orders. students on. training successful. such. starts judge himself. to death. welcome to global $3000.00 cycling brought devastation to zimbabwe last year how is the reconstruction coming along. fake news and hate speech that's also a feature of social media does this pose a danger to democracy. but 1st we go to the keep it or district of nairobi where the cologne

a virus crisis is causing many to go hungry. leiria tuberculosis hiv these often fatal diseases are still widespread in africa. and now they've been joined by coded 19 the worst is yet to come on the continent that is home to 1300000000 people warns the world health organization. africa has the worst health care in the world with one doctor for 3300 people on average. by comparison o.e.c.d. countries have one doctor per 300 people. the coronavirus is exacerbating poverty and hunger even in countries like kenya long considered east africa's economic powerhouse more than 2 thirds of kenyans work in the informal sector as artisans vendors cleaners most of these jobs have been wiped out by the pandemic. now many

people can only afford one meal a day and residents of nairobi's biggest slum are desperately worried about their livelihoods and their children's future. it's a tense evening in nairobi's keep it a district and ambulances brought a weak elderly man back to the village who are supposedly tested negative for the corona virus. but many here suspect that he still sick it's not entirely clear what his status is but people over worried enough to force the ambulance to take him back to the hospital. you think this is a coronavirus dumping ground shout someone in the crowd. the next day 2 bystanders tell us it nearly erupted into violence. the problem with the club good how could they bring up. the hero we did not. like handing because he was out of a good way because the thing that he that we love that's the beauty that people do

about it aka not because the driver in the police agreed with us that they'd take him back to the hospital. now you didn't because the crowd was shouting burn the fuel and set it on fire and you know me i'm human thank you i'm which. officially there have been around $11000.00 cases in kenya so far which is relatively low but there is widespread fear of a major outbreak the country responded quickly with lock downs and compulsory masks but the economy is suffering greatly output is expected to fall by 4 percent this year. and the number of infections has been climbing faster recently in poorer quarters like keep it as well. this district of kenya's capital nairobi is suffering especially badly many here now depend on food donations one woman is close to tears she doesn't have a mask with her the volunteers simply give her a warning as they hand her the from the parcel. these are

typical scenes and in amongst it all the children schools have been closed because of the coronavirus a potentially devastating blow to the future of the younger generation here mothers like sophia can't homeschool their children the family has no laptop tablet or computer and the power is often out anyway. so i. can't check their answers i didn't go to school so instead they go to the neighbors who do that for me. sophie is 14 year old daughter sheila gets up at 6 in the morning to do her homework. she waits eagerly for school lessons to begin on the screen at her neighbor's house. just musical. because. you don't have any teeth.

these movements. need to. be there to make. me. grow up. she was frightened of missing too many lessons so she goes round to study at her neighbors whenever they're at home. since the beginning of the crisis the government has been working with the united nations children's fund unicef to expand remote learning school programs. it's an attempt to avert the worst says unicef jean and give you. even before probably demanding crisis to know it was very high. children are not able to achieve their learning

outcomes that they need to achieve at a particular age and you can imagine plastic over it then this learning outcomes even becomes. their treatment of the same becomes a problem. if the power fails in the signal cuts out then she was simply asked to miss out on the class which is frustrating but remote schooling at least offer some sense of stability during the crisis. i totally agree totally free this is also the reason why sophia husain invites round as many as 10 kids a day to use her t.v. in the keep her district she wants to protect them from another kind of threat during the crisis. it is important in that you know here in so many cases a very. mystical raylene syria so i'm trying my best to

put them together so that the they don't and in them since. there are many like sophia haasan trying to help others they are the backbone of nairobi's keep it a quarter people who won't give up no matter how long the crisis lasts. 'd in brazil the coronavirus has been downplayed by the country's president jay year bull sinatra despite testing positive he has pressed local governments to end lockdown measures and social distancing the outbreak in brazil has claimed the 2nd highest number of deaths after the us yet many brazilians are returning to pre-colonial virus activities many out of sheer necessity. it's a tough job working as a snack band around copacabana beach lessoned all of barrow wonders up and down in the sweltering heat for i was. he has no other choice. move both selling on the beach is still bad. but i just had to work again. because the

government doesn't provide enough support. pca. copacabana beach is of course an icon of rio de janeiro. it's also a place where rich meets paul. sun travels for 4 hours every day just to work if things go well he barely takes 100 euros home with him. i know this disease is killing a lot of people but if we all stay at home we'll die anyway only without work and food. and. strict social distancing measures off theoretically in place but the police have long given up trying to enforce them almost no one has follows the rules. it's an open goal for the virus as more and more people take ill and die and while the state is failing to control the situation pressure mounts to open back up

