beneficiaries locals are largely losing out. the 1st to go to a place that sees future risks one area of south africa's cape town is in the grip of gangs. it's been 26 years since apartheid ended and yet more than half of all south africans still live in poverty that's around $13000000.00 people unemployment is rife over 50 percent of young south africans a job less with no prospects in sight some resorts to illegal activities south africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world violent crime in particular has increased steadily over the past 10 years. the situation in cape town is especially troubling tourist stick closely to the small bay area below table mountain the majority of locals however live in the cape flats.
1:32 am
we're out on patrol with the anti gang unit. special task force gang crime in the poorer districts of the cape flats on the outskirts of cape town we're going to the . border. filed by. the team drive to a building that's home to the leader of the corner glorious a notorious coward. heavily armed officers stormed the building and turn the entire apartment upside down. they find large sums of cash 12800 south african round you quibble and about 800 euros. that is now being sealed. you understand the process i explained to you it will be
1:33 am
an inquiry. as to how you look in the money. the police also find drugs hidden in mailboxes outside the building they are packaged into small bundles ready for sale. and that is what this is this money is about because she says this money she sells washing positive that in the book is people who over money and. live in falls in the 4 simple rule is this. the officers don't find any weapons but they suspect they're out on the streets. more than a 1000000 people live in the cape flats. gangs have a hold on the area and the murder rate is one of the highest in the world. the army has been on patrol here since july 29th. but the death toll continues to rise.
1:34 am
we're driving through gang territory a landscape that shaped by poverty drugs and violence there are a few prospects for the young people growing up here many of whom join gangs of an early age. an intermediary puts us in touch with a gang we meet with a few members in lotus river what if. no one is forced to become a gangster so they say everyone is free to make their own decision so why did they become gangsters. to become a gang. well i go up in the environment. and go. i'm doing the same thing with. the matter of fact way the 23 year old talks about murder is disturbing. if i get mad i will. go over there kill.
1:35 am
one so. while in some murder are part of their lives says renee he too is just 23 years old. but themselves. she was really wedeman no. it's a war but also kills innocent bystanders often children people who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. others are targeted if they want the guns activities in some way. like avril andrew sun our cargo. dealers apparently wanted to sell drugs outside his family's home avril
1:36 am
tells us that her son tried to stop them one evening he said he needed to go out he left his phone at someone's house i'm wanted to pick it up after remembers that it was hard for him to say goodbye to the family the nice eyes were full of tears and i see that i have to you know yet innocently stand with now don't go fishing it is not ok and he said that i have to go fishing because i'm worried they my phone is in the in the hands of somebody that i don't trust and the 2 minutes after that something came to say it was. no average andrews chose not to feel bitter she set up a foundation in order to help others. every woman here shares the traumatic experience of having lost a son their stories are all unique but also tragically similar. to the
1:37 am
1st showed me and also. if you don't know what. goes in there. the sake of the show if you would still try to figure that in the. subject probably don't they would. they win if they did it between the 2 shooting at each other. in the heat anyway. so. some of the perpetrators are still at large i just opened but i. just as. well put away for all the children who's losing their lives in the cape. and i think. all the innocent all the small children babies. just as. they must do something. like this.
1:38 am
after all andrew's world simply sit around and wait she set up a soup kitchen funded by donations on her own money around 200 people come here every day. after all talks to the young people i'm trying to help them find a way out of the violence. we can save everyone all at once she says but maybe one after the other. in 2013 china announced its belts and wrote an issue called the new silk road the aim is to expand trade links between asia africa and europe so far china has spent around 180000000000 euros on the project the final cost is estimated to reach about $900000000000.00 while they read some concerns about china's expanding power many countries welcomed the cash injection individuals however are experiencing the down
1:39 am
the signs of chinese investment like in cambodia. pung syrian says she doesn't want to get used to what sihanoukville has become. there's been dirt trash and construction waste everywhere for 3 years. she shows us where her fruit and vegetable shop used to be. it's now a restaurant the chinese owner was willing to pay $3.00 times as much rent as her. reception is a little frosty. my shop used to be here pantelis hana the new owner doesn't understand any. he is a translation app to try and communicate with her on the screen it says that his business isn't doing that well. it makes me sad this shop with my life i earn decent money here i could even save some now everything's changed. to we're not. punks house is still here
1:40 am
surrounded by skyscrapers cranes and building sites she now runs a small online shop from her smartphone she gets inquiries nearly every week from chinese buyers who want her plot of land but pung wants to stay here even though she feels completely surrounded. by. buildings that scare me and there's constant shaking and noise. and i don't think the buildings are all that sturdy one of them collapse the other day i'm a. little remains of the ones tranquil port town of c.n.n. the. chinese construction companies have transformed the place into a tourist magnet with hundreds of hotels and casinos. most of the workers come from china. a chinese supermarket chain has opened
1:41 am
a branch here their product range is tailored to the needs of the chinese workers and most of the profits here end up in the hands of the chinese. as night falls a sea of bright lights illuminates the city. more than 60 newly built casinos lurch chinese gamblers to cambodia gambling is illegal for cambodian citizens but we still meet plenty in the city center after all these casinos made a lot of staff. cambodians run the gambling tables and serve the guests some of them have managed to. profit from the huge changes in their city. speaking only in terms of money on have a slightly better life now a bit more income. maybe my family will even come here to like. yes buy i don't like the way things have developed here but as far as the money goes it's ok. the face of c.n.n.
