sure needs to be. discovered. substraction documentary to. moving from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources the goal is clear but the way to get there is less. buying gas production relies on monocultures that are bad for biodiversity and insects wind pots are noisy and a danger to birds how can we generate true cooling energy that all coming up.

well come to you tomorrow today the science show on d w. 'd at the risk of sounding corny i'd say today's show is about me not as food for people or animals but feel to generate electricity. this share of energy from renewable sources is growing every given especially in asia. europe and north america. most of the energy is produced from biomass from something like me. but the other sources aren't doing so badly either. however i've come under a lot of criticism recently while you see for yourself. this field is lush and green but in a way. it's a desert

a desert of corn planted to produce biofuel fields like this cover more than a 1000000 hectares in germany corn provides hardly any food for insect biologists say that's one reason for massive insect die offs. one committed by night you can generate biodiversity with a single type of plant a monoculture so you need to sow a range of different plants to get a range of insects it just doesn't work with corn it was the hope and. the idea is to replace the corn with plants that can also be used to produce biofuel and provide food for insects at the same time. up to 30 different species should begin flowering here soon. so far only come a mile is visible. to see look at the state of that disgusting even though it's lost something nicely satisfied it has all wrong we want to have a field of flowering prairie shrubs here we need biomass this senseless camel mile

has reached just 70 centimeters in height that's not enough mass we should have some flowers here now perennial sunflowers this tall that's the plant plunker's and has been like this for years but this year awful. it's a failure come a mile produces hardly any energy and offers very little nutrition for insects. but scientists want to examine the field more closely perhaps the sunflowers have germinated underneath to come a mile. a walkable strip is cleared so that they can see what plants they have here . insect traps are set up to check whether more bugs are being drawn to the field. with a measuring stick and case report forms they set to work looking for anything that might be growing underneath the ramp and come a mile in that area. cornelia might see record. the amount and height of each

flower species have not been found or looking for the various species that were sown here and the main component of the mixture right now is the heavy on those maximillian the perennial sunflower that's here in its 3rd year i missed. that in your state it's taken a good foothold here half there's a caterpillar that's not open. even if such perennial shrubs provide food for insects that indigenous to north america and asia critics fear they might crowd out native species. just and i misspelled i mean did you get off on those are actually claimed that have never been investigated there are assumptions but do you have to consider that we are here in germany a land of immigration so we have a level of biodiversity which since the ice age has yet to fully recover to what it was before the icing. we're trying to show that our frantically accept these wild species from foreign lands just as much as the indigenous species and interestingly

we discovered that while beings in particular are very goes and buys food habits you see all sense and. martinis connie included elease is looking at whether beings and other insects can really feed on the pollen of non-indigenous flowering shrubs for example with cylinders like bees in which wild bees build their nests. in the biologists then drive to another field of non-indigenous flowering shrubs. they see right away that it's not overgrown with come a mile and boasts many more types of plants they're not fully grown yet and most aren't in flower. shop i'm not on until we have 7 here and this is siberian mother wart illegal neurosis japonica in full bloom no. the field has more flowering shrubs and more bugs. you can also find very

plains in the field it's really clean the plants have space around them so they can establish themselves it's a real success there's enough light getting through to the soil so the things species can develop well the field is still emerging and i can see there's another vase and we sit here as a young ross and weed and here's a hollyhock all of that goodness if you see if your mouth you could mistake was that all of. the scientists plan seems to be working here even though the plants are not yet in full bloom there are a lot of insects in the field will also produce a lot of biomass later for generating energy. but the yield will never be as high as it is with corn 50 to 60 percent at most that's a loss for the pharma. navy units of you know i'm not satisfied on the from a but from our team is program supporting those so it's ok. but farmers would plant

more of this if they were supported by the government if there was a funding program to make up for the shortfall i normally have $45.00 to $50.00 tonnes of corn in this field it's good soil but with this stuff so to speak i need to be compensated to make a profit. lower yields but increased biodiversity protecting species and agriculture can go together even if the profits are lower but the idea here is that losses can be minimised if farmers keep growing corn but also plant flowering shrubs in between so that the profitable corn is mixed with flowering perennials that benefit insects. of course will fall. the same plants every year. but there's a big downside to that according to a study from the university monoculture has destroyed just as many species as

