4:10 am
sources and the majority of these people were hit by live ammunition these people here would tell you that they are fed up of talks of having a state talks of having peace while instead what they see and on the ground is intensifying illegal israeli settlement building intensifying israeli power and is released which often when the israelis say that they are investigating the allegations or these attacks 90 more than 90 part of 5 percent of these attacks go on indicted so there is a sense here that these are. a.d.'s are building in the people like us bang having the upper hand and these people here are trying to fight that and the only way as many of them were telling us they don't don't have arms don't have anything and one palestinian put us there was even showing us how he was making a bullet off booked it by adding petrol and
4:11 am
a piece of cloth dripped into and then they would fire it and try and send it towards the israeli soldiers it's kind of like small old me they don't have much but they were telling us that if this is what we have to liberate palestine so this is what we're going to do. on israel's one bob meant to spot a global outcry they've been of solidarity rallies around the world as tens of thousands of people show support for the palestinian people. in iraq demonstrators held a rally in baghdad's tyrion square many were shouting untie israel slogans one sun burnt israeli flags last public gatherings have been rare in iraq since the government imposed curfews to curb the coronavirus there were similar scenes in the u.k. as thousands of people protested in london lines of people waving banners in palestinian trying to strike through the british capital as the urge the government to take

4:13 am
for any cause that is in recent years the fact that people come out this party it's called restrictions the spice. and. now that the large numbers shows just how strong they feel about what is happening in gaza obviously this off of the property owned altars here are not short cut it's building its offices decimated and destroyed by an israeli attack in gaza but like i say this is going on as well as other efforts popular for 5 people living in profit including charts a crime pains to raise money and medical aid for the people. still ahead on al-jazeera china becomes the 3rd country to complete a successful mission to mars will look at what he's hoping to discover on the red planet. until reach the baltic sea to sweden where a joint oxygen free dead zone is one of the latest symptoms of climate change.

4:17 am
destroyed an 11 story building housing international media including al-jazeera and the associated press both companies have condemned the attack involved to continue reporting from gaza. let's turn to other world news now and india's government says corona virus infections and deaths are stabilizing after reporting the smallest right daily rise in new cases in nearly 3 weeks but it says the virus is rapidly spreading through rural areas and experts say most deaths there and not being reported official say the bodies of around 2000 suspected over 1000 victims have been recovered from the river ganges the river flows through some of the poorest states where many families can't afford cremations on saturday india arie 40 around 3900 deaths and just over 326000 infections barkha dutt is editor in chief at module story and news and current affairs program she's in veyron in eastern pradesh and told us what she's been seeing there. i personally
4:18 am
went to a river bank by the holy ghost and counted 7 bodies that had to be buried in leadership leaves that had to be been abandoned nobody knows by who over the last 3 days i've traveled to the interiors there have been it least 3 different villages where i have counted hundreds of bodies and it's gone well past 150 bodies in that is that your audience was told about in fact estimates suggest that they could be 2000 up to 2000 bodies still to just floating about and uncounted on a college not even added in the school and basically we do not fill it in bodies are being abandoned because people are stigmatized by having obeyed or they do not have money or commission public what we are seeing is mass graves. and the big question is these bodies are never going to be tested for called it so when india is counting it's cool they did that these are the bodies that are not even going to
4:19 am
be included in our final count so the moral question that's maybe the reason why the side of filthy corpses in the leader of the ganga is this are we ever going to go the full scale of the calamity that is i'm sort of being killed in the need to live in the uk that is the moral question that is really captured in the looking caucasus that i. see different villages counted myself in the hundreds once known as a coronavirus success story taiwan is imposing new restorations that it has a battle's its worst outbreak since a ban demick began in taipei and surrounding areas indoor gatherings are limited to 5 people and shops and restaurants will close and for the 1st time masks are required outdoors after 180 new community infections where reported. chad has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world one out of every
