yes almost from monday near putin if i were to touch an entry analyzes the difficult relationship between russia and the us and between their presidents how does their rivalry and their dangerous mutual admiration affect the rest of the world prism bullies trump and putin starts august 3rd on d w. that. dumb. what do animal conservation groups did it's up payment systems and the gunmen are just having common well believe it or not they can help to protect them very much on that coming up on the show i'm now it's i mean lagos covering 1000 they've done they've seen much of our life right now but we still need to care for the environment right sandra that is right and

a one will come from the sundra to nobody here in kampala uganda satellite data shows that doing the looked on the air quality has improved in many african cities but white life is still suffering animals especially have been the biggest losers in this crisis poaching the increase in many of the wildlife resolves what talk about this show me and here's a quick look at some of the stories you'll be looking on today. we visit the wonder where the government has introduced as it was just on a single to the bank notes. and we also see how a military training drones can actually promote conservation. and we meet at the deny an artist who is using if god wants to pull for greater protection policies. it is a well established fucked that rhino horn is essentially made up of the same substance as a human fingernail but it continues to sell for us to normal prices especially in

east asia where it is considered to have him in paula's south africa has a nearly 80 percent of the was whining on husband todd by poaching with only about 20000 and he was left in the wild the country has now resulted in drastic measures in order to preempt porches bucks have started to be gone all their rhinos. to landsberg national park in south africa. iran has been spotted but sadly help has come too late after ripping off its home and left it as prey for lions. helicopter pilot and he could jacobs is out on patrol surveying the area he's a founding member of the anti poaching group a rhino 911 an organization that provides emergency helicopter rescue to rhinos

injured all front mostly due to coaching but it also carries out preventive measures. in a last ditch attempt to save them rhino 911 has been assigned to help d. horn rhinos in the province the animals are sedated before the patient's horn is sold off. your reform probably about. 500 kilograms. tried to get money to do this. one fortunately only option that we have. been trying to do something on. friday trimming trees like these animals one of. the team needs to up quickly before the rhino wakes up again the horn is that drastic procedure that removes about 90 percent of the horn that conservationists tell us that in some areas even d. horn rhino is. to extract the remaining stumps reserves that combine the practice of horning with regular food petrol and extensive monitoring could have

a chance of saving the large part because it looks brutal but when carried out by professionals it is safe and pain free we make sure that we don't get into the growth. part of the war where there's definitely feeding and we also wouldn't be good from an infection point of unity go to the one so i think in this case i don't know what they're over stimulated this little vibration going to the body of this sort of food in a state of arizona sort of like being in a theater so the so they would respond to that but i don't think it's been. the process takes about half an hour the horn is labeled wait for a graph and will later be stored in a secret government world far away from the park improved security measures and interventions such as dea horning have helped south africa to cut the number of poached animals by half over the past 5 years. rhino 911 walks closely with the rhine orphanage in nonprofit center that cares for all fun and

injured rhino cobbs. you're landing a fundie america and her colleagues are preparing milk for 3 recent arrivals. only barely escaped the same fate as their mothers who were butchered for their homes your land hopes to release the rhino spec into the wild once they have matured but she's concerned about the rise in pol change as a result of the economic fallout caused by corporate 19 rhinos are still being killed it to foster peace then they can reproduce. the sons of covert 900 out of picking up in south africa with definitely seen an increase in costs arriving we've had 4 cops in 53 days so we definitely think that there is an effect you know there is the tourism industries are all closed it's very quiet art and the reserves the anti poaching teams try their best to patrol and protect the reserves but we think

that that quiet nature of the reserves definitely. has an effect on the parchin back in plants but rhino 911 has spotted 2 animals in the move time to fix opinions on mixed some believe it makes male rhinos will noble others say the horns and essential for survival and grow back within about 5 years these kinds of ation is see no alternative. well we're losing animal that all morning right we're using i don't have dry nose for a year in south africa and that number is unacceptable so we need to try and do more we need to dry you know and save the species it's a prehistoric animal. and we need to save them for generations to come that. they were going to wake up. most rhinos seem unperturbed when they wake up and simply resume grazing with 3 years rhino 911 has been working with authorities to dion rhinos in public parks and reserves the precise numbers of those de horned.