climate. an apparent paradox and crops often grown as monoculture is intended to counteract global warming well a mix of energy crops help to restore insect but others are. biologist ingrid has put beehives in this field to see of the insects are feeding on the flowers. although the field is the bees habitat the scientists want to confirm they also gather pollen here. only to be sure the pollen comes from this field. every year we have to make certain. this could be something in the field that the bees haven't collected from and that would be important information for us to. think of it uses a little trick to. find out where the pollen comes from 1st she calms the bees with a bit of smoke. then she uses

a grid to block the entrance to the hive. this allows her to gather the pollen that collects on the bees hind legs in their orange colored sacks which she then strips off to examine later. if the bees want to get into the honeycombs in the hive they have to crawl through the grid. the grid openings are so narrow that the insects can just squeeze through but the pollen on their hind legs sticks to it the samples show how the pollen differs depending on which plant it came from. after an hour the 1st batch is ready for examination. as missions out it's very likely that a lot of this pollen comes from the field but we really have to look carefully under the microscope and confirm that before we know for sure. but what we can see from this pollen is that the bees are using many different plants for their nourishment. in contrast to the monoculture of corn there's more than one flowering

perceives in here because one of the 30 or so plant species in the field is always in bloom that means the bees and other insects have food from spring right through to autumn. what about other creatures can they also find a habitat here after all many species of birds live on insects. the camera which automatically takes pictures when it detects movement should tell us. in just a few weeks this photographic trap captures several animals including field hamsters birds and hares. it seems that one species attracts the next. and the fact that the bees are making a lot of honey shows that they're thriving in this environment.

honey much of time and it makes me so happy to see a healthy colony like this one for us well taken care of adequately supplied with next year and paul and the brood nest this beautiful it's great fun. obviously this test field with its energy plants provides food for the insects. but what about the yield for humans. a field cultivated by a farmer is now in full bloom. my god so i might go hunt so much buzzing over there quite a few beehives in there there are a couple 100000 bees out here going to show me one of the cats crazy. sure to be a full flowers amazing. many of the high yielding perennials are not yet fully grown to some degree mars are going to grow another 50 centimeters right here we

have. our yellow sweet clover that's not yet fully grown you can see it here it's spreading its shoots it should grow another 3040 centimeters so there is plenty of biomass in there and that's exactly what we want we want mats for the biofuel companies and we also need lots of flowers for the insects and that's exactly what we have here. an impressive sight an abundance of blossoms on a cultivated field. it's time for the harvest biologist carnelian martini and farmer klaus gas and i have come to see the results. looking good. he wants to be compensated for the reduced yield but he also knows that these species rich fields offer an opportunity for farmers and they prove that

agriculture and biodiversity can work hand in hand. electricity from renewable sources has a weakness the energy supply can fluctuate sometimes renewables provide more electricity sometimes less to the grid. excess power could be stored in electric vehicles they're not in use all of the time. they are rechargeable lithium ion batteries can store a lot of energy relative to their weight but extracting lithium comes with its own problems. this is how lithium is often found in nature as a mineral in hard rock generally in combination with other elements. that's because a lithium atom has a loosely bound electron that it easily give so. to form compounds and rock like this it is hard to extract. but in south america there are deposits where it is

much more accessible more than half the world's known reserves are there under the crust of the salt flat is of brine rich in the v.m. salts when the briny water is pumped up and left to evaporate the residue contains among other things lots of lithium. various chemicals some of them toxic are used to separate out the lithium. what's more as the brine is removed from the salt flats groundwater from the own ready to extremely dry to rain takes its place to get enough lithium for the battery of just one midsize car 12000 liters of water are needed if they extract such vast amounts of water so quickly and we know that's a lot of water then in the next 5 or 6 years this area will turn into a real desert it won't just destroy farming and livestock breeding it will make

human life here impossible. a high price to pay for electro mobility. extracted now undergoes further processing it's the most important part of a rechargeable battery the battery cells are mainly produced in asia about 6 kilograms of lithium are needed for a midsize electric car. this is how the lithium performs on the road. in the battery it provides power by letting its electron migrate from the antidote to the cathode. and back again during recharging. at some point the lithium is used up and the battery becomes too weak to run a car. but it 80 percent. capacity a lithium battery can still store electricity from renewable energy and to be ready

