i can see or hear events in good as far as we can observe, that people is happy to gather in the street in the square after the restriction connected to the panoramic period. and it's nice to have the people and mostly local families with children attending to the carnival st show, which is one of our main events around the town. and also the opening parade that was how that last night. and for this, and i rolling both arrayed this morning, had an interesting participation along the sides of the main waterway advantage, which is the grand canal. we have good participation of the 1st week. and this is called a prologue because he's not really the piece of the carnival. we have the science from reservation. good feedback from public passport. so we are pretty sure that the weather allows the weekend, reach people, danny period levels. ah,

this is al jazeera and these are the top stories. more than 100 people are dead and hundreds of buildings have collapsed after magnitude 7.8. earthquake struck the southeastern region of turkey. tremors reportedly lasted about a minute and were felt in northern syria and lebanon as well. said him cuz ola has more from istanbul. all rescue teams have been mobilized then to kia, has increased its alert level to 4, which means now 2 years seeking for international assistance for the rescue work. as, as the earthquake a has hit at 10 cities in the area in a center here. and the damage is expected to be big and, and the number of people who are in need of assistance is much bigger than any other earthquake. the battle for control of the eastern ukrainian city of buckman is intensifying just weeks before the 1st anniversary of the russian invasion, ukraine's president followed them as a lensky says he expects

a major offensive from moscow in the coming weeks. it comes as reports from keep suggest ukraine's defense minister is set to be replaced by the head of military intelligence. a group of prominent pro democracy figures has gone to court in hong kong and the largest ever trial under the territories, controversial national security law. the defendants are legislators, politicians, activists, and community workers who were arrested 2 years ago and charged with conspiracy to commit subversion. the charges are linked to their participation in an unofficial primary election held in 20. 20 votes are now being encountered in ecuador is constitutional referendum and local elections. the referendum was proposed by president lasso to battle a crime wave and address environmental issues. the opposition led by former socialist president, rafael korea has been urging voters to reject the proposed reforms. china has warned the u. s. of serious repercussions and says it violated international practice when it shot down a suspected surveillance balloon off the coast of south carolina. the u. s,

as china was using the balloon to spy those of the headlines. the news continues here on al jazeera after earth rise. thanks for watching. bye for now. ah . sustainable food production is one of the greatest challenges for the future. with global demand for food set to increased by nearly 70 percent by 2015 agriculture is one of the most polluting and ecologically damaging industries if we want to keep food on the table without continuing to ravage our natural

environment, we need to completely rethink how our food industries work. i'm russell bid and finland were one restaurant is championing a hyper local circular economy. to create a revolutionary approach to dining, i must look for a new entity. why scientists combating jellyfish blooms by taking them out of the sea and on to okay. and developed countries like finland is hard to imagine that we are in the thick of a global food crisis. these helsinki shelves, us back to the hilt with a wide variety of tasty treat bear salami. oh, but what's the true cost of all is choice to are increasingly beleaguered planet reindeer spring roll. global foot system is incredibly wasteful. we use huge amounts of energy, water, and land to grow food and flight thousands of miles around the world. we for much

of it to remain, anita, and it's incredibly inefficient and balanced operation. audible post. i don't know if my pronunciation is quite right. one more time. corporal coast. okay, so you've been having a dig around to see if we can get some statistics about the amount of food that is wasted. so she mentioned this pooler. bread is total food produced in the world. lost 10 percent during cultivation, 7 percent is lost after the harvest. 12 percent which is lost during processing or point of sale. and another 11 percent is lost after has been purchased. i means in total, over a 3rd in the food will produce, wade is wasted. just thrown away. last as something shocking to me. a growing movement of pioneers are taking steps to fix this global problem. this is ultima. a 5 star restaurant aims to be the model of sustainability. all the

ingredients are local and all the processes are designed to do is little damage to the planet as possible. eliminating all the polluting effects of industrial agriculture is the brainchild of chef henry allen. for the uninitiated, can you explain a little bit about what ultima is and why, why you set it up? it's all started when me and my colleague tom, me. we were taking the bins out and we were thinking like, how can i mean we make this much waste? how could we do with the things better for the environment for the customer? and that is our biggest ambition. one way to do that is by going hyper local. in other words, by growing ingredients right here in the restaurant, i've seen a farm before, but never in a restaurant. i have to say this is great. the main thing about the system it's a hydroponic water circulates from up here. the plant takes always the water,

all it from the rules, okay? it's a 95 percent less water than their conventional forming. the best thing for me in this idea is that are, we can cut the fresh herbs just before the service of her every day. there is minimum waste or no terrorist. it its various ways and from the seat to fully grown in the system one wake totally organic or no 1st decides no fertilizers, nothing. ultima is based on the principles of circular economics where waste is seen as a resource. this approach minimizes the need for transport, water and energy, and even farms, livestock on site, edible carbon neutral crickets. hello and the lights, yes. you know, are they? i think her case in the light pull to my server over 1000 crickets each week in their 5 star dishes with cricket larvae growing into fully grown adults within 2

