delving into the presence i would never have thought that judaism could believe. so my phone, i believe, is jewish in europe. the 2 port documentary starts july 5th on d w. i the i me if there is one color that's the embodiment of today's zeitgeist, it is green. green stands for lush, chemical, free grasslands for emission 3 mobility, and for a future in a healthy climate. it is no wonder sustainability has become a top issue for companies, but are these projects profitable and all the actually as green as the peer?
5:31 pm
the green economy can work. that's our topic this week and made when it comes to the things that are essential to us pretty much nothing goes without water and looking at the planet. there's plenty of it just not the kind we can use right away . most of it is salt water and less than one percent is drinkable, the w christian carla on the tradition of dissemination and whether a berlin startup could have falls a global water crisis. in 2015, a series of drought started to dry up this damp, the source of almost half of the water available to cape town, south africa in this satellite time last, you can literally see the storm water decreased month by month in 2018. the city was approaching day 0000, approaching shorthand for the day. the taps run dry and people would have to, to,
5:32 pm
to get water ration cape down was the 1st major city to risk running out of water. but it's not going to be the last jakarta, london, beijing, tokyo could all base their own de 0 in the coming decade. the most parts of the water, at least to form of it, are experiencing somewhat to stress those or discuss the gap between in mind and supply. your water is how can that be? our blue planet is washed with water. more than 1000000000 trillion leaders to be precise. the problem is that 97 percent of the earth water is faulty and most of the fresh water is frozen in ice cost. less than one percent of the earth water is drinkable. that makes one solution, especially promising validation. you sell a nation,
5:33 pm
these hello nation. this l a nation seems like a pretty straightforward solution. you take that undrinkable, salt water, remove the salt, and end up with an unlimited supply of fresh water. so why don't we not building more desalination plants? the cell a nation is a natural process, has been known for millennia. as the ancient greek philosopher, aristotle noted the sun turns ocean water into vapor, which then condenses again and falls back as rain. compatriots took note sailors boiled sea water on long journeys. romans used clay filters to traps old. these are still the 2 basic principles used today. thermal desalination uses heat falls, boiling point is a lot higher than water. so if you boil salt water,
5:34 pm
only fresh water will evaporate, leaving all the salt behind membrane desalination use as pressure. water here, colored in red for clarity, is present through a membrane that is only partially permeable. fresh water can pass through here, covered in blue, but the salt is trapped on the other side. this technology didn't improve much until the 19th century when industrialization and population growth encouraged more research. population growth is the main driver far into the water scapes. months. ok, here is an environmental scientists with more than 30 years experience in water management ship. it is dance, middle east and north africa, egypt. that region has population of about 5 percent of the population,
5:35 pm
but just as one percent of the water resources and soon another factor could make desalination even more crucial global warming. the as the climate warms, more water will evaporate. and as aristotle noticed more vapor equals, more clouds equals more rain. but that rain won't call evenly map shows how precipitation will change as the climate heat up. regions in purple will get more re those and orange less. now compared with this other map, please read does indicate areas that are already experiencing water scarcity today . dry areas like hello fornia in the middle east will have even less rainfall. other countries like india will have more rain in the monsoon season, but left and the dry season when people need it most. this will make diesel,
5:36 pm
a nation even more popular. and this rudy are starting to explode. i'd say since the late eighty's and ninety's, but especially in the last 20 years you've seen a big accelerated edward jones is a ph. d candidate who has put together a state of the art outlet on the status of desalination. nowadays we have around $16000.00 p solutions. loans which are producing more or less answered 1000000 meters keeps the water per day. but take a closer look at this map. if you look at so much the sally needed water we produce on the school. currently, 71 percent is produced in high income country. that's because desalination is very costly. boiling billions of leaders of water takes a lot of energy release, be availability of oil and especially fossil fuels makes the thermal persistence
