this week on the little stories. well trilogies could soon be underwater. berlin's all up and go our news for you see the action. but we start in russia where a new highway used to be built through an area in the south of moscow the problem during the soviet era radioactive waste was dumped here locals around environmentalists are sounding the alarm dangerous levels of radiation that's what nuclear physicist andrea shut off his radiation counter tells him every time here moscow's pauli metals factory started dumping nuclear waste on this scale in the 1940 s. and fifty's when the area in the south of moscow wasn't yet part of the city so far the radioactive material is contained under

a layer of clay but the activist insists that the plant highway could cut straight through the nuclear waste collection bites they might start digging up the soil and moving it around without taking into account what is contaminated it will be released into the atmosphere and anyone who prays that song will get radioactive nuclei into their lungs. he has been giving informal tours of the spot to journalists and locals. local residents like are worried about what could end up in the river and in their long. if you know that this nuclear waste is here but they aren't going to touch it then it's not to worrying but knowing that they're going to build a right here and all this waste could slip down the hill that's really scary. says locals have always known about the nuclear waste in their neighborhood the site is partially closed off but the riverside nearby is popular with the residents. of

view from above shows just how urban the area is the nuclear waste site is slotted between a park and moscow's main river the mosque now the plan is to build a fly over parallel to the railway bridge here construction is slated to begin later this year the city says the new road will ease traffic in moscow and they insist that construction is safe and they get the people to move them which the soil will not be disturbed. by support for the flyover will be built here its foundations will be up to 5 metres below the surface we've carried out studies of the sort of that depth and there were no radiation measurements above the norm that on the road one touch the ground here. could put people in the area don't believe the author already they recently held a protest against the highway which people here see as the latest sign their government just doesn't care about the signs here death and warn of a 2nd term noble catastrophe. on their lives in the high rise apartments across

from the plant construction she grew up here and has been fighting the highway since march. from my point of view they're committing a crime against the residents who live here i don't know whose interests are driving them but they are in no way considering our interests. over here. the frustration here is palpable but the other protesters want to keep fighting with petitions and protests to make sure their homes and their city stay safe. our next story takes us to the u.k. where residents of the world's coastal village of sound world are feeling the effects of climate change the sea is coming ever closer now residents are being told they don't have to leave their homes. mike russell has the sea right on his doorstep he's a dedicated angler who's lived on the coast of wales for over 40 years. right now

the irish sea is bright and shiny but the people here have seen their share of storm surges. my house stands right behind this dike it's held firm against wind and tide so far. it's hard to realize that. with rising sea levels all this could be gone. they say in as little as 50 years it's hard to believe. they're born is a seaside village of about a 1000 people and say the experts doomed by climate change several 1000000 pounds have gone into building dams and dikes to protect the houses from the sea. but now the welsh authorities are throwing in the towel and calling on the villages to find new homes. when measuring the sea levels in the area

across the north wales coast i'm way off finding evidence the sea levels are rising that reality and so before any cuts are strophe happens before anything big happens we really really need to be making sure that people are aware of those risks and that we're talking to them and involving them in the solutions. but what solutions can there possibly be mike and his partner see their lives their home and lots of money at stake quite amazing all the situations where it's not a symbol for them as pensioners to buy a new house elsewhere they feel that the state has left them on their own 25 years in the future the fact is that they have no answers for us they can't tell us where to go to move us they can't tell us when they're going to move us there is no financial support no compensation or tool and the sting in the tail to the us is if the insist that everybody moves out. they would expect like

a lighter pay for the demolishment arts his hopes. it's true that they're born won't be the only town to face imminent danger in coming years. over 30 communities in wales a dealing with erosion and flooding from rising seas. and infrastructure such as rail and power lines and roads are also at risk climate experts say it's a massive financial time bomb for britain's coasts i the residents of fairborn complain that everyone simply passing the buck it's mike and angela say the prospect of a forced evacuation is always hanging over their heads they're just hoping they can stay in their current house as long as they possibly can. cambodia is drowning in plastic waste welcome bowden's themselves are responsible for much of it dozens of illegal containers filled with plastic waste from overseas were recently discovered there the trash will not be sent back to where it came

from. the water in this stream can hardly move it's stuffed full of plastic and it isn't an isolated case. plastic piles up on phnom penh streets in fact cambodia's capital city is littered with plastic waste. the plastic tide starts to rise at 5 am in the street markets it's the packaging of choice for these traders and it spreads across the city as their goods and sold and distributed discarded plastic is simply swept to one side and whatever is left there just days there. was. the market traders all used plastic because it's best fish and vegetable merchants use plastic because it protects their goods from rain and damage. with

a population of 5000000 phnom penh accumulates 3000 tons of garbage every day waste disposal workers are simply overwhelmed by the amount. and because there is no kind of rubbish separation it's all mixed up gangs of scavengers go through the waste at night to find any recyclable plastic waste. in cambodia only about 20 percent of plastic waste is recycled the rest ends up in landfill or strewn around the countryside. but that's not all $83.00 sea containers full of plastic waste have been found at the port of. they were there for months without being picked up so customs opened them to find that they were full of illegally imported plastic waste from the usa and canada customs of dorothy's want to take action against the perpetrators it could be garbage.

black berry hatch be dug up by a bulldozer but the glutes are very upset. and the limbs would be losing his quality of life. i don't know what will do them a moment wisely can only. do few other allotment colonies are also slated for destruction land is limited in the growing german capital which is why the city cease no other option than to sacrifice some of the green spaces. i get the mission because we don't want to make life difficult for allotment gardeners but we'll need to repurpose some of them in the coming years because berlin is a growing city that needs space for schools daycare centers and sports grounds kind of few allotment gardens about one percent will indeed have to make way for those plans in the years ahead for. the clute intend to fight for their gardens so

they have joined forces with their neighbors in the colony. they agree that schools are important but feel they should not necessarily be built here. the allotment garden colony has already been squeezed to make way for apartment buildings once before now it could completely disappear the end of a 102 year old green oasis. mash. the quiet melody rizzo's michael white of the mood. ready and installed repeat resonate within its soul. the mind and the music. beethoven 1st bond 2019
