reputation for being a launch pads for the all skills when it will be helping this year is no different . but it will make it hard to even bigger unknowns remain like what post pandemic film distribution will look like in an age where many of us would rather stay in the watch. you releases from the comfort and safety for the role of streaming services like netflix is only expected to grow. film lovers are adamant. there's no replacement for the silver screen. somebody said that at the time of cinema had finished it. not there is nothing like cinema. she, mamma is like, when you go to the cinema, you see it's in a room with people different ages, different, back ground with different culture. it, there is no other social event, like a scene and mom. i assume festival organizes agree and say this. he has event with it's covered restrictions and social distance thing was the real proof will come
12:31 pm
when all these films are released to the massive kimbell al jazeera venice ah clare, again, i'm fully battle with the headlines on al jazeera, the f b. i has released secret documents about the hijackers involved in the 911 attacks . the 16 page report offers no evidence that the saudi government was complicit in the plot by kind of has more from washington. president biden instructed the justice department to look through the documents of the f. b. i investigation into the attacks over the next 6 months and release to the public. what they think could be made public. now this is a 1st tranche of documents to be dropped released on the f, b i's website to a short while ago, and it's 16 pages. it doesn't provide any real revolutionary material. and also it is very heavily redacted. so very difficult to understand exactly what it is saying
12:32 pm
in a news iran face, it will allow the international atomic energy agency to repair its nuclear monitoring equipment. announcement comes after what are being described as productive discussions between the head of the i. e. a. rafael, go see, and yvonne nuclear chief, 30 years after he was captured, i be maya goes when the leader of paris shining path rebel group has died at the age of $86.00, tens of thousands of people were killed in the campaign to put down his mouth insurgency and 18 year old, am i right? o'connor has won the us open. she's the 1st british woman to lift the grand slam tournament trophy in 44 years. in the 1st 10 final between 2 and see the papers she defeated. hello, teenager layla fernandez. 6463, those are the headlines they will have and use our for you after thrive. stay with us. with government support, swindling russell parliamentary elections take place in september. but as opposition leader electing around the remains in prison and to finalize
12:33 pm
a band from taking part could the due to the currently be wide open for another clean sweep pollution supporting the special coverage on al jazeera. ah, the are in the middle of the biggest energy transition to the industrial revolution. the cope in 1900 pounds, is excel rates, now move away from fossil fuel price tags of renewables, particularly solar come down. it is now possible to actually imagine a carbon neutral world to run on clean energy. but there is still a long way to guys with climate change. the market. this time for that,
12:34 pm
we must talk global greenhouse gas emissions by 2034 to have any hope of reaching net 0 by 2050, and avoiding the worst effect global warming. so the change while it is happening, needs to happen quicker in this program will be la, can't see the solutions that have a part to play. and that transformation on the all the islands in the u. k. scientists working with one of clean energy is holy grails, green, hydrogen, and in norway, a carbon neutral data center is using the force of nature to power a digital life. the global demand for energy is increasing, but burning fossil fuels is polluting and it's warming upon it with devastate impact for life on earth. while renewable energy from when sun and sea cheaper than ever intermittent, it's difficult to store. a few of the future is emerging,
12:35 pm
which could prove fundamental to de carbonite, the global economy. i've come to the orkney islands of the north coast of the u. k, where a network of scientists and researches approving the missing link in the next renewable energy revolution might be found in the simplest and most abundant elements. hydrogen, ah, the universe is about 73 percent hydrogen, mainly occurring as gas. but on earth, most hydrogen is contained in water, is b h in h to row after it's generated from water can be used as a few. it poses cause. but is an even spacecraft, but in order to extract it from water, you need electricity. when that's produced using fossil fuse, it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. in order to be known as the energy islands, scientists have discovered how to produce green hydrogen using renewable power,
12:36 pm
generated by wind farms and title turbines. it could be a game changer. ah, a meeting, a del lydia dale who's a hydrogen project manager and was brought up on orkney. just let me know if we have the sense of self. i should say we need to do thanks for our sales to talk to . so we can not really get in touch on island community. we come to shop and say, when a bought me 13 inhabited islands to see how they produce. i just kind of a joke to possession, a small, quiet island for quite a high energy for this turbine is owned by local residents and produces more energy than the local grid can handle from the excess power is used in hydrogen production. i'm no scientist, but i could see on the the train it says, explosive compress gas. and what is actually happening behind these, this fits what's going on in these boxes. so it's working energy production site,
12:37 pm
