global hunger for energy is only increasing with every passing year the united nations believes that our journey towards a climate disaster will continue steady unless we make an urgent smidge to an efficient and renewable energy in all sectors but renewable energy comes at a cost to the only cool india let's critically analyze this alternative hello welcome. the latest survey by the government of india reveals that 13 percent of its 1300000000 citizens don't have access to create electricity in the last decade states in the us have to hydropower work to close the gaps in traffic

with many of us crisscrossing this region hydro power potential is huge but this clean energy negative is now being challenged on the grounds of adverse effects. pritam singh is angry with the government and its promise of environmentally friendly energy he lives on the same street as small tributary in the state. within 20 years the. 100 hydroelectric power stations 2 of them on the things. you're not talking to begin to be. a benefit and develop the idea in the book was under. the veil. there's no water in the. environment. and everything has been destroyed we have been left with nothing can.

change really does it and see they were promised compensation and jobs in the. us which would traditionally based on agriculture. not move with the 2 hydroelectric plants on the same ship that is nowhere near enough to speak. and do more under construction. can get a lot of time taught agriculture but before this on a diet dependent we never had to call it is anything from the market instead you would. know that i learned not to depend. in a market to access basic amenities like this has been a huge. they didn't pick chin than any trauma. as an environmentally friendly bunch of souls hydroelectric plants have become an important generator for electricity you don't work in toto place behind coal and

gas and that also makes them a lucrative source of income in hamachi pradesh the state government breaks in over 9000000000 ridley's that is 100000000 euros in electricity revenues. and one mental act of it's not a god to hide boom but the skepticism good mansingh research is the effect it's had on biodiversity and people's lives in the region. you have made them so it's have been negative impact on the environment around them and has been expropriated it's been submerged in water that mean it's. be destroyed that is largest. any. and that to put it in water meant. particular something. on top of

that the region is prone to earth looks breaches avalanches and landslides the biggest draw for the people living here as recently happened neighboring with the rock industry. that it would be done lies only 40 kilometers away from the same valley another small tributary but it flows through untouched nature it's one of the few in the region the no hydroelectric plant. that's thanks to read part of the. in 2002 a number of hydroelectric power stations along the river but given planning permission. up with other villagers and went to court. everybody was awed up project called up all you teachers and all the bureaucracy also white will see everybody take it and no seat except appreciate the fraud no benefits comes to the local in my rarely if world or private investors would have

taken the. electricity fee through the national grid to their own just everything they are willing to pay. the villagers won their case though it took 3 years their homeland and livelihoods have been preserved the still live off the grid culture and fishing and in recent years there have also stopped just a sustainable do list industry event inviting travelers to their own home. base was born steve really didn't there's not a lot of you know division that took place and we all this talk people that buddhism is has to be treated as an ordinary day of income generation activity you know and thankfully they're also good or not. you know proved us right because they

did not leave their orchards riyad all thought of notice so we said look at the word your houses because london offices are usually big you know who will 3 rooms to murder them and to whom stays but don't leave your orders and then you know all sorts often. not 20000 people off as a thing to keep them value i mean that residence on much more with than the hydro plant operators promised them. compensation. anglers hikers birdwatch in the study mostly from india come to see the myriad species in the environment the polluters defended so well. it's not just in india where there's a problem just with a 5th of the energy used in heating and cooling in the your opinion comes from

renewable sources and like in india this share is said to grow in the coming years but when it comes to wind turbines some citizens in greece are reluctant construction of hundreds of wind turbines are planned on creek islands and badminton is and local residents have some serious concerns. it is said that the greek island of chino says handmade because of its centuries old walls and paths and the architect you want to publish the top of it is absolutely determined to protect this unique cultural asset so here we can see if it becomes food but for the most made out of dr stone walls before us used to give access to all be on the ships around them it's something that we are trying to take a band that's now in order to develop working towards the windmills and the so-called pigeon houses built by her ancestors 300 years ago are now supposed to give way to wind turbines. they want to shows us the site where private investors

have just completed the foundations for 3 large turbines with another 15 planned. you wanna and many other islanders fear tino's could lose its typical character. council mary. pass to decide what to do are we going to produce a bit of passive phone to next generation so we are going to the mall use most of the 4 modern constructions or other phones it's like this winter. durbin's car the army not far from the plan turbines is home to sculptor mara valley os and his family he fears for the future of greece's cultural heritage. foundation's used to always be the seat of the gods but now they have been supplanted by money and everything is about making money. pretty. he shows us videos of protests he helped to organize

