12:26 pm
shown king makers fall left candidates, hasn't himself endorsed micro though. he's told support is that should not be a single vote for marine lieutenant macro also wants to top the you vote 31 percent of 18. 24 year old voted for john shown to the north of paris. saint anthony is one of the most deprived areas of france here. micro struggles to shake off his image as president of the rich. but the far right is even more popular. yeah, but there is no other choice. i don't see myself voting from a healer pen because he doesn't reflect my principal. so i'd rather be shot by my call than martin and whatnot. but, but i will work from a chronic time. i don't like what he does, but i'll be voting from a chrome as a vote against la pin. i think micron has already done one term, and i think to allow, continue to will be more advantages. the latest polls suggest emanuel micron will

12:28 pm
in an apartment complex for elderly, low income residents, many of whom have complained of the smell for years. did you ever smell the gas? yeah, but alice smelled it more than i did, but it was definite. it didn't was often now a team from the non profit, well done. foundation is hard at work plugging the leaky well for good. when we're done and we're walking off of the product that we've stopped the emission of 5000 cubic feet of gas per day. you know, you start to multiply that by, by weeks and months in decades. it's very significant. abandoned wells are a huge problem by government estimates. there are more than 2000000 of them in the u. s. and possibly many more who's locations are no longer known by some estimates . they admit more than $7000000.00 metric tons of greenhouse gases per year. that's
12:29 pm
the equivalent of burning 30000000 leaders of petrol. this is kind of low hanging fruit if you would. so this is an area that we can take immediate action. so far, curtis shocks, nonprofit organization is plugged 16 abandoned wells in 4 states. methane is such a, an incredibly harmful greenhouse gas. it is 80 times as destructive as seo to. and so if you want to have an immediate impact, you just stop it. many of the wells that well done has plug are in open fields. the cleveland well project is different. we have elderly folks who live right around it . that's a tricky location to rig up on. it's a tricky location to get into. the expert crew applies a seal to the outflow pipe and wells it's shut. next they'll drill down to clear debris and dirt out of the pipe, extending far below the surface. in the final step,
12:30 pm
the crew will fill the well with a firstly, formulated kind of the men feeling up forever and that one well down to 1000000 to go for shot each plugged well is a triumph. how do you climb out? and one step at a time. that's really the focus is then that way it becomes something that we can really get our hands around and celebrate victory for the crew, the community, and for the planet. rob reynolds, al jazeera, cleveland ohio. ah, hello, we're going to headlines on al jazeera versus defense ministry, says ukrainian treatment equipment bases are among 50 a targets here overnight. and 42 villages haven't seen in the self proclaimed and rushing back. don't yet to break away region. charles stratford spent the night at a military field hospital that's treating.
