ah, 3 times long past, but still very much alive. d. w, travel yo guy to the central southern germany, europe. i knew you recognized where exactly was fun. i learned a lot. our culture history. all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit. oh, the up to date you don't miss our highlights. the p w program online. d w dot com highlights. mm hm. ah, welcome to global 3000 empty seats. how brazil, schools are trying to attract students back to class. hot i in the steel industry

needs to clean up. it sounds good. is that even possible? and low current house, south africans cope with an erotic energy supply. without electricity, a modern world would grind to a halt. no power means no. mobile phones, no internet access bridges, no heating, no cash machines, trains at a standstill and no petrol either. and crucially, 2, it means dullness. according to one study, last year alone, 350000000 people worldwide experienced major power outages. why do they happen? poor maintenance of power plants lack of modernization or simply to few power plants for the growing demand. on top of this climate change driven extreme weather regularly brings down power, lines and highlands in south africa. poa cancer,

a frequent occurrence for years. the state attic tricity supply has struggled to meet demands. they meet with the means to find a way around when it's dark and the power goes out. it's especially hard. 2 and a half hours of total darkness and large parts of so ito, because the national energy provider can generate enough power and it happens up to twice a day. oh, for no to love debate, it means that her scorns won't be ready in time. they need to be banked fresh each day if they're to sell like hot cakes. normally business is good enough for nope, which will the do bit and her daughter to get by. but recent weeks have been tough . the power was switched off daily in their district. a state mandated energy saving measure, known in south africa as load shedding. we don't shaken good. c

e o chang is driving us crazy, harassing them. i have a small business and we're trying to grow. but this is holding us back a long time we gazed, sometimes i have things in the oven when they shut off the electricity and i can't finish baking them in, then they all have to be thrown out. agatha, she's angry at the government. 2 and a half hours without electricity means getting her sconce to market that much later . and then cuts into her earnings the the whole country is suffering as a result. for the past 15 years, south africa state owned electricity provider has had to interrupt supply to certain areas to prevent the power grid from collapsing. however, this winter has been especially hard and it's affecting all sections of the population. janice schecter is an entrepreneur who also runs against house and one of johannesburg wealthy suburbs. her life is organized around the power outages.

so we have it, whoa, whoa, f that shows her suburb where we're going to have married kitty that we're going to have stays went from 7 am to 4 pm and not every one on the group is going to zoom in the or suburb the power will be switched off every night this week. at least there stove runs on gas. so luckily we could finish making dinner. we can, we can, we can be on line full fun on of hoff. usually we actually sit and chat i. there we go. okay, sir. okay, so would i need to do a need to get some lights on? well, yes sir, janet schechter turns on the battery powered lights that were charged during the day and are distributed throughout the house powered by

a battery. and this recharge as, while the power is her husband brings a battery powered light for the stairs. so no one falls down with coming down the stairs. this is, this is the darker side of south africa, so that august's of 5, the country has all the raw materials. it needs to produce energy, mainly domestic coal. it's bad for the environment, but there is enough of it. there are enough power plants to but after years of mismanagement and corruption, they're so poorly maintained that they're feeling more and more often. the power has never gone out as often as it has this winter. those who can afford it are making themselves independent from the state power grid in johannesburg. many are installing solar panels. the ideal solution in a land where the sun shines for 9 hours a day, even in winter. that's crazy busy. it's. we typically rain the demand to people wouldn't understand. we getting up to 500 phone calls

a day. a lot of the people that tell us just money with so long paid loach in the power cuts are promoting the use of green energy. but only for those who have enough money, most people here can't afford the roughly 15000 euro investment. for many years ago, i'd the we, we headed the electric stove and we made it a conscious decision to move away from electricity. we had a nice serrano top glass top and we moved away from the the glass top and we went to guess i would suggest to 2 people out there to look for you. alternative sources, look at green, an energy. look at your sailors and see what's available on the market. he advises people to have as many different energy sources as possible. that way there's a back up if one power source fails. but that's too costly for people in the townships

