It excluded from the function . Lighter technology and the significance in driverless vehicles and a tie, one east village trends to solar energy to fight Power Outages, to bondage in belgium. Welcome to the show. Now if you like cinema or a tv, youve noticed far fewer new movies and series of dropped in recent months. And thats because hollywood has had no one but to historic strikes this year. To be in production, firms managed to reach an agreement with screen writers at the end of september. The screenwriters will get more money on the studios promise to be more transparent about the success of the content and not to use Artificial Intelligence for scripts. Now, hollywood has just one more hurdle. Getting actors back to the studios. Their strike isnt just hurting the industry. It is also hurting the economy. The, the, its been nearly 3 months. Hollywood actors are still on strike. Anything as welcome that helps keep up merot. 100 show up at the picket lines, the march back and forth in front of the major movie studios from 9 oclock in the morning until 12 noon. We dont want it to go any longer. We would love for it to wrap it tomorrow. We all want to get back to work. We want to work. This is not about laziness. This is not about just trying to get more money trying to get enough that we can live on some say, the glory of old hollywood. The glamour of a lease Entertainment Industry is all just a distant fading memory. The industry has changed a lot and not necessarily for the better they say we need. Randy barnes, whos a writer for randy. The strike is over for union. The Writers Guild of america or w g. A got to deal with the alliance of motion, pictures and television producers. Finally, randy was on strike for almost 5 months. There is still a stray going on. There is still a struggle in for others and there is also the ramifications of the fact that everybodys been out of work for close to 5 months. The ramifications were and continued to be significant. Major studios and producers are estimated to of last and continued to lose tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars during the writers. An actor stride as the damage done to the state of california is economy. 3000000000. 00. According to analysts, the entire us economy is reported to have suffered a loss of around 5000000000. 00 and counting the economy is, is always affected during the strike. Unfortunately, look, i havent seen my hair dresser in quite some time. Restaurants, dry cleaners, as you said. Yeah, people stop spending as much money, it becomes a sort of mini recession. And this is after on the heels of the pandemic, which was already hitting everything pretty hard. L a has been its been rough and l a since then the to swingers binder and coffee shop. For many other restaurants the struggle was real and due to the strike business remains down. Some places even have to call it quits for good. Not so swingers diner. One reason a free meals for writers and actors were in need of they are still on strike. All paid for by american comedy. A mister drew carrie, ping it forth quite literally having that extra meal for some people mental loss. You know, there are some people who, you know, they had been working and suddenly youre going to be without for 5 months, id really able to do all the work, you know, because im also a drug counselor. So ive been able to pick up other work. So i know for the lot friends, people have had to sell the cars and you know, really have to hustle and you know, if youre fairly successful, you can get an interest free loan from the goals and pay a bike over a year and a half. But, you know, i think for the people, the entry level people just above the size being, wait, although you know, back up the ticket line, the actors are determined not to let us better pay guarantees about the restricted use of Artificial Intelligence and fear residuals pay from streaming giants, netflix from disney plus paramount plus and others. There will be no end to the strike. The actors union says, until they get a deal similar to the one the writers just aimed with movie studios, tv, producers, and streamers. I feel very optimistic about where we stand because they need us in order to, to film the, the, the shows and the movies. If they dont have the talent, youre correct. They cant make it. So im happy though that the writers have their deal because by the time that they am p, p, p, finally come to their senses and come to the, to the table with us and gives us a good deal. Uh, there will be scripts for us to perform wave it will be able to get right back to work. For now though, the studio lots are still deserted and many thousands, entertainment workers movie, mtv Crew Personnel are still without a job. Many projects have been postponed indefinitely or have even been canceled. And with all that, the local service and Retail Industry and the broader economy or teacher severe hit. The worst Case Scenario is this goes on a lot longer, that they dont settle with the actors that they dont offer. Meaningful advances to the actors. Question is sort of what is the logic . Where is the game plan here . And it seems like at every step of the way this judy is ultimately didnt have one. Everything seems to be ser poorly managed and