Were on our way out of the rocky capital in the direction of iran, the source of the crystal mac, the post city of basra and the surrounding region. All controlled by conservative, she and malicious, were told as more crystal changing hands here than anywhere else in the country and more addicts. One reason for the dramatic increase in activity is the official by on alcohol introduced and the spring says narcotics agent alisha. He recently joined the use task force to show things to this or can hear the spread of drugs on this scale is also because of a band alcohol which are like the whole year. And because the kids had really easy access to like the like the crystal mesh cuts through class divisions. Sure. Yeah. Introduce this to most stuff. Its been an addict since he left high school. He comes from a respected family and his mode with children himself, which is why he wants to remain anonymous. While its also that i kept on taking it, the middle lot of people doing the same. Even government officials hired it seemed to me like a choice between death and jail. With stuff of found alisha via social media. He helped him to break the addiction. Something that only a small percentage of chief the agent takes, is along a visit to the local jail. Its terribly of a crowd, primarily with alex in dallas. We say shocking, lee crum conditions which were not allowed to fail. Hussein went to college. Hes been here for 2 years now and she having a cell with hundreds of other inmates audiences.

And the punishment for the 52 year old father, life imprisonment, fucked. A drug dealer saw me. Why did he always feel so safe . Wasnt he afraid of getting caught . Dont want to take, the government is completely broken in. And thats where most of the drug dealers come to the high ranking officers. And if they tell you to carry on and keep the or, or do you know, youre ok the were unable to verify his claims. But what we can say, im a deal of doctors and addicts agree, is that the country has a new devastating bottle on his hands. The depends bus right, continues to full nose to you. The population shrank substantially. Pike, 800000, out of a total of a 125000000. 00 people. Thats the biggest drop ever recorded in the country. On top of that, japan has an aging population. So whats the own face . The best rates and we headed to a courtesy to find out more the it might not be music to everyones ends, but they shone a house and live in a place to another day of happy may him in this multi Street Office building the far as he is in akashi, decided to keep one flow for themselves and then gave free reign to the younger generation. Deanna and khaki thought tiny, a big funds of this centrally located family facility. They moved west to the mall, display 550 from tokyo and have since have 2 children. So they dont miss the capital. Cannot see so no, its really easy to get talking to people and swap information. Vocal akashi is a place that makes you feel totally at home. Home akashi made a concerted effort to attract most families. The architect of those kinds was for my masters ah, who is the man to play and he likes a bit of time for marie himself. What was originally planned as office space is now also a big place for state juniors because we turned into a no fuss environment with the families to spend time to school. She actually has a nursing room and stroller parking coast. So good because she is now a city for children with this being the most visible example in a much so you know, the entire city has changed much of the inside of costs because of a cornerstone of the new policy is day. Nursery school in kindergarten or free off to the 2nd child plus the city covers all Health Care Costs for the youngsters. And theres no shortage of them. And kashi will go to go see compared to tokyo and other cities in japan, children here have a lot more time and opportunity for playing with kids in the same age. And they really love it. And thats 3 year old leone is in his element. And to ensure that he in the little pals are in safe hands, the city provides a sufficient number of qualified karens in japan. Like in many other places. Its not the best paid profession. But here they given assistance with finding an apartment and in advance for the rent and stuff you commit to staying in the city for longer paid more for parents, thats the added bonus. But diapers that delivered free to that do the because shes best rate is rising again. That in general, japan faces a growing crisis. There are few of babies. And in the meantime, few are young women to it. Were such as on show that things can be turned around. One major reason for the dramatic population decline is the cost of child care, which is why the cultural thursdays decided to take action. It was there any head that starting a family became financially viable for the stuff that needs. That dream they say, would not have been an option in tokyo. Judy on a sunday and her husband both working parents, the 2 in comes together with the low cost of living or win combination here. They can afford to rent an entire house full of things, attractive conditions play to pods in this building. A family having kids would have been practically, im thinkable in the big city what everything costs a lot of money. I call shes Family Friendly policies. Are a game changer for many young couples or perhaps will even have a 3rd child. Its possible here. Were also under less emotional pressure to think about it because