for a longer, healthier and fuller life. one of the most insightful discoveries in the history of mankind down the hash moral life starts may 28th on d, w. ah, ah, ah, ah, it's a sad story and a devastating one. the boar in ukraine continues with no con effects around the planet. every one knows about it, except many rations due to a media clamped down there. every once feeling it in some way or other governments and the people, inflation, energy prices, food security,

shifts in political alliances. the world is a different place as no doubt the ukrainians are suffering most. we definitely want to point that out. and we've already brought you so many of the personal stories of suffering, my relatives included. but today we'd like to look at some of the economic consequences you're made for ukrainians and people across the world. turning off the taps, how to ensure a country's energy needs. finding work to get a job in germany, if you're from ukraine, and uncovering and environmental sin, committed white out it see what's the german city of shredded brandenburg going to do if russian oil gets bat, the place lives from its refinery, which processes oil from russia? the entire industrial region relies on that black, sticky stuff. a hole 2 deliveries would mean mass unemployment and upheaval. oh,

and we're not allowed to film in the refinery and the russian lead firms employees say little. many can hardly believe that after 60 years, no more fuel will be produced here. in my opinion, gasoline and diesel will always be needed. that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that i work here. it's simply true. the refinery employs 1300 people and works with many suppliers. they produce diesel and gasoline. the crude oil comes out of this pipeline directly from russia. and that's exactly what the european union wants to stop. meaning an end to the refinery. the people in nashville, a town and northeast, and germany close to the polish border, are shocked. not a river. no one knows what's going on. everyone's afraid when, especially people who work here, you know, we're also afraid of what will happen next. and so it will become an industrial waste land. we could build alisha park here,

and flights i pod my ankle. any one could understand what a major shocks he says, and it's not going to harm russia. we're the ones who are being harmed. my. that's my opinion. mister putin doesn't care at all about where the jobs clear are at risk, or whether this place will be shut down. it'll only affect the local population company. local politicians are worried about their towns, economic future without russian petroleum. the city council has sent a letter to germany's economics minister in berlin. they want to know how they're supposed to survive without tax revenue from the russian oil trade. this is the financial consequences will directly impact the city. that's one thing done, but even more important are the jobs that are in danger that we have total solidarity with the p. c. k. workers. germany's motorists are also worried prices at the gas pumps of sky rock since the start of the war. many gas

stations in berlin and eastern germany are supplied by schmidt. if the refinery fails, supply bottlenecks and higher prices are likely on the whole, we supposed to take this one. it's insanely overpriced. i also don't believe that this has anything to do with the ukraine crisis or whatever. it's purely price gouging i. yeah, it's crazy. there's never been anything like this. i've lived in germany for 30 years and i've never paid prices like these 5. how ordinary people supposed to afford driving cars soon it will be a luxury driving a car will soon become a luxury gas station chain. sprint has its national headquarters in berlin. the managing director is already making plans. if the sugar refinery shuts down, he wants to procure fuel from abroad and imported to the region by a truck or rail. he's already booked tankers. he believes that there's

enough oil on the global market and that no one needs to depend on russia thornton to it, nor does it matter. of course, it's considerably more effective and efficient to transport a product time from point a to point b by a pipelines using tanker trucks is always a stop gap measure for long distance transportation. and above all, it's much more expensive. but if there are no alternatives, then these tankers will travel much further for or will try to get the product to the pumps. before they run dry, we put hooked to home. it's quite possible that the lights will soon go out of the sri. it refinery. a boycott of russian oil could also leave its mark on the german economy. so that was russian oil. then there's the question of russian gas, the main industry associations in germany warn against banning it. we delve into

that debate. let's take you back around 3000 years or so ago when natural gas is said to have been discovered. it burned crevices in the earth's surface, but began forming hundreds of millions of years before that decomposed matter from ancient marine microorganisms mixed with mud. silt, and sand were long buried, and stopped, of oxygen heat. and pressure converted the mach into hydra cubs in the 19th century . it was used for street lighting. it's also used for cooking and russia holds the largest natural gas reserves in the world. european winters can get very cold. and this year, russia could turn off its gas supply, or europe could decide to no longer import russian gas. what would this mean? would people still be able to cook and heat their homes? would industry have enough gaps to function? o?

