fist on month's issue of the global media for. europe is facing global challenges. developing the european public sphere especially digitally is one of the biggest challenges in the coming years. who could immediately here. join our discussion starts 1230 u.t.c. . this week on world stories the jungle school for running a tank says on its own kind of locked down. protected wildlife has been found on restaurant menus. let's start out in the united states and some cities black lives

matter protesters are being intimidated by trump supporters now in washington state a right wing militias patrolling the streets. target training with the armed civilian group american wolf somewhere in the state of washington this is one of peter d.l. says favorite rifles that a tory is a k 47 or kalashnikov originally made by the soviet army but now a weapon of choice to defend american values as he says. pretty good classic so they don't make them like that anymore right dia's believes it takes armed men like him and his group to keep america the way it is. they fear freedom is under threat in the wake of the pandemic and countrywide protests but they're also led by conspiracy theories. their government is in the

midst of a coup. there's certain members of our government who are actively working to change this government from what it's designed to be the land of opportunity they're trying to turn us into some sort of socialist government a new form of government humanitarianism where the group is on what they call a mission to portland in the past they have acted as peace keepers tonight they want to get 1st hand impressions off the portland protests that have been going on for more than 80 nights i'm sure you have the refuses to wear face masks protesters attacked them immediately i believe like some of it has to do with our president. feels let that kind of behavior and that ideology just currish and i think that now they think that they have power. when they were here for black lives matter. and there all here for white supremacy. but d.s. insists his group does not stand for wild supremacy he wants the police to take

tougher action against what he sees as a violent black lives matter movement. in my opinion when it gets to this type of. mob mentality it should be dispersed that's where i stand with it. police hanging back i understand that they're worried about the numbers growing but i would handle the situation differently if i had the manpower and equipment. critics say on civilian groups like american wolf are inside seeing violence just by their presence but in the end it was they who had to retreat. for many years animal conservationists on the west indonesian island of sumatra have been caring for a ring attack but here too the corona pandemic has put the jungle school on lockdown. humans have to keep their distance from

a ring of things to even at lunch time. because both species are at risk of contracting the new corona virus. these are wrong or tang's are under lockdown and have had to stay in their cages for months. if. you can train them. by the distance to get to them or is really ridiculous for them. right. there for us. so they can learn their meals are delivered wrapped in leaves so they have to figure out how to get the food useful practice when they're later released into the wild. the cages are disinfected twice a day. hygiene is of crucial importance. the teams who care for the animals rotate every 3 weeks before they start work staff have their temperature taken another

coronavirus precaution they shot the video for this report themselves are long time d.n.a. is 97 percent identical to the out of humans so they're extremely susceptible to all our diseases especially those affecting the risperidone tract. you know that's the main reason why we've imposed such strict quarantine. has been reporting on this project for years 3 aim is to prepare a ragged tanks for survival in their natural jungle habitat in the. rain forest in central sumatra. many were rescued as orphans often held captive as pets under terrible conditions they had forgotten or had never learned how to move through the tree tops forage for food and build nests their keepers at the jungle school teach them all these skills usually out in the forest itself this was before the corona virus pandemic the lock down can only be relaxed once the pandemic has

been contained this is not good for the animals their fitness deteriorates and they become bored even the carjack. those that have already been set free currently lead better lives it is still something more. money. you should any things here catch the coronavirus they won't pass it on to other ones in the wild what's more they tend to be naturally self isolating creatures anyway and don't hang out in big groups. the team faces the challenge of protecting their wards from possible infection while also training them for release this video was shot a couple of years ago there is no guarantee that a self-sustaining population will emerge here again over the past half century 80 percent of the region's rain forests have been cut down to make way for vast plantations. on our last visit paid to proctor stressed the importance of saving the forest and teaching the tangs survival skills. the number of covert 1000 cases

among humans in indonesia continues to rise the project has a backup plan if the lockdown goes on for too long. it will release its orangutans into the wild before they've completed their schooling but will then provide them with longer term support out in the forest. in many african countries the trade in protected wildlife or its meat is strictly prohibited even so many produce markets are full of it one example can be found in the nigerian capital lego's. it doesn't matter what day it is this market stays open shortly after the april lock down it was the 1st come its customers back crocodiles penguins endangered species are openly source here available to anyone willing to pay the right price

yeah certainly it's you know the i never got this one without a business does business follow. a crocodile goes for $30.00 to $75.00 a small penguin for $25.00 bush meat is pricey demand is high. it's not just seen as a delicacy among wealthy nigerians the country is an emerging transit hub for the illegal wildlife trade tons of penguin scales are shipped to asia every year. we are meeting china do more ball at this market he's a wildlife activist who says nigerians place little value on their own white life they feel this is sweeter it's tasty whatsoever but what they don't understand is that most of this animal that you have continued hunting over time i really do you see in number very soon we will be gone today and lizard is on sale to do is trying

to buy up animals that are still alive and save them before they are killed a race against the clock. if i don't buy them through for my purpose which is the feeling i believe people will come and buy them for food and if you've seen most of these animals they're coming like this every day and it they are lost in nigeria to protect the species we're showing the pictures to a representative of a government agency that is supposed to enforce the law so why is this business floor xing them a lot away at all. try to just put us in the really know what is happening so you can adjust pounce on people and to keep the people 1st saw and continue to question is education then of course then the 1st one to follow only to. china who says nigeria has a lot of problems and wildlife is not the priority. for

5 years now and head off much has been living in germany as a syrian refugee he's managed to rescue his passion for playing the piano from the ruins of his hometown and bring it to his new home. because songs tell of pain and a lost homeland but also of hope 5 years ago pianist a hamas mad fled syria specifically the yarmouk refugee camp for palestinians. back there he played music to counter the nightmare scene of bomb craters and ruined buildings and created beauty to fight despair. i was hungry or so and i don't can't feed my family but i was giving playing piano we die anyway we will die from hunger and 56 days von when i don't die play piano at least it's held me i

don't think music it's feed people or helped people really it's helped the mentality to see at least some of the whites quite a place in the in all this got us to off in the other more calm. yarmulkes a neighborhood of damascus it was under constant siege from i asked troops for years people there had no electricity no food or medicine and a ham played music. in the images of him playing went viral when they have fled to germany in 2015 he was already a minor celebrity and was quickly offered a public stage but he felt uncomfortable with the attention. that. i am here famous playing piano the pianist all feel moved but we are a group of people i try to keep in connection with him it's not easy and when somebody is still dying from hunger and you tell him look we speak about you he it

up what it's done for me there you know all of this is this is not the easy here he is performing at a refugee shelter in berlin at a celebration marking 5 years since chancellor angela merkel's we can do it statement in the meantime ahab's wife and sons have joined him and he can worked. thank onset people listen to him when i going on with this a story and remembering your new cream i'm buying the war it's a little heavy here and this is why i will stop the music because when i go on this well will instead of the pianist and the trombone or that it's horrible image but the horrible images from a ham ass mads past won't stop so easily hopefully he won't give up music that helped him during his darkest times and it helps him now allowing him to make a living and a new life in germany. any
