were coming to visions save the date for the d. w. global media form 2023 in bonn, germany and increasingly fragmented world with a growing number of voices, digitally amplified. we see where this clutter can lead what we really need, overcoming divisions into vision for tomorrow's journalism. save the date and join us for this discussion of the 16th edition of d, w. c. global media forum. ah ah, welcome to global 3000 cast or blessing in the us. the fucking industry is booming. to the dismay of environmentalists steely defiance in japan,

opponents of nuclear power determined to find alternatives and refuge in pu cat russians are flocking to thailand while moscow wages world. it's just over a year since russia began its invasion of ukraine, which violated international law. and the fighting continues unabated. the war has world wide implications. global energy prices have risen by an average of 50 percent, says the world bank. the cost of living is increasing and the poorest of feeling the brunt of expert wealth, hunger is on the rise. again. the fossil fuel industry, on the other hand, is booming oil gas and coal are experiencing a renee salts. europe is importing energy from other countries to reduce dependence on russian gas and oil. new liquefied natural gas terminals are being built on many

european coasts. in the u. s. a problematic process is causing controversy. it's freezing cold, but lucy molina is out and about and lost in thought. she plans to hold a talk in her town. she wants to educate her neighbourhood. many of the people here are like her latinos, matthew nike. hi, i'm your neighbor this minute. i've information in spanish and english about air pollution. can i put this up here? i'm in a promo. what did i give her? the mom of lucy molina is a real fighter and she's taking on the fracking industry in the area around denver, colorado. there are countless fracking sites and refineries. she tells us she wants people to become aware of what a big problem at is for the environment. and for the health of those living here, this community has the love to make that change and become leaders and become that example for, for um, for the rest of the worlds, you know, and, and i, you know,

we need to fight back. it's i think, ah, i see hope, some except her posters willingly. the, the brothers are skeptical. it quickly becomes clear to her that it's not all that simple. this neighbor works in the energy industry, lucy, chance with him for over 10 minutes. while we observe from a distance, he talks about his job and his company, the fracking oil and gas industry creates a lot of jobs. during the energy crisis, the industry is making something of a come back as a major energy producer all around the area. we see fracking facilities and refineries, but these companies say they are changing their messages. we are cleaner than our image. brian cain is responsible for sustainability at his company. he gives us a rare insight. it's one that few in his industry allow in the command center. he

shows us that a new drilling site is being created with significantly fewer c o 2 emissions. the reason these big generators, they use natural gas instead of diesel. they're not creating a lot of emissions on site like you would if you had dozens of generators, dozens of diesel generators, powering the fleets, you're not creating those emissions, the source emissions, we call them during the community or in the surrounding area. we've also eliminated all of the diesel truck trips that would be driving day and night to, to bring fuel to diesel generators. you can't make the entire process 100 percent climate friendly, says cain. but you can do so for the condition surrounding it. without fracking, he says the us would have a serious energy problem right now. there is no silver bullet. when it comes to energy policy, there is no form of energy. that's completely perfect right now in our world. we're

an oil and gas company that talks about climate change. we're in oil and gas company that talks about the energy transition. and we want to provide reliable, abundant energy. that is, that is produced as cleanly as it can possibly be produced. fracking involves drilling deep into the earth, fracturing the rock layers to create cracks, a mixture of water sound and chemicals is injected at high pressure to widened the cracks and released the trapped gas or oil. the advantage is that important energy reserves can be extracted and only half as many c o 2 emissions are produced per kilowatt hour of electricity as when luke knight is burn. the downside is that climate damaging methane escapes. a threat to the environment and people living nearby. lucy molina thank. so we meet

up with her in the morning before works. she lives in a small house with her teenaged children and dogs. when she tells us about the experiences and illnesses in her neighbourhood, she gets upset. some chemical substances used by the industry have been classified as carcinogenic, but there are no reliable long term studies. lucy still believes there's a connection. i think the ho block from my grandma's blog, most the everyone all our grandparents and family members who passed away from cancer or some kind of like heart disease. grey wellness is right. um i think that's the words. then it's become a normal, you know, it's become normalized that now we're just waiting for it to happen to us, the car, i'll use the truck. they believe that thousands of households are exposed to harmful gas every day. her daughter also struggles with regular complaints,

