business cultivating it for medicinal purposes is illegal in the city. but 1st we consider the future of globalization past the covert 19 pandemic forces a major everything. an unbridled quest for profit and untamed consumerism characterized much of the world's economy. that is until the coronavirus hit. theaters cinemas and bars were shuttered cities resembled ghost towns national borders were closed fleets of planes grounded travel as good as ceased millions around the world may see their livelihoods destroyed as usual people in poverty benefited the least from globalization of the hardest hit will the shock of the pandemic realigned priorities or will we pick up where we left off. these old fashioned

globes in a berlin bookstore evoke a time before our planet was plunged into its current crisis a crisis that could well change our world in many ways. what might this mean for globalization and across continental cooperation. we've asked for people for whom globalization and its discontents are major themes of their work globalization is not to blame for the virus. there's nothing like a good crisis to create opportunity for political change we can all see now that an economy that aims above all to maximize profit is not sustainable. 3 main scenarios have been sketched out for what might now emerge the 1st is the undoing of globalization in its present form the. french president. says the

cataclysm will change the nature of globalization it increased inequalities in developed countries and it was clear that this kind of globalization was reaching the end of its cycle it was undermining democracy so will this prove to be a major historical turning point similar to the fall of the berlin wall and the end of the cold war one possible response though is not what my call wants to see it's for countries to seek safety in solitude and self reliance in the process undoing international ties and trade boosting domestic industries to reduce reliance on global supply chains and just in time logistics and instituting large stores of key goods in preparation for the next crisis. attack is an international network of activists who are critical of what they termed new liberal globalization they call for social ecological and democratic alternatives including fair trade rules and

limits to free trade. that the disaster we've seen in the provision of protective facemasks goes to show that we need more local manufacturing and local storage facilities so that things are really available when we need them without that not even basic emergency protection measures are possible. globalization is a political agenda that seeks to reduce international interdependencies it's not anti capitalist but it's anti free trade it resonates with the nationalism of say u.s. president donald trump and germany's far right if tea party. the future does not belong to us the future belongs to patriots the future belongs to sovereign and independent nations to peace here get it global you globalization as we know it has failed a new worldwide economic system is emerging based on sovereign national economic areas the state some observers say that is rubbish and that we will eventually get

back to business as usual global trade will resume and thrive vast amounts of goods will once again be zipping around the world globalization they say has increased standards of living bringing hundreds of millions out of poverty it has also proved vastly profitable for some flying around the world will again become normal every day activity global communication is of great benefit to humanity so why unto any or all of that i think. we're going to see a surge in digitalization but we're not going to see a surge in de globalization because we aren't going to forego the cost advantages of globally distributed manufacturing and the global market there is no alternative . so in this scenario trade and travel will recover and thrive in compas in the globe and in any case decoupling simply can't were. in our day and

age people talk a lot about decoupling but they talk about the end of globalization and it's really a buzzword that has very little practical meaning the internet financial slows the way supply chains are constructed it's very difficult to think of a about a future where all of that is eliminated the horse to use the old american metaphor the horse is out of the barn. the market is out of national control the national economy is very substantially wants police control. of expertise of labor something. the german government for its part certainly does not think globalization is in its death throes. as well cancel riki if there is no going back from the globalization of the past 20 or 30 years it's become part of our open economic and social order. given the economic and financial cost of the

crisis with debt level soaring with environmental protection be sacrificed in the struggle to revive economies in sociological terms the pressure to create prosperity will not diminish even though there are good ecological reasons to want to see it diminish. as for the 3rd scenario there was a lot of discussion right now about a new green deal. this does not represent a turn away from globalization. it is more a vision of how the world should choose to reorient itself particularly in the wake of the pandemic. 'd and create a global economy to benefit ordinary people. while protecting the environment and mitigating the climate crisis. moment where things are in flux there's a lot of uncertainty anything could happen. that window will close you know

in the next. 60 seconds to a year and then we'll be just back to wherever we land after that period. is the pandemic making people stop and think about what is truly important in life. if so perhaps the world will prefer global and local solidarity to consumerism competition and career ism. and discovering that society social relations a social contract trust among people are the biggest assets in the fight against over it the question when the dust settles is what people forget. well some people may see the pandemic as a crisis to be resolved as quickly as possible so we can continue on our merry way as before others see it as an opportunity to rethink basic questions about the way

we live and perhaps come up with something better. cannabis is the world's 2nd most popular drug after alcohol used by an estimated $200000000.00 people a recent study estimated the global market could be worth $350000000000.00 a year that would include both the illegal and the illegal trade many countries have legalized recreational cannabis and its cultivation and substances from the plants are also being used in medicine to treat chronic pain in a small and in cancer therapy some research is a hopeful it could help treat 19. many cannabis farmers are hoping this trend will continue including in the south african nation of necessity.

