a practice leader for force and international he joins us via skype from brussels we appreciate your time so much so as we just said in this report where some of this is happening are areas that are supposed to be protected what is failing. well the drive for deforestation is coming largely from food and i would culture production so what you have is you have really a big expansion of these commodities in areas that are supposed to be protected because they're driven by global commodity prices and governments are not able to do enough to be able to stop but that growth and not drive of deforestation caused by that demand from food and agriculture production so largely economic. logic anomic but also there's issues such as governance corruption plays a big role on speculation. when you have people who are on the ground who are poor

and they are looking to try and improve their livelihoods then they're going to try and find ways of making money and that can be through deforestation so i'm glad you put it that way because for some people yes and for some companies i'm sure it's just about you know profit but for some people it is really about survival so how do you change that how do you change that culture or give them other options you know well this is what is being done around the world and we've seen in this in this last report some post of stuart this from indonesia where that rate of deforestation has actually been reduced by strong government action so working to protect protected areas better and also working with companies and with the most and with stakeholders on the ground on farmers to find far more sustainable ways of producing commodities and that has led to a big decrease in deforestation indonesia so i'm still the first action happening but there's a decline because of those actions so is it about an incentivizing doing the right thing. yes there's incentives that can be driven by governments but also to buy

companies companies can take responsibility for their supply chains and look at where they're getting commodities from so whether that's from saudi palm oil beef. which had a big drivers of deforestation they can say ok well we're not going to buy those products from places where deforestation is being caused by their production and they can take action a supply chains and then they can also and in those landscapes and work with our farmers work with the communities work with indigenous people who live there to ensure that the good livelihoods and also that we have the areas protected that need to be protected here forces so important for the world are so important for climate change are so important for people culturally a very important for biodiversity that if i tell you in my lifetime we've lost about sixty percent of our vertebra animal populations and that's largely due to the loss of habitats like forests so we really need to step up as governments with companies and as consumers we can do more to ensure that we buy products that are

coming from. not not causing deforestation and also we can work as some consumers and as. people to lobby and to demand that this emergency that we're seeing in terms of the loss of forests and the loss of biodiversity is stopped and push governments push companies to do a better job i am alstrom on it with their international thank you very much thank you very much. an eleven day campaign of climate protests designed to cause major disruption in london has come to an end extinction rebellion demonstrators targeted the city's financial district on the final day of demonstrations more than three hundred people blew themselves to the walls of the london stock exchange and blocked roads around the bank of england and goldman sachs are testers have been calling on the u.k. government to the clear a climate emergency intake radical action on climate change. and mozambique tens of thousands of people have been rescued from their homes after a cycle mechanic made landfall on the north coast as

a source near the training ground the apiece faced by ethnic and religious minorities in football has left clubs and governing bodies scrambling to find effective ways to combat it in late march black england international players face races chanting from fans of opposing side montenegro in the euro two thousand and twenty qualifier the european governing body is investigating racism is not just confined to one league of one country through eventis players including most k. of was subject to racist abuse from opposing fans throughout a match earlier this month that came just days after europe's governing body ordered a club shut down esk and that c.e.o. to close parts of their stadium because of racist behavior among their fans players are finding new ways to highlight the scale of the problem and call for action danny rose and raheem sterling two players who were abused throughout that england match in montenegro were among several professionals who joined a twenty four hour social media boycott on friday but always reported cases of

racism in football on the increase. what more needs to be done we're joined by paul motiva he's a former english premier league footballer who is now active with anti racism group show racism the red card he's in london conking is author of offside racism playing the white man he's also head coach of the black and asian coaches association he joins us from london also in london is p.r. a power executive director at football against racism in europe and completing our lineup lee wellings is in london he's allowed to see us sport correspondent who has reported widely on well football hello chad it's good to have enhanced sorry about the subject matter i want to play this to you because this is a game between let's hear an ac milan poor i'm just wondering what this does to you when you watch this have a have a look has a have a listen. to all.

this banana is fake you prove this this is twenty nineteen what is going on. it doesn't surprise me it's happened in so much now that it's almost normalized you know to the three of the three other gentleman who will tell you that this is something that is being experienced far too often and for me i look at it i just think you know what are not supports it it's only it's prevalent that i have a huge problem with it's not to say that we don't you england have a huge problem with your boys a kid was was racially abused and his own manager claimed he was partly to blame he was a victim he's partly to brag so if they are saying things like that i'm not surprised about what. it's not supposed to be it's me asking you not in that.

