12:30 am
literature invites us to see people in particular that i like to see myself as the kids find strength grow grow. my own objective americans to share with of find beautiful. books on youtube. welcome to global 3000. that's tourism and climate change have caused coral reefs in the dominican republic to die off could liberal tree bred corals help restore them. tourism is big in cambodia too but chinese investors are the main beneficiaries locals are largely losing out. first we go to a place that sees few tourists one area of south africa's cape town is in the grip
12:31 am
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 there over the past 10 years. the situation in cape town is especially troubling most tourists stick close to each of the small bay area below table mountain the majority of locals however live in the cape flaps. were out on patrol with the county guying near. the special task force comets gun crime in the poorer districts of the cape flats on the outskirts of cape town going
12:32 am
to the theater. or the. play all over. 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 is that you it will be an inquiry. as to how your claim the money. the police also find drugs hidden in mailboxes outside the building there packaged into small
12:33 am
bundles ready for sale. and that is what was this what is it because she says this what she sells washing the book is people of money and. for some. it is. the officers don't find any weapons but they suspect they're out on the street. 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
12:34 am
a few prospects for the young people growing up here many of whom join gangs at an early age. an intermediary puts is in touch with the gang we meet with a few members in lotus river but 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 gang. well i grew up in the environment. was in going 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 over gangs and. we go over there kill you shoot it. one must so it worked. well and some murder are part of their lives says rene
12:35 am
he too is just 23 years old. i'm looking. in. all of my teeth. but i'm still sure. she was the way to mono in your initial. 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 through the gangs activities in some way. like after all andrew sun our cargo. dealers apparently wanted to sell drugs outside his family's home after all 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
12:36 am
was hard for him to say goodbye. for suddenly the nice eyes were full of tears and i have to you know if to and i said please don't do it now don't go fish chicken 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 if the in probably about 20 minutes after that somebody came to say it was. 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 poor showed me and also i think if you don't know what to do those in there.
12:37 am
the 2nd sure if you want to figure out in the. subject. probably don't think. it even if they did everything to me they do go. in there and he was. instantly. so. some of the perpetrators are still at large i just hope and pray. it just as. well put it away for all the children whose losing their lives to the cape. like this all the innocent all the small children babies. just as. the sun. was at this. after all andrew's world simply sit around and wait
12:38 am
she set up a soup kitchen funded by donations on her own money around 200 people come here every day. avril 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 and mt states belts and road and initiative also called the new silk road the aim is to expand trade links between asia africa and europe and so far china has spent around 180000000000 euros on the project the final cost is estimated to reach about 900000000000 while the rest 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.
12:39 am
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 pantelis hana 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 that well. it makes me sad this shop with my life i earn decent money here i could even save some. no everything's changed. there were no my. palms house is still here surrounded by skyscrapers cranes and building sites she now runs
12:40 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 capitol. building site 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 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.
12:41 am
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. outside the 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 oh yes by i don't like the way things have developed here but as far as the money goes it's ok. the space is the n.f.l. has been completely transformed by the gambling industry and chinese funded construction projects. but the provincial governor maintains that this is a 1000000000 to the area. they say. it might be hard to imagine right
12:42 am
now but we will soon have a modern on magnificent city we're making this 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 a 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
12:43 am
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 anger well i'm just speechless. i was a soldier i worked hard for this law and for this country. well look what they're doing here. is this the bank's own gallow. for song and others like him it's a bitter pill to swallow. this
12:44 am
weekend label ideas we had to one of the world's most popular tourist destinations the caribbean behind visitor numbers are taking a toll on the natural environment our reporter tim shalyn 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 are working hard to 10 things around. the world. finally some fish they've worked for 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 . they used to make good money to bring this.
12:45 am
back to before things are getting harder and harder fishing isn't the same as it used to be here business is really bad. first 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 were 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 sapphires. mts tourism. was. i the country attracts 6 and
12:46 am
a half 1000000 visitors every year the tourism industry consumes huge amounts of resources and takes its toll on the wildlife here. i should add it 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 that it never land that they pick up and not that easy 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 most 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 prefers corals for
12:47 am
experimental purposes. that later be transferred to a reef. as sad as when you discover that a coral grows faster if it's divided up into small fragments rather than left in one big piece of a gas c it's that i think that mining in my yard and he 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 insist that. 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 whole game and some from them on a daily basis. it's usually several. months before they're ready to be released into the say. the law office financed by a group of investors who are no grange of hotels in the country. gem and grants
12:48 am
also helped to fund that walk. away at the cape and i think one matter i think then that we can see which species are most resistant to hire mo temperatures. or to most sunlight or to other parameters like an excess of nutrients or a camper when excess going out 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 open say. that whatever that we couldn't get the coral we're working with today is called staghorn car own 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. them. with a hammer and some pliers and hand they plunge for me to spell out the surface. of the corals they've planted a growing along a grid. and once the tentacles
12:49 am
have reached 15 centimeters they can be broken off reset just use them to help restore the destroyed reef. the growth of the carls is precisely documented. the tentacles are 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 productively rather than reactively. about 25 percent of the. marine life depends on coral reefs. thought this is the modest hour we had restore the reef but if we don't change our
12:50 am
minds if we don't start using less plastic if we don't start using detergents that contain less phosphates thing than that and if we don't start recycling better in place a month then all our work here won't make that much difference and that a whole lot of our essay on. the team hopes to expand over the coming year. 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 i around 770000000 surveillance cameras in operation worldwide those in favor say cameras help lower crime rates. slowly eroding our personal freedom despite such concerns video surveillance is on
12:51 am
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. the digital doorman if you're verified during the camera scans the face and creates a biometric map that's compared to a previously compiled image as an extender salesman has a body camac touch to his jacket which captures trade fair visitors without their knowledge it's something police could use to match again. a database of suspects so who's using the systems system at the moment it's that you will they can be used in stadium stations and other public places at the moment while technology is very
12:52 am
useful as least in allows you to filter out people at the entrance who pose a threat. but i like that with a bunch of. 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 old devices 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 filmed if the police need to find you they could search through 20000 videos but it's much faster with this system going to 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
12:53 am
a lawyer and an activist opposed to facial recognition. and you know the police and 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 what they see in the us now with which we 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 ok well good idea yes our message to them is stop going after us without a court order and without our agreement 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 during
12:54 am
the 3 hour hearing although we can hear the judge's voice. means it's no good it's no wonder she dismissed the case just so and then this. 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 a vital that this book is going to live part of are 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. 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
12:55 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 overbuilding entrances in russia that's becoming the norm. if the town 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. but it's not on the emotions local and that's 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. cheap and popova are in a minority for most people in moscow it seems security is more important than personal
