2:36 am
we can do it alone. forty years after the islamic revolution iran remains isolated the u.s. sanctions are weighing heavily on the economy but most iranians blame their own government for squandering huge sums on military conflicts in yemen and syria. discontent is growing as is the pressure for iranians to be creative to make ends meet. as adults besought also has a new business idea he meets a friend in the city center they plan to import coffee beans from turkey that roast package and sell the product in your. ron initially somebody must suffer when you are the one of others who want to produce for the domestic markers what about in the long term we want to export coffee to armenia georgia azerbaijan and iraq avoids all the talk here. but the value of iran's real continues to fall making it
2:37 am
unlikely that assad's latest business idea will succeed it seems so have no choice but to follow in his brother's footsteps who has been living abroad for years. the next she ate meat on the road they says he becomes homesick as soon as he sees a map of iran he misses his homeland living abroad isn't easy for him it would probably be the same for me but i have to think about my future and i'm responsible for my child. to my chief of the. forty years after the revolution many iranians don't believe in a future and the islamic republic people like best saad his wife bihari and their sunday alco the young family now wants to try its luck elsewhere. depleting our planet's resources at a startling rate since nine hundred seventy the amount of real materials extracted has tripled in two thousand and seventeen it was ninety two billion tons
2:38 am
a year over the next forty years that's set to double to one hundred ninety billion tons large stretches of land have already become does it and in many areas the water and soil have become toxic poisoning those who live there. looking at these children you have no idea how much poison is hidden inside them. the director of sorrow the pasco elementary school says the first signs are learning and concentration deficit's. do this by using our. blood often comes out of their nose when they sneeze they can't pay attention for long that's all i'm . sure it's to do with the lead in their blood i think of us and the assange in. the elementary school is located right next to a place that dominates the town of sara the pasco gigantic open pit mine in the central andes. zinc silver and leather extract to tear for the world market. the
2:39 am
owner is british with commodities giant glencore recently bought the mine for several hundred million dollars price that locals pay with their health is undoubtedly higher. serotta pasco is an elevation of four thousand three hundred meters anyone who lives here consumes heavy metals through the top water for their whole lives. moments when it comes time to lead makes us tired it affects our children most of all. mental illness. they've i had stomach aches and headaches avis english do you feel well if i ask my children to solve a problem they get tired so quickly and yet looking. next door the health center displays a lead campaign poster anyone can go here to get tested for heavy metals. doesn't tell us the cells to live. and we see rays levels of all heavy metals lead
2:40 am
cadmium potassium and mercury. every resident is well above the limits set by the world health organization. looked into. proving and journalists have documented the worst cases. children with four times the safe level of lead to use wheelchairs. scars left by surgeries. on the mountains that said there is a one cent. the meter thick layer of toxic particles due to a nearby metal smelter. the chimney and the town of love royal mint sulphur dioxide lead and arsenic into the air but less than it used to says yonder a few years ago production was
2:41 am
a lot higher. but i will say that for us it was normal. we've always lived here we never left. we thought it looked like this everywhere. the consequences of air pollution continue to haunt the inhabitants many have chronic diseases also four times the permitted level of lead in their blood. together with fellow activists like your lander has fought for better environmental standards mostly without success. then first we were called traitors. that never bothered me because we also had supporters like you along. your church and overseas organizations helped us. after thirty years the peruvian state finally recognize that we were being poisoned
2:42 am
and that we were being made sick. the smelter of law roy has scaled back its outpost but it has not been shut down completely. the area is still suffering the effects of heavy metals the future of the smelter is a sensitive issue in lower oil. some want to reactivate the aging complex ultimately there are jobs depending on us this is the kind of question that can divide families. discuss the if you need to look for a balance of course which we'll go obviously the smelter needs a better filters so pollution can decline. antoninus you don't see that in this world light oh yes i know they do this thing i worry about most is the health of my children yet he could even argue with my husband about this just like him i also worked in the mine but i want the operators to be more responsible than.
2:43 am
one person who has always stood by the victims is pedro barreto a cardinal who comes from the region over the years he has seen how many deaths have been caused by the ruthless exploitation of mineral resources often by foreign commodity companies. militia and must think really the media. is not against the mining industry. but we do not support and irresponsible form of mining six where peru as a state allows foreign firms to reap enormous profits while at the same time our people and the environment suffer such devastating consequences that aside just one thought of that all throughout. the mining company glencore did not respond to our requests for an interview nor did the proving government the state is profiting from the wealth buried under the earth as do the commodity companies it's the local people who pay the price. the city will still be does feel forgotten
2:44 am
speak up at least compared to other cities we've given a lot to her room and our government with this you got it but we've been given nothing in return we're in a worse position than other cities. even if you see the stuff they always get you what their suv got in. a place called in the choke hold of global greed for raw materials where excavators devour the earth and poisons run through people's veins . for almost seventy years the communist party. he has ruled china with an iron fist political dissent can be downright dangerous the government has promised prosperity to its one point four billion citizens the state is in charge of economic growth and job creation luxury goods are produced and imported for an ever expanding
2:45 am
middle class but the rewards come at a high price the judiciary is subject to state ideology and the internet is censored and in china's megacities intensive alians is part of everyday life as it is for many schoolchildren too. when sixteen year old mongering young goes to get lunch at school she just has to show her face to get a serving of pork with eggs and vegetables facial recognition technology can tell which dish the students ordered in advance the price is deducted automatically from their lunch accounts previously everyone had to produce a card it's still possible to pay like that but it's easy to forget all mislay cards. in young finds a new way of paying more convenient. zero have already use the system many times it's easier you know there used to be long lines because everyone had to use
2:46 am
their cards now the kitchen staff don't have to press any more keys when i go home owning a child had a death teachers say the system is also healthier a report shows when somebody has only been eating hot dogs or hamburgers rather than vegetables the engine is how you hold an after each order the data is collected after a certain time we can draw some conclusions and parents also receive the information that so we can see how much protein carbohydrates and fried food and the children are eating each month about rio to other cities should watch out for that monitoring checking and analyzing high school number eleven in city of hang joe is more than a century old it just. already received much nationwide recognition for its achievements and its still trailblazing. principal shankland chow is aiming to create a smart school of the future. when you consider this yeah we considered how we could use technology to make the lives of our students here more pleasant and help
2:47 am
teachers improve their efficiency then we thought about a more comprehensive use of big data the international and artificial intelligence . the school says or the day trip gathers is harnessed exclusively for internal purposes students can also use the facial recognition technology to borrow a library books at any time of the day. we collect the data so we know who borrowed which books and how many that allows us to purchase folks that are better suited to the interests of the students when it is usually just had on the show that in the college that is in this is. munging young has got used to the cameras now or years ago surveys are for on the one hand i feel that i'm under surveillance to some extent. but it also helps us to learn which is our top priority. over all the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and if on when they are. the school is bristling with c.c.t.v.
