the 1st one energy saving light bulb, then 234. we're always hearing that we need to save energy, energy saving light bulbs can indeed save a lot of electricity and money to at least 100 years a year. but then we use one of the trips in a rental car, our, my little splurge. this one also uses electricity energy economics experts, claudia campus understands the dilemma. saving energy is a challenge to become how can i by lever to save more energy? we spoke miss bond in the past, what you're experiencing is known as the rebound effect. you work hard to save energy, then you have more disposable income, which you spend on more energy. we have to counteract them with targeted policies. i could see it sounds like a carbon tax for example, designed as an incentive to reduce energy use. that's yes, this is my boiler. it's

a source of heat that relies on natural gas and food minutes. gov on. i don't have to pay a carbon tax for every ton of carbon dioxide and that i am made with this heater, but it costs me 125 years a year. you have kids with germany now has a carbon tax. so we're hitting people's pocket books for why aren't businesses and super ranch mean our 1st instead of the little guy, glad it's unfair. it's s my good to see if it was a high. first of all, it's fair that those who inflict more climate damage pay for the high earning households have a bigger carbon footprint. they drive more cars, live in bigger apartments and use more fossil and heating fuels. so they have to pay a higher price on this affair. it would be unfair if low income household had to pay disproportionately more without getting relief marketed and for like a climate with this or other relief program would be best failure. even more

important is the promotion of energy saving measures. for unfortunately, a little it's being done there. last live in a worldwide, we need more focus on saving energy. of every kilowatt hour that isn't produced is what helps to climate most. and that needs to be emphasized why is so little being done to conserve energy in against foreign dominating energy, has never really been a popular topic for politicians because it's about creating incentives to use it. it's always easier to stand in front of an only inaugurated wind turbine been to take measures that really save energy. and so 5 and power guzzling sectors like the steel industry, are rarely incentivized to cut their usage. instead, they put the responsibility on politicians who pass it on to consumers. it's a global trend. so my investment also for from the research shows that this is widespread is it's a p r campaign on the part of lobbyist designed to ship responsibility away from

company. and pass it on to consumers, the consumer that can't reduce society's energy use on their own without other measures. companies and politicians often try to avoid the subject, but more and more people understand that something has to change and they're ready to politicians who need to catch up on a ticket o'clock. i think there's too much pressure on us consumers, but we all have to take responsibility. that's why my new motto is, use energy don't wasted. a clear message that certainly saving energy at an individual level can make a difference. but will that be enough? when it comes to conserving resources, perhaps what we really need to do is to think big our shocking energy wasting habits. what are our biggest fin?

pick an average city in northern europe. we'll call it north town. let's look at a typical family. it's early in the morning and the children are already streaming the film. the why fi router is always on, even when it's not in use. there's no stand by mode. the device uses around 12 kilowatt hours a month. that's about the same as a modern energy efficient refrigerator. billions of kilowatt hours a wasted around the world, out of convenience, and the desire to always be on line. meanwhile, the children's father has clocked in for a shift at the factory, a paper mill. the production process gives up hot air which rises unused to the ceiling. this energy could be used more effectively for heating all over the world . companies avoid investing and such changes because they usually only pay off after 5 years. ah, analysts say industry has the greatest untapped potential for saving energy. the

children's mother worked at a company that uses cloud services on the internet. they require huge server farms which also produce a lot of heat that goes unused. this would actually be enough to heat an entire apartment building. at the end of the day, the family sits down for an evening meal. the weather is cold, so the heating is on. in north town, around 30 percent of all the energy use goes into heating. that's largely because most building aren't properly insulated, better insulation to save the family up to 70 percent on their heating bills. and that's just one typical family. the whole of north town could save a lot of energy. so it's clear, we have to rethink our habits from the ground up literally not just what's in our homes, but what they're made out of building from natural materials could be part of the

solution. amberlynn is playing host to a growing number of buildings made of wood to report with do. and if i hear that they have nothing to do with the story. the story is about construction size, concrete buildings, and the hopes and dreams of people living in concrete building. maybe it's full of did they dream of the river connection? after all, that might explain why would the fashionable construction materials it's those almost 20 percent of new bills in germany are made of would be that they're not just about anybody who enters the home, made of wood is almost always overwhelmed by its quality and atmosphere at the theatre level, when you go into a newly built wooden house,

