seen times, pretty anxious. it's not clear, it is among the women that are related to this uh, dealer in the matters my sister here then who is also another 2 or 3 years old child. and so that she was able to rescue from being kidnapped is among the people who were going to be released. so we're anxious and we're hopeful it's a mix up for many emotions. i can imagine i did want to ask you whether you had any more information about who exactly will be released. no, i think that nobody has and i, unfortunately, i just sort of even our government doesn't know exactly what you're going to be released and we will know daily. uh, the agreement um describes as far as my understanding that only the day prior to the release every day we will know where the people are expected to be

released. it is horrible, it is painful, but this is terrorism. this is mary psychological terrorism. and we all need to be resilient and strong, you know, to go through it. this is how terrorism is constructed, i presume, as well. then you won't know anything about the hostages condition, whether they're in good health until they actually all back. so hopefully, uh they will be finally uh, be open to a visits of the red cross. so far the retros has done almost nothing for the ease ready, military and the issue of this conflict. and they will, according to the declination of our prime minister yesterday, they will be given permission to visit and take care of the hostages that will not be released. so i believe that is

a step forward. can i ask whether you has being consulted or in any way involved in these negotiations to get the hostages back? no, that's not exaggerate, for nobody's consulting in this is the level we're talking about, the highest levels of professional officials. it's not even a political negotiation. it's really an experts uh, negotiation. of course we try to to divert $0.10 for the, for this matter and deliver some messages. but it's way above our level. now think it shouldn't be like this. and that's what enables it to be a professional negotiation. and to get to the line where we are at the moment. okay, now what about the remaining hostage hostages?

not due to be released in the coming days as the any sense at all whether they are still alive even or unfortunately, there is no clear answer to this question. the assumption is that many more hostages are lives beyond this 50 uh, hostages doing it also talks about uh, hostages beyond the 1st uh ccr. so that these how much will be able to gather them and to assemble them towards release. we'll be able to continue this humanitarian pause of the day by day. we hope to see that we really hope to see that that is great. another 2 and after 4 days that are going to be a severe continuation of that. and then we'll understand how many people, the, at least among the kind of the glory of women and children are alive and available

for uh for release. no, i mean that's much more people are a live and can be released and that might take a while longer, but it doesn't mean that after this deal, this is the end of the cvn said the soldiers that can be saved a thing that we will need to be ready for more pressure and more resilience and patience until everybody will be released. i know that many of the affected families have expressed concerns, but the is there any military? can't keep the suing it's military campaign against come off the wall at the same time trying to secure the safe release of the remaining hostages. but we have heard from prime minister netanyahu, and i quote here, and to continue the war to destroy hum us. can i ask you for your reaction to that? i think that um, our cabinets has proven so far that the 2 goals of the dismantling home

us and um, protecting our, our borders and our security and the uh, alternate and very secretary uh, goal for bringing the hostages back are not confidential. and uh, so far the pressure to be there cuz it is the only language we see that uh from us, uh, this stands and that's what brought us to the point where we can reduce so many so far as the video. and so at the moment. so i think that those 2 goals as the prime minister indicated, are not conflictual, but um, uh, integrated into each other. at the same time, it's important to say that it's the media to resist the idea of the responsibility to conduct this operation. in the very come today to careful manner and i think they have proven to, to been doing that so far in my expectation and even demand that it will be

conducted as well. so in the, obviously the long run, but we want to see all the hostages back. we understand that it might come with difficulties to the military and we see already that they're willing to do this uh to this uh, to do this more. but we also want to see a secure and safe uh, as well for all citizens gimme roman bravo of kidnapped younger than a whole man. i'd like to thank you so much for your time and for speaking to us here on the w. thank you very much. you thank here stunning now to some other news and north korea claims to have successfully launched its spy satellites. the country space agency has vowed to send up more in the near future state media release. these images of lead to kim joan on overseeing the launch. south korea has responded by suspending pos of the military packed with peeling in both us and south korean officials say they cannot verify whether the launch was

a success. the double use james chase a in taipei told us more about north korea satellite launch. well, as he mentioned is really important. the points out in the 1st instance that countries around the world. a still trying to verify some young's claims. that is where you've been able to put this ministry satellites into a little bit. we 1st got wind of this loan slates on tuesday. any stage of here with 1st thing that the soft light instead or with a few minutes late to if it has a comes following to filed launches all of this here which killing young blamed on technical issues. so believe this time the satellite business broke, it was kind of recognizance lots of lights and pots and there. okay. but while i launched and had fallen into the east trying to see where as another pods flushed down in the pacific author traveling in japan, southwest prefecture of okay, now which led to alarms being such off across the jumping these items. so you really get a sense of how the region gets pulled into some of the the, the come kind of complexity of these no true and fast launches w's, james chase,

