they billed me they created something truly rather. hard to watch as i was destroying. i have marked my cities days for centuries the company my country my hours until the day i knew. not the time to leave this dance and kool aid on. welcome to global 3000. mass tourism and climate change have caused coral reefs in the dominican republic to die off could liberate trade bred corals help restore them. tourism is big income by using it too but chinese investors are

the main beneficiaries locals and much the losing out. first we go to a place that sees few tourists 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 people unemployment is rife over 50 percent of young south africans a jobless 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 close to each of the small bay area below table mountain the majority of locals however live in the cape flats.

we're out on patrol with the anti gang. special task force come much gang crime in the poorer districts of the cape flats on the outskirts of cape town we're going into the. final. as well with. 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 the equivalent of about 800 euros. yet there is nothing sealed. you understand is that i explained to you it will be an inquiry and. it's now your claim 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 what is of all because she says this money she sells washing it in the book is people who are money and there are some people that live in falls in the foreseeable who it is that. 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 seen but the death toll continues to rise.

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 at 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. and become a gangster. when i go up and then vitamin. go and. 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.

one. while and some murder are part of their lives says renee that he too is just 23 years old. but i'm still sure. she was just the way to mono. and. it's a war that 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 gangs activities in some way. like after all andrew sun our cargo. dealers apparently wanted to sell drugs outside his family's home. avril

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 ones were full of tears and he said that i have to you know if tennessee please don't do it now don't go fish should know that it is not ok and he said but i have to go fish to my phone because i'm worried they my phone is in it in the hands of somebody that i don't trust and in probably about 20 minutes after that something came to say. average andrews chose not to feel better she set up a foundation in order to help others. everyone here shares the traumatic experience of having lost a son their stories are all unique but also tragically similar. to the

1st showed me and often i think if you don't know what to do those in the moment. think. if you were still to figure that in the. subject just probably don't think. it even if they did everything to be in the. court they were in there and he was. instantly. so. some of the perpetrators are still at large i just hope and pray. justice. well put it all. in the cape. and i think there's all the innocent all the small children babies just as. this. was it was.

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 2030 china announced its belts and road anisha tave will cycle 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 while there are some concerns about china's expanding power many countries welcomed the cash injection individuals however i'm experiencing the

downsides of chinese investment like in cambodia. pantheons 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 punk tells him. the new owner doesn't understand any command he is a translation app to try and communicate with her on the screen it says that his business isn't doing. 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

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. the building side scare me. there's constant shaking and noise. and i don't think the buildings are all that sturdy one of them collapsed the other day and. little remains of the once tranquil port town of sienna kamil. 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 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 need a lot of staff. cambodians run the gambling tables and serve the gas some of them have managed to profit from the huge changes in their city. so i don't want to. speaking only in terms of money i have a slightly better life now a bit more income. maybe my family will even come here to. ask my 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. has been completely transformed by the gambling industry and chinese funded

construction projects. but the provincial governor maintains that this is a boon to the area. so if they don't get by there 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 were getting in the way of the smart city project the for their 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

a huge injustice. this area here is totally deserted when i can keep a few chickens but otherwise i can 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 the 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 sadness or on woman i'm just speechless. i was a soldier i worked hard for this long for this country but look what they're doing here. is this the facts i guess the only. unit 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 bag 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 turn things around. the world was. finally some fish they've worked 4 days for the school the fishes have been doing this job their whole lives here off the coast of punta cana in the east of the dominican republic . but not all of them will ever come out they used to make good money doing this little.

better before things are getting harder and harder fishing isn't the same as it used to be here business is really bad. at 1st glance 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 he that died 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 it.