5:37 pm
cheaper for other types, it can be, i think, 25 or 30 times more expensive. but that energy doesn't have to come from fossil fuels. the thought up in berlin has a sustainable alternative. my name is kim, i'm the co founder and ceo of the company. i bought a light. so i moved from west germany to berlin. just to see what you and also been solving your water if you like. yes, please me. so the water come basically from the home, sorry for the system. and after that zone through the booster bomb 14 by the water is fresh to the membrane. need system is water and the green energy. that's the key to the company's success. this is one of their
5:38 pm
plants in kenya with the solar panels. keep the cost of water low in villages like this, where electricity is not available. ah, ah, the water for free electricity from the solar wind for free. so we can now produce $1000.00 seater for $0.50. this price is actually comparative to clean water from the river or from the bowl. but there's another problem. what do you do with this water that's left behind? so we thought of this, so look out of the water to produce fresh water. but now this is still contained within our substance, but it's just a smaller volume. so it's most ot ah, this is water. it's called brine and the global that when we produce more brine
5:39 pm
then we produce new talented pipe with this coming out of the discipline. discharging, tried to move in, and as it flows out in the channel temperature, and also the, the oxygen available. and this is what's causing actually the organisms more damage, just the lack of oxygen that basically suffocates. ah, bryan can also contain chemicals harmful to see. life needs to be a better plans for the industry of dealing with this broad, where producing more waste with no plans. but what of this waste could become a resource? tomatoes, seaweed, and certain fish can tolerate high salinity. moria light uses brian to cultivate them in tubs like this is also the opportunity for the soul recovery and the metal
5:40 pm
recovery. at the moment, the technology is automated, about fire brian management. but those are only very small scale. the challenge is that all weekend transform those small scale technologies into a large scale operation. desalination is not a magic formula. the process must become more efficient before low income countries can afford it. nation plans must convert from fossil fuels to renewable. energy is to limit emissions and the whole industry needs to come up with a plan to deal with this. brian, what facilities like this, already a lifeline for many communities. it's very important to realize that these nations is just a really need to work towards solving challenges of dissemination. this is a gradual process, which we love again happened overnight, but i could teach that daily, that at the same time,
5:41 pm
giving that to the potential of nature to watch or a town is doing a lot better and the dam is full. the city was rushing to build desalination plants to avoid daisy row, but the solution wasn't desalination or any other technology. no one should showering more than twice a week. i said the flush was only when you really need to flush the made of a fit in trying to use possible and have to have water as if your life depends on people. came water wise, they radically changed their water use. we use it consciously and mindfully trying to save valued water for the essential and be replaced with substance that it is.
5:42 pm
and that's how it should be. by the way, you can watch videos like the one you just saw on our youtube channel planet 8th, which also has lots of other content on sustainability. now we are a business magazine and we do have a liking for numbers and d's. they are really alarming around 820000000 people are suffering from hunger around the world. and at the same time, about $1300000000.00 tons of food go unused every year. due to the lack of proper logistics or food gets wasted. because pears and peaches don't look as fresh as we would like. increasing shelf life could improve things. and here's an idea for how to achieve that fusion vegetables rotting in fields or during transportation to consumers. according to the un food and agricultural organization or f, a o, some 14 percent of food is loss,
5:43 pm
dr. harvesting. and before it reaches the market retailer. if you go to a particular country or particular, you are likely to see varying levels of food losses. and these, depending on the situation, would go up even to 50 percent. if you're talking about liquid fruits and vegetables. for example, if the format does not find the market for that particular food product in a timely basis. now this is huge amount of food. and if you, you convert it into monetary quantity. this is a lot and if you read it as well into a loss to the environment or the environmental impact that is also huge. when that happens, water, pesticides, and resources used for transportation or all waste as some 7 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions can be traced back to food loss and
