so basically there to, to use a bio gus in somalia is very viable bio gas technology might still be in its infancy in somalia, but the 1st steps have been taken and for the women in the refugee camps, the transition to clean energy has already had a positive impact on their lives. so biomass evolves with growing resources and using which to make energy. it certainly seems like the perfect alternative port horse and it is currently responsible for 5 percent of energy globally. but is there don't fight how clean is it really? that's a very good question, sandra and one that doesn't really have a simple answer. we want to look now at some of the pros and cons of using biomass to create energy on a log scale as well. so many things. it is neither a miracle kill though a quick fix. and if managed poorly, it can lead to more harm than goods. all the non appeals, not shells, and other left over foods can actually power the device you're watching this on. it's called biomass energy. not just left overs would plants all animal theses can also be a source of electricity or heat. we are surrounde

of charge from a near bike bio gas plant. the women of the camp also provide the fuel for the bio gas production themselves by collecting fresh cow dung. the dung is poured into a trough and stirred before it goes into the by a digestive tabby. the gas produced in the tank is piped underground into the communal kitchen where it provides a hotter and cleaner flame than charcoal. for the around $100.00 women here, the bio gas is liberating in many ways by gus. got bio mass as a great solution for us on a code that we use to worry about would when we had too little to cook with it because it was too dangerous for women to collect word in the jungle home and i in law. now when we come home late, if we can cook our food in the bio gas kitchen without worrying sooner and i had that had to let besides providing free clean energy for cooking. the bio gas plant also helps the farmers in the region. the used kalman year from the bio digestive tank can be dried, crushed into powder and packaged as fertilize it for local thomas one bag c

what is bio mass exactly? it ease plant invest material that can be used as a fuel to produce heat or electricity. but haven't we learned that a bonnie rude and other organic material producers could born to excite emissions? well, that depends on how it is done. so he is a look at of what we have coming up. we'll see how organic material can also be used to make fatty laser. how prov residues can help most the energy greet and how both organic and non organic matter pollute waterways. some months ago the somalia government declared a state of emergency drought there has left more than 2000000 people facing severe water shortages and also hunger the you and food and agriculture in his or should seize the situation is extremely wiring. but on top of the drought, ongoing conflict is forcing people to flick their horns. many have ended up in internal displacement, comes in one come, for example, clean technology is being used to show people are getting the food they need until now, most se, cilia barrow has had t

here the bio gas is liberating in many ways by gus sca bio mass as a great solution for us on a quote that we use to worry about would when we had too little to cook with it. because it was too dangerous for women to collect wood in the jungle home and i am on now when we come home late. if we can cook our food in the bio gas kitchen without worrying sooner and i had that had to laugh. besides providing free clean energy for cooking, the bio gas plant also helps the farmers in the region. the used kalman year from the bio digester tank can be dried, crushed into powder and packaged as fertilizer for local thomas. one bag costs about 30 years. but it's worth it thanks to hire yields and better quality produce. while you're getting higher, my firm used to produce 40 bags of corn with each weighing a 100 kilos. but last season, we're used by our gas fertilizer and we harvested 80 bags of corn without each weighing a 100 kilos with another gun. we expect more this season and look at some ali even though the country often lacks the know how and financial resources for a large scale impleme

bio watch itself, in january i initiated a strategic review of all of our bio surveillance programs, in part based on, you hear the feedback, and you understand, it and you want to do the job as well as you can do it. a part of that is some near term improvements in bio watch. the first of three of those improvements is a greater emphasis on stakeholder engagement, visiting with our local bio watch coordinators. i think you read the g. a. o. report that people meet with them all the time but they were not hearing from the program coordinators level, where the program was going. in the fall last, year i signed out the first cwmd state and local engagement strategy, in a pursuit of the objectives outlining that strategy, we begun our local visits. i was just in columbus, ohio, visiting in cincinnati, cleveland, the columbus bio watch coordinators visited the state lab there just to see how we are doing in a post covid environment, if we can say. that as we move through covid, how they are doing and how our support is. the other pieces, we are working with our federal partners as well a