to use when the sun isn't shining and there is no wind. but every rechargeable battery down i eventually and it's put to rest. not quite the batteries can be recycled but a lot of energy and chemicals are needed to revive them. right now it's hardly worth the trouble since the price of new lithium from south america is so low. is a huge demand for batteries. in 2019 more than 3000000000 smartphones with. cell phones with an internet connection great for accessing info from all over the globe. and they can be a big help to people in remote areas for example

a vegetable. things have turned gloomy in recent days from into more. he lives in a village in south central bangladesh embarrass shall division. he's a tenant farmer and has been doing well. the soil is fertile and describes have been abundant. he is one of 80000 tenant farmers in the district who grow mainly rice and vegetables. but a new problem is just cropped up. as plants have been hit by a disease he can't identify.

some of their guest is ahead to get this plant has dried up in with their nest egg i think i'm going to what they want 1st the tops of us talks right and then lower down as well you know. we've never seen a disease like this before. the plants and i within a week but at that time that next up if they get that means we could be facing huge losses. other farmers in his village owned their own land and are more prosperous. zakir hussain is one of them he went to school when he was young and he has a smartphone meant to more tells him about his problem. farmers here have heard that they can get advice from experts via a smartphone app. or sort of the. secular sign takes

a photo of the diseased plant writes a brief account of the problem and posts them to for sholay and based online service offering free advice to farmers it's run by a c.i. agribusinesses a unit of the conglomerate a.c.i. . so visited us that we used to go to the local government agriculture department or other people who could help when we have problems now if you have a smartphone you can find many solutions via an app. for surely is based in the capital dhaka. he found our alina processes queries received from farmers across the country she's already received about 100 queries today she communicates with the farmers but the information she provides comes from experts sunbeam raman runs the geographical information system and remote sensing unit of a.c.i.

the technology enables farmers to monitor the health of their crops and to protect them by analyzing and predicting threats for surely doesn't just respond to specific queries but also makes a lot of general information available on that sap. the ones that they commence to buy every 12 days we analyze the backscatter values we get from the sentinel one satellite for crop growth and feed the data into our map yes there it will then look at the only thing pest and disease control methods we try to figure out what kinds of diseases might affect crops within the next 48 hours. and in which particular stage of growth and put all this information in our app information. shitter. for sholay is an intelligent decision support system. a.c.i. has invested a lot in its development. farmers don't pay for the service but at the

same time the company using sales of its agricultural products soar. it has recruited staff to go out into the fields and teach farmers about the. local government officials are also involved they appreciate how this software can enhance communication among farmers experts and the authorities. is hoping to get a reply to his query later the same day so that he can start to tackle the disease killing his plants for him and many farmers like him the new digital technology could mean the difference between ruin and a brighter future. in the future digital technologies are expected to. much of which may be

generated by wind power. but critics say. this was invented fountain solution. this is a conventional wind turbine and this could be the wind turbine of tomorrow the 3 rotor blades rotate around a vertical axis so far no one's managed to produce electricity with a 100 meter high vertical axis wind turbine but inventor patrick least here believes he and his team have made a breakthrough. fixture spent more than 6 years working on the project as a personal hobby after another 6 years collaborating with scientists he managed to produce a prototype. i'm excited we've been working on this for a while it's a major component and now we'll see it for the 1st time when it comes out of the mold of the home. and this is the moment of truth in the hangar near zurich

the part measuring 27 meters in length and weighing 2 tons is the 1st section of a rotor blade for a test in the field made of fiberglass and resin it was bonded and pressed into a gigantic mold. and it's coming along. so cool. his vertical axis wind turbine has a certification a $105.00 metre tall tower is already standing waiting for it in western germany the turbine will be mounted on top for the inventor to demonstrate its advantages especially for the environment just because it's compatible with wildlife in the air bats will fly around it and birds can recognise it so there aren't any bird strikes if this one very important feature is that it's much quieter than conventional wind turbines. even at close range you don't hear anything it's like

