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 gangster. well i. don't want. to go and now the day 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 you shoot. one. worked. hard and some murder are part of their lives says rene

7:37 am
subject him probably don't think. it even if they did a between the 2. that caught him in the heat and he was. in. so. some of the perpetrators are still at large i just hope and pray. they're just as well provided for all the children who's using that i was in the cape. and i think. all the innocent all the small children babies. just as the government must do something they must do something or that those. awful andrews words simply sit around and wait she set up

pung sierra and says she doesn't want to get used to what sihanoukville has become . there's been dirty 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. he uses a translation app to try and communicate with her on the screen it says that his business isn't doing that well. and. it makes me sad this shop with my life i earn decent money here i could even save some. no everything's changed. to we're not. punks house is still here surrounded by skyscrapers cranes and building sites she now runs
7:40 am
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 collapse the other day i met my. little remains of the once 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 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.
7:41 am
as night follows 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. or. your mother speaking only in terms of money on have a slightly better life now a bit more income like maybe my family will even come here to like. yes 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. they say by their it might be hard to imagine right
7:42 am
now but we will soon have a modern on my goodness in a 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 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. 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. i can keep
7:43 am
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 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. i'm just speechless. i was a soldier i worked hard for this long for this country but what they're doing here . is this the facts are gallo. that for song and others like him it's a bitter pill to swallow. this
7:44 am
weekend label idea as 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 a reporter tim shalyn 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 are working hard to 10 things around. the base of the world will have a doubt that all find their. some fish they've worked for days for this whole the fishes have been doing this stuff their whole lives here off the coast of punta cana in the east of the dominican republic. i. don't know what the locals all of them know and they used to make good money doing this little bit of real but. there aren't that many. what i'll call for
7:45 am
help with my life was better before things are getting harder and harder fishing isn't the same as it used to be here business is really bad one. holiday at 1st glance this looks like a decent car. 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. by 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 status of mass tourism.
7:46 am
the country attracts 6 and a half 1000000 visitors every year to tours an industry consumes huge amounts of resources and takes its toll on the wildlife here. hiding in agony and it's over that hardly anyone knows this but about 80 percent of the typical white sands of the caribbean are actually the white skeletons of coral neverland that mapped out. 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 i last saw him as on then what is most what i set up in that one thing that us. marine biologist samantha mascot is working to preserve the reefs.
7:47 am
in the lab she prefers corals for experimental purposes. that later be transferred to every. asset as we discover that a coral grows faster if it's divided up into small fragments rather than left in one big piece a gap and see if that i think that my new york it uses this disc like a prosthesis and the coral wraps itself around it as if it were its own skeleton and they're not going to sing with us and that's. the corals can grow up to 10 centimeters a year using this method up to 4 times faster than they would in nature. the stuff for me is the i'll get and some from them on a daily basis. it's usually several months before they're ready to be released into the city. the lapis financed by a group of investors who i know grange of hotels in the country german grants also
7:48 am
help to fund. get the kick in the people matter i think then we can see which species are most resistant to higher low temperatures. or to low sunlight or to other parameters like an excess of nutrients for example when it's going to 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. the. at the upper half that we couldn't get the car we're working with today it's called staghorn car and it 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 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
7:49 am
have reached 15 centimeters they can be broken off reset just use them to help restore the destroyed reef. the growth of the corals is precisely documented. the tentacles are literally nailed to the remaining $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 productively rather than reactively. about 25 percent of the world's marine life depends on coral reefs . females let us the motorist out and we had restore the reef but if we don't change our mindset if we don't start using less
7:50 am
plastic if we don't start using detergents that contain less phosphate stopping than that and if we don't start recycling better employ the same ones that all are working there won't make that much difference and that awful lot of our essay on basket of. the team types to expand that work over the coming year is they want to restore more reefs and extend marine protections i guess. 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 operation worldwide those in favor say cameras help lower crime rates as warned that they're slowly eroding our personal freedom despite such concerns video
7:51 am
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. he 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 kemah 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 says that at the moment it's that your they can be used in stadiums stations and other public places at the moment technology is very useful as least allows you to filter out people at the
7:52 am
entrance who pose a threat. i like up shows it's under the picture there's all this information about me and 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 old devices give thanks for the compliment and it says i'm a man. my face is everywhere anyway. if you ride the subway there are 20000 cameras installed there so you'll definitely be filmed if the police need to find you they could search through 20000 videos but it's much faster with this system because the best and it works in january 29000 a man walked into moscow's tretyakov 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
7:53 am
a lawyer and an activist opposed to facial recognition. and you know the thing is that if they can find out the demi and i own are standing here and the exact location. of a square plus the time down to the 2nd that what about the cyclone but that's not what you actually know for sure that facial recognition was involved in the arrests of activists at last year's protests in moscow believe that 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 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 court. we're not permitted to film
7:54 am
during the 3 hour hearing although we can hear the judge's voice. and it's no good it's no wonder she just missed the case and then. yeah right there must be 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 abiding was not looking at this that is going to live here it's part of our launched an appeal and there are other concerned citizens like her. journalist and baker gonski wanted to find out whether the police can be trusted with facial recognition data and search the black market online on. myself access to the city's spatial recognition system and got hold of a hit list based on my face. that list was 80 pages long and included
7:55 am
a lot of people who look 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. on 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. and it's not on the margins local and that's people could misuse this data and that gives me a bad feeling. that somebody who wants to keep me up could find out when i get home and who with all who i visit i don't want to keep and you're no popova are in a minority for most people in moscow it seems security is more important than
