waterfalls flowing water particles into the air b, trees and sweating out up to 1000 liters of water in a day. a forest fires, collaborating large amounts of moisture to them to get the answer. learn more about this phenomenon, a heavy, invisible river that flows through the sky starts march 23rd on d, w. o, o. m. ah, for more than a year, ukrainian soldiers have been locked in a fierce battle against russia's invading forces. technology including the use of

reconnaissance drones, has played a key role in their resistance. we'll have more on that in a moment, but 1st a look at what else we have coming up. winds of change a tiny island in denmark, it goes green. swipe to invest, white trading outs are all the rates and lay of the land thriving and then male dominated world of farming. i'm kate ferguson. welcome to mate. since russia's invasion ukraine's allies have been in constant discussions about how best to support the country, governments have sent billions of dollars in military aid and some have provided weapons and equipment to. but the private sector is also offering assistance, such as by providing drone is designed with the elegance of a dragon fly in mind. flying drones has become a popular form of recreation, but b and that the hovering devices have a range of practical applications,

like monitoring and the condition of wind farms, or indeed the quality of farm lines. in the future. they may also deliver packages, especially of critical items like medicine. drones are also used in maritime rescue operations in police investigations and in fighting fires. but they do pose a danger to especially to air traffic and in the wrong hands they can be used for espionage or for mass surveillance. by far their most common application, though is in the military. believe it or not, the 1st military drone dates back to 930. since then, machines like the so called predator have been used to target enemies in far away places with the potential to cause widespread destruction. but not all military drones are equipped with weapons. many are used to gather information with the aim

of giving one side unintelligence edge over the other. in our next report, we'll hear from a german company that is supplying such recognizance drones to ukraine. these drones are set to be used in the ukraine war for detecting potential russian attacks. they're made by a high tech firm in southern germany, the c e o used to be in the military himself. now he builds drones for reconnaissance operations. so in terms of a 150 units deployed now i said the end of 2023 and, and we're planning to send more and we have planning to send as long as this war continues in order to, to help they're already in use and ukraine and keith has ordered dozens more this year. they cost over $180000.00 euros each. the german government is funding the purchase at a cost of $20000000.00 euros. the drones can take off and land vertically. they

have a wingspan of 2.8 meters and a range of 30 kilometers. this drone is for reconnaissance purposes only. it maps out targets in 3 d using thermal imaging, but it can't drop bombs. it starts circling, it starts looking for potential targets like tangs or artillery positions and, and if the data feeds it back to the operator who then transfers that to the hierarchal moms and the higher promise transfers these persistent informations to the ukrainian artillery. so basically we provide target data because we have the sensor and the utilities, the shooter. once the drones job is done, the enemy positions are forwarded to the ukranian artillery.

the russian formations often have little defense against such high tech. from the air communication on the ground is possible only with an intact telecommunications in it work and g p. s data. but when the russian army invaded in february 2022, it largely destroyed ukraine's telecom network through air raids. and hacker attacks these days, satellites of private u. s. companies. starling can be seen in the sky for the ukranian army. this was the only way to continue modern warfare, supported by the world's largest satellite network. many ukrainian soldiers involved in reconnaissance never go anywhere without their starling decoder. the, the sawing due to next lease some units, for example, our dealer units, ah, to direct the fire. that's why,

oh dear became more shon alternatives. what better? nothing or styling ukraine has to pay for the service, but it receives money for that from allies in the west and elsewhere. star link is owned by us entrepreneur ellen musk space x which developed the network. experts say, waging war with satellites and drones marks the start of a new era of hybrid warfare. all people are able to insurance. the yeah. what, what happens are on the front line? sure. yeah. fall from the back. i would say. and i think many people know hollywood movies where you can see it grow and flying somewhere and the people operating those drones are sitting somewhere and in the desert, all nevada. and this is actually what,

what is possible today many different kinds of drones from various firms are being used in the ukraine war. but the fleet from germany is one of the largest germany is set to complete its delivery of surveillance drones to ukraine. by the summer. the world's 1st hybrid high tech war shows no signs of ending. and the new drones won't do anything to change that whether it's committing to a vigorous recycling regime or investing in renewable energy going green is a lot more easily feds than done. but where there's a will, there's a way the tiny island of boy hall of denmark is a good case in point, having invested in sustainable business practices, it is well on its way to becoming carbon neutral. i report a key deal. how went there to find out just what it takes to put the environment