but it's not just the quality of the air. it's also the ground water quality that worries the family. the has a negative impact on our community, especially our drinking water. because we don't, we can't ha, i'd use a sink water to cook. we always have a, we use a, a sort of a 5 gallons in a corner. when it comes to ground water, the molinas are not alone in many neighboring towns. people complain that millions of leaders of water are no longer safe to use but the fracking industry denies this. they say sufficient safeguards are in place. the industry is booming and looks forward to a promising future, says the head of liberty, energy, a market leader in the industry. we went from a largest importer of oil and natural gas in the world to the 2nd largest exporter of natural gas. and by far, the world's largest producer boil,

lowered the cost of energy in the united states. it's re short manufacturing jobs, the petrochemical industry, steel industry and fertilizer industry are coming back to the united states because of our energy cost advantage. unfortunately, over the last year, we've been able to export a huge amount of natural gas to europe. so other countries are also benefiting from the fracking come back in the us. lucy molina continues to believe the price is too high because no matter how clean and green fracking companies present themselves, they never really will be. she says, now she wants to run for city council, until then she'll continue to put up posters in her town in the cold. the fossil fuel sector might be booming right now, but the shift to renewable energy sources is also gaining momentum by 2027 power from wind solar, puerto and bio mass is expected to increase by 2400 gigawatts worldwide. according to the international energy agency,

that's equivalent to china's current total power capacity by 2015, 90 percent of electricity production could come from renewables. but the proportion of nuclear, the g below so great many believe it to be climate friendly, around $440.00 nuclear power plants worldwide are in operation producing just under 10 percent of global energy. more than 100 new reactors are being built or in planning, including in japan, despite the fukushima disaster of 2011 the mountains of ice o in focus, she may prefecture, hidden behind them as a wild of its own. people here like to take things into their own hands like yellow on thoughtful. he was a passionate soc, a borrower who most of his life, the 72 year old, was the night generation to run the bery. but then in 2011,

the fukushima nuclear disaster happened only a 100 kilometers away from the headquarters of the family business near her. when you and at the time, i really thought him that fit for our saki brewery after 220 years settled on what you think. those jerks, who's to blame potential of late, claimed that it was all a 100 percent safe. and obama? martha lucel's vote fortunately though the nuclear radiation did not reach either today they still produced the rice wine here, with a lot has changed this company now exists with the colorful fist and its logo. yeah, i'm on sato is no longer a brewer as his main profession. he's now an energy manager. together with others. he found at the electricity provider,

eyes and power. they want to establish their own energy supply based only on renewable energy sources. so 8 rural communities, 20 local companies and private individuals has taught the money for it. they want a regents futures to be free of nuclear power. now not catching in in your study game buzzle, my fossil fuels and nuclear power will only delay development. none. okay. it's not the solution miss, it just obscures the obvious truce. omaha should like it even though the transition will be difficult in the short term. we have to deal with it and still continue along this part of the auction on our government should be leading the way cronyn already and others yelp. there is opposition to nuclear energy. that 12 years after fukushima, only a few are still raising their voices against the energy giants. the government has bringing decommissioned nuclear power plants back on the grid and me, hama in the west. a reactor is supplying electricity after a 10 year shut down. at the ministry of economy,

the use of nuclear power is back in favor. they say it's necessary to utilize all energy sources to both protect the climate. unsecure, the energy supply rug. how can you either net to renew or can you? japan is not very self sufficient. energy wise, i cook, our dependence on fossil fuels from abroad is very high, pretty much either japan doesn't have much flat land to your gas, correct? so there's limited scope for introducing renewable energy sources, or you can feed them all. the causal of iser was once a busty and of the rebellious samurai, the region as known for its spirit of resistance. according to the electricity rebels and isaac to day, there is plenty of space here to generate power from renewable sources. but it's a rocky road. first of all, they have to find buyers. a nationwide agricultural cooperative provide support as an intermediary. not only a boxes of vegetables delivered to the customers doorsteps,

