this is d.w. news live from berlin italy's wait for a new prime minister at just towards an end of the country's populist coalition nominates a little note academic giuseppi come to a meeting a new government could be sworn in as early as this week we'll bring you the latest from rome also on the program washington lays out its tough new line on iraq. progress no more acceptance of missiles landing in riyadh in the golan heights no more cause for expansion or reigning in power secretary of state mike pompei or

went on to say that the u.s. would impose its toughest sanctions yet. russia faces a new doping investigation with less than four weeks until the football world cup german journalists a serious suspicious test results of russian squad members were covered up. time saudi arabia hits the brakes on women's rights the kingdom is due to lift a ban on women driving in just a few weeks ago forces have arrested a prominent activist who campaigned for the change describing them as traitors. i'm phil gale welcome to the program. it's of his populist coalition has nominated a little known law professor with limited political experience to be prime minister . giuseppi contact was jointly proposed by the leaders of the far left and the

establishment five star movement on the far right league during a meeting with president says your maternal matter well and you know what comes eleven weeks after elections left the country with a hung parliament. so let's join because i wanted to band to ring it who's covering this story for us from rome welcome bad so i feel i said that who has just come to what is it about him that means he can unite a far right and i thought a left party behind him. mr country's main feature is he's unknown to the public and he has no put it like political experience so he's divide a compromise between the left leaning the right wing populist league because he would not interfere with their put it to. heckling and mingling so he is a law professor these educated in the united states and france he worked in great

britain so he traveled a lot he's seen the world but italy he's relatively unknown the never held public office. nobody knows exactly why he agreed to take this job he hasn't had a public yet and still he needs confirmation by the president of italy is the middle rela and also the parliament has to vote a vote of confidence is scheduled for the end of the week and our president and parliament is likely to vote for a prime minister with no political experience who will not get involved in politics . the populist kodesh and has a huge majority in the parliament so there's no question that he will get the votes there and also the italian public is supporting this odd couple of legal chink with stella sixty percent of the people behind this coalition says

a recent poll so your mother out of the president has no choice but to agree if he would not then the constitutional crisis would ensue and he would not risk that although he is part of the old establishment he says shows a social democrat. so if we understand your house this correctly it's only is about to choose for as its prime minister an unknown with no background in in politics who will not interfere in the political process and yet he's going to lead a coalition of two extreme opposite. yes he has a hard job that is hands now because he also has to renegotiate with the european union all the contracts and all the treaties that's in the party program in the coalition program he has to find the money. to finance all those social welfare for example the region has promised he also has to prove to push through with the

push back of migrants this is what the league are not ones so here's a here's a lot of things on his plate now and nobody knows if he is able to do that and he needs of course the breaking of both. and. they will be in the cabinet they be ministers there and will of course try to you know to have mr condit as a puppet on a string bearing it in rome thank you so much. united states has pledged to impose the toughest sanctions ever on iran following the u.s. withdrawal from the international nuclear deal earlier this month secretary of state mike pompei of speech was delivered in washington while other g twenty foreign ministers were meeting in buenos aires germany france on the u.k. are fighting to hold the deal together but progress will be difficult with russia and the e.u. also absent from the meeting here's more of my compost speech we will apply unprecedented financial pressure on the iranian regime the leaders in tehran will

have no doubt about our seriousness the iranian regime should know that this is just the beginning. this thing will be painful the regime does not change its course for me unacceptable and unproductive doubt that is chosen to one rejoin league of nations these will indeed end up being the strongest engines in history we are complete w.'s washington bureau chief is alexandros novel welcome on examiner to tell us more about the u.s.'s twelve demands. the twelve demands outlined by my point here did not come as a surprise because although these issues are very important for the trump administration you ass is calling on iran to stop the end which meant of uranium that was actually allowed under strict limitations and the previous nuclear deal is calling on iran to allow nuclear unqualified access to all sides

throughout the country it is calling on the iran through citizens held in the country my computer also said stetson iran must stop its activities in the region in yemen in afghanistan in live and on and that iran has to restore its troops from syria and that is indeed something that. the us is very concerned about and that was not addressed by the previous nuclear iran deal so when you look through this list it does seem to amount to a change of regime i just think us really expect iran to comply or is it hoping that it doesn't. well the u.s. government says that it is the right strategy to convince iran to comply with these demands pointing to their maximum pressure contain against

north korea saying that look it's the success now we're talking about a possible meeting between kim and strum something that was almost impossible to think of only if he go so they are pointing to this success in the case of north korea however we have to say that it's really a different situation right now because they talk about north korea we have to say that in this case the u.s. has the support of its allies that's not the case when it comes to the pull to pulling out of the new chlor deal with iran and we have seen already some reactions from iran iranian officials quoted by the news agency and they are indeed saying at that stage i think that the u.s. is aiming at the run regime change in iran so it's unlikely that iran iran regime is going to comply with the u.s. demands might deliver the speech in washington g.