2:48 am
cameras with facial recognition technology this monitor shows where the boarding school students have returned to their rooms punctually. the school says the technology is aimed at optimizing the student's achievements by identifying each people strengths deficits and interests smart cameras in the classrooms were intended to analyze facial expressions to show where the students were concentrated bought or happy but they've been turned off some parents and even state media thought the system raise too many ethical issues the school authorities are examining those concerns but the principal is keen to turn the cameras back on soon and go even further so that if they don't want to. artificial intelligence can monitor eye movements brain waves facial expressions concentration and behavior or me or you know we are to his word bloody do we need all this technology in our school we have to see how it can help us then we can introduce the relevant technology to our campus. very little goes unnoticed at high school number eleven
2:49 am
at the entrance there's also facial recognition technology after school begins the main gate is locked then everyone has to pass through here that's bad news for late risers all teachers get smart phone messages telling them who is late. come batting repression and inspiring others on d.w. women on need face that channel you'll find stories about women who are fighting for equality and self-determination. d.w. women gives a voice to the women of our world. this weekend we look at a plant native to the rain forests of central america. is a climbing plant and its fruit. has become a popular ingredient in cooking around the world. traveled to western mexico

she met farmers who are working hard to restore biodiversity. means fertile mountain. bombers have been here for centuries. the residents here have always relied on not go culture to make a living. also means diversity. and pepper giant pumpkins and many other crops grow here year round. this diversity is important for the. indigenous people living here. is a coordinator for the mexican environmental foundation. despite
2:51 am
a diversity is part of the total culture that includes vanilla even though the. vanilla originated in this region it's a very sensitive plant which only grows in an ecologically rich environment. they've been through i meant that i guess want or need to go they both got the book a while out on us it's like frogs and beings. provides clues about how healthy a habitat is. whenever i'm outside in nature like here and i see frogs and know todd polls that i know that humans have intervened and used a lot of chemicals. which are going to build them and that's increasingly the case in this region mainly due to monocultures and the increasing use of fertilizer and pesticides and cattle farmers are clearing more and more forested areas.
2:52 am
after recognising the problem the mexican government launched a program to enhance biodiversity the german development organisation supports the initiative for in the community of io toshiko the project to supporting the cultivation of the plants is the second most expensive spice in the world after saffron one kilo costs up to six hundred euros on the global market. mariana morales is in charge of the vanilla project of the mexican environmental foundation and beyond. the project focuses on sharing the survival of an era but it also offers farmers an economical turn it and that not their economic up you could say it has two aspects agricultural production and nature conservation or not . my baby you look wonderful you finally bloomed very nice the blossoms open for just
2:53 am
a single day which is the only period in which they can be pollinated nine months later it has turned into a green vanilla pod. in the form of yes i had to really pay attention and come here very early every day there was please have all this if we had natural pollinators they would do the work for us from the days when they were. there still aren't very many vanilla blossoms but once it begins with action is needed there is very little time to pollinate thousands of flowers by hand that's why it's necessary to hire assistance and that costs money. and wasps used to take care of the pollination. and unfortunately many farmers sprayed too many chemicals on their fields. pollinators gradually disappeared. just. a few months ago they brought
2:54 am
in some bees that only live in this region. just. to get on we were told that these bees would pollinate the blossoms. but when we write it out we notice that it wasn't working. but now. they have some honey that they can also sell. with the help of the g.i.c. they want to learn which insects are interested in pollinating the vanilla blossoms . even though the pollinators are so small they are the most important factors and ecosystems worldwide here and i otoh go to as there are many disadvantages to having human pollinators when the labelling of those humans minority if the pollination is done by hand we speak of self pollination those as if that means the
2:55 am
pollen is transferred to the same plant if it is say this information will be the house down genetically. if a transfer is done among the plants there is more diversity yet bananas will not even see that. the search for the appropriate pollinators is far from over but there's a glimmer of hope. at a meteorite vera's farm there are also wild vanilla plants growing among the banana orange and coffee trees instead of pollinating by hand he's relying on biological diversity if you refer to the rule all by itself there are still some natural pollinators of vanilla blossoms. this is what vanilla ponds look like after they've been harvested and left to dry in the sun for several days. it's a spice with its roots in mexico that ancient mexican cultures also treasured.
2:56 am
the rediscovery of the nile in the region will not only protect an important plant but also local identity. and that's all from global three thousand and this time we're back next week in the meantime don't forget to send us your feedback e-mail the address is global three thousand d.w. dot com and we're also on facebook women by for now.