a tower that turn slowly and it can be used in many different places where conventional wind turbines can't be. back in 2011 at dubin door of the airport near zurich after the special trial on the runway patrick plaister could no longer keep his vertical wind turbine a secret. a 2nd test in 2012 in the swiss town of core was sobering the turbine with 12 blades that tracked the wind didn't produce enough power like many before him face to face failure especially after a storm knocked the turbine off kilter. just 10 days after it was installed was a huge shock. it was weird to be woken up on a saturday morning by the release of the board it's a quick. 8 years and many lab tests later patrick later and his team were able to solve the problem of the rotor blades. today the blade still adjusts to the wind

but they're powered by 3 motors it's the heart of the invention. to fuel the motor ensures that the position of the rotor blade is always optimized so that the stream of air on the blade doesn't break down and the blades pull the entire road or even lead in the same direction. because that way they turn very slowly and quietly which allows us to enlarge the system. picture wants to get his prototype on the market he has projects in the planning phase in asia and the us and a lot depends on their success there's already 18000000 euros worth of venture capital invested in this design. bad mix of often if you don't take risks you won't reap the rewards of my entire life i wanted to be a pioneer because my parents always said i should do something pioneering software i always search for things that no one had done before. from that forth is when you really do experience tilting at windmills 1st hand sometimes you don't feel like

going through with it but moments like this make up for everything well. there's no turning back now for patrick easter his 1st vertical axis wind power system is now complete and about to go into operation. that's all from tomorrow today for this week. the most science from ice next time until then stay healthy steak areas.

they're upset ship for spectacular pictures. it's their passion for nature. it's their complete devotion that makes them the best wildlife photographer in the world.

this name. and traumatic. confrontational. and stirring. play 5 adventurers. one goal of. the preservation of our planet. is not just an issue of pardon trees and so you have as a 4th. exhaust that's in danger of surat awesome. place for such starts november 6th on g.w. . oh and a slew of. stuff a week. and this exciting i mean the bathtub was very close. to.

the us and i had an album the 1st but i had a bunch of us. it was the last thank you. cut. out of the hearing as sally and warner. l.s.m. the lead and i look. i will say a moment that the megadeth. or in the deal my eye was. full of warming and cattle almost that dallal know what i do what i am. what i am and was this shit out that.

this is do we lose lives. girl and another ceasefire shattered in the caucasus communities torn apart as our media and i was about john blaming each other for more fighting over the disputed region. so we can truce meant to put an end to 3 weeks of escalating violence which has killed hundreds of people we'll get more from our correspondent on the ground am to

a bridge when the after it's on lunch was here libya were turned to the left exit polls indicate a landslide victory for socialist candidate luis r.c. he's expected to win the presidency without the need for one of those. thank you so much for your company everyone we begin this broadcast with the unraveling of a much anticipated truce new clashes erupted between our media and azerbaijan despite a humanitarian ceasefire agreed a late saturday in the disputed region of nagorno-karabakh both sides accusing the other of violating the agreement just hours after it came into force it was a 2nd attempt at an arm status in a week where hundreds have died and thousands have been displaced since fighting

flare there last month. far from the front line but not far enough a makeshift shrine in a residential district of ganja. a community torn apart. although she normally if they were my friends and close acquaintances you can grasp just how much my heart is bleeding. at least 13 people died here in azerbaijan 2nd biggest city on saturday baku accuses armenia of launching the attack. death and despair in the going to care about to a cease fire announced by the 2 sides after saturday's deadly attack in ganja prove short lived and fighting resumed soon afterwards the disputed region has been controlled by separatist ethnic armenians since 1994 but it remains an

internationally recognized part of azerbaijan. armenia denies any involvement in the ganja or attack and accuses backer of continuing to shell heavily populated areas and cite nagorno-karabakh. this man and schuster says these are a very rockets phillis that we are respecting the ceasefire but are the as a by johnnie's respecting it where is the ceasefire don't look they're firing the ship is full of these rockets this is prohibited ammunition. as tensions between azerbaijan and armenia escalate fears are growing that russia and turkey could be drawn into a regional war. well let's take you now to do you have a user who is in ganja right now that everything that we just featured in our reports. first of all another stillborn a truce what went wrong. well

