blue nuclear weapons, one of humanity's most lethal inventions, 200000 people, died instantly following the atomic bombs dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki, in august 1945, many more lost their lives due to radiation over the following years. the attacks on japan were the 1st and only use of atomic weapons during a war the international peace research institute estimates that there are around $13000.00 nuclear weapons worldwide. russia owns most of them, then the u. s. and then with considerably fewer china, despite an overall reduction in nuclear warheads worldwide, the 9 nuclear powers, the role upgrading their arsenals. while the strategic weapons like those dropped

on japan, cause devastation and release wide ranging radiation. tactical devices, also known as many nukes, have less explosive yields, but allow full precision bombing, including on battlefields. regardless of the tight nuclear weapons on deadly, as shown in this report from the u. s. grandpas story told in newspaper clippings bill reynolds is collecting them in an album with his grandson, ian and daughter am on misty leon. he's been putting it off a long time. now time is pressing re. new fan bill has terminal cancer. doctors give him only a few months. when i pass on and starve to death. arabic is my kids and grandkids. lawyers have ashley know about grandpa on there because they don't

really understand it. now they're too too young to understand. it is like a lot of things that don't mean a lot to him right now that maybe sometime oil mill is a so called down winder, a victim of his own government's nuclear testing. and the 1950s in 19 sixty's back when he was a child. the radioactive fallout traveled for hundreds of miles even coming down in his idaho town. you and he was unaware of it until he was 1st diagnosed with cancer . he says, well, you're exposed to an atomic blast. and i says, or what do you mean exposed to an atomic blast? i said, i've never been anywhere around anything like that. and he says, you're down winder and asked when i, when i start putting everything together and then i figured out my family history, then my mother lived to be the oldest of 5 children and she lived to be 47.

bill has been battling cancer for more than 10 years now. his retirement savings have long since been to pleaded spent on medications and medical bills. now he gets the most expensive drugs for free. he's never received any compensation from the government. oh i'm, i'm mad as can be, it's a government. i mean, knowingly or unknowingly. it's the government did it. heck, regardless. hm. the u. s. government detonated more than 1000 atomic bombs in the 1950s in 19 sixty's. most of them here in the nevada desert. often the wind blew north away from las vegas and the metropolis is of california. tort sparsely populated areas to the north and with it builds home in idaho

bills, parents and other adults sometimes even climb the surrounding mountains to admire the mushroom cloud you see right there where that death tower is. there they go up . there they go up on top of that set and have a they probably sitting at a beard and watch. watch the the, the colors from the atomic explosion. bills home town is in a valley in jam county. when radiation levels were measured in the late 19 ninety's, this area was the 3rd most contaminated in the united states. the fall out at that time settled on fruits, vegetables, and animals. dr. charla also sees what that did to people. he's been bills oncologist ever since his 1st doctor retired. it was only

a few years ago. the doctor charla moved to the area and he noticed the many cancer cases immediately. i had practice in chicago for 5 years and i saw maybe 2 thyroid cancers and 5 years and either busy or very busy practice . and here are my 1st 6 months. i had 5 thyroid cancer's, which i thought was a complete shock, or he stayed in bills case, the cancer is in his bones, blood, and prostate. among other places, the doctor can no longer cure him. he can only give him as much time as possible. a 10 hour drive further south is las vegas known for it shows and casinos, but it's also the home of the national atomic test museum visitors from all over the us. come here to learn about the history of the development of the american atomic bomb. there's also an exhibition dedicated to the height that surrounded

that then new technology in the 1950s. none of the visitors we speak to here are in favor of atomic bombs, but some do see their usefulness. so if you don't have the capability to reduce the threat of responding, then can be taken over. so yes is a weapon that should never be used, but you should have because others music i understand having because others have a you know, fighting bag. um, but i think overall they shouldn't be here because it's not good for anyone. bill is of the same opinion. he's already lost too many loved ones as a result of the nuclear tests. that's why it scares him when he watches the news these days. it's also why it's so important for him to tell his story until the end

. ready i want everybody to know the story because i want everybody to know how dangerous radiation is with this big conflict in the ukraine. and course, you know, i've said many times putin being away he is. you don't know if he's gonna decide days on after use a nuclear bomb in order to win his war over there. just to say, hey, i won the war. that prospect torments bill, especially when he thinks of his children and grandchildren, the atomic bomb, destroyed his life. it should not destroy their lives as well. forest so destroyed for farmland and soils and water are polluted and the climate is changing. nature is under pressure. every day, globally, $150.00 animal and plant species die out, scientists say we may be facing a 6th mass extinction. what can we do to stop it?

