they have worms, potatoes don't grow properly. these products are essential. this is why farmers angry or dividend present got up a roger boxer says that change is needed to reduce the health risks paused by agricultural chemicals he got, it will on the car rather than seeking political mileage, every one should get together and do this for our country for our future generations, we can do this in a short time. it won't take 10 or 15 years. many scientists, agricultural experts and successful organic farmers like co do lay jive, they said disagree. he says it's taken him 12 years to turn around this green batch . when i say a good way, i want got only one gun. one will have destroying something, can be done quickly, but reviving it has to be done systematically and in a very organized way. that's why i say the government could get farmers more involved, give them incentives, seek their views, and consult others in green, agricultural gunning. that would have been more successful like our attempts to secure organic fertilizer have run into

well, it's pretty significant, it's not unexpected. this has been being reported on over the past couple years that they were thinking about this. but the timing is something to bear in mind here. facebook has never apps been un under as much scrutiny as it is now with these internal documents showing allegedly that they put profit over the dangers of misinformation. but if you listen to night watch the mock zak a burg presentation. this is all about embracing new technology and launching new platforms and investing billions of dollars into oculus and all these other types of technology that aren't even here yet. but i think it is significant that facebook is now changing. it's brand name to matter because many companies have got in trouble in the past few decades of done very similar things because facebook has become associated with mistrust with privacy leaks and with spreading

misinformation. and certainly if you watch that hearing in congress from face to face, but whistleblower, some of that material was very shocking considering it was facebook's own internal investigations that were being revealed in that case. so i think from zach about point of view, this is them looking at the next chapter in technology and connecting people. but i think at the back of his mind is also at trying to distance himself from the facebook brand. okay, thank you. anti gallagher reporting from miami, the carpathian mountains and romania are known as the lungs of europe at that vidal oregon is at risk. pristine forest which sucks up much of the continent. c. o. 2 emissions faces a growing threat from illegal logging. nick like reports all term carpets, the hill sites, the multi hued canopy marking the seasonal change of millennia. ancient original forest sweeping across the copay, the mountains in eastern europe. if the amazon rain forest is the lungs of the

world than the forest of the copay, the mountains are the lungs of europe. they suck the c o 2 out of the atmosphere and put oxygen back into it. they regulate the water system. there's a vast, vast array of life here. in fact, the forests of the world are the most bio diverse ecosystems on the planet barton. this one's pristine environment. life is being squeezed out by the so called him, but mafia trees are being extracted illegally on an unprecedented scale by criminal gangs, and the locals who fight against it. pay the price. beatings are frequent, but people murdered to 6 forest rangers, have been killed in the last few years, leading to recent protests in the capital, bucharest. o forest and hoary a petras mimics the cold of a red stag. he tells me they used to be 50 or 60 in this area alone. and this is

why this area was a legally log 10 years ago, and it ripped apart the ecosystem. but you can see the scandals near her station from them or on the satellite. there is a maps you can see everything's, it's impossible to believe that they didn't know they know and they, they encourage and they took a lot of money. honda says it's clear who's to blame the politicians. we spoke to the government and they told us combating illegal logging is one of the priorities of romania. it's a continuous action and we've already seen results for the people who live in the mountains. it's terrible. i don't, i for them, for the, than the rental center that for hundreds of years we have mentors the forest in a sustainable way. we take a small amount of wood for building and fire. it's very annoying that strangers come here from other countries and take away our way of life. i'm frightened of the people who steal to what is i feel my family is in danger, because this is

a mob like organization then in the scale of losses. staggering, romania loses up to 9 hector's, a forest per hour to illegal logging. that contributes to the huge amount of forest loss globally. in fact, between 199-2016, the world lost 1300000 square kilometers of forest, an area larger than south africa. and in 2020 tropical forest loss around the world equal the size of the netherlands. since humans started cutting down forests, 46 percent of trees have been felled. around the world, 2020 was meant to be a landmark year in the fight against deforestation. a year by which many countries have pledged to have or completely stop for us loss. but in fact, the plundering has increased here in romania. it's not too late yet. but if not now, when nick clark al jazeera copay, the mountains romania tell us cavalier us and there is an expert at the u. anesco