twenty foreign ministers were meeting in buenos aires should we read anything into his absence from argentina. well we'll we are asked the state department's what was the thinking behind that and the state department official told us. secretary of state sullivan has the full support of mike pompeo to take part in this meeting instead of him and that this meeting crew minds premier plays to force or international cooperation but it is of course very telling that chose to stay in washington d.c. to deliver this speech and it's very telling because it implies that he was not only talking to us allies and iran but also to he still nestico audience alexander from normandy washington thank you. now we do hope to bring you comment

from a senior policy adviser within the u.s. state department and later in the program and we'll cross back to washington when that happens let us turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world facebook boss mark zuckerberg has agreed to allow his upcoming meeting with you know makers to be streamed live online is due to attend a hearing on tuesday to respond to the previously concerns of e.u. parliamentary leaders facebook admitted last month that it had improperly allowed personal data of millions of users to be shared. india has dispatched medical teams to the southern state of cattle after the outbreak of a deadly virus officials say up to six people may have died from the illness known as the nepa virus but no vaccine against cities has a mortality rate of up to seventy five percent. authorities in pakistan urging people to stay indoors as temperatures hit forty four degrees celsius in the southern city of karachi there are fears of widespread heat stroke as people refrain from drinking during the day in observance of the islamic month of ramadan

. washington has joined the international reactions to nicolas maduro the victory in the venezuelan presidential election u.s. vice president mike pence described president maduro as landslide win as a sham of the opposition parties boycotted the vote he also demanded that madonna allow humanitarian aid into the country as the president celebrated winning a second term. for nicolas maduro and his supporters it's a celebration with few surprises another six year term for the venezuelan president who won over two thirds of the vote. here. thank you for overcoming so much aggression so many lies. thanks for joining me in so many battles and thanks for making me president. of victory but a weak one. venezuela's electoral authorities say turnout was forty six percent

with the opposition claiming it was even lower the door of face a few challengers because the main opposition boycotted the election saying it was rigged some of their most popular candidates had been banned from running. we don't recognize this electoral process as valid as having taken place. for us there were no elections no new elections in venezuela need to take place. oil rich venezuela has been in economic meltdown for most of my time in power catastrophic shortages in food medicine and other essentials led to months of street protests last year which resulted in more than one hundred twenty five dead inflation is at fourteen thousand percent. all the while madore has tightened his grip on power by doro says he's defending venezuela from imperialism the election

has been broadly condemned by the international community the us is considering additional sanctions against the state which would likely further damage venezuela's economy. let's have a closer look now academic fallout from venezuela election result the winter that business tax cuts thank you very much a fill than this one was contemplating a bleak future the economy is in freefall as we just heard hyperinflation is so high citizens are literally paying in bags of banknotes venezuelans continue to live in droves not only does the country face intensified unrest home there's also the threat of new sanctions from abroad the opposition is rejecting sunday's vote as a fosse it's called for a boycott with a high abstention right historic fifty two percent opposition officials want a new vote but the duros of course hailing his victory as historic record but what the nation needs is economic reform. after nearly twenty years of socialist rule in

venezuela the once prosperous economy is in tatters massive shortages have left huge swathes of the population struggling to survive hyperinflation at close to thirteen thousand percent has destroyed venezuelan savings and left them unable to afford basic goods. power and water have become luxuries for many in the country with the world's largest known oil reserves spiraling poverty hopelessness and anger at nicolas maduro as government have led to a social implosion protests and file and crackdowns have marked his tenure but as mature old tightens the screws on dissent his government has a silver bullet for the moribund economy to cryptocurrency the petro it's meant as a workaround for the lack of foreign currency but critics call it a scam but that petro success would depend on good faith in the government backing it years of mismanagement and corruption have meant very little of that has been

