religious conflicts. now members of. the larger. old common ground is empowering women giving them the rules. changed the. way we said. hello and welcome to a new edition of africa. germany n.t.v. in uganda and. i am son reporting from compiler here in uganda

and of course with. hello everybody. and greetings from this part of the world over the next half hour they're about we will be looking at some interesting stories on the environment from europe and the atlantic ocean. the world plan to research the history of the water. back on land and we will take a spin on the bike made from bamboo. for switching to an electric taxi in nairobi the very 1st of its kind in the city. we stopped the show today with the atlantic where a research vessel we certainly made a trip from the far far south to germany it was on a mission to examine the state of the ocean and the effects of climate change a group of students from around the world took part in that research here their findings.

we are hundreds of kilometers west of the moroccan coast 3 weeks ago this research vessel set sail from the falkland islands to germany the students and researchers on board want to know just how serious is the state of the oceans how strong is the impact of climate change fenny i know. studies aquatic bio science in madagascar it's her 1st time on a ship like this she's never done any deep sea sampling before. they teach us how to collect samples from from to device but. we have no idea how to proceed like how to deploy or used. for said before deploying me into the water so it was a bit challenging because you have no idea and at some point it will tell you all you have to tell the crew at that time so it's

a ploy where. the probe is lowered to 5000 meters below the surface where it takes water samples cold water sinks to the bottom of the sea and doesn't mix with upper layers anymore the water that they retrieve from the depths was last exposed to surface weather conditions hundreds of years ago that makes the samples very valuable for determining whether climate change can already be observed far beneath the surface in the labs the students examine the samples for oxygen microorganisms and salinity all values that are influenced by higher temperatures over the past 50 years the ocean has warmed by 0.8 degrees celsius with no end in sight. most of the students come from countries where the effects of climate change are already noticeable mohammed amin hussein studies sea and lake science in belgium in his homeland kenya it's now much too dry in many regions.

of the course lately the little solar option. there's also little we're talk of sea level rise so help people living close to the sea so 'd we all need it but at the same time we look at sea surface temperature so kenya is a tourist country we have people come to to to see the beautiful corals climate change kind of affects us in terms of bleaching water looks. ok so now we can go. to position. the aim is to prepare young people from developing countries for local climate research the students learn things like how to calculate climate models how to determine air pollution based on the reflection of the ocean and how to analyze micro plastics polar research or paper lemkin leads the on board seminar on climate models he says industrialized western countries have a special responsibility for climate protection. we started causing climate change 150 years ago and we're still doing it by a meeting c

o 2 and of course we have to do something to prevent that and that's something that only works when we do it together teaching is such a joy because the younger generation has to and wants to know more about this. office and felony i know from madagascar says taking part has encouraged her to spread environmental awareness in her home country she's discovered how much as possible even without big research projects. before district this amazing trip i had no idea that there's open source. and free software that you can use for. a resource muttering for. satellite image on the lease and and everything so i truly want to share to my company to us that there's a lot that we can do. friendships have formed over the 4 weeks on the ocean the

ship has now reached its destination germany but the students plan to stay in touch with each other when they return home. mohammed ahmed hussein says he'll never forget the experience he hopes to come back next time as a climate researcher i miss the place actually a lot it has been amazing living on board for 4 weeks and now it feels like it's already home in a way and all of that have a piece of me on the polished i'm a scientist hopefully we need to get as we say in my culture people do meet it's only mountains that do not need. how much of you know about silkworms they are recently come from china and are used to produce their use has since bread and they are known being bred in kenya bear the climate crisis is forcing farmers to find alternatives to food crops and one of those options is to produce.

there are the leaves of trees and they are giving hope to farmers in kenya due to the extreme weather patterns of recent years you don't know we know has turned to farming and this is the 26th day and you can see they. are out already spinning. they are making points in other words they have already reached this stage that 2 people stage yes so as the as they spin we have asked our quince the former senior research at the international center of insecure geology and ecology started the venture and 2015 what is left for us in form of corns we shall subject it to post harvesting processes that includes the flow shown of the book

and you know removing their people by inside so that we use very many part of it for producing that red today you don't know we know owns our own 500000 margaret trees planted over 5 because. many of the farmers in the region are following his example in a bid to find a profitable crop to sustain their livelihood their ditching traditional cash crops such as coffee maize or sugar cane we haven't been working. to develop technologies for this ilk. so that we can give their seeds and appropriate market entering elations for. groups. of villages where they cannot. send for the us and we are linking farmers' markets. can you and your soup

