but only when and how the media will deal with it. how can we stay focused on what is important? shaping tomorrow now, exploring opportunities for media professionals in times of crisis. the global media for june 2020 to your ticket now, to come have a tv. tv highlights you every week in your inbox. subscribe now. ah ah, ah, ah, it's a sad story and a devastating one. a bore in ukraine continues with no on effects around the planet
4:31 am
. every one knows about it except many rations due to a media clamped down there. everyone's 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. there's 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 include it. 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 hats when shore 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 at sea. what's the german city of shredded brandenburg going to do if russian oil gets banned? the place lives from its refinery,
4:32 am
which processes oil from russia. entire industrial region relies on that black, sticky stuff. a whole 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
4:33 am
a riff and no one knows what's going on. every one's afraid. one, especially people who work here. you know, we're also afraid of what will happen next. and so it will become an industrial wasteland. we could build a leisure park here and flights i pod my ankle cattle. anyone 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 whether jobs clear are at risk or whether this place will be shut down. it'll only affect the local population. competent, 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 this 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
4:34 am
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 from in the home 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 shred refinery shuts down,
4:35 am
he wants to procure a fuel from abroad and imported to the region. fire truck or royal. 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. don't it? don't, isn't people, of course it's considerably more effective and efficient to transport a product 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 product. it's quite possible that the lights will soon go out at the sri. it refinery, a boycott of russian oil could also leave its mark on the german economy. so that
4:36 am
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 micro organisms mixed with mud, silt and sand were long buried and stopped. of oxygen heat and pressure converted the mock into hydrocarbons. in the 19th century, it was used for street lighting. it's also used for cooking ad russia olds, the largest natural gas reserves in the world. european winters can get very cold. and this year, russia could turn off its gas supply,
4:37 am
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 per if gas delivery were indeed cut off these facilities could cover around 3 months supply of the fuel door job 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 it's vito 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,
4:38 am
lower supplies from russia mean that much less gas has been stored right now. the reserves only reach around $0.33 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. those bits of 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 like better, 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 afflicting
4:39 am
a lend 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 l. n. 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 price, because a lot of european countries have in the past, used diversified. their empowers, especially because they have constructed liquefied natural gas terminals and the diversification strategy to also we're allow the flow off gas
4:40 am
from the west to the east, for example, not only to the east to the west, germany and the rest of europe are 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 steep, increase off 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 guest coming in. any more. that is not, that is not controlled by was area that said the coming winter will bring even higher gas prices for many in europe. heating will get more expensive and some will
4:41 am
choose to snuggle up in front of the fireplace. more often. that is, if they have one of the summers here around 2000 ukrainians, continue to arrive here in germany every day. after playing 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 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 m
4:42 am
mixup in the ocean. this feelings stay in before this, michelle and her chosen what, what do you want to what, what do you have to buy to be with products during the war? oh, good flight 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 it in the ukraine. i was there, i am a ship financial officer there. ah, but now i'm in the colony thompson,
4:43 am
and there is a book. but civility. go on, 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 co 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 the land, which of course, because a lot of jobs, it's actually hard. it needs to be in germany, even in some, somebody don't know germany or english at all. so it's, i think it's the main broad problem. but also,
4:44 am
and sometimes it's hard to connect to correct to her 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 jobs across europe. marcos 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 close the hall. following is that 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
4:45 am
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 lena 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
4:46 am
been looking for him for years since corona mining social. there are opportunities for refugees from ukraine to earn money in germany. for them, however, work is much more than just a source of income or views usage it almost anthony and again helps. so understand that life is more in on. and so we yes. where in the problem, in a huge problem, well in plain, but we have to leave, we'll have to leave father, we have the door to have hold. sometime this situation will will, and this is important because these women all one to go back to their homeland,
4:47 am
to rebuild the 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 off shore riggs. 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 thank of ship secretly,
4:48 am
because he shows something to should not be there. did you see it? that's what you to go. there it is. ah, this is a bail to bump. chips use it to illegally dom toxic wasting the ocean facebook daisy scold, bowed dumping and it's causing one of the worst environmental disasters at c. ringback so what is builds dumping and why are we not stopping? oh ah, 1st let's look at what builds it. water is a belt is the lowest spot of the ship, but the 2 sites meet the edge water is the water that accumulates here, except it's not exactly water. ringback ships of this size are massive machines with lab, your intake pipe systems, engines bigger than coach buses. burning streams of heavy fuel oil,
4:49 am
the pipes can leak, the oil can spill, and the engine sneak cooling and cleaning. all these liquids are collected in the belt and it's not a nice view. oh, we know very well that oil can chopping kill animals. well, there's water contains oil, 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. phase is the heart of a normal healthy fish larva, these is that of a larva exposed to oil. the result, a smaller heart, a slower heart beat, and the lower chances of surviving vans 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 bench dumping problem 20 years ago when he found that sky
4:50 am
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 a very new technology i was regularly see these dark streaks on the water. no, we're not natural. that often had a big ship a vessel, the n enter bailed, stumpy. and 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 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,
4:51 am
so that vessels can avoid branding 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 can 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 for this investigation. algorithms were trained to automatically recognize potential spills. in one year we found $1500.00 potential dams in you waters alone. the whole done, this weighs roughly equivalent to 5 times the $989.00 exxon valdez spiel. one of the worst marine environment though, even worse death, a conservative estimate,
4:52 am
and even wars, hardly anybody knows about it in the even worse phases of 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 carrying 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 legal case to be taken as proof. a visual confirmation must come from someone on the ground. hello, kept them nice to meet you. we are, he had to carry all the marble inspection. there are chew bars with easy sections.
4:53 am
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 attachment about oh, on spectrum all with no deficiencies. thank you. no problem at this time. but that doesn't mean builds dumping isn't happening. yeah, vocally guns can 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 the muslim host gods only inspect the fraction of the ships and only check those already docking a port. not the nicest my the dumping occurs, but there is some one else on the ground that can confirm what satellites reveal.
4:54 am
someone who follows this ships wherever they go. whistleblowers. hello, a hello. how are you? i'm good little luez. how are you? i'm good. this is one of 5 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's the build stick. and here is the notorious builds pump. so what we did was b, you will start bump, transferred from the bench to another dime, colace the teen drain back in the office. but the doctor stuck, only clean liquid comes into it and we have facility misjudged the contents of it. and here you have it, benz dumping one. the one of the id is that bill pumps are designed to
4:55 am
prevent oil pollution. so the purpose of the sponsored actually to collect oil from the ocean and bumping will save space but died. and he is that they use the same pump for the doctor if such activities also tend to happen when there's bad weather . so does this make ok anything and night? take it easy, the dog and old too often. it is definitely the non it is expected that everyone been silently participate in florida. there was a writer about just orders. one gets used word one, but not everyone whistleblowers 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. we shouldn't have to rely on their courage to protect our ocean. oh,
