11:15 am
us, but we know we'll have to see what happens in the future. the same. just stay with us on the line because we're getting reports that the bundle there, streaming for testers, have about at least on the presidential palace. and that if that is the key is that would be the credits to what you just said earlier. this name that uh sure, cuz he knows indeed i left the presidential palace and uh, and uh, gone to a quote unquote, a safe place. and these are the light images that we are getting. i'm assuming that you can see this as well as us name, live, images of the fair to be still looking for testers storming the uh, the, the, the presidential palace. can you tell us a bit about where the presidential palace ease and house protest as well able to potentially storage? the thing with this, i am looking at this, which is right now because i have been online to use. so i have no idea. is this
11:16 am
a presidential palace or is, is it the finally citizen? because that's a, those are different, you know, in different locations. right. i've just been told that this is the, the, probably the best of the residents. i've just been inform. it's a prime minister's residence. so my interest most likely, right, well, i'm, as, as yes in this, it is the global on and that was the plan. i'm in this the, that they are going to list each to going on hold on an eve. and also after she left one of the one, the army and kind of mutually protection against their procedures was already drawing as far as i know. so it is not surprising that they, i mean the, they do, they do just on the right. and we just looking at some of the footage from binder there. stevie and you saw that this name that even the anchor is a pattern. see, could not believe the visuals that they are seeing. i mean as a bundled they, she can, you yourselves. imagine the visuals that'd be withdrawing on the or do you think
11:17 am
that something like that could have it all been possible under the government affair because, you know, can you hear me? it's the same. or i believe a connection to this name has broken, but just in case you are joining us now, just to update you of events that have taken place at lightning speed in a binding others. we have visuals off student for testers storming the residents of a prime minister. shake. i've seen a major pulse that jake has he not had earlier. i left a residence and was evacuated to add, quote, unquote, safe place. we don't know where that is. this is the reporting that was coming in earlier from a fee and now visual that you're going to try and bring to you again off protest as storming the residents of prime minister shape. because the, not all of this, i made a report that the bottom of this army chief of buckeye, or was, i'm on,
11:18 am
is expected to address the nation at any moment. we are talking, but this name colleen, who was a john misgiving and eggs island, sweden, and he said that he had spoken to an army general and a named army general. and based on what he learned from these gentlemen, he was told that the army is gone. and feed drawing up plans and again, just to add, this is all i can find. but what you, what this team told us is that the army general told him and the army is gone. and the drawing up plans for a transitional government, a civilian transitional government, what shape that's gonna take is as yet unknown. if this will even happen at all or not, is as yet unknown. i believe we can go back to do to test name the same. i the line with you what i was broken, national and find back. we're just gonna try and show i'll be was were just joining us visuals coming in from bundle. there's of a mosse of protest as, and i would imagine this is outside the prime minister's residence at the same. i'm
11:19 am
guessing you're looking at these visuals as well. can you tell us if it looks like this is just student put test as all other bung that issue citizens as well there. uh uh i guess uh is it on there because as a, as the kind of how many people 1000 people were marching through dock and uh, i mean, visa on the left place. yeah. i mean, can you remember, can you, can you tell us about the moment because we were talking about the student for the test is right. this thing the, what we've been talking about this for a number of days. i knew of also been reporting on this. what was initially a protest against government quotas for a government jobs, and essentially a student led protest, it seems to have moved into a wider move. what, what is the point that you think was the tipping point? government and really what do you person that was there 2 things. one,
11:20 am
the moment this off to be peaceful, protest is on the street so long that they should catch when, because of let's be, they belong to the game or a but, you know, the, the army, which you said, based on the information that you have from the ground which is not negotiating a transition of government. the army was appears to have been complet complicit in that by and then sending that cracked on wasn't it because we spoke the student protest as and they were talking about the army fighting, allegedly live rounds and to protest us in addition to the response from the bundle dish police and other bottom interview over there. additional like the bunk mothers bought a god. so the army which itself appears to at least by my face, the had been complicit in the, in this track down again, students is now playing the make up. it will be yours if you call this is needed here, because both of these are the has all the information of elections that really