4:20 am
$100.00 pregnant women is expected to die during labor or from related complications as him organ reports from the capital one of the biggest challenges is access to medical care. this hospital in chad capital is where how one comes to receive prenatal care it's more than 2 hours away from her home but it's her 1st pregnancy and she's been experiencing complications and with her due date just weeks away she fears for her life and that of her baby. i've heard stories of women suffering during childbirth and i've been getting it regular pains in my stomach so i come to the hospital to get help because i don't want anything to happen to me. i was says her fear is made worse by the fact back teenage pregnancy increases the chances of maternal mortality she's only 14 and chad has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world more than 60 percent of its nearly 60000000 population live below the poverty line and while access to
4:21 am
maternal health care is one of the few services that's offered for free the rate of women losing their lives during childbirth has not reduced much over the past decade more than a 1000 pregnant women out of every 100000 are expected to die during childbirth or from related complications every year according to health workers several other factors are attributed to the high number of deaths including lack of enough health workers most of the fatalities are recorded in rural areas outside the capital where access to healthcare is limited less than 25 percent of pregnant women have access to medical a qualified personnel and years of conflict in the country's north and east has limited the provision of health services in those regions the united nations also says that the country's literacy rate is contributing to the high death rate for out of 5 women between $15.24 are illiterate. and health workers see that's affecting women's awareness regarding their health so the. women usually come to us
4:22 am
in late stages of pregnancy and by then they've developed multiple complications it's because they usually come suffering from malnutrition high blood pressure and that's the least it's sometimes worse we tell women to come to us as soon as they know they're pregnant so we can give them the right care but many are hesitant so when they give birth there are health risks not only for them but for the new babies that are born how was says she knows the risks she is facing and doesn't want to become another addition to the mortality statistics in chad she says she hopes to have a normal delivery but fears that at her age the odds may be against her and her child people more than al jazeera. saturday is the 1st day of a historic 2 day vote in chile which is electing an assembly of 155 members to write a new constitution and in a world 1st 50 percent of those elected must be female with $700.00 spaces reserves for indigenous people this comes off the back of mass protests that began in
4:23 am
$21000.00 and a vote tobar demanding an end to the current constitution and more social justice that america is a lucy and human has more from santiago. there was a referendum a few months ago you may recall where chileans were asked whether they wanted or not to scrap the pinochet era constitution and an over whelming majority said yes and so now we are seeing the exercise of actually electing from the very 1st time in this country who will write that constitution out of the population at large in the past they were politicians they had to be senators deputies people assigned by the president or others but now this is not the case in fact the vast majority of the candidates are independents because chileans only a very very small percentage of chileans belong to this country's now very discredited political parties weirdo in a working class neighborhood now and everybody here that we spoke to seize this election to elect the delegates to the constitutional assembly as the as historic
4:24 am
is the most important thing that many say has happened to them in their lives some older people who are being able to vote today they're getting priority say that perhaps they will not be alive to see the results of this but that they're hoping that that this new magna carta will lay the groundwork the contract for a better economic political and social system of of rights for all in this country and so this is what we're hearing over and over again but it's not another part of the city there are others who are concerned that those who are elected may be too radical they want to go just too far and destroy this country's economic system which at least for some has been very successful. and the ocean is a been a powerful ally in combating global warming but a mix of higher temperatures and pollutants has created dead silence oxygen depleted areas measuring tens of thousands of square kilometers where plant or animals can't survive. forced from sweden on the.