which before i refund site, what's the connection between? when did hydrogen, we have the wind turbine going round here today. when it reaches a certain meters per 2nd, we switch the energy production over to produce hydrogen. these metal boxes contain the key piece of machinery and electrolyte that generates hydrogen gas and electric current flows through the electrolyzer, causing water to break down into hydrogen and oxygen. hydrogen is collected and compressed, so the electron eyes are just takes normal drinking or use of energy from the wind turbine. it splits for each to washer and to hydrogen and oxygen. recapture the hydrogen for you for energy, an option at the moment. it's just a tough fear, so your re diverting that wind energy into hydro, right? as storing and storing the hydrogen is transported by trailer and he's all over orkney, some in domestic heating, but mostly in commercial vehicles and ferries. in the trailers,
12:38 pm
the hydrogen stored under pressure at $184.00 times its original density. that's a lot of energy. i'm meeting with james ferguson, a specialist in hydrogen storage. the highly inflammable gas is locked away in compounds and the key side. oh wow. oh gosh, so one of the big advantages of hydrogen is that is a kind of option for seasonal energy storage. and that's when we want to store a lot of energy over months. so we know that in the u. k. during the winter, it's very blue. it's very windy if we go to a wind turbine based energy system. we're going to have a lot more generated in the winter than we need. and so we can capture that and store it from the form of hydrogen, and then keep it until the summer when we don't have any wind blowing and, but we're still using energy emac was. so how is hydrogen use as a fuel where? well, james has a rather knotty way of demonstrating this with
12:39 pm
a toy car that looks about what said 20. you know what? it shows me how to produce hydrogen with many electrolytes. so we just wait a moment, we're going to generate some hydrogen. we're going to build up an electric current passing through the water forms hydrogen bubble number, some gas storage here that we didn't have before. so now i'm going to take my cable around here. and you can see now that the gases are flowing into fuel cell and then that's going to allow us to p with the fargo that is absolutely better. the principal to pose the fuel cell in james is toy car is the same when scaled up to power fleet fight council ban on the island. well, completely silent. completely silent. wow. you can sometimes hear the compressor from the hydrogen when it's when it kicks in. it, you know, here we, well,
12:40 pm
that's all you know here. david hannon is working with the council to expand its use of hydrogen technology. so for a long time, we're talking about electric vehicles as being the future of, of green transportation. what do you get a hydrogen per vehicle that you wouldn't get of an electric vehicle? this is also about 3 runs off the battery. but then the hydrogen is yours to extend the range on it. so if you're either traveling long distances, you can potentially double lot range and is another advantage. it's quick to we fuel with electrons battery, you might take from half an r t, it are the charger battery, whereas this is pretty much instantaneous. you know, talking couple of minutes normally we'd expect to see an exhaust stick that the back of eventually this. yeah. and you can see there's no source here. i mean same as any other electric vehicle. obviously we've got hydrogen, but then the sort of emissions of thought is water. paper is what's available here . yeah. right. wow. all right,
12:41 pm
really just whispered me. it's great to hear. house seems to be growing all the time. and there's that awareness of the importance of this kind of network or this ecology of energy. when you live in an archipelago. another important form of transport is very orkney. fe. company operates $74.00 different connections and they are more than $20000.00 sailings each year. with the fuel used in shipping, badly polluting i, david for david hitt who works with the f, a company in green hydrogen is part of this plan to clean up the operation. and they all happens below deck. ok. have no idea what we get into here. here we go. oh wow. both the ship what we look at in these so it just contains
12:42 pm
20 leadership fuel. what are you using? the hydrogen? hydrogen i still want to address system will run on a regular engine light steering safety systems and the lights and everything. and so when in the future, hydrogen will be used to drive all ships, operations including propulsion within 2 years that will be stopping. i'll be on the small scale chipping steps that already established fans and fairies powered by green hydrogen just part of the picture in orkney. pioneering research into how the fuel could play a global role in transport and beyond. it's happening here at the orkney research and innovation campus. one of the most important projects is in a be ation ah, in a normal year, nearly $14000000.00 flights world weight result in heavy c o. 2 emissions search
12:43 pm
for an alternative fuel urgent, one company collaborating with scientists in orkney is 0. i contact director circ a kids live so excited about their 1st 15 minute long hydrogen test plate. it was the combination of almost 3 years of research, and frankly, it was, it was for delivering the baby the, the funky was so relieved, so excited at the same time. i know that you guys are planning to fly here with one of your hydrogen per claim. o, the final flight of our 5 fire one project done. we'll be taking place from parking in there. or can you use famous for the hydrogen? can you give us a time schedule of when you think that we will see passenger planes in the skies
12:44 pm
running on hydrogen? of course there isn't it in for you, but i personally believe that 15 to 20 years they will be a law the death wind using hydrogen. and this is truly exciting. so if we can rise to the challenges of our energy economy, our future transportation needs. it means embracing a range of solutions, and i think what they're doing here orkney is proving the green hydrogen me pot. the green hydrogen is beginning to take home. it's a key part of the ease, because, well, 1st carbon neutral constant by 2050 new projects being developed into chile, saudi arabia, the united states. yes, there is still a way to go before green. hydrogen is proven to be scalable and cost effective, but it is gaining traction. and it's one of a number of current trends that harold, a world free of fossil fuels, is definitely a new power system in
