opponents of nuclear power, a determined to find alternatives and refuge in pu cat russians are flocking to thailand while moscow wages war 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 bumps of a summer world. hunger is on the rise. again. the fossil fuel industry, on the other hand, is booming oil gas and coal are experiencing a renaissance. europe is importing energy from other countries to reduce dependence on russian gas and oil. new liquefied natural gas terminals at being on many
9:32 am
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 neighborhood. many of the people here are like her latino 2nd. i think nike. hi, i'm your neighbor. if i know i've information in spanish and english about air pollution, can i put this up here on the phone? what? what, 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,
9:33 am
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 when that flew in his industry allow in the command center. he shows
9:34 am
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 emission, the source emissions. we call them here in the community or in the surrounding area . we've also eliminated all of the diesel truck trips that would be drive in 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 u. s. 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
9:35 am
change. we're an oiler gas company that talks about the energy transition. and we want to provide reliable abundant energy that is, that is produced as clearly 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 widen to cracks and release 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 lig knight is burn. the downside is that climate damage in methane escapes. a threat to the environment and people living nearby lucy molina think. so we need with her in the
9:36 am
morning before works. she lives in a small house with her teenaged children and dogs. when she tells us about the experiences and illnesses and 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 block, most the every one, all our grandparents and family members who passed away from cancer or some kind of like heart disease. grave illnesses. right. um i think that's the worst then it's become a normal. you know, it's become normalized that now we're just waiting for it to happen to us. carl use the truck. they believe that thousands of households are exposed to harmful gas every day. her daughter also struggles with regular complaints,
9:37 am
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, ah, i use a sink water to cook. we always, i. so we use a sort of a 5 gallons in corner when it comes to ground water. the molina 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 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,
9:38 am
lowered the cost of energy in the united states. it's really 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 a 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 water and bio mass is expected to increase by 2400 gigawatts worldwide. according to the international energy agency,
9:39 am
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 energy 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 infocast, she may prefecture, hidden behind them as a wild of its own. people here like to take things into their own hands like ja m on thoughtful. he was a passionate sa cobra who most of his life the 72 year old was the night's generation to run the burglary. but then in 2011,
9:40 am
the fukushima nuclear disaster happened only a 100 kilometers away from the headquarters of the family business. knew not the time. i really thought of that said for a saki brewery after 220 years at all. don't you think those jerks who's to blame for this? all of them are laid claimed that it was all a 100 percent safe on over the mcdonald's vote. fortunately though the nuclear radiation did not reach eisen to day, they still produced the rice wine here. but a lot has changed this company now exists with the colorful fist in its logo. now i'm on sarto is no longer a brewer as his main profession. he's now an energy manager. together with others, he founded the electricity provider ising power. they want to establish their own
9:41 am
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. i just obscures the obvious truth omaha she didn't 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 or she's on our government should be leading the way green 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 in me, hama in the west. a reactor is supplying electricity after a 10 year shut down. at the ministry of economy,
9:42 am
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 today 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 here. that's correct. so there's limited scope for introducing renewable energy sources, or you can feed them off. the castle of iser was once a busty and at the rebellious samurai, the region is 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 supports as an intermediary. not only a boxes of vegetables delivered to the customers doorsteps,
9:43 am
but also contracts for electricity from alternative suppliers, such as icy power in the small town of kitty carter in i's do a sammy, a water has opted for this. the 36 year old is from here and recently returned home after a long time he tokyo in her new house. she is focusing on regional supplies. also, when it comes to energy in, you're gonna go fortunately, there are still only a few people who switch electricity of i don't ask them what. okay, that makes me anxious because things are moving so slowly or okay, 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 any more thought there for her children. she hopes for a future without the risks of nuclear power. she says many here feel that way. but they don't always trust that alternative suppliers will deliver reliably electricity pioneer jamante sarto sells energy generated from solar plants and bio
9:44 am
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 pass that the output is barely enough for 2000 households so far. the yearly 100000000 don't dare to start and you will never get beyond nuclear power or coal power or the change is important shoes and the rest will follow. oh or another, surely. whatever the tokyo government plans sarto dreamed that one day alternative electricity will power the entire icey region long lines and traffic jams at the board as fully booked flights. many citizen fled russia since the outbreak of war. there were no exact figures, but estimates suggest around 1000000 of left russia. so most fled to neighboring countries such as georgia, armenia,
9:45 am
or catholics. dawn with increasing numbers are also arriving in thailand on the island of to catch both russian vacation and their compatriots in exile. holidaymakers posing on the beach into cats. this error flight line 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 to stay 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 bart russian credit cards blocked you to sanctions and rubles not accepted. it's not a big deal though. one tourist tells us he exchange, we bought the us dollars in moscow. and then here in spart. convenient need. they can also get a visa on arrival. thailand is not among the countries imposing restrictions on
9:46 am
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 what we don't know. what's wrong with them. yeah, maybe with some granules of 8. i don't know of this fall, so stream of history. so is it a strange feeling for you being here on a holiday when you are from for your i'm so tired, fathers will rule so tired of olives not for retired one to rest, for one holders for both from one song noble. if roots will look over a wall, how good 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,
9:47 am
and there in another world. ah, russians have been flocking to pu catch since pandemic travel restrictions east and direct flight 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. i got on got you and we need to read them. okay. and now they're finally coming back, lummus i'm, we can't turn them away. we can't afford to tell russians,
9:48 am
they're not welcome. thailand, monet's tourists with the 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 cats had of taurus and sees it was, it's quite in the letter politics and abuses, bosom and local. he isaac will get this will come. everybody is high for me. if i were alive is, are under fire, i would feel something else. but thailand, 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 with a girl. i was say they were doing something. let 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
9:49 am
forget the bud risk from residence bidding increases seriously? yes. yes it is. it's something that you appreciate the good you well we actually, we will come abroad and to be honest to you will get want to have a longer stay anyway. all right, i will let you go. not i think that's that's, that's good. that's a platen 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 reluctant to talk to us. in pattaya further north, we visit a boxing school from young to old taurus 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 is still in russia. i suppose. how about your parents boys? are my parents? yes, they are in russia now. yes. and are they notes? but people, but they look like, see the vision and oh, in some have it have like, only propaganda. nikita won't go back. he's here to escape the regime. the army and the war i drafted for the army. yes. oh yes. as, as i know, they came to my registration place over there in 5 am with boots. 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
9:51 am
thailand. they're all around 400000 known plant species. we don't even consume a tenths 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. 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. sali, mazel gooey farms fruit and vegetables is yields
9:52 am
a 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 carma. sometimes they're small and crooked in my but they produce better quality fruit morning. trish's me there and tastier. hm. and better adapted to our climate up to the mom, where he avoids artificial fertilizers as well, and preferred to make his own compost. how in the huge way, 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 and that'll biter 3. yes. then we add remnants of fruit and vegetables health that are thrown out of market listed as you were lower. as we're finally, we add a bit of hay her, which has a lot of carbon. yeah. ammonia has any i became born in the here in highly,

via and her to been for decades, canisius government bought both hybrid and genetically engineered seeds. they were meant to produce greater yields. the country still imports around 85 percent of its seeds today. but increasing numbers of farmers want to return to using local seeds . and to nicea see, bank has been able to help them. they found ancient seeds from to nicea 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 eton these easy. all we might be able to use them for cross pollination body which would in turn life the lead to improved yields a your old more meals to help better market. his products, salim, of the gooey goes to phase on