4:25 am
sweden's ability baltic coast a chilly spring has held back the tide of domestic tourists expected to hit these beaches due to foreign travel restrictions but it's not such a pretty picture under the water rising global temperatures and the impacts of fertilizer and sewage have caused huge areas with no over very little oxygen known as dead zones the baltic sea is the largest human interest in the world it is somewhere around 70000 square kilometers and it can increase global warming at a rapid rate the baltic zone may be the biggest but the problem is worldwide increasing by millions of square kilometers in the past half century the so-called dead zones are either in small pockets a little bit coast where they lose or gain oxygen according to the seasons all that far out to sea where they can be pretty much permanent cover vast region. they get
4:26 am
worse the deep. seas like the baltic have been a buffer against climate change absorbing excess heat and carbon dioxide. but tests have shown that is surface water heats up oxygen from the atmosphere can no longer get through creating the deadly out beneath so sea floors that should be full of vegetation and life are empty. it's one of the reasons cited in cases where thousands of dead fish have been washed up on beaches. solutions have been tested in the baltic such as a wave powered device to pump oxygen down below. a more low tech solution is here in a unesco wetland near the city of christian start. for this wetland means we hold water on land for longer before it reaches the sea so the vegetation can absorb fertilizer and pollutants and prevent algae blooms in the baltic so it's
4:27 am
one part of the puzzle in preventing dead zones. some hope emerged last month in the indian ocean where ecologists found a sea grass meadow the size of switzerland a vital site of carbon capture and supporting thousands of marine species but with evidence that areas like this are receding it may not be enough to mitigate the ever increasing loss of oxygen from the world's oceans a number that stands at 77000000000 tonnes of o 2 in just 70 years paul reese al-jazeera on the baltic coast of sweden china has successfully landed a spacecraft on mars 3rd country to have a rover touched on the red planet after the u.s. and russia. has a story. an explosion of relief and celebration after what scientists describe as 7 minutes of terror. watching their spacecraft

4:33 am
civilization but food today is a global commodity if the industry did not make money how many people would be and how it's cultivated a contentious debate public interest in the public safety is definitely not taking precedent and in-depth examination into our great business and the conflicting interests that play industry doesn't want any regulation interest want to put the products on the market the price of progress on al-jazeera. has populations grow and incomes rise with eating more and more animal protein double the amount of milk as the early 1960 s. and 4 times regulates the average person out of a 40 character of me to
4:34 am
a chair thank you for a 150 quarter pound. come up this is about persuading you to go seek and of edges hereon that's a personal choice there is a big warning like that what all this meat and dairy consumption is doing small planet. livestock farming is highly clue it will cause huge amounts of resources and summits large quantities of rain of assets. but i'm going to 1300000000 people around the world who depend on livestock for their survival so how do you this is less animal protein none at all look at it from sustainable and ethical sources and this program we visit not the state in the u.k. but found as a p.c. maker i'm a stored dairy and croplands the 1st up to santiago chile where a parent company is revolutionizing the fruit industry the cancer and artificial intelligence. the world's growing no exception to food made for money more products many of them process is increasing not only cholesterol levels but also
4:35 am
our environment that footprint. scientists say we have to cover cravings for meat in their e. not only for their own hill but also for the planets but how will the money just keeps on growing well the answer may not come from humans here in santiago chile well start to say leads to the help of artificial intelligence. and maybe a nice media welcome to not go thank you. this is actually experimental. call so what you're going to see here is the interaction between technology and humans in this kitchen there is a very special shift an artificial intelligence. so where if you step here though you said here in the experiment 10 nice 11 member of the. big generates receive peace which rebin an emo bass the she is using
4:36 am
plant and then the shift followed them. basically it's trying to get a technology that would allow us to predict what communication of ground based ingredients should result in the same sensory experience tastes textures smell the corners for a human being that might sound really crazy. for an algorithm it doesn't the process starts with giving you say a bit a dish to recreate the tray something i've never been a fan yeah for instance you know how right you can want yeah. we can try because now we have the meat also we have the ak and he seen the top of the list and yeah we have the cheese and also you have eternal sass that it's made from milk. press the button go and generating the recipe. oh you save us more than
4:37 am
a 100 different recipes we have. you see if it is suggesting that the a mushroom lemonade or and. also baking soda. we have a new talent there not less and yet so we go with her let me come else but now the lesson here though and meet with the will and yes the little self i've been assigned to to steal a recipe includes red pepper and not. using carrots and potatoes. ok so my teeth isn't quite working perfect or yes so here we have to be friendly salts combining different plants we are trying to achieve this stretch at least for spreading in the less area and this is not a threat or that this quite good more salvi there are very different
4:38 am
became a book the efforts here actually to make up advice and dishes but to enable you simply to learn more about the qualities to be for implanting rience so that like my most are really are just as useful as the successes so we have the results and now we are giving them the smell the flavor the text so use a piece actually learning from our sensory. yes. it's going to take a week to go through for the recipes. in the meantime i'm going to find out more about the science behind the operation. get for nothing like eat it it off but and then after you separate the gun it though you said i want to see some of the surround yes i'm. going to. have that. one and then. if i'm one of the. film we're going to. use that exact
