a marginalized place there are drugs there is crime people here have been forgotten and it's a neighborhood such as this one here where people feel they have really been abandoned let down by governments over the years and while a new set of politicians is promising change there's very little say thing that will actually happened. without political support those living here have had to take it upon themselves to make it more habitable including creating spaces for children to play with and once was nothing the local councils responsibility assumed by those who were supposed to serve. can get. everything that's been done here has been done and it's not because we do not want to work but there's always been a wall between the citizens and the operatives. and the problems here have also been acknowledged by the head of the roman catholic church during

that the so-called n.g.o.s that are active and operating at the borders to both sides of the borders or if it's about migration are humanitarian organizations. are finding is that they are actively promoting migration at the borders of europe. but where are these mainly muslim illegal migrants that state run media relentlessly warned during the election campaign would flood hungary and undermine its christian values the advance of victor and his policies has proved unstoppable in three consecutive parliamentary elections meanwhile the advance of muslim migration on this society has been pretty comprehensively stopped at what is now hungary's heavily fortified southern border it is as if this new legislation is aimed less abt illegal migrants and more at civil society which brings us to the other great fear that stalks hungary's prime minister the billionaire financier george soros

and the network of liberal minded n.g.o.s he supports he made it. clear what kind of future he thinks of europe he's pro-democracy he's probably. right the kind of democracy in the form of democracy he promotes and his organizations are promoting are very far from real democracy because they rely or would like to relight so-called n.g.o.s that have been founded and financed by the shore and the like minded people the new measures being debated are collectively known as the stop soros bill in anticipation of difficult times the soros funded open society foundations announced last week it was pulling out of hungary that's a loss to free thinking society but a win for one of europe's most illiberal governments that now looks a must saleable joho al-jazeera budapest the wife of malaysia's former prime minister najib razak has been questioned as part of a corruption investigation. was interrogated at the anti corruption commission

million of them for every human they play a critical role pollinating crops decomposing waste and supporting food chains. but a german study from twenty seventeen has caused worldwide alarm showing that in some areas flying insect numbers of food and by over seventy five percent in the last twenty seven years and humans are to blame if development and pesticide use continue we could soon face what some experts are calling insect to get in the ecological collapse of the insect population whether to how can it would change life on earth as we know it. i mean our beloved home in new zealand where an enterprising group of scientists are bringing a dinosaur era insect back from the brink of extinction and i'm guillory to robbie in great britain to see how overlooked industrial wastelands by being turned into

bug reserves. new zealand is rich in wild lie. and because of its isolation there are hundreds of plants and animals that evolved here that are found nowhere else but human introduced pests have threatened and even wiped out many space it's one of those in the native where congo it's one of the world's heaviest insects and has been around for one hundred ninety million years even outliving the dinosaurs they used to be found although the new zealand but now big close to extinction. these amazing aging creatures play of financial role in the coast system and without them other native plants and wildlife could also disappear forever. the oakland zoo has launched a set of programs to say. starting with

a new interactive exhibition that aims to excite the next generation about in six. was like a box. featuring a giant trade in sex with educational games and puzzles shows just how fascinating each episode. so let's talk about. the t.v. series but these are really cool. these children have never seen a way yet had they did several generations ago they would have spotted them in the garden. reading center guide coast to explains why we should all kids born in six was so made up and people just dismissed them and i knew that they're really really important for the environment how everything works together like that and thinks we wouldn't be

here how important is it to take its young people about insects right for the ones we're going to have to be helping her to keep and fix and stop her coming back into like him when he can equip and fix up an item and get him for not work on my b.s. that's going to be bright graphics was. exhibitions can be great for raising awareness for causes but it's just on the other side of the zoo that some really significant work is being done to protect and row by the threatened what a pungo i'm meeting ben goodwin an entomologist at oakland's breeding program hey ben page hi you. this is where i want to. ask you. this is one of the world's only industrialized insect conservation programs providing the optimum light and temperature conditions which upon. so these are the ones that you read yeah so but some adult would appear in here it's incredible. to

they one of the heaviest and six in the world this is an adult so they don't get too much bigger than us which upon the can weigh up to seventy grams that's the equivalent of three small mice to think i can hold. the hopes are big shot. that's incredible do they do they fly not so they're totally flightless they're not really good kind of they're nocturnal so they're very very well adapted for. predators but mammals and just now in the mount says that when i started to die out they were considered really common and to the middle part of the eighteen hundreds and there humans extremely disturbed misreads new zealand and one to a century and i split start your site from one island. for the birds the factor being credible why would you say. they have all functions to play in the ecology sorry expo huge does massive players and i was the ground. for