. not only do they have to live with the power outages, the constant shut offs have damage. no, go to the do bed stove. it still hates but only on the highest setting feature or and off. yeah. get back to me that i have to go to meeting and i wish the government would listen to us here because it's not just my stove that's broken, it's my fridge has stopped wash nato. will you see when the power came back on there was a power surge, and now i don't have a fridge. let the government tell us when they let this thing and and she just doesn't make enough money with her scans to buy new ones. in europe to the war in ukraine has led to rising energy costs and fee as of fuel shortages. more than 50 percent of the energy used in germany's manufacturing sector comes from electricity and gas. the chemical and metal industries are the biggest consumers, but they also offer the greatest potential when it comes to reducing our overall

energy consumption and cutting greenhouse gas emissions. this of the metal that makes the modern world tick. imagine a life without it. no cause poems, duchess, electricity. but this one, the material that alive the built around carry the dirty secret that nobody is talking about. the steel industry is responsible for jaw dropping, 8 percent of the wealth, greenhouse gas pollution. and bizarrely, we're actually going to need a lot more of it to clean up our economies. so how can we make steel green and what's wrong with the industries favorite solutions? there are 2 reasons. the steel making process was so dirty. the 1st, if purifying thine or needed the steel by heating i annoy, but charco fire though, mixing it with coca cola and big blast furnaces. you can extract pure iron from rock. not because oxygen atoms in the ion or fly off and bind with carbon atoms in

the cold. what left behind is essentially pure iron known as reduced. i'm and a whole load of c o 2. the 2nd reason steel sucks is that it takes colossal amounts of energy to power this process. and most of that comes from you guessed it, burning cold. today. 72 percent on a global level are produced by this production developed. this is vito v touch co, a steel analyst at german climate thinktank acorda in a given the he says we're running out of time. the investment decisions still make of make to day a crucial because these co fight loft. vanessa have a lifetime of 15 to 20 years and after that need to be repaired or retired. the 2020s are very critical. the kate industry guides because more than 70

percent of the global blast furnace fleet will reach the end of day campaign life and require the investment entry investment decision. so what should still make of be doing right now? either j hydrogen, hydrogen, it only jim's a wonders of hodgen hydrogen as a gas and fuel that can be made cleanly with renewable energy. oh, much less clearly with fossil gas. if you reduce ion all with hydrogen, oxygen atoms no longer react with carbon atoms to make c o 2. instead, they react with hydrogen atoms to make a h 2. 0, the beauty about this concept is ah, yes, you needs a new production process. but as a by product, you have water instead of c o 2. and, and this is how we can make the steel making process timing of the 2nd step and then feeding the purified ion into an electrical furnace. these devices meltdown scrap steel or reduced. i am with high currents of electricity

that turn them into liquidity. and ideally they would be running on electricity made from renewable energy. that's pretty much what swedish steel make a s s a b did last year when it delivered the wolf 1st batch of fossil free steel to comic of over europe. steel. make of the betting that hydrogen will be the petro steel right now. it cosmo to make it this way. but if the gas prices stay high and carbon taxes rise, switching away from fossil fuels will become increasingly attracted from a business perspective too. but of course, using hydrogen learn doesn't make steal greek. it's a process with several layers. kind of feels like an onion. this is caitlin swelling. a steel on the list at the u. s. based non profit, global energy one into the 1st layer is to make sure your electric arc furnace unit is running completely on like green energy. but then you need to make sure that the reducing agent in the direct reduce iron plants is hydrogen. but that's not enough

. you have to make sure that that hydrogen is actually being produced through an electrolyzer that's operating on 100 percent green. ah, renewable energy. sir, time for hydrogen right? well, unfortunately, over the couch, you need a lot of hydrogen, like ready, floats. makes more to steal into you out of hydrogen would require about $6000000.00 tons of the gulf. just to satisfy the steel industry, hydrogen, if you need almost as many wind turbines that you have to date, if not impossible, but it is a logistical nightmare. and one of the big challenges is where we build these hydrogen ah, production facilities. it needs to happen in places that have that renewable energy capacity for the problem so far is lots of still making regions. 3rd, public capacity for at least don't have plans to build a top anytime soon. and piping more. shipping, green,

hydrogen from elsewhere requires infrastructure to do so. and that all mean hydrogen can't be the whole solution. but the powerful waste simply by the problem that sounds almost too good to be true. recycling, you might not expect it, but still is already one of the most recycled materials in the world. more than a quarter of the steel made today comes from recycled scrap steel. the new d need that basically because the 1st step of purifying iron or is expensive melting down old steel. well, that's much cheaper. we have a rising stock, sculpus steel scrap. because whenever a car, whenever a breach, whenever a building beach at the end of the lifetime, this deal scratch is collected sorted and then can be melted in electric oxygen to produce new still reciting. most fuel could massively help in cutting the industry energy demand. but there are limits each time you price a steel little impurities,

