Transcripts For DW Global 3000 - The Globalization Program 2

This week and global three thousand we head underwater down under where the Great Barrier reef is in mortal danger. And we head to chile to see how farmers are dealing with Rising Energy costs. But first we go to afghanistan to meet an amazing woman who against all odds is tackling the countrys massive drug problem. Afghanistan has long been the Worlds Largest producer and exporter of opium. The substance from which heroin is derived. And ever more opium poppies are being planted the United Nations says the area under cultivation has sought sixty three percent in just one year. And opium production has rocketed this year by eighty seven percent much of the drug trade is now under the control of the taliban for whom its a huge source of revenue opium and heroin use is spreading fast within afghanistan as well a full ten percent of the population is believed to be addicted. Twice a week hidari goes down under this bridge in kabul a grim sight awaits her this is by far the most horrific spot in the Afghan Capital the citys drug addicts are holed up here thousands of them just trying to survive this dark hell the stench of excrement urine and vomit is unbearable rats scurry along the walls. Every morning between five and ten dead bodies are carried out Laila Haidari is the angel of campbells drug afflicted. And. If what do you want to come with me you should stand up. A voice from the group shouts everyone here wants to go with you. More than the do you really want to come say it. The drug addicts are irritable and aggressive we are only able to film because we came with laila the local police havent dared to set foot under the bridge for ages. Twelve men respond to linus offer this morning the last one deciding at the last minute. Lie low puts the men and the bus she had arranged ahead of time. They are driven to a house at the edge of the city. Magnet are there more published but why do i do this. My brother was. I had to watch him slowly lose everything first his job and his family in the end he gave up and for me the more. For those who arrive here the first step is to scrub the dirt from their bodies then everyones head gets shaved those who decide to leave behind the hell under the bridge should mark a new beginning also physically line often lends a hand she is forty two years old and an unusually strong willed independent woman in this deeply conservative country. Laila owns a restaurant not far from the city center its popular with couples upper middle class the money she earns here pays for the drug addicts rehabilitation program. A place to stay meals a few medical tests Therapy Program does have a limit. I that i havent forced any of you to come here youre all here of your own free will i dont care if you speak pashto or diary or to whom you pray for me you can stay for one month after five days youll be good to do some light exercise then youll be given a few tasks. For seven years laila has been trying to help men like these get off drugs without any medication she tells them to drink as much water as possible and that should be enough to. Pray to allah or a thousand times to show me the path away from drugs to give me another chance perhaps it will happen today. She. Has come out from under the bridge hes been begging searching through garbage and when necessary also stealing needs money for drugs a bag of heroin costs around two euros it doesnt sound like much but by afghan standards its a lot still there are more than three million drug addicts in afghanistan around ten percent of the population yeah. Theres no work people just hang around without any prospects givers as thats why people in afghanistan turn to heroin i managed to get clean once for more than a year but then i started again for. This hill is another Gathering Spot for kabuls drug addicts they consume drugs here in the open. They are young and old some are even children the Afghan Police gave up a long time ago some cash in on the problem afghanistan is flooded with drugs production has increased in recent years this hill is a place of desolation afghanistan the worlds biggest producer of drugs is now suffering from the drugs curse within its own borders. But there is a bright spot in the story mohammed ali zonda also lived under the bridge for many years but hes been drunk free for two years now hes stayed with laila and helps out with the new arrivals learn to make rugs these are then sold to support the program. I used to be a policeman during my shift i often came across alcohol and drugs that were based around i took heroin on a regular basis. Me in. And what would have happened if he hadnt escaped from under the bridge. Id be dead today. The men have started singing love songs again for a liner thats a good sign the withdrawal process is extremely difficult of all the men laila takes in only around a quarter of them manage it and stay clean her dream is to have a proper clinic with experienced doctors so she can rescue many more drug addicts from the helm beneath the bridge.

Day has started badly and last night was difficult to her equipment doesnt work including the microphone and even one hundred who everyone calls the old tiger the man who can usually fix everything was baffled. And yet all wanted was to revisit her performance from yesterday her chance to acquire fame and wealth in her grandmaster show. Even sitting there singing along doesnt help she messed up there were simply too few viewers. You know i just wasnt good enough i was too nervous because his show was so popular it was a bad performance. On. Her stages a flat shared with other would be internet stars cables are strewn throughout like spiders webs her work space doubles as a bedroom and in the shared kitchen complete with leftover food old tiger monitors the shows it smells of cap and old smoke. And theres a flatmate next door noisily wrapping it breakneck speed. Was. Being tries again her show begins with her applying her make up theres no such thing as privacy here of course she earns far less than her grand master and as one of his employees she has to give him a percentage hes the boss and shes the internet proletariat sometimes old tiger chats to just to get things going.

