This week and global three thousand we head under water down under where the Great Barrier reef is in mortal danger. And we head to chile to see how pharmacies 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 liner hidari goes down under this bridge in kabul a grim site 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. If whatever you want to come with me you should stand up. A voice from the group shouts everyone here wants to go with you. Do you really want to come. 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 them and the bus she had arranged ahead of time. They are driven to a house at the edge of the city. Marriage but are there more published and why do i do this. My brother was. I had to watch him slowly lose everything first his job then 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 halle under the bridge should mark a new beginning also physically. Laila 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 lightless Therapy Program does have a limit 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 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. Along 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 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 a 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. Until 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 a bridge.

Next morning ulis clad in a more streisand facial mask an antidote to too little sleep one of his pupils pops by she wants advice from the man she calls the grandmaster grandmaster not many come to my chat room what can i do differently. You need to show you Something Special something that makes people laugh all relax is going to mentally if you want them to like you some part of you needs to echo in their hearts. For. Being 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 is 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 for 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. Then theres a flatmate next door noisily wrapping it breakneck speed. Yes i. Was.

With them they want when you lean out things on a different scale everything has to be big like his new headquarters where one being new and the other live streamers will be based. The architect explains that this is where the accounts department will be because its a good thing shway and dont forget says uli to plan enough space for my Good Business buddha. And then its back to his marble and guild suite its nearly show time again his hours of flirtation with the lonely and the rich who he must entertain and who are becoming more and more demanding more critical when he repeats himself suddenly it all comes out. 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 had. Rising Energy Prices have been making it harder for Dairy Farmers to living. 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 reporter met fullness who are addressing the problem. Its not a bad life for a cow here no where 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 or no. Rianna more has been a vama verde ideas 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 whenever you go looking for one on the ground we have to work with what nature gives back nature and take what it offers us but we mustnt harm and. The only way we can meet the earth in good shape for our descendants about this in this way. 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 for energy costs are now eight percent lower. And here in the south and generates up to three hundred watts and that you 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 as 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. To get them 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 out. A few years ago i had no 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. The milk arrives here with a temperature of thirty seven degrees celsius. And is cooled by water thats ten degrees and i mean i think about that water in the back of the milk has 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 a good sign exposure but also a lot of rain there. 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. Adriano 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. Your keyboard evolved them or that we 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 immense beauty and diversity but it is under threat in fact it may be dying a slow death.
