with power. how a town on the outskirts of berlin is successfully mastering the energy transition after the flood. how the effects of climate change are causing to spare and pakistan. widespread destruction with many dead and injured hurricane. ian recently devastated areas in the u. s. state of florida in 2022. the consequences of climate change are being felt around the world with severe droughts and east africa. europe and parts of the us forest fires are getting worse. heat waves are affecting humans and animals alike. pakistan has been hit twice this year. in spring, a drought lasting several weeks brought temperatures of up to 50 degrees celsius.
11:32 pm
then extreme monsoon rains caused unprecedented floods. i hope is lost. there's nothing more the doctors can do it. elisa is dead. i father bashir ahmad world collapses. his 7 year old daughter is gone and lisa had been battling a fever for days she had malaria. the family had been trying to find a doctor and medication by the time they got to the hospital, it was already too late. today, her grieving father makes the painful journey home with his daughters body.
11:33 pm
so many in pakistan are suffering for this year. am on the pain is unbearable. oh, more than 1500 people died in the floods or have lost their lives to diseases in the aftermath. oh, i got a big bubble. my father died of a fever a week ago, and now my daughter, simply because there are no hospitals or doctors here and i only private ones that we can't afford because i just want to say that no one should have to go through this so that everyone should be able to get help when they're ill. danny. oh, it couldn't be any day. ah, but the harsh reality is that there's not enough help for the many who needed. the magnitude of the disaster is too huge. the monsoon brought much more than the long awaited rain. it's catastrophic flooding has impacted 33000000 people.
11:34 pm
many now only have a tent for shelter. the emergency cancer full. some foreign aid including food and medicine has arrived, but it's not enough. aid workers are doing what they can, but the task is overwhelming. not spinning us are funny. we're seeing infections on people's skin, their eyes and throat every day gets worse because there's not even basic health care and i'm going to the people endure it with great strength of it to your desk, but it's heartbreaking to see neil it were lacking in everything. was out of the people are living in unsanitary conditions. they're not getting enough food. they don't have clean drinking water. it's hardest on pregnant women, nursing mothers and small children, the fan in the wake of the floods, a wave of disease is sweeping across the country and in the world health organization has called it a 2nd disaster. but yeah, like i said, is it more and more people are coming and we can send anyone away or send them home
11:35 pm
because these people no longer have a home kid i am pacific at am the government needs to do something quickly. hold. villages have to be rebuilt and houses repair to nadia yet can lay the water that rush down the himalayas was incredibly powerful. this shopping street was turned into a raging river. livelihoods were wiped out. people were literally up to their necks in water. survival is now the only thing that matters. many were killed in the floods. others barely made it out at the last moment. essential crops like wheat were destroyed. many have gone to higher ground where there's nothing to do but wait. some have been here for weeks with little hope of returning home any time soon. they can no longer work and are dependent on aid for
11:36 pm
them. their house is gone, the cattle are dead. in the fields they once worked, are flooded. they were always poor, but the parents have always been able to feed their family. now they have to start over from scratch. cuba i'm, this is very hard from my wife and children. uh huh. it's bad here. we can't even wash that. there are no beds for us suddenly, so we sleep on the floor. i mean, but we were brought to this dry place by the grace of our prophet. otherwise, there were hardly any dry places left for us. neither gave me and let a vase, needy mosquitoes buzz to the air. there's no protection from them or the diseases they may carry. yes i and in the morning the family has one more worry.
11:37 pm
the eldest son has a fever. done general good deal. the juggler got him out a little attention to it. i'm scared that a male. suddenly he wasn't feeling well. a military doctor gave him an injection and said, we better let him sleep. the doctor's rather gum pakistan is suffering crises, wars, and increasingly climate change are creating hardship and misery for people like nicea, ahmad, to help them, it's not easy to see light at the end of the tunnel on an odd my, but hearty. her niece is trying to help him let others know he's doing well. his business is driving and his home town of le whore was spared from the floods. he sees it as his duty to help. he's organized food drives and takes care of the deliveries himself. oh huh, good russian big that if we just unloaded on the street gold and only a few families get everything and others will get nothing at all yet. so to be fair, they 1st give out vouchers to the poorest. who can then pick up the packages?