amelia and azerbaijan are blaming each other for breaching the latest cease fire agreement the fighting continues from what we understand there are 3 fronts along the line of contact between the 2 countries right now the heaviest clashes are taking place east and south of nucor no occur i'm in gunja right now as a by john 2nd largest city dozens of kilometers away from new cool new but a missile struck an leveled several residential homes homes in this residential area on a sadder day what you can see there behind me used to be 2 story buildings but as you can see they have been reduced to rubble at least 13 people were killed including children many wounded officials tell us here and this all comes while

both ameena and azerbaijan dismiss deliberately targeting civilian areas but as we see residential areas like this one have come under increasing shelling in the past days and weeks and it's civilians here who are paying a very heavy price for this rule. this conflict has been going on for many decades and we saw the people there caught in the crossfire that you featured in your report house fearful are they that a full fledged war is about to happen anytime now. well people we talked to here in gunja who have lived in this area or who know people who were killed or are visibly still in shock there is a lot of pain and grief but there is also a lot of anger instead of fear rather i have to say many people here tell us that

they blame the armenian military for deliberately targeting civilians and they expect their government to retaliate to take revenge i just met one young man who says he voluntarily signed up to the army to go to the front line and he is happy to go there to join the war when they ask him to do so now you have to take into consideration the history of this conflict decades of mutual distrust between the 2 countries and many people here in azerbaijan tell me that they think this piece of land and the surrounding areas are rightfully theirs and this is the moment in history to retake this piece of land so it's rather determination and anger then fear that i can sense here when talking to people. on there reporting for you from us of i john now to the latest on the covert crisis more than

40000000 people are believed to have contracted the corona virus across the world europe is bracing for the winter months ahead several countries are already taking extra measures in a bit to slow down another relentless surge in cases of covert 90 they include belgium where the authorities say the health situation there is much worse than at the beginning of the pandemic bars and restaurants have an order to close there for a month as of tonight while in italy the government has imposed a 9 o'clock curfew on gatherings in public squares italy was the 1st country to be hit hard by the virus in europe and here in germany which had comparatively few cases of coronavirus earlier this year a debate is now taking place on how to deal with the 2nd wave. this landscape in other years makes headlines as one of germany's most picturesque locations but in 2020 it makes headlines for being home to the latest district

that's going into lockdown after a particularly high kovac 900 numbers were recorded that germany has been seeing record numbers of new cases in the last few days more than 7000 a day the 2nd wave is well underway the various premium are considered a warns against losing control of the virus he wants more drastic measures must soon be compulsory nationwide in risk areas and he wants more power to be transferred to berlin an unusual position for a state prime minister yaar. i'm a firm believer in federalism but i believe that we're beginning to see the limits of federalism we have to consider transferring more power currently held by the regions to the central government so that we have a uniform framework because this is where germany's anti corona measures are decided at berlin's chancellery in regular summits between chancellor merkel and

the 16 heads of the country's regions but the results of the last summit have had a short shelf life some measures were overturned by courts only a few days later a berlin court for instance suspended a planned curfew for pubs and restaurants. and many say this emergency format should be abolished altogether. because it was the current situation is no longer acceptable the chancellor and the heads of regions decide to massively curb our freedoms and they negotiate behind closed doors the laws of our country say that this job is done by parliament element. critics believe anglo machall is losing control of the situation she results to have video podcast germans to help flatten the curve. we must do everything we can to stop the virus from spreading uncontrollably that every day counts hark the virus for its part is literally tightening its grip on german politicians president steinmeyer remains in

quarantine after one of his bodyguards tested positive and afternoon lurch by the corona tracing up the german minister for labor hubertus heil has decided to self quarantine and is now working from home. let's bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. iran has recorded its worst day for corona virus deaths with 337 fatalities confirmed on monday there are now more than half a 1000000 confirmed cases in a lot of the country's health ministry says the current situation is due to fewer people wearing face masks and more people engaging in high risk social behaviors. police in france have searched dozens of homes belonging to suspected islamic militants the raids are linked to last week's beheading of a teacher and parents he had used her tombs of the muslim prophet muhammad in a less than about freedom of expression police shot the alleged perpetrator.

