioactive waste each year, and no one knows what to do with it. that's an issue even for countries like germany that have shut down laptops. we headed towards the center of germany, close to the phone, the border between west and east. this entire area has a lot of sold on the ground. people here used to live from farming for centuries until a big salt mine opened around 1900, transforming the area. the 3 soft split, the balance mining continued up to 1964 when it stopped being profitable. around the same time, west germany was looking for a place to store radioactive waste that had started piling up from the growing nuclear industry. that's when the full,

i settled on this particular soul, by the way, getting an exclusive tour on the site. not to my mind works for the operator of the mind, and it's taking us on the ground and we're ready for the day of the year. so just a matter what you need to wear the whole time. hi dustin to so this message is radioactivity parts of that and there were any, it would show up on the meter. this is our oxygen in case of emergency not the best feeling to have to be this repaired. between 19671978, around 826000 drums of low and intermediate level of waste were brought here into

the us a to microsoft. most of it is waste from nuclear, react as like filters or construction material. a small part as waste from research and medical facilities. but the, the also contains some uranium amplitude you, all of the waste was stored in 13 chambers mocked here in red. and it's all still lying around today. the for all 1st stop, we're getting as close to the nuclear waste as possible. thank the. the susan, this is a charging chamber. charging simply means loading up of there was a crane and then came the waist up. feller done. come to mind. you could open the shaft here and then the barrels of waste were brought in one by one through this

hole 1st into the storage chamber directly underneath us. i never was come, i do this tech from tons with center. he's like right under us, been going to yes, the highest point of the cone is probably right under a piece of paper from kia. these barrels were regular metal knots made to holding radiation. many may have been damaged while being brought in. and it's unclear how radioactive, the inside of the chamber actually is understood here, where maybe 40 meters above the waist and the meter doesn't detect any 2nd govern aulshlag or no. right? and it says 0.000 mike receiver and which is due to the salt strong shielding effect right down here. we're exposed to less radiation. then at the information center that kind of feeding us kind of all scripts are about target and the enforced dental di have months there years as close to cosmic radiation from space terrestrial radiation from the earth plus the device is all around you. really ation comes from everywhere,

but here you're completely shielded from it by the salt. i'm sure i'm justified. sold also conducts heat well, meaning that one radioactive waste can cool down without damaging the sold will significantly. on top of that contra re truck, it can expand and float ceiling and filling cavities of its own accord, making a talk to come yet so great. in theory, if they wasn't, it is not so tiny problem with the water. because the biggest problem to us a has is that there was a lot of water that's leaking into the tunnels. they, more than $500.00 leaks in the mines. the, including the chambers with radioactive waste could fill up with this water. to stop that from happening, they operate a, b, g, e is collecting it. we're headed to the main with a collection point inside the mind. when you open up there, you can see stalactites on the ceilings, but it's definitely went there as well. that's the liquid we're catching and the storage base and this is, this is kind of see a one type of for this you,

i'm surprised that i can offer differentiates on what's coming out here. now is water that fully saturated with salt type system. so that means no more rocks salt is able to dissolve into water because there's already so much of it does come to an entries here from outside of the mind. and that's what's flowing along here into the space and is about 90 percent of the solutions that comes into the mind. we're going to get to that as yet. and today about 12000 liters of water pour in every day. it has to be checked for contamination. is this water is uncontaminated and can be exempted by the radiation protection agency and it can be transported above ground, but then the remaining 10 percent of the water to come on. i'm interested in other points of the mind, some of it close to the waste. so a small part of the water is also contaminated. right now, it's not as if this water can somehow get into the environment, right? but as we can't guarantee that, this is what i mean. so we have to remove the wings, start from the thing with somebody else,

but the incoming water is not the only problem. when the salt mine was operational, nobody so this would become a storage place for nuclear waste to maximize profits. many tunnels would close to each other, safety precautions and support structures were reduced to a minimum to mine as much sold as possible. the pressure of the rock surrounding the sol constantly pushes against the mine and causes cracks. that's why over 90 percent of the mine have to be filled up with sold and concrete to stabilize. and also why a total of over $600.00 people walk here to one is a and so the secure was a mine the. the big question really is, how could this have happened about the job market? then they also wanted to save money by reusing a mine. is that correct laptops? conk ellis hits the us, the information center. you come to a backbone once on that to you and next to mine was closed in $9064.00 because it

was no longer profitable. this just happened to be when the government was looking for a waste facility, and todd come into pretty shocked, and then they ultimately decided on the also to head to i don't the most with the decision that's always been controversial due to the geology guys, the minds relatively advanced angels, on the risk of leg phone losing. so what's them on the stomach? some of these people know back then that they might be problems who may have a problem and it had to is this, they could potentially have another one in but ultimately came to a different assessment ease of use if they had been told about the risks starting back from the growing nuclear needed a dumping ground fast, so the risk sweat don't played. the entire project was supposed to be a quick fix. with little 2 knows thoughts sped for the long term consequences. at 1st, also what the declared to only be research storage facility use for medical and scientific waste only. but actually almost all of the intermediate and low level waste from

