explosive device. lucia climate change. i. call it is. a. welcome to global 3000. will the future bring more conflicts over water along the river separating kenya and tanzania people want to avoid precisely that. in egypt we meet a young t.v. presenter who's breaking the mold when it comes to conventional ideas about down's syndrome. and along the us mexico border we find out why ever more couples are

opting to get married on the bridge. and. it's donald trump's big election promise to build a vast supposedly beautiful wall along the u.s. mexican border too high to climb too long to get around his dream is a night math or millions on both sides of the border it's far from finished already people are proving that a wolf won't keep them up pops. it's the best day of their lives everything is perfect just like i love the ring the dress the kiss. at the. except perhaps for the location where at the u.s. mexican border a place or people in flight heavy traffic passport controls. but it's certainly different marrying here on the border. 3 days before the. wedding we're in

stuttgart what is in mexico a city marked by drug cartels and violence miters hometown. where. i always thought we'd have a normal wedding with a party not standing on a bridge me. my 2 doesn't want to stay in mexico and certainly doesn't want to start a family here. we have problems with the papers which is why we're doing this house up we were planning on living here at all basically everything needs fixing up. by papers might a means for us visa a month ago her application was rejected the couple had wanted to get married in the us but the news meant rethinking all their plans might is not even allowed to travel to the us. known as. we can't get married in el paso because i can't cross the border it would be

illegal if we get married here whereas it won't be recognized by the us. based in the us if that enter plan be a bridge marriage it solves both problems my 2 doesn't have to cross the border and the us off oregon is legally recognized the marriage once married might is husband can petition for her to come and live in the us now we are in el paso across the border in the us the home of the groom. now home lives just 12 kilometers from my ticket yet it's a world away. this is where the couple were planning to live. now it's put. on hold. now it's looks like we don't know how long it's going to be on hold now almost from the us his mother is mexican he grew up in juarez but went to school in el paso the border has always

been a part of his life but it was never an obstacle until now. i think it's an unnecessary situation. people here have been living in the border for since the border was created. the fact that i'm currently living under one of the most strict border policies it's frustrating it it angers me mike to has never been here in person she's only seen it via smartphone. i didn't recognize where you are i know yes i look you know. so she looks beautiful. doesn't it just right you know you know we'll be here together. but 1st they have to get married on the bridge with the help of this man.

director mr. reuben s. come dawn is a minister he'll conduct the service of my turn now room he's been doing bridge marriages for 14 years more regularly since donald trump became president because visas are now harder to get started up with on the bridge may be you know one or 2 a week you know we're doing 8 to 10 no month. in the church next door he conducts more traditional weddings for those couples who do have the right papers. oftentimes we have a u.s. citizen u.s. resident that meets. the love of their life across the border and because of immigration laws because of the the river that runs down and separates the 2 there has to be some kind of mechanism in place to bring those 2 lives together and the bridge marriage works for that purpose. 17 hours until the wedding now one

crosses the border to mexico to see his fiance. just so much that separates us but in a way that bridge connects us. but for me it's a symbol of division of rejection. of boundaries. but i've got this only because you've never been able to cross. the bridge sees around 13000 visitors daily alongside that is getting married there are people going to work going shopping visiting family. and this is the marriage spot straddling the border between the 2 countries hundreds of people are waiting in the queue the midday heat is oppressive. now

and will you take my kid to be your wife to love her or her specter to support her in good times and bad if so please answer i do feel left. right there as if. there's no shortage of witnesses here but it's still somehow romantic. it was lovely and a nice distraction from all this waiting. to. i'm so happy. now though there's some more waiting ahead 4 days after the wedding we're back in mexico city and a house where the couple didn't ever plan to live. but i think that. now will submit the papers for the visa but we don't know how long it will take. and until we get the good news we'll be living here. currently it takes up to 2 years for visas to be issued but then the happy couple will be able to

start their life together in the united states. just over a 1000000000 people worldwide have a physical or mental impairment some 15 percent of the global population 80 percent live in developing countries and that can make things even more challenging. people with disabilities are less likely to finish school or get a job and often end up living in poverty. ready down syndrome or treme $21.00 affects an estimated $6000000.00 people worldwide it's caused by one extra chromosome which can lead to a range of developmental and health effects in egypt one young woman is determined that none of that will stop her achieving had goals. has truly swung her way to freedom the 23 year old has down's syndrome. was her new friends she's in her element. at the. beginning you know