you'll feel wonderful from the very 1st moment thanks to the structural design and the very special atmosphere atmosphere company is developing. what especially the coolest wouldn't apartment building in germany? 29 stories 90 meters high. it's called, well, how to go up generally not the cities decided that entire district should be built of wood with new skill buildings made of timber. and there is some justification for that. we have to aim to be climate neutral in cities with trees of bouncy o 2 for centuries. and when the timber is used for building it remains bound. that key difference between wood and concrete, from the south baton and concrete is getting a lot of bad press. nowadays. a key ingredient is cement and according to the us

into governmental panel on climate change, the cement industry accounted for 3 times more. c, o 2 emissions than commercial aviation in and $119.00 another un recall it says construction and building usage of the source of 38 percent of global c o 2 emissions concrete is the default construction material, at least for large scale projects. an entire new concrete course is going up in a district of berlin. only one building currently under construction will be mostly made of wood. only is foundations and staircases will be made of concrete architect . sorry sir. robbie has been working with wood for well over a decade we then definitely. busy feel we're definitely pioneers and it's such we've also suffered, we had to overcome many obstacles. we met with a lot of resistance from the authority and we had to assemble a team of experts and of course convince our clients the property owners to begin

with with anything but easy. i bought in 48 in berlin as a recent project to the 6 story come up with about 40 apartments is almost entirely made of wood and the finest for the 2021 german sustainability. a board for architecture liberal is put in on the, on a on practice, didn't originally warm to would for ecological re, honestly the article. oh, there was 2007. i started thinking about what, perhaps 2 years earlier for it's a specific aspects aspect. i just found a beautiful in dec all that stuff and it was only later that i learned how eco friendly it is. and that it binds large amounts of c o 2. that's yeah, alec is not all on the high rise. it's not just meant to be eco friendly, but also an exercise in inclusivity and social cohesion would be condos for the wrench. but while the housing for people of all income levels as this,

it's about living in a neighborhood in a community. if you live in a project like this, you have to have the right attitude to wood as well because it lives and moves and creek. you have to be able to and want to deal with that in the back to build with tim there you have to cut down trees, how eco friendly as that's what we said, and you shouldn't just chop down in time as far as so they've gone forever. we need to use the resources we have in germany and central europe, and sell tree selectively. importing timber from further afield would be less sustainable. construction. hanson in downtown been in, but if all goes to plan, wouldn't skyscrapers should be standing by 20. ah, it shows conserving resources and living the good life can go hand in hand. that's

all we have time for on this edition of made. thanks for watching the news. the news

the into the conflict with tim sebastian. when it comes to foreign policy, it's getting harder to work out what the use stands for. my guess this week is almost pipe. nice, jared, the palm is foreign affairs committee. can he explain why such a powerful block of nations seems to punch so far below its weight and the world stay? 30 minutes upon d, w. me in time, happiness is

a growing humanitarian crisis. food and fuel shortages, as well as rising inflation, all making life extremely difficult patients over half the population and less than $2.00 a day. and the political situation has been far from stable for the past 2 years moist have been rolling, hated by decree. after their country failed to hold elections, a result of political gridlock and non rest opposition leaders have been demanding . we step down. they claim his term legally ended in february 2021 following the assassination internationally. this wound of an escalation. this is a critical moment. i think we all knew it was sensitive and difficult to arm the ground in a see and view of the political situation and the security situation. this put staff in even greater danger than before. on twitter use top deployment,

joseph burrell wrote, shocked by the assassination of haitian president javan mois. we had an exchange of diplomatic forum any 3 weeks ago. this crime poses a risk of instability and a spiral of violence. the perpetrators of this assassination must be found and brought to justice. so far, no group has claimed responsibility. the attack of that merchant from main unknown, of a more or less, i'm joined by a journalist and that rosa shirley, who is in puerto prince. so there is more details on the alleged assassins. what for late is that you're hearing, anna, the communication that came out from the national believe is that there was a gun 5 this afternoon in late afternoon, around 2 hours, close to the police station. and for miss mary suspected killers off the fence,

