Close to you exactly the place for the various flavors of the exotic classic kind of a challenge for you all and there are a given and the. Ox confusion and the fun. Comes. From street food the 5 star restaurant tasty taipei starts september 1st on d w. This week on the real story. Well really juice could soon be underwater. Berlins a lot gardens for you see vixen. But we start in russia where a new highway used to be built through an area in the south of moscow the problem during the soviet era radioactive waste was dumped here locals around environmentalists are sounding the alarm Dangerous Levels of radiation thats what Nuclear Physicist andreae shut off his radiation counter tells him every time here moscow. Pauli metals factory started dumping Nuclear Waste on this hill in the 1940 s. And fiftys when the area in the south of moscow wasnt yet part of the city so far the Radioactive Material is contained under a layer of clay but the activist insists that the plant highway could cut straight through the Nuclear Waste. They might start digging up the soil and moving it around without taking into account that is contaminated they will be released into the atmosphere and anyone who breathes that song will get radioactive nuclei into their lungs. He has been giving informal tours of the spot to journalists and locals. Local residents like are worried about what could end up in the river and in their long he says i just dont know if you know that this Nuclear Waste is here but they arent going to touch it then its not to worrying but knowing that theyre going to build a right here and all this waste could slip down the hill thats really scary. Says locals have always known about the Nuclear Waste in their neighborhood the site is partially closed off but the riverside nearby is popular with the residents. Of view from above shows just how urban the area is the Nuclear Waste site is slotted between a park and moscows main river the mosque now the plan is to build a fly over parallel to the railway bridge here construction is slated to begin later this year the city says the new road will ease traffic in moscow and they insist that construction is safe and effective but the people of both new would move them which soil will not be disturbed as support for the flyover will be built here its foundations will be up to 5 metres below the surface weve carried out studies of the sort of that depth and there were no radiation measurements above the norm there and the road went touch the ground here but it could be more to put people in the area dont believe the author already they recently held a protest against the highway. Which people here see as the latest sign their government just doesnt care about the signs here read road of death and warn of a 2nd term noble catastrophe. In their lives in the high Rise Apartments across from the Plant Construction she grew up here and has been fighting the highway since march. So. From my point of view theyre committing a crime against the residents who live here i dont know whose interests are driving them but they are in no way considering our interests. When the frustration here is palpable but the other protesters want to keep fighting with petitions and protests to make sure their homes and their city stay safe. Our next story takes us to the u. K. Where residents of the worlds coastal village of sorrow are feeling the effects of Climate Change the sea is growing ever closer you know residents are being told they will have to leave their homes. Mike russell has the sea right on his doorstep hes a dedicated angler whos lived on the coast of wales for over 40 years. Right now the irish sea is bright and shiny but the people here have seen their share of storm surges. My house stands right behind this dike its held firm against wind and tide so far. Its hard to realize that. With rising sea levels all this could be gone. They say in as little as 50 years its hard to believe. Fairborn is a Seaside Village of about 8000 people and say the experts doomed by Climate Change several 1000000 pounds have gone into building downs and dikes to protect the houses from the say. But now the welsh authorities are throwing in the towel and calling on the villagers to find new homes. I when measuring the sea levels in the area across the north wales coast and we are finding evidence that sea levels are rising it is a reality and so before any catastrophe happens before anything big happens we really really need to be making sure that people are aware of those risks and that were talking to them and involving them in the solutions. But what solutions can there possibly be mike and his partner see their lives their home and lots of money at stake quite amazing the situation where its not a symbol for them as pensioners to buy a new house elsewhere they feel that the state has left them on their own 25 years in the future the fact is that they have no answers for us they cant tell us where to go to move us they cant tell us when theyre going to move us there