11:21 am
works as a deterrent in holiday. the he's and one of the key stories doing the prizes was extremely when a h d, don't you really investigate, you need reported on the use of you when was the goal is being used against a protest is and you in taking your very strong critical standing is that and that sent out a message from the international community that everyone is watching. everyone is monitoring the behavior of the army. and that sort of worked as a teacher, and i guess contribute it to it's, you know, down stepping back and not trying to take the role of the media. and it's interesting, you say that because we were talking about that moment when those you and mach vehicles appeared on the streets of taca and then uh, questions of bose to the united nations about it. i remember you saying that basically the international reaction, so really had been tapered to put that might lead to what was happening at in
11:22 am
bung that they do. you still maintain about that? the reaction with generally tepid to yes, the years of generally, the nation of reaction has to be done. what i'm just seeing right now on, on the, on the tv screen is, is it the resolution that has being carried out and prosecuted by that the belong to dish. without much intern issue a simple, without any support from any, you know, international actors, really? every given one it was saying from, from, from directing to then, you know, you're, you're talking about the student protests and then the track down against the student for testers, which led to nearly $200.00. that's not all of them. student protest as it must be said, but the very fact that it appears to be impossible, wonder doesn't often to a mouse movement what suggest a huge your level of disgruntlement and discontent with the shake. se not
11:23 am
government? would that be a fair reading of the situation? yes, absolutely, and i should also note here that the protest is the student protested us who are on the streets and well, i think we can now the in his see that over to you. she can see now i'm in the, with the same kids who came off on the streets in the office. 2018 for the safety movement. and this is august, 5th, 2024. and they have uh, successfully tune up the government and the dis romp, ma'am. going to them that the happiness was the anger was, was seating all these years. you know, 1st name, stay with us on the line because i want to provide a bit of a context on a recap essentially for us who might just be joining as the visuals that you're seeing on your screens at the moment. are visuals directly live from bung others
11:24 am
from talk a from it in the vicinity of the prime ministers, residents which appears to have been stalled by not just the student. the test as looking at the visuals, but also ordinary bundled issues. citizens. uh, there are reports that share casino, the prime minister of bung others manage to leave the residents before that and choose a quote unquote in a safe place. and this is, even as the country awaits an address to the nation by the bundle others on the chief box. i was as a mon and we're talking to this name, colleen a john list in, in, in the model in sweden who has been monitoring the situation at the same just for of us. we're just joining us. can you tell us the content of the conversation that you had with an unnamed army general in bundle? there's just the show find, but the insure uh what the officer who was
11:25 am
telling me is that ship seen uh already left uh how long are associated with it? denton was speaking to see if i know what the see if this is the because the associate remains to revisit for security reasons. uh. and then he also said the army is trying to physically be the makeup of a transition of the government. uh, but the outline of that light exactly, is that from the showroom. it is going to look like you see the iron just to just to be clear. uh, last name. we still don't have any official confirmation that the government officially and has been overthrown. no matter what the visuals are telling us how well that is, that is true. we still do not have any book the shield states. and uh, do i think some sources inside the prime minister's office, not the french news news agency dsp,
11:26 am
and they're saying that they've strong possibility. right? that's, it's a shame because he knows resignation is some of the that's the the we yeah. all right, we leave it there for the moment, the same for later. thanks so much for joining us. uh, from my know in the, in the speed and we're going to keep the on the story. if this name i'm showing, there's not the last time you're spoken at today, i'm sure they'll be more updates as the minutes add on in 2 hours. but thanks so much for joining us today. and if you're just joining us on d. v. been looking at a lot of visuals coming out of buying a there's where it appears that for testers have uh stormed uh the prime minister as a residents in the capital tucker, the prime minister chick has the united is also understood to have left the city for a safe location and we did it also suggesting that she has resigned or still waiting
