the on the ground investigations are being tendered by the police. the 60 d w. these places in europe are smash, record step into a little bit venture. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of us record breaking site on google back youtube and now also in book form. the raw materials are essential, costly and limited supply. one metal that's just about everywhere copper is used in

power cables and electronics for the high electrical and thermal conductivity. since it doesn't rust, it's ideal for water pipe and is used in pro. we've been, she's making. copper has been used with thousands of years. a several archaeological excavations have shown it has been used to make some of the world's most well known landmarks like the statue of liberty and an entire paris metro station where it is cop are come from. and what does it take to extract it? will answer that in this edition of made dw business magazine. and here are the other resources we're looking at. nuclear energy, controversial get popular in poland, water fighting shortages with creativity and spices, or trend things, momentum to pundents in belgium. welcome to the show. the copper is

vital to the energy transition and digitalization and telecommunications electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar energy plants securing this metal in europe is increasingly important. so while major produces china and russia are no longer dependable suppliers, europe is looking elsewhere, including sweden. that's going to dave in country has the continents largest corporate deposits. and at the i take mine, guntee, excavators and trucks are used to extract the metal. a reporter question for celsius, visited europe's largest copper mines. clark, andrew and trucks are at work in europe's largest open pit copper mines, located in northern sweden. oversized excavators, load them up, the mine is hundreds of meters deep. and the rock ends up in the world's largest stone mills, which extract copper to supply europe's high tech industries. but can it be done in

an environmentally friendly way? she drives one of the biggest trucks in the world, a caterpillar $795.00 has q in europe such as compromise and run by the company. both of the vehicle is as big as a house, 8 meters tall tag along with her to load up some rocks. sophie visited them, drives through the page in this 3400 horsepower vehicle. so how does one actually get a driver's license for one of these massive trucks? you have to be uh, at least 21 years old. your drivers license for a car for 3 years. and that you, uh, sometimes shift is 8 hours the pass down into the

month is inside here. so we have to waving is required so that other drivers can see that your away can doing fine. the truck transport $600.00 tons of rock per trip and breaking times are long. i think it's maybe i don't know, reaction time, rates time bars because this is a big truck and it depends on how we load the roads. how are they? is it snowy, is it to be loaded? now the world's largest excavator vehicle gets into position the p. n. h. excavator . 4100. c 10. 1 load carry 60 to 80 tons of rock. it has 2 motors and can even be operated electrically. massive

explosions are common place occurrence here every month. new layers of stone are being loose and for transporting the curve, the routes that used to be them no longer exist. and that even gets on sophie's nerves, sometimes it when you wait till you come back, it's not sure that you will find your way around here because it always, always change your belt stretch for miles. transporting the copper rich rock to the stone mill. it's also the world's largest of its kind. they use the same amount of energy as some cities. it makes me feel very small. the rock is put in water basins, where it is chemically processed to separate the cover from other substances. in

the end, you're that with this concentrated copper mixture engineer monkey, selena works in the preparation hall and is one of the people in charge of the refining process. another factory covers separated from the mixtures and, you know, sit down apart from small amounts of silver and gold. more than 99 percent of the production consists of copper factories consume massive amounts of energy plus the electricity they're using comes from 100 percent renewable sources, such as from this nearby hydro electric plant. that has improved the mines. carbon footprint in the past 2 years, and that's important to the industries customers to the

customer, the demand, uh, i will say uh, a cup. the product that test has low call the footprint and also good quality of the fortune i to have the mailer. hi, i own the hydro power election to here, sophie and her colleagues driving 3 shift j and tonight, all year round. over half of this 60 drivers here are women business. usually something that people think is a man's job or something that women can do it too. so why was it like oh, i think it's attractive because it's fun. now it's time to fill up the fuel tanks with over $70000.00 leaders of diesel. eats as much as the heating oil needed by one house over a year. the truck and go for 32 hours per tank load. then it's also set to

change less diesel and more renewables for truck isn't electric hybrid with one diesel engine and one electric motor. the. so now we're going to connect to the trucks, drive on renewable energy coming from the electric cables above them, the by 2030. all the trucks in service will be electric, then the company will marketed as green. copper, virtually c o. 2 free and powered by 100 percent renewables. poland wants to reduce this dependence on fossil fuels, which is still a large chunk of the countries energy mix. the government is investing heavily in

