in metropolis duramax series of bad. choices. i love. a swiss like me fight says the 15 nations 50 story. very personal very best. t.w. . welcome to global 3000 here's what's coming up. what kind of weed would you like a fairly normal question in europe quite where the sale and recreational consumption of marijuana is legal. eaten chocolate today if so chances are you've

consumed cocoa from ghana it's a crop that provides a livelihood to many farmers. but 1st we go to turkey where hundreds of thousands of children are forced to work in the farming sector. every child is entitle to happiness health and an education but that's denied to many girls and boys instead of going to school they're forced to work to help support their families despite the fact that child labor is oficial abandon almost all countries images like these are widespread. according to the united nations children's agency unicef there are $152000000.00 child laborers worldwide more than 70 percent of them work in the agriculture sector as well as in the service sector and industry nearly all the world's nations have agreed to aim to end all forms of child labor by 2020. 52025 that's just 6 years from now.

it's 10 o'clock in the morning in the heron plain in southeastern turkey noel is 11 years old and should be in school just like most of his 9 brothers and sisters but every year they missed several weeks of school because their family needs them to go out and harvest cotton. later in the school year in may they'll miss another month of school because the help will be needed to harvest apricot. face. yet as though the work is quite hard. to get we have to pick cotton for the entire day. it's tough. for neverless older sisters there is 16 years old she tells us she hasn't been to

school a tool since she was in the 5th grade for. high adam book but i dreamed of becoming a doctor. it was very important to me. marble high and i really wanted to go to school because. you know i'm very sad that i can't fulfill my dream. i'm sad that because of this cotton i can't go to school. to a kitchen you'll actually patterns most forms of child labor children are required to be in school up to the age of at least 15 but here in the higher end playing the authorities have never really come down on child labor no less and zara's father of losing track of i send all his. into work in the fields over the course of the

school year money is tight and he sees no alternative charges to burn and what other solution is there if the state would help us out it would be different but as it is if we don't all work we won't get by most of. those on very low incomes can get state help in some cases but the amount varies and it doesn't necessarily increase with the size of the family as a result tens of thousands of families are forced to put their children to work regional development experts said bennett spent years studying the problem he says many families simply have no choice he warns missing chuckle by that he could be fined for not sending his children to school or apologise or apologise as the shame that if we don't work how can i provide for the children and send them to school at all how can i buy food for them where would we get bread with the double of them.

are sure that i will make my get that our little bennett asks if you knows about the penalty for child labor. yes i know about it but we have no choice what else can we do. to check up my family is no exception one turkish labor union estimates that around $2000000.00 children are forced to work on a regular basis just to survive half a 1000000 of them in agriculture the czech abayas have no land of their own they have to give 30 percent of their income to the landowner. even once they get home the children's work is still not done. there is father appears to have told her off for talking to us so openly in the field perhaps he is worried because he was warned he might have to pay a fine. now she tells us she does go to school but she still has it is in

her eyes. and children don't spend their childhood and adolescence in school where they belong but out in the fields working temperatures can rise to 50 degree celsius or doctors have diagnosed child workers with sunburn and sicknesses contracted from insects out in the field of the charge other psychological problems because of the heavy workload. to be sure that it's not just this generation the parents and grandparents of these children experienced the same thing at all tom. we contacted turkey's governing party to ask what is being done to tackle the problem of child labor but we got no answer and the for years president. has touted turkey's economic upturn citing wage increases and the building of new roads and turkey is indeed one of the g 20 states but it's yet to stamp out child labor.

these images also show forced labor under engine main conditions they date back more than a century to colonial africa and era in which land resources and artworks were plundered from much of the continent. ministre toure's and ethnologists brought huge numbers of african cultural treasures to europe. london's british museum has 200000 artworks from africa and its collection. museum for central africa near brussels has 180000 works. and berlin's new humboldt forum will feature $75000.00 african art objects but what should be done with the new. artifacts. europe's ethnological museum

collections are full of objects that were plundered from africa simply taken or gained through underhand means other items were bought or bartered by european explorers some 80 percent of africa's historical art is thought to be in europe including some of the most iconic museum pieces. should it be given back. yes a lot of it works taken without consent that's the conclusion of a groundbreaking study of europe's colonial era acquisitions the proposals put forward by french art historian benedict savoie and the senegalese scholar fellin sour could have far reaching consequences for. their report was commissioned by french president emmanuel mark home he's pledged to begin repatriating stolen art works to africa within 5 years. we really hope that mccalls announcement on our