farmers struggle to make a living here in the highlands of the city where the soil is largely infertile. but it's here that industrial scale farms have set up a flourishing business in cannabis. the plant thrives here thanks to the peer mountain air and clean water. all the stuff that the medic row company have to wear rubber gloves and protective clothing. this c.e.o. under a bottom says that is crucial if they are to produce a medicinally pure product. you don't really have spent $24000000.00 u.s. dollars on the facility. we will be doing for the business when we expand our area. it's very this is a very capital intensive industry to get it right. you need a lot of capital. cannabis has been grown here for centuries until now on small

fields like this one. this smallholder farmers says we should call him clement he doesn't want to reveal his real name. like his great grandfather before him he cultivates the conventional variety of the plant that makes you high and that remains illegal in the city. when i heard of plans to make cannabis growing illegal i thought great something everyone will profit from but no it looks like it will only benefit politicians and their friends and not the whole of society. clement is disappointed he would also like to grow medicinal cannabis on his field but to do that he would need a license from the government which costs almost $11000.00 a huge amount that he could never raise. so big companies with capital thrive legally well smallholders continue to supply the

black market. they both grow cannabis but the plants raised for medicinal purposes are of a different variety and contain only a minimal amount of the psycho active ingredient sought by drug users t.h.c. . the licensed producers have to demonstrate that that is the case in lab tests. what they do want to see a lot of in their plants is kind of a dial all c.b.d. . it's antiinflammatory and cramp relieving properties of what qualify the substance as a medicine. we talked with the country's health minister he conceded that since cannabis farming was legalised 3 years ago local small holders have not been among those to profit. those sometimes they were numbers tend. to smoke. you are from the backyard you will speak you will feel that

high it's not a very it's not a very small business it's not his possession obviously so of course most of us. would not have died to myself to take it out. clements says the government has failed people like him. that you know at this secret location he and to help his pack up his marijuana in small bags for sale they've been raided repeatedly but avoid arrest by bribing the police clement is tired of living this way and says he too could grow medicinal cannabis. but there's another problem at the scene. howard where we are not in the seeds come from overseas and they're denying us access to them. it's a form of oppression by. under a bottom

a appreciates the frustration of small scale local farmers but says they don't have the means to become literate i'm a produces. he shows us how his factory makes medical grade cannabis oil the equipment alone cost $4000000.00 he says. at the same time but most keen to stress how industrial farms like his benefit listen to local investors hold more than 30 percent of medic wrote in accordance with government stipulations what's more the company is in the process of creating a total of 3 and a half 1000 jobs jobs for people like harvest and mammoth sillies or inches that you need to succeed me. i used to be unemployed i was stuck at home. but since i got the job here i've been able to send my kids to school and i know i ask loads and so. that's it's a well it's. here's a lives in a hilltop village her life is typical for

a woman in rural the suit 2 jobs are few and far between here but and she is as own situation has changed significantly since she began to work on the cannabis farm. she's now learning english and math at a school set up by the company for its workers. that also makes it easier for her to check her children's homework this school is also funded by medic rose the covert 19 pandemic had not yet reached africa when we were in the city. but the government did then introduce a lockdown before easing restrictions on may the 5th. as many factor of medicinal products the cannabis farm is one of the few companies that were exempted from the lockdown but staff do now have to wear protective masks. as the border was closed we were able to return to the city so andrea sent us this video he took on his smartphone. in

a skype interview he said people were becoming more health conscious in the face of covert 19 and demand for his cannabis oil was continuing to grow. he also told us he had offered the government his help in the fight against the virus we've made out. progress. but they have chosen to use it at their own tasting facility the thing is i don't think they want the government to control it in themselves. clement continues to work during the lockdown delivering sacks of his crop to a drug dealer. to fulfill his dream of one day growing medicinal cannabis and selling it to a processing plant he would need financial assistance from the government. and for a greenhouse for now it's a dream that seems unlikely to come true. we're always on the lookout for delicious snacks on latest discovery comes from the south

pacific. in the solomon islands most food comes straight from the sea or the land the main way of getting to and from the smaller islands is by boat so eating locally is essential that means lots of fresh fish coconuts. and here really to me it also means my grove beans. they grow everywhere and they form the basis of a popular snack on the island. that's what. it was cooking up for her sister's home state business. the day when we can. call our show. how it goes like mom grew up in is that we've had on the board and then we go to the margot and collected on the mob and afaik

