and so this may be a message to see people, but i'm very happy moment. i'm sort of agenda more on the rise. and of course our top story differentiation results on our website, d, w dot com and on social media to empower dradian berlin. thank you for watching. have a great day. the dream of revolution dictates has the most uh, was supposed to change my life, the people hope for a sara society. i imagined we would change the world. tens of thousands of messages from all over the world. wanted to help reconstruct the country. this mission became the dream. it was simply a spirit of optimism, where we encouraged each other,

so many things were suddenly imaginable. their audience is a mess it and make it a dream of revolution. thoughts july 20th dw, the no money from medical care adult to in indonesia is paid in plastic recyclables, the full sterilization in canada, a legacy of systemic discrimination and contamination control per se. germany's on result issue with radioactive waste. the,

the is a full 100 nuclear reactors in alteration worldwide, and that number continues to grow. they generate thousands of tons of radioactive waste each year, and no one knows what to do with it. that's an issue even for countries like germany that have shut down laptops, we headed towards the center of germany, close to the phone, the border between west and east. this entire area has a lot of sold on the ground. people here used to live from farming for centuries until a big salt mine opened around 1900, transforming the area. the 3 shots without mining continued up to 1964 when it stopped being profitable. around the same time, west germany was looking for a place to store radioactive waste that had started piling up from the growing nuclear industry. that's when the full,

i settled on this particular by the way, getting an exclusive tour on the site. not to my mind works for the operator of the mind, and it's taking us on the ground and we're ready for the day of the year. so just a matter what you need to wear the whole time 5 decimals. so this measure is radio activity, parts of that and there were any, it would show up on the meter. this is our oxygen in case of emergency, not the best feeling to have to be this prepared. between 19671978, around 826000 drums of low and intermediate level of waste were brought here into

the us a to microsoft. most of it is waste from nuclear reactors like filters or construction material, a small part as waste from research and medical facilities. but the, the also contains some of uranium amplitude you, all of the waste was stored in 13 chambers mocked here in red. and it's all still lying around today. the for all 1st stop, we're getting as close to the nuclear waste as possible. i susan, this is a charging chamber. charging simply means loading up of, of there was a crane and then came to waste the ups and then come to mind, you could open the shaft here. and then the barrels of waste square brought in one

by one through this whole street into the storage chamber directly underneath us. i never was come, i do this different times for, for now. do you like right under us? been going to yes, the highest point of the cone is probably right under a piece of paper from kia. these barrows were regular metal knots made to holding radiation. many may have been damaged while being brought in. and it's unclear how radioactive, the inside of the chamber actually is understand here, where maybe 14 meters above the waist and the meter doesn't detect anything. and gotten aulshlag for us to know. right. and it says 0.000 mike receiver and which is due to the salt strong shielding effect. right down here. we're exposed to less radiation then at the information center that kind of feeding us kind of almost corvettes as to about target and to enforce the half month air. yours is suppose to cosmic radiation from space terrestrial radiation from the earth plus the device is all around to you. really ation comes from everywhere,

but here you're completely shielded from it by the salt. i'm sure i'm just a 5 sold also conducts heat. well, meaning that one radioactive waste can cool down without damaging the sold will significantly on top of that country truck. it can expand and float ceiling and filling cavities of its own accord, making a talk to accommodate so great in theory, if there wasn't a, there's not so tiny problem with the water. because the biggest problem, the us a has is that there was a lot of water that's leaking into the tunnels. they more than $500.00 leaks in the mines. the also including the chambers with radioactive waste could fill up with this water. to stop that from happening, the operator b g e is collecting it. we're headed to the main. what's the collection point inside the mind? when you open up there, you can see stalactites on the ceiling. it's definitely went there. that's, that's the liquid we're catching. and the storage base and this is,