preparedness is the key watchword for bio defense. for the bioethics and whether or not but prevents or enables the responses in the bio defense world. thank you. >> a big piece of my interest that is what i was talking about earlier when we had different ethical approaches to what may happen, for example with human health research into some of my work logging out research for human embryos and the differences across countries. talking about a bio weapons and the type of work that might be happening. it's a tough line and tied a rope to walk because we have the opportunity. there've been great leaps in the extermination and gene therapy is available. .. some of that research, that really can help. i think it comes back to some of john's point he was making earlier, that if you focus too much on the one thing, the ignorance of other types of approaches, attacks that might happen, that you are focused too much on something that might never happen. and that can really, really hinder the type of research going on. i would love to see more

senator, bio watch provides over 30 u.s. jurisdictions with the capability to detect a bio logical terrorist attack in time to save lives. the technology uses proven it's reliable, the coordination exercises that we do with the state and locals often serve to help improve the coordination of their response. in january, i initiated a strategic review of all of our bio surveillance programs and in part based on the, you know, we hear the feedback and we understand that and and we we want to be do the job as well as we can do it. part of that is a some some near term improvements in bio watch. the first of three of those improvements is a greater emphasis on stakeholder engagement. and visiting with our by local biowatch coordinators. i think you have read in the gao report that they get, you know, our people in the field, meet with them all the time, but they were not hearing from the headquarters level where the program is going and how we're going to support them. in the fall last year i signed out the first cwmd state and l

that was a reason for local pharmacy to say we will invest in exactly this type of a bio gas plant. so that we also have a sustainable source of income for our employees. but that was only the 1st step in making it the village self sufficient. that people fell. time had to build their own power grits and heating network. there. utley fas orga hottest up the local utility company of refuse to provide access to the grid for the local power plant and what they just didn't want it. and they said like this little gallic village, no matter what they do when not giving in of influenced missouri lengthening loss. now the villagers are relaxed about next winter and the threat of a gas shortage in germany. but for the mayor, it doesn't. and there could result in on the i could sit back and say energy transition done finished. but we don't want to do that. we want to show that we can still organize our self sufficient energy cycles that make us less dependent on all the putins and shakes around the world and desired sell. time has shown how it's done and could be a model for communities all ov

so you mentioned bio warfare, biotechnology, bio weapons is covered in my atlantic article and hacking the president and dna. but in fact, every technology and in terms of modern exponential technologies, think of robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, nano technology, genetic, synthetic, biology, internet of things, every single one of these devices can be used for a public good. but there's always the flip side of technology and that they can be used by criminals, by state actors and of course, by terrorist organizations. and is the price and proliferation of these technologies decreases the proliferation increases and the price decreases. there's a growing range of non state actors that can also get access to these tools. one of the things i thought about a bit as we've seen poisonings now used as an active state and you know to some degree terror. and we've seen accusations that rushes president vladimir putin has poisoned and killed both of radioactive elements and you know, other pathogens to do this. i guess my question to mark is, are we at the point where the vis

on the other hand, china has actually more so echoed russia saying that these bio labs are dangerous and they've demanded more explanation as to their purpose from washington. we've also heard from the u. s. s. more traditional enemies like north korea, which is also said that they're a u. s. provocation, and they recognize the independence of the guns convenience people's republics. there. and we've even heard from americans who are already drawing parallels between these bio labs and the business interests of hunter biding nuclear. and i still really scary stuff. i don't know quarter thanks very much. thank you. well thanks for joining us here for the south broadcast live from moscow headquarters art international a busy day for all of us here at moscow. we are back soon with more. ah ah ah do.

s. reportedly planning to transfer their bio labs as well. thomas, from conflict, written ukraine to other countries like bulgaria, the check republic. do you think that could pose any threat to those countries or indeed their neighbors? yeah, it will, i ever well we have this, these american bio lips and strange things to put this way happened. we had this in, in georgia with the center of the last sent on the and yet to bliss. oh, we have this in ukraine. we're, as the russians today, again repeated because there are unusual diseases after the american started the programs. and so this is something normal way it's dangerous. washington previously said that it's had been investing in ukraine's health care system. i'm trying to bring around reforms and not that that seem to be the guise of what is happening here. what do you say when you hear that when you hear us officials saying it's all about the health care, it's all about moving the country forward and helping them with that with elements in the country that people there might be sufferi

