you screwed up no chemical. history of those i was struck you. the strength of the students was the best. was the training successful i just heard from. george himself. to w. . welcome to global 3000 drought is on the rise in china and water is becoming an ever more precious resource how are farmers that. we look at the meat industry and find out

what conditions are really like for workers employed by german slaughterhouses. transporters 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 i mean will 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 can be torture for animals but in the e.u. alone the industry transports $350000000.00 mammals and around a 1000000000 poultry to albatross in 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 or put on trucks and ships to be traded from one country to another either from this water or to be fed and before slaughter at their end destination. transporting these animals can take days and then a more well for it is ations a warning that animals are often suffering in mentally ill way. it was last summer and it was under group rumania 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 not better you know with sawdust or so it was a pure. and imagining 'd it was just the. boiling plague.

the e.u. has specific animal protection a delicious when it comes to transport times to space temperatures and access to food and water. unfortunately their legislation is not. is not stringent enough so there are still many to force and. it's also not applied to the way it should be so there are regular violations 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 i. before transport vehicle sets off in the e.u. the official veterinarian has to sign off on whether the regulations have been enforced before the park. 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 the regulations have been violated and communicate the violations to hurricanes. down there i mean they are crowded there just too many animals in fact that they could move appropriately or reach drinking devices ordered travelling times they're also open during. that of 29 hours on board which is already carrying on 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 prove but with video proof you can just there is no escape every year the e.u. also exports referee 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 they leave your territory and to countries that often don't have the same standards of animal protection. just. in the past videos of e.u. bred animals being mistreated in the middle east and north africa have cost a story. animal welfare groups are asking to transport and in most of the close 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 than shields chilled meat so called because you need to special trucks which can.

cool to meet them there is a thing and parenting is more expensive. than to transport a lot of animals. the german family association agrees that long distance transports for the purpose of slaughtering an animal abroad as a perfect. was in terms of animals and it was slaughtered which clearly against long distance transform longstreet. but sure this is a different situation for breeding animals this individual has 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 in others. so it's more economical to fatten animals in italy or spain than in germany or denmark. the german family association says it has to do with

a just sticks. it's kind of powerful economies and 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 real 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 exploited 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 piquant. and in june exploitation and discrimination sadly such conditions

a still all too common in the meat industry as we found out at 2 companies in northwestern gemini. it's pretty clear what this company is all about even from outside its gates innovative. animals the barbecue meet on which 10 years has built its renown and prosperity. but after decades of success the firm has become in govt and scandal as more than 1500 workers tested positive for corona virus is spread rapidly due 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 and has been protesting for years against the inhumane practices even setting up a citizens' initiative she takes us to see a worker's dormitory which until recently was home to 13 romanian butchers inside women by

a pungent stench the walls are coated to mold simply business as usual for 10 years contract because local residents were aware of their plight but turned a blind eye unlike in the. forty's 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 turn yes for 2 years. experience. but ours were the worst thing about. your start at one of the afternoon and finished at 1 in the morning. overtime wasn't paid either he ended up quitting. continues to sadly no exception in germany the massive test flushed rosenhaus lies about an hour in the top story the way it's 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. 68 of a hobby they're working 60 hour weeks or more. people are having to live in moldy overcrowded dumps these workers get carted here in packed minivans and buses the health risks is so high and i want to protest against it but just 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 have 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 but don't get the opportunity to learn german and they should be given this opportunity because they live here their families often joined them should be able to become part of society and take

part in social life david. has been on their way to feed tim cook town council for 20 years. she scene workers categorically marginalized underpriced. is good ol i 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 here and we don't want to leave. turn. company names now synonymous with mass corona virus infections and the exploitation of human beings. her. of course 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 dolphins 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 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 both are 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. a market reaction like oh if you go back people really think you straight so they think i just want to round with a printing order 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. the most which is to make children fall in love with the well so that it's using the best of their true you still have and build with more understanding of what they will see in the adults she then teaches them about plastic waste and animal conservation a discarded old kite can be a death trap for flamingos and other animals. also may be a left wing pig flamingo like bob could get tangled up in this and wouldn't be able to escape the crying help house now. with bob there the message really gets across. is i think we need to take better care of animals. page and richard fisher. plastic isn't good for.

the fight for animal welfare is vital here has an astounding variety of species above and below the water. but humans 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 bird named otie recover they need to not be taking rehab rehab is not coddling rehab it's wild animals that are hurt you help them they put them back soon it's bob's job to keep ot 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. are global ideas series is all about environmental and climate protection this week we go to tunisia where the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly noticeable in the area around the soil is dusty it's becoming hard for

farmers to cultivate their lands mortar has become a luxury few. and few a pharmacy have enough of it. for many people around the world it's easy to imagine an unending supply of water not so here tunisian farmer sharif the needs a lot of water to irrigate his all of frozen 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 he's never been short on water before. it. can pump 6 liters per 2nd down to the fields in summer the system runs for 16 to 17 hours a day we use less water in the cooler winter months there's still enough rain and 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 fields. he needs an additional 40 leaders for himself his wife and their 3 children. it's really tough for the people who live in this region it takes everyone so much time to fetch water we're tired 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. 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. this is stern's catch the rain water that runs off the houses which can be used as drinking water for irrigation to. recall don't. 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. now actually mono. does unbelievable pressure on this resource right now . we see the groundwater 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. shortly on which we need intelligent water meters and digital will to management while. i don't say i like to see new personnel trained as all thora ts in the sector. will do just. so we need to promote development and research it's about raising people's awareness was above all it's about training. me was he before going to the g.i.c. 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. to water annoyance if you have a really unusual situation in the region we're in now. 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. we need

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 show how easy in some places water is actually being stolen. that. 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. 4 wells were built with her mission. 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 soon become. habited. ringback ready and now going to leave the living rooms we check out a rather unusual home believes.

hello welcome my name is a nice way here at the chaos oasis my home in southern billy's coming this is our bedroom the living room. chill area. this is a great space for yoga. but not with the others you see eventually confided to me. it is all made from bottles. this one of these arches approximately $220.00 bottles on each one and then the bottom beings which are 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 now so you can see we are all alike coming in. and the sun set because we have a read through or everything goes pink. and our

ship is a self-sustaining building that is built recyclable materials so it's a building if you're in the north or in the equator it's meant to keep you warm or 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 in for them 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 cost and half and then cleaned you have to clean every single $1.00 have to draw every single one and then you take them together and you basically make it as thick as

you want you were. ok thank you very much for visiting and if you're ever in billy's 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 only job by by here. and now it's time for us to say goodbye to you that's all from global 3000 this week do write to us level 3000 dot com see you next week.
