6:34 am
all too well. it'll be what she'll probably of the volunteers are making preparations for a new shelter in a former monastery. but space on the island is running out of him, broke it for the cable. when he left word, shall i make the bed allow compare the 1st aid kit on the key in the middle. they made up the key. yes. let's see how many there are 1st of them. then we can decide where to put the babies, women, and children. but as the injured to take the 1st floor and the others the 2nd week, i will have my whole good by the very to 10 a reef. transporting hundreds of refugees to the larger island. many more are expected. so more to hold up for health. and there are so many coming, we just can't take care of them. the one boat arrives, you give everyone water and take them to the showers, then other boats coming 280 people to yeah, they say you must reorganize again. i see where you can find more benefits that we
6:35 am
have on each side by the one he said, look, got hard at out and it does it. and we can big all those many arrived sick or wounded just a few days ago, a man in test that he does care died. deputy see be a big girl. it's not, it's a real blow you ever need to have them. do you wonder if you could have done more? whether you should have checked again that night? you dial the same thing, not for can we meet them, get to know them? and then when i say most, it's difficult. i can pick a mode who is considered an economic migrant. he was denied asylum, which means he'll be deported. a that's a biased the most on basic refugees from other countries might be here for a month or 2 before being allowed to travel to the main layer. and those are the ones that we have from synagogue, and there's no war there. i have no idea of them. so they told us we have to go back to our country and put us with ice mode,
6:36 am
who lacks the legal grounds to stay. but he is staying foot working as a taylor an acquaintance took him in, but the situation makes him unhappy. and yes, so you get, my family keeps asking me for money for staying a little, but you're in europe now. they say, and i think, but africans, idea of europe has little to do with reality. and i don't know if you live here and a half paper so you can have a good life way to sell it. otherwise you have nothing in, in either. and i left so much behind the window, of course i had a good job and it's in a go, i'm with the whole, but i lost everything in the model hopes it wasn't all in vain. but so far he says, his dream of a better life in europe has not come true. when it comes to air pollution, bosnia and herzegovina ranks among the worst, any of the country has abundantly lick,
6:37 am
not coal resources. this coal is also used and the country's largest power plant in tools. this power plant helps me to big chunk of the country so that tricity needs and provides thousands of people in the region with 6 your employment. however, residents like ease, it has started to express health concerns. there is an increasing incidence of cancer and respiratory problems similar to population near the power plants. so how toxic is this neighborhood really kina is harvesting the last tomatoes of the season. they're not as tasty anymore as the ones in august. she says, she's 74 years old and lives alone. the house is right next to the biggest coal power plant in bosnia and herzegovina. oh no, i'm sorry. i have to grow my own vegetables. no, that's good. good. i can't walk very well and the supermarket is far away to the
6:38 am
door. but when i harvest something, i wash it well 33 times. indeed it i don't think it's dangerous for me as me though. she tells me she has 4 chicken and 2 cats that keep her company after her husband died. uh was middle middle the uh to 7 is my husband died as stomach cancer in 2018. so, but i don't know what cost ariel was it. ok, i'm pulling up the place that god is on one side of getting us house likes to coal power plant on another side, it's as disposal site. this is the body as from the plant as dumped. it's just outside of town, but it feels as far away as the moon. this is what we meet, dennis disco. so he is an environmental activist and has been opposing the power
6:39 am
plant for years. so if we look at this, this poisonous with wash and softer of the 3 that it's full of heavy metals. god knew of sending lid. it's most healthy. what's more, drop it, some chunks, please do last year ends, but nothing. this would yes. from the plant is pumped with more to into the base and presumably the ash will be less chief of good dentist tells me that according to a study he did, together with the scientist from the university up to us not to mixture contains a range of heavy metals, the voltage toxic, and extremely alkaline. he says, so it should not come into contact with underground water. so how,
6:40 am
how is this space and how is it sealed off? and they just build a dime at the end of the valley. and unfortunately, there is nothing ceiling the bottom of this thing. so that's where we have a problem. because the way it should have been done, they should have put the liner, some kind of prevention of this water penetrating the underground water, which they didn't do. then is come see a rec, you and i need to talk, you mentioned the site piece of freight, that heavy metals will end up in the soil, the ground water and ultimately the food chain. we want to know that just as type violate legal standards according to our legislation, if the legal unfortunately the environmental permits, they're doing everything in accordance with the environmental permits. so the problem we have in this country is that the whole system is actually working to predict the polluters rather than predict the people in the nature. so
6:41 am
we asked the company with a ceiling exist, i'm guessing evasive answer, saying they comply with the own regulations. to double check the accusations, we ask the environment ministry to get an insight into the official environment. impact assessment of the site. did tell us that it can get hold of to document votes and sorta pollution might be one issue at pollution seems to be the bigger one. besides the power plant, traffic, household teaching and other industries contribute to it. to us lives considered one of the most polluted cities in europe and measures a particular method in the air. awesome and the unhealthy range during our stay. another person who is deeply upset about absolution is, is it by kids who lives near the plant. he wants to show his health problems.
