carefully planned after a photo op the 2 men spoke privately for 40 minutes the ayatollah reportedly telling the pope he also believes christians should be able to live in peace in iraq and enjoy the same rights as other iraqis it's a powerful statement from sistan he who rarely makes his opinions known when he does shiites in iraq and around the world take note. later the pope arrived in the ancient city of moore known as the birthplace of abraham the biblical patriarch revered by christians muslims and jews a fitting place for an interfaith meeting where francis underscored his message for . peace does not demand the winners or losers but rather brothers and sisters who for all the misunderstandings and hurts of the past are journeying from conflict to unity. in praying for peace in the middle east the

pope singled out syria ravaged by a decade of civil war and he condemned religious extremists who used terrorism to achieve their aims. on sunday pope francis will see firsthand the destruction left behind by the terrorist islamic state when he visits the group's former stronghold in the northern iraqi city of mosul. warless i'm joined now by dave double your religious affairs correspondent writing i want to so the pope met with one of the most powerful figures and shiite islam grand ayatollah ali al sistani walk us through the significance of this meeting. i think by and large you have a few said one of the most significant few years of shia islam and obviously somebody that weighs enormous power really just but also political in the region

and among a population that actually trysts transcends the boundaries of iraq so shia communities in the region including iran to some degree and certainly syria are listening to whatever is sistani saying so he said dorismond of the pope's amanda's and for not only peaceful coexistence bed full rights and sort of a peaceful environment in which the security of the christian community. he safeguarded is really you know a major major gesture that should have a tremendous impact so i mean you know it's very difficult to under play. there we saw in the media the result particularly because he's done it's not somebody even to you know bubbly public expressions so that itself makes it very particular and what ingests service but realistically what can the pope on this trip as far as interface dialogue. well obviously i mean interfaith dialogue cannot be

reduced to a 4 day operation so i mean whatever whatever conversations are had and whatever goodwill is shown ultimately the question you know that we are asking us a global community about peace and into religious relations is one that in iraq at least will be resolved over the weeks months and years to come generally the way that the vatican operates that we have you know particularly this policy is that we have the bow bringing the h one to the table and underlining it and then sort of groups of diplomatic forces within the vatican in conjunction with people on the ground do the sort of the work of the new show work on the my new show in trying to promote their agenda that they agree on something that we've seen wind about even has been active in international global operations across the world and i think that that's what we should expect here as well. for once the pope schedule for the rest of us.

well the most important the most important thing about your happiness i mean if you will be in muscle and there will be the. tomorrow which is expected to gather a couple of 1000 people and of course you know this was one of the main are use of concern for both people looking at it in criticism because it could turn into a super spreader. you know event given that iraq is in the middle of us or you were rose in the middle of the pandemic and they have not you know resources to cope with what they already have but you do manage the amount of people that probably would move around people this it they bomb us so d.c. sort of the question at the same time tomorrow he will be giving a sermon he will be talking to the public so we should also be you know paid attention to right back to the year religious affairs correspondent thank you very

overcontrolled pleading. burns and blisters. it can even lead to bone marrow failure even today anyone who ventured too close to fukushima as reactor core wouldn't survive long. 10 years after the triple core melt own radiation is still extremely hazardous today some 7000 people are working on decommissioning the power plant but due to high contamination they are only allowed on site a few days a month on march 11th 2011 a tsunami struck japan's coast and caused the nuclear plants to fail but how can we clean the radiation zone b. can't even access. with robots. it's actually not that simple not even all robots can withstand the radiation they're exposed to in fukushima disaster zone but more and that's later energy provider tepco in tech giant to shiva teamed up to develop robots that could help clean up fukushima's radioactive rooms the challenges they have to face are relentless some pass the test others not quite

here are 3 of the most exciting robots from the last decade. of the biggest questions in the fukushima cleanup remains. where to start. parts of the buildings were destroyed when the reactor exploded the blast caused walls and floors to collapse and reduced sensitive equipment to twisted hulks of metal the situation varies in each building but over consumption ated when radioactive material was vented from the reactor containment vessels. this is where so current and rosemarie come into play the robots joe was developed in 2015 to inspect the buildings but that's easier said than done some floors can only be accessed through extremely narrow and steep stairways no simple feat for robots but that's exactly what rosemary and sue courier were built to do. in addition

