harvested by people lamore being exploited this time at this was the invoice that the green revolution on some absolutely necessary europe revealed the future is being determined. now, our documentary theories will show you how people, companies, and countries are rethinking everything, and making later changes to europe revealed starts november 3rd on d, w. ah, ah, ah, welcome to global 3, thousands global. well, this distributed hugely unequally. we meet someone who's nonetheless managed to lead quite literally to

a better life. luxury bunkers in the u. s. the business of fia is booming. and why the super rich are doing poorly when it comes to the climate ever more money ever more possessions. nastier global private assets hit a new record level of $473.00 trillion us dollars. despite all of the current crises, values have continued to increase than i was more than 10 percent compared to last year. the super rich club has around $69000.00 members, all of whom have assets of more than a $100000000.00. most of them live in the us. china comes in 2nd, followed by germany inside place. this comparatively tiny

group of super wealthy individuals owns 15 percent of whole global wealth. not only is this disproportionate but so is that environmental footprints welcome to the polluted lives of the filthy rich. this is a world of helicopters, jets, mansions, and rockets. cutting these peoples emissions is the easiest wind for the climate. it comes at 0 cost to anyone except them and well, they can afford it. so just how dirty are the world's richest people? and how do we clean them up? answering the 1st question is tricky, because nobody is forced to report their own emissions. scientists take estimates of the carbon pollution from an activity or product and combine them with data about how often you do or buy it. that's hard enough to get right for yourself.

when it comes to billionaires, this is even harder because you don't have them much information about them. researcher batteries borrows, worked out the carbon footprints of 20 billionaires in 2018. we had to work with what we had. we had to work with millionaire school whose lifestyle is a glamour eyes, who often appear in the media, who show, show off their yards, their private chance. that meant they ignored some of the richest people in asia. but in europe and the us, they found plenty of material to keep them busy. take roman abramivitch, the russian oligarchy, steele magnet and former football club owner. his 162 meter long yacht has 2 hello pads and kinda unnecessarily for a boat to swimming pools. powering this single ship with diesel makes up the bulk of his colossal carbon footprint. how about microsoft founder bill gates?

he's a billionaire who at least gets the problem avoiding a climate disaster. so we need green cement, green steel to bring the missions from all those areas down to 0. gates has written an entire book about avoiding a climate disaster. and his credit, he doesn't own a mega yacht, but bill gates flew around the world with his private jet so much that in 2018, the emissions from his transport were still the same as around $4000.00 indians or 500 americans. these millionaires, they are aware of the social capital of, of kenny about the environment of buds. i don't see them doing anything about it, at least in their, in their personal behavior. it's not just celebrities who are the problem. inequality is falling between countries, but growing within them and in cities around the world, the widening gap between the rich and the rest also applies to emissions. let's

look at the top one percent of global earners. that somebody earning a yearly salary of about a $190000.00. these people live in cities from miami to mom, buy and they're responsible for one 5th of the growth in carbon pollution in the last 30 years. the shock one percent you c k s. now she's about 50 percent. oh humanity. that's anesha nazareth from the stock home environment institute. i see. oh yes. in jasa. but a big problem is you are you ready for widigar influences to campaign donations and influence and general unless it is yes. there are 2 ways this takes place. the 1st is full scale lobbying. rich people have poured money into preserving the status quo, which is working out pretty well for them. and society glamorize is the rich from jeff bezos blasting into space to kim carr dash ins. holidays were obsessed with

their opulent lifestyles, and often want them for ourselves. so how can we clean them up? the 1st answer is the most obvious. don't let the super rich get so rich in the 1st place. the problems of capitalism are beyond the scope of this video. but even hardcore ideologues admit the ultra rich, often avoid taxes and exploit loopholes in the system to grow even richer. by raising taxes, closing legal loopholes and cracking down on tax havens policy makers can make it more costly for the wealthy to pollute. and in doing so, they'd raise money to invest in clean energy infrastructure. but bear in mind, it's not just the ultra rich to emit way too much. the best example of this is flying. if you've set foot on a plane this year, you belong to the elite 2 to 4 percent of the population that flies in a given year. and if you fly more than once a year,