she is now home to children who might not have been born in other parts of the country. The initiator of the program, shes all who is a me, enjoys many celebrity spaces, not just because of his family policy, for the month or so. As a result of our actions, families are spending more money locally. That means the boost for the regional economy. And the revival of shopping streamline. So the, the increasing attempts have been used to investing in children has helped to improve the economy here. Yep. Okay. The local parents and residents in general appreciate a call. Shes fluids thinking vision. While elsewhere in japan, children are becoming rarer, couldnt you know much . I think its a whole country, but to move in the same direction as our city. It would benefit greatly. And i was looking at about the, the growing number of cities all following a cautions lead. They might not have such an lively mass, but that is a growing desire to see japan assume a more Family Friendly to the be this week on global teen comes from south africa. The, my name is c a and i live in, so its a township inside his book. And so its always mostly known for a lot of historic people. Theres a whole lot of stuff that i would love to do. I would actually love to join the amc, then be part of the African National congress. Id also like to open that very quickly with the elliptical to parents because of the sits of love. Im a very romantic person and then hopefully to move uh, maybe one the proposal my future life on the apple tower in patters. The a lot of things make me happy, seeing my family happy makes me happy. Seeing my niece and my nephew a week and im going to school in the morning and then bring us provisions. Other children makes me happy. I love what am i for me . Just seeing as 2 kids, the people are not as low as people. You dont get time to spend the to family, end of the say, you dont realize what youre having to this going. So im, im giving them the flowers all distilled here. The. The biggest settings is our phase every day. We probably have to be waking up in the morning, getting ready and getting to the scope and time would be to be the settings. Okay. So if it did get into the plus the one time, because most of the time as long as you get chosen by the so my passion is fish and im a design, i make codes, you know, with that being said, im a design im, im a close with no seeing machine, but it only these 2 hands, these 2 hands in the needle, the kind of change is a big problem. So difficult a big problem. And when and when it does happen, it actually who is the lives of millions and millions of people because millions and millions of people. Okay, didnt lose their homes meetings and meet the people, get their homes flooded with the information in their homes, such as their identification and passports and says it is its, its a tragedy in the head. Some many people out on the road. The booming economy is typically seen this. A good thing. Rose creates jobs, raises the stance of living and boost consumption. Despite coming crises, the Global Economy continues to expand this use as the c d slice re percent next year by almost the same again. But consumerism is destroying the planet. So is it time to give it a lot . Having more has given us a lot of comfort and a lot of choice. So its a pretty big price tag, like more Carbon Emissions, more resource depletion, more pollution, our addiction to making and consuming more stuff is exhausting the planet. Everyones talking about avoiding a climate catastrophe. But its switching to Renewable Energy and buying electric cars while keeping the status quote. Really going to help a growing number of people say no, they want us to fundamentally change the way we run our economies. And with that, our lives, some call it the growth for decades, countries have been judged by the growth of their g, d p. Thats gross domestic product. The more goods and services produced, the higher the g, d p, the cooler the country to keep having ged, be great, accumulating you also need to keep having more material stuff extracting and going through the economy. This is not sustainable on on ups. On it was, you know, a finite amount of resources. So this is where the idea of the growth comes in. The term, the growth is credited onto the gourds, an austrian french social philosopher, who in 1972 question whether it was a good idea to constantly make more stuff. Shortly after academics at the Massachusetts Institute of technology, publish a report called the limits of growth. This rigorous forecast concluded that unless growth was curved, civilization would collapse like 2070 to suffice to say it didnt go down. Well, the academic journal nature even called it a width of doomsday. D growth talks starting to crop up again in the 2 thousands. Once data began to show just how it reversed sibley, we were harming the planet. A recent paper in nature. Yes, the one who puts the gross back in the seventys suggested that it should be widely and thoroughly considered. And the term has now made its way into the most recent, i pcc report on how to stay below 1. 5 degrees celsius. One day growth approach that has been widely considered is decoupling where you get to maintain Economic Growth while reducing Carbon Emissions. Where i live in the u. K, its very proud of itself because it claims that its managed to successfully de compromise its economy while g d p. I mean, its not doing well, but g d p is, is growing slowly while our mission is appeared to be going down. Surprisingly, especially countries with advanced economies have been able to do it. For example, by shifting towards Renewable Energy sources like denmark, which reduced its consumption based emissions by 35 percent between 22019. 