5:44 pm
waste. the chief causes include problems, a transportation, and refrigeration. the power from harvest a kitchen table is a race against time. a california based company appeal sciences might be able to help founder james rogers and his team have developed a liquid that could extend the shelf life and fruits and vegetables appeal is a little exactly like it sounds peel and we apply to the surface of fresh produce you can't see it, you can't, you can't do it. but it slows down the factors because the fruit to age help even without refrigeration appeal as a liquid coating that dries into a kind of edible skin. the coding helps the produce last up to 4 times as long that buys time, time to transport, the produce to storage,
5:45 pm
and to eat it before it spoils. appeal is based on liquids and other natural compounds found in fruits and vegetables. their extracted and blended into a taylor made solution by combining them in the right ratios when they dry a dry into an arrangement that allows us to control the factors that cause fruit to age, which are basically water going out and oxygen going. yeah. so same materials were just teaching them a new trick by finding the right formula to apply to different kinds of properties in order to give them the same kind of protection that you have on a lemon. on a cucumber or on a bench wholesaler nature's prize cell, some 120000 tons of fruits and vegetables a year they import from 59 countries,
5:46 pm
especially latin america. in rotterdam, the importance produced continues to ripen before it sorted, packed, and shipped to the retailer. sportage and waste is a common problem in the industry, but the company hopes to minimize these losses in the future and throws food away. they actually bought it and they don't use it. and that costs money. so in the chain, if we don't throw it away, you don't spend that money wrongly with a b o. we can reduce food weight was 50 percent at the retailer level food that used to london. the trash can now be sold every day. natures pride treats 6 tons of cars with appeal before sending them to supermarket shelves across europe. the main customers are in scandinavia, germany and the netherlands natures, prizes the 1st company in europe to use appeal. they're planning to start treating other kinds of fruits and vegetables. soon. i started coming by air by
5:47 pm
using a few, we might give them the possibility to go buy boats and that is of course, the same weekend. so there's lots of hope and so far the new technology is mainly being used by large companies. smaller ones can't afford it, but appeal says it's planning to change that with a new business model in which retail chains and supermarkets pay smaller producers and farmers to install the necessary setup. in return, they receive longer lasting produce farmers in places that haven't had access to national and international markets could also benefit. and so the opportunity is to be able to use appeal to reduce the transport taishan costs and increase the quality. so it's not a, it's a way. ready for a some, a small producer to grow something that's intrinsically valuable to collect. some of that about extending the shelf life of produce will help. but it won't end the
5:48 pm
problem of food. lawson waste for the transportation and refrigeration systems will also need to be improved and expanded and consumers will have to stop throwing food away and start only by what they'll actually ease. but if we more food than we can actually eat, it doesn't take long until flies and other creatures starts warming. the football most people don't feel particularly drawn to insects, which could be one of the reasons why pesticides sales here in germany have been at a steady high. while recent studies show the flying insects and german nature reserve have declined by more than 75 percent in the last 27 years with industrial farming being the most likely cause what some call in sexual get it has been starting to change people's minds and the business model of the beast, one pesticide maker is off nicely. well i because i put warnings on my product.
5:49 pm
my bank are skeptical yet, so i worry about my future if it can be for comments, things like his father before him. humph. the tree house makes household insecticides the family run. some had been operating in the same way for decades until these 2 artists called its purpose into question me the made me think to come and look at insect rec house in the artists joined forces. they organized and event to raise awareness for insect preservation.
