4:31 pm
older river last summer. millions of dead fish were found floating on the border river between germany and poland. tons of cartridges which freed from the water. the high temperatures and low water levels caused an explosion of gold, l. j, which is toxic for freshwater fish. and once again, dead fish are piling up in the older river and the hunt for the causes on which to focus on areas in south western poland. scientists have detected extremely high levels of salt in the rivers. tributaries. salt promotes the growth of the toxic golden algae. environmental lists aren't the only ones alarmed by the threat of a new ecological disaster. free shot gab ron is a passionate fisher. but he's beginning to think his days of catching perch pipe or xander in the order are over. it seems to be happening again.
4:32 pm
fish are dying off in the ohio river. the border between poland and germany. we see them near floodgates. tributaries on the polar side are also effected with recent reports of hundreds of kilos of dead fish killed by golden l g resort government grew up along the old plane on the river banks. he's going fishing there since childhood days. those days are over so that you know, and this is where i learned to fish where i grew up so that, that now this is like an assault on my memories, a lot more exponent. in the summer of 2020 to some 400 tons of fish. about half of all fish tanks in the order and its tributaries were found dead . analysts plains high solidity and the river water. the weird it, all the salt come from coal mines in the region are the prime suspects. dumping
4:33 pm
highly sailing wastewater into the rivers green piece asked chemistry professor electric pays their skate to investigate. when he tried to collect water samples near one of the mines, police and security personnel showed up on there were heated discussions which of his investigation was clearly on. wanted to finance mobile, who are you anyway? we'll just jump on you. maybe you could introduce yourself. oh, so you don't want to, then you know what to me and you're not even here helping you pull the phone, you're fine, you're not getting your muscle professor opposed to ask you and his team are focusing on the limber coal mine. they take water samples from the club, meets on a tributary of the odor. waste water from the plant has already mixed with the river water here. a positive skis. why it's helps with the analysis. it shows
4:34 pm
a salt content 6 times higher than normal to what unit of course is a ok. you're also not sort of the new alternative but not in a lot of amounts. however, they are in very big amounts in waste. what those from mines like mine, holland book, and so we can, i will make another measurements of the ways to work of it. so they need to itself professor post, there's key, finds the mines discharge plan. this is where the waste water flows into the river day after day, almost continuously. the highest solidity creates ideal conditions for goals analogy. it normally thrives only in sea water and it's lisa to fresh water fish. the green peace activists measured alarmingly high salinity levels right here by the coal mines. so as you can see,
4:35 pm
this is 18 times more then water in coordinate sites. so for showed the problem of selling you see will, will increase intensity because the water levels are much smaller in the summer time, especially when that are high temperatures. because water as operates salt and does not. when contacted, the mine management denied any responsibility for the fish styles, insisting they observe all the legal requirements for waste water disposal, polish industries dump waste into the odor and its tributaries through over 10000 discharge pipes. and they do so quite legally. pullman's limits for salt in waste water or barely even defined. as we inquire about the polish environment ministry's plans to reduce salinity and the rivers. the emails response consisted of
4:36 pm
general information on a water pollution control and, and assurance that preventing such disasters and future had absolute priority and not a word about salt contamination reactions from the people who live on the order assembled in vigorous in books, lots somewhere outraged at the official response, while others haven't heard of the recent pay style. 40 to check. these are political reasons. somebody doesn't want to name a code for it up to, and that's all. it's not true that the fish in the order of are healthy, you know, also be susie mama is personally we don't have that much contact with the water. we don't go fishing. so we're not very interested in the issue. and some of them with each new report of dead fish in the older resort. god wrong. who once loved to go fishing, lose this hope that anything will get better that you is that will find the executive . i have lost my confidence in this river. besides that,
4:37 pm
i don't trust this river bit. i don't see any point in going fishing in this polluted water. is that the theme was up, it has the language it in autumn. poland will be holding elections and make it a new government. it's a ray of hope for many along the odor. would rather not just sit back and watch the fish die. finding an affordable home in london these days can feel like winning the lottery. britain's capital is one of the most expensive cities to rent in the world. the market is so competitive that people often have to show a big box for small spaces. people like louise humphrey are experiencing the housing crisis 1st had, after a long search, she finally found an apartment to rent. but peace of mind is proving elusive with both her wallet and her nerves strained a home sweet home luis humphrey never thought she'd be so happy to live. in a one bedroom apartment,
4:38 pm
she and her boyfriend jo paid the equivalent of $1600.00 euros rent before utilities for their 45 square meter flat. they lived far from the center of london . both have university degrees and good jobs and are in their early thirties. they found this apartment after 2 months of flat hunting. they be dozens of places and sometimes even paid for viewings. they were up against hundreds of other flat hunters. one of the places that i viewed when i was looking didn't even have a real kitchen. you essentially opened a cupboard and there was like a stink a microwave. and it's, you know, and i just thought, oh my god, like for sure lives like this. i guess that's one reason why 33 year olds, louise isn't too fussy about the state of her flat. their boiler was fixed after 2 months, but they still only have lukewarm water. the refrigerator is also broken, but the landlord is nowhere to be found. louise prefers it that way. otherwise the
