and i just got issues with a lot say, what could i use the up to the drugs that more dangerous than the terrorist. you can see and fight i as well. but the drugs come out of no way. they're completely invisible. any rock more and more people are using drugs with often fatal consequences the small babies. despite the shrinking population, the japanese city of akashi proves it's possible. the and less is more. can we save our planet by pulling the brakes on economic growth.

the drug use is on the rise worldwide. according to the u. n, the number of people consuming narcotics has risen by a quartet over the past decade to around 300000000 chemical drugs. in particular, have seen a shot prize in appeal among the mess um spectrum in a k, a crystal man, the it started with 5 hands and then he wanted more more crystal methamphetamine, a dangerously addictive drug, the son you're talking about, it makes me disgusted with myself it's completely different world to yours entire

should be this man who will cool saw me used to be a buddy god. in fact, out now he owns a living by selling crystal meth. marvia. i'm seeing that i'm coming to if i have 50 grands on only south 30 here and keep the restroom myself. so do you have a shot? i roll it up like this. the ball are the so that on the street alone, but it looked like twice the actual amount was in my home that the complaints don't bother me. maybe i'll hold this signal duty and they need to hit me. and once they had it, i knew they forget everything is clear on tallies growing and this poverty stricken area of fog dot is west. some of them lives for security reasons. we have to film from inside the car. the future for young people here was a bleak one, war and conflict with followed by economic collapse and inflation. so many, the only escape is drugs. experts estimate the 40 percent of the population take them with crystal mats, particularly widespread for the as to how do you of the drugs that more dangerous

than the terrorist you can see insight as well, but the drugs come out of nowhere. they've completely invisible. narcotics agents, soapy shows this videos of right by the all star these last year alone. he says there was 16800 arrests and the police seized some 3 and a half tons of narcotics. iraq has severe punishments for any drug related offenses, including long prison sentences, even products with prisons full the best thing the interior ministry has resulted to promising exemptions to those who agreed to treatment and a clinic adult. as on the other hand, insist there on enough beds for the launch numbers involved. and some of need is the female audits the, the patient who this doctor is seeing today is 25 on the crystal meth addict. or

she was introduced to the drug by a husband who was a dealer. when he was arrested 3 days ago, she decided to try rehab the next step. she says, will be to leave him. why, why you, i'm a just for 2 or 3 days on drugs will ensure an aggressive and beat me. oh man, oh really often please. i wanted to leave him a color but being an addict mentor. i couldn't go back to my family. the other guy, li, money by the, at the all the why not? the multitude my family would tell me if they knew of a buddy. it's not allowed to happen to a woman. in our culture, it's already tough if you're a man. but for women, they cut my head off actually kill you. no, yes, won't kill me. the treatment will take 14 days, once that's over, as your plans to get a new start to life. we're all no way out of the rocky capital in the

direction of the run, the source of the crystal mass, the post city of bounce around the surrounding region. all controlled by conservative, she and malicious, were told that small crystal changing hands here than anywhere else in the country and more addicts. one reason for the dramatic increase in activity is the official by on alcohol, introduced in the spring, says narcotics agent alisha. he recently joined the use task force to show through this or can hear the spread of drugs on this scale is also because of a band alcohol which are what the whole year. and because the kids had really easy access to like the crystal mesh cuts through class divisions show you introduce us to most often spend an addict since he left high school. he comes from all respected family in his mode with children

himself, which is why he wants to remain anonymous. while it's also that i kept on taking it, admit a lot of people doing the same. even government officials hired it seemed to me like a choice between death and jail. was stuff of found on the shy via social media. he helped him to break the addiction, something that only a small percentage of chief, the agent takes us along a visit to the local jail. it's terribly of a crowd, primarily with alex and the dealers. we say shocking, lee crump conditions which were not allowed to fail. husein went to college. he's been here for 2 years now, sharing a cell with hundreds of other inmates. and he insists he's innocent. i still text me on a journey. i've had this. i was a cab driver and a customer asked me to drive him to meet a friend who gave him some drugs. when we set off again, we were arrested was up and the model had the same was promised the equivalent of

$200.00 for the ride. instead, he was given 5 years and one month in jail, dealing drugs according to the inmates, 230 of them share myself, but as 2 toilets and one shower. i was told i was taught with 6 kiddos increases. it wasn't my do it belong to a friend? i was just holding onto it and. and the punishment for the 52 year old father, life imprisonment. fucked. a drug dealer sammy. why did he always feel so safe? wasn't he afraid of getting caught? those took, the government is completely broken is and that's what most of the drug dealers comes on at home with the high ranking officers. and if they tell you to carry on and keep dealing with, you know, you're ok. the were unable to verify his claims,

but what we can say, i'm let dealers, doctors and addicts agree. he's not the country has a new devastating bottle on his hands. the depends bus right, continues to fool knows to you. the population shrank substantially 580-0002 the total of a 125000000 people. that's the biggest drop ever recorded in the country. on top of that, japan has an aging population. so what's beyond the bus, right? we headed to a coffee to find out more the