5:50 pm
in the village, residents ended up collecting 902 flies, one lucky specimen. eaten one, apprise the fly. erica was treated to an all expenses paid for the weekend with her owners. flushed included, the dental child will be all the day we've been out and about with erica. not one person has given us funny looks or called us a bit loopy. and on the to get me the event prompted from citrix. like how to put his company's future on the line. he's invested around 2000000 new rates in the conservation of insects and other small creatures. the project also include setting up green roofs to compensate for the animals. his products have killed. debrief with his headquarters has so become a home for insects me. mine for though my product is
5:51 pm
kill insemination, but i don't see a contradiction in making insecticides while at the same time helping insects from keller to save. just really always this just a marketing ploy because these days, products that combine environmentally friendly credentials tend to sell better. mm. me can market isn't about marketing. i want to see the market reduced as seen in the warnings on my product called one product. product has a big label about the dangers involved, ways for them, cultures, but designer hands decrease. house is now introduced alternatives that he feels more comfortable with just the live trap for fruit flies. the insect is attracted to the spite of vinegar and then trapped in the cylinder to
5:52 pm
escape unharmed. that's what kind of to move really going for this product, because it's not obvious why you should save fruit flies. it company has seen turnover drops by 25 percent, his profit to fall and even more so wouldn't simply selling the phone be the logical business move call from that effect, selling would mean surrender and giving up responsibility. it would only benefit my rivals who would carry on with insect decide vitamin index card staying in business . i have the leverage to generate awareness and to show that this transformation is possible to get out on society. the content on that house is keen to demonstrate his commitment to that message, as he piles up the company comp how to create a new inspector isis. but he can't say for sure when his own metamorphosis will be complete. i got to admit, i did it
5:53 pm
a couple of weeks ago, took my 1st pandemic holiday flight along with maybe 20 others on the plane even without depend demik deviation. business is facing enormous challenges with sustainable flying. being high on the list, our reporter then her shalt took a look at a company that's taking a step in the right direction. almost 7000 leaders of asian fuel have been pumped into the tanks of this cargo plane. and they're not even half full yet. the flight from franklin to shanghai, china is a long one, but this flight is something special. the congo subsidiary of germany's largest airline. lufthansa is operating this as a carbon neutral flight using sustainable ation fuel. and reasoning is basically a fuel based on the plant oil. so the fuel and that only the carbon dioxide the plants that previously absorbed it doesn't have any extra seal to prevent an
5:54 pm
aircraft operated with sustainable a v ation fuel. it miss up to 80 percent less greenhouse gases. but the climate friendly fuel costs between $3.00 and $6.00 times more than regular jack fuel. still some freight customers want to improve their carbon footprint and are willing to foot the bill like logistics company, devi shanker, which chartered this flight the climate neutral biofuel is produced at this refinery in poor val finland. an hour's drive from helsinki. for more than 10 years, shami ya here, i knew has been working on replacing the kerosene in evasion fuel with sustainable raw materials. the production process is using waste and received 2 types of oils and facts as material as used cooking, los alamos, for the future we are exploring new role materials such as municipal solid waste. $100000.00 tons of biofuel are produced here every year. that's
5:55 pm
a drop in the bucket compared to the 300000000 metric tons that the world's airline operators consume annually. and says that a breakthrough in climate for the aviation fuels will require government action. what we need is it's what the government's do to create the market and either create the requirements for, for industry to become more sustainable. other major carriers such as japan's a, n a l. friends, kale, m and american airlines have also started purchasing sustainable asian fuel for the airlines shouting their green credentials is proving to be a good marketing tool to win over passengers and freight companies want to top that bio fuel will soon be more than just a marketing tool, but a real alternative for the aviation sector. that's our show. thanks for watching and
5:57 pm
the the the, the the the ah. how does the virus spread? why do we panic by and when will all this and just 3 of the topics that we covered in a weekly radio broadcast. if you would like any more information on the krona virus or any other science topics, you should really check out our podcast. you can get it wherever you get your podcast. you can also find the game w dot com, forward slash science. i was interested in

6:00 pm
the, the news . this is the w 9 from berlin. the last german soldiers get home from afghanistan, berlin, and this is a peacekeeping mission after many years. but afghans left behind worry about what will happen to them when all the international troops have gone on the program that the heat wave and go from the west and canada, dozens die as temperatures hit, record breaking 49 degrees celsius and swings, revenge decades in the making of the european football championships