the inside, pay that to the netherlands. now with those, says alexis, a new parliament 3 major policy groupings are in the running to build a new government and the net. net in the opinion, polls a brand new policies among the front runners and the netherlands could be about to welcome its 1st female prime minister. the election was treated last summer when the outgoing permanence democratize. government collapsed, made a disagreement as the asylum policies in the netherlands. is set for major change at the top. after this wednesday selections, the country will have a new leader for the 1st time. in 13 years. paul's still too close to call on who will take on the road, and voters have a long list of issues. they want to see tackled, i think for me, cuz i'm a change in housing. there's a housing crisis in the and then well,

animal welfare is also very important of course climate and migration health care um morales uh the education and schools. um, of course, and we grace and migration the front runners deal on user goose. then you lead of outgoing prime minister my uncle with his party and peter on tech, who launched his new centrist potty only this summer. as center less block of the labor party intervene left let by form i you climate commission of funds 2 months is currently 3rd in the pause this, none of these parties likely to been more than 20 percent of the road candidates are already considering their options for forming no call list 2 out of these 3 parties on safety or party and the fee for the from part former prime minister risk are really keyed on forming a right wing coalition. so irrespective of who wednesday selections, we're looking to be heading towards the rights the make up of the next government

could also have consequences. outside benevolence says the longer if the midlands in dates gets a right wing coalition with peter on 6th party and the former prime minister at the cvb, this will likely mean that the government will be a slightly more you're a skeptic that before we'll try to push for more freedom to cap immigration in europe and also that this government will probably be very much on the side of israel and the current conflicts, books, all, most voters. it's issues closer to home that are helping the agenda. the netherlands is facing a serious housing shortage and the cost of living crisis, as well as a device $50.00 bade over migration. extensive coalition talks are set to follow wednesday's election. the actual therefore have to wait a bit longer for new vent to build the thoughts and support for you now and in

we all because like, instead of the, when i go to bed, i sometimes still have the sound in my ears, the sound of the see the voices of the fishes when the boat went out on the other boats, making this o sound we humans comp suffice with ounces, and yet we just keep them wasting at this point. knowing full, well how does all stress, we'll discuss the t can be the arrow see used to be the world's full largest lake, then the rivers that fed it was tests to irrigate farmland and it shrink from magically how of things. now

the, the old man and the sea, except the sea, as old but furnished were in moines in the far west of whose becky stone in central asia, the kids were. the last spoke to the left, the rest send in dusk, continued to eat away at people's livelihoods and loans. 74 year old ali, shutting off is one of the last slipping boat captains here. cuz the old people have lots to see what happens when we used to walk along the streets and the lakes that existed. yeah, there was always a wonderful breeze coming from it. it's crazy. when we were young in 5th or 6th

grade, we always looked at the monthly told it was very close. the pregnant? no. but now what's left of the r o c, as the ones you to make is called, is far away. instead, endless does planes and send that didn't put x teacher delia quickly more. i told her and her family of moving here, the 43 year old, his face and the future. i mean tourism in the region. you to the not the reason they used to be a key here, a large harbor view of life was extremely busy children based here a 1000 life and they were for holiday counters, law recreation zones, sanatorium and yes. at some point, we decided to build a year and a half here through while i get the 1000000 that museum was also built to attract visitors it on is the good times with films, photographs, and kinds of fish, as well as being a tourist hotspot. the town used to be known for its fishing. there was

a fleet of boats and a large kinda rate, which has long since closed down. many residents have moved away. we're on the way to the air is full in the hospital. it's now a guest house delia could lea motor tova bought the property with the loan and turned it into a simple accommodation. she then moved with a family to moines that the regional capital around 14000 people still live here, but many have long and other health problems. they suspect due to send storms. and the environmental talks in that remain from the lake at least shutting off his also stage. and part of his large family, 10 children, i'm 36 grandchildren. his house used to go to the lake directly. when i go to bed,

