i don't stand a chance. my sister lives in the forest through was the finest in production and to top it off. was being successful was just the true. start in terms of the. 2 dogs was. welcome to global 3000 drought is on the rise in tunisia and water is becoming an ever more precious resource how are farmers they're hoping. we look at the meat industry and find out what conditions are really like for workers employed by

german slaughterhouses. transport is known to be highly stressful for livestock why does the meat industry persist in ignoring the welfare of the animals and people it relies on. meat it seems the world can't get enough of it from poultry to steaks to fast food over the past 60 years annual global meat production has shot up 5 fold to 373000000 tonnes. argentina australia and the us on the big 3 when it comes to per capita meat consumption. the meat industry is profit driven and animal welfare is often low priority transport complete animals but in the e.u. alone the industry transports $350000000.00 mammals and around a 1000000000 poultry to albatross in the feedlots each year. there are e.u.

regulations governing animal transport but the meat industry continues to violate them. across the world animals that are still alive put on tracks in ships to be traded from one country to another water or to be fattened before start or at their anticipation. that. transporting these animals can take days and animal welfare organizations are warning that animals are often suffering in mentally ill way. it was last summer and it was under group rumanian to greece and it was extremely hot it was 40 degrees outside and one transport stop along the road and there was one lamb lying on the floor and the floor was knocked you know with sawdust or so it wasn't

your. imagining it was just the. huts boiling plague. the e.u. has specific animal protection education when it comes to transfer times to space temperatures and access to food water. unfortunately there is station is not. is not stringent enough so there are still many to force and. it's also not apply to the way it should be so there are regular finally even of what is written glock. the german from this association does not agree. you know within the e.u. there is a relatively tight surveillance network. maybe a rather different story outside the. us on the side. before transport vehicle sets off in the e.u. an official veterinarian has to sign off on whether the regulations have been enforced before the. archer. but whether the regulations are

still being followed along the way it's often hard to check. that's where the german welfare group animals engines comes and. they monitor long distance transportation document when regulations are being violated and communicate the violations to hurricanes. generally they are overcrowded they are just too many animals that they could move appropriately reach drinking devices order travelling times they're also often very much. for the animals instead of 29 hours on board which is already very long they are probably $3035.00 up to be observed up to 60 hours after new authorities day i think they will believe us if we if we did not have to proof but with video proof you can just there is no escape every year the e.u. also exports roughly 800000 cows and 2600000 sheep and goats to countries outside

the e.u. . animal welfare groups complain that there is no control over how these animals are being treated once you leave your territory and to countries that afternoon have the same standards of animal protection. in the past videos of e.u. bred animals being mistreated in the middle east and north africa have cost a stern. animal welfare groups are asking to transport and a mostly clothes a slaughterhouse and then export the meat instead of transporting animals that are still alive. why are they transported alive and not. it's all about the money because unfortunately it's cheaper to transport them alive then chilled chilled meat so-called because you need to special trucks which can.

cool to meet them there is a thing and family is more expensive. than to transport. the german family association increase that long distance transports for the purpose of slaughtering an animal abroad as a perfect. people in terms of animals meant was slaughtered which clearly against long distance transfer longstreet. can but it is a different situation for breeding animals this is the latest on how to perform at their destination. so of course is very hard to be treated well you know what. animal rights activists believe the reason breeding animals exploited and traded is that labor costs in some countries at cheaper than others. so it's more economical to threaten animals in italy or spain than in germany or denmark. the german family association says it has to do with for just sticks. it's kind of

hard on it's not a question of economy but a question of markets and specialize ation. and in spain italy and above all in france holland austria the veal market is much bigger than here in germany so these cards will be sent to those countries for fastening security. that means our consumption behavior has a big influence on what animals are being exported to their. dignity there's not much of that around for animals in the meat industry nor is there for the people working in its albatross the union stockyards in chicago builds in 865 was for a long time the world's leading and most notorious meat packing district most of the people who work there were migrants they owned a pig. and in june exploitation and discrimination sadly such conditions are still

all too common in the meat industry as we found out at 2 companies in northwestern germany. it's pretty clear what this company is all about even from outside its gates innovative. animals the barbecue meat on which tony as has built its renown and prosperity. but after decades of success the firm has becoming govt and scandal as more than 1500 workers tested positive for corona virus is spread rapidly to the poor working and living conditions of the staff who were mostly from eastern europe the state of their accommodation is an open secret activist has been protesting for years against the inhumane practices even setting up a citizens' initiative she takes us to see a workers' dormitory which until recently was home to 13 romanian butchers inside

