step out. orders. the students or the pests don't stand up to. training successful. such that it starts drug 27th to death. welcome to global 3000. 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 keeper of district of nairobi where the

coronavirus 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 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. do 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 how can they bring up the she and the hero we did not. like handing because he was out of a good way because the thing that he that we love to the beauty of it to other

people and do about it aka not because the driver and the police agreed with us that they had taken 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 viewed as if you're i'm with. 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 markdowns 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 poor 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 flu. parsers. 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 she one do can't homeschool their children the family has no laptop tablet or computer and the power is often out anyway. but 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. so don't say just newsgroup. because. you don't have any teeth.

to be. no longer just heard movement. i need. to learn so. there's still a. hint of the really big i won't grow up i went to be devoted. to. her and 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 the learning crisis you know it was very

high the. children are not able to achieve their learning or they need to achieve at a particular age and you can imagine plastic corbet then this learning outcomes even becomes. their children of the same becomes a problem. if the power fails in the signal cuts out then she will simply have 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 kibera district. she wants to protect them from another kind of threat during the crash. it is important in. so many cases of. the mystical. so i'm trying my best to put together the they don't and.

there are many like sophia haasan trying to help others they're the backbone of nairobi's keep it a quarter people who won't give up no matter how long the crisis lasts. in brazil the coronavirus has been downplayed by the country's president joe 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 precursor on a virus activities many out of sheer necessity. it's a tough job working as a snack vendor on copacabana beach. lessened the olive arrow ones up and down in the sweltering heat for our was he has no other choice.

selling on the beach is still bad. but i just had to work again. because the government doesn't provide enough support. to seeing him. 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 erotically 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 it everything's returned to normal. that's plain to see as we leave the beach. the usual hustle and bustle has returned to the alleyways of the old city. almost half of brazilians work in the informal sector and lived day to day so they have no choice but to be out. only a few shops was supposed to open off to quarantine but hardly anyone stuck to that . there's much of the will brazilians we don't give up we will 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 tied it everything inside and left the door half open. cattle and her family are also back in business selling food from. trunk of their car. the lock down took a big financial toll on them. and you think it being 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 be bothered by the law to think it's a van i haven't been. reaching into their own stocks for a while caro'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 years but used to sell 100 meals a day now it's about 30. cairo had high hopes of president. and has promised economic boom but those hopes have been damaged by his handling of the pandemic. and of what i think my dad and he runs around without a mask he's careless about it he shakes people's hands he's no role model going to make him and all 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 i don't know 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. or 20 year old student is one of the organizers. to. 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 coronavirus and my friend who's just been helping out is infected right now. that's any different you know. it's especially dangerous to distribute goods in the back alleys of maher a guy. ngs ruled 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 of those poor of quarters of falling victim to the virus because people who don't get tested don't turn up in the statistics that is certain is that the number of deaths has multiplied dramatically feels betrayed by her own government. in opening night the government doesn't care about the favela we're really angry with the state. because it doesn't just make liked us it's also racist and we suffer at the hands of the police here

