some time in the 26th to you my great granddaughter. put the word being like in your life time in around half a century. your world will be a true degrees warmer than. inevitably sea levels rise by at least one meter in a century that's really frightening for. maps. why are people more concerned. little yellow. stars mean 31st on d w. welcome to global 3000. 400 and not. traill
11:19 am
disasters they've always been the 3 main reasons for human migration but technological progress and new forms of transportation have made displacement a far bigger global issue. in the mid 19th century in order to escape starvation in their home countries millions of irish and germans did steamships to the united states. ready in the 20th century the 2nd world war forced 16000000 people from their homes in europe alone. and since 2005 millions of people have fled conflict in syria. sometimes like in africa today all the causes of flight come together at the same time take mali for example since 2012 violence has overshadowed the west african country islam ists regularly attack mali and government forces and un peacekeeping
11:20 am
troops over the past few years 250000 money and have fled to neighboring countries now some of them are returning home. in. the carman timbuktu is deceptive and it's mainly down to the massive presence of un peacekeepers rebels and the hardest still operating in northern mali at the edge of the sahara desert terror and violence have left their mark on a city. there are too few hospitals a many children no longer attending school. mariam fatuma tour around passages for unicef the united nations children's fund. their 15 years old and the still in school. until. they regularly visit families to persuade them to send their kids back to school. we
11:21 am
go from door to door to make parents aware of how important education is we've already persuaded a few to send their children to school. but there are parents who say that education is not important for children. and then some of them say it's more important to go to qur'anic school. not only parents objections like these keeping children out of school fear is also a factor more than $800.00 schools that shut down after the political crisis in 2012 remain closed more than 80 in and around timbuktu alone the city mom school is open and hopelessly overcrowded mariam meant mohammad ali is 12 years old and one of around a 1000 students here most of them are children from the neighborhood some have fled the violence but have since returned like mariam yes. and david my family left him back to in 2012. we lived in
11:22 am
a refugee camp and more autonomy and. life was very hard there we didn't have a proper house just a hut. it was very windy and very hot in the camp it was hard. there are up to $100.00 children in each class. mariam's teacher up too late back i says the returning refugees need extra special attention. on a problem and they get us and this is all we have to work with them on 2 levels on the one level we have to support them psychologically because so many of them are traumatised on the other we have to give them extra tutoring so they can catch up with the other people. many of the refugee children have missed an awful lot of school so even if. there's not just a shortage of schools in turn back. but also with teaching staff teachers have to
11:23 am
contend with threats from the islamists who want to stop non-religious education. few children herrick getting the chance to finish their schooling. this year i'm really happy there's a proper school here with deaths teachers and cork's. i'm so glad i have the chance to learn here and there did last. and most important thing. and 8000 kilometer long belt of trees stretching along the edge of the sahara from mali through to ethiopia. that's the goal of the great green wall project the idea is that the plants will prevent further dessert if acacia makes soils more fertile and reduce conflict and it's urgently needed bamako in mali for instance has a booming population and deforestation in the region continues. charcoal
11:24 am
is big business in bamako the capital of mali. almost everybody needs charcoal to cook with and the population is growing. my mom is a charcoal match and. she's doing well but her very success is becoming a source of concern. that there are fewer and fewer trees. due to that scary if you go out of town you'll see what i mean. an australian agronomist with the ngo world vision tony rinaldo has developed a method of countering the deforestation that affects large parts of africa his work won him the right livelihood award also known as the alternative nobel prize. and is cleared of the vegetation. gradually degrades and becomes less and less productive less and less can be grown on
11:25 am
a profit can be made and people become more desperate so there is a very strong link between huntley and land and also between migration and. tells rinaldo that she now has to get her charcoal from 160 kilometers away because sources closer to bamako have dried up it's a similar situation in and around many of africa's big cities the disappearance of forests and degradation of the land is a huge problem. how do we fortunately through famine manage natural regeneration through the regeneration of trees and landscapes is a very low cost rapid and scalable method to reverse that degradation in the 1980 s. we're now discovered that in many places there are intact underground networks of roots struggling to grow and that pruning shoots can help trees and bushes flourish
