the so called all the topics i'm much up to you from trouble. it's all fixed. a new culture. and in 15 minutes, let's say together, nicholas talks about community life on the surface of this research is now on the hollywood actors have been striking since mid july in what is become the industry's most historic strike. and an end doesn't appear to be in sight. now that's the spite actors wanting to negotiate with tv and production studios. but what is the strike really about? we're going to answer that in depth edition of made the, the use business magazine. and here are the other topics. rush renewing,

and why was it excluded from the function? lighter technology and the significance in driverless vehicles and a tie, one east village trends to solar energy to fight power outages, to bondage in belgium. welcome to the show. now if you like cinema or a tv, you've noticed far fewer new movies and series of dropped in recent months. and that's because hollywood has had no one but to historic strikes this year. to be in production, firms managed to reach an agreement with screen lighters at the end of september. the screenwriters will get more money on the studios promise to be more transparent about the success of the content and not to use artificial intelligence for scripts . now, hollywood has just one more hurdle. getting actors back to the studios. their strike isn't just hurting the industry. it is also hurting the economy. the, the,

it's been nearly 3 months. hollywood actors are still on strike. anything as welcome that helps keep up merot. 100 show up at the picket lines, the march back and forth in front of the major movie studios from 9 o'clock in the morning until 12 noon. we don't want it to go any longer. we would love for it to wrap it tomorrow. we all want to get back to work. we want to work. this is not about laziness. this is not about just trying to get more money trying to get enough that we can live on some say, the glory of old hollywood. the glamour of a lease entertainment industry is all just a distant fading memory. the industry has changed a lot and not necessarily for the better they say we meet randy barnes, who's a writer for randy. the strike is over for union. the writers guild of america or w g. a. got to deal with the alliance of motion,

pictures and television producers. finally, randy was on stripe for almost 5 months. there is still a strike going on. there is still a struggle in for others. and there is also the ramifications of the fact that everybody's been out of work for close to 5 months. the ramifications were and continued to be significant. major studios and producers are estimated to of last and continue to lose tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars during the writer is an actor stride. as the damage done to the state of california is economy. $3000000000.00, according to analysts, the entire us economy is reported to have suffered a loss of around $5000000000.00 and count if the economy is, is always affected during the strike. unfortunately, look, i haven't seen my hair dresser in quite some time. restaurants, dry cleaners,

as you said, yeah, if people stop spending as much money, it becomes a sort of mini recession. and this is after on the heels of the pandemic, which was already hitting everything pretty hard. l a has been it's been rough in l . a since then, the 2 swingers diner and coffee shop. for many other restaurants, the struggle was real and due to the strikes business remains down. some places even have to call it quits for good. not so swingers diner. one reason, a free meals for writers and actors were in need of they are still on strike, all paid for by american comedy. a mister drew carry payment port quite literally having that extra meal for some people mental loss. you know, there are some people who, you know, they had been working and suddenly you're going to be without for 5 months, i'd really able to do all the work, you know, because i'm, i'm also

a drug counselor. so i've been able to pick up other work. so i know for the lot friends, people have had to sell the cars and you know, really have to hustle. and, you know, if you're fairly successful, you can get an interest free loan from the goals and pay a bike over a year and a half. but, you know, i think for the people, the entry level people just above the size being way, although you know, back up the ticket line, the actors are determined not to let out better pay guarantees about the restricted use of artificial intelligence and fair residuals pay from streaming giants, netflix from disney plus paramount plus and others. there will be no end to the strike. the actors union says until they get a deal similar to the one the writers just inc, with movie studios, tv, producers, and streamers. i feel very optimistic about where we stand

because they need us in order to, to film the, the, the shows and the movies. if they don't have the talent, you're correct. they can't make it. so i'm happy though that the writers have their deal because by the time that they am p, p, p, finally come to their senses and come to the take the table with us and gives us a good deal. there will be scripts for us to perform. we will be able to get right back to work for now though, the studio lots are still deserted and many thousands entertainment workers, movie and to the crew personnel are still without a job. many projects have been postponed indefinitely or have even been cancelled and was all that the local service and retail industry and the broader economy or teaching severe hit. the worst case scenario is this goes on a lot longer, that they don't settle with the actors that they don't offer. meaningful advances to the actors. question is sort of what is the logic? what is the game plan here? and it seems like it every step of the way the studio is ultimately didn't have one