this is kind of one type of food to here. i'm surprised that i can offer the facts here. it's on what's coming out here now is water that fully saturated with salt type. that means no more rocks salt is able to dissolve into water because there's already so much of it does come to an entries here from outside of the mind. and that's what's flowing along here into the space and is about 90 percent of the solutions that comes into the mind. we're going to get at ocean's cost today about 12000 liters of water pour in every day. it has to be checked for contamination. this water is non contaminated and can be exempted by the radiation protection agency and it can be transported above ground within the remaining 10 percent of the water to come on. i'm interested in other points of the mind, some of it close to the waste. so a small part of the water is also contaminated. right now, it's not as if this water can somehow get into the environment, right? but as we can't guarantee that this is what i mean. so we have to remove the wing, start from the speaking with somebody else,

but the incoming water is not the only problem. when the salt mine was operational, nobody stored this would become a storage place for nuclear waste to maximize profits. many tunnels with close to each of the safety precautions and support structures were reduced to a minimum to mine as much sold as possible. the pressure of the rock surrounding the sol constantly pushes against the mine and causes cracks. that's why over 90 percent of the mine have to be filled up with sold and concrete to stabilize. and also why a total of over $600.00 people walk here to one is a. and so to secure the mind the, the big question really is how could this have happened mode to dom august. then they also wanted to save money by reusing a mine. is that correct in athens? conch ellis heads the us, the information center. i come to a backbone months and that seems like some mine was closed in $9064.00 because it

was no longer profitable. this just happened to be when the government was looking for a waste facility and todd into pretty shocked. and they ultimately decided on the asa to had to i don't the most the decision that's always been controversial due to the geology guys, the minds of relatively advanced angels on the risk of leg phone losing. so what's the stomach? some of these people know back then that they might be problems who may have a problem and it had to is this, they could potentially have another one in but ultimately came to a different assessment ease of use if they had been told about the risks starting back from the growing nuclear needed a dumping ground fast, so the risk sweat don't played the entire project was supposed to be a quick fix. with little 2 knows thoughts sped for the long term consequences. at 1st also was declared to only be research storage facility use for medical and scientific waste only. but actually almost all of the intermediate and low level

waste from west german nuclear reactors was then dumped here in the beginning of the waste was stacked. but after a while, barrels while latrice dumped into the mind to reduce the radioactive exposure of the truck jarvis, dump trucks also drove over the waste, damaging many of the barrels. energy companies didn't pay anything to store their waste until 1975. and we don't even exactly know which type of waste was dumped because the documentation was very poorly and vaguely done in 1988, what stop leaking in multiple mining soft collapse. but the public is only informed about the magnitude of the problem almost 10 years later. in 1997 to operate the suggests closing the mind with all of the waste inside. the plan does not mention anything about the long term safety and possible contamination in 2008. the news breaks that vote has been coming into contact with radioactive waste for years.

pools of contaminated water had been collecting right in front of the chambers containing it and the operator had disposed of it inside the mind without permission. in 2010, it turns out that 10 times more intermediate nuclear waste is stored and then was estimated before years of political mishaps involving nuclear power up, prompt protest across germany. finally in 2013, the lex after isn't acted. the government decides that the mind is too dangerous and the waste needs to be taken out. i happy about that. i know there's a lot of civilization was going to be that the problem is a big removal like this has never been done before. the 1st thing we need to do is explode a 13 in placement chambers,

someone up to determine the composition of the surrounding rock and the condition of the waste. extensive the up phillip, since many of the barrels that damaged no human can enter the chambers, they have to be surveyed by remote controlled cameras like this one and retrieved by remotely operated machines. and you shop must be built to transport the barrels out of the household owns of china, and what is the boundaries presented by the hill? because then since that's the mind continues to change, the structure you happen to lose. and so we have leaks that present a certain danger or not. it's why we need to be aware that time is running out the on stomach them dockens it's type is on the subaru. that's what, okay, worst case scenario would be leaking that would no longer be manageable. this through the so we have to close the lines with radioactive waste, the remaining underground lighting building. when done the ready light to go to it'll could eventually come up to the service charges. and even if we ignore that frightening scenario, all of this is going to cost a lot of money. just preparing for the removal will cost and estimated 4700000000