it might not be music to everyone's hands, but they shone a house and live in a place another day of happy may him in this multi story office building. the far as he's in a kashi, decided to keep one flaw for themselves and then gave free reign to the younger generation. deanna and to kalki, so tiny, a big funds of this centrally located family facility. they moved west to the modestly sized city from tokyo and have since have 2 children. so they don't miss the capital. cannot see so no, it's really easy to get talking to people and swap information. whole coke on akashi is a place that makes you feel totally at home, up the whole new kinds of light is giving a call. she made a concerted effort to attract about family as the architect of those kinds was for

my master's. ah, who is the man to play and he likes a bit of time for marie himself. what was originally planned as office space is now also a big place them for state juniors because we turned it into a no fuss environment with the families to spend time to school. she actually has a nursing room and stroller parking goes so good because she is now a city for children. with this being the most visible example of how much, you know, the entire city has changed. much of the inside of costs because of a cornerstone of the new policy is day nursery, school and kindergarten offering off to the 2nd child plus the city covers all health care costs for the youngsters. and there's no shortage of them in kashi to go see compared to tokyo and other cities in japan, children here have a lot more time and opportunity for playing with kids in the same age. and they

really love it. and the 3 year old leone is in his element, and to ensure that he in the little pals are in safe hands, the city provides a sufficient number of qualified karen's in japan. like in many other places. it's not the best paid profession. but here i think given assistance with finding an apartment and in advance for the rent and stuff you commit to staying in the city for longer pay more for parents, that's the added bonus. but diapers, the delivered free to that do the because she's both rates is rising again. that in general, japan faces a growing crisis. there are few of babies. and in the meantime, few young women too, were such as on show that things can be turned around to. one major reason for the

dramatic population decline is the cost of child care, which is why the cultural thursdays decided to take action. it was there any head that starting a family became financially viable for the stuff that needs. that dream they say would not have been an option in tokyo. usually on a sunday and her husband both working parents, the 2 in comes together with the low cost of living or winning combination here. they can afford to rent an entire house. all of these attractive conditions played a part in this dancing a family. having kids would have been practically, i'm thinkable in the big city what everything costs a lot of money. i cause she's family friendly policies. are a game changer for many young couples or perhaps will even have a 3rd child. it's possible here. we're also under less emotional pressure to think about it because she is now home to children who might not have been born in other

parts of the country. the initiator of the program, she's all who is a me, enjoys many celebrity spaces, not just because of his family policies cuz i'm going to associate as a result of our actions. families are spending more money locally. that means the boost for the regional economy. and the revival of shopping string. so they, so there's an increase in the tax revenues to the investing in children, and it's help to improve the economy here. yep. okay. is that local parents and residents in general? appreciate a call she's fluids thinking vision. while elsewhere in japan, children are becoming rarer, couldn't you know much, and i think it's a whole country, but to move in the same direction as our city. it would benefit greatly and i was looking at about the growing number and this is

all following because usually they might not all have such an lively mass. but that is a growing desire to see japan assume a more family friendly to the this week on global teen comes from south africa. the, my name is c a and i live in. so it's a township in johannesburg. and so it's always mostly known for a lot of historic people

there's a whole lot of stuff that i would love to do. i would actually love to join the agency and be part of the african national congress. i'd also like to open that very quickly with the elliptical to parents because of the sits of love. i'm a very romantic person and then hopefully to move uh, maybe one the proposal my future life on the apple tower in pad is the a lot of things make me happy. seeing my family happy makes me happy. seeing my niece and my nephew a week and i'm going to school in the morning and then bring us to visit other children, makes me happy. i loved one of my for me, just seeing as to get everything because people, you know, especially with people, you don't get time suspended to family and they say you don't realize what you're

happened to this going. so i'm, i'm giving them the flowers, all distilled here. the, the biggest headings is a phrase every day. we probably have to be waking up in the morning, getting ready and getting to the scope and time would be to be the settings. okay. so if it did get into the plus the one time, because most of the time, imagine you choosing the best. so my passion is fashion, i'm a design, i make codes, you know, with that being said, i'm a design i'm, i me close with no seeing machine, but it only these 2 hands, these 2 hands in the needle, the

kind of changes a big problem. so difficult a big problem and when and when it does happen, it actually who is the lives of millions and millions of people, because millions and millions of people get you to lose their homes meetings and meet new people, get their homes flooded with the information in their home, such as their identification and passports and says it is it's, it's a tragedy in the head, some many people out on the road. the booming economy is typically seen as a good thing. roast creates, jobs raises the stance of living and boost consumption. despite coming crises, the global economy continues to expand this use as the c d slice re percent next

year by almost the same again. but consumerism is destroying the planet. so is it time to give it a lot? having more has given us a lot of comfort and a lot of choice. so it's a pretty big price tag, like more carbon emissions, more resource depletion, more pollution, our addiction to making and consuming more stuff is exhausting the planet. everyone's talking about avoiding a climate catastrophe. but it's switching to renewable energy and buying electric cars while keeping the status quote. really going to help a growing number of people say no, they want us to fundamentally change the way we run our economies. and with that, our lives, some call it the growth for decades, countries have been judged by the growth of their g, d p. that's gross domestic product. the more goods and services produced, the higher the g, d p, the cooler the country to keep having ged, be great,