4:39 am
moment that you are writing really into and breaking them down to their really killer level sable to work out what makes them taste feel smell and behave and to understand their nutritional properties then you can determine how to use different plants in order to simulate the final product. computer scientists and the brains behind you simply. start i was sitting in my office in the university and not just came and told me what do you come up with i'll go to them that finds a plan based formulas to me. and i had no idea how to come up with the solution but we could create the 1st algorithm there was already able to generate the 1st one based formula after we try them in the kitchen we realized that they were actually working and we realized we had something since that moment we never stop. what if
4:40 am
your goal. changes. pandemics all the calls because we are using the animal to produce food at scale the biggest goal is like one they want to see that the whole food industry changed thanks to the hostile to push the system to come up with new solutions we've disrupted formulas with great product alternatives not. loading the anymore and he will. have a challenge for you here you have to not products that are currently sold in america and out of these various i was here you must guess each of these products what is the vegetable container so let's start with a not meal. great not an apple yes. you can continue with the burger. are there any great in this burger not
4:41 am
really. know cocoa yet actually has cocoa on it. he ones are not going to combine this christian radio sable to without any prior bias find these mind blowing in winning combinations that actually match the animal by stargate the only way to really make people to change their current honeywell based products and start consuming plant based products is when they have a really tasty alternative. and it seems people do find these products they speak from a start up of 10 people into 16 not good now has a presence the world not in america and has recently entered the us it's one of a number of food companies writing a bill trend towards we released the name of products or known as the old one prediction says that in 10 years' time the alternative media industry would be bored the 140000000000 dollars supermarkets some fast food runs for jumping on the bandwagon. i've been very well read you want to bother you
4:42 am
here. there are a lot of people make it up on solution to a plant based diet we want to be part of that also that we want to reduce our carbon footprint and how many people are 1 consuming it we're probably going to read between then of course 1000 pieces each month. now for with right folks. not me yeah it really feels like actually. she's refused this interview peter goelz. it's been a week she sighed left the chef's time to see how getting on doesn't stand. well. so what has happened since the last time i was here we do their try arrow a lot of times. maybe with a ts 10 form or less with the 6.
4:43 am
point i can say in care being greedy and. here inside you have science. technology here you have you sitting. there go my chances of making peace at home. and secretive business. looks to me. oh let's try to write with. thank you. this is it. means he's fearless and i lowed is no less than your beef is with and. this is actually amazing him for me that i'd probably tasted many is doing. what i've seen here is a living example of public humiliation to solve
4:44 am
a very challenging brilliant can go a long way in how we turn going to radically change overnight but these are a few really hope that it could be possible to curb the world's unsustainable addiction to any one product. so we are seeing a shift there is still massive imbalances put it this way if all the world's mammals were weighed in tokens out then 4 percent with wild animals 36 percent of the us humans and 60 percent of the livestock and that 60 percent needs kostin for across which take up around 40 percent of us habitable labs so ecosystems are disrupted and viruses and wildlife are more likely to come into contact with livestock and with humans add to this obesity stroke and other illnesses which can be associated with excessive meat consumption and you've got a ticking time bomb the science is today clear so. it is so important that if we don't fix food we are very unlikely to fix the planet and over consumption of red

meat continued towards undermining both planetary health and human health this does not mean that we all have to go for to terra we carried out a global scientific assessment the commission trying to define scientifically a healthy diet from sustainable from systems and what we find is that a flexitarian diet gives the best outcomes in terms of life expectancy and healthy conditions what is a flexitarian diet will is a diet that drastically reduces red meat consumption compared to the high park up at the levels in the industrialized parts of the world animal protein dishes can be served $3.00 to $4.00 times per week 2 from fish 2 from white meat and one from red meat so if it's a 10 day it is a more balanced diet it has reduced dairy products more nuts more fruit more vegetables less salt less sugar and
4:46 am
a very large increase in whole grain and if you apply this across the world we find that it's not difficult to adapt this to different cultures if all of us eat the healthiest diet the one that benefits us the most we would also have a significant positive in fact on the health of the planet and the could muses that we have so much evidence that what we eat is probably the single largest contribution towards not only improving the climate but also less pollution better water management and saving biodiversity so every day our food choices really matter. how can the meat we consume as part of the flexitarian actually help the planet but in the course of restoring that. husband and wife team. discovered a highly sustainable way of raising livestock. the conversion

of wildlife habitat into farmland is a primary driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse the u.k.'s provision for nature is among the poorest on the planet around 70 percent of the country's land surface is used for agriculture while less than 3 percent of ancient woodland remains. hundreds of plant and animal species face extinction including iconic animals such as the turtle dove and the hedgehog. but an increasing appetite for environmentally friendly food plus a rise in domestic eco tourism could offer a lifeline to british farmers and a beacon of hope for british by diversity. i've come to sussex in southern england to visit a dynamic project that is proving it's possible to boost biodiversity at the same time as producing food that's healthy for people on the planet.