euros. and that does not include any of the retrieval itself, which is scheduled to start in 2033. the waste is supposed to be sorted in an interim overground facility and then transported to, well where exactly that's who called what we need is the final storage place for the radioactive waste log, which we don't have yet to be the up to the blinking. the size so, so now we have to store device to temporarily. and that's, that's, that's the issue that is causing a lot of device right now. we have an open potential planets. yeah. and they also hills for $500.00. we'd like to set up a treatment facility under temporary storage facility here on the upper bundles on laga. when the switch lago, the ssl plan, all those are, is local opposition to the location who's couldn't because the awesome mine isn't in a super remote area. only about 2 kilometers selves of it is the village of handling them just at home to approach this group that type of e g, a co founded,

a watch that is only on the shelf. there's supposed to be a new shaft and a new to me, and these are considerable additional burdens for this region, hospital and food. these are your, it's a symbol of a time when you create a power, how to succeed, no matter what. and the long term consequences of the new technology will lots we don't played or ignored the several, many different methods of contraception. the most common is sterilization. a surgical procedure that makes a man or woman inside the child. the u. n. has estimated that move in 200000000 women weld wide have been sterilized that so well in good if it's a personal decision. but for sterilization is still widespread.

lisa squiggle has always dreamt of having a big family. but after giving birth to 2 daughters, she was unable to have any more children or fallopian tubes had been severed by white doctors during surgery and against her. well. i had never told my family up until that point either. and this was just a couple years ago. so when i came across that report i felt validated, and i knew that what happened to me wasn't right. i just, i didn't know where i could share it was a who, who is going to believe me. the canadian government estimates that at least 12000 indigenous women had been forcibly sterilized. since the 19 seventy's list has convinced that's a figure as far higher and that the practice is still going on. they are sitting with a group of 4 or 5 women. i mean, each of those women know somebody from the community who never had

a child. why i need us. and canada used to have legislation that allowed to force the realization of indigenous women. this was repealed in the early 19 seventy's family, but after the birth of her daughter, i need a pension. you've had an experience that left her body violated and her feeling too ashamed to talk about it. you really need to get to you to have started. i said why i want to have more babies. i'm only 26, i want more. and i did it because that nurse was like, really, she goes, you're going to get cancer in this and that, and i'm states like scary me. women have filed lawsuits against the authorities and a number of regional provinces including 5 class actions. the federal government has provided a $6000000.00 fund for survivors, but new legislation criminalizing forces that realizations is making very sluggish

progress. say those affected. but there is change ahead. we're on a trip with indigenous couple, james and anthony to the human reservation. james works there as a dr. wiley's husband anthony runs the new midwives program. projects like this one or at least getting some government funding like this is literally the domain of the birth of the program. it's not just about 1st thing a baby. it's about doing so in a way that is culturally save that is respectful. the spirit, the child the men are putting up a t p for a very gifted craft and goes with every time to help revive old traditions. oh, and the midwives program has a personal side for him. his wife is currently pregnant again and done like the 1st time was certainly not be giving birth in the clinic or indigenous people, a hospital is not a safe. you go there,

you're already for your records that the worried about many levels of assault abuse . so for this next child was really hoping that things can go normally, naturally, and there's no need for a hospital because of all the stress and difficulty of trauma, that's come from that 1st alonda is expecting in 2 months time. she and then meet one of the new midwives atlanta is unable to talk about what was done to her during the birth of her 1st daughter lily. except sexual never be going to a hospital again. we would honestly, the most referred place would be home on friday so that so number one option that we would have to search the finally, the big day has arrived for jody gadbois cardinal to this is our 1st day on the job as a do on the on the reservation for her a labor of love that enables her to keep her communities traditions alive.

