sleet oval a pen in the past 2 weeks, but with more than 10 percent of fate us as yet on this side. it mccall hasn't secured a safe victory yet. you know what she ended up in is live her from berlin. coming up next is shift living in the digital age. i'll cease in a by global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities greener? how can we protect habitats? we can make a difference. global ideas or mental series of global 3000 on t. w and online store to know when spoken to addiction and transformed into an orgy of hate and violence. the history of the ku klux klan,
7:16 pm
the oldest terrorist organization in the united states. its members white 4 races state by white supremacy founded over 150 years ago, repeatedly died out, but always been resurrected. the ku klux klan starts may 11th on d. w. m. a kite that transforms wind into energy, a vacuum cleaner, that pull c o 2 out of the air and jones that plan, treat digital innovations that combat climate change. our topic today on shift ah, to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5 degrees celsius. greenhouse gas emissions must be nearly half by 2030. this is what the intergovernmental panel on climate change has recently reported. the consequences are
7:17 pm
a huge forest fires melting polar ice caps and devastating floods only by consistently avoiding using oil gas and other fossil fuels. can we stop the trent? good digital innovations helps humanity. some of them sound too good to be true, like the seo to vacuum cleaner. ah, near iceland capital reykjavik, atlanta, actively remove c o. 2 from the air has been operating since 2021. the technology behind it is cold director here capture. eat collection times, extract the carbon dioxide with high tech filters and fans. first, they use heat to separate the carbon dioxide than it is mixed with water and injected deep into the earth. the air, the carbon cools and solidifies and no longer contributes to global warming. the plant is the largest of its kind and can capture and bind for 1000 tons of c o 2 per year. but it meets
7:18 pm
a lot of energy. iceland is night deal acacia because it has both hydro and u thermal resources. renewable energy is abundant and cheaper. it's the only sensible way to run the plant. we are committed to use only renewable energy, so we don't want to emit c o 2 while capturing caea to the plant. we have an ice length. it's efficiency is higher than 90 percent. which means that for one come, we are capturing. we omit about 10 percent. so we make about 100 kilo plane works 1st direct here capture plant went into operation in 2017 at the swiss site. the c o 2 was not stored in the ground, but uses fertilizer and nearby greenhouses. this closes the carbon cycle and prevents more carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.
7:19 pm
an impressive approach and it really works. but how much influence can at half, on global warming, the plant on iceland can capture as much c, o 2 and here as 250 citizens in the u. s. consume. similar projects such as storing c o 2 under the ocean floor have only had limited success, says a j gambit of impure college london. and much older technologies we call them captured storage, which they suck the seo to out. the atmosphere is such but actually capture carbon dioxide from the combustion of fossil fuels and things like that. industrial manufacturing, glancing poll gas light stations. and that comes out from storage. technology has been a bit of a disappointment in terms of the rate which has been able to be pilots. it's demonstrated in standoff, industrial c o. 2 filtering plans can therefore only stop the rising global warming to a small extent. so let's take a look at a completely natural method photosynthesis. plants grow using only light water and
7:20 pm
carbon dioxide forests are especially effective at removing c o 2 from the air, according to german climate expert julia pon guts. from all the a metro so called nitro solutions. forests are the ones that are probably have the largest potential. this is simply because it's large areas that potentially could be a forest that and forests have a rather high carbon density. so a lot of carbon per square meter, but every year around, $15000000000.00 trees are cut down worldwide. this is for firewood or because the land is needed for agriculture, new roads, or settlements. grasslands and deserts continued to spret. this contributes to global warming. at the same time, climate change helps create even more grass lands. it's a vicious circle in spain rangers are trying to stop this trend to using drones. they want trees to grow here again. in only 2 days, they have spread around 500000 seats in india,
7:21 pm
the start up my route. drones wants to use similar technology to plant 1000000000 trees by 2030. the seed caught to plant trees from the air. drone selectively spread seed falls over areas to plant new forest or to strengthen weakened for it. a drone can carry 10 kilos of feed balls each holding 4 to 5000 feet. this technology offers new opportunities for reforestation, says the raj petty, co founder of margaret drone. india is a biddy with a very geography and that in like desert him rather than that, that ice in that are gone are among rules in westbank. so there are many regions of people are unable to reach for there are not many activities that are going on at present. he's got that can please this area on the table a deal with is before sewing the drone survey, the terrain afterwards,
7:22 pm
the seat capture continues to work. it monitors the seedlings from the air and the results are collected in a database to ensure healthy forest growth. for once the miseries they can be done from specific algorithms which can process this image to create that optimum. and unlike understand optimum environmental parameters for the maximum plan growth. so based on this information, we understand like which part of the forest needs to be taken care where there is been very low growth of 3 covered. and also, what is the optimal feedback confirmation that needs to go in? artificial intelligence is decisive in monitoring the a for station efforts, but it can take up to 40 years for trees to grow and actually sequester c o 2. according to green i t expert chris adams. they talk about planting a ridiculous amount of trees in the area of india to meet
