can do it alone. forty years after the islamic revolution iran remains isolated the us 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. about the things that the us best sun 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. initially somebody must have a whole new idea one of other words we want to produce for the domestic market one of but in the long term we want to export coffee to armenia georgia. turkey and iraq avoids on a torquey. but the value of iran's ryall continues to fall making it unlikely that
5:37 pm
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 but now. rather says he becomes homesick as soon as he sees a map of iran he misses his home and 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. relationship 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 yako the young family now wants to try its luck elsewhere. which depleting our planet's resources at a startling rate since nine hundred seventy the amount of raw materials extracted has tripled in two thousand and seventeen it was ninety two billion tons
5:38 pm
a year over the next forty years that's set to double to one hundred nineteen 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. so this one is. so obvious and the blood often comes out of their nose when they sneeze they can't pay attention for long that's all i'm sure. sure it's to do with the lead in their blood i think of us vangelis sang a little more. the other mantra 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
5:39 pm
owner is british was commodities giant glencore who 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 tap water for their whole lives. in almost any kind of time the lead makes us tired it affects our children most of all . maintenance dollars if i have stomach aches and headaches avis english do you feel like 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.
5:40 pm
metallic as household. and we see rays levels of all heavy metals lead cadmium potassium and most curing. every resident is well above the limits set by the world health organization. looked in. peruvian 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. major thick layer of toxic particles due to a nearby metal smelter. chimney in the town of la royal mint sulphur dioxide lead and arsenic into the air but less than it used to says yolanda a few years ago production was
5:41 pm
a lot higher. but at the same 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 land has fought for better environmental standards mostly without success you. first were called traitors. that never bothered me because we also had supporters like you longer your catholic church and overseas organizations helped us. after years the peruvian state finally recognize that we were being poisoned and
5:42 pm
that we were being made sick by. the name of. the smelter of la a royal 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. as best you know. you need to look for a balance of course when you feel good obviously the smelter needs a better filters so pollution can decline as a means. antoninus you know i don't see it in this way light oh yes i will they just let you know the thing i worry about most is the health of my children you know 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 and.
5:43 pm
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. look this thing looks church 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 you hear me point all of the doubt about. the mining company glencore did not respond to our request for an interview nor did the peruvian 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 sort of the city will still be does feel
5:44 pm
forgotten speak up at least compared to other cities we've given a lot to her room and our government with this you got this but we've been given nothing in return we're in a worse position than other cities. even if you see the fails to deal with this you've got a. place called in the choke hold of global greed for raw materials for 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

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 alien's is part of everyday life as it is for many schoolchildren. 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. mongan young finds a new way of paying more convenient. to have already has the system many times it's easier there used to be long lines because everyone had to use their
5:46 pm
cards now the kitchen staff don't have to press any more keys when i go home owning a child prodigy and 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 point out now thirty each order the data is collected as after a certain time we can draw some conclusions and parents also receive the information that we can see how much protein carbohydrates and fried food the children are eating each month. that monitoring checking and analyzing high school number eleven in city of hang joe is more than a century old it has already received much nationwide recognition for its achievements and it still trailblazing. principal schank one child is aiming to create a smart school of the future. because to do this show we considered how we could use technology to make the lives of our students here more pleasant and help
5:47 pm
teachers improve their efficiency then we talk about a more comprehensive use of big data the international and artificial intelligence . the school says although 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 and that is usually does have going to show that in the it will cut it does it in this image. mongering young has got used to the cameras now or do you go so based on the one hand i feel that i'm under surveillance to some extent. but it all. helps us to learn which is our top priority. over all the advantages outweigh the disadvantages so doesn't a family of. the school is bristling with c.c.t.v.
5:48 pm
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 bored 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 i'm going to be very artificial intelligence can monitor i movements brain waves facial expressions concentration and behavior or me or you know we are to his wooden blood 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 that very little goes unnoticed
5:49 pm
a high school number eleven 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 the 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 week in global ideas we look at a plant native to the rain forests of central america. is a climbing plant and its fruit the vanilla bean has become a popular ingredient in cooking around the world all reports italian and she
5:50 pm
traveled to western mexico that she met farmers who were working hogs to restore biodiversity. mountain. bombers have been here for centuries. the residents here have always relied on not go culture to make a living according to. a lawyer and 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. this
5:51 pm
biodiversity 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 one only because. the book a while out on us it's like frogs and being. provides clues about how healthy a happy. whenever i'm outside in nature like here and i see frogs and know todd poles that i know that humans have intervened and used a lot of chemicals. that are installed on mine 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.
5:52 pm
after recognizing the problem the mexican government launched a program to enhance biodiversity the german development organisation g.r.i.z. supports the initiative. in the community of io tosh co the project to supporting the cultivation of the plans. 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 beyond. the project focuses on sharing the survival of an era but it also offers farmers an economical turnitin that not the economic up or you could say it has two aspects of agricultural production and nature conservation. my baby you look wonderful you finally bloomed. the
5:53 pm
blossoms open for just 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. if we had natural pollinators they would do the work for us with. the will. there still aren't very many vanilla blossoms but once it begins swift 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. in our lives. and unfortunately many farmers sprayed too many chemicals on their fields. pollinators gradually disappeared.
5:54 pm
it's. a few months ago they brought in some bees that only live in this region. i thought he was going to get a we were told that these bees would pollinate the blossoms. but when we tried it out we noticed that it wasn't working. but now they have 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 actors in all ecosystems worldwide here and i otoh go to as there are many disadvantages to having human pollinators when the labelling is as human as man might if the pollination is done by hand we speak of self pollination bozo's us that means the
5:55 pm
pollen is transferred to the same plant if it is say this information will be passed on genetically. if a transfer is done among the parents there is more diversity i. see that. the search for the appropriate pollinators is far from over but there is a glimmer of hope. at a meal rivera'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 is. 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 treasures.
5:56 pm
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 d w women by for now.