11:26 am
well the vision is now promoting the f. and then our technique in 24 countries around the world. in northern uganda. was among the 1st farmers to adopt it a decade ago. it has changed so much in my village. we used to have to drive our cattle long distances to graze. cvs could steal them. but now they can graze nearby. but there's still a lot to do the villages are regularly go out and work on reviving areas of degraded land applying when otto's technique and trying new shoots growing out of old stumps. farmer manage natural regeneration isn't complicated it involves targeted pruning and protecting of new growth still it's very effective these saplings will hopefully grow into tall trees. we cut some shoots
11:27 am
but leave the bigger ones just one or 2. what we cut away we use as firewood. the key advantage over planting new trees is that the roots are already there and reach deep into the soil so even if it rarely rains they can tap into the groundwater trees can also raise the water table release moisture into the air and fertilize the soil when their leaves fall and decompose as conditions improved samuel bunton was able to increase his herd. it has helped a lot life used to be much harder but now things are different we have a proper income we can look after our families pay for health insurance and school fees and everybody has enough to eat. in your 82 hectares of land have so far been reforested but large stretches still look like
11:28 am
a desert. degraded dry land regions may have countless intact tree root systems that could yet heeled new trees if they're properly tended . rinaldo organizers conferences across africa on f.m. and are also in countries that are in turmoil such as mali he was recently in bamako. grenada has devoted his life to restoring africa's forests. he says regenerating local vegetation improves the lives of millions and giving people hope can help transform the political landscape as well in many a country. transform the whole country. because it has that potential people to be able to be self-sufficient and they're not going to be so interested in joining a fight somewhere else families have aspirations and. cities
11:29 am
such as burma co consumer vast amounts of natural resources even as they become ever more scarce the restoration of vegetation around cities and elsewhere can improve people's quality of life and perhaps reduce the potential for violence and conflict. of the world 68800000 displaced persons by far the majority around 14000000 people are internally displaced in colombia years of paramilitary violence has led to 7700000 people there suffering that fate most have nothing to return to their homes and livelihoods are all gone. and more recently they've been joined by one and a half 1000000 refugees from crisis stricken venezuela.
11:30 am
is growing fast some 10000000 people live here but it's the poor districts on the outskirts that are. increasing most rapidly. many people displaced from their homes elsewhere in colombia have settled in so watch the neighborhood is known to be dangerous but it's close to the city center and rents are cheap. doesn't want to be recognized a month ago he fled from gang warfare in the town of el. it was so we left so as not to get caught up in the fighting if we hadn't left it would have cost us our lives. the power vacuum left by the far is now being filled by other groups anyone who doesn't pay protection money gets murdered. carlos saw 28 people die before he decided to flee to the capital. i feel good here but i've had a lot of support from the red cross and from the victim support. i'm ok.
11:31 am
helping me find a job in a company that's my plan to find work and spend the rest of my life in. the hope of a job and a home has also driven thousands of venezuelans to colombia venezuela closed the official border crossings in february but families continue to come across elsewhere on foot. there was nothing back home nothing from my baby nothing for us that's no way to live no medicine no food nothing. but things won't be easy in colombia either to get a work permit you need proper id almost half the venezuelans who have come here don't have that. many are exploited as. some just hang around the streets and beg for money and food even people with a job have a hard time finding a decent place to stay. many of those who make it here sleep in so-called.
11:32 am
shared rooms packed with beds they have no rights there and could be evicted at any time luis is a hairdresser and has a job but he barely makes enough just to pay for his bed. prison prison. there are 3 bunk beds parolee that 6 people so you have absolutely no privacy and you can't leave any valuables there either. colombia is trying to cope with its own displaced people and many more from venezuela the united nations refugee agency u.n.h.c.r. is worried that the country cannot handle the strain summersby and name but is practiced in various parts of colombia venezuelans just sleep on the streets which makes them vulnerable to attack i know. there are all kinds of people lots of women with children pregnant women older women and people who need special care and.