rosemary was fitted with a gamma camera that can detect and display radioactivity. you can see that here in the colored images the recordings were to be shared on a wireless network and that's when engineers faced the next challenge. nuclear power plants are designed with a number of safety measures and built to withstand extreme conditions. wireless signals barely make it through the thick concrete walls of the reactors that's where scurrah comes in the robot functions as a signal transmitter and helps rosemary relay its recordings to the outside world. both robots were partially successful in their mission they enabled authorities to get their 1st overview of the reactor after the fall out. the scorpion was the great hope for fukushima and 2017 it was meant to inspect the spots where radioactive lever 1st elite out of the reactor vessel joining the 2011

disaster the nucular fuel rods had heated up to 1200 degrees celsius causing them to melt through their metal casings the japanese government invested a lot of money in developing this little robots it was named for its appearance the cameras mounted on a retractable arm that hangs over the robots body like a scorpion stale it was tested and improved for months until it was tiny enough to squeeze into the containment chamber. the only way to get inside was a 14 centimeter wide hole in the concrete wall created just for the robots but before the scorpion could set out on its mission in units to the exploration suffered major setbacks one week prior and with a robust designed to clear the way for the scorpion failed its comrades the cold and to the extreme radiation. nevertheless the scorpion was slated to deploy unlikes occur and rosemary wireless data transfer wasn't an option because the

robots had to crawl to deep instead it was left dragging a heavy cable along if successful it would locate the radioactive waste that had leaked out of the reactor vessel so it could be salvaged in the future. everything went smoothly at 1st. the scorpions recordings were transmitting with i would say hitch. and it was getting ahead well. but then. just 3 meters before station the scorpion simply stopped what happened we still don't know for sure maybe it got stuck or maybe the radiation was too much to handle. in the end the researchers decided to cut the scorpion loose and abandon the mission sorry little guy but. after the scorpion had failed researchers had to come up with another solution to find the leaks material they gave up on units 2 for the time being and concentrated

on reactor 3 instead but there are a whole new set of challenges lie ahead when the reactors exploded in 2011 for containment chambers were flooded to cool the reactors course the perfect part would have to be small enough to maneuver through a tight hole in the wall strong enough to drag along a cable that could transfer images and sarah as an emergency rescue line to swim. quite a tall order but the japanese engineers found a compact solution little some fish after losing the scorpion they weren't taking any more chances they tested little some fish for months and pools fitted with a camera and a tiny propeller powerful enough to navigate it through the dark event it was time to send little sunfish out. the mission was nerve wracking. a pilot student through the water with a controller reminiscent of a video game. on day one none of the material transmitted was any good. but then on

the 2nd day of the mission the little robots bumped into a waxy mass on the floor of the containment chamber the radioactive core of congealed into a solid lump and dropped to the bottom of the flooded structure success. is now secure rosemary scorpion until some fish were just a few of the robots built to understand and repair the ruins of fukushima in the last 10 years their main objective was to explore thanks to them we have a rough idea where the radioactivity is highest and where the radioactive waste has settled in the coming years the challenge will be to. coverage this waste here 2 robots will be dispensable robo diggers are already being tested for their missions in the hopefully not too distant future. to panoz along the ring of fire making it a hotspot for natural disasters to save lives researchers are developing new rescue

railroad lots can go in and got their information. so in broad terms these robots unable access to places where it's too dangerous for humans to enter. the can either go to the user applications where robots completely inactive part. of them whether surgical procedures or everyday situations snakes have often served as models for industrial design their flexible bodies are the perfect blueprint for agile robots. saving the heavy sticks are interesting creatures they can move without legs that's the 1st aspect about this mysterious. animal that makes my curiosity. go see no quarter or up aim isn't simply to imitate snakes. we want to create a snake like inspired robots that's better to snakes. well we all of our sleek

robots can climb up ladders and has a very even and slick surface and the more there are no protruding cords the can slip into the wall but wouldn't cover the snow over joy it will fit into each other because the courts move that so many because i can change of too close on the monarch is more lets it bend still more smoothly because you know you design them and that is vital to rescue missions japan is prone to natural disasters earthquakes are common in the country must be prepared for typhoons tsunamis and the catholic adoption ever since the kobe earthquake in 1905 let's you know it's been developing technologies to help to. to deal with a lot of so regionally i worked on space exploration robots. but then one of my students died in the great hunch an earthquake. was that's when i decided to focus my research on disaster and response robots. to go the snake part is operated using