1st. i know it looked like it right now, but this island might be the best island in europe and even the world. not because of its sandy beaches or its architecture or year round world weather. so cool. but because it's maybe the greenest island in the world, all the energy produced here is with the reuse, a lot of their wasted and reviving their struggling economy by becoming more sustainable. but they are running into a lot of all to familiar found and problem problems that a lot of places around the world are trying to solve right now. so how did they become the greenest island? can they keep it up and what can we all learn from them? the 1st step was to reduce waste. the common problem with islands is that waste can

pile up quickly and can be expensive to ship out. many islands, especially those with lots of tourists like barley, i heavily polluted with plastic and other trash and burn a lot of it on the island. which used to be similar here to people already have to thought their household waste into 6th categories and they want about to 12 and the waste that the recycling yard is divided into 40 categories to make recycling easier and more efficient. powder people react. basically, when you started making the category, i wouldn't start at this sir. several years ago. it was a, not a 5, but our time was up for quite a while. he was angry, but you know, why was that? but now, you know, with mickey scott sense that they are supposed to show off the waste and we tell them a lot of that. it's not waste, it's resources looking beautiful. many businesses on,

on line, also recycle their own waste so that it doesn't even have to make its way to the recycle like this fiber which is left over from producing rate. because this directly from the from are you still have a little bit in waste leaves and stuff like that, which we are taking away also. and that we are pressing into pellets. which way he think is saving money. so no need to buy oil or gas or anything in this sustainable hotel. a lot of the furniture is made of wood that would have been thrown away shower water is we used to flush the toilet and to add a whimsical touch, this path is made from old glass bottles. but that doesn't mean bonham is completely waste free. some hazardous trash still gets lanfield and about a quarter of it gets bound. what kind of waste is this a?

so how for waste we mix a doctor that the wet a waste with the tri waste. then it's gone up in word and we're used to the heat from incinerator to district shooting and orange. why canvas be recycled? it could be we don't have some companies who can the take it to and were you should come back in 5 years or maybe 6 years. this mountain of our voice will be much smaller. the goal is to sought the waste so well that nothing has to be banned at the latest by 2032. that's when this plant will have to shut down because it will be too old. the 2nd step was to stop reducing their own energy and become less depend on electricity for elsewhere. islands especially are often dependent on the mainland or even other countries, providing them with energy which can become expensive. up until a few decades ago, bonham's energy came from almost a 100 percent fossil fuels,

but not any more solar panels of photo voltaire x. we have a bio gas system and bonham and of course also wind turbines on shore. some of the solar panels were developed, especially for bonham. like these windowpane ones, many businesses and they're organic ways to buy a gas facility where it's turned into energy. most of the remaining electricity and some of the heat on bonham is produced by burning wood chips. although wood is renewable banning it is one of the dirtiest ways of producing energy it emits a lot of c o 2. that's why bonham is planning to use less of it. another hitch was the same problem. a lot of other places have people are very, very fond of where that will a loop. i think we all are. and of course this is a discussion always when you put a winter around to live, you can really see them. many islanders were against windmills in their back yard.

