zealand and trouble in paradise. investors and honduras plan a private city in the central american country, almost 70 percent of people live in poverty. outbreaks of violence, gang wars and kidnappings. are one of the mill. the murder rate in honduras is one of the world highest. now the wealthy can shield themselves from these social problems by building their own private paradise. the idyllic caribbean island of rotan. i am to palm fringe beaches announcing an experiment. just off this dusty road. at the entrance upon a reeds we believe in private property, a char, to city for him by invest, as is being built, his auspiciously cold prosper. this will be the islands,

tallest building says eric pits a carless. normally, a building on rather time can have a maximum of 8 floors. this will have 14, yes, we offices will have a view of the ocean. different rules apply because the city is self governed pits. a carless property developer thinks this is great. it makes it easier to work fast, affordably and efficiently. and another common threat on gardenia prosper promises all sorts of opportunities for honduran business people. it's a safe place where we can live, where progress has possibly broken his head of b realty either federal. yup. so honduras struggles with crime poverty and corruption, but not prosper. the honduran flag flies, but the city state runs autonomously from the national government. it's called as that e d. e a. so for employment and economic development and investors, utopia with low taxes and govern, not by politicians, but by a board of business, people who aren't democratically elected. critics challenge the cities legitimacy,

but it's lawyers, site agreements made with a previous government is to see us in the louis followed that it would still do any carlos is brought born what the government gave us permission to administrative territory. barella says, the more can also cuz we are at liberty to create our own laws in our own interests, yon jesse m yarelly but are their interests also other people's obama integrity caliber. fernando garcia is combing through thousands of pages of legal documents so posted to your uncle. the current government has touched him with putting an end to the prosper project, a congress lore approved in 2013, paved the way for prosper. garcia argues it was unconstitutional. significance lakresha and doing it amounts to the creation of a state within a state and they want toward law autonomy. ready their own jurisdiction, their own executive, you will educational and health system because she their own police and urban

planning system bundle for now, this little to see just a few employees in the kitchens and on construction sites, the homes are still empty. but the prosper, the project has already begun approving residence, including tech workers, entrepreneurs, investors and banks, attracting them with low taxes, flexible regulations, and bitcoin of legal tender. it's c e o is eric bryan, a, u f, f and wayne. and in a rare interview, he denied being a radical libertarian, is that the prospect is not a tax haven. our mission is to create prosperity where it is needed most is not about making switzerland richer or germany richer. so the spillover effects are not limited by, by, by the prost presented jurisdiction. it is spilled over into the rest of the economy. prime and leave the project as a promise of success of job creation and yielding profit that he claims will

benefit everyone. and yes, expansion is possible. freidman says other areas in honduras could join the project . but in the nearby village of crawfish, rock, people are worried. council leader, louisa conner says local fear they'll be squeezed out. i can sit by the city will grow like a chima. i'm afraid of being expropriated. this is the neighboring village will be the 1st all there is what we have a local keep look at the corner. doesn't believe the project will create jobs instead, just employing cheat labor and what critics call crypto colonialism. but brian and rejects the criticisms that need to go back perceptions of fears, many of them legitimate fears, perhaps of historical sense. but there is a disconnect between the fears and the perception and the reality of prosperous.
8:36 pm
but critics say honduras is being sold off outside congress activists urged parliament to put the brakes on the prosper project. the government might still repeal the controversial nor passed in 2013 that allowed the city to go ahead. christopher castillo says prosper is exploiting social and economic problems in honduras, lad, annex young anything but so prosperous could only harkell because we were in an economic crisis. a country in good shape would never approve such a project. so let me go look when it would be got been that was over the meal. yes . layla. fernando garcia knows better the most just how non transparent prosper is in its dealings. he thinks radical libertarians are deliberately undermining democracy in honduras. oh, go via law. it was a government, a party that allowed it to happen that men and caved into the interests of radical liberal groupings. alanna, his, he the who needed a blueprint for their model of

