subsidized green hydrogen costs more than great hydrogen, so there's no economic incentive for it. why would a market driven company use green hydrogen? but it just costs some money and their customers won't pay for it. and so subsidies are central guide and both the german government and the you agreed that they will be in the building in the since in the yard. making industrial facilities more eco friendly cost. a lot of money at this power plant green hydrogen could soon replace natural gas and german energy multinational w e plans to build one of the world's biggest hydrogen production plants on this field. green hydrogen is opening up entirely new business opportunities of muscles not only helps that. we already have large cavern, storage facilities in our portfolio, in which we can temporarily store the large amounts of hydrogen comment generated
4:46 am
losing wind and that and then be able to take that stored hydrogen and make it available to all those industries and gas power plants that are switching to stellan done, all of these are stored energy efficient spike up the energy coordinated tim hoffman says it's important to implement green hydrogen quickly. that way, the existing natural gas pipeline system can be used for distribution, allowing the hydrogen to be transported to every corner of the country. the thing is that i believe that green hydrogen will be indispensable in many sectors, which is why it should have been invested in years ago. but it's only now that the course has been set. the 1st green hydrogen plans in ems lunch should be up and running next year. one good thing about this pandemic for the planet has been the fact that most of us have been locked up at home, denied any real sort of travel,
4:47 am
no exotic holidays. beach time for me. i've been locked up here in the studio. an economic catastrophe because one in 10 jobs around the world are in tourism. and officials rec, in the sector, won't pick up properly again until 2023. and what they could do in the meantime is trying to clean up the business. choosing to fly comes at a high price in terms of emissions. airlines say we might soon change that with 0 emission hydrogen powered aircraft. but is that realistic? the remember when flying was fun, the adventure free spirits and jet set. feelin look at all the fossil fuel that has to be burned to get to fly high flying the fastest way into the climate crisis. how do you but there's hope and innovative ideas. the industry is trying to reduce its carbon
4:48 am
footprint. ah, there are many, many reasons to believe in hydrogen. willow flight soon be eco friendly. what's behind degree hydrogen height? more than 20000 planes when operation around the world before damage. carrying over 4500000000 passengers in 2019 most of them were frequent flyers on domestic slides from the u. s. i'm china. and they accounted for about a quarter of all of the ation emissions. a problem with a very, very tiny minority of the world takes a huge share the emissions, while 80 percent has never direct c o. 2 emissions from the ation accounted for at least 2 percent of global emissions in 2019 doesn't sound like much. unfortunately, it's the most energy intensive activity that human beings can buy. and
4:49 am
while you can get an electric car or swap, need for veggies, there isn't really a viable eco friendly alternative to long distance travel yet. how did we get into this? let's go back to where it all began. the will humans, navigation travel must have been very exciting. you know, a promise of a world that is increasingly connected with jet said activities. flying was so exclusive because it was very expensive. planners like limousine as an ordinary u. s. domestic ground trip costs around $600.00 back in 19 seventy's whopping $4000.00 in today's money. but then the market was the regulators, low cost carriers emerged and growth again. target number one, this year alone,
4:50 am
a 100000000 people in asia. why for the 1st time and evolved from the privilege of a few into a service from our markets. this is a population that it has a supply for, for travel, they want to access the freedom to connect from new ports to new markets. to sky was the limits for the aviation industry until 2021 to corona barrels hit grounding. most of the world's aircraft, but the industry is expected to bounce back, so we think that we'll see a return to pre cove. it levels of traffic by the end of the $24.00. okay. so people want to fly and will fly, but does it have to involve blasting fossil fuel emissions into the air? perhaps not. and the industry has been quite creative in proposing alternatives. i think icon at least 121314 different technologies that have been
4:51 am
proposed over time. stefan good professor for tourism in transport and sweden focused on the asian since the beginning of his academic career. i think we heard everything in replacing aircraft that was early in the ninety's. completely new and for models like this one, blended with technology to say it's carolyn sola ah, glendale fuels, the so called biofuels. we're older age dutch l and company k. lemme for example, tried to cell phone using them. the great thing about biofuels is that we can make them using algae, sugar cane seeds, we don't even from cooking oil. why a fuel is great for c o 2, but there isn't enough of this around. that's why kayla is getting everyone together to produce biofuel on a large scale. kaylin is
4:52 am
a leading airline in biofuels. but k limbs, actual share of biofuels, was only 0.18 percent of their total fuel consumption in 2019. in the end, they were sued for misleading marketing or they recently type about electric aircraft and we were convinced that the electrical revolution would happen in aerospace as well. so we launched a fully electric powered aircraft, which we called the fan won a project that was canceled the year before it was scheduled to make it 1st flight . well, as i did earlier, one measure progress and that is emissions going down. and we haven't seen that yet . now, hydrogen supposed to safe to planet. ah, our belief in what hydrogen were present is most pivotal. why? they say hydrogen has at least 3 striking features. number one is a versatile energy carrier and can power aircraft with high energy demand,
4:53 am