1:42 am
has been completely transformed by the gambling industry and chinese funded construction projects. but the provincial governor maintains that this is a bill into the area. they say by then it might be hard to imagine right now but we will soon have a modern on magnificent city we're making the city a small city right at that moment there's a blackout the grid is overloaded again but the governor carries on regardless we have everything under control he says. here on the outskirts of the city is a small settlement for 50 families the government relocated people here who are getting in the way of the smart city project before they're forced resettlement they were all living on valuable plots of land in the city center. the land was taken from them and used for hotels and casinos. like that of the. mall prandial it's so unfair i feel helpless these people are so powerful. it's
1:43 am
a huge injustice that this area here is totally deserted when i can keep a few chickens but otherwise i can't earn any money i met. her husband is a motorbike taxi driver and now has a long journey to work he usually drives chinese tourists around. he takes us along and shows us where he and his family lived for 30 years. his 6 children grew up here it was a tight knit community. houses have now been torn down. city authorities revoked his right to live on the property. but. it's heartbreaking to stand here. i don't know what weighs more heavily. i'm just speechless. i was a soldier i worked hard for this country look what they're doing here. is this the
1:44 am
thanks i get. for song and others like him it's a bitter pill to swallow. this weekend global ideas we head to one of the world's most popular tourist destinations the caribbean behind visitor numbers are taking a toll on the natural environment they are reported to have shalem back went to the dominican republic to find out what's happening above and below the water he made some worrying discoveries but also met people who were working hard to 10 things around. the wrong foot of the only road that finally some fish but they've worked for days for this whole the fishes have been doing this job their whole lives here off the coast of punta cana in the east of the dominican republic.
1:45 am
well over 8 time now and they used to make good money doing this little bit of. that money. back to before things are getting harder and harder fishing isn't the same as it used to be here business is really bad. the 1st ones this looks like a decent cottage but 10 years ago it would have been twice the size. the reason lies here the entire coast of the dominican republic is lined with coral reefs around 90 percent of them to be the dying or severely damaged. the water temperature is rising because of climate change this makes the corals weaker and more vulnerable to pollution and human activity. this is how everything looks about the surface. amounts tourism.
1:46 am
i the country attracts 6 and a half 1000000 visitors every year the tourism industry consumes huge amounts of resources and takes its toll on the wildlife here. ironically it's destroying the things that many tourists come for in the 1st place. i had a day out in the field at dover that hardly anyone knows this but about 80 percent of the typical white sands of the caribbean are actually the white skeletons of coral that in neverland that the big guy had mapped anyway and if we don't have healthy reefs and we don't have healthy corals we're in danger of losing all these beautiful things even the white sands beneath these and that in the very places where tourism is the main source of income or may last saw him as on their bodies
1:47 am
more so i set it up in that one thing that us. marine biologist samantha mascot is working to preserve the reefs. in the lab she prints corals for experimental purposes. that later be transferred to every. asset as women just cover the coral grows faster if it's divided up into small fragments rather than left in one big piece a dad could see is that i think that my nose my yard it uses this disc like a prosthesis and the coral wrapped itself around it as if it were its own skeleton i mean they're not going to have things of that at. the poles can grow up to 10 centimeters a year using this method up to 4 times faster than they would in nature. the style for me is the whole gay and sun from them on a daily basis. it's usually several months before they're ready to be released into
1:48 am
the city. the lapis financed by a group of investors who i know grange of hotels in the country german grants also help. the fun. but i'm aware that the picking up people matter i think that we can see which species are most resistant to hire a mo temperatures. or too low sunlight or to other parameters like an excess of nutrients or hampel when it's going up and. other species of coral require different breeding methods. several times a week samantha and her colleagues take a bite out to the coral gardens they've planted in the i can see. that the would have to be going to the coral we're working with today it's called staghorn car and used to be the dominant species here. so it's really sad when you think about it but we're transplanting coral in places that used to be covered in a. man. with
1:49 am
