to do musicians who lives beneath the panel, i saw a film about the sounds of power and inspiring story about savant music under the swastika stuffs may 25th on dw nuts and bolts kitchen, utensils houses and cars. do you know where the natural resources for these come from? they have to be withdrawn and refined into steel, for example, more and for modern extraction methods. and technologies are being used to streamline the processes and make them cheaper and to protect the environment even if there's sometimes comes at a cost such as in sweden. also coming up on this edition of made a i is cutting energy use and

a cement mill of spanish farmers are coping with continuing droughts and how portugal is leading the way with electron mobility. the key to now a mining town located 1200 kilometers from sweden's capital, stock. com. it's march and the city has yet to emerge from the long winter. what is brought most people here for the past 100 years is working. europe's largest iron or mine. a mine tor you can drive several 100 meters deep into its interior by car. we after the mind added to a 130 meters. we are 230 meters under the top of the mountain. that's the 0 point.

we arrived at a depth of more than 1300 meters in the world's biggest iron or mine, a new experience for me. no dusty, dirty working environment that probably still exists somewhere. but state owned company, l. k, a, b is proud of its modern or mining alexander, folk head controls in excavate, or remotely everything is computer operated. it looks like a hotel lounge here, the terminal workers, new office. the iron or minerals are delivered to the excavator by remote control, jack hammers. it does depend, if it is the sold driven or a electrical and driven machine, and it also depends on the rock quality and, but this one, for example,

generally this machine will get 18 tons per round. so to say, so on a normal shift that is allowed to continuously run, it could easily produce say, 2000 tons. this mind makes we didn't the 12 largest iron or producer in the world and a reliable supplier for e u. steel producers the the iron oars cartridge away in automated electric trains like this the or contains about 50 percent iron it is find the ground and then melted in rotary kilns. the operators say that 100 percent renewable electricity is used they want to replace all combustion and jones with electric drives,

they aimed to create an end product of 100 percent green sponge on. like 2045. yes, we have the discussions already. of the customers, all of our customers are willing to buy this whole 7 face the from cuter not a change of scene to the east coast of lou d. o. l k. a b already runs the who but it smelting furnace with other industrial partners. here. it uses hydrogen to create a precursor to steal from the wrought iron pallets. and in 2028. the iron ore producer wants to get into the business of making climate neutral sponge iron itself. this would further add to its value. last year, l k, a b made a profit of 1400000000 euros. significant deposits of river herbs had been found nearby. now the old mining challenge is to make way as they were,

rich deposits of iron or beneath it. and right next door 4 kilometers away, the new town of cuter, now it cost over a 1000000000 euros paid for by the mining company. so how are the residents coping? told me myself, haven't actually moved my household, but i think it's a new start. you know, it's a new beginning for a lot of things. and of course there's a lot of motions, lot of confusion and in the and things, but it's a new beginning that we could all be of the part of this modern day. so that's pretty, pretty exciting. but i do like the details that it's put into it. if you look at like the facades and a little design detail, you can tell that to the architects house kind of done the research on, on the town around 6000 residents must relocate. construction would only take 10 years. but the town curator makes plans well in advance and ask the residents what

they wanted. we also have that. what do you lack in a new and in the old city? and what do you want in a new city or? so one thing was like a, a more to find shopping area because we didn't have any like shopping, state and so on. so here, i'm sorry, on the new shopping stories and a lot of stores here. and they also wanted to have more nature because nature is very important. as for kids and city representatives have already been given in new city hall paid for by the mining company, sweden is becoming more important as a supplier of iron or to the you. and in the future of rare earth as russia and china are unreliable supply partners, that's why the mayor finds it important that new workers move here to the north. already are attractive safety because of this new state defense, the and the close the our close position to the night tour. you can reach

everywhere in, in, in short, a time. then from 5 to 10 minutes from the new assistant. if you want to go with the ski console or dozens of historic wooden houses from the old town are being brought over to the new kid or not towed in by truck. the old identity is to live on and the new town, the old town is already starting to sink as the valuable iron ore is being dug out from underneath that artificial intelligence has become imperative in many areas. a i controlled robots and increasing automation. writing text. reading arch or making music and heavy industry here to a i is gaining traction. among other things, it's helping to combat the skilled worker shortage and high energy consumption and

