A school which is helping grandmothers learn to read and write. In bali Young Professionals are living a dream instead of being cooped up in a conventional office. But first we accompany a syrian family as they travel to italy and by legal means and with no paralyse crossing. The Central Mediterranean route for many refugees thats the only option for reaching europe. This its an extremely dangerous one at least five thousand people lost their lives attempting the crossing in two thousand and sixteen more than any previous year. Many of those who do make it only survive thanks to good luck. And then theres the daunting prospect of gaining legal residency its l. A. For example rejects the hof of asylum applications. This is the Hilltop Village of riyadh and the southernmost part of italy. And g. D. And their four children are building a new life here their first step has been to start learning the language. The family originally came from syria but fled from there to lebanon where they lived for five years remembers what a shock it was to arrive in italy after travelling for thirty hours. When we got here my first thought was take me back to lebanon i was so tired but then bit by bit i calmed down the people here treated us well the italians are good people and the welcome was warm. Flashback they route the capital of lebanon syrias neighbor in the middle east about two and a half Million People live here. The six person family is paying two hundred dollars a month to live in this windowless hole without any bath. Its in a palestinian neighborhood where they dont feel safe. Rents are very high here everyone knows the palestinians take advantage of us even though theyre refugees themselves. Has found work as a baker but the children cant go to school they want to build a future in europe but not risk their lives crossing the mediterranean a Lebanese Initiative connects the muslim family with an ecumenical initiative run by the Catholic Community of santa g. T. O. And the federation of evangelical churches in italy they declare the family to be especially in need of asylum which opens the way for legal immigration. I want to go to italy and go to school there and learn something. The old j. A. T. s have left their syrian homeland behind. They dont even think they would be allowed to return there. To ensure a future for their children they feel they have to go to italy. I dont know anything about italy but i know that europeans live in dignity thats the most important thing. Our children would be safe every child can go to school there and lead a normal life. They dont know much they dont have much but they trust the italians to bring them wherever they need to go. The family sets out for a hospital where all refugees who are legally on their way to italy meet before departure. In the project run by the italian evangelical church. As a social worker in the wake of the lampedusa refugee disaster which cost almost four hundred lives the organization is trying to bring refugees to europe legally and safely to build a humanitarian corridor that politicians have failed to create. Its not like theyre doing nothing. But what theyre stupidly working on is building walls. Solve the problem and its a shame they support governments that dont respect human rights in that respect and they did it to money the religious organizations have managed to get the Italian Government to grant a thousand visas last year they brought about seven hundred migrants from lebanon to italy safely and without having to pay people smugglers large amounts for the dangerous crossing of the mediterranean sea. Its wonderful its like a dream come true. I hope the kids forget the bad things theyve lived through that they wont be sad anymore god willing. Given their. Reaction has been warmly welcoming migrants for almost twenty years the little town has been a safe haven for some five hundred people whose lives were in danger. Im just the mayor of a Small Community of fifteen hundred people but im very proud that weve been recognised the world over for the humanitarian work that we started. The families Living Conditions and every day are much better than in beirut but the family will really only settle then when the father finds a job and starts to earn his own living. And if you do not in fact we had more money in lebanon because we got support from the un. But the italians are much nicer than the lebanese they treat us with respect there they yelled a lot and i was reproached us when they gave us something you know. The idea of the humanitarian corridor is spreading france is planning to begin flying and refugees like the al j. D. S. And the polish bishops conference has also shown interest.

And went on. And now its on the label ideas series where we make people committed to preserving our planets climate feel right and for now. A Spanish Island off africa wants to be the first in the wilds to make do without fossil fuels. Thats what the residents of and yet oh one of the Canary Islands have been promised at least. All reports. Went to see how much progress is actually being made. Its early in the. Morning and. The trade winds are blowing the clouds over the volcanic mountains this Spanish Island off the west coast of africa is almost always windy so why not make use of it. The smallest of the Canary Islands is trying to realize big plans to supply all about surround seven thousand inhabitants with Sustainable Energy through a unique combination of wind and hydro power the energy shift has cost eighty three Million Euros and ran twenty million over budget critics say thats far too much even of half was covered by e. U. Subsidies but the project still hasnt those yeah stick supporters. What i mean. I think its very positive that as yet it was able to actually implement this project. At the beginning a lot of people doubted it could be done but today its a project that works one that creates jobs and brings in money. In the next few years it will turn a profit. But if you see the Wind Turbines produce more than enough energy to meet the islands own needs the extra electricity is used to pump water seven hundred meters up to a reservoir basin its one hundred fifty thousand cubic meters are a kind of natural insurance against when list days if the wind power drops off the water flows back downhill through a hydro power turbine bridging the sort fall. This one of a kind combination of energy from wind and water is aimed at reaching an elusive goal providing a steady unbroken stream of power even when nature doesnt play along but things havent worked out quite as planned because the region is earthquake prone the basins had to be built smaller than originally designed providing the entire island with green energy was always an ambitious goal and it still hasnt been reached last year the new facility only generate at forty percent of the power consumed on. The original calculations were higher but structural problems meant those plans couldnt be realized. What really threw them out of kilter with the low water basin which we couldnt build to the size that we wanted. Thats now proving a hindrance to producing them not Sustainable Energy we want. Thats disappointed many of the islands residents they had hoped electricity bills would fall instead just like in the rest of the country costs for power have actually gone up thats because prices for energy are regulated centrally in spain lots of people now say the project was all wind and no substance. So. They announced that our island would be provided with one hundred percent Sustainable Energy and that hasnt happened we ask why not and dont get any answers somebody needs to explain to us why its not working. But uppers once promised to shut down the old diesel driven power plant but no one talks about that anymore a fuel tanker still makes regular trips to the island and the old plant smokestacks still blow lots of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere as the brand new wind turbine spin on the heights above. The operators. Press spokeswoman defends the expensive investment she says that despite speed bumps al Heroes Energy mix is now much more environmentally friendly but it was in the past. In the first year of operations in twenty sixteen we saved nearly seven thousand tonnes of diesel that means we admitted fourteen thousand tons less of c o two and other islands will profit from the pioneering work weve done what did we get right what wrong its in the nature of things that pioneering projects are experimental and that they also serve to help optimize future facilities. The engineers are certain they can improve efficiency in their Sustainable Energy mix but theyve grown much more careful about what they promise a series of advances plan to reignite enthusiasm for the project among residents and encourage other islands to follow in their footsteps you nasco Biosphere Reserve is doing its best to continue to be a leader in Environmental Protection el euro used to be viewed by european sailors as the end of the world but when it comes to shifting completely to or knew about energy at least its now made progress toward a new beginning.
