at this market price hikes and pay cut put goods increasingly out of reach. our biggest problem is electricity. we have two generators. each day this cost is $84 in fuel. to use them from 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning until 2:00 a.m. -- isa's protection perpetually on the verge of a humanitarian crisis. the border with egypt is closed. tunnels used for smuggling have been destroyed. >> we can't calculate losses. our high is summer and that's already out the window. israel has reduced gaza's electricity supply alleging that the palestinian authority was refusing to pay. according to the united nations more than 95% of gaza's water is undrinkable. hamas is more politically isolated than ever. the political situation is catastrophic. the isolation can be expected to last as well as the economic blockade on the gaza strip. >> hamas benefits from this port of qatar. -- the support of qatar. >> them to france in focus. -- welcome to france in focus. in 1977 the demonstrations turned violent. 2000 protesterss -- 60,000 protesters came up against thousands of officers. one person died. nuclear energy prevailed. chernobyl catastrophe frightened france. >> it will be the same here if everything goes wrong. >> in 2011 another does a. the nuclear plant in japan was hit i assume not me. the vulnerability of nuclear power was brought to the foreground. and seismicoding activity. many local or still wrote nuclear. -- many locals were still pro-nuclear. 'sday around 75% of france power comes from nuclear energy. this nuclear plant has a full reactor. are currently operational. around one third of the nuclear reactors in france will have the 40 year mark by 2022. should they all be dismantled or renovated and allowed to continue operating? knownrance was best nuclear power plant. it's also the oldest. 1978 andmmissioned in along with dozens of other french nuclear plants it's starting to age. 34 of france's 58 reactors are more than 30 years old. but how old is too old for a nuclear reactor? loans don't give the reactors a definitive lifetime but the operator must thoroughly inspect the safety every 10 years. after that the authority will come to a decision on the site's future operation. reactors were joined to operate over a period of four years. it has to renovate the reactors. something that doesn't come cheap. overhauling the reactors will cost the alien euro's. auditorscourt of reckons that's way below the mark. the cost at closer to 100 billion euro's. work on the reactor started back in february. these components are closely scrutinized and analyzed. it makes sense to extend the lifetime of the reactors. the equipment is in perfect condition. with a little bit of investment we can guarantee safety. the french government aims to reduce the share of energy generated by nuclear reactors to 50% of the total. nine reactors are currently being decommissioned in france. complex andis both costly. toxic material must be removed. the equipment has to be dismantled. it's an operation that can take dozens of years. according to a recent report edf has largely underestimated the difficulty and the cost of the tasks facing it. european operators earmark 1.3 billion euro's to dismantle each reactor. edf only sets aside 350 million. the nuclear reactor has been in that since 1985. more than 30 years later it hasn't been fully decommissioned. getting rid of nuclear waste remains atop priority. how exactly is contamination they do to what can ensure nuclear spells never happened. this is just any research center. most of the work takes place underground. 500 meters below the surface across a network of tunnels scientist and engineer's are working to have this site ready to store vast amounts of france's nuclear waste. this includes some of the most hazardous waste on earth. chosen because of the quality of its clay. for the storage of radioactive waste the main enemy is water. 150 meters underground there is no water search lading. the big advantage. site will house intermediate and high level waste. only a tiny fraction of nuclear waste is high level. it takes much longer to decay to safe levels. the waste will be vitrified and placed in stainless steel containers that will be delivered to these tunnels. all of the handling will be done by robots. they will put cases we are currently testing in place and even if needed recover them up to a century later. once the facility is filled it will become a gigantic clay coffin that's designed to stay sealed for 100,000 years. campaigners say this is impossible to guarantee. >> and underground structure over such a long period of time. be can we be sure there will no earthquakes, no fault lines created, it will remain watertight? >> in 2018 the project will be assessed by the nuclear safety authority. it willins approval officially become a deep storage facility. clear the nearby trees. environmentalists have been putting up a fight. in the summer of 2016 the french court declared this was illegal. protesters claimed victory. the national agency for nuclear waste disposal say whatever happens to the trees the project will go ahead. we are in a town not far from where the nuclear plant is located. many of the residents here work in the facility. their fortunes are tied to the french nuclear industry. they don't fear for their safety. >> it's one of the oldest nuclear power plants in france. thectly in its shadow reactors were constructed in 1978. a few months after -- but most residents aren't worried by their nuclear neighbor. grexit even living next-door i'm not concerned. it could be the power plant or it could be a car that kills us. no such thing as a zero risk. there's about 300 or 400 people in the village next-door. there is no ignoring the reactors. full moving to the village are warned of the possibility of an accident and given a welcome guide by the mayor. people who moved to the area are given one of these leaflets which explain the security measures put in place in case there is an alert and there is a coupon included to get iodine tablets from the pharmacy. at the base of the reactor these residents are against the power plant. about therried incidents that have already taken place. there have already been problems. there have been a few small in dense. i have a copy of the newspaper that says the power station almost overheated. today around 6 million people in france

takes the form of a woman with two irises and two pupils in each eye. we end up in mesopotamia. tom cruise and his sidekick are in the u.s. military but they are also owns the list -- unscrupulous plunderers of anti-any. we get mummies that seem like zombies and vampires. a half-baked loaf story and incoherent riff on dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. an apparent almost to dr. strangelove and lots of unconvincing fight scenes here if a sandstorm in the heart of london. staring semi-concerned at spots where digitally produced special effects are likely to arrive. the hollywood reporter says it's time for tom cruise to act his age. he usually picks decent material. >> he is just waste it here. there are six or seven minutes of closing credits. it takes a lot of people to make a really bad

monk. it's the opposite. the poster fooled me, too. when i took comparative religion in college i never dreamed i would have occasion to call a specific buddhist monk a scumbag. that is the word that applies in this case to this man. he is a contemptible and objectionable person but the film leaves you to believe at first the something else. somebody says buddhism. most of us think piece or

more to this place than the carnival in rio or the rainforests. i'm traveling to a lesser known region, at least from the western point of view--the northeast state of paranambuco. the last time i was here was in 2008. i got me a bunch of albums, local stuff. on the plane, after reaching cruising altitude, i ordered cachaca on the rocks and slammed in the earbuds. the music had me flying even higher. it was a traditional paranambuco sound fused with rock, funk, hip hop, and reggae. it was something compmpletely open-minded and unashamed, music that didn't