your carbon footprint is pretty much guaranteed to be incompatible with doing your fair share for a stable climate. one way to solve this is a carbon tax raise the cost of flying to reflect the damage it does to the planet. and a lot more people will holiday closer to home. sounds simple, but it also makes flying the thing that's already only accessible to a small group of people, even more elite. you would have to set a blanket carbon tax extremely high to deter the frequent flyers and business travelers. that same added cost would be felt much more by a middle class family wealthy is specifically the one percent, will always buy their way out of carbon, texas, just because they can. this is stefan gosling, a sustainability researcher, who says we should focus on the super frequent flyers. people who for instance, take more than 12 flights a year. we've moved, they are just one percent of the west population. this little group will account

for more than half off all the vh emissions system that's causing a year. one way to address this is to increase the cost of flying for every extra flight you take. this is known as a frequent flyer levy. it will cut demand for air travel without pushing the activity further into the hands of the very richest. that sounds like an idea everybody could get behind. right. in reality, we see a surprising support of the lifestyle of the very wealthy, but it would be a mistake to focus solely on what rich people buy. because people who are wealthy contribute the most to costing climate change there. unfortunately, the also in the most ideal position to help us mitigate climate change. this is christy medicine, a scientist, and lead author of a study on what the richest one percent can do to stop climate change. in the paper, we sketch 5 different roles. the 1st one is what they do as

a consumer. we broaden that tool to consider. what can they do with investors? because the more wealth and income you have, the more money you can invest into companies, linked to fossil fuel or a renewable energy production. because rich people have more influence within organizations, they can also lobby for change where they work. cleaning up the lifestyles of the rich is a clear cut wind for the climate. but for the most part, the rich aren't going to just de carbonized themselves. policies that redistribute their wealth need to gain societal acceptance policies that target their emissions need to avoid a backlash from people who look up to their lifestyles. recognizing that the wealthy have more power to stop climate change is the 1st step to tackling their outside pollution. natural disasters, pandemic, terrorism war, many people worldwide have started preparing themselves for such scenarios. they stocking up on provisions and weapons and even building private funk as

profits as so ring for purchases of such equipment as cash to be made from people's fear. their teeth bared and the welding torch is in action at this facility in dallas, texas millions are being made from selling fear, or ron hubbard builds bunkers for private individuals. and they're in demand like never before. a glimpse into doomsday real estate. you'll notice the framework, the walls, the beams, and the ceiling. it's all built to the standard. i'm a brand new house. there's nothing about it that says a dust roll or military. these are log 3 bomb shelters for the world's elite. since the pandemic and rushes invasion of ukraine hubbard has more money than he knows what to do with. he spends a lot on his favorite toys as he calls them several $100000.00 worth of guns.

in ron hubbard's business safety concerns make the cash registers ring even the fact that his idol had to leave the white house benefits his bottom line. donald trump is bad for business when it comes to bunkers and guns. now when trump is in business, gun sells, go down. bunker sells go down because the people who buy bunkers are conservative, they feel safe. so they don't buy bunkers. when a democrat is in office, we don't feel safe and we, they buy bunkers. so biden is good, great for business. the war in europe is also great for bunker sales, where other c, d, and suffering hubbard sees a business opportunity. this video shows him in ukraine 2 months ago. he's thinking of opening a factory here to maybe sell his bunkers to ukrainians too. it could be a booming market or you got this one. i hope that when the war and this will become

a big tourist for, for the rest of europe, everybody will come here to see all the blood a pike. that will be a good thumbnail right there in the fear of war and disaster is now so great that some americans are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on shelters. hubbard's clients arrive in ferrari's or bentley's like here. bill sinclair is the head of a big american insurance company. i am a few weeks after the war and ukraine began. st clair ordered his $500000.00 luxury bunker. a lot of people have written. ready it off as it's, it's not going to be a part of the society, the millennials, the generation actors, the people that have never seen or been part of a war because we haven't had war. you know, since the sixty's. and i think this brings it full circle and let them know that

the world we live in is not 100 percent stable environment where everybody gets long. this house is like a fortress. it's owned by thomas jana. check a doctor who's lived here for 11 years. he built most of the place himself, including the bunker that lies beneath it. all that's missing. why are the interior fittings? i had had the house to build 1st and then the wife wanted the pool. patty opened his fur after the house, so this was kind of last resort. janet jack hopes to put the finishing touches on next year when it's like many of his compatriots. he's lost faith in government institutions. he no longer trusts them to protect his wife and children in case of an emergency being father and husband. couple of my job, 35 for the family, and right for the safety and living here. the storm tornadoes just having