west german nuclear reactors was then dumped here in the beginning of the waste was stacked. but after a while, barrels were lutrece dumped into the mind to reduce the radioactive exposure of the truck jarvis. dump trucks also drove over the waste, damaging many of the barrels. energy companies didn't pay anything to store their waste until 1975. and we don't even exactly know which type of waste was dumped because the documentation was very poorly and vaguely done. in 1988 war to stop leaking in multiple mining soft collapse. but the public is only informed about the magnitude of the problem almost 10 years later. in 1997 to operate the suggests closing the mind with all of the waste inside. the plan does not mention anything about the long time safety and possible contamination in 2008 . the news breaks that water has been coming into contact is radioactive waste for

years, pools of contaminated water had been collecting right in front of the chambers containing it. and the operator had disposed of it inside the mind without permission. in 2010, it turns out that 10 times more intimate did nuclear waste is stored and then was estimated before years of political mishaps involving nuclear power prompt protests across germany. finally in 2013, the lex after isn't acted. the government decides that the mind is too dangerous and the waste needs to be taken out. i'm happy about that. i know there's a lot of civilization to the problem is a big removal like this has never been done before. the 1st thing we need to do is explode a 13 in placement chambers,

someone up to determine the composition of the surrounding rock and the condition of the waste extensive the up phillip, since many of the barrels a damaged, no human can enter the chambers. they have to be surveyed by remote controlled cameras like this one and retrieved by remotely operated machines. and you shop must be built to transport the barrels out of the household owns of china. and what is the boundaries presented by the hill? because then since that's the mind continues to change, the structure if you haven't been losing. so we have leaks that present a certain danger or not. that's why we need to be aware that time is running out the on stomach them dockens. it's type is on the subaru, that's what, okay, worst case scenario would be leaking that would no longer be manageable. this for the so we have to close the lines with radioactive waste, remaining underground lighting building, when done, and ready, ready to go to. it'll could eventually come up to the service charges. and even if we ignore that frightening scenario, all of this is going to cost a lot of money. just preparing for the removal will cost and estimated 4700000000

euros. and that does not include any of the retrieval itself, which is scheduled to start in 2033. the waste is supposed to be sorted in an interim overground facility and then transported to, well, where exactly must have called what do we need is the final storage place for the radioactive waste log, which we don't have yet will be the opposite. lincoln the size. so, so now we have to store device and temporarily, and that's, that's, that's the issue that is causing a lot of device right now. we have an open potential planets here, and they also hills for 500. we'd like to set up a treatment facility under temporary storage facility here on the upper bundles on laga window switch lago, the ssl plan. all those are is local opposition to the location who couldn't because the awesome mine isn't in a super remote area. only about 2 kilometers selves of it is the village of handling them just at home to approach this group, the type of you get

a co founded once that is only annoy shots, there's supposed to be a new shaft and a new to me. and these are considerable additional burdens for this region, hospital and food. these are like your it's a symbol of a time when nuclear power have to succeed, no matter what. and the long term consequences of the new technology will lots we don't played or ignored. the several many different methods of contraception. the most common is sterilization. a surgical procedure that makes a man or woman inside the child. the u. n. has estimated that move in 200000000 women weld wide have been sterilized that. so while in good if it's a personal decision, but for sterilization is still widespread. lisa,

squeak, i had always dreamt of having a big family. but after giving birth to 2 daughters, she was unable to have any more children or fallopian tubes had been severed by white doctors during surgery and against her. well. i had never told my family up until that point either. and this was just a couple years ago. so when i came across that report i felt validated, and i knew that what happened to me wasn't right. i just, i didn't know where i could share it was a who, who is going to believe me. the canadian government estimates that at least 12000 indigenous women had been forcibly sterilized since the 19 seventy's list has convinced that the figure is far higher and that the practice is still going on. they are sitting with a group of 4 or 5 women. and each of those women know somebody from the community

who never had a child. why i need us. and canada used to have legislation that allowed to force that realization of indigenous women. this was repealed in the early 19 seventy's family, but after the birth of her daughter anita pitching east had an experience that left her body violated and her feeling to a shame to talk about it. you really need to get to you to cite. i said why i want to have more babies. i'm only 26, i want more. and i did it because that nurse was like, really she goes, you're going to get cancer in this and that, and i'm states like scary me. women have filed lawsuits against the authorities and a number of regional provinces including 5 class actions. the federal government has provided a $6000000.00 fund for survivors, but new legislation criminalizing forces that realizations,

he's making very sluggish progress, say those affected. but there is change ahead. we're on a trip with indigenous couple james and anthony to the human reservation change works there. as a dr. wiley's husband anthony runs the new midwives program. projects like this one or at least getting some government funding like this. and literally the domain of the birth of program, it's not just about 1st thing a baby. it's about doing so in a way that is culturally save that is respectful. this year the child the men are putting up a t p for a very gifted craft and goes with every time to help revive old traditions. oh, and the midwives program has a personal side for him. his wife is currently pregnant again and done like the 1st time will certainly not be giving birth in the clinic or indigenous people. the hospital is not a safe. you go there,

