the root is not the solution. the flight could be fatal. but going back is not an option. i'm on and they are stuck in the spanish border area alongside other young people waiting for a chance that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts january 18th on t w. what is one of the most important things when it comes to operating our homes and businesses its energy and was lee it comes from burning fossil fuels generating carbon dioxide and other heat trapping emissions onto these so we look at it in

a way sions that provide an alternative and help us inch towards a carbon neutral world how welcome to equal india that are. let's start of the new delhi sandwiched between the himalayan mountains with the biting cold pin rocky to real daily life here is very hard so why the often depends on heat and hot water and the loss of providing this invariably falls upon the women of the house who are eating into a large part of 4 d. an organization in the wyly is trying to change this. every morning these women set off for work in the qunu valley in the state of him a child predator. collecting firewood for their families is a back breaking enterprise. people living higher up at around 1800 meters above sea level need hot water on a daily basis it's cold in these parts especially in winter and that's becoming

a growing problem for the region's forests with the population having increased by one 3rd over the last 20 years to around 490000. earlier times when the population was much less harvesting from forest was not an issue but with the increasing population with increasing now that a harsh word window and dog there are long spells of rain. and all this is a name to get out of climate change we find that the pressure on forest has increased in wind belmont in summer also the horde want out acquirement was as high as 70. a day. the hard work takes its toll on the women they spend up to 4 hours a day collecting firewood. from a look at. what. we face many problems when collecting firewood for

instance our hands often get injured. and after finishing that part of the day's work we have to walk long distances to bring the firewood hyun. we often have tools to do as soon as we get that but we hardly have any time for ourselves. once back home the women then have to turn their attention to the housework as well as the children and the livestock. now has a lot more time on their hands. 10 years ago she began using a her mom for heating up water. made of galvanized steel and the medium the device comprises 2 chambers the water goes into the outer layer of the cylinder while the inner chamber is filled with twigs pine cones dried leaves and leftover crops. her mom cost $1000.00 rupees around 11 euro's for pushpa it's been

a great investment. to make him a bad member of. the wall using the traditional stove we have to keep reviving it with firewood and sit watching it constantly. and now the water also heats up much faster and because i don't have to keep watching it the whole time i'm able to multitask. but i knew that. the 35 year old is one of around 1500 women who own her mum in the kulu valley where they used to burn up to 12 kilos of firewood to use up 5 liters of today they need just 500 grams of feel. what small hamam also saves them a lot of time. in doing so these modern heaters make a substantial contribution in the struggle for equal opportunities between men and women. went home i was introduced to all men the men became very active this started not only supporting women in just buy in these divisors but also as

a boarding them to participate have been you know all programs and training programs which the earlier one not coming not they were more you go to send them for meetings so your. multiple people are affected in whereas other aspect of life or what would you women could never think of. it was the idea of reducing women's workload in the home while giving them an opportunity to earn money that prompted mum to chunder to set up a new engine. to provide. power while empowering women in this part of the melee is. jari t. provides women with funds for buying her mom's. but it also has set up a number of self-help groups where the women can come together and exchange ideas and also apply for microtones for their businesses a number of them now sell their own cheese honey and milk products neverland ranch committee is in charge of 14 of the self-help groups an unthinkable notion 10 years

ago back then she simply would not have had the time. but the hamam has changed her life and will she hopes to change that of others too despite resistance. from all over the not. the local me. about what it's very difficult to change people's minds whenever i try talking to other members of the community they didn't think it was a problem may name i believe that there was plenty of firewood that they could keep taking it from the forest and it wouldn't run out they were opposed to using her mom's because of these beliefs the growing use of her mom's cut c o 2 emissions by several tons a year and another benefit to the communities punch outs is that more women can attend the village assemblies or grams of us they are going to war and you know all different managers or you know they are the places they could not go there in fact

their participation in their training programs that reward for women on various issues has increased so the mobility is in careers no women are also seen as they can also contribute they also will but our understanding and awareness of issues in their own been tried so there is also started attending ground so i was. a modest looking device that having a sizeable impact on the environment and on the lives of the women. despite huge investments in rubles all is still king in india it's the one second largest importer of course for a decade now the state of hawaii and western india has provided a passage of will fritz defeat the steel plants in the neighboring states the government has plans to double the free passage but now a new local leadership if action claiming that the core of dust will loot and water