poorly missing drugs. I think they vastly under estimated the resolve of the union, the power of the union. I think they thought that they would be able to squeeze us and wed say ok, never mind. Remember some say the glory of old hollywood. The glamour of a lease Entertainment Industry is just that distance fading memory. Lets hope not a lot of live. Your favorite tv programs and your future Favorite Movie depend on it. Since russia invaded ukraine in february, last year, western nations have responded with functions against Russian Energy exports. They want to curb. The kremlin is ability to raise money to fund its more in ukraine. Russian uranium is an exception, and business has been booming for the Russian Nuclear agency roles at home. It has customers in the us funds and many countries that use Nuclear Energy. A reporter module goes in, sca looked at why western nations have failed to be consistent with the question to radium. The sun and wind never ending Energy Sources that generate environmentally friendly electricity. But hardly any country can rely on the sources alone. Nuclear power has played an Important Role in the Worlds Energy supply for decades. In recent years, theres even been a renaissance and Nuclear Power. New Nuclear Reactors are being built all over the world. The raw material uranium is needed to make fuel rods that power the plants world wide demand is increasing. But where is Uranium Mines . Cause x on is the top country with over 21000. 00 tons per year, followed by canada, namibia, and australia. Russia is only in 6th place, but im coming back in this context. Um, so i was like, stun happens to be in russia. Severe the influence influence thats fear of influence already plays a significant role for europe, is about 44 percent of all uranium came from russia and catholics done in 2022. Next time youre comes in, so i told them fine. Chaunceys. However, its not only about the deposits, but also about technology. Uranium has to be enriched in order to be used in Nuclear Reactors in the form of fuel rods. Weird is the and rich geranium come from. Russia is by far the largest producer of enriched uranium in the world that 40 percent. Its followed by france and china. There isnt much competition in this field so far. You think about it a bit like a world market, you know. Okay, so you buy from canada, say instead of, you know, rush or catholics debt and that just means somebody else has to buy from us or complex done, right. Like it doesnt its not like youre not buying doesnt change. You know, uh, changes the market in some sense that since the russian, more of the russian on ukraine in 2022, russia has become a non desirable trading partner. Nevertheless, the western world depends on enriched uranium from russia. And russia is making everyone pay. Uranium prices have doubled since 2018 last year. Us Power Producers alone paid 1000000000. 00 to rush and state Nuclear Authority for the fuel. Despite all the coffee outs, though russia remains the best alternative on the world market. You know, its relatively cheaper to produce, going to get it from catholic stat or russia. And so, you know, you, you just dont have the market. There was a large discussion in the Trump Administration about limiting imports of uranium. All those discussions kind of didnt go anywhere because, you know, Nuclear Power plants were already under stress with relatively low electricity prices, or even roosevelt gas prices leading to relatively low tricity prices. You know. And then sort of saying, look, if you cut off, you know, this lower cost uranium, then we just cant compete. Well close more and more countries around the world are deciding to build new Nuclear Power plants. Nuclear Power Technology is one of the export hits of the russian economy. Since 1999, russia has sold more Nuclear Energy technology abroad than the us, france, china, south korea and japan, combined inside fits in about 5000 is known as of december 2019 construction had started on 28 Nuclear Power plants, world wide, 17 of which are in china now, a one do you ever 11 are being built by rosa tome in Different Countries . This one that was interesting and then about and even before that, rosa tom was active with 4 Nuclear Power plants each and china, india, and turkey. Others are being built in egypt, bundle dish, and the ron and even born in the you country, slovakia. The european and American Nuclear industries are now we thinking their position. The goal is independence from russia. However, the solution will take years and its not just uranium. Europe also relies on other countries for its supply of lift. Yep. The metal that is essential for battery production, it is mind in just a few countries in the world. Australia is the leading producer followed by chile and china. So your pin countries are trying to change that and lift the is now also being mined on the continent, including here in germany. A reporter alexa maya visited a mine. This well runs more than 3. 