this is the 3 and a half 1000 a kidnapper state run by husband wife team charlie borrowed and isabella tree together they've taken farming convention and turned it on its head. so. isabella thank you so much for having us. so this is the famous net it is it is not sneaky this tree we reckon is about 50550 years old so it see in the interests of a war it scene you know we just can't imagine what it's witnessed it was concerns for the health of this ancient oak that led isabelle and charlie to radically reconsider their intensive farming methods the other trees in the landscape which were much younger than this one they were beginning to die back and it was what we were doing to them that was making them so. we were plowing pretty much up to the trunks of all these other trees and pouring chemicals over and we suddenly thought
4:49 am
like god you know those trees are dying and it's down to us and it was a sort of moment of epiphany really that sort of kicked off a completely different way of thinking. isabella and charlie spent years trying to make net pay but farming the land profitably was proving impossible this soil this very very heavy clay just isn't conducive to modern intensive farming so after about 17 years we were one and a half 1000000 pounds in debt so in 1909 charley said we gotta stop farming we've got to look at something else that's something else was the decision to let nature take over to stop conventional farming altogether. suddenly just letting it go it was like the whole land was breathing a sigh of relief and to austin i felt amazing just looking out of the windows on on land that was recovering and hearing the sounds and watching wild animals with the
4:50 am
fallow deer you know slowly moving past it was like being in the middle of the serengeti it just felt amazing. after selling off their milking herd isabella and charlie introduced red deer from the highlands of scotland just beginning to kick off and they were up so his ruling day and night to attract the females. was just absolutely astonishing the life that poor back even the very 1st summer. nap is now hoping some of the rarest species in the u.k. make a comeback turtle doves night jaws and purple emperor butterflies are all thriving here. not really inspired us i think to think could we roll this out across the whole estate but could we actually then do something wilder more of the estate was good. over to nature with dramatic results. so this is the 2nd
4:51 am
chapter of the net wild man project and i'm told this is where things get really wild. on it ladies and gents. so we come down to the southern block here and we're going to meet charlie paul and he's the other half of the net wild land project and still for to take us and give us a bit of a tour around. 3 just in a backyard. across an innocuous it might seem strange getting in a safari vehicle to drive around the english countryside but once late tourist to see the next big 5.2 part to business morning. it isn't long before our 1st sighting oh you see in something followed you're
4:52 am
really flighty thing you look look look look look look. look my last. that was genuinely funny. charlie wants me to see a rare visit to the last 8 on these shores with high centuries ago white stork. if you look at the oak tree like that and there's a there's a broad area with your binoculars you will see that so not all costs are going to. go bang well this is actually the 2nd nest to be built in britain and 604 years. stalks were almost extinct in the u.k. but charlie and isabelle are helping to reestablish their big draw for eco 2 lists wanting to see something unique. net hosts over $50000.00 visitors every year. these animals we hope will be a connection for people in nature with these cosmetic animals you can start to the tiniest people into the countryside to think again about what they're looking at
4:53 am
what the city. going to find some long or that are just up there somewhere. spotted them at just over here in the scrub. longhorn cattle or one of nets so-called big 5 animals introduced to the estate to mimic the behavior of the wild ancestors. theys longhorn. the biggest of the big 5. so there's a proxies of the wild cattle of europe that has got traits we hope of still there in the breed so the grass eating animals their brows eating animals brows being they eating leaves and bark and and how the vegetation as well as grasses why is that important ecologically so we consider that the drivers of creating new
4:54 am