a private charter saddle. they will not show up beulah, but prosperous found his remain undeterred. they insist everything has been done by the book and people have nothing to fear. from politics is a legitimate way to change course and direction. but part of the system must be to honor contracts and agreements or were legitimately entered into the legal team that the government could face damages if it were neg on agreements. the 1st residents will seemed in moving in including start up founder nicholas and thing from germany. got this mark was as that in foot. i think the advantage of markets is that they're more open to change. that makes it easier to bring about change of again, i was in general, i believe the democratic decisions have their place under an important mechanism which the, in preventing the dictatorships does to that kind of the car. trouble could entrepreneurs be fair leaders or does that undermine democracy?
8:38 pm
the crypto, libertarian city experiment in honduras might provide answers in world wide people keep more than 35000000000 chickens ducks and geese 2700000000 cows and pigs. and 2400000000 sheep and goats. ready the appetite for made is growing. global consumption has more than quadrupled since the early 19 sixties at the cost of the environment in animal farming and feed production require lots of land, which leads to the destruction of natural habitats like tropical rain forests. keeping livestock uses up lots of water and contaminates it dro, manure and pesticides. plus there's the emission of greenhouse gases like c o 2 or methane, mainly from cows and sheep. but is there a way to make animals more eco friendly?
8:39 pm
in new zealand, scientists are trying to do just that. these sheep are belching and breaking wind in the name of science. today, they have to spend an hour in the test chambers at the nv cargo research farm. the idea is to find out which animals are the biggest stinkers and which have comparatively fresh breath. around 90 percent of methane gas and grazing animals actually comes from their mouth, not from their behinds. explain. scientists is an rome. so i'm taking a sample of her breath in a volume of her, and i'm using that to gauge how much meet them. she made her units of her compared to all of her contemporaries. and i can use that to rank animals individual because some animals ultimate, that he suddenly differently, and they give us a lot more than others. so what we're looking for those low, low misses the low methane to mrs. elaine selected for breeding. the scientist has been on this think he mission for the past 11 years,
8:40 pm
3 generations on her herd now excels 13 percent me st. gas than at the start of the experiment. meeting, we can make a difference. we can make a difference quickly if we lower the amount of me thing in the environment. we can very quickly have an impact was if we lower the amount of cod my on selling the environment. we're having a massive impact in the long term. the short term impact what we won't see as much, so it's a rude opportunity for, for the livestock industry to make a real good about an hour away from the research firm. we meet leon black, a 4th generation sheet fire fire. but he is one of the 1st to put a scientist theory into practice. he breeds she was better prey it was important for him to cut their methane emissions, but also to maintain high yields of need. and wool
8:41 pm
the heart was always that a few head are more efficient ruminant, more he could that put that energy and things like hair mo, more. whoa more may, i'm and that looks to be the case. so we're selecting animals that utilize freed better. don't put out miss i am and hit more into dr. hey. it's kind of like the win win win win. situations like this are urgently needed in the land of sheep zealand. what is determined to become climate neutral by 2050 your color? that is why the government is investing millions and new technologies for agriculture, such as here on the palmerston north campus. near wedlock has been working for 15 years on another promising project, a vaccine to curb methane gas emissions in ruminants. so heavy working for quite some, some time, but we are making good progress. we've sony's showing that you can vaccinate animals and they can produce antibodies against them. a furniture from the saliva
8:42 pm
or we've done some stays, a show. they produce enough antibodies to theoretically coat all an instance in the room. that ex prime minister jacinta on. i didn't want to wait for the new anti burp injection and took on farmers over the issue of climate targets for her ruling labor party wants me then emissions from cows and sheep to full buy up to 47 percent by 2015. that's why farm is may pay an emission tags from 2025 a world 1st. the proposal as it stands means you feel ins, farm as a seat to be the 1st in the world to reduce agricultural emissions, positioning, our biggest export market for the competitive advantage that brings in a world increasingly to sunni about the provenance of the firm. but not everyone is happy about the government plan. many farmers are worried about the extra
8:43 pm
costs and the end of agriculture, new zealand, most important, expert industry, back on the farm with leon black. and he says the tax is unfair because even with his clean, low emission sheep, he would still have to pay mom. many farmers would then be forced to reduce the size of their herds. even though new zealand sheep farm is already among the most environmentally friendly in the world, i believe is more gainfully my but with lemme thought i know. i think it's really unrealistic for a government to say 40 or 50 percent. it's just magic very, very disappointed. i like sanchez not drink new the smell tests are over for another day at the research farm. scientists suzanne road can understand farmers concerns. but you also see the potential in their super
8:44 pm
sheep. new zealand could become a global pioneer and sheep reading. we don't really know how far we can go. we can, we know the in the, in, in these flux we're going very quickly. but if we apply that sound to our normal breathing clock them, we're seeing a sort of 2 to 3 percent drop per year. so we're seeing a considerable difference and, but already works for new zealand. she will now be tested on other types of grazing animals. making talbert climate friendly is the best way of causing them me same emissions to we're working for a better climate, to wind turbines and solar panels. hydro power and bio gas plants, clean energy a conserves precious resources. the international energy agency says renewables now
8:45 pm
