the car that used to bring a solution and reforestation. to create interactive content teaching the next generation about environmental protection and we're determined to build something here for the next generation i want to use the multimedia environment series on g.w. . welcome to global $3000.00 cattle ranching is devastating brazil's natural environment yet so far there are a few sustainable alternatives. adulterant entrepreneur ernest cole is determined to revolutionize africa's health care system using big data. first there we head to chile to find out why hundreds of thousands of citizens are taking to

the streets. angry protests and widespread and rest he could lead demonstrating across south america they're calling for an end to corruption and social inequality some are alleging election fraud bolivia's president has already been toppled event as well as is in the midst of a power struggle and in chile hundreds of thousands of people are demanding constitutional and economic reform as well as a higher basic wage and affordable health care. the trade union flag that francisco is carrying is well worn it has been carried a loft at every strike if i party so sport workers. out of the flag maybe it could now be leading the workers into a new future. for you. president pinera has to go it's going to be difficult but we'll succeed. by marching for my children they're
1:32 am
still young and i want them to have a better future to have the chance to go to college and find a good job i love all. conservative president sebastian pinera is the target of the people's anger his pro-business policies have led to strong economic growth but many people have been left behind income inequality is high a program of extensive privatization since the early one $980.00 s. the seen prices soar for many services piñera out. no more pain yet or perish for treats year and their son santiago live on a hillside overlooking the bay of. the old town is a unesco world heritage site that is popular with tourists still life is tough for many people here and has been considerable unrest. even middle class
1:33 am
professionals like to treat who are architects can hardly make ends meet. but i'm assuming. a 5th of what we meant goes on our private medical insurance that if you fall seriously ill you have to pay more on top to get treated son was sick and we had to spend 2 weeks income on his treatment to set in chile health is not a right but a privilege. is. one factor behind a declining birthrate is the fact that life has become so expensive but reach in every say they doubt they'll have any more children. having only one child means we can truly provide for him a good school that we have to pay for good health care that we have to pay for we can afford that with $1.00 child but with 2 or 3 it would be very difficult. you know they're going to go south in my view. such basic choices are constrained by

the economic conditions in chile many people feel they have no power over their own lives and are subject to a harsh unjust system. is also a painter and uses art to express his feelings that. my paintings show this explosion but the colors are in part translucent and in part opaque if you don't know what's going on behind them. the red stands for the shots that have been fired at me. 40 people have been killed and i feel anger and anxiety these feelings need to find expression of what we're seeing on the streets is a rebellion. we're never really on the colors of rebellion this anger is also visible in the capital santiago. protesters have posted photos of some of those killed during the unrest. they blame the police some protesters have also committed acts of violence torching shops and bus stops.
1:35 am
rocks and rubble they used as makeshift weapons crews are meant to remove them for the next demonstration but rarely managed to keep pace. in valparaiso most demonstrations have been peaceful but there have been violent clashes there too. at a bar near the harbor carousing soon gives way to calls of piniella moscow the main rallying cry and we demand reforms and a new constitution. at the counter we meet francisco who's here with his dock worker colleague martin. we need new politicians who come from our social class and understand our lives. where angry everything's getting more expensive people have to take out loans just
1:36 am
to get by how can families feed their children if 2 incomes still aren't enough people it's a common problem protesters blame neoliberalism and privatisation services and goods are expensive wages and pensions are low up the hill we witnessed an example of grassroots democratic initiative and open can't build a council it's rather like a time when eating it's a traditional institution in parts of south america and is now enjoying a revival here. we want to create a better chile starting with this kind of micro politics we want to initiate the process of drafting a new constitution it shouldn't be some grand document written by others it should be generated by the people. out of. the treaty and eraser also at the meeting they say it's time to show solidarity so in the with their view that we've been focused on living our own lives for too long oblivious to what's going on
1:37 am
around us that's what neo liberalism has done to us we have to change that. the constitution in trying his economic model and the primacy of private property the prospect of a sudden about turn is slim but the concessions on pensions and taxes offered so far by the government have not satisfied the protesters they're demanding more fundamental changes to the system prosperity for all their dreams. inadequate health care is a big concern in many places around the world according to the world health organization a 3rd of all countries have less than one doctor for every $1000.00 residents that leaves home off of the global population with no access to decent medical care the situation is particularly pertinent when it comes to fighting h.i.v. aids in africa alone 26000000 people are positive 2 thirds of the world's cases