report won't just be empty words but will have real consequences. it doesn't only apply to france but to many european countries. they are also invited to look at their colonial past and above all about their present relations with africa which are still shaped by colonialism in my eyes this is absolutely fundamental that. france is leading the way but what about the other former colonial powers. belgium too has a problematic legacy. the famous royal museum for central africa just outside brussels recently reopened after undergoing an extensive make over. it was long overdue. the museum features a magnificent collection of artifacts it was long criticized for being an exhibition of colonial propaganda now it refer. the african point of view and highlights the atrocities of belgium's colonial past the museum's director general

is not ruling out returning artifacts to africa. obviously are agree with prison micro when he says those still normal though they the percent of the african cultural heritage is in europe so we have to open the debate i mean clearly the moral owner of these objects are the african countries themselves and it's their histories their culture it's their identity so we need to assure exist but let's take things step by step and look to fall into the trap of. saying all of the 10525000 objects of the religion should return to congo i don't think anybody's asking for it oh god does not have the national museum so far but we do not it will have one probably that would open so the end of next year the moment it's a different situation so we can discuss. critics say it's all just delaying tactics they want to get things moving now they argue that for too long it's been the former colonial powers who have dictated what happens acting as though they were

superior rather than taking responsibility for the sins of the past. the report could also have repercussions for germany berlin's both in museum is currently showing highlights of the german capital selection of african art. soon the works are set to move to the newly rebuilt berlin city palace or humboldt forum . but here too there is growing public debate over the exhibits the head of the foundation that runs berlin's museums believes more research is needed to ascertain which objects were obtained illegally. when it was it's you do we just want to wash our hands of it or do we want to develop a new kind of co-operation xix which means he has called for new international guidelines for the restitution of artifacts. one thing seems clear action is needed the question is whether france's initiative will prompt europe to now begin to

redress some of the injustices of the past. has become a global industry many of us eat it every day but not many people know where chocolate comes from and under what conditions the cocoa used to make it is grown. our reporter gary vollmer was in ghana the world's 2nd biggest exporter of cocoa for our global ideas series she and her team traveled to be a district where cocoa farmers have to grapple with a number of problems. it's with a heavy heart that. is setting to work. he's cutting down coca trees in one part of his plantation.

pods that never arrived in properly because of the virus. this is no good for harvesting we can't process it it's spoiled. swollen shoot virus is the name of the disease that's affecting his trees but it's not his only problem. all of this is part of my farm i planted plant chain cocoa another crops here just like elsewhere on the farm but the timber contractors have cleared everything and they didn't even compensate me. many timber companies in ghana are involved in illegal deforestation just brothel neemo from the n.g.o.s and he is working with the farmers to at least ensure they don't further exacerbate the problem. we have telling farm is through. the farm doing things. about so that we can really benefit from the water lots of land and not to move into the about that aspect of it is what we are seeing about big timber companies

also trying to degrade the forest and doing this cutting off locks without really replacing the his dutch ngo has rented farm land on the edge of the forest for the past 2 years they've run a tree nursery here. orlando's mana was among those who were given seedlings from the nursery. left by here. the ngo has given him tips on how to boost the growth of his trees damp sections of banana trunks for example can help to strengthen the roots. he's also learned how to treat the stumps of the disease trees that he's chopped down. i used herbicide to kill off the stump so that it can regenerate otherwise it could infect the new trees that i've planted you have to use herbicide to kill the entire system i didn't realize that before i say. but it's not been easy for the ngo the

1st many farmers were skeptical about the experts from the city but that changed as the ngo won some powerful allies. is a respected and successful cocoa farmer a few years ago he gave his plantation an overhaul chopping down the older trees and planting new ones. even though he's an expert when it comes to cocoa farming he's not that fond of chocolate he'd rather have a plate of rice to eat. there is no our preferred food was when i knew it did. yes. well for your good. through our worst food in the capital accra this company is trying to change that view to hoping to inspire gun ends with exotic

creations like hibiscus chocolate. if none of that very helpful read to them and that's how we end up developing a lot of our favorite but it is that and then we have the. people who pay for our i can buy that but the handmade chocolate produced here is more of a luxury product but will sell mainly in the capital or go straight to export to sister set up the company about 2 years ago since then they faced many challenges ranging from constant power outages to corrupt officials who made life difficult for the small company. but they're determined to keep on with their luxury chocolate and not just leave the field to the big multinational food companies. it takes a lot of indoor and definitely run a talk with business here and. just represent using our resources at home

to actually produce the finished care back to western ghana and orlando as mana with his family this year one kilo of dried cocoa beans will earn him the equivalent of one euro 30 but only if the quality is right as in the case of this pod. we know. so many of the pods in my harvest have been spoiled. the good ones like this are few and far between. if you look at parts like this one you think you have a large but actually you haven't. fallen no us man who is in a difficult position his new trees aren't yet bearing fruit and the more established ones arrive the diseased will no longer producing good cocoa pods in sufficient quantity but his farm is at least on the road to recovery.