Its huge pressure to look at my swollen eyes i can hardly sleep all day and night get mixed up in music business i dont have friends anymore i cant meet anyone for lunch just very briefly in the evening and then i have to get back this work cuts me off from real life completely. And then he carries on as if nothing had happened tells his jokes does a show when it seems he may be searching for the same thing as his clients as if what he really wants is not the money nor the viewers nor success but some closeness and friendship. In this installment of global ideas we head to chile. Rising Energy Prices have been making it harder for Dairy Farmers to. So theyve been looking for ways to bring down their costs in an eco friendly way. We headed to the south of the country near a sauna where our records him at foam is who are addressing the problem. Its not a bad life for a cow here nowhere else in chile offers such lush pastures and there where else in the country produces as much milk as the region around the city of us all know. Rianna moore has been a farmer of a verde eight years a family came to chile from germany one hundred seventy years ago she says milk has always been produced by natural methods on this farm and she wants it to stay that way then im going to look in one of the one we have to work with when nature gives back nature and take what it offers us we dont like them but we mustnt harm and thats the only way we can meet the earth in good shape for our descendants about this and they say. At four pm its time for adriano is two hundred fifty cows to be milked the milking stations electricity bill comes to a thousand euros a month energy costs in chile are high because Raw Materials needed to generate power still have to be imported. The high cost of power worried agree on a more she wanted to lower overheads and also wanted a Climate Friendly solution so she decided to put a photo voltaic system on her roof at a cost of two thousand four hundred euros her energy costs are now eight percent lower. Than it here in the south and generates up to three hundred watts and that used straight away for the milking process so we dont use as much energy from the grid and he in effect of the let me moderate. But making a profit with milk is difficult for farmers in chile they only get paid twenty seven euro cents a liter. Adriaan his farm is large enough for that to be enough to live on. Its not the farmers in chile who are raking in the profits but the companies that process them milk at this factory as fresh milk is turned into milk powder. A one hundred shilling another dairy farmer with german roots lives fifty kilometers away with twelve hundred cows his farm is one of the largest in the region. He says anyone who wants to make money with milk has to expand their farm. Saving energy is simply an economic factor for me ive always saved whenever i could whether with energy or elsewhere if you have a business it has to be economically viable. A few years ago i mean on the invested close to one Million Euros in a large milking plant four hundred cows can be milked here at a time saving employees and energy. Modern vacuum pumps make the milking process more efficient. But what other handle is really proud of is the plants cooling system he loves to talk about it. Being rather limited to the milk comes from the milking shed through this filter and through this filter it goes to these coolers and. The milk arrives here with a temperature of thirty seven degrees celsius. And is cooled by water thats ten degrees of commitment in the bucket in the back of the milk is cooled to eighteen degrees celsius and then the water which is now your mom comes out with our family and you know its only. That saves him a lot of money. On the ones to make further investments. And her team from the german Chilean Chamber of commerce have come to visit him they advise farmers on Energy Saving measures and Renewable Energy sources. Of the weather in southern chile is very similar to the weather in germany. Theres good sun exposure but also a lot of rain. So photovoltaic is an option but hydro power might be even better. Off. Here we want to see if the conditions are right for building a small hydroelectric power plant. So. The team takes pictures to show to a Construction Company that builds hydroelectric plants if the price is right the small unit could be completed next year. Riana more would like to make further investments in Renewable Energy without having to expand her farm. But for now she doesnt have the financial resources. Youre gay but i evolved them for that wed need a subsidy otherwise we wouldnt be able to protect our resources and produce eggs like milk milk or the taste of southern chile. Right now she is looking out for the next generation on her farm these have a strict start producing milk in about one years time. Australias Great Barrier reef is a breathtaking natural treasure of the main spews diversity but it is under threat in fact it may be dying a slow death. Coral bleaching events are becoming more frequent leaving behind devastation. In many places the colorful underwater world has turned into a graveyard. This has got to be one of the worlds best locations for a University Lecture and these Research Students under systems clad in black white suits are about to get to work. Here on Lizard Island theyre investigating the underwater world of the Great Barrier reef. Dr around hoggard has lived on Lizard Island for twenty seven years no one knows the reef as well as she does and shes deeply concerned. Behind it scientists who are forecasting what is going to happen in the coming decades as they would world wars are predicted that we would get back to back bleaching that the middle of the scenery but here we are in two thousand and sixteen seventeen or already having. One year after the next so it decay you know when it was a scenario suggested. And leaves what seems to be the perfect life style along with her husband loyal. To their son alex grew up on Lizard Islands beaches learned to dive there as a child or the readers not just a research object for the trio its first and foremost their own backyard and their backyard is changing dramatically. Two years ago this aquatic paradise was in Good Condition its blue lagoon pristine and beautiful. But catastrophe has struck way the water is warming at an alarming rate bleaching the corals. First they lose their color then they die off. And now dives are worlds devoid of life nothing but grey. A saddening sight. Of the car all excited to have a branching car. And lots of the day. Despite the beautiful blue skies and wonderful white sands the Great Barrier reef is fighting for its survival and has no doubt that Climate Change is responsible for the bleaching. Its devastating its hot right after that but in the last four years weve had two major cyclons and two coral bleaching at the site and those have really been in the fourth and thats going to take the freedom. Of. This color everywhere here the Great Barrier reef is more than two thousand kilometers long its the Worlds Largest coral reef eco system and includes some three thousand individual reefs. But not far from the reef on the mainland at abbot point there are manmade mountains of coal the Worlds Largest coal porters being built here coal of all things a major Greenhouse Gas source but me a biology beach the locals are sea they angry their government has approved the terminals construction they say coal and coral just dont go together. To raise him up right here im devastated if we are building this mine adanis building this mine with a culture of you know i think four thousand. Ships out there how is that going to possibly benefit the world queensland tourism operators and kids who have an expectation theyre going to see the same beauty that we see every day. The reef is roughly ten thousand years old local say its in the process of dying on the beaches of cairns indigenous australians are collecting sacks of trash the descendants of australias original inhabitants see themselves as custodians of the land they too are concerned about the land of their forefathers. Snow rain forest whatever going to fit each element on top of the well its going to be a big impact because we have five different elements in one country. Thats the reason why we have. Seasonal patterns as a person who we want to see that that is the only. Turtles and and i guess its all comes down to education and thank the people you know have respect when you go out to those places to look after that because we want to generations to come the Great Barrier reef is australias most famous tourist attraction. But still time to save it its just a question of priorities. But the clock is ticking loudly.
