00:15:03Germany, protests against armament.
00:15:06Gibraltar, lifting of controls after more than a hundred years.
00:15:10Majorca, more than parties and beaches.
00:15:24Yes. Good day. Friedrich Merz has many wishes and
00:15:28goals. With the latter, as he himself admits, things are not going
00:15:32as he wishes. One
00:15:35he is resolutely working on, is to make the Bundeswehr
00:15:39the strongest conventional army in Europe.
00:15:43And that is why his government has promised the Chancellor
00:15:45to provide all the financial resources needed
00:15:49for that. We are talking about billions of euros that are often
00:15:52lacking in other areas. Of course,
00:15:56the military industry is rubbing its hands together with satisfaction and preparing for
00:15:59a historic investment program.
00:16:02The historically burdened Rheinmetall corporation
00:16:05plans to produce military technology in its Berlin
00:16:09plant instead of civil automotive components. However, not
00:16:12everyone supports
00:16:15this. It's a sunny afternoon in Berlin,
00:16:19a procession of protesters passes through the city streets.
00:16:23They believe that the decision to convert the car parts factory into
00:16:26the production of shells for artillery ammunition will encourage military
00:16:30conflicts and cost human
00:16:31lives.
00:16:44Rheinmetall, founded in 1889,
00:16:48is one of Germany's oldest arms manufacturers.
00:16:51The company supplied Hitler's war machine, and this legacy
00:16:55still negatively affects the public perception of Rheinmetall
00:16:58today. Today, this concern wants to be a leader in the development
00:17:02of military technology. Its tanks and other systems
00:17:05are used in Ukraine, while demand across NATO
00:17:09is rapidly growing. Ryan Matall is a company obviously now going into
00:17:13defense innovation, but what we're learning about war is you still
00:17:16need armor and you need lots of it and you need to replace it if it's
00:17:20damaged or destroyed. Ryan metal had
00:17:23previously um made relatively small amounts and batches
00:17:27necessary for nations. Now they're realizing they have to ramp up production and be
00:17:31able to sustain large amounts of production for what we see now as an era
00:17:34of longer wars. They argue that opening
00:17:38a military industry factory in the capital could make Berlin
00:17:42a potential target in case of conflict. Many
00:17:45protesters are also outraged that, as they claim,
00:17:49Germany supplies Israel with weapons produced by Rheinmetall.
00:17:52On the other hand, the transition from producing auto
00:17:56parts to producing parts for armaments could
00:17:59bring economic benefits. Germany needs
00:18:02manufacturing jobs, these are good jobs, they're relatively well-paying, and the
00:18:06NATO alliance.
00:18:37that many want Germany to stay out of wars, to
00:18:41limit the influence of the powerful military industry, but they
00:18:45do not answer the question of how Germany can simultaneously
00:18:48contribute to the defense of the European
00:18:50Union.
00:18:55Politicians celebrate it as a historic agreement, and numerous
00:18:58citizens and tourists welcome it with relief. After
00:19:02more than a hundred years, border controls have been removed between
00:19:05the British overseas territory of Gibraltar and
00:19:08Spain. No more long waits at the border, no
00:19:12fence, but there are still other negative
00:19:15consequences. Here's what
00:19:17it's about.
00:19:19Gibraltar and Spain share a turbulent history. After much
00:19:23tension, the British overseas territory is now getting closer to
00:19:26Spain. July 15th should go
00:19:29down in history textbooks. One of the approximately 15,000
00:19:33Spanish commuters traveling to Gibraltar is Alfredo
00:19:36Valencia. This 56-year-old crosses the
00:19:39border every morning, the opening is a special moment for
00:19:42him.
00:19:45pues supone un alivio mental, en principio, el
00:19:48estar media hora, 45 minutos, hasta tres
00:19:514 horas en cola para salir, la verdad que no solo es una
00:19:54desesperación, sino que además supone una pérdida de
00:19:58tiempo porque los que salimos salimos de trabajar, necesitamos comer, necesitamos
00:20:02deskansar. Alfredo Valencia took all of this as
00:20:05a necessary evil, because in Gibraltar, he earns more than on the Spanish
00:20:09side.