a special police unit beach demonstrators including him with nightsticks a shopping experience. 2 hours away by ferry the island of the country is best known for its unspoiled nature and its mountains include protected areas teeming with rare plant life. here to the agility seen crude and. the private. group is planning $110.00 wind turbines to supply electricity to athens and byron mentalists are alarmed. it is all in. perspective. and this is really a disaster will be a disaster the whole mountain is going to be leveled so it is really. forming. although the plans are not yet final ileus yana is already informing the island's

residents about their potential impact it has had its share of bad experiences with other large scale projects a once lush valley resembled a moonscape like this after a hybrid power plant was built. erosion on the island is already extreme again and again entire hillside slide off especially in areas where the large roads are constructed. the mountains are home not only to go to but to many beekeepers as well. if wind turbines are built here bank alias will have to move away with this piece. it. would be bad for the billions. i couldn't put their boxes near the wind turbines because of the electromagnetic radiation. which could make them lose their orientation. on the side of the mayor's office is aware of the

concerns it met with farm investors 9 years ago to little avail the activities are neighboring islands worry the mayor a few small wind turbines might be tolerable but 110. 1000000 on which we would protest and that's not just my own personal opinion. your local not all the officials in the municipal council and local administration of grange has been. the 1st turbines are standing by 2025 it is meant to be connected to athens via an underwater cable now the investor is supposedly revising the plans to make them environmentally friendly but few believe that. they fear that landscapes like this could soon become a thing of the past. it is a dilemma on the one hand people are protesting because of the problems caused by renewables and on the other. our carbon dioxide emissions because

climate change is causing the world to rise that's a fact we need to move quickly if we are to keep the right 1.5 degrees to limit its impact some scientists say that we also need to actively suck massive amounts of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere but capture and storage is at best is it really a wild option let's take a. we know. too much carbon dioxide into the. but to wouldn't it be amazing if we could find a way to suck it all up and send it back deep underground. climate scientists are now saying that without such technology we won't get our climate dockets. doan's out this seemingly cutting edge idea to capture carbon is actually decades

old. the u.s. navy used capture as a way to clear the air inside submarines and space shuttles that filled up with the breasts of soldiers and astronauts. you may remember that scene of the movie apollo 13 where suddenly they had to build a c o 2 scrubbing system because your 2 levels are going to be getting toxic just 2 gentlemen and then we're to put a square peg in a round hole and they dump all this stuff on a table and said guys we have 3 hours to figure out how to make assertions from like we have the technology already almost like we know how to do things modern carbon capture technology is basically this c o 2 scrubber on a bigger scale like this plant in south india. the polluted air is sucked into the industrial system. after being clean for. transported to the absorption plant where it is cooled and then sent to a liquid solvent that absorb c o 2 which is then moved further into the plant for processing. which is mostly only

what to. do is later stripped out of the solvent and can be used to make other products. or it is used to heat greenhouses or even as a fuel. to right to the source of the pollution like the indian factory where they burn coal and strip the c o 2 out of the emitted small and diverted to the adjoining factory this is the point capture hundreds of pilots and small scale facilities and over 50 plants around the world are currently doing this and then there is direct where big fans sucked large amounts of polluted air directly out of the atmosphere 15 plants a country doing this worldwide but experts say the potential is huge. even if the c o 2 is any to again like when the fuel is bund it is considered carbon neutral as

it hasn't added to the c o 2 that would have entered the air anyway the better thing to do for the environment of course is to prevent emissions from ever entering the air so companies are now working to inject carbon deep into the ground in a process. that can preserve it there indefinitely. this is considered carbon negative as it actively removes carbon from the atmosphere and this also has pretty ironic consequences but more on that later we know from the arithmetic of climate. much of. the next 30 years. friedman is one of the foremost experts on carbon capture who served in the u.s. department of energy he says nasa c o 2 removal. needs to start now and the leading climate body the i.p.c.c. agrees in their latest report they declare that the world will not meet its climate

without active carbon capture and remove the. original carbon suckers trees can play a role but considering the space and water needed and the fact that they are always in the risk of being cut down anyway experts believe they can only play a fractional role. so the focus is now on the tech version of she's direct i capture machines that are springing up around the developed world canadian company carbon engineering plans to launch the biggest commercial truck to plant in 2022. where they were doing a plant. and one many and. each year. currently direct i catch a company's worldwide capture in 1000 tons of c o 2. so carbon engineering goals are massive. effectively. it's usually way for me to invent technologies that enable. the

questionnaire chumley's down the market right now. and i think that brings me back to what was called an engineer inspection this is the main aim which is making it up policy incentives and that's the reason not everybody is already sucking carbon out of the air all over the world estimates vary but at the moment because of the $200.00 to remove a ton of c o 2 loops through direct eye capture. to scale up the industry companies see the need to be better financial incentives. these can come either in the form of credits offered by the government in exchange for removing the harmful substance from the air. all in caps or carbon can be traded at a good price on the market. does a good also come from taxing companies that allow the carbon dioxide. fumes to escape. and that. combination of these measures has well.