therefore our local politicians exit well, our food is not to put up more. winter was on shore. we will put off shore. i sadly enough, when for wind power, bonham's harbor is already full of offshore wind turbines, which are going to be installed a few kilometers off the coast. and on top of that, they face a well known problem. what to do when the wind stops blowing and the sun stops shining, the energy produced in peak time needs to be stored for when none is generated. we're going to pull of a massive energy storage capacity here on more from salt. what is morton salt a basically a salt that we will mill on, on putting in electricity. shoppers in electricity from the winter months when the arriving. and then we renewed it need energy and we just put water into that and creech steam. and then we produce heat and power. so therefore we can contain

a lot of energy for a long period of time. actually, how big is it going to be? it's going to be around to the top floor. so it's going to fill out this entire room, actually, few, it won't be nearly enough to store all the excess energy. but if all goes well, the company building at once didn't store more on a bigger scale. so the original plan was to run on a 100 percent renewables by 2025. is that going to happen? do you think? definitely not. definitely not. i think we, we have, i think we will be very close in terms of our energy system on bonham. we have to fix land based transportation, not only of on home. i think that's appropriate problem. i think that is a problem in germany or in wrist. and margot risk world actually like with this electric charging station that isn't as popular as people would have hoped. the around 20 charging station scattered across bon home, which is not a lot electric cars are still more expensive than gasoline ones, meaning it's a hard switch to make if you're not the richest regions,

once more of them on the streets, their own home plans to use the car batteries to also store some excess energy, which is already happening on a test basis with these electric cars that are owned by the islands municipality. another big problem is this very because it runs on marine diesel and as very dirty . there's some discussion about hydrogen oil, electric engines, which are cleaner, but it's still very early days. change can be slower than wanted, especially if you can't just throw money at a problem. i strongly agree that all people want to do the right thing and the most squeezing, but they have to be able to afford it also at the same time. that's why a lot of the efforts here are co funded by you or governmental programs or are set up as experiments that companies collaborate on and invest money into. so of course, all of these efforts, those lead the entire island is super green and the to break a friendly, politic,

rolling technologies and missing fund can get in the way and delay progress. there's still a lot of things we can learn from this tiny island experimenting away on the baltic sea. you can't just copy what was done here and paste it anywhere, but you can copy the core idea, which is make sustainability the easiest most logical and heat way of doing things . and where this isn't the case yet, we need incentives. like wrapping up taxes on fossil fuels, subsidizing electric transport, or investing in experimental project like this one. once upon a time monitoring a portfolio of stocks required to hire a broker. those days are over. the rise of trading apps means anyone can set up an investment account and tracker shares in real time. the trend has also led to the rise of so called fin through and there is online finance girls who breakdown the markets for would be investors a his among the under thursdays, many of whom no longer believe they can rely on their pensions to support them in

old age. i'm tomas hood today we're talking about e t f diversification because soon as mom, e t f diversification. that means nothing to many. yet millions of people watch thomas's explain or videos. that's because more and more of them are trading and chairs and financial packages, and he's in miss patton's or something. his youtube channel is a hit with his target audience. there are around 15 of us. 6 years ago we started to put financial videos on youtube, and then about 3 years ago, the whole thing got so big on that that we my co founder and i said, we have to do this full time. we can keep doing it in addition to our other jobs are the 2 of us then decided to quit and come to berlin. more and more young adults around the world are trading and shares. a recent study found the number of 14 to 29 year olds doing so in germany. rose by 40 percent last year. as investing is

much easier than it once was. one doesn't, it's easier than ever before you had to invest inexpensive funds like with expensive order fees do do, do you do it in the hurdles to accessing the market? were much larger. you even had to go to your local bank branch. those hurdles are gone now. bought mobile apps have made things easier. christina t o is studying marketing, has a student job and trades in shares on the side. and ethan problem i have is still pending and image quality. i earned my 1st 1000 by buying shares that a good price of target, holding them long term for a certain time and, and then selling them. i didn't have one done with the faculty taba i, i'll triggers for selling our, for example, when the quarterly report changes or the numbers are worse than the dekota, or when i see that the business has invested in something that i don't believe in myself and honeymoon was invested into his my favorite global but sometimes the