. who does go up along to the go wins that's what these protesters you know donna are chanting across the state environmental action groups hold such events almost every day they want to raise awareness of the plans for a huge increase in cold imports and the construction of another set of train tracks to transport the coal into the interior. elements kareena organizes many of these events she's on a mission to stop the passage of coal through the state. she says the coal goes to steel factories and power stations up to a 1000 kilometers away in the neighboring states of karnataka and maharastra it's not even for the go into themselves thank you want them of course the next day we meet her at the railway tracks she says the freight cars lose a lot of coal and coal dust because they're not properly sealed. you can see this

clearly on the tracks in the month on that goes into groundwater that sits into our wealth into our drinking water see you don't know people you think 4 years ago she discovered the dust was threatening the health of her family. my son used to concrete is click off. and i took him to several doctors they did 7 tests. he had to take the neighbor lies so he was also put on steroids. but due to his education we had to move to the city. and of it then no month my son was crying. over $10000000.00 tons of coal arrived at the port of mormon every year it's then transported by truck or train across the central government has approved a plan to increase coal imports over 5 fold to 51000000 tons

a year by 2035 the coal is imported from australia south africa and indonesia by 3 companies adani. heading east into the interior the trains pass through in a forested area rich in biodiversity international studies have shown that up to one percent of coal is lost for each 500 kilometers of transit that's at least 300 kilograms per wagon and there are 3 trains with more than 50 wagons per hour. yes shows us where a 2nd set of tracks is to be built so that more coal can be transported she says houses here are solid by the dust many of also sustained damage because the ground shakes when the trains go by they now face demolition she tries to reach out to older people in the area. many feel trapped and helpless. to the colas dr going we have had

a big problem pollution and even if sometimes those things are not colored. i know. then you have been killed problems you have any chance in london future you'd be less. the bug one might have your wildlife sanctuary is part of the western ghats a mountain range recognized by unesco as one of the world's 8 hottest hotspots of biodiversity nonetheless nearby thousands of trees have been felled to make way for a substation for the power line to serve the new railway tracks krishna's or whose tribe lives in the protected area fears the land trees animals and water sources are in jeopardy yet of what it there once the what the missiles for why should anyone is gone they will start coming and all that we need just big and we can do right now we can see the monkey with. all of it is that in all that we need they don't even allow us to grow by 99 stuff so they eat. protests alone

won't help he says the bank would be how fired up british and hoping that one legal system the court they've been looking to. it's often up to the courts to block projects that have been approved without proper public consultation they youth and go are hoping that will be the case here as we go is facing a lot of destruction projects which are coming in goa and it is very wrong to go in there and is not listening to the people at what cost we don't want to double up and we don't want you know the ones of what the don't want cutting off trees which is going to effect us if we develop today and if we down 20 to 30 years if our future is in danger what is the use of this development there is no point in economics i'm not certain solomon miranda fears that the mega projects that are coming will lead to a total destruction of go up 15 different protest groups formed by people like

miranda and mustering yes are trying to stop the expansion of coal transports in order to protect both nature and the health of go with us. this is how the protesters here sum up the problem whole magnates are coming to go and to bring disease and destruction while the government turns its back on the state government was not available for an interview meanwhile work on the coal related infrastructure projects continues as do the protests. india might be dependent on called for now but she remembered that some of the was the largest solar box are also looking to india with the what 2600 hours of sunlight on average every year it's no wonder there's huge potential but even in germany with an average of 1600 hours of sunlight annually solar power is in huge demand specially because the acknowledged he has become much cheaper. the country

is now building its largest store. these panels are pretty easy to install but there are thousands of them still to go. in the countryside near berlin germany's biggest solar park is taking shape to us and the project manager. take sector has been growing significantly in recent years between 20102012 there was a big expansion and then 3 years ago there was another major increase in terms of rooftop systems but also on the ground operations big solar parks are really taking on. germany is aiming to phase out coal powered by 2030 days and nuclear power will be switched off soon 2 so will solar be able to meet the country's energy needs and how will it change the landscape. half

a 1000000 modules built on math full frame. 100000 mounting posts. 250 kilometers of cable. 150 fishers working on behalf of one of germany's biggest energy companies. we definitely have the potential to complete projects of this scale but rather than size it's the viability of the project that counts for you. this solar park is the size of $225.00 soccer pitches facilities in europe tend to be smaller because they compete with agriculture for the land in arab areas of india for example from solar parts can provide enough electricity for half a 1000000 households. but solar parks alone aren't enough here in germany there are