yeah i think what we say. is. in football grounds what's happened over the last month. i think you know why there's one element. that might just be a good thing i think the chaps will know what i mean by the. high profile. people talking about it the having the conversation well why from what i'd like to see and that's proper action from fee for a new wife but these things happen all the time away from high level football that's something we need to make a distinction here this is top leagues throughout europe where mainly talking it happens week in week out across grassroots football where people are having to walk away from the guy because surprises and. the fact that someone like it's brilliant to see rheims come out and talk about this particularly because it means that people are putting a spotlight on what has been there and it's still there it's not that much worse now than it has been for the past few years in the past few decades so i'm picked

up on what you said lee as i think the line was what has been there and what is still there because we got this tweet from nestle on which we did the show off and i dedicated stream viewer and she writes the racism is making a comeback globally and the world of football isn't any different it's that idea of making a comeback and i'm hoping you can pick up on holland because you know you've been in this industry now for a while do you think this is something that has gotten worse or has it always been there kind of simmering under the surface. so i think i had a question but i think it's always been there that is easy in there think the diagnosis of the z's is changed quite a bit the cli from the seventy's where we actually accept is which are that two football merlin is no longer acceptable or so with no look at it from a punitive only view but if you look at it deeply transfer some of these for burton and study for the scientific beliefs about black people that translate from start start to the rise of the popular. movement within the stadium and i think we need

to take this really quite seriously what's happening in post modern society in football in their relationship and this needs to be a collective strategic approach to challenging these issues call as a young player here at sports extreme racism that put all of that and one into playing football so you moved on some more cultural can you tell us about that story that made you realize how weston's football can bowl. well unlike poorly when you had that fortune of planned a professional game disqualifier black players in the seventy's who were actually with demonised and abused by white coat in the structure of the game i was called the n word which are quite traumatic i ended up in session under the method of facts and i think there's a lot of things that those experiences of but what i think caused post traumatic issues facing black players now and in the game the structures i think was particularly difficult is that you can't locate racism through the fan culture

that's what i call the the kind of like overt thought that there are also of interest to tional so a lot of issues that we need to look at that relationship. i've collins is quite right i mean for me as a kid i experience racism where i live television it's bush i love the boy so i kind of lived around there was i had to navigate my way from the school house and back again through areas that i knew i could go through because i was a black guy so when it kinds of focal. was i'm ready for it yet did i experience a yes but a different life there was the other stuff where it was told to my face but there were also things like i had physiotherapist people who are in positions of authority tell him a few things like well you know you don't need to do this for me today because i know black guys don't like to sweat i had people side to mate kowtow to sides of me

you know what you're not going to be great over the next few months because the weather is getting cold you know it was it was things like that as well as stuff it was the subtle stuff where people you know because of my characteristics as you think i'm angry i was angry for example. that spells of i disagreed with someone and they say you have to agree your lot are at the agri are you so people start to look at that and identify that with me because of my characteristic so it's not just the overt stuff that's in your face it's the susser stuff that people don't see that people are quite sure about. they are what i find one of the reasons that people haven't always say it is the media of course not reporting that sort of comment but. i'm guilty of this as much as anybody else in the i as a young reporter were posted on crystal palace much as the pope died but we spoke about and invitees and then i think partly overshadowed by some of the wholly going

isn't that was happening but people just weren't talking about a rights issue and it was happening it was happening supplies it was happening quite quite famously john bones and over decades these things are still have not been talked about over the last few weeks particularly and in english football i mean obviously with the same kinds of months and i go as well but within the premier league there have been these high profile case in the bay in what. you've said and of course the question is is this partly to do with the political climate in the country at the moment is it to do with the tension around breaks it actually some of it's filtering into the into the stadiums i'm quite sure what the chaps think about. dowd's i would say yeah i would definitely say yes because i did work for the organisers cookout recently and when the referendum decision came out there was a spike in behavior where people literally it was probably as i could tell people

to. go out to leave now the thing about you know you'd leave your job at range sterling and what happens in chelsea when he walks over to the side of the pitch to pick up the ball was racially abused for me that upset me because twenty five thirty years ago the exact same thing happened to me i was a guy played one of my teammates before the game said to me listen there's a certain section of the crowd ok with the ball goes out there do not go there and you know as a young lad i'm so close and said now i don't want to hear you have to give up his well the ball went out there and i went out with the abuse i got the heat of the high treats the experience when i saw her he. said yeah play me play me just play that so many but let me just play that moment. you know going to hear what people are same people who were that sang. it was rice disappear and can you imagine not being you know what price of having to go to work like that. lee just mentioned a very famous incident which was. playing in an f.a.

cup game and he was kicking butt nonis off the pitch there's a banana that that was in the one thousand nine hundred but let me show you something that was just a little while ago again here recent game. on the pitch many of which want to take us next you mentioned the media and that is actually something that we heard in our community as well and so i want to share an example of just one of the examples this is from raheem sterling sexual instagram page document we mentioned his name a little bit earlier and he showcases two headlines really ripped from the headlines one about himself young manchester city footballer twenty on twenty five thousand a week splashes out on a mansion on market for two point two five million despite having never started a premier league match i mean he shares another headline about a similar player who also bought a home for his mother and the headline is quite different manchester city's starlet

phil gordon buys a new two million home for his mom so you can see the difference there but it's that idea that is making headlines itself so this is one from someone we actually got a video comment from this is from e.s.p.n. the undefeated and here is what the author of this piece told the street. research. shows a strong. raise is medium is used. particular . that's why it's a great year.