on the phone. on the far van and most of the young black people who are killed come from the favela. apple most of the black people who die of covert 1000 come from the following and. right now we're at the epicenter of the coronavirus quote i view dish. and that the very people who are now popped on to buses and trains again. to go back to that job stirring things like cleaning high end shopping malls so that those who can afford it can safely consume. the favelas of the city's engine room cleaners laborous street sellers 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 26 team 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. for me it feels like boiling a frog you know very slow incremental changes and we end up as the foil from. britain's bricks it made 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 need someone in london who's played a part in that manipulation christopher wiley works for cambridge analytic 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 as showed is. how easy it is to infiltrate american political discourse and manipulating the harms that have come from that. to me is i can see you you know a weapon of mass destruction 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 viewpoint even if by just a few degrees rather than talk in public i can whisper in syria 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 discourse. 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 warts 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 bloody 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 misinformation information chaos and what's the pattern calls flood the zone with. the 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 we 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 the books my wife. has a warning 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 the devastating cyclone struck in 2019 we meet people in the region around national park who are involved in rebuilding and environmental protection in the wake of the storm. 18 year old. remains devastated she was here when cycling through in march 2019. several of the friends were killed in the disaster over $200.00 houses were destroyed even now tucker who are can barely come to terms with the power of the storm. this placea single payer wonderful place there were lots of things. but it's. in every moment if it was a boy. 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 bat. so there are a cipher corral he has been working for nature conservation organization bird life zimbabwe here since 2013 now reconstruction is also on his list of tasks. restoration is something now we have seen what is happening around with deliberate set up which are mostly malum alley which is this is the ideal city area and. it's an area that also needs restoration as well so that she. continued 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 me trees we sit down there's a community. and our our area by. blending is. different in the species so we started by using. some. 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. 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 too in your species of trees was there used to already be local conditions served and also the rainfall that will be used to save the these trees have to be rebranded 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 the animals and especially the birds in the area as they come from the different villages the knowledge that we put into this group of people we are sure that it was sprayed to do or even the other 6 villages in minute. john john g. has prepared life's advice into practice in his own garden. alongside his ministers and maize crops he now also keeps a fruit or change. then every other woman. in i realized that an orchard is one of the many sources of income generation for me. when i was 4 i started this i used to only grow maize and vegetables. it was that i

later grew to appreciate the orchard. different trees nourish the soil and i'm spoilt for choice. because a some fruit trees are growing others are already bearing fruit. but there somewhere that i got the. job he sells his friesen they bring villages and that ensures him an income even during the coronavirus crisis. so there are a side soccer riot is happy with the orchards abundance because it's also important for the whole area. is a davis store burrs in the money many mountains and it is when they share the border with good national parks. that also visit. communities in the forests in also they also come into orchards where they can actually get some food since all feed on falls so by having different

authors they also supply food to many organisms which is where it's safe. insect populations will also ravaged by so i can eat i most of the 50 beehives here we destroy. traditionally farmers here hollow tree trunks to set us hives. now live some bubbly is helping them to make the hives out of timber wood as a way of protecting the remaining tree stocks move. to 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 realize. there are of bees in this area they won't chop the trees down because that frightened of them so the bees also provide some form of security you think if you did you mean shown 600 hives

up and 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 then tell us what you thought of the show and look us up on facebook d w women see you soon. my

family was being life on mosques robot is about to head that to look for traces. it's an incredibly complex machine packed with amazingly such equipment. talked to 2 scientists from germany working on the project. to do to. get 30 minutes on t.w.

. every day counts for us and for our planet. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make see the screen. how can we protect our tenants. we can make a difference. global wind do those environmental series of little $3000.00 on t.w. and almost. has a virus spread. why do we panic and when we'll all be. true just 3 of the topics covered and a weekly radio show is called spectrum if you would like any information on the coronavirus or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast you can get it wherever you get your podcasts you can also find us at. slash science.

but i'm wondering if you know i mean in your minutes he. goes oh no there's cynical media. us all up with out about our. vision of getting. it on when it. this you know i mean when you're not in a scene going you know what an uppercase sort of moment to know. what impervious to any material but i'm like what an organized you don't know what his experiment. is you know i mean in your minority growing you are getting what are you i don't want to. be number and generous. to chicago because you prayed yes or. i should run. going on i've only said but i caught one on one for being fun to. point 0.10 because as you say i said.

above. the. law but i am. this is the good news last night from berlin u.s. president donald trump wants americans to go in a crisis will get worse before it gets better it comes as he resumed covert 19 briefings on tuesday after nearly 3 months long break trump also told americans to wear a mask if they can socially a distance will trust washington for the latest also coming out to germany since the start of the high profile trial of a man accused of targeting a synagogue in the city of hama and killing 2 processes. we did.