world heritage center. he says the research into protected forests had positive and negative findings. we did this a very 1st analysis in which we were able to quantify the amount of carbon that is absorbed and released from heritage forests. and we were kind of surprised both positively and negatively. of the results we found out that indeed will hurt the forests or a large carbon sink absorbing $190000000.00 tons of c o 2 per year. that's more or less at half of the case, annual emissions for fossil fuels. but also, unfortunately that 10 will heritage for us have a emit the more carbon then captured. and the reasons i'll say are many lenders, pressures,

but also climate change. actually what stroke us more in this study was and the impacts of climate related events. for instance, the wildfires and we have seen unprecedented wildfires over the past few years, which for instance working why fi really more c o 2 emissions than a country per year. and, and this is a quite a lot of me because it's a vicious cycle. as you have more higher temperatures, this means more wildfires, more workers, more su, 2 emissions and then more c o 2 emissions again, higher temperatures. so it's a vicious cycle that can be very dangerous. russia's capital has shut down for 11 days as the country deals with the record number of new covered 1900 cases and

wally shake, and them aqua community. they say the cemetery and the 18 hector's surrounding it are part of their heritage. their roots in south africa, the apartheid government stole them a cou, a land when shake was 6 years old. you're destroyed them, you know, coming, coming from all the colonial person and coming in, drew about. it was just unbelievable. 16 years ago the land claims commission declared them a qu, up were the rightful owners, but that ruling has had little effect because of homeowner opposition. a refusal to relocate a lack of government compensation for relocation and not enough money to develop the area. a 3 hour drive away. people living in this impoverished rural area also prevailed in their land claim case. they were forced out of what is now shlou way

info. lucy park more than a decade ago. they agreed to collaborate with park officials. given that it's a protected area, as was on his class, will not a wish was to be able to take part in running and developing the bulk of this. we didn't want to take back to land that would not have benefited us. we wanted the park to employ young people in the community earlier this year, amid escalating anger about the lack of jobs vandals set on fire and cut down one kilometer of the park. smart fence because of the challenges and the conditions they find themselves. and that what teens and the specious that, you know, i saw some communities in which we are working on, which we have communities looking on to make sure the lesson good. this park offers hundreds of temporary seasonal jobs to unskilled workers. each year the community wants full time employment park officials say they have financial constraints.

instead, they want to facilitate economic growth by encouraging other government agencies, non profit organizations, and the private sector to partner with and invest in the community. when the land claims restitution act was passed in 1994, it was supposed to offer hope and justice to the displaced more than 80000 claims have been deemed settled. but more than 26000 remain unresolved. it's unclear how many people have actually re settled on reclaimed land with shakes, suspects tenants on the mc who are property or stalling in the hopes. the remaining elders who live through the trauma will give up. he says he'll die fighting to reclaim their stolen land. natasha name al jazeera conseula natal province, south africa. the university of aberdeen and scotland is returning one of the

benign bronzes on thursday. the bronzes or some of africa's most significant artifacts, but were looted by colonial troops in the 19th century and taken to europe. while it's not just this one that's being returned on wednesday, the french president took part in a handover ceremony for $26.00 artifacts that were taken in 18. 92 says of these works will return home. they'll find the men and women who will be able to understand the full power behind these works. these works will return to territories that they left so long ago and there recover all their meaning. there were cambridge university also returned one of the statues to nigeria on wednesday, and germany has agreed to start handing back it's collections. next year. dan hicks is a professor of contemporary archaeology at the university of oxford. he says the objects taken in order to remove african sovereignty and destroy traditional religion.

i think it's really interesting how the restitution i to bait you know, is in the other news at the moment of my seeing real progress being made. i think 1st off is important to say though, that the restitution movement is a long stem, the african lead movement. so the 1st items were returned in the case of the been in attack. you know, of the 89 says as early as 1938 to the over at the time. and it's only quite recently in the 196 isn't 7, says that there were attempts by the european nations to introduce laws and to start to promulgate miss this, that argued against actually the return of these items. so now i think if we take the case of the ben in bronzes, we're coming up to the 100 and 25th anniversary of beth's attack in 1997 next year . you know, and that has really focused the minds for the museums, but also it has been the formation of the legacy restoration trust. you know,

which is an i, jerry and lead agency that's able to brings together reach it each of the parties, each of the voices within nigeria. so that includes the world court is includes the are the governor is includes important be the nation states. so that, that argument can be put on the demands are able to be made as though we're seeing objects returning now, which is great. solar had on the altos earnings abra, we'll have more on barcelona, who have sacked. their head coach, got him more coming up in just a moment with sarah and sports. ah .