12:45 pm
a new energy assistance emerg kind of bar i. whether we look at power, generation and distribution, or whether we look at transports, there is no doubt that we are in the middle of the most consequential transition in the energy space that we have seen in 100 years. it is a very exciting moment. it's also a nerve wracking moment, because we know that if we don't get to half emissions by 2030, it will be too late to do anything substantial about climate change. this is our last window of opportunity to bend the curve of emissions and get on to a did print track. and doing society would be a society that has one represent clean energy. that energy would be the central line, cheap, ubiquitous,
12:46 pm
we would be able to provide power to every single home on this planet. we currently have 800000000 people who do not have the power, meaning they're in abject poverty, by moving over to a 100 percent clean energy d centralized. we can make energy ubiquitous and we can bring. those were under the line of poverty over that line. a green society would be an economy that has smart grid that has storage available to all renewable energy generation sources. we ought to be society in which there is efficient and clean transport. passenger vehicles would offer transport as a service, not being a possession of any individual and heavy truck would be using clean field.
12:47 pm
and finally, would be clean wyatt because we would have to put the internal combustion engine into them. and it would be organized into smaller communities, around food and energy at the beginning of the most just science the decade in the history of human kind. it will all of us to understand that this has been challenging and will continue to be challenging. but we can do that. we can address climate change in a timely fashion. we can avert the worst just after the climate change, and in so doing, we can bring a much better quality of life for all citizens of this planet. and certainly to the ecosystem upon which we depend, ah, in people across the planet,
12:48 pm
spending an increasing amount of time on line from work meetings and catching up with friends to movie streaming and shopping. we are now more reliant than ever on platforms which generate and store data. but this data doesn't just vanish into thin air. it comes at a very real environmental cost. everything we do on line passes through data centers which consume huge amounts of entity and emit nearly as much c o 2 as the airline industry. i'm in no way to see how one center is honda thing. the energy of these fuel was to stole our digital information without a heavy carpet footprint. this is the famous tourist attraction and photo hotspot focused on and then no way it draws hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. i'm curious to find out what people know about the data, all these photos generate. so when you take a selfie, it land somewhere,
12:49 pm
have you ever imagined where that could be? i think the 1st time i would imagine if you're asking, i haven't been thinking about it. no, i have no idea. i send it to google. i get in the cloud in the cloud and do you know what the cloud is? storage place. ah, night myself, most people only have vague ideas of where all our data has kept. i've come to university of savannah to meet an expert on data storage and find out where ourselves, he's end up. the photo is restored in the memory of their phone and then if you share the photo while you want to back up the photo into the cloud, it will end up in some data center remotely could be in europe. it could be also in a remote fi across the atlantic and both they have accumulated in those data center
12:50 pm
and those walls for us to have a big big data center. so the problem for sustainability, how long or how much data we have to store them in recent years, many of us have been moving into the digital realm and even more so under the corporate 19 pandemic year for the study. so our online habits take a heavy toll on the environment. a typical search which passes through data centers processing and storing information requires as much energy as illuminating a 60 what light bulb for 17 seconds. that doesn't sound like much until you realize google alone processes 3500000000 searches a day. around one percent of electricity globally is consumed by data centers, many of which provide remote storage facilities or what is also known as the cloud
12:51 pm
is estimated that in 10 years is our data network grows. almost 7 percent of all electricity will be used just to power and qu huge service, preserving everything from billions of family photos to big data on face travel. so where and how you stole your data can make all the difference. and no way is ahead of the game on this since it's powered nearly a 100 percent by renewable energy, most of which comes from hydropower. i'm on my way to benefit an island. i've had to have an old military storage, but instead of starting to p wall hits, they now stole billions of information from all over the world. the underground green mountain data center of which opened in 2013 is carbon neutral. it's run on hydropower from water rest of us on the mountains. so question nice to meet you. nice to meet you as well. ah. oh
12:52 pm
wow. it's. it's like being in a james bond film. i can see that this is very secure. this is very secure. wow. thank you, though, this is how it looks when we took over there to fight here is empty space, but it will not be empty forever. as soon as we grow, this will be a data center as well. so know where and what people refer to as the cloud. this is where our customers are running their server director equipment . so what kind of information is on here? it could be anything from storage, your picture to national critical infrastructure. if you'd be kid at home doing