a species which i read about in books as a kind of star i feel privileged to be where. the breeding program started in two thousand and twelve with only twelve since then over three and a half thousand in six have been released onto a few key islands which still provide the ideal conditions for them to flourish today bends readying a batch for transport. so they will be the easiest ones to there because it allows. so this whole thing comes out i like to harden these little choose to rule in the supplies that you want to be taking to the island yeah once they've got a bit of sauce on them they're a little bit more a boston but few inches to the side of the wall just pop you're not sure was yeah that's. right that's the first female so just to. really here. what's the success rate of writing programs to about ninety percent of all right which is

really really good. to see me upset everybody in the i'm sure. that's what it was going to counter my. sense everything that's going to really smart it's yet here. we found three hundred eighty five ways have packed and ready to move it's time to head to the docks. we're off to a private island in the how to gulf one of four still hospitable to west. it's a one hour boat journey from the mainland. right and sugo royd to the island's owners are avid conservationists who have given their land over to the protection of native species and. yeah yeah yeah right and i'm

sorry but have you always been involved in the releases as much as possible in two thousand and three rodents who finally breed the island of invasive mammals like rats stoats and feral cats making it a safe home full weight of hunger. we've never really looked at their cells as i don't know but more as guardians of the wonderful place that we privilege of growing up and how does releasing the one upon going to the island actually fit into all of your plans sorry they're critical to the health of the island nothing exists in our selection so when a punk or a bit of one of the missing links for them how many guises and as your part of the jigsaw. even though are a crucial piece of the landscape here the young in sixty will need to be handled carefully selecting the perfect spot for the new. hope. how do you choose the fight for you relates wes's yes so this is one of our early

starts here and so we want to look for a place that's got lots of audience votes and someone that's got lots and lots of good food plants as well. oh my goodness this is incredible hello how old is this tree just made to be about eight hundred years old . you can see the pellet from one of the whiplash that's not so good way to sometimes to take it presents if you can actually find them and that's all this is really important for the ecosystem and yes so that's one pixel in the tree and so it's recycling will be aging and that's good for the in the soil help finding these droppings is entirely a sign of a healthy environment but also evidence of an old ready thriving population that will surely will continue compass this is kind of the ideal spot for the best place in the wall and for them to be released into this is going to heaps and heaps and heaps of id holes for when opponent has one of their preferred food plants they can

go from this tree industry this ride across the whole forest here because of the huge crown on. the west who will be released at night when they are based active this peak tape will help us find this spot in the dark laid wrong. route. i can't believe they have trusted me with these what. are the start of the release like here yeah. you can see a much more active they're winning. this one i'm going to release more on this trial now with more.

so how important is it for you to reestablish what a pond a hero it's often because of just giving back something that probably would have been here years and years ago hopefully the droppings will into the forest. or words and live on. your skin in a real soft touch on the back. so how much longer do you think you're retiring they source of releases for all but a few more laces today and then after that it's mainly just monitoring the populations. which upon the now exist on four islands as invasive predators us to be removed from other locations that number is expected to rise the hope is that one day later punk could return to the mainland they want thrived. there is certainly the bill for change here in

new zealand while people and institutions are taking action in support of native species the government has even committed to rid the country of human introduced pests by twenty fifteen there is still a way to go but at least the future is now looking optimistic. plants reproductive cells are found and it's pollen. when an insect visits a flower to feed off its nectar pollen rubs off from the male stayman on to the insect and sticks to the hairs on its body. as the insect moves on to another flower grains of pollen are transferred to the female stigma that's when pollination happens so that seeds and fruit are produced. around seventy five percent of all crop species require pollination by an animal often insects

including bees but also other animals such as birds and bats but two out of five insect pollinators a disappearing and with them off food supply. in southwest china wild geese have been eradicated by intensive farming so people are doing the work the bees want stead's. every year in hundred one county thousands of villages painstakingly pollinate every single apple and pear blossom by hand using a long stick attached to brushes or chicken feathers. the method works with some high value approaching us but this simply aren't enough people to pollinate the world's crops much more effective would be to nurture pollinating insects populations in orchards by banning pesticides and planting natural habitats. bees and other insects have been safeguarding our food supply for millennia the least we can do in return is to provide them with what they need to survive.