6:01 pm
in the old rivals, germany, the 1st time is enough to gain 5 years dumping them out of the competition. ah, ah, phil, go welcome to the program. the last german soldiers station in afghanistan have arrived home and 80 step in the phased withdrawal of international troops from the water country. the military mission has been germany's most expensive and deadly since world war 2. more than 150000 german soldiers served in african. it's done over 20 years. 59 lost their lives. many afghans and i worried about the return of the taliban militants, and what will happen next in their homeland? as far as my alley latino is
6:02 pm
a journalist in afghanistan who joins us from campbell. welcome ali. how are people reacting to the true withdrawal? there is definitely a lot of fear, right? because it's not necessarily about the troop withdrawal itself because you know, there wasn't security over the last 20 years and there isn't security now. but i think it's just sort of more about how quickly things are advancing at the moment. and so much of what's coming out in the media and many of so many politicians, i mean out with the minutes trying to say there might be a civil war and things like that. so there's really a lot of fear about the unknown, right? it's one of those situations where you really won't know what's come to pass until has come to pass. so for a lot of people, there's not much they can do, other than, you know, prepare for the best and hope for the worst, which they hope doesn't actually end up happening. and so it 20 years that may so has been that has life in afghanistan, improved as
6:03 pm
a result of the nature of deployment. there definitely have been some improvements . there's been some advance reconstruction. you know, some rates have been regained, some new rights have been gained. but if you look at the current situation in the country for talking about the german withdrawal, the germans were heavily involved in the north of the country and cities like condones and mothers leave and other cities around the north. and if you look at it, those are the 3, they're really endanger right now. and those are among the cities where local people are arming themselves to fight back against the whole bond. so really, you know, the current situation, the fact that people in condos are fleeing the fact that, you know, people in a city, you know, a cultural, economic, public mother, i don't feel safe. and the fact that people from those in hot and these other places are coming there all the time, sort of shows you know, the legacy of the last 20 years. and, you know, in the case of the germans, you know, it's another question of another country leaving. and what did they really accomplish
6:04 pm
in 20 years later, the cities that they were supposed to be in charge of fuel. so one safe and the people either have to flee or take up arms for themselves as a question of what did they really end up doing? how much should they really change for the average person? ok, thank you for that. i mean the tv in cobble you that's got the german political perspective from you're going to teen. he's a member of germany's parliament for the greens and fits on the farm. the fence committee. welcome to d. w. let's start with that idea. has germany now abandoned the african people to the taliban? no, definitely no. but gemini has to recognize that the military mission we started and i was part of the government that started mission at the end that to failure. we had one year of success and was the as the throwing of the
6:05 pm
economy been regime, but for mood and 19 years, nato and germany included, failing in establishing a political order that rules can without the participation of the county. and we know this, i think for more than a decade. so we pay it to find a political solution with the taliban earlier is a form of power sharing or something else. and now we withdraw into with a ton of this. withdraw will be the atkins. so society, that's bitter where the way who's failure was that 20 years of deployment in that time, one would have expected more movement. so where do you see the failures? her failure in my view has been that there was joined,
6:06 pm
going in and enjoying going out. but there was never enjoying being in there again, we have imperative to military doctrines. one dot 3 was we have the sterilizing mission that should support state building institution building and helped the afghans to rude them for themselves. and we have a military doc treat. it was counter terrorism in his blood way. donald trump call us, we are no longer doing states burning. we are killing terrorists and everything. what was reached in the so called comprehensive approach of nate was destroyed by 900 troops. indeed and t tara, that is one of the actors from ghana done, never have to military doctrines,
6:07 pm
then i so conflicting with each other in an area. and the 2nd thing was that we started very, very late for real negotiations for finding a police to political solution. and that the, and donald trump been a dia and it was a prompt you. and that mean was a bad deal. and so did germany do enough in this war? did germany commit sufficient, a troops that didn't have a sufficiently robust deployment? and i got this done. the problem of the mission was not that which was not robust enough. nato is the strongest military force in the world, is symmetric conflict. and the nato failed in getting the heard to mind of a vast majority of african people. that's the truth. and this was the
6:08 pm