where batteries would be no alternative. hydrogen can be made using renewable energy, meaning the production can be environmentally friendly. this so called green hydrogen is what they want. ok, what we're talking about here is really powering ation with renewable energy. it does not pollute hydrogen when burned in its new c o 2 and almost no air pollution, which of course is the biggest plus. okay. sounds great. but the and 2035 emissions deadline we set off to come in salvage brief, green aircraft, green, certified commercial aircraft 2035. why so late? the core challenges are to really build an aircraft that can safely run on hydrogen . because storage and the whole new design will be needed before hydrogen plans can take off. and the infrastructure for hydrogen needs to be developed from planes to
4:54 am
refueling to production. building up here and hydrogen system takes time and cost a lot of money. and finally, there's simply not enough green hydrogen available yet. the share of renewables worldwide is still too low to produce enough eco friendly hydrogen for the industry . right now, the hydrogen we use is almost entirely made from natural gas and, and call and of course, it's all just a promise and promises has been broken. by the time it does work, it may be too late. the problem with hydrogen is that it doesn't work. yes, well, it's typically not there yet. despite industry assurances, we are seeing that everything we can reduce to see what's the impact and work towards a deal with scientists like stuff, i'm guessing remain skeptical. well, after 25 years,
4:55 am
i think i'm entitled to an opinion. so to tell you where i don't, i don't think the 2nd any invest in everything we've seen in terms of discussion. proposals has always just been proposition for the future. as long as the asian industry's business model is based on fossil fuels and growth emissions will continue to rise. that's why activist and scientists are calling for strict regulation. we need governance to, to address this problem. if we leave it to the lines, i'm very skeptical. we will see a solution. so back to our original question, what our flight soon beat eco friendly put simply, no, they won't. i did will need more time to reach its potential. but we can help reduce emissions now by making choices about how we travel and traveling less whenever possible. technology alone will not be able to save our planet.

5:00 am
managed by from the board. oh oh, the news . this is d w news lines from dun and dozens of people often have drowned in nigeria. also very capsized. it's west and heavy states about was traveling on the night to river when it's also coming up. a big ruling against big oil. does cause or does multinational shelf cost of carbon emissions. we looked at what remained
5:01 am
for emergency companies around the world. ah, ah, hello, i'm looking to mohamad. more than 140 people often have drowned in northwest nigeria . also ferry boat sank on the niger river around 165 people are believed to have been on board when the boat capsized. is this traveling from central niger state to kathy state? when witnesses say it broke into pieces and sank? let's cross over now to the corresponding to fed move when you who is in leg off for us. what is the latest on the rescue operation? fred the state officials have just told me that the skew operations are ongoing. and so far they're not successful
5:02 am
because they haven't gotten any any p for the few such in looking to see if they can get some, some bodies. their thing is because they have no hope that these people i see i do you have any more details on what led to the spoke to kat size? it's believe that it's because this board was cutting almost twice more than twice of the number they're supposed to carry. because this board normally should carry at least 80 people. and we understand that 165 percent as well on this board. and then on addition, there were like construction material and other things that people, these women and children were taking to market. so it's, it's a huge number of the people. and then there is also the board itself was most of
5:03 am
the boards in a way, very old in bud ship. and then of course, even passengers, i know it's not protected. and you know, as you say, these boat accidents are not uncommon in nigeria. what is the reason that this keeps happening? i mean the biggest challenge now in a j a is to improve the water transport in this country because everyone with a bullet to kind of start a business, it's not controlled. even now the officials are saying that, you know, they have been telling people like bo drive that they should come up with measures . but this is obviously if it's kind of re, cuz they, i don't, of people just do whatever they, they want to do. do business with waterways transport,
5:04 am
but then they're there know miss as to protect the population. and these bullets are they all good in good shape and even passengers have know that dad, dad know what i've jackets to protect them in case disaster though it's happening. so there is. 7 a poor c and the government is not really doing anything to improve the situation. ok, t w's federal venue following that story for us in the leg off. thank you. now a quote in the netherlands has ordered royal dutch shell to cotton carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2030. but and bach decision stems from a lawsuits that argued the oil diet was violating human rights by not doing enough to combat climate change. the climate activists in the netherlands celebrate and through landmark judge milligan's royal dutch shows a have court, lube oil and gas company has
5:05 am
a legal responsibility to fight climate change. now shall miss drastically accelerate its efforts to reduce its carbon emissions. for the 1st time that we will manage to pay to address climate change. i'm happy myself for my thinking and all of the children and i will plan. so the case was brought by environmental groups and over 17000 dutch citizens, their success enforcing a major company to abide by parents. climate agreement goals is a 1st very, very happy that we have the groundbreaking ruling where the court is crystal clear. and the fact that cooperation shoot, shoot, and d to contribute to solving the climate crisis based on human rights law, shall meanwhile says it's considering appealing the decision in the back seat of it
5:06 am