with a long history of habitat loss and industrialize farming here has seen some of the worst cases of infected hind an extinction in the world i've come to the u.k. to see how all the industrial sites are being turned into bug reserve. in an attempt to reverse this worrying trend. professor dave goulston has been studying insects for over twenty years and understands just how damaging their rapid decline could be not to go so why are in facts disappearing that there's a whole host of challenges that they face to do with us modern farming methods become very reliant on using lots and lots of pesticides which mean the farmer can grow a perfect monoculture without an insect inside the entire baton it'll diversity surrounding

us is just the hunt for species instead of the hundreds of species that used to live here and a lot of people think this is war the british countryside should look like but it's only been like this for a few decades it's basically makes the landscape uninhabitable for most insects is there anything we can do to turn this around or have we sort of passed the tipping point for some species it's too late some of gone extinct but for the majority best still here and we need to make sure we look after we should be absolutely terrified about this issue should be something that everyone is talking about and everyone is key to it because if if we don't we face a really believe. that's a call to arms if there ever was one and here in the u.k. some groups are taking the warnings of entomologists seriously. i'm on my way to camp you wait to see the you case first reserve for in sacks. i'm due to be dr

sarah henschel an entomologist a bug life an organization dedicated to the protection of insects. but this desolate next industrial or brownfield site is not exactly what i was expecting. her you must be sarah i am married here and soon i'm very. well consider me us for just two days got sacked as one of them a spider virus and while. rich sites in britain so you join to take a look i really was. one of those places used to be the best site you stupid or you were finery you can see remnants of industry all around us has been abandoned for more than forty years and why is an old oil refinery an ideal spot for protecting bugs hasn't been managed has been a pesticide so it's providing not true crumpets hearts that have been walks in the wider landscape wildlife is using this is a refuge to release. their

words as it looks like a helicopter should be landing any minute now that a large tarmac base there's about sixty of them across the site they would have how is the large oil storage tank as you can see now is coring back and how many species of insects are there on the side there's over two thousand five hundred different species on this site alone including some found nowhere else this is why the site is a huge case focus because three try to find some will turn a little hunting for there are things about as brownfield site which makes so many all these different habitats and really small place a barrier the ground to back next flowers feed on scrope and trees to the winter and fight it shelter is an amazing mosaic of everything they need all in one place so why are these insects so important to the natural landscape so we need healthy ecosystems invertebrates indicate forests if the book's a hop a and the metaphor is happy so the mammals and the birds have also hobbies

and we need to look after the books and everything else will fall into line. camp the week has been described as a little brownfield rain forest and i can definitely see why. there are bugs everywhere so many that a team of volunteers carry out surveying work throughout the whole year. rorion image and already have their morning's work set out on their table which doubles as a lab i don't want to reach here what's going on in here this was really active ground beetles there's a predator a living this back ground a conduit we've got a few species that are actually only found here did you catch these all today or over the past week do you think a cold spring day today you still see this in which diversity of life here. and what will this help you through before and so give us a girl based on our hair and not wait we can see how it's improved on what we see more of what we're doing regular studies like this. like it is really

important to see how the rest the country is doing do you release the insects or do you take them back to a laboratory what happens to them most of them we can so we can really. take a look at kind of caterpillars this is a mucky muck and so they're living saw this protective on the joys you used to find and if you were out in the u.k. . you'd probably find these consequence and we see them all over the place i think this is a package of. the. rights that there. is a space is that it's. surviving on sites like this. since bug life started serving nearly ten years ago three insect species believed to be extinct has been discovered here and. it's exciting and i can't resist trying to find a few myself one to go to the stock to sort of all right. i've got something.

this is a tree back here and i want to look at this home a flaw i have a fire that i really critically important to the ecosystem and i'm not so. down to just. the sort of thing as well as i was talking about. was a bomb yeah. in all seems like good fun but this surveying is crucial not only for monitoring insect numbers but also managing the land so that it provides the best possible habitat for these creatures to thrive. emission has offered to show me a declining species that need some special treatment but i haven't here and say that's a brown debate and it's one of the two hundred different species of peace and last so you can find on this site another what is to remove some vegetations they have some background they can borrow into and make what we call b. cliffs removing vegetation sounds counter-intuitive to

