in a city in thailand and nuclear power stations, climate, saviors, or dangerous relics. zapata asia in war torn ukraine is the location of europe's largest nuclear facility. since the russian invasion, it is repeatedly come under attack officials and moscow and ki, have blame each other according to the international atomic energy agency. the situation is serious. if the sheylan continues, it could result in a nuclear disaster with effects that would reach far beyond ukraine. radiation knows no borders. there are currently 409 active nuclear reactors in operation worldwide. the usa has the largest number of them, followed by france, china, russia, south korea, and india. on average, they've been in operation for around 31 years. in the past year nuclear power i

counted for just under 10 percent of world wide energy production. many countries are continuing to rely on nuclear power and even want to expand its use. their motivation is climate change in the threat of an impending blackout. a terrifying threat to the planet. but for others, a risk worth taking nuclear power is divisive. china and india have been ramping up their capacities to get electricity to hundreds of millions, more people without raising emissions. other countries from germany to japan has been switching of plants because they're worried about safety. do we need nuclear energy to stop climate change? and should we risk it? we've probably all heard of the infamous cannibal disaster in 1986. a reactor went out of control and blew up after overheated uranium melted through protective barriers. the disaster channel was the worst in the history of nuclear power

generation. let's fast forward 25 years in 2011 an earthquake and soon ami struck the coast of japan, killing more than 19000 people and sending 3 nuclear reactive at the fukushima plant in to meltdown with disasters like these. it's no surprise people find nuclear power apocalyptic, but take a look at the numbers and that fear doesn't hold up compared to renewable sources of energy. nuclear has killed more people for each terror. what hour of electricity than it's generated? but let's put that in the context of fossil fuels. the death rates from burning gas, oil, and coal make nuclear seem almost as safe as solar a wind. that's because burning fossil fuels release is toxic particles that damage our lungs and haunts the appalachian they cause kills and estimated 8000000 people a year. comparing nuclear and coal is like comparing planes and cars. while we

obsess about plane crashes, far more people die on the road than in the air for every kilometer they travel. but plane crashes make the headlines. and so they seem even scarier, same goes for nuclear disasters. if you compare the clarion, the students, all they, all in industries certainly are fuzzy foods. ah, the number of them at that it is, is the minimum. but so far there have been few nuclear designs to in history. and you catastrophe could change the entire discourse beyond that radioactive waste could claim many lives in the future. more about that later. the fact that nuclear energy is safer than fossil fuels is one reason why some people at changing their minds about nuclear power. the big one is that in terms of climate change, nuclear is clean it c, o 2 emissions are about as low as solar and wind over its lifetime. and it also

provides a pretty constant supply of electricity as countries kick fossil fuels out of the energy grids. nuclear could provide a steady base load for when the sun isn't shining and the winds not blowing. 10 years ago i changed her mind by nuclear energy. i realized that we needed nuclear energy to solid climate change. but does quitting nuclear mean burning more fossil fuels? let's look at germany. it's been shutting down nuclear plants for decades. if you're guns office, i want to say completely openly here as a supporter of the peaceful use of nuclear energy. my view on nuclear energy has changed since the events of japan. shortly after the fukushima disaster, german chancellor angle america announced a nuclear phase out. a decision that may have proved costly. a study in 2019 estimated that quitting nuclear float japanese coal exit so much that it led to 1100 more depth than expected from breathing dirty air. yes,

the annual social cost is $12000000000.00 but that's only half the story. germany's electricity emissions actually later fell as renewables push coal out of the mix. in energy experts say the massive expansion of renewables was only politically possible because the government agreed to quit nuclear. you can argue with both ways probably would have been able to reduce the clinician weaker differently, but a also not only in germany, but this is maria geneva, an expert on nuclear power. she says renewable energy isn't cheaper than building new nuclear plants. it's not the same as keeping existing nuclear plants online for longer building new nuclear capacities added the group. now very friendly with prolonging now. but as a catchy, old react is more dangerous and need to be retrofitted to stay safe. and what about

the nuclear waste? spent fuel rods stay radioactive, the 10s of thousands of years, and it's not only the roads, all the concrete and metal exposed to radiation can't just be thrown away. decommissioning a nuclear plant can take decades. the problem is, even after 70 years of nuclear power generation, nobody has found a proven way to get rid of the waste for good. my name is omar with europe. this is have a company boat in 2018 trying to stop a nuclear plant. he phase could end up dumping radioactive waste into the ocean. nuclear waste is something even nuclear advocate. so sometimes unsure about is toxic radioactive and in the wrong hands could even be used, have radioactive, or dirty bombs. all things hooked together in high reactive waste needs to be kept out of your farm for coffee. okay. now that is really big. a real big chunk.