12:53 pm
their lecture online, so many people when they think about the clouds, they think out in the open as they're saying, white and fluffy. but actually the cloud is ms tally and it's black and it's noisy, it's black and it's noisy, and it consumes a lot of power and generates a lot of heath to see how the center manages this. it's a quick write down the corridor. oh. where in the future road, this is where all the green energy flows through into the data. all. so this is basically the giant engine of this data center. the consumption in this data center with all the different data holes at consumes the power equal to about 20000 household. while this may seem a lot, some of the biggest data centers consume as much power as the city of
12:54 pm
a 1000000 people every click. you do on your device, generate at humidity, inside a data center summer. if it's in norway, it's green and renewable. as well, sony using green energy. this data center is reducing its impact on the environment by cooling its service using cold water from the nearby deep salt water inlet of yard. so while most data centers youth around 40 percent of the energy to cool servers, which would otherwise reach a 100 degrees celsius in minutes, this data center get to cooling free from nature. so this is where we're producing the cold water use to cool the cloud, a 5 ammonia cold sea water from the fuel into the basin next to the data center. this water which is constantly 8 degrees celsius, is then pumped up through the heat exchanger cooling down,
12:55 pm
separate water pipes that circulate through the data center. the warmed up feeble to then exits back into the fjord at around 20 degrees celsius. where'd quickly cool down again? the green mountain data center no way is unique because of the fuel cooling the servers. and the way in which they've repurposed an old site. but all over scandinavia tick giants like facebook, google and microsoft are building huge data centers running on hydro and wind power . in fact, investment in nordic data centers is set to double by 2025. well, thank you or be both fully electric. i'm meeting theory kelvin, a local matri ologist in green investor who's confident this trend will continue. so this is where the hydropower is. yes, the over the flu, the hydro station, it's actually the world's longest $4444.00 step over a 100 there. so be careful though. i can see that it's old from this old train here
12:56 pm
. here you see the old pipe coming down from the mountain. so all the water's just flowing high speed in the pi, creating electricity when they hit the turbine. so you have to use what nature gives us. so in norway we have incredible rain or the concrete have sun. yeah, we also have wind, but here it's rain that gives us the electricity. scandinavia will be important to the world's data storage. i think scandinavia will be very important for future data storage. it's a cold climate if you can use the cold fjords to cool down the data center. we have the hydro poll were to run data centers. however, i think we also need to be even more responsible and take action that each one of us. and for instance, if we are talking on both data storage,
12:57 pm
we need to be concerned about how many celsius we need to take home. many e mail, some snaps and text message. we need to send the me though, we can't see it. our use of digital devices has an impact on the world around us. this is only fit to grow. nearly 60 percent of the wealth population is already online and around $1000000.00 new uses sign up each day. as our reliance and data expand, we need to find greenway to manage it. here in no way, i've seen how this can be done. and i think we really need to learn from examples like this and make sure that we balance our modern lives with what the planet can sustain. ah, ah, which so many of us stuck a time during the pans that make it perhaps hard to see that the world really has been given a golden opportunity for green recovery commitments are happening all over the
12:58 pm
place. as nations businesses, cities, investors pledge 0 call, been targeted by 2015, but right now, 20 per year. that's just under a decade to determine the future of the planet around the world who already think glimpses the green society could be hours last year, renewables, over to fossil fuel. that's the main source of electricity in europe, a new case in australia to the solar panels on rooftops, one in for hime, the north was that solar complex and morocco 7, it's 1st phase, and it's already producing enough energy to power the city of my ra, cash twice over 60 percent of month because cells and no way are electric. diesel cars will be banned there in 2025. the solutions are all ready that they need to go global. make a real difference, ought to have shown that the clean, green and prosperous future. ah,
12:59 pm
russellville, and southern england, where 2 farmers turn safari park, pioneers of fits the attractive nature in the driving seat. i was just absolutely astonishing the life of poor back even the very 1st summer and i miguel sophie, i cynthia when one by your company revolutionizing the system you think plans and artificial intelligence. you're inside, you have, you have fries on al jazeera. i care about helping us engages with the rest of the world. we're really interested in taking you into a play. you might not visit otherwise. i feel as if you were there in part 2 of a special investigation. one 0 one east visits western. this is only youth detention center and travels to the remote out town where many of the indigenous
1:00 pm
inmates come from now to 0. ah, me. this is al jazeera. ah, hello there, i missed the hey and this is a new line from our headquarters here in durham coming up in the next 60 minutes. iran eases restrictions imposed on international nuclear inspectors following crucial talks and tear on the f. b. i releases the 1st decline.