11:33 am
this one is specific that's why the u.n.h.c.r. and other agencies are trying to at least offer some initial help displaced in the future but at the minute we want to give them a chance to build a life here in colombia because as long as they can't return to venezuela we cannot point to this had happened when this man is one of the successful ones he's opened a venezuelan restaurant in bogota back home he worked in tourism but then things became unbearable. but 1st i was planning to go back when the regime fell. but now i have my business here and my family. i have to think about it i'll probably wait a while. the restaurateur is a role model for some other friends wayland's in colombia not just for his success but also because he provides them
11:34 am
a taste of home. an amazing 85 percent of all refugees worldwide taken in by developing countries regions where poverty and hunger ready key problems. industrialized nations make up just one in 10 of all host countries and one of them japan is notoriously tough when it comes to asylum. the detainees are treated. better than in. tokyo capital of one of the most marginal societies in the world foreigners make up only 2 percent of japan's population it's also one of the countries most closed to outsiders more than $10000.00 people applied for asylum here in 2018 but only 42
11:35 am
were granted refugee status because it. was organization says it takes care of $6.00 to $700.00 asylum seekers every year helping them fill out applications and survive the long wait. how many did it is a. process is very strict and we see applicants here and we think that more should be accepted in the law. provides applicants with food accommodation and clothing during their wait which averages almost one and a half years but it's capacities are at the limit. and since last year the government has made the conditions stricter for work during the waiting period. also very few people can get work and only a few get government support. the japanese government says many applicants come for
11:36 am
economic reasons only but documents from the department of justice show that in recent years only one 3rd of all applicants were clear economic migrants of all the industrialized countries japan has the most rigorous interpretation of the un refugee convention applicants must be able to prove they're threatened in writing and in japanese during the waiting period many are at risk of becoming homeless or if the initial application is denied they may end up in detention pending deportation. one of the biggest detention centers is 2 hours outside of tokyo. oh she says the building back that that's where i was held. to marry young applied for asylum in 2010 decades after being involved in anti-government protests in south korea she had reason to fear repercussions after overstaying his visa he spent more than 2 and a half years in the center now he's out on probation.
11:37 am
not much gets out about the conditions in. after 6 months most people's faces turn around expressionless. the inmates have been on hunger strike several times in recent years they criticize the crowded accommodations insufficient many call care and the uncertainty about their status some are confined for more than 5 years or their detention is only meant to be temporary. one former detainee is this refugee from sri lanka he doesn't want to give his name for fear of being recognised in his homeland in sri lanka he got caught between the fronts of the civil war he fought for over 12 years to gain refugee status. 60 no. finished no.
11:38 am
so i don't have my children with me. i don't. know there is no future in this mountain of papers is only part of his long running legal battle on a stopover to canada he was detained at the airport in japan for missing documents it was only in january this year that he was finally recognized as a refugee. he was helped by people like total saw originally from myanmar he is one of the few refugees who have become successful in japan 17 years ago he opened a bernese restaurant in tokyo. closing so president there was a. deportation is very difficult.
11:39 am
so they do everything they can to make life in japan hard. and i hope people who sought refuge here will leave the country voluntarily with me. one of them one japanese don't want these problems around them. it's they want to keep them far far away. from us. at the height of the e.u.'s migration crisis in 2015 many refugees who arrived in germany from regions in turmoil like syria received a warm welcome to 8000000 germans volunteered to give language classes assistance and advice all of which helped many young arrivals settle in. a fellow syrian has opened a supermarket in hanover. that's worth a story for the photo journalist. of.
11:40 am
the circus that. he's documenting help. people who had to flee syria try to make a life for themselves in germany. this is okra it's quite hard to find here this is from syria. and tastes really good with tomatoes and pepper. and many germans don't engage with the migrants or refugees in their midst now jam would like to awaken an interest in syrian culture including the food. so i try to show that it's not something bad. on the contrary could be good for you to that point and maybe you'll find a tasty try it. i'm open minded i've eaten german schnitzel and stuffed cabbage i tried it all. when he was 18 and studying political science and
11:41 am
journalism in levanon he was detained crossing into syria and taken to a secret service jail where he was tortured then he was given a choice join the army or have your family buy your freedom which they did after that he knew he had to leave. this farm land. syria was the place where i lived and grew up but it felt. it wasn't the right place for me i just couldn't stay there this happened. in 2014 he reached germany overland through the balkans he experienced so much along the way but didn't yet have the means to record what he saw once here he learned german prepare a free classes and is now studying photojournalism in hannover. he's involved with a media collective there called cameo. once
11:42 am
a week the team meets to discuss projects. they publish a physical and online magazine on their well. site up gratian features a range of photo series and articles so this is not a hard laugh hopes he can soon show his latest works there. are. lots of the stories on the website are about the concept of identity and the many ways of thinking about it also with respect to gender and migration texts are in german english and arabic. contributors from all backgrounds are welcome. that doesn't mean that through us gratian means upgrading through migration what we believe is that one plus one equals 3. as then when people with different points of view and backgrounds come together that's when new surprising and interesting
11:43 am
things emerge. for a laugh cameo offers a forum for exploring the issues close to his heart free of the constraints of a more conventional publication. the latest issue of cameos magazine is devoted to the fim of uncommon arriving. contributed a piece with photos of young refugees who talk about their lives and hopes. this one says i'm 7 years old when i come from syria i'd like to get to know some german children and play with them. laugh says he feels good in germany but it's his profession that gives his life focus and meaning. and what arriving is not necessarily about reaching a certain spot to live and it can also be about finding a place for yourself it's not always about having a new home or
11:44 am
a new language it can be just a feeling finding your place in pursuing a sport for example or a real place the feeling of having arrived can be very gratifying and soothing for the soul. of hopes he will be allowed to stay in germany where he sees a future for himself. that's all from global 3000 we're back next week here's a quick reminder to send us your feedback right global street 1000 d.w. dot com and you can find us on. but to d.w. women see you next time.