a lot and i'm happiest when i'm here practicing with my friends. that's in play with them and i feel like a champion. but all. the training for an upcoming international competition that coach specializes in working with down syndrome children he says military type drills are a desert and the children need affection with. their very emotional loving comes easily to them but so does hate. they like me so they follow my coaching instructions. for. ramos mother is often hurt by the cruel discrimination her daughter and jaws. but

swimming has helped make up for that a little. after all ramos has already won several medals in international competitions. away from the pool things haven't been easy. but that is an art for me was when i wanted to go to kindergarten in the school and many people were against it going to school they said be thankful that you can walk and talk to him and that when they don't understand down syndrome i'm not disabled i have down syndrome that makes me special that those a little ill. and a member of my fulfill over a month wishes and tell her go try it out when she was studying tourism she told me she'd also really like to get into media and i asked her why she said she wanted to change things and that t.v. is good for that with the palin bush hold out. and rock realised her ambition

she co-hosts a morning show on the popular egyptian t.v. channel d.m.c. ahead of the show grandma chats with 2 of her cast twins who are also parents and generous only. then the 3 of them make their way to the studio. a presenter with down syndrome was a courageous step for the station but one that many welcome. found it a little unusual of 1st but then we thought it was great because the result is fantastic she can speak very well and he. has been presenting the morning show for 9 months together with a colleague. she always opens the show one of the 2 main anchors. until m c a pushing boundaries. one has that alabama. i'm proud and happy because i'm doing something to enlighten

society. there's a certain knows that we can do this now thing that we're integrating into society that we belong to which the one chromosome that doesn't make a difference. other than just enjoy makes it special for them we will not be discouraged by that label. to do the book. says how messages well received she's already succeeded in convincing mothers of children with down's syndrome that they are a gift from god. china seems set on expanding its global reach beijing is investing more than 800000000000 euros in new trade routes across asia africa and europe. it's an economic stimulus program on a vast scale and one which is also inevitably altering the lives of people in local

areas one key route passes through pakistan's valley what does this mean for people there how do they see their future along this new silk road which. we're traveling along one of the highest roads in the world. in the karakoram highway in pakistan. police are accompanying us to a huge building site where no other western journalists have been permitted to film up until now and where they are busy reconstructing and upgrading the route as part of china's belt and road initiative. it's going to be a long journey through dramatic mountain scenery. and arcane world dominated by men and guns. but then suddenly we come across this place a carpenter's workshop where women have

a say and where they work and earn money something unheard of in this region some years their people is very aggressive and they have a lot of questions from them and they said this is not for women's jobs so stop this. but the courageous akila bono and her colleagues didn't stop impressed by the standards of their work more and more customers for furniture windows and doors built by the women and that encouraged them a restaurant in a music school were built alongside the workshop the project is unique in this part of pakistan this is idea it's completely particles of sight so therefore they are separate ways did it in these the barriers are we are going to break them and hopefully some years after maybe these all questions maybe you

move a killer banner comes from the horns a valley a place where time seems to have stood still and when male and female roles the strictly defined where women normally mind children and men sit around playing against something new sprang up it was the rebuilding of an old fortune the area the 1st lit the spark. international research is drafted in teenagers from poor families to help among them. they give. young girls and boys who marginalized and. i am one of them and therefore this sport is very important for me because this court is a changed my life and positive it was hard work they had to rebuild old walls using traditional methods devised by their ancestors methods that made buildings like this earthquake proof. a kilo bano has retained

a respect for this ancient knowledge she also draws on it in the restaurant that the women built to they offer traditional dishes here but they still face resistance if one of the woman she is house housewife is completely doing the same job in her home it's ok for on because she didn't get some money but here she is a. minute. and. again we are fighting with those people who are questioning us. is no stranger to trade situated as it is along the old silk road which led across the car acorah mountain range to china when they play on their ancient instruments and when you feel as if you are being chance 40 years back to a long forgotten age but many here. could soon be changed beyond recognition. china wants the curriculum highway to become part of beijing's new silk road the

section near finished and it's already turning things upside down here the change is quite repeat. even prepared for it and it's changing the whole dynamics of the. coming form. pakistan and from chinese side for a killer bono believes that the changes won't necessarily bring more freedom for women but simply make the rich richer of the expense of the paul she agrees that the investments will create a completely different tones of ali and so she's determined to use her business to help as many poor women as she can now it's to look like. wonder. but later on maybe we can call 10 or different name just because of this. so we're not into it to build a big huge border in korea that mess bird is you see over here.