11:27 am
11:28 am
11:29 am
that's why sandra, respecting nature, studying aids, i mean it's about being up to date with current ideas, technologies. i'm trying to eat co way of life, the environment magazine, the co advocate in 60 minutes on the d. w. the on the long voyage through the ocean. and mother, i'm back with account for a long time. they had to be humans on the journey. but now the premises have become very protect the ocean conservation
11:30 am
11:31 am
a battery actually works. and if you hear a battery, this is probably what comes to mind. this one is rechargeable, and made a lift them. we can make a super simple circuit with a battery. 2 wires and an l. e. d. is seem pretty terms. it but city a stays more controllable. and ernesto julio cosmo is a professor and researcher who has spent the past 12 years focusing on lithium. you bought a lot of energy and you have very small ways. you want to get out all this energy very fast and you're going to go away and not in an explosion. this works to the movement of electrons and ions. electrons are tiny, negatively charged particles that float around. adams. ions are items that have lost or gains an electron. this battery contains lithium graphite cobalt and the liquid. batteries have negatively and positively charged size. lithium ions and
11:32 am
electrons on one side of the battery when connected to a circuit electronics travel outside the battery along the circuit, generating a lot tricity. the electricity goes from negative to positive flowing through the l . a. b in the middle. meanwhile, what's left in the battery is lithium ion. that's where the lithium ion battery gets its name. the ions travel inside the battery from the graphite to the co bulk . when it's recharging, they go in the other direction. but batteries basically destroy themselves in the process, either they lose their ability to create electricity or chemicals build up on the electrodes. as batteries age, the electrons trouble less than less efficiently and the battery loses its capacity . the metals can also grow into spike's, which can short circuit the battery, in the worst case of battery failure, big night and explode. so a good battery can store a lot of energy without exploding and doesn't quickly lose its capacity. one of the many reasons why lithium makes a great battery, is that unlike lead or acid,
11:33 am
let's humans only mildly talks in these new lithium batteries can store more energy per graham than any other battery ever invented. what makes with themes so great? weird lee is that it's super reactive. so i got my hands on some lithium, which should be 99 percent pure. going to try and put it in some water and see what happens. but the safety 1st. it's a really soft metal, so it, so it'd be completely breakable just with my fingers. wow, look at that. so that's the lift them inside. it's reacting with the oxygen in the air so fast that the metal is already darkening. we're going to try and put this little bit of lithium in some water and see what happens. okay? so, moment of truth, ooh. to understand why this happens, we need to look at electrons again, lithium loses electrons and creates ions really easily. that means that the ions
11:34 am
inside the battery move around really quickly and efficiently. that makes the battery is able to charge faster, have a longer live site goes and above all store more energy. aside from its ability to store energy with him is also a winter when it comes to weight. all of these can be used in batteries, but they would make the batteries heavier. that's because the lithium is the least dense metal on the planet. the fact that it's so extremely light makes it the best option for electronics. one of the main reasons computers in this size instead of the massive machines they were in the eighty's, is the invention of the lithium ion battery. it's also by far the best option for electric cars, buses, and plants, because the light of the vehicle, the less energy it takes to move it around. and that's why our appetite for lithium is skyrocketing. according to the international energy agency, demand for lithium could increase between 13 and 51 times by 2040 australia is the
11:35 am
top producer of lithium, followed by july. but other countries around the world are ramping up production to meet the max of global demand in 2022 global within production. was that a 130000 metric tons? that's quadrupled from 2010. when production was a little over 28000 metric tons. the good news is that we technically have enough of it in the ground, according to some estimates around $80000000.00 metric tons of around 10 kilos per person on the planet. but just because those white gold is abundant doesn't mean it's easy to get, getting it out of the ground can be slow and costly. and the mining and refining processes are concentrated in a few countries. that means that the demand for it is quickly pacing the current available supply. this bottleneck is also raising the price after 2020 prices of raw materials went up for a while, others came down, lithium just continue to increase, and mining itself comes with its own host of problems extracting lithium from rock