a nature lover like myself but emission is the expert so i'll wait to see what she has to show me she's taking me to find an elevated spot to create our b. class. so what we're going to be doing is we're going to be cutting back a lot of across a lot of scrub a lot of people when they want to save invertebrates they figure they have to walk far meadows which is incredibly important but also they do really need these nice of areas that they can live it and how do they occupy the space so they sort of burrow into the sand yes they're what they're up to yourself probably find and know how to write this one. and i'll take a bit on marston's have on them ok that i. did make a really good dentist to really base yeah definitely. and. it's so amazing to be so close to it especially when it's such

a rush to be shot we often think of conservation and species we just think of these meadows in these perfectly manicured landscapes in the middle of a wasteland you know away sun to them it's sad how bad it's in fact the last place they can be in this area so it's really important that we take that into consideration when we make decisions about modern. today can be weak has been a resoundingly success. but to save britain's in sex more land must be given over to their protection. sara wants me to see another site the bug life is looking to reclaim twenty kilometers down the road at west thurgood marshall if successful it could add an additional seven hectares of protected habitat to the cause it's been a quiet so far with. fire and i went over a few times already so. before

the site was abandoned it was a coal fired power station this black substrate is the fly ash which is the byproduct was later on in the summer these low nutrient poor quality cereals really favor the wallflowers that. was. really love and take advantage of the untrained eye it looks like so we've had a huge amount of work campaigning and raising awareness and we hope this is going to be one of our next big reserves and. you have a lot of resistance when you approach developers and local governments when you want to talk about conservation on sites that could earn a lot of money for them of course because this is prime development. fortunately in just ten years the hoff with the brownfield a person just in the thames gateway or you've been developed so it demonstrates the need for sites such as county where and hopefully that's in the future that preserved in some ways because we're losing this resource quicker than even finding out how important is. this i prize an amazing opportunity to challenge perception

on the key drivers of size investments books that are important and i think we should have more of these not only in the u.k. but elsewhere in the world. after hanging out with sarah and her amazing team of bug life i don't think i can ever go by any piece of land no matter how derelict in forgotten and not see its full potential and we really need to have this shift in perspective because as our own species rapidly grows in industrialised his land every square inch counts and by protecting our insect neighbors will ultimately safeguarding our own future. insect's numbers are in steep decline but across the globe people are endeavoring to reverse this alarming trend. in the u.s.

conservationists at oregon zoo a saving to local butterfly species by breeding and releasing as many as two thousand along the coast each year. and an engineering student at simon fraser university in canada has designed a real time beehive monitoring system to track b. health through microphones and heat senses. by helping to pinpoint the causes of colony collapse disorder or invention has the potential to save millions of bees. the race is on to prevent the collapse of the planet's insect populations if life on earth is to continue as we know it and we need to move fast. business.

clear that the purchase of. any military equipment is a sovereign decision which no country has. anything to do with so there is no legitimate grievance behind this letter and threatening to cut them and violating the international law by writing all the international norms and. most importantly it's violating the. g.c.c. charter which is the countries of the g.c.c. should not launch an attack against each other so we believe that this letter has nor any legal basis to justify. any action we have been subject to a unilateral measure which was taken by by the saudis unfortunately as reckless behavior from what do you make of the saudi claim that it would disturb the balance of power it represents an escalation for qatar to obtain the s four hundred says

well it's unfortunate that they see this as as destabilisation because other option is not of presenting any threat for the saudis but what most importantly we have to look at the behavior of the saudis since the past year when we see the actions how it's going in yemen or what they have done with the prime minister and the recently. the president of france himself he said that he saved the country he said the region from a war by helping in reasoning the prime minister of lebanon so this is something that they have been continuing as a pattern in their behavior according to the information you have do you believe this report in the press that saudi the saudi king really made this threat do you think it's credible world we are seeking for a form of confirmation from the french government and have you received any response what are they said to their response. should be to more.

if it's confirmed what would your response be to the saudi oil if we are going to respond legally by. the response of a country that this is not violating international law and as a threat for our country which is not acceptable by the international community do you need to take this cut the need to take any defensive military steps in light of this reported thrill we are going to take all the necessary action to defend our country but much like the world what do you count words in this is first of all this is not there is nor any serious military threat out of this but it's the way it's been used to justify it. or to create any disturbance in the region is just unacceptable so. is going to treat this. the same way they have we have treated their legal blockade we are going to seek or the international

fora to make sure that this behavior is not repeated will come to go ahead and buy the s. four hundred missile system or are you a tall rethinking that in light of these reported threat. may made all the options open for its defense for its defense procurement so we are seeking the best quality of to defend our country and we have all the options open for this so it's possible that you may not need to buy the s for how this is and what your stance is subject to the evaluation of the military people it's not a decision which will be taken in light of that letter of the letter that that threat has absolutely no bearing no political bearing on the decision on whether to . remain independent country and that's protecting its independence this is would not be subject for any compromise issue or the blockade took many people by surprise here's a look at what happened. on may twentieth last year u.s.

