so we can't export and we have no cash to pay providers. for now though no one is showing up at his shop. he hopes that the boarders will soon open, so he can begin exporting again. but until then, said, has no option, but to continue admiring his art works and the many stories to tell about the old and young men and women who toiled for months and years to make them pass your mind bulges, either mazata shareef. ah, let's have a look at the headlines here now just here and now china is economic growth has slowed down more than expenses. the economy grew by 4.9 percent in the 3rd quarter of this year. that's a drop of 3 percent from the previous quarter. katrina, you has more from beijing on one of the reasons behind the slow down. so i think in a way you can say that part of this performance number this lower result is because

the china has inflicted these certain cubs on part of its industry. so firstly, you can look at the cubs on the energy industry. china is really trying to reach quite strict climate change targets that have been very tied, codes on energy use across china. and as result, we've seen these power outages affect very major provinces here in china. and that's had a huge impact on the manufacturing industry and on productivities police in haiti say in a tory as gang is behind the abduction of foreign christian missionaries in the families, they were kidnapped as a lesson orphanage near the capital port of prince floods. and lance lives of killed at least 24 people in india, southern careless, state official say thousands of in evacuated and at least 100 relief comes have been set up. it's the worst flooding since 2018. i'll scan the sans

interior ministry says girls will soon return to secondary schools. since autonomy bonds, takeover only primary age girls have been allowed to go to school. male students and teachers were allowed to go back in late september, that the future of female teachers is uncertain with no plans announced about their return. a senior member of venezuela's opposition is urging the president to resume negotiations this by the government envoy being extradited to the us. the talks were suspended when alex saab was handed over to washington by k birthday. he was arrested last year over money laundering challenges. the talk saw aimed at solving venezuela's, political and economic crisis. it's driven the majority of the population into poverty. hundreds of salvadorans have protested against the government's decision to adopt bitcoin as legal, tender crypto concert can now be used as a form of payment. as the headline says, of thrives now on counting the cough,

the battle for influenza in latin america. after seating round to china, the u. s. takes to win over its neighbors with millions of dollars. the new investment and online learning took off during the pandemic back. can be had to take thought, i'd turn a profit, counting the cost on colleges here ah, in to cope with our growing population, we have tripled our exploitation of natural resources in just 40 years. as a result of the vast expansion of mining, industrial scale, farming, fishing, and other human activities,

natural ecosystems have lost nearly half the area and 1000000 plant and animal species are facing extinction. without the ecological networks which regulate our planets from cleaning air and water to providing food, we simply cannot survive. but there is still time we meet the pioneers striving to protect 2 of our most valuable remaining ecosystems. roberta, sweden were an invented clothing companies using groundbreaking technology to fight deforestation, and i'm a man to borrow in turkey, where one man is fighting to protect a wetlands haven for migrating birds. blue . ah, the fashion industry is worth $1.00 trillion dollars every year. tech found manufacturers made billions of garments might only be worn once or twice before

ending up in lanfield. the so called fast fashion is incredibly resource intensive, and perhaps surprisingly, one of the key drivers by diversity laws and deforestation. i'm in sweden where one company is working on a green solution to this global problem. but 1st, i want to understand the impact of fast fashion. so just 20 kilometers, i'd say store corner is the premium. we look for us to forest that we're on our way there to meet the call, right? she's a conservationist and she's on a mission to pick ancient forests around the world. mm hm. oh, it's great to see you. thanks so much. we'll come to stock on to do a story about fashion, what i have written for it. so there's a $150000000.00 trees that disappear every year into the clothing that we all where it's slated to double within the next decade. i've never heard of that connection

between, between fashion and, and for street. yeah, well, it's not an intuitive like that something that soft and silky next skin actually it starts off as a tree. many of these trees come from endangered forests, thousands of years old, known as primary forests around the world, 50 percent hold ready be lost due to human impacts such as logging. nicole runs canopy, an organization dedicated to protecting those that remain complete breakdown of the ecological functional area. there's a massive release of carbon in the atmosphere. disrupts species have attacks even though trees can grow back. insulin and danger far sir, or place simple to the forest to clear the wood is poked and processed into fabrics called rail and viscous, but is shockingly wasteful. as much as 70 percent of the harvested wood is dumped

or incinerated, just 30 percent ends up in the guns that we were. canopy works with businesses that source from primary forests to find the green alternatives. one of their main focus points is the global fashion industry. what's your strategy? are you going to make a difference in this? my experience is that it's some of these big global brands. they have the ability to actually engage their suppliers to stop them from logging in ancient and endangered forest ecosystems. and if we can redirect it to be more sustainable now, using recycled fabrics rather than ending up in landfill and for the current capacity that's already in production, let's just make sure it's not coming from really important ancient endangered parsed regents. i like that. so you're talking about a kind of a 2 prong approach. one is the kind of conservation and stopping that deforestation the 1st place. and the 2nd one is this recycling element. so reusing what's already

