name while boniface on labor cruise and joined by on 13 points at the top of the league. watching the news live from berlin. stick around because global us is coming up next. i'm really mama for watching all season by the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in, that's look at current use events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking is weekdays on d, w interest, the global economy portfolio g w business

be here's a closer look at the project to analyze the flight for market dominance, get a step with d w. business beyond the here this off the when i was a kid, things were different. well, now that the users say less unless things are different, why people in canada is out to region and literally losing the ground beneath se, se safe steps we find out west finland is planning to bury its nuclear waste. the and toxic dust when you dissolve is blowing from the ruins of tuck. he's recent tests. quite

news was celebrated miracle material, especially dose is study able to withstand heats, and corrosion cheap and easy to use. it was widely used in the construction of homes, ships and industrial sites, but especially those is offsite costs. and that gen move in to 150000 people worldwide di every year following contract rebates. and despite being banned, in many countries, specialties still found everywhere was fatal consequences. a huge cloud of dust, blankets, the city of heads high in southern techie. much of the city was devastated by an of quake in february, now and meet the rebels. another danger is emerging, asbestos. our exclusive investigation reveals the extent of the best of

contamination and has hi dw reports is from the turkish and environment departments invited an expert team from the countries chamber of environmental engineers to the region. here they collected 45 death samples at different locations. the results point to a disaster that could affect millions of people who the, anyone who's been in hobbs high is at risk of being exposed to asbestos. skita gosh, gosh, tuck, you shall store t say the amount of asbestos in the region is below dangerous levels. but according to the world health organization, a single aspect of the bible when inhaled, can lead to lung cancer. techie and around 70 other countries has banned the sale of especially those products. but its legacy is still around us because existing asbestos materials used in buildings and elsewhere before the bands are like taking

on in the aftermath of the us quake mold and 100000 buildings collapsed. many contained as best of materials. and now that parts of the dust crew fare at is an ex but from tech he's chamber of environmental engineers. he'll be helping the dw report is on the ground to collect dust samples from high tie. the 1st one will be a control sample from the cruise call. the idea is to see if causing the us quick region collect and transport task contaminated with us best us. the crew wash the cost before taking a sample. audra any stats and get the on to 200 kilometers away from heads. i where the local apple was damaged in the us. great, 7 months after the disaster, the city still resembles a will zone. the people of high tide try that best to live in normal life, but the worried about the dust. nothing did it come directly behind us as

a rebel side said, hills are loans while we're training. our lungs have begun to swell. it's having a bad effect on our physical and mental health. what are the people here are living very close to russell. we took those samples from the top of the 10s where they love that. and then we also enter the area where demolition waste is stored. and there we took various samples for as best as analysis. so you can see some of that of it's just like the residents, the work is don't use any protection from the dust. asbestos controls mesothelioma long and plural cancer or the decades exposure to constant task can also need to acute to illnesses over to fit him. and after that,

my brother got sick from the death of them. it just happened. 2 but we took him to the hospital and they gave him bloody, i'm almost done. i'm much ice cream this into. yeah. and then now it's making us, it shows it well the ones you could afford to leave. the city have less, but many have nowhere else to go. according to public health experts, thousands of children in the region on our risk of developing sorrel or lung cancer as adults 50 kilometers away on the coast of heads high. we talked to another low coat with acute symptoms. the whole family has it and my wife has it, the worst of it. the rebel right next to his shop contains all sorts of waste from electronic goods to toxic heavy metals, as well as bibles cement and insulation,

materials known to contain asbestos. almost no one came to examine us or to offer counseling, even though we live in the center of the city. we're not in villages or in the mountains. he's not the only one living next to piles of rubble across the region. demolition work is underway in the streets. activity icon, a lawyer from the head sign. lawyers association has been campaigning since the us quick happened to say for management of rubble waste that protects public health. the 2 felt ill from the task so slomo cut them over. there is a come now used for agricultural irrigation to usa. there's a high school and police headquarters nearby young for general. then there's another school content and the container city is about 50 meters away from here. it's got a brussel. yes, i'm