but also contracts for electricity from alternative suppliers, such as icy power. in the small town of kitty carter, in eyes do a sammy, a water has opted for this. the 36 year old is from here and recently returned home after a long time, a tokyo in her new house. she is focusing on regional supplies. also, when it comes to energy in, you're going up, did he go? fortunately, there are still only a few people who switch electricity of i did ask him what caused that makes me anxious because things are moving so slowly or not, i want to help encourage people to change things and their everyday lives. i also want to teach that to my children or them without anymore thought it for her children. she hopes for a future without the risks of nuclear power. she says many her feel that way, but they don't always trust that alternative suppliers will deliver reliably electricity pioneer. ja. monsanto sells energy generated from solar plants and bio

mass. he also operates a small hydro electric plant and is planning its 1st wind turbines. it's a lot of effort for the investors and yet just a modest 1st that the output is barely enough for 2000 households. so far. the yachting 100000000, don't dare to start it. you'll never get beyond nuclear power or coal power or the joint important issues and the rest will follow up with another sheila, whatever the tokyo government plans sarto dreamed that one day alternative electricity will power the entire icy region. long lines and traffic jams at the borders fully booked flights. many citizens have fled russia since the outbreak of war. there were no exact figures, but estimates suggest around 1000000 have left russia so far, most to flight to neighboring countries, such as georgia, armenia,

or kazakhstan. but increasing numbers are also arriving in thailand. on the island of qu, cat, they were both russian vacationers and their compatriots in exile, holiday makers, posing on the beach in pu cat. this error float liner has just touched down from moscow, one of 8 daily flights from russia. a welcome party await some of the latest incoming passengers with 3 or 400 on each flight. they certainly won't need that. they coats for the next 2 weeks. it's 30 or even 40 degrees celsius hotter than back home. but they will need cash in the form of tie, bought russian credit cards, a block due to sanctions and roubles, and not accept it. it's not a big deal though. one tourist tells us, oh, he exchange roubles for us dollars in moscow. and then here and bought conveniently,

they can also get a visa on arrival. thailand is not among the countries imposing restrictions on russian citizens. so now that they've made it here, how do they feel? don't know what to wait for people who have some problems with don't work with them or what's wrong with them. yeah. maybe with some granules of acre i don't know of this fall. so story of history. so is it a strange feeling? will you be here on a holiday when you come for your? i'm so tired. fathers, rural, so tired of olives knots were, were title one to read to one. hold is whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! and for russians looking to get away from an old who, cat is an ideal destination for some rest and relaxation. 10 hours flight from

moscow, and there in another world. ah, russians have been flocking to pu catch since pandemic travel restrictions east and direct flights resumed. and now they make up a big part of the beach scene. the pandemic related slump and tourism was felt especially hard in thailand. but now things are picking up again. and they're happy about the surgeon visitors from russia. got drunk, are you and we need to read with. okay. and now they're finally coming back. love. we can't turn them away. we can't afford to tell russians. they're not welcome.

thailand, monet's tourists with my money, but to local was nevertheless, have any reservations about doing business with russian tourists or is the very question, a presumptuous and unfair one. people go on vacation russians include it and a story that's how pu katz had of tourism sees it was, it's quite international politics and abuses person. i'm local, he, isaac would get his real come. everybody is high for me. if i were alive is under fire. i would feel something else, but thailand's government does not say something else wishing to remain neutral. it hasn't condemned moscow or imposed sanctions and russian guests. so welcome. as usual. they come as a family, but even though i was say they were doing something. i me do something, let me to stay longer. i would say so i would say,

so hospital i've been talking to you also in forget the bud read from russians, getting increases seriously. yes, yes, that is it something that you appreciated, the good you? well, we actually, we will hammer body and to be honest to you will get want to have a long as they anyway. all right, i'll be let you go. not i think that's that's, that's good. as it looks at the bretton, at is, is going on the construction beam in pu cat depends largely on russian demand and russian money, especially in the luxury segment. the advertising outside is in russian, and the realtors inside doing good business are also russian, or be it reluctant to talk to us in pattaya, sir, the nor squeeze visit a boxing school from young to old tourist to residence almost all the budding

fighters here are russian well, nikita a lawyer from moscow arrived 2 months ago to stay a but part of your family's going retro supposed how about your parents was? are my parents? yes, they are in russia now. oh yes, and are they not? but people, but they look like, see the vision? i'm all in some of the have like only propaganda. nikita won't go back. he's here to escape the regime, the army and the war. my doctor. yes. oh yes. as, as i know, they came through my registration place over there in 5 am with booth. mm hm. you could have been in ukraine by now. he says, and perhaps already dead. but now he's made an invigorating new life for himself in