7:23 pm
one companies, carbon emissions, rather than just actually get her fossil heroes. so these can sometimes be end up being the unintended impact of being a distraction from much more positive conversations about the commoners issue. if we are to stop law the warming, we cannot simply keep burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. but where will our energy come from? then? could you imagine life without electricity shock for nearly 800000000 people worldwide? that's the reality. most of them live in sub saharan africa, sierra leone in west africa is one of the least electrified countries in the world . only 23 percent of the population has reliable access to electricity. intelligence solar networks are set to change all that solar panels have changed life and to come to a village in sierra leone. it is finally reliable power from renewable sources. a

great improvement people had a youth delay because he that the for study fell out there at a youth a visual freezer a found, you know, going to be muffled full on life in our mic alley, doing possess, coma, across all different. anyway, the guy from the twins, they're called glad eddy capital come by. this community solar powered mini group is designed to solve 2 problems at once. first, provide much needed access to electricity. second, reduce greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy p. d centralized energy system works in remote areas of the national power group and intelligent control systems are able to capture any superfluous energy. the powergen company installed the microgrids per manager mohammed. salih county is
7:25 pm
a promising concept is community 5 years down the road. it was completely dark. what low? today we have electricity here for me going forward for the rest of the all. this is of a good, valuable, offshore. our micro grits or local solar energy greats. really, a global solution. we asked energy expert marie for bras are from kenya micro grid . i'm not the be all and all see but let from so every but they're in the integrity part of the electrification process in the, in the global south. like for example, the solution found by dr. m a thing in the indian state of rochester. he has installed solar panels, both on his hospital and on the family farm land, missouri like i feel like i'm contributing to the needs of my village, put them on for 220 megawatts in and i'm generating 5 megawatts here and my land regarding the new to go good. so i am contributing to 2 percent that was my
7:26 pm
village's power needs. i feel good about alabama. he regularly feeds solar energy into the local power grid. individual projects which utilize a i can provide local relief, but other solutions are needed to meet the rising global demand for energy. then needs to be an understanding that is not centralized. great vices smarter microgrids or vices standalone solutions. it's really what's the best solution within each context. oh, the german company enter kite has an innovative and decentralized way of generating energy. it uses the power of the wind. there are no huge wind turbines, but instead a mobile system. the portable system consists of only 3 main components, the stunt kite, the control lines, and the steering cabin pump. the kite is sloane automatically,
7:27 pm
with prevailing wind conditions being taken into account. they fly higher than the tops of existing wind turbines. and i've noticed in enter, kate uses the wind up high, where it blew strongly and consistently above to these wind turbines uses high technology. kate systems that are controlled from the ground and transmit the wind power via the lines to a generator on the ground is either a would not get an artful, but hug the kites are designed to generate twice the power of conventional wind turbines. decline only the small turbine bleed tips are actually effective. looks i'm is we've reduced our system to that. it looks and replaced the stability of steel and concrete with a very reliable control system. i've been talking to it and it gets with all
7:28 pm
the costs for solar and wind energy and for batteries are sinking. they're down 85 percent since 2010 but time is running out. we must act now and make more use of modern energy technologies. the i p c. c has warned that we have only 3 years to reverse the trend and greenhouse gas emissions. there are innovations, however, the technologies we have seen today are only a small part of the solution. the seo to vacuum cleaner won't help if we still burn oil and gas. what have you done to tackle climate change and which technologies do you find the most promising? tell us on youtube already w dot. come by and see you next time. ah ah, the 77 percent. this time,
7:29 pm
it's all about sports and traditional plus an exclusive interview with marathon superstar b keep today. what are these values that you see universally important? dixie characters the go to the next to might find yourself. the fund moves going to distance the 77 percent on dw. well making the headlines and what's behind them. dw news africa, the show that the issues have been the continent live is slowly getting back to normally. well, the streams to give you end up report scars funds, it is on the ground reporting from across the continent. all of the trends doesn't matter to you. in 60 minutes point dw,
7:30 pm
if you ever have to cover up a murder, the best way is to make it look like an accident. raring to me. you've never read a book like this. literature list under german must reads hello and a one welcome to the 77 percent our program for you africa youth. i'm either kimani and this week we have a very special so for you coming to you from l door, it's the home of champion. with this week, we take a deep dive into the world of sports across the continent. here's what we have for you. we investigate how to tackle corruption in kind of sports institutions. marathon legend and you can choke it tells us the secrets and how to keep your mind on.