months. this is the bigger home. oh hello. yes. oh crickets. so can you give us a sense of how these little crate earth fit into this notion of a circular economy? we can use all the stems of the sellers or the pills of a cucumber if we are feed them one way with base a lives where they will taste more. what basil now and that where we don't have to throw anything away cuz they eat almost anything. henry's mission is fundamentally about changing our attitude to the food that we eat and preparing us for a future where it meets like beef may not be so readily available. 100 gram, offer crickets. it's a 22 grams of pure protein. take 99 percent less water and growing of bees. ah, so their carbon footprint is it's like nothing. henry is also trialing

a protein rich. now again, the idea is a so innovative, they're being seen as the future of food production on this world. and beyond. this is cost of this is also the one thing that nasa is interested about. nasa, the space agency. yeah. wireless. it's a potato. some space st. pertains. yeah, it's called air upon it. so if the growth in the air hello. yeah. now that is something you don't see every day that it is wet. yes, it is in the air, but it is still kept moist. yes. right. but this where you don't really need. ah, and he saw the benefits of all businesses that can produce 10 times more potatoes than a traditional way. so this is, this is for real for you guys. this is not just a kind of a marketing stuff. we don't have to be millionaires. we, when just need to, you know, rove things forward, make people think we're talking about, you know,

for security to certification, climate change, big issues, they really care about the stuff. and i'm on board and i'm going have seen football later on henry's invitation, i'll be cooking dinner here for 1st i travel just one hour down the road to see if these principles of circular economics can work on a much larger industrial scale. it's always a way, but so let's take the scooters. griffith farm and on skill is exactly. no. all right. do you need a license for these is their breaks here at robbie's farm. actor turns pharma. robert jordan also has a vertical fun. but this one is on another level. oh man. oh, oh, lisa jacket, the different season, in se, disney, though, it's like a herb safari, what we got means, vassal again, some coriander. i'd expected you to have a kind of

a glass as well. so this is entirely electric ellie de la, if no, no sunlight used at home, the console to wire men create a more efficient growth. and a much higher yield is a much waste from an operation like this. we grow in a, in a biodegradable pot. so we have no plastics inside the bone growth area anymore. everything is fi. degradable. robert's goal is to prove that these hypoth sustainable techniques could one day be rolled out in every city and town in the world. transporting this leaves sundays, pete, and is around the world, is not that clever. it should always be produced locally and consumed growth locally. well, i love that rather than taking the food to the plate, you're taking a farm to, to the, to the color opposed to delay of your i'm pill. yeah. yeah. you can see that they're constantly working on improving the efficiency of the whole operation. even

this isn't truly waste because it's going to get composted and used on the farm that say there reconceptualize thing, the concept of waste, of my way back to ultima henry's asked me to pick up some supplies for tonight's dinner service 1st. and i wonder if i've come to the right place this time i, are you doing what you do now? here? we're growing mushrooms. we're growing oyster mushrooms on coffee wished which people are crazy about mushrooms and they drink a lot of coffee. is it an absolute giant black death? that is an absolute perfect space. these are, these are ready to harvest. there will be harvest today. actually. we don't want to hold you up. we'd love to give you a hand. chris is team collect, use coffee groans from businesses. great across helsinki, the grounds provide all the nutrients, mushrooms need to explode into light. oh my, i like that i, that is amazing. and you can just grab the whole cluster and then twist it until it

comes off. like there you go. that financing, eating. we have the consumer products are we call it a healthy, any grow kit. and basically, you see it's the same as we have in our farm, but this is so that people can grow it at home. if you're a normal coffee drinker, you can, you can make do with your own coffee grounds. i can imagine being quite magical to watch these incredible kind of creatures emerging. yeah. here in finland, there's now quite active community of, of home growers. encouraging consumers to grow food at home is the kind of strategy that will reduce our dependence on industrial agriculture. chris's team of sold $3000.00 of their kits and even run workshops to teach people how to grow fantastic funding. all right, so we've done a harvesting. we've got our mushrooms back the restaurant going to pick them up.

