cycle of fault is called water. and almost limitless renewable source that can be used for heating and electricity. like in iceland where geothermal energy has become more and more important it was pushed in the 1970 s. when all crisis hit the world and shook tiny iceland as well from harlem borrow. a story from. and if the crisis of life is so refused the instinct or speed of. almost all the all important arm was. a success story countries around the world are learning from iceland and a keen to use to technology back home and especially in indonesia this could be a game changer it nisha isn't islands archaeological because you can see itself thousands of violins delegated along the equator and on top of the ring the effect of volcanoes the so-called ring of fire. we just say cynically acting until now and

it makes as having to be just get them up in the world approximately $29.00 gigawatts of potential geothermal power is spread across hundreds of locations on several islands such as java. sumatra and bali but how much is that really 29 go words well and back to the future in the eighty's it took 1.21 gigawatts to travel through time a crazy big number back down. point where i was. today $29.00 gigawatts can be expressed as the output per year of $29.00 medium sized nuclear power plants or $12344.00 wind turbines that means potentially more than one 3rd of indonesia's energy capacity could come from geothermal power plants one day it's now still mostly public by coal. 60 to present

a home at the city comes from the poor on bad information we have this week and the sions fund that are called parkland and it makes the air pollution going so badly here that's why we need to change our energy choice and geothermal energy could be a smart choice it is available 24 hours per day $365.00 days per year in contrast so we're. on cloudy days or wind when the wind doesn't blow and as it is a clean technology it could tell decarbonize the policy and not only in indonesia but in other parts of the world the wrong tree to 4 percent of global energy demand by 2050 could be supplied from geothermal estimates say. today just around the quantum of the norm potential around the world is being used one reason is it is not attractive to investors in the short term because it takes

years to develop. once the operation is firmly developed and everybody is everything is running well it is definitely a cash cow you are making money left and right but it takes a long time and people are impatient and not a problem it's just thermal exploration could trigger earthquakes not just the drilling itself but removing the steam and returning to water can destabilize the undergrowth it's rare but it can happen and in indonesia. is also resistance because many areas a sacred moment people thinking this is the really out of their mind if that holy place is being driel tool get just a minute and since coal is still the top priority in indonesia it is hard to sell the idea of green geothermal energy. the local people who live close to the region

off of the edge of the manager resources they don't talk about change they don't talk about green energy issue also green energy is not really all you need despite some technological problems geothermal energy seems to have great potential not only in iceland but around the world and if we've learned something from the icelanders it's that other countries could start promoting and investing much more into it because dirt is a great and clean source of power waiting to be used right there. and look to the stars now with thanks to one of the most famous innovators of our time a long musk is project starlink promises to bring high speed internet to everyone not just people in big cities all richer economies this could be a solution for far off places all around the globe including remote communities in africa that value restricted access until now well we visited eastern congo where

every upload is a challenge just wait till but it's about working. in some parts of africa uploading files is often a real challenge many places have little to no access to the internet. why. does the solution lie in space thousands of satellites are being deployed to enable high speed internet worldwide by starlink a 10 bill. in dollar project launched by south african born in long months. jeff will head obama is a documentary filmmaker and journalist he also provides footage to t.v. broadcasters in europe and needs to transfer the images quickly over the internet. but in his hometown of sucking in eastern congo and getting a connection as often a hit or miss affair. he's currently trying to upload his footage via his cell

phone. some tell you it's a way it's and some snow to work in good some day and you can sense only 2 g. that waits much more than that to go but it's going to give him a big. full day sending just to get of it. is not only. is a will of the lives that means into needs but the form called the full country needs into it so what i can ask to study is to just come here to help and goods their company here because people need into it. but aren't there more pressing problems here like fighting hunger and poverty.