created leading venezuelans to see little chance of an end to their ordeal. so the big question is venezuela is a rich oil producer why the profits from those exports juicy for the state at the time that the global price of crude has recovered and why those revenues trickling down to the people that the questions that we asked manuel silva farah from the institute for latin american studies the author is because the prices are rising because of the fall of the our production has been a slow and this is far of corruption instability and the failure of the oil industry and the contrary at the time was one of the best and richest industry in the war and today in charge of chobits and in doura as we can see the results of the socialist experiment. economic superpowers china and the

u.s. of a great to hold off imposing new tariffs the temporary deal ends of months of tension for financial markets beijing a green and i joint statement with washington in washington to substantially reduce america's trade deficit with china the crux of the dispute the chinese didn't commit to cutting the gap by any specific amount and some analysts doubt the truce will last long but at least the two sides of talk. oranges from the u.s. could soon be a regular fixture in some chinese supermarkets the asian country has agreed to import more goods that it made in the usa for us president donald trump it's a cause of celebration. china has agreed to buy massive amounts of additional farm agricultural products would be one of the best things to happen to off farmers in many years. on china barriers and terrorists to come down for the first time. president trump has previously criticised china for exporting more goods to the

u.s. than vice versa but now the agreement could begin to reduce america's three hundred seventy five billion trade deficit with the nation yet concrete numbers remain unclear with any substantial amount being mentioned house of seeing it again there was a reason why we didn't put a specific number and i would also say it was the specifics of this business is business number again whatever we agree to these are not government to government purchases we have very specific targets industry by industry is now have to be executed china is also pleased with the deal and with it the avoidance of a difficult trade will. borrow on really believe that the chinese and us governments have reached a good agreement on an outcome acceptable to both sides of course both governments should such agreement. economists believe that the chinese government will now instruct companies to focus more on u.s.

products but the agreement could be bad news figure paean fans especially german automotive and mechanical engineering companies who rely on the chinese market. and while asian markets greeted the news with great relief the opinions vary on the streets of beijing and we should try to be the first in as many fields as possible so china can account for the u.s. . where for those illegal. trade war could harm investors so there shouldn't be one china and the u.s. should work together from the same foundations that you could see we're down but what i think i can buy luxury goods such as cars or watches at lower prices ok. i'll be back with more business later and now phil the darker side of sport indeed tell you thanks very much for talking doping german journalists have revealed evidence suggesting that russian orthorexic covered up doping test results from

footballs in the country's world cup squad the revelations come just weeks before the tournament kicks off in moscow german investigative reporter who was there has previously helped to uncover a state run doping program in russian athletics he now says some footballers in the sports authorities have questions to answer. the russian doping scandal may also extend to the national football team russian officials are suspected of covering up test results making samples disappear which had the potential to implicate footballers some of whom have been selected for the hosts world cup squad german t.v. channel a r d has obtained a list containing player names and code numbers of doping samples the list is based on information from investigators and intelligence gathered from a twenty fourteen raid on the moscow doping control board in that raid the world anti-doping agency water seized samples with atypical test results that had not been investigated further by russian authorities samples from players in the

current world cup squad were among them what we labeled the disappearing positive methodology. which is the labs mechanism by which they falsely reported results a r d says water also obtained a separate database with atypical test results from almost one hundred russian footballers this information was also passed on to fever following a request for comment fever said investigations are under way and they are hoping to report new developments in the coming weeks. he has been speaking with a journalist at the center of these allegations we asked how it was that felt how these latest revelations would impact the world cup just weeks away. we would know in a couple of weeks i guess in the moment it looks like that if i was really investigating at least on. outcome of the results of a doctor base which as been given from of was the broadwater last year in two

thousand and seventeen sixty three cells and samples from different sports nine talk nine thousand of them have been it just suspicious and i guess. almost hundred of them are now under investigation and coming from football so we don't know what would be the outcome what we can say we just talk about presumptive screening which might be doping must not necessarily be doping it cannot also have other reasons but it needs to be. scrutinized that is to be checked. well spain has announced its squad for next month's football world cup the main surprise is the mission a striker. chelsea under is in me as to what is included despite the thirty four year old playing his final game for barcelona on sunday and yes the scene here at his farewell party on friday is weighing up operation links outside of europe but he still deemed good enough for international football scored the winning goal for