so was to her, ready to go. i ready to poop, tom, you can take the cricket with oh my god, what have you done? we've got this salad, greens, and herbs which are going over there. yeah. we got the crickets which grown up there and the mushrooms, which about half hour away. yeah. so i'm so 30 local, it's about lucas. i can get, you know, i mean, i'm going to fish out one of these little guys. yeah. i can take the prickly little legs. if i tell you what, i think it's super. so christie gets a really nice protein. great. yeah, yeah. really like you might hear so much with it. these ideas can go mainstream is what they want, whether it's the circular economy or the hyper local production,

or just general transparency of the operation could start to see a google precision that is in the world. and would you imo inside synopsis? the world's growing demand for food is pushing ever increasing pressure on natural resources. the waste campaign is believe our environment may be close to breaking points. food is the single biggest impact that humans have on nature. we are deforest, india, to grow more food, is by far the biggest user fresh water, the single biggest source of carbon dioxide emissions. and the biggest reason why we're in the middle of the mass species extinction about the sick. that planet earth has faced least a 3rd of the world's food is currently being wasted. we're talking about ugly fruit and vegetables on farms being wasted because they don't comply with cosmetic standards. we're talking about huge heaving shopping aisles,

the food which is just gonna end up in the supermarket bins. and the reason why they're there is because the supermarkets know that's what triggers are response of taking and filling our basket. even though week after week, on average, people are wasting 20 percent of the groceries that they're buying in those stores . it's a system with entrenched waste with m it, we do have the powers individuals to waste less shift away from most ecological destructive practices. that should give us hope that we can flip this enormous problem into one of the most delicious tools to tackle environmental milner. ah, with over 7500 calamities of coast time, italy has relied on the bounty of the sea for thousands of years. but hidden

beneath the zeal voted, an environmental catastrophe may be underway. i'm a sinner for india and i finish shaft and food right for nearly a italian cuisine is one of my passions. when i heard it's these fishing horses were under threat. i just have to investigate. i'm here in southern italy. we're italians are facing a rather stinging problem. jellyfish numbers are at by 400 percent in the last 13 years loan with a tentacle terrace swamping the coastline and damaging the delicate marine ecosystem. but sometimes one problem can solve another i've come to let j to find out how jellyfish could help alleviate the impending food crisis by becoming an ingredient in the italian kitchen. first though, i've met with marine biologist, doctor stephanie frayjana who is researching the rise and jellyfish numbers. there

is a scientific evidence that there are some increase. it is particularly in causal arial, subject to anthropogenic impact. so human impacts on the, on the costa, my producer, an announcement of the frequency, and it wound us from jellyfish. dr. stephanie, i was referred to the jess jellyfish. numbers are booming. due to a variety of manmade factors, artificial waterways like this. so as canal which connects the red sea to the mediterranean are transporting new jellyfish. species here in climate change is enabling these newcomers to survive with some of the temperatures in the med rising by 1.15 degrees c in the last 3 decades. how bad is the problem? stephanie ecological impacts of jellyfish is sir equivalent to 2 lions from the salon. now they are top per the doors. so they kind of have an impact on the functioning of the marina ecosystem some cases. so we have larger la fisher wish

loom, so to reach down with his life up to $300.00 or, or $400.00 pounds per square meters along the coastline. so this would affect her particularly human activities, like her swimmy on the, along the call, sor fishery and even aquaculture plants may be affected because in some cases of animals, china fish can kill 100 thousands of fish. in a few days, these blooms are hitting local fishing industries. hard is estimated that in the north adriatic they cost the italian fishing fleet, $8500000.00 euros a year. stephanie sent me north to the aquarium of january to discover how the creatures unique reproductive process is really compounding the problem. the baby family neville, the maybe deadly fish curator, soviet lover on. nor is breeding thousands of jellyfish. this little she doesn't

know about these potent pulsing creatures. why are the jellyfish so efficient reproducing? they are doing that, that the release, they're a huge, a quantity of sperm and egg. they fertilize in this. therefore we have a lengthy of love them all these tango on the bottom of the c, e 3 on the bottom and became a poly each ball. if the relieved after division a very big number of done the fish live in the rural martha apparently in the fi deliveries are so prolific, it breeding to single adult can lay up to 45000 eggs a day. these ancient invertebrates have existed since before the dinosaurs and they inhabit every ocean on earth. jellyfish swarms have decimated irish salmon, fisheries, and hit the tourist industry of australia, but one beat saw 13000 bathers get stung in a single week. but back and let j,

i've heard that a research project is close to a breakthrough. it's called go jelly. this is our latham internally, ernie and her colleagues aim to show food, say to authorities. that jellyfish are a safe, plentiful food source. but surfing poisonous jellyfish makes me a little nervous. are they all safe to eat? no, no. we're with the star the. it just feels this some because the each is fair with good a the different docs that compound the each jellyfish you will measure. yes, that we measure and the way that that doctor, we brought up in the liquid, the nitro. john? yeah. in order to extract defense, then on that is them jellyfish that could be let out for a yeoman and jellyfish that are really say, dr. antoinette less research shows that most mediterranean jellyfish are perfectly safe to eat with just