. the verdict is disappointing. hard. we are working hard to become a net 0 energy company by 2050 thousands and thousands of people at shell are working on that every day. we are investing billions in that and although we are moving in the right direction, we're now being asked to lead this, that we will have to study this and see what options we have. okay. and the meantime, we are considering whether to kill or not an appeal could drag on for years. but activists won't wait to press on with efforts to whole polluting companies accountable. and fact, experts say the shell decision could trigger away with similar lawsuits around the world. as take a look at other stories making headlines at this hour, at least 8 people have been killed in a mash shooting in san jose. california authorities say a man believes to be a transport worker open fire access to the rail yard. other employees were among the victim, the suspect size at the 3 people have been arrested in northern italy,

kills 155 people in western india. the, the weight of the ocean crashing into india's shore line. with wave after wave pushing in from the bay of been gall water was soon pouring inland. cycling just made landfall with gusts of over 150 kilometers per hour, bearing down on homes and people today lucian flooded coastal towns, turning roads into rivers. i mean, we've never seen waves like that. come in from the sea before one. we're all very scared. i have no idea what's going to happen to people. but it's the rural population that's suffering most over $1200.00 villages had to be evacuated. displacing 50000 people,
5:09 am
there's nothing left. my son and i fled to my home is destroyed. there's nothing like as the flight phone moves inland, it's also disrupting efforts to deal with india's surging corona virus. pandemic testing and vaccination had to be suspended in several districts. they will be no return to normal here anytime soon. now, olympic officials insist the games in tokyo. we'll go ahead in july to spite mounting pressure to scrap the event. one of japan's most prestigious newspapers has joined the chorus, calling for the picks to be cancelled, fearing that it could lead to a massive spike in current of virus infections, but organized a se. they've put a comprehensive plan in place to ensure the safety of athletes and the public audit because i'm looking forward to the olympics. you know, i'm not worried the official stance remains the same. the games will go on no
5:10 am
matter what. even if the current state of emergency, because of corona virus, is extended moments, you know, i think the game should take place. if everyone sticks to the measures to prevent infection, then there won't be a problem. vaccination campaign is picking up happening are very careful. but official polls show that at least 80 percent of the population don't once again and unusually, some have even taken to the streets. often in solitary protesters since mass demonstrations in japan are rare. they criticize the high cost of staging the olympics and the gentrification of areas where sports facilities have been built. and there are other objections you can do. the olympic and paralympic games are being misused, to hide the aftermath of the nuclear disaster at fukushima in 2011. and to show the world that the problems in fukushima have been solved. it's a lie, we cannot tolerate. the tonight we have completely changed my opinion after seeing
5:11 am
the large number of people around the world who died from corona virus. and i'm sure that the athletes have worked so hard. but the olympics under corona virus conditions. i know i really want the games to be called off a petition initiated by politician. can you want me to cancel the olympics has been put online in just 2 days, 200000 sign a 1st for and and since then it is more than doubled. more than a year, people have faced severe restrictions because of the pandemic song, just barely getting by and now during this are scarcity, how can you justify a mega event like the olympics and for much fear? and there are more and more dissenting voices from all walks of society. he shows us a protest poster hanging from a window at this hospital in tokyo. that 2 may be 1st in japan, and there's no mistaking its meaning. give us a break. the olympics are impossible and medical capacity has reached its limits. stop the olympics. yet. the olympic countdown continues,

despite all the protests at some sports news that in the euro per league final and poland league is villareal have been crowned champions. they beat in the side matches the united 1110 in a tense pellet penalty shootout. victory is the spanish site. the 1st ever major honor and finally, a children's classic that left a lasting impact on modern culture. alice's adventures in wonderland by lewis carroll was published back in 18. 65. and since then, this inspired everything from psychedelic music to celebrity chef has been dylan dulls extravagant. bach turtle soup, while the victoria and albert museum in london is now exploring is curious appeal. and this characters the cheshire cat, ah, the door mouse, the queen of hearts, the march hare and the mad hatter,
5:13 am
alice in wonderland is one of the most famous children's books in the world. ah, victoria and albert museum in london has dedicated an entire exhibition to the famous tale and to its enduring cultural influence. the fascination with alice is almost an article in a way it is such a huge phenomenon around the globe. the book itself position 1865 with philip fest with it now we were trying to answer that question in the exhibition and why, how one's lamb become this phenomenon and not only within literature but across film design, photography, fashion, science, math. every, every aspects of our life. it all began in 18. 62 in oxford, england. inspired by the scientific advances of the time university lecturer,
5:14 am
charles dodson invented a story for 10 year old alice little, the daughter of a friend aa 3 years later, dodson published a story under the pseudo nym louis carol. it was an instance sensation theater designer tom piper designed the rooms for the exhibition, taking his queues from the victorian pursuit of knowledge, a library that comes to life with pages floating through space. it's really using all the skills i would use and theater to create this kind of a massive well that hopefully will really draw people in. i really feel they've gone down the rabbit hole into this sort of amazing sensory experience. and then come out the other side. so the full of questions i guess, and hopefully one from surrealism and the psychedelic art of the 1900