norway introduced pollution almost 30 years ago which has now incentivized a number of large companies to capture the carbon setting them on a quick path to the neutrality. seaquest ration has also been carried out and monitored in iceland for over 20 years allowing exports to conclude that the process is safe for all practical purposes and the space available on the ground is virtually limitless other companies in europe as well as canada and the us are catching up but it's early days and this brings us to the not so climate friendly consequences of sequestration in the absence of large incentives from governments capture and sequestration companies are collaborating with paradoxically. big oil companies. what you need is a question you need someone that you can still take of and. one of the places still about old oil and a way that the owners of those assets can be wiling us companies well that's

a very strategic in and you go down. to use their existing outfit. at the same time putting the captured c o 2 into the ground builds up pressure and makes it easier for even more oil to be extracted in a process called enhanced oil recovery. up to 88 percent of carbon captured sequestered at the moment is used to extract more oil and this makes investing in carbon capture financially viable for these oil companies. worry about their big oil role with her capture dan kammen is an expert on clean energy who has spoken out about big problems with this kind of more. companies can continue to. be just. there. there are many other problems throughout the street distributors yes there is local air pollution there is water pollution but on just

finding a way to the way carol is essentially finding a way to continue. the science is clear and then we need to actively remove carbon from the air but we don't broad public support our government incentives these dicked on a g.'s remain in the hands of private investors who will only go away the profits. to keep the technology going we need to ensure a clever combination of incentives for normal companies taxing polluters and pricing for you to hire. a scientific solution therefore a human made problem but not all must lose. it's have to be like that as humans we have an immediate connection to nature something that's perhaps been lost through the creek concrete and pricks of our architecture but there are those who are trying to change that in amsterdam architects are going back to our roots with

biophilia besides what does that really mean let's take a. word instead of concrete curves rather than hard edges a style of architecture that loves life. there result of building according to the principles of buying a film like architecture. jack of all garcia now is the architect of the freebooter or booker near in the deck city of amsterdam one of the can yell image of the feel icky approach is to create direct connection with nature and we created by using the natural materials that. it simulates or are connected visually in the experience to be true to nature. what in slats run around the entire building ensuring optimal riding conditions and privacy the

sense movement was monitored for a whole year so the slats could be aligned perfectly. another fundamental concept of trial for like architecture is that interior and exterior space should merge into one as soon as we you know we wake up in this in this room we can already open up. and i have a direct connection to the terrace and through the natural. of the water. the freebooter a special construction method only cost about 10 percent more than a conventional war 2 families move here each with $120.00 square metres of living space. they enjoy a special indoor climate and a house with close to 0 energy consumption thanks to state of the art technology.

especially like this room because the sun moved around the house your new day and at the end of the day it ends here and the light is very beautiful in this room it's not just the light that special the house appeals to all the senses. when people come to visit almost everybody wants to touch this part. it's girls it's moot people love it. comes the concept isn't only finding favor in amsterdam these days greener buildings are built in many places using wood and other natural materials owners and architects try to integrate the surrounding nature into their constructions even if not always under the labor biofilm like architecture. garcia i know is already thinking on a much larger scale as with this current project my toe since it involves living

units that can be extended at will. it has so many benefits there's a high demand for these kind of the buildings who are really foresee that in the future there was there would be more and more buildings designed with biophilia approach. the freebooter residents have no doubt that their quality of life has improved since moving it. to earth. alive changes spaces change and there's so much more curving us so the whole experience is completely different i think more calming. perhaps and more playful playful. while still like architecture provides a green and holistic approach to living space. and architectural concept with the

future. like in every other relationship we have our relationship with the must be quality driven and not quantity true but if we treat her new energy as just another person . on the news without understanding its impact you may have to solve problems that he signed up for think of all that and i'll see you again next week for my entire team in india and germany good bye.

good shape. there lurking everywhere. well you think this kind of disgusting no it's not because those pictures a very appalling follow on health and well being. what to do and what not to do. effective hygiene concepts during the corona pandemic good.

