hand, plastic, trash, plagues much of the world when canyon start up is now turning it into every day items below. welcome to the show i'm seen because in berlin is, could have you with us. might europe be on the cost of a new era of nuclear power? beginning today, the controversial energy source is getting more support on the e you level. as the czech republic assumes the eat, you counsel presidency leaders, there's a pushing up support for atomic energy is a priority. a parts of europe, germany, denmark, and austria in particular, have fiercely opposed efforts to encourage nuclear in the past. prague, however, sees things differently of special delivery from russia as the war rages in ukraine . uranium fuel rods are being delivered to the timely nuclear power plant in the czech republic. many lights would go out in the country without the russian uranium fuel rods. nuclear power accounts for 40 percent of the country's energy production

. the delivered fuel rods will keep the nuclear reactors running for the next few years. i'm for nuclear energy. it's one of the few energy sources where everything works. between i'm a geologist, i know about it and i have a clear opinion which i mean we should have built more nuclear power plants long ago. then we would have safe energy today. the check republics to nuclear power plants add to moline and duco vonny. our aging both were built during this soviet era. the reactor and duke of arnie is a mix of western control technology and soviet engineering. the nuclear power plant has never reached western safety standards. there were repeated emergency shut downs caused by defective components. meanwhile, the expansion of renewable energy has been prevented and delayed.

as that is, the geographical location of our country is not good for wind energy. for example, we don't have a see where the wind blows strongly name, obviously. and we don't have much sun, especially in winter go be. that's why nuclear energy is so important in our energy mix. the czech republic has never had a significant anti nuclear movement. one of the country's few well known opponents, his career, poland ascii. he's critical of the government's plans to build 2 new nuclear power plants by 2036. the new model is perceived as a major capacity of the country to master complicated technology like nuclear power . because many people are proud of the fact that the check republican organized the construction of a nuclear power plant jekyll, actually, it's seen as something positive with music of them either capital, the latest uranium fuel rods from russia will keep the check nuclear reactors

online for another 3 to 4 years after that, they will be replaced by western made ones, which will have to be technically adapted. karen pedal heads, the eco center for energy climate and resources immune eggs. she joins me for more . at karen, i want to start with germany. we just heard about the jack republic there. germany is phasing out nuclear energy at same time, it's facing an energy crunch in the short term because of russia and any long term because of climate. is it just a matter of time before berlin begins to take nuclear seriously? again, i don't believe though, i believe so at least not in the long run. i'm there is at the moment discussions about belonging, the duration at which the remaining 3. it's only 3 power plants could be running. so either kind of light letting them run longer, the existing or the already the fuel rods already in place or i have one more round

. if you want a new fuel rod spot in the long term, i don't see a future of nuclear energy in germany. what's the biggest opposition from germany? briefly, if you can, there's a long history, of course, behind this. but how would you explain this to viewers who might not be familiar with it? i mean a couple of issues, but i think safety is one of the main concerns and also the question, what do you do with the fuel rods? once they are taken out of the reactor and have to be stored somewhere permanently . so both aspects are really behind the discussion about nuclear energy and now combined also with the fact that renewable energy have become so much cheaper in the last decades. we know that check republican france or among those countries planning boat outs, belgium and korea have reversed their plans to phase out nuclear. is nuclear, a long term solution for these countries, or is it just a bridging to get through perhaps a wider build out of renewables? what are we seeing and for some countries it's actually something that they want to

pursue in the long run. the czech republic, for example, they are opposing the stipulations in the taxonomy in the you taxonomy so far that it is only to be considered as a bridging technology. they really want to use nuclear power to actually do carbon i stair power system in the long run. you mentioned that you taxonomy that of course, i sort of ranks or i would say provides a pathway for investors to invest in energy sources that are considered green or the importance with a climate transition. nuclear has controversially been put on there, that, that sort of wobbling right now. in your opinion, does it help nuclear for it to be on that list? is that something that should happen in my opinion, does help nuclear. because if you're on that list, you're more easily and get access to state funding, public funding, public support um for building you paul plan. so that definitely helps the question