international organizations say it has even greater economic potential heavy equipment is being deployed in southern germany's how requiring the stone is ground up and used, for example, as additives for the cement industry, the mineral materials company was almost on the verge of bankruptcy with its outdated plant. the reason high electricity costs the company was under pressure and costs had to come down to solution artificial intelligence. i'm was just cuz i know we have relatively small plants there, so i have to be more efficient than everyone else. so then i have a chance on, if i just use the oldest systems and controls, i can get there for weeks. huge amounts of data from the system were collected in storage using motion sensors. hey, i software use this data full to develop a new electronic control system. the result,

energy savings of around 20 percent management is satisfied, the system is now centrally controlled. the a i software calculates exactly how the system should be run in order to work effectively and with the least amount of energy. the a i control system replaces several highly paid skilled workers and one fell swoop . but no one has been laid off yet. how do i because the system runs much more smoothly and better and tracks all the process parameters i can for people to do other tasks that are much harder to automate or can be automated at all. so you can just really go to money. do that also makes a worthwhile that includes the son of the call you next to hand over. the process is called retrofit tier. a completely outdated press from 1989 as being technically refurbished development engineer, news due to knows his way around previously only well trained skilled workers were

able to run the process. a control system that today looks like something from the stone age of automation bus, which is about what was important. the fact that it was that people were at the center. and if they contributed their experience, for example, you can set the energy and it's set according to the workers experience the middle by top and things to the i software, he developed this expertise and running the press is no longer needed. the engineer spend weeks collecting all kinds of data from the process with the help of the sensors. the a i software sorts this knowledge and has been able to control the process independently is a bite distances team. once the system is working properly and has been trained, you can assign workers to the system who are not experts in this area. this lets you reduce the number of those who are specifically trained for this type. and in so doing cut costs, it's almost completed. and you can see until that all costs little to you. this

a software will soon be ready to market. it's feared that many skilled workers in the middle industry will then lose their jobs. next to berlin, tier software program, or nina kafka is working on an a i solution for laboratories to use this are intelligent software and robots to transfer toxic substances into different containers. in labs, this is time consuming and expensive routine work. large pharma firms want to use this a i soon to deploy expensive labs staff more effective way the outcome gets there were monotonous tasks, were the same processes are constantly carried out. then this is a very good aid. i don't believe the jobs will be lost as a result. i believe that on the whole it can be a support artificial intelligence,

a threat or an opportunity. the german economic institute in cologne is calculated in a study that, hey, i has the potential to boost the german economy by 330000000000 euros over the next few years. yeah, i'm in the i'd shop to like we have only had minimal productivity growth in germany and recent years said, hey, i can help to reverse this trend and ensure additional productivity that that's why i see this is a great opportunity. especially with the skilled worker shortage that we're already seeing, which will get worse in the coming years old off the ai is one way to counteract this. and this is kind of getting to file as a useful tool, german companies are finding more and more applications for a i. but the big innovations are coming from global tech giants. google, apple, intel and, and video german companies simply can keep up with that. finding

quinn cleveland's this was the basic system, say that the competition is very, very difficult to when the tech he was a big tech guy and some of us who invest unimaginable amounts of money every year. and developing basic software. my personal assessment is that there will probably continue to be a dependency white on off each type of steam program or as well soon have much faster computer chips at their disposal, which will give even more impetus to the use of artificial intelligence to stay competitive on the global market, german industry has to seize this opportunity. some drink tea, for others, their coffee or mineral water, alcoholic, or non alcoholic drinks. there are many ways to quench your thirst, but one thing is clear. we all need to drink. and the foundation of all drinks is

of course water, but it's not just humans and animals who need clean water to suffice. plants also depend on it. this reservoir used to be full to the brim. now it's almost empty. it will say 80 percent of the trees here don't bear fruit to put that dried up rivers. nice time drinking water shut off and the all important tourism, the search for solutions has begun. all the condos were behind the cost of those souls, general prosperity, the region developed well to well, farmers covered the place with the cato plants. now they've begun to trump them down. there is no longer enough water for everyone, especially not on the hills. because the front on your there's been less and less for a few years now. no, no. we don't recover from the summers in winter because the winter comes and i'm all but it doesn't rain antonio here as a of a condo trees since the 1980. so he's are in the valley,

but they don't get enough water and they're separate. and these because we have to little harvest, we take them to. and normal times they'd be left hanging down for and tony of you and many other farmers, it could be much worse. the minimum, i get that fortunately we have treated water, but it's not enough to meet the demand. the law at the end of the name treated water around to build a smaller guy in the hard key area. people have known for use that the water was running out. millions of bureaus have been invested in new reservoirs and pipes so that the water from sewage treatment plants does not flow into the sea. but on the fields. now they are tapping into more treatment plans. every drop counts, but treated water is not as clean as water from reservoirs or wells. so scientists are looking at the best way to use treated water. now what are headed out the in a recycled water, has many advantages of going to the, as it has