is no Financial Support no compensation or tool and the sting in the table to that is if the insist that everybody moves out. They would expect mike to lie to pay for the demolishment arts his hopes. Its true that fairborn wont be the only town to face imminent danger in coming years. Over 30 communities in wales a dealing with erosion and flooding from rising seas. And infrastructure such as rail and power lines and roads are also at risk climate experts say its a massive financial time bomb for britains coasts i the residents of fairborn complain that everyone simply passing the buck its mike and angela say the prospect of a forced evacuation is always hanging over their heads theyre just hoping they can stay in their current house as long as they possibly can. Come. It is drowning in Plastic Waste. Themselves are responsible for much of it dozens of illegal containers filled with Plastic Waste from overseas were recently discovered there the trash will not be sent back to where it came from. The water in this dream can hardly move its full of plastic and it isnt an isolated case. Plastic piles up on phnom penh streets in fact cambodias capital city is littered with Plastic Waste. Plastic tied starts to rise at 5 am in the street markets its the packaging of choice for these traders and it spreads across the city as their goods assault and distributed discarded plastic is simply swept to one side and whatever is left there just days there. Was. The market traders all use plastic because its best fish and vegetable merchants use plastic because it protects their goods from rain and damage. With a population of 5000000 phnom penh accumulates 3000 tons of garbage every day Waste Disposal workers simply overwhelmed by the amount. And because there is no kind of rubbish separation its all mixed up gangs of scavengers go through the waste at night to find any recyclable Plastic Waste. In cambodia only about 20 percent of Plastic Waste is recycled the rest ends up in landfill or strewn around the countryside. But thats not all 83. 00 Sea Containers full of Plastic Waste have been found at the port of ship. They were there for months without being picked up so customs of dorothys opened them to find that they were full of illegally imported Plastic Waste from the usa and canada customs of dorothys want to take action against the perpetrators. It turns out you got rich. So you can. Fine tune a company come with a company. Cambodia cant cope with even more waste coming from abroad the country already looks like a garbage dump in many places and while some private initiatives are trying to tackle the waste even they dont know where to put all this plastic. Our last story takes us to germany for many berliners there are a lot of garden is like a 2nd home but these green spaces are increasingly dangerous they are supposed to make way for housing in schools which the german capital also desperately needs. If you know the. Lovely these allotment gardeners ahead be when their tomato plants their fruit its paradise to the clothes who have been tending watering and harvesting for 32 years. And. Were actually here every day almost without fail when were done with Everything Else the housework all the doctors visits you can find those here who. Dont want to hear from you for the clue whats the plot a half leased from the city is their 2nd home they pay 300 euros a year for it many other hobby gardeners do the same there are 70000 such allotments in building alone more than any other european city. They klute plot as part of an allotment colony that is surrounded by apartment buildings the land is sought after the city wants to build a school here and the garden is designated to be torn up to make room so will their black berry hatch be dug up by a bulldozer but the clothes are very upset. And the limbs would be losing his quality of life. I dont know what well do that a moment wisely can only. Do a few other lockman colonies also slated for destruction land is limited in the growing german capital which is why the city cease no other option and to separate fires some of the green spaces. Void and i get the mission because we dont want to make life difficult for allotment garden but will need to repurpose some of them in the coming years because berlin is a growing city that needs base for schools Daycare Centers and Sports Grounds kind of few allotment gardens about one percent did have to make way for those plans in the years ahead for bison was the kluges intend to fight. They have joined forces with their neighbors in the colony. They agree that schools are important but feel they should not necessarily be that here. The allotment garden colony has already been squeezed to make way for apartment buildings once before now it could completely disappear at the end of a 102 year old green oasis. Fund i mean its tradition to reconstruct old news. This year new voters Year Celebrations are going to. Find out whats behind it and what to do join the. Next g. W. The. Legal back is a sprint.