11:38 pm
amarion, we all feel the bird young. we have a lot of work ahead of us. yeah. yeah. become good, but we do this for our brothers and sisters in ne, not j. up up in, in looking at it said test for all of us together. yeah. me a, lima serv, society here, a lot of beula mean, and this is also an appeal to the rich among us about help in a time of need and guilty of. yeah. got it. the packages will keep these people going for a while. they carry them through the flood water back to the islands of higher ground where they've been holding on, and where they must continue to survive. russia's invasion of ukraine has made it clear to europeans how dependent they are on energy supplies from abroad. the latest shock came when several gas pipelines in the baltic sea were seriously damaged. many worried that there could be a blackout in the winter. despite rising costs and climate
11:39 pm
change, most energy worldwide is still mainly generated by fossil fuels. petroleum accounts for the largest share with one 3rd, followed by coal, and natural gas. but when it comes to electricity production, the share of renewable energy is on the rise. in 2021, it was a 28 percent solar and wind power mean more independence. and they could also supply the 840000000 people worldwide, who still have no electricity a small village in germany, south of the capital berlin is proving that a future without dependence on fossil fuel is possible. mm. right, i might, i'm normal men, fish, elisha's people in fel time, have fewer worries and the rest of germany at the moment, we have our own grid 50 and we make use of local resources. so we're not dependent
11:40 pm
on oil and gas from russia or the arab world hotel with hobbs. rebecca bowen. this is the 1st and only fully energy self sufficient village in germany, fed time around 70 kilometers south of berlin has done what many other places can only dream of. for more than a decade, it's produced all its own energy, heat, and electricity. here come from wind, sun and agricultural waste, and that's not all we've heard time obviously, as i'm the people who felt i'm banded together to operate their own electricity and heating grid and that's unique in germany. audition boards found that means they aren't reliant on fossil fuels. so spare time residents are paying around a 3rd as much for heat and electricity compared to the rest of germany. so how did fair time pull it off? what can other communities and cities in germany and around the world learn from their success? let's take a look. do in and michelle hoffman came up with the idea of producing renewable
11:41 pm
energy back in the 19 ninety's. they started scouting for locations long before wind power was popular ram now we were looking for a place inland with good wind conditions and we found that and felt hired hang of wooden initially fell times 130 residents were skeptical. they worried the turbines might be loud, unattractive, and harmful to local, wild life. but soon they were one over my quantum signs hold muscles each. we showed them what the project would look like and what it would cause. the toned in that created trusted with non, like we talked with each other a lot and managed to plan compromises with everyone involved. what was it? so for one of those involved erecting the wind turbines, further away from the village than required by law. and was even when you feel like you're part of the journey, even you're able to put in a veto and shape decisions. when you stop worrying so much that something's going to happen that you don't want to mock that, you know soon, the 1st full wind turbines went up,
11:42 pm
funded by the hush hammons. it was the start of the face time, energy miracle, the food to allow any of the 5th one that was built here was a turbine that was paid for by the citizens of fell time and other villages in the area. not knowledgeable, but hiding. quoting more than 2 decades on there are $55.00 turbines, the community still plays a role in decision making and investment, which has helped maintain support. yeah, try, don't go, we were the decision on how to finance the whole thing. also from an economic perspective lies with the residents that you need. so they really take responsibility into their own hands. and that means as a fell time residency, i really have 2 seats at the table. one is a customer, and one is an entrepreneur. yes. oh, we're done. yema. the wind pop produces enough powerful 55000 households way more than the village can use the surplus. 99 percent is sold and fed into germany's national grid. when did the woman full? when was imperfect, once, when people began to profit from these guns,
11:43 pm
shall we say a few notes in less than beautiful wind turbines. at thus, did the discussion around their more annoying aspects through and started to subside from mrs. it was a problem last no. fair time harnesses more than wind and nearby solar park meets the energy needs of roughly $604.00 person households and the village took it a step further. they wanted to produce their own heat to hello many residents were wondering back van, just like many people are to day, how to best heat their homes in winter and what the options are. so fair time built its own bio gas plant and an integrated thermal power station. it produces heat with farm waste, such as liquid manure, and made signage supplied by local farmers. that means 260000 few releases of
11:44 pm
costly heating oil each year and low is c o 2 emissions. the village also launched its own energy company and its own district heating network to distribute the heat generated by the bio gas plant that worked so well that they decided to create their own electricity grid and become completely autonomous. he was on idea what's special about fell time is that the residents have their own grid. they're basically buying electricity from the wind park and are actually using that in their houses right here. but it wasn't always easy for energy supply as self sufficient. consumers mean lower profits there occupies organ hottest, or the local utility company refused to provide access to the grid for the local power plant. they just didn't want it on the amazon. these is and they say this little village, no matter what they do, or we're not going to give in spanish. kirkland, kingsmill, the residence took matters into their own hands. each household invested 3000
11:45 pm
heroes into the new grid, while another 1700000 euros. and seed money came from the e u and the state of brandenburg the cups indicated that the school there was actually no discussion because most of us were willing to make this contribution. i did, i was just now everyone involved as an entrepreneur and is it heart of the decision making process in managing the grid and setting price? i is all at 1st one local utility company was reluctant to buy fed times excess electricity, citing safety concerns. that was until a storm caused a wide spread power outage and fed time was the only place where the lights were still on. the energy project also brought more jobs into the village, and new families moved in like the yellow toss will already reaping the rewards. linguists, those are the biggest difference we've noticed is that our electricity bill is now half of what it was. it's not
