people whose lives have been changed with the help of technology. but we starts in iran where there's increasing opposition to the regime and activists are looking for allies abroad which. just town do angry citizens voice their opposition in an all star terry and country like iran. for months that have been regular protests against the government in tehran it's in turn has often responded with brutal force. then in early january the u.s. announced it had killed kasem sulaimani iran's top general. images of rallies with hundreds of thousands of grief stricken iranians was seen around the world many of them may have attended under pressure from a government came to present a nation united against america. in response tehran targeted u.s.

military bases and accidentally shot down a ukrainian passenger jet killing all $176.00 on board and triggering more anti-government protests within iran many iranians abroad have also long been vocal about their opposition to the regime. in frankfurt at least iranians can enjoy a concert in freedom. there eagerly awaiting iran's biggest pop star goodish she's been a singer for more than 50 years. but also explains some of the new styles or that arrangements feel about to get goose reminds them of the time before the islamic revolution many hope to hear her perform at home again one day as a woman she can't sing on stage in iran. only here. i hope that one day i'll be able to give a concert in iran on after all i'm

a singer for a and. i think for them. it only really makes sense if i can sing in iran even on my own could. after the islamic revolution remained in iran for 20 years and didn't sing then she left the country and began performing again at her recent concerts she's been showing videos of the regime's brutal crackdowns on street protests. you know michel the demonstrators are also taking to the streets because they can't even afford bread they go out on the street and protest and they're killed for that. why do young people who have done nothing but demonstrate have to die. for. the cutting to reuters news agency about 1500 people were killed during 2 weeks of

unrest in november 2900 thousands were imprisoned that didn't stop demonstrators coming out again at the start of the year they're chanting away with a revolutionary god leave our country in peace. we are prisoners in this country where imprisoned god save us anyone who can please save our children i have small children please rescue them from this country. you know the protests were again brutally put down people no longer dead to give interviews this message was sent to us by phone the secret police here have an extremely effective system after the protests they look at photos and mobile phone videos to identify everyone who was there and they arrest them. right now while you want to protest against islamic republic it's means that you have to risk your

life why because you're not sure if you take this 3 days you can to get back home you're not sure if you going to get injured you're going to get killed or you going to get into prison or you will be disappear. matthioli an agenda gives a voice to many in iran she was invited to the world economic forum in davos switzerland to speak about human rights in her homeland iran's foreign minister zarif canceled his attendance at short notice citing changes to the schedule. received thousands of videos from iran which she posts online she says protests in the country are growing more frequent which is putting pressure on the regime how foreign minister they're sorry could face international community looking into their eyes and deny all the massacres and killings and putting 7000 people in jail for me i think this is the thing they are very which. members of the iranian

opposition in europe hope to exploit this weakness they found it be a ranch transition council or the sea to bring together iranian dissidents at home and abroad in germany green party m.e.p. all made nouri pour invited them to a meeting at the border stark. reality of the council says the regime can't survive without a stable economy little army saugus the system in iran the system has lost its economic basis they don't even have the money to pay their civil servants the teachers workers the military the revolutionary guard they no longer have the money of those years. or made nouri poor says the time has come for europe to stand by its violence. trauma of the drug war in iran not to kill it some people and he's right even if it's not that credible given that he's banned iranians from entering the us i wish that europe would issue statements like this with their credibility

and with it the session took place behind closed doors afterwards we were told that the meeting may have ended but the talks will continue. in iran smart phones have become an essential tool for protesters and in fact many of us can no longer imagine life without our on the go access to emails streaming out and messaging there are an estimated 3200000000 smartphone users worldwide and last year alone uses downloaded around 204000000000 apps. most at providers whether those behind games shopping or social media wraps primarily interested in downloads advertising and of course profits. but there are app developers with another aim in mind they want to use technology to help others with the migrants children or people with disabilities this week in our workplace series we meet 2 of

them in germany and in india. the streets of berlin trigger memories of her old life maria bakker is just 17 but she's already been through a lot she used to be homeless a rough sleeper drug user eventually ended up in rehab it's not easy for her to talk about her past she doesn't say exactly what happened just that there were problems with her mother. as. we didn't get on i used to live in life then when i was 13 i moved into a flat chair. i kept on running away from there regularly for long periods and then i ended up on the street 1st and then berlin and then hamburg. maria always had her cell phone and made things easier because at some point she stumbled upon markley an online service for the homeless provides

