Strike really about . Were going to answer that in depth edition of made use business magazine. And here are the other topics. Rush renewing and why was it excluded from the function . Light of 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 manage to reach an agreement with screening lighters. 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 her adult 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 stripe for almost 5 months. There is still a straight 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 use economy is reported to have suffered a loss of around 5000000000. 00 and count if 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 2 swingers diner and coffee shop. For many other restaurants, the struggle was real and due to the strikes business remains down. Someplace has even had 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 carry payment port 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 want 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 last rains, 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 way, although you know, back up the ticket line, the actors are determined not to let up 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 ttp finally come to their senses and come to the taste, 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 sort of, what is the logic . What is the game plan here . And it seems like at every step of the way this duty 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 save the glory of old hollywood. The glamour of alis Entertainment Industry is just that distance fading memory. Lets hope not a lot of lives. 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 Euclid Agency roles at home. It has customers in the us funds in many countries that use Nuclear Energy. Our reporter mark whos in sco, looked at the why western nations have failed to be consistent with watching you 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. And recent years, theres even been a renaissance in 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 plans world wide demand is increasing. But where is Uranium Mines . Cause exxon 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 because 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 you 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. Weirdest thing in which to uranium 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 promotion or complex down, right . Like it doesnt its not like youre not buying doesnt change, you know, 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 caviar, 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 or whatever 11 are being built by rosa tome in different countries. One of the interesting and then about and even before that, rosa tom was active with 4 Nuclear Power plants, each in china, india, and turkey. Others are being built in egypt. Thunder dash and t 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 mine 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. Or this well runs more than 3. 5 kilometers 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 geothermal talent in, in time binding plots and h works. Yes. The sizes here you see the big motor, which is connected with the shaft, with a mechanical part of the pump. And couple that pushes the water upwards. At the same time, theyre working on a pilot projects to extract alisium out of the warm brine. You have one so give 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 companies. This white alkaline metal is then bone data is lexi m hydroxide in neil, straight in, jim and companies. Now theyre experimenting with special filters that we can show you due to the competition. Starting in 2025 for con energy hopes to extract 24000. 00 tons of lithium per year from semo vasa 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 id say the saga, gym and e Commerce Resources around 60 percent of its lithium needs from australian mines. Another 20 percent comes from salt water lakes and today many in this Region Support becoming less reliance on imports. But theyve also had bad experiences with the g o semo plumps here. Designated, such as those are the cracks. Its why heres the 1st level. The 2nd one up here, you can see the 3rd we im to see if 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 system. Yeah, yeah. It seems the ins time plant hasnt triggered more quakes 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 and 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, its be good for time and castilla until kaylee believes in the success of gym 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 back to comes to the physical. It helps that this is a 0 comp and missy and project. Because the white gold is extracted from some of which a 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 that 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 it 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. The, the 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 when 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 vacuum cleaner 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 uses light are 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 ive 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 bosh 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 that 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 economist 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 robust and reliable system on the road. It will start in the next few years already for sure, starting below a williams, but then well roll over time until the next 567 years. The 1st fully autonomy is 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 tie one. 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 a technical issue, a one of the island substations, the taiwanese also experienced power cuts, joint 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 turning to solar energy to fight Power Outages as well. Well, the way once a major power outage, one you 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 markup type of 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 shown in village is one of the villages, as the name suggests, its a sunny place with little rain the perfect sign to demonstrate Innovative Solar concepts, the system and shout them village has 15 household Energy Storage facilities and one community Energy Storage system. Data tricity converge from each household. Solar panels is stored in the factories for the household use, the whenever the sympathetic tricity, its then sent 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 cars. And so mainly because of their high capacity. And so after the use of kind of going down these countries on the screen before use those at 60 to 70 percent of the live span remaining. And that can maintain a normal internal resistance level and have a better chance of being used. Or 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 so yeah. Once the screen, the batteries are put into a bundle, each 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 one. No, dont 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. 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, mr. Yeah, played a key role in communicating with the residents. It took him 3 months to convince 15 how souls 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 holes tend to times our, the hours is done by doesnt send in because we have talked about 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. Mr. Yall 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. The, the, the answer of the conflicts own with sarah kelly. In response to the militant Palestinian Group of mazda tech on israel wheaton and the e u y, reviewing their non humanitarian aid to palestinians, my guess has to be gone complex, soon as sweet as yours minister toby and film as of environment of gaza intensifies how concerned is see that the conflict could spread in the regions conflict in 19 minutes on dw, the might seem easy. How much can we do simultaneously . Multitasking these, the modern man. Because if we do too much at 180. 00 all wrong mess, things up, risking brain damage. So lets stop this self sabotage. Humans and multitasking watch. Now on youtube, v. W documentary. Ok, the tech is changing. 6 years ago. We said it cant get any was, but it does. Guardians of truth. This time, excel gen, this turned into our meets the voices of a 3 turkey alter as the ad one has history into exile. I knew the police would search my house. Courageous people are trying to stem the turkish governments and sort of tammy and cools. I also did the chance again, but really its a crime is addressed and the path of trying to takes responsibility for his action. What about freedom of the press and freedom of expression . What about parliamentary democracy . To the situation is very serious. Cutting as right as not only weapon is op and guardians of true tasks. October 28th on d. W. Also coming out after weeks of political paralysis in the us capital, there is finally