00. Well growing the g d p per capita by 16 percent. Germany reduce its Carbon Emissions per capita by 24 percent in the same timeframe while growing 26 percent. And even the United States did the same. Which sounds great and definitely as a 1st step. But the problem is that the coupling is only concerned about c o 2. We live in many ecological crises, not just one. Its not just an issue of fossil fuel emissions. So here, if we just say was about the colonization, i mean, you were missing ecological need. Great ation. Biodiversity last, the u. K. Has some of the worst by diversity of any country in the world. Never mind, he just doesnt solve that problem. What next . The problem is even those who support would be growth stands for thinks the word itself is problem. Attic. Why dont like the term . The road . Is it . It has a negative feel to ethic, shes thing is shrinking material, the material inputs into economic activity. The growth sound scary, like it wants people to return to the dark ages. But it actually us means scaling down the least sustainable industries, like mass produced meat and dairy fast fashion car and eva sion manufacturing or ensuring that the things we rely on refrigerators, phones, washing machines, have a longer shelf life repairing. Instead of replacing something the moment it stops working. So its not just about stopping growth, but about increasing growth and sectors that benefit society as a whole. Like creating green jobs, trading workers, uninstalling, Renewable Energy, insulating buildings, and regenerating eco systems, and investing and Public Transportation and services. What does that just Wishful Thinking . Might this new approach to growth actually make life worse for us . This is a crux of the growth debate. Would unravel the advances humans have made many facets of modern life, like living longer and lower rates of Child Mortality are associated with high g d, p. Among other factors. Economists that are in favor of the current system, say that more immediately the gross could mean widespread job loss, mortgage default and business closures. That it would force us all into a permanent recession per tailing, research and innovation. The thing is we need to develop green and more efficient technologies. The problem is that active di growth hasnt happened anywhere yet. Meaning that nobody knows whether is that what happens . How do you address the creation of a world where rich countries dont . Thats actually slammed the doors by themselves and say, you know, were gonna, were going to diminish our growth of that. But you know, were not gonna let you catch up to as to where we are. And that is a challenge. And a lot of the solutions around that involved in a large scale redistribution of wealth resources between countries that, that might be possible in a perfect world. But in the real world its, its very politically challenging. One suggestion by d. Groceries is that on payable debts held by low and middle Income Countries should be cancelled so that they can focus their spending on public services. The idea is to even the Playing Field key things for the global south, our technology transfer. So, you know, to leapfrog dirty technologies to get the, the, you know, sort of latest generation or Renewable Technologies to global self countries for their energy needs, number to finance conference finance to make that possible and also to finance other poverty alleviation. And so for supporters say that through economic the growth, the needs of more people could actually be served. Still, we seem to perceive increasing g d p as a sign that were winning. That however you frame it, giving it up for the sake of our future on this plan, it sounds to most people like were asking them to start losing. So is the answer to deliberately slow down Economic Growth. You wont find many governments willing to do that. Moving away from cdp, for example, to metrics that value, you know, human impact across what price of dimensions, you know, those Human Development index you and provides is a good example of that. You know, theres been some experimentation with like the country baton and its gross happiness and acts that theyve talked a lot about. And so there might be ways to redefine these metrics of success that would make it more palatable for, for politicians to embrace things that dont necessarily increase g d p, but increase the average wellbeing of people. Im in a, in a way that, you know, is less resource intensive or destructive. Another example is what former new zealand Prime Minister just in the art or and didnt 2019 when she announced National Budget that prioritize citizen wellbeing and happiness over g. D. P, an Economic Growth under the budget. All news funding was required to advance government priorities, like improving mental health, reducing child poverty, and addressing the any qualities faced by its indigenous population, d, groceries and vision, an economy driven by alternative principles, the wage warranty grace is the we need to imagine a different feature a new ecological, a new relationship between humans and non human nature in which she met humanity because the nature considerations drive the jeep to africa.