a kind of city map places to sleep shower doctors and advice centers as. they use the app. to see for example where i could get food or find help. there's also an s.o.s. button that activates a whatsapp group. and if you have an urgent problem you can taxed and they'll find a solution. it turns out in there as a minor you just can't go up to someone and say i'm homeless where can i go to get help this i have keeps you anonymous no one knows stuff like how old you are. and not for people in urgent need of help but it's also the focus of this gathering in india 2 hours north of mumbai these women are professional state approved health

workers there they are in train to use a rockier saki an app that will soon be helping them to treat their patients pregnant women young mothers and their babies. the idea for the app came from aparna head a gynecologist from mumbai who is also the founder of the energy our mom. aparna has seen several women died during pregnancy or in childbirth and says those deaths could have been prevented with better medical care and is it included agnostic who takes the work out with the symptoms the signs the diagnostic test to be what formed at the end hard one for this fact there's the mother a child has what she can do with head the mother and child and then she has to therefore and what is an emergency to what happens is that this part is very orderly and mother the children's lives. with the help of the. some 18000 pregnant women young mothers and babies have already been treated in

villages in the state of maharashtra it documents information on things like health checkups which medication is appropriate or how the women are doing after they've given it also provides brief films with basic information for expectant mothers the figures indicate the extent of the need it's standard practice in india for a woman to receive for medical checkups to. pregnancy but even in urban centers just 31 percent of all women are able to access the full service or regions that figure drops to only 17 percent. an online service for the homeless in germany in the offices of karuna and aid organization for young people in berlin on train noida it was motivated by practical concerns such as what's the best way to help youngsters who end up on the

street and above all what's the simplest way to reach them. it's the. first question was whether or not homeless youngsters have smartphones and of course many do young people who live on the streets often see their phones as the final link to friends or home and view them as the most valuable possession that it's not just a status symbol it's a multi-functional device that also provides a flashlight for music and so on it is. a smartphone based service can help many people there are some 237000 homeless in germany of those an estimated 19008 percent children or young people under the age of 18. people like maria baca she now lives in a small hostel run by karuna giving her the opportunity to lead a normal life again. she has no idea how things would have worked out without the

online service. the discomforts it's more difficult to find something without the ads particularly if you're under 18 and most people just call the police if they see a kid living on the street. but you don't really want to end up with the police or even with the children's emergency service really. consistent person for in principle we are an advocacy group lobbying for homeless young people and there are plenty of lobby groups and advocacy groups in germany but not for those right at the bottom of the social scale. to represent and help them is something society should aspire to do. this is the small village of right tyler a 2 hour drive north of mumbai here it feels like we're

a world away from maternity and the nearest hospital that explains the excitement whenever jadhav pays a visit she's one of the iraq your sarky advisers by she's known here stops by the home of a villager who's 8 months pregnant a service like this is exceptional in rural regions of india she's brought along a blood pressure monitor and most importantly a tablet with her health app says about what i do when though i order. before the hour i wasn't very well informed. and i treated my patients with very basic medication that they have perhaps me identify problems more accurately it indicates what i should do in a particular situation for example if the issue is serious enough to require a trip to the hospital and they hear. of skilling existing government health workers we're not getting a bad law system these health workers are any of it connected to the health system

and hence the other children the so are better. also this program can continue in the future even without our support. team elash will have her baby in a few weeks although she was initially worried about giving birth now she's confident everything will be fine. i don't guess again my nana might have that line admitted the lady from this it's me every month at home. better than what it actually examines me and enters all the information into the up. i know that if something's wrong the app will immediately inform my health worker so she can react straight away. he's back on the road she's responsible for 7 villages in the region and the next patient a few kilometers away is already waiting. and now it's time for something savory this week's global snack comes from the

philippines. i.x.'s a poor neighborhood northeast of the capital manila is where nini a largo house or snack bar. it's mostly hungry workers who come here they want food that is fast cheap and filling. the chef specializes in the popular snack lugo a bowl cost $10.00 pesos that's not even 20 euro cents. you'll go along with rice porridge with chicken and rice and i use chicken feet because they're very affordable for everyone. anyone can buy it so affordable that even children can buy it as a snack. only. in

