inbox, subscribe, now lotus i am the yeah, the new jobs. she's the face of a protest movement. she's there motivator. all of us here. our lives are, must needs. and she won't give up. no matter what. part of that amount on there, she nomic republic took my brother hostage a few days ago the trying to sign and let's see on the job. they will be silent, starts june, 3rd, dw, the building healthy or more sustainable economies requires a whole lot of technological innovation on both a small and

a large scale. one example of a rather substantial project is the feed my tunnel, a massive underwater possible one day link germany, denmark. we'll hear more about that in a moment's but 1st, a taster of what else we have coming up, caring for the elderly. what a robot, the con on the cons, do to help some lights. gonna lower. i put where to put all the solar panels and flooded with ideas of indonesia is goofing to an electric future. on cape ferguson, welcome to maze to in a few years from now, the construction of the world's longest underwater rail and road tunnel will be completely covering a distance of 18 kilometers. the same on bell tunnel will connect to the danish island of lowland with put got an in northern germany, causing travel time between the 2 countries to just 7 minutes by trade. it's a huge undertaking. one that proponents hope will put the prospect of flying out of

the question of the year its biggest construction sites. a record breaking tunnel is being built here. i was just these giant sipes of concrete on the well big a stretcher is being put to work. the tunnel were run under a stretch, just see between southern denmark and northern germany called the fame on about a few sections have already been built in order to test the concrete side. and the crucial that the sections of the board in one single piece i usually we with us, i told the foundation then the roles and the top, the number we thought here, we're doing the whole segment and one poor. i'm going to minimize any demo stress going on, and the problem is normally preventing cracks is obviously critical with a war to tide construction to not totally, to create this fan,

it's set to be the longest prefabricated tunnel on the planet comprising 2 tunnels . the trains and 2 because up to 270 meters long, the individual sections will later be in must in the sea and then locked together to contact the, the, the of the we know the digging here will destroy some reese do on foot. only a tiny propulsion tire the front of the loop on the right. no point, no 5 percent of the fuel set on the other hand line will be planting nearing elsewhere instead. to bring multiple times the area destroyed has if there's no, no, i don't understand the the total will cost to go through and rode roots between copenhagen and hamburg by some 160 kilometers. it's positive and e, you projects to speed up the rail. travel between northern and southern europe and when the slight options redundant in the out,

the brenda base tunnel connecting australia and is to lee is also under construction. stretching over 60 kilometers. it will be the longest, underground railway tunnel in the wild pack in denmark that building the ramp to the entrance. the fast segment of the tunnel will be installed along the flu, knocking with the and the according to our latest traffic full comes out, the we can expect around a $111.00 train is taking the total route every day in the system. so that's what our financial projections are based on because the fast because starting in 2030 will likely be sitting $12000.00 per day on the gym and coast construction is initial behind it. and he started in 2021 due to delays from legal challenges. but now it's full speed ahead for a project that has been in the pipeline for over 2 decades. what does she

think you need me? it was a fun indeed, and mark and don't. you don't need a lot of patients to navigate the different approval processes and demo gemini and the you all in one po. garden. i'm because it means ensuring that all the rules regulations and stipulations all being compliant with the gentleman and danish sides as often thoughts as i and on the danish side, the structure accommodating the fast prefabricated element is almost ready. once the concrete is in place to force you to media wide section can be taken out to see . but what about the safety of a tunnel, scanning some 18 kilometer method as soon as possible and ending. but it was a breach in the middle of the tunnel would mean serious trouble. so from the rolls of static, the design to withstand the impact of a high speed train or car crash. but i'm no problem. you're right. construction costs. now when it comes to elderly care,

nothing can quite rival the human touch of the combination of aging. societies on labor shortages mean has been an increasing interest in employing robots in nursing home settings. they're mainly used to complete manual tasks like lifting patients or bringing them objects. while such tests may sign in simple to of programming. a machine to do them is far from easy. our report because he has to pay you, visited a research team in germany to find out how it's done. i can distribute medication and operate the innovative they already helped me as a kid for the elderly and attentive bed found patients that they need. they just serve as waste is on wheels to follow simple instruction with these young researches, one to change this one day. the robots will be intelligent. at