a high nutrient contents in the and if it has nitrous potassium and phosphate, special, beautiful and in the form of the plants directly absorb. i mean, it doesn't mean that there was no need for any treatment that means apart from removing the pollutants. i mean, i'm thinking this how the experts are now also looking at how other plans cope with treated water, such as papaya, as of a condos here, have a problem with it. a look, see them. ok. so what we find that of a condos in particular are especially sensitive to salinity. hey, i wonder how what that some of the condos have dry leaves is the result that they suffer from negative side effects because the treated water we work with is salty, comfortable. how much? well treated water doesn't necessarily have to have these high levels. but in the case of the hockey, a municipality of y'all got, although it does not hold on. while i said, well i see they 7 30 am the water supply his team and be like, smart guy receives its tasks for the day. there was plenty to do and a few pipes of burst again. but 1st,

thomas road to be guess mixed the lines of many residents easier again, on the web. okay. good. so mean, if we notice that we're using more than we are allocated by the original supplier, you know, we have to shut off the water in the some areas. and part of the more people we prefer to do this at night level of you as, as it has less of an effect on the population, will not pick a network. but also because we can stop water from disappearing through leaks, leaving the leaks account for 20 percent of water consumption. one reason why the pipes are put under more strain when the water is shut off. so level cut off the other number. we have 3 or 4 burst water pipes each day. it happens regularly. the pipes are made of polyethylene and are already several years old, which makes them more vulnerable over time example. the municipality has its own well as for the drinking water supply to him, a sort of the guys shows us one, but the pumps have been at a standstill here for more than a year or as new. i forgot the color safeway above the ground water level kept

falling at all at the moment. okay. we could only pump less and less water. you can run them up with one of them. at some point it was so beautiful that we couldn't do anything with the big pump, and some i knew there was still some water and of them but. but the pumps here would quickly break down because they kept switching on and off. that's why the $85000.00 residents are now rely on water from neighboring areas. in the bally smaller got town hall. the deputy in charge is trying his best to conserve what water exists and get new water. he also is he goes to email a. we have to celebrate the water, which we have plenty of here. but even if it's a bit more expensive, but it would be a shame to lose our economy, the existing structure and the number of businesses. and above all, what is made are a hockey region famous. i'm going to send you to the model, the average region around ameria desalination enables farming there. and on the

cost of del sol, there was just wanting to save a nation plant. more are planned, but that does not solve short term problems. last year, i know if water was needed for 14000000 tourists here. the hotel association refuses to give interviews on this issue for fear of spoiling the atmosphere initiative on a hotel manager. who did the whole big still seems pretty relaxed about his new hotel. you always find his annoys hotels? yes. i mean, this is a new hotel and of course we plan to hand them about that. so we have the water cisterns on the building where the rain water is collected and we have 3 water wells. and we have 200 facilities, for example, that we can feed to use treating water back into the system. you go to fuel and couldn't indeed and detect non dogma. but he also strongly feels that dissemination plants must be built quickly. submitted me a set goals of the mediterranean, is big enough that we can take water from it and it would just need to be

disseminated to return to our water supply. what is the water simply flowed at the touch of a button, since it hardly ever rings the focus is now shifting to a machine that's being built in under lose. yeah. but it's actually only used far away, based on the principle of an air conditioner. it draws water from the air technology like this uses a lot of electricity. there's a number of those either we have cut consumption by a quarter to look into this. now let's us produce a leader of drinking water for $3.00 to $0.05. a lot of it today is, i think us into monday to and these are the soon that will be a plan for domestic use. more interesting still is a project that will be even bigger than this shipping container as well, getting a little but, and also to the what's new for us now is meeting the needs of agriculture in nature . they didn't have a good enough efficiency and compatibility with renewable energy use the especially foldable tags and create needs and opportunities and the cultural sector such as an

economist, hydroponic greenhouses, konita bonia, a. i was doing the irrigation with water from the surrounding air. this won't be a solution for the condos in billings, monica antonio here and many others are no trying. men goes as they need less water and are more resilient. but the cato still dominate in the our heart. yeah. for now, it just needs to rain, and i'm tonio here is waiting driving an electric car or even like is environmentally friendly. but only if the electricity comes from renewable energy sources, such as wind or sunshine. portugal has a lot of both. that's one of the small countries of europe to southern most tip couldn't become a role model when it comes to electro mobility. but how does it look in reality, we put the mobility to the test. driving an electric car through portugal. how well