doors woman who i really like trip words and this support their families and that's why the women want to carry on with the project they say they owe it to their children. repression and discrimination are part of life for many women around the world on our new facebook channel d.w. women you'll find stories about those taking a stand and inspiring others to do the same d.w. women gives a voice to the women of our world. 2.1000000000 people worldwide have little access to clean drinking water. c agriculture uses more water than anything else 69 percent comes manufacturing meanwhile private

households use just 12 percent of the world's most are. the effects of global warming and an ever expanding world population will almost certainly lead to widespread shortages the potential for conflict is great parts of the us india and africa are already experiencing acute shortages the nile river basin is one place of potential conflict and people here are looking for a solution. produce a child's makes basket she even made the chair she's sitting on. pirates grown on the banks of the nearby mara river along with its water as a rule materials for her business but that's not all the river provides for the people of marsa poor village. during the dry season and the mara river is the only source of water so we use it for drinking bathing and washing clothes. the

mara river in north western tanzania is the lifeline for local villagers. they have to travel almost 3 kilometers to collect fresh water people here only use a small amount of water for their homes livelihoods and animals but the populations upstream are growing polluting the river and putting pressure on the water supply. the pollution continues and isn't prevented the maro river will dry up and if it dries up it won't only affect the burra but also those living further up the river . they are the ones polluting the water. but it's us at the low and you are mainly affected you are not. supposed to charles's village chief and chair of the water users association in the village the organization was set up to conserve and protect the village water resources but

there's only so much they can do charles thinks the government needs to do more. john says touma is a coordinator for a project working with the government to do just stunt he's come to marsh the board to find out how much water people use and how the river has changed over time he and his team want to make sure there's enough water for people living all along the river. they want to boost biodiversity to. growth or require water for environmental flow the minimum amount of water that should be served we've been . to floor downstream. of. the. reputation. the river project is funded by the international climate initiative and implemented by the nile based initiative the social survey is just one element. this farmer is looking to

expand his field of crops to do that he needs to be able to access water more easily. but that could cause problems in the river. fertilizers and herbicides from agriculture are among the pollutants that folly the water. farming river banks. the river sources in kenya far east from there it flows over the border into tanzania through the serengeti and into lake victoria. station and large scale agriculture upstream damage and pollute the river and that

has an impact here. scientists are collecting data to form a water allocation plan and facilitate a political agreement between the kenyan and tanzanian governments they want to make sure people on both sides of the border have access to water and avoid any future conflict the current health of the river is an important aspect of the project the scientists examined water quantity ph balance temperature and other factors. we measure these parameters because if we find they're outside of the correct range. then we know this pollution in the river. is something that would affect the life in the river as well as other users like us human beings. the water ph is normal but water levels both in the wet and dry seasons have fallen

over the years which could be a problem if that trend continues. problem also for these water users in the serengeti here the mara river provides an essential source of water for animals including more than a 1000000 will debased to migrate here every year the migration brings interests and without income for tanzania the post hotel does not use the river water but the river does give the hotel an advantage i think. to be here because. a lot of. the come here because of the animal. making sure those animals get enough water on both the kenyan and tanzania and sides of the border. that's also an important

part of the agreement that will be drawn up. they don't more the border that this is done and this is kenya and the migration when they move from setting go to a base found in tanzania they go into kenya. so they always overlap the whole territory so. we have really a very big task for the 2 countries to make sure that we preserve this river. back in martha bora surprise the child's fears that could come a day when the water in the mara river stops flowing. into the murray river is very important for me because as you know without water there is no life. only an agreement between tanzania and kenya will ensure there is a future for surprise of charles and for all the people and wildlife who rely on the river.