been produced. so that's a big priority for canopy is to really help kick start commercial scale production on face next generation solutions. mike recycle clothing being used. i've got a confession to make that figure. thermal aha, because those terrify, we're going to freeze. and i looked at the label and the way here is that there is 3 per cent, this good, clever. yeah. i wouldn't feel bad. i as you, i was surprised when i 1st discovered the line between ancient and endangered farce and viscous blue can appear helping to transform the fashion industry. one of their partners is a recycling company in the town of christian. hm. cold renew. so they've invented a pioneering technology, the promises to transform textile manufacturing. it came of age in 2004 scene. when a catwalk model dawned, the yellow dress made from 100 percent chemically recycle fabrics. the 1st time c e o mathias johnson is offered to show me how it all works. so right at the

beginning, yeah, this is the post on tumor. this is this is jean blue jeans. that people have a wear and tear about this both all the worse next for this it goes into our thread area on that. but i wrote that in a dry estate where we separate and a whole, and then it goes in to what stage with this. all of it is laurie, that we would pick out some of the color we bleach it a bit, and then we're dry it. what would be happening for this cell if you guys weren't using your, your process, most of it would be a landfill or a bar. we're going from able or from the guys that i don't read in the machine. i don't know that the breakdown every stage of the process has been carefully considered. the dies and chemicals are all recyclable and the water is reuse to. after the joint process,

the fabric is pressed and packed into paper like sheets. surprising, pregnancy video product. this is a fall and there's a lot of fellow i'm, that's one of those is really good stuff for making it go fiber. this is the raw material from which the fiscal fabric is finally made. the rest so you can print it like a normal fiber. then you've got to be moving into any are voting or we go here. this is a famous yellow dress. this is the world's 1st chemically recycled piece of garment . wow. oh, it's made from blue jeans. no, all right, same stuff. it doesn't look like were the environmentally friendly garment, this looks like any other common you would see in the high street. absolutely. and that's why we're not necessarily call this recycling. we call it up cycling. but

i'm inspired by what seen here when you sell are hoping to open another suite plants within the next 5 years. manufacturers are taking steps towards reducing that pressure on primary forest for all this to make a real difference in these to be demand. and that demand stores here on the high street, are you aware that there is a connection between the fashion industry and deforestation actually do nothing to both. do you know what viscous is? yeah, it's a synthetic material, right? organic material. you know where it comes from? no idea. are you aware of this connection between the fashion industry and d for station? no, i had no idea. judging by these shoppers, this some way to go before awareness will drive demand open nicole's organization. can it be a working to bring suppliers like when you so together with brands,

can stock their product, big fashion brands, they are driving a lot the, the problems that we're seeing how to address. that sure seems to be a bit of a disconnect. the clothing touches all of our lives on a daily basis. it produces a 100000000000 gallons every year. it hasn't been footprint. american top not have their big footprint when you're that big. and it's exactly because of that reason that we need them to be part of the solution. so it's fun to be here, i think on, on high street and in between 2 of canopies brand partners, compile, and h m, who are part of the 170 class brands that we're working with in the fashion sector to transform the discuss around supply chain so you said you be working with them. yeah, we see some of the stuff you've been working on. yeah, absolutely. let's go inside and have a look. can the success is growing all the time? nicole's hope is soon, every store will store recycle clothing. so this is a rack of clothing that has

a variety of different environmental qualities. this product here is really interesting as far as he can tell, just a pair of denim jeans, but it's got 20 percent recycled, cotton renew. so we saw them are producing a kind of a feedstock, which is a 100 percent recycled quote. and you think we're going to get to that point? i do. and i think, you know, in the short term this is what's available today. and renew cell is hopefully next season clothing. so then this moves from having 20 percent recycled cotton to a 100 percent recycled o. h m. recently partnered with renew. so to support was continuing research. this is part of the clothing joints pledged to use 100 percent sustainably. so as clothing by 2030, which will be priced, the same cost is non sustainable items. and in store customers are encouraged to drop off unwanted garments to be recycled by companies like when you sell. so i'm curious to see if there's anything in there if there's actually an yes look at that

. it could be any quotes that can be any brand quality. we have been working with big global retailers and designers on ensuring that this recycling program actually continues to increase so that it gets fed back into the coiling supply chain and ultimately becomes next season's fashion. so literally kind of closing the loop on it, that's where we want to get to that's. that's where we want to get to discover the link between the fashion industry and deforestation was shocking. i think with organizations like canopy. and when you sell, raising awareness, there is hope for the future. it's a massive challenge, but i think in the public are armed with the right information. they'll be able to demand more from the retailers. and then we might see a precious voice. stop being the victims of trash.