11:46 pm
just new residence, so thrilled by fair times. pioneering spirit, thousands of visitors from all around the world. also come every year to see how it all works or levant, though it might, we've been looking at this process and thinking about how we can reduce our dependence on other countries for power, heating and so on or not. or that we've been learning about how we can develop self sustainable energy and renewable energy policies in our communities and in our countries. louise and bush termini has different regions with different conditions . and it's the same for the groups who come visit us from abroad or open arms from africa, for instance, are especially interested in solar power, as well as self sufficient ways to bring electricity to small remote villages or in the league you one being 3rd time shows that making the switch to renewables doesn't happen over night, and that local authorities currently bureaucracy stand in the way. god knows, i think he just took a few my port. we were lucky that the politicians,
11:47 pm
in our case had brandenburg department of commerce said back then. okay, if you're proposing a solution, if you, if there's nothing that really allows it, but there's also nothing that forbids it was this week. so just try it and prove to us that it were placement. they gave us the green light and that's what made it all possible in o'clock or it and you've asked for being, it's about not standing in the way of people who want to achieve something. approval procedures could be digitized and made easier. it sometimes takes 4 to 10 years to get approval for a wind park. sometimes even longer in young, we won't have a rapid energy transition like that. i like nor will will be able to expand renewable energy production the way the government is currently hoping on. pieces i think you're working with one other, your j m true. it would be nice if the government didn't just announce the energy transition, but also thought it through properly and said, let's take a decent realized approach. kong would simply, you could have lots of little fell times powering, all of berlin in florida. is separate energy grid might not always be the answer. but cutting some of the bureaucratic hurdles could go
11:48 pm
a long way to helping communities reap the benefits of home grown green energy. according to the world health organization around 1000000000 people world widely with physical or mental disabilities, it's often hard for them to find their place in society to be accepted and to find work. but it is possible and it can be a positive and successful experience for all involved. 6 30 am. it's pretty early, but media and jordan is heading to work. the bus is already picked up around 30 people, some live together in residential units. others like medium live with their parents . she says school was never her thing, but the early shift that's no problem. there were some other going on because i prefer working mornings to afternoons. afternoons are bad. i put it in the morning
11:49 pm
. it's still nice and cool and after work you still have the whole afternoon free. that as in his liver. but not every one's in early bird. some are still half asleep. a few of some one to snuggle with or hold hands. the factory where they work is called laugh aga, catalonia, for beach grove, nestled in this nature, reserve are 16, hector's of factory buildings, vegetable gardens and pastures medium. jordan operates the packaging machine, her colleague folds boxes. everyone does jobs that suit their skill level. this is that you have to concentrate there are a lot of things that you have to keep your ion refilling the packaging sleeves. for example, everything has to be just right for our customers. you know,
11:50 pm
vivian did a 100000000 yogurts are manufactured here every year in catalonia and on the pl eric islands. the brand is a top seller laugher gaylor puts a premium on inclusion in its workforce while making sure its products are a success. and yes, some things are different here, like the affection so readily on display is women. if you feel really i think more factor a should be like alice, because it's a good way to work. when am i, we're all human. we all need a hug or some recognition, even if it's as simple as someone asking, how are you doing info on my side here the work is made to fit the people, not the other way around. that's why some workers can take an extra break, or one person does a job, while others watch and learn. listening is important to me, the am jordan has regular meetings where she can discuss how she's doing. and if
11:51 pm
there's anything she wants to change. oh, maria cologne is a psychologist. her father is the founder of love, how givea and she said it frustrated him that people in psychiatric care were rarely given anything meaningful to do my title. this at the law. danica say at work has to produce something that people find, use her, something that they'll buy into april, a dental legacy. that little boy doesn't matter if it's a product or a service. they look in it, but it should contribute something to society. but a little, you know, whatever their disability, everyone here knows their contribution is valued. a few years ago, laugh i gave a added jam to his product range. it's also been selling well. and that makes the people here proud is one thing is clear, ours is the best. we make it with a lot of love, and that's really important. whether jam or yogurt,
11:52 pm
the same thing always applies. people are more important than boosting productivity . when demand increased, plaza gain could have bought more machines to speed up production. instead, the company bought more pot and hired more workers. making things by hand does not cheap love i gave as yogurt costs 30 percent more than the competition. and yet it's the market leader in catalonia and the val eric islands maybe because the ron greedy and sir so fresh from cow to container. everything is on site. and it's been that way for decades, regional and sustainable, long before it was the trend. but as to who was making the overt most consumers had no idea get in watkins combine,
11:53 pm
forgot leave i people to buy our products because they're good. no, because they feel pity, una, ah, in cinema it's, we're competing against big multinational corporation nationalists. over the years, the company has had to reinvent itself a few times new products, more marketing, surviving and business isn't easy, but the most important thing has been to employee as many people as possible. medium doran says there's nowhere else. she would rather work. i'm wondering if i have a lot of fun here with my co workers, or do we get along? we trust one another. i have to work here until i retire. anything else really bad because i'd have to go somewhere else, all of your money. and then i had, you know, left foggy, that has been around for 40 years and no one here is really worried about the future. as they say, if people stop wanting yogurt, then they'll make to me to sauce. either way, they're confident the company will be here for at least another 40 years