and if the internet is a necessity to any place in the water it is where it is in africa and never was and it was communities to tap into whether it's education systems that they do not have access to all health care systems that they would otherwise have no access to and all of the cultural markets to produce that they would have no access to. starlink is intended to serve africa to. data and videos will be transmitted to satellites that will be in the material to tracking stations connected to the internet. starlink is currently testing its technology in the united states to get a high speed internet connection users need a device which is easy to install initial reports say the connections are usually

fast and stable. among. them becomes difficult to someone who. are bored. maybe for an. operation. might be able to. go mach is the closest city in congo to muhammad's home internet cafes here promise wrap it up loads the journalist hopes he'll finally be able to send his video material all 40 kg of bytes of it. when i want to say it's just lead to too big a plate if i just click here. nothing. nothing. 40 gigabytes would cost him almost $150.00 euros here he does people who are just sitting just money. just did it because you're going do nothing with this it did it

and it's about to open. the starling technology could improve speed and reliability in cyber cafes and allow unrestricted access to the worldwide web but that is precisely what the government and congo doesn't want. to be admissions. by any doctor but what the regulation. or. not. is this the end of the road for starlink in africa you know neighboring rwanda has been using other providers satellites for fast internet for some time now it's seen as a driver for development internet tourists come to could gali from far and wide from humber it was a 4 hour trip by bus and motorbike. and the speed is good. the upload

takes 2 hours his client in the netherlands has finally received the video files the prize 20 year olds i didn't cross the border to border in the country just to look for into. its owner and see. them to move. to the poor country. my. uncle. that you swore it is they say henri and that president. he got. this all the way to. i'm sure all of these. are actually. in the mamba is tired of all the traveling around he still pinning his hopes on starlink and its promise to deliver high speed internet to africa.

and to leaders from around the world voiced their optimism about the new team in the white house after years of transatlantic a turmoil the e.u. mention nato are hoping to start mending relations with the u.s. . plane. oh and claire richardson welcome to the show joe biden has become the united states 46th president and he's already gotten down to work reversing some of the policies of the previous administration shortly after entering the oval office president biden assigned a stack of executive orders among them rejoining the paris climate accord and reversing an immigration ban on people from several muslim countries is also stepped up measures to fight the coronavirus pandemic and announced a key appointments while his democratic party has taken control of congress which. on tuesday biden took the oath of office promising to bring together

a divided nation. a sea change in u.s. politics. this is america's day this is democracy day the day of history and hope are no resolved through a crucible for the ages america has been tested a new america has risen to the challenge. in his inaugural speech as president of the united states joe biden appealed to americans to overcome their divisions without mentioning his predecessor by name he sounded the beginning of a new era in which he said truths would prevail. recent weeks and months have taught us a painful lesson there is truth and our lives. lived troll for power

and for profit. and new jersey has a duty and a responsibility as citizens as americans and especially as leaders leaders who have pledged to honor our constitution to protect our nation to defend the truth and defeat the lies. what made this day truly extraordinary in the history of the us was the swearing in of come on how us the 1st black american the 1st asian american the 1st woman to hold the office of vice president. biden's. knocking on was her previous s.-a mike pence unlike donald trump he had come to the ceremony to honor the new administration. former presidents george w. bush and bill clinton were there. and say to barack obama and biden served us vice president to stop our always intensified with lady gaga singing the national

anthem. jennifer lopez with a medley of this land is your land and america's a beautiful. and country singer goth brooks asked everyone to join in amazing grace. but the future was heralded by 22 year old poet amanda goldman who took up the themes of biden's inaugural speech in a poem addressing the problems of the divided nation and offering hope for there was always like if only were brave enough to see it if only were brave enough to be it. and joe biden 46th president of the united states is taking up that challenge. on reporter stacy

befriends of joins me now in the studio for more days it's been a busy day for president joe biden tell us more about what he's been up to well he's managed to be able to set the tone and a distinct departure from the previous administration and he's done that with his executive orders and so we've mentioned rejoining the paris climate accord and the w.h.o. which is very important it's a signal a signpost to you know international our allies that the united states is back and wanting to work with them and not demonize them and to move ahead it will be interesting to see how that goes though because we're no longer in the obama biden administration things have progressed and so places like europe the european union for example is no longer really interested in being the robin to the united states batman they kind of want to have their own autonomy in a lot of ways and be a partner and not have the u.s. sit at the head table but at least there is mutual respect and this urgency to work

together today also president biden issued executive orders that reset the travel ban. focused predominately muslim countries and stop the building of the big beautiful wall as donald trump calls it that borders the mexico u.s. border so there is a distinct departure just to show the tone and the you. unity that joe biden has talked about so much well exactly speaking of unity that was one of the main themes of his inaugural address but is it really possible i mean the country at this point is so deeply divided will biden actually be able to get republicans on side to push through congress and make laws people who have known him and worked with him for his nearly 50 years in public service believe that he is the man for the moment his tone his empathy his of his willingness to compromise and work across the aisle he