spain in the twenty ten world cup final. while spurs that women's football team won the german cup this weekend and are on for a trouble for the men's team it's a very different story they finished third from the bottom of the bones as they get table they visit secondary and kill tonight in the second leg of their play off for a place in the german top flight next term away in last week's first leg gives vosburgh the clear edge. well schooled started stronger devo caribbees goal in the thirteenth minute an early reminder of the gulf in quality. you could tell it took the boys a bit of time to get used to it there was a period of adjustment bamma then we improved and scored a really nice goal passing the ball it from the back and we got the feeling that maybe we were in there the cave system incident. but paul spoke struck again before half time as your typical restored the lead we can from keeper can afford

a home in the second half of the walls doubled their lead through eunice mali and while he'll have the bulk of the chances in the last half hour they couldn't find the net again. as an overall it was an intense game as expected and i think monday's match will be like that to initiate and give you time to plan the result but maybe we can take our chances a bit more in the home leg. overturning a two goal deficit is an uphill task but she verbal monday second leg will certainly look different befalls by going to reno dwarfs keels tiny ground. the whole stone study on is the smallest in germany's top two divisions with a capacity of just eleven thousand the german league initially stated kiel would have to play elsewhere if they got promoted but the decision has since been overturned on appeal. two thousand and twelve was the last time the team from the lower division prevailed back then fortuna dissolute off beat heritable in full three on aggregate. but in kiel fans are optimistic especially those who have got

hijacking the news. where i go wrong the news is being hijacked journalism itself has become a script do reality show. it's not just good versus evil us versus them black and white. in countries like russia china churchy people are told is that and if you're a journalist here and you try to get beyond that you are facing scare tactics intimidation and i wonder is that where we're headed news well. my responsibility as a journalist is to give me on the smoke and mirrors it's not just about being fair and balanced or being neutral it's about being truthful. funny was boring golf and i were good enough. for. every journey begins with the first step and everyone reaches the first word which

can equal the cohesive germany to such. places. why not i'm listening. in simple online on your mobile and tracing. to south. t.w. zealand in course because freak sure made me see. this is d.w. news live from berlin i'm phil gale our top stories at this hour are u.s. secretary of state might pompei or has announced that america will impose its toughest ever sanctions on iran that's after washington and its support for the country's international nuclear deal said the deal put the world at risk. and is the least new populist a coalition has nominates it's just become today to be the country's next prime minister is a political newcomer and a compromise between the anti establishment

a five star movement and the far right league. of horses in saudi arabia have taken a number of prominent women's rights activists into custody the detentions come just weeks before the ultra conservative kingdom is due to lift a ban on female drivers let's show a d.-w. social media desk and tell us more. but welcome liz tell us about the activists who've been arrested. well phil at this moment we don't know exactly how many people were arrested and official government and the reports say it was seven activists but we're also seeing reports on twitter that say that ten people have been detained over the last week what we do know is that all of them were activists who are fighting for women's rights rights that go beyond the rights to drive and we actually have some names that were provided by rights groups they say these are among the women who have been detained by the authorities there so the first one

here her name is now she has been fighting for women's rights and is actually known as the mother of a saudi of feminism we have another one also a very well know when her name is lu jane who also a very prominent campaigner against the driving ban she has been arrested before for trying to drive into the country and then we also have this lady here her name is day. she is here as you can see in an interview with g w she's a psychologist and a feminist who took part in the first protests against the driving ban in nine hundred ninety and all these arrests have been accompanied by watch appears to be an organized smear campaign this is what we're seeing on social media right now so there is a pro-government media outlets that have been branded to that have branded the activists as traitors also posting their photos there now these people have been

arrested are being accused of working together with foreign entities trying to destabilize the kingdom of posing a threat to the security but there aren't really concrete informations that have been given at this point so tell us how the russians are saying. well lots of people are wondering why this move is coming now given that it is only one month until women will officially be allowed to apply for driving licenses and many of course calling for the release of these activists we have some very prominent voices that are calling for that to happen we have for example why and here amnesty international for example they say it is outrageous that these activists are being targeted by smear campaigns then we also have a statement here from kenneth roth he's the executive director of human rights watch and he is just pointing out that it is there's a sharp contrast really between the saudi crown prince mohammed bin feldman touring

the world presenting himself as a reformer while he is at the same time i resting women's rights activists who refuse to accept his tokenism so many really questioning how serious he is with these reforms that he has promised still the show thank you. this is the dubliners life from birth and still to come after the destruction of civil war most ambitious making conservation a new priority i will see how the african countries are breathing new life into one of its biggest national parks. had a better winter as a back with news of an investment drive for africa and that's right the heading to east asia to try and get in the investors eighteen nations are gathering for the start of the african development banks annual meeting today but not actually in africa and third finance development and political big wigs are gathering in south