. everything seems to be ser poorly managed and poorly missing drugs. i think they vastly under estimated the resolve of the union, the power of the union. i think they thought that they would be able to squeeze us and we'd say ok, never mind. remember, some save the glory of old hollywood. the glamour of allays entertainment industry is just that distance fading memory. let's hope not a lot of live. your favorite tv programs and your future favorite movie depend on it. since russia invaded ukraine in february, last year, western nations have responded with functions against russian energy exports. they want to curb, but the kremlin is ability to raise money to fund it's more in ukraine. russian uranium is an exception, and business has been booming for the russian nuclear agency roles at home. it has customers in the us funds and many countries that use nuclear energy. a reporter

monitor goes in, sca looked at the y. western nations have failed to be consistent with the question to a radium. a sun and wind . never ending energy sources that generate environmentally friendly electricity. but hardly any country can rely on the sources alone. nuclear power has played an important role in the world's energy supply for decades. and recent years, there's even been a renaissance in nuclear power. new nuclear reactors are being built all over the world. the raw material uranium is needed to make fuel rods that power the plants world wide demand is increasing. but where is uranium mines? cause that expand as the top country with over $21000.00 tons per year, followed by canada, namibia, and australia. russia is only in 6th place, but i'm coming back in this context because like stun happens to be in russia,

severe the influence of the i'm to see that's fear of influence already places significant role for europe is about 44 percent of all uranium came from russia and catholics done in 2022. next time you're comes in, so i told them fine chauncey's. however, it's not only about the deposits, but also about technology. uranium has to be enriched in order to be used in nuclear reactors in the form of fuel rods. weirdest thing in which to uranium come from russia is by far the largest producer of enriched uranium in the world that 40 percent. it's followed by france and china. there isn't much competition in this field so far. you think about it a bit like a world market, you know. okay, so you buy from canada, say instead of you know, rush or catholics that and that just means somebody else has to buy promotion or

complex done. right. like it doesn't it's not like you're not buying doesn't change . you know, uh, changes the market in some sense. that since the russian, more of the russian on ukraine in 2022, russia has become a non desirable trading partner. nevertheless, the western world depends on enriched uranium from russia and russia is making everyone pay. uranium prices have doubled since 2018 last year us power producers alone paid $1000000000.00 to rush and state nuclear authority for the fuel. despite all the caviar, though, russia remains the best alternative on the world market. you know, it's relatively cheaper to produce, going to get it from catholic stat or russia. and so, you know, you, you just don't have the market. there was a large discussion in the trump administration about limiting imports of uranium. all those discussions kind of didn't go anywhere because, you know,

nuclear power plants were already under stress with relatively low electricity prices, or even roosevelt gas prices leading to relatively low tricity prices. you know, and then sort of saying, look, if you cut off, you know, this lower cost uranium, then we just can't compete well close. more and more countries around the world are deciding to build new nuclear power plants. nuclear power technology is one of the export hits of the russian economy. since 1999, russia has sold more nuclear energy technology abroad than the us, france, china, south korea and japan, combined inside fits in about 5000 is known as of december 2019 construction had started on 28 nuclear power plants, world wide, 17 of which are in china now. the one do you ever 11 are being built by rosa tome in different countries? one of the interesting and then about and even before that,