1:38 am
but one entrepreneur in south africa's cape town is determined to revolutionize the continent's house caste system. but i stuck all lives in capetown south africa. he has an m d n a master's in public health from harvard and an m.b.a. from oxford. but he always knew he wanted to work in africa. with literally one of the most richest them a fireworks car that there are you can imagine. although i technically don't have what i call a home country in africa because of my whole life i really do feel africa as a whole is my home and i am a product of africa. this is really a place where i feel like i've been by a woman and i can make the biggest difference. doc who is visiting a new clinic for transgender patients he's an expert in public health care
1:39 am
management his company's broad reach is helping the clinic optimize it. operations . many of the patients are or have been sex workers many are hiv positive there's still a lot of stigma attached to transgender in south africa and health care has been sparse. but here both patients and staff are accepted for who they are having power . to love it to do it myself i don't live in new york i decided to get out of the boxes in this belief is that hey let's me. let's me. get you back into your pocket then you see you're going to become of the really. really many transgender people struggle to survive there's an urgent need for access to care and counseling the family said abandon them the community has
1:40 am
abandoned them for they've no they've no support from anybody and a lot of them say when we go out in the community we do outreach thing that yes that is the interview program we do need the services the health care if there was but it can we start at us as a human being you know me as wanting to be a female broad reach will analyze patient data from the clinic in order to establish what issues have to be addressed. it is critical for us to always be able to focus on population that are the most need and to bring our services to bear for them to make a tangible difference in their lives our feel like if we if we are not helping those who are more hardly done by the most marginalised from services then work you are doing our job as a company transgender people are just one of several constituencies that are marginalized and hard done by unemployment is around 30 percent overall and 55
1:41 am
percent for young people in south africa the world bank says it's the country with the highest level of economic. in the wild. while the constitution says health care is a basic right the public health care system that serves the vast majority of the population is sorely overstretched. h.i.v. aids for example continues to be a major problem the usa has 1000000 people with hiv 1000000 south africa you know 8000000 alone 3400000 so meaning one province and south africa have 3 times the amount of data or the whole of the u.s. and ernest dark always convinced that better data can help optimize health care for example if a district knows how many residents are hiv positive they'll know what medications will be needed and when you think about it it's all again about data and your ability to receive that data and when you don't have this data available in essence
1:42 am
you are failures of care and largely speaking across the african continent at the moment you have massive massive failure of care broad reach uses artificial intelligence in its mission to strengthen and deliver health care services to under-served populations it's growing fast and now advises governments donors implementers and the private sector. look at the scale of the musician right now it sometimes feels quite unbelievable because when we started little of the founders and i volunteer and we finally won a 1st contract or able to be in a volunteer will be here our 1st employee and then now fast forward from 2003 to now 2900 and we're over 1200 people and so it's quite the quite the enterprise at the moment poverty and social inequality i exacerbated by inefficient health care management in the right hands big data can help make
1:43 am
medical care more efficient and treat more patients across africa. brazil is home to the world's largest rain forest its wellbeing is essential for our planet's climate and biodiversity but cattle are a major threat there were just under 215000000 of them in brazil in 2018 cattle farming is responsible for 80 percent of brazil's deforestation and the destruction has accelerated this year. brazil is the world's biggest beef producer last year the south american nation exported $1640000.00 tons of it most of brazil's capital of found in march so gross so that's where a sustainable alternative is most desperately needed. this is a daily pastime for these youngsters herding cattle on the share convoy as they
1:44 am
call it here they've grown up with the animals. cattle breeding is king here in this region. out of the rest or i mean it's a policy in the north of the brazilian state of martyr grosso is located in the amazon biome and it's cowboy country many locals say that 30 years ago there was nothing here by nothing they mean rain forest since then they've opened the land for development and they're proud of that because we have a they came here with the government's encouragement they were encouraged to be forced encouraged to cultivate the land their new laws were passed and they were told they couldn't clear the forest anymore but 1st they're supposed to cut down the trees now they're supposed to reforest some areas that change of course is lead to conflict. this conflict is a reality across much of the region the soil on many farms is no longer productive