a storm shelter was born and having storm shelter. we had that underground in the deep enough than it crossed the protection of radiation. those who can't afford to buy a custom made shelter can rent one in south dakota. dante chino, purchased 575 former military bunkers, which served as ordinance depos during world war 2. today he leases them to private individuals, $45000.00 for a 99 year term. what we offer is very much a i think it's a solution to fear. you know, it may be the initial um, reason why people began looking because they are afraid of what may happen. people really aren't so afraid any more when they know that they have a bunker for themselves. his firm vivas has least most of its bunkers already. some

people only plan to use them in an emergency, but others live here at fort e glue all year round. maybe that's because here they feel safe from the disaster shown in the companies videos. these mixed the fear of real dangers with pseudo religious apocalyptic fantasies. but they seem to be effective in attracting clients. the bunkers themselves are 2nd world war and cold war era relics. the renewed interest in them shows many fear, a new era of conflict across the u. s. businesses profit from this angst. i don't feel that there's an ethical issue in it because i have people that come up to me on a pretty much daily if not weekly basis on who thank me for making this a reality, bedroom and dante ver, chino does his best to make them comfortable here, he's a trained architect who also finishes the shelters,

interiors. they're very much democratized and industry that may have never seen that level of accessibility before. and so now we've opened this whole market up to basically you know, all, all types of people and something that now, you know, middle class families can really afford. nearly a 3rd of us adults polled believe and apocalyptic disaster will occur in their life time. so businesses are helping them devise survival plans, which would previously had been considered absurd to feel safe. again, more and more americans are sinking their cash into reinforced concrete shelters. and going underground o planet is home to around 2400000000 children and young people. many a 3rd of the global population, the kind of stuff they get in life varies greatly around 260000000 children don't

go to school and millions even live on the street. but given the right opportunities, everything can change. it looks effortless. but the tricks that ja cooper's closin and his colleagues are doing take a lot of practice and usually it doesn't work right away with one of the club did you all was in one to get injured it's. it's the look of a difficult all go back toward because the 1st thing that is gonna be in your mind is that fall is going to happen again. or that club is gonna hit me again. normally if i for lots of bend up and say yes, let's go again one more time. and i always the 2nd time when they lead this attitude has brought your cooper's class in

a long way. he's one of zip zap circus is top performers. the academy in cape towns, woodstock district, offers free training to young people who want to go on stage funded in part by donations and performances. brent pennsburg and his wife lawrence founded zip zap in 1995, both our former circus artists. we believe that any kid and matter what the background, if they're given the opportunity in life and they are passionate about what they, they do and any child can make it. and a lot of kids who have talent and skills, often left beyond and zip said, you know, we kind of provide that platform to give children that maybe don't have as much as others the platform to do something with the life. yet cooper's closin whom every one here course trompe was one of those kids he and stage partner jason barnhart,

have been teaching and performing at zip sap. since graduating. they're not the most important things they want to convey to their students or passion, discipline, and teamwork. zip that brings people from all kinds of backgrounds together. after the lesson ya, cooper's closin and jason bon out have to practice, practice, practice. this demanding juggling number is part of the current state program. after a break, due to the pandemic, the troop can finally perform in front of a live audience again with for jak who was closin the live performance is create a very special bond between the audience and the artists. every time when i'm on stage i make people feel how i feel as as express the way i feel at that moment.

so if i feel a lot of love i make people feel love, that's why audience they always seem to glean. or they would send up in their land, would they have lots of energy after performing an overdose of euphoria and endorphins. yet cooper's closin has already been able to share this experience with fans all over the world. the zip sap circus has already taken him from the small south african town of powell to numerous countries. he's performed in front of tennis stars, roger federer, and andy murray. go and even at the white house during barrack obama's term, my toes with yahoo! bas closin has come a long way but to get this far, he said to overcome many obstacles. before he came to zip zap through

a youth outreach program and 2011. yahoo was carson lived on the streets. and in this home for young men streets to the stages of the world. how did you do it? i wanted more for myself. i didn't. that didn't think wolf going back to the rags. what gang sellers them and oh, i love that. ah, that didn't come close to my head and said a little gave me a taste that gave me a bite of the apple. and i told myself, i won. i won more of this apple. and today have got so much more of that apple. yet cooper's class ins day is not over yet. next stop. the zip zap dome and downtown cape town, a venue for performances and for afternoon training sessions. he coaches young sappers here several times a week. ya, cooper's clause and made it with