news on d w. a diverse monoculture that's exactly what mexico's largest strawberry farming area has created. a better water management and sustainable farming methods. not only. does this protect the environment. it also creates jobs and provides farmers with a stable income. even 3 times of. 16 d w. i subscribe to do you know where your books are something more in the world than what we may be back after 5 point. 3 books on to. the new

year me no yes yes we can hear you in her last years german chancellor when you bring your uncle a man called and you've never tried to have a full surprise yourself with what is possible who is medical training what and moves and also who talk to people who followed her along the way admirers and critics alike how is the world's most powerful woman shaping her legacy joining us from eccles la stops. welcome to in good shape. cond washing is more important than ever enjoying the coverage 1000 pounds to make but sticking to basic hygiene rules is always one of the most effective ways to avoid getting sick bacteria and viruses lurk everywhere sometimes in unexpected places but not all microbes are bad.

hello and welcome to a good ship do you know what those funny birds and me have in common. on ours surfaces well you think it's kind of discuss thing no it's not because those bacteria are very important for. our health and well being thank you know what takes care of all bacteria our own immune system. the immune system we know it as a defense system but it has another much broader function. as we end our microbial cohabitants need to be kept in balance exactly how the immune system does that is extremely complicated and we don't yet fully understand it it has to react but without overreacting. it can't just rush in and let fly at random

it needs to leave its friends in peace for example microbes which help with digestion manufacture vital substances and eliminate pathogens. but how does the immune system know which microbes are the good guys and which are the baddies. as with every system in the body the immune system has regulators that spurred on or slow it down. our microbial cohabitants help with this fine tuning. microbes convinced our immune system to let them stay they soothe it even though it recognizes them as invaders. that's exactly what keeps our immune system in peak fitness it can react quickly to danger but at the same time it's controlled so that it doesn't lash out at everything. as is the case with allergies for example or asthma or auto

immune diseases then the body attacks harmless substances or even. microbes can also defend against pathogens directly. sort of like a gatekeeper to prevent pathogens from entering the body and causing an infection. there is some scientific evidence that our immune system is primarily there to keep our organism in balance with all its microbial passengers the defense against pathogens is only a side effect but an important one. germany goes into the next knock down because of the novel coronavirus and this is why i will continue this show from. the question what can i do for my personal hygiene is especially important in the times of the new coronavirus pandemic so what to do and what not to do will be

the topic of today's top below today i would dream brilliant and i have to be there with prayer. and i live close to do so. dr sasser was a specialist in hygiene and public health related environmental protection and his particular focus has been on optimizing hygiene in hospitals. i don't know professor i've just infected my hands it's often said that washing them is enough do i really have to disinfect them as well to protect myself from the sars cough to virus. also take my mask off we're far enough apart that disinfecting your hands is the best option we should do it in everyday life as well when you get off the subway or bus because you can't wash your hands there it's good to have

a little bottle of disinfectant with you at all times to kill off any viruses. what else should we do to protect ourselves from the virus and you know i did this to use it disinfectant mouthwash because the nose mouth and throat where the virus can multiply we should nip that in the butt and kill any particles as soon as possible. on the proper anti microbial agent mind you not just any old male friends. i believe but that's fine if you want to smell sweet but it won't kill viruses. to go into gargling with the mountains interesting i have another question about masks cloth ones if it be tuesday supposable ones we often wear them all day long on public transport and so on what's the right way to deal with them. after 2 hours a face mask will be sought and viruses on the in

a side slowly move to the outer side so after a couple of hours the surgical mask you're wearing with the blue surface is going to be wet and then it's time to put on a new one life a surgical or medical mask like yours is the mask of choice or someone. who so you recommend this kind of mess but how should i keep it clean. if i touch the surface . is that a mistake or 5 thank you it was good if you know it doesn't matter. just disinfected your hands. put it on. the might of the over one ear and then the other or both at the same time and down over the chin at the top there's a strip of metal. against the nose around the nose and under your glasses until it's nice and snug up when you're breathing normally nothing gets through the mask has 3 layers it's

a good mechanical barrier. coming in these must kind of be disinfected and used again. yeah the mother has a call yes when you get home i turn on the oven preheated to 70 degrees celsius and then put the mask in for half an hour or 3 quarters of an hour. then one another for. 5 other then the mask is entirely free of any corona virus particles and there's no risk of infection. that's from even disposable masks yeah. yes they're called disposable for a very different reason they were developed for medical use in an operating theater everything has to be sterile. so before i put supper in the oven i should bake my mask. or not. exactly when you come home turn on the oven this is important and it's astonishing that people don't