a controller and comes equipped with a camera and numerous sensors engineers considered many different scenarios when creating the robot for instance when searching for survivors after a natural disaster the bot might need to be able to climb up a pipe. outside or inside. ladder. or even slither its way through pike's. her audience to ask you to do who will or at 1st i wanted to create robots that rescue people the villain i changed my mind you daryn. when disasters strike an urban area it's incredibly hard to find victims buried under the rubble when you go out on the net. as to what the rescue workers will do to

around here and there we don't have much success that will not help to what's going to trial and error process that wastes a lot of valuable time during which people want to donate not this month but. for me tashi much so know also designed this rescue robot the prize winning. its 4 legs and tank like trads let it go places humans kept a multi-functional arm effortlessly opens doors and retrieves objects. these robots are still under development but soon they could be sent out on rescue missions and help save lives.

a lot in store for you today on today's program so let's take a quick look out what we have coming up. we'll visit the company booking a fossil such as reliant on the power of the sun in order to avoid fossil fuels. when mitch a student from germany who has found the source of the bush solution to you would hold blue jeans and we'll talk with pollen is in genetic engineering which claims what you do when species die out. but 1st let's head to rwanda we know that plastic bags have been banned in gali for several years but their use is even criminal offense is not all or has the country gone even further to reduce plastic in everyday life well not exactly steal very ideal for cycling is becoming more popular let's see how plastic is being turned into a rule much area to make other things.

appear stick in a country where the material is supposedly for p.t. and some of us apply it to speaker incidents when steve plantation rwanda is one of the 20 biggest producers in the world more than 800000 hectares of it an area twice is not just the city of paris spread across this motion green hills the t. harvested here is very valuable but they don't plant stake it would into was nearly as much pollution. what you call whole while pulling in is we need to simply back some plastic covers without bending becomes difficult to get the desired quality because the seed leaves depend on the moisture to grow well to get the necessary a train it's just like a mushy here in which you move the members of the $4000.00 strong corporative use more than $2000000.00 plus to tube's another plastic materials

a chair and the capital kigali the government is waging a war against plastic the punishment for the production import and sell of single use plastics is now up to a year in jail and are mentally denser remini recognizes that the journey to a future without plastic will require a lot of creativity and present them as we move on we act out of bonn when you have more tentative when we still have to look for better or tentative we really are always preferable but only putting new players a framework of or dealing with. back to use of plastics. and terry gentle care for their. plants is one of the company is looking for an intelligent way to deal with excess plastic waste they employ 11 teams that regularly travel the country collecting it they use what they get primarily to make

fun products after all teeth are in the early one having difficulties finding the right to use for their siblings. we talked to him. did one night environment i jumped. on do we agreed on we teach type of plastic needed any i'd be cut off. that's where we started making i've got to to being. which is used to me you need not sorry. we produce also plastic sheeting. since then they've been manufactured in plastic materials for nurseries but the point isn't just are meant to be friendly production once the process has started it's meant to be sustainable. what do we do we want to talk around we know there where are the then located. after using the they are necessary our product we go back they are new would bring

back they're there they're used to pressing waste and also we do the same the same walk. the furnace from the us a fire corporative are part of the cycle the middle have the conditions during training courses and cysts and remind all of you that the plastics you are left with after planting to seedlings are not meant for other uses it must be returned. whenever you see plastic please don't leave it there this is a way to increase the productions from our farms and to save the environment they're cool for ever been to protection isn't just empty talk the corporative is committed itself to the cause pledge incident is whatever it purchases to be recycled to use a deal that's been else. every farmer who gets the silliness must ensure the return plastics corresponding to the number of ceilings each to their 4

will make sure they're all trucked and delivered back to her 2nd plant that is also a benefit because a plant pays us for the amount delivered and they end its progress for the environment more business for the co-operative and another milestone on the road to rwanda becoming one of the environmentalists cleanest countries in africa. yes created really food new planes from used materials this is what a secular economy could look like in the future now with that in mind a young student from germany wondered what could be done with the millions of lives of clothing that's a no longer wanted at least for blue jeans it seems to have found an answer let's stop with.