00:20:12In any case, Gibraltar is growing, every square meter is being built,
00:20:15and, according to the Prime Minister, this trend will
00:20:18continue.
00:20:23it will give the world certainty that you can come and go from
00:20:27gibralta and spain and the rest of the shengen area without having to
00:20:31be worried about bureaucratic processes that have got in the way
00:20:34until now slowing you down. million. tourists
00:20:38visit Gibraltar every year, partly due to the more favorable
00:20:41alcohol prices that existed earlier. However, the price
00:20:44of opening the border is higher taxes agreed
00:20:48upon by the EU and Great Britain.
00:20:52Gibraltar is also known for numerous service providers such as
00:20:55online betting shops. The opening of the border would also be interesting
00:20:59for expansion plans.
00:21:13The Spanish border region couldn't imagine anything better. More
00:21:17jobs, more tax revenue.
00:21:21Nosotros estamos convencidos de que la gran oportunidad que tenemos ahora
00:21:25es el momento de aprovecharla, si se estableciera esa zona
00:21:28económica especial, nosotros ahora mismo estamos en la Unión Europea,
00:21:32Jibraltar no, y nos consta que hay empresas que están radicadas en
00:21:35Gibraltar que quieren seguir manteniendo actividad en Gibraltar, pero
00:21:38también quieren instalarse lo que es el mercado único que del que formamos
00:21:42parte. So, border queues are now
00:21:45a thing of the past, yet in the short term not everything will be better just
00:21:49because
00:21:51border controls disappear.
00:21:54Do you know what Agenda 2030 is?
00:21:57These are the sustainable development goals for which their promoters like
00:22:01to say that by fulfilling them, humanity
00:22:04is saved. Billions have already been spent on
00:22:07this project. Individuals working on these goals have enjoyed
00:22:11well-paid jobs, but we are not only
00:22:14far from fulfilling them, but in some
00:22:18areas even a decline
00:22:20has been recorded. But here is an example that speaks of
00:22:24small shifts. On an island known for mass tourism,
00:22:28Spanish Majorca, environmentally friendly
00:22:31energy alternatives are currently being tested. This is about green hydrogen
00:22:35which is key to achieving energy goals by
00:22:382030.
00:22:41Fun, that's what Majorca is known for, just like its
00:22:44beaches. But in the interior of the island, a completely
00:22:48different atmosphere prevails from the famous wild
00:22:51coast. Here, next to the cement factory, something
00:22:55from which many expect a lot, hydrogen,
00:22:58is being produced. Plans for this project have existed since 2019. But it was only
00:23:02last year that work really gained momentum. The plant
00:23:06has a power of 2.5
00:23:07MW.
00:23:15The key thing is that this is not just about hydrogen production, but
00:23:18about how it can be used on the island and what advantages
00:23:22it brings. The first examples are city buses in
00:23:25Palma. Five buses have been using hydrogen as
00:23:29fuel for more than a year. However, due to
00:23:32other technical problems, these buses often do not
00:23:34operate. That is why it is not surprising that the city transport
00:23:38company has in the meantime ordered new buses from other
00:23:41manufacturers. A second example is a hotel with more than 200
00:23:45beds. The hotel company Iberostar
00:23:48recently put its first fuel cell into operation. It not
00:23:52only produces electricity, but also heat, which is
00:23:56useful even in the middle of summer.
00:23:59pues ayuda pues a todo lo que ves en la en la habitación no
00:24:03pues iluminación, aire acondicionado,
00:24:06etcétera, en un porcentaje aproximadamente del
00:24:0920% nivel de de todo el hotel, y luego
00:24:13aparte de eso la pila es una pila de cogeneración, entonces produce un
00:24:16calor que nos ayuda a precalentar el agua.
00:24:23even 70% of the hotel's thermal energy needs
00:24:27are covered by the fuel cell.
00:24:29It is important for Iberostar to gain experience that it can later
00:24:32apply in its hotels on other
00:24:35continents.
00:24:39Todos estos destinos son muy distintos, las condiciones, las infraestructuras son muy
00:24:43diferentes.
00:24:46No en todos sitios, no en todos los lugares podemos tener la electricidad tan.