realize this or take it seriously. though when you have to preheat the oven. i mean like with ready to bake rolls from the supermarket it always says preheat the oven before you put them in. and many people 1st put their masks in the oven and then turn it on and pull them out after half an hour that's wrong you need exactly 70 degrees for half an hour if the oven warms up part of that time. 405060 degrees and so on it's not good enough many thanks that was professor astro with us on in good shape. do you know what my favorite place in this house is it's the kitchen it's simply the place to be it's we. eat it's when together with my family especially in times of the coronavirus it's very important to be very good on the kitchen so he's your menu for today. meat maria and camilla

they share a hobby cooking. one of them i also spent a lot of time in kitchens he's a food safety inspector today they're going to cook together. probably. 30 seconds i'll quote you out you need to wash your hands for 30 seconds and you should take off all of your jewelry. it's also advisable to wash your hands now and then while you're cooking that's the safest way of making sure the food stays jam free. the team makes dessert tiramisu the recipe calls for the food inspectors alone bells ringing. off the hens. and so i think we know why there's a salmonella risk. and then sit outside on their eggs is eggs can get contaminated

with germs and bacteria on their passage through the cloaca so separating eggs is quite dark see. if it. gets the yolk comes into contact with the shell. the egg shouldn't be commenced because the bacteria could end up in the actual egg wash your hands after handling eggs and lettuce didn't cut off the 1st one here so you can clean the parts of the letters that are hard to get into this. middle part which is very compact sometimes there's a bit of sand and grit in there. give everything a high rents to make sure all the debts gone. to the does that as well as tiramisu has musk a pony in it this can go off and needs to be kept in the fridge. so no this is already the question is where do we put it will only be serving it in a few hours and will be doing some more cooking in the meantime it needs to be

covered with for oil and kept in the fridge for the time being the tiramisu is left to kill. things can get chaotic in the kitchen and this thanks. paula this is a perfect example let me give you a paper trail you drive your hands on the used and now any germs that were on it are all over your hands it's also a good idea to wipe the chopping board with a paper towel to. paper towels need to be thrown away the next challenge she now is trying to be toxicity. to use all this up today and open tuna fish came in the fridge is not a good idea. clingfilm helps keep salad crisp and bacteria free time to prepare the meat meat and poultry can be easily contaminated if i'm not really sure i rinse it 1st isn't enough to make sure it's well cooked doesn't that get rid

of any bacteria and. really should get rid of any bacteria this piece of meat is dry so i wouldn't expose it to moisture no. i would just cook it it's worth running produce that you need to defrost under cold water drying it with kitchen roll so that any bacteria get rinsed off kind he has to get caught. this meat is fresh and dry so the team can stop preparing it's very important after the turkey has been on it the chopping board has to be cleaned with boiling water there are different roles for the mince meat as you can read here you can keep it opened at a maximum temperature of 2 degrees for 2 days 2 degrees is no problem in the meat counter at the supermarket but a normal fridge isn't that cold. how safe is touching me to poultry with bare

hands. germs double in number every 20 minutes or. so we. will be fine. we can need it with our hands and. the turkey must be well cooked. the meat to. follow camillo and maria looking forward to tucking into that street course many. will have to face off i didn't feel we were being told off as of young people are clueless and he was nice about it we all learned a lot taking these precautions isn't any extra work. and so long as a few basic rules are followed we don't need to worry and we can all just enjoy eating well. in good shape your weekly health show on d

w covers many aspects of health care. we look at what's new in medical treatment nutrition fitness and beauty. we talk about these topics in depth with experts and give you the chance to pose your own questions so do get in touch. if you need to go to a toilet here in germany it's usually not a problem because toilets are literally everywhere. but the world health organization claims that world white nearly 2000000000 people don't have access to top lids and that's a real problem here is that i am glad to meet. the likes there to be a festive atmosphere when she makes her sales pitch but there's a serious matter at stake. for you you know and day i want to show you

how we can make our neighborhood cleaner. what's this and where did these bags land to me if you use them on our roofs in our streets and in our water would you like to change the situation. oh martha. works for people a company that wants to improve access to hygiene make toilets. you know it's all how many of you know about people who are new kind of toilets it will help make things cleaner and healthier it's not just a bag. there are chemicals inside which fight the smell and kill harmful bacteria. that was in 2013 no sewerage no real toilets instead single use plastic bags were meant to solve the sanitation problem in shantytowns on the.