who cools this place home? some of its residents, we already know. but many other plants and animals are yet to be discovered. humans have only studied a small fraction of the estimated $8000000.00 species that exist. $1000000.00 of them are at risk of extinction. are the main reasons are disappearing, habitats pollution, poaching and climate change. species a dying out at a rate and scale, never seen before. it's dangerous for ecosystems and therefore for us humans too. but how successful are retents to stop this mass loss of life? let's take a look at zeus some see themselves as conservationists, and many animals that lived there. aw, endangered species or no longer exist in the wilder tool. like push of our skis

horses. they were bred in captivity and re introduced to their former home of mongolia. today's wild population of a few 100 descends from just 12 animals. and yet genetically, they are surprisingly diverse, said as a good chance that this species will survive long time. but these success stories a few and far between animal conservationists estimate that only 20 species have been saved by zeus. then there are rescue centers on sumatra in indonesia, there are an estimated 14000 de rang selected at the beginning of the last century . there were about 6 times as many of the great apes have disappeared along with rain forests which have been cleared for palm oil plantations. many baby rang tangs have been captured and kept as pets in the jungle school they learn to survive in

what few protected rain forests there were left. so far, nearly 200 animals have been rescued and re introduced into the wild here species can also be protected through regulation. fish numbers are decreasing in our oceans. small boats operating along coastline ins report catching far, few fish, pollution and over fishing are the main reasons. fishing quote is are an attempt to give endangered species time to reproduce. and sustainable methods such as nets with mash large enough to spare, small of fish are intended to protect stalks around 30 percent of edible fish species are over fish and 60 percent are on the brink. one of the biggest problems here is that conservation agreements are not adequately enforced and that leads us to the role of protected areas. today's about 15

percent of the world's land area is protected. this has, among other things, helped to save elephants that are hunted for ivory and whose populations have been decimated. ranges here trying to protect them against poachers. other animals are also safer from human intervention in these reserves. but in some reserves, elephants, for example, have reproduced so much that their numbers have actually become a problem. they require more food and space than there is and destroy trees, fields and even villages. or what movie, there's been been a good one possible solution is to increase the size of such reserves. and in general, to foster intact ecosystems in which nature regulates itself. perhaps we humans

need to learn to see nature not as something to be exploited, but as something that we are part of. oh, what do you recount? cigna crayfish and false acacia having common. they are all invasive species brought over from their original habitats into new ecosystems, either on purpose or by accident, through travel or trade. for example, in global ideas, we look at the havoc such invasive species can cause. this week we had to south africa where water hyacinth native to south america has developed into a green plague. but there is a remedy. a green mass where open water should be for decades. the problem at how to base put down in

northern south africa, has been growing exponentially. the lake is overgrown with water hyacinth, a plant from south america. now clogging bodies of water throughout africa, the invasive plant grows extremely fast. the ecological consequences are dramatic, combating the plant has been difficult despite intense research. is one of the world's largest and problematic aquatic leads. it's been present on how to pass, but dam since the 1970s. and it's a massive problem, and they've tried to remove it manually do herbicide applications. but it's still a massive problem. and because it can cover up to 40 percent of the damn survey, researchers in south africa have been trying to control the invasive plant for years. well sealed off from the environment,

scientists are looking for the water hyacinth natural enemies. and they've made a big find that's only 4 millimeters in size. the income he was water hyacinth grasshopper is also a native of south america. the insects reproduced just as rapidly as the water hyacinths. and the little guys have a big appetite in as much as if a child has to read miss a plant hopa. we have been successful. we keep every record of insect that is coming out of this facility. just over 10 years, we have released over a 1000000 in states oh, in this vicinity. last year we have about over $200000.00 that we have released throughout the country. the procedure is not without its dangers. there are examples world wide of species used for this purpose becoming pest themselves. lengthy testing procedures are in place to prevent that. one of the major concerns we haven't, biological control is that in sick that me release could feed another plant species

. so remiss again that in this facility by testing this candidate and sit on various plans species including native species and crop plants. and we need to do this testing to make sure that the insects that we release odd will be co host specific. this testing is very thorough and sometimes can take years. it's important for this because once an insect is released, we can get them back. the tests for the water hyacinth locust are finally complete . the bugs are now being collected and packed for transport together with a leaf of their favorite food. they're on their way to the hot to be sport dam. rosalie smith of the center for biological control, sees to it herself that the insects reached their destination. the denser the water hyacinth scroll, the better it is for their little enemy. they can multiply here quickly.