whether it should be on there is a different one. i do not believe the so because it's not a green technology, it might be climate neutral technology or at least with loads, but to consider it green and with low environmental hazards. i find that really problematic, but the same holds of course also with respect to nuclear gas, which is natural gas, which is also on that list. the i. e, a, the international energy agency agency release reports today saying that nuclear needs the player should be considered as a major part of climate transitions. for many countries in the without nuclear, it will be much more difficult. is germany putting itself in a bind by not going to nuclear as it tries to transition to climate friendly energy sources and stay away from russian energy. i do not believe at this point any more. m, if we had decided earlier to stay in nuclear power, it might make a difference. but starting to build new nuclear power plants. now, as i said,

we only have 3 remaining that are running would take very long. so it would take 10 to 15 years to buy, build the new ones. and also nuclear power is by no means cheap when you buy a built new nuclear power plant. so for germany as an option to decrease their emissions from our emissions from power production fast, it is not really an option. maria, karen pitiless director of the etha center for energy climate and resources. thank you very much. and out of some of the other global business stories making headlines, average inflation in europe rose to another record high in june. consumer prices, the 19 euros on countries reaching 8.6 percent. that's half a percentage point up from may. german inflation dropped half a point. meanwhile, while inflation in spain rose above the 10 percent threshold for the 1st time since 1085, the u. s. supreme court has delta blow to president biden's green energy policies.

it rule to restrict the environmental protection agency's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. the decision is also likely to limit the scope of the regulatory powers of american federal agencies. over the italy, we're a major drought is cutting into farm production across the country's north. italian farmers association estimates this year's lack of rainfall could cost over 3000000000 euros, harming grazing pastors for cattle, as well as fruit and vegetable harvests. rice production has also been hit hard in the region as our next report shows. dis rice. paddy isn't italy's resort to heartland in the not like many others. it's been scarred by the heat wave that is causing the worst drought in 70 years. luigi federated says he has never seen anything like it a lot. i, he or i've been working as a farmer for 25 years, and i've never seen a situation like this. my disorder,

i've lost around 30 percent off my crops, because with the little water we have, we're not able to irrigate anymore. well, a ballpark what cabbie are more, no shower, a guy more than a tour of italy's agriculture depends on the poll river, but it's been drying up due to a local friend, worse that's coast salt, water from to see, to enter the room contaminating the irrigation canals that supply cornfields and rice patties. that's deadly for the crops. when he said he can't walk, walk up on where that is, i this rice, paddy which hasn't been irrigated for 2 weeks. and 90 percent of the class, i have completely dried up at a chain through the piano. they complete the man fish gothic. the draught comes with the russian war against ukraine that is already causing shortages and driving prices. and even if it starts raining to day, much of the damage has already been done. plastic waste is

a major contribute to pollution around the world, lagging of landfills and during beaches. a company out of kenya has found a clever solution for dealing with a problem. they're all while saving customers money to look these marabou. storks aren't the only ones picking through piles of trash employees of noma, green plastic limited are looking through it too. they sift through open air landfills like this one. searching for plastic. they can break down and re purpose we believe we contribute to that auction on climate change in 2 ways. one is that we clean up the environment to tick their with plastic from landfills and we know the contribution of lanfield to global warming. and in the thick and weary also, our products are very good substitute for wood. the plastic is melted down and molded into affordable every day. products, like chairs, tables,

and basic building components. stumbling requote, what was law? i used to buy wooden poles for building fences. people would steal them at night and use them as firewood for cooking. so now i use these plastic ones as lot the lot the both are yes. and the start up salvage is 40 tons of plastic each month. bit by bit. it's making a big difference of the normal plastic pause. i given young trees on opportunity to be able to grow because they're saving distance from being cut down and used us both. and as this is co pays quest, a more coupling from the environment and they're contributing much in the fight on climate change. these canyons hope it will be their initiative, not plastic that has a lasting impact on the planet. and finally the f. b, i has added a bulgarian fraud sir known as the crypto queen to its most wanted list for running

a virtual currency scheme worth up to $4000000000.00. roja ignite tova who is also a german citizen, touted one coin as the next big coin. she claimed one coin had a private block chain untrue. her operation operation was essentially a pyramid scheme. ignatz over disappeared in 2017 when she learned that she was under investigation by the authorities. that's our show. you can find out more about these and other business stories online. d, w dot com slash business checks out on youtube as well under the d w news channels . ah, with