production amounts to approximately 2 metric tons of dried coke wins but the potential is far greater the amount of buried trees whose leaves the warms it turn around and resistant to the cord morcha souness's pairing of silk worms for production of raw silk or sorry concha is becoming increasingly popular as a result we have. in the country and in countries where it is. done isn't getting the production is in china. japan. and in india it is. so if you let kenya and you continue to do. it in 96 is also used in the manufacture of skin products contact lenses soaps and woman organic products the national sorry culture

research center is contrary offering from a subsidy plans and marbury cuttings are very subsidized rates and with the help of international investors they are also working to transfer money and help them identify markets. in a few 100 years our goal. how did being just to see if it was poltava ended after that. we study that lot of say culture and. so now we have high technology and. about the we can't use it because. it's too developed and also the crime rate the crime rate in the kenya is much better. japan to take culture and by adopting to the chans in climatic

conditions small scale sent from us like you to we know how fond a way of sustaining their livelihoods. were staying in kenya but moving from the countryside to the capital nairobi public transport very spotty traffic is terrible and horrible it's all about the petrol and diesel that's been for electric vehicles especially 10 up from doing new above sources would certainly make a difference well they were being done on the field they all operated by a subsidiary overseeing nice company echo right on i've been growing believe me. but. you don't see the difference you only hear it or rather you don't. canyon's 1st fully electric car is almost silent. in africa

they can only operate in cities where there's a reliable electricity supply. charging takes about 2 hours. and once fully charged it can travel up to 150 kilometers the battery can last up to 15 years. a finnish company launched its the taxi named not p.r. ride last year in nairobi you can hail it with an app. today the company has 11 vehicles operates. in the kenyan capital. and as the drivers don't have to pay for gasoline they charge less for a ride the normal taxis do. it will take many more electric cars to make a difference to the polluted air in nairobi but it's a start. and how about you. if you are also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us

a tweet hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. why it made a little bungalow not only do they look great but also eco friendly 2 young men from somebody decided to bring the idea over from africa and so the bikes in the country we've grown folks as we went to meet at the entry of menu is to know that something will not. kill in northern germany is a city of boats and bikes. but even here the 2 bikes ridden by maximillian shy and . stand out from the rest. their frames are made of bamboo. the harvester states people always ask does it hold up that many people knock on it

of their promise cloth right and then they'll knock on it to see if it really is bamboo or just painted metal those are the top to reactions when people see these bikes. the 2 men discovered bamboo in 2012 as students today launched their my boo company their idea to help produce sustainable bikes in ghana and sell them in europe. the finishing touches are made in germany they say bamboo is ideal for bicycles. bamboo is a long grained grass unlike other materials normally used for bicycles belong graymail. for a tougher exterior but low weight in very high flexibility construction scaffolding in asia for instance can be very high and flexible in the wind yet it's extremely stable and that's why it's used for scaffolding in asia and for bicycle frames that our company offered. the men from keel work with a local project in ghana helping to set up a bicycle frame factory. bamboo is

a commonly used material in the region it's ready for harvest in just 3 years. about 80 man hours go into making each frame more than 40 jobs were created the profits go to finance building a new school only give money to the idea was not to have our own production in ghana but to work with a great partner there on an equal footing they take the production into their own hands with the raw material that grows there and they know the local people culture and customs when we finish and market the product in europe they don't and the report often mark think. they're not the only ones making bicycles from natural materials the tubes for this bicycles frame are made of flax fiber various manufacturers are also making bikes out according. to the us rudolph builds bicycles from natural products in berlin many hours of work go into each bike even so he doesn't see these materials as real competition

for metal. as long as natural materials involve lots of manual labor they have no chance you'll never reach a price where the general public says yes i want that bicycle the bamboo bicycles by my crew cost from 15024500 euros many buyers use them as alternatives to their cars. i know that bicycles have their price i don't want to be supporting a social and sustainable product the bike was worth every cent to me. before. but are bamboo bikes really eco friendly after all the frames are shipped to germany all the way from ghana. $100.00 for sustainability 3 components are essential to us there's the environmental aspect of course but just as important is the social and the economic sustainability it's not enough it's quite enough which aficionados covered over the it's a great compromise to say it's

a step in the right direction it's all our social commitment is 100 percent and ecologically ours are a cut above any other bicycle. bicycles made of natural materials are both attractive and sustainable. green spaces are right in the ethiopian capital addis ababa but the zone museum exhibition space on garden which . is a green. zone. for more links between artistic and the environment the stick of. the rainy season has started and those oh my garden is re joisting this. is the newest addition to cultural spaces and the creation of mess graham and her friend us here architecture in nature are celebrated together these ecological huts turned into works of art were built using an ancient construction technique. process where you actually get the