habitats are these big havel's they are the ones that are driving a system and they are creating the habitats where everything else is and pouring in so you really flipping it here rather than having a field and putting cows in the field you're essentially employing these longhorn as staff so that they have a job to do yeah yeah. from the air it's easy to see how this landscape is changed from neatly arranged crop fields to savanna like scrub land is kept in check by the free roaming herbivores nibbling at the scrub to keep it at bay and whilst at the same time spreading seeds and enriching the biodiversity in the soil. they also produce 50 tons of wild organic free range meat every year the finishing and all provide an important source of income for the state. this would be an arab oil field in 2005 say so we were putting on fertilizers and pesticides they've got
4:55 am
double the amount of organic matter in the sold double the carbon the soil is becoming healthy and and wholesome again. the animals known as the big 5 x. more ponies red deer followed the tamworth peaks and long horn cattle are allowed to move freely around the state. ecologist laurie jackson one of 16 scientists on site is taking us out to track down some of the. most affected ecosystem engineers. so this is one of our lovely tamworth south and what she's doing is this great behavior could retooling so you can kind of see if you get in here what they've actually done this but this is really sort of strong my pulse now using that just basically back and sort of lift over the tire and see what might be hiding underneath that they might like to eat. is the constant disturbance of the land by these animals to create such
4:56 am
a diverse ecosystem. we're not sort of plowing the ground in any way and we are trying to get back to what our ecosystems would have looked like and say these 5 different types of animals that we have here there o'shea from this landscape instead of subtly different ways because they've all got different things that they want to do different places they want a guy that's the in the midst of cutting edge science yeah it's very much about the sort of process so it's kind of as much as possible taking ourselves out of the equation and the theatre things that just 30 is quite refreshing. charleen isabella's radical decision to stop conventional farming is starting to pay financial dividends the council is booked years ahead the wild range meat business is booming and there's a fire eater growing ever more popular. but it's a success in encouraging wildlife this attractive increasing numbers of farmers to visit now to see how lessons learned here could turn around britain's biodiversity
4:57 am
crisis. when i was it i recall 2 college you know there were the environmentalists who we called the bunny huggers and they were the proper farming folk and we were learning out or how to be productive and to and to intensively farm the land and it seems mad that we're still in these 2 camps and what we need to do and what this will assist us to do the whole net project i think is to is to bring both camps together and say farmers finally twigging they can we what we can learn here into their day to day activity on the farm profitably. everyone is talking about now everyone is looking at this wonderful island of biodiversity and a thriving business and where we're going to get to in the future how are things going to change. what i think is begun to happen and that's what's really exciting this projects across the whole of britain from devon to norfolk to northumberland we have visions of wildlife corridos and really joined up landscape again which would be thrilling so this is not just conservation for its own sake we're talking
4:58 am
about a business that has to be financially viable for the boat with setting $120000.00 pounds worth of bint in 5 years' time we're hoping that that will turn over 3 quarters of a 1000000 so we're hoping that we're going to create a business with some of the best mates in the world did you ever dare to dream that it would grow in the way that it has done i think at the time it was just you know wouldn't it be interesting if we could do this experiment and if biodiversity could increase just a little bit that would be worth doing and had any idea that it would take off and become a magnet for us through all these incredibly rare species so it's been beyond beyond anybody's dreams i think really. what set up shots here while avoiding or at least significantly reducing meat and dairy is probably the single biggest way because less of our environmental impacts and there are plenty of means to do that plant based berkus misread in the last save if you

make alfie this may take a bit of a mindset change but they are real alternatives for those of us who don't want to convict on a vegetarian the more more sustainably sourced animal options available as long as we eat less of them the risk how way in our plates and it's up to all of us who are lucky enough to be able to choose what to eat t.v. sets. counting the cost the return of fake government trillions in spending in the rich world but without super charge inflation stifling the economic recovery and football's business model wasn't working before the pandemic and it's not working