11:36 am
or requires a lot of energy often powered by fossil fuels, what's better is extracting it from brian water that's expose minerals to day. the last just process is to put a these brang. well that in ready shout all bones which are extremely large. let's say the 1000 times a football stadium, brian mines used thousands of leaders of water for one ton of lithium into a lithium mining is already led to water shortages in the area and diverted water from local communities. the mines can also cause soil degradation and disrupt local ecosystem. and then there's the whole problem of what happens to the batteries after we're done with them. although the lithium itself can be used, lithium batteries, deteriorate and most of them land in the trash. one obvious solution is to create infrastructure to recycle lithium batteries. that's what happened with lead batteries due to government regulation. 99 percent of lead batteries in the us are
11:37 am
recycled? recycling with families entirely new technology. but it's catching up the dam, ion battery recycling is expected to increase to $420.00 killer tons per year by 2030 up from the current 50 killer tons per year. better lithium batteries are also on the wet cobalt which is mines and very problematic conditions could be replaced with nickel menu square iron, or the graphite in the battery could be swapped for graphed, feet. it's made by taking the layer of graphite just like this, and making it progressively spinner and thinner until it turns into a single layer of carbon atoms. graphic is the strongest material ever discovered, and more conductive than graphite. you can also make the inside of the battery solid instead of liquid to make it less likely to explode. most of this is still in the lab, but these advances could make the battery safer, longer lasting and storm are energy, which could also make them more attractive for storing large amounts of renewable energy on
11:38 am
a grid scale. so it certainly doesn't look like our addiction to lithium is going away any time soon because lithium dominates the battery worlds and for good reason, [000:00:00;00] the ones that thailand is mount is it. the rock is one of the country's most affected by climate change worldwide. temperatures of over 50 degrees celsius to becoming more common, making people sick. ali, who same is on his way to the local well around him. signs of climate change are everywhere. okay. there's no water, the well is dry. he tells his son. so this used to be a rocks most fertile region, but the country has suffered
11:39 am
a severe drought for years in a row of the 60 families in the village, 40 of left ivy. hussein's family is one of the few still here at the bottom of just 4 years ago. we farm the land here, but drought has turned our land into the desert. we have to give a title without farming, there was no income. his 5 children face an uncertain future. the ground water here is salty. iraq is less and less fresh water in the countryside and in the cities. climate change is to blame, as are the water policies of neighboring iran and turkey. the 2 countries have built a numerous stands leaving too little water for a rock down stream because of the salty ground water, the children have sores and open wounds on their skin. is a 2000, i don't know a long list, it's very painful. sometimes they are close to stick to the wings, which makes it even worse. so,
11:40 am
rising temperatures are also contributing to the spread of disease like leach, but now uses transmitted by sam slice tight. i thought i need some and high and being 2nd, transmits the infection which causes fever. it's happened a lot here in the region. ali who's seen and his daughter is newer and sondra our lucky be a rocky red crescent, has come to their village, nor is hands are terribly. h e. sondra often finds it hard to walk because of the pain. she has to be sure by now you says an insidious disease. it affects the skin, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. the edge i ever see touched it and he was a high, high dollar. how came up here on the laptop and his team are seeing more and more cases like this. they want to raise awareness. medical help is expensive and the newest hospital is 50 kilometers away. the rocky red crescent regularly travels across the country, visiting villages,
11:41 am
q and lulu. i shed the people are as little better off the village community has dug a well. she need to jump to the the ground water contains too much salt and solver . what's the question that this facility has changed their lives? it supplies the village and neighboring villages with clean water. 2000 leaders per hour are the sale unaided and to meet fit to drink height or how to him. and his team have distributed over 60 water tanks and the region i'm hoping on. the facility is a lifetime for people here to read. christian tend to partners are working to build a series of facilities to alleviate the water shortage. how would you fly for that? what so every week they check the salt content every week. they have to change the filters. there's no alternative the village needs more than one facility like this. many surrounding villages suffer from a lack of drinking water and water for dish washing and showering. yeah,