thailand. they're all around 400000 known plant species. we don't even consume a 10th of them, but there are countless varieties of thousands of crop species worldwide. however, such diversity is under threat. 75 percent of crop varieties have disappeared in the last century alone. that's largely down to the mono cultures of industrial farming. but climate change driven crop failures, a generating new interest in old crop varieties. and they are often very hearty an egg plant harvest not far from the tennessean capital. here on his one and a half, hector, as of land sully, mother gooey farms,

fruit and vegetables. his yields are smaller than they are when he uses imported or genetically modified seeds. but he still prefers local seats. mostly as him did the he lay don't look particularly good after com a. sometimes they're small and crooked, and, but they produce better quality fruit, more nutritious with an tastier, humming and better adapted to our climate. happily my way, he avoids artificial fertilizers as well, and prefers to make his own compost. how long does it usually assume that we're trying to produce our own organic fertilizer editor, moth helena? first will i use chicken excrement? i do because it has a lot of nitrogen. i little barter 3. yes. then we add remnants of fruit and vegetables held that are thrown out of market listed as you were to power. and i swear, finally, we had a bit of hey, which has a lot of carbon. yeah, ammonia has any but got burned in here and highly via a turban. for decades,

canisius government bought both hybrid and genetically engineered seeds. they are meant to produce greater yields. the country still imports around 85 percent of its seeds to day, but increasing numbers of farmers want to return to using local scenes. and to nicea seat bank has been able to help them. they found ancient seeds from tunisia and other countries which they brought back since 2008. they've collected more than 7700 different c types not covers all the secret. the work we're doing today focuses on genes, sky, whitaker, as well as which genotypes impact crop quality sectors. and whether or not these traits fit a particular criteria locked specific, easy can easy. all we might be able to use them for cross pollination body which would in turn life lead to improved yields a your old more meals to help better market. his products saline mother gooey goes

to phase on a regular basis. they focus on investments and technological developments. in farming this year slogan is sustainable agriculture, which is the growing trend into nicea as well. we'll see them a told the farmers, local seeds are known for the unique taste and health benefits. so these are the sees our grandparents were familiar with rural show and we will see that will much they always found the best ones and passed them on. it's an inheritance they passed on to us young farmers. every year they gather the best seats. she salih mother gooey is fortunate to live so close to the capital. he can market his products and lots of different places, including sustainable fami events in tunis. organic farmers can sell that goods here once a week, a swan to an amount their money. ammonia were fighting for independent food

production on multiple fronts on a bunch of india is money. we're trying to get farmers to gather seeds, willow, a cub i showed with the ot bush at the same time, we're trying to produce more seeds together with our partners through money am on or back to natalie home and find out. we're also doing our best to educate farmers and show them how they can contact clients directly, that his or via social media. an actor was a dalla assistant down at acm, were based on my lobby. the organization hopes that more people will use traditional local seats as alternatives to imported ones. sally mother gooey has started collecting his own like these excellencies, us before my why you bill wouldn't have grown aware of the important role that local seeds play and then and i'm using that knowledge. no armina, the demand for the original seeds has risen and the prices have gone up along with it. when they, which seat sellers are taking advantage of their hobby, the hub. so my, my, these see should really be available to all farmers. money. i mean,

a muffler with blocks if, when the best case scenario would be farmers obtaining and reproducing them themselves, city pos, valid with all by going to show what the strategy has worked well with the ag plants. and now in the farmer hopes it will be just as fruitful with his other crops. and also with an eye on the worst been drought in the country. he says, traditional seeds fair better than imported varieties. and that's old from us like global 3000. and this week and do write to us label 3000 that d w dot com or on facebook. see you next time ah, with

a neutral by 2045. germany's public transport system is going green. is it goodbye to be old? but when you know they're converting to electric energy which present

a technical challenge, is it worth it for the climate? absolutely. but what about for businesses made in germany? in 30 minutes on d. w. a fight for freedom in georgia, a controversial bill, drive spouses into the streets. then the pro russian govern is actually giving in. it's a great victory for demonstrator. buttons will at last focus on 90 minutes on d. w. a . and guardians of truth. my name is john dinner and i have paid