i sometimes still have the sound in my ears, the sound of the see the voices of the fishes. when the boat went down on the other boats making this o sound or it still rings in my hands. oh, we've been driving along to form a lake bed for hours of fruit. it's the only way to appreciate the full extent of the dried up salt lake. it was once the size of the various delia quickly motor tova has accompanied us through each city. and i come here 3 or 4 times a month, sometimes with guests. but it's quite a distance and it's not that easy. you know, it's 3 or 4 hours for more not to hear this, but it's really worth it to it of a, what a landscape? well, you could make

a blockbuster here. this mode about too much of the blue bus to the arrow see which struggles is beckett's down and catholic stone is only about a 10th of its form and size. a human induced environmental disaster which had its origins in the soviet union. the regime relied on one of the coaches, especially the water intensive cultivation of cotton, and so will to began to be diverted from tributaries to the late and used to irrigate the cotton fields. when the water receded already back in the seventy's and eighty's canyons formed here, as you can see, what does this, they are naturally beautiful did. although there isn't a single tree or greenery a custom gets an almost other worldly few names. but in reality, this was the start of a vicious circle. the salty settlement eventually ended up back in the ground water,

just like the chemicals from the cotton fields. the often powerful winds hit, whip up the salt dust and toxic chemicals. and scott, to the move for a large area. 68 roll top to hom, issue could be the, comes to check on his sex. so implants will cover sure. let me explain. remember, because the plant is now totally covered in dust. the company is because the dust is settling. but when it rains, the suck sol plan will turn totally green on. you can feel the wind. now, if we started here like this for 10 minutes, well we just as dusty pretends though, here with a c bed used to be the around come deserts, now stretches as far as the i can see. sex. so plants in particular are extremely important here because they help contain the salt stones of the and then we find the see what remains of the around see

the arduous journey from moines that took almost 4 hours only a few people find that way here to this wastelands most to make the long drive a manual work is, will start from local companies, come here to carry out tests, and then take a snapshot. as a souvenir. extremely high salt content, however, means there's hardly any life in what's left of the lake. delia quickly, maria tova, who is a company, does this boss is pleased to bump into old friends again? here it goes for a spin several times a month. she makes the long journey because it's here in the middle of the deserts that she built yet come me i need to provide

nothing really scares me what she can say when i used to work as a teacher, i liked passing on knowledge and drawing energy from is where your photo in that and now i talk about my own country. so yeah, my homeland of visitors here get to hear different stories about the canyons also and i draw inspiration and energy from that. yeah, it's a full cha if i do you. and that of you, it's remote region of who's beckett stone, still doesn't get many tourists. those who do come tend to be people who are looking for something unusual and special. and yet when she's there in person, the entrepreneur for past everything meticulously of the role, she wants a visitors to feel at home and that is on but no sooner. my parents were here in the area in 1975 and told me back then that there was a link that was beginning to dry out. and over the years it was on my mind and i really wanted to see it. and then i realized that i found driving where that water

used to be my lead cree pieces. i was like, wait really well, sure. we submit it like we humans have destroyed our great. see, we're over the 4th largest link in the world. is likely that should be less than to us. all those we need to save our water. we should plant trees. is it? it is yes actually to is may come here, but the old man is be left without him to see the once a month. how some people it takes a day to such a waste. so disability endo with taste. no. yeah. and these critics don't tough to dave to deep plastic flux to us this office of like victoria of because we get

fresh with a lake is quite of crush, don't today. oh. and when they, they don't do the some plastics on this fishing nets which are no longer being used by the fish. i mean, how something relieves and that you can't insure for like victoria. so he and most of you, some money from what's to us for almost 3 years now. he's been diving for a local, been a vision that seems to clean up the leak. they pulled out a bundle and fishing 8 or goes to minutes, which had been yours for the dave as the project is a day when i enter the i don't and there was web me with a fishing net. yeah, that's the worst thing that i heard. and i use my knife, which i'm always on the crate, the cut over, they say, you know, totally clean up the water. they also retrieve waste from the show that's covered in this petition. the main men to most of gets help from volume t as each month,

they get tons of plastic and bring it to land. faisal mer to him, but started the initiative. he's been organizing originally, cleanups. here for, for yes, he's program, you can, the junior ranges seems to retain the lake. it's not just state the plastic and other what's the lake? victoria mainly comes from the canals. hope you're getting discovery to accomplish that. especially the menu will come out. the team of the junior ranges lexia 3 times a week. so we try to ability stewardship of the community by you mean what we're trying to do uh, through these community activities clean up activities and when they are going to commit to re engage with the community. do so try to get them involved and then uh, educate them about the negative impact. it has to their communities and the neighborhood those leaving the canal starting to realize that details here and be to for the environment. let's just to waste, think to the water,