the music institute of politics. they see that it's gone me a human noise robotic assistant for the elderly. i mean, gimme a piece pump. gummy makes it look easy, then it is good bye winter. how is your feet? hours of training and programming is going into teaching, gummy, how to move like a human. because gone, they will have all sorts of different jobs to do in various different. this one is about they have scared for instance, we want to do lots of songs or, or someone or turn them asleep. that's why this is one example of the head scare application. i know the piano is about daily life tasks. which 40 says i can example like carrying a glass of water or getting medication to the, to the seniors. the initial results. me bring me a glass of water. ready the rosa

must 1st learn how to move its hands and arms to imitate simple human movements. ready thank you, but the distance from road to human hand will vary. that's easy for us humans, but gummy has to learn it 1st go me is to see it moves through space and respond to touch. a lot of programming goes into it for humans. just intuition the you show me how to put the water with all the devices, you know, i to, i am programming, gar, me. such that garment is able to learn these, the coding skews, and then in the future a gummy time to itself. unlike many robots gummy has human lie, codes with plenty of training eventually go me will be able to carry out all sorts

of find the kind of grace it moves. things other restaurants cons nice to see you. you look marvelous today. due to social robots like type uh, have already been rolled out and cared homes even though the japanese models, language, comprehension, skills, and entertainment options are relatively primitive. the there's the caregiving robot reba to which helps this thing stuff. lift patients every day. and household robots, that sounds the alarm in case of accident. should i dial emergency services? no, no, i'm fine. in munich, the races on to create the base this in k row, but call me should eventually be able to carry out a medical examinations by employing an avatar

a double up. the robots of the folding an ultrasound is one of the things gone. you should be able to do one day for long term care. patients that makes sense says this test patient who's also adopted project consultants. i'm pensioner. sees any movie, do taste while i get some ability issuing them idols. and i won't have to move the elderly patient from the nursing home to the hospital or doctor's office. these can be a spot and it saves time. i'm use this country shanella. they read search is already bearing for the avatar road, but um is being used at a university hospital in munich in 10 years time. gomez should be able to go live as one of the most intelligent, mobile and medically adept ro boxed on the market. according to the international energy agency, renewables will account for over a 3rd of the world energy supply by 2025. while that's definitely good news for the

plant is it does post some logistical challenges. solar panels in particular take up a whole lot of space space that could be used to build houses or planned crops. but what if there were a more efficient way, as we need less of this and more of this to stay below 1.5 degrees. what time is running out? solo still only accounts for 3.7 percent of worldwide energy production. we desperately need more. lots, where can we put the solar panels? they need based on precious land land. we need 4 town houses and st. intact eco systems and food. here we have a serious space issue. we're already using a lot of else world to grow food. but what if we move crops and generated energy at the same time? it's time for act,

we've all takes the idea behind it. double the harvest to do this more deals a built in such a way that the soil beneath them can still be used for growing plants. what potential types are there? one is solar offenses. the space in between defense is, can be used to grow crops for livestock, all flower strips. all the modules could be built in a way that keeps the panels enough space to rotate towards the sun. but how the plant growing on the, on near the panels. we've been growing lots of different kinds of trucks, things that you would see at your local farmer's market. so tomatoes, peppers, squash. publishing. all of these different types of prompts have seemed to do really well in a well that is getting hotter and hot to the modules, ensure that list will to is needed for vacation. just think if you spilled your

coffee or your water, your tea in the shade versus the fall sun, where will it stay way longer? in the shape, we're finding that every time here again, it would stay wet for 2 days instead of 2 hours. but that's yes, very few buttons. not everything can be grown under the panels. cropped like we to millet require a full sun to grow wells. researches are looking into which panels and setup would be best for which chrome. some plans need to be gaps between the panels, corn and we would need total ones while shrubbery soybeans will be fine with the most cost variety. floating photovoltaics or float of all take might just be the next big thing. the idea of solar panels i mounted on rock like stretches which flow to unimed body of water pins. this in coverage of all there is awards which are available on the road the road would give about 23. however,