president donald trump signed a multibillion dollar deal with saudi arabia just three days later the council news agency is hacked attributing false and insightful statements to the amir of qatar u.s. intelligence agencies confirm that the u.a.e. was behind the attack next comes the big move june fifth bahrain the u.a.e. saudi arabia and egypt cut diplomatic ties with cancer and impose an economic embargo they accused of supporting terrorism which doha denies other neighbors try to ease the crisis q eight begins mediation turkey sends cargo planes full of food to casa and iran opens up its airspace on june twenty second the blockading nations release a list of thirteen demands including the closure of al-jazeera u.s. support for the blockade starts to waver in july as secretary of state rex tillerson visits council home to the biggest u.s. military base in the region in september immy addresses the un general assembly

saying the blockade was an assault against a sovereign state not a violation of human rights but the blockading countries refused to sit down at the annual g.c.c. summit with cat has a mia in december meanwhile ties between the u.s. and canada continue to strengthen president trump welcomes the amir to washington where he praises him for taking a stand against i saw a new secretary of state mike pompei o travels to saudi arabia in april his main message on his first overseas trip resolve the gulf crisis and end the blockade of gaza. takes a look now at what cat has done in the past year to combat the blockade. it has not been an easy year for qatar but for now protests from all over the world fill up store shelves cranes other most visible sign of the huge push to build mega projects in time for football's world cup in twenty twenty two but

a year ago on the fifth of june during the fasting month of ramadan qatar is work up to a president at crisis saudi arabia the u.a.e. behind rain and egypt cut off diplomatic ties with qatar and imposed a land sea and embargo the blockade in countries accuse the qatari government of sponsoring terrorism accusations doha strongly deny it attempts by the emir of kuwait and regional leaders to and the diplomatic feud have made no progress so far unfortunately we don't see any credible indicate there was to suggest that there will be a solution in the near future and i think there have been serious at them send the past serious efforts invested to broker this crisis and to reach an agreement but unfortunately the parties are still stuck in their positions and unable to move

forward with a solution of the four arab countries were hoping to see the blockade isolate internationally but what followed was a qatari diplomatic offensive led by shared i mean been hammered thirty who met world leader as his country signed major arms deals with friends it's ali the u.k. and an agreement with the u.s. to combat terrorism financing. in april the emir met president donald trump in washington d.c. the u.s. leader had qatar as a force of stability in the region and trump who also. saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed princella van around the same time expressed concerns about the fallout from the crisis it's a very unstable region and the gulf has always been the most stable part of an unstable region and this crisis has kind of thrown this region into

a quagmire that they didn't have to be in and i think the trouble is treasure realizes that you know at least we have to provide one pall of stability and the center of gravity of the arab world in general has been the gulf in recent years so why the region there in crisis there is something that that had to be avoided at all cost. trump has invited the g.c.c. leaders to meet in the u.s. in the hope of finding a political solution but that invitation has been delayed a the blockade in countries insist no talks will take place until qatar meets their demands. is iraq. well joining us now in the studio luciano is a carter who is an assistant professor of gulf politics with the gulf studies center university good to have you with us the u.s. has made it patiently clear to saudi arabia that it wants this blockade this this regional spat over and done with and as we heard in that report there seems to be no movement we're no closer to finding an end to this blockade why is that what's

the sticking point here i think that the united states wants to give a message but they don't want to engage directly in pushing or pressure in saudi arabia directly because they need saudi arabia to fix other issues mainly the problem that they have with iran so i think that the united states how are facing now major problems in the middle east. confrontation bindon qatar and saudi arabia or the blockade is not they mean each show for american foreign policy and i don't think they will spend much more energy bearing in mind that they don't see the blockade is actually. in the regional generating more problem for their money coming interests in the region as for us both states have good relations with the united states i suppose it's about finding a way for saudi arabia the u.a.e. to climb down without losing face. i think it's a way to to at least to show that the united states have some interest.
