cars carry the effects of climate change, i mean, felt worldwide before a stake in the rain forest continued. carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people all over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact will they have? because change doesn't happen on its own. make up your own mind. w. the for mines. ah ah millions of visitors descend on the alps every winter, including a growing number of free riding fans who liked to go of peace in search of deep powder. the fun can quickly take

a dangerous turn. if the snow breaks loose from the slope and starts to hazel down hill, these austrian avalanche blasters risk their lives to ensure the slopes are safe. yoga resist, there's always a risk, but we try to reduce that risk as much as possible, getting the movie some would over there to minutes. let's go with an aide. see zach managers, the slopes of the kitchen on han mountain in salzburg. i in lawyer honey and his team start work at 6 30 in the morning. it's been snowing for the last few hours on the kitchen. han and there are strong winds. there's a high risk and avalanche could occur. so the team is going to trigger a blast,

he set off a series of controlled avalanches, shows the washer. see how looks where you from what the result. my guess is that on a day like this will be more to do at a high altitude because it's extremely cold today at the top, it'll be minus 18 minus 90 degrees. exciting a good day for some explosions. we've got real winter weather today. yesterday, according to the weather forecast, there's likely to be as much as 50 centimeters of fresh snow, about half of it has already fallen hooks. if i'm to 20 centimeters of cold powder snow is minus 13 degrees. now don't differ. every minute counts. the teen has 2 hours to make sure the glacial ski resorts, 60 kilometers of pieced are safe before the crowd start to arrive.

they work and pass. 25 year old crystal fine shop is the youngest and a new addition to the team. it's our animals and live years bank. we're packing the explosives. we're about to head out to trigger some avalanches. delusional detonators and explosives are always handled separately. well, i've been, i'll carry the explosives in my backpack and renee will carry the detonators. i will be going out together of a motion. one of the lemme commencement will differ. is likely to that. let me dash this bag has the detonators in it's not over here. once we're on site, we ignite them and get the fuse burning through. sure, it is obvious to me as long moments form and then we have 2 minutes until the dissonance the formula. so it's good going format. ah holbrook smith and i grew up in this will talk to what my father was a piece manager here and i've always been fascinated by it. all this out was to skiing the mountain, insert and avalanche blasting. my god, it's my dream job. and he's

a great on the roof. i had no way i can handle that. this is where things start to get dangerous. those be because it is the path goes along then with the snow groomer as before they put there before the past. turns off. don't go fur a little cases as it will make. tumble on march. all yes was calling i saw briefly so powdery penny and kristof have to be extremely careful. a slab of snow could break off at any time on the steep slopes and sweep them away . at the top of the piece, they placed the 2 and a half kilogram plastic explosive on a wooden frame. it's situated one and a half meters above the fresh snow covered to maximize the impact of the explosion . once the fuse is burning,

they have to evacuate as quickly as possible. i just, i guess nobody on the slides was there in about one and a half minutes. there will be an explosion with all of that is to she told me that there was no recovery. is we ship of her. that was it of the beast. the piece is clear at security. keep moving. ah, the controlled avalanche. they trick it has reduced the risk of a more serious one. the peace is now safe. meanwhile, ammonia and follows gung a heart at work further up the slopes. its former to me

as the truthful we're about to trigger an explosion on the central slope with that that's always high risk because it's pretty steep and it's where the kids always play. but to day that then snow flurries are making it difficult to see eric, but he lived that soon. and the glacier area you can only get your bearings by looking for the ski lifts. otherwise it's just a wall of white. it's snowing and it's windy. i had been but i can just about make out the ski lift station, so that tells me where i am doing and i caught him as you bit of at the indian. he gets off. i'll go prepare the explosives. duncan once detonated the slope is secured. jeff, this is one of the most critical slopes in the whole sky area. they have to play area for children below my name. lloyds fills mondays of the vin

meets when the wind blows over the rocks, either from the north where it's settled on this and the snow drifts can be dangerous on business. my primary objective is making sure the slopes are safe. alice of the disposition wufung has attached the explosive to a line that way he can precisely position the explosive on the slope and determine exactly where it will go off. no, ma'am, this allowed him, but the 1st explosive is in position kind of out in about one and a half minutes. it'll detonate the explosion can be felt 50 meters away. nice one of our goods. the explosion triggered a controlled avenues. the service team will clear away the masses of snow and then opened the slugs and the play area to the public. in austria alone, they were more than 100 avalanche accidents in 2021. 14 people were killed