does it work? the country sees itself as an electron mobility by any or i'd like to know what works differently or better here. then for example, in germany, the rental car in opal, mocha has a roughly 330 kilometer range. pretty average. the 1st charging station in the evening doesn't work great. the 2nd 1 in the morning is far from the city center. that is pretty slow. the 3rd one is faster. okay, it's now the fast charge it, but at least this charging process works very smoothly. and we will gain some more kilometers until we get a real fast charger. after a bumpy start, it turns out that fast chargers are widespread. and often at supermarkets, one thing i really like, i can pay it all charging stations with a card or an app spontaneously driving long distance is, is no problem. arriving in lisbon. they were

already lots of ease on the roads here. people ability seems to be on the right track in portugal. portuguese electric street began in 2009. the government set up an agency to ensure a good start. the goal back then sounds straightforward. the lessons blue level means probably the 1st country in the world to set up a legal framework for email ability because it started with a pilot project, a charging network and the national level, with one simple goal making things as easy as possible for a the drivers by letting them use every charging point in portugal in sport spots because you, me and this s bulloch is to install and portugal insured competition right from the start operating the charging stations and supplying the electricity are kept separate. this means that electrical power suppliers can also compete finding a parking space on the street in lisbon, almost impossible,

but not for easy drivers. they get discounted parking cards. this is also meant to promote e mobility at a local level. using new sylvia and i have a special sticker for which i made 12 euros a year that lets me park in less than most expensive zone for this is there's a parking card machine. at the back. you can see the red zone, the most expensive of the money. that's one of the advantages of an easy savings and thousands of go here. we have to import, you go. the number of the registrations doubled in 2023. the users association gives a simple explanation. for the exponential growth for not stomach chemical, with our system, which is based on the standardized bank card, like in charge of any charging station, not a single card. ease of use and competition, not a given, and germany has some catching up to do in this area. victor gomez visited the country in 2023. the going use,

the local charging station. this is on low. i had to download 2 different apps for 2 different stations, and the price was much higher than a portugal. that would be part of the forgotten. it was all a bit complicated for you all, all complete thousands, despite more subsidies, portugal in general, and lisbon input secular are not perfect. the navy driver notices this when looking for a free charging station. she couldn't find one in this city center. you go into a sampling kitting always have to have a plan b, cuz with the charging station that was freed earlier may now be occupied even because the best are the parking spaces. with simple chargers, of course, some for school bodies values. there are some here for normal charging you man for fast charging. okay, of course. and we know that people will leave again quickly means this guy will be happy that most documents in portugal is paving the way and what began throughout the you. in mid april, the drivers can now pay at new charging stations with

a credit card and likely more expensive leave than in portugal. the where the raw materials for steal our mind. hey, i can cut energy use what spanish farmers will soon be growing until e mobility can be driven forward. we've shown you all this in today's edition of made. see you next time the

of the do big ocean, the beauty companies play a role in the destruction of the rain forest, the the, the full actually cause awesome comes from illegal capital funds in the m as in yes, the automobile industry doesn't care about the supply chains, profit, all that much to illegal leather. in 15 minutes on the w. mushrooms play of the world.

kendra, one to many people are convinced they kind of the country has a thriving mushroom industry conditions there are ideal for cultivating the 2 choices. unhealthy alternative to me, you could have a visit there in georgia with the, with the most minute shows here for you and the shelter for the co advocate. in 90 minutes on d w, the, she's got issues with a lot say, well crazy. the

amount was fine. oh hi. i might just do it and i'm hosting dw new pod cast. thanks. trace amount sizes he'll actually of, i'll know join us as we travel around your a pricing. this is a history of every day also. and then bumping right around the wells kind of close to taking the juicy of stories with a little mistrial drama along the way. but no need to talk about i just took subscriber id, listen to process and will take you along to the right side. the

you're watching due to the news going to live from berlin. more signs of us concern over a potential full scale is really assaults on rasa as israel bombards. but the southern city reports emerge that divide and administration paused a shipment of bombs to as round last week. meanwhile, more palestinians flee rough as israel's military moves in. the un warns against a full scale offensive on the city where the un says 1400000 people are sheltering . and also in our show today the

.
