Went to western ethiopia to see is taking shape. This scene of destitution is a few miles away from ethiopia granted any. Local people here still live. With no one in what or electricity or decent hopes. They say they are patiently waiting for the benefit of the doubt. What patience is there to muster these workers need to finish the must pass a week. Daytime she also works progress. The project is made up of 3 parts civil works which are now 87 Percent Complete the steel works which are going a bit slow with 17 Percent Completed and the Electromechanical Works at 35 percent and all those 3 components show that the dam is 71. 2 Percent Complete were planning to start filling the reservoir next june and will be able to start producing electricity a year later once finished these giant tubes will channel but if all waters down through turbines 9. 10 which are still to be placed here the powerful jets rotate the turbines and the hydro power engines a link to them pass for the 2 to electricity each turbine going to produce 370 megawatts when all of the 30 turbines are completed that dam will be able to produce a little less than 6000 megawatt enough to satisfy ethiopias needs to export electricity to regions as far away as Southern Africa and western europe as you can see behind me that to me the section hasnt yet been finished its one acquires 2000000 cubic meters of ronald concrete slabs to raise it to the final height thats also where the 13 will be inserted 2 of them will become operational early next year and thats when the 1st hydro Power Production begins if your piece says this is crucial for its Economic Development so that.

C. Stumble at each other and time is of the essence to both nations meanwhile the historic dam continues to take its final shape for the legendary river this is a mighty handle that will control every drop of it for the 1st time in history a river that flew freely in the wild for millions of years is from now on forced to squeeze its way through these narrow i and frames of brick and mortar i use future and perhaps the 2 of the millions of people in its path is not set in stone for ages to come 105. 00 are dizzy or at the grander nissans done west in ethiopia knowing greenpeace is uncover the scale of Illegal Fishing across the world the best mates that one in 5 fish brought to market to court with no oversight and surrogate reports its having a devastating effect on delicate he insists. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean thousands of kilometers from anywhere the greenpeace ship on sunrise is on the trail of a vessel thats gone dark its turned off its tracking systems. The team home in on another vessel a giant refrigerated cargo ship. And here they find their original quarry a taiwanese long line a trench shipping its catch of tuna onto what is effectively a colossal floating freezer.

Thousands of kilometers away the Southern Ocean remote and next to impossible to police the greenpeace ship esperanza has been following the movements of fishing boats in Pristine Waters the reef is often stock to small vessels with fuel and supplies bar reticent to communicate. Its recent ransom. I know more about russians in this last question. Are you also supplying these vessels with other problem. Its believed up to 40000000. 00 tonnes of unreported fish catches are traded every year costing around 23000000000. 00 so we can see for example there in the southwest atlantic which is a part of the globe but theres very little to what almost no Fisheries Management for a lot of Fishing Vessels or so any way for that goes there is by default working within an unregulated environment. All this green peace as its urgent need for a strong global ocean treaty to be implemented as soon as possible to ensure 30 percent of the worlds ocean are off limits to exploitation of any kind that height at aljazeera.