11:45 am
before. it's quite as simple as it seems. to understand the world
11:46 am
better we need to take a closer. experience not. to. be. more. rock n a. the to come up with sinful rhythms condemned by the church. i know that. feeling that you feel when you fight. your past lives of. heart stopping no one is more popular than jesus psalm book.
11:47 am
rock and religion clash that brings many poles too late. for that to really suit your reconcilable good luck to devils and your luck in late. june 17th t w. i got nothing to look at i guess sometimes i am but i said nothing which is that we should have been thinking consider jemma culture of looking at the stereotypes of class that you think you see from the country that i not. yet think it's a ridiculous drama they are believe it's all about a new i might show join me to meet the gentleman from v.w. . post their super shy. many hide themselves away super secretive. going and going super
11:48 am
rich definitely around 20000000000 on me more like. germany's wealthiest people live why do they have such a low profile we have a snoop around to catch a glimpse of top of the discreet lockers of this food rich star choose him d.w. out of the. cut. cut cut. oh. this is deja vu news live from berlin voters across europe have made their voices heard in the european parliament elections the political center has seen support slip away and the climate concerns appear to have boosted green parties across the
11:49 am
bloc. but there's also been a strong nationalist surge in several countries the far right national rally party led by the in the pan looks set to finish on top in france dealing a blow to president not crawl. or welcome to our special ongoing coverage of the european parliament elections one big change we've already seen in these results is the eroding support for traditional centrist parties in germany france and elsewhere while the environmentalist greens have been surging taking 2nd place in germany meanwhile the right wing populist parties are projected to have won their national campaigns in france italy poland and hungary. these boxes hold the voice of europe. the future of more than 500000000 people marked on pieces of paper.
11:50 am
once counting had begun it soon became clear the voters had spoken out against the solid center of european politics. the sheer instant northeast the best news today is that european democracy is alive the leaves martin and today we saw a clear increase in voter turnout mean. that democracy gave german mainstream parties their worst. results. i that democracy delighted much of the european far right. in france marine le pen again beat the french president's party. hungary's viktor orban spelled it out the migration issue by itself and the reaction of the people only we all reorganized the 4th of especially the european
11:51 am
union for the provisional party families will not play the same role in the future as they have done in the recent years i also own traditional jubilant greens resurgence in germany. become a big hitter in the european parliament. and our family ah. we achieved this because 90 many people took to the streets for climate protection because many many young people were ready to fight for climate protection in schools universities and schools halls. yellow fest protesters in brussels on sunday they say the e.u. is undemocratic everyone wants to change. the fight over which way will be played out in parliament and on the streets.
