reconstruction to the new houses and renewed us, it's getting cold. the rates of holding sign and the volunteers will winter season mission kids particular seeing rebuild jobs, move indices, double the 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 insight. 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 and definition of made 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 faf your new movies and series. i've dropped in recent months. and that's because hollywood has had no one 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 and 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 need. 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 lines 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 continued to lose tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars during the writers. 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, 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 to 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 when we're using a free meals for writers and actors were a need as they are still on strike. all paid for by american comedy. a mister drew carrie pang, it poured quite literally having that extra meal for some people's 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 like to do all the work, you know, because i'm, i'm also drug counselor. so i've been able to pick up other work. so i know for the last rains, 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 gold and pay it back over a year and a half. but, you know, i think for the people, the entry level people just above the size being way hall though 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 fear residuals pay from streaming giants, netflix from disney plus paramount plus and others. there will be no end to the strikes. the actors union says until they get a deal similar to the one the writers just aimed 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 wave it will be able to get right back to work. for now though, the studio lots are still deserted and many thousands, entertainment workers movie, mtv crew personnel are still without a job. many projects have been postponed indefinitely or have even been canceled. and with all that, the local service and retail industry and the broader economy or teacher 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? where is the game plan here? and it seems like it every step of the way this judy 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 say the glory of old hollywood. the glamour of ali's entertainment industry is just that distance stating 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. 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. rosa tom. it has

customers in the us funds and many countries that use nuclear energy. our reporter module goes in, sco looked at why western nations have failed to be consistent with the question to 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 x on is 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. um, so i was like, stun happens to be in russia. severe the influence of the painful seattle 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. where does the enriched uranium come from? russia is by far the largest producer of enriched uranium in the world. that's 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,

rest of our catholics debt and that just means somebody else has to buy from us or complex down, 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 russian state nuclear authority for the fuel. despite all the coffee pots, 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. it's in about 5000 is known as of december 2019. construction had started on $28.00 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?

just one that was interesting and then about and even before that, rosa tom was active with 4 nuclear power plants each and 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 u. m. the metal that is essential for battery production, it is mind 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 of this wild 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 simile talent in, in time, binding, polite tonight to looks. yes, the size of it. here you see the big motor, which is connected with the shaft, with the mechanical part of the pump 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 room. brine. you have one, so we've secured areas in which we can obtain lithium a line or you can get me from these areas alone. we would be able width 20 or 30 projects an hour 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 vasa 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 is on this one. that's the specific potential for us here in europe within i'd say, jim, any comments? 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 semo plumps here. designated, such as those are the cracks, it's why, here's the 1st level, the 2nd one up here, you can see the 3rd as we i'm the see here. 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. so it seems the in time plant hasn't triggered more quake since 2009. but what if they stopped, again, is associated consumes bit 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 and to kelly believes in the success of jem

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 was a long since product development times are one challenging size and 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 for the automobile industry, i need some feel to be in industry. another aspect and it is gaining acceptance in the population to comes to the physical it helps that this is a 0 carbon lithium project, because the white gold is extracted from some of which i used to produce heat and power. it's viewed as a renewable energy source. once colds, 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 or 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 of a bundled it for now. but we still wanted you to take a look for yourselves right here. and 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 are stands for light detection and range and a system that provides high resolution 3 d information and a real time with lasers. the, the technology is also used in vachon, spain, the 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 and talk normally that we the space that's developed its own light are from scratch to do that. and i still headed 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 markets. so we see 60 percent of 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 thus 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 there we need the light r as a for technology to have a robust then the reliable system on the road. it will start in the next few years already for sure, starting below williams. but then would 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 tie one, 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 a technical issue, a one of the island substations, the taiwanese also experienced power cuts,

joint earthquakes, and tropical storms. and one village is trying to come up with its own solution to the problem. tie ones, sunshine shall lean village is making its name count by turning to solar energy to fight power outages. i was once a major our outage one day. we only lost power for a split 2nd. and then the power came back on. it didn't last long calling all the streetlights still had electricity as did the homes. mister young and his family were not affected by a recent nationwide blackout. just like 15 other families in sunshine showed him village in southern taiwan. mister yellows, 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 energy,

independent communities. the, the original shouting village was destroyed by the markup type of food in 2009 residents moved to this area after it was destroyed. it's called permanent housing . survivors now live in 3 different communities in houses built by the time when he's government sunshine showed him. village is one of the villages as the name suggests. it's a sunny place with little rain or the perfect site 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 batteries 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 card. and so mainly because of their high capacity. and as i use it kind of low. now these countries on the screen before use those, it's 60 to 70 percent of the life spend remaining under contain and normal internal resistance that will have a better chance of being used. or if there are 50 batteries in an electric car, you can probably pick out the 30 to 40. it tells of science. the goal is to once to screen the batteries up, 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. plus residents have to be reassured that living with

batteries is safe in the one. no, don't watch a lot more initially worried if they installed it, what would happen to their homes, whether it would shorten the live span of their apartment. i had to explain to them that it's better to use it because solar panels can help cool the house. and the system can help save energy along with some government subsidies. i thought that we'd be up on it. and yeah, mr. yeah, played a key role in communicating with the residents. it took him 3 months to convince 15 how souls to sign the consent forms. every household has a daily closure of 10 kilowatt hours of energy storage. and some families are republishing use batteries to meet that quote to the we're actually understanding the system, our shelves. my,

mike's not the kind of green energy project. people imagine we're solar panels are planted up 2nd, a spacious lot and the energy holes tend to times our, our system doesn't send and we're just leave me a talk about the 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 all foils on phones. 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 this 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 and the entire team here in berlin. good bye. take care the
