The first thing is that greenery is severely lacking.

Oxygen is too, as a result.

I finished school and then studied to be a crane operator.

Now I am at the factory, my dad works here, and so does my husband.

It's not an ordinary city.

At the beginning, it takes some getting used to.

But when you adjust, it pulls you in, and becomes your own.

You become a romantic.

You see beauty in a flower... a flower that's bursting through the stone.

Everybody walks their own path.

Each of us has our personal star.

There are no barriers when we are together,

as friends solve all hardships.

It's always easier when you are one team.

Believe in victory. Run, don't walk.

You are already rich in friends.

As a team, we are a step ahead.

We are responsible for the outcome.

Hello, friends! Hi, Norilsk!

Today, we are celebrating the wonderful day uniting

the main holidays of the summer.

From the bottom of our hearts:

Happy Company Day! Happy Metallurgy Day! Happy Norilsk Day!

The history of Carrara began with the arrival of the Romans,

then came Michelangelo, but the quarries were already here when Michelangelo came.

They wanted to take him to Pietrasanta, to the Altissimo,

and he told them to go fuck themselves and came back to Carrara,

because he already knew that the right material was here, in this area.

Carrara marble is always Carrara marble.

Nothing like it in the world.

Yesterday, when I was a young boy myself,

it was all done by hand.

For an incision that now - you would make in a day,

then - it would take you 15 or 20 days.

Because at the time it was up to the workman,

not the excavators like today.

Expulsion, Destruction, Forgotten!

That's the last on that side, that they're tearing down now.

We have here in this mine...

eight large machines.

They're the biggest excavators in the world.

There are no bigger ones.

The excavator weighs roughly, over 12 thousand tons,

we have 12 chassis on the main machine,

with about 160 kilowatts propulsion per chain.

People actually got together to form a human chain

but none of that changed anything.

Three farming families and three other families are still here.

The problem for the farmers is the land, of course.

This soil here has evolved over millions of years.

You can never get that back.

RWE is digging up the land,

and they're not filling it in because this is supposed to be a big lake one day.

There's no land left for the farmers.

They're going to shoot

and the commentary is gonna be like,

"Instead of working, the Russians drink tea."

They're recording sound.

So it's not just taking photos, it's recording, too.

Yeah, it's recording it all.

We love our job!

And we're happy!

I read in a report that the sea level can rise at 2 cm per year.

The Shengli Oil Field Seawall

was built to protect oil production.

The seawall is 120 km long

and encloses around 500 square kms of land.

I've been involved with the seawall project for close to 20 years.

After 20 years of continuous effort of maintenance and enhancement,

it's become what we see today.

We will continue to strengthen it and make it higher.

So I think that this wall should endure...

for 50 or 100 years, and even longer.

It's still showing this afternoon.

See, it's showing "warning."

In 2 minutes, this will become red and here it says "update."

Let's wait until 2pm, and then we'll see what happens.

Thank you, Stefano.

I'm going to get a sandwich, I'm hungry.

Can you see that they get more intense?

I don't know why, but there's an acceleration

in the wind from the Adriatic.

Our Cherished Time Together

A Thousand Honourable Monks Praise A Golden Age

I have pieces that can range

from a few hundred dollars to tens of millions.

Heaven has given me a bit more talent than others.

The value for each piece is not just the price.

It is also my youth and time.

Each piece can take up to 10 years.

Even with 10 people working on it, it takes 10 years.

So I don't really know how to define the value.

So we discovered mammoth tusk shortly after ivory was banned.

That was when I gave up on elephant ivory carving.

It turns out that in Siberia there are glaciers and permafrost

that stored Siberian mammoth tusks.

It kept the tusks in pristine condition.

In addition, it is a legally approved material.

And the material is better for carving than elephant ivory.