what piece of installed capacity this is, tomas, i'm the, evaluate the economic and technological feasibility of large scale floating p v. system. it to put this into perspective on these $2310.00 or what's we've generated as much electricity is a whole rhodes of needs 2 days in a year. you can already see what that could look like. and one of the biggest floating solar funds in singapore. here, the solar plan floats on the surface of a reservoir and produces enough energy to power about $16400.00 flats and the city state. the biggest floating farm and china even produces 5 times as much energy. the water also cools down the floating panels, making them more efficient. the panels instructions have to withstand wind waves

and corrosion. so father, multiple studies have not found any severe impact on either water quality or ecosystems. experts expect to flow to both takes to expand by up to keep this sense annually over the next 5 years, with markets, mainly in asia. but europe, africa, and the us are starting to invest as well. so any other places left to put solar panels up in space. yep. getting as close to the sun as possible to the sun shines 24 hours a day and you need 0 land on us. so why don't we put solar panels in the school, but the u caleb space energy initiative with around 50 partners from industry, government and science is planning to install a solar power satellite in space by 2035. the us, china and japan are also taking part in the solar space power quest. and this is

how it might work. satellites in the us do you stationary orbit, which is around 35000 kilometers from us, collect solar energy using huge solar panels. they convert the energy into microwave radiation and beam. it's down to us on the ground and nets of receiving antennas, or rick tennis, collect the microwaves and convert them to electricity for the grid. each satellite might produce 2 gigawatts of continuous power. as much as around $700.00 utility scale wind turbines, they'd be huge around 1.7 kilometers in diameter. and we'll wait several 1000 tons. the satellites would start to beam energy to us 24 hours a day. the beam is considered to be harmless for animals and humans. it's about a quarter the strings of the midday sun. but energy is lost during the transmission

and the conversion process. and the cost of getting the modules into space is well sky high. even if we manage to build and finance solar power satellites, and the next decade, we need new solar power to combat climate change now. and they already find more realistic ways of generating solar energy quickly without losing urgently needed land. and all of them are cheaper, foster and much more promising is to indonesia know where some 76000000 people live in areas prone to flooding the frequent inundation and make it especially difficult to get around with roads often rendered impassable. now a company has come up with an innovation, it helps will help to address that challenge. an o electric flood resistance skills there seems promising, but is it as green as

a tense test? driving indonesia is best flat resistant electric scooter increase or development on them efficiency front in a country that experiences regular funding. having more excuses is good for compressing the climate crisis, but it also means ruins, natural landscapes and mole battery waste. this best model could be a game changer. the actuator is placed in the center of the screw to preventing damage both from water and vibrations on rough rates. one roadside assistance being yeah, go for you. i think it's important to have a scooter that can cause various conditions the us and get a lot of open that i'm good even if it's what or flooded. uh, we don't have to worry about pushing it when it breaks down on the manufacturer. i worked with several institutions to develop the technology among them. awesome technical university in germany. it helped develop the actuators and the batteries

still in the china engine, producing all electric scooter is, is definitely the battery. but all right, and is to speed up charging or extend the range of buttons and data. yeah. so it's called the screwed to. it has a limited range of 50 kilometers, the charge and a 100 kilometers with a jewel about 3 system. the manufacturer, i have set up facilities like this one at various locations and indonesia allowing riders to charge or swap factories in order to continue that. jenny that the hopeful boom into that treat screeches also has a dock side to. yeah, you need this by play on the button. the type of battery we use contains lithium, nickel, manganese, and cobalt oxides. those are the main ingredients used in lithium batteries. but the, the nickel is the most important component which the manufacturer is ends. the