11:42 am
that was the oldest to him on the way of living with climate change. awareness is important for children to, to hide on her to him and his team. talk about infectious diseases and show them how to wash their hands properly. that can save lives on it. well, so far they're open no debts, but we're seeing that the lack of drinking water, drought, and distorted if occasion are causing a rise and skin diseases and poisoning you. what does what i did and some of the co now how do you know i'm about to deal to unlock the some of the, to just add them to, for them outside of head to show, according to the un here. rock is the 5th most vulnerable country, the climate breakdown. it also has a rapidly growing population. in that case, upper for the sample that we need to reinforce our systems to cope. we've been devastating consequences of climate change on our health. so the show systems that are where the over whelmed and not with the climate change, that would be totally co ops if we don't know to prefer them better. and if we
11:43 am
don't send finance of resources, ali who's saying would like to stay here with his family, but the conditions are getting increasingly difficult. positive. my husband is how the water you can see he was brought to us by car, 1000 leaders every week for us in our animals. that's not not like a lead. hussein's family could soon become climate refugees in their own country, like one and a half 1000000 people in iraq. the pollution resulting from burning oil gas and cold kills 5000000 people. yeah, that smelled and obesity, malaria, or alcohol binding fossil fuels, produces toxic particles,
11:44 am
tiny enough to enter the lungs. this particular message is among the main causes of strokes, cancer and diabetes. it's time fiction for pedro amount to a rebate. daily activities like climbing stairs pose a big challenge. i have a lung disease. i'm suffering my struggle to breathe properly, to wherever the 74 year old retiree is one of hundreds of thousands of people in lima suffering from respiratory diseases ranging from acute infections to long and heart complaints. city authorities say hundreds of people die every year as a result of respiratory disease. the peruvian capital has
11:45 am
a big health problem. pedro met a rebate, has a weekly check up at a hospital, the care and medication he receives here as an approved his quality of life. most of young beneficiary. good. what are you doing? perfect by financing i know please remove your mask. i think one more of them better, we have many patients, like pedro mazda rebate, have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. what seal pd, and they have those here, you and in other hospitals, in lima. and then the castle is what's interesting is that many of them have never smoked. we'll see they're only very little. yes. the disease is similar. does that sound in other countries among heavy smokers and that is ignored because we believe it is linked to environmental pollution. so, so the conclusion borne out in many studies, i mean only think that because there's 2 of us going up on the field level, that's lima, it has more than $10000000.00 residents. air pollution levels are high mainly from traffic in industry.
11:46 am
the in 2022 lima record the 2nd highest levels of particulate matter pollution in latin america. after santiago did chilly, but experts say air quality measurements in lima are inadequate. now the situation is likely far worse than previously thoughts. peruvian company kyra is looking for solutions. it is developed low cost measuring devices and a digital tool aimed at making information on air pollution and lima accessible to all the success. i'm also wondering if we zoom in on lima. we look at the information that's publicly available in the surveillance network. the green is good, yellow montrose and orange and red batch of a whole lot. the most critical value is 2.5, which means particulate matter of 2.5. my chromatism must be no, and those are the finest particles,
11:47 am
the very small ones into the respiratory tract and then penetrate the human body some into the bloodstream. both of those of wasn't in using this data. so the authorities have taken steps, reduce emissions, and heavily affected areas. some parts of the storage center are now close to vehicles but more needs to be done is this. environmental activists have spent years re forcing the hills around lima to pacific ocean on one side. and the mountains on the other or the capitals, only natural borders vegetation here traps dust particles and suspended matter helping to improve air quality. they have also installed a network of fog catchers. these collect water from the regions dense winter fog.