have denied that the pentagon is linked to bio labs in the country. ah, the, who's since 2018 under order number 928, issued by ukraine's ministry of health. international pharmaceutical companies have had access to the country's hospital patients as a testing ground, including children. special safety measures in the handling of hazardous microorganisms are very expensive. it's a lot cheaper and easier to conduct that kind of research in countries where lives are of low value to the usa. the west, of course, does not care about the lives or the conditions of the ukraine or the population. it is also been historically i'd buy people like adolf hitler and the german world war 2 strategic plans for defeating russia. ukraine was rich with oil and it was always i'd as a natural resource area that could be utilized. most of these to be was, would assume usually when we do it, we could do it was due to be a good question for which is the police. but then you, we need to list and you can course that within your menu, you could take a paper out of course, whe

washington and t have a violating the biological weapons convention due to the activity of scores of bio labs in ukraine rush. it said it will convene an urgent meeting of the convention, signatories to bring attention to the issue with welcome to our, to international. my name's you know, really good to have your company. this saturday. key of forces have made another attempt to seize. there's up a rose, she a nuclear power plant, despite a team from the u. n. nuclear energy watchdog being at the side. that is, according to the russian defense ministry, which claims $250.00 ukranian troops tried to cross the den epr river in more than 40 boats on friday evening. the temp was aborted after around half of the vessels were hit by russian air force. france cream troops also shell the plums territory. on saturday night, according to local authorities, bay state power lines were damaged, cutting off supplies to a section of the grid, which applies t of controlled areas. the nearby city of america, dora was targeted again as well. the local mercedes, 5 civilians have been killed by ukrainian s

it is the most bio diverse culturally diverse part of the amazon. and it's in the western amazon and these are the fossil fuel reserves across the amazon dot these companies and governments would like to get their hands on. there are many protected areas throughout the amazon indigenous peoples territories that are protected in the amazon in ecuador for example. indigenous peoples have rights to their ancestral territories but they don't have rights to the subsurface mineral minerals so theovernmt could still go in and- drill. a concession off territories. mike this. these are indigenous peoples territoriess overlapped with oil concessions and this is been the model. for decades. and as i mentioned i was just in ecuador last week with- some of my colleagues and standing with indigenous peoples- in meetings actually we were in meetings. to talk about the alternative. alternative solutions to oil development. and. it was very hard to be there last week because- we were in meetings but we're also standing with indigenous peoples as they were rising up.

the extension of the bio lab network, which allows the creation in storage of bio weapons components, oppose a threat to russia's military security, the bio labs activity, and the so called reform program of the ukrainian health care system conducted by the us have led to the uncontrolled rise of cases of dangerous infectious diseases must desolate among the concerns voice by moscow is the fact that around 50 bio loves are located near russian borders. point to arise in the number of infectious diseases on its territory close to those areas, restrict claims the u. s. lead research doesn't address ukraine's health care problems as washington states because it's not aimed tackling current viruses right now are spreading in ukraine. also saves volunteers. may have been contaminated with diseases under research. with the u. s. denies any military nature to they work. seeing the aim there is to reduce threats by pathogens. independent war reporter thomas trooper conducted his own investigation on the matter. the questions, the alleged peaceful nature of what's going on a lot. if it would b

it's heat and electricity come from wind turbines and bio gas plants. as a result, prudence threats to turn off the gas tap leave residents cold. this deluxe village in brandenburg is located just 80 kilometers from berlin, only 130 people a few, but they generate enough energy for thousands. fair time was the 1st bullet in germany to become completely self sufficient in terms of electricity and heat. it has existed independently of fossil fuels for 12 years. now. it all began with the construction of 4 wind turbines. in 1995 mikhail classroom and introduced this idea to facetime on leticia. it's in the end, the expectations were so high after the talk that the village is said, not so fast. if you want to avail yourself of what we have here in fail time and harvest electricity, and heat than we want to taste of the action to. in the meantime, 55 wind turbines produce electricity for more than 50000 households. but that's not all since 2008 by august plant and the village has been generating heat and even more electricity from liquid manure, ry meal, and