a breeding area for longer head turtle. it is close by the trucks. yeah. so is the b g and also a bird sanctuary, which in the stronger what are some of the question using this place as a rubble dumping area is high ran the colonial. what's the truck? yep. the crew take samples from the dump site and also from the leaves of the vegetation, nearby olives, and possibly a grown here. and once it's being harvested, local produce is transpose it full of attacking the 3 will. this is only, they never covered trucks that carry rubble with tar balance. even that would have helped to prevent dangerous and hazardous substances like as best those from contaminating surrounding us or not, and help protect public health foods that the same the same sounds all the locals say that the government has prioritized reconstruction efforts of the public health

of to 2 days of reporting on the ground with back and get the end tip, the team takes another does the sample from the top of the car. the next day, the board tre. results show that calls can carry as best of task hundreds of kilometers. the detailed lab reports prove the residential areas, soil leaves, and fruits and many neighborhoods all contaminated with us. best us. usually get us from the lab results we received or alarming, and we detected as best those and 16 out of 45 samples. the statements made by the authorities and how tie and the ministry of environment don't reflect the realities on the ground floor to the public health expert as can gen cabinets as also examine the report. the key in the, on the notes in the coming years, we may see tens of thousands of very young people die of mesothelioma related conditions. so they're going to change in order to determine how many people are

affected in the region. we need objective health monitoring studies, official statements, claiming that people are not affected, or just covering up the problem focused on you. now, he says it's spiteful the feel far as he's act fast. entering the board and then the bush. then there's measures need to be taken today, bloomfield, i think that would help because then it seems that towards the dust and smoke need to be closely monitored and eliminated. talk to then call to them. i forget it. so you can go to get, it can help them look up, must be the masks should be distributed to people and workers in the region and look almost. and they should be encouraged to use them thinking, i mean a, the little pools that need to move is equal to the areas that are most affected by dust should be identified. and the residents relocated for around the world. the

best us removal process is costly and slow that the current situation in turkey shows that in regions at risk of the us quakes. it's a matter of urgency because otherwise when disaster strikes, the consequences the deputy, the so we've arrived the minus 437 meters on the ground. we're inside the only final storage facility for spent nuclear fuel in the world. there's going to be basically no danger of within the next hundreds of thousands of years. this tunnel is deep on the ground is supposed to be the game changer for nuclear waste. there a quarter of a 1000000 tons of nuclear waste, just lying around across the globe. in some cases, leasing, talk sense into the environment. and nobody really knows exactly what to do with it yet, except for the fence. so how did they do it?

and does this mean we've sold the nuclear waste problem once and for all when i 1st heard the defense, we're building a nuclear waste deposit side. i thought it was going to be in the middle of nowhere like in the arctic circle. so no, it's actually just a 3 hour call right away from housing in a municipality of almost 10000 people cold air. which also happens to be home to europe's largest nuclear reactive municipality actually bid to the site and was selected from full possible locations. construction started in 2004. right next to the pallet on. cell is quite straightforward, doesn't that. but it's actually really remarkable that this happens. because the final disposal facility is spent, nuclear fuel has keep highly radioactive waste from leaking into the environment for a couple of 100000 years. to put that into perspective, a couple of ice ages will have come and gone in that time. that needs decades of

discussions, planning and careful selection of sites and the feet of engineering. other countries with nuclear power plants have also been looking for their own permanent storage sites. but nobody has even started construction anywhere else. whether your pro anti nuclear energy, this problem needs a solution fast because the waste is piling up and sometimes an adequate interim storage sides worldwide. but not in finland. also decades of research and construction, the sites cold and carlo case, whole and finish is about to start operating in the next few years. the project is financed by the finish nuclear power companies, which are probably owned by the finish date. we're ready to go. the trip down takes almost a quarter of an hour. so we've arrived at minus

