The Island President: Movie Trailer
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 14:38:38 02/08/12
Jon Shenk's The Island President tells the story of President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives, a man confronting a problem greater than any other world leader has ever faced--the literal survival of his country and everyone in it. After bringing democracy to the Maldives after thirty years of despotic rule, Nasheed is now faced with an even greater challenge: as one of the most low-lying countries in the world, a rise of three feet in sea level would submerge the 1200 islands of the Maldives enough to make them uninhabitable. The Island President captures Nasheed's first year of office, culminating in his trip to the Copenhagen Climate Summit in 2009, where the film provides a rare glimpse of the political horse-trading that goes on at such a top-level global assembly. Nasheed is unusually candid about revealing his strategies--leveraging the Maldives' underdog position as a tiny country, harnessing the power of media, and overcoming deadlocks through an appeal to unity with other developing nations. When hope fades for a written accord to be signed, Nasheed makes a stirring speech which salvages an agreement. Despite the modest size of his country, Mohamed Nasheed has become one of the leading international voices for urgent action on climate change.

Funding Afghan security on NATO agenda
www.euronews.net NATO defence ministers have been discussing how to pay for Afghanistan's security forces once they take over from the alliance in 2014. The estimated cost will top 4.5 billion euros a year, a sum beyond the means of one of the world's poorest nations. It is unlikely a final decision will emerge before NATO's summit in Chicago in May.

Although it's already in its third year, the debt crisis in Greece has yet to be resolved. Greeks are having to bear the burden of increasingly painful cuts - but those austerity measures have failed to improve the situation so far. How do workers feel about their future job prospects? Employees of a Greek steel factory have been on strike for more than two months.Made in Germany reporter Miltiades Arsenopolous paid workers a visit outside the Aspropyrgos Plant near Athens. What does their situation look like, and do they think that politicians' scheduling of one crisis summit after the next is helping?

Chinese Premier Pushes for Nuclear Development
For more news and videos visit ☛ english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ☛ http Add us on Facebook ☛ on.fb.me As part of his tour of the Persian Gulf, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is seeking out new sources power for China's growing energy appetite. But the Premier turned some heads when he suggested further development of nuclear energy. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao spoke at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi as part of his weeklong tour of some of the Arab world's largest oil suppliers. In his keynote speech, Wen pushed for further development of nuclear power. [Wen Jiabao, Chinese Premier]: "Nuclear power is a safe, reliable and technologically mature source of clean energy. To develop nuclear power in a safe and efficient manner is important for ensuring future energy supplies." Underscoring Wen's speech is mounting tension over Iran and its nuclear development. The US has imposed economic sanctions on Iran to curtail its nuclear program, which the Chinese regime has opposed. China is one of the world's biggest energy consumers and imported over a tenth of its oil from Iran. From: NTDTV Views: 73 2 ratings Time: 01:09 More in News & Politics