that is the right time and, and that's the acting if you're in crime and it's cabinet. so this is something that's going to be discussed for the next coming days, i would say, and nobody knows what's going always going to in and what we've also had many enemies. he tried to change the constitution, and his critics accused him of undermining democracy. who do you think stands to benefit from his desk? well, this is the $1000.00 question. i mean it, i think it is a little bit too early to say something because it's happening right now and nobody knows the going to happen. nobody has clean any responsibility for it, and nobody has in there as the person that would be the one benefiting of the crime . sure. it's a very, very that the for he and 80 is losing everything. what does the states all

see mean and practical term on the ground? well, the, there was a conference this afternoon and the minutes of information was explaining that in reality it could be. so again, i mean the military taking over and assuring up the entire city, but as there is only an embryo on embry, on the military or military police in securing the country side. now everything else should be just seemed like the beach meaning you can. and the houses without having a mandate and you can make the goals and goals that you are. yeah, i mean, this is basically the same, but it is to be seen is going to be able to be executed. how

a correctional facility closer to his home here in the province. and that is when he will be spending his night in prison. he is supposed to people speaking, including his daughter, and they are saying that he's done this not as an admission of guilt, but so as to comply with an order by the court. and as we understand it, he was given 2 options, basically because the police had been amassing some 45 minute drive away from his house. they were ready to of course, execute that arrest order. as we understand that mister opted to head himself over to avoid the humiliation of having to be arrested by the police. and so as we knows, he will be spending his 1st night in prison at night regular. all right, christine, when my for us in devon, thank you very much to be supporting in after the shooting of a dutch investigative journalist, peter de vries was gone down in amsterdam on tuesday and remains in the hospital. in serious condition,

authorities are examining possible links to his reporting and his role in a court case against a major criminal gang described by police as a well oiled killing machine. peter de freeze is known for exposing the dutch underworld sometimes digging up evidence to help bring justice to victims and speaking out for survivors. now, the investigative journalist live in an amsterdam hospital fighting for his life. this surveillance footage shows devries walking down a nearly empty street moments before he was attacked. a gunman shot him up to 5 times, including once in the head, people who have come to the scene of the crime, to lay flowers, to think of his contribution to dutch society, and to pray for his recovery. to think of all this subjects in the past years and his opinion, he's his work contributed for society. you can think him

away so. so i just hope that everything is going to be fine with him. i hope that you will survive this. so because he's a very important person in holland and journalism, the fries had been recently involved in the trial of the alleged leader of a criminal organization, prosecutors called and boiled killing machine. a 64 year old had long been considered a possible target of criminals. he reported on 2 suspects are in custody in connection with his shooting. they are scheduled to be in court on friday. a 3rd man was detained, but later released, police have not revealed a possible motive. a journalist, politicians, and citizens believe the attack is aimed at silencing reporters. we also think that journalists who might be targeted by organized crime must be protected.

it's very important. and it is very important that this murder attempt does not have a chilling effect on journalist working on criminal fairs. lens rarely sees violent crimes, but some say the apparent targeting of the fries has shaken their sense of security . have paid tribute to victims of a building collapse near miami, florida. the visual took place also authorities, and now the end of a search was survivors. so far 54 bodies have been found and doesn't still unaccounted for. the trial story building canal to 2 weeks ago there's an exposure on a container ship into by of last called a fire at the busiest port in the middle east. authority say the blaze has been brought under control, and there were no jets or injuries to some football news now in england defeated denmark in the 2nd year or 2020 semi final at

country, i mean, i've heard this new wembley like that ever. and to be able to share that with everybody and share it with everybody at home is very special. and copenhagen, the air finally went to the danish funds balloon. after a hugely emotional campaign, their team had opened the scoring with their mission to win the tournament for stricken teammate christian ericsson, ultimately run out of steam, maplin lender, that they felt the whole nation has supported us. it's been emotional for the entire team. and it's amazing to be de nation to be part of this, but then school. but right now we're all disappointed and we wanted to make that final become well. so this is a great, great disappointment so, so food need to uninstall order in store school, but the night belong to england, whose funds parties like it was 1966, to make sure you do 2020 comes home rather than going to rome,