ecosystems are just like the systems in the body as long as they are looked after and managed well, then the body is in good shape. and if they're mismanaged and not care for the body, could potentially die. ecosystem collapse is a can to organ failure in our own bodies. if enough, of the organs that make up the terrestrial body are removed or are made sick, the body dies. the again, the earth is no different. each of us has a role to play and fixing this problem. we could have a world that is beautiful and vital, and alive, or one that is quite bleak and quite brutal. it's directly related to what me choose to do. whether or not we actually choose to do the work necessary to

mend and repair and rehabilitate our ecosystems or to participate in their death. ah wetlands. some of the richest habitats on the planet, in this remote corner of ne and tacky, is one which is proving to be an ecological gem. conservationists of any recently realize it's vital importance. not only for local pads, but also for those migrating from all over the world. and yet the iris with the wetlands is under threats. i've come here to meet a man who's hoping to save this remarkable parts of the world. john shaquille is a world renowned own authentic se, assume to, to come to a professor in the united states every year, chandra times to homeland attacking and comes to this iris part of the country.

what draws him here is a 5 kilometer squared pocket of land. the iris river wet plans, john came across it in 2005 and was looking just play with google earth. and i thought this looks like a globally important oasis and critical spot for migration breeding and wintering, birds. and it's compet different coming here in person, and i thought this is it. this is a place where i wanna do long term research to really understand what birds use this area. this rare, wet land, situated in a dry sub desert region, is created when the iris river floods. it's ideally located for migrating birds out of 35 global hot spots. we're at the intersection of not one, but 23 of the eight's worlds global bird migration flyers that intersect right where we are in north eastern turkey. it is one of the most special wetlands on the planet. you can face, he discovered a treasure child. how did he fail?

it was so exciting and it was so beautiful. i mean, i really did not expect. after 15 years we would have recorded almost 300 bird species. as 2 thirds of the antar, even far off the whole country, recorded over centuries. i mean, in this one spot of the 290 bad species or eva phone. i documented 1021 a globally threatened or near threatened including the caption, voucher and the car here. but further danger is looming. the government wants to dam this and tar valley. as for us, that village over there, flood this whole place, all this would be under 45 meters of water. and every season i come here to seeing it. still there is like a relief because i am always afraid ill all be gone. i have to come here and see it for myself.

early the next morning, john takes me to the birch within station down in the wetlands. he's currently fighting in the course to reverse the government's decision to build the dam. he hopes stay together here will prove the wetlands rich by diversity, and thereby in shore it's protection. we see everything here from minus 10 to our plus 40 santa, great in the shade king a very cold here, or very all at minus 10 degrees today. exactly. to get invited. yeah. we've learned is he on or something? oh yeah we, we do. we only have one in his turkey inside the team already hard at work on ng raising. the said they doing, the 1st is tiny way. can i touch my dog with this guy? know if he's got out with quote among the 600 meters, the glad net that surround the station. every hour from sunrise to sunset during spring and autumn migration seasons, the net to checks to see if any birds flown into them. please call and check the

raptor now. and there's nothing there. so we go back. that's my great to find condition favorable for living and breathing. it's early in the season here. so bird numbers are low, but there are some beautiful specimens. so we got our birds. okay, and the net what this is a mobile boat to the collector. yeah, they hit the net slide into her pocket and then get entangled. some of the bad katya heflin pertains nonstop and my great for hundreds or thousands of calamities initially to be able to survive. germany is one thing. they owe me fat as their fuel right before migration. some birds will double their body mass and that's why please like us are so critical because they did these stop over locations to keep eating and to keep replenishing their fuel reserves. now that i'm down in the valley, i can get a sense of why they stop it because it's warmer than just

a bit higher up. this water everywhere. bits of foliage coming out. and the think the can't see on camera is that there's actually insects. it says the huge amounts of food to be got here by migrating about one in 8 bird species are facing global extinction due to perils including habitat loss and pollution. so his only increases the importance of an oasis like this. these days, if you're studying by diversity, it's almost impossible not to become an activist because you know you are study things that are being destroyed every moment you study them. one roman ramirez is a spanish ornithologist. one of 400 volunteers from 33 countries who have come to work here since chance, set up the station in 2005. now we got the birds from, isn't it? it would go to the station, willing them think so. measurements on it, on the back to the gulf is bed was born definitely last year. and this