were met by a pungent stench the walls are coated to mold simply business as usual for 10 years contract workers local residents were aware of their plight but turned a blind eye unlike in the. forties mouth we were protesting outside this building back in december 28th it's been known for ages and. this mom who wishes not to be named slaved away as a subcontractor at turn yes for 2 years. experience that up are you about the hours were the worst thing about. your start at one of the afternoon and finished one of the morning. overtime wasn't paid either he ended up quitting. continues to sadly no exception in germany the massive fest flushed rosenhaus lies about an hour and a hops drive away it also relies on hundreds of eastern european butchers many of them contracts at the coronavirus. a group of demonstrators in front of the gates

includes catholic priest pay to cross and he says this is nothing short of modern slavery. 69 of a hobby they're working 60 hour weeks or more. people are having to live in moldy overcrowded dumps but these workers get carted here and packed minivans and buses the health risks is so high and i want to protest against us because the other. in the neighboring community we come across a rundown far too small dormitory fest because the mostly right mania names on the door belong to people who've been in germany for a long time but there's little support from their employers to integrate them. people this is sort of it's because it's often the case that migrant workers from eastern and southern europe are here for many years and don't get the opportunity to learn german and they should be given this opportunity because they live here their families often join them should be able to become part of society and take

part in social life is a toughie david. goodman power has been on the radio he tim cook town council for 20 years. she scene workers categorically marginalized under prest. don't know very very sadly there are those here in our lovely town who think our problems are caused by workers from eastern europe. i've also heard about situations where people who looked like they might come from romania were spat out by germans by people who live amongst us mentioned do you want to leave an. attorney or. company names now synonymous with mass coronavirus infections and the exploitation of human beings. her. there are very different ways of working with animals that utilizes their often exceptional talents dogs can help veterans overcome post-traumatic stress disorder

. and old friends can offer support to people with learning disabilities. animals can also help enhance learning in the classroom like in the dutch caribbean island of curacao. this is bob he's not just any flamingo he's a flamingo with a mission. and he's great with kids. bob has become famous in chorus south and beyond. and always by his side is odette the vet who saved the flamingo when he flew into a hotel window and collapsed. they posted it there within 10 minutes i was in front of them like i am here for the flamingo and they were like. he could no longer

extend his left wing and his feet had gone stiff there was no way he could go back into the wild so odette took him under her wing. like oh. name a swimming. i don't like a ball not where ball only look like a ball there oh and now he's famous. bob now has a new purpose in life thanks to odette. once a week the pair head off to school together. with bob in the passenger seat. i'm a reaction like oh if you go back people really think you straight so they think i just run around with the printing orders to me which is also right. now comes one of odets favorite moments. for. promoting animal welfare with bob as her sidekick after a quick introduction the children and flamingo get better acquainted. the

children are much shyer than bob who is well versed in these meet and greets odette spent months training him. mostly just to make children fall in love with the wildlife so that he sees in the best of their true you still have them believe that more understanding of what they will see in the world she then teaches them about plastic waste and animal conservation a discarded old kites can be a death trap for flamingos and other animals. also maybe a left wing pig flamingo like bob could get tangled up in this and wouldn't be able to escape he'd be crying help housing them out. with bob there the message really gets across. is i think we need to take better care of animals and age in which a fish or. plastic isn't good for them in the fight for animal welfare

is vital here curacao has an astounding variety of species above and below the water. but have left their mark all kinds of plastic washes up here and has left lying around as well as nylon thread and fishing hooks. odette has had to surgically remove this plastic waste from animals her job as a vet is never over she works around the clock now 46 she's been rescuing wild birds since childhood. she found this one year old flamingo very ill and spent months helping the birds named ot recover they need to be to rehab in rehab is not coddling rehab animals that are hurt. you help them they put them back soon a shotgun it's bob's job to keep company because flamingos are very social animals she's getting released back into the wild tomorrow. oh did

currently has 45 wild animals in her care she needs 80 kilos of food a week plus cages medicine bandages and a lot of time she couldn't manage without donations there. were no. but all the hard work pays off especially on days like today when healthy animals go back into the wild. odette has been bridging the gap between humans and animals for 18 years and perhaps it's bob who's helped her to win the most hearts. on a global ideas series is all about environmental and climate protection this week we go to china zia where the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly noticeable in the area around cairo the soil is dusty it's becoming hard for