consequence of these 2 military doctrines. conflicting each other, one on one side, together with development aid with state burning, training, police, and burning up needed institutions on one side and on the other side. organizing night res, killing african families, using drones against several people. these things conflicted each other and it was not the lack of military robustness is not too much robust. thank you so much for outlining that. so clearly you're going to to agree member of the bundle stocks. foreign affairs committee. thanks very much. now to kind of where an extreme heat wave is sweeping across the west of the country and causing dozens of deaths and breaking records, the temperatures hit $49.00 degrees celsius. cooling centers have been set up to
6:09 pm
give people some rest by the sweltering heat is forecast to continue prolonged, dangerous, and historic heat wave engulfing western canada has already caused dozens of death . people are being encouraged to go to cooling centers to combat the extreme heat. it's just on bearable it's, it's impossible to be out. so never seen anything like this. i hope it never becomes like this ever again. it's not really pleasant. this is too much too much summer for us here. but some are enjoying being out. doors feel like and coover, but it's an interesting experience the nice getting it side, but basically been consuming gallons of water the whole time. not surprising with temperature is exceeding 45 degrees in some places and feeling close to 50 degrees in others because of the human conditions. some are taking to the water to cool
6:10 pm
down, while others are helping the vulnerable by distributing food and drink to provide relief. officials point to this being part of a wider problem. in this instance, i think the, the big lesson coming out of the past number of days is that the climate crisis is not a fiction. that is absolutely real. and if you look, i had a briefing from the wildfire service yesterday and again today the entire west coast of north america from baja to alaska is red hot. this is not a british columbia problem. it's not a candidate problem. it is a global challenge and we all need to have citizens of the world coming together. sewland college classes have been cancelled in british columbia, which means more playtime. perhaps. that extreme heat and the search the relief looks like a climate emergency problem that just isn't going away. but i'd have to look at the most doors making news around the world. at least 7 migrants,
6:11 pm
including a pregnant woman who drowned off the coast of italy for their boat capsized. because god says 46 people abroad show but tennis still missing groups believe to have set off to museum. though curiously came, joan own has criticized his own party for failures in dealing with a corona virus. pandemic state media report and a grave incident have given no further details or career has no officially confirmed cases of covey. 19 hundreds of activists in the philippines have been demonstrating outside the presidential palace in manila, calling for justice. the victims of president deterred his war, undrugged. thousands of people have been killed since the crackdown on drug dealers to say they have been murdered with impunity. president valuable person has confirmed he has had the splitting v corona virus vaccine. got his 1st shot in march and the 2nd months later, traveling,
6:12 pm
but didn't disclose at the time which vaccine condition for germany have been knocked out to footballs, you know, 202200 by arch rivals england. the 1st time the 3 lines have beaten them in a knock out game for 55 years. england now advanced to play ukraine in the quarter finals. ecstatic fans have been celebrating. i started the victory the 3 line road and england sword. a 2 mill when against germany, finally break because it's the best english mystery. 966, june. we be germany, loss and lockout total to invoke up is affected, you know, 10 minutes or so. another company we put it through the book, talking is brilliant, and i got the german fans at wembley stadium. tried to make the best of it both teams played
6:13 pm
definitively and i think it put it in. we would have some, you know, the bind munich forward to mila gave fans in germany a moment of hope. if only for a few seconds. the channel, the english fans are in the state of ecstasy, despite elia doubts of courage. garth southgate strategy, i say. so i thought, oh no no, no 11 might be a good. yeah, we wanted to know know if you minutes a could not believe it. i think i was right before the english team have to go on the road and is now off to rome.
6:14 pm
the dangerous moment for us will have that warmth of success and the treating, you know, around the country that we've only got to turn up to when the thing and we know it's going to be an immense challenge from here on well, police, try to disperse the cheering crowds, the magic is far from the police. a grease was celebrating the recovery of a picasso painting that was stolen 9 years ago from the national gallery. then the painting slipped and fell to the floor as it was being shown off to the media. because i presented the painting woman's head to the greek people after world war 2 in recognize their resistance against the axis forces. despite before work is not
6:15 pm
thought to happy damage. and set you up to date more world news at the top of the hour. rob, what says your business updates next to have with a look at the impact of the global pandemic tourism. the news was right in front of them. they're all for this one moment. then suddenly we agreed to postpone the or didn't the game central care with 202021 thrown off course during the qualifying round.