you're already for your records that they're worried about. many levels of assault abuse and so for this next child was really hoping that things can go normally, naturally, and there's no need for hospital because of all the stress and difficulty of trauma that's come from that 1st alonda is expecting in 2 months time. she and then meet one of the new midwives atlanta is unable to talk about what was done to her during the birth of her 1st daughter lily. except that you'll never be going to a hospital again. uh, we would honestly, the most referred place would be home and sorry, so that, so number one, option of we would have to search the finally, the big day has arrived for jody gadbois cardinal to this is our 1st day on the job as a do on the on the reservation for her a labor of love that enables her to keep her communities traditions alive.

so we've been asking for guidance from our knowledge keepers and our elders, you know, on, on how to run this program. you know, and in a good way and bringing verse back to our community. when our women are in labor, we find them down and smudged them as they're going through their own contractions . that children should be born on the land. because their ancestors were born on the line, there were born in the hospitals. a stone is passed around the women talk frankly about their hopes and fears. in there. my mother had a very traumatic delivery so dramatic that she decided to never have children again. so they never sterilize her, but they sterilize, threw up here it takes

a little bit of way of being afraid, you know, to become a mother that we have guidance and women like you. the midwives program is still in its infancy, but with the communities. fortunately, the clinic has this program with for you 25. if you come in plastic the program, the 2 men went out specially to collect the plastic over the 10 bottles or in them a voucher from the recycling dealer. it's worth the equivalent of 10 euro cents and the treatment for oh yeah, yeah. the idea was born at this clinic in chun drawers south of the capital jakarta for its founder. dr. use of new grandpa. health is intrinsically linked to environmental protection. and it's people in, during the worst hardship who wants to help most filled up filled up the upside. even environmental programs are often to obscurely wooded,

the people to understand. so when i do with the plastic button, this is like cutting 2 birds with one stone. and i mean the people i can help comes to me. and then we also get talking about environmental protection. that every day the doctor sees about 30 to 40 patients like who young, who are unable to afford insurance and therefore depend on vouchers. doctor use of treats people here for free together with 8 other doctors treating cops fever and injuries. and there's no charge for the medication besides the, the amount, the house. but i will use that kind of solidarity system with the patients who are able to pay more if i adjust the price of treatment and they know that they're helping to finance the system. here at the clinic, um, i'll definitely be kind of upset many in the area feel abandoned amid the mass of trash, not least since the on the landfill side shut down due to over feeling. now people

through their waste into the river or burn it in their yards. there's no garbage pickup. indonesia is drowning in waste. these images from the island of bali recently went around the world, a beach cupboard not in sand, but in plastic. a sea of trash swept in from around the world. dr. plastic as he's affectionately known here, he's determined to make a change and turn the next generation into putting environmental list. once a month you said from bro visits in elementary school with waste sorting something, most children in indonesia, i have never heard of today. the classes learning about why plastic bags and boxes has to be disposed of properly. no, no it's yeah. and. and when i was a child myself here in chandra, we still have to clean the rivers. somebody,

somebody once a day with drowning and plastic that people just throw away trash where they line. and if you go with that the side, that's why i come to see the children here in the hope that everything will change for the better on file that even i do that cannot pass on us and we've got something to an upbeat outlook that keeps him committed to the older pupils are learning about clean drinking water. another thing that can not be taken for granted in indonesia, which is why so many people buy bottled water, i found that he may be samo. the doctor gives them a helpful to new i gated life. i water in bottles. i consume a lot of plastic. but if i just fill up my own bottle, i cause a lot less waste it. and then when daddy can you talk to yourself inspires me to protect the environment. just 10 percent of plastic waste in indonesia is recycled.

q and change your doctor use of patients alone, bringing up to 400 bottles a day, then they're shredded and sold the recycling facilities. people are always lined up to see doctor use of to day he's treating patients at the village elders. house free of charge for anyone with plastic waste and in the eighty's 69 years old also wants to see him because of muscle pain. while i was in the mosque for tuesday prayers, our village elders said should to like bottles that he says the doctor is coming and doing a free checkups. today he is in

the middle of his hosts living room. the doctor examines his patients and prescribes the medication. some are referred to as clinic, like 18 who will be getting a more detailed checkup at a charge of 10 bottles, and she'll get a little more privacy to my side at the same data. i can only hope that people become more careful. they appreciate the problems associated with plastic waste. so i don't think about dr. use of nuclear. i called his clinic, hiero pun, say, hot meaning healthy, hope. a name reflecting his commitment to improving the condition of the environment and his patients looking some more surprising insights and inspiring solutions from around the world . he gets to meet the people fighting climate change, then follow us on facebook. instagram antic. tell