and your back liar shall research is avalanches. at the department for natural hazards in innsbruck. today, his mas dubai valley investigating the destructive forces of avalanches at highmark, gotten on for him. pest failed. this is our test field. i saw this protective structure. here is the so called snow catch, and o catcher. with a power lunches coming this way will end up here. no units, fish fun. levina valve clocked out at home with her mom distorts. ponder light comes from up there, hurtled found home, have all the and hits the snow. catcher, embalming fitted the structure with several senses. that recall the impact of the avalon to shift alf tyson, maybe levina metabolic control yet. oh oh, this is the perfect testing ground for the reset. every year. huge masses of snow

tumble more than 700 meters down the mountainside directly into the safety net. i love you now, i've been famous up on one of our sensors was destroyed and i have a lunch. we've replaced it, and i want to test it today to make sure it provides accurate values. fisher selling the sal her, the correct about me for the snow catches to le prototype. numerous senses are installed along it's the ports and steel cables. when an avalanche hits the senses provide important data and insights into how people can best be protected without resides from death. give people my so we're in the test area and have 2 goals. albert, we want to see how the structure reacts to the avalanche and, and how the structure affect the see avalanche. i'm sure alfie levina by lena benevolent it's a wall, for example. and that wall holds out 27th stant helped, and the avalanche levied flows over the top of his with chris and beside it to

fight the 4 bad gets compacted to that problem yet. but what happens when an avalanche hits a flexible structure? alba, nit structure is knocked up so often it's looked on his stole to cameras to record the impact of each avalanche until then, but so if pascals can flow through it and how fast they fly and how they redirected . is that something we want to study here? from the so what if the snow cat, a pressure tie proves useful, it could soon be used to protect buildings and roads against avalanches. back on the kitchen, han, the weather remains. the challenge is your dream to read. so growth is a very strong wind. we're about to trigger an explosion to secure the north slope. it's always good news. it's on the damage on it. but if a job is half a meter of fresh snow on the avalanche pro north flight,

yada miss miss via when there's heavy snow it can get on really exhausting. ah, as he got mad, i imagine some people envy us bananas the joy, especially at 7 in the morning when the sun is shining the shed. you get to be the 1st on the slopes, which have just been freshly groomed. but there's been much, at least some people would probably pay a lot of money for that on this. and so that's one of the perks of the jobs. and what the about of course it also has its downside, really care that a cat like having to be out in the bad weather today. the head that the assigned to secure the ski areas and prevent avalanches to see jen i will be glad to show you that my partner gets nervous in the mornings. brooks in 10 o'clock, she'll be asking if i'm okay and if everything worked out, my parents are more relies with linda bonds of your parents. you definitely can't get stress when you're an avalanche blaster, but you do have to make quick getaways like literally we have to wait until edition aids. yoga resists, there's always

a rest of it, but we try to reduce that risk as much as possible. maybe some wouldn't bill so they would of all, don't look out for each other up and make sure that things run smoothly within the t off discounts. if one of the problems mangum already or only a top layer came off or japan, that worked more or less throughout, we shifted the snow by strong in every major ski resort in austria, avalanche blast as make sure it's safe from the slopes. this specially trained by experts in how to deploy explosives was that all nobody knew. thank god, we didn't have these masses of snow on the slopes today. and all it is, this is how much it snowed since yesterday. this isn't the toys hard at the bottom and as fresh snow on top. good on. this is the fracture line where it breaks off and i was always counting what is on our end, 400. if someone headed down the slope at exactly that angle,

that's where it would break off. it's no longer loose snow. it's more like a slab hollow came out as a short video shaped up flat like that one or a frequent course of avalanches. some of our classes are explosives, bunker well, when the social is this heavy anais and his colleagues trigger explosions every day on average, they need $1.00 to $2.00 tons of explosives per season. it's about $830.00. the 1st sky is and snowboard is arriving almost all the ski lifts and slopes on the kitchen. han are open. thanks to the avalanche blast is everywhere in the alps, blasting teams. ensure the mountain sides are safe. the

paths known valley into roll angle about glass shall regularly holds avalanche training courses with skiers. and snowboard is who like to go off piece time go ye knocked in the flesh depending on how extensive and stable the loose layer is. it might break along the fracture lines. lance, uncommon and unstable layer will collapse with his walks and the slab might start to move on to come to sponsor snippet. in pavilion coleman and the shortest i'll give the week layer is spread over wide area, may trigger the snow slab dimensions for the common churn and all have a nice evening and see you tomorrow. at 8459 i will need in the note while we want to avoid an avalanche emergency, you don't want to have to go looking for the buried societies. but if it does happen, we need to know exactly what to do. and that's what we're going to review tomorrow