are kept secret for their protection. it is sad about such drastic measures sometimes needed to protect they are now then it is often say that every little bit helps and that's certainly the case when it comes to the environment one young student in germany has formed a way of tommy plastic waste into sustainable tired and the best thing is the end product looks just like expensive take a look at this week's doing your big. tiles look like marble but they're actually 100 percent plastic in your sakia creates them from the used to materials. the designer based in germany 1st cleans and sorts the waste. heat in an oven softening the

plastic. these toxic fumes so acute wears a mask for protection as she needs increases the match she may reveal what happens in nature the distance of the company i came up with the idea for the tiles because a lot of plastic waste ends up in the oceans mostly via rivers in china and africa it's broken down into smaller and smaller pieces and it ends up on beaches through pressure and here it becomes part of the stone there and often i study the conditions under which rock is formed how its structure is created and then i used a similar process with a plastic waste and the. blame is to take waste and turn it into something useful that's also beautiful and durable. there's no thinking about founding a social enterprise to produce her tiles on a larger scale. if she succeeds our mountain of plastic we just might get just

a little bit smaller. and how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website oh said just a tweet. hash tag doing your bit so. we share your story you. really look great and be impressed we're going to stick with the creative and protecting the environment but change continents and come straight back it up because this time to west africa on specifically to get my own capital accra that's right sondra with their creation artist come out with influence they have the pots of supplies and fascinates us and also to make us think could be in our yard is a good man painter whose works draw attention destruction of our oceans it could

offer got paid him a visit to find out. in his to do you. doubt about 2 things he laughs deeply fish on the ocean he sneaked maine which for. mr fish much or for swick pigs to see creatures struggle with pollutants dumped into the ocean now who had no specific theme when he 1st started painting by 20 years ago but having grown up in a fishing community his concern from irene a life group with environmental issues becoming more and more pressing i've been painting from the perspective of a shut eye and since i'm clean for some years back and seeing the pollution aspect of it it is going to affect the world and even kind of fishes we have in the

oceans so few years to come if we are able to do a bot do anything about getting this wish and ending up in. the paintings illustrates the purity of the scene contrasting it with the damage done by human activity. while this is a joke that no lives of. it can also save the greater purpose of helping preserve the illusion for future generations. if we leave this time to see the dinosaurs and the have died and gone. it is in our power in our hands to make sure that the shock and wills still remain in the ocean. and knuckle visits the beach in his community everybody beaking up waste washed ashore. he recycles these with items by using them for his spin tunes telling the real

stories of how polluted to see a nice but who has a wish to to wendy leave and the v.c. to live with one thing and fight for it to be kept clean and from having relations with me in day to see that life then i'll be also leaving one of the good old hospital the home of my life. the importance of preserving the bush team. at way it's a constant reminder of that. we had to send a go announcement some more individuals dedicated to helping the planet this time on shore then zio the day works in the service of the craft of the cow planting trees wherever they can these include 1st and foremost mowing the trees as well as force and so-called boy entries them involve the residents in the project that's important because it's only when people realize the benefit of trees that they will

protect and take care of their. fellow. planting trees is now a days santa is favorite activity. she and a group of volunteers want to make this sunday parking lot on the outskirts of the car more has special. yes i'm i'm planting a salmon and. it's a shame tree that can grow up to 20. a large square full of shady trees a place to hold celebrations and festivals somewhere to meet the neighbors that's the vision of a local n.g.o.s managed to win over the local residents. living on the. road you love the most important people need greenery and as i see it those who

respect the environment respect themselves. so we must do what we can to combat desertification by planting trees all over the city. but it's not enough to just planted trees you need to nurture them as well day after day. it's imperative to involve the local population that's what guarantees the survival of the trees. the n.g.o.'s actually took its name from a tree in a bed a is the word former in the wall of language it's a versatile tree its leaves and food can be eaten or used for medicinal purposes. scientists have proven that trees bring rain by contributing to it. they trigger precipitation in the clouds more trees mean more rain and the more we cut down the

less rain there is one of the shells that they say deserts advance but they don't it's humans that make it possible things must change we must plant. big cities are growing as a breath taking speed in senegal. in the past 60 years the country has lost around hof of its forests to urbanization. tens of thousands of hectares of woodlands continue to be destroyed every year. yet in fact there's a lot of pressure on urban centers the population is rising there's more construction and fewer green spaces and trees we're neglecting nature and that's why desertification is growing worse in our country. the result sure sure nature and more irregular wet season in the past the rain began in june and lasted 3 months

now and things have changed. everyone knows the trees are useful but we don't give ourselves the means to plant them as a result with operation 1000000 trees and what we're doing in the neighborhood we are introducing people to the importance of trees the importance of greenery and one day these trees will provide much needed shade offering city dwellers. mike from the burning sun having planted 750000 trees last year now by the way is aiming for a 1000000 in 2020. nature is reclaiming some maybe as you know i mean also making a comeback in another environment where you absolutely wouldn't expect it to military training grow these lots secluded a.b.s. i use proxies military maneuvers and i explored i'm going to aids in germany for instance many where especially have fallen rites huge on i mean training grounds birds wild caught wolves all sorts of plants and insects more or less left to their

own devices in fact most german military training areas are part of a european network dedicated to preserving biodiversity constant movements and artillery exercises make nature conservation at this army training ground a complicated affair before the ecologist start work the search party patrols the area to make sure there are no gnostic explosive surprises lurking in the grass they're always accompanied by munitions experts from the german military once. they found a missile its location is marked down and laser bomb disposal experts will pick it up. most but as you have to search carefully as we use everything from small 20 millimeter ammunition to large ordnance and explosives of course it's much easier to find bombs that to find small munitions and don't forget we've been using this troop training area for 80 years so you find all sorts of stuff here. yet he was 80 years of army maneuvers have helped create