is their 1st spin integration for this bird that raises they, even when it's just one year old. it knows instinctively where it has to go as incredible natural signs, including changing de length trigger pads, hormones, switch, switch on the urge to travel. all the information gathered here is sent to a central database at chance university in utah. let them look very awkward on unless the ones that make them cookies and chums or so it's on a truck. yeah. but it just takes a little muscle, the high roller and i was very little get onto the truck. you should get a smaller truck or free on the for these were some very condition on the other one by blowing on the bad chest. one can tell it's fact levels. if the skin is pink, they are low. and if yellow, the bird is plump enough to travel on simple, not just for slights,

and to think that this bird is come from little thousands of kilometers from, from the start of its journey in africa. said it's just extra because it's so tiny on them often. but the next oh such for every individual with a couple of for this i'm go to the left. oh, you can feel it's hard facing this tiny little hut. one for the data has been gathered. the bad can be released to go. we just want to go over 14 years, the team have ringed around a $108000.00 birds. when they are caught us, why research is can contact the station here and their migration can be tracked. i feel like i've learned so much about why this place is so important as a refueling station for, for those birds, which a traveling across the wells on their journeys, and being here with the team. witnessing that passion and their commitment to the

cool was his really brought home to me just how important is play says but 16 kilometer is not the right. is the reminder that despite it's important, the fate of the iris river wetlands, it's far from secure. this is why i want to bring you here, just to see what happens when you build a dam on the, our us river. could birds not live here? i've scanned already, and there's basically nothing. i mean there's a couple things on the arid cliffs. but where are the wet lambert's not being on the shore line? no waiters on the mud flats about a decade after this is built, there is no revisitation, hardly anything has come back. and remember at our us, it's the flood plain of the river that's creating all those wetlands. and because here by design,

there will not be any flooding. you're not going to have that rich soil and all the vegetation that grows on the whole arrows valley will look like this, ecologically dead. every way you go around the world is that fine balance development nature. and of course progress has to be made. what's needed a solutions that benefit both populations and the natural world. china has some reason to feel hopeful and its efforts to win protective status for the iris river wetlands in 2009 with data provided by him and his team. lake future, 70 kilometers north of iris with designated around wetland getting it into national recognition. being a global important i can see 100100 turning. yeah. can i kicked it out? see the cranes yet and there are some ducks in there. these critical lakes are dwindling and going out one by one. so could you because one of the last and most

important lakes in the entire northeast and turkey, which runs status doesn't mean the lake driving direct impact such as draining it for irrigation and hunting. indirect threats remain grounds water extraction through need by wealth is reducing the lake water level and animal still grades read bad. in september 2018. the lake dry dock, completely religious black, dry mud during the season. when it is the most important for birds, there was no water and no birds. the chant say it's a ramps on site and declare victory and walk away. i mean, consolation is a never ending battle, like as long as that place is there, you have to make sure it stays. john is working on a number of fronts, the safe, the lake, and had just signed an agreement protected with a provincial governor. meanwhile,

he struggled to prevent the damn from being built on the iris river wetlands continued just coming here regularly, year after year. reminds me the importance of the work we're doing. and even if i lose, i'll have it on my conscience. all know, i have done my best and i did it just turn my back and diva. it had estimated that around half the world's wetlands disappeared in the past century. project lake and the iris river wet plans have chant champion them, but his global development continues a pace. more wetlands in other parts of the world are going to need a local hero to fight that corner. across the globe, ecosystems are falling victim to human exploitation. one possible way of ensuring that protection is to enshrine thy right to defend themselves in law. and the us in the 1970s, a legal scholar called christopher stone,

proposed that nature should be seen as a living entity with the same legal rights as people edwards, through human representatives, be able to stand up in court and defend itself against threats to its well being since then, the idea has been gaining traction in 2008, ecuador, wrote it into its constitution, become the 1st country to give nate to the legal rights to exist and flourish. and in 2017 new zealand, 3rd largest river, the flank annuity was given legal status after a merry tribe fought for its rights to be preserved. the way forward isn't simple. for the future of conservation may lie in assuring nature has recourse to justice. busy busy busy busy global food production is wasteful and it's training our planet. but pioneers are adapting with new food sources.

jelly fish is delicious with a very light sea food taste and texture seminar, calamari, and innovative production techniques. and i've seen a vertical farm before, but never in a restaurant after say, this is great. earth rise feeding the billions on her jesse iraq. ah, knowledge is here. where ever you? oh, in the world's most populous nation, one in every few women, suff is domestic by one or one east investigates. china's battle grand at hon. one out 0. the world is war me. i'm green lens

ice sheet is melting, which is changing everything from sea levels to the way people live. and now even exposing the remnants of a cold war, paused greenland the melting of the frozen north on al jazeera. ah, so china's growth slows shar play, sparking concern about the world's 2nd largest economy. ah, i'm sammy's a dan. this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up elise in hays. he say a notorious gang is behind the kidnapping of christian missionaries and their family members. at least 24 people are killed in floods and mud slides in the

indian state of carola.