. league focused on ian on can out. is that more? which question? oh, anyone crossing this to rein needs a sanctioning avalanche transceiver. ok. as that. okay. come on down. log some. looks a lot more relief slowly. now. yes, that's right, then pull it up. if i've got that flavor. good. next on my 3rd video go. so that is our l fire. this is an avalon strand survival. it has 2 functions. default on a transmitter function and a search function. adding this off right now, the search function is activated. if somebody says anything in the display, it means it's receiving a signal from somewhere i'm signal and thanked. nod, severe, not closer, but grace, it's toby, classic hot bully. i've checked that the groups. evelyn's transceivers are working, i'm at my devices receiving properly. m o get 10. what i've made sure that every one has the device turned on it. so we've taken the necessary safety precautions

and we can set off from it. this is if i don't. buchanan buttons, kellen, again with meanwhile at the top of the kitch stein, han, honey and kristof are making their way to one of the most dangerous parts of the mountain. the slope to the right of the tracks is a steep one. if they were too full, they'd be unlikely to survive. handling the explosives in the snow, flurries and temperatures of minus 20 degrees requires utmost concentration. ah, it's so slow. it's over 2 minutes. so let's go keep moving. the

dish of is let shifted. things are busy. so as i entered vicky the stones look wild us with redone lids, head down to the of the slope is now safe, at least for the time being if it keeps snowing and i might have to close the piece below. the other team is still busy. this is, it's on the water, the north slow, so that's where we'll trigger the next block runs kiana. i might get block despite the risk of avalanches, the slope is popular among free right is much to the frustration of the teen. some snow sports enthusiasts are reckless and the avalanche blast is risk their lives, making sure the terrain is safe for them.

oh, in these conditions it's hard to tell if the artificial avalanche was effective in my law for this august of it. over the course of the day, the wind can scatter the snow. so even if we've triggered an explosion, the snow can pile up a gas. was washed indic orfa, so you have to keep doing control runs. gosh, and keep an eye on the situation. if you look at that area, so that we're done here, will head now to the kids lips station. it's off because at the evidence training course, it's time for the most important lesson. locating a person buried under sna mcconick to our legged aid, we can turn off our devices now. why we just need one device switched on gateway and stick it in a backpack and bury it up there somewhere. go. ah, that that contains an active avalanche, chauncey that the sign, it's the name form. well, the location where the person who was buried was last seen the self. i ask you to

take out your avalon transceiver and start searching with the saw him. he had 143012 but no 1000 down came back. but when the, when the display is below yet re you're nearly their london fluke. cy, common will answer at 2.0182.316 times com. i'm 1 point one common 1.0. i flint, hey one thought and these, and this is where i measure the lowest value 1.0 minority next anger backlash. our search is the area with the prob, someone. his buried in an avalanche needs to be rescued within about 15 minutes after that their chances of survival drop rapidly market smith. in my life combined ether stelis point, someone tends to ask, but more of a job, the person's eye. it is al, just a matter of life and death. take on salgado furniture. you can be worried about

mine, a stab wounds as a dog. so don't be too gentle to meet me. find the spartan and push. i'm stationed on an films hunt fact films on fact. so don't make sense to form the sounding. now i'm noticing that the price isn't going in quite as far as some resistance, and it means remove your hands. ok prob stays in place and decent plots for the 1st time. you now have clinical contact with the person who's buried. allison contact some for certain time is running out every minute. can't miss the fact that the sign itself and cope. this is the head, best best case scenario is on he's responsive economy. he can talk on this as to melissa. so now i can call the mountain rescue services and give the all clear on

and talk on past days. ok. this concept was me. it's mark what we've just done is absolutely possible when somebody's been buried under as much as one and a half meters of snow up to 15 minutes, said silva. only if you know exactly what you have to do is i'd soon escape the euroleague most was. are there any questions? gift that's because now it's your turn, but yet that's here on the devastation. avalanches can wreak, wasn't full display on february 23rd. 1999 in the small town of got to into roll. the gross strode over la greatest destruction was about where the highest point of this wallace phone cut off on the somalis. back until march, there was maoris. gotcha! at the time how mon hoopa was a member of the local council rehab, feeling, i did it in an uncle to it of all he like many locals,