4:39 pm
landlord might consider raising the rent the building is converted office block. so in the winter time, the damp and the mold see, and the, i mean there's always down to mold and british properties. i've never lived in a rental accommodation yet, but didn't have them put in the old, but literally you'd wake up and they'd be like rivers running down the windows. and you'd clean the mould away with special spray and a couple of days later it would have creeps back up the wall again. at least they don't have to move back in with their parents. throat england, almost 4000000 adults live with their parents. that's 700000 more than a decade ago. misguided policies cost the housing crisis gripping london and the rest of the country says urban planning expert. and i mentioned 30 years ago,
4:40 pm
social housing construction was virtually abolished. millions of affordable social housing units were sold off since then. the free market has dictated rents, which are rising dramatically. people in london is spending on average move and 60 percent of fat income on the housing costs. according to research, if you spend holding 30 percent of your income on housing that causes mental health problems. so there is no doubt that we are in a terrible situation with housing in london and in the u. k. more widely in the u. k. many believe the market will sorted out. plenty of room is the dental properties are going up like that, sold off plan before they've even being built. and that's sold in a foreign property investment fads around the world rather than to london. those
4:41 pm
prices which fall exceed, uh, well, uh, the majority of, of, of the, this could, a for numerous london homes are empty, serving merely, its financial investments are speculative purchased, as mentioned, says the problem can only be tackled with major political interventions in the housing market with solutions like a wrench cap, setting up a comprehensive social housing program, and bottling speculators and greedy landlords. lin pearman fell victim to one of them. now she is homeless and lives in a camper van, which he's parked in margate on the coast, 2 hours drive from london. after being kicked out of her apartment when sold all her valuables and bought this span. yeah, i just don't want to give it a guy. that's what i'm going to lose. i couldn't say i would get you couldn't even get a room for the money to i was allowed and to take the rest of my pension with me.
4:42 pm
no, it's just not be surviving, especially with the cost of living going out with the electric, the gas and with the bills lost her flat. when her rent increased from 500 to 820 years at the time she was working, it's a fitness coach and caring for a mother suffering from dementia. today, her pension is enough to pay for petrol. she's got 12 years a day for food and take showers and friends, homes, and chairs, her experience on tick tock where she's got over 55000 followers. still she remains optimistic, loading, but we realized specialists for tablets and angry tests. and i think i always see a pulse of tiffany and that it might be negative. and i think, you know, the way i feel right now, i don't know what you know. it's about you 6 months time when i'm freezing. lynn says her story borders on the romantic or even kitch, but for young people she thinks it's much harder. i'll just as long as i can. and
4:43 pm
no one knows around the corner that i keep calm and carry on model through until winter, when it gets cold. louise and joe calculated what it would cost to buy a home. there's no way they could afford it. the government's breakfast, fiscal policy has driven off interest rates on loans over the past year. no wonder louise says that the young voters don't care for the conservatives. i would love to leave the country. hey i, i study, i think is that already i lived in systems. i study there for 2 years. i think one of my biggest regrets is not working harder at the time to try and get a job in switzerland because then i, then when is before brags, i'm renting and buying homes. it's getting more expensive all the time in the u. k . so much so it could become the privilege of the rich but it's this lack of affordable housing that might sweep the conservative government out of office next year. the from a housing shortage to
4:44 pm
a labor shortage in romania where hundreds of thousands have left the country since 2007. when romania joined the european union, the lower of higher wages in western europe, has led to a huge gap in the workforce. the construction industry, hospitals and hotels are all feeling the pinch of person now, including in the city of con stanza. for nikolai, because our hotel owner, the answer lies in recruiting migrant workers from asia. it's an idea of supported by the government in bucharest. but for many of those arriving from overseas romania is simply a gateway to a better life in europe. do you have problems with a swimming pool? time is scarce, legal. i book of our own several hotels. everything must be ready before the summer guests arrive. he's biggest headache, lack of workers, move with them, but i'm 2 daughters, 3 most doing the show. nothing works without 4 in burke. so just didn't i myself

4:46 pm
india, pakistan. there was waiting here in front of the 1st integration office that's paid up to 6000 euros to jump placement agencies in their home country to legally immigrate to romania. they have visa us, but they are problems with the residents permit the t or c car. so much in the you might use only 3 months with that spike and need the see cars the immigration office is over whelmed by the government as new strategy. romania wants to grant 100000 brook permits for non you citizens this year. in 2017 romania gave out a mere $5500.00 permits for romanian employers like nikolai, the process is slow. he so tally kitchen is still under stem.