to solve do for these sites, which are meant for that for the free and meaningful of streaming and the full fishing and the for all of activities that you will take based on how to get people to plastic out to of like victoria would be huge undertaking in lake is almost as big as your and your and fully as low as i guess the what to contaminants shouldn't . gunter good, very 60, if the control so doesn't have his functioning with the management system. see government discussions like discussing is such a environment protection rule. that's what pinot lice pollute as a hope for you before the good enough. and in most cases, people think that it's still good for me to, for you. and then governments and be able to do that. yes, i didn't find buttons with you find that i'm going to be there under the, under the nice environmental act which will then cut, which will discourage people for mutare. the government supports the organization

for them to increase. the only original source of income comes from sending plastics to recycling companies where they are converted to break. what simulate products the money the on from that helps cover the teams course. they propose to collaborate with to international a given a solutions really help, he'll be able to buy to cover bikes and billboards. the supposed to get these by jelly to arrive a few of the more then facilitates uh they use the teams that we want to keep up with no major money that we gain for release of age on a board into the one big sofa. no, it's enough. people have to convince us to help protect lake victoria. clean water is critical for the survival. those are leave on the lake. i sent in your comes from me to fishes. and those 1st time. how important is these fees? i don't 100 load phone daisy. but the way i knew i loved this,

you'll and just to up so that i've heard of other people's life. gee. and his group wants to continue the project that will continue to catch him. young people in the process which will allow the diving team to keep growing. the every 2nd river in the world is regulated by a down. this is done to irrigate agriculture generate power. unsecure, the drinking water supplies the us, china and india based. some of the world's knowledge of stems, but just how sustainable all day, deep and wisdom in their lives. one of the largest and most controversial dams on of sub does settle but a mega project that was so important to the government. the integrated, the world's tallest stature nearby to look over it for its own entity. while it was

shrouded in control of the sea for decades. dams like sub that's that over the 3 gorges. and it will produce hydro power that contribute far more renewable energy to the mix that all of those sources combined. and to do these mega struck just like getting more mega plans for the well largest hydro electric project in congo, that would be twice the size of the current global biggest 6, the largest such projects that india has ever commissioned. a lot is happening with hydropower. but with the younger and 60 of the new of, of holding the limelight, these old and boring structures don't get much attention behind the scenes those hydro down. so that's a really interesting story about our quest to energy global power dynamics over the last century. now with the modern twist and the big iron the invitation to look at us september, october are supposed to be the lowest hydropower upward months in 6 years. china

base or has power dropped by 30 percent. so let's look at what's actually going down with hydro and whether it can continue to play a role in the energy future. somewhere between all the chapter about fossil fuels destroying the planet and renewables like sola and when saving us lives. a big a really big grey zone. this is altered by hydropower, which is great in every sense. it's kind of sustainable, kind of green and even only kind of renewables. let's quickly go over how it all works before we get into it. this is the image most linked to hydro and rightfully so, most hydro bala comes from the dams, but i've been across rivers. water is stored in it as a form and when we need energy related to on to, to binds, which then run generates us. of course not all of them generate hydro and not all the hydro come sometimes, sometimes still binds, also stuck into the diversion,

less destruction, but less control. the fluid kind is bumped the storage where the station is split into one physically higher water is bumped up when there's enough energy and allowed to run down to it to bind when energy is needed. this one is supposed to be works really relevant lodge that actually, that can come to the intermittency of solar and wind, which is really positive for hydro power. we've actually been tinkering with the technology for over to midland. yes, we have a lot of experience and comfort with his grandfather of renewables. it's reliable, predictable, unavailable, on demand. it integrates well into grids and over the long term electricity from hydropower is really cheap. no one the some countries relies really heavily on it, but that's one major problem. the free flowing rivers around the world, dams, due to them,

a fresh water equal systems have declined faster than all others, including forest affected by deforestation. and dom construction is the number one reason for this dies of course with the poster child of this tragedy. and many projects have come up with ways to get fish boss done some work and some i don't buy just dixon is but it's not only about so it's also about other organisms that in the river tuesday, out of the software looked at the many ways hydropower disrupts and dial lots of systems layers within the rest of the reservoir. and so in some of the lowest later is the coldest one. and so if you and let's say at the hydropower them from time to time to bulk them up and the big gates for the water to produce electricity. and then it usually has a very strong and cold pink of water. so that's also