farmers to cultivate that lambs mortar has become a luxury fewer and fewer farmers here have enough of it. for many people around the world it's easy to imagine them and then being supply of water not so here tunisian farmer sharif show evie needs a lot of water to irrigate his all the fruits and vegetables so he has 3 cisterns to collect rainwater. he takes pride in his work he owns 90 hectares of land which is a lot for the kairouan region has never been short on water before. can pump 6 liters per 2nd onto the fields in summer the system runs for 16 to 17 hours a day we use less water in the cooler winter months the still enough rain with our

well we always have enough water. not everyone's situation is comfortable just 10 kilometers away beyond these mountains life is much harder. for most families here have to walk several kilometers to the nearest water source several times a day. ready to day needs 250 liters of water every day just for his animals and feels. he needs an additional 40 liters for himself his wife and their 3 children. and that's when. it's really tough for the people who live in this region it takes everyone so much time to fetch water retired our children can carry on doing this every day it's a burden on the entire region. we still have no running water at home it affects

our quality of life it's so hard we're all trying to find solutions and think ahead of cisterns that collect rainwater runoff could offer the people here some relief. the german development agency g.i.c. is building $100.00 of them until now a large part of the rainwater here was going unused. sit down. the cistern is catch the rainwater that runs off the houses and it can be used as drinking water for irrigation to. be called on to. the farmers can use it to grow our mons all over and rosemary which don't require that much water. what are scarcity in the arid region has long been a political issue and one that the government in the capital tunis is trying to

resolve. almost all the ministries are involved in some way but especially the ministry of agriculture. the shortage of water has become a crisis. actually mono. unbelievable pressure on this resource right now. b.c. the ground water level is sinking and we're having to go deeper and deeper. there are areas where it's now 5 metres down which is really unbelievable. story on which we need intelligent water meters and digital water management while. i don't say i like to see new personnel trained as all thora ts in the sector. do just. so we need to promote development and research it's about raising people's awareness that's above all it's about training. on the g.i.s. the development agency advises farmers and has set up what it calls water forums

constructive strategies are developed there and farmers can discuss together which plants they would grow that would use less water. wachter annoyance if you have a really unusual situation in the region we're in now with these but we. basically know groundwater left because too much of it has been used up over the years. so the farmers are now having to resort to stored water. the farmers get their water from this embankment dam it supplies more than half a 1000000 people in tunisia but as water levels decline it's being pumped further and further across the country and that has a direct impact on the people here for the past 4 years there's been far too little rain this. is

a strategy for building new. strategy for transporting water strategy for the regions where there's only rain water. on a strategy for using less water in general. to people of need to understand that they need to use water much more efficiently than they've been doing so far. pressure is mounting even on the farmers who didn't think they had to worry about their water supply like sharif shah e.b.e. in some places water is actually being stolen. in. the groundwater has already fallen considerably. the ministry carries out i knew assessments and it's continuing to fall. on top of that there are 35 illegal wells in this area alone. before wells were built with permission. it's a really terrible situation. there

are an estimated 20000 illegal wells in tunisia that's why raising awareness of the problem is so important. if nothing changes farmers and their animals will no longer be able to survive in these mountains. and then the region might become and in. habited. 'd and now in global living rooms we check out a rather unusual home in believe this. hello

welcome my name is a nice way here at the chaos oasis my home and saw the bullies come in this is our bedroom the living room. chill area. this is a great space for yoga. but not with the others you see eventually if you do it. it is all made from bottles. this one of these arches approximately $220.00 bottles on each one and then the bomb beings which of the beams which is white here and which has got the glyphs on that one they are are made from plastic bottles and we've aligned it south north south so in the morning we get the morning sun and it's the afternoon hour so you can see we are all alike coming in. on the sunset because we have a red floor everything goes pink. and our

ship is a self-sustaining building that is built with recyclable materials so it's a building if you are in the north or in the equator it's meant to keep you warm or keep cool it's earthquake proof hurrican proof. and it collects isn't rain water is solar powered and it's built a house of recycled materials. so this we kept is the truth window so all these bumps you see that you don't really see are all the tires and then we throw these and throw away and for a man and then you cover it up with cement and that's when you have. this is how we make all of our bottles the outside ones so that all 2 bottles caution half and then cleaned you have to clean every single one have to draw every single one and then you take them together and you basically make it as they can

see what you were. ok thank you very much for visiting and if you're ever in belize come to the south come see the ruins of uganda and come and see us thank you our. for you to say that's my own need to buy by here. and now it's time for us to say goodbye to that soul from global 3000 this week do write to us global 3000 dot com see you next week.