korea's second largest city but son it just realizing the african continent is at the top of the bank's agenda the african development bank president i can bumi at a siena says getting industry up and running is vital as he puts it the secret of the wealth of nations is clear you should see that and the second developed nations add value to everything they produce while poor nations export raw materials africa must quit being at the bottom of the global chains and move to rapidly industrialize well let's find out about this attempt to rapidly industrialize catherine in wonder is following this for us and she joins us now catherine the meeting is apparently in south korea because it's a great example of rapid industrialization but surely there's more to it than that yes south korea when you look back at the history one thousand nine hundred sixty

had probably the same challenges that african nations did they manage to get out of those challenges so that is one inspiration that african nations seem to use as an example but african business is an african intrapreneur was an african into innovators and now looking at other places for investment looking away from europe and the united states and now africa is looking at china and it hit south korea and looking at you know india as as put potential invents investment partners so what does the bank president mean when he says africa must quit being at the bottom of the global value chain. well it's simply means that africa needs to empower itself now that you know over the last couple of decades it's seen a lot of economic growth but it has been very and sustainable when you look at africa export more products that it does when it did that it does fish products

it's always role products and it imports finished products from outside countries so i actually was you know eluding to the fact that africa needs to come up with policies that protect local businesses that protect those cool imprints internet and local investors as well as far as you know in terms of businesses and empowering them to be able to finish their own product so that we can actually not only export fraud products they're also probably export finished products to the outside market that's right and of course when we talk about g.d.p. talk about adding value yet the g.d.p. per capita in africa is barely one fifth of east asia why is the focus on industrializing through agriculture we've heard that through the annual meetings today wasn't the talk of recent years about leap frogging these levels going straight to the fourth industrial revolution. and it still is the agenda of the fourth industrial revolution is one revolution that african missed

out on in a lot of investors is saying that but then again you look at africa having sixty five percent of the world's arab oil land so i agree culture still remains a great advantage for african countries as you know this is a source of employment for a lot of youth although a lot of youth a look at farming is something that is not worth investing in but it is a source of employment so this is looking into investing in agro industries as well but then also the fourth. industrial revolution does play a big part in agricultural development in the continent because we can use technologies to enhance farming methods to enhance agri businesses as well as run the africa development banks president saying today that our culture is cool and profitable so i give you a clear idea where that strategy is going catherine i wonder thank you very much for following that for us. but phil now on tough talk on iran thanks so much don

and your secretary of state mike pompei was announced that america will impose its toughest ever sanctions on iran as follows washington's withdrawal of its support for the international nuclear deal this month is to pump out of the deal put the world of risk. listen washington bureau chief. who's out the u.s. state department well come out of congress. yes the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo today all demands the you ask hast moving forward but there are still many questions that need an ounce of therefore we are here at the state department joins by bryant who directs policy planning at the u.s. state department at a saying advisor to the u.s. secretary of state thank you for being with us so mr hu could the announcement today and the sanctions do you really believe if that stay can bring about that

change a you expect from iran well it certainly will bring about more change than we've had under the j c.p.o. way since adoption of the iran nuclear deal iran has actually increased its destabilizing behavior across the middle east and it also has not deterred iran's intent to acquire a nuclear weapon and so we're putting in place a new security architecture that we think is going to actually achieve our national security objectives not just for the united states but for the world. however many experts are skeptical saying that you are telling huron to stop being iran and its on the realistic that the iran iranian regime is going to comply with the stand and so are they on realistic well if they want if iran wants to be treated like a normal nation it has to start behaving like a normal nation and this is a still there is no country in the world that sponsors more terrorism than iran and

so much of its terrorism and sectarian violence that it has been fueling across the middle east has occurred during the iran nuclear deal and so we don't think that this is a framework that has achieved the goals that are needed around nonproliferation and also counterterrorism we have already seen some reactions from iran iranian officials saying that that you goal is a regime change in iran so is it your goal no our goal in these of iran is for them to end their nuclear weapons program and their nuclear program which has the intent to become to achieve a nuclear weapon we also want them to stop the terrorism and the violence across the middle east we want them to stop violating the human rights of their own people and these are all reasonable demands so i think that we've become desensitized to a lot of what iran has been doing over these last many decades we've gotten used to it in some ways and we need to change that paradigm we really need to get iran to