a big part sticky rice and regular rice or boiled together to form a thick cruel. the chicken feet provide the flavor. along with congealed chicken blood on the kitchen secret ingredient. we on cubes. after cooking for an hour the rice porridge is ready it's garnished with garlic and the juice of color mansi law i'm. here i'm from. filipinos traditionally eat 5 meals a day new guy was a popular morning or afternoon snack. even considered a home remedy for colds. i mean look goriest the typical call of filipinos just be like you hard feeling food

whenever it rains you know and even if it is hot you think it is still true to the highways although still true to the look of. that day i mean i manage with my mother used to cook every morning. that's why i try to eat it every day. i know. some regions in the philippines also have a sweet version of lugo but here in pioche us customers love the spicy taste no matter what the time of day. 2 and now in global ideas we are off to kenya the east african country has a high domestic energy demand and in many sectors including the t.v. industry people are keen to find alternatives to fossil fuels can be africa's leading. in kerry chair county our colleague canadia bowman discovered several

processing companies that are using sustainable energy sources from the local area . sunshine. vibrant green extends as far as the eye can see. the fields are covered in. which grow very well here. this is kenya's most important growing region. that has a plantation here he's one of 600000 smallholder farmers who work with the kenya tea development agency. t. has provided his family with a good living t. .

and. t. from his farm is processed just a few kilometers away and the factory which is also affiliated with. the workers 1st separate the tea leaves into equally sized batches afterwards they're dried in a process that takes several steps. the drying process requires boilers like these they consume a great deal of firewood. most of this wood comes from the factories own plantation . trees are growing scarce and. 2 years ago the government imposed a moratorium on logging in public forests. and that's also why the factory uses

burkhead. a number of countries have begun exploring the biomass. as a promising source of energy. this and it's also very easy to transport. and from units we told. them. that he factory has already been able to replace one 5th of its what consumption with bearcats they're hoping to increase that amount ideally making firewood unnecessary. but a c.e.o. diaz chavez has visited several t. factories. she's having a project to investigate whether switching to pick cats would make tea production more sustainable. that entails assessing the various processing steps such as fermentation as well as analyzing the entire production chain. how

much raw material and how much energy is consumed to tain the final product. percepts mint draws on 24 criteria that researchers developed a number of years ago. we look at not just at them vironment tell us about we are looking also for this so shout economic and even afford that this on governance or policy and regulations so we consider. off the whole sustainability assets and. this is suspect has to be done for that he production and also for the bearcats. that's why the renewable energy specialist is visiting this factory. sugarcane by products are often simply dumped at the roadside where they rot and emit the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane. but here they're turned into

a valuable resource. the same language circular economy so this is what we want to promote with bio energy and by economy how you can really have a rounded cycle for the biomass. huge amounts of this waste are produced during sugar production 100 tons of waste can be turned into roughly 45 tonnes of briquettes 1st the sugarcane back us has to be dried and shredded. and then it's molded into parkhead under high pressure. since they're made out of a waste product no additional land has to be put under cultivation that's a key indicator for sustainability transportation emissions are also taken into account the way they're working is really to consider radius where they can they can leave their debris get chaffed long as they are within the 100 to max even 200

kilometers is still it in that range that the emissions are not too high for transport. in this case the raw material doesn't have far to travel. a large sugarcane mill is located just a few kilometers from the park at factory. the workers dry some of the sugar cane back us by hand that also provides a regular source of income. one of the sustainability criteria takes job creation into account and also the extent to which women benefit the production of sugarcane briquettes is now an emerging industry here. at any one day we have about 80 to 90 ladies driving we went by gas for haas so you can see all of you have created a job of about 180 to 200 people a month. although the park has offered many benefits only a few factories are using them they don't have the necessary experience and training. and that's why the tab

a sonic. factory is conducting training sessions workers from other companies come here to learn how to best combine bearcats and work so as not to overload their boilers and to phase out firewood as much as possible. that would help preserve the remaining woodlands and protect biodiversity it would also benefit the tea plantations and the farmers. farmers who are affiliated with a like is a keep it cure we might soon be able to profit in a different way to. become. expensive and the money and the money saved goes through the promise last year the price of tea fell on the world market. every cent counts.