19000000 apartment buildings and houses up the loss of roof space. and an ideal place for solar panels. an entire industry has been built around installing. now adays the systems are very affordable and economical to run since you basically don't have any maintenance costs on the bottles cause the installations have become so affordable to install that they quickly pay for themselves what is it about. owns a house with their roof tops solar system in many cases the system actually produces more energy than a household needs. as one of the things that makes it financially worthwhile is that the costs of heating your house or heating your water are pretty low.

the equipment's paid for itself in just a few years. after that the electricity produced is essentially free. all germany's fruit for use to generate solar power they cover the country's energy needs. it's a company that builds solar park across europe. solar systems are important but they won't cover our energy needs on their own you have to set priorities. you have to figure out which roofs are technically suitable and then you have to figure out which ones of those are financially viable. solar energy is expected to see significant growth in germany. by the time the last coal fired power station is switched off and 2038 there would have to be 5 times as many

rooftop solar systems on parks as there are now to cover energy needs. solar energy would then account for a quarter of the country's power i would put. the number of orders for new solar parks is growing fast what's behind the boom. in the last decade. have decreased in price to around a 10th of what they were originally we can now produce. electricity in germany for $4.00 to $0.06 per kilowatt hour you can't do that in a coal fired plant or nuclear power station even after the initial investment has been paid off. to germany's biggest solar park project 10 years ago the operating companies with one of the biggest nuclear power pretty city in the country. still run several coal fired plants but that will soon be

a thing of the past. 39 and. these new energy sources will have to fill the gap and they've become a central pillar in our portfolio. 2012 we've seen growth in all new and renewable segments including wind both offshore and on shore as well as solar. energy these technologies will account for about half of our output by 2025 i mean. the solar panels made in china just keep on coming day in day as it's hoped to the park will be in operation soon. reducing carbon emissions is one of the key factors to making sure that the planet survives and no one verifies that then the people living in a small town in southern india you know the government has set an admission to make

. a provide a model for the rest of let's take a look. evening stroll around this coffee plantation the organic shake robust a coffee grows is a speciality in the southern states have kerala. why not this is why unutterable stokowski we count the number of clusters on each branch 12345678914 the best coffee harvester. these clusters on a broad. plantation in the quaint town of mean a special it's on the verge of becoming the 1st carbon neutral certified coffee plantation in india. but that involves more than just the plantation the town has set itself an ambitious 21st century goal.

as the world confronts global warming and climate issues we've started a carbon neutral program people tend to think of development in terms of infrastructural development like building roads bridges and airports but we're encouraging the environment to. 2016 he has become something of a climate science lab and the local government here is working with a wide range of groups to figure out how the town's net carbon footprint can be brought down to 0. this is significant for india a country that is the world's 4th largest greenhouse gas emissions. when the project began many of the 34000 residents of mino god didn't know what global warming even meant but they knew that things were changing. we've all been affected by climate change weather patterns are why and ours are not

what they used to be when i used to have a natural ac but now we can't sleep without using electric or conditioning. emissions produced by transport and households and industries in the town are already being partially offset by the forests that surround. that was revealed by detailed study conducted to determine the town's carbon footprint at the time. the study concluded that an additional $15000.00 tonnes of c o 2 needed to be put back into the ground each year for the town to attain net 0 emission or carbon neutral status volunteers and workers began to reforest the area. they have to do their bit to buffer the average temperature rise of between 2 and 4.5 degrees celsius that is predicted for the region by 2050.

such a rise would cause rice production to fall and devastate heat sensitive crops like cardamom and coffee. the study found there were other improvements the town could make for example waste management. separating different kinds of waste and recycling plastic would contribute to attaining the goal of being carbon neutral. residents of mean and goddy have already taken the issue to heart says the manager of the town's recycling facility. making 1 dollar people carry their own bags now when they go grocery shopping they stopped using plastic sold in stores so plastic consumption and households has dramatically decreased its decreased in my own home as well