o approach with releasing the plans up is, is using them as a green herbicide, sir, as many as 3 says as possible early in the summer. and that allows their populations to build up quickie. and that also just allows them to damage the. * ponds as soon as possible, so that the plans start and expand their growth over the damn water high since form dense mats that drift across the lake. when they collide, their underwater roots become entangled and block out any light. gradually, a huge dense carpet of plans forms. they can completely over gro bay areas, which is not only an ecological problem, but an economic one too many people at the damn live from tourism. each year columns of workers remove the plants from the water with long rakes. it's a slow and laborious process that only works on smaller waters in huge areas like

this though, the tiny helpers have to step in. the traces of their work can be seen on the water . hyacinth leaves holes and brown areas testify to the success of the organic pest control. the nibbled on and dead plans dropped to the ground and slowly decompose under water. you can also see them from space. within 2 years, the growth on the dam has decreased from 40 to just 5 percent. this is a site where we did frequence inundate of releases of the plans hopper am. and we know they're here in high numbers because they dump around as i pick up of plans. and what they damage looked like is they caused their leaves to become brown. the leaves also am recall on themselves am and so the plans in the sites is heavily

damaged and that's basically what we would like for the rest of how to best put them in the evening light. the success of the operation can be seen particularly well. swarms of grasshoppers fly over the water hyacinths. nevertheless, the plant will probably never really disappear. it spreads too quickly. even so large open water areas have re emerged on the harder baseboard dam since their introduction. this promising result could lead to the grasshoppers being used on other infested waters. empty beaches, deserted hotels, abandoned restaurants for more than 2 years. global tourism has been knocked sideways. according to the un, the pandemic has put around 120000000 jobs in tourism at risk. although evermore borders are reopening, the big comeback has yet to happen, and those whose livelihood depends on tourism are becoming increasingly alarmed.

the towers of uncle what are mysterious and breathtaking, but they're also nearly deserted. the feels lonely to tour guide san san to before the pandemic. he guided groups of visitors around the landmark almost every morning. and even though tourists are allowed back into cambodia now, san saw him still looks lost in the centuries old sandstone. temples they live to depend tourism industry. them makes income daily of from tourism yet. so when men nobody come and people lose a job. yeah. so that is the, the bad consequences, tourists currently have a lot of space among the stone figures. so i saw

him thinks more visitors could be lured back with special deals. but there is one noisy group right in the middle of cambodia, national monument tapping and hammering lewis. so 4 and his team of restores are working to maintain encore what for the past 25 years, the team has received funding from germany throughout the pandemic. these so called temple doctors have continued to clean and seal the masonry at the beginning. we also feared that may be in her some time v below ali job yet. but up to now the stay, it needs to be in a good security of al job, that we can go on a bit of a conservation here. we feel very happy with this yet. i mean, we drive to downtown cemetery, everyone here lives from tourism in some way,

says sandstorm. each year, before the pandemic around 3000000 tourists came pub street was a party mile full of night life restaurant. now it's only a shadow of its former self is popular for many shops, bars and hotels had to shut their doors. and this one as though they thought al, is beautiful as well. so those are the rich people. then they come to say here as all but nobody's in there, nobody now in there. how many? how many people tell have been so this one is closest? ah, so i think it's still close. yeah, it isn't over these. yeah, it will still close. it would be more than 3 or $300.00. some things hotel is still close. it's just not worth it yet.

meanwhile, the government has invested millions to build dozens of new asphalt roads. cambodia is clearly setting its hopes on mass tourism sandstorm. hopes things pick up soon. this beautiful backdrop is the perfect setting for a wedding video shoot. i would here, here in this restaurant, we me david p. o from the local tourism association. but it's, it's not really he owns a hotel in the city alarming, but prefers to not show it to us and it's current, dreary, state our way. but does the city really yarn for the days of mass tourism again before you cannot really pick and choose who wants to come? the only thing you can do is manage how they come and how they live together with other markets. and yes, of course, my master's them exists everywhere. it exists in europe in venice, in paris,

in berlin. and why should it not exist here? it will exist here. regardless of what happens, sandstorm throws out a fishing net. it might look idyllic, but it's not a relaxing hobby. during the pandemic, many westerners rediscovered their love of nature. but here in cambodia, the 43 year old has to fish. if he wants to eat flat is, is thought tough. sometime my walk from down the road where i leave that because they can drive most motos to get into the closer to find. i want 5 kilometers. get to the fonts. yeah. sunday, i'm so exhausted. and, but if no choice, because we've, we need to do this for us of i, well, he bought this house before the pandemic with his work as

a tourist guide and his wife's hotel job paying off alone was no problem. but now he can only find odd jobs. in addition, the prices for petrol and food have risen a lot during the pandemic. these days dinner is more often than not the disappointment, san san has to fight back his tears. when come could it come out? come up so we don't have all the money to pay the loan back to the bank. that's why we need to say what the, what and can life in something like that in the situation is desperate for san san, his wife and many other cambodians. that's why they dream night after night about the tourists coming back and they're needed badly here. the sooner the