piles and piles of used clothes a loss ends up in the trash. that bore the dutch design student term funded lure so together with a charity bellina start monsieur own he set up a used clothing depo. can text also sold for $2.00 to $4.00 euros per kilo it's also if i do it came up with the idea for his new blue jeans. he has the denim shredded and processes that in his workshop when mixed with water the fibers palm to form a soft fleece the passion is employed it right on to the fleece which strengthens the fabric and eliminates the need for paper passion when i started to put down the kids through small parking like that it was very important to me that i focus on the concepts and ideas of circular economy that everything is regenerated. when the new denim is moistened the excess that can simply be plucked off pieces left and this added to the next batch of. fun to do it as we see it in the walls and various

processed into fish food oh you know a case here is bad as tonnage into a delicacy in restaurants africa takes you to the no then you're up to no way. hauling a trap in from the ocean bed do it i had only set it out a day before had a depth of 180 meters but one day was enough for the tour guide to almost fill the cage with king crabs a delicacy all over the world yet the christie ations also pose a growing ecological threat jobber the water you're good to eat bread with rocky outcrops right ever your. leader no to catch we need only from the brand to the back 15 centimeters. harvesting king crabs has brought unheard of prosperity to norway's economically constrained far north. it's even

enriched the remote fishing village of figure in the us so destitute in 1989 the residents put it up for sale in an advert. young people then were moving away because there was no work. now the village has been revived hosting bed and breakfast and even a bee stroll all things to the king crab. fisherman late was among the 1st to discover the non-native species after the nace. soviet researchers had released them into the barents sea in the 1950 s. . but was unaware of that when he found the monster crab and his nets one day. they don't call me for what they were the 1st crabs we caught the i weighed all 10 to 12 kilos. we want to feel

completely by surprise i think about 40 of the other one of the crabs hadn't turned up we wouldn't have any fish processing in turn to go nor any fishing boats or at most 2 or 3 but today we have 15 or 16 boats right in. the explosive spread of the king crab is a boon to the fisherman but environmentalists and scientists are alarmed the voracious predators are being spotted further and further south they're expected to reach the scottish coast soon and can even adapt to the war mediterranean waters. and wherever these crabs become established they have devastating effects on of the marine life on the seabed. some species like mussels and starfish have disappeared completely. the king crab is also known as the monster crab it has no natural enemies and poses

a threat to every other living thing on the seabed so fisheries authorities have made the quotas generous rio holding those locations seem we have the right to catch a 10 crabs for our own use a free person per year. on crab is worth $900.00 kroner. 90 euro's right in our pockets multiplied by 10 and you know for a 1000 euros if you're eating a look 3 delicacy for free that's. what. serves as gas after only a short time in the kitchen can otherwise be had only and europe's and asia's finest restaurants norway exports over 2000 tonnes of king crab all around the world annually while environmental concerns about invasive species continue the tourists savor it spicy meat and the norwegian authorities hope the high fishing quotas will help keep its population under control.

a larger population and bringing the animals back from the brink of extinction. hopefully there was. something else that there you may just find a bit of. what does that mean. to bacteria to plant seeds before planting. can help. drive. the process an initiative is trying to. get. here in the northwestern part of ghana maybe cultivate soybeans for dealing. in the fields to care for half full hectares of land. 4 years ago for the little part in

a training session for sustainable agriculture since then had crop yields and the profit have increased. in addition to from each as recently as 2nd business she sells fish textiles in the communities around her village. i used to have 3 backspace. season so they're using the know it's $7.00 to $8.00 bags. they're not for long she learned how to inoculate seeds during a training session conducted by the local company green today the farmers. also taking part. in the method is simple the seeds together with water before dried she had bacteria added bacteria keypads the way each cow pct must be more just. once dried the not later seeds must be so

precise distances to one another thanks to this method the farmers no longer have to use chemical pesticides. more than 500 farmers have been trained by the company so far. mohammad's to cheap who came up with the idea for the training sessions he actually studied business but soon switched to i.q. cultural philosophy. his team instructs the farmers and how to run their farms in more sustainable ways such as by using the plant remains for compost or bio coal. the factors of kidnapped plants for example i especially well suited to enriching depleted soils who run this attack or brigades and then the war so how reduced by which is very good. progress while properties like water holding capacity and its oil remediation it does open ocean that up and i mean it had would have been a gas like. that to remediate. the farmers can even test the make up of the

soil if needed the samples that then sent to the company's own lab although the training sessions for the small scale farmers are free the sole analysis cost between one and 30 euros depending on what exactly is being tested for farmers it's worth it because they learn exactly what this oiled means controls and the use of assess if you know anything made this prevent in and listen out for some of these excesses and i doubt whatever the case and run off into surface whatever the score simple is sheen says at the source software what are for and in mass and i don't live in an instance since having his soil tested farm a judge sure conlan rarely uses fertilizers anymore before the analysis he found exclusively soybeans but now that changed. the 3 years ago when i
