in north macedonia. like colorful birds in the breeze these paragliders are competing against each other in the wind there are $150.00 pilots from $48.00 countries taking part in these world championships air sports have helped to provide a 50 percent boost to tourism in crucible next year the town will be an official world training site for me is there not only of us then it is a save sport professional it is but maybe the biggest issue of whether they ever did sport twice it's a weather dependent sport pilots rely on thermals or warm pockets of rising air to carry them through the course some go as high as 3000 meters and travel as fast as 60 kilometers per hour if you can't find a thermal you're forced to land the pilots are tracked by g.p.s. and have to fly along the course cortinas to get points for taking risks and breaking out of the pack and of course for finishing 1st this is one of those unique sports where men and women compete against each other c several of the

countries have both men and women on their team the top ranked female athlete who's also competing here is ranked 12th among the men france is a powerhouse largely because of pilots like meryl both their best to just go that female either not if i inspire other girls quite a few women bias by me especially. the best the most respected in the world she couldn't be here unfortunately she's one of those who inspires me. paragliding is more mental than physical many who are competing are in their thirty's forty's and fifty's and are as fit to fly as the teens i think i did well you feel good about it yeah i had a bad start quite slow but i managed to catch up and then i pushed hard. but finding the time and the money can be one of the hardest things about paragliding for this growing sport not even the sky is the little. leo harding

join our discussion via twitter or in our live chat. from brazil. amazon deforestation is happening rapidly under president brazilian president an r o according to brazil's national institute for space research the 1st 7 months of 2019 showed a 67 percent surge and before station that's compared to the previous year the far right leader called those figures misleading he's also said that environmental protections are what's holding back the country's economy since taking office this year regulations have been scaled back and the green light has been given to logging mining and other development projects and by them until it's worry that too much deforestation in the amazon could create irreversible damage to the region's unique biodiversity and worsen the global state of climate change so how will

opening up the amazon to business interests impact the world's largest rain forests with us to talk about these issues in salvador brazil as a political ecologist and professor of humanities at the federal university of. apollo are tasho and environmental physicists from the university of south from where he joins us. his background includes work studying the amazonian ecosystem and how to build sustainable development in the region and in london me out pretty good journalist who covers latin america welcome to the stream everyone i want to start with the view of our audience our community has so much to say about this so this is a tweet we got from grecia who says i have known the amazon forest since i was 7 watching a series it's very saddening that it's going to be cleared for agribusiness and it's fall and flora that i dreamt of seeing by age 30 i'm $27.00 now are going

to be destroyed so mia talk to us about how proportionate this tweet is to what's been going on because of course president johnson r.-o. took office in january what's happened since then when it comes to the amazon. yet emma is on record question is not a new phenomenon in brazil but i think what the concerning. rising rate augured destruction which are almost record high so in july we saw an increase of 300 percent comparing to last year that the equivalent of actually 3 every minute so that's the rate of the structural talking right now so what happened when joe you've also got to be can present anyone before during his elections was that he promised to ease regulations. mining companies operating and yammers our agricultural company companies operating operating in the

rain corps but he also hinted that he was. not only that but he has admitted that he is open to opening up the amazon for exploration so he believes that yemen is on like a very valuable commodity you have your have not only because all the good it can create meaner all. water and even oil so what he believes. on this well and it's not using it and so. electoral campaign he's being very very vocal about pushing for this and sometimes. actually hint at the legal and it could have. legal deforestation it seems like he's. lucky being a lot of value to what is happening and know what that is just pushing illegal. loggers and miners to continue to be right so you mentioned 3 football fields worth

of deforestation which is a good one for our audience to get a visual of if you know football of course so i want to broaden this out i want to share a map so that everyone knows what we're talking about here when it comes to scale so take a look at this the amazon is outlined in yellow it is shared by 9 countries 6700000 square kilometers to india's could fit inside the amazon and 10 percent of the world's known species call it home so philippe when it comes to this section of brazil how does this current government differ from the previous administration when it comes to policies that affect the amazon. well to have an idea it's much worse then than well as in the theater i've just been in one community of indigenous people in the amazon and there was this beautiful river that i used to swim there with the kids 4 years ago today there's no river anymore that entire

river has been destroyed by illegal gold miners who are also different to them as of so there is not for the 1st station for it at the range of but there is also a lot of illegal good mining company to every single indigenous land in them as of this writing river basins it's unbelievable how fast it can be what goes on mary's doing is not peace is amazon is not open for business is open for planned it's a crime against humanity international audience should be really really weird off what is being time what's happening in brazil it's a horrible crime against humanity villainy display i mean i think that this international attention that brazil has been getting in the past few weeks out say after these last day that i think it has showed just how much it bothers as i've also narrows intent to open the amazon for business he's

a very pro-business president and sorrow. of course i agree with felipe that in everyone everything everyone in the scientific. community says the same that presume that amazon has an invaluable. play in our planet it's not only like like you said the species it is if it homes but also it's our economic it's controls our temperature and it slows climate change it also is home to most of the . freshwater we can drink but it's just shells what present with the brazilian government says that if you did have. towards these criticism coming from a from international bodies is that the amazon is brazil's and not the world's presence. in the control of the amazon rain is the cover and position you mention i need a community just how low you are in that community go ahead because not just get

a lot of the bill for business you open for predatory b.c.b.s. your muslim funds short of a very nice example of that is it possible to develop adama's when you know us you still go away does not last too much money and it can be implemented quickly so basically it is not the issue to isolate a young muslim person but actually to give away or for the people who lives the numbers were not sustainable we are full of it because i was one of these critical for to global carbon cycle if you know what if a significant fraction from us going to. be killed i love it if very significant the greenhouse effect a good also a muslim is critical for the i don't know if you will for the whole group choice critically important to preserve young was on a resume all began to trickle down to the sustainable way yeah and paul if you

correct me if i'm wrong but from what i've heard from what i read i was on the cross station is right now at a total of 17 percent so 70 percent of that whole chunk you saw on the map is not destroyed and what scientists are calculating is that that point of no return that we've been hearing about is between 20 and 20 percent so we if if this calculation is correct we are very close to seeing. want to return indiana's on we don't have but i was told i was doing an article about it and i was told that every human being every being in the planet we don't have to kill the whole thing. security at our events right at me at that mother's idea is suffering pressure for books climate change because the climate in numbers are nice changing but all for a lot of really cool too and. it's not that up to a little profit if that event it small number of people only predicted this

solution to all the procedures and for the water the population social scientists have come up with a very nice ways showing that it is possible to develop a muslim in a sustainable way does not cost too much money we do need to have it to political will to do that sort mainly the issue is not scientific you put so much more political.
