been 2 years ago, it created thousands of jobs, but now active us suppose the factory and want to preserve night. so that's our next to now. sorry. report on jarred rate in building. thank you so much for your company. have a good evening. the guys, he's got issues with a lot say what the,

the people here are being taken for a ride test level will make sure that this is the gemstone area for 74 years. and for the water system, we oppose such as the pen here in canada. because we can't afford to carry on this way. why so who lives? multi billionaire, he alone must, once it's company tesla to expand the giga factory in germany, knocked down parts of this forest. turning what was once a sleepy little germantown upside down. it's a battle of david versus goliath. the

24 year old roman is ready to climb up to his current home. he has been living in a tree house in the forest for the past month. that's not 1st of all, i love forest isn't very much. i always feel deeply happy in the woods, but ever since i got here, i've also felt fully grounded. but a part of this forest is to be cut down to expand a factory that is building climate friendly electric cars. a contradiction says roman who is set to start his master's, specializing in environmental protection. he and others are occupying the trees as a form of civil resistance to tesla. many of the active as cover their faces when the cameras are on. roman's name is also only an alias testifies, this new testament is graded, selling what they're doing as

a solution to green alternatives to what we already have. we can't afford to carry on this way and that's when it's like a long term lot to everyone will be able to have a car come over. as long as it's because in time sheet on auto hub. ready ready ready ready wire parts of as far as the danger. let's run through it. in 201911, most adults. but tesla would be coming to green height of a small town. just east of berlin. mosque bought land from the state of brandenburg to build a massive factory. this plant produces test those model. why? for the european and international market, a mid range s u v, which was the world's best selling car last year. currently, tests that produces around $300000.00 electric cars per year at clean hide and wants to more than tripled this number of scaling. the production process would require tests low to expand the giga factory, knocking down a part of a forest for a logistics center. and a train station this is some things we'd hide

a resident model we, la jolla will not stand for. we met her because she found the local citizens initiative and as campaigning loudly against any further expansion. since day one, she's been fighting against the giga factories, destruction of the environment as she calls that, the young people living in the camp. the calm, her natural allies, this on toy as it does. it's great that so many young people are committed to preserving the forest and water act as why does this lots of and that's why these are the most of this forest. and the area of the head isn't the drinking water protection zone. the some goose entire on things like that. for beach. not just the trees are a point of concern in the ground beneath live vital water supplies. if these were to be contaminated, tens of thousands of people might find themselves without drinking water. she fears

this isn't comstock, it's a bottle of david versus goliath. it's a fight that just makes you feel powerless and angry. at times i went over and knocked in a recent poll, held, including height of over 60 percent of citizens voted against the test. those plans to expand the plans, even though tesla, hudson scaled down its plans, the company is still set on expanding its facility. every stay notes here for these are size pops here. we are standing in front of this darned factory on the i want to tell you understand about the survey showing the residents of gluten high to didn't want an expansion, idaho one. and we'll continue to find it again, can test or should stay on the site. that's already been ruined and not clear any more forest timing, vitamin vitamin, who we want to hear test left side of the story. but our interview requests go on, answered the company is in from us for not replying to media or requests. however,

what is known is that they've built a brand new industrial water filtration system. it allows the giga factory to recycle almost all of its industrial wastewater. but despite testers environmental efforts, the giga factory continues to face heavy resistance. in march, a power mask was set on fire. a radical leftist group claimed responsibility for the attack, which halted production at tesla 4 days costing the company. millions in moscow called the group, the quote, almost eco terrorists on earth for stopping the production of electric vehicles. and visited the plant include height of the attack was condemned by local authorities and mark the biggest escalation. so far we want to hear an expert's take on the environmental situation. i need water scientist, my team push. he says the area has been heavily impacted by climate change,

and despite recent reins is usually one of the driest regions in germany. this is me because i'm a public than usual to build a fence to be in a water protection area. people are worried about test. so now is all the body of water where the factory is located is one of the few we have in this region, multiple buttons if it were to become polluted and that'd be nothing to replace it with a flip. some good of that but the factory also has supporters among the local population. my nom as i screwed up, my name is brecht cooler and from june. hi to innovation in the future are important to me. and i think it's important. i'm good. the testing is here i've is trula as part of the different citizens initiative together with his friend to yes live. he follows and documents the development of giga berlin. so be you