before this happened plastic bags were widely used by shopkeepers but that's gone down most of the people i'm in gardi have changed their ways a lot but they did my thing on the ground. that even before the carbon neutral movement began here. the headmaster of a local school had begun working with his students to offset c o 2 emissions. out of this other one would be will. learn about because they're 90 percent of the children studying here belong to local tribal communities. most of them belong to the lowest economic groups they are the most sensitive to the environment. they don't need any lessons on how to plant and nurture trees and shrubs to get ample knowledge of. from their own homes and villages. other than me on a school or on the job so you move together they cultivated them to plantations at the school as a valuable sing for carbon storage in this region who has the potential to offset

up to $400.00 tons of c o 2 equivalents per hectare. not needed in about the only you are here to develop these programs are implemented properly then we might just be able to achieve some precious objective. we hope that the number of new trees we planted be enough to absorb the excess carbon. that i am about a younger you. often carbon neutrality is a goal that can never be entirely completely achieved but even getting the community together is a success in itself and this could certainly serve as a model for many cities in india. reducing our carbon footprint is a macro as well as a micro for us as a species while governments and policymakers tackle the larger questions in back to our planet it falls upon us to address on a smaller scale you know individual lives as well what are you doing to reduce your

carbon footprint let us know what you call india a d w we'll see you again next week from our entirety good buy.

it was kind of the famous like a bunch of the queen because i wanted to see if germany was but maybe the last few years have been quite override brilliant that we haven't already done the harm up when it comes to gemma because on the whole so was look right in the eyes for cheer up perhaps the biggest songs a new hobby of mine i'm going on tour a bird i love to be in the music there are pros and there are

a punk but when you feel them all together they're realizing the cultures of the noble way of living a lie you ready to meet the devil then joining me right just do it. mrs hall many portions of loves us right now in the world right now climate change to fend off a story. faces much less away from just one week. how much worse can really get. we still have time to an ongoing. success. that subscribe for more news like this. oh and if we were. as our favorite. and if locating the bathtub was very close. to.

this is the the good news live from berlin the e.u. doubles its orders for the biotech pfizer vaccine brussel secures an extra 300000000 doses taking up nearly half the drug makers globally. also coming up to those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction you do not represent our country. from now condemns the rioters who stormed the capital but it's too little too late for the democrats saying it won't the president out now before joe biden

is sworn in. i'm going to have our 1st welcome to the program europe's bosses have struck a deal with drug companies biotech and pfizer for an extra 300000000 doses of their covert 19 back seen the agreement means the uber now will buy nearly half of the 2 firms production bustles has come under fire for not securing enough stocks or facts in on the slow rollout off immunizations across the e.u. european commission president also funded line says the new order is a welcome boost. with the new agreement we could purchase a total of up to an additional $300000000.00 doses of the biotech pfizer vaccine in other words this will allow us to double the amount of doses of biotech

pfizer. on the line speaking of them now joined by correspondent terror cells in brussels terry what will this agreement mean for the e.u. wide rollout now certainly over the long term care hard it will be reassuring for citizens to know that there will be more vaccinations available but you know that hasn't really been the biggest problem here at the beginning of the e.u. wide vaccination program the problem is production that the facilities simply can't keep up with the demand so while it's one thing to buy the extra doses it's another to actually get them in hand and especially with this vaccine that needs to be transported and stored in ultra cold conditions to actually get the vaccinations in place stored correctly and then finally in the arm of citizens who are very much looking forward to this so the underlying announcing this morning these extra purchases she admitted that the they won't actually be delivered until some in the 1st in the 2nd quarter of this year and then not the rest of them until the end of

the year but also e.u. regulators now allow doctors to draw up to 6 doses from each vile vaccine why is this important that is important because when you're talking about millions of vials of the vaccination if you can drop even this extra dose from each bottle then you're vaccinating millions more people so until now the pfizer biotech vaccine was known to have 5 doses inside them and then there's these stories started circulating that actually you can get another full dose if you're careful so what happened today was that the european medicines agency said we approved taking a 6 dose out of a vial they said you have to use a very specific syringe needle combination but by doing that millions more people could get these doses and those are in hand already it's called good news actually . going in the you terry. well that's a mixed bag so you see ursule of underlying proudly coming out and saying you know

we've bought 300000000 more doses at the same time she refused to answer questions about these this story that germany on this side has gone and purchased its own pfizer vaccines and as well the cure of act vaccines now this is something that happened last year while germany was president of the european council for 6 months and in charge of helping shepherd countries into an agreement that nobody would make deals on the side the european commission was to be the only body negotiating that negotiating vaccine purchases and germany was very much a driving force behind that so for the german government to come out at an mit that it secretly signed these agreements with pharmaceutical companies has really hit the solidarity of the european commission's a vaccination for care program it's uncomfortable for everyone the european commission that at its daily briefing has been asked daily about this and it really