11:48 am
this hello. this is crystal clear water. yes, i was not a lot more than we diverted into collection points like this one here. hold on and use it for drip irrigation lee. most green long has been subject to deforestation for more than 400 years. new settlements and industries continue to be constructed on the outskirts of the city. the long term systematic deforestation has had a negative impact on the cities. health. local reforestation work has held kirby erosion, but it's not enough. we're not experts. a far wider scale effort is required they do need to prove produce is less than 0.08 percent of globalization. so the enough, and so if one day lima were to no longer met many gas or pollutants, the plan would still be polluted. but make, i see, hold up and then we alone may not stop pollution or climate change afford effect
11:49 am
and we will be the ones who suffer your companies. you much a bit of his homework and most of which shared with his doctors help pedro much at rebate as managed to reduce them of his pain. the to now enjoy a short walk around his neighborhood and some independence. now more than ever, there was an urgent need to reduce emissions and improve air quality in lima. and across the world, the stain balanced, positioning the arrow, and drawing the boat at full gallop, i suppose to relinquish his control to her horse. spade. he knows exactly what he's doing and that let's or concentrate on her stance and taking aim
11:50 am
the most. indeed, i only take my hands off the horse if i trust and completely, that's the most important thing. this trust has had time to evolve. our 1st met spade when he was to and she was 7 since then the to have been inseparable growing up in the country side of northern japan and i only prefecture . they share a passion for yellow spending japanese mounted archery centuries ago. yeah, boose and it was thought to be good practice for the battle field, but her gelding spade is far too peace. loving for that one. okay, so you'd probably run away from the enemy picking the smith the foot. archery is no longer an art of war. and the ritual and ceremonial aspects of
11:51 am
your boost to me aren't taken all that seriously anymore either. was a normal day. that's a really huge starts. you have. it's been ages since i've seen any that. so i look at a 50 percent. ok here in rude japan. it was to me is experiencing a revival as a leisure support. women like all you, if we stay in the early twenties are reinterpreting a centuries old tradition. the nation of that high high parts. we might look at me in this direction, i saw, so that's right, just like that. so you have to stay flexible when trainer or you could come a more, a started out 15 years ago, mounted archery was still a male domain. on the saturday i'm assuming is i had to put up with
11:52 am
a lot back then they told the women had no business being here and just say if i ask you all this, i'm in the sort of the even side. i don't want to even hear the words. yep. with somebody coming out of your mouth. got you all the time. it difficult about talking to you and you're right about the mountain archery might have died out in japan if it weren't for these young women's. it's susie athens, japan has an aging dwindling population. young people are drawn to the cities, always lose his passion for your boots, and that is what keeps her in the countryside of the them on the bus. both the other, some of those things. great. but more people are becoming interested in. yep. losing it again. still more, what do you tell me about them? but it seems like it has less appeal for boys waiting for the party equal to the optimal. it will probably soon be an all female sport. uh, other than one level cutting that's up. i don't know if it comes with
11:53 am
a lot of it's given. the family has always supported her passion. she's been winning competition since 10th grade. does her mother is selling the garment for her next event from chemo know fabric. i always to say wants to dazzle at the tournament the which one do you want? when are the most gifts coming? will give you a sunday. then this one's for sunday. they're able to get used to that. i'm gonna have to see on the man looks aren't my style. pink is out of the question. so many pulled out last night. the small town of toyota has boldly proclaimed the tournament to be the world championship. somewhat wishful thinking on the part of the organizer gets from abroad,
11:54 am
rarely make their way here. but for iris to say such competitions are crucial for the sports future. if you have wisdom, it is to survive. it has to look good. so the hicks and you could come up today, the archers used to pick themselves rags before they went into battle created. and men within that way do the same. now in this cause we have done this in the, the competition is almost exclusively female. to rules requires 3 shots at full gallop. the archers have just fractions of the 2nd to aim the
11:55 am
show. that's exhausting. the move them, it's not over for you yet. there's still another round, it sounds of the, one of the chimes of your boost to me is that it's a sport that's open to everyone to just take on your medical women and men of all ages. you can model assuming they're brave enough to attempt the wilds right and ready to compete against the very best. the, the honor that once again goes to ice lucy, the would you like move insights and solutions from around the world? if you want to meet the people, flight takes climate change visit to us on facebook. if you want the story behind the headlines,
