  Global 3000 [#425] Brazil's Controversial Move to Hydroelectric Power GREENWASHING - HOW GREEN IS BRAZIL'S HYDROELECTRIC POWER? The Brazilian government says huge hydroelectric projects underway in Amazonia will provide environmentally friendly electricity across the country. The operators say the projects will boost development in the areas where the power is to be generated. But how clean will this energy really be? What are the costs? Critics say huge amounts of methane are released by rotting vegetation submerged in lakes behind dams, especially in tropical areas. We go to Porto Velho to investigate.
  CO2 CERTIFICATES - CLIMATE PROTECTION THROUGH EMISSIONS TRADING: Emissions trading or trading with emissions certificates is an instrument of environmental policy that aims to reduce environmentally damaging emissions at the lowest cost to the economy. In 2005, the European Union Emissions Trading System was put into law. Ever since the economic crisis hit the pace at which German implements its climate protection aims has slowed dramatically. The inducements offered by CO2 certificates are no longer high enough for industry. And that's despite the existance of ideas which can drive climate protection on sustainably. Modern gas fired power stations are needed to provide a bridging technology as German aims to alter energy policy. But will investments provide the returns?
  GREEN ECONOMY - AIR CONDITIONING IN INDIA: They keep rooms cool but heat up the atmosphere: Most of air conditioning units around the world use coolants with a high green house potential. Now an Indian manufacturer is trying to introduce climate friendly units onto the competitive Indian market and in doing so setting an example for other countries. Since March 2012 the Indian firm Godrei has been using propane gas instead of hydrofluorocarbons. Propane does not damage the ozone layer. And in a market where 4 million air conditioning units are sold every year that could be important. The international climate protection initiative supports the project to the tune of 2 million euros. Germany's GIZ agency is also involved. duration 26:10   STEREO

  European Journal [#3025] Ireland's Wwii "Deserters" Who Fought The Nazis IRELAND: THE DESERTERS - Thousands of Irish troops joined British forces during World War II to fight Nazi-Germany. In their own country, they were punished and scorned as deserters. Ireland was officially neutral in the war. But nearly 5000 Irishmen deserted to join the struggle against the forces of fascism. There were no honors awaiting them upon their return to their own country - only dishonorable discharges from the Irish armed forces. They were stripped of their pensions and some even court-martialed for desertion. A new initiative has been launched to restore the honor of these heroic deserters.
  CZECH REPUBLIC: HEAR NO EVIL - For many children in the Czech Republic, boxed ears and canings are an everyday occurrence. Attempts to prohibit corporal punishment are largely ignored. Seventy-five percent of all Czech parents favor corporal punishment. When the government's human rights commissioner said that at least children under the age of four should have legal protection from beating, there was an outcry of indignation. She quickly backtracked, saying she had only been expressing her personal opinion, not proposing legislation. No party in the Czech Republic is willing to take on the hot-button issue. And media reporting isn't exactly child-friendly either. Lately, a tabloid newspaper published tips on how best to beat children.
  SWEDEN: A BREATHALYZER IS STANDARD - Starting this year, Swedish driving schools are fitting all their vehicles with a breathalyzer lock. Would-be drivers have to blow into a tube before they can start the car. The idea is to get student drivers accustomed to alcohol testing as an integral part of starting the car. The built-in breathalyzer has encountered little resistance so far - drunk driving is thoroughly frowned on in Sweden. But the device's hefty price tag of around 1300 euros has so far tended to limit its appeal to government agencies, hospitals and bus and taxi companies.
  TURKEY: THE PIGEON BREEDERS - With names like Kelebec and Bursa Roller, Turkey's roller pigeons are renowned as acrobats of the air. Breeding them is a national pastime, and its enthusiasts often invest small fortunes. The rollers turn somersaults, perform breathtaking nosedives and clap with their wings. Their keepers have perfected the technique of training them for such aerial acrobatics. It takes patience and persistence. The Turkish pigeon breeders coddle and care for their 'little doves' - and command steep prices for them at auction. Unusually flamboyant specimens can fetch several thousand euros. duration 26:10   STEREO TVRE

  Moyers & Company [#125H] Confronting The Contradictions of America's Past * Bill opens this weekend's episode with thoughts about the origins and lessons of Independence Day. We should remember, he says, that behind this Fourth of July holiday are human beings, like Thomas Jefferson, who were as flawed and conflicted as they were inspired, who espoused great humanistic ideals while behaving with reprehensible racial discrimination. That conflict - between what we know and how we live - is still a struggle in contemporary politics and society.
  * No stranger to the contradictions of history and their racial touchpoints is Bill's studio guest Khalil Muhammad. Head of the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Muhammad is the author of The Condemnation of Blackness, which connects American histories of race, crime and the making of urban America to modern headlines. Muhammad and Moyers discuss the importance of confronting the contradictions of America's past. duration 56:46   STEREO TVG