government poses the challenge of developing a recycling program without one does the danger of toxic chemicals leaking out of the battery by apollo, by the me. yeah, because i did it the ones that really be that these pollutants become a responsibility for the companies that online, the metals that a lot of the discharged into the river, the impact on the animal and plant life in the immense. and then it changes the ph leveled on the steps, the river in marine ecosystems, just as a got flowers separate here that they have. i'm not that. so i have that one that will be with organisms leaving that would be contaminated feet that potentially be dangerous for any humans. 18 them obviously. yeah. good. after that, i saw the problem is that indonesia is one of the world's largest nickel produces the country has 21000000 tons of deposits and the enormous scale of mining is harming the environment. on the end of the acceleration of electric vehicle

energy production also encourages the grunting of major nichol concessions in indonesia. nicholas the main mineral that produces electric vehicle batteries in indonesia until now and nickel, money, concessions have been granted for approximately 900000 hector's. of land in the country. all those $600000.00 heck tests are in forest areas with a speech as a climate friendly on the one hand that are comprised of nickels on the out the which is mind and then environmental the home full way, a real dilemma. still, the indonesian government is aiming to have $2000000.00 electric models on the rates by 2025, which would account for one and a half percent of the country screeches to. now another part of the world that's weighing the environmental impact of getting from a to b is a spanish this. the of parts of luna depend demik driven rise in online shopping

has led to a search and congestion of delivery funds. clock up the street now says the officials are trying to reverse the trend by tax and companies to deliver to homes . the, the amazon tax, the aim is to less than pollution, but also to encourage people to get hours again and shop locally. instead. every day, thousands of career drivers navigate the way through the streets of boss alone. keeping up with the delivery schedule means constant time pressure on traffic regulations sometimes take a backseat with even disabled parking space is considered fair game. he would sit the whole local politicians have declared war on the likes of amazon, illegal med noticed that, that it was under the online companies don't pay local jackson's of that. now you told us do a ne, create jobs in the area. yeah. going button yes. cuz i know you're gonna have to be

sending this but the, the online giant, so happy to come here, use public space and disappear again. it's still in because it's been fun though, at least not. space is a very sketch. assets and bustling the tax cash. and the through the online freight is with an annual ton of, of at least 1000000 euros. now have to pay $1.00 of the quarter percent of the revenue to the city. the market leader amazon under range of other logistics. sense of finding the move if the withdrawal is the best, the all delivery services have to pay the living regardless of their size, where which country they're based, anything else and nothing. it will make online orders more expensive in barcelona and then elsewhere guiding you electronic or what's the next step. and on a moving site, turning off of why fi in a city to prevent people from being able to go shopping on the internet and putting doesn't it the local authorities are striving to support local

retailers. even the suns and tray of districts, you'd barely know that the internet existed. a lot of residents do the shopping in the traditional way on foot. businesses that have been here for generations. armando is complaining about online retail. they accused a new competition of avoiding taxes and adding to air pollution bubbles off to those games. i mean, it's about the 15 minute to city concepts. everything being reachable from home on foot in 15 minutes means far better sustainability. i continue with this, the guy at the same time, retail stores involved the social contact somebody to see and but of course, the shop owners and we give people a sense of community and the specially on the new tax does not apply where customers collect their order themselves at one of the $1000.00. so pickup points to amazon has across barcelona. the city government, however,

once to say significantly, more of them said in modesto, is the extreme convenience of having something delivered to your home. should come in to try and get a more to escape and he didn't even see a mess. this fee is to people to get out working places kind of, i ya, coming on, the amazon and other companies effective have already challenged the tax or many other cities, all keeping a close eye on developments. after all, it wouldn't be the 1st time the boss alone has been a trend setter i'll certainly be watching that space. and that brings us to the end of this edition of may. thank you so much for watching from worst stories in the world. all the comic fine us to check out the w dot com slash business. we're also on the do you have the near future panel for me and the entire team here in berlin until next time is good. but i think the,