a 2nd thing on the types of organism in but done building is bad in other ways to steal and cement to used a bit plan. so some of the most common intensive materials on of and as know, remember when i said hydro is any kind of green and sustainable? one big reason that's true is because greenhouse gas emissions from aggressive was in the tropics, have proved to be the dictators as much trees degrade much faster than normal. they release meet the and end up making hydro projects was for the climate, then comparable coal plants. this national graphic shows the more immediate impacts, the 3 gorges dam flooded, 13 cities a 140 downs and over 1300 villages. approve of it even change the local weather being so huge. it's even cause of quakes in the region. the other, the down in turkey has created

a huge block to the euphrates that has ended up causing severe water shortages down river in iraq. then in the a molly, as with 550 projects underway, dams has made the impact of land slides was over the years. hydro dams have also displeased at least 18000000 people from the homes. you might be thinking a lot of this is pulling news and you're right. it is in the case of the sort of a local people are protesting the environmental effects and social costs already back in the 1980s. eventually the world bank, one of the largest funders put out under pressure and many other banks followed sort. but now many of back we're seeing development banks and government embracing large hydro. jocelyn mcdaniel is the deputy director of the international accountability project that looks into corruption and injustices links to internationally funded infrastructure. we started to get feedback and concerns

about specific projects, and many of them were hydro power. and this does not surprise me at all a, with the climate crisis. there's a push for renewable energy. that's like the big push for hydro today is coming from the time of movement seems compared to fossil fuels. hydro doesn't look so bad . go up 26 and 2021. many countries pushed for hydropower as a key source of clean energy and that makes it only 2023. the international renewable energy agency declared that we need hydropower capacity to do that by 2050 the limits global warming to 1.5 degrees. but the thing is not much has changed in terms of social environmental impact since hydro is days with a bad reputation. either old problems and that exist that underscore any of these development projects. and it's, you know, it's because they're very deep seated. a symmetry is and power between communities

and project components, right? the government for development banks and companies investors and that hasn't changed. that hasn't changed at all. the estimate trees locked here when you look at where most mega projects, i've turned africa, south america, eastern europe, and selves and southeast asia. and most of these are funded by us, european and chinese bax bax. i, b and other organizations have found that these projects leave a lot of schools for corruption. often ballooning countries, banks, intermediaries and even local governments take most of the profit, especially to infrastructure contracts, and by providing technical expertise. most of the button is blown by the local environment and communities who can lose a livelihood and homes and not often even left without electricity themselves. this brings us to the iron, the entertain. hydro has had its blue murphy's. i'm today this dick that's meant to

mitigate the time of crisis is becoming a big victim of the crisis itself. as rivers i the flood don't dry up. the productivity of all kinds of hydropower, big and small is dramatic. the dropping in we build all these large hydropower damage that are currently 1052 percent of the remaining, the free flowing river, the big loss in the tropics. they wouldn't be fragmented, so we need hydro, but do we still need them. ready there is a potential for a 9 percent increase in global hydropower top city without building any new facilities. kayla get a month for the hydro research lab in texas when they looked into 3 ways in which this could be done. the 1st category was dams that i use for anything, audits and hydropower, which i've already had an impact on the environment. maybe put in generators

turbine. and i guess the transmission lines are the scale of an entirely new hydropower development to retrofitting and existing not on power dam presenter ration there is a lot of on top potential there. the 2nd category was plants that need upgrading, including generally 2 units of software upgrades. and then up to a category we know from the ceiling and our data day, there is a bunch of them that are the smaller scale. so that may be, you know, a farmer, he's not a small damn built in his property to create a bond or small late for his farming operation. there's this many additional opportunities for high your par development of very small gales. which in developing countries maybe a much more how of global,

equitable and quick integration where hydropower projects sometimes might still need to be built. but these can be used for more than just hydro in general. and this is kind of a key, we're going to have to think in a whole system. and this is also true for thinking in terms of renewables. it's important to think about how to combine and everything goes so like, so enough what, what time like winds and so on. ready this is already happening in some places one portugal giant. ok, but as before, closing solar panels, feed soul plus energy directly into the dams hydropower. so similar projects like these have a lot of potential to use existing hydro as diet batteries to store renewable energy. energy from hydro needs to be a part of the future, but not of the cost of so much else. when this is considered,

we can move towards a truly green future the the,