like cauffron nickel can sneak in and we can the metal. that means you can't recycle it forever. a 3rd solution is to keep the blast furnace as we're already using, but catch the emissions before they escape into the atmosphere. that's what advocates of carbon capture cooling for. fossil fuel companies say the principal, a simple stick, a box on top of the polluting pipe, and sack up the sphere to that comes out so you can use it in industry or start safely underground. the reality is trickier. today, capture rates are often low and casa hot. what's more of the fossil fuel industry has used the promise of carbon capture and storage will cease? yes, as an excuse to keep on polluting. but when it comes to be copied, i think heavy industries, i must do broadly agree that ccf the vital role to play alongside hydrogen. we're way behind and where will be promotional and going. and this is largely down into a company in auction on the policy level. this is eva penner from the cleaner task

force. it's one of the few environmental organizations calling to put money into capturing carbon. one of the reasons why we know we don't know answers to questions like capture rates or how would it work in a commercial scale is because your company's how them, how to actually reduce their mission. the international energy agency expects carbon capture to cover half of will steal production by 2050, the climate friendly scenario. if it works, it would free up hydrogen to be used in other processes that are also hot clean. but to date, we don't really know what chair of emissions ccs can actually capture from steel. if steel make a stick to blast furnaces, but c c s doesn't quickly become cheap or efficient. the cold a burn. we'll just keep on polluting. we console steel by giving up on it, but there's a huge amount policy make then companies can do to get the tech solutions working

access to education, a shared learning environment and a group of peers barely anything is more important for children. but the corona virus pandemic turned life upside down for around one point. 5000000000 children worldwide. with schools closed homeschooling and remote learning became the reality for many education was already a global issue. even before the pandemic, the 258000000 children worldwide had no access to schooling, the pandemic made the situation much worse. for months, 463000000 children found themselves out of school. and even in early 2022, millions of children were missing from classrooms. most schools have reopened, including in brazil, but many children are still staying away. to ivy toria,

lima loves to slew the route she wagner and gabriella have tough cases to solve. together, there, the school detectives on a special mission lies. now, if you go back and i l u vomiting got that was sci fi t? as in nancy, we're detectives because we look for missing students and bring them back because he had skin on him. but when there's school in rio de janeiro reopened a year ago, almost half the students didn't return. during the pandemic, homeschooling was an illusion, says principal carolina taylor. a lot of students have no smartphone or internet access. they stay away, but schoolmates track them down. but that when each with age in life, it's good for the children themselves to play a major role, you think they can motivate their classmates in the say, i'm here, learn any come and join us. lucky them say, asked ovation that the school sleuths are inspired by budding detectives from tv shows and the principal found their outfits in carnival collections. dressing up

makes the paperwork more bearable. together they pour over lists. students who are often absent or fell to hand in assignments will get a phone call later or personal visit. 1000 students. one goal with visitors don't cancel in the wrong things on the street and they should come to school and learn something valuable. every one should go to school that i have in question. oh, carolina taylor looks artful. her students here their days are structured and they receive a meal. and moral support for to annie. her principal is a role model and confidant. i wish this isn't much for martha. the children need to change their reality themselves at age. now the school is open and waiting for them . i squat up. i may have to buy wild only. yeah, they are planning to pay a surprise visit today. katie, though not far away from the school. cutlass edwardo is also looking for missing

students known as car do. he's one of the few who venture into the fabulous insert of them. are clues my place that socially invisible visibility, that's what people don't talk about already. if somebody feel grab, there's nothing here after hit me for present. it's of forgotten place. dorothy, now i got gauge garcia, students are older. so instead of studying many of them work to help support their families. will he find missing students here? anyone who wants to enter this for vale or needs to know someone like silver people, your work without contracts or future security. and as brazil, social inequality grows. so do the fabulous. without it to cation car, do you says it's impossible to get a good job. suddenly high school dropout, gabrielle shows up nice all up, but me on which one with the why no salvage air conditioners of the scrapyard was

this i went up on the meal was if you dropped out before the them and right. right . and if you knowledge, and then i've been in a couple of lunch, gabriella, let's go before the panorama. it looks like so many we weren't able to reach emily about. he's one of those who drive down just, i mean for you, i could do hope gabrielle will return and that schools won't have to close again due to cov, at 19 each qualify cools, be no safe space, no food, no education. meanwhile, colina taylor and his student shawnee visit marlena, the face of the checker. when school reopened, the children didn't show 3 missing kids with the same last name. the detectives alert at the principal the one when the student may area so me they all shouted. principal, kara lina, then everyone knew i was taught man because you know what i thought of i do back then she puffed by in person because marlena didn't realize school has started

again despite all the news in the papers and on social media. that's because marlena is illiterate, you don't wish you can get past you. i don't want my children to be like me. i can't read and write and i want them to go to school and have a future color. wonderful, thank you, ma'am. a lot of students will need here to catch up back at the school, the 3 detectives are handing out documents for the new academic year. after the holidays, they'll be moving on to high school. they all plan to keep on studying. i feel like, you know, things are going to profit. my dream is to be a teacher and a principal don't. so i need to work hard lab. i don't my, some of them. the bowen latria will have to be replaced by 3 new detectives as they've accomplished their mission. by the end of the school year, almost all of the missing students were back in class.