11:52 am
and as a result continue to come in from the 28 member countries of the european union the trends are getting clearer here are the projections for seats in the next european parliament we see that surge coming in for the greens who look likely to take 70 seats in the new parliament and the liberal. group will take 97 seats despite its heavy losses the center right european peoples party is still the biggest group with now 163 seats and if you look at the 2 right wing populist blocs here on the right of our graphic we see them at 45 and 72 seats respectively so let's go now to brussels and correspondent terry schulte standing by for us hi terry good morning it may not yet be official but results are in what's your assessment of what we're seeing so far certainly my as you've laid out there the mainstream political parties the center right center left groups here in the european parliament no longer have
11:53 am
a monopoly on power they are not going to be able to bully their way through anymore there is going to have to be a lot more collaboration and that's a good thing for democracy it may slow down the already sometimes arduous process of finding agreement in the european parliament but in fact it simply means that there's going to have to be a lot more cross party cross party cooperation so your voters have essentially given the established parties just a big thumbs down let's take a listen to how the lead candidates of the 2 main blocs reacted. you're facing a shrinking center of the european parliament the center of this parties who believe in the future of europe wants to strengthen europe wants to have an impish is approved for the future of europe it is a view of facing a shrinking center you're right to say that these 2 parties who have always had a majority european parliament now for the 1st time both lost so that we no longer
11:54 am
have a majority but in that sense the european parliament is a perfect reflection of what happens in most member states this is also the situation in most of our member states it has become more difficult to form coalitions to do you think that mist of a about mr timmins there have really understood the message they got from european voters well my it's been a mixed message but as you can see from them neither of them were certainly crowing with pride about the results of their of their parties although our friends to romans did very well in the netherlands and in fact he came out on top there in what many are calling calling a surprise victory but it is true that these 2 men who are in charge of 2 of the major political groups are going to have to realize that voters have told them that they want other parties i mean not only has there been a populist increase in many places but the greens the climate change is going to have to top the agenda as many voters have said let's that's also something that
11:55 am
has been mentioned by one of the other candidates for european commission president margaret divest the let's listen to what she says that monopoly of power is broken and this is of course why we can do something else and i very much appreciated my colleagues trying to more than just set that a coalition can be built of those who wants to do something of those who want to take action progressively. that one of the really big developments to come out of the election is turnout voter participation after years of declining interest in the elections of apathy voters have turned out in higher numbers than in the last 25 years the last 5 european parliamentary elections so not only have voters sent a message with the results they've shown candidates a message simply by turning out and going to the polls they care and they want action here in brussels and as we've heard from several candidates it definitely
11:56 am
good for democracy so now going back to coalition building looks like there's going to have to be a lot of horse trading and there are some predictions that hungary's viktor orbán is going to be playing a major role why is that it's not just viktor orban but it's also people like victor orbán these far right candidates who have said that they're coming for brussels and that they're going to make their voices heard and remember that we didn't even mention the u.k. elections where the brics a party formed simply to get britain out of the european union came out on top and that party has said that they are sending any peace to brussels simply to make things more difficult so they won't be the only ones it is going to be very very hard to make compromises here in brussels and there are going to be new members of the european parliament who openly say they're here because they don't like it so we're going to see some very difficult negotiations on any issues and made even
11:57 am
more difficult by the fact the british army will of course at some point leave and our correspondent terry schulze for us in brussels thank you so much. here in germany it was a rather miserable night for uncle americal skin service and her coalition partners the social democrats these 2 parties make up the national government and they lost almost 20 percent of their votes the biggest winners were the german greens who doubled their showing a result that propels them into 2nd place and the far right party has also gained ground but it lost support in comparison to the last national election. i sometimes reaction speak louder than words the german greens ecstatic as they watch their vote sarge this triumph belt off the back of young voters and the climate emergency a warning shots of the country's government was that seek not used the signal today is that the german government has been voted down as
11:58 am
a result of its hesitation on climate protection and its failure to unify europe. up give years 4 years we are fighting for european solidarity and strong climate protection emotional. at the c.d.u. party the watch dawn in dread not exactly drowning their sorrows but these results down 7 percent make for sobering reading as the party grapples with the country's shifting demographics. so i retired several doubts certainly we have not been dynamic a nothing government and we fail to give convincing answers the voters across germany have expected of us in total and. across town not their government coalition partners yes p d it was a picture of fool frontal despair. they saw almost half their vote disappear
11:59 am
27 percent to 15 the party's leadership pleaded for members not to lose the faith. and. it's mr i would like to ask all our s.p.d. members and supporters to take hot i'm still not confidently to the future even if today's results are painful they show us that we have a lot to do better than it is for the far right if t. it was more a night of shot and freude than success. the biggest cheer for the s.p.d. and c.d.u. losses. they had threatened an insurgency but in the end mustered 10 percent of the disappointment hard to hide. the again we're going to brussels to repair the e.u. to reduce the e.u. to a school that is why we have been elected just what we are going to do in brussels
12:00 pm
. these may have been european elections but the results may well she cut domestic politics to. and we're joined in the studio by all of the political scientists with reza aslan global here in berlin thanks for being here so centrist parties losing across europe political establishment looks like it's not very solid ground mirrored very much by the results that we see here in berlin why is this happening i think it's that we see this trend for years now and specially if you look at the s.p. do you can see how dramatic it actually is going on so yesterday's on a race to the bottom which now turn really into excess of dental crisis if you're so.