a small number needing toxins or moved through freezing or simply by washing. it's giving me hope that this could be a genuine food for the future. what if it as a talent is that you faith in the europa, a jellyfish is considered an nice in a day, not andra. this could be change on the eve, but our star is the most thread. that though they are a very power, fuller, or a source of food, them could be important for a local fisherman, la loca la restaurants, or for loca la economy am. if jellyfish me goes mainstream here, it could help re balance marine ecosystems and rated had in waters of this gelatinous manner. and with 80 percent protein and just 5 percent fat. it could also become a highly prized alternative to me. a calming livestock is

responsible for up to 14.5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. so eating jelly fish as a subs could help reduce the very global warming the causes that lives that already popular in back to the far east. but right now they can't legally be sold as food anywhere in europe. so and to know that has provided some jelly fish and sent me to go jellies, collaborating, share, fabiani, viva. oh, do you, can we cook with the database? okay. well now comment daniel adela? yeah, yeah, this is 2 different spaces. all jelly fish. there's brawl is buyer for 2. it's a roll o night bouts. there's only cold treat the most tend to television for

piano aims to cook it slowly. but 1st we wash it in an ice by placing heading to ensure it doesn't lose the taste of the c pepe. i know. avoid all seasoning or folds. no pepper, only oil. okay. so we're cooking the soviet, which is in the water. why did you decide to work with go jelly? are you able to put your didn't all go. like i said langley? exactly in. oh yeah. when the jellyfish comes out and the so v, it's finished off in the oven, the piano her has the vision for the future. and for me, that his truly truly exciting, fusing traditional italian cooking with striking martin ingredients for piano plans to serve the jellyfish with spears of campanari gin and parsley on the bed of italian leaves. we have it is. it looks like a jewel is time for me to taste for pianos creation and the go. jenny team has

joined us to see the results for themselves. scarce, truly magnificent, your life. i love it. i don't like it. lovely. i love it. de la, feel that it really a fabulous jelly fish is delicious with a very light sea food taste and a texture similar to calamari, but a jellyfish. okay, to make it on to dinner plates across the world. the public will have to fall in love with it. you would have to try it is try. so what the team is called the you can find the some of the things that people are looking now saw no fat that low calories and also a good paste the saw you had all the ingredients. apollo before to be appreciated by the cast. ah, i feel privileged to try deli face. this has given me

a taste of what the future might hold. if we all get on board and fry that new food, then we might have a time of repressing the damage that we have done to our own food pioneers around the world, a planning the diets of the future globally over a quarter of ice free land is used for grazing animals causing enormous habitat damage. but a californian company may have a solution. the impossible burger. aside based meat substitute that looks and tastes just like the real thing. meanwhile, in israel scientists, a farming mediterranean fruit flies as a source of protein using 99 percent left land and omitting just 170th

of the greenhouse gases, generated when raising regular life, stock, and in new zealand produce. so making insects more palatable to western tastes by coating them and chocolates. time is running out to halt the food industry's environmental destruction. the challenge for us all is wherever possible to eat with a planet in mines, and to choose our menus widely to help prevent the decline of our natural world. bottles in cameron's rivers come on england. st. plastic is everywhere. but it's lawful as can be fishing boats and

bubble gum. wellington boots, what little can be done with this plague of polymers? earth ry, reimagining plastic. on al jazeera, we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter how you take it out, 0 will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you count his arrow ah contrasts are increasing, quasi raving plants are at the moment. looks fine and the stormy still wintry weather is of the eastern mediterranean. the difference is really quite obvious. first of all, we'll deal with a wintry stuff rather be mornings out in grease cause the drop in temperature,

but that will be largely sunny picture with less snowball time. get to monday still so shout the island over the mainland. a turkey, a lot of snow still to come and that's bank. your boards already fallen anything up to half for me to easily fell. possibly more than that. then by the time we get and the monday on the higher ground. and then through the east and mad it's wind and rain for cyprus, for lebanon. all right, dan. well beyond their patterson, northern egypt. and that's good to stay there is going to get colder and wetter. i think. now the contrast, well look further sat is suddenly breezes picking up, picking up some sand with it. so there will be sandstone potential in parts of saudi and maybe southern iraq about how we get to choose to attempt to the reason to though husker forecast of 30 haven't seen that weeks if not months and jerusalem's 5 in the wind and the rain throughout equitorial africa are very few showers left now really north of tanza, near botswana is now dry, but there may be a surprisingly is getting quite wet. ah,

but there is no channel to cover it. well, like we do this campus like nothing ever what we want to know how to do things people we, we visit me day even when they're no international headline. how does your really invest in that and as prevalent as a journalist? ah. ready ah, until mccrae, this is al jazeera live from door ha with breaking news coverage coming up. hundreds are feared did after.