votes being counted in bolivia's presidential election but exit polling suggests that leftist candidates the worst arcee as what libya was deeply divided ahead of the election that pitted arcee and his nearest political rival carlos nesa r c is a close ally of the former bolivian president evo morales who stepped down last year and fled into exile after claiming victory in a disputed election that was then an old. art or we can take you now to la paz say bolivia you 100 i mean it as is standing by for you you know if the are sees a victory in this election it does indeed gets a rubber stamp what would it mean for the country. victoria flues are saying this election would mean and the spectacular coming back

off around this party to the bar where we have to remember just a year ago we were in the same city and there were the hundreds of thousands of people in the streets protesting against them or allison asking for peace resignation and one here a little later he says his party is suddenly again in the power so that is incredible and mr house already recognized the results so wait in just for the official announcement of the electronic court it's just a formality there are some supporters of flues are still here in front of his headquarters. this is like a party for them and we just saw this r.c. coming in to his headquarters so the victorious it's almost official actually a very a remarkable comeback by the left in bolivia you know what are the most urgent pressing issues facing the people of libya. there are 2 main change challenges for the new president one of them is the economy

because of the pandemic bolivia has been shaken to the roots on 30 percent of unemployment and think the economy of this country has decreased 7 percent in this year so economy's going to be the big challenge for him but also to reunite this country believe historically has has been divided and during the 40 years on the straight and often what is this division was rainforest so that is also a huge challenge for most of the new president and you had of course the question on everybody's mind thus does this victory potential victory mark the return of mr abel morales. yeah even more of this is very popular in this country but also very controversial so i don't know how close these are sad ones to govern with able morale is especially because right now

he has many many investigations against him because of corruption for example even like a soft pedal feel or so that's a good question of how close he wants to to to govern maybe he's going to have a little bit of this dance especially at the beginning all right i've got 30 seconds left i mean what does this mean for the region. is the coming back of the left wing in latin america we have seen in the last few years hard left wing have been many countries many governments in latin america. coming back. here in bolivia would mean a new ally for a governess like the regime of nicholas mother or even a spoiler for example on us our reporting for you from la paz bolivia thank you. ever for a let you go reminder of the top story that we're covering for you this hour armenia and azerbaijan are trading blame for the breakdown of another cease fire is

being continued fighting for the last in the next over the disputed region of new porno kind of hundreds of people have been killed. thank you so much for watching next stop is kate for example with that you're a business update you're watching it every news from girl let me back at the top of the our political headlines for now thanks for spending was pretty. good was the 1st international tribunal in history. the nurnberg trials. of 75 years ago high ranking officers of the nazi regime organized by the allied

forces. were the 1st criminals to be held accountable for their crimes for. a measure now i'm i'm. going rudolf pair you use the phrase you're. our 2 part series the 3rd reich the dog starts nov 12th on a d w. a further blow for a country a rarity in an economic crisis in zimbabwe shortages caused by the pandemic are forcing people to cross into neighboring south africa in search of supply is. also coming up on economic actually liar in china the latest quarter new figures suggest

the country is on course for a strong recovery. this is. ferguson welcome to the show. we begin in the way where runaway inflation and medical shortages were already causing hardship before it that coronavirus struck with a pandemic to contend with things are getting a whole lot worse as we'll see in our next report the situation has prompted some zimbabweans to cross into neighboring fife africa in search of supplies. border between zimbabwe and south africa. has been closed for months because of the coronavirus pandemic traffic is moving again many zimbabweans are coming to south africa to shop because there's nothing at home. where we. saw you would become very sharp and very cheap.

but without the correct documents it's difficult to get into south africa some people are traveling into the country not only to get food for themselves but to make a profit reselling goods in zimbabwe others or even smuggling goods south african authorities say they're taking action. we are going to try to do. christians. we've heard from our growers we can form of syndicates. before. the word you have firm support but be fair if you have firms. for many every day zimbabweans the ability to shop in a neighboring country is a great relief the economic situation in their home country is catastrophic with most necessary items on available and prices exploding experts fear inflation could reach up to 500 percent this year.