a dog is a person's best friends. well, they're suddenly one of the world's most popular domesticated animals estimate suggest around 470000000 dogs, a kept as pets worldwide. but the picture is not always is rosy as this one. millions of dogs a cast out by their owners every year. they end up in rescue centers or roam the streets as strays. exact statistics are hard to come by, but animal rights activists suggest as many as 202500 1000000. and the pandemic st . made things worse. pasco has a new sweater. something he could have only wished for when he was still living on the street. but now when he has a new owner, they're not as i give me a buck for more of them, it ice, it was love at 1st. scientifically. when i saw him, i thought he's so beautiful as will believe that what he also seem incredibly old.

holy cow. cool. but i'm pretty sure he was abandoned renella quite a bit back or likely doesn't remember much about his former life. he was probably left on the street by his previous owner at the beginning of the pandemic in los angeles, gomez. the only allowed thought as was that he couldn't see out of one eye and the vent suggested surgery to remove it if they thought he'd been beat were very badly for the war. so he underwent an operation and they said, oh, here is that animal rights activist. andrea galindo was the one who found him there, that when i said the death during locked down, rumors circulated that post a threat to every dog in bogota via the yes her if what that really. but okay, it was this horrible that people thought that dogs were spreading cove it. oh, don't know. people just abandoned them. no matter how long they had the dogs to. but i have even 7 years in course, yet they those hanging on. it was just merciless. and terribly hard on the animal,

only dawdle white dawdle, but they weren't used to surviving on the streets outside. like i did. suddenly they were alone. i did with rosie, and those hill lip belt for over 2 years, volunteers have been working to care for the strays they collect food and trying to provide veterinary care. but there are just too many dogs and those as well as the emissivity and yes, we received donations and people help us out. i don't. there is a lot of solidarity. young echo more by ease i asked, but people have to be able to afford. it is yes, yes, one good on this and lose a lot of social inequality in our country. second ha. and that means that we can't take care of all the animals on the mileage. some of the dogs are lucky and find a new home like pocket did. the son of paco's owner is really happy about having

a new family member. he and polco. clearly he's pretty happy to. i want to put up that there are too many stray dogs running around, but we can improve their lives. yeah, thank you for animal welfare activist, andrea galindo, paco's new life is validation enough for her work. she is lost count of how many dogs she's helped. and every animal she finds has a place in her heart known as i think i've shown you. it's hugely gratifying. i always tell myself that's one animal of humor that suffering. but too few strays are as luckiest paco's. his new owner says faith led him to her. is legal. these i because the pandemic gave us pocketbook giggles. i'm was case give to you. we have no idea how much you change your life,

the daycare left feel. i think he was predestined to find us. so look at 4 more, it just take him 3 years to find ourselves. the goal is to be fun. this is his home, but it does look awesome. there are still over 60000 stray dogs in bogota. each one also hoping to find a forever home and that so from us at global 3000 this weekend, do drop us a line to global 3000 at d, w dot com and check out our facebook page d w global ideas. see you next week. ah, [000:00:00;00]

with who i from an i among off road vehicle. we check out the 5th

generation financial arrange all the supreme lecturing. is this taken really while driving rep? 90 minutes on d. w. law has no limit. to love is for everybody. love is live, love matters. and that's my new podcast. i'm abilene sharma, and i really think we need to talk about all the topics that north divides and deny that. and this i have invited many deer and well known guests. and i would like to invite you to an end the or eternal program, dynamite and the pillar of sticks and society. a symbol of arbitrary

rule. in the struggle for justice taxes. in many ways, i think taxation is one of the most extreme actions by a government, but it's also the definition of government because without taxation, there's no government the right to levy taxes and the obligation to pay them both inherent in the sovereignty of nation states and their citizens, but what happens when the power of taxation is undermined? a tax on top of the tax on top of the tax. that's the straw that broke the camel's back. i've been ranting forever. thinking to myself here. when's it all going to come crashing down? can't pay won't pay taxation and politics starts october 21st on

d w ah ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. ukraine continues to regain territory and areas claimed by russia. president zalinski says troops have liberated more towns and several regions,