$437.00 me cuz on the ground. yeah, definitely feels like a cave all around us is crystalline, bedrock and mixture of granite and the rock cold making a tight. and that's the 1st key to why this place was chosen to store the nuclear waste. the age of the wrong guess. almost 2000000000 years. it's a rather on fractured rather dry. you know, we don't have a lot of fond what a moments in here. i'm to your son is the head geologist at the company responsible for the facility. the whole struck needs to be on worth a, in a sense that there is no economic off fee, a sense that future generations old likes to be called from their own. but finding the right the rock is just the 1st step. because nuclear waste is unlike any other

waste, they have 3 main types, low level, intermediate, and high level waste. low level waste is usually stuff that came into contact with radioactive material, like protective equipment filters or medical waste. intermediate waste equipment used in nuclear plants or weapons production like pipes. so insulating material. this can stay radioactive for a couple of 100. yes. they are d contaminated and disposed of and low level waste sites on the oval ground. up to 99 percent of all nuclear waste falls into that category. the one percent of high level radioactive waste is the most problematic one that consists mostly of spent nuclear fuel rods, but it also includes waste from nuclear weapons production. spend prod, still contain lots of energy enough to emit heat and remain radioactive up to a 1000000 years. and that ways to sitting and cooling pools, or in dry caustics around the world. a total of over a quarter of

a 1000000 metric tons says the international atomic energy agency that's as heavy as $26.00. i full towers. and some of it is leaking radioactive materials. the best solution for handling and safely is bearing and deep on the ground and leaving it to the k for a couple of 100000 years until it isn't dangerous anymore. to prevent the radioactivity from the rods from leaking in the meantime, it needs to be in case properly in finland, the spent fuel rods are sealed into 5 sent to meet the sick and around 5 meet the high corporate canisters. they have been transported on the ground with a hoist, pulls of drilled into the bedrock along very long tunnels. the canisters are then put into the holes as in this demo, drilling a while. so deep, you can hear my echo. then the whole is filled up with bentonite play, which is also used as capital into i can absorb ground water that might sleep in

and corrode the corporate kind of stuff. ready and finally, the tunnel is back filled with the same material and sealed with a 6 me to sick concrete slab. as you can see here in this demonstration tunnel, those capsules or canisters are the most controversial part of the whole nuclear waste repository. the problem is, what happens if they've been denied laya, has defects, or as damage and ground water containing sulfide and hydrogen does reach the canister. research as have shown in multiple studies that copper could corrode, and the canisters could fail much faster. and the company in charge was calculated, possibly already in a time span of decades. research on this is ongoing and the topic is a highly debated in the scientific community. but the sounds of the finished nuclear safety authority and pals, eva, is that the uncertainty isn't so high that it would pose

a significant risk. and they stress that the kind of stuff is just one protective layer of many condo is meant to house all the future ways to finland's existing nuclear power plants. nor is it clear how future generations will be able to tell that radioactive waste is located here, or if it should be kept unlocked. but that's a question for another video. but even so, finland is way ahead of most nations. maybe because of a unique mentality one, the role in there might be with bab, correct? my big mindset, the fin finished people there as being a kind of a mutual consensus that we need to take care of the ways not to leave them to the future. it's in that race sense. there has been very little, almost ation from the society. the

summer 2023 was the hotel since records began it was also a summer of fire. a divorce, half vast areas of land worldwide were destroyed by wild fires and floods. meanwhile, in the canadian town of 2 k, at 2 o'clock on the edge of the out, take, a stealthy catastrophe is unfolding those looking to travel to the end of the world face a bumpy road. it's a 170 lonely kilometers along the dempster highway to reach took to ya. this is where the arctic ocean begins. its diva lynn pokey, our 1st big project. she can hardly believe that she landed the spot on dustin wayland team. she's the only one in the canadian british group without an academic background. and the on the end of the community is concerned about the air,

does ground stability rows in waterways. so we're always here to collect that data with the help of the researchers and the scientists everyone into as the village is referred to locally, knows dustin wayne, the canadian permafrost research or has been coming here for almost 20 years. unlock his colleagues and fly in and out to collect data. he recognized early on the importance of getting indigenous people like diva lynn on board. people that, that lived in the community like the villains, dad. you know that the knowledge that they have about the land is far, far above any of the knowledge that i have learned in my academic textbooks about processes or climate change or coastal erosion. a, a training session out on the arctic ocean temperatures stable. the scientists, they're teaching diva learned how to collect data in a way that's useful for research. yeah,

both sides stand to gain. the community has opportunities and there's also other opportunities for western scientists to want to learn and who are open book, culture and stuff. so it's really good. well, that a good team going dustin wayland takes us to, to kind of it's, it's just offshore and serve to protect the harbor from storms. and that's vital is boats leave from here to bring supplies to all the remote regions round about. but the island is shrinking by 2 meters every year. this summer, the erosion was even worse than usual. dustin warns us to be careful and to jump from one patch of grass to the next areas of deep mud live between them. the shores melting as thick layers of ice are exposed to the sun right here. this, you know, this, this area here with the premier, for us, has thought it exposes, exposes this mass of ice. and you can actually see the pure ice underneath. and as