5. Columbus has deep allowing the room, some of which have found that to reach the surface. Once here, the heat is turned into electricity. The head to avoid con energy explains to a new employee how the g o assembled fountain in time. Right. And then last night to looks, yes, the size of it here, you see the big motor, which is connected with the shaft, with a mechanical part of the pump inside of the purple that pushes the water upwards. At the same time, theyre working on a pilot projects to extract alisium asks if the warm brine you have one. So give you 2, we secured areas in which we can obtain lithium a line or you can get me from these areas alone. We would be able with 20 or 30 projects an hour to extract enough lithium for all the passenger cars produced in germany and c p company. This white, alkaline metal is then found it is lexi m hydroxide, in neo straight in gym and companies. Now theyre experimenting with special filters that we can show you due to the competition. Starting in 2025, were kind of energy hopes to extract 24000. 00 tons of lithium per year from semo volta enough for around 600000. 00 callback choice. In size, and then of course the greatest potential we see at present is for batteries for electric cars also as well as becoming independent of other countries on this one. Thats the specific potential for us here in europe, within 5 se, jim, any comments . Resources around 60 percent of its lithium needs from australian mines. Another 20 percent comes from salt water likes in today. Many in this Region Support becoming less reliance on imports, but theyve also had bad experiences with the g o assembled plumps here. Designated as it is, those are the cracks. Its why heres the 1st level, the 2nd up here, you can see the 3rd we im the ca. Yes, weve pointed out that earthquakes are still occurring here and asked me for and quite a large number for my newborn holes are to be made. And then we expect considerably more quick social media and it seems the ins time plant hasnt triggered more quake since 2009. But what if they stopped again . It is associated consumes bit damage is a curb. Theyll be smaller ones to facades or individual homes. They can be repaired in compensation must also be paid. Thats completely clear of the homicide. On the plus side, its a domestic source of energy or a domestic raw material. So its a state level its, its the energy is renewable and its a raw material source. Close to home, but to be good for time. A castilla and to kelly believes in the success of jem and lucy in mining, and has invested 50000000 euros in vogue con energy. And as a comm make us have signed purchase agreements for this vital role material used in factories that to vote con energy still has a few hurdles to overcome the house for the long since Product Development times are one challenges tyson can the the authorization process is must be shortened significantly so by the team so that we can begin production as soon as possible, producing heat for people as well as lithium or the Automobile Industry to complete. Some fail to be an industry. Another aspect of gaining acceptance in the population reactive comes to the physical and it helps that this is a 0 carbon lithium project, because the white gold is extracted from some of water used to produce heat and power. Its viewed as a Renewable Energy source once codes, the water is pumped back into the ground. While lithium is essentially the electric vehicles, when it comes to driverless cars, it is a special kind of Laser Technology that makes all the difference. Its called lighter technology. Laser is a more effective in the dark and cameras or so lighter can offer a higher resolution than right or sensors. But the cost of the technology is extremely high. And thats why automotive suppliers like boss a bundled it for now. But we still wanted you to take a look for yourselves right here, or largely autonomy is driving is slowly becoming a reality. More and more cars and drivers are relying on a system systems such as lane keeping, swerving, and breaking assistance to achieve full autonomy. Much more modern technology is needed. The radar and camera alone will not challenge this, but together with light are we will get this robust as we are looking for light or stands for light detection and range in a system that provides High Resolution 3 D Information and a real time with lasers. The, the technology is also used in the batch and explain to robots that use it to scan the room for an iphone, which enable a 3 d scan the, but its also used in highly complex Space Maneuvers for navigation. Weightlessness has to be accurate to the millimeter. Physics drag and use as light or to navigate to the space station or doc. Normally that we, the space x developed its own light or from scratch to do that. And i spearheaded that effort personally. Because in that scenario, light or makes sense, and it cars is freaking stupid. Its expensive and unnecessary. The german automotive supplier boss has a similar view. Most vehicles are still geared towards partially automated driving. The driver is supported not replaced in technical jargon, the so called level 2 is a very high demand for level 2 functionalities in the markets. So we see 60 percent off the market is asking for level 2 plus functionalities by me delta decades. So we have decided to focus on thats topics and for the topics the library is not mandatory to half in the vehicle. Instead, we are focusing our developments predominantly on other technologies, like video perception, video