With all of the wonderful people in stories make the game so special. For all true for. More than football on line. Its the news it gives out of this world that well find out more about that at the top of the show. Hello and welcome to another exciting edition of your im max im your host meghan lee heres a look at what else we have coming up on the program. Hero max reporter max numero gives it his all at the highland games and the worlds oldest Poor Mans Club meets up inflation shy. But 1st we start off with an adventure from outer space now 50 years after the american astronaut Neil Armstrong became the 1st man to walk on the moon. Mystery has once again been made in terms of Space Adventures and this time by an italian astronaut Luca Parmitano played deejay for a night from the International Space station where hes currently based now his vibes were beamed down to a party boat just off the island of and we were there to experience it firsthand. The talian astronaut Luca Parmitano tries his hand at d. J. 400 kilometers away from earth and people groove to his beats on the deck of a cruise ship anchored off the Spanish Island of the bees are. The tablet serves as part of the tunnels mixing board. The. First time ever d. J. From outer space. Was impressed that i mean is up there somewhere and i think you could tell that hes an astronaut not a d. J. But he didnt 0 gravity perfectly but how it felt. Its no wonder that nuclear doesnt sound like a pro he only had his 1st lessons shortly before takeoff from teaching english book at the European Astronaut Center in cologne the European Space agency hopes that this kind of action will get young people more interested in space travel. This pretty crazy so the question for you is do you choose the museum that have the same. D. J. To shoot works for frankfurt based label Big City Beats which helped to organize the 5 day mediterranean cruise. The worlds best deejays entertain the passengers a day and night. Live link to the International Space station is the highlight. Station this is houston are you ready for the event. Here. I am ready for the event so i would love for the world where one common language that everybody could talk because i believe that communication is one way to solve problems and a language that Everybody Knows and everybody understands and nobody fights about their idea about. And then the Luca Parmitano takes the ships passengers on the galactic journey. In the end his coach detailer shook his happy. People he did a great job he got some tracks from me and played just the right ones. Then he did a somersault and started clapping upside down and weightless. And everyone clapped along i didnt think it would work but he really set the tone i take off my hat to it. So what lasting effect will his 1st d. J. Act in space have. Enjoyed sharing the experience. With the people if you go to space and intimidated by such strong emotions for life. That we feel everybody should feel this once you die because when you see from space its beautiful it is super beautiful and you want everybody to leave this when you get inspired by space you get and power to do everything even better than before including music including d. J. So we should take these eggs. No matter whether professional deejays will be jetting off to space in the future or astronaut spin records on earth this event was clearly out of this world. Certainly was all right coming back down to earth now since millennia man has always felt the need to test his physical strength hence the olympics or on a much smaller scale the highland games in scotland this is an event that is truly a throwback to another era where men hurl tree trunks carry heavy stones or they throw heavy weights all in a competitive show of strength and endurance your max host maxim errol decided to test his mettle by taking part in a highland games event and heres a closer look at how he measured up against the rest. When trees are flung through the air boulders carried around weights flying through the sky and rain falls in buckets its summer time in scotland. Is the perfect weather for a scottish tradition im in air at the highland games and ill be facing off against some of the toughest men in the country and of course that requires a certain dress code. A traditional scottish kills is borne by all performers and competitors every summer around 80 communities across scotland host highland games the village of west of edinburgh has been Holding Games since 871 theres running cycling and plenty of heavy lifting. Its a tradition deeply entrenched in scottish culture charlie merry is the president of the scottish highland games association. Max. Id like to loathe a little bit more about the history of the highland games whether the whole began. As they would be more than those in years. I believe it would be from the kleins the. One with the. Strongest man crush theres one of those. Strongest go with the intervention. Aside from selecting boreas clan chiefs also sort out dancers and musicians nowadays its all about the owner the strongest compete in 6 socalled heavy events for instance weights for heights where the aim is to throw a 25 kilo weight over a bar the scottish hammer throw using a cannon ball attached to a wooden shaft and in the cave are tossed at trimmed trees flipped over on his facts. Ideally landing in a Straight Line not an easy task. I dont seem to have a go but 1st one