nuclear energy to change that. it plans to build to a large nuclear power plants and construction for one of them is set to begin next year. but well, many in poland, support and nuclear energy. not everyone is happy about the site. the government has chosen for one power plant. a reporter montague is in sco was there of switching from cold to the action. that's the cost that poland is taking today. 70 percent of poems energy mix comes from domestic t mind. mcknight, cold, the coal fired react to it. bad. how tough is your snow? just admit to risk greenhouse gases, the plant nuclear reactor is meant to be part of the solution and then get to get back to by 204075 percent of our energy mixture consist of non fossil fuel sources. dr. has been a good half of that should come from renewable energy sources and

a quarter will be from nuclear energy. only 25 percent will be from gas and co justin proposals. this guys will ease the thing last by $24036.00 units with a total capacity of $6.00 to $9.00 gigawatts will be built at 2 locations. the 1st site has already been chosen directly on the baltic. sea viruses. what tony's face, as far as i can tell, this location is conceivably the worst place for a nuclear power plant and to because of all the nature here is the chief level. in general, i'm not opposed to building nuclear rafters, but this location is a terrible choice if you have a problem. by 20, says you for the 1st react to will go online right here at the beach. the opposition is growing. 19

e. p activists want to stop the construction the group is organizing protests and public forums when other residents in the area, the an excellent and composing a tree bush of which moved here 3 years ago and went out some of the cottages. then not just against nuclear power, they have other concerns to the chips is who if they build a nuclear power plant here, this area will be a construction site for 20 years. but look at that will kill tourism in the area. agriculture, clean a and hardly any industry. that's what makes this community on the coast. so attractive, perfect conditions for the tourist industry. katara, she knows a hi. david has been running a small hotel. he, if assess, he is,

she's against the plans for a nuclear power plants probably will not concentrate on renewable energy sources like foldable tags out, wind and hydrogen. awesome nuclear energy is all technology. i st. bennett from poland. it's a beautiful country here. and we can really use all of that nature gives us lots of di in that pulled up so that you can nominate as a way these ruins from the eighty's was supposed to be payments 1st, nuclear power plants, and then the 10 level does of destruction on the plans described now opponents government to starting a new pay our offensive grow. you finished your project. oh, nuclear power plant. i just have to finish the reactor, but i'll do that in school activities. same as the reactors. the most important part is that's where nuclear vision takes place, and that creates a huge amount of energy at the full 1000000 euro pro nuclear campaign comprises posters, radio ads on tv commercials. now 86 percent of opponents population is full. the

government's plans and the post because that's great. we should have nuclear power . it's the cleanest form of energy besides the sun on that a couple days or some other layer power is the best solution in poland. we don't have any other energy sources as a research project. we should wait because we don't have a train workforce to run it. yeah. but it's a good source of energy that i'm right. i'm all for building nuclear power plants in poland. it's a good transitional solution to renewables such up to a 1000 years. unfortunately, we have to have nuclear energy to some of our tests. the produce government is planning small modular problems. at 7 locations, they will be close to industrial centers to provide them with power for the growing energy needs. as well as in largest cities like more solar and crack of the responses in pennsylvania,

there's growing interest in the industry for small modular reactors that provide steady emissions, free energy on your uh, malware. uh will do. i think they'll provide a few 100 megawatts that keep locals and industry will benefit from it the most to the most of its practice to you, then them to move the key. and then the big reason, the polls to at least support nuclear energy is that many feel it's the only way of quickly achieving a c, o 2 free energy transition. water is an increasing leaky scares resource in many parts of the world. that's why we're seeing many innovative solutions to talk with shortages, most of which are also being adapted to the needs of various populations across the world. and one would all have been tried and tested. i'm sure you'll be left inspired by the innovation and the next report. let's take a look. he has exacerbated an ongoing crisis and is us water, gas, city,