subsoil you have to dig about half a metre before you get the soil the only thing you add is water and stroll for about a month and it lasts for hundreds and hundreds of years it's. controlled so in so many ways it's one of the best i think sustainable houses surrounded by a labyrinth of plants most of which are endemic a dream come true for mask around. the dangers underneath but this is what it looks like. is often dipped into coffee. and this plant has strong medicinal virtues. in a city where concrete highrises are growing like mushrooms the zalman museum is a space for humans to breathe and for nature to grow in the city is going fast i think. in the right direction many of the trees are.

dying out. of the air is polluted or even complete me poisoned we're all affected one way or another we're all connected through the environment. reconnecting humans to the environment is precisely the aim of the zone must cool. new shot several times a week these young children come in small groups and take care of the zouma garden and its farm. the school is open to all. but only the most privileged can afford the fees. the students when in this age they have to learn about their gardens yes we shall hear about their foods it's organic they can they can see and that kind of and paste it so they know about it and feel it's getting to the. despite these multiple facets of this all museum has not said its last word yet more than 40 bridges are waiting for international

artists to transform them into works of art after his recent visit prime minister might ask for the garden to be extended an encouraging show of political support for the project only a couple months after its grand opening. zimbabwe's changing climate means that farmers are being forced to look for new ways to make a living some have now started to breed free range chickens why is that n.t. well these animals are majors pest control they feed on insects and food waste now a national organization is encouraging more farmers to take up the chicken breeding we went to meet some families who are doing just that to find out why and how they are getting on. there's no guarantee that sinecure we do based fields will produce enough for her to eat. here in north western zimbabwe

farmers are already feeling the effects of climate change. things aren't like they were in previous years. the weather is different now. for one thing we used to get rain from october to december but now we get little to none in the past there was enough rain for our crops and cattle but that's all changed. to make sure she'll have enough to eat in future scene the queue has bought some hens. she feeds them kitchen waste. because they can run about freely they can also forage for food. about an hour's drive south close to the city of. french hens are being bred commercially their meat has become trendy in restaurants in zimbabwe's towns and cities. it's said to be tastier than the meat of battery reared hands. used to be

a vegetable farmer then she decided to take on free range hens as well today an expert on free range breeding has come to give her tips on getting even more out of her farm the cookbook breed is good for both eggs and meat production so it's very popular among breeders but it's important not to rely on just one breed there's a. different breeds. that. we want to. produce that. the eggs here don't go to market there's a more lucrative use for them they're being incubated it just under 38 degrees celsius for 3 weeks it's the chicks are sold for your piece to. farmers who want to start their own free range operations sales here come to about a 1000 euros

a month but nonetheless energy costs are so high that maka is planning to switch to solar power electricity is facing you just live television is because we use electricity forced it in a way they said is they have to be so honest so we saw it in that heat so that it becomes that he hands but not with the income is when he found out it's not very expensive to run it in that it doesn't age to 10 callous energy may be costly but waste from the fields is free it's used to feed the hens. their droppings are used to fertilize the fields this is organic cultivation and the farm is already supplying 3 supermarkets with vegetables. beauty gigi spends much time traveling throughout some bob her efforts are paying off some $5000.00 farmers have already joined the zimbabwe free range poultry association but she

wants to recruit more of them and for that she's prepared to workshop in a clear and simple way beauty gigi's shows villagers the environmental and financial benefits of raising different breeds on a large scale. a new one in the farm kids cut that price we thought if up. but the door bit that they had and secondly it it's an investment into price. it doesn't need complicated house seeing it doesn't need complicated breeds or feed you could use the available materials. the farmers tend to be cautious even if the hens do generate cash they want to keep the costs down. earthworms are one type of fodder that comes for free and raising them in

a mash of kitchen waste cattle dung and moisture means they can reproduce easily. so how to lack of awareness of these programs is why interest among my peers is. many would rather leave to seek employment elsewhere take part in the project i'll do my best to convince them it's worthwhile to get involved it's a chance to develop a meaningful livelihood jobs are hard to come by nowadays. then at sundown something odd happens something that never ceases to amuse the villagers their free range hens all take to the trees to settle down for their night's rest. this has a beneficial side effect the trees in which the hens sleep are valued by the villagers and are therefore rarely cut down. and that's it for the day thank you for watching you can always find out more and this is us on our social media platforms goodbye from me. and from me in kampala we hope we've given