soon as that is exposed to the air, it, it just melts, but there's lots of parts of climate change we're not seeing. and 11 big one is the release of greenhouse gases, or methinks, in into the atmosphere. so falling permafrost can, can release the decatur organic matter so maybe not to the arctic region as heating up faster than the rest of the planet. and the consequences are readily apparent. this little island, that's one kilometer long, is steadily shrinking. this is eroded back one and a bit meters and one since june end of june, beginning of july we hear this often when i was a kid, things were different. well now that the youth are saying last summer things were different. or, you know, last summer i could walk right across this bank and now it's, it's totally gone and we see this huge stuff failure here. temperatures of almost

30 degrees celsius in the arctic are no longer unheard of. locals can't remember a summer that was as hot and long as this year's residents, including many anyways, families that have lived here for generations are asking how long this can continue . no other company already lost one significant battle with climate change out of the waves crashed against her house for so long that it was no longer safe for her to live in at the entrance where it's just a little further off. so the, the side where you are there and yeah, this is where my house was. during the last year i was just worried that my windows were going to get smash because of the debris that's being smashed up against the ground. and splashing up to my house, it'll, it'll, anne a bird, can't. her cousin tried to reinforce the bank next to his property, but already his barn is no longer safe. took to you, i took,

was recently granted millions by the government to preserve the coastline. but all such solutions are only short term companies. neighbors are living on borrowed time . eventually they're going to have to be moved in, in line to it's hard to hard to fathom how and how many people are gonna see this place because of climate change. james martin and craig warren are also part of dustin way, lens team and they spend hours strolling around to it with their ground penetrating radar. it's part of their efforts to help the integrates better adjust to climate change. their radar measures the thickness of the permafrost, underneath the roads to go so that this would save the community in the long term. but there is a lot of talk about moving the community to a new site. and what we're learning about how infrastructure effects the depths,

dependent for us, could mean that construction of new facilities as a new site would be more robust. the team gap is around the kitchen table for a meeting. this was coming up diva lind. polk. yeah, has been part of the research team for a long time now. yeah, she even presents her work in international conferences from in winter when the researchers are back at their university's. she monitors the various measuring stations and collect samples here. it's good and i want it pushes me to want to further further my education and so that these could continue on and then i could like possibly. so the community that you can do these things here when you get to know, you know, who you working with as humans you, you understand what they need to go with it, what we need to get out for it. you know the outcomes to the community about comes

to the science down before saying good bye, dustin wayland takes us to see a peninsula that's a special interest to researchers. huge walls suffice shine in the evening sun up to 40 meters of disappear every year. of wayland, steam is using time lapse videos to document erosion. this was the layer of massive ice down here. so hey, i got a bit of mess advice. retracing back up to feel that we're doing something positive to, to, to gather data, to what with the locals here. and then from then i think and co produced solutions is, is everything to us. and to me as an academic and as a scientist, that's really what we strive for. the impact of climate change is actually audible . here the inwards have taught dustin wayland and his colleagues about resilience something that is naturally part of their culture. and the western scientists are

learning to follow suit the the

ground is creation high human robots. and i can definitely calculate better than not being honest friends and even better human there for the d. w.

he's got it easy to throw out say who the good thing could have done more. thank you. you just click away, find out basic document on you to really see the world of he's never seen it before. the slide now to dw evelyn charmaya. welcome to my pod cast, loved matters that i advise celebrities, influenza, and experts to talk about all plain love data. and yet today,

nothing less the stuff, all these things in more and the new season of the fuck. com. make sure to tune in wherever you get your pots costs and join the conversation. because you know, it's last matter the us, the end or font as and it's really soldier in lebanon, was wounded and lost much of his left leg funk linda, back as a member of germany's federal police while deployed in afghanistan. he witnessed awful things and narrowly escaped a bomb attack. man or taking part in the, in vic just games a very special international sporting events. that's because all the competitors had been wounded while fighting for their country.