water salted, has become a never ending issue with an approaching global will also causes the liquid, fresh water is not the future problem. half of the global population experience is what the scarcity of doing, at least some parts of the over consumption. he thinks, splendid and bad, what management of training all ground water, rivers and lakes, was white by the middle of the century. every 2nd country was struggling with limited access to water. to tech of this problem. we need to manage all want to better. we need to reuse it and figure out ways to use less of it. but that alone may not be enough. scientists think that we need to look beyond use it. lots of sources like rain, full snowfall river run of around 4 to frozen ice seats in the arctic. stone is 70 percent of all fresh water resources. globally, thousands of square kilometres of ice breaks falls as ice books every year at the males into the ocean. fresh water that is wasted duty such has demonstrated that

these. busy about unity does support potential chart bringing water from the northern hemisphere via defendant water to those 80 yards via the need this month. so it can be as easily scientist at the united nations university and also have to both unconventional water resources from a technological point of view. i spoke to already told today ships from the oil and gas industry up pulling small chunks away from drilling platforms to provide a city like cape town with fresh water for roughly 10 weeks. we'd need something a lot bigger than ice mountain weight around a 125000000 tons. in comparison, a large cargo vessel weighs around 200000 tons. and instead of pulling it just a few 100 meters, it would have to be checked thousands of kilometers. it's

a huge fetes that's computer simulations from 2011. have shown that this is possible. well, theoretically, it's still a long way from luxury 3 d animation to reality one, emerald, to company the national advisor of euro s pets and to the technology to eventually put it off. but they select the funding to start the pilot the face for now the i spoke id is proving too big a fee to solve today's problems. so let's look to something lights up, something that can be found pretty much everywhere, like there. you know, how in the morning everything is covered with a small droplets. guess what? these, whether you for executive council fob committee team, the becomes liquid when it cools down. that's why i called glass of beer. this wet on the outside, even though no this spilled over in nature. this usually happens in the evening and at night when the temperature is dropped and it's possible to take advantage of this phenomenon and have as this humidity. so fog harvest team has been practiced

by indigenous people on virtually every confident this is rebecca funnel. she's a consultant and research and one of the most successful fuck harvesting operations globally. you've got some kind of material. this one's nice and 3 d 2 got a lot of physical surface for the water to get stuck on. and then as far as passes through, it's just the cloud. you can kind of see the spray coming through in front of the other, bigger net. and then it gets caught on this not put into practice. it looks like this on the edge of the semi area. i bump from region to morocco. there's very little rain. but for 6 months, a sick folk hangs over the region. and this fog passes $2700.00 square made use of mesh which makes it the largest for canvassing operation in the was the for condensers and trips into large underground deposits from where it is distributed via pipes to people's homes. the nets collected on 35000 feet is of water every day,

which fulfills the needs of more than 1000 people. and it's even used to what the crops today, the big folk harvesting operations and cheating morocco gonna. they would try a seal in south africa. but the potential is much bigger, less suitable sites, almost everywhere. a 40 square meter on that. the deal is about $200.00 pages, but they costs roughly $1.00 was in the $500.00. but it says the communities that would benefit the most from this particular technology are also those who were kind of most marginalized within countries. so getting the attention there and the kind of start up capital where it needs to be is an uphill battle. although capital is needed for ca, this thing is fairly cheap and scalable and a great solution for people living in remote areas. but it's not an option for big cities. there's simply not enough bulk and cities need more water than that's can catch all up solution does not seem very crazy at 1st. but what's crazy is the amount of water we could safe by implementing it. leaking pipes are the reason we

lose nearly 30 percent of all fresh water globally. that's a staggering 346000000000 leaders a day. to put that in perspective, that's 30 times small than german households consume per day, or more than $2000000000.00 beth tops a yeah. perfectly good water. we could use to drink, wash, clean, grow food. that's just being wasted. like sun quoted me, the full space. so will basically promise that was the time this is lauren guy. he co founded the tech stuff. a sterile plum us is a bit of phenomena statements us day about tricks, water leaks from space. they make satellite images with the help of microwaves. the microwaves are reflected differently depending on which medium they hit full space, we can get with him to see feet underneath the outside, into the soil, into the pipes the am. so i'll go things actually gain linking what we can say form