rosa tom was active with 4 nuclear power plants. each in china, india, and turkey. others are being built in egypt, bundle with dish, and the ron and even born in the you country, slovakia. the european and american nuclear industries are now we thinking their position. the goal is independence from russia. however, the solution will take years and it's not just uranium. europe also relies on other countries. ford supply of lift. yep. the metal that is essential for battery production. it is mine in just a few countries in the world. australia is the leading producer followed by chile and china. so your pin countries are trying to change that and lift the is now also being mined on the continent, including here in germany. a reporter alexa maya visited the mine. this well

runs more than 3.5 kilometer is deep, allowing the room some of which have found that to reach the surface. once here, the heat is turned into electricity. the head to avoid con energy explains to a new employee how the g o assembled fountain in time, right? in the polite tonight to looks yes, the size of it. here you see the big motor, which is connected with a shaft, with a mechanical part of the pump, the inside of the purple that pushes the water upwards. at the same time, they're working on a pilot projects to extract alisium out of the woman brine. you have one, so give you 2, we secured areas in which we can obtain lithium a line or you can get me from these areas alone. we would be able, with 20 or 30 projects at our to extract enough lithium for all the passenger cars produced in germany and c p companies. this white,

alkaline metal is then founded as lithium hydroxide in neil straight in gem and companies. now, they're experimenting with special filters that we can show you due to the competition. starting in 2025 for kind of energy hopes to extract $24000.00 tons of lithium per year from semo volta enough for around $600000.00 callback choice. in size, and then of course the greatest potential we see at present is for batteries for electric cars also as well as becoming independent of other countries on this one. that's the specific potential for us here in europe, within 5 se gm and e commerce resources around 60 percent of its lithium needs from australian mines. another 20 percent comes from salt water likes in today. many in this region support becoming less reliance on imports, but they've also had bad experiences with the g o assembled plumps here.

designated as it is, those are the cracks. it's why, here's the 1st level, the 2nd and up here you can see the 3rd we, i'm the ca. yes, we've pointed out that earthquakes are still occurring here and asked me for and quite a large number for my newborn holes are to be made. and then we expect considerably more quick system. yeah, yeah. it seems the ins time plant hasn't triggered more quakes since 2009. but what if they stopped again? it is associated with some damage is a curb. they'll be smaller ones to facades or individual homes. and they can be repaired and compensation must also be paid. that's completely clear of the homicide. on the plus side, it's a domestic source of energy or a domestic raw material. so it's a state level, it's, it's, the energy is renewable, and it's a raw material source close to home, but to be good for time and castilla until kaylee believes in the success of jim and lucy in mining and has invested 50000000 euros in vogue con energy and as

a comm make us have signed purchase agreements for this vital role material used in factories that to book on energy still has a few hurdles to overcome the house for the long since product development times are one challenging sites and can the, the authorization process is must be shortened significantly so by the team so that we can begin production as soon as possible, producing heat for people as well as lithium or the automobile industry to complete some feel to be an industry. another aspect of gaining acceptance in the population back to comes to the physical. it helps that this is a 0 carbon lithium project, because the white gold is extracted from some of oil to use to produce heat and power. it's viewed as a renewable energy source. once codes, the water is pumped back into the ground while lithium is essentially the electric

vehicles. when it comes to driverless cars, it is a special kind of laser technology that makes all the difference. it's called lighter technology. laser is a more effective in the dark and cameras, so lighter can offer a higher resolution than right or sensors. but the cost of the technology is extremely high. and that's why automotive suppliers like boss a bundled it for now. but we still wanted you to take a look for yourselves right here, or largely autonomy is driving is slowly becoming a reality. more and more cars and drivers are relying on a system systems such as lane keeping, swerving, and breaking assistance to achieve full autonomy. much more modern technology is needed. the radar and camera alone will not challenge this, but together with light are, we will get this robust as we are looking for light or stands for light

detection and range in a system that provides high resolution 3 d information and a real time with lasers. the, the technology is also used in the vacuum cleaner robots that use it to scan the room for an iphone which enable a 3 d scan the, but it's also used in highly complex space maneuvers for navigation. weightlessness has to be accurate to the millimeter. physics drag and use as light or to navigate to the space station or doc normally that we the space x developed its own light or from scratch to do that. and i spearheaded that effort personally because in that scenario, light or makes sense. and it cars is freaking stupid. it's expensive and unnecessary