a very landscape in bomb holder or grasslands with wild herb's as well as woodlands and brush all ideal for biodiversity. grasslands are so valuable because they're hard to find anywhere else there's no arable land so no pesticides no nutrients no fertilizers this is only for military maneuvers. the army has all the heavy equipment it needs to preserve the natural environment this armored vehicle is used to take care of open spaces to make sure they don't get overgrown it turns up shrubs and flattened small trees. germany has 1400 square kilometers of land for military drills the environmental group nabu commission to study and found something astonishing although there are pollutants like heavy metals and kerosene residue the sites are ecologically important. the almost didn't let finance was another situation in these

areas is unique the exercises create a patchwork environment there are temporary changes what we ecologists call disturbances in areas where soil is removed there are pioneers sites where rare plants can grow as well as animal species you can't find in the regular landscape. destruction by tanks and artillery creates new ecological niches says army ecologist bill free korten ponds foreman tank trails and bomb craters where frogs and newts can spawn. this is not static environmental protection. so constantly changing they're also valuable areas not in regular use by the military where nature can evolve organically guns it's not too early. in the areas used less often they deploy sheep several 1000 sheep graze all summer long in the military training ground so that's what makes sheep really useful is that they get into all

the corners under the bushes into parts of the woods we can't reach the machine can't do that the prince grazing and droppings at the turn to the state that nature needs who do support. the sheep of spent numerous summers in the military zone and are well used to it so shepherd col hines can kill you. in there you can really generally whenever they're shooting even heavy fire you'd be amazed how fast they adapt if they do get frightened they huddle together as one crew member. in germany large swathes of the natural environment to been wiped out chiefly through intensive farming the untamed land in army training areas is highly valuable in ecological terms embalm order to spite the bombs and grenades this unique environment get special protection. the power of nature is amazing but we shouldn't rely too much on nature as i believe so we humans are

responsible for the environmental destruction and deforestation that's happening to drive climate change and you know africa specially hard hit by the consequences. and it is right near to let us look a rhonda these small central african country has lost nearly 20 percent of its forest cover in just the last 10 years but the country is working hard to clean up its act with recycling initiatives and a ban on plastics now they get a payment systems could provide another helping hunt if you want to take a motorbike taxi in london's capital kigali for example you can't pay we bank notes any will and that's just the start run the hope entries and we've to phase out paper money. back on the road after 2 months of coronavirus induced absence motorcycle taxi drivers in the rwandan capital kigali are back to work but one thing is not as it used to be mobile payments are now

mandatory cash is a thing of the past as well as that being more hygenic drivers are experiencing other benefits to. the device means i no longer have to bargain with the client about the cost of the trip. now it's the meter that determines the fare. it's also eliminated cash transactions whenever i transport a passenger they pay electronically. this ystem has been in place since may 28000 motorcycle taxi drivers have signed up their technology behind it was developed by a brew one company. just during the names on our platform and all saw they are opening a bank account so we're working with. a local bank so that they can be. open a bank account at the same time and reduce studying. after signing up

the drivers get a smartphone which they pay off at a later date the devices are for processing payments and for personal use cashless payments are already in use on buses in rwanda passengers use so-called smart cards but not everyone likes them. you know i don't trust electronic transactions when i go to the bank i withdraw paper money and there was a record of that on paper. but this new system is not entirely safe. it was better before. other skeptics include market vendors who continue to work with cash but they might be fighting a losing battle because the government is. aiming to reduce the use of paper in general and that includes banknotes. the composition of always it's 6 to 8 percent is a made of paper are worth saw or no the benefit to.

their worst and cutting they always do or saw it's. an impact on tastes i'm sick and is. using wood to harvest. since the pandemic newspapers have been pushed to go digital only at 1st publisher jeanette o'meara shovel saw a decline in sales but now she sees the impact of going digital. you no longer see this paper bags in somewhere in rwanda so i think that is what that is awful done after a delay in saying goodbye to the print media. as other things stray kirsch saw when the 2 ought to get to the digital. system.

these days traditional paper newspapers have been relegated to libraries readers now need to go online the coming months will show just how much of a difference the going paper free measures are making in rwanda. mobile money is nothing new to africa let us see how fast the idea kutch is on also keep our eyes open and let you know how it goes but now we've come to be and or wash for today and i'm excited that you could join us thank you all for watching i am sundered to nobody here in kampala the capital of uganda. thank you sandra it's a 5 for me to lagos nigeria we will be back next tree with more inspiring stories on how we can make up climate a better place to live in spite of the pandemic see a nice time and do stay healthy.