join a more civilized sort of community of nations than it has been we've seen over these last many years u.s. secretary of state my company has said today in his speech that the u.s. is would like to continue cooperating with its allies however we have to say that some of these allies including germany would like to save the existing iran nuclear a deal and there is actually a meeting at g twenty foreign ministers meeting taking place in argentina and this . you know taking part in this meeting if this speech today sending maybe a message stats you know the u.s. is ready to move forward with all its consulates talking to its allies you know the secretary has actually already spoken with the foreign ministers in germany france and the united kingdom he'll continue consulting with allies in europe and also in the gulf the middle east other parts of the world this speech today he

asked countries around the world who care about halting the spread of nuclear weapons who care about fighting terrorism to join the united states in this historic effort to promote peace and you come in on the attempts by the europeans and germany trying to salvage to you our iran nuclear deal secretary pompei o said today that the united states has it made its decision to leave the iran nuclear deal other nations who are part of the iran nuclear deal have to make their own decision but the united states has made ours today the secretary presented a very positive vision that was addressed to the iranian people that would give them a brighter future and would certainly help reduce the violence of the terrorism that iran is engaging in through its foreign wars around the middle east brian who is senior adviser sequester states my computer thank you very much. thank you very much w. have washington bureau chief nominee let's take

a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. for us with a yet so sorry to the democratic republic of the congo which is launching on the a bold a say to try to stop a new outbreak of the disease health workers have shipped four thousand doses of the vaccine and more is on its way the first wave of the program we'll talk it health professionals treating patients. burundi's electoral commission says results from last week's referendum show the top. voters approved x. extending the presidential term limit with up to three percent in favor of constitutional amendments change could mean president currency's the state's in office until twenty thirty four opposition groups and activists of challenge the vote saying it took place in a climate of fear and intimidation. for years mozambique was ravaged by civil war and preserving nature was understandably not a top priority for the country's rich in natural resources and boasts

a breathtaking national parks but here national park for example in the country's south is home to extensive wetlands and wildlife a delegation of german scientists is now working with local partners to help protect those national treasures and make it more attractive for international tourists. ranges of the bahai national park and taking a group of scientists from germany on safari. it's a huge grassland park with wetland areas that are paradise. stretching eighty seven thousand square kilometers the park is the home for countless pelicans and of the for which the park is best known the ostrich there the only ostrich is in mozambique. the group has found something else of interest is not to go. this is an elephant corridor. where the

elephants pass through the area they leave their dung behind. these days the park has no large animals of its own lions buffaloes and rhinos were driven away first by the civil war then by poachers or by going or form it's not that poachers need food that's not a problem right now people have enough to eat. they set these traps because they want to make money. so the park has been a protected area for more than forty years there are stiff penalties for coaches but illegal killing of animals remains a problem it disrupts the ecosystem in the reserve ranges document their findings and remove the carcasses. while driving to some of the villages situated inside the park it becomes clear there are other problems these a sacks of charcoal made illegally from wood and confiscated by the ranges. i was crushed when a dutch doctors cut down the trees and destroyed the natural habitat the animals

are forced to flee end up entering the residential areas which leads to new problems the animals' habitat is being destroyed. there are twenty villages in and around the park home to nearly six thousand people many residents can't understand the need for such strict conservation laws. so how can the national park foster better relations with local residents that's the question that interests the great from germany together with the ranges they want to convey the message that the park is keen to support local residents one man's lights the example of another park nearby one shekel feat one at the end of each year the park gives twenty percent of its income to the local community they can then use the money to buy something for the benefit of the entire village. that would be a good model here and help local people to see tourism as an opportunity to earn

money visitors from abroad would also get a taste of the traditional lifestyle of people living in the park. this family profited from the german group and enjoyed the encounter to ok nothing out clearly out of it. but it's all early days yet. it's a drop in the ocean obviously we're not yet teaching people how to preserve their environment. the volunteers are committed to a long term partnership with the national park and the local community they want to know what other activities could interest visitors like wading through wetlands. it's just what we need to preserve this to attract tourists. we'd like to offer something that other reserves don't have so that people say if we want to see that we need to go device you know just so for them to debate it. but unlike times the fahri is one idea the park specializes in small animals here it's not the big
