the junkie she's on the rise worldwide. according to the un, the number of people consuming narcotics has risen by a quartet over the past decade to around 300000000 chemical drugs. in particular, i have seen a shop prize in appeal among the mess um spectrum in a k, a crystal man, the it started with 5 hits, 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 a completely different world to yours,

entire should be this man who will cool, saw me, used to be a party, got him backed out. now he owns a living by setting crystal meth might be a crime scene 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. many a hold of this signal duty and they need to hit my desk and then once they had it, i knew they forget everything is clear on tallies growing and this poverty stricken area of baghdad is west. some of them lives for security reasons. we have to film from inside the car. the future of the young people here was a bleak, one, war and conflict with followed by economic collapse and installation. so many, the only escape is drugs. experts estimate of 40 percent of the population take them with crystal met, particularly widespread for the as to how do you of the drugs that more dangerous

than the terrorist you can see and fight as well. but the drugs come out of no way . they're completely invisible. narcotics agents so be shows this videos of right for 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, but any drug related offenses, including long prison sentences, even products with prisons full is the best thing the interior ministry has resulted to promising exemptions that those who agree to treatment in a clinic adult is on the other hand, insist are on enough beds for the launch numbers involved and someone need is the female audits the, the patient who this doctor is seeing today is 25 and a 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 who turn aggressive and beat me. i only know really often i wanted to leave him culturally, but being an addict problem with mental. i couldn't go back to my family though to try to get the money by the to all the why not actually moved to and in 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 on our way out to the rocky capital in the

direction of the run, the source of the crystal mac, the post city of basra and the surrounding region. all controlled by conservative, she and malicious, were told as more 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 and the spring says narcotics agent alisha. he recently joined the use task force to show it to this or can the spread of drugs on this scale is also because of a band alcohol what sort of like a whole year. and because the kids had really easy access to like the, like the crystal mesh cuts through class divisions. show you introduce this too much stuff. it's been a headache since he left high school. or he comes from all respected family and his

mode with children himself, which is why he wants to remain anonymous. well, it's also that i kept on taking it and met a lot of people doing the same. even government officials. it seemed to me like a choice between death and jail. stuff are found on the shy of bio social media. he helped him to break the addiction, something that only a small percentage achieve. the agent takes us along a visit to the local jail. it's terribly of a crowd primarily with alex in dallas. we say shocking, lee crump conditions which were not allowed to fail. husein went to college. he's been here for 2 years now. she having a cell with hundreds of other inmates audiences. he's innocent. i still will text me on a journey. i've had this, i was a cab driver and the customer asked me to drive in to meet a friend who gave him some drugs. when we set off again, we were arrested was up no more than we had that hussein 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 that has 2 toilets and one shower. i was told i was caught with 6 kiddos. it's crazy. so it wasn't my job. it belonged 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 saw me. why did he always feel so safe? wasn't he afraid of getting caught? those took the government is completely broken in. and that's what most of the drug dealers come to the high ranking officers. and if they tell you to carry on and keep dealing with, you know, you're ok via the were unable to verify his claims. but what we can say,

i'm glad dealers doctors on addicts agree, is that the country has a new devastating bottle on his hands. the 2 pounds best rate continues to full nose 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 the own face? the best rates we headed to a courtesy to find out more. 2

it might not be music to everyone's ends, but they show in a house and live in a place to another day of happy may him in this multi street office building far as he is in a kashi, decided to keep one flow for themselves and then gave free reign to the younger generation. deanna and to kalki, thought tony, a big funds of this centrally located family facility. they moved west to the modest sleigh size, 50 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 akashi is a place that makes you feel totally at home. the whole country like this, giving a call, she made a concerted effort to attract more family means the architect of those kinds was

full. 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 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 coast. so good because she is now safety for children. with this being the most visible example of much to 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. so good to go see compared to tokyo and other cities in japan, children here have a lot more time and opportunity for playing with kids the same age and they really

love it. and the 3 year old leone is in his elements and to ensure that he and his 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 a long to pay more for parents. that's the added bonus, but diapers, and delivered free to the, to the cause. she's both rates is rising again, but in general, japan faces a growing crisis. there are few of babies. and in the meantime, few a young women too, were such as on show that things can be turned around and one major reasons 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. juliana such any and her husband both working parents? the 2 in comes together with the low cost of living or winning combination kids they can afford to rent an entire house full of things, attractive conditions play to pods in this dosing. a family having kids with it being practically, i'm thinkable in the big city where everything costs a lot of money. because 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 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 for the month or so. 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 streamline. so the, so there's an increase in the tax revenues to the investing in children this help to improve the economy here. yep. change the 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 more? i think it's a whole country, but to move in the same direction as our city. it would benefit greatly that was looking at about the growing number and cities

all following at cash. 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 superiors because it's the seats of love. i'm of the room into person and then hopefully to move uh, maybe when the proposal, my future life on the apple tower competitors. the a lot of things make me happy. seeing my family happy makes me happy. seeing my niece and my nephew waking up, going to school in the morning and then being as providers as other children makes me happy and level my for me just seeing us to give them some good people in our personal lives. people, you don't get time suspended, the family, end of the say,

you don't realize what your habits and it's gone. so i'm giving them the flowers or they're still here. the. the biggest settings is our phase 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 past the, so my passion is fish and i'm a design, i make codes, you know, with that being said, i'm a design i'm, i, me close with no sewing machine, but it only these 2 hands, these 2 hands in the needle, the

kind of change is a big problem. so difficult a big problem. and when and when it does happen, it actually is who is the lives of millions and millions of people because millions and millions of people, okay to lose their homes meetings and meet the people, get their homes flooded with the information in their homes, 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 this. a good thing. rose creates jobs, raises the standard 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 to the 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 forecasts concluded that them less growth was curved, civilization would collapse like 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 in the 2 thousands. once data began to show just how it reversed of lee, we were harming the planet. a recent paper, a 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 its 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 were missing ecological. the great ation, biodiversity last, the u. k. has some of the worst part of us here. 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 eva sion 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, trading 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 behind 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 all 3 of sources 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 south 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 will find many governments willing to do that. moving away from ttp, for example, to metrics that value, you know, human impact across what price you have dimensions, you know, the 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. i'm in a, in a way that, you know, is less resource intensive or destructive. another example is would, former new zealand prime minister just send the order and didn't 2019 when she announced national budget that prioritize citizen wellbeing and happiness over g. d . p, an economic growth under the budget. all news spending was required to advance government priorities, like improving mental health, reducing child poverty, and addressing the any qualities faced by its indigenous population, the growth or is envisioned and economy driven by alternative principles, the wage warranty grace is the we need to imagine a different feature a new ecological,

a new relationship between humans and non human nature in which human humanity because so nature can flourish on friday, the