i was in crisis mode hotels and had really drove home. what it means to bear responsibility of highest vital to stagnant devices of guns. can i remember it? very well. shy, disinclined. i was at my desk at fisher. i am the avalanche hit while i was working together in doors for the snow. settled on the windows of all the houses in the village, wattsey, so it went dark, the kitty and everyone realized that had been an avalanche of don't live on. we'll die, miss thompson. when this done give was yet the emergency services went out immediately . isis could i have to see if we were able to start the search operation. 10 minutes after the avalanche head of it's amy, not not levine, it i guess on meters, who hines that's beginning, help them in better the most. at that if i spoke to the mayor on the phone and an hour later, we knew many people were missing. he delighted up, we were mid search up that i sad news began filtering in don't answer nath rowdy, but i mustn't forget that a lot of people were also rescued as at theda lights out latent give world a total of $38.00 people died in one of the worst avalanche disasters in the elf's

in recent history. numerous houses were also destroyed. the massive avalanche hurtled 1000 meters down. the mountain side did steadily that levy, nevada. they saw the avalanche caused such devastation because nobody expected one to occur on such a massive scale. and i like if i knew the lands and recalculations were made for high risk areas, not justin got tied up in godson. i'd love to rethink everywhere on the alps. region as monday, so hm. night but i couldn't so it. mm. and gotcha. these protective wools were built that same year a year later, the steel snow bridges were erected on the mountain. these were bus protective fences found throughout the elves prevent large accumulations of snow known as cornices, from breaking off mountain ridges. piece safety in austria. ski results came under

increasing scrutiny in the wake of the guy to his asta. more and more fully automatic blasting moths are being installed on high risk slopes. up to 12 explosive charges fit into the magazines. they triggered by the push of a button and explode a few meters above the snow pack. on the kit steinhoff, one of the blasting moth has been malfunctioning with. i've gone needs to find out

what's gone wrong with it is a lot of people that are in the magazines. are computer controlled? no of mine's other activated in response to pressure governmental involve, click thumbnail. open this up to check if everything's okay in there. if it isn't working okay. some of the courts might have gotten tangled up, or something might be jammed for steering this new fuel for harder, britain was proclaimed, thought that, okay, these are the containers on the chart. take a quick look though it's last. okay . yeah, it's okay. i'm on the mass can be used to morrow in the van mall. everything's all right now. let's go to morrisville cast shows more heavy snow on the kitchen time

han back to the avalanche training course. it's now the participants tend to practice locating an avalanche victim. will they find the backpack with the avalanche chance either gather i am ready. what is that? what's the value on the display? like um, a 2.7 bitch don't. if i you closer. i'm close starting here. right? i mean that should i go forward on the other? i can help you on police just above the ground. i think a bit further through, pointless. yeah. you're closer woocommerce. yeah, 0.4, woocommerce 0.70.5 here was 0.4. the lowest value, okay. good. so no, my probes in my backpack is things we need you back at all times. like this.

it stick lead, hold. the last section of the thought together. probe is a bit like a toothpick, as i don't know if you going deep. the pro can bend in all directions already. don't a child thought ask what's my play? i love if i grace was both hands. good. yeah. oh, here it is. okay, so now i start digging right, but i was hoping that, yeah, as soon as school takes a lot of practice, this time of, i'm going to practice again at home to make sure i've really gone. it was ended on you have to bear in mind, you might be panicking after an avalanche missile focused. you need to have it down pat. otherwise you just forget it. even if it looks easy, it's what you need to follow each of the steps lead. i'm not used to practicing ones isn't enough. if you need to be able to do it in your sleep, i was taught in an emergency the person buried in the avalon who doesn't have much

time before they die. the long he take, the less likely they are to survive. pow, he get a quote. so even an extreme situations, you need to act fast. oh, you can't hesitate to one. i'm with jesus isn't a problem with her father will from that this time with a happy outcome. yeah, thank on the get started one, there is no a level 3 avalanche morning. only half of the slabs are open, but thanks to him a on his team, it's safe. even if to day there are only about $300.00 guests out and about. rather than the usual 10000 eyes on folks who proposed. it's the rate that visitors kamisky with peace of mind. things to ask if you can, knowing they're happy is what motivates me, is what is nothing better or sweetness. and for me personally, dakshina sitting in an office all day would be an absolute nightmare for

ah, a secret war that began over 40 years ago has been waging relentlessly even until today. the war between iran on one side and on the other israel in the united states. we explore the roots of this conflict. in the 1st part of our documentary, the long israel usa in 15 minutes on d, w. in india 11, the transition to green energy a world without lithium ion battery. i'm actionable. but good

concepts for recycling and reusing hard locking to indian start up and their ideas for used energy storage equal in 90 minutes on w ah ah, this is d w. news live from berlin. russia says dozens of it. soldiers, i killed in a ukrainian strike. the criminal confirmed the attack on a barracks in russian occupied east in ukraine. cave says the death toll is likely much higher also coming up low.
