12:32 pm
they must. all i could think about was my mother who did. i'd never see her again. so it moto survived the life threatening crossing, but his hopes of traveling to the spanish mainland for a new life have slowly faded. it's been 3 whole years since he arrived in the canaries and motors still can't leave all the while. boats from west africa continue to dock here. around 35000 people made the journey this year over twice as many as last many arrive with injuries. hundreds more, di and see the crossing from west africa to the canary islands is considered one of the most dangerous brutes to europe. finally, get upon throne is confronted with this reality. every day. he's the mayor of albuterol, the smallest of the islands. he's on his way to the cemetery. you had another funeral for a migrants who died at sea. miss young lady. good. i'm happy that we can bury them

12:34 pm
all too well we'll be all probably of the volunteers are making preparations for a new shelter in a former monastery. but space on the island is running out of hand broken for the cable. one to the left where it should only make the bed all. no, compare the 1st aid kit on the what the key in the key. yes. let's see how many there are 1st of a a. them. then we can decide where to put the babies, women, and children, but us the injured to take the 1st floor and the other is the 2nd week. i will have a good by the very to 10 a reef, transporting hundreds of refugees to the larger island. many more are expected, so more to have them that are so many coming. we just can't take care of them. one boat arrives, you give everyone water and take them to the showers, then another boat is coming. 280 people to yeah i they say you must reorganize again to see where you can find more band. sorry, hold on the sidebar. the one who said last got hard at the end of it,
12:35 pm
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 c b, i think it was not the real blow you ever did tell them 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 was difficult. a complete go. moto is considered an economic migrant. he was denied asylum, which means he'll be deported. the 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 line. and those are the ones that we have from synagogue, and there's no war. there are no idea. so they told us we have to go back to our country and put us with ice mode,
12:36 pm
who lacks the legal grounds to stay. but he is staying foot working as a taylor and acquaintance took him in, but the situation makes him unhappy. and you'll see that my family keeps asking me for money to expand a little bit. but year in europe now they say, and i think, but africans, idea of europe has little to do with reality. and i still, if you live here and have paper so you can have a good life way to sell it. otherwise you have nothing within and how to keep and i left so much behind which of course i had a good job and it's in a go, i'm with the whole, but i lost everything. you know, if you have any adult 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,
12:37 pm
not coal resources. this coal is also used and the country's largest power plant in cost. this power plant helps me to big chunk of the country. so electricity needs and provide thousands of people in the region with 6 your employment. however, residents like these that have started to express health concerns. there is an increasing incidence of cancer and respiratory problems. the amount of the population near the power plant. so, how toxic is this neighborhood really? a gina, it's 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. her 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
12:38 pm
door. but when i harvest something, i wash it well 33 times. indeed it i don't think it's dangerous mediaspace, though. she tells me she has 4 chicken and 2 cats that keep her company after her husband died. uh, what was the sadness? my husband died his stomach cancer in 2018, but i don't know what cost ariel was it. ok, i'm for another place that goes on one side of getting us house likes to coal power plant. on another side, it's asked disposal site. this is rudy ash from the plant. it's dumped. it's just outside of town, but it feels as far away as the moon this is what we meet the dentist cisco. so he is an environmental activist and has been
12:39 pm
opposing the power plant for years. so if you look at this of this poisonous with wash and on top of the 3 that is full of heavy metals, cotton you, i've sent a lid, it's most healthy. what's more, drop it from chunk from please do it and walk your friends. but nothing this walter dash from the plant is comforted with an oil change to the bass. and presumably the ash will be left 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 to voters toxic and extremely alkaline. he says, so it should not come into contact with underground water. so how,
12:40 pm
how is this space and how is it sealed off? they just build of them at the end of the valley. 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. dennis come see rescue and i need to documented the site. he's afraid that heavy metals will end up in the soil, the ground water, and ultimately the food chain. we want to know that just as tight violate legal standards, according to our legislation, if legal. unfortunately, the environmental permits and 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 and the nature. as we asked the company with
12:41 pm
a ceiling exist and getting evasive answer, saying they comply with 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 ahold of to document but voltage sort of 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 of particularly the meta in the air. awesome. and the unhealthy range during our stay and the person who is deeply upset about absolution is, is it by kids who lives near the plant. he wants to show his health problems.
12:42 pm
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 tonia that on the 4th, i may have, i lost part of my long i had cancer, i had to break your lo says able to all because of the plant guaranteed on the it's all because of the power plant out into the car. i was born here to the deal when i was a kid, the snow was black in the seventy's that they wouldn't, etc. and now the rain is full of dust. settling up he said shows pictures of his surgery. how much of it was by now, he has only half of his lung capacity. he says he's, it doesn't want to plan to be closed, but the months better protects and he needs to take an array of medications and
12:43 pm
only goes outside to find a solution. level is low, but that stomach go to the doctor is even recommended that i move away if i can move where to get at the local hospital, pulmonology specific only hostage is treating patients who live in the area. i show her the level of find particular meta of the last days in the red area. mm hm. with up to 200. what does that mean for your health, for my health, where everybody's health here does start is not at georgia, that's much higher than the maximum for that size. that particular comment, e. oh, basically no amount of this is healthy for human. sway i of as being is a target. so the higher the concentration and the longer the exposure, the more harmful and longer lasting the consequences, siegel and the rest of it was being a. so they had to go talk to me a fine particulate meta, also called pm 2.5 can be to cancer cardiovascular,
12:44 pm
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 but other factors such as the traffic brought in the 2 name and put dr. couldn't remember exact. i cannot give you a percentage source because there is no data unable, isn't it? the item i looked at on a 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 off telling deal of the mind cannot. the power plant itself is definitely has a negative effect on air quality who's a single node. but it is also comparable to other sources of pollution. ali assignment on a similar take on party unity. so to game easily is a junior or nationally or clean. yet some locals perceive to power plant as the main culprit on the 6th street residents. really nice. we're here to talk about the
12:45 pm
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 ease it 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, we are to the unlimited. so, so 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 didn't have to. i mean, it would mean job losses and what would we end up with? poverty them, yes. and somebody from up there deciding when to open doors and to close the pipes and just keep a gun nowadays in the country. the exports energy is
12:46 pm
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 breathe easier effect on the, especially during winter. you can breed me versus the key things. i've seen many doctors, they told me it's no surprise knowing where i live. well, we just want to be healthy of us. i'm the one whom we walk around like zombies as we go zone b, hold on. both in that touch the governor has huge cold recess last year it exposed to the quote of the energy it 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
12:47 pm
admission data, but even went off again. don't specifically clarify emissions of p. m 2.5, find particularly 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 class, i certainly am. i 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 lot on the inquiry 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. i read the survey line. yeah. it seems like official institutions
12:48 pm
and government bodies are turning a blind eye for shifting to blame. enough is living a slow lice, sometimes to surface from, from situs, that she has no anger against the coal power plant. the still night i love living here the while that's what i know. she has made peace with the place where she lives. will even go to the money unless it was at my age. you don't have big dreams. civil doctors, 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 situations but look for the next generation into a to meet the dual adults therapist on