the industries solutions for nuclear waste to bury it. deep, underground, isolating the waste inside rocko clay to stop radiation reaching the surface. finland is set to open the wells. fuss, deep geological storage facility in 2023 to permanently deal with its nuclear waste . we think that deeper in the finished bedrock, 450 meters deep in a kind of concrete, ah, parcher petrocca is the safest place to put them down there. uh huh. it's always better. they're not in temporary storage is on the ground level. this is patsy. to a he, mom from pa cba, the company that designed the facility. but if the site perceive is building a okay, latoya in west and finland is the only one in the world. and it hasn't even been built yet. can we really trust that technology will work for ever? while of course, if it hasn't been started, there hasn't been a prototype, but it has been tested even in okay,

a lot that we have been doing 30 years of research. and it's all kind of possible uh, leaks and things that might happen. they are considered that might not convince environmentalists worried about contamination and even potential terror attacks in the distant future. but even they agree, the idea needs were such the world already has half a century's worth of nuclear waste to deal with. so what does this all mean for us to we really need nuclear power to stop climate change? well, it can clearly help. nuclear is as safe as renewable energy in terms of lives lost and could balance out a clean energy mix. but we still can't be sure the waste won't come back to hurt us in the future. ah, animals and not just pets, are part of daily life in cities disappearing. habitat in the search for food have

drawn them closer to humans with the noise of the city doesn't bother them and the conditions can be perfect for them to thrive. ah, but when animal populations explode, it can lead to conflicts between man and beast. ah, that's what's happening in a city in thailand. ah, monkeys, everywhere. how many needle can i come inside and still stuff from michelle separately while they're devour everything they can find me more on here in the town, there's no natural food source for them. maybe there's no fruit growing anywhere. you guys are going to be a good woman with the monkeys have become a scourge. many of them are actually sick hauling the lamb. similar problems to humans and diabetes, high blood pressure,

obesity. one the evening rush hour in luxury is a perfect opportunity for these long tailed mc cox. any one who hasn't stashed their groceries away doesn't stand a chance. the monkeys on nimble and completely brazen not to mention very hungry hunger has made them unafraid of crowds and traffic. the mac cox collect around the towns ancient temple complex, and are traditionally seen as sacred. that's why there are reservations about reducing their numbers. plus, they've always been a tourist magnet. the visitors are like to feed them, bring the town a lot of money. but since the pandemic tourists are staying away, videos posted on social media, show what's happening and look, bori as a result. hordes of monkeys rampaging through the streets,

fighting full scraps of food and defending their patches, residence or feeling increasingly terrorized by the gangs of marauding because small business owners in particular are suffering language to we sacks. these are one runs of paint and varnish shop. it's been ransacked by monkeys more than once. these days is taken to keeping stuffed toy tiger heads in the store to frighten them off, or more at home home on his back out here. otherwise, the monkeys steal from the store and cause havoc, awe, happy with them. so putting out the tiger heads helps at least a bit o. some of the monkeys realized they are real about, they still scare some of them away. the store next door has the same problem, patty, pon and suited 20 wrong cell comp. hans,

the business has been in the family for generations. the couple actually like animals and even feeds the monkeys now and then. but still they say they've become a plague and are a growing problem. how many lidocaine? yeah, locally. and they come inside and steal stuff from the shelves. the older ones, listen to me when i tell them off. and i like them, monterey park, but the young ones are cheeky jolla. yeah, i don't like them or like newman, i shoe them away or that i lay quietly in yet. and she's even installed a grid to keep them out. the trouble is most people in la bery who feed the monkeys do so out of kindness, but it doesn't do them. any good locals often give them cartons of juice and all sorts of other sugary snacks.

the monkeys snatch it all up. but none of it is filling, and it makes them hyperactive. manners we looked upon works in animal welfare and is one of the few people in law bery who understands how they died is affecting the monkeys behavior. his organization raises money to buy them fresh fruit such as melons instead. may murray them with their b, b, polo marin, the town there's no natural food source for them because there's no fruit growing anywhere along the oklahoma st. hemmed on people for their food and what the soon as they see a human, they expect to find food. and that's why their behavior is changed. no one knows the exact size of them a car population in the town. according to some estimates, there are 6000 of them, while others suggest the number is closer 220000. this is where many of

them live and abandon cinema in the middle of love, bery minus we looked upon shows as what the building used to look like outside the monkeys are busy jumping on corn cops. this vendor didn't manage to sell everything . so he let them have the left of his a die well, or i feel sorry for them. they have nothing in their part of the town garden repeating with many here agree with him. but clearly this is no life for them. even if it is the only life they've ever known, this could be one solution to the problem. an enclosure on the outskirts of town, it would be a refuge for them, a cox, and they'd be properly fed. but unfortunately, there are delays in its construction,