once harvested the beans are left to ferment for a week under banana leaves at the plantation then they spend another week laid out on stands in the village to dry in the sun. the farmers pack the beans in $64.00 kilo sacks and sell them to companies licensed by the state everything is regulated centrally including the amount of money they get for each sack. for this year there was no price because their market price was falling. fortunately the government. producer price of so that money has been kept at it the same rate last year but the challenge for farmers is to keep up their supply company workers check the moisture content of the sacks and grade them according to the size and weight of the beans.

all the sacks stored here are destined for export which commands much higher prices . back in orlando last month as well it there's bad news the ngos project which has helped the farmer so much is due to end the farmers have come together for a meeting at the local church. where. they all want the development project to continue and come with your concerns very seriously i understand that you want the project to be extended for one or 2 years i will forward this information to our donors i hope that something can be done but unfortunately i can't promise you anything right now. at least the ngo is promising to continue advising the farmers. from cocoa to another popular plant marijuana or camp known by its latin name

cannabis some 200000000 people around the world consume it so many ask why not legalize it after all cannabis has a long history it was smoked in china 5000 years ago. in ancient egypt the pharos swear by its medicinal effects. in the middle ages the crusaders brought him to monastic gardens in europe from there it spread to the americas in europe why the sale of cannabis was illegal until 2017. martine collapsed so does not want us to say exactly where we are behind this election fight fence is the marijuana plantation he tends with the other members of his kind of s. club. for growing and consuming recreational kind of strict conditions has been illegal in

here a guy since 2017. but. more and more people here except cannabis. consumers we know have the same rights as everyone else who consumes other drugs such as alcohol and tobacco should be. the secure storage of his kind of his club contains last year's harvest more than 120 kilos sorted by variety some mild some stroll. they're for the exclusive use of the 45 members of the club that's the law. he's going to deliver a bunch of the homegrown we each to the club in the capital montevideo a laboratory analyzes samples and the individual packs are clearly labeled as to content and strength. it's

a radical change that we can now grow it legally we used to have to buy cannabis smuggled in from paraguay illegally from dealers it was extremely unhealthy the quality was terrible. but. a crowd watches a soccer match all screens in the heart of the city sipping martie tea and smoking weed. these days it's a common scene in europe why. and the police don't bat an eyelid. consumers who don't grow their own weed either by themselves or in a club buy it at a pharmacy. alongside the meds and health care products you'd expect to see here this water pipes and cigarette papers and other cannabis paraphernalia. uses 1st have to register with the authorities before they can actually find

marijuana. this is my 1st time buying dope in a pharmacy i'm going to enjoy it straight away. we used to have to go to shady dives to get weed on the black market it wasn't easy and it was dangerous to get a platter of. the pharmacists have to do an idea check on anyone who wants to buy cannabis thumb scan links to the official database of registered users. they're allowed to buy up to 10 grams a week purchases are recorded. but out of court we wouldn't give me anything i must have already. some this week though i can't remember funny i must of forgot i'm a bit absent minded if. this is one of the few pharmacies in the country that have agreed to sell marijuana. among the general public the legalization of marijuana has been widely accepted even among conservatives but of course there has been

opposition still europe why has stuck to the policy. it was the 1st country to legalize pot and the move hasn't led to mayhem or chaos though some people still think it's dangerous if the dopeheads are totally out of it all the time. they might kill or steal or rape. things are totally out of control. they change the law. but i don't see what's so good about that. no their. drugs council is a division of the presidential office secretary general says opinion polls indicate that when it comes to legalizing marijuana more people are in favor and opposed. that decision was absolutely democratic. drug dealing on the black market remains illegal. what is now legal is cannabis consumption with the help of state

registered producers and uses. as a state monitor closely. with respect to money laundering. but the black market in other drugs has not yet been white. so used to come painful legalization. of this kind of base. for some of the tensions at home. for the last 11 years my parents grew up under the military dictatorship. i grew up in a democracy. but i've seen over the past 15 years how the conflict between the generations has declined. in.

my family were all outraged when kind of asleep. i was thrilled but i didn't tell them he said and i knew it. you're of the way in legalizing marijuana it's an ongoing experiment and the results are not yet. but. that's all from global 3000 today but we'll be back next week with more stories send us your thoughts and comments below. 3000 dot com see you soon.