whole thing can go wrong. shares can lose their value. that's why it's important to sell at the right time to avoid heavy losses. when was it in the always have to factor in that the market changes that businesses change, then it's important that you repossession yourself and okay, you don't want to invest in something in which you don't see a future good. felix herfer or so invest in shares in his late twenty's, he studied business administration and now works as a project leader in sports marketing. he controls his stocks in share packages via an app dash boss come maternity competition with the front of it is objectively of course when you turn a profit because there are no great hurdles and you can do it on the go via the app . you can fit it flexibly into your lifestyle, so i can pay 5 euros into my account or, or 500. depending on my available budget,

we were making investing as easy as shopping online. that's how christiane hecker makes money. he's the co founder of online stockbroker trade republic, based in berlin. it has over a 160 employees and his present in 17 countries. you don't need more than a mobile phone and the willingness to thought, and then you can easily on a sunday afternoon, don't of the emp on board, just within 5 minutes, 5 minutes, you do have an account. you can set up the savings plan. the 3 taps on him over the phone, and then we even transfer the money from your bank account from any of the bank into your account, month by month among an entire investment portfolio in one app. the account balance here, 2990 euros. the green line shows the profit per day. it's important for speculators to diversify their investments, to lower the risk and survive low profit periods in short to hold on to their shares until prices rise again. shares in french luxury brand l v m

h are also on offer they're often too expensive for average earners. and there are trading fees on top. platforms like trade republic are often cheaper to use, but offer no consultations or advice. so novice investors can quickly lose their shirts, turning low cost trading into a cost li adventure. let's talk about costs. if you go to any big bank to actively manage funds or to insurances, you'll pay annual fees of one to 2 to 3 percent of your a ton, one to 2 to 3 percent is gag antic fees, internal public? if you go into a savings plan, your pay, 0.2 percent and fees, right. so it's really a fraction of the cost. the number of young investors is growing and it needs to young people face uncertain times with pensions in germany. no longer enough for

everyone to live for shareholder felix herfer has another 30 years to save until retirement. and he thinks his investment in the stock market will help him do that . as easy as it is to invest, it's worth remembering the old maxim. what goes up must come down again. in our next report, we'll meet a young woman from the philippines, who knows a thing or 2 about keeping her feet firmly on the ground. louise, my buelo is a farmer and entrepreneur who is on a mission to make farming both a more sustainable and respected way of life. ah, when i started off, i did experience a lot of resistance because i'm a young woman with

i don't exactly look with part of a farmer and a lot of elders would not want to listen to a young woman because they've had so much experience. it's a male dominated industry. there's not many young women who are actually interested in agriculture. ah, i'm louisa below and the founder of the cow project. and i live in medina, or in the philippines. philippines is one of the most at risk countries to hazards brought about by climate change and we are at the front lines of the climate crisis to typhoons and droughts and natural disasters. in december of 2016, our town was hit by super typhoon not 10. and it destroyed about 80 percent of agricultural livelihoods in agriculture land in my town alone and displaced over

a 1000 families. so we knew that after that type food, we needed a way to rebuild and create better type of resiliency ball with it started as a typhoon relief rate, where we gave away ceilings and vegetables used to rebuild their, their agricultural livelihoods. but then we realized that it was just kind of a bonded response and we needed to actually position them better for the long term . so that was when we realized that core was a pretty good prop because it was already better suited to our ecosystem. as we were going along with, i realized that there are a lot of things that i can integrate into regenerative agriculture, from sustainable farming practices that came from our elders. so it became more of a collaborative effort to move forward and rethink our food systems. in

here in the philippines, there's a stigma against farming where people perceive it to be associated to poverty on sustainability and failure, which is quite terrible. i mean, it's really important to change the stigma so that more young people can get into farming because our average age of farmers is that around 57 years old, young people can actually make a change and innovate and positively impact communities along the way. and i think that you just have to start small and start now and start look mm. and that brings us to the end of this edition of major. thank you so much for watching. remember, you can always find the reports from today, show on t w dot com. and if you're interested in more business stories, do check out the dw youtube tunnel until next time for me. and the team is provide ticket