and the plan is proving expensive. neighbors are also protesting. they don't want monkeys living on their doorstep. veterinarian lo, townsend. i'm was born in lori and also sees the monkeys as a piece of local tradition. but for years, she's been seeing a decline in their health and an increase in accidents, but once i bought nat, hi, my lank, i how many are obese? mother how high and therefore, unless you nimble, when they crossed the street jacquelina back, like hasty about being wanted in general, they have, i don't have the same problems as human had little. and at cooper night in they have very high cholesterol levels in their blood. and that's because of what they're eating go to day, she looks up to monkeys that have been injured, but she also regularly sterilized as them, as per the authorities. instructions now not the plan is to reduce their numbers

that way, but it's an uphill battle and i go hi, sorry man, no, my land thinking loud has a morales out my come, we need a sterilization quota of 75 percent reliable. otherwise, their numbers will keep rising back maybe can die. we've managed just 15 percent. so there's a long way to go. and it's a problem in other towns and thailand to me, not just here. i lie, don't want anybody tied him and even have that need him. what this le cox life has been saved, but there is no sustainable long term plan to look off to the monkeys of love, worry on the animal welfare workers believe they deserve better. the corona virus caused massive damage world wide to people's health, the economy and society as a whole. according to the world health organization, w. h o. during the 1st year of the pandemic,

the number of people struggling with psychological problems, like anxiety and depression, increased by 25 percent. but there are creative projects underway to help fight the mental health crisis. to red rick shanty homes right stiffly on the hills of rhetoric in the east of caracas. home to jimmy perez, katara is one of the largest slums in the world. the flat roof tops here, i called flat, abandons these open spaces, gained new significance during the cove at 19 pandemic, l. c. d o day and federal. it's a place on the roof of a house made with construction materials and up latanya pitts in depopulated areas to plot on there is a socialist pace where people celebrate birthdays. 15 years, birthdays, honeywell activities. they take place here on carmel out to sell up their plot upon

the holes people's memories gars after families mold. trish were feeling gnawed, ella from media library combat theater. the roof tops became the base for the project. sydney plotted bonder launched in the 1st months of the pandemic. it used outdoor cinema to relieve residence, confined to their homes. the events of continued beyond the quarantine locked downs and expanded to include life music. more than $200.00 screenings have now been held with several sheffield each month. the project was a reaction to the increased level of violence and suicide experienced during the pandemic. the projects co organizer, and jimmy's twin brother, jaime, explains the program. i seen in fatty ice. there are children fields and documentary phones, one important field which deals with the fight against depression la, they put us your own appalachian cohen. okay. coming be this is for a population that is leading through trauma. i'm going through the process of

morning and sat nice. did he stay also this car, this week, left by been a swell and social situation either because you know, all of that was projected into our plaque amanda cinema screen. was she what? welcome by the community? i generated i warner media there is saw look a was the level of, well this was feed use as the film ends, residents flash their lights to applaud, and not only for the entertainment, they are grateful for the connections, the rooftop events have created the what a game blah, you rainbow therapy, them, you got some sometimes there may be events which i can't see from my house. oh yeah . yeah. from what we speak with our neighbors who are watching, i believe. and we moved to their house and sit together you by phone because they had a big balcony with a good view and we wanted a home by the mama we already knew each other effective. but now we share more a theme on, but this rooftop project allows us to share more, have more contact

a c a. and now we're more integrated. my company, our com, again, these were the pandemic intensified the social problems which plagues for totter gangs used the lockdown to step up criminal activity. hey tara, no one is venezuela's most dangerous place became even more insecure through sidney platter. bonder the community reclaimed public space. the organizers say their initiative showed petard, his residence, how to take action, where public services fail. jo are speedo on k, i a surprise to see violence reduce your empathetic yet only come on is the only way home. one also is there, and people like those are who take care of the portland topics is more fancy, necessary topics than then we will be in upper tattered without home and without future dante and nor to yamaha finance, and on not to get a muffle doodle. loppy no more than welcome we aspire to half

a more humane community with a barrier the gauge shown with a barrier between your to help us where people feel use golden on the line in e. and we are showing when dark a we thou government here without being bar of a structure and we have demonstrated great achievement, a significant import than a shift them for the people know what he for the community, for children or for them. for kate, take care of school and for parents senior, but i don't represent that depending upon the sinner platter band, a team drive their equipment to one of the poorest parts of the giant settlement where they're excited audience awaits this screening is for the children who hardly get to visit a real cinema donors have signed up to provide food for kids who frequently go hungry, which are fired. okay, sick out of many parents or without work, they can't take care of their family. also emilia, there are children who go to bed without eating or mayor for long age will come the

good. when i started coming here, they told me glenda. i've got 2 days without eating those 2 days without food. think or man, it's something he has experienced enough well and, and they give us a lot of and now we're bigger and stronger them over than the fluidity this cinema project is shining, a light on how a community can come together, even in the darkest moments. ah power global living room this week isn't italy with a camera like my name is bud. sweet. sierra. i come from co my year in the all star