the big and the coupon. kid did like the ish and thought. then and question again. this is the. place that we want to go. she squeezes the pulp by hand changing the water 3 times until it loses its color squeezing the. fresh cup of this and i will dance by through another dish ready for our call. she boys have for 10 minutes before it's time to add the other ingredients they include coconut onions and chopped fish. after it's cooked a bit longer on the stove the result is a rich soupy dish. one interesting thing about mongrel is that it gives they a long time if you did this month you can leave an argument. that makes it

a reliable source of food when other ingredients aren't available. hope this unique dish will attract travelers who are willing to leave the beaten truck to sample an authentic taste of the solomon islands. this week in global ideas we look at one of the many horrible mess is we humans have created piles of plastic trash this time in southern argentina it's one of several problems penguins that face as biologist. 500 years ago food in magellan was the 1st european to sail around the southern tip of south america. it's an icy climate here and also home to the magellanic penguins named after the spanish explorer.

andrea roy ray has ventured down here to go to do some exploring herself she's a biologist from argentina southern center for scientific research. she and her team make regular trips to the remote colonies of penguins here 7 in total. although i would argue that we're on our way to islam our c.e.o. hammar island economy there has around $5000.00 pairs of magellanic penguins and 50 pairs of gentoo penguins we know bob or the colony has been around since the 1970 s. but we only started observing it in the ninety's. and since then it's been growing there continuously and if. the seas are calm today enabling the researchers to bring their equipment on land without any further problems. the

penguins don't seem bothered by the visit is there are several species living here together on the island. andrea ray has won an award for his insights into the impact of humans on the birds magellanic penguins dick then this burrows in the ground. this is where they lay their eggs and raise their young. but the bird's very survival is influenced by human activity rising sea temperatures have changed marine food chains for the penguins it means hunting longer for food which in turn means leaving their young alone for longer and increasing their vulnerability to seagulls and other predators. you know. southern rock her penguins are among the species hardest hit by climate change but it's a very small types of prey such as larvae which are themselves most susceptible to

changes in the temperature of the water. so the penguins derive less energy from their food. and that has a long term impact on the population. a lot of old blossom. andrea ray and her team are installing an automatic monitor. system for the penguins they fitted some of the birds with the special chip a sensor records they movement in order to track general activity across the colony penguins do look rather helpless on land at least but they're excellent divers and swimming some penguins make it all the way to europe why and brazil covering a distance of 4000 kilometers. with our guardians of the ocean they're also a gauge of how healthy they were ecosystems are. examining their food intake how

far they swim to find that food and their reproductive rate and they built to see how these species which are dependent on the ocean are fairing. penguins go on shore to mates and raise their young and extremely sensitive phase of their lives which is under threat from growing pollution the nesting holes are increasingly filled with plastic waste which mainly comes from the nearby city of. 90 percent of the nests contain plastic waste. as do the animals stomachs and faces. the sea currents and winds carry the plastic to places you might think were untouched by human activity. 4 years ago residents of teamed up to tackle the trash situation a blot on the entire city coastline. the initiative was launched by

maya mariel who was appalled by the pollution brought to this remote city by the wind and by sea currents. that you see stray dogs tearing apart the garbage looking for food. belongs in a landfill but a lot of it ends up on streets across the city and the birds come and pick away at the rest. the ticket i'm in. and i thought out you know some of the what we've gotten used to burying the garbage. sometimes when the snow arrives in winter the trash is just left on the beach. and when as no melts the trash ends up in the sea that ameena nothing a lot of. bush ally is called the gate to the and take the half a 1000000 tourists who descendant yetto del fuego every year pose a further threat to the largely untouched ecosystem. in 2005 and

rio ray founded a group bringing together citizens' initiatives and local to operate says. what they want to see is better management of the tourism sector says the group's coordinators sabrina. i mean there's been a rise in tourism in but i think with ashley and the number of boats with tourists out to the scene or the canal. you want to but i think there's the improper behavior there are boats going to close to the islands and using loudspeakers in the vicinity of the animals and i think that as soon as the lower let's say the home why. is there not sure isn't that one with nature tourism that's in harmony with nature is always welcome. it's one of the human activity is that can help the most to conserve the environment above all so that the populations the communities and the ecosystem remain as

pristine as possible of the one being no one but if they know. the penguins that will bring so welcome relief in the struggle for survival here and what is called the end of the world. that's all from us that global 3000 this week don't forget we love hearing from me and so do drop us a line to global 3000 at g.w. dot com and visit our facebook page d w women until next time goodbye. want