doesn't have much to say about it found ally and herself dodging the questions so there are other governments as well who have been trying to negotiate on the side so we'll just have to see how this all turns out but it's not a boost for solidarity in the european union that's for sure tara fields in brussels thank you. from the coronavirus house reached a new peak here in germany to sponsor a nationwide lockdown the public health agency says there was just on the 1200 call that related deaths in the last day and almost $32000.00 cases it's just below the previous peak in december health ministry official says the government has agreed preliminary deals with 2 german vaccine supplies including biotech for $50000000.00 extra doses in the summer. here's a look at some of the other developments in the pandemic the us has reported more than 4000 new covert 19 deaths in the past 24 hours that's

u.s. president donald trump says he will not be attending the inauguration of his successor joe biden in just under 2 weeks' time the outgoing president has finally conceded he will be leaving office 2 months on from the election and after supporters storm capitol earlier this week a police officer has died of his injuries following following clashes with the pro trump mall. a couple of days too late fresh fortifications around the u.s. capitol building after an angry mob invaded the altar of american democracy. those who attacked journalists. and police and now being attacked by their leader who himself is under intense fire the demonstrators who infiltrated the capital have defiled the seat of american

democracy to those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction you do not represent our country and to those who broke the law you will pay we have just been through an intense election and emotions are high but now tempers must be cool and calm we store truck stop short of actually conceding defeat his statement contrast it with those prior to the storming where he urged attendees to fight to overturn the election results doing we will never give up we will never concede it doesn't happen. shortly afterwards hundreds of people were marching through the halls of the capitol for protesters died in the chaos one of them of gunshot wounds and a police officer died from injuries inflicted in the. america's next president joe biden lays the ugly insurrection squarely at trump's feet you know unleashed. and all out assault on our institutions of our democracy from the outset

and yesterday was about the culmination of that unrelenting attack while some normalcy has returned to washington d.c. the city is clearly shaken even trump supporters in the capital were shocked by the violence what happened yesterday is just. i mean i am a trump supporter and they did. it with a cap that was definitely. we don't support that rid of the people that we don't support that that is you know they they. overcame police and they overcame barricades that's not lot order and for some members of trump's cabinet wednesday's events also went too far several have since resigned including the transportation secretary and most recently education secretary. well top democrats and even some republicans are now calling for trump to be removed from

office before his term ends on january 28th there are 2 ways that could be done invoking the 25th amendment to the constitution which would require vice president mike pence and a majority of the cabinet to declare trump unfits to hold office american media report that pence is unlikely to do this or the house of representatives can move to impeach trump and the senate can vote to convict him removing him from office house speaker nancy pelosi has said that if trump is not removed by the 25th amendment the house will impeach him the republican controlled senate must then vote to convict the president with a 2 thirds majority and it's unclear how likely that is to happen the house already impeached trump in 2019 but the senate failed to convict as a scenario that could easily repeat itself now. in washington our correspondents all of us all it is following the latest developments for us all over it's unlikely

that he's going to be successfully impeached and it's only 10 days anyway why bother what can be achieved by that. this is rather a symbolic move as we speak about the house democrats want to make clear that they believe that donald trump is too dangerous of a man to remain in office even if it's just for 10 days as you mentioned also that congress is not accepting that immuno of a president that is obviously inciting a violent law to enter the capital which is the symbol of american democracy so it's a lot about symbols it's also about the history books because a 2nd of pietschmann proceeding would make donald trump the 2nd the 1st president in american history to be impeached twice so what does all this mean for the future of his founded the republican party looking at a split that well some do want to split up and to have another

party a more radical party that is rather following the tradition of the trump ism off donald trump as president about the republican party cannot afford a split of just remember the 2016 election when donald trump was elected and he's there won the election without the popular vote and so a split up into 2 parties would mean even less will in the future for the republicans also the democrats the demographics in the united states are not moving their way so there are some estimates suggesting that in 2025 there will be no more no longer a white majority in the u.s. and there is already a rift in the party between loyalists and others that are increasingly criticizing the president but that all means a big dilemma for the republican party it's going to be a tough future ahead if they split up and us well if they don't our correspondents all of us are that they're reporting from washington d.c.