definitely, steve, a test that everyone's talking about tests like tesla also influences everything through y'all. through tests and makes many decisions that provoke discussions we can do without god being can they say one of their goals is to bottle misinformation that has been pulled out by some of the test. let's opponents their initiative is they are to inform fellow citizens and enable affect driven debate grounded on a scientific basis. they say, just like the protesters in the camp, they are also worried about climate change. it's all about everyone always says electric cars can stop climate change on their own. that's true, but public transport can't either. nothing on its own can stop climate change and we need lots of different solutions. and it is a transportation is one of the. busy world's largest contributors to carbon emissions. electric vehicles are seen as part of the solution by many tesla which

specializes in these is the world's most valuable car company. ready currently, there are 5 giga factories operating around the world test. let's dig a factory in germany opened in 2022 and is the only one in europe. test will make sure that this is a, a gemstone for the area for germany, for europe, and for the world. the plant has generated economic growth in the region around 12000 people currently work a test line between height alone. tesla is such a big name, even germany's chancellor old offshore showed up for the opening, the elect and moving electron mobility will shape the mobility of the future. that is clear here today the plot, the, despite the support from the highest levels of government,

the 9000 people actually living. and we hired to have very mixed opinions on tesla . how many people we met, who refused to speak on cameras, said there was a tear running through the fabric of the town. families and friends are divided into separate camps, some criticized tesla. others be active as judgment. yeah, i think it's a shame. but if it brings any benefits to going high to in the region, i'd say yes and the other i was on went up to spike up, which i was basically in favor of tests are coming here. i still stand by that because it can only advance the region of i was actually a bit against expansion though because i think they should use the space they already have 1st to make sure, you know, i'm not, i'm just rather than protesting, they should be trying to get one of the jobs test was offering. how many members probably never worked a day in their lives. they should work for 48 years like i did. that entire will just lay about it's good for nothing's going. the,

this is where 2 worlds flush on their way to work. in the giga factory test, the workers have to pass by a t test lab protesters. very few of them ever stop at the info stands to chat with the actors. it's difficult for roman to find people to talk to so it's just him and the car accepted with us. if anything is for you that has to be 5 years ago, i would have said testament, amazing or something. i know them. i don't know. i have a different opinion with alta point than not such a car from these days. yeah, i think that we're simply spoiling a lot of opportunities with excessive individual transport. uh, fox news hall. so i told her own what does it say stuff tested? well filming in front of the main entrance, we are approached by

a test flight employee, a hello english. i just wanted a wondering what you guys filming, what are you guys up to which outlet you are from? yes, i am from pesa or are you probably are so sorry to say we don't really haven't press department to test. so usually our policy is, uh, i mean everybody has their own role here, obviously, so they can do whatever they want. but we usually have this then, but then nobody really talked to the press. woman says it will be difficult to find common ground. when asked what a solution could look like. he tells us the 1st step for him is to stop the test was expansion. and then maybe some day to end the production of eaves and instead build trims, buses, and trains in what was once the test was giga factory. but it's not realistic. the must be the investigator search power

behind it. and one of the richest people in the world has decided this thing should go here and people eat out of his hand, the wife and i can, i just don't have globally connected and the richest people in the world generally have much more leeway. many more context and we may be having our treehouse of youngs. i'm almost questions help and so he's back in his world. that's so different from the joint giga factory, the, the forest seems to be peaceful right now. a while the fight against the tesla continuous of the truly ride the guides know the way around

is strictly scientific trip to some pretty cheap places. curiosity is we tried the tomorrow today. next, on d w. you're not kind of always in signatures. the knox is over sized run, see with always where it's 09 in 30 minutes on the w. conflict crises, every single connection mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. the on the board

is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the whole life on earth is based on a versatile chemical element, carbon, depending on how it's adams bond to each other, it can be as hard as diamonds or soft is graphite. when carbon bonds with oxygen 50 comes gaseous world wide, it's these carbon dioxide emissions that we need to reduce. that's because the colors and photo lift gas is considered the main cause of global warming. and that is the 2nd weather patterns everywhere from the polar forest in the north to the amazon in the south.