natural gas storage plays a key role in germany up to 25 percent of annual gas supplies can be stored in underground facilities run by companies like the n g o unit her if gas delivery were indeed cut off these facilities could cover around 3 months supply of the fuel dodge of var is germany is blessed with large natural gas storage facilities. were in an unusually good position which we can now hopefully used were advantage once again. yes. vida fuels look. generally the natural gas storage facilities are well filled in winter. that's what the red wavy line indicates. the reserves are mostly used up by april by some of the storage has been refilled. this year, lower supplies from russia mean that much less gas as being stored right now. the reserves only reach around 33 percent. the race is on with many countries desperate to store as much gas as they can ahead of

a possible russian gas embargo. they don't want to depend on the market. germany's even brought in a new law to that effect. that specific gas storage must reach 80 percent by october 1st and 90 percent by november. first on the federal network. agency for gas will monitor this, and many participants on the market are creating the conditions for this right now so that the law could even be adhered to from next week. i buy bread, but full gas storage facilities are only part of the solution. so how does energy security in europe look over all one option is liquefied natural gas, or l n g, which could replace russian supplies. a liquid gas tanka loads of floating island g terminal. from there, the liquid gas is pumped into an underground pipeline through which it reaches the european gas network. the liquefied natural gas terminals are mainly located on coasts. germany's 1st, ellen g terminal is only now being built,

but 3 more plans. the countries of europe connected by a gas pipeline system, they can help each other and trade l, n, g and gas reserves. another advantage that can help them become independent of russian gas. mm. europe is quite good prepared, related to the gas and process because a lot of european countries have in the past, used diversified their emperors, especially because they have constructed liquefied natural gas terminals and the diversification strategy to also we're allow the flow off gas from the west to the east, for example, not only to the east, to the west, germany and the rest of europe already using less russian gas than before. but so max, but say that to further reduce gas use, europe's coal fired power plants will need to be switched on. nonetheless,

energy will get more expensive for both individuals and companies. what consequences will that happen for the economy? due to our scenarios, we see that there are severe negative impacts, so the economy and total, if this is steve, increase your prize and also the gas market is under pressure. but at this fear, the bad, the whole and the whole economy is collapsing because so there might be no russian gas coming in any more. that is not that is not controlled by scenario that said the coming when. so we'll bring even higher gas prices for many in europe . heating will get more expensive and some will choose to snuggle up in front of the fireplace. more often. that is if they have one of the summer is here around 2000 ukrainians. continue to arrive here in germany

every day. after fleeing the war. it faced with the task of trying to rebuild their lives in a foreign country in which a completely different language is spoken. that makes finding work here another huge challenge. i know what that's like, but running for your life from a conflict. i can't imagine that having to decide when and which few possessions you can take with you. we are prepared to special warm language at the end of january. in order to run that. this think was very, very emotional. and i spent some time in lam mixup in the ocean. this feelings stay in before this, michelle, and turn chosen what, what do you want to what,

what do you have to buy to be what's brought that's during the war. oh, god fled to germany just before russia invaded ah, just like 600000 other ukrainians. they had to leave their homes behind friends and often well paid jobs ukraine. i walked on a company which in ports o german motto, oil, and distribute, did it in the ukraine. i was there, i am a chief financial officer there. ah, but now i'm in the colon thompson and there is a book. but civility dawn keep column my brains because it's all on the situation and the good possibility

to be useful. there is paulina and marcia also flight to germany. the war club, mercia, by surprise, while on vacation. a short trip to barcelona. paulina fled west in ukraine with her 11 year old sister. now they both help other ukrainians find work at job aid ukraine. it's often a difficult task. it's about land, which of course because a lot of jobs, it's actually hard. it needs to be in germany. even in some, somebody, i don't know what germany or english at all, so it's, i think it's a main broad problem. but also, and sometimes it's hard to connect to correct to. or if you g with there, ah, professional, because in ukraine they've got some level of professional,

but it's not the same in germany. the job platform for ukrainians has been around for close to 2 months since then they have filled more than $5000.00 jobs across europe. marco's digman is one of the initiators of the project. the idea came up immediately after the outbreak of war and was implemented in just 5 days and nights. vacancies are not only in europe, but all over the world. to goes the whole sort of list as the biggest challenge to be very clear is that it's highly educated men and women who come to us and that we will find the right job for them according to their training. and that the i t x bird is not placed in a nursing home, but can find a real job in their profession. and someone who's a great nurse then, of course, gets the job in nursing. that's the biggest challenge shell total it in a has been working in berlin for 2 months. she found the position in the restaurant

while fleeing to germany with her husband and son. when she was safe, she brought her family over a big responsibility for the 29 year old. which in which this job is very important as me and my husband have to support the family of 7. this includes the mother, the sister, the aunt, and the grandmother, who was with the berlin restaurant chain, dutch employees, 190 people, most of whom speak russian or ukrainian even before the war. the company was specifically looking for employees in ukraine. that makes it easier for you craniums like irina who don't speak german restaurants in particular have been looking for him for years since corona mining social. there are opportunities for refugees from ukraine to earn money in germany. what for them,

however, work is much more than just a source of income or views you suited almost and been in nevada. this helps all understand the life is boy and on. and so we yes. where in the problem, in a huge problem, well in plain, but we have to leave, we have to leave father, we have to to have hold. sometimes this situation will will, and this is important because these women all one to go back to their homeland, to rebuild that country from fleeing war and holding on to hope to a hopeless situation and environmental calamity that you'd think big shipping