  Washington Week [#5153H] In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court has upheld President Barack Obama's signature healthcare reform law. Chief Justice John Roberts, who was nominated by President George W. Bush, joined the liberal wing of the court in rejecting the legal challenges by 26 states who claimed the "individual mandate" that requires Americans to buy health insurance or pay a penalty was unconstitutional. The high court's decision also put limits on the proposed expansion of Medicaid but did not strike down that portion of the government's Affordable Care Act.
  President Obama called today's ruling a "victory for people all over the country." But healthcare remains a polarizing issue and GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney and Republican lawmakers are vowing to push for repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
  Earlier in the week the Supreme Court handed down another landmark decision striking down most of Arizona's tough immigration enforcement law saying it interfered with federal immigration law. But in a 5-3 decision the justices upheld the most controversial part of the Arizona law that requires police to check the immigration status of people they have reason to suspect are illegal immigrants.
  What happens next and what are the legal, political and policy ramifications of this week's Supreme Court decisions? Gwen Ifill will get answers and analysis from: Pete Williams of NBC News, Joan Biskupic of Reuters, John Dickerson of Slate and CBS News, and Naftali Bendavid of The Wall Street Journal. duration 26:46   STEREO TVRE

  CALIFORNIA BUDGET PASSED - Governor Brown signed California's new $ 142.6 billion budget into law just hours before Wednesday's midnight deadline. Some of the most significant changes include the elimination of the Healthy Families program for poor children, a reduction in state welfare benefits and a 5% pay cut for state workers. Education funding for K-12 will remain intact unless the November tax initiative fails to pass, triggering automatic cuts of up to $5.6 billion.
  STATE PARKS SAVED - With the July 1 closure deadline looming, California parks officials saved 65 of the 70 parks slated for closure, at least through the next fiscal year. In recent weeks officials scrambled to prevent the state parks from closing for the first time in their 110 year history, by forging partnerships with both public and private donors. Governor Brown partially vetoed a state parks bill on Thursday, reducing the amount approved by lawmakers from $41 million to $10 million. duration 26:46   STEREO TVRE

  Nature [#2802H] A Murder of Crows Crows do not have the best of reputations. They are generally dismissed as spooky - Hitchcock used them quite successfully to frighten moviegoers, or as a general nuisance - scarecrows were, after all, invented to scare crows away from crops. But their image is about to take a real turn. New research has shown they are among the most intelligent animals in the world, able to use tools as only elephants and chimpanzees do, able to recognize each other's voices and 250 distinct calls. They are very social, mate for life and raise their young for up to five years. And they are able to recognize individual humans and pick them out of a crowd up to two years later. Crow experts from around the world sing their praises and present us with captivating new footage of crows as we have never seen them before. duration 55:46   SRND51 TVPG (Secondary audio: DVI)

  Nova [#3708H] Hunting The Edge of Space - The Mystery of the Milky Way In this 2-part miniseries, Nova examines how a simple instrument, the telescope, has fundamentally changed our understanding of our place in the universe. What began as a curiosity - two spectacle lenses held a foot apart - ultimately revolutionized human thought across science, philosophy and religion. The series takes viewers on a global adventure of discovery, dramatizing the innovations in technology and the achievements in science that have marked the history of the telescope. This tale of human ingenuity involves some of the most colorful figures of the scientific world - Galileo, Kepler, Newton, William Herschel, George Hale and Edwin Hubble - leading up to today's colossal telescopes, housed in space-age cathedrals or orbiting high above the Earth. Now at the center of an international space race, a new generation of ever-larger telescopes is poised to reveal answers to longstanding questions about our universe and, in turn, to raise new questions.
  
  Part 1: Three centuries of engineering have produced telescopes far beyond Galileo's simple spyglass. Perched on mountaintops, orbiting the Earth and even circling other planets, these telescopes are revealing the solar system in detail Galileo could only dream of. This episode brings viewers up close with today's most powerful telescopes and embarks on a stunning journey to the planets and moons now being imaged as never before. duration 55:40   STEREO TVG

Now, modern telescopes have added a mysterious new twist to the plot: The vast majority of the stuff of the universe is invisible, tied up in dark matter and dark energy. But what are these mysterious dark forces? A new generation of telescopes is embarking on a mission impossible to see the unseeable and answer one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the cosmos. duration 55:32   STEREO TVG