. the german automotive supplier boss has a similar view. most vehicles are still geared towards partially automated driving . the driver is supported not replaced in technical jargon, the so called level 2 is a very high demand for level 2 functionalities in the market. so we see 60 percent off the market is asking for level 2 plus functionalities by me delta decades. so we have decided to focus on that's topics and for the topics the library is not mandatory to half in the vehicle. instead, we are focusing our developments predominantly on other technologies, like video perception, video sensors, but also radar sensors. bosh is does focusing on improving existing technology. they want to wait until interest in lighter technology increases in the market, which will certainly happen. autonomy was driving was a major topic at the i a auto show. and it's no longer possible to imagine driving without it. we see that in future the cars will drive ultimately,

and then we need the light r as a 3rd technology to have the robots and reliable system on the road. it will start in the next few years already. for sure, starting below williams. but then we'll roll over time until the next 567 years. the 1st fully autonomy as cars are already driving on the streets of san francisco . it's still a test, but it's certainly the future. now we're going to have one of the most technologically advanced places on earth. taiwan. it is the leading producer of the world's most sophisticated semiconductors . but it also has blackouts here ago, nearly 5000000 households where without power as a result of the technical issue of one of the island substations, the taiwanese also experienced power cuts joined earthquakes and tropical storms.

and one village is trying to come up with its own solution to the problem. tie one's sunshine shall lean village is making its name count by training to solar energy to fight power outages as well. well, the way once a major power outage, one, you only lost power for a split 2nd. and then the power came back on the go. it didn't last long calling all the streetlights still had electricity as did the homes. mr. young and his family were not affected by a recent nationwide blackout. just like 15 other families in sunshine, shouting village in southern taiwan. mister yells, experience was not a lucky co incidence. an energy storage system helps the village keep its lights on the how does it work and kind of takes away for energy, independent communities. the,

the original shouting village was destroyed by the more a comp time food in 2009 residents moved to this area after it was destroyed. it's called permanent housing. the should live is now live in 3 different communities in houses built by the time when he's government sunshine shown in village is one of the villages, as the name suggests, it's a sunny place with little rain the perfect sign to demonstrate innovative solar concepts the system and sheldon village has 15 household energy storage facilities and one community energy storage system. the tricity converted from each household solar panels is stored in the factories for the household use the whenever the sympathetic tricity, it's then sent to the community storage system which supplies electricity to the

public activity center. so what does it do in this community? we use batteries, retired from electric buses and some from electric cars. and so mainly because of their high capacity. and so, as i use it kind of the only on these countries on the screen before use those at 60 to 70 percent of the lives spend remaining under contain a normal internal resistance level and have a better chance of being used if there are 50 batteries and then electric car, you can probably pick out the 30 to 40. it tells of science. the goal is to say once the screen, the batteries are put into a bundle page, bundle can store energy for up to 5 years. the concept needs additional economic stimulus to become more widespread because used the batteries can be relatively expensive. shelves, my much not the kind of green energy project that people imagine where solar panels

are planted in a spacious lot and the energy was sent to times our ours is doing well if i can send and it gives me a time value of the project helps tackle electronic waves diffuse by using re purpose batteries and when it comes to environmentally friendly solutions for independent power supply, sola is a solid option. oh the. so you think using renewable energy is good because it's environmentally friendly. and it's a good example for our community to have this kind of installation, mag associates also its own thoughts. only 15 out of $120.00 households in the village are currently using the energy storage system. mister y'all hopes to one day expand the scale. as climate refugees, he and other families are determined to rebuild the homes with an emphasis on environmental issues. and that brings us to the end of today's edition of made. thank you so much for watching to join us again next time until then from me