accumulating you also need to keep having more material stuff extracting and going through the economy. this is not sustainable on on ups. on it was, you know, a finite amount of resources. so this is where the idea of the growth comes in. the term, the growth is credited onto the gourds, an austrian french social philosopher, who in 1972 question whether it was a good idea to constantly make more stuff. shortly after academics at the massachusetts institute of technology, publish a report called the limits of growth. this rigorous forecast concluded that them less growth was curved, civilization would collapse by 2070 to suffice to say it didn't go down. well, the academic journal nature even called it a width of doomsday. d growth talks starting to crop up again. and the 2000 once data began to show just how it reversed wimbley, we were harming the planet. a recent paper in nature. yes, the one who puts the gross back in the seventy's suggested that it should be widely

and thoroughly considered. and the term has now made its way into the most recent, i pcc report on how to stay below 1.5 degrees celsius. once the growth approach that has been widely considered is decoupling where you get to maintain economic growth while reducing carbon emissions. while i live in the u. k, it's very proud of itself because it claims that it's managed to successfully de compromise its economy while g d p. i mean, it's not doing well, but g d p is, is growing slowly while our mission is appeared to be going down. surprisingly, especially countries with advanced economies have been able to do it. for example, by shifting towards renewable energy sources like denmark, which reduced its consumption based emissions by 35 percent between $22019.00. well growing the g d p per capita by 16 percent. germany reduced it's carbon emissions per capita by 24 percent in the same timeframe while growing 26 percent. and even the united states did the same. which sounds great and definitely as

a 1st step. but the problem is that the coupling is only concerned about c o 2. we live in many ecological crises, not just one is not just an issue of fossil fuel emissions. so here if we just say was about the compensation only, you're missing ecological the great ation. biodiversity last, the u. k. has some of the worst by the rest of any country in the world. never mind the, he just doesn't solve that problem. what next? the problem is even those who support with the growth stands for thinks the word itself is problem. attic. why don't like the term? the growth is it. it has a negative feel to ethic. she's thing is shrinking material, the material inputs into economic activity. the growth sound scary, like it wants people to return to the dark ages. but it actually us means scaling down the least sustainable industries, like mass produced meat and dairy fast fashion car and aviation manufacturing,

or ensuring that the things we rely on refrigerators, phones, washing machines, have a longer shelf life repairing. instead of replacing something the moment it stops working. so it's not just about stopping growth, but about increasing growth and sectors that benefit society as a whole. like creating green jobs, training workers, uninstalling, renewable energy, insulating buildings, and regenerating eco systems, and investing and public transportation and services. what does that just wishful thinking? might this new approach to growth actually make life worse for us? this is a crux of the growth debate. would unravel the advances humans have made many facets of modern life, like living longer and lower rates of child mortality are associated with high g d, p. among other factors. economists that are in favor of the current system, say that more immediately the gross could mean widespread job loss, mortgage default and business closures. that it would force us all into

a permanent recession per tailing, research and innovation. the thing is we need to develop green and more efficient technologies. the problem is that active di growth hasn't happened anywhere yet. meaning that nobody knows whether that what happens, how do you address the creation of a world where rich countries don't effectively slammed the doors by themselves and say, you know, we're gonna, we're going to diminish our growth of that. but, you know, we're not gonna let you catch up to as to where we are. and that is a challenge. and a lot of the solutions around that involved in a large scale redistribution of wealth resources between countries that, that might be possible in a perfect world. but in the real world, it is very politically challenging. one suggestion by the grocer's is that on payable debts held by low and middle income countries should be cancelled so that they can focus their spending on public services. the idea is to even the playing field casings for the global south, our technology transfer. so, you know,

to leapfrog dirty technologies to get the, the, you know, sort of latest generation or renewable technologies to global. so countries for their energy needs number to finance, corporate finance to make that possible and also to finance other poverty alleviation. and so for supporters say that through economic growth, the needs of more people could actually be served. still, we seem to perceive increasing g d p as a sign that we're winning. that however you frame it, giving it up for the sake of our future on this plan, it sounds to most people like we're asking them to start losing. so is the answer to deliberately slow down economic growth. you won't find many governments willing to do that. moving away from ttp, for example, to metrics that value, you know, human impact across what pride you have dimensions, you know, there's a human development index you and provides is a good example of that. you know, there's been some experimentation with like the country baton. and it's gross

happiness index that they've talked a lot about and, and so there might be ways to redefine these metrics of success that would make it more palatable for, for politicians to embrace things that don't necessarily increase gd p, but increase the average wellbeing of people in a, in a way that, you know, is less resource intensive or destructive. another example is would former new zealand prime minister just in the order and didn't 2019, when she announced national budget that prioritize citizen wellbeing, unhappiness over g d. p. an economic growth under the budget, all news funding was required to advance government priorities like improving mental health, reducing child poverty, and addressing the any qualities faced by its indigenous population. d, groceries and vision, an economy driven by alternative principles, the wage warranty grace is the we need to imagine a different feature, a new ecological,