sensors, but also radar sensors. Bosh is does focusing on improving existing technology. They want to wait until interest in lighter technology increases in the market, which will certainly happen. Autonomy is driving was a major topic at the i a auto show. And its no longer possible to imagine driving without it. We see that in future the cars will drive ultimately and there we need the light r as a 3rd technology to have a robots and reliable system on the road. It will start in the next few years already for sure, starting below williams. But then well roll over time until the next 567 years. The 1st fully autonomy as cars are already driving on the streets of san francisco. Its still a test, but its certainly the future. Now were going to have one of the most technologically advanced places on earth. Taiwan. It is the leading producer of the worlds most sophisticated semiconductors. But it also has blackouts here ago, nearly 5000000 households where without power as a result of the technical issue of one of the island substations, the taiwanese also experienced power cuts joined earthquakes and tropical storms. And one village is trying to come up with its own solution to the problem. Tie ones sunshine shall lean village is making its name count by training to solar energy to fight Power Outages as well. Well, the way, once a major power outage, one day we only lost power for a split 2nd. And then the power came back on the go. It didnt last long calling all the streetlights still had electricity, as did the homes. Mister young and his family were not affected by a recent nationwide blackout. Just like 15 other families in sunshine, shouting village in southern taiwan. Mister yells, experience was not a lucky co incidence. An Energy Storage system helps the village keep its lights on the how does it work and kind of takes away for energy, independent communities. The, the original shouting village was destroyed by the moral comp, time food in 2009 residents moved to this area after it was destroyed. Its called permanent housing. Survivors now live in 3 different communities in houses built by the time when hes government sunshine. Sheldon village is one of the villages, as the name suggests, its a sunny place with little rain or the perfect sign to demonstrate Innovative Solar concepts. The system and sheldon village has 15 household Energy Storage facilities and one community Energy Storage system. The tricity converted from each household solar panels is stored in the batteries for the household use the whenever the sympathetic tricity, its then send to the Community Storage system which supplies electricity to the public activity center. So what does it do in this community . We use batteries, retired from electric buses and some from electric card. And so mainly because of their high capacity. And so after the use of probably the only on these countries on the screen before use those at 60 to 70 percent of the life spend remaining under contain and normal internal resistance level and have a better chance of being used if there are 50 batteries and then electric car, you can probably pick out the 30 to 40. It tells of science. The goal is to say once the screen, the batteries are put into a bundle page, bundle can store energy for up to 5 years. The concept needs additional economic stimulus to become more widespread because used the batteries can be relatively expensive. Plus residents have to be reassured that living with batteries is safe in the home watch a lot more initially worried if they installed it. What would happen to their homes, whether it would shorten the live span of their apartment to pay. I had to explain to them that its better to use it because solar panels can help cool the house and the system can help save energy along with some government subsidies. I thought that wed be up on it. And yeah, well i wish to, yeah, i played a key role in communicating with the residents. It took him 3 months to convince 15 households to sign the consent forms. Every household has a daily closure of 10 kilowatt hours of Energy Storage. And some families are republishing use batteries to meet that quote to the were actually understanding the system, our selves. My, mikes not the kind of Green Energy Project people imagine where solar panels are planted in a spacious lot and the energy was sent to times our ours is done by doesnt send and were just leave me a time value. The project helps tackle electronic waves diffuse by using re purpose batteries and when it comes to environmentally Friendly Solutions for independent power supply, sola is a solid option. Oh the. So you think using Renewable Energy is good because its environmentally friendly. And its a good example for our community to have this kind of installation, mag associates all while its on phones only 15 out of 120. 00 households in the village are currently using the Energy Storage system. Mister yell, hopes to one day, expand the scale as climate refugees. He and other families are determined to rebuild the homes with an emphasis on environmental issues. And that brings us to the end of todays edition of made. Thank you so much for watching to join us again next time until then from me and the entire team here in berlin. Good bye. Take care.