a hammer and some pliers and hand they plunge for me to spello the surface. of the corals they've planted a growing along a grid. once the tentacles have reached 15 centimeters they can be broken off we said just use them to help restore the destroyed reefs. the growth of the carless precisely documented. the tentacles and literally nailed to the reef $9000.00 corals have been attached to the reefs i found about 70 percent of them have survived. it's a success for the team but they maintain that we should be acting proactively rather than reactively. about 25 percent of the world's marine life depends on coral reefs
1:50 am
but. seemed i thought that was the modernist hour and we had restored the reef but if we don't. change our mindset if we don't start using less plastic if we don't start using detergents that contain less phosphates than before and if we don't start recycling better. then all our work here won't make that much difference and that awful lot of our se on. the team hopes to expand over the coming years they want to restore more reefs and extend marine protections. but the continued growth of tourism will inevitably pose a challenge. as you make your way from a to b. in many cities around the world chances are your movements are being tracked one study suggests that there are already at around 770000000 surveillance cameras in
1:51 am
operation worldwide those in favor say cameras help lower crime rates. slowly eroding our personal freedom despite such concerns video surveillance is on the rise by 2021 that could be as many as a 1000000000 such cameras installed across the globe. at this trade fair for security technology in moscow a major trend is making waves facial recognition many russian and chinese manufacturers are here. recognized me who the digital doorman if you're verified you're in the camera scans the face and creates a biometric map that's compared to a previously compiled image at the next stand the salesman has a body camera touch to his jacket which captures trade fair visitors without their knowledge it's something police could use to match against a database of suspects so who's using these systems system. they can be used
1:52 am
in stadiums stations and other public places technology. very useful as least and allows you to filter out people at the entrance who pose a threat. but i like dot shows it's the hero under the picture there's all this information about me a 99 percent probability that i wear glasses for example. but only one percent probability that i'm happy. i'm estimated to be 30 years olds to feel devices get thanks for the compliment and it says i'm a man among what you're used to my face is everywhere anyway if you ride the subway there are 20000 cameras installed there so you'll definitely be filming if the police need to find you they could search through 20000 videos but it's much faster with this system because the booster and it works in january 29000
1:53 am
a man walked into moscow structure called gallery and stole a painting directly off the wall he was arrested soon afterwards thanks to facial recognition but not everyone is for it. is a lawyer and an activist opposed to facial recognition. in the companies and if they believe me they can find out that demi and i own are standing here and the exact location. of a square plus the time down to the 2nd that put it up for the cyclone but that's not with which we know for sure that facial recognition was involved in the arrests of activists at last year's protests in moscow believe it it's just like in china where only people opposed to the government arrested and believes that this surveillance video was used by the authorities for facial recognition it includes footage of her with a protest banner outside the russian parliament. was of them. well good idea yes our message to them is stop going after us without
1:54 am
a court order and without our agreement me you have no right to do that. is making use of her right to take the authorities to. we were not permitted to film during the 3 hour hearing although we can hear the judge's voice. and it's no good it's no wonder the she dismissed the case and then this but you're right you're muslim but i'm not disappointed on the contrary it's reinforced my determination to fight. all the authorities admitted gathering data but the other side was nervous and got very irate. when you lose control like that you have to be hiding something that is dividing was not there at the split is going to live. launched an appeal and there are other concerned citizens like her. journalist and they could go on skits wanted to find out whether the police can be trusted with facial recognition data and search the black market online.
1:55 am
myself access to the city's spatial recognition system and got hold of a hit list based on my face so. that list was 80 pages long and included a lot of people who looked similar to him but there was no direct match with his own face some of the images were taken by cameras over building entrances in russia that's becoming the norm. their own security it's important everyone's worried about their safety nowadays. doesn't it bother you if the city knows everything. there is even without these cameras everyone knows everything anyway it comes to the internet. that people could misuse this data and that gives me a bad feeling. somebody who wants to beat me up could find out when i get home and who with all who i visit i don't want. keep and popova
1:56 am
are in a minority for most people in moscow it seems security is more important than personal privacy 'd. that's all from us that global 3000 this time we're back next week and in the meantime we'd love to hear from you right global street 1000 apple dot com and check us out on facebook d w let me see you safe.
