but 1st we consider the future of globalization as the covert 19 pandemic forces a major everything. an unbridled quest for profit and untainted consumerism characterized much of the world's economy. that is until the coronavirus hit. theaters cinemas and bars was 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 who benefited the least from globalization of the hardest hit will the shock of the pandemic realign priorities or will we pick up where we left off. these old. fashion

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 them back 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 in the 1st is the undoing of globalization in its present form of. french president kong 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 it 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. 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 global 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. 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 a global market there is no alternative. so in this scenario trade in travel will recover and thrive in compas in the globe and in any case decoupling simply can't work. 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 flows the way supply chains are constructed it's very difficult to think of. a future where all of that is eliminated the horse to use the old american metaphor the horse is out of the bar. market is out of national control the national economy is substantially worse 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 cancer leukemia 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. 'd 'd 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 careerism. discovering that society social relations a social contract trust among people are the biggest assets in the fight against overhead 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 every since 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 us 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 the city. farm a struggle to make a living here in the highlands of listeners who were the soil is largely in 1st

tile. but it's here that industrial scale farms have set up a flourishing business in cannabis. the plant thrives here thanks to the pill mountain air and clean water. all the stuff at the medic row company have to wear rubber gloves and protective clothing. this c.e.o. under a bachmann says that is crucial if they are to produce a medicinally pure product. to go to have spent $24000000.00 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 and to do 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 in a lawsuit to be. 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 raise 20 additional 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 the lab tests what they do want to see a lot of in their plants is kind of a dial all c v d. it's anti-inflammatory 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. your sometimes they one understand. to smoke. you are from the backyard you will be you'll feel that

high it's not a very it's not a very small business it's not his possession but these 3 so of course most of us. would not have died myself to take it out. clements says the government has failed people like him. that you know at this secret location he and 2 helpers 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 with the c s. i would be the seeds come from overseas and they're denying us access to them. it's a form of oppression. under a bottom appreciates the frustration of small scale local farmers but says they

don't have the means to become literate amid produces. he says 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 will people like harvest hand mamma to lease or shares that they 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 if the well is. inches or lives in a hilltop village her life is typical for a woman in rural the city jobs are few and far between here but and she says 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 interest to check her children's homework their school is also funded by medical 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 see 200 but must sent us this video he took on his smartphone. so. 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 by the local government. but they have chosen to use it at their own distinct facility the thing is i think they want to throw the government wants to control this in themselves. clement continues to work tearing the lock down 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 both for seeds and for a green house for now it's a dream that seems unlikely to come true. we're always on the lookout for delicious snacks our 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 i'm casaba. and here live to me it also means mangrove beans. they grow everywhere and they form the basis of a popular snack on the island. that's what veronica o.c.i. who is cooking up for her sister's home state business. is down and i can. show you. how it goes like mom grew up in is that we've had on the board and then we go to the maya group and collected on the mob and after what they have and the big and the coupon. kids i

think like the issue and to ask. them. 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. flesh about this and i would buy the another dish ready for school. 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 gets they a long time if you collect it this month you can need another month. that makes it

a reliable source of food when other ingredients aren't available. sister hope this unique dish will attract travellers who are willing to leave the beaten truck just sample an authentic taste of the solomon islands. this weekend label 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 biologists and day out right ray. 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.

and dray a royal 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. are you ready we're on our way to islam our c.e.o. hamer island a colony there has around 5000 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 you know hello norway and since then it's been growing there continuously and if. this season come 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. and drea ray has won an award for his insights into the impact of humans on the birds magellanic penguins dig their nest 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 siegel's 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. with a lot of a loss of. 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 sense a record a movement in order to track general activity across the colony penguins do look helpless on land at least but they're excellent divers and swimming some magellanic penguins make it all the way to uruguay and brazil covering a distance of 4000 kilometer. winds are 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 those 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 then 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

a pulled by the pollution brought to this remote city by the wind and by sea currents. 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 it must 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 it's 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 descend on terror del fuego every year pose a further threat to the largely untouched ecosystem. in 2005 and rio rae 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 coordinator sabrina kids money. i mean there's been a rise in tourism and but i think we're actually in the number of boats with tourist trips out to the scene or the canal. you want to but i think there is 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. the home away. is putting all that on tourism at 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 this pristine as possible of one big no one but if they know.

the penguins that will bring so welcome relief in the struggle for survival here in 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 you and so do drop us a line to global 3000 at g.w. dot com and visit our facebook page d w women and until next time goodbye. in