so we've been asking for guidance from our knowledge keepers and our elders, you know, on, on how to run this program. you know, and in a good way and bringing verse back to our community. when our women are in labor, we find them down and smudged them as they're going through their own contractions . that children should be born on the land. because their ancestors were born on the line, there were born in the hospitals. a stone is passed around the women talk frankly about their hopes and fears. in there. my mother had a very traumatic delivery so dramatic that she decided to never have children again. so they never sterilize her, but they sterilize her up here. it

takes a little bit of way of being afraid. you know, to become a mother that we have guidance and women like you. the midwives program is still in its infancy, but with the community soon to get its own new birth thing house. there's a spirit of optimism, will bring healthy children and healthy content community and not through the generations. and people will begin to hill jodi knows she faces high hopes and challenges, and giving women here renewed courage and confidence will also protect them from injustice. the young's english headaches have rendered him almost deaf and barely able to walk. but as a neighbor accompanies him to the doctor, they 1st have to go to the local recycling facility to return plastic bottles. it's

the only way he can afford to see a doctor when yeah, the big data is yeah. then get there been going to my friend is probably on the isn't insured out, but the treatment is expensive. but unfortunately the clinic has this program with free treatment. if you could like plastic, like the program, as the 2 men went out specially to collect the plastic and all that, the 10 bottles are in them. a voucher from the recycling dealer. it's worth the equivalent of 10 euro cents. and the treatment for oh yeah, yeah. the idea was born at this clinic in chun drawers south of the capital jakarta for its founder. dr. use of new ground health is intrinsically linked to environmental protection. and it's people in, during the worst hardship who he wants to help, most of the environmental programs are often to obscurely

wooded for people to understand that. so my i do with the plastic button. this is like cutting 2 birds with one stone. i mean, the people i can help comes to me and then we also get talking about environmental protection. that every day the doctor sees about 30 to 40 patients like who young, who are unable to afford insurance and therefore depend on vouchers. doctor use of treats people here for free together with 8 other doctors treating cops fever and injuries. and there was no charge for the medication besides the dental my house. but i will use that kind of solidarity system with the patients who are able to pay more if i adjust the price, the treatment is kind of so to that and they know that they helping to finance the system here at the clinic. um, i'll set you an idea of how many in the area feel abandoned amid the mass of trash, not least since the only landfill side shut down due to over feeling. now people

through their waste into the river or burn it in their yards. there's no garbage pickup. indonesia is drowning in waste. these images from the island of bali recently went around the world. a beach covered not in sand, but in plastic, a sea of trash swept in from around the world. dr. plastic as he is affectionately known here is determined to make a change and turn the next generation into a budding environmental list. once a month, use it from brother visits in elementary school with waste sorting something most children in indonesia have never heard of today. the classes, learning about why plastic bags and boxes have to be disposed of properly? no, no it's yeah, and you're in when i was a child myself here in chandra, we still have to actually get the rivers some and some like once

a day with drowning and plastic that people just throw away trash where they lined up the site. that's why i come to see the children here in the hope that everything will change for the better cause i mean, i do after that kind of time, we've got something though, and upbeat outlook sec keeps him committed. the older pupils are learning about clean drinking water. another thing that can not be taken for granted in indonesia, which is why so many people buy bottled water, i found that he may be saw. the doctor gives them a helpful to new. i gave you life. i, water and bottles, i consume a lot of plastic, but if i just fill it my own bottle, i cause a lot less waste it and then in gabby and then you don't to yourself inspires me to protect the environment. just 10 percent of plastic waste and indonesia is recycled.

here in chandra, dr. use of patients alone, bringing up to 400 bottles a day, then they're shredded and sold the recycling facilities. people are always lined up to see doctor use of to day he's treating patients at the village elders. house free of charge for anyone with plastic waste and in the eighty's 69 years old also wants to see him because of muscle pain. while i was in the mosque for tuesday, prayers or village elders said we should to like bottles that he said the doctor is coming and doing a free check ups today. he is in

the middle of his hosts living room. the doctor examines his patients and prescribes the medication. some are referred to as clinic, like 18 who will be getting a more detailed checkup at a charge of 10 bottles, and she'll get a little more privacy to my side at the same data. i can only hope that people become more careful. they appreciate the problems associated with plastic waste. i don't think about dr. use of new grandma called his clinic cairo pon c, hot meaning, healthy hope, a name reflecting his commitment to improving the condition of the environment. and his patients looking some more surprising insights and inspiring solutions from around the world. the get to meet the people facing climate change, then follow us on facebook. instagram,