00:24:53The third example is the port in Palma, where a fuel
00:24:56cell is currently being connected. It should primarily
00:24:59provide electricity for this passenger
00:25:02terminal, and later also for ferries while they are anchored in
00:25:05the port.
00:25:1224 horas es necesario incrementar un término de potencia
00:25:15elevado con un consumo fijo importante de alguna
00:25:18manera es una ineficiencia.
00:25:21There is also a fourth example, it currently consumes
00:25:24the most green hydrogen produced in Majorca, the gas network.
00:25:39On the Spanish mainland, billions of euros are currently being invested in significantly
00:25:42larger hydrogen production projects. These will
00:25:46also use the experience gained in Majorca.
00:25:51How to make construction material for the future from waste,
00:25:54which at the same time does not contain harmful substances, is not
00:25:58flammable, is resistant to mold and rot. This is precisely what
00:26:02a young German entrepreneur from the island of Poel in
00:26:05the Baltic Sea is working on. He decided to transform
00:26:09a natural material that accumulates on beaches into thermal insulation
00:26:12material. We are talking about what you would most like to avoid
00:26:16in summer while walking on the beach or swimming in
00:26:18the sea.
00:26:20Seagrass provides shelter and food for marine organisms.
00:26:24However, when waves wash it ashore, it becomes waste, as
00:26:28is the case on the beach of the island of Poel in the Baltic Sea. But
00:26:31it is precisely this waste that is an ideal raw material
00:26:35for building houses, says young entrepreneur Vincent
00:26:39Marnic. Once cleaned and dried, seagrass becomes valuable
00:26:41material.
00:26:49On the small Baltic island of Poel, beach cleaners go out
00:26:52every morning before tourists arrive. Every year, the sea
00:26:56washes about 100 tons of seagrass onto the island. That is why the local
00:27:00tourist board supports this
00:27:02project.
00:27:04am Ende stehen vielleicht dann auch mal Einsparung im Bereich der Entsorgungskosten, weil
00:27:08zurzeit ist auch die Biomasse, die wir dann loswerden
00:27:12möchten,
00:27:13kostenintensiv.
00:27:16Vincent Marnic received permission to set up facilities for the production
00:27:20of this ecological insulation material at the municipal waste
00:27:24dump. First, sand and seagrass are separated
00:27:27in a special drum, then the seagrass is dried
00:27:31in specially constructed boxes using
00:27:34solar energy. After
00:27:37processing, only 5% of pure seagrass remains from the total
00:27:40mass. Everything else is sand. For now, this
00:27:44material is used exclusively in private construction. Testing
00:27:47procedures are underway to approve seagrass
00:27:51as an insulation material throughout Europe. Many are
00:27:55interested in Marnic's process. For now, he cannot
00:27:59produce sufficient quantities. So far, he has installed
00:28:02insulation material in 25 houses, among them
00:28:05is the house of Willi Marten who chose material from the sea
00:28:09also because it does not contain harmful substances. He
00:28:13insulates the floors of his bedrooms
00:28:15with it.
00:28:19Uns kümmert auch so ein bisschen die Entsorgung, weil wir halt ein Alt Bausanieren,
00:28:23kennt man sich ja aus mit Sachen, die man entsorgen muss, und ich kann mir
00:28:26vorstellen, dass man Seegras, falls man das Haus irgendwann wieder abreißen sollte,
00:28:30auch leichter wieder ähm...
00:28:33Since seagrass contains a lot of salt, it is not flammable,
00:28:37and its price is only slightly higher than other insulation
00:28:40materials. Vincent Marnic wants to further
00:28:44improve his production process, he hopes that
00:28:47soon he will be able to process seagrass from other municipalities
00:28:51along the Baltic coast. This way he could meet the great
00:28:54demand, because every year the sea washes tens of thousands
00:28:58of tons of seagrass
00:30:25Good evening, dear viewers, welcome to
00:30:27the news.
00:30:32Very. Demanding fire season, firefighters continue
00:30:35to fight fires across Bosnia and Herzegovina, helicopters
00:30:38of the armed forces engaged near Bosansko Grahovo and
00:30:42Bihać.
00:30:46From the news tonight, we also
00:30:47highlight.
00:30:52Fires are raging across Europe. In Croatia, four
00:30:55arrested on suspicion of causing
00:30:58fires.