kind of a lot of pushback earlier in his career because he was working with segregationists so if he can do that the hope is that he can be able to work with republicans it's sad though i was a great day but it's sad that at 2021 his inaugural address had to talk about the importance of racial equality while also the now thing white supremacy which the last administration couldn't make itself do so that's interesting but one of the things that the country can coalesce together is around coded and president biden introduced a 1.9 trillion dollars package to the congress who knows if if it'll be that big at the end of the day but what democrats and republicans whether you're a governor of a republican state or a republican or a democratic state you need help the rollout to get the vaccine in people's arms has been slow it's been dysfunctional and so tied in wanting to give more money for unemployment for schools to get the economy to get the key to get covered under

control so that the economy can open up everybody wants that if he can get it if he can be successful this will get him some good will will with people who. who are disappointed that he won or some people who don't even want to believe that he actually won the goodwill that's badly needed with more than 400000 americans already dead getting of the pandemic exactly now this inauguration was of course also a historic day for the former senator from california comma harris just becoming the 1st woman and the 1st person of color to be vice president of the united states what he's actually will her role be in this new administration well it's multifaceted we're working the night that the election was called for biden and harris and we were talking about the importance of representation how so many girls who are black and brown are told they can do whatever they want they work hard enough but people who look like me have this caveat in the back of their minds that

there are some things that are not attainable that we look at cumberland harris who is the daughter of immigrants of jamaican and south asian descent a woman in the 2nd highest office in the land that's nature not just for kids of color preference it's important to see but also in her role she will be a strong supporter of joe biden a fighter for him and we've seen her do that when she did the senate confirmation hearings. and she will be what he was to president barack obama which is the last person in the room when he has to make tough decisions outside of that she as the vice president she's also the president of the senate and it's now divided $5050.00 between republicans and democrats so she would be casting a crucial tie breaking vote if there is a tie break and as you said the country is divided and so. it goes to show that there is the possibility that the senate will also be very tight

and it'll be a little bit harder to get things through but having her as that casting vote will make a big difference absolutely a vote to do come down to 2 party line votes and she is going to be there all the time casting that breaking. vote all right did the states have evans thank you so much for that. and joe biden's inauguration has been welcomed around the world the european union and nato are hoping his administration will make the united states a reliable ally once again you spoke to the president of the european commission on july and here is what she had to say when he said over but i am so pleased that we once again have a friend in the white house come on i'm also very pleased that incoming the harris we have the 1st woman vice president of the united states of america and it is certainly the case that we have much in common begin by an independent that begins with the task of managing the pandemic. of combating climate change as well as

digitalisation but there are other issues where we have differences of opinion for example on the question of additional tax on tech and digital platforms there will certainly be tensions there but the good thing is if we are friends if we are like minded then we can have welcome discussion of these issues and we can hold them fairly openly and above all reliably and then develop a common approach together talking i'm done undermines i'm and. we can. and joining us now from brussels is data of your correspondent banta regards frank good to see you there when european leaders say they are welcoming a friend in the white house with president joe biden what exactly are they hoping to see. expectations are running high here in europe finally the nightmare of the trump administration is over this is the overwhelming mood amongst the majority of european leaders only

a few right wing populist leaders in hungary poland for example and also in britain not so happy today but the rest of the of the politicians are expecting a new partnership a real partner in the white house who was reliable predictable trustworthy and also some more civilized than trump had has been after 4 years of trump america 1st a doctrine when it comes to defense will nato and the e.u. put more trust in the biden administration as an ally but the conflict of interests between the leading partner in the nato and the u.s. and the rest in europe with a certain to remain in the conflict of burden sharing and defense spending is not over and it started already under the obama biden in the situation but the europeans are pledging that they want to do more for their own defense that they

want to create a kind of european independence europeans to energy and we have to see how that pans out to the foreign minister of germany for example says at least we won some consultation and cooperation in they do many things will change and many will change for the better biden has it signals about combating climate change will be a top priority what does he need to do to convince european leaders that he's serious about this. but the europeans expect now that the u.s. is rejoining the treaty that the you have been social to come forward with some real climate goads and will set an example for the rest of the world because the us is one of the major polluters. in the world and so the have a central road to food to foster and to to boost the treaty and to do really something for climate change a thing trump never has done they make it in brussels thank you very much.