a clear goal in mind, but he knows you can't do it on your own. the most important thing is open yourself to other people. openness and mutual support. a message that seems to be more important to day than ever before. literacy is the key to education and success. and of course that includes reading books. according to unesco every year, around $1800000.00 books are published. that's almost 5000 every day. unlike other sectors, the book trade, whether the corona virus, pandemic wealth, including in columbia, in the middle of the locked down and locked away in her apartment, 22 year old gabriella para got serious about reading books. she even wrote notes in

the margins and underlined her favorite passages and those made bainbridge a clock. hello, you know, in 2020. i think i read about 40 books. i see and let me rent in 2021. i read 60 here, and it does mean rentals journals. $35.00 according they, and so far this year i've read $48.00. what's her limit of gabriella? para love's numbers. she studies mathematics. but during the pandemic, she developed a passion for fantasy literature. they're not on the shelves, she puts them in plastic bags to keep them dry. they're all books from independent publishers. there are more than 70 such publishers in columbia that were not widely known, but during the lockdown they made record sales. publisher it, gar blanco says it has to do with their flexibility in his as he can. okay. alice,

that ala, we're actually always struggling. lilian can, he says we have to always try to reach our readers in different ways. right? those that he got a liquid at the moment when the completely unexpected happened. i think the world wide pandemic and we were prepared on the alcohol thought that main thing is, but that made our work easier. and upon the mcgloid, it's through these publishers that readers have discovered the new voices of columbia and literature. but during locked down, customers weren't able to browse in bookstores. social networks became crucial for distribution. notice feliciano movie in it, that worked really well, but a much it saved many in control, not right. elizabeth can and they had direct contact to their readers. was by posting on instagram, facebook, and even twitter all narr, unless you direct the cause. that's how the books were sold just yes, it is a transaction of commerce, yet. bookstores were the well functioning online shop did brisk business

on their websites. customers communicate with each other, sharing recommendations as well as critiques, as yourself and interpret okeydoke annual matthew. now it was surprising, look among the bookstores in the country as a, as well as on a global scale that eternally because he no one expected it. alice bent us. they were not one of us. although our doors were closed, our sales went up. what am we good with the support of social networks that raises ulysses dahlia. all the books in this bookstore originate from this kind of publisher on offer are primarily political books about critical thinking and social movements. gabriella, para started reading when she was a child. her favorite book is gargoyle by andrew davidson for her books. arnold trinity to the internet. yeah, i'm on the races. i left them in there. i've noticed how addictive social media can be. and the tiny to distance myself from her. jessica, more than a reseller, meant that fuck a love afloat, but it really helps to have

a book in my hand to stop me reaching for my fine. go ahead and during that that i don't know. i know it's cliche, but it really does help push it better. see agile out and one of them. and that's why she needs new books all the time. she wants to buy more, if only to support independent publishers and that so from us at global 3000 dis, wait, do send us your feedback, global 3000 at d, w dot com and visit us on facebook to dw global ideas. see you next time. take care ah, with

who i. e go africa. a promise of new jobs and well, a new pipeline across uganda. but environmental is a warning us about the consequences. energy security versus nature conservation.

can this conflict ever be resolved in our lives? in did lag. ego africa is 30 minutes on d. w. as small children. their parents took them to the distance city for school. mm. they 1st see each other again, 10 years later when they returned home, i didn't know what my mom did, do i? i am very nervous. most anything and include them in my life. name paul, no land children in 75 minutes on d, w. hello guys. this is the 77 percent the platform for africa. you to debate issues and share ideas. you know, on this channel we are not afraid to pass and then he keeps talking. young people

clearly have the solution. the future belongs to the 77 percent. every weekend on d w, they are eternal, a dynamite and the pillar of sticks and society. a symbol of arbitrary rule. in the struggle for justice, taxes the right to levy taxes and the obligation to pay them. both inherent in the sovereignty of a nation status had 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 rule that broke the camel's back. i've been rambling forever, thinking to myself, when is it all going to come crashing down?

you pay won't pay taxation and politics starts october 21st on d w. ah ah, ah ah . this is dw news lie from berlin brush and rockets take. i have power supplies across ukraine. a strike in the capital keep hits a power plant and kills several people. ukrainians are told to save energy and prepare for a harsh winter. also coming up.