6:42 am
well then i have 4 ruined ribs here. he tells us he has been sick for more than 20 years and suspects the reason is the plant. because i don't have that on it foot, i may have i last part of my long i had cancer, i had tuberculosis able to all because of the plant guaranteed on that. it's all because of the power plant product at the time i was born here to the deal. when i was a kid, the snow was black in the seventy's, a thing wasn't etc. and now the rain is full of dust. settling up he said, shows pictures of his surgery, or how much of it was by now he has only half of his lung capacity. he says, is it doesn't want to plan to be closed, but the months but to protect and he needs to take an array of medications and only
6:43 am
goes outside pollution level is low. well that's, let me go to the doctor is even recommended that i move away. if i can move about where to get at the local hospital. pulmonology specific, the only hostage is treating patients who live in the area. i show her the level of fine particulate matter often last days in the red area. mm hm. with up to 200. what does that mean for your health, for my health, for everybody's health, your doorstep is not those that's much higher than the maximum for that size of particular comment e. oh, basically no amount of this is healthy for human sawyer based businesses of target . so the higher the concentration and the longer the exposure, the more harmful and longer lasting the consequences, siegel and most of it was being a. so they had to go talk to me a find,
6:44 am
particularly the meta, also called pm 2.5. kennedy to cancer, cardiovascular, diseases, diabetes, and ultimately premature day. i want to know, is it possible to quantify how much harm is close by the power plant and how much the other factors, such as the traffic, brought in the 2 name and put the name on exact. i cannot give you a percentage source because there is no data unable, isn't it that am i looked at on the all day or stand when it comes to the area around the power plant to shave it, air pollution is higher than it is in other parts. of the city and economy of issues that are shown on echo all the time. even deal of the mind cannot. the power plant itself is definitely has a negative effect on air quality who is sick or not. but it is also comfortable to other sources of pollution. ali sama on a similar take on party unity. so don't game is what he is a junior or nationally or clean. yet some locals perceive to power plant. as the main culprit on the 6th street residents,
6:45 am
really nice. we're here to talk about the plant. and suddenly everyone wants to have their say, they tell us almost all of them have sick or deceased family members. me small or to we are being poisoned here. my mother died. this neighbor died, his son died. she had surgery and look at easy situation and so on. everybody got got got another man stops his car to give us take on it. he is in favor of the coal power plant. while he was a heated debates, thoughts to the unlimited. so and i said, do they can't close the power plant now and then we'll see a little this region and the people here depend on it. 10 minutes, not closing. it would mean the end of mining here, but i knew it then what it would mean job losses. and what would we end up with? poverty them, yes. and somebody from up there deciding when to open and to close the pipe said it's key. i don't know, nowadays in a country that exports energy is
6:46 am
a rich country, they've got a email passing on the, on the but there's so much dust really so they should use better filters so we can feel better and breed easier on the, especially during winter you can breed me versus a key thing. i've seen many doctors. they told me it's no surprise knowing where i live. well, we just want to be healthy about from the volume we walk around, like zombies, as we cool zombie. hold on. both in that touch the governor has huge cold recess last year it exposed to the quote of the energy put used to economic benefit to locals. however, here seems limited. according to the company, only $352.00 of the employees from town management is not willing to give a tv interview. they respond to our questions via email, emphasizing that they comply with all legal requirements. they sent us their
6:47 am
emission data, but even when asked again, don't specifically clarify emissions of pm 2.5, find particular meta despite many cancer cases and a small study funded by an n t o, it's difficult to legally prove link between the power plant and people sickness, i want to get answers from the public health institute of the content, but don't get clarity there either. the. no, honestly, searching you might have research as needed to assess the impact energy producers have on people's how we, based on, but neither the state and or the canton dedicates enough financial resources for it to me is log on to include to us. we ask for the money, but nobody wants to give it to us because the only study that has been done was by an environmental organization. and they only had a small budget tied registers even. yeah. it seems like officially institutions and
6:48 am
government bodies are turning a blind eye for shifting to blame. the not is living a slow lice. sometimes she suffers from from scientists. but she has no anger against the coal power plant. still not, i love living here a while. that's what i know. she has made peace, but the place where she lives will even go to the money unless it was at my age. you don't have big dreams. so bought a car just if i take the next step to walk up to stand up it's been more than 50 years since a power plant was built here. i lease was wondering how does situation look for the next generation into a to meet the dual adults therapist on