as if everything's returned to normal. that's plain to see as we leave the beach. the usual hustle and bustle just return to the alleyways of the old city. almost half of brazilians work in the informal sector and lift day to day so they have no choice but to be out. only a few shops was supposed to wipe it off the quarantine but hardly anyone stuck to that. the rich will brazilians we don't give up we battle and we muddle through before the city security came around a couple of times and tried to stop us working again i just quickly tired everything inside and left the door half open up all the. cattle and her family are also back in business selling food from the trunk of fact car. the lockdown took a big financial toll on. and you just say the book i think it being a good we're taking the risk because we have to work if we could stay at home we

would but we couldn't afford to anymore because they buy their love if they had to deny having dinner. after eating into their own stocks for a while cairo's mother has gone back to cooking for other people every night into the morning on the menu today is beef with rice and beans one portion costs a little over 2 year as they used to sell $100.00 meals a day now it's about 30. cairo had high hopes of president. and has promised economic boom but those hopes have been dodged by his handling of the pandemic. barely adequate i think my god and he runs around without a mask he's careless. you know he shakes people's hands he's no role model going to make women down but a lot of people follow his example they don't stick to the rules either because he's not a good role model may. be facing the death toll continues to rise unabated some

regions have even had to build musgrave's brazil isn't strong contention with the u.s. to become the world's worst affected country. the poorest are getting the worst of it we travel to the for one of the biggest and. people here seem to feel abandoned. a truck has just arrived with donations today it's been disinfectant volunteers from a citizens' initiative help unload the truck. and not only do we have to fend for ourselves that's the way it is in the 5. we're going to. the younger ones are doing most of the heavy lifting it's hope that they have a better chance of surviving a covert 19 infection. 20 year old student is one of the organizers. there are so many dead and so much sadness among family and friends. that's what

motivates us. we've already lost a member of the team to the kimono virus and my friend who's just been helping out is infected right now. that's not going to faint you know it's especially dangerous to distribute goods in the back alleys of mar a well armed gangs rule the streets the volunteers to put it for us outsiders are not welcome at the moment the virus is spreading and the inhabitants have no real means of protection. it's not clear how many people members those poor records as a falling victim to the virus because people who don't get tested don't turn up in the statistics what is certain is that the number of deaths has multiplied dramatically feels betrayed by her own government to give anything up any but the government doesn't care about the favela we're really angry with the state. because it doesn't just neglect us it's also racist and we suffer at the hands of the police here on the phone so i think again the 5 alun and most of the young black

people who are killed come from the favela. apple most of the black people who die of cope with 1000 come from the family and. right now we're at the epicenter of the coronavirus accord i view. and that the very people who are now packed on to buses and trains again. to go back to that job storing things like cleaning high end shopping malls so that those who can afford it can safely consume. the phallus of the city's engine room cleaners laborous street silos but also teaches nurses and bus drivers live here in these crowded settlements collectively indispensable but easily replaceable as individuals for decades this is the cynical equation that's cappers 0 running while keeping rich and poor wells apart. fake news and conspiracy theories like the notion that 5 g. radiation makes you sick have flourished on social media during the pandemic much

dissent from ation has spread on facebook reminding many of the platforms role in the 2016 u.s. election campaign. back then with the help of data analysis from cambridge analytical wealthy right wingers and russian operatives targeted voters on facebook possibly influencing the outcome of the election. critics of social media say its potential for manipulation undermines democracy. the internet a seemingly invisible and intangible place but there are also invisible dangers lurking beneath the surface. to me it feels like boiling a frog you know very slow incremental changes and we end up as the fall from. britain's breck's it and the us selection of donald trump were among the 1st

political campaigns to use algorithms to target and manipulate who uses. such a new form of censorship a very very strange one. democracy is vulnerable now because we are vulnerable to manipulation that we don't even notice. we meet someone in london who's played a part in that manipulation christopher wiley works for cambridge analytical the company behind the worst case of data abuse in facebook's history it was co-founded by former white house chief strategist steve bannon and ended up serving as a propaganda machine what he was analytic has showed is. how easy it is to infiltrate american political discourse and manipulating the harms that have come from that. to me is akin to that you know our weapon of mass restrict destruction 6 years ago while he left cambridge analytical he became

a whistle blower and testified before the u.s. senate now he's written a new book a peek inside the engine room of mental manipulation. the purpose of. the algorithms. they came in general in a creative word to identify people who were more. prone soon neurotic traits or conspiratorial ideation the company got hold of and analyzed the data of millions of facebook users to identify the individual fears together with psychologists cambridge analytical was then able to develop targeted political propaganda for different types of people that have the power to skew someone's you point even if by just a few degrees rather than talk in public i can whisper into each and every single person here i remember. watching