let's talk more about this with each of you correspondent for a village most fun here each he joins us now from the zimbabwean capital harare. we have privilege on the line. ok privilege for a bit if you can hear me we got some idea just now of just how bad the situation is in zimbabwe right now tell us just how ordinary people are firing at the moment oh. from the time the pandemic got to needs. a lot of. difference they could only got that includes production industries and also taking into consideration that a lot of people in zimbabwe are foremost 6 or so that's

a huge you know queer little city so hence the struggle in little people right now are being. seen for this excessive on the table because of their economic performance the privilege hopes were really high after the ice or robert mugabe in 2017 what has gone wrong since that. this issue that is i have to do with the current at this station that's a lot of people do not have confidence in the courage at the streets and also locally and internationally. the sense of confidence and some of the roles and behaviors that we used to see jury will gather start and people prevail and that's the reason why. the cutter that used this is called to be struggling to turn around the economy because. even if i'm not familiar with this that i'm not

quite coincidence the quantum physics finally what do you think has to happen for the situation to improve. right it seems that move to have been very courageous and of point for can these. events of 42 consistency do you have problems with the current system where you say the no one wanted to make the case so that. you know what it is not of. course. going to come in the administration so for people to come in for one incident corner. if you're looking for in this economy but in the political part that you sort of. less than harry thank you so much for talking to us now while

most of the world continues to struggle with the economic fallout of the coronavirus china as the latest quarterly thinkers appear to show the country is on the rebind government figures show economic growth in the 3rd quarter was up 4.9 per cent compared to the same period last year global demand for mosques and other medical supplies boosted factory and pushed and retail spending is now back to pre virus levels with beijing saying it has the disease under control the recovery in the world's 2nd biggest economy a ready seems well underway business here is booming the demand for building equipment has doubled in recent months china's economy is blazing thanks to demand for construction for now environmental protection is on the back burner in more than $20000.00 project environment it's simply dropped. but yan chin

chin now earns 17 euro's a day which she urgently needs because what if there is no work. then i'll stay home they'll be hardly anything to eat. and as a result everyone here says they're happy about their jobs. it's all good we can build new roads we can have work we can have food. our steel and cement of the main climate culprits here but they're also a big ingredient in china's monthly growth figures but many economists say that china is building in excess of demand off their g.d.p. he's going to what he's politely called investment but much of. much of which really. capital spending just. g.d.p. . china is even counting on coal fired power plants to help boost the economy at

least 25 new plants are in the works this construction has been officially declared a poverty reduction project filming the plants is less than desired coal power plants are not part of the image that china is trying to project but right now it's the economy that matters even if the expense of clean air and water. now while china may be on the road to recovery here in europe the pounds and make is proving extremely expensive with countries taking on human dest to deal with the full weight of locke's hands in 2019 the 19 countries that use the euro currency had a fiscal deficit of almost 77000000000 euros the laces draft budget plans from the european commission suggest that figure will rise to 976000000000 euros this year well over 10 times higher the debt explosion has been made possible after rules designed to rein in spending were at loose ends to deal with

the economic impact of the phantom. germany has an ambitious goal to become climate neutral byt 2050 but plans to revise its renewable energy lot mean that subsidies for a bio gas power plant could be coming to an end for many smaller scale operators this could mean they'll go out of business. silent scorn and horse manure. those are very new to months most valuable raw materials the farmer fills them into his bio gas plant near the western german city of munster to generate electricity for the past 16 years he's been feeding electric power into the grid and receiving compensation of up to $0.24 per kilowatt hour but now the subsidies are set to be cut. when it hits parts farms what i get now is around $22.00 to $0.24 and i'm supposed to produce for $0.18 that means i have to cut my costs but at the

moment i can't see any potential for savings i need capital to keep the plant viable in the future. there's an important source of income that this energy farmer wishes he had that's the heat from the bio gas plant in principle he could sell it to people for heating their homes if only his farm or it so remote determined cultivates a rather small field too small to enable him to operate the bio gas facility with his own corn instead he has to buy corn from a neighbor it's the result of poor planning years ago omar booking a researcher at munster university of applied sciences has evaluated $200.00 bio gas plants in terms of cost effectiveness he predicts that the planned cuts to subsidies will leave 30 to 40 percent of them bankrupt. the avoidance of vic 14 foresee and we want to transition from fossil fuel so we can't keep doing u. turns every 10 years we've developed the technology it's now technically ready and