space, even the water on this bottom for like for example, based on that, that was from rain or something else. they're looking for the composition of the water. if it's drinking water, they assume it's the leak and mostly the right the result. so take this, every adult on this met, for example, is a leak. and here to at least of over a 120 meters per minute detected. improper, easily employed in bangkok or in chinese cities, estero sells those maps to utilities globally. so they know where to fix makes and save money. locating leaks is only the 1st step in a long process. fixing one the, my trip new ones, because it can affect the pressure within the pipe, improving and renewing pipes and infrastructure is key to saving water. and then every $40000000000.00 that, that going down the drain globally here on is here. how do you like your food? i like mine spicy and apparently i'm part of

a global trend. the demand for spices is booming. the global spice market is projected to grow 37 percent this year, making it worth a whopping $44000000000.00 euros. and the trend is expected to continue over the coming years. spices can be as expensive as cards, vanilla cost 2000 euros per kilo, and stuff. one is even costly or 14000 euros a kilo, but nothing compares to i g type i. p. type a peruvian surely that sells for 24000 euros. a kilo beast outgoing prices on scaring off customers not great in marble runs but a treat for the eyes and the tongue spices on the market. this booming and thousands of new companies that's profiting like poxel

heinrich phones. it's top selling blend goes well with german bread. that's a little something to spice, some feet, otherwise land taste, butter. as it uh, boom is i think we're seeing a boom because of the movement towards healthy your home, cooking money on the bus. there are a few other factors like the trends towards vegetarian food. one tends and somebody who doesn't. if you budgetary knows, often require more spices, different spices involve unbelievable magazine. people are also traveling more so there's more global trade, more personal exchanges between people. and that means the way we eat is becoming more diverse. chris, you've had a few said to go to start up is located in the old warehouse district of hamburg. the german fort city is the world's 3rd most important trading center for spices

after singapore and new york. these young spice farmers from uganda are visiting hamburg their association, sent them here to get to know their marcus better. so are they also benefiting from the boon hub? see because i needs this kid a. yeah, i, i know if i stayed after then the price is would be much more because now, so based on demand subsidized, if you've got notes up right too much of it, you kinda know how much more prices most of this size is growing in the world come from small farmers like this one in 10 sonia. he's joined horses with other farmers to be able to sell his clothes for higher prices. going it alone usually means having middleman dictate the price is true craftsmanship for a new spice blend at another industry. new comer, in hamburg,

oriental spices like human are being added since they are especially popular right now. the ingredients come from farmers and developing countries who are paid fairly . that's part of the concept. so home, you know, kind of as high as, who have a direct connection to the plantation on the farm. is that before placing an order, i take time to consider. what's the philosophy on how important is it to them to maintain a fast supply chain from paying the west coast all the way to how the actual product is growing? i know how to feel the town on this. this will be to expose the product. her company also offers tastings that are attracting premium customers, mostly young people who are willing to pay 18 year olds for a blend and are always on the lookout for something new. hot stuff, and it and cheap. that brings us to the end of today's edition of made. thank you so much for watching. and to join us again next time until then from me and the

entire team here in berlin is good bye. take care. the or the,

this environmental disaster sends a queue message, fish, or once again, dime in the older moines more congress is a washing up on the banks of the river and the german polish deposit, who caused williams from polish mines, but on the ground investigations are being injured by the police,

13 d, w. and to the conflict with tim sebastian america expected to stay down to the clinton was finally engaging in the long delay the whole slide in us china relations. the main sticking point is to try one. i guess you, as i say is the time when is foreign minister joseph? does the islands live on the conflict? so 90 minutes on dw the on to the f b i c i a and most of has been on him for 20 years. nissan b a k, a. com is considered the most dangerous i am we fund way we sort of

as we say that the poster child for the, the profession problem assigned. and then it is said, no one has ever seen a thrown in the side of the secret fugitive right now. absolutely nothing is right here. the where? who is covering the wanted stats june 29th on dw the

the this is dw news live from berlin. the race against time to find a missing sub search teams are intensifying their efforts, but oxygen will soon run out for the 5 people on board. also coming up in the in prime minister and the right.