a focus group where. african-american women would talk about how vulnerable they would feel going to their 2nd or 3rd job at night walking alone. in the middle of a city and that you know they needed a gun to protect themselves if you're a right wing campaigner you go ok so let's ignore all the race justice stuff let's ignore equality let's focus on the feeling of being a vulnerable black woman in the middle of the night. cambridge analytical no longer exists but the tools they developed still do journalist peter pomeranz earth researches propaganda at the london school of economics. in the west we did have a social contract for 60 years around certain types of disputes. that we'd learnt from totally terrorism that we don't use but the internet just took it to a different place and suddenly all the stuff that was for what and now you know we

do not do demeaning the other in polite discourse you know we could hinted it the tabloids played with that you know they they kind of they were an echo of nazi or soviet propaganda but to just see not propaganda all the time on the internet every day is pretty pretty shocking one tactic used to destabilize democracies is to flood the internet with contradictory narratives this is freedom of speech but used in a way to camouflage the truth what they do is something that some people call censorship through noise they. flood the information space where so much this information information chaos and what's the pattern calls flood the zone with both that people can't tell what's true or false and so this is censorship not through constricting but through opening up the gates of information. it's like a place has been created where freedom of speech starts to attack itself it's easy

to believe that politics will never catch up with the digital world but that may not be the case. imagine entering into a building. that was built by an architect that didn't have to follow any safety standards because he put certain terms and conditions at the front of the door and what we have in software engineering and data architecture is no rules we need to have a legislative framework for digital technology that recognizes that it is a product of engineering they're not services. no one from cambridge analytical suffered any consequences for their actions there are calls for a regulatory body to approve algorithms move fast and break things was once a facebook it's obviously worked. in our global ideas series we focus on climate change projects that inspire and offer solutions

this week we go to zimbabwe where a devastating cyclone struck in 21000. people in the region. who are involved in rebuilding and environmental protection in the wake of the storm an. 18 year old. remains devastated she was here. through 2019. several of her friends were killed in the disaster over 200 houses were destroyed even now to good sewer can barely come to terms with the power of the storm. this blessing i see. a wonderful place there were lots of things. but. in a moment everything was born. it i also caused

a series of landslides in the nearby to money money national park. to my money is home to 200 different species of bird. so there are a cypher chorale he has been working for nature conservation organization bird life zimbabwe here since 2013 now reconstruction is also on his list of tasks. if i will restore actually something now we have seen what has happened with deliberate set up which must be monumentally which is this is the ideal city area. it's an area that also needs restoration as well so that she didn't fire a little so called you to be degraded. the environmentalist and his organization are active in 6 villages. in one of the tree nurseries villages like john janji have joined together with others to grow new

trees we sit down to their community to really build tate our our area by. blending is. different in the species so we started by cruising. some. of weatherboard needs so that we nest there while i miss that. sucker rye is worried that invasive plants species might take root and spread in the areas destroyed by either by. native plants would be of much more use to the environment and the people here they can grow in a changing climate. models an inch to a new species of trees was there used to already be local conditions. and also the rain before i mean that in the used to save the these trees have to be replanted to

increase there when the bricks. twice a month suck araya gets together with representatives of the surrounding villages. the environmental scientist gives advice on how to use the natural resources and he tries to instill an awareness of nature and the animals and especially the birds in the area if they come from the different villages the knowledge of that we can put into this group for people we are sure that it was a sprint to the other 6 villages in a few minutes. john jangi has prepared live sacrificing to practice in his own garden. alongside his miss and maize crops he now also keeps a fruit or change. the name of another. mean i realize that an orchard is one of the many sources of income generation for me. they were before i started this i used to only grow maize and vegetables. that i

later grew to appreciate the orchard. different trees norrish the soil and i'm spoilt for choice. because a some fruit trees are growing others are already bearing fruit. but there would be somewhere that i gotta. he sells his freeze in neighboring villages and that ensures him an income even during the coronavirus crisis. so they're a side soccer riot is happy with the orchards abandons because it's also important for the whole area. there's a davis store burrs in this for money money mountains. that also visit. communities in the forests and also they also come into orchards where they could actually get some food since all feed on falls so by

having different authors they also supply food to many organisms or just where it's safe. insect populations will also ravaged by side you die most of the 50 beehives here were destroyed. traditionally farmers here hollowed out tree trunks to service hives. now bird lives and bob way is helping them to make beehives out of timber wood as a way of protecting the remaining tree stocks move. we have fruit trees in the village go in and spread the pollen and this is good for our harvests because eventually we'll have more fruit and when people realise that there are bees in this area they won't chop the trees down because they're frightened of bees also provide some form of security because if you did. $600.00 hives up

planned the environmentalists believe that if people have a sufficient source of income they will be more likely to protect the environment. that's all from global 3000 this time do write in and tell us what you thought of the show and look us up on facebook didn't you women see you soon. the but. the bigger.
