12:36 pm
but some of them afraid there is a lot of fear. the fear is quite justified. even along the border with norway bush, it has been known to stage disruptions. now the balance observer reports, and we haven't seen cables on substitute cables that are kept, we have seen nothing of critical infrastructure. we have seen that the russian orthodox church and that is very closely linked with the russian military intelligence. tried to establish contexts with uh, certain kind of that of the areas of the and the way to the society, including those working with sub c technologies. and so on, how did you, the long arm of moscow even reaches it to norway? for reagan sees another example on her way home from work every day. i um and so this is the main entrance to the russian console its and right in front and see how memorial to the russian to position liter licksey. nobody who died in russian prove

12:44 pm
physically and mentally. i wake up every morning feeling a lie. this is where i belong. this interview. thank yes, that's me. do that. but the deployment always carries the danger of death. 49 year old lawn school, philadelphia, whose father was also a foreign need. jeanette, that's fort on several friends without the fear is always there. we've kind of to 9 up at least. but we just get through this, i'll call them because we have a mission to accomplish. well, opens up the idea making europe the world 1st climate neutral continent by 2050. that's what the european union is aiming for. and spanish engineering and media, my euro believes his country is on the right track. spain is your frontrunner when it comes to the use of renewable fuels. spanish airplanes are increasingly using
12:45 pm
bio kerosene to conserve resources. so next time you're making fries think twice about the oil you're flying out. it could help to power plants with more eco friendly. few of this aircraft runs entirely on biofuel obtained from both frying oil. scientists find it during emissions test, but it's a double wind for the claimant. but let's start from the beginning. a visit to the gas station images. here customers can find in fact, from deep fat fryer and return for gas vouchers. what used to be a waste product is never volume a raw material for the company. they used oil is collected and ship to cost of hannah to a brand new refinery, which produces more sustainable use
12:46 pm
either to react or the money to kick them in to see if they compare its components from left over cooking oil into the same components that we have and petroleum phase fuel. yes, and there's some type of formula kindly clear on the end product is exactly the same make. i mean, if it's like $71.00 only a few months after opening the plant is already operating at full capacity. as of today alone, and we produce to 8 cubic meters every hour. that's 8000 meters of sustainable kerosene in our running as a frying oil is not a likely scenario for the time being of the manufacturer. see, there's huge potential in collection points like these. the name was frequency and so you have an f one needs to recognize the importance of collecting households. cocaine oil today. 75 percent of it is connected, but it can have
12:47 pm
a 2nd life. if he does a renewable view, it do not tell him that either case come, but they don't come with the let her know. i was just a few kilometers from the gas station at madrid. airport fuels and the new refinery is already in use to show that kerosene derived from cooking. oil works well in the engines by 2013 by b. b o wants to fuel 10 percent of its fleet with a new kerosene kind of vicious target. or you're not going to know what you need us to do. you show that the q out of 10 children developing a sustainable fuel industry, especially in spam, if you're able to create a ticket k important for us to make a vacation cleanup. because looking at the country where the edge, if you're at, so when we have many islands that we need to connect to the mainland that they would of by getting less, denise less give it a go next. that the more sustainable kerosene b from chip that for example, still costs a good 3 times as much. however, prices should fall with increased supply. a new refineries being built in under
12:48 pm
lucio turning even more waste into fuel. it will be the largest of its kind in your faith is vicki. ballast must be processed by extra volumes, as well as animal salad and waste from the cultural and food industry to something that's putting into the, into the argument that you incidentally, the largest investor in this plant is from up dobby. better known, of course, for its oil business, it seems they to see a profitable future and sustainable fuels. another driving force behind the development is the use. it stipulates the aircraft must be fueled with 2 percent sustainable heat decency of 6 percent by 2013. and by 2050, that figure should rise to 70 percent in this lab. so it took madrid,
12:49 pm
the fuel company ripped. so there's researching which raw materials other than crude oil could be used for a patient. and that didn't get the most capable this they might, they do. yeah. these have if trees have to be cut down, for example, here, we can use all the material left on the ground at e. com and convert it into renewable fuels. frank oil do is try to test it and waste oil for many. a tutor stand already makes its way to the recycling plant . the german aerospace center has we searched the environmental effect of the fuel using a research aircraft. the experts that examined exhaust fumes from larger commercial aircraft. the 1st fuel, conventionally, the 2nd field entirely with a new alternative fuel made from wendover, cooking oil. for example. the fruit missile,
12:50 pm
we weren't able to show that sustainable ideation fuels have let to know it's part of the mission. isn't this? what uses ice, crystal, st. condensation, trailers. another thing says, warming on tests, we don't see them. there's condensed type, fewer con trails. less greenhouse effect. a legend has it, that's tossing coins over your shoulder in 2 rooms. tribute, fountain rings. good luck. the address has been making sure that plenty of cash lands and the shallow waters now with the 2025, jubilee holy. you, in full swing, the city of rome has been script and published, including the trade he found. we took a look at the renovation of work and his goddess wondering what actually happens to all those coins in this place attracts money, lots of money. it's one of the grandest and most famous fountains in the world,

12:53 pm
a lot of stuff is closed. there are few, a tourist got a, were in the low season, nobody to assemble and to ensure no one makes off with all the cash. everything is overseen by the police. the backs, i'll wait, documented and transported. today's catch was a good knowing t keenan, zip coins. no, but for a make shift for every fountain. next, the money is cleaned counted, and safely deposited on the bank. last year's collections amounted to almost 2000000 euros. so the little temporary pool is point valuable to carry tests. just how valuable becomes clear from a look around the trip to della de la keita or fit to dell of charity in room. here, people in need can obtain services. they couldn't afford otherwise. dental care. training associates and groceries carry test direct to choose the nutrients you