Episode 134: Shhh?It Happens At Base Camp
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 11:55:11 01/15/12
Can Anyone Say ?Sherpa Shortcut?? This fine morning at BC just keeps getting better. We?ve been able to see climbers going up the Icefall for hours. It really puts the landscape in perspective when you see a climber or group of climbers navigating the obviously dangerous puzzle that is the Khumbu Icefall. You can look at it and tell the Icefall is big. Snag a view of some climbers who appear as miniscule black specs amid the jumble of ice slabs and you get hit with it?s true immensity. It goes from looking big to looking BIG. Really, really BIG. Hugely BIG. Truly BIG. Did I mention it looks big? I also spent some time today filming something that is a big deal around here-where to go when nature calls. Yesterday (wow, was that really only yesterday?) I spoke with Apa Sherpa about the human waste situation and regulations at BC. I know from personal experience that the poop situation on the North Side is becoming a real issue. Of course, over in Tibet BC covers several square miles. Here in Nepal, BC is only a tiny, tiny fraction of that much space. It resembles the North Side?s ABC with tents stacked nearly on top of another. Ben Clark referred to ABC on the other side of the mountain as ?a miniature San Francisco.? Ditto for the BC on this side of the mountain. These days, here on the Nepal side, all human waste is collected in large plastic bags and taken out of BC at least at the end of the climbing season if not several times throughout the climbing season. That is a very big deal, isn?t it? After I finished my business filming everyone else?s ?business? I heard some talking down by the dome tent. Jeff was going to try and make it to the top of Kala Patthar today! He was leaving BC before the rest of us to try and make that goal a reality. Amazing. Now, we are much higher in altitude than Gorak Shep, the traditional starting point when climbing Kala Patthar. I do distinctly remember Jeff wondering aloud at breakfast if there was a way to go directly to the summit of Kala Patthar from BC instead of heading all of the way back down to Gorak Shep first. Surely there must be a way to do that. People have climbed every square inch of this valley over more than the past half century. Apparently there is a way to do it. A so-called ?short cut?. Of course out here everything is relative. Our group joke is that the Sherpa staff has a very different feel for time and distance. Ask any of these amazing guys how much farther will we be hiking to X destination and you?ll invariably be told, ?Just 10 minutes. RIght around the corner.? Translated, that means, ?Pal, you?ve got a ways to go. Probably about 3 hours.? The Sherpa people are feats of human engineering and stamina and positive attitude with an almost nonexistent complaint factor. Every one of them. I will always be in utter awe of what they can?happily?accomplish. If Jeff asks The Staff about a shortcut, he better be careful. He might just get what he asks for. A ?Sherpa shortcut?.

This Is The Turning Point. It?s become obvious that Everest is trying to separate the wheat from the chaff up here. The wind is non-stop and it?s starting to affect more than our morale. Not long ago, Lhawang spoke to Lhakpa who is still up at ABC. There are only a few climbers up there right now as almost every team is taking ?shelter? here at base camp. The report from Lhakpa indicated that many tents up on the North Col have blown away. They are literally GONE from the mountain. Now, there are always going to be the spare tent that can be carried up to replace the missing ones, but it?s the contents of those tents that is the heartbreaking part. Those shelters were also high-altitude storage lockers. Inside was everything that some climbers were going to need to summit this peak. For some teams, the climb is over and they don?t even know it yet. Are we on that list? We?ll only know once this windstorm is over?and there?s no sign of that happening in the next couple of days.

Seeing Spots. I might not be a mountaineer, but it?s time for me to climb Everest. Well, up to ABC anyway. The altitude up high is making my vision and balance a little funny. We left BC a couple of days ago and headed up the well worn path leading up to Interim Camp. Man, not my favorite place in the world but only had to spend a few hours of sleep there. Today, Andre (the 68-year-old Belgian climber sharing our camp) and I trudged up to ABC. This was one of the most difficult days I?ve ever had. I found the altitude very difficult to hike through. It wasn?t so much that I was tired, I JUST COULD NOT MOVE MY LEGS WELL. It?s bizarre and I felt like I was walking through quicksand. Every step made it more difficult to move forward. Andre was doing very well and was gracious to stay by my side the entire couple of days we?ve spent walking. Our mantra was, ?Slowly, slowly?? and it worked. I?m here. For the last few kilometers I don?t think I was able to take more than a step every 3 or 4 seconds. I could see ABC, but I just couldn?t get there! Boca Lama cruised down once Dawa arrived ahead of me at camp and found me sitting on a boulder a km or so away from camp. He brought tea and cookies with him. These guys are amazing, and I love them dearly. He grabbed by pack and allowed me to walk unburdened for the final stretch. So generous. When I finally stumbled into the mess tent, I sat down at the table and felt this great rush of awareness that I did not have to walk any further. I began to sob. I had made it to 21,000? on my own two feet. Standing outside my tent you can see the summit which looks amazingly close. You also get an amazing view of the North Col?where Ben is right now. He and Lhawang and Lhakpa set out to climb up there yesterday. I can?t imagine what it must be like. I look forward to seeing my friends when they return to ABC in a few days.