companies would be running from the pollution of our oceans. now i'm not talking about all the oil that gets into the seas from oven run off coastal refineries and offshore rigs. and talking about vessels that regularly empty they oily waste water into the ocean without blinking an eye. as you can see, it causes a lot more pollution than your average oil spill. dw, investigation shows how seafarers circumvent environmental laws to save time and money with devastating consequences. ah, these shaky video was filmed secretly inside of a think of ship secretly, because he shows something that should not be there. did you see it? let's watch it again. there it is. ah, this is a bail to bump. chips use it to illegally dom toxic,

wasting the ocean facebook disease, cold beer out dumping, and it's causing one of the worst environmental disasters, etc. so what is builds dumping and why are we not stopping? oh, 1st let's look at what builds water is, builds is the lowest spot of the ship, but the 2 sites meet builds water is the water that accumulates here, except it's not exactly water. ships of this size are massive machines with lobby intake, pipe systems, engines bigger than coach buses. burning streams of heavy fuel oil. the pipes can leak, the oil can spill, and the engines need cooling and cleaning. all these liquids are collected in the built and it's not a nice view. we know very well that oil can tropic

kill animals. well built water contains volume, diluted with water plus various chemicals and heavy metals. oil can suffocate and intoxicate fish and birds. and even if they survive, their offspring might not. pages the heart of a normal, healthy fish larva is that of a larva exposed to oil, the result, a smaller heart and lower heart beat and lower chances of surviving. the water is so toxic that it has been regulated for more than 50 years. this is a problem that has been personally bothering me for most of my career. this is john amos. he found out about the build dumping problem 20 years ago when he found that sky truth for a non profit organization that uses satellite imagery to shine a spotlight on environmental issues around the world. and more precisely radar satellites, which 20 years ago, where very new technology,

we regularly see these dark streaks on the water. we're not natural that often had a big ship the vessel at the n. enter builds dumping in at the time. looking at those slicks, there was no way for us to identify the vessels that were responsible. it could take hours for the satellite to send an image. by the time the received the vessel was a long gone, it was an extremely frustrating thing, but everything changed with a i s that is automatic identification system, it's use is also required by international law, so that vessels can avoid running each other. ships are now required to transmit their position with a radio signal. satellites can pick up the signal and record the movement of every ship. you know the exact time in the exact place from that satellite.

and then we just find the broadcast, the match that most closely in space and time. and when we put it on the screen, we had a clear match of that of one track. clearly matching the path of the slick for this investigation. algorithms were trained to automatically recognize potential spills in one year. we found 1500 potential dams in you waters alone. the whole done this ways roughly equivalent to 5 times the $989.00 exxon valdez spiel. one of the worst marine environment, though, even worse deaths, a conservative estimate, and even wars, hardly anybody knows about it in the even wars face is a deliberate practice. so why are we not holding companies accountable? there are other features on radar satellite imagery that can look like an oil slick

. it could be caused by ships caring fish, oil, vegetable oil, or by other element. it's not sufficient at this point in any courts of law that i'm aware of. but in combination with other things, it can be powerful accessory evidence to help make a lead. ok to be taken as proof. a visual confirmation must come from someone on the ground. hello hampton. nice to meet you. we are. he had to carry out a marble inspector and there are chew bars with easy sections. first, a very tedious one, then a very noisy one. the

bids water is collected down here. ah, the section is over. a bull. so captain, that's the attention about on spectrum all with no disease broken finger, no problems this time. but that doesn't mean builds dumping isn't happening. yeah, vocally guns. good. now we look really deep into it and try to always be up to speed and to know where the manipulation could be. i think we have a high standard, but we can never uncover a 100 percent of my son who's got us only inspect the fraction of the ships and only check those already docked in abort. not the nicest why the dumping occurs, but there's some one else on the ground that can confirm what satellites reveal. someone who follows this ships wherever they go. whistle blowers. hello, a hello. how are you? i'm good little noise. how are you?

i'm good. this is one of fine whistleblowers we talked with. we decided to withhold his name to protect his identity. thanks to his description, we build a 3 d model of foul builds. dumping works here is the build stick. and here is the notorious build to pump. so what we did was speed, you will start um, who transferred from the bench to another don carlos the impact on the bus, but the doctor stuck only clean liquid comes in board and rehab facility, misjudged the contents of it. and here you have it benz dumping, one o one, and the id is fill. these bumps are designed to prevent oil pollution. so the purpose of these are actually to collect oil from the ocean and, but i don't think we'll say space, but di,

to me is that they use the same pump for the doctor. if such activities also tend to happen when there's bad weather. so to make ok anything a night, make it easy. the dog and old too often, it is definitely the norm. it is expected that everyone been silently participate in florida. there was a writer about just orders. one gets used word one, but not every one. whistle blowers like him, i still horrified enough and brave enough to speak up so unless there is someone on board, if they disagree, because without insight, their testimonies are crucial for investigations like this. but we shouldn't have to rely on their courage to protect our ocean. oh, interesting stuff that was over this addition of made from all of the team here and building. thanks for watching a