1:45 am
enough to support cattle one cow requires a hector of land that's land that doesn't go toward feeding people and the environmental cost is high with the forests gone the cattle roam freely destroying the remaining vegetation and polluting this brings. us there was a massive situation here is completely backward. this area should never have come under cultivation it's a permanent nature conservation. there shouldn't be any cattle here and it should never have been deforested. this is how it looks on most farms in the area because this is how the animals get access to water that's why we want to bring the water to the cattle rather than the cattle to the water there was any. law may cause company packs or aims to transform cattle ranching here in compliance
1:46 am
with environmental laws he and his partners came up with the idea and it's urgently needed. it all started 3 years ago on this ranch the soil has been repaired initially and there's a new production model it involves a fenced in paddock rotational grazing and most importantly a new source of water and a special cattle feed. oh no cells i've ever put his faith in the call the environmental conservationist as many here view him the experiment paid off now the ranch consisting 3500 head of cattle a larger hurdle much less land and they're ready for slaughter after just 2 years. this is how the cattle management works. when the grass has reached a height of about one metre or 80 centimeters we let the cattle into the paddock.
1:47 am
they eat the best part of the grass the leafy part of the top. half to 2 or 3 days we close battle paddock and open the gate to the next one where the grass has reached the optimal height. in the mean time the other pasture areas can recover this system is easier on the soil the farmers also grow a different type of grass than is usual for the region mombassa grass is rich in protein but requires the grazing cattle to be rotated regularly. it's changed a lot the entire area you see year was totally degraded for 25 years all we did was exploit the land until it could hardly produce anything anymore. through the partnership with pex we've turned it into a flourishing garden for the cattle and productivity has increased a lot it's practically quadrupled.
1:48 am
the land around the springs and on the river margins has been reforested in some cases even more than the law demands according to the cold water for the cattle is now piped into the pastures from the basin improved water quality also helps increase year old rehabilitated soil can take up more c o 2 and the modified fodder means that cattle produce less meeting packs his business model aims to reap both environmental protection and profits the company helps increase yields and in return received a large share of the surplus for 6 years so remediation is expensive it requires several passes with heavy machinery and large quantities of nutrients the added lime alone amounts to one term perfecter. the ranch is a big we're not talking about farms of 10 or 20 hectares we're talking about ranches of $700.00 hectares or more that quickly brings costs to about
1:49 am
a $1000000.00 and a half price more than 300000 euros. that's a sum that most ranchers can't come up with on their own. what happens then ranchers who can't afford to invest such large sums risk going under and that makes them easy prey for the soybean lobby it's an increasing presence in the region and benefits from the current political climate in the country. the focus of this event bringing together producers and politicians is expanding the agricultural front. in his speech the district chairman says the region takes great pride in its potential for growth. but he says out of la arrest there was once a city of gold prospectus and log is now it's become a center of cattle ranching and finally agribusiness is moving into he says.
1:50 am
the widespread view here still is that only the forested land is productive land forests cost tax money and don't bring in. the packs of founders take a pragmatic approach they don't expect we forestation to happen on a grand scale here but it can succeed on a small scale and chip away at entrenched beliefs. our main argument in favor of reforestation is the protection of water sources what use is a cattle ranch if you have no water on your land that's a strong argument to win them over. the idea is that it's better to preserve the region's cattle ranches if they shut down new ranches will crop up elsewhere and that will bring more deforestation livestock farming doesn't look set to disappear any time soon. with us brits are in synch with many forecasts indicate
1:51 am
that global beef consumption will continue to rise for decades to come. that production has to come from somewhere. all the studies suggest that the place with the greatest potential for meeting this demand is brazil and the amazon region. so we have a choice where do we produce we say it should be done on land that's already been deforested and on those areas we can increase productivity by a factor of 237 or even 10. days this is. in the amazon alone there are an estimated 12000000 hector's of degraded parched land but office lots of potential for sustainable and profitable land management. from brazil's male dominated cattle industry we now shift to the traditionally male preserve of football in egypt however ever more women are taking to the pitch.