make up 29 percent of global energy production, and soon they'll be the most important energy sources worldwide. one of them is biomass. that's compost manure a would. but is energy from organic waste? really green banana peels. not shells and other left over foods can actually powered the device. you're watching this on. it's called bio mass energy and left overs aren't the only source would plants even manure can be used to generate electricity or heat. were surrounded by bio mass which creates numerous opportunities. and unlike coal, this source of power can be re grown companies and governments around the world are ramping up investments. but at the moment,
8:46 pm
only around 4 percent of agricultural space is used for bio mass energy crops. how much potential does bio mass energy offer? let's start with how our trash becomes treasure. organic material 1st has to be converted into energy left over food, crop waste or mature. it's collected from restaurants or homes, and then put into a processing plant to sort out other materials like plastic. the next step, the bio reactor, it's, we're back tyria, eat up the waste in a so called di jester, which is sealed off from oxygen. this process is called anaerobic digestion. the organic waste is fermented over several weeks at a temperature of about $55.00 degrees celsius. bio gas is produced, containing large quantities of methane,
8:47 pm
a powerful source for generating electricity and heat, once it's been fed into the gas grid. and it can also be used to power natural gas vehicles. the left over bio mass can then be used as composed for farming, for example, making the whole process circular, bio gas plants like this, exist all over the world. about 20000 in europe alone. estimate say bio methane, could cover up to 40 percent of the use gas demand by the middle of the century. the u. s. has just $2200.00 and thailand, malaysia, and indonesia combined only have about the same bio gas plants produce only a quarter of the c o. 2 emissions that cold plants emit bio mass. energy has one mortgage advantage over solar. and when in that it's on demand. so you don't care if the winds blowing, sun shining, all sounds good so far,
8:48 pm
but there is a catch bio methane can leak from these facilities and then has a bigger effect on global warming than c o. 2 bio gas facilities are also only sustainable as long as waste is used rather than specially grown crops. what else can we use bio mass for fuel. ready to run cars, trucks or even planes, an innovative flight last year saved 20 metric tons of c o 2 emissions jet fuel was mixed with used cooking oil for the route from paris to montreal. another biofuel is bio ethanol plant, such as corn or sugar cane are fermented and distilled bio ethanol can replace 10 to 20 percent of the gasoline use to power a vehicle. then there is bio diesel. it's made by combining
8:49 pm
animal fat or vegetable oils like rape seed, or soy with alcohol. as with ethanol, the bio diesel is then added to normal diesel fuel biofuels are used at gas stations worldwide. but according to the international energy agency, they only account for 3 percent of transport, fuel demand. the problem with biofuels is that crops have to be specially grown. and that steel space from food crops, or even depletes forests and bio diversity, like with palm oil trees and indonesia, sugar cane in brazil, and rapes seed in germany. a study in germany found that using biofuels can help save 9200000 tons of the countries, annual c o 2 emissions. but 16400000 tons could be stored if natural vegetation were allowed to return on crop fields. instead. the simplest means of generating
8:50 pm
bio mass. energy is our most ancient way burning it like would leaves or waste, ah, governments around the world are even using it as part of their carbon neutral strategies. and by bio mass, we mean good old trees ah, as what talents? over the past decade, the demand for them as an energy source has steadily risen. the us is the biggest exporter with a market share of 62 percent. they're usually made from wood residues like sawdust or wood chips, usually because think tanks and and g o s have gathered evidence that shows that natural forests and habitats in eastern europe and north america are being destroyed. to state the growing appetite form when pellets through illegal logging . policymakers in the u. s. e u and
8:51 pm
u. k. have classified woody bio mass as renewable, allowing governments to subsidize the production and burning of wood pellets. many countries don't have to report emissions from wood fired power plants because trees are seen as a renewable resource. producers are just required to reforest areas so that the c o 2 released while burning pellets is reabsorbed no in the united states. so depending on what state you're in, you plan to, to, for trees, for every one you cut down the plant tune for new watts. but there are little tiny pine trees. researchers like cali suggest that the immediate impact of substituting wood for coal is an increase in atmospheric c o. 2. a study found that depending on
8:52 pm
the type of forest it could take up to 10 years until newly planted trees absorb the same amount of carbon socked up by the ones that were cut down. all of our trees store more carbon. so there are certain chorus that are even more critical to combat climate change than others. unfortunately, these are some of the forest being loud down for bio mass energy. most forms of bio mass look at 1st glance to be better than they are burning would to replace coal is not a solution because even if the wood comes from sustainable forestry or is would waste it still produces emissions would waste can however, be digested by bacteria at a bio gas facility and organic products like that, banana peel power in your phone can help manage waste cycles. that does make sense, but to day bio mass, energy covers only a small part of our won't line demand. it can work in combination with other renewables,
8:53 pm
but it's not scalable to be our main energy source. not even in the future. this weeks, global snack comes from the mall, deeds in the indian ocean. ah. the mol deems is a country of more than a 1000 islands, spread over $26.00 articles. on one of them, la move. they serve up a very special snag. go ha maria or fish ball. terry his lamas signature dish. at the reveries. diving village hotel. it's one of which specialties on the menu. and because only people from lamar know how to make authentic goal that ria hotel manager abaz ibrahim shows how it's done to day. i'm here in our kitchen, is to explain my chef till how to make it. because
